You can activate reactivation lock to prevent unauthorized flash in recovery.

Still there are ways to bypass it. So it's hackable anyway.

I didn't mean flash so much, rather just copy and install malware from the external sd into the system partition, so on next boot the phone would be infected?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MynticeLX:
I used to use Automatica Autotether to turn on my S5 Hotspot when my phone connected to the bluetooth of my car. Unfortunately, since the lollipop update - that app no longer works. I tried to set up a tasker solution for it as well, but for some reason I can't get tasker to turn on the hotspot either.

Does anyone know of another app or tasker script that would enable the hotspot when bluetooth connects?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MynticeLX:
Has anyone figured this out yet? I think tasker might be my best option..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapunzl:
I think Llama would do the same as tasker if tasker is too complicated.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MynticeLX:
It's not that Tasker is too difficult - it's that it physically can't turn on the hotspot.. even with Secure Settings. I tried Llama just now and it has the same issues as tasker and AutoTether. Samsung changed something between KK and Lollipop that keeps us from turning it on.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MynticeLX:
Is there anyway to sniff what the activity name is once it starts? I maybe could write a specific action from tasker if I can find out the action name inside the activity. I have a feeling that they just renamed it with Lollipop update.

Hi,

I rooted my phone the other day everything went well, but since I rooted I have not been able to connect to my WI-FI. The other thing is too I am unable to connect to Samsung Kies 3 now. Driver are all installed right. The one thing I did do is I reset it and that didn’t help.

Hope I have enough info I’m new to all this.

My Phone Info:

Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337

Thanks,

Before rooting your phone, you had to Odin the NC1 kernel. Did you Odin the NJ4 kernel after you rooted?

You may want to Odin it again, just to be safe.

You can grab it from here.. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/how-to-root-i337ucufnj4-4-4-4-11-13-2014-t2939553

Hi-and thank you for responding.

Are you saying to re-root my phone? Because my phone is rooted. The information provided in the link, is the procedure I followed. I did have a problem when I first tried flashing the NC1, but I download the file again and it worked, other than that, everting is worked fine except for the Wi-Fi and Samsung Kies. I did read where it was posted, to re-flash the NC4 kernel again, which I didn’t try, didn’t make much sense seeing that it is rooted. I also have FX, Root Checker and SuperSU installed.

Should I try re-flashing the NJ4 again?

Or try rooting again? If so do I have to un-root my phone?

Thank you for your quick response.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] guut13:
The directions to root NJ4 are

1. Odin the NC1 kernel

2. Root with towelroot

3. Odin the NJ4 kernel.

My suggestion is to complete the root process by doing step 3. Once you do that, wifi will work again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Whard42:
Thank you, thank you, that worked. Only had Odin the NC1 and NJ4.

Hi,

I've just been reading for the last 4 hours, searching for a solution to my problem of the Hermes not working with my bluetooth nokia car kit.

Specifically, I'm getting serious breakup in areas with perfect reception.

People on the other end of the connection are hearing serious ghosting of their and my voice. Other times, the phone is crystal clear.

The phone doesn't seem to be losing sync and has always paired as soon as I get in the car and turn it on.

I bought this as a business tool and at the moment it isn't worth squat to me.

I have read as much as I can and implore someone to tell me if this issue can be fixed, and if so, point me in the direction of what I need to upgrade without all the acronyms. And yes I have read the wiki :)

Below are my spec on the unit.

Thanks in advance.

ROM; 1.31.305.2

Rom Date: 09/08/06

Have you tried this software? it has additional support for the nokia HS-12W and a 30 day trial.

http://www.jetwaremobile.com

worked for my bmw x5 BT when nothing else would.

Other options would be to upgrade the radio to 1.40 and/or OS to one of the wm6 variants excluding black 3.0 and 3.1

i noticed big hands free improvements with the BT stack on wm6, to the point where I didn't need jetware anymore.

good luck!

Im running low on space in my phone so i decided to move my titanium backup folder to the external sd card. However, its says the folder is not writable. Any way I can solve this ? Im running 5.0 and have xposed installed

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unifex_:
Sorry for the noob question, but could you explain that? With the stock File manager I can copy/move files to the external memory card. So is that file manager not part of Android or do you mean that apps are not allowed to write to the sd card? But the the stock camera can - all my photos are on sd card ...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
try a custom kernel; stock kernel usually has /system write protection enabled so it won't allow changes to stick to the system partition

EDIT: or change the file while booted into custom recovery (ie pull the file, edit it, push it back, make sure permissions are correct)

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

IF (yes big if) i remember correctly, only system apps have [full] access to the sdcard, all user apps only have access to their respective directories.

you can do it yourself in TWRP:

edit the platform.xml using notepad++ or similar (not Windows Notepad!)

adb push platform.xml /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml

Only for the platform.xml part.....and usually if an app can write to ext_sd then this should be fix for that not writeable part.

If your device is S-On I do believe you still need a write protection disabled kernel. If S-Off, only an insecure kernel is good enough. (Talking about modifying files on system partition)

[G Pad 8.3 General] webking1:
Hi. I have a very strange question. It could have been asked and answered before. Apologies.

I am trying to install this Tablet into my car's dash. My plans are:

1. Secure it to the car stereo area

2. Run a new wire from a fuse box to power the device when the car starts and shut it down when the car is off OR tab into an accessories power line with proper power converter 12v DC to the tablet's standard output (5v?)

3. Remove the battery so that it won't melt when it gets hot in the summer

Will my plan work or you have suggestions for me. What are my options if I want to do this?

Will the unit still work if the battery is removed and only runs from the power line?

Please provide constructive advice. Thanks kindly.
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hi! Good luck with your project. I'm afraid I have no advise I just wanted to say I hope you give updates with your progress, and also that you might want to mention which model you have since there's at least three or more variants of the 8.3.

Sent from my VK810 4G
[G Pad 8.3 General] shinkien:
the problem with the electricity in the car is that its uneven, especially during crank and that might damage the tablet or your car. you'd also have to wait for cold boot every time you turn the car on. what you can probably do is just leave the battery and connect the tablet to a dc-usb charger and set up a tasker profile that would auto shut off screen, gps and data when there's no power connected. there's a thread here on xda of someone getting a nexus 7 fully integrated into their car. i'm trying to get one on mine as well but 7inches is just too small of a screen for my truck's dash and i'm still looking for some good alternatives. hope this helps, good luck.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Crystawth:
Ok, it may be possible if you tie into the positive and negative battery inputs inside the case. If you do that, your dc converter needs to be at 4 volts. The battery is nominal 3.7 with 4.2 being fully charged. 5v would probably kill your device. 5v is only for usb charging input which the tablet converts to 4.2 for charging. Removing the battery and applying voltage directly bypasses this conversion circuit.

---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------

Just be careful and understand it may not work, or you may kill your device if you mess up.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] galaxynote2:
I'm going to downscale the device resolution to 1080p for a few days if the 2K screen really affects the battery that bad.. If you want to do this, download Resolution Changer from Google Play, and set the screen res to 1080x1920 480 dpi, apply and reboot (important to reboot, if not, the UI will be messed up)

Going to edit this in 3 days. Cheers!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] scoopdreams:
Unless you only use up exactly 1920x1080 pixels on the screen battery life is not going to change much.

Right now that resolution just causes the screen to upscale so the only battery savings would be from the gpu working less driving a lower resolution. The screen which is the main batt hog will still be drawing power as per normal.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sublation:
Unless you are 3D gaming at 2K then there will be little savings if any. 2D is pretty easy to render at 2K Resolution. And the GPU is probably optimized for 2K and NOT 1080p. So you might actually see a performance decrease running lower resolutions like the old days of Voodoo2 GPU on PC. I dont know... benchmark it and see.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
There is no such a optimization for a specific resolution.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jonathan-H:
Good job you work for Samsung and are privvy to their device drivers etc and cleared that up for us.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
Exactly that.

To the moderator's, just close this thread before it becomes a cesspool.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bnghty:
unfortunately, this is the correct response. even though the human eye cannot spot the difference between 2K and 1080p if the screen isn't right on your eyes (there have been several articles about it on XDA portal..interesting reading), lowering the resolution on this device is useless as your phone will power the extra pixles(they are still there) but the GPU just won't process them.

2K was and will be a marking gimmik to sell more phones. just like 64 bit.

hopefully we'll see a 5.5' flagship this year with 1080p- same view as 2K on 5.5' screens and with 6+ SOT easily.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Simonetti2011:
That is correct, but there's one more thing:

the GPU won't work less. Whatever power is saved not having to draw the full size of the screen, will be spent upscalling the 1920x1080 image to 2560x1440. I bet that this upscalling can draw even more power from the battery than simply let it work on its native resolution.

So, if your intention is to save power, reducing the resolution is a bad idea, and it is totally useless.

The only reason to lower the resolution is if you have eyesight problems.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
With Snapdragon 810 forget about it xD

The LG G Flex 2 has a poor battery life taking in mind the Full HD+ 3000mAh + the supposed lower power Snapdragon 810.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bnghty:
''Thankfully, the battery isn't as persnickety as the rest of the phone: It typically managed about 13 hours on a single charge, all while I was futzing around in HipChat and Hangouts, firing off emails from CloudMagic and playing the occasional documentary in the background on YouTube. When it came time for our standard video-rundown test (all together now: looping a 720p video with screen brightness set to 50 percent), the new G Flex held out for ten hours and 13 minutes before needing a top-up. As it turns out, the charger's no slouch either; it takes the phone from 0 to 50 percent in about an hour, and it'll top off the battery completely in less than an hour after that.''

http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/18/lg-g-flex-2-review/

I'm reading mixed reviews about the LG F Flex 2. however all in all I don't think 10 SOT at 50% brightness is less than amazing (they didn't put a chart showing comparisons to other phones, but personally I don't get more then 5.5 SOT on the note 4 no matter what)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
Personal usages are subjective and I don't care about them.

It is not 10hours of SOT in normal usage, it was a test.

In GSMarena where they do pretty well battery Test comparisons, they show a mediocre scores from what you should have expected.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alex9898:
At The same standard-test, Engadget says that Note 4 get 13h.

But 50% brightness on Note 4 is two times higher (291nits) than on the GFlex 2 (152nits).

So results are pretty poor on the Gflex 2 considering the fact that both have the same max brightness.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] darekz:
Once you use phone with Gear VR you will know that even 2K is not enough.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
And you also have to take in mind pentile matrix. A RGB panel with the same resolution looks more shaper.
