so this is fun:
bought a new Note 5...
SPEN isn't working properly, when I remove the SPEN from the device, the device doesn't acknowledge it (regardless of whether the screen is on/off)
I rooted the device, thinking that a new rom might help, no luck
now, since it's rooted and KNOX is gone, I'm wondering what to do as far as getting a replacement
Does anyone have any tips?
Thanks!

Yes, just go back to stock and return it. Even if you can't get back to stock go and exchange it, they won't bother checking.
There's no need to wait if it doesn't function properly

Do you have a case on it with a magnet on it by chance?
why do people turn to root when sh't doesn't work right out of the box??? It's baffling! Common sense should tell you to return and get another device that works as it should immediately out of the box. Rooting generally is not to fix what manufactures intended to work in the 1st place. Rooting is for customizations outside of manufacturers default setup. People if your device is not working properly out of the box, more than likely, rooting and flashing a custom rom will not fix the problem. Moreso, you may create an added problem with voiding your warranty! IJS

Hey guys, i got an idea for an interested dev. I dont have a android phone yet, but I've been lurkin around here for a while and have learned a lot from all you guys.
Now, i for one know people who go through others phones. Needless to say, it is annoying. I have an idea to con these guys out of there snooping.
Its a lock screen app that implicates both that we know already, the standard bar swiping one

}
and the combo one
I was thinking maybe we could get an app that let you swipe the bar, like if it was going to open it, but then act like if nothing happened. To actually unlock it, you would put the combo in invisibly, either by swiping through specific sectors, as if the screen were a grid.
This is my idea to you devs for a safer phone.
I like this idea. Would be a good April fools trick too.

hahaaha, i know right. just hope a dev is willing to do it.
Can't imagine it would be that hard since both items are already built.

Hmm well on cyanogenmod you can just hide the "dots" on the Pattern-lock. I use it currently. My current background is black, so that's why it's all black. It's just an extra security measure. Anyone without an android phone wouldn't really know what to do considering it doesn't even show the "Incorrect pattern" message (which you can turn on or off).
Note that this is the normal pattern lock with just everything hidden (except for the cyanogenmod message at the top, which can be turned off/changed to something else.) There's no slide-unlock then pattern-unlock, just pattern-unlock.

Hi guys, I have sent my phone off for repair to HTC as i have had WI-FI issues basically since I bought the phone last year,the wi-fi disconnects at weaker areas,whereas the other phones i have tested work fine..I have only recently realised that thi was a manufacturing issue after reading reviews online.So I have decided to send the phone off for repair, a week later (today) I get a quotation from HTC of £187! Bear in mind I still have warranty on my phone..HTC initially did not state the reason why I have received the charge,they just claimed that the work required was caused by the damage that isn't covered by warranty. So i went onto HTC chat and spoke to someone called Wioleta,she eventually told me that I have installed "unauthorized software" on my phone. Now I PROMISE YOU guys, i have not done any tweaking on my phone for a long long time...before I did install a ROM rooted my phone etc, but i had to set everything to default settings as i have sent the phone off before because of a different issue ( coloured lines on my phone - if you guys remember), I have done the procedure correctly and HAVE NOT been charged by HTC for the repair,so it was done free...ever since the repair I have not done any modifications to my phone or downloaded any illegal software...So I would like to know why they said i have done this and is it possible that they could have done this?? I have attached a picture of what Wioleta has sent me on chat...I think there is a mistake somewhere because i am innocent...and I have already sent them a complaint about it, but I really need my phone back... please can somebody give me some advice on how to tackle these twats! Thanks for reading.

Your warranty is void the moment you unlock your bootloader. It does not reinitialize when you return to stock it remsins void. There is no fighting it. Htc is in the right.
Today there was a very strange business in my cell, follows a print screen, it looks like a tv with no signal, there are times that he calls normal, and most often is as pictured, someone any idea what can be?

Send it back through RMA.

I suggest flashing full factory images prior to RMA to see if it will solve your problems.

already did and did not work, what do not understand is that sometimes it is normal is more pressing the power button is well again :crying:
NOTE: I imported my phone, do not know if the warranty work in Brazil!
So this is the same if you try and boot into fastboot? If so, the phone is screwed so you'd need to get in touch with the importer as they should be covering the warranty

Someone else had this issue a few days ago and they said they replaced the screen and the screen still remained fuzzy. I honestly believe it's a bad ribbon connector unopposed to a loose one. I asked the person to make sure its on there tight and they said it was.
I'd like to know what the issue is so if I run into the problem I know exactly what to do but changing the screen is a waste of time. Numerous users changed the screen and the problem remained. This issue is all over the internet and it isn't just a Nexus 5 issue. I've seen Droid DNA's, Evo's etc.

Is there any way whatsoever to make it ask me what default app I want to choose each time. As in, the old Just Once/Alway complete action dialog?
I've tried Complete Action Plus. Doesn't seem to have any effect.

Nope. It's lollipop forced. Maybe marshmallow it changes... Get used to it.

I'd love this too, but unfortunately I don't think there is. Sucks because I have to keep switching between Adobe and Write on PDF for my business. **** is annoying.

I just came across something last night that's a decent workaround for most things.
Better Open With (sorry, no link; new member) prompts you with it's own UI, which is still pretty intuitive. It works by having you set the default application for each intent it supports (which isn't a lot, but it's most) to itself. Then, when you open something, it will bring up it's own dialog box that's pretty similar to the old style.
It doesn't have as much customization as Complete Action Plus did, but it gets you 80% there.

I thought it was lollipop forced as well, but both my Note 4 and my Note 10.1 2014 are running 5.1.1 and give me the choice of running specific apps just once or always, could it be the Note 5?

Is there a way to stop the auto update to 12? I had to send mine to Nokia to get downgraded back to 11 cause for one thing, it killed the dual SIM capability. Then, i just hate the UI and refuse to pay for apps to fix the look. I have looked everywhere and all the guides say to go to a certain place and disable them, but that doesnt exist in Android ONE i guess. I dont really want to try a custom ROM cause im sure it wont support dual SIM either.
Find the OTA update app and do a adb edit to disable it. Package Disabler has a variant for model other than Samsung, that might work too.
On Samsung's they look like this, ws.dm is the prime offender...

I would not recommend this sites app to anyone. I tried to buy it last night and 24hrs later, I still have no app to download. I found your post from a Google search. Email went unanswered.

Give them a business day or two... jeeesze. Do a charge back on the card if you must. I've been using them for over 3 years, no worries, as I am now.
