[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyperbioenzo:
I'm using a Sony SO-02F, Docomo version.

I followed this thread and created a pre-rooted firmware using PRFCreator.

The firmware was downloaded from here: http://firmwaremobile.com/index.php/xperiadownload/category/44-z1-compact

I downloaded the 3rd one, M51w_14.4.A.0.108_CN, for I'm in China.

The problem is: there's no Gapps embedded in this firmware!

So there's no Gapps in my phone. Not in the app drawer.

I tried to add a Gapp.zip, which is downloaded from Cyanogenmod, into the PRFCreator in 'extra zip'.

But this is not working.

Tried to flash the Gapp.zip in recovery, still not working.

Tried to install the apk files after booted into system with ES, apps can be installed but the google service framework fails every 5 second.

Can someone let me know how to install Gapps?

Many thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonryder:
maybe you can try to flash the GApps from this Stock ROM HERE

but no guarranty!

Hello everyone,

I made this topic so everyone can mention things he/she like or dislike about new Lollipop updates and things you want Samsung to consider on the coming updates.

Things i like

1. The sound on speaker and headset seem much higher.

2. The camera app seem faster on every aspect.

3. Ability to change folders color.

4. Recent app is smoother and faster.

Things i dislike.

1. Shout icon on the camera app moved from edge part of the screen.

2. Heads-up notification is useless on the edge device and samsung was better to disable it.

Other things i leave for you guys to comment and discuss
[Note Edge General] mscion:
I'm on T-mobile so I don't have lollipop update yet but I'm surprised you didn't mention ART. Do you see a significant improvement in performance? Especially in the UI. I noticed a big difference on my Note 3 when updating to Lollipop.
[Note Edge General] Kri$:
Don't have 5.0.1 yet, only read opinions of Note 4 users.

I heard that there is no silent mode, just only vibrations and normal sound.

Second - now you can't block calls, notifications etc. (blocking mode) from X hour to Y hour. Now it has name "ALL" (wtf?) and i heard it's worse than older "blocking mode".

For me worst thing in Lollipop is this one you mention in point 1.

Camera button on edge was perfect, and now it's in the same place like in others phones :(

Maybe there is chance to install camera from 4.4.4 ? Because it's only thing that keeps me from upgrading system from KK to LP.
[Note Edge General] almaqdad:
Yep i didnt mention all goodies.

*Definitely there is a significant improvement in performance du. to ART.

*Silent mode is exist and works.

* there is 'Do not disturb' mode and you can enable schedule option and seem more advance than blocking mode.
[Note Edge General] almaqdad:
Need more information from you. Then i will update the list in the first post
[Note Edge General] millab:
Likes:

'Places' functionality and associated edge panel

Dislikes:

With the flip case and no lock screen, on opening the cover the express me panel appears on the edge, rather than the first selected edge panel. So that means I don't have my list of app shortcuts! Even pressing 'Home' doesn't bring them up. I have to swipe the edge to get it to work
[Note Edge General] mehdi.zombie:
lollipop

Can i have lollipop on n915f ??
[Note Edge General] TirithXiato:
millab, I dont have that issue.... Strange it's doing that for you.

Can anyone upload the 4.4.4 camera apk? I hate the location of the camera button now...

-sent from the edge of the note galaxy-
[Note Edge General] Just about right:
Of course you can. I am currently running lollipop, but you have to root your device and then install it via odin. If you need help just pm me and I will be glad to help.
[Note Edge General] Schmurtz1968:
Agree with point four (things you like) and generaly speaking UI is more smooth.

Desagree with point one you dislike. To much unintationnaly shutter trigger. So the move is welcome for me. Maybe on option/setting to have the choice will be good for everyone.

Totally agree with point two about notification redondancy.

What i miss is auto-MMS download. Looks like to be broken (BOC6).
[Note Edge General] knlgSeeker:
I use hangouts & auto MMS download works fine.

I honestly don't dislike anything on lollipop compared to kitkat. The camera button placement is no big deal, I use voice control if it's inconvenient to use the botton.
[Note Edge General] Schmurtz1968:
Unfortunately even with Hangouts, auto-mms download doens't work since BOC6, stock or cooked rom (french langage)
[Note Edge General] Tarototh:
I likey

Since NO carrier or store has the white model Edge, I opted to order the international sm-n9150 from an import/export mail order. This allowed me to use T-Mobile since they allow all unlocked phones to be brought in. And... AND I didn't realise this when I purchased it but I don't have to wait for the carrier approved OTA for lollipop, I just get the Samsung official update as soon as they release it! I will be getting international models from now on just for this reason. It's the second best thing to nexus immediate updates as I only have to wait for ONE layer of delay (Samsung's) not two (Samsung's AND the carriers). Also, no carrier bloat.

Lollipop is pretty. Material design is nice. Lots of little graphical touches add to the android UI VERY nicely. I'm aware that touch wiz negates quite a few of these touches but I still really like it.

My 4.4.4 note edge had issues where it would stutter upon touching the screen to swipe, and instead of swiping, it would register a TAP and open the app or button under my finger. This annoyance had been immediately alleviated... I can't actually remember it happening once since I updated.

ART makes a difference. Chrome and many apps scroll almost TOO fast.

Haven't objectively measured battery effect yet. So far it's no worse or better, but it's been a short time and I'm playing with the phone as lot.

Right after my update, i felt the system was choppy and stuttery. But i planned to After I update, to do a system factory reset. Recommended for such a large update, and a couple times a year anyway. After that and after a couple reboots, all the caches and temp files seem to be settled in and it's buttery smooth almost everywhere. I also activated developer options and put all my screen animations to 2x. Yes this makes them slower but oh so pretty!!!!

Notifications are so nice. I agree with earlier poster that the pop up notifications that float over the top bar could go away since the edge bar should handle that but it's a small thing.

The place where some animation chop still happens is Samsung's app drawer scrolling. It's not always but it's there very slightly. This goes away if you use a nice launcher replacement like Next Launcher or etc. I have yet to set a launcher replacement, I'm going to use the default launcher for a while to see all the changes. So far so good.

All the people complaining about radical changes for the worse when they update, are doing something wrong. Factory reset after updating!!!!
[Note Edge General] Tarototh:
In earlier days of hangouts, pre Galaxy Edge, I had a devil of a time getting MMS even after they "fixed" it and other users reported it works. So I feel the pain!!!

However, I can report I just tested it again by sending pictures to myself on hangouts and:

-with mobile data OFF and WiFi on, MMS does not come in.

-with normal mobile data on, it does. This is the normal usage scenario for 99% of times anyway so I'm OK with it.

This is normal i believe l since MMS is part of a data standard that uses the cellular audio channel the way SMS does. It's an old format that needs to be replaced. (SMS too)

Anyway it does work. Ensure you are not using WiFi only is my suggestion...
[Note Edge General] kuailan:
Personally i love and will stay with the loly...the only thing im praying now is for xopsed to work with the edge. Hopefully they will come up with a fix soon..:thumbup:
[Note Edge General] countryg1rl:
I hate it and I'm stuck with it. I want kitkat back on my phone.
[Note Edge General] xxswagga1xx:
Why don't you like lollipop? Im still with kitkat 4.4.4, I have AT&T, I haven't updated yet. I keep wifi OFF so it won't download...

I know about the camera button being moved, what else dont u like?
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
Haven't had that much time to assess Lollipop on my SM-N915S (Exynos), but really hate the camera button, placed on the edge screen was perfect (for me) on KK

Have noticed that the kernel LMK OOM minfrees and adj have the wrong permissions and you can't change them. Fixed it in my SkyHigh custom kernel though ;)

Also, noticed the minfree values have increased from KK, so may help keep a smoother ROM (freeing up more RAM for intensive tasks) at the expense of less multi-tasking

Device appears a little smoother, but wish Sammy would unlock 64bit for Exynos5433 device. I hate they keep it neutered for the sake of keeping Qualcomm SD 805 customers happy. :mad:

Cheers,

UITA

Problems since Lollipop update

Hi. I updated to Lollipop last night and I've noticed a couple of issues today. First, I keep getting a security notice stating "Unauthorized actions have been detected." When I tap the notification, it goes away and then comes back again in a few minutes. I've tried updating my security policy, but that hasn't helped. Second, I hate the floating notifications that pop up at the same time as the edge notifications. It's like AT&T gave me the Galaxy Note 4 Update instead of the one for the Edge. Considering that they also moved the photo button to the main screen, this seems fairly likely. I've also noticed that my RAM status shows that I'm using 2.05/2.71 GB with no apps running. What?!

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

Wouldn't a factory reset take you right back to 4.4.4 kitkat?
[Note Edge General] TirithXiato:
No, factory reset keeps you on current firmware
[Note Edge General] Droid-o-matic:
I would like the shutter button back on the edge...without having to root.

I wonder why they changed that.

Hmmmm.....
[Note Edge General] countryg1rl:
It lags, sticks, text messaging is ugly in colors and not crystal clear like the KK.
[Note Edge General] angelis:
Since I updated, my Bluetooth has been horrible. It connect and disconnects constantly with my watch and my car.

It's also very sluggish sometimes and notifications are slow to appear, even delayed 30 seconds or more sometimes.
[Note Edge General] xxswagga1xx:
I haven't updated yet, I keep my WIFI off so it wont download, lol... What I hate the most is the camera button moved from edge screen :( , now that's silly...
[Note Edge General] MSK1:
Can someone describe exactly how the camera button has moved?

Is it still on the edge. .. but in the middle. .. or is it now on the screen?

Pics would be helpful if possible. ..
[Note Edge General] Budge:
As you can see, the button has been greatly enlarged and moved to the bottom middle of the main scteen in either orientation. The black section on the side represents the edge screen.
[Note Edge General] xxswagga1xx:
Budge just posted a pic of it right b4 this reply, check it out... Cam button moved to screen just like every other phone
[Note Edge General] waco2hot33:
Have not received the update for verizon yet waiting patiently would love to see it up in running on the edge my wife has it on her note 4 looks great but she's always complaining about it freezing a lot now !
[Note Edge General] MSK1:
Thanks.

Unless I'm being really dumb here. ... if u are taking a picture in landscape that location is 100 times easier to click a picture with

You hold the phone with your thumb and second finger. ... whilst clicking away with your first finger. ...

Your first finger has a shorter distance to travel or reach this way. ...

---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

Although I can see the main screen is not a 100% view finder now
[Note Edge General] countryg1rl:
I miss having the camera button on the Edge part of the screen as well. It is too buggy and laggy. Not as crystal clear as the KK! It looks like it has white film over the screen.
[Note Edge General] angelis:
My Bluetooth is so messed up I'm about ready to get rid of the phone. It crashes, contacts crashes, and the phone is very sluggish. I'm about to call AT&T for all the good that will do.
[Note Edge General] Lockett:
Its always good practice to do a factory reset after taking major OS updates. That generally fixes the little issues most experience.
[Note Edge General] platniumrover:
Do not disturb does not work for me. The button on the edge to take pictures is gone. I just dont get these idiots. They make an update and remove all the things I liked about the device. I been trying to figure out how to revert all day :(

---------- Post added at 03:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 AM ----------

And I have done 4 hard resets.
[Note Edge General] rvb1:
The most noticeable problem I have had since the update is a lag in people being able to hear me on calls. I have to wait about 2 seconds before I say hello. This was never a problem for me before the update.
[Note Edge General] Tarototh:
Regarding RAM, in android and all low power mobile platforms, you want your RAM full all the time. In Fact you get no say on the matter. In android OS dynamic allocation of RAM goes on constantly. Whatever app you used last is resident in active memory (for those who don't know, RAM is your temporary fast memory used to buffer your current tasks, not to be confused with the storage memory which is also measured in gigabytes). Active memory uses electricity to work, no matter if you're RAM is full or empty, it is drawing power from your battery on the same amount. Therefore IT IS A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY to have your RAM empty, just drawing power. Instead, android buffers your recently used apps in RAM until newer high priorities come up. As soon as a new app loads, the least used tasks in your RAM are cleared to make room, dynamically in real time, constantly.

Why keep tasks buffered in RAM? Why not run the app straight from storage? RAM is much much faster. The trade off for speed is it's expensive and uses electricity and loses its content when power is cut. Storage memory is cheaper (that's why you get 64gb or more), slower, only uses electricity during a write/read cycle and retains content when power is cut.

Soo answer your point about RAM, it is normal and desirable for your ram to be full all the time. It means it's doing it's job and making your phone run faster.
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
To whom are you replying to? Could have missed it, but don't see any correlation to any user post or statement....

In future please quote so users don't have to put two and two together ;)
[Note Edge General] Budge:
I think he's replying to my post earlier about how my I have little available RAM since updating to Lollipop. Thanks Tarototh.
[Note Edge General] sand1303:
My blocking mode still lets me set a time. Its listed as do not disturb mode now.

I did a full wipe before updating. I hear a lot of people saying they are having problems. Even guys with the note 4. My update has done nothing but run smooth. Camera button is the only dislike i have.
[Note Edge General] Lumonus:
Camera gone from edge screen

The worst feature of lollipop update is that the camera layout has been brought down to main screen.

I certainly liked it on edge screen :(
[Note Edge General] xxswagga1xx:
EXACT reason why I haven't updated to lolli 5.0.1 , hoping next lolli update will put cam button where it belongs :)
[Note Edge General] DionWhite33:
You should have bought from Swappa. You could have gotten Tmobile Edge in white...check them out. They are a very legit company as well when I sold my first edge which was an AT&T version they send you a five digit number that you have to write on a piece of paper and take a picture of that number holding it with the phone they also want a copy of your drivers license as well, they go to great lengths to make sure that you get a great quality phone... But maybe you can try them next time
[Note Edge General] petethepete2000:
you can turn off pop up notifications in settings.

But also in text message settings turn the quick reply actionable popup notification, which i find useful.
[Note Edge General] fidocampeao:
I don't really understand why people dislike heads on notifications, and you can disable them, just use the app heads off, but you can disable the Edge notification for some apps (I rather read the content of the message instead of just acknowledge there is one and have to open the app to read). I'm still on kk, since there's no lollipop on Brazil yet, but I used lollipop in g3 and miss a lot the Google disabling security on lockscreen thing. I'm very disappointed about the camera button but I'm sure they'll change it back in the future.

Any updates on this? I held back updating to lollipop because of the camera button location.... has this changed?
[Note Edge General] cerwinmunsayac:
Same. Would like to know if the camera button is back on the edge screen in a update?

How do you turn off pop up notifications

No I'm on MM and it's still not back on the Edge screen. Don't understand how anyone would prefer this. its not ergonomic at all

Hi all... i am on MM and the camera button is not even needed. I use the volume rockers to make a picture. Maby android L has this function too. Problem solved ;)

The ability to change colors of the folder was already on the S5 from launch but for some reason Samsung messed up and didn't add it to the Note 4 till Lollipop. Also the gallery is a blinding white while the S5's gallery on Lollipop has this tealish color at the top.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikesmccurdy:
I am curious if the modems and radios will be compatible when switching my TMobile SGH-M919 from Simple Mobile to H20 that I understand runs on the ATT network. I'm having difficulty unlocking my phone as the processes listed on here do not work so I paid an online service for instructions. When I get them I'd like to switch. Also I'm curious why my Simple Mobile SIM works in the phone without unlocking and the H20 won't. I imagine it is because it is a TMobile phone and Simple runs on their network but thought I would ask to be sure. I look forward to any response I get. Thanks in advance!

I'm interested in listening to podcasts with Google Play Music playing in the background at low volume. I can lower the volume in Play Music independently by using the equalizer and moving all the sliders to the bottom. I just can't get it to keep playing when I start a podcast in BeyondPod. They both take control of the audio focus. Does anyone know of a way to prevent specific apps from taking control of audio focus?
