[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Juuls:
You should be able to get at least 6 to 8 hours SOT with the SD820 Edge, just look at this threat and try it. Despite your bad experience so far this S7 should easily obliterate your DT and 6p. It's just a shame 800 bucks doesn't work great straight out of the box like most Exynos do and how it should be. But even Exynos isn't perfect, e.g. my standby drain is slowly creeping upwards from 2% per night on the first day till 4% now, 2 weeks later. Without ever changing a setting. Not complaining though :) This phone has potential like no other phone in market does at this point in time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Carterman32:
I'd strongly doubt that any phone could average 6+ hrs of SoT unless you're on wifi and using the screen continuously. But again, everyone uses their phones differently. For me, it was the terrible Samsung support that made me throw in the towel. I agree that the phone has potential, but potential is just that. If the people responsible for updating the phone don't pay attention to their customers than the phone will never improve beyond its potential.

v2.7 initial MM release

v2.7 INITIAL MM release for SM-N920-P device variant

Not personally tested > I have a SM-N920C.

This is a TEST RELEASE and

built without N920P source release from Samsung

!!

DO NOT restore profiles from older versions or other kernels !

XDA RULE #1 'SEARCH BEFORE POSTING". Please READ Posts #1-3 BEFORE flashing !!

BUGS:

Disabling "Turbo Mode" will screw up frequency scaling. So if you have disabled

any time

, you need to REBOOT !!

Changing Interactive governor profiles when Interactive

is not used

, will result in Synapse display errors. Nothing to worry, no need to change the profile if Interactive it not used !

Have fun :)

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] thegame2388:
Long story short, I've encrypted both the internal card (sd card) and my 64gb micro SD card.

Now I have a few questions:

1) Say my phone is stolen, but my phone is on....and my phone is locked out (since it's been like idk, 2 hours since my last phone activity). Obviously the thief wouldn't have my fingerprint or password, so he couldn't theoretically plug my S7 via USB to his computer and read all my stuff right?

2) If the device is OFF, I'm sure his odds are even less...0%.....right?

3) If my phone is ON, and my phone is unlocked (say he stole it literally 1 minute after my last phone activity), he "could" go through all my stuff but what are the odds of that happening?

I'd appreciate answers to these questions: but I don't get one thing: what does this screen even mean? Right now, I have it to DO NOT REQUIRE. Am I compromising something here? I don't get the first option at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rydah:
I have it on. Basically for your device to complete it's boot into Android, it requires your pin first.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] C0derbear:
I don't think so.

Every time I plug my phone into a PC via USB the phone asks if it's okay to allow access, and there is no option to "forget it, just do it" here. It's marginally irritating BUT has the advantage of never allowing unapproved access via USB. Note: My USB setting is at the default value of "MTP" - to enable media transfer, not just pictures.

I mostly agree with [MENTION=1256436]Rydah805[/MENTION] on this one. On my device a reboot/boot requires the pin/pattern/password (whatever you've configured) in order to access the device. The text on the device indicates that this "protects the fingerprints" - so I'm guessing that in order to access the (secure) storage where the fingerprint data resides the system first needs the base security credential you have configured.

This is why the security conscious configure the phone for a very brief "idle to screen lock" time (mine is 15 seconds, which also saves power) and to always 'lock' when the screen shuts off (no deferred time). In theory, couple this with Smart Stay and it won't turn off/lock WHILE you are using the phone, in practice Smart Stay isn't perfect and you may need to tap or scroll the screen to keep it awake. I find that a small price to pay for ease of mind (and reduced idle battery drain).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] meyerweb:
If the phone is locked, and you connect it via USB, the PC can't see anything on the phone via MTP or PTP. What I'm not sure about is IF you've enabled USB debugging, and the thief knows how to use ADB, if that changes things. My guess is that you still can't access anything on the phone without unlocking it first, but I don't know that for sure.

And since all the data is encrypted, if they brute force their way in somehow (physically accessing memory, say), they'll only have access to the encrypted data.

If the phone is off, and you haven't set the option shown in the OP, then the same answer applies, because the thief can just turn it on and get to the same place (locked with fingerprints). I'm not sure exactly what that option is doing, but if you turn it on you have to enter a pin or password when the phone boots, before you even get to the fingerprint unlock screen. It's adding another layer of security, and since I rarely reboot my phone, I have it turned on.

One thing to keep in mind if you're worried about the government accessing your data. At least one U.S. court has ruled that law enforcement can compel you to unlock the phone with a fingerprint, but not require you to divulge a password or pin. So if you're getting arrested, reboot your phone, quick!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] thegame2388:
Hmmm I guess I'll turn on the option too. I'm not worried about the government, just the common thief or hacker. I've got nothing to hide really from the NSA lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] meyerweb:

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mississip:
I just received my new Nvidia Shield today, and am afraid I discovered a defect. I was in 'about tablet' to verify version 6.0, and noticed a darkened / shadowed area at the left edge of the touchscreen, 3.3 cm below the upper left corner and extending from the edge about half a cm. It is visible in this portion of the screen regardless of what I am viewing, as long as I am viewing something that illuminates the left limit of the screen.

I haven't even had a chance to do anything with the tablet, other than the updates. I don't know what it could be. I am really hoping I don't have to send it back for another. Any suggestions?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansoh:
I just got mine 2 days ago from Amazon and also noticed this. Was on Chat with Nvidia support after 20mins of waiting. Did a Factory reset, still persisted. If you disable the Ambient option under Brightness, it would look better. But I am sending this back to Amazon and they are sending me a new one.

BTW, I did an update to 6.0 and 1.1. not sure if that is the cause.

[Nexus 6P General] Bluemgt06:
I don't know if this is the right place for a story but... This is how I got a free Nexus 6P 128GB.

When I got my first 6P it was bent slightly from the factory, I complained to Google and they sent me a replacement. Well that replacement ended up being the same way so I told them about it. They said for me to send my original device back and they would send a replacement for the replacement. I told them that I had too much data to transfer and didn't mind doing it once but not twice. They said they would have to talk with their shipping department to get it set up because if the replacement was sent back instead of the original I would be charged. So I waited and waited. Here it is a month later and no news, no charge for not seeding the device (should have charged in 7 days). So I'm gonna keep it and give it to my dad assuming they didn't block the imei of it.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] silky28:
Hey all,

I have a Bell mobility (Canada) Mega i527 with a cracked screen. It is cracked pretty badly but works for the most part...it will work perfectly fine for a while but every once in a while the touch screen will just lock up. Figured I should buy a new screen assembly. I've changed screens in the past with no issues but I read that since 4.4.2 many screens simply won't work because of a missing chip on the the ribbon (I think its the synaptic chip?).

Can anyone suggest where I might find a screen? Is there a way to know if a screen has this required synaptic chip?

thanks a bunch!

I purchased AGK fire pro when he made it, but it doesn't work on marshmallow. And none of the apps in the play store appear to work yet either. The developer Fire install stated marshmallow removed the adb files that agk fire and fire install would use to send files to fire TV so maybe there is an easy work around.

It's not uncommon for a big OTA to cause problems. Try booting into recovery and clearing cache, then rebooting the phone. If that doesn't work, I've seen plenty of cases where people had to do a factory reset after a big OTA.

Has anyone already seen this or knows how to solve this problem?

My friend has a HTC TYTN2 and after connecting via usb in the pc, the tray icon displays connected, but you cannot sync, cannot do anything. The activesync main windows says it's disconnected. You cannot browse the files from "My Computer" too. So only the tray icon says it's connected (connection established as saw in network connections), but all other windows says that is disconnected. I've tried my Hermes in his computer with the same result. I've already tried an old activesync, the dhcp service is running and firewall is off.

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] larsuck:
Sorry, I made a really rude comment without reading carefully. My bad.

First, uncheck "Enable advanced network" in Settings>Connections>USB to PC, then reinsert the PPC.

If that doesn't work, with the Pocket PC cradled, check your device manager under network adapters to see if your pocket pc is there. If it is, delete the entry in the device manager. After a short while, the computer should automatically find the ppc and install the right drivers.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] gguevara:
Hello gentlemen,

I'm back, with a what I hope is a minor issue. I hope someone can help me.

I have the following head unit (Universal Model):

KLD Universal model S07 - RK3181 (quadcore)

800x480 resolution - KK 4.4.4_23072015

MCU version MTCB-KLD2-V2.67 (Jul 09 2015 19:15:51)

Kernal version 3.0.36+ root@chun-book #396 (Wed Jul 22 17:40:16 CST 2015)

Build number RK3188-ENG4.4.4 23072015.09:09:11

CPU ARMv7 1.6Ghz (x4)

It is rooted via the factory settings method. But other than that it is pretty much still stock (I added a cooling fan). The only other apps I add where PowerAmp, PowerAmp Toast, Xposed Framework, XposedMTC, and Lucky Patcher (I believe this app fully unlocks the PowerAmp app). I have had no issue with it for the last 7 months.

However, the other day it took a long time to bootup. Now I have some google service errors: "the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"

I have to keep on clicking "OK" in order for the error pop-ups to close. I have to repeat this several times until all the pop-ups finally stop. Other than that, everything else is working properly. Although I notices that Xposed and PowerAmp Toast do not start (no icons on the top notice bar).

I tried going to Settings/App Manager/Google Service Framework - and then I click Forces Stopped it, Disable, Clear Data, Clear Cache, Enable. Then I reboot, but I still get the same google service errors.

Can someone please help me fix this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Galo

PS - One other thing. This is related to the XDA website in general. How can I get rid of that stupid side panel (Analysis & Opinion / More XDA New). It keeps on automatically scolling and gets in the way of reading and typing. It is really annoying. Can someone tell me how to switch this off. Thanks again
[MTCB Android Head Units General] BullGawd:
Lucky Patcher has a "clear cache" option. Maybe try that? Should force all the Android apps to optimize at boot and maybe fix your issues.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] gguevara:
Hello BullGawd,

I already tried that. I also tried going into Settings/App Manager and clearing the cache for Google Services Framework.

I even tried by pressing the small reset botton on the face of the head unit. I am trying to avoid doing a factory reset from the recovery screen.

Has anyone had this issue with this these head units? How did you get this error fixed.

Thanks,

ggee
[MTCB Android Head Units General] gguevara:
Hi guys,

My unit is stock. But I think I am just going to flash a newer version of the factory firmware (kitkat 4.4.4). In the old threads there used to be two repositories. One was the huifei-fileserver, and the other was a Google Drive site. Now I only see the huifei-fileserver.

Anyways, I downloaded the latest KLD RK3188 800x480 firmware:

http://huifei.fs-fileserver.de/cont...D 4.4.4/800x480/KLD 800x480 20150820 Factory/

However, it looks like the firmware .img file is made up of two parts. Both are zip files and each one contains a .img file.

-Am I supposed to merge both of these files into one .img file? If so, how do I do this?

-Or am I supposed to put both of these .img files into the root of the sd card (then insert to the gps slot)?

I know how to flash and update the firmware. However, I have only ever seen this process done using one .img file - not two. Can someone please clarify what to do with these two files in order to flash them properly. I do not want to gamble and brick my unit.

Thanks,

ggee
[MTCB Android Head Units General] TT_Vert:
is one an mcu.img file? If so, remote that and only flash update.img

Dave
[MTCB Android Head Units General] gguevara:
Hello,

The first zip file says Part1 and its 204MB in size. This zip contains one update.img (634MB when extracted). The second zip file says Part2 and its 91MB in size. This zip also contains one update.img (yet it is the same size when extracted - 634MB). This is confusing and should be something easy and straight forward.

I am not sure if both of these files need to be merged. If they are supposed to be merged, how would you do this (what app does this).

-OR-

I am not sure if both update.img files need to be copied to the root of the sd card. However, both files cannot have the same name within the same directory, otherwise one file will overwrite the other. One file name will need to be changed. But I believe once you change the name, the head unit will not recognize it as a firmware image anymore.

Can someone please clarify this.

Thanks,

ggee
[MTCB Android Head Units General] TT_Vert:
ok you need to use winrar first to combine the two. Are you sure these weren't rar files NOT zip files?

Dave
[MTCB Android Head Units General] gguevara:
Hello,

Yes, these are winrar files and I also use the winrar software. Sorry, I tend to use the word "zip" when talking about compressed file formats in general. Both files I am speaking about are winrar (Part1 and Part2). And each has an update.img file. How do I combine the files? Is there a special function within winrar?

BTW - do you have any idea about my original problem (google services stopped working)? Since I have not gotten a definitive answer, I was thinking about either doing a factory resetting, or just updating the firmware and mcu. I decided to update and that is why I'm stuck on these two "winrar" files, and how to combine them.

Thanks,

ggee
[MTCB Android Head Units General] TT_Vert:
if you search that is a very common problem. Resetting won't fix it. Open first rar and extract. It will then combine the two into one update.img file.

Dave
[MTCB Android Head Units General] gguevara:
Hello Dave,

Thanks for pointing this out. I honestly have never had to merge two winrar files together before. I was definitely overthinking this process. I guess this happens when dealing with the more complex issues here, and not wanting to brick the unit. I really appreciate it.

As for my google services problem. I have done several searches on this topic. I do see lots of people asking how to fix it. But I do not see posts answering them back with a fix. The only other answer I was able to search out is on the Old Threat Q&A sticky (Problems and Solutions Found by Users):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=56791126#post56791126

This is a very vague answer and does not give much detail. I tried what they mentioned and it does not work for me. I think after the Old Threat was split, the answers are probably scattered around in partial chunks. If you have a the link to an answer/solution to this, I would be greatly appreciative. Otherwise, I am forced to have to update/flash the firmware on an issue that probably could have been easily solved. If it is a very common issue, maybe it should be its own sticky so that people can easily see it.

Thanks again.

[MTCB Android Head Units General] TT_Vert:
