[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottfree1:
I'm running debian with linux deploy on a external hd, and android is constantly (seems to be every reboot or usb reconnect) it changes the name of the usb drive by adding/removing a (1). This prevents linux deploy from being able to find its img file and auto-starting, any ideas on how to set a fixed name?

On a sidebar I have a smsc7500 1gb usb net card and it needs a driver installed to work, from terminal (insmod /system/lib/modules/smsc75xx.ko) loads it no problem, but apparently init.rc is running from initrd as a ram disk, so adding the insmod cmd to init.rc is not persistent, I've tried scriptmanager and .sh files (getting a strange "syntax error" unexpected (/4) not sure what's up wit dat) anyone have a simpler way than breaking into initrd and making changes there to auto-load a module?

Are there any mobile messenger application that can run Yahoo messenger other than Agile or IM+... freewares? My agile trial expired and i dont have any credit card to buy the full version (even tho its not that expensive anyway)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bebox:
try java applet from mig33.com or nimbuzz.com

Forgive my idiocy, but was Agile at some point "free"? And when did it become not free?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] st3v3:
agile was free for ages, they called it a trial but it never expired.

noticed it wasnt about 6 months ago or so i guess they decided to start trying to charge people for it.

also try http://www.ebuddy.com/ which is a web based messenger app allows MSN and yahoo on most wap enabled mobiles.

i still prefer IM+ but thats not free.

You have to decide if you want lost data and a working device or lost data and a non working device.

Usually, when this situation occurs, those are the only options. A factory reset may restore your device, but you lose all your data.

Then I installed Xhalofloatingwindow not knowing there was a different version for lollipop, and when I activated and rebooted my phone for the mod to take place a message saying system ui failure the message wouldn't go away so I rebooted my phone, and now its in a boot loop. I have entered CWM and wiped dalvik cache, wipe cache, wipe memory, and factory data rested and tried rebooting but nothing works.

I have a Verizon Galaxy S6. Firmware OE2 Lollipop. It appears that the quick setting toggles are used for backlighting shapes only. And only the "Off" png files are used. If I insert custom toggle icons to replace the stock ones, only the shapes show up in the panel but the shapes are replaced with a solid color rather than the actual png file images themselves. How can I get it to use the actual icons?

[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meatwad12:
I had taken over a thread in the General Forum (regarding rooting 4.5.4) to discuss this issue because I thought it was related to root, but after further work I don't think that to be the case. Anyway, here is where this stands:

When I open the amazon instant video app everything loads properly. Recently played, watchlists, prime videos, etc. Whenever I tap a video to watch via streaming or attempt to download I receive the error LICENSE_ERROR. I followed all of amazon's instructions to try and resolve this including: 1) clear app cache and clear app data. 2) Deregister and reregister device and 3) factory data reset. None of these solved the issue.

I contacted amazon again today regarding this and they escalated this and they said they will email me within 24-48 hours with a proposed resolution. If anyone has had this issue and figured out how to resolve it please let me know. Otherwise, I'll continue the process with amazon. Thanks.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgNewb:
I have the exact same problem. I even completely uprooted and it did not fix. After about 30 minutes on the phone, they are sending me a new tablet.

It works fine in the 5.2 developer build, but not in 4.5.3 or 4.5.4. I have cycled a couple times to confirm. I even tried sideloading older versions of the apk. Some versions crash, some give the error. I also tried all the steps you did.

It must be a key issue on amazon side, why does it work in lollipop but not stock even when fresh (wiped all partitions) ?

I would have stayed on the preview, but skype was not working for me.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bibikalka:
Wow, this sounds crazy. Did it ever work for you guys before you got root?

It just seems that if you replace everything by stock, the Video should work. A way to do this is to install 4.5.2 via TWRP, replace TWRP with the standard recovery, and then trigger a regular update to 4.5.3 by putting the file on the device. This way it'll be full 4.5.3 stock, updated via the proper procedures. This should be fairly quick to do.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
4.5.4 to stock unrooted 4.5.3?

Wondered how to do this. Won't, but want to learn, so I have some questions.

- "install 4.5.2 via TWRP": Take /recovery out of 4.5.2 bin, zip the rest and then flash with twrp?

- "replace TWRP with the standard recovery": How? Not with TWRP, right? Think you said twrp won't write over itself.

- "trigger a regular update to 4.5.3 by putting the file on the device": Put 4.5.3 bin into /cache and update through settings?

(idk. Maybe you already posted this. If yes, sorry :) )

Thank you!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgNewb:
It did work before root. But I don't remember if it ever worked with root.

I did 5.2, back to 4.5.3 via the adb method in the downgrade thread. Didn't work. Let upgrade to 4.5.4, still didn't work. I will try going back to 4.5.2, I didn't think of that. It sounds like from DoLooper's post it is beyond my capability. Can I just push 4.5.2 from 5.2 like I did before?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bibikalka:
Yep, if you downgrade from 5.2.0, and do a factory reset, you should have the full stock. That's actually simpler, than messing with TWRP. Everything is overwritten, I cannot think of what survives. Unless, there are some partitions where it "remembers" that you had root at some point.

Also, if Video works in 5.2.0, but not in stock 4.5.3 when you downgrade, I wonder why ...

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

It looks like TWRP blocks recovery update (by disabling the scripts), so there is even no need to remove recovery files. It's possible to flash over recovery partition in TWRP, I tried this already, and it worked without errors. For testing, I flashed TWRP on top of TWRP. It runs from memory, so overwriting it is OK.

[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meatwad12:
Sorry, I was MIA on my own topic here for awhile.

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one having the issue. I also went to the developer build, but I didn't try to get back to it to see if it works. I wonder if something there triggered the app to stop working? Regardless, I do know it was working before that because I watched a few shows when I first got the tablet. Ever since I went root upgrades, downgrades, etc. was when I had the problem.

So, similar to the other poster I worked with Amazon to get a new device. My question for anyone who has returned a Fire HD before is whether or not I need to get everything fully back to stock before I send to them or they'll "know" I rooted and voided warranty. If so I'll follow the guide posted elsewhere in this thread before I send it back. Good feedback, thanks for everyone's help.

Any chance the metal plate can fit inside the stock phone, by taking off the back of the phone and putting the plate right where the NFC sticker is?

[G4 Accessories] sharpehenry:
I know modern cell phones use magnetic free parts now, I was still afraid to try this on G4 thinking it might ruin display or camera function.

I think I'll give it a go.
[G4 Accessories] KingFatty:
Success - I was able to fit the very thin metal plate (from a similar CD-slot magnetic mount) right inside the phone, between the battery and the back cover. I'm using a black leather back cover.

I think the thin metal plate might be thinner than the wireless charging sticker, but I don't have a sticker to compare. It's just that the metal plate did not seem to make the back plate much tighter? Also, the metal plate is smaller than the rectangle formed by the NFC antenna, so it does not overlap with the contacts inside.
[G4 Accessories] daniel06gt:
Can you take some pics and/or video to show the results, how it looks and how well it stays in your car?

Since our back is curved and all don't see how well it can stay without slipping and falling from the adapter.

No, anything you would normally worry about is solid state in this phone.

[G4 Accessories] okpgreg:
I bought this for both my wife and myself. My wife the AC vent one, and the cd insert one for me. The metal it comes with fits under both plastic and leather cases, and my phone still charges wirelessly fine as well. they stay mounted pretty damn well. Portrait mode is a little more stable than landscape. Landscape if the balance is off much it will be more susceptible to rotating a little when you hit pot holes. My only negative comment about these is that I feel that I have to be delicate when tapping the phone when it's mounted. Other than that I love these.
[G4 Accessories] KingFatty:
Yeah I'm loving my mount. I'll try to find an old phone to take some pictures and videos of how it looks and mounts/works in the car. It just really blends in nicely with everything, and is stable and strong despite the curved back it really grips.
[G4 Accessories] jack-five:
so cool
[G4 Accessories] KingFatty:
Ok the following video and photos were *NOT* taken by an LG G4. Here's the video of me showing the LG G4 with leather back, no case, using the magnetic car air vent mount.

The video demonstrates how the phone is stable and stationary when using the screen to tap/scroll etc., and I also hit the phone kind of hard to show how it might wiggle with extreme bumps and still remain stable. When I use the phone, tapping the screen to wake or sleep the screen is just so awesome and easy, because I don't have to fiddle with any physical buttons. Also tapping and sliding around doesn't disturb the phone, the mount is very secure even though the phone back is curved. It might be partially due to the rubber mount gripping onto the thread stitching on the leather back? It's a good solid grip.

Video link:

https://goo.gl/photos/t9xj6wWnj63T21yz5

Here are pictures of the installation. Notice that the battery is slightly too thin for its receptacle in the phone's housing, so that the sides of the plastic housing extend higher up beyond the edge of the battery by a couple millimeters or so. The metal plate is still thinner than this extra space, and fits nicely within the footprint of the battery with a little room to spare. I put my metal plate kind of low, due to how low I position the magnet mount on my vent. The mount is sold with a smaller circular plate too, but I like this bigger rectangular plate to have more margin for error when you align it:

The phone is as thin as usual, no difference in appearance with the metal plate installed between the battery and the leather backplate (I still have the OEM NFC antenna in place, and there is still room for the metal plate easily):

Here is the position I use for the magnet mount on the A/C vent. I also partially closed the airflow for the vent, so there is just enough coming out to keep the phone nice and cool, without overdoing it. If I put the mount on the next higher position, the rubber mount just touches the adjuster tab and locks the vent at a specific angle up/down and left/right. So putting the magnet mount on the lower vent vane position gives me more flexibility in the phone angle (both for the up/down angle and the left/right angle):

I wonder if it works fine with the QI sticker.
[G4 Accessories] okpgreg:
It does for me and I have the qi sticker.

Funny thing is every once and an while it will act like I have a quick circle case on for a split second because those use magnets as well. It's only for less than a second on the initial placement to mount it but that's it.
[G4 Accessories] vegetaleb:
What about the sticky pads? I am using them for 3 years with my htc phones and they stick like glue on them even landscape. Though it will be better with the plastic G4 than leather
[G4 Accessories] sharpehenry:
well, while the magnet won't damaging any of the phone components I still want to avoid the camera area. right next to it there is a gyroscope or whatever you want to call it and magnet does pull it. every time when you swipe magnet through it, you'd hear clicking noise like ball rolling inside.

and it is strong! even dirt roads can't even knock this phone out of its mount. just make sure to put metal sheet in the center of the phone, otherwise it will spin around, so don't make it top heavy. square sheet held my phone better than circle one.
[G4 Accessories] DjCalvin:
This is what killed my M8's camera.., be warned.

The magnet constantly pulling on the camera. every time you'd put the phone onto the magnetic dock it would go out of focus then all squiggly like an old UHF tv signal. Finally killed the camera so I couldn't take a picture.
[G4 Accessories] Sir Shark:
So just got mine - a generic chinese from Ebay.

It just won't hold my G4 with leather back.

I guess it's because of the curved back and the stiching sticking out, making for a smaller area of contact.

Someone said a few posts ago that it worked great. Maybe the magnet on his was more powerful...

Tried it inside an ultra thin transparent case and it felt more secure - the case was flattened by the metal piece inside, increasing the area of contact.

As I want to keep the leather back naked, I'll have to find another mount....
[G4 Accessories] KingFatty:
Hmm, that's interesting, could you take a picture showing how yours grips onto the leather back? I'll post a picture showing mine - it's a really strong grip for me, so maybe you are on to something with the possibility of different vendors using different types/numbers of magnets in the rubber vent mount? I'll pull the rubber off my vent mount and look how many/type of magnets are in the mount, could you do the same?

Another possibility is maybe when you put your phone up to the vent mount, your metal plate is not fully centered over the magnet, maybe try moving the phone upward or downward to see if the grip increases?
