>but that stuck the umlauted keys ontop of things like - and ;

If you're learning Deutsch, I doubt a single key remap is adequate. Have hard-copy printout of the KB layout next to you, and refer to it. Or, if you just need the occasional ä/ö/ü, toggle out, type the char, and toggle back to ENG. Although English is now my primary language, this is what I do when I need to type in my native tongue.

Have not encountered issues with hibernating and disappearing keyboards. Then again, I don't do hib. The active keyboard has an indicator on the taskbar, so there shouldn't be confusion.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lozzd:
I thought, it would probably be a good idea to put a password on my XDA Mini S, because I don't want people accessing all my data and my phone. So, I set my simple 4 digit password, set it to automatic after 15 minutes, and turned off my device. I turned it back on, and the device was unlocked. I thought i was going crazy, so I tried a few more times, disable and re-enabled the password, but this is just rubbish. Does anyone else's Wizard unlock itself if the time till the password screen should be activated hasn't passed? So it works if I set it to display the password screen after 0 minutes, but even then i'm worried it might do something, such as, press the "Yes" button when the device asks me if I wish to format my memory card which it is doing increasingly.

Anyone experienced this?

Thanks!

yupz, i can imagine what do u feel with this problem. it also happened 2 me in the first time i changed my ROM to AKU2. and i also feel a little bit confuse bout it. BUT...

then i think it's more useful, because when u put ur device on standby (push the power button) and in a while suddenly u need 2 use ur device again u don't need 2 fill in the password. it will automatically lock ur device only when u don't use ur device in 15 minutes.

so it works when u don't use ur device in 15 miutes and when u set it to 0 minutes, it will put ur device on standby directly after u don't touch ur device in seconds and it makes uncomfortable.

that's all bout my experience 4 the device lock. i hope it can help ur confusion. Gut Luck!!!

Hello,

I'm new to this whole rooting thing (I need to root my device for a couple of apps from the Google Play store) and I've been reading all the forums and I'm scratching my head going over all the information and I want to make sure I get it right so I don't brick my phone. Here is my situation:

- I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900T) on T-Mobile USA which was purchased October 2013

- This phone is stock from T-Mobile and has never had any type of mods, etc done to it

- 2 days ago, I upgraded the software OTA to KitKat 4.4.2

- I do NOT have the 'multitouch' issue as described in some of the forums

All I want to do at the end of the day is root my phone, without damaging it - preferably without tripping KNOX either (if possible).

It is confusing to me which thread to follow. I see links / instructions for CF-Root, CF-Auto-Root, Root De La Vega, etc are from October 2013 (not sure if this latest OTA update changes the steps) and I don't know which one to use without damaging my phone. I have the AP, CP, CSC information if this helps. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobbyphoenix:
Follow this exactly from step 4 (since you already have 4.4.2), and you will have no issues. All root methods as of now trip KNOX, so if you really don't want to do that, don't root.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gil_happy:
Thanks for this! Will this erase my phone back to defaults? Do I need to backup my phone prior to rooting it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobbyphoenix:
Everything will stay as is. None of the steps does a factory reset. All that will happen is you gain root, and will be able to use the SD card like you did on 4.3. As far as a back up goes I don't think you can on stock. You need the custom recovery which this will give you. Then you can do that if you want.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gil_happy:
Great, thanks again. I will try this tomorrow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobbyphoenix:
Just some tips if you haven't used ODIN before, or used custom recoveries. When it does its thing, and reboots, make sure ODIN says PASS before disconnecting or shutting off. It's not in the instructions since those doing this know this, but just giving a heads up. Also on the last step after flashing the SD card fix it says to back out until you see REBOOT. When you do that you have two options. You want to press the option 1. NO, and not 2. Reset/stop custom recovery. Again it's not in the post, but you want to keep the custom recovery active, so always select NO.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gil_happy:
Thanks so much BobbyPhoenix! Looks like everything is working and my phone is not bricked :)

Now that I have rooted my phone, I need to read up on what else I can do besides use apps from the Google Play that require root access, e.g. removing bloatware and using my phone as an Access Point.

Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobbyphoenix:
Good to hear. One of my first apps I install is AdAway. It's not in the Play Store because Google bans all ad-blockers. If you hate ads (like me) this is a must have. If you want to try it here is the link. After you install it, and open it for the first time to install the hosts, you may be prompted to do a symlink. This is normal. Just press yes. Enjoy your root!

You don't have to download the F-Droid app. Just look for "download apk" under the latest version which right now is 2.8.1.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gil_happy:
Good morning all, since my post above back in March, my rooted Note 3 has worked great. Today, when I connected my phone to Kies3, I see that there is an available firmware update from:

PDA:NB4 / PHONE:NB4 / CSC:NB4 (TMB)

to

PDA:NE6 / PHONE:NE6 / CSC:NE6 (TMB)

Are there any precautions I need to take if I want to upgrade to the latest firmware using Kies3 if my phone is rooted using the above procedure?

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] golfcartguy:
Not sure if Kies will let you update firmware as you are rooted.

You can update to the NE6 Firmware by using Odin.

Find firmware either in this forum or elsewhere and flash away.

There was a good thread here on the Tmobile GN3 Forum with dl links, and steps.

Be well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gil_happy:
Thanks... I'll see what I can find.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jdidtht:
Yes there is, when you Odin, make sure you are on stock kernel, and then before you go into Odin go ahead and run triangle away, then boot into download mode. Just seems some people have had issues getting modem to flash, and getting boot loader to flash. Other than that you will have no issues. Thanks man.
[Moto X Q&A] sshanky:
[Q] Camera uses "Photos" as default viewer -- I want to use "Gallery"

I thought I would like using the new "photos" app that is provided on the Moto X. It has nice editing functions and it also uploads photos to Google for me as a backup.

However, I am not happy with it -- reviewing photos doesn't work because it makes the photos very dim, and there are other issues with it making me want to go back to Gallery as the app that the Camera will use when I review photos I've just taken.

Problem is, I can't find the "Photos" app listed in Settings -> Apps anywhere. I've checked everywhere. So I can't clear the defaults. I've even downloaded a default app settings app, and Photos doesn't show up in there, either. It says Gallery is still my default app, so I cleared that default. Still, when I take a pic and the slide to the left to review it, Photos is the app that shows my image.

Anyone have any ideas how to undo my selection of it as the default viewer app from the Camera?

Thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] jasoraso:
I think the "Photos" gallery is part of Google+.

Maybe you can uninstall updates and then freeze that app to force it to reset to the gallery that is tied to the Camera app?
[Moto X Q&A] aldouse:
Settings >> Apps >> Google+ >> clear defaults.

Photos is part of google+, so you'll need to clear the defaults for all of the apps tied to it.

Looks like you restored a backup that included efs. EFS is unique to every handset and cannot be recovered without a backup. In short, you just ruined your phone

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leAndroid91:
so it's the same for nexus and samsung?

- flash stock

- wipe data/factory reset

- delete efs folder

- flash stock rom

There isn't an "efs folders" and you shouldn't delete anything. Just flash stock

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haristah:
Hello

As an initial note, I am not at all a techie guy. But I wanted to load Jelly Bean on to my Xperia Arc S. So I tried the following which I believe I should not have tried.

1. Rooted the device using ERoot 1.2

2.Unloaked the bootloader by following the steps described in sony website

3. Tried to flash Kernel using flashtool (latest from flashtool website) but was unsuccessful. It always says you need to root the device to flash in the activity log. But when I come out of fastboot mode, the flash tool always says the deice connected and it says the devise is rooted. But it never permits to flash the kernel in fastboot mode. I tried with different kernels, but unsuccessful.

4. So out of curiosity, I just decided to proceed with installation of jelly bean based on cynagenmod 10. So downloaded the Jelly bean ROM & doodle apps and copied to sd card.

5. I installed the CWM using x tool from play store.

6. opened the recovery mode and deleted all cache and other thing as per a video in you tube. Then proceeded with the installation of Jelly Bean and google apps. Installation was successful.

7. But when I restarted the phone, it just shows sony logo and hangs. It never starts.

8. After this I tried to flash a kernel again, it still says the devise is not rooted.

9. After reading few forum threads I decided to relock the bootloader and use pc companion to reload ICS or GB. I flashed a bootloader locker ftf file and was successful.

Now my phone is still showing only sony logo while boots and nothing. The PC companion is not detecting. Am stuck now. I don't know what to do. Please help. I donno if I did something wrong and l will have to discard my phone.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
It's not the end of the world.

Did you follow all the steps correctly? Because the next step says....

"Device must be rooted" error means bootloader is not unlocked. Check over, if you unlocked it properly, got all the codes correct etc.

There is no need for that. Custom kernels include Recovery already.

The issue there, is that this ROM and kernel do not work together in combination. ICS kernel must go with ICS ROM, GB with GB etc. Kernel was not installed, thereby you were with JB ROM, but ICS kernel (Sony logo).

Locking bootloader didn't change anything. You have to restore your phone to full stock ICS with Flashtool. Download complete ICS firmware FTF file and flash it with Flashtool.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haristah:
Hey, Thanks for the reply.

I understand I need to restore ICS and ICS kernel completely. But for some reason I cant flash using the flash tool as it says the device is not rooted. But honestly I have rooted the device using ERoot and have unlocked the bootloader. I believe that is the reason why I was able to install the JB ROM.

Now I have 2 problem in front of me.

1. I cant flash as it says the device is not rooted

2. I have relocked the bootloader

what's next??
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Flashtool does not need root or anything to flash ICS. You are doing something wrong then.

You have to flash whole FTF file in Flashmode. If you occur any error messages, post them here.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mattiadj:
Hello guys,

after a lot of test and research with my friend [MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION] finally i want ask to all community help us to fix a problem of touchwiz rom.

This thread is also to try to understand who have this problem as me.

First of all the scenario:

- i9505

- KK touchwiz rom (not important the base, i have tried omega, wanamlite,goldeneye, pure stock)

- Stock or custom kernel, is not important since this problem happens also on completely stock rom and kernel

The problem

After heavy playing games for 5/10 minutes the performance became very very low! Game starts to lag a lot and in few minutes became not really playable! The phone is quite hot in the upper part but not really really hot! Exiting game can fix the problem but not always. Only a complete reboot can fix completely the problem!

So i have decide to investigate and i have installed app like KtMonitor (included in kt kernel) or perfmon (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1933284) and i have noticed a very strange think!!!

When game start for the first time the cpu speed is max at 1890mhz

After a while the cpu goes to 1458mhz and stays at this freq for a while

After some minutes it scales down to 1242, then to 1134, then to 1026 then to 918 mhz!!!

*When 1134 mhz is reached gpu goes down to 304 mhz and when cpu is at 1026 freq the gpu is at 128/200

In this way the game is not playable anymore!

The only way to see again values upper 1242/1458 is to reboot or wait a long time (and this suggest me a thermal problem)

How reproduce the problem to see if i'm the only one or not!

Install ktmonitor or perfmon (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1933284) and lauch it

Install an heavy game such as Asphalt 8 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA8HM) or Real racing 3 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ea.games.r3_row) or Front line commando 3 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glu.flc2) or Ridge Racer Slipstream (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.namcobandaigames.ridgeracerss)

Play for some minutes one of these games and during play monitor cpu and gpu (if you are using ktmonitor)

You should notice the cpu scale!

When u report your situation please report also your:

Rom (version also)

Kernel (version also)

Kernel settings (if available)

Bootlaoder version

Particular apps installed

Particular mod flashed

Thanks to all people who want's help me and the community to make these tests and try to find and fix the problem! If we wait for sammy fix...we can die before :)

Thanks to all!!

if you want to go back to the T-Mobile original settings, you need to upgrade to the custom ROM and then downgrade back. If you just want to have the T-Mobile settings, stick with the 2.17 custom rom that Xelecin cooked. I've found that his 2.21 rom was a lttle buggy, but his 2.17 rom is spot on. It has the cid/sim unlockers built in.
