[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leekslk:
Hello everyone, it seems that there certain applications such as Samsung's very on Internet browser and a few others that I am interested in obliterating doesn't seem to allow me disable them.

Did I miss out on a specific security/developer settings that has caused this to happened or it this something else like a carrier-lock "feature"? :confused:

Really annoyed seeing those useless application clogging up in my launcher!

Any advice would be very much appreciated. And non-root solutions please. I'm hoping to stay un-rooted for the first time in my android device history all for the hype of Samsung Pay!

But if that disappoints, I'm rooting this sweet piece of cake IMMEDIATELY.

Thanks in advance everyone.

Not every app is able to be disabled. You can't disable the stock browser, stock messages app, stock email app, and I'm sure there are more.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandrei279:
Hi guys!

About 2 months ago I bought a new smartphone: Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530FZ G530FZXXU1AOA3. Now I want to root it. I know I'll loose the warranty and I'm worried about bricking it. Has anyone successfully rooted this phone? I find some tutorials using ODIN and autoroot zip files. But they were for SM-G530F/SM-G530H/SM-G530BT. :mad: I hope you'll help me! Thanks!
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kubolini:
Hi there,

I have SM-530FZ too, and I wait for answer too. But i think I will try to root this model. The only question I have is if root from there: autoroot.chainfire.eu "SM-G530F - KTU84P.G530FXXU1ANK2 - 4.4.4 will be good for this model.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kubolini:
Yes, it works correctly. Download root to SM-G530F. Zip file includes Odin and root.

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kubolini:
Ok, few things. After root, i have one problem. If I want to restart my phone, android first show samsung screen with "Set Warranty Bit: recovery" and then load recovery. I dont know why. I must hit reboot system now in recovery, and then android load normally. So I decided to remove root in SuperSU. SuperSU remove root, but doesnt solved my problem. So i think i must hard reset my phone or download new rom.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djolebulldog:
I read in some post that after that you must celar cache & partition and dalvik cache and then everything works well.

Yea, Kingroot works perfectly. But i still have a same problem with recovery after reboot. I clear everything, I install new recovery and clean everything again. I disable KNOX with Kingroot and it still open recovery after reboot. Any solutions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pravster123:
I have something I would like to know. As we all know it is possible to convert our old camera phones into a security camera. This is what I have managed to achieve with my old Samsung Galaxy Ace. My question is, how long can the phone be left directly connected to a power supply whilst being used as a security camera. I am going on holiday soon and was hoping to utilise the camera for security measures but am just unsure whether it is safe enough! Will the fuse blow? Or will the battery short and explode? Overheating issues? Obviously if I'm away in a different country I can't just come back and unplug the phone if a fault occurs, which is why I am wondering how many days or weeks I can leave it permanently connected to a power supply.

All answers are apreciated! :)

Thank you in advance!!

[Asus Transformer TF700] razgrizpr:
Hello!

I need enlightenment and help from all of you, I spent hours looking for information and solutions but I wasn't able to find a situation similar to mine, rather small pieces from different scenarios.

Here's my situation:

After installing lj50036's pre-nightly OmniROM and setting it up, I decided to reboot and "clean" it. My BIG mistake was that for some reason (probably sleep-deprivation effects) I thought that doing a format in TWRP was a good idea...yeah, messed up.

I will try my best to describe the current situation and the solutions that I tried...

Currently, I am able to access fastboot and ADB sideload., even able to flash the recovery. The problem lies with not being able to install a ROM properly. What I can't do is access TWRP after a reboot, I must first flash it via fastboot in order to be able to access it, then of course it will reset after a reboot. TWRP will just keep being stuck in a loop if I don't go to fastboot. Whenever I try to install a ROM, it will fail not long after due to errors like : "Unable to mount data, system,cache etc."

I tried the following:

-The 'Repair' option in the advanced menu.

-Formatting using the 'ADB shell..." commands (I'm trying to find the correct command, as soon I arrive to my desktop, I'll update this post). What I did noticed is after entering that command, it would return strange characters. According to some posts, it could be some color formatting but I'm not sure.

-'sideloading' recoveries and ROMs.

INFO:

-Bootloader is 10.6.1.14.10

-Recovery is TWRP 2.8.6.0

From what I read, my guess is to correct the partition errors. Any tips on how to achieve this?

Could this be fixed by flashing a new bootloader or would it make it worse? I don't want to risk it further until I get some professional advice :)

Any assistance is greatly appreciated, Thank you all!
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Why was doing a format a BIG mistake ???

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] razgrizpr:
Doesn't formatting via TWRP erase all the data including the OS? :confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Depends what partitions you formatted. The OS is in /system; your data is in /data.
[Asus Transformer TF700] razgrizpr:
Makes sense. So I guess I erased them all? I honestly don't know since I left it formatting and returned a few hours later only to find it turned off. When I booted it, I experienced the mentioned issues. Battery was full as well. So maybe something went wrong during the formatting?

Is there a way to diagnose the partitions?

Did you try this?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54521117&postcount=10
[Asus Transformer TF700] razgrizpr:
Yes, I tried that. Upon entering 'make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p8' I get the message 'Need size of file system'.

Found a similar thread where the issue was not being able to mount /data. It appears that for some people 'this' helped them although I'm not sure if I should try it. Others have mentioned 'downgrading' the bootloader and then go through all the process again with success.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
From recovery run this and post the output ....

adb pull /proc/partitions

You will get a file called 'partitions' in the current directory.....

That is what it should look like ....

So if you still have fastboot flash the pt.blob will give you these partition back ....

After you flash the pt.blob boot back into recovery and run the same command and see it matches mine ...

Thx Josh

Looks like correcting the partitions did the trick. After flashing the file, I managed to flash the ROM successfully.

Some of Sony Lollipop firmwares have close all button in recent panel and some don´t. This is fix to this. It is Sony stock version and taken from firmware where you can find it. Just flash it via custom recovery or unzip it, put in correct folder and chance permission to 644 and reboot. Tested with SGP511 but should work also with any other.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidecapod:
Hi all, I am suddenly experiencing some problems to the speaker (but not only...), after something about half a year without any problems.

A couple of day ago (without any software updates or anything) after switching on the phone the external speaker was not work anymore, and neither the microphone; but, by inserting earphones, the mic starts working again.

But the most strange thing is that when the phone is off (and only when it's off), I hear something like a white noise from the speakers....

And moreover, the battery now lasts half than before, without any apparent reason; last but not least, the phone does reboot at least once a day.

Until a couple of days ago, I did not have ANY of the above problems, all working perfectly.

Can be a now defective speaker the reason for all this unexpected problems, including the battery draining?

Or maybe some other defective connections?

May I try to clean some connectors and/or change the speaker?

Or the speaker is just an "effect" of another worse hardware damage (motherboard??)

Thanks

Davide

No, not a bug at all. This is normal behavior with some apps. When an application developer updates the app, they might make small changes after the initial release. These small changes might not warrant a version number change. It happens with Twitter all the time. Nothing to worry about. :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] meraz9000:
Just received the 5.1.1 OTA. look at the kernel build date. this thing was cooked up YESTERDAY. device feels a lot snappier!! This is the T-Mobile branded one.

http://pasteboard.co/5Mu7cnk.jpg

NO, the bootloader is not locked with the 5.1.1 update that was leaked.

Rather, "Factory Reset Protection" (an Android thing - not a Samsung thing!) is now an option, which allows you to lock the bootloader yourself, protecting your device from someone installing a custom recovery, wiping your device and making it their own. It makes the device somewhat less valuable, and therefore (supposedly) less likely to be stolen.

Okay guys so many people called me fake and I don't blame you..having 5.1.1 even when nexus devices don't have it is kinda suspicious but I need to clarify some things.. New boot loader is not locked like Verizon/ATT phones It's FRP, Factory Reset Protection. This is google's response to Icloud for stolen/lost devices.. I tried to flash twrp and cfroot and freaked out when i got the error about bootloader being locked...Now this doesn't mean Samsung/Tmobile will completely lock bootloaders in the future but we have to wait and see... phone seems to be really smooth and stable , however it looks like the camera needs some work done so I'm 100% this is not the final build and I guess I'm just lucky I got it this morning and be happy that Samsung has a build this stable with 5.1.1 which means official releases are not far.

[MX Player] v.delcol@gmail.com:
I think I found a bug with MX Player Pro.

I am using it on my Android TV Q7 device KitCat 4.4.2.

If I open a video with the hardware decoder it does not correct for the Aspect ratio unless I toggle to Software Mode then toggle back to Hardware mode. Then it is OK. I have the circle selected in the Preference to force the HW decoder to correct the ratio. ( If not checked it never corrects it so the circle setting is working)

I use mostly the HW mode since my videos are Dolby encoded AC3 and HW gives a smoother picture. My work around is to do the SW/ HW toggle or for my new videos recode with the WxH the same as the aspect ratio . (IE 640x480 for 4:3 but I should not need to do this.)
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Can you try H/W+?
[MX Player] v.delcol@gmail.com:
Same problem if I switch to HW+ then back the HW aspect ratio is ok.

SW and HW+ do not pass through digital audio so the only option for me is the HW mode. (Unless that is another bug, that they don't do pass through. However not an issue that affects my normal mode of operation. I normally don't use SW or HW+ )
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Can share a download link of the any sample video that has issue.....?
