[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] O-T:
You said you were installing app updates in OP.[emoji53] Restore app data is a completely different issue.

Be careful when restore System settings or System app data from TB. This has been source of trouble since at least 2010 when I started fiddling with first Galaxy S. Play Store app is a system app, including most GApps app usually installed by recovery on aosp/cm based ROM. TW ROM, deodexed custom or stock default, usually has many of the Google apps inside initially.

I'm Not using Titanium because backup/restore of SMS, call history, Play Store appdata, WiFi (password only) is fully handled by Helium, Developed by Koush Dutta (CWM, ROM manager,...) Contacts/Calendar can be G¢¢gle synced.

App update is when an installed app is updated to a higher/newest version [emoji41]
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delta_ray:
I have given up and did another factory reset on my phone and restored only most importants apps and settings.

Seems to work now, but who knows how long it will last till next time this problem occurs.

I used Titanium as Helium does not backup all apps.

Thanks anybody for trying to help.

Hello guys need a little help

in Xolo q1010i, Micromax Yu Yureka, Xiaomi Redmi Note [Dual Sim] which has better camera ??

Xolo Q1010i has 8MP Rear with Sony Exmor R Sensor with 5-element lens

Micromax Yu Yureka has 13 MP Rear Sony IMX135 Exmor RS Sensor with 5-element lens

Xiaomi Redmi Note has 13 MP Rear Q13S01B Sunny N1404 CMOS BSI Sensor without 5-element lens & comes with wide 28mm angle.

I understand the 5P lens produces better and finer picture quality and I noticed Sony's Exmor R Sensor works better at low light than Sony Exmor RS Sensor [given the fact that Exmor RS is a newer sensor compared to Exmor R].

It seems like even Redmi Note has a good camera with wider angle but probably is not upto the mark under low light condition compared to Exmor Sensors ??

Which phone has a better camera for taking pics among these 3 models ?

camera experts help :D

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Hi, my phone is less than a week old, I want to root it in order to debloat it initially, but with the possibility of at some point going totally custom.

Now I know there's virtually no way of modifying without tripping KNOX (towelroot does not work with my OS release)......what I need are some clear answers (I've seen a lot of conflicting information) as to what tripping KNOX will mean for the device....

So here are my questions....

1) if I go fully custom, will I be able to return to full stock with Odin?

2) if I return to full stock, will I be able to receive OTA updates?

3) with a tripped device, will I see a KNOX message on normal start up of the phone?

4) is my warranty totally screwed even If I have a totally unrelated hardware issue?

5) is EU Regulation (1999/44/CE) ANY REAL help, or can manufacturers interpret it in their favor?

Thanks in advance......Keith.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysAndroid:
1) Yes, you just need to download firmware from sammobile and flash it with Odin

2) By going to fully custom you trip knox to 0x1 and theoretically you can`t get OTA updates but I received it after I had knox 0x1 and on fully stock ROM

3) No

4) Yes if you send it to Samsung service

5) I don`t even know what that is
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Thank you for your reply.....

Number 5 is an EU ruling that covers consumer protection and statutory warranty and it *appears* to contradict what Samsung says about KNOX voiding warranty.....The thing is, I'm not a lawyer so I can't be 100% certain......

Sent from my SM-G900F
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] griffin_1:
Honestly i don't know if that EU rulling has any real application or at least it doesn't in every country because Samsung or their repair centers will check for knox and will use that excuse to avoid fixing the phone under warranty for something that a rom or mod wouldn't cause.

But it also depends on who repairs your phone and if they check that or not, so is really just rolling the dice.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Lol...I guess you're right.....

I'm gonna root this beast anyway, it's just that it would have been good to get a watertight legal perspective first......

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] griffin_1:
If you follow the steps of the tutorial here on the s5 section of xda you shouldn't have a problem with knox. I rooted my s5 and it didn't trip knox, the only thing that changed was the status from "oficial" to "custom", but after reflash a stock rom on odin and not rooting it, it went back to saying "official", so they can't claim i rooted the phone.

So, as long as you keep stock (not custom recovery and custom roms) and just root following the steps on the tutorial, it should be fine.

Many of the big companies use root detection systems and don't support root and they use that to decide if they fix the phone or not. Most of the times the problem is unrelated to software but they still claim it. Its a bit of a grey are and depends on the company. I do remember reading that there were some countries where root was considered legal and i think the UK was one of them, so i might get a positive reply from them but im not sure.

That's the one i followed without flag knox. If towelroot didn't give you knox 0x1, then you can try that method to keep 0x0 when you root.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Ah ok cheers mate.......

So let me see if I've got this right......

First the build and baseband numbers on my phone both say ANG2.

So.......

1) Odin (3.09) flash ANE2 kernel.

2) Reboot, install towelroot and root

3) Reboot into download mode and reflash ANG2 kernel.

4) Reboot as normal.

No data wipes required?

Won't re flashing the original kernel kill root?

Can I use mobile odin to re flash the original kernel?

Edit.......just had a thought, could the flash kernel that mobile odin uses trigger KNOX?

Sent from my SM-G900F
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Ah.....don't think it's gonna work mate.....just put my glasses on and had a closer read......

It says to have towelroot installed before flashing the temporary kernel......

I can't even get towelroot to install.....Every time I try I get a pop up box appearing that says something about security. If I press install anyway, it simply fails........

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] griffin_1:
That's it!

I don't remember making any wipes, so i don't think they are needed.I followed those stepsand the kernel didn't change the root.

I don't know if you can use mobile odin, i would use the pc version just to be sure.

Also don't forget these steps:

´

That security warning is probably because you have the option to not allow unkown apps to install, which is on by default. Go to settings-security-tick unknown sources and untick app verification

I have a few questions to you:

1. Is it intuitive with the sensor gameplay on a mobile device? You can change the controls to "Swype" (deactive sensor) in the settings

2. Should Swype controle be default?

3. Any lag or serious bug?

4. Is it fun?

5. Too easy or too hard?

- Crosswalk 10 (explains the size)

- Google analytics (to see what is used and what needs more tutorial)

Hello Everyone,

When connecting the phone to USB Mirrorlink device in my car XAV-601BT I get an error on the phone saying Unknown USB Error and the screen does not mirror.

I have looked up and down the forums for a solution to this particular problem to no avail.

Here are the necessary facts

My Xperia Z3 is Rooted (TeamWin) with Bootloader unlocked which I understands affect some functionalities that require certain DRM Licensing

One of those functionalities is Mirrorlink which you guys have already provided a ported APK that works fine on rooted Xperia Z and Z2 (or any phone running Android 4.4.2) but not the Z3 (possibly because it uses Andriod 4.4.4)

Has anyone come across a solution for this or was able to get it to work without unrooting the phone?

[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] AndHD2:
It seems there is very little information regarding knowledge of how to bypass the Samsung S-View protection so you can use any non official case. For me, living in the UK that is a dramatic price difference from the original Samsung case costing £39.99 and upwards, or a copy costing £2.99. Obviously the original are far nicer but there are some class copies out there as well so the choice is yours.

It is very easy really and want to share with the community how to go about doing this. The secret is in the kernel. It must support disabling Samsung authenticity bypass. At the moment there are only two kernels to my knowledge and they are AEL kernel and Nadia kernel. Please make sure you use the kernel for the correct Note 4 variant (Such as N910f, N910g etc), or you could brick your phone. Once you have downloaded one of these kernels and flashed it via recovery, you then find the 'Synapse' application in your app drawer. This is the application what does the magic. Open 'Synapse' and scroll across the tabs until you come to 'MISC'. Towards the bottom where it says 'Sview Cover Hack". You will see a box to 'Enable or disable SView cover hack'. Simply check this box, press the tick at top and reboot.

Now you can save some money and have no issues using copied cases should you wish to do so.

Hi all,

I recently upgraded from a Note 2 to a Note 4.

Will try and explain the issue - it's only small but bugs me.

My previous sim was Orange and the new sim is EE 4G.

As this was an upgrade I was told my number would transfer to this new phone (Orange and EE are basically the same company in the UK - in fact my old Note 2 showed EE as the network carrier with the Orange sim).

My problem is when I put the new sim supplied in my new Note 4 according to the phone company the sim will take on a temp number until the transfer is complete. However when I make calls to others, my number appears correctly on their phones (same number as was in Note 2). I can no longer make calls on my Note 2 so assume the transfer has been actioned.

HOWEVER the phone is still showing the wrong (temporary?) number in About Phone > Status.

I can find no way to clear this and display the correct number.

Any ideas?!?
