[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lentmain:
I'm on 5.0.1 Lollipop, the second one From Aug 11 OTA by the seller I bought it from.... I was new to android and didn't know there was a download mode....

The baseband version is: I think it is called I337OCOG0C4... It is the stock rom that came on the phone.... I can't find the stock ROM to redo it( try to at least...) It's on 0C4... I AM rooted , by Kingroot... Verification says so.... Two different versifiers... When I go to flash..., it comes up with that message... I tried removing Busy box and reinstalling it... it was ok... I reinstalled Safestrap .... It loaded fine...

When I got to NC1 flash..., it says it can't see busy box or safestrap, either one might have a problem... They both loaded fine..... I tried flashing the Tar from above... Odin just sat there and finally said fail... twice.... I think the corruption is hurting the ability to enter recovery on the phone.... I can't enter "Recovery Mode" on the phone... It is damaged.... I thought flashing could do it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sway8966:
If you followed Muniz_is instruction step by step I don't think you should have a problem.

I used SS (safestrap) when I was in kit-kat alot but not anymore. It is tricky to use SS in lollipop. So I can not give you any comment on using SS. I use flashfire app instead.

So every time I want to install the custom rom, I followed Muniz_is instructions. Odin the NB1, use towelroot to root, install flashfire and flash the rooted OC4, install flashfire again and then flash the custom rom.

Muniz_is post is updated to OK2 but I am still using the OC4 files that posted previously. If you want to stay on OC4 do let me know.

What do you mean you can not enter recovery mode? I am sure you know the key sequence (press power+home+volume up) for recovery mode. If your phone is bricked, then you need to press the same keys for at least 10 sec and then let the power button go but keep pressing the home+volume-up until you felt the phone vibrate and see the small blue label at the top of the screen.

To use the odin you have to be in the download mode. To get to the download mode you need to press power+home+volume-down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lentmain:
Your recovery mode probably works fine.... Mine is corrupt... You must use Recovery mode in Odin... I tried... Failed twice... Tried 4 other .tar's.... No good... A FAIL for each... I guess you have to have Recovery Mode just to allow the device to do anything... I DO appreciate you guys and ALL of your efforts ...... Maybe we could put my device on Android Studio and look at what is hurting it... I'd love that....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] blablu:
I had got myself into same mess in early January 2016 but I got out and all is working perfectly fine with me. Can you successfully get your i337 into download mode? if YES contact me via PM and I can tell you exact steps I performed to get myself back into fully working condition. Believe me it's simple steps not rocket science - just that one needs to perform very carefully.

To get to the download mode you need to press power+home+volume-down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lentmain:
Neither device will boot into Recovery mode... It gives 5 or 6 lines of stuff..., then freezes up... I can release it to use the phone... I'd like to try using Android Studio to see what can be done...

Isn't there a "Format" system and re-installation plan I can use..., like doing a computers hard drive..?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] blablu:
Recovery mode is different - it is WAY different - it will never boot into that mode as memory is messed up with wrong code.

I AM ASKING YOU TO GET IT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE - to get into download mode - the messed code is not executed....Try to get into DOWNLOAD MODE - i am 100% sure - it will go into download mode....It should....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lentmain:
I have told you....." I pressed up vol, home and start at the same time... That should have started Recovery Mode... It didn't... It froze up at the little green man screen...."

MY DOWNLOAD MODE IS CORRUPT..... I can't figure another way around this....

If someone knew how to view the devices program on Android Studio..., MAYBE something could be done with the programming.... I'm not sure if a "Cut and Paste " would work on there... I guess I need to get a book on Android Studio... I already have it ( Android Studio SDK ) on my computer....

Any one here can tell me how to run it..?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] blablu:
Ok.

can you tell me what exactly happens when you press power+home+volume-down?

How did u arrive to conclusion that your download mode is corrupted?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lentmain:
It froze up.... It stopped moving foward to the lower potion of the Recovery program.... At the bottom..., you can choose the different ways to manipulate the program... Mine, both phone stop at the processing sign in....

It will require something more than a few buttons being pressed.... I'll have to learn to use the Android Studio and either rebuild the program from within or to reprogram it from outside..., like with a .tar flash....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lentmain:
I reflashed an At&t .pit file ( using Odin) and it rebuilt my file ( partition) for Recovery mode... Not sure how it did it... Now when I CAN get into recovery mode..., it doesn't recognize the SD card so I can't use the tools in Recovery mode to change the rom to something earlier, like Muniz_ri did in one of his wonderful fixes... (Double thanks Muniz_ri..)

Once Odin sees my device..., I set it up yo start a Muniz_ri renewing rom ( I337UCUFNB1_TWROOTABLE_FULL_ODIN.tar.md5 ) and it gets to "system.img.ext4" about 10% into it and then it freezes up....

Anyone have any ideas..?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] blablu:
If u are able to get to download mode - I strongly recommend first you flash ONLY Stock Partition file.

Then again reboot in download mode and then try the FNB1 file....this may work...but before all this flash proper pit file - refer to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2496517

stock partition file(s) are available on xda - search and download....
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] JJones1210:
I was provided a case by Artech 21 to test, here is my review:

If you're looking for a rugged case that will protect your Note 5 from the bumps and falls of everyday life, this case from Artech 21 will get the job done. At just under $10, it does it for a fraction of the price of most cases out there as well.

I chose the orange case to go with my gold Note 5, and it compliments my phone very well. The case follows the design of a few others by snapping into the front piece, then the back piece goes around it. The front does have a built in screen protector. I have a tempered glass protector on my phone, but functionally was not affected, including that of the S Pen. Access to the S Pen with the case is also fairly easy, while still providing a good amount of protection around it.

One thing I noticed about this case that others don't seem to have, is an indentation below the home button. This makes unlocking the phone very easy. This is done while still providing a full lip around the front in case of a fall. Another thing I really like about this case is how well the port covers stay in. This is nice as I have wireless chargers and Bluetooth earbuds, so I don't use the phone ports. Wireless charging does work with this case (official Samsung charger), as well as Android Pay.

The back is a hard plastic, with rubber around the edges to wrap around the side of the phone. The grooves on the sides provide excellent grip. The back of the case shows no wear after several days use, including a camping trip. This is more than likely due to the fake rivets/screws on the back that the case sits on. The one thing I would change with this case would be to have those rivets/screws made of a more rubber material for slightly better grip to the surface. The case, even as bright as it is, does affect the camera, even with the protective lip.

Overall, this was my first experience with Artech 21, and they left me impressed. I will definitely look their way when I decide to add to my Note 5 case collection in the future.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] CptCrackers:
How do I get the "Just Once" and "Default" options to appear when choosing an app?

I'm a little frustrated withone thing on the S7 Edge: Once you pick an app it sets it to default with no option to use the app "Just Once".

This is what I'm talking about: http://www.howtogeek.com/231392/HOW-TO-EASILY-SELECT-YOUR-DEFAULT-APPS-IN-ANDROID-6.0/

This article specifically discusses 6.0 Marshmallow, so I think this should be there? Perhaps Samsung or T-Mobile has removed this for some head scratching reason.

There are some apps that I so want to have a default for. And some I DEFINITELY want to be able to choose each time. For example, if I want to navigate to an address, I'm picking Waze, but if I ust want other information about the business at an address I'm picking google maps. I shouldn't have to copy and paste or visits the default app settings every time I want to do this. For some people they may ant to make one call with the dialer and another call with skype. They also shouldn't have to jump through hoops to do this.

I've attached a sample screen of this issue.

So the Question for this Q&A thread is is this happening to everyone or just me, and can it be fixed? Is there an option, a hack, or an app that can fix this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] markwebb:
It's touch wiz: never! Seriously, I would like to know as well but I think I've already answered my question.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] cuezaireekaa:
They removed it. Stupid move I think.

In the app store there is 'app picker classic' and 'Better open with' that kind of do what you need..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] luisgutier:
Its happened to me too. I hate it. I shared an address from google apps through whatsapp and now I cant use Messenger to share an address. How do you avoid this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] CptCrackers:
Did Samsung Remove It Or Google?

I tried better open with yesterday and it seemed to have no effect. I'll try the other one.

I think we need an app that becomes the default for all categories and then let's us pick from there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Piercing Heavens:
Better Open With needs to be choosing as the default upon first run and that app brings up the list every time if you choose to do so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] CptCrackers:
OK, I'll try it again. It didn't give me that option and it wasn't intuitive. I just figured it wasn't what I needed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] CptCrackers:
You're right. Thanks for clarifying. That seems to solve the problem!!!

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] raw2000j:
good question
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] CptCrackers:
The answer below about installing better open with from the play store is the right answer. The other app mentioned probably works as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] CptCrackers:
Unfortunately that Better Open With only covers certain categories. But it takes the main nuisance out of it.

[Java for Android App Development] pbeckmann:
Implementing push messages is a great thing, if you have just the webview. Cause your app has to authenticate against your site. Just if the user is authenticated you can use the Google Cloud Messaging or Websockets to push from your server to the app.

At the moment the authentication is created by the webview. But AFAIK you have no access to the cookies from the webview. So either you have to create a seconds authentication method from the app or you can't use push messages.

Maybe you can use the W3C Push Message Api but I don't think so.

Would you be able to help I'm new to mobile coding?

Theoretically yes, but at the moment I'm just in my exams, and after I have to do some work on for my study. So unfortunately I haven't the time right now...

Sorry.

A short advice is to look right into the official Google Documentation.

[General Questions and Answers] QBrown10:
I've tried to factory reset my phone through the settings and in recovery mode, but nothing has changed.

Once the phone reboots I am receiving multiple msgs stating ""Unfortunately TuneIn Radio has stopped", ""Unfortunately Google Play services has stopped", "Unfortunately process com.google.process.gapps has stopped", "Unfortunately android.process.acore has stopped" over and over again.

It's also trying to download an app but it's not working.

Any suggestions? I've tried to factory reset with Kies but it doesn't work with the Centura phone. Can I factory reset with Odin or any other program? The phone is not rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] Longturd:
I have this phone and was able to get root access with Kingroot. I haven't been able to get it switched over to SuperSU or find custom recovery but I wanted to say that it can be rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Go to Android Area51 forums and find daddy366 there, he's the Centura master and has dealt with just about any issue you could have with Centura, he's one of the administrators there and he's also the main developer for Centura so I'm sure he can get you straightened out.

---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

Go to Android Area51 forums and you'll find a thread to return to stock for Centura, get stock restored then find daddy366's rooting guide for Centura, they have any and everything available for the Centura, you won't need kingroot to root and you'll have superuser after flashing the pre-rooted CWM that he created for Centura, if it doesn't have SuperSU after flashing then you can just install SuperSU and remove the superuser app. daddy366 will get you properly setup with root, custom recovery and SuperSU.

He may even be able to get you straight without having to return to stock first.

So I imported a Z5c at launch from Clove. Waiting for an OTA software update for MM and I'm thinking I may just keep waiting and waiting if I'm not proactive.

Should I set my location via VPN to London and try PC Companion?

My bootloader is locked, not really interested in futzing with the DRM.

Any other suggestions?

Hide SIM contacts

[General Topics] xeno1:
Double Post.
[General Topics] MR-HIPPO:
Hide SIM Contacts on Blue Angel (WM6)

So to hide the contacts on the SIm card the ShowSim value has to be added to the registry.

Is there a way to toggle the value 0/1 outside of the registry? It would be cool if there was a utility to do this from the settings screen.
[General Topics] xeno1:
You shouldn't have to add the ShowSim key to the registry, it should already be there, you just have to change its value to either 1 or 0 depending on if you want to see them or not.

I'm sure someone could create an app that would be able to do that, it shouldn't be too hard. The only problem there would be that you would have to reboot your phone every time you changed it so I'm guessing the only way you'll ever find something like that would be to request it. The developement and hacking forum would be a good place to do that if it's what you want.

Given the issues a lot of us have had with the z5c, this could be a real alternative if the rumour is true

Don't care... Not swinging at Sumsung's...
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RiTCHiE007:
LOL just look at the past bro and i can tell you can if samsung releases a mini then it will have midrage specs at best so it doesn;t come close to Z5c.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
The article is total wrong.....

Samsung will introduce this smartphone as a response to Apple's upcoming 4-inch iPhone SE, which will be unveiled on March 21. <-- 4.6" isn't response to SE but the 4.7" IP6s.

And it will allegedly be the first Samsung Mini to come with high-end specs. <-- This isn't the first but second. Galaxy Alpha is the first mini flagship.

Personally, I real dislike the color reproduction of Samsung so probably will wait next Sony Compact even the S7 mini is a true story.

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

It isn't entirely impossible however. Galaxy Alpha was released in the same time frame with Z3c. Alpha got 4.7" 720P, Note4 CPU, 2GB ram, S5 Camera, metal bumper design and switchable battery.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Notchr302:
Well considering the z compact series is much smaller than the 4.7 iPhone, it very well could be a direct competition to the SE if it's around the same size. The point is the overall form factor and has nothing to do with actual screen size. iPhones bezels are obnoxious so the 4.7 is actually regular s7 league .
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] civicsr2cool:
I'd be all for it if it wasn't fake! Samsung keeping flagship specs in a compact chassis is as likely as Trump becoming president.

Samsungs designs are easier to hold in hand and is about half the weight and always have great dev support to have aosp. A win in every regard! Hopefully they knock down bezel size. The alpha was too large of a phone to really be a compact. I've been on the lookout for a s5 mini g800m for a while, I would grab one of these in a heartbeat as long as they keep size down, I hate my z5c.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Notchr302:
I think it will definitely happen. Samsung has to compete with the SE.

Btw Trump will be president.;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] tanto124:
I don't know if there's any OEMs that can provide an Android compact flagship the same good as Sony can do .Just take a look at HTC one mini 1st and 2nd generation(some may even never heard about them), they cannot even be able to afford the flagship position.

And Samsung? I am looking forward to any S minis.It's always good to have an alternative option anyway..
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] civicsr2cool:
The mini 2 was almost the perfect phone if not for expandable memory.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] smooth_gl:
I agree bro. Also I don't get all the fuzz about s7... I went into a store to see it live. I believe Xperia X performance looks way better even though I didn't had the chance to see the X live. I think it's all about marketing and Sony has so much to catch up.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] MO3iusONE:
I'd be willing to jump ship to an S7 mini. After using my z3c for so long, I always end up going back to it no matter what phone I buy
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] shafiq01:
S7 is a sexy beast (in black) I had both S7 and my black XP (prototype) in the hand. S7 is much more refined than XP, hence they've been working on that design for two generations now, so it has improved to perfection in my personal opinion. Sony is now trying the "slight" curve-design for the first generation, and there is place for refinement, that's true! But look how fast devs supports S7 and S7E. S7E already have a custom Rom, kernel and Twrp3.0.0.0. That's fast!! Sony, we wait almost 3-6 months, much because of the drm bull**** which frighten us and devs for loosing camera quality(mainly) Even though camera isn't all that dashing, quite frankly. If I had a sd820 running S7(nice footprint) with custom Rom (CM13 or RR) I wouldn't blink twice before (h)jumping on it :) but respect to Sony anyway for trying to keep up with the big boys, and XP is a nice device, no doubt!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Hoijh:
Hardware and camera wise I prefer Samsung. They use Gorilla glass 4 (saw durability test vs iphone 6, it holds very well vs the metal back). I 'm not a cam happy guy, so a noob friendly camera will suit me better. I don't game on the phone so performance doesn't matter much. What matters for me is the sound quality. S7 has louder output on the headphone and speaker than Z5 according to hifi org.

But I want a stereo speaker for my morning bathroom:laugh: . It is out of question that S7 mini will have stereo speakers.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] milesg:
