[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateuszd:
Hi guys

I need some quick help identifying what happened to my S4. It's not bricked by the way, it's just some weird debugging mode which became enabled.

I have just sold it on eBay, and therefore I performed a standard factory reset followed instantly by a standard ODIN flash of the official latest firmware to remove root (which is something I've done many times on this phone without an issue).

However this time, since I did it, everytime I turn the phone on, just before the standard Samsung Galaxy S4 logo appears, I get a strange flashing screen which displays some technical details on the phone (different to the one I used to have when running a custom kernel) which include: serial number, Knox status, power on reason, some CPU details and in particular, a line saying debug mode level: medium. I have never came across it so I tried removing the battery and re-flashing the software, neither of which have helped.

I would like to find out if anyone had come across this and if so, how could this be revered back as I need to ship the phone to the buyer.

Attached is the photo I managed to capture with my DSLR which shows more detail... Please help.

Thanks a lot

Regards

Go to recovery and make a factory reset, when the galaxy s4 logo shows up remove the battery immediately, wait 5 seconds then go to download mode and flash the firmware, after the device reboots make a factory reset again
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateuszd:
Will try that, what I did so far is flashing the latest Black Edition rom which removed the issue and then flashing back the latest normal ROM and the issue came back straight away. It's like a weird bootloader it comes with.

I'm downloading an older ROM from March as this is the one I flashed a while ago and had no problems with.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateuszd:
Fixed it, just downloaded I9505XXUFNB8 which is from March and flashed it, then, updated over OTA. It's now on latest version without the weird bootscreen issue.

What's strange is that it was an official (latest) build downloaded from SamMobile and later downloaded again though SamFirm tool and both produced same behaviour yet upgrading to it though OTA did not cause the issue. :)

Thanks

Obviously like the title saysim new to flashing samsung devices, i have flashed lots of nexus devices and a few motorola and some tablets, but never used odin until i rooted the note 4.

My questions pertain to flashing a new rom. Id like to find one that keeps as much of the features of the phone as possible id even like to keep touchwiz surprisingly ..i always thought touchwiz was nothing special and just cuased the phone to have less performance but that was going by others statements reading about samsung devices in the past...

really im just not sure what roms i can flash or if it matters what build i have now and what roms i flash from it.

can i flash any rom in tmobile note 4 sections, and i also have a unlocked tmobile device that is running on net 10 wwith at&t towers i dnt kno if that makes a difference. Not sure if i need to flash certsin kernel or modem or anything else ive read a bunch, but its going to take forever to read thru everything. The help is appreciated thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
Make sure you are on the newest baseband. I believe it is NK4. If you have that you can Fila ah any of the ROMs in the Tmobile note 4 development section. I recommend FireKat, if you want to keep TW.

it's pretty simple. Samsung phones are fairly development friendly and pretty tough to jack up.

I have a g870a and havnt really found any custom or even recent roms for it.

I tried koolkat but it wouldn't remember wifi passwords and after a week of no solution i ditched it.

I'm running stock rooted 4.4.2 and would like to know how to update and keep root and if anyone knows of a lollipop 5 rom that i could simply flash in safestrap
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
You can't until AT&T drops the official 5.0 due to locked bootloader and incompatible kernel and inability to flash any custom kernels
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
easy fix for the wifi password issue:

WiFi always prompting for password FIX:

To Fix the WiFi password issue:

using a root explorer (esfile explorer is included in the rom)

browse to /system/build.prop

open it for editing

scroll down until you find this line

ro.securestorage.support=true

delete the entire line and save the build.prop then reboot your device.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathpickle8000:
My phone just arrived. I've plugged it in to make sure it's alive, it stated low battery so I've unplugged it and moved elsewhere. Now ever since I plugged it back in, it vibrates, constantly. It even plays vibrates over the top of it's constant buzz. It operates perfectly fine otherwise, it boots and I've set up my google account. Just curious if there was a way to solve this besides waiting out the battery.

Edit: smothering the power button to force it to turn off, even when it refuses to turn on due to lack of battery or even show anything on screen does stop the vibration. Guess it's a faulty device or something :/ *sigh*

Turns out that as soon as it vibrates it continuously vibrates at a low mode forever. So it can be fine until you plug in a charger, or receive a notification, then it's back to perma vibrate.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hanswurst02:
Hey guys,

the language on my phone is English but in Google Now I have German as a second language to pronounce street names etc accordingly.

On my G Watch R this does not work. It is only English and german is not recognized.

My question is, is there a way to have english on the phone and german on the watch? Or that the watch can understand both like Google Now does?

Maybe to set the locale of the Android Wear app to german? Or is it tied in with Google Now? Or do I have to change the language of the phone itself?

Thank you.

[Amazon Fire Phone] rampyDinc:
Anybody have an older version of Netflix or HBOGO that is still functional? Or other tricks/hacks?

I sideloaded from the google play store Netflix and HBOGO and there must be some detection built in that disables the stream to chromecast icon on amazon fire phones (can't imagine why, oh yeah maybe it's because they have a competing hdmi streaming stick product)

I've read on other support forums that people have tried the same build netflix .apk on regular android devices and the chromecast streaming works fine, but is disabled when the same .apk is loaded on the amazon fire phone. Also, prior to around April 2014 it seems chromecast features DID work in Netflix/HBOgo apps on the fire phone. Which definitely smells like dirty pool to me.

thanks in advance...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giannisgr1:
Hello to everyone,

I have a Note 4 N910F with stock Android 5.0.1 and i have seen some issues with the ambient display.

With this feature the phone is supposed to turn its screen on every time a notification arrives. My phone turns its screen on for some notifications like messages and viber but for other applications the screen doesnt turn on. Allthough if i press the home screen the notification is there on the lock screen.

Its kinda annoying thing because thats one of the major functions about android lollipop.

I would like to mention that its not any settings problem because all the notifications for its application are enabled on my phone.

If anyone knows if this is normal or software issue or application issue it would be very helpful. Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motokenny:
First of all... How did you get ambient display to work?

I don't have the option although sammobile posted a video with a lollipop rom having this feature.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giannisgr1:
I dont know if i am right but by ambient display i mean that when a notification arrives it appears on the lock screen and the screen turns on.

For me for some apps the notification is on the lock screen and the screen doesnt wake but for other apps like messages and viber both notifications and screen wake is there.

for that reason i use an app that whenever there is a new notification the screen turns on.

Hey. Could you share your csc files so that I can enable amibent display on my device?? Your device must have it only because the country you're in.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
That's not ambient display. This function is missing in the recent release of 5.0.1 touchwiz. Sammobile did show it being there in the sound and notification menu above the daydream option but seems Samsung left it out in the release. I'm thinking that the delay with release for other European countries is due to bugs and missing items, I'm not sure. The original delay was to get tw lollipop to work with the vr headset. At present its hit and miss with notifications lighting up the screen when they arrive. Some apps do it and some don't. Ambient display is where you pick up the phone and notifications are shown in black and white for quick glance as is the case for nexus 6 lollipop or cm12. I'm hoping the rollout to other countries well have solved the missing ambient display and the priority notification not having any time option like in blocking mode on kk.

I was reading all I could about my phone, since I bought a non working one from ebay, and when I read the info about the qualcomm 6250 chip it says that there is a gps receiver built into the chip. I'm wondering if anyone has thought about what it would take to get this gps engine working. For instance is anyone working on the linux version trying to get the gps up and running?

Furthermore I ran across this post

http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=3756

Is it possible that htc will enable the gps engine in an update for the universal? These may be newb questions, and if so sorry about that, but if I can save $85 on a bt gps receiver, I figure it's worth asking. Lemme know what you people know/think about this.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Viper®:
As far as i know the Universal does not have a hardware gps receiver and will not be able to ever pick up a gps positioning signal because of this.

It's true that in atleast one HTC model there was a gps receiver in the chipset which was disabled at first due to driver issues, and later activated.

I'd buy the BT gps receiver :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] apd:
This has been debated in the past but the old threads seem to have been removed. There is apparently a suggestion that the Uni has limited GPS hardware but it has no GPS antenna so it could never be used.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] no1:
According to Mamaich, the Universal *does* have GPS, but the unit is missing the necessary amplifier and antenna to make it work.
