"I've found wifi reception is TERRIBLE"

What does this mean?

Fewer bars on the wifi icon? Wifi connection times out a lot more? Slower speeds?

Fewer bars doesnt mean that the connection is worse.

Timing out/slower speeds might be due to several reasons. TCP/IP tunables, apps using up traffic/opening up ports...

hi

just gone from an S4 to an S5 and notice sammy has removed the cool lights effect unlock screen that was on the S4.

It was the one where you hover your finger over the screen and the light appears.

Any one know of a mod so i can have this on my S5?

Have searched the net but to no avail. :(

I know its no big deal, but to me it just feels like a downgrade.

Hey Guys! I am in desperate need for help!

So yesterday I accidentally installed this Rom

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-glamours5-s3-touch-s5-version-7-0-t2258723

My phone is a T-Mobile Galaxy S3 SGH-T999L

* I HAVE A SGH-T999L *

*IGNORE THE MODEL MENTIONED IN THE TITLE.

The Rom I tried to install was a the international version of the Galaxy S3. (GT-i9300).

After it finished installing it restarted and it did not restart completely. The phone did not even start.

Currently my phone will not charge, will not start when pressing the power button. When I charge my phone without the battery the red light glows only for 30 seconds max.

So I found this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2439367

I tried to use the micro SD card method where I think I downloaded the right file which is:

SGH-T999L Debrick image Thanks to [MENTION=4307789]DJ_SpaRky[/MENTION] for the new T999L dump

I installed the image file using the program stated in that forum.

I believe I did everything correctly, but nothing is happening when I turn on my phone. It is not booting from the SD CARD. I tried this SEVERAL times still no success.

I would really appreciate if someone has a solution to how to fix my phone!

Thanks!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tichs:
Hi Guys I see that no device can do 60fps butter smooth all the time, there's always a dropped frame stutter or lag, even on a nexus 6 or whatever new device comes along, doesn't matter how powerful it is, even at max clock speed the thing just drops a frame or something anywhere. Like no company has ever come up with a perfect device until now, even iOS which is always "smooth" drops frame in the UI from time to time. If you explicitly tell an app to lock the UI at 60fps it will always drop somewhere in between. Why is that?

Hey Guys,

Since Samsung realeased 2 versions of the S6 ( S6 and S6 edge) will there be difficulties when ROM developers want to create a ROM, because of the bended screen?

Cause that would be a pity if such a beautiful phone, will have poor ''XDA Support''

Your major problem isn't the curved screen fail, it's Exynos. Samsung likes to keep their Exynos platform free of third-party developers.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammief:
Hmm, I hope if the S6 will be a success, they start thinking about satisfying the developers :(

Is there a huge difference between Exynos and Quallcomm CPU's then? Or is just Samsung not wanting to co-operate with developers?

Samsung will never be developer friendly, remember they still think TouchWiz is good. They won't admit defeat and just remove TouchWiz and make their Samsung specific apps work with less modification of Stock Android.

Hey Hendrickson,

I saw in your photos that you put in an external SD card (microSD).

I have the same phone and encountered the following problem:

everytime I put in an external SD, the /data gets mounted as /mnt/sdcard1, which the external SD card gets mounted as sdcard0 (aka internal sd).

The causes every sorts of problems with backups and Apps.

If I again remove the microSD and restart the phone, everything turns back to normal with /data linking to sdcard0 as it should be.

Did you encounter the same problem or is it maybe just a defect of the one phone that I bought?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] blingin:
I have an O2 Exec. I use a program called Lexisgoo (a dictionary) but the problem is/was that everythime I use it the phone used to hang after about 10-15 minutes. Last night after using Lexisgoo the phone hung and for some reason I did not have my stylus handy so to reset the phone I removed the battery and re-inserted it. Now it wont boot. No soft or hard reset brings it back to life. Tried to get it into bootlader mode and even that doesnt work. When I connect it to my Laptop the RED LED comes on and stays on. Battery was at about 91 % when this happened so it can't be the battery either. PC doesnt even show the error that the USB device is not recognised and Activesync does not recognise it either. Kept the battery out overnight as suggested here and then tried again this morning and still nothing. Any help will be appreciated, Thank you in advance.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
The only benefit for the US folks for using unlocator or other dns is that you get BBC. Are there any free resources to watch the bbc iplayer app? Paying 5 bucks a month for that one app is a little on a higher side.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callanish:
Personally, I think it's worth the $5 a month I pay for unotelly. On the Amazon fire tv, Along with the bbc iplayer and the itv player which I'm running through kodi, I'm also using tvcatchup, and skygo sideloaded using a usb keyboard as well as running netflix U.K, so I'm personally okay with the $5 a month for all those services because I'm using it for more than just the iplayer.

Haven't seen too much stable U.K streaming content with the kodi plugins either. The channels seem to come and go. The superrepo repository on kodi has channels like Phoenix with international live streams, but they can be a hit or a miss. To be honest, I haven't came across a reliable way to access iplayer without either a DNS proxy or VPN running on the router.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
Why are you running bbc iplayer through Kodi. Are you saying you run the official iplayer through the kodi shortcut? the bbc iplayer is the only app I see useful for myself. I don't use netflix. I personally think locator or unotelly should have different pricing for us based people as most of the things are open for use anyways here. :) Thanks for your viewpoint.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callanish:
Well, here's the thing. The BBC iplayer apk app works only through a wireless connection. For some reason, the BBC have restricted anything running through ethernet on Android ( go figure ) and that's how I've got my Amazon Fire TV hooked up....by ethernet. Reason I need this is, when I'm running skygo, I need a stable connection for maximum picture quality and based on where my router is located, the wireless signal can cause skygo to adjust the stream quality so the picture can get worse or better depending on the signal. Ethernet basically solved that, so I had to sacrifice the BBC iplayer app on the Fire TV and relied on the iplayer plugin through Kodi. Fortunately, the Fire TV stick I have in the bedroom can work with wireless since it's pretty close to the router. I just use that with a mini bluetooth keyboard / touchpad, but for iplayer live streams, or catchup, both the app and kodi do the job if you're receiving a good enough wireless signal.

The bottom line is It all comes down to how much use you'd get out of that $5. For example, Sling TV charges $20 per month for its streaming service with a few addons costing $5 on top of that and they provide just a few channels, so for the amount I'm paying for the DNS proxy to get everything I'm using it for, it honestly is a pretty good bang for buck service.....especially if you've got a nice relative that allows you to access their skygo account :laugh:.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
Interesting that you said Bbc iPlayer does not work on ethernet. Mine does work on ethernet directly. However mine is rooted and I have google play with the framework installed. Not sure if it matters but just throwing it out. In my case, I totally agree with your POV of how much bang for the buck you get. I have a dish subscription and my wife wouldn't let me cancel that as she loves the DVR. I also have the slingtv just for kicks. Beats me !! and then I have easynews big gig plan of about 150 gigs a month for 30. I have to stop somewhere but I am tempted to get the unlocator. It works well and I tend to like the bbc hardtalk panoramas. but then I have easynews. :)

If there are any additional apps that come out later for UK based content, I may sign up. :)

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emailrob:
Unotelly isn't an app - its a DNS address that you have to subscribe to, and then enter in the Fire TV itself. This gets around country restrictions e.g. if you're in the US you can watch UK content, or a different countries' netflix

Hi,

The device is rooted by default.

Still waiting for custom rom. Seems it will take a time.

Can anyone please provide me with a backup of a stock recovery image to cs918 plus? I have replaced the original one with TWRP and now I cannot update the device with new firmware because I cannot find the stock recovery anywhere.

You can easy make a backup copy of stock recovery with Flashify app then put it into the internet and give me a link so I can download it and flash it into my CS918 plus.

Thanks in advance guys!

Please help
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] ISITBRICKED:
I can't upgrade my firmware either cuz I can't even figure out how to get into recovery, I'll get you a copy of stock recovery when I am home tomorrow.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] grzesior:
To flash a new firmware use that instruction:

To get a new firmware type in google: "csrk3288p 20150609", enter the link location and download the file from the web site.

(Unfortunately I cannot put the exact link because I am a new user)

Then put the unpacked downloaded file into the main directory of your external sd card (/mnt/external_sd/) and change the file name from t031_8723bs_CSQ_splaire_20150609.img on update.img.

Then turn on the device but first hold down the button at the bottom of device and keep holding it until you willl get into recovery or install the "Reboot recovery" app.

Then you can choose "data/factory reset" but you don't have to - be careful that will erase all your apps and data installed but will not erase your external sd card.

Then choose "update rkimage from external storage" to flash new firmware.

PS. To navigate in recovery I'm using external keyboard connected to one of USB ports.

If you will have any troubles just ask.

I would be grateful for the stock recovery image for CS918 PLUS device.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] huyphuco:
I don't have the firmware of cs918 plus, but I know how to flash the firmware. I think the procedure is same with cs918 and all rockchip based android tv box.

Using the RKBatch Tool to flash the firmware.

1. Connect to your computer with micro usb cable when device is off

2. Hold reset and power on

3. If one of connected device turn green, browse to the firmware (*.img)

4. Press "Restore" button and wait. Remember "Restore" button, not "Upgrade"

Can't you pull the recovery from the firmware update IMG? I figured out how to update firmware from SD card but used a app called reboot to get into recovery because there's no button on the bottom of my device. That firmware from 0609 called splaire is horrible as is the 2nd newest firmware. I with I had never updated mine it was better before...

I just spent an hour trying to get the recovery for u using flashify, it says it backed it up to SD card but its nowhere to be found on it, it says it backed up to dropbox but the folder it created on Dropbox is empty... Any other way to backup the recovery for u?

Glad to help. My unit is completely bricked now it seems. I upgraded to the June 29 firmware and a lot of functions on the remote stopped working so I wanted to downgrade so I tried to reboot to recovery but root was lost with this update.... So I tried the rkbatch method but I could never get the green connected to show up. I gave up after half an hour and plugged it into my TV now I have no signal I can't even get anything to show up on my TV...super stressed out now...

taking a break

Quick one. I'll take a break from this for now - my little sister's phone broke down, so she got my Photon. I just ordered one from the States today, but between that arriving and cornholiogsm doing the SIM mod, it might take a while (US to Ireland to Czech Republic to Ireland - and Tomas is pretty busy in my experience).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] enigma9o7:
Thanks much for building this!

Forgive my ignorance, I've been using CM11 a while but other than the initial installation in which I followed wiki instructions, have only ever updated thru the phone. But since there hasn't been an update in a couple months, I'm considering installing this, particularly to solve the google service problems. If it makes the phone faster with better file system and ram stuff, that's a bonus, although concerned that might cause problems in the future. I don't fully understand what you mean by messed up build and odexed user stuff means. Basically I wonder can I just install this on top of the latest CM11 nightly without issues ("dirty flash")? My "recovery" is recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-xt926 clock but I only used that cuz that was what the wiki said, I've never used it since the initial install.

If the answer is yes, and I understand your post right, these are the install steps:

1. Download cm-11-20150408-UNOFFICIAL_f2fs-moto_msm8960_jbbl.zip

2. Download & install TWRP-2.8.6.0-20150408-cm11_f2fs-moto_msm8960_jbbl.img

3. Change filesystem of /cache and /data to f2fs using TWRP

4. Install cm-11-20150408-UNOFFICIAL_f2fs-moto_msm8960_jbbl.zip using TWRP

You said something about flash SuperSU alongside this. I don't recall having to do that before, can you provide a little more info?

Do I need to reinstall gapps, and if so, is it the same as I used before, gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip?

And a couple more easy questions I could probably find by searching... how do I install that twrp....img file, can I do that thru clockwork... and how do I get into clockwork anyway, I remember it was holding some volume key during power or something but last time I tried to guess weird things happened with robots getting operations and such so if you happen to know the right keys/etc that would be convenient... will twrp replace clockwork and have the same keys to get boot to it, if not, what keys?

And last but not least... when CM11 M13 finally comes out, will I be able to upgrade to that from this, or perhaps because of the stuff you've taken from CM12 (f2fs/zram/etc) maybe I can't, or maybe I can if I set the filesystem back to default with TWRP first? How bout if one day I decide to use Lollipop (which I may never do anyway as I understand it's only recommended for phones with more than 1GB memory), will I be able to upgrade to CM12 the same way as regular CM11 user? I'd always used official stuff so this unofficial is making me nervous, but I really want my google stuff working right again and my battery to last all day like it used to...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Wait what wiki told you to use CWM for xt926!? CM's wiki?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmbeach05:
I agree with [MENTION=420530]arrrghhh[/MENTION] you should use what your device maintainers recommend you use. I would also recommend you looking at what bootloader you have before trying this as there are KKBL builds in a different thread on I believe the RHD section. Odexed is like what you get from the manufacturer. It has .apk and odex files in it. odex assist the apk files. 6.0.4.4 is outdated, as 6.0.5.1 is the most recent. The install method you just recited is exactly what the OP just said. Per the OP, SU was not built into the 4/8 ROM, so you need to flash it as well. Yes you should be able to flash that Gapps, you just have to update your Gapps after finishing setup via playstore. Lollipop is able to be used on your device, as it currently has official builds. 5.0 had issues, 5.1 just got its official release yesterday. As far as unofficial builds go, I refer you to epinter and krystianp who both took an older device and provided unofficial updates that were very stable, despite the neverending work on a custom kernel. Furthermore, you can go talk to Quarx about unofficial builds, since his builds has been running the Defy for years. So being nervous about an unofficial build is like saying you're nervous about using a generic brand of something vs the more publicized item. Battery life will always be an issue if you have a bad setup (wifi and bt on all the time, max bright screen, hrs of listening to music or streaming, etc.)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mionica:
@enigma9o7 Personally, I can't wait to do an unofficial cm11 build based on the cm11 m13 code base :) - with f2fs, and I expect, by then, zram (if it proves useful on cm11 at all - this thing works unreasonably well to begin with ;) ). So I wouldn't worry about m13, as I'm pretty sure to release a parallel build on its side.

Now, I'm a bit impaired re. testing equipment atm :) but I have a mind to keep building this weekly or so anyway, while I judge the commits to be low-risk, and resume the riskier stuff once I get the new toy. Was away from Dublin this week, hence from my home PC :), but that gets fixed tonight...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmbeach05:
One question i did have that i was wondering, when you built the kernel, did you set it up for GSM, CDMA, or both? I know we've talked via pm about things, but i've gotten it to boot up with your kernel, but no signal and baseband unknown
