[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid9684:
UPDATE

Hi Ryan thanks for writing me back on my issues with the S5. Ok well yesterday I got Virtual Box to work as I updated the version and installed Windows XP on my Mac. I had used it previously and successfully had used Odin before. However this time I cant get it to recognize any USB devices even after ejecting them from the Mac part. I called Samsung support of the broken Dev S5 and after lengthy talks they refuse to fix it as it's in the system already as "Beyond Economical Repair" from last summer. Another person I reached out to from Brickedmyphone.com got back to me and said he thinks my devices via USB isnt recognized because of emmc failure. When I went to recover my Dev S5 I thought i had a backup in Safestrap but it turned out I didn't. So I did a factory reset thru that then backed out and had it in download mode in which it stayed on. Pulled the battery power on and it stays on Android boot screen now. I never did backup the bootloader of my Dev S5 because no one ever had told me to do so. Never would have thought about doing such a crucial thing. My biggest worry with another Dev S5 is will they be available again as they are on current backorder? And will they still ship out of box with version 4.4.2? When I had the S5 it wouldn't system update at all so my guess is that's the only version it will have unlike the regular S5 that now has 4.4.4? I guess with the Dev Edition weather I flash anything on it or not is that the warranty after 30 days is void. I figured if I didn't flash a custom recovery on that phone I would have been ok but thats not the case. I've had TWRP on my past two Droids and rarely do I run into problems.

As far as the regular S5 from Verizon i plan to return it for majority of my money back by the 17th. But what do you recommend I do for a phone in the mean time? Unless I can get my bricked S5 up and running again. It has a broken Sd card reader anyhow so eventually would have to be replaced.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid9684:
Note 4 Dev Edition

I'm considering getting Note 4 Dev Edition even if the S5 Dev is available in weeks to come from now. I read someone posted a custom rooted deoxedized without knox rom for it. Otherwise your not able to root it? I plan to try a Note 4 from the store once i return this here consumer S5 to Verizon next week Friday. [MENTION=766721]ryanbg[/MENTION]
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanbg:
You can most definitely root any Dev edition regardless of ROM. Send me a message when you have the phone in hand and I'll give you a hand. I'll help you back up your bootloader too.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid9684:
Thanks for the reply although very late. I ended up going with a rooted Samsung Galaxy S5 off ebay which is new running 4.4.2. By the time I purchased this phone the Note 4 and S5 Dev editions where still on backorder and I needed a phone quickly. I do like the Note 4 and can't wait for the Note 5 this fall to see what it will be like. I also have an inetrest in the LG G4 heard good things about the specs on it. :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] bataglia:
Hello! Does anyone know if the Display assembly is the same for XT1225 and XT1254? I have a XT1225 with a broken LCD/Touch and can't find the parts for it.﻿
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Yes all Quarks have the same hardware.

The only difference is Motorola locked down some bands and enabled others in the Snapdragon 805 unified all-in-one modem.

XT1254 Droid Turob (U.S.)/XT1250 Moto Maxx (U.S.) have CDMA/EVDO/GSM/HSPA/LTE.

XT1225 Moto Maxx (Latin America) and Moto Turbo (India) only has GSM/HSPA/LTE.

Yet the radio HARDWARE is identical. That's a software/firmware change -- they all use the same modem in the same Snapdragon 805 chipset.

Previous generations of Snapdragon models had variants for different bands, radio properties. The Snapdragon 805 is all-in-one. ONE Snapdragon for the world, and the manufacturers decide what bands their phone will have.

OK, some Quarks come with 32GB storage, some with 64GB. That's a memory chip. Otherwise, no other hardware difference.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] bataglia:
Thanks, dude
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] andray:
As clash1 user on 4pda forum said: Snapdragon 805 doesn't have modem at all. A quote from Qualcomm site: Pairs with Snapdragon X7 LTE Modem

Just to get things straight:)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
But that still means they use the same hardware modem, the X7 LTE modem. Just configured differently, depending on Quark model. That's why Motorola stated under oath to the FCC they have the same hardware.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] AlPoo:
I'm trying get a replacement for my device while keeping myself covered against unexpected charges. I'm S-off on 5.0.1. The complication is i have a "loose" charging port. I believe this is why i had trouble with the original RUU (not sd method). This means all back to stock methods would be perferred with an SD card way, and i'm not sure which files i have to use. Also how far will i need to go? No root obviously. S-ON, no red boot up text?

Will be catching a movie here but will be back later if anyone has the time to help me.

Thanks,

you can RUU a stock unrooted image from the SD card, but to lock the bootloader and turn s-on I believe you need to use adb and fastboot, which means connecting to your computer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Genesis730:
Yesterday I noticed a notification icon stating there was an update downloading. I could not kill the app or prevent it from downloading even though I've never used or enabled Wi-Fi. The process completed and the notification changed from "Update Downloading" to "Update Postponed" . At which point I still could not kill it or do anything. I checked my data usage which had in fact ran silent over my AT&T network. After several hours I got a popup stating the device is restarting and have not turned it on in fear of the 5.0 update. I have not since powered it on since and am wondering if I'm the only one this has happened to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] toakster:
My phone was in my pocket when my gear said Bluetooth disconnected. This happened after the update postponed nag showed up in notifications. They forced the update over the network! Never turned on my WiFi either. I feel violated!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Genesis730:
Lollipop?

So my suspicions are correct? 5.0 is the update?

Can it be rolled back via ODIN?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] borijess:
Yes it can be rolled back using Odin.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tythas:
Hello! Was wondering if there was a way to change the resolution of the S6 from QHD down to 1080p. I've found the Nomone Resolution Changer, but I was wondering if there was a more trustworthy way about getting the resolution to get to 1080p. Long shot, but still! Recommendations, please? :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entropism:
Mind if I ask why?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Actually I was wondering the same thing until I remembered the fact it has a small battery and a 5.1" screen that really doesn't need the QHD resolution with such a small battery + screen :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jambo89liam:
There are some apps available to change the DPI, i know that skydragon roms come pre baked with a DPI changer, but this will require root.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entropism:
But that's not how it works. The phone will still have the same qHD screen, and will still have the same amount of pixels, and require the same amount of power. You're basically just changing the DPI to make everything larger, using 4 pixels to display what 1 used to.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbyHenceMcGee:
No he actually wants to change the proper resolution, not DPI.

Less resolution = Less processing power required = Less battery spent.

That being said.. OP no there isn't a way :(
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entropism:
Right, that's what I meant. You can't change the DPI (which would what he'd be doing) and have it magically change the physical number of pixels used.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
No that's not what he's asking. He's asking this much like a TV. Instead of having it be QHD he wants it to display in 1080.

It's a clever way of thinking but that wouldn't help really. It'll still have the super pretty screen just everything would be smaller. Even if there was a way :(
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entropism:
But that's the point: Even if you wanted to display in 1080, you still have the same amount of physical pixels in the screen, and the same amount of power needed to light them up. Unless, of course, you wanted to only use 1920x1080 pixels, at which point only 25% of the display would actually be lit up.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xocomaox:
You're missing the point.

First of all, lowering the resolution would make everything appear larger. You have to lower the DPI setting in build.prop to scale things back down to the same size (or lower).

Secondly, lowering the output resolution will save battery power and increase performance because the CPU and GPU are working less. This is fact and just how computers work (the screen is not the only power draw in a phone). The amount of physical pixels in the screen is irrelevant because that will draw the same amount of power regardless of what the resolution is. (However, since the is an AMOLED screen, it will draw less power when displaying blacks due to the nature of the technology. Not that this has anything to do with the resolution discussion.)

Thirdly, the amount of power you will be saying varies. Mostly you will gain performance and power-savings while playing 3D (rendered) games. The GPU will be able to perform at a higher framerate as well as save you power. This is tested and true, although some applications will be glitchy due to poor coding. The amount of savings while on normal screens is subject to the efficiency of the SoC. I am not sire much will be gained here. Performance in these screens is said to be slightly increased, although I believe this phone probably has snappy speeds already.

Lastly, if you do this there may be a visual issue that could get on your nerves. Since you are altering the 1:1 resolution of the pixels, a blur will naturally occur. Since the screen is relatively small for the amount of pixels in it, the blur will be minimal and you will hardly notice after your eyes adjust to it.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thoth33:
Using Resolution Changer Pro (free app) you can set res to 1080 and dpi to 480 for a significant improvement in gaming performance. (phone doesnt heat up like frying pan anymore)

Difference in quality is completely unboticable.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojoejit:
Yes after resolution changed, everything go smoother
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Help The Peace:
Hello Thoth33,

I used Resolution Changer Pro, but it didn't change the resolution! :o

What do I do wrong? I use Android 6.0 beta on my Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F).

It even tells me that it gets root access!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojoejit:
It is required ROOT
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Help The Peace:

Solved the problem via Android Terminal Emulator!!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xa33M:
i changed the resolution on my Galaxy S6 Active from QHD to just HD!! Did some graphics benchmarks and the results are more than 2 times those of QHD.

Oh, and I did this without ROOT.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0062:
How to do it without root?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xa33M:
You can do it via adb.

These are the 2 commands for both screen resolution and dpi

adb shell wm density (insert dpi here)

adb shell wm size (insert resolution here) && adb reboot

The reason for using both commands is that you have to use the correct dpi with your desired resolution and screen size, so that the icons and UI is neither too large nor too small, otherwise, the UI will crash

For example,

For Galaxy S6,

If you want 1080p, you have to choose 480 dpi as that is the correct dpi for a 5.1 Inch diaplay.

If you want to go back to QHD, just repeat the same commands with your stock dpi and resolution, which are

640 dpi

1440x2560 resolution && adb reboot

I did it via adb because currently there is no root for the S6 Active.

Hey y'all. I think this should work. If anyone is interested in a deadpool theme, here it is!

Download here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/leh7oh6gg0d389a/com.htc.theme.custom.deadpool.zip?dl=0

Unzip folder. Use es file explorer or astro.

Copy or move the file to:

phone storage/android/data/com.HTC.launcher/files/custom themes

If a custom themes folder is not available, quickly create a theme and save it. This should generate the file.

Place the file in custom themes.

Open personalizer setting and new theme should be present.

Feedback is appreciated.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
Does anyone else's stock Sony Camera App shut down automatically when no buttons are pressed after 30 seconds? I just want to make sure this is a battery saving feature and not a bug.

Running 4.4.4 KitKat on the latest .77 firmware for the U.S.A.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meaniez:
yup, definitely a power saving feature, had it on all my xperia phones
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sirandar:
Note 4 Bell Canada

Updated 5.0.1

Day 3 Extra Info

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Full day at work 85% battery at the end

Google Chrome PC and Android bookmark history sync works perfectly

Wifi hotspot works perfectly every time ... no dreaded "Limited connectivity" like I used to see with the GS3

Fast charging is awesome .... with the stable battery usage of Note4 with 5.0.1 it is so easy to keep this phone charged.

Bad: My phone keeps taking screenshots when I am on the lock screen and I don't know why.

Day 2 Extra Info:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The Good:

As far as I can tell everything works.

Bluetooth dropouts during locked state drastically reduced ..... sometimes stutters once a few seconds after lock and none observed after (JVC Car Audio Unit)

Menu multitask key is just as snappy as before (I had already disabled Google talkback)

Battery life is great ..... At 6*% after a full day at work ..... my GS3 was often near zero after a ful day in the same location

I can now give permissions to write to a microSD card

Standby battery life is great ...... charged 100% went to sleep .... woke up at 98% (My GS3 would be somewhere between 60 and 70% same location)

Every app I have is behaving normally

The Bad:

I got one random Google + forced close so far (that is no so bad I guess)

Update Process: Smooth as silk, no crashes, no lockups, no forced closures

The UI: New notifications are great, a lot of little improvements including and x if you want to close an app

Performance: same as before ... great no keyboard issues yet, no issues with toggling things on and off, Chrome scrolls web pages smoothy

Apps: All apps seem to work ... no forced closes

Battery: no obvious differences ... to early to tell

Things Fixed: My bluetooth connection stuttered like crazy in the car if the phone was locked .... seems like this was fixed in 5.0.1 ....

Seems like the max volume is louder now
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 2xbass:
I'm on Bell too and my experience is very similar to yours. So far I'm very happy with the update. No problems and I'm enjoying some of the new changes.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DreamerTKM:
1. Power Saving on/off from setting not working. (No changes when u slide on the slider to on/off, only working via notification toggle)

2. GPU thermal throttling for benchmark. (I'm not a fan of benchmarking, but it's interesting to see the 3D behaviors on 5.0.1 unable to perform as what it should be if the phone temperature not cold enough)

3. Waze graphical glitches.

These are some of the possible bug that I realized and it need to be fixed in the next update.

However, overall experience still not that bad. The main issue for me now is the Waze graphical glitches which force me to temporary using Nokia Here Map at the moment.

I'm on BOC3 Malaysia. You may take a look on my signature for version information.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] torickray:
I'm from Malaysia too. But i don't have power saving problem.

Wake did not work properly.

Recent apps slower than before. Like 2 second lag.

No more option to change lockscreen animations

Data usage unable to view data usage in short period of time.

Some features were removed after upgrade.

Only useful additional thing is smart lock
[Galaxy Note 4 General] XXplant:
As on 5.0.1, there are Pros & Cons.

Pros:

1. The finger print now is much much better than Kitkat

2. Feel like a bit faster.

Cons:

1. The Bluetooth is not so clear like on Kitkat and time to time no voice even if still on Bluetooth connecting. (Already try to unpair and repair, still not ok)

2. A bit warmer than Kitkat.

3. Eat more RAM than before

4. After sync calendar with Kies, all calendar on device are gone but still existing in outlook calendar.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] jbkmin:
My experience has been great when it works (smoother UI, better battery life surprisingly).

One major issue though. 3 times, the phone rebooted overnight. All three times, it was while it was plugged into the charger, and it was stuck on the SAMSUNG logo (with bubbles animation). But I cannot get past it, and trying to restart via holding down the power button does not work.

Has anyone else experienced this yet?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PrinceTash:
Finally. Me too. Samsung Lollipop Update Problem

I AM experiencing this. I honestly think this update has broken my phone. My Samsung Galaxy S4 - when turned on, stays on the logo screen. Luckily for you it doesn't always do that but my phone won't even fully start up so I haven't been on it for two days. I really suggest you back up your phone because there may be a chance of it not turning on ever, like mine and a few phone shops are saying I need to completely wipe it. Does anyone know how to help? It would mean the world, thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
Battery life pretty disappointing. getting a good 10-14 hours under light usage. Heavy usage is out of the question if I'm leaving the house.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Pathera:
I downloaded the update yesterday and until now I must say it's amazing. Problems I had before with kitkat are gone. The speed is much faster. It's all so smooth and flat. I like it. I can't understand why everyone has issues with it. I'm using Note 4 SM-N910F.

[General Questions and Answers] 2PMintheAM:
Would you rather have:

1. An iPhone 6 plus, which you can Jailbreak and do practically anything to.

2. A standard Android phone of your choosing, but you can never root or modify it's firmware/software. (By standard I mean one of the current major flagships)

Just curious to see some answers!

Personally, I would honestly rather take the iPhone 6 plus, there's just something about the simple version of "hacking" I love!
[General Questions and Answers] larswaechter:
Simply answer: 2.

First of all, there a quite good low priced android devices. E.g.: Moto G (2014), Nexus etc...

I wouldn't spend so much money for a mobile (Iphone).

Moreover, I think an Android device without any modification is still much cooler than an Iphone.

If the phones are for free then:

Buy Iphone 6 Plus -> Sell it -> Buy an Android device :p
[General Questions and Answers] pinkpin:
in my opionion

If I have enough money, I'd choose iPhone 6+ :P

The iPhone 4s I bought several years ago is still working smoothly. But the S2 is getting laggy.

Known bugs & Fix :: [emoji116][emoji116][emoji116]

1.New base have supersu bug and work only if you select supersu setting - default access - 'grant'

If not then all app requires root won't work including my app like extra setting utility etc

2 . Dr.Ketan utility Wil have link to efs backup is for note4, don't use that linked thread but instead use my app for note3.

Also you may experience two minor bugs

1.Brightness may become too low and needs to use power button to return to Normal - TO FIX just disable ambient display from setting-Display

2.360 rotation from ROM control may not work. I will provide fix for this later.

ROM_Fix ::

Here is ROM_Fix

Follow instructions to the letter to work it properly.

-Download attached ROM_Fix zip and copy to SD card

-Clean Install ROM

-Immediately after flashing ROM, Don't reboot device but flash ROM_Fix.zip you have copied to SD card

-While you setting up phone first time, Dr.Ketan utility will propmt for super SU permission - DENY IT

-Open App drawer and look for ROM Fix app

-Open it, Grant SU permission

-You will see msg once fix applied

-Reboot device

Now everything should be fine. Now you can grant SU permission to utility.

ROM Fix is self destructive application and you may not longer see in ROM. Still appears and no other issue you can delete system/app/Fix
