[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johentie:
hmm i'm sure she was a moderator for a reason... not just anyone gets to be a moderator .. especially on a site like XDA...

and just because you had 3 flagship devices within the last year doesn't mean you know how updates work with samsung..

i've had

samsung captivate

samsung Galaxy S

samsung Galaxy Nexus

Samsung S2 Skyrocket

Samsung S3

Samsung Note 2

Samsung Note 3

and now the Samsung Note 4...

with some nexus 4 and 5, Lg G3, and other devices in between

so i have seen Gingerbread to kitkat on Samsung phones... i've also owned the first ever Android phone the HTC G1 from t-mobile.. i was in the states during the launch and bought it from a T-Mobile Employee who got the unlock code for me to use it on Rogers... so i have seen the full evolution of android since day one... i'm not braggin.. i'm just saying cause u seem to base ur experience superior to others in terms of how well they know the update process and cycle... that is all

updates come within at most 6 months... which surprisingly is better then most OEMs... in our world it's slow... and not only does samsung play a role in the updates... the carriers have to test and approve as well form what i understand... Since your from Canada and so am i.... but i don't know what carrier your with.. but i am with Rogers and Rogers is pretty good at releasing updates faster then AT&T etc... Rogers has been pretty good with not bloating up their phones AS MUCH as before... i was surprised to not see any Rogers type apps pre loaded... so with that said that reduces testing time because they don't have to ensure it works with their apps specifically for that long since it's not pre loaded... and to tell you the truth... Lollipop is probably being tested as we speak on the Note 4.. manufacturers get the build of a new Android version MONTHS ahead of announcement so they have enough time to make changes and adopt the new version... do the carriers have it yet?? who knows... well people know just prefer not to say cause spreading rumors is not my cup of tea

so i would say we will be getting the 5.0 update probably in Dec(hoping hoping) or Jan because it's a different update.. times are changing and OEMs are trying to get things out faster because they know adoption rate is much better now compared to in the past...plus with Google tooting 5.0 as the BEST and Biggest update i'm sure we will see around the new year or end of Jan ....US thanksgiving is coming then Christmas and then new years .. so enjoy your time with your family and friends... enjoy the CRAZY A$$ Canadian winter and then before you know it "BAM" software update! and enjoy your Note 4 on kitkat cause it's still bad A$$.. go download the 5.0 google apps to hold you over and download Nova Launcher to get some lollipop animations
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bat0nas:
Btw.. will we notice any changes in 5.0?

Gui is heavily modified, all the settings as well. What will be most noticeable differences from kitkat 4.4.4 in Note 4 case?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johentie:
i'm not a dev but I believe there a lot of backend changes... like Dalvik to ART .. which would allow for 64bit processors etc

much smoother, better battery life..

Touchwiz will make lollipop very familiar to us as most of their material design was modified in 4.4.4.. u might see minor changes in the UI like dialer and how lock screen messages are handled

but most of it will be familar to you because of touchwiz..

i;m sorry i'm not pefect and make typos... i bow down to you oh perfect typist ... i read it later and realized it was wrong and changed it.. that's what the edit button is for... maybe people like you can remove the Backspace button on your keyboard.. but unfortunately for me i make mistake... i don't have time to research to argue with people like you and live on the forums to trash people about technology so no i didn't go and research that number.. i don't even know if 6 months is true... i just know 6 months is a rough estimate... but again if u knew anything lollipop is probably the fastest update to Android by any OEM... Motorola already has them rolling out to the X and G... LG already rolling out.. LG IS THEEE WORST At updates... NVIDA is rolling out soon... so i don't think samsung will sit around for 6 months to release is.. especially with builds already working on the S4 and S5.. i may be wrong i may be right.. but go around like your the man on campus ..

and they are not the same company in canada.. Yes Ted Rogers did purchase a stake in AT&T and yes Rogers went through various name changes with the AT&T .. but at the present time Rogers is Rogers.. they bought out whatever AT&T had in Rogers .... they have similar offerings, but AT&T has nothing to do with Rogers as it is today... they work together still to bring offerings in Canada and the US in terms of network but they are are two separate entities and AT&T has nothing to do with Canada as a Canadian....

If they were the same company in Canada your logic would go across all mobile devices... but thats not the case...

i'm sorry polish-pat but i had to use the edit button to fix some typos....

Better later than sooner. Because I gotta have xposed on lollipop hope tbe dev figures it out soon, how to make it work on Lollipop. Or else I will have to go back to the extremely disgusting stock 640 DPI. Which is the most retarded choice for a phone this size. With xposed app settings you can just change the samsung apps to stock dpi so they don't break.

Either that or I have to stop using stock apps, which would be hard as the camera app breaks with low dpi.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
I reckon around June or July 2015. I think Samsung were quite fly in posting on Twitter the Note 4 with the Lollipops picture just as it was released, making people thing it would get it soon but I don't think it will. In all honesty, Touchwiz is so heavily themed on the N4 I don't think we will see much difference when it does arrive,maybe some slight performance enhancements.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoodles:
I don't know - for Samsung to keep selling their top-of-the-line phone with an older version of Android after the competition has moved to 5.0 would not be good marketing for them. So they should be putting a fairly high priority on getting the Note 4 updated as soon as possible.

That said, after some of the things I have read about 5.0 on the Nexus 6, I'd like Samsung to get their version right before releasing it. The improvements sound minor from the user's perspective and some of the downsides (like compulsory full device encryption slowing everything down) sound fairly major.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billydroid:
I have s-off. I relocked my boot loader to flash T-Mobile's latest 4.4.4 ota manually.

My unlock code bin will not work.

It's says "remote: unlock token check failed".

Now I'm stuck with locked boot loader and no root.

But I'm still s-off.

Any ideas?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seadersn:
you need a new unlocktoken. do the htcdev.com/bootloader unlock procedure again and when it's done, leave it open. it doesn't matter if your device is un-/locked in terms of OTA updates. especially not, when s-off.

Well ****. This is why you don't do things late at night. Thanks for bump starting my brain.
[Samsung Gear S] aerodrew:
Hi I'm new to the forum although I've been browsing for quite some time. Been a samsung user since S2. Had the gear 2 neo and loved it. Just got the Gear S yesterday and am loving it too. One question though, would the Gear S require a screen protector? Or is it made of the same kind of gorilla glass as the phones?
[Samsung Gear S] jonstatt:
I haven't seen it officially stated anywhere but I believe it is gorilla glass as the Gear 2/Neo and Gear Fit were. This is actually not the primary concern in terms of damage though. The plastic shiny silver bezel is more problematic than the screen!
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
If you want screen protector a few choices

http://www.smartwatchappcenter.com/best-samsung-gear-s-screen-protector.html
[Samsung Gear S] pdqgp:
Thank you

Thanks! These options just went up there as I was checking Amazon just yesterday! Placed my order. :good:
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
:) let us know which one you got and how it fits on the GS when it arrives that would be great YW:D
[Samsung Gear S] rfs830:
I saw some of these on amazon. I have a screen protector on my note 4 now and wanted one for the gear s as well. I hope these work good.

Now this looks interesting

Skinomi® TechSkin - Samsung Gear S Screen Protector + Gold Carbon Fiber Full Body Skin Protector

http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi®-Tech...62913&sr=1-5&keywords=gear+s+screen+protector
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
I wonder if all these screen protectors will have the "Halo" that the note 4 owners keep complaining about because of the curve screen. If someone tries this out let us know the outcome. Lifetime warranty not bad for the full body screen protector
[Samsung Gear S] rfs830:
I dont thing they will as they are just plastic so it should curve with the screen. On the note 4 the plastic can curve all the way down so you get the halo problem
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
this is good to know :fingers-crossed: I wait for a review
[Samsung Gear S] Tikerz:
XtremeGuard has posted their Gear S screen protector. These are the wet application screen protectors like Ghost Armor and InvisibleShield and Skinomi.

http://www.xtremeguard.com/Samsung-...n-Protectors-p/samgearsxgrds.htm#.VGKRd9LGAuU

With their current 90OFF1 coupon code, it makes it $0.70 shipped for one!
[Samsung Gear S] bgs_piece:
How did you get that coupon code to work? I just tried and it says it expired Feb of 2014.

***Edit: I tried again just to make sure and this time it worked! Thanks for the code.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
I was about to say your doing it wrong because I just tried the code w/o login in and it worked.

Since I'm on the site might as well get it
[Samsung Gear S] jmacdonald19:
I just ordered 2 of these. THANK YOU for posting this! [emoji3]

thanks for the coupon code. I just ordered a bunch of stuff off that site. Thanks again
[Samsung Gear S] idelgado782:
I forgot about that email. I usually make purchases from there when they have these sales. I ordered 2 screen protrctors, 2 full body skins for the note 4 and a carbon fiber skin for the back of the note 4 all for 5 bucks shipped. Thanks for the reminder.

Takin Notes..
[Samsung Gear S] CehowardNote3:
Just wanted to give you another THANK YOU for sharing with us... :good:

BTW, the Note 4 and the GEAR S, a bad combo.. ;)
[Samsung Gear S] Tikerz:
I got my XtremeGuard protectors today and installed one on the Gear S. The fit is great and installation is the same as any other wet application protector. Can't beat $0.70 a piece!

Skinomi

I have the Skinomi installed now for several days. I am very happy with it so far. Here is my install video very simple http://youtu.be/BwjQsCp1aCA
[Samsung Gear S] sniickers:
Got my xtremeguard the other day. It installed perfectly. Barely can tell it's there. Definitely worth the 70 cents or even more. Might try the skinomi next if I damage the xtremeguard. I like the cut outs on the skinomi.

I order the dry and wet screen protectors from Xtremeguards oh and a carbon fiber black protect for my Note 4 2.90$ with free shipping I'm elated
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tampitzel:
So I got my Nexus 5 about 2-3 months ago. I must say it's the best phone I ever had, and i had them all from HTC to Samsung to Xiaomi etc. Nothing compares to Nexus.

Anyway, I found the first thing I don't like about it.

A few weeks ago kept noticing my phone pocket dials, so I enabled pattern lock. No more issues.

After that, yesterday, I was very curious if I am the only one with this issue. So my friend has a G2, which is pretty similar from what I understands.

If I wake the screen, put my phone in my pcket and try to unlock it over the clothes, I can do it super easy.

However, the G2 does not reach to this and my friend doesn't need a pattern unlock.

Is there a way this can be fixed so i don't have to use pattern? I don't like it. Thank you!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] failly:
This never happend to me. In fact, I don't think it's possible due the fact the touchscreen only registers 'heat' touches(like your fingers).

Try to put a bit of your jeans over your fingers and try to see if the touchscreen responds.

Or you can set-up a harder pin/pattern lock.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepdavies:
Maybe not a proper solution but I have a Nillkin case on mine. Its fairly thin so doesn't make the phone bulky but the buttons are now slightly recessed so I don't push them by mistake. I don't use a screen lock at all most of the time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dzontra.nikola:
I have the same problem, and I also opened the topic here about it a while ago.

I also set up a pattern for unlocking, and it somewhat helps. However, sometimes I see that emergency call dialer is opened when I pick up a phone from my pocket, so the problem still persist. Weird though, I never had similar problems with other touch phones that I had.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] californicated:
Some roms like CM do have an option to prevent accidental wakeups. It uses the proximity sensor to check if the phone is placed in the pocket.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bonusbartus:
I had the same problem,

To prevent this, I made a tasker pofile I can send you.

It checks if the proximity sensor detects anything on unlock, then relocks the phone immediately and vibrates for a second to let know something happened.

Never had any unwanted unlocks since:D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The digitiser registers electrical disturbances in its field. This can be caused by any part of the human body no matter what temperature.

It can even be done through thin fabrics. Maybe OP has jeans with very thin inside pockets.

Anyway, there is no way you could easily restrict the distance the field can "project" from the digitiser.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dzontra.nikola:
If you could share it, it would be great.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] failly:
Aha! Thanks for the info. The more you know:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tampitzel:
Allright, so i just used my covers, which aren't very thin, and i managed to unlock my phone :) using screen pattern lol. I just had to press just a little harder and it registered the touch. Weird. I don't mind using the pattern unlock but still ..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tampitzel:
I will try that, i was thinking about a case which makes it a lil harder to wake the screen. Thx !
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Maybe there's a hole in your pocket and your penis is doing some slide to wake action! ?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Never even once have I accidentally pressed the power button while my phone was in my pocket. Stop wearing tight pants, problem solved.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bonusbartus:
I don't wear tight pants, I notice this mostly while cycling:) body temperature and humidity probably play a role
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
I had this issue with my S3. I think pin or pattern lock are the only way, but it hits your emergency dialer, too. Hopefully, that tasker profile going to the prox sensor too will work. I don't think there is a way around this as the screens are sensitive. I usually have mine in my jacket pocket, but when I use my pants I can come across things like this. Not really sure we can know why, can't be in the pocket at the same time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topgeardave:
Could be a dodgy power button, I'm going a through a similar process where minimal pressure on the button makes it turn the screen off, hard resets or the power menu appears. I don't want to RMA because I'll only get a refurb which could have more serious issues.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Refurbs undergo the same quality control as their new devices.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topgeardave:
Ah really? Thanks :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yeah so you should be good. Also they send you the device first so you get to look at it before sending yours back.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cupid412:
My brother cracked his Z ultra's screen, now the screen is dead, power and volume buttons are still working though.

I'm trying to clear all user's data on this phone (phone, sdcard...) in order to sell its dead body

Turned it off (by reset button), volume down doesn't do anything, it won't boot into bootloader.

USB debugging is not enabled either, so I cannot

adb reboot bootloader

:(

How can I wipe this ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wtfhax:
Top of my head is trying to get into flashmode by volume down+plugging in the USB cable. Using flashtool it should tell you if its connected in flashmode or not and if it is flash a tft on it. That should clean the device by wiping everything options checked.

That most of us dont even have 4.4.4 and LG gets 5.0 already i think
[Xperia Z2 General] mariosraptor:
Exactly. Let's when Sony will make that possible for us.
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
Well it looks like Sony's just getting started on 5.0.

They're still sorting out bugs and issues with 4.4.4.

Software development is Sony's most notable weak point. They take way too long to get their kit out. Nothing new there.

Pretty impressive from LG but considering they launched their full software suit months ago with the G3, all they have to do is update the core android platform. Same story with Samsung and HTC but Sony launched its complete software for this year in September and are still polishing it up. Android L is still months away unfortunately!

So big news today is that the official OEM metal bands are now available, but where and how? I read posts saying things like ATT has them, but I think they just mean if you order online and wait a week for delivery? I want to see this thing in person before I hand over my money. Does anyone know when BB or any other store will actually carry these?
[Moto 360] Supermade:
I ordered mine from AT&T. I definitely recommend buying the metal band, though if you decide on buying the leather band, it's equally as good. Just walk into a store and order it!

Ok so you have to order it online then
[Moto 360] sky high:
Yea AT&T and I think Verizon are supposed to have them too eventually probably not till after next week though. In my area even leather band motos are still sold out everywhere so online might be your best bet depending on the availability in your area.
