[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oliverpuczyk2:
Because of where i work i had to remove the cameras from my shiny new droid maxx. Front camera completely removed rear drilled out and filled with jb weld. My question is there a way i can still use the camera led as a flash light none of the play store apps seem to have a work around since my cameras are missing.

Phone is stock and unrooted
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayze:
Take a look at the F-Droid repository. There are a few flashlight apps there that might not be on the play store which could work for you.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mushbert:
I have tried several, but would recommend one of these three:

Motorola Droidlight - First party, so it shouldn't need root. Ugly app. Works.

j4velin Notification Toggle - Puts a toolbar into your notification tray. Mine toggles rotation lock, flashlight, music, mobile data, and reboot. Some features may need root.

farproc Powerful Control - Puts widgets on your homescreen. Lots of settings for size/colour/choice of buttons. You can set how long the light stays on. I use a 1x1 toggle button on my main screen.

[edit: Wait, why did you "drill out" the back camera? It unplugs from the mainboard just like the front one. :) ]
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oliverpuczyk2:
Thanks both of you but neither one of your options work. I think it's because they all need camera permission
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmaclax013:
So to make a long story short I recently broke the back facing camera on my Note 3. The Lens is cracked and obviously pictures are extremely distorted and purple in color and such. Knowing my usual DIY nature I figured it would cost me about 20 bucks to get buy a new camera and install it myself... Not exactly the case. At this point I have had 2 different replacement cameras and installed them both correctly. Both cameras have resulted in the error message "Warning: Camera Failed" and clearing the Camera data and cache have not helped. Neither has factory resetting the device. I also know it is not a hardware problem because when I reconnect the original camera it opens no problem.

I was wondering if anyone else had this issue or has similar experience or if anyone knows if I can try another replacement camera? Any help is much appreciated because at this point I am out of ideas

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmaclax013:
Basically i got into an argument on the phone and I slammed the phone on the desk I was at. Hoping to avoid a screen crack I slammed it on the back(With a case on) and the next time i opened the camera it was destroyed :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donc113:
Well, you say you replaced them correctly so the obvious conclusion is the hardware is different.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmaclax013:

[XDA Assist] screece:
Hey guys,

like I said in the headline i got a huge sound problem with my HTC. Since 6 month the phone don´t want to play any kind of sound. It doesn´t matter if you want to play music, watch a video, to do a phonecall...nothing will work. The mic is broke too. So in my mind it is a software problem because a few month ago the sound worked sometimes. After I did a factory reset, everything was working but just for a few hours.

It is not just the sound...the phone can´t get any HSDPA connection. EDGE is the maximum...don´t know if there is any context.

Until now I tried a lot of things like factory reset, flashing a new rom, a new radio but nothing worked for me. (I attached my actual setup)

Anyone an idea what causes this issue? I am helpful for every answer.

best regards

Check out this article on SamMobile!

http://www.sammobile.com/2014/09/18/samsung-galaxy-s5-and-galaxy-note-4-might-get-android-l-in-novemberdecember/

This is with out doubt wishful thinking for us AT&T customers.

Knowing AT&T though I would say February 2015...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] greysonofusa:
Actually, Lollipop is proving harder to crack for root access than our phones very own bootloader. I hate to say this but rooted users may be behind stock for the first time ever in just a few short months.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
As long as I still have root, I'll be OK staying on KitKat. I'm not going to assume Lollipop will be rooted until it happens. They're making these phones and operating systems harder and harder to root, until one day there will only be development phones which will have root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] linuxboxsolution:
If this was the mindset of of programmers and hackers there would never be a rooted phone. It doesn't matter how hard android tries to stop it there will always be a way found to get around it plain and simple. It's why the security industry is making billions every year. There is not a single device on the planet that is fully capable of being 100% secure. And there never will be a device made like this as long as humans continue to make the devices. Artificial Intelligence may be able to do it one day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] deepen915:
Exclusive video: final Lollipop firmware on the S5!

Looks nice to me! I hope Samsung can update the status bar icons a bit like stock Google. . I hate that out of place Wi-Fi icon.. The Nexus style looks awesome.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jordant2:
I don't disagree with you, but users are starting to steer clear of devices that are difficult to root. Just look at the at&t note 4. Not even a hint of root and very little developer interest. People would rather just get the t-mobile version. Samsung and at&t seem to be a bad combination for people who want to root and ROM moving forward. Unless we get a developer edition like Verizon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
No porting is going to happen for att we need boot.img and bootloader I have already tried this and no way to boot without them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rachelm920:
I'm honestly looking forward to getting rid of my S5. It's a nice phone, but I love the pure google feel like my Nexus 7 has. I'll be upgrading to a Nexus 6 soon. The touchwiz is just ugly, and I certainly don't want a bloated unrootable version of lollipop. The development for this phone is dead, no updates for months now. I'm a flashaholic so I'm absolutely bored out of my mind. If it wasn't for the messed up proximity sensor on the S4 I have I'd probably be using that and flashing like crazy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DKaine:
When I spoke to an AT&T rep yesterday, they were saying that AT&T has Lollipop and they are modifying it for our devices, with a tentative release date of Feb 2015...

We'll see how much that holds water.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Disabling_Knox:
I would be shocked if Lollipop could push anything that'd make me risk giving up just a rooted KK.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jae2014:
I completely agree with your statement. Honestly, I really am considering selling my S5 and getting something else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] malickie:
I am honestly thinking about jumping ship from at&t all together and going to t-mobile as they don't have bootloaders locked down on their devices yet, plus I think their data plans and what not are better than at&t's current plans. The only issue I have with t-mobile is they don't have quite the selection of Android devices available that at&t does.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Unhived__Mind:
T-Mobile should be called T - never have signal!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] darthmalus:
Symbian was the most secure mobile phone OS. I do not know why nokia ditched it in favor of windows phone and meego, Symbian still had so much potential.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jordant2:
I actually never used symbian. Some how samsung keeps sucking me in with the next phone or watch so I've given up root for now. I'm using the note edge just to try something different and it is pretty complete with out root. But the developers always make samsung ROMs smoother.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nucleartx:

Att better step their game...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
I just need a phone that I can run my rooted apps on. I could care less about lollipop. At&t probably has patched the holes, and will make lollipop, at least temporarily unrootable.

There is always this mass anticipation for updates, then people are disappointed, again, as always. Updates are overrated.

4.4.4

This is what they told me.

Yep same here. Up to date it says and I'm on 4.4.2

Edit .. manual advanced date twice now got it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] deepen915:
So Recent Apps tweaked. Not feeling this at all. HD VoLTE added though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] deepen915:
You would think they would at least give us the Note 4 app switcher
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CAG-man:
This is the update before the update. Att is taking a little longer it appears. Verizon updated their phones to 4.4.4 and then to 5.0 on the same day. Users reported 2 updates...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] QuillOmega0:
And I'd believe that if they didn't have added so much bloatware. Mark my words, we won't be seeing 5.0 on our phones for another 4/6 months
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CAG-man:
Verizon has had the same amount of time to add bloat. They usually add more bloat than ATT not to mention are usually last at releasing upgrades not first. Furthermore adding bloat takes mere seconds. Put the apk in system/apps and the libraries (if any) in with the other libraries.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cybershawngates:
Sprint just got there's today. I'm betting att isn't far behind
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] graewulf1:
Since at&t just rolled out 4.4.4 I doubt it's coming any time soon. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] aabaaf:
Keep in mind that VERIZON upgraded to 4.4.4, then right after was another update to 5.0. As has been noted elsewhere Verizon 5.0 users have been having lots of issues. So as noted in another thread, where a user updated to 4.4.4, it said there was another update, but then it vanished, AT&T most likely was doing the same thing, but then noticed issues with their 5.0 update so pulled it and are currently working on it. No official confirmation on this, but since Sprint also recently upgrade their's to 5.0, it seems to be the only logical explanation. Also I contacted AT&T chat this past Saturday, and they said that they are working on 5.0 to make sure their are no issues, which in effect says that same thing, but at that time had now ETA for deployment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ThuGzta:
I have an unlocked AT&T device, stock, not rooted, its not tampered in any way, I am not in the US.

I also am running some other sim. Will I still get the update? I keep checking for the update but it says I am upto date (4.4.2)

And then I have to wait 24 hours to check again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jpcdeux:
Probably not as its not att service. The latest is 4.4.4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] C0derbear:
If I were you I'd go grab the OTA zip file (from the rooting 4.4.4 thread, see note 4), and use ODIN to push the OTA over.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ThuGzta:
Alright. So I'll just get the 4.4.4 update by flashing that file from Odin? I don't want root or anything to complicated. Just want the update. And once I do get it to 4.4.4 will my OTA work? In case we get lollipop? Would be great help if I can get this confusion removed. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] woooh77:
Update (4.4.4) stopped

Just talked to a AT&T rep. Was told that 4.4.4 update was stopped because it had issues and that AT&T is working with Samsung to sort it out. Also that they want to release lollipop fast because "another carrier" released it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ThuGzta:
So maybe thats why my phone isn't updating? Or do I have to go the ODIN way?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] woooh77:
Since 4.4.4 has bugs, it's best to wait for a week or so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] deepen915:
Probably the home button Google Now glitch and some lag in the app drawer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] malickie:
Yea that Home Button Google Now Glitch is annoying as all Hell. I went to 4.4.4 and well yea it just sucks with the Google Now Glitch, Every time pretty much when I press home button (Not Long Pressing Home Button) it pops up stupid Google Now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] coolguytoo:
I'm having the same issues w/ the Google now popping up with a quick press of the home button but I've also noticed quicker battery drain and I am unable to switch back to ART runtime after the update. I chatted w/ an AT&T rep and they recommended doing a factory reboot then reinstalling the update. BUT he did say that AT&T should be releasing 5.0 sometime this month (February). See below.

Abi Sampras: The problems you have described are indeed known issue direclty related to the latest samsung android software update causing users devices to malfunction with battery life, connectivity, and the internal update processor. I will provide the details that SAMSUNg suggests to resolve this

Abi Sampras: The suggested method SAMSUNG provides to resolve this is to first backup all of your content data on samsung kies to your PC. I will provide the site link for the free download if you dont have it. Once you have backed up your data, you would then perform a master factory reset on the device, to undo the software malfunction and restore the phones ititial settings. This will certainly resolve the issues you have described, however it is imperative to back up the device first as this will

Abi Sampras: restore the phone initial settings

Coolguytoo: and downgrade me back to 4.4.2?

Abi Sampras: You can reinstall the latest update

Coolguytoo: Do you know or have an approx timeframe when AT&T will be releasing 5.0 or higher Lollipop? Another update may resolve my issues as well.

Abi Sampras: Its just advisable to undo the software update first, as there was a malfunction during the update that is causing your issues

Abi Sampras: To answer that question on the 5.0

Abi Sampras: As of now we havent received a specific date as to when it will be approved for the device by AT&T, however it is scheduled to be in Febuary

Abi Sampras: Which we are in now

Abi Sampras: THis could be any day before the end of the month

This month....NICE!

Okay so I have a AT&T Galaxy S5 SM-G900A

SW-VER: G900AUCU2ANG3

It is currently rooted, I have Towelroot, busy box ,Safestrap, SuperSu, Region Lock Away, and Xposed installed.

I have uninstalled all bloat ware and on the stock rom.

Is it safe to install the update without loosing root with all the rooted functions and without loosing data?

The update is 487.15MB's Not sure if this is Lollipop or not.

Should i just cancel the update and wait to install?

EDIT:

Okay so I cant install the OTA update.

I did some reading and it looks like [How-To] Root G900AUCU2AOA1 4.4.4 (2/3/2015) Alternative Method for Safestrap Users is they way i am going.

This is why Carriers should get out of the update business and leave it to Samsung or Google! There is never a perfect carrier customized software!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] C0derbear:
Corrected. ;^)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] malickie:
Gotta agree 100% with that sentiment. Carriers should have no bearing over updates considering the manufacturer has a better idea of how the device should operate than a carrier ever will. I mean hell who was the one who made the device, last I checked it wasn't AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] deepen915:
Truth!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] graewulf1:
At the same time who do they think they are denying us root? If your pc did that, you'd be pissed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] C0derbear:
While a technophile and nerd myself I can see a huge benefit for hardware and service providers having made it challenging to get root control of the devices. Too many people bricking things and blaming the vendors instead of owning up to their own foolishness.

With the hoops that are required it creates a situation where it becomes painfully clear that the individual is at fault, and not the vendor.

So, don't blame the vendors, blame the self centered and irresponsible, and the malicious.

Sent from the aether.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] graewulf1:
Sorry to disagree, but I blame the vendors. Gaining root access should be as simple as checking a box and agreeing that you have now voided your software (not hardware) warranty. I should not have to risk bricking my device just to gain administrative privileges to a device that I already own. This would be like denying you administrative access to your brand new pc at home. It's no different. Dell still supports the pc even though you have administrative (root) access to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] C0derbear:
If it was that easy to get root access, just as on windows, there would be as many devices screwed up by the users, just as on windows.

i'll agree to disagree.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gnex0422:
Very true....this way keeps it somewhat managable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] malickie:
In all honesty, if they had a Big Giant Warning window pop up on the phone that Said doing this will VOID your Warranty on said device scroll down to accept. That would be a complete non issue because no one would be able to claim ignorance at that point.

It would be one thing if all carriers where equal and locked bootloaders down but they don't. I mean if it was as bad as you are all making it out to be T-Mobile phones would be locked down just as hard but they don't locked down any of their devices. Same goes with HTC, they kinda ignore AT&T and allow people to go to their website and unlock their device if they want to but there is a warning there that if I recall says something about voiding your warranty.

Tablet Type = HKC (NOT HTC) p776a

ANDROID Version I think (98% shure) is 4.1.1 beta JB

What happened = A few years ago 2013 i think a got this tablet then i learned about rooting, roms, and such so i spent the next year or two trying to root the tablet. I finally got it rooted with a chinese root program and all was well (i don't remember the name of the program) then there was a update for su and i pressed the twrp/cwm mode on accident (I think I was talking to someone at the time) and now it does what is shown in the image 1 it is on some boot loop. When I try to access the hboot menu it does what is shown in these images 2&3. Also my tablet has a MicroSD card slot and the battery can not be taken out. the regular bootloop picture is image file 1 that is what it looks like when it does its continuous bootloop and P.S. the tablet turns off and on automatically during the bootloop. To try and fix it i have let it do its bootloop for hours on end turn it on and off tried looking for a compatible rom (to no avail) and let the battery completely die that is about it.
