[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] KennyG123:
The only threads that need warnings are those for root and those for recovery. There has been no issue with the S4, S5 or Note 3 sections. Again without recovery nothing will flash and no harm can come to the phones. They are exactly the same devices, just bootloader unlocked. People desperate to root will try anything in spite of the warnings. As far as I have seen on previous devices attempts to install recovery will fail and worse that happened was they had to Odin in Stock tar. As I said, unlocked developers editions are not new. They have been in use for Sammy Verizon for almost 2 years with no need for a separate section. If anything the locked edition should be confined to General and Q&A. With so many variants of the same device people will always use the wrong thing. No amount of warnings has ever stopped that. Read through the Sprint S3 sections and find all the bricks caused by flashing international ROMs. Both sections have warnings posted clearly. So we really don't need "the sky is falling" kind of thing here. We just need people to read. The information is there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
Thanks KennyG123 for your response. I totally concur, reading and researching what you have and what you want to do is the first step for any user. I came to the Note 4 from the DE5 and thankfully when ROMs started to appear the developer or OPs did specify whether the ROM was for retail or DE users. I hope this will be true for the Note 4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] KennyG123:
Unfortunately this lock down of Verizon and AT&T devices has killed development since the S4. This is the other thing to think about... If someone does crack the bootloader or finds a root and SafeStrap like method, suddenly all the DE ROMs will be usable by all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Hilfey:
^^ This, thank you.

I don't post much here as I usually find my answers with a little searching, but I'm a daily lurker and have been since the days of OG droid. I strongly disagree with your statement. There has indeed been plenty of confusion in the Note 3 threads. Also a good little bit of drama and some anger over poorly marked threads. Yes, the threads should be more clearly marked "Developer Edition" by the OP, but it doesn't always happen. In the end, I think it just makes more work for you to moderate but that's your choice.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
Well, you'd think so, but (in the case of the S5 anyway) the number of ROMs available for the retail version out number the number available for the developer edition. You'd think that it would be the other way around. Most developers aren't releasing two versions, one for retail (SafeStrap) and one for DEs. As of last week anyway. Either way, development for the S5, either model, is pretty slim. And, the unified ROMs (AOSP) just don't seem to be ready for prime time. There is always something that just doesn't work right or not at all.

But I have faith. I hope the Note 4 will be blessed with a multitude of ROMs to accommodate a wide range of user wishes and desires...besides it's getting close to Christmas, gotta have faith, right?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] KennyG123:
That is because so few of the DE's were sold.

Adding more forums only adds to the risk of someone flashing the wrong thing. Better they see threads like this than assuming all Verizon variants are the same. There are many other variants that have no forums, US Cellular, Metro, Boost, some Chinese knock off... It is ludicrous to make a separate section for every one. Developers have usually been good about properly marking their work.

If people don't read the documentation then the only person at fault is themselves.

To those who have bought many the 30 day is well known . Don't have any issue with this. It's also voided the second that the phone is unlocked and rooted. i am buying the phone to void a warranty.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] heystek:
I 100% agree with this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] catbertz:
Preparing to buy DE myself and I completely agree with separate forum. Much cleaner, much less maintenance and potential headaches.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] azbobs:
Wow looks like Verizon & Samsung are rolling in the dough. Making everyone spend $713 for a 30 day warranty or for just a mere $129 more, now we are at $842 for what, so we can hopefully be able to root our phones.

This is crazy and I have missed flashing my rom since S3, have been flashing all my phones until possible now will see > thunderbolt > incredible Droid > 6800.

So believe me,the nerd within wants riot! I miss rooting very bad. These icons suck, cannot use my titanium, cannot make my sd writeable to install my apps on the 128gb sd card, hotspot is still not free like all the normal carriers do, my wife just will not let the unlimited data/text grandfathered from Altell to Verizon. I can change and go by myself to another carrier and lose the discount then, just not worth the fight.

Don't tell anyone, I did preorder the DE, is back ordered. My problem is I already activated this dam phone, so never tried selling a phone that is under a 2 yr contract with the sim already installed? Not sure how to go about this, time to Google some more. I have only had the phone about 6-7 days now.

I'm seeing others selling there new Note 4 Verizon phones on ebay, and some are saying they activated their phone too!

Some are posting in ebay they are selling the phone is too big, ya right, just like us, want root, via DE or Nexus. Nexus is no choice to me at all, would only be DE, too much for me too lose going over to the nexus, and just cannot deal with moto!!

[emoji1]

Shhhh, don't tell my wife, she is fuming over the thought, that I want to see if I reactivate my S3 and sell this Note 4 even though it has been activated and the sim card installed.

So if anyone has already done this on Verizon, let me in on how to sell your Verizon phone after activating and putting the sim card in with the 2yr contract? Would also need to keep the sim I think for the new De. That's of course if I can sell this.

Bad as I want the DE, if I cannot sell this new Note 4 that is under a 2 yr contact, I may be stuck! Sure others must be in the same boat. So hoping to get this worked out before I receive a email saying my back ordered DE is here!

[emoji15]

I love the Note 4 other than verizons crap!! Just need to flash it and customize to my linking. Such BS, Verizon saying they need to keep their enterprise customers secure like Google is saying as well.

Then turn around a let Samsung sell a DE verizon unlocked version, thought they were worried about security?? Perhaps it's more concern in sticking it to the customers.

Sorry for the long rant, just bummed after getting the note 4 and figured in a few weeks to a month would be able to root like my S3, which per a chainfires posting sounds hopeful, just says with Google concerned about the enterprise customers security, the new lollipop will not be able to root most likely the standard Note 4. So those that do root, will be on kitcat until they get a new phone.

Lot of unknowns!!

[emoji2]

Cheers

Happy Halloween everyone,

DE or bust. ....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Silent Patriot:
You do realize that you can return the phone and cancel the new 2-year contract within 14 days, right? You said you've only had it around 7 days, so that should still be an option.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mrlaigle:
Also you don't need to keep any one specific phone you can activate which ever you want. You only agree to have the line itself for 2 years .
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
Verizon doesn't really care what phone you have using your number (sort of). If you bought the phone on contract at a reduced price and sell it Verizon doesn't care. You can buy another phone through Verizon at full retail price or you can buy one from someone/somewhere else, but your contract price will not change. They may charge you an activation fee ($35 I think) on your new phone, but I'm not sure of that. When you get your new phone, take the SIM card out of your old phone, put it in your new phone, and turn it on. Bingo, you're up and running on Verizon with the same phone number and contractual terms of your contract, just with a different phone.

Hi. im tryin to upgrade my BA with Helmis latest version (1.4 or 1.4 vanila) ant it seems windows vista doesnt cooperates with me.

i follow the instructions. i even tryed to use the 2003 downgrade method but i get the error that the BA is not connected in the craddle.

i wonder if vista screws the communication.

anyone solved this?

thanks
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] imatrix:
so far there is no solution to this yet.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] muppet:
ok, so its a know issue. i thought that i was doing something wrong.

another thing is that i run getdevicedate. the devicedata.txt has strange characters in the operator code.

also, if i run baupgradeut.exe it gives me a country id error and some wierd characters...

is this a vista problem?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] imatrix:
no it's not vista problem. sometimes i see those funny characters in devicedata.txt as well, dont worry about that. and about bupgradeut.exe gives u country error code, use maupgrade_noid.exe instead, it will fix it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] muppet:
Hi. tks.

but the maupgrade_noid.exe gives me an error also(error 101 connection error). should i be in bootloader?

should i also run the setoperator.bat first? the tproblem is that i dont know it cause its corrupt in devicedata.txt

weird

Hi! Yesterday i tried to root and flash a ROM on my G Pad. The root was pretty easy with iOroot. Then I tried to install TWRM. Didnt worked because something could not load. Then I installed an app from the google play and "flashed" a ROM (KitKat CM11) on my G Pad. It was not booting because this secure error certification thing, but i tried to hard reset, reboot... didnt worked. I searched on XDA-Developers for help and after 5 minutes i found this recovery mode. But i see many people, who have CM11. My question: HOW?

Please tell me either a working TWRM with loki or another way to flash.

Thanks ~Julian

Hey friends I recently downloaded a movie from YIFY torrents.. it is in MP4 format.. but it is not playing in MXplayer.. .the player shows the message - "You are missing codec pack to play this movie.. " I searched for the codec pack but I didn't find any.. so what should I do to play this movie in MXplayer and on my laptop..
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
can you attach the screenshot?

If you are not getting audio & video is playing, then it might have dts audio track.

If it's so kindly read http://xdaforums.com/apps/mx-player/mx-player-custom-codec-dts-support-t2156254
[MX Player] jgmmjg:
There's no audio problem.. . I can hear the audio clearly.. . but the video is not playing.. Here's the screenshot..
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It's a kind of scam. The message shown in screenshot is not from mx player. A video can't raise any message, warnings & popups. It's not the warning/information & it's the actual content of the video. Even you can check it with PC. It will show the same.

One more important thing is that the website mentioned in the video is not the official Yify's one. So, It's completely a spam. Don't download any codec or player from the website mentioned in the video. It may contain malicious spyware programs.
[MX Player] franczg:

[MX Player] jgmmjg:
Thanks buddy.. .but I had already installed the codec.. .what should I do now.. .
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Do you mean that in pc?

Hope it's not playing even after installing it.

Kindly uninstall immediately
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
That's a scam YIFY site. I would consider uninstalling whatever you may have installed, and/or wiping the device if possible.

Had exact same problem

I had exactly the same issue with two movies i recently downloaded from the so called official yify website. And after struggling a lot for 'missing codecs', i l realized i wasted 1.5 GB of data usage :(
[MX Player] pafje:
Definitely a scam.. The file compresses with a ~50% ratio (800MB -> 400MB), which clearly shows the file was artificially inflated (using some unusual compression flags on the video I'd guess)... So the info is simply not there..
[MX Player] yedi1002:
Definitely it´s fake!! I downloaded 2 movies from the site, both with same message when playing it.

IF you listen 1 or 2 minutes on each movie you can hear the same audio, so it´s purely fake and they maybe are getting money from those websites advertising the site.

I would unnistall the "codecs" they offer inmediately and scan with an updated antivirus the whole machine.

I hope this helps.

Ok so my little brother was playing with my phone yesterday, and I believe he put it in his mouth and the charging port was in aswell, and it got a little wet. I dried it with a towel not knowing that it had gone isnide and the phone seemed to be working perfectly. I few mins later I was making a skype call, and out of a sudden the screen started flickering and just sit down. I though it was the sensors picking up something, but i Put my fingers over them and could still see that the screen was off. But the call carried on and the phone was still on, it was just the screen which was wet. So i decided to take the battery out, and when I took the back cover off, i found out that it was all wet. I de assembled my phone cried it all even the screen connecter and no internal damage had been caused from my perspective. I cleaned the motherboard battery everything. There was no signs of water on the inside it was only on the back cover. I still dont understand why it wont turn on, it never had any impact it just got wet and I cant see and signs of it inside the actual phone. I also cant get into recovery or download mode. PLEASE reply ASAP thanks guys :)

Hi,

Does anyone know how to disable the quick settings drop down menu on the Nexus 7 (2013)?

The devices will be for users in enterprise environment and we are locking the tablets down with AirWatch MDM however, AirWatch cannot provide the functionality to disable the quick settings drop down.

Users should not be able to gain access to change any settings.

1) Is there anyway to disable this without having to root the device?

2) Is there anyway to disable this by rooting the device? If yes, what is the procedure to do this.

Thanks in advance, any assitance would be much appreciated.

[HTC Tornado] tejasphatak:
There is a tweak for PPC to enabled 802.11g on the xda forum

-----------------------------------------------------

Enable 802.11g WiFi network connectivity

While the phone by default only connects to 802.11b WiFi networks, it is capable of connecting to 802.11g WiFi networks as well, once this is enabled:

HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMask = 1 (DWORD decimal)

HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMaskG = 8 (DWORD decimal)

To set back to default:

HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMaskG = 4 (DWORD decimal)

----------------------------------------------------------

I checked these settings on Sp5m and found out that

HKLM\COMM\TIACXWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMask = 1 (DWORD decimal)

Exists!!!

Seems like HTC tornado is using a TI (texas instrument) ACX wifi chip.

Wuts say?? if i put a second key (dot11SupportedRateMaskG= 8) to enable the 802.11g??? will it work??.
[HTC Tornado] SHiSH:
i test it and it not work

[HTC Tornado] rameshb_v:
Hi,

I have an Imate SP5m and I have added the key

HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMaskG = 8 (DWORD decimal)

I have set the router now to only use only 802.11g. Now it is not able to connect to the router. The router message says:

WIRELESS wl0: 11g : DeAuthentication (non-auth'd C3 frame rcvd.) User

which indicates that imate is not capable to handling the 54Mbps Tx/Rx rate.
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
LOL...

you won't connect to the internet any faster with "G" Wifi speed. That is a very common misunderstanding.

It will just connect faster to your router, and other computers on your local network. However, the internet generally travels at less than the max throughput of "B" (which is 11mpbs).

So, no matter how fast you connect to your router, you're limited to the speed of your internet connection. Most broadband connections average at around 1Mbps... or roughly 1/10th of the speed of 802.11b.

This is a fruitless exercise, unless of course you have some sick fiber optic internet connection that moves in excess of 11mbps... in which case, tell me where I can sign up for THAT!

The only reason people enabled G on their PPC's is because some people have routers set to only connect using the G protocol, and they'd like to connect as well. It doesn't get them online any faster.

I hope you understand now.
[HTC Tornado] tejasphatak:
i agree with you totally. i am sayin that i notice a increase in speed between the router and the mobile..
