[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
Actually, the manufacturer doesn't, the carrier does. There are MANY bad things that can happen when changing the "type" of device you are using. Firstly, the most scary one: Using any app/script/code that relies on the system property (which is what build.prop values define) such as ROM Manager (For installing ROMs and recovery) as well as Mobile Odin can and most likely WILL result in a brick. You have a T-Mobile device, you are now telling apps that heavily rely on what device they are running on to properly do the work they need to, are now thinking they are on a Sprint device. Guess what, its gonna run code that is designed for a Sprint device. This means anything dealing with the radio will get effed up because Sprint is a CDMA phone NOT a GSM phone, partition details could be different and I believe they are now on the S5, recovery images are WAY different for each phone, so flashing the wrong recovery will definitely get you into a pickle. All I'm saying is that changing what the phone thinks it is not a safe method for simply changing a lousy icon. There is more margin for error and causing damage down the road then good you are getting out of it. Yes other threads have mentioned to change the build.prop, I'm not saying its wrong, I'm just saying its unsafe and has a higher potential for future errors, I already read a thread where a guy bricked because they used Mobile Odin Pro to flash a tar file and it bricked their device because they changed the build.prop device name (they recovered because the bootloader was intact but they surely weren't tech savy and had a hard time getting back to it).

The BEST method, would be xposed, why? Because someone else has done the heavy lifting for you. They took the time to analyze the code and make the appropriate changes and if it doesn't work you simply reboot and press the power button ten (i think) times and boom xposed is disabled. Its the most foolproof modding solution for anyone (including power users as myself) why do you thinks its become so popular? lol.

I'm not trying to talk down on you or anything, I'm just trying to help you understand the implications and full extent of what is going on in such a simple line change in a system file. Because, the statement you made "Any system modification has potential for serious and unexpected consequences" this is only true when you have no idea what it is you are doing :)

In addition, if someone doesn't know how to make the simple png file name changes inside the framework-res.apk, they merely need to ask or Google it (which the latter should be done first). Why? Because this is a site to learn and learning something can help in the future with a similar mod for whoever the person was that asked about it.

I am sorry if I came off sounding harsh or condescending, I just hate to see someone brick their device because they wanted a simple icon change :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] neatojones:
I disagree with you regardless (IE: You mean to say that the carrier built their icons into some other carriers ROM? Doubt it...It was the manufacturer.) But, thanks for enlightening me on your opinions. Neither of us want the user to break their device. Since we're giving out advice: I would caution any reader not to assume any user here has limited knowledge of android based on their post count or vice versa.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
The carrier determines the build.prop value. But i always assume every user has a limited knowledge of anything when they are personally requesting how to do something. Any other user would have used the tools provided to them(Google xda search, etc) because this topic has definitely been covered before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] neatojones:
I can see you really want to be right about this. I'm discontinuing to follow this thread. I don't think either of us is adding anything useful at this point (certainly not myself anyway).

AND this is why I have a low post count on XDA. Carry on with the topic at hand.

Edit - To the OP (Or any other curious readers): I just tested this mod by making the recommendations I suggested. It DID NOT change how the product is identified in download mode or for ODIN. It may be possible to change how the device is identified in download mode, but this is not (and was not intended to be) a method to do so. However, this does not mean it is not possible through some other method or that the method could not cause problems with your device in some other fashion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
I never once said download mode did I? It's called mobile Odin pro. It's an app genius. I don't mind being wrong when I am. You're telling a guy to do a mod that could potentially brick his device. You're right that the mod will work to get what the OP wants. But it's not the best. That's all I've ever been saying. I'm giving the OP safer more practical ways to get what they want. I'm giving them options. That's all I've been doing. Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Pikaberdot:
I've changed 2 values in my build.prop file so I have the Verizon symbols on my T-Mobile S5, and it has not led to any issues whatsoever. These are the 2 lines I've modified:

ro.product.device=kltevzw

ro.product.name=kltevzw

No issues whatsoever.... Running any Touchwiz Rom anyway :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] neatojones:
Apparently, I needed to be more direct: I tested my device in download mode and with Odin after doing the mod I mentioned. It was found to be safe.

On the other hand: Other software apps or procedures may not be safe. Such apps/procedures include burning your device with a torch, dropping it from a plane, or using Mobile odin pro*. As such I would avoid these things.

*Another user has tested Mobile Odin Pro and found it to be unsafe. It was not retested for the puposes of this thread. The other two haven't been formally tested, YET.**

Let's keep moving forward. Or by all means we can both keep making fools of ourselves.

**Any tests will be at discretion of device owner and no damages shall be levied against XDA or this user.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
Hello,

Just a quick question, but has anyone found out a way to stop this from happening? Text messages, phone calls, etc from built in apps all give correct volume levels when the notification/call arrives.

However, any third party apps such as facebook messenger or whatsapp etc have extremely low notification volume.

This was a common problem with the Galaxy Note 4 and some newer LG phones too. No one seems to know if it's an android bug present since 4.4 and in 5.0, or if it's a safety feature.

Either way, it's extremely annoying. I'm gonna say its a bug, as if I get 2 notifications in quick succession, the 2nd will always be at max volume. Also at times the notification volume is at max regardless, before it goes quiet again an hour or so later.

There was an app that prevented all of this in 4.4, but it does not work with Lollipop.

This is present in the stock Android L builds from google, and in every custom ROM I've tried so far.

Any solutions?

Thanks in advance!

Hi All:

So i running mUn_aRTM_10.2.0.8_WWE, happy overall with the rom, wireless seem to have worked early on, it's been a few weeks since i last tried and all of the sudden last night attemp to turn on the wireless interface in the wizard and doesn't work. Tried soft-reset, click comm manager wireless icon a few times, and the turn on wireless shortcut on the today page. Out of luck!

Has anyone ever run into this? Not sure if it's software or tweak that caused this.

Thanks,

-LD.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
More than likely its a tweak or software conflict. I believe in other threads people have had issues with one of the Spb tools that caused WiFi to stop on WM6 roms. I'm sure other things probably can do similar.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] papamopps:
Just give it a try:

Have you tried:

HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 1

HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadwifi -->1

For me it helped. Espescially for remapping hardwarebutton with 3rd party Apps. Without the setting I could never choose Wifi to put on hardwarebutton.

And check if "wifiinit.ink" is in windows\startup folder.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainbirdseye86:
Hey all.

So I would expect a 500 quid phone to be able to play the latest and greatest mobile games without stutter. Unfortunately this is not the case, with my most recent example being Real Racing 3. This game has terrible stutter and a frame rate of maybe 20fps if i am lucky.

I suspect this is partly to do with screen resolution, however is there a way to actually make the Galaxy Note 4 a good gaming device? I have root.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabrielgon:
Good work man. I'll just add closing background apps and messing with the minimum/maximum GPU/CPU clock.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitko76:
it is very disappointing indeed .. I rarely play games, but Asphalt 8 is my favourite and it is just unplayable on my sd805 note 4.

I have paid £587 for the device, and apparently have to root it and spend hours if not days tweaking it to be able to play some games.. Not a good job from Samsung in this department ...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephkateno:
The answer to all your performance problems is a clean bug free pure google ROM I don't know if you can install one on the SD since I have the octa one but a ROM without all those s crap and bloatware equals to more performance if the ROM of course is properly cooked

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

I heard a dev talk that there isn't much to be gained by ocing the GPU and as far as CPU oc goes the more you push it the less time it will stay on that frequency because overheating could be 5 minutes away at full throttle oh and if you oc the GPU keep in mind that some voltage tuning might be necessary on the octa one I had stuttering on ultimate and persues kernels it varies from device to device...

PS hit that thanks button ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ausboy 2011:
The answer to the problems... its partly the chip runs so hot.. wait for lollipop to see what happens 1st
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabrielgon:
If you encounter problems with GPU OC, just increase the voltage a little bit. Don't see a problem there. When I talk about GPU/CPU management I mean mainly to increase the minimum GPU clock as some games don't demand enough of our device (haven't tested). Even with DVFS disabled I get a lot of 20ish fps playing spider man unlimited and the phone isn't even warm. It means the game is not requesting enough power. This is something I want to test, to force a high GPU clock with DVFS disabled and see what happens, but there's no kernel able to do that on exynos yet. :( Have you tested this? Do you know a way to control GPU clock on exynos or do you think they'll ever implement it?

It is very unfortunate to say that every smatphone in the world is like this. I'm a fan of asphalt 8 myself so I can say about it. I was playing the game on my girlfriend's iphone 6 which has the best GPU on a smartphone in my opinion + 750p resolution = insane graphics performance, right?? Sure! IF you don't throttle like crazy. Even with this insane combination the game hits 20ish fps here and there while the phone barely gets warm.

If you want to play the game with high fps without rooting just lower the graphics in options -> display. I was playing on high after all the mods I've done but it gets so hot and the battery runs out SO FAST that now I'm just playing on low/very low. The quality difference is minimum and you can play for a looong time.

If you need help to tweak your device (after root) for playing you can PM me. I'm a high fps addicted. ;)

Hit the thanks button if I helped.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephkateno:
[MENTION=4912572]gabrielgon[/MENTION] thank you for your time explaining this so yeah I get stuttering on God of fire let's say I will have to increase the gpu voltages table by at least 50 to make the problem ALMOST disappear now about low fps yeah also on galaxy on fire when a ship explodes I get some fps drop it is quite hilarious really thinking that this monster reaches out it's limits after some brainstorming though I figured I should reduce the resolution to 1080p or even 720 and woala no fps drops although the stuttering is still there so I guess I will have to increase the gpu frequency although I don't know if there is a way to do this...I will try to search a little

EDIT: OK so I used two apps that let you control the gpu frequency but it won't work on one app the function was greased out and on the other I kept pushing the button but it never took me to the menu to change the gpu frequency my guess is since the kernel doesn't support neither will the apps I don't think we will find any out there to do it if the kernel doesn't support it...

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephkateno:
I wish the rest of us gamers were like you :P
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabrielgon:
Ok, some stuff I can help you with:

Increasing the voltage doesn't increase performance, this only makes your phone use more energy. People usually undervolt their phones to get better battery life but when it gets too undervolted the phone gets unstable. That's why when you overclock you might need to increase the voltage, to keep it stable.

You won't be able to mess with GPU frequency unless your kernel support it. Maybe if you are a snapdragon user (I'm not sure), but on exynos you won't.

Downscaling resolution helps. There's a thread about it here. Good luck!

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

That's probably the battery temperature, but either way that's pretty dam good!! After 10-15 minutes you'll probably reach the heat peak already so that's enough for testing. Good to know you're having a good experience!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitko76:
Thank you gabrielgon, note 4 is the first galaxy phone I am reluctant to root. I just don't have the time I had years ago.

I kind of disagree with you that all phones experience these issues. My previous note 1, 2 and 3 had no such problems.

That is just new to me. With all my previous note phones, I could just download any game (most likely asphalt :)) and play as long as I want.

It is annoying that my note 3 (which I still keep) is capable of playing Asphalt 8 on max settings for hours with absolutely no issues and yet my shiny new note 4 just struggling with that.

I think samsung just should not have adopted the 2k display technology so early. Obviously the hardware is not there yet.

I personally do no see any difference pixel wise from the display in my note 3.

Yes, the note 4 has brighter and more accurate colour wise display and that is all they should have change.

OMG this is God of War for mobile!!!

Excitement apart, I played the game for 18 Minutes with gamebench and the performance was good. It hit 25 fps sometimes but while I was playing I didn't really see anything bad. Sorry but I forgot to turn back to 1440p as I use 1080p all the time. Dvfs was on just like a stock phone.

I'm on stock rom with Overclocked v9 ultimate kernel so our devices are a bit different right now. Exynos version.

I'll disable dvfs and play again to see if the fps goes up but I guess it will cause according to gamebench, gpu load was 100% which is very good.

I'll get back soon with more results.
