[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitelinko:
Hey guys, so I just gave my Nexus 5 (Android 6.0, not rooted or tempered with; only updated OTA) to my dad. Up until this point I have been using apps like Skype, Viber and Facebook's Messenger voice calls via a headset. However, my dad is now trying to use them without a headset - just using the device. What happens is that if he is in a loud environment, like while driving a truck for example, he hears the other person very quietly and the other person only hears a deafening whooshing noise (probably from the truck). If you try using the apps in a quite environment the calls are crystal clear for both sides. I am thinking that this may be a problem with noise cancellation or something similar. However, there are no such settings in Android, nor in Skype/Viber/Messenger. I remember having some issues with the mic on top back on KitKat, but I thought Google fixed it. Please let me know if you know anything relevant to this issue.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakuth:
Hi All,

It's been quite a few years since I last rerooted a phone - I've found I just didn't really need to with Nexus devices, but since the next Nexuses don't have wireless charging, I've decided to pick up a Note 5.

It's a good phone, I really like it so far, but there are enough things niggling me about it, I think I will root this time. If anyone can provide advice on any of the following list I'd really appreciate it!

1. I see Dr Ketan's thread on the matter (http://xdaforums.com/note5/general/how-to-root-note-5-t3205073) which seems doable, and as complex as I remember. Has anyone tried one-click rooting and can comment on reliability? I'm all for just getting easy root access... For reference I have the SM-N920I. I also see "tripping Knox" a lot, but I have no idea what the means. Last person I asked said "I can't say if that is a good or bad for your specific situation" which makes me think they didn't understand my question.

2. I don't like TouchWiz. It's OK, but I much prefer stock, or, what I'm doing at the moment: Action Launcher 3. I prefer the stock dialer, and the stock quick menu (when you pull-down notification bar). Can I flash a stock ROM onto the Note 5? I mean, not stock-like like the popular MODs (Cyanogen for example) but something that is practically stock? I may end up going with something like Cyanogen, but I'd just like to know what's out there along those lines.

3. Having said that I don't like TouchWiz, and might install a new ROM, there are many things I do like about this device's interface: The SPen's overlay/menu is handy. The fact it brings up a notepad-like app if you pop the SPen out when the screen is off, one-hand mode (note: I have found an XPosed Module for this), the fingerprint scanner, the camera app, the S Planner app, the Home button shortcuts (single click->home; double-click->camera; triple-click->one handed mode) ... all things I assume I'll lose if I flash away Touch Wiz. However, perhaps I can get some (or all) of these things back? If so ... how? e.g. It looks like one-handed mode could be acheived with an XPosed module, and the home-button shortcuts with a launcher (I think Action Launcher can over ride this...)

4. Always listening Google Now. At the moment I have fingerprint scanner lockscreen security, always listening S Voice, and Google Now "from any screen." It... kinda works. But I can't see any reason why Google Now shouldn't just be always listening, and using a Trusted Voice allow me to throw voice commands at my device at any time. At the moment only S Voice is always listening... and even if I have the screen on, trusted voice doesn't seem to be able to get through the fingerprint security anyway. Ironically if I ask S Voice to launch Google Voice Search... it ploughs through in that scenario. Ultimate goal: Have Google Now always listening, and use Trusted Voice to get past the lockscreen, which would typically be secured with a fingerprint scanner.

If you can answer, or provide feedback on any of these queries, it'd be much appreciated!
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apd:
1. Rooting is easy on the 920I. Just follow the instructions. As for tripping Knox, Knox is a security system which you may or may not use. Many don't but some people and enterprises do. Knox is also required for Samsung Pay which is currently rolling out. As soon as you root Knox will be disabled and a flag will be tripped which cannot be reset - thus once you root, that is that. Whoever said that they don't know whether you use Knox was absolutely right. The most obvious case is that if you want to use Samsung Pay, don't root.

Two things: when you root, make sure you backup your EFS. Also have a look around for which kernel you are going to install. I use arter 7.0 at the moment.

2 and 3. Experiment with other launchers and see what you like. I don't like touchwiz but I do like the spen integration. Same for ROMs - have a good look around before you root to see what you like. I prefer Dr ketan L3 but it's all personal choice.

I'm not really sure what happened here, but I just rebooted a few minutes ago and the icons on the right side of my status bar (i.e. mobile data, WiFi, battery) are suddenly dimmed gray. I'm pretty sure I didn't make any changes to the system. How can I fix this?

On my Kaiser I only can see the 3g sign - but when I change into data traffic it differentiates between 3g und HSDPA.

My TYTN showed me before I went into the data connection if I`m in a 3g or H (SDPA) area - is there a tweak or something which I can do to change this =

[ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers] motolio:
Now that the zmax 2 is out (and f**king rocks), can we get a separate forum? It comes with 5.1, and many tricks and tips will not work until development is focused. Zmax 1 root doesn't work, for instance. I've come across numerous zmax2 posts simply being disregarded, or told "this is a zmax 1 forum only".... Basically, zmax 1 posters also want zmax 2 posters to stop invading their space with irrelevant questions that only pertain to the zmax 2..... Can we do this?

Thanks for consideration in advance ?
[ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers] bernsmonke:
Agreed that a thread and forum is needed. I've had this phone for 2-3 weeks and used to have the original ZMax. I have tried rooting using Kingroot, Kingoroot, Framaroot, and Vroot but no go for now. Would love to get this phone rooted. Lollipop runs well, camera is great, battery is removable, supports SD card. Unfortunately no OTG but an awesome 5.5" phone for the money.

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
It was confirmed by those using the international version that LG put the smart screen option back after the omission of it on the G4. I do not have the option on my V10 under any of the settings.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swizzle82:
Sucks.. I knew it.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
Kind of bummed. One of the main reasons I bought this was on the good faith that it had Smart Screen. After using the phone for the past 6 hours, I won't say its a deal breaker, but its definitely disappointing and I have no clue why LG scrapped it, unless they were sued by Samsung and have no choice.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swizzle82:
The only thing that MIGHT be the case is that it is enabled on the international version and not others. The Verizon G4 for some reason had the smart screen app installed but didn't actually work. Never could figure out why.. If someone saying the function was working could post a video or something to confirm.. If it is working maybe we can port it over once we obtain root.. [MENTION=608699]wolfgart[/MENTION] said it was there, maybe he can post a video.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swizzle82:
Just decompiled the lge framework res and it allows me to enable it. Same as G4, but without a properly working wise screen apk it won't work. I didn't see the apk in the korean system pull either. Once we have root I'll test this one Ive modded. It should give us the option in settings to use it, but like I said doubt it will work without a new apk built for this device..

I'm talking about the setting that detects your eyes and keeps the display on.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfgart:
on my F600K
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
Thanks Wolfgart, we all have that setting. The LG G3 under Display's advanced tab had a setting called Smart Screen that made the front facing camera detect your eyes and the screen would never shut off until you looked away. Samsung has a similar feature, maybe the sued LG or something, the G2 and G3 had it, the G4 and V10 do not.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfgart:
using smart lock you can unlock device simply looking display. V10 it recognize your face and unlock
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
Yeah the feature isn't for unlocking. I'll give you an example if you don't mind. Set your phone screen to time out after 30 seconds. Then don't touch the screen or do anything for that 30 seconds and see if the phone turns off. With Smart screen, if you just stare at the phone you can set the screen timeout for 30 seconds and it will never shut off until you look away and in 30 seconds it shuts off.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbotoe:
I know exactly what you are talking about. I actually did not see it in the ATT version either. I know sometimes they omit it from different carriers but yet to see it on any US version....Its a useful feature for reading!
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
I swear Samsung must have sued them. No reason to leave it out of the G4 and V10.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbotoe:
Won't be surprised lg kinda copy them a bit lol...
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swizzle82:
I tried everything to get this working on the G4 with no luck. I always got error requested preview size 960x720 not supported in my logcat. It could be something to do with them going to 64bit. There is no lib for the wise screen in 64bit, but the camera libs and media libs are 64bit. I don't think they got sued over it, I just think they can't get it to work on 64bit yet or the changes they made to the cameras don't allow the size needed. It's the only explanation I can think of.

Tried it on the V10 and got same results.. No go unless someone smarter can figure it out.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] PaulaLonf0:
Hello, hope I come to the right place to ask my question. What do you often do with mobile phone SD memory card RAW file system error? Is it possible for me now to get my left photos out from that RAW memory card? Recently, I just cannot access my 16GB SD memory card of my mobile phone and inner stored photos since it keeps asking me to format no matter whether it try to use it on my digital camera or Samsung laptop. My friend just says it is detected as RAW file system on my PC and that’s why it needs formatting before any access. But, I really don’t know such memory card RAW file system error and don’t know whether the SD memory card RAW format error recovery software recommended by my friend really works for me, like

icare-recovery.com/howto/sd-memory-card-raw-file-system.html

or piriform.com/recuva

or cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec

How do you think about it? Is any related memory card data recovery software really needed? Can I just format this memory card and do rescue everything inside latter? Thanks for any suggestion here!

Hello Everyone,

I have decided to try flashing a custom rom on my samsung galaxy s4 (i9500), since I'm tired of waiting for further updates from Samsung.

Also, to fellow i9500 users, can you suggest what is the most stable (no battery drain issue) custom rom?

Thank you :).

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Ahh.. ok but why do you stop at 4.16.709.9 which is meant for Android 5.0.1 ?

Why don't you update all the way up to 4.24.709.3 which has all the needed files for Android 5.0.2 ?

Sky Dragon is Android 5.0.2, and 4.24.709.3 firmware is better. Anyway .. should not be a problem if you want to be on 4.16.709.9 firmware.

Also a thing to note, when Android 6.0 is released, you will still need to update from 4.16.709.9 to 4.24.709.3 before you can do OTA to Android 6.0
