[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Cavey.co.uk:
I can rename a file, that's easy, but when downloading cab's (or doc's) from this site (by Opera) it tries to rename them to download with an extension of .php which is not much use. Even if I rename it to (example) "Registry Wizard.cab" it still maintains the php ending making it not much use.

As-is I cant seem to find the button to disable the "Hide file extensions for known file types" which is pretty much the first thing I go after when I reinstall my desktop pc. Any idea how to fix that?

Also, is there any way to add extra file extensions? For example, is there any way for it to recognise .php as a .txt file without having to do the activesync check-in/check-out malarky?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THFourteen:
Hiya, I would appreciate it if some users could post some feedback on the responsiveness of stock apps on their shiny new S5s

In particular the camera, gallery, contacts and phone apps.

I have an S3 and am thinking about upgrading, however I’ve been on an AOSP ROM for the last few months because the lag in opening simple stuff like contacts was just unbearable on any Samsung ROM/kernel combo. It was embarrassing trying to show someone a picture on my phone only to have them wait 5-10 seconds for the app to decide to open.

I’d like to upgrade to an S5, but not expecting there to be any decent ROMs for a few months, so just want to make sure I won’t be regretting it
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natefish:
Everything overall is faster and smoother. I came from am S3 as well. The camera loads fast, but I would say the time from waking the device to taking a pic is still not quite as fast as iPhones. It takes amazing pics, so that helps. I haven't tried to see if lowering the resolution will speed up the process. The gallery still lags a second or two when I go to it from the camera. I wish Samsung would have made the gallery fast3 instead of clunkier. Overall, though, I truly enjoy using the camera and gallery, so what I've mentioned are just minor complaints.

On the phone, I thought I would miss the swipe motion to call or text, but I like the grid better.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiidesire:
The swipe motion to call and text still exists on the S5. Or what are you talking about?

I'm experiencing bad battery times when connected through wifi on networks such as at my university, using network logger I found that this is due to multicast traffic which is waking up the device. I've read that the N4 also has had this issue but they can filter multicast from waking up the device when screen is off through the file:

`/system/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini`

Does anyone know of anything comparable on the M7?

try going to system/apps/google services framework and untick "show notifications"

download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun

select advanced mode, then in settings check 'show system entries' and then find Google services framework, and disable the one with 'system update receiver' in the name

Um, from the link I posted? Here's another, mentioned from the previous link.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Huachipato:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rushless:
It has apparently been hacked, so perhaps for the better.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Guadalupeohara:
Yes. you are right.

From 3 days ago..

PayPal announced that its fingerprint-based authentication system was live in 25 countries. Users will be able to authenticate their digital purchases on PayPal by swiping down on the home button. The idea is a novel way of extending the functionality offered by the fingerprint sensor. However, it looks like all carriers are not going to have this feature enabled. Droid-Life discovered that the PayPal authentication feature was disabled in Verizon’s version of the Galaxy S5. It is unclear as to why Verizon would disable this functionality, given that it is the only carrier who seems to have removed this feature. users trying to install a fingerrint-based authentication client on Verizon’s Galaxy S5 are being shown a message that says “this application will not work on your device.”"
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jpmcnown:
Accessing the stock "Samsung Apps" through the "Galaxy App" widget directs to a completely different, unsearchable store. Why why why Samsung? See Attached screenshots (one searchable, one not)

To clarify the steps that I used to install Paypal, and link fingerprinter verification to it,

1> To get an actual searchable Samsung App Store, download the "Samsung Apps Mobile" from the phone via www.samsungapps.com or HERE (This BS is what was holding me up)

2> Install the PayPal app via the Samsung App Store (first uninstall the Paypal app if previously installed via Google Play Store)

3> Search and install NNL from the Samsung App Store

4> Open Paypal>Settings>Login Options>Register Fingerprint.

Not sure if this is going to work, but here are some backup .apk's I just made from my phone, and put em on Google Drive.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] briantacker:
Did NNL find a way around it not working or did Verizon change their minds?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jpmcnown:
I wouldn't hold your breath on getting an explanation as to why it seemed clearly being blocked before, but a work around is now available. I never personally observed an active blocking to install the NNL app as documented on several sites, I simply wasn't able to search for the app that ties the fingerprint function to Paypal, and by the time I found the NNL app in the Samsung App store(not found in Google Play Store), I ran into no problems installing it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 1967ls2:
Yes it works perfectly.

Open either of the links

FROM YOUR PHONE, and you'll be directed to where you can install the Samsung Apps store. Then from that installed Samsung App Store, you'll be able to search for both Paypal and NNL, and install the apps. Both apps need to be installed from the Samsung store, NOT Google Play.

Or if you prefer, HERE is a link to the Samsung App Store apk on my Google Drive. You may need to enable "unknown sources" in Settings>Security first.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] telis12:

So register on the site yourself & use one of the many translation tools that are readily available for everyone to use these days. A native Chinese speaker reading your thread & doing what you're asking (which you're easily able to do yourself with a bit of initiative/work) may never happen. It hasn't happened in 3 days, I'll lay London to a brick it won't happen if you're still here bumping this thread in a month.

if i'm asking for help it means that i need it. i used the translation tool in the site but the translated text is a bit confusing. i would write directly to the post i saw the ROM in xda but i don't have enough credits to write there so that's why i'm asking here and your irony wasn't so helpful.

anyhow thanks for spending your time answering me.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Siema89:
Since large part of us might get their Z2s this week (hopefully including me :silly:), I'd like to know what options we have to make our Xperias secure with soon-to-arrive custom ROMs.

From what I managed to find, the most convenient option (at least theoretically) would be to:

- unlock bootloader

- flash custom recovery

- flash custom ROM

- reflash stock recovery to prevent lockscreen bypass and adb access in general

- relock bootloader to prevent flashing custom recovery and regaining adb by potential attacker.

- then if needed, reflash recovery online if rooted, reflash new/updated ROM, reflash stock recovery back

Now, I've read that Xperia Z2 (other Zs probably as well) will softbrick with locked botloader and custom ROM/kernel, rendering this method useless. Am I right?

If yes, what other options do we have?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numskull:
all i know for sure is its more complicated than samsung models n im gonna wait till there a way to root it without messing with the bootloader
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waynekirby:
-Unlock bootloader

-Flash kernel of the ROM you want (DooMKernel for stock based)

-Boot into the recovery that's baked into the kernel

-Flash the ROM you want

All AOSP ROM's require fastbooting the kernel from the zip (unless stated).
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shollywood:
I cam from Samsung also, but really not difficult to unlock Bootloader at all actually.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Siema89:
So there is no way to block access to recovery after flashing custom ROM?

Also sorry for probably dumb question (I'm new to Xperias): do you maybe know if current recoveries baked into CM support encryption? I know there is no CM for Z2 yet, I'm asking about current Z series phones.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waynekirby:
Well... On newer Xperia's (2012+) you can flash a recovery to the TArecovery partition, so you could remove it I suppose... But if the kernel you are using has a custom recovery baked in (they usually do on Xperia) then you could flash back the stock kernel, if you don't want recovery on stock based ROM. but as far as CM is concerned, you cannot remove recovery.

And yes all CM has recovery baked into Xperia kernels. We'll have official CM support from FXP team as soon as they receive their device too. Good times ahead :D

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shollywood:

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numskull:
Not sure, thats why i aint doing nothing to it, apparently theres a folder that contains licence keys, which you will lose when you unlock bootloader. until i know a bit more about it, i aint messing with it
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xernoxis:
You lose the DRM keys. You can't keep the DRM keys if you root as of yet, because you have to unlock bootloader to root, and you can't do TA backup without root. Vicious circle.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shollywood:
What would I need the keys for? Sony sends the code to unlock the bootloader.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waynekirby:

That was the one, i knew it was something important. thats why im waiting till there a root without unlocking, i could probably manage without most of it, but i want the bravia engine working and any other screen or audio stuff it affects, altho i was wondering, could you not just redownload the stuff you want and in doing so aquire new keys?? or is it not that simple?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corfunewlife:
Hi Guys :)

I recently got myself a NOTE 3 (Clone) from DHgate which was nice and cheap and arrived in decent time frame.

The listing said 1GB RAM

But when ever I do a test (Antutu/CPU-Z or anything else) it shows RAM at 461 - the seller is still claiming it is a 1GB RAM even after I sent him several screen shots?

I really need to know as I will claim back the difference in price if he (as I suspect) sent me a 512mb or less RAM ;)

I do understand the ROM and a few APPS will take up some of the RAM but not like 400mb+ surely???

Thanks in advance guys:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BunnyPig:
My device take about 500-600 MB on RAM by just using the OS. With all my apps it about about 700 MB, so I do think that it might be 1GB memory on your device.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corfunewlife:
I would have thought that at least One of these tests would have shown how RAM has been used and therefore how much was left though?

All I can see is 461mb RAM with around 71mb used?

I have just tested again using "Android Assistant" app, and same results showing 461 system RAM?

In other words the tests are showing that the "System" RAM is 461mb Hence my utter confusion?

Tbh that's what you get for buying clones... you can never trust the specs they give you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddogishere:
You best bet to verify it is totry uninstalling or freezing some system apps to see if the overall RAM increases.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corfunewlife:
I actually used "Titanuim" to Freeze a sxxt load of apps, but the Ram didn't seem to get any higher after another Antutu check, or CPU-Z test?

It still says 461 free Ram and around 70 used?

Yet the seller is shouting about it being a 1GB Ram version :(

Its actually quick enough, but I want to be sure its a 1GB version?

And yeah I know I should have got a "real" NOTE3 but I dont have the cash hence the clone option :p

Essentially what I want is ANYTHING that can prove either way what Ram this device has as factory? as I said Antutu and other testers show 461 as I showed here on screen shots?

Dear XDA

I have been an android user for many years and rooting has been one of the things I always did to my devices. I am an owner of a Note 3, which I have rooted succesfully and used X-NOTE 13 rom for long time. Last week I wanted to try something new and after that everything seems to be impossible. Before I install any roms I always perfom full wipe of, system, data, cache, dalvik cache etc. (I do it inside the recovery). Afterwards I tried to install CRASH ROM V9 and the progress went fine. When the phone rebooted the strange things started to happened I couldn't find the rom's extra menu and couldnt find any of the functions that the rom contained. I just thought that it was problem with the rom itself therefore I tried to went back to X-NOTE, but without any luck. The X-NOTE installed probably but I couldnt boot into it, it was stucked at the "Samsung Note 3" logo. I tried to wipe cache and dalvik but without any luck and every time I rebooted from the recovery the recovery says "it seems your device doesnt have root access" and the recovery tries to gain root access.

Then I couldnt understand anything of what was happening so I went to stock using ODIN. After installing stock rom I used CF-ROOT and everythings went smooth and I could use SuperSU inside the stock rom. Then I installed a recovery and it didn't mentioned anything about root access, so I was ready to install my custom rom...at least I thought so....I installed X-NOTE again (because I knew that this rom worked before without any problems) and after the progress was done I couldnt boot into the rom again, it was stucked. I wiped the cache and dalvik and as soon I clicked reboot in recovery it tells me that I am not rooted.

Then I did the same thing again, went back to stock, installed CF-ROOT and recovery. This time I installed CRASH ROM instead and I could boot into the system, but the rom still misses the "rooted features" etc.

In other words, what have I done wrong? I cant seem to find the problem and I think that I have tried every possible solution?

Informations:

Model:

​

SM-N9005

STOCK ROM: Tried both N9005XXUENB4 (German) and N9005XXUENC2 (Nordic firmware)

Custom Rom: Tried both X-NOTE and CRASH ROM

Recoveries used: TWRP, CWM and Philz CWM

Kernels: Tried with stock one and X-NOTE kernel 1.5

I hope you can help me I cant live with stock roms :)

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
weird.

all the rom you mentioned xnote & crash come with root access inside.

When you said you used all those 3 recoveries, did you try each rom with each recovery ?

and when you flash those rom, did you follow to do a clean full wipe as mentioned on each OP thread ?

clean full wipe is not only wipe cache and dalvik, but also the data (factory reset).
