[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incnis Mrsi:
Recently I lost some (relatively) short amount of text in a UI glitch of some app. Do not know its exact name and where did this piece of crap come from, but it has android.permission.READ_NOTEBOOK and android.permission.WRITE_NOTEBOOK permissions, that suggests it stored my texts in Android’s internal storage. The glitchy app is still running, but the device currently isn’t rooted (yes, I’m miserable and clumsy, but that’s the fact).

Which are prospective directions searching for small amount of data in the system memory of an (unrooted) device? Switch the device off, dismantle it, and search in the flash memory? Or install the rootkit software, reboot, and also search in the flash memory? Or first try to break into memory space of the running process? Or some else action on it?

Any help and/or links to tutorials are appreciated. I’m utterly not an advanced Android user, but have sufficient skills locating and extracting various data from memory dumps, so this part would not pose a great obstacle for me.

If one is interested in helping me with specific problem, then

the device is Explay sQuad 7.82 3G

the OS is Android 4.2.2 kernel 3.4.5 (the one supplied by manufacturer)

It should work. However you must be on rooted lollipop to install that rom. I am running it on my G900A and my G900T and it is a great rom. It is compatible with the active also. Maybe just post in that thread to make sure it's compatible with the Canadian version.

so i wanted to update my xt1034 to cm 12.1 but it failed. so i flashed the stock firmware i didnt pay attention that it was for asia. i had a backup and restored it with twrp, but now the date and time were august 15 1970 and time 7:00pm. also the sim card is not working and pics and music is deleted after i change the date and time. i am guessing this has something to do with the asia firmware i flashed? so i am currently downloading the correct firmware for my canadian moto g purchased from wind mobile. after flashing this firmware and if i restore my backup would it work? (i also tried factory data reseting after the backup didnt work and stilll the same errors) its not allowing me to download the stock firmware from filefactory. can someone please download the file and upload it to a drive or dropbox acc and link it to me? here is the link to the firmware i need http://www.filefactory.com/file/jd1...4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.41_37_cid14_CFC_1FF.xml.zip please help me out

[Galaxy Note5 General] owenbeals:
I have to say that I was pretty hyped about this device while watching the unpacked event. Then again I am always stoked when new devices are announced and released I am just a tech nerd I guess. I am not hating on this device. In fact I have already pre-ordered mine, and at full price so I can keep my Verizon unlimited data however there are several flaws present in this device. These flaws are especially true if you are upgrading from a device like the Galaxy S5 or Note 4.

[YOUTUBE]K-HK1iNW5yk[/YOUTUBE]

What do you guys think? Are these flaws enough to keep you away from the Note 5? I mean it still has plenty going for it. Revamped premium design, great screen, great camera, SPEN, Samsung Pay, wireless fast charging and the list goes on and on.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Kaboose666:
Coming from an LG G2, it's a clear upgrade across the board. I dont even fill up my current 32GB so the 64GB note 5 I have preordered should be more than enough space.
[Galaxy Note5 General] hypersonicx:
Im upgrading from my 64 GB S6 Edge to the Note 5 just because I like to be on the cutting edge as for CPU and SOC and Camera.

I find it very very very funny that allot of my co workers and friends are UPGRADING to the Note 4 or Note 4 Edge even though the Note 5 is coming out in a couple days lol.

Even though I like Note 5 for the Camera and CPU and GPU and the Glass on Glass construction, I have to admit, Samsung Failed.......
[Galaxy Note5 General] lightiv:
It is a great video and those are not a deterrence to me coming from a S4. Hopefully I will get to see his next video on why to get the Note 5. At this point I might consider the Note 4 just to save money. Either one is a big upgrade for me. :o
[Galaxy Note5 General] Slie:
Why is everyone complaining. The note 5 is not an upgrade. They literally took the note 4 and rewrapped it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Rippley05:
Honestly. People say that a lot..but it's wrong. It has most of the Note features that were on the 3 and 4, but the software is completely different. It's more like the s6.

Hardware is completely different too. It has the s6 hardware with more ram. I'm not sure why people think it's just a note 4 in a new body. It's far from that.

Not saying there isn't a level of disappointment. .there definitely is, only for different reasons. If I was coming from the Note 4 straight to the 5 without a 4 month pit stop on the s6, I'd be stoked. Problem is, I have the s6 and this is basically that with the spen features added. The Note line used to be a bigger upgrade over the previous S version. This year it's not.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rsohne:
Let me get this straight. Rootjunky does a 4 minute video of what he believes are flaws for the Note 5 and then pre-orders one anyway?
[Galaxy Note5 General] oilfighter:
Well, the guy has to get his hands on the phone to do a review right?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Dr. Evo:
That's what you call a classic sheep! It's quite pathetic really.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rsohne:
Maybe the trend has changed and the Galaxy S series is the phone to get the newest changes first. Seems to me with the S6 Samsung threw it against the wall and it stuck. It sold lots of phones and maybe for the more mainstream users the Note 5 will sell a ton. I think Samsung Note line was getting stale and needed an update. Heck if Samsung wasn't trying all this weird stuff with devices who knows where the smartphone market would be.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rsohne:
I am hardly a sheep. Vote with your wallet and Samsung will get the message. The way I see it the new S6 design sold well so they figured they could capitalize on it with the Note 5. If they don't sell many the Note 6 may be different. If you don't like it buy another device this round. Seems that SD card slots and spare batteries are gonna be a thing of the past whether we like it or not.

By the way no disrespect to Rootjunky. He is great for the community but at this point everything is speculation.
[Galaxy Note5 General] alex9898:
As far as we know, the S6 doesn't meet the expectations of Samsung in terms of sales.

I think, the Note 5 we are seeing is simply the result of decisions take a moment ago , regardless of the sales of S6.
[Galaxy Note5 General] robertopod1968:
I don't think there was anyway Samsung was going to keep increasing market share in the Android world. Probably why they have toyed around with Tizen. The flood of cheap phones from so many manufacturers was bound to happen with an open ecosystem. I think they figured that out a long time ago. They want to be the premium android manufacturer and not play in the low price war. They were probably smart and would have lost more market share if they had kept producing plastic, me too kind of devices. That's also the same reason they've always pushed all their special features (or bloat) Try to get you locked into something like Apple does. It just doesn't work unless the operating system is locked down and you control it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] owenbeals:
DroidModderX did the video LOL and yes I did pre-order the device and it arrives Tuesday. I think this device will be great, but i believe it is my job to weigh the pros and the cons of these devices.
[Galaxy Note5 General] godutch:
I only have 3 major flaws but they are all deal breakers:

-no IR

-no 128GB

-Not available in the Netherlands

Other disappointments:

-small and non removable battery

-fragile build materials

-same processor as s6

-same camera as s6
[Galaxy Note5 General] Hamidd:
The 2 main flaws I can think of, are the lack of mircoSD card and the IR blaster.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Kaboose666:
well the MicroSD is just the trade off for going with UFS 2.0. The memory controller doesn't natively support SDcards, so in order to have an SD card slot the phone would have to use eMMC 5.0/5.1 memory controller (which also supports SDcards), or add in a 2nd memory controller just to control the microSD slot. Which is a lot of PCB and headache just for a microSD slot, and i'm not sure if the Exynos 7420 would even allow you to use 2 different memory controllers at once, so i'm not even sure if you COULD just throw in another memory controller, even if you found space for it.

Basically, UFS 2.0 as the memory controller currently stands just doesn't support microSD, the next iteration of the UFS controller could potentially add microsd support, but I wouldnt count on it either.

As for the IR blaster, likely a space issue, but only samsung would know on that one.
[Galaxy Note5 General] atuarre:
You do know that the S6 edge has the exact same cpu and camera, right? The only thing thats upgraded is the memory. You were already on cutting edge.
[Galaxy Note5 General] lisbon2004:
So what?

anyone can buy an a mediocre product. The thing is, it will disappoint and will no longer make you happy every day like the its predecessors did. Especially if it is grossly overpriced.

yes, for the majority of us, it would be insane to buy galaxy note 5, especially for its price.

but some people could, it's their choice.

i, personally, will vote with my wallet, and will advice AGAINST buying samsung products in my community.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rsohne:
Thanks for the correction. I don't know why I confuse those guys.
[Galaxy Note5 General] papi92:
Thanks Rootz. All appreciate your work. Let's hope DroidModder gets one too
[Galaxy Note5 General] hypersonicx:
Actually the Note 5 and S6 Edge does have same SOC and Camera, BUT the Note 5 has 4GB Ram VS the 3GB Ram on the S6.

I hope the extra ram will play role in better ram management.

As powerful as the SOC is, my S6E still manages to bog down to very slow performance when under heavy load or multitasking.

Not to mention the larger screen with the camera of the S6 is also a great combination.

Only drawback I really dont like is the lack of IR blaster. I use my edge to volume controle and input control my TV and AV System as a smart remote.

Cant wait for my Note 5 to arrive. S6E will go on Craigslist soon as it arrives.
[Galaxy Note5 General] owenbeals:
Agreed my s6e slows down and needs a reboot often
[Galaxy Note5 General] mi7chy:
Video is click bait. Except for maybe IR the rest are not flaws but trade offs.

Having owned the Note series since the Note II I'd take larger, faster and reliable internal storage over SD anyday since SD doesn't fully support app installation and I've had Sandisk SD cards prematurely die.

Don't care for custom ROM anymore since there's always something fundamental like in-browser video playback that doesn't work compared to stock ROM where everything just works and is stable easily getting 2000+ hours uptime.

With the trend towards wireless for WIFI data transfer and charging there's no benefit to USB-C but the big drawback is having to toss out your existing cables, wall charger and car charger and/or carry adapters.

You can't judge battery life on battery size alone. Moto G has a typical battery size but it has outrageous 10 hr SoT or 19 day idle. Feedback trickling out on the Note 5's battery life proves this point.

IR I've never used and prefer WIFI based devices like Chromecast but can see the benefit for those who do use it. I just think it's dinosaur technology with limited range and usually requires line of sight. Much like the CD-ROM in laptops I'm not going to miss it.

[Galaxy Note5 General] leewayne:
Why should I run to the store for this phone if my N4 still works fine?
[Galaxy Note5 General] bonerp:
that's to handle the Samsung bloat more effectively. TW is a dog and lag is present in the note 4. The extra ram is a correction caused by another process from what I can see.

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 AM ----------

I'm not - even being from the UK (and it not being sold here...wtf), if this had the key note features I'd have imported it.

However lack of support from Samsung (wheres my stagefright fix?), lack of SD slot, inability to change battery ....(what are you going to do when out for the day and your battery is dead by lunchtime due to taking lots of snaps etc? Lug a heavy power bank or ridiculously large battery case - or get a phone where you can slip a small replacement battery in your pocket and not worry?)

True story - was on the train a week ago and my daughters iphone died, chap opposite grumbled as his had died earlier, then within minutes my note 4 died. Pulled the spare battery, swapped them over for a fresh one and chuckled at them both as I carried on using my phone!

.....Add to that a battery smaller than my note 4 (I don't care how optimised Samsung say they have made this device, turn the brightness to anything reasonable and it'll die quicker than a fish out of water) lack of IR blaster and so many other things, its just a huge disappointment.

The note 4 is so much better for heavy users.

I can wait til the LG G4 Pro is released.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rushless:
If they value the extra storage for less cost, battery options, IR blaster and non crack magnet build- seems a good choice :)

If on the other hand they do not, you could be correct- maybe. My coworkers and friends with Notes are apparently not getting the Note 5. A few are getting iPhone 6 Plus, but only because they

are getting discounted phones and using also as enterprise devices for work. Android is not approved here for enterprise- only iPhone. Our IT likes staying in the box- that and do not want to spend

more money adopting to Android with apps, email, IM and ERP systems :) ;) That adds cost for development and support.
[Galaxy Note5 General] SaschaHa:
The Note 5 is like an "Note 4 Lite". Why? Here are my reasons:

1. No MicroSD-Slot. What the hell?

2. No IR (that was a great feature)

3. Non-removable battery with less capacity

What is equal?

1. Same camera sensor (only with a better lens for low light)

2. Same display resolution

3. some more

What is improved?

1. better lens for low-light (doesn't matter on non low-light situations)

2. better front-camera (5 instead of 3,7 Mpx)

3. 4GB ram instead of 3GB

4. improved graphics and cpu peformance

5. software

And what is new?

Tell me, if there is something new in hardware. I only see some improvements but nothing, that was not existing before.

For me it is the worse device as I need a MicroSD card for saving pics, music and videos, I don't want a non-removable battery and I still want IR.

[Galaxy Note5 General] Delakit:
I watched the entire video and heard the term "flaw" quite a bit, but then no mention of an actual flaw. All I heard was dissatisfaction with how the device was built versus a users own personal requirements.

I have to recharge my phone in the middle of the day regardless of a removable battery. I pop in the one that's charged, and start charging the other that was drained. Could use wireless charging systems in your vehicle, office, nightstand.

I wouldn't dare let my device get near water even if it was "waterproof." Simple solution to the absence of waterproof.

Micro USB is a flaw? That's just silly.

No IR blaster? Keep better track of your remotes. Control your urge to change the channels and turn off the TV's at Buffalo Wild Wings.

ROMS? No comment.

Regardless of anything, I pre-ordered the device at full retail. Even though I was pissed off about the non-removable battery, no MSD card slot, 64gb variant being the largest, limit of colors, smaller battery, and expectations that were completely left out of the N5 (i.e. 4K Display, better processor rumor, etc...).

Not that my opinion matters, it looks to be a pretty cool device.

Don't like the device? Don't buy it. There are plenty of other similar phones on the market.
[Galaxy Note5 General] SaschaHa:
Yeah I forgot it, thanks. Fingerprint is much better on Note 5, but still exist on Note 4. And Samsung Pay may be software related and may be ported to Note 4 and some other devices I think.

If I wouldn't have a Note 4 yet and I had to buy a new Phone, I don't know if I would buy the Note 5 or the Note 4 (for less money). I really don't understand why Samsung decided to kill MicroSD, removable battery and IR. Especially MicroSD was one of the big advantages of Samsung phones. Now we got less for more money.

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

I've expected the Note 5 (and S6) to also have a MicroSD slot, to have a removable (and increased) battery, to still have the IR blaster and to feature USB 3.x with USB-C. The non removable battery would be ok, if the battery would be inscreased, but it has been decreased instead. No MicroSD slot would be ok, if there would be an 128 GB variant (without paying 30+ percent more for this version), but this version has been killed too or will be extremly expensive.

Now I'm very tired of Samsung phones. The hardware is still great, but they loose some great features now and the support of Samsung (especially with software updates) is awful.

[Galaxy Note5 General] TechBSwift:
Thank you for putting that together. Most will think it's over kill but people have to understand the only way any big corporation will listen to consumers is if they feel it in their pockets. I personally have sold at least 300 of Samsung devices over the years, most of the customers were previous iPhone users, and no I never worked for a cell phone provider. I loved Samsung for being so different and offering features that I felt obligated to spread the good word. I'm using a Samsung device now, but thinking about switching and the note edge was my favorite phone of all time...
