How can i make my kaiser look dead

Hello, i need some ideas from you
how can i make my kaiser not to start, so it will look like "broken"?
like press the power button or soft reset and never start in wm.
i would also like a solution on how to re-fix it by myself after that.
maybe one idea, is to flash it and while flashing soft reset. what will happen then? my thoughts are that it will not start until i re-flash it from the computer.
how about that? and plz don't ask why i want to do this crazy thing
have my reasons

hahaha.
Seriously why would you do such a thing Tedev?

/badboy mode on
maybe to buy from someone a device showing the seller that his produt seems dead, so he can pay less... and, then, turn it back to life to a normal use...
/badboy mode off

Make a note of your current radio version. Enter tricolor bootloader, connect with MTTY and type "task 2a" followed by enter. You can later recover with FrankenKaiser.
Yes, to convince your partner you were not able to answer her calls sometimes requires ingenious tricks

I like the way you think

Great thread about Rom development it is.

If its a Tilt tell them that part of it doesnt work like you intended it to, like the camera doesnt always turn on, or it doesnt always awnser calls. Then after they tell you to reset and w/e DEMAND a new one. They have to replace your device if it is still under warranty.

Change the direction of the phone answer slider

+1 to that, I also would like the same thing

nobody knows anything about this

I don't know why you having a problem with that...my slider is located in the middle and I can slide either way to answer the phone without any problem and any extra app.

If you slide to the right, it rejects the call.

if you have a phone in her right hand is uncomfortable,move the slider to the left when answering the phone,course with one hand because the phone is too big

its more natural to slide to the right, when given the choice (for right handed people i think) so i guess HTC expect people reject more calls than they accept
Id like to flip the answer / call too btw...

Funny, I answer with my left hand and I'm looking for a way to reverse the slide to answer too. I think it would be easier for me to slide to the right to answer! lol

Two OS features are missing in S6!!

I have the phone for two days now, but I noticed that unlike GS4 and GS5, GS6 is missing these two important features!
there is no "answer vibration" feature , so if someone answer my call I can't let the device vibrate!
you can't put a "direct call" icon in the desktop! now you can put contact icon, then after clicking it will take you to the contact page for that person!
Anyone, is this the case with you? anyone know how to solve it?!

Go into the dialer settings and under call alerts you'll find what you're looking for.

I just did a hard reset, still this option is not there
My S6 is from middle east, I think I need to install different ROM!
how about direct call icon in desktop, it is working with you?
thanks for your help!

Don't think it's Samsung. Looks like Google removed the shortcuts for the direct call, email, sms, etc... In lollipop from what I can find. I been searching and not much info on the web about this, guess me and you the few that used that feature.
Sent from my SM-G900T using AllianceR(●)m

it might be, but I used Lollipop in my GS5 and the feature was there!
I am most annoyed about the vibration thing! I even flashed a German ROM in my mobile but the vibrate on answer feature didn't show up! :crying:

Don't think it's the Os it's the phone model ID and product ID , if it's that important change it to a us variant, might not boot though

Direct call is different from a shortcut. With direct call you click the icon and it calls the assigned person. With the shortcut as in the screen you posted, it takes you to the contacts page, where you then call text etc...
Thanks though

Thank you for your answer, this feature is important to me. I tired to install the T-Mobil US ROM. but it failed with Odin! I guess because my phone is G920F. and the T-Mobil pone is G920I.
For the second point, I agree with tenxo. Galaxy phones used to have direct calls.

don't try to flash a different rom since they are different kernel and boorloader. You are going to damage your device...

thanks, but I wish there is a solution for not vibrating on answer

I have GS6 Edge Middle East edition
I have the same problem as yours no call alerts option
I really miss the vibrating feature after answering

I have the European S6 Edge - no call alert settings as well. I would like to remove the call connect tone and enable vibrate on answer. Hope Samsung will add this with the next updates.

This ROM is what you're looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-xtrestolite-pure-edition-1-0-beta-1-t3082467
Now I can't tell you if this ROM will work on your phone, but it has the option to turn on Vibrate on Call. This ROM is also a "LITE" rom, so it de-bloats alot of things. So read carefully, and ask questions BEFORE you flash.

I don't use the ROM (I haven't rooted yet--waiting/hoping of a way to root without tripping KNOX), but I wanted to read about it and that Vibrate on Calls caught my eye because I remember someone asking about that feature. So I came back here to tell you about it. I'm T-Mobile US, so I already have that feature OTB. Weird some don't have that simple feature. Odd. But you're welcome, and good luck!
EDIT: WOW... You've been here since 2010, and you only have 12 posts! How does that happen? You passed 100% of your old posts count in just a week! Lol

How Do I Change Chinese Menus to English?

Hey folks, I'm completely new to the Android club. Bought myself an unlocked Z5 on eBay from, apparently, Taiwan. I was able to check the basic language to English in the Settings menu, but I'm still finding some programs in Chinese, and I don't know how to switch them over to English.
Specifically, there's this round purple icon with what appears to be a set of headphones over a microphone that overlays every screen on the phone. When I click it, I'm introduced to a page in Chinese with two checkboxes at the bottom, and then an OK below that. When I click OK, the phone starts speaking to me in Chinese. lol. There's something in Chinese on the top of the screen that ends with the English word "Lite".
Thanks for any help anyone can offer me!

I bought mine from Taiwan as well and uninstalled the region specific apps. Some of them won't even connect based on your location.

Do you guys don't worry about the originality of these phones? lol

Why? Where do you think 99% of the worlds electronics are made?

agrees but is more likely to buy fake one and how about warranty.

[Q] Bad grammar and spelling in recovery

Brand new all stock S8+, and I just noticed the recovery screen has these misspellings ("Appling", "Selecitevly"). I'm worried this has been tampered with. What's with the "No Support Single SKU..." also? Could you fine folks please check if this is normal? Thank you!

anyone? it takes just 30 secs of your time to check please. if you don't know how to enter recovery mode: power off first then - hold both bixby and volume up buttons and then press power. after vibrate, let go of power button. you'll see the android guy, then wait a few secs and it'll go into recovery. thanks

I have the same thing. I must admit I never read the screen before only now, now that you've mentioned it.

Thank you for checking. 100+ views of my post and no one else cared to check. I don't remember xda being unhelpful like this when I used to be active here in the past.

How do I check it?

Press and hold the power button on your S8 and tap on “Power Off”. The phone will turn off.
Now press the volume up, Bixby and power keys at the same time. Keep them pressed until you see the Samsung boot animation logo.
Release the keys. Wait a few seconds.

Mine has the same thing

Same here

Thank you guys for taking the time. I guess that's on Samsung to fix then. Tho, I'd still like to know what those notes mean.

The only differences with mine is the top row where yours says No support mine says Support and further down where yours says TMB mine says EVR
Everything else is the same.

Unlocked international variant, Exynos CPU.
Looks like the quality assurance guys didn't catch that but then this is not where the usual phone user is prone to go to...
