Scan your badge with NFC Tools app, does it read anything ?

Haha, that's awesome! Thanks! Sorry I was so dense, I have a new baby, so I don't sleep anymore, lol... Thanks!

Thanks for trying, but my screen minimum brightness is already low like I want it, I just don't like that the phone dims to minimum brightness automatically when battery level drains to 5%. There is no way I have found so far to disable that.

Yep, its off. I even tried enabling it then disabling again, just in case... Its not in the build.prop or anywhere else I have looked... Anyone have any ideas?

Tasker might be a better app, it is extremely customizable...

It depends on what kind of card. Do you know the brand name or anything?

Edited my last post, you are probably right about not completely draining the battery, certainly not all the time, but extra batteries are cheap, so I don't care, I have my minimum brightness extremely low, so when it dims at 5% if I am anywhere but a dark room I can't see anything...

As I understand them, modern li-ion/li-po batteries are engineered well enough to drain and charge them fully without harm - draining to 50% and charging twice does essentially the same thing to the battery's "lifespan" as draining all the way and charging once. Unless you are wandering around...

Does anyone know of a way to stop the phone from lowering screen to minimum brightness when battery goes under 5%? I asked in the main Q&A thread and no one understood... I have all the battery savings settings turned off, but it still dims at 5%.

I'm assuming you haven't frozen/disabled anything, and your apps are updated in the play store, right? Not trying to insult you, but I have skipped obvious steps and not realized before, so I thought I should ask...

Were you using Xposed modules or anything like that? Any special settings you may have changed? I haven't seen anything like this, so its likely on your end, but tough to say where... Did you dirty flash? That can cause some really weird stuff...

Nope, I leave that off, but the screen dims at 5% anyway.... Doesn't everyone else's? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Does anyone have a way to stop the screen from auto-dimming when battery drops to 5%? I am rooted on Eclipse/NC2 ROM, and have spare batteries for emergencies, and this is extremely annoying... Or even change it to only happen at 1% instead of 5%, if it cannot be disabled.... Thoughts? Clues...

Ooh, I have a bug that seems repeatable... When using messenger, and replying to an incoming text directly from the popup text screen, if another text comes in while you are typing, it pops up and erases the text you have already entered, forcing you to re-type what you already wrote. Still by...

They could not figure it out... It was possible but difficult back when we only had 3G, but the 4G phones can't activate without a 3G connection... Until VoLTE gets up and running, I assume... The new phone is running with my old SIM, but I wanted to activate the old phone with the brand new...

When you go to settings and then "languages and input", what keyboard is there as your default? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Which safestrap do you have installed? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

It was an educated guess, I was wrong. My apologies. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Or... you want people to go to your blog so you can get more traffic despite the fact that the newest post on there is from like 2 years ago? I'm good...

Copy worked fine, hang on ill try paste... Please take a moment to purchase the new EP for only $2.97 and then help us let the Nope. Paste works too. Is it always, even a few words, or are you working with a huge block of text? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Thanks, I have the same card, and I believe it is working correctly now... Unmounted and remounted once after reflashing the ROM, and wiping cache and dalvik, and it seems good now. Thanks for responding! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Search again, by the way, you can do it now... Just wanted to let you know in case you stopped reading here Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I have never met someone who wanted to see ads before... Cheers! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

In the future, make it a habit to do a full backup in safestrap recovery before changing stuff, I have gone through this a time or two, don't allow yourself to get complacent and take shortcuts! Good luck! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Your only option is Odin, I would say find a friend with a windows computer... Then once you are back on track, read on this forum about safestrap before you flash anything else... Good luck! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

They don't work yet, but it is being worked on, be patient, make backups! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Mine has done that on occasion, though it seems more like possibly the minimum brightness for the SS splash screen is set really low... But other times it is normal and bright, so who knows? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk ---------- Post added at 07:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at...

OK, then it is possible, that's all I needed to know. May have to reflash Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

It stopped when I upgraded to KK, and MX video player can read from it to see that files exist, but can't play or move the files, and nothing else I have tried can even read it. It certainly acts like the problem is the permissions, but I've tried repeatedly and they are right now, and no luck...

That's why I was asking, I tried and it doesn't work, and then I tried editing the file manually, and after a reboot then it did work, but only for 5 minutes or so, and now no luck no matter what I do... Very strange. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

So can someone confirm that after flashing this, my external SD card should work again, right? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

This is crazy... The extSdCard access worked just like it should have for about ten minutes, and I changed nothing else, and it went back to not working... The changes I made to the file stayed there, I have no clue... Edit: I was trying to reply to my earlier comment, don't think the first...

Yes, 3.72 is the only one that will work with Android 4.4.2, use that one! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Does anyone know how I might try to activate a 4G phone on Verizon's network while here in Alaska? Verizon has 4G towers, but rents 3g towers, and the phones use 3g to activate a SIM card the first time. I have two phones, one I with a SIM card I activated in the lower 48, and it activates any...

Install the KitKat safestrap, open the app, click "install", then reboot. When the weird splash screen with the red robot thing on it pops up, you tap either recovery, or normal boot... OK don't remember the text of the button on the right but the left one is recovery, the right one is boot...

While we were joking a bit, this is very good advice, not just for our phones, but everything computer related: If it's only backed up in one place, it's not backed up! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

So, casually looking through here I think I may be the only one who still couldn't access ExtSdCard after flashing this ROM, but it was a simple fix... in /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml the group "sdcard_rw" was missing from the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, so I copied it over from...

If you wanted to be super-paranoid, a better practise might be to make two backups, if they are essential, maybe even one on the external sdcard and one internal memory... That would give me more peace of mind personally, since as long as power wasn't interrupted while making the backup, the...

Fantastic! Fixed it for me as well.

This is the best battery/case ever! A bit tough to put case on/take it off, but battery lasts long enough that it doesn't matter! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I will gladly review one! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Screen Brightness up. All "smart settings" on. NFC on. Fire up aTorrent and start downloading all the things! Broadcast WiFi hotspot, fire up Bluetooth, open a GPS app, place a widget on the home screen that updates every second, and play a 3D game... You will drain fairly quickly... Sent from...

Thanks for the work you guys do! I am having some trouble though, I flashed this in safe strap, it appears to work fine and my phone tells me it is broadcasting, but my tablet sitting next to it does not "see" the hotspot at all... Any suggestions? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk...

[email protected] I would certainly like to try it! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Nothing? ... Anyone? Well, crap... Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk

So it finally happened... I flashed something or other that did not agree with the phone, and my Nandroid backup refused to restore, or was corrupted, and no combo of anything in the phone that I tried would boot... I finally just wiped the memory. Over a year I fried the charging/data port so...

Sadly, I don't think so... Damn shame, this is the best Rom for the Tf201 out there... Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk

Anyone else having download problems? I click the links, but the site with the kernel won't load for me... Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

donations! I cant thank you enough for this ROM, I was getting a bit depressed yesterday looking for an updated ROM, then discovered this gem. My donation is on its way shortly, though I wish I could send more... Thanks!
