[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gonkulor:
Would someone be so kind and help me to stop this annoyance. I have a Gen 1 AFTV box. Fire OS 5.2.6.2 (587700720). Twrp version 3.0.0.7

The whole problem is always finding the AFTV on the Twrp menu screen after returning to it after some time.

When I reboot and see the boot menu, the boot menu always has "boot normally" highlighted and a normal boot process happens. It appears to me there is a download in the system which gets scheduled for install and on boot the system gets put into recovery mode and the update doesn't go into effect.

So here is my question. How can I make this update go through? I have done all the network command statements into my router. I have ran commands through ADB. I can delete the download but it just keeps coming back.

How can I install the update through TWRP. I don't care if I lose the unlock bootloader and all that. This issue is no big deal for me but my wife . . . Oh gawd. Please help. Happy wife, happy life. She can't use the box if it is on the recovery menu.

Please help.View attachment 4524977View attachment 4524978
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sconnyuk:
This is a safety process with TWRP if i understand correctly, it wont let the system update and wipe your root/TWRP out.

Why would you want to lose Root/TWRP ? these Amazon Fire devices are no longer rootable with current firmware.

To have one is getting more rare everyday.

I seen a Gen2 box for sale for £180 UK on ebay a few days ago.

You would be much better off keeping root/TWRP but disabling updates, using this guide:

http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-block-software-updates-on-the-amazon-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick/

Basically doing the following:

Your Fire TV must be rooted. Otherwise, use one of the other methods to block software updates.

Connect to your Fire TV via ADB

Run the command: adb shell

Run the command: su

(Be sure to select “Grant” if your Fire TV prompts you for superuser access.)

For Fire OS 5 (version 5.0.0 and up), run the command:

pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota

This should sort out the issue of the FireTV idling then deciding to try and update, bringing you to the TWRP screen.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gonkulor:
Thank you sconnyuk. I thought this would be the recommended action. *SIGH. LOL

I swear I have done this multiple times but it is easy and needs done before moving forward, and maybe I'm not as smart as I think I am and this will be the fix.

Also, being I had considered this box dead (past posts) and moved on by buying new. It is nice having old school V.1 [emoji3] v

Thanks for responding and popping me into gear. I'll know soon enough if it works.

Best regards
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gonkulor:
Yeah, that was the fix. I had done this in the past but apparently not recently enough.

Moral to this: sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and admit you didn't follow all how-to's from the beginning.

Consider this matter closed. Thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouneh:
i had my firetv 2 box doing this exact same thing around the time of the 5.2.6.3 OTA they were sending out, it had a message and countdown timer (60 seconds) that would pop up often and if not interacted with it would attempt to upgrade. of course i didnt initially notice the message due to it stalling via TWRP.

in device settings it did pass a version check that i had disabled, something re-enabled it. i disabled it again and it has remained disabled since. just goes to show amazon can control things via their unknown services...

enforcing firmware flashing is never a good idea, who is at fault if the owner removes power from the firetv but hadnt seen its message?

Hi there !

I have an Artemis running latest Meschle Artemis Touch rom (Thanks again for the amazing work Meschle !) and I just suscribed to an Internet/email option on my phone.

The problem is that this option is limited to 10mb for SMTP, POP et IMAP4 protocols and I reach this limit very quickly.

Does anyone know a way to collect my emails (from different email accounts) on my phone bypassing these limits ( I mean other than checking my mails from the phone browser ) ? Basically, I want to find a way to collect/send emails from different accounts not using the POP/SMTP/IMAP protocols from my phone.

I thought about mail2web but it seems that mail2web is using POP protocol to send mails to the phone...

Thanks for your help !

:)
[Networking] sebastientoussaint:
Hello,

You can use an Microsft Exchange server. It's use https protocol.

Have a look to 1and1.com solutions ;-)
[Networking] Jimmytherat:
merci pour l'info sebastien !

I think I found a solution setting up a mail2web account. Looks like active sync is not using a POP or IMAP protocol to synchronize mails between your mail2web mail box and your phone...Looks like it is just recognized as a web connection for my phone provider, cool !

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mango Polo:
Ok, I wrote also in other threads but haven't been asnwered at all. I have a Snapdragon 435 device from Xiaomi and a high end sensor of the front camera! An OV5675 Omnivision 5 mpx. My problem is devided into two parts. The main part is that I can take extremely high quality pictures with Google Camera, even if the preview image is a very bad one even with camera2api activated, blury and low on framerate ( abou10-12 if high brighness and smoother if I lower the lights of the sensor when simply opening the camera app and not taking pics ) . When it comes to make a video call, in any app like Duo, Whatsapp etc .... The quality of the preview AND of the call is awful! It is vey blury and low fps, just like in the cheap stock camera viewfinder ( preview mode) . I want to understand, is this limited by the software or it is because the hardware is low end?

I will tell you why I am so concerned of this question - When I open the camera app and switch to the video, I get a very cool FPS on the preview ( not when recording, just the preview viewfinder ) and the image is very clear, not blury. When I switch back to the photo camera, the fps of the preview goes down and the image becomes blury and awful ( even in the Google Camera, even in the stock camera) but when I take a picture in any of these, I get clear images in both.

So! Let's go to the point - The quality of the video call in any of the apps, is the same as in the camera preview mode of the photo mode ( in the viewfinder ). How do I comunicate to these 3rd party apps to use the camera mode/ sensor of the video preview mode? How to make the image durinng a video call be clear and not blury like in the photo preview state? The app code should be edited or the rom?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] zvioocge:
Hello, Moto g5 plus xda!

I have AMAZON moto g5 plus, which was able to have bootloader unlocked from motorolas website, installed Pixelexperience yadayada.

Now I switched my carrier from att to sprint, and while phone calls and text messages work, datd does not, i called sprint countless times and it really does seem like there seems to be issue from my phones end.

To double check imei, i did *#06#, and now, instead of IMEI, it showing MEID, and it is same EXCEPT its like 1 digit in the end.

Also just to clarify, I have flashed stock amazon firmware now, so that's what I was talking about.

Oddly enough, if i go into settings>aboutphone>status>IMEI information, both IMEI and MEID show, and IMEI shows in full and MEID shows as IMEI except that last digit. Ideally, I would like to relock my bootloader and have phone return to fully stock. But when i try to re-lock bootloader via fastboot it says oem unlocking need to be enabled and its grayed out. If you guys could help me out that would be wonderful.

Thank you in advance.

Hey,

I could install Kitkat 4.4.2 EMUI 3.0: Cofface Custom Recovery, but could find any os what would install from zip. Getting error 7

today I tried to flash TWRP-3.0.2-r4 for the 4C. So I unlocked the bootloader flashed the new recovery img and then restarted and couldn't access the recovery menu. It freezes right at the Huawei logo.

Then I tried to flash the latest 4C android, so I extracted the boot.img, recovery.img and system.img from the update.app.

Flashing was successful I guess?

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] CleverFogs:
Does anyone know if it's possible to enable immersive mode on this phone without using root? Maybe a way to do it through ADB? :)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Indeed there is. SystemUI tuner does exactly that.

There are some ADB commands that enable the app, but then you're good be immersed.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] CleverFogs:
Thank you my friend this does the job perfectly :good:
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] arctophile:
Just a quick warning to the uninitiated like me who try this without doing enough reading - if you enable immersive mode without an exception for the lockscreen system app (com.sonyericsson.lockscreen.uxpnxt) via SystemUI Tuner's 'blacklist' functionality, you may find yourself unable to wake up the phone and have a minor heart attack ;)

PS if it does happen you can use a forced boot (Vol UP + power for several seconds) to recover.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] ortolan:
I would love to do this but is it safe to interfere with the phone by using ADB ? I mean is there any possibility that I would brick my phone by using this ? I've just changed to this phone after bricking my old device so I don't want to take risk anymore :(.

Edit: I've done it, quite easily actually, and thanks [MENTION=382554]arctophile[/MENTION] for the suggestion. Phone is much better with immersive mode.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] xxvinxx:
i would suggest disable it for any app that is not going to be benefited by this mode (back ground service apps). I got more than 100 apps on my XZ1C and blacklisting just the lockscreen system app alone is not enough.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dgunn:
All of the sounds are very loud because on 5.1.5 everyone was complaining that the sounds were too low. So OnePlus pushed up the volume. You can go on to the OnePlus Community forums if you want to read all the complaints about how low the sound was
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] amithiel:
The problem was people complaining it was too low. For me personally, the audio was just fine. never missed a call or any notification at all, anyway...everybody had to complain. So now ONEPLUS boosted up the levels to a point you can hear your phone ringing across the building in minimum level.

Funny thing is: I have to use an app to decrease screen brightness to lower levels than minimum at night, and i have to use another app/kernel to decrease the sound to minimum levels too. lol. I love this phone with all my heart, but i hate having to hack 2 basic settings
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] raho78:
Which app do you use to lower the volume?

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iblackford:
Hi All,

I apologize if this has been covered before (I read similar threads, but nothing quite like my problem, or the solutions were not effective). I have a Oneplus X, with Lineage 14.1 on it. When I hit the power button to blank the screen, it never wakes up from sleep on a subsequent power button press. I can hold the power button for a long period of time, and reboot, and this restores normal operation.

Things I have tried:

-Cleared all cache

-Factory reset phone

-Grabbed a logcat before and after the wake event(I can't see any obvious errors, but I would welcome some more professional eyes on it)

-used Droid@screen to verify that the phone is in fact alive when the screen goes to wake (it wakes up, I can control it through Droid@screen on my computer, but still a black screen on the phone)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Ivan

When you mean factory reset, it means that you reinstall OOS on it after formating all partitions?

[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] mr_5kool:
Some of you may have a problem with your navigation bar after upgrading to Nougat. Some of you may be bored with boring default navigation bar. So, you can try Navigation Gesture (NG) that developed by XDA. This app is quite good for free version ($1 to unlock all feature).

How does the navigation gesture works? Many may know, many may not know. Simplicity: a virtual-float-bar (button) appears on the screen. You can touch, swipe to do actions like default navigation bar (such as tap to return to Home screen, swipe left for Back, swipe right for Recent Apps, etc.). It's the way common navigation gesture apps work. And so does NG. I've tried many apps like NG, they all use a small bar for gestures. Some can easily change the bar-form to circle or rectangle-form, some can only make a little change to the form, and some cannot. With NG, you can change the bar form easily. So what's new? In all app that I've tried, only NG allows the bar moving coresponding to the direction you swipe. This lets me know what I have done. I love this! NG also allows me to hide the default navigation bar with only one simple adb command (it is: adb shell pm ....... I'm sorry, i forgot this command. You can see it when using the app. Just connect the phone to computer, open adb, type the command and hit Enter. There's no notification after it's done).

So, how to install? Of course, Google Play. Look for XDA navigation gesture app and install. Run the app with its instruction. You can choose the actions when you touch, you can change the size or the shape of the bar.... You can discover the app yourself.

I don't have any relation to this app. I just express my opinion. I did it on my rooted X Style and non-rooted Verizon X 1st gen.

I'm sorry for my bad English. Do it at your own risk.
