Oh, Really? Why is my screen still yellow compared to the 6500k monitor I have sitting infront of me? I've had my phone for more than 30days. But I am using a color correction kernel to push it close to 6500k instead of it being at around 5000k.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello00:
sometimes it takes longer than that but that's the reason why devices have a yellowish tint on the screen
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingineru:
What are you using specifically?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vanhoud:
This color profile fixed everything for me, the display is amazing now.

You can use Franco kernel app or

I'm so happy that my nexus 5 performs as it should. No yellowish screen from box. Just a bit powerbutton rattle, but who cares.. I'm not ticking constant on my phone. You guys really should stop searching faults lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vanhoud:
It's kinda hard to not "search for faults" when the moment you turn the phone on for the first time you are greeted with a yellow tinted Google logo lmao
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyfan61:
My first N5 was perfect. No button rattle worth mentioning, decent battery life and a beautiful screen. I had to return it because the micro usb charge cable would not say in properly. The new unit I just received on Tuesday suffers from a very noticeable yellow screen. It's quite unpleasant compared to my first one. I didn't search forums looking for faults. I searched to see if others had the same issue. Judgmental much?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharpehenry:
I too had yellow tint color on bottom half of screen. I was told that when the glue dries out, the yellow tint will go away. It has been almost 3 weeks since I had this phone but yellow tint is there but only 1/3 of it. So I can see it is fading away but it might take probably another month or so to fade away completely.

If you don't have patients, you could try to RMA it but probably won't guarantee the screen quality. Could be better or could be worse.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dehsA:
I thought my Nexus 5's yellow screen was bad already but oh boy, my new GPe LG G Pad has it beat by miles.

On the plus side, now my Nexus 5 screen looks perfectly normal.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgymnop:
My first N5 was perfect. White screen and very sharp. Unfortunately it died after 3 weeks. My replacement has a yellow tint and what is worse I can see lines and it seems to be less sharp. Not sure if it is because it has this yellow tint.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealjam:
My N5 screen is a little yellow and also has the "lines" across the screen (horizontal when in portrait). These are only visible when looking very closely on a white background... I had assumed these were present on all N5's so it's interesting if this is not the case.

I can't say I have any issues with screen sharpness - admittedly, I was coming from the 720p HTC One X but it's noticeably sharper than that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] practicalposts:
My RMA replacement is noticeably yellow than the older one, hopefully it is "glue" issue and will improve. I prefer bluish colder 6500k temperature over warmer tone 5000k
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dolf987:
Guys i found an easy fix..

Guys just go to developer options and toggle "COOL COLOR TEMPERATURE ".

It immediately improves the screen tint.... I seems like google acknowledges this issue and finally gave a fix for it... Try it out guys and let me knw the results.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onupirat:
There is no "COOL COLOR TEMPERATURE " there.

Are there any SMS apps in the market that allow you to reply or mark as read from the notification instead of having to open the entire application?

I really want to try 8sms but the no auto-retrieve MMS thing kinda kills it. Plus that icon is terrible! :p

[Nexus 5 General] ddb540:
I've been a Nexus whore since I bought the Nexus S on release day at Best Buy, having owned every Nexus device since then, with the exception of the Galaxy Nexus. I've generally had great luck buying the devices through Google Play Store, and also selling the devices when I buy the newer model.

I've had the N5 since yesterday, and it has been a joy to use. Great size, awesome screen, comfortable design, and super fast/smooth. Thanks to the wonderful developer community, the bootloader was unlocked and the device rooted within 10 minutes after receiving the UPS package. Within another 30 minutes, all apps were installed and settings updated, followed by a NAND backup. Fortunately, my phone is not plagued by some of the hardware issues I've been reading about (loose/noisy power button, etc.).

My only gripe so far is that inability to customize the stock launcher - the only thing I really would like to do is change the numbers of rows and columns of icons (on both the home screen and app drawer), but that seems not possible. If I use a third-party launcher, I lose the "OK Google" functionality, which I've been enjoying so far.

Also, I like the Spigen Slim Armor case I got - good quality and fit/feel.
[Nexus 5 General] Argenist:
Why would you lose the OK Google feature? A launcher doesn't affect any functionality in the phone.

I have Apex Launcher and it works just fine. The only drawback right now to a launcher is that they haven't updated it to have the clear background of the navigation buttons down below and the notification bar up top. Otherwise it works perfectly. I'm sure the developer will update that soon though.

Hello my dear all members i have made this thread bcz some peoples facing prblms when they restored their apps, so i will give them an easy method

Requirements:-

1. Only App " Titanium Backup "

Now let's starts...

Whenever u flash any new Rom, plz take a backup in Titanium for restoring :p:p:p

Now flash a Rom with full wipe

Like

Wipedata/ factory reset

Wipe cache partition

Wipe dalvik cache

Format system

Format Data

Format cache

Wipe battery state

( if u do full wipe then your device will give u perfect performance what u want)

Now install Titanium Backup app open it n go to restored app

Then click on run n wait for apps restored..

After restored u must go to cwm again than 1.Clear cache n clear 2.dalvik cache n 3.battery state

Its an advice to take back up of yr Imp apps + data before flashing anything..

Its recommended to clear cache n dalvik cache n battery state after restored,If u want batter performance:D:D:D

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyColdJohnson:
I rooted my phone using Kingo. It has been perfect. It appears to be totally fine. I get up this morning and find the below comment and closed thread. Do we need to undo root and flash back to stock? Someone please help with this situation. I'm sure a bunch of people did this and would like to know what we should do now. Thanks Devs.

Kingo and vroot have been determined to be malware and unsafe for use, as such all threads will be closed and links removed.

Thank you
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary02468:
This thread would be more helpful if it had an informative subject line, such as "What to do about Kingo malware?". The subject you provided ("What should we do now?") gives readers no clue what the thread is about.

Anyway, does anyone know how the malware determination was made, and by whom? Does the purported malware afflict the PC that runs the software, the phone that gets rooted, or both?

Also, I notice that the locked Kingo thread in the dev forum only mentions the malware determination in the last post of the thread. Anyone who just reads the initial post, or who doesn't read all the way to the end, will still think the software has been confirmed ok. (I know the download link in the initial post has been removed, but that has little effect since the software is trivially Googled.)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyColdJohnson:
Looking at it now, I agree with the subject line needing to be a little better.

I was just told by a MOD the following. >

So now that I already have Kingo, what do you think I should do ? Keep it, our undo it? Please let me know, because I dont see anything wrong with it. Phone is working great.

MOD Get rid of it, it steals your information and sends it to remote servers and leaves back doors on your device and pc

MOD Correction, it's thought to do these things

Okay, I will undo it......When I plug my phone back up to PC and run Kingo, it has an Unroot option. Should I do it that way? Or should I look for STOCK files that came with the phone and us Odin to flash it? Thanks for your time.

MOD Stock, don't use the app anymore
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary02468:
If it's really malware (I don't know how that determination was made), any passwords, credit-card or bank-account numbers, etc. on your PC or your phone may have been exposed and should be changed now. Your PC and your phone may need to be disinfected, preferably by clean-installing a known-good system.

Just for future reference, when a company with no known track record offers free, unvetted, closed-source software, it's risky to install it on any system whose integrity you care about. That's especially the case when they claim to be a commercial venture but they say that their product will always be free, and there's no apparent way for them to profit from it.

I still don't know what evidence, if any, shows that this software is malicious. But it seemed blatantly suspicious from the beginning, so I've refrained from installing it.

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

Thought by whom, and on the basis of what evidence, if any?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyColdJohnson:
Well lets see here. The Devs and Moderators do a lot here at XDA. We trust them, and we do things to our phones.

Why wouldn't we trust what they say about certain methods? Threads and links being closed. I'm just saying...

Now I really want to make my phone go back to how it was when I bought it.

If there is anybody that's done it, I would love to know how.

It would be great if I could just use Odin with a file and not trip anything and go back. Please help me/others if this is possible.

Im sick to my stomach now. I knew I should of waited. **** !!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary02468:
So far, no dev or mod has claimed here to have specific evidence that the software in question is malicious.

Sure, there's reason to be suspicious. But that was already obvious just from looking at the Kingo website.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyColdJohnson:
I don't know what to do. I have been rooting and modding phones and other electronics for years and now I feel like it's just not worth it. I trusted XDA and the Devs a lot. Heck a dev said that this way was easier and closed an old thread. So I ran with it and now 2 days later it's closed as well. I'm disappointed
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary02468:
I think you need to look more closely at what it means to trust someone.

I do trust the devs here regarding the integrity of their own software, because their track record gives me evidence that they're trustworthy in that regard. I've flashed ROMs from here many times.

But I don't trust the devs--or anyone in the world--in the sense of automatically believing what they say about everything. I'm sure they wouldn't expect me to.

So if a dev makes an offhand remark that someone else's software (that they have no way of examining) is safe, then of course I'm not going to just take their word for it. And if they make an equally offhand remark that the software is malicious--but fail to mention why they think so--then I'm not going to automatically believe that, either.

Why don't you reroot using De La Vega by DG? Although his method will wipe your phone back to stock but at least you know it works and it's safe.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyColdJohnson:
I agree man. Thanks for your input, I'm just a little mad. I did pay 399.00 for this and now, I just want it back to Stock. Thanks again, looking for a way.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary02468:
Yup. If the phone is infected, wiping it clean is what you want to do anyway.

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------

I think your course of action depends on how much you have at risk. Do you have sensitive/valuable passwords, account numbers, etc. on your phone or your PC?

If you don't, then you might want to just ignore the risk until and unless someone establishes that Kingo is really malware.

But if you do have sensitive information at risk, your decision is trickier. The only really secure course of action would be to wipe both your phone and your PC, and to reset all your potentially-exposed passwords and financial accounts. But that's a lot of work to go to for a threat that might not even exist. So it really depends on what you have at stake.

In any case, I wish you the best of luck!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:
If all it does is send info to their servers I ponder if I could just start it under a virtual machine with no internet connection and root.

is the internet connection required?

Grrrr so we shouldnt use Kingo unroot method...Im a feard...anyone know what to do now
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exaltedgod:
I was thinking this as well but if the application leaves a back door open on the device itself then unless you plan on having your phone in Airplane mode 24/7 it would eventually send its payload over the wire.

I think the PC portion is controllable, its the mobile portion that has a lot of people on edge.

I found this website:

www[dot]majorgeeks.com/files/details/kingo_android_root[dot]html

Which seems to have links back into XDA about who made the claim and what not.

I see it like this, until someone can prove without a doubt that it is opening holes in devices and leaking information, its just another "he-said-she-said" argument.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyColdJohnson:
Or someone is mad because they didn't come up with a root solution like this first, LOL just saying.

I tried the Vroot first, and it had a superuser app (from playstore) but its all in Chinese letters.

So I uninstalled that super user app and used Kingo to unroot (Which works perfectly)

Then I rebooted and rooted using Kingo. (Worked perfectly)

It put the superSU on there (In English) and has been awesome

Now Im going back to stock and never rooting again in my life because it pisses me off I can't trust ...Never mind

I will be using Vega method soon as I get home and Im done. This sucks. Battery life will also suck. Aw well. At least my info will be protected

I guess. Kingo,,,I wish they wouldn't of said that about you. Now I want you gone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seano666:

And this is the dilemma that I think people are facing. Do we trust XDA and their reputation on this and not pry further on what and how the information was collected or does the human in me know that people can be jealous and spread lies.

The other side of the coin is the apparent legitimacy of Kingo with amazing reviews or how do we valid those reviews with Samsung recently going to court (and losing) about how they made fake reviews on their devices.

What I will do is set up a virtual box with a couple of traffic monitors and will post the results (if I can ever get to 10 posts lol) just so the air can be clear about the home computer application. The phone might be a bit trickier....
