    Post Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus (aka TB-8704F/X)

    Has anyone else noticed that adb isn't running in secure mode on the Tab 4 8 Plus? I just connected my new Tab 4 8 Plus to my computer, installed the Lenovo adb drivers, and found that I was able to adb to the tablet without having to authorise my computer's RSA fingerprint, meaning that anyone...

    Post S2 frequent restarted & stuck @ model displayed screen

    Yeah, mine passed too, but still blocks were getting corrupted. My other diagnosis was a buggy kernel mmc or FAT filesystem driver. Possibly provoked by the S2 being multi-core and running many writing processes. I would have thought that would have been observed and fixed long ago, when Linux...

    Post S2 frequent restarted & stuck @ model displayed screen

    I've had similar when I was using my S2. The delay on that screen is fsck'ing /data, /cache etc. If you plug it in to AC and leave it (40-60 mins as I recall), it might boot. If you remove the battery, force power down, you will probably irrevocably corrupt the filesystem and need to follow the...

    Post [Q] How to extract FM Radio from stock firmware?

    It won't work. The Samsung FM radio app needs Samsung-modified framework components that aren't available as source. Spirit FM is the only choice for non-stock firmware and built-in radio chips. The other alternative would be an RTL2832 USB TV tuner connected via a USB OTG cable, an external...

    Post [Q] FM Radio on SLimKat

    My understanding is that Samsung's radio app requires changes and additions to Android frameworks for which corresponding source code isn't released. So, no.

    Post [Moto G 4G] SD card kernel errors/music stuttering

    Some mmc drivers have problems with the timings of some cards ; e.g. my Nook Simple Touch has problems with class 10 cards and logs similar errors. I swapped a class 6 card in instead, and the problems went away.

    Post [Q] what modes support wired internet out of the box?

    It depends on the chipset used in the USB Ethernet adaptorand whether the driver for it is in the kernel you're using. A complicating factor is that manufacturers sometimes change the chipset whilst keeping model/case styles the same. Google "nexus 7 otg Ethernet" and read.

    Post Nexus 7 still worth buying?

    I've just bought a 2013 Nexus 7, in spite of knowing that a new tablet is due soon. My reasoning was that I liked the form factor of the current 7 inch models (variously, the new one is 8" or even 8.9", which strikes me as a bit bulky and likely heavier), I got a good price on the 32GB model...

    Post [SOLVED] Data gone yet memory full after spontaneous reset

    If you've got files in lost+found, they're there because the on-boot filesystem check, fsck, put them there because it found the filesystem to be corrupt. Best thing is to factory wipe as there may still be lurking errors. If it keeps happening, your phone's flash is probably defective (either...

    Post [ Overheating fix ] Samsung galaxy s2 / also fix for gps and signal loss.

    That sounds like media scanner updating. Check your internal "sdcard" (and external, real sdcard, if you have one) for filesystem errors and fix them if you have them. Then just let it run (preferably whilst on charge as it can take some time; 2h with the 64GB card I have in mine). Sent from my...
