[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Blues fan:
I got the Defender for the S7 and I actually like the case and it's rare but the screen protector actually fits pretty flush. Still not the best but improvement from past Defenders.

Anyways what is the Supcase/Unicorn Beetle like for the S7? I had one for the Note 5 and it was okay and had a great built in screen protector but the case felt kind of thin protection wise. Is the S7 one any good and offer good drop protection compared to the Otterbox Defender?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] afrojoc:
I just ordered one just now. I have the otterbox symmetry which is kind of thin but the supcase unicorn beetle had excellent reviews for the price and I miss using a holster. Will update once it comes in.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] hckyplyr:
I have the Supcase Unicorn Beetle and definitely recommend it. It does not have a screen protector.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Blues fan:
That's the edge one. I had it for the Note 5 and it's an okay case but it's thin and doesn't have a lot of padding like the Otterbox. The build quality on it isn't nearly as good as the Defender for the S7 and there are also some bad reviews about Supcase breaking and the phone breaking.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] afrojoc:
Alright I finally got the unicorn beetle pro or whatever it's called. The protection it offers is better then my otterbox symmetry. The built in screen protector is flush against the screen so touches are responsive. It's a great case but I would not recommend it because you are unable to swipe from off the screen to check your notifications of you're playing a game. Look elsewhere
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Blues fan:
Yea, my Otterbox Defender is like that too, a bit harder to swipe down. Not a huge deal though just takes a tad more effort. I had the Supcase for my Note 5 and yes the built in protector is great. I still might order it, don't know. It just doesn't seem to offer the level of protection the Otterbox Defender has for drops.

Poetic Revolution is a great heavy duty case too. It will be coming out on Amazon April 30th. Incipio has the Level 5 drop protection case coming out soon that looks better than the Supcase.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] cruzizcaredonotn:
I have the unicorn beetle pro. it is a little difficult to swipe in from the sides, but can still do it. Swipe from the top is easy since entire notification bar is exposed. At first I had the phone without cover, so after I put in cover I had to redo the finger prints cause was difficult to read. Guessing the angle of the finger is just a tad different. I also like that it makes the phone bigger, easier to hold for me.

Idk what the mini apps are actually called but is there a way to play youtube videos on one?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hansip87:
Try my media viewer small app (available from my signature) or just launch add small app from Small App Launcher. There's a limitation if you install from Play Store though, you'll lose background playback when on Youtube. Better install XDA version.

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
I was curious if there were anyone using the Pixel C for emulating games. I think dolphin is one of the most resource intensive emulator out right now with good android suppprt

So for those who are using Dolphin, what type of performance levels are you getting with various games?

I'm curious about Mario and Zelda games the most, but I'd like to hear as much feedback as possible.

Also, does disabling encryption help with performance of dolphin emulation or is the bottleneck CPU/GPU?

Thanks in advance!
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tevil:

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leo91919:
In the main menu you can open a sidebar by pushing on the Dolphin then settings->Input->Input Overlay->Input Overlay Layout

Mariokart runs in Time Trials mode not bad (depands also on the Track) but i think Grand Prix is not playable

edit: sadly there are no updates since 2014. I think with some optimations dolphin could run all games :crying:
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antpavtoto:
hi i'm new user of google pixel c and i run perfectly on dolphin emulator games of gamecube like zelda wind waker and zelda twilight princess but i use the new build of this emulator wich is update often to improve all. The actually dolphin android emulator builds are on this page:

As i can't put you link here type in google search this:

builder release android buildbot dolphin emulator

and click on first link then to download apk of build you need to click on number of build like 930 to obtain build page and click on file in "steps and logfiles" field

like in this case

"dolphin-master-5.0-1605.apk"

for best configuration i can't put link like pictures then if you need i could you tell screen by screen in text here, if you need.

[Remix OS for PC] Q8-V08:
Which is the best for performance and opengl es 3x support? given that Ferrmi cards aren't going be supported by the vulkan api by nvidia drivers.

1. To disable optimus and run the nvidia gpu using their Linux driver.

2. Same as above but run with Gallium driver.

3. Same as above but with Nouveau driver.

4. Bumblebee - is this even supported by Remix OS?

5. PRIME - Same question as Bumblebee is it supported?

I managed enable the nvidia gpu whilst in optimus mode using

nomodeset i915.modeset=0 nouveau.modeset=0 which ran Gallium llvmpipe but the performance was dreadful and the resolution was lowered, is Gallium llvmpipe a software renderer? is their a way to run Gallium hardware rendering the same as Intel gpu or is Nouveau the proper usage scenario?

Remix OS kept crashing using just i915.modeset=0 nouveau.modeset=1 and Aida64 stalled / locked up but ran without problem using the Intel gpu.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] george2tk:
Hi,

I have a problem with my Nexus 5x,

After installed Android N, I decided to go back to 6.0.1

So I unroll my device, downloaded the Marshmallow and after the installation when the phone is trying to turn on it starts to block, right after the GOOGLE logo and starts over, so all I can do is to let it starts over and over and over ...

Please advise

Thank you
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4ssnet:
How you "go back" to 6.0.1 ?

For sure you haven't flashed throught fastboot, if you do that you will be back to 100% stock except the bootloader unlocked
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2x4:
did you check "OEM unlocking" in dev options before downgrading?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rododanders:
I have the same problem. I don't check any options, just call unroll, phone download androi 6 and taht's all, now phone many time try to start :(
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
Do either of you have unlocked bootloaders?

If so, fastboot flash the latest factory images.

If not, search for and flash the full Android N OTA from the stock recovery.
[Amazon Fire Phone] zeevikn:
Hi.

How do I upgrade my CM Fire phone version?

Been happily running CM11 on my phone for a few months.

I was looking for updates through Settings -> About phone -> CyanogenMod updates, but it kept stating no new updates available.

When I checked today this forum, I realized there are updates available, but I could not find instructions for updating the Fire phone (only found for fresh install).

So, how do I update the phone ?

Instructions, links or hints would be highly appreciated.

TIA,

Zeevik
[Amazon Fire Phone] fniestroj:
Hi,

i can personally say that "dirty flashing" the update was never a Problem.

Just flash the new updated .zip like you did before BUT WITHOUT WIPING ANYTHING.

then you should be updated WITHOUT loosing installed files

Regards
[Amazon Fire Phone] Bingo Bronson:
By definition:

dirty flash ---> flash new version of the ROM, wipe cache and dalvik afterwards

If you don't want to wipe caches, that's fine... if some apps start acting up, wiping the caches will solve the problem (9/10 times) after a dirty flash.

You can find and download all previous versions in the changelog (post #2) if you ever feel the need to go back to a specific build version.

...so updating to a new CM release is really simple and it only takes a few minutes.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Rempala:
But make sure you stay on CM11 and not go to CM12+.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
I have this question for a long time.

I have never do a restore nor replacing ROM.

I always afraid to do that. I did hard-reset once with this new Kaiser but at that time I did not install a lot of applications, so I re-installed one-by-one.

So, what would be the correct "backup -> hard-reset -> restore" cycle?

I was thinking like this:

1. Make backup using SpriteBackup

2. Disconnect from ActiveSync

3. Do hard-reset (or change ROM)

4. Reconnect to ActiveSync

5. Install SpriteBackup again

6. Do restore using SpriteBackup

After this, will the state will be EXACTLY the same before hard-reset?

Or do I need to do something else? Or the above procedure is wrong.

Please if you can correct me, or convince me :)

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hanmin:
For a start, I would not recommend Sprite Backup for a hardreset on the purpose of changing ROM (i.e. Sprite Backup may mess up your new ROM).

As for other issues, you may have problems with your SD-Card encryption feature (WM6) if you had it enabled.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] captainsensible2002:
Forget the activesync stuff too... not necessary.

Plus if you make a backup that is an executable file (see options in Sprite Backup) then you don't need to re-install it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DJRepresent:
Hi,

My S4 SGH-M919 is having a problem where it appears to turn on, charge, and boot to the OS, but there is no response from the screen. The bottom buttons illuminate but the screen doesn't want to turn on. I've tried removing the battery and holding the power button down for an X-number of seconds, but this doesn't seem to do the trick.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] audit13:
With the phone powered off, connect the phone to the charger. If you see the charging animation, sounds to me like the screen may be damaged or the LCD/motherboard connector is loose.

Was the phone every dropped or bumped?

Hi..

I have had this problem since I bought my Wifi-only LG G Pad 7 tablet (v400)*

android version 4.4.2

Here's what's going on.. When I sign in a new Google account.. I type my Email address.. Press next and then it shows loading (or the moving line) forever.. I somehow managed to sing in.. When opening Play Store it gives me all the apps and stuff.. When I press install it shows the download notification and nothing happens.. It keeps saying "downloading" forever.. It's not a WiFi issue.. Tens of Android devices I have tried on the same Wifi and they never had any of these issues..*

When I open a VPN app (Hotspot Shield) everything works as it should.. It signs in and downloads perfectly.. But I can't connect to a VPN every time I need to download/update an app.. Here's the things that I have tried so far.. BTW I tried EVERYTHING!!

1) Cleared Data and cache of Play Store and every single Google app..

2) Factory Reset the tablet..

3) Deleted the hosts file (system/etc/hosts) and tried to edit it (put # before the lines)

4) I even installed CM12.1 (two different ROMs) and different GApps.. With wiping everything .. And the same issue happened!!!

5) Tried to play a little with Market Unlocker app..*

PLEASE PLEASE give me suggestions.. I really need to solve this forever.. Thanks in advance..*

Kindly press thanks if I helped :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirdizzle415:
I've had this problem on my last phone as well, not just the Nexus 6P, but I'm wondering if anyone can help me troubleshoot this REALLY annoying issue.

In my car, I have an OBD2 sensor that I use with Dash. It works great while Spotify streaming to my car stereo. It even works fine during a phone call (Spotify pauses), but Dash continues to work while I'm talking on the phone.

The second I end the call, my connection to the OBD2 sensor drops and I have to reconnect the app to the OBD2 sensor. The Bluetooth connection continues working fine for streaming music and phone calls, but the OBD2 to app connection drops. VERY rarely, I end the call, and it continues working as expected.

I don't know if it's the actual OBD2 adapter causing the problem, if it's the phone, or if it's the Dash app. This has been an issue with my Galaxy S6 AND my Nexus 6P, but it was never an issue with my old Samsung Galaxy S3.

Can anyone help troubleshoot? Could it be a ram issue? Too many background apps?

Any help would be appreciated!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazeazn:
Hey guys,

I have a completely stock N8013. Recently, I've been charging the device but the % indicator stays the same even if charged for 10+ hours. I'm now down to 7%. I downloaded Ampere and I tried plugging into the wall socket and got around 1400mA, while on my laptop I got around 900mA, so I think the brick+cable are working. I also downloaded Repair Battery which IDed that about 5% of my cells were "bad" but it "fixed" that. Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Drain battery to 10% .

Fully charge remove lead two hours later connect lead and recharge .

Download and run Battery Calibration app .( it does not calibrate just clears the battery stats )

Thats all you can do failure = new battery .

So you don't want freedom so you don't want Xposed via flashfire so you don't want Titanium Backup those are just some things I need root for idk about you but even if I didn't need those things I would still do it just because I can.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] HNIC215:
I think there's pros and cons to everything...

I love rooting, always have but this is the first time in a long time that I can't root and it's actually not so bad.

Granted I'd love to be able to installing ROMs, remove ads and bloat and have all these tweaks and tricks but it's sort of like... been there, done that.

If you root your phone now, you can NEVER use Samsung Pay... EVER on your device. Even if you restore stock firmware. That's actually a big issue now with mobile payments being a common thing.

I kind of like having my phone much more secure and safe to do important financial transactions and access important accounts (just like I do on my iPhone) without fear of lax security while using rooted/custom software.

I think moving into the future, flagship phones like Samsung's Galaxy line(s) won't risk bad press or the potential for bad press by allowing the modding community to easily gain root access and customize their software.

They have more to lose than gain by doing that, especially with their rivalry with Apple being so neck and neck now.

I think people like us on XDA who love rooting will have to purchase devices from up and coming OEMs if we still want to root, either that or Nexus devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Ghost Dragon:
1. So you would sacrifice freedom for convenience

2. Geohots court session with Apple made it legal to jailbreak aka root phones so why exactly would they get "bad press"

3. Android is open source so what Samsung is doing is kind of breaking the law of Android destroying the very foundation and purpose of it's creation
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Rolldog:
I was using Samsung Pay on my S6 Edge, and I decided to root it, unlock the bootloader, and flash a new ROM on it. 2 days later, someone had all of my personal info, all the info for a credit card I had on file and was using on my phone, and ran up $6000. I got a text from the bank to verify a purchase which I didn't make, and I responded that I did not make the transaction, but someone had enough information about me to call the bank, verify all of my information along with the purchase. I'm not saying the unlocking and flashing allowed someone to access this information, but it's a fairly large coincidence. Moving forward, any device that I use for financial transactions and such will remain stock, and if I root a device and flash it, it will be a separate device that doesn't contain any confidential information.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] HNIC215:
Exactly my point...

This is what makes so many consumers out there trust Apple because, whether true or not, they feel safe with Apple.

Samsung - being Apple's equivalent in the Android world - wants that same recognition and consumer trust.

I can't blame them either.

In this day and age, it is simply the world we live in, security is paramount for businesses and consumers alike.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Jusnice:
I been rooting all my phones and my wife's phones for about 5-6 years and can say this phone is perfect jus the way it is. Since launch I had the gs7 edge and not once have I got the urge to root this beautiful device. And I'm sure I speak for most of us here that we can't go 2 days with a new phone without gaining root, flashing roms or xpose etc. For me it's more than jus keeping security. Samsung jus made a phone worth keeping stock, finally.
