As I recall, I sideloaded the 5.1 ota over the existing system which had previously been rooted using stock recovery. Prior to the stagefright update attempt which consistently failed, I had removed root with Chainfire's Superuser. However, before the 5.1 sideload, the Dell Venue 7840 had also...

:D Thanks toxic_garden, as due to your input, I now have an up-to-date tablet that is not constantly freezing as well as the Stagefright update. I simply ADB sideloaded the 5.1 OTA over the messed up 5.1 system already on my tablet. Shortly after rebooting, the Stagefright update downloaded and...

Do you have a link to a source for both the update 5.1.img as well as the stagefright image? All I have been able to find is the 5.01 update. I am in the same predicament, currently on 5.1, but even after removing root before my first attempt applying the Stagefright fix, the update fails. I...

I had the exact same battery drain issue a couple months ago on 5.1. After about two weeks of experiencing this problem intermittently, it disappeared on its own.

I believe Marshmallow was released for the Nexus 9 about mid October. I was surprised that the one I received from HTC, although built on November 13, was already loaded with Marshmallow. I had assumed it would come with Lollipop and it would have to go thru the OTA update process.

I received the Nexus 9 today I ordered on November 25 on HTC's Black Frday offer to replace my Nexus 10 which is struggling with battery life. It was built on 11-13-2015 (HT5BD). It came with Marshmallow's 6.0 Build number MRA58N, and immediately after the first boot it installed the November 1...

I have used the Venue 7480 for close to a year and have not experienced that problem. However, I do believe shortly after I purchased mine i recall someone else had a post concerning the same problem you are experiencing. Sent from my Venue 8 7840 using Tapatalk

I finally got the Dell Venue 7840 to show up in Windows 10 as an ADB device. In Device Manager, under the "View" menu, I selected "Show Hidden Devices". It then, for the first time, showed up with a question mark under "Other Devices." I removed and then reinstalled the same Intel USB drivers...

Windows 10 Has anyone been able to install the latest Intel Android USB drivers with Windows 10 Pro? I get an Event error 441 error every time I try to install the drivers with the following event detail: EventData DeviceInstanceId USB\VID_413C&PID_B14B&MI_00\7&c5d474c&1&0000...

Casting on the Dell Venue 7840 works exactly the same as on my Nexus7 (2013) and Nexus 10 which is as you described. No rooting or flashing is necessary. The Dell Cast quick setting button only starts the Dell Cast app which offers you a link to the Dell web site where the Dell Cast can be...

I have streamed Pandora to a bluetooth speaker without any obvious loss of WiFi speed. However that probably a lot less demanding than a mouse and keyboard. I am also missing a micro HDMI port, but have casted the screen to my Smart TV via both a Roku 3 and the Amazon Fire Stick. Today I...

Dell Venue 7840 Saturation and other Ramblings I read the reviews and purchased the Dell Venue 8 7840 a week ago so will make a few comments about my experience to date. As background, I currently use for a significant time each day a Nexus 10 and a Nexus 7 (2013) tablet. I use both tablets...

I have the same issue on about 50% of my incoming calls Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Unless I missed it, the Nook app and US Bank app will not open on rooted stock Lollipop. Also, on 50% of incoming calls the screen does not turn on. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

With the free Play Store app, Charging LED, you can set up the charging light so when the battery is 100% the white LED stops blinking and remains solid white. I always plug my Nexus 7 (2013) in to charge when I go to bed at night. Being a light sleeper, when I wake up during the night and see...
