Hi, please excuse my english, im spanish.

I have a beautiful Wizard G4 (enclosed as a Cingular phone). I had a lot of fun with the phone, but i think it is time to move on...

Im looking for a replacement of this phone, and i have several requirement for the new phone.

First, it needs a faster cpu. I have never used a hermes, but i've heard that the difference is important with a 400mhz.

Second, it must have a GPs inside, or have a bluetooth with bandwidth to support A2DP and SPP at the same time. I love to run about 8km twice a week and i record my performance with the GPS. I have a pair of a2dp motorola 820 but i can not use the bluetooth GPS and the headset togheter.

Third, it must have an IR interface. Some new phones like Advantage or Kaiser are not carring anymore IR, but i need it to do several things (like Polar HRM download, TV remote).

At last, but not at least, it must be QUADBAND GSM.

These are the basic requirements. I've been looking for other HTC phones and i saw the Trinity which pretty much has everything i need, but it lacks the qwerty. I guess that if something like PocketCMkeyboard works fine, i should be fine.

here are the questions now...

Should i wait a little bit and see what HTC releases?

Should i get a Trinity?

Can i do some sort of IR port on the KAISER or ADVANTAGE using and externar IR interface and the USB interface?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] javigc:
Quick opinion!

if i were you because of the price and the under-developed new stuff for the kaiser i would get a hermes i have both and its not that much of a difference the thing is that hermes has got an irda as you want but no gps and kaiser is the opposite haha pero el hermes le consigues facil algun programa sobre como llevar tu distancia o tiempo bueno tu decide ah y el precio pues el kaiser cuesta el doble y no es para tanto solo es una mejora al hermes. saludos.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxtester:
Dears,

sometimes I find the Notification LED too bright on my Z3 Compact whereas on the Z3 of my wife it could definitely be increased (it's actually hardly visible except in the dark). So, I'm looking for a way to adjust/increase/decrease the brightness of the Notification LED on these mobiles.

Prior to posting this here I checked within XDA forum as well as I googled around a lot, but all solutions I found were for older models (e.g. Xperia S) only. Maybe I'm just too blind to see and someone please point me to the right place. :p

Now, what I found on Z3/Z3C (both of them are on the latest 4.4.4 but should be similar on LP) are the following three directories which I believe is the right place for the modification to do...

/sys/devices/leds-qpnp-f6141a00/leds/led:rgb_blue

/sys/devices/leds-qpnp-f6141a00/leds/led:rgb_green

/sys/devices/leds-qpnp-f6141a00/leds/led:rgb_red

Inside each of the above directories there's a text format file "max_brightness".

For the Z3 the standard values are:

max_brightness = 420 (blue)

max_brightness = 511 (green)

max_brightness = 98 (red)

For the Z3 Compact the standard values are:

max_brightness = 511 (blue)

max_brightness = 511 (green)

max_brightness = 255 (red)

I'm able to open the files, change the value inside and save, but after reboot (which anyways would be required for the new values to come into affect, I think) the old values (files?) got restored automatically. Even I tried to replace the original files with new ones via the Filemanager of TWRP recovery, but it get ERROR code 1 (can't overwrite). :(

Any much valued knowledgeable Dev able to please point me to the right method/direction over here?!

EDIT:

Got a bit further on why these can't be modified directly and even reset themselves over-and-over again. Reason being that "sys" is the mount point for the sysfs pseudo file system, which is a reflection of the kernel's device object structure and the directories represent the kernel objects, and files are attributes of those objects. Hence, anything underneath and within "sys" only exports information about various kernel subsystems, hardware devices and can't be changed here. Most obviously I now seem to have entered a steep learning curve, uuuhh. How to modify/adjust these kernel parameters, is there some other "real" file that can be used to override default values at boot time?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxtester:
UPDATE:

Found the way of changing/overriding the standard kernel values of "max_brightness" (for respective color) via Recovery Script. So, if one has [NUT]'s Dual-Recovery installed (likely, if you're rooted :)), then you'll find a file /system/etc/install-recovery.sh which in turn is calling install-recovery-2.sh in the same directory. If it doesn't exist (like in my case), just create it and put the following lines:

echo %value% > sys/class/leds/led:rgb_red/max_brightness

echo %value% > sys/class/leds/led:rgb_green/max_brightness

echo %value% > sys/class/leds/led:rgb_blue/max_brightness

where %value% can be anything between 0 and 255. Re-boot and done.

Only problem left: values > 255 are strangely not getting accepted that way. Means, if you put e.g. 500, upon next boot it defaults back to max. 255. Hence, for now I'm able to lower the brightness of the Z3C very well but increasing it on the Z3 doesn't work yet.

Can anyone help me with that last step?

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] noby95:
Hello everyone,

I received my device yesterday. And I have some problems I would like to fix. Maybe anyone can help me?

It is for Nissan Qashqai J11 and the Version Info says:

Model-Nr: S07

MCU-Version MTCB-KLD2-V2.77

Android-Version: 4.4.4_20082015

Kernel-Version: 3.0.36+ root@chun #58

Build-Number: rk3188-eng4.4.4 20052015.17:14:44

Processor: ARM Cortex-A9 @ 1.6 GHZ (x4)

In the Settings Menu there's an option for Factory Settings, which needs a password. I read the password here, but my question is: When I enter the password will the device Factory reset or will there appear a menu with additional settings?

There is a settings menu to remap the steering wheel controls. But remapping the steering wheel controls doesn't work. Is this a known problem?

On the steering whell the controls for media next and media back are switched. Is there an easy way to fix it?

Is there a way to remap the hardware buttons on the device itself -> Like the Navi Button should not open Google Maps but should open nokia here.

As I am using the device mostly offline I will use noka here for navigation. Is there a way to make the volume of nokia here lounder than the volume of the music?

As the Kernel-Version says "root" in it. Am I already rooted?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Factory Settings code *#hct#root# for rooting

126 - factory settings menu
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
Might be worth you watching some youtube videos so can see what to expect. To answer some of your questions:

- Factory settings password just takes you to some new menus.

- under Navi options I had the option to direct my Navi button to whatever navigation software I wanted to use. If you don't have this take a look at some of the mods on the Software forum as you can use those to do the same thing.

- under navi options I had the option to adjust the mixing volume or make audio cut to give you navi directions

- SWC, same for me but if you can find the right canbus option then then that might let you map keys, otherwise look in the software mods area.

- to test root, download something like superuser Su and see what it says (can only use it if rooted).

To be honest, I think the best you can do is to have a play with the options, if you aren't changing ROM etc its unlikely you'll do anything that is not reversible.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] noby95:
Thank you!

Hmm... I don't seem to have a "Navi Options" Menu. Where do you enter that menu?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
Take a look at this but don't know if it will be the same for your unit.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] peti007:
2. If you have canbus SWC you cant remap it, just resistive SWC can.

3. In Factory Settings there is an option "swap canbus next prev" what you have to activate.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] optimiser:
The satnav audio mixing is in Settings>GPS Monitor.

Change it from Switched to Mixing

The volume is set at 10 on my unit.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Brendo:
1. It'll go into a menu (check wiki)

2. If you are using canbus, you cannot remap. only if using SW connection

3. Try changing rudder setting in factory settings; otherwise perhaps canbus is intercepting incorrect

4. Check some of the software mods. Some can turn down audio when navigation needs to sound, then return back to normal

[Android Apps and Games] rkrohan:
Hey guys,

I know that many of you guys have phones with killer hardware but your phones don't perform so well. Well now, a developer on play store has made an incredible app that can make your phone faster.

This is not at all like stupid apps like clean master that do nothing to speed up your phone. This app uses the gpu to make your phone run faster without any extra battery use.

I did not make this app. I am helping the developer get ore users and I am helping him because it really works very well for me. If you don't believe me, try it out yourself. It is free to download and use.

[Android Apps and Games] David 617:
I don't know...

From a tech perspective I'm curious to know how this works on a non-rooted deivce. The only thing I can think of is that the app is sending touch events to the phone and keeping the cpu and gpu in the higher clock states. If that is the case then if would drain the users's battery pretty quickly especially on older devices.

Other than that I cannot think of a way that this works. Coupled with the fact that the reviews seem pretty shady and this is the second post on xda that I've seem about this I'm gonna call bs on this one.

Unless you show proof otherwise, this is just another one of those 'Android Optimization' apps that ask for way to many permissions. Seriously, external storage access? Phone IMEI permission? Really?? Why does this app need those permissions?
[Android Apps and Games] ndg1988:
This is the second post I've seen of this app. It seems more like the placebo effect than anything else. Also, Google Play Store reviews seem to be fake or purchased.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hannaway1990:
Hello. I am pretty devestated this morning. Mid last week I bought a Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet. Spent quite a bit on it. Put it in a case, and had a screen protector on it. Though last night it had fallen from the side onto the floor about 3 foot and despite the protection it now has a crack on the screen. The LCD is fine. No problems with it. Though the touch is a bit messed up. It will only notice the touches at the bottom. It's now unusable.

I have been looking everywhere for a replacement digitizer but u can only seem to find a replacement glass with the lcd screen. Costing around £200. Where as I just need the glass.

The z1 tablet glass is around £30 and I believe it may be the same... can anyone confirm? Or will the z1 glass not work with my z2 tablwt. I think they're both the same size... 10.1 ?

Really stuck with what to do here... don't want to be paying £200 to get this fixed.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4shlr:
Did you ever have any luck doing this? I've managed to do the same thing and am now wondering if the z1 replacement will work. Thanks!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prokt:
You should have very specific equipment for the replacing digitizer on the LCD, better and easy way buy complete set for replacing.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jismail:
i did this on my z2. It was not as advertised....... the best approach is to by the full LCD and Glass assembly. To remove the old assembley you will need to heat the glass significantly to soften the adhesive. Even then, it will most likely shatter. Dont worry.... you dont need it. Chip, scrape, pull it all off the frame being careful not to damage any of the bezel or the underlying components. Then once all is off, take some goof off and remove all the old adhesive. Then put some new aadhesive or thin double sided tape in the frame track and then reset the new LCD assembley. Prior to that though, verify it works first as getting it back off may shatter the glass again.

Not to tough as long as you have the full assembley to reinstall......
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michelangelo_89:
Hello,

I wish I could explain my problem quickly and clearly, but I lost count on the amount of times I wiped, flashed and reset my Tablet so... I just hope someone comes up with a genius idea, because I'm desperate. I've tried everything.

Today I decided I wanted to try and find a better ROM I could install on my Ainol Tablet, and after doing some research I found out there was a 10.1 version of Cyanogenmod that was apparently quite popular.

I followed a tutorial I found on slatedroid.com (Flashed CM 10.1, Gapps and compatibility file) and only after I found out I just flashed a ROM built for the previous model of my tablet. When I reset it it came up as if it had done a Factory reset (same firmware but everything came up in chinese).

Then I went on and managed to find a tutorial for mine; repeated the process.

Right after doing that I re-read the tutorial (I would love to attach the link but I am a new user and am not allowed to...) and realised I was supposed to update my stock firmware to the latest version before flashing CM on it (apparently so they had the same kernel). Luckily, I had made a backup with TWRP so I went back to it and went looking on my PC for said firmware.

When I managed to find it, I realised the wifi on my tablet was gone. Whenever I switch it on, it goes back off after a few seconds. So no internet.

Then I thought I could just get that update file from my PC and copy it through USB. But that wasn't working either, my laptop will not recognise it whenever I plug it. The tablet won't even recognise a USB flashdrive.

Lastly, I realised there was a miniSD card port so I tried getting the file in through that as well. In this case, the tablet displayed a "preparing SD card" message but nothing happened afterwards...

I'm completely stuck. I have tried several times going back to Factory settings through TWRP, or reloading that backup I made, erasing Dalvik/Cache every single time, but the problems are still there. Everything else seems to be working though...

I did some research and it does look like I flashed a ROM with the wrong kernel so all the drivers are gone... (When the tablet is off and charging it displays a battery that used to stand vertically. Now it comes up horizontally...).

If that was the case, would anyone have any clue on anything I could do to fix it? Any files I could get rid of? Or maybe some secret menu on TWRP I haven't taken into account...?

Any ideas would be extremely appreciated. Please help! :'(

Thanks in advance.

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petermg:
So I rooted my Nexus Player running Marshmallow (6.0) using the instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344

My bootloader is unlocked, I flashed the boot.img from the first post in the above thread, (already flashed TWRP), then booted into recovery and flashed SuperSU 2.56 from the 2nd post. When I launch SuperSU it tells me that the SU binary needs to be updated, but it can't do it the "normal" way so I try to do it via the TWRP way, it says it's going to attempt to boot into recovery, but recovery never comes up, it looks like it's rebooting, and just hangs on a black screen. So I tried doing "adb reboot recovery" when SuperSU says it's going to try to reboot into recovery itself and do that before clicking ok, but I get the same results. If I go into recovery via the hardware button, no updating happens. It just loads recovery. If I load up the Nexus Player like normal boot, and connected to my PC do "adb reboot recovery" it loads the recovery fine without hanging on any black screen.

So I'm at a loss here on what to do. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petermg:
So I bought some apps on my FireTV Stick, for example, "The Game of Life" for like $4.99. Worked great on the FireTV Stick. I ended up getting a couple of Nexus Players and sold my FireTV Sticks. Now when I go to the Amazon App Store to download that title, for example, it does NOT show up. It does show up on other devices, for example my daughter's Fire Phone that I bought her, and I can transfer that from her phone to my Nexus Player, but the controls are NOT the same. It's not the one that was optimized for a remote control. I PAID FOR THE GAME, why can I NOT download it from Amazon's App store just because I'm not running a FireTV Stick!? Is there any way I can make Amazon think I'm trying to download from the FireTV Stick so I can get that app, and a few others I bought as well? This is NOT a request about WAREZ or PIRATING! I bought these apps, I should be able to download them :( Any help is greatly appreciated!!!! I know that there have been mods for the Google Play store for certain hidden apps to show up, so I'm wondering if there is something like that available for the Amazon App Store... a build prop edit or something? I'm extremely frustrated about this. Thanks again for any help!!!
