// Samsung KNOX is a new Android-based solution designed from the ground up with security in

mind

Android and the Enterprise

The success of Android among consumers and the developer community has, however, not translated to the enterprise. An April 2012 survey by Gartner found that fewer than 10% of enterprises planned on deploying Android devices in the next 12 months. The principal reasons cited were a perceived lack of security and limited management capability.

Introducing Samsung KNOX™

Samsung KNOX incorporates key technologies patented by the National Security Agency (NSA) and leverages hardware-level features to provide enhanced security to protect the operating system and applications. In addition, Samsung KNOX has been submitted to the US Government and Department of Defense (DoD) for compliance with initiatives, requirements and standards for mobile device security to enable its use in government and other highly regulated enterprise environments.

// Samsung KNOX addresses security at the operating system level in a comprehensive, three-prong

strategy

This section describes the technical aspects of three key features of Samsung KNOX:

1. Platform Security: Platform security of Samsung KNOX is the first line of defense against malicious attacks

2. Application Security: Samsung KNOX provides enterprises the ability to create and manage a secure container within

their employees' personal mobile devices

3. Mobile Device Management: Samsung KNOX offers comprehensive support for an enterprise virtual private network

(VPN) found in any mobile device. MDM enables a company’s IT department to monitor, control and administer all deployed mobile

devices across multiple mobile service providers

Samsung KNOX for Government and High Security Use ////-- Here goes your Samsung Pay Knox Tripping Hardware Fuse :)

Government deployments generally require that government agencies or approved system integrators be the custodian of the entire mobile device software. As mentioned previously, Samsung KNOX devices have a hardware-protected root certificate reserved for government agencies or their trusted partners to create their own chain of trust. To achieve this Samsung signs the government's (or system integrator's) Level-2 (CA) certificate with the aforementioned root certificate, and provides tools to perform a one-time change from the default Samsung root of trust to the KNOX Government root of trust.

That fuse is not for Samsung Pay, it is to ensure root certs are either compromised or not.

So, why current root methods are altering or compromising root certificates on our devices which is tripping the KNOX counter? Because it is not tripping if official firmware flashed, because is still intact and certs are safe.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thundastruck:
Knox is security for your Samsung phone. If your phone's been tampered with (rooted) then KNOX warranty will be void in other words your phone is not to be trusted (it's integrity has been compromised) for secure information (payments, confidentiality, e.t.c,).

Simple.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruedii:
In other words, Samsung doesn't trust it's own security containers and isolation functions as much as they claim, because obviously that shouldn't matter as long as the tripwire on interaction with the container is in tact, unless of course the container isn't as good as Samsung claims, or Samsung just doesn't trust it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juniormarbles:
The one feature I hate the most of my Z3C is this:

A call comes in, and I start fumbling with trying to wipe away screens (notifications, messaging, any given app that's open) so I can get to the accept call window where I can swipe left to right, red to green, and answer the call!

Is there an app or setting (I use Xperia and Nova launchers) I can activate to prioritize incoming calls so they will show over any other app that may be open? This is especially frustrating in low light or mobile/car situations where cleaning up my desktop quick enough to answer a call before it goes to VM is about the last thing I want to do.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgesteve:
An incoming call always shows up on top of everything else. If it doesn't then you've done something to your phone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juniormarbles:
I am sorry, but It does not, unless by "showing up" you mean that tiny strip with even tinier wording and symbols on top of the tiny (5") screen?

Try this: Put up the "Notifications" screen, or even the blank home screen. Then have someone call your phone. Now a small strip with a tiny phone symbol and even tinier wording " accept" or "decline" appears at the top; if you are not in the home screen, that prompt disappears within two seconds. If I want to answer the call when not in home screen, I have to swipe away several open screens of activities to get to that small phone prompt again before I can finally answer the phone.

The only way to get the big swipe-left-to-right, from red to green phone prompt is by first finding and pressing the phone symbol on my home screen (after first having to get back to the home screen, when other screens are up!)

But I want this symbol to prioritize the screen, automatically, every time, regardless of other screen activity.

How do I prioritize and superimpose the big red/green answer prompt over any of my current screen(s)? I want a simple "answer this call now" prompt, not a multi-step fumbling exercise to access the main function of this device!

Any help out there?

Ok I have successfully completed Downgrading my rom, unlocking the cid, reapplying rom for IPL/SPL 3.08, and XMD6R3. All my settings are in my signature. What my question is, is I am on Cingular, well AT&T now and the radio version shows as 1.12.10. What exactly is this for and can I update is as well to say for instance the 2.69.11?

Thanks in advance!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
It's not downgrading to wm6 xm6r3,but you have upgraded :D

radio version 1.12.10 is your old radio rom,this is a GSM signal/Gprs receiving software of the your phone's OS,through which you connect/receive signals from your carrier.Yes you can upgrade to Radio Rom 2.69.11 for better signal/Gprs connectivity :D

Cheers
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Sysgod:
So, I went ahead and updated to the 2.69.11 with the Cingular Fix and wow what a better signal I've got, better quality in the sound of calls and I have tested SMS, Text, and calls since yesterday this time and haven't lost a single one. This works great!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:

I am running Elementalx kernal with ghostpepper settings on N5X with April patch.. As the latest May security update is out, I am thinking to flash it and go stock for few days. Meanwhile is it possible to tweak cores using EX kernla manager in stock kernal?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psychofrantics:
i dont think it is possible. As the srtock kernel will not support over/underclocking or any gestures.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flar2:
Yes, it is totally possible. EXKM is universal, works with stock or any other kernel. You can still do all the governor tweaks and profiles with stock, change i/o sched, readahead, memory stuff and many other settings. You won't be able to do gestures, color or sound.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freq_ency:
Thank You for your response!

What about touch boost? I read even stock kernel has this feature. If, like franco, cant be disabled, then I believe tweak will have no effect.

If no one tried that I will update.

Thank you again for your response.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flar2:
You can adjust cpuboost input boost, but you would need a custom kernel to disable touchboost, unless you stop the perfd service.

Elementalx kernel is like stock, except I've add optional features such as the ability to disable touchboost, adjust color and sound, and enable wake gestures.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freq_ency:
Yeah! Elementalx is gr8. I Just want to experiment the kernal with stock.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamprajwal:
Guys i have this problem the issue is that i rooted and my phone and even before downloading the custom rom i factory reset my phone i.e. i wiped all the user data....Now what happens is that on boot up the phone connects to a wifi network and then doesnt go past checking connection plz suggest what i should do and yes i have the device Motorola Nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynisterWolf:
well if you formatted user data and everything is clean you can go ahead and install a custom rom or flash a stock rooted rom that is provided in the dev section and the wifi issue should fix itself.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I would suggest the following:

1. Read up on fastboot. This will allow you to recover from most things with this phone.

2. Use fastboot to flash a custom recovery.

3. Use the custom recovery to flash a custom rom.

If this doesn't work... Download the nexus 6 factory images (google will help with this). Then just reflash stock and see if it works.

There's literally 0 reason to root stock before flashing custom roms on this phone.

Also, make sure that you unlock your bootloader.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benleonheart:
You could start it in bootloader mode and restore factory.

You could also try another wifi connection (go somewhere else).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamprajwal:
the problem is that i have rooted my phone and before reseting my phone i forgot to install a custom recovery now my phone is locked and when i connect to a wifi network it doesnt go past "checkn connection" plz help as it shows "Device is Locked Status Code:2"
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EeyoreSyndrome:
As someone mentioned. You need to read up on fastboot.

You softbricked your phone it seems.

Gonna need a PC/Mac/Linux to fastboot it and fix it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you did a factory reset, all your personal data was lost, but the stock ROM should still be present. Your phone isn't damaged based upon your posts, but you do need to do some reading and understand what it is you are doing before you do damage your Nexus. Start at the Nexus 6 Sticky Roll Thread and read the tutorial on ADB and Fastboot. Then read the Nexus 6 All-In-One Beginner's Guide.

To resolve the "Checking Connection" issue you're currently having, take out your SIM card and try pressing "Skip" at the WiFi connection screen. If successful, you won't have any connectivity but will have fully booted into Android. From there you can access Developer Options, and enable OEM Unlock. Actually unlocking the bootloader requires a computer, and until the bootloader is unlocked, you won't be able to flash anything to the device. So, start reading.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electricpete1:
I don't think that would work.

After factory reset, he'd need to log in to his original account. So needs wifi or internet connection for that (or another phone which can share the same account credentials via nfc). Failing that, as others mentioned flash a useable system to get working wifi.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Shoot, I keep forgetting about factory reset protection. Likely because I have Enable OEM Unlock active.

[Huawei MediaPad M2] smallwood:
Hello,

thanks for your reply Eagle-no1! I might try your recommended case soon. :good:

Meanwhile I ordered a glass screen protector from "Wunderglass". It fits just fine and although I missaligned it a tiny bit (probably 1 mm) I'm pretty satisfied with the outcome - there is only one small air bubble in the upper right corner of the mediapad. A little warning though: I had to disable "prevent pocket dials" in the settings of the mediapad which is fine with me as I only own the wifi version. I'm sure this is due to my not perfectly aligned glass protector which now touches the proximity sensor very very slightly. :o My bad but I can live with that.

I paid 9.95 Euros for the Wunderglass, bought it from Amazon Spain, in case someone is interested...

As for the desired case I opted for one that is originally designed for the Thinkpad 8.0 - a little experiment, that cost me 3.80 Euros. :D I haven't received the item yet but will let you know if and how it fits.

The attached pictures show the "Wunderglass" and it's packaging which imo is pretty decent.

Greetings

What's up? I flashed the latest May OTA by following this video https://youtu.be/cvs0JQswTWw

I did all the steps minus the 'inject SuperSU setting' as I was gonna flash thru twrp myself when I reinstalled xposed, However when I try and boot into recovery I see a android with a triangle and exclamation mark.

My device is fully functioning with all my data intact but I am stuck without a recovery.

Previously I was on the April ota unlocked bootloader, stock rom, stock kernel, with Xposed installed. Hopefully someone can help me

Is the Stock flash image the same as the OTA image that google pushes out?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarroyo:
Yes

To get TWRP back, I would have to reinstall thru adb correct?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dratsablive:
Correct. Next time when flashing, before reboot to system, immediately go to recovery and flash SU Beta. This will prevent stock recovery from over writing TWRP.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyroblazer:
Hi there,

This maybe a stupid question.. but is there a way to get the stock incoming call popup that comes form the top like whatsapp that you get on various devices running stock android on htc sense instead of the full screen display on an incoming call?? Its intrusive, and most importantly it causes problems when i'm working on something and decline the call by accident just because i was going to tap on that area at that time.

Thanks

So we are using a 64bit processor on a 32bit armeabi-v7a instruction set

Also the board we are using is a MSM8916 which is supposed to be used with a 410

What's the point of having a 64bit processor if we can't utilize it
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K.khiladi:
The processor and ram aren't fast enough to feel the performance difference between 32 bit and 64 bit.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBelter:
Of course they are, 64bit doesn't just mean more power or speed ROFL

Main benefit is simply more memory addresses of which only having 2GB of RAM means there is no benefit whatsoever.

People have been running 32bit versions of Windows on 64bit processors for over a decade.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K.khiladi:
This problem of 64 bit having more power or speed notion is I guess just because 64 is a bigger number than 32. :p
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaotic-Entropy:
No more of a scam than having a chipset that supports up to AC WiFi but an aerial that only supports up to N. *shrug*
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgshah3:
I don't mean more power

Just trying to say, that if we are only using 32bit address lines, what the point of having a snapdragon 615? Instead use an equivalent 32bit processor and sell the phone for cheaper
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatino:
You should be glad they didn't make it 64 bit. 64 bit takes more ram than 32 bit so phone would be even slower on 2GB of RAM. I know higher numbers are fun but you have newer and better processor even if it doesn't use 64 bit instruction set.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roberth1990:
I think the problem is also that there are no 64 bit drivers for the hardware too.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreinulldrei:
The major problem is that those who have no clue about processor architecture just see 64bits and think it's necessarily better than 32.

It makes perfectly sense for the X Play to use a 32bits operating system - especially since it only has 2gigs.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonX19:
64bit processor has the ability to use more RAM, this doesn't mean it'll use more ram than 32bit and make the device slow. And what do you want, a device with 99% RAM free? Then what's the need of a RAM if you don't want to use it? RAM is provided so that apps and files can be cached into it for faster access as the primary memory is faster than the secondary. So keeping the RAM all clear means late execution of files and apps, thus a slower device.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreinulldrei:
Yes, and 64bit apps use 64bit registers to address memory. Every instruction accessing memory or working with data uses double the size than on 32bits. This will bloat apps which means that you end up with less memory.

The X Play does not have the ram it takes (speed-wise), nor does it have the processor speed or amount if ram (>4GB) to make use of the features 64bits could offer.

Thank God Motorola has engineers that know all of the above so they have chosen a 32bit version of Android for the X Play.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonX19:
I really don't think this happens, I'm myself using 64bit and I've normally 1.1 GB free RAM out of 2 GB without any ram clear app or something. I've a lot of friends whose 32 bits use up so much RAM that in developer option process stats it shows critical memory condition.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4speed:
With only 2GB of RAM it doesn't make any considerable difference between 32 bits and 64 bits.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreinulldrei:
The 615 is a good processor, that has Quick Charge and a nice feature set. If you look into the data sheet you'll find some features that are unused as well.

Again, the rest of the hardware is too weak to make any difference.

With a 32bit OS you end up with less free mem than with 64. But with 64 you can make use of more than 4GB.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikolov47:
How about the decrypting instructions that only supports 64bit? The CPU here is more for selling less for actual work. Just look at the CPU 8 similar cores that do not even stop on idle. I would understand a combinations like: 2xCortexA57 or 2xCortexA72 combined with 2xCortexA53 or just 4xCortexA53 running on higher frequency. But this... this is stupid... and it's worst for the battery that non of the clusters can stop when the phone is on idle
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodries:
Why people says it doesn't matter 64bits OS?

armv8 instruction set is powerful than armv7.

You can move more data faster, also atomic instructions like an atomic incremental are faster in armv8. In armv7 you have to implement a loop using ldrex instruction.

So a 64bits OS is not only that you can manage more RAM, you can move it faster.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K.khiladi:
But for that hardware has to be powerful enough to move such huge amounts of data, isn't it?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodries:
Yes, but you will save battery and you will do things faster because you do the same thing in less cycles, and using a more advanced instruction set.

I think we can not get a 64bits OS because vendor files (binaries) provided by Motorola are 32 bits based, we can not use a 32bit "driver" in a 64 bit OS, but we CAN use a 32 bits app in a 64bits OS.

I doubt a new google Pixel phone can not install a 32bit based apk. And you can provide 2 libs in your apk, 1 for armv7 and another one for armv8 if you want to improve performance.
