[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary02468:
I don't know what you're talking about here. No one on XDA has claimed to be privvy to any secret information or methods regarding Kingo's unroot. The only specific claim that's been made on XDA is that Kingo sends your IMEI to a server, and Kingo has replied here with a plausible explanation for that.

There's always some question about whose software you should trust to run on your phone or your PC. But essentially nothing has changed from a week ago regarding Kingo. If it was reasonable to trust them then, then it's just as reasonable now. No one on XDA has claimed to have evidence to the contrary. People's mood swings here, from uncritical trust to uncritical fear, have no sensible motivation.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exaltedgod:
As of two days ago, there has been several mods saying that Kingo cannot be trusted and has locked several threads about them. There has been a change, you just might want to look around.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary02468:
I'm aware of those posts. You should re-read them more carefully. Nowhere do the mods claim to have any new evidence, except for the IMEI thing, which has since been explained.

Look, I am not here to argue, just trying to pass along the information pool that is being provided....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary02468:
You're passing rumors, not information. It's just a bunch of posts saying that some unspecified person somewhere has said for some unspecified reason that Kingo shouldn't be trusted. There is not a shred of evidence mentioned in the thread you just cited (except, again, for the IMEI thing, for which Kingo has offered a benign explanation; and why would an IMEI be considered sensitive anyway?).
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkeaver:
I think what he is referring to is that originally the mods, which since then has removed, was also stating that along with IMEI #'s they were also POSSIBLY taking personal info such as passwords account info, ect... ect... but all allegations to this has since been removed that I can see except for the IMEI issue in which kingo has admitted to, from what I read somewhere, and that he wasn't using those maliciously and was using it for statistical purposes. He also stated that he would stop this and change it to use serial numbers instead...(If I remember correctly :) )

I think everyone has a right to be cautious but this has got completely, or is getting, out of hand with accusations about XDA intents and or Kingo and even vroot. If you feel ok and confident and trust the root method by all means use it, if not unroot till this all gets straightened out.

Although as far as VRoot is concerned it did make me nervous about that method. Every time a app install or updated the notification for it was in Chinese. It was probably nothing to worry about either but made me uncomfortable just the same so I unrooted and am waiting for someone to give the all clear.

my 2 cents for what is worth.... :cool:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:
It is sensitive because it is a link back to you,

I'm not sure it matters but regardless they now have a file that says hey these people rooted their phones.

If att did a move like Sony did requesting the IP of everyone that jail broke their ps3 I guess it could annoy you plus now they have proof it was your phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary02468:
Exactly. ANY software is POSSIBLY taking your personal information, for all you know. But no EVIDENCE was ever claimed that Kingo is ACTUALLY taking personal information (except, again, for the IMEI thing, for which they've offered a plausible explanation, and which isn't particularly sensitive anyway).
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkeaver:
The IMEI number is basically a unique serial number to the phone. It's like an ethernet MAC address. It's supposed to be unique. If someone got ahold of yours, the worst they could do is pretend to be your phone's serial number. They couldn't access your account, they couldn't use your data, or make phone calls as if they were you. All of the account information is on the SIM. There are a few reasons why someone might want to spoof an IMEI - despite the fact that it's illegal - such as to avoid using a phone with a stolen IMEI, or to pretend that one phone is another (such as making an iPhone look like it's a Nokia to avoid specific iPhone charges/plans).

---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------

Yep... we are basically saying the same thing. :cool:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary02468:
You're exaggerating. There's no evidence that they save the information. It's possible, but you shouldn't state it as a fact.

Anyway, so what? There's nothing illegal about rooting your phone.

Exactly. So if AT&T did the same thing, they could get the IP address of everyone who downloaded from the Kingo site, even without the IMEI information.

Or they could just look at who starts installing root-required apps from the Play Store. If you don't worry about that, why should you worry about Kingo having your IMEI?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:
If you stopped worrying about defending you'd see I said I'm not sure it matters.

My point was to answer the question as to why this is sensitive

As for information sent if you send it assume it is saved.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary02468:
Assume what you like, but it's wrong to state assumptions as facts unless you have evidence they're true.

Right, and my point was to show that it's not. :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beefgoat:
Another problem many on XDA have had with Kingo is that they do not disclose the method they use to root devices, and they do not provide the source code. The suspicion is that Kingo may be using the work of others without giving the proper credit. Both are a violation of XDA rules and is another reason why the mods have removed the links from forums.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dextroz:
[Solution if you are facing USB-only charging with third-party AC chargers on your Nexus 5]

Hi Guys,

Initially, my Nexus 5 ONLY charged at USB mode with any other charger than the one supplied. I tried 5 chargers including the Trent 2.1A car charger and BB PlayBook high-speed charger. I also tries using the supplied USB cable with another charger but it was a slow-go.

Then, I noticed my buddy's N5 did not exhibit this problem.

My only solution was to reset the phone, log back in and charge with the supplied charger to 100%. Then, it magically started to show AC charging with other charges.

I wanted to share this with others in case they faced the same situation and were considering RMA due to hardware.

Kit Kat still have way too many bugs. (Settings is constantly crashing in the battery menu when I plug the charge in and out on two of our N5s.)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TritonB7:
Thanks, I'll try reseting my Nexus 5 when I get home. Although, I havent been able to charge it using any charger :( not sure if the battery life is reporting correctly too. When you first saw the issue with yours not charging using the cable and ac adapter that came with your Nexus 5 did you happen to notice if your device was still asking you to connect the charger or not? Mine is still telling me I need to connect the charger or cable, even though I have my USB plugged into the device. I can send commands to the phone fine using adb or fastboot, just wont charge.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naturefreak85:
Unfortunately your trick didn't work for me with my N5. My N5 charges off of SOME chargers (The N4, N5, N7 2012, and Samsung 2.1 Chargers, as well as my EasyACC 1200 battery pack, only port 1.3 volt, all others show as USB.) My car charger fails, Duracell 2 USB port with 2A output, and so does every other battery pack that I own fail with charging. All report USB Mode. I think it has to do with the Quickcharge 2.0 or possibly the fact that this has G2 innards to an extent. The G2 has quite a few chargers reporting as "Slow Charge" rather than "Fast Charge." Quite Irksome but I suspect it will be resolved with an update soon.

To confirm that it wasn't a hardware problem of my N5, I borrowed a Coworker's N5 and experienced the same thing on my chargers.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I returned my first nexus 5 to google because it did not charge unless it was with the original charger. I tried it with the USB charging port on my radio and also a sony USB cable + plug combo and the charge was terribly slow. I have a nexus 4 and 7 and they had no issues charging this way so thought it was a fault with the handset.

When I received my replacement I was really hoping this issue was resolved but sadly not. The second handset had the same issue. I then researched online and came across this forum post. I reset the handset, charged it to 100% with the cable and plug provided with the phone. Just to be on the safe side I discharged the handset fully and charged it to 100% again. The same fault reoccured. I then compared my nexus 5 to my 4 and 7. When charging the 4 and 7 through my radio, it showed charging via AC on the battery properties on the handset. The 5 in the same situation showed charging via USB. I then tried to charge my 5 using an emergency charger I had lying about and to my surprise, that charged fine showing as AC charging. I then took the USB cable from the emergency charger and plugged it into my radio's charged port. It showed AC again and charged as normal. I then used the original USB cable I always plug into the radio into the outlet of emergency charger too and that showed AC on the phone too.

I don't really have a conclusion to why this it charges fine with one power source and cable and not another as there seems to be no logic to this. I think the nexus 5 is really picky how it likes to be charged. I can't see why this phone is soo finiky charging when all my other devices charge fine regardless where and how. I am now worried that if I'm at work or out and about and need an emergency top up my handset won't charge. I really hope this is a software fix

It might be a stupid question and might not be...

The X-speed... how much does it affect the speed of the universal?

say - 1G SD X80 / 1G SD (doesnt say speed).

if there is a big difference - what speed is in ur opinion minimum?

10x !
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tommy1971:
I had a 45x, 60x 1G SD and 155x 4G SD, they are just the same for my Universal , but for my Canon 350d, the 155x can take up to 17 photos at once and the 60x can only take 5 photos at once. I guess the bottleneck is the IO on pocketpc so the speed of SD does not make any difference.

On the Nexus 4 you could turn your photosphere images into 'Little planets', but the feature seems to be missing on the Nexus five?

See example here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ls6MOyUpcg
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boonyard:
In fact, looking around it definately looks like they've removed it.

Why remove functionality?! :eek:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boonyard:
Correction!

It hasn't been removed, it's there and it's great!

The photosphere image just needs to be a full 360 degree image and then you get the option.

Hello,

I have rooted my defy mini and deleted some system apps, all was well until I deleted mediaser (probably mediaserver) obviously my phone is suffering. Is there any way I can recuperate that without loading everything again (I mean losing all the positive changes I made).

thank you so much. Mild abuse will be tolerated for being such an idiot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dusanzk:
I'm having a problem where the camera works for a couple of hours then just turns completely black and doesn't start working again until i reboot the phone.

When i say works for a couple of hours i don't mean a couple of hours of continuous use but a couple of hours general use of the phone.

I first notice it when I'm unlocking my phone as i have Face Unlock enabled,

The front camera won't start so i have to unlock using the backup unlock method (pattern in my case).

As soon as that happens the camera stops working all together, even in the camera app, like i said, until i restart the phone.

Any ideas ?

I didn't wanna say anything as to not jinx it but i tried something that seems to have helped my situation.

I Force Stopped the Camera app in Settings --- Apps and then cleared the app data.

That didn't magically fix it but after doing that AND rebooting my phone i haven't had a problem with the camera.

It hasn't even been a full day yet but it's been working for about 18 hours which is great compared to yesterday's having to reboot every couple of hours.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boymann:
Had the same problem...Found solution

I had the same problem with my Nexus 5.

I can confirm, that this is a face unlock issue!

I found a solution that works perfectly for me:

After I rooted my device to flash Jishnu Sur's camera improvement mod I found, that this mod also solves the face unlock issue described in this thread and elsewhere.

I installed the mod 48h ago and tried as hard as I could to reproduce the camera crash. I did not succeed even once!

The only drawback: Under low lighting the camera in Google goggles flickers in a kind of loop while adjusting the aperture. But in my opinion this is absolutely worth it ;)

As I cannot reply to the original threat (yes I do not have enough posts yet :( ) I would like to thank Jishnu Sur for his great job!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Awks:
Just got my nexus 5 yesterday and am loving it so far! Weird quirk with it is although I have enabled widgets in the Security Settings, the lock screen controls when I use Google Play Music don't appear on the lock screen. Sometimes it flashes for a second with the album art then disappears back to the regular clock. Is there some setting that I should check to make sure the music controls aren't being overridden? I have the lock screen set on slide to unlock, not sure what else I need to check. Any help would be appreciated Thanks!

I have the same problem using mtv music app. It seems my nexus "forgets" it is playing music even while it's playing music in the background. Randomly the music controls in the notification bar disappears, and even with it the lockscreen controls. I think it is a kind of strange power saving bug in 4.4.. Maybe it is possible to raise the music players priority. Any ideas are appreciated :)

thanks and regards

Edit: tested a little bit and it seems this bug only comes while streaming via Bluetooth. Had it with my bt headset and while streaming music at the dvr.

Maybe you can confirm that you discovered the bug while streaming via bluetooth, too.

Sup guys. [MENTION=5530954]Awks[/MENTION]

I came across the same bug on my Nexus 4, too.

Tried the following: wiped cache, wiped play music data, fiddled around with lockscreen security settings. No luck.

Then, managed to fix it. :D

I had this one app, called JAYS Headset Control, that allowed to assign functions to headset button clicks. I simply uninstalled that **** and now s'all good.

So beautiful lockscreen with album art & all: https://db.tt/HfD6m3ds

Too bad I now have to re-download my 3GB music library, d'oh.

Hello,

After rooting/TWRP on Nexus 5, I was able to access MTP/PTP OK, with no issues. But now, when plugging USB into my computer, the MTP/PTP prompt doesn't come up on the phone.

I've only been able to "see" the phone on the PC when turning on USB Debugging, and even then cannot install Nexus 5 drivers correctly anymore. I have tried the Universal drivers, the Google SDK manager drivers, and more, but have had no luck.

Any suggestions? Should I just factory wipe at this point? Only installed Apps were Titanium Backup, Goo Manager, FDroid, Adaway, Super User.

Also, is there an option in TWRP to mount the storage to PC? Is it just USB-OTG from Mount menu?

Thanks in advance,

Rob
