[General Questions and Answers] NaturalBornCamper:
Hello guys, for the previous year I would say, I have read about repartitioning MTK phones, starting with my old Cubot MTK6572 (Rest In Peace) to my current Doogee MTK6582.

I have tried countless times to repartition using the EBRTweak utility, or changing the EBR1 & EBR2 files myself but it never, ever works.. :( I always manage to get in the first initial boot and have a false victory where I see that I have re partitioned successfully, but after I reboot after, I always get a boot loop after that initial boot.

For editing the EBR files, I have tried

:

-Using EBRTweak

-Editing myself by changing the values from scratch by making calculations with sectors, bytes and addresses

-Editing myself by

First adding a value in the /data partition length, adding that value

Second adding that same value to the start address of the FAT partition

Third removing that same value to the length of the FAT partition

For flashing the EBR files, I have tried

:

-Flashing all the patitions with SP flash tools with the new EBR files (without changing the Scatter file)

-Flashing all the patitions with SP flash tools with the new EBR files (changing the Scatter file)

-Flashing only the EBR partitionsa on a working ROM

-Flashing the EBR files using an updater-script via a custom recovery

With each of these methods, all my calculations were exact when I verified everything (to the byte), including using "disktype" command in Linux.

So after one year of failure, I finally decided to post on XDA to ask for help... please,

please

, does anyone know why the first boot works but the second boot always ends up in a boot loop? :silly:

I emailed Doogee engineers and they told me that u cant re-partition it

I dont know whats the purpose of the repartition...
[General Questions and Answers] NaturalBornCamper:
Some phones (Notably the Mediatek "MTK" phones) are known to have a very small internal storage for your applications.

This is because the storage usually attributed to applications 6GB on the MTK6582 is split in two parts:

1- 1.3gb for applications

2- 4.7gb for an internal sd-card to put music and movies

But nobody uses internal sd-card much, because we all have external sd cards of 32gb or more. This means that you have a 4.7GB that is completely unused and an internal storage for applications of 1.3gb that gets full as soon as you install a few applications like Facebook, Youtube (that use a LOT of space nowadays), or update your system apps.

All this is completely ridiculous so a few people and I are trying to make repartition and have more space for application, while getting rid of that useless "internal sd-card"
[General Questions and Answers] bestmedever:
exactly

yeah that's what I'm saying, I talked with MTK engineers but they just replay with "if you re-partition your phone, it will brick" over and over, I told them to just give me a solution, like changing EBR files or something, and I know how to unbrick MTK phones, but they didn't care at all, the problem is: why they just put all the storage as an internal storage instead of phone storage and internal storage, it's pathetic to put phone storage and SD card storage at same time...
[General Questions and Answers] NaturalBornCamper:
WOW! You actually managed to talk to them? That is awesome, we could have a lead here, don't let that go, friend!

I'm happy that you agree with me however and all the thousands of people with the same problem. Maybe if you tell them that you don't care about bricking your phone and the warranty, that you just like to play around and you have a backup phone anyways (to convince them to answer).

You could tell them that the repartitioning works on the first initial boot, but ends up in a boot loop after you reboot a second time. If they don't want to tell us how to fix it, they could at least tell us why this is happening so we could research on the subject.

Thanks for your help, I'll hit "thanks" on your post! ;)
[Samsung Gear Fit] tris85:
Does anyone here maybe know if there are plans for the "old" Gear Fit to support non Samsung devices? Since I upgraded my phone (HTC One M7) to Lollipop I can't use the smatchwatch anymore. I know there are solutions to connect it to non Samsung devices but most of all I use App Connect applications. They are almost not working and every version needs to be patched for my devices - that's not a proper solution for me.

So I'm slowly thinking of selling / throwing away my handy watch :crying:
[Samsung Gear Fit] garrax:
I recently sent a mail to assistance....It was unexpected but they answered to me :eek:

Unfortunately they go on with their politics and FIT will remain where it is. It must be connected to a samsung device to be fully functional.

Read the forum, every single thread, and you will find a lot of solutions, also patched apps for APP manager, I did it and now I like my FIT.
[Samsung Gear Fit] tris85:
Thank you for your response! Too bad Samsung is not going to support it. Patching all the apks I need every time an update occures is just too time-consuming for me - but thank you for your answer!

Hi members.

As the title says i created a flashable zip.

I did not test the zip myself. No errors occurred during creation.

I used

XZDualRecovery locked bootloaders v 2.8.21

SuperSU v 2.46

Stock C6903 Customized DE 1277-0154 14.6.A.0.368 R2D

It would be helpfull if anybody who has downloaded and flashed the zip could confirm that it is working or not.

Download

[Xperia Z1 General] motorazrv3:
Only wanted to confirm that the zip is working.

Can you please give me direction on how to download and install a uk Stock rom for s6 edge 64gb
[XDA Assist] Calin:
Hi again, if you bought the phone new, (so never touched) the options like hotspot should be there (only if the carrier don't allow hotspot) but usually it should be the option available, you just need to search them.

If you really can't resist and want to flash a custom ROM head over here: Sprint Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development

Also you posted a new thread this morning the same as this one, so in order to don't create confusions the other one will be closed.

Next time wait for the answer, even a day!

Regards
[XDA Assist] troygh:
Thanks a lot,

I have downloaded the rom can you please direct me on how to install it
[XDA Assist] Calin:

Hello, i don't know if this is the place, but maybe someone can help me! I am waiting more than 42h from a reply of Google Play Developer about one appeal. this is normal or maybe trash folder? Is my second appeal but this time I have sent documentation with permission of the game's developer to publish this app. I don't think that I need it, I have made one app that show Information of the Game Patch Notes, and the title was "ARK Patch Updates (unofficial), I have put unofficial because is not official. But google: Reason: Violations of Intellectual Property and Impersonation. The first time I have sent one message where I told that my app don't violate nothing. But google told me that yes. Then I have contacted with game's team and they have given to me the accreditation.

I am awaiting more than 45 hours the google play team response.

Google usually reply on 24h more or less. Thanks

I apologize by my English.

Sure, it's handy to see your time when you look at your watchface. It's a watch, it should show that.

But if I wish to use any action on the phone, its always behind some menu, first have to slide 2 or 3 things

what I'd like is to on my watchface:

- start adding google keep note

- start a timer

- show my heartrate

- start app

Is there a watchface that does something like that?

I enjoyed swAPP launcher, however, that doesn't work anymore
[Moto 360] Espchristian:
I'm using one that maybe goes with what are you looking for.

Its called Minimal & Elegant and its very customizable

I cant put a link but i think that you should find it very quick

Sorry for my english :)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
Buddy of mine has stock uprooted Nexus 6 and all his videos (including YouTube) keep playing with screen off. How is this even possible ? He doesn't even have music key with YouTube and no background playback settings, other vids on websites etc also play with screen off for him
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonikJDK:
Does he have a Google Music subscription? I do and that comes with it. Pretty handy at times.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yea it is, love that feature! but yea, you havs to subscribe to google play music, that feature is a bonus part of it :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
Like I said, he doesn't have any subscriptions and she doesn't even have those additional settings in YouTube app. ALL videos in ALL apps play with screen off for him
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
well, then he has an account. i had a free 6 month account recently, maybe he has the same, but forgot. because that is the only way it will happen. only way.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonikJDK:
All Nexus 6's came with that. I agree with your assessment of the situation.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
He doesn't have any account, and like I said, he doesn't have any settings in YouTube associated with any account or background playback (I do, he doesn't) and its not just YouTube, its all videos. When I shut my screen off my videos stop, his continue playing
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Волк:
Could be an xposed module. Namely "YouTube Background Playback". But it's not currently working, in need of an update.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
He is not rooted.

At first I thought it some Youtube glitch, but when we tested other apps they all work with screen off
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
and i bet he can listen to any band or any song using google play music, thats what happens when you either use a free subscription or a paid subscription for google play music.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
no he cant because he doesnt have free or paid subscribtion
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
There's no setting in youtube. It's not designed to play in the background. The fact it does is probably due to some app or something.

A reset will fix it but all data will be lost. Otherwise, remove apps 1 at a time until you find the culprit.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
theres not a single issue posted anywhere about youtube playing in ths background. as far as i know, having the google play service, either free or paid, is the only way to get it to play in the background.

edit.. i did find a way around this, but it appears to be the only way.. https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-play-youtube-videos-in-the-background
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I'm sorry, if this sounds rude, but I don't think you've been reading the thread properly and you keep repeating the same irrelevant thing.

The OP is not asking HOW to get all videos to keep playing in the background as a request.. The OP is asking for help BECAUSE all videos ARE playing in the background, when they shouldn't be.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
Well I am not really asking for help. Its my buddies phone and he is totally fine with this glitch. I just wanted to know how it's all possible. I do have Music Key and with that subscription Play Music settings look a bit different and YouTube App settings as well have extra options, his phone doesn't have any of that.....and I repeat, its not even rooted, its been working like this for him since he purchased it new
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It's a glitch.

The only way to get YouTube to do that is xposed.

I guess I owe [MENTION=1811927]simms22[/MENTION] an apology. Seems it's me not reading properly.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
It is a glitch, but its just very weird
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
hey, does your buddy get a notification in the status bar when he has a video playing in the background?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
No, he can only do screen off with whatever app in foreground, background playback doesn't work
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
Funny my YouTube background playback recently stopped working and I do have the subscription.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
arevyou signed into google play music?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
As far as I know yes. In app it tells me subscription good till 11/21/16. I am running Android M by the way. I tried clearing cache etc, nothing works. YouTube has the setting but it doesn't work anymore
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
odd. im on marshmallow as well, works here. have you tried uninstalling youtube, rebooting, then reinstalling it?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
Uninstalling yes, rebooting no. Will try again later
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
Nope, doesn't work anymore no matter what I do.....I am not even rooted and my background playback setting is ON. Will contact Google since its sort of a paid feature
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
"I appreciate you reaching out to us about this issue.

We’ve received reports from other customers of a problem similar to the one you described.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
oh, so its not just a "you" issue.. so there is hope :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
Fixed now after youtube app update
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
ha! i got the update yesterday and mine stopped playing in the background, lol :)

So I've just ordered the op2 from the UK site, does it come with a UK charger does anyone know? I'm hoping it does considering its from them but not seen anyone confirm this
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Yes it comes with a UK charger, rated at 5v/2amp :)
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LOGMD:
Yep got 2 OP2's both UK chargers :) ordered from the .net/uk site and paid in GPB

also any of you guys on vodafone? im wondering if they truely support all the native gsm frequences (not 4g) both my s5 work phone and OP2 on vodafone, there are places where my s5 will have 5 bars signal and the OP2 none at all (3g & GSM)

I'm on three so hopefully it'll work alright :/
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
I'm on Three and it's all OK so far, although only just started using my OP2 as I was going to return it originally and currently in the Lakes where signal is non-existent for any network!
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosswaa:
I was debating whether to just sell it when it arrives and get the Nexus 5x but the specs are a disappointment on it tbh. Think I might stick with the op2 and hope android 6 arrives sharpish when it's released
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
I bought a Nexus 5 as well as it took two weeks for my OP2 to arrive, and I did try to sell it on eBay once it finally arrived but no one was biting so sent the Nexus 5 back. Might get a Nexus 5X/6P depending on what they finally look like cause I wouldn't expect Marshmallow for a few months on the OP2. As much as I don't care about the lack of NFC I would like to use Android Pay once in the UK and this is obviously a no on the OP2 so changing again may be the way to go...
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosswaa:
Yeh I really wanted the Nexus 5x, I've had every nexus released and love them. But the 5x is just disappointing . the oneplus 2 spec wise destroys it except the lack of NFC which would be nice but would never use it (bank card is wireless) and fast charge but I only charge my phone when I sleep anyway so that no biggie.

The one thing that's questionable is the USB C only being a reported USB 2

Another thing that got me thinking was the charging on the op2 is at 2amps with the screen off but when the screen is on it drops to 1amp. I've always used 2.1amp car charger to charge as fast as possible whilst running satnav and Bluetooth audio otherwise the phones never charge fast enough to stay charged. I'm hoping it only does this with their wall charger and will charge at 2.1amp on the car charger with the screen on
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Yeah I've never used NFC on my phone either but it would've been nice to have the option to use Android Pay. It's more having the latest Android release early that I love the Nexus series phones but the OP2 is a great phone
