[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] globalsearch:
I'm of a mind to ask "why root?" What little you gain seems unbalanced to potential issues you create. I am a power user of this tablet and while there are some minor benefits to rooting (minor enough not to bother), the first consideration out the gate, even before getting it is 'whatcha gonna do with it?" You little list of things you want to do is no problem for this tablet "as is". I would be primarily concerened about getting a clean bright display, no dead pixels, excellen response to touch and pen, reliably long battery life.

Its like buying a sports car. You want to play mechaninc and endlessly tweak it or you want to get out there and drive? I am primarily driver oriented. Yes, if down the road you want to play mechanic, you can. But in the mean time, don't waste time on time consuming operations that will not help with the driving experience that much.

Its all about priorities. LIfe is short.

HELP ME!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] d4rknight07:
Hello everyone!

Need some help, I'm totally new to android hacking stuff and think messed up my phone, it's sure an old one but I loved it so much I don't want it to die.

So here's the point, yesterday I rooted it, worked fine, after that I unlocked the bootloader, always fine, but the problems began when I tried installing a custom recovery, didn't find a suitable one for the phone so I found RecoverX, and installed the CWM-Based Recovery 5.0.2.7 (ICS), after it done installing the phone was never able to boot anymore, I got stuck on a bootloop so I was searching for the original firmware, I found one and it worked after that, except the touchscreen was not working, so after reading some threads I realised that I installed a firmware who's not made for my phone version. Then I tried flashtool again and installed the built-in version or don't know what it is just for seing if it was able to restore the firmware since it said "X10". After that the phone turned off and wasn't able to boot anymore, the power button doesn't respond, no vibration, no backlight, no LED, and it isn't detected but the computer anymore, I tried flash mode and all other thing but nothing.

Is it dead? Can't I repair it anymore? Based on some reasearch I think it's hard bricked but can't find a solution.

Please help. Can I repair it by myself by doing some testpoint stuff or I don't know, I'm just too new about this, I just began yesterday.

PS: sorry for my bad english.

Thanks for you answer.

try dirty flashing your rom again. otherwise start again.

what data are you worried about losing?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masaforce:
Anything man, anything. Ive worked my ass off on that phone. What do i lose on

Re flashing my rom? Whats the difference between dirty and no dirty? But people talk about reflashing their rom like it woild be death lol, isnt it the same as updating??
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masaforce:
Like all my xposed modules, my root apps, my hacking apps, my modded ui! Ive made everything perfect on that phone. I cant lose those. Thats my 5month everyday work man. Yeah. And the most important, MY CRASH BANDICOOT MIND OVER MUTANT GAME DATA XDDDDD. But if i update my rom, wouldt it do the trick too?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Dirty flash means that you don't wipe any of your partitions, so your flashing over current image. As long as the new file your flashing doesn't have a script which clears any partions your data and all that wil be fine. But at the same time it might not resolve your issue with the bootloops your getting.

You could use your custom recovery to extract your data.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masaforce:
What do u mean? Like back it up?

And so now ill reflash my rom?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masaforce:
But technically i dont lose anything if i dirty reflash?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Yes, you shouldn't technically lose anything.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masaforce:
What do u want?? What can i give u.. It works lost all settings and u know but IT WORKS AND NO DATA LOSS ! Ik that i should try to reflash, but thank u so much!!! Now i gona spend the week setting it up lol! THANK U MANNNNNN !
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Sorry about the settings, at least you got the data still.

Be careful deleting system stuff. Remember to make regular backups before messing with system stuff.

Also if it's an xposed setting, there is sometimes a flashable zip which can remove the xposed libs so that your system might be recoverable as well
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masaforce:
Yeah xd. never installing app opps again lol! I accidentally or idk disabled my xposed and i have no idea what xposed to download now, it says that u dont have xposed bridge stuff and cant enable anything. Yeah
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Reinstalling the xposed bridge can be done via the app or getting it to create a flashable zip to do via recovery.

Although I don't use it anymore, so may have changed since I last did
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masaforce:
Yeah but it gives me no optien to reinstall but ill figure it out thanks dude have a good weekend!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madtork:
I have over 48k SMS/MMS messages as of now that I like to always restore on my phone after I get a new phone or change roms. My questions are, will "too many" cause the phone to run slow or hurt battery life, and whats the best way to restore?

I got my 6p 128gb when it first came out, and have always run the Pure Nexus rom. It was great at first and slowly the battery life got so bad I would go through 3+ full charges a day. Originally I would get 12-24 hours out of it no problem. I'm no expert, but I like to think that I'm pretty knowledgable on what to do and not to do boost battery life, but I've always wondered if having a ton of messages on the phone hurts it.

I flashed the latest version of pure nexus last night for the first time since I got the phone last year when I flashed the pure nexus version of that time, and restored my messages both times.

I've tried a few different apps to restore messages such as Titanium Backup, My Backup, Super Backup, and SMS Backup and Restore which is what I've been using lately.

I've had the best luck with SMS Backup and Restore, but it's slow and it usually hangs up and it takes many attempts to get all the messages restored. This time I got to 47k messages and it keeps hanging up and I can't get the last 1000 to restore. I also tried to restore with Titanium once but it doesn't show the progress, and it seemed like it wasn't restoring, so I gave up.

Sorry to run on so much, but thats my situation. Given this information, what's the best way to prevent these problems, restore my messages, and will too many messages hinder the phone's performance?

Thank you for all the help in advance!

Sincerely,

Dave
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSilas43:
Yes that many SMS will most likely affect your phone related services.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madtork:
What's the best way to manage that then? And where would you draw the line at having to many messages?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
Several apps let you backup SMS/MMS to Gmail, which are then searchable and secure.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSilas43:
If you really NEED those messages do what [MENTION=2529419]kboya[/MENTION] suggested, if you don't really NEED them, delete and try to stay around 1k Max IMO.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Do you have some kind of data to back this up? I constantly have several thousand sms on my device and I've never experienced any problems. Nothing whatsoever.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Honestly, I don't believe your messages are the cause of your issues, take that other reply with a grain of salt because I believe it's anecdotal at best. The best way to restore your messages is with Titanium, it doesn't show progress as you said, and it will take a

very long time

, but if you leave it it will finish.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSilas43:
No data as that would be rather hard to obtain, just the fact that SMS still takes storage , the more you have the more storage is used which can eventually lead to the functions related to those services slowing down. Considering he can get the SMS to continue restoring such a large volume while retrying leads me to believe it is indeed the volume causing the issue.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Not really, because there are only a certain number of messages cached, for that very reason. Like I said, I've had 20,000+ messages consistently and I've never had any issues at all. The problem with the sms backup and restore app is most likely an app problem. The problem he encountered with TB is most likely because he didn't wait long enough for it to finish.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madtork:
I'm going to run TB now while I'm not using the phone and see in the morning. Fingers crossed.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
I'll bet that if you're finding these backup apps hanging/not completing due to doze kicking in. You might try un-optomising it in settings, or selecting stay awake on charge while performing the backup
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madtork:
Thanks kboya! I'll try that tonight.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madtork:
I tried optimizing the app and it still fails.

Are there other apps that can use the backup file that the SMS Backup and Restore app created?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
Oh well, worth a shot. For info, I've tried the same and confirm that it was far from smooth with my tiny (?) 1500. Nevertheless, it did work when I thought it had not. It's a shame that is not worked for you.

Hey,

So I noticed something interesting with my S7 edge camera. Take a look at these two pictures. The lines are all parallel but the camera warps them and makes them wavey. I tried THREE other brand new S7 edge and 1 S7 phones and they all had this issue.

Can someone else see if this is happening on their phones too? Post pictures please!

It's your eyes. In reality they are straight lines, but your brain makes them wavy.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tiskewlio:
The lines are most definitely wavy. Just pull a ruler across the screen and you will see how the lines are no actually straight. As for why? I'm not sure but it's probably due to the nature of the lens. It's not very noticeable in every day use though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Watti1974:
Could be a flaw , but also an illusion

Tell you a funny store from the goood old days

At rolls royce in england they had old craftsmenn doing the welding job on manufacturing the grill on the rolls

they were the only ones that could make them so they lokked straight elgeangt lines ,, but.. take a ruler and they are bend so ever slightly to avoid your eyes seeing them as out of line ( your lens in the eye is curved too ) ;)

Guys,

I've taken multiple photos. These are only a few. I have tested with 5 devices total. Put a straight edge up to the image and you will see that they are distorted. The distortion is static - always distorts the same way in the same place for each image.

Can anyone else test and post pictures?

Thanks!

You can clearly see there's some barreling distortion near the top of the pic but there's another type of distortion in the middle, the level is flat, dont worry about the bubble.

the exact same problem with my s6 rear camera

Guys same exact problem for me, I can confirm you it not only affects s7 but also s6 since mine is an s6 non edge. Just waves all over the horizontal axis of the image, almost embarrassing, and this should be supposed to be among the best smartphone cameras? really?? and no reviewer noticed that??? Incredible, a real shame....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] billa:
Yes, tried it with and without the shape correction, "ON" seems to help a tad bit but still looks wavy.

When I out a ruler against the screen it's definitely the pictures not my eyes, as someone has suggested.

Now, I'm still running the Dec. 2016 firmware for personal reasons, has anyone tried it with the newer Nougat firmware to see if it was corrected?

Sadly it's wavy like a navy on the ocean. lol

I've noticed it's more noticeable on close up pics with straight horizontal lines.

Any trips for correction?
