Mine had the occasional "backlight set to off" (i.e. pushing the 5-way would NOT turn it back on - had to use Control Panel applet) problem too. I never used Pocket Zen Phone on this phone (have on others in the past) but did use both SPB pocket plus and Phone Alarm.

I think the problem is somehow related to apps that try to control the backlight. As you've noted, SPB's backlight applets don't do anything, I think that PZP and Phone Alarm, as part of their attempts to control the backlight in their profiles mess it up somehow.

What i did was limit my profiles in PA to only two, and make sure both of them were set exactly the same way as far as controlling the backlight:

o Both profiles have backlight set to 50% all the time

o Both profiles set to power off the backlight at 3 minutes on both AC and battery

o Both profiles set to suspend the device at 2 mins on battery (so never getting to the "backlight only power-off" setting above).

o Having the backlight go dark on AC is new for me, but it keeps it consistent with the battery setting, but it's no biggie and if it ain't broke...plus if I touch any button it comes back on

I also removed SPB pocket plus and found some freebie utilities that do what I wanted from SPB.

So I'm not positive it's related, but doing these three things and i haven't had the light go dark since. Every once in a while after a reboot the light does go dark, but hitting any button or the 5-way brings it back so it's not the same "setting has been set to no backlight at all" problem I was having, and only seems to occur soon after a reboot, and then not again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
So, I was recently asked if there was a way to go back to the stock kernel without reflashing the rom. While i wanted to say, "Just reflash the rom", that could be kind of an inconvenience for someone who has added mods of their own or flashed a theme they liked. So after doing a quick research {Credits to Google), I quickly put together the MJ9 Stock Kernel for the Verizon Note 2. This is mainly for those who flashed the AGNI or Devil Kernel and wanted to restore back to stock kernel.

MJ9 Stock Kernel - http://www.mediafire.com/download/b0w2hq1ukbdf33f/MJ9+Stock+Kernel.zip

Mirror (AFH) - http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23311191640113944

So now you are free to explore with other Verizon Note 2 Compatible Kernels and tweak to your liking. And if you do not like the results, you can go back to stock kernel without reflashing the rom. Just remember...first and foremost, MAKE A BACKUP before anything.

Have fun! ​

[HTC Sensation] Slickzor:
Hello Sensationalists,

After 3 years I have upgraded my phone to an HTC One and would like to sell my old phone.

It is currently running ICS Android Revolution HD 7.3.

What I would like to do is wipe all data from my SD drive and sell the phone with a pre-installed latest version of Android Revolution. I have found several tools for erasing but do not want to brick my phone or do anything rash, so here I am asking the pro's :) :

What would be the best way to erase all data from my HTC Sensation (full erase, non recoverable) and provide the buyer with a clean installation of the phone?

I believe the factory reset is no longer possible due to the custom ROM installation etc. (been a while since I have worked with the phone so not sure).

Please be easy on me with the technical terms and abbreviations, I'm a little rusty :angel:.

Many thanks in advance! :D
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
just use the full wipe option from recovery and then install ARHD ROM again
[HTC Sensation] Slickzor:
Wipe data/Factory reset?

It asks me 'About to wipe data, cache and sd-ext partitions.. Wipe all Userdata?'. This is what you mean right? It's in the recovery EXT4 program.

And if I have done that then the entire thing is unrecoverable? So no private data can be found by using recovery programs?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if you have 4ext recovery use the format all partitions except sdcard option

i assume it is unrecoverable
[HTC Sensation] Slickzor:
But I want to wipe the SD card as well. Should I do 'Format all partitions (except SDcard)' and after that 'Format sdcard'? I read that people use special programs to completely wipe all data from SD cards with programs like 'RoadKill's diskwipe'. But if this program does the same thing then I'm good, I doubt it though, that's why I ask :).
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
now i see

you want to wipe the sdcard too

hmm,

i don't know if from 4ext will be unrecoverable but it would be better to use a program to wipe it from pc
[HTC Sensation] Slickzor:
The thing is, I'm afraid that if I do this, reinstalling my phone will be a pain since EXT4 is put on the SDcard as far as I know. So if EXT4 doesn't wipe the data completely, and I have to use a PC program, I want to make sure I don't brick the device or delete crucial content for a clean installation.

So let me rephrase: How to wipe (unrecoverable) all data from my HTC Sensation including the SDcard, without losing the possibility of reinstalling the phone whilst avoiding the possibility of bricking the device/losing the possibility of a clean installation

I don't want the person that buys my phone to have access to files formerly stored on the SDcard or the phone itself.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
by formating anything from 4ext won't brick the device at all

by the way 4ext is not on sdcard

it has its own partition in emmc:)
[HTC Sensation] Slickzor:
I did not know that, thanks! I'll just use a program from my PC then to wipe all data, then do a format all partitions (except SDcard) and do a clean installation of Android Revolution 7.3 ICS for the new buyer. This should suffice then right? Will this also wipe the data on my phone, numbers etc.? (I will destroy my simcard since I won't need it any more).
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
it will wipe everything
[HTC Sensation] Slickzor:
Perfect, that's what I need. I'll start... ehh.. wiping then... :laugh:
[HTC Sensation] Slickzor:
It worked btw, a full format from windows 7 made it impossible to recover data by using recovery programs. All data was wiped and new OS is running :). Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirak:
I needed to bring my GT N7100 (intern. version) back to complete stock.

It was rooted, had a custom recovery and (deknoxed) custom rom and thus several binary counts.

For start i put back stock recovery and ran Triangle Away. After that my smarter part thought...well....why not upgrade to latest official firmware.

So i downloaded N7100XXUEMK9_N7100PHNEMK2_PHN form sammobile and flashed happily through Odin.....

Just after that i realised my binary count must have been stuck on 1 cuz of the custom rom i had.

Now i'm stuck with a rather weird set up in download mode:

Custom Binary Download: Yes (1 counts)

Current Binary: Samsung official

System Status: Official

KNOX Warranty void: 0

In order to reset my binary count back to 0 i have to reroot and rerun Triangle Away, but afaik most rooting ways will trip Knox, so in that case it has no use.

I wanna give this root method a try

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565758

cuz in the thread i found 1 or 2 posts that confirmed root without tripping Knox on the international GT N7100 on MK9 bootloader

So my question is....will Triangle Away itself trip knox?

I've been searching the forums for a few days now, but just can't find the answer.

Any help would be much appreciated!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
Triangle away won't but rooting definitely will.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrei16ro:
Where you able to fix the issue? I have a similar problem.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatPhysicsBoy:
Hi, thanks for replying! Are you sure about that? I am in the same situation as the OP, I did a search and I think it is possible to root without tripping KNOX by following this guide:

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/root-galax...-4-3-bypassing-knox-warranty-void-bit-1432252

After reading the xda thread linked in that post it does seem like this may be a successful method on the N7100, however, I can't find any concrete evidence that Triangle Away will be successful on a KNOX enabled device and will not trip the KNOX counter.

UPDATE:

So I just rooted my note ii using the method outlined in the xda thread (which is linked in the link I posted above), and it did not trip the KNOX flag. I then downloaded Triangle Away and granted it root access, it failed to reboot. I am not sure why, it did not work though.

My current status is:

AP: N7100XXUEMK9

CP: N7100XXUEMJ9

CSC: N7100BTUEMK2

Custom Binary Download: Yes (2 counts)

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Custom

KNOX Warranty Void: 0

AP SWAEV: A2

Update

Used Triangle Away v3.01, it cleared my Custom Binary Download, but it DID trip the Knox Warranty Void to 1. So to confirm, root = no trip, Triangle Away current version will not reboot, Triangle Away older version = trip KNOX.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirak:
Rooting as i mentioned in OP worked like a charm, but when i installed Triangle Away 3.25 it didn't work, so i installed an older version of it, 3.10.

This one worked en fully resetted my binary counter, unfortunately this indeed tripped KNOX:crying:

Maybe i made the mistake of using an older version of TA, i didn't read enough before i decided to do that, or maybe it's just how TA works, regardless of which version.

Anyhow....i've now joined the official Knox 0x1 club, while everything else is flagged 'official'.

I can hook up the phone to Kies, no problem, OTA works, device gets registered and says the newest software is already installed.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alundra212:
Iam on the same situation guys, except i havent tripped knox yet.

My flash counter is custom while everything else is official and knox is 0x0, the only diference is that my device is a i9505 s4 but it works the same for this.

So there is no way for me to get my warranty back since my flash counter is custom even the knox is untripped?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirak:
Nope, no change as for now. TA (any version) will trip your KNOX for sure; You could try reading up on the 'reset KNOX counter' for your S4, i read somewhere that for Exynos chipset it can be done (not easy!), for Snapdragon there's no possibility and i really doubt it will come ever.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zygzoo:
triangle away will trip knox flag because need a custom kernel to reset download binary.

flashing a custom kernel is what trigger knox!

If u wanna unroot u cant use an 4.1 rom to use triangle away to reset to 0 and upgrade after to 4.3 ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nycromz:
So to start I want to say that I`m using Android Hd revolution 40.0 or smth like that , first time I use a custom rom , just rooted and installed about 2 days ago .

I`m using a plantronics marque m165 , on a Samsung galaxy S3 Gt-i9300 , after installing the custom rom ^ I started hearing myself during calls , it only happens if i`m using the headset , any idea what can cause this , any settings that can fix this , or any way I can find out what the problem is exactly and fix it ??

Not using my headset is not a option..

All responses are highly apreciated.:cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~DemonLord~:
This can easily be an issue if you didnot do a clean install or may be an unidentified bug with the rom. You say this only happened after you switched to the custom rom? Try flashing the rom again after doing a factory reset. If the problem continues then either come back to stock or change your rom, there are many more to choose from :)

There's an ongoing discussion on which brand of tempered glass screen protectors are the best value, but I'm curious which ones have been most prone to chips and bubbles. I've had this problem with the Spigen GLAS.t and am looking to replace it. I'm not willing to sink $30+ for something that will just chip within several weeks. I'm very careful with my N5 and I have 6 chips that have magically appeared over the past couple months.

Your votes are appreciated =) If you haven't encountered any issues, details like which screen protector you have and for how long (this is important) would be helpful. Cheer!

You could ask for experiences of those who've owned and used the product for a month or two. It's common to see people on within a week singing praises but things don't always go so well with cheap glass over time.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] eyeisdasteve:
I got the Spigen Glas.Tr and it had a chip in it on day 1. Ended up cracking across the screen.

I emailed their customer service 11 days ago and still haven't gotten a response.

Pretty upset. :mad:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] b.spec:
Yeah this is my thinking too. The first few weeks I had mine I LOVED it, but ask me today and I wouldn't recommend it. If anyone who hasn't had any problems with their screen protector mention

how long

they've used it for, that would be helpful =)

My GLAS.t is cracked across the screen too, twice! Sad to hear the tR has issues as well since Spigen claims the rounded corners help a lot more with chipping.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tkoreaper:
Using the mime feather with a Ballistic case and the right top and bottom corners started cracking for some reason. I also have a crack from left to right in the center of the screen that doesn't even touch the corner cracks. Not very happy. This is my first slim-design glass protector and first time using MIME, but I never had any problems with my Spigen.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tdawg2k7:
I've had the mime ghost with a spigen neo hybrid for over a month now. No cracks at all. Tiny bubbles only when case is on. The case is very tight fitting, so the corners rise up a little. No problems with the screen protector itself.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Caniv:
can the people stating the have cracking issue also say how thick the glass is? maybe if you can edit that question into the main thread, we'll find a trend =?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jimmy2u:
Well those people who got their screen protector chipped or bubbled...can they share some pics of it....and mention the particular cause that how it was happened...???

As I use this Tempered glass Screen protector for my N5 and believe me its such a nice product that it never make me feel as if I have put something on my screen..the touch is pretty smooth and flawless...n I just love it...and couple of times it has saved the screen from my car keys too.....I just love this product..very pleasant experience....:)

Thanks

Hey guys, I updated the first post with a list of tempered glass sp's for the N5 along with their thickness and link. Let me know if I'm missing anything!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] psy_spy:
Mime Ghost

I have been using MIME Ghost for over a month now. It is good. No bubbles/cracks. I have read may posts that say that the mime feather cracks easily after a week or two. Ghost is a bit thicker and a better option in my opinion.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] b.spec:
I have 6 chips around my Spigen GLAS.t and I honestly have NO idea how I got any of them. I treat my phone with care and always leave it in its own pocket so it doesn't get scratched or anything, albeit I don't have a case on it. But a good quality screen protector should be able to withstand day-to-day use without a case, in my opinion.

Interestingly this is the first I've heard of the Amzer Kristal (which I'll add to the list in the first post) and it's the thickest of all its competitors. How long have you been using it, and do you have a case with it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tysj:
Any piece of glass with sharp corners will chip easier, even with large window panes. If you have the glas.t and are not using a case, it will definitely chip as the edges are most vulnerable and more chips/cracks will propagate from there. I don't know why Spigen doesn't put the message for the glas.t on all of the glas.t products, but this is from the iPhone 5 glas.t page:

Myself, I have had the glas.tr since early December and have no issues with or without a case. I switch between the Neo Hybrid/Ultra Fit and no case about half the time and have had no chips or bubbles.

TL;DR: If you get a glass protector without rounded edges, it will most likely chip unless you have a case to protect the edges of the glass.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] b.spec:
Thanks for this. I was going back and forth between the t and tR, but figured I was careful enough with my phone that it should be fine. I assumed the disclaimer was for people who had the tendency of being a little more hard on their phones. I'm really thankful mine was in the first batch that was recalled, so I essential got a trial run at the glas.t. Good to hear the tR is more durable as they advertise. I'm curious to know which of the other brands have curved edges as well, which is definitely a must if I'm not using a case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] b.spec:
Added the Cruzerlite TRUGLASS to the first post as well. Seems like there isn't one brand that is clearly more durable than the rest.

have you got a recovery on your device?

if no, flash on from fastboot

if you are in the recovery, push a rom to the sd card with the following command:

adb push "C:\path_to_rom\rom.zip" /data/media/rom.zip

now just flash the rom via recovery... just install it as you normally install a rom...

after installation just make a factory reset (data, cache, dalvikcache)

Everything was working just like a charm. But I have a weird problem. When I turn on the device lock (on today screen) and don't use the device until it turns off, I cannot get It out of sleep mode. No chance to unlock again... all I can do is a soft reset and this is not too amusing (at least for me :wink: ). Do I miss something elementary?
