And there's your problem.

Android is open, customizable, and free - at source code level. However, individual implementations (such as Samsung's Touchwiz) have so such requirement to be so.

People like us, who like to hack around with our phones, are not the market that Samsung is aiming for. The vast, vast majority of Samsung Android users are never going to root their phone, manually upgrade/downgrade their firmware via Odin, or install custom ROMs. These users are *never* going to even thing about tripping Knox, let alone do anything that might trip it.

To be fair, Samsung are not alone in this - pretty much all major phone vendors are doing similar. Someone works out how to get S-OFF on the HTC One, and HTC release a patch to prevent it.

Going forward, I see a time coming where if you want to have complete control over your device, you will have to buy a developer edition.

Dave

Question: Why is Samsung acting like Apple?

Answer: Because Apple is the most successful company in the world.

Do you really need another reason?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Lonzo_SGS2_506:
C'mon!!

OK. I've had rooted and hacked everyphohe I've had.. Since Nokia monocromatic days, Sony Ericsson devices and now android... I've used almost every custom ROM.. Applied hundreds of modifications, etc, etc... Trust me. Its funny how ppl complain about software and this Knox thing... Android continues to be on top of iOS for many many reasons... Many many reasons!!

I personally like to root .. Of course but with power comes disorder.. Yes maybe cosmetic custom is one of the reasons for rooting..and its fun. But as it comes with plenty of features so it comes with problems never experienced on stock.. Like freezes, restarts,etc, etc.. U know what am talking about.. Most of us have chosen the Gnote 3 for its innumerable capacities over almost every device on the market. It is a beast. No doubt. For me I haven't seen yet any modification or feature that make me wanna root my note.. It is a beast as it is now. Am not running KK.. Uh uh.. I'll wait for a more completed version... I have more than 15 years using cellphones and customizing them.. And now it seems that companies are getting to know what customers need in their devices .. That's why rooting will no longer be necessary.. Why don't you sit and think about this? I've root my Sgs2 and could have the multi window feature when it came out.. And the list goes and goes.. Arent you able to see we are going to another place now with stock phones?? Actually CM will have its on device sponsored by Google itself !!! See for example the multiple features of the moto x ... It is like R2D2 haha.. Personally I'm happy with the nowadays devices..let s see what's next... :cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pete4k:
At least Samsung will not shut down your phone and force update, like Crapple does, on Samsung at least you can disable updates. And blame other users as well for this lockdowns: how many people brick their phones when modding and then at least try to claim warranty repairs or exchange? I don't have to look far, my good friend rooted his Note3 and this made his Gear stop working. Couldn't fix it, so he took it to service center and strangely enough they did fix it for free (he may have unrooted first, I don't know), by bringing all to stock and he is a hacker, perfectly capable of figuring it out, just didn't want to bother I guess. And yes, because Crapple is so successful, many companies will follow suit, so blame all Crapple users as well. If Crapple was a total failure, no one would imitate them.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] GuestK00431:
Soon change in a few years. You'll see Samsung become more and more like Apple in time.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] aydc:
Samsung used to be just another Korean electronics company, like what LG is today. Then they started copying Apple. The more they copied Apple, the more successful they became. It's this simple. Believe it. If you do what successful people do, you become successful. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it doesn't work.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] st3chn0:
Just like the sales of apple is now falling I believe it will also happen to samsung.

Another thing not related to your comment since they've stopped allot people from rooting and developing due to the warranty issues. Development is Damn slow now. Like they did with gokhanmoral (think thats how you spell it all credits to him) with the s2 they had cherry picked from his kernel tree to implement into the stock to make stock run even smoother. Now there's only really one kernel in development for the international model compared to what previous phones had where there were quite a range.

What's the point of having really high end specs if you can't really exploit them? and sticking to something which much lower and play 'safe'.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] matholland:
Okay...I am rooted with the latest version of safestrap...what are all the available rom options? I don't like hyper drive at all...it's better than stock but it's just not me...none of the status bars colors can be changed which is annoying. Anyway I really love eclipse on my past android phones. I know it's not working with safestrap and the developer is working on a safestrap version. What is everyone else running except hyperdrive? I don't know what works and what doesn't without trying them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Hyperdrive 12..the other available ss compatible roms come up short. Especially battery life which is the #1 thing I look for. Other roms for ss don't come close on battery life.

safestrap enabled, Hyperdrive driven
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Naddict:
Sorry,

Threads like these get shut as they turn into "best rom" threads - which always spiral into troll and arguments.

As XDA is not a support site, users are expected to do their own research and to make their own, independent, determinations as to what suits them best.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatazeuz:
I want to get the 4.4 update on my new Moto G. But also i want to avoid unlocking the bootloader. I read somewhere that the system will let you flash a signed image without unlocking the bootloader, but i want to be sure, so i don't end with a soft bricked phone and have to unlock it anyways.

Can you help me?

EDIT: You can! Just flash the upgrade via fastboot and your phone will have the last iteration of Android witthot unlocking anything.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalmahdi:
you don't have to unlock it if you are updating it through the update option inside the phone itself. :svetius:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatazeuz:
I know, but the phone comes with a carrier firmware that will take some time to roll the update, and I want to replace it.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalmahdi:
then the answer is no, in order to load any custom rom you have to unlock your bootloader.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatazeuz:
But I'm not trying to load a custom ROM, I'm trying to load an official firmware.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faruko:
Which is a ROM itself
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatazeuz:
But certainly isn't custom, and its signed.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voosh710:
I think you should refer to this video - http://youtu.be/-L44JqysUy8

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] a sandwhich:
I have an AT&T SGH-I747 running CM11 that I have unlocked and using on T-mobile's network. Unfortunately though I can only access edge and I would like to be able to acces 3g, 4g, or LTE. How would I go about enabling this on my phone? Any help is appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TopoX84:
Seems that the problem could be on the APN... Search for them it should be something like fast.t-mobile.com
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] a sandwhich:
I have tried several different APN's and none have worked/given me anything more than edge.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] a sandwhich:
I have tried that one out and nothing has changed. Still stuck on edge. Thanks for the suggestion though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TopoX84:
I used to work for t-mobile and that's the LTE APN...

check on their website the LTE coverage areas around you.

Make a backup of your device and attempt a factory reset.

there were some devices I worked with that the factory reset worked like a magic trick.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] a sandwhich:
I can't really do a factory reset, as I am currently running CM11 and I was previously on ATT. My friend on Tmobile get's LTE coverage here so I would assume I would be capable of that as well. Or at least get 3g coverage.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TopoX84:
I read some old topics where upgrading TWRP or CWM to the latest and 're-flashing was solving the LTE issue this was about 3-4 months ago
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] a sandwhich:
Hmmm, ok. I have the second to most recent CWM and I reflashed to CM11 again just this morning. Still don't have access.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] clouds5:
Here's the thing. It's not a big deal but it's annoying. When I put my finger on the screen to hold something or slowly scrolling the screen, or more accuratly the item I'm holding, starts shaking sometimes very faintly.

Could there be a driver issue, too sensitive? I enabled pointer tracking in the dev options and the numbers jump around sometimes when holding something. So i guess that could be the problem.

Btw only happens with my fingers not with the spen. Maybe my fingers are too thick? Can you guys reproduce this? Its easy to reproduce with a solitaire klondike game where you have to move cards around.

[e] Just FYI: My device does not have the multitouch issues described in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2491690
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
Yeah I just recreated it on my device too - tbh I haven't noticed it until now so it doesn't bother me at all. But yeah probably is just too sensitive at slow scroll but no real idea tbh.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] clouds5:
Yeah that's what I was thinking. The driver is just very sensitive and that's probably needed for S-Pen I guess.

In normal use I don't even notice it anyway but I was playing this card game and while holding a card for a while thinking where to put it I noticed the faint shaking :) Thx for the quick answer.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] clouds5:
Could some more people test this? I'm wondering if all devices have this or if it's only some. I've read it might be related to temperature, as in if the touchscreen gets too cold it starts acting funny. Oo.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] chabasse:
I have it also... I found it yesterday when I used stock browser. I wanted to mark some text and holded finger on, it started to shake a little.. But for me it is not annoying.. and I think that is kind of characteristic for this "S-pen-able" screens..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] clouds5:
Thx :) You know I have the tablet for almost a month now and I'm trying to find out if there are any issues because I can't live without root any longer. So far no issues at all and it seems this shaking thing is just a common driver/spen issue nothing that might be a possible warranty case :) (other devices have it too, google told me so)

Think I'm gonna root this baby!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] chabasse:
heh.. I understand you very well.. I rooted mine two days after bought.. I can not imagine using it without root. Of course I tripped knox :P
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] krico:
Happens with me to when playing solitaire but like you say, not with the s-pen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] hmukarram:
Same problem

When you hold the icons for example to move them they start shaking rather erratically, for me it was very annoying as this does'nt happen on Note 3. I check several devices. I don't know if it is a fault with the device or the driver. I tend to read alot as well at it makes scrolling text up and down quite annoying as well.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] clouds5:
So the interesting question now is if there are people having absolutely zero shaking :)

But i suspect it's the driver that has issues with big touch points because it's tuned to the small tip of the s pen. Maybe the high resolution makes it different from the notes? But I'm just speculating, don't know enough about how these wacom digitizer work...

If you enable pointer position tracking in dev options you can see how the pointer position is jumping around more the bigger the touch point is. If you put your whole finger on the screen things tend to get more jumpy. I think this should be fixable with a driver update.

Btw I did a soft reset (holding power button for 10secs) and since then it seems that it has gotten better. Weirdly enough :p but that might be placebo... so..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] clouds5:
OK I think i have isolated the issue. I've been to a store today and compared with a note 3 that was on display.

I used the "show pointer location" debug in the developer options for analysis.

On my note 10.1 2014 even though the spen is docked it still registers pressure somehow. Shown as "prs" in the top bar that appears when you enable pointer location. The pressure using just my finger as input fluctuates between 0.00 and about 0.15 even without spen! Where it should be at a steady 1.00 without spen.

That is exactly how it works on the note 3 (and all other android devices without pressure support like my sgs3). If you use your finger it sticks to 1.00 and when you use the pen it scales between 0.00 and 1.00.

Now on our notes normal touch input with finger only registers as very low pressure (~0.15) and I'm pretty sure that causes the shaking.

And what I conclude from that is that it should be a simple software fix in the driver to correct that. Finger = 1.00 prs. Any way to let samsung know about this? Or maybe even a dev could try to fix that in a custom rom?

I have a GT-N8013 and a SM-P600, both units return the same numbers that your 2014 edition does but only my 2014 has the shake bug.

.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] clouds5:
Yeah well at this point it's just a wild theory :angel: could also be something else that is causing the problem and not the prs thing. But I'm pretty sure it's the driver being too sensitive or not accurate enough with finger input.

But we'll have to wait and hope for samsung to fix it with an update i guess. I just hope they are aware of the problem...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] kkretch:
I also think it is software and not a hardware issue.

.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] hmukarram:
hardware problem

I think it's a hardware problem because I replaced it to another unit and it doesn't have the shaking problem now. Although there is a dead pixel now.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] clouds5:
Same Firmware and everything? I know that the nexus 7 had similar issues and it was fixed via software update so I really hope Samsung will release a new firmware soon.

From all the information I've gathered so far I can't see how it could be a hardware issue. It's just too sensitive when you use your finger and the driver is buggy in other ways too(see multi-touch issue thread).

If not it should be covered by warranty anyway. But seeing how many people have the issue just here on xda (small sample size), that would be extremely bad quality assurance for such a flagship device.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misspatti:
I have a Galaxy Tab 7, T-Mobile version (although I only use wi-fi, not data). I flashed once before using Overcome and it worked perfect, but after my tab started acting crazy - constantly crashing and rebooting - I tried to re-stock and re-flash. I went through the first steps - pit, GB safe stock, T-Mobile modem...and it all went fine, except it was stuck in boot. I tried the hidden pit, which I found in a troubleshoot thread - still stuck in boot.

Then I tried the dbdata.rfs in PDA, which I came across on Fix My IT System...still stuck in boot, and now if I try to load GB safe stock in PDA, I get a fail. Twice I have unplugged in Download, because of Fail and not advancing download...and both times when connect to Odin and load dbdata.rfs in PDA it resets and I can re-enter download mode and recovery<3e>, but it's still stuck in boot.

Is there any hope for me?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
If you are restocking and still failing, there is a possibility that your internal nand chip is failing. Also the fact that it suddenly start crashing initially.

There may be ways to run cm rom on external sd that is properly partitioned, if you still want to get some live out of your tab.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misspatti:
The thought had occurred to me, although I did fix the Odin stock load fail with some further digging (re-loaded USB drivers, plugged cable into different port). Still boot looping...doesn't even boot enough to get adb logcat.

P1 add hidden doesn't help, and makes the next attempt fail, and I have to reload drivers. Same with dbdata.rfs. Although after reflashing dbdata.rfs I can get to recovery<3e> and boot into download. Checksum fails after P1_add_hidden and after dbdata.rfs, but not after USB reload and GB Stock Safe flash. Still stuck at Samsung logo, though.

Is there any way to find out if the chip is my problem for sure, short of tearing the Tab apart?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] LunaEros:
Can someone give me any ideas why my tablets doing this?

Lately it seems that when I try to touch the screen to start an app or select a menu item or basically touch anywhere on the screen

it seems to activate in 2 spots like I'm touching the screen in 2 locations.

Anyone got an idea of what could cause this?

I was wondering if extra capacitance can cause it from being in the keyboard case I got for it or being warm although it doesn't feel that warm to me even though I have it on almost constantly and the ac adapter always connected.

I'm stumped and can't seem to find anything with Google that's like this problem.
