I'm looking into publishing my android app on the amazon appstore. I tried to make a custom avd for fire phone/tablet but I am lacking the skins to make them look correct. I found mention of an amazon avd launcher that was once part of their sdk but is no longer available. Does anyone know where I could download the last version that they released or an alternate emulator?

A real user posting about the Lead 7

I purchased a Lead 7 phone from Geekbuying. It's a Chinese Marketplace. I paid with PayPal (to provide some level of protection) and had it shipped DHL. Just to add more believability (besides the fact that I type in American English) my DHL tracking number was 2723845025. I don't know how long it can be tracked, but at least it gives you something to verify if you happen across this soon.

I bought this phone because I wanted a decent camera on my phone, I was hoping that the battery life was what they are claiming it would be, and I am planning on spending some time in Africa where having two SIM cards is a plus. In short I am satisfied with the camera, but I am not satisfied with the battery life.

I am a casual phone user and I am very cheap, so take all of this through that filter. I am also an electrical engineer, so I have some technical ability, though my expertise is in embedded electronics. I am moving up from a Sony Xperia Tipo Duo (yeah... I know).

I have no complaints about the shipping or packaging. The phone itself is a nice size and a nice build. It doesn't feel cheap. The screen is beautiful, very bright, very wide viewing angle. I am very happy with the camera. I am not a photography expert, I just want good pictures of my kids and family from my phone. It has touch to focus. Actually both front facing (8MP) and back facing (13MP) cameras take nice pictures, as a casual user I am very satisfied.

The UI is ok. I don't particularly like their audio app or their photo app/ window that is permanently one of the windows you slide to, but I can live with it. I was able to get root using Kingo Root. Though I can't update the binaries for SuperSU. I have tried both normal mode and TWRP but wasn't successful (Installing the .zip failed in TWRP). I haven't messed with it much further to figure that out (any suggestions to save me some time would be appreciated).

Now the biggest issue. The battery capacity seems too good to be true, I knew that purchasing it, but still it was worth a try. This is one thing that I can talk completely competently about. I was not satisfied with what I was getting run time wise out of the phone (About 26hrs. of moderate use before needing to charge). Nothing near what the mfg. was claiming. I checked usage some with Better Battery Stats. The hardware does seem to quickly suck juice. Well, I decided to do a battery test outside the phone. See attached picture and chart. Basically, the battery is performing more like at 3500mAHrs. They are lying about the 4500mAHrs. Not to surprised, but still disappointed. If they see this and want to send me a new battery that is up to specs I would be glad to check it out for them. :o But I doubt that's going to happen. I am sending a e-mail about it, but expect to get Chinese technical support, which means the run-around.

Hope this is helpful to someone out there. I'll try to respond to questions as I am able if you have any.

Battery recharge

I forgot one more thing. They claim the battery will recharge to 80% in one hour. That also appears to be a lie. My battery was at 51% after recharging for exactly 1 hour, this was after my battery drain test that is attached to the above post.

please anyone know how to fix this? i love this phone. thanks
[Android General] a_wolfie:
Proximity sensor seems glitchy.

I have lived with this phone for close to a month now. Overall I still like it, though I don't know that I would purchase it again if I had a "do over" opportunity. The main thing that has annoyed me is that when I am talking on the phone the screen turns on. I don't think the proximity sensor is working correctly. While I am talking on the phone (holding the phone up to my ear) the screen keeps turning on. If I remove the phone from my ear for a moment, and then put it back up to my ear the screen turns back off, but soon after (sometimes 5 seconds, sometimes more like 20 seconds, it varies) the screen turns on again.

I have been able to help the battery life through removing a few wakelocks. There was an item that was keeping it from going into deep sleep. So when I am not using it much it is great on battery power (for example, overnight it will only use 2-3%) However, once the screen is on it drops much quicker. You can see my battery graph in the attachment to get an idea. I have been getting 40-50% per day with my normal usage. Not what I was originally hoping for in battery life, but it is usable.

I was able to switch the launcher. Again I didn't hate their default launcher, but I found the audio player window and photograph window useless to me. I like having an app drawer too, which they did not have.

There is only one other annoying thing, but I am not sure if it is phone related or app related. I use Yahoo mail. Mainly because I have used that account for 18 years. My yahoo mail app doesn't seem to pick up new mail notifications with this phone as well as my last phone. I only use data over Wi-Fi, but I am definitely in range of connected Wi-Fi networks when I have missed notifications. Wi-Fi optimization is on in Advanced Wi-Fi settings, I don't know if that could be effecting it? I don't know exactly what that setting does other than what it says about minimizing battery usage.

Again, I hope this info is helpful to someone.

[XDA Assist] jonandi:
So, I've just started to set up my new AFTV - F'ware version 51.1.0.1 user 510055620

and I've blocked updates with my Router. I'm DEFINITELY not a Techee, and only just managed to install Kodi.

I'm running a VPN to access Netflix from Australia, but haven't yet managed to sideload Netflix ( i've previously had it running on Apple TV) I've sideloaded Kodi Helix 14.0 . I don't anticipate needing to root, and doubt if I could handle the learning curve anyway.

My questions:-

(1) Should I update Firmware and thus forego the ability to root, (which I don't anticipate ever needing to do) or, should I keep running with the old Firmware? What advantages would the newer Firmware provide?

At this early stage, I anticipate only needing Kodi & Netflix.

(2) If I stay with old Firmware (51.1.0.1), what version of Netflix should I sideload?

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a software issue to me. If I were you, I'd flush it out by backing up everything, then proceed to erase everything, including the internal storage, then flash a new rom from scratch. If that cures it, then comes the hard part. You'd have to re-install your apps one by one in a sort of reverse elimination to find out exactly which one caused it. Good luck.

[General Topics] basjke:
Hi all, this is my first post in this forum.

I own a rooted Samsung Gt-N7000 with KK custom rom.

Before it was rooted

, I would experience that if there was some pressure on the phone, because it was in my pocket and I bended my legs, the phone would reboot.

I checked it out manually by trying to apply pressure on the screen or trying to bend it, and the result was always that the screen would flicker for a second and right away reboot.

Now fast forward to after I rooted the phone. At that point the phone wouldn't automatically reboot anymore, but I would pull it out of my trouser pocket and the screen would be off. The only way to reset it would be to hold the power button for an extended time or remove the battery.

I tested it again the same way I did before it was rooted, and it would also give the screen flicker but not automatically reboot anymore.

Next I started to notice that after I manually rebooted, it would reboot normal but as soon as the boot image started to appear it would give the same screen error.

All small lines in different colors or a single horizontal white line which moved over the screen. I could boot into TWRP recovery and the screen would look normal and touch would work, but as soon as I the system boot image appeared the screen would go in error.

This is an example of how my phone screen looked ( this is not my phone)

I did a clean reinstall from the ROM, whereby wiping everything, but same result.

Then I went into the mount section of the recovery and noticed that EFS-System and data were

not

mounted. So I ticked them, reboot and everything is fine.

The following times I experienced the error it was exactly same. Rebooting or re-flashing ROM would give no positive result, only after going into the mount tab and tick EFS-system and data and reboot the problem is solved.

Any advise what is happening will be much appreciated.
[General Topics] Hannah Stern:
This is a GT.i9300 or i9305, not N7000.

EDIT: I SEE, this is not your phone.

Sorry for my mistake :)

However, BACK UP ALL DATA Before doing anything.

Then you can root/unroot/reinstall/up or downgrade as much as you like.
[General Topics] basjke:
I understand the OP is lengthy and since English is not my native language it may be confusing, but I think you missed the point of my question, which is that the phone is rooted already with a custom ROM installed.

I have searched a bit more in the mean time and it sounds as if the EMMC chip is the cause of my problem. I have the affected chip in my phone, but I understand that the available patch is to prevent sudden death. I don't know if the patch also resolves the screen issue.

My understanding is that I have applied the patch by installing the latest Lanchon kernel with TRIM FPBug and have the latest Slimsaber ROM installed which to my understanding has the patch integrated as well.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

That's no problem ;)
[General Topics] basjke:
So I have read up more on the issue and the eMMC chip I have installed is the VYL00M rev 0x19.

According to the Cyanogen wiki my chip may be affected with the wear leveling bug.

This problem also occurs in fwrev 0x19, but has not been observed there, and is in any event far less severe than the infamous "Superbrick" secure erase bug, as the user only needs to perform a wipe data/factory reset operation to recover.

There is a patch from Samsung which is here.

https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/omap/+/3c57a612f12b069bbc863ec0c74a26850d76a9e8^!/

Only thing is that it is Chinese to me as how to apply the patch. Can someone help me with instructions how to apply the patch?
[General Topics] Hannah Stern:
If you Factory-Reset the phone, all data gets completely lost so do a backup before doing anything. ;)
[General Topics] basjke:
I understand that but with the patch applied my problems should be solved, at least that is my understanding, so I would not need to factory reset the phone anymore.

Problem is that I have no idea how to apply the patch.

Also take note that factory reset and re-flash ROM doesn't solve my problem.

To solve my screen problem I have to go into the mount tab of the TWRP recovery, tick EFS - DATA _ SYSTEM, and reboot.

This works even without factory reset or reinstall the ROM.
