oh gotcha, i figured it would be protected that far, any ideas why im being declined?
Maybe its not compatible with that build
Dont see why it would reject it.
Wonder if anyone else is having a similar issue with Magic Rom
Hmmmm (scratching my chin)

well ive downloaded other apps that didnt work with the magic rom and it wasnt "Declined", plus declined sounds like a much more harsh way of saying "it doesnt work on your phone", id expect google to say something like "not compatible" or something lol

Guess your NOT "I'm Feeling Lucky"
You probably don't want it on 5.02 anyway. Screen is flickering for the first 5 sec to the point where I cant even play it and screen goes completely black after that.
If you still want to try it..... nano-backup your 5.02, revert to JF R33and download packman. Since your apps are on SD it will stay there even after you revert to 5.02.
Good luck

well i never play it, and someone asked me to send the pacman apk since there market was messing up, so i figured id check to see if it was protected, and i was declined, i guess i wasnt used to google saying "No!" lol
Ok so I am not new to flashing, in fact I will be honest right now I am being lazy as I wouldnt be surprised a full wipe (reverting to 11a and starting from scratch) would fix my problem. I like to always play around jumping from one rom to the next and recently I wanted to show my gf the G3 functionality through cloudys g3 rom. I have played with it in the past and had no issues, but this time I used knock code. Now for some reason no other stock or modified rom allows knock on to work at all for me. It knock offs just fine, but it wont turn the scren on when you try to knock. My official lg window cover works fine but still even through the window knock on doesnt work. When I flash one of cloudys g3 roms it works fine, but as I am a vs980, and I know, brace yourselves..... I use the stock messaging app..... I like the stock vs980s I have been using.
Any other possible fix other than starting from scratch?
I take it you have it enabled in Settings, Gestures?

Probably wouldn't hurt to back up things and go through the return to stock procedure then just restore your rom.

Well yea but as I mentioned I want to try and get around that ultimatum. I did it to get 4.4.2 but I would like that to be a last resort.
Turn off the knockcode unlock feature. Once you change that, you will have the knock on feature again

Try reflashing the 24a baseband and stock kit Kat rom using this method.

thanks for the suggestions guys but this was the actual solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2724743 . I went into the hidden menu and updated the touch firmware
Once in the hidden menu , how do you reach this option? I looked and couldn't find it.

The last page explains that part.
Anyone else still having this problem after going through the firmware update on the hidden menu? Would really like to not have to reflash to a stock ROM.
Hi all
So I flashed LMY47I onto my Google play Nexus 6, and now all the sensors (brightness, prox, gyro) are disabled. These were working fine before the flash and flash went well.
A few apps from Google play agree that my phone do not have any sensors. This makes me think its not some hardware issues since these are independent sensors.
I have tried clean flash, full wipe, but no changes.
Any ideas? Search in the forum only returns some Samsung stuff.
Thanks in advance
2015/04/25 Update:
Reflashed a few different unofficial roms, as well as official 5.1.0 one last time with full wipe and factory reset. Nothing worked.
Since I feel like I've already spent enough time on this, I just gave up and called google. Quick 5 minutes phone call and a replacement is on its way! At least the service is good :good:

I had the same issue originally with my pre-order unit, I ended up having to RMA it. No matter what I did, I could never get the sensors to start working again. I ended up taking a friends phone, grabbing his entire partition layout and stock dump and it still did not work.
I posted on here with what I think is the same issue. I noticed it with the accelerometer first because screen rotation stopped working, then I realized the compass wasn't working either. I hadn't noticed the light and proximity sensors, but after reading your post I checked and it seems those are broken too. I see the same thing that you are; apps seem to think my phone has no sensors at all. I checked the system logs and it seems that it throws some kind of access denied error when trying to use the sensor API. I haven't been able to fix it in 5.1, however, when I first noticed the issue I flashed the 5.0.1 image and they seemed to be working again (screen rotation worked at least) so I'm pretty sure the hardware is okay. I have just been using my phone with broken sensors, but it's really annoying.

Hm, can you share your RMA process with Google? Did you get in touch with them through call or email?

Any luck? If yes, perhaps you could try a custom 5.1 or 5.1.1 rom and see if the sensors work.
You could play it safe by flashing one of the stock-based custom roms in the development forum.

Have to wait until weekend. Only a business trip and don't have access to my personal computer.
That being said. Definitely a problem if stock image doesn't work... Hm... still considering RMA.
Will report back either way though!

You're welcome. It'll be interesting to see if 5.0.1 works for someone else. Up until now it looked like I was the only one who had this issue.

My RMA process was handled through ATT since it was a pre-order item from them originally. I ended up trying CM12, stock and reflashing the PIT, nothing seemed to correct it so I just wanted to get a new unit as fast as possible.

Didn't work unfortunately.
I've updated the op. Basically I just called up Google and asked for replacement.
Sorry to bump and resurrect a dead thread -- my accelerometer stopped working after I accidentally dropped it on my hard wood floor.
I was able to get it working again by dropping it from 2.5 feet onto my carpet. I know it sounds crazy and dumb -- but that was my last resort before calling Google for a replacement.
All is working perfectly now.
It happened when I dropped my phone in my Carved case. I have dropped it accidentally with a spigen case (2 layers) never had a problem. Not blaming the case but pointing out the correlation.
Not sure why, but a friend has a S8+ tmobile and the install from unknown sources ALWAYS turns itself back to OFF....? Is there some trick to making it stay enabled?
I'm pretty sure it's happening to everyone. Feel like it's their way of saying repeatedly that they would rather you not sideload apps that you probably got for free instead of paying haha. I've done research on this as well as its more of an annoyance. Most likely will have to wait for root
Yep happens on mine also
Yup, here too. Waiting for root sucks! Hopefully something will be verified soon. You guys should really google "SM-N950U root and you'll find a slew of root methods, I'm just too scared to try them. I wish they would just say error and nothing happens rather than have the potential to brick your phone. Oh well, waiting it is.

Trust me, as a dev myself, you dont want to listen to those. They have been tried already. And if they worked, it would be posted all over here as all the s8's on each carrier are the same phone. We are all working diligently to figure it out.
Except me right now. I'm at the doctor refilling my adderall so I can binge work on it all weekend hah

Haha yup I hear you. Thanks for your help on this. Keep healthy bro!
Well I'm sorry the unknown sources not sticking is a real thing... but I'm glad its not just her phone. I was convinced something was wrong and almost reflashed the firmware just because.... but it's obviously that way for whatever the reason. You just have to turn it on before each install I suppose. No big deal.
As for root, the eng boot was leaked or developed or whatever you want to call it... bottom line its in the wild now, so I think sooner rather than later there will be at least a eng boot type of root. Nothing compares to a real unlocked bootloader. *IF* I get a Samsung again, it will be the Exynos ###F model with a unlocked bootloader... But I'm a flashaholic....... otherwise ROOTING is becoming like jailbreaking is for the iPhone (non-existent).... at least for us USA owners anyway
I had this issue at first. This is my first Samsung phone since the Note 3. I thought it was something to do with KNOX. But after a week, I reset my phone, set it up as usual. And now the unknown stays. I can't recall what I did different, but I know wiping it did something.

It's a bug. Should be corrected with a future update.
From what I've done, I believe it's actually Google turning it back on with the feature in settings, verify apps. Just turn it off and it shouldn't turn off the untrusted sources anymore. Since turning it off, I haven't had issues

I think that did the trick for me. I had thought I already turned that off but it came back. Once I disabled that though my unknown sources has stayed at least for a few hours now and through me installing some stuff.
EDIT: there it goes back off again! doesn't seem to be anything we can do

How were you able to change the navigation bar icon colors from the default white to green on your sm-N950?
I have turned ON "UNKNOWN SOURCES" on my phone 2-3 days ago and it is still on.
Anyone still having this problem?
What about the built in security app lookout, I have that and the google play verify off and have never had the developer option turn its self off I think it may be that app blocking harmful apps that we want to sideload by keeping that turned off maybe lol:good::highfive::goodI have had mine on since about mid sept. when i got the phone)

Apparently the smartlock feature has been fixed in the latest firmware update.
But if you want to see the page before you update, open settings\lock screen & security, scroll to the bottom and disable smart lock (google) under trust agents, reboot the phone, go back to trust agents, enable smart lock (google), now go back to the smart lock settings and they will be visable.
Latest firmware has not fixed the issue, at least not for me. Smart lock settings still are blank after every reboot. I still have to use the trust agent trick and reboot again.
htc 10, 7.1.2 LOS ROM, same issue here.
after trying everything mentioned, nothing worked.
so I downloaded a newer google play services via apkmirror
it actually froze the device when trying to enter smart lock... thus I went to apps and uninstalled back to the previous version.
bingo bango we have smart lock settings.
worth a try, you lose no data, and is quicker than clearing cache

U should wait and see if it lasts...
We already know how to make it appear again. The problem is that after a few days, it goes back empty again.

Smart lock is broken. It holds 'trusted devices' for a couple of days, sometimes only hours. It then resets itself and goes back to a blank page. Google don't seem to be interested in fixing it and although Sony keep up with the security updates, it's not covered by that. Don't hold your breath fir a fix anytime soon.

Hey, sorry for not posting sooner, totally forgot.
I hadn't been checking it, but I only use the on body detection. Is the issue that it is blank AND the services stop working, or is it the blank page problem only?
Onbody detection has been working for me since last posting but as mentioned, forgot to keep checking for blank page. Right now I checked and it isn't blank, however, I do flash gapps relatively often to update the apps. I last did this 2 days ago and I'm thinking that is why it isn't blank right now, but I do feel this is a Google issue as it's on multiple devices and my "method" was just another temp. way around the issue.
I will keep checking daily and post again, (I'll try not to forget again) but I do feel it will be blank soon. I wish we could find a permanent solution, but seems that is on Google.
Didn't mean to stir anything up in the thread here, I was just posting what my phone behavior was.
I'll turn on trusted places and see if that continues to work like Onbody has.
I've been checking multiple times a day since my last posting.
So far it hasn't disappeared, but maybe it has something to do with rebooting?
Clearly I don't reboot often. :laugh:
Well... At least Android Pie fixed this issue... It was about time.
