To tell you the truth , I am pretty happy with the current OS and I would think of few things to be fixed in it

1. Quick action screen needs to have more options (Auto-rotate on/off is a must) instead of going to settings to do every time.

2. I am ok with carousel, but it would be nice to have the option to turn it on and off and to actually control my home screen a bit more.

3. Contacts, Dialer and SMS apps needs to be updated to something better as they are from the stone age.

4. Mail app should have (select all) option

5. Lock screen to have pattern option !

6. Having the ability assign a song as a ringtone

7. Built in play to (Chromecast or Apple TV) would be a plus specially for the Prime video apps

8. Give us Android underground !

9. Enhance the cloud apps ( look at Apple photos for inspiration) , the Apple photo app is almost flawless and the sync between devices is out standing.

10. Give me the ability to sync my itunes music library and playlists to my Fire Phone

I sincerely love my Fire phone (even a bit more) than what I loved my iPhone 5s, I will do my best to hang in there for 1 year and if we don't get things done then ill put it in the outdated gadgets drawer and get an iPhone 7 when its out.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ratbags:
I think there may be a v5 and maybe sooner than we think as two games I have called xenowerk and space marshals have updates which say fire os 5 compatibility. Make of that what you will.
[Amazon Fire Phone] RDilus:
if one of you is smart downgrade then download the upgrade and share it with everyone so everyone can enjoy the OTA :)

well some ppl don't get it even i have a ATT unlocked one i did not get the update yet
[Amazon Fire Phone] mad1980:
I was bored in the office so I did a Mayday call, we went through few steps to upgrade the SW and it didn't work.

The guy told me that for now they released it for few random customers and in few days they will release it for everyone...he couldn't even push it for me.

All we need to do is simply wait :D
[Amazon Fire Phone] RDilus:
lol that sound like a cold lie release it to random customers? bs all day
[Amazon Fire Phone] Farlicimo:
Maybe or maybe not. When I was on republic wireless they would do "soak tests" of about 1k users and if it didn't blow up for a week or two would roll out the rest.
[Amazon Fire Phone] liuhaychiv:
After waiting a few days, finally i got an updated to V4.6.5. Google play store work fine.
[Amazon Fire Phone] mad1980:
Any noticeable differences ?
[Amazon Fire Phone] liuhaychiv:
There is nothing different, but the only thing is google play store and google play services work fine.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Broonale:
This update made the phone almost perfect for me!

My Google apps work now! Even Google+ and Locations works after sideloading.

Now the last thing driving me crazy is the swipe up for back!

Things I miss are live wallpaper and pattern lock screen, but that's so minor compared to have Google apps fixed!
[Amazon Fire Phone] ulises.rodriguez:
Broonale, if Swiping Up, for going Back, is driving you crazy !

Maybe you could try the "Back Button" APP, that is available in the Google Play Store, and that works Flawlessly with the Amazon Fire Phones:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appspot.app58us.backkey

Descripción

Soft-key of the back button.

I work does not require root.

The Floating Button and the Navigation Bar are displayed.

The home button and the notification bar can be displayed. The displayed button can be selected.

The Button or Widget can move in long push.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Broonale:
Thanks, I'll try it out!
[Amazon Fire Phone] hanjosep:
I would also recommend Simple Control. It's highly customizable and you can make it pop up on sliding on the side, which is really convenient.

[Amazon Fire Phone] mad1980:
I love the swipe for back "Hopefully they will never change it" !

Google working well for me , I was hoping for unlock pattern !
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Download link is available for public access: update-32.4.6.5_465000520.bin

It says "kindle" in the file name, reminds of the early images where it said "juniper", etc. They should stick with a pattern. ;)

[Amazon Fire Phone] ulises.rodriguez:
Thanks Bingo Bronson for the download link, of the 4.6.5 update for the Fire Phones!*

http://fire-phone-updates.s3.amazon...HC5/update-kindle-32.4.6.5_user_465000520.bin

However, I am A little confused... After checking the download links at Amazon, it seems that the above update is for the ATT only and not for the Unlocked USA version ??*

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201607550

So apparently the latest update available for the Fire phone (Unlocked GSM) is still: Fire OS 4.6.3*

If available, could you please post the download link for the update for the Fire phone USA (Unlocked GSM)?
[Amazon Fire Phone] hanjosep:
I believe it should work on both models. However I don't see a reason to upgrade to 4.6.5 since Google play store works fine for on 4.6.3, just broken on 4.6.4 (which wasn't even released for unlocked) ... Are there any substantial bug fixes?
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
The update was for the AT&T version, as previously stated, since only people with 4.6.4 (or older AT&T variants) were notified about the update.

I know, it's "very" detailed. ;)
[Amazon Fire Phone] hanjosep:
Ohh, so it doesn't work with unlocked then?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ulises.rodriguez:
Thanks Bingo Bronson for the Quick Reply!

It is as I thought, because I have two Unlocked Amazon Fire Phones and none of them have received any update, only the current 4.6.3, that also in the amazon.com page says it's the latest ...
[Amazon Fire Phone] beeson76:
I was really hoping for the 4.6.5 update when I saw in one of the earlier post that it is suppose to fix a problem with people not receiving text. I have an unlocked GSM phone and my texting is really chaotic. It may be up to 2 hours that I dont get text, and when I do it sends text when I get a new text message. So I wonder how many text I don't get. I know my wife has gotten mad at me several times when I don't respond to her text in a timely manner and it is all because of this phone. Just curious...anybody else having the problem with both the 4.6.3 rom and 4.6.4 rom and has the 4.6.5 fixed it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] hanjosep:
Texting works fine for me, and I use the Textra app. Try using Textra.
[Amazon Fire Phone] beeson76:
I will give it shot. I don't know if the problem lies with hardware or software on this phone. I won't get text messages for a long time, but then all of sudden I get a mass incoming of text messages and then I look at the times of them and realize that some are 2 hours old. I think I realize the problem more on Wifi when it is acting as my data and the network is there for the phone calls, and text. I don't know if the problem lies in the kernel...maybe it is not raising a flag that a text message has been received. I also have noticed that the sync does sync immediately when I hit the syn button too. Maybe the problems are related. So I really don't know if another texting app will help or not if the app does not get a flag that a text was received. But I will give it shot though. I appreciate the suggestion though.
[Amazon Fire Phone] MPbn80:
I too have had this problem, I have an ATT version unlocked and firmware changed over to the unlocked version. I am on straight talk. The problem does seem to be worse when connected to WIFI, also I downloaded an app to quiet the phone overnight, that seemed to prevent any notifications at all even though the app did not do that on my previous phone. Removed all quiet time apps and the issue did get better, but occasionally I will get a call but not a voicemail notification for up to an hour. Like you if I send myself a test message sometimes many messages will flow through at once. The odd thing is that the time stamps on those backed up messages will be correct as if the phone knew they were there but just didn't notify me or put them in the messaging app.... Very odd.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Djfirephone:
Turn off lte. I was having the same problem. When I switched to 3g/2g the problem went away. All my texts come in fine now. I think lte doesn't play nice with WiFi.
[Amazon Fire Phone] kaaskop:
I upgraded (adb sideload update.bin) from 4.6.3 (rooted) to 4.6.5. Already had google play working.

Rooted again with Kingroot succesfully and removed some AT&T apps with Kinguser.

And reinstalled SuperSU.

No problems so far.
[Amazon Fire Phone] mad1980:
guys,

I have the unlocked version of the phone, what exactly will happen if I updated using the AT&T software ? Would I brick my phone or will it be locked to AT&T
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
It won't work as a regular update on the GSM unlocked version, you can only replace your current version with the AT&T version via ADB sideload = complete waste of time.

Why? You would end up with the same OS and a couple of AT&T apps / features.

No, the phone won't be (net)locked, since this information is saved in the hardware and will not be affected by the firmware.
[Amazon Fire Phone] mad1980:
Thought it might fix bugs and increase stability ?
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Apparently, only the AT&T version needed maintenance. I'm sure Amazon would release an update for the GSM unlocked version as well, if needed.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rike2990:
I've been wanting to install CloudyG2 v3.3 to my D802 and I figured that I'll have to flash KK bootloader.

Where can I find my current D802 rom version (30a?30b?etc...)? - I understand that I need 30a/30d to install the AutoRec KK bootloader.

Should I event try to find it, or can I just flash the latest one? I'm a little bit confused...

P.S - Yes, I've read the D802 NOOB manual.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Cloudy should work on a LP bootloader too as I have an d802 and was running Cloudy.

I recommend using the LG Mobile Support Tool to upgrade to the latest ROM. Then, use the OneClick 802 recovery and root tool to flash TWRP and Cloudy. This is what I did for my 802.

Hi guys

I have a SGP521 (dutch)

I had it rooted, dual recovery installed and flashed prerooted rom.

Now there was an update. A prerooted rom (this one: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2-tablet/general/prerooted-zip-customized-bal-t3212176/page2

HELP !!!!!

i wanted to update my tablet and wanted to update it with this prerooted rom.

So i went into (dual) recovery....philz.

i cleared cache,dalvik and (user)data.

wanted to flash the zip from this thread.....but downloaded it onto internal sdcard......but that was gone due to the data format. I downloaded it again on external sd card.

Now it comes:

i wanted to reboot the device again into recovery........but it didnt react at all after the format...so i used a hard reset (pin on red square next to sim)

Now when i power it on...it only gets to SONY logo.........there is no vibration to get into recovery !!! It doesnt boot at all. The device doesnt even show the charge logo when connected to usb/charger...and the PC doesnt recognize the device (off course...because it doenst boot at all!!!).

What have i done and what can i do about it ????

Any thoughts. Both N9200 and N9208 support the same LTE bands. I assume the difference is something to do with level of Chinese language support? I ask as I have N9208 and this set to English does not work consistently for keyboard predictions and S Pen handwriting input, not as good as the UK only Note 4.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jah:
I did some research. Looks like both models the same except N9208 is dual SIM. So both probably have special support for Chinese.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @home:
No such problems here - Set mine to English & everything is in English.

both N9200 and N9208 are dual-sim

but N9200 it have extra CDMA bands (2G CDMA - CDMA800 , 3G CDMA- BC0(800), 3G TD-SCDMA B34(2010), B39(1880))

N9200 are for Hong Kong and China Open

N9208 are for Taiwan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Mayanmar, Indonesia, India, Mayalesia, Philipines

in rest are the same
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avig1985:
I have a N9200 HK model which I got imported. Now I am using the phone in India, is it possible to flash N9208 firmware on N9200 from sammobile via odin as both are dual sim phones with same hardware.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racesupport:
so... when I put rom from N9208 to N9200 should be ok with bands on second sim ?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anmolkakkar:
I am quite certain that N9208 ROM won't work on N9200 since none of the other N9208 ROMs work on N9208 (not even N9208 Indian ROM works on Taiwan variant) (pretty differently built hardware maybe). Since there is no cross-device compatibility of N9208 with any other, hence I am guessing that vice-versa also may not be possible. It could return an error in ODIN during flashing.

Although, I'd say you may be lucky if you try downloading from sammobile and flashing through ODIN. Let us know how it goes, it may be helpful for folks who have been trying to install cross-device stock ROM on Note5 (especially us N9208 Taiwan variant users). :fingers-crossed:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabuk1:
It's one of the phones on my "maybe" list. The 128gb model isn't too horrendously expensive, so I could probably live with it. I'm definitely going to wait and see what else LG comes out with though.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostZini:
I'm just not feeling the LG stuff anymore. It kills me that these companies drop expandable memory like a bad habit.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ungraph:
Yup. I ordered the 6P in graphite with 128 GBs, shortly after the site went live. I can deal with the no SD card and irremovable battery since it's 3450 mAh.

Plus, the screen is from Samsung's latest gen so it's better than the Note 4's screen. The Nexus imprint and front facing speakers are amazing, and I won't have to rely on T-mobile to push out updates. Can't believe most of us have to flash a custom rom to be up to date with 5.1.1. The days of waiting are finally over.

I am however going to miss my S-Pen. Doodling in snapchat will be sorely missed :(

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlkaliV2:
No one thinks it is weird that the LG V10, a premium device, is going to use the same processor and GPU combination as the Nexus 5X but with twice the resolution and twice the RAM? When someone tells me that they can't run a game on their PC I don't ask them how much RAM they have. Someone, somewhere thinks throwing more RAM in it is a cost-saving upgrade for sluggishness.

If people buy this phone it sends the message that we don't care what silicon is in the phone as long as it "feels premium" and that is a ridiculous notion. Seriously, check out these tests: http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-G4-benchmarked---how-does-the-Snapdragon-808-fare_id68814 It wins in a few categories and but loses in GPU testing. At least get the 14nm Samsung Exynos if you're going to upgrade.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howie Dub:
I ordered the silver one with 128gb. I miss having pure Android. I never rooted and flashed any ROMs on my Note 4 b/c I didn't want to lose wifi calling, but now that it's baked into Marshmallow, getting the 6P was a no brainer for me. Would have loved it in the 5X form, but oh well. I thought I would use the functionality the Note 4 more than I did; I barely use the S Pen. The only thing I might miss would be the ability to have two or more apps open at the same time, but I'm sure there is or will be an app for that.
