S7 AT&T Buy One Get One (BOGO) Deal

My girlfriends dad works at an AT&T call center and told me they started doing a BOGO deal Saturday 2/27.

I already did a pre-order at Best Buy…went back Sunday 2/28 and cancelled my order and re-placed with a BOGO. Both phones have to be on AT&T Next. The BOGO covers around $23/month for the 2nd phone and you can get either model for the 2nd phone. Best Buy also told me I'd get the free Gear VR and Micro SD card for both phones…don't think there's a better deal out there.

Download Mode Loop

Hi there, I searched the forum. I found this thread whit my same problem:

http://ift.tt/1Qo7l7y

The guy ended up sending it to a technician.

The case: LG L20 D105F (Brazil Dual Sim)
Did Factory reset, phone initialized like new every time it was turned on, and calls weren´t working. Service was active sometimes.
Tried to flash original stock rom with LgFlashtool, but it gave me a network error and I interrupted the flashing process, without knowing that the righ thing to do is let the software finish ignoring the message.
Now it's in loop of ten seconds of download mode (when usb connected) turns off ad in one minute tarts again in download mode and so.

Ideas?

Dead SM-T705

My Tab S 8.4 T705 seems completely dead. I left it switched on and charging overnight, and the next morning it was off and completely unresponsive. I've tried:
  • Plugging the wall charger in. No battery icon appears.
  • Using different chargers and cables.
  • Leaving it plugged in for about 10 hrs
  • Plugging into a PC. Nothing detected.
  • Holding power button for more than a minute.
  • Trying every button combo I can think of: Pwr-VolUp-Home, Pwr-VolDown-Home, Pwr-VolUp-VolDown, Pwr-VolUp, Pwr-VolDown. Tried holding them down for more than a minute.
  • Connecting a USB device via OTG cable. USB device doesn't receive any power.

Any other suggestions before I take it off to a repair shop?

The worrying thing is, this happened the night after I flashed the unofficial Marshmallow ROM. I successfully flashed it, had it working great, and had powered it off and on multiple times. It could just be a coincidence that it died hours afterwards, and I've been running the exact same ROM (same build even) on another T705 without problems for a month or more. But I am a bit suspicious that the ROM triggered some sort of hardware fault.

Question about battery choices

I have an AT&T Note 4 and need to figure out a battery option. My current battery is showing signs of dying.

1) Replace with OEM Samsung: Keep the current one as a back up.
2) Buy the Anker deal with 2 batteries and charger: Basically just rotate all three batteries through usage. I'd have to get a new case that was easier to take off to swap batteries consistently.
3) Buy a bigger/extended life battery and deal with the fact that my percentage indicator will never be accurate. (Unless I can temp root to calibrate??)

Thoughts? I'll probably keep this phone AT LEAST until the end of this year.

Mele F10 Deluxe Airmouse custom .kl for AFTV

I'm attaching a custom keyboard layout that configures the Mele F10 Deluxe's buttons (in "MY BOX" mode) to match the AFTV remote. I've also commented out the device keys on the bottom of the Mele F10 (TV, STB, etc.) so they don't send rogue commands to the AFTV. Finally, the GO button on the QWERTY side is mapped to "PLAY/PAUSE" so it makes sense with AFTV's text input.

NOTE: The forum won't allow .kl attachments, so please rename the .txt extension back to .kl before use.

For some sideloaded apps, it might be easier to leave the center button mapped to RETURN instead of DPAD_CENTER. In case it's useful, I'm attaching this layout file as "Vendor_1915_Product_0196.kl.ALTERNATE" (please change the extension to .kl before copying it to your keylayout folder).

To place the custom .kl file:
Code:

adb push Vendor_1915_Product_0196.kl /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /sdcard/Vendor_1915_Product_0196.kl /system/usr/keylayout/
chmod 644 /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_1915_Product_0196.kl
chown system.system /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_1915_Product_0196.kl
mount -o remount,ro /system

new keymap takes effect on reboot

Changes (based on Generic.k)l:
Code:

Center Button - Scancode 28 remapped to DPAD_CENTER
Back Button - Scancode 165 remapped to MEDIA_REWIND
Foreward Button - Scancode 163 remapped to MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD
Home Button - Scancode 102 remapped to HOME
GO Button - Scancode 217  remapped to MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE

[Q] Root without USB?

My Droid 3's USB doesn't work (well it works with a factory cable to charge it from dead to almost dead, but otherwise it doesn't)
I'd love to solve that issue, but I'm not that hopeful. Anyways, I'd like to root, but AFAIK motofail is the only effective method and that doesn't work when a USB cable isn't recognized by the PC and phone.

Anyone know of either an apk based method or a way to root using adb over wireless (eg using an app like AirDroid)?

With access to recovery and I can not flash !!!

Hi all!!

My case is rare, or at least I think so.
Rom I changed several times without problems, I am enchanted with my LG OG and more than two years that I have it already.
The fact is that on Saturday resumed in recovery and being tactile, by mistake, I gave mount system. since then restarts in recovery but I can not install any rom.
I tried re-stock, impossible. I tried flashing with adb, it seems to make the whole installation process but when you restart it does in the recovery.
You can not enter the bootloader and that it was unlocked (obviously) but no longer.

I think the problem is that not let me write files, no permissions R / W and I can not give them. And that is not unlocked bootloader

Any suggestions? I do not find anything anywhere !!

Reminder: Request Source Code

Hey guys, just giving a reminder to request the kernel source code for the s7 and s7 edge. You can do that by going to this link http://ift.tt/1ikShmj and filling in the form. For reference the flat model is SM-G930 and the edge is SM-G935. Just set the inquiry type to source code and the category to soc/application processor. For the message just put something like "request for S7 edge kernel source code". Typically Samsung releases the source code faster when they are being nagged. The sooner we get the source the sooner we can start getting to work. Hopefully my Edge gets here in the next few days :P

Google Play services causing horrible battery drain and heating of phone

Does anybody know how I can uninstall Google Play services updates? I read that if you uninstall the updates and let them reinstall than the problems usually go away, the only issue is that it is grayed out and not an option that I can use. When I'm on LTE, my phone gets very hot and battery use plummets. It says the culprit is Google Play services and I've read that if you uninstall and reinstall the updates that it helps. Any thoughts?

system/etc/permissions/ platform.xml

I have a known problem. My device won't boot, apps all crash because of a file permissions error.

I replaced system/etc/permissions/ platform.xml

I tried to re-enable the original the simple way, using a root explorer, but permissions to write are.. well corrupted. This is causing all system services to fail at boot and the tablet to crash. Basically it looks like I'm stuck with trying to repair it from recovery, or download mode (Odin) and I do not have a custom recovery installed, stock only.


UPDATE:
I now have Phil-Z recovery and Aroma File Manager. I replaced the platform.xml with the original file. Still, System is crashing on boot with several crashed app dialogs.

Seems I fixed what should have been the problem, but the problem persists.. help?

What have I done wrong - extrem performance slowdown

Hi guys, I have a situation with my moto g, I have the 8gb version since one week, I've installed a 128gb sdcard on the phone formated as internal storage... During a few days I've no problem with performance at all.... Then yesterday I decided to encrypt my phone and today I loaded 60gb an data, music, photos and videos.
Since then my phone is struggling from time to time to do simple tasks like opening an app or dragging the status bar down... Is nothing like that happens always or with the same apps.... Is random, sometimes I just wanna to unlock the phone and it takes like minutes for the keyboard to come up.


Anyone with an idea of what this might be? Was it the encryption? Should I give the phone time to index all the data?

I know it's not a problem from the SD card, because it's the fastest sandisk that I could get.

[GUID] Enable Remote SIM Access Protocol (rSAP) on the OnePlus One, using QPST

This guid shows two things:
1. How to enable QPST and USB diag mode.
2. How to enable rSAP.


Quote:

Please notice, I'm not responsible for any damage in hard- and software of your devices, if you are following this guid. You do all on your own risk.
  1. For this guid your device have to be rooted.
  2. In the newer versions of OnePlus' CyanogenMod diag mode is disabled in kernal. Therefore you have to flash an earlier ROM. In this step download Calkulin's Stock Rooted XNPH44S ROM and store zip to your device.
  3. Go to recovery and make a full backup. This is really necessary to preserve the state of your phone.
  4. Wipe Dalvik Cache, System, Data and Cache. ATTENSION: This will delete all your settings, apps and app data!
  5. Install XNPH44S ROM
  6. After rebooting system go to Settings -> About Device -> tab ten times on Build-Number to unlock developer settings. Than go to Developer settings and make sure USB debugging is enabled.
  7. Download the package, containing driver and QPST
  8. Connect your device to USB, go to Settings -> Storage -> USB computer connection and deselect both MTP and PTP.
  9. For Win8 and Win10: restart with deactivated driver signature check.
  10. Open ADB (Android SDK) and type following commands:
    Code:

    adb shell
    Code:

    su
    Code:

    setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
  11. Go to Windows Device Manager and open Other Devices node. There are two entries of our device "A0001". Klick right on the first one and choose Update driver software -> Browse my computer... -> Let me pick from a list... -> Show all devices -> Have disk -> Browse...
  12. Browse to folder Driver in downloaded package, than open Win x64 or Win x86 corresponding to your system, select *.inf file and apply.
  13. After seccessful installation there is a Modems node in Device Manager, containing node HTC USB Modem. Right click and go to Properties. In top of the Modem tab page is the information about used COM-port. Remember that COM<number>.
  14. Go to QPST folder in downloaded package and execute setup.exe to install QPST.
  15. Open QPST Configuration from windows Start menu, go to Ports tab page and click on Add New Port.... Type (the remembered) COM<number> to the "Port:" text box and OPO to the "Port Label:" text box. Than click on OK.
    Active Phones tab page should now look like this:

    Now you can use QPST.
  16. Open EFS Explorer from windows Start menu. It may take a moment to read data from your device.
  17. On left side you can see a folder tree like in file explorer. Navigate to /nv/item_files/modem/qmi/uim
  18. Click right on right side and than Copy Item File from PC. Browse to EFS Entry folder of downloaded package and choose file sap_security_restrictions.
  19. Close all windows and reboot your device. If you want, you can repeat the steps 10, 16 and 17 to verify success.
  20. Boot to recovery and restore your backup.
  21. Now go to Google Play and download app Bluetooth SIM Access Install and app Bluetooth SIM Access (Trial)
  22. Open Install app and click on Install system files. The phone have to reboot after installation. If you want to verify successful installation, open app again, the desintall button have to be enabled now.
  23. Enable your Bluetooth
  24. Open Bluetooth SIM Access (Trial) app go to Settings -> Check SIM Access. If there no errors and several entries with green check marks, than rSAP is working now.

Files:
Package
ROM


Acknowledgement:
Thank you devilsshadow, for your tutorial, which showed me how to setup QPST.
Thank you Calkulin, for your ROM, which makes it possible to use QPST.
Special thanks goes to Martin , for developing his great apps and making our phones better.

Looking for Android hospitality / alarm clock solution

Hello,

I am curious if anyone knows if there is any type of hospitality ROM, software, etc for a tablet? My request is pretty straight forward - I'm looking to purchase a cheap tablet that I can use as a bedside clock that is permanently plugged in and never moved. Obviously it would be used as a clock (there are a bunch of digital alarm clock apps), an alarm (you could use the alarm clock portion of iHeart Radio to wake up via morning radio), etc.

I'm just wondering if anyone already has a ROM, etc, or if it is just easier to buy a cheap tablet, install iHeart, a clock widget, and then leave it permanently plugged in on the bedside?

Thanks in advance!

Official ROM (5.0.2) update, release notes / fixes?

Today my D405n updated from D405n20a to D405n20c (notice the change from ~a to ~c). The Android version remained 5.0.2, so I guess it's a rather minor update. Software version is now V20c-EUR-XX, not sure what is was before.

The first attempt (via FOTA update) failed, because it claimed (incorrectly) that my device was rooted. The LGMobileSupportTool had no such problems, all it needed was for me to free up a sizeable chunk of RAM (almost 1 GB...). Other than that, it updated flawlessly, without any issues or warnings. So far I have not noticed any differences in appearance or functionality.

What surprised me, however, was the fact that this update is mentioned absolutely nowhere: not on the LG support page, not even on this forum. I don't know when this update was released. Anybody any idea what this update actually accomplishes?

[GUIDE] Rooted, What Now? - The Essentials

Hey guys, Kyuubi10 back for another guide :)

Today I want to tackle the open ocean of options one has once they are finally rooted.
If you still don't know what rooting is, this guide probably isn't for you...But if you feel intrigued feel free to check this link out:
http://ift.tt/1LrrTvM

Many of you are unsure whether to root or not, since you don't yet understand the endless possibilities available to rooted devices. Most guides which I have found online only cover the options on the surface, I will try to go into deeper detail.
Meanwhile some of you have already rooted your phones on the promise of great things but find yourself stuck for ideas, and you start feeling that rooting is a bit useless. This is due to lack of information available for non-rooted folk, prior to actually rooting.

Note:
Just unlocking your bootloader, or flashing a custom recovery isn't rooting. But usually a custom recovery is required before rooting.
Hopefully you already know these, but if not here is a link to some terminology you may need to fully understand this guide:
http://ift.tt/1LrrUzV



So... You have successfully unlocked your bootloader, flashed a custom recovery and have rooted your device. What now? Where to start?

Finding Sources:
The first stop once you have rooted is to find sources of information about what is available to you and your device.

This is where the first complication arises, since each device is different, each device has a different rooting method, different mods, themes, ROMs and Kernels available to it. So there is NOT a universal way to root, nor software universally available to any rooted device. You have to find guides, and indexes of things made specifically for your own device.

If you have made it to this guide, you are on the right path. This website currently is the biggest hub for all things root, for any device. If you use the search option on the top right corner, you will have a really high chance of finding a thread dedicated to your own device. With all the information and software you may need, or want, specifically catered to your device.
This, along with all the available ROOT enabled apps within Google Play Store, will be the main source of ROOT software for you.


Why are you rooting?

Now you have a lot of options available to you. Where do you begin? This depends on what is your own personal reason for rooting.
The main four are: To improve battery, performance and to add themes and features which would be otherwise unavailable. (e.g. Double tap to wake.)

Improving battery AND improving performance may seem to be a contradiction, as improving performance may make battery suffer, while improving battery life may make performance suffer.
While focusing completely on one will definitely make the other suffer, if you focus on efficiency instead it's very much possible to improve both battery life AND performance TOGETHER!
There a multiple ways to improve efficiency of a device, and I will enter into more detail soon.

The other options are adding themes and features.
There may be themes which are only available to rooted devices, themes which would change values which you usually would not have access to while being unrooted. Such themes can be added as mods, or skins. Flashed from custom recovery or added by an app which writes directly to /system folder. Things which require root.

Mods on the other hand modify the visual design of existing things on the phone like widgets, such as clock widget. Theme mods are not usually reliant on ROOT, but they often need to be flashed through custom recovery, something which you will already have if you are rooted.

Features are a bit more complex than themes, but follows the same idea. They can be added through root apps, or flashed through custom recovery. Most features will require ROOT permissions, since most useful features perform actions which are not usually allowed without root. These include but are not limited to changing an apps way of functioning, or making a system change to give a ROM a feature it did not previously have.

All of these will be available to you through both XDA and/or Play Store. The limit is your imagination, all you need to do is think of something you want and use the available search boxes to find that which you want for you own device.

The most common way of adding all of it together are mod packs, frameworks, custom ROMs, custom Kernels etc...
But since there are such a wide variety of choices available, the ones you choose will be highly dependent on the original reason you have for rooting your device.

If you want to focus on performance and battery, you will choose a ROM with a lot of optimizations, and a custom Kernel instead of one with a lot of themes and features. While you will choose a ROM with few optimizations but loads of themes and features if you are looking more to the visual design experience, while ignoring the kernel, which doesn't affect visuals.

Once you know what your aim for rooting is feel free to begin flashing, installing and experimenting with a variety of software.
You may hear a lot about the risks of rooting, bricking your device, soft-brick or hard-brick, glitches from beta software etc....
But my advice is, don't worry about the risk....make a NANDROID BACKUP, and flash away.
If anything goes wrong, just go back in recovery and restore your last stable nandroid. This way you can flash without worrying about all the risks. And if something does go wrong, and you struggle to get into recovery, just leave an SOS post right here on XDA, on the thread for your device and the community will be more than happy to help you get back on your feet. This will always be a learning experience...don't let fright stop you from enjoying the rooted life!

The essentials:
Here are my recommendations for the most common and essential things which you should have/flash/install once you are rooted.

1) Begin by making a nandroid backup.

2) Find a custom ROM with the features you like. I personally recommend to focus on theming options when choosing a ROM, since you can use other methods to improve battery and performance.

3) Find a custom Kernel with great features to improve battery and performance. You should learn to adjust and fine-tune kernel settings to your liking, to find the ideal balance between battery and performance for your liking and your device.
3.a) This is my Comprehensive Guide to Kernels. It will have most of what you need in order to learn how to adjust kernel settings.
4) Install BusyBox - What is BusyBox?

5) Flash Xposed Framework and Install the apk - This is only a framework, which facilitates and makes available multiple mods to both add features, themes and mods to improve performance and battery.

6) Flash Viper4Audio - The best audio mod available for Rooted devices. Recently for lollipop and marshmallow it seems that you need a Kernel with SELinux set to permissive.

7) Find and download an Adblock apk - Note: While it is awful to surf the net while being annoyed by intrusive ads, it is also not nice to stop content developers from from receiving the money they deserve through these ads, for content which the provide freely. Therefore please check the option to allow acceptable ads. So that non-intrusive ads are allowed to show up, so developers can continue providing their content freely.

From the Play Store:

8) Greenify - This will help both battery and performance by hibernating apps which keep awake even after manually force closing them. Thus allowing you to control how many apps are truly running at the same time and utilizing RAM. This app also has an Xposed module which adds boosted functionality.

9) Any ROOT file explorer - This will allow you to access ROOT directories of your device. This will be useful for multiple reasons, trust me :)

10) Tasker - If you are a fan of automation, this is your holy grail. With this you will be able to automate anything on your device.

11) Seeder - I am unable to explain what this app does. It's own description within the Play Store is perfect and very clear! Go check it out. It will improve performance when actively using the device.

12) SD Maid - This is a swiss army knife for Rooted devices. Those of you familiar with CCleaner, will know some of the things this app does. It cleans system and app caches, it cleans leftover files after uninstalling apps. It is also able to toggle autostart, delete system apps, freeze/disable apps and much much more!


Hope this has helped you get started on your Rooted adventure, and given you more aim of where you can go from here.
If you still haven't rooted your device, I hope this guide could help you seal your decision, and ease your fears.
:silly:

If this was a helpful guide, I would be grateful if you could press the thanks button.:good::good: And feel free to comment with any questions or mentioning anything I may have forgotten, or your own opinions for the essentials things to do once you are rooted.

No wipe data/factory reset option in AT&T bootloader.

My sister forgot his unlock pattern on her Asus Zenfone (Z00A) from AT&T so I went straight into the recovery mode and for my surprise none of the options to wipe cache or data was available, the only ones available are:
  • reboot system now.
  • apply update from ADB
  • apply update from micro SD

And YES i know how to go into recovery options correctly, i've done this too many times but this is my first time in this case, I suppose it's due to the AT&T bootloader.

Taking it to AT&T is not an option since I live in Mexico, if anyone knows how to hard reset the phone or at least the pattern please help me!

USB debugger options are not activated and I was thinking of flashing a ROM downloaded from the asus website but I don't know if it will brick the phone since the SKU is not the same (My phone is from US and the firmwares are WorldWide)

Can I get a "No BS" opinion on the Pixel C

Hi. Im in the Army and found out Im going to Afghanistan soon. I am looking for an android tablet/hybrid (not looking for a Surface) to hold me over until I we get things set up and I can have my wife ship my gaming laptop over (which is why i dont want a Surface, as I already have a windows device). what I need it to do: read comics, read ebooks, watch videos (by that I mean mostly 1080p 10bit x265 HEVC videos), play games, and skype. ok, the comics, ebooks, and skype dont need much hardware for that, but the videos and games need a good processor. So far I've read the wifi sucks...and other say that the wifi doesnt suck, that it has issues playing games and others say there isnt an issue playing games, etc. Can someone give me their opinion on if this would meet all my needs.

If you had to choose between two phones (5x and Samsung G. S6) , which would it be?

I'm honestly not sure which phone to choose.
May you roll up some personal views on the matter?
Because right now I am using both phones every second day, and I really can't make up my mind regarding this matter.. So listening to someone else would help.

Im facing that the software on the nexus 5x and the ability to customize it so much more is a huge adventage, however the S6 got some great specs.
So yeh.

Bluetooth receiver for AUX IN on car that works with Android 5.1?

So my Knivio bluetooth receiver has been rendered useless by the most recent update because Google tied the bluetooth device volume to system volume and android doesn't know how to handle the fact that this device has no volume on it, its just a receiver.

What is the multi tasking like on the Honor 7

Ok, so over the years I've had lots of Android phones but the one thing that has got on my nerves has been the poor multi-tasking! What I've always been looking for has a machine where the apps stay in memory for a long time. The worst was my S3, basically if you switched an app and returned it would reload. Even the LG G4 with lots of memory will reload an app after the 8th one has been in memory. At the moment the best is the OnePlus 2, but the more apps you load the more sluggish becomes.

[Q] How do I use nested Tasker variables to create a charging timer?

I am trying to create a widget in Zooper that displays the amount of time the phone has been charging.

My idea is to have Tasker pass the charging start time to Zooper and Zooper will display the elapsed time since then. The problem is I cant get the date/time part of the Zooper command to be a Tasker variable:
#D201406122200Rd' days 'Rhh' h 'Rmm'm'# [This works with static time]
#D#TTasker_Time#Rd' days 'Rhh' h 'Rmm'm'# [This obviously does not work with the Tasker variable]
Is it possible to have variables within variables like this in Zooper?

I am open to other ideas on how to display the charging time as well. I see there is a time of last connect/disconnect BDT variable in Zooper, but it does not seem to work with my phone for some reason.

Thanks.

How to restore UI in stock Lollipop 5.1 with GApps removed?

Hi, I'm new to Android and learning how it works by customizing stock-based 5.1 ROM for Moto G 4G 1st gen (XT1039 aka Peregrine). My current aim is to strip it down to bare usable and stable minimum. So far I removed a lot of bloat and got to the point where there are only 4 Google apps left:

- GmsCore,
- GoogleServicesFramework
- SetupWizard
- SetupWizardExt

When I remove them, and add a build.prop line "ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED" that disables initial setup everything still seems to work fine - the only problem is UI dysfunction. The Home button is not working (there's no action assigned to it) and quick settings disappear from notifications area. During my research I found an information that these functions are disabled by default to prevent user "escaping" Setup Wizard with Home button or accessing settings before the initial setup is done. Even when disabled in build.prop Setup Wizard still gives some kind of "signal" to Gms Core during initial boot that UI can be unlocked which means the 4 listed Google apps must be included into ROM to make everything work. My question is if there's any way around it. Can you remove all GApps from the rom, install it, boot and somehow restore Home button, quick settings and other things that could be missing?

Thank you.

LG Development contact

I'd like to see if we can pressure LG a little by sending as many requests as we possibly can to get them to reconsider their stance on this locked bootloader crap. Here is a copy of what I sent. I encourage everyone to register at the LG Developer site and post their requests. I also emailed them at developer@lge.com with the following:

Unlocking one variant whilst refusing to even consider unlocking the others in a series is tantamount to shooting yourselves in the foot as a company. While many believe that securing the bootloader will prevent warranty issues with the devices in question, by not allowing the software (and hardware) to be utilised to its full potential, you run the risk of people attempting to modify their phones through unsupported and unsafe means, increasing the overall cost of replacements and repairs to both yourself as well as the companies you supply with these devices.

Furthermore, you have not released the source for all the G4 variants, which makes testing almost impossible.

We, the staff at Tofflemire Tech Solutions, as well as the development community as a whole, respectfully request that you consider unlocking the bootloaders of your devices, specifically the G4 and G5 variants. We also respectfully request that, should you continue to keep these bootloaders locked, that you provide us with a reason as to why they cannot/should not be unlocked.

Respectfully,

David Tofflemire, Lead Consultant

Low Call Volume

Hey guys,
Recently my in call volume has been insanely low. Like I can barely make out what I'm hearing low. But when I put the call on speaker it works fine, and regular audio works fine so I assume it's not a speaker issue. Anybody know how to solve this issue?

Best screen protector?

I traded my HTC M8 with Oneplus One. After several hours I've noticed that opo's touchscreen is horrible(I've checked and warranty sticker is still there so its OEM touchscreen). On my opo there is tempered glass since I brought it. I think touchscreen problem is caused by screen protector(I have two friends who actually own opo. One has same problem with tempered glass on and another one doesn't use screen protector and says that everything is fine.). Should I replace it? if yes can you suggest me the best one? price doesn't matter here.

[Soft-Brick] Stuck at boot screen

Hi guys,

I could really use some help.

I have been searching all over and perhaps I'm not understanding what is being said so if it sounds familiar and there is a solution then i'm thankful.

So about a week ago, the phone came back from repairs and had the motherboard replaced after the phone was washed by accident. Nonetheless, there hasn't been any hardware defects besides signal loss now and then.

When the phone came back, it had 4.2.2 and it automatically picked up the update to 4.4.2 which I did. The phone worked fine until 2 days ago, where it just stuck at the Samsung galaxy gt-i9190 screen and just freezes there.

I can boot into a custom recovery (Philz) (not stock recovery for some reason) and download mode. I then attempted to install CM 11.0 as I got frustrated. It worked, booted past animated logo and install the apps until i came to the language section where the touchscreen which didn't work (unresponsive). I then reverted back to the stock ROM found at sammobile (i9190xxxCOD2XFA - South Africa), loaded the custom recovery and still no booting past the first screen. The custom recovery touchscreen (Philz) is also non responsive (besides using the volume keys, home button and power for navigation).

I flashed a couple of times, nothing works.

Is there a root cause to these issues? The unresponsive screen, not booting properly?

Some info: KNOX is voided 0x1

Please help!! Thank you in advance :)

Using a PC headset possible?

Is it possible to use a headset that I use on my PC with the Nexus 5x? I can't seem to find anything definitive on this subject. Most forums talk about inline mics with controls, not a pc headset.

I've tried connecting a couple headsets to my phone (4pole 3.5mm) but the mic does not work during phone calls (only mic based app that I've tried). I can hear the other person just fine though.

Am I just SOL? Any work arounds?

I'd like to use a pc headset since the quality is far better than an inline mic, especially with a proper mic boom.

SIM card from G Pad X8.3 on Note II

Hi,

I retired the Verizon Note II a couple of years ago. I bought a Verizon LG G Pad™ X8.3 tablet this last christmas. It has a 4G LTE sim card and of course data works fine on the tablet on a current data sharing plan.

But I wanted to let my daughter have the Note II with data capability so she can text and call with Hangouts.

So I pulled the sim card out of LG pad, stuck it into Note II But it's not recognized, I guess, because I get the exclamation mark by the network bars icon and "4G LTE" never appears and nothing that needs internet access works.

Is it the ROM, or is it that you just can't stick a SIM card from a tablet into a Note II and expect data to work?

The Note II is on a CM rom that's 5.1.1. I can't look at it right now. I'll post later in case the rom makes a difference.

Thank you!

Questions before purchasing K1...

1. The only reason I'm considering a new device at all is for Vainglory. The Nexus 6p has some SERIOUS I/O issues, causing Vainglory to take 20+ minutes to install additional assets every time it updates, as well as extremely long loading times within the game. This I/O issue is also apparent in other circumstances, for example it can take several minutes to unzip file only a few MB in size, and gallery apps take 5+ seconds to refresh.

This is typical with some Android devices I've had in the past with severe bottlenecks. Does the Shield K1 exhibit any of these I/O issues, especially in terms of Vainglory?

2. I'd rather have the Nexus 9, but it costs more. Out of the box, without additional hacking, will I be able to completely uninstall or at least disable every last preinstalled bloat app (e.g. any app you wouldn't find preinstalled on a Nexus device)?

3. I've heard negative things about the battery life. Is it really so bad? Vainglory is far and away the most network intensive and graphically demanding app I'll use, and it consumes about 8% per 25 minute match on the Nexus 6p, iPad mini 2, and Tab S2 8.0. Can I expect 8% per 25 minute match on the Shield K1 as well? How about things like browsing Relay for Reddit and Chrome at, say, 50% brightness?

[App] FingerPrint Launcher

Use your Fingerprint to launch apps quickly. You can set each of your fingers to open different apps

Want to open an App real quick? Tired of using gestures? Want a faster way to open hidden App? The FingerPrint Launcher is the right one for you.
The FingerPrint Launcher allows you to open an app real quick with a touch of a button, anywhere and anytime. You just have to just select which finger launches which app*, then you hold down the menu button and let the app scan your finger and your done. The app is immediately launched.
You can replace your traditional app lock software which consumes a lot of battery with the help of this App. Most Launcher comes with a hide an app option. So just hide the app and set FingerPrint Launcher as the easiest way to open your hidden app** ;) .Instead of using gestures to open an app which any one can do, the fingerprint remains your alone.

The app uses long press menu button to start scanning the fingerprint.

Should work with All Samsung Mobile with fingerprint sensor support having android OS 4.4.2+






Here is an example how it works

*This version can only use two fingerprint
**Depending on the environment setup of your device, there may be other alternatives to open your hidden app.

Just got a z3c! Some noob questions, like ROOT...

I just bought a used z3c after my moto x 2013 bit the dust. Full specs in the attached images.

Some questions:

1. How do I root this thing? I've seen different guides, with different info. Looking for something definitive. And I'm on a Mac, no Windows. I would really like to install xposed/gravitybox. (FWIW, the "unlock bootloader" page at Sony says that my model cannot be bootloader unlocked.)
E.g., this site -- http://ift.tt/1yfJw99 -- says to just flash SuperSU, but is it that easy?

2. It has some app called "My EE" ... looks like a carrier specific thing. I'd like to get this to "stock" without carrier bloatware.

3. The rear lens glass is totally scratched up, photos all blurry/glowy. Is this easy to fix/replace? Tried rubbing some toothpaste but didn't seem to make a difference...

4. What's the word on Marshmallow? Is that coming soon? Can I install the "concept" M from Sony?

I have lots of experience rooting/flashing/hacking on other phones, but this is my first Sony since my trusty k800i ...

Thanks!

[UPCOMING ROM][SCREENSHOTS][ACER ICONIA B1-720][5.0.1]Lollipop ROM For Acer Iconia B1

Hey guys.

I'm currently working on a Lollipop ROM For 7" MTK Acer Tablets. (I'm currently using the B1-720 as the 'testing Tablet.') There is no ROM download link YET, as this ROM is still under heavy construction. The features that I'm planning to add is:

-Being based off Xperia Z4 Tablet LOLLIPOP
-Z3+ Boot Animation
-Lollipop UI (with its own unique touches.)
-Lots of Lollipop Animations. (Ripple Effect, App open Animations, Listview Animations etc.)
-Overlclocking the CPU for better gaming performance.
-...and much more.


I was going to make a Marshmallow 6.0 ROM, but the Project fell right on its face. Lollipop is much easier to work on.


And BTW I'm sorry for posting this into on the General Forum section. Since there isn't an Acer Iconia B1 Forum, I had to post it here. Any quote movements won't bug me at all! πŸ˜€


And finally, the planned release date for the initial release of this ROM is around July-August 2016. So what do YOU think about this ROM idea??? πŸ˜‰ Anyway, please stay tuned for the ROM + I have posted some screenshots of my progress! THANKS! :)
