Seriously but material and LP animations have taken over my mind and I so much hate KK holo and its ****ty animations that its hard to move back. Otherwise there is not a single other reason I would like to stay on LP for.
[Moto E General] rdnatty:
I too received this update. A problem that I have with my Moto E is the very limited internal storage - which became even less after migrating to lollipop. With app updates coming frequently, the space gets less after each update. Is there anyway I can increase it? Can't I use a 32GB memory card and make it a part of internal storage or complement it either? What are the steps, if any? I'm a noob as far as rooting and all such stuff are concerned. I'm otherwise happy with the phone, but this low internal storage...

Thanks.

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Shand359:
These steps SHOULD unbrick/flash a ROM onto an XDA Orbit. (Only tested on a UK O2 Orbit as this is the only hardware I have)

Step by step:- (works for me. No promises. So far only on a Windows XP machine)

1. Hard reset phone (press and hold two buttons with white lines next to red and green button while pressing reset with stylus. When text appears on screen, release all buttons, read text and if OK press "send" key. This means the GREEN call key. Screen will show FAT formatted etc.)

2. When phone starts to boot back up press and hold TOP LEFT button (speech dial) while pressing reset to enter bootloader mode (screen changes to 3 colour, red green and blue bands.

3. With PC running (XP only for now) connect USB cable to phone. Windows will conect to phone but Activesync will not show as phone is not running Windows at this point (Bootloader only remember!)

4. Run the ORIGINAL ROM file for your handset. If German phone run GERMAN ROM, if UK phone run UK ROM. This should restore the handset back to its factory settings with WM5 running.

5. If you want to upgrade to WM6 I suggest you unlock phone using imei-check first. Easier to fix later on if something goes wrong. Costs about £28 I think.

6. Download and run USPL program by unpacking and clicking on "start_uspl.exe" NOT by running UpgradeROMUtility.exe. If USPL is successful, which it usually is, when the phone restarts pay attention to the RED number that appear on the bootscreen. SPL should read 1.11.0000.

7. After phone is finished re-booting download and run a ROM of your choice. Should install OK, especially if phone is unlocked and USPL'd

Apparently you can flash any ROM by using only USPL. I have not tried this as I previously "bricked" my handset by NOT running USPL when I should have. Therefore I have only detailed the steps that I take to flash my phone if I need to restore from a bad flash.

So far it works for me.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellon:
Hi guys you can recover the data by using another working galaxy s3. Your data is saved on the motherboard, so you can just put it in another phone and back up from there. Here are detailed steps below:

1) Take out the tiny screws from the back of phones (~10 in each).

2) Remove the plastic cover that is shielding the motherboard.

3) Unclip the display cable from both phones.

4) Insert the cable from the phone with the working screen into the port on the cracked/locked phone.

5) Boot it back up, and save all of your files after unlocking it.

In the process you should be very careful not to damage the working phone. After that you can have your broken screen replaced. Recommend you to check hcqs for Samsung galaxy s3 screen replacement.

[Samsung Gear S] mcn1970:
i own a gear s and i have a problem with display. on the bottom part appeared a line from left to right and width/height of 1mm. the line stays there instead of the normal content during menu navigation.

i tried to reset or restart but no success. when the screen is off the line disappears also.

strange thing is that the color of the line differs according with the color of the screen

is it a hardware or software problem?
[Samsung Gear S] kieso:
Just my opinion but it sounds like a hardware issue.
[Samsung Gear S] eclipse05x:
Is it something like that?

In my case it's vertical. Sometimes very visible - like you can see on pics below. Other time barely visible...
[Samsung Gear S] sweetedge:
My Gear S had a similar white line, running vertical, on the right side of the screen.

Within a day or two, the entire screen was affected. It looked faded, streaky horizontally, still with the vertical white line on the side.

Now, the display does not work at all. Completely blank, black, no light whatsoever.

After opening it up, the liquid damage indicator is still flawless. And after putting it back together, the watch still works perfectly! You just have to know what should be on the screen.

What happened? What can I do?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclypse3demons:
I have searched around but have not been able to find a solution, I have a new (two days old) Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge +. I love the phone so far, Android 5.1.1 is great, I have always like the TW interface, but I have this one nagging issue, and believe it or not its a big problem. The phone works super in all aspects but with games. Which during my off time I love Tower Madness and Clash of Clans they are my go to solitaire games =) BUT...... The touch screen on this phone is so sensitive it has a hard time registering the difference between screen scrolling or tap to select. So if I go to tap a unit it scrolls the screen ever so lightly before I even tap, then moves the screen, then I have to tap ever so accurately and deliberate or hit it a million times to register I am tapping not scrolling.

This is the one area the phone is just so bad. I have actually tested this over and over and I can scroll the screen without physically touching it holding my finger just above it say 1/16th of an in or less and it will move with my finger like the hover option on my old Note and Note 2. I cannot for the life of me find any sensitivity setting and its a phone issue not an app issue, unless the app can make you scroll the hardware without touching it :D . The only setting I can find is the mouse/touchpad sensitivity setting which has no affect on this.

Has anyone else been able to fix this?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apurva.giri:
And I thought it was just me who's thinking that I could literally scroll and use the touch screen without touching it :silly: (may be from 1 mm distance). The effects are less after I've put on the Zagg screen protector, its really thick and rubbery ( with friction). I think they did it to make it work even with gloves on or something since I couldn't find any option to turn on/off the glove mode previously introduced. I also miss the air gesture features introduced with S4.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclypse3demons:
Yeah it's annoying being forced to have a glove mode at the sacrifice of running apps in the first place. One feature should not defeat the phones use like this.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pankajxdx:

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcolp98:
hi! :)

I wonder if there's someone that want to port Tizen OS to our device :o

Tizen is the only real alternative OS for the Ace 2 because:

Ubuntu Touch: too small /system partition

Sailfish: hardest OS to port and gesture based ( it would make the hardware keys useless)

Firefox OS: it uses only the centre hardware key

Tizen uses Html5 apps and it's not Java based, so i think in would run better than Android :D

Also Tizen has already native clients for Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram and more....

I hope that someone will try to port this OS for this great device, thanks in advance! :o

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willyman:
Guys,

I need your opinion on something. I have this annoying thing that given my slight OCD is going to drive me crazy. It's this: scrolling in any app (main culprits are Facebook and Youtube) is simply not as smooth as on my OnePlus One. It has this stuttering effect which is not super obvious at first, but when the phones are next to each other the difference is highly noticeable.

What is your experience with scrolling in apps? Is it smooth as butter or do you also notice some stutter? Could I have a dud device? Anyway to find out?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonJoel:
Scrolling seems fine to me, but I'm not comparing it with something else side by side, and have no ocd...
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calvin35:
That is my experience as well. A osprey based roms have slightly better in app scrolling. That Samsung browser is so bad that I had to stop using it.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlsroufe:
I have ocd too and im very sensitive to lag and choppy scrolling. Completely agree. I have the oneplus one as well. Note 5 is faster everywhere but scrolling is not that smooth. YouTube is really choppy compared to other phones. My oneplus one's screen is much less responsive though. input lag everywhere so I would rather have the note 5's choppy scrolling instead.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willyman:
It's just bizarre really. This thing absolutely flies, it has power to spare, multitasking, Youtube, gaming ... but certain things are just not smooth.

Things I notice that bother me:

Scrolling in apps... Main culprits Youtube and Facebook

Pulling down notification shade... A subtle stutter

Scrolling through a long list op open apps... A small stutter in the beginning

It's small things, but it seems to have issues with refreshing graphics somehow. I don't know, I'm not knowledgeable enough. Unfortunately there is no root available yet for my model (N9200) so all I can do is wait I guess,
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlsroufe:
I have noticed all those except for the notification shade. I disabled a bunch of apps of course, including that Quick connect and the other thing that was up there all the time, so maybe that helped. I am seeing a ton of improvements in scrolling with all the apps I have disabled but not to where I would call it super smooth. For some reason scrolling in the browser is pretty smooth which is usually the place i see problems on other phones. It must have something to do with how touchwiz handles scrolling cache. If someone comes up with a mod to adjust it, that may almost be a big enough reason for me to root my phone.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willyman:
Thanks. Yeah, I've done the same (disabling apps etc...). It definitely not bad, but it's not as smooth as other Android phones I've used. Fast yes, perfectly smooth, no.

Updates seem to come quickly. I've had 2 already in 2 weeks. let's see. And with Android M around the corner, I'm sure in a few weeks/months things will be perfect.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
Samsung have anyways had this issue with their phones. Never been butter smooth due to bloat ware mainly. No matter the specs phone lags and stutters, I think Samsung should ditch TW.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willyman:
Utterly bizarre... Things have dramatically improved and I literally did nothing...

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] black_shirt:
I'm so close to returning this, and getting the Nexus 6. I've tried every browser available, and I'm not sure if it's the 64-bit architecture or what, it's probably TouchWiz, I'm not sure. I compared it to my galaxy s5 and it's worse. Why is scrolling terrible? I hope somebody comes up with the fix, id bloated about everything I can, and factory reset.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calvin35:
Download Lightning Browser+ from the playstore. The paid version blocks all adds and the scrolling is very smooth. It's what I'm using on my Note 5.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willyman:
No update. Like I said, its all a bit bizarre. All I can say is that the two last charging cycles things are a lot better.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willyman:
One thing I found works is to install Adguard (not in store, just google it). It will block ads and make scrolling in Chrome a lot better. The only annoying part I would say is a persistent VPN notification. Adguard uses a local VPN which results in a permanent notification. If you can live with that I found it to be pretty great.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlsroufe:
I thought it was just in my head but I gave adguard a try after some time of not using it and I thought it made the whole system faster. Still not 100% sure but things could be a tad smoother and more responsive in general. I'm trying to decide whether it's worth having it constantly running in the background and using chrome or just using lightning browser with its ad blocker built in.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
My AT&T version has no issue in scrolling - either in the UI or individual apps I use. I'll get some lag when scrolling fast in the Gallery or FlickFolio but that's because I'm scrolling faster than the thumbnails can load. That's an OS thing, not a h/w or UI thing. Overall the diet Samsung put TW and their own apps on has really paid off.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willyman:
I'm starting to believe it has something to do with the last "performance increasing update " . I can see from other threads on here that not everyone is on it yet. I received it mid last week. I had another Note 5 before which I returned as it had an issue with the Screen. That one never got upgraded to that stage and was very smooth. This one I have now felt smooth as well, but think that it got worse with the upgrade. I'm now on the update captured in the screenshot. It ends in AHO4. The one before was AHO2.

Once I've figured out how to flash that version on there using Odin3, I will give that a shot and turn off automatic updates. To be continued...
