[Q] Having a hard time starting. Need help getting passed this seemingly minor issue.

I'm following a course from StackSkills to learn how to develop applications. I'm using Andriod Studio SDK. I am still in the absolute beginning and in the video it showed to drag a widget to the "phone?" and when I tried doing that it didn't allow me to. When I try to drag onto the phone it displays a "cancel" symbol where the pointer would be. I apologize beforehand if this is not the proper location for the thread. I'm new here as well. Thanks for any help.

Moto X Play - overheat issue

I have just purchased moto x play. but this phone has overheating problem even after 10-15 minutes of call. heating is too much that phone can not be kept with ear to attend the call. Motorola must release any update to resolve this problem ASAP otherwise this phone is totally wastage of money.

there is some eco problem with speakers also.

motorola must resolve these issue to make it a successful phone.

Stutters only while streaming (probably NOT the bandwidth issue).

I use a file manager like ES File Explorer to locate a video file on a Windows Network Share and open it with MX Player. The file manager seems to convert Windows Network protocol into HTTP, and then passes the address to MX Player.

I have the following problems:
* For some files, streaming by the aforementioned configuration makes the video stutter. When the same file is copied to local storage and played it plays fine. This is irrelevant whether HW or SW decoding is used.
* For some files, HW decoding does not work at all when streaming or works but stutters and sometimes stops. When the same file is copied to local storage and played, HW decoding works fine.

First of all, I think it is not a bandwidth problem. It is a 300Mbps home Wi-Fi network, and the actual PC to Android copy speed is over 7MB/s (megabytes ) in ES File Explorer.
Secondly, to be fair, it does not seem only the problem of MX Player. For those problematic files, I tried VLC, Gom Player, Good Player, etc and they all had the same symptom.
Thirdly, it does not seem to be a problem of specific device, manufacturer, or low-end CPU. This happens on all my android devices, some of which are quite high-end devices.
Fourthly, it does not seem a problem of a specific streaming software (this case, ES File Explorer), because it happened with other file manager applications or direct HTTP/FTP streaming from a computer in my home network.
Finally, it does not seem to be the problem of video resolution either. Some 1080p/720p video files do not have this problem, but some 1080p/720p files do. For example, one video file that stutters when streaming is just a small 720p video whose video bandwidth is only about 2Mbps and audio bnadwidth is about 160Kbps. This is far below my 7MB/s copy speed.

This problem has been bugging me for more than a few years and I still cannot get a solution. It could be Android's problem because, even a low-end Windows laptop and an old Macbook can play those problematic files just fine. But those are not tablets, and I want to play them on tablets.

Do anyone of you have the same problem? Is there any solution to this other than transcoding or re-encoding the files?

[Q] Wifi messed up: issue with my router, phone, or is this an Android issue?

I have an Asus ZenFone 2 that I have recently reflashed to stock, thinking it would fix the issue (which it has not).

The wifi on my home network shows that it's connected, and I have it set up so that wifi is working while the phone is sleeping, but sometimes it just stops. I get errors watching YouTube, apps that require internet connection stop responding, etc.

My router (Linksys E1550) has a basic setup, nothing out of the ordinary there. I never had this issue with my old phone (Galaxy Nexus) and the same router.

Any suggestions? I don't really have any other wifi network to test it against, unfortunately.

Htc one m7 issue!!

I have a htc one m7 that my neighbor had me fix because he tried updating but failed, now all you could do on the phone is go on the bootloader.

I have already tried several ways to unlock bootloader but not succesful since i cant go into the phone.

If you could help ill be grateful.

S6 water damange, working battery issue

A friend has a Galaxy S6 that got some water damage.
The phone boots, screen works and all other functions seem to work.
The issue is, the battery may charge or be on 95% then it will maybe jump down to 25%.

Is this hardware (battery charging circuitry still a little moist) or battery (maybe circuity was moist, then dried but damaged battery in process)

Do you guys think its just the battery?
(I had a S3 and the battery was doing the same thing, erratic drain and percentage. When I replaced the battery, it was obviously something was wrong as it was beginning to swell a little. Put new battery in and everything was back to normal.....I wonder if the S6 battery has faulted/swelled a little also.)

OPO and GPS issue

Hi. I've been experiencing severe issues about GPS and navigation on my OPO, which is exrtemely frustrating.

I can't have a decent navigation system on my device, as the blue pointer on Google Maps is usually extremely vague about the position and sometimes, even if I start the navigation, the pointer doesn't follow my track, stuck on my starting place.

I tried everything: the problem appeared to be solved on CM 12, but then I had to downgrade back to CM 11 because the battery was draining so fast.

Any idea? Thanks!

Updating Exodus Nandroid Restore Issue

Sorry if this has already been asked; I tried searching, but I couldn't find anything.

I'm running Exodus version 5.1-20150911-NIGHTLY-bacon, TWRP 2.8.6, Exodus stock kernel
I'm trying to update to a new nightly, but I always get stuck in a bootloop.

Here's what I do:
Reboot to recovery
Nandroid backup
Wipe data, system, cache, Dalvik
Flash the new ROM (I tried COS 12.1 once, but it didn't work; I mostly try flashing the latest Exodus nightly_
(sometimes) Flash xposed-v74-sdk22-arm-by-romracer (it doesn't make a difference if I don't flash it)
Restore only the data from the last nandroid

Now when I reboot I'll just be stuck in the boot animation or I'll be able to pass the animation and I'll just be stuck in a loop setting up the apps.

If I don't flash xposed, but still restore the nandroid I'll boot up faster, but I get System UI has Stopped and then the phone goes into a boot animation loop
If I don't restore the nandroid it works fine and boots up way faster.

How can I update while keeping my app data (my xposed data isn't that important to me if that'll make a difference)?

ATT S6 G920AUCU1AOE2 Root issue

I had my S6 rooted for a bit then when I wanted to unroot. So I went to superuser and hit unroot. I rebooted my phone and used a root checker and it said that my phone is now unrooted. I then went to the settings and saw that my device status is still "custom". Even after a factory reset it still says "custom". Is there any way I can get it back to official? Also my KNOX counter has not been tripped. I'm also on Android 5.0.2

[Q] Emoji Issue: Snapchat

Now, I'm no stranger to the XDA forums and have spent some time on my own trying to figure this out. :confused:

Before I continue:
Phone: HTC One M7 UL
Firmware: 6.04.1700.10 (GPE)
Android OS: 5.1 GPE (Stock & rooted)

So with that out of the way, back to the thing I've been trying to figure out.

Obviously emoji has been integrated by the hangouts apps. Then there is the iWinn keyboard, from what I remember from my nexus 4 days was a system implantation of emoji (or at least to my understanding).

I have the stock Messaging app from 4.4.2. Emoji, either iwinn keyboard and the smiley options, works on messaging and from my understanding a good amount of other apps as well. The only issue i seem to have is being unable to use ANY emojis on Snapchat. Obviously the app supports it, proof from personal experience and seeing other phones as well. I added the iWinn keyboard to my keyboard and made sure that Emojii was checked INSTEAD of japanese. But yet when I change to the iWinn keyboard a T9 keyboard appears instead of the emojis. So I have yet to find a resolution to this. Help would be appreciated.

I haven't encountered this issue with any other apps on my phone, so I'm confused on this one. Screen shots included

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue

First off: Ive searched the forum and there are a few similar posts to my problem but I thought I would ask my question before trying any of the things Ive found because I think its in this mess because Ive messed somehting up so dont want to make it worse.....

So I got given an AFAIK unrooted GT-P5100 (from Belgium) by my friend to try and fix as they had got the Interpol/ FBI thing on it. So i looked around the web and tried Safe Mode but couldnt get that to work at all so I thought I would just do a factory reset. So I got into the options by pressing volume up or down (whichever one it is) and selected wipe cache partition it displayed "erasing" then followed by "error" and the tablet rebooted back to the Interpol screen. Then I tried wipe data/factory reset it seemed to go through it very quickly, no errors displayed and then it either rebooted automatically or I selected reboot I cant remember, but straight back to the Interpol screen.........

Then I thought Odin, Ive used it in the past to flash custom ROMs on my rooted phones...
I downloaded the firmware from sammobiles - P5100XXDNA1_P5100PRODNA1_P5100XXDMG1_HOME.tar.md5
I followed these instructions with odin v3.10
- Run Odin3.exe
- Click on PA button and Select the firmware file.
- Connect your phone to PC via USB cable, And wait until Odin3 detects the phone.
- Click on Start button and wait until the operation done.

All seemed to be going OK, it added it on Com3 and several bits of text appeared saying success
Then Odin came up with fail when it seemed to be abou 90% of the way across, the bar stopped on the tablet and didnt move. Im guessing at this point I should have asked for help
Like a muppet I also closed Odin before I took a screenshot... doh!!!!!!
After a while I disconnected the cable and tried to put it back into download mode but all that comes up on the screen now is "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"

So I installed Kies and tried recovery mode but it doesnt detect the tablet at all.

Odin can still connect, this time on Com5

I've read about installing TWRP through Odin, is this something I should try or have I just trashed this tablet now?

Thanks for any advice!!

Annoying Fingerprint Issue

Note 4 repair help please ( POWER Button issue )

So out of nowhere my power button stopped working. I cant turn the phone off or on or lock the screen when its awake. I called a few places but none seem to be able to fix it. So looks like i may have to give this a shot myself.

Did some research and came up with this hardware.....
