[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
Been playing around with my new Bluetooth keyboard and really like the easy screenshot option by pressing ctrl + s. Is there anyway to configure the stock remote to do this?

Also, there is one obvious flaw with web browsers Ive tried. The on-screen keyboard pops up, blocking a good deal of the page and its also very awkward. How do i disable this? And while im at it...having a web browser loses some of its convenience when you need to navigate the deep forest of crap that is the fire os ui. How do i get a shortcut in the recent apps section? Would i need to install appstore then sideload a web browser from amazon? Or maybe theres a llama event that can be used?

Id appreciate any tips. Itll save lots of time in trial & error. Thanks.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkenhimer:
It is not a browser flaw, it works the same way on all android devices. You tap the text area, the keyboard pops up. Some browsers do it automatically on sites if you enter a site that is already setup for you to start typing. Youtube, Facebook and several other sites are already setup for you start typing when you enter the site so they keyboard pops up automatically. A way to stp this is to tap anywhere on the screen before the keyboard pops up. That why I use Maxthon browser cause it does not auto popup the keyboard on those sites like Firefox and Chrome do. Also, if you wanna type without the keyboard popping up all you have to do is hold down on the text area for a few seconds and the little placer and the word paste should popup, then let off the text area and you can type without the keyboard popping up. It works the same way on all android devices except you use your mouse button instead of your finger. So all you have to do is go to the text area you wanna type in and place your cursor there, hold down on the mouse button for a couple seconds, the placer and the word paste will popup, depress the mouse button and you can type without the keyboard popping up. Just like on all android devices this method does not work for all apps, but it does for most apps. I type 90% of the time on the Fire TV without the keyboard ever popping up. Advice, try it on your phone first to get the hang of it. Open your browser, hold down on a text area and you will see that after a couple seconds paste will appear and the keyboard does not popup, which means if you had a keyboard you could type without the onscreen keyboard popping up and it works the exact same way on the Fire TV.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
Great info! And that's a cool trick (holding down to avoid pop up). Still I have questions just not real techy ones. Essentially android is made for mobile so not being able to disable the keyboard wouldn't make sense. But now that its branched into set top boxes and some people are installing this on PC, not to mention chrome books...I can't believe the os isn't slightly modded for these platforms. If I'm not mistaken, I may have seen a xposed module that let's you do that? But the xposed mods I've tried on aftv have been limited to rbox TV mods and the necessary settings for playstore to work but itll be worth looking into. For now its not a big hardship.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkenhimer:
Its not a trick. Android is made to do that. If you hold your finger/cursor over the text area, option will popup instead of the keyboard, and its always been that way.

Hey everyone I would say I'm a noob at this. But I got my oneplus rooted. And tried installing an array of custom roms anywhere from paranoid android to pacman to color os. And all of them had errors. I got cm12 to work and some old version of mahadi.

Is there something I'm missing? I'd really like to use paranoid android.

And if there are some other cool roms that aren't so main stream I'd really appreciate any guidance on this.

Thanks in advance, Justin

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rlvaldez:
Hi, my wifes Samsung S3 L710 decided yesterday that is didnt want to work anymore. It was fine in the morning and had full charge by the afternoon it had shut off and will not start anymore.

This is a completely stock version, nothing has ever been done to it after market, she didnt want to let me root her phone. She kept up with the OTA updated from sprint and as far as i know hasnt had one in a while.

So when i take out the battery and reinstall, i can feel it buzz then i press the power button and the samsung logo come up then disappears and phone is off. Same if i press power+menu+vol down i see the Warning about custom OS then off, and power+menu+vol up i see the samsung logo and message on top left saying its booting to recovery then off. We tested the battery and it has a charge, we also tested a new battery and same thing so pretty sure it isnt the battery.

Sorry for the long post but i was wondering if anyone has seen this and if there is anything i can do besides just move on from phone. Thanks in advance.

Your comprehensive guide to rooting the NC5 and fixing it if/when something goes wrong :p

To start out I found it very time consuming to find the 'right' information on rooting the NC5 or that it wasn't possible. So I went on the mission to see if i get what was out in the wild to work.

Well I figured it out and I hope this helps!​

Step One: Charge your phone! In the event we need to use Odin to fix a boot-loop/soft-brick.

Step Two: Check your version number. As the title suggests this method is only for Verizon Galaxy S4 NC5!​

(ENABLE USB DEBUGGING AND UNKNOWN SOURCES IN SETTINGS BEFORE PROCEEDING)

Step Three: Time to download the tools we will need to get this done. Place these files on your SD card. This is the only time you will need your computer. CLICK IT> ONE STOP SHOP

Towel Root: Okay, this is version 1 of the app. I know there are newer versions but they don't work and this does so use it. Select and install. Open the app and select 'make it rain', your phone will reboot and base root has been achieved!

Super User: Select and install. Open the app and install the SU binary at the prompt. The app will also ask to disable KNOX, if you do the app might hang. Home button out and try again after a reboot. Eventually it will work though a bit funky at times.

Safe Strap: Select and install. Open the app and select 'install recovery'. After it installs reboot to the recovery by selecting 'reboot to recovery'. When the recovery loads select the backup option and make a backup!

This is our recovery and allows nandroid backups(you should have done this) and flashing of safestrap ROMs. The bootloader is locked on this phone so no flashing of CM11 or any custom kernels. Do some research before you start flashing things!

Well that was easy! Now you have a rooted and safestrapped NC5 S4!

FAQ\INFO

This recovery is BETA and does not support ROM slots. Everything must be done on the STOCK slot. MAKE A BACKUP!

Nandroid backup and restore is working completely with this recovery!

If you remove Samsung Hub auto rotation will break. Attached is the library file that fixes this. Extract libgnustl_shared.so from the attached zip. Copy and paste to System\Lib and change permission to rw-r--r--. I use Root Explorer, though not free is a very good file manager. There are free alternatives on Google Play.

CREDITS DUE!

HASHCODES< Safe Strap!

CHAINFIRE< Super SU!

GEOHOT< Towel Root!​
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Thank you for your work. But I have a few major points to address with this:

1. There is a newer, stable SAFESTRAP out (3.75), this one also supports ROM slots, and doesn't corrupt the Non-HLOS Partition.

2. Version 3 of TowelRoot is out, and alot more stable/clean than Version 1.

3. SAFESTRAP really should be installed after busybox is installed, which you did not recommend.

The Samsung Hub Auto Rotation bug is a very nice find though! Thank you for that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] feefeeboomboom:
Hey thank you! I will update accordingly.

However TowelRootv3 would not root my phone. I tried changing the strings, the app just states the phone isn't supported.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamRwoo:
Greetings!

I hunted around and tried to find recent information on this to no avail, but I apologize if I overlooked it.

I will be picking up a Nexus 6 from Verizon in the near future and I was wondering if it is still advisable to boot the phone/do the initial setup without a SIM card in the phone to avoid the installation of bloatware? I remember reading about this when the phone first came out, but I have no idea if it is still (or ever was) a necessary step. With unlocked bootloader, etc. surely all that stuff can be removed?

Appreciate any guidance!

Edit: Wow my signature--I haven't been on XDA in a long time. I'm actually currently on the LG Revolution because my other phones have all died. It's not the greatest, but the damn thing does still work. Can't wait to upgrade.

Having the sim in it or not wouldnt matter. It still would have i think 2 apks installed. I think that was set up in the coding itself.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t10:
Hi guys,

My GF needs a new phone. G3 looks like an awesome phone on paper. But browsing forums I see people complaining of phone slowing down after a few minutes of usage to almost a crawl. Is it a real issue? Does flashing to CM/Vanilla android fix the issue?

When using the phone non stop how long will each battery last? Will 2 batteries last for the entire day browsing over LTE? i.e. if each battery drains in 4 hours, then answer is no if you commute.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pdj7969:
I've never experienced the slowdown you described. The device has 3GB of RAM, so either those cases were by people who were maxing out the memory by never closing apps, or they were lying. As for battery, I am averaging about 30 hours per charge with 3 hours of screen on time. I don't take any precautions to save battery (Greenify, turning off wifi/data when not in use, power save for anything other than when my phone drops below 15%). This has been my absolute favorite Android phone to date and I've owned it since Day 1.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hollisnh:
2GB ram version received some complaints early on...

Lollipop 5.0 has greatly increased performance and once you debloat it, its really a great phone. My 3GB D850 is lag-free and great battery life. very few phones left that come with manageable size at 5.5", sdcard, and removable battery.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t10:
Thanks guys! Any recomendations on debloat? CM? Vanilla Android? Google Play edition rom?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivasanti:
Hey dude,

Still very happy with my G3, stock rom can get a tiny bit laggy when doing heavy stuff, debloating is just getting rid of the stuff on there you dont need/use - i used systemappremover.

Installing another launcher can work really well too, i tired 6-7 launchers and tested all for speed and found Nova launcher to be the best of the bunch.

Im also running ChupaChup rom 4.2, its based on stock but has been debloated and tweaked, amazing rom.

Good luck.

Tried rooting from boot menu of Phillz recovery, iRoot, vRoot, Mobogeine and Rootmaster. No success.! :crying:

So restored back legend ROM v10.

[MENTION=4790877]avi3230[/MENTION] it's good to see you porting various ROM for the device.

can't we focus on the resolving the issues that we have with existing ROMs instead of porting various much ROMs with just tweaked SystemUI.apk

Android Kitchen and ROM porter will help to port ROMs.

I have seen list of ROMs that you posted in last one month and observed that people view the thread + screenshots but no one even tries that ROMs (except one or two members)

Focusing on Android L will make more members happy than just porting some Chinese ROMS.

I have tried nearly 8 ROMs from this forum till today.

ANSP, Hive, Legend Rom and Alice (old post) are my favorite. I have recovery back up of all these 4 ROMs. I kept restoring based on my Mood every weekend. I am on Legend V10 right now.

Instead of trying new ROM I prefer to modify the needs using xposed modules and other apps. (recently released monsterUI module makes any ROM look like Android L)

I will surely give a another try to L Rom and also Alice Reborn on this weekend.:laugh:

My ext. SD card has stopped being recognized only by TWRP. It is still fully functional for all other apps I use.

If you're not going to use that SD card with the phone anymore then you could format it from recovery, assuming you have a custom recovery installed (be aware, formatting will delete *everything* on the card, not just the android secure folder). In recovery you can do this from the format menu in either CWM or Philz.

If you still want to use it with the phone, you should leave android secure alone. It will just keep coming back anyways.

I accidentally deleted Android_Secure once. Simply sticked the card into my laptop, selected the folder and hit delete. That was before I realized that folder contained files required by apps, even if they're not installed on the MicroSD. Several apps gave 'not installed' even though the icons were there.

Android recreates the folder by itself. If you want to get rid of it to use the card for a different purpose, stick it in a computer and delete the folder.
