Warez is software that has had its protections removed.

Luckypatcher would be a tool used for hacking software.

Accuracy is important. You'd think people would know better than to post it here.

From a philosophical standpoint are adblockers also verboten? They allow one to bypass the advertising that devs use to feed themselves. Or their coding addictions.

Hey guys,

Been reading a lot that the lg g5 charger is only quick charger 2.0 compatible. I happened to have a Zenfone 2 fast charger that does give more juice than the stock charger, though I'm not sure if it's quick charge 3.0 compatible.

Charger gives 2 amps for both 9V and 5V. Is this compatible? I'm not too sure, but I recall the qc3.0 chargers have 5V at 3 amps.
[LG G5 Accessories] srimay:
Yes. . Stock charger is 1.8 amps. At 5v. It will work. Phone is not shipped with 3.0 charger. I use the 2.0 chargers that came with my s6 edge. It think those are 2.0 amps and work with no issues

Installing issue elipsis 7

favorite

OK so I typically can dig around and debug my Android issues myself but seam to be having a rare (or possibly unique) problem. So as many of you are probably aware the ellipsis 7 has very little storage space and I recently decided to try and remedy this with app2sd only to find I had insufficient memory for the app. So I went and cleared some space and same thing. Eventually I cleared just about everything for a grand total of 1.5 gigs of freed space, and sure enough same error. So I decided to try and install it third party (not from GP) same thing. Here's where things get unussual sensing this was likely a false error message and there was another reason for the error i began to reinstall my apps. However some of these apps that were already on my ellipsis to start gave me the same error while other installed just fine. There seams to be no correlation between the apps that won't install. I'm thinking it my have something to do with permissions but can't find anyone that had the same problem. My ellipsis is rooted so I am open to root options here. (as long as the app loads lol) appreciate the help guys.
[XDA Assist] AJPuzon:
I just wanna ask what is the permissions of the file recovery which is located in dev folder?

Here's the story:

I downloaded Flashify from the Play Store, thinking Flashify is more reliable than my old installed working RashR, after i flashed by stock recovery to just get back a warranty just in case, after things just got hell, i tried rebooting into recovery using rashr but it failed then i flashed my PhilzRecoveryusing Flashify but it seems to be taking longer than rashr so i exited and tried flashing through RashR, but it gives me this error: Execute Failed, i'll provide the screen shots later, cause i do not have access to that phone right now. Before i flashed a recovery in Flashify, RashR still just works but now its not working anymore. Is there any of you reading this also experienced this kind of error in RashR.

An explanation would be a great help. :crying:
[XDA Assist] AJPuzon:
Actually its okay now, thanks for your fast help, it is Starmobile Turbo, which is a local phone so you cannot know what it is, but im lucky, after flashing again the PhilzRecovery, it seems to be working again, and im not stucked in stock recovery, i tapped the outside of dialog box while it is flashing and i pressed the reboot recovery, and my Philz recovery appeared instead of my stock android 3e recovery, im really sorry if i disturbed you but thank you for fast response. :o:D

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] stevevetter:
After I took the just pushed-out VZW update, I have this obnoxious new ad-driven app in front of the stock Galaxy lockscreen. It is Blue with a BIG battery on it, an ad for an app and a 'slide to unlock' at the bottom. When I do that I just go to the stock lock screen. I don't know if this is some new bloatware that was pushed out, or if the update turned on something in an app I installed. Anybody recognize something similar to what I'm describing?

Re: Moving apps

I am about to help my husband root his 8.4 Tab Pro. But before I even do this for him, I need to know if I'm wasting my time.

What he wants is to be able to move his apps to his micro sd card. He says he doesn't have any room on his tablet.

So is that possible to do, once rooted?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Ichijoe:
Apps will have to be re-downloaded from the Play Store Store assuming he had gotten them there. In the possible case of Amazon Apps, you'll need to get it from them.

But, it sounds to me like you'd want to look for Titanium Backup, which should help you setup that task

I have no clue as to which version ot the Tab Pro you might have T320 (WiFi), or the T325 (LTE).

Either way, if your husband will somehow require the Knox (Security functions), of that Device.... STOP NOW!

Rooting to replace the Recovery, or OS WILL PERMANENTLY TRIP THE KNOX FLAG. Thus rendering Knox Security useless.

Assuming there is anything worth backing up it might well be inside there. And the ONLY TIME you have to back it up is before you trip the flag.

Once tripped there is no going back ever, and as I stated Knox will be dead to the Device, along with any hosted data that was part of it

Otherwise I wouldn't be to pressed about his Apps...
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] ms.journie:
Thank you for this info!

I just asked him if he uses his knox security, and he says he doesn't because he has bit defender and malwarebytes. So since he doesn't use that program I guess I can go ahead and proceed.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Ichijoe:
I'd like to think I'm up on most thing security wise. But, I'm not aware of those Apps. being on Android. Specifically MicroSoft's Bitdefender.

To describe what knox is (besides a means to void ones warranty), its a very secure business ordinated front end, that only come into its own when the Employer

also has a knox backend server running, to control it.

So long as thats NOT the case... Flash it!

If on the other hand it might be, I'd advise against it, as you can never go back from a Knox 0x1 state.

It will also (On newer Device that support it), brick up things like Google Pay.

Thankfully the Tab Pro does not have that feature to lose.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in50mn14c:
Hey Guys,

I'm having to RMA my first Nexus 6P because the bluetooth and wireless modules seem to be malfunctioning. I've already got the new device, but using the built in "Set up nearby device" crashes on both phones at the password entry portion. I've set up the new phone without an account and downloaded all the security updates to bring them both in line, but "Set up nearby device" still crashes.

I'm looking for methods to back up all my files, and if possible app configurations. Typically I would have used an app like Titanium, but all of the ones I have require root to do their jobs, and you can't root without unlocking, which wipes all the data I'm trying to save.

Any suggestions/workarounds?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vboyz103:
you are pretty much limited to if app does allow backup of data. Some apps are written so that you can't backup it's data for security reasons as far as I know, such as Facebook etc. In any case, look into adb backup command.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] kkfuti:
hi guys,

I'm having some problems from time to time with the conecction between my p3300 Artemis Vanilla ROM 1.0. and the parrot 3200LS.

the problem is that when I turn on the car and the bt connection is set automatically the parrot appeas as if I was in a call.

if I finish the call still the p3300 and the parrot are linked becuase I cannot reproduce the radio or the CD's ("phone" appears in the display of the car).

if I turn off and on the car, when the bt connection is set again happend the same.

The problem is solved only if I make a soft-reset, so the problem is in the pda and I never had this before with WM5.

any idea?

thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] shawndh:
I had a similar problem earlier this week with my Parrot CK3000. But the problem only happened after I tried to download and use MS Voice Commander software. I tried to uninstall and go back to default Speed Dial but it wouldn't work correctly anymore with the Parrot kit or my headset. The software changed my registry settings - couldn't figure out how to fix it, so I had to hard reset.

But, right after a ROM upgrades and hard resets, I get the "phone" condition you described. It's like, the BT channel is just open, waiting for a command. The way to fix it is just to make a phone call and then hang up using the Parrots "end call" button. Then everything goes back to normal and this does not happen again. I only get this if I hard reset or ROM upgrade. Try it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] audit13:
You flash the recovery designed for your phone. Each supported version of twrp has its own version and download.

Root gives you access to system files, similar to an administrator account in Windows.

I have always a trained root on my Samsung phones (s2, s3, s4, nite2, note3), nexus ( Galaxy, n4, n5) by flashing supersu from a custom recovery. You can have a custom recovery without root.

I'm in Canada so I don't have access to a AT&T Note 4 which has a locked bootloader so TWRP is not even an option although root may be an option.

Choetech 10400 QC 3.0 Enabled Battery Pack:

Overview

Choetech took their old QC 2.0 battery and made some improvements to it while also adding QC 3.0.

Ports/Charging:

There are a variety of ports offered on this battery which serve different functions. First the battery can be charged on of two ways: you can either use a microUSB cable (like the one included in the box), or a lightning cable if you happen to also have an Apple device. Both cables will allow the battery to be charged at 5V/2.4A; however, I found the battery charges via QC 2.0. I tested it via my multimeter which show the battery drawing ~9V/1.8A which is closer to 16.2 W of power. I’m not sure why the battery doesn’t list this as an input because it certainly takes all of the power.

On the output side you are given the option of using 2 USB-A standard ports. One of these ports will charge at 5V/1A which is also known as QC 1.0, while the second one charges via QC 3.0. The voltage range is variable as is the current. The ranges for the QC 3.0 port are: 5V/3A (15W), 9V/2A (18W), 12V 1.5A (15W). All of these outputs are consistent with the QC 3.0 standard which allows the voltage to step in smaller increments thus reducing the overall heat and increasing charging efficiency.

Design/Build Quality:

This battery has a very nice, solid aluminum housing that really makes it feel nice. The top/bottom edges are chamfered, while the sides are black anodized aluminum. This is the perfect pairing for the HTC 10 given its nice chamfered edge, and similar aluminum construction. I have another Choetech battery pack that is equally well made and feels like a tank. I don’t foresee this battery buckling under normal use, or even some drops given how well made it feels.

To use the battery, you first need to hit the power button that in turn lights up a series of 4 bright LED’s. These LED’s will indicate the current charge left on the battery while also looking great. When you are charging the battery pack the LED indicating its current level of charge will blink as an indication of how much power is currently store in the battery.

What’s in the Box:/B]

-Choetech 10400mAh power bank

-microUSB cable

-Documentation

Charging Multimeter test:

Charging Ports:

Here is breakdown of the voltages/rates the battery can be charged at:

Output: 5V/1A (5W)

QC 3.0 Port: 5V/3A (15W), 9V/2A (18W), 12V/1.25A (15W) [/SIZE]

Battery I/O Rating Pictures

Given the battery’s two output ports, you will be able to charge two devices simultaneously, although I would only use it to charge one at a time personally.

Overall This is a great small QC 3.0 enabled battery pack that will keep everything working on the go. I own battery packs from EasyACC, Choetech, Aukey, and Anker, but this one is still one of my favorites for what it offers. I plan on using this battery to charge my HTC 10 while at school, and on the go in general.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Phil750123:
Nice review, I've done a similar thing on amazon, also found the charger to be great. I did a quick charging test and it was averaging around 1500mA, whereas the htc one main plugs charger was 1600mA, so to charge that close to a main plugs socket is great. Specially for a portable charger where you want it charging fast!
[HTC 10 Accessories] Pilz:
This battery will output the rated (18W) if the phone can handle that much current. I posted a picture in my review using a multimeter to measure the power (16.8W at the moment I took the picture). I don't know what the phones peak input current is, but I know it's higher than than S7 Edges 15.03W input, and Neuxs 6P's 15W. I've seen similar ranges of 15-17W using the stock HTC charger which means this battery is outputting the proper current for the phone to charge as fast as it possible can via the QC 3.0 port.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Lurien:
How many full charges can it deliver to the phone?
[HTC 10 Accessories] Phil750123:
Just over 2 from my experience, but that's 0 to 100 so not bad.

It is damn fast though for a portable charger. For example I've gone from 33% to 100% in a little over an hour
[HTC 10 Accessories] Lurien:
Not bad at all.. that's like having 2 spare batteries and change... I'm considering getting this. Thanks for the feedback.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Pilz:
If you account for the efficiency external batteries have (not very high due to heat losses) the 2 full charges is about right in my experience.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Phil750123:
Yup when looking at mah of portable batteries I always take off about 30%. Assuming it's good quality that about what you get. I. E in this case 10400mah you get about 7000mah actually usable. Obviously that goes down with time too.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Pilz:
Plus when quick charging you could lose some of the ~7000 you might expect, regardless of that I still find it to work as well as my other 1000mAh battery packs.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Haldi4803:
Things I miss in your review:

How much does it cost, and how are competitive products placed?

How long does it take to charge the Battery with a QC2.0 Charger?

How much is really inside?

You'd have to use a constant 1.5A load and check How long it lasts... ?

Except from that. Nice review Thanks.
[HTC 10 Accessories] dottat:
I recently added this one to my arsenal and now prefer it over others I have. I can charge it off anyone's charger i'm with on longer trips so cable management is nill. Love the fact you can tell it's in qc mode versus normal charge mode.

And it states that output is 12V x 1.5A what actually implies 18W... ?

Sent from quite brutal hTc 10 ..
[HTC 10 Accessories] Andyw2100:
Well, not exactly nil, right? You can charge from micro-usb or from lightning, which is a great addition, but you can't actually charge from the cable you're most likely to be carrying with your HTC 10, which is a USB C cable, right? I looked at the description on Amazon, and thought that was an interesting omission.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Pilz:
It can be charged via a microusb cable that is included. Since they are as common as can be I don't see how that would be an issue. I have piles of them laying around, spare one in my car etc.. I know it's not ideal to have more than one type of cable, but I use them to charge my S7 Edge, Bose QC 20's , LG Tone Platinum's etc.. that's why I personally have them just about everywhere. I also have a time of Type-C, C-C/A-C cables because of my Nexus 6P. Ideally I would like 4 type c poets for in/out but no one makes anything close yet.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Andyw2100:
I never suggested it would be hard to find a cable to charge the battery pack.

But dottat wrote that cable management issues were nil, so I was merely pointing out that for those of us with HTC 10s that really isn't quite the case, since if we want to travel with a single cable, the single cable we are going to travel with -- a USB C cable -- can't charge the battery. This means bringing two cables, at a minimum.

This was not a huge complaint or indictment of the product. I was just making a point. The product would be even better if it could charge via a USB C cable.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Pilz:
I completely agree, unfortunately there are only a handful of battery packs that support QC 3.0 and even fewer that offer Type-C (if any yet) on top of that. The interesting part is their QC 2.0 version has a Type-C port to charge the battery along side the microusb. I'm not sure why they changed that (maybe to appeal to a larger crowd), but it's odd nonetheless. I can post a picture of it later today since its 0103 right now so the lighting wouldn't be ideal to see it.
[HTC 10 Accessories] jauhien:
But within a large company someone is definitely with iPhone - what somehow suggests carrying one more cable.. ?

I opted to carry my original hTc 10 Type C cable and a small interface which converts Type C into the lightning connector.. ?
