[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSkorpio5:
Since 5.1.4 Update...

Our one just updated to 5.1.4 - it wasn't rooted, but I had put Google Play onto it from the PC, but because of the update, it now doesn't connect to Play Store. I was trying to root it today, but it fails every time when trying to reboot from the flashed img file. Apparently on 5.1.4 they've blocked any attempt to reboot from an img file (i.e. Amazon are now blocking the ability to root their 5th Gen devices whereas before they hadn't bothered, or turned a blind eye or whatever). So now we're stuck. My kid wants Google Play games (because Amazon Underground sucks).

I was wondering if resetting to factory settings and blocking updates would work, perhaps?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -sandro-:
Hello,

I have always had problems with this phone since i got it in 2013 where I always got awful battery life on 3G (not for Wi-Fi or LTE) where the battery drops pretty quick and when I use it continuously the top part gets so hot it's impossible to touch (75°C). Since I tried every possible rom/bl/csc/modem/sim/network I'm starting to think this was never an issues with me but with the hardware. I wanna say goodbye to this nightmare buying a new phone and it would be pretty cool to finally get an answer.

Is there anyone with similar results?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
I only got such temperatures while playing games like GTA San Andreas.

It does get warm while downloading stuff over Wi-Fi or mobile data, but no 75 °C.

If anyone is interested in testing for me. What I do to get that heat is just switch to 3G and then use chrome for a few minutes. It will soon peak to 75-78°C and become unbearable to touch under the Samsung logo, along with pretty fast battery drain. One you switch back to WiFi or LTE the heat goes down and it will just stay hot but nothing worrying. The position seems to point where the modem is. I tried to clean contacts inside and fix with a heatgun but nothing worked. The strange things is that it happens only with 3G AND it drains the battery also and it doesn't affect where the GSM antenna is. This is really weird.

I realized this issue only a few months ago when my provider covered my area uniformly with 4G and seen that it would not heat as much as I was used to.

Hi guys,

I have a navigation unit running Windows ce 6.0 , the main application that the unit uses runs on startup.

My question: the application uses .skin files to render the application pages and menus so I really need to edit these .skin files (change the color or background etc) any suggestions?

Thanks.

Seems your device is made on a NOWADA board, hence the presence of .skin files. AFAIK it exists a tool named SkinHunter that allows to modify such .skin files.

Suggest to re-title this thread to something similar as "How to Modify a Nowada skin file (.skin)" because it really has nothing to do with Windows (Embedded) CE 6.0 itself as you suspected. Windows CE - your device's GPS functionality part - doesn't make use of any .skin-files, so for example to change its background you simply persistently load an image of your choice. :D

FYI: I've not the time to occupy with this. Have other things to do.

[Nexus Player General] ElfinJNoty:
I'll attach a screenshot... but I noticed OpenGapps.org is providing a download link for a new Gapps package that would be compatible with our Nexus Player. Until I noticed, there was not an option available for download for the x86_64 hardware.

Options available for x86_64 for Android 6

[emoji106]
[Nexus Player General] npjohnson:
Nexus Player is x86 Intel. Not x86_64.
[Nexus Player General] ElfinJNoty:
It is capable of running.... oh I dunno, RemixOS or something... is x86 Intel, but is a 64bit capable chip

Whole point is.... what wasn't there as far as a compatible MM Gapps package, now is
[Nexus Player General] SkOrPn:
It wont work though, or it shouldn't work as far as I know. It doesn't matter if the chip is a 64bit chip. The ROM and kernel drivers for the Nexus Player is 32bit only. x86_64 Gapps will not run on a 32bit operating system, you need 32bit gapps ONLY. Now if the ROM and kernel were the 64bit version (and I'm not sure if there is one), then maybe both 32bit and 64bit Gapps would work. But one thing is for sure, you can't run 64bit apps on a 32bit operating system, it just doesn't work like that.
[Nexus Player General] npjohnson:
The chip is a Intel Atom Z356, which does contain the 64 bit instruction set, yes.

How they have it configured however, makes it hard to boot a 64 bit kernel/userspace combo.

The reason is that the bootloader runs in 32 bit mode, passing 32 bit ACPI tables, and more to the kernel. Even the hardware chips (the WiFi, etc.) distributed firmware is 32 bit (which, although x86 PROGRAMS run on 64 bit machine, firmware is not the same way, device firmware intended for 32 bit machines often won't work). This is, in my opinion, why they build targeting x86.

Flashing an x86_64 GApps package would fail on the CPU check (as firmware presents it as x86 only), and the apps would fail to run, as they are targeted at 64 bit devices.

You could try to create a 64 bit build for the NP though (I have, but never got to far into the project). If you did though, there aren't many added abilities on 64 bit machines.

You can't just build targeting x86_64 either. The bootloader presents x86 only (view-able in UART logs), meaning it would not boot a 64 bit kernel, meaning we can't run a 64 bit userspace.

The current x86 package works fine on AOSP builds. For Leanback, you'd need to download opengapps source and build targeting tvstock-x86.

Agreed. And, its not like we can just target x86_64 either in AOSP builds.
[Nexus Player General] SkOrPn:
You know all this talk about 32bit and 64bit makes me wonder why they even bothered using 32bit in the first place? Sure, there's no performance increase using 64bit OS, and sure there's not enough memory to justify using 64bit. However, a full 64bit OS would have been ideal simply because then all apps, 32bit and 64bit would have worked. It makes no sense to me to use a 32bit OS on 64bit hardware.

UNLESS something on the hardware side just didn't have a 64bit driver/source available at the time of engineering, which I highly doubt was the reason in 2014. IMO they should have used a 64bit OS simply because they used a processor capable of running 64bit code. Sounds to me like they had already started building Android TV on 32bit hardware BEFORE the Atom SoC was sourced and were simply just too lazy to start over using 64bit code.
[Nexus Player General] npjohnson:
Haha. I actually explained above the reply to yours that out wifi driver is 32 bit only, and doesn't like 64 bit kernel setups. It is specifically commented in logs, and, all of our other blobs are x86 only.
[Nexus Player General] SkOrPn:
Ahhaaaa, then that is surely why. Without a Ethernet port the wifi performance is utmost paramount. However, that is very difficult to believe considering it is certified AC hardware engineered in a day and age when 64bit rules the hardware markets. I haven't seen a 3rd party AC WIFI adapter yet, usb or pcie that does not work great on a 64bit OS, so that excuse is very surprising to me, lol.

I like the NP, but it needs the internal wifi disabled and a "great" aftermarket "powered" USB HUB, WIFI AC adapter and a USB-Ethernet adapter nearby just to make it a better device. I'd be willing to test such a setup if a full 64bit ROM was built for it, lol.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] _LEM_:
Nice review.

It would be nice to see a similar review of the devices while you are moving.

At this moment, Tilt's GPS is completely useless for geocaching and walking because there is not way of disabling static navigation as you can do with SirfStarIII's gps. Even if you got information from 8 satellites there are moments where you position will freeze and it won't update even if you are walking.

Tilt's GPS only really works when you are driving.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] 3waygeek:
I did a similar test back when I got my Kaiser about 6 weeks ago, running it and my BT-338. Results were pretty much the same.

However, more recently, it's been harder for my Kaiser to get an initial fix indoors, even with fresh QuickGPS data. When the Kaiser was new, it would get a fix within 30 seconds running in my living room -- now it can take up to 30 minutes if it gets a fix at all. Outdoors, it still gets quick fixes -- 10 to 30 seconds.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tonychen:
Have a Eten M700 and Kaiser and have some comparison. For GPS reception, I would rate M700 with full mark 10 and kaiser 7. The GPS signal is unbelievably strong on M700 as it gets a patch antenna inside.

I modify my kaiser a little so that the screen can be tilt up to almost 90 degree, I can just leave it on the dashboard when using tomtom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pepeto2001:
I've used kaiser's GPS for cycling and it has worked fine with "compegps" application!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] _LEM_:
For that it should be fine. Usually you got this problem is your speed is below 1.2 m/s (3.2 miles per hour)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] a042349:
Modify Kaiser?

Tonychen,

How did you modify the Kaiser to tilt almost 90 degrees? This would be awesome as the 'tilt" is not enough for me to use it on the dashboard of either of my cars.

Can you provide any pics of the mod you did and explain how you did it?

Thanks.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GuestK0050:
I would just like to comment that I have not experienced this lockup of the GPS while moving at slow speeds. I've played around with TomTom while walking down a city street and it seemed to track speed and direction just fine, not that it was particularly useful in this manner. It consistently tracked my speed at 1-2mph and has never had this locking up or pausing that I've read about in other threads. I've tested with the original AT&T rom and one of the Big Storage AT&T modified roms with no issues.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mab981:
Compared with a Garmin Vista Cx, it seems more sensitive - it can lock onto three or four birds in the centre of the ground floor of my house while the Garmin is hard pressed to get a full lock even on the top floor.

Looking at the pattern of locks on a GPS monitor program, I get the impression that it is a lot less than 12 channel - anyone seen a specification? My overall impression is that it's a useful feature for non-critical navigation, but I still carry my Garmin for the serious stuff. The combination of GPS and 3g is wonderful - open up Live Search and look for Fast Food near "Here" - yes, Garmins have a POI database built in, but it is very limited compared with the combined contents of MSN and Google!

Martin

Follow up : I am really beginning to be quite impressed by the sensitivity of this GPS. I went into London by train yesterday and switched the GPS on sitting in the middle of a crowded carriage. I got a five bird lock within a minute and retained it for the entire journey (apart from long tunnels, of course). On several occasions it was reporting locks on as many as ten satellites. Accuracy was also pretty good - assessed by comparing position reported through Google Maps with observation through the window - certainly, when we stopped in stations, the position in Google matched well. I've tried the same with a Garmin Vista Cx - on the same route - and you are lucky to get any kind of fix without sitting at a window seat, with the GPS held close to the window.

I don't know if this helps or if you already know about this feature of the GSMArena website, but have you checked http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6681&idPhone2=6173?

Keep in mind that the latest official stock ROM for the VK810 runs off of Android 5.0.2 and it's kinda sluggish, and updates to apps via the Play Store take extraordinarily long under Lollipop. I really wish they had at least updated to 5.1.1, which on the Verizon G3 worked noticeably smoother than 5.0.x. So I'd suggest finding out if there's been Android updates for the Lenovo to see if they at least have 5.1.1. Also keep in mind that builds of CyanogenMod 12.1 for the VK810 never got fully reliable for the VK810 in my opinion, and mobile data (and maybe GPS and Bluetooth) didn't work at all, so that's not really an option.

Looks like the Lenovo and the VK810 both have the same RAM and storage. 16 GB of internal storage really sucks IMHO, and I'll never get a tablet with less than 32 GB. I do have a 128 GB MicroSD card in it, at least.

I was running stock but heavily debloated and rooted Lollipop 5.0.2 on my VK810 until recently. I'm rebuilding my flashable debloat zips to take into account the bloat in the last KitKat release as I plan on trying going back to KitKat and will try to stay there. There'll be some things I'll miss about Lollipop but we'll see.

That all said, $75 is a hell of a deal with no contract, but there isn't really any active development for this device, and you already have a working LTE tablet, I wouldn't bother. Sure, another third of an inch larger than on the Lenovo, but that's not much.

Good luck, whatever you decide.
