    Thread Firestick 4K enhanced with junk I had lying around the house

    I decided to try to see just how far I could push this micro-sd port that is claimed to be "for power only". Turns out, pretty far. And without even using all that specific gear - just some random junk I wasn't using for anything else. I already had the following: A Unitek USB 3.0 Hub +...

    Thread Firestick 4K video tests

    Not comprehensive, but did grab a bunch of samples with some key differences (264/265 8/10 bit, 1080p/2160p, 60FPS) just to see what this stick could handle. My test bed was MX Player with the all-in-one decoder pack. Smooth Playback via HW/HW+ - h.264 8bit 1080p - x.265 8bit 1080p - x.265...

    Hi all, I am stuck on a logo, but can't even get to recovery, nor boot from SD/USB, and the toothpick button doesn't work as designed - it didn't appear to even before I started. Is there another way out of this pickle?

    Thread Lineage 14.1 just installed; now, no folders visible on PC when USB attached

    SM-P900 used to see a folder for the tablet, and another for the SD card. Is this an expected limitation?

    Thread Is Lineage worth it?

    My SM-P900 is a great device, in terms of screen and pen, but not at all smooth (I'm on stock 5.0.2). It feels to me more like a hardware issue - not enough RAM, nor horsepower to deal with the all the pixels being pushed. I've have been poking around this forum all morning, and I'm still left...
