[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregg098:
This applies to both my phone (Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Rooted) and my wife's phone (Samsung Galaxy S5). We are both on Verizon.

We recently moved about 20 miles down the road and ever since, both of our phones still think we live in the other city. For example, Weather Bug constantly shows the other city. If I start Google Maps or another GPS application, the initial location is the other city (my actual old house location) and then it quickly "finds" us where we actually live when the real GPS kicks in. This happens on both Wifi and on mobile network.

If I go to any site that does IP location, it always shows my ip as the city I live in. I thought maybe that since I still use Comcast that my IP was registering the old address or something similar. I went to the extent of doing a mac clone on my router to pull a new Comcast IP with the same results. IPV6 is turned off.

I have also tried clearing data on all google services, deleting location history, etc. I also updated my address in Google, my home location, and every other spot that references the old address. Something that does work is to turn off all other location types except just GPS, but then it has to use my GPS more and results in more battery usage.

Since this is on both of our phones and not limited to one, what other options do I have? How do I get Google to update my location based on cell towers, IP, or whatever else it uses for non-GPS location?

Any help is appreciated. One of those minor issues that really just bugs me more than anything.

Under the "S Pen" settings, the setting is labeled "Turn off pen detection". When I turn it on, does it turn off pen detection? Those double negatives...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Hezzennater:
I hate double negatives too. You never know if the dev got it right or not. But in this case I think the dev got it right. Turn the setting to on, and it turns detection off.

Take your s pen out and set it down and walk away. If you get alerts reminding you to put it back, then it's on.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Splines:
I have a Kindle HDX 7", started on 4.5.4. I downgraded 3.2.8, upgraded to (I think) 4.5.2, rooted, installed SafeStrap v4, then put CM11 on it (wiped FireOS out). It's working great, thanks to the work of the people here.

Is it safe to do any of the following?

Install Xposed

Factory reset in CM11

Factory reset in SafeStrap recovery (TWRP, I guess?)

Factory hardware via ADB or via power buttons? (or any other method?)

Just want to make sure I don't do something that turns my Kindle into a brick.

Also, in my haste I didn't back up my FireOS image after getting into SafeStrap. Is that device specific or can I find an image from someone else if I should (for some weird reason) decide to revert to stock (if that's even possible)? Or am I stuck on custom roms now?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Xposed with CM11 (regardless of device) is not always the best combination although many/most modules do work properly. I use Xposed Framework regularly with Nexus v4 and have experienced no problems. On another device with 'native' CM11 (no Safestrap) there are occasional hiccups but never anything that would prevent the device from booting. Unfortunately, I do not have extensive experience with CM11 under Safestrap v4 on an HDX but would not expect huge problems provided you stay away from lower level functions.

Regarding your other questions:

- factory reset from Safestrap is ok

- factory reset from CM11 should be fine although my preference would be to wipe and reflash in Safestrap (which is loosely based on TWRP but is NOT the same and does not offer the same recovery capabilities).

- factory reset from ADB or via native Kindle recovery menu (accessed via power+vol-up) can lead to disaster with Safestrap v4 installed. NEVER DO THIS!

- a safestrap compatible version of FireOS 4.5.2 can be found here. Flashing an other variant will likely yield a brick.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
So, I got an email saying I could get up to $100 off the new Tab S2 if I traded in my Tab S. I'm not really interested in "upgrading" to be honest, but I was interested in seeing just how close to $100 I could get.

They only ask 2 questions regarding the condition of your Tab S. 1: Does it power on? 2: Is the LCD/Touchscreen non-functioning, have dark spots, blemishes or is the glass broken or cracked?

Answering "yes" to the first and "no" to the second means that is the best condition your Tab S can be in; given the questions available. Guess what? You would only get $20 for it. WTF?! My tablet is in mint condition and I've had it nearly a year. Wipe the fingerprints off and remove root and it would be ready for a new owner.

As you can tell, this is mostly just a rant post. I'm sick of companies taking the Gamestop approach to their products when trading in. *sigh*
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HKSpeed:
Best Buy has a trade-in promo for $100 off the S2. They'll accept several different tablets. I considered trading in my Nexus 7 (2012) and selling my S1 on eBay/Craigslist to cover most of the costs. I hate the S2's 4:3 screen ratio, so it's not worth it to me.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gray44:
In most parts of the world you can still buy a tab s 10,5 for around 300$/euro.

Maybe if you trade in a surface pro of 1000$, you would get 100$?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyTG:
I traded in a kindle HD 8.9 and got the $100 discount (they didn't notice it was rooted :) ). Needless to say the tab s2 blows the kindle out of the water!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The screen ratio isn't that I big of a deal for me since I don't use it for watching videos as much as I use to. I see no reason for anyone to switch to the S2. If they would just continue updating the Tab S, I think we would be set until S3 comes out; assuming it actually has better specs.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aegeuss:
I'm not upgrading neither; current generation display, specs are quite ok for me; the device goes very well with official bluetooth keyboard and unofficial cyanogenmod 12.1; I dont't have any problem with current games and applications; and it's not my phone; why shall I change it?

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brittany_Menton:
A lot of people select Tab 10.1 for trade in, which is $20 on most companies. You should fill it out for 10.5, they typically pay $150 or so for those if you get the lowest version (16gb).

The hardware on the S2 is equivalent to a Galaxy note 4, which scores about 50% more on benchmarks. So it is more than just a ratio change.

There is no reason to upgrade a tablet since the Android platform is so fragmented that even the 10.5 is considered a extremely powerful android device. Upgrading it isn't really going to give you anymore power.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChardC:
As far as I see it, the price difference isn't that much. The Tab S is capable of the same and to me, I think it's far more sleek than the Tab S2.

I traded a Nook Color for $100 at Best buy yesterday and I used this trade to buy a S2 8 inch.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojoehand:
This evening (25 Sep), I went to BB to look at the current tablets. My Tab 10.1 that I've had forever (got one of the first ones the local BB had) was annoyingly slow by today's standards. I had SlimSaber ROM on it, which made it more usable, but still not speedy.

I traded in my Tab 10.1 and got $100 off on an S2 WiFi 9.7". The S2 is such an improvement that there is no comparison with my old tablet. I also got the flip cover. Samsung always charges too much for accessories, but it is a nicely made cover.

I tried to give BB the flip cover for the old tablet, but they wouldn't take it. I don't know what I'm going to do with it, as it doesn't fit anything else.

BB just looked to make sure that the old tablet wasn't damaged, that it turned on and worked. They copied the model and S/N off the back and issued me a $50 credit and a $50 gift card (not sure why they split it like that). Both were applied to the purchase of the S2.

BTW, someone else here mentioned trading in a Kindle tablet. The local BB specifically stated that a Kindle tablet would not be accepted.

If you are going to take advantage of the trade-in on an S2, you had better do it REAL SOON. The promotion ends today (26 Sep).

It is a bit sad to think about what I paid for the Tab 10.1 new vs what it is worth today. I figured that the trade-in was a good deal, because I would probably have had a hard time selling the Tab 10.1 for $100.

It has only been a few hours, but so far, I am very pleased with the new S2. Now to see how much I can tweak it without rooting it yet. At least Samsung didnt bloat it up as bad as my original tablet.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyTG:
They took my Kindle no problem. It was not a basic B&W kindle, it was a Kindle HD 8.9", basically an android tablet, only with an ancient Amazon fork of Android. They didn't notice it was rooted! :)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsew745:
I traded in a Tab 2 7" that was rooted and had Candy5 loaded on it. BB gave me the $100 in the form of a gift card that is then applied to the price of the Tab S2. Works for me.

My Tab S2 display & performance is such an improvement over the old Tab 2 that it is well worth it. The Tab 2 was worth about $20.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steevo86:
So i was thinking of buying the s2 8 inch tablet. I mostly want it for movies and games, will it be great for this. I hav read that the new ratio wont work wel with this. So should i buy the new s2 or the old s 8.4?

Like every 4:3 tablet this is not a movies tablet.

pick a 16:9 or 16:10 tablet with front speakers.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaniëlOosterhuis:
I have read a bit up on this, but am not 100% sure, so I decided to ask here. My apologies if this has been answered before, I couldn't find it.

I got a Asus ZenFone a few weeks back. As a massive Asus/Intel fanboy, this seemed like the phone for me.

Next to its hardware manufacturers, it had massive specs for a relatively small price. The few cons with it wouldn't really be a problem for me, so I went and looked for it.

Unfortunately, I live in the Netherlands, which means that I cannot get an ASUS ZenFone 2 straight from a store. I asked ASUS, but they informed me that they did not have concrete plans to release the ZenFone 2 in the BeNeLux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, for those unfamiliar with that acronym).

So, then I went and looked on eBay, and found an Italian seller selling a 4GB RAM model for 300 euros including shipping. I went on and purchased, but forgot to look at the Atom model number.

This wasn't the Z3580 2.3GHz model, but the slower Z3560 1.8GHz. I did not know of there being a 4GB RAM version with a slower CPU, and still am not sure about it.

Anyways, I received it after I got it from their English warehouse (why that is, don't know). It had the CN firmware version on it (also not mentioned in the ad), which I had to flash to get the WW version.

I really don't like flashing phones, as I have had a phone die on me while updating it with the official software. Anyways, did that succesfully, and decided to root it while I was at it.

So far, it's been a damned smooth phone, and I have absolutely no gripes with it. But I still am not sure if this actually has 4GB. Android reports it, and AnTuTu does too, but with no programs on, I still can only get 1,5GB RAM available. Is that normal? Does AnTuTu see through fake specs? And if not, what can I do to verify it? Remember, I rooted the phone and thus can use tools to do so that require root. If you guys have any idea, I'd love to hear it! :good: :)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
Yeah, the ZF2 uses a lot of RAM even when idle.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aceazzay:
You can download 3c toolbox and look at the memory manager. It will show you the total ram size and what apps are using it currently.

Or you can just look under running apps in your phone settings. For my 2GB model I normally have at most only have 800mb ram available. It's just the way android optimize ram.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiroX:
I have the 4GB/1.8GHz model. It's a thing.

Also the stock ROM is kinda bloated so yeah, that's about right for the free RAM.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaniëlOosterhuis:
Thanks! Just wanted to be sure. Even though it uses quite a bit of RAM, I haven't noticed any slowdowns as of yet, still going smooth. Really liking this phone and not minding the slower CPU, this is plenty powerful!
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeljko1234:
[MENTION=6924368]DaniëlOosterhuis[/MENTION] Could you post your battery stats? And comment battery performance in general? Is Android os/system still on the top of the list?

In another battery related topic it was kind of idea that only Z3580 2.3GHz 4GB has that problem. I'm wondering does it make any sense. And if yes, what's the problem, amount of RAM or CPU.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaniëlOosterhuis:
I haven't done serious tests, nor do I often do intensive tasks, I usually pull the phone out of the charger at 6:30(AM), keep it in my pocket and use it for an hour or two/two and a half in total, and put it back on charge between 15:00-17:00 (3-5PM), with the battery still being above half. I do turn the screen down as much as possible though, inside with normal lighting I can survive on lowest brightness fine while retaining functionality. I probably should throw some tests at it, when I get time.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeljko1234:
Huh, your phone is charger most of the time. Could you make some tests during weekend? What you can do immediately, post your batter stats. Just to see is it Android os/system still on the top.

Thanks for answer, btw :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] markanthonyjohn:
Hasn't even been 2 weeks and the screen cracked. I have had an Incipio Dual Pro case on it since I got the phone. Today I dropped it literally 2 feet from the ground and it wasn't a hard fall and the screen cracked. I am beyond disappointed. In 15 years of phones I have never cracked a screen. Anyone have any ideas? Is it possible to replace a screen on this? Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Android_Fr3ak:
Did you have a screen protector on it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] markanthonyjohn:
Unfortunately, no. I have never used them before and never needed to (I have dropped phones before and never had any issues with the screen). I guess I will be using them going forward if I get another Note.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] JasonJoel:
I've seen plenty of phones that had cracked screens worth screen protectors. Personally, I don't think they prevent screen cracks at all... Scratches, yes, cracks, no.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] SwordOfWar:
I'd call samsung and find out what your options are. Obviously you're going to pay some money if its not covered under insurance, but with a 800$ phone, it would be worth paying to get fixed in my opinion. Around where I live there are places in the mall that would repair broken screens, but given how new this phone is it may be difficult to find a place like that with a high quality repair.

I haven't received my case in the mail yet, but the phone feels so damn nice it's a shame to have to cover it up.

Honestly if this is your first time in 15 years of owning phones to have a cracked screen, I'd say thats a fantastic record and you shouldn't feel too bad. Everyone has had a cracked screen at one point or another. Just get it repaired. There is no way you'd want to go on using the phone for a year or longer with a cracked screen, given how nice this phone is.

My suggestion for a case is to get one of the ones that wrap all the way around the phone with the front cover flip. They are not as convenient obviously, but in my opinion they are the ONLY cases that offer real screen protection. Back-only cases or even plastic/glass covers over the screen are simply not shock resistant enough if the screen manages to hit the ground first. Even back-only cases with raised bezels around the screen won't do you any good if the screen lands on an uneven surface (like rough pavement) because all it takes is one rock near the middle of the screen to destroy it after a drop.

Have samsung repair it if possible, and stick to a flip case for protection all the way around the phone, including the screen. I've had a lot of phones get cracks,scratches or dents ever since I moved to touch screen phones, and the only one I managed to keep for over a year without any damage was my HTC ONE MAX with one of the flip style cases like I mentioned. They can be a little bit of a pain to get use to at first, especially when wanting to take pictures with the camera, but the added protection over the screen is worth it in the long run in my opinion. That or invest in insurance, because this phone has glass all over it and is basically guaranteed to get some damage/cracks if it's ever dropped.

Repairing your own phone can be about more than just the money!

Repairing your own phone can be about more than just the money!

I dropped my phone and cracked the screen. I sent it to Samsung for repair. When I got it back, a week later, the left side of the home button was failing to work about 10-25% of the time. I sent it back to Samsung and the replaced the screen/LCD once again. They sent it back to via UPS on the 11-17-2015. Then it was into the New Orleans terminal on 11-18-2015 and scheduled for delivery on Thursday th 19th. It wasn't delivered. I contact UPS on Friday the 20th and was told to contact the Shipper (Samsung). I contacted Samsung and was told they would file a claim with UPS and would have the issue resolved within 8 days!! I asked the service rep why in the world would they not just go ahead and supply me with another phone? He said their protocol required them to file the claim with UPS and they wait for the UPS investigation into the missing package to be completed. I asked him had he ever heard of an investigation into a missing phone shipment result in the phone being found. He absolutely would not answer that question!! :)

I really, really wish I would have replaced the screen myself now!!!!! At this point I've been without my NEW Note 5 for 7days - first repair, 7 more day's - second repair and 4 days, and counting, lost/stolen during shipment. Luckily I did not sell my Note 3 after purchasing the Note 5.

Lesson learned. :mad:
