Oh I'm chill - and we're having a very chill discussion about messaging apps.

I'm certainly not hating on Allo and I do hope they integrate SMS. Then it would be a no brainer to switch to it.

[Nexus 6P General] gorman42:
Well, you know... timely updates, as soon as ready, was kind of the main selling point of Nexus. I know it clearly steered me in its direction. Android 7.1 exists and it's running on smartphones. Just not on ours, as we were promised at time of buying.

For you this might not be a big deal. Good. But stop wondering how can it be possible for people to be pissed when one of the main selling points of their smartphone has disappeared without a good explanation. Personally I've never particularly trusted Google (the whole "Do no evil" thing, please...). After this, I trust them less. Simple as that.
[Nexus 6P General] lu4414:
I will keep my 6P for at least one more year and then considerer a OP or a second hand Pixel. But i had to say google screw up in making their Nexus customers (the most fiddellity ones) so pissed...if i get a Nexus is because updates and make it only for new phones are a major step back....the whole thing of ´´Do no evil`` seems a lie...

The ones i trust is the devs....this ones are making such great jobs receiving nothing beside our admiration and respect
[Nexus 6P General] Juzman:
I love my 6P, however can get a free Pixel or Pixel XL through work, so will get one and see what it's like. I wouldn't personally go out of my way to purchase one though.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Austenrockz15:
Ok so essentially im trying to spoof my mac address on my newly purchased verizon HTC 10 its a great phone but of course i got caught up in how pretty the phone was and purchased it without realizing that Verizon prevents you from unlocking the bootloader ( cant say i'm surprised it is verizon after all ) no big deal so i purchased sunshine to get s-off which worked very well, flashed twrp recovery and easily installed viper rom, after installing all my apps, i thought that surely spoofing my mac would be no problem, after all i spoofed the mac on my jailbroken iphone with a simple terminal command that modifed the mac in NVRAM. Then the great train wreak began, first i started with the play store apps which would spoof the mac however they failed to authenticate with any network that had any kind of security so that was a no-go, then i used busy-box commands to try and attempt to spoof the mac same issue failed to authenticate, so then i just figured id go into the filesystem and modify some files, however every tutorial i could find pointed to a /efs directory which was not present at all or a /persist directory which was also not present there were a few other directories none of which i could find. Eventually i just got so pissed i took the wifi firmware files ( and if anyone was wondering the model of the chip is a bcm 4359 which is apparently a really good chip ) and went into a hex editor and found macaddr=%2 and changed %2 to equal the mac im trying to spoof. Of course when i applied the modified firmware files the wifi failed to turn on at all, so i thought maybe its the viper rom, perhaps it lacks directorys that a stock 6.0.1 rom does, but after restoring my backup its the exact same root directory as viper, what i don't understand is why its so easy too spoof a mac address on an IOS DEVICE, but on an open source operating system such as android its giving me this much trouble, maybe i'm just stupid and missing something really obvious but surly it cant be this difficult to spoof a mac on android, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone notice on the Nexus 6 that during the DP's that Google everywhere was disabled with screen off yet when PLUGGED IN it worked all the time and it worked PERFECTLY! Now that the official nougat is out it is back to that old OK GOOGLE Everywhere which only works like 20% of the time. Is there any way to remove and go back to the same Google voice search that most phones have since it worked 100% of the time.

Guys when I tried to update to 17s my phone had issues and I had to use the SP Flash Tools. Lost IMEI and Baseband.

Now I need to connect to MAUI META and use it to write the modem again on the phone.

Everything works fine on the phone I just don't have DATA connection. Can't detect SIM CARD.

I have the MDDB file for MT6797 but MAUI META won't connect to the X620.

Is it not possible to connect this phone (LE 2 PRO) to the MAUI META? I will need to wait for future versions?

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] gumbyx84:
Has anyone run into an issue with Dolby Atoms where the EQ changes presets on its own? I listen to podcasts and set the EQ to "Voice" but whenever the audio pauses (notification, voice-to-text, pausing the playback) it always switches back to "Music". It's even done it while I was on the app.

Edit:

I've also had the EQ shut itself off after no audio had been played for awhile. Is this a power saving "feature"?

The issue was caused by a conflict between the Dolby app and n7 music player which wad talked about in another thread.

Did you try the Download mode key combinatio? It forces restart the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nitrous²:
You just recently postet this thread. Don't really want to play Sherlock, but I'm fairly certain that you fried your CPU.

Sidenote; there's no real gain in overclocking modern smartphone CPU's anymore. You do nothing other than shortening the lifespan of the CPU.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] NonXtreme:
Your problem sound like you overclock too much and battery can't handle the power draw, so it froze with black screen and somehow this symptom will not allow the phone to respond to the key combo unless you plugged in.

So try plug your phone in and then force reboot with volume down + power button.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ahamed.rafi135:
yeah guys you are right never gonna overclock again in my life just gonna keep it rooted.

sorry for late reply my phone whas it samsung service centre they replaced free of cost
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nitrous²:
Everybody note this down. This guy just wrecked his S7 Edge by overclocking it. Even if we assume that rooting and installing custom sh*t doesn't void warranty, this case is pretty obvious. Yet, he got a replacement. Wonder what kind of utopia this guy's living in.

EDIT: I'm not criticizing this guy. I'm trying to point out the hypocrisy of Samsung Service and warranty services in general. Users from around the world don't get warranty because of tripped Knox counters because of defects absolutely unrelated to root. In this case, where it'd be totally legitimate to deny warranty or even the statutory warranty, the user still got a replacement free of charge.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Bubba Fett:
The pixel seems like I good phone but I'm a little apprehensive about the new assistant app. I'm sure it will arrive on all phones eventually. I really don't want google to always know where I am, how long i was there, where I'm eating, if I'm moving around, what I'm buying, watching on tv, and searching for. Full access to my texts, emails, and friends. Best case scenario is they use/sell all my life's info to a marketing company. They should call the app Snowden assistant. My life is boring, but they don't need to know that. Google is becoming too invasive just to change your money into consumer products. And all Nouget kernels are locked, so without a leak, you become a Google Ad Slave without any self protection. I don't like it.

if you think that's bad it get worse i call tmobile yesterday wifes phone. acting up

they new everything that was on and how many pictures were on phone and the list goes on .they same said 1st issue you have developers on which is bad second that wifi was on and needed to be off for more diagnostic. so any way don't be too worried of google as tmobile also knows what's on your phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Bubba Fett:
This is why I personally feel root should be option on all devices. Are we to trust all the hands in our private cookie jars? I personally feel more secure with my control of my device than with large companies that are constant targets of hackers. I'm glad we have more control over what apps can access in android 6 and and 7, but still no real control what the carriers and their friends can access about our lives and what they do that info. It will be interesting to see if people end up caring enough about their privacy or maybe I'm just being too sensitive about it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] XmentalX:
This is why I disable the My T-Mobile app it is how they gather all this information. If you root the app will even try to request root permissions which is insane.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] aergern:
Indeed. I have the unlocked S7 Edge .. no carrier or Samsung bloat installed. This Big Bro crap is just that .. crap. They also load up a diag process as part of the MyTmobile app. You don't opt out of their network testing and disable that process .. it will eat your network connection and system resources. It hit my Note 7 and made it unusable for 40 minutes. I noticed the data arrows going mad and figured this was the problem. It was. I disabled all the TMO software and this separate process and everything was good .. then recall. Not a good month all the way around.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Dr. Fed:
Don't worry, Google Assistant is exclusive to Pixel phones. Google probably doesn't need Assistant to know everything about you anyhow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] aergern:
And once the Pixel folks have worked out the kinks by beta testing it .. it'll get pushed out to everyone.

Anyone who thinks the Pixel will sell enough to make it work Google doing it as an exclusive feature is just nuts. Also, the folks who created Siri just got bought by Samsung so most likely by summer '17 we'll all be saying "Hey, Viv!" and all that silliness.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] farru503:
Well, when you first get the phone, at the beginning the t-mobile app ask if you give them permission to collect data to "easily diagnosed" issues on your phone ...you have the option of denial or acceptance on that....or you also can disable the t-mobile app on app manager
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Bubba Fett:
I kinda wondered what that does. You still have to opt out of maps, chrome, google app and Google account to fully unhook from google. There are many sub menu options in Google account especially.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] farru503:
Well at least Google gives their customers the options to turn off all of that... you just need patience to go over and READ descriptions of every single option...Google puts everything there for ppl to choose...it's just ppl are too lazy lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] ingenious247:
What's irritating me, and I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but ever since Google stated only the Pixel would have this feature, Google Now has been crippled on Samsung phones. Used to get news, all sorts of info, now when I go to Google Now, I only get the sports teams I follow and location based stuff. I think Google is pulling a stunt to push people to the Pixel. Not cool.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Lol, well, you aren't getting replies because the answer is so simple.

Anytime you install an app yourself, it is installed as a user app. All user apps either create their own folder in the user partition to save data in(user partition is the partition that your download folder, Bluetooth folder, DCIM folder, etc.. are located), or they store their data in your Android/data/(name of the app in question) folder or one of its subfolders.

In your case its in Android/data/Flashify/files/backup/boot/(name of your boot backup)

and in Android/data/Flashify/files/backup/recovery/(name of your recovery backup)

They are restored using Flashify, not TWRP. The backups that Flashify create are a waste of time anyway, if you want to create and restore backups then use TWRP to create them and restore them, not Flashify, Flashify's only function that is worth using is its ability to flash custom Recovery .imgs.

A Google search for that question would have easily answered the question. The fact that you came here to ask means you didn't even attempt a search before asking because if you had then you would have found the answer very easily, questions that can easily be answered with a google search as the kinds of questions that get ignored.

Next time you ask a question and you don't get any answers, it should be your first clue that you can find the answer yourself very easily with a Google search.

The XDA forum rules state that members are supposed to search then search some more before they post their question, this keeps excessive and unnecessary posts to a minimum. You obviously didn't search first, that is very discouraged in this community.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aligatro2010:
Hi everyone,

So the question is simple: how hard is to port a firmware that is designed for one android device to another android device?

The devices in question is Samsung Gear Live and LG G Watch R. Both have the same cpu model and same tech specs. While Samsung has square LCD display, LG G has a round LCD display. I am assuming both have different components and drivers for bluetooth/wifi, barometer and other sensors.

However, this should be mostly doable if I can compile kernel modules for the missing drivers, yes?
[LG G Watch] googleygoggles:
So, today I realized that the last update I had gotten was the July update, and that my watch hasn't had any security updates since. Is this the official EOL?

I understand we'll never get Wear 2.0, but what about monthly security updates? Other watches still get em, so why stop now?
[LG G Watch] googleygoggles:
Well I guess I stand corrected... After almost 4 months of no updates, the November update landed here. I guess LG/Google hasn't completely abandoned us yet...
[LG G Watch] n0_yi:
LG is quite nice to be updating the security update for the device.

[MTCB Android Head Units General] cmetaphor:
Hi all, I'm certain this info can be found in tons of places on this forum, but I'm brand-new (first post, woo!) and that amount of info here is a little overwhelming.

So, first thing's first: Pumpkin's forum is crap, the one moderator there either doesn't allow posts about android upgrades or flatly denies it isn't possible (I know they're lying).

I have a Pumpkin RQ0248, using an RK3188 cpu and still running Android 4.4.4. I've learned here that it's also known as "MTCB-KLD6-v2.85". It seems like my car radio CAN be upgraded to Android 5.1 (which is awesome), but I'd just like to check some facts with the experienced folks here:

- I download an "Update.img" file to a... microSD card? USB? (Does it even matter? Pumpkin's site says microSD in the maps slot).

- I run the System update button (or whatever it's called) and select the above image file. Let it do it's thing. It'll reboot, at which point I do a factory setting reset? I believe so.

- The file I've downloaded is "KLD_LP_rk3188_p_2016_05_11", I think it's the right one, but I want to be certain. Perhaps there's an even newer one?

- While poking around (and getting confused) I saw some people claim their radio app sometimes would stop working? Is that a regular thing? I know how to enter the "factory" settings (using PW 126) and saw that some people just had to change their radio chip version? Is that trial and error or is there a specific one I should use for mine?

Thanks for all the help in advance! And sorry for the newbie questions!

Anyone? Please lend a hand... I'm very nervous about flashing (and possibly bricking) my car radio...
[MTCB Android Head Units General] halloj:
You need to take pictures of the pages in factory settings for later use. e.g radio and other settings.

What you have given so far concerning MCU it should be possible to upgrade. Don't touch MCU, only

ROM needs to be upgraded.

Also be sure you can get in to recovery. Important is also the screen size 800 or 1024. You have to pick the right one. If you don't

know go to play store and install an app that tells your screen size. It doesn't matter in which SD-slot you're upgrading from.

Normally we use the GPS-slot (left one).
[MTCB Android Head Units General] cmetaphor:
ROM? I thought MCU was the important part that needed to be "flashed".

Can't post links to photos... not enough posts yet... Just tell me other info is required beyond what I posted originally?

I know my screen size is 480x800. Recovery mode, I don't know right now how to get enter it, but I know it exists (button combination held when booting).

Was the file I mentioned in my first post not the correct one to use?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] cmetaphor:
The "official" response from the Pumpkin trash "tech" is that there is no real upgrade for my unit, but he provided a link for me to try it (aka removing any responsibility for bricking the radio). So full of crap, I've already seen RQ0248's being sold online with Android 5.1
