[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcustdu:
Hey guys, im stuck on deciding whether i should root my note 4 or not. What's really bugging me is that i will trip knox and will it devalue the phone?

Any benefits of rooting it right now? vs nonroot

i've seen some threads of rooting problems with some apps and such and im not sure if i should wait or not. Im coming from a rooted s4 and i kinda miss being rooted. Come on guys post what you think here!

You're right im sorry guys

Any possbility of a mod moving it?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BableMan:
Root if something you want needs it, otherwise there's not any need. Do you need tomatoes? I dunno.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbotoe:
As stated above, root if you have the NEED to root. For me, I got plenty. Smoothness, debloating, batterylife, awesome rooted apps out there (I know..only three reasons.) For others, they need a specific app they need to run on their phones and it will need root.

If non of these are an issue to you, do not root. If you cannot think of a reason to root without having the benefit of root vs non root listed out to you, I will advice you do not root because that tells me you actually do not have the need to root. Make sense?

As far as knox is concern...I will say only trip if if you have no need to send it straight to Samsung while your phone is still functioning. I say this because they will send it right back to you. Now if your phone is fried, how will they check exactly if knox is tripped? The carriers do not care, tmobile do not care. Most of the workers think nova is a rooted app. Thats how much they know about root.

You go to a carrier, simply do not give them a reason to think you are rooted. People like to take a phone with custom roms and custom kernels on there...thats not smart. They boot your phone, a message at the top most left of the phone will tell them you are rooted. Always go to the store with stock ^.^

Hope that helps!

I have the Note 4. I root it about 2 weeks later after I got it. My reason: get ride of all the bloat junk that I dont need; now I can write to my SD card; unlimited hotspot; lean machine and good battery life. Its good to have su access.

Im in the same boat, sorta. Ive always rooted. Everything i had, even the old windows phones. This is the longest ive lasted non rooted. Im getting the itch. My question, if i root, flash twrp, does it erase my data? Not a big deal really, but im on level 110 on ea sports king of the course. Would suck to start over.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chenxiaolong:
Neither rooting nor flashing a recovery will wipe your data. Some phones ship with the unlockable bootloaders and the unlocking process wipes the data (for example, on Google Nexus devices). But the bootloaders on T-Mobile Samsung phones are unlocked by default, so flash away :)

Rooted is the way to go! Only reason I haven't rooted yet is because I'm waiting for Android 5.0 to drop next month hopefully ! Then I will gladly root. Phone is much better when it is under your control.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virtualdj:
Those of you who rooted the Note 4, can you confirm if root

disables

:

Private mode - Possible fix (old fix)

S-Health (maybe only if using Xposed) - Possible fix?

Screen Mirroring (wireless) - Possible fix?

Recording calls (?)

I would want to root mainly to gain access to the external SD card, possibility to enable/disable flight mode using profiles and wouldn't mind about OTA ora Knox 0x01.

But it's annoying to lose those functions for me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virtualdj:
Updated previous post with some links to possible fixes.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
I rooted but on a custom ROM and I have zero issues with private mode or S-health. I guess the issue is when you're only rooted on stock ROM. But apparently there's walkarounds for those issues.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virtualdj:
Thanks, but actually I was interested on (possible) issues on stock ROM and, most importantly, if the walkarounds really work.

[X 2014 General] titotito1983:
Great guide man! thanks. I supposed this works for the Claro Chile version, right?
[X 2014 General] Omar04:
You need to replace the AMXPR firmware with your region one. Copy paste modem and sfg.bin from your firmware to the modem folder also. And it works.
[X 2014 General] titotito1983:
Great! thanks again!
[X 2014 General] Omar04:
When replacing files with the ones from your region pay attention if your firmware system image files are sparse chunks or system.img if the latter edit script and delete all "fastboot flash.... sparsechunk.x" commands there are 5 from 0 to 4 and add this one instead "mfastboot flash system system.img" and save it.

The rom "NIIBR_XT1097_4.4.4_KXE21.187-30.3_cid12_CFC.xml.zip" works on a Moto X 2014 2nd generation BRAZIL? If this works, I need to do something else at the time of flashing the rom? Thanks.

You can use it on any Moto X 2nd Edition device you only need to replace AMXPR folder contents with your carrier firmware files. And put a copy of your carrier firmware modem files on the modem folder to replace with yours too.

Pay attention to firmware if it's using system as sparsechunks don't need to edit batch.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolRaoul:
Hello to all,

I've received my phone yesterday

I've noticed that "Motorola Modality Services" subsystem uses location services using hardware GPS, which incurs "high battery use":

[IMG="Recent location requests"]http://i.imgur.com/9G0R5LN.png[/IMG]

According to it's description:

"Motorola Modality Services helps your Motorola phone respond more intelligently to motion, phone orientation (e.g. face up/down) and stowed state (e.g in/out-of-pocket).

Note: Motorola Assist and Motorola Active Display use this service. Keeping it updated allows you to benefit from their latest features."
​

I don't understand why this service needs to have access to location and morover why high accuracy is needed.

Is this normal?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
I believe it's for the Driving and Home modes in Moto Assist. I have an issue with it automatically resetting to high accuracy even when I set it to battery saver mode under Location settings. No solution found to it yet other than manually setting it to battery saver each time I toggle location.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolRaoul:
That's also what I guess, but it should be able to detect modes using only accelerometer and gyro. This

would be a much less battery intensive approach I think.

Thanx,

[XDA Assist] It_ler:
Hmm ... best is to ask in the specific Q&A forum of your device.

If you can't find a forum for your device on xda, you may post in the General discussion > Questions and Answers.

Basically you will have to flash the stock firmware to your device. But as I don't know your device, I can't say how to do it.
[Mi 3 General] deveshmanish:
Disclaimer: This is untested so flash at your own risk.That being said it should not cause any major problems. If it doesn't boot just restore your nandroid.

Any testers for Mahdi ROM?

It's a very crude build.I doubt it will even boot.

Do a nandroid first and then wipe and flash.

I don't own the device so don't wanna proceed building any further without atleast knowing that it boots.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rutjan:
Merry Christmas to y'all!!!

I've purchased this wireless induction charger on Amazon and I'm quite pleased with it. It's one of the only few cheap ones that can be used as display station.

I'm quite disappointed in one aspect though...

The point of getting and induction charger was of course to prevent damaging the usb port from plugging and unplugging repeatedly.

The second interest I had was that I tought this would consequently leave the USB port for other use, like plugging a mouse, flash drive (using Stickmount), basically any USB device connected via OTG cable.

Unfortunately, it appears that when you plug someting while the phone is resting on the station, it "disables" the induction charging...

I wonder if it's a software or hardware issue. Any workaround?

Just for the record, I'm running L 5.0.1 on Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Most likely done to prevent one from attempting to charge with both the USB port and Qi at the same time, to prevent overheating.

Hi,

For some reasons, I need your phone's slte.pit file & a mount output (list of mounts).

I like to make block map of all devices even those I don't have.

I don't have this handset so I ask you all if you can give me the slte.pit file :)

Also I've found during searches a strange ftp server which requires user&password.

http://www.mmnt.net/db/0/0/85.90.197.53/SAMSUNG/software/

This ftp server seems to stock lot of PIT & firmwares files!

If I could access all those PIT files then I could map any device.

Thanks :good:
[General Accessories] DANDANA:
I'm not sure if this is the problem, but i think the batteries are bad.

I have an XDA IIs, and after 12 months of use (regular use, with maybe wrong every overnight charge) i had problems - enabling wifi at 70 % of battery geting blank screen and reset, enabling gps for more then 1 hour the same and so on.

Bought a new battery (non OEM) and all is ok.

Reading few of the post, i think some batches of batteries are bad (with intention or not).

The serial for my old battery is 1YYA456D000676, HTC, made in Taiwan, PH26B.
[General Accessories] PressDigital:
Dandana,

The XDA IIs is an older unit now and there ARE quite a few old PH26B XDA IIs iMate PDA2K batteries kicking around the market that have been sitting on the shelf for 12 months plus....

In constant use, an XDA IIs battery has a useful life of 12 months tops (more often 9 months)..

Get a decent quality battery (Eg Mugen) if you want to keep the device .. or at least get a generic battery from a reputable dealer (not eBay) - so if it fails in the first few months you have a warranty to fall back on.. Most reputable dealers offer a minimum of a 3 month warranty on LiIon batteries..

Here are the two Mugen options we've found to be excellent..

Not sure who your local area dealer will be?

Good luck

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Russell_S:
Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-i9300) which was working fine until the other day. The phone was plugged into the charger and immediately restarted itself and stuck at the initial loading screen. I could boot into TWRP recovery but was unable to mount any partitions and if I tried a factory reset it reported that there was no OS installed on the phone.

So I decided to reload the factory firmware using Odin. I have downloaded what I beleive to be the correct factory 4.3 firmware (I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_BTU.zip) but when I try to load it using Odin it fails at around 90% (see screenshot).

The complete message log is as follows:

Here is a screenshot of Odin when it fails. One concern I have is that at the top of the screen it sdays 'Odin3 i9505'. Should that not say the model of the connected phone which in my case would be i9300

If anyone could offer some advice I would be gratefull.

Thanks

EDIT: I forgot to mention, since the failed attempt I can no longer boot into recovery but I can still boot into download mode.

[Omni Q&A] suviralu:
Hello,

After trying several ROMs, I'm now a happy OmniROM user. One of the features I really appreciate are the nigthly builds. The system automatically checks for them and it displays a notification icon each time a new build is available. But, hey, I'm not going to tell you what you already know :)

I noticed that for some reason the update notification function stops working and I can now associate this to the presence of the Viber application on my device. And now I decided to share my findings and to eventually understand the background of this problem.

Here is the typical scenario I found myself in several times this last year:

- some friend of mine asks me to contact him on Viber; this application comes-in handy when talking with people abroad

- I install Viber, only to notice the next day that I no longer have the new updates notification

- I eventually uninstall Viber, as it's really discharging my battery trying to reconnect my phone (the GSM signal quality is very poor at my work, even if it's in the center of a major french town)

- after manually downloading & installing the current nightly build, the update notification icon comes back next day.

In addition, I had the idea to manually check for system updates. When the Viber application is present on the system, this function won't find any new updates!

Am I the only one facing this problem?

Cheers,
