lockscreen

Hi guys, hope you can help me,

When my s4 was on kitkat, if i received a message but i take the mobile after a few seconds (when the screen turns off), it would vibrate and the screen will light up automatically

But after the lollipop update when i move my mobile , it will only vibrate, but the screen will not light up. Can anyone tell me how to enable it to light on automatically again.

Wrong section.

Anyway here's the deal. I think Samsung users similar framework for a version of Android, at least for flagships.

What I mean is if SX is updated to Android x.y something and if SX+1 also is in the same version of Android, then the underlying framework will be similar and available settings will be similar as well.

So why am I saying this? Simple, you can't solve the problem.

But try this. If you have a rooted phone, install "SQLite Editor" and open the app. Find "Settings Storage" app and open database "System". There will be all settings related to the phone and some not related to the phone. Changing one of the value or some of the values can get you the desired result. If I'm not mistaken, it was "auto unlock lockscreen" or something. Just edit the corresponding value to 1 and save. Restart the phone for immediate effect.

I don't give any guarantee on how it works and beware, don't change any values you're not sure of. If you have experimented a little, you'll know that backing up app data and editing the values is safer because you can edit any value to experiment and then restore the backup if something goes wrong.

And by the way I haven't tried editing the value given above because I like the way it is now. I was irritated with screen waking up automatically. But I've edited other values in the same database.

Edit:

When I say beware when you change the value, I don't mean that you'll get you phone disfunction or bricked. It's only because you would sometimes forget what you've edited. If you can note down all the edited values there's no problem.

thnx for the help, but i do not want to root my phone and its smart alert feature which i meant
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balu25int:
I understand that it's "Smart Alert" cause I use it. What I'm saying is that in Kitkat enabling this in Settings would change the value of say 'n' fields in the Database to 1. Now enabling the same would change 'k' fields to 1 where k is less than n.

Edit:

An example would be that even though "Air View" is enabled in S4, you can't see any indication to where on screen it's pointed by the finger. Enabling "Air view pointer" or something in the database would show a blue pointer in the app that is "Air View" enabled, to the place where it's actually pointed, similar to Note series.

Refurbished phone means that the phone hardware is redesigned. I don't mean that you replace existing motherboard to a latest one or something similar. To understand this topic please visit

www.ebay.com/gds/Is-a-Refurbished-Cell-Phone-Right-for-You-/10000000177629584/g.html

Setting Knox 0×1 has nothing to do with refurbished phones. Knox is something that is based on security of the device. There are many articles on Knox. Use Google.

And one more thing. If your phone is taken to service center for any hardware problem then most probably it'll be identified as refurbished. There's an app called "Phone Info" for Samsung in Play Store.

If you are on a stock lollipop rom, use odin and flash a tar file of a stock kit kat rom.

If you are running a custom lollipop rom, just wipe it in recovery and flash a custom lit kat rom. Just make sure you dont have a radio mismatch that is incompatible with kit kat.

Can Knox be removed (patched) or otherwise excised from the firmware? (Perhaps, similar to patching RPC2 DVD-drive firmware to remove the region set)

If so, it may be wise to patch firmware Knox-free prior to doing something that may trip Knox.

Alternately, perhaps Knox may be patched to fail to permanently wet its 0x1 status (similar to patching DVD-drive firmware to RPC2 auto-reset).

Be carefull with system apps like Knox etc.

So Knox cant be easily uninstalled, without root youre only able to deactivate it. If you got root permission, then there are several tools for deleting system apps. But always remember: its dangerous, so plz do a nandroid backup before deleting system apps like knox.

I would also prefer deactivating it, because it wont run in background anymore.

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------

can you still access recovery mode? If you can do so, try to wipe all data/cache. Then flash original Firmware with odin and your phone should work properly again.

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

I think your problem is that youre only doing dirty flashes. That means youre flashing roms without even wiping data and cache, and thats the problem. Your phone must be untouched for flashing (not for all roms but for most of them its recommend).

BUT before you wipe data do an backup of all youre data otherwise all data will be losted.

I want a rom based on Android 7.1 for i9505. Battery life is most important (performance, stability doesn't matter)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
This is the wrong place to ask this questions.

There are no Nougat TouchWiz ROMs for this device and probably never will be.

I recommend JDCTeam ROMs because of the custom kernel that allows you do change a lot of settings and make it very battery efficient and laggy, because you can't have battery and performance.

Hi, about a year or two ago I inserted SD card into my S4 (with custom ROM, rooted and TWRP) and used the SD card as internal storage. Which was great as I could download more apps without receiving storage full message. However after I wiped the phone (Cache, System and Data only) and flashed newer version of the custom ROM, SD card became unusable. As far as I understood, SD card was encrypted, therefore I had to format the SD card, hence lost all the content.

Is there any way I can use SD card as internal storage and not have to format the SD card every time I flash new custom ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
I don't think so. The SD card will be encrypted every time and the key will be stored with your current ROM.

If you wipe, it will probably wipe the encryption key too, therefore the new ROM won't be able to use the SD card.

A possible solution would be to not wipe anything, but this in itself may create other problems.

The bootloader cannot hand control of the system over to the Android kernel because you don't have one, thus why you're seeing a slow flashing of the splash screen. Your system partition is somehow empty, and flashing a stock ROM using Odin should fix the issue.
