[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyder:
It actually was free on the Amazon App store. Was on it for at least 3-4 months, since I got my AFTV in Aug I think, till recently. Which is why I paid for it on Google Play, thinking it was going to work with the gaming controller, since the one I had from Amazon App Store did. This is why I'm asking if anyone has the apk for it. I had it installed till recently when I did a fresh install for the HD I got for my AFTV.

It would be nice to be able to actually play the game I purchased.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkenhimer:
It was not free, cause I just bought it a bout two weeks ago after getting fiinished with Shadowgun.

---------- Post added at 04:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 AM ----------

As we speak Modern Combat 3 is $4.99 on amazon and Modern Combat 4 is $6.99, so why would they make Modern Combat 5 free? Makes no sense. It wasn't free when i purchased it around two weeks ago.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyder:
You seem to be lost here.

Go to your Amazon account, look up You Apps & Devices and try to find Modern Combat 5. You will NOT. As I stated, it got pulled from the Amazon App Store. It didn't cost on the Amazon App Store, it was free. It was there for at least 3 months that I know of. That being said, I did NOT have a problem buying it from the google play store, I am more then willing to share a screenshot of what apps I have purchased from the google play store, with it being the last one I bought, on 1-13-2015.

The problem is, the MC5 from Google Play store doesn't work with the Amazon Game Controller. The one that was on Amazon App Store did. This is why I am asking if anyone has the apk for it, so I can play my purchased content with my game controller.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyder:
How much is Amazon selling Modern Combat 5 for? Can you find it? You claimed you bought it 2 weeks ago, so why isn't it listed?

Oh, you don't listen? Ya, I see that. reread my posts when you're sober.

Anyways, I figured out the problem I'm having with my PAID google store version, I needed to pull my bluetooth keyboard dongle out. For various reasons it take precedence over the gamepad. I didn't have the keyboard when I played it last.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbracht:
I'm confused? They all cost money.. Maybe try using Google and see if you can find it?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkenhimer:
I never said they were selling it at the moment, I said when they were selling it that it was never free. Its not an amazon at the moment, but that could be a glitch, cause I have seen other apps disappear too then return days later.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyder:
Well, I have no idea anymore. I am positive that it was showing up in the games section on the AFTV, for free, for at least 3 months, like Aug-Nov of 2014. Which I thought was weird at the time because MC4 cost money. I thought MC5 maybe made money from in app purchases. I didn't play the game too far, just enough to know that I did like it would spend time on it at some point.

And I thought the google play version wasn't working with my gamepad, but that isn't the case, so everything works out (cept for having to unplug my keyboard).
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdeiro:
How did you get the Play Store version to work? Do you have Google Services installed?

I've installed it with AGK Fire, but the game wouldn't even start due to the lack of Googleness.

Thanks, but I can't root, my firmware is unrootable.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyder:
Then you need to pester amazon to allow the google services to be included in an update.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will4958:
In regards to the Google Play version of Modern Combat 5 Blackout, it is currently being offered free on Google Play. I installed it on my Tab 3 8.0 only after seeing in the Play store while picking which apps I wanted to update. The game is playable on the Tab, obviously, but not on my Fire TV. As far as having Google Play services installed, I currently do, and my Fire is rooted. The game loads as it should, and I'm able to press a button on my Nyko Play Pad Pro to skip something in the very beginning of the game, but after that it doesn't respond anymore. I can't even do anything with the mouse except move the gun around.

My text notification will not show up on my Gear 2 watch anymore after the new firmware. What setting do I have to have to set my texts to show up on my watch. I get phone call notification on it.
[Samsung Gear 2] AntwonJenkins:
I've had the same problem. SaProviders stops all the time too and drains the crap out my battery if I don't trick it into restarting again.

When SaProviders stops I kill the app completely then open the Gear app, go into settings, and select the reply template option for my messages which seems to kick SaProviders into gear again usually without a force close. Unless I move out of range of my phone which definitely messes the connection up even when it reconnects and then I have to manually to the trick just mentioned.
[Samsung Gear 2] mroien:
Which of the many samsung apps are you killing? The default Samsung gear app? And how are you killing it without a force close? I get the Saprovider warning after a reboot so no apps are in my recent apps. I went and force closed the main Samsung Gear app and then went into settings and under the Language and Input I tried to click either "Text input methods" or "Edit text templates" and the "Unfortunately, saprovider has stopped" Do you know any other methods to get into the templates or how to close the Samsung Gear app or should I close other gears apps like, gear plugin, gearModule, goproviders, HostManager, Samsung Accessory Service, SASystemProviders, Update gear software. Thanks for the help.

To kill the app I just use the built in Task Manager on the Note 3 and just hit the Clear Memory button under the RAM tab.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spencerprice:
I have a new verizon Note 4. It's been a great phone with very few problems until recently. I can't turn off the GPS. I'm not talking about GPS running in the background of applications. I'm talking about in the Location settings I can't turn off the GPS. I slide the switch to the off position and it jumps right back to on. There's nothing I can do. I've taken the battery out, force stopped all the applications that access my GPS, and cleared my cache in the safe boot settings. Does anyone know why this is? Under "Locating Method" I can't change it to anything but "GPS only". Power Saving is grayed out and High accuracy will allow me to select it, but when I go back into settings it is back to GPS only. This isn't a huge problem, but it's concerning me that I can't decide when I want to have the GPS network disabled or not to save my battery.

You may end up having to do a factory reset. You could try downloading a toggle app and use it to try to turn off GPS.

download the HTC Sync software and try doing a manual update. or you can just wait until the OTA gets pushed.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
AT&T canceled the KitKat OTA because it was messed up. Not sure on the details, but I believe battery life was significantly worse.

Personally, I dumped AT&T's image and switched to the Developer Edition, and I've never looked back. However, if I needed to run AT&T's crap, I'd avoid their KitKat OTA and pray that they finally get around to releasing a Lollipop OTA instead.

[Xperia Z1 General] naitik2012:
Hi All ,

i have seen that so many users are complaining about brightness issue in CM12 ... like it gets lower by its own and then starts flickering ..

i was facing same issue when my phone becomes HOT (50-55+ TEMP) my screen brightness starts getting lower by its own (adaptive brightness off) so i edited below lines in themalmanger.xml

just go to system > etc > thermalmanager.xml and edit

<control name="backlight">

<mitigation level="off"><value resource="backlight">255</value></mitigation>

<mitigation level="1"><value resource="backlight">255</value></mitigation>

<mitigation level="2"><value resource="backlight">255</value></mitigation>

<mitigation level="3"><value resource="backlight">255</value></mitigation>

<mitigation level="4"><value resource="backlight">255</value></mitigation>

</control>

change every value to 255 (max) so that screen wont get dim when phone is hot ....

or just simply delete below lines CAREFULLY ..

<!-- backlight -->

<configuration sensor="temp-emmc">

<threshold>

<mitigation name="backlight" level="off" />

</threshold>

<threshold trigger="424" clear="412">

<mitigation name="backlight" level="1" />

</threshold>

<threshold trigger="440" clear="428">

<mitigation name="backlight" level="2" />

</threshold>

<threshold trigger="456" clear="444">

<mitigation name="backlight" level="3" />

</threshold>

<threshold trigger="464" clear="452">

<mitigation name="backlight" level="4" />

</threshold>

</configuration>

i advice you to learn (study) about thermalmanager.xml carefully ... its so interesting ..... you can solve out most of the issues like slow charging and others ...

i only edited backlight value because when phone is hot my brightness decrease on its own ( may be thermal threshold trigger) but now i dont have any issues.....

i dont noe why google has implemented thermal threshold for brightness ...

REBOOT IS NECESSARY AFTER EDITING ABOVE LINES...

DO IT VERY CAREFULLY... M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE EXPLODE OR ANYTHING WRONG HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE .. THIS METHOD HAS SOLVED MY BRIGHTNESS ISSUE

i need some experienced member to confirm if above methods has solved ur issue or not ... because m sure that those who tried this had done something wrong ..

m using this method from cdroid 16-1-2015 and 19-1-2015 works in both ROM ....

Forgive me for my English :p

Regards

Naitik..

here is my thermalmanager file View attachment 3129838 change extension to xml from txt (cant upload xml file )
[Xperia Z1 General] naitik2012:
Let me explain more

Issue :

Brightness decrease on its own when phone becomes hot and start flickering at lowest brightness ..

How ? :

at certain temp it start to reduce on its own because of thermalmanger.xml

check this

<configuration sensor="temp-emmc">

<threshold>

<mitigation name="backlight" level="off" />

means no thermal trigger

now

<threshold trigger="424" clear="412">

<mitigation name="backlight" level="1" />

means your phone reach to certain temp (424 donno how much temp and how its calculated from temp-emmc) and hence your brightness is reduce to level 1 which is 192 (i think) means it will automatically change your max brightness to 192 from 255 , file found in sys/class/leds/wled:backlight (if i remember right :p)

clear="412" means your brightness will back to 255 when temp reached to certain level (412 donno how much temp and how its calculated from temp-emmc)

same explanation for below lines

<threshold trigger="440" clear="428">

<mitigation name="backlight" level="2" />

</threshold>

<threshold trigger="456" clear="444">

<mitigation name="backlight" level="3" />

</threshold>

<threshold trigger="464" clear="452">

<mitigation name="backlight" level="4" />

</threshold>

</configuration>

How to solve this ? :

either change all brightness lvl to 255 or delete below lines

<!-- backlight -->

<configuration sensor="temp-emmc">

<threshold>

<mitigation name="backlight" level="off" />

</threshold>

<threshold trigger="424" clear="412">

<mitigation name="backlight" level="1" />

</threshold>

<threshold trigger="440" clear="428">

<mitigation name="backlight" level="2" />

</threshold>

<threshold trigger="456" clear="444">

<mitigation name="backlight" level="3" />

</threshold>

<threshold trigger="464" clear="452">

<mitigation name="backlight" level="4" />

</threshold>

</configuration>

What i did ? :

first changed brightness lvl to 255 and my issue solved but after that i also tried deleting above lines to check if phone goes in to bootloop :p but no !! i booted successfully so u can simply say that m using both methods :p .... event on new crdroid 19-01-2015 first i edited brightness lvl to 255 and then deleted above lines after that i flashed ROM and phone was working without any brightness issues .......

This is what all i can say ..

Thanks :)

[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
caution

You are treating symptoms instead of causes: brightness goes down when your phone overheats to prevent further overheating and hardware damage. By messing with thermanager values, you are removing this protection without addressing the main cause - overheating. This is like disabling red light in your car indicating your engine is overheating...

Edit: And by the way, level 1, 2, 3 and on mitigation means first level of action (when certain event occurs), next level when the event (temperature) intensifies (increases) and on. No mitigation means, no limit on screen brightness the maximum of which is 255. When the temperature increases to a certain level, 1st level kicks in and brightness decreases to 192 and on. So, when you put all values at 255, that means you are disabling mitigation of heating. If mitigation is related to screen flickering, you might want to tinker with trigger values: for example, if the first level of mitigation kicks in at 55 degrees, that's probably incorrect as 55 is a pretty normal temperature. So, when your device is active and temperature jumps between 55 and 56 (which is normal), then you will have flickering because triggering temp is to low. But to completely cancel thermanager by setting values to 255 is exposing your hardware to early death risk...
[Xperia Z1 General] naitik2012:
if it is that risky then why brightness throttling was not available on kitkat ?

Thanks :)
[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
For 2 reasons: lollipop causes more overheating; and thermal management is in kitkat kernels too, just the implementation is different.
[Xperia Z1 General] araemo:
It wasn't in the kernels. Originally, CM used the same thermal manager that the stock ROM used, but it was a closed-source binary grabbed from the stock rom. Thermanager is an open-source replacement, so it may take time to tweak...

However, as of mid-may, we had it 'tweaked' to the same values that the stock manager used, so it should be behaving the same as stock at this point.
[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
My concern was not about stock or cm thermanager values, but rather the fact that the OP manually set all values for backlight to 255 on all mitigation levels, which disables thermanager. In other words, no matter the temperature, back light is not limited, which is dangerous...
[Xperia Z1 General] araemo:
I'm not arguing with that part at all. I said much the same in this or the CM12 thread earlier. This thread is a BAD way to fix things. It's like removing the brakes of your car because they keep slowing it down. ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] naitik2012:
i had used kitkat (CM11) almost 3 years and never faced such issues like this... kitkat doesn't have any type of brightness throttling.. it was introduced on lollipop and it is as useless as "ueue" in "queue " .... anyway tell whatever you want m gonna use this modification (already using it from first CM12 build) but for all others , if this modification is really harmful for hardware then i request [MENTION=2154886]moderator[/MENTION] to delete/close this thread please..

Thanks :)
[Xperia Z1 General] araemo:
Given that I copied the brightness mitigation levels out of STOCK KITKAT.. yes, kitkat had brightness 'throttling'. Whether or not you experienced it in a different ROM (CM11 vs CM12) is a different question. (And I didn't go back and look if CM11 had it, but stock kitkat had it for sure.)
[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
Kitkat has thermal settings in /system/etc/sysmon.cfg and the main switch (on/off thermal throttling) in kernel accessible from Performance Control, Trickster Mod, Terminal and others..

Having your CPU working at 75-80 degrees most of the time with shields down will result in early death and more importantly, that will kill the battery in a matter of a few months. By the way, overheating in Lollipop could be the reason the battery is getting 150-200 ma of charging instead of 1500-1800..
