[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] gs7ephoneguy:
So just to be clear, you decided to hop on a thread about screen protectors, basically call everyone foolish for wanting impact protection, and then suggest that we get a different phone? What?!?

Most of us chose the S7 edge because of the many hardware advantages over other phones. The curved screen was something we were willing to put up with because the hardware was so great. It's not crazy to want a tempered glass cover (which protects from scratches AND impact) to get full protection for our $500+ phone. If you've figured out a way to ensure your phone never lands on its face, then congratulations.

So, getting "an S7 and your glass protector then be happy" is not a solution. It's an asinine, unhelpful answer that doesn't provide a real solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] skezza:
Very happy. Few more scratches now but worth every penny.

Lol. I think I'll just leave this. You're clearly missing the point.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] skezza:
Just to add, I decided to have a look at my second TPU protector today and found the adhesive was not very sticky anymore. I wonder if these things have a shelf life?

Edit: The old fashioned fairy liquid trick didn't bring it back to life either, although it has reduced some bubbles.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabinka:
Last night, I was having trouble with one of my Google accounts in my tablet. I deleted it. It's not the main Google Account. It was the third, actually, one I only need on the tablet for one app. I was not running that one app.

I tried putting the account back in. I've Googled the issue and tried several things short of a Factory Reset.

I've cleared the data and cache for Contact, Contacts Storage and Calendar Storage. No help. I've completely removed Facebook to see if that would help. I've reset Application Preferences.

I still get the error.

Is there any other way I can get this to go away besides a factory reset or updating my Android Operating System?

I have a Sony Xperia Z2 running Android 4.4.2 It is an unlocked Verizon tablet on a T-Mobile SIM or just on Wifi. (I would LOVE to try updating Android but I'm running into issues there as well. I don't want to pay $40 for a Verizon SIM I'll only need for the update.)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabinka:
Details about update issues

Details on the update:

On Wifi I get "Error during DM Session"

On T-Mobile SIM I get "There is no network available"

Verizon support doesn't know why I can't get it over WiFi.

Sony Support says I need to repair the software with Verizon's tool (losing all data) then maybe I can update over the Wifi.

T-Mobile doesn't know why I can get the internet with their SIM (I can) but not the update. Me neither.

I'm thinking that the update would fix the acore issue and just well, be better than Android 4.4.2 so I'd really love to give it a try if someone could help me past one of those errors.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabinka:
I think I may have solved the acore issue. I may post a new post abuot the Android Update issue.

I opened Application Manager and went to All apps. I looked through each one. For any app I thought might use contact information, I cleared the data. That meant Hangouts, Gmail, etc. Any app that used contacts. I got the idea when I tried to send an email and got the error litterally after every single letter I typed in an email address.

I tested it with Gmail and no error this time!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabinka:
I spoke too soon. Something is wrong. I can't open Google Play anymore. I wanted to reinstall Facebook but when I open the Play Store, I get "Error retrieving information [RH-01]"

Please help!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabinka:
Google Play Store works again now. Not sure what fixed it but it's working now. So I'm back to before I deleted that account. That's good, but now I know I can't get a System Update. So not too happy about that.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabinka:
And it's back. I redownloaded Facebook and as soon as I logged in, I got the acore error again. So I uninstalled it again. Hoping that did it. I tried writing an email address in Gmail and so far so good. We'll see. No more Facebook on my tablet, I guess.
[Galaxy Note5 General] shriganesh:
Follow the procedure below to root your Note 5 with Indian ROM on Android Marshmallow (6.0.1).

It's pretty straight forward. Backup all your data before upgrading as usual. Use USB OTG for backing up.

1. Put the phone in Download mode.

- Power down the device.

- Press and hold > Vol DOWN + HOME + Power button.

- Phone boots up and press Vol UP to proceed.

2. Download CF-Auto-Root by awesome Chainfire

https://download.chainfire.eu/947/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-noblelte-nobleltedd-smn920g.zip

3. Extract the Zip file and then make sure you have all Samsung USB drivers installed. The run Odin.

4. Only AP will be enabled check it and point to the CF-Auto-Root-noblelte-nobleltedd-smn920g.tar.md5 file.

5. Once process is complete, phone should reboot. It will reboot 4 to 5 times. But do not worry as this is normal.

6. Once the phone comes backup you should have SuperSU app and your phone should be rooted.

I am assuming that up to this point you've been running on Stock MM. Or upgraded from Stock Lollipop. I personally was running rooted Lollipop and the flashed with a ROM from Samfirmware. Then after rebooting the phone all my data was intact and then rooted using the above method and it's working well!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robberknight:
Hi,

I run CM 13 and want to encrypt my sd card. The internal storage is already encrypted. I do NOT want to use the sd card as "internal" or "adopted" because the sd is for data only and I want all the apps in the faster internal storage. I do not care if the sd is usable on other phones or not, I just want to completely encrypt it.

The security menu doesn't show a "encrypt sd card" option anymore as in previous versions.

So what is the best way to encrypt the sd card?

Is there some command like "vdc cryptfs" which handles sd cards?

Thanks.

You just need to replace the password, the block device node name and the volume id of the fat32 filesystem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robberknight:
After having used it for a few days, I encountered a few problems regarding the access rights to the sd card: new folders are created with the unix-ownership of the app doing the create. All other apps don't have access and I couldn't find anything like a global umask for all Android apps. Usually portable sd cards are formatted vfat, so there are no unix permissions at all.

I first thought about solutions like bindfs, which is an extra FUSE layer which can replace the permissions on access. But I was to lazy to set up a build environment. So I replaced the ext4 on the encrypted drive with exfat, which also does not have permissions.

Why exfat and not fat? Because I don't want the limit of 4GB per file.

To switch to exfat, format the encrypted drive like this:

mkfs.exfat /dev/mapper/sdcrypt

Mounting is done like this:

mount /dev/mapper/sdcrypt /mnt/media_rw/5824-FB9F -t exfat -o nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,uid=1023,gid=1023,fmask=0007,dmask=0007

Just replace the commands in the steps above with these.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomasjfox:
Kudos to robberknight for finding out how this works on Marshmellow!

After upgrading to lineage 14.1 (Android 7.1.2), the given approach did no longer work.

The sd card storage is now divided into multiple "views" by making use of mount namespaces.

This allows an user to grant or deny sd card permission at app runtime.

The corresponding git commit in "vold" is:

commit 66270a21df1058434e4d63691221f11ff5387a0f
Commit: Jeff Sharkey <jsharkey@android.com>
CommitDate: Thu Jun 25 22:40:08 2015 -0700

Let's reinvent storage, yet again!
..

After countless hours of tracing through vold, I developed a solution for lineage 14.1.

Main changes:

mount source exfat filesystem with correct selinux context

automatically unmount all user views and then call the "sdcard" binary to set up the user views again. "sdcard" is normally called by vold internally.

The updated mount script can either store the password or ask for the password upon mount.

Not storing the password might come in handy if you are forced to reveal any unlock codes:

If the encrypted volume is not mounted, the "original" SD card content from the first partition is mounted by Android.

Here's the updated script, please adjust path to cryptsetup binary / uuid of the sd card:

password=""
cardid="780AD-7FC9"
cardmnt="/mnt/media_rw/$cardid"
cryptsetup_bin="/data/cryptsetup.arm"

function die()
{
echo "$*"
exit 1
}

# ask user for password if not given
if [ "$password" = "" ]; then
echo -n "Enter password: "
read password
fi
echo "$password" | $cryptsetup_bin luksOpen /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 sdcrypt
password=""
test -b /dev/mapper/sdcrypt || die "luksOpen failed"

# unmount old sdcard (up to four mount points on lineage 14.1)
count=0
while grep -q -F "$cardid" /proc/mounts; do
# force unmount like the UI would
umount -f "/mnt/media_rw/$cardid"
count=$((count+1))
[ $count -eq 10 ] && die "sdcard $cardid still mounted? Please check."
done
echo "Unmounted $count old mount points"

# Mount base filesystem with correct selinux context
mount /dev/mapper/sdcrypt "$cardmnt" -t exfat -o context=u:object_r:fuseblk:s0,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,uid=1023,gid=1023,fmask=0007,dmask=0007

# set up read/write views using "sdcard"
sdcard -u 1023 -g 1023 -U 0 "/mnt/media_rw/$cardid" "$cardid"

# tell MediaServer to search for new content
am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MEDIA_MOUNTED -d "file:///storage/$cardid"

Hopefully this is useful for someone else.

Big thanks to haggertk for bringing lineage 14.x to the Samsung Galaxy S5 (klte).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moto_osprey:
I tried the solution by robberknight and thomasjfox on a Motorola G (2015) "osprey" running the latest nightly LineageOs 14, but when I want to mount the exfat, I get an error:

mount: '/storage/emulated/0/'->'/dev/storage/xxxx-xxxx': No such file or directory

Is the exfat-support missing on my device?

Edit: I formated the LUKS partition with my ubuntu machine to fat32 (vfat). Then I was able to mount it with the solution by thomasjfox. Just changed -t exfat to -t vfat
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomasjfox:
Glad it's working for you. As the linux kernel is different for each LineageOS phone, it could be that the Motorola G (2015) does not have exfat support. Though I always thought that exfat support is provided by userspace (FUSE), so it should work IMHO.

Hey Guys,

i recently did change the Display on my D6603 Z3. It took some for the Display to arrive, so i did not charge the Smartphone at that time.

After changing the Display my Phone only gets a Red LED when plugged into the charger but none of the Reset combinations seem to work.

Also does the LED stop after sometime. Anyone has an idea what could be wrong ? Its a constant bright RED light.

This morning my AT&T Galaxy S6 drained 15% battery in 1 hour with wifi and data turned off and hardly any screen on time.

Not normal behaviour for this phone. I powered it off and then turned it on and now is stuck at the white At&t screen and keeps repeating a vibrating pattern. The pattern is like this. 1 short vibration -pause -1 long vibration -pause -3 short vibrations. And the blue light on the phone's top dims down and up slowly.

I got into Android Recovery and wiped cache but it gets stuck on the same screen.

Phone has stock Android. Last update was 2 months ago from At&t.

I don't want to factory reset so I don't delete all the pictures on it.

Can I use Android Recovery and ADB to download the pictures to the computer?

[Remix OS for PC] spb37:
I couldn't tell from the cryptic instructions whether I would end up with a conventional dual boot arrangement if I install remix on my windows 7 hp pro x2 612 touchscreen laptop. I don't want to lose the windows 7. I downloaded what I think is the most recent version Remix_OS_for_PC_Android_M_64bit_B2016101201. Also can I burn the iso to a disc (not usb drive) and use the included windows installer. Will remix boot from the disc so I can check it out on my pc before installing it?

Does remix allow installing conventional linux applications such as full libreoffice or is it limited to google play offerings. Is there a guide anywhere to side loading whatever is needed to get the google play store working. Appreciate any help with all these questions. Thanks so much
[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
[MENTION=2190299]spb37[/MENTION]

Installing using the official installer will not do any harm to the Windows 7 installation. If you chose to install on the same partition as Windows, it will be placed in a separate folder and a boot menuentry will be added.

So, yes, you end up with a conventional dual boot arrangement :)

Remix OS .iso was not designed to work on disc mediums so I do not recommend to try and boot from a disc.

Instead, better use a USB storage Device to test Remix out.

Remix OS is a fork of Android-x86 project (coming from AOSP) so it doesn't have a Linux GUI packages installer. You won't be able to install LibreOffice on it.

Play Store comes pre-installed as long as you select the respective option during first boot.
