[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] seaston:
Same, I installed by sending the 3 apk files by Bluetooth. Then used the apkinstaller to install them. Only the SomcMirrorLinkServer-release.apk could not be installed. I have the menu option for mirror link, but I haven't tried connecting to a MirrorLink client yet. I think it will fail though, as you have already found.

Any ideas why the SomcMirrorLinkServer-release.apk will not install?

You need rooted phone and custom recovery (TWRP) to install (flash) zip files. There is no way if you have no root.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C5Pro:
I used flash tool to upgrade Oukitel C5 Pro (16GB ROM) from Android stock 6.0 to 7.0. Now when I go to settings - Storage Settings, it tells me 7.83 GB total used of 16.0 GB. When I go in for details I have 2.55 GB apps and the other items listed (images, videos, audio, other, cached data) are minimum.

Would just appreciate a confirmation that this is correct?, so I can continue setting up phone. I think I had a lot more free before the upgrade. Is about 5 GB correct for Android 7 to use. Maybe the extra partition for the seamless updates?

Or is there something hanging around from the upgrade?

I used "firmware update" and default options (all items ticked) in flash tool. I have tried a clear cache partition but made no difference.

(I asked in the device specific thread but there is not much traffic there.)

EDIT: Seems to be correct. Found an app that shows 3.78GB reserved for Android and 10.9 for apps and files giving a total of 14.68GB, which of course is 16GB unformatted.

[Samsung Gear VR] ballparkcy:
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the new Gear VR controller and a Note 4 ? I understand I may have to root my SM-N910C in order to temporarily modify the model version [to a Note 5] in order to pair/calibrate controller ?

If I have to choose this route [unless anyone knows a work around] I am having trouble finding recommended method on FW build MMB29K.N910CXXS2DQF2

Any help appreciated ! :)
[Samsung Gear VR] ballparkcy:
Solution !

I did find some info on this so here's how you fix this problem WITHOUT root.

Go find

com.samsung.android.app.vr.input.service_1.0.44-44_minAP121(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

or just look for Samsung gear vr input apk

Side load apk, you are then able to pair and calibrate ! This loop problem is ether intentional or a genuine bug.

Tested for a number of hours and works fine !
[Samsung Gear VR] DarkGuyver:
I would have imagined that the Gear VR Controlller would have worked perfectly fine with the Note 4. As long as you have bluetooth enabled.
[Samsung Gear VR] Tadukli:
Hello friends,

I tried the apk : com.samsung.android.app.vr.input.service_1.0.44-44_minAPI21(nodpi)_apkmirror.com

however my samsung note 4 (not rooted) is able to the gear vr controller, it can't appair to it.

I tried several time after rebooting my phone, I'm in the same situation

Any idea ?
[Samsung Gear VR] Adrian3650:
I think they have dropped the Gear VR Controller Support on the Note 4 completely. Now the "Controller" menu is completely missing from the Oculus VR settings "More" menu. I tried installing older versions of the input service "1.0.44" but that didn't bring the menu back.

Someone any idea how to fix this?

Theoretically the controller is compatible with the Note 4 so it is probably a commercial step why they removed it.

PS: I didn't try rooting my phone to change the ID to see if the "Controller" menu reappears.
[Samsung Gear VR] preslin:
I am rooted on a Sprint Note 4 (SM-N910P). A few months ago, I got it to work by doing the process https://www.reddit.com/r/GearVR/comments/67z5sd/will_the_controller_work_with_note_4/ It worked, but then one day the option for the controller was gone again and the controller would not work. Oculus app updates may have done it.

I just went in and changed back build.prop so that ro.product.model=SM-G935P so that it thinks it's a Sprint Galaxy S7 Edge. I rebooted, and now the Controller option in the menu is back. That is all I did. I'm not sure if I'll have any negative effects just leaving it as SM-G935P, but I'm going to try.
[Samsung Gear VR] preslin:
I tested VR and controller functionality after leaving it as SM-G935P, everything seems to work just fine.

Note 4 did not charge in previous editions of Gear Vr.
[Samsung Gear VR] roniboian:
Hi everyone! So glad I can contribute to XDA!

1st: size is key, sm325 note8 Gear VR is the only one I was able to use with space to fit the size of Note 4 & Note Edge (remember that one?).

Second, you want to use Nova launcher activities (google it) and something like Aptoide to download the following:

Oculus VR apks (Home, App framework, etc.) as many as possible

More important still : download apps of Samsung's "Gear VR" service, setup wizard, system, input service, etc.

No need to root.

Once downloaded, create activities in Nova launcher widget on touchwiz or direct on Nova or custom launcher. Create them esp for Input Service to pair that VR controller that's the best $30/30€ you'd ever spend...

Better news still, all this is DPI free so if like me you are using a low setting for extra space on your Note 4 screen esp with the docking station HDMI that gave us D'ex before Dex, it does not screw with your stock VR apps.
[Samsung Gear VR] wazzaman:
Hi roniboian

Could explain more precisely your trick?

it look excellent but don't understand how to get GEAR VR controller connected to note. 4
[Samsung Gear VR] SchoolHomeVR:
Hello, i joined just to ask you how to do what you describe above! You said you would be happy to contribute, that would be really great,.. What you have written is very vague, at XDA the best people tend to share complete info, Could you give actual steps by steps?

I can find any of the APKs at 'APKMirror' site, they have the gear vr service, oculus home, everything, for Many many back dates.

(but; any advice on which dates or which actual files? Ideally the most recent update where the motion controller still worked..)

Please explain this 'create activities in NOVA launcher widget' method. (I am hoping it means, the apk's will install without the 'automatic wifi method' which invariably gives the newest files...)

What do you mean by DPI free? Please explain the process. :)

Thanks for the hope!
[Samsung Gear VR] crewsro:
Yes, please explain in more detail. I am somewhat familiar with these sort of things and moderately comfortable messing around with stuff. I currently don't have a PC or easy access to one so I'm sure rooting my Note 4 is out of the question. That's why I've restarted my seach for a workaround to get the gear vr controller working with my Note 4 and corresponding headset. When I bought the controller a few months ago, I couldn't find anything reliable without root. This was the first place I came to so my hope is that this thread was abandoned b/c some of your brilliant minds have come up simple and successful patch. I have my fingers crossed, I'm getting kinda tired of using my steel series controller. Thanks everyone
[Samsung Gear VR] Blahblahblah2:
Hi I can help. I started this thread, but XDA Password recovery can takes hours, even days or infinity now, since the link they send for password recovery, opens a random page, that has nothing to do with password recovery... I have never once gotten any help here with anything, ever, so I don't care enough to bother logging in anymore... BUT:

I have the Motion Controller working on my Note 4 in a limited fashion. You need to go to APKMirror (just Google 'download Gear VR Apk'... As you should have to begin with.) Download all the early APKs, one in each category, uninstall your gear software, and such, reinstall each apk (about 8 I believe) until it works. I remember centering around the earliest 'APRIL' Updates. You can run a LOT of apps with the controller, but not any new or newer apps. Im at: NextWorldVR (@) gmail.com if you need more help. The guy above will never answer you, this place is a bit of an elitist joke, I just figure out everything on my own now rather than bolster their tiny weaning toddler egos...
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
Initial review and comparison after 1 day.

I am a self certified phone junky and a proud dad and here is my initial review and comparison between the OnePlus 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S8,

Design.

Well this one is a no brainer the Samsung Galaxy S8 makes the OnePlus 5 look dated even though both of the screens are excellent in terms of contrast, viewing in direct sunlight the curved edges and form factor are a massive win for me with the Samsung.

Win Samsung Galaxy S8

Build Quality

Both phones are superbly built I was very apprehensive about the OnePlus 5 due to hearing lots of horror stories about the fit and finish of the product and luckily enough mine is free of any of these defects.

Win Samsung Galaxy S8 and OnePlus 5

Features

The stock OOS has some very nice features such as gesture support, remapping the capacitive buttons to perform other functions and is very well laid out and easy to find what you need.

The Samsung is well a complete mess way too many options in way too many categories and you have to search to find anything as it can be buried very deep.

The vast majority of the features on the Galaxy S8 I do not use nor care for basically.

Win OnePlus 5

Camera

This is a big one after reading review after review I did not have very high expectations of the OnePlus 5 specially when compared to my other phone the Samsung Galaxy S8.

However until you zoom in the photo’s actually look pretty good as long as you use HQ or Pro mode (the HDR modes are very poor)

I am definitely not a camera expert and what makes a good camera for me is can it take a “Clear Photo” of my manic 4 year old daughter without any motion blur or other artifacts.

The camera on the Galaxy S8 is much better you can rely on this to take excellent photos every time you want to use it and even when zoomed in the photo’s remain clear, crisp with no water color effect which the OnePlus 5 has.

Win Samsung Galaxy S8

Performance.

This is very easy for me to state the OnePlus 5 is one of the fastest phones I have ever owned and it has none of the lag or stutter of the Galaxy S8 (why oh why with so much power under the hood does the S8 have stutters in the UI)

Easy victory for the OnePlus 5
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] s3axel:
Thanks for your summary which in many aspects copies my own experience (presently have both and have to decide which to keep).

I'm still looking for a good camera app from playstore to copy the excellent image processing of the Samsung camera app.

To add to the points above: from my comparison the OP5 is vastly superior in GPS reception to my (Eynos) S8 !
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] caki25:
Try Cameringo+, that has some good processing ...
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] atistang:
So how did the OP5 do at photos of your 4 year old? I have a 1yr and 5yr old and have the same struggles to get clear shots.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
It did ok although not as life like as the S8.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] atistang:
Looks like it focused good though. Was that HQ or HDR? I've read recently that the OP5 seems to have sharper pictures in HQ mode.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
I think they where all in HQ
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] bricky23:
Oh she's adorable! So cute. I'm no photographer, but the picture quality looks good to me.

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] NaviPR:
Hello,

it seems that there is a problem with the Netflix app on MTCD units.

Android 5.1 Quad Core - apparently you can install and enter the app, but can't play any video materials.

Android 6.0.1 Octa Core - unable to install the app via Play Store (can't even see the Play Store entry for Netflix); sideloading the application from APKMirror.com gives the error that the app is not compatible with the device. Netflix then redirects to their own site which mentions downloading another apk straight from them - this one just bugs out 4-5 times before stopping completely.

This happens both in factory ROMs and the [MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION] ROM.

My theory is that I would need to somehow make Netflix think that it is being installed on a smartphone, like a Samsung Galaxy or a Sony Xperia.

How can I go about posing the headunit as a phone? Is such a thing even possible?

Netflix WILL NOT show video on my Jeep Headunit!

I have a Uconnect Head unit in my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee (It's actually the UAQ unit (2018 model)) and I have tried to play Netflix content to the head unit via Android Auto (Newest version in Play store) and AA Unlock and AA Mirror. I have used two devices which I describe below, but can not get video overlay to work. When I start Netflix on those two devices below, I see the menu, I can login, I see movie and tv selections, but when I start to play the movie, all I can see are the controls for the video. (volume, progression slider, etc.) but NOT the video itself. I can hear it. It shows fine on the two devices, but when linked via USB cable to Android Auto on the head unit. NO video. Amazon Prime video works fine, as does the DirecTV app, my plex app and others.

My two devices are:

A Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7" (Sprint version) running Lineage OS 14.1, unlocked and rooted. I am running AA Unlock, AA Mirror and the current version on Android Auto from the play store.

A Samsung Galaxy S5 (Verizon UNLOCKED) with Lollipop (Android 5.0) and rooted. I am running AA Unlock, AA Mirror and the current version on Android Auto from the play store.

BOTH will not play Netflix videos when connected. I can see the movie playing on both screens of the devices, but not to the head unit. I have tried different versions of Netflix (both from the play store and from direct downloads of the .apk). Nothing seems to work.

Some say that the Custom ROM is the problem, some say that the devices being rooted is the problem, but neither works.

Ideas?

You need that phone to add it to the device list. Go to the service center and get it back to stock ROM for free(if you have an existing warranty).

I did that ytd. As my phone is a china export model, svc ctr does not have the ROMs to flash it, and Xiaomi doesn't allow them to service export models, so the guy said.

Juz curious, could Xiaomi update the mi acc using some internal software that do not need the actual device to bind the acc?

They are not so stupid as to lock themselves out without a loophole somewhere to gain entry back to their security procedure.

Any suggestions on how to unlock bootloader without waiting for official permission?

Thks
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers] william.johhn7!:
Since you can access fastboot, try to flash stable rom with miflash tool. You can find the flashing guide in the miui website under downloads. I don't think you need an unlocked bootloader to flash the stable rom(not developer rom).
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers] Nike Lee:
ok, thks. Right now, I have returned the MM2 to the shop. They have their own technicians to trouble-shoot. If they give up by early next week, I'll have it back to try. Will read up the flashing guide first..

Cheers

---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

I juz had a quick look at the flashing guide under "fastboot" method since my MM2 is in bootloop and fastboot & recovery are the options left.

By the way, "recovery" option is no go because MM2 is on mi-recovery 3.0 and the 3rd choice in the Main Menu is "connect to Mi assistant"...is this the mi pc suite or something else?

What is shown in the flashing guide is "mi-recovery 2.0.1" under images. It seems the older version 2.0.1 has more/better options than the newer one 3.0...

Fastboot mode is also a dead end -

★ Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Latest China Stable Version Fastboot File Download

★ Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Latest China Developer Version Fastboot File Download

★ Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download

Those with black stars are locked so I need to apply for unlock with the Xiaomi folks...

Would appr your advice.

Rgds

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

The last part of the guide -

If the flashing guide could not help you, please download Mi PC Suite here

(After Mi PC Suite is installed, make sure that your phone is in fastboot mode, connect your phone to a computer, and select the correct ROM file to flash)

I tried the mi pc suite umpteen times. My MM2 was on fastboot connected to my pc via usb cable, pc suite said "connect under normal mode before switch"

What it probably meant was - connect the MM2 with miui running before switching to fastboot. I hope my interpretation was wrong because my MM2 is in endless bootloop and cldn't start up to miui level. So mi pc suite won't help?
