[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkidz91:
Correct me if I am wrong, if I would want to later on update my phone to higher OS, I should not allow TWRP to mount the system..correct?

Currently my situation is, I did not allow TWRP to do the mounting and I rooted the phone...and everything is working fine so far...does that mean I am safe?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If its working fine (for whatever purposed you need root), than you're good.

Although obviously, if you want to modify the system partition in the future, you will need write protection for that partition disabled.

You can always make a stock TWRP backup (which you should do, anyway) with the system unmounted, to return to for future OTA. Or return to stock using the RUU.

You also need the stock recovery to update by OTA. So your phone is not going to OTA update (update will fail) in its present configuration (with TWRP installed), regardless.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkidz91:
I need the Titanium backup :o to recover my apps and data ><

Hmmm..TWRP backup of the ROM...this is what you are talking about right? :D

Before that, does that mean that if the system has been tampered before, the OTA will not go in? This is what the link you gave just now talking about?

About the stock recovery, I am fully aware of this :D

I am really sorry if I keep causing trouble to you...I just want to double confirm...I have spent few days just to get my phone for working right...really exhausting to the mind ><
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes, the new feature seems to be aimed at ensuring the ROM is untampered, for making a full "stock" backup for OTA purposes.

No trouble at all. If I didn't enjoy helping, I wouldn't bother responding. ;)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkidz91:
Got it! Whenever I do back up, do I need to back up the data? As I already got the Titanium to backup all my user apps. :confused:

What I am saying is the recovery let me choose what to back up...I chose only system, and boot i think...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkidz91:
Hi, after updating to Lollipop and using it for past few days, everything seems to be working fine...however, I have got a slight issue with Facebook app...whenever I am on my mobile data, I will have error loading the latest news feed. It is working fine on WiFi.

I have tested loading other apps with Mobile Data only...and they are working fine...I have researched online and some said I shall do a factory reset before and after a major update to OS...should I do this?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If the intent was to just backup a "stock ROM" than no need to backup user data.

If the intent is to make a recovery image, that you can just revert to and start using with no (or very little other actions) than backup data. But as you said, you can restore data (at least app data) with Titanium.

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 AM ----------

If you updated by RUU then no need to factory reset. RUU already wiped all partitions, in a much more comprehensive way than factory reset.

Try clearing app cache for Facebook; or uninstalling Facebook app, and reinstalling, without restore data for that app with Titanium.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkidz91:
Tried doing so...not working...anyway, can I run the RUU again to wipe off the entire phone and set up as new?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You can run the RUU until the cows come home, if you want.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkidz91:
What does that mean? >< i tried to do it...it failed...should I just download a stock 4.19.707.2 rom and flash it?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Ha, that means you can do it again and again.

Did you relock the bootloader? This is

always

required to RUU when s-on.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkidz91:
OH YEA! Relock bootloader! >< damn...my head is not getting straight :crying: luckily having u here
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkidz91:
Finally run the RUU once again. However, while trying to restore from Titanium Backup...the restoring progress won't proceed...searched online and realized that my backups are all corrupted (first time happening for me).

Although apps' backup have been corrupted, it is lucky that the data are not...so I just need to download all the app again and restore the data.

Is this a known issue in Lollipop? I save my backup all to the external SD using the new external SD feature by Lollipop...will try again to backup all my apps and verify it once again (people should really do this everytime they finished backup).

By the way, if I am intended to flash CM 12.1 into my phone...do I need to be S-Off?

According to Sunshine's website, they said this: "With an unlocked bootloader, you are able to flash and run custom recoveries, ROMs, and kernels. This is enough for many users. With s-off you have full control of the device. You can do things like flash radios and custom hboots. You can even change properties like CID and MID that can allow you to convert to different editions of your device. If you are a true power user, you need s-off."

Does that mean as long as I am not tampering with flash radios, custom hboots, customer CID and MID, I can just ignore s-off?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I haven't read of noticed any known issue with Titanium on LP in particular. Bad backups on Titanium can just happen sometimes. Happened a lot more when this device was new over, a year ago. But I think these issues have been ironed out a while ago, for the most part.

I've restored apps and app data several times on LP with no issues on this device. I store my TB backups to the internal storage, not sure it makes a difference.

May just be bad luck on that particular backup run. If you are doing batch restore, it might even just be one app that won't restore, and is blocking all the rest. But if you do them individually, most of the app backups might be good. I've had it happen on my Samsung tablet once or twice.

Pretty much answering your own question. Your last line is almost exactly the same as the text you quoted from sunshine's website.

S-off isn't needed to flash ROMs. It may be needed to update firmware (but there are ways around that, too) in order to run the current ROMs. But your firmware is already up to date. You're good to go, to flash CM12.1. Just backup your data, wipe (data, cache, and Dalvik) and flash the ROM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkidz91:
Tried to do batch backup again last night and verified the backups...everything is working fine...with the same setting...only difference I made was making a new folder in external SD (with a different name) and store everything into it...really weird :silly:

Just trying to double confirm, cause I was discussing this with a friend and he mentioned I should s-off as well if i want to flash CM 12.1...but now everything is clear...thanks!!!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It happens. No app is perfect.

Your friend should stop propagating incorrect information. Sounds like he needs to do more learning and understanding, before dispensing advice.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkidz91:
Of course, taught me that I need to verify my backup as well :D

Haha..corrected him over this already ;)

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I don't use Cm12.1 on this phone. But it should be ARM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkidz91:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lachiepower0402:
So I was thinking about my IR blaster in my phone today and what I could do with it.

I wanted to if the following things were physically possible using the M8.

- Distance finder or security laser beam. By transmitting IR light and bouncing it off of a mirror and then the receiver in the phone would pick it up and determine the distance or if light has been received.

- Controlling a remote control helicopter. I could imagine this is possible since the RC heli uses IR anyway, but how would I do it, since my remote control for my heli is not functional.

Thank you in advance
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
If you know or can get the codes for your helicopter you can program them into smart ir.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lachiepower0402:
I was thinking of using Arduino, but I wasn't that desperate to do it, I was just interested if it was possible and how cool it wouldbe to do it?

Doesn't the M8 have a IR reciever to program codes into apps?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Yes if youre remote is working? :what:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lachiepower0402:
What I meant by that, was that the purpose of the IR receiver was to program codes, but was it possible to use it for other purposes such as the one I mentioned in the OP?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jxcorex28:
I've thought about it, and the possibilities. It depends a lot on how much experience you have with programming. I'm no noob when it comes to programming, as I constantly hone on my c++ programming skills. I'm actually curious about it too. You should check out evilzone.org. the website has massive resources about audrino. I myself also have a lot of audrino PDFs... If interested I can send you the gdrive link

https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B6DLHfxd4Nx-RW12SVFRMzVTREU/edit

PS....I've got a **** load of other PDFs about all kinds of programming from JavaScript to Python...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lachiepower0402:
Thanks for those PDF's but the most coding I have done is Visual Basic 2010 and bit of Xcode. But I was just hoping their was already an app on the market to do such a thing or if it was physically possible for the phone to send and receive and IR signal a few times every second.

I would love to get into coding, but I just don't have the time to code and bug fix.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jxcorex28:
I haven't seen or heard of such an app...I've never enjoyed VB...Friend of mine uses VIM, but all of that PHP crap gives me a headache.

Hello. I'm not sure if this in the right section if it isn't I'm sorry. Anyways I just recently updated my AT&T Galaxy s5 g900a to lollipop 5.0 and it sucks pretty bad, the color scheme is terrible for my eyes and its just not something I want to get used to. Is there anyway to downgrade back to kitkat on the g900a? If so can you please help, thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pre4speed:
If you updated via OTA, unfortunately no, there is no way to downgrade. If you upgraded via a method here on XDA, you should be able to ODIN back to KK. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Jathar:
Thanks, I heard that using the s5 with AT&T has a locked bootloader is that a problem or are there ways around that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pre4speed:
Yes it's locked. That's why such a pain to do things. There are workarounds, like safestrap and flashfire, but both of those are limited in what you can flash because of the locked bootloader. You'll have to look around and see what you're most comfortable with. But like I said, if you're using the latest Android version via OTA, there is no workaround that will work. Thanks AT&T

Dear All,

Your help and your comments are kindly requested in order to solve this issue which has been plaguing me for months-

My Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-9005 is in proper working condition and the battery functions fine. I have been using it for almost a year and a half now. However, I am unable to charge the phone when it is switched on and can only charge when it is switched off (grey battery indicator with charging sign flashes on screen and phone vibrates every 10 seconds). I was told that it is a problem with the USB charging port and got that replaced but the problem still persists. I have even cleared my cache and rebooted my phone, and that didn't help. I am confused whether this is a software or hardware problem. As the phone is charging when switched off I am assuming that the hardware is fine. However, I am also thinking that the hardware is screwed maybe because the phone is not able to simultaneously charge and power the device. So I was thinking if getting a wireless charging pad option will work? Any idea if this is a viable option or if there are any other options that will help? Factory reset maybe?

Looking for your help on this guys. I really don't want to replace this mobile!!

[Sprint LG G3] biggerguy_sf:
I have a stock rooted G3 running ZV8. One day last week, my rear facing camera stopped working. No warnings or anything like that beforehand, just no longer working. I get a black screen with only a back button and the last pic taken icon, but nothing else. When I try to access the camera from another camera app I get the message that the camera can't be started or is in use by another application.

The front facing camera seems to still be functional, but can only be accessed by a camera app that goes directly to it, like Camera360. I'm at a complete loss as to ideas about whether this is a software issue, or a hardware issue. If anyone else has had issues with their camera no longer working, any info you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! :o

I am having the same problem, and it just appeared out of nowhere as well... I have tried clearing the camera apps cache and data and have wiped davlick from twrp but to no avail. Going to try wiping and reinstalling the rom and will get back to you if it works.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baloushot:
Recently I got a Z Ultra with a deal with my dad. It's been fine so far, but then I ran onto a bump.

Charging seems a little "Annoying". The phone persists I use a Magnetic cable for charging, and every time I charge, whenever I unpkug the device, It shows that its still charging. Even the led is on. (Note, i just unplugged the charging cable!)

A fix which I do is plugging the magnetic cabke inverted, without being plugged to any wall adapter. But even after that, as soon as I charge, It still persists.

Is this a hardware problem? Software?

Note: it DOES charge with a regular microUSB cable... But it doesnt even fill up the battery.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ornwilson:
Is there any way to determine what is really using CPU and what is causing wakelocks? All apps that I've tried just say 'Android System" or "Android OS" and not much more.

I've searched and searched and tried many things like Better Battery Stats, freezing lots of apps with TB, Greenify, Amplify, blocking startup with System Tuner, etc. I realize that many of my customization will use more battery life, but it's frustrated having a rooted and unlocked phone and not being able to see what is actually using my battery so I can make informed decisions on what to adjust or if certain features/apps are worth the energy cost.

Here are the stats:

Verizon Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900V)

Running BajaROM Android 4.4.2

Baseband N900VVRUCNC2

Kernel 3.4.0

Screenshots, logcat, Batter Battery Stats specs, etc here: https://drive.google.com/folderview...JjT0RaX3FlWkppNDhEOVl1WktTSTc0a2s&usp=sharing

If I am missing a log, statistic or something, please let me know and I can take a new set of screenshots and logs after a day of battery drain so they are all consistent. I love this community and thank you in advance!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donc113:
The one stat I don't see is CPU high/low freq settings and what CPU governor is in use.

Programs like SetCpu (root required) or No Frills CPU monitor (root required) can give you control of how fast the cpu runs (thus power used). SetCPU also allows profiles...that trigger settings changes. For example if the screen is off set so max cpu speed is low and set the powersave governor.

I use SetCPU with 4 profiles and have far better battery life than I had before using it. Plus...much better response when I need it.

For example...on a typical day, about 4pm I would have to recharge, that was before. Now, doing the exact same stuff...it's 5pm and I have 65% battery left.

Even on a hard use day....I usually make it to 9pm without charging.
