[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkinetic:
Have had the tab for about 2 days, my n7 2013 usb port was starting to give so it was time, came with 5.1.1 out of the box, updated to MM, its been a great tab so far.

1. Hearthstone is stable, you won't lag with the k1 gpu running games.

2. The touchscreen is responsive as any out on the market as long as its off a charger or hooked up to a charger that has specs close to stock: Output: 5.2v @ 2.1A If you choose to use a charger that isnt close to spec then you will have touchscreen issues (I myself noticed it the first day)

3. OTG works out of the box on stock kernel.

4. No wireless charging as stated before.

5. Can't comment didnt purchase the stylus

6. You can use both a DS3 and 4, not sure if you can by default pair a DS4 without Six Axis (got rid of my PS4 a few months back) as for the DS3 you can use the DS3 over OTG and with the Six Axis app running. In MM six axis will not be able to access BT due the permission changes in MM (the dev of six axis must update). Ive been using the DS3 over otg while keeping Six Axis running (in settings make sure to enable Gamepad in Gamepad Settings section also u must change the master id of the ds3 with six axis pair tool to match the tab bt address) so far the controller has worked in Never Alone, Walking Dead, and Game of Thrones, personally I will be buying the Shield controller but if you dont need to charge the tab while gaming you can use a DS3 over otg, there are other options but none are as elegant as Nvidia's own product. Also buying a new DS4 if u dont already have one is essentially the same price as a Shield Controller.

7. Lastly with MM you can choose to adopt your MicroSD as internal storage, however doing so comes with some caveats. You lose the ability to use the MicroSD on other devices as MM formats the drive as a 128 bit encrypted ext4 disk, any data u already have on the MicroSD gets erased when you do this. Also once you do this the MicroSD essentially becomes nonremoveable as it becomes the default storage for your device. You also lose the ability to access your internal storage. You can in the settings move apps back and forth between the two, but access to the internal storage via USB connection or File Explorer is lost until you revert the MicroSD to portable storage, again doing this means you lose data on your microSD. The other option would be if you root to install App2SD and get a 64-200gb MicroSD and use the app to create a 2nd partition on the MicroSD and migrate and link your Apps and Games Data via App2SD. This option retains your internal SD access, you then have 1 partition to be able to move your apps/game data, and 1 partition that can be read by any device for movies/music/photos.

[HTC One S] jimbo1999:
Hello,

I recently dropped my HTC One S into a glass of water. It kept on working so I thought I'd got away with it, but then a few hours later it rebooted and now won't boot beyond the white "HTC" screen before rebooting again. I've tried drying it out but it's still doing it.

The phone had not been modded or rooted before, I just used the stock HTC OS which came with it. I can get to the bootloader screen and have tried various things to get it working but nothing seems to have worked. I've anyone can point me in the right direction (or tell me I've no chance) I'd be very grateful. I've done the following:

Tried the stock recovery, gave the same reboot loop.

Tried the "clear storage" and "factory reset" options, same reboot loop.

Connected with USB Fastboot - seems fine and I can see the device from my laptop

Unlocked the bootloader - I now have *** UNLOCKED *** at the top of the screen

Flashed a custom recovery (I've tried CWM and TWRP, various versions) - seemed fine and Fastboot suggested that the flash had worked, but when I try to load it I get the same reboot loop. The only difference is that I now have some red text on the HTC screen when starting recovery: "This build is for development purpose only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action."

I'm at a loss as to what to try or where to look now. I saw one post which suggested that the stock ROM may be detecting the invalid recovery and trying to overwrite it, and others that suggest using an RUU to get the phone back to original state, but I can't seem to see one which matches the info I get from "fastboot getvar all". My thinking is that if the recovery doesn't even work then something is wrong with the phone itself, but is there a way I can tell what the phone is doing or any logs I can see? As Fastboot doesn't have access to files in storage I can't tell if there's anything there.

The phone's info (from fastboot getvar all) is below, and if anyone can suggest anything I'd be very grateful.

Thanks,

James

[HTC One S] Wild Penguin:
From what you describe, it surely sounds like a HW fault. Reflashing will not fix it. You can always try (in the unlikely case that the flash memory was somehow rewritten), but as you already have tried it, it means your phone is most probably bricked. Sorry.

Some expert may want to confirm my conclusion.

As a last resort, I would take the phone apart, and leave it like that for a day or two, to make sure any remaining moisture has a change to evaporate - and then re-assemble. It is possible that some of it could be shorting an address line or something? More likely something is corroded beyond repair.

EDIT: It may be possible that the hboot was damaged / rewritten but the flash memory is still intact. That may be fixable, but quite difficult. It means purposedly "bricking" the device further and manually registering device nodes in Linux and directly writing into them.... I think I saw a guide somewhere. This will not be easy for the average user, and there only a slim chance it will actually work.
[HTC One S] jimbo1999:
Thanks. That's pretty much what I thought but thought I'd ask in case someone had any bright ideas. I've already ordered a new phone which should get here tomorrow, so I don't really want to spend hours trying to get it working when it's probably bricked anyway.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychomaniac82:
Hey Guys,

I've been searching the web for the following. I like the breathing notification / Active display option from the Nexus 6p. When I receive a message, the black and white screen comes on, displays the notification, I read the message and most of the time when i want to react (when the phone is flat on the table) i'm too late to activate the display, the message is gone already. The time the message is displayed is about 3 to 4 seconds. I wish this could be changed to 6 to 8 seconds so I have more time to read and then touch the screen to go to Whatsapp / Mail / etc.

It's not a big problem, but it's a nice feature that irritates most of the time because of the short timeout.

There is no setting to change the timeout in settings but there must be a file (such as build.prop, couldn't find it there) where you can change this timeout. Does anyone know if this is possible and how? I am still unrooted, but this would be the reason to root / custom rom :)

Thanks!

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irshanuddin:
I have an unlocked US variant S6 SM-G920T with Baseband (G920TUEU3COK1).

I have been using it on Tmobile without issues since Cyber Monday.

But now, randomly, when I get a phone call from a contact that is already in the phone, I see the number on the display rather than the contact name. After I either answer or reject or allow to go to voicemail, and then go look at the call log, the contact name is displayed. This is getting annoying as I keep ignoring calls that I would like to take ( and sometimes need to take).

Only thing I've tried is to clear data and clear cache in the contacts app.

Phone is not rooted. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theodric58:
Couple of questions:

1) Is it all contacts, or just some?

2) What type of contacts are they? Phone contacts, Gmail contacts or some other account?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irshanuddin:
All my contacts are stored in Google. So they were synced when I setup the phone. The issue seems to be random, but more often than not. I tried clearing the data in the phone app as well. No luck.

Thanks.

Update: I have just seen that this issue is for all incoming calls when the phone is in a LOCKED state.

When the call comes through while I am using the phone the contract shows fine with the name.

But still no solution in sight.

All I did was do a reset to factory settings on my tablet, it rebooted and it's now in a TWRP bootloop?

I see the TWRP logo come on and then the screen goes black and then the TWRP logo comes on again?

Please help! I have no idea what to do???

I searched all over Google but couldn't find anything that worked?

If you are running CyanogenMod 12.1 and TWRP recovery, then

do a FACTORY RESET.

You will break your tablet.

HOW TO FIX:

The only way I was able to fix this was to use Odin and put the stock firmware back onto the tablet.

I've been using Z3 for more than a year now.

But 3 days ago I dropped it and broke the screen, I am thinking of buying a new one or getting LG G4.

And also I would like to hear suggestion on what to get Z3 or G4 :)

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brontok:

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2010matej:
Of course we will get Marshmallow (some sites are writting we will get in march, but i think this is to long, because Sony says we will get it in december haha) . Maybe Sony is waiting for 6.0.1 version, so it will take some time.

Oh, i broke my screen too, it is repaired now, but they need to fix microphone because it has stopped working (maybe because of waterproof glue).

Anyway if you like LG, buy it. But if you are Sony fan as i'm, repair the screen ;)
[MX Player] kent1146:
Does anyone know how MX Player can "Scan" or access a mounted USB OTG drive?

It looks like the drive is mounted in /mnt/media_rw/, but MX Player can't access that directory.

Yes, I know there is a workaround by browsing to the individual videos and hitting play one-at-a-time. But I'd really like to be able to see the list of videos natively within MX Player, so that I can jump to the next video without having to go back into a file manager.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
In which device..?

Needs proper mount point information.

Open the OTG drive in any file manager & check the property.

In most of the devices media_rw is uaed to raw storage access & will no be available for third party apps. The same partition is remounted as sdcardfs file system under /storage to manage write access to external storage.
[MX Player] kent1146:
This is a Moto X Pure, running Android 6.0.

The USB OTG drive is mounted as what looks like a URL. USB://CORSAIR/

The drive does not have a true representation in /storage, except for whatever symbolic link that might have been placed there by a 3rd party app like StickMount (which I've tried). The true mount point of the USB OTG storage device looks like it's in /mnt/media_rw/XXX-YYYY/.

The issue is that MX Player seems to require scanning of a true directory structure, and can't use a symbolic link as a target for media scanning.
[MX Player] auipga:
Same issue here running Android 6.0.1 (Resurrection Remix v5.6.0) on Asus ZenPhone 2 ZE551ML.

When going to Settings -> List -> Scan Folders -> Add, the starting location is internal storage (/storage/emulated/0). Navigating up seems to freeze the folder content list below, again one folder upwards (/storage) it lists xxxx-xxxx folders for external SDcard and OTG storage. Navigating into the OTG directory freezes the list again (as it could not read its contents while showing the contents of the previous folder). Tapping 'Add' adds the folder, but back on the main view, it does not actually scan the newly added folder.
[MX Player] bleu8888:
From Android 6, OTG drive is officially supported by Android but in completely different way.

In fact, OTG drive is not mounted in file system but can only be access via Android's unique Storage Access Framework(SAF).

Unfortunately, listing files on SAF is not yet supported, but will be supported in the future.
[MX Player] kent1146:
OK. Thank you very much for the response

[MX Player] kingnappa:
Just for information, I have a Nvidia Shield Tablet K1 with Marshmallow. If i try to open a file from the stock android file manager it works fine, except for the external subtitles that are not loaded (I have to load them once the video is started from a internal folder and not from the OTG video folder), If I open a video file with ES File Explorer (right now the only file manager that can load USB otg on 6.0) it loads also the subtitles but when I try to reload it after a break or when I exit the program I have a black screen and the video doesn't start (it seems that ES file create a fake network address that goes to //usb:/....).

I hope you'll fix this soon! Keep up the great work!

OTG drive support via Android SAF

[MENTION=3850543]bleu8888[/MENTION], first off, awesome app! This is a really robust media player, and is super helpful to have!

I'm just curious if OTG drive support via Android SAF is still on your roadmap? Or has it been implemented in a recent version and I just haven't figured out how to use it?

Thanks!
[MX Player] gaferreira13:
MY guess is that the pen's filesystem is FAT32 which doesn't support linux permissions so MX Player tries to check if it has permissions and it can't so it freezes.

Which could be fixed if you tried to format the pendrive as ext4 or something like that.

Good luck ;)

You could also try a bind or remount command from the pen to a certain folder. But there are so many filesystems on android so i can't help on that part either.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
In Fact SAF is required to rename/delete file on Lollipop and above. MX uses SAF implementation to rename/delete files & to write subs.

Even if it's implemented for OTG in future, What's the real challenge is is everytime you have to Grant access.

The Current OTG support purely depends on the mount point used in your ROM. For Example in most of the Samsung devices USB OTG is mounted under /Storage/<some ID>. In this case just refreshing the media list will bring the files in list.

What I am thinking is USB host implementation. The best part is that, It can support even NTFS partitions even if it's not supported by the device natively. I have already discussed about this with [MENTION=3850543]bleu8888[/MENTION]. But, it won't be a part of 1.9.0. He may implement in future after finishing 1.9.0 to everyone.
[MX Player] DA6030:
Cool -- super helpful!

In my case it's mounted only at /mnt/media_rw/<some ID>, and media_rw doesn't show up in /mnt/ within the MX Player directory browser. Although passing URIs to MX Player from the native Android file browser (from within Settings->Storage) works fine, so maybe I can mess with the permissions to find a workaround.
[MX Player] gaferreira13:
It's in the same path for me...

I'd buy MX player if it supported using USB host natively... I have the pen on NTFS which seems to work fine through the Paragon NTFS mounter app.
[MX Player] DA6030:
Definitely would buy as well.

I know Titanium Backup is a terrible comparison, because TB has root permissions, but just taking a look at their directory-selection implementation (that lets you choose your method), including DocumentProvider, I think is a very slick catch-all that will cover everyone. In my case I used DocumentProvider just to identify the right storage device, and then all further file management happens within the app.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Infact /mnt/media_rw/<some ID> is used for rw access to the storage. But, it's not accessible to the third party apps.

If you changed it's permissions it may be scanned by MX. By default it's excluded since it causes duplicate entries in some devices with improper implementation. In MX Player 1.8.9, Goto Settings > List > Folders. Select /mnt/media_rw & unhide it. Then back to the list screen and tap on refresh button or pull down the list to refresh.
[MX Player] gaferreira13:
Please someone confirm this so that i don't format my pen for nothing :p
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It doesn't harm anything. You are just forcing MX Player to scan it. If you have root access & fixed the permissions, it will scan without any issues. Else, MX Player will not scan the mountpoints under media_rw.
[MX Player] gaferreira13:
Oh sorry, I wanted to say "Please someone confirm this works", I'm not really 'afraid'.
[MX Player] DA6030:
Did you have any luck? For me, even rwxrwxrwx permissions won't let the media_rw folder show up in MX Player's folder-picker, although (root-priveleged) file managers see it. Although maybe setting the permissions didn't actually work, as they reset on reboot. :-/

USB-OTG

wrong forum, sorry
[MX Player] Franz.Xaver:
I really love this player and recently updated from Android 4 to Android 7 - now I cannot access my files on USB anymore.

Is there any update on this issue?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
MX Player can scan/list the files on OTG only when it's mounted on a scannable mount point (Like many Samsung Devices do).

But, Many other devices are mounting OTG drive at a secure location by default. So, all apps need to go through the android Storage Access Framework to access files. Direct file system scanning is not possible in this case. That's why it's not getting listed.

We have already aware of this restriction. We will try to find a better way to handle these restrictions in future.
