[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrandMasterPlank:
I've recently transferred over from an S5 Duos and I'm liking the Honor 7 experience including EMUI after lag-tastic Samsung.

All is good so far except that within the messaging app I can't see which of my two SIM's has received a message and/or also which SIM I've responded with. My S5 clearly had a '1' or a '2' next each SMS message so you knew which SIM was used but I can't find this anywhere on the Honor 7 and it's very frustrating as I need to keep work and home messages separate - am I missing a setting which can turn this feature on?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Shining Monkey:
So after turning on this tablet the first time i saw that was branded.

So i decided to simply install with odin an official firmware. But,because i'm so dumb,i've checked Nand Erase All.

After many flashes with Odin something happened. And now i can't get into recovery or getting to bootanimation (only download mode)

While flashing with odin,now,the tablet turns off and turns on automatically at about 10% of the operation.

What the hell should i do now? Use it as a paperweight?

•expandable storage! ( the ability to use a micro sd card)

Now for sofrware:

•No bloatware whatsoever, or at least the ability to chose what gets installed

•better stock camera software

•better stock music player

This is what I want to see on the galaxy s8 if and when it comes out.

Please note I know all of this can be done through root but I want it to be done on stock android that comes on the phone.

Like what ya see? Share it with Samsung maybe we can finally see the peoples phone :P

Got any other ideas you want to see reply and tell me what you think.

Don't agree with me? Tell me why not below.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
I'm not sure what my error was, but I modified my platform.xml file in system/etc/permissions and now my aftv won't connect to my network. I also can't read anything in file manager except root (sdcard0 and sdcard1 appear blank but the fire tv shows they have files that are taking up space under "manage applications")

I've checked the section of platform.xml that was edited several times and everything appears ok to me.) Unless someone sends me a blank platform.xml file so I can check the whole file to make sure mine's matches exactly, I'm not sure what else to do...

So I'm looking to maybe factory reset but I'm not sure if that will even touch system files. If it leaves the system untouched I'll be in deeper trouble because it'll wipe ES File explorer, hence making it impossible to edit the platform.xml. I also can't connect over adb wired or wireless. Really appreciate some advice. Thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
This is the section of platform.xml I modified (pulled this one from AFTV Gen 1)

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

</permission>

Please take a look at your AFTV GEN 2 platform.xml and tell me how it differs or just paste that section here. I might be able to correct this.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
I hate to appear desperate but Ive been racking my brain (and my eyes) trying to spot something wrong with my platform.xml and i cant find it. Ive compared the text to forum posts, my aftv gen 1 and my phone. It appears fine. Yet still no network connectivity and no files are visible on the sdcard. Heres 2 pics of the file. One shows the code the other displays permissions. Please, if you have any ideas, tell me whats going on... Thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
Was you trying to modify the Sd write permissions yourself? Did you make a platform.xml.bak file? & have you tried using the downloaded modded platform.xml the guy had in his post? Hope you get outta this & get back to normal again? Only thing I can say is maybe when the recovery is released by rbox maybe you can start fresh with a new recovery/patched rom. You may have to play the waiting game till then mate.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
Thanks but theres little chance of that given that i cant read my sdcard and earlier attempts at connecting via adb didnt show my device. Thing is this was an impulse buy (on sale at bestbuy). Already have 2 rooted gen 1s. I was strongly considering returning it but pretty sure a factory reset will just wipe data, and not undo changes i made to the system.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mat_london:
I've done this too

I did the same on my Fire TV 2 - changed my platform.xml and it connects to the network but drops every time after a few seconds.

I did back up platform.xml but ran a factory reset and now can't get in to put back the platform.xml file !

I definitely wouldn't factory reset based on my experience

I'm now stuck at:

No network = no ADB over network

Seems to be no other way to get to the settings menu or back to ES Explorer

Have loaded Android SDK USB device driver but can't get ADB to see the Fire TV

Fire TV is not bricked as it boots all the way to the startup procedure but may as well be bricked as it can no longer get a network connection (ethernet or wifi)

I've seen an article relating to recovery by using a USB keyboard but that doesn't appear to relevant.

Anyone got any other ways to get ADB to work other than over the network ??

:(
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
So if you can hold out until recovery is ready, recovery will allow you to install prerooted 5.0.4 thus restoring all the files in /system to the way they should be. I currently have no estimates, but I'm hoping for sometime before February. Or you can try getting ADB over USB working.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mat_london:
This would be great - have also started a thread to see if anyone has successfully accessed their TV2 via USB
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
Definetly follow rbox's advice and wait. If you really did the same thing as me then you might be wasting time getting the platform.xml back to etc/permissions. I successfully moved my backup there by connecting remotely with es file explorer (i can see my sdcard remotely) , sending it to my pc, put it on usb drive then mouting the usb drive with an adb command provided by rbox. BUT it did the same thing after accomplishing this-no network, no sdcard. So your best bet is to remain patient and wait.

Btw-adb should be working for you. If its not try rebooting aftv, maybe router too and of course make sure adb is enabled in settings. Good luck.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BagiMT:
If you can connect to ADB over USB you should be able to follow the instructions in the original FTV 2 root thread and flash the stock or rooted system image using the dd methods, only takes a few minutes. I had to do that after messing with some system files. http://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/general/root-amazon-fire-tv-gen-2-4k-t3245407/post64216823#post64216823

Make sure you use the correct system image for the version you are on (5.0.3 or 5.0.4)!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mat_london:
Now Fixed

I've now fixed this with Rbox's recovery and pre rooted 5.04 - the recovery setup got me into the Fire TV 2 - once in I could install the pre rooted 5.04 and get back to the original platform.xml file without having networking first.
[Huawei Watch] konstantinos86:
When i use custom watchfaces that use digital clock when the watch goes on ambient mode the seconds counter freezes for some seconds then catches up repeatedly. If i tap the watch and come back at normal mode everything works normally. Is this normal? Is there a way to fix that?
[Huawei Watch] Laucien:
I *think* that in ambient mode the screen refreshes only once a minute or something like that to save battery power.
[Huawei Watch] Scott:
I think it would be a mixture of how the watch face is programmed and how Ambient mode works.

If other watches act normal then one would have to believe the other watch faces are bugged or are running as expected. You could Email the watch face developer and ask him how it should act.

I dont personally use Ambient mode so I cant say.

I have FULL ACCESS TO THE WHOLE SYSTEM. ( Its a dual os tab (triple os becoz i live boot linux for chmod))

And that means read/write access to everything on the system itself.

I need to remove this permission if possible.

Busybox runs without any problems.

Well it shows all the info on busybox(before it shows permission denied instead), but if i try mount it says mount : operation not permitted.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossvxm:
I came across this charger while trying to search for one for mine and wondered if it ACTUALLY works for the Note 10.1 as it claims. I spoke to a Best Buy rep yesterday who assured me it would. Pretty much any charger works, but what I would like to know is if I will get the dreaded red X while on. Again, the rep said no, and I can always buy it, test it and return it for a refund but I don't like making pointless returns.

Has anyone tried it?

[Amazon Fire Phone] ratbags:
I've been using the fire as a secondary phone with a payg sim. My other phone is now broke so I've got a contract sim in the fire. It's constantly saying no sim or searching. It'll pop up as if it has a signal and display lte or 3g for a while but quickly revert to no signal. I've restarted, reinserted many times. Don't really want to factory reset. Can't remember if previous sim had same error as I didn't use it enough back then. Don't suppose Amazon have stocks to replace if it turns out to be hardware issue. Anybody else had similar issues?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Plonko:
I've found the sim slot is very unforgiving to cut sim cards. I had a micro sim that I trimmed to nano. While it worked fine in other phones, it gave me nothing but grief in my fire phone. I eventually gave in and bought a proper nano sim and haven't had any trouble since.
[Amazon Fire Phone] 3y3k3y:
Try a sim from a friend to be sure it is the phone and not the sim card.

Always power the phone down before installing a new sim, because it needs to setup the provider settings.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ratbags:
The sim is nano not cut down. Yeah, I'll try another sim before getting onto Amazon.

reserved for pics

Pictures of features:

1- PagePool

You can use the button to change the page pool that will take effect after a soft reset. if you just want to check the value you simply cancel the procedure and nothing will be written to ROM

2 - Check DOC chip version (G3 or G4??)

Select the "Device Info" button and wait for program to finish. Once finished check SPL version and the info about the Gx generation of your device.

3 - Check CID lock status

Use the "CID Actions" button and then the "Read CID block" from the drop down list (selected by default)

Once finished you'll be presented with the CID value (referring to the service provider code) and the corresponding status (unlocked in this case)

Enjoy...

Great tool you got there man. Congrats !

Please read this post...can your tool read the build number wrong ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
Yes, it sure is possible because my tool grabs some some .dsm files from the \Windows folder and reads the build values present inside. I guess that not all the .dsm files have the build updated or are used from older builds. It's done this way because some kitchen builder (can't recall who) directed me that way.

Now if anyone knows a 'safer' way or a specific .dsm file that has the most recent build value i'll update my tool.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback m8s :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Tulaine:
Am I missing something?

I'm planning to load WM6 on my Wizard (T-Mobile MDA Vario II) but wary of bricking it, so when I came across references to WST I was very pleased. I'm hoping it will let me take a backup of the existing ROM that I can reload if my attempts at a WM6 install fail.

I downloaded WST and read the readme.txt file. I ran the installer, checked my Wizard is connected via USB and ActiveSync is happy. All is good so I fire up WST.

It looks great - very neat and no confusing stuff in the UI. Well done!

I note the bit about needing to enable RAPI stuff before anything else, so that's what I do. The tool seems to connect and run the cabs and then completes without reporting any problems, but then if I try any other option I get a message telling me a device was detected but one (or both) of RAPI

Communications and Applications Policy isn't enabled.

Do I need to do something else before I can use this tool?

Can I enable RAPI maually outside of the tool before I begin?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
That is strange. Have you tried closing WST and then open it again? That's the problem of most cooked ROMs nowadays that are already RAPI enabled and it's possible to let something pass by when writing that procedure.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Tulaine:
I tried that. My current ROM is not cooked. It's the one shipped by T-Mobile (I'm scared of breaking anything so I want to take a backup of this ROM before I try swapping it out for WM6).

Since then I've also done a soft reset on the Wizard and a reboot on my PC (Win XP Pro) but I get the same problem :(

There doesn't seem to be anything in the options or setup within the device to enable RAPI or unsigned apps. Do I need a registry editor too?

Just in case it's significant:

ROM version is 2.21.2.6 WWE

ROM date is 3/9/06

Radio version is 02.19.11

Protocol version is 4.1.13.09

ExtROM version is 2.21.2.109

Thanks for supporting WST - this is great!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Tulaine:
Sorted!

I copied the .cab files from the WST folder (created when I installed WST) on to my Wizard and ran them from the Wizard UI.

Now WST can talk to my device! Yayy! :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Tulaine:
Yes I am missing something.

When I read the original messages I misunderstood the purpose of WST. I got the idea that I'd be able to copy my current ROM as a backup before I started fiddling (loading WM6).

Having got WST to talk to my device I now find I was mistaken. There doesn't seem to be the option of capturing the whole ROM for use as a backup, so I'm no nearer (except I do have a neat way to interrogate my device now - that's cool!)

So, what do other people do about safeguarding their original setup - or at least making sure they will be able to reload an official ROM if necessary - before trying new ROMs?

Am I just being over-cautious? Does everyone just jump in without thinking about a safety net?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
You can backup your ROM but you must do it in several steps (or one step but will several files)

Later you can pack the files inside an RUU and flash back to phone or use WST to flash them back (OS & Ext_Rom at least)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mick.j:
Installed and running. :) Using the Start|Programs|Wizard Service Tool!Wizard Service Tool shortcut, found that I needed to modify the working folder, that is, remove "files" from the path. Running XP Home SP2. Installed to defaults.

Like the ability to save the Device Info to the clipboard. Useful as is providing a filename template including the date when saving ROM Zones

A few questions about using WST to upgrade a Wizard, getting close to doing so on a G3 with the current ROM versions 1.-- that is now CID unlocked. :)

From what I am reading here WST will write ROM Zones as and when but should care be taken such as upgrading the IPL/SPL zones at the same time between soft resets?

I also note previous comments that the version relationship between the IPL/SPL and the OS should be maintained but looking at some of the cooked ROMs these sometimes look to mix the version 2 and 3 IPL/SPL zones with the different OS versions including whether it has WM5 or WM6. Indeed, have read that some feel that there is limited value in going above the version 2.-- IPL/SPL zones. Is there a rule of thumb here that can be checked, versions of particular files in the OS against the version of IPL/SPL or is it only version 1.-- IPL/SPL that can cause dependency problems with later OS ROMs?

Thanks for every ones contributions here.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
There was a similar complaint in version 0.2 but i don't see how that "files" ended up there. It installs perfectly on my system. Please paste here the full path you got.

The big difference lies between 1.xx and 2.xx. Everything else should be safe. WM5 or WM6 can be run with IPL/SPL 2.xx or 3.xx and also with any 2.xx radio

But since your device is CID unlocked you should consider upgrading your Wizard via RUU

The last version before this one worked perfectly.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mick.j:
Checked the WST folder in Program Files and it had the following folder tree.

Wizard Service Tool\

Wizard Service Tool\Files\

Wizard Service Tool\Files\Temp\

Wizard Service Tool\Files\ Files\

Wizard Service Tool\Files\ Files\Temp\

Un-installed and deleted the respective folders in Program Files. Reinstalled and the "start in" path is "C:\Program Files\Wizard Service Tool" and opened OK whereas in the previous install it had been "C:\Program Files\Wizard Service Tool\files"

Looks like some residue from the previous version may have affected the path.

I was looking to bypass installing a full ROM to update Radio, IPL and SPL and then installing an OS of choice but your advice is well taken and thanks for clarifying the version issues that I had.

That is not very helpful. Now i know there's a bug in it but not what it is or how to try and fix...
