[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurkx:
you lose a huge huge amount of functionality. too much to describe. an entire separate app store with only secure apps. a stripped down and fast encrypted personality (basically a second phone with no bloat). seamless switching. secure email and separate invisible device storage. secure calendars and notes. device tracking and logging. remote wipe and remote lock/unlock. there is literally a multi hundred page manual for all the functionality available.

have a look at just one screen of knox emm and you can see how much functionality you lose :
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxynote2:
Off Topic: Is that a 4K screen? Damn that DPI must be pretty low I couldn't read without my glasses :eek:

Basically, yes, you lose Knox. Which is something that no app can replace right now. Knox is what iCloud Security is for iPhones. If somebody stoles your phone, you can track it, or delete everything and render it unusable to the thieft. Also, with knox and reactivation lock enabled, no one can root the phone and delete knox as it prevents to flash anything via Odin. It makes your phone really safe, but it's a worth losing.

I've rooted my phone since the first day I bought it. I don't have warranty as I've imported the phone from USA, so Samsung Argentina doesn't cover it. It's totally worth. If you use Kitkat, Xposed is the best addition for your rooted device. If you're in Lollipop, you can always flash custom themes/mods via Recovery. Root (almost) always is a benefit. I recommend you to enjoy your phone as is, and when you're prepared (or bored, whatever you want to call it), go ahead and root it. Congratulations and cheers!

Thankyou, I've had abitof a read up on Knox, I guess,.if this was a company phone, or I worked in IT then this ' feature would be the' bees knees'. fortunately its purely for pleasure!!

nice, thanks for the info chap, I'm absolutely loving this thing. Root was done in first few hours, used CF Root and Odin all good.

Hope OP has enough info now to make a decision,
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravatrax1:
I can see how Knox would be detrimental to someone in a business or tech related job where security is upmost importance however I am not that person so it's just something that' snot useful to me. I think for the time being I'll just keep the phone as is but eventually I will probably root it. I'm only a few days in and I already miss some of my apps and Xposed modules that I used one my One from when it was rooted.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
Personally I wouldn't bother rooting. Losing a warranty isn't worth it considering the minimal benefits of rooting.

You'll soon learn to live without the limited additions that exposed offers, and you'll not miss the performance hit exposed offers the Note 4 which is slow enough already.

There is a thread that suggests alternatives to rooting.

If you're anything like me, you'll be onto another phone soon enough and no one will want to buy a phone with no warranty that someone's been trashing with Root.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravatrax1:
Not me I wen the Sprint easy pay route. I'll have this phone for the next two years. I think I'll wait till OTA of Lollipop comes out then wait for a stable root and do it then.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragracekid:
Hello all,

I got my nexus 7 grouper a few days ago and I'm planning on installing it in a Mitsubishi and I just have a couple questions before I perm-install it. Yes I have been searching and researching just wondering if theres any new info .

1 what is better pogo charging or usb y cable? i can print a small mount for the pogo pins i'm just curious if it's worth it.

2 what should I be charging at? i've seen posts about the random cables not charging. so I've been testing a few and the odd thing is its hit and miss in the car im suspecting the modded adapter is the problem but with gps on music on and the screen on the most ive seen is 200-300 ma charging based on the battery monitor widget app. The adapter puts out 3 amps but the cable doesn't seem to like it. so sometimes it will charge good and sometimes it will discharge.

3 is there any advice on installing? I think I'm ok but I just want to make sure I do it right. I still need my buck converter and my hub

4 is a DAC worth it? I think my audio is ok without but i do hear clipping in the radio when i use the tablet im thinking thats noise from the jack would a DAC solve this?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidgamepro:
Hi guys !

I've made some research about the partition sheme of the GT-I9195 and here's what I found :

What's interesting is the size of /system : 1500Mo !!! That's really big when you know that CM11+Gapps take approximatively 500Mo of /system space. There also some other parition un-used for custom rom's users (/hidden which contains sammy dummy file or /fota which is for over the air update for official rom). So don't you think there should be a way to delete some partition so that we can gain in space for /userdata ? I'm asking because i know it was possible for my old phone (Galaxy ace 2) and I think it would be pretty nice to gain 1Gb of space for daily usage.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasank360:
I do not think it is possible to repartition s4 mini's flash storage.

You said it was possible on your old ace 2. I say it was also possible on my old galaxy s advance :D

That is because those devices had seperate partitions for system , internal storage , data (where u install apps) , cache and a special partition called 'preload'.

If I can remember correctly the hidden.img files from firmware reside on that preload partition. As you can see , with use of a "pit" file we can repartition internal storage, system and data such that we can either have more room to install apps or more room for storage.

But such a work is not possible on s4 mini. Because the internal storage and data are on same partition. /data is where u install apps .... /data/media/emulated/0 is your internal storage. This means data and storage share a single partition. :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidgamepro:
Yes i've also noticed what you just said. In previous samsung phone, there were two separate partition for user. One purely for storage (/ums or /sdcard0 if I remember correctly) and another one for the apps or the user's setting (/data). Now those two partitions have been merged in galaxy S4 mini, which is a big improvement.

But what I want here is to resize /system partition which is really too big for custom roms so that we can use that extra space for /userdata. In fact, i'm pretty sur that CM11 with a small Gapps package could fit in 500mo and that's all what we need because /system is in read only isn't it ?

And by the way, /system and /userdata are correctly two separate partitions.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fburgos:
You can go the other way.... Integrate apps in system.

I think this is safest than repartition

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reallyflyguy:
So here's my problem. I have a Rogers 900W8 and I've played around with it. I rooted it with Phiztouch, flashed Fusion and Gapps and didn't like it. Flashed back to OEM and no issue. Tried installing a stripped down version of Lollipop and found it had issues so I gave up and decided to flash back to OEM. My OEM software is from Sams and now my background apps are Bell on the second round. WTF?? I've downloaded every "roger" labeled file from Sams and everyone flashes the same. (via ODIN of course). The only reason I care is because I still have a credit on my Suretap sim card I want to use and now it won't acknowledge it. Help please

Keep it simple, use the Kies software, put your phone in Download mode, connect to PC/Mac, and then select under tools, emergency firmware recovery. Should go ahead and restore phone to original rogers state.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reallyflyguy:
So I played around and figured out how to get Kies3 to do the emergency software install. Turns out it was my old laptop having a software issue with 32bit windows.... my wifes newer laptop worked perfectly.

Now, I've done process and seen the issue. When Kies sees my software it clearly identifies Bell as the carrier specific. When I start the firmware install, by serial number.... It shows that RWC is now selected to install. Following thorough, the software gets downloaded and installed and It's still Bell..... WTF? When I plug back in to Kies to confirm, sure enough.... BMC pops up. Am I missing a step? Like a battery pull at a key moment?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radeonddr:
Download the oldest rogers firmware there is ..after installing it go to the dialer and type in *#272*imei# then select rwc then phone will do a factory reset then you will have rogers apps then just do the over the the air update via wifi.

Hope that helps!!

I just installed a custom ROM on my G2 for the first time, I installed CM12. After the phone booted up I checked in the root checker app if the root still exists and it told me that the phone is no longer rooted.

Is there a guide on how to root again when the phone is on lolipop or restore everything to how it was before? I backed up everything before I wiped the phone with TWRP.

Thanks very much!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
If you made a Nandroid Backup with TWRP, simply restore it (assuming you didn't wipe your internal storage).

My advice.. just wait until Lollipop is Stable and stay on Stable KitKat.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hmedved:
You must enable root in Developer options.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mascondante:
I was uninstalling some apps to get ready to back up and flash my phone because my microphone volume was stuck at minimum and no one could hear me. After rebooting my back and multitask (menu) button won't light up or respond. This has happened to me before occasionally. I could fix it by powering the screen off and back on. I believe I read somewhere it had something to do with xposed.

I tried flashing using MOP and my buttons didn't come back so I loaded a TWRP, wiped all partitions, rebooted in download mode and flashed with regular ODIN. Still can't get the buttons to function. Home button works just fine, though.

I tried finding a solution to this but I can't seem to find one. I had the same issue intermittently on my Galaxy S4 but I fixed it by wiping the partitions and reflashing. G900R4 USC variant.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mascondante:
So I went into stock recovery and did a factory reset. It was already as wiped as it could possibly get afaik but I thought I'd try just to see. My buttons lit up in stock recovery so I knew they were getting power. I did a factory reset and low and behold upon reboot my buttons came back.

Did I fix it or is there a circuit starting to fail on my phone and it was just luck? I'm curious.
[Android Software Development] brok85:
Hi everyone,

I have a doubt about the logic of implementation for the reference-ril.c of the Android telephony stack.

In particular, the mainloop() function seems to be running forever to keep the port of communication with the baseband opened (codeline 3291 at https://github.com/android/platform_hardware_ril/blob/master/reference-ril/reference-ril.c). There is indeed a for( ; ; ) loop that seems not having beaks, so I assume it runs forever (correct me if I am wrong). However, in theory the communications between the baseband and the application processor where android and reference-ril are running should be interrupt based. This means that when the baseband needs to communicate something, an interrupt is raised.

Why android does not wake up the mainloop() function only when this interrupt is raised rather than keeping the port always open?

Could be something related to the fact the the port of communication is USB (HSIC) based?

Thanks for any help in clarifying this doubt!

Hi. My LG G2 Mini fall down on pavement. The front glass is break and touch don't work well. Display is ok. Man in GSM service told me that he only changed all set consist of front glass, digitizer and LCD because exchange without LCD is impossible. It's true?

It is possible, but very hard. You will have to use UV glue to stick the glass. And there is high risk that you will damage the display (if G2 mini has OGS screen, there's no glass between the digitizer and LCD panel, so it can be easily damaged.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] epicfailol:
Does otg support need to be enabled in the kernel to work or is it just not implemented on the tablet. I tried making a custom kernel with it enabled but it brings fastboot up after flashing it. It booted fine when I built the kernel with all the defaults though.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dpeddi:
I given a look to otg too...

I've seen that after connect a otg cable adb stop working after reconnect. So hardware may detect the cable...

how you customized your kernel? Just added config_usb_otg? Have you tweaked dts?

I've seen that dwc3 have amazon patches.. so initially they should have started supporting otg and finally disabled on production build.

Actually i've a bootable 4.5.2 kernel but custom recovery don't finish boot yet. Just adb on both boot.img and recovery.img booted from fastboot boot xxx.img.

Wen recovery will be ready i'll try otg

PS: actually kernel is build with usb3 controller support and we already have onboard dwc3_otg.

so I think that we need to fix dts

perhaps just adding to apollo.dtsi

&usb_otg {

status = "ok";

};

Whats wrong with the pics?

The Moto pictures look as said saturated blurred and low in quality.

The camera of the Z3 is the best one I ever had. Even in low light enviroment it makes awesome pics.

Compare some pics in the evening when u are watching tv with lights out and be happy to have a phone with such an awesome cam.

The Cam and the Display are the 2 things that keeps me away from installing CM.

If u want more colors play a bit around with the special effects f.e. hdr.
[Xperia Z3 General] se1000:
So, I wasn't there but this is what I interpret the pictures as.

The Moto G pics aren't really over-saturated, they just lack dynamic range (difference between dark vs light areas). They essentially tuned the sensor so that if this sort of thing happens, it chooses the brighter side of the scene. The leaves and darker areas can't be recorded as dark as they actually were, so it chooses to make the overall picture just brighter. Sony does a much better job of capturing the light areas such as the concrete and also the darker shades and leaves. The other difference is white balance, the Sony chose something a little cooler, and the Moto warmer. Without being there, tough to say which is more accurate but from the pics I'd say the Sony got it right.

Easy fix, force the Sony to overexpose or use something like pixlr to boost exposure.

Second picture is much of the same, the thing that jumps out is the red colors. In the moto it looks orange, in the Z it looks much more red. Again, if I had to guess the Z got it right.

Now, this is all great with plants, rocks, and garden hoses, but what happens when you take a picture of people? Those Moto pics are going to look off, like people's faces look like cake and lack the proper color it needs.

In every shop there are phones where you can test them.

There are more tests in the net as you could ever read in your lifetime.

So if you don't like it don't buy it.
