[Moto G General] unrafa:
Wifi should be lefy alone as default to "never sleep"

Wifi should never sleep, even if the phone's cpu sleeps. Wifi will receive messages from whatsapp or whatever and wake up the cpu.

But if you put wifi chip to sleep, the phone will connect using 2g or worse, 3g or HSPA, and drain even more battery.

Wifi comes by default to "never sleep" for this reason, it is more battery efficient than 2g/3g.

And if you dont have wifi at home, all you have to do is slide down the menu and turn of Wifi. No need to change internal configuration on behaviour who only make things worse.

On the other hand, Viber is known for years to be a battery abuser.

I have been using android for years, and wifi policy was always the same, and my phones have idle times of several days

i even published some screen shots of my moto defy and moto G with a full week Idle without charging.with whatsapp and Wifi polocy never sleep.. With viber i wouldnt even try to make it last 2 days.

Hey guys!! :)

I currently own a LG G3 and am thinking about swithing to a Windows 8 platform device. Only thing pulling me back is if the Lumia 930 is outdated and a newer device of Lumia will release?..

Should I wait it out, or just go for it? Need reasons as I don't know what will be releasing with the Lumia and if it's worth getting a 930 being it's a few months old already.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrrevoltar:
Also, anyone know the battery life on the Nokia Lumia 930?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frup:
Battery life is very good in my experience. At least two days with wifi and BT on and moderate use.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathmetalhobo:
I've got:

FireFireFire - the one with the yellow triangle

TWRP 2.2.2.1

CM10.1.2

So about a year ago I wanted to put a vanilla version of android on my 1st gen Kindle Fire. After some headache, I finally got it to work. But this device isn't made for anything special, and honestly, I think I liked it a little better with the stock Amazon version of android it came with, so I've been trying to revert it back to stock.

A couple days ago, I read somewhere that I needed a certain older version of TWRP. So I got it and flashed it. Then all of a sudden, I can't push anything to the SD card directory. It shows up on my file manager inside of TWRP, but there is nothing on it except an empty folder called "TWRP".

I've been to this post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20707200#post20707200) but it doesn't work for me. When I try to push busybox1 to sbin it says it's read only. and the same with any other place I try to put it. I can't do anything without access to the SD.

Also, when I'm in TWRP, adb doesn't see the device, but it will when it's booted up normally. Also, for some reason, gapps is no longer on the device so I can't get anything from the Play Store either. Please help
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
like this? http://www.xda-developers.com/firefirefire-custom-bootloader-for-the-kindle-fire/

if so it's old

what was filename of special TWRP?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathmetalhobo:
Yes that is the FireFireFire screen that shows up on mine, do you think I should try to update it? Is that possible to do without access to the sdcard?

The TWRP wasn't anything special, just TWRP 2.2.2.1. I think it was required in order to flash the stock Amazon ROM, but once I downgraded my TWRP to 2.2.2.1, is when my SD became unavailable.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
First install drivers if you have not already

See [How To][Root] Kindle Fire 1 update 6.3.3 [2014] for links to drivers

Then check drivers

In Device manager>select unknown device or device with a yellow triangle>Update driver software>

browse my computer for driver software>Let me pick from a list of Device Drivers on my computer>

show all(uncheck show only compatible)>look for ADB interface or android phone

select yes to Ignore warning

may need to reboot both.﻿

FIUI is a Chinese rom based off Cyanogenmod 11

The Future Interface UI is made by the AZ Fuga Team, the concept of FIUI is to simply remove all the redundant features that bloats up the system but to still keep the max functionality and ofcourse holding their gorgeous UI

I here by declare that flashing this is your own responsibility, so if something goes wrong don't blame me or the maintainer for D802.

This isn't my rom but from the FIUI team and from the maintainer Ry09iu.

Stop by the original thread and feel free to reply, but it will probably be hard as you need to register first and also enter a verification which you might not be able to enter as it's chinese. I will update the download link when I know when there is a new build, if I didn't updated it but you saw a update then please notify me about it.​

[ .::._Bugs_.::. ]

Same as normal CM11 build for the D802

[Dell Venue] Chuckles960:
Hello...these forums seem to be both about older Dell Venue 8 models and also the newish Venue 8 7000 (7840). I do not know if they are supposed to be the same for rooting purposes.

I am not a complete newbie, having rooted several phones and tablets in the past, but I did that by faithfully following setp-by-step instructions I found here. I did find the following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096

which seems to be relevant for the 7840, but post#1 assumes much prior knowledge and is beyond my capability to follow and implement.

Any advice or guidance would be appreciated, and pointing me to a set of instructions that doesn't assume much expertise would be fantastic.
[Dell Venue] bamfsig45:
That is what I used.
[Dell Venue] Chuckles960:
That may be, but as I noted above, I cannot follow these instructions. The poster himself/herself notes that these are rough notes. Would anyone be able/willing to provide a walkthrough for non-experts?
[Dell Venue] jumpup:
If you have any fear, do not proceed or get help from a knowledgeable warm body

[MENTION=4736234]Chuckles960[/MENTION] - I know this isn't the answer you want to hear, but I would not attempt this method if you in any way feel uncomfortable with the process. The Venue 7840 does not have any 'reverse'/unbrick procedures out there (as of yet). Also, Dell does not offer their ROM for reinstall like other manufacturers do. However, there is a link to a full Nandroid backup of the 4.4.4 stock ROM within the Venue General forum.

Have you ever installed recovery, unlocked bootloader(s) or rooted any other Android devices?

-Jay

PS - By 'knowledgeable warm body', I didn't mean it offensively. Just a friend or someone you can meet locally that can help you in person. Trust me, this is hard to translate over a forum. I just want to make sure you don't have any frustrations with your Venue. Congrats on the purchase!
[Dell Venue] DanielNTX:
It's easy...

1) Install the Intel ADB Drivers from: https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices

(Use compatibilty mode if you are using Windows 8.1)

2) Device Manager may not properly detect the drivers so you have to specify the Android ADB driver from the install folder above.

3) Extract IntelAndroid-FBRL-01-17-2015.7z into a folder.

4) Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.Xx.zip to the internal storage or SD card

5) Run launcher.bat and and make sure it detects your device in debug mode (Turn on debug from Settings on the device.)

6) Choose the T3 mode and wait for Fastboot to load and select the SuperSU zip and install. Reboot... It should be rooted.

This worked for my 7840 and 3840...
[Dell Venue] jumpup:
And, in case you were not aware, enable USB Debugging on your 7840. After doing so, upon the first cable connection to the PC, a pop-up will appear asking for permissions to connect. Be sure to approve this.
[Dell Venue] Psih4x:
I'm right there with you - The challenge I'm having seems to be more with the Windows drivers... it always sees the device as MTP or just a portable device regardless of having the Intel and pointing Windows to the Intel install folder. Can't seem to get it to recognize the device correctly.
[Dell Venue] anggusss:
In my case I to select the ADB Interface driver manually (can't remember exactly) rather than relying on Windows to identify which driver it needed on it's own. IIRC you have to click 'Have disk' and go through the steps there until you get two lists, one of manufacturers and the other of device types. You're looking for an intel ADB interface or similar.
[Dell Venue] Psih4x:
This was the piece I was missing!!!! I used the Have Disk and managed to load the ADB driver that way. THANK YOU!
[Dell Venue] Chuckles960:
Thanks to all for the tips! I will try it now.

Question: there is a Lollipop update promised for this month (or so). Will I be able to root again after the update, using the same procedures? (I am sure this is a naive question.)
[Dell Venue] Chuckles960:
This worked fine on my 7840, but only after some struggling with drivers. I have Win8.1 64bit, and the ADB driver from these instructions (line#1) did not work. Going back to the main thread (linked in the first post on this thread) and paging through to (I think) page 10, I found a link to Win8.1 ADB drivers and those worked.

Other than that, everything went smoothly. Thanks to everyone who responded helpfully!

Now what happens when we get Lollipop? TBD?
[Dell Venue] jumpup:
Exactly! If SuperSU build supports that version of Lollipop, the tethered CWM should hopefully work ONLY if Dell doesn't have some f***ery in any new boot.img updates
[Dell Venue] mep1127:
Thanks for making this thread, I just successfully rooted my 7840. Now hopefully Dell comes out with a lollipop update and we still keep root :fingers-crossed:
[Dell Venue] MaxiJavi:
Has anyone tried this with Lollipop yet ?

I accidentally (!) installed the OTA.

I wanted to install LinuxDeploy :P

Many thanks :)

http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...ation-on-non-rooted-android-5-lollipop-device

I don't have time to tackle for a couple days yet, let us know if you figure out a method!
[Dell Venue] lamoid:
It doesn't work for me. T4 outright fails. Here's what's on the 7840's screen:

Vampirefo Venue 8 v6.0.3.7

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

If I try to mount /cache using the Mounts and Storage menu, I can't. Nor can /data or /sd-ext be mounted. The following can be mounted: /factory, /config, /logs, /system, and /external_sd. From the Vampirefo Venue 8 v6.0.3.7 main menu, I was able to install the SuperSU update. At least the SuperSU installer said, "Install from SDCard complete."

Now, when I try to reboot, I get the Intel inside screen once for a few seconds then it erases and reappears. Then the tablet is stuck there. I've soft bricked it.

I had the tablet all nicely set up with KK, rooted. Then the OTA came and installed by itself (when I turned off the tablet and restarted it). No way I could stop it. Also, it encrypted the device, which I did not want. It did not give the option of entering a password for the encryption. Is there any way to decrypt it?

Any suggestions on getting the device to reboot Given that It cannot mount the requisite partitions?
[Dell Venue] xBIGREDDx:
At the very least you should be able to boot to fastboot mode by holding Volume Down key during boot (you will have to do this with the tablet completely off). From there you should be able to re-flash the OS, though we'll need somebody who rooted successfully to pull a copy of the /system and /boot partitions.
[Dell Venue] lamoid:
Hi Big Red, Thank you for your reply. If I flash an OS will I not have the same issues with being unable to mount some of the partitions (as mentioned in my previous post) ? I don't want to make things worse than they already are.
[Dell Venue] xBIGREDDx:
You might have the same problem with the recovery image, but if you've soft-bricked your device you can't really get much worse I think. Are you able to boot to Android at all?
[Dell Venue] lamoid:
No I cannot. I'm stuck at the Intel Inside screen. The fastboot interface is fine; I can boot into the bootloader. I'm thinking that the problem may be with the encryption. I read somewhere that performing a factory reset would remove the encryption. But it did not on my lollipop'd 7840. What I find baffling is that when the OTA from KK to LL happened (without my wanting it to) the encryption happened without asking for a password. I really don't get it. I would be happy to completely erase the tablet and re-install KK until the LL root is figured out. You would not happen to know how to do that, would you? Thanks so much, Big Red. I appreciate your help.
[Dell Venue] xBIGREDDx:
Unfortunately we don't have an original system.img from the KK build that would let you roll back. I will try the root for L and if it works I can post a copy of boot.img and system.img; you should then be able to flash those.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
Actually I do have the factory KitKat images I'll upload tonight
[Dell Venue] lamoid:
Thank you, Big Red! I'll look for it.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
DV8_7800KK4.4.4.7z the system image is rooted so you'll have to unroot but these are the original images off a kitkat device a user provided for me
[Dell Venue] xBIGREDDx:
Thanks! Any chance you've got the stock 5.0 recovery from anyone? I wiped mine out.

Also T4 works to get me into tethered recovery, but the rooting doesn't work; any ideas? Could it be because my stock recovery is gone?
[Dell Venue] wolfballz:
I saw someone say this worked on their 3840. I have everything needed and when I run it and use T3 it does see my device but just reboots it back to the OS instead of going into fastboot. Any ideas?
[Dell Venue] spotdog14:
T4 works fine for 5.0 on the 7840.
[Dell Venue] xBIGREDDx:
Being the "idiot" in "idiot's guide to rooting," I forgot step 0 (to just put the SuperSU zip on an external SD card) until now. Works perfectly. :o
[Dell Venue] mrmrmrmr:

Hi folks,

Just received my Dell Venue 7840 it is indeed a fabulous tablet. I tried to root it with the above technic but nothing seems to work. My tablet is fully recognized via ADB, the drivers are correctly installed, but neither the T3 or T4 options is working, the tablet do reboot in fastboot mode via the remote tethering tool, but stays on : fastboot cmd waiting and nothing is happening, I have to reboot manually. The tablet have the latest LP 5.0.2 version installed , am I missing something or rooting is a no go for the moment?

TIA!
[Dell Venue] wonglynn2004:
If you hang on "fastboot cmd waiting" screen on your tablet, that means your fastboot driver does not installed correctly. I had the same issue and figured out later. You need to manually change the driver in your "Device Manager" to Intel ADB Interface.

Good luck
[Dell Venue] Lucky Thirteen:
Thanks for your input, appreciated, I will check that.
[Dell Venue] Noswal:
Even after correcting the drivers, it's possible that the device won't be recognized after you trigger it. When it's stuck on "fastboot cmd waiting," check the drivers again in Device Manager. I had to reinstall the correct driver after it was triggered and that fixed it.
[Dell Venue] cowpen:
I saw in another thread that busybox is required after rooting. Can someone confirm?

Also confused about which Xposed framework installer is appropriate for this device on 5.0.2? Thanks!
[Dell Venue] Lucky Thirteen:
It is what I did to have it worked out. Thanks for the tip!

The tablet was updated to version 5.1.0 and the tool doesn't work anymore for rooting, neither T3 or T4 options, is there something to modify in the tool to have it working again?

TIA :)

Do you have Preview for developers installed and enabled? My Lumia 920 didnt get it either until I disabled Preview for developers.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snickler:
Sometimes, you have to disable Preview for Developers in order to receive further updates. If you could tell us the OS build, that may help us out.

Another way to get the Denim update is to use the Lumia Software Recovery and simply flash to the latest ROM for your phone with Denim built in. Of course, this means that your current application/game states will be lost if you chose this route, but you'll be able to achieve your goal of obtaining the Denim update.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] VDiddy:
I would like for my application to start upon boot up and MSDN claims that if you add the application as a LaunchXX item in the HKLM\Init keys of the Windows Mobile registry that it will launch the app at startup. The trouble is that I properly add the key and when I reset the device (using the reset button with stylus) that my application is not started and is not listed under the process list, but if I reset a 2nd time my application is started at boot up. I was wondering if anyone knows why this happens, why it takes 2 resets for my application to get launched at boot up, and how I may fix this situation?

Thanks,
