[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vol4Ever:
Hey all. Not new to android at all, but new to HTC brand. My new friends jollywhitefoot and ielvis helped me get rooted with almost no problem day 1 ownership a couple weeks ago and I haven't had any operational problems. Loving the new phone!

Now my next issue, and luckily the only other one for the moment. Being a historical Sammy owner, my wife & kids gave me an awesome Gear S watch for Father's Day. I did quite a bit of reading and really thought it wasn't a huge deal to make it work on non-Samsung for those of us who understand rooting & file modifying. Almost all of my attempts came from here, especially paying attention to post #'s 212 & 227 as those were referenced tons in the ongoing comments thread.

http://xdaforums.com/gear-s/general/tutorial-install-gear-manager-connect-t2934307

Unfortunately, I simply can't get it to connect at all. I am still within the return window for the watch, but [A] I love it and it was a nice family gift. Has anyone come across a specific set of step-by-step instructions for the latest rev of the M9? I'm guessing there have just been some firmware & OS upgrades over time as that original thread is quite old. Advice??

Thanks again in advance.

Probably best to hang out in that thread. I know from past experience that these kinds of things take time and experimentation. When S-Voice first came out, people were trying to get it to work on other phones, and it would work for a while, then Samsung would patch it so it didn't. Like Apple, they seem to prefer to keep you in their walled garden in they can.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebmar:
Hi.

I had 5.0 GPE installed on my HTC One M8 euro version w/o carrier lock.

I wanted to revert to stock rom and followed this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/guide-restore-european-htc-one-m8-to-t3072235

The phone is S-ON.

I got to step 4.

When i run the RUU wizard, it unpacks and I have to accept the agreement. After this it just exits and nothing more happens. I assumed it did some background stuff so I waited 20 min.

When I try to boot my phone now it is stuck on boot (the circles that dance around) and nothing more happens.

What should I do to get my phone up and running again?

I'm able to start the fastboot menu before the boot up and I have a memory card.

I'm running win10 on my computer but I have access to both win7 and win 8.1 computers.

All help appreciated.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Try running RUU on the Win7 PC. Win8.1 should work too, but Win7 has been less prone to errors, and all bets are off for Win10 (new Windows versions usually don't play well with RUUs).

I've seen the issue before (RUU quits after Terms) and don't know if there was any other solution besides using a different computer.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user91:
They are usually very minor, such as additional pre-installed apps on Operator specific builds (Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile...) that are rarely useful, plus some European builds have 4G instead of LTE or the other way around (no difference in functionality, just two different names for the same thing). However, you can still go with the Customized Italy option, I see that the latest 5.1.1 build is already available for it in XperiFirm.

In the light of recent Google Play Store Error 194, which is facing by quite a number of people and what I was able to determine that this is Google's side problem, I am just curious are there any reliable alternatives for play store.

Wiki:

"Dhrystone is a synthetic computing benchmark program developed in 1984 by Reinhold P. Weicker intended to be representative of system (integer) programming. The Dhrystone grew to become representative of general processor (CPU) performance."

Result: 8078 But how can we compare to other CPUs? Is it using x86_64 arch? Does it have Single-thread performance bench?

p.s: Do not publish it yet, it needs to be polished. e.g. The loading arrow needs to be smaller add some color on a black background. Also, a CPU logo with ice or fire would be nice.

I like the idea though, its a simple, fast and accurate way of benching without heating the phone and waste battery for a long period of time. :good:

Nice to see that 64 bit OS will boost performance and even more if the apps are completely x64 optimized.
[ZenFone 2 General] teknoraver:
The benchmark is single threaded, and is working in 32 bit mode because of this code:

private String detectCpu() {
if(Build.CPU_ABI.startsWith("arm64"))
return "arm64";
if(Build.CPU_ABI.startsWith("arm"))
return "arm";
if(Build.CPU_ABI.startsWith("x86_64"))
return "x86_64";
if(Build.CPU_ABI.startsWith("x86"))
return "x86";
if(Build.CPU_ABI.startsWith("mips64"))
return "mips64";
if(Build.CPU_ABI.startsWith("mips"))
return "mips";

return null;
}

In your firmware Build.CPU_ABI is "x86" so my app ran a 32 bit binary.

I need a way to differentiate between x86 and x86_64, maybe looking for "lm" in /proc/cpuinfo

I'm afraid this new version just crashes on launch on my ZE550ML.
[ZenFone 2 General] teknoraver:
what it does say before crashing?

ABI, arch, etc.?
[ZenFone 2 General] ycavan:
Remember guys, our cpu is x86_64 but the os is 32 bit. A 64 bit application will not run since the libraries are 32 bit.
[ZenFone 2 General] teknoraver:
Really?

I tought that the OS was 64 bit too.

Well, it won't never run in 64 bit mode, until Asus releases a 64 bit ROM for the Zenfone
[ZenFone 2 General] ycavan:
The Android build is aosp_x86-eng, at least that's what Asus builds at the moment.

The kernel is indeed 64 bit, but without corresponding 64 bit libraries ( ie, the video card driver, sound card driver, etc... ) we're running a 32 bit os. ( technically, 36 bit since PAE is enabled so our phones can read the full 4 gigs of ram )
[ZenFone 2 General] teknoraver:
Maybe it would work with a static amd64 binary.

I will make an APK with a static amd64 binary to test it

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkManX4lf:
Probably good idea to update profile and prl before going to cm as you can't do that in cm.

Also get a gps lock in TW then flash cm.

Nandroid before flashing either cm or TW.

It doesnt hurt to wipe system along with data and cache. If you wipe system, make sure you either have a Nandroid or a rom you can flash to boot into your phone.

All these scared people who want others to take every update and try it out first for them (newsflash... no 2 people have exactly the same usage patterns). I'm sure you could tell me every single time someone posted about battery life, etc and how every update has ruined someone. Those are the extreme exception take the risk let it update. Do a full cache wipe after the update, always a good idea anyways, and deal with it.

90% or more of phones that broke via update are user driven issues. "I'm rooted, I use home made charger cables, have 128 gig worth of apps installed, have my screen set to stay on full bright all day long, and keep my phone underwater, and that update is killing my battery life"

Oops, I started a new thread of this without checking if there was one about the July update. :P I guess I'll write my update in this thread.

I noticed that when my Note 4 is idle, all four cores are active and clocked at 300MHz. On the previous update, only two cores were active at 300MHz. Because of this, my phone feels warmer. Does anyone else notice this? I'm not entirely sure if I could state this as an issue. I use CPU-Z to monitor the SOC.

Also, does anyone know how to disable the automatic update? I would like to get notified that an update is available, but I don't want my phone to just update without my permission.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] diablo900t:
I've found somewhat the opposite. Bad battery life before the update (lucky if I got 10 hours total with 2 hours screen time) and now I'm going through 2 full charges a day. Android System is sucking up anywhere from 25-35% of the battery. I have absolutely had it with this phone...I've had bad battery life from day 1. Holding out for 5.1.1, but I think at this point I'm switching back to an iPhone in September, really turned off by how laggy the phone is, GPS constantly losing connection, and the awful battery life. My battery now just dies once it hits 15%, turns off and reboots with 0% and keeps rebooting until the battery is dead completely. Tried factory resets, 1 account syncing, almost every radio turned off.
