Hi,

I recently found a tutorial on a chinese board about how to dual-boot Nubia Z7 Max, but I can't understand it since it's Chinese... Even Google translate is giving me bad translation, and I don't want to mess with my device. Here's the thread I've seen there: http://www.tdbeta.cn/thread-187418-1-3.html

Does anyone who can speak Chinese help me with that? Have you ever done this?

Could be nice to try some roms without messing with my CM12. Thank you!

When i plug my phone in to charge while it is off it powers on by itself so i cannot charge it while its off, last night it went into a forever loop

because it didnt have enough power to completely boot up and it wouldnt charge when it was off, so it was really annoying i ended up getting it to stay on long enough to reboot into recovery

and let it charge in recovery for a few minutes,.

When i flash another kernel the phone will charge when its off no problem, so its something in the kernel i am wanting to use the agni kernel so my question is , is there a setting or something in the kernel tweaks or whatever

that i can change to allow the phone to charge when its off Because my phone runs the best with the agni kernel and i would really like to keep it....I just flashed the devil kernel on there and it charges fine i just want to know if theres a setting to change.

Thanks,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
It's because you're still on the old bootloader. Some kernels have a commit to work around this but most do not. If you want to charge powered off you need up update your bootloader.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Tref:
Hi,

I'm considering buying an Advantage when it comes out. I have some questions about the Ameo/Advantage that I'm hoping someone can answer.

1. Is the Ameo/Advantage ROM upgradable to WM6?

2. Does the screen wash out in direct sunlight?

3. Are the two WM5 menu buttons available without the keyboard?

4. What's the story with the cursor button on the top left corner of the unit? 5. Is it a true joystick? If so, where are the left and right mouseclick buttons located?

6. Will the keyboard also attach itself to the back of the unit when you don't want to use it for input, or do you have to set it aside?

7. Can you answer or return a call when the keyboard is covering the screen?

8. When you have an SD card inserted can you see both it and the HDD in explorer?

9. Is WM5 on this device still limited to a "seeing" a single directory level under My Documents for such things as opening documents from the Office apps? It would seem silly for it to be so when you have 8Gb of storage available.

Thanks in advance!

You are welcome
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] :
like all the reviews on the web clearly show, the keyboard sticks over the screen not the back.

It comes with a leather pouch which when used holds the keyboard separately when it is not used.

as for the left and right click buttons.....?

it's a standard joystick. they never have left and right mouse click buttons. If you mean the soft keys, they can be tapped on the bottom of the screen as already stated.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Tref:
bigsmart, thank you for answering what you could!

rhedgehog, the htc site also sort of shows the keyboard behind the back of the device (in the 360-degree view), though not attached. I understand the "normal" position for storage of it is over the screen. But I'm also wondering if you chose not to use the case, and also not to use the keyboard, whether it could be safely attached to the back while using the stylus on the screen. The design of HTC keyboards leave something to be desired, and I rarely use the one on my 8125 for that reason. But still, I like that this sort of keyboard is on the Advantage because at the least it would make for a good screen protector. I just don't want to have to keep track of it if I take it off the front and it won't stick to the back, because the case, while well designed adds bulk to something that is already comparatively large.

Where I was going with the joystick was an attempt to find out if it worked similar to the ones on the OQO 2, and the Flipstart (and other uPCs and UMPCs). Having the ability to position the cursor over an object, and then click on it to either execute it (left click), or bring up a context-sensitive menu for it (right click), would be more than a little handy. But barring that, if you can use it to position the cursor, and then press it to simulate a left click, I'd be happy with that.

The question of the buttons was to find out if you could have access to the Windows Mobile menuing system without the use of the keyboard or stylus (one-handed operation). My 8125 has two buttons below the screen for this, and each provides context-sensitive menus or functions. So with one hand, and no stylus I can for instance pull up the menu that allows me to turn on the speakerphone by pressing the right button during a call, then navigating to and selecting the appropriate menu item with the d-pad and OK button. I realize the Advantage/Ameo is not really designed for one-handed operation, but being able to use it without the keyboard or stylus for basic operations (such as a phone), would be a benefit.

Reviews and/or pictures rarely address all the questions we'd like the answers to...for instance, another important issue (to me at least) is the inability of Pocket Office apps to see more than a single directory level beneath My Documents (or to even do away with the My Documents model). It is somewhat less than useful to bundle apps that do not have the ability to see multi-level storage on a device with 8Gb of data storage built into it. I just finished watching a WM6 demo but unfortunately they did not touch on that aspect of the new OS.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Digital.Diablo:
I'll reply about the keyboard question if I may.

The keyboard doesn't 'stick' to the back of the unit - I guess there's no metal plate/magnet located there. However, if you're using the leather pouch in the back, the keyboard will just hang from the leather pouch (only attached using the power of magnetism). I normally just have it hanging down, but you can rotate it and hold it against the back of the device, in the wallet should you so choose. But I love the keyboard - far better than the softboard within WM5 itself and find myself using it more and more. The only problem I do have with it is the phone button is in the wrong place (top left) where I hold the keyboard whilst using it walking around. Hope that helps.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Tref:
Digital.Diablo,

Thanks for the reply. I decided I did not want to wait for the X7501, and the limitation of the directory visibility in the pocket office apps has been a hindrance to me for just too long. So today I took the plunge and purchased a Sony UX280P. I'll carry that around, along with my phone, instead of an Advantage. But at least I'll have some additional options as a result.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raymondo17:
In order to get the most out of my FireTV/Kodi setup, last week I switched to Comcast cable for their 105mbps service. The first few days, Speedtest.net showed a download speed of around 50mbps on both my computer and my FireTV. Last night, I was experiencing some buffering issues, which had totally disappeared the first few days with Comcast, so I did some more speed tests. I was excited to see speeds of 125mbps on my computer, but totally bummed to see that my FireTV was only reporting around 7 or 8mbps.

Why would there be such drastic performance differences between my computer and my FireTV? I would think some kind of issue arising over the long ethernet cable, but they were reporting consistent speeds between the two when I first got Comcast last weekend.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
That's kind of a drastic drop. I'd suspect the Ethernet cable. Longer cords will slow it down a*bit but more than likely it's a problem with the cable. How is it run? Is it possible it got squeezed?

Hardwired is always better but not always feasible. I bought my own modem and router. I actually get the speeds Comcast promises over WiFi with better range. Saving the monthly fee for Comcast equipment doesn't quite even out--it'll take years but my network is much better after switching.

Btw--have you tried the speedtests over WiFi? Sometimes my WiFi speeds beat hardwired but with WiFi you need to deal with interference.

As for cables and buffering, if there's something wrong with the cable it'll cause issues. It's like a race car going over 200 mph and hitting even a small bump. I use to drive my wife nuts with cables running through the house (I'm not much of a craftsman) But even though buffering is a part of xbmc I really don't experience much. And when I do it's usually fixed through power cycling the router. Of course if we're streaming it doesn't always matter how fast our internet is. If the server it comes from is slow, there's nothing you can do to speed it up.

***when I asked you to test WiFi speeds I assume you have dual band. 2.4ghz is craps imo. Another reason to buy your own router. In my area you only get 5ghz if you rent more equipment from Comcast.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raymondo17:
Thanks for the response. :)

I agree that it sounds like a cable issue, but would that explain why we were getting mediocre but consistent speeds between the computer and Fire TV, and now the computer speeds are blazing and the Fire TV is limping along? I did the measurements when no activity was going on, so I don't think the initial 50mbps tests were because the computer and Fire TV were evenly splitting the signal. And I haven't touched the cable since it was installed, so I don't know how it could have gotten squeezed between last weekend and now.

I haven't yet. One thing I did try was using different speed test websites. I wound up getting totally different figures (shown in mbps):

• Speedtest.net: 125

• att.com/speedtest: 27.16

• speedof.me: 40.62

• cnet.com/internet-speed-test: 31.39

• bandwidthplace.com: 37.52

• myverizon.com: 20.79

• timewarnercable.com: 122.58

Plus many more that totally fluctuated. Oddly, all of the upload speeds were consistent at around 12mbps.

Good suggestion to power cycle the router. I'll try that this evening and report back.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
Speed tests can be effected by many factors. I find speed test.net to be most accurate. When it comes to networks, it can be a lot more complicated than it seems but most of the*issues I've spent hours or days agonizing over could've been solved by something as simple as a new cable. One time my speed test were fast but video kept buffering. I spent weeks troubleshooting. 2 techs came to my house. The 2nd was smart enough to check the cable outside my house. I live near the ocean and it got corroded. So it would register as fast but it was prone to frequent issues. That's why I always look for the simplest solution.

Also, I don't get too hung up on speedtests anymore. To this day my living room aftv still tests faster on 5ghz than wired but I keep it wired.

One wall away my other aftv is WiFi testing at around 100 mbps while the wired one tests at around 80 to 85. Oh and forgot to mention WiFi antennas aren't all the same either. My Mac is about 30 feet farther away from the router than WiFi aftv and Mac Always tests over 130 mbps.

I could go on but just so you don't get too hung up on figuring this out--keep the troubleshooting basic to start. Then if it's still giving you problems look deeper into it. Good luck!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raymondo17:
After another frustrating night of aftv buffering, I sent my wife to bed and started yanking on cables and running speed tests. The simple act of turning off my PS3 and unplugging and plugging ethernet cables seemed to get me up from 8mbps to 25mbps. Swapping out a brand new Monoprice Cat6 cable for a Cat5e cable that Comcast had left behind bumped me up to around 30mbps. Still not the 50mbps I was experiencing when I first switched to Comcast, but better.

Then something KLit75 mentioned about testing my WiFi speed popped into my head, so I gave that a whirl. Speedtest reported 80mbps! I tripled my speed by going to WiFi! :good:

So why don't you go WiFi? I'm kinda old school, and I learned to always go hardwired whenever possible. But I think in this instance, if the speedtest numbers tell the real story here, I'd be way better off going with the WiFi, no?

I replayed the show we were watching that kept buffering on us earlier in the evening (an episode of Town of the Living Dead), and this time it played smooth as silk. Even the gray progress bar scooted happily along, picking up more and more space ahead of the playhead as the show progressed. I'm psyched!

I do recall during the rooting process that being on WiFi held some danger of Amazon updating my software on me, but since I completed the rooting process successfully and, if I remember correctly, in the process turned off the ability for Amazon to do auto updates in the process, I'm not in any danger of losing my root via an auto-update from Amazon, am I?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
You mean "root"? You're good. I believe you're thinking of the root guide. It's easier to get to the registration page with ethernet. But once you're rooted there is absolutely no danger of losing root via WiFi (at last no more so than with Ethernet.)

As for why I don't go WiFi when speed tests are faster...

1. 80mbps, for what I stream is more than fast enough.

2. It's like I mentioned earlier, no interference, provided your cable is in good health.

3. Speed tests aren't always the best way to measure quality.

***I hardwire when I can. That no longer extends to running a long cable through my house. I certainly could but why would I ? I stream fine over WiFi.

But like I said, just because it registers as faster on a speed testdoesn't meaner it's stronger in terms of not getting weakened by external factors.

Before I landed on hardwiring, I made sure I tested 3 different cables. The results actually were different and I just went with the cable that had the fastest speed test result. My rule of thumb--if it's within a few feet of my router I hardwired. And there is one weak spot in my house (my son's room) so I bought him a plugin power line adapter. He only needs it for gaming.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raymondo17:
Lol. Yes, I meant "root," not "boot." I realized my doof, I mean, goof, and edited the post moments before I got your reply. Hey, it was pretty late when I posted, I'm surprised it wasn't more skewed than that. :p

Right after I posted, I went and checked my speed one more time before hitting the hay. For whatever reason, it was down from 80 to 30mbps, so I went to bed in a bad mood. But this morning I was getting 70mbps, so... I'll try not to let the speed tests drive me crazy. As long as I can get away from the frequent buffering of streaming content, I'll be happy.

Many thanks, KLit75, for your input on this. I really appreciate you takin' the time.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
It's not a problem. If you're experiencing buffering it might be time to consider some advanced settings and unfortunately I'm not the one to talk to. I don't typically have buffering issues but it appears I'm more of the exception there.

There was actually a good thread very recently (last few days) I think it was title adjusting zero cache? Anyway it turns out lots of people set it to zero and that's not good for aftv. Read the entire thread then you might want to go to the org for more specifics.

I think I don't have buffering because I typically don't stream hd movie sources, especially over WiFi. Most of my online sources are tv shows from genesis. The others I almost alwaysuse local files.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raymondo17:
I'd very much like to read that thread, as I did the Zero Cache routine and it seemed to help for a little while, but then not so much. Was it in this forum, cuz I don't see anything pertaining to zero cache in the title since the start of the new year?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
It's this one. But like I said you might want to read then check related topics at the org. I don't pretend to know much about it but it seems there's not one catch all number to set. It's specific to your network.

In maybe a related topic, adbFire 1.16 was just released and I'm not certain but think the dev*made it simpler to change this/modify cache. If it's what I think it is it MIGHT make it a whole lot easier to play around/test different settings. But as always, do your research. I'm trying to help but it's not something I have experience with. I've been around long enough to understand this MAY be something that'd benefit you.
