[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] code101:
As the title says, can the Sprint S3 be routed using towelroot and not trip Knox?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
Yes, it has been confirmed that rooting work towelroot does not trip Knox. But once you root, if you flash custom recovery, you will.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] code101:
Awesome. Thanks for the reply.

really how do i check if i tripped it since i used the towel root method and odin to get Philiz Touch..........cause i don't think i tripped it

Boot to Download mode and see if it says Warranty = 1. 1 is tripped, 0 (zero) is not tripped.

I'll bite. If it's tripped, then what? because this appears to be what I've done to my SPH-L710, build L710VPUDND8.

I rooted with towelroot, installed supersu 2.01, installed root checker, and then clockworkmod ROM Manager 5.5.3.7. root checker says I have root. when supersu runs, it asks if I want it to try to disable knox. I say yes, and after 5 minutes, it's still trying. I figure that after 5 minutes if it hasn't been successful, it never will. If I try running something like root explorer to search for files called "knox", it also produces nothing after 5 minutes or more.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Well since I did the same method minus ROM manager.... I tried disabling Knox with the su app and it took forever so I rebooted my s3 via power menu then tried again with su app then it worked and to my knowledge Knox is disabled
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WizzyNoise:
And this apparently is an important difference, according to jdsingle.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If it's tripped and you still are under the Samsung first year warranty, then they probably won't fix it because the warranty is invalid. That's the only caveat if it being tripped. Reported by many Sprint and Best Buy will still cover it unset extended warranty and don't even look at the Knox status.

It can be confusing knowing what things to do first and which order to do them in. Here's what I did:

1. S-OFF using xtc clip (its a thing you buy, but its cheap). That will allow your bootloader to install unsigned PG88img updates.

2. Use PG88IMG.zip to flash an engineering hboot.

3. Use eng hboot to flash a custom recovery (I used 4ext recovery)

4. Use the new recovery to flash your new rom. There are many 4.x androids to choose from (look for the first pinned thread in the development forum - huge list of saga-related links) but I'm using the unofficial cyanogenmod 10.2 stable and i'm very happy with it.
[HTC Desire S] rht_sg:
wanted to ask you since you are using CM 10.2 -

is this based on Android 4.4 or 4.2 ?

how is the battery life with it and is it smooth ? any bugs/crashes, etc ?

If this is 4.4 and Desire S can handle it, then i will flash this, else i will try some 4.2 based (probably CM 10.1?)

Thanks

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markfptuson:
Dumb question. 'Just open CWM and wipe user data, cache, and dalvik cache.' Done it, a good few times.

Basically, I put CyanogenMod on it last year, and then didn't like it and ended up putting a hacked-up copy of the stock ROM on it, which didn't work properly so a couple of weeks ago I put a testing release of CyanogenMod 11 on it, and so far I'm happy, except for a couple of small things which are a little irritating. Immediately after being wiped and reflashed, it reported about half the storage as being used, and when I look at the filesystem from my main computer, it's saying the same - about 5GiB on the device, about 2GiB used... and about 600MiB available. So somewhere, there's a lump of *something* taking up a huge chunk of my storage.

I'm prepared to do a full wipe, however full I can, and reflash it - provided I can keep the recovery environment (Philz Touch). But how can I do this? I've looked through all the options available in the OS and in the recovery environment, and found nothing I haven't already tried.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shepguessed:
Have you checked to see if your nandroid back ups are on your internal card. They take up a lot of space. If you didn't specify them to save to external they will save to internal by default. ROM manager app or something similar can tell you where the back ups are stored.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markfptuson:
I went into it again and formatted the filesystems - but they didn't seem to format completely - and then reinstalled CyanogenMod. When I looked there were suddenly a couple few files in the clockworkmod backup directory which, when I removed them, freed up all that space.

So it was an even dumber question than I thought - I've solved the problem by just poking at another setting I'd not noticed before.

You wouldn't think I've been doing OS builds for over ten years, would you...?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shepguessed:
Yeah, I learned that looking in the cwm backup folder is the best place to look for solving missing storage issues. Glad you solved it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
So, on previous phones you could simply delete the /data/system/password.key file to disable the lockscreen password. Does anyone happen to know where Samsung has put it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
/data/system/locksettings.db-*

/data/system/gesture.key

/data/system/sparepassword.key

/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
Thanks, but,

locksettings.db-* is simply information for what type of lockscreen, it sadly does not hold the value for the lock pin/password you set.

gesture.key does hold the pattern you selected.

sparepassword.key holds the pin you chose for your backup pin from the pattern.

settings.db is just a database for the general settings

I cannot for the life of me figure out where the "password.key" file is. I think Samsung changed this location. But according to the source code, it should be the same location. -.-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
I figured it out.

System property, security.mdpp needs to be set to "None" in order for it to use the standard path. I'm not sure where its putting it if that is set to Ready. The smali is hard to follow. But i got it working properly now :) Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] daniello8:
Hi, my security.mdpp is set to "None" by default but still I get no password.key file. I used Delayed Lock successfully on my Galaxy S4 but it won't work well on my S5 since it heavily relies on that file to also do the unlocking, when another admin is active that requires PIN Lock.

I am looking for an information on how to get back the S4 behaviour referring to that file.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjornbh:
Hello,

It's been a while since I've used my Note II N7100 because 1. it's stopped working (not sure why, I wasn't attempting to root it) and 2. I purchased the Note 3 shortly after the Note II killed over.

Here's what's going on:

Every time I press the power button to turn the phone on the only thing that happens is a single red flash to the left of the front camera. The screen doesn't come on at all. Any idea what the issue is and how to fix it?

What I've done:

1. removed the battery and held the power button for 60 seconds, put the battery back in and I get the same thing as stated above.

2. left the phone alone for about 3-4 months and I just plugged the phone back in this morning. hopefully someone knows how to fix this and I can work on doing so myself later today.

I've done some reading around on related links here that were suggested per my subject line but I hadn't had any luck. I wouldn't mind getting this thing back up and running and giving it to my dad. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
Curious to see how many G3 owners are using a screen protector or planning to use a screen protector.

I stopped using one on my Nexus 4 and was very happy with it. Over 1 year of use without a screen protector and the screen was flawless. However, I've had my Nexus 5 for about 6 months now without a screen protector and my screen now has 2 deep scratches (you can feel them with your finger and see them in just about any lighting).

Because of my experience with the Nexus 5 screen I'm back to considering going the screen protector route again. However, I'm curious to see what others are thinking regarding the issue.

I should also mention that it is important to me that a screen protector works with a case. I already ordered a TPU case which I plan to use with the phone. Do those glass screen protectors typically work with TPU cases?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
Yes and the Spigen nano tempered glass is by far my favorite one.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suljo94:
first off glass screen protectors do work with tpu cases. the only thing that can scratch your screen is sand metal won't touch it (see hardness rating) if you really dislike screen protectors try liquid solutions(ex. Crystalusion) or you could try tempered glass it feels as glass and it won't give bubbles if you hate that hope this post was helpful I added some links with product info

tempered glass applyment video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7h-QUxTLq0

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
No problem, I have always enjoyed tempered glass. I have yet to have a case where it didn't fit. Since the Spigen nano glass is very thin and it has rounded bezels you won't notice it at all. It also fits almost with maybe < .5mm gap on the left and right side. I had an op with my F400 showing the fit with some cases.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suljo94:
I am sold will try it with my free (had to be said) quickcirclecase hope it fits
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
It will fit and the QC case doesn't cover the edge of the phone, even if it did I don't see any issues. In any case here is the OP.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flaring afro:
The poll should probably have 2 no's - one that says "but using a case" and one that says "and no case".

I personally dislike the look and extra bulk of cases as well as screen protectors.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
No worries about hijacking guys. I'm trying to learn what I can about protective options for this phone anyway.

I gave up on screen protectors a while back but I do not want the G3's screen to end up with the same scratches my Nexus 5 did. I've never tried using a tempered glass screen protector but I've heard great things about them.

I think I'll follow your recommendation and order the Spigen Nano protector tomorrow. I love the idea of having a screen protector that is bubble free. The bubbles and raised edges are why I gave up on screen protectors previously. I imagine the tempered glass one will solve those issues.

EDIT: Is this the Spigen protector you were talking about? $30 seems steep. How long does it last?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flaring afro:
I may change my mind and get a glass protector. They're a lot thinner than they were last time I checked (years ago). The Joto one looks good spec wise. It's the thinnest I've seen at .2mm, assuming they didn't just round it down.

Edit: Actually the i-Blason is just as thin and half the price. It's only 8H compared to 9H with the Joto. Not sure if that difference really will matter. It also doesn't state that it's rounded.

Screen protectors will not protect your screen from cracks if you drop your phone on your screen.

But they prevent scratches like a boss.

You might find ones that protect your screen from cracks, but they will cost you a lot.

And they will add height and they might disturb the responsiveness from of your touchscreen.

The cheap ones will do just fine, they might take scratches more easily than the ones that cost $10.

But if you got a scratch on your screen protector you want to change it anyway (i am the type of person that gets irritated and annoyed by scratches on my beautiful screen).

So why spend a lot of money on something that you will change every few months anyway? You should not ;)

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_Rock899x:
Perhaps. Only time will tell just how fragile these screens are. I do find it a bit ridiculous it can't withstand a 1 foot drop.

Screen protectors helped in the test linked below. Further testing would obviously need to be done to really determine if they would help.

Drop Protection

"Finally, can a screen protector really help prevent cracks in the glass or, worse, shattering if you drop your phone? I’ve dropped phones in torture tests before, and it’s harder than it looks to crack the screen. So for this drop test, I haul out the ladder and climb up 15 feet to stand on my roof.

One iPhone has a screen protector on it and the other has no screen protector. Bombs away! Both phones land hard, screen down on a tile surface. The phone without a screen protector shatters on over half the screen. The glass on the phone with a screen protector is undamaged."

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/upgrade...eally-need-a-screen-protector--232808534.html
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seboj:
Yeah, that's why I added the 'likely' to the statement. There's so much variability in how the phone will land, what it will land on, and what type of protection it has, that it's hard to make a solid overarching statement about screen protectors.

Protecting your phone is a bit like buying insurance. Sure, you can insure yourself for every possible outcome, but is it worth the opportunity cost? You can protect your phone against every possible danger in the world, but is it worth the reduction in aesthetics, usability, size, etc?

I, personally, use a case without a screen protector. I'm willing to give up the aesthetics of the phone and add a little bulk, in order to protect myself against what I consider the majority of dangerous falls. I'm not willing to stick something on top of the screen, which I consider the most important aspect of my smartphone. In all my years of owning smartphones, I've only had 1 screen scratch or break, and that was due to a corner drop.

Such a simple question as "Screen protector, yes or no?" has many levels to it. ;)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_Rock899x:
I agree completely. I have never used a screen protector on any phone but I always use a case. With the introduction of glass screen protectors I'm going to give it a shot. I may hate it in which case I will remove it but I figure it's worth a shot. My G3 was not in a case when it cracked, the case was out for delivery as it happened. I do feel if it was in a case there would have been a good chance it would not have cracked. I have never had insurance on any phone but I got it on the G3 for whatever reason. There was a $200 deductible but at least I'm not stuck with a $580 paper weight.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seboj:
Yeah, I make it a point to buy a case at the store at the same time I buy my phone. I then go on to Amazon or wherever, order the case I like, and return the store-bought one later. That way, my phone is always in a case, to avoid that type of situation.

I'm really tempted to give SquareTrade a try. That $75 deductible sure is tempting..

Yes. Got it with my ballistic case. Great case, but screen protector tends to scratch too easy
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_Rock899x:
