[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Man16:
Hi,

So ive tried BlissPop stable version and temasek's unofficial mod (5.1) and what I have found is that BlissPop is faster than temasek's but I am unhappy with both of these as I get a really hot phone whilst idle/use. I was wondering are there any better roms than these? If not should I stick to KitKat for stability?

I really enjoy the interface of lollipop compared to kitkat which is the main reason I want to have a lollipop rom.

What should I do?

Hi!

I'm trying to build and embedded system based on Beaglebone Black on BBB Android.

I've built the Android image from sources and everything worked flawlessly.

No I need the 20 pins binded to HDMI controller so i added this string

capemgr.disable_partno=BB-BONELT-HDMI,BB-BONELT-HDMIN

to mmcargs into uEnv.txt file (boot partition).

/sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/slots file confirmed that HDMI firmware is not loaded.

Ok, now i have my pins free but zygote refuses to start. I guess SurfaceFlinger can't find a video output device and crashes. This is the log part complaining about that.

Any idea to worksround this problem? I don't need any video output at all so it would be ok to not start surfaceflinger at all, but i can't achieve this without crashing the system.

Thank you in advance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vip_snoopy:
Just wanna start off by saying THANKS to Schaps' effort in the latest ROM, it's great!

I am currently using the 3.30c ROM and replaced the wince.nls and adjusted some font settings for Chinese support. I am also having 2 email accts (imap) setup on it which retrieves email every 15 minutes.

Here comes the problem, once a while the phone will hang, and sometimes it does not wake up from sleep. I tried to take out the storage card to see if it will activate it but it seems like not working.

The main issue I am suspecting is the memory. I think it dies every time I run several programs or have both wifi and bluetooth on, which uses a lot of memory. (oh, also GPRS).

Here are the symptoms:

1. when the GPRS is on but not being used (my emails have finished retrieving from server), I went to comm manager and tried to pair a bluetooth device with serial port, it hung...

2. while the bluetooth is on, I turned on wifi, died......

3. I reset the device, stuck at boot screen.....

4. resetted again, stuck at today screen (but I can see wifi icon is on)

5. took out the battery and stared at it for 5 minutes, put it back in, turn on, working again...

I know there is a program Oxi.. memory release which frees up program memory, but most likely I will not remember to release it once a while. So is there any other solutions? Or is there something to do with the ROM modification (Big Storage)?

Hopefully somebody will come up with a brillian answer. Thanks in advance~~~

Suggestion: You could try backing up all your phone data and media to your PC, factory reset the phone, then install just antutu, 3d mark and your game to see if that makes them score better? Then you can restore the rest of your data and media.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android_adict:
Already did try that and different roms aswell but with same results but once when i tried the tip about DVFS mentioned in this link http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-improve-galaxy-s6-gaming-performance-by-disabling-dvfs-78927/ it gave me a score of 20000 in 3dmark and games also stopped lagging, but only for the first time and now whenever i try that it give's me same ****ty score of 12000, so what should I do now.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
I got 66,272 on Antutu 64 bit and 23,000 on 3d Mark so i'd say something is running on your phone slowing it down.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bushcrafter:
Flagship Killer? I guess we will wait and see.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanagawaben:
I am sure I remember hearing of an interview with an ASUS person where they said that their policy was that their devices would get one major update and be supported for one year. The Zenfone 5 has exceeded that I guess. That said, seems like support for my Memo Pad 7 has ceased after about 6 months, and with only a botched Lollipop 5.0.1 pgrade for WW and JP still stuck with the original Kitkat 4.4.2 (they never bothered with 4.4.4 at all). So who knows what to expect with our Zenfone 2. Hopefully as their flagship device they'll treat it well. I don't really care about getting M, but very much hope they can deliver us a stable, bug-free build of 5.1.1 soon.

I am trying to connect a FireTv box to an older 70" XBR Sony TV with only DVI and component inputs. Can someone direct me what would I need to make this work. Thank you
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harlekinrains:
Nope, because it gets boring pretty quick.

http://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/general/fire-tv-hdmi-to-vga-converter-t3116404

What you didnt do so far.

Look on page 2 of this forum.

Search Amazon for HDMI to component.

Ask how hdcp is handled.

So get your answers from the thread I linked to instead.

Also at some point dragging along people that still dont have HDMI ports gets too bothersome. I dont care how much you spent back then - if people in third world markets have adopted a standard you still are scrambling with, something is very wrong. 70" wasnt economical back then (dont care), and now you want a cheap solution for a problem almost no one else has. Which also isnt economical (from a different POV, and now I care) right now. It will always be a cheap solution, because there is no market for it. Amazingly this means - that there are no consumer grade "brand" products. Amazingly this might also correlate with the fact that you have to strip DRM in order for it to work. Amazingly this means - this just doubled the unlikelyhood for there being branded products.

tldr to is it possible - yes. Even with the copy protection problem.

Translation: Hi - I want illegal, cheap, eastern market converters to degrade my video signal, or strip the audio from the HDMI chain - to facilitate the use of my 10+ year old TV which cost me a small fortune back then. Who is the expert here - that can solve this (partly industry created - see DRM) problem for me? For free.

No, no - thank you.

Chop, chop. Even though Radioshack has gone bankrupt, because the middle of society has turned to the internet to ask their very specific case problem questions - this still doest make this Radioshack. You see - the people you would ask before did get paid to listen to your very interesting case problem, then sell you a gadget. You had value to them, regardless of what you said, because you were a sales target. Question in return, what value do you bring to this forum - with this question?

Especially to those experts who surly would want to help you with your problem.

What you need is an IBM service rep. IBM, where you buy overpriced electronic solutions that will last you for decades. Hint - those are the guys with pocket protectors in a company suit, that still occupy the mental spot of "what electronics as a field is" to probably the majority of an aging society.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bula1ca:
Wow! what a lecture for a simple question and BTW I did not ask you (in special) for any illegal options.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harlekinrains:
And after the rant:

http://www.amazon.com/E-More®-Conve...pebp=1435681310873&perid=0H04E8YTJV3JE9B58KMG

DVI is the better solution, since the video signal doest have to be touched.

Does it work? It should (educated assessment), but I dont care. Is there something better? There is no comparative level also no one would be interested in finding out at that point. Could there be a problem when I... Yes.

Did you really just use the amazon search for me? Yes.

At this point we can stop it - short, but hopefully not entirely uneventful.

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

@bula1ca: Thats the entire problem - you did (ask for an illegal solution).

You just dont care about any of the ramification, about whose support we are "playing" here, about who created the issues along the way (DRM which requires an illegal solution, but dont threat, amazon will gladly sell you one), about prolonging certain behavior models, about what a community is, about what motivates it - and what behavior actually destroys it and so forth

This is the prototypical example of being ignorant (part of that also includes not knowing how exactly) and in the end still getting an answer out of it. You did - but hopefully it wasnt entirely painless.

In short - the industry has abandoned you, some of the problems you are facing are industry created, there is no popular interest whatsoever in answering your question, you didnt bring anything to the table (searching, asking the right questions), your electronics buying and usecycles are adding to the problem and you are mistaking a forum for a support site. Also you want free. Thank you.

So at what point would we both find it easier to ignore this question entirely and behave like it didnt happen? And at what point would this discourage others from, in a very distinct way, abusing this platform?

This is the only cause I'm putting this much effort into answering it. To make people like you realize, that if you treat communities like a zero sum game that do your bidding (Hey, I just searched amazon for you! Doesnt that make you feel grand?), you dont do any of us any good.

If you are ignorant to whats causing problems ("Those hackers will always crack DRM!" "Pirates are bad, mkay") - this causes additional problems in the long run. You have managed to get this far without thinking about DRM. Congratulation - but maybe this should change.

Also - I write fast.

edit: As a further notice, if the solution linked to above doesnt work, the DRM on the FIre TV is to new. Is it? Well, find out. Do some research.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wellersl:
Before I upgraded my amplifier, I did something similar.

This cable will get you from HDMI-out to DVI-in without any perceptible loss in picture quality. I'd offer my old one for the asking, but it's huge and they're cheap. That takes care of the video.

For the audio, you'll need something like this. I used it because my old amp had optical inputs but no HDMI switching. As with the cable, you can have it for the asking, but I'd recommend getting a newer one. The first gen ran hot and the LEDs are blindingly bright (easily fixed with electrical tape :p) But if your old TV has optical inputs, you'd be set.

If your old TV doesn't have optical audio inputs (most only have outputs), it's time to start thinking about HTiB or Home Theater in-a-Box. You can have all my old stuff, but by the time you've paid for the shipping, you can get something newer and shinier.

P.S. Try to ignore the trolls. Eventually, they will get bored and go back to the sandbox.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bula1ca:
Thanks much appreciated, LOL. I had it hocked up with a HDMI to DVI cable (used for my cable box) however I had a very choppy picture when any video played. This box is the basement very close to the router and should not be a wifi problem. BTW I even plugged in a cable direct from my router and no difference in video quality. My 1st unit on the 2nd floor and plays without any issues.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harlekinrains:
"Something like this" is also stripping HDCP - so it is in fact the same solution (HDMI goes into a powered black box, ...). With a unnecessary switch added to it. And you made him/her buy an additional cable that arguably isnt needed. (But thats a minor thing.)

When people would at least be surface educated about DRM (HDCP) in this case "just strip it out using these fine products you find on Amazon" wouldnt be an acceptable answer.

Still there is a faction that thinks that we should ignore that, and find it totally normal that we have to point to illegal applications to solve legacy problems, that this is our function on XDA - and please do that politely and mostly silent - because thats what good product support does. Please be so understanding and you get a LOL out of it in return - for your efforts.

I dont see myself as a product support kind of type. Much.

I have different interests - like talking about issues, when they are so obvious. They cant be ignored.

Luckily some are still willing in assisting you in "buying them away". There is just a little problem to it. There is no guarantee that this will work after the next revision of HDMI, or the one after, or the one...

And as we have established, no one is willing to educate, search, or reflect on the issue at hand.

I insist, that the OP is more of a troll than I ever was, not intentionally, but in effect.

Thank you to everyone participating - especially the members of this community that still think skipping the "learning something" part and getting right to the product endorsement was what was needed in this case.

Also, thats just the "ignoring DRM" part. The selfentitlement in not finding out anything about where the problems lie, and how to circumvent them (thread was on page 2) is an entire different chapter. I've covered that one as well.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bula1ca:
That is enough. No need for you ignorance and sarcasm to a simple question.

When did I request any support from you?

I asked a simple question. Do you really think it is OK with Sony building all these TVs and now we are left behind with no support?

That is the only reason we are looking for a solution so give us a break and go find someone else to irritate with your stupid remarks.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beofotch:
Hello,

I have an Amazon Fire TV Stick that I would like to use in the car. I have an old AT&T 4G LTE Elevate hotspot as well and my head unit is a Pioneer NEX-4000 which has HDMI, 2 USB ports, etc.

One of the USB ports goes to my phone to charge it in its mount. I have the other going to a 4 port Netgear self-powered usb-hub which has the wifi hotspot and the Fire Tv STick plugged into it. Obviously the Fire TV stick is also plugged into the HDMI.

To not drain my car battery, I have taken the battery out of the 4G LTE Elevate Hotspot and just run it on USB. That way when I shut the car off it turns off, as well as the Fire TV stick. However, I think the USB hub is slightly underpowered to run both. The Amazon Fire TV Stick will never restart, but the LTE Elevate Hotspot does intermittently, sometimes 30 seconds after I start the car, other times not until 5 or 10 minutes later. I was thinking to move the Fire TV Stick off this USB and just plug it directly into the cigarette lighter of the car. If I do that, however, it appears it stays on even when the vehicle is off. Is it safe to assume this will ultimately drain the battery if I leave the car off overnight or for a few days? Or does the Fire TV Stick shut-down automatically so as to preserve the battery.

Your thoughts are appreciated!
