[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Accessories] Solid_Snake.Pt:
Hi, I just ordered one and I'm interested in the magnets in the cover.

Some reviewers say that they aren't very secure and if the case is faced down the screen cover just drops.

I heard the case is a bit on the heavy side, but it seems pretty well made, I'm hoping the weight isn't that noticeable

Also, is the MicroSD slot covered?

Thanks, the information would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Accessories] mingkee:
The cover stays well, and the micro SD cover reveals as pic 4.

[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
The phone is BEAUTIFUL! I myself am more interested in the white ver but the tinted aluminum trim doesn't look bad at all imo. And I'd venture to say that silver trim/frame with the dark blue back might be to contrasty
[Nexus 6  General] D3VI0US:
I still can't tell if the metal part is dark gray or freaky blue
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
It's beautiful, but it has the slightest blue tint.
[Nexus 6  General] elementaldragon:
To start with, [MENTION=4893526]20degrees[/MENTION], Think you need to remember what a "Bezel" is. You were saying the bezel looks purple, and my first thought was "No.... i'm pretty sure the bezel is black... like on most other phones". What you mean is the metal trim/frame/whathaveyou.

I, personally, would still rather avoid the white like the plague. I've never been a fan of the look of white phones (not to mention just worrying about the color itself, with potential discoloration from the plastic itself or from stuff rubbing against it i.e. pants material, etc...), and i actually quite like the purple-ish look to the metal frame of the Nexus 6. I mean... it's called "Midnight Blue".... not "Blue".
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
Im getting a white but not because of the purple thing cause I like that actually, but because of the blue back being a fingerprint magnet. But if they only have blue at launch then ill gladly settle for that. But Goodness gracious this phone is so beautiful!

Did he say it doesn't have the soft touch back? Does anyone know the texture of the white or blue?
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:
Whatever. The bezel to me is what's around the screen.

The trim is purple. Who cares really? It's purple....

[Nexus 6  General] chrisg1548:
That's why I prefer the white, hate the blueish bezel, I had the blue S3 and didn't like the blue bezels. What they should have done was to to give options to change the back cover like the moto x to give it even more personalization......just a thought.
[Nexus 6  General] manalf:
I have the Moto X 2014, it has the same trim around the edges & it's a gray/silver color from a distance I guess the black front can give that color look, but in reality it is gray.

[Nexus 6  General] Pilz:
Why does it have to look so beautiful while Google is holding out on us with limited availability. I need this phone now because Nexus...

I like the look of the phone in "midnight blue" I knows its not really "black" like it looks in pictures, but I'm okay with that because I already purchased a dbrand carbon skin with red accents to put on my Nexus 6 for whenever I can actually find a place selling it.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
While I like the color of the trim on the midnight black I know I'd get tired of it quick. Right now I'm leaning on going white and hoping there are some replacement backs in the future.
[Nexus 6  General] FazCapone:
Must. Have. Now.
[Nexus 6  General] HankStorm:
There won't be replacement backs since the back isn't removable.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Probably not user removable but nothing a little extra work with some tools. Probably just need a pry tool but replacement backs may be a little pricey since it's got the qi components on it.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillyd32:
So I've got a rooted AT&T Note 3. It's running the original ROM but modded like crazy. For the past couple of weeks, Snapchat has been horribly laggy. Every action takes a few seconds. The camera takes 10-15 seconds to load, and then freezes for up to 30 seconds before loading again. I have uninstalled, restarted, and reinstalled many times. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Nothing else is laggy or buggy at the moment on the phone. I have not subscribed to the beta either. When the keyboard finally loads in snapchat, it types fine. I've got a OnePlus One coming in a few weeks, but I'd like to get Snapchat working normally again until then.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
My Snapchat done this exact same thing, it was on my Nexus 5 though. I put it down to the ROM and /or Xposed (was using keepchat). Sure enough once I reflashed and reinstalled it worked fine. Not sure why it does this but it was the first time it had ever happened to me.

Try dirty flashing your ROM. And don't use so many xposed tweaks. See if it resolves, then wittle down which mod is messing with it.

Thank you for the guide

I have read a lot of guides on porting roms and now i knw that we can port rom to any device using stock rom for that device and tha rom we want to port bt they need to be of same version

Means base rom and port rom should have same android version

My question is how newer roms like kitkat (cyanogenmod, etc) are available for older devices like Galaxy S2? As per as i know Samsung didn't provide kitkat for GS2 so there is no base rom for porting kitkat to GS2 So how they did it?

Can you tell me how to do such cross version porting?

Cooking for Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910W8

Hello All,

Thanks for the great job done and for keeping this thread alive. I have gone through all the important posts, and before I will start doing anything on my phone, I would like anybody who has the knowledge to clear me on specific topics that were not exclusively discussed:

I have Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910W8. I am with Rogers Wireless Canada and my device is unlocked.

One of the things that annoys users of Samsung phones is the delays of firmware updates and upgrades. If you remember, T-Mobile did not get Lollipop before the end of April 2015. One possible solution to this kind of delays is for every individual to become knowledgeable on how to “cook” his or her own custom ROM.

1. I would like to use the official firmware as my base Rom to add or remove programs before flashing it on my phone.

2. Rooting is not yet an option; If I root my device, I can no longer get OTA updates. Without rooting, how can I modify the stock Rom (before flashing) in order to de-brand it and install generic CSC codes so that I can get updates directly from Samsung?

3. Can I use an International official firmware or any Canadian stock firmware, cook it (make changes with e.g. Android Kitchen), then flash it, so that I can receive updates from Samsung directly through any country as soon as upgrade wave begins? This means making my Cell Phone software region unlock.

4. My current Rogers Lollipop only has English, French, Korean and one more Asian language. None of all the Canadian cell phones that I had in the past has Spanish and European languages pre-loaded, which annoys me always. I know that all languages can be activated by customizing the stock software without installing a third party software to do the job. Can anybody tell me how best to do this?

5. I do not know the reason why Rogers removed the Data Toggle button from the Notification Panel. To make people spend money on data? For me, it is an easy access that makes me save money whenever I do not need to use Rogers’ data. I want it back and I know that it can be reactivated by customizing the software before flashing. Can someone tell me how to do that?

6. I understood that so long as I continue to flash my device with stock (factory) “Recovery.img”, my KNOX Warranty will not be tripped (void). But can this stock “Recovery.img” be customized without voiding the KNOX warranty?

I appreciate all your attention drawn unto this.

Sunny.

I'm trying to run a pair of UE Boom bluetooth speakers in 'double-up' mode (where they pair together and run in stereo). When running from a MotoX, the audio drops every few seconds and comes back. When running the speakers from a Nexus4, I experience the same audio drops. If I only use one speaker at a time, there's no audio drops.

When running the speakers in double up mode from an iPhone 5, the audio does not drop at all! Is there some known issue with Bluetooth in Android that would explain why the iPhone doesn't have the same bluetooth audio issues that I'm experiencing with both Android devices? Or is it more likely that this is a bug with the speakers? My support ticket is here: http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Logit...n-Double-Up/m-p/1333545/highlight/false#M4871
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenjeans:
Turns out I was wrong, this thread can probably be deleted.

The speakers drop audio when running from an iPhone 5 as well, just not as frequently. This is more likely an issue with the speakers than anything else.

Just got my T-mobile Note 4 today and installed Chrome right away.

I noticed instantly how chrome felt sluggish compared to my Nexus 5. I ran a few benchmarks (https://www.webkit.org/perf/sunspider/sunspider.html and http://html5-benchmark.com/ ) And chrome came in much slower than the stock 'internet' app. For example on the JS benchmark I was getting ~1.6 seconds for Chrome, 300 ms on 'internet' app. This doesn't sound right at all!

Any idea of what's going on? any settings I could tweak?

Actual benchmarks

I tried to install the 'Chrome Samsung Support Library' but it did nothing to improve Chrome lower benchmarks vs the stock browser on my Note 4. I actually benchmarked firefox, chrome and stock on 4 different benchmarks, here are the results:

[B]peacekeeper (higher is better)[/B]
stock: 1310
chrome: 900
chrome Samsung support: 957
firefox: 648

[B]octane JS ( higher is better )[/B]
stock: 5712
chrome: 5470
chrome Samsung support: 5306
firefox: 3429

[B]sunspider JS ( lower is better )[/B]
firefox: 1094ms
chrome: 884ms
chrome Samsung support: 834ms
stock: 432ms

[B]kraken JS[/B]
stock: 5348 ms
chrome: 5841 ms
chrome Samsung support: 5466ms
firefox: 11658 ms

Stock is always faster, even up to 44% faster on the peacekeeper benchmark. This is disappointing. I'm not sure if people have noticed, but the stock browser is actually Chromium based, just type 'chrome://version' on the stock and you'll see all the info. Therefore there is nothing particularly different to the Chrome available on the app store, so stock and chrome must share a huge amount of codebase. The difference may lie on startup command line settings and some tweak here or there that probably Samsung knows very well and hasn't bothered to make sure chrome runs well.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] iunlock:
This is great. Thanks for those benches.

Personally I hate Chrome.....the stock browser is awesome and much lighter and snappier.

:good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mwms:
Even with the support library installed, I think it is slow. Coming from a Note 2 where I used Chrome as my default browser. Never tried any benchmarks, but it just seems way way slower than it ever did on the Note 2.

Hello guys,

I have installed a custom ROM on my HTC ONE V phone after doing a backup with the HTC Sync Manager. I updated the firmware (Hellboy) and then played with a bunch of different ROMs. I think I did a backup with clockwork at some point on it but I don't think I can find it between the other folders on the phone. Main problem as soon as I installed the custom ROM I was unable to connect it with the computer anymore. First of all it displayed only the USB Mass USB connection, tried a lot of times with various different ROMs to enable via terminal mtp or ptp with no luck (computer sees it only as an external drive and HTC manager doesn't see it at all).

So I would try to revert it back to the custom ROM which looks to be even more of a hassle then installing a custom rom. Anyway, I have a new phone that I'm using now and only care for my backup contacts. I see them on my computer on AppData but they are encrypted and have the XML extension. Is there any software that can import that data into content that can be used?

Thanks!
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi,

First, are you using Sense based roms? Only Sense based will have HTC sync. Without Sense and HTC sync, the computer just sees a random device. Trying a Sense rom, or flash back to stock will likely let you see your contacts again.

So, for more insight and help with your contacts, you will need to ask about it in your device section, here...

> HTC One V > One V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good luck!
[XDA Assist] mindient:
I just wanted to say that you're a life saver mate. Thank you so much! You took 5 mins of your time to post a reply on my thread and I saved hours or maybe more of research for this stupid issue. As soon as I searched a sense enabled ROM and install it and as soon as I realized that I can access my device from my computer using fastboot instead of adb when the device is in bootloading mode (I was trying to ping my device with "adb devices") everything went smoothly. I flashed a proper boot, a new sense-enabled ROM, I synced with my HTC Sync Manager, exported my contact list (for some reason it didn't automatically - basically never synced the contact lists), imported the contact list into my google account and bam! It appeared on my new telephone like some magic. :)

Wow, well done my friend!

hey guys so im a noob at all of this so noob it down for me please :p

the other day i tried rooting my phone and i thought i succeeded at doing so since the SuperSU (blue hashtag) app appeared in my apps. knox's also is disabling supersu from running. when i open up knox it reads "your device is not authorized to enter samsung knox mode" im guessing thats because of it being rooted? so when i downloaded root checker to see if my phone is rooted and it comes out that my phone is not rooted.

so is my phone rooted and knox is keeping su from running or did i not root properly?

:confused::confused:

any suggestions

i think the root was called clockwork? and i have the tmobile t-999
