do you not trust xda people......just look at who posted it. if the poster is not a repected member then don't trust it.

if you are a member here for a while we all know who puts the good stuff out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hiimcliff:
no thats exactly my point... people trust xda developers. especially if the person is a trusted member. all they would have to do is post the md5 hash and if they get it from another source such as searching rapidshare they would know if it is authentic or not.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] schaps:
My ROMs are packaged in self-extracting executables which automatically checks if this is the authentic archive and if it hasn't been corrupted, so I don't think that we need to post an MD5 hash.

If you have some worries, download only from links posted by their author or mirrors posted by trusted people.

Yea, but the question is;

Hello!

About a month ago I ordered an Honor 4x. It seemed to be taking a while to come so I checked back and realized I had ordered from another seller (rather than Amazon directly, damn.). Turns out it was gonna take a few weeks to come, so as my girlfriend fancied a new phone (but not quite as desperately as me), she said she'd have that one when it finally arrived. I then ordered another Honor 4x direct from Amazon on prime and this one took less than 24 hours to arrive.

I have had mine for a couple of weeks, and it's been pretty great on the whole. Finally the other one turned up, but it has come with a load of bloaty chinese apps on it that seem to like popping up and don't want to be removed the simple way. So, I basically want to make the chinese one the same as the european one, but not sure how easy it is?

The european one appears to be model Che2-L11 and the other one is Che2-UL00. I don't mind a bit of hard work, but after a good bit of googling I'm feeling very confused by all the mixed information on this phone (seems to be because there's so many different models...).

Would there be an easy way just to copy OS from my current phone to the other one, or is that wishful thinking? Everything in the 'about this phone' appears to be the same, except the slight variation in model number. Would appreciate any opinions on this, as I'm certainly a bit of a noob!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HansPeter2:
Only 2G/EDGE after teardown

Hello,

yesterday i fixed the broken screen of my Nexus 5 (European version).

Today i noticed that only EDGE is working and that i dont recieve 3G.

My dataplan doesnt support LTE so i cant check the LTE connectivity.

I double checked the coax antenna cables and they fit well.

How can i determine which part was damaged? Or are there any suggestion what could be wrong?

kind regards
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HansPeter2:
Today i noticed the HSPDA Symbol at the train station.

It seems to me that the overall signal is very weak.

I ordered a new antenna cable and hope that it will fix the problem.

Are there any suggestion what could disturb the overal signal strength?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bouncynemoss:
To those with a Note 5 already, how's the RAM management.

Can't get one in Canada until the 21st, just wondering if the Note 5 is a smart buy.

Here's a video of the LG G4 smoking the Samsung Note 5 in memory management. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6QSffa9dys

The Note 5 opens the apps incredibly fast even with reloading though.

I've seen posts here and there that make it sound promising but the video above scares me a little.

Anyhow what are your experiences?

How many apps (and which) can you open and swap between without them reloading.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faaaaq:
You already saw my posts but I will re-state here so others can see as well.

I do not have the issues that video illustrates. I can run Chrome, Fallout Shelter, Poweramp, Play Store, Trillian, Amazon App Store, 1Weather, Google Plus, Whisper, Gmail, Battery Widget Reborn, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Z Launcher, the stock launcher, a number of settings windows, and plenty more, and not have any of them need to reload when switching between them (which is good, because Fallout Shelter is up to 500megs of RAM usage...). With all of that running, I still have 1.1gigs of free RAM (333megs in reality, as 800ish megs of that 1.1gigs is for cached processes). I don't yet have much else installed, but it seems pretty clear to me that this is not a universal issue, and even if it were, it can easily be resolved by an update from Sammy, or a custom rom/kernel down the line.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daftlush:
My note kills apps like crazy. Certain apps i know for sure as soon as i hit home the app gets killed. but if i jumped to another app through recents, then the app would at least stay alive for a while.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmarGoodness:
Got a a new Verizon GS5 and it is running BOC4 stock. I would like to root and haven't taken any OTA's. Do I have to downgrade to NCG in order to root or can I just root from BOC4 with towelroot and install SuperSU? Thanks in advance
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamCroz99:
You have to downgrade to NCG
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quigly:
The Easy Way.....

Step 1) Download the NCG KK stock rom for the SM-G900V here

Step 2) Unzip it and load the tar.md5 file into Odin via the 'AP' button.

Step 3) Put the phone into download mode and flash the stock rom.

Step 4) Place View attachment 3453830 in phone's internal memory, install, and click "make it rain". (shoutout to [MENTION=3280118]geohot[/MENTION] for galaxy s5 [and more] root achievment!!)

Step 5) Update the SuperSu Binaries and you should be good to go. From there you can install Busybox and then View attachment 3453833.

Well from what i know and we all know Samsung has told us that we will recieve lollipop in May. After that,1month +.And so on. We're almost in september and no lollipop update. On their site it says it's delayed. I don't know why because GpVE recieved lollipop in all countries so it's not a problem. I at least hope that they cancel it and i can be sure having no regrets rooting the phone and flashing a rom. Please post any news you find. Thanks a lot:o

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratbastrd:
After endless hours of researching various threads, on stack overflow and others, I think I have found the problem with the recent spate of bricked Nexus 7's.

It appears that something is corrupting partitions, what/why I don't know. However, the fix is fairly straightforward once you can get the device connected to your pc.

First off I updated my Android SDK and ADB drivers.

I then used the driver inspector element of WugNRT to identify and delete all previous instances of an Android USB device, this forced the install of the new ADB driver as soon as I attached the Nexus 7 in bootloader mode. Note, if possible, attach device to PC using original USB cable (this seems to solve a lot of problems).

Once I confirmed that the device was recognized using fastboot devices, I locked and then unlocked the bootloader, which apparently resets the device to factory state and cures some corrupted partition issues. This clearly did something as most of the error messages I was receiving disappeared.

I then formatted cache, system, user data, again to clear up any corrupted partitions

at this point, I updated NRT and forced NRT to download and install the factory image, using the soft-bricked options.

WIN!

FYI, the device took quite a while to reboot, the warning to be patient is valid, give the device at least 20 minutes. Make sure to unplug device from PC after NRT has done its magic. Cycle power if needed.

Hope this helps!
[Xperia Z General] jms_209:
I know the battery life is already pretty bad, but what are your experiences with battery life and bluetooth.

I will keep it in my pocket connected to bluetooth headset, without using the phone much.

Is the battery drain fast or is it slower?

In your estimation how much battery life do you get with bluetooth on listening to music.
[Xperia Z General] Pyramid Head:
it will drain faster obviously but there is nothing to worry about. For example i lose around 10 percent after 2 hours of music with a wired headset
[Xperia Z General] jms_209:
I feel like the cover is going to break off, since putting in my pocket is not as easy as I would like.

It's always in the way and never flush, I'm using an L shaped cable.

I need maybe 5 hours max of music.

2 hours on bus to school, 2 hours back.

I can always have it charged while at school.

Should be able to get enough.
[Xperia Z General] langeveld024:
Everything you turn on will drain battery, but my phone is every day the whole day in my pocket, while connected to Bluetooth hands free in car and connected to TomTom navi using Bluetooth tether (for getting real-time traffic info on my data connection) and I'm pretty satisfied with battery life.

At the and of a whole day ive got still left 70%.

[Q] Stuck in download mode or Samsung Logo

The note was working fine, the battery was empty... then I re-charged it and tried to open it again and it didn't open since! It stuck on Samsung Logo, I tried to get the recovery mode, but couldn't (stuck again on Samsung logo)... Then tried the Download mode and it worked... I got Heimdall and Odin and tried to restore the original stock firmware (4.4.2) or even TWRP for recovery and both didn't work.

I used Odin 3.0.7 and Odin 3.10. I was on Stock Firmware (4.4.2) but rooted.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BulldozerAMD:
There is no way to fix it. NAND is dead

Only way is change its motherboard.

It happened with me 2 months ago.

I tried to repartition, install stock rom via Odin

It didn't work, I take my note 10.1 to service center

They said They need to change my motherboard

Then I buy a Nexus 9.

Good Experience bro!!!

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] oilfighter:
which skin has the most grip?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] spinkick:
And cover up that beautiful glass? Maybe after I shatter it ;P
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] MrAwesome75:
I somewhat agree. However, the glass is so slimy, finger-printy and slippery I think I will cover the back with a skin of some sort even though it's beautiful.

I got the black phone, so I was thinking of a white leather dBrand.

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

I have heard from people with the Note 4 that the matte skins were the most grippy. I have no personal experience, though.

Sent from my SM-N920T
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] spinkick:
Yeah, I get what you are saying, that slimy feeling sucks, along with the phone being warm, its kind of gross :P
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] MrAwesome75:
Reminds me of the GS3 with the smooth plastic. I think covering the beautiful glass is outweighed by the feel and the increased grip you get with a skin. I don't plan on skinning any other part of the phone; just the back. No other skin, no case because it's so beautiful.

Sent from my SM-N920T
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] LaRosa217:
I normally don't skin or put cases on my phone, but this phone is super slick in hand, especially when my hands are sweaty. I want at least a little bit of added grip from the skin so I'm not as likely to drop it.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] jackdforme:
I think we are all thinking the same thing here. Don't ruin this with a case, don't make it huge, don't even protect it. Just grip. To that end, which has more grip and does anyone know of a clear skin for the rear that just adds grip?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] clintonroche:
I got the Blue skin on order :)

I get MY blue note 5... well the back anyhow
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Willyman:
Orderered. Delivery time... 3-6 weeks. ? Will probably put a case around it during that time. The back is just too slippery in this humid weather.

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Johny_dragon:
yo this: https://slickwraps.com/carbon-series-wraps-skins-for-samsung-galaxy-note-5.html better than dbrand
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] unvaluablespace:
Clarify?

Any reason why its better? Personally Dbrand's carbon fiber feels better, with more depth. But maybe thats just me.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Johny_dragon:
Oh they have a whole set for your note 5, go to the web and see the differences, they have more colors
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] eep02b:
More colors doesn't mean better quality. I've tried both dBrand and slick wraps and keep coming back to dBrand. Their skins are so much better. The material is better quality, the skins are cut better. It's a better product to me. Yes they may not have purple carbon fiber, but really.... Do you want purple carbon fiber?? Lol
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] saranwrap:
They get their wraps from the same source so everyone is delusional thinking one has a clear advantage aside from value for deliverables. If you want back only skins get a dbrand, if you want full everything get the slickwraps it's better value. Both companies can make mistakes during the cutting process so don't listen to either one's marketing schemes.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Johny_dragon:
oh really man? I just bought this note 5 and I just order a set from slick wrap, I google: skin for note 5 and sklick wraps pop up, is slick wrap really bad? I Ordered!!!!!
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] eep02b:
I'm a firm believer of forming your own opinions. I actually have ordered from both companies multiple times, and for me, dBrand wins hands down every time. Slick Wraps aren't bad, just not as good as dBrand to me. There is a reason they only sell front/back skins and not side frame pieces...
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] PrsnlCrcl:
I also noticed that Skinomi offers similar options...can anyone provide feedback on how they compare to dbrand or slickwraps? I am just wondering since it looks like the skinomi options are available now. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Johny_dragon:
yeah I want to buy the skin for my laptop too, that's why i need to know which one is better thanks man

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] BryZantium:
JUST got mines in today; ordered it on the first day it went on sale. I settled with the leather back; no front skin. This is the first time I've used dBrand and I am impressed with the way it turned out on my Note 5.

More importantly, no more slippery glass! :good:

I compared notes 4-5, the other day, and honestly not worth the jump. It has all the note 4 has with its improvement over the front facing camera, glasses a bit 'the same base, click on the S Pen is great but not worth the jump. you already have a score of 4, just wait note 6 guess.

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Willyman:
I have ordered a Dbrand skin, but it's not arrived yet.

2 questions for previous users of this kind of skin:

(1) How easy are they to remove?

(2) Can they damage the metal/glass of the phone when removed?

I just have a sneaking suspicion I will want to remove it and go back to the standard glass back at some point in time...
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tonystarks260:
They're easy to remove, you may just want to heat up the surface slightly to soften the adhesive so you dont warp the skin when you're pulling it off. I've reused Dbrand skins multiple times without any issue. I wouldnt worry about any damage to the phone either.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Willyman:
That is very good to know, cheers.

Getting the carbon black for my Silver Note 5. Can't wait :) (damn you slippery back in tropical weather!)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] chunology:
How long from order to delivery does it take for the skins to arrive? I ordered mine three weeks ago and I've yet to see them.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] BryZantium:
It takes 7-14 BUSINESS days so it could technically take as long as 3 weeks.

I got mines within that time frame. Got pretty anxious waiting for it; almost thought it got lost in the mail!

If no one else does, I'll try to remember to do it when I get home.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] dbdynsty25:
Kind of annoyed the edges of my matte black dbrand don't really stay down very well. Has anyone heated there's up to get it to stick better? It's barely coming up, but just enough to allow dust underneath, so eventually it will lose it's stickiness. I'm constantly pushing them down so I don't feel the edge of the skin. I mean it's literally only a mm or so, but enough to notice.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] clintonroche:
I used the hair dryer and they are staying down well.

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] DLG187:
if you were going to do this (and I don't think you should) - I'd suggest going for the two-piece front skin and applying those after the glass screen protector.

You'd probably be better off finding a glass screen protector that covers the full front, and just stick to the back skins

I received my Matt Black skin for my Note 5 today.

Installation went smooth as silk! I took my time, but it really wasn't very difficult, and fits the Note 5 perfectly! Honestly, you can't see any space between the skin and the metal trim around the Note!

On the slightly negative side, the phone is still pretty slippery...think I'm going to keep it in a case until my Rhinoshield crash guard bumper arrives...

Overall, kudos to DBrand for the excellent job on cutting this skin to perfection!
