[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Commonly asked questions for the Note 4 N910A. I am seeing these same questions asked over and over and over and over and over again.

1) Is there root available?

There is NO permanent root available.

Temporary root is available ONLY if your phone hasn't updated past firmware OC4.

2) Can I install [this ROM] or [firmware from another Note 4 model]?

NO! We have a locked bootloader still. The only thing you can flash is firmware made for this phone by Samsung/ATT.

3) Will Kingroot or Klingo root work?

See #1. Kingroot is how you do the temp root mentioned in #1.

4) My OTA update won't install! HELP!

See my other thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3226166

4) I'm not on ATT or not in the US, how do I update to the latest firmware?

See my other thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3226166

5) Will this phone ever be rooted?

I don't know. Let me use my crystal ball to look into the future. Oh wait! NO ONE CAN TELL THE FUTURE!!!

6) What? This phone isn't rooted yet or has had the bootloader unlocked? It's been a year since this phone has been released!

GTFO... NOW! Run as fast as you can. We will be in hot pursuit with pitchforks and torches.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siratfus:
Hi guys, a few years ago we purchased a box based on Android. It was made user friendly for older people to watch Chinese channels, it's not the famous TVPAD, it's something called an IPLAYER I5. Anyway, I don't think this company is providing anymore updates, and so its a nice paper weight now. However, it is android and it's 4.2.

I plan to use it for Kodi, but I'm just wondering about the future. Kodi now requires at minimum 4.2, which makes us okay. But what if this requirement is changed in the future? Is there a way to make my box current, like Android 5.0 at least?

BTW, who provide updates for a hardware? The hardware maker, or does the system automatically search for an update? I've never been clear about that. But since I did go to the updates to check for updates and it says none is available, then I'm guessing it's the hardware maker?

Thank you for your time!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yes it is the hardware oem that pushes updates. You could try building aosp for the device if you can find the kernel source and devices tree for that device. Depending in where the device came from that maybe easier said and done as some countries don't honor gpl laws so they never release kernel source.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birthday_flex:
purchased an 'EU' z5c from ebay

I was wondering why I cant get 4g signal only H+ when in 4g areas

I have read the only difference between the E5823 and E5803 is the cat 6/cat 4 lte, I dont really know what this means but I assume this might be the problem

4g is set to 'preffered' in network settings menu

network provider is Three

any ideas? :(
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Echts:
Have you contacted your service provider? might be that you are prioritized to use HSPA, they might have to do a reset on you in their system or just enable 4G etc?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birthday_flex:
The phone was purchased unlocked and I have been using my Three SIM card in another phone (GS3 LTE) previously and this had 4G signal no problem ... dont see why putting the SIM into a new phone would then change some setting on the network provider's side..

I will contact them anyway

very disappointing I fear maybe this EU version is blocking Uk 4g somehow

[ZenFone 2 General] Level99:
There's a bunch of threads about the bootloader unlock tool existing, not any real place to aggregate reports of problems with it. So, if you've attempted to unlock your bootloader using the official ASUS tool and are having problems, please post your situation.

Reported instances:

myself

DeathStolas

ASUS_Khang

Rattraps123

m3t4lw01f

creison

both are experiencing bootloader unlock limbo. The tool seems to have worked, but going into fastboot shows two progressive screens:

1) Unlock Successfully reboot in 5 seconds

2) FASTBOOT CMD WAITING...

RESULT: FAIL(can not mount the necessary partition)

Clearing the cache goes through the loop again. Mind you, this loop only happens when you're trying to get to the bootloader. If you go to recovery or normally boot, you won't have any issues.

However, any commands sent via fastboot fail, so the bootloader is still locked. Attached is an image of the second bootloader screen.

ASUS_Khang is already getting in touch with technical folks to investigate as well, but I figure it best to see if anyone else is having issues with the official tool.
[ZenFone 2 General] m3t4lw01f:
Having your device encrypted prevents the unlock tool from working it seems...had to factory reset then I could run it and it "worked".

I, too, have the Unlock Successfully reboot in 5 seconds message though, so at this point I'm hoping ASUS comes through.

EDIT: Now I am getting the:

FASTBOOT CMD WAITING...

RESULT: FAIL(can not mount the necessary partition)

Error when I reboot to the bootloader (I did nothing else, just used the phone for a bit and decided to try rebooting again).

If it matters, I did NOT have a PIN set on my phone when I ran the tool and it complained at me when running it, but allowed me to continue. Shot in the dark here that maybe that's related. Wondering if other people had a PIN or not when they ran and are having the same errors...

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aqua1ung:
Is it fair to say that Samsung has stopped competing when it comes to high-end tablets? It very much looks to me that, with the utterly underwhelming release of the Tab S2, it has all but admitted defeat in its war against Apple. What could be the motivation for this major disappointment? Could it be that behind this is the failed Qualcomm 810? Could that be it? Were Samsung relying on Qualcomm's SoCs, and when Qualcomm failed to deliver, they saw themselves forced to go with their older Exynos silicon?

Opinions and speculations welcome.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tubgirl:
In my opinion the Tab S2 is great... what made me ditch my iPad was because the S2 has a microsdxc-slot, 4:3-aspect ratio, amoled-screen and it's fast!! If any of these criteria hadn't been fulfilled I would still be using my iPad. LED-flash would have been nice though, but in my case it wasn't a deal breaker.

The only advantage the iPad still has (in my book) is lower audio latency for musicians apps.

Brgds...
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clubtech:
This !!

Excellent tablet for my needs and considering there are no other high end Android tablets to chose from you can either got with an iPad or get the S2 at the moment.

The nexus 9 which was suppose to be a high end machine was a serious flop, mostly by hardware.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aqua1ung:
I, for one, am yearning for a 4x3 Android tablet in the same vein as Microsoft's Surface4 (stylus etc.), though hopefully much less expensive.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolvus:
I also went from iPad to Tab S2. I hovered long between air 2 and Tab s2 but the android platform, amoled screen and microsdxc slot won against slightly better battery, iOS smoothness and faster processor.

Battery life has actually been better than expected due amoled blacks not eating charge and my use consisting plenty of video and reading in night mode. The weight and thinness are also a plus even though I didn't put much thought in them when considering which one to buy. I don't play games apart from Hearthstone which works perfectly so I don't feel that the tablet is lacking in speed at least in my usecase.

I even considered Touchwiz a minus for the tablet but this newest iteration is pretty snappy and not too intrusive. So all in all I'm positively suprised and happy that I took the risk from "safe" iPad air 2 and went with Tab S2.

Still not perfect but I wouldn't call it nowhere near a failure.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itchiee:
The only failure is everyone else gave up on making android tablets.... The s2 is the best one available so get off the rock.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsew745:
I really like my S2. I have the 8" SM-T710 wi-fi model. The amoled screen is very good quality for oudoor use. I purcased a Survivor by Griffin case for my S2. I inadvertantly tested it by dropping it from about 5 ft to a concrete floor. It survived eit no damage.

My S2 is my daily driver that has replaced my aging Acer laptop.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stateit:
I think it's a bit 'meh' too.

It's great having a 4:3 tablet, but the speakers are crap and there's no IR blaster (we use our phones a lot at home for controlling the TV).

I was expecting to it handle Samsung Pro Audio better for using it for creating music (it stutters every now and then as the processor isn't up to the job). At least we do now have a low-latency audio production method on Android, though.

I can just about get the fact it's battery is small, as the device is very thin and light - which I like when using it as for reading. Which I do a lot.

I still like it, but am fortunate enough to know I can afford to ditch it and get another device when a better device comes out.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] episode96:
I don't think Samsung has really used the highest possible SOCs on their tablets before, maybe I'm wrong.

I was quite pumped about the Tab S2 and ended up disappointed by it to the point where my mind was made not to buy it in the end. The bottom speakers and the lack of features Samsung tablets used to have (IR, vibration motor) are far from good things, but the deal breaker for me is ironically the screen. I love Amoled but I felt that 264 dpi on that screen is not good enough to justify the expense when text on my Tab Pro looks far better to me... and that should never be the case for an expensive tablet released almost two years later.

Anyway... on my wishlist for future devices there's now a Samsung clone of Google's Pixel C, 2560×1800 10.2″ with Amoled screen. A man can dream :)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stateit:
I'm a bit hacked off my Note 4 phone beats the S2 in Antutu. Which is also borne out in day-to-day 'feel' as well.

At 4:3 it does make a good e-reader and web device, but it is an expensive option for that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] quest1001:
I'm not sure if I am in the right place to ask this, but here goes.

I work for a land surveying company and we have been using a software called C&G to collect data out in the field. The software runs on a piece of hardware called a data collector. To be more exact, it is an Allegro CX made by Juniper Systems. The device is loaded with Windows CE .Net 4.20 along with a program called PocketDOS. The C&G program runs inside of PocketDOS. The software is SUPER old and the company is no longer around to support it. We have no desire to purchase a new software package as this one works just fine for what we need and everyone is used to it.

We have at least 8 licenses for this software, but the problem is, it is coded to register based on the serial number of the Allegro data collector. We have had multiple data collectors go bad, so we are looking to purchase more units, but we will be unable to register the C&G software on these units because the serial numbers will be different.

So my question is, can anyone help me modify the C&G program and make it so that it does not check the serial of the data collector? That way, we can purchase new data collectors and load the software (that we have rights to) on the new units. If the company were around to support the software, we would be able to call them and they would generate new registration codes.

I can send links to download the software, along with any DLLs you might need from the data collector.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time!
