[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
Well as far has I understand it. On a unrooted phone; you can write to the virtual SD card only. On a rooted phone you can still only write to the virtual SD card but you get root privileges to run apps that non rooted phones can't. . With S-Off you can write, delete from the phones system as well has the virtual SD card, hence the increased danger of permanently hard bricking your phone. Personally I think S-Off is worth the risk providing you THINK BEFORE YOU DO.... S-Off can save many a soft brick and a few almost hard bricks too; but more importantly, if you want to return to a factory shipped phone after rooting and installing a custom recovery/rom. You have to be S-Off.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muhammad.uzi1994:
I have s off but as far as I know, writing to /system requires root privileges AND a custom non protected kernel , I'm sure about the write protection status of /system , /data and /firmware on an unrooted phone but I'm not sure about the rest.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
Sorry should have written; " with S-Off and root you can write or delete from phone system ". That includes the entire system as far has I know. To be honest, I've never tried altering any of the phones system apart from deleting some system apps and altering CID to super CID.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muhammad.uzi1994:
I'm s off and unrooted so basically it means I can write to virtual sd card ONLY, I can't modify any of the partitions mentioned in the OP?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
If your S-Off and rooted; you can write to all your partitions, So be careful.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antagonist42:
Those you have named [/acct /system etc] are Directories/Folders and only a couple of Partitions [SDCard/User Data] which are part of your Android system.

The base as you said is actually /root directory of the system.

Just to make it a little clearer, S-OFF isn't required to be able to write to the /system directories if you are rooted.

S-OFF does however give you the capability to write to

ANY

and all Partitions on your phone, making it useful but highly dangerous if used incorrectly.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cschmitt:
There are a number of factors that control read and write access to the file system.

/data, /system, /cache are mount points, where partitions are attached to the root file system by the OS.

By default, /system is mounted as read only, but can be remounted as read write if you have root access. /data and /cache are mounted as read write.

Then there's the question of user permissions within the operating system. System processes can write to /data, but root access is needed for users to write to it in a file explorer, etc.

That's where su comes in. It's called 'root' because when you su you are switching roles from the restricted Android standard user to the more privileged root user, allowing you to execute commands like remounting file systems, copying partitions with dd, etc.

S-on and s-off have to do with performing block operations on partitions, such as in recovery.

With s-on you can read all partitions (assuming you have root access) and write to system, data, boot, cache, radio, and recovery partitions only.

With s-off you can write to every partition in recovery.

Hope that helps.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xeon_IV:
I am currently running PA 3.99 on my HTC One and when I asked in the PA google hangouts I get lol's really. If you have a rom on your device and it works good and all the features you want why change. I since bricked my HTC One and bought a nexus 5 and love it. My question is was there a Paranoid Android 3.99 or the latest that still had the hybrid and pie mode? Any help would be great I have been looking till my eyes bleed so I had searched.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
Dude, pie is already included.

Hybrid is still a work in progress to get the new version done. The only other thing missing from the current version is halo which is being reborn as something else.

You will not find a 3.99 for the n5 because 3.99 was android 4.3. This phone never had 4.3.

You say you searched but the change log thread literally covers every feature available in the current version. The change log thread link is the first thing on the ROM thread.

Anybody else having this issue? LTE works fine until..it doesn't, and then even if I was getting LTE in the exact same spot, it never jumps back on it. Once it's in 3G, it stays 3G until I restart. Any way to fix this?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epix4G:
You are in a area where they have not fixed circuit fallback. ... they made the phone do this so you would get calls and text ... triband phones use cfbs to push through calls so if your connected to lte you will not get calls and text.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drbadass:
I get what you're saying, but I don't believe that's it-- I stay on 4G most of the time, but once I get a call and it shifts me back to 3G, it never moves me back to 4G after the call. It just sits on 3G until I cycle airplane mode or restart the phone.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pastert33:
The article listed is the problem your having. You are not the only one and calling Sprint is a waste of time as most dont know what your talking about.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drbadass:
Actually, if you read, it's not. If I wasn't in a CSFB market, then I wouldn't connect to LTE at all except for a moment, and then drop off. I do connect to LTE, and receive calls without a problem. But let's say I pick up my phone and walk into another room where the LTE signal isn't as good, and my phone drops to 3G-- when I come back to the good LTE reception room, it should reconnect, like my previous phone would. Instead, it doesn't. It has nothing to do with CSFB.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pastert33:
Ok well good luck getting help fixing this problem with an atittude like that. Since I've had this phone, I mostly see 3G but with my S4, I never saw 3G. I can get it to be on LTE all day long when det to LTE only. Its something to do with 3G/LTE hand off and the single band data/voice radio.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drbadass:
My "attitude" was simply to correct you, since you either didn't read the article or didn't understand what I'm talking about.

I can agree it's probably something to do with the hand-off and/or the radio/how aggressively it decides to change connections, but that's not CSFB.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon.W:
Hi there,

For a few days now I have been experiencing random reboots of my phone and I've always just thought that it was the ROM I was on (Omega) as I did not update it for a time (Not too long). Now the phone has decided to keep rebooting and I have installed a recovery of a stock ROM. It also won't turn on sometimes and when it does it just shows a picture of a battery when plugged into a charger. Sometimes it shows charge and sometimes it says there is no charge at all. It also turns itself off sometimes when plugged into a charger. I am not sure whether this is SDS? Any ideas to save my S3?

Cheers,

Jon

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedanderson:
So, I don't know if my problem here in particular is unique or new, but this issue started about a week ago.

My Nexus 5, is rooted, and running Cyanogenmod 11, (was) running with ART Runtime, and I was getting pretty decent battery life with the phone. Usually nothing less than 2-3 hours of screen on time, with pretty typical settings (location off, sync off, etc).

Out of nowhere, about last week my battery life began to be much worse. It'll drain from full to 20% in a matter of 5 or 6 hours, and none of my usage really changed at all. I'm well aware of the mm-qcamera-daemon, but according to my battery usage page, it still isn't really in use or bothering my battery life.

What could cause this sudden change? I'm here at work plugging my phone in half way through the day, when normally I can go about 2 days without charging.

I've tried factory resetting, I've turned off ART, I've tried changing the governor on the CPU, and many other things. Is my battery simply going bad?

If anything has a solution for me, it'd be a blessing.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaCroX95:
If i was on your place I'd return it back to stock and see how my phone would react. Afterwards if issue has to do anything with hardware I'd unroot + relock bootloader and give it to my provider for a warranty and explain them my problems.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedanderson:
Hmm..

That's not a bad idea. I think I'll flash stock back on to it when I get home tonight. You know, I have insurance on the phone, but I was expecting to have to exchange it for breaking the phone's screen, not for my battery going bad. I hope Stock ROM fixes the problem, or hell.. maybe whenever 4.4.3 ROMs start coming out, that might do the trick to. I've been careful to take care of this phone, since I broke my Nexus 4 two months after I got it.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaCroX95:
You're welcome. I hope that you solve your problem as soon as possible. If you take a look how your phone does with stock on your diagnose of a problem would be much easier and from than on if the problem was in software you can try some other roms and kernels. I personally am not really a fan of cyanogenmod 11 at least not for nexus 5 since I've had few bugs using for a few days.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedanderson:
Well, I really liked Paranoid Android for my Nexus 4, and I've had no issues until recently with CM11. :\

I guess stock is going to be my best bet though. I just really hope I can deal with the battery drain issue from mm-qcamera-daemon or whatever.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaCroX95:
I've been using SlimKat in combination with Faux's custom kernel for a few days now and I must say that peformance is as smooth as it was never before, speed is absolutely phenomenal and my battery life is more than pleasing (around 24H + 3-4 Hrs of screen on time).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedanderson:
Well, that sounds like exactly I want. I'm not opposed to trying another custom ROM either. Can you PM me a link to the thread with whatever particular build you're using?

If it's efficient and up to 4 hours of on screen time, sounds like exactly what I need.

I'm more than happy to ditch my ROM if I can get better performance, haha.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaCroX95:
ROM: http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/d...4-slim-hammerhead-4-4-2-build-4-official-3700

KERNEL: http://faux.romhost.me/hammerhead/kk44/

I'm using non-ultimate version of the kernel which means that it doesn't support overclocking and I'm also using a bit older build which is very stable and works flawlessly for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedanderson:
Ah, great. I'm actually going to download it now, while I'm here at work. Also, does this particular ROM work at all with ART Runtime, because if possible, I'd like to continue using it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaCroX95:
It does support ART. I didn't try it on this ROM though so I cannot tell exactly whether it's working or not. You'll have to test it by yourself but I am pretty sure that if your phone doesn't have any hardware issues that you won't be disappointed with the performance of ROM + Kernel with or without ART! Hit thanks if I helped you anyhow :laugh:

PS: Though since the ART is still in beta phase of development there is a possibility that it has caused you so much trouble with battery =)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Morsisuyo:
Does anyone know how I can fix this? I try to us the cast share with the Belkin miracast, and I cannot get it to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] R2D2_NZ:
Probably not possible at present. It seems that one or more WFD library files contains code that determines if the phone has been modified, and if so, then it will refuse the connection.

It's worth noting that WiFi Direct can and will pair with a MiraCast device (including the Samsung AllShare Cast) which shows that the wifi connection is good to the device. It's what the library does with that connection that seems to be the cause of the connection being refused.

So until some clever dev / gifted amateur can find the offending code and nullify it, your only recourse will be to revert your Note 3 to as stock as possible, likely including the stock recovery. Which isn't really an answer for me, I'm afraid.

So I await a hack with anticipation.

HTH in some way...
