Hi Clint

There's no dedicated forum for your device here but maybe this thread can help [ROOT] Requesting root for Alcatel Pop 2 (5) Premium 7044Y / Vodafone Smart Prime 6

i have rooted my phone already but after some reserch i didnt found any custom roms for my device, i am wondering if anyone can help installing a clean or stock android 5.0.2 (without any custom user interface) on it.

Sorry what I meant was that you can use that thread to discuss all things vodafone smart prime. It's the only thread that I found relating to your device.

Hi all

I have an issue with my newly purchased aftv 4k

I moved from the AFTV1 where I could backup all my addons etc to a USB stick. On the new AFTV2, I can't seem to backup at all.

I've read this is because of the new permissions in lollipop but I also read that upgrading to jarvis is supposed to fix this. Can anyone help? Or tell me what I should be doing?

Thanks

I've also noticed this too, was fine on 5.0.4 & kodi 15.2

Yeah my one was fine on my aftv1. Don't suppose anyone has found any solutions to this?

I have found a workaround but it's very very clunky :(

Jarvis does?

I was just looking for information on if there was an update to Kodi that was able to request/verify write permissions to any directory on external storage and I didn't find anything. I see on here a couple people saying that Jarvis update allows you to write to external (SD/USB) storage, but I don't see any official writeup about this new functionality. Anyone have a source for that info?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuggyblake:
Still struggling with this. I Have 5.05 (lollipop) with Kodi 16.0 (official) on my non-rooted AFT1 (Firestarter). I tried http://xdaforums.com/fire...re-tv-t3220730 but had no success. I can however change permissions through ES file explorer and read/write. Is anyone else struggling with this ? I can of course map to a networked drive (USB to Airport extreme). Can not get much info from KODI forum. Any suggestions ?

Cheers

I have a Fire TV with a 128GB Micro SD card installed. I followed the link you mentioned, followed the instructions to the letter and it created a folder for me at that exact path on the Micro SD card. called "files." Inside this folder, I was able to create my own sub folder called what I wanted it to be called (created this folder directly from kodi) and then used the "Add Source" option in the file manager and in the videos section for quick access.

(Running Jarvis 16.0 )

Quick update: downloaded a tv show from Exodus, and it worked fine.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
Can you give me those instructions? The link is dead I would also like to try this.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuggyblake:
Did the same, but had no success. I am using an AFTv 1st gen, which does NOT have the micro SD card, but it should not make a difference. Let me go back and re-do. I am using adbfire Shell. Same instructions are here (from guy who wrote adbfire I believe)

http://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/help/write-to-sd-card-fire-tv-t3220730

Ill let you know if I get it working as I know Im not the only "idiot" LOL:laugh:

Update: I got it - Key is to setup the "sandbox" area as a source, which creates an identical drive to the USB drive, but with the path setup.

[General Questions and Answers] fast69mopar:
Hey Mike. I have flashed several excellent and reliable ROMS that can be used as daily drivers on my Nexus 6. AOSiP was a nice, solid stable ROM with plenty of features. Pure Nexus is a ROM that I use as well without any issues. Currently I am running N6XShamu with the Blackb1rd Kernek and they work very nice together. Super fast, buttery smooth and an excellent ROM experience overall. What ROMs have you tried and what issues were you having ? What recovery are you using and what version? Do you know what bootloader version currently have? Also, when ashing the different ROMs did you make sure to do a clean install by wiping everything except your internal storage? I can help you get this figured out so you can enjoy a custom ROM.

Hi,

Im on the newest version of blisspop, and I selected my SD to use as internal storage and it is now stuck at 20% for 10 minutes? so, I rebooted and checked in settings my storage menu and it says my card is corrupted when I know its not because I added a song from pc and listened to it.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Backup with TWRP BEFORE making any changes or rooting.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankvl:
but TWRP is a custom recovery right? So first I need to flash your TWRP port then make a backup and then flash kernel and root via Odin?

You don't need to flash a kernel just backup with twrp then flash supersu 2.65 with twrp.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankvl:
But if my device will be with 5.1.1 I will have to use your custom kernel for root to work, right? So if I understand you correctly I need to do all these things to get backup + root:

1. Flash TWRP with Odin from here: http://xdaforums.com/tab-s2/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-x-lollipop-5-1-1-t3205686

2. Backup with TWRP

3. DL latest stable SuperSu form here: https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip

[Micromax Canvas A1] AgentJT:
So, one day ago I was just going through my messages and suddenly my phone's launcher (CM13's launcher as I was on CM13) got an FC and the phone was stuck at it. So, I removed the battery and then booted into recovery just to clear the cache and dalvik. After that, I tried to boot my phone again but it got stuck at the boot logo and I tried flash the CM13 as well as stock rom but none of them worked and then I tried to change the recovery just to take a shot but now when I flash it through ADB it shows 'error: partition table not found'. Yes, I googled it for literally a day but still the problem remains the same. I can't boot into recovery. If I do, the screen hangs at the bootloader menu and restarts. I am only able to access Fastboot but "adb devices" in ADB doesn't show my device either. I guess I need to make partitions for my internal sdcard. So, I have got nothing but I can unlock and relock my bootloader. Nothing much. SP tool doesn't detect my device and the Android One Toolkit works but no change. PLEASE HELP as I have been without my daily device for more than a day now. :crying:

Google maps says there should be a "Settings -> System -> GPS"

but I only see External GPS.

Is my GPS not enabled?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
This has been discussed a ton already, use any other GPS application 1st, like TomTom or search for GPS Viewer, a simple GPS app. Configure the app for GPS at Com 4, 4800baud. Also be sure and enable the Quick GPS app that came with the TyTN and download the current data. Once you get a fix from any other application, Google Maps will work normally.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] trjons:
My apologies. First day with the Kaiser and just trying to get a handle on it. I did search but didn't seem to get that answer, a lot of other information.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lavachild:
if you purchase software like tomtom navigator 6 you dont even need to use a "jumpstart" app. It will just work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaggy:
yeah im not sure what the purpose of the quickgps program is. I use tomtom by itself and it always locks on in just a few seconds.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
Quick GPS performs a function callled Assisted GPS (A-GPS) and it is a way to save time to acquire a fix by predownloading satellite data into the phone so that the GPS doesn't have to download the same data from the sats while initializing. A "cold" gps startup can take several minutes, A-GPS brings it down to a few seconds.

This is seperate from the Google problem where it appears that Google doesn't wait long enough to get the initial fix and fails. After the Phone gets a fix using another program (not Quick GPS), then Google maps works normally. Mapping progs like TomTom and iGuidance just work right from install providing you set the com to 4 and Baud between 4800 and 38400.

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeebugorn:
Hi. Im in the Army and found out Im going to Afghanistan soon. I am looking for an android tablet/hybrid (not looking for a Surface) to hold me over until I we get things set up and I can have my wife ship my gaming laptop over (which is why i dont want a Surface, as I already have a windows device). what I need it to do: read comics, read ebooks, watch videos (by that I mean mostly 1080p 10bit x265 HEVC videos), play games, and skype. ok, the comics, ebooks, and skype dont need much hardware for that, but the videos and games need a good processor. So far I've read the wifi sucks...and other say that the wifi doesnt suck, that it has issues playing games and others say there isnt an issue playing games, etc. Can someone give me their opinion on if this would meet all my needs. Thanks for your help.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beardymcgee:
howdy, this would meet all your needs, wifi only has issues if you are at a distance from access point and seems to only affect in higher bandwidth internet connections. (hasnt had any effect on mine but im less then 30 meters from AP with adsl connection).

the screen ratio is really good for reading comic etc, wide screen movies have bars but most tablets do this, these days

performance wise this is still the strongest android tablet on the market, will run everything no problem

battery life is pretty good on this tablet too easy get 11 hours screen time over a 3-5 day period on a single charge.

ive said this before but i have owned every major android tablet release from nexus 7 onward and normally get disappointed and sell after a few months but the pixel c really has given me no regrets and would highly recommend it

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesrick80:
In my opinion, it's a device that's not ready for prime time. There are issues or have been issues with almost every facet of this tablet from build quality to touchscreen issues to display quality to keyboard support and still currently major wifi issues. One of the reasons I cannot recommend the device. For now, the best android tablet is the tab s2 9.7 inch, you get the 4:3 display, a super amoled screen which makes reading easier. A stable device with fast wifi speeds and one of the lightest tablets out there. For extended all day battery life, keep the display brightness on 40 to 50% and all battery life concerns are solved. You will get all day battery life with this setting. There is also microsd card support if you want added memory.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buurmas:
I think the no BS answer is that you are rolling the dice. If it works for you, it's an excellent device, although the keyboard is (still) a little glitchy. If it doesn't, you'll be in Afghanistan coping with a device giving you stupid problems. Have a good backup system.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buurmas:
Since I just applied another software update a few minutes ago (March 1 security patch), I will add that the reason I rolled the dice on the Pixel C was exactly that -- the promise of future software updates and the hope that the initial glitches that have been plaguing some people would eventually be fixed. I just read an Anandtech article saying that the Feb update fixed many of the touchscreen issues they were having, which is good news.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
on 5Ghz wifi, and no problems. Wifi range is predominately determined by the Wifi router, not the Wifi device...

I really like the Pixel C. However it's the wrong size/format for single handed traditional tablet use. But it sounds like you have already decided to get it with the keyboard, so thats not an issue.

The hardware build quality is amazing, I think you will be pleased with it. make sure to get the latest OTAs it makes a huge difference to the device.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobydu:
Bought in Dec with the keyboard or whenever it came out and ended up sending it back. It didn't seem ready for prime time. Laggy and stuttery screen pick up.

Excellent build quality for both the tab and the keyboard.

Just purchased with the discount and updated to the latest 6.01 and its great. Very responsive so far, with none of the initial issues. Never had wifi issues but am not far from the router, so likely why.

Didn't get the keyboard this time as overall the two together it was quite heavy, it had no backlit keys and disconnecting from the tab always made me feel like I was going to scratch the screen. Likely wouldn't of happened but didn't feel right. As well as I didn't think it was worth the £120.

I really, really like the Pixel C. I like it so much that I hope my 4th one works. The first one died after one day. The second one died after several months. The third one died after one hour.

I've been debating whether I should actually keep the next replacement when it arrives or sell it while it's still sealed in the box and get something else.

I don't mean to hate on the product or on Google. There must be a large majority of people who just get them and use them without any big issues.

If it doesn't die it's a terrific device. Despite my exasperating experience I'm still going to give it one more go because I don't know of a better tablet I'd get instead.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
Mine works fine, but I mostly use it to read comics, so my main concern was the screen - and for an LCD it is amazing. I'd love to upgrade to a tablet with AMOLED display in the future. One thing I have noticed though is that it is strangely sluggish - my Note 4 (having almost the same resolution and older SoC) seems much, much faster. I don't know, maybe WiFi is the reason? But it seems to be doing OK.

The keyboard is quite bad though, I end up using a Logitech bluetooth keyboard instead most of the times.
