[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TML1504:
Wanam is a customization module for xposed framework. This allows you to mod a lot of system settings, mainly UI!

I have no clue if xposed is stable now on the Android 5 Samsung roms, there had been a lot of troubles because Samsung changed a lot in their framework compared to the stock one, and it took some time to adopt xposed to these changes.

If xposed is baked into your custom rom then go ahead and give it a try!

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtchocky:
I've noticed 2 things that are a little bothersome, seeking opinions.

1)When you take a macro, there is a sever aberration on the edges, beyond just bokeh. It almost looks like a motion blur. Is this a manufacturer blemish? Or are others noticing this too?

2)Would scratches on the laser cover screw with the ability to focus? I'd think that the lasers might skew and get confused....

Thanks!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontbeweakvato:
I have taken shots with the laser completely covered up and uncovered. There appeared to be no noticeable difference with the images. Wouldn't it New funny if there "laser focus" was just a gimmick, no actual functionality.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtchocky:
Don't think that hasn't popped into my mind :P
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allesa:
Tried to take a close up shot with laser focus covered with my finger. Couldnt focus on the object. Uncover it and voila it focuses in to time
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
I have guessed (!) that the laser simply provides illumination for dark scenes, so the camera can see better, letting it autofocus more accurately.

Many conventional digital cameras have autofocus illumination functions, just a source that helps light up the middle of the scene before shooting, so the AF can work properly.

My assumption is that this is basically what the laser is doing. I don't claim to understand why it would have to be a laser vs some other light source. Perhaps because a laser can light up something further away, vs a broader light beam of the same power. Or maybe because a laser can make a small dot (unlike a broader beam), which the autofocus system can assume should be crisp, and can adjust the focus so that the laser's dot looks sharp.

But I don't think it's something like a laser rangefinder. I think it just kind of flicks around and "paints" the scene with light, so the image sensor can see better.

Try the focus tests in dim/dark lighting. I'm guessing the camera will have a harder time focusing if you cover the laser when trying to focus in a dark environment.

Again, this is speculation, I haven't tried to test the focus with and without the laser. But if it's basically acting like an AF-illuminator, then I wouldn't call it a useless gimmick. Instead, it's something that should be most-helpful in poorly-lit areas. And not needed if you're outside in bright lighting.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
It does have functionality but imagine you are trying to take a photo through a window of something outside. The laser would bounce off the glass and not be very useful.

in this case the G4 will fall back on contrast detection which is the std auto focus method. so covering up the laser means it uses contrast detection. might not be as quick though.

i notice the first 10% and last ten % are softer than the centre. is this what you mean ? maybe post an image.

no, i doubt it would affect functionality.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
Now for something colossally boring :) A picture of the laser's output.

This is a 15 second exposure using another camera, at ISO 800, f2.0, with the G4's camera running, and its laser aimed at a white sheet of paper maybe 10" away. An exposure like this captures a lot of light, and you can still barely see anything from the laser.

I can only assume that the output from the laser is simply very, very dim. I can see a red flicker when looking at the laser's window. But I don't see anything with it aimed at paper.

If the camera is reading something about the laser light not using the lens & image sensor (eg-, somehow using it as a range finder), that's impressive. If the image sensor can actually detect something useful from the laser by itself, that's maybe more impressive. That would mean the sensor is very, very sensitive. Or that maybe the laser light is largely outside our visible spectrum, but within a wavelength that the G4's image sensor sees (that is, the light is actually brighter than it looks to the eye).

I then tried focusing the G4 on things in the room in very, very dim lighting. It's dark out, the TV was on, and that's it. The camera claimed it was focused (green square, beep), but it wasn't. I even tried covering the lens & window with my finger (pitch black "scene"), and it claimed it focused.

I then aimed it at my laptop on the floor, which had one visible LED. With the flash off (no AF-assist light), I'd tap on the LED on the screen, to focus there. I tried it with the laser exposed, and the laser window covered. It kept claiming it focused, but it wasn't. The LED appeared as a big fuzzy blob. When I'd enable the flash, it would turn that on to help focusing, and would actually focus properly.

But in my very-limited test, in a dark room, with the flash disabled, I didn't observe a focusing improvement from having the laser in-use.

Ok, your persist partition might be corrupt. Download this:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B98G0KTJwnBFUnJCNldodGs2dE0/edit?usp=docslist_api

Use fastboot to do the following:

fastboot erase persist
fastboot flash persist persist.img
fastboot reboot

If it still doesn't boot after that, try flashing the stock images again with fastboot. If it still won't boot after that I'm out of ideas and you'll need to start the RMA process with OnePlus.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] osiris355:
My sister has the s6 on 5.1.1 with prepaid and you cannot turn advanced calling on as a prepaid customer. I read in the past that users that were having bad battery life were turning advanced calling on to help it. I also remember reading when the phone first came out people were doing the opposite...

So whats the answer these days? Is advanced calling worse or better for battery life?

The no contract plan is 5 dollars more a month so I don't want to move her to that plan to get advanced calling unless battery life is better. If its the same or worse it would just be a waste of 5 a month.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Shawn haz root:
I honestly don't see a real difference on or off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] twiz0r:
I believe you are talking about this:

People were having high standby drain. Turning off advanced calling, clearing cache, turning advanced calling back on made it better for a lot of people.

I always leave it on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeP523:
Cell standby is driving me crazy. I wish they would fix the bug already. I read somewhere that it's related to WiFi with a 5 GZ connection? Not sure if that's true or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] osiris355:
No its not. It happens on a 2.4 as well. So is the standby drain less when not on wifi?

[HELP] Goophone i6 Plus - Very slow !

Hello my friends, I made a purchase on Dhgate.com a Goophone i6 Plus, the seller said the device was MTK6582 Quad Core and RAM of 1GB. Now he arrived, he found it very slow and downloaded CPU-Z to check, I came across this, MT6572 4 cores and 512MB RAM (Screenshots). I do not quite understand processor, as do, to enable the two nuclei that are "stopped"? As for RAM, the device is consuming almost it all, which is causing crashes on, is there any solution? Help me please, I spent a lot from this unit.

If you have to do root, I do, no problem, except that I can not activate the USB debug option because it use Apple's Settings application.

Screenshots in the comment below.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloatingFatMan:
Sorry, but the Goophone is a very poor iPhone clone, and the spec CPU-Z is giving you correctly matches the i6 Plus model.

The 2 stopped cores merely means they're not being used currently. the 512mb of RAM -will- leave your device almost unusable as it's just not enough. Rooting will not improve the device performance at all.

When buying a lemon, one should not be surprised if the experience leaves a sour taste in the mouth, sorry. If I were you, I'd try to return it for your money back and steer clear of those junk devices in future. Always research your purchases.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medina656:
Thank you for answering me, what device do you recommend I buy?

I like a lot of iPhone clones, and I see some that are Octa-core, 2GB RAM, TouchID, is it good? One of these costs about 250 USD. But the mine was 120 USD.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Most clones do not really have the hardware they claim to and to be honest your best bet would be to avoid them all together.

Not to mention you will find almost 0 development for them
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belovedstar:
Hi! I just bought a Goophone i6 plus V3. Everything works fine: sensors, touch ID, Wifi, bluetooth, calls, data and GPS. But as this devices comes from China, Google is banned there, the main issue I have with my phone is GPS Location. It is default China and I can't re-assign it to my country (my ignorance I guess). I can use Maps (this even tracks very fine my route), FB, Whatsapp, Line, Instagram, etc. it runs smoothly, but I am not able to use apps that requiere full location services as Google+, Snapchat or We Heart it, p.e. Since the phone is going crazy trying to lock to China satellites, battery consuption is level God.
[HTC Desire 510] Deep Ellum Dan:
Thanks for this list!

Odd, removed almost everything from the safe to remove list, and only gave me a little over 200 MB free.... did i miss something?
[HTC Desire 510] davidw.roggenkamp:
Unlike Windows which uses a file manager as a shell, Android uses a hardware, driver and software environment. You will need to use a few tools (ah development!) to access most areas of Android. Link2SD will work for our purposes. Using the reboot method here will leave you some files on both your system and data partitions. Between the two is about 2 gigs, but it is more like 1.7gigs. Move everything to your system partition. The proper way to do this, is to use the system partition for critical or system files - I would use this for anything important too. You will need to integrate files updated via the Google Play Store into your system partition - someone needs to build an app that does this automatically or a cleaner or something. Use your data partition for temporary storage or for games. Not all apps can be transferred to the ad card, keep this in mind when going on a download binge getting all of your favorite apps under one roof. It will be a pain in the neck transferring files between partitions. Large apps will prove to be a problem if their data is cover the space requirements on your phone are insufficient. I think there is an app to transfer data from apps to the we care or mount something like the Bob folder there, I am unfamiliar with it, but I believe it is similar to a Linux function where mounted folders can have shared links.

I am under the impression HTC made this phone as a disposable unit or for those that want to get under the hood. E.G. there are over 2gigs of under-the-hood system files taking up space. The most obvious being sound files which can't be accessed via normal file manager as audio files. Deleting theme would consolidate space etc. I have yet to entertain the idea and have yet to reboot this far. It is promising as such rooms like cyanogen are 200-500mb and stock is like 800mb sand stock unloaded iirc is 1.4gb.
[HTC Desire 510] davidw.roggenkamp:
During my initial tests between freezing apps to see if it affected system stability or not, I had one fly under the radar - TetherGuard is used to activate tether. I've updated the list to reflect this, but my current build doesn't have it - I'm looking into restoring it without having to resort to a backup.

Please keep this in mind when debugging your phone; you should always have a master backup and a backup of your latest build on your SD-Card or computer. Incremental builds are a must.

In other news, I've found a way to remove the ringtones to further debloat your phone - there is an app called "Ringtone Remover" at the Google Play store. It will restore about 25mbs of free space. That is an app right there folks!

[HTC Desire 510] Deep Ellum Dan:
I've gone in and booted to a write enabled kernel then went on and deleted bloatware previously undeleteable and moved my main programs to the system partition. From there, id ankles to recover able 400 MB in the data partition with still having about 600 MB in my system partition and I can report no issues whatsoever. I removed almost everything in the list that's safe except for a couple things I want to keep and installed and updated things previously unable to like busybox. Rebooted and was back on the factory kernel and everything works perfectly. Made a system backup before ask this incase anything went wrong. Once everything was working, I made a backup of how things are after debloating and now I have the perfect system. Phone is running without issues. Maybe I'll make a detailed tutorial after I remember how I tried it first lol.

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] drmacrofish:
I decided to make a thread on this as I keep seeing people reporting problems with the Samsung branded wireless charger in use with their Note 5 or Galaxy 6+ Edge. I am trying to get an idea of how prevalent this is.

What happens is this, I put the phone on the charger and it lights up showing it is placed appropriately and it charges. It then charges for a time period, and will suddenly stop and the LED blinks blue. This can happen after 1 minute to an hour or so into the charge, to not at all. Often, unplugging the charger and plugging it back in seems to reset it and it works again. Very bizzare. I returned the first charger like this and got a second one, but it does the same thing.

I am wondering if Sammy did this on purpose to get us to buy the rapid wireless charger when it comes out....

Also, I know it is not my Note 5, as my other wireless charger works fine.

Please post your experience with this charger.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] jackdforme:
This is a built in protection mechanism. They blink blue to say they are nearing the end of a charge cycle. Once complete, green. Then it wont charge again till the phone calls for it. This is only going to happen with that charger and these phones as they are programmed to work with one another like that.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] drmacrofish:
But then why does it stop charging around different percentages? Like sometimes it is at say 50%, another time at 70%. This morning I woke up and it was at 74%, blinking blue, not charging, after sitting on it all night....
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] AJ4VS:
Mine does this as well. I thought it was the vibrations during notifications that was moving it off the "sweet spot" causing the charge to stop.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] jackdforme:
It is seeming more like a manufacturing defect in the charger. I had one that did the misalignment blinking blue and sent it back. Bought another at my office and its fine. Got the replacement one and its also fine. My first was a pre-order when the S6 edge came out. Maybe the coil or firmware were messed up. Just exchange it and see.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] drmacrofish:
Yeah, I have exchanged it once already, and it still persisted. Reading reviews on Amazon it seems others were complaining of the same issue with the Note 5 or Galaxy Edge 6+, which is why I am wondering if it is something else going on.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] whoamanwtf:
My S6 did not do this but my Note 5 is doing it, on the same charger so yeah there is something clashing with the new and old wireless charging tech maybe? I have my same puck I used from the S6 and it would be at 100% when I woke up, my note today was at 98%! Blasphemy!!
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Hezzennater:
I was thinking we needed a thread for this too. I'm not sure what's going on. I googled it the first night and no one was really talking about it for the note5 and edge+, so I saw lots of the thread for the s6 and s6edge. I'm going to try my wife's phone on it, but I keep forgetting.

EDIT: Day Dream, and keep phone awake, neither of them will work on the wireless charger. My screen just turns off like normal Maybe this is a clue?

Adding distance between the phone and the pad, moving the pad into another room onto to floor.... Any other suggestions?

It definitely is not blinking because it's finished anything. it blinks when the phone is under 15%.

The first night, it never worked. i woke up and it was still blinking. The 2nd night, it blinked once, and i took it off, and put it on, and went to sleep. When i woke up, it was fully charged and cool. The third night, I woke up at 5 am and it was blinking (thankfully I put it on the fast charger and get it 100% before having to go to work). I don't know what I did the 2nd night!

PS: I'm testing right now, and will update soon on my wife's s6 status.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
Possible it only works on the fast wireless charger???
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Hezzennater:
If my memory serves me correctly, they said in the unboxed event that it was backwards compatible. Plus, it's a Qi standard, it should HAVE to work to maintain that standard. Plus, That would be messed up! :P But it is possible....
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] drmacrofish:
This is what I am wondering. If Sammy did something here to make only the fast charger work. Of course I have no issues with my Tylt wireless charger though. But I would like the Samsung one to work right if possible. It is just so random. Sometimes it works great and other times not.
