You said you were thinking of getting a sticker from eBay and then asked if you stick it to the cover or the device itself.

They answered that you stick it to the cover and said to look at your original cover for an example of how it is placed.

No mention of pulling original sticker since you said you were thinking of getting a new one from eBay.

However, I have read of more than one person saving and reusing the oem sticker (which is the one that comes on the phone and is nfc only) and it being suggested to put it on wax paper or something just in case you need it again.

Your question seems to have been about where to place a sticker and their answer was on the new back not somehow on the inside of the phone... although I'm not even sure how someone would put a sticker inside the phone (maybe stick it to the battery?) but that's irrelevant because it goes on the inside of the removable back cover.

Wait, really?

Are you responding for someone else? With no foresight of what they meant to say?

Awesome. You are clairvoyant in all aspects of your life.

Thank you for the unsolicited advice.

I look forward to your next reading.

Wow.

What exactly are you looking for here?

If it's a new sticker, remove it from it's packaging and place it on your new wood look stickerless back.

If it's your OEM sticker, peel it from your OEM cover and place it on your new wood look stickerless back.

I was not aware that only one person at a time was allowed to respond to questions here.

I hope you enjoyed my unsolicited advice.

More importantly I hope my unsolicited advice might help someone who actually understands the purpose of this forum.

Just my input so far regarding wireless charging.

I originally got one of those Hong Kong $5 DIY stickers for wireless charging. I removed the OEM NFC sticker on my faux leather back, and applied this one.

This $5 DIY sticker kind of worked: it did not work with my old samsung QI charger but it did work with my TYLT vu charger. But when wireless charging, it made a hissing/humming sound. Since I charge my phone while in bed sleeping, the hissing sound was loud and annoying enough that I can hear it while trying to sleep. In regards to not working with the samsung charger, I believe it's because of the wattage is lower on the samsung charger because it is connected to the outlet via USB adaptor plug, where the TYLT vu is plugged in via AC adaptor. As well, when charging on TYLT it was extremely hot. I also tried to charge the DIY sticker with the Ikea QI products, none of them would work. The results are the same as mentioned in previous posts on this thread (it will say charging, but doesn't charge, and then disconnect and actually would drain the battery fast). Therefore, the DIY sticker from overseas you need a high voltage QI charger AND it will make a hissing sound that is annoying.

Since I love wireless charging, I bit the bullet and got the OEM wireless charging back that is available on amazon.com for $99. This works flawlessly with all my QI chargers, and the back sits flush like the backs without wireless charging.

I hope my story has helped someone here.

Thanks for the input, I will have to get one of those OEM one and test it out, but unable to do so ATM, from my searching, there are no white OEM covers available yet.

Thanks, no need I'll wait for the white cover to be available.

But I'm puzzled about the compatibility, the cover only contains a coil, and nothing more.
[LG V10 Accessories] Milimbar:
I got tired of not having wireless charging and bought the one you linked, only 9 left now it says.

Sucks that you have to spend $50 to get it instead of 5 or 10 on a sticker like with every other phone.

But I guess this will have to do until someone makes stickers that actually work correctly with this phone.

Thanks for the link, I will update how well this works once it arrives around the 5th.
[LG V10 Accessories] ShermCraig:
My sticker works perfectly.
[LG V10 Accessories] Milimbar:
Most do not.

Share a link to the one you got if it works well so other people know.

Every sticker I have tried results in either overheating or chirping noises from the charger.

The few that do not overheat or chirp, charge slowly or not at all.

PS..

I have the G3, G4, and V10.

I also have quite a few chargers including ones from Choetech and Spigen as well as lesser known brands. Both single coil and 3 coil.
[LG V10 Accessories] ShermCraig:
I bought this on Amazon. Personally, I think its all in how it is applied, but that's just me.

[LG V10 Accessories] Milimbar:
I am glad that one is working for you, however the same one is not working for most others.

You can see on amazon there are like 25 different brands that all have the same pictures up.

Those are all from one manufacturer.

If you see the cover sticker it will also always say "Wireless Chargeing" with Charging spelled wrong.

Yootech designs and produces them and resells to other vendors.

I guess those stickers work fine with some chargers but some people here at XDA found out the coils are made of the wrong type of wire, and the magnet behind the coil is not strong enough.

This makes those coils not work with most chargers.

Just to be safe, because I do not want to see anyone's phone ruined...

Set your phone on your charger in a quiet room, and put your ear right next to the phone and listen for a clicking or chirping sound.

If you do hear it remember its really not supposed to do that.

**EDIT** everyone should use smile.amazon.com !
[LG V10 Accessories] ShermCraig:
Perfectly silent. I use with 3 different wireless chargers - no issues with any.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamiethemorris:
Okay, so I'm familiar with how this works generally... I know it has to be the stock ROM, or at least close enough. I'm on Cataclysm which I've heard works. I know it needs to be temporarily unrooted and the bootloader unlocked.

I would just use XPosed No Device Check, but since Xposed is not working in Marshmallow right now AFAIK, that's not an option. Here is what I'm wondering:

-If I relock and re-unlock the bootloader, will it wipe my device?

-Am I correct in my understanding that people have had success on Cataclysm and it should work?

-Does the fact that I'm using Layers or a custom kernel make a difference?

-Is there an easier way of doing this I don't know about?

Thanks!

[Nexus 6P General] kingmikel:
I ran into this last night, so I wanted to post this so others don't run into as well. Yesterday I was going to flash a few rows to try them out, so I made a backup in TWRP. Later when I restored the backup, it asked for my pin once the phone booted. I entered in my pin, but it said it was the wrong one. I tried restoring the backup again, but same error kept occurring. Eventually I had to do a factory reset. I'm guessing that there is no way to restore a pin, pattern, etc. So before you make a backup, be sure to turn off any lock screen security measures so you don't run into the same problem!

Problem

If you have a TWRP backup and you had a secure lock screen, when you restore it will not be the same pin/pattern/password. You will not be able to get past the lock screen.

Also if you try to restore a back up from one phone to another, it can render the fingerprint scanner useless until you factory reset. You'll get red text on your lockscreen that states "Fingerprint hardware not available"

Solution

Restore your backup. Then while still in TWRP go delete /data/system/locksettings.db

This should let you swipe to unlock your phone. Your fingerprints will still be saved and can be used once you set up a secure lock screen

Problem

If you made a backup of one Nexus 6P, and got a new Nexus 6P and restored the old phone's backup, then it may be a little different to fix.

Solution

To clear fingerprint/Nexus Imprint data, delete/move to backup:

/data/fpc/ # this seems to be related to inability to add/remove imprints, perhaps the hardware ID, I haven't checked the contents of global.db

For each user (e.g. 0), delete/move to backup:

/data/system/users/0/fpdata/
/data/system/users/0/settings_fingerprint.xml # You can actually rename fingerprints without problems, this file seems to just reference the hardware storage

[Nexus 6P General] m0h1t:
So when you say remove security, you mean Screen lock = None, yes?
[Nexus 6P General] galaxys:
Think its PIN, Password, and or Finger Print.
[Nexus 6P General] kingmikel:
Tell me about it... I was frustrated as hell!

My phone is not encrypted.

Looks like it doesn't matter whether you are encrypted or not.

Yes precisely! So as long as you remove it before the backup you are fine. Any back ups that had lock screen security will be useless and you will be unable to get back in.

[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
Interesting. Curious, if you restore a back up and re-enable the fingerprint, do you have to set it up again or does it save that info? Might lead credence to Jerry's paranoia about fingerprints not really being secure.
[Nexus 6P General] kingmikel:
From my experience, once you disable the lock screen security, the finger prints are deleted and you would have to set them up again. So there would be no way for them to survive a back up.
[Nexus 6P General] Syystole:
Ok, I just restored from a nandroid TWRP Backup and I re-entered my pattern fine? Maybe it's a pin issue?
[Nexus 6P General] TheBiles:
You can't use your Google account to reset the PIN?
[Nexus 6P General] jackdubl:
So, at this point, it looks like the pattern restores fine but the pin won't and will lock you out. Can we confirm this?
[Nexus 6P General] sirxdroid:
Strange because the pattern really is a PIN, it gets converted into a PIN anyway from what I recall.
[Nexus 6P General] HotLZ:
Pattern fails also. Found out yesterday the hard way.

[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
Don't thank me yet. We need to find out how to restore twrp backups when we change devices without losing our fingerprint features. Let's hope someone finds a way
[Nexus 6P General] jparnell8839:
Frankly, it's enough for me (for now anyway) to just know that I can restore a nandroid to where I can get back in and TBU my apps and settings, even if I have to immediately factory reset and TBU them back.

The fingerprint hashes are likely salted with hardware identifiers. Something tells me this would be located either in the bootloader or the vendor partition. Something tells me that this thread (or one just like it) will likely change how Android security settings are preserved across devices/nandroid restores in the future.
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
This is the most logical reason why this is behaving like that. I am apprehensive of doing the following which could possibly get the fingerprints to work.

Restore EFS partition of unit A's backup into Unit B. I have a feeling that this may be stored in the EFS area. But am apprehensive of bricking my device as I have never done a EFS restore before for whatever reasons. I think it has to be stored somewhere for certain.

Anyone done EFS partition restore across different 6P devices with TWRP? I have not had a lot of details on what is stored there except things like MAC address. and IMEI (such a hardware ID may well be stored there too?)
[Nexus 6P General] ajm786:
Just wanted to give an update. Here are my specs:

Nexus 6P

TWRP 3.0.2 (latest)

Encrypted

Secure boot with pattern

I ran into a situation where I had to restore my TWRP backup. I did, but then promptly forgot to delete the lockscreen file that is mentioned in the OP. It apparently didn't matter, because it....worked!??! Restored everything exactly the way it was, lockscreen pattern, fingerprints and all. Nothing was needed except to restore the backup.

So I guess the question is, is this still an issue? Because to me, I didn't have to do anything special, just restore my backup.
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
On the same set souls be fine since it is the same piece of hardware. What we encountered is issue restoring to a different 6P
[Nexus 6P General] fz798:
I had this issue with my Note 4, found the following information, I hope this helps someone, saved me from a factory reset:

To remove fingerprint database manually, delete

/data/validity/template.db

NOTE: If you have your lock screen set up for fingerprints, this will not reset the lock screen. Upon boot, it will still think you're set up to unlock with fingerprints. You can simply use your backup password to get into your phone then go into settings and set up your fingerprints again. OR if you want, you can remove locksettings.db, locksettings.db-shm, and locksettings.db-wal from /data/system/ while in recovery.

[Nexus 6P General] fz798:
Hmm wonder if that file is specific to the Note and/or Samsung?
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
For what it's worth. I managed to get the fingerprint reader partially working. After restoring the backup of device A into device B. I deleted the 3 locksettings files on /data/system. Then on a hunch, I tried deleting a file I found which is user.db in /data/system/users/0/fpdata. Now after boring the device and going to imprint inside the security settings, it asks me to input my pattern code. Where's previously out immediately quit when trying to scan my finger print, now it legs me scan my finger 5 times and is able to complete more than 3/4 of the fingerprint registration ring which pops up. After that it will keep telling me that my finger is not captured properly. This is by no means complete yet. But at least the fingerprint sensor is partially working now.
[Nexus 6P General] nomb75:
Question about security. What am I missing?

I restored a backup and was locked out and found this thread. So I rebooted in twrp and went to the file manager and deleted /data/system/locksettings.db and rebooted and was able to get back in with no lockscreen and everything restored fine just as I had left it.

But it seems like if my phone was lost or stolen anyone could do this to bypass the lockscreen and have complete access to the phone. I am able to reboot into twrp and navigate the root directory. I was under the impression that the phone was encrypted. I have not removed encryption and the phone says encrypted in Settings.

Anybody have the same issue or can tell me what I am doing wrong? Would like to know how to secure the phone. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P General] ajm786:
If your phone was truly encrypted, you missed a critical step. If you reboot and go into TWRP, it should have asked you for either password, pin, or pattern to decrypt the phone. Without doing this, TWRP would not mount your data at all. The only option for someone who did get their hands on your phone would be to completely wipe the data, which at that point the encryption served its purpose.
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
While booted in Android, enable "Password on boot" in Settings/Security. This will require a pin to access the recovery and to boot the phone (different than lockscreen pin). Other than that, everything you described is normal. TWRP is able to decrypt the encrypted partition and allow you to make modifications. The phone is still encrypted. By having an unlocked bootloader (edit: but Password on boot disabled), you lose out on security when someone has physical access to your phone.

More info from TWRP/pins below:

[Nexus 6P General] nomb75:
Yes that did it. Big thanks to all.
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
I don't see this option in my 6P. Could it be that I have encrypted DATA but because my bootloader is unlocked it does not show up? In Settings -> Security, the Encryption -> Encrypt Phone shows as "Encrypted".
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
Nope lol cuz the other person is unlocked with TWRP installed. Remove then enable your Security settings, it should be available then. I know it is not available if you are decrypted.
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
That does not work. Still don't see that song although I am encrypted
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
Hmm. Which secure lockscreen do you have enabled? It should show up for Pin and Password.

Edit: It may also be referred to as "Secure Start up"

Edit #2 Also, looks like certain apps in Accessibility prevent this from working according to this Reddit post:

[Nexus 6P General] asj0422:
Not sure if this has been answered in 21 pages, but if all it takes to get rid of the lock screen pattern/pin/whatever is deleting a file, doesn't that mean that pretty much anyone can delete that file by using ADB and get into any phone?
[Nexus 6P General] fz798:
Yes, unless the phone is encrypted AFAIK, as that will still require a password on boot
[Nexus 6P General] asj0422:
If the phone is already turned on, then it wouldn't require the password, and pretty much anyone can get in, right? Or does the phone require the computer to be authorized first?
[Nexus 6P General] mko000:
Depends if USB debugging is enabled, I guess? Good question though.
[Nexus 6P General] Gizmoe:
Yes the PC needs authorization phone side before adb commands will work. Also as mentioned above only if USB debugging is enabled can you do any of this.

Just thought I'd chime in here that I recently restored a backup (which had a pattern set) due to SnapPrefs/XPosed not being able to remove cleanly and I had no issues with the pattern (didn't know about this thread or see it). Perhaps it's not all phones affected or certain versions/patches of the system?
