[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bilgerryan:
Drivers do have to do with how Odin works, it is a valid suggestion and you should probably try it because, hell, you don't have too many options. If it's an L720 the bootloader is not locked, period, they never ever have been. I hope you also realize that Odin won't let you flash older firmware, only newer or the same firmware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] soundimpressions:
I actually reinstalled odin and updated the samsung drivers. I will post a picture after work. The bootloader screen actually says write protect enabled. Odin recognizes the phone being plugged in and even attempts to download. But it fails every time. I've used two different computers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bilgerryan:
Everybody's L720 says that (write protection enabled), that is not the issue. Have you tried a different cable? What file are you trying to Odin? What is the error that Odin says?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] soundimpressions:
Thanks for that info. I never paid attention to notice that before. I'm at work so I can't do much right now. Odin does showthe install fail.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bilgerryan:
It could be as simple as a bad download of the file or you are trying to use a file for the L720T. There's only a few things that can go wrong in Odin.

Hello XDA,

I am looking for some help in some advanced configuration of an Android TV device. MY first question would be regarding:

I am trying to get the Android 4.4.2 daydreams, photoFrame app to get its images from the Kodi applications background file folders

Could you please help in asking in the correct area

Also, more importantly I am looking for an Android expert to help me with some contract work for development of MY Android Tv Devices, again where to post my request for this type of individual

Thanking you in advance,

[XDA Assist] It_ler:
There is not much about Android TVs yet on XDA.

Just this: Android TV and Stick Computers.

Maybe time to request a new forum here: *** New Device Forum Requests *** by the_scotsman?!

But I found this thread:

[APP][TV5.0+][2015.03.10] Sideload Launcher for Android TV v1.05 by Chainfire

If you still need more help, please ask in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

As long as there is no dedicated forum for Android TV sets, it's the best place to get answers and advices IMO.

Good luck !

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gibbo82:
Hi guys, just wondering how the battery on the z3+ compares to the z3?. I know the z3 is the best battery on any android phone to date.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romeokk:
A lot worse for me. For my daily usage, Z3 lasts from 7AM till 10PM but Z3+ only lasts from 7AM till 6PM (both dual sim variant).
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] TheXclusive814:
So i got my Xtremeguard Tempered Glass Screen protector and back protector. Highly Disappointed. Halo all around and the film for the back of the phone is cut to big and the the cutout around the camera and heart rate sensor looks horrible. The back film I will have to cut myself so it fits, its just to go between the phone and a case,so nothing gets scratches.

I always used Xtremeguard for my LG G3 , but not for the note5 now.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Hezzennater:
I figured it was too good to be true. Can you let us know if you contact customer service?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] TheXclusive814:
I just emailed them i will see what they say.

I had issues with my wife's note 4 screen protector , they refunded my money and said just to write return to sender on the package.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Ready2Mosh:
It's the 2.5D glass the note 4 and 5 use, the edges of the screen are curved, not flat. When you find one the doesn't do that it won't coder the edge is the screen.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] TheXclusive814:
I really hate to pay alot for a screen protector. Was hoping XtremeGuard would work for me like it did on my LG g3

Note 5 Screen Protector, JETech® Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector Film for Samsung Galaxy Note 5 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0132XCT0U/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_PtM4vbABJYMT4 no halo on this one. I got it and it's great. I have a defender on my phone
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] NiquiSE:
+1 I agree.

I was going to buy a few of them because they were dirt cheap however I should have my Supershieldz one Monday or Tuesday so I decided to hold off.

Thanks for the review, let us know how that customer service experience goes
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Hezzennater:
Interestingly, that screen protector actually says, "2.5D" on the packaging. Ii need to google that phrase, I've never heard of it, but that would be nice to know if screen protector manufacturers could tell us if they account for the curved screen or not.

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

This seems to have all the answers.

http://www.androidauthority.com/what-is-a-2-5d-screen-611258/
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Ready2Mosh:
The 2.5D Jettech is talking about means the edge of the screen protector is also rounded off so it doesn't have a sharp edge.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Hezzennater:
Oh, that's a bummer
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Ready2Mosh:
Actually you want the rounded edge so it isn't sharp, some aren't 2.5D and they can slice your finger if you run it along the edge of it. I can tell you there are 0 glass protectors that cover the entire screen including the curved edge. They didn't have it for the 4 and they won't have it for 5 either.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Hezzennater:
I was saying it's a bummer that the screen protector is not curved. Not that it was a bummer that they rounded the edges. Just to clarify.

That is really unfortunate though. The screen protector I have barely covers my screen and has a bad halo. i can't imagine having a screen protector that only goes to to where the halo starts.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] TechBSwift:
I have this screen protector and my phone looks nothing like this. I agree it doesn't cover 100% of the screen which I love because I use full body cases (supercase unicorn) and it sits perfectly in that case. I wonder if you got a lemon. Have you tried reseating the protector?

I used xtremegaurd with very little halo.

Update email
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] TheXclusive814:
Refund
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] BiNiaRiS:
I just got 2 of these in the mail. It came in generic packaging, doesn't even say xtremeguard anywhere on it. Front of the plastic box just says "real tempered glass screen protector." I don't even think these are made for the Note 5. They are probably for the note 4. mine look like mrpickem's as they don't have the small round cutout inside the top cutout to account for the large front camera lens.

i found a thread somewhere else on xda and someone said xtremeguard and just been buying whatever tempered glass protectors they can buy in china and sending out various brands. think i'm gonna ask for a refund.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Natureboy72:
I got mine today. Very disappointed, the front camera and sensor area wasn't big enough. I should of figured when the glass came in a package with an iPhone on it.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] TheXclusive814:
I'd believe it
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] mrpickem:
Actually I'm fairly happy with mine. You can't expect much for $4 IMO. If some of the better makers come up with a highly regarded unit I'll switch...otherwise I can roll with this for awhile.

next to my note 4, the halo much worse on note 4 and it was expensive protector
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Maury000:
Hi, I need xda's solid information to upgrade my rooted S4 sgh-i337 to 5.0 from 4.4.2. I'm a Mac user, so I haven't been able to find anything useful so far. It was an unlocked AT&T phone, now being used with T-Mobile. I have already downloaded the 5.0 update.zip from AndroidFileHost onto my Mac. OK, here's a stupid question: Why couldn't I simply do a factory reset (in which case would I lose the root?) and then update from Recovery Mode ["apply update from external source"], and re-root later? Thanks for reading, and for whatever help you can give. Oh, I'm still learning, so please don't assume I know anything.:confused:

I have other issues I just discovered from Samsung: Because the phone has been unlocked [I bought it this way], I have not been receiving any updates and I have already missed 6 updates. My signal has become weaker, sometimes calls get dropped, and the phone seems to get hotter so I have to charge it more frequently. The savvy tech at Samsung said I could overcome having to re-lock the phone so AT&T [see T-Mobile above] can send me the updates by going to Best Buy and let the Samsung Rep do it all for me, including updating to 5.0.1. The problem is the phone is rooted. Will Samsung not help me if they know the phone is rooted ? (--another naive question, I guess.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] creepyncrawly:
I don't know about flashing anything from Mac or Linux. We used to use Heimdall (command line version) on the S2, but I don't know if that is viable for the S4.

If you take it to BestBuy and tell the tech you are rooted, I bet he will still help you. What is the worst he can do, say no. But if he flashes 5.0.1 for you, you will lose root, as stock 5.0.1 will not be rooted.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] babuap:
Hello all..

NewB asking for help..

I bought HTC9100 preinstalled with the following WWE ROM.

1.25.000.TE

02/14/07

RADIO VER 1.38.00.11

PROTOCOL VER 32.71.7020.12H

Its a Taiwanese model. I tried to upgrade to WM6 with a wrong ROM and it screwed up everything.. Stopped working completely(Red, green, blue screen)...

I registered with HTC-Taiwan site and could download only a Taiwanese version ROM. I installed Taiwanese ROM.. Atleast the phone is working though i can not understand a single letter in Taiwanese....

Where can i download a WWE ROM for CHT-9100 Taiwan make. Is there anyway i can download the same ROM I had(the above mentioned)..?

I googled all the day and could not get a clue...

I am very sad.. Any help is genuinely appreciated...

thanks

I think you can ignore about your current ROM version and install any WWE ROM you want including WM6.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi babuap,

I am looking for the latest CHT9100 WM6 Trad Chinese Rom, appreciate if you could upload the rom for download. Thanks in advance.

For yr info, you can purchase IMEI-CHECK to unlock your phone to flash to any D810 roms. It works as I have purchase it.

www.imei-check.co.uk.

Thanks again
[P3600 Software Upgrading] nealed:
Go with the WM6 version of Dopod Chinese ROM - it's the best chinese ROM available for the device. The CHT 9100 is identical to all of our devices - so the ROM can be the same. Flash with HARD-SPL and you can choose whichever ROM you want.

Hi peeps, I have a Bq Aquaris E 10 tablet and everything went well until I tried to install a custom recovery with Flashfy. The installation went ok but when I reeboted the tablet to enter it.... I could never enter the system again (I just have stock recovery and boot logo). I am now installing android sdk tools, but I can not finf drievers and the only thing that I can do is enter recovery thrn adb mode where it says ad sideload <filename> only if I could find a signed recovery/system to install it with the stock recovery...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve01351:
I'm freaking a little here, so pardon me. Battery life on my phone (even with new batter(ies) got terrible (less than 16 hrs) so I looked through a post at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2483927 for apps I could freeze , froze them and rebooted. Now my phone gets to the big white V over the word VERIZON on a red field and just freezes there. When the phone started before, when the Samsung "Galaxy Note 3" logo came up, it said something afterwords - I don't remember the wording, but it started right after I rooted. It had something to do with the rooting. Anyway, apparently something I froze had to do with the proper operation of the rooting. So now I think I need to start the phone in some kind of "safe mode" and undo what I'd frozen. I just have no idea at all how to do that. I managed to get it into safe mode once, but it only stayed there a few minutes and then went right back to the endless V. I haven't been able to get it back into safe mode. It doesn't respond to the keys after I power it up - although I CAN get it into recovery mode. When it was in safe mode though, it showed no menus or icons and being that it didn't respond to the keys, I couldn't access any apps. I'd even be more than happy to just flash back to defaults (unrooted) but I have no idea how to do that either. I've got no phone right now - and I have another 2 years to pay on a piece of crap I can't even use.

This is a rooted Note 3. I don't remember what method I used to root it - I didn't know they were so different, but I know towelroot was installed. Any help would be VERY much appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenny1991:
Is it 900v?

Don't listen to the safe to remove threads. Happened to me too old note 1 days when I was on tw.

Go to sammobile dot com

Search for firmware for your model or carrier. Flash with odin. Search yt fir how to use odin or XDA it. You simply start with flash.

I think Verizon has the ? bootloader. You may find it hard to reroot. And you should for the sake of root flash the oldest firmware from sammobile. Just to be sure you can reroot if there is a method.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve01351:
So I downloaded the oldest firmware Sammobile had for my Note (4.3). I downloaded Odin. The suggested version for 4.3 was Odin 3.9, so that's what I tried. I downloaded and installed the latest Samsung USB drivers. Then I started Odin and followed This guide: http://www.droidviews.com/install-stock-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-devices-using-odin/ . I did it 3 times. Each time it failed. The info in the message box was:

aboot.mbn

FAIL! (Auth)

Complete (Write) Operation failed.

All threads completed. (Succeed 0 / failed 1)

Did I miss something?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve01351:
Also, the phone now says (on the download/Odin mode screen) in red letters

SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 3 Binary 2
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve01351:
So, as a last resort I decided to give the ROM for 5.0 a shot with Odin. It actually worked. My phone now starts. Sort of. I mean bluetooth starts (at least according to my Galaxy tablet and Galaxy Gear watch), but I have no desktop on the phone or way of accessing any of my apps. I have no clue. I've got a menu bar across the top, but the settings menu doesn't respond. Looks like a trip to the Verizon store is in order. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve01351:
Damn. As a very very last resort, I decided to try a factory reset. Doing one and choosing during it to import my old apps and settings resulted in the same no desktop. Doing a factory reset again but choosing to "set up as a new phone" gives me a desktop. And Android 5.0. Go figure. Now I gotta download and set up all my apps again - pair it with my tablet and Gear, but at least it's working. I don't have to buy another phone. Thank Odin.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenny1991:
Lol.

Some times you have to backup data. But you almost have to reinstall apps from play store with such issues you had.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve01351:
I'm actually not that upset. I WAS getting worse and worse battery life. All I really lost was time and a few pictures I hadn't backed up on my computer, but I had backups of all my music, ringtones and my contacts were saved, so it's not bad. Except for that god-awful light blue background color in the menus. :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
I'm trying to clear up a confusion in my mind about how to

really

backup a rooted Nexus 5.

(For privacy reasons I use a firewall, etc. and do not sync with Google or the cloud).

- I know that Titanium Backup will backup all the installed apps and their data.

- I know that a nandroid backup (I use twrp) will backup the android system and apps.

But there seems to be gap here - unless I am mistaken. Over time, most users add new folders in the sdcard for downloads, documents, genealogy, and the like. I tend to think of a nandroid backup as similar to an "image backup" in windows, but I suspect it might not be because the nandroid backup

does

not

backup these newly created folders. Am I correct? Does a nandroid backup these additional sdcard folders? I think most people assume they do, but a friend just told me they do not and he lost a lot of data because of that erroneous assumption. I hope he is wrong!

Does a nandroid backup the system and the entire sdcard - or not? If not, why not? I'm not a programmer but it would seem to be a simple thing to include any additional sdcard folders? What am I missing? Is there a technical reason why a complete backup is not possible in android?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whereisthesoda:
A nandroid doesn't backup 100% of the device.. I'm not sure why, but I know it doesn't. /sdcard (or whatever its called lol) is not backed up.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
You're correct that there is no simple way to back up your entire device. Even using Google will not back it up.

A nandroid will back up your system, apps and app data. It will not backup your /sdcard. That means any photos, music, downloaded files, etc.

Unfortunately, to backup your device you really need to use a nandroid, the cloud and your pc.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
That's a shame. I was hoping I was wrong! I bet a lot of users have been burned by that! :crying:

Seems to be a glaring opening for a "killer app" that would

a) reboot the phone into recovery

b) do a nandroid backup

c) append a backup of remaining folders

Then the whole could be copied to a pc or flashdrive. Maybe even done in one swoop while attached by usb to a pc. Like a pc backing up an image to an external hd - which I do all the time.

It's so obvious that I wonder what is making this unachievable in android.

Is there such an app? Looks like I have been living dangerously.......

If you could do that you'd run out of storage space before it completed
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theesotericone:
I just create a folder called backup on my comp. Then do a:

adb pull /. backup

It takes two hours but pulls the entire phone to my comp. Or at least as close as you'll ever get with android.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
I thought of that. That is why it would be an app to run

while your device was connected to the pc

. Just like when I do an image backup of my windows laptop to an external HD.

You need to connect to a PC or other drive to transfer the nandroid anyway.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
That is what I will have to do. Thanks for the adb command to use.

But, it is a two step procedure: first create a nandroid, then connect to PC to move everything there. Unless I am wrong, without a nandroid, just copying everything on the phone will not let me restore the system. (Maybe I am wrong).

I am not knowledgeable enough, but, if not an app, maybe a script that you run - while connected to the PC (or external HD? with stickmount?) - would either boot the phone into recovery, do the nandroid, and copy everything (including the nandroid) to the pc. Unless one can skip a step by creating the nandroid directly on the PC instead of on the phone.

I'm a relative newbie and could be talking nonsense - sorry if I am - but if it can be done in Windows, it should be abe to be done in android/linux.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theesotericone:
Honestly the only time I've used that command was a few years ago when I was looking into what your asking about. Long

story short, it was a complete failure. lol The best bet is just using a nand and copying your sdcard over to the comp whenever you feel the need. It's really easy to restore the sdcard. It's really hard to use ADB to restore anything else. It's possible but takes way more time than just restoring a nand.
