Playing with private mode and can't figure out a way to lock down apps. Not trying to hide them but trying to secure them and requiring the fingerprint scanner to unlock them. Similar to the smart lock app.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
your volume keys should be disabled when the screen is off. unless you are using an app that enables them, or have an rom option enabling them.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
I think op is asking about disabling volume keys when screen is ON, but locked. (when screen is off, yes, those are disabled)

To add to that, a locked screen should not permit anyone from enabling/disabling WiFi/BT/MobileData etc - but Android 5.0 lets them.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albert_htc:
For me when the screen is locked the volume keys appear to work.

I'll have to test this again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
a ROM or completely stock?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albert_htc:
Stock ROM.

Found out what the issue is. I've got a new case on my phone and it activates the smart lock when it closes..

Looks like as its new its not closing tight so the screen is still on and the volume keys work.

If I make sure its shut tight its fine.:eek:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] craigsad77:
I have had a t-mobile vario 2 for the last 5 months. when I first got the phone I was excited to get the hsdpa activated and quickly phoned up tmobile and got through to a tech guy who activated it. I didnt really notice much speed improvement and tmobile only shows the 3g and not the h for hsdpa, but I was pretty happy with my speeds of around 70kbit/sec (tested through http://text.dslreports.com/myspeed?jisok=1). I downloaded fieldtest_157 which showed that I was connected to hsdpa but the values showed through hsdpa cqi status were very low.

after the activation I started getting the dreaded freeze that only a soft reset could fix and missed loads of calls. about 1 month ago I was suddenly unable to go online whenever my phone went into 3g mode, I was only able to when it switched to gsm. I phoned tmobile to get the freeze problem fixed. they said it was a known issue with the phone and made me permenantly switch my phone to the gsm network. I was basically told that my phone does not support 3g and hangs on switching from gsm to 3g for no apparent reason and that they were working on the problem. they must have done something on their side because when I switched to phone back on to auto network switching, I got gsm and 3g connectivity and downloads but not hsdpa (checked with fieldtest_157)

next day because I was unhappy with the download speed I phoned tmobile and asked for hsdpa reactivation. the first level ignorant pleb who answered made me hang on and reactivated hsdpa. same problem cant download except on gsm switch. rephoned tmobile and got through to another 2nd level tech guy and explained all my connection problems.he said that my phone had never been hsdpa connected and connected it for me.:eek: what do you know Im suddenly getting 950kbit/sec speeds and hsdpa cqi status shows all high teens or 20's. for some reason my battery is lasting allot longer and 5 months after getting the phone Im happy. my phoned hasnt hanged yet either.

moral of the story is to download fieldtest_157 from:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Utils

and check hsdpa status because either lots of bull is being told to tmobile customers or there are some pretty stupid people working there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kevino:
While this may be good for you I'm not sure if it is the solution for everyone.

When I first got my Vario II in August I was getting 300Kbps downloads. 5 minutes after phoning them it was 1.3Mbps, even though the girl said she didn't know what the problem could be (she did speak to someone in technical though).

For the last two or so weeks HSDPA has been very intermittent. Most dns requests fail. And if I am lucky enough to get a stable connection, speedtests show around 150Kbps

Fieldtest shows

CQI...1 3

........2 1

.....3-8 0

........9 4

......10 1

After reading another post here, suggesting that a solution may be to disable HSDPA, I get almost perfect Internet access, allbeit with lower data speeds of on average 280Kbps.

Surely if HSDPA was not enabled on my SIM, then it would be how it originally was and I would just connect with UMTS at around 300Kbps, not connect with HSDPA and not be able to do anything.

But I'll phone them, again, and ask for a HSPDA reactivation anyway.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kevino:
Actually, thinking about my scepticism.

I was recently in Singapore using a prepaid SIM which does not have 3G access. The phone kept connecting to the 3G signal and then reported 'no service'. Obviously after selecting GSM only everything was fine.

So perhaps there is a similar kind of problem here. Whether the fault is with the phone or network(s) I don't know. I did try radio 1.06, which I believe was the original shipped version but that was the same.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chamelion:
i'm so glad i read this!! just called up t-mobile, they activated my HSDPA (thought it was just on by default)!.

tests so far showing 1.3 mbit download speed, i'll try in my home area too later tonight.

I'm seeing the "H" icon, not the "3" icon. using the latest HTC ROM that came out in january, not the default t-mobile one.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] smads:
My hsdpa IS active. I get approx 90kbit/sec downloads on T-Mobile and I see a '3G' icon not a 'H'
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] craigsad77:
I was getting intermittent hsdpa also and dns failures (except in gsm) and getting really fraustrated. I was going to ask for deactivation. Luckily the technician I spoke to (about the tenth person in 3 days) that eventually got me connected, new his stuff. He tried to trick me into admitting that I was using my phone as a modem for my computer and only connected me after I denied it. It might sound like conspiracy theory but I got the feeling that he only connected me when it sounded like I knew slightly more than the average Joe. My hsdpa connection has been faultless ever since. Getting consistently high speeds even with 1 bar. high speeds is not 90kbit/sec smads!! and even worse dns failure.

I had similar fieldtest numbers before my proper activation. now all much higher.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chamelion:
just ran a few more tests on this...

i manually set the phone to 3G instead of HSDPA (tool is somewhere in this forum). speed was about 280kbit.

HSDPA on and i get between 700 and 1200kbit. not as fast as the original 1300 i benchmarked earlier, but still great :)
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitts2010:
I have a XT1064, the Canadian retail version though.

I unlocked my boot loader, installed the US retail version of Kit Kat, and then side loaded the Lollipop OTA update to it.

It all works perfectly, except, the cellular part of the phone does not work. No data, no phone, no texts.

I have the Kit Kat Canadian image, can I use the cellular drivers from that?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRhor:
WRONG thread. Read the rules before posting.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitts2010:
What forum is the right one?

You should be more clear about what forums are for what content so casual posters and reader know what each forum is for.

I posted here as the development forum is for ROMs that differ from stock, and doing this would involve changes to the stock ROM.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRhor:
I, or anyone else for that matter, should tell you to read the rules of the forum first. That is just common sense.

"Android Development" CLEARLY refers to DEVELOPMENT of ROMs and Kernels.

Did you see that there is a section called "G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting"?, perhaps that is the right one?.

Next time, do your homework, read the rules and use common sense, otherwise you are going to be flamed constantly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hamglass:
So I have been trying to root my samsung phone but it has not been working. I tried downloading towel root, but it says that my phone is not supported. My phone is running build number KOT49H.I545VRUFNG6 and android 4.4.2 with kernel version 3.4. I have tried using Odin 3.09 to flash the NG5 build number to see if towelroot would work with that, but when I plugged my phone into my computer and tried going into download mode on my phone, it would not work. I already factory reset my phone twice to see if that would work, but it has not. Are there any other ways to root my phone, or am I doing something obviously wrong that is easy to fix? Any help would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EisBlade:
hamglass - TowelRoot won't root NG6; you will continue to receive that "not supported" error message every time unless you downgrade. Go to this link below, and then scroll down until you find the section I pasted below the link. You'll want to download the second file, the NC5 rar, then follow the steps prescribed.

______________________

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2720163

All you need to do is download one of the following 2 all in one upgrade rar files:

I545VRUFNC2-AIO-incl-modem-hlos-nobootloaders-gogolie.rar

or

I545VRUFNC5-AIO-incl-modem-hlos-nobootloaders-gogolie.rar

Each .rar file when unpacked (NC2 or NC5 .rar files must be unpacked!) contains the following apps / odin flashable images:

Odin 3.10 (The newest and best option for Odin.)

SuperSu 1.94 (IN both a flashable thru Safestrap .zip and a .apk - thanks to Chainfire)

SafeStrap 3.72 (Thanks to Hashcode)

SeLinux Permissive Enabler / Mode Changer 1.2 (Thanks to MrBIMC)

TowelRoot v2 (Huge Thanks to geohot)

Android Terminal Emulator v1.0.53.apk

and finally...

I545VRUFNCx-AIO-incl-modem-hlos-nobootloaders-gogolie.tar

YOU CAN KEEP THE ODIN PROGRAM AND FLASHABLE FILE ON YOUR COMPUTER BUT MOVE ALL APKS TO PHONE OR SDCARD 1ST.

which is the magic file you select in Odin under AP slot and press flash to upgrade without bootloaders. This is a modified Odin image I made that also includes a .pit for mapping itself and a modem/hlos so its essentially a 1 and done file! You might need to boot into recovery and do a data wipe if you receive any FC's or issues on 1st boot (then restart and should be good to go). This is a no-wipe odin flashable image with no bootloaders or other crap just firmware and system.img and modem.

Directions to enable Root on NC2 or NC5 stock ROM & to get SafeStrap fully working:

1. Flash the odin image in AP slot for either system you want to upgrade to. (NO BOOTLOADERS OR GARBAGE FLASHED!)

2. Boot up system. If any errors occur restart to recovery (vol-up and power) then wipe data and restart. Or wipe data before flashing!

3. Once booted open TowelRoot.apkl and install and run the app. Then click on the T logo/gray box to root 4.4.2! NO REBOOT REQUIRED!!! [EisBlade: not mentioned is that it's necessary to click the box in settings to allow installs from unknown sources. Do that then return and retry install of TowelRoot apk.]

4. Now open the SeLinux Permissive Enabler / Mode Changer 1.2.apk and install the app. Open the application and click the "Permissive" box.

5. Next install Safestrap and open the app. Click install Recovery once booted. Then you can flash SuperSu .zip like normal in Safestrap. You can also also install from the Playstore or from the .apk in the AIO .rar file. However SuperSu isnt necessary its useful if you intend on controlling your ROOT.

6. Finally for a custom ROM you would reboot to Safestrap and install it in the Main/Stock Slot. Keep root by following any ROM install with SuperSu.zip!!!

7. Enjoy the easiest upgrade method known to man. Be sure and donate or thank, me or one of the fine developers mentioned above.

[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
What the post above says and...

The only rom so far that installs the kernel is Barren v3.

Or you can get the flashable stock kernel from the Stock ZV4 ROM thread.

I'll be updating all those to include the kernel shortly. I had to wait for Bump to include it.
[Sprint LG G3] crazycori:
I did but it wasn't booting no matter what I installed. I just used the LG Flash tool and reverted back to stock and re-rooted, wasn't too horrible.

A bit bummed out that the build doesn't work as of yet. I do have a lot of respect for the developers for the AOSPA projects. Keep up the good work fellas, I have faith in you guys!

Always annoying when you've gotta go that route, that's strange that your backup didn't work though

I don't know what went wrong when I was installing GPE to my phone.

The first photo is the phone disconnected from my computer.

The second photo is when its connected to my computer.

Please help me!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Th3Bill:
Which GPE is it?

Steps you took when installing the GPE rom?

Are you able to get into recovery?

What ROM were you on before?

Need as much info as you can give about how you got here...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Batista315:
I have the rooted GPE.

I followed the steps in a YouTube video which I can't link because I'm too new (/watch?v=WEouT7eV8UA), up unto where it says failed. I did what the video said and tried again, but all I got was "FAILED (remote: 41 model id check fail)" over and over.

The only things I can do are the things in the two pictures.

I was on Sense 6.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Th3Bill:
Curious...why didn't ya just flash one of the GPE editions that are on here? Captain has Lollipop GPE working right now.

BTW....if you ARE on Sprint, you missed the spot 30 seconds into the video stating very clearly (GSM Phones Only. No CDMA). No CDMA=No Sprint...at least for the files that video lists.

Need to RUU back to sense. Thread by OMJ here in Development section.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Batista315:
Thank you soooooo much. I'm just bad with reading instructions, I'm better with video so I didn't go anywhere else other than YouTube, and the guy said it worked with Sprint so I kept going. Also, sorry if I'm asking for too much. I don't understand much if this website, and I have no clue where to find those.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Th3Bill:
Gonna need to change your CID again. I would say change it to 11111111.

Thread is HERE ==> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2729173

Use the one labeled Sprint_HTC_One_M8_3.30.651.2_RUU.zip

They provide great instructions in the OP.

Once you RUU back to sense, if you want best of both worlds, flash CaptainThrowback's TWRP from here http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...WRP-Recovery-v2-8-1-standard-TWRP-(exFAT-test)

Then flash his kernel http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...-M8-VARIANTS-BeyondStock&#7488;&#7481;-v2-1-0

Then go to MultiROM thread http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/multirom-v28-unofficial-port-t2884413

And you can add in a GPE ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2762336 on page 103 or 104, he posts a GPE Lollipop that has working data, etc) to your setup and have it to where you can boot into either Sense or GPE when you power on your device.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Batista315:
I can't do any of that because my device isn't being found on my computer.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Th3Bill:
RUU isn't seeing the device? Have you tried pressing the power button when the phone is highlighting the "RUU" from the first pic you posted?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Batista315:
Nevermind. I changed the CID, I was just doing something wrong.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Th3Bill:
No problemo
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Batista315:
Ok. Also, if I just want one rom instead of a multi, how does that work?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Th3Bill:
Still need to fastboot flash a custom recovery (can still use the TWRP recovery I linked). Then just download rom, reboot to recovery, wipe, and flash the rom.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Batista315:
2 questions now.

1. Will I be able to get OTAs? I'm installing GPE so I can get Lollipop next week so I would like to know very much,

2. How do I fastboot flash boot image?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
1. No, to get an OTA you have to be on stock android with stock recovery. Lollipop is being released for GPe devices (GPe is only for GSM carriers. Sprint is not a GSM carrier) this week. There will be ports but it won't be the official Lollipop update. The Lollipop OTA for Sprint devices will come later on.

2. If you're talking about a recovery.img, follow the steps below.

Step 1 - First install ADB & Fastboot using [MENTION=4638083]Snoop05[/MENTION]'s installer - Click Here (SKIP If you already have ADB/Fastboot accesss on your computer).

Step 2 - Download the latest TWRP recovery for the Sprint M8 from Here

Step 3 - If you're on Windows, navigate to where the location of the downloaded custom recovery and rename it to recovery.img

Step 4 - Wherever the download is located, Left click an empty space then inside the folder, hold Shift + Right click and click on "Open command window here" and minimize the command prompt

Step 5 - Put your phone into Fastboot mode. Turn it off, hold the Power + Volume Down button. Once the bootloader screen turns on, use the volume keys to navigate to "FASTBOOT" and press the power button.

Step 6 -Connect your phone to the computer and on the phone, it should say "Fastboot USB"

Step 7 - Open up the command prompt again and type in: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Step 8 - You now have a custom recovery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MrBillH:
Hello All,

Here is my situation - hopefully there is someone out there that can give me a little help.

I unlocked the boot loader using HTC method, installed TWRP, and then SuperSU. I did a backup with the TWRP, everything was working ok - except I kept getting an error message about the binaries being out of date on the SuperSu. Every time I tried to update them the the update would fail. So.... I went to the play store and installed an updated SuperSu, still no luck same issue.

About that time in the middle of a reboot - the phone got to the white HTC screen and just froze. Finally held the power button down till it started to reboot - got it into recovery and restored the backup. Same issue - goes to white screen and stops - I have left it for over a half hour -nothing...???

I have tried multiple ways of restoring the backup as far as wiping the cach, ect - still nothing.

Help!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MrBillH:
Here is a quick update on this

I can still get into recovery - I can mount the sd card and transfer to it and I can still use ADB. so... I found a stock rom flash that was 3.15.651.6 copied it to the sd card then flashed it. Now the phone continually tries to boot reboot, gets to the white screen before going into fast boot - freezes then reboots itself.

Is it a brick? Any suggestions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fizbanrapper:
What is your hboot version? Are you s-off? What version of twrp are you on, and more importantly, where did you get the twrp from?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MrBillH:
Thanks for responding!

HBOOT - 2.09.0000

S-On

TWRP - 2.4.1.0

Radio 1.13.11.0030

OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0015 EMMC-Boot

I got the TWRP from a Windriod setup I had used previously to set up old 4g lte about a year ago.

At this point I would be happy to just put it all back stock and then start over. I have never used a RUU but I have read you can install them from fastboot after running a few commands to make it recognize the phone. Has anyone ever done that?

Also - how would I know I was getting the correct RUU for this phone and where would I get it from?
