[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d8d8up:
Hi Eric, not too sure if you got your answer already. i am on RR kitkat ROM (SGS2), i had a related issue in that it has hard coded 8.8.8.8 as DNS and as a result, i can not use most open/free wifi, the authentication/term and condition page will not come up...

with some research, i found that in /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks/, there is this file called 20-dns.conf, in there, you may find there are 2 line similar to this

setprop dhcp.eth0.dns1 8.8.8.8

setprop dhcp.eth0.dns2 8.8.8.4

if you delete/comment this out, and reboot the device, it should work hopefully. that is how i fixed mine anyway. let me know if you still stuck.

cheers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d8d8up:
just to show the whole picture so someone else can save a bit of running around, here is a file very similar to the orginal 20-dns.conf note line 20 and 20, if you # it out, it should use the default gateway, or change it so it use one you prefer: ( this is copied from the github but i can not copy the like over due to new user restriction.)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericbergan:
Thanks for the pointer, but unfortunately that's not my issue. I checked the file, and there are no hard coded addresses.

I don't think it is at the system level - when I look at the network configuration, it is showing the correct DNS addresses to use. So I think it is one or more apps that have it hard coded. Since I'm only seeing it on my Samsung devices, I'm guessing it's one of theirs...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d8d8up:
oh... weird indeed. when i was trying to fix mine at the very beginning, i went to the wifi set up and found it was using DHCP, i therefore assumed it had no custom DNS but the router address as the DNS, which would be good and normal for me. but when i run getprop net.dns1 via the terminal of the phone, it gave me the 8.8.8.8 address.which led to the file mentioned above...

So I was bored today and decided to poke around the guts of my US tab pro 8.4 and after pulling the back off low and behold but despite popular belief the battery is not soldered. It is replaceable. Currently I'm looking at the WiFi deciding if I want to try to rig something up to fix this infernal thing.

Could you explain how you took off the back cover? I'm having battery issues with mine...
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] conan1600:
Ok so I have found a source of everyone's wifi Signal problem. Samsung used a cheap ribbon wifi antenna attached to the tablet back? It is on the lower left corner if your holding it in portrait. It is the single smallest and worst connected ribon wifi strip I have ever seen. Samsung cheaped out in a huge way on this and we are paying the price. Currently I am contemplating how I want to use to fix their mess.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] fusionx86:
I'm very curious about your explorations. Keep us up updated! I'd love to fix the weak wifi signal and possibly upgrade the battery later at some point.

I'd also like to know how big a deal it was to take the back off. I looked into doing the same but felt like I was going to break it.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] cloud71:

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] conan1600:
Well after a long day of playing around i managed to accomplish getting around the signal drop by using a peice of conductive metal tape as a carfully cut strip going down the speaker and across the battery. Works good. Till I played some more and broke my stupid wire connection. Now ima have to call samsung and see if they even sell the part which I doubt lol. Playing with the wifi antenna of a broken galaxy note 10.1 atm but it doesnt want to play nice. Still the conductive tape works well. If you dont break your tablet lol. I may do pics tomorrow
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] cloud71:

Here are some photos of the internals on the sm t320 I took apart

To disassemble the sm t320 I sinply used a prize tool around the screen edge. You can watch a video tutorial teardown of the note 10.1 2014. Same process
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] conan1600:
This is the tiny wifi antenna on the lower left of the tab pro 8.4 in portrait mode. I believe this is the cause of most of the signal woes on this tablet. It connects to a wifi board simply by pressure contact and it is not made of quality materials to give good range
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] conan1600:
This is 8.4 tiny wifi antenna card. After modifying this card several times in repeated attempts to get better and better signal I busted the contact of of this card. This called me no end of aggravation and it took me almost 10 hours to come up with hey new solutions so that I could get wifi signal again. I had to modify the chassis and use a note 10.1 wifi card in my galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. My signal is now as good as it ever was but no better due to the impedance of this card. I did succeed in boosting signal on the original but I got greedy. In the process of trying to figure out the part number of this board so I can order a new one. If you look closely you will see the contact for the wifi antenna that is attached to the inside of the back cover

If you can while it's apart, provide some quality detailed pics of the placements of the tabs holding the back on. And the best place to start disassembly.

When taking back off mine (8.4) I started at the sdcard location, which made it easier.

Just remember to be careful not to plunge tool into device to far and also to not break holding clips off.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xoulu:
Hello All

So I wanted to root my AT&T HTC One M8

I followed instruction from androidcentral...

Now my phone will not boot up it keeps booting to TWRP in recovery only... when I boot to the system I get red triangle and exclamation point

After reading on xda they (androidcentral) had me flash my boot image instead of booting to it....

My phone is not booting at all any suggestions?

How can I get the original stock boot image for the AT&T?

I got the latest recovery image from Mr Hofs's post, but where can I get the boot image?

Also anyone has videos on how to root and s off the m8 not m7

Thanks!!!!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
What do you see for sdcard size when you go to Twrp> install?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xoulu:
Nothing anymore...

I downloaded a backup from the thread collection of stock backup and flashed my boot and recovery and now the phone just sits at the HTC logo.

I am able to get to fastboot etc...

Does this mean I am missing the OS?

None of the backup has my CID on it so I don't want to backup from it.

Any suggestions?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xoulu:
Never mind. Went to the AT&T and found that someone made a backup

Going to use the backup copy and go from there

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erclalle:
Hello, having noticed that LG Quickwindow is rather awkward to open with the left hand (it opens on the left) I was wondering how could I enable a 180° rotation on the screen, which would allow me to use the phone upside down with my left hand. I'm sure many cyanogenmod or other roms might allow me to rotate any direction as was often was the case in my previous phones, but I would rather stay on stock for now, thus requiring a "flashable" feature.

Thank you in advance,
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
if you are rooted and have xposed you can try g2 xposed or g2 tweakboxs I know one of them(or both not sure make sure to read) has the option for 180 degree rotation

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skivnit:
I would like to have an idea of the dev support the phone will get. The s4 was a let down for me development wise, so it would be great to know which devs and how many will own the device. Wanam and AndreiLux won't get the s5 :(The M8 already got a good support.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surf1:
Yeh I hope this phone has good support, the GS2 was incredible and still being played with on the forums, I've had an i777 past few years and it had ridiculous support and still does (pry would have stuck with it for now and see what happens over the next year but I dropped it in ocean other day and rice sure as heck didn't save it lol). Have an early S4 too that wife has and it was rooted and rom'd, then all the firmware and updates happened and that's when Dev support almost died on that phone. I actually thought of getting an S4 for my upgrade instead but since it'd be from AT&T it would be on the current bang your head through a wall firmware/baseband.

I seriously hope the S5 is able to root and have rom support, and not the cluster f' the S4 is now but I doubt it considering Sammy made Knox etc even more complicated now.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skivnit:
Yea with Knox and all I just don't see much support, the s4 is just dead especially on the kernels side , I already preordered mine but now I'm not sure if I wanna keep it or cancel. The m8 is just a boring sexy phone (if you read the forums everyone is so scared they already put it in cases) so there's no other alternative atm
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surf1:
That's my problem, need a phone now as my i777 took a swim after being so careful with it for 2 1/2 years. But there's like nothing out there, I can get a refurbed S4 through AT&T for free on my upgrade but it'll have the current baseband/firmware so screwed there, I can get an M8 which is unlockable but has a crap camera (looks fine on phone, not so when you upload pics or use on desktop), or the S5 where your just perma screwed being locked and knox. There's nothing else, and can't wait as need a phone now. Sucks, so much for the days of Android being open. I'm seriously considering going back to Apple as much as I dread that as at least you can still jailbreak and not deal with all the headaches of rooting and flashing now (thats if you can), not like the i777 days where it was a breeze.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandroid13:
Dead? ROMs: Omega, Wanam, Echoe, Bobcat...

Kernels: KT, Adam, Faux, Alucard, Talexop...

I guess you're one more who doesn't have an idea of what Knox is, and then talks BS.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surf1:
I don't think he meant dead as in "dead" you can still play around just a huge headache, i got lucky and have an early model S4 for wife, I think he meant Dev work and support/updates once they started changing firmware/baseband that made it too much of a hassle for Devs to deal with. With the S5 being even more strict and encrypted from whats said so far of updated Knox, at least with U.S. Carriers, makes me feel like there will be very little support. Some known Devs have already said their not going to bother with the S5 or at least U.S. variants :p
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandroid13:
Well, there's a world outside the US. :p
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreiLux:
Just don't buy the international version (or more specifically third-world international version) if you're worried about this. The S4 was relatively lucky that I single-handedly did everything from scratch kernel side, else you'd be more disappointed.

Still don't see why anybody from the S4 gen would warrant buying the S5 or M8 when they'll be bashed by the end of summer.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
I wouldn't have bothered with the S5 if it wasn't for the deal I got from O2.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidInsanity:
I also hope for great dev support. Although I have tried to learn how to build ROMS many times and still haven't got an idea how to really. I will be more than willing to help any dev.

Getting the S5 on release date hopefully!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skivnit:
I know what Knox is and I was talking about the exynos variant, as Wanam left for the snapdragon version then he said the next phone is htc m8. I could care less about warranty I have been using smartphones since the beginning and I have never used the warranty. So yeah, if we end up with 3 devs that's "dead support to me"

Andreilux I know that by q3 more powerful phones will be on the market but my s4 is driving me crazy with sudden battery drains and wifi wakelocks, I just wanna get rid of if. And yes I'm thankful for your work since I used it on s3 n2 and s4
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degast:
I'm thinking of creating ROMs (at last!). I'm certainly buying the S5 and dev'ing for it.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
The S5 won't see a massive amount of non-stock roms, and certainly less than the Snapdragon S4. But there will be some with the architecture being open source unlike Somsung's Exynos. Also, there will be a lot of roms based on stock.

To be honest, I'm probably going to be happy sticking with stock anyway as certain features will be lost as soon as Samsung's framework is taken out of the equation (fingerprint recognition being the main one).

What I would really love to see more than anything else is an exploit-based root solution that doesn't trip the knox flag. But I believe the Note 3 4.4.2 roms still haven't had that so I'm not holding my breath for the S5. I'm still deciding if I should leave my phone unrooted when I get it on Friday or just bite the bullet and trip the flag the CF Auto Root. The idea of not being able to use Viper4Android isn't one that appeals.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlesg:
I wonder, what do you mean. Are we expecting something amazing by the end of the summer?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surf1:
I agree, Touchwhiz has gotten a lot better, and I just use GoLauncher Prime and DiCikonZ icon package so I can put up with no roms, but really want to see a solution to root w/o tripping knox. I hate bloat that comes on Sammy/AT&T phones. And I want my damn Tibu back that I paid for.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuckX:
Im in agreement with you on both points. I don't necessarily care about a custom ROM as much as I care about gaining root and getting rid of the bloatware. I am new to the Galaxy S world of things (my S5 arrives today!) so I am glad to know there is a potential early option although a non-preferable one that trips a no warranty flag. However as mentioned in someone elses reply I have never used a warranty option with a phone, but the one time I count on that I may be jinxing myself. ;)

Looking forward to getting my hands on this phone today, and hopefully root not too far behind.

I'm not into Roms that's I emphasize on kernel devs, that's how you unlock the phones potential

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pathtologos:
Hey all. I had the n5 a while back and at the time cataclysm was running great. I moved into a note 3 and within a month or so I really started missing my n5. So now I'm back. I see theres ALOT more ROMs and the cataclysm thread was locked. I flashed beanstalk and it's AWESOME but final fantasy dimensions and ff5 aren't working. PLUS, other games make the device hot enough to Fry an egg. So my question is kinda twofold: 1) will cataclysm (last updated in DEC of 2013 still work, and 2) what ROM out there has a great amount of customization but still runs games well?

Thanks so much.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Cataclysm got closed because it was just people continually posting about where the dev was. It's still fine. The download link is still the latest version 4.4.2 so if you wanna use it, do
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 072665995:
1. Cataclysm has and will always work. The customization based in Cataclysm ROM are essentially those that you can't get with apps. So things like LED notification, you will have to find a 3rd party app. However, there are other useful customization implemented like a fifth number row on AOSP keyboard (the 5th row of numbers can also be resized). Sometimes customization can be a bit of a hassle but once you finish it, you won't go to another ROM. Some features just grow on you :) I haven't switched ROMs in ages (or rather I went to try other ROMs but i went back after trying it for 5 minutes).

2. I believe Final Fantasy is just a layout issue and more of an app problem maybe? But at any rate, the Nexus 5 and its Snapdragon 800 has pretty much current generation hardware. It can run anything fine :) (so long as the app is coded properly and not poorly like Gameloft apps are).

[Zooper Widget General] Koadics:
Is there a way to calculate the total number of calendar events remaining for a given week? It would start the week on Sunday showing the total number of calendar events for that week and each time one has been completed the number would decrease by one until it reaches 0 and then reset the following Sunday.

For example: Today is Tuesday; There were calendar entries on Monday (yesterday), Wednesday, two on Thursday, and one on the following Monday. So the number of remaining calendar entries would show "3" (Wednesday + 2 for Thursday, not using either Monday because the first has already happened and the next one is the following week. Thursday morning it would show "2" (since the Wednesday event is in the past) and then Thursday night through Saturday it would be "0" because there are no more calendar events, but then on Sunday it would change back to "1" since it sees the Monday for that next week.

Edit: I believe I have a suitable solution. I'm still in the testing stage, but I'm attaching my code below. If anyone has any methods to simplify it, it would be appreciated.
