[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dbornack:
I don't think many phones even offer this. The point of HDR is to take two images that differ in the amount of light they take in. These are taken very close together, and 1) the flash timing probably wouldn't work out, and 2) that's kind of the whole point of HDR is to take both an under-exposed frame, and an over-exposed frame and blend them together. Flash would screw that up.

I have had other phones that you could turn the flash and hdr on but I see what you are saying. I never looked at it that way with the flash messing it up. I am by no means a good photographer.
[Samsung Gear S3] Asadnn:
Can gear s3 Frontier (non LtE) model recieve calls directly on the watch when connected to phone?
[Samsung Gear S3] Outbreak444:
If it's paired through Bluetooth then it should. Just like if you're paired to your vehicle's stereo, the calls should be able to go through that device as well.
[Samsung Gear S3] ReformedAppleFan:
Yes.

Non-LTE can make calls both via Bluetooth connection to your phone -and- via wifi without a phone (latter needs a voice call app).

so now that the verizon pixel has been unlocked http://theroot.ninja/depixel8.html

if i unlock the bootloader and install custom recovery (when it's released) will i be able to install factory images from google or will it relock the bootloader? am sure verizon will be patching this soon. so if this makes me stuck on 7.1.1 I won't buy through verizon of course. my old galaxy s4 was stuck on an old bootloader image so i could only use roms up to a certain version. i read a few people stating that they tried to flash the google factory images after and it took, but the depixel tool was still necessary to unlock the bootloader after the install. anyone know this what can and can't be done here?

[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] oponewbie:
Yes, according to consumer reports they were pulled by Amazon, should be back in stock soon as they are all patched with the security fix.

http://www.consumerreports.org/privacy/what-you-need-to-know-about-phones-secretly-sending-data-china/

"An Amazon spokeswoman, Robin Handaly, told us that when the problem was discovered “all impacted phone models were immediately made unavailable for purchase on Amazon.com,” though other Blu phones were still available. “Now that the issue has been resolved, we’re working to make these phones available to Amazon.com customers again.”"

Also the security update is out and fixes the Adups issue, if you had it in the first place, most people that rooted their phone and went to stock "debloated" never had the Adups software installed.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Frontier3:
My last android phone did not have this problem. I connect to my home VPN while at work. Ever since I got this phone the connection just drops every 10-20 minutes when the phone is sitting idle, or when I'm just listening to a podcast or something.

I don't know if it's phone related or android version related but I can't find any information on it. Has anyone else experienced this?

I tried looking through the power save settings to see if there was some option cutting data when the phone went idle but didn't find anything.

thoughts?

Thanks
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fitchpuckman:
check to see if battery optimization is on for your VPN app....Settings > Battery > (3 dots menu) > Battery Optimization > set your VPN app to Not Optimized. Honestly not well versed in how the VPN config works, but the activity you describe sounds very much like Doze (battery optimization) is kicking in and killing your connection. For example, I turn off battery optimization on my exchange mail app and other apps that I want to ensure stay active even if my phone is idle.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Frontier3:
I have added VPNdialogs to the don't optimize list. I couldn't find anything else that was VPN related, but this doesn't seem like the proper app I need. Unless anyone knows what the VPN app is called?

Thanks for the suggestion, with any luck this will work.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fitchpuckman:
no worries, good luck with it. you may wan tot explore some of the VPNService config information in the AOSP/Dev site here. This probably starts to get into the connectivity/network aspects of the optimization, and it's hard to say how those services are isolated from general phone connectivity and the battery optimization (that is, does turning off optimization for one of the potentially related services cause a lot of stuff to go out of optimization by detraction, which could hamper battery life significantly but not in a way that's immediately obvious). You could guess and check, but another method may be to reexamine your VPN app of choice. You could try free options like OpenVPN Connect, Open VPN for Android, or Speed VPN (all free) and see if you can run your vpn through them and control battery optimization at that app's level to better success. There's also VYPR (VYPYR? spelling?) that's free up to a limited amount of data usage and could be used in P.O.C. manner to test things out. Again, I'm not a VPN expert, but I did tinker with a few of these when I was recently in China (to no avail, but not due to the apps, due to China being very Chinese/Anti-Google).

That said, we still don't even know if this is Doze/battery optimization related, but it's worth eliminating as an obvious potential culprit. I fear I'm not going to be able to help much beyond this, but have used android as a "super-enthusiast" for many years. I can also ask my buddy at work tomorrow who's a network and security freak, he might know...
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Frontier3:
Just an update, putting vpndiags out of battery optimization did not affect the issue. It's still disconnecting regularly. When I find time I'll look through the dev link posted above.

In the mean time if anyone else has any ideas I'm all ears.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Khilbron:
Just a random thought, but did you remember to check the always on box when you configure the VPN setup, so that it transmits a keep-alive packet across the tunnel to prevent disconnection?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Frontier3:
Yeah I couldn't figure out what that button was doing. When I check it the connect button greys out. I tried checking it but it seemed like it wasn't doing anything. I'll play around with it a bit more. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hello!

So I have become a crazy cat collector with Nougat. But I recently switched roms so I dont have my beautiful cats anymore. :crying: What files can I copy from my old rom to get them back into my new one?

I found this article:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/4tualq/what_i_know_about_cats_the_android_nougat_easter/

It didn't specifically say that cats can be restored but i tried copying the xml file from directory below. But it was a no-go

/root/data/data/com.android.egg/shared_prefs/mprefs.xml

Is there anyway I can be reunited with my cats. Please let me know.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0aLIV1P:
I was wondering if you ever figured out a way. I'm using a Nexus 5X so it's only a matter of time before the bootloops plague my device. Was hoping to back them up before then.

EDIT:

Would using ADB work?

adb backup -f "C:\CatsBackup20161229.ab" -apk com.android.egg

EDIT 2:

I was so close. Thanks to this Reddit post, I have used the following in a Windows Batch File to backup my Cats with a timestamp. Hope this helps any Googlers.

adb root
adb backup -f C:\CatsBackup_%date:~-4,4%%date:~-10,2%%date:~-7,2%.ab com.android.egg -system
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BxingFetus:
What I'd done was long press the cat when one came up then just shared it to my Drive folder. I've also found duplicates will most likely come up (number of the cat) but the cat will be different color.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syndrome666:
I've personally flashed numerous different nougat ROMs and different versions (7.0, 7.1, 7.1.1) in no particular order, and the Easter egg cat collection got backed up and restored on each and every ROM I've tried and used.

The way I go about this is, before I decide to switch ROMs or update using clean flash, I use titanium backup to backup the Easter egg app. Once I clean install an update or a different nougat ROM, I first unlock the nougat Easter egg in settings (tap the Android version a bunch and long press on the N animation to find the cat icon). Then head over to quick toggles, hit edit, find the cat toggle and add it to a desired slot. Finally, in titanium backup, find the Easter egg app, hit restore. It will ask what to restore, make sure you select "data only," do NOT restore "app + data," this may or may not cause system UI issues.

Requirements: Nougat ROM of your choice (any version) and root access.

This method works for restoring chrome tabs and possibly a few other system apps' data. Restoring system app(s) + data, however, will usually break things, so make sure to only restore the respective system apps' data only.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nivlac2988:
okay so i got the easteregg.ab file to back up onto my local disk, but i cannot get my phone to restore the .ab file through ADB.

ADB will say that i must unlock my device and allow the restore to complete however the phone is completely unresponsive to the request to restore, it as if nothing is happening.

what am i missing here :

adb backup -f easteregg.ab com.android.egg -system

(that puts an easteregg.ab file into c\users\xxxx)

then : adb restore c\users\xxxx

(adb then tells me "Now unlock your device and confirm the restore operation)

.....but nothing has happened and it asks for nothing on my phone and the cats are not loaded =(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Permissions. Were they set on the file when you restored it?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nivlac2988:
im not sure if i know which permissions your refering too, but the easteregg.ab file permissions are currently set to allow full control for the System, Administrator and the User.

How do i ensure the permissions are correct ?>
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The permissions were likely completely stripped from the file when it was sent via ADB. You'll need to root and do one of the following.

*Use a terminal app to set permissions.

*Use a file manager with root access, navigate to the file's location, and set permissions manually.

The correct permissions are likely rw-r--r--, which uses the number 644.

My s7 edge is not rooted.

Is there anyway to restore the easteregg kitties with out root ? i thought that was possible.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Did you downgrade from a Nexus 6 to a S7? Sorry to hear that if true, because the S7 has a locked bootloader. The file likely never transferred to where you wanted it to go, as the locked bootloader would prevent that. Thus you need to unlock the bootloader to even transfer the file. ADB may have commands to set file permissions, but my recollection on that is hazy. It would also be irrelevant if the bootloader cannot be unlocked.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nivlac2988:
oh wow! i pulled up this thread last night and didn't even realize i was on the nexus 6 groups forums haha, boooooo on me =(

no i didnt down grade lol, i never had the nexus, i am just a s7 edge owner who doesn't want to loose their kitties in a phone swap =(

and yeah i had some real difficulties getting the .ab file to even save to my computer after messing around with a bunch of variations on commands through adb.

now im getting depressed again

..hey i REALLY appreciate all this help btw =\
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Sorry to hear that. But unfortunately, unless you can unlock the bootloader, you're not going to be able to use ADB to transfer the file back. With a locked bootloader you can pull files, but not push them.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vexamus:
So I'm seeing a ton of posts of folks not able to get fastboot to see their devices. I've done some tinkering around and found a set of drivers that work fine for both ADB and Fastboot. (Attached)

Uninstall any ADB drivers you have on your system. Easiest way is to plug your phone in, go into device manager, right click your phone and select uninstall and check the box that says to remove the driver as well.

Then download this package, extract, simply run install.exe as admin. Don't panic, it doesn't do anything visual.

Now plug your phone in and see if adb works, you may need to authorize the computer again on the phone so make sure it's unlocked.

Reboot into bootloader and check if fastboot sees the phone by using

fastboot devices

If not then go back into device manager and right click on your phone, select update driver, let me select one from a list and you should see "Fastboot interface (Google USB ID)". Select this one.

Check fastboot without unplugging with the same command. Check and see if you can send commands to the phone by using for instance,

fastboot getvar unlocked

If the command fails, simply plug the phone into a different USB port and the same Google driver should install again and you should be able to send commands to the phone. Alternatively, you can reboot the phone by tapping the battery out and starting it all over again.

Now she chooches.

Lemme know if you're still having problems.

You need fastboot, not bootloader... To get it, turn off your phone, plug your LG cable into the computer, ( but not the phone yet) hold the volume down key for 5 seconds then plug it into your cable, do not release the button till your phone boots. It should boot into fastboot... Provided you have turned on USB debugging in developer settings (turn on oem unlock while you are in there too. (this is the way on the tmo V20 at least...
