[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] Rizan Mohammed:
Thanks.

My device Sparkle V running on Stock ROM Android 6.0, it was rooted and installed TWRP Recovery.

Shall I simply flash the Universal OTA?

Should I need to do factory reset, clear data/cache?

Please tell me the exact procedure without bricking the device.

Thanks!!!
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] hp5942:
No need to factory reset

But create a nandroid backup in case something goes wrong
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] Rizan Mohammed:
So you want me to simply flash the OTA zip.

[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] Rizan Mohammed:
Dude!!! I successfully flashed the Universal OTA update 6.0.1 with TWRP Recovery.

After flashing.., it unrooted the device and also replaced the Custom kernel with stock kernel. Another annoying thing was still am getting update notification to download and install OTA 6.0.1.

What I did..

Just repeated the Rooting procedure by flashing custom kernel(Zeus kernel) and SuperSU_v2.52. Got Rooted!!!

Then blocked notification from Google play services.

Thanks you so much guys!!!

Hello everyone.

Maybe it's a dumb question.. But:

I bought an Lg V10 about couple of weeks ago. (from israel. LG H960YK)

But i saw at all the videos and pictures the back of all the devices they has the "v10" logo.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 9823j4ia:
I couldn't restore the backup I made from my sdcard. I kept getting 'can't find backup.img' error or something. Anyway, I still have the ~2gb backup with files like "cache.ext4.tar", "data.ext4.tar", etc. I just want to get my contacts' phone numbers, and find out what theme I was using. I already reinstalled everything. Is this possible? If so, how?

I would also like to restore my firefox profile if possible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Are you using the same recovery? Have you moved the backup? It should be in sdcard/twrp/backups/ "serial number"/name of backup. If its having trouble finding it, you can move it to internal storage. Put it in the backups folder for twrp on internal.

You can extract apps from a backup, but not contacts or accounts. If you keep your contacts synced to Google they will always come back when you log in.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickt1988:
Hi guys,

I'm thinking of moving from apple to android to have borrowed my friends S5 to see if i like it. So far its pretty good but i'm struggling with my music. I have a 60gb iTunes library but usually i only have around 20gb (2600 songs) on my iphone. I've tried to get this on to a SD card in the S5 but i keep having problems. Here's what I've tried:

1) sync iTunes using Syncr. - This put most of the music on the phone but android wasn't showing it all. ES file explorer only showed 400 songs, CloudPlayer only showed 776 and Poweramp showed most of them but they had unknown artist and unknown album. Because of the Unknown Artist and Album issue i have gone into iTunes and converted the ID3 tags.

2) sync iTunes using Doubletwist airsync - This seems to have put all of the music on the SD Card however ES File Explorer is only showing 1506 songs, Cloudplayer showins 397 and is trying to import 1005 more, Poweramp is showing 2423 songs but still have unknown artist and unknown album, also some songs will not play, there is no error message displayed.

So i'm at a loss of what to do any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Nick
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Have you tried simply copying the music from your computer onto the SDcard?

This is Android, so you can just manage it as an external harddrive. You don't need to sync anything, you can just use Explorer (or Finder, depending on the OS of the computer you're using). (Although I recommend using a cardreader instead of directly through the phone via USB cable, as the transfer protocol isn't exactly fast.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickt1988:
i tried that but it doesn't want to work either. If i format the SD card using the phone then i cannot mount it on my mac. If i format it to Fat32 on my mac and put it in the phone it only shows as 193mb even though the Mac shows it as 64gb. Even if i copy my music to it and put it in the phone it still shows as 193mb. I'm starting to think that the SD card is the problem. I've ordered a new class 10 one, if that doesn't work then i will post again.

Thanks

Hi,

I backed up my chats in WhatsApp before flashing a different ROM.

Now that I have installed it again, the WhatsApp chat restore keeps failing with error ""Alert: We were unable to restore any of your messages"

And the backup is dated 11/17/1970 for some reason.

Is there any way to fix this?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1337SereniTyx3:
Bump
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seatsea:
To me this looks like a broken backup, something with the phone's clock problem when wrong when backing up.

1970 is the year when Unix time started which is often used behind the scenes to keep track of time on logs for example. That would explain why that specific date, but not why the issue happened.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1337SereniTyx3:
This isn't the first time. A month ago, I was on stock ROM and backed up my chats. I couldn't restore back then either. The backup was dated, same, 1970. Fortunately I had Titanium Backup's WhatsApp backup back then. That restored with data just fine. This time I lost my TB backup because of Airdroid and have no means of recovering my messages.

Btw, this time I tried manually adjusting clock of my phone before backing up the chats (no automatic time from carrier). Still no luck when restoring.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seatsea:
Seems to me something is broken on WhatsApp's side, you may want to contact their support of you haven't already.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukrass:
Hi guys,

I'm facing the same issue and tried out many things, but none of them did work out for me. My database files are from the type crypt7 and WhatsApp dates them to 01/01/1970 I think.

- I renamed the related database file to "msgstore.db.crypt8", cause I think it's the latest database file type.

This actually resulted in WhatsApp showing the right date, but I still had no luck with restoring the backups.​

- I renamed the related database file to "msgstore.db.crypt".

No difference from trying to restore the original .crypt7 file.​

- I deleted the related media files and the wallpaper backup, just leaving one database file behind in the database folder.

Doesn't work either.​

- I even tried to set my phone's date to something close before the 1st of January 1970.

Still no luck with restoring my backup database.​

So please, if you find a way to fix this, let us know!

I would be very grateful! :)

Pls help. Does anybody have an advice on how to restore the backups?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LegoTechniker:
Hi,

the protection features of some ROMs can block access to the backup data (storage) and whatsapp doesn't ask for permission. You must give whatsapp that permission upfront.

For Lineage with privacy protection enabled, you need to configure this at two different locations. The privacy protection in the drop down menu and the permission in the app settings.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rho-bot:
Did you check with a file manager that you have a backup under internal storage (/storage/emulated0/WhatsApp/Databases/msgstore_xxx.db.crypt12)?

Does Whatsapp detect the backup, but shows Size: 0bytes?

In this case, https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79466457&postcount=9 was the solution for me...
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomalamix:

This has worked for me: giving full permissions to Whataspp in "Settings - Privacy" and in "Settings - Applications" worked like a charm, you have to do it BEFORE you start Whatsapp.

IT WORKED!!

On a Huawei P40, after the problems with Google, I couldn't retrieve the backup from any source (Google Drive, local etc) and it only showed a backup from 1970. Turns out that after installing Whatsapp, it didn't ask for the necessary permissions, so after installing but before logging in the app, you had to go to Settings and give the necessay permissions manually.

[XDA Assist] kchatterjeee:
Hi all,

I am a regular lurker on this forum. Currently I own a Samsung Galaxy Note GT N7000. It is running Android 5.1 thanks to the efforts by Bauner and team.

As this phone is old I was forced to purchase a Samsung Galaxy On7. Reason I needed a faster daily driver. At the same budget was tight. This phone is otherwise OK. With its 3000 mah battery I get very reasonable backup. My only crib is it comes with only 1.5 gb RAM and 8gb internal storage,

While upgrading my N7000 due to the requirement of Android 5.1 I had increased the RAM of my phone to 6GB. So now I have no problems with installing apps. But I feel shortly I will face this problem on the new phone. Last time I did it using a .pit file supplied by some good samaritan on the nightowl thread & ODIN. My query is is there a similar file available for the On7?

I am not technically capable of writting a .pit file. Can some of you please help me with a .pit file so that I can optimize the phone.

Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Thanx

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aldolino:
So I had MHL working perfectly for nearly a year. Im on Android 5.1.1

Suddenly I plugged it in as usual and nothing happened. I thought it was the MHL cable so bought another. Same thing.

I started having a look around and in Smart Connect > TV > MHL I noticed under 'launch app' it said 'MISSING: com.sonyericsson.tvlauncher'

I searched and searched and searched online but could not find where to download this app. Only thing I found was http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z1/themes-apps/sony-tv-launcher-time-tv-t2871060 and well...I just installed the apk's from that link. It still didnt work, but now under launch app it said MISSING: something else. To be honest I can't remember exactly what, but it was longer than the previous.

At this point I was getting pretty pissed off so didnt try anything again until I just went online to Sony Support and they advised to go to Apps > All > Smart Connect and press Clear Data.

I just did that and now.....under Smart Connect there is no more TV shown, nothing happens when I plug in the MHL. TV Launcher seems to be installed correctly now...but yea still nothing happens.

Next step I was advised was to connect to my computer and run 'Repair Experia device' which I will do as soon as my phone is 80% charged.

Anyone have an idea about whats happened, and what to do to fix??

Only thing I can think is every few days Im having to move stuff over from phone memory to sd card, and always select everything to move...pics..vids...apps...maybe it moved the tvlauncher app or something? Although last week it did say there was an error and it was unable to move 1 app...I didnt think much of it...

LOL! 6 hours SoT is great, if you could hit 7 hours that's excellent.

Those who achieve 9 hours do quite a lot of things. They set everything to blackish/darker background, they undervolt the CPU and probably GPU too, then there are other battery friendly Xposed modules are being used, like Amplify, Greenify, Power Nap etc. If you want to do those many things, then go on. I absolutely have no time, and more importantly no interest in wasting hours to achieve an hour or so extra.

You are on KitKat by the way, I have never managed to get any more than 5 hours SoT on KK, have hit 6 hours on LP thogh, quite a lot of times, and even hit 7 hours few months ago, I don't even check how much SoT I am getting as an average now.

Maybe because you're in a zone where reception isn't great? Poor signal is a huge culprit for battery life. Or probably you use 3G/LTE more than you use Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi sucks battery much less than 3G.
