[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jisoo:
So there's 2 locations for non-free files in the new Nexus devices.

1. /vendor partition, which you would typically update with the vendor.img images direct from Google

2. non-free files in the /system partition, very similar to what you had in the older Nexus devices (and what are used in all non-Nexus CM-devices, for instance)

You can get these files from a few repos on github, like TheMuppets or PureNexus. If you prefer to extract the files themselves from a factory image, it's still useful to check what should be included by looking at the makefiles in these repos.

You'll also need to add the non-free files to your device tree somehow. The easy way (by pulling the whole non-free repo and including the makefiles from there) would mean including the following line in your device tree makefile (using bullhead as an example):

+$(call inherit-product-if-exists, vendor/lge/bullhead/device-vendor.mk)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranchu-panchu:
Hello,

Does anyonw understand how we should extract the driver files from this link:

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers

I see 2 links for each devices:

1. "google's vendor"

2. list of devices (camera, gps...)

Do we need to run the *.sh file for both ? Does the *.sh file will download all the required driver files ?

What are actually these driver files ? Is it the HAL .so files ?

Thank you,

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divisionbell77:
I tried googling this but could not find anything. Does anyone know the power needed to keep the Turbo 2 from having the battery drained when running with the screen on full time?

With my Turbo 1 I was using an older Blackberry wall plug in my Jeep's power outlet and that was good enough to keep the phone at the same battery level while running Waze(as in, no battery drain, but also not charging).

With the Turbo 2 it is slowly draining using the same wall power supply.

I was wondering if anyone knew the minimum power I would need to keep the screen up 100% of the time, like when running Waze? It can be any form of power supply since I have a plug in outlet in the Jeep, as well as cigarette outlets and USB.

I could easily use the charger that came with it, but it pulls 25w which is a little much and can cause car battery issues over the long run, which I am trying to prevent.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeljko1234:
I use charger for cigarette outlet with 1 A output. If screen is off, charges phone. If is on, keeps on the same level or charges slowly. Real amperage depends of the usage, screen brightness, etc. Of course, you can always use ammeter and measure exact current in the specific condition.

You can Buy the motorola turbo charger for car. I bought the moto X Force here in Best Buy México, and it came for free. Maybe it can solve your problem.

Hi

it's possible to download data from Z1 if device is blocked (user password, not pin).?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascus:
I can think of two ways...

Adb interface on PC using adb pull whilst in recovery or booted into system, if you previously enabled adb debugging before.

Backup data partition in recovery like TWRP, then wipe everything and restore it, I guess it might work.

Other than that, you can probably google or search around for more options.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vallo61:
So I've installed TWRP recovery before unlocking the bootloader and now I can't unlock the bootloader and also I can't enter recovery mode.

I have been 2 hours trying to unlock the bootloader without success.

Current status:

un-rooted phone. Tried using the asus official bootloader unlocker app both rooted and unrooted without success. Also tried the ADB method.

I think I have the TWRP recovery installed - not sure. fastboot status says bootloader version is "unknown". Twrp manager says custom recovery not installed or not detected.

Unlocking bootloader via ADB always send "FAILED remote: permission denied".

Also I can't enter recovery mode. In fastboot i choose "RECOVERY" in red and it just restarts the phone to fastboot mode.

Asus version 2.20.40.160_20151225

Thank you very much!!

edit: Managed to unlock bootloader with one click unlock v2! will proceed to install twrp
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimchee:
Have you tried flashing stock recovery through bootloader, you can't flash regular twrp before unlocking bootloader, if you can successfully flash the recovery then you can adb sideload the full Rom and that should fix any problems, you could also flash through bootloader, after you have a clean flash, root the phone and use wondrous to unlock bootloader and flash twrp, should fix any problems you are having

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gatogringo:
I find--like with my Tytn--the maximum volume output a bit too low to my liking. I need to use GS Player or TCPMP and up the preamp to get to the volume that I like, but then the output gets "cranky".

It doesn't matter whether I use the HTC wired headphones or A2DP with an itech clip and Shure earphones.

Does anybody feel the same, and is there any solution to increase the volume?

Please help guys it's really important !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenjyTec:
I exactly had the same situation. Here's the solution:

The screen connector fits, so the screen will work. BUT: The connector for option and back softkeys doesn't fit, so they won't work. Unluckily you can't separate them from the display unit. Homebutton works.

As a workaround, I enabled onscreen buttons via build.prop editor.

[General Questions and Answers] rirw:
Hello Experts,

I am new to Huawei and just bought a Huawei P8 which has software version GRA-L09V100R001C469B111. Googling makes me think it is an old version of software due to the last 4 digits of the build (B111), but I have not found a clear way to upgrade the telephone.

The Updater utility does not find any available upgrade. So, I would like to know if I can upgrade it to the latest version and how. Should I do it in steps, meaning loading different versions of software until I reach the last one? Or I could directly install the last one? Any way, where could I find those versions?

Thanks,

I have good news. I have found a fix. It's not a problem specifically with 7 Ways. A full Dalvik cache cleaning and reboot seems to solve the problem. I am doing further research to confirm it and will post the results here. Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JVitor:
Update: problem unsolved. :( A full root (and Dalvik) cleaning only gives the app an extra survival time of about 40 minutes. The same problem with GPS Test Plus: http://www74.zippyshare.com/v/Hp0rfzzz/file.html Sygic, Navitel and iGO work normally though. Tested two different ROM versions of the same developer, full root cleaning and booster (VM heap size and CPU governor values).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JVitor:
I don't think it's a problem with the GPS because other navigators such as iGO, Navitel and Sygic work normally. The antenna is actually very good/sensitive and the GPS chipset makes a quite quick fix. It seems to be a poorly designed or somewhat flawed firmware for the device.

Just "found out" that the fingerprints scanner will not work on any cases because your hand need to touch the metal parts on the sides of the phone in oder to make it work (if u dont want ro cut a hole on the side of the case).

Run a piece of aluminum foil inside your case, so that your finger touches it when you cover the button. This is the only "fix" I've seen for this issue.

where I ended up with a bootloop and the red LED blinking 4 times. Thought I have messed it up. Then I managed to get in fastboot again (http://www.android.gs/enter-fastboot-mode-on-sony-xperia-z5/) with holding volume down for a while and booted back to TWRP: fastboot boot recovery.img

Then I flashed the files mentioned in this thread (Kernel) and did a factory reset afterwards. It worked and the phone booted again.

[Sony Xperia ZR] manilenio:
Okay, so I made the jump and updated my ZR C5503 to 5.1.1 from 4.3, and for the most part, I'm happy. I didn't have to wipe my phone's data, and my apps work well so far. However, when I tried to delete stock apps, I found out that I lost the root explorer function of ES file explorer, and when I turn it on after granting superuser access, it would turn back off after 3 to 4 seconds with an error message that it cannot run on the device.

Specifics:

1. On 4.3, I downloaded and installed NUT's dual recovery 2.8.23. Although it worked, NDR Utils gave the error "Unable to read XZDR.prop". No problem, I didn't bother with it.

2. I then downloaded experifirm and downloaded the customized PH version of 10.7.A.0.222.

3. I downloaded the supersu zip file as well.

4. I ran PRF Creator and created a pre-rooted zip file using the 3 files (FTF, supersu, dual recovery).

5. I crossed my fingers and turned off my phone and booted into TWRP recovery.

6. I deleted cache and dalvik (delvik?) cache.

7. Installed the lollipop pre-rooted zip file.

8. Voila, no errors, flawless 5.1.1 installation... Or so I thought. NDR Utils still shows the same error.

I searched around and somebody said the Sony RIC killer will do the trick. I tried running it but repeatedly got an error about the daemon not loading, although it shows the phone is rooted. No joy there.

I just want to delete the bloatware:

- News from Socialife

- Email

- Xperia Lounge

[Networking] pantera1989:
I hope I am posting in the right section.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9505) and it was crashing on the stock ROM so I flashed the Imperium LL Rom v11.0. The problem I am having is my phone reporting no network signal or "Out of service". But not always. After a reboot I usually have network signal. After locking and unlocking the phone I never have. The signal usually comes within a few minutes. When my phone is reporting "Out of service" I cannot make calls but I can still receive calls. And after the received call has terminated I can still not make calls. After a few minutes the network signal icon comes and I can make calls. Until I lock my phone because it gets lost everytime.

Some info:

1. I was on a rooted Stock 4.2.2 before I flashed the Imperium LL Rom.

2. The IMEI seems to have changed. I never took note of it before flashing, so it might have always been different but the IMEI reported by the phone is different from the IMEI on the sticker underneath the phone battery. I tried the Xposed IMEI changer but the problem still happens so this may be unrelated.

3. While searching I found it could be an invalid Modem driver. In the settings the Baseband version is I9505XXUBMEA so I tried flashing the driver for that version using ODIN. No change.

4. I tried via Recovery to flash Slim80 Kernel Cleaning Script v1.9 and then the Imperium Kernel v3.3 but no change.

I did a factory wipe before flashing the firmware.

Any help or suggestions please?

Thanks!
[Networking] pantera1989:
I have actually solved this. What I had tried before was flashing the modem with the same Baseband I had previously ie: I9505XXUBMEA thinking that there were specific versions which needed specific drivers. Upon reading more I found out that newer versions of the modem should be installed and that XX was a carrier code and the last 2 letters are how recent the driver is. So I tried the latest modem (XXUHOE2) I could find similar to the Imperium Build which is XXUHOJ2 and it seems to be working. My phone retains the network signal when put to sleep.

The fact the IMEI changed is weird and I don't know if it makes a difference. Maybe it was always like this..but it is strange that it is different to the one on the sticker. The format is correct because only the last 4 digits differ.

Anyway I hope this info helps someone with similar problems.
