[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
I nearly brought a new note 5 to tide me over until Samsung replace the note in what ever form, but i hate buying the same product twice although i did love the five but sold to a colleague the day before the recall. However i went with the oneplus3 which arrives tomorrow as the price and spec ratio is good for a phone i wont car about much. Already have a buyer for it at work once Sammy releases whatever whenever so all in all it will do for now

My plan is to get an 7 Edge until something better or a new Note comes along.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BozQ:
I will probably settle for the S7. There are several features that few other phones offer.

1. 4G+ network. I'm already paying for the subscription with my carrier, it's silly to get a phone that doesn't support this.

2. VoLTE. All this fancy smartphone devices and we hardly talk about call quality. I've had other smartphones and the call quality is plain crap. VoLTE makes a lot of difference.

3. 3G video calls. Very useful for communicating with my parents and in-laws when I'm out running an errand, without hassling them with third party data based video chat apps like Skype. Only Samsung phones offer this. And the best part? It uses my talk time rather than data.

So with all this considered, I'll settle with the S7, sans Edge. If the Note 7 had an alternative model without the Edge screen, I'd have gone for that. Otherwise, I don't see any practical benefit to have the Edge screen over the regular model.

Hello everyone,

im looking into buying a Fire HD8 (2016). I need it for writing some python code on the go, so I really need a proper ROM or at the very least Play Store. I know that the 2016 HD8 with v5.3.1.0 isnt rootable yet. How can I inform myself about the progress? Do we know that its still possible? I wouldnt like to buy the tablet just to find out that its the first one where amazon did some black magic and made it unusable for the task :D

So yeah any idea who is working on it, where, any information basically?

And another question: what kind of OS is the new HD 8 running? Is it again an android with some amazon launcher or did they release a full ROM?

Thanks for the support and all! :)

Hi sd_shadow, thanks for the quick reply! I hope I didnt come across as entitled, wasnt asking for an ETA or anything but my post reads this way.

I am trying to consolidate all the information I'm gonna need on Friday (when my HD8 arrives).

1) disable OTA updates by renaming apps

2) install play services, store, framework etc; let them update

3) ?

Anything I need to make sure it never ever updates OTA?

As of how to do it on 6th gen, so far I found this:

Disabling OTA update (by renaming the releavant apps):

"Installing Google Play Easy (works on 6th gen)"

"Install Google Apps Without ADB/PC"

- for 5th gen, someone in the thread claimed that it bricks 6th gen, still found the explanation interesting and somewhat similar to the one in the previous thread/link;

Official Stock Firmware:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63061579&postcount=3

Thank you! I was able to use your link to download the official stock firmware this to downgrade my HD 8 5th Gen/2015 KFMEWI from 5.1.3 to 5.1.2 via ADB sideload and then I used RootJunky's supertool to root using Kingroot, then disabled OTA, removed Ads, replaced Kingroot with SuperSU and installed FlashFire.

Now I'm just waiting for a stable Marshmallow (AOSP 6.0) ROM to come along. I'm SUPER jealous of all the attention the HD 7 (tate) is getting, I foolishly tried to flash the CM13 unofficial tate version using FlashFire and fortunately I just got a blank screen and nothing happened. But I really would love to test some different ROM's... do you have any recommendations I should try?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shcnex:
Hi sd_shadow, I just got my HD8 (6gen) and I realized that I need root in order to rename the apk files. I know that root is still not possible on the new HD8, so the usual methods wont work.

Is there any workaround or a way to prevent any updates while im using the device? Or am i missing something :fingers-crossed:

Regards!

Edit: tried to do it via ADB, renaming the file

No big surprise here, it seems highly unlikely that I will be able to prevent OTA updates. Any ideas what I can do to make sure that I can stay on this version or revert back to it in order to be able to root one day when its possible on 5.3.1.0? Updating all the time and moving a version up surely doesnt help in this regard.

Root Tool fails consistently please help

I have a strange situation here. Two years ago I successfully rooted my hd8 KFMEWI on 5.1.1. A few days ago I had trouble with the Fire Launcher (I had it set up with both Apex launcher and then Fire Launcher as an activity shortcut), so I did a factory reset, figuring I could easily root it again. Not true. I am still on 5.1.1 but there is an update ready, and now I cannot root! I tried everything and thought that I remembered using RootJunky's 5th gen tool, but it is failing, I can't figure out why except that I never see "fastboot" on the screen so I am only guessing based on the usb sounds when it is in fastboot mode, but I get failed along with row upon row of errors, failed to remount, permission denied, etc. (It passes the tests for fastboot and adb.) The very last line in the result asks to change permissions on system/bin/processes and I tried to type "y" but it does not respond. I have attached screenshots that show the result. ( i also tried several versions of King Root, no luck.) If you can help in any way, I would appreciate it sooo much. I have rooted all my other devices and never had this much trouble. Thanks!

It's been awhile.

I used KingRoot then replaced with SuperSU. I'm not able to find what version of kingroot I used at the moment. (It was an older version even at the time. Once I can get to my backup drives, I will see if I can find the version.)

I found the link I used to replace KingRoot with SuperSU.

(Looks like it was even updated.)

http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html

Be careful of that pending update. It bit me in the butt once. ;)

The update will install automatically if device is idle for awhile. (I forgot to turn one off.)

Also, in my experience, kingroot will fail while fireOS update is downloading. Normally it will succeed once the update is downloaded. Turn off WiFi and delete the update as soon as you can.

Then replace KingRoot with SuperSU, and you should be able to follow the rest of RootJunky's guide. (Block updates, install PlayStore, ect.. )

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] fst2011:
Hello,

I'm trying to find a contact or dialer app that allows you to add multiple pics to a contact. Example, most contact apps have a "note" section so instead was hoping I could either add pics to the note section or have a section just for pics.

Reason why I'm looking for this and also think it may be very useful to other people. On few contacts I keep nnotes, like favorite color, things they like etc...a few times I would see something in store or mag and wanted to take pic and save with that contact so I can remember what it looks like or etc.

If anyone knows of such a app or willing to create it, I would gladly pay and willing to bet many other users would find it very very useful.

thanks

[Moto X Q&A] themogul:
Hi,

I have a 2013 Moto X -- best phone I have owned in a long time after Motorola Razr :D

All of a sudden after using bluetooth in my car, the earphone has stopped working(may be a coincidence). No sound coming out of that - either phone calls or google voice. I have to put in headphones or use the speaker phone.

I have turned off Sound Equalizer, made sure bluetooth is off, turned off Nu player in Developer options, did a cache wipe and obviously rebooted multiple times - to No avail. The last one remaining is factory reset but that's a pain to setup everything again.

Anybody have any ideas/suggestions that I can try ? It's almost 3 years so I know it's old( well-- my dad's Nokia 3310 lasted him more than 8 years so that's saying something about today's phones).
