started to wrote a new task, which include an automatic reboot of my phone

in specific cases

.

but I was not ready to include all cases as I saved this profile and task

Tasker do what he has to do, he rebooted my phone immediately

Phone start again, tasker is loaded, recognize to reboot my phone, do it ---> reboot loop :crying:

any hint/tips how to stop tasker from auto start? Or disabling this buggy task?

anything I can do from recovery mode? (without wipe my phone :( )

Soft reboot was the trick, tasker was not started automatic

I could start it manual and disable the buggy task

I was planning to buy a 5x soon, but the famous bootloop problem is leaving me scared, in my case I would mind it for my country because it does not sell here officially so it is unsecured exchange by LG, just the "Mercado Livre", I can theoretically buy it online, do you guys think it's worth risking and buying it?

Hi guys'

I was wondering if there are a lot of "Chinese Apps" residues that we cannot get rid of? Regardless of which Rom we use.

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Your biggest concern would be the Cheetah Mobile/CleanMaster garbage that's integrated into every ROM.

Use an app such as TitaniumBackup/SD Maid Pro/ROM ToolBox to disable it & any other Xiaomi/MIUI items you're not using.

I have a list of apps I've disabled & linked,if you're interested,just search my previous posts for it.

Some items may be broken,but,if that's the case,just figure out what's most likely causing it & re-enable those apps until it's fixed.

For example,I have MiXplorer disabled,but,I have to re-enable it to apply/change themes.

You'll find similar scenarios if you disable everything I have,as there's quite a few features that I have no use for (Fingerprint Reader/Lockscreen/etc.....

Just disable,especially system apps,do not delete anything.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] samteeee:
Thanks for replying back and excellent info.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] benziii:
You can delete some system apps without problems, but I'm not gonna advice this, as I don't have a list you can follow (and don't remember them all). I went overboard in the beginning on CN stable to see what I could get away with. This led to bootloops a couple of times. Better off disabeling as been said. That way you can re-enable if something is afoot. Removing clean master does not cause problems though, that I know. And that thing is straight up poison.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] The.Steppen.Wolf:
Samsung released kernel sources for the Exynos-powered Galaxy S7 edge nearly 10 months ago, but with the recent Nougat update rollout for the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, the demand for Nougat mandates a new kernel release for the new operating system update. The same Exynos-powered Galaxy S7 edge, bearing model number SM-G935F, now has new firmware containing Google’s new update with Samsung’s own tweaks included.

As always, these new kernel source releases are designed to help developers take advantage of the new software additions and allow them to create ROMs that the more tech-hungry among us can download onto their handsets. If you want to take advantage of these new kernel sources, feel free to download them through the Open Source Release Center (OSRC) by hitting up the link below.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] The_FNG:
I reinstalled the LG default recovery in "img" form, and attempted to run the update. Rebooting, it went into LG update mode, 1/2 (I assume 1 of 2), and stopped with an error that I wasn't quick enough to write down.

The device rebooted, and came up with warning "This device is suspected in rooting". No LG updates will install" or similar.

I used FlashFire and restored my TWRP recovery partition, and am now going to wait until someone more versed in update manipulation changes the update file "dlpkgfile" into something TWRP can work with.

I tried.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] USMC retired:
Dont do it

NEVER EVER take OTA's if your rooted, you will most likely unroot your phone. A custom ROM if it has a good developer behind it will stay updated by said Dev, your asking for trouble by loading OTA's while your rooted.

You've been warned

[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] noteseven:
Verizon blocked my note 7 and I called and threatened at least 5 people with lawsuits for breach of contract and

they magically took off the block and my note 7 works like it always did. we need a class action lawsuit against Samsung for how badly they handled a voluntary recall and definitely against Verizon for cooperating with Samsung to force us into a voluntary recall with a breach of contract by deliberately killing a device we already paid for, on an account for services in good standing since we pay our bill every month. no one at Verizon technically agreed with me but I apparently got through to at least 2 of the 5 I threatened because they did turn it back on. so when they tell you they can't, its BS. demand to talk to someone with a big enough desk to understand breach of contract and they'll fix it for you. one lady told me that her supervisor would tell me the same thing and I replied, "that's fine, i'll keep going up the ladder until I find a big enough desk to settle this." she said there was nothing she could do and I replied "i believe you, I'm just not talking to the right person yet"
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jjayzx:
Its not a voluntary recall. The voluntary was on Samsung's part, on that they voluntarily recalled the device and wasn't forced by some agency. The recall and issue with the phone is widely known. They have provided a free upgrade and a refund and credit. Yes I know there is no true replacement for the note 7, I wish there was but I guess we should complain to other companies for a competing product.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cammy253:

So if my car gets a recall will they make it so it will not start?
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jjayzx:
Look up GM EV1, it wasn't recalled but they took them all. Also there has never been such a recall to a vehicle to warrant drastic measures. Vehicles are also repaired free of charge on recalls and people don't like taking chances with their life if it was an important recall. Apples and oranges.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fourstarzzzz:
What about the Takata airbags? I would say that is a pretty dangerous recall. Why can't they "repair" my phone? I would be more than happy to have my phone repaired free of charge.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jjayzx:
Don't know about the airbags, will look that up. We all wish they would of just repaired them but at the beginning not knowing the true cause, a fix would still be a time away from now. They would have to design and manufacture a new battery. Battery would also not be the same mah rating, I know most wouldn't care to have it back. I guess they felt they might as well put the time and money into the next one.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] tricktaylor:
Well they did it....and 5 days early. No text incoming or outgoing the same with calls having the latter redirected to the evil empire themselves.

[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] eskomo:
After talking to verizon for a bit and carefully beating them up over the phone, they agreed to remove the hotline for 2 months while the Pixel XL 128 comes back into stock with notes on the account to make sure if it does get auto-hot lined they will remove it with a phone call all manager approved. Rolling out the Hot line on us 4-5 days early was the main reason they have to remove it. They are very hesitant but once you give a good consistent rebuttal, they will back down.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Bonus B:
I've had to kick and shout as well, but they did remove the hotline for outbound calls (for the time being) and my data appears to work. Only problem is that I still can not send or receive text messages and I fear that if I call VZW support about it, they will re-hotline my phone. Any suggestions to get my text messaging back?

Just got this text:

FREE VZW MSG: Reminder: Your Samsung Note7 has been recalled due to an overheating risk. Because your safety is important to us, your Note7 will stop working on or about 1/31/2017. To prevent this service interruption, please immediately upgrade to a new device by visiting your original place of purchase. In addition, to avoid being charged for your Note7, please return it to the original place of purchase within 5 days. For more information, please visit go.vzw.com/note7faq

Does this mean they will hotline all remaining Note 7's based on IMEI/ID? Or is this related to another update?

Did anyone else get this?

And do we really need to return it to avoid full charge? I have read here that this is just a threat - that they can't really collect payment under recall law precedent.

I got this text message earlier today indicating 1/26/2017 is the date. I never received a box from VZW or Samsung either.

...I'm assuming that changing the phone's IMEI (say, to that of my broken Note3) would prevent this blacklisting/hotlining from bricking my phone's network access?

I have received constant text messages from Verizon threatening to shut down my phone, return it, or pay full retail price.

I just spoke with a Verizon rep about the latest test message and was told that they are not blocking IMEI's. He said they are not allowed to do that. He actually seemed a little annoyed and tried to convince me that Samsung is the one that everyone should be upset about, not Verizon. Samsung is the one pushing out these updates to disable our phones and Verizon is innocent to all this craziness. Yeah right! He said that Samsung has something in the works to disable the Note 7's but does not know what it is. If it's in the form of another update, I say we might be Ok if we have the updates blocked.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] dottat:
Why would they need to block your imei when they can just route every call you make to customer service where you can talk to someone who doesn't know what they are talking about.

In the next two weeks they will make it so no one keeps their note 7 for use as a cell phone.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Fourstarzzzz:
Yeah the guy I spoke to said they are not blocking IMEI #'s so my thinking is they are doing it in their end. So then I figured, well okay,. I will just bite the bullet and get the Pixel XL...not so fast. Backordered until 3/10. Complete mess. Time to switch to tmobile.

Although I wonder what would happen if you switched out sim cards and kept doing it if it would mess with their system.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] dottat:
Nah...They see the imei behind the sim. All the ims features would register using imei. Note 7's goose is cooked.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Fourstarzzzz:
Oh well...time to go to tmobile then
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] dottat:
Not with the note 7 right? None of these carriers are going to treat this any differently. They all want to be done with a mess they didn't start. Can't blame them. This all falls at Samsungs feet.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Fourstarzzzz:
Yeah but if I order a sim and pop it in how will they even know or would they even bother looking.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] dottat:
Because they see the host (your imei behind it). That imei is what tells the network what all capabilities your phone has and what all to register for.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Fourstarzzzz:
Why would they even bother if it is a phone I brought myself? For all they know I paid full retail, why would they bother blocking it?
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] dottat:
I don't think you are tracking me. It's not about blacklisting you. It's about network control. They can and will route the calls originating from that imei to customer service. If you take that same SIM card out and place it into a non note 7 device your calls work route normally. See what I'm saying? It's not SIM dependent. They don't care how you obtained the note 7. They are simply going to force you off it.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Fourstarzzzz:
I mean if I switch to tmobile. If I just pop a Tmobile sim in, and it is a verizon note 7 that was not originally on their network, should be okay. Plus I have not heard of tmobile blacklisting or blocking note 7 IMEI's.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] dottat:
Ah...I wouldn't bank on that man. That imei tells the carrier everything about the phone down to the color and capacity.

i spoke with a verizon rep today on the phone and was reluctantly told that i don't actually *have* to return it - so i'm keeping it! my purchase path is a bit different from others, so i don't know if it's due to that or not. they are processing my refund manually, gave me reference #, submitted the cancellation form today, say the refund will include purchase taxes and all monthly payments made to date. the rep will call me when it is processed.

btw, avoid the customer chat reps. i come to believe that they are a junior rep with limited knowledge, limited functionality, and will often just say stupid **** and not then follow up on what they say they will do.
