does dirty santa work on the att version with the dec. security update

Any way to increase resolution on youtube from 720p to 1080 or better?

I have a question, and please beware that I am a complete idiot when it comes to technology, so if someone can help me, please talk to me like you are speaking to a kindergartener!
Ok I've had my phone since the first week of December. Have never had any problems communicating to anyone - call, txt, FB, msngr, etc. For the past couple days, I have 1 contact who can txt me, call me, I can call him, but he does not receive my texts. I've tried another site like this, but nobody answered me. While this is not dire, it is extremely frustrating as we are not able to drop what we are doing at work to call the other. I've tried everything (I think) and truth be told, I've pushed so many dang buttons I probably have this whole phone out of sorts. Oh, we are both with Verizon. We both have android devices. Any suggestions, ideas? Thank you!

No it dont

Do you have to have a lock set up on the lock screen in order to be able to use finger print sensor? I want to use the fingerprint login for specific apps - Lastpass, bank etc. But I don't want to have my phone locked with anything more than a swipe. It seems whenever I disable locking on the lock screen, it also deletes my fingerprints. Is there a solution to this limitation?

anyway to install just twrp and no root?
I wanna do this so that i can use my work email (required non root)

Question.. I am on Team Devdigitel's rooted stock ROM.
Anything we have to specifically back up in TWRP before making customizations? Flashing mods, changes for system UI, etc. Is the backup and restore process the same as it was with my galaxy? I ask because LG seems to be doing things so different lol. Thanks

V20 boot
Hello, I have a v20 and its rooted, when it boots it gives me the " your phone can't be trusted" screen. I was wondering if there is a way to get rid of that screen without unrooting?

what version do you have? att, vzw, sprint? and were there any errors when you did the dirty santa unlock method?

Hi, I just ordered an unlocked H990DS from Australia. Of course it will come with that region code. LG-firmwares .com doesn't have firmware for my region.
Does the region affect the performance/bands or anything of the phone, or only which languages are available?
What other effect would having the wrong region firmware have?
thanks, Edwin

I think it would generally affect the bands and the language but im not entirely sure. What region are you thinking about putting on it?

Is there a way to set the wide angle camera as the default camera so that 3rd party apps use the wide angle rear camera instead of the current primary?

V20 from tmobile (h918) not working with cricket sim
Hi everyone I just purchases this confirmed unlocked device from ebay and I'm not getting any service on cricket. It works when I tried with an Att sim card, or a foreign sim. I changed all the settings and still no luck. It's strange because when I put my cricket wireless sim I no service (it shows that it is searching for service) but the phone shows I have voice messages and the settings page shows my phone number. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
Hi, since CM12.1 is supposed to have dual SIM card support from 5.1 I was wondering if anyone tried flashing cm12.1 -TN-klte on G900FD to see if it would connect to mobile networks?
From what I've read, flashing CM12 klte to S5 Duos model makes everything work EXCEPT being able to connect to mobile network and noone yet figured out how to fix it.
Anyone had success with this ROM?6
Klteusc bugs
New to this thread but have been running these builds. Great work! This is only the third device I have installed a custom rom on. The build from yesterday morning broke outgoing messages so I rolled back to 4/4. Bluetooth audio stutters. I run SwiftKey and it seems a custom keyboard will force close on occasion. Calling delay is fixed for me. My cellular data takes some time after reboot to connect. Loving 5.1!

System UI crashes
Every time I update the rom to the latest version I get the System UI crashses error right after startup! This happens since the 11.04 version!
I tried even the 13.04 version and it still crashes after update!
changing lock screen shortcut crushing the UI
Hi guys,
great work, the best CM based I met here.
the only issue (a bit major), is when i tried to replace the lock screen UI,
from Dialer (Default) to Maps (google), the rom had UI crushes, and only wipe data release it.
Thanks a lot for everything
@vinman12 : I have downloaded and installed VM12.2-20150424-3.0.0-klte on my Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) and it's fast, stable and cool!
All funtions I use (i don't use NFC for instance) are working fine!
Looking forward to new updates
Thanks!
Buttons on Lower Screen
The added soft buttons (similar to what the LG G3 uses) on bottom of screen... I see that there is an edit menu to move them etc; however, is there a way to remove them? (Either way, It wont even let me edit them, I cant drag and drop them nor double click on them, etc)

DISREGARD. Found it. Referred to as Navigation Bar. My Apologies
Awesome!
Thank you, this is a great ROM so far. Love the stability and smoothness of it compared to the s*** 5.0 build from Sprint.
My only question is how, if possible, can I remove the on-screen softkeys? The GS5 has capacitive buttons built in for app switcher and Back. So I have 2 each of Home, App Switcher, and Back buttons. I've scoured Google, XDA, and every setting I can find in the phone itself, and the best I can find is this page, but it only seems to allow me to add buttons and not take them away.

really not sure how to do that and time is not on my side. lol
below is the changelog:
http://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KB425950
Upgrade Device Software for the Motorola Nexus 6 (XT1103)
Instructions :
Update summary
Effective January 13, 2016 Motorola / Google released an Android (6.0.1) update for the Nexus 6 (XT1103) via a rolling Google Over the Air (GOTA) download. A Wi-Fi connection is not required.
What's changing?
OS upgrade to Android 6.0 Marshmallow
https://www.android.com/versions/marshmallow-6-0/
Performance Improvements
What to expect after the update
Although there should be no impacts to settings or data, we recommend that you back up your media files to a PC or using a favorite application (from the Play Store), prior to upgrading the software.
How to update
Google will use a "slow roll" GOTA campaign that starts with 5% of the ELIGIBLE users on day one and ramps up availability to 100% by the end of the first week.
If a user checks for the update via settings before their device is eligible for the rolling GOTA campaign they will see the message that indicates the device software is currently up to date. Users cannot pull the update via Settings.
Once eligible and in Wi-Fi coverage, the download will take place automatically and the user will then prompted to install the update.
Upon receipt of the GOTA notification the customer should:
Ensure the device is sufficiently charged
Connect to Wi-Fi
Select "Install"
How to verify the update
Select Settings from application tray or pull down menu.
Select the More box in the top right corner
Select About Device.
The following information displays:
Software Version: MMB29K
Upgrade file size: 755MB

No sweat. Since I happened to be at my computer I was able to pull it. Link is in my other post.
started the upgrade and the stupid att intro screen tone is still ear shattering loud. how could they not fix that???
stuck on optimizing apps for the time being.
It's about time they did it. They literally skipped the entire 6.0 update. Felt sorry for att users lol.
My phone had been running fine but felt sluggish at times. This feels so much snappier. Not sure if it is the cache flush or the upgrade.... Or both. Either way it feels nice. Curious how the battery life is after a full day running it.
Anyone getting another OTA for MMB29S after receiving MMB29K?

Would have to be a flashable zip to use with TWRP and that isn't.

			
				
Does this have the Dec or Jan security update? I have an unlocked Google version on AT&T. I was able to get the 6.0.1 and Dec security update before installing my ATT sim. No updates since even if I remove the SIM and stay on Wifi. Don't understand why I can't pull the Jan security update since I thought Google pushed those. I have a friend on 5X on ATT that has received it.
Only December update.
Good news is you can sideload the January update however!

Tab 4 SM-t337a Lollipop 5.1.1 Brick Problem?

Hello all - I have spent the last several days searching the web for a solution and I fear I may be stuck. From what I can gather, there is no stock firmware image of 5.1.1 that I can use on my t337a Tab to restore to factory. I installed KingoRoot from the play store and then tried to install Xposed Framework. This is when all hell broke loose. I am not familiar with android as I am an ios guy and admittedly did not spend enough time researching. I now must defer to the world and accept the flaming that will almost certainly ensue. Here is the info I have:
Lollipop 5.1.1 was the starting point.
SM-t337a tab 4 8"
Knox Warranty 0x0 (not sure if that matters)
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Reactivation Lock: Off
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable (csb)
RP AWREV: s1, t2, r1, a2, p1
Secure Download: Enable
UDC Start
Sorry if that means nothing but I want to be thorough if anyone is willing to help. I have tried the LP Boot Fix with no luck. I boot to the AT&T logo and after a few secs it locks up and sits there. I have attempted to downgrade to KK but the write failed (auth). I believe I need to flash a pit file? but before I jump back in, I thought I would consult some people more educated than I am. My understanding is there may be a way to take it to a retailer and have them reflash but that would be admitting defeat.
Thanks in advance for any help offered. If more info is needed, I will get it promptly.
This may be in the wrong place. Can a mod move it where it should be? Sorry
Man, I must be screwed! I really thought I would be able to get out of this one. Is there not an expert out there that can point me in the right direction?
I had the same exact problem basically.
Here is how I fixed it:
I found a stock rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/links-galaxy-tab-4-official-lollipop-5-t3102844
And I used this guide here: https://androidmtk.com/flash-samsung-stock-rom-using-odin.
This will require a PC, and a way to connect your device to it.

Awesome! You have a SM-T337A as well? My biggest issue is AT&T locking it down.
restore back to stock rom
I have a t337a also and restoring back to stock rom fixed mine. I really wish there were a way to root and install rom on this thing. I have now been searching for another tablet that I can root. Seems like such a waste. I like this device so it's really frustrating at thus point and not an easy conversation with the wife why I need amother tablet.

Did that link to the stock rom? I thought that was an ota that I could not use. Do you have a link to the stop rom you used?
He must have never updated to Lollipop. Once you do that, your screwed. There IS NO OFFICIAL FIRMWARE FOR THIS DEVICE RUNNING LOLLIPOP!!!! You can bring it to a Samsung Service Center in Best Buy but once they see the custom lock on your boot screen, they will know that you messed around with it, and they will not flash it. From what they told me, once your tablet goes into custom kernel status, their software will not be able to restore the firmware. Not sure if this last part is true, but what is true is that there is NO FIRMWARE ONLINE ANYWHERE FOR THIS DEVICE RUNNING LOLLIPOP. I've been screwed for several months now over this same issue. I went on E-bay and bought the unlocked T-mobile version of the Tab 4 which does have the software available. I will NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER AT&T DEVICE EVER!!!!! I will have AT&T service but I will use a T-mobile device.
This is what I see when I try that method.

That's a update file and you must be on stock unrooted Kit Kat to flash that. That's why you are getting the status 7 error. Like I said, you are screwed like everyone else. Your only hope is bringing it to best buy and u have better luck than I did.

Yeah, when you do a factory reset or flash firmware, it will take longer to boot. Its like a new device, booting for the first time.

thats not only changing the letter. thats a FULL phone version. KDZs are restore files. they overwrite EVERYTHING on the phone with what you update it to. so not only will it say v10d but itll also now say sea instead of twn. it will overwrite your modem, apns, pretty much EVERYTHING on the phone. my previous statement still stands. best case nothing. worst case brick.

Oh, I think you do.
I think I do too.
Am I a bad person for wanting to see what happens when you deliberately force something where it doesn't belong?
guys, is there a reason why you have to be so cryptic about it?
nobody is forcing you to reply to a post, if you think it's a too stupid question to put up with.
if you want to help just feel free to, otherwise just stop replying all annoyed. it's THAT easy.

Then by all means, if you feel you know your device better than the person who exploited the holes needed to bootloader' unlock and root your device, have at it.
Quite frankly, I'm curious too.
I just think I know better than to intentionally flash software that has no business being on my phone.
*Your* device?
Do what you want.
Otherwise I think me2151's original answer still fits - best case, nothing. Second best, no service. Worst case, you trashed your phone and it's now permanently useless.
I've done, i share the results

nope, that's the way you want to read into my words.
all I meant to say was: you don't need to reply all annoyed to someone asking for some information. it wasn't even one of those questions you see asked over and over again. but from the first post you guys had to act all tough and douche.
you think it's something dangerous to do? just say careful, I would advise against doing it. you don't care to help? just shush.

i install the driver and use LGUP to upgrade the firmware.
i had used the v10e-sea-xx FW

Will it disable OTA updates after that ?
Will it affect radio signaling ?
Will it wipe data through the process ?
Thanks in advance for answers
