[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XbzakdX:
I fixed mine by connecting the test point

You must open your phone and connect ground (any wire to ground) and find the preloader testpoint

Mine was the second test point near the volume control and power button next to the sim or black cable under the orange plastic covering the connector

I dont have the picture but i can give you an example (not s860 but similar)

WARNING: FOR PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!

BE CAREFUL OR YOUR PHONE WILL BE DEAD!

(not actual photo)

Those are test points, find a wire (any electrical wire) screw it to the screw that's holding the motherboard (for ground) and try each one of the test point, be careful not to connect the wire to vcc,vcharge or any 4.xx pins (if you were checking using a multimeter)

Here's a video for disassembling the phone : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry37RjmnZRo

And here's for reference : http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f672/lenovo-a850-dead-boot-how-easy-jtag-1868940/index2.html

http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f958/a850-lenovo-dead-while-flashing-1888753/

After you find the test point, the phone will be detected by the computer as vcom or something, quickly install the mtk65xx driver (if you haven't install yet) and flash the stock rom using sp flash.

Best of luck.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Derpling:
Hi, currently i have the s7 edge and was thinking trying HTC10 but i heard bad things about the camera screen and battery. All of those are top notch on s7 edge and i was wondering what benefits htc10 could have over s7.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] entropism:
I have the S7, S7 edge and the 10. Most of the reasons I prefer the 10 are subjective. The camera is almost as good, it's quite close. The LCD is one of the best I've seen, but of course that SAMOLED is better on the Samsung. The sound and the hand feel is MILES ahead on the 10, and I feel I HAVE to use a case on the S7/Edge, while I go naked with the 10.

Add in root with no regrets (because of Knox) and custom roms, and that's about all the pros on the 10. I personally wouldn't switch if I were you. I got the 10 for free, but if I had to actually purchase it I wouldn't have.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] DeadPotato:
- Camera is good but night shots with very low light will require you to go pro mode; until the last upgrade which I hadn't properly tested yet in such conditions, the algorithms of the 10 tend to prioritize high ISO over longer shutter speed to capture light

- The SLCD is a top notch one but if you get a tianma you may have to deal with the pink tone from the glue a week or two while it settles down, after that color accuracy, contrast and such are very good

- The battery department depends on personal use, in my case I use to have around 6-7 hours SoT on indoors usage with web browsing, social media, YouTube or Netflix. Given the fact the S7 Edge has a bigger battery, I don't think you'll have better battery life probably

i think you have never installed custom rom so step by step :

1. install custom recovery for your device g901f

2. install S7 port rom for g910f and move it into your device storge

3. get into recovery and do full wipe (turn off your device ,press volume up + home button + power button , choose wipe advanced system & cahe & dalvic )

4. choose your system which you have put it on your device in step 2 ( in recovery install , choose the place you have put rom file in )

5. reboot your system & enjoy :good:

hi guys

new to the forum, hopefully someone will be able to help me

my unit has stock MTCC-KLD6-V2.97 Aug 02 2016 with a RK3188 and 1024x600 screen

Firstly the Bluetooth is not working, quite a lot of apps hang at the part where it try's to turn the BT on, especially one app i really need to work.

I honestly don't know what model of BT chip is installed in the head unit, apparently its BT 4.0 as listed on there website

I have been into the factory menu and changed the BT from WQ_BC6 to WQ_BC6B (as suggested somewhere in this forum) but it has made no change and the BT is still hanging at powering on.

Eonon have told me that the Bluetooth only work with devices that don't require a pin and the radar detector device i need to connect does not require a pin but still it does not work.

Not quite sure if eonon has set the setting wrong and i need to change it or i need to goto a custom rom or I need to pull the unit apart to find out.

Found someone else having trouble getting there ALPconnect app to work aswell on these units, in know ALPconnect wont work on older unit like the 4.4.4 as they only had BT 2.0 and the ALP BT only supports 4.0, but this android unit has 4.0 so it should not be a problem but it is.

Secondly the control menu in the android head unit for accessing the cars buttons via cambus does not work, all steering wheels button seem to communicate back and work, but i cannot set my clock on my mazda 3.

Also have noticed that the radio wont mute when notification occur or when using other apps like google maps, no way to set the different volumes in this stock rom. Have played around with the factory menu volumes but it makes no diffidence.

Is it viable and worth changing to a different ROM, like Malaysk? or should i message eonon?

any help would be much appreciated

thanks

[Android Head-Units] zandrm:
I'm having exactly the same issue with a Pumpkin MTCC-KLD6-V2.91. (RK3188/1024x600)

The device I want to pair with appears in Bluetooth settings (with a phone icon?) but connecting to it does nothing. It's just a Bluetooth SPP device, like so many other devices.

Malaysk's ROM (from 7/25) doesn't change anything here.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

-Zandr
[Android Head-Units] shanetrainST:
Waiting on a reply from Eonon, but initial news is not good.

Some serious BT issues in this model the MTCC

Anyone know if any Malaysk's Rom's avalable for the MTCC-KLD6-V2.91 that have no BT issues
[Android Head-Units] tolwyn68:
I'm having the same issue, though my unit (MTCC KLD6) does not show any devices at all to pair with, and the car unit does not appear on my phone.

I'm wondering - if I take a usb BT dongle and attach it to the usb cable, would that work?
[Android Head-Units] shanetrainST:
I think it might be another issue with your BT, it should connect to your phone at very least.

Have you had a look in your factory menu to see if the MCU has the Bluetooth option set?

Password for me was 126

Unfortunately the unit does not support external USB Bluetooth and probably never will, unless the manufacturer MTC/Klyde adds the required drivers to the unit or a Awesome developer by some stroke of luck here adds it to the unit. I doubt to see the feature in this unit
[Android Head-Units] tolwyn68:
Thanks for the reply. Yes, i checked to make sure Bluetooth was enabled in the system settings. I've tried a few of them (change setting, reboot, attempt pairing), i guess the next step is to try them all one by one to rule that out. I've sent an email to the seller to see if they have any ideas.
[Android Head-Units] tolwyn68:
The vendor told me to connect the Key-1 & Key-2 wires from the canbus to the car, not sure why they'd think that would solve BT issues?
[Android Head-Units] dmaiale:
Did this fix the issue? I'm unable to see any Bluetooth devices and other Bluetooth devices don't see it.
[Android Head-Units] Steelbeans 1:
Sorry to dig up an old thread

I have the Eonon GA2180a (android 10) - and having similar issues to here

I want to pair a bluetooth remote (read, steering wheel controls) to the head unit, but the bluetooth search just shows blank! I can connect to it using my phone but it appears some things are hidden to connect to with these android units? Looks like the bluetooth 'app' is the only way to connect too, theres nothing in the android settings to access a bluetooth menu or anything.

Did anyone get anywhere with this ?

I have the Tilt and I was wondering is their anyway I can have both Media Net and Balckberry running at the same time? Everytime i am messages or browser the web my bb disconnects. Any way around this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jomo25:
No, the Tilt can only connect to one APN at a time. MediaNet or blackberry.net
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mujomojo:
eh? so if i were to use ONLY the bb connect service for email, i'll get disconnected from browsing etc every time an email gets pushed out to me?

another question. i'm currently pulling down 4 pop3 accounts into their individual email "folders" on my tilt via default pocket outlook polling setup. can blackberry connect do the same with regards to different "folders" / account?

eg: shove different account emails to their respective outlook folders vs all in one bucket?

i had a 7200 series blackberry *years* ago using bb internet service and regardless of how many accounts you pulled down it all got dumped into the same bucket so to speak. there was no easy way to differentiate between biz critical vs personal emails at a glance.

?? so far i havent been able to find any helpful info re bb connect online yet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] WonkotheSane:
No, it's the other way around. Whenever something else grabs the data link, BBConnect goes into suspend mode and will reconnect when it's released.

I creates a separate folder for each e-mail acount. As far as I know, that's the only way it will do it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
how does it work Blackberry connect on the Kaiser ?

Do we need to install the Blackberry software ? (Blackberry connect 4).

Can we then browser the internet if my company pay for it ? (I had Blackberry connect 2 installed on an HTC Universal, I could read my emails and sync Calendar/notes/tasks but I never could browser the internet ...I never could make Black Connect 4 working on my Universal, so I don't know if I would be able to browser the internet with it).

Thanks a lot
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mujomojo:
hrm .. not the best scenario especially if using gps via google maps or web browsing.

speaking from personal experience using blackberry connect on your wm6 device?

thanks for the responses!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jomo25:
There are a number of threads of people posting their experience with BBC on the Kaiser. Browsing works, with some limitations. But also, its possible that your company's policies can restrict some BB functionality. It all depends on the config and the plans you have. But ultimately, you canbrowse the internet, you can get your email pushed to you. The biggest issue is the data connection issue described in the last couple posts. If you want more info. Search this forum for blackberry and you will find alot of testimonial expeirence in getting it set up and using it.

Personally, I found it to be too slow, too much of a memory and battery hog. I removed it within 2 days of installing it. And the difference in performance on the Kaiser and its battery is night and day IMO.

I use Seven's beta software now for my email pushing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
Thanks a lot for your infos !
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mrmikeyg:
I've been running it for a little more than a week.

Cons: I noticed that sometimes my appointments don't update on the Tilt when I move it on my desktop OL calender. You need to keep as few programs running as possible or it slows the device and the battery life isn't good. I like the BB keypad better. The Tilt wakes up with the screen dim and outside it is a real problem. I've had it lock up a few times and go so slow I needed to reset.

Pros: Best of WM and BB. The BB has a poor PIM so using PocketInformant again is very nice. 3G for browsing. The disconnect-reconnect is automatic so it isn't a problem for me.

I haven't made up my mind if I going to go back to my 8800. If I wasn't using BES (corporate email) I wouldn't use the BB but that isn't my choice.

Regards-Michael G.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] WonkotheSane:
Yes, you need to install BBConnect. You want BBConnect 4. I understand that HTC makes it available on their website for Kaiser. I got mine through AT&T on a Tilt, so it was a little different. One quirk, if you got your Kaiser in North America, you have to figure out if it came from Europe or Asia to register on the HTC site. One of the major improvements in BBConnect 4 is it will suspend the blackberry connection if you access the internet using a non-blackberry browser.

You can browse the internet one of two ways. When you install the blackberry software, it also installs the blackberry browser. It will be in the blackberry folder in the programs folder. This goes through your company's system to the internet. This won't interrupt your e-mail, but the blackberry browser is rather weak.

The other way is through any other browser. However, you have to have the APN for your provider programmed in. Your provider's web site will probably have that information. Unlimited data usually comes with a blackberry data plan. So, if you can get your company to pay for a plan, that should get you internet access, even if you don't go through your company's BES system.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] WonkotheSane:
That's true. You have to be careful to avoid programs that suspend bbconnect constantly.

Yes. It's running on my Tilt.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jomo25:
Regardless of where your Kaiser or Tilt came from, you can follow these links to the software needed to install it, if you want it.

http://www.america.htc.com/mobile/connect/8925/

http://www.america.htc.com/connect/8925/

You need 2 pieces (get one from each link above):

1. You need the Blackberry Connect software that installs on your Kaiser/Tilt. It's a .cab file. (first link above)

2. You need the Blackberry Connect for Windows Desktop software that installs on your PC. It's a .exe file. (second link above, halfway down the page)

There's also a help file at the bottom of the second link.

Hi,

Sony blocks 3rd party apps from deleting from the SD card. This makes deleting photos a bit of a pain as they have to be deleted first, using Sony's "Album" app, then from the cloud using google Photos.

I have a rooted phone and see that my /sdcard/DCIM/100ANDRO folder (for example) has 660 permissions for root | sdcard_rw, so I'm guessing that for an app to be able to write/delete to the sd card, it needs to be in this group, yet, if I do a # cat /etc/group | grep sdcard_rw I get nothing.

How do I see and edit which user context is used for an application and to which groups that user belongs?

Thought it was a dead portion of the screen. However, the same area works on the lock-screen as well as rotated in an app.
