[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] iSlaker:
thanks but, no launchers for me, thanks. with a 3rd party launcher I know that the stock one will still be running in the background and consuming resources. as far as I know there isn't a launcher that stops the stock one completely, is there?

I think the settings for the width and height for the home screen icons area as well as the apps drawer is in a file. I don't know which one and I was hoping someone would know that. I may create a new thread just for that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jvtrigo:
But to change that you need to have root access. This tread is about changing dpi without root access. If you are rooted I would try Note 5 or galaxy S7 launcher they may work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fahed2000:
so changing the dpi using this method doesnt affect the knox counter? also anyone can comment if this works on marshmallow
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1lazysheep:
i'm running 13.2 on a fire tv. it's connected to my home network through ethernet.

i can access it through any browser on my windows 8 computer connected to the same network (IP address:8080).

however, i can't seem to connect to it through the Yatse app on my phone. neither auto detection nor by entering in the IP and port manually work. the phone is connected through wifi on the same network. (Nexus 5, 4.4.4).

i've followed all the directions on this page to setup the fire tv: http://yatse.leetzone.org/redmine/p...#XBMC-Gotham-Version-13-Kodi-Helix-Version-14

i've also tried port forwarding through my router (2Wire 3600HGV)

i chose the IP address of the fire tv and forwarded the port 8080

tcp: 8080

udp: 8080

i wasn't sure of the application type so i left it blank. do i need to change it to one of the ones listed? did i miss something else?

i've also tried other ports (8111, 8181). still won't connect
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swiss_lis:
I forget the exact name, but in settings on XBMC are you sure you've allowed 'controlling device over webserver' and whatever other options there are. Basically enabling to allow to control the xbmc from external devices. As my Yatse picked up my AFTV as soon as i had it installed and running.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1lazysheep:
yes, i followed every step on the link i posted

Enabled: Allow control of XBMC via HTTP (in Webserver menu)

Enabled: Allow programs on this system to control XBMC (in Remote control menu)

Enabled: Allow programs on other systems to control XBMC (in Remote control menu)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vi6s:
Ok, it seems you got ATT and the dread ATT router/modem combo. This thing is notorious for setting up network. Here is a few things you can do. First, ping the FireTV. I see that you set a static IP for the FireTV. Check if that is the actual IP of the FireTV.

Go to System->System Info->Network. Check if the address is the same as the one that you set for static IP, then ping it. In Window, open command center and type ping <ip address of fire tv>

About port opening, you don't really need it. If this is intra-network within the same subnet domain (same WIFI for layman term), then opening port is not necessary.

Once you can ping the FireTV, you can test that the Webserver is working by open any browser. Type this in:

http://<ip address>:<port>

For example: mine is

http://192.168.1.55:8080

If you can access the webserver interface, then it means the network and firetv works like it supposed to be and the problem is with your phone.

Make sure that the phone is in the same WIFI, don't try to use mobile network to control the Fire TV. The port openning is too complicate and represent a security risk. Turns it off.

Also, I just want to note, sometimes the ATT router won't allow communication with static IP. This rarely happens, and it is a bug. What you want to do is to just let the router gives the FireTV its own IP address then use that address to set up.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1lazysheep:
thank you for the detailed reply.

you're right about the craptastic 2wire modem/router. i've had a ton of trouble setting up my network in the past

with that in mind, i decided to plug an old linksys directly (ethernet) to the 2wire. then i connected my phone's wifi to the linksys. i was able to connect yatse with the first try!

thanks again for the suggestions. :good:
[Note Edge General] MCube74:
I am thinking of getting the Galaxy Note Edge but I am confused which model to get.

The Korean Model has the Exynos CPU while the International Model has the Snapdragon CPU.

Which do you think will be a better option?

The only negative point about the Korean model is the useless Korean apps and Korean Text on the phone dialer.
[Note Edge General] jah:
I have the Snapdradon Note 4 and Exynos Edge and i do prefer the Exynos based Note. But i have no warranty as it is imported to the UK. If you are happy with that risk i recommend Exynos. Also check the LTE coverage for your location. In the UK on EE i appear to have Cat 6 LTE, which is good.
[Note Edge General] otacon888:
I have the Exynos Edge and the Snapdragon Note 4 and I find the Edge superior in every way.
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
I too have Note 4 snapdragon and the Exnyos Edge. Very impressed with the edge. I would not swap it for snapdragon model.

Yes you end up some useless Korean apps but uninstall most. Korean characters on the dialer is the only thing thats currently bothering me.
[Note Edge General] mhg2000:
Dear

I had the chance to use three models of the device

N-915S ||| N-915G ||| N-915F

the later models uses the snapdragon while the first uses the exynos.

I can say that the snapdrgon Edges are way better than the exynos. I had lag in the S model. Battery life is at least 20% better in the snapdragon. The only drawback is it gets heat more.

However we should consider that the S had an operator ROM which might causes the issues above.
[Note Edge General] jah:
No lag at all on my N915S and I also have a N910F ao an idea anout Snapdragon performance
[Note Edge General] avenk:
I have no lag at all on my Note Edge and I also prefer the Exynos version than the Snapdragon on my Note 4 :)
[Note Edge General] onours:
have the n915k (another korean variant like the s)

dont have lte in my country yet but I noticed with my previous note3 n9005 snapdragon if your 3G provider supports h+ (hspa or something) the connection is upgraded to H+ (and shown in the status bar as h+ instead of 3g)

with exynos unable to connect to 3g as h+ (same location same operator) hope this is a modem thing and could be fixed via custom or official update in the future coz h+ is definitively faster than 3g at least with my operator.

the Korean characters did also bug me so I had to install a 3rd party dialer
[Note Edge General] otacon888:
From my experience with the G906S...even if you are connected to H+ the icon still stays at 3G.
[Note Edge General] jah:
Correct. Just tested 13 mbps download speed when signal reported as 3G!
[Note Edge General] dennis nai:
same problem

I am very happy now after i install true dialer from play store just to get rid of thoes korean words
[Note Edge General] saifbukhari:
So OP, what did you bought? & hows your exp?
[Note Edge General] MCube74:
I bought the Korean N915S phone and I am very happy with it.

The performance is good as expected. I waiting for someone to find a way to get the Korean text out of the phone dialer but apart from that it is a great phone.

I am currently running Skyhigh rom from "UpInTheAir". Thanks for a nice rom. Hope he carries on with updates as new firmwares are released.

Here are some pictures of my phone.

Last week I got the S Charger cover for my Note Edge. I also put 3M protection for the phone body and back cover so that I don't need to put a case on. It is much easier to carry it without a case.
[Note Edge General] MSK1:
Korean version in the UK

if i buy the korean version... how can i use warranty in the UK?

Is it impssible - or just difficult?
[Note Edge General] jah:
No, I checked with Samsung UK

Where is lollipop for sm915s??

That makes it pretty pointless unfortunately. ...

I have this rooted kata fishtab 3 and I can't download a certain app it says there that the device is not compatible with it. So what I did was I tried to find a solution so I can download that app and I found 1 and I did the steps I changed the build.prop I changed that device name and all of the sudden after restarting my tablet I got stock with the CWmod I think they call it bootloop and I tried resetting the device to it's default or factory reset but there is an error message and I forgot it. And what I tried to do is try doing the rooting steps again but it's failed also after erasing the IDB I can't install the custom ROM and this is the error message I get "Download boot failed".Anyone here who can help me? Or my tablet is already bricked and no solution. Will you please tell me I'm kinda noob and I just bought this tablet :crying:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heyjhay:
hi there I've been installing a custom rom in a recovery mode before so i was surprised now with the new method i think of CM 11 nightlies because every time i try to download the zip file on their site it redirects me to download their installer which is new to me and i dont know how to use it? how can i install the Gapps with that installer?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Installer automatically installs the correct gapps file. Nightlies can only be flashed via recovery, not via the installer. Make sure you are downloading the zips from downloads.cyanogenmod.org (or something like that).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heyjhay:
Thank you very much for your time already have CM 11 now and it's working fine to me now except the battery because i think it drains fast than my stock rom also the keyboard is a little bit boldy to me
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Yes. Battery drain is quite common in the s2 with kitkat roms. This is due to the lack of drivers for our device. Reverting back to stock will make battey last as long as the original. You could experiment different roms too. Right now, i'm using slimsaber rom by fusionjack, so far battery is good. (Using it with combination of custom kernel).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heyjhay:
I think you're right that s2 is not compatible for cyanogen rom because I've been using this rom before but I'll remove it because of battery issues ill just try it again maybe the updates fix that issues but i think it's not but i like the feature and the look of their update but still the battery make sense to me anyway maybe I'll try other roms or back to stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CorynMidori:
I recently received a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III with android 4.4.2 from a friend, but it doesn't have Google play services, nor does it have Google play installed. I tried a factory reset but that didn't work and I found out you need a specific Google play services app or it wont work. The usb port is also broken so I cant hook it up to a computer. Please help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I

I have several play services apk files but I'm not on the locked bootloader. Unsure if it will work, I know where to find versions if your requesting a specific one

And that's very odd that it doesn't have play installed. Most come pre installed especially on a verizon rom

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CorynMidori:
He said he rooted it before and accidentally uninstalled Google play services and that he couldn't find the right one to reinstall either, so that's why it doesn't have it on there. Also, I need the right apk for my phone because I read that you need the one with a specific three number ending in the app version, but I don't know what mine is because my phone doesn't have the app so I can't check the last three numbers and I have tried a couple apks before but they didn't work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Unsure how to help then

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CorynMidori:
If someone that has a Verizon Galaxy s III running android 4.4.2 Kitkat could post a screenshot of the app info of Google play services, or just post the full version number from the app info under application manager, I would probably be able to find the right apk.

Here is a screen shot of play services, stock 4.4.2 Verizon S3.

I may be wrong, but if you get the play store installed won't it download and install play services? Is been awhile since I've had to mess with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CorynMidori:
I haven't tried installing google play store before trying to install services. Maybe it does download and install services, I'll have to try it. Thanks for the screenshot as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CorynMidori:
So I installed google play store 5.0.38, and when I open it the screen to either login in or create an account appears and I put in my info and hit sign in but a message appears (in attached screen shot) and i cant sign in but i can sign in to google through my browse, and I've tried my neighbors internet (with his consent) just to check its not just mine, but it doesnt work on my neighbors either. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Try installing Google play services...

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CorynMidori:
I just installed google play services (same one as roaddogg) but I am still getting the same error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] roaddog665:
I'm not home right now, but give me a bit and I will try and pull my play services and get it to you. Not having it may be your sign in problems.

Oops, just noticed the last couple posts. I can still get you mine if you need it. Also, check and see if play services is actually running.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CorynMidori:
Google play services is running, I'll attach a screenshot of it with this post. But if its not too much of a hassle, the apk from your phone might work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] roaddog665:
Sent you a PM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CorynMidori:
So thanks to talking with roaddog we were able to figure out that i didnt have them installed as system apps (I didnt know how, as i'm new to this) he told me how and once they were installed as system apps and after i rebooted, I signed in to my google account and it worked and so do all google apps!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Glad to hear it worked out, I had a feeling you needed play services installed which is why I suggested it. Roaddog thanks for helping with all of this

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Xevious2K:
Good afternoon all,

I've spent most of the afternoon trying to resolve the problem of entering an appointment on the PC at 2:00PM and having it show up on the Device at 1:00PM.

First, a little background.

My Device: A T-Mobile MDA

My Device OS: Faria v3.3, All up to date

My PC: Windows Vista, (I don't want to, I have to)

My Office: Office 2007

In my testing, I noticed that any appointment I enter in outlook prior to March 4, 2007 shows up correctly, On March 4th or beyond, They show up an hour earlier.

If I enter the appointment on the device, It would show up correctly in outlook.

I tried the MS DST Patch, Didn't do anything.

I tried the HTC DST Patch, Didn't do anything.

I tried changeing my time zone to Indiana, Didn't do anything

etc, etc, etc...

Finally, I disabled DST on the PC by going into Control Panel, Date and Time, and clearing the checkbox for "Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time" and everything worked normally.

I'm hoping that someone smarter than I can tell us why this is happening, or at least come up with a better solution. :)

My biggest question is Why March 4th? I could understand March 11th, but the 4th just has me baffeled!!!

Also, has anyone experienced this with WM6? (or did Microsoft get this one right...HA)

Either way, I figured I'd post this here to help the many who have helped me.

Good Night and Good Luck

Timezone Problem

I had this problem. I made sure to change the timezone on PC and on the PPC to somewhere else and back and it seems to have gone away....

Of course this is after manually arguing with the device trying to figure out why it happened.. lol...

You did install all 3 updates correct?? That would be the PC update, MS outlook update and then the PPC update....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Xevious2K:
I spent a good, (or bad), three hours trying everything. I patched office, windows and WM5 and even tried WM6. The only thing that worked was disableing Auto adjust DST on the PC.

I will post an update next week after DST starts and let you all know what happened.

It doesn't suprize me that microsoft can't get their own systems to talk to each other. Working with their products everyday, I am amazed at some of the stupid things they do. But, I have to look on the bright side of it...Without Microsoft's ability to write software like they do, I wouldn't own my own computer consulting business. :)

I cant seem to figure out why ram management is so bad in CM and any AOSP rom......i can understand that for MiUi but not here.

I cant multitask.....using just chrome and whatsapp ......they get kicked out of memory way too often......chrome pages reload from scratch whenever i go to them.....very little scope for multitasking ...... Also the home launcher gets unloaded .

I previously used Xperia L on CM 11 with 1 GB Ram but it multitasked like champ .....also my friend's Moto G2 .......I thinkbmaybe cuz we are using JB kernel for kitkat . I hope it gets fixed after the sources are out .... For now ,the user experience is too bad .
