1. Kill Google Play services

2. Clear

Data

for Google Play services

3. Clear

Cache

So far haven't got Google FC, will see how it goes :crying:

Hahaha. I tend to agree but there are some things that even some of us that's had Android for years can learn.

Anyways the thread is for everyone in general, not every person on xda is as familiar or know their way around the OS as others.

There's nothing wrong with that as we all started somewhere.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreamae:
Hi, I am needing your help badly.

Earlier today I was running low on battery. I tried to switch it back on as I am waiting for an important message. I left it on at 1% and placed my phone back to my bag. When I checked it for messages, I saw the samsung logo and thought that phone might have rebooted.

After 30minutes, it's still stuck at samsung logo. When i arrived home I plugged it in for charging and tried to switch it off, it won't let me. So i went to recovery. Then I saw an error:

E: could not mount data/data to set up/data/media path!

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

E: can't mount/cache/recovery/last_install

E: can't open/cache/recovery/last_install

I tried to wipe cache/dalvik it was successful but it gives me the error above. I tried to reinstall RR 4.3 but i get an error that says installation aborted.

I tried to backup, it says it can't find a path.

I have not installed any app. Recent activity: installed CM Glass Theme to phone.

I am really lost on what to do now. Would really appreciate your help.

Thank you so much.

if you can't even flash with Odin, then I hope you still have warranty

Not sure about the exact issues with SDS. But I can still see it charge, only when I power on, I'm stuck on Samsung logo. Also, I no longer have warranty :(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Has no one realised yet, that we have none of the major xda developers from the other forums?

IMHO, we've got the best device out there, but we are far from having any decent ROMs or specially tweaked home-brewed apps!

Why? Because most of the developers do not have an Athena and are probably happy with their devices.

I think we should start up a little fund/paypal account to be held by xda-developers for whichever developer takes on our plight of either cooking a special ROM just for our Athena's or other tweaked apps, or even better to get the developer an Athena (via our contributions).

It's all talk unless we do something. I've had most of the best PPC/Phone devices from HTC and I have to say this forum (whilst I love the community spirit an all) is the slowest in terms of development i.e. cooking up ROMs and tweaked apps and that's no disrespect intended to the people here who are already employed in the Industry. I'm no guru, but am willing to donate to get things moving. As far as know, ther's no official WM6 ROM for the Universal, yet there are several WM6 ROMs available for it etc...

Does anybody else share my views or am I barking up the wrong tree here?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] marcoma:
I'm with you... happy to donate if we can get some movement into this space. I'm especially afraid that HTC will release their WM6 and we won't get any help trying to get it onto the AMEO :-)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
We need more support.

Agree with you 100%. If we get enough feedback in this thread, we can put up a request for developers in the news thread and the relevant forums like the Universal & Hermes forums, as between those two devices, they have everything our devices have and the gurus there would know how to overcome the issues we struggle with.

We don't even have a decent dialer cab or WM6 Media player as default. A lot of these apps must be able to be stripped from a WM6 ROM for the VGA Universal, which should work in our devices.

We also need people who are skilled at converting QVGA apps to VGA. I'd do it if I knew how to.

I've got a dumped HTC Touch ROM and a WM6 ROM for both the Hermes and Universal, but I'll be damned if I knew what to do with it other than flashing it to the appropriate device. :(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
See my point....

This explains my thought process a lot better. You know what they say...a picture sometimes tells the story much better:

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fatouraee:
hey i think its a great idea.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fallenczar:
so am i eligible for the free ameo/advantage ??? :)

jokes apart, the reason i guess that not many people are jumping on to ameo is that

a)it is percived to be a big device, not suitable for daily use as a phone

b)it is damn expensive

c)with htc royaly dumping people with older devices (Uni,wizard) and the relative ease with which one can cook different roms (including wm6 roms for it)

d)i think that athena has "missed the bus" had it been released a couple of months earlier then probably soneone would have CID unlocked it and you could have beta tested wm6 roms for it.

i remember that for universal the rom scene really heated up when aku 3.5 was released on newer devices but not for Uni.

also i think the reason why a large no of people got the universal was its large vga screen with a usable keybord and the then newly released wm5,

if you really look at ameo there is really nothing it brings to the table.

if you really want to kick-start ameo's rom development...

get someone to leak the wm6 rom....

and beg/steal/kill for a FREE cid unlock
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] spzero:
i think most would pay for a guaranteed wm6 update and cid unlocker but if we get no where could be a waste especially if there is an ameo update in a few weeks. and if every ameo / athena owner paid £5.00 that would pay 4 a device i assume thay must be hundreds of people with one its a great device assuming you have a headset and you appreciate not having to squint like with the universal.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fallenczar:
apparently lot of people prefer to squint and infact want to squint more (waiting for Omni with wvga in a similar sized screen) :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fallenczar:
did you guys try the spb dialer (the black one )...IMHO it is better than the wm6 one...at leat it supports video call
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] hdbueller:
My eyes are getting too old to squint....LOL.

The unit is an excellent unit with much more potential than we are seeing right now! I agree and would also donate to this cause to get someone who owns one, and is capable of helping us solve some issues.

IMHO, I think that maybe people are waiting for the official release of WM6 by HTC and others for this device before really tearing into it.

Just my .04 cents worth........Later
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] hdbueller:
Yes, the SPB black dialer is so much better than the f-ugly green one!!! Now if I could only find a black comm manager instead of that same f-ugly green one, I would be a happy boy......;)

Later............
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Moskus:
I agree that the Athena is absolutely excellent, and that we need developers.

However, I got the same feeling when I got the TyTN. I'm guessing more beginners and advanced users will pick up a Athena, and if the user count is going up, so is the customizing... ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] apphoen:
I'm more than happy to Paypal money at someone (Can I use Paypal as a verb?), just so I can eventually see a ROM like Black - IV - Shadow running in glorious VGA Landscape on the Athena.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Agree with you on the Black IV Shadow on the Athena. But it's great to see that most of us with an Athena are prepared to do more to get things rolling. Good feedback peeps. Will have to put the word out after the HTC ROM release/update, if it does not prove to be up to scratch, not forsaking CID & Sim unlocking.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] danieletroiano:
I agree with you
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ahmadfarid:
I think most of us is willing to chip in some money considering if each of us have to pay GBP20 for cid unlocking (not including of postage!).

We need to have Gurus here or we will be left behind with all kind of development. But who ?..there are quite a number out there

like apphoen..."I'm more than happy to Paypal money at someone "
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Confucious:
I'm not sure....

The hackers and crackers do it for fun and because they love their device - NOT because they are being paid for it.

I am quite happy to donate to the forum but can you imagine the pressure that would be put on a developer if we'd paid him? There is no perfect WM6 for the Universal but the guys all work for nothing doing a great job.

If people were paying you would get the inevitable - "this doesn't work, what am I paying for, fix it now!" type comments and who wants prssure like that?

I think we are just going to have to wait until one, or preferably more, clever people get their hands on an Athena and start doing it for fun.

I love my Athena - the screen is gorgeous (I am old and don't like squinting either) I'm disappointed with the keyboard compared to the Universal but other than that I love it - but can't wait for a decent WM6!

Just my 2d's worth
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ahmadfarid:
my point is MAYBE this device is quite expensive to some of the developer (no offence), by contributing one or more to our developer hopefully they will bring "live" into our forum..yeah i agree there should be no pressure as they do it for fun..

Hi,

I will be glad paying some money to improve our machine !!!

Do you think the changes should be done over the actua WM5 version we are actually running ? or this should be done over the coming WM6 version ...... I hope some of the know gaps would be fixed on the new one ....

By the way, I understand what SIM unlock means but .... what do you mean by CID unlock ?

Thanks a lot everybody.

Hello xda developers!

I`m having a few issues after i flashed lollipop 23.1.A.1.28 since my device didn`t show any update notification...

First issue is that my phone won`t recognize the OTG cables anymore, and i tried it on another device and it`s ok it`s just my Z3 that no longer recognizes it!

The second issue is video playback, after watching a few videos, doesn`t matter on which app (facebook,youtube) it says that there`s an error trying to play the video... very frustrating... (have to restart phone everytime, deleting cache on apps doesn`t work)

I have to mention that i did as instructed here in a few tutorials and excluded only the .TA files out of the bundle... (it`s a Taiwan by the way, i couldn`t find an israel firmware for my device because it`s D6653 and D6603 is more common)

Thanks in advance, sorry if any mistakes were made in english!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] croulder:
Hey guys! A week ago my phone started bugging, vibrating randomly and playing weird sounds until it turned off (rooted and rom installed, standard kernel). I tried to charge it but was unsuccesful. It simply would not charge nor connect to the pc. After playing with it i managed to get another rom installed. This did not fix the problem though. I believed the battery was the problem so I went and bought a new one, but once again it would not charge. I opened my phone to see if i could see any loose connection or something, but I was not able too see anything faulty. I'm now 100% sure this is a hardware issue, so would i be able to send it to Samsung for warranty-repair even though i have rooted my phone and flashed a different software? Thanks in advance! :D

Lollipop added Opus support. I read the S6 support Opus.

I have an Opus file on my Note 4, but no music player recognizes. Not even Samsung's. Does the OS support it or did Samsung strip out Opus support? Should the file have a certain extension? It's currently ".opus."
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salim.Keady:
Man try PowerAmp music play it supports many extensions

Can you please explain to me what is this Opus ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamiller42:
Opus support is a requested feature of PowerAmp, but he hasn't added it. Apparently, working on PowerAmp engine 2 has taken a lot of his time.

Opus is the next evolution of lossy audio formats. Think mp3->MP4/OGG->Opus. It delivers better sound at lower bitrates while providing smaller files.

https://wiki.xiph.org/OpusFAQ

http://www.opus-codec.org/comparison/

https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/09/its-opus-it-rocks-and-now-its-an-audio-codec-standard/

Disappointing Samsung removed Opus support from Lollipop it seems.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salim.Keady:
I read about it but i didnt understood much... can a normal .mp3 be converted to .opus and have loseless quality ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamiller42:
No. Once in a lossy format, it's always lossy. General advice is to avoid converting between lossy formats like mp3 to Opus. Going from lossless to lossy is fine. I created a collection from my lossless FLAC files to lossy Opus expecting Lollipop to play it because Lollipop can play it, but not Samsung Note 4 version of Lollipop. Grrrr....
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salim.Keady:
Ok soin general

we can lower bitrate but not makenit higher

And from where to download opus song files ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamiller42:
Create them from your library using a tool that can encode Opus. You can use Clementine. I used SoundConverter. http://soundconverter.org/
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salim.Keady:
So i can convert my normal.mp3 to opus and my music will better ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamiller42:
No.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salim.Keady:
I understood nothing

Convert what ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maksharma231:
As kammiler said, convert 'lossless' formats to lossy, lossy to lossy will not help you.

Does anyone know if there is a way to either use an exploit to root the verizon prepaid version, or to alter the outgoing SMS limit without root? Unfortunately, with the non unlockable bootloader, I cannot root the device to modify the SMS limit, and have not seen any information on changing the SMS limit without root. I would be willing to put up a bounty for the ability to root the Verizon prepaid MOTO E, OR a way to alter ym outgoing SMS limit. i purchased it to replace a prepaid samsung illusion I was previously using to send out large volumes of text reminders to clients when their payments are due, but after some testing, it seems even hitting the allow button does not cause all of my texts to go through. At my best estimate, maybe 50% are actually being sent. I am using DRPU bulk SMS to send the messages from a PC.

I doubt it's the usual case of essentially no difference, given the SGP311 has only a handful of generic firmwares compared to xperia devices with mobile radios. It's also the only non-europe firmware available (from what I've read Customized PH is grouped with europe in spite of the geography)

[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] GretaLewd:
Recovery not yet available in lollipop.

Unfortunately, by installing lollipop you loose recovery...so there's no easy way back :(

In a nutshell, you must go back to a kit-kat ROM, root it (e.g. install .283, then install .230 KERNEL ONLY and force towel root from flash tool. Then install 283 KERNEL back) and then install NUTs dual recovery.

More detailed instructions can be found here.
