full wipe or just update from v2.1 whitout wipe?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asitalon:
Dear [MENTION=458056]pekaka[/MENTION] do you have to wipe dalvick cache first or is something else, before flashing v3? Sorry for the noob question, I've been just flashing the different kernels.

And [MENTION=2611067]mritunjay[/MENTION] which version did you select on v3? On 2.1 I reflashed 677 all covers because 600 all covers did not help me with fast charge.

I installed 3.0 kernel with fast charge , but do i need to turn on fast charge mode somewhere ? It still took about 2 hours charging my phone .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeavyClocker:
Hello everyone. As you know and thanks to pekaka, his kernel includes fast charging feature which means it has a charging current of 1000 mA over the usb. I was wondering if there is any way to increase 1000 mA to 1800-2100 mA. I think that it's a kernel level modification but I wanted to ask.

Thank you everyone. Sorry for my bad english.

Pekaka. In 3.1 looks like we cant have bus memory clock at 600 mhz like 3.0 or 2.1? With the same app i am getting 0.6% / hour battery drain while using 3.1 800mhz. While using 3.0 600 mhz i can get less battery drain. So i think 3.0 600 mhz is better at battery drain ? What do u think?

Awesome work seeing 2100 mah charging , thanks for your hard work pekaka.

There are problem with ondemand governor. It lock the cpu speed at 1600 mhz so draining the battery really fast. Interactive governor working ok like it should.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pekaka:
800MHZ on v3.1 is mif memeroy clock not gpu 800MHZ,that value is stock default,and the gpu settings keep like v3.0,pls select gpu 600 on v3.1 mif 800MHZ during Aroma installation,other kernel 933MHZ is a overclock version.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dojodo:
Thanks for your reply. So if i wanna use as close as stock setting i should use 800 mhz memory clock and 533 mhz for max gpu and 100 mhz for min gpu.

Thanks pekaka. Will do it that way.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dupsatou:
So I already have one FireTV that I bought pretty shortly after it came out. Because of that I was able to prevent it from updating and also was able to root it and unlock it. I've been very happy with this device but I'm looking to acquire a second device and that's my problem. With the state of the FireTV now it seems that it is unrootable and potentially brickable with the way Amazon is treating it. Also, I'm concerned that the future may hold a device that can't have apps sideloaded as well. My primary use for the device is Kodi/XBMC, Netflix, and Plex, though I do have prime and occasionally use prime instant video as well and I pretty much prioritize my use in that order. I suspect if I went with something such as an Amlogic M8 or some other android box that I'd have to give up the Amazon services.

So I guess my question is, how does the FireTV hardware compare to the others? Is it a lot better than something like the M8 box? I'm not really a dev, though I'm extremely comfortable with android flashing and such as well as linux, so I'm also wondering are the devs optimistic that they'll be able to hack around Amazon's attempts to block us? Or is it looking more like a lost cause? I noticed work being done on a CM12 port but if I buy a brand new fire tv that can't be rooted then it would seem I'll be limited in what I can do or flash with it.

I'm looking for opinions or feedback so all thoughts and suggestions are welcomed. Thank you!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sizzlechest:
Of all the android devices, I'd say the FireTV is still the best bang for the buck. The next step up would be a Chromebox running OpenElec, but I haven't attempted it myself.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psycon:
I like my fire tv, but basically use Kodi to watch everything . so all of the features of the actual amazon rom go unused.. Save yourself the money and get a CS918 , box for ~$50 off ebay.. its easily rootable, works on any type TV, has wifi, bluetooth and ethernet.. also has 2 usb ports and an sd micro slot.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
The advantage of Fire TV is the remote which is very nice in touch and has enough buttons for Kodi. I don't know how are the remotes on other similar devices but Nexus Player remote is very bad (hard plastic, very bad in touch and so few buttons).
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dupsatou:
Would that box at least do Netflix? It looks like that box is about 2 years old or so now too.

Does anybody know if you can install the Amazon appstore and then instant video on these other boxes?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
Im all for trying new boxes, but seems right now fire tv is the one to stick with. I say right now because there are new ones coming this year. Imo its not the time to buy.

This new update really improved aftv. I wouldnt worry about them taking away sideloading or kodi.

Yes. Im sure you can sideload prime on the Android tv box but not certain itll be great because those apps are made for tablets. If youre hooked on prime, i dont know of a better option than aftv right now.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psycon:
I do like the fire TV remote, but there are better remotes you can buy for $15-20.. you can have a full remote on one side and full keyboard on the other, with air mouse capabilities.. its still cheaper to get a cs918 and a decent remote.. and still be able to root. have apps such as STB emulator work properly (without external players). play many games with the air mouse or by configuring buttons on the keyboard.

Netflix on those china boxes will be stuck at 480p resolution. You will never get HD with any of those china boxes.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeptic_always:
Side-loading is not going to be blocked. Amazon wants you to be able to do that so every FireTV is a potential dev/test box, and they have instructions on their site showing how to do it.

IMHO, FireTV is currently the best option for what the OP describes. If Amazon Instant Video (Amazon Prime support) makes it to GATV boxes, one of those may be better. The nvidia shield console looks really good, and even the Razer Forge TV looks like an improvement over the Nexus Player. Both of those are expected soon.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calibaan:
If Amazon Prime Streaming is important a original Amazon hardware is still better than a regular Android device with installed app from the store. The point is at least for the german market there are restrictions for movies with a high maturity rating. For e.g. in germany FSK18 movies (I think can be compared to a "NC-17 (Adults Only)" rating in the U.S.) won´t play with the Android app and are blocked since PIN handling is not supported. On Fire TV tablets it is also possible to download many movies for offline use for 48h and this is not possible with the regular Android app.

Concerning the remote the aTV does use a Bluetooth RC and not an Infrared RC so it is possible to hide the aTV for e.g. behind the TV and it is still usable. This is difficult with an IR remote if there is not an external IR eye with a connection cable extension.

aren't most android box's NOTORIOUSLY having over-heating issues.. the reason I went with "firetv" was that reputation.. is this one of e'm that's fine?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psycon:
sure for people that overclock them... my CS918 feels as warm as my fire tv to the touch... I am sure, however that with a more inferior device, there is a higher chance to get a lemon, but you return it in that case..

My point is, if all your doing is buying a fire TV to sideload apps and do things it was never meant to do... why not just buy a device that is easily rootable, and easier to work with., for half the cost.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calibaan:
Most of those cheap Android boxes are based on Rockchip chipsets (similiar to those used in many low cost tablets) which are not really competitive. Of course they are less restricted than the aTV but it is still not good a replacement when you are using Prime streaming or apps which need more power or memory. For me the price was also not an argument since I bought my aTV for 49€. Those Rockchip boxes do cost more from around 59€ to 79€ with a hardware which is poor compared to the aTV. Most of them are sold for e.g. only as 1GB variant which is half of the memory of the aTV and are missing Bluetooth.

So it depends IMHO on the intended use of such a STB and also with the restricted FireOS environment the aTV is a really good Android STB.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psycon:
I beg to differ, inexpensive doesnt mean not as good.

My CS918 works perfectly with Kodi. Its chipset has much more community support, STB emulator works perfectly with it without the need for an external player.. Addon devices such as air remotes work better as it uses default mapping, where the fire tv does not..

To each there own.. if your using amazon services heavily, of course the fire tv is better. but if they are secondary to Kodi, just buy the cheaper box, that has more support, and install the amazon plugin for kodi...

I have mine set to use Kodi as the launcher, added Genesis plugin (set on auto) and set up libraries correctly, added stalker plugin for live tv.. added icon to STB emulator as an alternative, and added an icon to bring up the app list... i never have a reason to leave kodi.. all the media i could ever need and still run any android app, much more smoothly than on a unrootable fire tv...

My $.02

I have a lot of different devices. FTV's, Rokus, Android minipc's, chromecast.. etc.. In my opinion - the FTV's are easily the best value. The hardware is very very snappy, and I think they did a pretty good job in design. I am even a little impressed with the capabilities of the scaled-down FTV Stick.

I have a plex server, and between the plex app on FTV, Netflix, and Amazon Prime, my bases are essentially covered by the stock platform. I do have kodi which I use a lot personally.. I dont make use of all the available streaming tv channels etc in kodi, but Its fun to "tinker". The beautiful thing is, you can do both.. The stock platform is perfect for others in my household who arent into all the gadgetry, but just want to get to their programs and have them play, and I can run Kodi and do my own thing.

There are a few things that I think could be improved. - The remote is small, and all black, which is sleek, but it makes it a little more difficult to locate and manipulate in the dark. The layout isnt as intuitive to the touch as say the Rokus. It also has no loop to attach a lanyard. I would attach a small strap to the remote if I could to help me keep track of it. That thing seems very easy to lose :) These are small nits.. but if your complaints about a device are on this tiny scale, you must be pretty happy with the device overall.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calibaan:
I´ve seen those RK chips for years in several devices beginning from simple MP3 players (look for the hardware internals of some very early Apple iPods...) up to tablets and so on. RK chipsets are widely spread on chinese OEM manufacturers and they are better for e.g. as Sunplus but they were never the best in their range as it is advertized here in this topic. So I did my research and it is not only based on the number of cores or the CPU clock in MHz... Try for e.g. a 1080p H264 movie with a real high bitrate and keep an eye on macroblocking and dropouts....

Of course the FireOS is restricted as I stated myself earlier but for use of Amazon Prime it is still better as pure Android with the poor standalone app from Google Play Store since it does no give full access to everything (no parental lock handling - no action/crime movies with PG17/FSK18 rating). As I also stated earlier in #15 "So it depends IMHO on the intended use of such a STB and also with the restricted FireOS environment the aTV is a really good Android STB. " and thats still what I´m saying.

And for a high perfomance TV box as mediaplayer I wouldn´t go for a Android box due to the 24p problem which also those Minix boxes do have and those can not be extended as DVB VDR since every Android hardware is restricted for e.g. compared to a NUC.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ipse_Tase:
Interesting, nobody mentions the fact that AFTV runs Netflix in Super-HD/Dolby+ ....none of the "generic vanilla devices" does that because of bootloader restrictions enforced by Netflix.

It matters for some (like me...) and this is the reason I bought it to replace a working Ouya.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeptic_always:
You are right, I didn't even think of that. I did mention you get a different, touch-screen designed, Netflix that kinda sucks with a remote, but I forgot about inferior video/sound quality.

So I just wanted to chime in and thank everybody for their opinions and feedback. I've been lurking watching the posts come in since I posted the original question and every response and idea has been appreciated. I have decided to stick with the FireTV for now as the benefits do seem to outweigh the disadvantages for my use for now. I am very interested to see what's coming down the pipe though that could change this market further and provide more options for us in this use.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akashdansinghani:
Hello XDA Community,

I have purchased a Note 4 recently and it is a great device. I had a S5 before, as I got after my upgrade, but got this phone as a gift. I was thinking about selling the phone and keeping the money, but decided to keep the phone and sell the S5 instead. The phone performs great and has lots of storage. The only problem I have is after using it for a while now, I found it very slow. Since this has 3 gigs of ram, I though it would be faster than my S5, which was slow occasionally. I feel reluctant to sell this phone, but forgot the reason why I purchased the phone was because of its IP67 certification (my S3 got water damaged :( ) and was a fine size for me (have small hands). My questions are:

Has anyone encountered slow/choppy experiences with this device (Note 4)?

Is there any program to back up the phone (like all the data, like an iOS backup)?

Does rooting actually void the warranty and you can't retrieve it back (Note 4)?

Is there any way I can extend the internal storage of the S5 with an SD Card (without rooting), so I can store apps and such on there. (I have tried App2SD/Move the SD Card, but I want to use the SD Card as an internal storage device)
