[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
I installed the my Verizon app from the play store and it randomly asked for root when I wasn't even using it. Obviously I denied it because there is no reason for them to need it. Just a heads up Verizon is looking for people who are rooted. Google doesn't turn up any results that say why they need it. Just a heads up for those who update it.

After speaking with a verizon rep, they stated:

"One of the things the new tools with tell us is if a device is rooted. When doing troubleshooting and in consideration of our warranty guides, it does help us to know if the phone has been rooted. We may ask a user to Factory Reset and go back to the normal software before we can assist them with more advance troubleshooting or be able to send them a warranty replacement."

So apparently they need it to check if you have an issue and if you do and are rooted they wont help you. I don't entirely believe what they are up to, but I would advise freezing the app if your not willing to take any risks and are indeed rooted, or simply do not allow it to update.
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
What about using the xposed app "root cloak"? Wouldn't it hide the root binary and su app?
[HTC Droid DNA] Drunkula:
I noticed that, too, but forgot to post about it. Thanks for bringing it up.
[HTC Droid DNA] mpappas87:
I saw that the other day too. I just told it to always deny.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
I'm not going to worry about it. If they decide to take action against root users who cares I'm leaving the network when my contract runs up anyways.
[HTC Droid DNA] Colomonster:
I noticed the same thing... Allowed it by habit, and quickly did a restore... I thought was fishy... Who knows I'm not under warranty anyways,I bought this device outright on eBay....But still didn't want then to know I'm rooted
[HTC Droid DNA] mr4r4n:
rootcloak would be the best option, it will keep the app from seeing the device as rooted as opposed to it getting the denied response and vzw still getting their snooping done.
[HTC Droid DNA] meskes:
Yeah, I got a root request from the update today. ****. That. I denied the permission and Uninstalled the app.
[HTC Droid DNA] rcicu:
That's what I did yesterday!
[HTC Droid DNA] meskes:
I'm of the similar mindset that Big Red is profiling every device on the network to see who's rooted for warranty issues, as well. Even if they do flag my device as such, I'm not really worried about it. I just don't like the idea of them being invasive like that. It's my device, I'm out of contract, and with how much I pay, you're damn right I'm going to do as I please. If they want to disallow me service, that's fine by me. They'd only be hurting themselves.
[HTC Droid DNA] rcicu:
Well after is seen that I activated my H2O SIM and have been running on that for 24hrs. When my wife's phone comes later today I will terminate my service with VZW... I pay too much money for there games... time to cut my bill in half!
[HTC Droid DNA] meskes:
The only reason I still have vzw is because I live in the country. Once Magenta rolls out the 700 MHZ band tho, I'm gone.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I'm curious, does denying root access send some info to the myverizon app that a su binary is present but permission was denied?
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Probably.

Please press the thanks button if I have helped you in anyway.
[HTC Droid DNA] meskes:
Yes. Yes it does. If you don't want them to know you have root, yet keep the app, use xposed+root cloak.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
You could extract them from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2695337

or use a launcher theme: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.badroboapps.s5

You might even be able to flash the first one since it is a vrtheme. Wouldn't recommend without a nandroid though, just in case. But vrthemes are built not to mess with anything important, just change icons.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] kazoum:
Before our phone was officially updated to Android 4.3, Samsung would usually release new 4.1.2 roms with an increasingly higher changelist...

But since our phone was updated to 4.3, Samsung keeps releasing new roms but only the ones from Hong Kong have a higher changelist

For example, the latest release was built in march and has the same changelist of the first 4.3 stock rom for our phone... And there have already been released 2 Hong Kong roms that have a higher changelist (these are the only 4.3 roms with a higher changelist than the first 4.3 rom).

You can check more at Samsung Updates.

Isn't this strange from Samsung? I mean, Hong Kong roms always had a higher changelist but there isn't a single non-HK stock 4.3 rom with a higher changelist than the first 4.3 stock rom ever. Does anyone know anything on this subject?

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] kazoum:
But 4.4 isn't officially confirmed for our phone... Although it would be stupid not to update it.

Besides, when 4.3 was due, the changelist would improve anyways. Samsung would first release a Hong Kong rom with a higher changelist, and a few days/weeks later a "normal" rom with that changelist would be released...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jalcon9:
[My new Galaxy S5 does not seem to be getting great signal reception. It's constantly around -100-106 dbm. I downloaded an app that checks it every 1 minute and then produces the results in excel forumat. Other devices in my office (also on verizon) are getting much better reception

I went to the mall, and the Galaxy S5 there was around -80, while mine was -97. Obviously both Verizon. How is this possible, other than a faulty radio in my device?

I remember back in the day you could dial #228, but obviously with 4G you can not do that.

Should I return/exchange my phone?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jalcon9:
I should add, if I power off the phone, take out the sim card, then reinsert it. The signal improves to like-84-88 dbm for awhile, then tapers off again to the -100s.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jalcon9:
Will SOMEONE chime in their thoughts?

You can see in the circled area, if I do a restart, the signal is better for like 5-10 mins, then drops off again. I even tried to do all of these things in safe mode, same results.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calinormy:
Maybe you should check the signal power when you actually use your phone ( in a call) maybe is a power saving feature. Try to compare with other s5 in the same room. Could be a bad driver for modem. From my experience with Samsung it takes 2 or 3 updates to get all well.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] RoniXt:
I just got the HTC Wizard (Qtek 9100), and finally fixed the backlight bug.

This is the bug that turns off your backlight every time you go into Standby Mode. Here is the fix.

Use a Registry Editor and go to...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight

You should see a bunch of DWORD values. Look for the following:

ExtOnOff

OnOff

If you have this bug, they will both be set to 0 by default. Change these values to the preferred backlight setting of your choice, 0-4, 0 being off and 4 being brightest.

Now soft-reset your device.

If you've done this correctly, the bug should be SQUASHED and you should no longer have any backlight problems after standby.

If you recently hard-reset your device, you might not see those DWORD values and might have to create them on your own. I haven't studied it much, but it looks like those values are created on the first time you change your backlight settings.

You might also have to change these values the next time you feel like changing your brightness settings.

For Registry Editors, I prefer Mobile Registry Editor from...

http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx

Now enjoy your HTC Wizard as you were meant to. I know I will.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougunder:
I've got an Ouya running CM11.

For input I'm using both a lenova n5901 and a Logitec K700.

I've given then both device specific .kl's for the lenova turning the orange key to menu and home to home, on both turning win key to search.

My question would be utilizing all the extra keys on the k700. I'd like to use em to control other devices over irda.

There are apps like irdroid and External Keyboard Helper Pro that would seem to able to handle it. Problem being that the Ir blasters for android use a stereo jack, which the ouya lacks.

So, would it work with a usb sound card, or will it work with a usb/usb-serial-irda adapter?

I can recompile the kernel if additional drivers are needed.

Alternately is there any useful droid keys beyond home, menu and search in kitkat?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kakaroto777:
Hi all.

I just got a Skyrocket mostly since I am not interested in the newer models. I was wondering, I really like the stock browser. I don't feel the need of getting for example Chrome or Firefox, and I read that the stock browser is sometimes even faster than the other browsers. But the latest supported official rom for this phone is the 4.1.2. I verified and this is the version of the stock browser, and is my understanding that the stock browser is not automatically updated on this phone (or in Android in general?). On the desktop if you have an outdated browser is a potential security risk. Is this the same in Android? Even though I like the stock one, should I use another since there doesn't seem to be any updates for this? This is based on the fact that I would not like to install a custom rom and stay with the 4.1.2. Thanks!

2 copy rom in to ext-sd and flash it with choose zip file

but i feel this is wrong

my work is wrong?

plz help me

if i install carbon with impulse r6 kernel ; Is this a good result ? and what is changed ?

tnx for your helps
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
The way of installing Carbon is exactly the same as flashing CM if you have already done so. In the case you haven't, it is basically what you've said. Only thing that you would need to check is to backup your efs (even though the installation zip should backup it). In that case you won't have further problems later. ;)

For impulse, after you've set-up your Carbon ROM, you can take the zip containing impulse and flash it using the same way.

I have a strange problem with prox sensor during calls. The actual sensor works fine, it shuts down the display but still registers touches from the keypad. I've had numerous times when the person complains that I'm pressing dial tones and when I take my phone of my ear, the display wakes up and there's all kinds of numbers and symbols on the dialing screen. If I hold my phone on an angle off my cheek, the problem doesn't occur. Anyone else?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cphenrik:
You're holding it wrong... :p

Joke aside. I have the same issue when holding the phone to my left ear. I suppose i has to do with proximity sensor being on the left side, and not getting close enough to (getting covered by) my ear. In that case: Use right ear, or press the phone closer to the left side of your head (head tumor not guaranteed)

Could this be the issue?
