[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Mr.Muscles:
Last week Samsung offered IPhone users the chance to sign up and use the Note 5 and S6E+ for 30 days for $1. I signed up for the Note 5. I'm interested to know if anyone else here signed up for the promotion, and if so have you received any shipping info. I'm waiting on an email with the shipping info.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] ArkhamKnight:
Still haven't received any shipping info. Getting nervous lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Mr.Muscles:
I just got my shipping info today. I should have it Thursday. In the email it said I should have it today but tracking it has it still in Tennessee. Would have loved getting it today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Mr.Muscles:
Case already here waiting for the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] ArkhamKnight:
So mad. Bought a case too. Still no shipping info! Was planning on switching from my 6+ to the S6+. Sigh samsung
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Mr.Muscles:
I signed up within the hour that phone arena posted it. It's been about a week and a day till I got my email. You should hear something soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] ArkhamKnight:
As in next Thursday?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Mr.Muscles:
Tomorrow by 8pm
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] ArkhamKnight:
Dang that's a long wait. They shouldn't have advertised the 2-day shipping. It's misleading. Idk how Samsung plans on restocking before the new iPhones come out.

Wtf.... :( done
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Mr.Muscles:
I was thinking the same thing. It would have been better if they promoted this at their keynote for the phones. It would have given more people the opportunity to think of switching. That two day shipping was jacked up. I was crazy excited then it turned into the waiting game. Now that I know it's coming I'm back excited.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] ArkhamKnight:
Funny because I just received a call from Samsung. It'll ship either tonight or tomorrow and I'll recieve it either Saturday or early next week. The rep said that their shipping has been delayed because of the amount of orders. I can rest easy now :D

Also:

The last android device I had was the Samsung Galaxy player. Any suggestions on rooting and if it's possible with the S6 edge plus or note?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Mr.Muscles:
I just read on xda they achieved it on the T-Mobile version. So I'm hopefull it will be achieved. These devs are really impressive.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] ArkhamKnight:
Oh so Different carriers lock them. What can you do with root access?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Mr.Muscles:
Early on you could use it to turn your phone into a hotspot without shelling out the extra $20 a month. Right now they already have a fix for that to where you don't have to root in order to take advantage of that. My first thing I always do is to see if I can install this sound mod from this dev Viper. You can truly take control of the equalizer and make your headphones really good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] ArkhamKnight:
Ooo. Surprised they don't allow root access. What about changing the UI. Keep hearing that touch wiz is bad.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Mr.Muscles:
It use to be terrible. They really cleaned it up every year. To where now it is a pretty decent launcher. I personally prefer Nova Launcher. Especially now that some launchers almost theme the entire system and not just the icons and home screen. With rooting some devs will make custom roms with some pretty awesome features, over locking even run stock android if you want.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] ArkhamKnight:
I'll have to try out nova launcher when my phones get in. I hope they gave me a good one too.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stl1859:
Has anyone been able to successfully set up NFC unlock ( via the Smart Lock function in Lock Screen ) feature on this phone. I tried and could not get it to work. It is not NFC or the tags I am using - because I have been able to set up custom tasks using the same tags - It is just the unlock that isn't co-operating.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] famewolf:
You might try the "smart unlock" app if you can use wifi/bluetooth as opposed to nfc...the xda version supports up to 3 ssid's or bluetooth devices. http://xdaforums.com/apps/smart-unlock/app-smart-unlock-xda-version-skip-t2974396
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stl1859:
Honestly - I am not so crazy about smart unlock - I was simply trying to see what NFC functionality works - and what doesn't . So far I have noticed that Tap-to-Pay works well, and I am able to trigger various actions based on a NFC tag. However - the smart unlock - did not work - even after I tried various combinations ( such as deleting my Exchange account ) . So I am trying to find out if I am doing something wrong, or is this a universal bug. If no one is able to get this to work, then I will email Alcatel with a trouble report.

Hi All

Since the release of the official WM6 roms I have tried both the Dopod rom and VP3Gs AT&T rom and with both I have trouble getting the vibrate for incoming calls, SMS and emails to work.

On the Dopod rom it was intermittent, changed to VP3Gs rom and now it doesnt work at all. Never had this problem before.

Im using PhoneAlarm, have tried various different versions fom the official release to several of the most recent betas and still no vibrate. Dont think PhoneAlar is responsible.

Read all the other threads and no one else seems to have mentioned this so Im wondering if its just me.

Cheers

Rob

My Vodafone V1605 has lost vibration after upgrading to Dopod ROM. I'm also having problems with keyboard (sometimes, none of the front buttons work, but side ones work fine), and sometimes screen gets white, and comes back when you switch off and on.

I didn't know the cause, so I went back to an HTM WM5 rom, and to ATT or Black Satin, with no success.

any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] |oLo|:
Yea i did initially...i applied to com button/vibrate cab and it fixed it after a full reset (hold power button down to turn off the device)

i'm using vp3g's rom
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] robt2379:
Well, for no apparent reason its seems to have started working again during the day today. Still dont think its that reliable so I'll try the com button / vibrate fix cab if I can find it.

Thanks for the replies folks, I shall investigate further . . .

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] superfuji57:
I switched to the official ROM, and vibrate was working initially, but just like you it has stopped working. I'm going to try the above method, but please post if you find the proper fix.

I had to add the vibrating cab to my 8525 with vp3g 3.0. Funny thing is, I'm sure his hybrid had vibrating included. I don't remember-- Senior moment!:p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] |oLo|:
yea it did...what i remember was that when i pressed and held the com button...the vibrate icon showed up but it did not vibrate like it use to and i tested it several times. The com/vibrate button cab can be found all over the place and i'm sure it's on the wiki here somewhere...or it could be a coincidence that the described method worked :confused:

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FdjC:
Hi All,

New to forum, have followed some guides before with my old Samsung S3.

Now have a Sony Xperia Z3 which I am delighted with...apart from an issue I encountered just today.

Basically I went to read a text, message app crashed, repeated to go view message app a few times but same result.

Decided to restart phone, booted up and checked again - all texts now gone...vanished!

Anyway I want to recover them as some messages are important to me and upcoming events.

I've read I have to root my device to attempt recovery of these texts.

I also read, months ago to be fair, rooting the Z3 also unlocked the bootloader which as a result screwed with the DRM keys and quality of the camera (which was amazing in my recent Rome trip!).

Basically I want to root my device, not break my camera quality, not loose my DRM keys and attempt recovery of missing texts (with third party windows apps most likely).

Can this be done?

Found this guide but it doesn't mention the DRM keys so I am unsure:

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdemiche:
Hi All,

The capacitive buttons of my OPO suddenly stopped working. My phone didn't drop and has no physical damage. I tried an hard reset by flashing CM11s (from COS 12) via unlocking bootloader and executing the right commands in Fastboot mode, but the problem still persists.

I switched to screen buttons, but I prefer the physical buttons for my usage.

My phone is 9 month old and It's very strange that an hardware problems materialize in this way (no new app installed when the problem arose).

Has anyone experience the same problem or someone know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for help

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredless:
Any chance we'll ever see an update to our 3.4 kernels to a modern 3.10 kernel in stock images? It appears that the Z4 ships with 3.10 kernel, but no such luck for the older generation devices.

Assuming the answer to 1st question is no, are there any custom kernels available for our phones that are suitable for running in conjunction with our stock (rooted) 5.1.1 OS images?
[G4 General] shootind5nukes:
I called Verizon about an issue I was having with their service today and the rep started troubleshooting. He began to tell me about stuff in my phone stuff like RAM usage, battery %, battery health, apps running, apps that can keep your phone awake, last time charged, last time booted up, wifi connection/signal, cell signal/4G, IF YOU WERE ROOTED(void warranty even if you go back to stock before you return it), AND KERNEL VERSION.

So I got to looking at apps I disabled(with debloat tool) and some even though were disabled were still running. They were even listed in disabled in application manager. When I clicked the apps in disabled it showed that force stop was selectable which meant it was running. I want to emphasize that I used both the debloat tool floating around here and manually disabled them in application manger and they were still running.

People have mentioned that this spyware was well known, fair enough. This is how you stop some of it. Keep in mind that this is Verizons trojan and the Verizon agent assured me LG has one as I'm sure the other carriers also have.. If someone has a reason to call LG install no root firewall and see what apk they query. I think LG's app will be more hidden than MyVerizon.apk.

**EDIT 08/28/2015** I got it!!!! it's the my verizon mobile apk! I called verizon and asked for my battery health and RAM usage. I watched him query MyVerizon.apk. The first one my firewall let through and he knew everything about my phone, after that I blocked it and poof he couldn't do it. I watched him try several times after I blocked it and each failed. After he was confused because it worked the first time but none of the other times I told him the actual reason for my call. He admitted it's just like a trojan, he said it was probably is a disclosure that no one reads(including him) for MyVerizon.apk. He told me that I was very clever due to how I found it. I said I asked another agent previously before where the apk was that allowed them to see it and they all said they had no clue. The guy I just spoke to knew exactly which apk it was and said all tier 2 tech support knows it. They all knew to lie to the end user because I bet many would block it.

You can use No Root Firewall to see what app they are using. Ask your carrier about your battery health and see what app gets called on, after they tell you the battery health block the app with the firewall then ask them to check again. If they say it isn't working you found the right one, please PM me which apk it is and I'll add it to this post.

MyVerizon.apk I confirmed it is positively this one.

VZMobileSecurity.apk I think this is spyware also
[G4 General] diedemus:
That isnt really news, iirc thats what the carrierIQ crap does
[G4 General] shootind5nukes:
I thought I debloated it pretty good....what app sends that data? Is there an app I can install that monitors data to and from and which app is doing it?

Edit: CarrierIQ didn't tell verizon if you were rooted though. Flash a custom kernel and call them and see what they say when you need to warranty it cause something non related broke.
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
They've been able to do this for a couple of years. They can even remotely take over your phone. When I was a tech for Verizon, we saw XXX stuff all the time on peoples phones.
[G4 General] shootind5nukes:
Edit: Deleted. This was about my old method that I'm not using anymore! The new method causes no problem.
[G4 General] joshw0000:
This is a little concerning and borderline illegal. I would definitely like to see more work on this to find a solution that will also boot on a reboot.
[G4 General] RenaKunisaki:
Mine throws a security error at boot if I uninstall certain system apps, but I can disable/freeze them no problem. Also I have LIAinformant but I'm not on Verizon. I think it's part of LG's "smart actions" app (LG Intelligent Agent), probably tells it what to suggest. I don't use that app anyway so I disabled LIAinformant and haven't seen any problems.
[G4 General] shootind5nukes:
**Edit** This was about my old method that I'm not using anymore! The new method causes no problem.

**old method** even disabled some of them are running. I thought disabling was stopping them too. Go into your application manager and go over to disabled and click on each one, see if any of them have force stop selectable. If any of them do it's still running. Verizon has a giant trojan horse installed that even runs while disabled. I think it's VZMobileSecurity.apk. Like I said I did other apks but I think VZMobileSecurity.apk is the trojan horse.
[G4 General] shootind5nukes:

[G4 General] player911:
Nice app. Downloading now. Very interested in seeing what crap my phone is sending out
[G4 General] shootind5nukes:
Verizon assured me LG has a similar tool and I bet all carriers do. if your not on verizon I bet you still have the same trojans. I forgot to mention earlier that when the verizon agent was querying my phone that the APK in question was asking for root(via superuser)! lol. I thought the app would look for the su binary in /system and report that the phone is rooted but it doesn't. it tries to acquire root privileges and if you hit deny they don't know your rooted. how stupid of verizon.

you know what sucks is there are a million apps that you NEED to let through your firewall like iheartradio. Iheartradio streams music from the internet so allow that. But iheartradio is constantly sending and recieving **** to facebook and amazon. why? I'm not using it it shouldn't be using my data connection right? it does. They are the hardest apps to deal with because if you block them their primary function doesn't work. apps like es file explore are constantly trying to use data for who knows what, I'm assuming advertising. They are easy because there is nothing it needs online, block it and be done. secure settings? block it and be done. You'll hate the ones actually need to be allowed through your firewall though because you can't block apps like that because it needs the internet to do it's job you downloaded it for. look below how many times iheartradio is trying to talk to facebook and amazon. I am not logged in with facebook nor am I using amazon, yet it's trying to send them data.
[G4 General] player911:
I think this firewall app needs its own thread. Using it now and blocked a bunch of stuff. Screw that. I have Amazon Store and everything DISABLED yet it is still trying to call home. Not cool.
[G4 General] phineous:
I get the error "VPN unavailable on this version of OS" when I try to start the firewall.

I tried setting IPV4/6 in the APN as suggested in the reviews, but that didn't fix it.

I was able to use AdGuard in VPN mode before I rooted and switched to AdAway so I know VPN did work at one time.

Anyone got any ideas? It's too nice outside for me to troubleshoot my phone today!

IHeartRadio is probably just using Amazon Web Services to stream, so no big worry there. It is reporting your every move to Facebook though, but who isn't these days.
[G4 General] phineous:
Never mind!

Something I blocked with Debloater was preventing VPNs from being created. I did a batch unblock so I don't know what it was exactly, but I would guess it was one of the Qualcomm files related to networking.
