[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSentinel:
This topic is aimed at the Amazon Fire HD 6 (2014) running Fire OS 5.1.2 (rooted)

After rooting my Amazon Fire HD 6 I wanted to disable as much default Amazon stuff as I possibly could so sd_shadow pointed me to the below link:

http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/general/safe-to-remove-5-0-1-bloatware-2015-t3239582

Excellent except for 2 things

1. I think it primarily deals with a 7" 2015 Fire and I have a 6" 2014 Fire HD.

2. After disabling all those items listed in that topic I still have a few that "appear" to still be running.

Because of this I thought it might be a good idea to start a similar topic geared toward the 6" Fire HD from 2014 specifically.

So after using ADB and disabling OTA and renaming the OTA .apk file I ran the gatesjunior's Debloater tool and disabled all the items in the provided list from the link posted above.

After rebooting I run OS monitor and I see that the following things are still running:

Fire Launcher

Fire Keyboard

Amazon Photos

Fire Content Management Service

Amazon Video

Auto Tmezone Service

Amazon Device Settings

Appstore

Sync Provider Executor

Amazon Metrics Service Application Identity Mobile Platform

Content Sync Framework

Remote Device Management Application

SecuritySyncClient

Log Manager

Settings

Amazon Platform

Precog

Amazon Communications Services

HERE Positioning

Dolby Service

Amazon Metrics Service Application

And in the app management area Amazon Video and Amazon Appstore show up as currently running.

So my first concern is how do I stop Video and Appstore from running since "disabling" them via the debloater tool appears to not be working. My first guess would be using ADB somehow. Possibly by using a pm disable command maybe?

Just use this :

Has been working very well for me !
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSentinel:
Well I figured out what the problem but then I created a new problem. The problem was that they debloater program doesn't work for me on this version. It will display what is on and off but if you try to disable anything it looks like it is working but if you reboot it is back ot enabled. So that was the problem.

However, from that other thread there are manual instructions and I followed those. All I had to do was to use ADB and just disable them one by one by hand. Worked great. Rebooted and everything stayed fine. No problems. So I disabled everything in the original list fine, except that there were a few things in that list that did not exist on my version. I'm assuming that list was for the 7 or 2015 and not the 2014 or 6 so that made sense.

So I was doing great and as is typical I guess, I decided to push my lcuk and try ot disable a few more things. Rebooted and now it looks like I have brick. When I turn it on it starts on the Amazon screen and then goes ot the Fire screen but it just hangs on the fire screen and stops.

These are the extra services that I disabled:

com.amazon.alta.h2clientservice

com.amazon.kindle.cms

com.amazon.sync.service

com.amazon.readynowcore

com.amazon.kindle.rdmdeviceadmin

com.amazon.dp.contacts

com.android.contacts

com.android.providers.calendar

com.android.providers.contacts

Any of those look important?

Is there any way to recover from this? :(
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSentinel:
Wow, am I lucky or what! So here is how I "fixed" this. I was stuck on the fire logo just twinkling away and I tried rebooting a few times with no luck. Then I booted into recovery mode and tried clearing the cache. Seemed to have no effect either. Then I figured what do I have to lose so I tried every other option in the recovery menu except wipe data and factory reset.

After doing everything in every menu once or twice each I rebooted normally and it hung on the fire logo twinkling. So I left it sitting there and went and ate lunch. When I came back it was on the desktop! So now I can fix anything or replace anything if anything should be re-enabled. But of course I have no idea of or what should be enabled from the list of things I did.

I am kind of afraid to shut this thing off or reboot it because I don't know if it will reboot cleanly next time unless I re-enable something.

Any advice from anyone?

P.S.

By the way, it is running great right now and all the things that were running before that I wanted to stop are now stopped and not running any longer. But I have no idea what will happen if I reboot.

After disabling the above this is what I end up with when I use OS Monitor to see what is consistently running in the background :

System

System UI

Fire Launcher

Amazon Communications Services [com.amazon.tcomm]

HERE Positioning [com.here.odnp.service:remote]

Dynamic Updtion Service [com.amazon.dynamicupdationservice]

Notice from above list that both Dolby and Amazon Communications Services are still running even though I have disabled them and they show up in the list of disabled apps. Odd, but they still run.

Using a firewall I have a few services that consistently show up trying to communicate outward which I would love to disable but I have been unable to find out anything about them. Since I have no way of knowing how important they are I have decided at this point to leave them alone until someone can add some information on them. They are the following :

Auto Timezone Service [com.amazon.kindleautomatictimezone]

SecuritySyncClient [com.amazon.securitysyncclient]

This last one does not show up in running services but does show up in the firewall log as trying to get out:

Factory Data Reset Whitelist Manager [com.amazon.platform.fdrw]

These last ones show up running but don't appear to try to have outbound traffic, but I would like to try to learn more about possibly stopping them :

HERE Positioning [com.here.odnp.service:remote]

WiFi Locker [com.amazon.wifilocker]

Dynamic Updation Service [com.amazon.dynamicupdationservice]

This is as far as I can go. I lack the knowledge (or guts) to attempt any more without input from someone else about what these services do. For fear or bricking I am afraid to try to disable these remaining services.

Hi,

I was hoping for a little advice from someone who has the Vario III. I am on T-mobile in the Uk and I am currently thinking of getting shut of my N95 and getting one of these. I primarily want a smartphone that has good music playback facilites as well as a good web browsing phone. The N95 can play Mp3's through headphones but the quality is noticebally not as good as on my Ipod.

Is the Vario III a good music player , it seems to have a high spec in all other areas. Also do you use the built in MP3 player or is there a better third party app that can play them. What's the battery life like when just playing back music and what is currently the largest memory card it takes.

Thanks for any help!

Hello,

I brought the phone this February and its working fine. It is running on Kitkat-4.4.2. Then when I searched for software update it shows an update available: 1.54.709.12 (233 MB). But when I download it and try to install, it says "We have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its system software. For your protection, we cannot update your phone. Please revert your phone to the official HTC system software to update your phone. If you did not modify your system software or would like help reverting your system, please contact us via the support section at www . htc . com"

I saw the bootloader and its locked and cheked if its rooted using rootchecker and its not.

I would prefer not to root my mobile.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
That's usually means the MID is wrong for the software region that you have.

As yours is a S-Off device, I would say it is easy to fix it.

First thing .. we need to know what the MID is. Run this command - fastboot getvar mid

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manasdb:
Thank you very much for such quick reply.

I ran the command and it gave me

mid: 0P6B10000

I am from India and I want to get OTA updates in future.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Your MID is a EU MID

You can change it to India MID if you want to but it's a bit complicated for you I guess as it will involve change of MID, you may need to unlock bootloader & etc but it's not difficult.

Anyway .. for a start, make it totally EU version by flashing a Marshmallow EU RUU .. you don't need to unlock bootloader and you don't need to change MID. You will still can receive OTA if there is one but I think there will be no more OTA updates as M8 is already on its EOL (means no more HTC further support)

What you need to do :

option 2 : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66271711&postcount=4

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I'd recommend updating

all

the firmware (which in addition to hboot also includes radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, and a lot of other important modules) not just hboot. Being on hboot 3.16 means all your firmware is outdated, as in 2 years old. Updating to current firmware is best for compatibility with current ROMs.

You can either update by RUU (as discussed above) if available for your version. Or return to stock ROM and recovery, and update OTA (which will update the firmware). But we'd need to know more specifics about your device, to give more detailed direction. Do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpAsifMP:
I have the same problem with my htc m9. I cannot do these processes as I am not a professional and don't have a computer .I have a doubt ,If it is the problem with region ,Why can't we simply changes the region by turbo VPN and try to update the Android version
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You can't do that, since for HTC devices the region has little or nothing to do with spoofing where your phone is located (with VPN, etc.). The model ID (MID) and carrier ID (CID) are encoded into the phone. You typically can't change this on HTC devices, unless you have s-off. But further advice would be specific to the M9, and you should either search or post the M9 device forum. Following advice for a different device (this is for M8) is dangerous and can damage your phone!

AT&T tech and Bestbuy Samsung Rep. could not reflash the phone with the stock firmware. They said the system allowed the firmware to be downloaded and flashed, but still rebooted to the same error. It could be because of my Google Account problem, or AT&T phone version don't allow customer to reflash it.

I can see that although s7 sensor does pull ahead than s6's in almost all except one aspect !

Preferred the noise control of s6 which in my opinion is better than s7
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] EQ2000:
S7 does mostly better though they both perform quite bad in higher ISO despite a slow shutter speed. Noticably the S7 performs really bad with ISO 1250 and 1/4 shutter speed. In lit areas it does better but in low contrast areas it resorts to using to much 'high ISO faking' by tweaking curves creating ugly color and chroma banding. G4 does better at similar ISO/shutter speed. So does the Xperia Z1+ series to name some. They need to be more relaxed with the post-processing. Thanks for comparision.

Wondering what solutions people have used to get ATT updates while using other MVNO's (I'm on Crickett and still have not gotten the security update - wonder if it hasn't rolled out to me yet, or if I need to do something creative).

I have an old ATT Sim card, but it is not provisioned, so it didn't help.

Would buying a ATT GO phone sim work? Would that only work once, or could that one SIM card work perpetually (i.e. another update 6 months from now)? I have two Note 4's, could one sim work for both Note 4's?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
They won't flash just the update, but instead the latest entire firmware with updates mixed in.

In other words, when you get these OTA updates that aren't an entirely new OS (like going from Kitkat to Lollipop), they're just patching the update into your existing firmware, which also results in the firmware version changing. However, Best Buy will flash the complete firmware with the patches already included. They can't just give you the patch. Odin will do the same exact thing as Best Buy too.

Also, you'll need to wait about 2 weeks after an update before going to Best Buy. They told me that only some Best Buys in highly populated cities will get the update files immediately. It can take a week or two for your neighborhood Best Buy to receive the needed update files.

hi today arrived my new vario3 cause my first get damaged at the usb connector. so took out the stuff tomorrow morning. i noticed that my first vario 3 had a Samsung battery and the new one has a Dynapack battery. so i decided to call the t-mob service. they told me the dynapack should be an upgraded one. the first devices where shipped with samsung.

but im confused now:

my first device had SN HT738

the new one has SN HT737

can anybody confirm this Dynapack batterypack?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kirkdis:
the labels on the both packs are the same without the manufacturer. the one samsung the other dynapac. but the product numbers are different. the samsung has at the end 086 and the dynapac has 088. on the bottom of the dynapac accu is a aluminium plate. i think its because in the history much people said the battery goes warm or hot. so i think the dynapac is the newer version for our devices...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Deathace:
The metalwork on the bottom of the battery looks like a heatsink to me but it also looks like a ground plate for the battery itself so who knows.

If that is any use to you?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kirkdis:
its no use directly for me but for all other guys out there. which HT version do u have? in the german forum @ ppc-welt we saw that this dynapack is mostly shipped with HT versions lower than 738. the most devices with HT738 which are the highest versions right now have the samsung pack.
