Well you don't have to actually try the procedure to see what it does. All the functions in the Toolkit have detailed explanations of what they do before you go ahead with it, I wouldn't want anyone doing anything to their devices without first knowing what was going to happen. If you select option 4 you will get the following information:

This will install KNOX disabler [free] apk to your device.

Samsung KNOX is an enterprise mobile security solution that addresses the needs of
enterprise IT without invading its employees' privacy. The service, first released
on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 mobile device, provides security features that enable
business and personal content to coexist on the same mobile device. Samsung Knox is
an Android-based platform that uses container technology, among other features, to
allow for separation of work and personal life on mobile devices.

Flashing unsigned or modified images via ODIN will set KNOX to 0x1.
KNOX bootloader verifies signatures of kernels and recoveries.
No custom ones possible without voiding the KNOX warranty.
KNOX is mandatory and cannot be completely removed.

AFTER THE APP IS INSTALLED YOU MUST GO TO THE APPS DRAWER, RUN 'KNOX DISABLER' AND
MAKE SURE TO GRANT SUPERUSER PERMISSIONS. NOTIFICATIONS SHOULD THEN BE DISABLED
UNTIL A NEW FIRMWARE IS FLASHED.

NOTE: This app will only install if Samsung Knox is present on your device. If it
is not on your device then the install will fail.

IMPORTANT: YOUR DEVICE MUST BE IN ADB MODE [WITH USB DEBUGGING ENABLED] AND HAVE
ROOT ACCESS [SUPERUSER] FOR THE APP TO WORK.

Can you try downloading/reinstalling the Toolkit again as that shouldn't happen. The size is preset so that everything fits in perfectly (I have the same OS).

trojan-ransom.win32.gib detected by Kaspersky

Hi there,

I downloaded the Unified_Android_Toolkit_v1.5.2.exe and Kaspersky blocked it. I tried to do it again later in the day and the same thing happened. It is specific about the object name that is giving it problems - trojan-ransom.win32.gib. I am using Windows 10. I have included a link to the screen clipping of the Kaspersky error message.

I am trying to un-freeze a Galaxy S4 ATT model SGH-1337. Thanks.

Hi Everyone, hope everybody's well. I have a galaxy S4 which is rooted. I tried recently to unroot it by following advice online. Let me admit at once that as for being tech savvy, I'm a complete nerd! In a nutshell, after deleting some files, the phone won't boot past the logo. I don't have a computer and have been using the three buttons to access the recovery mode? I have downloaded various custom roms to a tab, then transfer to an sd card. As the recovery mode starts, the android icon appears in a prone position with the words "no command". All of the zip files fail to load, with various error messages such as not being able to read and verify signatures etc. Please help!

Hello Everyone

I'm not sure if this is just me but I've tried to use my keypad tones and touch tones recently and the sound is very low even if its already on volume full.. Is there anyway to tweak to make it louder?

would there be an xposed frameworks for fix this?

Is this also considered as a bug?

Thank you in advance.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRX120:
Got my nexus 5 today, and I have ran across an issue (I think its common) of android deleting the timestamps of images when you transfer them to a new device. I tried copying with windows, Bluetooth, NFC (Superbeam) but all these ways reset the timestamps of the pictures and just kinda screw up the whole collection.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEijk:
You can edit metadata manually on a pc with third-party software. I had to do it a little time ago, but I don't know the application's name anymore. Google probably knows :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The metadata doesn't change. What does change however is the file's "created" time stamp, which means teh images you took no longer show up in file managers / gallery etc in the order you took them.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEijk:
I thought the metadata of a file includes this timestamp?

Edit: You're right.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRX120:
I'm surprised there's not some way, this is 2014, and they have 2k 5" displays and phones with 18mo cameras why can't the phone save the timestamp when I copy a picture?

I just decided to use auto backup and not transfer the photos to my 5 because without timestamps from 1 an a half years of photos the collection looks real messy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Alex11B:
I ran into a little problem the other day. I was trying new things and tried to save all my apk files to a new sd card i picked up that is 32gb male for samsumg. After that tried to transfer music and pictures and my laptop wont recognize either. I was thinking about reflashing the rom and just starting fresh. Will that fix it? And what about the sd card? If us ing the wicked rom that btw is awesome! Thanks for year help in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dragonstalker:
are you on JB or KK and what class of card is it

SD card is a 32 gig Sdhc class 6. And I'm not sure if jelly bean or KK. How do I find out? I just rooted and flashed wicked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dragonstalker:
go to settings>general>about device

whats your baseband and rom name
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Alex11B:
here took a screen shot. Thank you by the way for taking the time to help out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dragonstalker:
first i would use a custom kernel. Then on pc go to hardware devices and delete the samsung drivers. Go to sammy site and download kies 3.0. should fix you up.

Your still on Jellybean 4.3 btw.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Alex11B:
I'll try it. But I did want to start over and reflash the rom. You think that would fix the problem or would I still have to install kies and all that. And what's the difference between JB and KK? Would I be better off with KK? Sorry for the noob questions. I'm not a programmer or anything I just like to tinker haha.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] d12unk13astard:
Going off that screenshots of wicked, your still on 4.3 jellybean and have not officially updated to kitkat. If your sdcard is not being recognized I would try using a SD card adapter and put into a computer and see if it picks it up in order to backup any data and then possibly format it to fat or exfat. I use mini tool partition to do all my formats and or partitioning if needed on my sdcards, it's a free program just google it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jordan8201:
My house is apparently in between a 4G & 3G tower. I can very rarely pick up 4G, but I'm looking for a method or app that will force the phone to only connect to a 4G tower. Is that possible? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Zscott87:
So I've actually been doing the same thing. Using my hotspot it will boot me off of whatever is connected when it auto switches from 3g to 4g.. Here's what I do. From dialer enter ##data#

You should see view and edit. Click on edit and it will prompt you for your MSL (if you don't have it there are some apps on play store that will provide it) Once youve entered it scroll all the way to the bottom and click on "more", then click HDR/1X selection, then finally click LTE Only mode. That's it! You won't be able to make/receive calls while is on but when you're done just switch it back. Hope this helps

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] w7excursion:
Forcing it does not guarantee it'll connect either. You could end up with no service or dropped 4g with no notice. It's a pain if you're downloading a movie that can't be picked up where it left off. Rapidgator etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartanier7:
Heyo,

i am looking or an extension somewhat like tinted status bar. I want to give Navbar and satusbar different color for each app. I know Tinted Status bar does that but here are the reasons i don´t want to keep it:

1: the status bar does no fluent fade when I open an app but it flickers. A lot.

2: when you are in an app that can hide the header on scrolling actions (just like reddit sync) the app does a thing that really annoys me. When the header is there the status bar blends in and becomes grey, when it fades it just goes back to black. Even when i set custom colors it does that.

So is there any way i can do that? I´d also have no Problem setting all the colors manually.

Thanks in advance!

PS: I don´t know if this is the right subforum for requests, if not please move this thread.

Have a nice day :good::)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josh7414:

Hello, I'm upgrading soon and would like to know if anyone has experiences with both the Note 2 and S4. I know the spec differences and I'm leaning towards the Note. I would just like opinions of people the have used both. Thanks

Edit: sorry, needs to be moved to q&a section.

Sent from my Jelly Beaned Infuse 4G!
[Galaxy Note II General] kuromusha38:
get the S4, so much better than the Note 2, it's faster, better camera, more pocketable, more pixels, better screen, higher ppi, better software, longer battery life and so on.

The only thing Note 2 has is the stylus.
[Galaxy Note II General] Droiderr:
S4 is definitely a better option while doing a direct comparison. Since the price is almost same for both the phones its a pretty valid question.

The are 2 departments in which note 2 excels:

1. Considerably Huge battery

2. Spen with handwriting recognition and a bunch of other features.

So decide accordingly. If u can live without these 2 features go for S4 without hesitating.
[Galaxy Note II General] nidhish91:
Did you say longer battery life? You sir need an intervention.
[Galaxy Note II General] Imranhakro:
Note 2.... Hands down...

10 Months back i was in the same situation as u... but i opted Note 2 and very much satisfied that i made a right choice.

It's been 10 months now but i still don't feel need to upgrade to Note 3 either. This beast really rocks.

Now I've updated it to 4.3 as well, through OTA :D

S4 is a phone like all other phones, But Note 2 is "Note 2"

[Galaxy Note II General] romica:
Used to be a S4 owner but i sold it to buy Note 2 and i don't regret.

S4 over Note 2

- better display quality but not a huge difference , our eyes cannot make such a big difference between their ppi's.

- better camera , here you can see the differences.

- newer software ( but honestly i still prefer android 4.3 instead of 4.4 )

Note 2 over S4

- way much better battery , around 6+ hours of screen on with 1h games + 1h talk + 80% of the day wi-fi on

- better gaming , since the display it's bigger

- nicer design

This is my opinion,i hope it will be helpful for you.
[Galaxy Note II General] whtsoxfan1:
Thanks for the input everyone! I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the Note II. I went with my gut on the Infuse and that was a great phone, now I'm going with my gut again on the Note.

[Galaxy Note II General] -Aatif-:
Go with Galaxy S4
[Galaxy Note II General] ArmorD:
Seriously? Please add some context. Both phones are good but they're meant for different people. Well, sort of.

S4 is a more "mainstream" phone. A phone nobody will have problem using. A phone that is "compact" and has all the features necessary and more. It is meant to act as a phone suitable for everybody.

Note 2,different story. Bigger screen, stylus and note taking apps etc. Do the math. Note is basically a phone originally meant to replace paper and pencil. Of course it's much more than that. In fact most of us buy it because it has bigger screen. Also it's kind of less "mainstream" if you ask me. Want to differ from the crowd? Lol just joking.

I got Note not because I have particularly large hands but I still enjoy a big screen and like taking notes etc and act all cool by using the stylus. Joking again, I find the stylus rather useful.

So there you go, pick your side. Note(pun not intented) that S4 Is one generation ahead(year older), but the under-the-hood differences aren't too notable if you ask me. Personally I love big screens. Makes power usage easy and fun. Sure the big screen can be a disadvantage sometimes, can't argue with that.

[Galaxy Note II General] bahtsiz_bedevi:
Note 2 and S4 are different type of devices. It totally depends on your needs.

If you are doing an office job like appointments, taking notes, reading mails etc, Note 2 is a better option.

But if mobility is important for you, go with S4.

Note 2's successor is Note 3, not S4

[Galaxy Note II General] GaneshMJ:
S4., much faster than note 2 :good:
[Galaxy Note II General] ArmorD:
In my experience S4 and Note 2 are equally fast. S4 gets better benchmark scores but imo benchmark numbers are irrelevant if the device itself feels fast.

Been using my Note 2 for two days now. I came from S2 and man this device feels like it's from a different world. So unbelievably fast. I was going for LG G2 but I'm not too big of a fan of LG and I don't find any complaints about samsung phones. I absolutely love the screen, down side is that I'm probably never going to be able to use a phone with smaller screen [emoji5]

I just hope the casing would be something else than glossy plastic. I know there are cases out there but still, kind of a turnoff for me...

[Galaxy Note II General] Distinguishable:
If you like screen real estate, I'd go with the Note 2, S4 may be newer but S-Pen features are useful if you use pens/styli often.
[Galaxy Note II General] tuktukscotty:
I first had the original note. It was big but not very good. Then had s4, it was good but once you've got over the newness it was just another phone...... sold that to get a note 2. An absolutely amazing phone. Got a note 3 for Christmas. It was very good....... But, not as much fun as note 2 as there is nothing really special on custom roms. I have recently sold my Note 3 And am sticking with my Note 2. I don't really use the stylus on my Note 2 as I have a note 10.1. Next for me is the new pro 12....
[Galaxy Note II General] dredision:
cant agree more

Note 2 is a champion
[Galaxy Note II General] abhishek0821:
I haven't tried s4 ever. But my note 2 is the best thing I ever had. I was having same confusion as note 2 or s4 but a bigger screen was my final choice since all the review said notes processor is fast enough. Also there is a video on YouTube which you can watch. It has direct comparison between these two.
[Galaxy Note II General] whtsoxfan1:
Thanks everyone for your input. I used the info from all of you to help reinforce my decision to get the Note II. Unfortunately, AT&T has seen fit to screw up my order. So now, I am going to go with the Note 3, as some had suggested. I didn't really want to pay for a new phone, but not much choice now. I knew I could get helpful advice here, and again I thank you all for your responses!
