[General Questions and Answers] kkomarica:
Hi guys!

I am searching for a file manager in android that has the ability to sort files by their read-only status (in windows it's called sort by attributes).

My specific need is to sort photos by read only status on a external card, so that I can easily select them and upload them ... nothing fancy

My phone is an unrooted Samsung S5

Thanks a lot for your help!!

Kris

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] deltaarmstrong2000:
Hey people, I have an issue going on here.

I was going to unlock, but decided to reflash firmware and change the csc from rogers over to bell.

Kies recognizes the phone now as being a 'bell' phone, and have done an update just to confirm it but it still will not accept a bell sim. Every time I have inserted a bell sim it requests the 4 digit unlock code. The sim works just fine in my S3 and another bell S4, so that is not the problem.

All settings in the phone also show it to be 'bell', home screen and all, so the csc did take.

All the modems/firmware on sammobile are multi-csc, as i have tried to just flash the modem alone after I extracted it.

I could care less about being truly carrier free, as I am locked into a bell agreement through work.

Any suggestions on this, or do i have to purchase a code? I assume its locked now so I cannot downgrade to my understanding to a lower modem to use the service menu to unlock.

Thanks for the input.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] audit13:
I've flashed from a Bell 4.4.2 to Telus 5.01 without issue and the phone will remain sim-locked. The only difference I have seen between the Bell, Telus, and Rogers ROM are the carrier apps included with each ROM.

The sim unlock code is 8 digits long.

You should be able to downgrade the i337m's 5.01 stock ROM to a i337m 4.4.2 stock ROM. Then install the 4.2.2 modem, root the phone, run region unlock app, re-flash stock 5.01, and the phone will be sim unlocked. Doing this will trip the knox counter to 1 and void any remaining warranty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] deltaarmstrong2000:
I tried to downgrade, but it didnt take. I will try again. I know there was a discussion on booting the phone and not signing into google then reflash again. Is this needed?

Thanks for the reply.

Does anyone know when the Kaiser is going to be released on one of the UK networks as a subsidized device? My old Magician is getting REALLY long in the tooth now, and I can't afford £480 right now... :p

Scancom have it as pre-order for Orange Business, but doesn't give any dates...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Pooper:
I can't afford £480 either, but i just ordered one last night lol :D

I think it should be available on T-Mobile by the end of the month maybe? (As the MDA Vario III i'd imagine).

I'd hazard a guess that it'll be out on Orange maybe by the end of the year?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] darthbane2k:
Problem is the design of the MDA Vario III looks really ugly (tacky silver finish) compared to HTC's original version of the Tytn II
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Pooper:
Another reason why i chose the HTC over the T-Mobile variant :D
[General Questions and Answers] km8j:
How would I know what the max current is a device can support like an accessory? So for example, the stock charger that comes with the Plantronics Voyager Edge is only 500ma. What happens if I plug it into a Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 charger like what comes with the S6? Will it blow up? Regulate down and charge normally? Charge rapidly?
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
it will charge normally. it doesnt matter how big the output of the charger is. the phone will regulate it to only what it wants.

only time you will have an issue is if your charger output is too small. the phone will charge slow, and risk damage to the charger.
[General Questions and Answers] km8j:
Does this also apply to the headset I mentioned? How would the current being too low damage the charger? USB ports and car charger are very low current in general
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
1. yes

2. i didnt say it would damage the charger, i said there is a risk of it. thats because if its too small, the charger is working at maximum all the time.

3. usb's are regulated, not maxing out potential. im guessing car chargers do the same, however im not sure why. likely has something to do with a safe level considering the fluctuation in input voltage from the battery.
[General Questions and Answers] km8j:
Hmm... So what about using a non-QC 2.0 charger (such as some that Anker make) on devices that support QC 2.0? Is there some safety issue or will it just charge slightly slower?
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
sorry, i dont know about those.

maybe you misunderstood before, i cant think of any common instance where there would be a safety issue.

as unlikely as it is that you will ever burn up a charger (or device for that matter), the only thing that will happen is some small electronic parts will go bad. not some huge fire or whatever. sure on the device there could be a nice exploding fire, but there about always from defect and also extremely rare. it happens maybe 1 or 2 times a year, and its gets posted everywhere, then people think its an epidemic and start asking all these unnecessary questions. im sure the yearly device sales are in the hundreds of millions work wide. if a couple a year blow up, well s happens.
[Android Head-Units] deeperexistence:
I bought this unit: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0151KNXJ8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

I know it is a known issue that the microphone quality is bad, but I'm not willing/able to open the device and tinker around with the motherboard. The microphone quality would be acceptable to me if it would just be a bit louder (increase microphone gain). Is there any way we can get access to a volume control that would just record the sound a bit louder? Any other software based options to improve the mic quality for phone calls and voice commands?
[Android Head-Units] kbattpo:
I have this one in one car and a KD-C0224 in another car. In both of them the speech quality has improved dramatically after I connected external microphones that were included in their boxes. The sound quality of the built-in Pumpkin microphone is indeed pathetic.

Does anybody know if it's possible to change the camera app when double pressing the power button? I have changed my default camera to proshot but when double pressing the power button it still opens the stock camera.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury683:
I don't use Proshot but I just cleared defaults for my stock camera and set the action to Snapchat which worked fine. Try clearing default launch action for any camera apps and the double tap your power button, it should prompt you to select one, select Proshot and then say Always.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edee1337:
Hi! I'm the developer of ProShot. If you have a password-protected lockscreen, the power button shortcut won't work at this time (it will work if there is no password though). For some reason Android isn't granting the app access to the camera, despite the fact that it's declared properly in the manifest. I'll be reaching out to Google about this.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dastinger:
Hi,

I'm sorry for hijacking the thread but since you're here I thought I'd ask if it's normal for the app to freeze/take a while to respond when you change the orientation of the phone? It's happening to me a lot lately, to the point that I stopped using the app. We are able to keep talking about this through PM or I am able to PM you my email address in case you need some sort of logs.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edee1337:
When you change the orientation, the app does a normal UI rotation animation (shouldn't freeze or anything). This is unfortunately necessary due to a bug in Android. The UI rotation only takes 0.5s though. Is it taking longer? We can PM, just wanted to address the issue publicly :)

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuriy636:
After buying it I powered on it and it auto updated to Fire OS 5.1.1.

Looking through XDA it seems like there's no differenciation between 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 for making custom things.

My question is which of these:

-Changing the default launcher (to Nova for example)

-Rooting

-Installing custom ROM

methods are compatible with 5.1.1?

Sorry for the bad english, help is appreciated.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ownster:
All

5.0.1 allows Fastboot boot which allows custom recoveries to boot

5.1.1 does not but you can flash roms using Flashfire instead after getting Root

5.0.2 You mean 5.0.1

There is no 5.0.2

Download Smart Switch (Kies for newer phones) on a computer, and use the option Emergency software recovery and initialization.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodigalgypsy:
I have an identical problem as above. Unfortunately Smart Switch will not recognize the device. When I put in the model and S/N manually it tells me the S/N is invalid. Samsung has been zero help with this.

I can access the download screen by pressing vol down + home + pwr, and I have reinstalled the latest update (5.1.1) which I had installed 2 months ago, but it still hangs after the restart.

I cannot power down the phone with the pwr button.

I cannot access recovery mode nor get it to be recognized via adb. It simply does not move past the first screen.

I am overseas (Indonesia) and the local Samsung Repair Center will not touch the S6 Active (despite it being under warranty). Shipping it to the US service center is unfeasible.

Any ideas on what I can do to even just get it to recovery mode? I was hoping to perform a factory reset as I (luckily!) transferred all my important docs and images/vids off the phone. I'm willing to wipe the puppy clean and start over, if it will only let me!

PS: I don't consider myself a developer, but I do have plenty of experience rooting and moding phones, and ironically, this unrooted, legitimate, Knox-approved phone is only thing that has ever stumped me like this! :)

Update: I managed to get it to BEGIN the recovery boot process... It showed the robot with the spinning thing for a few seconds while in the upper left corner it says "installing updates...". After about 3 seconds the screen goes blank and it restarts at the Samsung S6 Active and hangs. Now when I try to enter recovery mode it cycles through like it is attempting to start recovery mode but just ends up back at the first screen again...

Hello everyone!

My Galaxy Nexus works normally till I copy music or any other files on it. When memory is used (more than 50% for instance), then phone starts restarting randomly. However, If I do a full wipe and made memory free, then there's no restart to happen.

What can be a problem?

I installed Malaysk's latest ROM, but have lost Navigation. I know when I did this in the past, I was able to load iGo (from the ROM, I think), but I cannot seem to do it now.

How do I activate navigation or download/install a new one?
[MTCB Software Development] m00n61:
Go tp Play Store, get Waze or Here Maps. Both are free offline navigation apps.
[MTCB Software Development] NYCAR:
I had a chance to try both of those over the weekend. I am not a fan; one looks like it is for children and the other was too slow to be useful.

Back to my original question; how can I get iGO back on my head unit?

Thanks.
[MTCB Software Development] brioschi:
Probably you can find the .apk in iGo folder in gps SD

but take a look here also:

http://www.carjoying.com/Joying-blog/13.html
[MTCB Software Development] NYCAR:
For some reason I do not have an iGo folder in the gps SD after installing Malaysk's ROM. I'll check an old computer at home and see if I backed up anything else.

I was able to find the location of the Torque .apk (along with others), but there was no navigation program in that folder.
[MTCB Software Development] brioschi:
it's strange, i've updated rom many times and gps Sd card was never touched...

Have you seen the link in previous post? from there you can dowload the iGo app and maps.... with instruction:)

i feel good with Sygic (purchased) that recently fixed the issues with our android headunit

and navmii (free)
[MTCB Software Development] NYCAR:
Sadly, I deleted the card when I was doing the manufacturer-requested reboot.

I had already tried the previous post. As you stated, it appears to be no longer available.

I found an old backup. I'll see if I can get it to work in my car.
[MTCB Software Development] NYCAR:
All set. I had the .apk saved on my computer.

I incorrectly thought that rooting the head unit destroyed everything on the SD and that since I still had the program when I rooted in the summer, iGo was part of Malaysk's ROM. Now that I understand it is a program that was NOT part of the ROM, I was able to find it.

Thanks to all.
[MTCB Software Development] aljefre:
how we can install Sygic on android 4.4.4. head unit ?
[MTCB Software Development] themissionimpossible:
Buy Sygic on their web site, so you receive a license ID, download Sygic from the Google Play, activate your license within the Sygic app and then download the corresponding maps you bought.

Everything works perfectly, maps should also be automatically downloaded into the microSD, otherwise follow the instructions on the Sygic web site.
[MTCB Software Development] sixstrum:
Anyone heard of an issue with iGo where it freezes after about 10 seconds? I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling but no difference. This is the software that came with my unit. I'm running a Malaysk ROM, but this happened on stock ROM as well.

My unit is a RK3188 MTCB.

[HTC Desire 526] ericpeacock79:
See my other thread about the upgrade message when I connect to HTC sync manager. (Even though the phone reboots and goes thru several flash screens, nothing is changed)

Phone is HTC Desire 526 Verizon prepaid.

This time, I let it run again, but I opened the program temp folder in explorer and grabbed the files.

It has a 1.2GB file that I'm guessing is system image and a 10MB file labeled boot image.

I uploaded it to my Google drive in the hopes that someone here can find a way to use it to get us a custom ROM, or at least root, going.

Here's the files:

https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B_Sgf7j8WktiM0pmcDJveVBFWUU/edit

Cheers.
[HTC Desire 526] Ynlord:
Are those files for the US or the Europe version?
[HTC Desire 526] ericpeacock79:
USA, Verizon prepaid
[HTC Desire 526] Ynlord:
Which one is exactly the temp directory of the program?
[HTC Desire 526] ericpeacock79:
I pulled those files from the temporary download location of the HTC program on Windows, just after it downloaded the update, while it was copying the files to the phone.

It was in the Program Files directory of the HTC desktop program, instead of the windows user profile temp folder like most programs.

The files uploaded are the update files.
[HTC Desire 526] Ynlord:
I was having trouble downloading the one that you posted, i downloaded again with the htc sync manager and got it on this location C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\HTC MediaHub\FOTA.

Should i go to recovery and fast it or should i use adb for it?
[HTC Desire 526] ericpeacock79:
I do not know if it would work like that. If I had to guess, I would say fastboot, but I really don't know.

I will try it tomorrow and let you know. I still have the phone, but I don't use it and can't seem to sell it on Craigslist...

Is it possible to unpack an image of the non branded version and compare the differences.. see what we can change to possibly allow hot-spot or root?

[HTC Desire 526] BigCountry907:
Thank You for the files.

I will take a look and let you guys know how to flash it.

It will help the bootloader issue.

I need these files to keep working on this.

Thanks again

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

To flash the rom. Whichever of the 2 downloads it is ???

rename the file to

0PM3IMG.zip

Copy 0PM3IMG.zip to the external sd card.

Boot the phone into the bootloader / download mode.

It should find the file on the sdcard and ask you if you want to install it.

I will test it out later.

Basically if you mess something up in the phone by deleting files or whatnot this should be useable to flash back to stock.
[HTC Desire 526] DareOrBeDared:
I know I'm just an amateur with programming but couldn't you/we just "Frankencode" it? Like have two/three of the same file and keep one original, have another be the successful edit, and have another be the experimental editing?
[HTC Desire 526] BigCountry907:
To some extent that is what i'm working on.

The Desire 626s is the same chipset and the boot-loader is unlockable.

These RUU files / ( Factory Rom ) ruu = rom update utility come packed with some goodies.

The bootloader is in the packages for the 526 and the 626.

The question is how to flash the files from the 626 to the 526.

The ruu uses a couple different security measures to make sure the files aren't tampered with.

The main zip file is signed with keys and verified to be signed against the public half of the keypair.

It's a file called keys in the /res folder of the recovery.img ramdisk.

By generating a pair of keys ( Private and Publick ) .pk8 and .pem and dumping the public key with dumppublickeys it is possible to change the key in the /res/key of the ramdisk. This means we can modify the main zip file and sign it with our own keys and it will pass the signature test.

But the zip files inside of the main zip are also signed / encrypted.

We can decrypt the inner zip files with bruuveal. So that can extract the zip files and not get errors.

Or use the HTC Decrypt tool found on this forum.

The interesting thing here is that prior to the ruu flashing the phone it flashes the HOSD.

That's the smaller zip file.

The only reason for HTC to do that i'm thinking is because the hosd / hboot that is on the phone to begin with blocks writing of the necessary partitions by some means.

So the hosd is pre-updated to allow the main ruu to flash.

This is not the case on the 626s. The other interesting thing is that the hosd flashes by itself in the main zip not a sub zip and like I said I can get around the first file signature.

If I can get the 626s firmware to flash to the 526 then we can unlock the boot-loader.

If we can find a way to get around the inner file signing ( If I can figure out where the public half of the key is)
[HTC Desire 526] mick_k:
You can flash the software using fastboot...

fastboot flash zip <name 1st zip>

fastboot flash zip <name 2nd zip>

If the second file will not be able to - use

htc_fastboot

where to take - when unpacking (executing)standart RUU file
[HTC Desire 526] badHTC526:
Anyone find a solution to this problem? I have the desire 526 and it froze during upgrading with the htc sync, now it doesn't go past the boot screen and I've searched for a solution to this problem everywhere.
