[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Reginalb124:
Mine started doing the same thing, I get the padlock when I have my SD card in. Mine is a Samsung 32GB card, the one that came with the Droid Charge, actually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loonie01:
Same here on the custom lock on boot. Is Samsung giving us I hint?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fu5ion:
should be noted that the unlocked padlock symbol DOES NOT mean the bootloader is unlocked. it just means that your system is being detected as custom in some way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
Also thought this as well but if your device manages to do this. Then it probably manages to switch from original to custom in device status as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shuddle13:
I actually factory reset mine with the memory card in it, and let it wipe that as well, and it seemed to resolve the issue. I've done multiple reboots over multiple days now, and haven't got the unlocked screen or the device status listed as custom. If anyone else is having this issue, and is still on complete stock un-rooted, and has an sd card installed, give it a try and let me know what happens. Obviously for those that have their phone unlocked and rooted, you will see this message ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
I got this message only the once when stock. And had it switch in device status a couple times the first day. But since then day two it didn't do it at all. Day three I'm rooted now so it doesn't matter. Waiting for some good custom roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CyberZion:
I am having problems with mine. Im rooted and when ever I reboot my phone it locks up at the padlock screen. It does not matter which rom I use. I have even unrooted it and rerooted and still run into the problem. The only way I can fix it is to reinstall the rom, boot up and then Im golden.. Untill I reboot.. Then it's stuck again on the padlock. Please help...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] urcboss07:
I have the same custom unlock logo but after I rooted my phone thus. I think it is normal when your phone is rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
This is a known issue with this device. Rooted or not. I'm rooted and have no issues and on a custom rom now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xfantome:
which custom rom are you running ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
When I ran hyper it showed on every reboot. Now that I run clean ROM odex. It never shows custom. Even though I am rebooted. And custom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stuartv:
I've had this same thing - the Unlocked - Custom thing. My phone is bone stock, as it came out of the box. Not rooted. No custom recovery, as far as I know.

But, I have been using a Sandisk 64GB UHS 1 card in it. I started having trouble with the card. Occasionally, it would show a message in the notification bar that the SD card was unexpectedly unmounted.

I called Sandisk and the first thing they asked me is "are you using a Galaxy S4?" They said they are going to replace the card, but it will be a month or so. They said they have an updated version of the card with firmware that is updated because of the S4. Because it's new, they don't have any stock yet.

So, maybe some of the issues being seen are essentially because of a problem with Sandisk microSD cards' firmware?

I have not seen the Unlocked - Custom thing since I took my microSD out.

Also, just for the record, my Camera was set to store pictures on the microSD when I took it out. After booting back up, when I went into the Camera, it would just say "Camera failed" and the Camera app would shut down. I had to put the microSD back in, boot up, go into Camera, change the settings to store pictures on the Device, then take the microSD back out again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nozzleman_85:
This has NOTHING to do with the micro sd or rebooting the phone. when you root and install TWRP recovery it does that. Your phone doesnt do ANYTHING on its own to make the bootloader unlock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stuartv:
Like I said above, my phone sometimes shows the Unlocked - Custom thing and it is exactly the same as when it came out of the box, brand new. It is not rooted and I have not installed any recovery or ROM. I even tried running Ti Backup, just to verify that my phone is NOT rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shuddle13:
I am also bone stock, no attempts to root or do anything custom to the phone. I tested and verified that it was my micro SD card. I had a Samsung 64GB UHS-1 microSD card, not Sandisk. But I took the SD card out, unlock symbol/custom status went away. Put the SD card in, unlock symbol/custom status came back. Tried this a couple times, same results. In my case, I got it the unlock symbol/custom status to finally go away while keeping my SD card by factory resetting the phone and formatting the SD card while in the phone. Haven't had any issues since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stuartv:
For the record, I sent my microSD back for replacement. I powered the phone off to take it out. I have been using my phone with no microSD card since then. And, since taking the microSD out, I have gotten the Unlock - Custom thing at least once.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zooyork0721:
its a custom boot logo, not unlocked have the same thing, i flashed a rom and it stayed like that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
He is not the first to report this. Others have had the same thing out of the box. .. Strange
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trident123:
It is definitely the SD card because I was running Cyanogenmod when it first popped up then restored stock and unrooted and it was still there. But once I pulled out my SD card it went away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stuartv:
And I've definitely gotten it with no SD card installed and a bone stock phone (no root, no recovery ever installed).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trident123:
I guess I should rephrase that I was able to fix it by changing my SD card, if it is coming out of the box that is really weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] portscan:
I get this too. I am rooted using the exfat formatting SD card method. I didn't have this out the box, so I wonder if it has something to do with SD cards in exfat format?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lightyear25:
Which do you prefer and why?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] richii0207:
I prefer stock touchwiz, 100% reliable and the TW camera takes better pictures than AOSP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pool_shark:
There is already a thread discussing this, though it has been derailed by the asinine "battery life" talk. Why people want to see how many days their phone can go without charging it I don't know.

I prefer aosp, but I use TW more because so far voice dialing over BT doesn't work on aosp and the volume is very low.

The theme engines on aosp as well as the reassigning soft button functions are very nice features.

I hardly use the s-pen or the multi window.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] doncerda:
I prefer AOKP (AOSP) simply because of the look and certain functionality... You have a lot more features in AOKP than TW. But it also depends on the TW based ROM you install.. If you like the s-note and multi windows functions of TW you're better off with that ROM but things like ribbons soft keys 4.2.+ only apps (dash clock for example) and general UI themes, if you like that and can sacrifice the volume and the aforementioned calling over BT than AOKP is the way to go.. But over all stability and stock features that identify this phone as a Note 2, then a TW based ROM is what you want.. I recommend Jellybeans ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dragonstalker:
To be honest. It really depends on the user. Samsung spent a lot of time putting in features for their own version of Android. SPen functions that work for the people that use them and extras that keep the phone at the for front of app ability. If you have no intention of using the phone for what it was built for,love the essential specs then AOSP is for you. I myself like the functions and capability of Sammy in this aspect. As a long time HTC lover and Avid Sammy hater, have come to like the built in Samsung features. I love to hate this phone. As a person that is currently with a group of others suing Sammy over the Behold. I actually like this phone. Like all other companies, Samsung has created a very decent hardware phone and the feature set from them has made it work even better. Do I miss my HTC Sense features. OF course. Sense makes phones easy. But I've learned to make it work for me. End result, AOSP is too bland and short for me. I like ANDROID because I can make it my own. Customization is almost as easy on this is the same as others. I don't like Samsung's blatant Apple icon copy, but I know how to make it my own.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] [GS]:
I prefer TW
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eraursls1984:
I prefer AOSP, but until there's no gps issues I don't run it all the time. A lot Iof people say there are work a rounds, but I've learned from other phones that if gps isn't 100% working it'll mess up when you really need it even if it has been working. I really love multi window but not enough to overcome everything I hate about touchwiz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshm.1219:
TW until PA3.5 is ported I use multi windows too much and as far as I know the sammy keyboard is the only one that supports one-handed operation AND swype.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] goodb0y10:
TW. I cant live without multiwindow
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lightyear25:
So let me get this straight. You hate Samsung, and you are commenting on a Note 2 Poll, you own the Note 2 and are a part of a group suing Samsung, but you say you love to hate this phone and later say you " I actually like this phone" And you say you prefer HTC but your sig reveals that you use a Rezound, which is not a very good HTC phone... pardon me but can I have some of what your smoking:silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Have you read why there is a lawsuit against Samsung for the Behold "scandal"?

Check it out:

http://gizmodo.com/5549228/samsung-behold-ii-users-consider-suing-over-android-20-snub

In my mind that's a frivolous lawsuit.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lightyear25:

AOSP doesnt show my external sd card
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jersey droid:
Just to throw out my 2 cents..... Coming from a GNex, I was running 4.2.2 and thought it was great. I was due for an upgrade and got the Note 2. I thought I was taking a step back with 4.1.2, but I have to say, everything just works! No issues with GPS anymore, no battery drain (although there is no comparison to the battery of the gnex next to the note 2). I am reluctant to flash anything 4.2.2, because I don't want to have to worry if the things I need my phone to do for both work and personal use is going to work. I have to say, I would love to flash a couple AOSP roms, they look like they are making progress on the bugs by leaps and bounds, but until I can "count" on 99% of my phone working without issue..... Ima sticking to touchwiz based roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TWong1200:
I prefer TW because of two main reasons.

1. Group texting

2. Better radio

With AOSP based roms, I get a constant roaming message at home. I don't get service here and have a network extender. Don't have this roaming issue with TW based stuff.

Group texting just doesnt work on AOSP. Yes I have the settings for group texting checked and all that I've read states that group texting works in 4.2.2 but I surely haven't seen it work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
Touchwiz for the fact I need to everything to function properly on my device. I use to play with AOSP alot but these days TW is spot on and all I use. I do like AOSP 4.2.2 on my Transformer...its my new crack flash device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nya2003uk:
PLEASE PLEASE CAN someone help me. I download the latest ROM from www.o2.co.uk/xda (Xda_II_172181) I also downloaded the instructions and followed it word for word. When i got to the stage to click on 'UPGRADE'. All seemed ok, but sudendly i got an error message saying there was a problem i had to disconnect my device from the cradle and reset and start again, so i did exactly this, but now i get the error message i get is >>>>

"The contents of this file cannot be unpacked. The executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted. Please obtain another copy of the file, verify its integrity, and try again."

(please see my attachment for screen shot)

I went back to the O2 site and downloaded the same ROM again and attempted to load it, again following the instructions given by O2 and got exactly the same error message. I have given my XDA II a hard reset but all i get on the display is 'USB V1.03' I cannot connect to ActiveSync, can anyone please offer me any advice.

problems....

I've successfully update the 1.72 Rom for my XDAII but my previous backup was not successful!! is it because different rom? The Hong Kong O2 told me to do a backup first, but after upgrade it seems that my previous Rom 1.62 doesnt' support... is that the case? :shock:
[Asus Transformer TF700] misterwal10:
I just purchased a dual band router because I have to use the 5.0 wifi channel in my apartment due to interference. My galaxy S3 picks up the channel but my tablet doesn't.

Is there any antenna mod/hack that I can due to pick up that signal? Any suggestions would help because it sucks not being able to use the internet when at home.

I am rooted and running Hairybean now but am open to any other roms also if that leads to fixing the problem.

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Unfortunately the transformer series don't support the 5GHz band frequency channels. You are stuck with 2.4 I'm afraid. :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eddie Hicks:
Did you try using different channels? There are apps that show what channels are being used near you. Try to find one for your phone to see if there are any channels not being used.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Asus: https://www.asus.com/Tablets_Mobile/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_Infinity_TF700T/#specifications

Wireless Data Network

WLAN 802.11 b/g/n@2.4GHz

IEEE 802.11a is the 5Ghz band. No 5Ghz band = No detecting 5Ghz signals.

As for the interference, you could try using a signal amplifier/repeater. Or moving your router (I've had to, there's iron framing inside the concrete walls.) to a point where the signal isn't blocked. If the interference is coming from other flats, try lining the wall with aluminum foil. (You can put wallpaper over it)

Also, use InSSIDer (PC) or an App to find out the channels used by surrounding networks, and change your channels to empty or less-used ones.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ne0zone75:
Hi all,

I've flashed CWM 6.0.2.3 instead of TWRP 2.5 to recovery partition after having unlocked the ASUS JB 4.2 bootloader using ASUS unlock tool V8. After that ASUS JB 4.2 was running well but not with root access AND i did the big mistake to use the wipe function in the bootloader ... since then i'm stuck in a boot loop with access only to CWM but i can't mount anything (internal or external sdcard) ! The good news is that i have still adb access under recovery => i run 'sudo adb reboot-bootloader' to access the bootloader menu which also provides me fastboot access ... the problem is than when i run 'sudo fastboot -w' in order to perform a wipe, the linux command hangs the tf300t after having erased and formatted the userdata partition (first one in the wipe process) !!!

Also, flashing system or recovery using fastboot works but i don't have the blue progress bar during the operation and the 'sudo fastboot reboot' command hangs the device ... for example if i run 'sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp.blob (i use the 42 version not JB or ICS one) i have a successfull output BUT fastboot is unable to reboot my device and when rebooted after pressing the power button for 8 secs i am back in CWM 6.0.2.3 :mad:

I've noticed this output when booting the tablet to the bootloader menu : 'key driver not found booting os' and i've no clue about the meaning of this message => it seems that if i successfully flash TWRP this message will disappear ...

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Have a nice day :)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huebinger:
I've exactly the same problem!

I tried to:

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system blob

fastboot says ok, but I can't reboot by:

fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot

fastboot says ok, but nothing happend.

On reboot the pad show the CWM interface.

I tried this:

Reboot the pad. When the pad activates the usb port, I tried: adb reboot-bootloader

Then the bootloader interface is shown.

A cold boot does not work.

I need HELP

I have rooted my S4 with the motochopper and it keeps on telling me to update the Superuser from clockworkmod and i updated thru the plays store and it still asks for an update how can i fix this? and if i install the other superuser by chainfire it doesnt have the SU binary installed.... please help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: SuperSU

Your problem is almost fixed, here is what you need: http://batakang.com/ftp/SGH-M919/MDB-SetUIDOff.zip

Flash it using CWM or TWRP recovery and reboot the phone and you will see the magic!

After doing this go to the play store and see if there is an update of SuperSU if there is then install it and reboot the computer.

(do not install superuser).

Good luck!

[Android Apps and Games] NicolasGramlich:
[MENTION=4417094]astarman[/MENTION] sorry I should make this clearer in the UI. There are two APKs, one for the server one for the controller. The reason for the two APK approach was so that you don't have to update the controller when the server changes and vice-versa. I'm more and more thinking this was a bad decision, since if even you guys are confused after reading that there are two packages and the instructions on the first start of the server app. :confused:

Server: org.anddev.aplay

Controller: org.anddev.aplay.controller

There is only one apk anymore, containing both the server and the controller.
