[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Mark Greene:
Hi,

First time im writing here, so sorry for any misstakes, i have been reading this forum for years now, but never asked for anything here, until now.

Superman Rom is set to NO encryption, but i want to activate this, how do i do that?

And is it possible to have an option in the installation menu to activate it on installation?

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Mark Greene:
Thanks for reply.

The problem is that i always do unroot and try to encrypt the phone, maybe i should have said that earlier, it dosent work "always" sometimes, and sometimes not.

The latest build dosent work at all, if the phone vibrate directly after you activated the option encryption, then you already know that its failed!

The only kernel i manage to get to work (earlier release) is 1.8.1.

The latest i have been trying is 1.9.3, and as always ONLY the original kernel "works" but this time it dosent work at all, well, it works but the encryption gives status FAILED, reset phone! and some other messages about stopping this and that, so something is wrong.

I have changed rom totaly now until SuperMan rom is fixed, i like that rom but its to much of problems, and encryption is what i has as number one priority!

Regards

My daughter dropped her Galaxy S5 in water, and now the screen is black. The phone works otherwise. I want to do a factory reset before I send it anywhere but nothing is working. I have tried using Kies but it won't do it. It finds the phone but won't let me reset it. Is there another way to do a factory reset when you can't see the screen?

ETA she had data off because she was in Italy at the time of the drop so we can't use Android Device Manager.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFaultx:
Hey guys. I've been highly considering this phone to replace my note 3. I currently have unlimited data on Verizon, don't plan on losing it. Have a few questions.

-Are there any limitations using this phone on Verizon?

-How do I get a sim card for it? 3rd party retail stores?

-Any significant things I should be aware of?

-If at some point I want to switch to Sprint, can I use the same phone?

Thanks guys appreciate the help
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfmman:
I am currently on Verizon and have had no issues. I used same sim card that I had in the Note3, just had to trim the card to fit. :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattyb132:
Hi, I use this phone on Verizon and as far as I know you will be able to get a sim from any of Verizon's retail stores. It activated on the first try using the meid and the sim's iccid. This phone will also work on Sprint without any issues.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RED ZMAN:
saying that there are no issues isn't exactly right, I have mine on Verizon and for one the visual voicemail does not work.. There's also no way to get it to work.

There are some work around you can do to get visual voicemail with Google Voice, but if you want to use HD voice you have to turn those off.

The My Verizon Mobile app does not work on here, and the Nexus version that they made for the Nexus 6 does. Or at least it would if you are willing to go and change to one of their new plans. They actually have now pay wall the Nexus My Verizon Mobile app behind a plan change. If you don't want to change your plan, you cannot log into the app anymore.

Other than that no problems whatsoever for me. You can go get a SIM card if you want at any local Verizon or you can call Verizon explain to him what's going on and will send you one for free.

This is really a world phone, you can take it anywhere. I took mine with me on vacation to Belize earlier this year and used it just fine down there.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFaultx:
I'd rather not cut my card, because I don't think I'm that graceful where it won't get messed up. But at Verizon they can activate the sim, and I should still be able to keep my plan?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackwrx02:
The majority of this post is correct and exactly my experience, except that you CAN have HD calling and Google voice for voicemail. I use it daily and have no issues. This was originally thought to be true but has since been proven to work.

I got my sim from a company owned Verizon store. They did give me a little grief saying if its not recognized by their system they can't activate it, but I verified on their site before-hand that it is recognized and they looked it up to find the same thing.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RED ZMAN:
So you have Visual Voicemail working with HD voice also working?

How did you do that?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
No he said HD and Google Voice.

I actually prefer GV over Verizon VVM.

I get a text with the VM contents. No need to even check VM.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackwrx02:
Exactly right. Seems to have a better grasp of the content over the VZW option as well.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RED ZMAN:
I prefer Google Voice visual voicemail too (getting the texts/emails), but everything I saw when trying to get HD voice to work said that they don't and can't work together. So again I ask, how do you get those working together? I know what it is, I had Google Voice's version of it working fine before.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I had no issues when I activated my 5X onto my account with unlimited data. My plan went unchanged. I simply walked into my local Verizon store and they activated a nano sim for my 5X. I moved over from a Verizon GSIII.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyg562000:
There's nothing special that needs done. Just do the normal setup of GV and done. I've had Google voicemail and HD voice since day 1 when the phone launched.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackwrx02:
This! I did standard setup and it worked fine for me with HD calling
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spotmark:
Same here, Google Voice and HD calling, no problems. That's on all three of the family 6ps with unlimited data.

I have this issue but unfortunately is official rom. I ll make a factory reset to see if it fixes something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] gaww:
You can speed it up by choosing what you don't want backed up - like media stored on your SD Card.

If you are having issues and do a factory reset, you may choose to not restore settings and limit it to only applications and and other user info on the phone besides what's on the SD card.

Go into preferences, set them up for what you really want, and then make the backup and see how it runs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] bibbycu:
I made a factory reset, unfortunately the issue is still present. I downloaded clean master to see if at least the app checks the storage and it didn't have any issue.

It's somehow frustrating. I received also the August Security Update. I thought that this might fix it but it didn't.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexxar_tc:
Hi all, I just got an S4 Mini to replace my S2 which finally gave up the ghost. The stock ROM is horrible, bloated, and has a toolbar slapped onto the browser that I'm pretty sure is spyware... So I decided to flash a custom ROM. However, a few things just don't work, no matter what ROM I try. I tried several versions of Cyanogen mod, both official and not, and an XOSP ROM. All of them show the same behavior; no sound at all ever, the battery indicator never updates until you restart, and the touch menu/back buttons don't work. It doesn't have vibration either.

I tried a different kernel as well, but it didn't improve things. Everything else seems to be fine though; all the radios work, cameras are fine. I tried the google, but I've not had any luck so far. Ideas?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCorgano:
My goal is simple: Send a command through ADB to bluestacks (which i got working) to FakeGPS (which Is responding) to set GPS location to a specified lat/long (part that doesn't work)

First, background info

my environment is bluestacks 2, with FakeGPS (this one) installed as system app using LuckyPatcher

Setting a location directly in FakeGPS does work corectly - Good

I saw this on the FakeGPS page linked above:

I tried it out with Tasker, and lo and behold, Tasker can indeed send intents to FakeGPS and FakeGPS will set the location correctly - Good

What I want to do is send an intent through ADB (source information here) so I can set the FakeGPS location inside bluestacks from a windows console window. I have gotten it to the point where FakeGPS will respond, but I cannot get it to go to the lat / lng I give it. IT always either does nothing, or goes to lat:0 lng:0.

Commands I have tried:

Connect to bluestacks:
adb connect 127.0.0.1:5555

adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell am startservice -a com.incorporateapps.fakegps.ENGAGE --ef lat 41.0050073D --ef lng -28.4530577D
adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell am startservice -a com.incorporateapps.fakegps.ENGAGE --ef lat 41.0050073 --ef lng -28.4530577
adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell am startservice -a com.incorporateapps.fakegps.ENGAGE -e lat 41.0050073D -e lng -28.4530577D
adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell am startservice -a com.incorporateapps.fakegps.ENGAGE -e lat 41.0050073 -e lng -28.4530577

adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell am startservice -a com.incorporateapps.fakegps.ENGAGE --ef lat 41.0050073D --ef lon -28.4530577D
adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell am startservice -a com.incorporateapps.fakegps.ENGAGE --ef lat 41.0050073 --ef lon -28.4530577
adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell am startservice -a com.incorporateapps.fakegps.ENGAGE -e lat 41.0050073D -e lon -28.4530577D
adb -s 127.0.0.1:5555 shell am startservice -a com.incorporateapps.fakegps.ENGAGE -e lat 41.0050073 -e lon -28.4530577

I've also tried a few other things, but none of them got any sort of response from FakeGPS. From what I read in the intent documentation and the blurb quoted above, one of these SHOULD work, but none of them do. However I KNOW that what I want to do is possible because Tasker can successfully set the location. Can someone help me get this working from ADB?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Rye-:
I sadly don't know exactly *what* is required to get intents to shell form..

(If anyone knows: Please enlighten us. Using tasker for all intents is a pain in the ...)

But.. you could use XPosed Edge's Export "as broadcast command" option and call that via windows.

Greetings;

I bought a Yoga 2-830F yesterday hoping I can install "Custom Roms" and have some sort of freedom as to Root,

unlocking the bootloader to only face disappointment!

I have searched this forum up & down to no avail, and most if not all the info that I need, are part of "closed threads"!

I have searched also other forums to no avail!

So now I'm deciding if I should send the tablet back to Best Buys or keep searching other forums in Asian countries to see if I can find

the necessary files for unlocking the bootloader and etc. over there!

Any help, info or suggestion is much appreciated.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wishx:
I have an Archer C7 wireless router with a USB hard drive connected to it that contains all my media. I have two linux boxes and two Windows machines that can see the share (\\192.168.xxx.xxx\volume1), but the nVidia Shield TV won't see it automatically OR let me enter the address manually. KODI and SPMC both surf to and find the share and media folders therein without problem, but the Shield will not natively see it.

When I try to enter it manually, it says "CONNECTION FAILED - null is not available". I don't know what it says by null except that it can't tell anything is there at all.

The only thing I can think of is that, in Linux, I have to use "sec=ntlm" to change the dedault security in the cifs/samba command in file /etc/fstab to get it to mount, but I can't set something like that in the Shield. Even if I remove authentication altogether, the Shield still doesn't recognize the share or even the 192.168.xxx.xxx address at all. They're on the same network. I should also mention that I can connect to the share from my Android phone, so I don't think it's something with the OS. Maybe...

At this point, I'm at a total loss to get this share connected to the SHIELD.

Any ideas?

On my last 5 speed tests using okala i was getting 0.2 to 0.3 mbps download and not much more upload. I have checked with other people and they are getting upwards of 20mbps on the same network.

[Networking] Mike7143:
I've seen articles/posts about reverse tethering (getting internet from PC to phone) and obviously regular Bluetooth and Wi-Fi tethering...

Say my home ISP service is down for some reason and I want to use some of my mobile data in the house temporarily.

Is there a way to get tethering setup so internet from mobile phone LTE gets sent out the USB, through a micro-USB OTG adapter, to a USB-to-Ethernet adapter, and then run an Ethernet cable from the adapter to my WAN port on my wireless router? Then all my wired and wireless devices can get internet access through the router so it handles DHCP and all that and the phone just tethers to the WEB interface of the router.

I know I can do the reverse of this, hard-wire Ethernet into my phone if for some reason I didn't have Wi-Fi or cellular connections. How about the opposite?

My phone is unlocked, rooted, and I'm pretty decent at editing config files if necessary!
[Networking] Mike7143:
More research shows maybe I'm better off using usb tethering to a usb port on the router and running dd-wrt. Or setting up router add a client bridge and using Wi-Fi tether instead of cable connection.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oniyuri:
Hi all,

It's been a few yrs since I've flashed a phone (the last being my SGS1 variant) and I'm very out of practice. That being said, I just need a little help in understanding how to flash my SGS4. So far, I've had this phone for yrs and I would've jumped to custom roms as I did normally but there was the whole KNOX debacle and I didn't want to do anything to damage my phone - while within warranty. I've been out of the loop for awhile, so I need a little help in my choices here.

My phone is still running on it's original software (that's right, I completely haven't updated in yrs), so it's a 4.2.2 and the build is I9505XXUBM4 (pre-KNOX). If I am going to root, I was thinking that I should use the method from this thread: [GT-I9505 + GT-I9505G] CF-Auto-Root. Would I be right in using this method or is there something better?

Secondly, I've only ever used CWM. I'm assuming the recovery to use currently is TWRP since I've seen it brought up in a good number of threads. Can I make a nandroid with TWRP the same way it was done with CWM or do I need to find another way to backup my data?

Lastly, this is the rom I'm leaning towards; [JDCTeam][6.0.1][9 July] The Android Open Source Project MOB30M. Could I just flash this on top of my stock or do I have to update first and then flash this?

For first you MUST update your phone, if you have root, update with odin on the latest firmware version and then flash flash recovery(cwm, twrp, philz) and flash the rom, because firmware request of the rom is android lollipop stock. Try cyanogenmod 13 nighty for this smartphone
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oniyuri:
Ok, so after I root the phone, can I go straight onto CM13 or do I still have to get lollipop first and then flash CM?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alessandro's:
Then you install lollipop stock, make root , flash recovery and then flash cm13
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Knox does matter once you're on a custom ROM.

Most content creators recommend to use the latest modem and bootloader in order to avoid problems.

You don't necessarily have to update the whole ROM to have the newest modem and bootloader, there are Odin flashable packages.

I don't know if CF-Auto-Root works with 4.2. I know it works for 4.4 and above.

As long as you do your wipes (this means system, data, cache, dalvik) you can flash anything over anything.

Yes, you can do nandroid backups, but TWRP and CWM backups are not compatible with each other. Also, TWRP has a problem with TouchWiz backups, meaning you can make and restore a TouchWiz backup, but it either won't boot or will give you lots of errors.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oniyuri:
Ok, so is there a way that I could at least get to lollipop w/o getting KNOX and have a nandroid that would work or should I just OTA all the way up to current and then root and flash?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Why are you so obsessed with Knox? I just told you that it won't be an issue on custom ROMs. There is no knox on custom ROMs. Knox is a Samsung thing. So, unless you plan on staying stock, there is no reason to be concerned about it. Even if you stay stock, there still is no reason to be afraid of it, it's just some security crap, and it won't affect you in any way. Why are you so afraid of it?

My device came with Knox pre-installed and it didn't do jack.

Just update if you want to update or flash a recovery (flashing custom ROMs doesn't require root, just a custom recovery) and flash your desired ROM.
