[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireflyII:
Like so many others, my phone spontaneously developed the infamous bootloop problem. I've had the phone for less than a year, so Sprint will replace the phone for free, but I have a lot of things stored on internal memory of the device that I would very much like to retrieve before the exchange.

I've tried freezing it and heating it--both techniques succeeded in getting the phone to boot up, but not long enough to do anything other than confirm that all my data is still there.

I've been searching the web and this forum and found the guides about disabling big cores, but it seems that the files do not apply to my version of the phone, the LS991. Other guides describe booting the phone into recovery mode or fastboot/download mode, both of which I've done successfully, but I haven't been able to find out what to do from there. ADB only seems to recognize the phone is there when it's in "sideload mode."

Yes, I rooted my phone shortly after I got it, but I don't have any custom recovery installed because at the time, and apparently still, there aren't any available for this model!

So here I am with a phone that has my data on it but won't boot, and all the solutions beyond extreme temperature and hope are unavailable for this version.

Am I missing something? Is there a reason that a chunk of the population facing this growing problem have been left without the means of doing anything about it? Has someone produced the tools (either a custom recovery or a big cores disabling file) and I just can't find them anywhere?

Again, I'm not the first to ask, but I'm asking anyway. If anyone knows something that would help, please speak up!

Seems like something is off in there, weird vibration thing, camera is completely hazy, you have to shake the hell out of it to return to a clear screen, which is only temporary. I've heard that its because you dropped the phone too many times.

You might have to restart the phone or something. Never had this happen to me.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKid1:
Hey guys. I haven't been here in a while and am actually here for another question but figured while I am in this forum, why not ask a question that might be hit or miss.

1) Ok so my girl and I have been doing this weight loss program and the mobile app that we use is myfittnesspal. For some reason when I log calories eaten on the mobile app it does not communicate and update on the website. The mobile app shows no problems when I sync, but when I log on to actual website, nothing. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and hard resetting my phone. What is weird is that my girl has a similar phone, I have the galaxy s3 mini and she has the galaxy lite. Yeah both ancient, both with android 4.4.2. But when I log in the mobile app on her phone, it syncs with website fine. What the heck is going on? This is frustrating because we just spent $300 on fitbits to sync with this stupid app. Why is my phone not cooperating?

2) If I can't get this to work, I will probably buy a new phone. I am thinking of going with the latest mini, the galaxy s5 mini that is. I see a whole bunch on amazon and I am not sure which one to get because of the different frequency bands. I know for sure I want a gsm phone and I plan to use it on either Tmobile or ATT or an MVNO of either. So I see unlocked ones, international ones, haven been able to find a carrier one that is not used yet. Can someone please help with this question or should I post in another area?

Nothing?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Chronzy:
I know it asks for pin/pattern in certain instances like after reboot, when changing users, and after an extended period of time (like 48hrs), but I'm getting the pin screen like 75% of the time. Been like this since I got it. I've re-scanned my fingerprints.

Is the fingerprint scanner relegated to a novelty feature if it's almost always asking for your pin/pattern?

Anyone else getting it to this extent?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] cntryby429:
I get it sometimes but it's because I have tasker lock my screen when I unplug it from my car. Because it was locked by the "administrator" it requires a pin in addition to my fingerprint.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Chronzy:
So having "power button instantly locks" under security/screen lock/settings counts as locked by administrator I assume?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
It could be a haywire app. Power button instantly locks is not the reason, because mine is enabled.

I have had this happen to me a few times though... nowhere near 75%, but maybe 1 or 2 times a day with no explicable reason.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mmaaddict78:
I've only used the phone for a day now, but I haven't had it ask for any additional unlock other than the print so far(besides the software update reboot). I'll update once I've used it for a bit longer.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Chronzy:
Apparently it was 'power button instantly locks' because I've had no probs since I unchecked it. Just don't remember having that issue on other phones. It locks when you press the power button anyway so don't get the point of that feature.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
It must be a system bug then, and I suggest you report it from your phone using the feedback/bug report function. I have "power button locks immediately" enabled and like I said, 99% of the time it works fine and unlocks with fingerprint. So it must just be a software bug.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xLubricant:
I've been following a video on how to root and I've been running into an issue.

The device becomes successfully rooted but unusable.

The phone boots up fine initially then it lags like crazy when I try to do things, and I tried listening to the video saying I need to change the CPU governor but when I try to install trickster mod, play store freezes and the phone reboots. I thought, "Okay, I'll download it off the internet", end up installing it but it stays on a constant loading screen and the phone eventually reboots. Sometimes it'll even reboot instantly after booting. It just doesn't want to work.

Any help is appreciated, I don't get what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks..

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] striker661:
Hello All,

I may have borked my device trying to go back to stock BPA1. Currently the phone only boots if there is a charger plugged in... should I reflash stock and try again or is there something seriously wrong with my phones hardware or software? It just bootloops over and over and over until a wire is plugged in. I went to work today and left it on the charger so I know it's got a full charge. The charging animation that comes on when plugged in and the phone is off also displays 100% battery so I'm not sure what's wrong. The phone literally works 100% and boots and everything into the OS but turns off immediately when i unplug it :confused:

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] troy`:
Does anyone LIKE the size of the chin? I found myself instantly pleased with the added area to handle my phone. I actually left the sim in my 5x for a while to be sure. But I've never noticed how much I use the top and bottom bezels in portrait view. Especially when. Showing someone pictures or portrait videos. I dunno... I'm loving it. Perfect size where my thumbs never bumps the touchscreen.

Am I the only one?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I have no problem with it either. Take a look at the iPhone 6, which I have, and the bezel is about the same size as the Pixel. Actually the whole phone looks similar with a very similar feel. The Pixel is a little larger screen dimension wise but both are beautiful devices. And let's be honest here, if you can compare to an iPhone you're saying something. This device is a jewel if the battery can hold up.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mmaaddict78:
I just got my Pixel today, and I wish the chin was a bit smaller to be honest. The onscreen buttons take up a good chunk of space that I feel makes it look a bit...iPodish? That's for sure not an accurate assessment, but it is what I think when I look at the chin of the phone especially. Like I said, first day and all. I love everything else about this phone though. I even think the price is justifiable.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Zer0_:
I actually like the chin too. I find it helps my thumb reach the home button much more comfortably when using it one handed, rather than over extending my thumb to reach the bottom of my phone.

Plus it gives the phone a very minimal/elegant look. So no complaints from me! :D
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] charklos:
No complaints here! Keeps the phone looking balanced
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TCPDump:
I like the large chin. Im with you, I think its nice for handling the phone.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Chronzy:
Yes same here... While at first I thought it was huge and unsightly, when I think about it, I wouldn't want my thumb to have to reach any further down to get to the nav bar. It keeps the nav bar at a perfect height. Still seems kind of boring though. But I'm also glad they didn't put any branding there so kind of a conundrum for me.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] brangalm:
I dont mind the bottom too. It's not super noticeable and I agree that it makes the nav bar easier to reach.

I just wish people would stop calling it a "chin" - it's a bezel, not a chin. Look at the original G1 for a "chin".
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] troy`:
Totally... A lot of people seem to want this phone to be the opposite of iPhone. But we already had that... The Nexus lineup. Sure some were better than others but they were never trying to compete with anyone directly. Just good enough with a great price.

Just got mine last night. And I honestly looked at it and said 'why is everyone complaining about the chin?' to my girlfriend.

I agree, I am totally satisfied with the price now that the phone is in hand. Speed/Feel is amazing.

I never noticed that the home button was more comfortable on the Pixel until I used my 5X and Pixel side by side.. thanks for pointing that out! Of course I can't say much about the XL cause I didn't get that one.

HAH. I've been Androiding since the G1... and yea, that thing had a Joe Swanson Chin for real.

I just joined the chin lingo cause everyone else seemed to be doing it... Peer pressure!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] VR32:
this is #13 of a long list of reasons i'm returning the Pixel. this phone makes so little sense to me i cannot even wrap my head around it, probably because i don't talk TO my damn phone. leave the AI for the kiddos. going back to my ****ing galaxy S3. maybe HTC 10 after that. dunno.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] daewond3r:
Now that I have my phone, in person, I don't mind it. I prefer balance/symmetry and the chin provides that. I would prefer a speaker there instead, but oh well …
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Bruce Lee:
The chin I actually don't notice. Maybe it's because I have the 5' black version. To me, the chin makes it better for one handed use. The galaxy s7 was hard for one handed use for me anyway. I think the chin thing is really blown out of proportion. Just my two cents.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] atlp99:
In theory I'd like to see a smaller chin/ bezel and increase the screen size while keeping the overall size the same.

In practice, I don't mind the chin. I don't notice it at all.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
I hear y'all but that Jay Leno chin and fivhead are fails to me. I do appreciate all the reasons why you like them but the could have put like 8 speakers in that space. Subs, tweeters and all that! Still love the phone though.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Hemotherapy:
Looks weird I'd rather have it to help with holding the phone and keeping the navbar at a decent height
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] subhani:
The bottom bezel adds balance, symmetry and consistency to the device.

I am still upset it gave up the speaker grill. But sure look uber minimalistic.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] clockcycle:
Jay approves..
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TCPDump:
Totally agree with both of you. I think it really adds the balance. When I saw it at first I wondered, but once I used it I don't mind a bit. I use headphones so I dont care about huge speakers.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] twilk73:
Coming from the BB Z30 I am use to the chin and prefer it becuase of the way I hold the phone and navigate with my thumb. Now if only google would pick up a bb 10 device and take down some notes. Like moving things down low so I dont have to stretch my hand to the top.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] quangtran1:
Same here, I only use my phones one-handed, whether it's the Pixel, Notes, iPhone 7+, etc. The extra space is where my palm digs into. The BlackBerry Classic is the only device I have to use two hands, but da*n, that physical keyboard is sooo worth it.

Little more info: https://dirtycow.ninja

As far as reporting goes. It's seems we are all vulnerable. I was jsut wondering if this could help the s7 achieve root without the eng_boot? Or maybe even the bootloader, long shot I'm sure.

Hit up jCase on Twitter. I asked if thus could be used for us as a root alternative/bootloader access.

He said: "yeah if someone wrote an exploit it could be a decent temproot on that device"

So probably not bootloader unlocking. But a diffent method for root w/o the dumb eng_boot.img.

So it's been compiled and it works according to the one who compiled it. This will almost certainly trip KNOX.

And can you watch any YouTube videos in "720p60" or "1080p60", without dropping frames?

2) Does this have bluetooth, so that I can use a bluetooth keyboard to type faster when needed?

Thanks in advance guys!

Youtube playback in 720p60 as well as 1080p60 is working perfect, no dropped frames (tested on the android yoga book version, even with some other apps multitasking in the background). something else worth mentioning is the AMAZING sound this little device is producing, I am stunned.

Yes, it of course has Bluetooth.

Thanks for letting me know your personal experience. Hows the typing on the halo keyboard? I'm not overly worried aboit this as I'll use it in class for notes and stuff, which usually isn't too much typing all together. Plus people around me won't have to hear me typing.

Not to mention, I don't really type with my hands resting on keyboard, I usually look down and select letter by letter, though I do it very fast.

Touch typists have difficutly as they typically rest their fingers on the KB.

It's a great device

Echoing others:

Video playback is flawless for 1080p 60fps. Screen is super-bright. Image quality mediocre, not at the contrast ratio or color range you'd see in a Mac.

Keyboard is usable for small note taking once you get used to it, but can't imagine using it for the next great novel. The haptic feedback is a joke, it's just the vibration actuator buzzing on each keystroke. It's both noisy and a bit delayed from when your finger hits the keyboard. Much easier to just turn it off and use the audio "clicks" instead. (I was hoping it would have a haptic feedback similar to what Apple has with their "taptic" trackpad force feedback, but no such luck).
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsv591:
Hi

I'm trying to get the best Internet connection on my phone. My carrier doesn't support voice over LTE so if I set the Network mode to LTE only I got no calls incoming or outgoing.

The other options I have are 2G only or 3G only, which makes my LTE data plan useless.

Best option is to have it configured to 2G/3G/LTE, but the problem is that when I'm usually stuck with an excellent 2G connection (with useless internet), instead of a not lousy/not great 3G connection, which still has better Internet speed and stability than 4G.

I'm looking to have my phone only see 3G/4G and not 2G, but I don't have a network mode for that. How can I enable the network mode I require?

I'm rooted so if I can enable it somewhere in the system, that is an option.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otaconremo:
Hi all!

Whenever the phone drains completely, I would get boot stuck up at logo. This issue happened to my phone multiple times already. This only happens when my kids are playing with my phone until it completely drains the battery and shuts down. I charge it for a few minutes before powering on and when I turn it on, it would just stay at the boot logo. I even let it stay at boot logo overnight one time hoping it would continue to boot but it didn't.

This is where my trouble begins upon reflashing/restoring the phone. Not even a nandroid restore can help.

So, does a complete battery drain really cause this boot problem or is there something else causing it?

This happened on my fully stock D855 V30a rom, rooted, Xceed kernel and with Xposed installed.

Also I have tried using Fulmics 6.6 rom lately with xceed and xposed but still the same boot problem upon drain.
