[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flapjack:
Hopefully someone can help. There was an update on Google Play today for the Chainfire SuperSU. I ran the update, clicked the message that I needed to update the binary, chose TWRP (I'm on 2.8.7.0), and the phone rebooted. After booting, it went into recovery, tried to run something (I wish I had written it down), and rebooted again. It did this again and again, looping about 10 times before I finally held the power button. At that point, the phone tried to boot normally, but never went past the boot animation (waited about 30 minutes).

I can still get into recovery, luckily... I just don't know what I should do at this point. I am running the stock MM, just debloated.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andry23jsv:
From which SuperSU version did you run the update?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
Before you do anything else, try wiping cache and dalvik from TWRP. Sometimes you get lucky and that's all it takes to stop a bootloop.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flapjack:
I was able to fix the issue by booting into recovery, copying the latest supersu zip to internal storage via MTP, and installing the zip manually. Once that was done, the phone finally booted all the way.

The update was from the newest one in the store. It came up just like any other app update does. The funny thing is, when I went back to look at the latest version in Play, it was definitely older. I wonder if it was pulled.

I had tried all that. It's usually the first thing I do when I have issues like that.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woshinoob:
Hey, i am using a note 4 . Currently my phone is in recovery mode and is boot looping. It would boot for 2 secs then reboot again. i cant exit the recovery mode at all the clear any cache or stuff. I may have misclicked the normal boot and clicked the TWRP after updating supersu. Is there a fix for it?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flapjack:
Did you try manually copying the latest SuperSU zip file to your internal storage (via MTP, or adb), then installing it from recovery?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woshinoob:
hi the problem is that i cant get pass the recovery mode. its there for about 2 secs then gone
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flapjack:
I guess I'm not sure what you mean. You can't get "past" recovery mode? When you reboot (without button intervention), what happens? Does it try to load the OS partition, then reboot? Can you press whatever button combo the Note 4 has to get into recovery (as opposed to booting the phone normally?

Not sure how much help I can be, as I've never had a Note. I got off the Samsung train after the S4. I've had enough of locked bootloaders, bloatware, and crappy UIs. It's a shame, too.... as I really like their hardware.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woshinoob:
Hey man tks for replying so promptly though. I think i know what went wrong. Just that i don't know how to fix it. My phone is now recovery booting through TWRP. But i don't remember having TWRP. Is there a way to change the boot to normal?

Woah. I missed this entirely. That's pretty cool. I have a dock, so I would definitely try it out, especially if we could dualboot it. [MENTION=360586]hmsq[/MENTION] posted the video for those interested, though I didn't hear any mention of the G4 in there.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] davekleiman:
When I place a call, at 10 seconds the phone backlight turns-off, and at 15 seconds the "power-off" occurs (like when you touch the power button and the screen blanks, not actually powering down the phone). At first, it seemed like a minor annoyance, but I realize now it is a problem, because when I touch the power button to bring the screen on, the start menu and some menu and touch features are locked. You have to wait until the call is over, and even then, you must touch power button off, then on to unlock the start menu and other features. It does not matter if you use the touch screen or hard buttons.

I have adjusted the backlight and power off features all the way to completely off, both during and not during a call, it still occurs.

I have been told by the company I purchased the TyTN II from that this is a known problem?? If so, is there a solution?

Respectfully,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] davekleiman:
Thanks!! That was quick.

I wonder since I am reporting about the start menu and such being locked/non-operational when I bring the phone "back on" during a call, if there might be an additional problem with the phone. I see no mention of that issue in the other thread.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jason Lee:
To fix the start menu/screen lock problem simply disable your lock pasword. It is a bug with the device. If you must have the password you will just have to deal with the problem until there is a rom update. :(
[Samsung Gear S2] cellcrazy:
I have a Nexus 6p and I'm trying to apply a personal photo to the stock digital watchface (installed on watch by default). It doesn't seem to apply the photo.

This worked perfectly on my note 4 (I understand that it was a samsung phone), but i know when you pick your own photo it supposed to take you to a screen where you can crop and adjust how the photo will appear in the watchface. However that edit screen is not even loading up...just wondering if anyone on the board was having this issue or is there something i'm supposed to do on my Nexus to allow this feature to work. I would really love to apply my own photo to the digital watchface again.

Thanks all

[Samsung Gear S2] timshields:
I have the same problem :( I can only assume it's something to do with the google photos app
[Samsung Gear S2] timshields:
I have a solution! As expected, the Google photos app was the problem. I tried downloading various others with no joy, until I tried Gallery Pro: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.badpigsoftware.advanced.gallery

If you select this app when choosing your image, the crop image page comes up and you can select the image you want :)

Hope this helps

Yep that did that trick...Thanks so much for the help.
[Remix OS for PC] whise1:
Hi,

Every app I install from google play are set in phone mode. It would be great if there is a way to install tablet versions of the apps.

For example in Chrome (installed from google play) I dont get the tablet interface with multiple tabs etc. In gmail I dont get the interface with the side panel.

Is there a way to force these apps to show the tablet versions or force google play to only let you install tablet versions of apps?.

Tkx
[Remix OS for PC] freelancer81:
hmmm...enable the developer mode and extra developer mode by tapping on the build no (?)

Just go to Settings > About and tap like crazy on those infos. It will unlock the dev and extra dev settings.

Then, there is an option somewhere to enable or disable phone mode for apps.

good luck.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cst79:
Hi,

I was very surprised to find not one, but two S7 Edge phones available to play with at my local (albeit the biggest in my country) electronics store.

So I took a couple of store shots with the camera, if anyone is interested. Pictures are attached to this post. To me they look pretty good. Noise is very well controlled. Auto-focus was incredibly fast, I wish my Canon EOS M2 would be as fast as the Samsung.

I played with the edge camera at the Best Buy today and was very impressed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] darkphantom:
I feel the best thing is that this thing is basically waterproof (30mins up to 5ft) which will result in some amazing underwater pics and videos!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ozaghloul:
I have a very strong feeling that the lens is covered with the protective plastic. Its very easy to miss when peeling the phone. The pictures will look much better without it. Otherwise, I'm not really impressed with the pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Toss3:
Probably not plastic that is covering the lens, but just good old regular fingerprints. Had similar issues when playing with the phones in the store, but after a good cleaning the pics were much better.

They are really nice, but what do you mean by Noise?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dimkit:
I am starting to believe that samsung made a huge drop back with the camera. It is a little odd all the user uploaded photos to have plastic cover or fingerprints. Do not try to look for excuses. Do you remember the first photos of galaxy s6 . They were all awesome. I have already pre order the galaxy s7 edge but I am thinking very seriously to cancel it. Also do you remember how fast we had camera comparisons with the s6. Now after so many days why we do not have a decent one. I will wait a few days until I see a s6 vs s7 comparison. But I am pretty sure my s6 camera will be superior.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Derpling:
If sammy "downgraded" the camera that would be idiotic step, they optimized it for all situations especially for low light, but that shouldn't make daylight photos worse in fact, due to large pixels it might be slightly better.

Either they have a bug with software or some of the models shipped with problematic sensors, we will find out between 8-14 March.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Beefheart:
There are already comparisons between the S6 and S7 on here, and the S7 camera is better, and that is before post release updates which will improve it even further.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3321247

Check that thread for a number of comparisons between the S7 and other phones. It's the best of the lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Canard caché:
heu it's what u see you??? Oo

I, i don't see the same on this pics: teddy bear => s6 wins, blurry face = dont' let s6 focus = normal, faces = better light s6, two ladies =>yellow filter in s7, ...

No really it's THE comparison that prove s6 is better...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Beefheart:
If that's what you really believe you clearly have it set in your head despite evidence to the contrary. There might be some situations prior to post-release S7 updates that the S6 takes marginally better photos with both phones in auto mode (bright outdoor scenes for example), but certainly not indoors. However, I have no doubt any issues with auto mode in bright scenes on the S7 will be rectified soon enough.

Stick with the S6 would be my advice.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] geoff5093:
Plastic cover? What plastic cover? The glass of the S6 was a huge fingerprint magnet too, it's the con of using glass. That's why I went with silver, it's not as noticeable

Some photos I took

Here are some photos I took on my S7 Edge.

The dark bathroom photos = Note 5 (auto)

The lighter bathroom photos = S7 (auto)

The two darker ones are the light from under the door only, brighter ones is just the door cracked

The outside photos are from darkest to lightest (auto, manual 10sec shutter lower ISO, manual 10 sec shutter highest ISO)

Pics of my dog in pretty bad lighting, just a side lamp and some light from the window (auto)

Pics of the figures are in pretty good light (auto)

Since XDA compresses them, look here for the uncompressed versions.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaboyd:
I am trying to build a custom ROM for Android that has a built in firewall. In doing this I want to allow my Settings app to block different apps from using mobile data and/or wifi.

My approach so far has been to add new selinux policy rules to allow system level apps to interact with iptables. I have tried multiple different policies, but here is what I currently have.

file_contexts

/system/bin/iptables u:object_r:iptables_exec:s0

system_app.te

type iptables_exec;

allow system_app iptables_exec:file { rx_file_perms };

I didn't define a new "domain" for iptables and I wasn't sure if I needed to declare the system_app domain again, or if this would just be appended to that.

Thanks in advance for any help. If anyone has any pointers on where to look to get a better understanding of SELinux inside of android, please let me know.

Rooted sprint s6 with BOL1_SPR.zip... keeps rebooting after "hands free data manager"

I have a sprint s6, and just loaded G920PVPU3BOL1_G920PSPT3BOL1_SPR firmware on the phone. I then rooted it and got everything working fine.

However, after one reboot, every time I reboot now, I get the "voicemail" icon even though I don't use the local voicemail and that stupid "hands free activation" configuring your device for data and voice...

Shortly afterward, it reboots to TWRP. I tell it to reboot normally again, and it does, and then a short time later, the same thing happens.

How do I fix this and stop this "hands free activation" thing from doing this?

--

Also, the time is completely screwed up. Like 7 hours off. It resets it back to January 1 2016.

I tried moving SprintDM.apk, and it stopped the hands free activation, but the reboots continue shortly after the phone is in the normal operating system.

What is the problem? I keep having this issue with some other ROMs as well. Also, it pops open some visual voicemail thing.

I think it has something to with activating the phone? The phone tries to activate and keeps rebooting, even when in airplane mode. It boots to recovery mode, then when i tell it to reboot normally it does, and the time is back to 1206AM jan 1st.

---

reflashed stock rom and didn't wipe first... the reboot issue is gone away, but it's still trying to activate. I did do "rtn for sprint" the other day when flashing... i don't know if doing that once causes this issue? Does it matter if I had previously done "rtn for sprint" from odin?

---

The first time I flashed, some samsung prompt asked if i want to activate some kind of protection or something in case my phone is ever stolen, for remote wipe, or something. I selected yes. I've never seen that prompt again. Is that possibly what this reboot issue is related to? How do I turn that off?

Good evening , my nexus 5X not light , I'll explain how it went :

while I was normally using the phone at some point reboots , look a few minutes and see that was restarted in continuous loop after which you go into a gray screen that is this :

I hold down the power button and go into recovery , do a factory reset immediately after that restart but nothing , same thing will not start . Now the phone will not turn on anymore, I connected the battery charger but no signs of life no matter if I hold down the power button for several minutes .

Hi guys,

I just got a second hand Wizard, but it seems that the comm manager button is broken and I understand you need that for a hard rest.

I was wondering if I could re-map it so that I could still do a soft reset...I'm planning to CID unlock my Wizard (G3) and install a ROM, but I'm worried that my inability to do a hard reset would cause problems in this process.

Please help with suggestions...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] starkwong:
That button may be hard-coded in IPL, so...should be impossible.

However, it is a G3, so it should not be required to hard reset manually as RUU erases the user area for you automatically.

When you can enter OS successfully, you can always do a hard reset in Control Panel.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xero:
Is it possible to enable simultaneous charging and OTG capabilities? I had used this before on a Nexus 7 so I could feed realtime vehicle data into the tablet for digital gauges without running the battery into the ground, and really want to do the same on my 6P.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elnrik:
OK, so I'm confused about what you are trying to do here.

OTG means the phone is the host to another device, and is powering that device. Like an OTG flash drive. If the phone is powering that device... then no, it isn't charging.

If the phone is receiving power and data from the device it is attached to, then that's pretty normal. It's like plugging it into a PC, right?

To my knowledge, Y splitters are strictly prohibited for Type-C devices, so you cannot add a 3rd device into this scenario. As such, if the phone has to power the device attached to it, and therefore it isn't receiving power from that device, then there is no way to simultaneously charge the phone.

The only scenario I can think of which would fit your description would be this: You connect your Nexus 6p to a USB device which is powered by an alternative source, so that isn't going to draw power from the phone... However, that same device is incapable of providing any power at all to the 6P, yet data is still expected to go between the two devices. If this is in fact the scenario you are describing, then get different equipment, because that manufacturer ignored just about every USB requirement and specification known to man.
