New dialer sometimes causes device screen to go complately black and whole phone including the buttons to become unresponsive. dial tone sounds but you need to force phone to shut down by long pressing power button. anyone else experiencing this? this happened to me two times. both were when I touch on the frequent contacts list.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] m4ssnet:
Feedbacks about it ?

I really like the new dialer, but I want flash only if it's 100% stable to flash :cowboy:

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] mhdsanto85:
Did you guys make contact app work too?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] maluus:
Well I just copied the apk to the old contact app folder under system (system/app or system/priv-app can't remember exactly but you can't miss it), removed old apk , set the permissions, erased app data, rebooted and it worked without a problem.

I installed the live wallpapers and I could see them in wallpaper picker. when I select a wallpaper it shows " app isnt installed" . Is there any fix for this?
[Security Discussion] ferivon:
I'm currently using AFWall+ and Xprivacy to manage which app can access my data and which app can access the Internet.

I'm rooted and on CyanogenMod btw.

I basically just block Internet access for every apps and for those apps that really do require Internet access, I restrict what exactly these apps can access.

But there there are a couple of huge flaws in that system:

Let's say you install a hypothetical app to share your photos. That app needs Internet access and access to a folder containing your photos.

But there is no way to restrict access to just a single folder. You either grant access to your whole file system or you deny it completely.

So this app could easily spy on other things like your videos, music, confidential documents or whatever.

I know there are ways to secure folders with passwords, but when I put a password on my documents folder, my document reader won't be able to access that folder anymore.

Is there an app or Xposed module that I could use to simply specify which app can access which folders?
[Security Discussion] iwanttoknow:
Hi,

I don't know if this Xposed module AppOpsXposed could be an answer for you.
[Security Discussion] ferivon:
AppOpsXposed just let's you change app permissions, as in "Storage access: Yes/No". The same can be done with Xprivacy more safely and it is not what I'm looking for at all. I basically want to be able to set permissions on a per-folder basis.

Ok, so one night I was using my phone normally (Browsing. Watching YouTube, Playing Games) like everyone else does. Then all of a sudden it shuts off, but immediately turns on again without me pressing a button. (So basically it suddenly auto restarts on its own) This occured maybe 2-4 times (all in one night) until one time, it shuts off but doesn't turn on again (basically an automatic shutdown), so I tried turning it on again (Power button), then I got shocked because all of a sudden it enters a boot loop (Screen displaying this sequence : Samsung Galaxy S4 screen, my carrier logo screen, The encrypted screen (where you have to enter your encryption password) then again the Samsung logo but this time with the colors splashing from the background, then it shuts off again.) Sometimes after the boot loop sequence, it vibrates but never turns on again, sometimes it just turns off after the sequence. And as I try and try to get away from the boot loop, the sequence became shorter. So I'm guessing it's a battery problem, BUT my battery isn't bloated or deformed. I tried clearing the cache first, again the sequence got shorter (never going up to the carrier logo screen), then I tried formatting the data, still to no avail. Now, when I turn it on, It shows the Samsung logo screen for 2 seconds and shuts down.

I tried flashing it with ODIN thru Download mode BUT (HERE'S where another problem occured) :

My phone never get pass on the system.img.ext4 dialogue and my screen just goes blank. But ODIN still recognizes my phone. And when I remove the USB cable, ODIN says FAIL.

I'm sure the cable is working. I downloaded the firmware for my carrier (Tre 3).

What could be the real problem here?

Here is the description of my device :

Samsung Galaxy GT-I9505

Bought from Italy, Tre 3 carrier

Can I download a different region/carrier for my I9505 phone?

Advanced thanks for anyone who comments and I'm very sorry for my English. Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
I would install TWRP recovery, boot to it, and use it to format data, which will remove the encryption. Then I would either push a rom to the phone via recovery or try to reinstall the stock firmware with Odin. Make sure that you run Odin as admin as well. The firmware must be the same version or newer. If you still have the stock recovery and can boot to it, then I think the build number of the currently installed firmware will be visible there. You should be able to use that to Google the correct version you need.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean Almedina:
Hey it's me. Just posting a quick reply.

Thanks for replying to my post. Yesterday I successfully flash a rom to my GT-I9505 (Version 5.0.1 Italy HUI 3G). However it still didn't boot up. At first try it booted up to the first setup screen then just randomly shuts down. Then as I try to boot it up again, It just shuts down after the first Samsung logo (with the GT-I9505 logo), I can't boot into recovery cause it shuts down. I'm sure it's not a battery issue cause when I boot into download mode, it can stay in that screen for like 10 minutes. What could be the issue? I'm planning to disassemble my S4 sooner to see if something's wrong inside. Thanks again for the reply
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] kookiekua:
This happened on both my old and replacement Note 7.

My fingerprint reader sensor & iris scanner is not working at the lock screen. Thought it might be a hardware issue, I set up a new Iris and fingerprint and worked fine. Samsung pay works too.

Thing I have tried:

- factory reset (issues returned after restarting the phone - no apps from Play Store installed)

- removing and adding new sets of Fingerprints & Iris

- wiping cache partition (from recovery) - I did notice a flash of error saying E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument) before restarting normally

Then I also realized that my favorite feature - Quick Launch Camera is also disabled even with the option selected in the camera app

Tried Googling around but it seems like I'm the only one having such an issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] chrisliphart:
Running full stock 6.0.1, and I just got this phone last Friday. I noticed over the weekend that certain apps are not showing notifications, specifically ESPN and USA Today. I tried signing out/in to the apps again, and uninstalling/reinstalling the apps, but I'm still not getting notifications. I got them on my other devices, so I know the issue is not server-side, and stuff like Gmail/Facebook/etc work just fine, so I know it's not a global issue. Anyone seen this issue before?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] chrisliphart:
Looks like the issue was some incompatible setting from my OP3 when I transferred data by touching the backs of the phones during the initial setup. Rooted the phone this morning, which wiped it, and now all my notifications are working.

Dear All,

Samsung has released Samsung Galaxy J2 2016 which has AMOLED 5" display, sc8830 chipset with 1.5GB RAM. The device is preloaded with 4 themes, I want more themes from Samsung Official Theme Store. My device is rooted.

For this, I have already done following:

1. Updated to Latest Version of Galaxy Apps

2. Installed Latest Theme Store app

3. Changed build.prop values to the device which supports themes since officially J2 2016 doesn't support downloadable themes.

I successfully opened theme store but when I click download button, it shows theme mismatch error.

I hope I am very close to resolve the issue but finding it difficult to figure out what causes this mismatch.

Can anybody help to understand the issue and resolve ? Is there any thing in build.prop that needs to be modified OR stock launcher from other theme supported devices may do the trick ?

Thank you all for your support.
[Android Themes] pmi:

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Accessories] motanel_pufos:
Hello

I want to buy a mi5 but I'm afraid it is to fragile, and bends fast. I'm looking for a case of cover that is strong enough to protect the phone. It would have been good a case with a metal bumper and a smart flip case that protects the screen too like the original case. But that is to thin to protect against bending.

The only strong cover I could find is love mei case but it is very heavy. Any ideas?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Accessories] leledumbo:
The original flipcase is strong enough for me. I put it in jeans pocket and the phone doesn't bend. Mi 5 may be breakable by bending, but still requires sufficient power to do so. It certainly is stronger than iCrap 6.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Accessories] motanel_pufos:
A friend of mine had a sony xperia z2 with a glass back like mi5 and was damaged in a pocket, you couldn't see any cracks but the screen was damaged inside and it cost a lot to fix it.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Accessories] marcoly:
I'm using Nillkin Frosted Shield and I'm completely fine. No bending marks, maybe that's because I have deep pockets.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] a2597:
EDIT: See post #5. Samsung has multiple IMEI checkers for different countries, my google search led me to the wrong one.

Original Post starts here:

So I have a brand new, Verizon note 7, box has the black square, green battery icon.

After the reports this weekend, I thought "eh, I'll check". Using Samsung's IMEI check, it returns a message

Yea, that's not good. I guess I'm exchanging it later today for an S7 Edge now.

(Curiously, when I called Samsung just now they said it wasn't on the list of recalled phones, and that mine was safe to use... so left hand not knowing what the right is doing?)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] andyahs:
I would trust the green battery icon and black square over the imei checker.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dottat:
Just goes to show how screwed Samsung has things when it comes to instilling trust with their customers when it matters most.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
The imei checker actually allows for an option that you DO have an exchanged Note yet it is still a bad one? What if this is a new feature that indicates there will be another, limited recall?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] a2597:
update, turns out I may have used the wrong IMEI checker. the one I used was the first hit in google for my search:

http://www.samsung.com/ph/note7imeichecker/ and I read "/ph" as "phone".

The checker at http://www.samsung.com/us/note7recall/ one says that my phone is safe.

So...strange. If I were in the Philippines this phone is bad, in the US it's safe?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jmitr:
Lol! So it does. Just tried mine for a laugh.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mikesaa309:
Maybe you got that error then because it's checking for a IMEI code that's linked with the Philippines but you're putting in a code that is for USA models and therefore is coming back as an incorrect IMEI hence the error message "It's either that the IMEI you entered is incorrect...". So most likely just that and not a screw up with the checker lol.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
Bootloader should not cause any problems.

Missing Dll´s for XDATools came as you have ssen correctly form ActiveSync. So you need to install this programm on your PC to use XDATools. Afterwards you will be able to wirte the ROM on your SD-Card and then flash the new ROM on your device.

So if you don´t have any cradle or cable, and don´t sync with ActiveSync, how did you manage your conacts,install software, exchange files, ....?

I see the confusion :)

I have card reader's on the front panel of my pc. So i am using xardit to transfer the bootloader images onto either an sd or an MMC card. So i transfer the patch with the NB2 extension on to the card. Cold reboot xda and it gets to the normal screen telling me i need the keycard.

I can use either xdarit or isoimagetool to transfer the .NB1 file on to an SD.

I have no data cable, so these are the only methods i can use. Just pc with multi card card, sd car, mmc card.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You can try flashing your stock firmware. If that doesn't work, you'll have to manually rewrite your IMEI if you know what it is, its usually on a sticker behind the battery or its on the box that the device came in.

The tools used to rewrite your IMEI might depend on what device you have so do some Googling to find what you'll need to do it. I can't help you any further than that because the only discussions about IMEI that are allowed at XDA are discussions of restoring IMEI from an IMEI backup, you obviously don't have an IMEI backup so there's nothing else I can help you with.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I told you, the only discussion allowed at XDA is using an IMEI backup to restore IMEI, you didn't make an IMEI backup so you have no backup to use, this means there is nothing anyone here can help you with because its against the rules plus its illegal to rewrite IMEI in a lot of places, its the kind of thing that phone thieves do. Sorry but you need to look somewhere else or on a different website.
