[Google Chromecast] RussianBear:
Using a LG G3 on stock 5.0.1 appears to not work with CC's guest mode for some reason. I've hard-reset cc and ran thru the setup via the phone, but once wi-fi is disconnected, the phone doesn't see cc. Guest mode is on and the pin is visible.

I only remember being able to see the cast icon, while on lte, but the phone was on KK, I believe. Ran thru google's troubleshooting as well: wi-fi scanning is on and data is not restricted. Don't have a second device to test.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Google Chromecast] nighthawkmckenzie:
I have a G4 on the H81210h software version, build LMY47D. Guest Mode is not working (wondering if it's even there)

You are not alone. LG pointed the finger at Google but somehow I doubt its Google. Guest Mode works on every other device I own.

I created a simple and intuitive to-do list app. After completing a task, just swipe to cross if off. It features a minimalist design while still having the deeper features of to-do lists such as recurring tasks. At the core, this app has a smart sort algorithm. Therefore it will prioritize your tasks automatically but without taking away your control over your own list.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miki800:
TLDR - rooted Samsung Galaxy S 2 android 2.3, I need apps' data backed up and restored on a non-rooted Samsung Galaxy S 5 android 4.4.2.

This is what I have tried so far:

I have Titanium on the older android, so its easy enough to back up everything that I want,

but since Titanium demands root and I have no desire to root my newer android (because I actually want to keep the warranty for a change)

I can not unpack my backups using Titanium on the newer device.

So I googled a little and found a great backup app called Helium (previously carbon) that can restore backups WITH DATA

on non-rooted devices with android 4 and higher. Looked perfect at first,

only catch is that it can only be installed on android 4 and higher, so it is useless for me for creating the backups on the first place on the older device.

Then I thought of combining Titanium and Helium this way:

I needed something that could restore Titanium backups (meaning having root)

and also being able to create Helium backups (meaning being android 4 and higher), so for this purpose

I added a new Android VM to my genymotion on my PC, it was a rooted android 4.4.

Then I successfully installed Helium on that VM, but when I tried to launch it I got the following popup message:

"Unfortunately, Helium has stopped."

Thought it was a bad rom, so I tried on newly created 4.3 and 4.1 but still got the same results.

Then I thought, these are my options:

1. Try a different android VM environment, maybe genymotion is too much under-developed for Helium (for example Helium needs usb communication to a 3rd party machine running a desktop application - I don't know if genymotion supports that virtual usb connection).

2. Try googling a different android backup app, that have both the Helium ability (restore backups WITH DATA on android 4 without root) and the Titanium ability (create backups on rooted android 2.3).

3. Research how to convert Titanium backup files to Helium format...

At this point, I felt like I have spent too much time and energy on this thing and for sure the solution exists and other people might know better then me.

So please, if you can help me, please do.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haha123:
If your S2 is rooted, why not just flash to 4.1.2, restore from Titanium, and then create a backup with Helium? You can use Neat ROM.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miki800:
Because some apps stop working properly or at all after I switch roms (worst case scenario I might attempt some sort of manual transfer of data)

I found a non-perfect solution which does not work very good so far (tried restoring a few apps, it failed installing them or the data restore did not restore any data)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.at.free

its not very good, but its the first one I have found which says it is able to restore data on non root and create backups on android 2.3.

I need something else.

Hi so i've been searching and re-searching over and over to fin what is going on but i can't find a solution to my problem, turns out that mi wifi (and bluetooth) can't turn on, funny thing is, i have to reset several times in order to make them work but it will last just a few minutes, although i have notice that when i make it work and stay connected on a strong wifi signal sometimes it wont deactivate but not always this is getting frustating, another thing is that when i do a factory reset or install a new rom rather stock or cm or any variation it will work but just for a minutes as well.... any idea what it could cause this and how to fix it??

Whenever I squeeze the bottom right or bottom left side of the tablet, the tablet loads up google now as if I had been holding the home button. This is a major annoyance as I don't even have to squeeze it that hard, I could just be holding it and it'll happen. Is my tablet defective?

[Lenovo A3500 Questions & Answers] GokulNC:
No, as far as I've searched, no one has made a custom ROM for your tab.

Maybe you'll have to wait for some time till someone creates a ROM.

Else, if you're so interested, learn to create one by yourself ;)

Anyway, you can get most of the features of custom ROMs by just using Xposed Framework and installing modules that you need from it to customize your current firmware.

If you are comfortable with messing with the hardware, there may be a fix. I know on other Samsung devices this has happened and it was due to a loose connection. I believe it has to do with either the display connection to the MB or the power supply to the display.

[General Questions and Answers] Gankachi:
Hey guys! So I've been desperately trying to connect to tor IRC servers through Orbot and has been failing quite a lot for now. Throughout all of my research, I was able to slowly build up a conclusion on my problem and it seems linked to the iptables... Here's all that happened (in short, of course :P) :

I rooted my phone to make any IRC client work thanks to Orbot's transproxy setting.

I added my client to the list of the transproxy, but it didn't work; I tried three different clients: AndChat, AndroIRC and YAAIC, I always got the unresolved Host error.

Thinking it might be a problem with tor, I set up firefox to use the orbot proxy: it worked, which means orbot works perfectly.

I tried connecting to clearnet irc servers with orbot turned on and it worked, so the clients aren't the problem themselves.

At that point, it seems like the irc clients don't connect to the orbot DNS.

I removed AndroIRC from the transproxy list and used the in-app SOCKS proxy settings to try and connect to orbot (similar to firefox, except with the port 9050 and not 8118), but it didn't work. I tried it again with AndroIRC in the transproxy list and it didn't work.

Around that time, I found this thread; since it seemed close to my problem, I decided to give it a try.

I realized in the midst of the action that the folder /data/data/org.torproject.android/app_bin/ did not contain a iptables file. I still followed the tutorial to the end, therefore creating an iptables file.

And so, here I am, and it still doesn't work. I'm using an Xperia U with Android 4.0, Orbot 14.1.4-noPIE(Tor 0.2.5.10-openssl1.0.1i-nonPIE-polipofix) and I can't connect to tor with IRC. Does anyone have an idea of what's even happening here and/or how this could be solved?

Well a user and I on reddit were rooted and he stated that he couldn't use the Samsung Wallet app because he was rooted. I tried it and got a message saying I was rooted and the app closed. I unrooted and boom the app worked, tripped Knox and all. Not saying it will be the same for Samsung Pay, but there's a glimmer of hope. Also in Smart Manager even with a tripped Knox the Device Security says "Secure" with "No unauthorized system changes detected". So we'll have to just wait and see when it is actually released.

If all else fails and it needs an un-tripped Knox I'll just claim my LED flash always on issue others have been having and get a fresh phone from TMO.

I know there were a few apps that I had back in the day, that would make an app not see root, even if your phone was rooted, for example, Google pay had a problem for a bit, and after that app, I know it was fixed. I am sure someone will find a work around, they always do!

[Galaxy S6 General] razor 116:
I'm failing to see how this is confirmation (Maybe I've misread it which is possible ), It seems to me that this is no more than a post on a site with no proof, source etc. maybe this guy knows a guy who knows a guy who works at Samsung in some capacity, I'll wait until it's stated by Samsung that rooting will remove the devices capacity to use the service regardless of unrooting afterwards.

If this does turn out to be true i.e. if Samsung does clearly state that the service is unusable after rooting (and still unusable even after unrooting) then this would be imo kind of funny because a jailbroken iPhone can use Apple pay but a rooted (which is far more the norm on android vs jailbroken on iOS) Galaxy S6 can't.
[Galaxy S6 General] the Doctor:
Sammobile has inside sources at Samsung and rarely gets this stuff wrong. Other Android websites are treating this as news and not rumor for that reason. If they are saying that root breaks Samsung Pay, then you can be 99% sure it does.

Ok but still it's BS because nothing is fully known/confirmed yet. All just speculation in my eyes. We'll see in a few months what the REAL story is.

I tend to agree, Until this is stated by Samsung themselves I will treat this as rumour and speculation. The post on their site has no mention of it being based on information shared by an insider in fact it looks more like a click bait article. I have no interest in Samsung Pay and therefore either way it does not matter to me however I would rather it be stated by Samsung clearly than Sammobile writing articles about it with no mention of a source or even if it has a source and is not simply speculation or more likely click bait.

That post has no concrete evidence (tests done with app/confirmation from samsung) and is pure speculation. Was posted on reddit as well. The article assumes that since Samsung Wallet doesn't work when the phone is rooted, it is most likely that Samsung Pay won't work either.

It depends on whether Samsung Pay functionality is broken only by root or by tripping Knox. If root, then unrooting or using a root blocker may restore functionality. If it depends on Knox, there is almost no hope.

Unless Samsung Pay is the most important feature or reason for getting this device, this news is not newsworthy. I'm not going to stay unrooted for a feature I would probably never use.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Oliv3:
Wow that sucks for people who rooted. Samsung pay is pretty neat to have, considering it works just like plastic.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] the Doctor:
I'm totally on the same page as many here. Even if my phone had Wallet, Pay or some other app, I wouldn't use it--I'd pull out my credit card instead. The downside for me is that I've never kept a smartphone for over a year, and the prospect of listing one on swappa or ebay with broken features that will degrade the value of the device is pretty unattractive. And not rooting is not an option for me.

I also think newbs should be made aware of the consequences of rooting. I'm not worried about most of you guys because you know what you are doing.
