[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JmakeITlookEZY:
So proceed as pleased, if I feel risky or got an extra Shamu I'll shoot in the dark and post the results. :3

More info:

What the consequences are really depends on your device. Most devices enable signature-verification for the boot partition (kernel) which prevents you from booting any kernels not signed by device manufacturer (unless you exploit some security breaches like 2nd boot). They also disallow you to flash any partition via 'fastboot flash' command, but not on all devices.

So no, you are not okay with relocking your phone: If you use custom firmware, you typically use a custom kernel and in this case, re-locking your bootloader via 'fastboot oem lock' will put your device in a state where it will not boot anymore! Be careful with that.

Info source: http://android.stackexchange.com/users/89475/kuleszdl

Idea: Disable signature-verification?

Note: Everyone thinks it will brick no one has said it happened, very strong possibility signature-verification is enabled. ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
are you an secret agent or something?

why the extreme paranoia about having this phone?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gysper:
I agree.

[MENTION=7904114]JmakeITlookEZY[/MENTION], Basically, if your trying to say they want to give someone a phone that cannot be unlocked after locking it, then this isn't the device for you. There is an 'OEM Unlock' to prevent this but to hide this setting, would have no idea . And if you lock the bootloader and then someone wants to unlock it, it has to wipe the device.

Just have to live with the fact if someone wants to try and unlock the device, it's gonna get wiped no matter what. I'm no security expert but if you're worried something is going to happen to your phone, then you shouldn't be using it.

And if your really concerned, using a screen lock will prevent users from going into the recovery or booting the device anyways.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JmakeITlookEZY:
It would be nice to feel confident enough to leave my device lying around or even lose it and know that it will either be returned or discarded.

I believe that level of security should be an option, not to mention have the ability to do it to begin with.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gysper:
Yeah its called GPS :)

google Android Device Manager and use the locate device. You can even lock it if lost and erase all data.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JmakeITlookEZY:
Not really a concern, if someone decided to keep the device the first step would be turn it off.

*More than likely reset from there epically considering encrypting the device would be a given.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gysper:
Buy a tracking device and hack the phone. Problem solved :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JmakeITlookEZY:
Care to elaborate "tracking device" & "hack the phone" just dosen't seem to be what I'm shooting for.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gysper:
So you don't work for the CIA...

Let's be real, if you have no trust when something gets lost, then you don't deserve it. Should do your research and check out how to prevent something if it get's lost: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/what-really-happens-when-a-smartphone-is-lost-195321

This is not a suicide hotline thread, if you're scared about losing something and not getting it returned, then I have to say you have a serious episode of OCD. Don't be that guy and learn to live with the consequences.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JmakeITlookEZY:
Just to be Frank this is about information and general purpose security how you perceive it, is whatever.

*Also to address the "you don't deserve it" my concerns are the opposite it's not that I don't deserve it, more the other way around.

Update: Found more information that pretty much sums up what I hope to accomplish aswell as the implications.

[General Questions and Answers] colunizator:
OK, so most of us already know about "Google device manager" feature or Samsung's "Find my Phone", you can lock your phone, erase all the data, locate it if it's online.

But in all this cases your phone can be still hard reseted (vol button + home button + power button, any of this combinations) and be used again.

What am i asking is, if you got your phone lost or stolen, can you lock completely your android phone, so any bad guy who find it and doesn't want to return it, can not use your phone at all (hard reset feature disabled), so the only think the thief has left is to throw the phone away or to sell it for pennies for it's battery, screen and so on. :confused:

P.S. This feature is already included in all iphones
[General Questions and Answers] GeTex:
This feature is not on iphones, a simple bootstrap and DFU mode can still initiate a wipe

Also if a thief still wants, they just have to JTAG the device and wipe it that way.

Reactivation lock is a better alternative
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] nlinecomputers:
My Smart Lock based on GPS location is no longer working after this update. I can recreate the locations and it will work once or twice but not after that. Can't see that GPS location is being turned off. Anyone else seen this. System is unlocked(sunshine from two builds back) but not rooted.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Einsteindks:
Maybe need to refresh the GPS data. Lotsa free aps for that. Check for location fully on/no battery saver?

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] onesolo:
Dear cookers and chefs, I would like to order a simple thing, if possible, so that dinner would be perfect :D. Can you guys re-introduce the WPA2 authentication protocol into the wifi network config?? A lot of people over here miss that. It's a default and oficial from Wm6 and latests Wm5 akus.

P.S. - Can anyone explain me why it was removed from the latest sets of cooked roms??
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] netonumu:
You must really like to read you name here

If it's so simple, why don´t you do it?

And how many times do you want to post the same thing?

I don´t want to copy varanusvincent, but do you really think that now someone will cook that? To you? Please, grow up and respect the people that really work.

Or did you bought xda-developers and now is forbidden to make any questions??

I guess I now have to know every single person that cooked the rom... and apart that correlated immediately that if someone cocked the rom with another one, for ex. Cloudyfa, then WPA2 is left out...

Don't get me wrong, but you have a fixation with me. I advise you to focus all your attention to aid the Wm6 Prophet community...

You post this things on VISTA EDITION

In the HTC Album, I cannot exit with the Ok button and it doesn't appear the cross to exit. Also when clicking over a picture it doesn't appear the menu. This version must be a bad one...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
And I'm sure you missed some posts....

@onesolo:

It seems that the WPA2 defect is a problem of the latest WM6 release. As this ROM are build on that one. Perhaps you better adress your request to Microsoft?

Anyway, as said, it looks like no one can help and the solution is simple, so: contribute!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] onesolo:
Every one is saying that I'm being rude, that I don't contribute and help, but till now almost everyone couldn't explain to me why WPA2 is out.

If in previous cooked roms that I tried till now, from 4.0.0.3a to the Mysterious 1.0 (all from PDAViet), I never had any problem with WPA2, it's normal that if that thing is suddenly not there to ask what happen to it.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Cloudyfa:
That's bc of the drivers we use in most recent ROMs come from WM5 (Offical ROM for Prophet), and the older ROMs use drivers from Wizard WM6.

But i think i can fix it, maybe it'll be avaiable in my next version. :cool:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] snaketnn:
I got some problem !!!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
We all have, from time to time...... You have my sympathy.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] onesolo:
Thkx for the feedback and the reason why WPA2 was not included. There's always a reason...

I'm here to test it if you release a rom with it!! Keep on going Cloudyfa!!!

By the way, if my Mysterious 1.0 device was not running slow and with a battery drain (not in the beginning) I wouldn't be dragging the forum to this conversation, because I wouldn't need to change to a new rom.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] animelover:
It would be great if you can provide a patch for older ROMs because I'm using your ShadoW and don't want to change the ROM again!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dulcificum:
I have had a M-G900F running CM for some time. The hardware seems pretty tough. Accidentally dropped it about 5' onto a hard tile floor and it turned off. No big deal I thought, screen still intact, just put the back on and reboot it. Nothing. Nothing whatsoever. Symptoms:

When pressing power button, phone vibrates as if turning on but nothing happens, it does start to get warm though

No sounds or other indication that it's just the screen disconnected

No lights while plugged into charge

Can't get into download mode or recovery mode

Tried multiple other batteries, no difference

When plugged into WIndows PC, recognised as Android device and drivers automatically installed

Other than that, zero signs of life whatsoever

Is it gone forever? Which hardware part is likely to be at fault?

I'm not too bothered about the phone itself but I do want the data on it. Without being able to power it on, is there any way at all to get data off the phone? USB jig?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
sounds like your screen died
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dulcificum:
It's not the screen as above - no boot up sounds, no response to normal button presses after giving it time to boot up.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
but does anything ever show on the screen when booting?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dulcificum:
No.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
thats why i say you may have a dead screen. common fatality in S5's
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dulcificum:
All the evidence points to it not being a dead screen. Otherwise it would make boot noises etc.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
if the screen doesnt do anything nor the light on the front but it vibrates, its likely the screen is dead or the ribbon cable going from the GPU to the panel went bad, but i dont think its bricked. There are cables that will show the phones display on a tv or monitor via hdmi that could prove or disprove my theory, but its pointless. A replacement screen will likely fix it, but the cost to do so would make me balk at that option

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

thats all well and good, but it could also be part of the mobo having died with the screen. Not sure. But if it vibrates when the power button is pressed, its obviously doing something.... anyways, i think its a paperweight at this point
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dulcificum:
I hope you're right that it's just a dead screen. My instinct says it's something more serious. Is it worth stripping it apart myself and trying to reattach the ribbon cable? Or perhaps I could buy a screen off ebay, attach it long enouhh to recover files then sell it on again?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
If you can get it into stock recovery and blindly navigate to the usb mount, you should be able to get your files off it

I've tried that which doesn't work which again makes me think it's not just the screen :(
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] irule311:
I have been trying to transfer files to a network share from my device recently, but I have been getting unbearable speeds of 800kbps. I have been using Es File Explorer with a test file that I used to transfer to the Windows 10 machine and back. When I transfer to the machine, I get 800kbps, but when I transfer in reverse, I get 7.5 MB/s! Its is significant speed increase in reverse.

This may look like it is a problem with my network or computer, but I don't believe it is. I have been able to transfer at 60 MB/s to and from another wired computer. Iperf3 shows ~200mbps over wifi, and speedtest maxes out my 90/12 connection.

I have also tried some other file managers namely Solid Explorer that has given me ~3.5 MB/s to the Windows 10 machine. All other file explorers have given me the same 800kbps.

I also have a Nexus 6P that gives me the same issue as the Pixel. I have even factory flashed it from scratch and get the same results.

The real kicker with this is that I used to be able to transfer at a solid 12 MB/s a few months ago when I last tried.

Is anyone else having this problem? Can any of you try a test transfer to a desktop on the network?

Thanks!

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] brownd7380:
I just sold my honor 8. I can buy another 8 at a discount or buy a new Moto g5, a used s6, a used S7(already bought an sold one for 250) or I can roll with my Moto g4. So should I roll with the honor 8 again? How you guys feel?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] johnhux7:
I personally think that the Honor 8 is a great phone.

At the mo I wouldn't change mine for any other phone.

It is the only phone that I have ever had that I had not felt the need to root.

I know that some folk hasn't been happy with updates but I'm using mine alongside my flatmates Pixel and he has only had one or two more updates than I have.

Honor are still saying that they will release thier source code for the emui 5 kernel.

Once they do that and we get a fully working lineage 14.1 then we will have access to the custom ROMs that we need

I guess it comes down to what you want your phone for ?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] brownd7380:
I really like good development and battery life. Honor 8 was great but the lack of development and terrible nougat battery life really put me off.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] johnhux7:
The development side of things I really believe will come.

We have some very talented developers working on lineage 14.1 at the mo.

They are nearly there without getting the source code from Honor so once they do release it we will be well on our way.

As for battery life you have to be patient with your phone.

The phone will learn your usage habbits but it takes a good 4/5 days for this to happen.

If you keep playing about with your phone you don't give it a change to learn.

My battery life was all over the place when I reset my phone but after a week of normal use I'm getting a good 24 hours out of it & that's good enough for me.

I went into a phone shop yesterday and there was not one phone on there that looked and felt as good as our Honor 8
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] brownd7380:
It's a beautiful phone no doubt.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Telperion:
I don't think there's a better combination of price, features, design, camera, performance, and battery life out there right now at a comparable price.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] firdausJamil:
IMO the OnePlus 3 has the best value. The camera might be inferior but it's still acceptable especially if you only use it for social media.

The thing that brought me here instead of the OP3 is because this is a smaller phone. Period. That's the only reason that swayed me here. Heck it's even cheaper than the Honor here in the UK. But if you don't mind the size, OP3 is the better choice.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Oitanigami:
Having the honor 8, I can't imagine using another phone that doesn't have IR blaster
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Telperion:
Granted you're UK, but the OnePlus 3 is a full 25%-30% more expensive than the Honor 8 and the camera is worse. When you're spending $400 for a phone, that puts you in a completely different price point -- that brings in options like the Nexus 6P, which I'd buy over a OnePlus 3.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Abhishekjain01:
Honor8 is nothing less than Precious Jewel in hand..

Yes, Huawei Honor8 can be a perfect choice if you are looking for a mobile in mid range phones. Its nothing less than a precious Jewel in hand.

As i personally own this phone so i’ll say that Honor8 gives better performance as compare to Moto g5. I must say if you are looking phone in this range you should go with Honor8 if you dont want to regret in future.

Don’t you believe on me visit NDTV Gadgets comparison page and check see the comparison done by them.

If you're lucky and your localization has more options, so you can simply lock 4G in menu:

Settings / More / Mobile Network / Preferred Network Type
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] RR-99:
What happens if you 'lock' the phone to 4g and you move out of 4g coverage? Or your 4g cell is overloaded?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] 5[Strogino]:
Sure, it will lost signal.

But, there is no doubt if you're​ living in city. No overload and good coverage. In that case it's​ probably better to lock 4G or 3G instead of getting series of jumps from 4g to 3g and back. Well, it's personal choice.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] RR-99:
Well my personal choice is to be sure of staying connected. I don't look to see if the phone is on 3g or 4g.

It doesn't matter to me which it is on unless I have a big download. And if I have a big download I would rather it slows down on 3g than drop out and lose it.
