[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProSniper54:
I got my replacement tablet and my old tablet never deactivated itself. It has no recovery installed, and it isnt rooted. A friend of mine wanted to buy it so I said sure. Problem is, I factory restored it with no recovery still. And now when I power the tablet on, i cant enter fastboot mode, and the tablet freezes every time I start it up. Ill be able to unlock it for a sec and then the screen freezes then I have to hold to power to turn it off. I just want to know why it keeps freezing and if there is any way I can fix the problem.

~Thanks ahead.

[Amazon Fire Phone] ulises.rodriguez:
As I said in my other post, it seems that with the " 35.4.6.3_user_463001620", released yesterday, Amazon has now corrected once and for all, the last Stagefright Vulnerability that existed!

http://fire-phone-updates.s3.amazon...update-fire-phone-35.4.6.3_user_463001620.bin

I am saying this because, from the 7 vulnerabilities that the "Stagefright Detector" APP was detecting before this latest update, only one was pending to correct...

Now, After this latest "463001620" update, when I check my 2 Fire Phones with the New "Stagefright Detector" APP from the Google-Play-Store, I always receive the following message:

"Your Device is Not Vulnerable"!*

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zimperium.stagefrightdetector

As I also mentioned before, although none have mentioned the excellent news on the web, this really makes the Amazon Fire Phone, may be the "First and Only" cellphone that has corrected all the Stagefright vulnerabilities So Fast!!!

So I would like to Thanks Amazon for the Fast and Excellent Technical Support!!

Let's hope that Amazon will also release the New FireOS-5 for the Fire Phone possibly before December 2015!!

[HTC One X] Fro_Oyo:
Hi everyone, I searched for a solution for my problem for a very long time, but found nothing. HOX has many issues with gsm network or signal, but mine HOX has a very strange issue with network mode switching. For example, I'm on 3G now and I set the WCDMA prefered in *#*#4636#*#* menu. When 3G becomes unavailable, HOX tries to switch to 2G network. But instead of switching to 2G, I get "No Sim card" icon and after ~30 second network icon disappears. I have to reboot the phone to recover the network. I made some tests and found, that this is not the hardware fault. I tried to change the radio RIL to any available and there is no difference. For now I don't know what to do, what else can I do... I will really appreciate any suggestions.;)

I can record a video to get things more understandable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jrdnthms:
Hi,

I have a S6 that won't stop resetting and won't connect to the network.

It started about 4 weeks ago when I restarted my phone. It wouldn't connect to the network and every 2 min 5 sec it would reset on its own. I would also get an error message that a process has stopped working whenever I tried to use a system app or shut down the phone normally. This event has happened 6 times now.

Today I went and got a new SIM card to try and see if that was the problem. About 4 min after the new card was put in I tried to replicate the problem for VZW. It happened and in order to get it fixed I had to leave the phone powered down for 5 mins.

I tried resetting the phone when I got home because I lost my 3rd party apps when I tried to disable them and see if that would fix it. No I still don't have the apps back but they are still installed, this is a problem for later.

Right now it has been about 90 mins since I lost my network and letting the phone rest for 30 mins or longer I still can't seem to get it back and the phone resets every 1 min 5 sec.

Any suggestions?

[Asus Transformer TF701] barthdu09:
Hello !

Recently, starting some applications (mainly Clash of Clans, but also Sygic...) make my TF701T crash !

In the case of Clash of Clans, it show the loading screen for around 1-2 sec, then reboot

I already had this problem few weeks ago, then it randomly disappeared, and it went back this week !

I tried :

- auto time/date

- delete datas from CoC

- uninstall/reinstall

- disconnect from Google Play account

- updated GPlay

In the case of Sygic, the app won't start and the tab reboot immediatly

My rom is 4.4.2

Kernel : 3.4.99-cyanogenmod+

Build number : KOT49H.WW_epad-11.4.1.17-20140711

I got my rom on this website, don't remember exactly what version, but I should be on the Kernel info ?

So, I hope you'll find a solution :)

Thanks !
[Asus Transformer TF701] stlaha2007:
Sygic seems to have the same problem with my Android devices TF701t and Sony Xperia Z2.

Sygic runs, with some random stops, better on Xperia but can and will run on TF701T. Only when driving on a route to destination it crashed.

Can't debug, send it for repair (battery won't charge).

My sony also has ome other apps like NU.nl (dutch newssite) that randomly crashes mainly when browsing the news and loading ads. Havong this issue exactly on TF701t and seen thos on former TF201, so i can conclude it's APP-related, not device (different Android versions) related.

If all is updated (mentiond reinstalled), did you clear the app's cache itself before removing?

Debug the specific apps by deletingvthe specific App-cache and saved data first!

Resolved some issues also with my crashing apps.

Had no desire to root my note 4, and have no desire to root the 5. Besides for some bloat (that can mostly be disabled), I don't see a need for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Aridon:
I won't buy a phone that cant' be rooted. I refuse to go back to having ads on the internet and deal with the samsung bloat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] malickie:
Root, at least for the latest Generation of phones, in my personal opinion is a bit over rated. The phones run quite nicely, granted not the biggest fan of seeing Ads and the phones bloatware which I would love to strip out so I could recover some space. Still not the biggest deal breaker considering how well it works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] wase4711:
so, if your ATT was able to be rooted, are you saying you would not root it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] martinezma99:
Package Disabler Pro app on Play Store will allow you to disable most apps and services.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] 17akota:
Disabling the apps isn't the same as actually deleteing them. We all know that with root, when you debloat, the phone runs even smoother, more freed RAM and faster start ups. I hate not having root. I can live without an unlocked bootloader and having custom Kernels and ROMs but root is a need for me. I have so many root apps, xposed is always nice, Lucky Patcher is fun to have, DPI change is amazing for these big, high PPI displays and the main reason, debloat.

I'm sure the devs will figure something out. I have faith in them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] zylith:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] rsohne:
Android is becoming the same as the iPhone cat and mouse game. People are afraid and want more secure phones so carriers are locking stuff down. I'm all for unlocked devices, in fact I still have my Nexus 6 also but I can only imagine how many devices a carrier or manufacturer get returned because someone that doesn't know what they are doing is returned. We see it all day long on xda. Get a Nexus and swap between a locked phone when you want stable. If you feel like messing around hack your Nexus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] seh6183:
"Android" is becoming like Apple? Google/Android does nothing to lock down the phones. That is the manufactuers and more importantly carriers that request it. You want someone to blame for this? Blame AT&T. Even Samsung phones with Knox are rootable out of the box, it just throws a permanent flag so that they know if you try to warranty it. The carriers are to blame for the phones being locked down and no one else.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] ProStreetCamaro:
Some people need root like myself. I use att enhanced push to talk which is not supported on this phone or my nexus 6 for that matter but it activates and works great with a simple change in the build.prop. Looks like if I want a note 5 I will have to outright buy a tmobile or international version which sucks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] guardianali:
Rooting has this wrong misconception. Removing bloat is just ONE use of root.

Making true backups of apps AND their data and restoring them via titanium backup is another.

Using Xposed to add new or useful functionality is another.

Changing the look of the UI is another.

Fixing issues like GPS lock speed, and other troubleshooting items is another...etc..etc..

I dont care about unlocked bootloaders. I dont use custom roms. But ROOT..is a must.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] garyd9:
I tend to agree with this. In the past, If I've used custom firmware on a device, it was closely based on whatever was stock. (There have been exceptions, but they are the minority.) However, I've used root for things like adjusting the screen density, adding a 'hosts' file, fixing wifi issues, and doing a bit of smali edits to fix little issues in the stock firmware. Since xposed came around, I haven't even needed to do smali edits - I could usually do whatever I needed with a quick xposed module. 95% of the time, those were to fix bugs that the manufacturer didn't seem to care about.

With my most recent device, a nexus 6, I only had 2 changes to the system partition: density set to 500 (instead of 560) and a hosts file. That was all I needed for that device. (Of course, a nexus device doesn't have all the odd toys that Samsung and LG pile into their phones.)

If I had root on this device? Well, the screen density would go to 500 instead of 560. (The actual density is closer to 500...) I'd make use of someone else's fine work to add multi-window capability to some other programs. My normal hosts file, of course, and I'd probably use xposed to mess with "action memos" and change one of the "link to action" options to send the text to google keep.

<rant>

It annoys me that samsung has decent "writing to text" code in there, but doesn't seem to have any option for converting memos to textual notes. I might write them by hand, but quite often I want to STORE them as text. Then I want to SHARE them (as text!) with my wife, or access them via a web browser, etc. (Yes, I know I can start a "keep" note and "write" it instead of using the keypad, but I want to use the functionality with the screen off memo thing.)

Oddly, I thought that samsung, at one time in a past Note device (original note or note2), had the ability to convert s-note memos to text...</rant>
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] garyd9:
I couldn't take it anymore. I'm leaving you.

I just ordered a n920i (international note 5.) I'll only have 32GB of storage (compared to the 64GB I have on this AT&T Note5), but I lived for a year with only 32GB on a nexus 6 and survived (with root.)

Actually, I'll be living Thursday night with no phone at all (as the amazon order won't show up until Friday.)

Take care

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] wase4711:
understandable, and thanks to you too for helping the shrine hospitals! :good::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] WizeGuyDezignz:
I don't think it's a wrong misconception at all. The truth is that most people who root mostly use it for debloating and some other basics. Sure, there is a small percentage like you that go much deeper than that, but it's not the majority.

The biggest misconception on xda imo is the number of people who actually root their devices. And this misconception has people hating carriers, starting (useless) petitions, etc. Somehow they believe they are in some sort of majority when in reality they are in a tiny minority.

The reason why carriers are locking bootloaders and showing a bigger concern about security sort of proves the root misconception. The amount of people who actually want to do this stuff is a small drop in the bucket to their overall user base. They aren't going to go backwards at this point no matter how much we hate it or how many petitions we start.

Some things like changing the UI are already being addressed by manufacturers. The Samsung theme store is awesome and I don't miss amateur custom themes from my rooted devices at all.

So yes, there are many functions of root. But most people don't use them. We are in a small minority whether we like it or not.

l Want to root so I can add more apps to multi window and get rid of bloat ware and ad block which is why I will trade this phone when the new nexus come out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] linuxboxsolution:
All Samsung phones for now on will not run properly once rooted. They have tiedknox into Samsung Pay so if rooted Samsung pay is no longer usable on that device. Its not the carriers locking down Samsung phones it Samsung themselves. You must understand Samsung phones are the only military approved phones Specifically because of Knox Software. They are locking the phones down for Security especially now that you will have you Credit Cards on your phone. If you ever plan on using Andrpid Pay I wouldnt root the device either to many more security holes open up for potential attack.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] garyd9:
Your statements are jumping to inaccurate conclusions.

Samsung phones, rooted, work fine. It's KNOX being tripped that blocks Samsung Pay. (Demonstrated by folks who have tripped KNOX, and reverted to non-rooted factory firmware.)

Regardless of Samsung Pay working or being available, the rest of the firmware is fine. In fact, outside of S. Korea and 3 of the big 4 US carriers, Samsung Pay isn't available regardless of KNOX and/or root status. (Verizon gets the worst deal: the bootloader is locked down AND samsung pay isn't available.)

You state that Samsung is locking down the phone and not the carriers. However, in the US, Sprint and T-Mobile Note 5's aren't locked down. Outside the US, the majority of Note 5 devices are NOT locked. In fact, as far as I'm aware, the ONLY current generation samsung phones being sold with locked bootloaders are those being sold exclusively by specific carriers (such as AT&T and Verizon.)

As for military use, Samsung devices are not the only phones approved for military use (Apple is as well) and it has nothing to do with if a bootloader is locked or unlocked.. the t-mobile/sprint devices are also approved for military use and, as mentioned earlier, have unlocked bootloaders. (Once you trip KNOX, however, it's no longer approved milspec. The most common way to trip KNOX is via the UNlocked bootloader.)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jaistah:
most people are ignorant of the benefits in rooting. They think if they root everything will be magically solve. well it takes alot of trial and error to enjoy a rooted phone, debloat won't fix a battery drain issue, proper tweaking does, most people prefer stock when a custom kernel is already available that fixes most issues. the majority of users who root don't spend time whining about simple stock issues in forums because they know wtf they are doing, the minority who don't prefers to wait for an update fix.

The no root, no SD card, no removable battery(not to much)... Stopped me from upgrading from my note 2 to the note 5... I used my upgrade to get the Note 4, on promo for $0...

The Note 5 will go down as the greatest phone I've ever had. It has taken over the Galaxy S2 in terms of my all time favorites. Samsung took away a lot of features in this phone and for some reason, I think it was for the best as this phone is solid.

As for root, I do wish it had it, but it does not need it. Last night was the perfect example. I purchased a new SSD and did not have a Windows boot disc. So I used my wife's old HTC One to download Drivedroid and sideload and image of Linux. From there I was able to download an ISO image of Windows 7, burn it to a DVD and then reload Windows, eventually upgrading back to W10. None of this would have been possible without root. So there always some use for it.
