[Galaxy Note 4 General] galaxynote2:
Too many problems with the Note 4's hardware. Scratches, blacked out bezels, dents, more scratches... Polishing was (and still is) a temporal fix for the scratches, but what about the dents? the unpainted parts?. A friend of mine dropped my naked Note 4 to a hard, concrete floor face down and... what was his best choice to lift it up? Grabbing it softly from the floor? Neh.. he put his feet on it and dragged it to his position, then lifted up. Luckily, after yelling at him like for 15 minutes, I've looked at the screen at direct sunlight and it was fine and wasn't scratched at all, only the white bezel between the screen and the chromed chamfered bezel was heavy damaged, the white paint went out, it looked horribly bad. I went to my house, and started to "unpaint" (I don't know the proper word in english) the white coat to see the chromed metal behind it with scissors and polished it to remove the scratches produced by them. Result? Not much difference. It looks like a Note 3, but metallic. After that I saw that the back cover was scratched too so I thought: Why not? Polished it too. The pictures speak by themselves:

This is the part that I "unpainted":

This is how it looks my device actually:

(There's a bit of paint left, I'm trying to rub it too without scratching the bezel too much.

Glossy, glossy reflections everywhere

Looks pretty neat for me. Looks a lot like a Note 3. Why I bought this and not a Note 3? I really don't know... better screen I guess.

Post your coments below, thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kolembo:
Doesn't look bad at all!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
You did a pretty good job with your Note 4 and I don't blame you for going nuts on your friends. I hate people who treat other people's property like crap!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] skem:
you should stop hanging out with this friend of yours.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] galaxynote2:
I can't blame him 100% too. It was me who put my device without cover in my friend's hands. What I really can't understand is how the screen is completly fine. Looking at direct sunlight I can't see any (new) scratches and that's awesome!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
Good job man. Were you and your friends drunk?

My friends know I'd go Hulk on them if they did that to my phone, none have ever dropped my phone, although I did drop one friend's phone when it was just a day old, was W850 Walkman back in 2007 in highschool, he didn't get mad though but I felt very bad, luckily those days you didn't have to worry about a screen crack, just had to pick the phone up and put the battery back in and close the batt. cover, good times.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] galaxynote2:
We weren't drunk, at least I wasn't :p... He's one of these people that when he drops his phone reacts like "meh, it's just a phone".. He owns a Galaxy Pocket and he usually treats his phone like that: a cheap, resistent phone. When he dropped MY device, he reacted like he usually do with his Pocket. That's my hypothesis about this situation.. I really don't care that much, the phone looks fine after all. I own a spare Note 4 with a fried motherboard. But looks like brand new from outside so if sometime it starts to look bad I'll replace it :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Basaltmyers:
RESPECT

Bro, i respect you self control. Had my friend done that to my note 4... I would have choked him OUT! Looks good man!

Hey everyone. I was wondering if there is a way to mount my windows share to my android. I know girl explorers can view it and whatnot. But I want to mount it for other reasons.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Try this instead.

Install folder sync and set up an account for your network drive via smb or cifs....

Then create folder pair between your account and your sdcard, with your desired sync settings.

Then use Tasker to initiate the folder pair.

This is how i do it and it works great
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nguoidien:
My locked bootloader box is stuck on the white logo. The power went out during updating. I can't get it into recovery mode using any of the available methods mentioned in aftvnews (using the remote, Alt-i-PrntScrn, etc).

Can I solder wires to it and copy stock firmware bueller-ota-51.1.5.0_user_515030720-signed.bin to the EMMc, and somehow tell the box to restart the update from the beginning?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nguoidien:
Since no one answered, I guess it's a "no" or "I don't know"?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calibaan:
Before soldering I would try if the box does have a regular network recovery via LAN connection. So attach a LAN cable and wait if Amazon´s own recovery does fetch again the update.

Of course you must have the update URLs from Amazon enabled and not blocked for this.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
power went out really!? that's an unfortunate timing. Sorry to hear. I bet most of us never think about that when running through the updates.

Have you tried ALT+I+PrintScreen and then home or end and then enter. Play around carefully and try to get it to do the recovery to factory. At least you may try to save your root.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nguoidien:
I just tried that many times and I couldn't get into the recovery screen.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calibaan:
Can you not return the box to Amazon? If it has not been opened they may replace or repair it if its still in guarantee time.

You can power off the device and use flashtool to flash a FTF

You will lose your devices internal storage contents but your phone is now usable

I have been able to successfully get the location based reminders to consistently work, while the time/date reminders always work.

I've uninstalled the Google app, turned off and on Now, and cleared cache in Maps. I've tried it with WiFi on, always scan WiFi on, and even with location reporting on.

Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] davidtm0:
Do You mean that you are UNable to get it to work?

I'm using the app Automate which, for location-related actions, uses Google's geofence function. It can be hit-or-miss at times.

Sent from Tapatalk on either my HTC One M9 or Tab4 10.1, it kinda depends
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
Sometimes I can get it to work, but most of the time it does not. If I set the reminder while I am at the location, it will remind me a few minutes later. If I set the reminder before I arrive to the location, that is hit or miss. I haven't been able to identify specifics as to when it works compared to when it does not.

Soooo......Coming from the M7, I was used to the good sounding speakers. I see that people are installing Viper4Android so I thought I would also.

Hi guys hope you can help,:(

I recently got a MI Band and tried different versions of the apps but could only sync it once with a very old version (think 1.0.xx) but the step counter got stuck and the sleep data was not recognized (NOTE: Even though i could connect and sms/call notifications worked aswell)

so i tried different versions of the app but could not sync it with the newer versions...:(

My phone is a THL T11 (BLE supported) and the band works perfectly with"gliderun" (its an open beta app which works with the band but only got step counter yet , but this prooves that my band is working)

is it only the app which isnt working probably with my device?

what can i do about it?

is it possibly to pair it with a tablet, i got a e-Ceros revolution but couldnt paired it with my band

Does anyone have knowledge to any mhl adapter that charges the phone while in use?
[One (M9) Accessories] dlads:
From my past handsets, using an mhl usually requires an extra power source to get the mhl to actually work, this in turn charges the device.. AFAIK this is the norm.
[One (M9) Accessories] solsearch:
I'm using an old one from Samsung. I originally bought it when it came out to use on my HTC Sensation (so yeah, it's old and first generation). I don't know if it's because of its age or not but it normally won't charge the phone BUT sometimes it will (if I turn on airplane mode and limit video playback to hardware accelerated videos, be they h.254 or h.265 and am lucky enough that there's no background app/process which has decided to go rogue and power hungry). You might have better luck with newer ones. I know there are different MHL standards but don't know how this affects the adapters (the number of pins is not MHL version reliant but the manufacturer's choice).
[One (M9) Accessories] dlads:
I still have the MHL cable specifically made for the s3, it will fit if forced into another phone but chances are, won't work. The MHL for the s2 did with I think but not the s3 version, if it were me buying one again, I'd buy generic instead.

[MDA Compact II ROM Development] Ghinda:
How can I add more melodys to alarm directory???
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] phosty:
Really? On my HTC Artemis (O2 XDA) I was only able to get .wav files (PCM Uncompressed) to work for alarms, and then they must be less than approx 2.33mb (as reported by XP or ~2,450,000 bytes). They must be stored in the windows directory.

There are .wma files also in the windows directory but none of them appear in the clock & alarms drop down list. So I assumed .wma's can't be used for the alarms.

The .wav files must be 8bit or 16bit and either 8kHz, 11.025kHz, 16kHz or 22.05kHz (32kHz does not seem to work).

It's a bit annoying as I had a good .mid file as an alarm on my old Sony Ericsson and they are tiny (28.3kb). Converting it to .wav made it 2.5mb!!! So I had to trim it down to 2.33mb before it would work.
