[Samsung Gear Live] DrawnToLife:
I'm no longer getting vibrations on my wrist with my Gear Live. I haven't touched anything, but they just stopped. The motor does work however, I've tested it using the Phone Finder app. I've tried resetting the device, restarting the device, and making sure that it's not on mute. I can't seem to find settings for this anywhere; could someone help me out?

Edit: I love how as soon as I post this, vibration starts working again..

Could it be that certain apps aren't getting the thing to vibrate, but others are? Anyone else getting vibration notifications with Textra?
[Samsung Gear Live] Brendo:
I swear vibration didn't work every time. It's so faint though that even when it does, I don't notice it
[Samsung Gear Live] hogwilson:
Do you get Textra to work without. Contact + ?
[Samsung Gear Live] D.S.M:
Watch not vibrating for text messages

I noticed my Gear Live wasn't vibrating for text messages. It seemed random whether or not it vibrated for text messages. It vibrated normally for all other notifications. I have now discovered (and I believe and hope it's a software issue) that my watch will vibrate every time for incoming texts if and only if my phone is set to silent or ring mode. If the phone is set to vibrate, my watch will not vibrate for incoming texts. My Phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 on the Verizon network running Android 4.4.2. I have tried rebooting, powering down andback on, and even a factory reset all resulting in no change of behavior. Is this similar to what you were experiencing? Anyone else experiencing this?
[Samsung Gear Live] MikeyFlo727:
Text message vibration not working

I also noticed I'm not getting a vibration for text messages. Not sure why, I've had the watch for a week now and this just started a day or so ago. I've also restarted and reset to factory settings with no luck. If anyone knows of the issue, please post. Thanks!
[Samsung Gear Live] MikeyFlo727:
UPDATE

Not sure if it's a permanent fix or not, but I actually shut my phone down completely (Samsung GS4) and turned it back on. I did a couple test text messages and the watch is picking up the messages and vibrating again. Again, this could just be a band-aid but it did seem to work.

Hi,

It is down again! I upgraded to the AKU3.2, got the bluetooth stereo working fine for a day and now is down again, the usual interruptions.

The streaming audio is checked.

Tried "tornado" file and the "a2dp improve" file available here, but none worked.

Don't tell me I have to reflash my machine please.

Is there any other fix, anywhere????
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] gonzaloblanco1992:
No hassle, I got it working now with one other file for Tornado, if anyone suffers the same problem, just let me know
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] gonzaloblanco1992:
Not Agaaaiiiiinnnn

Back to square one in this one man thread.

It goes back to the usual interruptions after sounding perfect for a while, why, why, why?????

AND WHY I cannot delete the file Avrcp_MPplugin.dll to reinstall it again!???

It keeps saying that it is in the ROM and cannot be deleteD??

Put straightforward, is it possible? Are there any flashable bravia engines around? Im using this Custom ROM and I miss bravia engine 2's capabilities, sharpening the image and making them more vibrant and such..
[Sony Xperia ZR] SirVer:
I saw a way to get Bravia Engine back after unlocking your bootloader somewhere, I think it was in another Xperia's forum. Or maybe in the ZR forum itself. Also, it's probably only for stock, but you can always take a nandroid and experiment.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinwb:
Hey guys. I got my S5 less than a month ago and promptly rooted it. Today I've been having issues with the phone. It starts up but the screen doesn't turn on. I have to take out the battery and restart many times before it works and then any pressure put on the phone causes it to shut off. It hasn't been damaged physically in any way but I have to take it back to the store, so I believe I need to unroot to keep my warranty intact.

I've been using a S5 firmware I found on this forum and trying to unroot the phone, but I get this string of errors. What can I do? I'm really in over my head here. Any suggestions are welcome.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
You are getting an authorization failure. That could be caused by several things.. flashing an earlier firmware version or borderline USB cables. Or a timeout from a busy PC perhaps.

Try this: Backup your phone if there are any user files that you don't want to loose.

Do a factory reset from the settings menu (this will erase user files!).

Wipe your cache from recovery mode (phone off, then volume up + home + power).

Then use Odin to flash a full stock firmware that is the same build as you currently have on the phone.

Odin is picky about cables. If you have ongoing issues, try a different cable + USB port

There are alternate flash settings as a last resort. But if have dificulty, it's likely a cable issue.

I have a Hisense Sero 7 Pro thats rooted with Dopa 2.0 Rom and encrypted it. But I intend to gift it soon. Before I do, I want to revert back to stock without encryption. I have the stock Rom on but encryption remains. I've tried factory reset but it didn't remove encryption, it still ask for my password and my data still remain. I also tried to wipe data with CMW but receiving "error cannot mount SD." So that isn't working either. Any suggestions?

Hey guys,

Bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 off craigslist recently and didn't realize it was in retail mode until after I got home and started playing with it :( Ive tried both of the two popular master passwords: 5444 and M729Q16K8546 and neither of them work.. Phone is for the Sprint Network.

Any thoughts on how I can remove the retail mode app so I can use the phone?

Apologizes if this has been asked elsewhere on the forum.

Thanks for your help.

iirc "retail mode" phones physically lack the modem chips and antenna. It's a Galaxy S5 Touch instead of phone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GReddySetGO:
So for my Venmo app, I am not receiving any notifications.

When I first downloaded the app, it worked fine. I got sick of the notifications and turned them off (from inside the app, not the app manager). I have since turned them back on and still never receive notifications. When I select the ringtone, it doesn't play the sample sound, it just accepts it. I double checked that push notifications is enabled from the app manager. Any ideas?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBimmer:
Hello,

I've been trying to enable tethering (BT, USB and WIFI) on my new S5 Active with no success. All the methods suggested here on XDA and on google did not work. It could be because this is an AT&T model.

Did anyone successfully did that?

Thanks

(I couldn't find a Galaxy S5 Active thread so I posted this question here)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdock:
"all the methods" is not really specific enough - you may have missed the one that works.

Either way you will need to be rooted. With the AT&T model, towelroot is the current method.

Once rooted you have two main options - an xposed module (there is one specifically for tethering, and wanam xposed has the entitlement check option as well), or replace the tethering provision apk with a hacked one. If you look over in the at&t forums you will find methods for both. While the xposed method MAY not work for the S5 active, I can't think of any reason why the other method wouldn't. Did you try either of those?

Also, without root, foxfi or clockworkmod tether should work, but they're only partial solutions.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBimmer:
I'm not sure of either of those. What I meant "everything" is editing the settings.db.

Yes I tried FoxFi and it cannot tether via BT to my car or to an iPad. This is what I've tried so far.

Can you please elaborate on this wanam xposed method that may work?

Forgot to add, my phone is rooted with towelroot.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdock:
Ah, the settings.db method doesn't work for kitkat I believe.

You should probably go read up about xposed if you don't know about it already, but briefly, you need to be root to install the xposed framework.

Then, once xposed is installed and active, you choose different modules to install. wanam xposed is one specific one that has a lot of tweaks for Samsung in it. If you browse around the settings there is one that is to disable the entitlement check.

xposed is not for everyone, because modules can cause weird behavior on your phone (for example mine was giving me the battery cover popup often when unlocking my screen, not just when rebooting, and even more weird is the occasional speakerphone enabling without it really being enabled, or automatically enabled when the phone is not against my ear). But I have to admit, some of those modules are darned useful.

Anyway there are a couple good threads about tethering over in the AT&T GS5 forums.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBimmer:
The wanam module I installed has only one setting related to tethering and it's enabled.

I was asking specifically about the S5 ACTIVE model since it's AT$T proprietary and I have a feeling that has something to do with it.

Ah well, I guess I have to wait someone to figure this one out.

Thanks

T-mobile Xposed & Xtether worked for me

But only for 1 night... I watched a movie, went ta sleep. Woke up the next morning & it never worked again. Lets me enable the hotspot still & connect but doest lrt me online with any devices. Somene told mr to try Ua agent switcher for chrome, but that didnt seem to work ether... smh. Looking for other options asap.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chungdae:
The only way I was able to get tethering to work on my S5 Active was to use Foxfi's USB method.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBimmer:
I tried FoxFi too, but my main thing is to share my phone's connection to my car. FoxFi can't do that because it needs special software installed on the receiving station and obviously you can't do that on a car.

I was using my iPhone jailbroken with TetherMe. Question is if such software exists for Android.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mexican-bum:
Replace the tethering provision apk with a hacked one works on the galaxy S5 Active, at least on mine it did. You will still get the warning but after it goes away tethering starts up fine, all tethering works, wifi, usb and bluetooth.

Quick video on my S5 active using unlimited att data plan, I also found a way to get around the att throttling of the unlimited data plan about 5 months ago, I will admit, it will be very easy for att to stop or correct, so I will selfishly keep to myself as I know it would be abused but will say it requires no root.:good:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBimmer:
Can you elaborate more on the bluetooth part? I don't care about WiFi or USB tethering, they work right out the box. Bluetooth is what's been bugging me because my car needs that to display traffic and other info on the navigation screen.

What I saw from your video is that you have USB and WiFi tethering option (as I do) but NO bluetooth.

Can you confirm BT works too without having to install 3rd party software on the client side? If yes, can you share that apk?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mexican-bum:
Well I may have not explained well, this is really for people who have unlimited data or a plan that doesn't natively allow tethering. Also while usb and wifi tethering that is built in works, since there is no native bluetooth you must use third party software, foxfi I can verify works via DUN but is slow, just need to install foxfi, and create a dial up network, probably won't work with what your wanting since I believe you need a PAN network.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBimmer:
FoxFi does not work. It's the first app I've tried. It needs a proprietary client software installed on the receiving station. Useless for me.

On the plan, I'm not worried about that, I've been tethering my iPhone 5 forever with no problems so far.

Now that you mentioned I need a bluetooth PAN, I installed a PAN module but it says /system/bin/pand could not be found on your phone.

It's a new thing to look for. If I can find a pand that works on S5, I have a feeling I'll be in business.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mexican-bum:
Ya DUN requires nothing installed on the client but isn't the preferred way now a days but does work. But in your case it would be useless.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBimmer:
Can anybody with a Sprint/Verizon or Unlocked Galaxy S5 check and see if there's a file named pand in /system/bin? And if yes, can you please share it? I think only AT$T's versions don't have it

Hi its me again.

I'm now in the process of developing a flash tool for the Prophet (s200).

Things i've noticed, is a change in protocol compared to the other phones.

Firstly it sends some of the initializing commands 1 byte at a time.

At some point it sends the command "ruustart". After that, all output from the phone stops. To me it seems like, after this step its up to the phone to keep up, you dont have any means of knowing if the phone got your message or not.

Well just thought i wanted to share this with you. If any of you have any questions regarding this phone, feel free to post in this thread.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solcott:
Wondering if anyone here has experience dealing with LG support for repairs, I've had a problem I've been trying to get fixed for around 2 months, and not sure how to proceed.

My problem was every couple weeks my phone would nag me about not having a SIM card inserted, and take like 10 reboots before it would detect the SIM card.

I sent my phone to LG in the mail, because Google referred me to them as it being not something Google can help with, but because it was under manuf. warranty period LG should repair/replace it.

When I got my phone back from LG, it seemed to have some kind of bad flash of dev. firmware on it because everything in About Phone seems "wrong", and the picture is only drawing in the center of the screen, like it's drawing at the wrong resolution or something. (I mean, the phone model says "AOSP on GalaxyNexus" phones coming from Google aren't running AOSP, and why it says it's a GalaxyNexus, I have no clue because I sent my LG phone to LG, not to Samsung)

Also, they didn't return my SIM card tray, so I can't even put my SIM card back into it.

My IMEI / Kernel Version / Baseband / etc., almost everything in about phone is set to "Unknown", except for the serial number, which is "aaaaaaaaaaaaaa" (I might have the amount of a's wrong, but it's all a's). My Android version is set to "Pie Key Lime" (not the speculated name of KeyLimePie, but Pie Key Lime) and I cannot install ANYTHING from the Play Store, because it says the version of Android on my device is incompatible.

I've tried getting ahold of LG again several times, they've said they'll send me my SIM card tray, and that I should have it in 2 days, on three different occasions, I waited a week between calling them back each time but I've never got my SIM card tray back.

The fourth time I've tried getting in touch with them, which was today, they have no record of my support ticket, and cannot give me any further support because "aaaaaaa..." is not a valid serial number of a product they sell. Any suggestions about what I should do?

I sent them a phone with a minor annoyance, and got back something completely unusable.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
I'd immediately call and ask for someone in charge. And i wouldn't end the call until they agree to overnight me a working and complete phone. ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
If what you describe is true, no offense, then that is really messed up. You should keep calling them and insist as much as you can. If you have to escalate it further than have it done and also contact Google about it. I think they are still obligated to help you. No one should take that kind of ****.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
What the hell. They dont know which firmware have to be flashed? Those idiots. Tell them to flash the "USER" firmware to your phone and not the "FACTORY" firmware which is not for costumers.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solcott:
Had a several hour long phone call with an LG supervisor today, basically she told me "that's completely crazy, I don't know how you got a phone back so completely broken, I don't know what to do because I've never had such a weird support claim, send the phone you got back from the repair center in your phones original box, so we can check if the stuff in About Phone really doesn't match what's on the box, and we'll get ahold of you again once a repair technician looks at it"

So, thanks everyone for the suggestions of "nag the supervisor into submission", hopefully I get back a phone that works instead of a phone call in a week saying "yup, this phone you sent us is broken, you want us to send it back or throw it in the garbage?"
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mikereidis:
I'm looking to buy a Z Ultra in order to better support my FM apps on the Xperia Z* line of phones and tablets.

I understand GPE is guaranteed to be bootloader unlockable, and can be had at Expansys new for US $350 now.

But there are more ROMs and other development for the non-GPE models. Someone was working on a tool to convert non-GPE ROMs to GPE, but that doesn't seem too fruitful so far I guess. Maybe in future... ?

The problem with non-GPE Z Ultras is that many are bootloaded locked, and it seems very difficult to guarantee any Ultra bought is bootloader unlockable.

There are slightly used Z Ultras on EBay here in Canada for about $280 US. Good price, and the ads say "Unlocked" (Factory not specified, so I'd guess aftermarket SIM unlocked) but I understand Canadian Rogers phones are BL locked, and probably Canada Bell phones too.

I'd think that "Factory Unlocked" (for SIM of course) would imply BL unlockable, but I read posts here and there throwing doubt on that.

Anyone know that "Factory SIM Unlocked" from Hong Kong for example are guaranteed BL unlocked ?

Otherwise, I guess I'll just go the GPE route.

Thanks ! :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Bell and rodgers ZUs are both bootloader locked, and I think some un the UK (t-mobile?) were as well. I would think that any others should be bootloader unlockable. My two (one from SG and the other may be from HK?) both were unlockable.

I was working on a tool, but as I dont have a GPe it was difficult and I gave up. I think the only real bug left was baseband related, so no radio.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mikereidis:
Thanks. :)

I actually decided to go for a Z2 Tablet straight from Sony for now. Deal seemed good; equivalent of $440 US.

Should be BL unlockable buying direct.

Z Ultra may be in my future still.
