[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veerless:
I am looking to use my Fire TV on my computer monitor which does not have built in speakers. I am wondering if using an AUX to USB Cable will work if I plug the aux side into a speaker and the USB into the fire TV. I will also be using a VGA to HDMI to connect the Fire TV to the monitor so if there are errors with that please let me know.

Thanks.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calibaan:
An external USB soundcard needs a driver on the aTV. I doubt there is one preinstalled and it still needs to be compatible, too.

A better solution would be a SP/DIF (TOSLINK) Converter which isn´t expensive and doesn´t need an USB connection and therefore also no driver.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veerless:
I am using a computer monitor for my screen.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calibaan:
It´s not relevant. Connect your monitor via HDMI or HDMI/DVI adapter as before. These TOSLINK digital/analogue adapters are connected to the (optical or electrical) digital SP/DIF sound output and not to HDMI. On the ATV it´s a small square optical connection on the backside situated between LAN and HDMI.

Hi,

I'm completely new to android but I have programming experience and think I can find my way around with a good guide.

I'd like to run cyanogenmod on the LG L3 II e430. I'm running a Mac as a computer. I could use Windows in a virtual machine but would prefer methods using OSX or no computer at all.

What steps will I have to do to achieve my goal? Can somebody give me a step-by-step guide or point me in the right direction?

Thanks so much in advance!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgweb:
Hi,

I am owner of a G900F since 2 weeks. The first 1.5 weeks I've used the phone with stock rom for testing functionality, then I've flashed CM12.1 from their offical website. After that, I've flashed Xposed and installed XPrivacy. I don't have any bootloops, just random reboots. The phone freezes for about 3 seconds, the screen gets black, it vibrates two times and then it restarts hard - I see the logo with "powered by android" and then CM loads.

I've tried to find out, why the phone reboots, but LogcatExtreme only shows logs beginning with the boot. How can I find out, why the phone rebooted?

I actually did not find any pattern after which the reboots happen, so logging with the PC is hardly possible. The reboots happen one to three times per day.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akalsemann:
You can get the log from /data/log

dumpstate_sys_err.txt.gz

or also dumpstate_app_err.txt.gz

You can open them and search for either FATAL or ERROR, fatal usually causes reboots so i recommend check them out and find out what they mean.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgweb:
I've tried to open that file, but /data/log does not exist.

[XDA Assist] c627627:
The question is about synchronizing two folders residing on Android phone itself.

I've spent hours experimenting with no success.

I found programs syncing two single folders but not syncing all sub folders and contents inside subfolders multiple layers deep.

Programs offer cloud and PC synchronization but what about simply two folders both inside the Android phone, with no internet or any other connection necessary?

The obvious goal being synchronizing removable SD Card folder content with internal SD card folder content.

I've tried Google Playstore search and I have a headache from hours of not being able to do a simple two folder sync using programs that claim they are sync programs - but they can't sync two folders with subfolders inside them. I don't want to sync with PC. I don't want to sync with the Cloud. Just simple two folder sync in Android.

[HTC Butterfly 3] alexsdlc:
Hello everyone,

I purchased a HTC HTV31, also known as Butterfly 3 ot HTC J. It works fine in Europe (Romania exactly). I have full signal, full mobile connection at 4G.

I have two main problems.

First,it seems that I can't send any text messages. I've doubled checked the text message center and if there are no sms restrictions with the local operator.

Second problem is that it's full with Japan au bloatware.

Do you think it's compatible with the last rom for HTC OneM9 or M9+ because the specs are almost the same? Or can somebody help me with a clean rom for this phone?

Here are some informations :

[HTC Butterfly 3] GuestK0087:
Can you access APN settings? Should be somewhere like: settings>more>mobile networks

If so, ensure you are using the correct APN.

Google can help with finding the correct one.

If not, be sure your network preference is correct. I.E. global, LTE, 3g.
[HTC Butterfly 3] alexsdlc:
Hello and thanks for helping me. I can access and add APN because I did that for my internet. But the sms service doesn't need APN.

Still no luck!

[HTC Butterfly 3] tomkins0752:
Since you're S-Off, here is what you do.

(With adb prompts.)

1. Reboot into bootloader

>adb reboot bootloader

2. From there, reboot into Download mode

3. Next, you need SuperCID

>fastboot oem writecid 11111111

4. Reboot back to bootloader to confirm CID

5. Go to the htcdev website and do their bootloader unlock

There is no custom recovery or root access for the HTV31 yet.

---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

I was having this problem too, here is how I fixed it.

Go to your contacts, and select someone who you can't send SMS to.

Edit their number by typing it in again without any additional characters, just the numbers.

Ex. 8005550214

Save then try to text them.

I only had this problem with new contacts that I saved from the phone itself.

(It usually put a + in front of the phone number.)

As soon as I edited them, SMS worked fine.
[HTC Butterfly 3] alexsdlc:
Thank you very much for the info. I've successfully unlocked my bootloader.

Regarding the sms service I've tried everything and still doesn't work.

Do you think that it's possible to flash an M9 stock rom on it? Since all the specs and kernels are the same what will be our risks? How do you propose to backup safely in case that something goes wrong?
[HTC Butterfly 3] alexsdlc:
Yep I can confirm it works for me too. But every time I receive a text I have to go in the agenda or to compose new. The reply doesn`t work. Thanks again.
[HTC Butterfly 3] tomkins0752:
I had noticed that too, so I just switched to Google's Messenger app. There has to be some sort of carrier influence on the SMS app.
[HTC Butterfly 3] petar_b:
Well Google Messenger doesn't help me. I uninstalled original Message.apk, installed Google Messenger and nothing I have the same problem. ...
[HTC Butterfly 3] pesss:
Hey, when you said you've lost NFC and TV receiver do you mean you've managed to get them to work outside Japan?

I just received mine and now considering rooting and removing the bloatware or applying the M9 rom or doing as you and switching to the Taiwanese version?
[HTC Butterfly 3] bakpau:
I'm having the same phone from au Japan, and having the same issue aswell, for the text messaging, and for the GPS (no gps, cann't use gps), if I switch to Taiwan Version, will the text and GPS work ? can i get update (OTA) ? and will the au bloatware gone ?

the downside applying TW version is the NFC and TV ir ?

please advise.

Thanks.
[HTC Butterfly 3] bathach95:
#14

I'm using HTC HTV31 too and I have the same problem about the SMS. if someone send SMS to me, I can not reply it, the msg can't be delivered. I am crazy with it. Please help me!
[HTC Butterfly 3] bathach95:
Can you tell me how to change "product" and "mid" to Taiwanese ?
[HTC Butterfly 3] yossi1983:
I did the same, converted the Japanese AU KDDI into TW version.

Everything works beside NFC.

About the TV, I couldn't make it work on the Japanese version in first place anyways, since I am outside of Japan.
[HTC Butterfly 3] bakpau:
Could you please explain how to change to TW Version ?

and where to get the rom ?

Thanks

Edit: if i change to TW version, will the 4G works ?
[HTC Butterfly 3] bathach95:
Please explain how to converted into TW version. :(
[HTC Butterfly 3] Abkarino:
I had the same issue also while sending any SMS to any contact number start with "+" sign, not only this problem, I'm from Egypt and i had bought 3 pcs of this great mobile 2 weeks ago while i was in Shenzhen, China, and the second major problem that i'm facing is that that here in Egypt we have Vodafone numbers start with "010 or 0100" so when i receive any call from Vodafone network the caller id appeared without "010" in beginning and Caller name does not appear also since the number is different now, for example if i have a contact name "Mohamed" for example with his phone number "01012345678" then when i receive call from this contact the caller name does no appear and phone number appear as "+12345678" without "010" in start.

From what i read in this thread that the problem is that the Country Exit Code is hard coded for Japan "010" that is why any contact number start with "010" does not appeared correctly :(

I had tried to modify Build.Prop to remove any thing related to Japan and tried every thing but nothing work :'(

Also i had read that the Taiwanese version does not have this issue, but the problem is that the NFC will not work, So any body here know how to convert it to Taiwanese version, or at lease have a copy of the Taiwanese Dialer application or any way to solve this issue :(
[HTC Butterfly 3] petar_b:
- it's not problem in dialer app nor mms app, it's somewhere else, deeper in rom.

- I contacted KDDI, they weren't interested much to note down the problem...

- maybe with new version of android they will fix the issue, but I doubt; or wait for US/EU version of phone if they ever make one.

- If you convert it to Taiwanese model you loose NFC and TV, but that was the only way out for me; those guys here did it for me: http://llabtoofer.com/htc-ruu-flashing-service/. I am satisfied with their service, now I use the phone.

- don't root the phone, you won't get new android

I also have 2 pieces of this phone, one with KDDI firmware one with Taiwan one. Price + flashing becomes expensive - I am not so sure if it was worth of it... Design and quality are nice, but now without all these features it falls behind Samsung, and camera has too much noise - however, water resistance is super important for me... yeah, sad....

I wish someone cooks a working ROM for this phone with all features working - I would pay for it with no question asked.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It will most likely not work as most of the code is changed when you run an aosp based rom. Also you can t run an odex apk on a de-odex rom.

I unrooted and relocked my nexus 6, but my mobile iron still says it is OS comprismised. I did uninstall supersu, doesn't look to be installed. What else does MDM or mobile iron flag for? I am the admin to our MI box, so I can see what's going on, and can retire/readd at whim. I just don't see what else it's flagging for, it just says OS compromised, like when I was rooted, and unlocked.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
Not sure but probably same as Google update. Just removing the SU app doesn't remove all the SU system files. Have to reflash back to stock. :cool:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivithemage:
It is a stock OS. Do I have to unlock wipe, flash, lock ,wipe?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
no. you want to unlock your bootloader, flash a factory image, make sure that it boots fine, only then you want to relock your bootloader.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
If you just removed SU app will have to unlock and reflash system to actually remove root. Do not relock till you sure it will boot and reset the unlock switch in developer options. :cool:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivithemage:
OK, doing that now. What's the correct way to relock once in the OS unlocked bootloader and fresh install?

I booted into the OS, went back to recovery, ran this: fastboot oem lock

Should be good, will set it up again, hopefully mobile iron thinks I am an compromised OS now.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
fastboot oem lock is the only way to lock the bootloader :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivithemage:
ahhh man, after all that, it still says OS compromised. Is there another flag somewhere? It is not rooted, or unlocked!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
You did fastboot flash the system.img and boot.img before locking your bootloader, right?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivithemage:
yeah, and everything else in the gz file, cache, system data, radio, boot, etc.

I am going to open a ticket with mobile iron, they have a root ident app that they can install, to tell me what is still flagging it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Let us know what you find out.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivithemage:
https://help.mobileiron.com/articles/MI_Article/Android-Compromised-Rooted-devices

Apparently they have a root checker app. I removed all of my root required applications and I am good. So greenify (flagged), root browser (flagged), total commander (not flagged), betterbattary stats, .

I also uploaded their root status tool if anyone wants to use it:

http://vivithemage.com/extra/RootCode.apk

If anyone else is having problems, but doesn't have support with MI. this should help you discover what's causing it to be listed as comprismised. I am sure some of the savvier folks will use it as a way to stay rooted, but find ways around MI MDM :).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zekedroid:
Any chance you could re-upload the tool? I'm running into the exact same problem but don't have MI support available :(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivithemage:
Sorry, they asked me to remove it :(
[LG G Flex 2] ali_mohamad:
I bought the phone today, but I think it's way slower than it should be. I know that the LG G Flex 2 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 with 2.0 GHz quad core and a 1.5 Ghz quad core (octa core) CPU, but after i have runned a couple of benchmark tests in Antutu, I got a score between 35000 to 40000! That's way slower than Samsung Galaxy S5's Snapdragon 801! I thought that it whould get a score over 50000 When I see info about my CPU in Antutu after bemchmark test, it stands that the first four cores has a frequency of 1.5 GHz, while the other four cores has a frequency of 0.9 GHz (two of them are "sleeping" a lot)! Is it possible to fix that? I hope so. I've got the 16GB version with 2GB of DDR4 RAM. The device is upgraded to 5.1.1 Lollipop. (Sorry for bad English, I'm from Norway)
[LG G Flex 2] Yiannis75:
i got mine at Tuesday. I can pretty much say i never experienced a lag before even tho i had many apps in the recent apps tab and also i was playing high quality games and it got a little bit hot but still it was working flawless, very very fast. What i did after i updated to 5.1.1 i did a factory reset, then i downloaded only the apps that are indeed from lg apps such as calculator downloads quickremote (because most of them are useless and slow down the phone) and then i downloaded a custom launcher and greenify. Also use the google keyboard from google play store. better to use google's apps rather than lg's. Since then i never experianced any lag before. try it out. If u need more help tell me
[LG G Flex 2] drmilosh:
That is really low. Go into settings and into battery saver and check if you maybe turned it on, and also see if you checked option to optimize battery in games.

Try restarting the phone and run antutu again, after a couple of minutes..
[LG G Flex 2] Le_Zouave:
You are from a cold country so it should help. First try let rest the phone and launch antutu when it's at room temperature.

Then try with an ice pack on the back. It can be ice pack for injuries (kind of thick gel in plastic bag) or for cool box or ice chest, whatever you call it. But don't use it too long, you may have condensation inside the phone and it will trigger the humidity sticker (for your warranty).

Don't launch antutu after a reboot, as it's warm after a reboot. Or reboot and let it cool down first.

I followed this thread, had everything going well, but then I began having strange issues with my device. I tried to clear VireLauncherPro's cache, but then that screwed up my Google store. I tried to restore it via the tips at the end of the linked guide, but VireLauncherPro began to act erratic, and the Play Store began to cease working again.

http://xdaforums.com/fire-hd/general/root-supersu-stable-appstore-custom-t3113311

Now I want to update back to 5.x and start the process all over again as a factory reset still leaves left over from Google Play and such, preventing me to do the hack from 4.x.

Thanks in advance.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bibikalka:
Well, you probably want to specify your current FireOS version, whether you have root, and some other details that might help. There aren't many clairvoyants in here, so no generic answers :D
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XD3l:
OS v 4.5.3

And I presume I am still rooted. I was before I did the system restore, but when I re-install Titanium Backup, it still acts like the thing is rooted.

My assumption was that factory resets restored everything and undid roots., but as I said, traces of Google Play store and such are still intact, and I can no longer update via Amazon.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bibikalka:
It does not sound like you have TWRP installed. If so, you need to install SuperSu, and then with ES explorer take a look at this file :

/system/priv-app/DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk

See if you have it as is, or perhaps it is renamed? Rename it back, reboot, and you should get OTAs back.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XD3l:
I have that and it is named as it should be. I also still have Google Store after resetting to factory defaults, thus preventing me from going through the process again.

How can I just install a custom firmware into this so that the Amazon features don't interfere anymore?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saruya:
Ok, so over the past couple of weeks I've had more than a few occasions where my battery will drain very rapidly.

It happened again tonight, and I watched the battery % indicator drop from 48 to 15 over the course of about 15-20 mins. Once it hit 15 it then shut down completely, apparently completely drained, as I put it back on charge and it restarted charging from 0%.

I got the 5.1.1 ota update (Stock EE UK rom) last week, but it's been no help.

I've attached a screenshot of the battery usage. On screen time has been about 3 hrs today.

Anyone any ideas? Would it be worth rooting, or is it a dud battery?

Also, using the Nova launcher BTW.
