[LG V20 Questions & Answers] imucarmen:
So I flashed a rom to test and then restored my backup and now my pattern doesn't work. Anyone had this issue before? There isn't any chance I'm using the wrong pattern because I've used the same one for ages and this pattern has been set on this rom for days working just fine. I'm not sure why it won't work now but i'm definitely never going to use a lock again because this is annoying to be locked out of my own phone lol.

If anyone knows how to get around this please help. I don't feel like having to do a clean rom flash right now :/

-------

As you can see above I was locked out of my phone after doing a backup restore. The solution can be found here I just linked the actual post so the proper user gets credit. Be sure to thank him.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] imucarmen:
I ended up having to wipe and flash a clean ROM. I tried everything I could think of and every time it failed to recognise my pattern. It's funny because usually I don't use a lock on my phone but it's actually a bit faster to get into them with the fingerprint reader so I started using it. But I'm just sticking with swipe to unlock for now on because it's highly annoying to get locked out your own phone especially when you know for a certainty you are using the correct code.

I did do a little google searching on the issue and found that it has happened to a lot of S7 owners and most seem to get it working again with a few reboots but that didn't work for me. I wiped cache and dalvik, pulled my battery and left it out for ten minutes, rebooted many times, and every time it failed to recognise my pattern. Sucks because I had just got my phone setup exactly how I wanted after several days of configuring and tweaking.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] slkpmp:
I had the same issue today.

And I always use the same pattern, which it wouldn't accept. When I had a S7E, I remember having to delete finger prints before making a backup.

I guess I'll start doing the same with the V20.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dimm0k:
I had run into this same thing myself, but luckily someone on IRC mentioned the fix to me... if you boot into TWRP and rename/move/delete the /data/system/locksettings.db file, you should be able to get back into your device with a swipe. for some reason after restoring a backup of your /data, that file's contents are no longer valid. if anyone has an explanation why, I'd love to hear it...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] imucarmen:
I considered that perhaps in the future it would be wise to change it to swipe to unlock before doing the backup. But I know myself and I would forget so for now I'm just going to use swipe :)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] imucarmen:
Thanks! You answered about an hour too late! lol

I knew there had to be a solution. Well at least this thread exist now for those who have the issue in the future. I'm going to put your post in the OP. Thanks for sharing the solution.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dimm0k:
no problem. keep in mind that this does expose a security risk that anyone can get into your device...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] slkpmp:
Luckily I still have my back ups.

Thanks for this.

Need to do this but I cannot get into twrp. Adb not working with locked screen. Any idea how to boot into twrp with hardware keys?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dimm0k:
turn device off. hold the vol-down and power button to turn device back on. release the power button for a second after you see the LG logo and press the power button again all the while holding the vol-down.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Nrod0784:
Yeah I figured it out last evening. I spent last two days flashing and my mind got twisted haha.

LG V20 Reset Password with LG Find My Mobile

Another option would be to use LG’s Find My Mobile (Find My Android), similar to Find My iPhone. You can use the “Remote Controls” feature on your LG V20 which will allow you to temporarily reset the password and bypass the lock screen on the LG V20. If you have not already registered the LG V20 with LG, try registering it as soon as possible

Register the LG V20 with LG

Use the Find My Mobile service to temporary reset the password

Bypass the lock screen using the new temporary password

Set a new password

LG V20 Password Reset with Android Device Manager

Another solution to reset the password on the LG V20 is for those that have already registered their LG V20 with Android Device Manage. When using Android Device Manger to reset the password, all you need to do is activate the “Lock” feature. The “Lock” feature on Android Device Manger will allow you to get the LG V20 password to reset when you have forgotten the password on the LG V20.

Go to the Android Device Manager from a computer

Find your LG V20 on the screen

Enable “Lock & Erase” feature

Then follow the given steps on the page to lock your phone

Set a temporary password

Enter the temporary password on your LG V20

Create a new password

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dimm0k:
I have a feeling if you use the Android Device Manager, it will wipe your data when you reset... haven't verified it, but that seems to be what the wording states...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] BROKEN1981:
I restored my backup again so I could get locked out, it worked lol. I tried that method but it did not work. Google detected I had a screen lock method on, so it would not overwrite the pin.

Have no clue on how the LG version would work.

Sorry, but I can't post in the Tizen developer forum.

I tried it with web and native app. What can be the cause?

I'm a long time user of AdBlock Plus, but recently switched my browser to UBlock origin. ABP hasn't been updated for android in a while, so I was wondering if there was a better alternative, or a round up review I could read. Most of what's online is from 3-5 years ago, which seems odd that we need ad blocking now as a form of anti-malware software.

What is a good system wide ad blocker on Android? I have root on my device.

I'd like it to play well with OpenVPN and cell connections too. ABP seems to break on occasion when on cell connections.

I have been using DNS66 lately and have noticed that I have almost no ads any more either in my browser or in any apps I use. Like you, I used AdBlock for a long time but also noticed it becoming less and less useful as time goes. But I read a digest type review of ad blockers recently and DNS66 was at the top. Since I have started using it, I have noticed less ads (virtually none), also a noticeable increase in page load times, app load times and most significantly in the amount of data I use each month. Between using this DNS level ad blocker and removing facebook and replacing it with Metal Pro, I am now using half the data each month, getting noticeable increases across all web related traffic and I am much happier for it.
[Android Apps and Games] salmanfarisy:
AdAway + Minminguard + Ad-free YouTube combo is the most powerful adblocker for rooted Android.

Dns66 is fast and lightweight adblocking solution for no-root Android devices, but since it is using VPN service, you can't use it with other VPN service like openVPN as Android only allows one VPN service running.
[Android Apps and Games] kos25k:
before some days i unrooted to receive just an OTA.When i opened tapatalk i couldn't believe my eyes.in every screen there was an add that was taking muuuch place on the screen.i had to scroll many times to find what i wanted.i read that minminguard removes both the add and the token place of screen that add was.adaway i think removes only the add.i couldn't imagine my device with adds.and i definitely even would root just to install only addaway programs..
[Android Apps and Games] salmanfarisy:
Not in my case. No root Android + dns66 combo is enough for me, as I can find alternatives for ad-bloated app almost every time. Less than 5 apps with ad banner in my device, which blocked perfectly by dns66.

I use Palringo... works wonderfully. Just so that you know, on T-Mobile since you are on Edge/GPRS it uses the same radio hardware as the voice calls. It is impossible to have both a Data (Edge/GPRS) and a Voice call at the same time. So you will be kicked off on all programs until they roll out their 3G network and you have a compatible device. 3G technology uses different radios and allows you to have voice and data calls active at the same time.

Where can I obtain the OpenVPN Connect apk? I thought that they had it on the openvpn.net website, but I can't seem to find it.

If thy are no longer hosting it, what are some reputable places I can download it from? I stumbled across it on APK4Fun, which seemed to be OK, but I had never heard of it before.

I'm looking for the apk outside of the Play Store to keep my IP away from Google, since they log it. After a period of time, they remove some of the identifying information, but they still keep 3 octets worth permanently. You can read up on it here and here, thought they are older articles on the topic.

ROM devs...Get ready to start building some beautiful AOSP ROMs for the pixel and pixel xl!!!! It's time!!!!

OK, these are the mini dynamic Gapps built by the pure nexus team. I edited all the scripts within the package to flash properly to our pixel devices. I have tested them myself with a custom ROM and they work perfectly! The instruction are really ridiculous but please trust that at this point, it's the only way to get them working and bypass dm-verity!

Without further stall I give you the package that will allow us pixel user to have custom roms!!!

Moderator EDIT: link removed

Now for the hard part...You must follow these I structions down to the letter or it won't work...If you don't do this exactly, don't cry to me or anyone!

First flash the custom ROM of your choosing and let it boot all the way into the OS, please follow the ROM developers instruction for this.

Next, after the ROM boots, reboot into the bootloader.

Once in the bootloader, fastboot boot twrp.img to get into twrp.

Once in twrp, flash the twrp.zip and flash SuperSU.

After flashing those, go to the home screen of twrp and then to mount and mount the system, after mounting the system, flash the Gapps package.

Then wipe data and reboot your device.

Wait forever.......profit!

There you have it folks...The most convoluted way to flash Gapps ever made...But for the moment, it's the only way I have found!

Credit for to beanstown for making the Gapps package

All I did was edit the way and places that it flashes to better accommodate the pixels partition system.

Please everyone enjoy!

I will be getting these uploaded elsewhere in the near future but for now, drive should work just fine.

Big thanks to the pure nexus guys for the Gapps package!!!

Wow what a set of instructions tho lol, fingers crossed it will get simplified at some point! For now tho Awesome!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BakedTator:
Well the package was built by beanstown, I just toyed with the scripts inside to get the apps and stuff to go to the proper place...I know the dm-verity is what makes it so hard to flash....If you flash root right after a ROM without booting it will result in a bootloop

[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] Turivol:
Hi, I was using AICP for the last days, and it was working great. But today my phone went haywire and the capacitive buttons stopped working. I flashed RR 5.8.0 and they remained not working, and are still not working after I fastboot'ed back to MIUI 8 Lollipop. They're gone for good or maybe there is something I can do?
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] Zoresta:
ummm , well I didn't exactly understood the meaning of captive button , but

If it means :

1. buttons for back and home , you may use either quickball or foo view app from play store to perform the same function as these apps .

2. power button and volume button , volume may be controlled via settings > sounds and vibrations . No idea about power button.

Hope it works coz if you visit service centre , they will ask you to change motherboard worth 4-5k .
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] Turivol:
Thanks for the advice, and you're right, the capacitive buttons are the menu, home and back buttons, down in the front. I installed a pie control app that I found here at XDA, and it works pretty great, but takes some time to get used to it. If its possible to repair the buttons, without changing any hardware because I'm broke as hell right now, I would like that.
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] aashishdamrait:
Is it in warranty?

If not get a screwdriver. And open your device. Remove and connect the plugs in board.

Search YouTube for redmi2 teardown follow the video only if you think you can do it.

Hope their might be any loose connection or something may be doing this can fix but there is a very less chances of success

Hello.

Vauxhall Corsa E (Radio CD 3.0 BT) in my country this car is called "Opel Corsa E" ;)

I have a HTC 10 without branding in stock state. (EU is stuck to marshmellow 6.0.1)

I live in germany. I am forced to 6.0.1 marshmellow until now.

I was interested how the connection is with the latest update, since:

- Internet passthrough was not enabled automatically on BT connection until now

- And if the connection still takes ages sometimes when you enter the car e.g. while the phone is in powersaving mode

- And sometimes when i leave the car with music enabled and get back to it and power the car up i have to reboot the phone to get the music to work.

- When an incoming call arrives it does not show the imported contacts name just the number?

How's it?

Thank you!

PS.: Telephony speaking clarity and quality is fine. Music quiality with boomsound enabled is awesome on 6 speakers.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] TheModzOn:
So, I own a Galaxy J500h, which is limited in memory size (8GB, 4GB available). But now, the cache keeps growing over the 500mb and also the data of the Google Search app keeps growing up to 100mb, causing insufficient storage problems. I don't even use the Google app and almost never open it (I use just Chrome).

So the question is, how to stop these apps from growing? Model no. is J500h on stock 6.0 marshmallow.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xa3phod:
I am trying to find a nice case for my Z ultra. I already have a flip case, but I want a case like an otterbox; open shockproof, protect the phone kind of case. But the models of the Z ultra are confusing. On the outside, are all these model numbers the same?

C6802/XL39h	PY7PM-0530	Worldwide	Quad	Penta	N/A	[19][20]

C6806	PY7PM-0430	North America	Quad	Penta	1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 17	[21] Google Play Edition[22]

C6833	PY7PM-0410	Worldwide	Quad	Penta	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 20	[23]

C6843	PY7PM-0620	Brazil	Quad	Penta	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 20	[24]

SOL24	PY7PM-0700	au by KDDI (Japan)	Quad	CDMA JP 800 (BC0), 2100 (BC6);

UMTS Bands 1, 2, 5	1, 3, 11, 18	[25]

Most cases I see are for the XL39h, will those cases work on my C6806? I thought the only difference was which bands worked, but everything else was the same. Are they the same and will cases for the XL39h work on the C6806?

Just replaced my second screen...so you can see why I need something that will protect really well.

Thanks a ton for the info.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Well I guess I'm aswering your question.

Yes the dimensions are the same for all of them. However your search results will vary using the different names. Most sellers in asia are using xl39h but some use sol24. Many use C6806 and most of them includes xperia z ultra in the title along with that name they choose.

Searching only for xperia z ultra today will not give many results because of its age. When you click the ad it will be for example the xperia x and so on..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xa3phod:
So the XL39h case will fit my C6806? All the different model numbers are identical on the outside is what you are saying and a case for one will fit any of them?

Yes the dimensions are the same for all models.

flybook A33i it does most things the shift can do with enougth funds left (got one with extras for a bargain price) to keep my athena or artemis if i choose so i dont lose gps or i might just get a bt gps receiver but this was a bargain it even makes phone calls out of the box :D
[Shift General] zoidster:
Agreed , I am sick of waiiting ! and more to the point - since waiting for the Shift , which I was DEFINATELY going to buy , even though I had just bought an Ameo, I have bought two similar devices

I bought an Advent U1a - which is the same as a Tabletkiosk i7209 , I have uprgraded the ram to 2GB and the thing absolutely flies now ! I am using it with a Hawaei E220 USB modem , and a tiny little usb keyboard

Also , I have an Asus EEE PC ,

I paid £199 (!!) for the U1A (plus £30 for the RAM and £20 for the keyboard ) - I also paid £99 for the USB modem , which gives me HSDPA - so lets say £350 for a device that may not look as pretty as the Shift , But I'd bet it outperforms it !

And then there is the EEE PC , OK , pitifull amount of storage (4GB) - but I have an 8GB SD card - £220

Having enjoyed these two for a good few weeks ( months , in the case of the Advent) - I really wouldn't be able to justify the huge cost of the Shift anymore - and beleive me , I am not normally one to 'cop out' of these things on the basis of price

If the Shift had been available 6 months ago , I would have bought one - no question !

But for me it is too late !
[Shift General] Pfeffa-rah:
Battery Time

I am looking for a device with a loooong battery time. If the shift could run a full Windows Mobile there would be no alternative (with possibillity to switch to full windows that is).

So, I will still wait for the shift, and then wait some more untill someone can get full WM to run on it.

Unless one of you know a nice UMPC that has a battery life of about 5 hours? Because that would just do for me.
