Registered my Note II got a free flip cover and "Tec Tiles", registered my Note III got a 50% off under $50 code.

Thanks Samsung, and thanks to the OP for this thread! :good:

I was a little frustrated because I tried to use mine to get the s-view case with wireless charging ($69.99). No errors or anything, it just wouldn't take it. So now I'll look for something cheaper. Thanks for the heads up!

Hi, this may sound a bit stupid but here it goes

I have a Xperia X10 & I'm looking for a new device, I want to choose between LG G2 & Nexus 5, now my primary option is Nexus 5, however I'm worried about the battery life

I checked threads regarding battery life but different users, different settings, different results......

So I want to know if anyone here has owned Xperia X10 before, how's the battery life comparing to X10? becuase I really need it to be at least the same as X10

Thanks a lot, appreciate it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangosierra_:
Obviously both are much better than x10. In fact everything about both phones are better than the x10. You are talking about a 2013 device versus a 2010 device...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
I owned one and thought it ran well with the battery. But my Nexus 5 beats it by a mile. The battery sucked though running timeline I think it used to be called on the x10. Get the nexus 5 over the g2. Automatic updates and multiple network choices. Battery will be better. I would be surprised if it was worse.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
If you're worried about battery, before I put my phone on charge last night it was on 6% battery. It had been unplugged for 2 days and had 5 hours on the screen, as well as voice calls and making a twrp backup
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riginal:
Thanks for your responses

I know nexus 5 beats X10 in every aspect, but my main concern is battery life, I'm not heavy user at all, but I'm always connected to wifi, I don't do web browsing in phone but use wifi for social apps like whatsapp and some other apps, not much music or video, but I frequently use camera & offline gps navigation, right now I hardly get a full day with my X10, I used to get more than one day not sure if it was because I now use the phone heavier or my battery is dying after three years of use

Anyways from what I've read, both nexus 5 & lg g2 had (& stil have) software issues but I know I can trust Google better to fix them & I'd really love to own a Nexus for the first time

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jono652:
Hello everyone!

Here is my perplexing dilemma, I rooted my Z at 4.1.2 and had no issues running any rooted Apps. I felt like holding off on any custom ROMs until i checked out the new 4.3 so I updated it and then I lost my root and my bootloader said I can not unlock it. Do I have to downgrade to root it again or is there something i am missing??

I appreciate any help that I can get due to my lack of experience with this but my high interest in it.

I flashed 4.4.2 the Polish leak...

To flash the branded version it needs to be repartitioned first - I have read its the same with Vodafone branded ones in other countries, too

I would need the Germany (T-Mobile) pit file - or any 4.4.2 T-Mobile or Vodafone PIT file even from an other country if compatible

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pb1153:
I bought three N5 for my parents and myself. The flap cases for the first two of them work well: when the flap is lifted up, the screen wakes up; when the flap is folded, the screen shuts down. However, the third one doesn't work well. Sometimes it works like the other two, but most time it doesn't.

The proximity sensor works well when I make calls. I also installed "Proximity sensor finder" to test the sensor, which actually detects the case accurately. But for some reason I don't know, the Android system doesn't shut down the screen even when the sensor detects a folded case. Anybody knows what the problem might be and how to fix it? Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Most proximity sensor cases have a magnet near where the volume rocker is. Do all three of your cases have that?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pb1153:
No, none of them has a magnet.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
Would the phone in question happen to have a screen protector? Sometimes the screen protector can cause this issue if it isn't installed correctly. Make sure the proximity sensor/light sensor isn't covered by the screen protector.

sent from my neXus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
They have to. That's the way they turn off the screen. It's not the same sensor that turns off the screen when you're on the phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pb1153:
Yes, there is a screen protector, which has a whole at the location of the proximity sensor, so it shouldn't be a problem. What baffles me is that "Proximity sensor finder" is able to detect the case cover accurately, but the system cannot respond correctly.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pb1153:
I see. This explains the problem. It seems that the tiny magnet in my case is not effective as it doesn't fold perfectly. Thanks a lot!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
If you're 100% sure that the screen protector isn't obstructing the sensor then I would then clean around the area where the sensor is with a micro fiber cloth. If that doesn't doing anything then I would temporary switch the flip case with the one on your parents N5. It is possible that the case on one phone can be faulty. If that still doesn't work then I'd factory reset the phone.

And if that doesn't work... I'd get a warranty replacement. More than likely you have a faulty case.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its not relevant. They don't work with proximity. They use the hall effect magnetic sensor
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
You're actually right come to think of it.

sent from my neXus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pb1153:
I think I should blame the faulty case, as jd1639 and rootSU also pointed out. The magnet in the case is not effective. I believe what jd1639 has said, screen on/off during calls uses proximity sensor, but the response to case flap relies on magnet.

Hi, is there anyone know how to root a china galaxy s4 ?? Thanks in advance ...
[General Questions and Answers] jmindset:
Where is it? Can't find it. Does it exist? I'm interested in buying it but not sure yet. Another question, if I buy it locked from amazon can I use it without a plan aka phone service? I'm planning to use it strictly for wifi/gps. As a tablet. Anyone know?
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
from a quick search it looks like it does not have a forum on XDA, but androidforums has one. as for the 2nd question, you are able to use it without a phone service and still use the wifi/gps.

i would recomend getting a moto g instead if your not going to use it for service. its $100 less on amazon but the F7 beats its specs by a little. theres a bigger display on the F7, bigger battery, better CPU (Dual core 1.5ghz vs quad core 1.2ghz) better Camera and expandable storage (MicroSD) while the moto g punchs the F7 with a Higher ppi (pixels per inch) and a hugely better GPU and will be updated to higher versions of android and has a active community on XDA.
[General Questions and Answers] jmindset:
Thanks. But they cost the same (200 dollars) on Amazon. So being "locked" won't make it unusable? It HAS to have a external micro sd card slot. So the moto g is not a good choice to me. I love love everything about the moto g EXCEPT the fact that it doesn't have the external sd card. So it has to be between the optimus f7 or optimus g. Both 200 dollars on amazon. Here's the link

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00D99J6IG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1391728844&sr=8-1
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
When it means "locked" it means its locked to the carrier, but since its boost mobile you can most likely use it on sprint. As for the price, the moto g is $99 on Verizon (amazon) and $129 on boost mobile (amazon)
[General Questions and Answers] jmindset:
But the thing is that I don't plan on connecting it. I plan to use it strictly as a wifi only device. So being unlocked or locked doesn't matter if I don't plan on connecting it with a phone plan? Sorry for asking. For example would it matter if I got the cheaper prepaid moto g or the more expensive unlocked version?
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
I totally know what you mean mate, you are able to use any android device just for WiFi without a data plan,( it might prompt you to activate it but you can just ignore it) if you bought one of them you will be able to use it just like your using your galaxy player 4.2. I was only telling you the carrier info just in case you want to use it in the future :)
[General Questions and Answers] jmindset:
Awesome. You pretty much fully answered my questions. Thanks a ton. Now I feel safer buying locked phones. Thanks again :)
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:

Use ES file explorer or whatever you like and simply create an empty text file called .nomedia

Copy it to all of the folders you don't want to see in the gallery and reboot.

Those folders will not be scanned and will not show up in gallery.

I created the file from the internal memory folder and once the file was created, it disappeared.. Or I can't find it at least..

Where is the actual file? I need to delete it and create it in each of the folders I actually want to hide..

Edit: I found the file by showing hidden files and deleted it..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinjin12:
i'm AOKP on my Nexus 4 atm. I've heard that even if you do OTA for custom rom or flash a new custom rom like cyangomod mod or another AOKP rom, the baseband WOULD NOT be updated but rather it keeps the baseband that your phone originally came with, i was told custom roms can't change your baseband.

However, i was also told that installing a new stock rom like going from stock 4.3 to 4.4 would update your baseband. Or if you're on stock 4.3 and do an OTA upgrade to 4.4, it would also update your band.

so custom roms can't update or change your baseband via OTA or flashes and Stock roms can?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Custom roms can change your baseband, its just that they choose not to most (if not all) of the time. In other words, they have the potential to do it, but they dont.

Its the same with ota's or stock roms. They can change the baseband...sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't. It all depends on what has been included in the .zip and what the edify script tells the recovery to do.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
It is common practice not to change radio/baseband with a custom ROM as flashing firmware can be dangerous and shouldn't be done unless needed.

To top it off flashing any firmware through recovery is the least safe way to do it, granted that is how OEMS will do OTAs which often come with new firmware.

So to answer your question you will pretty much never get a new radio packaged with a custom ROM, but when there is an ota that comes with a new radio you will.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Naturesretard:
I've been rooting since OG Evo days, but only played with that, the s2, and s3. Rooting was easy as pie. But with all this knox stuff I'm wary.

I recently read reports of people sending in their phones to both Samsung and tmobile and getting it back with knox restored but still maintaining sim unlocks. So obviously it's a well kept firmware they flash or perhaps signatures.

This in mind I used kingoapp, and root was easy. Just decline the recovery install and you'll maintain 0x0. But after this new information I'm still worried to trip knox for fear those restores we're just a fluke.

Anybody have luck with safestrap? I heard/read it doesn't replace recovery so it also won't trip knox? Also, as long as I don't flash kernels or recovery I'll be good right? Like i can delete bloat or install at root level to /system and I'll be fine?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pvinayraju2k4:
As long as you just root it nothing happens system will be fine .... Plssss hit thanksss.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Naturesretard:
Thanks for the info. However in the future there's no need to request we thank. I've learned most people here on xda thank quite often, myself included.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] asianflavor:
First off, the above poster is wrong... can't believe he asks for a thank. When you install a custom recovery, that is when you trip Knox. There a method to install a custom ROM w/o a recovery using Mobile Odin Pro. I know nothing about that but have read here that it works. You just can't flash custom kernel. I went ahead and flash a custom recovery because I don't care about Knox and will never send this phone to Samsung for warranty repair.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Naturesretard:
Just the fact most of us have insurance plans; if we discover a problem such as faulty gps or screen displacement, etc, tmobile fixes it for us anyway, right?

So it really doesn't matter if we trip knox, correct???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] asianflavor:
From everything I read, yes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Towle:
He's not wrong. There are a couple different methods of rooting that don't require a custom recovery, therefore don't trip Knox.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Naturesretard:
I guess I shouldn't bother with safestrap then. Was planning on trying to pay off the note 3 and keep it anyway instead of jumping again this year.

Either way it won't matter...until I do eventually get a new handset but even then I know enough about rooting I shouldn't need to repair this one once paid off and detached from my account.

my next question is then should I TWRP or cwm? I tried CWM for the first time since gingerbread on my s3 and fell in love with it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Naturesretard:
Ty for the explanation. Unfortunately, that is if you took the time to write that or just copied, I knew most if not all of the risks. As I said earlier I've been rooting since gingerbread.

However, it's quite informative and anybody else who is new to rooting shall find it helpful.

Kernels are more or less a bios, if you will. But they are specific to builds. You can't use aosp on tw and vice versa. There are other key features but I can't remember off the top of my head. Basically no kernel =/= no phone or no features such as camera.

You're right about the s4, but if I'm not mistaken it was believed to be an eFuse, as was for the note 3 too. Although other members have said they got it back reset, 0x0, and sim unlocks intact to fix other issues like broken gps. Therefore it is believed to be software at a signature level.

And I'll look into philz, loved it on the s3. If you ever have q's about root feel free to pm me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] asianflavor:

Not allowed to do any posts in the Android Revolution HD (ARHD) forum yet http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1925402 so I'll share my experience here.

It seems like people sometimes have various issues after a Note II N7100 upgrade to AHRD rom 4.3 20.0 (or 20.1) , from earlier 4.1.2 versions like 19.0 and after reading all posts of this upgrade of various tips, fixes and install steps, I felt it was time to try the upgrade myself. It turned out to be successful without any issues with root working as well as everything else with a "butter" smooth experience since 2 weeks back..

These are the steps I followed.

- There was some importance regarding a specific bootloader that was recommended to flash first and also a custom recovery.

I was in version AHRD 19.0 on bootloader LJ3 but MJ5 was recommended most often. So MJ5 was flashed with Odin v3.09

- Next a custom recovery was mentioned and it seemed that most people were successful with TWRP 2.6.3.1

So I flashed TWRP 2.6.3.1 with Odin v3.09.

- Then the AHRD 20.1 rom was transferred to EXT SD card on the phone.

- Next, a wipe of data was done in TWRP

- Then the rom AHRD 20.1 rom was flashed after following the AROMA install procedure.

- After successfull boot, all my apps were installed from my Titanium backups.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberboob:
Good you shared this with people who having trouble... but some may ask if you were able to update the SuperSU... then reboot and see if you still have root?

TWRP or Philz touch recovery (6.1.28) seem to work good (less problems).

Someone else also posted success like this:

1. Flash latest Philz touch recovery (6.1.28).

2. wipe everything (pick option flash new rom).

3. flash ARHD 20.1.

4. Reboot and set up everything like usual.

5. Update supersu and everything else/ restore titanium backup

Good luck to all.
