[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Randal84:
I'm constantly in a Verizon store for one thing or another, and have had the chance to play with the pixel. In my opinion, the HTC 10 is alot better. Google is trying way to hard to be like Apple with this device. Pixel launcher is styled similar to iOS, along with the pixel dialer. The previous version is absolutely perfect in my opinion. As others have said I love how easy this phone was to root and s off with sunshine. Flash a viper ROM and your set. I typically like to upgrade every 6 months to a year and see no need for it yet. I have had the m8 Windows (loved it and still miss it sometimes) the m9 (hated it) and feel the 10 is their best device so far (sales should have been better than they were) and just can't ever see myself trading in for a pixel.

I don't get people who live and swear by cloud storage. What do you do when you have no signal and need to access it?

I considered moving to a Pixel XL but I heard the new Pixel is in the works and I am happy with the google now implementation so I don't feel as left out with no google assistant.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I may have replied in this thread before - I don't recall. I was using the unlocked 10 direct from HTC while jumping through the slight hoops to run a custom stock-based Nougat ROM with the Verizon radio. I have a Pixel (32 GB unfortunately) to play with and I decided to take my SIM out of the 10 and put it in the Pixel to try for a while. To be fair, I am using the PureNexus ROM which is based on stock and I honestly like it better than any stock HTC 10-based ROM I tried on the 10. I hate not being able to have my 128 GB MicroSD card in it, but I just like how smooth everything works in comparison. Before the custom stock-based ROM came out, I definitely wouldn't have been able to stand the Pixel as a daily driver over my 10. I may go back to the 10 once I work some things out and try my best to get it working the way I feel it should. HTC admits that Nougat on the 10 is buggy so it's possible that is part of my issue with the 10.

I would also prefer the 5.5" XL. I keep hitting the wrong thing because of the smaller screen size of the non-XL.

Hi Everyone, I hope this is not a repeat.

I just spent several hours trying to figure out how to ADB connect to my new Kindle 8.9 (6th Generation running 5.3.1). The standard Google SDK USB Drivers dont work.

In the end I found that Amazon has released a new set of drivers that work only for the Fire 8. You can find them here:

developer.amazon.com/public/resources/development-tools/ide-tools/tech-docs/05-setting-up-your-kindle-fire-tablet-for-testing

Then I used Rootjunky to do the rest. THanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] sd_shadow:

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] dlabadie:
So I followed your instructions for HD 8 6th Gen, downloaded the drivers from Amazon & installed them. Ran RootJunky to install Google Play Store - a voila - it works! I then updated to 5.3.1.1 and Play store still works just fine. :)

I didn't venture to attempt to root with the RootJunky SuperTool. Anyone try that yet with success??
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Moody66:
Root is not possible on them with 5.3.1 .
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] santiago86:
Hi, I have a very noob question: If I install Google Play Store, I could have some problems with the OS updates in the future?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] dlabadie:
Nope. Google Play Store should not affect OS Updates. Once we are able to root, however, it could effect OS Updates or if an update goes through you may lose root. But, that's not an issue at present because there's not a good root method for the 6th Generation (unless someone's found one).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] dlabadie:
I keep looking around and still, it seems, there is not root method for the Fire HD 8 - 6th Generation (2016). Anyone else find one??
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Jackie78:
Damn, also I tried to block all updates using Netblock, my Fire Hd 8 6th generation found and isntalled an update today, anyone else? :( I was hoping there would be a root solution sooner...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] dlabadie:
Updated to 5.3.2 on my HD 8 (6th generation) - still not able to root. Sadness sets in. :(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] critofur:
So, I must be confused by having read posts about the "5th generation" HD8 and not the 2016 model, but I thought I read that it CAN be rooted?

Is it true that the 2016 Kindle Fire HD8 cannot be rooted? Mine is on OS 5.3.1 and it's telling me that update to 5.3.1.1 is "ready to install".

You just need someone to tell you how to pull the rom and post it so other can downgrade to 5.3.1 and await Kingroot solution.

Just got the Fire HD8 Gen 6 [2016]. Wondering if anyone has seen the method to root?

There are things on there such as different language keyboard, Google Play store that I would like to have.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] ralphkaz:
Can you explain why Kingroot will only be compatible with 5.3.1 and not 5.3.2?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Shinyhead:
In 5.3.2, amazon patched the exploit that allowed Kingroot to get root access.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] jpxdude:
No root, and no bootloader unlock is available yet.

I'm happy with my solution so far. Bought the no special offer version, using block-this to block all other ads, and installed play store manually. It's working great IMO. Also 5.3.2 installed Alexa, Alexa is fun to play with, but overall not that impressive.

You can get rid of the ads if you deregiter the device. Do the dererister and then contact Support

But here is my chat today with Support:

Me: I received a Fire HD 8 for Christmas.

I have currently deregistered it so I could avoid the lock screen ads which I find very distracting.

I'm OK with that solution but I thought maybe Amazon would prefer to have my Fire HD 8 (2016) registered with you and remove the lock screen ads.

Rakesh: I am really sorry for the trouble you are facing.

I will certainly help you to resolve this issue.

Me: So what would Amazon prefer

1) Device not registered or 2) you remove the darn ads

Rakesh:We need to register the device in your account so that we can remove the ads for you.

Rakesh: Please register the device back so that I can remove the ads for you

Me: working

done

Rakesh:Thank you

We generally charge $20.00 for this but as you are one of the loyal customer on Amazon I will remove the special offers free of cost for you.

Now I am running Opendsn to prevent OTA and of course had run the ad removal scripts to no avail due it having no root for 2016 HD8, but with OPEN DNS on, their "push" to remove the ads initially failed but after reboot seemed to take hold.

Success! Now I have no ads, Novalauncher, and Kindle functionality which is "almost" as good as root. Root would be nice so I could run Link2SD like on my 7" device (and avoid that slight bounce with home screen that comes with novalauncher hack)

So if you are Prime and/or spending thousands like me, seems worth the 2 minute chat. Chat was super fast and they had all the info right there and he was empowered to waive the charge without escalating which is nice change to other customer support.

Hey guys I have a Nexus 5 and I know the battery life isn't the greatest on this model of phone but it's drained faster than normal the last couple of days so I went and looked at the battery in settings and it's showing that "10142" is the thing that is draining the most. Does anyone know what that actually is? When I check it's details I don't have the option to force close it or anything it just shows it's used 345 mAh and used GPS for 4 hours and 31 minutes. Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] strongst:
With better battery stats you can figure out more, like if it's a service or whatever and the package name
[General Questions and Answers] GenieKnudson:
Re: A Simple solution

This is not the issue with 10142, your cache is the issue in the case, which is not able to support the system requirements by 10142 app.

Open settings of your android device

Locate your tap storage and USB

Then you have to Tap your Cached Data

When tapping is done, click Ok Button

Reboot your device.

If this is not the issue then ^^ you have to clear the system Cache in the following way.

First remember some key combination

Volume Down + Power Button = C1

Volume Up + Power Button = C2

Volume Down = C3

Power Button = C4

Shut down your device and press the C1, until you dont' see the recovery menu appearing.

Again press C3 until the word Recovery is not highlighted. Then reboot and come back in recovery.

A black screen will appear infront of you now press the C2 until new menu appear.

Now press C4 and navigate united the wipe cache partition is not highlighted. You have to press the C1 for rebooting to bootloader. You will get to the original settings. Now reboot by pressing C3 and again press C4. Your device will be now rebooted with cleaner version of the operating system

+1 Im keeping mine. You have more of a chance of dying in a car accident or even being murdered than your Note 7 catching fire. Besides, ALL phones carry a risk. Just google "iphone catches fire" and find the numerous "local" reports. Some even on planes in mid flight. The "National" media won't run these. Wonder why? Make no mistake, this was a targeted attack on Samsung for steadily taking the market away from America's precious Apple and to make way for American juggernaut Google. Btw, you can google "Nexus catches fire", or practically ANY phone model/brand and find recent news reports of said phones burning up. Sorry, I'm not drinking the Kool-aide. Samsung made a kickass phone and I'm not ditching them or the phone because the American media and American mega-corporations don't want them to have the bulk of the cell phone market.

Hi all,

I did an app to test your basic mental math and i need some feed back.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AmphitheatreStudios.MathematicalDefense

Mathematical Defense is an Arcade Shooter 2D game that revolves around defense. Your goal is to protect Earth by shooting down asteroids. You shoot them down by solving the calculation written above them. Over time, the difficulty increases, and space will be filled with more and more asteroids. If they get too close, then it’s game over.

There is progressive difficulty in Mathematical Defense. It begins with additions and subtractions, then with multiplications and divisions, and finally if you’re good enough you’ll encounter equations. While shooting down asteroids, you may encounter special ones that glow a certain color. Each color gives you different properties that will help you out for a short amount of time.

When asteroids get too close, planet Earth will explode and the human race will be extinct. If that happens then your score and high score will be displayed.

Mathematical Defense is an all-around fun game that good for training reflexes and math.

If you’ve enjoyed this game, please feel free to rate it !
