[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walkwithdeath:
So, Heres the deal. Oneplus, rooted (has been for a while) Currently on Cyanogen 5.0.1 but the problem started before this. I tried to use a different rom thinking that it might work but didn't so I had the same problem on the stock rom. Anyway, the camera takes a picture and saves it. Gallery recognizes said picture and everything is fine. I download a picture from the web. It will not show up in the gallery at all. Or google photos. I move it to another folder, any folder. nothing. I use a file explorer app, any app, and i can see and view the picture, but gallery still does not recognize the picture. Any idea why? they are saved as JPG. Please ask any more questions. I have not tried a reset yet. This started after i was gone for a month and the battery died.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDole:
Specs: I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 phone from AT&T

*Model: SGH-I747

*Purple/Blue Version

*AT&T Version

What I have done:

*I rooted my phone today then tried to install Android Revolution HD ROM due to the terrible battery life of my phone ( would die after a few hours when the phone was locked and inactive!)

*Phone won't turn on.

*There is no logo boot

*Can't go into recovery mode

*LED only comes on when battery is out. Still won't turn on.

I saw this video for the SGH-I747M that could recover Hard Bricked is there one for my version?

You forgot to tell the data is not encrypted by the VPN between it's server and the website's server, you are only moving a problem from place A to place B. It may be better for you if this is what you are looking for but it doesn't add that much security.

How a VPN works : Your device data is encrypted FIRST, it leaves your device and goes to the VPN's server, it is DECRYPTED, and then it is relayed to the server you were trying to contact. Your data is less traceable but you're not anonymous, the VPN provider knows who you are and your DNS provider may still know what you are looking at if you the device leak DNS requests.

Your guide is missing details, anonymity and security is not easy and trying to simplify it too much you lost important parts users should not forget.

Regards
[Security Discussion] iunlock:
Misleading? I think you need to re-read the post. Here let me help you:

"A VPN takes your data connection and encrypts it so

it protects your data from not only your ISP seeing your traffic, but also from middle man attacks.

Say if you were at a cafe connected to their open (unsecured) public WiFi and you did some shopping online, which involved you entering in your credit card number, name, address, etc... Well, it doesn't take much for someone to intercept your sensitive data passing through the cafe's unsecured WiFi connection.

"

"

Now a VPN will protect your data from point A to the end destination

(website.)

That website will only be able to see your "exit server," and not your ISP or your location, but of course your data.

"

"Ex:

You're in New York connected to the internet using a VPN ----> The VPN server you're connected to is in Texas ---> The website you're visiting is located and hosted in Canada.

"

So you're going to argue the fact that a VPN wouldn't be affective in a cafe scenario like the example I've given in the post?

Any additional information is appreciated, but please don't come in here saying that it's misleading....

THE FACT IS...YOU'RE BETTER OFF WITH A VPN, than WITHOUT ONE. PERIOD.
[Security Discussion] Magissia:
It's about trust, the VPN server can do the middle man attack itself or one could do it somewhere between the VPN's server and the final destination.

Of course you're better with a VPN most of the time, but it's important to clearly state it's not captain america's shield neither. It's important to clearly tell at all cost that the data is encrypted only between you and the VPN's server.

Best regards.
[Security Discussion] JayR_L:
The only way to ensure you are safe from MITM is to use end to end encryption, like SSL/TLS (https). Even if the MITM is using sslstrip, you'll be able to tell by the security popup in your browser when it asks you to trust the connection (which you shouldn't...)

VPN is useful for protecting you from someone sniffing the airwaves on an open network or for accessing services behind a firewalled network. (Like SMB/Windows File Sharing).

Like Magissa said, it isn't captain America's shield, and don't be fooled by a false sense of security. You have to trust the VPN provider, and it would be pretty easy for one to sniff your traffic or read logs...

[Security Discussion] La_Globule:

[Security Discussion] snapper.fishes:
[VPN (Virtual Private Network) and why you should use it if you're serious ab...

There's no concrete answer to that question. Your best bet is to use a VPN provider that's based outside of your country, preferably one that is less likely to corporate with your local law enforcement.
[Security Discussion] JayR_L:
Agreed. Out of country, away from your government's reach... There are some offshore server farms in countries with lax laws... Those are usually tax havens also. Research :)

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] jaugusto:
The rom for s100 is the same for s110.

I have a qtek s110 and i flashed the rom 2.03TX. Very light rom, great performance, but you gotta have some software resources because it doesn't even have excel.

Anyway, if you don't like it, try one in the wiki page.

For htc magician=qtek s100=qtek s110.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Awais:
are you sure

i doubt cuz there is big hardware difference in these two models
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] jaugusto:
The only difference between s100 and s110 is the ram: the first has 64 and the second has 128 mb.

Everything else is the same, except the colour of the casing.

Be sure your not mistaking s110 with charmer, wich has a totally different architecture but with the same casing of s100 or s110.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] mpx2003:

The S100 rom works on S110!

Hi, as said before, S100 and S110 are similar, the only difference is the RAM size. I flashed yesterday an S110 with the S100 ROM and it is working well (no more air flight mode problems with bluetooth). But I have still a problem, don't know if it can be solved... I made a complete backup before upgrading the mobile, and now I can not use the backup, the restore fails saying that the device is not the same :-(

Anyone knows if there is some workaround for it?

Thanks!

So I was trying to sideload the Xfinity TV Go app on my Nexus Player to watch live TV, but ran into a problem. With a few workarounds, I was able to get the app running and sign into it, but I am not getting any audio. On a phone or tablet, audio will only output through the audio jack, and to my knowledge will not output over HDMI. This is an even bigger issue on the Player as it has no audio jack.

Does anyone know of an app or a modification to the system that would force the audio over HDMI?

Or would I need to buy some kind of USB DAC?

Any help is appreciated.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trgr:
I've been trying to read up on how to use newer phones without being forced into a stupid 4g plan on PP. So far I have only succeeded in giving myself several headaches. It's hard to keep up with things when most of the threads here and elsewhere were either abandoned or closed....

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

From the info out there it sounds like you need a donor phone in order to get 3g? I suppose data isn't necessary, but I'd like to take a shot at it if it's possible. I really do not want to put out more cash for a donor phone that I will likely end up losing more change on.

(The current phone I have with PP is a Motorola....I don't think it would be usable for that^.)

Yep either need a donor or someone who has one to get the codes for you. Plus you can only use jbbl with the ICS radio and I'm not sure if PP is still activating flashed phones
[G3 General] cap1tal1sm:
Interested in what any of you folks use for ad blocking. I have gotten adaway up and running, but it does not seem to be full-proof by any means. I am running the xposed youtube adblock and it seems to work well -- but one gripe I have is that Twitch hits me with ads constantly, and I was wondering if any of you use Twitch mobile and have figured out how to avoid the ads. It's 100% possible because adblock on the PC blocks all Twitch ads, and maybe I'm missing something. Adblock for the android does not seem to work whatsoever, and a cursory google search has confirmed my suspicions.

Anyway, discuss here what ad blockers you use and how effective they are. If anyone knows how to block Twitch ads there might be a donation in their future...:angel:
[G3 General] Marcovanbasten:
Interested by the thread but maybe you could move in general app discussion
[G3 General] cap1tal1sm:
Hmm ok not sure how this works...but it's specific to the G3. The twitch app I'm talking about is just one gripe I have about ad blocking. I would like to know what other G3 users use...don't really care about any other phone so I wouldn't want to open it to any other forums but again I'm not an xda veteran by any means.
[G3 General] codified:
Adblocking on Android generic, there's no reason for a specific G3 thread.

If Adaway isn't working for you, try minminguard. It's still being actively developed, even though the XDA thread was closed by the developer.
[G3 General] pikachukaki:
adfree for now cause im too bored to fix adblock plus!
[G3 General] cap1tal1sm:
...The reason is that I don't care about any other android other than G3? Why have separate phone threads if it's all "Android". Also I don't see why having a G3-specific thread about ad-blocking is detracting from anyone's life.... unless we're using up the xda forum storage space by having a one-page thread repeated for a specific phone
[G3 General] Schumi_wk:
Using this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916098

very satisfied with it, it blocks the most of the ads only thing about it is that you need to install it through recovery.
[G3 General] dedebekri:
I prefer adaway and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.myandroidtools

AdAway does its job good and has a whitelist function. Also My Android Tools can deal with individual apps (I use it to block ad services of some apps which used to drive me mad by showing full screen ads)

AdAway + MinMinGuard was the finest solution until Lollipop showed up.

Boot loader is unlocked, tried everything besides a different computer. Tried different cord, different USB port, everything.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craig.buckie:
Close any other running programs, especially Chrome. Then if still not doing it, install CWM Recovery instead, and if you still want TWRP flash it from CWM Recovery.

My N5 won't let me have TWRP, so if you just want the functions of a recovery, try a different one.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Tried Wug's, and got the same result when I got to it sending the fast boot commands. Prompt just hangs until I select reboot fast boot.

I'm at my end right now, because I want to remove all this dumb Google bloatware so badly. Was thinking about trying to flash stock image, or relock and unlock boot loader again to see if that does anything, but I'm very nervous that those options might not work because of the fact that fast boot commands aren't working. Certainly don't want to end up with a $400 paperweight...
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
I assume you're on 5.0.1. Flash the boot or recovery image from the factory image in fastboot. See if that works. That might rule out a fastboot issue. If it flashed it won't do anything negative to your device
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Going to give this a shot now..

Worth mentioning, I ran an OEM Lock command, and successfully relocked the bootloader, so it appears fastboot is at least partially working. Going to attempt to flash the bootloader in the image from Google, because that is all there is. Just bootloader and image, no recovery image. I will post results here. I don't know why fastboot commands are broken after unlocking bootloader, but there is one thing that seems odd to me:

When I run fastboot devices, it returns the following (has been like this from the beginning):

C:\Users\saltam\Downloads\TWRP>fastboot devices
???????????? fastboot

Thoughts?

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwoRNLeaDejZ:

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
I am starting to think this is a read/write error.. It is getting the error whenever it tries to write to the tablet... (sending boot.img results in the error every time)... Anyone know of fastboot/adb commands to check/fix read and write errors

**EDIT**

So, much to my chagrin, it appears to just be my computer... Tried on a different laptop, and was able to get it rooted.. For some odd reason though, I don't think TWRP is installing correctly ??

I am going to try and boot into recovery, but every time i try to flash it with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img it says it was successful, but a boot into recovery mode comes up as the dreaded NO COMMAND laying down Android icon. Super frustrating..

**EDIT 2**

So after much trying of different methods, I was able to successfully flash TWRP with Flashify. Not sure why I couldn't do it manually through fastboot but I'm good now. Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. This can be marked as closed or solved. Thanks!
