Facebook was nice enough to make me a beta tester which i thought was nice of them to pick me as a tester for both apps..
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] BiliTheAxe:
They can't pay me enough to put a facebook app on my phone.

They are already to invasive about what you do, and where you go on a PC, so the last thing I want is spyware on my phone.

No, Facebook Messenger will not secretly take video of you, listen to your phone calls, or tap into your brain to get all your secret thoughts.

After a long build-up of rumors surrounding the Messenger app’s required permissions to access the device’s camera and microphone, Facebook is finally attempting to set the record straight.

Facebook recently began forcing mobile users to download Messenger to continue using the chat function that was previously contained within the Facebook app, and that has spurred some user griping and negative reviews in app stores.

But the real source of resentment seems be a lack of understanding about how app permissions work, thanks partly to some misreporting of the facts on websites like the Huffington Post.

And, like internet rumors tend to do (hello Talking Angela!), this one’s whipped people up into a fear frenzy.

So Facebook has taken an unusually proactive effort at quashing the Messenger myths.

In a brief article titled “Get the Facts About Messenger,” Facebook’s Peter Martinazzi explains that Messenger won’t “turn on your camera or microphone when you aren’t using the app.”

Facebook is also pushing out in-app notifications to some Messenger users linking to the article, according to a report from TheNextWeb.

Martinazzi explains that Messenger needs permission to access the camera and microphone for the app to make voice and video calls.

That seems like a simple, and logical, explanation.

So why are so many people convinced that Messenger is a Trojan horse?

Facebook Messenger permissionsPartly, it’s because Android users need to approve a lengthy list of permissions in Google Play before downloading the app – and Google’s explanations of those permissions leave a lot to the imagination.

In a previously-published help article on Facebook.com, the company explained that the language used to describe Android permissions is set by Google, even if it doesn’t “necessarily reflect the way the Messenger app and other apps use them.”

It’s not Facebook’s fault that Google doesn’t make descriptions of app permissions more clear, or doesn’t give users the opportunity to accept permissions only when they want to use a feature like video calling.

But that hasn’t stopped the rumor mill.

Internet rumors like the Facebook Messenger app spying accusations feed off of misinformation or a lack of information

Hi,

I'm latest stable miui eu.

Since some weekly releases , I've go GPS drop so I flash latest stable back. And drops still present. I have to quit the GPS app or turn on/off the GPS... The drops are random and are sometimes very long.

Do you have the same issue or is it a hardware failure? I use my phone everyday with Waze or maps to travel for work and it is very disturbing for me :(

Thanks a lot xda guys!!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wedmiston:
Anyone else have this issue? It is a real pain because the earbuds (original with phone) essentially turn into earPLUGS which block my ability to hear my own voice during calls. Is there an adjustment or fix for this? I CAN hear the other party, its just my own voice which is totally muted.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xEmre66:
Buy new earbuds. Maybe the microfon is broken.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wedmiston:
i dont think thats it - they are basically new since phone was bought
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xEmre66:
Oh. Can the person you are talking with hear your voice?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wedmiston:
Yes, I just can't hear my own (like on a regular phone where you get feedback on your own voice)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xEmre66:
Test these earbuds in another phone. If it doesn't work, then maybe the earbuds don't support this feature.

Thanks for your ROM

Already sent it via PM but wanted to publish my thanks ...

Thanks for your ROM. I love it so much that I flashed it really many times. But then 2 weeks ago it was time to use it I moved all my stuff from the old S4 (CM13) to the new S7 (using Titanium Backup) which was not that big issue as I thought before (did it the first time).

So far no issues that I could not solve reading this Q&A and the developer thread. Only for one (Secure Settings root mode) I needed further help. But this one is not related to this ROM but to the systemless SuperSU mode.

Now 2 weeks later I’m 2.5 releases in the past and it is time to move to the newest release and first time to the corresponding ROM. It is downloading at the moment …

In the meantime I flashed it (1.8.1 with kernel 1.3.1) and there is a little issue: Xposed isn't working anymore. Error message "Error loading Xposed ZIP frameworks". Last time (1.6.5, stock kernel) it worked without doing anything else. I did a clean flash and restored data. Not a big issue for me because till now I don't use any module.

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonnyn93:
Mine was ordered last night on the 14th expected shipping on the 19th. I'm hoping that they are saying the 19th to give themselves more time, rather than a definite date! I'm so excited :D

Jun 23, 2016 shipping just ordered
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MamaSaidWhat?:
Ordered mine about an hour after launch. Dispatch estimated for 19th. Very excited to be coming back to a OnePlus device.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonnyn93:
Same! I left the OP2 after I felt the device got a little too warm. Which is a pet peeve really.

I'm hoping the 19th date is a long shot as you can actually go into London tonight and buy one in hand from their pop-up event. I wish I went being only an hour away from London. :(
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MamaSaidWhat?:
Didn't like the OP2 one bit if I'm being honest. The overheating was a definite concern though! It would've cost me £86 to get to London and I would've had to leave work early so it just wasn't going to happen haha.

I'm remaining positive for the 19th dispatch date and then hopefully by late next week it'll be in our hands.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonnyn93:
I bought the phone twice, once at launch and I didn't feel the 'Flare'. Then again about 6 months in as I hoped it had improved. But it was much the same tasteless device.

I'm constantly refreshing the order page as I'm sure it will leave before the 19th. Kinda wish I had gone to the event now though.

I would love to, but with my new job I also have no time. Also no longer with the S5 (S7 edge now). Has the s5 been unlocked?! I'm thinking these ports would require a kernel, and that's not gonna happen with a locked bootloader.

Definitely would love to see Ubuntu come to our phone. I'm a little busy right now but as soon as I'm done with this kernel I'll have to take a look at the porting guide you posted.

Hey I believe many people have questions around the KNOX and warranty void if you root/install custom recovery.

So I woud like to know:

Is there any software besided KingOroot (doesn't work in A5 510M) or Kingroot (I'm not installing that thing because plenty of people says it steal your data or are impossible to remove) which can root without messing with partitions / custom recovery, meaning it won't trigger the knox counter?

Has anyone confirmed that by only having the KNOX counter triggered samsung has denied to give warranty? Even if the phone is unroot?

Is there any method that roots the device without KNOX tripping?

Thanks
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] PlutoDelic:
if you are on a 5.1.x device, you might wanna give systemless root a try, i think they ported it to 5.1.x as it was a Marshmallow solution initially.

aside of that, nope.

also, a few regions, like Europe, do not accept root, and especially knox triggering as a warranty void.

and my personal two cents, trigger it, no worth at all, if your device ends up unbootable, there is no way they are going to bother reading through your chip of what you have done, most of the time you'll win the procedures if you need warranty
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fscussel:
thanks pal! I believe samsung has made it very easy for support to check whether the knox is triggered or not, otherwise how would it help anything with them fixing less phones? ;)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] -CALIBAN666-:
In germany (its in europe,lol) knox counter on 1 is not a problem when in warranty,just look my thread in q/a section.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] King-V:
The only way they would know that is through going in Download Mode... So, this is just a crazy thought, but I always planned that if something went so wrong that I couldn't fix it myself (I mean if I can go to Download I can probably still fix whatever is wrong unless the device is bricked), I would just break the volume buttons, so that they can't get to Download Mode either. I know, a rash decision, but just food for thought.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ashyx:
Kingroot is easily removed. Don't believe all the silly scare mongering.

It's the most successful root exploit available without tripping knox.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fscussel:
I have read plenty of cases of the thing working like a virus, sending data to china, making it impossible to remove. I will not put that in my phone. I have tried kinOroot and it didn't work. But sent stuff outside anyways...
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ashyx:
So you just go from what read rather than try it yourself and you think KingOroot is different? :rolleyes:It does contact servers in China, that's how it works.

It's easily removed by simply uninstalling or using SuperSume.

Millions of people have used it and I don't know of one documented case of someone being hacked after using it lol.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] King-V:
KingRoot contacts servers in China because it takes little-to-no space. A version of it that doesn't have to contact any server, and still grant you root access... Well, such an app would be over 3GB big, and would be of the same size, even after it finishes the job and gets you root access. It would be extremely inefficient, and that is an understatement. The servers in China contain the exploits that can be used to grant access to root without using a custom recovery (as a custom recovery would trip KNOX). There are thousands and thousands of files in those servers. As I said, it would be possible to make a one-click-root app that can root thousands of devices and that doesn't make contact with any server, but you would have to include all those thousands of files in the app, in order for it to work. No one is crazy enough to do such a thing.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fscussel:
I have read that if you try to remove it you can in fact brick your cell...

Holy smokes...is this serious? :sly:
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fscussel:
why so funny? Reson is simple:

After people install kingroot it add many unwanted programs, and also refuses to be uninstalled. People then try to use SuperSU ME to remove it and leave just supersu, and in this process many have got a bricked device. They say this happens because of the kingroot's code to fight anything that tries to remove it.

Now, are you some sort of associate of kingroot?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fscussel:
systemless root needs custom recovery installed as far as I can tell. So knox counter already 0x1 because of custom recovery.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fscussel:
Also I would like to know, if I install custom recovery, and the an OTA update comes, for 6.0, I would have to first remove TWRP, as so to use the OTA, after that, reinstall TWRP, would that trigger the knox again?

0x2 ??
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ashyx:
They say, he says, she says, do you actually have a clue what you are talking about? :confused:

I'm pretty sure I do.

It can be removed like any other app.

If you actually knew what you were talking about you'd know that.

It wont allow another root exploit to easily replace it, this is down to some silliness between Chainfire and King team. It is a pain but it can still be removed or replaced no problem. I wrote a whole guide how to do it.

Literally millions have achieved root with KingRoot and for many is the only way they can.

I dont advocate it nor am I against it.

Dont judge something until you've tried it.

I'll say no more on the matter now as I'm getting dizzy. :rolleyes:

1) I don't know if it works in my A5 2016 510M, can't find a compatible list or a report.
