Safe Mode - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone booted into this? Also, does anyone know what it means and what temporarily disabling third party apps mean?
No, I am not looking to exploit root this way, I'm not an idiot. Just wondering about this

safe mode launch only pre-installed apps (system folder) not third party apps (data folder)
If you want to launch third party app in safe mode, move it from app folder in data to app folder in system

Well yeah, I got that understanding already. I had a brain fart and due to lack of sleep was confused. I was originally trying to find download mode and since it's been forever since I've needed it with the S4 I forgot you had to hold down the Home button as well.

Pnc bank app not working after update

Hi. I use this app quite frequently and after updating last night it seems to have stoped working. When I start it the screen just goes white. Is it possible that the art update caused this?

That "App" is just a link to the mobile site https://m.pnc.com try going there from your browser.

Using reason and logic. Then Yes!
Thx for the reply. I seen the mobile site is identical. I just liked than when using the app and trying to close it it would actually ask if u want to do that and then it would close completly. The stupid phone browser allways stays on in the background.

Gotcha, I use Dolphin HD, so when I hold down the "back" button on the phone it asks me if i want to exit and gives options to clear cache and recent history. 2c
It appears all the banking apps have the same problem after the update. The Bank of America app does exactly the same thing. Maybe it's a security thing.

Proposed force-close fix

Hello,
I recently had a force-close issue on a recent rom (syndicate frozen 1.1.0) where I was overclocking to 1.4ghz and tried to wifi tether. Tether would not start, so I closed it with taskmanager, and restarted tether. Phone instantly rebooted and I was stuck with the apps that were previously running force-closing.
You need to be rooted for this to work.
Make a list of all the apps that are force closing (important that you include your launcher)
I found out that if you go to the "report" button, there is a "more info" button that opens browser (hopefully it still works). From there, do a google search for a free root file system browser apk (there are plenty of them). Download the apk. the pulldown menu should still be working. Once the download finishes, you will get a notification, pull down the bar and install the app. after it installs, you will get a prompt to "open" the app or "close" the window, choose "open". Navigate to your /data/data folder. search for something that resembles an app that keeps force closing. Enter that folder and delete all the files/folders inside. repeat for the rest of the broken apps. Reboot your phone and it should work fine now.
I am asking that all/most rom developers to add another button on the "force close" "report" notification labeled "fix" that deletes the files from the apps data folder.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this just the same thing as going to settings-apps and then clearing data for that app?

ooooorrrr you could goto menu>settings>applications>find the app force closing and click clear data and achieve the same thing a lot easier...
rom developers dont have the ability to add buttons to those windows... those reports goto google or samsung...

I just enable journaling and what is this?
First off, sorry about the misplaced post.
I know it does the same thing, but if you are stuck at a force-close loop and your launcher app will not load, not allowing you to access the app management page; you see the dilemma.

i believe this could be because journaling is disabled. After you get your phone set up the way you want it, make a backup. Then restore the backup and you have journaling enabled. Or at the very least, if you get stuck at a force close loop, you will still have a backup to restore and not have to spend hours setting up all your apps etc.
just sayin'
Can also use JournalingOn.zip to instantly enable journaling.. but always having a bckup on hand is a good thing

[Q] How to uninstall Evernote?

I have tried to disable it but the button is greyed out for me...
Is there anyway to disable it without rooting?
Can you please post a screenshot of what it looks like when you are at the uninstall screen?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
It's called Evernote not Nevernote. It's never going away lol! But seriously just don't use it? You can use your Samsung account and I'm sure the app is really small storagewise.
Root the phone and uninstall with titanium backup
At the screen, there's only two buttons
Force Stop and Disable (but greyed out)
hmm. guess I need to figure out how to root my phone :/

Like the others said it must be a system app. You will have to root to uninstall it, if you want to.

Need help with setting up Tasker for Greenify no root

Hi guys. I don't know if you are familiar with the non root version of greenify, but basically you press the hibernation button and the process goes on by itself.
I tried using tasker to auto hibernate upon display off but it doesn't seem to work. It does indeed start up the hibernation process but it doesn't force close the apps as its intended to do. Can anyone help?

Dumb question, but did you add tasker to the exception list?

Yes I did. I doubt the problem lies within Tasker as such but more the fact that the force closure of apps can't proceed when screen is off. Tasker does its job well.

Make sure u go into accessibility under settings and check the box for tasker if not tasker won't be able to be automatic on stock rom

Got the s5 today, few questions

I like the phone, but the 16gb causes a lot of concern. After downloading my music from Amazon, it's almost gone.
I can't find an option to put music from Amazon on my sd card, is that hte new kit kat "feature"?
Also, the test message preview on my lock screen only says "New Message", ther eused to be an option that gave me a preview of the actual message..is it gone?
On the Note 3, it had a setting where screenshots would enter auto edit mode, came in real handy for me. S5 doesn't seem to have this?
When I disabled my magazine, my home screen transitions isn't continuous ..I know I seen the s5 do this in review videos.
Did you root your phone yet with Towelroot? If so go to play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix and install this to get read/write to your sd card. The other stuff I can't help you with. Sorry.

Not yet. I will this weekend tho. Thanks bud
Before you root you may want to look into fix for SHealth and ISIS Wallet (if you use it). You have to stop SHealth and Health Services in app manager and clear data and cache before you installed Xposed. You may even have to uninstall their updates if I remember as well.
Install xposed and it's service , then update Shealth and it should work fine. Once you get that done install ISIS Root Bypass 3.0 module for xposed and check it in modules and reboot and the Wallet will work fine after that.
These were two things that I use often and really had to get working to be happy with root.

Why put off until tomorrow, what you could do today, and prevent yourself from being screwed by VZW when they push 4.4.3 soon, and Root may not work with it?
In the text messaging app you'll see a setting to display the message on the lockscreen instead of new message.
Plug your phone into the computer and drag and drop the music to the SD or use root explorer to move it there.. You don't need root to do this.
No, the S5 cannot auto enter edit mode as far as I know, maybe clear defaults of gallery and set images to auto open in an editor?
As far as continuous transitions just use apex or Nova.

How did you "disable" My Magazine exactly? I was able to long press home screen, choose Home screen settings, and uncheck My Magazine. This allowed me to scroll continuously or not.

I unchecked it via longpress homescreen. I don't have an option anywhere (that I can find) for continuous scroll

Oh gosh, well that is a problem then. I'll definitely keep my eyes open for a solution. You should let us know if you find one. I'm curious now.

You'll have to edit a file using Root Explorer then if you disable My Magazine you'll have endless home screen scrolling. I use Nova launcher which already has the option in settings. If you definitely have to have the stock launcher and you can't get infinite scrolling to work let me know I'll tell you which file to edit.

I wouldn't have to modify the build prop to get S health to work with xposed?
