[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mang0:
You wouldn't be able to see much information via fastboot getvar all unless you were in download mode, so it's not really that strange.

Sometimes you can "trick" (I don't know if that's the correct word) the system into entering download mode from the above method.

At least, from this post and this post, that is what I gathered.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] domme0852:
I tried the Method but the Phone still don't want to boot into download mode. It starts the bootloop like before.

I also tried to do an Update via the RUU.exe but this doesn't work too. The program stops with the error low battery although the phone was the whole night on the charger in bootloader. (Don't know if it does not charge right in this state)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaydayMalone:
I own two Nook HD+ tablets, and one has a problem viewing GMail images. If more than one jpg file is attached to an email, one image will display properly, but the rest display as thumbnails. If I download the attached jpg files first, clicking on the thumbnail in the email displays the complete image. To the best of my knowledge, there is no difference in the OS, apps, or settings between the HD+ that works properly and its evil twin.

Both GMails are the same version, and both have identical settings. Reinstalling (updating) GMail did not solve the problem. I am considering reinstalling CM11 as a last resort (can I do an install of CM11 on top of the existing CM11?). Does this make sense? Is there a better alternative? Is it time for a Nook exorcism?

Thanks for any help, advice, or sympathy you have to offer.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bigj0110:
Is anyone else having an issue with Bixby voice to text? Where I completely disabled Bixby voice to text, but still leaving Google Voice to Text on. Then a few minutes later Bixby voice to text is turned on again, by itself, automatically. it overrides the Google voice to text, which I realized it when trying to use Google Voice to Text from the keyboard. It will end up opening Bixby voice to text, instead of Google voice to text.

I contacted Samsung about this twice. The first time, they never heard about this issue. Then the second time I called, they told me there is an issue with Bixby, but they don't know what to do to fix this and they don't know if and when a fix for Bixby is comming out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mrb6208:
Go to settings and select apps then hit menu button and select show system apps. Then find Samsung voice input and disable it. It then defaults to google voice to text. It works after reboot too.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bigj0110:
That's exactly what I'm doing. But every few minutes continuously it turns Bixby voice to text back on in the same OS settings. When I try to use Google voice to text every few minutes or so, Bixby voice to text comes up instead of Google voice to text. Then when I go to the same settings again Bixby voice to text magically is turned on by itself. This is a repetitive cycle every few minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mrb6208:
When I changed the settings in language & inputs it kept doing what your describing but if your disabling Samsung voice to text there's no way it should be enabling itself. I have an s8 plus on T-Mobile and it works for me. I'd try to swap out your phone before it's been 14 days cuz Bixby sucks. Good luck!

I'm on my 3rd device because of multiple bugs. I fixed every bug except the Bixby Voice to Text issue, and a Wi-Fi issue. Till the point, I'm unable to use my Wi-Fi. I made another post on this site about it.

At least for the Wi-Fi and, they want me to send them the phone and remain without the phone for at least 2 weeks minimum. They keep saying they never heard of this issue, except the one representative who got multiple calls about it personally. Samsung has done absolutely nothing for me. I've called Samsung the last 4 consecutive days. Every time I called them about those issues they don't tell me yes, no, maybe, I don't know. They simply just want me to send them the phone. Today though I was able to get somebody show me the wanted to use my phone to figure out the problem because they claim they never heard about this. Even though all over the internet people are talking about this comma and even one Samsung representative confirmed she personally dealt with it on the phone last week.

What's going on with my Wi-Fi is that it connect to any network, the transparent box shows up and everything letting me know that is connected. 10 seconds later the transparent box comes again and tells me that network has been disconnected. And it repeats that non stop. This also happened across the 3 devices I've had. I'm not the only one to have the Wi-Fi issue, a simple Google search of this would indicate that. Even customer of other carriers such as AT&T, Verizon and my carrier T-Mobile are complaining about this as well. Like when I talk to Samsung I'm talking to a brick wall. I'm honestly about to return the phone and ask for a complete refund if I don't get an answer other than sending my phone in!

Thank you soooo much!!!!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bigj0110:
This issue is still an ongoing issue for me. Every so often randomly, I would have to go into the settings like it's described here and turn off Bixby voice to text in the OS setting. For some reason Google Voice to Text can't seem to stay on without Bixby voice to text turning itself back on in the settings. Which then, even though Google voice to text is still on, Bixby voice to text overrides that, once it's turned on.

I reported this to Samsung like a month or 2 ago. All they want me to do is send in my phone, and remain without a phone for 2 weeks minimum(which I'm refusing to do). They claim there's nothing else they can do to help me, other than that.

I mean I'm getting upset, because I spend a lot of money on the device and I'm still having issues with this, and the Wi-Fi issue I stated above. Even after 3 exchange devices the same exact issues are occurring.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] rltr10m:
To bigj0110 - I can't thank you enough! I just got my S8 a couple days ago, and I hate the Samsung voice input. I couldn't figure out how to make it go away, and I thought I was stuck with it. Your suggestion worked! I'm so happy to have Google voice input back! You made me a very happy woman! Thanks! Jo Ann

What sd card to use ??

SD - CARD SELECTION / PURCHASING GUIDE​

STEP #1 GET THE BEST SD CARD YOU CAN

Since we are booting and running Android with the SD - Card a fast card is required. The card pictured is rated at

Please make sure that the SD Card you use has V30 or V60 or V90 on it. (See the pic below.)

Transfer speeds of up to 95 MB/s

Class 10, UHS speed class 3 (U3) and video speed class 30 (V30) ratings

The fastest cards on the market​

WITH A CARD LIKE THIS YOUR DEVICE WILL RUN LIKE THE WIND ( THIS CARD HAS READ WRITE SPEEDS = TO THE INTERNAL EMMC )

https://www.amazon.com/Lexar-Profes...3212586&sr=8-13&keywords=UHS+ii+micro+sd+card

High-speed performance - leverages UHS-II technology (U3) for a read transfer speed up to 1800x (270MB/s)

​

Please note that I have not tested cards greater than 32GB. Anything greater than 32GB may need extra work to make operational.

Ultimately I plan to run a 128GB card with the capability of booting and running linux on The Phone. :victory:
[HTC Desire 526] BigCountry907:
How to make the card

Flashing the Image file to the SD-Card​

STEP #1 Download and install Win32DiskImager

Program info -->> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Win32DiskImager

Program Download -->> https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

STEP #2 Download the SD-Card Image and unzip the file

http://www.mediafire.com/file/c2h48ksguo2m8ja/HTC-526-Boot.zip

A) Put the SD Card in your computer. USB or standard Card Reader is Fine.

B) Open Win32DiskImager (SEE Screen shot below for Use)

C) Click on write and select YES at the warning. The SD Card will be made

THE BURN PROCESS AFTER COMPLETED

AFTER YOU HAVE USED DISK IMAGER TO MAKE THE CARD IF YOU RE-INSERT THE CARD IN WINDOWS IT WILL TELL YOU YOU NEED TO FORMAT IT. DO NOT FORMAT IT. WINDOWS CAN NOT READ THIS DISK PROPERLY. LINUX / UBUNTU CAN PROPERLY MOUNT / READ THE DISK.

Very nice [MENTION=7006025]BigCountry907[/MENTION] ! Your work is really appreciated and I'm glad to see this here ;)

Just wondering which FIsH version do you use now? I have released a recent new one a while ago which should improve speed in many ways.. hopefully for your approach as well.

.
[HTC Desire 526] BigCountry907:
[MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION]

I'm running the original release of FisH.

FisH will boot up faster than 5 min at times. But it depends on the SD Card Speed and other things.

During my test what i found was if I got in a hurry and didn't give enough time occasionally some things would not fully initialize.

Giving enough time for everything to initialize, always worked.

Thanks again for your work [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] .

Since you have released an updated version I will try it out.

This is one of the many benefits of the booting SD card. :o

All I have to do is pull the card out of the device and pop it in the computer running linux to have direct access to any of the partitions in my file explorer.

[HTC Desire 526] BigCountry907:
Possible Port to Other Devices

[MENTION=8300845]Tonyg27[/MENTION]

This is an interesting question ? There is some testing going on with other devices.

This image is good for the desire 526 ( FULL BOOT TO SYSTEM )

The image created for the 526 boot loader unlock will not produce a system boot but it will work in multiple devices to unlock the boot loader. This has been tested on a desire 526 desire 626s and a desire 530.

Confirmed working !

So heres the catch. All 3 of those / 526 626s and 530 are all msm8909 chipsets.

And they are all HTC.

[MENTION=6979267]nailyk[/MENTION]

Has reported to see minor differences in a Super-Soft Brick on a sony Xperia. -->> Bricked with no Signs of Life

There are many other reports of individuals running bricked devices simply by using a similar sd card method.

The common denominator is that they are all MSM -->> Qualcomm Chip Sets.

Depending on how the manufacturer compiled your aboot... Little Kernel

The Qualcomm chipset supports this by default provided the vendor like HTC or Sony or LG has not turned it off.

Now if you can run unsigned " Patched or Compiled " Aboot == Little Kernel then you can do this.

Normally or by default Q-comm has Little Kernel built so that if the device internal emmc dies hen it will boot the external sd card provided that the proper GPT and Partition Images exsist on the SD Card.

I believe this is a QComm alternative for the partition.xml and firehose.

Hard to say.

I am currently testing this with a couple lg devices.

I am positive that the same method to create the sd card could be used to create cards for other devices.

It will take porting and some work.

I will post a Universal tutorial in the dev section soon.:cowboy:
[HTC Desire 526] nailyk:
Many thanks.

I think the sdcard trick could work on Sony's too. I scheduled to work on this this weekend.

I will first try hammerhead (nexus 5) aboot and all partitions (except LCD panels and some other things device wont care to boot) they are the same device (same soc, same usb, same memory chip, etc...) so I have a bit of hope.

Then I will try your patched aboot + s1. If am able to build that aboot, maybe I should be able to customize it to fit Sony's cr*p requirements.

Making this Sony compatible will be pleasant for a lot of people ;)

Anyway thanks a lot for the trick and keep up the good work :good:

I've had a S-835 and two Exynos and none performed like your videos. But I never recorded them in slow motion either.

[BlackBerry Priv] chief1983:
So, for some time now (basically since I started my current job) I've been aware of a potential security issue on my Priv. It's an AT&T with the most up to date firmware they've pushed, none of the updates have seemed to address it, although I am seeing it less often now.

Everyone's familiar with the Wi-Fi prompts that some businesses, etc use to allow access right? The web-page based ones that hijack your DNS until you log in. My company uses one, and every morning I have to re-authenticate using my company credentials with it.

The bug I have seen is, after hitting the Login button (having left my cursor in the password field), at some point later in the day, I will open Voxer, Messenger, Chrome, etc, and when I go to start typing in a text field, my password I typed earlier is in that text field already. WTF? This has to be one of the most egregious security bugs I've ever seen, the fact that a password I typed is just floating around in memory between apps like that, and it has yet to be completely fixed it seems like. I have implemented a workaround in which I move the cursor to the username field before I hit login, but I don't think this bug is limited to just this one style of prompt either. I still occasionally see my username sitting in a text field of an app I was about to type something in.

Has anyone else seen this behavior or know of a way to correctly address it? Expected better from a device touting its enhanced security.

I actually don't know if this involves the device's 'clipboard' or not, I haven't attempt to see if I can paste the last field I had highlighted manually into another app. But auto-copying a password field to the clipboard seems like a terrible idea if that's the case, and if it's not then how else is data from one app's text field getting floated around the device like that?

Well its that time of the year. My ATT contract just expired and I'm due for a new phone!

I was wondering about the Kaiser's media playback. I would really like my next phone to have strong video and audio playback.

I was considering the iPhone, but the lack of necessary features turned me off. I know it is great for media, but that phone is just NOT for me.

I would like your comments on the Kaiser's video/audio playback. Also, what 3rd party apps are you using for your video/audio?

Finally, I was wondering if the Kaiser was for me. Should I wait for another phone with good media playback, or should i jump on the Kaiser. I'm really into phone customization (my current phone is modded up the butthole, both software and hardware) and I know just by browsing through this forum that the Kaiser offers plenty of customization.

I have about a week to decide, so no rush. I would like some honest, well written, feedback. THANKS!!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] undac:
Does it play normal TV shows encoded in XviD without hiccups as well?

The whole point of having a media eccelerating processor for me is that I don't have to worry about reencoding stuff. With the Kaiser I have to in order to maintain smooth playback.
