Looks like this update broke my screen casting ability to my mk808b. That's a deal breaker and I'll be odin flashing back to kitkat and disabling ota. If I can't cast to my stick device then o can't keep the update :/

Camera will not focus after OTA

Hi all! anybody having issue with the camera focusing after the latest OTA. This is horrible... LOL!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ILuvRice:
I had bad focusing issues after the upgrade (with factory reset). I would have to look at something else to get it to focus and then go back to what I wanted to take a picture. Talked to a Samsung guy I know at best buy and he said to go into camera settings and reset them to default. Tried that and it does seem to focus quicker now.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ssrtist:
EDIT: with Davey126's stock recovery file, my problem is solved. Thanks!!

Hi xda!

Long time follower here. Wanna thank all the people here for the great work and help to the android community.

On to my issue, I can't get into stock recovery now. If I flash safestrap, I can boot to recovery, but not when I uninstall safestrap.

This is what happened: I was on Thor 13.3.2.5 rooted. I downgraded to 13.3.1.0 then 13.3.2.3.2 rooted (backed up), then left OTA on. When I came back to it, it was in a boot loop. I powered off and back on holding power button, now it boots to 13.3.2.5! And when I check version, it says 13.4.1.1 available. But the update always fails because the HDX never goes into stock recovery.

I then reinstalled safestrap and restored. Now I am running 13.3.2.3.2 but can't boot to stock recovery.

Question: 1) where and how do I get the recovery image? 2) can I use the recovery image for Apollo?

Thanks very much in advance.

ssrtist
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Don't use an Apollo recovery. While I have no direct evidence it won't work the risk seems unacceptable given you only have partial control of your device and (probably) a locked bootloader.

Stock 13.3.2.6 recovery here. I have been told there were no changes from 3.2.5. You can use flashify to install it.

Obviously there is risk associated with this approach. Might want to wait a day or two for additional responses to see what others think.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ssrtist:
Thanks! So I don't actually need to go to 13.3.2.3.2? Also, did I downgrade the recovery when I downgraded the stock rom?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
A previous post suggested you are already at 3.2.3. Bit confused regarding your question. Not sure what happened to your recovery during the previous rollbacks/upgrades. I have seen something similar happen to folks who have installed twrp then upgrade past 3.2.3.

What's your objective? Are you looking to run CM11/12 or stick with rooted stock? If the former you'll need to rollback again (if not already on 3.2.3), block OTA and then install native twrp. Once you have a working recovery you should uninstall safestrap before beginning the rollback process. Safestrap isn't part of the equation going forward.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ssrtist:
I think that's what I did ?

My goal is to try both cm12 and rooted 4.5.2. (Separately). Is flashing 3.2.6 recovery the way to go?

Thanks?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Depends where you are now. If on rooted 13.3.2.3 then you should be able to flash twrp directly after getting rid of SafeStrap. Note there is now a recommendation to unlock your bootloader before installing twrp but that seems to be optional (bootloader unlocking is not for the faint of heart). You can then install CM11/12.

If currently above 3.2.3 then you need to get a working recover before taking next steps. Flashing 3.2.6 recovery seems to be a reasonable choice but as previously noted there is risk associated with this approach. Assuming it works you then need to start the rollback process all over again.

4.5.2 is an entirely different beast. Still need to get a working recovery before upgrading unless you flash it directly via adb which is risky.

Without an unlocked bootloader anything you do can lead to an unrecoverable brick. Make sure you think ahead and read up on others experiences before proceeding.

Thanks Davey!! Your answers are very informative! I will read a bit more before i tackling the bootloader...

Does it stop charging once the battery hits 100%?

Is it good for the battery in the long run? (by that I mean a year as I anyways upgrade to the next flagship).
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] flu13:
I'm not positive yet, but I do believe that it stops when it hits 100. I'm not sure if it will kick back on at some point, or not.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Sarmo94:
I have the pad and it turns off when it hits 100%, the light turns green and it shuts off. I'm unsure if it turns back on at some point but I picked up my phone in the morning and it was at 95% and the charger was off, so there's that.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] muzicman82:
Yeah, I've noticed my phone is never 100% when I pick it up in the morning after using wireless charging. I guess it shuts off and doesn't kick on. I wonder if an AutomateIt rule could fix this or if the charger pad itself needs to see the phone go away and come back.
[Nexus 6  General] drx69:
just bought an unlocked nexus6 from google play. Cut down my sim and vola! full functionality on verizon. what surprised me though, it is the same physical dimensions as my note 2, just a lot more screen and no physical buttons. So I feel right at home. I am having ADD trying to figure out which rom to go with... but that is part of the fun. For those who are wondering, i can go back and forth between the two on verizon just moving the sim card. Nice having that option now.

Now off to play with roms. :cyclops:
[Nexus 6  General] Flyer66:
I'm also looking to get a N6 from Google Play and activate on VZN. I currently have the Note 3 which was purchased as a subsidized phone on Verizon almost 1.5 years ago. I'm eligible now to upgrade early via the "Edge" program, but I'd prefer a 64GB N6 vice the current 32GB model that VZN sells.

The problem is that any N6 not purchased directly through Verizon will show up as a "non-Verizon device" on your account, even if you cut down your current sim card to activate the N6. The N6 will still work just fine on Verizon's network, but if the N6 is the "primary" phone on the account (which mine is), you won't be able to make any changes to your account, nor be able to receive any month to month discounts if previously qualified. Not sure why Verizon won't whitelist the IMEI numbers from all phone's purchased directly from Google or Motorola?? I'm hoping that Verizon will eventually start carrying the 64GB version of the N6, but I'm not holding my breath. :(
[Nexus 6  General] drx69:
However, mine is showing up as Verizon Wireless Nexus 6. I think that only applied if you ordered anywhere else but google play store. Mine is a business account so that may be the difference.

RE: Loving the nexus 6

Hi,

This was a very enlightening post for me, so thank you! Admittedly, I've not been paying much attention to SIM cards and how everything works for quite awhile... hearing that one could literally cut a SIM card to a nano SIM card size was shocking news!

Could you confirm my thinking here based upon your post:

1. I have a business-provided Samsung Galaxy S4 with Verizon Wireless

2. It has the regular SIM card in it.

3. I can go buy a Nexus 6 unlocked from the Google Play store.

4. I can cut my current SIM card into the nano size

5. When I stick my newly trimmed SIM card into the new Nexus 6, it will work

Is that correct? And also, will my Nexus 6 actually work in all areas: voice, data, texts, Internet, etc.?

Thank you!
[Nexus 6  General] joshm.1219:
Yup
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
Uhm, not to contradict the guy who posted before me, BUT, if you have a *regular* sim card, then there are two possible contact pad layouts; 6 contact points, and 8 contact points. On cards with 8 contact points, two actually don't do anything (well, actually FOUR don't do anything), HOWEVER, the pad will be physically larger to make space for those extra two points -- bigger than a nano-sim altogether. If you try to cut through the pads, even if they are not connected pads, you WILL destroy the card. Before you start trimming, make sure that the target size is still big enough that you don't need to cut through the pads.

When you are trimming, I do NOT recommend scissors, because they tend to TWIST the material you are cutting. If you twist the sim card at all, you can crack the card internally (kill it). A good way to trim it is to use a razor sharp knife, like a drywall knife (http://www.amazon.ca/Olfa-5003-Ratchet-Heavy-Duty-Utility/dp/B0006SJAR0) on an anvil or table or other very smooth metal surface with a sharp corner. Place the sim card contact pad facing UP (so you can see where you are cutting) on the anvil at the anvil's corner, and cut with the knife along the corner and perpendicular to the sim card. The anvil corner will both guide the blade, and support the sim card to keep it from bending. It can be easier to take off multiple narrow slices. If you only take off a thin slice, that thin slice will yield much more easily to the blade, allowing it to cut easier, and applying less stress on the part of the card you want to save.

On a Nexus device, I always find it a lot more useful to add repairs on to the factory sysimage. It ends up giving you all the added features you want, without suffering the instability inherent in some hacked together mess that somebody made during his spare time. It is also important to note that the hacker/developer who maintains that image doesn't have the same objectives in mind as you do. So he may focus on a whole set of things that HE wants to work perfectly, meanwhile the thing you need, that is totally broken, stays broken forever.
[Nexus 6  General] drx69:
yea... i need to learn how to do that. I have gotten so used to using Xposed.... I am lost without it. Running alpha2, but it is a big hit or miss.
[Nexus 6  General] drx69:
i bought a nano sim cutter for bout $8 from amazon that worked beautifully. Also came adapters so i could put it back in my note 2 if needed.
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
Or, just buy a sim card cutter for $4 on ebay. ;)

Sure, there are some roms that aren't as stable as stock, but there are some that are very good and work wonderfully. I always install the factory image from scratch, get it all set up the way I want, then do a full image backup via TWRP. Then I go about playing with roms. No harm, no foul.

You are being a bit harsh on the devs who work hard on their roms. You just have to find the right one. If you don't like roms that's fine, but you are not going to talk anyone out of installing them just because you don't use them.
[Nexus 6  General] JPMontana:
Thank you all for your responses. So just one follow-up question to me asking "Will it work?"

So after I trim my Verizon SIM card, everyone says that I should be able to pop it in and the phone will work (Internet, voice, data, blah blah blah.) Okay, great. BUT... will I have to call Verizon and have the phone activated or anything like that?
[Nexus 6  General] Flyer66:
That's very interesting! You're the first one I've heard so far who was able to activate a non-verizon N6 with a currently activated, cut down VZN sim and NOT have it show up on your account as a "non-Verizon device." Up to this point if the N6's IMEI number did not start with 99 (strictly Verizon-branded phones), it would not show as a Verizon device.

There's a rumor that Verizon may start white-listing only the IMEI numbers of N6's coming direct from Google Play only. I guess you're one of the lucky ones! :)
[Nexus 6  General] adrynalyne:
I'd like to see a screenshot of the account overview screen, blocking sensitive info of course.
[Nexus 6  General] Froril:
So long as you trim the sim card properly and don't break it. Once you put the sim card in it should just activate. Calling in should not be necessary

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amartolos:
If you're on a custom recovery + root, then I'm assuming you're no stranger to adb and fastboot commands. You can download the full update (not incremental) from here , unzip, and use the flash-all.sh (or .bat if you're in windows) to flash the full update. You can then flash your custom recovery and superSU after it. You'll probably want to backup your stuff before you do this!

If you're on custom recovery + root because your friend did it for you, go ask your friend! =P

I became a s200 with a broken display. Now I changed the display in the s200 with a display from a s100. Because there are the same specifications. The touchpad is well but the sreen resolution is like 8bit. Have someone a idea :confused: Or is it not possible.

When I take the broken display the color are well! But the touchpad is broken :mad: .

Sorry for my english...

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] asaf85:
the screen on the s100 in a low res one (well, lower then the one on the s200)

try changing between the two digitizers (thouch pad) of the screens, and then you will get a s200 res screen with the working s100 digitizer.

It's really quite easy, you just solder the 4 conectors to the new touchpad and thats alll!!!

Eww, no. Thin bezels are horrible when trying to use the corner of the screen with a case. Another issue with thin bezels is that you would keep tapping the corner of the screen accidentally without a case, a lose-lose scenario.

No stereo speakers, same processor, ugly design... I'm not sure if there is even an improvement with this phone. They all seem inferior and the company seems too focused more on self-boasting rather than listening to the market like HTC does.

Hi All,

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, i couldn't decide where it should live.

My Samsung Galaxy Tab S recently became victim to theft.

I had Avast Anti-Theft installed, rooted and supposedly hard-reset proof.

Unfortunately, a week later, Avast has had no contact with my beloved tablet and it appears the thief got around my anti-theft protection.

I've just got a new one from my insurance payout, and i'm looking for advise on helping to make it as recoverable as possible should this one also go walkies from me.

I've lost faith in Avast Anti-Theft now, as logging in daily to see if it had communicated so I could mark it as lost and wipe the data became a tad soul destroying.

Any tips/ideas?

Thanks!

I just wanted to share this with other owners of the TF300T.

When I was looking for a smooth, fast ROM for my TF300T I had to go thru a few different ones until I found a good one. Well, I found a perfect one!

KatKiss Lollipop ROM !!!

If you have a TF300T, then you gotta try this one!

It runs sooo smooth and fast. It has it's own performance settings so I adjusted to 1500 as the max and it works incredibly well! And of course the Lollipop features are a definite plus!

It's like breathing new life into this transformer pad!

Many of the ROMs only partially work well with the keyboard dock. But with this ROM, it all works!!! Even the pause/play and forward and back buttons works!

So, thank you to timduru and his KatKiss team!

They do such a great job on putting out a quality ROM!

[Transformer TF300T General] lyra888:
Totally agree with you!

I like this ROM too. The only problem I found is that this ROM doesn't support F2FS on /system and /cache partition. It only support F2FS on /data partition. The ROM description doesn't mention this part clearly. I painfully figured it out by myself. T_T
[Transformer TF300T General] nooktablet:
i tried this rom today, pretty good and i appreciate timduru's efforts but it lagged and was slower than slimkat (unofficial) rom. while i prefer lollipop, kitkat still runs faster and because this tablet's hardware is too slow, it runs lollipop really laggy.

you can't format system and cache as f2fs in the first place anyway
[Transformer TF300T General] lyra888:
Actually you can do this, with the latest TWRP 2.8.6.5.
[Transformer TF300T General] nooktablet:
so the recovery is what we use to change file system of the partition?

can you tel me what steps i need to do to convert /system and /cache to f2fs too? also does my favorite rom (slimkat unofficial) supports it?

or does any rom support it?
[Transformer TF300T General] lyra888:
Here is the video instruction:

https://youtu.be/obwJCFzlh4w

I found KatKiss ROM only support /data F2FS format. If I change /system or /cache into F2FS, then the tablet will not boot.
[Transformer TF300T General] sslakkerr:
027 clean install works great

Couldn't agree more with Loochmiester!

I've got the latest ver (027) running w/ dock and it is literally a new tablet now...absolutely no lag! The best part for me is that webpages load quickly! They can be scrolled while loading without hanging up, they load faster, and I don't have the app asking to close because it's taking too long. This used to drive me nuts!

I did have to install #nochromo because the default browser seems to loose the rolling scroll feature on tabs that open from links within another tab. i.e. it only scrolls while your finger is on the screen.

Since some people seem to be having issues w this rom, I'll say that I installed it thru twrp along with gapps-KatKiss-5.1_TF300T_20150601 and gapps-GoogleLauncher_20141122. I used no backup restoration of apps.

one issue I have is that wifi stops working after tablet is in sleep mode for a while; dk how exactly long. just cycle wifi and it's good again.
