[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STIDRIVER:
I think I know the answer to this.. but figured I'd ask XDA. I recently took a very regretful 2 year detour away from Android and got an iPhone 6+. I'm now back to Android with an S7 Edge (after getting the Note 7 :( ) and I also got a Samsung Tab S2. The only thing I miss about Apple is iMessage. It really was perfect. I'm looking for an app that does Text / Video chat / sync's between my phone and tablet and is available for my Apple friends. It's looking like this isn't possible. Here are the apps I've tried (and failed).

Stock SMS: Splits long messages into a million pieces. Doesn't do Video. Can't see on tablet. Just sucks out loud.

Allo: Great for text and pictures, has send/read receipts. Available for iPhone/iPad. Has times when the message takes forever to send regardless of Wifi strength. Does not sync between phone and tablet.. making it worthless!

Duo: works good as Facetime alternative. But that is all it does. Boo

Google Messenger: Seemed to be better at not parsing long texts. But had issues with WiFi. Was getting texts not sent/received. I'd turn Wifi off and they would go thru. Plus no sync between devices. No video chat. Boo

Hangouts: Seems to be the best and only choice. Text and picture messaging great, Video chat, sync's between devices great, works for iPhone. The only issue here is you are making everyone you know not only download Hangouts, but have a Gmail account. Just for you... Plus no send/received notifications.

Is there anything I'm missing? HAS to be a better way!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Bjur:
I'm just about one day of receiving my TyTN II (Kaiser), but I need some help with the accessories.

1. Where is the cheapest and best places to get accessories to Tytn II who ships internationally (Denmark)? Has to be EU countries or else have to pay extra stupid local Danish taxes.

2. Which screen protectors will protect the whole TyTN II best? Have read a long thread, without haven't found out which is the best. Have heard good things about Martins Field, but what is the most safe bet?

3. Is there a thread which have gathered a list of good applications to TyTN II, because I don't know where to start:)?

Thanks for any answers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Bjur:
Anyone that can help?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] kimtyson:
Did you search for any of this?:confused:

Can't help with number 1.

There are many good screen protectors. I got mine on eBay. Did you know the Tytn ll comes with a screen protector. Invisible shield, Boxwave Clear Touch, and NuShield are good brand names or try this on for size; http://www.epinions.com/content_1950392452

As far as question 3 is concerned, do a search for "must have apps". There are several threads in xda and many other forums. Don't get hung up on the Tytn ll compatability, just look for windows mobile stuff.

Enjoy the new toy!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Bjur:
Jep I did, but it doesn't give you much help when searching on international shipping.

I will try and search for must have, but I didn't know it came with screen protectors. Cause when I wrote the shop for what the package includes, the didn't mention that at all! Do you know how they are the ones that comes with?

I WILL enjoy it:)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vukd:
Automatic backup won't work anymore, I've unlocked boot-loader but didn't save DRM keys...can these two be related?

Android: 6.0.1, xperia Z5

Also, I've read that OTA updates are unavailable for me since I've lost DRM...does it mean that no future updates for my phone? How to update the android and sony software from now on?

Tnx in advance!
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
when you unlock your bootloader your TA partition is wiped. The TA partition is where your DRM keys are kept

you can install a kernel that has a "DRM Fix" that re-activates DRM content without the need of having your DRM (this does mean updates work since i've personaly experienced this)

you can use flashtool to download new Xperia Firmwares aswell as flash them to your phone.

(btw there are 2 flashtools, one is from sony as one is from XDA http://www.flashtool.net/index.php)

if you need to know about any of the things mentioned above usually the first few links on google help

as for automatic backup I actually have no idea why that hasnt worked but you'll need to elaborate more on that if you can.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vukd:
I've enabled xperia automatic backup and it was working until I've unlocked bootloader.

Since than automatic backup won't work at all, when I set email for backup and click 'Sign in' it hangs up there.

Also, when I try to backup to SD Card, it always stop at 50% and won't go from there.

I've flashed new firmware, device set up as new, completely from scratch, but still won't work.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tunwin27:
Yes. Z2 tablet wifi SGP511 till today I am having same problem too. Stuck at 50%. If you got solution ,Please kindly let me know.

FYI. I have locked back the boot loader. So that I can have update from OTA.

For the original DRM keys forever lost as I didn't save.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vukd:
Can you unlock it again?

The only reason I am using nova is for this reason. Is it possible to have costume icon pack on the stock launcher?.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] pcriz:
Not without Xposed and a working module (for 7.0) like Unicon.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] egren58:
???? That's a bummer. Thanks ks anyways I guess I'll stick to nova for now
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] guaneet:
You can use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.momocode.shortcuts

However you'll lose the long press feature on apps
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] egren58:
Yeah hat creates shortcuts. and only changes in home screen.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] pcriz:
Yeah if you are looking for system wide, to include notification shade , toast messages and etc, xposed is the only way I know.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bat0nas:
Hi,

My warranty is running out so I'm on the fence: look for a new phone or go the rooting and custom ROM path and continue using Note 4.

So as we have now MM and some updated apps, air command and other stuff is updated.. so what additional benefits custom ROM could give?

Speed? I do some gaming and can't complain that Note 4 is slow. It's really fast.

Disable more apps? That would be a benefit coz now not all apps can be disabled.

Remove quick connect buttons?

What else am I missing?

Launcher tweaks? But we use Nova. You don't need root for Nova :)

What else?

Thanks!!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kradcliffe:
I'm using stock MM 6.0.1 (DPB1) and it's great. Still a fantastic phone for 2016 and really fast. I only root for Titanium Backup to freeze all the crap and to boost the headphone output level.

Only wish is for universal DPI adjustment as I can't be arsed messing about with xposed framework and the like but it's not a biggie.

You can root without installing a custom ROM and it takes literally 2 minutes.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bat0nas:
What exactly do you freeze which cannot be disabled in Application Manager? And what benefits those freezed app give?

Will Greenify give any noticable battery life? As I understood Greenify needs root as well.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bat0nas:
Here's a list of my disabled apps.

What you freezed with tibackup?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aiadi:
For me the main reason for rooting is to be able to get the huge games I have downloaded over the years to all fit onto my ext SD card. I also enjoy the ability to use apps like Cerberus,, Greenify and SD Maid.... etc. to their absolute full potential.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theruizfamily:
I root phones because I want things the way I want them. For example I don't like the quick connect logos when I lower the screen to see any alerts. I also don't like how the phone warns me that the volume is getting loud. As if I don't know how.loud the phone is. Little thing like that drive me crazy. I root the phone so I can deal with those little announces like that.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
If you have to ask whether its worth rooting or not, then I am not sure you are in the right place man. Said it plenty times before, saying it again, I don't really see the point of using Android without rooting, unless you need that KNOX thingy. Why? I can't even start to mention. Take AdAway for example, and that's the first step only of a journey of countless steps.

Custom ROMs on the other hand? If you see a really good dev, then yes, like Arya, or Omega etc., otherwise no comments.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haroldlundt:
So if one isn't rooting, then one might as well use...what, an iOS device? That doesn't make sense to me. There are plenty of compelling reasons to use Android over alternate mobile OS'es, even if one is using unrooted Android. Even if one is using unrooted, unmodified, BAD skinned Android.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kradcliffe:
What exactly do you freeze which cannot be disabled in Application Manager? And what benefits those freezed app give?

I have 96 apps frozen. Mostly pre-installed crap and many system apps including all the wireless/remote/sharing stuff I don't need. You need to choose what's important to you but it makes a massive difference to battery life.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr1jker:
If you don't know what is rooting for, you should forget about it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bat0nas:
I know what rooting is and I've used it in my previous phones (Nexus mainly) for many many things.

Why? Because Nexus didn't have all the features I needed.

And now Note 4 has battery optimization feature (so no need for Greenify), all those notification buttons, quick buttons, side buttons you name it (no custom rom is needed), basic backup function works to Samsung cloud (it partially covers tibackup) etc etc.

Well.. AdAway is a different thing.
[LG Watch Urbane] marc.knuckle:
Hi guys.

when i use 'okay google' to do something such as set a reminder it goes through the motions then says 'saving' but then says 'try again on your phone'. the strange thing is the reminder actually does set properly so i dont know why the watch thinks it hasnt been successful.

i have the Vernee apollo lite phone and have just uninstalled the android wear app, unpaired the watch which reset it and started from scratch but it still does it.

something that may be connected is the google app on the phone is missing some options such as using it from any screen and retrain voice. it is up to date as confirmed on the play store page.

cheers, marc

Maybe I have horrible luck with Nexus devices but my Nexus 6 turned itself off and will not turn back on.

I was listening to youtube music on my bluetooth speaker and it shuts off(had about 75% charge) and became none responsive. after couple of music Holding series of buttons plugging in original/multiple Samsung cables has no effects on it what so ever. I had opened it and checked if battery is ok but battery isn't the issue. Any suggestion before I sell this as is on eBay?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holeindalip:
What's it say when you plug it into a pc
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExjeetzZ:
Something similar happened to me when i was listening to music on YouTube. The touch screen stopped working, I could turn the phone off and back on again but the touch sensors weren't working at all. So i unplugged the battery and kept it out for couple minutes and plugged it back in and everything started working once again. But when i restarted the phone, it wouldn't turn back on. I kept using different wires and chargers and the screen lit up after around 20 minutes. I held all the buttons while messing around with chargers. You could try letting it charge for a bit and put it in recovery if its possible.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbrookie:
Sorry for late reply. I had other important thing to attend. But when I connect to to computer there is no sign of life.

OK worth a try. I am going to open it up and let it sit for a day.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExjeetzZ:
If nothing works, your motherboard might have shorted out maybe from condensation or maybe a faulty connection. If the screen doesn't turn at all no matter what you do and there are no vibrations when getting into the bootloader then you are out of luck as its most likely the motherboard. But if there are vibrations or any sound then its the screen. I'm not gonna say it with certainty but you could possibly get a new battery and see if it's the battery(I know you said its not the battery but unless you can actually see inside the battery you cannot say its not the battery). The way i see it is you can buy a replacement battery for $20 tops and if it ends up working then you saved the phone but if it doesn't then you lose $20 max and you can sell it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbrookie:
It looks like you've read my mind.

I had replaced one with supposedly OEM end of last year., but it won't hurt to spend like $20 and see if it isn't battery issue.

Thanks,
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joho5:
Im assuming the images are the whole set of files (bootloader, recovery, system, etc...) and the OTA file are just the ota that would come over the air normally to upgrade your phone?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
They include the same stuff. OTAs dont wipe user data or require a locked bootloader.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
The OTAs on the site are different than the OTAs you get over-the-air. The ones on the site are FULL OTAs that pretty much are the same size as the factory images, give or take. The ones you get over the air are differential OTAs that require you to be on the version the diffs were made from. These are usually much smaller in size than the FULL OTAs.

FULL OTAs have one advantage over factory images in that they can be installed without unlocking the bootloader. They also don't wipe the user partition, but factory images can be configured to not wipe as well.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceehota1a:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Namuna:
Updated: Changed the title cause I'm really stuck here.

Recently re-rooted (seems I have to keep redoing the steps every few days/weeks), I was trying to fix one of the recurring issues of getting 'IMS stopped working' with EVERY phone call I try to make.

A suggested fix was to revert the imsservice.zip file in system/priv-app/imsservice/ with another version. I didn't have the ../imsservice directory so I created it and now my phone is basically useless with non-stop 'IMS stopped working' errors...Even after several factory resets and redoing ODIN.

I can only surmise the issue is that even though I'm doing a Factory Reset, that /system/priv-app/imsservice directory I created isn't getting wiped and therefore causing all the issues. Since I can't get to the directory via GUI, I was hoping I could remove it via ADB but the phone doesn't seem to be able to boot far enough to let me get-in via ADB either ('adb devices' shows the phone, but status is offline so I can't run any commands on it).

I'm at wits end here, any help is much appreciated!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Namuna:
In case anyone else (and for my own records in case I do it again) falls into this trap, here's what I finally figured out and how I fixed it:

It seems I was running an old version of ADB.exe, once I upgraded to the newest version (v1.0.36) I was able to shell into the phone and manually delete the offending /system/priv-app/imsservice directory, reboot and was back to running properly again.

Here's the specific steps:

1. Boot to Recovery Mode.

2. 'adb root' to put the daemon in root mode

3. 'adb shell' to connect to the phone to run commands via command-line.

4. 'su' to change to root user with full root access.

5. 'mount -o rw,remount,rw /system' mount the /system partition to be read/write.

6. 'cd /system/priv-app'

7. 'rm -rf imsservice' to delete the offending directory.

8. 'exit', 'exit', 'adb reboot' to exit out of root, then exit the shell and reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Binary100100:
Honestly, I think that your best bet would be to flash stock with odin, see if it boots, then re-root. If not, wipe then try again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] lt.anthonydelgado:
Odin like he said^^
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Namuna:
You guys DID see in my original post that I TRIED and RE-TRIED re-flashing with ODIN to no avail, right? If the stock ROM has the imsservice directory, then yes it likely would've worked as running ODIN would've probably overwritten the faulty one I created. Maybe. I don't know because I didn't do that.

But the solution I did find gave me direct access to delete the offending directory (while phone is in recovery mode) and didn't require starting back from scratch with using ODIN.

Thank you for the responses and trying to help though.

Hey ! :)

Thanks for your amazing job (all of you), I don't have any browser crashes since I use chrome and I remove the stock browser, I also don't have any crash with my camera. I use Google Camera for that. Here is a list of bugs I've noticed:

- Chrome (stable) has crashed the first time I've opened it (only one time, that's why I did say that I don't have any browser crashes)

- Sometimes, something like "MTP Host" crashes..

- In Allo, while sending a message, there's a little sound, that's not a bug since it's in the app... But that sound is garbled (I don't know if that word is correct, I've used Google Translate for it)

I guess that's all..

Also, I don't have robotic voice... :) Good bye ! And thanks again ;)

EDIT: About the "MTP Host" app.. it's the download app :/
