Quote from Mrmarc of xda-developers.com forum:

1. Download from the Market ‘root explorer’ or a similar program. I used the free ‘Super Manager’ with included root file explorer. You must enable the root function in Super Manager, otherwise you don’t see the folders.

2. root your Galaxy Tab –>

3. Within the file explorer you should go up to root map folder (in short: “rm”).

4. Then follow the instructions of Gadgeteer81. You can either delete the file or rename it.

Quote from Gadgeteer81 of xda-developers.com forum:

To Fix Android going into “Obtaining IP Address” loop:

rm /data/misc/dhcp/dhcp_list

It seems to come from the fact that the phone requests its previous IP address to the access point, without any discover message, whereas the lease has expired from the AP point of view…

The previous leases are stored in /data/misc/dhcp/dhcpcd-eth0.lease and /data/misc/dhcp/dhcp_list. You just have to remove the second file (dhcp_list) to force the phone to start a new dhcp negotiation.

Hey guys, i have a question. I'm trying to get into the service mode via the dialer by entering all the codes that i have found so far. None of them work ecept for one that shows promise but only shows a black screen with "Service Mode" at the top and it doesn't respond to any of the imputs from the drop down box. that code is - 27663368378 - There is another one that actually works but it just gives me the info on my network connections. Any help is greatly appreciated. Also I'm running stock, rooted, safestrapped, 4.4.2 kitkat. Thanks!

So, as we all know, touchwiz is pretty bad. Horrible blue, terrible green, amazingly horrible notification panel, etc. Wanam Xposed helps with this and gives you tons of control over touchwiz and hopefully makes it less ugly. Has anybody used it? What settings did you use, specifically for the notification panel would be nice. I'm having trouble finding a good balance and making the panel less ugly. Thanks.

Nothing much you can do to change it. Minor cosmetic changes maybe, but nothing more.

I have put 8 icons in each row. As you I can't find a good balanced scheme of colours.

Also it's very useful adding applications to multiwindow...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
There are now hundreds of millions of happy (and returning) Samsung users content with TouchWiz. The "we all know" are in the very insignificant minority that Samsung doesn't even bother to notice ;) Sales $$ talk .

Why not back things up, try for yourself and report back. That would be useful to those "we all know" lol :p

You could post what works and what doesn't along with screen shots :)

I like touchwiz too, I even like the launcher (I must be crazy I know) but if the stock touchwiz launcher allowed to change the icon pack easily, I'd use it daily

Correlation != causation, just because these devices and have touchwiz does not by that data alone mean that touchwiz is what drives those sales.

I personally bought this tablet solely for the screen and form factor.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
I did not imply that at all...............

The OP was generalising "we all know" as being the majority of users......

I implied that the overwhelming majority are happy with the product as it is "out of the box", that includes TW !! Why on else do they have hundreds of millions of returning customers............... Most people I know are "Average Joe" and are not interested in anything except what is working out of the box. "Average Joes" are who make Samsung the $$.

They have tried various developer devices with "pure" Android, such as SGS4 Google Play Edition (test the market), bottom line is that it just doesn't sell :) "Average Joe" wants a full featured skinned device, not a skimmed down OS version.

Customizations found on the net and installable from Google Play etc aren't even considered by companies as big as Samsung. They build for the masses, not the minority niche market. That's why we have XDA and such for minority, and that includes myself :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderwagn:
Agreed. I guess i don't know how bad TouchWiz really is lol. I like the blues. I like the greens, and i like the functionality the launcher offers. .. also i think Samsung did a great job with TouchWiz on the tab s. Bit of a head scratcher to me why you buy a $500 device with functionality you don't like, and just assuming everyone else feels the same way.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eousphoros:
Maybe it is just the reality distortion field I live in here in the bay area, but no one I know with a Samsung device is running the stock ROM.

Fwiw, that was a decent straw man rebuttal but a straw man none the less.

And wow [MENTION=2991485]thunderwagn[/MENTION], never thought I would see a post like that here on xda.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
None the less - true ;)

My work takes me to all parts of the globe working with many cultures and nationalities where "Average Joe" is seen to be in abundance. ;) Love the work, hate the travel. ....
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eousphoros:
Without a statistically relevant study you can't say its true, just as I can't say its false. Both our arguments rely upon our experience and is quite vulnerable to confirmation bias.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
My well travelled life experience tells otherwise. If you hang with a certain crowd, only one particular view is all you'll see. If you diversify, you'll see the much bigger picture ;)

You don't need to work in the Samsung Marketing Dept to see that stats really do tell a story. .... out of the box features (including TW) = sales = $$ . Bottom line is that if TW was that "horrible" and hated so much by the "we all know", they wouldn't have grown (in the mobile market) as they have. :)

You're missing my overall point...... move in varying circles you will ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eousphoros:
And youre ignoring mine.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Mate, I can see that you are in an argumentative mood and there's no point in continuing a discussion on this subject with you.

We all have our own opinion, but mine is backed up by an extremely diverse and well travelled life experience working in different fields, environments, global location and culture. As I implied, if you move out of the circle your in (and comfort zone), you'll see why things and what things really are. ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eousphoros:
No I just believe either you have an agenda and are trying to manipulate public opinion purely based upon your "well traveled" experience or you have your head so far into one side of the scale that belief is clouding your ability to think about this subjectively. The attempts to discredit me just proves how weak your position has become at the end of this discussion.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Show me the where I have attempted to discredit you !

I explained how what lead to my opinion and why I have an ability to think outside the box and correlate OTHER user opinion and feedback from an extremely diverse cross-section. That's all !

You have done neither. .....

If you feel I have discredited you in any way, Mods will take care of things ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eousphoros:
By saying my experience is invalid to the argument because of your belief that you have more relevant exposure to the global populations experience with touchwiz.

My friend, you couldn't be further in the box or possess the ability to correlate if you think the last part of this discussion was about whether the majority of people like touchwiz.

I have been trying to tell you that neither of us posses proper data to state as fact one way or another. Unless you secretly do work for Samsung which brings me back to my agenda point ;)

And besides I thought you wanted this conversation to be done.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
I talking BS. ...I never said or implied your experience was invalid, just that MAYBE it's not broad enough to support "we all know" .....

For example : live your life in one place, that's all you'll ever experience, and form opinion on guesswork instead of a real diversified life.

Yes, I know about data and correlations. You don't need to preach to me. ... Just explained how and why I formed my own opinion. That's a fact :)

An agenda ?? Are you serious. Get your head out of the sand mate.

The only agenda I have here at XDA is to help out users within the limits of my (edit: limited) ability based on time and motivation. Whilst never asking for donations, my contributions (no matter how insignificant) prove exactly that ;)

[HTC One Max] dottat:
HTC preloaded some image files for the "stickers" in the duo effects camera. They are preloaded to /data/preload so you can either flash the zip at the bottom of the second post or manually copy them over to that directory. They (HTC) haven't fully implemented this yet... so you probably won't even notice them missing. The also preload calc and flashlight app this way too.

NOTE- This will work for S-on users provided their current software level is at or below this version. S-off users can user this either way.

OPTION 1)

Rename download file to 0P3PIMG.zip. Make sure you use an SD card formatted to fat32!! (otherwise the phone might not see it) Place file on physical SD card (not internal phone memory)... i repeat physical SD card. Boot up phone to bootloader mode and the phone will auto-detect the file and prompt to install it. Follow any remaining prompts to allow the RUU to flash the software to your phone.

-or-

OPTION 2)

Download file into working fastboot directory. Boot phone to fastboot mode and connect to pc. Type in the following commands.

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip RUU_T6_Sprint_WWE_1.16.651.4.zip

first time you run this it will be short... so run it a second time

fastboot flash zip RUU_T6_Sprint_WWE_1.16.651.4.zip

The command prompt output will show you details as it flashes each partition and will show you when it has completed. At this time the green bar on the phone will appear 99% of the way across the screen.. Completely normal!~ Issue the next command to kick it out of RUU mode or optionally flash the custom recovery TWRP if you intend to root/flash custom roms and THEN issue the below command to get out of RUU mode.

fastboot reboot

(note) if you just want to reboot back to bootloader you can issue the command fastboot reboot-bootloader This will allow you to boot directly to recovery and start flashing/rooting fun.

I don't own this model phone... so if someone would like to capture the output of the command prompt I would be happy to add it to the OP similar to how I have my VZW ruu threads.

[HTC One Max] dottat:
Not a problem. Also, under my android file host I have a mini sdk zip. You try using that on your pc too...it's a newer version of Fastboot/adb. All you have to do is unzip it and use it from wherever you unzip it to.
[HTC One Max] martinoj2009:
So I did this, no errors, but when I rebooted it went right into Cyanogenmod. Am I missing a step?
[HTC One Max] dottat:
How long did it take to run the zip?
[HTC One Max] martinoj2009:
It takes a while ~5mins, it loads the file, then checks the signature, and then says ROM parsing start (for 5 seconds) and then tells me to press the power button to reboot.
[HTC One Max] dottat:
You have to do it twice if the first time is short. Sometimes it can only update certain files first.

You are s off right?
[HTC One Max] martinoj2009:
Lol, shhhh, forgot to S-Off :)
[HTC One Max] dottat:
OK... so if you aren't S-off AND this firmware is older than what you have it will fail. Only S-off can downgrade. You guys don't have a newer RUU yet and there were two OTAs after this one. Definitely S-off that thing while you still can (assuming it's not too late).

I have developer edition device and have ruu for it to stock jellyben

But I found that I can't flash the ruu to go back to jellyben from sense 6 firmware and the error was the same as mentioned above in other comments .. android info fail too many links

And after a lot of trials, I found that the rug is fine not damaged so I flashed the firmware if sense 5.5 and then tried the ruu again and it works perfect

So from my point , I think that older jb ruus can't be flashed if u have sense 6 firmware

So only I need tho flash firmware zip of sense 5.5 not the whole system the try the ruu again although both sense 6 and sense 5.5 have hboot 2.49 but I think that the one that came with sense 6 have some modifications

Also I tried to flash from sd card but no go so the only solution is flashing hboot of sense 5.5

Maybe it's the same with Sprint devices but I think that it will be the same
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Either way....without being s off you can't downgrade firmware anyways. On my vzw rezound, m7, m8, and t6 I can simply flash ruus up or down all day long.
[HTC One Max] mido.fayad:
Yes I know that I should be s-off

And that's why I said I should downgrade first to sense 5.5 firmware then flash the ruu

And I won't be able to downgrade without s-off

So I was writing only about the error when I already have a-off because it took me 2 days till I found this fix after many trials

please help me a little i have the knowledge to do it i just need a direction thx in advance
[HTC One Max] dottat:
IF sunshine doesn't work on your current rom (have you tried running it yet).... you need to unlock your bootloader and flash a 100% stock older rom. Then use that to s-off. Then flash whatever rom you want and sim unlock.
[Networking] DogsiWoo:
Which networks have their GPRS unrestricted? I'm currently on o2 and want to get my e-mail (Home e-mail server) on the move but o2 only allow you to access your o2 email address items. I moved from Virgin due to my parents complaining they could never get hold of me. I'm thinking of Orange because they have a similar choice to o2 of free texts when you top up, but am wondering is their GPRS unrestricted? Could I access my email on it?

Thanks,

Karl :)
[Networking] TheBrit:
You will need to use the Orange server for your outgoing email but you can download from any mail server - I know because that's what I do.
[Networking] DogsiWoo:
Thanks for your input TB. Am I right in thinking Orange's GPRS charge is £3/MB? I believe o2 is £2.35, but they do not allow access to other email servers except their own? Or am I wrong there and have been mislead by the internet?
[Networking] TheBrit:
I did have a tarriff of £1 per MB but I have switched to unlimited evening/weekend data for £5 per month.

The mail server thing at O2 seems to be a real pain. It's reasonable for them to expect you to use their outgoing server but on an unfettered internet connection, just about ANY incoming mail server should be fine, as is the case with Orange.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuulcars:
So my galaxy s5 has been working great for the past month or so that I've owned it. I have rooted it and done some adjustments with the xposed installer, but I haven't flashed any custom roms yet or anything. So then today out of nowhere, this little stripe appears on my screen:

So that's annoying. I took a screenshot on my phone and then moved it to see if it was the actual screen or just the picture being displayed on it. However, the screenshot shows no black stripe when zoomed and moved around so that the would be screenshotted black stripe wouldn't be on top of the actual black stripe. Then I restarted my phone, still there. I booted into recovery mode to see if it still happened when not opening the actual normal use, it was still there. Then finally I tried pulling out the battery and putting it back in, still there. I'm a little frustrated and a bit scared that I've already voided my warranty by rooting it and disabling knox. Also, the line turns sort of white when against a dark background and goes away when the screen is off. It's not the worst obstruction in the world, but the phone is less than a month old, so obviously I want it to be perfect. Any help that can be offered is appreciated.

I'm on verizon if that makes any difference.

Edit: I haven't dropped it, exposed it to heat or magnets or anything of the sort
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
It's unfortunate that you didn't post a full size, full resolution image. We can't make out any fine detail in your reduced resolution image. It would also have been good to know if the band is invariant in size as you make screen adjustments or display primary colours on screen. Or if it shows up in downloaded photos?

We are of course seeking a pattern or otherwise trying to narrow down the potential causes. Since we don't have much to go on yet, we can only guess, it looks to be a hardware defect. But there isn't enough information to be certain.

It would still be useful to look for a pattern in whether the band varies at all with different colours and brightnesses on screen. You can also use the dialer code *#08# and display red only, blue only, white only, black only, etc screens to get a better sense of which pixels are apparently contributing to the band.

Also try backing up the phone (to save your user files or installed apps), then revert to 100% stock firmware temporarily, followed by a factory data reset. If the problem persists it is all but certain to be a hardware issue. Claim it under warranty then if you can.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyva1929:
Hi,

My device is on 4.4.4:

I did the following as root

mount -o bind /system/test /sdcard/test

As root user, command mount returns the following

/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /storage/sdcard0/test ext4 ro,seclabel,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

However, a normal user do not see the mount points being applied at all.

i.e. doing mount as a normal user does not return

/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /storage/sdcard0/test ext4 ro,seclabel,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

How to make it such that normal user would see the mount options executed by root?

Edited:

I used an app called Folder Mount (requires root)

doing mount it returns the following for both normal user and root user:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0/UCDownloads/cache/com.UCMobile.intl/httpCache ext4 ro,seclabel,noatime,nodiratime,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

So it looks like mounting with this app does propagate the mount options to also the normal user and not just root user. How do I achieve this?

Edited 2:

Another observation:

Running the exact same command

mount -o bind /system/test /sdcard/test

on another device (4.4.4) works. Now this looks like a device specific issue (but still, folder mount works on the original device). I would really appreciate it if someone know a little about what could possibly be the reason here and share it here.

Thank you.
