Hi to everyone!

I've decided to open a new thread 'cause I haven't found something similar around here...

So...are out there ANY ALTERNATIVE FONT installable on LG G2 running CloudyG3 rom? :eek:

I mean, is there a possibility to have new fonts (Helvetica one for example) instead of LG Smartworld's ugly ones? :confused::crying:

I hope you can answer me!

Best regards! :good::highfive:

Hi there....

I am using Micromax Unite 2 . Recently I erased all the system using SP Flash tool and i don't made any NVRAM backup. So it was showing IMEI error and nVRAM wifi error . I have fixed them all but now the issue is the 3G mode. 2G mode working perfectly but when i changed the network mode to "Always 3G " the operator signal gone. So i am unable to use 3G services. Plz help me to solve this problam....
[XDA Assist] It_ler:
Maybe it's best to start all over and flash back the stock firmware.

You can check this thread. CWM recovery for Micromax Unite 2 / Myphone Rio Lite.

And if you have further questions, please ask in the [Q&A] Micromax Unite 2 Root and Custom Recovery thread.

Good luck !

The battery backup is neither too good nor too bad.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CentaXx:
Hey,

yesterday i faced a problem i didn't knew of yet. As i mentioned sometimes, i came from an One M7 2 weeks ago as it didn't work the way it should - camera useless and awful battery life. I rooted the M7, had problems with it and so on - just how it is with a rooted phone + custom roms.

However, due to the DRM i didn't root my Z3 yet. Yesterday i took it out my pocket, thought it was a bit warm.. nevermind. It worked. 30 minutes later i pulled it out again, still warm, and screen wouldn't turn on. I reset it (power and vol+ for those who didn't know), tried to boot again.. well, it took several minutes and finally showed me the attached error message. The system performance was really, really low. Everything stuttered, i couldn't even enter my pin. A few forced reboots later i could finally enter my pin and get into my system only to notice that my data partition wasn't doing fine. I had to set language and so on in the initial setup process, apps kept force-closing in seconds. My own apps were still on the device, however when i tried to open WhatsApp there was no data there, i should have gone through the registration process. The phone froze after seconds each time. I tried to enter the fastboot menu (is it called that way?) while booting to just do a factory reset, didn't find the button combination. So finally, after i found home without navigation from no man's land (sure, why doesn't it happen at home anyway..), i managed to boot it, get through settings and initiate a factory reset. Of course, all the apps were deleted then and i could install all apps like LightFlow again. Had to re-enter all the settings i did in those kind of apps, it was kind of annoying.

So, my questions: Why the hell did this happen to my Z3? Not rooted, didn't even think of it. There wasn't a day on the One M7 without flashing anything and it never happened. It wouldn't have been as bad as it was on the Z3, as i HAD root, could have wiped data in TWRP in a matter of seconds and also had backups of my data, which i of course didn't have for my unrooted Z3.

Is it likely to happen again? Can any app do this on a non-rooted phone? I read a bit about the error, that it would be caused by some apps, but not in the extent as it happened on my phone. Most of the times it would just be an annoying error message.

I got a thing in always getting a defective unit, so i hope it isn't happening again on the Z3 :D
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Maybe the internal flash is corrupted/failing. I had a similar issue with my HTC One X I went to nap one day and half hour later it shut down, it restarted but boot looped. Eventually it showed no data partition as being mounted and completely died. They replaced the motherboard.

Better contact Sony, maybe you need a replacement.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CentaXx:
Mh, actually that's the least thing i want to do.. I'd have to wait for at least 2 weeks to get it back and chances are that they won't do a thing or damage it (bad experiences with my former Razr i). It works just fine after the factory reset, no errors yet. If it should happen again, i'd of course send it in for repair but i think, until then i will use it normally, with more caution and backups of course.

I have been prompted to update a Samsung Tab 3 10.1 so pressed update and now it restarts says it updates as far as 100 percent and then switches off. If I then switch it back on then it says updating again. I also can not get to the recovery. Can anyone help?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob23bk:
Details - When you switch it on it says updating again, could you describe the screen you speak of/post pictures if possible?

Can you get into recovery mode? Download mode??

At least it still turns on :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukmouse:
Many Thanks for the response. I have solved it not. The reason it was happening was the battery had to be fully charged. It was charged enough to boot but not to update. Left it for a while on charge and restarted and everything was great
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TraNe15:
Hi there!

I'm planing to buy a Note 4 from a guy. The phone is brand new with box which is brought from Germany, N910F.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/lv46p1ymv63pf2h/AhnMYhQ3GbaEnhSa3gXAjIdBnaKKkMj4dnN2416P4kXZ.jpg?dl=0

The thing is when I check it's imei (the seller sent me a clear picture showing imei on the box), it says that the imei is a old nokia phone. (imei.info) I tried couple of different phones, 5 different android phones, and I only got one phone which does not match, LG G3. ı know that it's a legal phone, my friend bought it from a samsung store. So the thing is, do you guys think that that Note 4 is fake? Or is there a problem about website since it shows LG G3 as a old phone?

I want to make sure everything is ok about this phone before paying alot!

Thank you!

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mychaelp:
I've been reading forums all over the place related to the buffering issues I'm experiencing using Gotham 13.2 on my new Fire TV box.

The settings that get me the best results here: (Can't remember what forum I found them on)

<network>

<autodetectpingtime>30</autodetectpingtime>

<buffermode>3</buffermode>

<cachemembuffersize>708669603</cachemembuffersize>

<curllowspeedtime>5</curllowspeedtime>

<curlclienttimeout>30</curlclienttimeout>

<readbufferfactor>4.0</readbufferfactor>

</network>

The streams start really quick, but if it's 1080p, it buffers every 2 minutes 22 seconds or so. 720p works fine.

I've tried many many settings I find here and at other forums with worse results. With this one I tried the buffermode at 1 and 3.

There must be a setting I'm missing to try out.

I'm using the exact same networking connection as my old WDTV LIVE that had zero problems with these files. I just wanted to replace it with the Fire TV. Tried wired and wireless, same issues.

Thanks for any help anyone might have here.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evoxsin:
Thered a tweeks xml that gets copied to your drive and helps with buffering.

Basically it caches some of the stream and you play catch up viewing.

Or if u pause it make coffee or wat ever the whole thing will cache for you and you can watch with our stops.

I use it and it works well.

Some more than others

Id link you but a quick google search will get you what your looking for
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurnted:
from kodi wiki:

0	Buffer all internet filesystems (like "2" but additionally also ftp, webdav, etc.) (default)

1	Buffer all filesystems (including local)

2	Only buffer true internet filesystems (streams) (http, etc.)

3	No buffer

So....

<cachemembuffersize>708669603</cachemembuffersize>

<readbufferfactor>4.0</readbufferfactor>

aren't really helping; since buffer needs to be enabled to be cached or read.

Also; default readbufferfactor is 1 but all examples use 10 or 20 rather than placing a decimal such as you did. Your setting may be resulting in a factor of 0.40 due to formatting

I am using mode 1 and caching to disk rather than use RAM.

The wiki warns this may shorten disk life (but I think I can afford another $10 usb stick if this one fails)

Never have any buffering issues with these settings on latest SPMC.

<buffermode>1</buffermode>

<cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize>

<readbufferfactor>20</readbufferfactor>

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mychaelp:
Thank you for the input and tips to test out. Family is visiting right now, but shortly after the holiday I will test out. It seems there is no one-size-fits-all approach to get things working over a network with the Fire TV. Yet with my old WDTV Live player, absolutely zero issues.

I had found the settings I posted on another forum. They had the best results with zero buffering unless 1080p.

Will report back with results
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mychaelp:
OK, reporting back. These settings causes rebuffering every 20 seconds or so. My settings I posted above get me to about a minute in. It appears with my setup I won't be able to use this to play 1080p movies and will need to use my ancient WDTV box for that. I had high hopes but maybe XBMC just isn't set up to work as easily as the ancient WDTV's?

I hooked them up to HDMI1 and 2, tried each in succession and the WDTV plays flawlessly while the Amazon Fire TV buffers over and over again.

I may hold on to it in case someone comes up with a method or there is a special fork just for it that works better with my system.

Thank you for your easy to read analysis. It's appreciated. But it appears by googling, that many others are having my issue as well and have returned the boxes.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartymcfly:
How do you allow kodi to cache to disk instead of RAM? Isn't the disk flash based and less likely to get worn out compared to a spinning disk? I don't know but it seems like there is nothing to wear out if isn't spinning...

If you allow it to cache to disk then if you were to pause a movie and your sd had enough space, would it download the whole movie to disk and delete when more space is needed?

If so is there a setting where we allocate a maximum amount of disk space for the temporary downloads to fill so kodi knows when to delete other cached videos?

edit: I found the answer to my questions... setting buffer size to 0 and the temp download is deleted when the video is stopped.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartymcfly:
If you monitor your network's activity or just watch the buffer available as the greyed out area increases when you pause a video it will show much cache is building up. I have also set it to cache to disk and it does not cache very much of a video by using cache to disk.

I posted a question about this on kodi.tv They said that kodi will only cache about 1Gb of data per 3.5Gb of free disk space, as that is the amount of free space i had at the time of posting, not sure of official caching numbers. But there is no way that kodi cached a full gigabyte as it only showed network activity for a few moments when I was trying to stream the interview through kodi's youtube.

The wiki warns about disk life but I think that pertains to spinning disks that get worn out with constant use.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashsha7877:
set your advanced setting to 0 cache file, this will cache to your hard drive. You can use program such as xunity maintenance or maintenance tools to do this, just go into one of these program, i think it is under tweaks or fixes. It works great most of the time i am using this setting on my raspberry pi and on my fire tv. i have watched full 1080 movies and shows without any issue.

The buffering also depends on your internet speed. Have you try Ethernet connection if you are on wifi?

Also, test your internet speed to make sure. It also depends on the source it self, your connection may be fast enuf but the source it self is just slow or too much traffic.

Thank you
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mychaelp:
I will look into xunity maintenance since I'm new to XBMC and have not heard of it. I have a SMB share from an old laptop. Old laptop may be the reason 720p works well but not 1080p. It's just odd how the WDTV Live works perfectly. Oh, I tested wired and wireless and they both give me the same issues. I thought about buying a NAS, but I read here that many still have buffering issues.

Here are the latest settings I ended up with that give me the best results. 1080p gives a cache full error and rebuffers every 30 seconds or so. 720p is perfect. I can't recall where I found these, might have been here somewhere, or other forum. Tested way too many and getting tired of it.

<advancedsettings>

<network>

<buffermode>1</buffermode>

<cachemembuffersize>20971520</cachemembuffersize>

<readbufferfactor>20</readbufferfactor>

</network>

</advancedsettings>

So thank you for the information, it appears I need to read up as to what xunity is and how it might help me or where tweaks/fixes are within XBMC (hope I don't need to buy anything new).

Maybe with the popularity of the Fire TV there will be more guides on it one day. I got the box for $14 with an amazing deal so probably will keep it at least for streaming and use the ancient WDTV for movies if I can't figure this out.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
Are you certain they're still using the old xbmchub address for fusion? I used http://fusion.tvaddons.ag to set up a ouya the other day. Add-on installer installed but wouldn't work and config wizard gave a script error on 4 different builds (2 SPMC, xbmc for ouya and Gotham 13.2) Couldnt get it to work. Also I've had on & off issues with aftv even though I did get add-on installer working with helix and 13.2

Does it matter? What I mean is if fusion shows up at that point does the address used make a difference? Just trying to make sense of issues I didn't have before the hub became tvaddons.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashsha7877:
If you click on http://fusion.xbmcub.com it will take you to tvaddons so they are both good. It does not matter which one you use since both http are being pointed at one location.

on my ATFV i am using this path http://fusion.xbmcub.com and it works fine. I have used the config wizard and it is ok but i like to add the addons only i want to keep, to keep my set up clean. As far as add on installer it is generally ok but i used this file manager to add repo http://i.totalxbmc.tv this is one has all the repo in one place and easy to find, i like it better than add on installer when i want to add 3rd party repo's.

Thank you
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
Very good info. Thanks!

In a strange twist , I'm now having issues with a videos crashing on both aftvs, both 13.2 Gotham. This keeps occurring on 2 1080p videos. I assumed the op was trying to play movies from an add-on which could be effected by the speed of the server greatly.

No buffering for me. It plays perfect then crash. The files are 5 and 8 gb. Typically I watch tv shows and if I do play 1080p they're compressed mkvs.

I found messing with buffer size can cause other issues but can't say I've got much experience with it--didn't really need to. Would pushing a advanced settings.xml to increase buffer size help? Any other suggestions?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirwoogie:
There really seems to be some variability and misinformation regarding this stuttering, so I wanted to share my observations by experimentation so far:

Testing setup is full switched gigabit network with FireTV at 100FDX. Server is capable of 1Gbps full throughtput and is sharing files via SMB/CIFS. The network is stable.

Test PC on wired ethernet on same switch can stream any speed up to 1G

Test PC on wireless ethernet can stream any speed up to typical speed of 802.11n @ 5Ghz double-width channels (approx 200Mbps).

Appears to only affected

WIRED

FireTV boxes. Switching to wireless with good signal removes the buffering issue experienced.

FireTV stick is not affected (wireless only obviously).

Only applies to large bitrate MKV files (typically 1080p @ > 20 mbit). Anything lower (e.g. 720p or less) is not affected as the low throughput via wired is able to keep up.

This affects any variant of XBMC that I've tried:

Gotham 13.2

Kodi 14.0

SPMC 13.X

Affects at least 51.1.4.0_user_514006420 & 51.1.4.1_user_514013920 versions of FireOS.

None of the internet-suggested settings for the advancedsettings.xml file appears to alleviate the issue even though there are posts suggesting otherwise.

This may be true for those users, but not for all. I can't find a commonality besides the "being wired" issue.

It may be a combination of factors (OS, settings) that produce the symptom.

I'd really like to hear comments on this. Perhaps this is a network stack issue with the FireTV. Perhaps this is a buffer handling problem. I've heard others using Plex that experience these issues as well, so perhaps this leans the issue towards something on FireOS. I'm not familiar enough with detailed network settings on this OS to diagnose.

Other observations:

Oddly, setting <cachemembuffersize>XXX</cachemembuffersize> to any value causes it to be halved when in use. I've set it to 50MB, and the cache readout shows 25MB when full. Is this right?
