[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Battlehero:
Flash the firmware via Odin is recommended, you will only have to then install a custom recovery and then simply wipe /data /system and /cache and then install this ROM.

But please make a back up of important files from your phone just in case.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] :
Yes if you are already on POF2 you can just flash this straight over the top and you'll be deodexed
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mikkelrev69:
Ok. Thanks a bunch guys!

Just to be 110% certain, I do NOT have to flash the mentioned ..HLOS.bin file also, right?

Please forgive me for this side track question.

Do you happen to know if it is possible to revert to my 4.4.4 nandroid backup after I have flashed 5.0.1 firmware by Odin/OTA?

(It may happen I wanna go back to 4.4.4 if the [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]'s Xposed method don't fly very well, due to my dependence on Xposed.

I know I can't reflash 4.4.4 anymore, but have hopes for reinstalling my 4.4.4 nandroid backup)..

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] :
If you odin stock POF2 then you will already have the non hlos bin so no need to flash again. Instead of flashing the full rom and the custom recovery again I can link you a tar file that just flashes the bootloader and modem files which is all you need.

If you want to restore your 4.4.4 nandroid you can but will need to odin the same non hlos bin as your nandroid. If you know the baseband version for your nandroid I can give you the files you need
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mikkelrev69:
Eh.. Thanks very much for taking the time to answer me on this already, but now I'm kind of more confused..

In what case would I only need to flash bootloader and modem instead of hole rom and recovery?? I mean, when I've Odin'd full stock 5.0.1 and custom recovery, I install your deodexed rom on top using the recovery. Aren't the BL and modem now the same?

Anyway thanks for this offer, but I think I'll just flash full rom and recovery not to complicate this more than I need to.

If I wanna revert to my 4.4.4 nandroid, does not the backup contain the non hlos bin I need then? (I do not know what this file is at all). Or is this file related to that I'm trying to reinstall 4.4.4 on the newly Odin'd 5.0.1 bootloader or something like that..

When do I Odin the 4.4.4 non hlos bin? Before going into recovery to reinstall the nandroid or just after I've done it before the boot up? Any wiping needed now?

Can I Odin back stock POF2 directly on the deodexed rom without wiping if I'd like to go stock again?

I'm currently on and my nandroid will be FW (NEE) 910FXXU1ANK4, baseband the same.

CSC is ...NK1 if it matters..

Thanks again.

Sent from my ****in' phone!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] :
OK the bootloader and non hlos bin can only be flashed with odin so unfortunately your backup won't contain it you will either have to flash the stock rom of your nandriod with odin or the non hlos bin.

I'll try to explain it better. When you odin the POF2 base you are installing the non hlos bin as it is part of the firmware. When you odin the full firmware you also install stock recovery. To make things easier we extract the non hlos bin from the stock odin rom and only install that. This way you don't need to install the full rom and related install custom recovery.

If you extract the tar file provided by Dr ketan here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=61658301

And flash that with odin instead of the full rom you then only need to reboot to recovery and flash the deodexed base.

If you wanted to odex the rom again yes you could just odin the POF2 rom straight over the top
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mikkelrev69:
Thanks for explaining. I think I get the picture now.

Do you also have a link to the non hlos bil file to match my nandroid, 910FXXU1ANK4 (4.4.4) baseband/firmware as you suggested?

This I odin before installing the backup, right?

Sent from my ****in' phone!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] :
I haven't I'm afraid. If you can't find one I can make one but I'll need the stock odin firmware for you backup
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mikkelrev69:
Ok. I thought you had since you asked for my nandroid baseband version. I did a search for it at the Note 4 forum just now without luck. If you really would bother to make the file for me, I'll upload the FW (1.6 GB) anywhere you like. My upload speed is terrible, but I'll give it a shot. I can try to upload it to my Mega Account and PM you the link. Do you need the zip or the unzipped file?

I can also PM you the download link at Sammobile if you like.

Noob question

Sorry for my lame question, I have my N910F for only 1 week now and tried to root it firstly when I was running FXXU1COJ3, but I failed due to lack of research (now I know how to). However, I installed FXXS1COK2 version, I rooted it successfully and got "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-trltexx" installed as well. Everything is running sensational! I cleaned all the junk and installed ABS Tweaks, Ad away etc. I Love my phone now. My question is though if it worth upgrading to other version. I would need somebody's help to tell me what could be the difference between FXXU1COJ3, FXXS1COK2, and FXXU1POF2. I've seen that FXXU1POF2 is the latest version, but which is better (faster) ?

Thank you in advance!

Hi XDA!

Maybe this sounds weird but hang on, I'm bean working on a fitness app 24/7 for the last 5 month and the app is getting pretty nice if you ask me.

The app is called Runbit and focus on a completly new way of running by placing stars on the map around you. I've also added extra option for hunting animals and escaping from monsters. Beside being a great looking app I've added support for the Android Wear with full map support witch are pretty insane compared to Runkeeper, Nike+ and so on..

Now comes the problem the app have around 3900 downloads on the Android platform. My question is why I'm not getting more downloads, Looking at the top30 list in Android the apps looks like crap built in 1 week and pretty obvious some black hat / ads network have boost the app to reach over 500k downloads in a month or so. Is it even possible to reach a decent user base without a budget like Nike or some blackhat magic or click farm?

First place a user looks for new apps is the top list but if "app install ads" have boost crap to the top list what will happen in the long run?

Thanks and have a nice day!

ps. If you would like to leave som feedback on Runbit or see with your own eye

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
Hi all

I've just received my S6 edge, realized and read all over the web that Auto-brightness is always on, even if I disable (un-tick) it on the status bar and tried with a torch on the sensor and guess what...it was true:) It went full bright, as I wish I could adjust it myself whenever I wanted to!!

Is there anyway to really turn off the auto-brightness and adjust the full level of brightness myself??

If anyone doesn't have this problem, please let me know what firmware are you on?? Test is easy

Turn off (untick) auto brightness and put a flashlight over the sensor next to the speaker

Check if display becomes brighter

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snowby123:
I do not have that problem. I am using a custom ROM, but I never had that problem to begin with so it might be an issue that only applies to certain variants? I know there are tricks with root that can overcome this issue, so if you have not acquired root I recommend you give it a try.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
My phone is not coming from a carrier, it s unbranded!

I m rooted already, can you give me a hint where to look at??

Also can you tell me what rom you are using??

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snowby123:
Mine is from Verizon. In the US. I installed Extreme Syndicate, an extremely debloated rom... It has alliance framework built in which allows customization such as that which you desire. V7 of the rom is based on the OE2 build of 5.0.2
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
I ll check if I can install only alliance framework on my stock rom

I ll get back...thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
Alliance framework or different rom for now needs custom recovery

As I ve just received the phone I dob't wa t to trip knox for now and most important part I can't use Smart view with my tv if I go custom recovery or kernel!

So I need a more "stock" solution...anyone with a stock firmware preferably on 5.0.x (so as to easily root) that this bug is not happening??
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snowby123:
I am a bit surprised. Letdown.

Since my suggestion wont work for you,

why dont you ask Samsung about the bug?

If no one here has an answer, perhaps they could explain what is going on?

It is my only other suggestion (albeit a quasi-bad one)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
The thing is from what I ve read that everyone is facing this issue/function

If you have autobrightness from the slider turned off and hold a torch on the sensor next to the earphone you ll see your screen super-bright, in fact not so quality bright(contrast and sharpness way too high), it is supposed to be like this for direct sunlight so as to be able.to see better.

Final conclusion is that next to my s5, lcd from s6 seems a little dimmer, maybe little more realistic colors but for sure a little dimmer than my s5 for sure.

Do you have an s5?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snowby123:
Never been interested in one
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
So nobody noted this??

If you are in a dark room and you put a light on the sensor it gets brighter...

Nobody???
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oliv3:
Because it's not a practical issue? Or even an issue at all?

If I threw my phone off a roof and it shatters, should I complain about that too?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
What??

But I have Auto unchecked...is it supposed whatever it wants to??

It s not an issue not to have the brightness you want on a 1000$ phone??

Maybe you dont care enough...
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oliv3:
I gave you the reason on why people don't care. Did you not read it?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
It s not happening on regular s6...so it's an issue on the edge!!!! Why cant I always have full brightness??

What is the hard part to understand?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oliv3:
Do you know what practical means? How is this affecting your phone usage in a negative way?

Unless you're telling me, you use your phone in pitch darkness with a flashlight shining on it. Otherwise, nobody cares.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
Most possibly you dont understand what I m talking about!

As soon as I get home in the normal lighting conditions screen is dimming itself although auto in the slider is not checked!

Only way to get all brightness back again is to approach the phone close to a light source, either a flashlight or just a simple lamp at home!

There are many google results complaining.about this.issue!

Do you have an edge yourself??

Maybe you can test it and if it s not happening with your phone can you share what firmware are you on?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oliv3:
I have an edge.. That's why I'm on these fourms, and I am aware of the problem you're describing.

Alright, let's do this one question at a time then.

1. Can you still see/read the screen when it dims?

2. Does your eyes hurt from the abrupt dim in the screen?

3. Why does this matter for your daily usage?

4. Why are you complaining about this, when there's better things to complaining about? Like ram management (that actually effects people in daily use).

5. Have I made this clear on why people don't care?

6. Are we good on this topic now?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
1. Yes I can but without the perfect brightness/contrast/colours of the beautiful screen.

2. No

3. 3/4 of usage is inside somewhere, why not gain from the full potential of the phone's lcd

4. It's better than the s5 in any way.

5. Answered everything, maybe it just doesn't matter to you, doesnt mean it shouldnt matter to anyone else!

6. Yes we both have our opinions, that why topics and forums exist.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oliv3:
I didn't say threads or topics shouldn't be made, when people have problems.

Question 6 was meant for the topic on "why people don't care" not "why you made this thread."

My screen looks beautiful, I see nothing to complain.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
Ok, thats fine by me.

I just dont see it so beautiful when I m inside somewhere and I don't like that it's happening by itself!!

That's all!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyknight77:
Until you see a phone without the auto brightness issue next to one with the issue, you won't understand. Screen looks much better and colors are more vibrant indoors on a phone without the issue. It's the same if you turn down brightness on your phone by 20%. Is it usable? Yes but its very annoying when you know the screen is capable of looking better! I know some people that keep their brightness down to a minimum, some keep auto on, while some like to keep it at the maximum, the point is when there's an option to do auto or manual and something doesn't work, then it needs to be fixed. It might not matter to you, great for you, but it matters a great deal to others. That's why there's an option to turn off auto brightness in the first place... it needs to work for the phone though.

Sent from my SM-G925T
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oliv3:
I did all the tests, it got brighter, but 20%?, you must be joking. OP was asking why no one was responding to him, and I gave him an answer. No one said my opinion is the only one that matters. If OP wasn't frustrated without an response, I would have never said anything, and then this thread will be buried six feet under.

Also, You making stuff up isn't going to make the situation more dire. As far as I know, all edge models are affected by this(I had three that had this) ,but the s6 isn't. Are you saying to me the s6 looks better indoors? That's a joke right? People would've noticed that.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
So nobody yet can track down this bug and solve it?? Willing to donate!

I did it!!! I flashed the original sammy firmware from regular s6 through flashfire and set it to get me.to download when finished, then I ve flashed through odin the original s6 edge stock kernel and voila, not even factory reset needed and dim bug is finally gone(ok together with the edge features but unneeded anyways)

Hope I ve helped soneone

I was looking for something like this. Thanks very much..........
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jose-MXL:
Let me know if you need anything else (i.e. more detailed instructions) and report back your results, unfortunately for the audience, I didn't take pictures of the process since I wasn't sure it was going to work (and then just took the picture of the NFC springs), so if you can take some pictures of how the contacts looks in the inside, that would awesome, I can update the main post with these, there is quite a few springs inside so you want to make sure you get them all in shape.

I forgot to say in the main post, better 3G/4G signals give a lot less of work to the amplifiers, which means less phone heating and less battery consumption, this is a nice service to do to a 2 year old phone like mine.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jmacguire:
Enclosed is a picture from a replacement mid frame cover. Could you please use something like ms paint to circle which pins you bent upward? Looking at my Optimus G Pro 980 Mid frame cover and motherboard/logicboard I do not see these........
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jose-MXL:
UPDATE:

See main post, I got a picture from somewhere else for the spring locations.

Actually my friend, that picture only shows the pads for the antennas, try to match it with your phone and see where they contact, these are going to be the springs, they don't look like spiral springs, these are other type of springs which I don't recall the name but they are more like a V shape, and one of the sides is attached to the board and the other one "springs" up and down, let me know if you got it or I will open my phone again, just for you! (no kidding)

Also, if I were you I would try to do the same for all pairs of springs I see on the motherboard, there is a pair for the speakerphone and one more down the board for something else.

GPS finally fixing

Thank you so much for this post. Before this solution, I tried different roms, gps fixing apps, disabling carrierIQ, editing the gps.conf file to add "better" servers, etc. This is the only solution that really worked. Now I am getting a GPS fix in 10 to 15 seconds where before it was up to a minute or more. I have an LG E980 (ATT Version).

As directed, I turned off the phone, removed the rear case back, removed the battery+sd card+sim card, removed the screws in the back panel of the phone and then separated the back panel from the front panel to expose the circuit boards and spring contacts. Then, I cleaned all the spring contacts and their mating flat contacts on the back panel with alcohol. Then I bent all of the spring contacts up slightly, re-seated the back panel making sure the side buttons were in the correct place (I do not believe the quickmemo and power buttons are interchangeable even though they are the same size fyi), and then secured the screws back in place.

Thank you!

:D
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jose-MXL:
Way to go buddy, I'm glad I could help you and that you were able to follow those horrendous instructions, I can't be sure on your case since yours wasn't as bad as mine, but on my case it also improved 4G reception overall, these antennas are used for pretty much everything so it would only be logical to get better signal on all the services, this is a "must" service on old E98X phones, perhaps nearly half of the GPS and bluetooth issues on the forum are due to this plus a weak or faulty software filtering not helping.
[LG Optimus G Pro] fosunite:
any info how to increase the wifi antenna? could this be the white cable?
[LG Optimus G Pro] fungo45:
I've quit using my OG Pro because the GPS is so poor. Hard to get a fix and drops constantly. Glad I stumbled on this, and will give it a try.

Can you point out which springs are specific to the GPS antenna? I suppose I can try to work with all the springs, but with my luck, I 'll break something that was working fine.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ryanrod:
I don't know which ones they are. I did all of them. They are a lever type spring contact so it is hard to break them. Just do so lightly.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Emmanuel U:
Wow fairly simple fix with great results, thanks!
[LG Optimus G Pro] LowVolume:
Just tightening all the screws fixed all my GPS issues. No disassembly required! Add this into OP.
[LG Optimus G Pro] rwmich:
Thanks

Just did this, really improved the speed and reliability of everything- gps, wifi, etc. Thanks.

A quick tip for those doing this the first time. be careful of the buttons. I've taken apart my optimus g pro a few times now, and those dern things like to fly out of you're not careful when taking it apart. Also, when putting back together, use a small piece of scotch tape on the exterior of the frame to hold the buttons in place when you put the frame back in place. make sure the tabs of the tape stay on the outside, and pul them gently as you snap the screen back on. It's easier to have the frame on the table on put the screen down onto the frame when done this way, and save those dern buttons from coming out of their slots.
[LG Optimus G Pro] cgigate:
I have two OG Pro (E980) developed same broken GPS issue.

Now, I think the problem is the two soft contact pads, when I bent little bit, the GPS 's issue got fixed.

Also, the method not to improve any 4g/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth.

LG made such low quality contact PINs
[LG Optimus G Pro] pmhoppe:
Two years have passed and this thread is still helping people with their now "ancient" G Pros. My problem was that the coax cable had popped loose. Still I went ahead and re-tensioned all the contact springs. GPS is now functioning like new. Thanks to all who contributed.

But keep in mind. Slim cases like this offers less protection.

The Ringke Max is actually pretty 'slim' with a lot of protection. If you want close to naked feel, then the Ringke Slim might be best, but really not that much protection.

PHATLET

I bought the Spigen Ultra Hybrid (clear), Thin Fit (clear), Slim Armor and S Wallet. IMO the Slim Armor fit and looked the best, but FAT. The TPUs just made the phone uber FAT(er). The wallet hinge/flap/binder thing is too loose and flabby [I wanted tight form fitting].

I ordered several generic gel jelly slim TPU.

First one to arrive is one with a logo that reads INSTEN and I am very impressed by it.

It's tight (queue up Micheal Meyers), lip is thin and holds on to the frame without going over on to the glass, barely raised ever so slightly higher than the screen.

It makes the screen/viewing pop out (it might be the color I chose, yellow).

The cutouts are great, the thinly covered raised areas over the power and volume rocker are just right (if you have the slim armor you might experience what I have, where touching the buttons is just too sensitive).

Grippy and sturdy. Knocked some on the table, I'd use it to press some buttons, sure..

I might go order more colors.

Usually I like Goospery Mercury Gel TPU cases on my phones, but haven't found any made for the N6.

EDIT: easy in and out from pocket.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] vboyz103:
Thanks guys for your suggestions. I think I'm going to go with the slick wraps full body because it does not add any bulk and provide some protection.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] wolfen69:
That INSTEN case is identical to the Caseology cases. Probably made in china, and companies just put their own name on it. But they look OK with medium protection.

I'm not doubting your choice, as it's your phone. But any "protection" you get from a skin will be just to prevent scratches and no drop protection. Good luck.
