[Q] After getting apps working, random reboots - Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Greetings. I followed android cowboys instructions on how to get gapps and Amazon store working together and absolutely love it. I am having one issue though. There are times when my kindle is in standby mode and I will get this message saying my kindle wasn't able to start right. I then reset it and it will start correctly. Anyone with the 8.9 having the same problem? Many thanks.

Thank you very much. I will give it a try.

Well I done screwed up. I didn't realize that the new update was launched. So when I reset everything to factory settings, I allowed it to update. Bad news. :crying: Went from rooted to non rooted. Is there any way I can go back to 14.3.1? Uggggh...
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Is netflix working normally on your stock TFP

Hey all my TFP peeps!
I am having infinite amounts of trouble getting netflix to work on my completely stock TFP since Netflix updated to 2.0. I have 4 devices and I have updated all but 1 (all android) to 2.0 and all of them are doing the same thing minus the kindle (not updated).
The SGS2 and TFP and LTE EVO with completely fresh installs will let me log in, properly see the panels of shows and recently watched, but once I select a show it will stick on the red loading screen infinitely, like overnight and nothing.
Kindle is working great.
Stock everything on every phone (I know, shame on me). All phones work on 3G/4G.
Comments seem that I am not alone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...client&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
So I come to the premier peeps for amazing solutions, what the HELL is wrong with my netflix apps on my phones/TFP.
BTW, I have not changed anything on my router, and tons of other devices are able to connect and watch (I make people try when they come over) ipads, iphones, etc... Come to think of it no other android devices lol.
Thanks all, Kevin

Well, I'm unlocked and not stock anymore, but I can let you know that I am able to run Netflix version 2.0.1 build 655 which I am assuming is the latest version fine on my Prime using Hairybean 1.3 which is a JB based rom. You can try clearing the data from your netflix app under settings apps, and then uninstall, then reinstall the app from the market. Maybe try turning off Automatic restore under settings, backup & reset so Google doesn't automatically restore whatever settings might be blocking you before you reinstall from market.
Hope you can get it figured out.
i ran a show for 15 mins, stock, locked JB and unrooted without difficulty.
I had problems right after the most recent upgrade. It was released about 3 weeks ago. I had just watched a Netflix the night before without problems. I upgraded then had the problems you're mentioning. Eventually, I got an error. The error occurred in the Netflix app and (to any reasonable person) it appeared to be a Netflix error.
I called Netflix support about this. They're usually very good. The tool that I talked to told me that it was an OS problem and that I'd need to contact Asus. I already know how absolutely HORRIBLE Asus support is, so that was DECIDEDLY NOT AN OPTION. I argued with this idiot back and forth for about 5-10 minutes. I told him that it worked fine the previous night with the previous version and then stopped working right after the upgrade. I asked him how in the heck he figured this was an OS problem.
This idiot could not help me and he let me know that there is no escalation point. The buck stopped there. To make matters more infuriating, there was no downloadable down-rev version of the player - he would not provide that -- UGH!
After cursing him, his family, his pets, his culture, his sexual proclivity (whatever it may happen to be), and his company, I removed and reinstalled the player a few times. It ended up working.

He hung up on me.

This is seriously killing me, i am one stop short of a complete factory reset. Could it really be just my tab?

ACK! Sorry to ask.
I think I had my problems around 9/25 or 9/26. I just checked my version on my non-rooted, non compromised JB Transformer Prime. I'm running NetFlix v2.0.1 build 655. It looks like I somehow have something a little newer than you. Hmmmm.....

Yeah 655 didnt fix ****. SO PISSED.
Reset the whole tab and everything.
SO PISSED!!!!
Well guys I figured it out (kind of). I took the tab to a local McDonalds, and just as before it booted straight in and started playing. So at that point I knew it was something with my router. I have an Asus RT-N56u just in case it matters.
So I wrote down my settings (port forwarding for remote desktop, apps, etc to my HTPC) and did a factory reset. When it came back alive I just left it unprotected, and sure enough started streaming just like normal. Then I reset all of my settings one at a time (port forwarding, going to WPA2-Personal encryption, etc.) and each change it kept streaming just like normal. I now have my settings back to EXACTLY how they were before, but with a factory reset and changing the settings back to the same as before, it is working now. I have no idea why it broke, but on google play it seems there are others having the same troubles. I am now back in love with both my TFP and netflix service!

[Q] Did I buy a bricked Kindle?

Hey guys, new around here.
My brother found a Kindle Fire HD 7" on kijiji and thought it would be a nice gesture to buy one for my mom on her birthday. So we split on it, it looked barely used.
Every time I setup the thing, the language screen/menu keeps reappearing. I've been reading and it seems like this is a common problem for "rooted" kindles that have been factory reset. That the issue is because OTA updates were disabled so it keeps constantly trying to contact Amazon, but it cant?
I tried like seems like everything but nothing seems to work. What's funny is that if I hit the touchscreen quickly after hitting the language, I can access settings. I went to check the version and it has whatever the firmware that was released in March 2014 (11.3.2.2). So I tried hitting the "Check for Updates" button, and it immediately says update failed yet I'm connected to WiFi.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Stock Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 - Boots to OS/Reboots after 15-30 seconds

My Aunt has a totally stock Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 that has an usual problem.
When it is plugged into a computer it boots into the OS, I can unlock it, get to settings/browser etc, but after 30 seconds or so it reboots.
I've tried holding the power button for a minute, etc, but nothing has solved the problem.
Has anyone run into this before? What are my options? She tried to talk to Amazon, but the device is 16 months old and they were very little help.
Could this be a problem with the power button itself? I just can't figure out why sometimes it will boot all the way to the OS if that's the case?
Unlikely. Sounds like your Aunt's device is caught in a classic boot loop which can happen after a failed update. I would reach out to Amazon support given the device is 100%. If they can't fix the problem remotely they will often offer an exchange.

LG v10 Bricked After LG Software Update (Error: Unfortunately, Smart Notice stopped)

Hi All,
Just received my unlocked LG v10 which I purchased on Ebay from Korea. The phone worked perfectly out of the box and then I got on Wi-Fi and checked for updates, and there was an LG Android system update that supposedly addressed bug fixes and improved the stability of apps so naturally I updated. BIG MISTAKE! Now I get a constant pop-up window loop cycle that says 'Unfortunately, Smart Notice stopped'. I am not allowed to post a link to the video I shot of this happening, but it is on Twitter if you want to see, you can DM me. If I tap OK it just pops up again right away.
Can anyone help me with this? I have done a device reset, I have tried to force quit Smart Notice and cleared its cache but nothing works. Also there is no record of this happening online that I could find.
Really upset that after $1,300 AUD this is my first experience with Android and a flagship phone.
Many thanks if you can help.
can you try earse and reset all in Setting ???

Thanks for the suggestion. I have already tried that and it makes no difference. I have also cleared the Smart Notice cache (I can't disable it completely).
Have you tried factory reset or booting into recovery and wiping?

Thanks for your help. I have applied a factory reset, but am unsure how to boot into recovery mode and wiping. I have booted in 'Safe Mode' which disables 3rd party apps but the problem persists. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Also I have downloaded the LG Tools but it does not recognise that the phone is connected and there is no option in the settings menu (which is accessible in between quick taps of the warning message) to mount it as a USB drive.
I appreciate all the suggestions and help. Many thanks.

I haven't owned an lg phone in a long time but try holding down the volume down and power button at the same time. (from power off) and wipe all caches.

Thanks again. I have tried that and sadly it makes no difference. I think this is related to their latest update as it worked perfectly before that. Is it possible to roll back to a previous version?

Download the LG mobile support tool and hook it up to that. You can re flash the KDZ file from there.

Thanks for the advice. Have downloaded and it says 'No update is available'. I then tried to use the recovery with the phone unplugged and entered the serial and model number, then I plug in the phone but it gives me a warning that the battery isn't sufficiently charged (was at 90%). Currently charing up to 100% to see if that makes a difference and will report back.
Appreciate all the help! What a great forum.

Unfortunately even with battery at 100% and connected to via USB the LG Support Tool still states that there is insufficient battery to perform recovery.

Try taking the battery out and putting it back in. I've run the tool successfully from within android and not download mode so you might want to try that as well.

Thank you so much for your continued help.
I tried both suggestions without success. When not in download mode the phone is not recognised and taking the battery out for 60secs and reinserting it didn't seem to make a difference.
I will post this back to LG Korea today and hope it was just a lemon.

Me too. And that is awesome that yours is about to arrive. I can say that before updating it, the experience was very smooth and I absolutely love the dual displays. I'm annoyed I didn't get a chance to test the camera which is the reason I bought it.
Are you importing one from Korea? Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the phone.
Cheers,
Eliot

I'm buying it for the camera as well. I bought it for 599 at T-Mobile in the US, with overnight shipping it should arrive tomorrow. I was going to get a Nexus 6P but the video camera is brutal on that phone. I've had LG phones since the Nexus 4, then Nexus 5, then G2, G3 and now the V10 will be 5th LG in a row. I really do like the LG experience.
Great. I'm glad to hear of a positive LG experience as mine has been anything but that so far, but I'm sure it will be smooth sailing once this silly issue is resolved.
I have a 6p and Xperia Z5 on order as well, and will keep the one I love most and sell the others. Thanks again for your help.
I got a F600S, bought in Korea on the release day. I got the system update on October 20, and I didn't experience any problems since then. I didn't see any great difference either, I have to say.
On the other hand... I don't like Smart Notice, and in general the LG Launcher, so I switched to Nova Launcher before that date.
Have you tried a different launcher? Hopefully that won't trigger Smart notice and you will be safe for now.

Moto 360 2015 only responsive when phone screen is turned on.

Hi guys,
I recently bought my Moto 360 2nd gen. After 4 weeks, it started to fail pushing messages through. In the beginning, unreliable, now, nothing except for. My step count....
I restart my watch everyday, disconnect and connect with my phone, factory restarted it several times. Only for 15 min, it tends to work, than, the same described above.
Now, I found out, when I wake up my phone it push messages through, and music toggles are working. Messages which are received by my phone before I picked it up will not be pushed through though.
Does anyone can help me with this issue, before I go to ask my money back from Motorola, because I start to get frustrated!
I bought it to leave my phone in my pocket, now, I have it in my hands even more:crying:
Delete
Samsung galaxy s5
Delete
I changed it, I'll let you know if it worked!
Do you have other possible solutions?
Thanks. Very much!!
Hey rocketSauce83, I've been using it for a couple of days now. I can confidently say that it is up and running how it supposed to be! Super smooth! Thanks a lot for your help and a happy new year!

hey.. i have the same problem with my moto 360 2015. i dont have any idea what you mean by delete. i have tried everything except phone reset. i tried pairing my watch with my old tablet and everything is working fine. i think it started after the latest security patch on my phone. BTW my phone is note 4 still on lollipop(no marshmallow yet) and not rooted. i need help solving, thanks in advance
update:
I have just found the cause of the problem. It was the new app optimization feature that samsung installed on my device after the latest update. i just disabled the optimization on my AW app.
