I've heard that its basically impossible to downgrade to 5.0.2 if you've upgraded. So basically anyone who upgraded to 5.1.1 is stuck? Is it just a waiting game now and hoping for a lucky break on 5.1.1 to find/develop a kernel that won't trip knox?

Ive had enough of a 4 hour battery. Im rooting this device and tripping the knox tonight. If i feel like paying for something with a phone, ill run out and buy an iphone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
That's sooo worthless and a waste of time. Root= not secure AT ALL. There is no way this would EVERRRRRRR be allowed if 1,000,000 people signed it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] whymoo:
How is root less secure? People who have root are more cautious they won't fall for the regular virus tricks, they will probably use adaway which will block viruses, and they will get security patches faster.

And if Samsung isn't convinced by this they should at least open the MST hardware to third party developers so they can make their own payment solutions.

Another thing Samsung could do is allow people who tripped knox but reverted back to stock to use Samsung Pay. Imagine buying a phone on ebay with tripped knox and not being able to use a advertised feature.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
I have to agree. Having root doesn't mean my phone isn't secure. In addition, how can I use root to magically make a purchase without taking money out of an account?

If Samsung is worried about someone else making a root app to access my accounts, then that is my own fault. I still should be allowed to use a feature on my phone. I don't like how they think they have the right to tell me what I can and can't do with my 700 dollar device. It's MY device. I'm responsible for anything that happens to it. Period.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
How is root less secure? You do know that Google's Android Pay will not work on a rooted phone; here is a Google engineer explaining why:

Google is absolutely committed to keeping Android open and that means encouraging developer builds. While the platform can and should continue to thrive as a developer-friendly environment, there are a handful of applications (that are not part of the platform) where we have to ensure that the security model of Android is intact.

That “ensuring” is done by Android Pay and even third-party applications through the SafetyNet API. As you all might imagine, when payment credentials and–by proxy–real money are involved, security people like me get extra nervous. I and my counterparts in the payments industry took a long, hard look at how to make sure that Android Pay is running on a device that has a well documented set of API’s and a well understood security model.

We concluded that the only way to do this for Android Pay was to ensure that the Android device passes the compatibility test suite–which includes checks for the security model.

Here is the entire interview: http://www.xda-developers.com/googl...-with-root-and-android-pay-in-the-xda-forums/

Samsung generates a considerable amount of income from the apps that come pre-installed on your phone. One of the primary reasons that they make rooting difficult is because Samsung does not WANT you to debloat. Using Adaway or any other ad blocker further cuts into their and their partner's revenue streams.

If rooted, you cannot receive security patches via OTA. I just posted a link for the TAR file of OL1; it was available to non-rooted users weeks ago. You will manually need to install new versions.

You are assuming that if a phone is rooted, it was by then intention of the phone's "owner." (By the way, if you are like most people, you don't own your phone. Your carrier does. That is a part of most EULAs.) But for at least four years, there has been malware and adware that can gain root access without permission.

Samsung does not want you to buy a used phone. They want you to pay them money for a new phone and leave whatever they choose to pre-install just where it is.

When I read the part about " they should at least open the MST hardware to third party developers so they can make their own payment solutions" as opposed to using the solution that pays Samsung a small amount of money across what will be billions of transactions....it hit me that you have no understanding of the business model here. I am not saying that to be mean, I really mean it.

You would find it really worthwhile to look up the answers to some key questions: how much revenue does Samsung generate from the sales of phone handsets, who is the customer (hint: it isn't you, it is the phone companies), how much revenue is Samsung Pay expected to generate, what percentage of Samsung customers root their phones. The harder Samsung makes it to root their phones, the more they own the customer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] whymoo:
That really doesn't explain why root is less secure. So they basically don't allow android pay on rooted phones because they don't know what root is. I've been using back-to-n0t3 and it had Stagefright fixed way before the official firmware. And this is the exact reason to start a petition, you don't start a petition because a company is being nice, you start a petition when a company is trying to squeeze money out of its consumers. Anyway doesn't Samsung Pay have enough customers that a developer would be interested in figuring out how to stop Samsung Pay from checking for Root, Knox and Custom Status.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] cruise350:
It has nothing to do with Samsung, it is the banks period. Rooting defeats the security features that are put in place to protect the data on your device. They have no idea how much of the security policies you have defeated when you root and install a custom rom. What back doors may have been left open. For that reason they have to set a policy that if your device was ever rooted, it can't have one of the most security sensitive features, Samsung or Android Pay, active on a phone that has possible security risks. You are so naive to think that one of the apps you've side loaded on your phone may not have some hidden code waiting to steal your info. I'm sure you would be calling your credit card company and screaming when your credit card info ends up in the wild and $1000s of dollars worth of purchases were made. It's all about liability, the banks won't allow it, and if Samsung did, they would be liable. It is never going to happen so move on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
Exactly. Its about liability, so simply have a clause stating that if you choose to use Samsung Pay on a rooted device, your security cannot be guaranteed. Instead of completely blocking the feature. In addition, people who root their phones are extremely cautious about the stuff they put on their phone, which essentially makes their device more secure than that of a stock firmware where users are careless as to what they put on. But, the point is, people who root their phones, should be allowed to use the features that were purchased with their phone. You are correct its about liability, so the user should be the ones liable for using the feature on a rooted device. I'm tired of companies and the government making decisions for me. People need to start owning to their own faults instead of blaming someone else for the mistakes they make. It doesn't really bother me cause i'll just keep using my actual card, but its the point I am trying to make that bothers me more.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] whymoo:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] qetuop:
Recently my phone has been overheating. When turned off it will heat up and drain the battery. I've read many threads/articles about turning off wifi/4G/keep the screen low/etc... I've done factory resets and installed a caynogen ROM. The phone had issues before - bluetooth/wifi stopped working, some trouble with the SD card. I noticed that apparently it was water damaged at some point or at least the indicator says so. I'm guessing it's from steam in the bathroom as I'm certain I've never gotten truly wet.

Is there a way to diagnose hardware issues? Or easy replacements parts to try? At this point I'll have to get a new phone if I can't fix it so I'm willing to risk taking it apart.

I'm dragging my feet getting a new one since I have an unlimited plan and don't want to spend $$$ for a new phone.

[General Topics] chihwahli:
Started this thread to inform users of (samsung) smartphones about GPS.

I owned or own: Note 3, Ace 3 LTE, Young duos, Core prime LTE (G361F), S advance.

What I have learned is that most phones with only GPS satilites of A-GPS are not always usable in some conditions.

In cloudy conditions, some people argue that this is not true, it's almost impossible to get good quality GPS signals.

And if you get any it's usually low quality. This low quality GPS receiving is causing problems for phones like Samsung S advance.

It's a fact that cloudy days will cause problems with GPS. With my Samsung S advance with cloudyweather, driving car, I sometimes do not get a GPS position fix in 10 minutes! After 10 minutes I gave up. With nice weather the GPS is finding my position quiet fast.

How do I know? Just take any GPS test program from Google play and find out. It will show how many satellites and how strong the signal is, and if 2D or 3D GPS positioning has been calculated. I placed both phones, Samsung S Advance and Samsung Core prime G361F next to eachother and started the "GPS test APP" from Google app store.

I remember my older phone, the Samsung galaxy ace 3, which worked pretty well with GPS. It has both A-GPS, Glonass. So I was looking around for a smart phone with ok specifications but good GPS. Looking at the specifications of the Samsung core prime LTE (G361F)

I thought it should be at least as good as my trusty ACE 3. And I was surprised that it is even better!

GPS satellites found in about 5~10 seconds. That is not the most important. Because it has A-GPS,Glonass and in Asia it will gain new satellites from Beidou. Because of this there are more satellites to contact to and the chance you get a good 3+ point satellite signal is

higher. So far I am very impressed with this.

General tip for buying any brand smart phone for people who need good GPS functionality

: make sure the phone has at least support for A-GPS and Glonass. Buying an off-line route app might be a good idea as well.

For me those GPS fix programs do not work at all (Samsung S advance) Correct me if I am wrong in my post. :good:
