[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fire1ce:
I have this great tablet for about 2 month. still unable to find a single rom for the LTE variant.

does someone know any?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vogemic:
Most roms have no official support. But most with working LTE. AICP, Temasek, Dirty Unicorns, Broken OS and simple aosp all support LTE. It is up to you wich ROM suits you best.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trinikartel:
All the ones that I've tested so far that "support" LTE, break GPS. Since I use my N9 for navigation, that's a problem for me. I haven't had any issue aside from that.
[AT&T LG G4] phineous:
Go to this thread in the General G4 Q&A forum. I don't want to have to update threads in multiple forums.

A US Cellular user reported that they still received an update even with LGDMSClient.apk blocked.

I've suggested more files to block to prevent updates, and posted a list of all the files I'm currently blocking in that thread. I update the lists as I find more files to block so check back occasionally.
[AT&T LG G4] Jammin72:
I read the information on debloater. It claimed that it required root access so I didn't give it a shot.

Now the update forced on me today. :mad:
[AT&T LG G4] phineous:
Root required to uninstall the packages, but you can block/disable them without root. Debloater gives you access to block more packages than you can see in Settings - Apps.
[AT&T LG G4] darien87:
Not for me. I tried using Debloater and it said that my phone did not support root or blocking and quit. Not sure what the issue is.
[AT&T LG G4] phineous:
Which carrier/model # is your phone?

Did you install the LG United Mobile Driver?
[AT&T LG G4] Budde13:
So far so good for me :o, thanks for the links.

For

AT&T LG G4

Drivers go here, then download and install the "LG United Mobile" driver.

I'm currently looking to see if the GNSS stuff disabled by phineous (as seen attached in his post) will have any effects on the GPS / Google Maps.

Thanks again!
[AT&T LG G4] phineous:
I used Google Maps and Waze all day today and didn't notice any problems or GPS location issues. This is on an AT&T H810 so other variants could have issues though.

I only blocked the LG GNSS file because it appeared in many bloatware lists for other phones and I saw it running and using a bit of memory from time to time. I do tend to block first and ask questions later!

Please post your results!
[AT&T LG G4] Budde13:
Oh sweet, did not know that (still a noob). BTW, used gps today with GNSS disabled, worked fine. What little problems I did notice was accountable to weather conditions.

Battery life is now vastly better! :good:
[AT&T LG G4] phineous:
Glad it helped! Please post if you find any problems. Let others know how to prevent updates to ensure their ability to root!
[AT&T LG G4] Norcalz71:
I also got the error message saying I could not remove to block, but i still seemed to be able to disable. Does anyone know what the terminology difference is between "disable" and "block" with regards to this app?
[AT&T LG G4] phineous:
I think when the dev says block Debloater removes the package from the phone to a backup on the computer, but this requires root.

Disable works for non-rooted phones and seems to prevent the package from running similar to what you can do to most apps in the Apps menu.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] checobeltran:
Hi there.

Well I currently have the s6 edge from att. Android 5.0.2

I know there is a newer android version but it's not been released yet on att.

Well my problem is that my Web browsers keeps crashing. It's crashes when I open it. Kicking me back to where home screen. Then I haven to open it again and now it works.

But it's always the first time I open it after not using it when it crashes. Same for chrome and Firefox. Haven't tried other browsers yet.

Any fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] sameer1807:
I noticed that with chrome a few weeks ago..switched to chrome dev..seemed to be fixed. Then as of recent, that has been crashing too..idk what could be causing it. Low ram maybe?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] checobeltran:
I am not sure. It may be the famous sucky ram management. I don't know if this is fixed with the update
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] litesout:
Mine's done it pretty much from day 1. The browser is the only thing that does it though. Doesn't matter if I launch a link from Gmail, email, search, voice, whatever. It always closes as soon as the page opens the first time. After that it's fine. I took the recent OTA hoping there would be a fix, but there was no change.

[Samsung Galaxy Core.] LeoONeon:
sorry, i should said before... but i tried to do that, unfortunately won't work

i look for 3 roms of my phone, all official, same model, and none worked, odin always fail when try to setup connection. But before, when my phone was fine, a driver (SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device) fail to initiate, just in download mode, when i connected my phone by its system all drivers worked fine, only in download mode i had problem, like i have now, but now i do that: unninstall that CDC driver and disconnect my phone, then i reinstall samsung usb drivers, when finish i reconnect my phone, only when i do that works... i don't know if is because of that odin always fail to setup connection, odin is my only option? I wanted to use recovery mode, but when i try my phone reboot without showing that mode :(
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] FedericoPeranzi:
[MENTION=6800624]LeoONeon[/MENTION] Take the battery off, and pu it again and try it, for now Odin is the only way to flash the official ROM, try in a different PC, may be that is the problem
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] LeoONeon:
I tried to take off the battery, all night long, yesterday, and still boot to that update screen. And about trying a different PC, except my pc, i only have a iMac here, but i'll try, and another PC from some lan house. I'll back here to say if worked. Wish me luck :fingers-crossed:

[Sony Smartwatch 3] jkr284:
Been swimming in UK loads and the watch stayed waterproof. Go on holiday to Rhodes and its full of water on the first day. Not happy.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] techrider6262:
You need to be very sure that the rubber plug is in all the way.That is the only way water can get in:crying:
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nrseife:
The SW3 is not rated waterproof in the case of saline water....
[Sony Smartwatch 3] owtamo:

[Sony Smartwatch 3] magicdark:
Yesterday I went to the sea, I have been in the water more than an hour with the watch and no problem.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] supac:
I swim and take mine in the jacuzzi daily
[Sony Smartwatch 3] jkr284:
I made s6re the seal was on before I went in. Ive had it in a bag of rice since. I tried it this morning and it switches on now but the touch screen isnt working. Ill try to dry it out more.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
You can try to contact sony and tell them it is defective. They should honor the warranty, however they do say never take unrated electronics into salt water. This watch is rated for dips in fresh water up to 1.5 meters. Also, they say once in a while, submersion in a pool is okay if you clean it off afterward.

Rice should work, but will take a while.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] floallie:
And this is how you tell people you have a jacuzzi :laugh: smooths

[Sony Smartwatch 3] reijin:
haha, made my day.

I'm too much of a whimp to do that... Cheers to having a jacuzzi though ;)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Dandgqro:
The IP certifications only covers "filtered" water' like in a pool or like the friend who dropped in the toilet after the diarrhea, sea water is not covered in the waterproof specs.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] JavaGP:
The IP68 rating on Sony's own web page contains the following footnote:

The SmartWatch 3 is water and dust protected as long as you follow a few simple instructions: you can’t take the SmartWatch 3 deeper than 10m of water and for longer than 30 minutes; and the water should be fresh water. Casual use in chlorinated pools is permitted provided the SmartWatch 3 is rinsed in fresh water afterwards. No seawater and no salt water pools. Abuse and improper use of device will invalidate warranty. The SmartWatch 3 has an Ingress Protection rating of IP68.

See: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/smartwear/smartwatch-3-swr50/
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mightyox:
Same here, no longer waterproof.

Went swimming last night and water got in, the screen went on and off for a while and after 30 minutes it stayed on. The big problem now is that the touch screen no longer works, making it useless. I think the seal gets lose over time even though it looks fine.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Al3xxxinho:
If you take a look at the teardown video, the problem is not with the micro usb connector, it is fixed into a lot of glue so there is no way that water will get in through that part. I bet that the lcd's adhesive loses it's stickiness in time, making tiny holes for the water to get in.

Also, it is forbidden to swim with it in salt water due to the fact that the rubber seal for the usb connector is not waterproof, and the salt water can corrode the contacts in no time.

By the way, what was sony's response for this? Was it covered by warranty?

I'don't swim with it, drop it in the toilet and sh*t on it, I just wash it with soap and water from time to time when it gets dirty so it's good to know their answer.

Thank you!
[Sprint LG G3] chaotix000:
My phone got wet last night and thankfully it looks as though everything still works but the phone thinks the headphones are plugged in. I cleaned it as much as I currently could and restarted it multiple timesbut the icon is still at the top and the sound from the phone will not play through the speaker. Is there any way to disable the headphone jack? My phone is rooted and I have xposed so anything helps.
[Sprint LG G3] Ripley22:
Have you tried to blow out the jack with compressed air (gently)?

What if you tried flashing the ROM again ? That could possibly fix the issue.

Also if you place you phone in a bowl of uncooked minute rice it should absorb any moisture that you can't see. I have done this before and it has helped me.

Good Luck,

Ripley
[Sprint LG G3] chaotix000:
Thanks for the reply. Turns out my phone got over the headphone jack issue but the charging port is fried. The water shorted it out and now I can't charge my phone normally. But it's ok cause I got a wireless charger. As for the headphone jack. Its shorted too...kind of. The phone will detect that there is something plugged in but the audio will not go through. So now my phone is 100 percent wireless dependent. I can only use Bluetooth for audio to like a speaker and I can only wireless charge. Phone still works well otherwise.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aholeinthewor1d:
So when I went to lollipop I couldn't stand that the normal silent mode was gone and did some research and found that there is an xposed module to bring it back. I got xoosed working just fine and then found out that the true silent mode module doesn't work on Verizon Samsung devices and posted in the thread and this is the response I got

I just got done flashing back to KitKat and rooting from scratch or else I would. Really want to use lollipop but can't without the silent mode from KK.

If you search for the "true silent mode" thread you will see the info on the most recent pages. Basically should function now but if someone gives him logs he can hopefully get it working fully

[XDA Assist] animatronix:
hi , i got a galaxy s4 gt-i9515 4.4.2 (build ver. that ends with NK2)

i rooted it using this guide: " can't post the link since new user but is by mrwolf s4 towelroot etc.. ", with the right NK2 kernel file.

i checked with root checker and it says root is ok, and using the paragon ntfs app i see in settings that SELinux is on permissive.

My problem is that i can't figure out a way to read ntfs devices with s4; the only way i can read them is using Total Commander + Paragon Total Commander plugin but i don't like the Tot. Com. interface plus i need to download the file form the drive to see them.

Using Paragon ntfs app when i mount the drive (WD 1tb or any ntfs pendrive.. tried both) the warnign on top "blank disk etc. " remain and i can't find the files anywhere in the phone i tried using defalut viewer and File Manager with root access on it, i looked everywhere in any folder , i tried using different apps too like USB OTG helper but it says code 9 error and in the folder that it should be mounting the drive i can't see anything.. is empty.

Did i really root my phone?i see the knox counter is 0x0.

Plus i notice that in sdcard there are folders named paragonntfs_1 2 3... etc i can't even delete them .. i finally did delete the paragonntfs_4 fodler but the others says write protected

Can you help me?

The phone is a XT1095; Pure Edition

So I unrooted the phone and flash the stock 5.0 image from Motorola.

In the bootloader, it's still showing that the software was modified even though the phone has been unrooted.

I've wiped cache and did a factory reset and still no change.

Any ideas? I'm sending the phone back for RMA and don't want Motorola rejecting my RMA because of the software status.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
What model do you have? XT10??
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicolae-Daniel:
You need to reflash firmware.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phamine:
I'm using a x1095.

I reflashed the stock firmware that is posted on Motorola's webpage.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
Don't worry then. The XT1095 does not lose it's warranty because it is unlocked nd modified, it is the "pure edition".
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J5333JF:
This problem have one solution.

1. Restore STOCK firmware with ADB o RSDLITE

2. Install one update with MOTOROLA OTA

only then are transform "modified" to "official"
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walrusmonarch:
Yep, I noticed the same thing. I wonder why flashing stock 5.0 from Motorola doesn't set the status to official.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J5333JF:
I don't now. But this is the only mode for change the status modified to oficial.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phamine:
I thought if it was only the bootloader was unlock that would qualify? So with a Pure Edition Software Modified would qualify as well?

So fastboot method wouldn't work for #1?

I'll try to find an OTA that would work with the stock 5.0 image.

Moto X(2nd Gen) Pure Edition:

L-5.0-LXE22.46-11 TMO

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images

Right now if I check for an update on the phone or use Motorola Device Manager, it doesn't pick up any updates.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
Modified does not matter on the XT1095. The whole point in unlocking the bootloader is to modify it... So yes being modified ia covered.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phineous:
Root developers are saying don't take the updates. Few people are reporting that the updates made anything better. Don't take the updates if you can help it.

Follow the instructions below, and report back with your phone info (carrier, variant, software version, etc.). Also report if updates were successfully blocked, or if they installed anyway, or if you just get a nag screen. Thanks!

If your phone has already downloaded the update and is trying to install it, follow the advice here. This won't work for AT&T phones because they removed recovery mode.

Start here:

Get debloater (works without root!) and set up your computer so you can run ADB and connect with your phone. You may need to install the LG United Mobile Driver.

Please donate to the Debloater developer, gatesjunior! Debloater has made this so much easier!

There are many packages you can block that will improve the performance and battery life of your phone (see my blocked.txt below), but the packages you want to block that will hopefully prevent updates are:

LGDMSClient.apk (Blocking breaks WiFi calling setup on Sprint only.)

LGUpdateCenter.apk

LGFOTA.apk Two users reported calls going straight to voicemail with this blocked.

LGLDB.apk I don't know if it's related to updates but it seems to be MLT spyware.

Not all carriers will have all these files, but block what you do have and report any problems so I can update this post with what works and what doesn't

Carrier specific files:

Sprint users may want to block:

Sprint_Installer.apk

ItsOnService.apk

ItsOnUID.apk

Tierez reported that blocking the ItsOn files breaks WiFi. They also reported that blocking LGDMSClient.apk broke the WiFi calling setup screen.

Verizon users should block:

VerizonIgnite.apk, It's a post-sale bloatware installer. Thanks alan242!

[MENTION=5348307]JeffXT[/MENTION] inadvertently blocked a Verizon file that enabled tethering.

AT&T users should block:

WildTangent.apk

T-Mobile users should block:

AdaptClient.apk

This will break the software update screen in about phone and so far has prevented my phone from trying to update. My AT&T H810 hasn't tried to update and I can't force it to update since I blocked LGDMSClient.apk, but it seems we can't be too safe in preventing forced updates so leave no questionable package unblocked!

Something I also did during setup was to not agree to the optional LG EULA that would have allowed app updating. I've also blocked:

LGStartupEula.apk

LicenseProvider.apk

UnifiedEULA.apk

Don't block LGSystemServer.apk, it breaks notifications and other stuff (LED, sound, and vibration).

Autoprime is listing which software versions are updating the firmware to V1 here.

Good luck!

Don't block LGSystemSetup.apk or LGSetupWizard.apk! You'll need it to run if there phone gets reset. Ignore the blocked.txt file below.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z3ldaFan88:
Just a quick heads up (might just be me, might be US Cellular in general....I am not sure) I went through and did this after hearing about different companies basically force feeding their clientel these OTA Updates and even though I did it all right down to the letter and did not skip anything my US991 still went ahead and did a forced update to 10c (not sure why or even when it did this, just know that it did at some point).

Hopefully they are not blocking any exploits with this stupid 10c update (which I assume they did as my device was running buttery smooth and had no issues that would have needed an update in order to correct).
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phineous:
Sorry to hear it didn't prevent your update.

I've added more files to block, and one to unblock in the OP.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z3ldaFan88:
No worries, it just is what it is (yeah I was angry about it, but not like I can do anything about it). I will certainly go through and block the rest of the applications that you mentioned though so hopefully I can prevent any future aggravations caused by these damn self-updates. Thanks for posting how you went about it and letting us know that (so far at least) it is going according to plan.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] painedglass:
Holy Cow! I thought T-Mobile was bad with the bloat but jeez....AT&T makes our bloat look like....well, I dunno it's still bloat, but we've got a LOT less of it lol. I use the debloater tool, but UX 4.0 isn't that bad by its self. I removed all the T-Mo stuff and that's about it.
