[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Kylorr:
Hello,

I have an i337 that is PIN locked and unfortunately the owner has passed away. The family of the owner has asked me if I am able to retrieve the pictures off of the device for them, but they do not know the PIN. Sadly, there is not an SD card, nor a Google account (I can enter the password incorrectly indefinitely without being prompted), and I am unable to get any information by attaching it to my PC. As far as I am able to tell the phone is stock and not rooted. Booting into recovery shows me KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1. If there is any more information I can provide, I am unsure where to find it. I've done a few searches but haven't found anything that works for me. One of my thoughts was trying to find a rom to flash with Odin that doesn't wipe the internal SD card, but I can't seem to find one for this device, if such a thing even exists. If anyone has any experience bypassing a PIN without losing data or has any suggestions that would be of help in this particular situation I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks,

Kylor R

edit: realizing I should have posted this in the Q&A/Help section, my apologies.

Just connect it to a PC using a usb cable and you will see the storage on the pc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Kylorr:
Unfortunately, just connecting it to my PC shows the phone, but no files are visible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] moiramd:
But a factory reset don't erase storage file just apk and config. I have done factory reset before and never lost any file. And the factory reset will take away the pin lock
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Kylorr:
Any time I have done a factory reset, I believe it has erased the pictures stored on the internal memory. Not a chance I can take unless this is 100% confirmed.

[Shield Tablet General] whoamanwtf:
http://youtu.be/pv9qkWm16mM Video from Nvidia.

Maybe they have been working on this the whole time to fix any of the bugs that are left on the tablet!
[Shield Tablet General] dyastrab:
Excellent!
[Shield Tablet General] jaredmorgs:
I am staggered to understand that we are getting Lollipop this month.

This puts us basically in-line with the Nexus line, but for a cheaper point of entry price and arguably better features with stylus and other things like wifi direct controller.
[Shield Tablet General] whoamanwtf:
Also it seems that unlike the Shield Tab the Nexus 9 was not built with very good cooling and it throttles itself at some point where as I have not got the Shield to throttle itself yet no matter what I have been playing.
[Shield Tablet General] jaredmorgs:
The nexus 7 2013 suffered from this as well. The teeny-tiny mainboard on the left of the screen got scorching hot and topped out at 79 Degrees Celsius for me before throttling started happening. I've not seen any throttling on the Shield Tab on the same games. The max I've seen the temp get to was about 40 degrees.
[Shield Tablet General] whoamanwtf:
Yeah Nvidia is quite good at keeping chips cool, one of the best even so it is not surprising. That was a big factor in me picking up the Shield even though I knew about the N9 coming.
[Shield Tablet General] Karim.younus:
Is development for this device likely to pick up along with the Nexus 9?
[Shield Tablet General] whoamanwtf:
No not really, you realize 5.0 has been announced to be out this month on this tab. Ever since launch everyone has been looking forward to it, people don't want to waste time on a KK ROM.
[Shield Tablet General] xXsquirr3lsXx:
I heard the source is already out and we should be getting it within the week. Dont get your hopes up.
[Shield Tablet General] busab:
Will lollipop be able to be rooted? I've read different information and I'm getting confused.
[Shield Tablet General] dukehazard77:
Where did you hear that?
[Shield Tablet General] xXsquirr3lsXx:
Saw it from a comment on 5.0 Shield Tab review video.
[Shield Tablet General] abnormaIity:
Chainfire already rooted the Nexus 6 so im assuming it can be done with Nvidia as well.
[Shield Tablet General] dibblebill:
If the RMA I'm getting doesn't fix my LTE/signal issues, I'm really hoping that the Lollipop update fixes it.
[Shield Tablet General] Gytole:
I went through and fastboot erased all partitions then flash stock and took all the OTA updates when the last update came out and my 5GHz has been close to on par with my 2.4GHz band from then on. I also use the TP Link Archer C7 and its been nothing but fantastic at pushing 5GHz to my stuff but I hated the 5 band until the recent update.
[Shield Tablet General] dibblebill:
I only have LTE issues and cracked ccorners

EDIT: I just heard back from them that the TMO issue is an open bug "and will be fixed in a future update".
[Shield Tablet General] Latheman:
I am no expert but I think we would need a custom kernel to root on 5.0. I am not going to take 5.0 till exposed and other root apps I love are compatible though.

Levi -Sent from my SHIELD
[Shield Tablet General] xXsquirr3lsXx:
Chainfire rooted the Nexus 9 running Lollipop and im pretty sure he didnt have to use a kernel. BusyBox is also updated for Lollipop.
[Shield Tablet General] maxawesome:
I'm not sure why it surprises anyone that Nvidia would be quick out of the gate to update to Lollipop. The K1 is one of what, 3 or 4 64-bit ARM chipsets out today?

I will admit, though, that I was somewhat unsure when I bought the Shield Tablet as to Nvidia's commitment to keeping it updated and their relatively small presence in Android devices. But given the processing power that is unlocked with a 64-bit OS and games that are optimized for 64-bit, it doesn't surprise me that they are committed to it at least for the 5.0 release. After that, we'll see. But honestly, 5.0 is such a major release that I can see not getting another major update for another two or three years, at which point most of us on XDA will have upgraded anyhow.

As for the question of whether it will be rooted, Android will *always* have a root exploit, and with 80% of the mobile market, there are so many eyes poring over the code to find it that it really isn't a question of "if" but "when".
[Shield Tablet General] T-Keith:
Just to be clear, the Tegra k1 in the Shield tablet is not 64bit. Nvidia confusingly makes two versions of the k1. A 4 core arm7 (32bit) and a 2 core arm8 (64bit). The Shield tablet has the former, the nexus 9 has the latter.
[LG G Watch R] 944s2power:
Is there a way to turn off the flicky wrist screen on thing on my G watch R? I use the "always-on screen" feature and dont need the display to light up fully every time i look at the watch....!

Best regards/ Henke
[LG G Watch R] seepage:
If you mute it, it turns that off. But then it is muted so I do not know if that is any good to you.
[LG G Watch R] 944s2power:
Well i would still like to get the notification vibration, but its a start...!! :)

Thanks!

Best regards/ Henke
[LG G Watch R] seepage:
Most people seem to be using always on. Why? if you list your hand to look it comes on. It will make the battery last for a shorter time and what about screen burn? I may just be overthinking this.
[LG G Watch R] Hawke84:
ive done some playing around with screen always on / off and it really doesnt seem to make that much difference to battery 6:30am - 10:30pm and i have 50% battery left with screen always on. u might be able to get a few more % having it off but i didnt notice much difference in testing.

not sure about screen burn tho...
[LG G Watch R] TeroZ:
I am worried about the screen burn-in issue. The phone based on the same P-OLED display technology G Flex suffers from this problem. I can see that the quality of GWaR's panel is improved but the burn in problem should exist as long as it's oled.

Another small thing I noticed is when you use stock watch faces, their always on screen content will randomly shift a little every minute, to avoid screen burn(so LG is aware of this problem). Thus worrying about the screen burn is not over-thinking. I turned off the always-on function when I use 3rd party watch faces. (EDIT: 3rd-party watch faces can shift itself too, seems like it's a system-wide screen saving mechanism)
[LG G Watch R] 2k4ever:
yes, it is - the Samsung Gear Live has the same feature - lets hope it helps in the long run...
[LG G Watch R] jrvenge:
Yeees

This is doing my head in, whats the point in an always on ambient mode, if the bloody thing turns on every time i move my arm. Pointless.

And mute it to stop it, then makes wearing it pointless?

This needs to be addressed asap!

[LG G Watch R] dew.man:
LOL I think you misunderstood my post. I am in 100% agreement with both of you in that we need to be able to disable the "auto on" behavior without muting notifications.

Merely expressing my agreement...

Just got my watch yesterday and this is also making me crazy... That's why I came to the forum in the first place. We need a setting to turn off the wake up movement gesture
[LG G Watch R] pixelat0r:
Same thing here, it should be a fundamental control to turn this feature off. I'm a little worried about battery life on mine too, for some reason I'm just barely squeaking 24 hours on a full charge with no more than 12 notifications per day???

i have a laptop with wifi and a DSL internet conection

is that possible to access the net (DSL) using my universal

(without using GPRS ) ,via wifi or bluetooth

i mean using my laptop as wireless modem , NOT my universal as modem ,

and thanksssssss

pleaseeeee help
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AlanJC:
If you're using your laptop on WiFi to access your DSL connection, is there any reason why you don't just use WiFi on your universal?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dastan:
thanlks for your reply , but my DSL connected via ethernet cable to my laptop ,and my laptop has a wireless lan on it , so can i make my laptop as a wireless modem ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] patrickl:
If you connect the Universal to your laptop it will use the internet connection over the Activesync connection.

:edit: Just reread, but yes you can also set your laptop WiFi connection to Ad Hoc mode to allow WiFi connections to it and use a shared internet connection that way. You better find a HOWTO or something for that though since it is not so straightforward.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Menneisyys:
Sure you can - via either a direct, active BT / USB ActiveSync connection OR a Wi-Fi p2p connection or, if you install the Widcomm BT stack, even BT PAN p2p.

Please read my related articles - I've published many articles on all these technologies.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmecherul:
it seems that samsung firmware is becoming worse and worse. I have a 75000mAh extended battery and it would last me about 3 days with the MK software. i updated to the NC5 one, and batteyr life took a dump at most a day with the same usage. I dont even dare to put the original battery as it lasts me 5 hours. I though it was the battery so i replaced it, but same thing. I am now on NG6 and not much improvment. Besides the screen, ANDROID SYSTEM and ANDROID OS are using the most battery resources. WTF are these damn things? what is the difference between SYSTEM and OS. To me they should be the same. Has anyone noticed this, or is there something that I can do to improve it? thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SnyderGuy:
If you select them, they will display what is included in those packages.

Android System and Android OS are NOT the same. Not at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmecherul:
since my last full battery recharge, android os has used 64% of my battery, screen 9% android system 7%. this is ridiculous that the OS is using that much battery. forget about what people are saying that screen consume the battery is the damn android or whatever verizon is putting into it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mg2195:
That is not normal...sounds like you have some type of wake lock or some background app that isn't shutting off. I cant remember off the top of my head but I think theres an app called better battery stats or somethung like that and it hwlps you track down what specifically is draing you battery...as in what specific part of the android os.

usually a reboot will fix these issues, however if that fails then I would look Into the better battery stats...and then a full factory reset/or odin if possible
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmecherul:
Too bad that those apps require root to work in kitkat due to google's change in permissions. This sucks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lithium630:
I had the same issue. My battery used to last me about 17 hours (two work shifts). After some updates it would be at about 5% after an 8 hours shift. I replaced the battery thinking it would help but it made no difference. I finally got fed up enough and installed Safestrap and the Hyperdrive Rom. The difference is night and day. After one shift my battery has been 50% - %70 depending on my usage. Not being familiar with Safestrap it took a little work, but it was well worth it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gpz1100:
As indicated above, most battery life issues are caused by apps failing to allow the phone to sleep properly.

Get better battery stats, root your phone, and allow it to run for a at least half a day. Wake lock detector works well too, also requires root.

Google location services is a big culprit of background activity.

Tracking down the actual causes takes time, lots of it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ThaRockstar007:
frustrated

I got replacement phone with NG6 already on it. The battery life sucks. For some reason when it goes sleep, sometimes the battery will go up a 1 or 2% , have No idea how it's doing it
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willstay:
I need a screen capture app that is very simple in that it should capture screen when app is run. Whenever I am doing stuffs in my phone, I quickly capture screen, doodle, crop and share. When I was in Note 3, I was using Air Command Shortcut and I was triggering this from Pie Control (translucent pie with customized links) and then clicking Screen Capture (of Air command), doodle, crop and share. I did all this without using S-Pen. Yes I can use S-Pen, or palm swipe or click Home+Power to capture but these are all cumbersome. Removing S-Pen every single time is tedious. Have to be very precise with palm swipe as page may slightly scroll before screen is captured. Home+Power if not clicked instantaneously ends up activating Home or Power button.

Until Air Command Shortcut gets compatible with Note 4, I want some screen capture app that I can trigger from Pie Control.

[Nexus 9 General] ritchea:
Trade-in does sort of depend on the employee but also on what's in their computers. The deal is supposed to work for any tablet (no ereaders) that functions-boots up. However, if you read some posts in the BB forum, all tablets don't get recognized, and some employees don't know what to do about it. Posting issues in the forum sometimes gets results.

I really don't think they care about stock, root, whatever. They only look for the serial number and model details under "About tablet."

As an aside [RANT], I don't get why some BestBuy stores give such a *!$^&*ing hard time to potential customers. It's a sale for them, and a tax write-off at the same time. Geez! They refused one of mine (in truth, it was a white Pandigital novel which is classified as an ereader so I wasn't expecting the gift card although some others had been able to get them for the device, AND, I was treated very respectfully so no complaints there) because it was not in their system. I went somewhere else to make a purchase getting the same price (I wasn't buying a newly launched tablet) as it would have cost with the $50. off--and I saved sales tax in the process. They did me a favor.
