Thanks, I was wondering why the screen wasn't refreshing...I thought it was the change in the pagepool that caused the bug, but guess not.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertHowie:
PROBLEM:

Essentially my phone has stopped recognising when headphones have been plugged in, but the headphone port isn't broken since it plays audio through both the speakers and the headphones at the same time. I recognize that this might be a hardware problem, so I'm just looking for a temporary fix. Ideally a small app that allows me to toggle where the sound is played through.

SPECS:

Rooted android 4.4

Cubot s308

ALREADY TRIED:

Checked headphone port for dust/debris using a light, wiggled inside with a cotton bud and so on

Tried a few apps, notably 'sound about' which doesn't actually change anything

Other headsets - all I have tried have the same issue, so its not a headset issue

All other posts I can find are where the headphone out is permanently on, or where the port just doesn't work, so any help would be apreciated.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalys:
I just had my z2 tablet replaced under warranty with my carrier (previous tablet just would no longer turn on)

my old tablet was rooted, the replacement I just received is already running the latest update, i can find info on rooting old versions, nothing for the new one (at least that i understand)

tablet details

Model No. SGP521

android version. 5.1.1

build no. 23.4.A.0.546

any instructions or assistance on this would be hugely appreciated

(please assume i am a complete novice when it comes to this and need thorough explanations for the process, because that is about where my knowledge base stands)

my reason for rooting is that i have an SD card which before i was using to store and run apps from

would like to be able to do that again

thanks
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymister:
Well first thing you would need to do is flash an older version with flashtool (don't mistake it with Sony flashtool, that's the wrong one)

After you've done that you can root it, install recovery, and update to a newer version using update zip.

All the howto's to do this are already on xda multiple times. Just use the search function.

Have you linux with wget available, it might download those better. Another browser might also help.

As someone suggested in the xiaomi forums, you should try to download them using a proxy. I have used one from Singapore, download speed was around 200-300 KB/s.
[XDA Assist] user1618:
As the title say's there is no sound on loud speaker no sound on earphones nor on the speaker for talking. It started today, there was sound this morning and no sound now. It is e2115 with 4.4.4 Kit Kat. Build number is 24.0.B.5.14. I have tried every thing I could find on the internet. Restarting with earphones and without, in safe mode and regular, removing sd card, using music volume eq, playing music in chrome, Walkman (default app), VLC player and in-game music. Phone is rooted (kingroot and terminal hack to change su app to supersu). I haven't done factory reset yet because I don't think it would work. If I were to do it I would be unrooting it too.

To me it looks like software problem because all if the speakers stopped working simultaneously. Also I have tried Sony diagnostics and tests failed.

Edit: At best you can hear crack(l)ing (if you glue your ear to speakers (both top and loud)). Walkman registers (pauses) when I unplug earphones (tested two of them)

[Moto X Q&A] JoeSchmoe007:
I have XT1053 and it is broken. I use it on AT&T and LTE support is important. It was on 4.2.2 and I never upgraded to 4.4 as it seemed all later versions just brought different problems and I never needed any new features. I haven't followed 5.1 too much but if it was any good there would not be threads here about downgrading, right?

My options are (I need to do something fast because I leave for vacation in Europe at the end of the month and would like to use phone there. I don't want anything larger than 5"):

1) Send it to Motorola and for $100 they will fix it. Probably just replace with refurb. But what version of Android will it come with? Does anyone know?

2) Get 2014 Moto X, but what version? It seems "Pure Edition" (XT1095) didn't support AT& LTE bands out of the box but they were upgraded later and that enabled it. Yet I found posts that AT&T IMEI database apparently doesn't list XT1095 as having these bands and phone doesn't connect to LTE on AT&T. One has to proved IMEI from another phone. My AT&T SIM is now associated with 1053, so maybe I would be OK?

has Lollipop upgrade on 2014 Moto X been as bad as it was on 2013?

3) Get XT1097 (AT&T version of Moto X 2014) - I don't like the fact that it only comes with 16GB of storage. Also, can it be rooted/bootloader/SIM unlocked?

4) Get some other phone and here I just don't know what to consider in 5" size because I haven't been following Android phones recently.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiannist:
I have a G901F (Galaxy S5 LTE+), that is running Android 4.4.4 stock rooted.

Many times, especially when I use the phone a lot, and it probably gets hot, the screen freezes and after 2-3 seconds, the phone reboots.

I have tried restoring to factory defaults, and removing the SD card, with no success.

I am attaching two last_kmesg from the reboots. The relative message I found in them is "Kernel panic - not syncing: Pingpong Timeout".

If anyone could read the messages and help me, I would be grateful. Thanks in advance!

Hi i have SHIELD Android TV pro After update 1.4, I get the NVIDIA boot logo and then booting stops at a Fastboot Menu .......

i try to fastboot oem unlock but it give me

C:\adb>fastboot oem unlock

...

FAILED (remote: Read less bytes than expected)

finished. total time: 57.252s

i am trying to downgrade to 1.3

how ti fix it ?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiteful Monkey:
According to Nvidia, this is due to a faulty hard drive. They are offering quick RMA service for it. If that is the case, you probably aren't going to fix this issue. They are using some strange file system on the pro's. This is why no one can replace the hybrid drives in them as well.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cityslicker:
There is a way to recover from fast boot look on the official Nvidia forum and there is a way to connect to your PC and recover.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnt118:
Although one of their posts does say that the problem is due to a faulty drive and would eventually have to be replaced anyways.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melo_mx:
This happened to me. So I RMA it and they were GREAT!

I highly recommend replacing it. I was never able to use grid without lag every few seconds... thought it was the service, but it was actually the hardware defect causing it
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josti-Band:
No Quick Rma in Europe

From a very disappointed Nvidia Shield enthousiast, :rolleyes:

Owning the:

Shield portable >> almost unusable after the 5.x upgrade

Tablet 16 GB & LTE 32 GB >> recalled for battery risks

Shield Pro 500Gb >> rendered unusable by 1.4 upgrade

I unfortunately must conclude that there is no other product line that i know of that is hit by so many problems in the primary design & upgrade paths. Even my 90s neo geo pocket & neo geo Aes are more reliable ;).

Shield products seem to be made on a proof of concept bases trying to spark interest with other companies to start mass production of these devices. I therefore think that the primary focus of Nvidia is the chipset and the performance of the platform. The other parts are just packaging that definitely doesn't go through the same testing that the chipset gets, therefore we get exploding batteries faulty hard drives and slowed down handhelds.

SHIELD= (S)ome (H)opefull (I)ndividuals (E)xperiencing (L)acking (D)esigns

So back to the latest fault with the Shield TV,

After updating to 1.4 i was confronted with the same fastboot error, unfortunately living in europe does not entitle me to the same quick replacement that US users have experienced.

After 3 days of e-mail conversation with nvidia support i was asked to make foto's of the unit and also the box and serial numbers.

Then i was asked to ship the unit to a Dutch Nvidia warehouse & was received there without any communication or update by Nvidia.

Concluding:

- There is no replacement sent out before you sent back the old unit.

- The time needed to send out the new unit after receiving the old one remains unclear.

- As a replacement you will recieve a used/refurbshed unit.

Waiting to see how long this process will take and feeling very disappointed.

:confused:
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] visitor29:
question how did you get console over the ocean? if amazon or ebay you can send back. and if i'm not wrong if with amazon there not supposed to be problem at all

complete agree with you, very stupid situation experiences with nvidia gaming product line.................

i think i have paranoia and this will happen with me too and according by nvidia words there is less than 1% faulty units, but reading around and stories like yours one ....... something saying to me there is 50 or more % of faulty units and + now hassle with exchange/postage/ some kind of proof of picture/..............complete opposite what was said in nvidia.com

anyway i ordered on amazon from states an d i'm from Ireland, cant wait that happy day or shield will gonna fly away through the window.

will keep inform here how is going on later
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josti-Band:
Hi Visitor,

I also got the Shield Pro from Amazon at the launching day, guess i got the first batch.

Fortunately for you Amazon has a 30 day money back guarantee policy, so if you experience the same problems you can RMA IT with Nvidia of refund it through Amazon.

The pixellation & slow downs were evident from day one, but i was hoping that the frequent software updates would improve the situation.

Hard to say how many units are affected but the seagate 500 GB SSHDD hybrid drives have a tendency to fail, and knowing from experience that you can't really switch of (power down) the device. So the drive will always be spinning 24H non stop. Increasing the wear and tear on the drive. Hoping for a power down feature in the next update.

You can easily diagnose this when the Shield arrives on the 6th of October, so don't worry too much and enjoy your shield experience. Like all Shield products the concept is great and the design is beautiful being able to use Nvidia Grid on a wired connection is amazing i was able to stream games at 1080i. So there is good news too combined with the expanding list of problems.

The unfortunate acronym SHIELD= (S)ome (H)opefull (I)ndividuals (E)xperiencing (L)acking (D)esigns ;) seems to be true...
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] visitor29:
So this means when console is off mode but not unplugged from power socket hard drive keep spinning inside? That not good at all, should be known kind of idle, sleep or standby mode. Looks like on first day one if any of this symptoms appear I'm mean pixellation / slowing and specially and of course can't get over 1.4 means better use amazon refund straight away.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] visitor29:
Received today instead of 6 October, first what I done this is upgrade 1.4 and all get through without issues. :o:o:o:o
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznmode:
So I finally updated to 1.4 and got the same issue as everyone had here. So Nvidia sent me a replacement. I wasn't sure what I had in my current unit so I wanted to see if there was a way to factory reset it even though I could not get past fastboot. At first I tried to boot it into recovery via fastboot screen but it just rebooted into a black screen. I eventually found this online. http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answ...-reset-shield-android-tv-to-factory-settings?

After the last step where it says to hold the power button for 5 seconds (I mightve held it longer) it rebooted and I got the boot screen to come up. And now it's completely operational. Wth? Anyway I'm glad it's working now so I can factory reset before I send it back to them.

Fingerprint sensor and laser auto focus , can you please add those?
[OnePlus 2 Android Development] RISHI RAJ:
Yes thats only stopping me from flashing roms
[OnePlus 2 Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
I ask this with respect, but are you even the original developer of this ROM? Or the other 3 ROMs that you've posted here? It feels like you might have just copied and pasted OPs, and then provided people with an untested version you just compiled and uploaded.
[OnePlus 2 Android Development] aniket.lamba:
I'm not the 'original' developer of this ROM.I build ROMs and release them on XDA after the testers test it and report to me.So technically there's no way that my ROMs won't boot.You can look at my other ROMs that I've posted in XDA and take the feedback from the users that are using it.
[OnePlus 2 Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Is there a reason why your "testers" are consistently missing the fact that things like the fingerprint sensor aren't working, and that you don't seem to have a "Known Issues" list on any of the four ROM threads that you created within 2 hours?
[OnePlus 2 Android Development] aniket.lamba:
The bugs are same as that of CM12.1 by Grarak.There's no stable device trees other than Grarak's,now you're insisiting so much,I'll put them in the OP.
[OnePlus 2 Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
I'm not "insisting so much". There is a standard of development that most of XDA's developers abide by. If you're really going to simultaneously maintain 4 different ROMs at once, the least you can do is give your users a bit more information than that which you blindly copy from another thread's OP, especially if you have no intention of running any of them yourself (I assume you at least have the device itself, but now, I'm not so sure)

I looked through your started threads, it seems you have a habit of compiling a bunch of different ROMs and putting them up with little to no testing whatsoever. I'm not sure if you thought no one would notice that the only 4 ROM threads in this section are all from you and they were all posted within an hour or two.

Good luck with your "development". I don't think I need to add anything else to this thread.
[OnePlus 2 Android Development] aniket.lamba:
Nevermind,I updated the first post with the bug list so the users can take a look at the bugs in the original CM12.1 thread.
[OnePlus 2 Android Development] v7:
I agree to what [MENTION=788951]LiquidSolstice[/MENTION] said.It's not a big deal to build a bunch of ROMs and post them over the development forum.Maintaining them are difficult. It would've been much better if you maintain a single ROM and work with it.Now you have like 3-4 WIP ROMs without proper testing and it seems like you doesn't own the device :rolleyes:

Tapped from my ①+②=❸ ;)
[OnePlus 2 Android Development] aniket.lamba:
Sorry if I'm being a douchebag

I maintain all of my ROMs thoroughly.I still say,maintaining is NOT an issue for me.I give out the ROMs to the testers,they test the ROM and report me back with their issues/bugs (if any).I've been building ROMs since 5 months and I like sharing my work with all the people.Yeah,sure thing,anyone can take a look at the ROM building guides out there and make builds and post here,just like me.I've been working on other development projects too (other than building ROMs) but they're not ready yet.You see,interacting with other developers and tech people increases your morale and confidence to do pull yourself deep into the core of the stuff you're working on.For some other guys,I'm just a douchebag who got a good PC with some decent specs and builds all day.Yeah,hell yeah I'm a noob with little development skills,but I'm learning stuff day by day,incorporating and applying that knowledge into my development.I try to maintain all my projects so the users don't get disappointed.I don't have enough money to buy a server so I got a decent PC and start building on it.My only motive is to spread my projects all across the XDA,sharing stuff with people makes me happy.It's just a start,I'm reaching out to the most valuable and efficient developers here in XDA so that I can gain more knowledge.Ofcourse,I am not the greatest dev here but I want to become like one of them.Even though I might be the sh*ttiest maintainer in this whole XDA,but I try to maintain all of my ROMs so that the users don't get disappointed.
[OnePlus 2 Android Development] v7:
[MENTION=4743557]aniket.lamba[/MENTION] In other forums,users may ask you to build multiple ROMs and maintain them.But IMO the best way to be a good dev is to properly maintain one good ROM for the community,giving regular updates and interacting with the users.As you know the OPT dev forum will be as popular as the OPO or Nexus ones,the best way to satisfy users is to concentrate on one good ROM and provide your valuable support for it.This is my personal opinion!

Tapped from my ①+②=❸ ;)
[OnePlus 2 Android Development] aniket.lamba:
I respect your opinion but I'd still consider it my way,expanding my base and providing more support of ROMs to the community.I just wanna make sure that nobody makes a buzz about me maintaining multiple ROMs while I build on my little machine. :)

I have searched for quite a while and haven't found this exact problem.

I have an at&t 8525 and cannot connect to my Wi-Fi. I turn on the WLAN and wait for the phone to discover the connection points. I select my Wi-Fi point and it asks me for my key. I enter the key and after a delay, it displays the "Key Code is invalid" and asks for it again. I have verified the key against my wireless router and it is correct. I have successfully connected to the Wi-Fi once (after many attempts to enter the key), but have never been successful since.

I have deleted the settings and had the phone re-discover the connection and also tried to set up the connection manually. Nothing works. Any ideas?

Thanks for any help!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Mark Crouch:
You don't say what ROM version you're using and whether it's WM5 or WM6.....

Some of the cooked WM6 ROMs require you to "pretend" that your WLAN is a hidden network (i.e. the SSID is not broadcast, even if it is). You need to go to Start | Settings | Connections tab | Wi-Fi (assuming you have this!) and then tap & hold the required WLAN from the list, select Edit and tick the box that says "This is a hidden network". Then click Next until you get to the end of the process and you

should

be able to connect to that WLAN successfully.

HTH, Mark.

When you enter the key...are you entering the actual key, or just the passphrase which is used to create the key??

the device needs the key and not the passphrase.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Cycles4Fun:
