Time to replace old Galaxy Player... Anything new out? topic

My daughter has a Galaxy Player 4.2 and loves it. Problem is it is starting to show it's age and starting to have problems. I have done a factory reset / wipe.

I am looking to see what is new that is out there similar to the old Galaxy Players. I'm not getting her a cell phone, so trying to stick with an Android media player for her. She does e-mails, music, movies, and games mainly.

I really don't want to move her over to a Ipod touch as everyone else in the house runs Android.

I've looked around, but couldn't find really anything like the old Galaxy Players.

Is there anything "newer" out there for android?

Lollipop Charging Time topic

While I've seen tons of thread about battery life and how it acts with Lollipop, I haven't seen or even heard of anyone having an issue with how quickly the phone charges on 5.0.2. I'm really not sure what the case is considering my phone charges fine on KK ROMs. It also seems like it might just be either me or a generic bug, so far of the three 5.0.2 ROMs I've tried they all had the same issue. Has anyone else come across this?

[Q] LG G3 McaFee issues big time topic

Hi everyone

This is my first post here and a sad one at present.

i restored my G3 back to stock last night and all seemed to go well but now my phone says McaFee mobile security your device is locked and is asking for a pin to unlock it.

i don't have this pin and i don't have a clue how to get it, i purchased the phone as a used mobile and it was all good until i did the root back to stock because lollipop was causing some serious lag issues.

can anyone please help me with a way around this if possible

big thanks in advance

Help with building a custom recovery from scratch for the first time topic

i wanna build a custom recovery for my zeki tablet can someone point me in the best direction to start?

Is it that time yet? topic

Hey guys. Do you think its about time we incorperated features like multi window and mabey even screen resizing into AOSP such as cyanogen? I know AOSP is built on pure android but would such features really weigh down the vanilla experience we seek in cyanogen. Just a question. I love cm12 however i always revert back to TW 5.0 only because of the availability of such features. And with xposed disabled for 5.0 users it seems we are a bit limited. Would an AOSP team ever consider adding such features or is something like that against what cyanogen stands for? Is it even possible to add those things to the build of cm? Its just me pondering and hoping some day we will see these conviences in CM. I would like to hear from our XDA community and see if you feel it is something good, bad, or your indifferent too. I did actually post this question in temaseks CM12 section but then thought to hear the voice of XDA. So please take a moment and let us know your thoughts.

[Q] Windows 8, OblyTile, and Popcorn Time topic

I have seen this topic discussed before HERE on post #726. However, the described method has not worked for me. I am trying to create a Windows 8.1 Tile for Popcorn Time using OblyTile. Whenever I try to enter Popcorn Time's "Program Path" into OblyTile and run it, it opens up the "Node Webkit" program in what looks to be a browser page. I've tried to create a .bat file and run that through OblyTile in order to open Popcorn time but that does not work either.

The .bat file is as follows:

Quote:

@echo off cd /d %~dp0 cd /d .. Start "" "node-webkit\popcorn time.exe" App

The Popcorn Time .exe file is located at this target

Quote:

"C:\Users\Brandon\AppData\Local\Popcorn Time\node-webkit\Popcorn Time.exe"

Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I could create a Popcorn Time Tile with OblyTile and get it to work on the Windows 8.1 Start Screen?

Here's a screenshot showing what I have:

Charging time? topic

Is it just my device or does this thing charge super slow? I can't even get a full charge in a hour and a half and the battery is only 410mah.

Battery usage: should my phone show so much "Awake" time? topic

I know there are people constantly asking about battery life, but I have a very specific battery question that I can't find an answer for.

Please see the attached picture.
Should the "Awake" bar be like that? I haven't been using Samsung phones for a few years, but my old phone (an LG) didn't have that kind of awake time. At least I don't think it did. I swear that my old phone would enter deep sleep and this cause the awake bar to break up

On my Note 4, I have the exact same apps as I had on my old phone (I just got this phone last weekend too), except for the ATT bloatware, which I can't get rid of due to no root. However, the bloatware is disabled.

I only keep WiFi on (even when not connected). I tried disabling it, but it doesn't affect the Awake time. I don't use location and don't have any rogue apps. I also have Unified Daemon disabled.

Edit: Oh and I have to 910A variant. I'm posting here instead of the ATT variant's forum because I'm hoping to get a wider range of answers. I'll post in the ATT forum if needed though.

Wrong time on my zen watch topic

How do you sync the time with the phone, my zen watch is showing the wrong time.

[Q] Time to buy a new battery? topic

I've really loved my Nexus 4, except the battery life is just awful. I've used different kernels, undervolted, switched to 2G, turned brightness down and everything else you can do with the software to get more out of the battery.

Since I bought it used, I'm thinking maybe the battery is a little old and could use replacing. Is there a way to tell before I waste any money buying another stock battery? Like a sensor on the battery that tells you how healthy the battery is and if it still holds a good charge?

Also, are there any options for extended batteries besides the Mugen extended battery case? It's almost as much as I paid for the phone!

Thanks for any suggestions

GT-i9070 stuck in time topic

hello everyone, i need some help with this issue i'm having.

i'm currently fixing a GT-9070 with a rather odd problem: everytime it reboots, it's like it's stuck in somewhere around last year, it even displays as unread a text message the phone received back then. the time and date are reset to factory settings, and basically everything done before reboot just disappears.

some kind of groundhog day stuff going on.

what could it be? so far i've only tried doing a factory reset, to no avail.

usually googling the problem does the trick, but since i found no similar cases, i didn't want to try any more radical methods before having some information on about what's causing the issue in the first place.

the firmware is xxld1, let me know if i need to post any more specs

thanks in advance

[APP][4.0+] Do Now - Task timer (Time blocking/todo list updated Material Design ) topic

Hi. I started work on this app back in April and got a little bit of feedback off here as I was still learning Android. I've learned a lot since then and in my latest iteration the highlights include adding Google Task syncing and updating to Material Design. The app is based on the idea of time blocking and focusing on doing one thing at a time while simplifying the idea of the todo list that, to me, always seems overly complicated. Please let me know what you think! You can grab it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...stic.donow.app. Here are the key features:

- Timed tasks with optional alarms and notifications
- Autocomplete remembers previous tasks as well as average duration and actual time spent
- Plan ahead or make it quicker to enter in repetitive tasks/upcoming plans by saving them as routines
- Complete tasks/pause/start from widget
- Sync with Google Tasks & across devices (Use Todoist? A Do Now user generously shared a Zapier recipe to sync Todoist with Google Tasks which then syncs with Do Now. See here: https://zapier.com/zapbook/todoist/g...asks-new-task/).
- Re-order tasks and your timers will adjust
- Auto-repeat mode - completed tasks get re-added to bottom of list (Pro feature)
- Routine scheduling - set a schedule (can be repetitive) for a routine to get loaded automatically into your planned list (Pro feature)
Helpful for those with ADD/ADHD and need help staying focused
The app is broken up into simple lists:
- Planned - stuff you want to get done today and where you start your timer. Just hit play or set up a reminder of when you want to start. Synced tasks due today will end up here.
- Unplanned - stuff you want to get done at some point (brain dump). Synced tasks not due today will end up here.
- Routines - saved lists of tasks that you can load into either of the above lists whenever you want. This can be useful for repetitive tasks (every morning) or just for planning ahead. You can start the timer from within each list and the tasks will be loading into the Planned list.

[Q] Long time un-updated N7 topic

Hello,
Acquired a used nexus 7 today, according to the previous owner its only a few months old (in perfect condition).
the tablet had not seemed to have received a single update performed and was running 4.3 when I got it,
I signed into my account and was immediately prompted to download and install 4.4.2 which I did, then 4.4.3 then 4.4.4.
since then (a few hours ago) nothing, no sign of 5.0, is there a period of time you need to be running 4.4 while connected before 5.0 becomes available ?
or by now in January if it has not come OTA then it wont and has to be done manually ?
Never side-loaded and prefer not to if its going to show up in the next few days..

thanks

HP Touchpad Mouse and Keyboard Issue cant use both at same time topic

I decided to make this a separate thread apart from the general questions post mainly for anyone who has a similar issue, it will be much easier to follow and ask questions, as well as update it myself when I have more data.

So to begin, I wiped my Touchpad with TPtoolbox v.40, installed CM11 4.4.4 with standard gapps and philz recovery. Everything was working great and going smooth until I tried to use a USB Logitech G11 keyboard and a wireless G700 mouse with the dongle attached to the keyboard. The touchpad will recognize the first device installed to the OTG cable but nothing else I plug into it unless the first device is removed. Let me give some examples of things I have tried.

----OTG Y cable (1 male Micro USB, 1 Female Micro USB power input, 1 Female USB) powered by PC or AC Power supply----

-TP>OTG>Keyboard>Mouse dongle = Keyboard input only

-TP>OTG>Non powered USB hub>Keyboard + Mouse = input based on first device plugged in, if both are plugged in when I plug in the hub, they keyboard always loads first but the mouse does work when keyboard is removed.

-TP>OTG>Non powered USB hub> Keyboard + wireless mini keyboard/mouse combo (Rii i8) + USB flash drive = Everything works, I can type with both the USB keyboard and the mini keyboard with functional mini mouse pad as well as access USB storage. However, when I add any type of dedicated mouse, be it my G700 or wired usb G500, neither work unless I remove the other two input devices.

[Q] [A700] Bad performance on all ROMs, apparently only 1 core used most of the time topic

Hey there,
so i have been trying to get my girlfriends A700 on a modern version of Android, but so far stuff like Omni ROM or Pacman ROM had REALLY bad performance. I'm talking about 7-12 fps in the launcher and most other apps, which to me is unbearable. Today i was experimenting with kernel settings, and for this activated the CPU usage overlay.

It showed that 90% of the time only CPU0 is used and all other cores are deactivated and idle. I'm not sure if this is intended behaviour, but in combination with the choppy performance it's kind of suspicious to me.

So basically i have 2 questions:

1) Are all the Android 4.2 and up custom ROMs just really slow, or is there something wrong on my gfs device?
2) Should the device be running on one core all the time?

Time to say goodbye topic

I wanted to say thanks to those that have helped me out in the past on my LG-E980. Sorry to say but Monday my nexus 6 will be here. I have had a great time on the G Pro forums keep up the good work. Dam good phone.
