finger placement

hi guys try changing your finger placement for the SP02 and heart rate sensor to work. My sensors will only work with fingers placed as illustrated. The image on the left is placement for heart rate and the image on the right is for the Spo2. Hope this helps .
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
It's more to do with the right amount of pressure than the exact spot it seems. I find that the weight of the phone on your finger tip is the perfect amount of pressure for the sensor. I can get a reading every time without any issues.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStudent:
Hi there,

I'm having trouble rooting my phone. I've tried at least 3 different methods, I've always ensured I've had USB debugging enabled etc., but when (for example) Odin says that "Pass", my rebooted phone displays a message from Samsung's security policy claiming that there was unauthorised access attempted to protected sectors of my phone (or something like that).

Is this a well-known issue and is there a solution?

Thanks for reading :)

Same Issue

I'm Also Facing the Same Dust Issue. But I Found a Solution to it (Kind Of Temporary)

You Can Open the Plastic Cover By Using A Sharp Plastic Tool.

It is Hold onto Place by Clips,Now Remove That Back Cover.

You Find Another Cover Below it. There About 10-12 Philips head (2.0) Screw. (not Sure How many Screws are present. Didn't Count :P)

Just Unscrew it. Clean the Lens By using Anti-Fiber Cloth

Or using Ear Cleaning Buds With Isopropyl Alcohol.

TADA ! The Dust Is Gone Temporarily.

PS: Try not To Scratch The Screws. Just In case it Goes For Service ;)
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] chauhanjayc:
thanks buddy

trying now

Done

there were 13 Screw

Thanks Again buddy

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] VampiruX:
Hi All,

I just got a new Hermes (Qtek 9600/ SFR 1605 here in France) and I found a big problem: the handset is plugged to the small USB jack and the power adaptor is also plugged on the same connector. (I didn’t look for that before because I have a S200 which have a 2.5mm jack for the handset).

So, I use Tomtom V6 and if I don’t plug the device on an external power adaptor, the battery has a lifetime of about 3 hours.

I need the handset because, here it is forbidden to phone when driving and I have a very noisy car which doesn’t permit the use of speakers.

I tried a Bluetooth handset, but it is seen as a hands free unit and if the phone sound is right with this unit, the Tomtom sound continue to go to the phone speaker.

I asked Qtek but I didn’t have any answer, I asked SFR but they told me “it was not their problem”.

Does someone have a solution or an idea to bypass this trouble ? (For me it is a design fault).

Thank you very much.

[ONE General] gsmyth:
From reading reviews and feedback from users it would seem that the Oneplus One would meet your needs. I previously had the S4, moved to the HTC One M8 last month and have been considering the OPO. The M8 is a great phone with arguably the best design/build quality out there at the moment. Things which tempt me are the price, great value for money, the 64GB storage space. My M8 is 16GB which isnt great when you only have access to around 9GB, I have an sd card but you cant install apps directly to it. The fact it runs stock/custom stock android and is so easy to root/unlock/flash etc. The extra RAM and bigger battery are also advantages.

Check the below threads for further relevant discussions and have a search for anything more specific:

Thanks i'll check this out.

But the One is powerfull more then G3 or S5?
[ONE General] gsmyth:
In terms of processors they all run the Snapdragon 801 with the Adreno 330 GPU, so on paper are evenly matched, with the One also have 3GB of RAM along with the G3 (depending on model) whereas the S5 has 2GB. In the real life scenario you could say that the One has more resources to play with as its running a much leaner version of android (ie not skinned/minus bloat). The power of each device would probably be based on your own usage and expectations of 'power'. Theres plenty of videos on youtube showing side by side comparisons/benchmarks etc that are also worth a look.
[ONE General] nikzDHD:
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/OnePlus-One,Samsung-Galaxy-S5,LG-G3/phones/8603,8202,8347

All run SD801, CPU wise not an issue. OPO has 3GB ram vs 2GB on the others (G3 depending what model you get) OPO & S5 run 1080p screens with the G3 housing a 2K screen etc etc. They are all evenly matched, name your price choose your device.
[ONE General] Ozonep:
After using OPO for 2 months, the only 2 phones I see as it's replacement now are:

1) Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Better processor, better screen, better camera. Almost the same size. Forget about Galaxy S5 :) But Touchwiz.... Yuk! Hate it.

2) Sony Xperia Z3. Best camera on Android (only iPhone 6 camera is better), very good battery life. And good user inteface, better than Touchwiz.
[ONE General] ozal5:
So far i can see clearly that the OPO is better,is had the same proccesor and better battery it's look like i'll choose the OPO,because if the OPO better then the S5 isn't reason to pay more (only the IPS67 is a good reason but not enough).

Thanks alot :),

i asked in another fourm im my country and people told me to buy S5 but i trust this fourm more.
[ONE General] GTCC:
The build quality on the M8 isn't that good, speaker grills loose and not aligned, volume button loose, htc letters falling off and it marks really easy although mine was unmarked but all my phones are the same.

[ONE General] Ozonep:
http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/C...peria-Z3-LG-G3-Galaxy-S5-Galaxy-Note-3_id3822

You have something to say? :) I haven't read ANY review where Xperia Z3 camera was concluded to be better than iPhone's camera. Or you're just Apple hater?
[ONE General] GTCC:
Funny, you say that the Z3 is the best android phone camera and then you link a video that shows that it's anything but the best android camera, so which is it?

The reason for my post quoting you was because you said that the iPhone 6 camera was better than the Z3 camera but that is like saying that a Mercedes F1 car is better than a McLaren F1 car, yes it is but it is not like it had a lot to be better than.

I wonder why they didn't have a Nokia in that comparison in that test.

Anyway thanks for the laugh.
[ONE General] Ozonep:
Don't get me wrong, I love Z2/Z3 camera. I owned Z2 for 2 months, and it's camera was superb! What I mean is - OPO's camera produces VERY mediocre photos. For example - this shot was taken on Z2 without any editing.

http://s010.radikal.ru/i312/1410/42/a43d189886f7.jpg

OPO's camera doesn't produce such good colours (at least on CM ROM, I haven't tried ColorOS). So it's kinda stupid to recommend someone OPO, if he needs good camera. Xperia Z2/Z3 suit his needs much better, and Z2 is quite cheap now, because it's not flagship anymore.

Good luck making a decision.

Hey!

So, I've seen people who want their device to be more nexus, or even m8 like. The main difference between the devices, user interface wise, is the navigational buttons.

Most won't like using this, as it takes up valuable screen space, but I find it nice to have on-screen buttons and dislike having the hardware buttons (logo2menu is not my slice of pie)

So, first of all, you'll need a root explorer (which means you'll need root) I personally use ES File Explorer.

Navigate to /system and open build.prop in a text editor with root (ES Note Editor is included in ES File Explorer and has root access if you've given ES FE root)

Add this line, making sure to have a blank line afterwards (just as it was before you add this line)

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

Note: autocorrect likes to make that "hw" a "he"

Save the file and exit back to /system

Our device is awesome and has the physical buttons in its own keylayout file. Normally you'd have to search through hundreds of lines to do this, but we get to look at two.

Get to /system/use/keylayout/ and open synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl with a root text editor

Put a # behind both(/all if you have a custom kernel and want to disable logo2menu) lines

So, you'll go from

key 102 HOME
key 158 BACK

to

# key 102 HOME
# key 158 BACK

Save, exit, and reboot! Magic!

Some ROMs also have control of the button backlight (CM and PA have it under Buttons > Button Backlight) just set it to 0 seconds on the timeout.

I'm not aware of a way to disable the light on Google Play Edition Roms, although Sense ROMs (specifically Viper) usually have this control somewhere in their custom toolbox.

If anyone knows where this is in the system files, I'll be glad to add it in the OP

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CheriePie:
I posted the following message in Surge's Odin tars thread on Wednesday but haven't had any replies yet. Realize now it's probably better posted over here anyway, plus I have an additional question to add to my original post.

Hi all!

My Verizon Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 is currently running Stock TW 4.3 Jellybean on MK2 rooted (with saferoot).

I'd like to finally bring it up to Kit Kat. My original plan, once I had a full day available to do this in case anything went wrong, was to simply unfreeze system apps and SDM, take the OTA, and then towelroot. Unfortunately, by the time I got this available day, Verizon's now pushing that pesky NG6 update which sounds like nothing but problems. So I'm looking for my easiest upgrade path to Kit Kat without having to wipe my phone unless absolutely necessary.

Option 1)

Since I never took the NC5 OTA and am still on 4.3 Jellybean MK2, will the OTA update that Verizon is now notifying me about (since I unfroze SDM) include only the NC5 update initially? Perhaps with the troublesome NG6 in a later second update I can easily decline? Or will it go right to NG6 with this 18 minute update that my phone is now notifying me about? Is there any way to tell before I actually install it? Perhaps download only and then look at the update file manually to verify which it is?

If it's indeed only NC5 for this update, then I could OTA to NC5, towelroot, and turn updates back off again, thereby preventing myself from reaching NG6. As I said, this is the route I was planning to take until news of the NG6 update rolled around.

Option 2)

Take Surge's no-wipe file from this thread and apply it through ODIN directly over my MK2 with Android 4.3, apply towelroot, and then freeze SDM again.

If I go this route, are there additional files I need to install after the no-wipe, such as the wifix-fix or SELinux-Permissive mode flashes I've read about? Will the no-wipe file update the bootloader to NC5, or leave it at MK2?

Option 3) <-- this is the new option I added to my considerations

Download the NC5 firmware update from SamMobile and follow the instructions here to update to NC5.

Like I asked above, would this be the equivalent of taking the NC5 OTA upgrade (had I done so before NG6 came out)? Is there any additional radios or anything that I need to install after? The instructions I linked above don't seem to indicate this to be the case.

Basically I'm looking for the smoothest upgrade path to get me to Kit Kat and Samsung's stock TW ROM (from Android 4.3 MK2). Whether I stay with MK2 bootloader or move to NC5 doesn't matter much to me at this point, so long as I can re-root and get back up fairly quickly without needing to reinstall everything. What do y'all suggest?

Thanks in advance for any advice, gotchas, and pointers in the right direction before I head down this road.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crazy Bob:
do not ota if your on Verizon

If your on Verizon be careful, if you like jelly bean stick with it verizons kit kat is buggy for most users, what ever you do DO NOT TAKE OTA unless you want ng6 if you need selinux permissive do not update to ng6 , I msde the mistake of ota ng6 and it really messed up my phone even changing screens to do odin full wipe if I press any buttons to bring up the custom load screen the update failed I had to just let it boot to a screen that said connect to kies and do an emergency repair how ever once I figured that out the pit and tar from this thread worked fine in 4 easy steps. ...but beware once again verizon and kit kat are buggy and ng6 us even worse. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CheriePie:
Thanks for your reply.

Hubby's running Kit Kat NC5 on his S4 and hasn't had any problems with it. I actually kind of like some of the additional things it adds and am beginning to feel a bit left behind still running Jellybean.

I just don't want to have to wipe my phone to get there as I haven't got the time or patience to go through reconfiguring everything how I like it.

Do you know what's the difference between the options 2 and 3 I posted, i.e. using the tars posted by Surge in this thread vs the tars from SamMobile?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crazy Bob:
reply

Before I flashed my phone I also looked at your option 3 but after 4 hours of sleep in 48 hrs I went with surges option as his instructions were very simple and clear and were relevant to odin 3.09 and his option worked just as well as my original factory ota both have the same bugs on my phone so my opinion is it is a good file. Im not qualified to be able to give you an answer as to the differences between surges files and sam mobile files but I suspect they are the same. As far as kit kat and verizons bugs I have 4 galaxy s4's all bought on the same day and all the same but 3 are buggy and 1 runs perfect. If you dont need selinux the ng6 is easy to root and does and some new features and benefits BUT dont take the ota yet cause it has some serious issues Samsung says Verizon corrupted it and Verizon says "what problem its a third party app" but a new update should be just a few weeks away , this is all I've gotten out of about a million posts on more sites than I can remember, hope it helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Sammobile gets the Odin tars the same way I do. They are the same files, although last I checked sammobile doesn't retrieve the full wipe Odin tars (Factory Odin tar) so theres that I guess. Use whichever you feel comfortable with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CheriePie:
Thanks Bob & Surge!

I'm going IN! Kit Kat HERE I COME! LOL :)

Thanks again for the confirmations and reassurances. On the off-chance that I have issues and have to do a full wipe, I've got an semi-open day tomorrow... nothing I can't put off for a day if I need to spend extra hours getting my phone back where I want it. Just trying to avoid that if possible. :)

PS going in with Surge's no-wipe tars.

I was able to successfully downgrade from NG6 to NC5 but after reboot and the phone started there were android processes that kept popping up saying they weren't responding.

Error box stating Unfortunately, the process com.andoid.systemui has stopped (click ok)

Error box stating Unfortunately, the process andoid.process.media has stopped (click ok)
