Android help

 Hello.
I have no Linux skills and looking for help with Android on the Toshiba Encore (WT8A).
The Android 4.4 image (baytrail for ASUS T100) can boot Android on the Encore feels fast and smooth. Some things don't work so I made this post if someone knows how to fix these problems.
The biggest problem is that I can't get WiFi to work in Android (guess T100 have another WiFi chipset).
The other problem is that the image is only displayed on HDMI (external monitor), not on tablet so it is diffcult to use touchscreen, mouse recommended (maybe something that is easy to fix).
There is also problem with Bluetooth, sensors, camera, MicroSD and physical buttons (not high priority for me).
More info and links to Android image here: 
android-x86
If anyone got any info on how to fix these problems or have an updated image for Encore, please post here.
Dan

Thnx for reply.
I am afraid I don't know what Supplicant is in Linux. I have very little knowledge in Linux, that's the reson for my this thread.
Android-x86 is an open source project to bring Android to x86 computers (built on Linux). I have also tried for support on Linux forums but it seems there are few active Toshiba Encore owners there, thats why I tried this forum instead.
I don't think what is missing is very complicated (I can be wrong). Someone with knowledge in Linux just need to add the correct drivers and to the install image. I tried the IWCONFIG command on my Encore (booted Android in debug mode) but it didn't work (command missing or I did somethong wrong).
Most "critical" thermal control on the tablet is managed by hardware, not software, so I am not very concerned about overheating. It can always be good to observe how the system is working, if cpu is throttling, gets very hot or consumes battery fast.
Options for Android-x86 can be Intels Android-IA (problem: 64bit UEFI installer) and ConsoleOS (support for Dell tablets but unsure about Toshiba Encore).

    How doesn't it let you?

  • No more mail on my android, i'm curious what you expect us to do? switch to gmail? guess so.

    Does anyone know a way around this problem?
    I've tried reconfiguring IMAP nothing works.

    And to the above experts:  Listen to people once in a while.  Sometimes they are correct.  And sometimes you are not.  Not a big deal.  Just be open.
    Perhaps you should try listening once in a while. The Apple Support article posted above has the ONLY settings required to successfully setup an iCloud email account on ANY IMAP capable email client, on ANY platform.
    People here fully understood the question - it's hardly a tricky one - and gave the only answer possible i.e. the correct settings. There is only ONE correct answer - posted in the very first reply by Roger.
    Just because its not working for you on your Android devices (despite working perfectly well for many other people on other Android devices, Windows phones, Blackberrys etc.) doesn't mean people here don't understand or were wrong.
    Get it through your head that the settings ARE CORRECT. There are no other settings to be had. If you or your Android phones can't cope with the setup of a simple standard IMAP email account using SSL, then that's the fault of the Android OS or yourself - not Apple or anyone here.
    Go to an Android forum or read your phones manual to learn how to setup an email account on your device - you've got the correct mail server settings, now learn how to input them correctly on your phone.
    A quick 2 second Google search also led me to these Android Help sites:
    http://textbookgeek.com/setup-icloud-email-on-android-phones/
    http://www.wowtechy.com/how-easily-setup-icloud-email-android-running-ics/
    http://blckaapl.wordpress.com/2012/05/28/configuring-icloud-mail-on-android-smar tphones/
    And guess what? They all state exactly the same settings as Apple themselves give in the above support article.

  • From profile backup: Restoring bookmarks, most visited pages and reading list

    Using the firefox mobile extension "Copy Profile" I have saved a copy of my profile to the sd card. Now I would like to restore selectively:
    - bookmarks
    - history
    - reading mode saved pages
    - most visited pages
    While restoring the relevant files (using root access on android) helped, I am suffering from these probems:
    - The order of the bookmarks is mixed up: I had ordered them with the desktop app. Where is this order stored?
    - The "most visited pages" appears to be a random selection from the history.
    Any ideas?

    Solution was to copy the files mentioned here:
    [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
    And here:
    [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/950536 Extracting bookmarks from Android mozilla profile backup]
    Important:
    The file ownership of all files copied back into the profile directory have to be adjusted. On my machine they defaulted to "root" owner which prevented firefox from accessing them.

  • What does one do when they take my cc information and my payment is not showing up and basicly told sorry for your luck

    Well they took my information at 11:30 today and when I try to make a call they say I have to verified my numbers and that there is not enough money in my account and when I try to get a hold of a supervisor they where rude and I have been out of work for about four weeks and part of the job you have to have a cell phone so than k you Verizon I am going to lose work for a screw up on your end
    Android
    HELP!!!!!!!

    It evidently was told to you that there was not enough funds in your account
    If they cannot receive the payment they do not give you service.
    Is this prepaid or post paid service? If you owe Verizon money the odds are until the account is current that device will stay off.
    1-800-922-0204 call them and find out. Or call the credit card company or is it debit card? Call the bank.
    Good Luck

  • Lenovo X2-EU rom for Lenovo X2-CU phone?

    Hello to all,
    I have bought Lenovo X2-CU phone (dual-sim) and was wondering two things:
    1. Is the Lenovo X2-EU rom for dual sim phone? And if yes, could it be flashed in the X2-CU phone?
    2. Why isn't the lenovo suite capable of contact sync with outlook on pc directly. (Correct me if it is, but I haven't found a way..)
    3. Is there a way to have the theme center in English language? I only get Chinese..
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I have the same problems, more or less. I don't know how usefull that will be, but heres what i found out.
    1. About the EU rom, yes you could flash it but it's single sim only. You can check more info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/lenovo-vibe-x2-t2897967
    2. Regarding this, I can't say any thing, have not even try it.
    3. The "theme center" is a root app and you eather have to flash a diferent ROM or you have to root your phone, delete the app and install a flashable zip with the RAW apk for the EU version of the app. To my knowage such still can not be found. You can check here for more inforamtion: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/K-S-and-Vibe-Series/quot-Theme-Center-quot-installation-and-use/m-p/184...
    I know it's not quite helpfull, but i hope it's informative.

  • Choosing a Phone

    To choose a new handset is not the hardest thing in the world to do, but as so many people struggle to do so , here's a couple of tips.
    !-Go to a phone retailer and play with a couple
    2- write a list of requirements on a piece of paper and use Google to find handsets that fulfill the requirements.
    3- Visit independent tech websites to read reviews, NOT Apple, Nokia, Samung, HTC, Android help sites, as you will get a pejudiced view, as EVERY handset EVER made can have and does have issue's, so the people you see on them will have an axe to grind ?
    4-Make up your own mind, what someone else thinks has no relivance what so ever, they don't live your life and will very probably have different needs to the ones you have.
    5- don't buy a smart phone if you can't get access to data, it's pointless !!

  • Email Notification Glitch || Motorola Droid 4; v.4.0.4 ICS || ongoing as of 17 January 2013

    For the past  past week or so my Droid 4 has been repeatedly and continually (non-stop!) providing "new" Email notifications when I have none whatsoever, or only one new mail. The notification I receive is that I have hundreds of new mails when either one or no new mails have delivered to my mail account (for reference, hundreds of notifications per hour). Not only that, but when I open the new mails I cannot access the contents of the mail I have received, and there are always at least three to five duplicates of each "new" mail, sometimes more.
    I have researched this issue via Google Search: Droid4, ICS and Android help communities and sites and now on this forum. I have attempted to troubleshoot to rectify the issue by disabling my Email notifications, powering down the device, powering-up again, then re-enabling my Email notifications, all to no avail. If I receive no resolution here @VerizonWireless Community, my next course of action will be to enter the same information and request for assistance w/Motorola.  
    In my research on this topic I did find the Motorola Droid 4; v.4.0.4 ICS rollout documentation, which was no help to me for this particular issue, but from which I did learn some neat things about that software version which I'd not previously known and which were helpful to me in other ways. That file is linked below as well as the attached .pdf file in hopes that it might be of help to others.
    I would most certainly appreciate any and all help and/or suggestions from anyone here at the Verizon Community.
    Thanks so much and kindest regards,

  • Audio recording distortion, phone heating

    When recording a video in loud places (like concerts), audio recording is very distorted, simply inaudible. I would like to know if there is a way to control microphone's input level. Also, the phone gets very hot with the simple use of Facebook. Please, solve this problems. I don't know if newer versions of android help. It's a shame that we can't get the incredible potential this phone has.

    Try reparing your phone through Sony's software for PC/Mac. Note that this will erase all your data so back-up!
    Good luck.

  • Speed is very much less than promised

    I am paying for 45Mbps and when I place my laptop right beside the modem, the speed is not even crossing 25Mbps. Customer care team tell that its acceptable. Speed in my bed rooms is not even crossing 10Mbps and hardly touches 15Mbps. I dont really understand why am paying something close to 65$ per month. I have no other choice except continuing with this "expensive with slow internet". Is there any solution for this?

    Laptop next to modem? Does that mean you are plugging into RG using an Ethernet cable or just testing wireless based on distance and obstructions? Hardwired (Ethernet) with no TV service on, no other internet  devices connected (phones, game systems, Netflix, etc) and using speed test.net to a local server or two (within 100 miles) will give most accurate reading..... Time of day (network route/congestion) can also result in difference. Wireless interference due to number of other units (2.4 GHz crowded band, purchase a dual band to move to 5ghz frequency) (WiFi analyzer for android helps), the channel your on (changing channel 1,6, or 11 by accessing RG at 192.168.1.254), the software your using for your wireless device (do you have most current WiFi adapter/software), objects signal has to go through (air, glass, drywall, plaster, mirrors, bricks, metal such as heat ducts/refrigerator).... Can all contribute to less speed performance.  Bottom line hardwired speed matters, wireless is just convince... If it needs to work at desired speeds, run Ethernet to devices, if devices are only wireless then best case is best case but not guarantee to reach 45.

  • I need to sync a new desktop to my laptop and android device. I have tried everything in your help section and cannot make it happen

    I just got a new Comp and my old one tanked. I am trying to recover my firefox setting and book marks and such. I have tried doing the sync.... but it doesnt seem to want to. I am trying to sync it with my spare laptop. What I really want to do is sync it with my old laptop whose hard drive I actually had installed as a backup drive in the new system. Its complicated. I actually have the old comp synced to my android phone... but can not get it to sync with the new comp either. Its making me nuts, I have so many book marks and to add them all by hand is going to suck!!! I got through firefox's walkthrough, and it says to go to the Firefox button and select Options, then select the Sync Panel... that is the first problem! there is not "Sync Panel" on either the new or the old comp. It does not exist. I can select "set up Sync" but that is not under options, it is separate... and get the choice Create new account, or I have an account... then I can either enter my account info and a recovery key (which i dont have and cannot find) or I can get a 12 digit code to enter to sync the other device. problem is, both computers generate a code, when one is supposed to have a blank space so I can enter the sync code. Some times I get the blank space on the comp that I am trying to sync the old one too... and I enter it and nothing happens. HELP.

    Thankyou. I actually figured it out partially myself. I simply opened a new Firefox sync account so that I could sync my backup laptop to my new desk top. The issue here is that I am dealing with 4 devices.
    1.'''Original Laptop''' (which is no longer functional, though I have the harddrive installed as a backup drive in my new tower... it was cleaned of all bugs prior to install)
    2. '''My backup Laptop'''. I have been using this device for the last 3 weeks. Was unable to sync it with my old one before it went down, so I have since added many bookmarks as such to the onboard firefox browser.
    3. '''My android phone''' (Samsung Note 3... top of the line current device) to which I actually have the bookmarks from my '''original laptop ''' synced. That sync was on my now old sync account
    4. '''My New Desktop''' Just out of the box tonight. I have now synced my backup laptop to this device.
    The reason I started a new Sync account with a different email address is because I could not get anything to work as the Firefox instructions said to. So once I setup a new one everything worked perfectly as far as syncing from the backup laptop to the desktop. I finally was actually shown the previously mythical "Sync Pannel" which would not show before.
    My question is this now:
    I see that one of the options when sycing allows you to blend the saved data with both devices (assuming that both have bookmarks and browsing history etc.)
    I need to be able to add in the sync data that is stored on my android to the other devices, most importantly the desktop. Now that this data is in two separate sync accounts... is that possible?
    I had issues with both the desktop and the backup laptop being able to log into my old sync account even after I was successful in resetting the password. I tried to use the recovery key once I reset the PW and i copied it exactly and even regenerated a new one. The sync system would not accept the copy and pasted exact copy of the recovery key, it kept saying invalid key?
    I would really like to get my sync data from my android to sync and blend with the new sync account as I have many many bookmarks on the android that were on my old laptop.
    I hope that this makes sense... It is very tough to explain!
    Will appreciate all help.

  • I have an android phone which is now dis-connected; I traded in for an iphone5c, which, by the way, I love.  Now I am trying to figure out how to retrieve the many photos on my silent android and move them onto my Macbook Air.  Help?

    Does anyone have advice about how to move my photos from my android phone to my Macbook Air?  The phone is no longer in service (I traded to an iphone) and I can't locate my cable--which may not have helped, anyway.  I tried inserting my micro memory card into a USB reader, and the computer will not acknowledge any photos from the card.  Thoughts?

    I think you will find the cable to be very necessary.
    For some phones - samsung for example, you may need to down load their manager program (I think samsung's is called Kies or keis)  A bit like how one uses itunes to connect to a iphone. 
    Once you have the cable and are connected, you should see a file system and look for the DCIM directory.
