As you already noticed, I cant watch any online videos on my phone as they stutter or do not play at all. I didn't have this problem when I updated to Lollipop. For two weeks now every time I try open a video I face this issue. So I tried to empty the Cache of Chrome, install different browser, open the files with a media player and nothing helped. Does anybody have/had this issue? I am on Stock .242 with locked bootloader.

Can service provider read our chats and sms on andoird phones? How to guard our communication to keep it hidden even from mobile provider?

I have used a firewall app that creates vpn but it doesnt seem able to guard our privacy.

It could be from app that connects to our account? Can the app read our personal data?

Thanks.

If the communication is not encrypted, everything can be read, not "only" android, but even the sms on your iPhone.

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hey guys,

My nexus 5 has a dead screen :( It did not get wet or hit any surface. It was in my hand when suddenly it went black. The phone is still working because the notification light works and beeps when i get a new message or call. USB debugging is not enabled so I cant use adb. Connecting my usb cable to a computer used to allow me to access the internal storage, but now it doesnt. It just shows an empty folder! (Dont know what changed).

My phone is still under warranty so i am getting a replacement. But i really want to backup my data!! I read a post that said I might be able to mirror my screen, but I do not have an OTG cable or an MHL to HDMI cable. Never used them before either. Does anyone in San Jose or surrounding areas have these cables that I can borrow? My replacement phone is on its way, so ordering the cables online wont work as I will get the cables late!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] riahim:
I know this has been asked numerous times but I still can't seem to fix the battery issue with google play.

I've tried the normal tweaks (use battery saving location, clear cache, disable google now, only sync what need to be synced, etc) but does anyone else have any other ideas?

btw I've already disabled VoLTE which helped some (not with google services but general battery)

My SOT is like 30 min today. Other days I've had better battery but it is always after google services and sometimes after android.

I'm stock and non rooted. Any help would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] SilkyJohnson:
Check themes and apps for my thread and download the latest version. Other than that there isnt much you can do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] riahim:
I haven't changed the stock theme and I'm running the latest version...

Surely there has to be something I can do. I mean 30 min Screen on time and already at 50% is horrendous
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
My Google Play Service is sitting at like 3% with over 12 hours off the charger. I turned off Google Now and location history. They'll suck your battery dry if you let them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] riahim:
What does location history do? I've never really understood it.

It doesn't affect location, does it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] FluxionFluff:
I'm having this issue too. It's always in the top 2 apps in battery use. I've tried to keep everything updated, but it's always over 10%, so I have no idea how to fix it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] SilkyJohnson:
I meant the latest version of Google Play Services.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
In combination with Google now abs other google apps, it keeps track of everywhere you've been to present new information to you (like travel time to places you go to frequently). As you can imagine it polls your location a lot and drains battery. Disabling will not affect location however.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] riahim:
How do I check for the latest version? I currently have 7.5.71(1955121-440) which I think is up to date, no?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] riahim:
Gotcha. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] SilkyJohnson:
Yeah, that's current. Go into your app drawer and open Google settings. Click location history at the bottom of the first screen then turn off. That'll help. Also check advanced WiFi scanning, as Google's "always scanning even when WiFi is off" turned itself back on for me. That'll murk a battery.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjoz:
Hi,

i've imported my photos from my internal memory via sony bridge for mac accidentally in Iphoto. I didn't see the app was faded and crossed. Turns out only the app Photos is still working. So after importing 2700 pics (big trip and behind with backup), the question popped if I wanted to delete the fils on my phone and I said yes. I tried to re install Iphoto, but nothing there, but older pics. I tried the temporary files from the Mac, but nothing.

So now I got my hopes up for a data recovery software thing. But although Windows (Im working on another laptop) did install the drivers correctly and I see my phone in the folder structure, no data recovery software recognises my phone although I switched to MSC and USB-debugging. I think because I haven't rooted it i suppose. Well, that's what all the forum members say :)

So I think rooting is my only option left? I am wondering if it works for my goal to get my data back. I read that unlocking the boot loader means everything will be erased, so then there would be no point for me to do this. Is it possible to root it without losing my (deleted) data on the internal memory? I know it is being overwritten now as we speak, but I'm sure I can save a few photos!

thanks a million!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amplifiction:
First off, I don't fully understand the first bit involving iPhoto. But if I understand correctly, you need to recover files deleted from internal memory.

I think recognizing a phone's internal memory is indeed a steep expectation for general Windows file recovery software. However, there may be some specialized programs out there designed just for that purpose. I know for a fact they exist for iOS for example. Not that I'm a fan. Anyway, googling "recover Android files Windows" showed some interesting results, but as I have no experience I can make no recommendations. I did see Easeus among the results, and I personally would start there based on experience with other software by them: http://www.easeus.com/android-data-recovery-software/free-android-data-recovery.html

This would be your safest bet. As you probably know, your photos are still there as long as they are not overwritten. Being able to recover from an external device (PC) is therefore preferable to making changes to your internal memory. It's also far less complex than rooting :)

Another thought before getting into rooting: I don't suppose you had an app like Google+ making automated backups of your pictures? If so, you might find them on your Google Drive. This also might be a good idea to avoid trouble like this in the future ;)

Third and last resort: you could try a data recovery app on your phone, like GT Data Recovery. That does requires root. The good news: you don't need to unlock your bootloader to be able to root. Locked bootloader means you're limited to stock roms, but they too can be rooted.

Here's a useful thread describing in detail what you'd need to do:

http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343

In your case, I'd run data recovery ASAP, meaning

Downgrade your firmware, leaving data in Flashtool unchecked (!!) (See thread's FAQ for detailed explanation)

Root

Install GT Data Recovery or similar from Google Play and run it

After you've recovered all photos you can and backed up all your other data, follow the procedure in the recommended way, which includes wiping data. Do note however, that the firmware mentioned there is outdated (March 2015). You can find up to date firmware here: http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/list-stock-firmwares-d5803-d5833-t2906706

Good luck!

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjoz:
Thanks!

I did try several data recovery software programs, including EaseUS, but none recognised my internal memory unfortunately. I switched all auto back up programs like Google Plus off, because it was just too much. I take so many pics of my kids and the selection process usually doesn't take place directly, so it backs up everything and I've got to many pics in my Google Plus account. But this was a wise lesson i should backup somehow.

So only option 3 is left. As i read it, when I root it, the data on my internal memory won't be deleted? Stock ROM is fine for me, I'm very happy with my standard software, if rooting is what it takes, that's what i should do.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
If you're rooted, you can use the app DiskDigger. Worked for me
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amplifiction:
Generally speaking, wiping data is recommended when flashing a new ROM. Because Giefroot requires older firmware, you need to flash that firmware. Which means a data wipe comes recommended. Technically however, wiping data is optional. It is possible to downgrade without wiping data (by unchecking the respective option in Flashtool). So that is what I'd do in order to recover your pictures.

Once that has been accomplished, along with a backup of all other data you wish to keep, I would start the whole process again as described in the thread I linked to. Because this time, the objective would be not data recovery, but ending up with a stable phone. And that means wiping data. (Highly recommended.)

I don't want to complicate things further, but if you don't care about being rooted after data recovery, you could just upgrade to regular stock firmware instead of pre-rooted firmware. This would allow you to skip a few steps of the process, and also avoid being unable to apply Sony's OTA updates. (Significant updates can cause a loss of root.)

Personally, I would not want to give up root once I have put effort into getting it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreamslacker:
If you have successfully imported from the phone into iPhoto, then you simply need to import your iPhoto Library into Photos in Mac.

Check if you can find the iPhoto library by going to Finder -> Home -> Pictures

There should be 2 libraries there - one for iPhoto, and one for the newer Photos app that came along in April. Double-click the iPhoto library and wait for Photos to launch, then follow the instructions to import the library into Photos.

Make sure you have enough disk space (on the Mac) to do this. You'll need at least as much free space as the size of the iPhotos library to import it into Photos and possibly more.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllesMeins:
Hi,

I just noticed a curious thing, I can't explain - my GPS seems to work better the farther West I get. I live in Germany (Frankfurt) and went on vacation to London (about 400 Miles west from Frankfurt). There I started noticing that my Galaxy S3 was much faster in fixing my position than I was used to. So I decided to start an experiment - since I was going back by train I started a GPS recording when boarding in London and monitored how the signal quality behaved (To show you how bad my GPS usualy is: I was not once able to get a GPS fix inside a train or bus in Frankfurt - in London it worked almost instantly). As it turns out - the overall signal got weaker and weaker during the journey. Just before Brussels my Phone started to lose the position fix for a few moments, than it happend more frequently, accuracy and number of satellites "in use" went down and just after Cologne the fix was completely lost and I wasn't able to get one inside the train until my destination.

During the journey I switched trains only once in Brussels and the weather was sunny for the whole time - so that should be no reason for the worsening signal.

Does anybody have an explanation for this behaviour? And maybe a way to fix it?

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini with Cyanogenmod (CM 11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-serranoltexx) and had it set to "GPS only"

Sure, I've been using it for several years now. Pros are the desktop apps you can run (see the link below), the only real con is you can't upgrade to RT 8.1 as the jailbreak only works on the original RT 8.0 release. It's pretty simple to use as it's a script that you run after the OS boots (it is not persistent across reboots).
