[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moondroid:
Very old thread, but I've had exactly the same problem installing AdAway on the last 3 or 4 phones -- all but one running Nougat 7.0, the other on Oreo 8.1. This was when trying to install AdAway versions 3.1 and 3.3.something.

I finally got it to write hosts file updates using one of the following, not sure which was the key:

-- Installed version 3.2 which had been running problem-free on an old phone for years. The biggest difference is this older phone is running Resurrection Remix 5.8.3 (Nougat 7.1.2).

-- Before trying to update the hosts file on this fresh install, I went straight to AdAway preferences and set "Check for updates daily", "Enable webserver", and "Start webserver on boot". After making those settings I tapped Download Files and Apply Ad Blocking, and it successfully wrote to the hosts file.

Again I don't know which was the fix. It seems weird that version 3.2 would work when a version just before and after it didn't work for me. But of course it is possible that the version is the difference. It seems even more weird that those 3 little preference settings make any difference at all . . . unless it's just the act of writing changes to the AdAway app itself.

Before installing 3.2, using Root Explorer I checked permissions on the working phone and one non-working phone, for the systems and etc folders, and for the hosts file itself. (In all cases AdAway is/was set to use /systems/etc/hosts.) I also checked Android permissions in the Apps list. All permissions were exactly the same on both phones: 0755 for system, 0755 for etc, and 0644 for hosts. No permissions assigned via Android.

Hoping this bump will also get fresh attention from somebody who might know the details of a real answer.

Why the hell you trying to make some really old ass version of it work instead of installing the newest version? Lol

I've been using 4.2.7 and though its kind of weird on a fresh install I need to update and apply the hosts twice before searching for newer hosts comes back its up to date. But at least it works.

Wondering if someone could help me out. Been having many SMS issues, switched to ChompSMS, received a video that was blocked with a stage fright message covering it - didn't play it . Still continued to have SMS issue, so I switched to Textra, the video is still there, only this time it's showing as a standard video preview, with the play button on it.

Is there anyway to check for stage fright prior to playing the MMS? See pics.

[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Yes, we all already know (see the sheer number of articles and rants I've published on the matter) most Windows Mobile phones, Pocket PC’s and Smartphones alike, lack call recording capabilities: they, in most cases (the only exception is the O2 XDA Flame, which only records the remote party, not the local one), only record the local party. It’s only very few current Windows Mobile phones that do record both parties at a good quality; most importantly, the brick and not very well selling HTC x7500 (Athena) Pocket PC and the VERY incapable, albeit, at least, cheap HTC Oxygen (s310) MS Smartphone. (In addition, some O2 XDA and Asus Pocket PC phones are also able to record calls, but they are in no way so broadly distributed / widely used as HTC’s products.) I’m absolutely dissatisfied by HTC because their current flagship model, the Kaiser (the AT&T Tilt) doesn’t support call recording either (in addition to its other, numerous (!) problems and omissions.)

Now, over at MoDaCo, some decent tips have been published. They’re certainly worth giving a read. They involve quite a bit of additional work, but, at least, they let for recording your calls, should you really need to do this and you don’t want to get a call recording-capable, inexpensive, separate handset (for example, the Oxygen or an older Nokia Symbian phone) to do the stuff.

I like the moto voice trick but I find google app voice commands to be more responsive and especiallly working better offline I mean for exemple I wasn't able to set alarm offline in moto app while I could in google app

But "Ok google" won't work while the screen is locked so is there anyway to make it work while device is locked or to make moto app work better offline?? Thx in advance :)

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TnT_:
Download the latest twrp from twrp.me to your computer. Once you have that boot your phone to the bootloader - power and volume down. After that simply plug in your phone, open a cmd/terminal in the folder where the twrp-xxx file is. then run this.

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-1-angler.img

If that version doesn't work, try 3.0.2

That's my suggestion! Hope it works.

PS: The last time I was on Android N I had to decrypt. Not sure if that is still required.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiftr182:
When you see the Android lying on its back, you are in recovery mode. From there, your need to hold power and tap volume up. That will give you the different recovery menu options like install from adb, wipe, etc.

As it happened with me as well..

Just.. Press and hold the power button

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] y2kkingboy:
The "identify unsaved numbers" is hidden but available in all ROMs. It might not work in your country so they disabled it for you. To get the option do the follwoing:

1. Download Nova Launcher and install it.

2. Once installed, run it and add an activity widget by long pressing on the screen.

3. In the list of activities to choose from (they are in groups by applications) scroll down to the Phone app. There are three Phone apps. Choose the one with the most activities (I had 99 activities in it, you might get less or more)

4. Once you click the Phone app, the list of activities will collapse and if you scroll down touwill find the "Identify unsaved numbers". Click on it to save the widget.

5. Click on the widget and enable the option.

6. Remove Nova Launcher to get back to TW.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] EvoKnvl:

Reading up on it a bit more, it sounds like on some carrier versions, using Nova to enable doesn't change anything. Sounds like there is more involved with it.

[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don Carnage:
Hi,

I just received a phone of a friend that hit the floor a little bit too fast. Now it is cracked and there is just a black screen but the phone can still be turned on. As I don't want it to go to waste, it's still partially working and someone can probably make it whole again, I want to sell it. But for this I need the private data to be erased.

So a factory reset is my goal, but for some reason it doesn't work out. I tried the following (which I found somewhere around here but I can't find the thread right now):

1. Get into recovery

2. Press 3 times volume down + power

3. Press 7 times volume down + power

4. Wait for two minutes

5. Press power again

This should erase the data and reboot the phone. I tried it several times but for some reason it doesn't reboot and when I turn it on again it shows my friends user name.

After that I rooted the phone and installed TWRP which worked perfectly fine. But I think I made a mistake there as TWRP is touch only, isn't it? Do I need to download the stock rom and try the factory reset again or is there any other way I can go from here?

You can flash TWRP in Odin:

https://dl.twrp.me/ha3g/twrp-3.0.2-0-ha3g.img.tar.html (Exynos Note 3)

Odin: https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/Odin_3.12.3.zip

Samsung drivers: http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117

Enter download mode (VolDown+Home+Power), VolUp past warning screen, plug in device to PC

Launch Odin

TWRP tar goes in AP slot, flash while holding volume up + home.

Once you're in TWRP you can transfer all your stuff off your phone such as pictures, etc. MTP is magical.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suiken01:
Ok just tried getting into download mode and it was able to. but Odin, snapdragon etc all those are new to me. for the phone I pretty much just use it to call/text and have some apps. I don't tweak it or anything everything is stock. I googled those terms but all those are new to me!

But after I tried to get into download mode I pressed down to restart, and it doesn't do the bootloop anymore. it goes to screen of tmobile 4g LTE after the samsung screen and just stops there. (also still can't get into recovery mode)

what's snapdragon and exynos note 3, I got tmobile note 3. I think I still got 50% battery life left the last time that it was working, should I get all thsoe done before battery dies or no worries?

so what are we doing? are we using Odin to get into TWRP, then transfer my pictures etc to desktop? then is TWRP pretty much the stock phone default mode or? sorry I am totally new at this. have very little idea what all those mean.
