Aight I assume your phone have an SD card slot, you might be able to get it unlocked via a language pack update ( no hard reset involved) , now the problem here is that I don't know much about how to do this but I'm sure [MENTION=5889633]djamol[/MENTION] would be able to help you , check out his posts I think I've seen him talk about this before ,, unfortunately I don't remember much as I've been busy lately , but I'm sure it is possible ,, also I don't know why would having 8.1 update ruin your w10m upgrade? I heard most people are upgrading fine,,, also .. I think there's an interop unlock for w10m itself being released soon as w10m is released
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rektifying:
Hello,

I am interested in getting a Nexus Player. I love all of the customizations that can be done with it. I especially like the fact that you can install an internet browser and use a Logitech K400 with it. (with some mods and adapters I know) Only thing I am wondering is if this fall there will be a Gen 2 released along side the new Nexus 5 and 6? I would hate to buy one now and two months later, boom heres gen 2. Anyone have any input on this?

Also, I like the Forge TV but i don't believe it is nearly as customizable as the Nexus is it?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabbyWC:
I haven't heard any rumors about a new Android TV device from Google. Even the Chromecast hasn't had a hardware update yet and that's been out for a lot longer than the Nexus Player. If there's a retailer near you that offers an extended return policy on a product like this, maybe that's something to consider if you're concerned about a new hardware announcement. I haven't used a Razer Forge TV but with the Nexus Player being so affordable and customizable, Google's current Android TV hardware is still a good choice and is worth buying.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rektifying:
Thank you for your response. I have looked all over for info on a Nexus Player Gen 2 and have found nothing myself. I just figured this was a good place to ask. I will go for the nexus player then. This helps making my new TV purchase a lot easier as well. No smart tv needed, just a tv with a Nice display panel.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradwatson:
I have both a Nexus Player and Forge TV. If you use Netflix, don't buy the Forge because after months it still doesn't have Netflix. Nexus Player works great. Hopefully one day the Forge TV will get Netflix because I would rather use it with its built in Ethernet port.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aldrik:
If you can get it for about $50 its absolutely worth it.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecrunked:
i regret my purchase. my netflix app barely ever works, and not that many major apps support it, like hbo, sling tv or amazon instant. you would be much better off with fire tv IMO, especially now cause you can sideload kodi and im pretty sure its easily rootable and you can get google services and play store installed now. it has a better remote and more conectivity too

not to mention that the fire tv 2 is rumored to being released soon
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoubaK:
OP, I think it will depend on what use you will give the device you end up getting.

I'm running mine with the latest M Preview build and it works great.

I was able to load Kodi straight from the Play Store (thru the web version to be specific), as well as other apps (e.g. ES File Explorer, few emulators, etc.).

I have an 3-way splitter OTG cable for my Rii K12 Ultra Slim keyboard/mousepad and a 32GB flash drive.

Again, it will depend on your use....
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spence1115:
To counter this, the Fire TV is NOT easily rootable; you have to either have a very old firmware from a US only model, or be willing to solder parts to it. Google Play Services don't work well on it, and its still on 4.2.2 so a lot of apps from outside the Amazon store don't work. The new developer software is 5.1, but that makes accessing Kodi difficult as sideloaded apps remain hidden in a submenu of settings.

I'm trying to replace mine now, as I'm sick of working around Amazon's arbitrary limitations.

Thank you all for your input. I ended up getting a Nvidia Shield Console. I love it! The main reason I went with the Shield is because I currently have/use a 42" 4K TV. So it just made the most sense to me to get. I know a lot of content isnt broadcasted in 4K yet but some is with more to come. I have already watched some Netflix stuff in 4K. Looks awesome!!! The free Grid games are a nice touch as well. I have 100mbps net so Grid games run great! (I use wired connection, not WiFi)
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Texas501:
I know you went another route. I bought the Nexus Player because I wanted to stop renting a cable box. I bought an HD HOMERUN PRIME and only rent a cable card from the cable company now. I found out the hard way that I can only watch "unprotected/ non DRM channels" on my computer. After searching a lot, I found that the HD HOMERUN VIEW app on android allows me to watch these channels (which is most of the channels worth watching). The Nexus Player utilizes this app and now I can watch all my channels with this on my big screen. Just thought I'd throw this in for those considering buying a Nexus Player.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twitchyleftarm:
Hell no

I spent about 80$ on mine and it was completely worthless. The app ecosystem is almost dead, the user interface is limited, no okay google all the time, nothing special at all. The only thing you can do is stream limited media. Just get a chromecast.

I have a variety of streaming devices. But family acceptance is important. So Roku connected directly to the TV which is great for family. The Nexus Player rooted with custom ROM. Tvmb is the main application. It is connected to the home theater. For movies and live TV it is quite useful. But not as easy to use. So mostly I set it up.

There is a way with a custom ROM to use the USB port as an Ethernet connection with the Nexus Player.

So I ended up buying a Nexus player for my 32" 1080P TV in my bedroom. I still have my Shield on my 4K in the living room, loving that! Just waiting for the new nexus phones to release so I can replace my iPhone, then I will be done with Apple. (I had an Apple TV that I sold and I currently have an iPhone 6 which is going to be replaced with the New Nexus 5 upon release)

Anyways, I loved the Nexus Player at first! I think it is pretty awesome! One issue, it will NOT wake from sleep. I tried everything! Clearing cache, factory reset after update. Anyone running CM12.1 on their Nexus player? How is that and will it fix sleep issue? Thanks!
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asadullah:
Google has the factory images on their website. On my phone right now or I'd posta link. It's pretty easy though does everything for you. If that doesn't fix it then you've got a bad device and should exchange it.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoubaK:
Glad you're enjoying your NP. I'm not sure if it is the CM12.1 ROM or not, but on the Android M Preview build I get a delay wake from sleep. The device takes a tad longer than the original firmware. Try reverting back to stock or using the Android M Preview build.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
These are seeing pretty good price drops in the States. Walmart cleared these out for $39.99. Best Buy and others have them for $49.99.

I have Roku 1, 2, 3, Fire Stick, Ouya, Chromecast, RaspPi 2, Android PC Sticks, etc. The Ouya is my main gaming unit. But I like to buy these for traveling and toying with. Having the wife and kid used to the Rokus, I can see them easily picking this up and working with it.

If you are seriously looking for a TV Streamer box, you may want to wait. The Roku 4 and the new Nexus TV is coming out soon (October). The Roku has always been my fav for home use. It is simple and doesn't bombard you with Amazon or Google ads. It just works. The Nexus TV is pretty good too, although I plan to use it for personal uses such as emulation and a traveling companion.

I think for $50, it is awesome. Plus it is getting Android Marshmallow once the new one hits, so they will effectively run the same. The new one will just have a longer life. So it might be worth spending $99 on the new one and having a few more years of life on it.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rektifying:
I ended up returning my Nexus Player. I paid $69.99 +tax at Best Buy. About a week later I seen it at Walmart for $39.99. I did not re-purchase it yet though! The price drop tells me that a new one is on the way. So I am going to wait for the Nexus event on Tuesday (9/29) before I do anything. If there is a new one announced, I would guess that it would only receive a performance boost and 4k Support. If that is the case, I will just re-purchase the one I had. I only need it for the bedroom, and I do not see myself buying a 4K for my bedroom for a very long time, if ever.

I did unroot, lock the bootloader, and factory reset before I returned though. I'm sure they just threw it back on the shelf as an open box item.

[XDA Assist] OneStopApp:
So I wanted to know if there are any similar apps like lucky patcher for a kindle... I tried to use lucky patcher on a game from amazon Appstore just to see if it worked which it doesn't because every time you load the game it says Error from amazon Appstore and closes it out but before the game closes I can clearly see it modded successfully it just the game won't stay open because of that error but back to the point are there any similar apps like that

if not could I root my kindle with kingroot or will I have to get the fire 5OS preview and downgrade my kindle from there using adb? After that my kindle rooted all I would have to do is download google play services and the google play store and lucky patcher should work right?

Some insight would be most appreciated.

PS. My kindle automatically updated itself with version 4.5.5 at 11:46AM EST. ( If that concerns one of you.)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Ign0tus:
Hello, I have a Galaxy S4 i337 running 4.4.4 Kitkat. It is stock rooted. I have broken the screen and digitizer, so I cannot see what is on the screen and there is no touch input. The phone has a pattern lock with a backup pin. I know the pattern and possibly the backup pin, but I can't input them due to no touch input and I can't see the display. I have an MHL connector that shows the display on my TV, but I can't provide any input. I also have a USB OTG cable and a mouse and keyboard, but input with these devices is essentially useless since I can't see what's on the screen at the same time. :mad:

I was going to try the "Android Control" Windows app that I found here at XDA, however, I am unable to unlock the phone and then allow the PC to connect to the phone using ADB. I am referring to the "Allow USB debugging?" prompt. I believe USB debugging is enabled. Wifi is turned off, and bluetooth is turned off. I was thinking that I may be able to connect a bluetooth mouse and use the MHL adapter at the same time, but I can't enable bluetooth. I do not have a Samsung account, so I can't use the find my phone or whatever it's called to unlock it. Does anyone have ANY ideas of what I can try to gain access to the device? :fingers-crossed:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Ign0tus:
There has to be some kind of back door or something. Surely Google isn't so inept that they have locked down MY device to the point that I have lost ALL of my data due to the lcd and digitizer being broken. Samsung Kies says that it isn't compatible and says to use something called Smart Switch, which won't work with the phone locked. I can presumably install software via the Google Play website, but that's the only thing that I am aware that I can do without operating the phone directly. I read about an app that can supposedly unlock your device if you install it from Google Play. I have no idea if it works, and that would only solve half of my problem. I still need to disable or bypass secure adb. If not for secure adb, I'd likely have full access to my device. Thanks Google; secure adb is awesome!

Ideally there would be an app that could be installed via Google Play that would automatically enable an FTP server on the device without any configuration. It would be preconfigured with the options in the documentation and would enable on install or after reboot. I have Filezilla and have used FTP before with the device via ES File Explorer, but I can't enable it with a broken lcd and digitizer.

There is a product called Samsung Remote Client/Server that I believe is intended for carrier unlocking devices. It is a paid product, but a free function of the software is the ability to bypass pattern lock. I can't get it to work though. It says:

"Opening Modemport at COM3"

"Bypassing Pattern lock...Please Wait..."

"Bypass Failed"

"Make sure you have set the correct modem or uart port as modemport!"

I have no idea what it is talking about regarding the port.

I read something about possibly being able to manually add my PC's RSA fingerprint to the device to allow adb to connect, but I can't access the filesystem to do this. As much as I despise Apple, I'm wondering if my data would be forever lost if I was using an iPhone and my screen broke. I'm betting either iTunes or one of the Apple stores could recover my data. I guess with Android, you're hosed if your device malfunctions.

Try sending an email to Josh at Mobile Tech Videos or give him a call. He has a shop in texas, and is the most knowledgable person on Galaxy phones of anyone I know outside of Samsung. You might be lucky enough to talk to him in person. (He's very busy.) He can probably get your data for you, for a reasonable price, and will also probably be forthcoming with any way you can do it yourself, if you ask. He is somewhat active here on XDA-Developers as [MENTION=1602851]connexion2005[/MENTION].

Edit: I hadn't looked at his web site for some time. That note about not taking new orders has been up there for the better part of a year now. Also, it looks like he is making good money fixing blacklisted phones with his jtag equipment. So, I'm not sure if this is good advice or not. But it can't hurt anything to ask.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Ign0tus:
Thanks for the information. I'll look into it. I may have found a broken Galaxy S4 with a working screen and digitizer. If that pans out, I think I can connect the screen and digitizer from that phone to my phone and at least unlock the pattern and authorize my PC. I also found a dock on Amazon for $16 that supposedly lets you connect an HDMI cable and mouse and keyboard simultaneously. I'll try that if the other phone doesn't come through.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tigueraje:
OTG cable

Use a generic OTG cable, then connect a wireless Keyboard/Mouse combo. I use one of these: Logitech K400 for my customers, works for most phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Ign0tus:
I appreciate the input and suggestions, but as stated in the OP:

I have a semi-complex lock pattern. Using a mouse to input the pattern without being able to see the screen is virtually impossible. I have tried. Just getting it to accept the WRONG pattern 5x while hitting at least 4 points each time is very frustrating and nearly impossible. Unless the trackpad on the keyboard you linked works differently (touching the center of the pad centers the on-screen cursor), that method won't work. I doubt it works that way in my experience with laptop trackpads. The only solution that I know of regarding OTG would be to buy a dock that enables both HDMI and mouse input simultaneously.

Regardless, someone came through with a broken Galaxy S4 that I can possibly take the screen off of to at least unlock my phone, remove the pattern lock, and authorize my PC's connection via ADB. I'm about to tear into that now.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] HypostaticOnion:
Here's the thing with iPhone vs android that people tend to forget. iOS is designed specifically for iPhones and thus the OS runs natively. Android is developed with tons of hardware configurations in mind and thus runs in its own emulator of sorts. The fact that an android phone can keep up with something running native code is incredible. Because of this, I'm not so worried that the iPhone can beat a note in a race that no one does in real life. I close my own apps out a lot to keep them from running in the background so I'm not so concerned with how fast the iPhone reopens a few apps.

iOS doesn't background multitask like Android/Linux/Windows 8.1 and 10/etc. It suspends background apps so they're not active. That's how it gets away with low SoC and DRAM specs.
