If you're really planning to buy; not rent a phone, just get it from the Play Store. The 16gb version is cheaper and you can get the 32 gb version if you want, which Sprint doesn't carry. You can get the SIM card from Sprint and activate it, no charge. That unleashes you from any long term commitment to Sprint.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThiagoRFA:
Hope I'm posting it in the right section.

Well, recently I've bought a S4 I9505 and I'm trying to understand all about it, including terms and features related to the OS and the device itself.

Looks like I've joined a new world and I don't know anything about it. I would like to own my phone, and I found that I could do that by rooting. Since I've noticed it, I've made some researches, but it didn't help me to clarify my mind and I still do have a lot of questions. I've heard about the KNOX and if I root it i could possibly trigger it. I've found some articles regarding how to root it w/o triggering the KNOX, but in most of these articles there are some users saying it didn't work for their phones and it's triggered now. So, the question is, is there anyway of rooting it with no chances of violating the KNOX?

What do you recommend for new smartphone users to know and learn about to become their android devices' master?

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
Hmmm.. you have joined by the wrong phone (samsung) in the wrong (KNOX) time.

In the past, Sammy was giving the silent permission to do with the phone what you wanted to. nowadays, we have the Knox (in the recent bootloaders/ROMS incapable to downgrade).

Well, first step would be rooting. BUT, you have the choice between the Knox violation, privacy violation (kingo root) or not to root.

Read all of it. It may take more than one day. Make your choice WISE.

As the old Romans said: "Quidquid agis, prudenter agas and respice finem" what in free translation would be:

Whatever you want to do, do wisely, and face the consequences.

Good luck.

Hello everyone,

I am new here.

I have flashed CM 10.2 on my HOX and everything is working great except of the battery draining fast, but this is not why I am herenow.

There is a problem with the notification light on the touch buttons. I am not sure if this is only on my device, or if it's on all devices that flashed CM 10.2

What I tried so far is disabling the Button Backlight Notifications

chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/slow_blink

But this just disabled all the notification lights. and not only the soft buttons' .

Your help is so much appreciated here guys.

Thank you

[HTC One X] teamomivida:
No, this is not what I am looking for.

It doesn't seem like you understood my question.

When I receive a new email, or any kind of notification, the only light that is supposed to light up is the one on top.

But I also see the soft buttons light on.

The app you suggested doesn't disable the notification, but it disables the buttons light or in other words, it just controls their brightness.

Thank you anyway

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstulzerRSX:
I'm at school where WiFi on my T210R used to work.

I am running Android 4.1.2 on Crash Rom V1.6 with Kernel Version 3.4.5.

Root apps installed are Titanium Backup, Greenify, AdAway, AFwall+ (disabled), Quick CPU Overclock

This is the troubleshooting that I have already done:

-Forget Network

-Turn Off Wifi

-Turn On Wifi

-Reconnect

-Repeat the above, but restart before turning wifi back on

-Wipe Cache in Recovery

-Factory Reset

-WiFi Roaming Fix

The network is built on a set of WiFi repeaters that use WPA2 PSK authentication.

I do not have access to the network (router) settings, so modifying router settings will not work

When entering a correct password, the device will try to connect but will not displace "Obtaining IP Address".

Instead, the device will show "saved, secured" and "authentication error' after a while.

The device will connect to most other networks that I have tried (Tethering on my Lumia 920, D-Link DIR 655 at home)

Thoughts? This is getting slowly becoming frustrating!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burgeke:
I had similar issues when flashing ROMs. It turned out that my router had some security mechanisms in place and conflict was caused when the same device came in with different ROMs on it. My guess is perhaps MAC related. At any rate, a router reboot fixed it. I know that doesn't help you much sorry.

if u don't have sd card and backup apps at stock 4.3 and then install custom rom (pac 4.3 ) if u want to restore them u get parsing package problem

this isn't in all custom roms , but i faced it in pac 4.3 , mokee 4.4 , and beanstalk and couples more , can't remember

to fix it go to titanium backup -> preferences -> backup folder location and change it

from : /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup

to : /storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup

or press detect and titanium backup will detect the new folder

after changing the folders , titanium backup will ask u if u would like to move the backup files from old location to the new , press

NO

don't accept to move the backup data from old to new location

if this is posted before , forgive me but i didn't find any by searching

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Harmtan2:
Does anyone know how to have the bar indicator read HSPA even when I'm connected to LTE? To me, when I'm connected to LTE I could care less about signal strength because speed is all that matters. I prefer to know how my call would be, so I'd like the bars to read my HSPA signal and forget about the LTE strength. I like to know I'm connected to LTE but like i said, i could care less about what the LTE strength is. If anyone knows how or could point me in the right direction, that would be awesome if its possible. I've looked all over the place and couldn't find it, all the threads I've found tell you how to change the icons and such, which I've done. But this is something I do not know. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Signal bars don't have anything to do with LTE. Unless I completely misread what you said.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobolinko:
Reading this as you have written it, it sounds like you want to read the other car's spedometer on your dashboard and don't care what speed YOU are going at... (not very much of a useful report)............

It makes no sense and is most likely impossible due to the fact that the "strength" is read according to the frequency the radio is working.

Also, "Strength" is not the correct description of the signal bars shown, as it is a COMBINATION of available bandwidth as well as signal strength properties. You could be having a GOOD signal, but there are too many users in your cell service area so the bars are less of a quantity, but you still have service. It's too bad they didn't have a better way of showing that condition.....

Anyways, good luck and Aloha!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Harmtan2:
I appreciate the response. The thing is, the bars haven't been consistent with speed. At one bar where I work, I pull down 15 Megs, when I go to lunch at the Mcdonalds I have 5 bars of LTE and pull 15 megs. Bars on HSPA also factor in Call quality where as LTE doesn't because you can't make calls on it. The phone has to stay connected to HSPA because of this, I basically want to be able to see my call strength before Make a call. I've read in certain phones especially on Verizon and other carriers especially, they manipulate the signal this way to make it look better. That's what I'm after in a nutshell.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Just change the data settings so that the phone only goes up to HSPA connections. Basically turn off LTE entirely.

That will always show HSPA strength in the status bar because it will always be connected at HSPA signal strength.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
He wants lte. But does not care how strong the lte signal is. He only cares about being able to see the hsdpa connection strength.

With that said, if you have lte, you more than likely have full connection to hsdpa. I've forced hsdpa while in a one bar lte zone and hsdpa read full bars. So if your data connection says lte, 99.9 percent of the time you will have full hsdpa connection.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
If he wan'ts that then he can't have it. The radio can only connect to one signal type at a time. And the only way to know what the HSPA signal strength is would be to be connected to it so it can be monitored. So in any situation where it's possible to determine the HSPA signal strength, you can't be connected to LTE.

Unless you carry another phone around that's always connected to HSPA and use that as a refference, but that seems....dumb.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Harmtan2:
I was just wondering if it was possible :) My question becomes, if it can only be connected to LTE and not both, how do I receive incoming calls cuz I know that they don't do calls over LTE yet cuz they haven't launched VOLTE. Unless you were a lucky Mtetro PCS Customer. Not trying to be a pain in the ass, legitimately curious.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Your connection switches to hsdpa. If you set your connection to "lte only" calls will not work. So it switches before connecting. And about VOLTE, will we need a new phone for that to work or is it basically a T-Mobile side thing?

only way to get rid of rootes status in download mode is to flash the stock rom via the way to return to stock lgg2. Its a thread somewhere on this forum.

even then sometimes it survives that flash. Then factory reset and try again. also try the lg software from lg with the repair recovery option

Man, it IS unrooted, it just says it isn't in DL mode, try doing a factory wipe, Then flash the stock KDZ again, that should hopefully put it back to unrooted :good:

Also, the phone reboots at about 70% in the up test exe, if you look at the device it is at 100% while the flash tool is only at around 70%, don't worry that is normal.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bachera:
yeah instead of that use the official lg flash tool. or try again, as sometimes with flashing it is maintained.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leomd333:
Uptest is LG's official tool, when you run uptest.exe it opens up the LG Mobile support tool, which flashes the KDZ to your device.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andretan:
Hi everyone!

I was wondering how do I go about with backing up my Nexus 5 if the need ever arose.

Being an iPhone user since Steve Jobs unveiled the original iPhone and I've been pretty much pampered by iTunes doing all the "heavy lifting" (read: backups). It's not elegant, it's slow, but it works whenever I migrate from an old iPhone to a new one.

Now that I've made the switch, of course I had to move most of my emails, contacts and calendar to Google's services... and they are essentially in the cloud.

Does Google actually backup any stuff for me, like what Apple's iCloud does?

So my question is, do I really need to download/purchase an app for backing up?

Hope you guys can enlighten me :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charesa39:
Well, I'm not sure how iCloud works because I despise Apple :silly:, but the short answer is yes and no. Anything that Google syncs with it's servers is backed up (ie. Contacts, Calendar, basically anything that you can log in on a computer and access). You can set Google+ or even Dropbox to backup your pictures to the cloud just in case. That's what I do since I once deleted my whole camera folder on accident. I take it since you have been a heavy iPhone user that your N5 is not rooted? I ask because, usually, even for some paid games, they don't really make your data transferable to another device, or recoverable in case of data loss on your current device. For this reason, I root all my devices and first thing I do is make a nandroid backup using a custom recovery. That way, if anything ever goes wrong, you can always restore your phone to exactly how it was when you made the backup. Another priceless app I use is Titanium Backup. With this app, you can backup all your apps and their data (ie settings, game progress, etc.) You can even backup system apps and data, although it can be dangerous if you're not entirely sure what you are doing when restoring.

First of all by been already here, you have the tools and a 5 million community not to buy a single app never again. I personally have used rooted and unrooted android phones quite a while and I can recommend you:

2. SMS Backup&Restore

3. Dropbox for your pics

4. Google for your users info and contacts

5. You can use File Expert to backup your Whatsapp folder to Dropbox
