Just tested last beta (1.0.3). (Update: My first answer was bs because I didn't read the changelog)

My device is a moto g 2014 xt1068.

Lock works very good. But I always have to long click twice to get back from the parental warning. Don't know if this is normal or a device specific problem.

Maybe it's better to encrypt the pin. You know these children can't count to ten but remember exactly where you clicked [emoji23]

The last point is when closing a played game I get back to the normal home screen not into kids folder so the pin is bot needed anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
hmm the need for double long click looks more an app bug than a device problem.

Ok for the pin. For the last point i have an idea but i'm not sure if it will work on all devices, i'll check in a couple of hours and i'll tell you.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Sorry for the delay but yesterday i had to test the "Do Homework" and "Watch Cartoons With Me" apps with my son :)

I managed to get back to kids folder after closing a game. The tasks button is not trapped yet but i i believe it is possible, this evening i'll investigate.

I have also crypted the pin and added a feedback when you touch the parental warning, maybe it was only slow to react and the second touch wasn't needed.

I have been able to test on a 4.4 note 2 and a 5.0.1 note 4 other than emulators, i believe it will work fine also on your device but phones are strange :)

Let me know
[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:
Yes. Works for me now too!!

You were right. It's a very long click. So this is working too! But no feedback (vibration?) for me.

Do you think it is possible to add specific folders from a gallery app? I'm using quickpic and created a folder for my nephew with only his pictures, videos and some cartoons. If I could load just this folder into the app it would be absolutely perfect. Not sure if this is possible at all (maybe own browsing function?). I also know that I can hide folders in quickpic but it's not good if you just want to show a picture quickly and then give it back to the kid.

I also really like the tutorial. Very Good idea.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
I'm glad :)

The feedback should be a message "Going back to kids folder", shown as a toast.

About the pictures folder i have to check, do you know if you can put a link to the folder on the desktop using QuickPic?
[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:
My hand always covered the toast but it's there.

Linking a folder to home screen is possible in quickpic.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
I'm investigating, it's relatively easy to create a shortcut inside the kids folder to launch quickpic in the same way the desktop link does.

What is difficult (or not possible) is to ask quickpic to choose the folder and get the filesystem location back.

Maybe the only way is implementing a filesystem browser inside kids folder, i'll keep investigating
[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:
Would it be easier to link to a specific file?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
I think yes, because the problem is that quickpic doesn't provide entry points to browse the gallery (or at least i didn't find).
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Before i go ahead to add a shortcut to the kids folder, can you check if you are able to: identify, select and open in quickpic the correct folder using this test release?
[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:
Hey. Just tried your test build. It asks to create [kids name]_Folder. But when I try to add a folder it says 'folder could not be created'.

I also tried to add quickpic to allowded apps but still says the same.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Sorry, i had to explain better how the folder browser works in the test build.

You don't have to create a folder (please ignore the + button), you have to browse the filesystem to find the folder where quickpic put your photos and select it.

After selecting quickpic should be opened and should shown the photos
[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:
Browsing doesn't work. The list is empty. Up arrow, + button, select don't work. Only the cancel button is working. Seems like there is no access to filesystem.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
:( it was my fear. I'll keep studying!
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Let's try again :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:
Access to filesystem possible. I can browse through all folders even on external SD card (microSD). After choosing a folder the popup closes and asks with what gallery app I want to open. I choose quickpic (tried the other ones too) but then it opens that folder and nothing happens.

PS: the last balloon is cut off when names are long. (Tapatalk doesn't let me upload a screenshot at this time)
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
That's ok thank you. This release just opens the folder in quickpic (you see the photo right?).

Now i know that the same code used to is usable to create a shortcut and put inside the kids folder.

Next release i'll add the shortcut creation, that's the easiest part :)

Ok for the name, i'll reduce the space between ballons if names are long
[Android Apps and Games] Arbiter7:
Honestly I think this is a really nice idea my aunt especially will love this because her kid is always going through her phone trying to find games, now that it can conveniently be organized she won't have to worry about him doing anything goofy! Good job guys :D
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
New beta 1.0.7 is available.

A photo folder can be added to the drawer

Folder browser user interface revisited

Added frames around the games icons

While i can restict the child from leaving the image viewer app, there is no way to block the navigation "inside" the viewer app.

Next release i'll add an internal image viewer ;)

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bibi77:
Hello,

It's my first post :)

Since i've updated my galaxy tab S from android 4 to android 5, I detected that i haven't the right to write on the sd card and in some case, to delete file (ie with mx player)

In order to resolve this problem, i found a topic on internet that resolved my issue

Step 1: Using a file explorer with root access capabilities like Root Explorer, navigate to /system/etc/permissions folder. Make sure you have r/w access

Step 2: Find the platform.xml file and open it using a text editor. If you are using Root explorer, long press on the platform.xml file and select Open With -> Text editor to open the file in a text editor. Now, find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in the file.

Step 3: Add the following line on a new line under the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission without the quotes – “<group gid=”media_rw” />”.

Step 4: Save the file and restart your device

After this, you will be able to use your sdcard as you always used it

Yes, cause you'll modify a file that is in the system folder ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dissgro:
There is no need for messing with it at all on Lollipop. SD card access is granted on a per app basis.

It's up to the app developers to update their apps to support the SD card changes made in Lollipop, in MX player's case, the newest beta has that new lollipop api implemented, thus full SD card access.

for some reason all my msn messenger contacts were copied to my phone contacts, and its real annoying! anybody know how to take them off?

also, when i dial a number, and then press save, then new contact, it only gives me 2 choices: outlook contact or windows live

wth?? i just want to save this number on my phone.... how would i go about doing that?? thanks

omar
[HTC Excalibur] windsorguy13:
Hey Omar,

Welcome to WM6 :). When you want to save a contact like that, just make it an outlook contact, that's the option you want to use. As for having your Messenger contacts merged with your regular ones, I like that feature about as much as you do. Once you sign into messenger your messenger contacts are copied down and merged with the rest. I don't really have a solution, just wanted to explain why it's doing what its doing.... it's a feature of WM6.
[HTC Excalibur] jantjo:
Bump.

Have the same issue and seeing if anyone has found a reg entry that this can be disabled.
[HTC Excalibur] uwashock:
Annoys the hell out of me. I have 150 msn messenger contacts and hate having them in my contacts on my phone. I think its really stupid for Microsoft to force us have them in there, i wish they'd give us a choice to add or not. Blahh

i use web version of msn messenger now.

[HTC Excalibur] redirete:
This really sucks!!! Yesterday I updated to WM6 :mad: and now I'm really pissed off. There is no way to get back before synch? mmmmg
[HTC Excalibur] Kichigai:
They DO give you an option, last I remember. And I'm pretty sure this was part of WM5 too. When you first use Messenger, I believe it asks you if you wish to merge the two items. I find it a little annoying (I end up with multiple listings for people, IE: Phil vs. Phillip), and I agree, there ought to be a way to disable it.
[HTC Excalibur] jmgallego:
Delete all contacts

I am in the same boat :mad: Is there a way to delete ALL the contacts, except those in my SIM?

Thanks! ;)

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hajyihia:
hey guys, i know its too early to know, but what do you think about the S6 long period performance? will it take a hit after 2 months like all galaxy phones or this time its something new?? because i am thinking of getting one, and i do not want the phone to start lagging after a couple of months, this is after all the weakness of all samsungs...what do you think?? THANKS
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prophet42:
Had my Note 4 for over 5 months now, and it's not lagging at all. Weird.

Of course I switched off the bits that I don't use like SVoice.

I take it you been staying on Stock when you had these problems with previous Samsungs?

Hard to know what will happen to the S6 being this new out. I'm going to be getting one around April 11th. I'll come back and let you know if you like?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayr04:
Only time will tell. But I will say my 6 month old z3 is smoother than my brand new s6.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poetique:
The performance hit it takes will be inversely proportional to the amount of crap you put on it.

The time element of using the device is borderline irrelevant until hardware components actually degrade significantly.

With that said, the real question is how much of a difference UFS 2.0 will make when it comes to handling a device with large amounts of stuff on the device, and at what percentage of the device being full that slowdown occurs.

So to answer your question the answer right now is... it depends.

Unless somebody has been clocking their device while filling it up with a variety of things anyway lol.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hajyihia:
there is the recent apps lag, which do hurts...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hajyihia:
really?? even sony will outperform samsung now??
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenxo:
My s5 has all its internal and a 64gb microsd that are both full meaning delete something to save something full, and runs lag free. With the amount of hardware in this s6, I doubt filling it up will slow it down as far as performance wise. Maybe if you have it full with music and try to access the music player it may take a little longer to load all the tracks or something, but i doubt anything to worry about.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayr04:
Sony phones have very little bloat. And even though the S6 will probably beat the z3 in a benchmark test, the z3 still feels faster Imo

I have tried removing the account and signing in again and using different credit cards. I'm having this problem on both of my nexus players, so I've been having to purchase episodes on my phone.

The nexus player is not a very good product in my opinion. I've had endless problems with both of the players I purchased. The fire TV really is so much more pleasant to use. Eventually I would like to make a list of all the issues and small things that could be improved and send them to Google. Anyways, i apologize for the rant.

No need to panic. I assume yours is the 9500 variant. But i cant guarantee the data in your phone. I even dont know the data retrieval procedure since you say that your phone is unbootable .

If you already have your contacts , messaging and others which can be backed up to google servers, backed up then you dont need to worry, you know...

The steps i provide you is only an outline and you have to read in depth in this forum..

Just enter recovery mode of the phone and select wipe. Refer this forum for detailed

Your phone will be back to working condition i suppose. If it is so, then dont just stop with that. Use ODIN to flash the ROM downloaded which is around 1.5gb to your phone by following the steps . You can get the ROM as well as ODIN by the links provided in this forum itself.

Detailed steps are available in this forum and they are exhaustive so i need not tell more.

Good Luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpsil:
Hello dude. The best option you have to do is this:Turn off your phone. Press volume up+the power button in the same time and voila!!! You will be in the recovery mode in no second.

After that choose the "factory reset/wipe" option (i am not sure about the title) and press yes.I think that might help you. But be careful, you will lose all your installed apps and maybe some data like contacts... It's your choice! :)

You can also first try to just wipe the cache in the recovery.

Remember that performing a full wipe in the normal recovery also wipes your internet storage.

If you don't want that, then flash a custom recovery and then wipe.
