I have a 2005 BMW E46. It has the factory fit double DIN sat nav with Harmon Kardon audio package.

I have been putting up with the Nintendo Gameboy graphics and poor audio quality for a few years now. The main stumbling block is the slot isn't full double DIN depth. It is double DIN slot, but much shallower on the lower part.

In terms of fit, the Alpine ILX700 (007 in USA), Parrot Asteroid Smart will fit fine. If we're talking android HU, then the Erisin 4046, 3062, Xtrons 7546, physically fit. Now I know enough that the Erisin and Xtrons generally have a bad reputation, in terms of QC, QA, reliability and support.

Wants : 7/8/9 inch display. Mirroring of iphone and android phone. Physical controls for volume and some functions.

Good BT handsfree. BT streaming. Decent FM/AM radio with RDS. DAB option would be nice. Ability to run Torque. Clean audio signal. Ability to read SMS. Run google maps. Voice control like Siri or android equivalent. Slick interface. Reliable.

So what options do I have ? Are there decent HU available to me ?

What would you do ?

thanks

Nexus 7 "Soft Bricked", in never-ending Boot Loop, need help in simple terms

I have a Un-Rooted Nexus 7 2012 32GB (bought new in Nov 2013) that suddenly and for no reason "soft-bricked", stuck in a never-ending

Boot Loop (swirling/spinning 4 color circles). I still had Android

4.4.4 running on it, except for the typical slacker stock Launcher

hangs and not responding, it was running pretty good.

I have tried a few time to do a "factory reset" from the Recovery Menu

(Pwr & Volumn Down procedure) and nothing, also tried before that the

Cashe Clearing. Nothing gets it to Factory Reset, just another Boot Loop.

I have never tried a Rooting of an Android device (though I've been in

Windows and IBM Network IT engineering for 25+ years.) Can someone

help me step by step in near layman's term to restore this Nexus 7?

I'd actually rather NOT Root it for a custom ROM, just get it back to KitKat 4.4.4 (Preferred) of if I have to LolliPop 5.1 which I have experienced is the dead end for the N7's (2012 and 2013's) since my older N7 2012 8GB refuses to update to 5.1.1.

Appreciate the step by step help. If you're recommending a PC program

I need to use, please supply the link to the exact version to

download.

Thanks

Hi,

U can unlock ur nexus 7 bootloader and then flash the stock ROM using the Nexus Root Toolkit. Use this to unlock bootloader. Then on the right side ull see a flash option. Under that select bootloop and then click on flash. It should get u out of bootloop. Then relock bootloader if u want. Before using it check whether u have the proper adb drivers installed.

NRT- http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/

U can get the stock ROM images from(if needed) - https://developers.google.com/android/images

This new version of Google maps works on my treo 750. It knows your location based on the GSM towers. (no GPS needed, pretty cool)

I have to force my treo off hsdpa into GSM/EDGE mode though or it wont lock on correctly. Menu>Preference>Phone Settings>Services>Band Selection>Select GSM instead of Auto or UMTS.

[Palm Treo 750] s4czech:
I found a way to force google maps to work with HSDPA

(no need to disable things back to EDGE as posted above)

Basically, Navizon has a nice option that will setup a virtual GPS port. Here's how you get everything working

1) install www.navizon.com (it's free)

2) launch navizon

3) Menu, Options, hit the left arrow icon (lower right on screen) until the GPS tab appears (lower left on screen)

4)Set everything as follows

-GPS: NO GPS (Navizon Vrtula GPS)

-Baud Rate 4800

-Auto Start (NOT checked)

-Output Port: COM9: (Virtual)

-Load outlput port into driver memory (check this box ON)

-Use physical output port (NOT checked)

-Click ok

5) Click start, settings, System tab, External GPS

6) Programs Tab, GPS program port: GPD9,

7) hardware tab, GPS hardware port: COM9, Baud rate 4800

8) Access tab, Manage GPS automatically (check this box ON)

9) click ok, x out, you should be back in Navigon now

10) click the start action button (lower left screen in Navizon)

11) You should zip to your location on the map. Ok now while you leave navizon running, go ahead and startup Google Maps

12) Googlemaps, Menu, Options, GPS Settings, "Set by Windows....." check this on! Click ok

13) Menu, "Use GPS"

BOOM ! Google will work and you can leave HSDPA full speed internet access working instead of having to force it to GSM/EDGE as above.

Google Maps, on the other hand, I can get to work, with a 3000 meter accuracy, but only in GSM mode.

Any ideas?

When I first signed up for Navizon it didn't work for me either. Then, on the main web site, I found that they had set my default location somewhere in Georgia: I live in California. After much trial-and-error was able to get my default location to set my local area. Navizon now works. However, I didn't like it much and have moved back to Google Maps. I like the Google product much better even with the GSM limitation.

If I had to wager a guess Id say theres an app thats downloading lots of data.

Otherwise do a factory reset and see if it happens again.

Anything's possible, unfortunately off the top of my head I dont have a method. Long shot youd have one but years ago I'm pretty sure I could keep tabs on that when I had DDWRT installed on my router.

***speaking of my fuzzy memory (read lots of stuff here) and Im about 80% certain someone posted here that was able to track specific network activity, though he didn't share his method. Don't think anyone asked.

Sorry. I've come to the conclusion that if I spend too much time struggling with android, the easiest thing to do is nuke it--factory reset. You can make a backup 1st so if the issue reappears you just go back and your data will be there.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entropyaz:
I too started running into the out of storage space problem a few weeks ago and arrived at the large mbcache.db and mbcache.db-wal files. I SCP'd them off of the firetv to look at offline, and they are SQLite database files that seem to cache all of the app/media metadata information that is pulled down from amazon (name/description/links to images and background images/etc).

Some sample snippets from the database:

$strings -a mbcache.db | head -n1
SQLite format 3

$strings -a mbcache.db | egrep ^text | head -n10
textOFields of Battle
textMBest of Movies
textPRecently Added TV
textJTrending TV
textZOriginal & Exclusive Movies
textSRecommended Drama TV
textaRecommended Science Fiction Movies
textNElection Movies
textWTop Movies & TV on Prime
textWAmazon Original Comedies

Note: XDA wouldn't let me post links, but I wanted to demonstrate above that the database also calls images/background images via http for items in the launcher.

I don't think removing the permissions that make these files writable is necessarily the correct fix though, or at least if you still plan on using the stock Amazon launcher, which many of us do. When this file is not writable (chmod 0), several of the menu items (home/prime/tv/movies/etc) will not populate with anything and get stuck on a loading screen and remain empty. The device needs to be able to pull down metadata and write to the mbcache files for items to populate in these menus.

After I removed the files and rebooted the firetv, the new mbcache file created was about 5mb. I'll need to do some monitoring to see how often this file is written to and how quickly it grows, but I suspect what is happening is this file is append only and continues to grow as new items are added to the amazon library online and are cached locally on the firetv. If that is the case, it makes me wonder if it was an oversight in the firmware coding to not set a max file size and clean/purge old cached items. If it's a slow increase of ~5mb per day or so, that might explain why it took so long to finally exhaust all available free space on the firetv and only recently started becoming an apparently issue for us.

I'm currently running 51.1.6.3. I'm going to monitor/test for a few days on this firmware, and then I'm going to flash the latest pre-rooted stock 5.2.1.1 and see if there's any difference. If there is nothing in the firmware to limit the size that this file can grow to or purge old cached items out, then it might need to be a file that needs to be manually removed by users at some regular interval (1-12 months) or something.

For anyone not using the amazon launcher (firedtvlauncher or similar), then the chmod 0 solution will probably be fine. My comments are really more aimed at retaining stock amazon launcher functionality while addressing the file size issue.

This is just after some preliminary troubleshooting and will need to do some further monitoring/testing, but hope this info helps for anyone else running into the problem.
