[Asus Zenfone 4] amandhamija99:
if you unlocked bootloader you will not get updates.

if you ever unlocked bootloader you will not get the update and you will not be able to update manually. even if you lock the bootloader you will never get OTA updates ever again.

but if you want to update you can by doing this.

first flash .raw full ROM (I cant post link to download it but if you Google you might get it). keep that file in your external SD then go to droidboot and do a factory reset from there go back to droidboot and select SD download your phone will automatically flash stock ROM and your phones bootloader will get locked.

then you can update manually.
[Asus Zenfone 4] matrix_guy:
Not able to update still. 're- locked and unrooted . Still no update
[Asus Zenfone 4] amandhamija99:
you will not get the update by OTA

unrooting and locking the bootloader will not help. if you ever unlocked bootloader you phone get banned from getting OTA update.

the only safe way to update now is to flash .raw ROM and then update by full ROM from Asus.com
[Asus Zenfone 4] K001droid:
Flash raw file first and then Download and update by full zip file.... update to 7.4.4 L its the best
[Asus Zenfone 4] hiimpig1:
if u not getting update from ota

going to asus.com and down load zip file put it in phone and update ( make sure ur bootloader is locked)

[Xposed General] enrico.ta:
Booting is very slow, lags.

Tasker, LMT launcher, Lucky Patcher apps are activated 5 minutes after the boot, and they do not work properly!

I have tried to uninstall all the modules under Xposed, start it alone, reinstall Xposed again, change version with last beta.

On my Galaxy Note 4 n910f rom Stock Original ver. NK5 with root permissions everything is ok before I have actived exposed.

Does anyone know the reason?

Thanks in advance!

:confused:
[Xposed General] winol:
I have issues like yours, some times is just one module that conflicts your system or frame work, sometimes I got "UI STOPED WORKING" Other times, boot loops, or lags, I have fixed restoring system in recovery from a previous backup, disabling xposed, disabling modules, and enabling one by one until finding the culprit, so far I found some settings in certain modules causing me trouble, not the entire module, I think it depends upon your device, rom, and combination of modules and settings , so you could try by elimination, as I did, I found the conflicts in xblast, xinstaller, swipeback, battery xthemer, xprivacy, donkeyguard, good luck
[Xposed General] RavenY2K3:
Install XSecureStorage from the modules list and see if that helps, let us know the outcome.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] QAN:
Hello,

Does anyone has also trouble with the clock function in the ameo? When I select a timezone and adjust the time everything is fine. But when I open the clock function a few times the timezone is reset to Us Pacific but the time stays the same. Changing back the timezone changes all your appointments. Because of this bug the device is not usable anymore. Also when I hard reset the device and do not install all the extra's, I have this problem.

Does somebody else have this problem?

[Fire TV General] patt2k:
Boght fire tv for someone from staples I was hoping to root it .. nope it had newest firmware and was updated on Dec.2 too bad... but that's fine.

It shows there were 2 remotes used 2 serial numbers (one is the one I just activated) and other one.

You guys think they sent me used one? or it was simply opened to update? everything looked brand new though..
[Fire TV General] t3ch42:
Go to aftvnews.com and use the serial decoder. You could tell what fw you should have had and probably figure out if it had been opened before.
[Fire TV General] patt2k:
I did it has shown "Rootable" and when I opened I saw it was updated on Dec.02.

Should I complain to staples about this? what you think?

I got around the root modules etc.. I needed so it's fine without root for this particular fire TV.
[Fire TV General] ashsha7877:
You should returned it asap, if the store accepts the return that were bought online and buy another one, just make sure it is one of those serial number and serial number seal is not broken.

Or just walk in to a staples buy a new one that has root able serial numbers and then go home open i andt put the other one in box and take it back to store and say it is defective you cant connect to internet either via wifi or ethernet so they will send it back to Amazon and wont re-sell it. Since the amazon device it self does not have any serial number labled that matches with the box there is no way they can confirm which one you giving it back....;)

Thank you
[Fire TV General] patt2k:
I was on chat with staples chat and my chat closed because it was after 8 PM EST I think he was about to prepare me a pickup @ my closest store and return the used one to staples via ups or something.

I will call them soon.

Just called them and the lady said just to go to the store and swap it and pack it how it came and just bring a receipt..

So now I need to find out how do I factory reset thing thing lol.

Thanks guys !
[Fire TV General] porkenhimer:
People should stop believing that anyone can tell if their fire tv is rootable by looking at the serial number, cause its impossible. I got three fire tv boxes at different times and none are rootable, but the decoder says they are. its just someone trying to take a guess and there are zero facts to say otherwise. Its funny how some people will believe anything that they read. I personally think that its a crap shoot, and that they update the boxes themselves, but sometimes they do not have the man power or time to get around to doing all the updates so some people will get rootable boxes and some won't. At least that is what I was told by more than one person that works there that I personally know, and I'll believe them before I beleve some crackpot that thinks he has decoded which can be rooted by looking at the serial number. I live less than 40 miutes away from Amazon in Lexington KY and its not uncommon to know a few people that work or have worked for Amazon. So I am beyond positive they are right about why some boxes are rootable and some are not, since they are on the inside, so they seem 100% more legit then a crackpot. Especially when different people, that actually work there, have told me the same exact way that they update fire tv boxes and why some boxes do not get updated.
[Fire TV General] ashsha7877:
Sure it will not always worked but the decoder is just guide not 100% guaranteed but if you get one of those serial number, you have better chances that it will have root able firmware but you wont know until you actually see what is actually installed on the box

Personally, i am just thankful someone took time out to put the guide out there for free.

However, if someone is in the market i would still try to buy a box with one of those serial number. I bought 2 and they both were root able.

thank you

You are totally out of line calling AFTVNews a crackpot after all he has done for the FireTV community. I remember your name from the i717 forums and you were negative there too. Please don't bring it here. We have a great community of respectful and helpful individuals.

[Fire TV General] Oddball644:

Take your negativity else where. AFTVNews put a lot of time and effort into the decoder and everything else they do. Sure nothing is 100% but something is better than just a 'Crap Shoot' on it's own.
[Fire TV General] patt2k:
I actually just checked the serial number on aftvnews just because I was curious... but my fire tv was indeed used so I am going soon to exchange it (staples said I can do it there)

Update: store didn't have it in stock staples already sent me Return label (told me to ignore it lol ok)

have to go another store soon. Apparently they have 2-3 in stock.

[Fire TV General] porkenhimer:
The truth is only negative when someone cannot handle it. That is not my fault. When someone does something and says it is fact, but then states that it is not 100% confirmed for every device, then its not factual, period. I am beyond positive that his crackpot method is beyond flawed. Sorry if you cannot handle me saying it.
[Fire TV General] pbanj:
It even says on his site that its not 100%. And you can't believe what someone who works at a place says either. Unless they actually work doing wat they are saying then they could be full of ****. People like to make up **** for the departments/sections at their job that they don't do them selves and then it spreads to other people until people think its fact. I use to deal with that type of **** all the time.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daffie:
I assume not, but thought I'd ask to make sure.

I use ExDialer as replacement but of course whenever making a call or a call is incoming then the stock dialer will be used, never a 3rd party dialer like ExDialer.

I believe somehow only the Contacts apk is replaced by a 3rd party dialer, and the dialer itself will always remain stock.

So I suppose there's no option to completely replace the stock dialer with a 3rd party dialer? Can anyone confirm this, or even better maybe when it is possible, point me to a solution.

Many thanks in advance.

All current 3rd party dialers use the stock samsung dialer UI when making a call or receiving.

You only have the option to select skype or the stock phone app when choosing the default dialer to make calls.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wudien:
Recently, when I would reboot my phone, or battery pull, or anything that turns the phone off, it will not have service, nor detect a sim when it turns back on. A new sim card didnt help. wipe cache/dalvik/ flashed new rom did not help.

It seems to boot into airplane mode and never come out of it. I have created tasker toggles with secure settings to forcefully turn airplane mode on and off, but 'no service' still shows in my notification bar, both with airplane mode on and off.

After using tasker+secure setting and leaving the phone off for whole day I got service back, and made a phone call. When I rebooted again the problem came back.

is there a boot script or xml i can edit to ensure airplane mode is not on at boot? The phone seems really confused as to whether it is on airplane mode or not.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robsa:
Okay, so I'm running lollipop on my galaxy S5 and after connecting my bluetooth headphones it asked me if I wanted to add them as trusted?

So, as I trust them, I said yes.

After that, whenever I locked my phone using the fingerprint lock I would instead get a swipe lock screen instead. Swiping it would then take me to my normal fingerprint lock screen.

So, instead of one lockscreen I would have to unlock two!

What the hell is the point of that?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitelampe:
]Hey guys,

I'm owning the Galaxy Ace S5830 and about two years ago I used to change the ROM and Kernel frequently.

Then I lost my phone and I didn't have a Galaxy Ace for almost two years.

I sure in those 2 years there changed a lot here, so my question is, if you could recommend a suitable ROM and Kernel for me. That would safe lots of time for me.

Right now I'm using Android 2.3.6. rooted and LinktoSD with an ext2-partition.

All I want is a stable ROM that is faster than the current one and better in battery lifetime. I do not play any video games on my phone. I just use it to get information about the next train/bus/tube connections in my city, to organize me, to take photos on parties and to watch videos on YouTube sometimes.

I would be very nice if you could help me!

Kind regards

Hello,

I have newbie question which should be pretty quick to answer...

I have a Cingular 8525 with the stock 1.34.502.1 Cingular ROM.

I've unhidden and mounted the Extended ROM using htweakc 2.0

Now for the newbie question...

What happens to the Extended ROM if I upgrade to WM6?

Do the contents of the Extended ROM get deleted and partition stays intact?

Does the Extended ROM partition get deleted completely?

I've read the threads and guides on upgrading to WM6 but I didn't find any info related to the outcome of the Extended ROM.

Cheers to all :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MWillis561:
Stays

From what I've seen the extended ROM stays completely intact. I've loaded my different WM6 ROM's and my extended ROM has stayed the same. Just make sure if you load LVSW's rom that you get the one with just the OS. His official release is the full package which will erase and replace your Ext ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
As the post above says your ext rom will stay intact.

How to flash:

WM6 XDA-Live 0.20.x

WM6 LVSW (26/3/07)

WM6 Black v1.2

Follow the guides you will be fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joel32137:
Thanks for the info MWillis561 and mrvanx :)

At least I know what to expect when I upgrade WM6 (hopefully this weekend).

Thanks again :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] simon1219:
mrvanx you may want to update your guide the differences between flashing OS only and OS & Extrom.

Thanks for your wonderful quide for newbie like me
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] LegolasTheElf:
Sorry, that's just not true.

Extrom on LVSW will be wiped and replaced with the content of the .nbh; documents and/or important information needs to be backed up first.

Other rom upgrades on here may or may not have an Extrom component.

LVSW does have an Extrom component.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joel32137:
Hi LegolasTheElf,

I was going to use the LVSW version....

Quick question, does the structure of the Extended ROM partition change (meaning, the total Extended ROM size get larger or smaller? does the partition get deleted and created again?)

or

does the partition stay intact and the contents of the partition merely gets deleted and replaced with the LVSW Extended ROM contents?

Appreciate the advice :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joel32137:
Today, I answered my own question....

I finally installed LVSW WM6 and it looks like the Extended ROM partition is intact with no changes in size but the contents does get deleted and is replaced with the LVSW WM6 Extended ROM contents.

MPOW Knight 4.0 Bluetooth Headset Review

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PW3B4LO $36.99

Sleek and Modern BT Headset with all the bells and whistles!

Most of my unboxing comments are included in the video, but in the video I did not have the opportunity to fully use this BT Headset, so I thought I would provide an update of my experience.

This headset was very easy to pair with my Galaxy Note 4. In fact you get a "voice" in your ear (yes, a real voice) that tells you when it pairs! I thought that was very cool. You can also use your voice to dial via the headset. You hit the "MFB" (multi function button) and you are voice guided into making a call. You really do not need to look at the phones screen to do so. You can also just say, "Dial 555-222-3333" and the phone will call.

The sound quality is very, very good! The calls that I conducted the caller sounded great, and they said I sounded good as well.

As I mention in the video, this headset looks really sleek. It is all plastic, with a metallic glossy look. I do like that is has a small extended boom mike that I think improves how you sound to a caller.

In the box there is one Micro USB cable. There are two options... 1) You can plugin the power to the cradle, and place the headset into the cradle. This will start the recharge process. In this configuration, you can also attach the cradle to your cars A/C vent, and when you get a call, you can pickup the headset from the cradle, and when you do that, the headset will answer the call for you! Just place in your ear and talk. 2) Just plugin the power directly into the headset and recharge it. You really do not need the cradle for this device to work.

You can stream audio, and control the tracks via the sound controls.

In the box there are (3) silicon ear pieces of different sizes, and a hard plastic loop to better hold the headset to your ear. There is an instruction book, and a Micro USB cable. Build quality is outstanding. I really like this device.
