[LG Optimus G Pro] corncakes11:
I received my G Pro back in May sometime off of eBay, and I believe it was refurbished, but I don't quite remember exactly. A little while after first getting it, I noticed a little blob under the digitizer of the device, not on top. I have no screen protector on this device, so that wouldn't of caused it. At the same time, I noticed that dust somehow sneaked it's way under the screen as well. I'm wondering as to how this happened, but I think dust snuck through the earpiece. I'm not sure what the cause of this mysterious "blob" is, but that could be because the digitizer is separating from the LCD screen. Any help on this? I cannot provide pictures because I am new here, so no outside links, and the files are too large to post.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ackliph:
I do know that in a galaxy phone, the screen is adhered to the glass. If you replace just the glass, you can't replace the "glue" that was between the screen and glass. If the GPro is also designed like this, then you could experience the symptoms you're experiencing. To remedy this, you could attempt to lift the screen up (do not force). If it comes up easily, you could attempt to clean under it with some alcohol and soft lint free cloth. Then perhaps place some adhesive around the edges that are allowing in the dust. Good luck.
[LG Optimus G Pro] corncakes11:
The digitizer is not removable on the G Pro, at least that's what a repair representative told me. He told me the only way to fix this is to have the device completely replaced, which is impossible for me.
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
the digitizer and screen are not glues together on the G Pro! I have changed my touchscreen/digitizer and they are two desperate pieces. I got dust under my screen a month after I changed my digitizer. ! the area along the sides of the screen for the adhesive stripes is very narrow! if I had o guess you adhesive slipped or was not sealed correctly from the factory or something and now u r getting dust under your screen.
[LG Optimus G Pro] corncakes11:
Okay, I guess I will be returning the device after all. I don't really have any other option.

What "refurbished" means on eBay I understand to be kind of broad. It could mean LG refurbished a phone, or a seller bought a broken phone and fixed it thus "refurbished."

The screen issue might be a poor repair job.

Sprint To Replace CEO, Drop Bid For T-Mobile.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/08/06/us-sprint-corp-tmobile-idUSKBN0G52JV20140806

http://techcrunch.com/2014/08/05/sp...d-for-t-mobile-amid-tough-regulatory-climate/

What are your thoughts? Personally, I liked the thought of them merging and John Legere being in charge of the newly merged operation.

It would have given T-Mobile access to more spectrum in cities where it could use it. They say 3 companies would have made for LESS competition, but

I think a larger company lead by John would have given ATT and Verizon a real competition.

EDIT-

A new rumor is that Iliad (french cell phone carrier) is in talks with other companies to make a joint bid/consortium to buy T-mobile after their intial offer was rejected.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-iliad-talks-investors-improve-185833581.html
[T-Mobile LG G3] hawkstwelve:
EDIT: Completely misread article. Nevermind.
[T-Mobile LG G3] wideasleep1:
I think John and TMO's recent performance is making the prospect of 'needing' a merger less and less convincing. Mergers are a tool to cover a company's failings, by acquiring talent or services (or in our case tools/spectrum) and are rarely in a consumer's best interest. Value and pro-consumer policies foster brand loyalty faster than voracious growth of conglomerates lining investor pockets. You'll find me at the leader of value and service, which has been TMobile for some years now, imho..and I believe it all started with Andy Rubin's Danger, Inc partnering with TMobile for Android's predecessor-Sidekick. Imagine if that partnership had gone to Sprint or ATT..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_(company)
[T-Mobile LG G3] sn0warmy:
Thank God. I was fully prepared to jump ship if the merger went through. My previous experiences with Sprint are worse than all the crap you hear about with Comcast (which I also dropped 2 years ago). I wasn't about to put myself in a position to possibly deal with it again.

I'm gonna go ahead and speculate that Sprint had some ridiculous demands that T-Mobile just wasn't willing to bend over and take. Good on John Legere and T-Mobile for sticking to their guns and not giving in. Since I know I am not alone, I can say that the fail of the merger has allowed you to retain a lot of current happy customers.
[T-Mobile LG G3] wideasleep1:
The conspiracy theorist in me think Iliads's announcement was a strong signal that highlighted the possibility (or certainty) that a merger decreasing the total number of players was not going to fly. Softbank came to their senses before losing a ton of money, unlike AT&T. The fling was sweet, but the romance incomplete..Iliad was the other woman.
[T-Mobile LG G3] budco2000:
T-Mobile has been gaining massive subscribers over the last 18 months and seeing record profits every quarter. They will soon be rolling out 700 Mhz spectrum little by little. As long as they keep gaining subscribers, and the network can handle it, means future upgrades. A merger wouldn't really be needed at this point in time. Things are good for our Uncarrier.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Skizzy034:
I kinda think the Uncarrier stuff was done to entice buyers by showing a gain in subscribers.

I have been trying to get the cifsmanager to mount my smb share on my device as a folder. From what I've read I need to download cifs.ko and im not sure where to get the file for 4.4.2. If anyone doesn't mind helping me or steering me in the right direction that'd be great.
[Shield Q&A] marcoplo:
Really I don't think you need any modification, this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en

Should solve all of your problems:angel:. Unless you want to do something more crazy but you have not specified the purpose
[Shield Q&A] SilverSix311:
What I'm trying to do is mount the share as a drive or folder so it looks like its physically on my tablet
[Shield Q&A] SilverSix311:
So upon doing more research and googling I found that you jneed a kernel compiled with the cifs module. I've been reading about compiling kernels and I think this up coming week I'm going to make a Linux VM to start learning all thus stuff and try to compile my own kernel for the nvidia shield tablet. I use VMs so I can keep my windows clean of installs and junk. If anyone has any suggestion/help or really any feedback lemme know. I found on nvidias website that they have all the source so hopefully this won't be crazy hard...
[Shield Q&A] Keithn:
If you have never built before it's not too dificult. Just setup the build environment (there are tons of guides) and then follow the directions from Nvidia. I have builds in the general section. I have been trying to get cwm compiling and that has been a pain. I can try to help of you need it, but I have never messed with kernels before.
[Shield Q&A] SilverSix311:
Thanks for the reply will definitely let ya know if I need help with it. Cwm? I'm guessing Clockwork's recovery? Sorry been out ta android community since the launch of the G2 that was my last device. Been rolling apple since I work for em and get discounts. I will let ya know how its going and if I get this working maybe write a tutorial to get all of it up and running.
[Shield Q&A] Keithn:
Yes clockworkmod Recovery. Also I'd try to take a dump\backup of the stock ROM and apps before you start playing. I made the mistake of not doing that and now I have none of the stock nvidia apps since compiling from source only gives you AOSP
[Shield Q&A] Unjustified Dev:
If your rooted dump boot.img and send it here I have compiled the stock kernel with cifs for you

[Shield Q&A] SilverSix311:
Ok, i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get adb working. I installed treh Universal Naked Driver, but adb isnt seeing my device. I went to settings and checked applications setting to see if there was a USB Debugging mode and i dont see it. It also says on nvidias site to enable Developer Mode but i cannot for the life of me find it...

*EDIT*

Ok i got my developer mode working, weird they hid it by taping the build number... No im trying to get it into fastboot mode i guess to unlock my bootloader.

*EDIT 2*

I got fastboot working unlocked my device, about to pull that boot.img for ya!

*EDIT 3*

Here is my boot.img from my device. Finally figured out how to do all this stuff. Been so long. Good refresher course tho.

Mega.co.nz: http://bit.ly/VbtoFh

I do appreciate all the help and you compiling this kernel! This is awesome and i cant wait to use it!!
[Shield Q&A] Unjustified Dev:
I recommend you install cwm first if not already installed. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54747443&postcount=151

Before fully installing it boot it with

fastboot boot recovery.img

to make sure it fits your needs. Once it's working for you or if you don't want it , it's not necessary to fastboot flash it to install it . You are still able to flash etc when it's booted. I'm attaching a flashable zip with your boot.img repacked with the kernel and the new modules.

Let me know if you experience any issues with the boot.img or recovery.img. Weird enough my boot.img is definitely smaller shouldn't matter though
[Shield Q&A] SilverSix311:
OK... so after flashing CWM, and flashing the cifs.img zip to my device. I cannot for the life of me get the CIFS Manager to mount my share...

This is my current config atm.

[Shield Q&A] Unjustified Dev:
Load via insmod that module won't load itself
[Shield Q&A] SilverSix311:
OK well I set that setting and I'm still getting the same error

*EDIT*

so I ran

su insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko

And it ran without any errors which is good. I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong at this point.

*EDIT* 2

I decided to click about and saw a modules section, it looks like the module isn't loading from CIFSManager. I also noticed that if I ran the insmod command with su that it doesn't work either. Is there something I have to do to force it to load?

*EDIT* 3

OK well I'm an idiot haha. Forgot to root after wiping and updating. So I ran towelroot and insmod command again so now that working and the cifs.KO is working but now I'm just getting a permission denied in CIFSManager... So I'm not sure what to do now. Modules are loaded and running but no matter what CIFSManager is still giving me grief...
[Shield Q&A] Unjustified Dev:
Try to get a logcat while it says this does cifsmanager not have a root mode?
[Shield Q&A] Unjustified Dev:
That isn't a full logcat but have you tried other apps?
[Shield Q&A] SilverSix311:
What app do you recommend using then?
[Shield Q&A] Unjustified Dev:
You might want to post in the app thread I'm not too sure as I never actually needed the module http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756158
[Shield Q&A] daeymon:
Looking at your results from the other thread, could the issue be that the cifs image doesn't contain the module "nls_utf8.ko"?

I know on my JXD S7800B it was a required module to get cifs working, but then the JXD S7800B was 4.2 Stock, and the Nvidia Shield Tablet is 4.4 Stock, so I may be completely wrong.

[Shield Q&A] daeymon:
In my case I have a portable 1TB wifi drive which uses a secured SMB service so NFS won't work for it. But if its an unsecured share, then NFS should work fine.
[Shield Q&A] ricardo85x:
NFS is not unsecured.

In the NFS Server you expecify which clients(IP ADDRESS) can access a volume.

Also NFS is faster than CIFS
[Shield Q&A] daeymon:
I meant unsecured in the sense that the connection can be established without needing a username and password. My portable wifi drive requires these to be sent, so the NFS method won't work.

Go to your About phone in settings and then click status and scroll to the bottom and see if it says custom or official that is the first thing that sprint might see that it has been rooted. Also check your bootloader and see if it says custom/official and all this can be reset with triangle away except for the KNOX count but i dont think that will matter as long as the rest has been reset.

Looking for some guru help here...

My S5 has fallen to the fingerprint reader bug... I was able to get in and switch to a pin unlock, but I put off having the phone RMA'ed for convenience reasons... but now I've stumbled onto something...

Used Safestrap to take a nandroid backup of /data and then did a factory reset. This caused the fingerprint functionality to revert to the unprogrammed factory state where I was able to program new fingerprints successfully. After this, I restored the nandroid and it was back to its broken state. Conclusion: the hardware is fine and the problem is somewhere in the /data partition.

I found a DB in /data/data/com.samsung.android.fingerprint.service/databases/fingerprint.db, which contains one row for each fingerprint, but obviously does not contain the actual fingerprint data as there are no BLOB type data in it. Also, clearing that DB alone doesn't help. Any other ideas where I might look?

Got PM will send notes later. Not all devices have this issue. The most sensible thing would be fix/exchange under warranty if you can be parted from it. For others thinking about this, it is possible you might create the alignment issue by attempting DIY fix which does require extensive dis-assembly. Not for meek, but only moderate skills with screwdriver required! and of course you just tear up any warranty you've got!! If successful the fix does work mine if anything is a little too solid now, I have to virtually prize it open - well not quite but certainly solid.
