pls explain downgrading - and see update :)

i greatly appreciate your response-. first-i esteem your opinion and have seen your name in a lot of threads- and most people here have much more knowledge than i- but i see you helping them too so:

1. would you recommend that i root my phone?

2. if no- respect that answer bc on my part not very confident-i have an above understanding of technology-but the realm of programming and rooting REALLY out of my comfort zone

3. if yes: what are the pros and cons of down grading? -- (and this baffles me of - how can downgrading not trip knox - ? i realize a 'loop hole' of some type of programming has prevented my current version - i just find it odd that a loop hold allowing downgrading would work and not trip it (and is downgrading HARD ?!)

4. i am unclear of some terms stock vs rom what is the correct term for the rom i currently use (bc i think of of it is stock- but what i read doesn't seem to line up to my understanding)

:D:D:D:D:D----Update---- I don't know how ! but some how - I NOW HAVE SPOTIFY SAVING TO MY EXTERNAL SD WHOOT WHOOT WHOOT did i mention - I HAVE NO IDEA HOW ?! !!

now ....

i use es file explorer - and i was able to make folders etc on ext sd card - NOW I CAN'T (how the heck did i get spotify on there?!) but i wanted to delete some folders and rename my 2014_backup folder to 2015_backup b/c there's nothing in there - and now that i have spotify on there and downloading to ext sd card - DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH IT :( :( blah.

thanks again for your direction and help - i appreciate all the info - i am just slightly overwhelmed to find a concise step by step --- i've downloaded SO many 'tools' but haven't any clue which - when - etc - and it seems everyone has just a speck different situation - math never my strong suit b/c unless the example given in class was exactly like homework - i never made the leaps to solve it if it didn't follow the step by step example - or required me to figure out it was multi stepped w/ another learned module - i'm a step by step no frills thrills girl - no genius here... so again - i'm grateful.:o

First where you able to create and or remove files with you PC connected via the charging cable ? BTW you might be able to get your hotspot working, without root here http://xdaforums.com/note-3-sprint/themes-apps/app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159 I know it says root required on the top but that is only for some not all of the features of the app. Another person got his note 3 hotspot to work without a rooted device .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] travisw0204:
1/2. Ok, let me first ease your fears of rooting. Rooting is to gain access to your phone that is otherwise locked by the manufacturer. I have rooted pretty much every phone I've ever used and have never had an issue turning it in or taking it in for warranty work. I do a lot of trade ins with Best Buy, as they have better pricing and perks than Sprint, and I haven't had an issue yet. I just put a stock Note 3 rom on, erase all my info and trade it in. I also have taken my phone into Sprint for warranty work with no issues. They do not check root to do warranty work unless you bring in a Note 3 running an S5 rom and even then they will tell you, on the side, to put a stock rom on and bring it back in. Sprint cannot refuse your request based on a rooted device and, worst case, just pay the deductible and get another phone through your insurance if you're that worried. The warranty voided issue is really only if you send the phone back to Samsung but who is doing that really? Bottom line, rooting your phone will do nothing but give you COMPLETE access to your phone to do as you please. Is it scary at times? Absolutely if you do not know what you are doing. However, you do not seem like you are looking for customized roms and themes so just download a stock rooted rom with hotspot and you'll be set. As you get more comfy then you can play around with the phone and different roms and really have some fun. So yes I recommend root.

3. As far as downgrading, you cannot do this and it will not trip Knox. Knox is only tripped if you flash a custom recovery image and I believe CF Auto Root trips Knox based on its script but I could be wrong. I'm almost positive, based on your description, that you took the OTA to NK4 and as such you cannot downgrade once you update the bootloader image. I know this is all Greek to you but trust me once you upgrade via OTA you cannot go backwards. Also, once rooted, you cannot receive any more OTAs unless you unroot and return the phone to complete stock out of the box. However, once rooted, you won't want to return to stock. It's easy to unroot as well so no issue there. Once an update comes out the devs here are pretty good in getting rooted roms out using the updated rom. All you would have to do is flash the firmware to allow the phone to run the newest rom. Again, I know this is all Greek to you but you'll understand more and more as time goes by. If you need further help, just PM me and I'll help you as much as I can.

4. Stock means exactly that. It's a stock phone without root. However, it could also mean you're running a stock rom( ie the same rom the phone is shipped with) vs a customized rom( ie an S5 or Note 4 Ported Rom).

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omr911:
Hello Everyone :)

I'm little curious :confused:

Just wanted to ask that is it safe to use a 2.1A charger on 1.8A phone ?

Because most of the car chargers come with either 1A or 2.1A..

Since our G3's comes with a 1.8A chargers..

Is extra 0.3A too high ?

Will it affect the battery life ?

I was reading some articles but didn't get the answer :silly:

On the other hand I also read that..

Did anyone notice from his/her personal experience ?

So the question is which is safe-er ?

To use 1A or 2.1A charger when 1.8A is not available ?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emibale:
it's not a problem, cause it s the phone that dictate the charging current ( that is in Ampere and not milliAmpere :D, 2.1A = 2100mA)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omr911:
Ops !

typing mistake :silly:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hippo2s:
I have used a range of different ones 0.5, 1, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.0, 2.1 max, different brands too) for my G3 for the past 6 months, no detectable adverse effect on phone or battery.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00280:
Charger is not a current source, it's voltage one. Meaning voltage will be 5 volts, and current will change depending on load.

The current is dictated by resistance of charger, phone and cable. 2.1 A marking simply means that it won't output more than that regardless of resistance.

And yeah, phones do regulate their charging current, so it's absolutely safe to use any charger.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hippo2s:
Plus...if battery dies...it is replaceable.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omr911:
What about ..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00280:
?..

Well, either the quote is more than 3 years old, or the one who wrote this is an idiot.

read:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_charger#Mobile_phone_charger

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply#AC-to-DC_supply

basically, the charger is an AC-DC converter. Charging current is determined by phone, but it can't exceed the maximum current specified by charger's manufacturer - mainly because trying to draw more current from it will make voltage drop below acceptable level.

Samsung phones have a user-controllable charger chip, which is able to drop the current till voltage stabilizes, etc etc etc. I'm 146% sure that other manufacturers use something like that too.

go to the root folder, then go into system. that's where you will find the build.prop file. back it up first on your sd card!!

after you open it add the following to the lines below all the text in the original file!!

fw.max_users=3
fw.show_multiuserui=1

Save and make a full reboot.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] TaylorofCanada:
Hey folks,

I own an Ativ S and Ativ S Neo (SGH-T899M and SGH-I187). The S Neo is an unlocked ATT branded phone.

On the S, I managed to flash roms and get MBNs working with MBN creator, etc.

On the S Neo, MBNs such as Wolf ROM 2.1, or using MBN creator doesn't change a thing. I can't even change the accent colour or time zone. Interestingly enough, when I try and change the USB mode using ##3424#, it asks for an MSL code (which I think is a CDMA only thing, which doesn't make sense).

Anyways, I'm just wondering if anyone can provide me with any direction to getting the Ativ S Neo to accept MBNs. :)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
MBN doesn't work on latest FW.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] TaylorofCanada:
Do I have any recourse? Can I roll back the firmware? What are we missing to make this work?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Do you have 8.0 now? Or 8.1? Post your FW version here.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] TaylorofCanada:
OS: 8.1.12400.899

FW Revision: 2103.14.10.2

HW Revision: 3.1.1.0

Bootloader: 14.05.13.17

SOC Version: 2.0.15

I have access to both the factory 8.0 and 8.1 images, if that's what you're talking about, so I can roll-back my phone.

Thanks for the help!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Yes, it's latest. Roll back to 8.0, flash custom MBN and then update. Unlock remains until next Hard Reset.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] TaylorofCanada:
Thanks for the tip. I tried that a few hours with no such luck. :S

I used the 8.0 image, and Wolf ROM 2.0b4

Any ideas?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Use MBN Creator
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] TaylorofCanada:
No such luck! I ran through the following steps, and internet sharing didn't work at any point.

1. Installed stock 8.0 rom with stock CSC.

2. Booted phone, set up, Internet sharing doesn't work at this step.

3. Installed new MBN with MBN creator.

4. Booted again, Internet sharing doesn't work at this step.

5. Used ##634# to change CSC.

6. Phone resets, CSC applied correctly.

7. Internet sharing still doesn't work.

I apologize for hijacking this thread, but did you say you have the factory image for the SGH-i187? If so, would you mind sharing with me? Several of us have phones that got bricked during a PFD update, and have been looking for the images so we can re-flash the phone.

If you have GDR2 rom you can also use Toast Launcher trick to access registry unlock your phone .

use GoodDayToDie capability unlock - BootStrap then update to GDR 3 and then unblock RPC Components and update again to 8.1

no need for a custom csc or mbn I think . Isn't it [MENTION=2734362]-W_O_L_F-[/MENTION] ?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordmail:
Hi Guys,

Just encountered something and was wondering if I was going crazy.

So three days ago I sent my Nexus 6 to Motorola to be repaired. It had a slightly glossy blue back cover that attracted fingerprints quite easily.

It's come back today and they just gave me a replacement phone. However, the back plate is still blue but is noticeably more matte and doesn't really pick up fingerprints at all!

Am I going crazy or are there two versions of blue back plate?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knitler:
There have been a couple slight shade changes in the back covers and the blue metal bands. Some are more purple. others are more blue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OFWGKTADGAF:
I'm not sure if people are just really downplaying the bugs their experiencing, or maybe Canada just got a big batch of bad phones but it seems nobody online is having the problems me and a few friends are having with our phones. When 5.0 first arrived I was shocked to find I experienced none of the bugs that everyone was complaining about, 2 weeks later and my phone in unusable. A factory reset seems to clean things up but within another week my phone will become unusable again. I thought maybe my phone had broken until I spoke to some friends and found out that multiple (5+) are having the exact same issues. So my question is what's going on with the n5? How is yours working? I'm extremely disappointed this time around after the great experience I had with the galaxy nexus and n4 and would even say I was a nexus fanboy. After having the n5 since launch I have decided that I will no longer be buying nexus phones, as I have has nothing but problems with the 2 n5s I have owned.

A quick list of some of the bugs I've been experiencing are:

Terrible Battery

Immense lag / lack of response in general.

Facebook Messenger chat heads seem to close themselves about 75% of the time.

Getting the keyboard to come up is a game of hit and miss.

The Wallpaper changes itself to black (my indicator things are about to get crazy)

Data/WiFi often just stop working, while icons in the status bar appear normal

About 1 in every 4 notifications I get fails to actually send a notification.

I get a constant "attempting to reconnect in x seconds" while connected to my moto 360.

My navbar/status bar often disappear.

And the annoying "bug report captured" bug that has been persistent since I got the phone.

I've had these problems on stock 5.0, 5.0.1 as well as all custom Roms up to 5.0.2

I've even tried going back to KK, while greatly improved, I still experience much of the same problems.

Does anyone else have these or similar problems? Has anyone found anything that runs stable? Or is it just time I move on and get myself an HTC?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] experience7:
Using my N5 in germany and it's the best phone I've ever held in my hands :) Running CM12 (based on Lollipop) for now. Have also been using stock Lollipop for a few months. Both run extremely stable. To be honest: I never heard about your issues. I'm not that big of a fanboy. Never owned a Nexus device before, but I guess I'll never move away from Nexus :)

Just my honest opinion about the device :)

By the way: I've got a moto 360, too. And the connection is great - up to 10 meters at least and no random disconnects :)
