[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rbiz:
Hi all!! Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me, or indeed if you know where I could read more on this subject, I would be very grateful!!

I have an S7 exynos version and would like to root it.

I'm worried about the fact that if I have to return or repair it, the "knox counter" will indicate that I was rooted and I will not be eligible for warranty services. Is this true?

Also, apart from being able to run "root" apps, is there anything else I should be aware of once the phone is rooted? Any known bugs, or security concerns?

And what happens regarding updates? Do they function as normal, or do you need to re-root with each big update?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowsami4:
Hi everybody. First at all i'm french, so sorry for my english.

My nexus 5 won't boot, i'm stuck at the animated bootanimation.

I've tried a wipe but in my recovery, i've got "no command" and the phone reboot automatically within 6 or 10 seconds.

The hold power then push vol + and then release power... no reaction and reboot.

So here it is, the time to flash stock but during the process, can't erase cache, and userdata. Also failed flash cache and userdata.

System boot bootloader and recovery successfuly flashed but no changes.

I've tried to flash recovery only and succes but no change still on recovery stock and no command.

So what's wrong with this phone.

Does somebody encountered this problem and solved it ? Any idea or advice please.

Thanks

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] tnhh:
My P9 no longer boots after I tried to edit /data/system/packages.xml to enable SD card writing :( It boots up but it doesn't let me unlock the phone. logcat shows lots of "java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial" so I assume I made an error when editing the file. Grr.

I have rooted it and installed TWRP. I can still boot into TWRP and also the Huawei erecovery. What is the best way to reset the phone? My understanding is that TWRP can't read /data so I assume that it can't wipe it. Is that correct? If I do the erecovery and download an image over Wi-Fi, will that break anything?

Official Xperia X/Xperia XZ/StryFlex Themes

Hey friends! I've created Official Xperia X/Xperia XZ/StryFlex Themes from scratch specially for this ROM.Hope you guys like it!;) Find the themes at the end of this post and install normally.Apply the theme you want from Substratum Theme Engine. Cheers!!:good::D

StryFlex Black Theme

StryFlex Blue Theme

StryFlex Magenta Theme

StryFlex Platinum Theme

StryFlex Lime Theme

StryFlex Pink Theme

StryFlex Rose Theme

StryFlex White Theme

Important Instructions:-

Substratum Theme Engine is bit different from previous Layers Engine.

Launch Substratum app, grant superuser access to both substratum and masquerade. Now you need to manually install the attached themes. Each theme contains 4 different overlays.

You should apply only one overlay at a time to avoid conflicts. Go to desired theme, select the overlay, click build and enable. It takes around 2-3 mins to fully apply theme. When it shows No errors while applying theme dialogue, do a soft reboot to let the theme take full effect.

Remember to do Clean Overlays before applying new overlay. You need to do soft-reboot after applying an overlay to take full effects.

You can find all wallpapers in wallpaper tab. You can choose according to your liking, crop and apply it manually.

Due to API restrictions, it wasn't possible to include lockscreen wallpaper in the theme itself, so I have attached zip of lockscreen wallpapers, you can download and extract those to your sdcard.

You need to manually apply lockscreen wallpaper from Album->Your lockscreen wallpaper from sdcard->Use as->Lockscreen wallpaper.

Also, to get rid of AOSP launcher icons, long press home screen->Home settings->Icon appearance->Apply Xperia XZ icon pack.

[General Questions and Answers] skyhirules:
I've noticed the last couple of days that my phone every now and then downloads by itself some "ErrorReport" files. I've tried tapping at the notifications but nothing happens.

Does anybody know what this could be?

My phone is Xperia Z1 Compact, with rooted stock Android 5.1.1.

Thanks in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] MogoGLC:
This has been happening to my phone as well. For a week or so now since i upgraded to cm13

The image below is what happens. It will constantly download something for hours then disappear again. At one time it said 189 files downloading. I still have not been able to figure out why it keeps coming and going.

If anyone has any info it would be much appreciated

Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] skyhirules:
After a LOT of googling, I think I found the cause of the problem.

In some German forum (I don't speak German! ? ) I read a post of someone having the same issue. He said that it might have been due to some app he had installed. The problem appeared after he updated some of his apps, which he outnumbered. The only one that I had installed too was Bluebox Security Scanner. So I thought I should give it a shot and uninstall it. And guess what! After uninstalling it the problem stopped! Not even a single ErrorReport download after 2 days without it! Before, I'd have frequent ones whenever I connected to a WiFi.

It seems to me so far that this app caused the issue. So guys, my question to you now is: do you have that app too? If yes, please try uninstalling it and report back the results.

[General Questions and Answers] MogoGLC:
Yes! Thank you! That's great. It turned out that's what it was. Last night i installed net guard to watch what was being downloaded and why. I was able to look at what connections the Download Manager app was making and I saw it reaching out to crashreport.bluebox.com multiple times. Turns out after i Uninstalled bluebox those "error Report" messages stopped appearing. Thank you so much for your help! I'm glad i left a post on XDA :)
[General Questions and Answers] wverkist2:
Confirmed: after uninstalling Bluebox Security Scanner from my wife's S6310N the ErrorReport downloads have disappeared.

Some of those went on for more than 30 minutes!

On my own I was stuck.

When I tapped on the ErrorReport notification and then on AppInfo, it said: Download Manager.

I found many logcat entries of this type:

D/BatteryStatsImpl( 452): ++++++xy WakeLock start : pid=3346, name=, type=0, tid=1833, pid=452, pName=null

I/DownloadManager( 3346): Initiating request for download id = 178 with mAllowedNetworkTypes = -1 forP2Pbit = 8194

followed by

W/DownloadManager( 3346): Aborting request for download 178: got 503 Service Unavailable, will retry later FinalStatus = 194

But I am not even sure if those are related.

Kind regards,

Wim

[General Questions and Answers] myrthain:
The app Bluebox Wifi Protector is similarly affected and causes the identical problems.

Since it stopped working in Android 6.0.1 anyway it was a small step to delete it from my device (an OPO). Everything's fine now again, the Error-Report-thing stopp reoccurring since more than a day now.

Thank you for this thread's solution.

Edit: Unfortunately that was not the expected solution. The problem is still there. The other bluebox security scanner that has been mentioned in the thread beginning is not even installed.
[General Questions and Answers] skyhirules:
I hadn't had the problem since I uninstalled security scanner my friend. It must be some app causing the issue. You need to check which apps where recently installed or updated.
[General Questions and Answers] myrthain:
It probably was another BlueBox App I still had: Trustable by Bluebox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bluebox.trust

At least that's how it looks like after several hours, tests and multiple restarts. Can't tell what Bluebox was doing there but it really got on my nerves.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] JohnOffline:
hi,

I got a XDA mini. The battery cover is actually firmly attached to the phone. But everytime I touch or slightly slide the batterycover the xda turns off. So it became almost unusable (take it out of the pocket - it turns off, trying to call - it turns off)

Now I figured out that there is a tiny switch next to the battery (on the right side). Obviously it became too sensitive. I tried to tape it - it didnt help

Does anybody know how to avoid turning it off when you slide/open the battery cover? (I guess its like one of the hardware-buttons, can you turn them off? Registry?)

Or can anyone provide another solution?

I really need help - the phone is unusable.

tnx for any answer
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] eviltart2:
simple , find a tooth pick that has a sharp point (easy to break toothpick) pok the switch ( lower space between the switch and its base. ) and snap the toothpick to make the switch in on direction ( upward) . you can use small paper and stik into the gap use puller , dont use metal object. it will coz short to your board. and i thnk ders no way program can overwrite it. you cant do programing if your computer is unplugged.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] JohnOffline:
Are you sure there is no software way to disable it? I just thought of somewhat like "Buttonx = poweroff", like the Camera button.

Cause I wonder what happens if the switch breaks off ... Guess you cant turn it back on then.

I dipped into the registry - and there is a button-section, but i dont have a clue what those strings are for.

Well - if there is no other way - then ill try it with the tooth pick
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] JohnOffline:
I tried it

it worked for about 4 weeks but now its the same thing - i gues there is sth like a loose contact.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] iRiKi:
im facing the same problem: yes, it sux. how in the hell HTC had that stupid idea to put a power off button contacting with a cover, and above that, it's a tiny little switch, so prone to become damaged!! GRRRR :mad: :mad: :mad:

I have an AT&T S7 Edge and use the Next Radio App on my phone with no issues. When I travel to Canada with my phone, the FM app won't work any more.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce666:
Hey guys ;)

So, I decided to flash Xtreme Music MOD on my XZ2 on CM12.1. SeLinux is set to Permissive, downloaded LP/MM/N 7.2 Version. Then I flashed via TWRP Installer TWRP 3.0.2-0 and rebooted to recovery.

In recovery I flashed zip with this mod, then wiped Cache and Dalvik and rebooted.

After reboot phone stucks at SONY splashscreen, Im able to get into recovery and able to get into flashmode and fastboot. I made dirty flash of CM12.1 and GApps, it works now, but I'm unable to flash this mod.

Any ideas what am I doing wrong?

On e.g. ExistenZ it was working perfectly.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninety-9 SE-L:
I just got a 128GB SD card and I decided that it is a good idea if I encrypt the SD card, since the device is already encrypted. I didn't encrypt my last card, just for the record.

Anyway, I'm familiar with how Android Encryption works, I know the risk, I backup my phone regularly, and I know that putting the SD card DIRECTLY into another device or PC is not an option, anymore. Only my G4 can read/write to the SD card while it's encrypted.

Problem is this, I ASSUMED that so long as the SD card is in the phone and the phone is plugged into my PC, I could make file transfers between the SD card and the PC (the phone would handle the encryption process). No such luck. I have no way to transfer files between SD card and PC, unless I decrypt manually.

Any suggestions?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] secretsubscriber:
I just can across this same issue last week and have been hunting for an answer with no luck. Have you found any?

I though i could move files around internally and the OS would handle decrypting the files as they went from the SD card to the internal storage. I was a bad assumption. I want to encrypt the SD Card, but I cant move files onto or off of it.

Does anyone know of a theme in the Samsung theme store that doesn't overwrite the icons? I'm looking for a UI/Dialer/Quicksettings change, but I use Unicon and every theme I've tried always takes over the icon theme I want installed.
[Android Themes] Tulsadiver:

Thank you that did work, the folder had "appicon" in the name, "lock" I think gets rid of the lockscreen skin. Thanks again
