[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Segnale007:
Hello folks.

Sadly yesterday evening I had my beloved and in pristine condition Nexus 6 stolen when getting into the metro.

Phone is already off and no location available in find my Android. I know it is now gone anyways, nothing I can do about it.

I am temporary living in Mexico and here technology comes at a very high cost, approximately 30%+ of prices in US or EU. Also smartphones in general even when getting aged they seems to keep a very high price. For instance a new Nexus 6 32Gb would cost me from 9000 to 12000 Mexican pesos, which is equal to $450 to $650 USD.

Also I don't really trust on getting used stuff in this country. Lots of stolen or partially functional products.

My available and maximum budget right now is 5500 Mexican pesos which is equivalent to roughly $280 USD. The options aren't many really, plus I want a device that is community supported. From what I have seen so far this amount can get me either a Nexus 5X or a Moto G4 Plus. Which of the two would you guys recommend? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Pietro

[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
1. Did you updated using OTA?

2. Or did you do nothing and it stopped working?

3. Can you boot into Windows normally?
[Remix OS for PC] MalikShahrozAwan:
i did nothing and it stopped working

yes i can normally boot into my windows 7
[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
Just reinstall it then. It's quicker then troubleshooting.

You can back up the RemixOS/data.img file to some other partition -> Uninstall -> Install anew -> restore the backed up data.img to the RemixOS folder -> reboot into Remix.

I don't know how but your bootloader config got corrupted. Maybe you have badblocks in the drive filesystem. You can try:

Start cmd.exe as administrator.

Run this command but change X: to drive where RemixOS is installed:

chkdsk X: /f /r /x

Once it's done, make a screenshot/picture or save the contents of the console in notepad to show results to us.

Reboot into Remix and check if it helped.

I'm not sure where GRLDR is expected to be - on same partition as RemixOS installation, on disk C: or on the hidden windows boot partition. I don't know legacy boot that well.

It's very likely that badblocks are the problem. It's pretty common and it happens when Remix OS crashes or has bad power management - shutdown/restart causes immediate powerdown of device, even if it's in the middle of writing to disk.
[General Questions and Answers] harsh_vardhan:
I'm experiencing problem with my Xiaomi MI4 front camera. Everytime I capture a video from front camera, the resulting video is flipped horizontally. But capturing images from front camera just works fine, though rarely it flips image too, that happens cause of the angle we hold the camera to take the picture. And that can be fixed with apps like Pixlr. But the video...it really sucks. It gets flipped every f**king time, doesn't matter what the capturing angle has been. Please someone help fixing this bug!!!

Thanks in advance. ?

and now I just finished factory reset so theres almost no apps other than google related apps

but already my ram uses almost 700mb out of 1gb... is it normal? and can I still benefit from greenify or similar apps while I am very light user and doesnt install a stack of apps?

TIA

That is normal. 1gb is just about enough to run the os. Like you said only low end devices and knock offs come with such little ram. Only thing you can do is get a new device.

[Mi 3 General] 24likan:
I flashed MIUI 8 and i was highly disappointed with xiaomi. The user experience was very very bad.

ISSUES

1.Huge battery drain. For me this reason is strong enough to hate MIUI 8. Screen on time is pathetic to say the least. No Google play services wakelock or any 3rd party wakelocks.

2.Temperature.The phone is unusable after 5-6 minutes of continuous usage. While in kitkat with God's kernel i sued to use my phone continuously for 30 - 40 minutes without any issues.

3.Storage space. I lost 2 gb more. And that came under miscellaneous usage. So in kitkat i used to have around 12 gb usable space. But after upgrading to marshmallow i have hardly 10 gb available.

4.Wifi issue. Frequent wifi problems. Ex i noticed that sometime i was able to connect to a Hotspot but unable to access internet. But the same was possible with my brother's redmi note 3.He had no problem accessing the Internet.

NOTE-I did a clean flash. Full system wipe. And storage wipe too.

After facing all these issues i finally reverted back to kitkat miui 7.And with God's kernel my phone is a beast.

Marshmallow can wait. I am eagerly waiting for a Marshmallow supported MIUI custom kernel.

Guys plz share your views.

Hi,

I've had the s7 for a few weeks and it's been running fine.

For the last 2 days, it's been freezing and becoming unresponsive leading me to reboot it for it to become normal again. Sometimes it auto reboots itself.

I have realised that this mainly happens to my phone while I am using the Daily Mail app.

Any suggestions?

Running stock BTU firmware latest - I've tried a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Remove the daily mail app?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Alikhan821:
Well, I could do that but I use the app daily, it's been working fine for weeks.

It can either be something has become faulty within my S7 or an app update on Daily Mail has made it happen.

I've removed the Daily Mail app, deleted the cache and storage of it and re-installed it to no avail.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Yea, so remove it completely for a week and see if the phone still does it, if not, it's the app

Just had a thought, the Oculus Rooms app had a problem update recently causing these exact symptoms

Uninstall "Oculus Rooms" and see if that solves it, it's getting stuck in an update loop that never ends, killing battery life, heating phones up, and killing performance

You rebooting the phone likely temporarily solves it until it tries updating again

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
It's actually "Oculus Rooms" causing the problem, show System Apps in Applications manager, see if you can see it in there

Otherwise grab a package disabler from the play store and disable with that, don't need root, I use Package Disabler Pro
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Alikhan821:

If you don't have GearVR headset or used SideloadVR to enable it, it might not have been installed, not sure as I used SideloadVR to run it on mine

com.oculus.rooms

If you don't use GearVR, I'd freeze all the GearVR / Oculus stuff and see how you get on

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Alikhan821:
I don't use GearVR headset or SideloadVR and I still can't seem to find com.oculus.rooms

I can't seem to find an app that would freeze GearVR / Oculus stuff without root.

I can see however that Gear VR Service has used 22% battery since last charge which doesn't seem normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Yep, that's seems to be the problem then

This is what I use, no root needed

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro&hl=en_GB

Top right 3 dots menu > show system apps > search from top search bar for "Gear" and "Oculus"

Check their boxes to disable, done

I've just seen this:

hxxp://www.sammobile.com/2016/10/02/oculus-updates-app-to-fix-rapid-battery-drain-on-samsung-phones/

Will the update be pushed out automatically so I wouldn't need to disable anything?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Check for updates, see if it fixes it

If you're not using it, might as well disable it anyway, free up resources
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Alikhan821:
I don't know what I'm looking to update?

No updates are available in either Google or Galaxy play store and I can't seem to find the VR App.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Probably because you haven't enabled it with either SideloadVR or the Gear headset, so you can either use a package disabler and kill it that way, or use SideloadVR to enable it and update it that way

I don't have anything enabled on my phone to test different methods, until I get a GearVR, I disable all unnecessary services
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Alikhan821:
Do I just download Sideload VR via the play store and them run it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Reading the instructions would also be good

All the info you need is in this thread and on the apps description / google, instead of constantly asking questions, either disable it or update it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Alikhan821:
I've installed Package Disabler Pro and disabled everything with "Gear".

Hi there,

sorry, if this was answered before, but I couldn't find the correct answer:

After trying to flash a custom ROM (CMOD) I'm stuck now at the Cyanogen Mod boot animation.

If pressing "Power" button for a while the phone reboots, but gives me again the same boot animation (after ZUK logo).

[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KKaushal:
If the first time boot with the rom and gapps was okay, maybe you should try wiping /system, /data, /dalvik and /cache and reflash the rom again.. Since you were in stock cmos 12.1, I think it'll be better if you flash official cm13 first, and then jump to cm14 from there to minimize sensor issues such as with the fingerprint like you experienced.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahu.prashant:

There are many reasons for a bootloop. Start from scratch once again. Flash stock cos12.1 (or restore if you have a backup), flash cm13 from there after you load twrp, go from cm13 to cm14. I think this should be the way to go to avoid sensor issues. Once in stock, you can go from there. Good luck.

Power button + volume up gets you into recovery mode.

(I think) Power button + volume down gets you into fastboot mode. Not sure about this one, you can search around for the key combo to get into specific modes. From fastboot mode, you can flash the stock cos 12.1 provided from the official support page of cyanogen. Make sure you download the zip compatible with fastboot mode. When you finally get to cos 12.1, you can install Twrp recovery (also available among the forum threads or from the official twrp website), then flash cm13, reboot to check if everything works and then finally move to cm14.

You can post here in case of problems/confusions in any step.

Alternately, in place of cos12.1, you can flash zui as suggested. Search in the 'help, q/a' section of zuk z1 in this forum. You can find the tutorial there. Good luck.
