Did anyone else get an error blocking installation of the Samsung usb drivers?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] NotSoMiniGun:
I did not. If you have windows 7-10 it should automatically install them anyway. Unless ODIN doesn't see your phone, you don't need to install them.

im not in the US, so cannot do OTA etc, now we/you have root, can we now obtain a dump of PK2 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] raze5115:
I did on my brand new gaming laptop but I just switched to my desktop and it installed without any problems then I went a head with the rooting process with my desktop. What I thought was weird was the same custom odin I used on my pos desktop wouldn't pick up my phone eventhough it was in download mode on my brand new gaming laptop but when I tried it again on my pos desktop odin worked fine and picked up my phone no problem. The weird thing is they both run the exact same build of windows 10 only difference is my gaming laptop runs windows 10 home and my pos desktop runs windows 10 pro but I don't know why that would make any difference on any of this stuff though.

Rooted last night - for some reason root.bat acted like it worked the first time but when I rebooted my phone Super SU kept saying I needed to update the binaries, would offer an update but would fail. Also none of my root apps were working, so I figured something in the rooting process didn't date.

I ended up flashing the file with Odin again, then this time I factory reset the phone after this step, then ran the root.bat - no problems at all since!!! Looking into custom ROMs - but for now I have Xposed installed and stripped off all bloatware, increased battey life, etc!

I highly reccomend following the "added steps" towards the end of the guide to fix the general laggyness, wifi issues, and other issues associated with using this root method on the S7 Active.

After coming from the Galaxy Note 4 (which never got root), and waiting 6 months on this phone for root - it almost feels strange having it after 2+ years..... BUT I LOVE IT!

Here's the links I used for this - Make sure you use the custom .TAR file "NotSoMiniGun" posted on the second link and not the ones in the guide itself.

Hello guys. Is there any way after rooting to fix missing Data Connection toggle from the notification bar, and to be able to switch between internet connection types like regular S7's do, without using *#*#4636#*#*?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] NotSoMiniGun:
Thanks

Thanks for the extensive help, but I ended up having to flash back to PI2 and re-root to fix everything. Completely my fault lol. I appreciate the assistance.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] NotSoMiniGun:
Can you provide screenshots and a better explanation of what you are asking?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] raze5115:
has anyone noticed a bigger battery drain after rooting then before rooting? for some reason after rooting my s7a hits 12% battery left after just 11 hours vs before I rooted my s7a the battery could last 2 days.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] NotSoMiniGun:
If anyone has any good ideas on how to remove/hide the VoLTE and RCS icons from the statusbar, I would love to hear them. I have tried many of the ideas listed on the forums and random pages on the internet, but nothing seems to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] bandario:
Can't provide screenshots because it is a lack rather than a gain but long story short: AT&T have removed the connection type dialog from the phone meaning the phone will prefer 4G LTE even when there is a a 5X stronger 3G 850mhz or 2100mhz signal available right there.

This is a royal pain in the arse for those of us who have purchased the handset overseas where regional coverage is all 3G.

You can use *#*#4636#*#* to manually choose 'prefer WCDMA' but there is something fairly screwy afoot; even though I'm pretty sure it works, you still get the 4G icon (not 4G LTE) and I have still seen it use 4G LTE in some situations.

Meanwhile, I'm away for the holidays and I just realised that I am going to come home to the greatest christmas present of all: ROOOOOOOOOT!! So stoked. Well done Activefan and Notsominigun and whoever else is responsible!!! Can't wait.

Not sure that this is enough to get custom roms happening but even root and xposed is enough to do most of what I've been missing. Backed the right horse :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] miniminus:
bandario to gain back some control for data toggle, in the quick setting buttons, you can use

goodlock app from samsung .. if you back a few 10s of pages we discussed it ...

but the basics, after installing and autoreboot, it changes the systemUI it uses to Goodlock, which is a much more stock look..

but be aware, once it reboots, it will be a very ugly purple colour which is its 'default' colour scheme, which CAN be changed, and highly customized, so dont worry, but you will mess around with 'routines' for hours !

(along with the quick settings, recent/running app panel/button too etc)

we just need hotspot toggle now ! ...

and TWRP without any kinda Knoxtrigger...

also... Does samsungPay still work ? (as i know android pay doesnt)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] NotSoMiniGun:
I added instructions for activating the Hotspot in the first post. Samsung pay will not work unfortunately.

When do you guys think a stable root will come out?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] NotSoMiniGun:
This is, essentially, an identical root to the S7/S7 Edge (Qualcomm Variant). As long as you follow the provided instructions carefully, I would consider this a very stable root.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] NotSoMiniGun:
Have you tried the app "Device Control" for cpu governing? What settings seem to provide best performance/battery life ratio for you, so far?

Also, I tried that method of removing the RCS and VoLTE icons. The file structure is slightly different than the T-Mobile or Verizon variants and the odexing prevents me from manipulating the files.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] jianghuangyi:
Succeeded with PE7 firmware. (I'm not using AT&T network, so no updates at all)

Thank you for all the work! :good:

BTW, I didn't do the factory reset, and all apps/settings remained after rooting, except for the wifi passwd.

Hi,

I have never owned a BT headset before, so I have some questions if you are willing to help me.

If I read some specifications (for example from Jabra BT8010), a BT headset could have 2 modes :

- Phone mode (mono)

- Music mode (stereo)

What is exactly the music mode? Does it mean that it controls Windows Media Player?

Or it has its own media player?

How if I want to play VIDEO (using Tcpmp for example), can I use the Music mode?

Mostly I will use the BT to watch movie and play games .... :)

PS: Do you use Jabra BT8010 with Kaiser? How is it?

Thanks,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] AndyME:
since i know how frustrating it can be not to get an answer..maybe you prefer a soso answer to no answer...;-):

i used to have a stereo headset nokia hs-12 or so...but this is already some time ago...

so the way it basically works: upon pairing it will say that it supports music and phone.

depending on the layout of the headset (and the achieved compatibility with the handheld device) you will be able to control some to most features of the media players in the device. like play, pause vol up vol down, FF, RWD.. my headset worked well with windows media player, also with resco radio..tcpmp i did not have at that time yet.

hope this gives you an idea.

Andy
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] GarJones27:
I think the difference is that the Phone Mode or Mono mode means that there is only ONE audio channel... suitable for making and receiving calls while the Music mode or Stereo mode means that it has TWO channels which is suitable for headphones because they have to channels.

Phone Mode BT devices can play your music but only out of one channel and in all cases Phone Mode BT devices only have one ear plug.

Music Mode BT devices can play your music or any sound for that matter out of both channels which is why they are in headphone form with two ear plugs.

MONO=1

STEREO=2

This is my take on this but please correct me if I am wrong as I would too like to get to the bottom of this.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] AndyME:
actually that is not correct.

the so called A2DP profile is AFAIK only supported by stereo BT headsets/headphones. a mono headset will NOT get any audio sound under normal circumstances. However one can tweak the registry -and there is also software that does it - in order to direct the audio output to the headset.the price for this being, that as long as this function is active, voice dialling from the headset will not work, since this is the function that is being used to switch the audio gate.

Now, in the case of the 8010 this should be different, since it is basically a stereo headset with a detachable 2nd earpice. this one should therefore always work in A2DP mode and therefore enable audio throughput without any further tweaks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] 3waygeek:
I just picked up a BT8010 yesterday -- my local Fry's had them half-price. Stereo performance is pretty good, but there's a bit of skipping (i.e. momentary dropouts of the audio). There's a firmware update available from Jabra -- that may help.

Haven't had the chance to use the BT8010 as a phone headset yet, so I can't address that.

Has anyone here used one of these?

I use my tablet for just about everything so I'm always worried about running out of space.

But with this I could add so much storage space with usb drives, and an sd card.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] BuHaneenHHHH:
I have been using OTG to transfer files from and to my galaxy devices and it is working very well

But the sad news is that our note pro cannot give enough power to portable HDD ( the ones i used were 1Tb and 2tb, on my note 3 and my note edge they work but not on the note pro)

You can connect flash memories and anything that consumes low voltage like a mouse or a keyboard or a flash memory
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] ElsaReyes:
I'm not looking to connect hdd's.

I already have planned what I'm doing.

First of all I'm gonna find some way to strap it to the back of the tablet case, and then, I got 1 for now, ultra fit usb flash drive, which will go in one of the usb ports.

I got a memory stick pro duo adapter which I can slot two of my micro sd cards into, and then stick it in the otg.

And then one micro sd card in an sd card adapter to put in the sd card slot. :3
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] ElsaReyes:
This thing makes no sense. It's great yeah, but it's weird, it can have three flash drives or usb devices running at once, but when it comes to cards of any kind, you can only use one at a time, even if one is in a usb adapter, it still won't allow two.

It makes no sense, usb all you want, but cards only one. Why?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] BuHaneenHHHH:
Maybe the adapter requires extra power that the note pro cannot give

Can you send a picture of what you have and how you connected them to the note pro?

I will try it and see if i am having similar issue

Sorry, just came across this post. Here are several methods I use; a 128Gb Sandisk USB 3 thumb drive [http://a.co/9OVzdu5 ] and a USB 3 OTA adapter [http://a.co/jfMs2Yq ] along with the 128gb micro card in the device. If you need terabytes, get a wireless battery powered portable hard drive [http://a.co/fzM9ZPi], it works on mine. I also had a spare 240gb mSATA card from when I replaced my laptop drive. I bought a case for it and use that - the tablet has enough power to use it. Finally, I have connected a self-powered 2 Tb desktop drive with good results via the OTG cable. It just takes a while when opening your file explorer. Last, but not least, you can connect to your NAS via WiFi [ I use QNAP, and have accessed it from everywhere that I've visited that had good inet speeds via the QNAP apps]
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] treetopsranch:
Do you have more info on QNAP? Where to get it for instance? Is it in the Play Store?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] rhricik447:
QNAP is a hardware vendor for Network Attached Storage units - look on Amazon or NewEgg. I got the empty 2 bay one and loaded some spare drives I had laying around so I have 2 Tbytes mirrored now. Their apps allow remote access for files, music and movies to their devices.

If you're reading this, I hope you can help me. :(

Recently, my tablet randomly disconnects to my home network. Because of that, I searched for a solution on the internet but I was dumb enough to follow a certain website's instructions to delete the following root directories:

data/misc/wifi

data/misc/dhcp

I had experience in modifying root files and taking advantage of root privileges but I can't believe I did this. :( I should've known better that deleting root files is dangerous and now my wifi won't turn on! Please help me... I tried replacing these files but no luck. I think I need the root files from the exact same tablet. If anyone of you has the same tablet as mine, please give me the files. Or if you're knowledgeable about what could work with my problem, please help me. :( I think factory resetting my phone won't work since I modified the root files itself, It's a lot of work of restoring my apps and settings.

Here is my tablet info:

Model: TOSHIBA AT7-B

Android ver: 4.2.2

Kernel ver: 3.0.36+

If you need more information, please tell me.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayk1080:
Hey all,

Let me start by saying that after searching a bit, I've come to the conclusion that there is no way to run the LG Quick memo app on non LG devices.

Here's the story:

The LCD-Digitizer on my G3 (D580) suddenly died. When the screen displayed, but was just unresponsive to touch, I was able to work around it by operating the phone via USB OTG cable and mouse. But suddenly, it stopped even displaying anything, which is frustrating because I took excellent care of it (no water damage/shock damage, always had it in a rugged case with screen protector). Anyway. I've switched over to a Huawei Honor 8, IMHO the most affordable flagship.

What I miss most from my G3 are the notes that I know I synced to an email address in the LG note app. Any ideas on how I can view those again without access to my G3? I can't afford to repair the screen because the part is so expensive!

Am I the only one with this issue? I'd appreciate any suggestions!

Thanks!
