[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MissLaniS:
I still have yet to fix my issue with storage. For some reason I have no Phone storage left, but almost all of my SD card storage is still empty. I thought that pictures and stuff were supposed to be stored on SD card.. or am I wrong??

Well that is not my major issue at the moment. I am actually having a problem with "write-protection"

I plugged my phone into my PC so that I can move my pictures and videos and stuff over to my SD card...

So i put my device USB Connection as a "camera (PTP)"

I found my photos, moved them to the SD card... and I wanted to delete them from the Phone Storage and when I try to delete a folder or file or anything from Phone Storage, it says "can not delete, the storage is write-protected"...

I have heard of it doing this when trying to delete from SD card... but why is m y phone saying that when I am trying to delete form the Phone Storage??

Can someone please help me out with this? I would appreciate it.. Thanks Guys!!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
I hope this answers your question...

Many of the phones doesn't default to storing information to the MicroSD because it provides internal memory and not everyone uses a MicroSD.

There are 1 and/or 2 ways to tell the phone/app to store the information to the MicroSD.

1) Not all but, many apps have an option where you can specify where to store the information (Some of the Verbiage used is MicroSD, External Card, Etc...).

.

2) Many but, not all phones have an option in their settings with an option to use an alternate location where to store the information (Some of the Verbiage used is MicroSD, External Card, Etc...).

Also, there is an app called "Link2SD" that i do use to handle where i can specify where to locate some/all the apps i install (External Storage.MicroSD, ext2 partition, etc...).

Link2SD does take a bit of getting used to on how to use it but, the developer (Bulent Akpinar) has a website that provides helpers.

Just keep in mind that most of the phone's capabilities are not automatic and requires you to do the work. :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MissLaniS:
reply

The major issue was not getting things to store onto my SD card... my issue is the fact that I hooked up my phone to my PC using USB connection... and I am moving stuff from my phone memory to my external SD card... then I wanna delete the stuff from my phone memory, that I moved to my SD card... but it wont let me delete anything... it is saying that the disk is write-protected... (the disk being my phone memory not the SD card)

It wont let me delete anything from myt Phone memory...

so i need to know why it is saying that my phone is write protected and how to change it so i can delete from my phone storage

I have a verizon galaxy s4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MissLaniS:
I have verizon galaxy s4...

& no... I am talking about my Phone storage not the SD card.... when i try to delete from my Phone storage, it says that it is write protected, and wont let me delete anything... ( i am hooked up to my PC using USB)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
I had a similar issue and the culprit was the file permissions on the PC.

Maybe on your PC, try right clicking the file/folder of what you want to delete (within the Phone via the PC) and in the property selection, edit the ownership to your PC profile or PC Admin (if you have admin rights).

Just a thought...:fingers-crossed:

FAQ

Question:

I'm trying to flash this rom but it says to me: "This package is for kmniltexx, kminiltedv, kminilteub; this device is kminilte. E:Error executing updater binary zip ...."

Answer:

The device names were changed with the newest CM12 build to be able to distinguish between G800F (kmniltexx), G800Y (kminiltedv) and G800M (kminilteub) as all of them are kminilte devices. The new builds of TWRP and CM12 detect the correct device at runtime.

Older TWRP releases (for example that of RVR in another XDA thread) still detect the device as kminilte (instead of kmniltexx,...) and hence are not able to install the new CM 12 releases so please do not install RVR's TWRP if you want to install CM 12. Always use the TWRP image linked in the first post of this thread.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] hennymcc:
For future use
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] martynasmck:
Thanks for great job. Looking forward to testing it soon!!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] stiffmeister75:
I also want to say BIG THANX!

My Phone now makes a backup and than i flash your rom

stiff
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] hennymcc:
I just noticed that the mic is muted on incoming calls. If you want to use the phone for daily use you should not the flash the ROM.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] stiffmeister75:
I flashed it already and can confirm, that the mic is off.

But it looks good so far. :good:

stiff
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] hennymcc:
It works for outgoing calls so I did not notice it before.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] stiffmeister75:
Do you know a workaroud?

btw. can you provide a patch with a fix?

or is it necessary to build a new rom?

stiff
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] wabre:
sorry my noob question: is this ROM going to be listed in the CM12 nightlies or how will it work? is it an unofficial one yet or... thanks
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] hennymcc:
It is not official and there won't be nightlies. At the moment there are no plans to get it into the official repo.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] hennymcc:
There is some work on this at the moment but no fix yet. Seems as if the audio implementation has to be adjusted a bit. I don't know how much work there is left. As this is a spare time project, this might take some time.

When it works there will be a new ROM for download.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] basic086:
Hey there, been using the rom for a couple hours and I must say, you've done a great job ! The interface is faster than stock touchwiz, and everything runs really smoothly ! I've only encountered two small issues (apart from the incoming call muted mic) :

-when waking up the device, the lockscreen seems to freeze itself (touch doesnt respond), so to fix it, you have to press power button and wake it up again (happened sometimes)

-noticed something strange: while the phone is asleep, the capacitative buttons would blink (they turn on for like 1sec and then turn itself off like a notification light). I'm pretty sure you'll be able to fix it, as it might be kernel related.

-(edit) and I've just realised that the left menu capacitive button doesn't work (but you probably already know this)

other than that, this rom is flawless for an Alpha ! Great job buddy :D

I was able to score 23 000 pts on Antutu vs 20 000 pts with stock 4.4.2 lol
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] passie99:
I have found an issue with the capacitive buttons on the bottom. I was not able to deactivate the lightning and some other settings does not work aswell..

But all in all great alpha, I really enjoyed it ?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] wogooo:
Omg! For my phone!

How cool! I will wait for beta i think...but keep up the good work, i will use it someday :D

And ill try to help to get ppl to know this thread :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] hennymcc:
Will be fixed with the next build.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] DerMoeJoe:
i can confirm, that somethimes the capacitive buttons doent work/react.

and the bigger problem is that the micro doent work. (worst problem for me)

and one more problem... the sound on my alarm somethimes got some glitches/sound stops too.

i'll backup the new CM12 and than restore my old backup back... until these errors are fixed.

but, most important, very good work! respect. can i give you a donation ?

great work!

I also can confirm that the mic for incoming calls does not work and it also doesn't work for either incoming or outgoing calls when using a headset. Haven't used a bluetooth headset yet but will test it later that day.

Many thanks so far for this built and I hope the mic bugs won't be a big deal. :)

You have a G800F and not a G800H or another variant?

If it is a G800F try to reflash it, maybe somethin went wrong. What is the stock ROM you currently have installed? Is it the newest one - can you give me the version number?
[Galaxy S6 General] boodies:
I love samsung to death because they deserve it bringing year after year, great products. But their speakers are freakin bad. JK Shin had a great speech, I agree but at a snails pace.... And the other chick needs some serious pronunciation lessons. WTF samsung hire some damn speakers. It seriously takes away from the product announcement.
[Galaxy S6 General] fix-this!:
apple will sue the hell outta them before launch. that design is a blatant ripoff of the iphone 6.
[Galaxy S6 General] boodies:
I don't even like the design tbh. I'll have to see it in person. This is because Samsung has given me the Note 4, what I consider to be the best looking phone to date.

ps - oh wow a new lady speaker that also needs help... she looks like some male warrior. cmon samsung cmon....
[Galaxy S6 General] chrisokaly:
in any language its a huge flop

same with the m9. makes my decision to buy the budget moto e 2015 last friday a much better option and wait for the oneplus2.
[Galaxy S6 General] boodies:
M9 is already a flop. Even comparing the Two announcemnts you can tell Samsung S6 is a much better phone. With the latest EMMC, best screen. Just wait till full review and these htc boys will wanna hide somewhere. The thing is HTC is BROKE... they can't really do RnD... why everything is a replay from last year mostly.

Did you signup with xda to write this... seriously, go back to htc forums man. Touchwiz lag seems to be a morons favorite word. Does Touchwiz lag? Gtfoh troll.

Anyway back to topic, it's good to see some good speakers coming out. The guy that looks like Mr.Bean is doing a great job lol

as i said big 0/2 for android today

Well there it was guys. This phone is about to break all records that all I'm gonna say.

Samsung, hire the Mr.Bean looking guy for the whole announcement.
[Galaxy S6 General] Stavr0s91i:
all cases are UGLY:p
[Galaxy S6 General] Fro1ex:
haha yes couldn't help but laugh when I saw this. Although I'm assuming it was a problem with the setup rather than a problem with the video recording.
[Galaxy S6 General] tony bowey:
ive had every galaxy actually, yet that still doesnt change the fact the video camera lagged while trying to make iphone look like idiots..
[Galaxy S6 General] ViRuS3k:
never mind the speaker what about the phone speaker, no one talked about that..... its probably cause its still crap.

also is it me or did samsung with one of those cases copy HTC`s DOT case technology ?

they also didnt talk about microsd i know there are none but they could have said why they didnt add one.

and battery they talk about more efficacy ect but why have a lower power battery compared to the s5`s....

think i will be going HTC this year.....

i just cant justify the negatives with the s6...

After couple of days testing and "keeping 24/7 on eye" my SPV M500...

i pritty sure the calibration problem (alignin screen) is connected with battery life.

few days ago i've frequently stayed wth battery under 30% and i use activesync to recharge battery but only for 15-20 min max.

(after charging battery sensor showed 100% for short time and then normally drop down on app. 75 or 80 or 65 depends on charging time)

these days i have couple of times that problem.

in the upper left corner screen was decalibrated by 0,5cm. The more i waiting the lenght was bigger (0,5->1>1,5cm). When i done with aligning screen everything is ok for couple of hours.

BUT

two days ago i put my phone on regular charger for a long time *2-3hrs

100% battery. etc etc

conclusaion: i havent this problem during that last two days

maybe im wrong but

my friend with qtek 9100 has some problems when battery reaches 30%.

- landscape mode does not work (30%)

- qwerty keyboard does not work (20-25%)

Some apps have persistent notifications, such as Wi-Fi Calling. I want the notification to show in the Notification bar, but not in the new Lollipop lock screen. Is there any way to hide specific notifications like that permanently in the lock screen?
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Settings>Sound>Lockscreen. That's the only option I know of.
[Sprint LG G3] dkratter14:
The only way I can think of to make that work is to set it to hide sensitive notifications, and somehow set the persistent apps to be marked as sensitive, and everything else as not sensitive. I haven't found anywhere to do that.

Ok, I have the sgh-i337m, found a nifty lollipop rom and downloaded and flashed it, everything's good. On that rom in the settings>about section, it said the model number was the i9505g, and I just assumed they were basically the same phone. I decided I wanted to try MIUI again, and looked on their site. I couldn't find one for the i337m, so i downloaded the i9505 version. Flashed it and whatnot, and it gets stuck on the booting animation. I thought okay no big deal, and tried restoring my lollipop rom. The restore looked like everything went well (the lollipop boot animation was playing), but it never booted up. I left it for hours. I thought ok time to cut my losses and downloaded a stock sasktel i337m firmware and fired up odin and download mode, and it isnt showing up on odin now and i'm realizing im an idiot. Also, it says 'Write Protection: Enabled' while in download mode, if that means anything. Anyone had this issue? Please tell me my phone isn't dead just yet. If you have any other questions about it, just ask, I'll be sitting at home all day bashing my head on my phone until it boots up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
It's not dead. You just need Odin to recognize it. Try different usb cables and ports. Use the ports in the back of your pc. Also 2.0 not 3.0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Gutana:
Hello friend, I followed your advice and I just kept trying random ports (unfortunately, I don't have any USB 2.0 ports on my computer, only 3.0), and it eventually showed up in Odin, I don't know how I forgot to try different ports, but thank you. I flashed the firmware, but it still looks like it isnt booting. It's showing the stock samsung boot animation, and sitting there with the blue LED on, I know it should take a while on the first boot, but i've given her a good 5ish minutes. I'll post again if she doesnt boot after 10-15 minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Gutana:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delta07man:
Dear Community,

as an amateur in the Android scene, I call for help.

This is an act of sheer desperation since I try to fix my phone (Alps N9500 MTK6589) for about 6 hours now..

A few months ago, I rooted my device via MTK Droid Root & Tools v2.5.3.

After a system crash of Android (4.2.1), my device is not able to boot up.

Symptoms: -The only reaction I get is a black screen. (backlights are on, but no screen content)

What i tried:

1. Neither the bootloader nor recovery mode will come up. .

2. Connection via adb worked fine

3. Tried to flash my device with the stock ROM -> Bootloop -> adb does not work at this state

Furthermore, I did a MemoryTest with SP Flash Tool v5.1352.01:

External RAM:

Type = DRAM

Size = 0x40000000 (1024MB/8192Mb)

NAND Flash:

ERROR: NAND Flash was not detected!

Could this be the problem?

(Unfortunately, I think the bootloop is something I messed up..)

I would be glad to see a solution for my problem and am very thankful for every contribution leading to the solution.

Sincerely,

An Android-Noob

Hey people,

i just got my note today and so far the phone is awesome. I just have one question at this time: does MHL cap out at some sort of a bitrate? i really like watching bluray rips and would like to exploit that if i could on the note (using it as a sort of media hub). I know that the phone itself can handle it because i just ran 120mbps video sample on it and there were no problems whatsoever even on the stock video player. If anyone is interested i got the sample from http://jell.yfish.us/ .

anyone can give me some info?
