[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk1keith:
Yes I have no problem with video playback, in Genesis or any other streaming app Netflix etc. Because even though I'm not getting the connection speed I think I should be getting it's still more than fast enough to stream HD content. I just want to know why the connection speed seems to be capped on the Fire TV 2. Like I mentioned when my Fire TV 1 was on the same tv, same powerline adapter same router everything the speeds were consistently between 28-38 mbps, where as the Fire TV 2 maxes out at like 17 mbps. That can't be right. If no one else is seeing the same thing on their Fire TV 2 I'm wondering if it isn't my specific device?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyt3rry:
I'm not sure maybe try connecting directly to the router and checking to see if the power line isn't causing it even if your ftv 1 had better speeds

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk1keith:
Thanks for the suggestion. Yeah that was gonna be my next step. Didn't really want to have to do that because of where my Fire TV 2 is. Think I'm gonna have to try it though, if for no other reason to rule out the powerline.

Thx
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyt3rry:
Yeah I've always wanted to go power line but seen that some factors can cause latency like how old the wireing is in the house
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk1keith:
Yeah I have a few powerline adapters and they work really well. I did connect my Fire TV 2 directly to the router via ethernet and the speeds hit 61mbps....connected to the powerline i can't get more than 18mbps on Fire TV 2. However, when I connect my Fire TV 1 to the same powerline I get speeds of 28-38 and higher consistently. Although I'm not having any buffering issues on the Fire TV 2 I would like to know why the speedtest results are so low. Is it a driver issue on the Fire TV 2?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajsaww:
I have two questions I was hoping some people with stock android could help with:

1. How do you have a homescreen with no icons? I have my favorite apps in folders along the bottom so don't need anything else on the screen. If I try this, android deletes the page and uses my second page as the homescreen (full of widgets).

2. Does anyone know how to get more than 4 icons in the favorites along the bottom?

TIA

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabrahamsandwich:
I've been trying to get my Nvidia Shield TV rooted for the last hour and a half or so, and after finally figuring out how to get the Shield recognized with the proper drivers, I get the thing into the bootloader and nothing I plug into it will display the bootloader screen. My projector and both TVs I own show nothing. If I hold the power button down for a while, I'm eventually get some pixelated text that says "Continue to boot" and then the Shield will go into its normal boot routine, but I get nothing else. Apparently to unlock the bootloader I need to be able to interact with the Shield, but I can't do that if there's no screen. I can't find any info on this issue either. Is it possible it has something to do with incorrect drivers?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basti1981:
I had the same problem, none of my display were able to show the bootloader menu.

In short, I could not manage this display problem, theretheless I was able to unlock and root my device by handle blindly.

Have a look at following YouTube video at 14:10 the bootlader menu is shown:

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabrahamsandwich:
I had ended up doing the same thing, Basti. Glad to hear I'm not the only one with the problem though. It's a silly nuisance and the only thing I can think of is that maybe I need a 4K TV or somehow it operates in some mode only PC monitors recognize. The lack of complaints of this issue is surprising.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sw6lee:
Hi guys, recently this has been bugging me a lot. No matter which launcher I use (Nova, Action, Trebuchet, Themer), or ROM (Scrubber, Resurrection, crDroid) I use, many apps look kind of fuzzy in app drawer, but they look crispy on home screen. Any idea why?? It makes the great screen on XZU look pixelated, kind of..

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
That depends on:

- Icon resolution

- Icon size set in options

- DPI

If the icons are low-res and you increase their size from the settings, the only thing you're doing is stretching the icons, making them blurry if they're stretched beyond their resolution.

DPI can also mess things up, but it's normally low-res icons that are to blame. I also believe that Nova has some issues with blurry icons on some ROMs/devices. I'm also experiencing a couple of blurry icons, while others are not. I installed Action Launcher 3 again yesterday, and the icons were somewhat sharper there. Icons are still the sharpest looking with the stock launcher though.

I don't have a solution for you. This is simply something that people, including me, experience, and I'm not sure how to solve it. What I can tell you is that it's not a ROM issue, so you can stop flashing ROMs to trynsolving the issue.

Edit: Make a backup of your homescreen setup, uninstall and install Nova again. That should fix it. If you change the DPI again, uninstall and reinstall.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sw6lee:
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately that method did not work. Icons in dock look fuzzy and app drawer ones too. I even tried not restoring my layout backup but still it was blurry when I increased the icon size to "normal". Without increasing icons look tiny. I have my dpi at 340. I tried 360 and 380 too and they were all fuzzy. When I increase my icons in nova I set it to 130-140 depending on the dpi.

Maybe it's just a bug in Nova??? But in Action launcher icons were overly big and they were even more blurry. On the other hand on Google now launcher, even when icons were huge, they were crisp. Ahh..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
Yup, it is a Nova issue, and there are a few "fixes" out there that doesn't seem to work for everyone. This has been an issue for a long time though, so I'm not sure if it'll ever get fixed. I'm currently using a very high DPI of 480, since it's easy to use the device one handed then, and the icons look... well, some look very sharp, while some others don't. In fact, I see now that the ClickUI icons are the ones that are fuzzy, while the icons from Moonshine and the stock icons are sharp, so it could, in my case, just be some icon pack issue.

Moonshine is XXX-HDPI or 192x192, but I can't find ClickUI's resolution, but I think that maybe it's 144x144, so naturally it won't scale as well as higher res icons when I make them bigger, and it ends up making them fuzzy.

Download some 192x192 icon packs (just search for "192x192 icons" or something on the Play Store), apply them and see if they're fuzzy. If they're not, problem solved. If they are, then I have no idea anymore :silly:

EDIT: Just installed Elun, which is 192x192, and they're all sharp.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sw6lee:
Thanks. Actually, I just tried dpi of 480, and it seems to make icons sharper. Especially in Themer, icons look so much better, where with lower dpi, icons looked pixelated and ugly. Thanks a lot. You've been helpful. :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] gripusa:
is there any possibility that i can update windows OS 2002 to 2003 or others ??
[Verizon LG G3] satis5ied:
Right now I've downgraded to 4.4.2 10b. I'm wanting to flash the Resurrection rom. I'm rooted and have twrp installed. When i try updating right now i get a wrong baseband error. Do i need to update to a more current version of android before flashing this rom? I've been out of the flashing roms business for awhile. I was using a much outdated rom before. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Verizon LG G3] PiousInquisitor:
May I suggest you review the XDA rules. You just broke #1. Next time search within the thread, then within the whole forum for whatever it is you need. If that doesnt turn anything up please post your ROM related questions in the ROM thread. The answer to your question is in the thread. If you would have searched "baseband" you would have found your answer.

Anyway. You need to flash the 23c (24b should work too) modem before you flash the ROM. I suggest you just flash the whole bootstack (which includes the modem). You can find it in XDABBEBs ROM thread.
[Nexus Player Accessories] Azimuth0r:
Has anyone found a Bluetooth remote (preferably with keyboard) but most importantly with a programmable IR blaster to control the other home theater equipment and a mic for voice control on Nexus Player?
[Nexus Player Accessories] unvaluablespace:
I personally haven't tried with the nexus player yet but if anyone is willing to give it a shot, might i suggest this:

http://www.amazon.com/Rii-mini-i13-...TF8&qid=1447105809&sr=8-6&keywords=rii+remote

Had it for PC for awhile before I gave up on wireless air mouse (air mouse kinda sucks on a PC to me) and gave it to a friend, but I did try on my nexus 5 via usb OTG adapter and worked pretty well for what it was worth on the little screen. Heres what I remember about it:

the IR function allows you to program up to 8 devices via IR. to program you point the IR lights at eachother and hold down the corresponding button on the rii13 until the blue light flashes, then press the button you want the rii13 to learn on the other remote. This was nice and essentially allowed full customization of the IR side of the remote, but made programming take a little more time than finding a code and pressing it to match the device you want to program. Only real downsides i found to the IR side of the remote was the IR emitter was kind of weak. Depending on the device, you had to sometimes point either real close or aim just right to get the remote to work. Devices with good IR receivers werent much of an issue. For example, my Samsung tv was easy to aim and control, but my remote control tower fan was always tricky to point at, even directly aiming. the other downside was rapid Ir blasting was lacking. for example, my samsung tv i could press the volume down button rapidly or hold it down to make volume turn down quickly. on the rii13, input works, but was rather slow. there would always feel like a short pause between presses.

keyboard and mice work well on the rii13. keyboard side was pretty responsive, and mouse featured 3 different speed settings. downside was that whenever the mouse/keyboard function would be turned off, the speed setting reset back to default when turned on. The device also has microphone/speaker output. speaker wasnt that great, but worked. microphone wasnt awful but left a bit to be desired. it was as though there was feedback preventing the voice software on my pc to properly detect what i said. interestingly i dont recall this issue on my nexus 5, but then again i only played around with it on there, so dont have much experience. the mic does not have a push to talk button. I think its always on, as i recall simply saying "okay google" on my nexus 5 to activate it. :)

Now I know this all sounds awful, but i dont have much to compare it to other rii branded devices. for all i know, the other rii devices could have the same IR issues, etc. maybe i had a faulty unit. But I think it might be worth a shot to try and play with on the nexus player if anyone is curious or interested. Perhaps you dont care about the mic/speaker functions, in which case maybe the IR "issues" i had might not bother you that much. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petedake:
Hello,

Today I was looking to some beautiful CM11 themes but I found out that in order to install them you have to first of all root your device and then do a bunch of other things. The thing is that I have never rooted a phone before, so I could really use some help. If anyone was willing to explain me in simple words without technical terms how to root the phone and then help me with the custom ROM thing. any help would be very much appreciated. I'm using LG Magna.

Thank you! :D :D

I don't believe CyanogenMod supports your device. For rooting instructions, typically it depends on which software version it's on. This would be found in Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Software Version.

[General Questions and Answers] tonyboy29:
Hi all.

OK so i will try and keep this as concise as possible.

I want to display coordinates live WITHOUT having to press the screen. I am trying to automate a game using adb shell input tap/swipe etc. That is all going fine, but the question is how do i get coords on screen without accidently moving the screen or having to long press with the dev options grey bar.

If i tap, the coords appear and disapear too quickly to read, but if i long tap it moves the screen a little and opens a menu in the game, which again moves the screen.

So possible solutions i can see, but dont know how to do/if possible...

1. make dev options tab display x/y coords after screen is released.

2. using s-pen (im on galaxy note 3) hover function to display coordinates lives (best and preferred)

3. some sort of overlay app to stop screen moving but still make background visible ..

anyone any other ideas, or know how to accomplish one of the above? preferably 2 or 3, or both.
[General Questions and Answers] BrokenStars:
Recently, I found a repack of Cyanogenmod 12 for the Gionee M3. I decided to install it, but all that happened was that it wiped my system partition and spat out this error:

"ApplyParsedPerms: lsetfilecon of /system/lost+found to u:object_r:systemset_metadata_recursive: some changes failed"

According to the TWRP file manager, there was nothing at all in the system partition but a folder called "bin" (which I suspect was added when TWRP asked me if I wanted to root it). I went through the installer script, but I was having some trouble because I can't tell what half of it actually does. From what I can tell, though, it copied the releasekey, then formatted the partition, then went through a big long list with "symlink" a lot of times and what looked like a list of every file that would be in the new system partition. It quit, from what I can tell, after it got down to the "metadata" section which began with a "set_metadata_recursive" command.

Does anybody know what this means, and how I can work around it?

(I'd experienced an error with this same ROM before, but it told me to do a factory reset. Now I'm having this error instead.)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DeniaL:
Ok, so apparently the newest information is that the Kaiser will now be released on September 17th. This comes straight from an HTC rep. The reason behind this is that there are still too many 8525's in the AT&T stores. They want to get rid of more of the 8525's before releasing the 8925. So now we have to wait longer! :( But on a good side, I heard the "build quality" of this phone makes the 8525 look like a piece of crap. Also, it is waaaaaay faster than the 8525. Go Kaiser!

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] digfive3:
About a year ago I successfully rooted my SGH-T769 with a version of CWM using ODIN, and today I am trying to unroot it by installing original ROMS... I factory reset the phone and cleared dalvik and what-not, but now when I try to boot up the phone, I am stuck at the Galaxy S Blaze splash screen. I figured "oh well I only need to get into DOWNLOAD MODE"

So I turn the phone off and attempt to get into download mode using MANY different methods.

(all 3 buttons, release power; all 3 buttons, plug in, release power; two buttons, insert battery, release volume; ECT.)

I'VE TRIED IT ALL.

Is there maybe an app I can get on my computer that will boot the phone into DOWNLOAD MODE when I plug it in?

Or is there a fix for this?

(NOTE: I CAN STILL ACCESS CWM RECOVERY MODE BUT THAT DOESN'T SEEM TOO USEFUL)
