[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nednednerb:
Hmmm. I wonder about how Smart Keyboard Pro works its "calibration"... and then I wonder why without fail, switching keyboard is letting me navigate the text field better.

Something in the story you give is missing perhaps. Text correction for instance indicates going "into" the text field...

I notice the little handle to drag the cursor also feels way less buggy. I was having trouble even grabbing the handle in Google Keyboard. It also looks like a different handle.

Maybe things have changed from KitKat to Lollipop....perhaps somehow related to not being able to use any alternative IME if the default IME was removed. I saw others complaining about that. Some input method functions that were "deeper than the IME apk" are now placed differently...

I am not a dev though and wouldn't know where to begin to look in version manifest to see this described.

It makes sense a keyboard app dev would try to make entry work better if they COULD somehow fool the screen to better "read my mind" which is totally the aim of Smart Keyboard Pro's calibration function.

Not saying you're wrong exactly, but curious because I'm always learning and enjoy understanding and my test has seemed to work in my favour!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
The only thing a keyboard app can "calibrate for accuracy" is on the keyboard view itself, not the text field. Both the text cursor and text field are 100% handled by the system and in some cases the app you're typing in, never the IME application.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nednednerb:
Okay, thanks.. hmm. What kind of system features may be responsible for precision?

There are "responsiveness" differences between kernels and ROM combos... but assuming I like my ROM and kernel, what kind of potential tweaks to settings might make the touch screen more snappy and stable for text editing?

I notice thermal throttling when using phone when charging definitely worsens ability to type. Way more lag.. for example, cursor will jump around. Key presses will hang.

Thank you [MENTION=5666997]Lethargy[/MENTION] for your time spent thinking.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
I don't know what you mean here. It uses InputMethodManager/InputMethodService, and text fields are managed by TextView.

ROMs have no influence unless one has a terribly written feature which lags the entire thing. Kernels don't affect anything themselves either - the kernel settings do, which are also user tunable anyways (default settings on a kernel are usually just what the builder prefers themselves). Neither have anything to do with text cursor placement accuracy, and no ROM should be messing with how the IME works anyways as it'll cause problems for more people than solve.

And there isn't anything you can do to make it more accurate other than physically (via using a stylus or having smaller fingers), since each touch is registered on an individual pixel, not the entire surface area being touched.

Not necessarily thermal throttle. An IME will run fine on a Nexus 5 even if you underclock to 1GHz. More likely its just your CPU usage being high and the IME isn't as high a priority as what is keeping up lets say 75% of your CPU.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nednednerb:
So perhaps I might have less lag if I overclocked a bit? I guess that is obvious...

Do you know of not too invasive methods of altering the IME priority or tweaking the touch responsiveness in general?

Also, I am being more careful about my large thumb's "one pixel" touch point, and I am noticing an improvement already.... although I had already switched back to the 3rd party keyboard which seemed to help right away with input accuracy.

I also found a google android issue with 51 stars regarding generally buggy input issues in the Nexus 5 on Lollipop... so I am not too crazy about noting my issue perhaps!

Thanks for your help in understanding IME, [MENTION=5666997]Lethargy[/MENTION].
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Overclocking might not help that much, and I don't know of an easy way to force priority.

I don't have such issues with any sort of IME, so it's likely a per-user issue rather than affecting everybody. I also use the AOSP and Google keyboard.

Does anyone else have issues with the camera consistently auto focusing when recording video? It makes this constant clicking noise when recording. It's really bad on Snapchat. It doesn't even record for the full ten seconds or whatever... This seems to happen on every CM ROM that I have ever used...Is it just me, or does it happen to others?

This happened to me when I went to my daughters Christmas Play and recorded it at the time I didn't know but when I got home and watched the video I seen that the video was ruined from it auto focusing so much :(

So I started digging around in the settings of both the camera and video recorder to see if I could fix it I only had to change 2 settings to get it to work right

1st I went into camera settings and changed Focus Mode mine was set to Continuous by default so I changed it to Auto

2nd I went into video settings and in there is a setting for Video stabilization it was unchecked so I checked it and that's it

Now all my videos are great :) try these settings out and see if they work for you I hope they do because they worked for me
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJames609:
So, I've been trying to root my Galaxy s5 for a while now and I just got it to work successfully a few hours ago. With that, I installed CWM and everything was fine.

Now, I downloaded the latest nightly of CM12 for the S5 and I threw it on my SD card and ran my phone with the up volume home and power thing, selected the zip and it's now looping. It's been looping for maybe 25-30 minutes. It stopped and said it was upgrading apps for optimization, rebooted and is now stuck on the loading screen for CM12.

I literally know nothing about CM12 or rooting or any of it, I just successfully did it today, so I'm extremely new and know nothing. I didn't factory restore my device, I didn't do anything fancy like that, the tutorial didn't say that I needed to, I just selected it and installed and rebooted.

I tried taking the battery out, and it's still doing the same thing.

Any help is appreciated.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pickens:
Was there a recent update to netflix on the FireTV? All of a sudden, whenever the next video is autoplayed in a tv series, the video stays shrunken in the top left corner of the screen. The only way to get it to go back is to exit netflix and reopen. If it tries to autoplay another though, it does it again. Like I said, recent problem. Last day or so.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pickens:
Note this is happening on both a FireTV and a FireTV Stick. That's why I thought it might have been an app problem.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
Wow! Well I'm glad I'm not alone. It happened to me for the first time earlier tonite.

Last nite I put playstore on this aftv and the install involved uninstalling/reinstalling a few times due to white space issues on Google apps and the playstore version needed to be updated. A couple of times I lost internet connectivity-had to unplug & replug the ethernet. But I got playstore working.

Probably more info than you needed but I'm glad it looks like a bug and not something I brought on...No. it's possible, but I'm unaware of a Netflix update though one is needed on aftv. It's not just me complaining about the "unable to play video" errors.

This box is hands down the best hardware I own out of all my streamers, but fire os seems to make it the least stable and that includes the original Sony Google TV.

Btw--since rebooting I haven't seen the tiny screen.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TornSack:
+1 on this problem. Clearing cache and/or rebooting fixes temporarily. Can't find any settings on Netflix.com or in the FireTV Netflix app that change the behavior. Anyone else have an idea?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pickens:
Tiny screen doesnt happen unless it autoplays. Stopping and starting manually seems to avoid the problem.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TornSack:
Agreed, the workaround is to disable autoplay on the Netflix website.

I agree this works for adult profiles, but there doesn't seem to be an option to disable it on a Kids profile because you don't have the same settings menu when logged into that profile. Maybe I'm missing it.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewb0y:
Same issue on mine with whatever version of the netflix app that comes with the prerooted 51.1.4.1_514013920 rom. Is this happening on the newer software version as well?

And of course it's occurring in the kids profile which causes a lot of "Daddy can you come fix the TV?" requests.

I didn't even know you could turn off autoplay in the settings on the website until just now.

Another question would be if any one has seen the same issue in the android version of Netflix as opposed to the Fire TV version.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewb0y:
So I talked with Netflix support today and they said there was no way they could turn off autoplay on a kids profile, but they would submit it as a feature request.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pickens:
Did you happen to talk to them about the small screen bug? I personally like the autoplay feature better. Wouldn't be bad to have the option though.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewb0y:
I did. They were unaware of the issue. I told them that turning off Autoplay fixes it but that there was no way to change that for a kids profile. So if they didn't know about it before, they do now.

I'm still wondering if anyone is having this problem on the newer rom version or if it's just the latest prerooted rom.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pickens:
I can answer that. Neither of my machines are rooted and both are on the latest software.

Disabling autoplay In kids profile

I was able to disable autoplay in a Kids profile from the website.

Step 1: Login to Netflix master account

Step 2: Select "Manage Profiles" from drop down menu on top right

Step 3: Edit the Kids account, then uncheck "Kids 12 & Under" and select "Done"

Step 4: Switch to the Kids profile by selecting it from the drop down on the right

Step 5: Select "Your Account" from the drop down on the right

Step 6: Select "Playback Settings" under the "My Profile" Section

Step 7: Uncheck "Play next episode automatically" and then "Save"

Step 8: Select Manage profiles again from the drop down on the right

Step 9: Edit the kids profile and check "Kids 12 & Under" again and then select "Done"

Step 10: Switch back to Master profile, log out and test.

It's a lot of steps, but it works. Did this on mine and the kids profile kept the no autoplay setting.

No more video in a little box in the corner so far :)

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yojaronimo:
My screen has been shattered but still functional for months now, but the phone finally gave up on me. The phone currently does the following

I took the battery out and put back in. I try starting the phone and the at&t tune plays as usual, as well as the notification LED fading from light blue to dark blue over and over and the two touch keys light up but the screen never comes on or lights anything at all. Also, the blue notification LED continues to fade in and out and the touch keys stay lit up as if the phone is constantly trying to boot.

I plug it into my laptop but it does not appear in the device and drive folder. One thing I did discover is that when I open up Computer Management (Windows 8) and go to the Device Manager tab, and then the Portable Devices tab and it does appear as "samsung mobile mtp device". So I know the phone is making connection with the computer and vice versa but I need help trying to copy all the data to my laptop. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnirtS:
Im using a D855 LG G3 running the bumped v20F stock firmware (see the android dev thread) with no issues except this one...

Im currently in singapore using a SIM card that supports 4G on a network that has good 4G coverage (M1) but i simply cannot get LTE/4G to work at all.

Ive tried the WCDMA/LTE/GSM/Auto in mobile settings and it always without fail sticks on "H". Via the hidden menu i select "LTE Only" and i get no data connection icon (or data) at all.

Searching the mobile networks ive tried manually selecting the M1 advertising as LTE on the list but the same thing - it defaults to "H" and wont shift off there.

The APN im using is the one advertised by M1 for 3G and 4G coverage.

I dont think this is a ROM problem hence posting it here but ive got no idea how to solve it. Anyone got any ideas what else i can do/change or check ?

Other than rooted, the stock ROM is not modified or customised in any way - it was a factory reset, clean install.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PensFan66:
So my FTV came in today (it was free from Giggle points... but still) - Of course, having been around Android for years and always rooting I had to look into it.

It seemed it didn't have new FW until my wife took iota upon herself to set it up and it received the newest update (Wife is an IT person as well - but not interested in hacking devices...)

So I figured, no problem - I'll use the emmc method - I ordered my adapter, but while I waited I thought I would solder up my pins, which is no issue - Soldering is easy.

All points are good, so I figured I would check it out to make sure it still powered up and booted - and low and behold, I'm stuck at the Amazon FireTV logo screen . (and the white led pulsates a bit...). The point where the resister is, I did decoder the entire resistor, so I soldered a wire on the other side and connected it to the other side. Still no luck...

Is there anything I should look at? All solder points are good .... No shorts or anything like that.....

** Edit ** I knew I needed a new solder tip - so now I think I have no more pad on the Resistor point closest to the chip - Usually the Resistors have another connection,. Does anyone know where it connects to as an alternate solder point?

Thanks for any ideas...
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derpeter:
Not sure if i got you right, you accedently removed the pad from the PCB?. In that case it is a very importent question which one. As long as you the the firetv booting there is still a clock and and you probably just need to remove the wires you connected as they work as antennas and will confuse the signals on the busses.

If you rely lost the pad (and the firetv isn't booting at all, no blinky led no amazon logo on tv) and it depends which pad is gone. The one where the wiki tells you to solder the clock wire to or the closer to the cpu. Its unlikly that there is another pad between this one and the cpu. You may need to scratch VERY CAREFULLY some of the PCB top away to connect to the wire that lead to the lost pad.

Can you add a picture?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PensFan66:
Thanks for the reply....

I toyed around with it last night a bit, and the boot lock must have been caused by that pad and the little connection I had - It would boot to that point but not anywhere past that. Like you said, if its not connected at all the FTV just sits there with no power.

So I can make a connection and currently my FTV works but I have put solder between the two pads. My concern is when IO get my eMMC reader, I need to remove that solder and if this is the last time I can do it (In case I lose what connection I have there) - I was hoping for a backup plan.

I thought about the trace on the PCB, but I don't see one from that Resistor - its odd, not on either side of the PCB - I wasn't sure, but doubted, it may have more than two layers?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PensFan66:
I think I have it --- So around the same area there are 4 resistors, and I can see the traces for 3 of them, they go to a capacitor near the CPU. So I logically figured the same for the resistor I no longer have a pad for - In a meter, they theory is correct - so the resistors go to the Capacitor. If I need to, I should be able to go furthest solder pad for the resistor to the capacitor side... With any luck, I can avoid it - but I like a plan B....

I just tried your program... I made a call... on my phone, the time was 19:15... but the calendar entry is for 20:15-20:16.

And when I sync with my exchange server and run the tzmove utility on my desktop computer just to make sure that all timezone are ok in my calendar, the calendar entry for my call still says 20:15-20:16

I tried the "original" CallCallendar found with a search on google (first link on search page)... this program works fine... there is a recent fix for incorrect time...

The calendar entry gets created in zulu time, then I calculate the difference between zulu time and the local time on the ppc and subtract or add the difference.
