Tmob Jingle is diving me insane - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know how to replace it or remove it? I got my unit a bit ago and rooted it already but I can't remember how I killed it on my note 3.

Change ringtone in settings
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Free mobile app

If you mean during the bout sequence/splash screen then you just have to replace that file .gif.... I wouldn't be able to help you with how though as I don't have a clue where it's located on the note 4....
Most custom Roms replace this for you, I'm sure some developers will have some sweetness for you soon.

On my note 3, I put my phone on vibrate before rebooting.

Use a root explorer, navigate to root/system/media/audio/ui and find poweron.ogg
You can delete it or do like I do and just put an "x" after the ogg, that way if you want it back you can just delete the "x" and it functions as normal.
Hope it helps .

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed. Not sure how my question was confusing some people but I had just forgotten where that damn file was stored.

It was confusing people cause you assumed people would know it was the start up screen jingle instead of ringtone. More detail would eliminate this issue.

Looking for Look At Me

I looked far and wide but I can not find the "Look At Me" notification. This was my favorite on my g1. I did find a zip with a lot of ringtones, alarms and notifications:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520138&highlight=notification
But it does NOT have the "Look At Me"
Anyone have it and care to share it?
TIA
Amazingly I couldn't find it neither. I think that this file is actually look at me but named differently. rename to .ogg and see for yourself.

Dang... I have it on my phone... two copies no less!!! I can't figure it out neither, I looked in my /system/media/audio/notifications and in my /sdcard/media/audio/notifications and it's not there... BUT the only double that I have is this F1_new_SMS and the only one that shows up twice in GUI is Look at me so I think it is the same file. Are you sure that what I posted is not what you're looking for? It sound a little different on the phone then it does on my laptop, I am 99.9% positive that it is Look At Me tone, I pulled it straight from JF's RC30
Here's the one from my phone

This is extremely mega necro, BUT I also had the same question now that I upgraded to my Motorola One Vision and could not find this notification.
Now back on topic, I think you might be mistaken, since this is, or quite actually seems to be "Look at Me", or at least of which I know of. I think this because I have previously used an original ZTE Blade and a Sony Xperia XA, both of which have featured this notification on their stock ROMs. Sadly those devices are not really in a state to recover those files anymore, but I managed to find a close to stock ROM for my XA and a custom for the Blade, which I managed to explore.
I'll attach both notification sounds, which seem to be pretty identical to what I had, and definitely identical to what is posted here. This is an actual ZIP file with the 2 OGGs inside.

[Q] AmeriCan Android game resolution is too small!

I have the updated AmeriCan Android build and I downloaded Live Poker from the market. Screen looks fine until you actually get to a poker table and it's too small and cut-off. Would this be a problem with the build, the phone, or the game?

The right place for this question would be the thread of the build you are using.
There you have all the people that use this build and the developers of the build.
They would advice you to read the first post, thoroughly, and the FAQ to wich you can find a link in said first post of said thread.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and it will feed him all his life.
But you may be right with the stalking. I spend all my time searching for posts like this. When I find one, I give the TS an answer that will surely give him a headache. Then I wait around the corner for you to turn up.
Next time you find one of those posts, shaking your head in disbelief, wait a second before you start typing the correct answer. Quiet. Listen closely. Maybe you can hear my sniggering.

No, don't do this if you like the resolution for normal use.
Open the drawer and look for Spare Parts. Uncheck "Compatibility Mode". Now reboot and all your apps will run fine.

It's a bit easier, although the other way isn't that hard.
It depends on what you like. If you like the smaller status bar/icons so you've got a greater view (what you have at the beginning), then do it the way I explained.
If you prefer the bigger status bar/ icons, do it on your way.
Both ways will make the apps work in full screen, but they'll change the viewing experience.

I have the similar problem with this build [JUN23] AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB234 CM71|bkup2sdext234 [KERNEL:ACA512-1].....however, I check all all the posts at where I got this built and found no help. I followed your advice to copy and paste the root folder to android root but after reboot, the problem persists. In fact, my main problem is: all of the icons are really small in and out of the app drawer.
Thanks for your time and help btw

I had it done on my M8. They have to send you a link to the app, and you have to install it, they can't just do it without your permission.
The app will also block any access to keyboard (when they used it, I had to type everything and it specifically states that all access to the screen is currently blocked when typing anything), it basically just lets them use the device a bit, and check some settings to make sure everything is proper.
Just uninstall the app after, and done.

If it was new device, I don't see how they would do that unless they were going to use ATT Locker (which I hate). If to external, then it's just a setting in the phone that'll move everything to the external.
Still, she would have to ask for your permission, which she did. I wouldn't worry about it, they can't get that data anyway.

I called att once when I had my s4. However I had that phone so locked down even they couldn't get a connection established. When they would try to connect they would get a rejection message and my phone would force close the app. They use this to trouble shoot our phones when we call support. They ask you to accept a text link which grants them control of your phone. What you see they see. I do not like this because they can see notifications like text messages in the status bar. You will also be asked to install an apk. I don't like this idea because I have private information on my phone. But someone who is not very literate with phones may need this type of support to fix their phone malfunctions.

I used root browser, and browsed to the "system" folder. Inside that folder is a file called "build.prop"
Open that with text editor, change the line that says
ro.product.model=****** change it to SM-G900H (after the = )
Save and reboot and you should be able to access the apps.

Is your note 4 rooted? If not then you'll not be able to edit the file.

Not giving choice of "Just Once" and "Always"

As the title said, the phone doesn't give me the choice of always or just once, there's only a menu and I can click the app that automatically becomes the "default" app... It sucks as I need to save a pdf from Outlook to One Drive to then open it in write pdf but it won't since one drive is the default app and I don't get the choice...
How do I fix that??
Experiencing the same.. Any fix? And the menu button [(long-press) back button] sometimes doesn't work well.

I may be wrong here, but this may be a feature of Lolipop. In other words, we're not given the choice each time like its previous iterations...

I don't think you can "fix" it but you can undo the default by going to settings then applications then going into default applications and clearing that apps default.
I hate this "feature" depending on what I am doing I always want to use different apps to open files. Come on Samsung (or Google) fix this. I think it is Samsung as I had a G4 and had the option on my G4
Kinda fixed it by using Better Open With from the play store...

I got the 5.1.1 s6 edge update just this morning and it didnt give me a choice, just chose a permanent option just like on note 5 that i got this afternoon. You can always reset defaults, but once you open a link in an app with a specific app, dont you want to keep that choice for the future? I don't mind the change
This is frustrating! I'm going to check out that app. I'm commenting to be a part of this thread for future fixes.
The problem in note 5 . I have note 4 with lollipop 5.1.1 and has no problem
I hate the disappearance of (just once and always) option that i used frequently, hope to fix it in next update
You can go into default apps and clear it. Then choose your app when you open that file. Or, use ES File Explorer to open as. There's no problem with the phone. There cut out unnecessary crap, which I think is better. That screen would always come up and piss people off. Haha.

There's no fix for this, at least for now, I talked with Samsung Customer support they did like that to "please their customers" (I don't understand); it's not a lollipop issue, other models like core prime and others with 5.1.1 still ask always or just once, it's really frustrating, but even more frustrating is to find people out there that is happy with this change, ''unnecessary crap'' they call it, since they do not know how to use their phones looks like they want everybody else to suffer, it's so simple if you do not like it! just click ALWAYS and leave the rest of the people that use their phones for more than just calls, chat and listen to music to keep using our amazing JUST ONCE and let us be happy!!!!, what else we will have to take from Samsung?
NO SD CARD SWAP
NO WATER PROOF
NO BATTERY SWAP
COPYCAT DESIGN
EAR PHONES PLUG AT THE BOTTOM
AND NOW THEY TOOK OUR OPTION TO CHOOSE!!!!
this company it's going backwards or what?
this happened on my note 4 as well with 5.1.1.
the change was completely unnecessary, as people could just click "always" if they wanted. why remove the option?
but for those of us who open diff links in diff apps depending on the context. we are screwed?
has anyone found a fix?

Don't call unnecessary crap to such a smart option just because you only use your cellphone just for chat and Facebook navigation, it's very simple, it's just two options and by simply clicking ALWAYS!!! you can be happy! and leave the rest of us, those who really use our cellphones as smart devices enjoy our freedom to CHOSE!!! and let us be happy with our choice that we miss so much ''JUST ONCE''.

You shouldn't give useless advises, I would if I could, first I have to wait up to 6 months for another swap and second I can't sell it for the price that I paid for the phone which it's dropping very quickly.
Luckily it's not all over and this app will fill the emptiness in the heart of those who miss the liberty of CHOOSING, the app "Better Open With" will make your life easier, it worked for me and don't ask for any information.

Thanks for this app. Just noticed this same issue on my S7 and sometimes I use different browsers for search. So having to go in and clear out the default each time wouldnt have been cool. I like how the app has a countdown and pause as well. Great suggestion.
