[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vvveith:
In other Android forums that has been tried. No avail.

A TMO rep said to try that and the change at first does indeed seem to work, but after a little time with no SD in phone the problem resurfaces. Sorry I have to be the barer of bad news. :( Like I stated earlier, I think it's a proximity sensor defect, either firmware, hardware or software, but it seems to have worked for me so far. I will report back after some time if it is indeed the root. Or if anyone else tries and fails with auto brightness off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] livito:
Strange, I removed the SD card the the problem was gone. There must be something related to the firmware thou.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Not again... This happened with the Note 3 as well and only got worse with time. I really want this phone, but I think I'm going to hold off at this rate. :(

Come on samsung...pull it together.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] livito:
Just updating on this, I bought a Samsung SD card, I have notice not lag at all, I still believe that the problem was the SD card, maybe the read speed was a little slow and that was causing the lag?

I strongly suggest checking on the SD card, also after the new update I notice the phone more responsive and a little bit more battery friendly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] luigi311:
Flash a bright light into the light sensor of the phone and see if it turns on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vvveith:
Nice idea, worth a try!

That's an idea but I don't think it will work, been outside in the sunlight when this issue has presented itself a number of times, took it out of the car mount and into my lap in the sun with out any difference. Will check.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] luigi311:
This used to be a problem with some HTC devices where the display wouldn't turn on unless we flashed a bright light on it which was weird lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] scorchedsky:
I've had "sleeps of death" where the screen won't turn on, no haptic feedback, calls go straight to voicemail, etc. This has happened once on the TMobile AllianceROM, and twice on stock 4.4.2 (NCH). They've been fixable by holding vol up+power+home for like 10 seconds or so...pretty frustrating, as I haven't been able to consistently reproduce it. I do have a microSD card in the phone, so I might try taking that out...but it has definitely been fine for 5+ days at a time, so this is a very weird bug. Maybe the new update will help...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vvveith:
On mine calls come through with no way to answer!

On mine, when the screen is black every thing continues to function as normal, with the caveat being your unable to do anything about it! No screen, No control! I'm going to try the SD card and see if that may indeed be the culprit but I don't have much hope and hate to waste money on a samsung card that does not alleviate the problem.....Here's hoping......:fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] iwillkillyou:
I find a lag while opening the gallery. Choosing the first picture taken a while. Maybe 10 seconds, more or less.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Billt4spd:
I posted a question with the same issue a few days ago..

This sleep problem really sucks! I tried everything. I rooted my phone, flashed the AllianceRom and Blaze Kern on it right out of box, so I have no idea if it was there without root. The brightness thing sounds promising fella's...... Good God am I happy to have anything new to try. I will tell you guys one thing that helped a whole lot though. I checked..... Turn screen on after usb is unplugged.... and also... Set Cpu.. Profile 1... Screen Off... 422 min - 833 max...Powersave.... Profile 2....422 min - 2457 max... On Demand. It barely happens anymore, but still does. The lag is completely gone on screen wake with the higher minimum. I hope some of what I tried in combination helps us all..... goodness this sucks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] em0ney14:
I just found out today by messing with my s5 that having power save mode enabled will decrease the kernel clock speeds, thus bringing intensive lag.

After disabling the standard power save mode, everything seems fine and the lag is not noticeable.

Hope that helps.

;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vvveith:
Try this.

I turned off the microsoft exchange server by setting it to manual, so far I have not had the problem, I will repost or edit if I do. Then the only thing left is to replace SD card with Samsung one and see if that does the trick. But right now, turning off Microsoft Exchange server seems to have done the trick. :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Billt4spd:
Cool

I don't have an exchange account..... but the new Blaze v9 kern seems to of helped a whole lot. On a side note.... really liking this Qi charging.... Sweet! Just got my stuff from UPS today.... hellz yeah!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vvveith:
Still good~

The microsoft exchange server, used for programs like hotmail's push among other things, seems to have really made a difference, have not had the black screen issue in days since disabling it by setting my hotmail account to manual. I will report back though if it does start acting up again but so far so good, the longest it's lasted without the issue yet!

I love by Qi, but cannot use it with my extended battery. No place not to mount the card, the battery covers the contacts you need to use. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] scorchedsky:
I have had exchange disabled with titanium backup since the first day I got the phone, and this issue has still happened to me :( it's been a few days now and I just wiped my SD card, so we'll see how it goes... Once Alliance updates to the new base I'll try that too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Billt4spd:
Huh?

What auto protect? Where is it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vvveith:
It came back.

After many days of great performance, the black screen of death came back. The situation happens frequently when having long sessions of Pandora streaming through the Bluetooth sound system in my car. After a long drive and walk in the park with my dog, when I arrived home and turned off the car, I went to disable Bluetooth on the phone, Blackscreen. However, I was able to get it back this time without having to pull my battery by holding down both volume buttons with the home key and power button for about ten seconds, the phone rebooted and ran normally!

I called T Mobile today and discussed the issue with them, I was told they are aware of the reported problem but there is really no fix as of this time, and are unsure when they will even push any kind of OTA for patching anything, let alone this issue. They said my best option at this point is to exchange the phone for something else. So I'll wait until the LG comes out and see how people feel about it, and if things look good, I will dump Samsung and not look back.

However, Upon further research, this problem does not seem limited to the S5, I see other phones as well running Kit Kat that report that some users are having this same problem. My hunch now is it is some sort of memory error generated in the memory of the phone. Probably some bad firmware, I don't know though, and it should not be my job to solve Samsung/T Mobile's problem. Rep told me to have others keep calling and reporting the issue so that if there ever will be a update, maybe this issue will be addressed. Squeeky gear thing I guess. I will report back if I find out anything else in the meantime. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Billt4spd:
Black Screen of death FIX! FIX! FIX! FIX!

I have a FIX FELLAS! After 5 re-flashes..... going to stock.... re-loading all my apps (A Whole lot), flashing different versions of the blaze kernel, and going insane. Raw2000j suggested a fix I really thought was another goose chase. Here is the fix....... Flash the Faux 003 Kernel for S5 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2737704 . Uninstall all kernel apps.... setcpu, faux, trickster mod..... all that crap. Reboot the darn phone......... FIIIIIIIIIIIIXXXXXXXXXEEEEEDDDD! FIXED! Hellz yeah........ I will take my thanks by you pressing the thank you button at the bottom left of the screen. Guys...... spread the work..... They cannot keep us down when we stick together and help our fellow modder's. Raw helped me...... I spent hr's pist over this and begging people to help me...... so please help someone else guys! Make sure you help at least one person..... Or it just isn't right, and you are a greedy, horrible person..... Thanks..... Billt4spd ;) :p ;) :o :D :) :silly: :victory: :cool::cool::cool:

Read my new post fella!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vvveith:
I run stock and unrooted, on jump program cannot trip Knox. So this is no solution for people like me. On another note, I can reproduce problem after streaming music via bluetooth for forty minutes, so…
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Billt4spd:
Fix

Search the forum for the thread that would allow root without a KNOX trip...... yes.... there is one now. By the way..... screw it...... who gives 2 craps anyway..... just get it over with. Oh! Hey, T-mobile has not released the new firmware, buy you can odin it and not trip KNOX becaus it is a factory update...... good hook-up for ya bro..... and flash the old nch modem when you are done because it is twice as fast. That is why they will not release it.... because the modem in the new one is slower...... but you will not trip COCX.... I mean knox (Sorry...lol!) by only Odining factory firmware fella. Turn off.... Geo News and S Health..... also, turn off battery saver. That is all you can do bro..... My issue is gone...... thank you GOD!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vvveith:
I don't know of a non trip Knox root method.

It is my understanding that the new s5's are hardwired with the Knox in a chip, maybe I was misinformed? As far as I know right now, any root method will trip Knox. As far as the factory update goes, reading the small list of problems it addresses, this one (black screen), is not addressed. Furthermore, the problem does not seem to affect everybody who is using this phone. So, what is needed is some sort of identifying number to determine if it's one certain production version, to narrow down exactly what is wrong. At this point I can reproduce the problem without fail when streaming music via bluetooth (pandora), for an extended period of time then trying to access the screen. Another issue with the streaming via bluetooth to a car radio is if the screen is off for an extended period, the music stream will occasionally start to hiccup or stutter. The problem goes away after about fifteen seconds but still, could it also be related to the problem? Who knows? I'm sure some even more geeky and learned than myself will probably get to the root of the issue if they also experience this specific problem. Until then, I will wait and see if Samsung or T Mobile address it. If not.....Jump! After all I did not buy a phone to constantly be diagnosing it, fixing it, trying this and that, paying hundreds of dollars for on top of monthly fees to use it, I bought it to use and get on with my duty's in life. :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
They don't check.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] em0ney14:
New firmware available. Ane6
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
NE5 fixed it. NE6 is just the proper modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vvveith:
They have been checking.

You may not be aware of several people including myself where they do check, and were denied without additional fees. The more you know. :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
This is probably against xda rules, but couldn't you just do a warranty exchange to get one that hasn't been tripped then jump?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] scorchedsky:
I'm hoping the fact this thread hasn't been bumped in a while means fewer people are experiencing this bug...

Personally, I haven't seen it since updating to NE5 firmware with the Alliance B2 ROM (I'm guessing NE5 fixes the problem)...just a word of advice to anyone that hasn't updated and is still experiencing this intermittently...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vvveith:
Did the trick for me!

Everything is cool now, except the ****ty LTE speed near my house, best I can get is 4M up and down. Cleveland west side sucks, but I know it is location now because I can get slamming speeds 37 or better just three miles away! :cool:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gerciolisz:
Thanks awesome work :) it will be helpfull:) i was looking for such thing yesterday XD you're best [MENTION=4716493]laufersteppenwolf[/MENTION]
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xboxfanj:
The anykernel script doesn't work on newer devices with zImage-dtb right?

Doesn't look like it based on the script, but I've had trouble with the M8 DTB so figured I'd ask.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] manojkumar8552:
u saved my life thanks buddy i will try it !!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Marília de Oliveira:
Hi

Fits ics?:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] laufersteppenwolf:
To be honest, I have no idea :D

I have only tested it on the 4x HD myself, but if you use all the same commands as the the ROM build process does (maybe also grab the needed files) it should work. I mean, it does exactly the same thing as when the ROM build packs the boot image, it puts the zImage and ramdisk into one file. Only anykernel does this on the device itself, rather than on your PC.

If you want, we can take a look into it together ;)

Sure, should work with all ROMs, just edit some stuff (like rom_version=11 to rom_version=9 when compiling CM) and it should work just fine
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Marília de Oliveira:
How do I edit? Can you explain me better .. Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sgt. meow:
Thanks a lot [MENTION=797307]laufer[/MENTION]stppenwolf

Really takes the stress out of executing commands during my kernel compiles.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gerciolisz:
open in notepad or gedit or whatever and edit what u want:p :)

BTW does -j number of jobs should be for example "-j6" or "-j 6"?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] laufersteppenwolf:
It's quite simple, open the script with an editor (I personally like Geany) and edit the following lines:

ccache_dir=/home/laufersteppenwolf/ccache/CM11
ccache_log=/home/laufersteppenwolf/ccache/CM11/ccache.log
jobs_sync=30
jobs_build=20
rom=cm
rom_version=11
device_codename=p880

example:

You want to compile CM9 for the Nexus 5 (codename hammerhead) on a dual core CPU and your username (on your PC) is username:

ccache_dir=/home/[COLOR="Red"]username[/COLOR]/ccache/CM11
ccache_log=/home/[COLOR="red"]username[/COLOR]/ccache/CM11/ccache.log
jobs_sync=[COLOR="red"]5[/COLOR]
jobs_build=[COLOR="red"]3[/COLOR]
rom=cm
rom_version=[COLOR="red"]9[/COLOR]
device_codename=[COLOR="red"]hammerhead[/COLOR]

and you're already done ;) Your script can now compile CM9 for the Nexus 5 ;) :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Marília de Oliveira:
I have done everything ... where else do I put the script?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] laufersteppenwolf:
just put it inside the root of your sources (the place where you have initiated the repo) and then run it using ". build.sh [flags]" ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Marília de Oliveira:
Thanks ... Worked in xperia mini pro with ics :good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] laufersteppenwolf:
Sry for the late reply, haven't seen it at all :o

it's "-j x", as it only listens to the things behind the actual flag ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gerciolisz:
thx after reading that script i know now :) i thought it is same like brunch/lunch -jx :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] laufersteppenwolf:
Alright guys, a big update just found its way to github: a script to set up a complete build environment on Ubuntu and Arch-based distros.

If you want me to add support for another distro, please contact me either via PM or via IRC (#TeamFun or #p880-dev) and give me details on what must be changed (install command, packages, ...)

Also the kernel script got some updates, to abort the script if the kernel didn't compile and to copy the anykernel zip directly to dropbox to share it with your testers ;)

Cheers :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iurnait:
couldnt you make the script universal by using $HOME?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] workdowg:
Wow! Great job and well written... I'll be trying this on my old archserver box that I thought I would have to convert to Ubuntu because I couldn't get all the required packages configured correctly. Looking over your scripts you've touched it all!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chasmodo:
Thanks a bunch for the scripts, especially the env-setup one. I'll test it one of these days in Manjaro.

However, env-setup/setup.sh has a small bug: after running the script in LM16 (build environment already set up) it wants to reinstall Java no matter which flag is given.

Also, it doesn't detect installed SDK for some reason.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] laufersteppenwolf:
hmm, good idea :D never thought of that one TBH :o :D

Will add it when I'm back home in the evening ;)

About java, you mean because the script asks you which java version you want to have installed? I forgot to disable it when --no-java is given, will add it as well later.

But it is intented that the script asks you about your desired java version when you choose --needed/-n, as it might be you have openJDK installed, but want oracle's java installed. So if the desired java doesn't match the installed one, the desired one will get installed ;)

And about the SDK, right now the script only looks for the SDK in its own installation dir, which means if you haven't got your SDK installed in ~/adt-bundle/..., the script will not detect your SDK. I am still thinking of a way to detect the SDK no matter where it got installed, but until now, I didn't come up with a proper solution... ;)

But thanks for the feedback :) Much appreciated

But also a big thanks to [MENTION=3544509]eagleeyetom[/MENTION] for the portal article :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chasmodo:
Good point, this.

However, what happens when I have say Oracle Java 6 installed, and choose the same version from the Java script menu? Will the script reinstall it? If yes, a 4th menu option would be nice, something along the lines of 'skip' or similar.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] laufersteppenwolf:
If the same java is installed as the one that's requested to be installed, it will be skipped ;)

However, you can force the re-install of the packages by using "--forced" (--no-java and --no-sdk will still work if desired)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thomtlhom:
build.sh

:~/Desktop$ ./build.sh -n -c
./build.sh: 84: ./build.sh: [[: not found

I get the above error, any suggestions?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] laufersteppenwolf:
you need to run

. build.sh -n -c

or you can also change the first line of the script to #!/bin/bash ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] workdowg:
Is that a new bash command: "#! /bin/bash ;)"... lol

From my Debloated Stock Kitkat VS980 4G VZN
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SMillerNL:
Actually it wont for Arch, it now ran the java install for the 2nd time.

This might help sort that out.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=66652
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] laufersteppenwolf:
This might work for openJDK, but I don't think that this will work for oracle's java.

What's your java version?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SMillerNL:
Oracle jdk but it should work independent of the installation source.

Sent from my Nexus 4, want to know my current project? Check http://team-fun.eu
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] laufersteppenwolf:
I just re-checked the java detection, and realized it needs a big makeover... I'm pretty sure I know what's causing the issues, but I need some time to figure out a way to fix it...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ShinySide:
I swiped your kernel script and used it as a base, for my own touchwiz projects, just wanted to say thanks for posting these. Much appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] _RaZziel_:
Hi, I just wanted to thank you for the setup-script. It really takes the hassle out of setting up the build-environment.

I just wanted to add something: I am using Linux Mint which, since it's based on Ubuntu, accepts the exact same commands. However, your script detects the commands to be used based on /etc/issue and cannot detect Linux Mint properly. I changed the script slightly, so if you're interested, I can send it to you. (I basically checked for Linux Mint and set distro to Ubuntu)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] laufersteppenwolf:
Could you please give me the exact output of the following two commands?

cat /etc/issue | cut -d " " -f1

and

cat /etc/issue

And thanks a lot for the feedback :) Always looking forward to add more features/distros and debugging ;)
[G2 General] NuclearEMP:
I'd like some input if it is worth the switch to the GS5 at this point.

Is it enough of a change to switch now or wait for bigger changes?
[G2 General] HeXaLox:
Wait till the G3 my friend :) it will blow the competition away (:
[G2 General] PloniAlmoni:
The difference between a phone with a Snapdragon 801 and a Snapdragon 800 is as small as that suggests.
[G2 General] Azurael:
And the camera and battery life are worse on the S5 then the G2. You'd have to be seriously committed to wanting a MicroSD slot, waterproofing and a few extra MHz to switch...

Still, I suppose screens have reached such ridiculous DPI levels that the PenTile AMOLEDs no longer look like a sack of s**t. Unless you prefer natural colours, that is. Plus, I'd wait 6 months after any new Samsung device has been released before buying one in case they've forgotten how to make eMMC controllers again :p
[G2 General] savo55:
wait for bigger changes dude. i would wait for lg g3 or nexus 6.
[G2 General] votinh:
Anything that the S5 offered that the G2 lack? And off those features, do you really need them?
[G2 General] crzykiller:
Actually the battery life has been proven to be better and the Screen is also the best screen out on the market right now accuracy wise, yes the screen is almost perfectly calibrated and the colors are very good. The GPU is also more potent (578mhz over 450mhz). BUT its made by Samsung so it still a piece of s***
[G2 General] Idan73:
You do know that your posts is full of innacuracies and regurgitated fan ? crap? You're wrong pretty much on all points.

I for one am sticking to g2 for a time being and cost versus benefits ratio is definitely in g2 favor.

On grey market in Canada for brand new in the box, it is $400 cash for g2 vs $800 with taxes from provider for sgs5.

Sent from my LG-D803
[G2 General] joeynox:
the camera on the g2 is a hit and miss piece of dung. It is by far the most inconsistent camera ive ever used on a smart phone. In a low light shoot out my lumia 920/iphone5s/then g2. and in decent light it is still a fuzzy grainy noisy phone but when the light is optimal its wonderful. the gs5 is similar in terms of camera performence except the shutter is almost instant like on the iphone 5s. the g2 takes way too long to focus and shoot.plus the s5 is water resistant . personally id wait another month and see what the G3 is all about. thats what im doing.
[G2 General] liteon163:
Wait and see. I'd call the S5 and the G2 too close to call, as they each have their own strengths.

The G3 sounds like it'll be better than the S5, thus the wait and see approach...
[G2 General] jomansch:
i'd wait AT LEAST till they drop this Knox"feature", was one reason for me to leave Samsung's behind...
