Changing to: /mnt/sdcard/

hmm, not good. How do I get access to my pictures on the phone now? Ok, with termux-setup-storage I get a 'storage' directory in home with links. I can access it like so

tingo@kg-core1$ sftp -P 8022 10.1.161.3:storage/

2019-04-15: apps - upgraded to Samsung Internet Browser 9.2.00.70,

2019-03-14: reboot - the phone has been using way too much battery the last few days, so I rebooted it.

2019-02-27: reboot - I rebooted the phone, because of sluggish apps and shorter battery time between charges than usual.

2019-02-25: a short while this evening, the phone and apps on it was very sluggish. If the sluggishness returns, I might have to reboot the phone.

2018-12-12: reboot - I rebooted the phone, because battery consumption has been abnormally high the last two days.

2018-12-02: apps - installed Mobvoi 3.1.0-333.212, permissions: camera, contacts, position, phone, text (SMS), storage +++. The app requires me to register with email address, so I do that. The only thing the app can (supposedly) do, is to upgrade firmware on the earplugs. When I try "Headphone update" it answers "Already the latest version". It doesn't tell me the version number of the currently installed firmware - bummer.

2017-04-14: subscription - during the first 14 days of Telia Smart Kontant, I used 34.9 MB (yes, megabytes) of data over the mobile network. This is very little. Today I "charged" with NOK 50.- and got a message saying that it is 215 MB (texts: 19973, MMS: 19973, speech: 19972 minutes) in my account. I will see how all this plays out.

2017-04-06: today I tried fixing up the contacts from a web browser, in Google Contacts. Still, only 90 of them syncs to the phone. Must be something wrong with the import.

2017-04-05: I removed the google account from the phone, and set it up again. Perhaps that will fix things. Nope, it did not.

2017-04-05: contacts sync problem - try something else: turn off contacts sync in settings, accounts, sync. Then in settings, applications, manage applications find "contacts storage", storage, clear data. Then go back into accounts and turn on contacts sync again. Nope, I still get only some of the contacts in my Google account, not all of them. Crap. Ok, this post might help.

2017-04-05: reboot - I rebooted the phone to see if the contacts sync problem is fixed with a reboot. Nope - it is still not working.

2017-04-05: (phone) contacts - since I converted all my contacts on the phone to google contacts (by using a .csv backup file and importing it into Google contacts) the phone only shows some of the contacts in google contacts.

2016-07-05: Memos - all memos are missing from the Memo (Notater) app, I tried restoring with Kies3, but it just said "Failed to restore the data on SM-G900F". The backup file is named NMemo.nmm, I must check if I can find a program to decode it. 2016-07-05: fixes - after the Android 6.0.1 upgrade, I needed to fix the following Exchange setup for work mail, log in on apps: Withings, Fitbit, Endomondo, Sense, Meetup, Expensify, IF by IFTTT, allow access: Low Battery Notifier -> Fitbit, restore SMS messages and call log via SMS Backup+, Play store - turn off auto update for all apps 2016-07-05: after update - Kies3 says: current firmware version: PDA: PFH / CSC:PFI / PHONE:PFD (NEE).

2016-07-05: update - Android 6.0.1 - I booted my Asus U35jc into win7 to run Kies3 and update the phone. Backup - first I did a backup of the S5 with Kies3. There is a lot of stuff on my phone, so this takes a while. Update - the update needs 3 GB free, so I had to delete some temporary files, uninstall some apps and so on. Retry - ok, now it is "Downloading files for GALAXY S5 software update..." (this takes a while), then the S5 reboots into ODIN mode and starts downloading It says ODIN MODE PRODUCT NAME: SM-G900F CUURENT BINARY: Samsung Official SYSTEM STATUS: Custom REACTIVATION LOCK(KK): OFF KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0 QUALCOMM SECURE BOOT: ENABLE (CSB) AP SWREV: S1, T1, A1, A1, P1 UDC START and a progress bar. When the progress bare reaches 100%, the S5 restarts, and Kies says that the software update is finished, and that I should disconnect and reconnect the cable. The Samsung logo blinks slowly for some minutes, then "Installing applications...", after that I unlock the SIM card, and get a "Welcome!" screen. I select English (United Kingdom) language, connect to my Wi-Fi network, (smart network switch = off), EULA, No diagnotic data to Samsung, set up Google account (email and stuff), turn off diagnostic and more stuff to Google, Restore apps and data (SM-G900F) - 71 apps, I unselect a few preinstalled ones and select "restore" Samsung-konto - skip,

2016-07-05: update - Kies3 is still the newest version, I connected my S5 and checked. Update available - "PDA: PFH / CSC:PFI / PHONE:PFD (NEE)". Unfortunately Kies3 wants to upgrade some usb driver, and on my work machine I can't do that. Crap.

2016-06-22: rebooted the phone to see if MWM would connect to my new Strata - it didn't, because it is not the correct way to do it. More info on the Strata page. 2016-06-22: app - upgraded MWM (MetaWatch Manager from 2.1.7 to 2.1.9.

2016-02-09: battery - this morning the phone was dead - empty battery (it was fully charged at work yesterday). Not sure about the cause, it could be Runkeeper hanging on / keeping GPS active.

2016-02-08: update - I upgraded Kies3 to latest version and checked - Android 5.0 Lollipop is still the newest version available. I'll wait for 6.0.

2016-02-04: battery - battery drain again today (I charged the phone 100% at work, late this evening it was already at 23%). Not sure what the cause was, but I rebooted the phone anyway.

2015-10-15: battery - the phone had run out of juice during the night. Most likely the battery drain from media services continued. I charged the phone again.

2015-10-14: battery - media services drains the battery again. I stop a few processes, charge the phone and hope that helps.

2015-10-14: today at work (on the train back to the office from a meeting) the phone suddenly rebooted when I pressed the home button. I took the phone from my pocket, was going to check mail and as soon as I pressed the home button it rebooted. Battery level was at 78%, so I do not know why it rebooted.

2015-07-09: battery - battery drain problems (caused by media services) again. I powered off / on, we shall see if this is enough.

2015-07-08: root - I followed the "with TowelRoot" procedure, I had to install the Samsung usb drivers twice before Odin3 (v3.09) would detect the S5, but then it worked. Nice.

2015-07-08: backup - I installed Kies3 on my laptop (u35jc, win7) and used that to backup my Galaxy S5.

2015-07-08: Heimdall (Github: Heimdall) is a cross-platform open source tool to flash firmware (ROMs) onto Samsung mobile devices. You probably need latest git version + fixes to get iot working for a Galaxy S5.

2015-06-10: battery - the battery drain problem caused by media services is back again. This time I deleted 280-ish thumbnails from the .thumbnails folder in thge DCIM folder on the SDcard. (I used SD Card analyst in ES File Explorer to find and delete the files). Then I rebooted the phone.

2015-05-29: I "fixed" the battery drain by removing about 50 thumbnails from the SD card, then rebooting the S5. Now the process System (medietjener) - media services - is back to normal again.

2015-05-27: battery - huge battery drain again. This morning the phone was off due to drained battery (it was recharged yesterday), and I charged it again today. Now (at about 14:10) the battery is at 53% again. The culprit (or victim?) seems to be the process System (medietjener) - media services which has consumed 79,9% of the battery so far. Since I haven't added or changed any files on the SDcard, the problem is to figure out which of the recently upgraded apps is misbehaving.

That worked nicely.

2014-06-24: I ran towelroot again, as root checker basic wasn't happy. After the reboot, root checker basic confirms that I have root.

2014-06-21: battery - after 2 days 12 hours 23 mins the battery is at 11%.

2014-06-21: a software update (18,32 MB - improved performance) is available. It was already downloaded, so I just installed it. After the installation, the phone still runs Android 4.4.2, but kernel version has changed to 3.4.0-1539356, dpi@SWDD5822 #1, Tue May 27 09:59:11 KST 2014, build number KOT49H.G900FXXU1ANE4, SE for Android has the same number, but the date is Tue May 27 09:58:56 2014.
