Is that newer then the one from the morning? I tried to do last time dirty flash not working can I do it now?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] PWn3R:
I don't know I didn't dirty flash the one from this morning - I wipe every time, and I've made some pretty big changes that might require that. I would recommend wiping. Also, the new version should have the quick tiles fixed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ohad129:
It's only those tiles ? I don't mind if it's other thing too please let me know this clean flash killing me ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] PWn3R:
Everything else is upstream changes. You could also try flashing the newest one over the top of yesterdays build, I don't know if it will work.

Thanks,what gapps did you use?

I installed Blue Mail and all is well. I am getting popups that Gmail has stopped-

I used the open-gapps-arm-mini
[Nexus 6 Android Development] PWn3R:
Yesterday I clean flashed twice. Once with Open GAPPS full and another time with Slim GAPPS as recommended by someone else. Both worked fine, and I did get several emails and the popups worked fine. I even spent some time replying to a couple of them. You could try force stopping gmail and then disable it, then wipe the data for the app and enable it again. It will have to resync, but it might stop the FCs you are getting.

i was wondering, what if i got a USB harddrive, and plugged it into my hermes?

would WM6 even notice its there?

this is assuming i've got a externally powered HDD that uses the normal USBHOST.

i searched "usb harddrive" in the hermes forums and not many things turned up..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
If you have one lying around, give it a go?!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
that might be the clue to your answer..... the usb port in the phone lacks the capability to host an actual usb device, whether the external device is powered or not... But give it a go anyway... i cant think of any harm in trying... unless there is some kind of major power backflow, but that shouldnt happen unless your external device is faulty :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] alfred_jp:
the OS may support it, but hardware-wise - i dont think the Hermes supports USB hosting? or does it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Centurion:
My brain says no...

But the hope in me says yes...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] 4Site:
Wondered about this myself before.

Doesnt the HTC have the ability to act as an external UsB drive through the USB port when connected to a PC using the Advanced USB settings. Maybe its just a question of reversing the settings maybe with an added utility or something i have an external hard drive but not converter to convert the full usb to a mini usb
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
having the device mimmick and external drive and plugging in external storage through USB are 2 completly different things... and it all comes down to the USB host... when you plug your phone into your pc your computer then is able to act as a usb host, as it has the power and the drivers necessary for that... the phone itself lacks the abiltiy to be able to become a usb host...

but hey, at least your thinking :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
So it may be possible to access a USB HDD if we catered for it using a driver of some sort (written by us guys ofcourse). This may even show up in the file manager as something like /Hard_Drive.?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sinmae:
main procesor (and also OS itself) have support for USB host, but for some reason HTS decide to not enable this feature, it was asked many times, but solution doesnt exist yet... I used this functionallity on my old Fujitsu-Siemens LOOX n500 without necesity to install any drivers, or registry hack, after connection device had available after few second. It was WM5 device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] JamesHolden:
well think about this:

keep a laptop usb HDD in your car, 160GB of music at your command, with TCPMP who needs a ipod?

i've already modded my stock headset cable to have a 1/8" miniplug AND RCA's on it, so i'm set for the output, but my 4GB of microsd cards just don't cut it

so i'm working on tryin' to find a usb mini b male to usb b male cable right now, might just have to solder one up myself-- i'll post to see how it goes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chymmylt:
I think I've seen them for sale at Radioshack and Compusa - might try peaking in there though if you have a bunch of USB cables kicking around probably cheaper to solder
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
IF you look around on the net somewhere, someone successfully made a wifi hard drive, and i think it was fairly inexpensive... He loaded tons of mp3's and would access them from his phone via wifi.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssbmg:
Sorry but I'm a total rookie here. I first started screwing around with my stock Nexus 6 by rooting. Then somehow I ended up with TWRP installed (or whatever) on my phone. Today I received notification that 5.0.1 OTA was available and when I click install it just went into TWRP and wouldn't let me install the update. For some reason I messed with TWRP and erased everything. Now I'm stuck with a brick.

Oh an to boot I can't get Android SDK running on my computer because of JVM or something.

Can anyone help? I just want to go back to out of the box stock and start over if that's possible. No TWRP or rooting necessary for me after this episode.

Thanks so much in advance for the assistance (please use small words and short sentences). Yes, I've tried searching like crazy and can't find anything that just step by step instructs me how to get back to stock.

Scratches are unavoidable on these edges and Samsung has acknowledged this on their blog,

There really is nothing you can do about it; the scratches are already there when you break the seal on the box, to a degree which is usually visible if you look hard enough. In this case, buy an Otterbox, and enjoy your Device. | fin |

[Galaxy Note 4 General] jpbl1976:
Try using metal polish. I had a few small scratches from a case and they were gone/barely visible after I applied a little metal polish to the chamfered edges. This also worked well for me on my silver/white iPad mini.

Make sure that you tape over the painted portions of your Note 4's frame (white/black/pink/etc depending on your model) before you go to work on the edges -- the painted portions lose their matte finish and turn slightly glossy if you happen to apply metal polish and accidentally buff them.

I don't see a problem. I'm running SPMC. That's probably the biggest space hog, but where is the problem?

One thing I'd like to try is clear out all of the plugins. IS there an easy way to do that without disturning the other settings?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCFish:
Are you using the Zero cache advancedsettings.xml? Looking at your usage, I'm guessing that's the culprit.

Without the Zero cache advancedsettings.xml, XBMC uses the device's RAM for caching videos. But if you use the Zero cache advancedsettings.xml file, it forces all XBMC caching to be done on the hard drive, and ignores RAM. And it will cache the entire video you're watching with no limit on how much hard drive space it uses. So if you start watching an HD movie, and you have a decent internet connection, it's pretty easy to use up all your available hard drive space because it's caching the entire movie to your hard drive as you're watching it. With a decent connection, you'll cache the entire film faster than you're watching it, so you'll run out of hard drive space anytime you watch a video that's of a large file size. That space will be freed up when you quit the video. But if you're watching large HD movies frequently, you can run into this situation all the time, since the AFTV only has ~5GB of usable space in most cases.

This can often be confusing if you don't know how the Zero cache advancedsettings.xml works, because you'll constantly get low space warnings while watching videos, but then when you exit out to check hard drive space, you'll see 2-3GB of free space and wonder why you received the message. The Zero cache advancedsettings.xml file has gotten a nasty undeserved reputation of being a magic fix all for buffering and such. In situations like this it can actually making things worse. I'd only recommend the Zero cache advancedsettings.xml if you have a device with ample hard drive space. And even then, its purpose is to allow you to cache more of the video file, not to cache it faster.

As far as clearing out plugins, I really doubt that is the issue at all. Plugins themselves don't take up any noticeable space. But inside XBMC you can navigate to System\Add-ons\Enabled Addons and see all the plugins that are installed.

Hope that helps.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sizzlechest:
Thank you! Here's the advancedsettings.xml that I've tried:

<advancedsettings>
<network>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize>
<readbufferfactor>10</readbufferfactor>
</network>
</advancedsettings>

I put it in the /sdcard/Android/data/com.semperpax.spmc/files/.xbmc/userdata directory. I force closed spmc, cleared the program's cache, but not the data, and restarted it. I still got the popup. I then pulled the plug and rebooted the Fire TV and so far, so good.

I used the Amazon Fire TV Utility App to set up my Fire TV back when it was at 0.33 and I don't think it supported SPMC. I just upgraded and it looks like it has settings for SPMC. It has some advancedsettings.xml files in there. The first one is the same as the one I posted above.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjbxx:
This is excellent info on why a Zero Cache setting should never be used on a device like the Fire TV with limited hard drive space. Why use the internal hard drive when you can utilize the RAM (2 GB) to buffer a video? Just think of RAM as a free ride and use case to buffer a video.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sizzlechest:
So what settings would you suggest? I ask because the default yields problems on the Fire TV apparently.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjbxx:
From the Kodi Wiki. I modified the "cachemembuffersize" to 471859200 (157286400 X 3) which increases cache size to 450MB and uses 1200MB of total RAM. This setting works great because the Fire TV has 2GB RAM to work with.

3.4 Example 4

A safe setting for most devices with 1GB of RAM that should help most users "on the edge". All protocols get cached, cache rate fills up pretty much as fast as possible, and cache size is 150MB, using 400MB of ram total.

advancedsettings.xml

=================

<advancedsettings>

<network>

<buffermode>1</buffermode>

<cachemembuffersize>157286400</cachemembuffersize> (My Setting: 471859200)

Could it be done?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] weinson:
Since folks have asked enough times ... below is a simple step-by-step to move over to WM6 and keep your Goodlink functioning:

Upgrade from WM5 to WM6 with Goodlink

Before you do anything

, create a backup of your Goodlink application on your SD card (by going to the Goodlink Preferences and choosing "backup" from the list)

Save the backup to your SD card (create and remember a password)

Upgrade to WM6 [see the awesome guides by mrvanx]

Make sure everything is working (including your provider settings for internet connectivity)

Open the backup file that is on your SD Card (called "Restore Goodlink")

It takes a minute or two, will ask for your password, and then start running

You will see Goodlink connect to the net to download all your information

Upgrading from WM6 to WM6

If you are flashing (or re-flashing) a new version of WM6 ... and you already have WM6 on your device working with Goodlink, you do not need to re-create a backup file .. just always go back and restore Goodlink from the backup file you initially created when you upgraded from WM5.

That being said, it seems to work fine if you do re-create a backup file while running WM6 ... you can restore from your newly created backup file too.

Currently known Goodlink and WM6 integration issues

No full integration with the Dialer (choosing "contacts" will take you to outlook contacts, not goodlink contacts)

WM6 Word Completion does not work correctly within Goodlink

I have

not

been able to do a clean install of Goodlink on WM6 yet ... even using one of the BLACK Roms that has been hex-edited. I have tried a few times and had various issues. The "restore backup" option described above, however, always works fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] petraviva:
Thanks very much for this wonderful concise how-to. I was afraid I would need to go to my IT admin the next time I flashed my device. I am running WM6 on a Wizard and wanted to relay my observations on the known issues :

1/ My contacts key has been mapped to Goodlink contacts and the click-to-dial feature within it also fires up the GL handler.

2/ When composing E-Mails I do get word completion

3/ I never had GL installed on WM5. Therefore mine is a clean install on WM6. Worked first time.

GL reports its version as v4.9.3.21_EN. Perhaps mine is newer than the OP

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VERSVCE:
Analogy time!

Let's imagine you were a phone that was used the whole day, and your batteries are down to 2% Let's say that 2% is your subconscious, to run all that extra information that's through your brain, telling you "Hey, you got extra (at 20%) a whole lot of space for new power juice!"

I know it's sounds like a very childish analogy, but I guess this is the best way I could've explained it :eek: :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llothar:
Best information source on batteries:

http://batteryuniversity.com/

The batteries degrade as a function of discharge cycles (where 10 discharges to 90% are roughly the same as one discharege to 0%), time, temperature and charge.

Batteries age slowest when they are at 40%. That's why your out of the box battery is usually 40%, to prolong shelf life.

Batteries age faster the higher the temperature is - adaptive charging increases the temperature while charging more than normal charging, but not by much nor for a long time.

So no need to worry about anything. Charging from 2% is not better than charging from 20%.

Note, their article http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries does not take into account the adaptive charging technology, so the last graph is not really applicable in this case.
