[HTC One A9] NuShrike:
For me, I've found that though TWRP backups take more time, and DON'T preserve internal storage, it's still the most reliable and consistent way to backup especially for OTAs.

I've previously tried FlashFire restore but it doesn't seem to restore internal storage as claimed; deal-breaker.

The real problem is we want OTA automation to:

1) disable lock-screen (pattern or fingerprint) so emergency restore of /data don't fail to unlock after boot

2) restore OEM recovery

3) flash OTA and let it do its things of updating /system, /boot, etc

4) reflash SuperSU before normal system boot so /boot doesn't try to re-encrypt /data

5) restore whatever the original recovery was

6) boot

The problem always is catching the step between 3 -> 4 in some automated way. If the OTA goes all the way through, /data is encrypted and so time is wasted to go back to recovery after full-boot, wipe /data, restore /data, lost internal storage contents and PICTURES. If pattern-lock / finger-print lock is not disabled (1), you won't be able to get past the lock screen as it won't recognize the correct lock-pattern nor fingerprint. Solution is to adb shell in, and move/delete some files as root. PITA and I don't think FlashFire does this.

If you did manually restore /data, then /data is corrupted for some apps that use it such as Waze, LINE, KakaoTalk, Whatsapp, etc where they can't write to their data directories anymore. A reinstall of the app is the only way to fix it.
[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
The solution for problem 1 can be handled in TWRP. The files can be deleted via TWRP's file manager or the built in terminal, which may be easier for some people.

Also, the solution for the corrupted data and internal SD is to create an image of the data partition (just like the system image backup option). This can be done via dd in TWRP or adb. It requires a large amount of storage and it takes longer, but I've had to do it, since I use VIP Access by Symantec for work. A normal file based backup in TWRP breaks that app. This also keeps the pin/fingerprint data intact.

If we could have that implemented in a user friendly manner, that would be great, but I'm sure CaptainThrowback and Chainfire both have bigger issues to deal with. I could probably figure out a solution, but the work wouldn't be worth it for my own benefit, since I'm fluent with the Linux command line.

Is there a way to change the background of the lockscreen ?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] bryanus:
The only way I've found is to use an app such as QuickPic, etc. that will let you view your desired wallpaper and then 'Set As..." save option to set it as the Lockscreen.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] banjara:
The stock Gallery app and File manager itself allow us to set a lock screen wallpaper on Oxygen OS.

Open an image there and you will see Set As option at the top right. It will give you a list of options to which you would want to assign that image

I have been looking for hours on either software or a hack to make the camera(video) stay on when I am on the main screen. In essence have the video record in the background. I have a lot of memory and like to use the video camera for recording conversions and classes, but I would like to be able to have the camera stay on while in other areas of the phone. The camera program will run in the background but it shuts off the record ing once I leave it. Is there software or better yet a registry hack to make it continue recording? I have been searching with no luck. There has to be others out there that want to record without somebody picking up the phone and knowing you are, or simply use other features of the phone while recording.

I know this is a prehistoric thread that I am bumping (almost three years worth) yet this problem is very irritatingly present on my HD2.

THe builtin camera app won't record in background, settings hkcu\software\htc\camera\deactivate to 0 won't change anything, and same doies changing all the relevant values in the registry altogether.

I tried coolcamera, it has a very spartan interface unusable with a purely touchscreen device, I had to popup LMT's controller to navigate and start recording, but when I did the app didn't work anymore.

So my question is the same, is there currently a background video recording app out there? Seems to absurd to me there isn't, and I can't keep my screen always on while recording video from my car windshield; either that or I'd prefer having recording in background while I navigate with GPS...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Peikko:
Just some minutes ago my S7 froze because of Focus Gallery App. I don't exactly know what it did but the phone did not respond any more.

So pressing the power button did not bring back the phone either. After searching for a bit I found a way to simulate a bettery disconnect by pressing Volume Down + Power Button.

The Phone came back up and displayed the initial boot logo. Also the blue LED is on. But nothing happens from here on. I do not come to the "Samsung" boot animation and the phone simply

does nothing. Retriying Volume Down + Power Button doesn't seem to help too. I tryed all button combinations but nothing brings the phone back.

I also cannot enter the recovery menu. So no chance to reset to default settings.

I am running a stock Android on the phone. Nothing was done by me. No custom ROM, no root, just plain Samsung Android.

Is there sill something I can do?

Edit: I just got into whats seems to be ODIN Mode??? Can I do something from here?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] bawheid0:
I have the S7 Edge (rooted, custom ROM) and it's running fine. My girlfriend's regular S7 is having the same issue though.

When she plugged it in to charge last night, she checked it a few minutes later at which point the phone had (started to) reboot. The blue notification LED was on and the screen had frozen at the 'SA' from the 'SAMSUNG' startup logo. Forced a reboot with down+power, resulting in just the blue LED (no logo this time). Phone was unresponsive (couldn't force a reboot again) so left the battery to drain overnight. The phone is completely dead today even after charging - no LED, no boot, no anything.

I'm not sure if she had the phone scheduled to perform an update overnight and it froze halfway through, but that would be my first guess. So far, no fix.

Hello everybody,

I received my OP3 yesterday and I'm quite happy with my phone, but I'm having an worrying problem with the USB connection. Indeed, I cannot seem to get the USB connection working in MTP mode. In fact, I cannot get anything else working than charging mode.

Things I already tried :

- Enabling USB debugging

- 3 different cables (OP2, OP3, no brand)

- Manually choosing MTP mode in developper options

- 2 different computers

Maybe the most worrying thing is that the Windows device manager doesn't see any device when I connect the phone, not even a device with an error...

I'm really starting to think this is a hardware problem :(

Please, HELP ! :crying:

Connect your device with Android Debugging enabled to your PC

Open Device Manager of Windows from System Properties.

Your device should appear under 'Other devices' listed as something like 'Android ADB Interface' or 'Android Phone' or similar. Right click that and click on 'Update Driver Software...'

Select 'Browse my computer for driver software'

Select 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'

Double-click 'Show all devices'

Press the 'Have disk' button

Browse and navigate to [wherever your SDK has been installed]\google-usb_driver and select android_winusb.inf

Select 'Android ADB Interface' from the list of device types.

Press the 'Yes' button

Press the 'Install' button

Press the 'Close' button

Now you've got the ADB driver set up correctly. Reconnect your device if it doesn't recognize it already.

It worked for me try it :)

Hi,

It's a windows driver problem (the phone is OK):

1. Switch your phone to MTP mode

2. Go to windows device manager: there is a "unknown device" or something similar

3. Right click on it

4. Click on "driver update"

5. Choose "search a driver on my computer"

6. And click on "Choose a driver in list..."

7. Select "

USB

MTP device" or something similar (not simply "MTP device")

That's it, you have "internal storage" in your windows explorer
