[Nexus 6  General] SymbioticGenius:
Keep in mind, we XDA users are not typical users so of course we could figure this out. Secondly anyone even remotely interested in security has a password on their phone. Lastly, a question, does encryption prevent people from plugging your phone into a PC and seeing your data?
[Nexus 6  General] garyd9:
A counter-question: Who (or what) is google trying to "protect" us from with forcing encryption on?

No, encryption doesn't seem to block normal MTP access. Basically, an "encrypted" device (with no password), once booted, appears the same as a non-encrypted device (just a bit slower on data access.) The portion of /data presented as the "internal sd card" is accessible via MTP regardless of if encryption is on or off. (other portions of /data aren't accessible via MTP.)

With adb functional, unix permissions will block quite a bit, and once you add root to the mix, the entire phone can be accessed. (selinux probably introduces more restrictions, but I'm not familiar with them.)

Again, that leads back to the question of just who google is trying to protect us from. If the phone is encrypted (with no password) by default, and can easily be decrypted if no password was provided, then what good is the encryption? Why suffer the overhead of encryption when it doesn't serve any effective purpose?
[Nexus 6  General] xciton:
TWRP tries the default password. If you had changed it, TWRP wouldn't have worked at all.

That was not a fair assessment of the encryption used on Android.
[Nexus 6  General] SymbioticGenius:
I actually don't think it's a big deal especially since you didn't have a password. Encryption without a password is like a door without a lock.

Also I'm assuming that once a password is active that MTP will be disabled without said password?
[Nexus 6  General] garyd9:
Again.... The point is that android is forcing encryption on even without a password. I KNOW I have no password, but if having no password makes encryption useless, why FORCE it to be on?

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] SymbioticGenius:
I think it's better than the current, if you encrypt you must use a password 24/7 mode. I prefer it this way because it's currently how I use my phone. I have a pin when I feel it's necessary (work sometimes, phone charging on a table, bar hopping, etc.) or basically whenever someone might be able to access my phone without my noticing. Otherwise I have my pin off. This works almost exactly how I've been wanting it for years. As long as when my pin is active people can't plug my phone in and view my stuff.

I've had to pull the battery out several times to get the screen to respond.

I was looking at a fix to get my car working with my WM6 Artemis, and thinking of trying the Widcomm stack. However, reading through this thread am I right in understanding that this version of the Widcomm stack won't yet support hands-free kits anyway?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naruto.ninjakid:
Just got some new Bluetooth speakers and noticed a really weird issue. Music plays fine but throughout you can hear crackling and popping in the songs. Really not sure what’s going on. Heard it could be wifi on 2.4ghz network so turned it off, tried on 5ghz same result. Turning Wi-Fi off doesn’t help either when I stream with an iPad Air no issues whatsoever so I’m wondering does anyone have this issue as well. Would like to believe it is not my note misbehaving. Anyone else experience something similar?

Im using PlayerPro by the way.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorbay:
Bluetooth sound stream interruption

I think this is a common issue with bluetooth sound streaming and its implementation in Android. I experience similar popping sounds every time phone sends and individual sound to the speaker. Android doesn't seem to maintain a permanent audio stream, probably due to some optimization. The implementation is horrible though. If there is no stream available and a sound is played, it first establishes the stream. This takes some milliseconds. The sound can be completely missed if it is short enough. The stream doesn't persist either (power saving?) if no sound is queued after so you hear some amount of hissing until the stream is terminated. This is what generates that popping sound (noise to complete silence).

I think in your case, there is a bit of wait between two songs and this is what you are experiencing. I have the same problem with the Nexus 5X. After this many generation of phones, I'd expect such fundamental problems to be resolved but no luck. It may be a hardware issue but I can't tell. I haven't experienced the same issue with any of the iOS devices I have used so far including multiple generations of iPhones, iPads.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kaitlyn2004:
What do you guys think about something like this for the Note 4?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pink-Flexib...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item259a661c2a

I already have a screen protector on it and I figure with the back, it's replaceable in a worst case scenario!

Would this type of bumper be any good? More than anything I think it would just provide lips so that I could place it down on a table without worrying about scratching...

And there are a view different kinds, like this clear one (which is also "hard TPU")

http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLEAR-WHITE...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item5b089f8ccd
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] samep:
I have a different bumper case; it's TPU but the openings look very similar to the one's linked. IMO, these cases shouldn't be considered ideal for drop protection. I've looked and the camera bezel protection is nil; maybe some protection, if dropped on a flat surface. Not confident in that but sitting on a flat surface may be OK.

I just use it around the house or quick outings. I just don't plan on dropping this phone with this case but that's a risk. The case seems sure to grip in my hand holding and transferring to and from my belt mounted pouch; feels lighter, slimmer and easier on/off as well as holding in landscape view. My 2¢.

Nillkin Armor-Border Series Phone Case Cover For Samsung GALAXY Note 4
[Asus ZenWatch] mhajii210:
Hi guys. I am loving my ZenWatch. The only issue I'm having is a blank contact photo for incoming calls. Does Android Wear only display Google+ contact photos? Most of my contacts have a Facebook contact photo. Of course the picture is displayed properly on my HTC One M8 phone, but on my watch it's always blank. Is there any way to correct this?

mhajii210
[Asus ZenWatch] Cessquill:
HTC have tended to use their own contact system on top of stock Android (linking contacts together, pulling photos from various sources). However, this data extra isn't saved to your Google contacts (except for some META data in contact notes).

I'm assuming that Wear gets its info from your Gmail contact details, so you need to have photos stored in there. I'm guessing slightly here, but when I moved from an HTC One to a Nexus 5 it was the largest sacrifice of leaving HTC. I had to manually add photos to all of my Google contacts (although there are some desktop utilities that can do it for you).

In short, if a contact is a Google+ Member, it will use that photo, otherwise it will use the photo stored in your Gmail account's contact entry (I think).

I know it's a pain, but the desktop utility I used asked for my Facebook login, Gmail login and then listed all of my contacts on both. I could link them together, press go and it pulled all of the Facebook photos and stored them with the Google account.

You only really have to do it once, and once it's done it's done. The plus side is that you can choose what photos you use for people, and you're not confused if you've got a friend that changes their profile pic several times a day.

You could do it manually on the desktop by logging into Gmail, selecting the contacts section, opening a Contact and adding a photo. I needed to do this for a couple, since their FB profile pics were too weird.

I'm guessing bits here, but I think I'm fairly spot on. Others may have quicker/easier ways of doing this, but I can dig out the app if you like. If this doesn't make sense, let me know since I'm typing in a hurry. I did like the Account merging facilities in HTC.
[Asus ZenWatch] mhajii210:
HaxSync

I found a very easy way to fix this. I installed HaxSync from the Play Store and this amazing app solved the blank contact photo for incoming calls on my smartwatch. I'm sure it's way easier than manually assigning pictures to the contacts. I'm a very happy camper.

mhajii210
[Asus ZenWatch] BlastTyrantKM:
I've noticed that mine will display the generic contact photo for a second or 2 after I receive a call. The saved contact photo shows up after about the 2nd ring or so. If yours is operating the same as mine, perhaps you're just answering the phone before the photo is sent to the watch.

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nshon:
H2testw verified card (passed) caused my MT7-L09 to reboot spontaneously over and over again until I remove the MicroSD card. This started yesterday probably after I installed a few more apps. These have since been removed. Card has about 62.4GB out of 119GB, used 56.5GB. Formatted to exFAT on Windows 7. Working fine for about 2 weeks until yesterday.

I bit the bullet and hard reset the phone this morning. Clicked the MicroSD card back into the slot and loh and behold, it started to restart again!

Anyone have the same problem? Using a Sandisk SDXC-UHS-I card here. Its not hardware fault with the MicroSD card slot because replacing the 128GB card with a 64GB card presents no such problem.

I am proud owner of MT7-T10 who is having exactly the same problem after inserting newly purchased 64GB Sony UHS-I Class 10 microSDHC Card. In fact, I actually bought 2 of these type of sd - I have not tried replacing it with my wife's sd card - must do this test to flag out DOA (defective on arrival) sd card.

It was working just fine until the sd card is half full. I tried factory reset and reformatted the sd card and the issue reoccurs after transferring all my data back to sd card (i have not tried without removing sd card thou). Since the unit was still under warranty, I took initiative and brought the MT7 to Huawei service centre and even demonstrate the issue. They happily replaced with a new unit but even that had the same problem out of the box. I also asked if they have any list of compatible sd card supported on MT7. The front desk simply mentioned that it usually kingston, but there isn't any black & white papers or sites to support that statement.

I also came across forums emphasizing to use only popular branded sd card and sandisk was one of them. Since you are having the same problem even with sandisk, I won't be surprised if kingston too have this problem. Or may be it is MT7 sd slot defect by design. :fingers-crossed:

As overall, I'm happy with MT7. Extending the storage using sd card would have been a added advantage but this is not the case at the moment. :D:good:

Hey guys,

Yesterday I tried to update my ViperOne from 2.5 to 3.2 and being the dumbass that I am, I didn't read the note saying my wifi wouldn't work unless I have 4.4.4

It installed fine but I wanted to go back so I followed Viper's guide on reverting to another version. After hours of dicking around, my phone got stuck on the white htc screen. I did power + vol up and got to the recovery menu and remembered that I had a backup of my stock firmware. Lesson learned (always make backups)

Anyways, i booted into the back up image and now everything is working.

My question is, is my phone ok? After the white screen I'm kinda scared I might've ****ed something up. If it's working then I don't have to worry about anything, correct?

Thanks for your help!

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] XtremelyNooby:

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
You need s-off to update firmware. Once you have s-off, then the firmware I would recommend for use on AT&T's network is 3.28.1540, which is posted on the ROM thread here: http://xdaforums.com/att-htc-one-m8/development

Otherwise, your other option is to return to full stock ROM and stock recovery and install the official 4.4.4 OTA once it rolls out from AT&T (rumored mid-December) which will automatically update the firmware. After the OTA, you will then need to re-install custom recovery, to flash a custom ROM.
