[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Data can't be empty otherwise android wouldn't even boot.

Something has to be in there.

Which file manager are you using?

Are you absolutely sure the boot.img got patched? Does it show it being patched in the script output?

I have just tried this by modifying the supersu v2.6.1 zip so I could flash systemless on a stock samsung 5.0.2 and it worked fine.

Can you try flashing v2.61 again then using the twrp file manager copy /tmp/recovery.log to the sdcard then post it, so I can examine it?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nbay64:
I'm using ES File Explorer, but when I go into /data, it says it's empty.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
OK, just a couple of things.

You should never post full logs on a forum, post the actual file or post the output on pastebin and put the link here.

Second the log you have posted does not include the supersu install.

You need to save the log immediately after flashing without rebooting.

You may as well remove the log as it contains no useful info.

Can you do it again, this time straight after flashing supersu?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nbay64:
Just flashed it again and saved the recovery log. Here you go: http://pastebin.com/fAufmsZW
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Everything looks OK. Seems like the boot.img was patched.

Did you enable the root explorer option in Esexplorer settings?

If you didn't this maybe why the folders show as empty.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nbay64:
I can't enable root mode. It tells me that my device is not rooted whenever I try to enable it.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
V2.62 is out. I sent him your recovery.log. He said try it out and report back.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nbay64:
Good news and bad news. The good news is that v2.62 installed successfully. The binary is installed and everything is working as it should be.

The bad news is that Google Play Movies still isn't working.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk806:
Cool. The DRM (OMX) is a pain, and not sure why it's so complicated. This should save me some time and agony.

Thanks!

Since the lack of support for the Motorola with Moto Maxx would be possible to carry the 5.1 firmware Droid Turbo ( XT1254 ) already with the correction of stagefright for Moto Maxx ( XT1225 )? :(

Stagefright is already fixed on all custom 5.1.1 ROMs for the XT1225. You have 4 ROMs to choose from...

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayblo:
Hi

For some reason my s4 mini is loosing wifi.

Showing also a message while using the phone as hotspot that its switching back to wifi

Wifi also turned off itself

Does anyone have this also.

Its running the regular firmware not rooted and no special apps on the phone.

Could it be a problem from Ants?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00193:
anyone else seeing the laggy and jumpy rotating dot when using the stopwatch on stock google clock app?

what is that? poor coding of the software or cpu/gpu settings?

i tested stock M and also stock based Cataclysm rom and same thing on both with default kernel settings, nothings changed.

anyone knows how to fix it? i knows its just a little thing but its really annoying.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patmw123:
Why don't you just download timely? It works great and its an app/team of developers that have been acquired by Google. I don't even use the stock app.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckarrow2:
Running stock M. I just tested all of the functions of Google Clock and all is smooth as butter.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00193:
ill give it a try but the reason i was pissed was that i thought to myself maybe theres an issue with the phone's hardware or even a software(kernel) issue.

thats what i was worried about, did you try to set lap;s every couple of seconds? cause the circling dot appears after you set lap's.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul1201:
I'm on stock marshmallow and noticed the same thing when I just tried the timer and lap function.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00193:
thanks for reporting, least im not alone.

also tried the Timely app and it has no lag whatsoever, in fact it has much more animations in the background along with the circling animation so its definitely not the phone; just poorly written codes in Clock app.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] accudetuner:
I have some questions about encryption and quite possibly a problem that I need to sort out.

T-Mobile Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T)

Android 5.1.1

Rooted (SuperSU)

Philz Touch CWM Recovery

BlissPop Rom v3.2-klte-official (based off of CM 12.1)

Kernel (default BlissPop) 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-ge28a1c5-dirty

Baseband G900TUVU1FOG6

Prior to rooting, the device was all stock, and I had encryption for BOTH the phone and the SD card. I unencrypted both device and card before making any changes.

After successful rooting and ROM change, I wanted to encrypt the device again, so I did and it processed successfully (through the default "Security" section within settings). Unfortunately SD card encryption is not an option on this new ROM and if I remember correctly, it is CM 12.1 that does not allow SD card encryption, which makes sense why it's not an option. So I have the DEVICE encrypted, but not the SD card.

Even though the encryption went smooth, the ROM kinda "hiccups" a little when you first boot it. It shows the splash screen, then asks you for the encryption password, then it acts like it re-boots after entering the password, goes through an optimizes apps EVERY boot, but then it does boot into the OS and everything seems to be functioning fine. It's just the odd boot sequence that doesn't seem quite right.

I would really like encryption for BOTH device and SD card, so I was going to try a different ROM (open to suggestions if you know of a good one for speed, battery life, and encryption capabilities). I've run into a problem that I CANNOT UNENCRYPT THE DEVICE. In the "Security" section in settings, it now only TELLS ME "The device is encrypted" but it does not provide any way to unencrypt it, or to make any changes at all. This seems like it could be a lot of problems for me down the road.

The main questions and issues -

1.) How do I unencrypt the device to use a ROM that allows device & SD card encryption natively?

2.) Do I even need to unencrypt it to try different ROMs? I always figured better safe than sorry, so I I've always kept encryption off when messing with things?

3.) Is there a good solid ROM that is fast, good on the battery, and allows full device/SD encryption natively?

4.) Have I screwed myself over, or is there still hope for getting this sorted out?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] accudetuner:
UPDATE:

I updated to BlissPop 4.0.3 official ROM without any issues right through recovery. I am aware that I was only able to do this because the external SD card is not encrypted and if it was encrypted I'd have to use ADB sideload, setting up a temp dir and storing the files to be flashed there, or some other external method to flash files.

My questions about suitable ROMs that allow encryption of both the device and external SD remains. Does anyone know of a ROM that natively allows this? So far I have not been able to find one. Either they only support device encryption, or no encryption, but I haven't found one that supports both yet.

Also, my question about how to go about unencrypting the device still stands too. I cannot do it within Settings>Security>Encryption. It let me use that to encrypt the device, but won't let me unencrypt it using that method. No enc./unenc. options in Philz Touch CWMR, so I'm not quite sure where to go from here.

Thanks in advance for your input!

I was attempting to Re Root, then upgrade to Fire OS 5 dev and while doing so, I was doing the reboot after flashing the OS, G Apps, Framework and the original recovery and when I attempted to turn it on after that, Nothing! Nothing appears on the screen??

Anyone got any Ideas?

Sounds like a brick.

When I plug it in, It Makes the computer register it as some random boot loader or something, and then disconnects!

Like seriously!

=(

Help?

It comes up as:

MT65xx Preloader

That's a Bootloader for installing system images right?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriscsh:
the only way is call amazon and get your replacement

if your device still in warranty

:P
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacobwitt:
Could I Do what the other people are doing and claiming the developer Preview broke it?

That is questionable.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriscsh:
yes, u can

i told amazon, i brick my device after update the develope preview

after some question, they give me a replacement :P
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacobwitt:
Done it, Getting my replacement Tuesday.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacobwitt:
UPDATE

I've gotten 1, It was a Kid's Edition, Had to replace it again. Then I got one Thursday. Works great :)

Had like 2 updates 4.5.1 -> 4.5.3 -> 4.5.5

I Honestly don't plan to root this thing again due to the fact that I'm prob's selling it.

Now, do they look through these things, Like in their internal memory?
[Samsung Gear S2] obsydian:
Is the timing of the respective countries releasing the new Gear as haphazard as their software updates.

In particular looking for a UK release date and actual prices in £s not the conversions being quoted.
[Samsung Gear S2] jah:
Pre order in the UK on 29th October for availability for 12th November. S2 will be £249 and classic £50 more.
[Samsung Gear S2] obsydian:
Good to see a date, although no clear when they ship - still stupid to launch a marketing campaign for something you could not even buy or pre order.
[Samsung Gear S2] jah:
http://m.androidcentral.com/samsung-opens-galaxy-studio-london-showcase-gear-s2

Official information about UK availability
[Samsung Gear S2] obsydian:
As always no information on the Samsung uk website
[Samsung Gear S2] obsydian:
More pricing confusion of the good variety though.

[Samsung Gear S2] Cryps:
Release seems to be late in the UK for this?? You can always order from amazon.de using your same account info... Just a thought.
[Samsung Gear S2] N4KA:
I am planning on getting one from amazon (US) and use it here in Europe.

Will there be any issues?

It's not like a phone where you have different bands - so I guess it should be no problem. But I also don't want to through 300 bucks out off the window.
[Samsung Gear S2] Cryps:
The US version runs on a different firmware. Noticable differences are lack of different language support (OK if you're English or Spanish I guess?) and temperature is displayed in F and not C. Firmware updates may also be an issue...
[Samsung Gear S2] N4KA:
Thanks.

Only English wouldn't be a problem. Fahrenheit could get annoying.

Is there a way to change firmware? Why should updates be an issue (US are always the first to get it)?
[Samsung Gear S2] jah:
Cool thanks for the tip.

Release seems to be late in the UK for this?? You can always order from amazon.de using your same account info... Just a thought.
[Samsung Gear S2] ishp:
I imported one from amazon.com. Got here real quick and actually works out more expensive then what you will be paying in the UK. I can confirm that asking for weather reports always brings back results in Fahrenheit. One side note S-voice is terrible compared to android wear voice search.
[Samsung Gear S2] apprentice:
I just bought a Gear S2 classic from Clove UK. About £20 more than Samsung online but Samsung won't dispatch for another fortnight. I like the watch but I think I will return it and carry on using my Gear S.

Thanks I've ordered from Clove. Cancelled Amazon.de order
[Samsung Gear S2] apprentice:
Glad to help.
[Samsung Gear S2] jah:
Any info on delivery of your Classic?
[Samsung Gear S2] obsydian:
I ordered the Classic via Samsung with a voucher SAMUK5 for 5% off and possibly Quidco 8% - says card would not be billed until they confirm shipment but already charged my card !!!
[Samsung Gear S2] obsydian:
Benefit of going Samsung direct is if it really is as crap as I think then it will be getting returned.
[Samsung Gear S2] jah:
Excited as my one due to arrive tomorrow.
[Samsung Gear S2] obsydian:
Anyone seen the new LG Urbane specifications it has LTE calling by all account to become a Google feature.

Well done Samsung once again you cooked up.
[General Questions and Answers] CerberusSco:
My first post, so please be gentle. I also hope I've posted in the correct forum, apologies if I haven't.

I have been trying to debrand my Xperia Z5 today from 3UK Firmware to Custom UK Firmware. I've had a really bad and a really long day. I am worried about my Xperia Z5. I have no idea what happened during debranding, but everytime I switch on my phone now, I get an error, "The software update failed. Please make sure your phone is connected to the computer and try again". :(

Any help would be much appreciated

-Edit-

Managed to update Flashtool, so edited post accordingly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
As reported on CNET....Verizon will raise the cost of the Unlimited Smartphone Data Plan from $30 to $50 per month starting in mid-November.

However....Verizon also said they will no longer throttle users who retain their unlimited data plans....AND will no longer require payment in full when you get a new phone...you can now go on a monthly payment plan if you desire.

http://www.cnet.com/news/verizon-promises-an-open-road-for-unlimited-data-customers/?ref=yfp

I don't know about others...but I WILL keep my unlimited data, it's still cheaper than their 12GB tiered plan and I often go over that limit.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] lloydsw:
Yeah, not too happy about that. I knew the gravy train wouldn't last forever. I've had other 'grandfathered' VZW features suddenly go up in smoke.

If I had Sprint and/or Tmobile coverage where I live, i'd be bailing to Project FI
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jamor414:
Just do the Best Buy trick and you can get a discounted phone under contract for another 2 years at the grandfathered $29.99. They don't raise your rate until you're out of contract.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
The Best Buy trick has been killed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jamor414:
Thanks for the heads up. I was recently told about it and that it works. Guess he's wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
Verizon no longer does contracts nor does it subsidize new phones. Both were part of the Best Buy trick.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] billku:
Actually, I just did the best buy trick last week. It absolutely still works. Verizon no longer subsidizes phones for new customers, but if you are were an existing customer before they did away with subsidized phones, you can still get a subsidized phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jamor414:
Yea billku is right. If you go on Best Buy you can still buy subsidized phones with a contract with Verizon. So the tricks still works.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] psychedelicNerd:
What is this trick?

Sorry for sounding ignorant, but what is this trick?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jamor414:
Well people with unlimited like to buy subsidized phones from Best Buy because it allows them to pay the subsidized cost instead of full retail while still keeping their data. The only downside is that it puts you into a 2 year contract with Verizon. Recently, however, this downside has turned into a massive upside. Starting November 15th your unlimited bill increases $20 per month for off-contract customers. If you lock into a contract before November 15th, your bill won't increase $20/month for another 24 months. The trick is to buy the phone online from best buy, throw away the sim card they give you, insert your current sim card, and you still have unlimited with a 2 year contract. But if you use the best buy sim card you lose unlimited forever.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ucsdsig13:
Nice summary. I'm still debating whether or not to do this. Is there any risk that you might lost unlimited data?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LTLFTCer:
Is this increase confirmed though? They stated that current unlimited users will be notified after Oct 15th, and I have yet to be notified. I went into a Verizon corp store last week and even the employee did not hear about this. Not that you can believe what they say 99% of the time though, but regardless.

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ----------

There is always a risk. I would say, if this increase is true, I will try the BB trick before all is said and done. If they increase me, I will leave Verizon and go back to ATT. Around here I have better service with indoors with ATT anyways. All in all, they have just made things way too expensive now a days with non-sub phones (which I agree with) but the costs of line connections and everything else is stupid.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] vexx109:
So all one would need to do is Buy a phone on Bestbuy's website and throw away the sim and use the old one? and you keep your old data plan? (reason i'm asking is because right now the Galaxy s6 edge is only 50 on contract)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LTLFTCer:
Pretty much. Search the slickdeals threads for other instructions. Thanks for the heads up. If the increase deems true I will pick up two of these at $50.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] vortmax:
Could I then reactivate my Note 3 (if I buy the S6 edge) and then sell it? Or does it have to stay activated on the account for a time period?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LTLFTCer:
I am no expert on the subject (yet), lol, but it looks like many activate the new phone then sell it. The acct is tied to the SIM, not the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jamor414:
Bilku I just went to the Best Buy website and it says that you have to choose one of the tiered plans because unlimited is no longer available. What is the updated method for dealing with this or were you able to pick "existing" at the time?

edit: just got this answer in another forum is this what you did?:

"Actually they don't make you choose anything.. They just tell you you'll be shifted to the default 2gb for 30 bucks tiered plan. Just acknowledge it and do the sim switch"
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jimhois:
I've had my same verizon plan for years. Hate that they can upcharge for udp. Does this still work? Other than the Note 3, which phone can I hotspot with a removable battery?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LTLFTCer:
They can because they are Verizon. I bit the dust and went with a V10 upgrade last night. Gave the wife my Note 3, upgrading her from a Note 2. I like it, runs smooth, nice screen, everything works well, and with the promo of battery, 200gb card and charger, I couldn't pass it up. I don't like losing UDP, so went with the 18gb plan. With a 22% discount, same as 12 anyways.

I believe hotspot is "free", but haven't tried it yet.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] vortmax:
Did anyone else try the BB method with success? jamor414? On a side note, I just got a replacement Note 3 (my old one stopped charging) and it actually had 4.4.2 on it! Pleasantly surprised...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] lloydsw:
Sadly my Note 3 was stolen while I'm cruising so I can't even do the sim switch. Now I'm trying to decide whether to grab something off Swappable or throw myself onto mercy from VZW. Don't want to loose unlimited!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jamor414:
I've read a few success posts so far. I haven't tried it myself though. I was waiting for the V10 to come to Best Buy but time is running out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ucsdsig13:
Another option is to call VZW and ask them to apply the loyalty 100 minute or 100 text promo to your plan. It will extend your contract for 1 year and you'll be able to avoid the $20/month increase for unlimited data.

I called this morning and the CSR was successfully able to add the promotion. Checked My Verizon and my account, which had been out of contract since 2013, was now under contract until 10/27/16 (rep backdated the promo to match my billing cycle date). Promo is listed as:

LOYALTY 100 MINS X 12MOS 1YR 10/27/2015	10/27/2016
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] profman03:
Thinking about giving this a whirl...

Anyone use the Best Buy trick within the last week? The V10 has multiple promotions going right now. Through BB you get a 24" LG TV and through LG you'll get a 200g SD card, extra battery and battery charger.

Is there anyway to put the rest of my family on one of the new tiered plans while keeping me on unlimited?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Bad Bimr:
Does the best buy trick still work? I have a family plan with 4 lines and unlimited data on all lines. Can I use the Best Buy trick on just ONE line or do I need to do it on all 4 lines?

Thanks

BB
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] vexx109:
all four lines. because the other three won't be under contract so they can hike those ones up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] vortmax:
BB has the Note 5 for $49.99...anyone gonna bite and see if they keep their unlimited?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] djshaff:
Should work if it has replaceable sim card. I would be more concerned about having unlocked boot loader available which is unlikely though I have no idea. And of course at the least, root access.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] vortmax:
Should vs. does can be quite different.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Primevyl:
what about the bill?

if you did the BB trick and your bill remained 29.99 does that only work if done before 11/15?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
Correct...unless you're on a contract (very doubtful) then it *should* work until your contract ends. Or until Verizon closes that loophole so you can't renew your current contract if you still have unlimited data. I still have unlimited data...but have been off contract for over 2 years.

And I paid full price for my Note 3 two years ago.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] HoshiH:
is there a way to activate the verizon hotspot on stock Note3 without paying the extra $29.99 since verizon jacked up the price to 49.99 now.
