Onda v989 need some help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way I can do away with this China version of android and just go to some thing else, I have been online reading and reading and READING and I'm to the point where I piss a little fire when I pee! There is nothing out there significant enough for me to get a grasp on what is required to hack my device, some one I'm begging contact me through pm I'll give you my kik and maybe chat with me a bit about what I can do to make this onda not only able to use something like cm12 but other custom ROMs and or upgrades! If you read this far down, thank you from the wholeness of my being

This has been the only place I have found to help with our quickly forgotten tablet.

I have this tablet, since no developer has it, so you can't expect any more development better is to donate it to some expert.

New Recognized Contributor in the Evo LTE Forums!

Hey guys! I don't want anyone to see this as fishing for compliments or thanks, so let's kill that idea first.
I was recently nominated and accepted as a Recognized Contributor here on xda, so I just wanted to kinda give you guys a formal and friendly introduction.
Username: RegnierD -> IRL: Todd
I've been an Android geek for nearly two years now, and have absorbed a lot of information in that time. While I may not be able to build my own rom or submit fixes on github, I do retain information very well and try to help out everywhere I can. I just want everyone to know that if you guys ever need help with something or just need a little guidance, feel free to ask me and I'll do the best I can to respond in a timely manner. I know the big world of root and custom roms can be a bit daunting at first, but that's why we help our newer members learn rather than gripe at them.
You guys can either post questions here or PM me, but I do ask that you try and figure it out on your own first. You'll learn a lot more that way. I promise, that's how I learned everything I know.
Devs, this goes for you too. If you need a last minute tester for something, I'm almost always available to help. I'm willing to switch roms on a dime and flash/push files to the phone. I'll be putting my GTalk ID on my profile soon, so you guys can reach me if need be.
I hope I can be as useful as possible to you guys! Happy rooting to you!

thanks brO!! its nice to see there still are some decent people who are here to help.. i respect that..
same here...good to see some more help for sure. But anyways ive just got one question here for ya and you may or may not be able to help me. ive tried to ask this in the forums and haven't got an answer so here it goes.
My phone gets warm up around the camera area almost immediately it seams like. it starts when i start using data such as scrolling around Facebook or downloading an app, etc...and was just wondering if that's normal or should i get a replacement? $590 bucks is a lot for a phone and i just want it right ya know.
Now the only reason i ask this is cuz my gnex does the same thing but it gets really hot after about 15 to 20 mins of using data.
thanks a lot for all your hard work and support for dummies like me that dont know anything lol...

[Q] Want to help devs translate apps[SWE]

Hello and good evening everyone.
I have received so much from these forums and the Android community in general. A while back I had a HTC DHD and contributed with bandwidth for ARHD(this is way back) as I want to give back to the community(donations aside ofc). Now I have a LG P990 and am trying to find a way to help out with something.
Recently I have been trying a lot of apps of all sorts. One thing I have noticed is the poor translations to swedish. It is sometimes even embarrassing to see how very well written apps and tools are just filled with down right badly translated text. Seeing how many Android users there are in Sweden I really think this is both strange and a bit sad.
I don't know if I' sticking my nose out here, but I want to help clean this up. Maybe I come off as arrogant in this post. That is not the intention here though. All I'm looking for is a way to try and figure out how to help out
Should I just start emailing the specific devs or is there a forum or anything where "translators" gather round? IRC channels maybe? Am I being stupid?

Yep, that's the best you can do. Actually, multi-language support isn't a difficult job, so I think the devs will be glad if you wish help them

Actually it seems pretty difficult to do since a majority of translations are less than perfect.
The problem with emailing devs is that they have no idea of who I am or what I am capable of. Did it a couple years back and the usual reply was "we have someone" or "no we don't need it".

[Q] Fixing ROM from Logcat

Hi,
I need to know how to find out where to fix errors that appeared in my logcat. For example: In ROM does not work sensor key "HOME". How do I find in the long text an error. And how do I fix an error. Please advise me...
Thanks for the replies...
Sorry for my bad English

No one can answer the question? No one know? This is Chef central android "Learn to develop", no? I really wanted to learn this.

You are too vague. You also fail to see that people have lives outside of sitting on a forum. How about to leave this thread alone, you go back and do some work and research yourself. Then come back and post everything you have tried and where you are stuck. Coming here and demanding support and putting down people who did spend the time to figure the system is a slap in the face. Like I said. Come back when you have done a little bit more research on your end.

My bricked kindle is dead.

So someone said that if your device dies it can still be detected by adb or something , could someone explain those steps or add in something else I can do to save this kindle.
Heres how I got it bricked.
I changed my build.prop and I forgot to set the permissions to 644, then after shutting down my kindle, it did nothing but pop up to the gray screen and then straight to the black screen.
Same here, but mine seems to have lost root in the process: when I try to mount and chmod through adb, I get "Operation not permitted" and "read-only file system".

Sounds like Amazon locked up ecosystem just got them a pile of returns...
How many threads do we need on same basic subject...because somebody didnt listen the first time somone was walking them though something that they probably shouldn't have been doing to begin with...without days of research...let's have 5 threads one first page of general discussing bricks caused by prop build edits... And people complain because they can't find anything....... right now I believe typing skills are completely overrated because people's fingers are working faster than their eyes and their comprehension level... It's easier to type a question over and over again and expect individual independent attention that it is to read obviously.... Not pointing fingers at OP but the few of us that are here to help are stretched pretty thin over all these threads discussing the same thing....end rant.

Its no problem because my new replacement kindle is already here but I know there will be a method soon, thats why I made this thread to get some advice for MY problem.
Also if the first method didnt work for me , what would you expect?
Could you also read every word in my starting thread please?

I'm glad you got your replacement ....
And like I said there are many threads here for the exact problem you had... Believe me you are not the only one that did this.. And now we have everybody that can help trying to chime in on 10 different threads to say the same thing to fix the same problems.. Your problem was not unique trust me. For example this thread was buried under at least 5 I brick my kindle threads and pushed to second page..read OP and last two page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588608... The point is there was no clear answer at the time you were seeking one and you were inpatient you walked away from the think tank to seek yet more individual attention and so did a bunch of people. When all along you were getting individual attention back in the main thread when you made a mistake and forgot to do something.... So let's complicate the already difficult feet in finding information on this forum by burying them under repeat threads that info and clarity are patchy at best because anybody that can help is trying to be everywhere at the same time...end rant
I knew once people start touch the prop there would be a flood of brickings on the forum. BE CAREFUL WITH BUILD.PROP.
Even I bricked a rom slot messin around. If your unsure about something, DON'T TOUCH IT.
Words of advice.

+1. I thought I did it NEasy way I used Rom manager lite to edit prop build just scroll down edit all lines properly reboot you don't have to mess with the permissions the application takes care of it...worked great. Probably could've used any prop build editing app.

Or how about just don't touch the build.prop at all and wait for Hashcode to update Safestrap?

I'd like to put out that your ranting isnt helping anything, maybe if you could be calm and just lead some people in a direction, everything can go nice, but no we have ignorant people like you that think they know all about knidles and stuff copy and pasting a bunch of links that dont work.
ok

Well the last link that I pasted work for me and it has helped at least six other people get their ADB working again if you would read all the other brick threads I have helped several people . My thanks meter didn't go from 5 to 48 in a week just because of the rants I have been a member here for a couple of years now and I never posted anything until the last few months no questions no threads all I did was read read read and I have solved all my problems. And I am no developer a simple mechanic. I currently own three HDX, 2, 7 inch 1 8.9 one S4 still on MdK bootloader running KitKat a Tab a 3 10.1 a tab 3 7.0 a Moto razr m with a unlock bootloader that was done a year ago and a note 10.0 all of them rooted and custom and those are just me and my girls devices not including the children's there are also both tab 2 7.0 and NO BRICKS ( currently of course) not one time have I started a thread. Or even thought adout it with a question that has been answered or at least asked in several other threads. Before doing my own homework and my own research. I did not type my first word on this forum until last few months. So excuse me if I believe a person is responsible for doing their own homework and their own research before asking others of their free time to come rescue me. The only thing that doesn't work here apparently is the comprehension level. And the refusal or inability to follow directions. And the wishes for a 1 click answer which currently is not available for this device. Happy hunting ..... I didnt find all this links " that don't work " by not doing my own research. I was the first person back in the thread u broke ur device in... To successfully follow his original and vague Op...with success and no problems...so like in yo terms whatevea

So as useless as you found my information I have got along just fine thank you. Just because I will not an expert and wasn't willing to hold your hand and spend hours typing all this stuff out personally I was referring you to perfectly good information that had work for me or have been known fixes for many others.. Don't blame me and my rants for your inabilities comprehend and follow directions.. Remember I am not the one that got in a hurry mess up my device and send it in for a false warranty claim due to my own negligence.

Please close or delete thread Moderator per first rule of forum poster did not search before post several threads were started before this one with same problem..poster did not follow though to a productive result.. Therefore containing no useful information thank you.
Still having a problem that has not been solved in any other threads, I downloaded the QTSP 9008 driver and still nothing.
Please dont reply unless you have some helpful information
this has turned into something else but rants seem to happen because theres no progress
Calm your tits 's. I said it before and I'll say it again to everyone. Impatience = brick. Patience = knowledge. Don't rush it. Read up on what your doing to your $200+ electronic locked device. If you bricked it Amazon can unbrick it so return it. They don't lose a dime. If we're unlocked we will have more to offer but as of now it is how it is.:fingers-crossed:

The Amazon site go to Kindle troubleshooting and it will show a place to leave your phone number if you would like them to call you they call you you answer you tell him it will not boot correctly and they will send you a refurbished unit. That is of course as long as it is not a black listed unit and you are the original purchaser so on and etc. or just be patient since you are the one that messed up your unit and do the responsible thing by fixing it yourself technically I would believe this would be a false warranty claim but do it at your own choosing and by the way they are making tons of project progress in the recovery of this device hopefully we will have something very very soon and you if you are still on the old firmware you may even get a full bootloader unlock.. Good luck whichever direction you do choose to go. just remember and heed the warnings on your next new device so you don't end in the same situation immediately like so many others here have done.

wow sorry bud but that's just way too much information to just drag over here to your thread it all depends on if you're capable of doing the job correctlyI would highly recommend going over to the development section and just start reading that is the only way you are going to know for sure is 250 peoples experiences not just one that comes over here to your thread and decides to give you a quick easy information. It is what it is.everything you dreamed of knowing about this device is here if you're willing to look for it...there are a bunch of very very recent development items that you're going to want to do your own homework on anyway not just one guy that thinks he knows it all come over here and help you screw up your device...good luck and enjoy your new Kindle
to sum it up there are risks with everything depending on ability to do proper research, comprehension level and ability to follow directions. .hell for some wiping their ass and tying their shoes have more risk than safestrap does when used properly.
@jimyv : I look around some similar thread, I can see many of your comment, you always typed many many things, but mostly no useful information for newbie point of view, even an useful link.
If you can not help them, just get out and no need to comment.
Sorry, but it is a little bit annoyed here.

well I'm sorry that you haven't found many of my comments useful obviously you haven't read very many of them but obviously some of my more aggravated ones have caught your attention you're welcome to look at my profile and check out my activity for the last year and a half I helped over a dozen people fix their bricked devices and contributed and many many helpful links which resulted in nothing but people trolling and being lazy and lazier and lazier I am simply trying to get people to do as I did and research and find their own information before adding additional clutter tothe forums...it's fine to be a noob everybody has been a noob at one time. And when you spend enough time here and with enough devices you will figure out that you just cannot help lazy people that are unwilling to find their own research at least to an extent. You're welcome to spend hundreds of hours of your time running around the forums cutting and pasting links to help the lazy ones but soon you will figure out that's all you are doing is enabling a growing problem. in other words the more I have helped them the less they actually knew orlearn because of not doing something the long way.
as some would say anything worth having is worth earning it yourself for the hard work / research. I noticed that most of the folks that do exactly these kinds of threads all of a sudden think they know everything. And then brick because they don't know near as much as I they need to because somebody came over to their one thread and gave them a little information or a couple of links. that they only partially read anyway. And then they are starting another thread. Titled PLEASE HELP I BRICKED MY DEVICE!!! identical to 30 threads that are dealing with the identical situations and .I have personally been up for several hours at a timetrying to help these types of people and they just simply cannot follow directions. And or most the time trying to translate it and screw it up in the translation somehow and then run away and start another thread because they still cannot get it right no matter how many people are trying to help them or how many links you give them. It's a waste of resources and everybody's time.it's just unbelievable to me that all this information is here already if they would just go and find them. they just choose not to. or believe they do not have the time to read them and expect special treatment and or catered to for some reason...I'm sorry I made the time and I'm a busy man and it seems disrespectful to me for anybody else to think they deserve different treatment
so to sum it up you are welcome to spend even half as much time in these forums researching reading and dragging pasting and copying links and see if you don't get a little bitter when you like to come here and find stuff yourself and its all cluttered up with repetition and threads starting with a question that was answered in the thread that was right below theirs READ THE THREADS and learn from other peoples experiences. Then you will adequately realize the risk that you are taking. You are not getting enough information when you start one of these threads to go doing the modifications that people are doing. All the information is here .
that's annoying it happens way too often and a lot more often than my snappy comments..

glad somebody still has a sense of humor lol I know from experience you can tend to get a little jaded hanging around here too much. I can't help but lurk though..I do own three HDX devices and development has been pretty much a dead fish.( until very recently I must say very cheesy) Compared to the other 15 devices that I maintain for myself and family. As a full-time mechanic and father I spend way too much time in here I know. and to those that have been insultedby what I have had to say I am probably speaking directly to you ,others probably just get a kick from me watching get aggravated. And many more out there that are silent know exactly what I am speaking of and refuse to help anybody anymore because said issues (much of the true talent) unfortunately,and that is the true loss.
