Hi, I've owned this phone for a couple of weeks now and though id give it a good test and check forum answers for as much as I could before asking but still have a few questions
1. Whenever I get a text or email, even if i have read it on the quickview (first screen) it will remain as unread until i click on it and bring up the reply screen (messages) or the full inbox view (emails) can they be registered as "read" automatically without doing the above?
2. Is the endless pursuit of Flash player actually worth the effort, I've had opera 9.5, 9.7, 10 including flash lite 3, used the fixoperaflash application following word for word and still dont get flash on websites. My latest try is 9.7 and fixoperaflash and I am yet to see a working flash video. Only difference is when I go to you tube now and click on the video it loads the inbuilt youtube app and somehow forgets what video I was wanting to look at, also the "bookmarks" button has screwed up now and takes me onto the net where it crashes and wont allow exit.
3. Can I deny networks, sometimes It will come up with a list of networks im not interested in seeing or it trying to connect to eg. I have two open networks at work, one works fine for wi-fi the other doesnt. Sometimes I catch it connected to the none working network and have to manually connect to the one I want
Answers to any of these questions would be much appreciated
Thanks

hello fellow xoomers!
im trying to watch hulu on my brand spanking new xoom wifi that i purchased from bestbuy yesterday. i've installed the flash and installed Flash_10.3-Hulufied_BRDizzle.apk
but am not able to goto about:debug on the browser. is anyone experiencing the same issue?
There is a special version of flash you need to install. Funny, b/c I am looking for it now
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Go to the navigation bar and type in about:debug and hit enter - nothing will seem to happen. Then go to settings, debug.
For me, I bought PlayOn which is running on a Windows machine in my house. With PlayOn I can watch Hulu, CNN, Comedy Central, Netflix, Amazon VOD, and local media files. Well worth the invenstment.
i did install the special flash version. i cant post web links since im a newbie, but if you google - watch hulu on xoom. you will find driod life - how to watch hulu on the motorola xoom site with instructions, but its not working for me.
settings, debug?
settings, applications, unknown source is already checked.
He means the settings in the browser itself... it's in the upper right. Running the about:debug just unlocks extra settings
on the browser itself, on the upper right, settings. i only see general, privacy & security, advanced, and labs. no debug. do u guys have debug???
ok, i followed these instructions and debug showed up in settings on the browser

1. Open the Android Honeycomb browser on your tablet.
2. In the address bar, type: about:debug and press enter.
3. Now open the browser's settings by tapping the icon in the very top-right corner of your screen (it looks like four horizontal lines) and selecting "Settings" from the drop-down menu that appears.
4. On the left side of the screen, tap the section labeled "Debug."
5. On the right side of the screen, tap the item labeled "UAString," then select "Desktop."
6. Press the back button (in the very bottom-left corner of your screen) to exit the browser's settings.
7. In the browser's address bar, type: about:debug once more; this will disable debugging mode and return the browser to its normal state. [Optional] If you do this step you will need to redo this step every time to enable Desktop Browsing.
Here's a tip for quickly enabling desktop mode in the future, if you wish to add it to the first post:
8. Do these one-time actions to create a shortcut to "about:debug" after completing through step 5 above:
A. Open Bookmarks and choose Add Bookmark
B. Edit the properties of the bookmark to set Label to "about:debug", Address to "about:debug", and leave Add To as "Bookmarks" so it's at the top level.
9: To quickly toggle desktop mode on and off in the future:
A. Go to Bookmarks and select "about:debug". This doesn't enable the mode, but puts it in your address bar.
B. Touch the address bar to give it focus, and press ENTER or tap the GO icon. This will turn Debug Mode on or off depending on its last state, and if you previously enabled desktop mode... toggles that as well.
Note 1: Verify your mode by tapping the Settings icon. If you see "Dumping navigation cache" and "Dump V8 counters", then Debug mode is enabled.
Note 2: You do not have to drill down and change desktop settings each time you toggle debug mode - all of your debug settings from your last session are rememberd.
i've change the UAString to desktop and it displays - hulu requires Flash Player 10.0.32 or higher. Please download and install the latest version of the Flash player before continuing.
bummer, it doesnt work.....
Thank you for posting the instructions for the shortcut .
Make sure pluging are always enabled . I also had to uninstall Adobe Air .
has anyone able to watch hulu with 3.1 and adobe flash 10.3?
I am on 3.1, using the "hulified" version of Flash 10.3 found in the development section. I use DolphinHD browser exclusively for hulu with good results.
Using a rooted 3.1 wifi on BRD Tiamat 1.4.4, flashed with ua string perma change, using the Hulufied Flash installed.
Plays Hulu without any issues.
Go to Desktop, Settings, Manage App, All App, Browser, and Clear cache, clear data, and force stop. Open back up the browser. Then redo the about:debug directions on here again.. It should then work for you. Some how Hulu saves data to your phone identifying it as a mobile device so when you do install the modified flash version, it still thinks you on mobile.

i guess im going to have to root my xoom.
Is anyone elses video choppy when they play hulu? I got the mod working, but the video doesn't play smooth long enough to watch an entire episode. It will start out playing fine for the first couple minutes, then it will start to play choppy and eventually the video image will just freeze. The audio will continue, but the video stops.
try a different browser like dolphin mini. I use that just for hulu.

(not a noob but possible noobie question)
Hey,
Where did you get the uastring perma fix from?
I have been successful to root my US Xoom WiFi 3.1 using BRD's method as well as putting tiamat 1.4.4 on it but cant seem to get framework-res.apk working properly. I used this method here but i ran into a few problems:
-desktop uastring opens websites in desktop mode fine BUT
-when i got to the address bar to do a google search, the search doesnt go through.
instead it opens a url titled "http://friday/... (cant remember the rest of this).
Would you be a doll and send me a link to where you found a good framework-res.apk? or send me yours
Thanks in advnace!

I just have quick question, i just got my nook yesterday at got it updated to new firmware, i see the several rooting options for nook and im sure i can install any of them without probs what i was curious bout is stability of the different rooting problems with new 1.1.2 are they all pretty compatible to new firmware or is there select few, thanks for any help.
they are compatible. 1.1.2 has improvements on wifi issues, not much changes on the other things.
ok i got it rooted i cant seem to do anything on it the market says "a server error has occurred", opera mini wont even boot at all the scree just flashes for second and the other browser loads and shows internet but when you touch anywere to type it crashes back to main menu. Im tryin to figure what went wrong i followed the directions on TouchNooter 2.1.31.
also youtube wont reboot up screen just flashes. When i first did install it was working ok i got to my gmail account got it set up etc. is touchnooter just outdated and use a different method to root now instead?
ok i got it unrooted and back to original 1.1.2 format. Do i follow the instructions on that still or is there new way to root the nook? Im not best in rooting files but i can follow information posted. Can someone please direct me to most reliable working rooting method for nook 1.1.2? Also i was curious i never used android before all the pdf options you can get from market, is it even worth rooting nook if thats prime reason, most pdfs i have has alot of image heavy files or am i just better off leaving it unroot use adobe to rebuild them instead?
opera mini wont work, i couldnt make it work tho. try opera mobile. to solve market issue, you have to wait 1+ day.
search wont work even after then.
try to check gmails after root, if it works then its ok. dont wory about youtube, since you wont watch any video there.
you can use multitouch + norefresh hack + ezpdf reader after root, that is perfect for pdfs that contains images and such.
check it out: watch?v=6pBPsyno5PY
ok i used minimaltouch this time got it rooted and working having some bugs not sure how to fix it, i know reg msrket you cant search in it so i use the search market app when i try to click on a app to download in search app it flashes attempts to go to next page were download is but fails and goes back to list of search. also the my apps button does same thing it goes back to previous screen in act of will. I also like to access the regular home to get to my reg nook books in my library but when i do it goes on its own accord back to android home, could osmeone help me with those minor bugs?
heres more detailed list on whats going on hopefully somoene will have idea whats wrong so i can fix it than reroot for third time. when you hit the N button and select home it goes to nook home for split second then instantly goes back to android home, when you hit library it goes to library but constantly refreshes non stop you cant select any menus or no ebooks show up in list so you have to rego back to android home. i installed search market for while i was able to download off android market, but now after i do search in searchmarket and select "file1" it does same as home button it goes to next page with download link for split second then it instantly goes back to list of search results. and in regular market when you hit "my apps" it does same thing again it goes to your list of downloaded files for split second and then goes right back to market main menu i cant go anywere no matter how many times i click it it keeps going back to previous menu non stop. gmail still works and syncs and i can access my pdf program i installed but i cant read any of my nook books cant do single thing on market cant go home or to library i also installed nook mobile it works just fine but everything else listed wont work, what could cause this glitch / bug, i followed directions to minimaltouch to letter and i didnt have single hitch during install all way through but now its like this. Is there anyway i can fix this or just keep rerooting 100 times till it finally works?
nevermind
I have a few questions, not necessarily specific to the note 3 but i just bought one and this android 4.3 is very new to me, so here they go.
1. When i pair another smartphone via bluetooth, is there any way to make devices "trusted devices" such that when they attempt to send me files, they will be accepted automatically without prompt? (like on symbian)
2. When i open the camera app, the screen brightness jumps to 100% regardless of the brightness setting. Is there a way to disable this?
3. Back on my last phone (4.0.4) the built in browser synced my bookmarks with chrome. Where has this feature gone?
4. A site which i occasionally use has a flash based photo upload section. I've tried Dolphin browser, Chrome, Default browser, none worked, neither when i installed flash 11 manually. The site works perfect on my last phone.
Thanks for the answers/help in advance.
We got the official EMUI 5 on Nougat for Honor 8 distributed officially. This thread hopefully serve to list all the bugs encountered for the official release of EMUI 5.
My routine after receiving an update is to start fresh with a factory reset. The OTA update went fine and the device was running great. However after backing up everything to google and Hisuite and doing a factory reset i found a bug
During the initial phone setup after reset, i was able to connect to my wifi and login to my google account. Then the option page between choosing restore from backup and set up as new phone i tried restoring from backup. The phone failed to connect to my google account. It cited no internet connection. I tried using my mobile data and my internet from Mifi device without success. I ended up choosing setup new device and i found all my internet connection is running fine.
I tried factory reset a few times including going to recovery clearing th cache and factory reset. This is a stock device. No custom recovery or unlocked boot loader.
I found that i cant kill aplications when screen is looked and as well with aplications that draining my battery to much.

Can't use SD card as internal storage and I could on the beta.
Now SD card is seen as portable storage.
Phone feels very quick and battery is lasting much longer

I backed up my phone also with google and i restored it successfully. My SD Card is also my internal storage. Do you guys downgraded your phone to MM before installing N?

Ok easy fix just enabled hdb and than disable it again and now its showing everytime than i connect
Requests and/or bugs:
1) GUI / Settings to Disk that shows & allows setting of encryption, including user password/pin different than actual password.
a) in lieu of this, it should work with the $vdc commands from adb shell or terminal emulator
2) GUI / settings : Adoptable storage interface and ability for the OS (Just like plain android 7, 6, 7.1) to show the actual "pseudo-internal" storage and however your decided to subdivide your sdcard (ext). Apps should go to the least full of the int or ext SD.
3) Release your source code (the hostage crisis should be over by now). You've done nothing to help development yet. There isn't even a TWRP that works with Nougat encrypted. Get the blobs as needed by devs out there. It's starting to look like you just lied about being interested in the development scene.
4) Notifications on lockscreen (I think that's enough to say).
5) Don't even bother to put in settings that don't work or work correctly. There are many of those.
It's a start

I find an annoying bug in b360 is what follows: when you click on a three dotted menu of an app like WhatsApp, earlier you could just drag you finger on the page below the menu to exit it and at the same time use the page, now you have to do one tap to exit and then you can use the page. It's a step more and it's annoying.
Sometimes expanding and shrinking the notifications of a media player gives strange results, like dimensions not optimised or stuck on fading animation.
When you click on three dotted menu of an app in the PlayStore, it leaves a grey mark above the menu. Of course, as I said earlier, to exit the little menu you have to do a single tap outside it, otherwise you cannot simply begin using the page below to make the menu disappear from itself.
Please Honor quickly release an update to fix these bugs. Oh, and I agree with who said that your promise to collaborate with developers is starting to sound like a lie. I come from honor 7 and honor 6, but won't buy the next if you don't get things right with Honor 8.
Huawei's own backup app doesn't work on EMUI 5. I am used to titanium backup but on EMUI 4.1, using the built-in backup and restore app for data, apps, call logs etc was very convenient. However on EMUI 5, this app can't be downloaded from the Play Store too as it's target API is upto MM only.
I have some bugs
First With the WiFi, I have a router belkin with 2.4 and 5 ghz bands and when I connect to anyone I can't connect to the other, i need to forgot to connect to the other one or connect to 5 ghz band and go far when the 5 ghz don't appear and connect to the 2.4 ghz doing that I can connect to the two bands.
The other bug it's with the option to get down the notification bar with the finger, sometimes won't work I need to go to the settings and work again.
The other bug it's with the battery saver option to low resolution to 720p wont work.
And finally, in my case the adb USB debugging don't work, in my computer show me offline and in the phone don't appear the window to allow permission
1) SmartKey gesture, swipe down to show notification panel doesn't work sometimes. Workaround is to not use the SmartKey once and then it starts working again.
2) Stock message app. Replying from lockscreen is buggy. Sometimes it opens the app and sometimes not. When it does open the app, and type your reply from the keyboard, it doesn't register it. Workaround is to hide the keyboard and type again.
I can confirm the wifi bug. It took a long time to happen (which is why it was probably missed during testing) but at some point during the night it disconnected, and I had to restart to be able to reconnect.
Other bug I have in beta and now in official it's some music files when I use stock music app play with no sound, but use vlc and play well all music
