Hey all,

I just got a MXQ Pro+ 4K (Android 7.1.2) hx_s905x TV box with 3GB RAM / 32GB ROM. Tested SU root with a root testing app, says the device is rooted ok. I checked for software updates and it says that Android is up to date:

Android Version: 7.1.2

Security patch level: May 5 2017.

Kernel version: 3.14.29 (March 2018)

Build: hx_s905x-userdebug 7.1.2 NHG47L 20180316 test keys Rev B5

I can not get my Logitech Rumblepad 2 wireless gamepad to work with it. Trying to avoid flashing a new ROM or anything that could brick it so I'm only looking for drivers for it and instructions on how to install them.

Good news:

1. I see the device listed as plugged in through the "USB Device Info" app, it recognizes it as Logitech Rumblepad 2 and recognizes another generic gamepad as well.

2. Gamepad is not broken - my old Android Box with Android v.4.4.4 detects it just fine, I can play games and navigate through Android UI on it using the gamepad.

Bad news:

1. Neither the Logitech Rumblepad nor the generic gamepad work in games or in Android UI on the MXQ Pro+

2. Tried a bunch of gamepad testing apps from Play Store but no values come up, it is not detected at all.

What I need help with:

Drivers, modules... anything that will allow gamepad support on Android 7.1.2 and instructions how to install them. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

It is really weird that an older Android comes with support out of the box yet the latest one doesn't.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Daxiongmao87:
I know this is old, but after doing searching, it seems like no one replies to these threads with gamepad issues. Is this just something that's troublesome for devs to implement? Are the driver modules just not available? I am in the exact same boat as you, I'm hoping in the future I can turn my little android boxes into steam link + htpc devices.

Hi,

I have a serious trouble with my phone.

My phone's model is sm-g5108q(SAMSUNG G5108Q Galaxy Core Max).

It is manufactured in 2014 and of course it's old phone.

Oneday when i power on my phone, i can't input password because keyboard is not appearing.

It seems samsung keyboard error.

Password type is normal password(not pin,pattern,face,fingerprint)

I reset my phone lots of times, but always the same results.

I can't perform the Factory reset becauseof loss of data.

I googled my issue all day long, so i found solution. That's the way to use usb-key board(with otg cable)

After i connected usb-key to the phone (with otc cable), but nothing happend, I disappointed.

I tried it on other phone, usb-key works well on lock screen on that phone.

I looked thorugh my phone,omg, my phone turned into Emergency mode(i don't know the reason).

In Emergency mode, it didn't permit to connect other device to save battery.

I googled again to find the method to disable Emergency Mode.

On Recently produced phone, after pressing power button, there was a menu "Enable/Disable Emergency Mode".

But my phone is old one, so in order to disable Emergency mode, i think i should login my phone.

So i can't do anything.

To use usbkeyboard, i should disable Emergency mode.

To disable Emergency mode, i should login phone.

of course, i know my password.

Please help me, i will appreciate any solutions or advices and he will be rewarded

Hey all,

This is an issue that most TyTn2/Kaiser users probably face when starting up the device at first.

I have double contacts appearing on the Contact list - 1 "Outlook Contact" & 1 "SIM Contact".

I would like to use only the "Outlook contacts" - but I have no idea of how to make things tidy at this point - having about 100 double entries.

I guess i'd want the contacts on my SIM card too - to be on the safe side, but I don't want the SIM entries to appear on my contact list and make a mess with the Outlook contacts.

Another thing about contacts - is having them arranged by the Lastname. I'm used to seaching by Firstname, and changing them one by one is really frustrating!

Any suggestions?

Thank you all!

Noam.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NuShrike:
Read my forum notes on it, and what ROM are you using? Next version, I'll package some notes, and have it auto-start.

KaiserSimFix is for ROMs that keep resetting the registry value, and will adjust the registry to hide after every soft-reset because:

IT'S a PROGRAM. I bet you guys aren't used to seeing programs that are < 5K.

So it works better than Advanced Config or KaiserTweak for these roms. For other less anal ROMs such as Dutty's, either of the former are super-fat but work too.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beevme:
I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (Specifically the N920T, T-Mobile) and waiting for it to arrive. I was wondering if there's a good Note 5 stock rom with less bloatware that can be flash over the T-Mobile's N920T stock rom.

Example: I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7. Because it is a Verizon Phone, the S7 was loaded with bloatwares and other annoying Verizon features. I was able to flash a G930U stock rom over the Verizon's G930V stock rom. As a result of this, carrier's bloatware were gone, more storage space were free up, and more ram were usable.

I would like to be able to do the same thing on the Note 5 if possible.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4529355:
Not possible. Carrier specific models have very limited options. You can root and delete whatever apps you consider "bloatware".

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bongostl:
Hi All--

I've been on the Android P Beta for a while.

However, starting with the final beta that was released (and now on the final version of pie) I've been experiencing really quick battery drain.

Tried a total wipe and restore, and the same thing. My wife (also the pixel) isn't having those issues at all.

Thoughts?

(nothing shows up in the battery section)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kbboykin:
Yes, I had great battery life. Then once Android Pie was released, jumped on the beta to get 9 sooner. Then got the upgrade from beta to final and battery life is horrible. I did not factory reset, I have battery saver on and it doesn'tseem to matter. If I leave on standby, no issues. If I use the phone, it can bleed as much as 10% per hour! Unacceptable. I may try factory resetting, but idk...
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] driz:
have you allocated sufficient time for app battery optimization?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] perIpIx:
I also have a pixel, Android 9.0/Pie (bought it brand new three days ago) and think battery is draining very (!) quick.

Yesterday I had roughly 2.5 SOT (with battery saver enabled) and this seems consistent with what I can expect typically. I did factory reset and have tried restricting "background activity" for my frequent apps - seems to make no difference. Obviously it had not time to do full battery optimization yet I guess, but I doubt it would mean a that big difference?

Saw a thread where someone mentioned it seems CPU-freq is high/inc. very rapidly when just tapping the screen (GPU-0%), and I can agree with that although I have not the prev. experience of what to expect.

My previous experience is with Xiaomi mi6/mi5 (lineage 15.1), similar usage would give 2x or 3x SOT (however with some other hw-issues.. ).
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] post-mortem:

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] gubacsek:
I had the same like the OP: everything was fine until the last beta came, and battery is draining faster, phone gets hot from even the smallest usage even in the prod release of android pie.

I was thinking it has something to do with being about 36 degrees (summer time....), but it is the same even in cooler temperature rooms. It's like if the phone is constantly doing something in the background, but only if I use it.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Nelway:
It has been a few days since I upgraded my Pixel 2. Battery life is noticably worse, maybe 20-30% more battery drain in a day than what I saw in Oreo.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] tecsironman:
I notice the issue as well. I did factory reset after update it's been a week. I was on beta and started noticing battery issues in the first beta and throughout. I decided to install Accubattery to track my battery usage and ended up with a result.

I normally welcome up updates, but this update screwed up my battery life so bad. I mean everything was perfect until the update. Now the battery drains so fast I can watch the percentage count down like a timer and now when the battery gets anywhere from 15-40% the phone will just shut down.

I would like to go back to oreo, but it's such a pain in the ass having to back everything up and flash a ROM considering I haven't done that since before I bought the pixel

They just released the November updates today, and both Pixel & Pixel XL are not included. It looks like there will be no more monthly updates, unfortunately.

You can try different Kernels, I been using all of the ones for Pixels. The default Governor which is schedutil which from my experience really biased toward speed of gestures, screen updates. In Deep sleep mode works well, but with screen on a battery % killer. So trying different kernels with Governor options "MAY" help. I have a new battery on hand, but need a new screen tape and luck to change appears the display cracks from disassembly in a lot of cases. A monthly update will be out, even my old Nexus 5x has a Nov build.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:

Absolutely,a phone blacklisted this early in the game has either been reported as lost,or stolen outright.

It's a bit soon for a phone to be unusable for a delinquency on payment (via carrier/etc..).

AFAIK,if it is a delinquency,the US Carriers co-operate w/each other & will not allow for use,until the debt is turned over to a collection agency,which is a months long process.

So yes,if someone bought a phone at an extreme discount,there's a good reason why it was so cheap,buyer beware...........................
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
As best I can tell,given the country & carrier you have listed,the SM-N9600 appears to be the best match.

The model your carrier is selling is the Qualcomm version (SM-N9600).

https://www.a1.bg/ustroystva/smartfoni/samsung/galaxy-note-9.3751

However,the Samsung Exynos SM-N960F (Single SIM) or SM-N960F D/S (Dual SIM) is also compatible w/100% of your networks bands.

The Qualcomm SM-N960U Models are used on US/North American Carriers,while the SM-N960U1 is the US/North American (SIM) Unlocked model.

Steer clear of the US models,for several reasons,varying from each specific carrier model,mainly update issues.....trust me on this one.

If you're wishing for aftermarket development (Root/ROMs),the SM-N960F or SM-N960F D/S is the one to get.

Most 3rd party sellers have the phones SIM Unlocked,definitely ask before buying.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
1) US Cellular phones are not SIM locked.

https://www.uscellular.com/site/legal/mobile-wireless-device-unlocking.html

The Note 9 on US Cellular is the same exact phone that's used on the rest of the US Carriers (SM-N960U).

If you're going to use it on another US carrier other than US Cellular,you may need to flash that carriers firmware for the best results possible.

2) None of the US Models of the Note 9 (SM-N960U or SM-N960U1) have a 2nd SIM slot,they're all single SIM phones.
