[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwiggLe:
I bought two of these used off eBay, both seem to suffer from sound stutter/slight freeze ups once in awhile. I've reset both and made sure they are running the current OTA update.

It seems to mostly do it for Youtube and YouTube for Kids, but notice it once in awhile during some more graphic intense games. Which surprises me as from the specs at least this should be a pretty decent budget tablet.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjupille:
I just picked up a "seller refurbished" on from Ebay -- there are a *ton* of them up there at the moment. It actually looks pretty decent. The battery life is *horrible* (about 4 hours of SOT for reading or web surfing), but the rest of the flaws can be worked around.

First off was setting the window animations to zero, as suggested here earlier, followed by KingRoot and SU substitution (also as suggested). Then, from the Store:

- SDFix:KitKat Writable MicroSD and

- Folder Mount

combined to let me store app data on the microSD.

- FlashFire did a great job of installing Xposed Framework and from there I can tweak to my hearts' content (Greenify, GravityBox, and XSSID Indicator so far)!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
Right now, it looks like your best bet would be Oma's rom that someone mentioned earlier, which would be rooted and let you do some customization. I don't use KingRoot because there's some report that the software collects data on you without your consent. What with all the rumors about Xiaomi snooping on you and China's officially-sanctioned practices in cyber space, you don't want to assume unnecessary risks. Bad enough that Uncle Sam is looking over your shoulder, but China?? Do the math!

Back to the matter at hand. Looks like your tab will be stuck with Lollipop forever (1) because the sales of this model is low enough not to stimulate any interest in developing custom roms; (2) manufacturer's support is non-existent (I mean literally non-existent); (3) if you get a representative to answer, the person doesn't know enough to say anything beyond what's in the manual; and (4) they categorically refuse to release even a stock rom for the user to restore where the tab is bricked by their own OTA updates!!! What sets them apart is that I know of no other reputable manufacturer that would so adamantly oppose such potential remedies. Unbelievable! The only recourse is warranty - which means if you're outside that period, you're toast, even if the hardware is in perfectly working order.

To recap, absolutely no support and no update. Promulgating a policy that drives away consumers is of course their prerogative, but why they care so much about losing business is beyond me. So think hard before shelling out for their products. Low prices and enticing specs ain't worth crap if the tablet doesn't work at all.

Hi everyone!

I found following tweaks in Schaps settings.xml:

<!-- Improve Bluetooth A2DP settings -->

<characteristic type="Registry">

<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings" translation="filesystem" >

<parm name="UseJointStereo" datatype="integer" value="1" />

<parm name="BitPool" datatype="integer" value="86" />

<parm name="MaxSupportedBitPool" datatype="integer" value="86" />

<parm name="SampleRate" datatype="integer" value="48000" />

</characteristic>

</characteristic>

The question:

I would like to follow hardcore's recommendations and delete all bitpool keys automatically via settings.xml.

Simply removing them from the file doesn't help.

What's the right way to let settings.xml remove reg keys??

Thanks a lot

Raist
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Recook the ROM with the updated settings.xml.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] raistlin2k:
thanks for your reply.

I know that I have to recook the rom, but some default bitpool setting is in the registry when i simply delete the keys in the settings.xml.

So is there a way to remove keys from the registry via settings.xml?

Raist
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] booda:
Try using the "noparm" element:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmmatty:
<note: this was accidentally posted in the Note 4 General forum>

I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem but it's driving me crazy. I (mistakenly) took the latest Verizon update a couple of days ago and immediately noticed that Smart Lock stopped working. I had it working perfectly with my home address and several bluetooth devices prior to the update.

I tried everything I could think of to resolve it, including disabling Smart Lock, removing and re-adding the devices, and even hard resetting my Note 4. The only way I can make it come back is to remove my Exchange account from the phone. Once I do that then Smart Lock starts working again.

Has anyone else experienced this problem or knows how to work around it? I wish I could go back and not take the update but I see now there is no way to roll back at this point. I could try to call Verizon and have them send me a refurb but I thought I read that you can't block the OTA updater unless you're on 4.4. Is that correct?

Thanks in advance. This has been very frustrating. Alternatively if anyone knows of any other smart lock type applications that would work with the Note 4 to replace this functionality I'd be ok with that too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobyluvjr:
smat lock and exchange

One of my co workers are having the same problem on his note 4 I have the note 5 and it works great

have you figured out a solution
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmmatty:
You have a Note 5 and have an Exchange account and you can still use Smart Lock? The key here is having an Exchange account that enforces security on the device and forces you to have a PIN or password.

I thought this wasn't a bug but rather a fix in that it was never supposed to allow you to bypass Exchange security. Are you saying you're able to use Smart Lock and an Exchange email account together?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ozv101:
Obviously, the battery has been terrible on this device. I disabled Google Play Services for a day and I want to say my life tripled. However, not having Google Play Service is no way to live; can't access the Play Store, location services don't work, Gmail doesn't work, etc.

I've come across a way to disable only some of the Google Play Services via DisableService app. However, it needs to be rooted. I can't root it via PingPong because my Baseband version ends with 0F1 :(

What are my options here? Wait til I can root it? Wait for 5.1.1 and put up with the subpar battery life? Anything else to significantly improve the battery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] merlin66676:
If you have OF1, as of now there is no wait for root. Another exploit may be found but for now, if your on OF1, root is gone, possibly forever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Snowby123:
I would disagree that battery is terrible, but some basic battery saving techniques without root include dim the screen brightness, disable battery hungry apps such as facebook, S Voice, and instagram, use tasker to automate everything, turn off con.nectivity services such as wifi and bluetooth when not in use, and use greenify (even though root is required for this app to be automated). Also avoid using Googles widgets. Dont use vibrate mode either. Everything else requires root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] simplyeorange:
i dont have root. my battery is acutally great then when i first very bought the phone. i cycled the battery only to charge it at 2-5% left on battery to full did that for almost one month now and my battery has improved alot. i use the phone quite alot as well. my phone can last a whole day without charge. i have facebook instagram tumbler snapchat installed. using stock launcher as well. i just make sure to close all the apps ive used before my phone goes back into my pocket. when i get home i usally have around 33% battery left. oh i also keep a small powered fan next to my phone when its charging cause the phone does get little hot when it charges but keeping that fan on. when it charges it has changed alot my battery is way better.

i want to know if i can root and install a custom recovery without connect it to pc(it has a problem with connection to pc,maybe faulty usb)

is it possible?or it is possible to install a new rom with stock recovery or something else,without pc?

its important i am without phone please,thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenny1991:
Not to be rude, when you ask these kind of questions, you need to read more by searching.

1- confection to ? has nothing to do with root whatsoever. Troubleshooting that would be great start. By insuring drivers.

2-no root without pc. Odin is safest bet instead of trying other apps or methods outside xda. Not taking the warranty in mind here.

3-you can't use stock recovery for anything that is called useful. No you can't flash roms with it, nor flash supersu.

4-twrp is a great recovery that you need and should use. It's easy and does what it should.

You can't root without ?.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blade_:
this is sad.do you know if i can instal twrp without pc?

or i have to fix my usb port?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenny1991:
You could use an app in play store to flash twrp but again you need root. Root requires ? as far as I know.

What ? du you have? Only one USB port? Ask a friend or family to borrow their ?. Takes only 10 min.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blade_:
Pc isn't a problem. My note can connect to pc. I see malfunction note when I connect to pc. Windows don't recognise this phone. I'm sure it isn't drivers problem because every other phone is OK with my pc.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalizar:
I have a Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 i9500 running Lollipop 5.0.1. For the life of me I just can't get this thing rooted.

I have tried several different CF-autoroot files such as CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500.tar.md5, and a very vague CF-Auto-Root.tar.

I have tried running Odin in both regular and administrator modes.

I have tried flashing PhilZ touch recovery philz_touch_6.12.8-i9500.tar.md5

USB debugging is on, Unknown Sources is on, and I've tried both with and without Verify apps via USB on.

Odin always fails. It will say recovery up at the top, and almost immediately turns red and gives me a giant FAIL every single time. I have even tried Kingo Root and it will hit about 50% and fail. I've reached I point where I'm not sure what else to try. Any advice?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
Do you own a SGH-i337 or a GT-I9500?. Looks like a franki anyway.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
And if it's a frankenstein, return the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
What the other two are trying to say is that you have a frankenstein phone. Meaning that the phone was, probably, once broken and repaired with parts from other S4 models. Which also gives you false reports on the phone model.

Reason for this assumption is that the SGH-I337 is the AT&T version of the GT-I9505. So it can't possibly be I337 and I9500 at the same time

Another problem is that, if I'm not mistaken, AT&T S4 has the bootloader locked. This means you can't use CF-Auto-Root on it. It's even stated on CFAR thread.

You might want to try GT-I9505 root methods. But it's risky with such a phone..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
CF-Autoroot if I recall doesn't work because the bootloader prevents access to the system, even in recovery, and the SuperSU payload requires system access. Unless the bootloader is one of the old versions that can have the lock bypassed, pretty much the only option available is to install Safestrap recovery, and use it to bypass the AT&T ROM altogether.

OP, as I just told another guy on the forums about a half hour ago, run, don't walk, and get your money back. There are too many headaches involved with Frankenstein phones, and purchasing one is a horrible deal. You have a locked bootloader, which makes rooting nearly impossible. Installing custom ROMs of any kind requires using up internal storage since you can't change the stock ROM. There's no guarantee that you'll even get LTE service on the phone because the bands don't match what is used in the rest of the world. Lastly, as this is a tampered phone you have no warranty of any kind.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pcriz:
A lot of folks have though.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] MajorTom_:
Interesting. I'm really glad I'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't have any issues.

Is the hardware part of it loose or something?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Will Rickards:
I've yet to try it but I do believe it is an antenna issue. Maybe made worse by cases?

If I place the phone in the dash cubby of my car, it will lose gps signal.

But even when I have it on the seat next to me, it sometimes can't locate me directly and jumps.

I thought GPS status calibration would fix but I guess you have to do that every time you reboot?

It is my only complaint regarding the phone honestly.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pcriz:
I'd like to think for the most part I was one of the lucky ones but just yesterday morning I was using the navigation. It found me and plotted my route but when I started moving nothing happened. I squeezed the top of the device and it kicked in. The only thing I have been doing different is not using my case when the issue happened. Of course as tight as my case it it could be simulating the same situation as me pinching it. Or it could have been the initial cause for needing to pinch it.

Probably loose hardware indeed.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jazzmachine:
Yes, it's almost certainly a hardware issue... check out this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61755100&postcount=272 and the thread that it links to.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Rob the plumber:
Yup. The GPS test app would show 20 satellites in view, and none in use. No lock ever. I pushed on the back of the phone and it locked right on. It world's every time my gps flakes out.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] vinnyjr:
Happy to report my GPS on Note 4 gets instant lock every time. Use a Samsung flip cover that is also a back replacement.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] joshuah22a:
I have HORRIBLE gps signal... and the thing that sucks is I need it for work alot.. sometimes I'm using it and the signal starts blinking because it lost signal..and I won't get it back I leave an area or I just won't get it at all!! I hope the 5 has a much better antenna build..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rsacipher:
Like others I'm having terrible luck with my GPS but it's only been over the last 3 weeks or so. No updates, no damage to the phone it just loses the lock on the satellites. I've tried every trick in the book with no luck. I need to call T-Mobile but haven't been in the mood to hear "we haven't seen this problem before" and wasting time on the phone with them.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
Install "GPS Test" to see. I have Samsung Alpha and it get lock inside the buidling while the N4 sees nothing. I am mad. I hope N5 will be better on the GPS.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] joshuah22a:
It's not a fix but what I do since I use gps for my work I put the phone SIDEWAYS in my cluster area and it almost instantly picks up gps.. it's what I have to do to get service if not it will be almost unusable. .hope that helps
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] joshuah22a:
I was reading about putting pressure on the back on another post and once I do that my phone starts working great... what can cause it to do such a thing?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rsacipher:
I've been using it and I will get the coordinates then I will loose signal without moving. It's very inconsistent. The frustrating thing is it seems to be only over the last few weeks it's been happening.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Mr. Clown:
I also had trouble with my GPS. I constantly get the "GPS signal lost" message, however this past weekend I tested and it seems that I get the problem when I put the phone in a certain position -on my lap for example or facing down. I have a Galaxy S5 and I don't have any issues at all.

Once I put the phone in the car mount, I don't have any problems. I guess is an antenna issue as others mentioned.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] puhiniho:
So I was having problems with my GPS and I was about to get the phone replaced. I also did the root GPS fixes and tried other fixes but nothing really helped. So I went into my T-Mobile store and they just replaced my SIM and everything is working now. I don't get how the sim has anything to do with the GPS? Anyway, wanted to share it with you guys incase it hasn't already been shared.

I'd give it a try before resorting to other methods and this is an easy one. And the tmobile store didn't charge me or anything. Anyway, Good luck!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] naruto.ninjakid:
This is the reason i am about to send mine in. GPS is really ridiculous. Now im weighing the pros and cons. Will i get a refurb ? Will i get the new n910t3 variant which i don't want. Will test some more today and see if its worth it. Might try tightening screws as well.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FallenOnDays27:
Hello, I am new to the forum so I apologize if this is not the correct place to post this. I am I need of desperate help with my Alcatel C1 (Android 4.2.2 Jellybean). Within the last few weeks A LOT of my apps seem to be crashing. Just some of the apps are: Text free Pinger, Dash clock Mini Notes. Inkpad, POP, and Clean Master. When they crash most of them will open for say about 60 seconds and then either exit the app entirely and take me back to the homescreen or sometimes they will just exit out of whatever I am doing inside the app and take me back to the apps main page.

This is extremely frustrating and have no idea of the cause. A lot of my apps DO NOT crash as well, such as UC Mini Browser, my email apps, file explorer, and showbox as well as others. Why are some of my apps crashing and some not?

I have a theory that it could be my launcher...I use Apex, the paid for version. Apex will crash everynow and then though not very often. But the reason I think its my launcher is because I downloaded the regular Apex launcher through the play store and then added the premium version of it through other means....

So what I'm saying is that the basic Apex launcher is official and downloaded off the play store, however, the paid for upgrade was not.

It still doesn't answer why I had zero problems for many months after downloading both Apex versions up until recently...

So, can anyone answer why some of my most used apps are crashing and could it possibly be problems with the launcher? Thank you in advance.

Oh, and also, my phone is rooted however I never did anything with my root access yet.
