[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCFish:
When streaming video, the bottleneck is almost always with the server you're streaming from. Not your own download speed. Streaming is a two-way street. You can only download as fast as the server at the other end can give you data. So just because your ISP gives you a specific download speed number, that doesn't in any way mean that you'll download from various sites at that speed.

And contrary to popular belief, an advancedsettings.xml file does not increase the speed at which you download video. It simply lets you cache more of the video file, it doesn't let you cache it any faster. For example you'll cache 5 minutes ahead instead of 2 minutes ahead, but it will cache the video at exactly the same speed.

Understand what the video cache settings are actually doing: http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_video_cache

buffermode tells XBMC what to cache, be it internet video or local video or network video or all the above.

cachemembuffersize tells XBMC how much to cache. And importantly, setting it this to zero tells XBMC to only use HD space and ignore RAM. A set value tells it to cache 3X that amount in RAM and does not use HD space.

readbufferfactor tells XBMC how much of your own local bandwidth to attempt to request in filling the cache. It's meant to be used to throttle your own local bandwidth, to control the rate at which the cache fills.

Without understanding exactly what these values are doing, you can make things worse for your connection. For example, if you had a really fast internet connection, and used the zerocache setting with a high readbufferfactor setting, you could be unnecessarily writing gigabytes of data to your hard drive every time you watch a large HD movie. Because XBMC will cache as much and as fast as it can, much faster than the speed at which you're watching the video. You're essentially caching much more than you need and destroying your drive in the process. I've also seen people using zerocache, but leaving the readbufferfactor at 1. Which kind of works against what you're trying to accomplish because the low readbufferfactor will prevent XBMC from caching much at all. You have to understand what it's doing for it to be useful for you.

A good advancedsettings.xml file should be tailored to your own device, and your own download speed. But even then, you will still see different results when streaming from different servers. It's possible to have the perfect xml file for your device and network, and still see buffering. I have a gigabit connection from my ISP and see buffering all the time with specific servers. That's normal when using dozens upon dozens of different sources in different countries. Buffering should not just be assumed to be a flaw in your setup/network/device to be fixed with an xml file.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newbie_from_NJ:
100% agree with you! You have to know what those settings do or you can make things worse. That's why I personally chose those settings... I know what I'm doing and they are specifically meant for the AFTV.

Anyone that is having issues be my guest and try it... If this doesn't do it, we can then reevaluate their personal situation then. :0)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EFEXR:
I have used the zero cache advanced xml file and although is really good, eventually I always get the low storage message, which is an annoyance because I would have to clear all data on Kodi and restart to redo all of my Kodi setup to get back where I wanted it.

I personally experienced the low storage space on multiple FireTv devices. Would your advance xml take care of that?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCFish:
Yes it would. Instead of setting cachemembuffersize to zero, use a set value like the example in post #4. That will use RAM and not use any system HD space for cache. The FireTV has 2GB of RAM, but only ~6GB of usable system hard drive storage. It's to your advantage to use RAM for cache instead of HD.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewb0y:
This combined with changing some TCP settings on my Windows Home Server v1 using what I found here http://night-ray.blogspot.com/2010/03/improving-windows-xp-smb-file.html

completely resolved my buffering issues while watching shared files over my local network. Now if we could just mess with Netflix settings like this everything would be Golden.

Also to be noted, I tried pushing settings over using the Fire TV Utility App, but it must have sent to the wrong location. There was no xml file until I created one using the Easy Advanced Settings program.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartymcfly:
If you have root, set the addons settings metadata onto a USB hub flash drive or hard drive. Then you can use disk to cache just fine.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raymondo17:
Just wanted to say thanks for the information in this thread, especially Newbie_from_NJ whose settings I used for my FireTV. I'm especially excited about the fact that I'm now able to fast forward and rewind. It's still a little clunky, but I'm able to do it. (Clicking five times on the double arrow button fast forwarded at about 1.5 minutes per second.) Before the advanced setting tweak, fast forwarding simply didn't work and would sometimes make Kodi crash. So, thanks very much!

Also wanted to mention that I installed this advanced setting very easily using adbFire 1.17. If you click on the "Setup" button at the top of the window, it brings up a new window featuring an area where you can tweak all three of the Kodi Cache Settings. Clicking on the "Write XML" button will send a new advancedsettings.xml file right on over to your FireTV. Careful though, because if you've already got an advancedsettings.xml file on your FireTV, it could overwrite it.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EFEXR:
These settings are great for the Amazon Fire Tv box thank you.

Do you happen to know the settings for the FireTV Stick? The FireTV Stick has less memory.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newbie_from_NJ:
Sure thing. Cache is all about RAM (memory) so we need to find out how much memory you have available. The Fire Stick has 1GB of RAM, but we cannot go by that. The operating system is using some of that, along with Kodi. So run Kodi and then go to System/System Info/

There, you will see "Free Memory:" Let me know what is says.

Reboot the fire TV a couple of times and see if you get different results. We need the average free memory the Fire Stick usually has available. I don't want to base it on the one time you check, as something could be running on the background that may provide a lower number.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EFEXR:
I rebooted Kodi three different times to check the Free Memory and all those three times the free memory ranged from 100MB-130MB.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] edufur:
So I had been running the unnofficial 5.0.2 CM lollipop on my phone for a while when I finally decided I would do a full wipe and flash the latest version of it (1/26). Prior to the full wipe, the phone had been running fine. But since 1/26, it started depleting battery rapidly and it had tons of input lag. So... I wiped again and went back to what I previously had... only, my problems did not go away. So then I decided I would wipe and go back to CM11. Now, it is a little better, but still is having odd lag / behavioral issues.

My question is this.... I did several full wipes. This doesnt seem to be resolving my issues. I am guessing that wipes dont really get rid of strange behavior. Is there another step? I tried the "repair" option in TWRP but that didnt help much. I am using the latest TWRP. Should I odin a factory ROM then re-root everything? If so, does knox become removable, or am I stuck with it?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindabizzie:
So my OnePlus One started dying when I would still have about 10% left. I thought it might be a bug or something with he CM12 nightlies so I wanted to revert back to stock. I transferred all of my media to my comp, got the 64gb zip from the "Revert back to 100% stock" thread, plugged my OnePlus One in, went into fastboot mode, made sure my comp recognized my phone ("fastboot devices") and clicked the "flash-all.bat" or whatever (not on MY comp right now, don't know the exact name) aaaaand some crazy stuff happened.

My phone started rebooting constantly, back into fastboot mode. This isn't how it worked with my Nexus 5 but the command window looked like it was doing what it was supposed to do. Then it got to sending the "system" and FAILED saying the file was too large. My phone rebooted and now it doesn't get past the first splash screen with the 1+ logo and "powered by android"

When I try to get into the bootloader nothing happens, but sometimes I get into the "Cyanogen Recovery" which I've never seen before. I wish I could take a screenshot and post it. It's options are:

Reboot system now

Apply Update

Wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

wipe media

If I could get into fastboot mode I think I would be fine, but I can't.

When I go to "Apply update" I have the option to "apply from adb" and do the adb sideload thing, which I'm not very familiar with.

I think I might be in trouble, could anybody help me?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Is adb working while in recovery? It should. Try using the adb reboot bootloader command.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radopi:
Try pressing Power + Volume Up until your phone boots into fastboot mode and then run flash-all.bat again. If it is not working again, boot to fastboot mode and do all the steps by hand.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alunduyn:
Title is not much explainatory.

I'd like to compile&run C programs on my Android device. Why? I'm studying C with a friend, and we'd like to try and test our little apps on-the-go.

I know there are plenty of apps on the store (such as CppDroid, TerminalIDE et cetera), problem is : all of them install the SDK in /datadata (I have a SGS with Omni 4.4. The short story should be : on data there is the slow-access files, on datadata the fast-access ones) and I barely have 200MB of total space. Installing a 150MB SDK all in there is not possible for me.

What I'd like to do is get those files and integrate them with /system, to be able to compile via the Terminal (and saving me from having more apps) (yes : I have 200+mb free in system. Dunno why, guess I want to use them)

Is it possible? How do I install an SDK?

Thanks for reading.

on the lawer part of the today screen i have 7 small icons, i cant find the way to remove or change them. is there any way to do it?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] bmod:
Go into registry and delete the Launchentry which contains the value "TrayAp.exe" >>> HKLM\Init\Launch92

alternate, hardreset your device and break the automatically install. put the needed files manually to your mda ( except the unliked SP_Tray117_1100.CAB )

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] eyalmor:

thanks alot bmod.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] twisted-pixel:
This is great (I've never used those icons and they take up space) but I also use photo Contacts Pro and this put's it's own little icon in there...so I can lose the O2, the battery status and the conection manager icon, but I can't get rid of the photocontacts icon.

so for me there's no point in changing this in the registry
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] twisted-pixel:
infact I tried this and as I knew photo contacts put it's own icon in there (thought it might remove them all). Tried to reverse the registry change, but now all I have is the O2 icon, not the battery indicator or the connections manager icon...anyone know how to get them back??

How bad is the camera on CM? From what I understand the camera for the L90 isn't working properly under CM11, taking poor quality photos. Are there any other issues? I love CM but a stripped factory ROM is working great right now on my D415.
[LG Optimus L90] ecaslak:
I have a D415 running the latest nightly build of official CM11, with BigMajster's patch. Here are the major issues I've encountered so far:

Video playback doesn't work for Netflix or NBC, but it works for browser (HTML5), YouTube, and FIOS Mobile.

Camera doesn't autofocus

Bluetooth streaming cuts out frequently

Random reboots (every 2 days or so)

It's worth noting that the battery life is fantastic compared to my Optimus G and iPhone 4S (never used the L90 on stock firmware, so I can't compare builds). My phone rarely goes under 30% before 9PM, and I regularly get 12 hours of battery with 4.5 hours of screen on time (web browsing and streaming video). I barely use my car charger anymore.
[LG Optimus L90] brossovitch:
Just tried it with last nights NIGHTLY.

still no video recording.

Gps is about 2300 miles off. LOL

Runs smooth. Less glitchy. Feels good. Didn't stick with it long though....

[LG Optimus L90] brossovitch:
Running this mornings w7 NIGHTLY (http://get.cm/get/nxh) on my D415.

My God, someone has been putting work in!

The device is smoother, boots much quicker, screen is far more responsive now too!

The three reboots I have done also recognized the SIM faster too. It usually takes about a minute to recognize the network. This time, four seconds! Nice!

It's much less glitchy, again. Lets see of it still über deep sleeps?

Don't know if any of that is from this mornings update, but this device is running much better than it was last night.

When I woke up this morning:

Dirty flashed over existing CM11 system. (With one eye open, still in bed)

Bootloops, my favorite breakfast!

Flashed [MENTION=6121686]BigMajster[/MENTION] kernel (patch).

Perfekt again!

Only been running for about 1.5hrs but, it's noticeably better.. I recommend it. :D

So I bought one of these Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 kids tablets for my son. He has of course eaten up all the internal memory loading all his games, etc. So I bought him a 32gb mSD card and inserted and formatted it for use. Problem is I cant figure out how to move the apps there and/or make it the default location for any new downloads.

Does this have to be rooted in order to do this? if so can it be rooted so it has the "Kids Mode" as well? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikers99:
So my son updated his Galaxy Tab2 7.0 3113 from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2

Now has an X on the battery even if it is charging or not or if plugged or not. I have the Firmware to go back down to 4.1.1 and the odin program. The problem, I can't get into the Download mode even if it killed me. I press the power button and volume low button at the same time and try the up volume button. I know I am doing it right as I have 3 Samsung Galaxy Tabs 2 at home and I can get into the download mode. I have even tried to do this but I can't get there.

It happens that your Tablet cannot boot into Download Mode due to various reasons. There is a battery trick that can be achieved. Do it when you absolutely cannot boot into Download Mode.

Quote:

1. Remove your tablet's battery.

2. Connect your tablet to your computer

3. Your device should automatically boot into Download Mode.

4. Put back your Battery back into your device.

So is there another way to get into the download mode? Is there a program or APP that can do this from the Tablet when it is on? or is the tablet pretty much dead?

I have unplugged the battery....and put a new battery works great but has the X still there. and the battery just drains.

I have looked around the site....Any help would be welcomed. Thank you.

When I try selecting editable text that extends beyond the visible frame (between the top of the page and keyboard), the selection handle simply cannot be pulled any lower than the top of the keyboard - thus, making selection of any larger text practically impossible.
