[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momomok:
Hi everyone. Ever since upgrading my V10 (H961N variant) to Marshmallow, I have been searching for ways to toggle Demo Mode on/off on device...

So far I have no luck. As you may have guessed, there is no SystemUI Tuner menu in settings and so, no easy way to toggle Demo Mode on/off.

I did find a reference doc or some sort from android source:

https://android.googlesource.com/pl...-6.0.0_r1/packages/SystemUI/docs/demo_mode.md

It looks like one can control Demo Mode using either ADB or Context.sendBroadcast, and the later one seems to be what I have been looking for.

Does anyone know how to take advantage of this? Could I use a Tasker or something similar to send a broadcast to control Demo Mode? Or do I need to code an app for that?

Any help or enlightenment would be greatly appreciated, thanks :)

I currently have the galaxy s7 edge and my friend has the nexus 6p. I was thinking about trading with him. Do you all think that would be a good trade for me or should I keep the s7 edge?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robsw:
Assuming both are in good shape and you want the Nexus, I would sell the S7 Edge and buy a new Nexus 6P. Your model of the S7 in mint condition is selling for an average of $650 or so on Swappa and a brand new Nexus 6P starts at $450 for 32GB.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
I say 6p. I've used the s7 and it's just like the s6. The incremental processor upgrade is big on paper but unnoticeable in real life use. you could get a used s6 for cheaper. Not worth it IMO. The 6p gets updated monthly and will have N when it's released in Q3. The value of a Nexus device is undeniable.

Without question the S7 Edge imo.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spotmark:
If you like to tinker with your phone, the 6P is the only way to go. I'd sell the Galaxy, buy a 6p, and use the extra cash for some brewskis.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam_pl:
Get 6P only if You're Nexus die-hard fan, otherwise keep S7.

Nexus 6P is still very solid and capable device, but S7 has far better camera - both hardware and software - better battery, SD card support and superior screen witch is much brighter outdoors. Of course touchwiz can be a pain it the ass, but installing meterial theme from samsung apps and custom launcher will do the job.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feis:
Overdid it saying far better camera. Nexus 6p has just as good camera as many reviews already proved, even in low light you get pictures that are a bit darker compared to s7, but with way less noise. Agree on other points tho, battery, sd slot, dont know about screen, happy with mine no problems here. Overall s7e better device, but pricier.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam_pl:
Ok, camera is not that bad, but it lacks of ois and good software, because Google camera app is a bit disappointment. Other than that Galaxy S7 is still better device. But if you are nexus lower then there's no way around than 6P

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R-P:
My daughters SIII mini has *possibly* been slow charging for a while but not sure. So disregard this remark unless it makes sense to you.

Today it wouldn't turn ON, so I let her charge it. There is NO indication on the phone that it charges, but my ampere-meter (random link to similar 'amperemeter') showed 0.25A chargingcurrent. Once this dropped to 0.00A I tried turning it on, but there is NO reaction. No vibration, no sound, no backgroundlight or any other life in the display. I tried recovery mode (volume-up+power+home buttons), but no reaction.

I tried the S3mini battery in my S4 and it starts my S4 just fine, showing full charge. I even put it on the charger, but 100% is 100% so I saw no sense in leaving it there for more than a few minutes.

Putting it back in the S3 didn't work, removing the SD and SIM card didn't work, leaving the battery out for an hour didn't work.

Should I go open it up? It's probably not the ON button as that plays (imho) no role in showing charging-level while off (charging is something it does seem to do, but does not show on the display).

I once read that charging is governed by the software in Android, is there some truth to this? And if so can you draw conclusions that there is still something working/running inside?

The reason for putting my question on here is that I read about 50 threads on the subject and 45 of them claim it "won't start" or "does nothing" but then turn out to do a lot more than ours.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R-P:
Opened the phone up and found no apparent hardware issues. The ON button has a connection between middle and left solderpoint and MAKES a connection between middle and right solderpoint when pushing the button. Forgot to measure if it BREAKS the left and middle when pushing the button.

It does NOT show up as a drive on my computer but I do hear sounds from my computer when pushing the ON button on the S3mini (edit: correction, I hear sound when plugging the USB cable in or when removing it, NOT when actuating any buttons on the phone). So there is still something happening inside.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roke2:
I'm not a computer engineer so I don't know that much about CPUs. But what I understand is that Octa-core CPUs are technically Dual Quad Core. In the case of the Z5, when process demands lower performance, it only uses the 1.5 GHz Quad Core. When a process demands higher performance, it uses the 2 GHz Quad Core.

But what I noticed when I used SetCPU is that the Maximum CPU Speed of Z5C is just 1.5 GHz.

I would like to know how to set my phone to use the faster 2 GHz CPU.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
It uses 2.0 GHz,

as long as the kernel supports it and the bigger cores are used, the smaller cores are limited to 1.5.

You're most likely using a CPU tweak tool that isn't big.LITTLE aware - so that isn't shown or not correctly
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roke2:

My Rooted Xperia Z3s screen is completely smashed, but the display works. I want to back it up to my computer using Media Go and get a new phone. Initially, when I use this mirroring app it doe sent ask me to do anything, all I do is plug it in and it starts working so I can unlock my phone using it. Since the backup stopped working I had to start it again (I canceled it) and the phone got unplugged. I plugged it back in, and know a popup comes up saying ''The computers RSA key fingerprint is: XXXXXXXX'' then a check box saying '' Always allow from this computer. I know what this is and pressed ok with the check box ticked on this same computer already, and know it is asking me again. It wont let me use the screen mirrored until I check it, and the screen is unresponsive. Is there type of button that I can use to press ok? Thanks:(

Hi

I don't care for the charging sounds when the phone is connected / disconnected from the charger and setting silent to get around it is a pain.

I've had a look at all over the /system partition for where these sounds are located and can't find them.

Several forums mention they should be in system/media/audio but after listening to every single file I can't find them.

Does anyone know where they are located?

Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Papichoolo:
Hello XDA Members,

I am having a mysterious issue that has been very annoying. I have an EVO Wingle Wifi Device for Internet from PTCL in Pakistan.

It was working fine a couple days ago, my phone used to connect find to the wifi of the device and I was able to use internet on the phone, but all of a sudden one day, something went wrong.

Now the issue is that:

1. The phone can connect to the wifi, and it says "connected" but the device is not pushing the phone an IP anymore, it says "::1" in that place, and also the internet is not working on the phone.

2. On the devices stats page, I can see all other devices connected to the device, but not the phone. The wifi limit is 5, and I only usually have my laptop connected with it.

3. I also have tried to use a static IP on the phone like 192.168.1.128 and manually set it on the phone, and the phone still connects to the wifi, and it shows the IP, but still the internet doesn't work and the device doesn't register the phone in it's stats.

4. All other devices can connected and work fine with the wifi, with the internet working on all of them.

5. The phone works with any other wifi connection fine, just not with this device.

I have tried to:

1. Factory Reset my device, it didn't solve the issue.

2. Forget WiFi many times on phone, used different passwords, clear settings, etc.

3. Reset the phone, whitelisting phones MAC address on the device.

4. Used wifi fix apps from google play without any results.

But nothing seems to be fixing the issue.

Now I am at loss, I don't know what to do anymore, can anyone help?

Hello All,

I've been looking for a solution for this for well over a year now so any feedback or people with experience would be greatly appreciated. I'm even willing to pay for advice/work if need be.

For a long time I have used various Linux distro's on my spare laptop using a (Live-USB setup) in which I place a bootable Linux image on the USB and boot from the USB while the filesystem runs in RAM and nothing gets saved to the HD aka "non-persistent usb".

I'm breaking my neck to be able to create a pre-built android image with my custom app in the image - then boot this from a SD card every time the phone starts up. This would be used daily and no information would be able to be stored on the internal HD (may even remove the HD if the phone will still run).

Hopefully someone on here has the knowledge and/or experience to point me in the best direction.

[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sado1:
My device is European L04, currently running North Africa release (the earliest Marshmallow build uploaded) - L04_2016_0316_0900 (B820)

I'd like to unlock the bootloader and root my Honor 6. I've never done it (on this particular device), because I've read enough here to know it's slightly more risky than on other devices, especially when you plan to update the stock rom soon, so I preferred to wait until I have the last important update the device is likely to receive - Android 6.0.

What I want to know (some of the answers are in the topics which I listed below):

MultiTool - I've seen reports of bricks when using MultiTool with EMUI4/Marshmallow - why does it happen? My understanding is that MultiTool is a bundle of adb/fastboot and some recovery images for older Android versions, so my theory is that instead of using MultiTool, I should simply get the proper recovery for Marshmallow and flash it manually with fastboot, right?

unlocking bootloader, rooting, flashing recovery - I think I understand the process; in a nutshell: 'fastboot oem unlock X', 'fastboot flash recovery imagename.img', then flash the proper SU.zip in recovery. Where do I find the code, the Marshmallow recovery image, the SU.zip file?

will recovery backup in TWRP work without any problems?

what is the procedure to go back to stock completely after rooting? Unroot, (then wipe if it's needed?) so I am able to safely flash stock firmware again (since, from what I know, flashing stock on a rooted phone makes itself brick permanently, right? or is it just a soft-brick and it can be fixed?)

is there anything else I should know before proceeding?

What I found so far:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66615082&postcount=502 - two recovery images, TWRP and another one (stock?) for the Marshmallow release

http://xdaforums.com/honor-6/general/honor6-multi-tool-t2963060/page50 some rooting instructions for the L02 beta, see posts 494 and 498; no idea whether this is applicable to final Marshmallow or L04 at all

http://xdaforums.com/honor-6/general/huawei-honor-6-plus-unlock-bootloader-id-t3357259 an app to get the unlock code, seems a bit shady to me though on the first glance

http://xdaforums.com/honor-6/development/honor-6-rooting-method-t2962795 alternate methods for bootloader (through a website or by email), in case the app won't work; also, detailed instructions on unlocking and rooting

Basically, I need to know whether my procedure is more or less right before I proceed. I think the information is quite hard to find and the risks are quite high, so I'd like to make a promise - when I'm done rooting it and I know the correct process, I'm going to make a "Update to Marshmallow, unlock, root" how-to thread for all the people that will need it in the future.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sado1:
Another two questions...

1. Where do I get proper SuperSU for Marshmallow? I get a boot loop (yeah, I know I have to wait and I did, but it's a pretty obvious bootloop from watching the logcat content, and nothing new happens...) after flashing http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable (2.65).

2. I have unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP, so recovery and fastboot are functional. I didn't make a backup before flashing the zip and now I'm in a bootloop. How do I restore working Marshmallow? I assume I can either beg somebody to upload a TWRP backup for my H60-L04, or somehow flash the stock over what I have now. Can I simply use manual update from SD? Can I somehow flash Marshmallow again with fastboot? I'm too scared of bricking my device right now so I guess I'll brace myself for a few days without a phone until somebody helps me :/
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sado1:
I just flashed the Marshmallow release I had before the bootloop (I used Huawei Update Extractor and flashed boot, cust, system and recovery with fastboot; then open up Huawei recovery and factory reset for good measure, I'm not sure it was even needed) and the device is working. I'll restore my stuff, install TWRP, make a backup then try out your ZIP. Thanks :)

edit: thanks again - your zip works indeed. So after the initial hurdles, now I've got working root and a reasonable way of restoring in case I screw something up along the way.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sado1:
Before making a new topic with the tutorial I have a few more questions.

First of all, why exactly we weren't supposed to update the rooted devices? I'm not currently interested in OTAs (it's pretty obvious that it needs a functional Huawei recovery, and you need to unroot cause an update can make a mess in a rooted system, making it bootloop for example), but can we flash extracted images with fastboot on rooted devices? Logically, we should be able to... How about sdcard update method?

Can we flash Marshmallow on Kitkat? (fastboot, sdcard, local update methods?) Or do we need to update to Lollipop along the way?

Can I flash stock roms in general (evenbetween different Android versions) by using fastboot with {boot, cust, recovery, system} images only? There's a lot of images that you can extract with Huawei Update Extractor - why there's so many if they're not needed?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_ziom:
Hi,

My friend has bought a SGS7 because his SGS4 faced a problem, so he gave to me to fix it

The problem is as follows:

The phone sees the sim after maybe 5-10 minutes AFTER booting up and then 5-10 min after that it vibrates twice and than reboots its self. When the phone boots up and i try to view the imei by *#06# there is no response however a while after that when the sim is recognised the imei box pops up. Even without the sim the exact same things happen

#*The top part of the screen is gone slightly pink I think thats because its due to overheating as the phone is hot when for example is charging and not being used or when the phone is used to play spotify with the screen turned off dont know if this will help anyone the casue of the modem disfunctioning but the screen is pinkish where the processor and the sim is so...*#

Now i have tryed some troubleshooting withut success i have done as follows:

I've changed the sim tray which didnt help at all

I put tape on the sim/sdcard conncetor to add more pesssure (worked for other) without success

Tried to downgrade to 4.4.2 to change modem as there is no mode for the lolipop version of the stock rom

And lastly i have applyed the 4.4.2 modem to 5.0.1 that did nothing to the system

Please help me i have searched trough google and found out that this only happens when downgrading for lolipop to kitkat but he has never done anything to the phone no root not even a screen repair (where im based there are may scamers who replase the screen and than say the for the screen to work that had to modify the system thanks to that they charge more for the repair)

Please help, anyhelp is useful
