[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halffrozen:
Silly question, but if our phone cannot be rooted, or access gained via an infection through a clicked on link/downloaded apk.. can our phones catch a virus and have things stolen from us without our knowing? Mostly asking because I always thought rooting a phone was essentially the same thing thing as infecting it. It's a silly question to me mostly because I know little about how the whole scheme of things work when talking about virus infections on a phone. But it's still something I just started to think about since our phone has yet to be rooted. Does this make sense to anyone else what I'm asking? And if so, please, if you can, explain if these phones can catch a virus/infection.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] George.B:
I personally don't use a anti virus. For my it's just a resource eater. But I am always on stock with no root. Maybe when you start downloading apps from unknown sources and install them you can be infected with some nasty things.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedicemaster:
the only real danger is Trojans, virusses that disguise themselves as legitimate apps.

but these are actively scanned for by bouncer on the googe play store servers, and by the Google play services on your phone.

you can protect yourself against them with an antivirus, but it isn't really necessary unless you frequently make use of pirated apps or 3rd party app stores.

these trojans also won't be able to do too much unless you root and give them root access(don't pirate root apps, don't give pirated apps root access)

they can't retrieve more than you allow them.

and rooting typically happens through what could be considered a virus, except that what you install isn't malicious.

1 click root solutions act like trojans by showing as legitimate apps to the system.

flashable root solutions often behave more like rootkits, installing themselves in the bootloader or recovery partitions to automatically re-root the device after an update.

neither are a risk on the note 4 since 1 click root exploits don't work right now, and flashable root methods require some very specific user actions(reboot to download mode, flash with odin)

if you're still worried about security you can enable active knox protection.
[Sony Xperia M] fullpampers:
I bought a used Xperia M for my mother.

Everything works great (i update to latest stock sofware) except wifi.

it says I'm connected but wifi keeps droping. When using chrome, it just hangs there and no page loads. And I tried using Fongo (Voip app), I can place a call, but after 10-20 seconds, I can't hear anything, and the other side either.

The wifi icon is always there, but clearly the phone drops the signal.

other phones/computer in the house have no problem on my wifi network.

Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia M] StraightEdgeKid:
May be, you've been fooled. Oops, sorry!

Try reflashing stock firmware, full wipe will be great!
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
yaa try to reflashing, using sony pc companion for safety use :)
[Sony Xperia M] fullpampers:
It's possible, but I doubt it. The lady that sold it to me didn't strike me as the scamming type. If something is wrong with the phone, she probably didn't know it. And either way, fooled or not, I'm stuck with the phone now...

My mother doesn't use the wifi on the phone, but if she wants to switch to using voip, it would be nice to have the option.

And the first thing I did when I got home was a full wipe with a flash/upgrade of stock firmware using Sony program.

I'll try doing another one just in case.

I read on other forums that people were having these problems, but no one had a fix for it..

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
but are you sure, you have try to repair with pc companion and it's still broken?:confused:
[Sony Xperia M] fullpampers:
Yeah i just did it. I did a repair with complete wipe. It does connect to my wifi but it works only for a couple of minutes. Like i said my mother just uses the phone for calling and texting so it's not that big a deal. But I would have wanted to give her a 100% working phone...
[Sony Xperia M] fullpampers:
I check around and on the sony forums some people are having the same problem, but no clear fixes.
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
if that still happen, maybe that's is hardware issue, take to service center for safety :)
[Sony Xperia M] StraightEdgeKid:
Brother, have you checked what WiFi band frequency is selected, I had same prob when I had 5ghz selected and my office Wi-Fi was on 2.5ghz, I selected auto then.
[Sony Xperia M] fullpampers:
The wifi band is set to auto, i tried both separately too. Keep wifi awake is set to always. And i tried a combination of all the other settings. The phone is set up just like my phone and my g-f's phone. The reception is excellent on the xperia, it just sort of freezes...

Anyway my mother came to pick up the phone this morning and she didn't mind the wifi not working. If she ever chooses to switch to voip, I'll either try to fix it or change the phone.

I'll try to look around in the mean time if I come across a fix. If I do i'll try it when she comes to visit.

Thanks!

I'm not going to search for you, but somewhere in nexus threads are.instructions to increase volumes for all outputs (spkrs, bluetooth, jack). Involves modding file. If you can handle that then you can find the answer. I read the thread. Good luck.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gangstermailuser:
I stupidly chose "fix permissions" on my 5.0 ROM and now my phone is stuck in a bootloop. To make matters worse, I can't sideload anything with TWRP because when I do "adb devices", the device status shows up as "device", not "recovery". And when I go to sideload, the status is still "device" and not "sideload". Is there anything I can do? I don't have any ROMs on my phone anymore so my only option is to sideload/push through TWRP.

Edit: So I realized that when in TWRP, the phone was in the USB MTP mode. I managed to copy my ROM to the phone. I did a system, cache, and Dalvik wipe, and installed the ROM. However, it still doesn't boot. I end up at the DemiGod Crash Handler every time I boot it.

Edit 2: Wiping everything and flashing again fixed the phone!
[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Problem: When powered on "SONY" logo comes and after that a screen showing a mobilephone with a blue downward arrow and yellow triangle with exclamation mark is shown

History: I was trying to root the phone and after rooting, the phone suggested an OTA update to the software and I gave "Yes" After installing the update when it restarted it came to the above described problem. I tried to flash it with Flash it with the stock ROM to bring it back to original state. Despite that it is still doing the same thing. I have tried to go to bootloader, even that isnt working.

URGENT, guys please help! Its my friend's phone and I dont wanna disappoint that poor chap.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6-speed:
Sorry if it has been answered. But I am looking at switching to google fi or another carrier from vzw and was wondering if the issue with going from vzw to another carrier and back still requires a factory reset. I have a moto x I can run on vzw for the time being to test fi out on my N6 in my area if I get a invite, but if its no good then I'd like to go back to my N6 on vzw. Not a big deal as I use titanium backup. I'm just curious about it, I didn't know if since vzw has the N6 now, or if 5.1 fixed it.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miki800:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=67570

Sure I can connect my android to a pc and have r/w access via usb 3.0 connection, or use only the built-in file manager by samsung and have r/w access to the external sd.

But that is not what I want, I want full es explorer access and full poweramp access which I do not have.

After some research I've learned that I need to edit the file "/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml" the relief myself from the read-only limitation (at best, sometimes not even that) that 99% of my apps have for the externalSD card,

And that the only way to do that is via root, which I do not want to do to my device because in the horrible scenario that I actually need to use my warranty, I have learned that the flag that the action of rooting my device turns on - no body knows yet how to turn off, so I really don't want to root my device just yet.

Is it possible somehow to remove this limitation that samsung/google have brought with their ignorant policies to my device? without rooting that is?

other then switching to a non-android4.x rom? or switching to a non-stock rom?

EDIT:

* I started to notice the whole issue when I wanted to move all my music from my old android to the new one's externalSD.

Right now all I want is for that to work again.

Is it possible to create a symbolic link in the Internal Storage so that when my poweramp app scans for music it will SEE the files on my externalSD since they are available from a path nested under the visible Internal Storage mount?

I know that in my old android, there was a mount point / sym link called 'external sd' that lead directly to the externalSD, but now there isn't and I'd love to get this back.

** Plus I heard that apps always have access (on ANY Storage) to the path '/Android/data/<package_name>' but after I moved the music files to:

'<EXTERNAL SD CARD>/Android/data/_com.maxmpz.audioplayer'

and also tried:

'<EXTERNAL SD CARD>/Android/data/com.maxmpz.audioplayer'

In both cases the music wasn't available to the app. :( so there is that feature of accessing the externalSD which I also can not use :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Lion Man:
Anyone heard of these guys? I seen an advertisement for them on this website and i decided to check it out.

Its just like a screen protector but for the whole phone (just like the ghost armor-but one third the price). Its like 6 bucks or so per phone. I ordered on for my note 3 (white carbon fiber). i put it on last night , which was pretty easy to place.

It fit perfectly.

So if you're looking for something silimar check them out .

https://slickwraps.com

They onky negative thing i could say is not all packages include a screen protector with the pack. But i have still never used one on my note 3 so that wasnt an issue with me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Iskateforfree:
I have used and still use SlickWraps. They are a company that aims to enhance the LOOK of the phone while giving it a bit of protection if you are using your phone without a case. It isn't in any shape or form a complete way of protecting the phone. The use vinyl to just change the aesthetics/feels of your device. It's a good product for the price. Original price for the wraps are about $20. I'd encourage anyone to take advantage of the sale and try it for themselves. I've bought 5 different wraps, myself.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gambatte:
Hello. I have an unrooted Fujitsu Stylistic M532 US version. It came stock with 4.0 but I was able to upgrade it to 4.1.1 by hacking a Fujitsu UK ROM to make it suitable for a US device. I turned the device on the other day and was stuck at the Fujitsu splash screen ( it was working fine til then). I went into android recovery and cleared the cache. It was still stuck. I went into recovery and factory reset it. It then became stuck on the android splash screen. I've probably done this 10 times now with no luck. So I tried to load the ROM (.pkg) I used to flash it to 4.1.1 via "load update from external sources". It finds it but immediately aborts, I guess because it is the same version number. My question is can I load this ROM any other way, e.g. by rooting? Fujitsu support will not give me the stock ROM and wants $160 + shipping to fix it. Thanks in advance for any help.

so i made a backup of my 4.4.4 in CWM and then i upgraded to 5.0.1 and made a backup of it too in CWM but when i Restored my 4.4.4 i got stuck in a boot loop i tried removing all cache and dalvik cache but it ain't working do i have to do a full reset or does it even work to down grade via backups like this?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoniinfante:
did you restore using CWM or TWRP? just to let u know TWRP is not compatible with CWM!!! cheers:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaW D Coy:

also please before restoring wipe everything, data, system, cache and dalvik, then restore your backup, good luck:fingers-crossed:

if i wipe everything will it delete the data (ringtones and download on the phone sd? (not the external sdcard) )
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoniinfante:
no, it will not, cuz all that is suppose to be in the backup you made before, just clean the system before restoring, wipe data, system, cache and dalvik, then try restoring your backup and wait at least 10 minutes, and report back, good luck cheers:fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M@khan #:
You upgrade your device to 5.0, so kitkat4.4 cwm backup didn't work 4 u bcuz ur baseband version changed with lollipop upgrade & cwm recovery is unable to backup baseband/modem.

U have to downgrade ur firmware to kitkat4.4 & then cwm backup will work.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaW D Coy:
how do i do that is it enough to just re-flash via odin will it reset to the correct modem and stuff?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoniinfante:
bro ive never try that, but u can try, at least get the phone to boot by flashing the stock rom thru Odin, then try restoring just the Data. ive never done this before cuz I always use titanium backup, but give it a try, good luck, cheers:fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M@khan #:
Yes,after flashing correct stock firmware ( full Odin package like xxx.tar.md5) with Odin ur device become brand new: official.

U have to root it again & again install cwm recovery.

For flashing stock firmware Tutorial,search on Google.

does it matter which stock rom i choose cause i mean doesn't samsung have like a lot of services installed in their roms for like special note pad stuff for the S-pen
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaW D Coy:
do you know if there is a backup app that backs up all like baseband and such so i can downgrade with simple backups?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicolas0808:
Hi, in order to restore your Android kitkat backup you need to downgrade from lollipop. In order to do that you have to flash a stock ROM (from sammobile). If your device is not locked for your service provider then it shouldn't really matter which region's ROM you flash. Then flash cwm recovery to restore your backup. If after flashing the stock ROM you enter a boot loop (and maybe not allowing you to enter download mode to flash cwm) try entering recovery mode (Power + Home + Volume Up) and factory reset your phone through the stock recovery. This should restart your phone without causing a loop. After that just flash cwm back and restore your stock backup.

Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything else.

Copy/Paste from Play

Description

BSC is a dark theme developed for the Theme Engine from CyanogenMod CM12.

Black and chrome accents throughout most core apps as well as future additions.

Theme has been tested on these ROMs:

CM12

Bliss Pop (Not supported as much anymore)

Validus

Temesak

Dirty Unicorns

I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS ON ANY OTHER ROMS PERSONALLY SO I CANNOT VERIFY COMPATIBILITY.

I have included aspects from other ROM's

YOU NEED TO BE ROOTED AND RUNNING A ROM THAT HAS THE CYANOGENMOD THEME ENGINE INCLUDED!!!!! THIS THEME IS FOR CM12 ONLY!!!!!!

Please note:

Given CM12 and its theme engine are still WIP, some issues may be experienced.

Also,due to some limitations with Theme Engine , some elements are not themable or are not ideal for a dark UI due to how they are coded.

Currently the following issues exist:

- Advanced Reboot menu - second menu not themed - CM12 issue

INSTALLATION

If a fresh theme install

1. Install the app

2. Go to Settings -> Themes -> Styles

3. Select BSC2

4. Apply it

5. Reboot your device!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!!

I RECOMMEND EITHER REVERTING TO STOCK THEME PRIOR TO UPDATING THEME OR ON A ROM UPDATE OR UNINSTALLING FIRST,THEN INSTALLING THEME!!!!!!

80 basic app icons (CM,Google, etc) to the theme as well as a shaderCM OTA,

THEMED APPS:

Updated QS tiles to 5.1

* Keyboard (AOSP )

* Framework

* SystemUI

* Drop Box

* PlayMusic

* Contacts

* Calculator

* Dialer and Phone

* Settings

* Google Hangouts

* Google Now/Google Search

* Google DocumentsUI

* Google Mail

* Temesak OTA

* YouTube

* Sound recorder

* Stock SMS

* TapaTalk

* Trebuchet

* Dirtyunicorns.about

* Whatsapp (lightly themed for compatibility)

More apps and additions are planned for future updates.......

​

Because this is a paid theme , I believe linking here is prohibited so if you search for BSC - CM12 Theme or Platyraptor Designs , you should be able to find it. There is also a 1500+ standalone iconpack available for this theme.

Greenify without root can't hibernate maps. Is anyone having similar behavior? I did factory reset right after lolipop came out.

Anyone can suggest anything? love the phone but sometimes the battery drain is just making me mad lol

I've been running CM12 nightlies since early 2015. Up to this point, everything has been rock-solid. While trying to upgrade from CM12 (5.0.x) to CM12.1 (5.1.x), I have lost the ability to use USB-OTG. Thinking it was a bug in CM12.1, I factory flashed 5.1 from Google's images. After rooting, I still don't have USB-OTG. StickMount doesn't help and I am no longer able to mount USB-OTG in TWRP. Do you all think this is a hardware or software issue?
