[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evil Alex:
I believed you, just ordered one. I've been looking for a good media player and the shield appears to be the only one truly good enough. Competitors say they can play UHD at 60fps, but reviews state that there are noticeable stutters. So that left the shield. Granted, it's more expensive, but I also have compatible NVIDIA cards in my PC and laptop so streaming games makes it worth it for me!

Many thanks! :)
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evil Alex:
Just noticed the monitor in your photo, it does not appear to be UHD. But I could be wrong, there are UHD monitors of that size. To be honest, I don't know whether downscaling is harder than rendering at full resolution.

Nevertheless, I'm pretty hopeful it'll work out fine. If not, I'll report back before the end of next week. The shield should be delivered by next Thursday. Can't wait! :D
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
You are absolutely correct. It's a 1080p monitor. It's actually harder on the hardware to downscale as it's rendered at full resolution then it has to downscale after. It's known as supersampling. It's a better alternative to anti-aliasing. When the device plays a file, it plays at native res, then has to post process weather it's up or downscale, but playback is native. I can add post processing to see how far it'll stress if you'd like, but it's still so underutilized at 4k HEVC that it'll handle a lot more. There's native hardware decode for HEVC which is why it works as well as it does. I have played 24mb/s 1080p H.264 Hi10p files on here and it played near perfect. Sometimes it would go over 28mb/s and that's when it hit it's limit on h.264 hi10p, but that's with absolutely NO hardware decode as 10bit wasn't supported by hardware till HEVC (main10 vs hi10p).

Let me know how it goes for you. Glad to see there is someone else that plays some extreme media files other than myself.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evil Alex:
Cool, thanks. You don't need to stress test it on my account. I don't have any h.264 hi10p encodes, I believe. And if so, no problem. I'm aiming to encode my entire archive to HEVC anyway :)
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBungle67:
I have my Shield TV connected to a Samsung UHD TV (60HU8550). I downloaded yesterday 4 different versions of the Martian. 3 were 4k (3840*1600, 24fps) and one was 1080p (H264) for comparison purposes. Out of the 3 4k ones:

- one H264 around 48Gb

- one H264 around 25Gb

- one H265 around 5Gb

Kodi on the shield TV played all files beautifully. Smooth, no lag, fast loading times, even when jumping through the movie. There was a noticeable difference between the 1080p and the 4K versions, and I am really excited of 4k rips to finally enjoy 4k content on my TV!! And I am also amazed about the H265 compression ratio / quality! I used to download many 1080p H264 movies weighting around 10Gb, and to find 4k ones for only 5Gb is really amazing. I used to have an MX2 linux box dedicated for Kodi, and bought the shield knowing that the MX2 would not decode H265. The Shield TV has been a wonderful experience so far...I would recommended it to anyone.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evil Alex:
Thanks, I'm getting even more excited now. H265 can maintain the same quality at roughly a little over half the size. I'm a big fan, though encoding takes quite some time.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
I wasn't stressing it for you on the hi10p actually. That's my norm when it came to things before HEVC. I watch a lot of anime and colorbanding bugs the CRAP out of me, so I only do 10bit video, so I was thrilled for HEVC getting main10 and hardware decode. That being said, there is a massive drop in file size for the same quality, along with the hardware decode. One thing to watch out for though I found is sometimes HEVC performs worse (visually) depending on the content. I have the anime movie "Garden of Words) using what should be very similar encodes, one h.264 hi10p and one HEVC main10. The main10 doesn't have the same quality in some scenes and has more visual flaws. That's the only one that I have found an issue with, but the rain scenes just destroy HEVC for some reason. It's amazing to have, but I'm glad that h.264 hi10p plays amazingly for those rare occurrences. To quote the team that released that encode "There is a reason for not using HEVC encode: x265 performs very bad on scenes like rain-dropping or snowing, and this movie just have enough of those scenes." Yes, I do legally own the blu-ray of this media, their encode was just better than mine, but I digress.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evil Alex:
That is kind of odd, HEVC should be able to at least match AVC/H264, regardless of profile. However, as I encode myself, it is true that the open source HEVC encoder is still relatively new(x265). It's still under heavy development, but still a far cry from how optimised the open source AVC encoder is (x264). This translates to (far) longer encoding times, and fewer available options. Let me give you an example, I have a setting for AVC which I call 'Super Quality'. If I use it to encode a 1080p BluRay movie(90-120 minutes), that'll take around 8 hours. Since HEVC and AVC use similar command-line switches, I've also got a 'Super Quality' setting for HEVC that's virtually identical. If I use the HEVC 'Super Quality' setting to encode an episode of a given show(40-50 minutes), that takes around 24 hours! The system I use has an i7 which runs at 4Ghz, so it's not my system lacking power. So, for now, if you want the best control over your encode, as well as good speed, AVC is still the way to go.

I imagine rain scenes are hard because the HEVC encoding library can't handle them properly yet(or requires disproportionate amount of time), but that should change. It's probably a macro-block issue. If you watch a lot of anime(I don't, though I do have quite a bit of it) you'll love the more modern profiles HEVC has. It has profiles that support more than 10bits colours, for instance.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
Completely agree. Most have switched to HEVC, and I am also, just wanted to let you know that there are some limitations to HEVC, and from my research you are most likely right on the nail. The macro-block code is in need of looking at when it comes to rain and whatnot, but even if that's the only downside, it excels massively and has hardware support. I've encoded an a 4.7GHz 8 core intel, all 16 threads, and I know how insane the encode times are. Well worth the time for archival purposes though, just have to do test encodes when I'm unsure if it's the right tool for the right job. When it's not, dang does it require some massive performance to play back hi10p files. Eh, tradeoffs :p
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uradox:
The sample played back perfectly on the shield to my sony xbr55x850b (4k TV).

I went through several chinese 4k boxes and the fire TV 2 before eventually forking out the extra cash for the Shield TV. It was the only box that could play everything I threw at it.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evil Alex:
Hey guys, I'm checking in with my experience so far.

It's splendid! I've had the Shield for close to a week now, and it has been able to play everything so far. This challenges me to find its limits, and I'll report back should I have found them!

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elcama:
Hey guys, my LG G3 had been rebooting a lot but the big issue started on Sunday. After a reboot I couldn't turn it on. After several tries and several different batteries, I connected it to the charger and it turned on. I backed up some stuff and used it for some hours and then again it rebooted and wouldn't turn on. After several hours, it did turn on and it worked for around 48 hs. Then it rebooted and wouldn't turn on. But then something about the kernel showed up. The thing is I found a new KDZ so I tried to flash it with LG Flash Tool 2014. But no matter what it gets to a percentage (maximum 20%) and it turns off. And now when I try to turn it on it goes to Firmware update.

So it's stuck on Firmware update but it doesn't allow me to flash the new firmware. What can I do?

Thanks in advance!

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scruffykid:
Hey everyone.

So I've purchased a Moto 360 and it is due to arrive today, however I have just had a chilling thought: Does Huawei's EMUI version of Android (5.1.1's EMUI 3.1 specifically) in any way impair the use of an Android Wear device?

Do any of you have a AW device? Have you had any troubles with it in terms of functionality with the HAM7? It shouldn't make a difference, but for completeness' sake I have the TL10 Gold model...

Cheers! :good:

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scruffykid:

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackinfinity:
looking at amazon the huawei smart watch has only dropped like 50 dollars or so n amazon ?

because of this I will skip the 2nd gen smart watches, I will wait for 3rd gen released in q3/q4 this year hopefully one more by huawei and using the latest qualcom chip designed for smart watches. It will also give time

for android ware to mature.

I hope they can get bettery battery time and slimmer design with the 3rd gen
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scruffykid:
I guess what you're saying is very true, skipping the 2nd gen would be a wise choice, however they said that about the first gen devices in 2014 as well... I couldn't wait any longer, so I guess I'll just have to look into buying the latest around next year this time, that it would be good skipping the first gen. If this cycle continues you will end up never owning one! The only two I would consider is the Moto 360 (or its future equivalent) or the Huawei Watch. Nobody has really been able (in my opinion) to nail design apart from these two.

With regards to battery life, software improvements will obviously improve battery life, however how big of a battery can you really cram into such a small device? Sure, battery technology could improve, however this development has plateaued somewhat in the past years, with companies relying more on optimized software to squeeze out as many hours as possible.

I think we'll only see a drastic improvement of wearables' battery life is when a breakthrough in battery technology is achieved (come on arc reactor!!!! :p)

As far as my watch and compatibility goes, I have connected it to my HAM7 and everything seems to be working good for the time being. I only have a small issue with a blank Google Now card showing up every hour or so, however I'll post that issue in the Moto 360 forums...

Cheers!:good:
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scruffykid:
Thought I'd post an update on my experience thus far.

The watch is great and works as expected. I received two software updates over the course of the last four days and honestly cannot find anything wrong with it. The UI and scrolling is buttery smooth, the fitness tracking is fine for what I need from it and the battery life is fantastic after the last update. Of course it took a few days to get used to the device and not fiddle with it every few minutes, and at the moment it has been on my wrist since 08:15 this morning, and after 7 hours the battery is sitting at 69% after a day of moderate / heavy usage.

Honestly even after only a few days with the watch I can't imagine my day without it. It is super useful for reminders, sending quick WhatsApp messages when you're in a rush, and just feeding my desire for constant change. I purchased Pujie Black (which is fantastic) and thus have changed my watch face around since I got it, though I have now settled on my "daily driver" face, with a few more presets at the ready for other occasions.

Compatibility with the HAM7 is fine for the most part as I can only really find one thing that isn't working. Smart Lock (where the need for password / fingerprint input is bypassed if the watch is connected) is inexplicably not working. This must have something to do with EMUI its lockscreen / authentication methods. This isn't a major concern as the fingerprint reader is already so quick and convenient that the smart lock would probably be even slower to get the screen on (having to hit the power button AND swipe the screen, I mean how barbaric is that!?).

I am hoping to pick up a new phone this weekend as I have now given up on the hope that we will get better support and software from Huawei. Does anyone have any suggestions? Preferably I'm looking for something with a fingerprint scanner and a big, beautiful screen, which narrows things down a bit...

Maybe a Note 4/5... But that's a discussion for another thread.

I flashed Android N Preview as a secondary ROM using MultiROM, everything worked perfectly, no issues what so ever.

After a day when I was listening to music using Spotify the phone suddenly switched of abruptly with battery over 90%

Since then I couldn't able to switch on the phone again.

No bootloader, no Recovery, Its not booting at all. No response from the phone.

I think it is dead.

Changed the Battery to new one.

Not worked. No sign of anything.

When I plugged in the charger the LED light is on, but I don't think its charging phone is not warm while it is plugged in.

the back plastic sheet is held on with adhesive, I would apply heat first then work it open with a tool like isesamo or maybe a thin credit card or guitar pick. underneath there are 20 torx iirc can't remember size and another plastic shell with many holes in it. this cover, the wireless charging coil, and battery are adhered together i think and there are two small rubber covers for the power button (top) and battery (bottom). remember to disconnect your ribbon cables and treat them carefully.

the real problem imo lies in reassembly. i have repaired many and never feel they are the same as they came from the factory mostly because the back cover doesn’t re-adhere well. invest in some quality 3m adhesive, even a pre cut if you can manage.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geminihc:
I've tried a few services online and none of them can unlock (sim/network) my LG G4 H812 (Canada). Abit long story, but I bought this new from WIND a few months ago, but switched to another carrier (Mobilicity) recently and unlocked it fine. But soon, the G4 had issues so I received a warranty replacement with a different IMEI. During this warranty process, the service center asked who the original provider was, so I said "WIND". I assume that meant that the replacement was locked to WIND again.

OK, np I thought, I would just get the replacement and unlock it again. But for some reason no one is able to unlock it. Is it because this new phone has never been activated with any carrier..? How am i supposed to do it? I no longer have the WIND sim either.

Thanks,
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amartier:
I'm having this exact same issue. My LG G4 was bought brand new from Wind about a year ago, but was sent in for repair through Wind's warranty service. I had the bootlooping issue, so my phone received a new motherboard, and subsequently a new IMEI. For resale purposes, I tried to SIM unlock the phone through multiple third-party services with no luck. I then tried asking Wind for the code directly, which they didn't have (I assume this is because it is a brand new IMEI), so Wind told me they'd request a code directly from LG. I received the unlock code a few days later, but even that code doesn't work. I'm honestly stumped, and my phone's now down to only 2 SIM unlock attempts remaining. Did you ever end up having any success with your phone? Were you eventually able to get it unlocked?
