If it's Kodi related then your best bet for backups & restores to multiple devices is:

https://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/themes-apps/adblink-v2-04-t3389826

Also great for uploading multiple files too.

As for repos updating or not. Your best bet would be to just use the best build out there for most instances. Go to FireTVGuru.net for more info.

Apps2Fire [Original] is the best phone solution. You can also get it @ APKPure.com or APKMirror.com . Also if you have ES File Explorer on your phone & FireTV device. Then that can be used to move files between devices too.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] kdskamal:
I'm thinking of deconverging myself to two devices. I currently use my htc herald as my daily driver. I need to read a lot thesedays, so, small screen is not going nice for me. I'll be using athena as a standalone, non-connected device. I also have nuts on the newly released ipaq 210. Since, athena has 8GB HDD, it would be great to store my PDFs and movies.

The only thing that bugs me about athena is its magnet thing. I've head that it can destroy/format HDDs of laptops; discharge the parking cards(magnetic ones) etc. Is there anyway to stop this?

Also, putting it in its factory case removes the magnetic effect?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ice_coffee:
no the factory case is not also magnetised, without the phone being in it
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] boinger66:
the keyboard is the only magnetic part...

if dont use the keyboard you have nothing to worry about
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] kdskamal:
So, the main unit does not have magnets..right? :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
No,that's not correct.The main unit does have magnet. It's even labelled on the bottom of the unit itself.

However, I've never found it to be an issue.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] kdskamal:
so the reports making the parking lot cards and formatting the HDDs are fake? hmm.. athena here i come :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
I won't discount those report. I carry it without keyboard with a belt pouch. Therefore it never had a chance to come into contact with credit cards and parking tickets.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] juiceppc:
I've heard that the keyboard's magnet is much stronger than the magnet in the device. FWIW.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
Just tested it, and I can confirm that the keyboard magnet is very much stronger than the device's.

I will test a parking ticket with just the magnet device and try to deliberately wipe out its data later and report the result later.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] juiceppc:
I too am a little concerned about the magnet but don't see myself carrying around that keyboard since it makes it bigger. Also the screen on the Advantage is so big using a on screen keyboard like PCM should be fine. No?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
Using on-screen keyboard works better for me. As long you choose the on screen keyboard wisely, you should have enough real estate left to still see what you're doing. I stay away from the full screen keyboard of course. Very large ones like Finger Touch, the iphone skin of Resco, Tengo Thumbs Touch Pal, are all too big. I use Resco default skin and Tengo Nano.

Without the keyboard, tt's easire to slot this GPS into my device holder in the car without case and keyboard.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eagle 1:
I did test it on a parking card and yes, the parking card now does not work. So, I took my associates employee badge (with magnetic strip), Put the keyboard on it for about a half hour...Now he needs another badge...So the keyboard must have a strong magnet. Although, I carry my athena on my side in a carrying case right next to my wallet and have never had any problems with my credit cards, etc...So ican it needs direct contact for a while, not the occasional wave over, etc....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] juiceppc:
Holy ****! Can you do a test on the magnets on the device?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] kdskamal:
OMG, what in the hell were the engineers at HTC thinking while designing athena?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] juiceppc:
I know. The lack of an earpiece and the implementation of those magnets keeps this from being the "perfect" device IMHO.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eagle 1:
I really don't think there is anything wrong with the Athena Magnets. I have had mine for many months, and have never accidently had any issues due to the magnets. Yes, I have used them intentionally to try and mess up parking cards, employee badges, etc. but overall, seems to work well to attach the keyboard. ANd a lot of pouches and cases have used magnets for years.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] chtan:
Destroying card info. yes but not strong enough to wipe out the hard drive. Just in case you are wondering there is huge magnet motor reside in your hard drive.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] kdskamal:
May be some of the parking cards are more fragile to magnets then ;)

But now atleast I'm less worried about the magnets

PS: the earpiece thing aint going to bother me. I'll be buying myself a SE K850i for tele communications :)

Any one have clear instructions for me from the begining to end please?

I had searched the net and find some instructions which didnt worked for me,

Only I could do until now to unlock the bootloader with the adb command "fastboot oem unlock"

Now when I power on the phone there are small sentences at the begining that saying "phone is unlocked and not turstable any more" which I am thinking that its unloacked . right?

So As I read now I have to install a recovery,( all the threads that I read are suggesting twrp recovery)

Or anything you can suggest and how to correctly install it please..

As follows I have to install the supersu as well by recovery. Please explain the process for this as well,

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .reported:
Hello,

I have a big problem, i'm fairly experienced with phone and technology and have done my fair share of phone fixing and flashing ROMs on phones. Now today my moms old galaxy phone broke (GT-I8262), the phone couldn't boot into android, i tried to wipe cache didn't work, did a factory reset that also didn't work, So i went to the samsung site and download the stock rom, odin and all the tools i need, installed drivers. I started the flashing process when suddenly the phone lost connection to the PC, ofc i know that this is really bad and thought i could reset the process and flash the ROM (I was wrong).

Now im stuck with the phone not being able to be recognized by my PC whenever i plug it in, When i try to boot into recovery mode i get the message (firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again), I cannot use kies or odin to flash the Phone cuz windows will just not recognize it, i need help since my mom does not have the money or wants to buy a new phone.

Thanks to everyone in advance.

After updating to android 6.0 I can't connect to any 2.4ghz network.

I have a dual band ac router at home, I can connect to 5ghz network but not to the 2.4ghz one .

I tried a lot of routers , i tried factory rest, plane mode on/off , selecting only 2.4 frequency in wi fi frequency band option, I changed phone name in wi-fi direct

Nothing helps

PLEASE HELP
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
So much information is missing.

Custom ROM or stock would be a good place to start.

If custom ROM, then what ROM?

You updated your firmware how?

Also, providing the results of fastboot getvar all would help. Remove your IMEI and serial# before you post it for your own security. (actually the serial# isn't too important, but it's best to remove it anyway)

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Weird, 2.4 Ghz was all I was using my M8 on for WiFi, for the longest time. Until my trusty old Linksys WRT54G router (2.4 GHz) died a few months ago. Then I was using my cable provider's (Comcast) router which is dual frequency, and I think the M8 was working on both 2.4 and 5 GHz.

The fact you fully converted by RUU would mostly remove the firmware or ROM as the culprit.

How many routers have you actually tried? Is security enabled? If so, which type (WEP, WPA, WPA2). Maybe try swapping WPA and WPA2, and see if that helps. WEP isn't recommended (outdated and too vulnerable) and I believe the M8 is known to have some problems with WEP.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] crippenx:
Is anyone having any problems playing games with this tablet? I purchased it last week to replace a lost Pixel-C and the game I'm playing (Dawn of Titans) is lagging terribly. It was very snappy on the Pixel, and I would have thought the Tab S3 would at least match the performance of a 2-yr old tablet ...

I've installed GameBench to record game activity and frame-rates and the avg FR is 11 ... ?!

Do I have a dud or is the snap dragon 820/Adrena 530 combo not geared towards gaming?

Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] lyall29:
I just purchased the Tab S3 yesterday and I'm not at all impressed. For a $600 tablet, this thing is garbage. The only reason I'm considering keeping it is because I got it for $450 (Open-Box at Best Buy). But even $450 seems high to me. This tablet is very laggy and scrolling through YouTube is horrendous. I don't game, but I can tell just from using this tablet for browsing the web and watching YouTube, it won't perform well with games. I'm trying a factory reset now, but if it doesn't get better I'm taking it back to Best Buy.

Edit...After the factory reset the performance may be marginally better. It's still not close to the iPad pro 10.5. But, because the screen is very nice for watching videos and it was $200 less than the iPad, I think I'm going to return the iPad and keep the tab s3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] nxss4:
BOOTLOOP --> unlocked edge plus (G928F) firmware on a at&t edge plus (G928A) ?

hey guys,

My brothers unrooted at&t s6 edge+ (SM-G928A) entered an infinite bootloop on at&t's crappy software. We live in europe, so we can't get a replacement or get it fixed, even thought it's still eligible for warranty.

It started bootlooping again today after doing a factory data reset and manually installing last month's security updates :(

I read somewhere it's impossible to install the G928F's stock firmware or any other rom made for the unlocked s6 edge+ on the at&t edge plus.

Is this true?

If so, why? The hardware should be exactly the same (except maybe for some bands missing), right?

In the past I have flashed stock firmware on various samsung phones bloated by carriers, so I don't get why it wouldn't be possible now.

Thanks in advance!!

PS: I'm quite experienced when it comes to rooting, flashing and modding. So by installing a new rom I mean through a custom recovery. I understand it's not possible to install G928F firmware on a G928A via odin, as the model numbers aren't matching.

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] namartlu:
Just returned the OP5, it's nice and all but I got a weird issue with the Wifi hotspot, which is a deal breaker for me.

Then saw the U11 Solar Red and also $50 discount going on, so pull the trigger... I have read good thing about U11's battery life and camera, and I am eager to try out the Edge Sense feature. I want a quick way to launch the camera and am used to Motorola's quick capture (double-twist to launch camera) feature. I think Nougat's double-press power to launch camera is not fast enough. I always have to struggle to reach the power button! So, hopefully Edge sense would be as quick as Motorola's quick capture.

The missing of the 3.5 audio jack is a small issue, I want to be able to charge and listen to radio at bed time. There should be adapter out there to use the port for both at the same time?

Also, saw the screen is polarized, so with polarized sunglasses and phone in landscape mode, won't be able to see anything. That reminds me of my Nexus 5... A little inconvenience...

The memory size (4GB) is half of OP5's 8GB, do you think long term wise it would be an issue - with new updates and stuff, the OS and apps being more memory hungry by the days...

Anyway, really excited now. :)
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] solver404:
My U11 does not react to polarized sunglasses in either orientation, which surprises me greatly. I was extremely happy to find this because I am outside with sunglasses on constantly. Outdoor visibility with and without glasses is a very important factor to me and I can count on one hand or less the other devices out of the 30 or so I have used that were substantially better than this.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flynnchen82:
Although i have read different experience same for me. Tried with a Rayban from a collegue and it still worked fine. But maybe there are more panels out there (like with the 10)?

Memory: On the long term maybe it will have to reload some apps (which is pretty fast). The question is also how many years you want to use it and if you are a heavy multitasker. So decide yourself if that might be a problem. Today i would see it on par with other flagships. The memory wouldnt be a point to buy the OP5 for me.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] namartlu:
That would be nice if it's not a problem! I still remembered I got puzzled when I was using my N5 to take a video and the screen appeared to go blank.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Conan1986:
Great choice, you're gonna love the solar red U11.

As of now, there's no adaptor available which supports charging and audio output at the same time. This is because the adaptor which the U11 uses actually has a DAC and not just a signal converter. I'm ok with that since it is giving good audio quality, and charging is really fast.

Edge sense is awesome. To me, the biggest benefit comes with being able to squeeze to snap, no need to stretch for the on screen or volume shutter button. Just one thing to note, the camera does have a delay of about 0.5secs after you squeeze to prevent movement from the squeeze itself.

The screen does turn a little darker in landscape mode, but not totally black, so you should be able work with it with polarized glasses on.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] namartlu:
Unfortunately I was told by support that it won't ship until 2nd week of July and I don't wanna wait, so I go ahead to order the silver one and cancel the red one. I want to try the phone and see if I wanna keep it, if so, I may still return the silver and then get the red one... The reason I do all this is because I will be out of country for the whole of August, so I want to try out the phone asap.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Conan1986:
Yea, the red version is still a "pre-order" so there's a risk of being delayed anyway. I personally like the silver one very much as it's actually light blue most of the time. Red will be outstanding in a way that it will be screaming out for attention, which doesn't suit everybody's taste. Do update after having experienced the phone
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] namartlu:
Turned out they didn't cancel my solar red order, well I'll leave it like that, see which color I like and return the other one.
