[Galaxy Note 4 General] burnin:
After 2 months of use my Note 4 (SM-N910F) on 4.4.4 KK (stock) from a Note 3 (SM-N9005) on 4.4.2 KK (stock)

Pros:

- Camera, a lot better in all scenarios, Focus, Low Light, detail, was a very big jump and probably because of OIS (main reason to upgarde from Note 3 for me)

- Display, some people say 1080p to QHD dont see diference, i see, its mucth brighter and crisp and beautiful

- Desing of the Note 4 with metal edges, feel in the hand, very good looking phone

Cons:

- Battery, read a lot about display energy consumpsion, all wrong the battery drains a lot everytime i am using the phonne, 4 hours max screen on time

- UI general lag, 2.7GHZ?! The UI its very laggy, sometimes 1 sec to do what you want, compare to iphone 5S for example its a shame

- Sound, and dont understand why a top 2014 Samsung device like Note 4 dont have stereo speakers, the speaker on the back its very bad

- Bluetooth, i have a Samsung Gear and with the Note 4 some metters away one from the other and i got disconnected massage on my Gear
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rj3005:
Sound, agreed that stereo speakers are overdue but I prefer the speaker on the back over the on the bottom of my old note 3. (which i covered many times just holding the phone)

Bluetooth, my gear live never disconnects if within ten meters (30ft) of my phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SeraldoBabalu:
I honestly didn't notice much difference in bluetooth quality. I stream through Google Play Music and bluetooth to a JBL Flip 2 and and Beats 2.0 Wireless and it sounds the same to me.

Oh another couple of things that were a minor annoyance that turned into huge ones...

The rounded back made the phone spin when it's on a table. This makes laying it on a table and using it impossible. It was especially annoying when I had an alarm set to wake me up in the morning, it would spin all over the damn place when I tried to snooze it.

Secondly, the power and volume buttons were way too close to each other. I'd always end up hitting the wrong button when I wanted to lock/unlock the phone or turn up the volume.

Again they were minor annoyances which I thought I'd be able to simply get over it and I didn't think it would really affect my usage like it did.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SeraldoBabalu:
....and warranty!! OMFG you should see the stories on Reddit about Motorola's warranty. It's absolutely terrible and disgraceful.

If you weren't lucky enough to be able to get your Nexus 6 from the Play store and got it direct from Motorola or a carrier, you were pretty much screwed. People with white 64gb devices that had to claim warranty were offered replacements that were blue 32gb. Some cases took weeks to replace and when the replacements arrived, they were more damaged that the one that was supposed to be sent back.

Canadians were particularly screwed as they don't offer RMA replacement services. They only offer RMA repair and on top of that the rep told me that some Motorola Canadian repair depots don't have the documentation or training on how to repair Nexus 6 phones yet (I chatted online with a rep in late January - things might be different now).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] torquadon:
Just to clarify warranty. In Europe if you call Google support that you have a problem wit any nexus during warranty period, first time they will replace it for factory refurbished device without any questions, so I wouldn't contact Motorola. Samsung offers something similar: you can go to shop you bought it and they will replace it for new device but only within first two weeks after purchase.

Now, please don't understand me wrong , I love Note 4 and wouldn't replace it for Nexus 6 but only because of replaceable battery and micro SD slot and because I can install CM12 on it. TW ROM may have more stuff in it but it doesn't come even close to responsiveness of nexus devices. I still have Nexus 4 and even on TW lollipop Note 4 is slower. I am not talking about performance in games etc, but about general responsiveness. On CM12 situation is other way around of course.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SeraldoBabalu:
This is only if you bought it from the Google Play Store. Some people had to buy from a carrier because Google was out of stock.

In terms of responsiveness, it feels the same for my usage. I don't sit there and measure how fast it goes when I swipe my finger - that is not how I use my phone. I play Leo's Fortune and Hitman Go... that's about as crazy as I get and it works well. I don't see any noticeable lag. So when you say it doesn't even come close, I think you don't know how close it really is because it's pretty damn close if not exactly the same. I'm speaking from experience with the Nexus 6 and not from what I heard someone say on YouTube.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] torquadon:
I am sorry but you are wrong about warranty, according to EU law you can choose manufacturers warranty or shop warranty. So if you decide to use Google they will help you, I am not assuming, I have done it without any problems.

I wrote what I experience on my devices nexus 4 vs note 4 and nexus 5 which I didn't mention before. I didn't say you saying anything wrong so please hold your comments about YouTube and my knowledge to yourself, there is no need for that, I am entitled to my opinion (especially it is based on experience) same way you are to yours.

From my EXPERIENCE responsiveness is in order: tw kitkat note 4 ->TW lollipop note 4-> lollipop nexus 4 -> lollipop nexus 5 -> cm12 note 4. So I have to disagree: in my case it is not close (closer if I use Nova launcher tough). I can see it mostly when I scroll on fb or big websites, it is not micro lag it is noticeable lag.

I do not own nexus 6 and there is slim chance it is slower comparing to nexus 4 and 5.

I am not trying to prove you wrong, just saying what I observed. I t is absolutely possible you have entirely different experiences and neither of us is right :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SeraldoBabalu:
How can you go through Google warranty if you didn't purchase the phone from Google? This is what I'm getting at. If you had to purchase the phone through a carrier - Google warranty will not help you here.

If you have not used the Nexus 6 as a daily driver then you, unfortunately, cannot speak from experience. I think you're just looking to be offended by something so I'll leave it at that. I'm not looking for an e-fight. Carry on, sir.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] torquadon:
I have been always buying my phones from carriers and twice I have them replaced by manufacturer. Once it was Nexus 5, they send me replacement without asking questions (although you are right it was LG not Google, although they still offered factory refurbished straight away no idea if it is standard policy tough, possible it has something to do with my carrier), and second time it was Sony Xperia S which went for repair and they gave me a new one after they decided it could not be repaired. So I will repeat again You are entitled to manufacturers warranty even if you bought it from carrier. Well at least in UK they offer it without hassle. What I am trying to tell is you will always have 2 options when you buy it from carrier, carrier as a seller and manufacturer. Also from what you wrote is not a policy problem, but supply problem and Motorola is not the first to face it. You can find plenty examples how Samsung fails to comply with warranty claims, this is just a part of mass production, and is especially visible within first few months after release.

Sir I am not looking for a fight either ( I believed that comment about YouTube was directed at me, therefore my response), I placed my comparison to 2 nexus devices I own, I said I do not own 6, I even said it is possible it is slower . My point is I love Samsung devices, software not so much. And that is where Nexus was always shining - pure os. There was always plenty of phones better made then nexus, but none of them offered the same software experience, and I believe it still stands ( I do not need to own n6 to know that, soft on n5 and n4 is the same). I am sure there will be plenty people, as I assume you are, who will prefer TW over pure android. I am just not one of them. I prefer to by note 4 and install cm12 rather then buying nexus 6 because I believe note 4 is simply better hardware.

Small correction : of course Xperia s was first :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Eilsoe:
is it possible to uninstall TWRP recovery and reinstall stock recovery, so i looks normal again..

And is there a way to reset the Knox void..

I havent installed any custom Roms..

I have only rooted and installed twrp recovery.

Now i want to totally reset to stock, so that i can sell my device.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] baronian73:
Flash stock firmware (you can get it from sammobile) with odin to go back to stock recovery and unrooted but this won't reset knox count...i don't think there is a way to reset knox.

bye
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Eilsoe:
So if i flash a stock firmware/rom it will also installeret stock recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] baronian73:
Yes but flash with odin

OK, thanks :)

Hello,

I have a sony xperia z1. I found a problem that I dont know its is a bug or problem in my phone or system optimization.

my phone brightness change itslef even when i have turned off the auto brightness. for example, the brightness becomes dimmer when the overall display colour is dark or black colour and it becomes brighter when the ovrall display colour is white or bright colour.

some example is in dark background or pages, or when open the notification bar, or when create a folder in apps menu and open the folder to view folder.

do any one have this problem? is it a bug or hardware issue or system optimization?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mosespl:
Sony technology can't turn it off on z1c same situation better to leave this on because on dark places your screen will be darker and without this option will be lighter

Maybe this is a bug

It's happen for me when Auto Brightness Off and set Brightness to maximum level, it's sometimes still decrease brightness itself

For solution, I change brightness value using this via terminal emulator/script manager, need root

echo 25 > /sys/class/leds/wled:backlight/max_current
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvlin:
dear Mosespl, can we turn this feature off in xperia Z1?

dear Yenkazu, my phone is rooted, but I never worked before with terminal emulator. how can do it?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yenkazu:

If you feel the brightness it's too much for you, try lowering the 25 value

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsk.throttler:
Hello guys, I bought a Xperia Z2 3 months back and never tested it underwater i am actually scared to do it, and also i couldn't find any water damage indicators inside the flaps i can only see the hard reset button near to the sim card slot which is red in color.

Kindly do suggest me can i go for the underwater test...thank you...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
They are on the inside of the phone

And for waterproof testing

Close your flaps, open the service menu (google it) and go to presure sensor

The sensor should increase even a tiny bit when putting preasure on the surface of your phone when the flaps are closed

Open your flaps and the preasure sensor should do nothing

This is a good indication of your devicr being water resistant
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsk.throttler:
So the indicators are not visible to us, Thank you for the information.

And i did the pressure sensor test, by closing the flaps with out any pressure the value is 1013 and when i put some pressure the value increases to 1018, 1019 and gets back to the normal value 1013. when i release the pressure its goes down to 1009, 1008 and again gets back to the normal value 1013.

When pressure applied by the flaps open there is no changes (didn't do nothing).

Is my device water resistance...!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Yes
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsk.throttler:
Thank you very much, i will test my device underwater and will let you know...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddboss:
I tried this waterproof test method and it increased for me about 5mb. after that I tried with water and my phone seemed it's waterproof but few hours later the touchscreen wasn't wroking good
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsk.throttler:
OMG, then even though if the device passes the pressure test it doesn't mean its waterproof...!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddboss:
It's not sure it was water damage but I think it was, and my phone passed the test so it's not a reliable test. I recommend you to not try with water if you don't want to use your phone in wet conditions, but if you want then go ahead. Also check that your device has build quality issues or not. Look for gaps at the corners of the front and back glass.

On my wifes S5, we set up yahoo with the stock email app as IMAP.

I have heard this is a known issue. She is on Kitkat.

Does Lollipop fix this issue?

I have an S5 also, i set my yahoo up as IMAP with the stock email app.

I have no issues deleting my emails. We both have verizon S5's.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Hello everyone!

Making another guide, this time on how to fix RIL on CM12 based roms e.g. Vanir and FXP.

The cause of the problem is once again SELinux and the fix is rather simple... let's go!

Before we start there is one crucial requirement! :

Do you have a SIM PIN set? If YES just continue reading. If NO, please set one BEFORE flashing a CM12 ROM.

We need to be able to set SELinux to permissive before the phone attempts to access the SIM card or it will not work! If you have a PIN set, your phone will not "try" to load it till you entered the PIN and that gives SELinux mode changer the time to change the mode! If you have no PIN set the phone will load the SIM card almost immediately and the app is not quick enough to set the mode to permissive before it loads the SIM! Users with no SIM PIN can try "method 2"

Steps:

METHOD1:

1: Install a build of your choice (Vanir/FXP, and no this fix is not for locked bootloader CM12 roms like RR, there is another fix for those roms!).

2: Once your device has booted up, turn off auto brightness to prevent your phone from rebooting while doing these steps. (your phone will soft-reboot once after disabling auto brightness)

3: Download and install SELinux mode changer from here: Google Play (or any other app that is able to set SELinux to permissive on boot.)

4: Open the app grant root access and check the "show notification" Checkbox.

5: Fully reboot your device and WAIT on the lockscreen till the app says that it changed the SELinux mode to permissive!!!

6: Enter your SIM PIN and you should be ready to go!

METHOD2:

1: Create a new script file in /system/su.d.

2: Put this inside of the file:

#!/system/bin/sh
echo 0 > /sys/fs/selinux/enforce

3: Set correct permissions.

4: Reboot

(this method was not comfirmed by me! And it might not work, can someone try it?)

Remaining bugs:

1: When you call someone or you get called, the sound will be glitchy!

2: Auto-brightness still does not work!

3: More?

The fix was found by : [MENTION=5681490]AndreAkaNick[/MENTION]

Method2 found by [MENTION=2239404]jojos10[/MENTION]

Enjoy CM12!,

[Xperia SP General] noahvt:
Let me try that for a sec. I'll report when I get back AKA when my phone boots up to FXP 24/02
[Xperia SP General] vvaklnprm:
what if I run su setenforce 0 in terminal and reboot? Do I still need to set SIM PIN then?
[Xperia SP General] krokanic:
I tried that and it doesn't work...

After reboot selinux returns to enforcing...
[Xperia SP General] MT27i:
How to make permissive selinux with init.d script?

I'm too lazy to download selinux mode changer :p
[Xperia SP General] jojos10:
Or you can use this init.d script:

#!/system/bin/sh
echo 0 > /sys/fs/selinux/enforce

Or if init.d doesn't work in your ROM (like current FXP-CM12), you can install SuperSU and put the script in /system/su.d directory.

This way, there is no need to worry about SIM PINs and whatnot.

-EDIT-

it works, accidentally had a space behind the first line of the script hence it didn't work.

Guys my apologies.

Tested again. Turns out the script is not activating no matter what was done - permission set correctly (RWX RX RX chmod755), SuperSU flashed and set on boot, script inside /system/su.d folder. SELinux status keeps being on enforcing.

entries in the zip file or input via the root explorer?

BTW thanks
[Xperia SP General] MK99:
What do you mean?

Just flash linked rom-zip and in addition (if you want) you need the flash supersu.

Then do sim-fix.

After that you are able to call and send text-messages... ;)
[Xperia SP General] kenyeldodol:
For me not working. ???

Can you share step by step for using fix it?

See permission from here.

There is 38 views to my zip. Anyone know why it doesn't work?
[Xperia SP General] kenyeldodol:
I already do that with method1 but it does not work. and I try to method2 you provide still does not work well. Can you help me? I created a new folder in the system / su.d which includes the 77-selinux file and then I set RWX RX RX. and there is still not working. I am in FXP 0209
[Xperia SP General] MK99:
Check carefully that there is no unnecessary spaces. You also have root/shell?

Script-files permission:
