[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christianbeccy:
I'm in the UK and have a UK Galaxy S6 Edge running G925FXXU3COI9, stock/unrooted.

It's got a location problem. Firstly, I have the 'My Places' widget set up, but made the mistake a few months ago of changing my 'Home' location whilst I was on holiday. Now I can't get it to let go of that alternative location. I've tried setting it as the current location (my actual home) many many times, but it always goes back to the Orlando address. I've tried resetting the 'My Places' app, removing Data/Cache, but nothing has worked so far. The workaround is to set it to use 'Wifi' as the determining factor, but even then, after a short while it reinstates the 'Map' method and adds the Orlando address.

Also, I've recently moved Work locations. I set my new Work address in my Google Account 'Places', a few days ago and it shows correctly there, but my phone still thinks I work in the old location. If I go into the 'Maps' app, the blue pointer thinks I'm in the old location, if I rotate the phone, the arrow rotates, but nothing I do makes it see where I actually am. Again, I've removed Data/Cache and its still the same.

I just voice prompted Google Now with 'Where am I'. It gave me my old work address where I haven't been for over a week. I also removed all the Google Now card preferences and that made no difference.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christianbeccy:
So, I went into Google Maps at the weekend, my phone could see that I was at home. I've made the journey to work this morning and my phone currently thinks I am at my old place of work, which is about 6 miles from here.

How can it be so?!
[General Questions and Answers] m180l:
Hi,i'm a new member who use shw-m180l.

my tablet had really bad memory(444mb) so could't run any apps properly.

so I was about to install jellybean rom with odin.

I installed the usb driver about twice.

I run the odin and I open the file JB_SHW-M180L_Release_2.tar that made from some korean user.That custom rom was tested.

But I didn't know that I must check the usb tethering to install the android firmware.

So of course I got fail message from odin.

After that, My tablet had error "update not completed!".

this screenshot is from other blogger, but the error is probably same.

I tried samsung kies but my pc can't recognize tablet.

*the tablet can boot when I recharge. But it had that error again and again.

Please answer to fix this error!!

Fixed my problem now...sorry to have bothered anyone :)

Please ignore this thread.

____________________________________________________________

I was previously rooted and running 5.0.2 so I decided to try one of the CM rom's out. I ran into a little difficulty and now I am suck on the Samnsung logo on boot, holding down the power button does nothing and I tried holding volume up + home + power and it wont respond.

Have I unintentionally bricked my phone? Is there a solution to this? I'm going to be majorly gutted if I have just ruined my phone so if anyone has any suggestions please help :(

Thanks.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pSych@t!c:
Hey guys,so heres the problem...recently i had to use the LG Support Tool and prior to this i was v50020d. When the tool had finished restoring the stock ROM,it upgraded me to v50020f. So i went and successfully rooted it with KingoRoot surprisingly enough with no trouble at all. I then tried to install TWRP Recovery,through the TWRP app,Flashify,Rashr and i even tried Fastboot and ADB which im led to believe don't work with the v500 but i still tried it and had absolutely no success at all in installing TWRP. I have tried flashing every version of TWRP from 2.8.7.1 back to 2.6.3.0 i think using all those apps mentioned above. So i came on here to XDA to see could i find any solution to my problem but no luck either but i did find a post where a script was used,edited and apparently worked. I downloaded the zip file that was used in this process,edited the runme.bat file by changing the last letter of the build to f which would correspond to my build which is v50020f. I saved the edited file and then ran the script which when finished told me that recovery had been installed so i rebooted the G Pad,it started up,the blue teamwin screen came up and then it just hung there for hours! Thats was it nothing more. No recovery installed. So then i went and used Flashify & flashed `twrp-2.8.7.1-v500.img´ and when i rebooted i got 'secure booting error,cause:device unlock:so boot success!!' rebooted the G Pad again and the same thing happened blue teamwun screen loads and then nothing,no recovery. So i flashed the same recovery image with TWRP Recovery app and when it was finished i got the message 'Success!! Flashing recovery was successful,would you like to attempt rebooting into recovery? so i did and again the same thing happened. Teamwin blue screen and nothing more. When i check TWRP Recovery app afterwards it tells me that there is no recovery installed or it us not recognised. Can anybody please,please,please find a solution to my problem? Oh yeah,i even tried booting into recovey by using the power and volume up and down trick too and got the same result. Thank you so much guys...hope you can help.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I think I've seen that in order to install TWRP on the V500 is similar to how on my VK810 variant, at least the part that requires downgrading your bootloader. If it's like the VK810, it has to be the bootloader from 4.2.2. I'm sure there's TWRP threads in these sections, specifically for the V500 that give the details and files.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmytutone:
I'd love to know a way too. I just rooted which went great, but I have the V50020f and don't want to do another thing until I see what happens in this thread. After years of flashing and rooting I finally hard bricked my Lenovo Yoga 10 and this is my replacement tablet, so I don't want to chance it at all. Until I read a concrete solution for this build I'm staying where I am.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cluey:
That wall of text is really hard to read [MENTION=7118744]pSych@t!c[/MENTION], when I first saw it I was too tired to try and decipher it so ignored it. Now I've had another look.

Have you tried downgrading to an older firmware which people have had success with?

I had trouble when I first got this tablet but kept reading the forum and found a method to downgrade, it isn't pretty but eventually it worked. As I'm new to this device I'm not overly familiar with the different official firmware versions so I'm not exactly sure what you've got.

My tablet was more complicated as the LG tool put the Chinese, no Google apps, version on for me as that is where it was bought. So I had to downgrade so I could get apps from the Play Store to flash my recovery!

So patience and research will reward you.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fourty8:
I know it didn't work for the OP, but coming from bone stock v50020f, I successfully rooted using ioroot25r1, updated Supersu through playstore, then using flashify i installed TWRP 2.8.7.1 (newest I think). Once booted into TWRP recovery, I wiped cache, data, and system, and then installed AOSP Marshmallow. All went smooth as silk, no problems at all. Now I can finally stop being jealous of my wifes Nexus 7!! :) Hope this helps some.

[MX Player] wdw89:
Hi

When I use VLC player via MHL/HDMI cable connect to second monitor, I can use VLC as a remote controller, and VLC will dim the phone's screen after touching nothing in seconds. I like this behavior, and VLC also has an option to turn it off. I think MX player should also implement this feature. At least make MX player dim the phone's screen after touching nothing in seconds.
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
Sounds like casting, which is already in the pipes.
[MX Player] ninestarkoko:
reviving this old thread.

During MHL/HDMI connection MX player now dims the screen, but the content keeps playing on the phone, probably using more cpu power than needed (resources that could be used for the playback).

Instead, VLC plays the content on the HDMI screen and the phone's screen shows only the play controls without showing the video itself.

(Like seen here https://www.piloteers.org/forums/11...s-movies-using-old-android-phone-via-mhl.html).

Not sure if this happens also for the new Displayport technology (USB-C to HDMI) found on high end devices nowadays.

Maybe this could be fixed so no resources are wasted to play the content both on the device display and the HDMI screen, and the full CPU/GPU power can be used for demanding file playback.
[MX Player] MXPlayer:
It seems that you have misunderstood the concept. Most of the system resource will be used for the decoding purpose. When you using the device with MHL, the device will still decode everything. The only difference is that when you use the mobile as remote, the connected screen is considered as a remote display and the video frame is rendered on the remote display instead of the device display. In simple words, still decoding and rendering are done by the device. So, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference in resource usage.

This is where casting comes into play. On Chromecast, The device will just act as a file server. The rest will be done by the receiver. On the downside, the chromecast doesn't support several video profiles. So, you may not be able to cast even if your mobile supports decoding of the same.

Anyway, will highlight your feedback with our team for further improvements in this aspect.
[MX Player] ninestarkoko:
You misunderstood me. I do know that the phone's hardware decodes the file and transmits the signal via microUSB-HDMI (MHL). The problem is that playing the video also on the phone's screen MIGHT reduce the overall performances of the decoding.

If you are sure that there's not difference in playing the video BOTH on the phone's screen and the HDMI connected screen VS playing video ONLY on the HDMI screen (like VideoLanPLayer does, as shown here https://www.piloteers.org/forums/at...-phone-via-mhl-120160219_162058-1024x576-.jpg), then i'm satisfied.

Hope the question is more precise now. :)
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aForcefulThrust:
Okay so I rooted and installed apex launcher, and have google services with hangouts/gmail working. When I try to make a gmail widget on my screen it brings me to the settings page, and then the widget is gone.

I tried making apex launcher a system app by putting it's apk file in the /system/app folder that also did not work.

Is there a way to get widgets working?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kramalot:
Can't speak for apex but have no trouble with widgets using either now Launcher or Nova on my wifes, rooted with play services and store (and never registered with Amazon). Initially with now Launcher had to wait for play services update before it worked. Can't remember if I did anything else to get it working but I recall that I originally had the same problem.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverPony2001:
I used Nova and made it a system app, and widgets work. I used this app /system/app mover from F-Droid: http://click.xda-developers.com/api...f-droid.org/repository/brows...systemappmover That I found from another thread on here.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killerhippy:
I was successful on creating widgets for those apps that I'd made system apps. There are apps at google market which can do so.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
I tried both Nova and Apex and converting to system app didn't do it. (So maybe build version matters. I'm running November 12.) Anyway, you may need to install Apex in /system/priv-app (recommended by [MENTION=2940790]martinml[/MENTION] and others). First make sure perms on the apk in /system/app are rw- r-- r-- (chmod 644) and reboot. If still no widgets, move to priv-app (confirm perms, reboot).

(Or, as mentioned here and by [MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION] in several posts, widgets work with Google Now without conversion.)
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QUEW1134:
Widgets working in Google Now Launcher if you are willing to switch.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aForcefulThrust:
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I never did get widgets working on the stock rom but i never tried google launcher.. I'm on CM12.1 and never going back. It just works great and widgets work too.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empathyislost:
/system/app mover from the Play Store worked perfectly, moving Nova launcher as a system app (running rooted 5.1.1)

Now I have widgets! Thanks!
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedawg03:
thank you that did the trick... i was just going to give up and not worry about widgets. had the problem with trying to put widgets and all it did was take me to the settings menu.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezar:
So do you just install Nova from the play store then convert it to a system app while leaving Fire OS alone to get widgets to work ? I tried Super tool which deletes Fire OS and installs Nova as a system app automatically, but widgets do not work that way.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolRath217:
I did the same thing and was able to move Nova over to system apps with the /system/app mover without any trouble even with the Fire launcher having been deleted.

Please help!

I tried the /system/app mover from F-Droid as mentioned above by SilverPony2001 in an attempt to change my Apex Launcher from user/app to system/app. I rebooted and now my tablet screen only comes on and off for a few seconds as if I was pressing the lock button over and over.

I Have Micromax Canvas AQ4501 (4GB)

Ive Tried All Possible Ways My Phone Not Booting Up:crying:

I Cant Even Start My Phone So No Question Of Booting In FastBoot Mode & Flashing A Rom,

its Good As Dead…!

Power Button Is OK As Was Flashing A Sprout 8GB Version Rom Unknowingly (Afterwards I Realised And Regretted)

I'm Out Of Warranty 1 Month Before (1year+1Month Passed)

I Tried Every Option & Combination On Sp Flash Tool Tried Manual Format Yesterday

But Of No Use…!

1) Tried "Download Only"

2) Gone To Format Section "Format Everything Except Bootloader" Then "Download Only"

3) Formated all + Download

ALL THESE SAYS DOWNLOAD SUCCESSFUL AND THAT "RIGHT" Popups

Now,

4) Tried Firmware Upgrade (After Going To Format Tab And Format All Except Bootloader)

A Strange ERROR Pops Up "PMT Info"

I Researched That ERROR "PMT Info"

Its When Partition Value Storer File Has Been Altered By Chanhe In Partition Value

So The Solution Online Was Given To "Format All" -> Download Only Preloader -> Then Flash All The Files

So… In The End I Know

1)My Preloader Is Currupt

2)Power Button Is As Good As On A New Device

3)i Dont Have Knowledge About How To I Format "Preloader" By Manual Format Option In The Sp Flash Tool, To Remove That Currupt Preloader From The Phone And Insert A New One Using Sp Flash Tool

I Think Formatting My Phone With Sprout 8GB Version Scatter File Will Solve My Problem…

THANK YOU If You Guys Read so Far… Now You Know What I Know, And what I Dont Know So… Waiting Eagerly For Your Guys Reply!

Please Help Me Get Out Of This Situation!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Shifter2711:
Hello , I'm new here and I have huge problem.

First of all I was surfing xda forums and other threads for solution but I couldn't find any.

I have LG Optimus P880 and my sensors ( G-sensor, accelerometer, compass ) are not working.

First of all I thought it was a hardware issue until one day it started working and I was suprised "What the hell did I do?"

My past with a phone. I'm 100% sure it all worked on v20d firmware and I decided to update it to custom ROM. I've tried Euphoria lolipop ROM 5.1.X ( I think or 5.0.x ) and it was laggy and buggy but UI was awesome so I stick to it few days. Days after I heard Vanir offers same thing but much much faster, so I flash it with CWM and I had problems with gapps but managed to get it working. And I found problem within default camera app, it stuck in horizontal mode so when ever I take picture I have to rotate it in gallery. I was pissed so I reflashed it to official v20a kdz and realized I have sensors issues. I tried many many apps on Playstore but none of them helped. Next morning after anwsering my moms message my screen rotation started to work. So I factory reset it to make it work but again failed. Now it doesnt work at all, apps can recognize them such as cpuz and sensor box and I can see them but not working.

I did reflashed it with v20a,b,d and v10h,d. No solution. In my luck my mother uses the same phone with working sensors and everything ( she is on v10h version )

Did factory reset, soft reset, deleted cache and everything that I found on this forum.

Is there any solution? Maybe somehow transfer mom's firmware to my phone ir aomething like that?

PS: on cpuz my non-working sensors all starts with MPL ( or MLP not sure anymore ) but my working sensors ( proximity,gps has names next to it )

I'm using Debian at home all day and wouldn't use anything else :D

Well is it possible to use functions on the phone (like Dialing Numbers / contacts / whatsapp) via debian?

Then I would install it on my Z2. I mean it got 3GB of RAM (more then Debian needs to run) and yeah ^^

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kazzko:
As we all know, Android Marshmallow will surely be on our great device, the Note 4. Leaked news say that Note 4 users will start receiving the update in February. Galaxy S6 and its brother Edge will be getting it on January, while the Note 5 and S6 Edge Plus will get it this December. According to these news, the new update will have a new TouchWiz. You can see that it is flat and more Material Design. As we all heard (or some of us), that Google is helping Samsung to create a new TouchWiz that will be so light and so materialistic, which as we can see in the link that it is really more beautiful and looks neater than the older versions. Now, will this new TouchWiz be on our Note 4? I believe it will. I know that the TouchWiz on the Note 5 isn't there for Note 4, but I believe Samsung did that to boost the sales of their Note 5 as it got a lot of bad reviews. Now that a lot of people have bought the Note 5, I think we will get this new TouchWiz along the update Android Marshmallow, or Samsung might even decide to keep their boost for the Note 5 and S7, and release the new TouchWiz for the Note 4 in Android 6.1 (maybe?).

What do you think?
