[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers] malaccio:
I think I should root my note..

But I have doubts regarding some "secure" apps could not work cause they chek if the phone is rooted.. I m taljing about bank app, pay tv app (Sky in italy)..

Anyone have a experience with these apps?

Another question, for root permission I understood I have to flash a twrp recovery as well, true?

If one day I want to return "stock", is it sufficient to flash the stock firmware by Odin?

I don't know if it works on the new S8 Software, but on my Galaxy S7 with Nougat it works perfectly :laugh:

In a few days i can test it on my Note FE :o
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers] meetwinz:
Try this!

No need to do any rooting to your Note FE

I live in Korea and there are a lot of application which disable the sound from stock camera.

Copy this word and check it out on ggplay

[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers] zamzenos:
Read the instructions in the OP here: https://xdaforums.com/note-fe/development/root-note-fe-t3648736. As rooting involves disabling sm-verity, you will not be able to use any app that requires a fully secure device. Remember to backup your device with TWRP before you modify it.

You can flash stock via Odin when you want to return. Bear in mind that you will lose whatever modification(s) you made to disable the shutter sound.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers] scrumptyous:
Thanks this works perfectly no root!
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers] Hi-TechUp:
Try out this App. It will automatically disable/enable the system volume if you start/close the Stock camera or other Apps you have selected in the App Settings. You need no root for this App!

[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers] meetwinz:
Sorry to say but

DID YOU TRY IT????

This application is the application that can mute the stock camera sound for sure..

Please do not blame me and just try it first.

I am using real original stock camera without rooting with no sound right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers] meetwinz:
Sorry to here that even I tried to help you.. But I goy blame like I am doing spamimg.

You might not found the application which I mention above (I think you are looking at the difference application)

You can set whatever application you want to mute the sound even youtube, instagram including phone camera. (See in attached photos below)
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers] zelendel:
ITs not just Korea where it is illegal. It is illegal in the states as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers] scrumptyous:
All of my previous devices have had the option to disable the shutter sound... I work in the legal field and never have seen or heard of a case of this being prosecuted here in the States.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Then you really have not done your research.

Here is a simple article that will help. You can do further research if you want.

It took effect with the camera phone predator alert.

[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers] scrumptyous:
I know it was proposed but when did it pass? https://www.congress.gov/bill/111th-congress/house-bill/00414

No disrespect intended but the article you documented is quite old and I've owned a number of devices since 2013. I have no jail broken or rooted devices and still can turn the shutter off on all of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Well see like the phone recording laws you have to go and look on a per state basis. Just because it can do something doesnt mean it is legal in all cases. Like many places require that you get peoples permission before taking phones at a public event. It all depends on your state.

Yes it is old. But that is on purpose. It was the basics for anyone that wants to know more to start off on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers] doc2107:
Works perfect, nearly lost hope to get rid of that annoying shutter sound.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers] regaber:
Thanks a lot, that was very useful. :good:

For anyone interested, I bought this app and it works perfectly (meaning it mutes the stock camera) :

Hello,

Just OTA updated my Galaxy A3 to Nougat (it also seems pretty stable), but the night mode toggle is missing.

Any chance to enable it in dropdown toolbar (just like the S series)?

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] sutty86:
been trying all morning to flash pn rom, had hx of multiple android phones most recent s8 but dont like the thinness of the phone,

prefer pixel much more comfortable

okay managed to get twrp to stick and not delete itself afterwards,

now twrp basically is all random alphanumerical folders!

Any tips guys
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] robocuff:
Just keep rebooting to recovery until TWRP prompts you for your pin or pattern lock. The one you use for locking your phone. It may take several reboots but eventually you'll get the prompt.

What you're seeing with the random folder names is caused by the encryption used on these phones. TWRP can't decrypt it if you don't enter your pin/pattern. The fact that you don't always get prompted for it by TWRP is caused by a bug in TWRP. There's nothing wrong with your phone.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] piperx:
This is not true, I don't use pin, pattern, password on nexus 4, 2 nexus 5, nor my pixel, I don't lock any of them either

I have no problems using twrp, once in a blue moon I get the garbled text, usually after a clean install, just keep rebooting back to twrp usually 2-3 times to you can use it
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bafforosso:
It's really not that hard to flash ROMs on, it just needs to strictly follow order of operations and needs some additional operations compared to other Android phones. A good understanding of the A/B partitions system and how they work and switch helps a lot.

Did you set up a PIN or a Pattern Lock? It is needed for TWRP to be able to decrypt phone.

If you haven't, just boot your phone, go to Settings > Security > Screen lock and set up a Pattern, PIN or Password. Then reboot to Recovery and see if it asks for what you just set up before entering Recovery.

[MENTION=4350758]piperx[/MENTION] I experienced exactly that problem and setting up a lock solved it, good for you that you did not need that but others may do. Is your phone encrypted?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TENN3R:
TWRP gave me problem of encrypted folders a lot of times, even after set a pin/password/pattern.

I just discovered that if you boot to TWRP when you have connected an OTG or the PC that error occurs, but if you unplug the device and input the pin and after that plug what you want, it works.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] sutty86:
appreciated gents will try again now and see how i go, makes sense as 1. i didnt have a lock screen (new setup) and 2. it was plugged into laptop majority of tries!

will update in an hour i hope
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] sutty86:
update finally got pn on the pixel

i had to reboot twrp a few times to get it to ask me for my pattern!

cheers guys
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] sutty86:
kudos given
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] robocuff:
It is true if you use a lock of some kind. If, when you boot to TWRP, you don't get the option to enter your pattern or whatever, you're going to get the garbled text thing. Each and every time.

Hi! I joined to ask for help. I'm a new Android user, and some things seem new or strange, in general quite nice. But this thing happened to me today and I am quite worried.

So my bank sent me a text message yesterday with a pin for my credit card. After 24hours, I get a second message stating the previous had been deleted. How did they have access to my messages? how did they delete it? Can I do anything to prevent things like this from happening again?

I do not feel in control of my device. They say "it was for your security", but I never asked for my data to be destroyed for the sake of my security. This cannot be acceptable. They should have asked.

Please help!

Hi i dont have note 4 but problem started with the note 4 so i want to ask

2 its posible to convert from qmg and pio apk to png apk?

[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ManuProN5:
Well mate. In order:

1. First Samsung started to use the .Qmg and .Pio because of the reason Size/Quality, I mean, for example. A Qmg for an Icon, have 700Kb of Size, but the same, in Png, have 1Mb of Size. The same happens with Pio format.

2. Well, there exist an Apk Conversor, developed by [MENTION=4948919]xperiacle[/MENTION]. And edited by [MENTION=5244417]Ale95[/MENTION] and his team to enable multiple format conversion compatibility. It is called Qmg2Png, and you can find it here https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/themes-apps/app-qmg2png-tool-t3360303 , but: You need to have a phone wich can read Qmg/Pio Image format, if you don't have it, it won't work

People who know any checked method of downgrade SM-A520F? I tryed to downgrade with Smart Switch and Odin to Marshmallow and without any success! Please help
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] dubspace:
I said it many times. Maybe you tried a different method in Smart Switch that doesn't work.

---------- Post added at 21:43 ---------- Previous post was at 21:17 ----------

So here is a method with Smart Switch. If this is different for you, than it's ok.

1. Open Smart Switch (don't plug the device yet)

2. Click "More", then on "Emergency recovery and initialization"

3. A window will pop up. Click on "Device initialization"

4. You need to type the model name and then, click "Search". Then, you need to type the serial number (if you keep the etiquette that was on the back on the device in the box). Then, click "OK".

5. You will have a warning message that your data will be removed. Click "OK".

6. The window with the stock firmware with pop up. Click "OK" and wait to prepare the software.

7. A window will pop up telling you to put the device in download mode. Do it by pressing the power, volume down and the home key at the same time. When the screen pops up, press volume up to enter download mode.

8. Connect the phone to the PC and click "OK" in Smart Switch. Watch the progress and wait until it's done. When it's ready, the device will restart. Now, you can unplug it and setup the phone.
