[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trstew:
Just switched to a T-Mob SIM from Straighttalk on Z3 compact. Wifi will not turn off (not a sleep mode thing - don't care about that) at all - comes right back on by itself! I know if I call T-Mob, they'd just act dumb, plus how could it be carrier-related? Xperia support had me do a softboot, but didn't help...

Anybody have any ideas, (or perhaps a simple solution) for a newbie??
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eespanol:
I have the same issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] kevs888:
I'm all for consolidation, but there's something that keeps me from wanting to use Google Wallet and/or Samsung Pay.

I know that, specifically with Samsung Pay, they say their token system is even safer than swiping the actual card because of all the data located on the magnetic strip.

However, where is the original information stored when we first take a picture of our card? That image and the information we put in our phones must be stored somewhere, right? How truly secure is our data when we first put it in the Samsung Pay app?

My biggest fear is, wherever that storage location is, that our data will somehow get hacked in the future...

Thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] iScott78:
Well you don't have to take a picture of the card if you don't want to. You can manually add all your card info in. When I was accepted in the beta I just manually input my info. I have USAA so it didn't work, but I can verify that you don't have to take a pic.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] knightr:
I've been digging around a ton in this subject, and have still come up with more questions than answers. I'll start with some basic definitions.

Tokenization: The act of substituting sensitive information (in this case card information) with a non-sensitive token that references the sensitive information (maps back to sensistive information through a tokenization system. Reverse engineering the sensitive information is unreadable without access to the system. For Samsung pay, this token is device specific. A dynamic, one time use security code is also transmitted.

MST: Magnetic Secure Transmission. This method of payment emulated a card swipe by generating a magnetic field that the magnetic sensor in a card reader picks up. This method of payment, at least in my eyes, is a stop gap. Samsung claims that it still uses tokenization, but I am not sure that is possible. The magnetic field is rather weak, and strength and distance have an exponential inverse relationship. This means that the field is practically undetectable beyond 3 inches.

For NFC payments, Samsung utilizes basically the same technology as Apple Pay. No sensistive information stored anywhere, tokenization, one time security code handshake, etc. This is pretty much considered the most secure form of payment after cash. MST, on the other hand, is only as secure as swiping your card. To me, MST is not a long-term solution. Samsung Pay defaults to NFC if it detects the terminal support. It's a stop gap measure. One that allows the ease of use of mobile payments even where NFC/EMV terminals have not been adopted. It will slowly phase out in use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] kevs888:
Thanks for your replies.

I guess my main concern is not the security of when we're actually paying at a POS in a store...I'm wondering who stores the initial card information when we type/capture the information within Samsung Pay initially?

Samsung Pay touts that no sensitive information is actually stored on the phone when making a payment. However, that sensitive information has to be stored somewhere, right?

Maybe even on a broader scope, with Google Wallet, Android Pay, Apple Pay, and Samsung Pay, do they store our credit card information in their servers?

As secure as OUR transactions may be, if their systems get hacked with our initial information stored, we're in deep doo-doo. Call me paranoid, but with all these retailers and creditors getting hacked, I'm freaked out about having card information stored somewhere other than in my wallet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] knightr:
That sensitive information is stored exactly where it is currently stored: only with the financial institution. Samsung does not have access to your PAN, the device doesn't know your PAN. Only the card issuer's bank knows your PAN. With Samsung Pay, your device generates a device-specific token to use instead. The token is linked to the device, and so can only be used from that device. It is considered mathematically impossible to reverse engineer as it is generated randomly, and has no real attachment to the sensitive information it references.

Even in the case of the photograph setup. That image is never written to disk. It's held in RAM for the duration of it's life, then most likely just dereferenced (RAM is overwritten so frequently that you really shouldn't need to worry about remnants, although they might have chosen to overwrite the address space... I doubt it, though). The only way your card information is getting stolen is if the financial institution is hacked, and I'd imagine they pretty rapidly disable all cards if that were to happen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] kevs888:
That's a great explanation. Thanks for that.

What got me nervous was reading on Google Wallet that " All your financial information in Google Wallet is encrypted and stored on Google’s secure servers in secure locations."

Does this mean Google's methods are less secure (relatively speaking) than Samsung Pay?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] knightr:
With Google Wallet, Google (kind of) acts as the Token Vault, rather than leaving this to the banks' Tokenization Systems. When you put a card into Google Wallet, a virtual card number is generated. This virtual card number links to some Google cloud software payment system, which then routes the purchase through your actual card number. So yes, Google does store your actual card information encrypted somewhere, but doesn't transmit it.

While Google Wallet doesn't support banks' Tokenization Systems, Android Pay will. Google Wallet will more than likely deprecate support to add cards, and will be used as a front for your Wallet balance. I think the direction they are pushing Google Wallet is for money transfers between people (think Venmo and Paypal), while Android Pay will be their merchant payment solution.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] iScott78:
Im just going to stick with Android Pay. I am rooted so I can't use Samsung Pay anymore.

[Galaxy S6 Accessories] o2manyfish:
Hi Guys,

For the past year I have been using a Tylt Vu, and Itian Desktop wireless chargers with my S5 with the Samsung back.

Charging speed with both desktop stands was really good. And it charged the phone in a couple of hours.

I just picked up an S6 Active yesterday, and on both my stands it's barely charging.

The phone shows the charging symbol. The stands light up showing the phone is charging. But it's charging at a rate of about 2% an hour.... Totally not usable.

Am I missing some kind of a setting to get the chargers to kick into gear???

Thanks in advance for any help!

As topic says, I ****ed up the root and now im in a bootloop, I can get into the download screen, however.. I cannot get into the recovery screen where you can reset the phone.. I've tried 4 different firmwares and none of them works with odin. I live in Sweden and has Telia as a carrier if it matters. Please help me. I'm kind of panicing right now since this phone cost me over $1000

I have the "SM-G920F" And was using Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendall1004:
Don't flash a ROM using Odin, use TWRP.

Get the latest version, enter download mode and flash TWRP.

Reboot into recovery, do a factory reset and flash the ROM via TWRP.

Don't let the device do the first reboot itself, force it yourself immediately after successfully flashing TWRP (see info on above linked page also).

Good luck to you, don't worry, i had the same prob a few days ago; your phone's not bricked.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsimpe:
I had the same problem few days ago.

Just flash TWRP and go to recovery mode and flash custom ROM via TWRP if you still want it.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] super.glu:
Hey guys,

I'm currently running the COS 2.0.4 beta on my find 7 and tried the unified storage thing by using the partitiontool via adb.

Everything worked fine, now my App reserved memory is about 20gb. But now I have the problem that I can't save other files. Example: I tried to send whatsapp backups from my old phone to the whatsapp dir and it said there isn't enough space left.

Has anyone figured out a solution?

Thanks
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] AngryHapposai:
COS is not compatible with this unification method.

De-unify your phone and upgrade to v2.0.7 minimum. Then, use the "switch partition" option available in the settings.

Don't forget to backup your data.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] tifford:
Really, Samsung?

It seems like a glitch. I can only toggle snooze. When I tap Snooze (not the switch), it should take me to options where I can change the snooze length and how many times it repeats (like all their previous versions of the alarm/clock). But nothing happens other than switching the toggle.

Not a huge deal, but an unfortunate oversight. I've downloaded Google's Clock app for now.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] felicitysmoak:
Can't change snooze

I'm frustrated by the exact same thing. I cannot find a way to change the snooze time or how many times it repeats. IS this a bug or they simply do not give the option for this anymore?! :confused:

[Sony Xperia ZR] sachinss1979:
In Linux environment anybody can unsquash /system/ODEX.sqsh which contains odex for all stock apps edit the odex in accordance to apps uninstalled squash it back with right options & put it back in /system in recovery mode. I personally freed 100 mb from system partition.

What is new thing i found that possibility of new environment of read only file system by using squashfs to compress the directory & mounting it on boot
[Sony Xperia ZR] Jrobah:
kindly post a detailed method
[Sony Xperia ZR] itandy:
I think another option is to wipe dalvik and cache in recovery and let it regenerate all odex again.
[Sony Xperia ZR] jing000l:
no u cant do this by wiping dalvik,cause this file isnt in dalvic memory,its on system,so just open it in linux or some linux emulator in windows and remove odex files that u dont need and then push it to phone by adb or creat a flashable zip and flash by dual recovery.

by the way it cant add to your internal memory,just free some space to system .
[Sony Xperia ZR] sachinss1979:
As i mentioned earlier Sony applied new method of providing prepopulated odex in system.sin which includes odexes for all stock app you can see in /system/odexes where odex.sqsh is mounted. Even if you remove system app you can see odex in /system/odex. & most important if remove odex.sqsh in recovery & clear dalvik & cache when you reboot you will stuck in bootloop. Clearing dalvik & cache alone wont clear odexs of uninstalled stock app.
[Sony Xperia ZR] itandy:
You're right. I didn't notice you're talking about system apps. :p
[Sony Xperia ZR] sachinss1979:
first of all get system.sin for 5.0.2.

you can do it by renaming .ftf to .zip & extracting it.

Then use sin2raw or androxide flashtool to extract system.ext4.

Now Linux Part.

1) Install MKSQUASHFS 4.0 onward on your Linux machine. you can google it.

2) Mount System.ext4 image

3) Extract odex.sqsh then unmount system.ext4

4) in terminal using squashfs check the properties of your odex.sqsh & save it.

Unsquash odex. sqsh to odex

I used "unsuashfs -s odex.sqsh" command to check the properties.

In my case properties of odex.sqsh are as following,

Found a valid SQUASHFS 4:0 superblock on odex.sqsh.

Creation or last append time Sat Mar 14 09:00:00 2015

Filesystem size 316566.50 Kbytes (309.15 Mbytes)

Compression lzo

Block size 131072

Filesystem is exportable via NFS

Inodes are uncompressed

Data is compressed

Fragments are not stored

Xattrs are uncompressed

Duplicates are not removed

Number of fragments 0

Number of inodes 910

Number of ids 1

5) now open file manager with su. open odex directory delete removed stock apps folder only. Save it.

6) Squash it using "mksquashfs odex odex.sqsh (options of original odex.sqfs)"

In my case i used commandline

"mksquashfs odex odex.sqsh -comp lzo -b 131072 -noI -no-fragments -no-duplicates -noX"

7) Now copy it on your phone.

8) Boot your phone in recovery mode. Take your nandroid backup.\

9) Replace your /system/odex.sqsh with new one. correct the permissions to 0644.

10) Wipe dalvik & cache only. Reboot your phone & done.

will work with MM/ selinux ?

Hello,

have you repeated this with marshmallow ? In MM, you have to deal with selinux.

The files in sqsh (on my xperia M4) have selinux security context. I guess, you have to use linux with selinux enabled.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mastercraft:
Hi,

I got a phone from my friend to be fixed as it was just not booting up. The initial boot up screen was coming and going: "Samsung Galaxy Note II".

The phone is from Rogers Canada (unlocked) and the Model is SGH-i317M (Samsung Galaxy Note II)

I tried different things but it is stuck at "E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)" errors. I'm not sure if the error is due to some corrupted memory modules (or) due to some software issue. Also I'm not sure if the issue was caused by me (or) was there from before.

What I've tried is:

1) putting the TWRP (twrp-2.8.7.0-t0ltecan.img) and doing a complete wipe. Tried to install the ROMs but was not possible.

2) Tried to flash stock ROM (I317MVLUDNF3_I317MOYADNF3_RWC.zip) via ODIN ...says PASS! but phone is in the same state.

3) Tried to flash the stock ROM and "Re-partition" using the compatible PIT file found in one of the XDA threads: (i317-i317m-pit-files.zip : i317m.pit) via ODIN...says PASS! but the phone is in the same state.

...also did the (a) wipe data/factory reset (b) wipe cache partition ...during which the same errors { E: failed to mount } are thrown.

I'm not sure what the previous version of Android was on the Note II (or) any other information. I tried to flash it to the latest versions available for that model. From what I read at androidayos /samsung-galaxy-note-2-stock-firmware it says we should flash to the exact same stock firmware otherwise it won't work due to 'secured bootloader'. Should I try flashing now to lower versions of stock ROM and see something works?

Sorry can't post the image of the error but I try to type it out here:

--

Android system recovery <3e>

KOT49H.I317MVLUDNF3

Volume up/down to move highlight;

power button to select.

Hello all. I have been an xda member for a long time but kinda lost myself in the phone world. I have had a note 2 since it launch back 3-4 years ago.

It might have just been a bad day for signal reception, but would flashing a custom ROM (ICE in my case) affect or change the LTE bands used?

Thanks -

Update: same journey today and 4G reception is much better. I did use the LTE Discovery app and restarted the cell radio so it could be that or just a better day for reception. I'll keep and eye on it and see if it changes or degrades over time

I would still like to know if flashing a custom ROM could affect the radio
