[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
I recently switched from the haedware keys to the software keys (navigation bar) and it has all gome without a hitch for the most part. The issue im having is that the navigation bar doesnt show up in landscape mode, just a thin black bar, I know its not a minimized version because tapping it where buttons would be does nothing. I have some screenshots showing the issue:

This is the issue, as you can see on the right theres a thin vertical black bar.

I found enabling the horizontal while in landscape using gravitybox works

And heres the status bar normally

Also on a little bit of a side note, I cant get the navring to come up, ive read that might be a rom only thing, is it possible to get or is it something that needs an unlocked BL or the like.

[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
Is the KitKat phone on ART or dalvik?
[Nexus 5 General] sn1p3r6992:
It is on dalvik, fresh install. I was thinking of doing a more in depth video but I had to send the phone back as the other was a warranty. Also, I just got my dslr and still learning and toying with it :D
[Nexus 5 General] mbellot:
Nice comparison, thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] Anderson2:
Am I seeing correctly : in some things kitkat dalvik is actually faster?

With all the app problems 5 is having, doesn't seem worth the upgrade.
[Nexus 5 General] Blackbox421:
For me, KitKat is overall faster. The animations in lollipop are nice, but.. It slows everything down.
[Nexus 5 General] Clienterror:
Just an idea, turn off animations on both so they don't slow loading and other things. I put my n5 with 5.0 to no animations and its insanely fast. I'm not sure how it compares to KK with animations off but it definitely made lollipop fly.
[Nexus 5 General] Bl4ckX:
I noticed a performance decrease with Lollipop aswell. My Nexus 4 running PA 4.6 is now even faster when opening apps than my Nexus 5 running Stock 5.0. At the moment I am actually thinking about downgrading back to 4.4.4 with PA, as I can get most of the usefull features using third party apps anyways.
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
lol..lollipop got beaten by system running the slowest version of dalvik known to man.. goggles version
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
disable the animations. i never use them, its much faster without them.
[Nexus 5 General] DadOudidOuda:
Would be nice to see a comparition on devices with a bunch of apps installed and used daily for a week or so. Clean installs always run smoother and faster.
[Nexus 5 General] Bl4ckX:
I can do such a video with my N4&N5 and I am pretty sure the N4 will beat the N5

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashanrath:
Hi all,

I apologise in advance if this has been answered somewhere here before, but I couldn't find anything on Google or using the forum search.

Background:

I usually have USB connection set to Media device (MTP) and this works for 99% of devices. The one thing that's causing me issues is the USB connection on a Hyundai i30. As soon as it is connected, it starts to scan for music to play. However after approx 5 seconds the connection drops, then it attempts to reconnect again. This causes the radio to toggle off in the car repeatedly each time it tries to reconnect and worse, ends up draining the battery on the N5 instead of charging it.

Current Workaround:

I've been able to avoid the issue by deselecting both MTP and PTP in the USB connection settings which allows the phone to charge properly.

TL/DR - Hoping for an easier way to change USB mode:

Does anyone know of any widget that exists that can toggle this from the homescreen? It's a pain to have to go all the way to USB connection each time I have to get in the car, then to remember to change it again next time I'm using anything else. Bootloader unlocked and rooted BTW.
[XDA Assist] DaStickyNote:
Okay, this is going to be the biggest NOOB question ever in all the existance of humanity and farther, but...

How do you unmount the internal storage/SD card inside of the Kindle Fire Generation 2?

Sorry for the extreme NOOB but.. couldn't find the option.
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi,

I'm not sure I understand. Can you specify what you are attempting? You definitely do not want to unmount your internal SD usually.... Anything in it would be inaccessible. Definitely not a good idea.

Perhaps I misunderstand your question?

Thanks!

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] Adigital:
I have my MDA C3 for about 3 weeks now. I have unlocked it and already bricked it once. Thanks to this forum I got it back to live flashing with the original T-Mobile UK Rom.

Reading this forum I am in big doubts wheter I should do anything with it or not. Lot's of problems with memory card and bricked devices, several versions of roms that I don't know what the differences are.

I used to flash my XDA Exec very often and ended with Crossbow on it. There were visible improvements in each rom version. In regards to the MDA C3 I have to admit that my XDA has never been so fast and reliable as the MDA. Now I am asking myslef why did I try to flash MDA if I had no problems with it? I guess it's only that when it comes to M$ there is always something to improve.

Now I'm happy having MDA working as before. No hangs, no SD problem (so far), quick in almost any task. Basically I am a bit frightened to touch it again (mean flashing). And my question is what am I missing really? Would be very appreciated knowing what you think.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reed930:
I successfully rooted my phone yesterday. While trying to get tethering to work, I somehow corrupted the operating system. In one of my more spastic moves, while trying to get things working again, I managed to erase the entire operating system. The only thing I have on the phone now is unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery.

I tried reinstalling the latest Sprint RUU through both adb and SD card. No luck, I get error messages each time. And whenever I try to boot normally, the phone freezes with a white screen and HTC logo until the battery runs out. Any ideas what can be done, or is the phone dead? Thanks for any help.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Download a ROM on your PC (ViperOne is my favorite) and put it onto your external sd card. With your phone off, hold down the power button + vol down. This will take you to fastboot. From there, using the volume keys, navigate to hboot and press the volume button. then navigate to recovery, and press volume. You should be able to flash the ROM from there.

EDIT: If the phone is on, hold power+ vol up to force the phone to reboot (takes 20 seconds or so), then AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK, slide you finger from vol up to vol down. Then follow the steps from there.

Thanks very much. I'm downloading the Venom ROM right now. Just a couple of questions though. Do I have to update the firmware before loading the Venom ROM? If so, can you explain how? Second, from your instructions, I can't tell if I'm installing the ROM directly from bootloader or through TWRP? Thanks again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Firstly, you should use the reply function on a post if you want a response. That way the person you are responding to will get a notification. I just kinda stumbled back onto this thread.

What was your firmware before? Chances are you'll need new firmware if you are asking. If you go to hboot/fastboot, it will tell you under OS. If it is blank, it will be because your recovery is outdated and we can tell by the hboot number. 3.16=4.4.2 ~3.18=4.4.3 ~ 3.19=4.4.4. The OS number would be more useful though.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reed930:
Thank you so much. It was a piece of cake, and the Venom ROM is so much nicer than stock. I can't believe I spent hours trying to unsuccessfully flash the stock ROM when I could have upgraded to Venom so easily. And also thank you for your recommendation of the Venom ROM. It keeps what I like about Sense but is a much nicer experience.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shustedm:
I'm new here and looking to get the Tab S 10.5 to replace my laptop.

1. Am i able to torrent a movie on the Tab S and then move it to a micro sd card I put in the tablet? I'm looking to buy the Tab S to replace my laptop as I'm getting a work laptop (which I cannot torrent on for obvious reasons). This would be a deal breaker as I'm trying to substitute the Tab S for my failing laptop but I thought I read somewhere that you cannot write/transfer files to the Micro SD on KitKat without rooting as I'd prefer not to root. Can I also move it to a usb flash drive connected through OTG.

2. Can I take photos from my camera's micro sd, connect to the Tab S through OTG cable and then transfer to the Tab S's micro SD? I'm doing some traveling soon and this is key. Also is there any good photo organizer app to sort the photos on the micro sd?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aldrighi:
yes you can do heavy torrent. you'll not save/seed torrents directly on SD unless rooted but you can save/seed it in the internal storage and move the finished files wherever you want just using the native file manager.

typical concerns are charge, storage, heating, cpu usage. it depends of your needs. use external hds if needed.

I wouldn't recommend any organizer by this time. the stock is ok for my needs.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aami.aami:
1- YES u can torrent as much as like. its rather more of a joy to do this on a tablet than say, Laptop or even desktop. cause of low power usage. i personally have a Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 i got very cheap, used, and i download all the movies on that. including some of the BR Rips, over and above 20+Gb as i have a 64Gb SD card installed on the tab. and its NOT rooted! u just need to change the download location for torrents. i use uTorrent app. i start it at night, and by morning, if its too big of a file. wifi speeds are also excellent for the tap.

transferring files to the PC are as easy as it gets. just connect to pc and transfer the files. THATS IT!

2- yes u can do that no problem! personally i would recommend u, to get ur sd card, and format it FROM UR TAB, BEFORE installing into any camera of yours, DSLR or whatever u got. that way, ur tab would have read the card before and u would have no problems after that. just take as many pictures as u want and then take out the card from ur camera and install in tab and watch those images on dat EXCELLENT display of ur Tab S

u know the best thing about ANdorid is how easy it is to transfer data. i personally had AIR 2 in my mind, but i hate the GRANDMA SIMPLE and BORING UI and above all, iTUNES! i hate that!

hope i helped a bit.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsmoller10:
I have already tried rooting the Verizon Galaxy S5 with towelroot. It is giving me the message,"Phone isn't currently supported." I have tried using the different codes for the modstrings but it keeps giving me the same message. I am on android 4.4.4 so that is probably the issue. I am wondering if there is a fix or a different method of rooting the Verizon Galaxy S5. I would prefer a method that does not delete my data and lets me keep all my stuff.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
You have to flash the NCG kernel through Odin, use Towelroot, install SuperSU from the Play Store and flash the kernel of the version you are on right now back.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsmoller10:
Awesome! Thaks! Does this delete any of my data? Also, why do I need SuperSU?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
No, it will not mess up your data. However, I would always suggest backing everything up, because just as any other software mod, things CAN go wrong, even if they should not. You can't be too careful, but you can certainly not be careful enough. And you want SuperSU to manage superuser permissions. Towelroot will install the SU binary, but without anything telling it what is ok to allow and what is not could allow for a malicious program to use those permissions against you.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zer0day:
Hi

I've noticed an odd problem the last few days, my phone vibrator suddenly stops working. It'll work for a bit and then suddenly stop and then start again without any apparent pattern. I downloaded the Sony Diagnostics app and it fails the vibration test when this happens - the problem is system wide.. The only recent things that I have done with the phone is wash it briefly after using it with dirty hands and changed my sim to go from 3G to 4G. I don't have any other issues with the phone, a restart doesn't always solve the problem

Anyone come across this before?

Edit: fix title

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zer0day:
Seems like this is a common problem across the Xperia line of devices, there's quite a few threads about other devices with similar problems. Usually giving my phone a shake brings the vibrator back to life for a short while. It's starting to seem like it doesn't work more often than it does

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zer0day:
It must be a hardware problem if giving a shake brings it back, it sounds like there's something lose inside although I don't know if that's just how the vibrator is designed to give it space to vibrate or something else. Sony have recommended I send it in for evaluation, gonna be a pain

I have been having the same issue with my xperia z3. Vibration stops working when typing or spamming home and back button at random times . I can't see any pattern to it nor any reasonable explanaition to why this is happening. I have never let water come near my phone, nor have I ever rooted it. A tap on the bottom right corner always fixes the issue until the next time it happens. Has anyone found a permanent fix or what the root of the problem is? I feel reluctant to send my phone for repair as it would definitely take more than two weeks. I am also worried that once they open it for a repair it will never be waterproof again. As I can see, a large number of people are affected. Any solution?

When vibration stop to work, you had to shake your device. So, the vibration will work again... :rolleyes:

I just had this problem a 2 weeks ago and today while writing message. 2 weeks ago, it just stopped working - so i rebooted device and it started working again. Today, it stopped working, so i just tapped back of phone, and it was working again. After a while it stopped working again, so i rebooted it and it's working fine for now but i saw a long time ago that sometimes that vibrations are randomly losing, and sometimes, that vibrations just feels and sound "weird". Specially when then phone is turned with screen upside down (that situaton happened to me every time when was laying in bed, on side or on back). I can't send it to support, i dont have any other phone that i can use as my backup phone... Ofc phone is rooted, xposed too, MM installed, and it had meet succesfully without any problem with normal water. Im washing it sometimes under stream of tap water, checking before that every side its closed properly...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcarlsberg:
I also have a similar problem in my SGP621.

After I read some of the earlier reply in this thread. I try to shake my SGP621 up and down in vertical position. I can hear something like component inside my SGP621 is shaking too. Something like you shake the dice inside a glass or bottle.

The vibrator works temporary, at first. Then I shake again. Everytime the vibrator seems to stop working, I shake it again. About 3-4 times of shaking, the vibrator seems to work normal up to now.

I think this is a temporary solution also. You can give it a try to make your vibrator works for a longer time.
