[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sysctl:
How do I get to know which countries are strict with Knox and which are not? So after rooting I get no updates at all or it only means I wont get automatically android 7 when Samsung decides to release it?

Isn't there way that I write something smart in hosts file and then Samsung wont get notified?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] muppetmaster916:
Elaborate ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MisterKanister:
By hearing experiences from users around the globe. There's no list or something

You don't get any OTA updates any more

Unnecessary, Samsung doesn't get notified online or over the Internet from your device
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nitrous²:
From my experience and hearing from users around the world, central and southern Europe seem to be very strict regarding warranty and tripped Knox. Some countries in eastern Europe, northern Europe are less strict about it.

The Arab peninsula doesn't seem to care at all about Knox and warranty. Don't know much about African countries. Heard users saying they do and don't care about a tripped Knox. Never heard about issues from the United States about warranty and tripped Knox.

Feel free to correct me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sysctl:
1) Does it only mean no updates for samsung software or no update at all? I mean would it also breaks updates for lets say firefox or vlc or termux (which are not shipped by samsung)?

What do you mean by "flashing it manually" Like manually reinsali firefox when I want newer version of it? Or that I only have to flash manually when I want to update OS?

What are side effects of tripping knox besides loosing warranty? Will i loose any features?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] B3311:
You won't necessarily lose warranty, you'll lose Knox, Samsung/Android Pay and OTA updates.

Edit - my apologies for my pre-edit post, I thought you were the OP. I should learn to read myself?? Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ss872:
1) if i root my s7E then warranty counter will be set to 0x1 so officially my warranty is void... Cases mentioned above i would consider lucky

2) i did my research but all the articles on knox are old and unclear and has same thing.

And thankyou for your wonderful & informative answer! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] B3311:
Please see apology above.

Your warranty is dependent on your country. Mine doesn't care about Knox being tripped.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ss872:
Thanks for answer

And no need for apologizing could have happen to anyone:)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sysctl:
For me the reason I posted my question was that articles I found from google were unclear. It basically just said that OTA means over the air. But it didnt tell me what are exactly OTA updates. Is it only updates to Samsung's stuff or would it also stop me from receiving updates for software like firefox and vlc (which are not released by samsung)?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] B3311:
OTA updates are Samsung firmware updates, i.e the whole system. Your apps like Firefox, vlc etc will not be affected, they will update or not according to your Play Store settings.

You still should read about all this - what you learn now may prevent future problems. My advice to you is don't root. A good rule of thumb is "if you have to ask, you're not ready".
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sand1303:
U will never be able to use samsung pay again. Even if u unroot the phone and return it to full stock. Once knox is tripped it is tripped for good. Other than samsung pay i dont think any other feature is effected. U can still use other nfc payment apps like google wallet just not sampay

Hey Guys,

Apparently the Nexus 5 is going to have mainline linux kernel support from 4.9 and onwards.

Any idea what this could mean for developer support apart from possibly running actual Linux on the thing?

Link: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-4.9-ARM-Pull
[Nexus 5 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] Jaizu:
That means nothing, we would need more time to addapt and fix stuff that improving new ones. Yes Nexus 5 will support it, but it will mean nothing, some kernel devs already talked about it too.
[Nexus 5 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] GR0S:
But will qualcomm blobs work on 4.9 kernel?
[Nexus 5 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] jja2000:
Yes I understand that obviously, it just gives me some hype for the future. A bit of a Nokia N9 like phone on the android side of things.

Probably not, although Freedreno has support for the Nexus 5, other stuff may not work.

After the recent update, my phone is stuck into a reboot loop, it boots till the SAMSUNG animation and then again reboots :(

I tried doing the basic things like wiping partition and doing a factory reset but no luck, can anyone suggest something else?

would be much appreciated :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Try flashing the latest stock firmware with ODIN
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xitoxic:
thanks for the response.

I actually went to the service center because the phone was not responding at all, just black screen.

The service center guy said the motherboard is fried :\ idk how though, so they said they will have to replace the motherboard and i have to live without smartphone for couple of days :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Bad luck, I'm always wary of taking things to service centres, a lot of places invent problems to make money from people, but least you should have a working phone again soon

But remember, if they opened the phone to replace the board, it might not be waterproof anymore
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xitoxic:
Yeah :crying:

They opened it just right after so i guess its not waterproof anymore , sad

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] metalmike6:
I'm having a strange problem where notification sounds will spontaneously start playing at super low volumes. And the only way to rectify this temporarily is to do the hardware check under device help that was mentioned in another post. However this solution vanishes after the phone is restarted.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] bricky23:
I noticed this with the stock notification. So I installed other notification using Zedge. They seem louder.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] metalmike6:
It's not a stock notification issue. I tried using an external sound. Same problem. It's really annoying and obviously a software glitch. I'm just surprised no one else is having the issue? Again the fix I'm using while effective at making the sound louder for notifications, stops the volume of media from being able to be controlled via the volume buttons.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] agentaaron:
I am having the sound issue as well.

The first time I noticed it, I was playing with the JBL speaker and when I took it off the volume was low...both for media and notifications. After a reboot, media and notifications seemed fine. Later I was showing a co-worker the JBL Speaker...this time, stopping the music before removing the Mod...the sound volume sounded fine. I think it may have something to do with removing the Mod while its being used??? Can anyone else recall what they were doing when they noticed the difference in audio levels?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] metalmike6:
I'm not doing anything... when I reboot EVERYTIME, the volume is messed up... It takes me messing with "device help" to get it working again.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] power_8383:

Let's hope they will fix this issue in next software update.

Hello all. As I say in this post I try that method but it wont works for me. So i try KingRoot (KingRoot, not KingOroot) and I can say that this phone is under the requests. I don't know how much it take for the devs to finalized it (there's few phones models before this). Btw good to know. Maybe try a look time by time using the Kingroot pc tool, that gives you more informations compared to .apk one.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] JesseFS07:
Hello to everyone, my K10 MODEL LG LG-k430tv is a little strange, it carries long time to reach 100% load, and down to 99% takes about 30-35 minutes in wi-fi and 3g 15-18 minutes , so far so good, the problem is that if I am with the phone in your pocket and plug it in about 30 seconds the percentage falls, and it is not normal, because every time I shot it from his pocket he falls same time percentage, another thing I noticed is that it drops from 93 to 91% direct without going through 92 percent in 77 to 74% and so on ...

Another thing is that in 3g or 4g play the services Google consumes a lot of battery already in use in no wi-fi. Does anyone know how to solve? I use the K10 Brazilian.

So they other night i tried rooting my gs7 edge. Found a tutorial online and flashed a file via odin. And upon rebooting ended up freezing on the AT&T boot logo. which seemed to a common problem after reading the comments. The only way was to do a factory reset which i did and got the phone working again. But now the phone is extremely sluggish it lags doing the simplest tasks. Now i want to start over and flash the stock firmware via odin but not sure what files to flash ive tried flashing couple different ones and odin has always failed. can some one point me to the right files i am a complete newb with samsung phones.

Did you try rebooting you phone back into download mode
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
Make sure you are using all 4 files (BL, AP, CSC, CS)

Also if you can boot into recovery first factory reset from there it will make the Odin flash cleaner.

If you keep getting an error you might need a different version of Odin. Use the one from U firmware thread it should work.

If it is stuck at setting up connections you may need to reinstall the drivers for your phone.

Does anyone know how to change this on my pixel. Mine came out of the box showing the date but I'd much rather it showed the weather.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] doc_loco:
Nevermind the launcher just updated and it sorted itself out
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] klitzkrieg:
Took me a bit to figure this out as well. Surest way I found to get weather was to swipe right into the Google Feed and pull to refresh.

I've had the weather revert back to date after a reboot. Refreshing Google Feed fixed that as well.

Swipe to Google now and pull to refresh. When the weather updates it updates and main screen with the weather. Each time you restart the device, this will happen. I'm sure it's a bug. At least I hope it's not intended to be that way.

Thanks. I saw that tip, but it doesn't bring it back for me.

You can check in the setting screen on Google now. Click customize and then select everything else. Check if all your weather option are set to yes.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jimbob_me:
Mine has just started showing up with the weather on there too. Noticed it a couple of hours ago.

I had done all of the steps people had mentioned previously a few days ago but nothing worked at the time.

So basically my advice would be to:

1. Do everything people have already mentioned in this thread (enable cards, refresh and update pixel launcher).

2. Sit back, with a nice cold beverage and wait. It'll show up sooner or later
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tw1tch175:
I've seen a few of these suggestions around but I had to go digging to find the solution to why I couldn't get it to work for me. I'm going to give a list of things to try.

Update pixel launcher in the play store. You may not be able to see it in your apps so you might have to search for it or go to this link on your device:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher

Swipe to the Google screen to the left and pull down to refresh

Toggle location off then back on using quick settings

Open the google page to the left and use the hamburger menu and select customize.

Select "everything else" at the bottom. Find anything that says weather and set it to yes.

The last one was my solution. I forgot that I had disabled these way back when Google Now was new.

If Google is derping in your country this is the most recent version of Pixel Launcher

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-launcher-7-1-1-3359438-android-apk-download/
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] NWTSCL:
Those were all Yes already.

I have found a reliable solution, at least for me. Location must be set to "High accuracy".

Weather would go away after every reboot if set to "Device only". Seems strange considering that the weather appears fine on the card itself just "Device only".

Hi,

I got a HTC One A9 (international version / june 2016) that randomly freezes.

The screen just gets corrupted like this (see attached files).

Sometimes after several hours, sometimes just after boot ... I can't manage to know what's going on ...

It happens with official HTC ROM (with latest Marshmallow update), and with CM13 ...

That's just making me crazy ! :eek: :eek:

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibrickedakindlefire1stgen:
HELP, I'VE BRICKED A KINDLE FIRE 1ST GENERATION! Basically, I was trying to convert it to Otterx, and I didn't have a computer at the time, so what I thought would work to get the unofficial Cyanogenmod 14 (Android Nougat) made by Hashbang, was that I could (to avoid the problem of formatting sdcard while the rom was on there) simply copy the rom to the root of the internal storage, and thusly not delete it while formatting. None of that worked. What ended up happening was I flashed the bootloader, the TWRP recovery that was supposed to work with Otterx, formatted all of the correct partitions WHILE THE CM14 ROM WAS STILL ON THERE, and switched the partition scheme in the bootloader to Otterx. I was left without any OS, but with a recovery, which wasn't mounting things correctly. When I saw that it didn't mount anything correctly, I decided to flash TWRP again, but this time, it didn't flash correctly, or it just deleted the recovery and did nothing else, I don't know which. At this point, all I had was just the bootloader, no OS, no recovery. Fast forward to when I just got this laptop, in order to try and flash a new recovery, I put it into fastboot mode via the bootloader, and plugged it into my newly acquired (Windows 10) laptop. Nothing happened on the computer, so I tried turning the Kindle Fire off, then plugged it in again. The Kindle Fire turned on, but nothing happened on the laptop. I tried installing the Google USB drivers, and the Kindle Fire drivers, both from Amazon and from KFU, and using ADB, but nothing worked. It is worth noting that whenever I plug the Kindle Fire into anything, it goes into fastboot mode and I can't get it out. What do I do now? I at least need instructions to get ADB to recognize it. And to anyone who bothered reading all of this, you deserve something, I don't know what though.
