[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris_c81:
Hi

Recently converted my European M8 EE branded (CID ORANG_01) to the DevEd (CID BS_US001) and adjusted the MID to the DevEd one (0P6B12000). Just in the process of updating to Marshmallow as I type. I have a question about recovery however. How do you know which stock recovery is the correct one?

So for example, once I had changed my CID/MID I had flashed a TWRP stock DevEd KitKat backup and also a stock recovery for the DevEd.

The question I have though is how to determine which stock recovery I should use? Like, do I choose a recovery that was relevant to what my handset used to be i.e. a European variant. Or do I now find the latest stock recovery for the DevEd, which, for all intents and purposes I have now converted too?

Or, will it matter at all once the Marshmallow OTA update is complete? Surely the OTA will update the recovery also?

Many thanks

Hi all,

Is there a way to disable automatic display of received text message?

I would just like to have a notification that sms is received. But not

from who and the actual message. I'll go to Outlook myself or click on

the notification to read it...

It's annoying if you have to leave the phone somewhere public.

Thanks for any advice!
[General Topics] omar302:
Go to settings > personal > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications Tab

For Messaging: New text message, uncheck "Display message on screen".

I bought my Gear s2 a couple of days ago and although it's working fine and giving me excellent battery life, my phone's battery life has become terrible. I used to get to the end of the day with 70% left but since I've installed the gear app, that's become 20% or less.

Nothing else has been installed in this time. I don't want to return my watch so can anyone please help?
[Samsung Gear S2] obsydian:
Same here lots of resets and refreshes decided to just get a rapid car and desk charger for work !!!
[Samsung Gear S2] sdmark:
Do you have location enabled (in the gear app) ? I would imagine that could do it. I have a oneplus one and don't notice a huge effect on mine.
[Samsung Gear S2] ckelly33:
I didn't notice any difference at all with my battery life on my S6 Edge (Verizon) which was surprising because before I never turned on bluetooth - and not it is on 100% of the time.

After the latest VZW update to the phone, battery life has been crap (for my son's too, and he doesn't have a smartwatch/use bluetooth).
[Samsung Gear S2] jutaejrtouch:
Espn app was killing my battery.
[Samsung Gear S2] Homey:
Cant find a GPS setting on the Gear app!

Any idea where its supposed to be?

Thx!
[Samsung Gear S2] sdmark:
Settings, individual app settings, weather, use location (is it enabled? Or refreshing too often?)
[Samsung Gear S2] Homey:
Thx!

It was turned on. Hopefully that will make a difference!
[Samsung Gear S2] Homey:
After 7 hours of being off, it's made no difference to the phone's battery life. Google play services and Android system seem to consuming a fair chunk of battery (7% each approx), but that's about it.

Guess I'll have to factory reset the phone and start re-installing each app to see if something else is responsible..
[Samsung Gear S2] jvloyola:
I was having the opposite: my waych battery was getting killed. The fix was to uninstall the gear app in my phone and to a reset on the phone. After reinstalling everything now all is working fine and my battery life is great
[Samsung Gear S2] Homey:
Yup, I can confirm that this works! Battery life much better now on the phone!
[Samsung Gear S2] nightf0x:
Some apps are poorly coded and misbehave with Bluetooth always on. My phone battery was draining quickly too after I got the watch cause now Bluetooth is always on. In the battery stats Gasbuddy never showed up but I could see that the phone was always awake and never went to sleep. After some googling I found out that gasbuddy can misbehave. I uninstalled gasbuddy app and it's back to normal.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oakvad:
I regret buying this phone every day I have it.

Verizon running 5.0.1

Anyone else have random reboots, erasing, reformat the SD card?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] blazednova:
I have never run into any issues at all on my phone, sounds like you should either get a replacement or a new phone altogether. I'm running verizon 5.0.1 too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] buhohitr:
I agreed 100%, 5.0 is so bad, I have to flash back to 4.4 which is definitely better,but still not up to the flagship standard Battery life is horrible even after I disabled 95% of the bloat ware. At least it less stutter than 5.0. Overall I am not happy with this phone. Now if we have unlocked bootloader, that would be a different story.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oakvad:
I can't even flash back! I will NEVER buy another Verizon branded phone again, nexus from here on out
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bbeelzebub:
Other than the screen, I pretty much hate mine. I'm not sure if it's the usual Samsung crap, Verizon's crap or I'm just sick of it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ericpbritt:
Same here. After the update this phone is a 5.7 inch turd. Overheats, battery life sucks and it goes black constantly. I hate this thing and Verizon. I will buy unlocked unbranded phones from now on.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] android-incredible:
No problem with this phone, running 5.0.1 no root... no lag,,no black screen, disable a couple bloatware, no SD card problem....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oakvad:
Why is it so hit and miss I wonder? I'm gonna try to take it to verizon and have them reflash it completely and see if that helps cause right now it sucks so bad I can't trust it to even be reliable. I'll be getting a nexus 6p come Feb so I might not even bother.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] patt2k:
Oh this phone lags like crazy many people just won't say anything about it lol this note4 was biggest mistake made.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oakvad:
It's just the Verizon version by the way. I know and have used the AT&T and tmobil ones and they are great! Fast, lag free smooth. Leave it to verizon to screw it up
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oakvad:
Just erased my entire memory card!!!!! AHHHH

plugged it into the computer to load some movies and it shuts off, powered back up and card is completely blank!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
that sucks. you sure it's not your card? my old samsung phones never liked SanDisk cards, and would always corrupt them. stopped using SanDisk in general and started using samsung sd cards and I've never had a problem on my note.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 4
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ericpbritt:
I tried that, they wont reflash it. I told them i was canceling at end of contract, they offered me free LG V10.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oakvad:
That's what I was using, and figured it was the card the first time. Then it did it to my pny and samsung.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bbeelzebub:
PNY are horrible cards. I'd avoid them. They tend to break SD slots too.

I've been using a 32GB Sony card in mine and haven't had issue with it. I've never even removed it. It was ten bucks on amazon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oakvad:
The point I was trying to make was, it doesn't matter what card it is, it's the phone that's the issue.

I don't even have a card in it anymore because it'll just get erased. I've had 4 different cards now, all same results
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Redjay412:
I know for a fact that if you go to a Best Buy with a Samsung kiosk. They have the capability to reflash your phone for you. Whether or not you get someone that will do it for you may be completely random, but my father had to have his reflashed by them and they did it without any problems.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bbeelzebub:
Use the Verizon Repair Assistant if you can't find somebody to reflash it for you. Wouldn't the end result be effectively the same? I was having some battery issues that kept surviving a factory reset, once I used it, my phone was back to normal. It downloads the latest stock firmware from the net and flashes it. (PS- Take your SIM and SD card out when doing it, it jacked my SIM.)

----------------

As for my hate for this phone growing, I was going to go buy a new phone, but since I'm stuck on Verizon, it's all crap. :( I don't do LG or Motorola, so I nearly got an iPhone 6s Plus. Instead, I just picked up an Otterbox Symmetry (You can get Symmetry and Commuter cases for under 15 bucks right now.) case and a new Nillikin glass protector and I'm going to attempt to psychologically convince myself that it's a new phone. Hopefully I can play along for another six months or so. ;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
how do they break your card slot? I've been using a pny 128 in my galaxy tab for a while now and it's fine.

Sent from my Moto X Pure Edition
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bbeelzebub:
No clue. I assume it is from when they inevitably burn out (the gold connectors turns black) while inside of the unit. I've had a camera and a netbook both fall victim to permanent damage after using PNY cards. I did some research online and apparently I'm not the only one. Not to mention they have a high failure rate themselves and PNY flash storage is pretty much known as garbage universally.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oakvad:
I just tried to reformat the one that was in my phone and its dead, won't read in my computer.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stueycaster:
If you remove an SD card from a computer without using the "Safely remove hardware" feature in Windows you can corrupt a card. I've corrupted mine and ended up having to reformat it before. But nowadays I always click on Safely remove hardware then click eject the device then wait for it to come back saying it's safe to remove the hardware. Every SD card I own always keeps working perfectly. Whatever you do don't just take the SD out without doing this. You can't unplug the phone from the USB without doing this either.

Also are you properly unmounting the SD from the phone too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] will4958:
I've actually disconnected my phone, as well as my Tab 3 8.0, from my computer several times without clicking 'Safely remove hardware' and both still worked fine. I've only had one instance of when my SD card went nuts, but that was when my S4 wasn't connected to anything, the card simply stopped working for some unknown reason after the battery ran down.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] SpyderPride:
Kind of like Russian roulette, usually the gun goes *click*...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stueycaster:
Yeah, before I found out about this I would just pull it out. But then once in a while my card or external hard drive would get corrupted. I didn't know why. Then I found out disconnecting without safely removing it was the reason why. Since I started doing it right I've never had a problem.

Ya the 64 gig I had in my phone is dead, gone won't even read anywere. It died in my phone when my phone did a random reboot
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Chuck_IV:
I just had this happen the other day. My 32gb PNY died. Card was working fine for well over a year, then, out of the blue, I noticed the the phone saying I could safely remove the SD card. It no longer saw the card at all.

I have tried everything I can think of to recover what was on there but nothing sees anything. My PC DOES see the card but says it is unformatted and asks to format it. A couple data/RAW/partition recovery programs I have tried don't find anything either. Lost quite a few pictured I hadn't backed up yet.

I have not tried to reformat it yet since I keep thinking I can recover something, so I keep trying. I have a new card(Samsung) waiting for me at BB.

This is the first time I have ever had a SD card go bad on me. I have used several PNY ones without issue, when I had my Note 2. This card was in use for a few months on my Note 2, before going to the Note 4 in Oct 2014.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pikacane:
I know it's probably too late, but if you can, try booting into a portable Linux and see if it can read it. I had a card die on me when I flashed my Note 2 from Kitkat back to Jellybean and thought I'd lost everything, but then I realized while Windows saw the 32 gig card as a corrupted 16 gig card and tried to reformat it, my Linux netbook saw it fine. Reformatted it and it flaked out on the phone again a couple days later, but oddly enough my Note 8 had no problem with it. That was about two years ago and it's still chugging along in the 8.

I now dump a backup of my SD cards onto a hard drive once a month. Of course, none have failed since I started doing that :) Anyone else's phones always show as non-removable drives/devices? I can't "safely remove" them anymore, but I'm very careful about making sure the card isn't in use before I disconnect, or shut down the computer if necessary, and I haven't had any problems.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Chuck_IV:
I still have the card sitting here untouched. I have Mint installed on one of my drives on my PC. I'll try Linux tomorrow. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fordfx2:
Amen to that! I'm taking it a step further and just going with a different carrier as soon as my contract is up. Good riddance Verizon and your damn locked phones that I paid hard earned money for!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oakvad:
I wish it were that easy for me. Verizon is the only carrier that works literally everwhere! I haven't been in a contract for about 4 years and those money hungry pricks have the audacity to charge me $20 more a month to keep my unlimited data I already had. Guess I should be happy I got to keep it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] BalajiSundar:
I am sorry for you Verizon guys ! Note 4 has one of the best hardware of 2k15 . Best screen , camera , battery life , removable SD , S Pen . I dual boot cm12 and TouchWiz 5.1.1 . Hope the 5.1.1 solves your issues. Blame verizon and not Samsung .
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oakvad:
Ya ya. Just rub it in! Lol. I agree though, the only thing that works flawlessly on my note 4 is the camera and the beautiful screen. Unfortunately I can't use an SD card cause my phone just wipes it clean! Lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] raduque:
Why didn't you have the device replaced? Random reboots and freezes, erasing the uSD card are symptoms of hardware failures, and you should have had it replaced under warranty (or insurance if out of warranty) the first time it happened. I've never had a phone that behaved like that unless it had hardware issues.

The 5.1 update helped my Note 4 out a lot. It's performance is now on-par with the Droid Turbo 2 which is my daily driver. Can't wait to see what 6.0 brings to the Note 4, ya know if it get one. :/
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oakvad:
Was pretty sure it was software related. No problems until the 5.0 update from Verizon
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oakvad:
Since the recent update this thing would be better used as a paper wait!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] KingVekxin:
Must just be yours huh? Maybe a few cases of it bein slow and what not? I can say my phone with the update is faster, more responsive, not heating up as much and all. I get sick at least day and a half off of one charge and I use my phone almost constantly. So all this paper weight nonsense is nonsense or at best a case by case thing
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jmz768:
But wait, there's more.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] usmaak:
I'm counting down the days until I can get rid of this thing. I'm still on 4.4.4, because the 5.01 update so messed up my phone. Fortunately, I was able to get back to 4.4.4. I've had the phone since October 2014 and am on a 2 year contract. That's a LONG time to go without getting a useful update.

Besides that, I'm pretty sure that I got a dud. The screen is very unevenly tinted, with yellow blotches on it. The camera is terrible in any situation other than a sunny day. Well, unless you like yellow tinted pictures. If you like yellow tinted pictures, then this camera is amazing!

About the only thing that I like about it is the keyboard. I'm better able to type on it than on any other phone that I've had.

It'd be nice if it had root, but that really isn't a deal breaker. Sending out updates that completely mess up a device is.

I like Samsung products. I saw the new Note 5 and it is a nice device, but I'm sure it'll suffer from the same update issues as this thing. I talked to a kid in the Samsung Experience store at BB the other say and told him that it seemed nice, but I thought that they went in the wrong direction with making the batteries non user replaceable. He said that it was better because the batteries were sealed in. Something about ions not reacting to the air. I just laughed a bit.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Chuck_IV:
This. I had been lingering on the initial 5.01 update and my phone was a slug. 5.1 helped a LOT. Just hoping thr performance holds up over time.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hltbest:
Hey guys, I've been trying to find a simple answer to this but can't so was wondering if someone can help me out!

I decrypted my device very early on. I'm running latest Chroma with elemental X (android 6.0.1) . However I think I'd like me device to be encrypted. Now I know I can do this via security settings... But I was wondering if this will affect me use of TWRP, flashing ROMs, root etc.

Or will everything just work the same?

Thanks in advance!!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
Won't affect anything as far as ROMs and TWRP.

On the other hand I'm in the process of backing everything up so I can format the data partition and run unencrypted.

I prefer the speed. Anyway, encryption doesn't matter if you are running TWRP.

With the file manager in TWRP, I can copy and move files to an unencrypted USB-OTG drive.

With a custom recovery, you data is not safe.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You can encrypt, you'll have no issues with flashing, recovery, etc.

[XDA Assist] the_lost_dev:
Hey guys, i'm going to copy/paste my post from Tom's Hardware (I felt this may be a better place for the question):

Alright, so, i've been all over google the last two days and I just can't seem to find the right person/post having the exact same problem I am so I figured I'd ask myself.

So, as part as my effort to complete one of the various project I have going on around the house, I rooted and flashed custom recovery on my HTC One m9. Then, I flashed skydragon 10 onto it. This part seems to be fine and dandy.

But I just realized that I have ZERO Sprint software or options on my phone. As in, I can't update my profile and prl (the option is gone), I have no operator or mobile data, and my sim card appears to not be recognized as a Sprint SIM. How do I return those options and my phone's "identity"?

I tried various MMI codes to try and update PRL or somehow get my sprint profile back, but it just says "phone connection error or invalid MMI code". Of course, I assume I'm using MMI codes since that's what my phone's calling them (##72786# or something or other). But, right now, I don't really trust my phone.

As far as first experiences go with ROM flashing, this part has been a nightmare. It's like my phone is having an identity crisis and doesn't know that it's Sprint. I feel like shaking it and screaming "Damn it, Carl, you're not a tablet! You're a Sprint Phone!".

I literally feel 2 steps away from a solution, but I feel like I forgot to do something after flashing the ROM.

Here's what I know so far:

All my settings appear correct (APN, Phone Identity, Software Information)

If I search for Network Operators, Sprint comes up (there are 3 more with X's on them, assuming because it's not carrier-unlocked), but when I try to register, it just says the SIM is not a Sprint SIM i.e. my phone has lost it's identity.

As I'm certain you realize, I don't know much at this point. I saw a lot of answers and jargon and I know what it all means, I just don't know what to apply to my problem specifically. I haven't tried much beyond messing with settings since I'm trying to be cautious., but gosh darn (substitute the appropriate swear).

As far as backups go, I have none. I didn't realize that you could back up the stock ROM (not a single one of many guides mentioned nandroid, which I thought was the android folder misspelled, nor an EFS backup, which I thankfully, don't need... hopefully)

UPDATE: So, my phone keeps the annoying as 2am alarm I'm too lazy to get rid of, but ditches it's wireless carrier. Some priorities...

ACTUAL UPDATE: I'm going to call Sprint and see if I can have my SIM reactivated. First solution I've found that makes a little sense. Will post update later.

Hi all! :)

I tried some old ways to change or unlock sms limit per hour but nothings work for me. Apps and threads are from 2, 3 years so i understand that some changes in the Android could make these apps not working.

I have some duties for group of people (approx. 50) and I have to write sms to them but I'm getting popup after a certain number of sent sms. I hope that you can help me with solving this problem.

Currently I'm running Cloudy G 3.3 on LG G2 D802

you can use smshare app for that. You can set a delay to slow down the sending, or use smshare expansion apps to increase the sending rate. Though, you have to send SMS from your smshare dashboard.
