The .133 version is only for Branded phones (Vodafone, t-mobile and etc.). The lastest unbranded version is .108, so you should get that.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Kayden96:
I've been using nova launcher for months and finally uninstalled the stock S launcher. Today, I went to put my phone into ultra power saving mode and now I cannot exit it. If I get a notification, I can switch to that app and get into system settings, but I cannot exit ultra power saving mode. Without a notification, I can't even turn the screen off. The home button does nothing (no launcher) and the UPSM toggle is missing from the notification window.

So, my question is- does anyone have the stock APK for the Samsung launcher -OR- know an ADB command or some other way to get out of UPSM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
You didn't say whether you looked at the

full

quick settings palette or just the selected tiles subset? You should find the power saving tile on the full palette. Also does the phone exit UPSM when you fully charge the phone battery?

If that doesn't work, then just download the firmware for your phone and you can extract the stock launcher with winrar.

.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Kayden96:
There are no settings tiles. After I get a notification, I can pull down the notification screen (not before) and hit the gear to get the settings page. In there, there's only wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode, mobile networks, location, sound, and brightness. There's no way to get rid of UPSM.

Fully charging it didn't work. Fully discharging it didn't work. Wiping cache and dalvik didn't work.

Can you provide a link to the file in question? I'm not entirely clear on your terminology. I thought the firmware was just for the radio and such while the rom had the program files?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
Have you rebooted? Usually does it for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Kayden96:
I tried taking the battery out, restoring my SYSTEM backup from a few months ago, upgrading to a newer version of the stock rom, and nothing works.

Everything I've tried ends up with the phone going back into UPSM with no way to leave it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
If you are using TWRP there is a file manager under advanced. Use that to navigate to the /system/app directory and rename "Emergency" apk to have .back appended to the end after the .apk. This will "hide" it from the system and should disable it. Btw the name of the apk has Emergency in it i don't recall the exact name of it though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
No we can't. And the reason that we can't is that you didn't provide any details about your phone. The firmware is different for every model of S5 and carrier. We don't know if you have a 900T, 900F, 900A or some other S5 version. We can't see your phone and can do little unless you provide extensive details.

Simply go to a firmware site like sammobile, click on firmware and enter the model number of your phone. Or do a search of this forum. Then use the Odin program to write that firmware (factory software) to your phone.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mtown_cyclone:
I'm having the same issue on a Verizon S5. Under /system in twrp I don't see anything. Tried chmod but didn't help. Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] pglopez123@gmail.com:
Apps Drawer

Same thing happened to me. Mine was stuck in between normal and Ultra. I was able to go to my apps drawer, clicked on the gear/settings, found Power then disabled Ultra Power Saving mode there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] jjkim5:
I had same issue and I SOLVED it.

No disable option in the notification drawer. Gear 'setting' option (in the notification drawer) only display few setting options (no disable ultra saving mode).

I solve the issue by holding down the HOME button to trigger Google NOW app. In the search bar of Google NOW app, I clicked the microphone button and said "OPEN SETTINGS". This will open the full version of setting window. If you scroll down, you will see the 'POWER SAVING MODE', click it and you will see the disable "ULTRA POWER SAVING MODE" option.

It's a unusual way but it worked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] thug_life_inc:
I also faced the same issue while running Action Launcher 3. Google Now wasn't working for me, so the way I solved it is:

- press and hold the menu button (capacitive button on the left) and select "Manage Apps"

- from the three dots on the top right corner select "Reset app preferences"

- reboot

- pressing the home button showed up "TouchWiz Home", which then allowed me to select "Disable Ultra Power Savings mode"

-done

HTH
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] billyx1:
I have they same problem with S5 LTE+ on Android 4.4.4. (I hate this ****ing bad Samsung Software!!!!) The above two posts unfortunatly don't work for me because Google Now is not working and Home Button does nothing.

I will try to launch settings due adb if I find a PC to do this (Unfortunatly I'm on holiday at the moment)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kussface:
Were you able to figure this out? Facing the same issue on my friends phone. Can't believe Samsung would takeover the phone like this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Kayden96:
Best I remember, it had something to do with disabling the stock launcher and I ended up reflashing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Strykes_Daniel:
thug_life_inc brought me to my personal solution. I had the problem with the Google Now Launcher. And there is the possibility to go to the app info by placing an app on the home screen, but not dropping it there, but above it (you know the area where you can access app info / delete the app).

That brought me to the settings page for the google app where i could delete the standard launching options.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kakinen:
I had very low battery (maybe 3 or 2%) and then i activated the ultra power saving mode. After a while, the phone battery died, so I recharged it. The problem now is that I got stucked in UPSM. Everything is black and white, I have no acces at any of my apps and the settings is incomplete, I mean I don`t find the "disable UPSM" function. I also cannot factory reset the phone, same reason, I only have acces to wi-fi, bluetooth, volume, brightness and location.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] VK3Photographix:
Thank you!!!!

Thank you! It worked for me!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] thaisteve:
I tried multiple methods include using microphone to trigger Google Now but still nothing in Settings. The idea is trigger the Launcher Picker. here are some notes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] parislawrence:
Wish I new this sooner, wasted a whole day figuring it out. This fix is way easier

The easy fix - just open the app drawer, drag the google app to app info and drop, clear defaults , when prompted choose you service providers origional default launcher
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Grom51:
That is not possible .. in UPSM there is no app drawer or any apps settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] parislawrence:
If your phone is experiencing the launcher glitch, it cant get back to the upsm menu when pressing the home button, instead it gives you an actual home with an app drawer at the bottom, app info only appears when you hold down on an app in the drawer. If you dont use your stock launcher stay away from upsm for now, Google Now apparently does not support this feature. I have another fix that should work without an app drawer, just use your browser to download a launcher apk(i grabbed nova) then run it, you should be prompted to allow 3rd party apps, uncheck the just this once box, install and run. The next time you hit the home button it will ask you to choose a launcher, pick your service providers default, then upsm should be back to normal
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Grom51:
That is not possible, i am stock in ULTRA! with no app draw and black screen instead of launcher or icons. i use stock FW, stock launcher, no-root, so i cant to access browser of smg else. Only setting for set, wifi, gps, etc, no apps settings, i access only to phone call, or msg app. Nothing esle.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Grom51:
Helps only wipe data / apps -> factory reset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] parislawrence:
Could you post pictures or video of the various states of your phone? As well as the model and service provider
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] oppophoneuser:
OPPO Phone- i had the same problem- got stuck in super power saving mode and although i could add or remove apps, 'settings' was nowhere to be seen.

after half an hour of reading threads like this , I was adding /removing apps again when in the top left hand corner I noticed a red open box with a red arrow pointing left- when i clicked it amazingly my phone had gone back to normal and exited power saving mode!Praise God!
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Serotonin925:
Hi I am pretty new to this so please go easy on me,I've looked around and nothing matches my issue,I am curious as to how I could possibly find a way to flash my Mobicel tablet with a custom rom and how do I go about finding the closest possible alternative if my model isn't listed? Do I try with the similar cpu (MT8312) which is a 1.3Ghz dual core with 512mb ram that's been rooted(if that info helps I hope its sufficient for understanding my stupidity hopefully)my keypad is messed up while I type(not the tab a BB) I am a quick learner and any help would be greatly appreciated, if I missed any info then tell me what to do and I will do it right,Thank you in advance:)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alete89:
Hi, I'm looking for an app (I don't know if it exists, but I think it should) that stores the lasts things copied into clipboard and has an option to sticky some of them and after that, you can choose what to paste without accesing to the app itself, but in the place where you want to paste it. Something like "clipboard history" for windows.

Do you know any? I can't find anything usefull :s

Thanks!!!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] vessey632:
Hi folks, hoping someone else may have run into this.

I ran into some major issues with a rom install, so rolled back to a backup all the way back on 1.54.651.8. Now I've got constant crashing of anything and everything to do with Google apps. I'm getting a Google Services error, and all Google apps produce 'Unfortunately X has stopped' messages along with crash on launch for each app. Any ideas on a potential fix or way to start diagnosing the cause? It's making the phone basically unusable.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Closed per OP request.
[HTC Excalibur] Gibberish:
I recently acquired a Tmobile Dash. I do not have internet subscription from Tmobile. I have wifi at home and at work. I will very occasionally (like once a month) need to dial in to my (work) ISP to download my email if I am away from work (don't travel much). I can input my dial up information into the Dash but cannot find any info about how to initiate a connection with my ISP. Is this possible at all? If so, how? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] Gibberish:
Any thoughts?!
[HTC Excalibur] SecureGSM:
to initiate connection:

just try to open some webpage in IE or download mail in Pocket Outlook.

DASH will dial your default internet connection automatically if required.
[HTC Excalibur] emaij:
Has anyone been able to figure this out? I'm unable to dial up with dash.
[Moto G General] mohlsen8:
I searched but don't think anyone has posted this already, so sorry if this is already known. I have a Verizon Moto G on 4.3 - I was holding off on updates with the hope that someone would find a way to disable write access or some other magical exploit since this is my wifi toy anyway. Anyway, I've been playing around and figured out the code to successfully use Towelroot v3 for temp root. Open it, tap on "welcome to towelroot v3" a few times until the text box pops up, then change the numbers to:

1337 0 0 0 1 1

Maybe someone can confirm this works on Kitkat versions < 4.4.4. It'd be awesome if someone can get something like Towelpieroot working for us with this automatically running on reboot.
[Moto G General] Kaiyo Droid:
I'll give this a shot and report back. Have a VZW Moto G ON 4.4.4.

Edit: No luck here it seems. Once I input the numbers and tapped "Make It Rain", the app simply froze up with the prompt "TowelRoot is not reaponding" eventually poppinng after a moment or two. I could still navigate the Moto G just fine, but TowelRoot stays frozen. You can close it the normal way. I tried using both dalvik and ART. Ichecked for root by downloading SuperSU and opening it, but I'd get the message that no superuser binary is installed.
[Moto G General] mohlsen8:
Thanks for trying, but that would have been expected. This was patched in time for 4.4.4 to come out. I think there was an earlier KitKat version released for the Verizon Moto G though, right? Otherwise I guess this is just 4.3 then.
[Moto G General] Kaiyo Droid:
Still, I thank you very much for sharing this :)

Now I wish that there were some way for me to downgrade.
[Moto G General] jwildman16:
I'm on 4.4.2. Tried this method and the phone freezes and eventually just reboots. I bought mine a few months ago when Best Buy had them for $50 and it came with 4.4.2 already installed. :(
[Moto G General] ajaynes99:
It does not work on 4.4.4
[Moto G General] rjmohit:
Doesn't seem to be working on my G with 4.3? Are you doing something more than whats just posted? It says the device should be rooted, but no apps detect root. :/
[Moto G General] mohlsen8:
I don't remember at this point. There's one combination out there that should work for you. Really though, at this point as long as you're not on 4.4.4, you should be looking to unlock your bootloader with sunshine. Can vouch that it works perfectly.

http://theroot.ninja/
[Moto G General] rfrayer:
Unfortunately you cant use Sunshine without first being rooted and 4.4.4 as far as i know cant be temp rooted even with pie.
[Shield Tablet General] aamir123:
I've been reading the nvidia forums and I hear nothing but problems about this device, from updates breaking feature to weak Wi-Fi to cracked edges to chatting issues. It seems like a great device and a dream come true for my needs (stylus, gaming power, decent battery in normal use, console mode, quick update etc.) But the more I read those forums the more I doubt this device.

What is the consensus on XDA? Have you guys had any issues? How's Wi-Fi?
[Shield Tablet General] danomat1073:
Short answer - Yes.

Mine runs like a champ with no wifi issues at all. It has your typical brand new out of the box software compatability bugs that all new products have, but nothing that get in the way of it being a great product. Nothing even comes close as far as horsepower goes.

The only real problems I see is the cracking corner issues. I too have 1 very small hair line crack that I would have never noticed if others had not been talking about them. I toyed with the idea of an RMA and then figured why bother. Really, I can spend all that time and effort with RMA, get another one and have the same problem. The crack is unfortunate, but nothing that ruins the tablet. I love this little thing even with a tiny crack.
[Shield Tablet General] 3xeno:
I am not really feeling it. The worst part is I picked mine up from my short trip to the US, and there's no recourse for me here. I have not experienced cracked edges (But surprisingly, the bezel on mine is rough from around the centre of the screen for around 2-3 cms). The Wi-Fi where I am living is not spectacular, and coupled with the sub-par Wi-Fi on the tablet, I haven't been able to download one game on the tablet yet. Besides, there has been screen flickering which has recently cropped up (When on manual brightness. Toggling from Auto to manual seems to have removed it), and I am seeing lag in the menus with the CPU profile on Optimized.

I want to love my tablet, really, (More so since I am stuck with it.), but, I am getting a few pangs of buyers remorse. Undoubtedly, the Shield tab is a powerhouse, but, sincerely hoping that Nvidia fixes the software side of things, the sooner the better.
[Shield Tablet General] markymark567:
The screen flickering is just Prism and we will probably be be able to turn it off with future updates. An as for the lag, id bet my left nut that you have installed some app or combo of apps that is conflicting and slowing down the tab. I have my tab set with 2 cores, 50% CPU power and limit 30 fps. I see zero lag (and great battery life). Even half-life and trine play perfect. I have noticed that the WiFi can get a bit weaker wen holding the tab in portrait but its never enough to cause an issue. Grid works perfect even on a crap century link router.

Anyways I am loving this tablet (although, this is my second, first had display driver issue and was returned to nvidia) my only complaint is that the accessories are nowhere to be found.
[Shield Tablet General] rushless:
People not having wifi issues are apparently around strong wifi or used to poor wifi. Too many reports and acknowledgement by Nvidia not to be a global issue. The Best Buy units also have the weak wifi problem. 2.4 is poor and 5.0 is awful. Also signal bias depending on how the devices are held. "Classic" poor wifi antenna design.

Even the 32gb version is delayed from the early September release now. Coincidence perhaps, but fits the timing of the issue. Ditto on the cracks that show after a few days use.

Hopefully the issues get fixed, or sales will be impacted on an otherwise nice device. Best to return it and wait for proof of fixes if dislike the crack and wifi issues. Neither are going to be fixed with firmware.
[Shield Tablet General] Deltadroid:
I would bet that the Wi-Fi signal strength depends on which side of the device you hold on to.
[Shield Tablet General] MRobbo80:
Really ? I have zero issues great tablet ! Watch the reviews and go with your instincts. As for WiFi issues I opened mine last week connected to WiFi straight away there was a ota fixing a few issues with WiFi etc, Almost every new device has them as for the cracked corners? How do they treat the tablet, I dropped mine from quite a high distance and Did not even mark or dent scratch. The build itself feels solid, my only grumble is the bezzel has quite a sharp finish apart from that its amazing fast smooth great battery life great all round tablet. I would highly recommend! Don't listen to the horror storys.

Sent from my SHIELD Tablet
[Shield Tablet General] aznmode:
If you're a gamer get it. If you're just gonna get it for media consumption probably not worth it as you can just buy a cheaper device for that or you may already have a media consumption device. I think majority buy this tablet for streaming games from pc or grid and play k1 enhanced games. For me I like playing the k1 enhanced games and grid and also onlive and with the shield controller it's no fuzz. No need for remapping. And also some games that have some control support will have available maps downloaded when you play the game so you don't have to remap.

Wifi on mine is not as strong as my other devices: note 3, note 2014. I got a replacement and it's slightly better but screen is more yellow so the wifi on my original might be faulty. I also noticed before I did an OTA on the replacement, the wifi was even stronger. Or at least it was showing 36mbps connection vs 11mbps after in the same spot. Weird but I hope this wifi thing can be a software issue too.

Right is the replacement
[Shield Tablet General] wifesabitch:
I have zero interest in gaming, I just don't think there is a better 8" tablet available at any price.
[Shield Tablet General] aamir123:
That's exactly how I feel, of course it's a little compromise on the screen but everything else screams amazing. But these problems are getting me wary, I have one coming on from amazon on Wed so I guess I'll decide soon.
[Shield Tablet General] rushless:
If not a gamer, the new Samsung 8" seems better. Much better display, better battery life and much better wifi reception. Like the Shield, they are both constrained for storage due to the 11gb free on the devices. IMO, this size especially with Android L that take 20% more space seems tiny.
[Shield Tablet General] chispas117:
Wi Fi not great with mine but not so bad that I regret getting mine..I can't put mine down
[Shield Tablet General] aznmode:
Same but it's still honeymoon stage so time will tell.
[Shield Tablet General] Sj12345:
Good WiFi reception for me
[Shield Tablet General] rushless:
Wifi is relative to where you use it. If in a stronger area, even weak wifi reception is good.
[Shield Tablet General] MRobbo80:
Have no problem with WiFi great signal round the house and the bottom of my large garden.
[Shield Tablet General] MiRaCL:
If you're thinking about the Tab S 8.4 it has a better screen and battery life, but the performance is so so. UI lag and general lag in apps isn't so nice.

The Sheild has it's weak points but i can't think of any better tablet right now in this price range / size range.

I have the 16g version temporarily until my 32gb LTE version arrives. I can't understand why nvidia even made a 16gb model. With the kind of games you can play on this device, 16gb isn't nearly enough.
[Shield Tablet General] rushless:
I have a 32gb Note 2014. Was wanting to replace with the Shield 32gb but will now wait to see if the wifi is fixed on that version. Comparing the Note, Air and Shield 16gb clearly showed how weak the Shield wifi is. Either that or the Note and Air have super mega watt powered wifi. My guess it is the former.

Was hoping 16gb would work, but even if wifi was fine, would have returned anyway since prefer the extra internal storage. LTE though is a waste for me since I have Verizon.
[Shield Tablet General] MRobbo80:
WIFI Issue was fixed with a ota, my WiFi is better than my lg g2 nexus 7 2nd edt etc.....
[Shield Tablet General] Hudrator:
Come on guys, we are talking about an device available since beginning August in the Us and since two weeks in Europe.

There seem to be some batches who had problems. Nvidia answered really fast and supported people having Problems with cracking edges.

We had so many devices in the past having problems when been released. (And they were twice the price at an shield Tablet)

So lets get a look what we are getting for 300 bucks :

8 Inch FHD Display

k1 Prozessor.

Micro SD

Build in stylus ( Made out of metal, not some weird plastic thing)

Close to stock android

Good Haptic ( l know that is subjectiv )

The promise to receive Android L quiet fast

l think the package is one of the best in this price segment.
[Shield Tablet General] aznmode:
I would have to agree that it's the best tablet in its price segment.
[Shield Tablet General] subzero82:
Hello.I have diffrent question:buy 32bit version(4xA15) now or wait for 64bit version(x86 Denver) of proccesor?
[Shield Tablet General] rushless:
An OTA did not fix the issue, but good for you that you are fine. The device will need a redesign to truly fix it.
[Shield Tablet General] junkerde:
Is it worth it you ask?

I say, not right now.
[Shield Tablet General] MRobbo80:
What issues do you have ? Silly question I know but just curious.
[Shield Tablet General] rushless:
Weak wifi on 2.4 and awful with the 5.0. Even worse depending on how was held. That alone clearly points to antenna design that can not be fixed by firmware. The signal was poor compared to the Air, Note 2014, Toshiba 8", Dell V11, PS Vita, Nvidia Shield 1, 3DS and S4. All devices I still have.

If you are happy with the wifi, great. I was not, but will hope the 32gb model does not have the issue. More storage anyway.
