[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jesseb342:
Just a minor update. I got a second-hand Kindle fire for my son. I thought it was one of the 50 dollar ones they're selling now since it was in plastic behind glass in a locked case and all it said was Kindle fire 7 inch. Dated 1-3-17. For 20 bucks I thought what the heck. Well, upon getting it home and tinkering with it, I quickly discovered it was a Kindle fire 2nd gen from 2012. Still not bad for 20 bucks as the thing was pristine, but I hated the UI. After a little bit of digging, I discovered that you could easily install TWRP, Gapps, and Cyanogenmod 11 on it. All info I found here (surprise surprise, I love this site.) Now that's done and my son loves his tablet. It's just like a proper Android tab.

Anyway, anyone who's tinkered with older Kindle devices knows about fastboot cables (and yes, I did need one, dang bootloops!). I thought I would try the fastboot cable on the stubborn Coolpad. Still no go. So at this point, either the images I have are invalid and I can't get new ones (weeks of Google searches have turned up zip as far as a stock rom for this phone), or the phone is locking me out due to some non-standard security feature. I'm thinking the second. I can understand if the images I have are bad, but that shouldn't affect things like querying the lock status of the bootloader, or trying to erase the boot partition and not getting a response.

I'm out of ideas. If anyone knows anything about this, specifically if this is unique to Coolpads, please let me know. Otherwise, the phone is going to end up in a drawer, probably forever. Thanks.

First off, the information contained in your post doesn't really gives anybody a clue on how to help you. Phone model, previously working android version, rooted or stock etc. That would be a good place to start
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jesseb342:
The phone is a Yulong Coolpad model 801 ES. I was running stock 4.1.2 JB ROM rooted with Kingroot. Developer options were unlocked and allow ADB debugging was checked. ADB and Fastboot drivers were installed and working properly as I was able to make a backup of my recovery partition and a "Nandroid" image. Note, the Nandroid image wasn't made using a custom recovery, it was made using DFS Evolution phone tools. It said Nandroid backup, and it did generate a file named 801es.img that's roughly 248 mb. I can't tell what partition it is since it has a non-standard header. Every image kitchen I've tried to use tells me bootmagic is missing when it tries to unpack.

The phone was working fine until I flashed an incompatible TWRP recovery. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I can get into fastboot mode, but every command I send other than fastboot devices and fastboot reboot ( like fastboot boot recovery.img, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, fastboot erase recovery, fastboot flashing unlock, ...) just hang. I've waited for over an hour on some and they still didn't complete. I've tried every USB port on my PC, 6 different cables, three different OS's (Win 8, WIn 8.1, and Ubuntu), and a second PC (my laptop) to try and eliminate all possible problems. All that and still no luck. This phone just will not respond to fastboot commands like it should and I have no idea why.

Hopefully that answers all your questions. Maybe you have some ideas.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iamst.ralph:
Your phone is obviously a MTK phone hence fastboot commands get stuck. Search for the firmware of your phone on Google and download it, download Sp flashtool. When you're done downloading, post here

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kxrma:
I think that the fastboot commands do not work because in the source code of the bootloader ( lk/little kernel ) , there is an option to disable fastboot commands, which I believe deletes the fastboot commands list from the bootloader. The only way to bootloader unlock the phone is to do a SBL exploit of some kind. I've used EDL mode and AVB ( Android Verified Boot ) key cloning to my advantage and patched the boot.img to edit the kernel cmdline. It is possible to root this phone, but it takes some patching and partition modifying.

I am sure many miss the ability to lock the rotation whether if you are in landscape mode or portrait mode. But as you may know, on OOS4 (Nougat) when you lock the rotation it goes back to portrait mode.

After trying many apps I found a solution that is actually better than what I was looking for. My intention was to find an extra tile but instead I found out that this app will modify de behaviour of the existing tile. So when you are in landscape and lock the rotation it will stay locked in landscape mode. Just like the old days.

To do that just download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate

Then set it up like in the screen shots attached and you're done.

The only drawback is that you need a license after 7 days.

Hope this helps.

The only way to clean it completely is to flash a clean ROM.

Its beta and is available from several forums. The file name is "Samsung Internet-5.2.02-94.apk". I tried a previous beta before upgrading and factory resetting. It is wonderful and supports 5 adblocking extensions all at once to be activated. I want it again but do not want to install a apk from a forum(not trusted like this one is) and risk having my device compromised. How do you get beta updates to samsung apps?

[Huawei GX8] ppkziyaz:
Hi,

I'm using last stable release of BeanStalk but when I use different apps to monitor my cpu cores, only my device use 4 cores and the other 4 cores are disabled. How can I use all 8 cores?

I modified build.prop file but it doesn't work:

# perf

ro.core_ctl_min_cpu=2

ro.core_ctl_max_cpu=8

ro.min_freq_0=960000

ro.min_freq_4=800000

ro.vendor.extension_library=libqti-perfd-client.so

Please help me!
[Huawei GX8] parkeridom:
Man, the 8 cores cannot be used simultaneously. This is called a "big-little" configuration, where 4 more powerful cores are paired with 4 less powerful cores. At any given time (except for a very brief time during the so-called "core-switch"), only either the 4 powerful cores (for performance use-cases) or the 4 less powerful cores are active (for power-saving use cases). This restriction is built in the hardware architecture, and software has to honor it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] rdefino:
So I rooted and flash my s7 back to stock. Since then and after doing a couple of full factory resets and with no SD card in the phone's "recent" and "back" buttons at the bottom will light up, screen stays blank during this, then the phone will not wake up for a few seconds. Even if I'm pressing the Home and power buttons. Happens randomly.

I've used Package disabler Pro to disable all bloat ware, but still didn't help. Really not sure what to try next.

Any thoughts?

You can also look into the U-firmware. The latest build works very well on Verizon, and it's VERY responsive. You miss out on all of the Verizon based features, but everything else is silky smooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] rdefino:
Is this Marshmallow or Nougat? I can;t find much on it, or maybe I'm looking t the wrong threads. Any write ups on what is different? Is it rooted?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
The one I linked is the exact same Marshmallow build you already have.

The U-firmware I mentioned is also Marshmallow. I did a short write-up with pros and cons in this forum a few days ago, along with a link to the firmware.

Finally, nothing that you flash with Odin on this phone will be rooted. The engineering (root) kernel can be flashed with Odin as part of the process to root the phone, but it won't flash a rooted system.

ahh, cool. Thanks.

I have a problem with charging my HTC Kaiser.

When connected to the PC it charges the battery without any problems.

But when connected to the 220volt or 12/24volt, the PDA stops charging after 10 minutes.

A couple known issues. See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=355232

My issue originally presented like yours. It was a result of a slightly broken USB port. Look for bowing or anything other than an arrow straight usb port pin block. May be slightly lower on the right side. Also, if you use a tool like sk tools you can see what the power is doing. My charge light would temporarily come on as yours does, but sk tools actualy reported a higher rate of discharge. This issue requires a return, at least for me it did.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ttt123:
Take a look at this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=354760

Your problem sounds similar. If your USB port is defective, it would not charge at all, no matter where it is connected.

I have found problems using AC USB chargers. Many will not work with PDA phones.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GSLEON3:
That's just wrong. There are multiple pins. See the chart guy. If it's broke on the right side, you may only lose the 5V charge & maybe left audio. Remember this is USB & there is more than just a single connection you're dealing with. Also, I know for a fact that this is what caused mine because I enclosed a letter with my device & the Tech at HTC Repair called me & confirmed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ttt123:
The pinout on the Kaiser:

- only pins A, B, C, D, E are used for the USB plug.

- take a look at the USB male plug. There are only 5 pins.

- only pins A=GND and E=+5V are used for charging. (I did some research into this when I was converting a camera charger to a USB charger, by adding a female USB plug)

These are the same charge connections that are used, whether you plug it into your PC, or into an AC charger. If the Kaiser charges normally when connected to the PC, and does not fully charge when connected to an AC USB charger, then it is the charger that is the problem, not the Kaiser.

I have experienced the same symptoms on some chargers, and not on others, on both the Hermes, and the Kaiser. I have tried different chargers, and verified that certain chargers will charge the Kaiser, and others will not.

So, GSLEON3, your symptom may be accurate for your phone, in that a problem on the right side of the USB plug may have affected pin E, and caused a charge problem. However, that would have stopped charging from any source, and not just from a USB/car charger.

My opinion is based upon my own experience. I have about 10 different AC USB chargers. Cheap ones and proper ones, up to 3A output. None of them would charge the Kaiser properly. The iPod one would. I can switch back and forth, and get the exact same symptoms described in this post.

If you had the same symptoms as in this post (could charge OK from the PC, but not from other sources), and HTC service told you that it was a defective USB plug, then I would say that they are just taking the easy way out, and telling you something without really knowing what the problem was. This is not an uncommon thing for service groups to do. As somebody who comes from a service background (though not on consumer electronics), I have seen this happen too often, hearing an explanation from the service department that I knew was wrong.

My analysis/opinion is easily proven right or wrong. Just try it on another charger that is known to work. An iPod charger, Blackberry charger, etc. If it proves out, then you have an answer. If it does not, then there must be another reason.

It's not very good troubleshooting to exclude options without trying them. Try them all, and see which one fits.

KIW-L24 Honor 5X

B331 Firmware.

I am having a really odd issue with anything but the Stock ROM. I have searched and there references to what may be a similar problem that is fairly unique. Have a pair of new Honor 5X phones.

A search revealed a peripherally related issue...possibly.

https://xdaforums.com/honor-5x/development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-official-kiw-l24-t3430945/post70550519

Connectivity is perfect on WiFi. This made it hard to diagnose the issue as it seemed intermittent.

All apps except google play framework including google now/assistant can use LTE data no problem. GMail, browsing, everything but Play and Google assistant/now. I did a lot of APN confirming and trying different connections but it seems specific to google play or at least in some way related to the core google framework.

If I switch the phone to 3G, everything works. In fact, if I put it on 3G and then switch to LTE, google will work for a while and then lose connection. This was a big breakthrough as it narrowed the problem to LTE access by google. Cell provider is ATT MVNO/Net10/Tracfone. I don't think it's the provider b/c everything works perfectly on stock. I've tried CM13, LineageOS and RessurrectionRemix and all have the same problem, which makes me wonder whether it's inherent to Gapps implementation.

I'm stymied by this issue. I've attached the syslog output that will hopefully help someone smarter than me figure this out.
