Reposting because I got missed before: My Note 4 keeps "losing" my wifi trusted credentials for my work wifi. Every morning when I come in, I have to modify the wifi settings for this network and my CA Certificate and User Certificate will say "(unspecified)". If I try to click the menu to select my certificate, it won't appear in the list. If I go look in the Trusted Credentials screen in system settings, the cert is definitely there! Nevertheless, the only way to get it to work is to reinstall the certificate and reselect it on the wifi settings. It'll then work for the rest of the day, but every morning I do this dance. I've even tried re-exporting the certificate from my computer to make sure it wasn't a corrupt cert file.

7 Bowls of Wrath posted:I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but my Note 4 loses my work's wifi username/password credentials as well, but only after i disable/re-enable wifi via the toggle. It stays persistent over a reboot and everything, only when I toggle wifi while at work does it require me to re-enter my login and password info. I never toggle wifi. This issue just happens every day when I get to work. It's the weirdest thing.

LeftistMuslimObama posted:Reposting because I got missed before: After some more loving around, it also loses the ability to see the certs after a reboot. I'd tried deleting all my credentials, rebooting, installing the new ones, rebooting, and then connecting to wifi, but at that last step the installed credential didn't appear in the wifi menu, even though they're right there in the trusted credentials security screen. After re-reinstalling them from my email they're working (for now). This is honestly one of the most obnoxious bugs I've ever had to deal with.

I just got a Note 4 and deliberately decided not to root and do custom stuff after the nightmare that was keeping my S3 going. The way everyone here talks, I was bracing myself to cope with a horrendous experience. Instead, my only gripe has been that I can't block ads and there's a weird bug where it won't remember my works wifi certificates. There's some janky colors here and there, I guess, if you care about that kind of thing, but everything works so well that I don't really get the hate anymore.

Three Olives posted:It's funny how this is now the prevailing wisdom when it wasn't that long ago that phone makers were very upfront that phones were getting bigger because LTE chipsets and the processors that Android needed not to run like dog poo poo required bigger batteries and the batteries were driving screen size. That's stupid. Increasing the screen size would increase the drain on the battery too. If that was the reasoning, phones would be getting bigger without the screens themselves upsizing.

The USC Note 4 finally got the Lollipop update last night. It's... not that different. Aside from lockscreen notifications and the color-changing notification shade, I haven't found much of anything that changed. I guess ART is there now. It seems like Samsung's implementation of 4.4 already did most of what they added in AOSP lollipop. Any other Note 4 owners have cool tips on stuff I'm missing?

Has anyone posted about the lollipop easter egg? At least on my note 4, if you go into the phone's about information and mash on the Android version a bunch, a lollipop appears. If you swirl your finger around on it, a flappy bird clone opens with the android guy as the bird. Also, I can't find any way to change themes on my note 4. Is that a note 3 only thing?

I just factory reset my old GSIII for my bro to replace a lovely freebie ZTE he has, and boy did it remind me how bad Android sucked until even a few months ago. The SIII only got updates to 4.1, and it is just ugly and frustrating to interact with. It's ridiculous what a huge leap forward Lollipop is.

Thermopyle posted:I just factory reset my phone because I was having weird issues that I didn't feel like troubleshooting. Plus it gave me a chance to reevaluate what apps I want to keep installed. It's pretty ridiculous that custom recoveries have been able to do this since before the Froyo days and Google still doesn't have it in the stock recovery. Even if they argue it's an "advanced feature" that might confused normal users, it's not like normal users know how to boot into recovery anyway.

I feel like it's detrimental that Google has fallen into the trap of needing to do big named releases. It sets expectations with consumers that there will be big new features every X months and that things must be this way. It's how software has been forever, but it frequently pushes developers into pushing out things that are half done or don't work well because they need to justify a "big" release. There's movement in the software industry at large to just release patches in bundles as they become available and only release big features when they're really ready, rather than as part of a big version dev cycle. Google even does it with Chrome (somewhat), but on Android they've stuck on having distinct big releases. Rolling functional stuff into the Google Play Services APK was smart, but they should really abandon the dessert cycle altogether. Especially considering how half-finished Android still is on the whole.

spincube posted:Who says there has to be some kind of keystone feature? I'd imagine a dessert codename, going down the alphabet year-on-year, is at least easier to understand than '2.3 -> 4.0 -> 4.1 -> 4.4 -> 5.0' for phone OS release cycles: it doesn't mean peoples' phones will ever be updated, of course, just that it might be a little more obvious exactly how out of date they are I don't think the versioning should be so promoted to users at all. Your phone should just say "you have updates" when there's updates. The only people who actually care about versioning are big ole dorks like us and we can follow version numbers just fine.

Desk Lamp posted:This is the most annoying part of Android, there's like 50 different ways to do it and all of them are flawed, but Helium is the most straightforward solution I've found so far. Keeping my fingers crossed that the next major Android version addresses this in some way. I have to think that forcing apps to specifically request space in the file system from the OS was a step toward doing this. One of the hardest things for Google to overcome in providing comprehensive app backup would have been the fact that apps could poo poo their files anywhere they pleased in the filesystem and Google couldn't be sure that they were really getting everything when they backed up your app. Taking a "back up the whole file system" approach wouldn't work because you might inadvertently overwrite manufacturer-specific data when restoring across different phones. Now that they've forced everything into siloed directories that the OS can actually keep track of per app, it should be much easier to offer this type of backup. One remaining challenge I can foresee is apps that store configuration or user data in their own cloud service instead of in Google's cloud service. There's not, at present, a great way for Android to detect that an app has data stored on a third-party server somewhere that could be critical for operation, and you can't assume the app will actually intelligently load the needed data on a new device when you first run it. This is probably less of a problem and apps that are this lovely should probably just die, but Google might want to avoid the perception that "backup is broken" if they release it and a bunch of people's garbage apps don't reload their own cloud data correctly.

Factory resetting my Windows laptop is gonna leave old data all over the drive too for any recovery software to prod at.

Vykk.Draygo posted:Probably because, at least on the Moto X, the factory data reset option says It does, in the same way deleting a file on any storage medium erases it. New file system structures are written to the beginning of the storage such that all of the blocks appear free. That screen is telling the user their data will be gone, and to an average phone user it is. The fact that file recovery is possible from an erased but not thoroughly zeroed out storage device isn't news. HDDs work this way, flash works this way, it's always worked this way.

I can't make myself trust Google photos. I know it's overly paranoid, but given things we've heard about NSA analysts passing people's naked selfies around the office, I'm terrified that autobackup would vacuum up some picture of my wife and it's off to be archived by 100 different spy agencies and google employees. I'd be way more comfortable with it if it just threw up a prompt after I took a photo to ask whether it should back it up.

I'm connected to the same Exchange server you are and haven't had any problems with battery in any email app. I'm on lollipop on a note 4. FWIW, Nine is totally worth it, and at least for me there's no battery drain with accepting push email. If Nine is also a big hog on your S6, you might try factory resetting the phone. Maybe there's something screwy with your install of Lollipop.

Mr Executive posted:I posted about this before, but now I have some more concrete info. I bricked my S3 trying to root it, took it back to the US Cellular store on Junction and Mineral Point, and they exchanged it immediately no questions asked. However, I understand that they've been reducing their on-site technical staff this year so you might get more hassle. Now that I know you're on USC, I'd strongly recommend you check out teamuscellular's forums and chat. They have several insiders over there who are very helpful and are generally going to be more useful than here for USC-related stuff because, frankly, USC is a podunk regional carrier now

Mr Executive posted:Update on my US Cellular S6 bluetooth issues. After doing a factory reset, I think the ~30s of bluetooth stuttering is fixed. I tested in my car a couple times this morning and music played perfectly fine immediately after connecting. I got my phone about 5 weeks ago (5.0) and upgraded to 5.1 about 3 weeks ago. I never did a reset after upgrading to 5.1. What'd you end up doing as far as saving as much configuration as you could? My Note 4 has a similar issue where bluetooth audio will intermittently drop for a second or two, then play back really fast until it "catches up".
