[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] churchmice:
Great, I have the same issue.

Next time the recorder stops working, please check the file permissions under /dev/snd by ls -l /dev/snd.

You should one file is with permission 600, and that is the problem. After chmod 660 to that file, the recorder will work again.

I have this issue when I received a call.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ithehappy:
Oh ****e. After doing that 660 thing the Call Recorder you say works fine but does the microphone always work then? That's my main concern. I can live without the app for a few days but not a few hours with a disabled microphone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] churchmice:
I think so, chmod 660 is equivalent to a reboot. Files under /dev are created at boot time, that is the reason why a reboot would work ( those files are recreated at boot time and the permissions are correctly set to 660 ).

I suspect there is a bug in the call recorder app made by skvalex, but seems he is too busy to confirm this issue.

---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

Actually I found this issue because sometimes my google voice assistant is not working, eg. not hearing anything. Normally, when you say something, the google voice assistant will have some animation indicating he is listening, but in my case, there is no such animation.

I then use adb logcat and found it says permission denied with a file under /dev/snd, then I spotted the permission for that file has been mysteriously changed from 660 to 600. I suspect this has something to do with an APP that has root privilege, meanwhile has something to do with voice recording. That is the reason why I am saying the call recording app may has some bugs.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ithehappy:
Precisely how I found out the problem, Assistant not responding to my voice LoL. Then downloaded a decibel metre app from Play, nothing there either. Then recorded a video, no sound. But all along phone calls always worked, no problem there at all.

I took a log myself yesterday when the problem occurred, give it a look if you want. Google Assistant, a video recording and that decibel metre apps were used in the time.

I'm going to mention the same on the topic, kindly chime in if you could please.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] PrettyPistol555:
I am rooted.

After updating to 8.1 (from 7.1.1) My trusty Call Recorder (by skvalex) no longer functions properly. (It HAD been working GREAT recording both sides PERFECTLY including while I use my Bluetooth headset)

I've posted over on that thread, but nothing much seems happening there sadly...

Is it posible that the permissions issue is causing my issue also? (Currently set to record using CAF, and it isn't creating ANY recordings at all, just a Caution triangle, says cannot record...)

Anybody know of a solution that allows recording both sides while using Bluetooth on 8.1?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] speedingcheetah:
I had that happen on my Pixel several months ago when 8.0 came out. Android O is very different than 7.

Far as i know, that app is abandoned.

I just use Google Voice to call when i want to record a call now.

I have not found any call recording apps that work properly with O.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] PrettyPistol555:
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Thanks for the response, just was NOT what I wanted to be hearing :(

Now I might be headed backwards to 7.1.2 as I REALLY need that recording.

I'm still optimistic that the SKVALEX Call Recorder will eventually work.

From my understanding of the Devs explanation of which devices his app will work on... if a phone *can* record calls (as ours was able to on previous builds) there should definitely be a way of making it work after software upgrades, especially if using root. (I have not even looked at the ROMs for my Pixel XL, but am now a little curious if a custom ROM might work...)

I'm hoping SKVALEX is working hard to solve this Oreo issue, he's got a lot of longtime customers counting on him! :D
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ominousnimbus:
Has anyone found a call recording app that works on Q?

Contrary to some of the old posts here, I was able to use ACR Pro on my XL with both Oreo and Pie. The incoming audio was slightly quiet and muffled, but passable.

After upgrading to Q Beta 5, there is no audio whatsoever, even from my mic. I also tried the highly rated Cube ACR and got the same result. The writing seems to be on the wall that G have completely eviscerated any hacks or workarounds for call recording in Q, but wanted to ask just in case.

I'll likely be reverting to Pie and staying there permanently, absent a workaround. Everything else about Q Beta 5 is stable and snappy. What a travesty.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ithehappy:
I haven't tied Q yet, probably won't until final bug-free release hits, but I am pretty sure if as long as you can root Q, there will be call recording, at least with skvalex's call recording app, the only one which worked on Pixel for me, since Pie was released.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ominousnimbus:
Thanks for the tip. However, I've never rooted my XL and have no need to, aside from this. I've opted out of the beta and returned to 9.0, where ACR works stock unrooted.

This is seriously a dealbreaker and makes me livid. I've always been one to install updates as soon as they're available, but unless something changes with the final build of Q, I'll have to figure out how to disable update notifications and will ride out 9.0 for as long as I keep this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Xrixtox:
Hi! I managed to hard brick my galaxy s7 edge and i wanna see if someone here knows if its hard bricked or soft.

Got root and had renovate rom 2.0 ( n7 port) then i wiped my phone and flashed renovate 3.3 (s7 edge stock)

my phone worked fine on startup and i started to restore my old apps through gmail. i thought it would take a while so put my phone in my pocked and let it be fore about 20 minutes then when i took it up it was complete dead. i had about 67% before it died i tried everything (vol up down home all together) for at least 15+ sec. had it charge over the night ( i noticed that the phone didnt get warm or any leds shown) in the morning i tried everything again and nothing. when i connect my phone to my computer i hear the connect sound and then it disconnect a sec later. if i hold power button down and connect it ( and dont release power) my computer recognize it as onyx8890 and if i release powerbutton it disconnects. cant boot it in any way whatsoever. so what do you think? its only a week old thats the worst part of it!

I have left it to the store I bought it from for warrantable but its still rooted and have a rom on it. well if its complete dead they cant see if its rooted so thats one good thing.

still want to hear you opinion

sorry for bad english :)

Hi guys, I have the same problem with my S7 Edge.

Can anyone help?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cyadron:
OK. So I managed to recover my phone.

The phone was dead because of a software crash(nothing on display, no LED light, power+vol. down for reset not working) and when connected to my PC - nothing (just a connect and after 1 sec. a disconnect sound).

But if I kept the power button pressed without letting go, my PC would detect the phone as exynos8890.

I tried to keep pressing the power+vol. down while connected to PC and I realized that the combo worked because after ~7 seconds the phone would disconnect and reconnect itself (but still as exynos8890).

But I tried a different approach. While connected to the PC I tried to keep on pressing power+vol. down. And I could hear that it disconnected and reconnected. But I did not let go of the buttons. And again a connect and disconnect. And again. And after literally 5 minutes of the buttons kept pressed down without letting go and countless reconnects there was finally a change. The disconnect sound was not heard after the connect sound. At that point I stopeed pressing the buttons and when I looked at the phone I could see that the battery icon appeared. Since the phone was connected to my PC, after 1 min. the battery started charging (it was charged 31%). And after that my phone booted fine.

Hi I have just bought an s7 which turned out to be a Korean G930L but I cant get any response out if it apart from the 2 bottom leds and and the blue one. No response from trying to get into recovery or download mode, basically a black screen though it does vibrate on what i think is start up. It is found by pc and Odin and charges ok, I can tell as I can see properties on pc. But no other response. Is it possible that the previous owner tried to root it using non korean rom or TWRP? Any advice on how to fix either getting TWRP on or screen to light up. I am sorry for being so vague I have pulled it apart and checked all of the connections, screen, motherboard etc but nothing. Or chuck it out or put back on eBay. I tried your idea but it only booted once in that 5 minute period so I tried without it plugged in and rebooted several times but still no screen response.

I bought the device oppo R7sm from China and when I get back to my country I discovered it contained two languages ​​only Chinese and broken English, and I have some information about the mobile devices so I root and install of Software Same model but worldwide, but the device after reboot commented on oppo logo and I could not access to it , only Using fastboot and tried to work for the Recovery Software original but tells me that the bootloader is locked and is not allowed. Please help me to dissolve. Any softwares can help to install or repair it to original position
[Oppo R7 Plus] resverse:
You'll have to install Android Debug Bridge (ADB) and Fastboot, just google how to or search in XDA University.

Once installed and ready to go, open a command prompt in your ADB/Fastboot directory (Shift+Right Click, then "Open Command Prompt here")

Once in Command Prompt, type

adb devices

and make sure you see your device.

Then type

adb reboot bootloader

You should see your device rebooting in Fastboot Mode

Once in Fastboot mode, type

fastboot oem unlock

Congrats! You should have successfully unlocked your bootloader.

Now you're free to do whatever you want with your device, including installing a custom ROM and/or Recovery

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makis_g3:
I have a micro sd card 32gb Transcend which I use as android internal memory and was working for one year.

Yesterday suddenly stopped working and my Motorola moto g(3rd) device not recognizing it anymore.

When i insert this card and starting my device it shows that it "checking" it for 2 minutes and then it shows "no card".

I would like to get my data from this card(photos and videos) is there a way?

I have a second moto g device to which when i insert this card it shows "cannot read card" and asks format "as internal" or "as storage"?

If i choose "as storage" i will lose my data?

Please move this post to the appropriate thread.

thanks for helping
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravemind2015:
The card was formatted as internal before it was stopped being recognized. So the card is tied to that phone and is encrypted. No matter which of the options (adoptable or portable) you choose, the second Moto G (or any other marshmallow phone) will format it first deleting all the data. I am not sure if you can recover your personal data though, sorry.

Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Welcome to the joys of adopted storage... It puts incredible amounts of read/write cycles on the card, causing "early" failure. Really this is not early failure, sd cards have limited writing capabilities and using adopted storage does this causing failure.

When you use adopted storage, the data is encrypted to that device and there is a decryption token generated that is stored on the device, for whatever reason that encryption token is no longer valid (likely due to a failure of the card) and the data is lost.

Your card can no longer be trusted, I would suggest replacing it.

This is another reason why regular backups of data, both manually and automatic, are essential in devices. I suggest implementing a backup plan in the future.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makis_g3:
Is there any application that can get this "decryption token" from device and read the sd card?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravemind2015:
Nope. The purpose of encryption token is to prevent the use of card in other systems. It will take a great deal of hacking to get the token and put it into another phone, that too if it's possible at all. The token is randomly generated AFAIK and is not supposed to be used between different devices.

Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Not really... IF (and that is a big if) the data is intact AND you are rooted already, the token can be retrieved via an ADB superuser shell, then you need to have a modern Linux installation that has a microSD card reader and you need a fair understanding of using the command line and mounting an encrypted file system manually. The big if here is if the file system is not corrupted, but if it wasn't corrupted then the phone would be able to use it. Also, if you are not already rooted (actually, your bootloader unlocked) then the process will wipe the device including the decryption token.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makis_g3:
If I unistall from my device applications that used to be in sd card, is there any chance for sd card to work again?

Thanks for your replies
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
No... If it can't read the card it can't use it. The fact it's checking for so long says it can do something with the card, but that operation if failing. If you are already rooted there maybe some options of manually doing an fsck but other than that the best you can hope for is to reformat the card in another device and salvage the media for non-critical usage as standard storage, but the data is lost

You could try rebooting several times, you might get lucky and it will mount by chance, but don't much hope in it.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Largamelion:
My GF has a Moto G3 2015 (1GB RAM, 8GB storage) which I had configured with a 32GB SD-card as adoptable storage. After this month's OTA, the SD-card is no longer recognized and there seems no way to recover any of the data. It also checks a couple of minutes for the SD-card and then says 'no card'. If I put the card in an adapter and a Windows pc, it says the card is healthy in disk management but it does not show the card in Explorer, I guess due to the formatting and encryption.

This is the second time her phone has issues with adoptable storage. First time the internal storage was full while there was still plenty of room on the SD-card, but this was apparently because I had only configured the SD-card as adoptable storage after 6 months of use, which caused the internal storage to have filled first. I expected adoptable storage to treat the internal storage and SD-card as one, but this is not true. I gave the phone a factory reset and immediately set the SD-card to adoptable storage before installing any apps, this took care of the problem until now.

I would not recommend using this option on any phone. Just buy a phone with enough storage and use the SD-card as external storage which is what I do on my Honor 7. I had told her to wait for the 2GB/16GB version which was going to be released a couple of months later but you know women, once they have their mind on something, they can't wait :D.

Hi everyone in the Pixel XL section,

2. If so is there a wlan_mac.bin file In it? (Or a .macaddr In /persist/wlan/)

3. What's the content of the file?

4. If it seems like a Mac address could you change the first two letters to 00?

[XDA Assist] tinkerdroid:
So, last week I got my phone rooted using Kingroot. I use an Innjoo One 3G HD phone. A couple of days later, I wanted to try out SuperSU. I installed it and it prompted me to get rid of the KingUser first. It gave me 2 options. The first option was a faster, more convenient approach. It suggested installing SuperSUME which would help me to be able to uninstall Kingroot. So, I installed SuperSUME and initiated the process of uninstalling Kingroot. After SuperSUME prompted me that it had successfully completed the process, it automatically opened up SuperSU. However, as SuperSU attempted to run, it prompted me to restart my phone. I restarted my phone, opened SuperSU again to run it again, I still got the same prompt to restart my phone. This happened like 3 times. Then I went back into SuperSUME to repeat what I had done before. This time however I noticed that the progress bar couldn't go beyond ''installing SuperSU''. I should note here that at this time, the notification bar could no longer pull down. Even when I tried to get into settings using the icon in the app drawer, it would attempt to open up and immediately close up again. I backed out of SuperSUME and then uninstalled SuperSU hoping this would make it easier to for SuperSUME to reinstall it. I had no progress. I restarted my phone hoping that a reboot would get things working fine. When the phone restarted I got a blank black screen. I pressed the volume rocker a couple of times, but nothing showed up on the screen, except this error message ''Android system is not responding. Do you want to close it?'' I restarted a few more times, but I couldn't get past the black screen. At a point I couldn't even get to the black screen anymore. I didn't get beyond the bootloop. I have searched the internet for possible solutions, attempted a couple of suggestions that seemed to make sense, like wiping data/factory reset, install from SD card, install from ADB, flash using SP Flash Tool, nothing seems to have worked yet. My device can't even be detected by my SPFT even after installing updated USB drives. I didn't enable debugging on my phone, so Android SDK Platform tools can't my device. Right now, I'm blank, not sure what else to do than look for help here. I'd be very grateful to get some help here, PLEASE :crying:
