[XDA Assist] BretMan:
Hello,

Just joined, having heard what a great forum this is for Android users. I just changed from Windows Phone to a Moto E (2nd gen) XT1521 (Dual SIM -Global) with Android 5.1 updated to 6.0 and also have a Tegra Note 7 Tablet with Android 4.3 updated to 5.1.

I'm new to Android and very focused on privacy and security. I don't want apps snooping and collecting my private information. I understand that by rooting Android, this opens up much more control and options. So, I'm an Android nube and I haven't rooted anything yet. I searched online for my specific models and Android versions and am not getting a match.

Anyway, my searches did provide info. of rooting my devices but with older versions of Android on them. Is it important to root specifically for the Android version currently in the device? If so can anyone here offer specific instructions?

Thank you,

Bret

Got an D802 stuck on fastboot,

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danny2g:
Hi guys, I bought the phone from someone with this issue. It gets hot very fast when I use it, also when in charge, so much that sometimes I can't touch it. The battery also drains very fast when it's in use. I tried every solution on Google I could find but no luck. It also won't power on without the charger being in even when battery is fully charged. I rooted it now and want to know if I install cyanogenmod Wil maybe resolve this issue? Thanks.

That is strange as the only time my N910C uses allot of power is when I play 3D intensive games on it or use to work on heavy tasks.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danny2g:
Could this be the motherboard that's faulty or something?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] last1left91:
I also got my phone second hand from a guy and my phone also gets hot when making intensive tasks. I don't usually play games. But it gets hot when using location(Tinder). Is this related to ROM. I don't think it has to do with the motherboard although you should go and see a service!! Let me know what were your results. Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
Yeah, I'd take it to a Samsung Service Center and let them check it out. It could be the battery cable is loose.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amar.B:
I also had the same issue when i first bought my phone 4 month ago but after the latest update the over heat problem is gone. Try to flash the stock rom through odin. Battery problem your facing it could be from the battery calibration try to drain out the battery let drain fully if your phone switched off by itself try to power it on again for many times as possible then charge your phone while it's switched off for 2 hrs power on your phone and charge it again for 30 min hopefully this will resolve the battery calibration issue.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragment90:
Try Custom Rom

You should try it out. When i a got my SM-N910F, it was a real hot headed one (on Stock 5.0.1).

After flashing a custom rom, the tempratures dropped significantly.

Currently iam running a custom kernel and undervoltet slightly. The Phone is running cool and stable.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OberstGrausam:
Depends. Only in case your problem is software related. In case of an hardware defect, a custom rom won't change anything. You should monitor your GPU and CPU usage of your device. You can use apps like cpu z to measure it. When the clock speed of you CPU is constantly high even with the simplest tasks, you can consider rooting your device, flashing a custom rom/kernel and try to reduce the clock speed. This may help keeping the temperature in check but won't do anything about defective hardware.

But, as you said, this problem persists even with stock firmware (maybe the guy you bought it from flashed the wrong firmware.....) this could only have 3 reasons: 1. defective hardware, 2. defective software/wrong firmware, 3. Some of your apps in the background is going crazy (try to use better battery stats or wakelock detector for that).

Good luck.

Reflash stock firmware via fastboot, then issue command "fastboot oem lock", although it'll change the bootloader state to "relocked" instead of the factory "locked".
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] rockluvva:
Hi

I do have a basic knowledge of bootloaders, rooting etc (have done all that on various Android phones), but with my new LG G5 H850 Unlocked European phone, I'm stumped. I have activated the unlock OEM in Dev Options, have enabled USB Debugging, installed who knows how many LG drivers, USB drivers, ADB drivers, etc, yet the DOS window can't see the phone.

I have a Windows 8.1 laptop. When I type adb devices into my Dos window, it can't see the phone (nothing comes up in the list). I type ADB reboot bootloader & it just says "Error: Device not found". In my laptop Device Manager it shows as a G5, it shows in Device Manager as the various Android devices when I change the various USB options from charge to photos, to file transfer, etc, I can happily move files between the phone & laptop within Windows Explorer, but my laptop just doesn't seem to see it within DOS.

I can't even manually boot the phone into Bootloader using the vol key & on/off switch, but I guess that'll take practice (even have trouble taking screenshots that way).

I guess I can't root without unlocking the bootloader? I've tried one-click root & King root, but both fail.

I'm obviously being a complete pratt & missing something somewhere (& am sure I'll kick myself if/when I find out).

Thanks
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] gwolfu:
try to use driver from link below

https://1drv.ms/f/s!Au9ppCUF0J7lgZpUFNW-cf8ot0EweA

now while making sure usb debug is enabled, try to see if in device manager in windows, you have the proper driver selected

I remember one time Windows did use a generic ADB driver that did not work with my G5 so this might be your case also

alternative way of testing is by trying to install a virtual machine and see if you can read it from there

most of the cases this is windows fault (you I know Microsoft douh)
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] rockluvva:
Hi Gwolfu

Yup, I have that driver already, thank you for that. But I've now been able to unlock the bootloader. Guess a reboot was in order, as it's the first time I've turned on the laptop today.

Thanks so much for your reply though :)

[AT&T LG G3] jon_yarbrough:
Hi all. I have the At&t D850 and I'm always having signal issues with my mobile data. I normally get anywhere from 1 to 2 bars if I'm lucky. Even if I unroot and flash back to stock KitKat (what my phone came with), it's the same thing. I'm not much on signal strength, radios/modems, but I'm tired of dealing with it. I do NOT want to take my phone apart to solder this or that or anything like that. I am currently running Fulmics 5.3 Marshmallow ROM and my signal strength is: -117 dBm 28 asu. These numbers don't mean anything to me, because I'm not familiar with it, but from what I've read, "lower is better". Ok, are they referring to the dBm or the asu being lower and better? Is the -117 considered a negative number since it has the "" in it? What is the signal range for a good/strong signal? Should I flash a new radio/modem on my phone? Thanks in advance.﻿
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] zaiko93:
Hello,

today I woke up and saw my phone is switched off, despite it has been plugged in to original charger. I thought that maybe charger or cable is broken and battery went down through night. I tried 2 chargers and 2 cables and plugging to my PC. Any of these methods didn't wake up my phone - even notification LED wasn't on.

Later I've read everything about unbricking, but every method requires booting in recovery or fastboot mode - none of them works. I tried every combination of holding buttons and nothing is showing on the screen.

Once when I connected phone with PC LED was green, but it didn't change anything.

Phone is recognized by Windows and I made a backup of important files. When connected to PC I can hear sound of plugging and unplugging device to PC in random interwals of time.

My phone has unlocked bootloader and has stable ROM by MIUIPolska.

I would appreciate any advices what should I do to wake up my Mi5.

Is Samsung going to fix the OS battery drain that plagues the S7e? If not, it a deal breaker for me. I gave up the S7e for moto z force and the battery last at least 30% longer. Both phones have very similar size battery at 3600mAh & 3500mAh respectively.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sonhy:
not all s7e have the battery drain issue, if you have tried a full factory reset and tested the phone without installing extra apps and its still got battery drain then get a refund I guess. got heaps of apps on mine, like tasker and macrodroid and I don't really have any battery issues.

How can you only get 4h or SOT when the battery is basically the same size as the S7e and the display is hardly any larger? I've got the S7e and it has the most amazing battery life of any phone I've ever used. I'm holding out on getting the Note 7 until there is some more data on just how long the battery last. If it really is 4h, then I'll give it a miss.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chikenbok:
When I find the link I'll edit my post but someone has claimed, and been showing 5.5+ hours of SoT with everything running (BT, AOD, tons of apps in the background, etc.).

I wouldn't be too worried, it has a fairly large batt, and I doubt it's going to run a much shorter duration than the s7e, it simply wouldn't make sense.

Let's see a screenshot first.

I believe that some people don't have it for whatever reason (don't change a thing or you might find out what everyone is complaining about) but you're a tiny percent compared to those that do.

3500mah should easily get 7 if it weren't for the MM drain bug.

S6 with 2550 is easy 5 on LP. Barely 4 on MM.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] thintin:
Hi.

I'm looking for some help regarding the functions available via the steering wheel on my Mondeo MK4. I've read numerous threads that touch on this topic but I haven't found any definitive answers so I thought It would be worth starting a specific one here.

Background

I replaced the original Sony 6 CD Head Unit with an Auto-Pumpkin (MTCC RK3188 KLD6 V2.91) which has an external CAN bus decoder.

What works (the left steering wheel button array):-

Volume Up/Down

Track next/previous

Function button to cycle between AM/FM Radio, DVD, AV-IN, Video, Audio App

What doesn't work (the right steering wheel button array and indicator stick additional functions):-

Ability to select mobile phone options (answer/end calls, call list, address book)

Voice commands button

I never used the voice controls so that's no great loss, but I did use the mobile phone controls often, so would like to explore the options of regaining them.

I am aware that varying levels of CAN bus functionality can be achieved by selecting different configurations from the settings menu on the head unit, and some people have even re-wired for improved function but not on a MK4 Mondeo (that I can find via google).

I'm assuming the phone issue is CAN bus related because when I select any function that is based on the SoM (DVD, FM Radio, Video in etc) the Convers+ shows more options, including phone (although it is greyed-out - I'm assuming because no phone is paired). I also noticed that the Ford bluetooth module is still active as it shows up, but only when this menu is available. Unfortunately I can't connect to it because the Android HU doesn't display the PIN for pairing like the original Sony HU did.

This is a picture of the Convers+ when the Android HU is operating with only Android apps running (e.g. DAB tuner, Rocket Player)

[IMG="Convers+ when only Android apps are running"]http://www.tuckshopmemories.com/IMAGES/DSC_0004.jpg[/IMG]

This is picture of the same Convers+ when any of the SoM apps are running (DVD, FM Radio, Video in etc)

[IMG="Convers+ when SoM apps are running"]http://www.tuckshopmemories.com/IMAGES/DSC_0001.jpg[/IMG]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it would seem that the CAN bus controller activates only when one of the SoM apps are running? I only understand the basics of CAN bus and how it interacts with the HU so this is very much a wild guess.

What I would like is to have my phone controls available via steering wheel buttons, in whatever way that is possible.

Any help, advice or suggestions are, as always, greatly appreciated.

p.s. these are the HU details
