[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Conficker:
Would like to know the answer to this issue, also if anyone knows how to change from high accuracy mode to use GPS only. I understand you can change modes by selecting it, however when I restart it defaults back to high accuracy mode.

I was wondering if it is possible to change the DNS settings on the Nexus 7 like you can on the Xbox one and Playstation 4? it would allow me to access the american version of netflix :D

Anyone know?

Maybe but a VPN would be a better choice. Private Internet Access is what I use.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skb_twiz:
Hi XDA!!

Today I am reporting quite an annoying bug in the Xposed Framework... enabling the framework shuts down WIFI and prevents toggling it (the switch is always grey)...

already it took a lot of pluck when I decided to sacrifice S Health in my Galaxy S5 SM-G900H for the sake of using Xposed as it made S health crash on start... Now it even hates my WIFI...

This issue has become persistent and has forced me to uninstall Xposed from my device...

I would seriously appreciate and co-operate with all replies that are useful... I expect and hope to get help here...

Xposed is one of the best things to happen to Android customization and I wish to use it to its full potential... Please be kind enough to help me...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] R3in:
So here is my issue. I updated my android on my Xpreia U St25i to KitKat and in the prossess I had to unlock my Bootloader and now I cannot lock it. I tryind flashing it with flashtool with many ftfs that I found on the internet but the result is always the same. After the flash the phone does not start. I click the power button but the led flashes for a sec in green light and thats it. It seems like the phone is stuck into flash mode. If anyone has any ideas, phease help!

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
You unlock the bootloader to enable boot custom kernels not made by Sony. If you relock it won't boot custome kernels because the bootloader is "locked" to boot Sony kernels only.

You wank kitkat, bootloader must be unlockedm and there is no real reason you will want to relock your phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] R3in:
Well one thing is that I cannot update my PC Companion to a newer version so I cannot restore a backup and I read that this is because of the unlocked bootloader. Also there are occasional reboots of the phone with no particular reason.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
PC companion is updated regardless of your bootloader, it will update without a phone being connected.

I don't think you can restore backups to custom non-tock-based ROMs with PCC anyway, you must choose stock(or custom stock-based) or custom ROM.

If you want to re-lock, you must use stock ROM and kitkat does not work with it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] R3in:
OK than. Thank you, and one more thing, does Jellybean work work with stock ROM ? Will I be able to relock the bootloader?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
I don't understand the question, what kind of jellybean work?

If you mean custom non-stock based ROMs like CyanogenMod than no.
[XDA Assist] RepeatUntilTheEnd:
I have a stock Moto X 2014 (Verizon) and a Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) running Lollipop. On the gnex's initial boot I used the Bluetooth device setup and now I get a persistent notification on the X from google play services that says "New device setup complete" and shows the date and time of transfer. I can't figure out why this keeps coming up after I reboot. I've found that I can remove it by going into the app maintenance and hiding notifications, but it can't be swiped away and comes back on boot. Any ideas?

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bchow:
I tried rooting my htc one m7 a long time ago and it ended up fine. I had TWRP on it and it used to sometimes get hungup on bootloading over again and again. This time I think I accidentally wiped my OS from my phone. The only thing my phone can do now is go into bootloader mode. Thats it.

it has the TamperedRelocked on it. I've tried so many things but cant seem to find the correct RUUs or ROMs for it. Is my phone completely bricked or can I take it somewhere where someone can fix it, can i pay to have someone here fix it or just tell me to get a new phone?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Unlock bootloader again,flash twrp,adb push a rom zip to your device.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gintariukeas:
I have 1st gen iPad mini. I'd like to sell it and buy note 8.0, but i have some doubts:

1) I would mainly use it for learning: reading, marking the books. Note's resolution is not the best, but i quess it won't hurt my eyes as much as iPad does, right?

2) What battery life can i expect if i am willing to use greenify, debloater and other stuff of that nature?

3) Won't tablet be quite boring if i already have exellent android phone that can run all the apps/ games i can imagine?

4) Any other thoughts? Would you do that?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] abbygirl:
in a hot second

I use my note 8.0 all the time. My battery lasts all day even with the heavy use. If you have had an Apple Ipad, this will not bore you. This is such a huge improvement over the ipad, you will be kicking yourself for not getting it sooner. I have a Note 10.1, and a Samsung S5 and I still love my note 8.0
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sputnik767:
1. If you have the original iPad Mini, it's resolution is as crappy as the Note 8. If that one hurts your eyes, so will this one. I suspect it's not resolution but just looking at an LCD screen for a long time does not work well for you

2. None of that crap will do anything for your battery life, don't even bother. Battery life is actually OK, but nothing like the iPad Mini retina or the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 for example. The Note 8 is running like 2+ year old hardware after all. It's not the fault of Android or what Samsung did with it regarding the relatively poor battery life, but the simple fact that older hardware is less efficient. Nothing you can do in software will make an appreciable difference.

3. Nobody can tell you whether or not you'll be bored. But I am assuming that you are an adult and are considering buying this tab because you need it for marking up books, etc, based on your post. If you are looking for something to play games, I can't help you there. Although I would wonder why you care about these things on a device that you know is very old and was never intended as a fun device but as a productivity device.

4. Let me start out by saying that I have both the Note 8 and the iPad mini retina. I bought the Note 8 when it first came out for the same reason as you, something to mark up books and take note in medical school. My issues with the Note are that it really doesn't make good use of the pen due to poor apps. The S-Note app is pretty terrible and unfortunately there is nothing better out there. The pen is also not very accurate, especially with the latest update. As a tablet though, it is a good tablet, and due to having 2 GB of RAM, it actually runs better in some respects that my iPad. But battery life is nowhere near close. If the app Notability was available on Android, the Note 8 would be the perfect tablet. I am now in residency, and the hospital bought all of us the iPads. My Note has been a glorified alarm clock since then. That is not to say that the iPad is perfect by any means, I am actually very unimpressed with it, but unless a decent app such as Notability comes to Android, the Note 8 isn't very useful beyond just as an Android tablet. I am actually very impressed at how bad S-Note is and little effort Samsung put into actually making use of the pen in this tab.

In conclusion, if you decide to sell your iPad mini for Android tablet, I would pass on the Note 8. Personally, I would go with the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 or the iPad Mini Retina.

super.onOptionsItemSelected will execute the onOptionsItemSelected function with parameter item in the "super" class your class extends from, eg Fragment/Activity/ActionBarActivity/FragmentActivity etc

With the code below what does that mean? and could you provide an example of what would happen if I selected an option other than search or settings? I am having trouble with what this all means in the grand scheme of things. I might be missing something basic so try to keep that in mind - I have little knowledge of java.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nextelbuddy:
I just did this last night on my nexus 9 and noticed a nice improvement in UI speed and less overall lag and stutter.

One thing I learned is you need to be UNLOCKED first. once yo have unlocked your bootloader then it will work fine. if you try to do this on a locked bootloader then it wont work.

the way i unlocked my bootloader the first time whch failed was I tried to use the Wugfresh toolkit option. it says it worked but it didnt. I had to boot back into the tablet and go to dev options and enable the OEM unlock option first and THEN use wugfresh toolkit to oem unlock which worked.

Shortly after I posted this, I stumbled across the GoneMAD Music Player. I've since stopped using the LG player and Rocketplayer PRO that I had paid for. GoneMAD works flawlessly, has an awesome interface with tons of customization options, sounds great, and sends full song data to my car stereo over bluetooth without fail.

Highly recommend it!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark_zuckerberg:
I hate the look of it. Same with any playstore music player it looks very dingy compared to lg stock player or play music. But the customization on this thing is insane. I may end up using it just for that reason.

[Galaxy Tab S General] aami.aami:
hi. im gonna buy one of these tablets. i will get the LTE model. im not decided on which one to get. i m really interested in bigger screen but smaller size. i personally am more interested in 8.4 one cause of its smaller size but again i like the RGB screen of 10.5. its really silly thing i know but pls advise me guys which one should i get? i know the perks and cons of both . but need advise. i want portability but also better screen.

which one should i get?

does 10.5 one have more better battery life than 8.4? gsmarena says otherwise...

and also pls share one more thing, i know most people would have bought the wifi only model, is there any android development like root, customs roms, recoveries etc available for the LTE version with Snapdragon chipset?
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Well i only get 8 amd a half of battery life on just watching videos on the galaxy tab s 10.5. While samsung claims 9 hours. I do not have an 8.4 but samsung claims 10 hours of it. Certainly not true as most people dont get that much. I belive there is no custom roms for snapdragon chipsets or root for both. So anyone with the 8.4 can share me your results? Heres what samsung claims of battery in the pictures below. Anyway the tab s is smooth with some lag here and there wiith touchwiz. Screen is amazing and still bright even in 1/4 brightness.
[Galaxy Tab S General] aami.aami:
thanks for ur reply. shouldn't the 10.5 version have more better battery than 8.4 cause of bigger batter size and just a 2" bump in screen with same res?

how about wifi browsing time? i browse a lot on the internet, surfing and also youtube. how much does it last with wifi on? and which version do u have? lte or wifi only?
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Yes the tab s does have a bigger battery. Not sure about the screen but it should be the same. It looks great even in direct sunlight at full brightness. I do exactky what you do lol. Surfing the internet, browsing, or other stuffs gets you 8 and a half hours with the screen being on all the time. That how much i get when it reaches 3percent with half bright. And thats with wifi and stuff on. Gaming drains a bit more but not by much. It does get a bit warm in gaming too. I have the wifi version exynos chipset.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Rage1ofakind:
I went for the 8.4". Its portable. Can use it while in bed more comfortably than the 10.5.

The reason why the 8.4" shows an hour more of Battery life is because there's less of that gorgeous screen
[Galaxy Tab S General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
ever seen the first 8inch tablets came out, I been a big fan of them. 7" a bit too small for me. Specially if it has nav bar because you lose some screen. and 10 inch to big..
[Galaxy Tab S General] interfreak:
8.4" is the perfect size for a tablet primarily used for media consumption. I've always been fond of this size, it is the sweet spot for usability, size and price.

If you intend to use it for word processing, or more work related activity than the 10.5 version is the way to go.
[Galaxy Tab S General] aami.aami:
yeah i will be getting the Tab 8.4 Lte one. i haven't bought it yet cause im desperately searching for Snapdragon variant. Adreno 330 is old but its better than Mali-T628MP6... if i could not find Snapdragon 800 one until Thursday, i will go for Exynos
[Galaxy Tab S General] aldrighi:
As I was looking to replace my 12" lapptop I choosed the 10. I would go for 12 if there is any.

also I have a note 3 5.5". no point for me to go 8".

is it better to watch movies in 10 rather than 8? definitely. is that a problem to hold 10 than 8? not to me.

do you have extra $ to spent?

you may have to consider all these aspects.
