[Android Head-Units] qtpie70:
I just installed a Android 4.4.4 Car DVD GPS player in my car (2011 Toyota Venza). Everything is working well, except that I cannot play video from DVD disc in full screen mode. There are always two black bars at the top and bottom of the video (see attached). I know for sure that picture format of the DVD is 16x9, and it plays properly in fullscreen mode with a regular DVD player connected to 1080p TV. However, with the built-in DVD application, there's no option to adjust the screen size of the video to occupy the entire screen (i.e. no black bars).

I've contacted the seller (Witson), and they said that this is by design. There's no way to remove these black bars. All video playbacks from DVD discs will experience either 2 bigger black bars, or 2 smaller black bars. This is very annoying to me since the video playback is not in appropriate aspect ratio (it looks squeezed).

Has anyone else experienced similar issue? Is there anyway to resolve this issue? Can we install another DVD playback app in place of the built0in one? If yes, can I get the APK and instructions on how to replace the existing DVD playback app?

Thanks

Then, open Odin, click PDA then select the tar file in the folder.

Then, on your phone, turn off your phone first, then hold Volume Down + Home key + Power button together. After the screen turns on, press Volume Up, then plug your phone to your PC with a USB cable. Then, on your PC in Odin, press Start.

After finished you can unplug the USB cable then if your phone is broken, they'll not repair for you because you void your warranty after rooting. Download "Triangle Away" from the Play Store (It's not free, but if your network offers network billing, you can buy apps easily) to remove the warranty void that happened after rooting.

This method will definitely trip knox and your warranty will be voided. As far as I know It is not possible to restore 0x0 with triangle way. The only option without tripping knox is kingroot but even that is just a temporary root which will disappear after reboot. Its a one-click-app but it is not working for mine N-910F

Hi guys and thanks for taking the time to read,

I decided to factory reset my note 4 the other day, and no for some reason it will not connect to my service provider at all(T-mobile). I tried inserting the sim card into other phones and they work fine and pick up service. I am not sure what to do. I bought this phone off craigslist a few days ago, so I just wanted to factory reset it to wipe it. It was connecting to my provider and data was working prior to the reset. Another thing I noticed that is my IMEI changed. It was some random 15 number before but now when i check it it is 15 consecutive ones like so : 111111111111111/01

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kully71:
None of those ASUS official 8 ways do solve the root cause of the battery drain issue.

So far I find most interesting way that may really double your battery life is to activate the "Intel Deep Sleep Mode"

Please check at the link (sorry too new to post a link)

-quote Post on 2015/8/11 01:16 | View KLChi's posts -

Hi

I still dare to activate my Zenfone2 deep sleep mode following the process.

Guess what happened? I have no problem with my proximity sensor nor any issue with ZenMotion after 1 week tests.

And the battery saving effect of this deep sleep mode is working like a champ.

I have not yet calculated scientifically but the deep sleep mode at least *doubled* my battery life, which means before activating deep sleep mode I need to recharge every day of even 1/2 day. Now my Zenfone2 could work without charging for more than 1 day or even 2 days under normal use.

Now I have removed all apps related to battery saving like amplify, greenify, battery doctors, etc.

and I don't even need to close any app in startup management and the deep sleep still works and extend my battery life up to 2 days recharging cycle under my normal usage.

Although I find a side(not bad) effect so far is that the file transfer will be "deep slept" (i.e. backup progress stopped at the % where your screen turns off) and it seems the moving activity in the background is deactivated when screen off. But this is not a issue to me as I expect all apps and activities that out of my focus should not keep draining my battery. I can achieve this by stopping unkown/unecessary wakelocks through "xplosed + amplify" but I don't need them anymore as deep sleep mode seems does the same for me.

One thing really does matter to me is that will all notification still works? My test so far shows that by activating the deep sleep mode will not disable any wifi nor 4G signal nor any notification that the apps should normally give you alarms/warnings, especially wake up alarms.

I'd like to really really thank you for your advise.

I think this "intel deep sleep mode" is really a total soultion to the Zenfone 2 battery drain issue and worth a try, at least for me so far.

I don't know if this process also may apply to non-intel cpu android phones which also have the andorid os battery draining bugs.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salvo966:
can you tell me the steps to enable deep spleep mode?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucky4814:
I am a noob bro :angel: but the following tweaks will certainly help u.

I use auto start manager to manage almost all except a few apps like whatsapp and truecaller etc.

Disable wifi scanning and wifi network notification in wifi advanced settings. Our phone's brightness is too much even on the lowest setting so keep it around 25-30% for lower battery drain from display.

Watch out for wakelocks, read the battery graph. I prevented truecaller and playstore from waking up device.

Turn off gps when not using.

Disable asus built in bloatware and certain google apps that u don't use e.g. i dont use google plus, talkback, hangouts and even chrome since these run in background and drain battery.

Google app is also a big culprit. I personally don't use google app and disabling it will make a big difference.

Then use data usage in mobile manager for further tweaks. Avoid 4g/3g when idle.

Mine is a 2gb z00a and i get a decent backup of around 1.5 days with normal usage with calling whatsapp browsing. Intel processor is a battery vamp and this fact can't be changed.

And not to forget after every ota update perform a cache wipe to get rid of conflicting data from previous firmware.

And this intel deep sleep mode is new to me..will also try it.

It happened when I uninstalled the T-Mobile My Account app update.

Tweaksbox had worked flawlessly for a year before that. Now it crashes.

I reinstalled My Account app and restarted the phone and Tweaksbox still says Xposed isnt running.

I've since used Ti Backup to fully uninstall the My Account app.

I've searched everywhere I can think of for an answer and couldnt find anything definitive.

How do I fix this?

Hi,

Is there any way to record phone calls on Orange E650? I tried couple programs, like VITO AudioNotes, but they record only my voice from mic :(
[HTC Vox] paholman:
One quick method, is use the speaker phone, and launch the camera in video recording mode, and start recording the video. It will pick up the audio from the speakerphone.

Perhaps not as good as commercial software out there, but it works :)
[HTC Vox] Menneisyys:
Nope. As has also been pointed out in my articles, the Vox doesn't support call recording (as opposed to some other Smartphone models).

Your best bet is enabling the speakerphone.
[HTC Vox] skellen:
Yes, I was read your article about Vox. But I was not sure, that it doesn't support call recording at all, or there is no software able to capture incoming audio stream in this device.

It does mean, that software to full call recording is impossible to create for this device? :(

Hey guys

got a HTC M9 with cid "O2___102" which won't boot up after stock update.

Phone was not modified yet.

1. Can't unlock bootloader (says: "(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock") - so no way to install custom recovery + custom rom to revive

2. Can't boot into recovery (shows phone with a red exclamation mark but no menu) so no way to factory rest

3. can't find a matching RUU for the "O2___102" CID ...

The UK ones for O2 can be used with the German O2 CID, too. You can find them for example in my Collection of Back-to-Stock Files or on androidRUU. But I'm not sure whether a downgrade from android 5.1 is possible with S-ON. The only confirmed downgrades with S-ON were from 1.32.XXX.15 to 1.32.XXX.8. And from my experiences with Denis Meissner and Amr Nasser I would say that a downgrade isn't possible with S-ON if the first and/or the second number of the actual firmware version differ from the ones of the firmware you want to downgrade to.

Can you flash twrp recovery? If you can, maybe you can flash a stock backup from someone else.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
Yeah, would have suprised me if it worked. As said before even downgrading from 1.40.XXX.X to 1.32.XXX.X seems to be impossible with S-ON. How long did you actually wait until you thought that you phone doesn't boot? The update to android 5.1 and the first boot took around an hour for me. Maybe you just need to wait a little longer. If your phone was unlocked I would suggest you to flash TWRP and use one of my stock backups but...

The only other option I can see right now is trying to find someone who has a java card. With S-OFF you should be able to downgrade with the RUU. (If I remember correctly there were one or two shops advertising their java card services on Android-Hilfe.) This option may not be for free but it should still be cheaper than sending your phone to HTC's repair service or buying a new phone.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zroice:
whats that java card you're talkin about? Never heard of that.

An appropiate RUU with the latest version should theoretically also work, right?

Problem ist that I cant flash anything custom because bootloader locked and I cant get inside the system to enable the bootloader unlock... =( and the thing has a visually broken volume up key for dropping down, so the htc support won't fix it (for free) I fear.. otherwise I would just give it to them since it has not been modified yet. (not my phone ..)

P.S:

OS Version is 2.10.206.2 - thats the latest one right?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
Yes, 2.10.206.2 is the latest version for now. If there were a RUU with your firmware version then using it would be the easiest way to solve your problems. But as far as I know the only existing ones for O2 are for 1.32.206.6 and 1.32.206.15. But with S-OFF you would be able to use the older RUUs, too.

I never used a java card so my knowledge about this topic isn't that outstanding. I know that it is a small, SIM-Card-like looking thing that allows you to S-OFF your phone. Usually they cost several hundred euros/dollars and the number of times you can use them is limited. Since verizon blocks bootloader unlocking these cards are the only option if a verizon users wants to flash anything on his/her phone. Some German phone shops offered S-OFF by java card, too, before sunshine got updated for the M9. That's why I gave you the link to Android-Hilfe. (And that's actually all I know about that topic.)
