[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] qtpcert:
I tried to upgrade my Kindle Fire HD with the cm13 builds, but due to some reason it went to a loop where in it starts and then "Kindle Fire" logo appears and then it going in a loop again and again.

Post that I bought a Fastboot cable from Amazon thinking it will give me a solution as described in few other threads.

I connected the fastboot cable , it went into fastboot mode and then nothing happens.

Then i tried to use kindle Unbrick utility 1.1 version and tried to recover my kindle.

But to my surprise what it does is something I am not able to get rid off.

Now when I tries to start my kindle ..."Kindle Fire" screen appears once then I can see the "Fastboot logo" for few seconds........And then it went to black screen again and i cannot see anything.

Please experts whom so ever can throw some light on it...please do so as I want to recover it back...

Thanks in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] Cronoss:
Is it possible to have 2 google play store accounts at the same time on 1 device?

So if I have updates to some apps purchases on either account they will both update automatically? Not having to log off and on each account?

The reason I'm asking is that I have 2 devices with purchased apps on different gmail accounts, but I would like to retire device #1 and merge all the apps on my 2nd device, but of course, purchases are tied to the email address.

Anyone know?
[General Questions and Answers] sd_shadow:
i have several google accounts on all my Android devices, different apps purchased on different accounts, works fine.
[General Questions and Answers] rezadh:
Yes it's possible. Fyi, you can use one Google account on many devices. No need to split it into different account for different device.

Hi guys

Is the GPS supposed to be on or off in Airplane mode? Mine seems to be on which seems odd to me. I have an app that just keeps using GPS even though it's closed and the phone is in airplane mode. I need it for work so I can't disable location access to it. Was hoping airplane mode would shut location off but it doesn't...

I'm on 4.5.10
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] pen²:
it's the same for me and it makes perfect sense. Airplane mode is meant to disable all communication that might interfere with the plane. GPS, however, is receiving only (and the satellite doesn't care if your device is listening or not), so there is no need to disable it as it cannot interfere with a plane.

If your requirement is to have gps disabled in some places, why don't you disable it? I mean you have to manually go into airplane mode anyway, so why not disable gps manually via quick settings in the notification bar and you're good?

im trying to port a rom from an mtk phone to my redmi note 4 Snapdragon so i want to know if its possible and what am i missing
[General Questions and Answers] rezadh:
You need identical hardware to do that. So, no it's not possible.
[General Questions and Answers] omarilzz:
oh man thanks for replying ^^ its just i had exynos samsung note 3 and when i used to try to port it reaches the boot screen animation and also a friend of mine ported flyme os from a snapdragon to exynos and booted no problems so i was curious about cross porting
[General Questions and Answers] Ahmed.Rajib:
Nothing is impossible in Android if architecture same. That's not matter mtk or qualcomm
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
This is the furthest from the truth. Porting from mtk (a joke of a chip maker) to snapdragon is not even remotely easy or worth it as there is underlying code that has to be changed for it to work properly. Other wise you get what you mentioned. A non booting screen. In best case you wind up with a rom that I wouldn't run on a toaster.

Hi,

I have some files in a folder in Amazon Drive. And I have published a sharing link for the folder.

I just wonder whether I can view downloading counts for the whole folder or for some file separately on my app or web of Amazon Drive. :confused:

Thank you in advance.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CyBeRDuDeDK:
Hi XDA developers..

I'm doing some programming and running into a problem...

I'm programming for WM6 for SmartPhone, preferably using .net, either VB.net or C#...

I'm looking for some code that can tell me the real status of activesync...

When I run Activesync, and tries to connect (Using bluetooth) my progam needs to respond to the status... If the connection succeds (Meaning that it could connect to to a Activesync Session on a pc), if synchronization is running, if syncronization is finished or if connection failed (There was no activesync connection available, no PC to connect to)...

So in general: I want the specific status of ActiveSync.

So far the only thing I've come by is the ActiveSyncStatus in the SmartPhone SDK

Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.SystemState.ActiveSyncStatus

I've tried setting up a Handler, and it works...

The problem is this crappy SDK doesn't give much response back.. :(

It never returns the Error code (2), as is written on MSDN.

It can only tell give back to responses "None" and "Synchronizing"...

If I try to make a connection and no pc is near, the handler is never triggered. If connection is ok it will change back and forth between "None" and "Synchronizing"... Which is terrible... I could come to the conclusing that upon succesfull connection and sync it would go Synchronizing->None->Synchronizing->None->Synchronizing->None.. I could probably count the time this takes, and check whether it gone through this sequences in a matter of this time, but this is a very unreliable and ugly way to solve this problem.

So I'm hoping someone has any other suggestion, or can lead me to where to look... The current SDK really sucks...

I guess it would be possible to use some native c++ code? But I'm not really into c++, but if you have some code in c++ you are very welcome to post that also...

Any help appriciated!

CyBeRDuDeDK
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mawin:
Hi CyBeRDuDeDK,

Any luck with your earlier question?.

I was trying to do very similar (c# to pass WM_COMMAND to activesync) and trying to research on this topic for few days now, as i want to send the commands only if activesync is not already connected, but there is no way to find out that.

The ActiveSyncStatus is for application level, that is why it shows only 3 values, not at connection level !.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ccube:
Did someone solve the problem.

I have to recognize if Active Sync connects to a Computer.

Im using a WinCE.NET device and Native C-API. But it should be the same on Windows Mobile.

Thanks in Advance,

ccube

Edit: I finally got it! :)

Every Window gets the Message 0x3FE (1022) if an Active Sync event occures.

wParam: 1 means connected

wParam: 0 means disconnected

I didnt find any documentation about this, so I'll give no guaranty, that it is working.

I got it working on a Windows.CE 4.x device.

On my Windows Mobile 6.1 Raphael, the Event doesn't occur. :(

Perhaps I can investigate, hot to get it running on WM6.1 if someone needs it! ;)

greetings,

ccube

Although having an unlocked bootloader is useful in many ways like flashing firmware (factory images), installing TWRP and getting root, but it can also lead to blocked services on your device due to security reasons and hence you you might want to relock bootloader to avail those services.

How to Relock Moto G5s Plus Bootloader

Things you need

Minimal ADB Size: 628.5KB

Moto G5s Plus Stock Rom Size: 1.7GB

Steps

Download Moto G5s Plus Stock Firmware from below (in download section).

Install Motorola Driver and ADB Fastboot Driver on your PC.

Now extract stock firmware in ADB Fastboot folder.

Now, turn off your device and boot into bootloader by pressing volume down button +power button simultaneously.

Now, connect your device to your PC via a USB Cable.

Open a command prompt window and type the following commands:

fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot oem lock

Then it will restart your Device. And You Will Get Locked Bootloader.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
Anyone notice that the alternate characters on the Samsung keyboard is slow to respond? It works fine, I just find myself having to long press longer to get the alternate character. Causes me to make mistake quite often.

My Note 5 & Note 2 werenxt (<- see) this slow to respond. Anyway to remedy this? I've been comparing with my Note 5 & on the Note 8 itxs definitely slower to respond.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Deleted member 7436581:
Yeah, it's pretty strange that Samsung doesn't include an option to adjust the response time like you can on third party keyboards. I'd suggest just trying out SwiftKey or others because it can definitely get annoying not getting the special key you want as fast as you want. Champagne problems, I know, but still. It's annoying, nonetheless.

EDIT: As you can see from the attached photo, SwiftKey (which I'm using) has this option but the stock Samsung keyboard does NOT offer it. Shame.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pool_shark:
Yeah, same here. I like the Samsung keyboard because when apply a theme the keyboard is included. However, the special character problem plus the auto correct being so bad, I may have to switch.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
Same here I like the Samsung keyboard because of it's features, the spen integration is the main one. Themes is also another.

I think I found a fix. Not sure if it's just in my head but it seems like it's ok now & I haven't made a mistake yet since the change. I disabled swipe to type. Well actually I changed it to cursor control, that's how I had it set on my N5. It makes sense as maybe the keyboard is sensing that you may be attemtping to swipe to type a word & causes the delay.

Now to fix my space bar issue but that's just me & my stubby thumb. I keep hitting letters or the period instead of the space bar. Same issue on my N5 & with the N8 being longer it's not helping in landscape mode. Tried changing the keyboard size but then all the letters are too far apart. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
The short spacebar on Samsung keyboards is the ONLY reason I have always used Gboard. Shame Samsung never revised it yet.

Like yourself I always hit period instead of space.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] nenitosoyyo:
I have had this phone for three months, and have taken care of the phone very carefully. Now this random dark spot appears on the none wide angle camera in photos and videos. I haven't done anything that I can think of that would cause this other than accepting this big update on my phone a week or so ago. Anyone know if it's defective, or something else like software? This is the Canadian Rogers LG G6 version. I love this phone and just got it no long ago... I have no idea what I should do, because it ruins certain videos or pictures now. Here's a video to show what I mean, https://youtu.be/31gP0E3hmwo
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] KingFatty:
Weird - did you take an extended video of the sun? Also, I'm sure you already have cleaned the camera glass many times, but when you clean it, did you look closely for anything out of the ordinary, maybe trapped between the outer glass and the inner lens?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] nenitosoyyo:
No, I always avoid getting the sun into my camera for the fear burning the lens. Only thing I can think of my lens getting a lot of light is when taking extreme zoom in pictures of leaves that were in the sun one of those zoom in clip on lenses. Though the camera was facing down on leaves and not towards the sun. [IMG="leaf"]http://i.imgur.com/SWeFNyl.jpg[/IMG] I will have to look at the lens again when cleaning, because I didn't notice anything before.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] nenitosoyyo:
I just did another test while looking for dust on the lens with a soft flashlight and this spot turned into something else. So confused, because I don't see anything when I look at it. Here I recorded it https://youtu.be/ujwJEvfcQ44

I think there is something between the lens and the sensor. I would send it to repair.

Is the "whats new" back when you swipe up from the bottom? Or are you just wanting to hide the app from the homescreen? (I remember when they added What's New to the swipe up on the Android 5.0 to the Z3C, but they removed that on Android 6.0 if I recall)

It's not coming up with a swipe from the bottom, but it can only be terminated and not uninstalled, neither disabled. With the command provided here (

) I confirm it can be disabled as it shows as "not installed for current user" afterwards.

I agree some more could be added to that list, like youtube app etc but thanks for the tip [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION], it worked!
