[General Questions and Answers] snifferhann:
I know this is not the right forum but I've always found everyone on this board helpful and knowledgeable.

I've bought an ipad mini at an airport lost property auction for my daughter to have at Christmas. Its all legit before anyone asks, if its not claimed within 3 months the airports sell it on. Anyway got it home to find it goes to an icloud activation screen needing password etc. Does anyone know a way round this or can point me in the right direction or a forum that deals with ipads? I've searched google but there are so many bogus softwares etc containing malware and needing to complete questionaires etc to unlock it I've spent hours trawling through crap. Keep seeing some software called duolci activator mentioned but have yet to find a genuine software download for it.

Any help would be great.

Merry Christmas

I think I have the same problem basically. I bought an iPod Touch for cheap at a thrift store and it was protected by a lock screen. I didn't think that would be a big problem as I have Android devices and know how to re-install the OS. I wiped it out after reading on Apple's website support. However, now it says that the previous owner still has it on their account and that I need to contact them and ask them to remove it from their account. I can't get in touch with them from the email associated with it. Is there not some way to use this thing after someone discards it? It's currently at the activation screen and I tried entering my Apple account info but it just says I need to get hold of the previous owner. I can't do that. I didn't pay much figuring most people didn't know how to get around key lock so I thought that was why it was cheap or else it didn't work. I now find out it works, but can't get past activation using my account I have had for years. I think it is still on an i Cloud account. Any help would be appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] JayR_L:
The only way is to try and contact the original owner, which thrift stores will not help you with. I also doubt they will refund you your money as you willingly purchased it knowing it was locked... Sorry :(

I have to tell you the REAL method on bypassing it:

Flash a valid custom IPSW file to your activation locked iDevice using a PC.

Search it how to flash it and how to make one.

But can anyone "hack" the servers of Apple or contact Apple for me? :)

Not all tho...

I have an iPod Touch 5G, and an iPhone 4S, and are still not YET supported with this bootrom exploit. Seems we, the UNSUPPORTED device owners, have to wait for them to be supported soon.
[General Questions and Answers] CreativeGamer03:
Ok..

UPDATE: AppleTech752, together with Exploit3dguy and others, just updated Sliver to 5.0, a passcode-remover and activation lock-remover tool. It supports the A5 and A5X chipsets, meaning it supports the iPhone 4s, iPad 2, iPad Mini, iPod Touch 5G, and iPad 3G.

However, it requires an Arduino Uno and USB Host Shield since it uses ipwndfu-a5, an a5/a5x version of ipwndfu forked by a1exdanddy. Tutorials for setup are in AppleTech752's YT Channel...

He also has a subreddit for discussions/issues for icloud bypassing or anything about exploits and Sliver.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phazonclash:
Hi guys, I have a problem with my OnePlus One: It seems there's graphic performance issues, either caused by the Lollipop ROM I'm using (Temasek's CM12), or my phone is faulty?! (1+1 64GB, using f2fs partitions).

For example, here's some benchmarks (3DMark) comparing my Note 3 (CM11 latest nightly + leanKernel) to my OnePlus One (Temasek's CM12 2.8 + AK 0.50):

Left: Note 3 / Right: One

Any idea what's going on? Someone would be kind enough to run a 3DMark test on their device, to see if it's a normal behavior with Lollipop to cause lower graphic performance, or a problem with my device, please? ;)

Oh by the way, I know benchmarks don't always reflect the day-to-day usage experience, but the fact that games run a lot smoother and are more fluid on my Note 3 than on my One made be investigate further. I can objectively notice a graphic performance problem on the One with this ROM/Lollipop, that is theoretically more powerful than my Note 3. The next step is to reinstall the stock KitKat ROM on my One I guess, to see what's going on.

Thanks

I have the grey one though, wonder how it will look like, doesn't matter too much really, as long as it keeps my edge protected :D
[Note Edge Accessories] htcmaster:
I got my Flip case, its really nice with the edge screen, but I don't like the front cover that you constantly have to fold backwards in order to call/put it in a holder etc. I have a tripo holder that is unusable with this case, because folded you cover the lens, unfolded you cover the screen.

How do other users handle this?
[Note Edge Accessories] klect:
I don't know yet, but I guess they just leave it hanging instead of folding it
[Note Edge Accessories] htcmaster:
Removed the flip wallet and replaced it with a silocon ebay cover. I liked the edge visibility when you close the wallet, but I dropped my Edge on the floor and the corner is damaged. The wallet is a lousy protection. It fell of when the phone hit the ground.

Another problem with the wallet is that of you want to use the phone, you fold the flip part to the back. If you want to close the wallet again is stays open for a few degrees. Only thing to fix it is to lay the phone down on the screenside, but then you cant read the edge screen.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorandre:
Hey

So I have a note4: SM-N910F from a french Carrier, I was on the ANJ4 firmware, my phone is unlocked. I decided to flash it to make it work on my US GearVR following the advice of some redditors who after my many concerns have assured me it was low risk. I downloaded the ANK4 from another carrier and tried to flash it with Odin.

It failed and gave me the following error

"Volume size is too big 81920 < 512000

ODIN : Invalid Ext4 image"

The guy who's help I was following told me to clear cache and even gave me an explanation on how to do it. So I figured I'd just revert to my original firmware, which I have by flashing it back

EXCEPT! and here is the problem. Now my phone says 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery in Kies & try again.' - and I can't connect it to the computer! connecting doesn't work. It does DETECT IT when I plug it in, but then goes 'starting connection' till it says it didn't work. I tried other USB ports, I tried to reboot, I tried to reinstall USB drivers through Kies. I'm starting to be at a loss.

so I can't do anything in my phone and I can't connect it to a computer.

halp

(also I would love to avoid the obvious don't trust the internet people rhetoric, I'm past that and I knew the risks :P)

There is a reddit thread here: red dit.com/r/GearVR/comments/2poelk/to_flash_or_not_to_flash_that_is_the_question_to/cmyl01d

I put a spacebar between the 2 D of reddit because I can't put links in as a new user

I was also having the same problem.

Here is how you solve it.

1. Download the stock firmware ending with .tar.md5.

2. rename it so it ends with .tar

3. Extract it using winrar to get recovery.img file

4. Download this tool (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2446269)

5. extract it also, and move the recovery.img file from step 3 and put it in the newly extract folder from step 4.

6. Click the ImgToTar.MD5.bat file and sit back.

7. You will now see a new file in there named "recovery.tar.md5"

8. flash this file with odin and your done!

Ive been having an issue with mainly the home key default and the default sms app going back to default. I have the lolipop messenger set as my default and randomly it will change back to the stock app and i miss texts, anyone know a fix? Im rooted with xposed and running dynamic kat 4.0

I had an issue with defaults not sticking on the S3. Turned out to be a random app somehow mucking things up (phone to chrome). I isolated by disabling bunches of user apps within tibu until the behavior straightened out...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
I finally gave in and just stuck to using the stock messenger which is the only one it actually stays on, meanwhile the homekey has just gotten worse. Every reboot, even a soft reboot clears it, not even setting google now as the action in gravity box will make it open that by default. Is there any log or something i could check to see what is doibg this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Seems its gotten worse, my launcher wont stick as default, and it ws showing google now launcher which i have frozen, and acccording to app info on it if i switched to it it was google search, which i temporarily froze to test and the launcher option went away. Also google swarch has been killing my battery, says about 50% in the stats, chrrently android system is in the 30% area, a lot of things are higher than usual and screen brightness literally isnt even showing up, so i am extremely confused, anyone know what the hell is going on?

Edit: I had a newer version of google search (google now) installed from lollipop, so i uninstalled it and reinstalled the market kne and everything seems to have calmed down now, but it still wont stay as the default long press action for thr home key, it even shows up in app defaults, its listed there as the default for something, but I have to set google as the default for long press every time i reboot the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
So i used to use google keyboard, and it was fine, but i installed a modified one so i could get the material theme with the number row, and every time i rebooted it would go to samsung keyboard.
