[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriguyRN:
So if I understand this correctly, /data contains my appdata and that apps themselves, while /sdcard contains some extra documents etc. correct? Assuming yes, then I should back/restore up the data partition in TWRP and selectively movie around some folders from my /sdcard backup to my new device. Thank you for the advice and moving my thread.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StykerB:
if you backup /data you'll have all your apps and internal storage files. /sdcard is just a shortcut pointing to /data/media/0 which is where your documents and whatnot are actually stored.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
This is incorrect.

A TWRP backup of /data *does NOT* backup your internal storage. That's the reason that there's a different option.

Same way that if you wipe /data it doesn't erase your sdcard (internal storage, we don't have sdcards).

You are correct though, /data/media/0 is *technically* where the internal storage is located. However a /data backup will not back this up as it traditionally skips the /data/media directory completely to prevent crazy issues on devices without a true sdcard.

Think about it.

You have 32gb of device storage. Let's say you have a ton of music, movies, documents and such on your internal storage/sdcard totaling 15-20gb. Even with a full /system, /data, /boot backup... it averages about 3-5gb. There's no way that it's getting that level of compression and backing up the 15-20 gb of stored files you have.

On top of that, it would have to include the backed up backup in the backup since it was also on internal storage, casuing a cycle that would simply fill up the device before failing due to a lack of free space.

Realistically, the only way to backup the internal storage is by using a usb-otg device as the target. Or by manally copying everything from there off to a computer.

I was bored and made a simple app. I sent it to a friend and after some feedback from him, I kept working on it. I figured I may as well let whoever wants to, test/use it.

So please help me test this app I made – Compact Media Control. :)

It basically consists of a simple overlay with the following functions:–

· previous, pause/play, next

· launch/switch current media app

You get the overlay to show up by shaking your device side to side firmly but briefly (I am constantly fiddling with the sensitivity and required duration of the shaking).

App drawer

Tapping the app icon in the drawer will pop up a small dialog asking you which app you want the overlay to control.

Prev (left arrow)

Single tap → same as pressing the back key in Spotify/GPM or inline controls or BT headset

Long press → make the overlay launch on the left side of the screen from now

Next (right arrow)

Single tap → same as pressing the next key in Spotify/GPM or inline controls or BT headset

Long press → make the overlay launch on the right side of the screen from now

Play button

Single tap → same as pressing the play/pause key in Spotify/GPM or inline controls or BT headset

Long press → launch currently selected media app (Spotify/GPM)

Swipe from icon → select media app

Getting the overlay to show

Shaking the device side to side with the screen unlocked will cause the overlay to show up on one side of the screen. Using the overlay to launch a media app or switch sides the overlay appears on will immediately make it disappear. In any other case, the overlay will disappear on its own after 7 seconds of not interacting with the overlay.

Please let me know what you think, if you decide to try it :)

I especially want to know if you think if it is utter ****, so I know to stop working on it.

Thank you!

* I only have a Nexus 6P and OnePlus One to test on, so I am hoping others can help to test on their devices, as well as provide feedback on the functionality of the app :)

changelog:–

29 December 2015 – v1.26

· very minor graphical tweaks for more consistency across different elements

28 December 2015 – v1.25

· added function to swipe from middle (play) button to pick media app

27 December 2015 – v1.2

· new app icon and overlay design

· removed redundant volume up and down buttons – the hardware keys should be in reach anyway (please provide feedback on this!)

· added swipe feature to play button, to dismiss the overlay

27 December 2015 – v1.1

· No longer monitors touchscreen, uses timers on buttons instead. Side-benefit over previous method is that the 7 second timer to automatically disappear only refreshes when you interact with the overlay (previously, tapping anywhere on the screen will reset the 7-second timer).

I wanted to use on my Android based car head unit CarJoying JY-UQ130. Before using there I tried it on my Sony Z3 Compact and it didn't work. Only shows overlay allowing to choose left or right side and then nothing.

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

Oh, sorry. My bad, I didn't shake the phone. It works. :) However, shaking won't be possible on the head unit. Could you add some screen input based way to have overlay appear or possibly some manual way via status bar? The reason why I want to use something like this is to be able change track while using navigation app.

It seems that your site is using CDN services from Google.

It would be nice,but there is a serious problem:

Not all countries in the world are Google-friendly.

There is a certain Asian country which name starts with a "C" banished Google from its national Intranet.

And I live in that particular country,

so when I enter "xdaforums.com",most of time I have to wait long,and just got a error page.

I am using a VPN to access this site,and I don't think it will survive long.

Maybe you can store those common scripts on your own server instead of borrowing from Google.

Hi, I had att Samsung s6 four months. I Odin 5.1.1 att rom on it, because I use phone on cricket wireless, can't get OTA. Two weeks ago, "gpsd" and "android os" were found draining battery in the background. I did a lot research online, but no much help. We know the problems, but can't fix it out. Finally, I found out who did the problem. It is "IQ agent service" run under "android system" in the background. I can stop it on setting-active app. But it will back after I make a phone call. I can do nothing without rooting my phone. Could someone give any idea. Thank you.

Google Messenger is the stock aosp messaging app.....
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Locklear308:
That is Messenger. Not Messaging. Just like Chrome replaces Browser from AOSP.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Locklear308:
What? Google Messenger was not originally part of AOSP. It was like chrome replacing browser. If you get a non google android device it has Messaging, not messenger. Messaging is from AOSP. Other wise what would a non google android device have? No SMS capabilities?

Are you sure you're not thinking about Nexus devices?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WelcomeToTheSkye:

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WelcomeToTheSkye:
No I just pick attitude with people who start stuff with me and tbh as far as I knew AOSP used Google messenger but that's because in every AOSP based rom I ever used Google Messenger was put on there by stock. Also no I don't do this all over XDA I only ever posted in the Moto X Pure page I do not even do this on other threads in the Moto x pure page. I said one thing on TruPureX and you called me lazy and disrespectful toward the Dev and I got annoyed at you and the funny thing was I actually was right..... I did not get aggro over something that I was wrong about clearly here I was wrong however on the TruPureX thread all I did was suggest something. I suggested something to the Dev and you called me disrespectful and lazy even though I'm constantly on that thread helping others. I got aggro at you and I came here and bursted on this thread too because I was fed up with everyone and I thought I was right even though here I was wrong. On the TruPureX thread making a suggestion does not make you wrong. Making a suggestion does not make you lazy. Making a suggestion does not make you disrespectful. So stop stop attacking me and just leave me alone.

Give this a shot, my favorite messenger due to the locking of certain messages and also searching your messages. It does stop working, to fix just make another messaging app the default and then switch back to this one as default. I'm hoping some dev can update it and get it working for android 6+.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] KruseLudsMobile:
There used to be secret dial codes that would bring up many useful utility menus on Android phones. What are they for the Verizon Note 5 ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] toskabab:
If you download "phone info samsung" from the playstore it shows a list of secret codes in the menu. I never tried any out to see if they work. Also if you are in the vicinity of a Verizon store you can dial #8378 and it will pull up a menu with a battery of diagnostic tests.

I'm sure that jasonjoel guy is gonna come up in here again saying "Well he's not in the vicinity of a Verizon store and he doesn't like downloading apps, so your advice doesn't apply!" for a third time.

Not sure what you meant by that addition to your post, but I'll try both - thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] KruseLudsMobile:
I checked and there is an app from vndnguyen for Samsung phones (called Phone Info). Is that the one you mean? It does not have that dial code information in the menu...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] :
According to the developer and this post you need root to enable the menu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] KruseLudsMobile:
My phone is not rooted and I'd just like to know what the freaking codes are. Thanks for your efforts in helping but isn't there just a list somewhere?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] JasonJoel:
Lol. Not this time, you answered his question, and gave him more. Nothing wrong with that!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] KruseLudsMobile:
Ok so how about answering my question so I can get a simple list without having to root just to see a list? I don't get your inside joke, I just want to know the answer LOL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] JasonJoel:
I've tried a lot of codes, and none have worked. So, sorry, but I can't help you.

Verizon tinkers with code access. Some codes that work fine on other variants do not work on the Verizon one...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] toskabab:
Yes, that's the one I'm talking about. The menu opens up for me. Don't know what you guys are talking about. Maybe you need to have root for the codes to work. Like I said, I haven't tried any of them as I have never had any need.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] KruseLudsMobile:
Yes we discussed that you needed to have root and I don't and was wondering how to get them without root
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] JasonJoel:
It is annoying when people with other phone variants post on the Verizon boards, because miscommunication like this happens.

As the Verizon variant isn't rootable, posting solutions that require root isn't going to help anyone here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] xxjomamaxx:
Right? Super annoying. Anyway. OP, download "phone info" from the play store then open the menu and select secret codes. It will then crawl your phone for available codes. You don't have to have root in order to just view the list of codes, after it searches the list of codes will be displayed.

On a side note, there is a setting in the phone (hidden_menu) that basically either allows or denies access to service modes and settings from dialer codes and Verizon sets it to deny.

If we had root for the N920V we could use a file manager with root access and easily change the hidden_menu setting, after which all dialer codes and access to service modes would work again.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taiguy:
So I'm rooted on 6.0.1 and in the past few weeks I've noticed that while using Google Maps Navigation, the GPS cursor will freeze in location and not update even though I've physically moved far far away. It's been a pretty frustrating problem as I haven't been able to find a smoking gun just yet.

It seems to occur 4-5 minutes after I start navigation. Not sure if it's tied to navigation or there's something else that's occurring in the background that's causing the issue. I downloaded (and bought the pro version) of GPS Status Toolbox to see what was happening. When the error occurs, I lose GPS signal and it will take anywhere from 4-12 minutes to get the next GPS lock (which doesn't stick). It effectively breaks all apps that would use the GPS.

Here's a screenshot of the GPS Status Toolbox with 20 satellites acquired but still no fix on position - and this is after it's been trying to find a position for several minutes.

I've tried clearing the cache with no improvement. I've tried deleting the google maps app data which allowed it to work again for a few minutes before freezing up again.

I've looked at the app permissions for location but nothing has jumped out at me as something that would create an issue.

I thought maybe there was some hardware interference in my car but my girlfriend's S5's GPS works perfectly while mine is floundering.

Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this? I tried booting into safe mode and the GPS seemed to work fine for the 10 minutes I was using it. Also I had used it for a month prior (before the 6.0.1 update) and the GPS worked just fine - so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
