Hi guys,
I have a Galaxy Note 3 presently and it's having some minor software issues + issues with the loudspeaker. I can't be bothered fixing them - so I'm going to use it as an excuse to upgrade! Therefore, I'm going to get a Note 5. I haven't researched it much but assume it's a big improvement on the Note 3...
I don't use my phone for anything more than calls, messages, emails, Facebook and Snapchat really. I'd like to keep it as stock as possible, but I do need the following features:
1) Bypass exchange security settings on emails that require you to put a PIN/Password to unlock your phone every single time. I have been able to do this on the Note 3.
2) Remove messages from the call log. Not sure if this was fixed in the newer android versions but it was very annoying when I first got my phone. I only want to see calls in my call log.
How can I do the above on the Note 5 with the least amount of stuffing around/customising my phone?
Also, are there any 'must have' accessories for the Note 5? And should I be considering any other phones as alternatives before I go ahead and buy a Note 5?
Cheers

hi ,
i can give you an idea or two ..it's up to you if you want to do it .
Firstly ,i have Note 2,Note 3 Note 4 and Note 5 .
What it did was with my Note 3 was installed a custom Rom Phronesis port of Note5 .
Its a very stable Rom and a clone of Note 5 software. I must admit, it very identical to Note 5 ,smooth ,fast ,no hiccups . ect
Secondly I just check my call log and only see phone calls listed ,no messages .
Thirdly cannot help you with that ,sorry .
Fourthly , as stated i have nearly whole Note range and really enjoy Note5 ,smoothness ,performance battery life on par with my other Notes ..very good
Bottom line ,
Its your decission ?.
good luck
I have a stock N920C ,not rooted .

Thanks mate. With my Note 3, the call log shows messages and calls received/made/missed, which is stupid. You can set it to show only calls, but then it reverts back again. Perhaps this was rectified in newer software versions, but as standard the Note 3 shows calls and messages in the log.
I need a new phone regardless, as my loudspeaker on my current phone is not working, but thanks for the idea.
Any advice on the Exchange Security bypass would be appreciated...

hi ,
I agree that your decision to get new device
is a good idea .Just wanted you to know, if you wanted to keep your "old " Note 3 ,you can spice it up ,(as a second backup device .)
Re the call log and messages ,there's a simple solution .Samsung log converter (free app ..Google Play ) see screenshots .
I used it for my Note 3 and my Note 8.0 tablet ,to seperate log messages from call log works fine on Note 3 and Note 8.0
I am suprised you have not used it ..?
Anyway ,good luck
Thanks alot, that app worked a treat!
Just need some help with the exchange security bypass now...
Thanks
I use an application called nine for my exchange emails it has a bypass built in the app and is far superior to the standard Samsung email app. It's a paid app but for exchange it's the best I've used.

Thanks mate - does your phone need to be rooted to use the bypass? I'm guessing so....?
Need to be rooted to use bypass in the normal email app.

Cheers,
Once rooted, how do I bypass the settings in the normal email app?
Cheers
Hi guys,
I'm told I can probably just root, and check if there are any apps that allow me to bypass the exchange settings.
Failing this, I'm told I could go the Xposed module and apply the fix, or use a ROM which has it built in. Which path should I go down? What's the difference?
Cheers
I am using a menu as described here http://tasker.dinglisch.net/userguide/en/help/ah_menu.html. I selected "Icon and Text Menu".
My menu worked fine on Android 6 Marshmallow. After upgrade to Android 7 Nougat, the icons appear, but the text is missing. The menu still works when pressed. I created a new menu from scratch and it's the same.
Please can anyone else on Nougat report if they see the same problem, or if it works fine for them? Any ideas what I might have done wrong please? Maybe I lost some Tasker setting during the upgrade? I had a quick look in the log but I can't really understand it.
Nexus 5X, stock Android rooted, Tasker 4.8u5 (latest on Google Play at time of writing).
I've got the same problem on 2 phones (Nexus 6 and 6p). I've noticed this problem since the previews this summer. I haven't found any solution. One phone is 100% stock bootloader still locked. I don't think that has anything to do with it.
Same problem here on Pixel with Android 7.1. The icons show up, but the title and menu text is absent.
Hi. Same problem on HTC 10 after stock ota upgrade. Updating tasker to last version solved the problem for me!
Thanks ddobiest - please could you tell us what version you are on?
Unfortunately still not working for me on Tasker 4.9u4 which is the latest version that I can see in Play Store.
This worked for me. Changed text colors to anything and it displays now. I can't post links, but it was on reddit, popup_command_gives_no_text_in_black_box_android

Great, many thanks that fixed it. Reddit article is here. Where the article said to change "Scenes tab/Popup" I had to change "Icon and Text menu" instead because that's what my menu was set to. It took 5-10 minutes of fiddling with settings, what seemed like redundantly resaving the same as I already had. I'm not exactly sure which one worked in the end, but if you have the same problem, persevere and you will solve it.
hi probably this was discussed already but still cant
find any solution.
note 2 3 and 4 have a option to write on calendar in monthly view samsung cut that for note 5.i was hoping they will bring it back with nougat update but they didnt. so my question is did anyone found solution to have this option back like to install old splanner from note 4 or some similar app.
thanks
Can someone help me? Don't have a clue why it's there and when I restart phone it dissapears for about 20 minutes then pops back
I've removed all substratum mods except from 'smallerthanhalfnavbar.apk'
I have no weird overlay apps or anything and nothing's changed or been installed for weeks and never came across it before.
I tried some substratum things, but in my case, they were more trouble than beneficial, so I got rid of them

I don't think it has anything to do with substratum, been using it on my S8+ and Note 8 and haven't had any issues. Using several different themes and a couple from the layers thread too. Uninstall your 1/2 nav and reboot just to be sure. Have you installed any new apps right before the issue started?

I've figured out the problem it was the Xbox app for some reason

There is a setting in Nova Launcher that applies an effect that looks like that but since you found the problem it rules that out.
So I recently got bought the Honor Magic watch 2, love everything about it so far except I can't change my watch face theme using the Huawei Health app. The only option I have is adding music. I look at all the reviews on this watch almost everyone has that option. So I'm guessing this has to do with the regional issue I'm located in Canada. Is there any way around this. It's kinda annoying not having that option especially if the watch itself is a global model.
Any suggestions or help would be great.
I am facing same issue in India.
further It happened to see one time in my app, I dont know how, so I set 3 pics but after that again no option in app but those 3 photos are available in my watch and displaying but I cant change the pic as there is no option

I finally got mine to work

Follow these steps
only thing is these steps will not work with an Huawei/Honor phones so you'll need another android works with even the older phones.
You will also need to get a hold of a chinese id (only worked for me when i got a chinese number so if you can find one that hasn't been used it will need it to register)
Keep in min when you first launch the Health app i suggest you to choose china as your region code and register as a new ( with the chinese number)
Hope that helps.
