[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zewsan:
I'm trying to figure out a way to use my banks token application.

The problem is that it won't run, but simply say that it won't run on rooted devices for security reasons.

I'm running Slim ROM 4.3, and it has the toggle to disable root, but even after disabling adb/root, reboot, reinstall of the app, it still won't run.

What can the apps detect? A root checking app states that root is disabled.

Can these kinds of apps only run on stock kernels? Anyone that found some workaround?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
An age old question & one there isn't a solution for (other than running an unrooted stock phone).

Hello guys its my first thread in forum :P

This recoveries formatting sd-ext, sd-data and sd-cache directly by just data/factory reset.

They are for [MENTION=4649424]cute_prince[/MENTION]'s method.

YOU NEED TO ENABLE "USE RM -RF INSTEAD OF FORMATTING" IN SETTINGS OF RECOVERY

Please don't use them with non-oc kernel because you are not able to wipe yaffs2 cache and data partition with this recoveries. I made them for easy formatting.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mix1987:
Hi guys, I am experiencing very bad sound quality on Spotify. Firstly, the sound lacked bass. Secondly, when pushing the bass up on the eq, the volume got lower. It is as if Note 3 is regulating the sound level to prevent distortion. But this feature is over compensating for the increase in bass. With the eq settings set the same as my note 2 and volume at 70%, the volume is so low on my earphones that I can bearly hear anything. This is true for both earphones and speakers.

Even while not on spotify, the sound quality generally lacks bass and is overly strong on the mids and high frequency ranges which is very annoying. I am surprised that no one has reported this issue and I am by no means an audiophile. : D

On a separate issue, Poweramp is not working on my Note 3. Can anyone confirm this? I feel like I have a faulty unit. : (
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
I presume you have increased the default bitrate in Spotify?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mix1987:
Quality's on "extreme". I am pretty sure my unit's faulty. My friend's Note 3 does not have the same problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidlover287:
If you want bass I wouldn't recommend listening to music through the speaker as no phone speakers will have bass at all, They aren't designed to have bass in them, I'd recommend using headphones/earphones
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martin Jakl:
I have same problem. Generally sound quality of the Note 3 is really bad, much worse than what Note 2 had. And it doesn't matter if it's phone speaker or BT headset or wired headphones. It's really bad. Flat, no bass.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgoel13:
Hi Everyone.

I just got my N3 9005. I have made Apex Launcher as the default launcher. However, everytime I use the back button from a running app (tested with a couple of apps like Camera, Email etc.) the screen goes to TW UI and only if I press the Home button can I access the Apex UI. I have checked that Apex is the default launcher and not TW. Any advice? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnnorth:
Is TW still running in the background? Go to the multi-task screen and clear all apps or try clearing the memory in the ram manager screen.

I had to clear memory in the RAM Manager. Seems to be working now. Thanks a lot.
[Oppo Find 5] uishido:
I would like to know the opinion of you guys about the battery life of the Find 5 and possible future improvements.

Using the latest AOSP ROMS (in my case [MENTION=4683552]maxwen[/MENTION] AOKP, Aarons's PA 3.99 and CodefireX) I noticed that battery life is much better then on Oppo's Color ROM, yet it's still far from what I would expect from the device, I barely get more that 2 - 3 hours of screen time out of it on a daily basis. Compared to my last phone (S3) it's actually pretty bad.

Is there a chance that this is due to still poor sw sources from Oppo and might likely improve in the future or is the current battery life as good as it gets, what do you think?
[Oppo Find 5] sebbe312:
Well, I hope the battery life gets better overall, I get around 3-4 hours on screen time, and that's pretty darn good. Using Spotify/Soundcloud all day long aswell as webbrowsing, Reddit, Twitter and Facebook. I guess the battery life is OK, but I hope it'll get better.

This phone got almost the same batterylife as my S3 4G, which is pretty bad. :/

And I wouldn't hope for Oppo to improve their sources, since it seems like they've no idea what they're doing. ColorROM is still a huge mess!
[Oppo Find 5] uishido:
Thanks,

I agree that Color Rom is a nightmare but one can hope...

You seem to use your phone pretty much the same way I do but with somewhat better battery life. May I ask which rom/kernel you are using?

I'm currently on AOKP nightly from 28th September
[Oppo Find 5] sebbe312:
Using latest CodefireX rom with audio fix, I've disabled some system things which seems to help with the battery. Just give me a PM if you want to know exactly what things I've disabled and how I've setup my phone! :)

Cheers,

Sebastian
[Oppo Find 5] PipoMezenen:
I can't understand why everyone says he gets better batterylife with custom roms.

I tried the latest AOSP, PA, Cyanogenmod and gave them all a chance. I even changed the settings that hard, that i couldn't say it was a smartphone anymore... but i've never noticed better batterylife than with any color rom! And all the bugs on custom roms...

Actually i run Color ROM 1.0.1 (4.2.2)

Just bevore i ran Stable Cyanogenmod 10.1.3, PA 3.99, AOKP Maxween

Did you get other experience with the same roms or did you use other roms?
[Oppo Find 5] paperWastage:
for me, I'm using the CM10.2 by maxwen / etc... definitely much better battery life, especially when on idle/screen-off/sleep... I can make the phone last >24 hours (couldn't do it with the original oppo rom)

settings that I've been using on that kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45835020&postcount=152
[Oppo Find 5] PipoMezenen:
Ok. Yes, above 24h would be difficult with the color rom. But i never tried to reach 24h with cpu & gpu underclocking...

I think i use my phone relative often and with the ColorRom 4.2.2 i easily reach 12-14h.

And my thoughts on custom roms were, that wehen i have onscreen time i can watch them percents battery life falling and because of this i only got about 6-8h battery life with almost every Custom Rom.

I will post some screenshots of the batterylife with the ColorRom later this day and let you interpret them, ok? ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmootZ:
Hello there,

I just registered on this forum to hopefully resolve my problem with the Kobo Arc tablet. I apologize if any similar issue regarding this was posted. So basically, my Uncle bought me a Kobo Arc tablet about 2 months ago and I know quite alot of things about it. Due to my stupidity I couldn't play a game I really wanted to and so I edited my build.prop to make my tablet compatible with the game. In build.prop I changed the product model to: "GT-I9100", product brand to: "Samsung" and product manufacture to: "unknown". After this I restarted my device. As I did, the kobo arc logo appeared and then a never ending start-up boot. I restarted my device many times but still couldn't get my device to fully on. I entered recovery mode by holding the up volume and power button together and tried to reset to factory, but my Kobo Arc just still won't go pass the never ending start-up screen. I even tried to connect it to my computer but it doesn't recognize it. I'm assuming it's bricked, is there any possible fix for this? if so I need to know asap.

Someone please help me, it would be so kind, and I'll appreciate it soo much.

Thanks in advance

SmootZ
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmootZ:
Please, I'm in urgent need of help. I really want to go on my tablet again..

Any help to get my kobo arc to its original state and working properly again, I would be sooo grateful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermainZ:
Do you have a nandroid backup? If so, restore it.

Otherwise, do you still have access to your SD card (probably using an adapter and connecting it to your PC)? Try using AROMA FM to edit build.prop to the original values.

If not, I'd suggest installing ADB (GIYF) and using that to edit build.prop.

For the last two solutions, you'll need to use the shell, and use a text editor such as nano, pico or vi (depending on what's available). BTW, how did you edit build.prop?

You can also flash back stock/any ROM. Restoring to factory settings doesn't restore build.prop AFAIK.

EDIT: Just noticed your PC doesn't recognize your phone. That rules out solution #3. Are you sure the required drivers installed on your PC?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmootZ:
Yes, I'm sure. But when I plug my tablet into my PC through my usb cable it makes a noise connoting its connected but it won't appear.

Could you possibly give me instructions on how to do a nandroid back-up or something that will get my device back with the following condition:

-My device not able to be recognized on my computer

EDIT: When I connect my device to my computer it charges, but it won't appear on my computer or anything, if this helps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermainZ:
It's too late to make a nandroid backup now. Try using AROMA FM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmootZ:
Could you possible give any instructions, I'm kinda new to this stuff.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermainZ:
Click the link I posted.

Read the first few posts in full.

Ask about the specific part you don't understand.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmootZ:
I cannot even access my device apart from putting it in recovery mode since my device gets stuck at the start-up and loops, In addition I don't know how to access my sd card since my computer doesn't recognize my device as I said. Will this be a problem?and can I still do it?How do I access my sd card?

Sorry if this question seems stupid
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermainZ:
Is your device still not detected in recovery mode?

To access your SD card directly from your PC you'll need a special reader/adapter.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmootZ:
Nope, it doesn't recognize it even in recovery mode. What is this "special" reader/adapter and where can I get it? Could you provide me a link or something?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermainZ:
Well, I'm out of ideas. Just Google "SD card adapter".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmootZ:
Actually my device does not offer any external memory card slot. Meaning There is no support for MicroSD or SD cards on my Kobo Arc.

What shall I do now?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmootZ:
Hey Germain or anyone else,

Is there any other possible way I can unbrick my tablet from this? Any solution would be grateful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermainZ:
I'm out of ideas you could try yourself. I'd try triple checking the drivers on your PC and see if you can get ADB to work.

Is sending your tablet to repair an option?

EDIT: Can't you update to the latest update using fastboot?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eagleeyetom:
Hey.

First of all, messing with build.prop without backup wasn't the brightest idea in your life, but crap happens, like Forrest Gump used to say.

What is the exact model of your tablet? Kobo Arc? Kobo Arc 10 HD? Maybe Kobo released an update and you can update it directly by fastboot.

If not try to use Linux as it handles ADB much better than Windows, go to system and edit you build.prop back and wipe cache and dalvik cache. You need to have a working ADB to even think about reversing your changes.

Good luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmootZ:
Well thanks for the help.

Can I try taking this adb method without my device giving permissions for USB debugging? Since I haven't enabled this in my developer options as far as I know, in addition I cannot really check since my device is bricked but I'm 100% sure it's NOT enabled. Will this stop me from carrying an ADB method?

MP3 Player

Use TCPMP, it can do even more than just playing MP3's (Video)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] NinjaDonkey:
I use PocketMusic Player... I think it's the best that I've tried...

You're not gonna have any luck with anything that will accept button presses when the lid is closed - I get the impression this is something the device does in hardware (or OS). It's a bummer - I know...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hrb:
Maybe you didn't try TMPCP (freeware, formerly aka Betaplayer). I had PocketMusic Player installed and purchased before.

TMPCP is just superior and e.g. supports *.avi files (Movies)

You can find it here

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
I think Pocket Music Bundle is nicer to use as a music player though, has a few more options and nice tweaks here and there, and it works well enough on the JasJar despite a few display issues when browsing for files.

That said, I've uninstalled PMB and am currently using TCPMP, largely because I'm waiting for proper WM5 software to come along, and in the meantime I'm keeping software to an absolute bare minimum.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gavinfabl:
Pocketmusic has much better sound. And thats all tht matters to me
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
TCPMP gives out very good sound if you play about with the equaliser.

(I'll conceed that PocketMusic may be slightly better though, so when they update their software, I'll be there!!)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hrb:
I have PocketMusic Ver. 3.7 installed on the JASJAR. It works OK.

But I prefer TCPMP anyway. Problably a matter of taste.

And as said above, you have to play with the equalizer of TCPMP to make it sound good.

Hi folks,

Had my Z1 a week now from moving away from my trusty old Samsung Galaxy S2 and have an issue with the named app in the title "Navigon" and the Z1.

I have the app stored on my SD card and for the life of me can't get it to install :mad:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theonlymac001:
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.

You lost your warranty mate. If you ever flash anything with Odin (except official firmware), you tripped flash counter.

You most probable have I9500 Indian phone and there is no way to reset hidden flash counter. Triangle Away do not work on I9500.

can i install indian firmware on my s4 UAE and still recieve updates ..is it possible?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rl421403:
Official stock firmware does not trip counter. But how did you get CWM on your phone? By flashing CWM recovery with odin. Right. So it tripped counter.

You cannot, that's why it's HIDDEN flash counter. Right now there is no way to read flash counter or reset it.

Does not matter since it's GT-I9500. Although Samsung do not offer international warranty. Warranty is valid for UAE only and you might claim it if you are able to convince them about flash counter.

Can you check if you have GT-I9500, if you have GT-I9505 then you might have some hope.

I don't see a reason why you cannot. But the only issue you might face is with CSC, localization and modem which you can flash separately later. But apart from that you will be fine.

I think you should get updates and there should not be any problem as long as you keep your device official (no root, no cwm, no flashing), but I cannot confirm this because I have never tried.
