This indicates you've got some out of date adb drivers installed. Make sure nothing else that uses adb is running (emulator, sync software?) Try taskkill adb in task manager. If that doesn't work you'll need to track down the old drivers and uninstall.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistermick:
I like how the thing that it said to me 8 or 9 times was the one thing I didn't pay attention to. I'm pretty sure I already had adb installed from when I rooted my TF101. That's probably the issue. I'll give it a shot when I get home.

*Edit: I uninstalled all of the HTC crap I had, whatever old version of minimal adb and fastboot was running, and reinstalled the platform-tools from the sdk, and the supertool finally was able to complete successfully. Now I have a $35 android tablet that is actually usable!

I have seen many posts stating that you can revert back to KK from LP. I have tried many times using Odin and it says "Passed" but gets stuck at the Verizon logo. I have always had to go back to LP. Any suggestions? Next question would be If I was Verizon and switched to StraightTalk, can I go to any other forums other than Note 3 Verizon for help? All sincere suggestions greatly appreciated.

PS... I hate LP.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
You can ONLY go back to 4.4.4 and you can not root.

You generally need to factory reset after reverting. But it can be done.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Your problem is that you're trying to use an I9505 custom ROM on an I9515. You can't, as the screens of the two devices are slightly different. Internally, the kernel is configured to use the I9505 touchscreen driver and expects a device that can use that driver and nothing else. As a result, your I9515 touchscreen isn't communicating with the kernel, and thus touch doesn't work at all. This same issue is why touch in Philz doesn't work. You should be using TWRP anyway.

Solution: find an I9515-compatible recovery and ROM and use them, because you cannot use I9505 ROMs in an I9515.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Digitalkarma:
Hello

Ive had my Note 5 for 10 days now, coming from an HTC One M7 of 2 years 8 months and felt it was finally time for an upgrade. Ive been a long supporter of HTC products since the EVO 4G days but lately have felt differently about the company so it was time to move on and finally make a change

One of the companies i looked to naturally was HTC's main competitor Samsung. In the past i have said negative things about Samsung. Ive always thought their products were overhyped, overpriced, gimmicky and sometimes unoriginal and that they were lucky to be successful because of their marketing budget. Never liked the bloatiness, not customizable friendly and bland UI of Touchwiz. However i cannot knock Samsung for their displays, has always been the best in its class.

The only product i thought about buying from Samsung at one time was the Galaxy S3, but Touchwiz was the main reason i stayed away. Ive always taken an interest to the Note series but wasnt ready to handle a screen of that size. the phablet idea was ahead of its time though. While i have been critical of Samsung and said their marketing is the reason they are the #1, i will be fair and say they have been more forward thinking in their ideas lately

I actually was more interested in getting a Nexus 6P than a Note 5. However the Note 5 was more convenient and affordable for me without having to switch carriers so the next best thing after the 6P is the Note 5. Also considered getting a S6Edge/Edge+ but thats where the gimmicky and overpriced mantra comes into play.

The camera was the main draw for me, followed by the S-pen functionality. I will miss the front stereo speakers of my M7 though and some of the friendly customizations of Sense. Still trying to get used to Touchwiz but i like it or hate it the Note 5 will be my phone for the next 2 years hopefully i will mostly like it. Its about time i give Samsung a shot so i can fairly criticize it!

Right now i mostly love it but the battery life is a bit of a letdown, hoping Marshmallow update fixes this! The screen, camera, multitask window and s-pen is all what i expected and makes it a nice upgrade over the m7
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] SketchyStunts:
I had a Nexus 5, i broke the screen. Was replaced with this device for $100 insurance deductible (not bad). Phone rocks but i'm living in touchwiz hell.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Digitalkarma:
Nope not bad at all.

I hate how the app drawer is on the right but can't find a way to move it to the middle of the dock. Is there any way to rearrange it without having to find a replacement UI and therefore drain my battery more? Lol.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] MikeEx:
I've been sitting a year out of contract because the SD810 disaster and a garbage generation of phones.

Sprints LTE band2 has always been garbage in Phoenix AZ, so I was getting fed up with 3Mbit at best with full signal).

I was very close to getting a cheaper older phone at T-Mobile until this deal happened.

It was $50 at best buy, and their insurance is great. Also the $100 Samsung pay gift code to get a gear vr for free. The holiday gift pack is just a surprise bonus I'm also trying to take advantage of.

The deal was too good to pass up and I stuck with Sprint, I'm happy I did because the two extra LTE bands that I didn't have with my Optimus G make a world of difference. I will miss rooting though.

I had that phone for two years plus it was already 2 years old by that time i think. Love the note 5. I hate the predictive text, mainly because i type fast and it doesn't always hey the word right and i have to stop and delete and retype...sometimes often.

I have a Sony Xperia Z1 and I have had cyanogenmod12.1 on my device for a little while now, but there are a couple of bugs and I wanted to go back to cyanogenmod11, so I downloaded the cm11 zip file onto my device and copyed it to the sd card,I then downloaded TWRP manager because the cyanogenmod recvoary does not have a zip file or flash part in the recovary, so I followed the procedures and then I flashed TWRP recovary. Once I got into the TWRP recovary I found the zip file for cm11 I then clicked flash. Not long later it said succesfull and then i had to reboot, i clicked reboot and this is where it whet wrong. My device then went into a bootloop because I left my device for 10mins. I then tried to access the custom recovary but it just came up with the sony logo and no custom recovary has come up since.

If you made a backup, flash dual recovery then restore the backup?

Otherwise flash stock and start again
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DectonX:
The only solution is to flash your firmware and start from zero point

Since you said there is bootloop and no recovery

Or you can flash twrp img file through fastboot mode

But for safety flash is best
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aquaboy11:
You do not need to do a fresh flash. Doing so without deselected some things might wipe data like photos.

1. If you don't already have the fastboot and ADB drivers, get them here

2. Download a kernel with recovery and extract the boot.img

3. Open up command prompt in the folder the boot.img is in

4. Make sure your device is turned off completely

5. Hold volume down while attaching it to your computer

6a. If you just want to have temporary acces to recovery type in this code:

fastboot boot boot.img

6b. If you want to keep acces and use the recovery after rebooting type in this code:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

7. Enter recovery the way you would normally do, backup your important files and/or flash the new rom and kernel you would like to use

Hi,

im thinking to buy a Note 4. I assume it will come with KitKat. Should i upgrade to 5.1?

I didnt on my S5, because it was such a terrible update. How are things on the Note?

I read reports about a bad gps after the update. My s5 has already quite a bad gps, i definitely want an upgrade from that.

Is the N4 GPS and Compass good with google maps e.g.

thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrippingSphere:
5.1.1 is very good, best rom build at the moment at least on my Note 4. GPS is excellent for all gps apps I've tested except for Sygic which takes a long time to get a gps fix, probably a fault of Sygic.

Only one disadvantage of 5.1.1 is you can't go back to a lower build like Kitkat once you updated to the latest Lollipop.

ES File Explorer. If you have a shared folder on a PC, go to it through Cloud/LAN, long-press the first file or folder, then short press all of the others, go to the bottom of the screen and select Copy, then go to the folder you want to put them in and go to the bottom of the screen and select Paste.

Before you can get to the Kodi folders you will need to enable the See Hidden Folders option in ES, it's somewhere towards the bottom of the left bar.

There is a few other ways..

Just use the the KODI back up program ..

Back up your setup to a shared directory on your home network computer..

Go into backup program on KODI on the firestick and set backup directory to your shared drive on the computer where the backup is.. I am assuming you have the firestick on the same WiFi as the computer is on.. As if you have shared the directory on the computer it should be broadcasting the computer out into your home network..

Then it's just a matter of restore all settings and bam...

Good way if you decide to setup other KODI setups within a home network..

We have it in all bedrooms on different Boxs.. So yes.. A quick way is a good way.. As I get to okay then update the other systems as needed..

Also..there is another good program which is a Chinese one.. That sets up a file explorer with pretty good capabilities..

It's called .. Wukung remote..

Find.it in the play store.. It will setup the server side to the firetv stick.. and then takes out so much mucking around out of setups for these things..

Hi all,

I've been looking at a solar powered charger for my Jasjam, and the one that seems to catch my eye the most is this one called the "Scotty":

http://www.solartechnology.co.uk/acatalog/Scotty_Charger.html

I know that the limitation in USB Car Chargers about having to solder pins 4 and 5 to get it to charge will probably also affect this solar charger as well, but has anyone had any direct experience with either this one or another brand?

Can you get enough juice out of it to charge a Tytn / Jasjam?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] galaxys:
Don't know about that one. But here's a recommended Solio one for mobile devices with press releases:

http://www.solio.com/v2/
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Dinty:
thanks for that link, it looks pretty good as well, if not better given that it has a greater total solar panel area. The first one I found can swap the internal batteries for standard AA's for instant power if required which is what makes me lean towards that... hmm... decisions, decisions. I hate making choices like that! haha :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Dinty:
Well, just another FYI for everyone here... I ended up getting the Solio Solar charger (http://www.solio.com/v2/).

Many thanks to Galaxys for the suggestion. It charges to almost full after a full day of sunlight and stores 1 and a half full charges for my Jasjam. It's great for weekends away and is small and compact for that extra peace of mind of having a portable charge. Unfortunately, word has gotten around that I now have it and occasionally some friends of mine who forget to charge their phones ask to use it. :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] chaos42:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Dinty:
g'day!

It's a well made and solid little device, but by no means is it indestructible... I store it in a ziplock plastic bag just in case it gets wet. If it's raining, then I won't pull it out to use because there won't be enough sunlight anyway (but I guess you could cover it in something if you really wanted to).

Also, in regards to the pin soldering, I haven't had to do that. So far it has worked perfectly each time without it.

It does have one interesting feature which is good and bad at the same time. Once it detects that the phone is fully charged, it stops sending power to the device. I assume it does this to conserve the power in it's own battery (but I guess this stops you from using it as an "extended battery" for the phone.

So far I've used it to charge my Jasjam, Bluetooth GPS and a couple of other Motorola phones and it has worked each time.

If you've got any more questions, let me know. Hope this is useful. :)

Maplin battery box hacked..

Maplin sell a battery box with solar panel in the lid.

I buy these, take out the panel which is on grp board & well made, wire a diode & charger plug & socket, & glue velcro loop all over the back.

They are cheap, give an open circuit output of 7.5 volts, and can flow up to 250 mA in bright sunshine.

They don't damage my phones or pdas, which in any case seem to have conditioning circuits in them.

Can buy at £15 usual price or £8 when on offer.

I am able to parallel any number of these together for more current, or in series to a cigar lighter smpsu to give a regulated 5 volts.

The panels can get wet, no problem, & the phone being charged stays dry inside a sandwich box.

I discovered that for Wizard/Hermes a current maximum of 1 amp has to be observed up to 80% charge, then reduce to 1/4 amp to top it. For other pdas the current max is lower.

Hope this helps.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] lusjash:
The post is quite old, but nevertheless i will post a reply just in case someone bumps into it and thinks - Wow! a wind charger, let me search the web and get one for myself.

Well, in the latter case stay away from Uniross brand windchargers(I own one)

I have written a review in Amazon. Here it is:

Well, i was very excited to buy this gadget (costed me 30 EUR in Paris ). I bike a lot and this was also meant to be used for outdoor hiking activities.

But..

First of all the lack of any type of power meter renders the device unreliable to the point of uselessness. You take the charger (with a 1200 mAh battery inside) and you have no idea how much of the battery is filled. You can put it to charge from mains, and maybe be shure that it is charged in some 3-4 hours (not mentioned in manual). But then, if i needed an external battery, there are definitely better choices.

Second: You cannot charge your device and charge the device simultaneously, nor you can charge your device "on the go"-directly from wind..

Third: You cannot turn on the quite weak led lights in front of the device and charge it simultaneously (so, for example if you bike in the evenings when it is late, you have to chose, either you use it's light for safety, or you charge the device.)

Forth: in the description on Uniross site it is said "Can also be charged through a computer or through wall plug". Well, it can be only charged using supplied wall plug, no wire for computer charging..

Fifth: It almost has no effect on my HTC HD2 (1230 mAh). The charging current for my device is quite hight ~ 1 A. So make sure your device will agree on some 500 mA of charging current (most of them will probably)

Sixth: It does need quite strong wind to charge, it starts to charge when your speed (in no wind condition) gets around 15 km/h. People say it needs some 15 km of ride to be fully charged. How they managed to estimate that the charger is fully charged - i have no idea.

Seventh: The charging indicator (which tells you that the speed is enough for charging), is placed right in front of the charger, so to see if it does charge you have to dangerously lean forward or ask the aproaching bikers if they see a green LED light- truly stupid design flaw.

Eighth (the most annoying and stupid): YOU HAVE TO CHARGE IT FROM MAINS FOR SOME 20% BEFORE YOU CAN START CHARGING IT FROM WIND!! Can you imagine how dumb this condition is.. first - there is no way to know how long should i charge it from mains to get the necessary 20%. Then, when i am outdoor and lets say charging the phone - if i use all the juice - the charger will become useless, as there won't be a possibility for another startup charging. Then I have to charge till it is decreased to 20% and use the wind to charge it back. HA! there is now way to know that it is on 20%,10% or 30%... how dumb the design and functioning can be... This is truly a raw device they let out on market. Shame for Uniross.

(i will stop here because it is too late...)

I wish i would have read a review like this before i went and got this piece of ... something... Hope it helps someone else.
