[LG G2 Mini] bewell:
hey guys,

so I got the Lollipop update in my LG G2 Mini, just one "minor" detail. It drains the battery like super-fast. Previously it would easily live two days with moderate usage, now just a bit of connecting to wi-fi send few messages and it's already 88%

is somebody experiencing that too?

thanks!
[LG G2 Mini] Kielbek:
After about half month I just noticed that too. Even in deep sleep my battery life is bad. But in my case that can be caused by swap script. It isn't effective. Today I just disabled swap partition and we'll see

Hi All,

I have extracted the apk and edited the file where it was white listing few devices and rest were not.

I am attaching the signed apk for installation. It will work for all devices(:confused: hopefully).

After installation,

Turn off data/wifi network.

Open the app,

Click on the story.

Turn on data and download.

Check if it works and Update the same here.

If it says "the story is not available for the device", force stop, clear data, turn of data and try again.

If that doesn't work, remove the app and wait for the official word from google.

Good luck.

In case anybody wants it, I've applied this to the latest version. You can grab the APK here.

Hi

I have soft bricked (bootloop) my Z1c, I'm sure through my own ignorance and would be grateful for some pointers to get it back up and running

It was running 14.5.A.0.270 with an unlocked bootloader and no root. I cannot boot into Recovery on the phone whatever I try

I can get fastboot access from my Linux PC and have Android SDK and flashtool installed and also have access to a Win7 machine with PC companion and Sony's own Flashtool

There is nothing on the phone I need to keep, indeed a complete wipe and start from scratch is a perfectly acceptable option :good:

Can someone briefly walk me though the steps and point me towards whatever .img recovery and/or boot files I need

Cheers
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Revontheus:
Easy, you have Android SDK installed so simply flash a kernel with recovery ( like CM's default boot.img ) and from that flash a .zip ROM

Just navigate to the fastboot binary and type "fastboot flash boot.img" assuming the kernel name and type is boot.img Make sure your phone is connected in Fastboot mode before you do this
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blinkdog:
Ok

I was getting confused as to what files to look for and was searching everywhere for a recovery.img

I hadn't appreciated that recovery is part of the kernel and hence boot.img would be enough :silly:

Suddenly I am missing some quick toggles, Mobile Data, Mobile Hotspot, and I think Private mode. I searched on Google and saw that Samsung is aware of the issue. I'm assuming there will be an update to fix it at some point.

Does anyone know to fix it now? I am using Clean rom but the toggles were there after the install. I haven't installed anything else before this happened.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndiTails:
Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this, and/or had any solutions - as it's slowly driving me mad.

I do love my M8, but it's getting old and slow running Sense 6/7, and I much prefer the 'pureness' of GPe/CM12.

My phone is SuperCID'd and fully unlocked, and currently flashed the latest RUU for GPe (full firmware) then Candy5 ROM v2.5.5 flashed (based on CM12).

I've tried various Sense firmwares, and other hacked/full GPe firmwares... Bluetooth seems the same on all - works fine on Sense, but not as reliable on non-Sense.

The biggest issue I have is that I have a LG G Watch R and it will disconnect after a few hours, sometimes days, and won't reconnect unless I turn off and on Bluetooth on the phone. Even then it's temporary - I find Wiping Data on com.share.bluetooth makes it stable again for a few more hours/days.

And no, it's not the watch, as if I'm in the car at the same time - that will disconnect and not reconnect either. It's definitely the phone...

Now I generally keep Bluetooth and WiFi on at all times. I only use WiFi at home.

I have noticed it seems to become unreliable if WiFi is on, but hasn't been connected to anything for a while. It's almost like it's "scanning" buffer is full and it's affecting both WiFi and BT (as it's the same chip).

If I keep WiFi off, and only on at Home where it stays connected - my Bluetooth seems really reliable and I don't have an issue.

This isn't a fix, though. As I don't want to have to rely on Llama to switch my WiFi on and off based on my location. Surely a potential battery drain versus just keeping it on at all times.

I've tried a Tasker task to wipe com.share.bluetooth every couple of hours, but it didn't fix it. Would still die beforehand.

I've tried various GPe ROMs, and CM12 ROMs - all as Clean Flashes and not restoring Bluetooth data in Titanium Backup (I only restore user aps + data).

Just wondered if anyone had any ideas!!

Thanks for reading.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zacpod:
I'm having the exact same issue.

Gpe and sense work fine, but cm12,1 just won't stay connected to my car or watch. Very frustrating.

I really want to run cm as my daily driver, but it's totally incapable of keeping Bluetooth up. :(

Is anyone running cm 12.1 and has working Bluetooth? If so, can you let us know which radio firmware you're using?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zacpod:
I took a stab in the dark and applied firmware 4.16.401.10. So far my watch's connection has been solid. Still haven't tested the car, but will test today. Hopefully it'll be stable - if it is then I'll finally be able to use CM as my daily driver! :D
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zacpod:
Full commute without Bluetooth disconnecting from my car, and I've had a solid connection to my watch for over 24 hrs! WOOOOOOOT!!!!

4.16.401.10 is the trick. Anyone having Bluetooth issues on CM12.1 should go download and apply the firmware. (must be s-off, obvs.)

Firmware is here (courtesy of Mike1986 of ARHD fame)

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therealgiblet:
I just saw this on another forum:

....You are limited to 24, 50 and 60Hz Output refresh rates with AMlogic and Rockchip devices. 60Hz only on the Amazon Fire TV + Stick and even the new NVIDIA Shield believe it or not. Although Frame rate switching is a built in feature of the new Android 5.0 Lollipop OS

In Kodi 15.0 Isengard – Beta 2 - they have a new option:

Refresh rate switching and 4K Playback on Android - One of the limitations of the Android platforms always was that it wasn’t capable of switching your screen to the same refresh-rate as the current playing video. This could cause a slight video stutter occasionally as video frames had to be duplicated to keep audio in sync. Since Android 5.0 there’s at least a way to set the preferred refresh-rate of the video output that could solve several of these problems.

Can I assume that the AFTV still doesn't support (hardware limitation) 23.976/24fps or has it been or can it be added?

If not mines going straight back - I'll just refuse delivery - as all my files are 23.976fps which my WDTV Live plays fine and has done for the last 5 years.

I can't stand the stutter when playback of source material is different from the encoded frame rate.

Fingers crossed... the AFTV looked perfect apart from that LITTLE problem.... :)

Strange thing is there are hardly any posts about this - so either people don't notice the stutter or are putting up with it. Very strange.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaksbeer:
24fps videos will stutter on the FTV, output is either 50hz or 60hz. Many people won't notice or modern TV will somewhat compensate. I think it is terrible. As u mentioned, starting android 5, it is possible in theory. I doubt that amazon will update from KK to LP
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkenhimer:
The Fire TV does not run KitKat, it runs Jellybean. Hopefully the will update to KitKat soon.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaksbeer:
correct, sorry for that.

But good news, Android 5 is coming! https://developer.amazon.com/public...10/Announcing-the-Fire-OS-5-Developer-Preview

Hopes up ?!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TROJAN4EVR:
Her'e's the relevant part of the article:

"June 19, 2015

Mike Hines

Annoucements, Fire Tablets

Starting today, developers have the opportunity to participate in a Developer Preview of Fire OS 5, the next generation Android-based operating system that powers Fire tablets, Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick. And because Fire OS 5 is based on Android Lollipop, we can make this update while preserving even more compatibility with existing Android apps than ever before. This means that even more of your apps should work on Fire devices with no additional engineering effort. "
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therealgiblet:
So does this mean if it gets OS 5 based on Lollipop, that the 24fps frame rate playback will be an option or is it impossible due to the hardware limitations of the chip used in the Amazon Fire TV?

System on Chip (SoC) Platform	Qualcomm Snapdragon ARMv7

CPU	Qualcomm Quad Core Krait 300, up to 1.7 GHz, 2MB L2 Cache (APQ8064)

GPU	Qualcomm Adreno 320, 400 MHz

PS I have the AFTV sitting here next to me all nicely wrapped up (delivered to my neighbour so couldn't refuse delivery) - but if 24fps is going to be supported I will hold onto it! If not it's going back on Monday. :0
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkenhimer:
Not good news at all. The Fire TV is still running Fire OS 3 and the Fire Tabets have been running Android 4.4 for 8 months, so if thats any indication, it will be a very very long time before the Fire TV is running Android Lollipop. The Fire TV has continued to run Jellybean for 8 months while the Fire tablet has been running KitKat, so expect the same after Lollipop is released for the tablets. Around a year after the Fire Tablet gets Fire OS 5 then the Fire TV should be getting it. Even the Fire Phone has been running KitKat for two months. Its clear that Amazon sees the Fire Tablet and Fire Phone as being more important that the fire TV, which is understandable, because they are mobile and can be used anywhere. I think thats the same reason why Apple said the Apple TV was just a hobby, cause it can be used in your home or a hotel room, while the iphone and ipad could be used everywhere. So like I said, if the past is an indication, which in most cases is, the Fire TV being upgraded to Fire OS 5 is a long way off.

Dear all,

Due to the proliferation of new ROM's, the Wizard forum is in need of a bit of housekeeping. The mods cannot do this alone, so we are asking for your help.

1) The four most used kitchens have been stickied for the moment and questions regarding any ROM's you cook based on these kitchens should be posted in the appropriate thread. Please do not start a separate thread. Anichillus Core Professional kitchen is also found in the Development and Hacking forum since it is used for multiple devices and is beyond the scope of many basic users. Users beware. I may de-sticky the kitchens upon further discussions with the mods, but right now the structure will stand as it is.

2) On the same note, I'm asking for kitchen authors to notify me or other mods concerning useless posts in these threads (e.g. Why didn't you include "x" application? or posts that are inflammatory or non-technical in nature). They will promptly be deleted as we shouldn't have to wade through 20 posts of BS to get to relevant tech info.

3) All of the kitchens stickied are based wholly or in part on Bepe's tools and are of the same basic architecture. Therefore no more kitchens will be stickied unless they are truly unique or offer a substantially more comprehensive interface.

4) Also, it's sometimes better for a lot of people to refine one ROM than for a few people to refine a lot of ROM's. I know there are a thousand aspiring cooks out there right now since the kitchens have been released. You may be tempted to release your own ROM to the masses either because you think it's a great ROM or because you want to be known around the board. Resist the temptation. Unless your ROM offers a very innovative user experience (e.g. Touch), it is not likely to get a huge following and might just cause more confusion for the non-developers on this board, you might do better to try to collaborate with some fellow developers in creating a very good ROM.

5) MOST IMPORTANTLY (and you know who I'm talking to). Some people have repeatedly posted in this forum despite the fact that their posts had nothing to do with Windows Mobile 6 specific issues on the Wizard (i.e "My Herald..." or ("Do you have this software from a Nokia?"). We will issue 3 warnings through PM's but after that you might be up for a temporary ban. This will only happen if you're a repeat offender. Heck we've all posted in the wrong place at one point or another. If possible we may move the post to a more appropriate location but it would save everyone a lot of work and aggravation if the posts are made in the correct forum.

I hope this helps a bit. If you have suggestions for how we can make this place better, please air them here. If you have a complaint with a mod, please PM me first. I don't like public conflict and most of you don't either.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nothin:

btw.

upgrade forum to allow people REMOVE own posts/topics, first.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
I agree that a strong hand is needed. For this i suggest that there should be a special part in the forum where to move threads that have no replies for hmm...30 days ...?

I don't know too much stuff about forums but i think that would mean a nasty job for you guys so...just a suggestion. Or better...delete them or move them to an sort of recycle bin.

Regarding switching to a new upgraded forum, i think that would be an immense hard work also and it will leave the community off line for few days. It may be needed to come to that soon but that's not a big problem.

But i agree that allowing people to delete their own posts would be nice. But on the other hand, considering hours i spent here reading, i kinda got used to this look :)

I will PM you with posts to delete but beware that i may be more strict than you :) and i don't want to waste your time...so i will filter myself.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] shantzg001:
And one more thing to add to this. The original "Wizard" forum has some sort of bug because whenever you open it, there arent more than two pages in it, so older posts are mysteriously made invisible though the front page at forums.xda-developers.com shows that number of threads in it are in thousands..maybe users dont post the general questions there because they think (or know) that if they dont get a reply within a day, their post is going to go into oblivion and not be answered...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
You are reading this wrong. I had about four or five posters who after two or three moved threads and a couple of PM's continued to post totally irrelevant posts in the Wizard Mobile 6 thread. I this was aimed at repeat offenders and not at the occasional screwup. By they way, you can modify your post or ask a mod to move it if you like. Not a big deal.

I'm not trying to be a jerk at all, but I'm not trying to be nice either. I just see the same old builds with different package combo's that anyone could make with the kitchen and a little ingenuity. However, folks like Zoki and the-equinoxe have done some fine things with the touch software that are truly innovative and add substance to the user experience. I for one have partially adapted the T-Mobile wing OEM package to the Wizard (yes camera too, but the image is transposed and my-faves doesn't work). That's true ROM cooking and not just throwing a few packages into a cooker and presto.

It is not "us" against them. It's those who have a bit more experience actually doing our best to take this forum up another level instead of settling for ssdd.

I disagree. There is history and things that can be found in those threads... Unless XDA-Developers is hurting for space, what is actually removed needs to be really determined that it isn't something that may help. I just did a Google search (I've given up trying to use the search here, easier to use Google's advanced searching techniques in most cases) and found an answer in the original Crossbow thread from January. Just deleting stuff because its "Old" is a bad idea IMO... Getting rid of the hundreds of "Help, I bricked my phone!" threads is even questionable as I wonder how many people have fixed a phone due to those and never posted anything here...

Remember there area a LOT of people that read and never post here. Yeah, it gets old answering the same questions over and over again (so I've taken the route where I've quit answering some of those.

I agree with both you and mfrazzz.

What if someone doesn't want to use the latest version of a ROM, they don't like some changes or whatever, they will need those older threads for reference material. Also I notice lots of people asking questions, only to be referred to older threads. There isn't any use reinventing the wheel so to speak.

I think a good idea would be for developers (or just real supportive people) to make kind of an FAQ for some of these older versions, a "best of" list of questions and answers. It can be posted in the forum, it can be on some website somewhere, or in the XDA FTP, whatever. Not only would it give people a good place to refer to, but it might also eventually lead to a cut-down of basically the same questions.

Only then would I think removing older threads be a good idea. I know that wasn't entirely the point of this thread, but hey, mr smart guy back there decided to take a shot so I am too. I for one am right in there with him, I think its THE MAN against US. Oh yes, yes it is. oh noes. <3
