I am sure it's only a matter of getting the phone in more hands before the button issue is fixed and can be remapped or disabled. Some people are way over reacting.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xile6:
Well if enough people make complains about it. Maybe the will let us disable it.

If samsung was smart they would simply let you remap/disable the button in the OS.

But i guess its there little baby and they dont want it messed with
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
I can confirm, after updating now to the latest firmware, that the remaping apps that was working are no longer working. Pixby is the only option, however it updated few Pixby related apps from Samsung apps after this firmware update.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] el scorcho:
This has been going on with my V20 for a while now and I cannot figure it out, but when permissions pop up on newly installed apps or when an app asks for permission the text shows up in odd characters and also adds text like "one two three four five six seven..." at the end. Only when apps ask for permission and on the top of the permission screen when I look at individual app permissions. My fear is some sort of virus that my antivirus did not catch. Anyone ever see this before and know what to do about it. Phone is completely stock.

Edit, I tried to post pics but since I don't have enough posts, it won't let me...
[General Questions and Answers] CloeNi:
Hello everyone!

I would like to ask you something and i REALLY HOPE someone will be able to help me out.

I have a samsung s5 sm-g900f with Android 6.0.1 and i'm trying to root it.

Actually it was supposed to be rooted when i got it -it's my bf's phone. And...aaam i don't know if it's called "rooted" when it just have custom recovery and rom? I just call it that way-. Yesterday i installed root checker and Super SU and the Super SU keeps saying that "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it" and that if i have Android 5 i should re root manually and stuff.

I have tried like everything i have found on the net since yesterday, flashing with Odin, changing recovery from twrp to cwm, and all the time the steps are made by letter, all seems fine, i see the red pirate android after the recovery reboot and all that, have tried to install the UPDATE-zip and the BETA-zip and all i could find. I tried to install Kingroot but i couldn't figure out how. My recovery nor Odin can see the file to install it and then i try to do it manually, like all apps, it says could not be installed. :crying:

I got really tired and i cave in to ask for help here. I hope the post is in the right place and if it's not please move it where it should be!

Thank you in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Since you can flash custom recovery then your bootloader is already unlocked so....

Do a search for "flashing SuperSU.zip Galaxy S5" or you might need to search for "flashing SuperSU.zip in systemless mode galaxy s5". Flashing one of those should give you root and su binaries, after flashing, boot the device and open the SuperSU app and update the su binaries then reboot the device. Then after rebooting, you need to go to system settings>developer options>root access and set it to "apps and adb", then install a file manager that has a root explorer such as ES File Explorer, then open it, tap the menu button, go to the "TOOLS" tab, find "Root Explorer" and turn it on, then when you see the next menu, tap "Mount R/W", then set all listed partitions to "rw".

If you can access your SELinux profile, make sure it's set to "permissive" mode.

If you can get all of that set then you'll have access to modify and control pretty much anything you want about the device.

[General Questions and Answers] CloeNi:
So i'm trying to follow your instructions right now. I guess it's ok if i install recovery upon recovery and SU upon SU without first removing the "faulty" one?

Cause i have done the first steps a lot these days

edit: i flashed again aaaaaand nothing new happened. The SU binary is nowhere to be found :/

some say it could be a problem of the cable or the computer?

Should i try from a different pc and cable? I do not really understand it but i'll give it a try later

edit 2: i retried from another pc and another usb cable, the same happens. Does not install the SU through the recovery :(

I installed the SuperSU (actually enebled it again and updated it) from playstore and opened it and it says the sme thing again. Can't find su binaries and stuff.

What should i do? Is format a solution or can avoid it?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Projektor:
Hi there. So I've got a Nexus 7 (2012 WiFi) that I've had since launch. It's obviously quite old now and thus it's incredibly slow. I had issues updating it to the latest version of Android that was made available by Google for it to the point that I had to sideload the update using adb. Basically, the reason I even bought it in the first place was to use it as a dedicated digital comic reader. So that's kinda what I want to use it for going forward. But in its current state, it's just so slow and sketchy, I'm hoping to flash a new ROM or some kind of custom stripped-down version of Android with just the basics to extend the life of the device. The size is great and the screen still looks great, but many stock features are no longer necessary for my purposes. If anyone has any suggestions on a good way to strip down features to improve performance, or advice on a good ROM that's been known to greatly improve the performance of this dated device, that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Projektor:
It's been a while since I've touched this stuff, but I recall that my Nexus 7 is rooted already. That being said, I'm not sure I remember how to Flash ROMs etc.

Could I trouble you for some help with instructions on how to achieve this?

Thanks again...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtherrell:
I know I risk the wrath of the purists here but Wugs Nexus root toolkit or the Skipsoft one are handy. If you want to truly get down to the nuts and bolts you can do as the purists suggest and use the ADB /Fastboot command interface in the Android software development kit.

You will use one of those to install a custom recovery such as TWRP. You will then download the rom (and gapps) if not already included. You may also need SuperSU to handle root management. You flash roms, gapps, etc. through TWRP.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Projektor:
Thanks for the response. I'm just about finished my Root + TWRP with Wug's kit.

Coming from the stock nakasi-lmy47v-factory (5.1.1)

So I think at this point, I've:

-unlocked the bootloader

-installed TWRP 3.1.0-0-grouper.img

-Rooted using SuperSU v2.79-SR3

Just based on what I've done, and my intention to flash a custom version of Pure Nexus, my rooting may have been redundant for now and will need to be done again?

I guess the next thing I need to determine is if I need to flash a new Kernel. I'm currently using 3.1.10-gf5d7b8b stock Kernel.

Oh, and decide if I should switch to F2SF.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Projektor:
I've successfully got Pure Nexus running with Parrot Mod installed, and it's running beautifully! I opted not to bother switching to F2FS, but may take a look in the future. Thank you so much wtherrell for all your help!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] x10Mark:
Doesn't the Xperia XZ Premium have the option for a wrist(lanyard) strap?

My z5 has a special gap at the bottom for such a strap, but I haven't seen it on the bottom.

I won't get a phone I have my kidneys sold for just to have somebody bump into me making me drop my phone for hundreds in damage so are there secure cases that you can attach a wrist strap to?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] shineyads:
Oh dear god... maybe you shouldn't buy a phone if you need to have it strapped to your wrist when you use it. Never seen anyone ever use a wrist strap with a phone.

Seriously, if you're that worried about damage then get a decent case (a massive one to protect it, if you must) and a tempered glass screen protector.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] fiarfox888:
not only for damage ^^ i like it when i had it in a bag and can pull the phone out.. i will miss it too -.-*

still it looks stylish :P
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] x10Mark:
My xperia z5 died because someone bumped into me just when I was making a call, if that happens again I don't want to be set back 400 euro's or more. I didn't wear a wrist strap then because the phone's remaining value was about 300 so I wanted to use it without being limited too much by a strap or huge case that probably won't work anyway.

And that z5 had the official sony case around it, but it fell on it's corner and boom screen gone, vibration gone, bottom speaker gone, microphone gone and finger print scanner gone. Replaced the screen and mic and the fingerprint scanner worked for one day and broke again.

Hence why I want a new phone, but I want to actively use it because the thing has all sorts of camera features that I don't just use for selfies and cat video's and I'm outside with my phone about 6 hours a day. So I thought better prevent a fall with a wriststrap than have a huge case on a huge phone and still have the thing shatter on the first drop.

I'm looking for like a slim case with a wrist strap option, so when I am on my rowboat I can take the thing with me too and wear a wriststrap whenever I feel it necessary.

If I don't find anything like that I'll just ensure it for a year.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] charlatan01:
Until you've used the strap with the Sony phones, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it. It sounds silly, but it really can make a difference in handling the device. I use cases too, but I will be sad if it doesn't have the strap / loop.

[General Questions and Answers] Renth:
Hi everybody,

not sure whether I can post this within the clone phone threads since I do not know the processor nor the manufacturer.

Phone is a pseudo iPhone which runs some kind of Android which is disguised as iOS (really bad quality).

Unfortunately this Android is really instable and phone does not work reliably.

Now I am trying to find out whether there might be another Android version which I could flash instead. Already identified Needrom as possible source but need the real device manufacturer and processor before.

Any idea how I could proceed here? Just still trying to avoid to connect to PlayStore on this phone since the Chinese ones are known for their spyware.

Recoveryis accessible.

From backside: A1660FCCID;BCG-E3085AIC59C-E3085A

From About: Modell: MNRJ2CH/A

Which other information do I need to provide/identify the phone and how do I get it?

Any help highly appreciated.

Bye
[General Questions and Answers] Renth:
First things I identified are that it seems to be a Lenovo using MT65xx - at least this was shown during driver installation when phone was connected to Win PC.

After connecting to Win10 Laptop YunOS ACB Interface has been installed. MTKTools tells about the already known fake and says its an MT6582.

So how can I provide a suitable stock ROM onto it?

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] barrendesert:
Hey everyone,

I've recently switched my mobile phone to the Honor 6X. I've been running into numerous issues when it comes to notifications, specifically notifications going through to my Pebble. Notifications work fine on my Pebble when I use any of my other phones, but with the Honor 6X, none of them show up on my watch. Has anyone ran into a similar issue? Does anyone know how I can possibly resolve this? I've heard that the Honor 6X has some aggressive battery saving features, so I'm assuming this is what's preventing them from showing up on my watch. I'm not sure what to do. I have EMUI 5.0.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] lordmorphous:
I ran into this problem with Android Wear. I went into the Android Wear app notification settings via Settings>Apps>Android Wear>Notifications and enabled "When Locked." This solved it for me, maybe you could do the same with the Pebble app.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] barrendesert:
Thank you! I've done that previously with the Pebble app but it never worked for me. I downloaded Android Wear and enabled "When Locked" on the app settings (just to see if it would somehow make notifications work on my Pebble), and I also gave Android Wear Notification Access, and now the notifications seem to be working on my Pebble... You've just reminded me that when I first got the Pebble, it said that notifications work better with Android Wear installed, I think.

Anyway, thanks again for the help, it seems to have helped resolve my issue! :good: :D

Dear Android developer,

We invite you to participate in a research study being conducted at Saarland University in Germany. We found your email address as a professional developer on Google Play.

We have developed FixDroid, an Android Studio plugin to help you learn about different aspects of software security. We're excited to be able to share this with you!

FixDroid helps you to learn more about secure coding. As you write code it finds insecure practices and warns you about them. In some cases it will offer you more secure alternatives as a QuickFix.

FixDroid is, and will remain, free to use and we're delighted if you can use it. In return we'll collect anonymous information about your use of it - but never any of your code or anything to identify you or the code. Please visit https://userstudies.cs.uni-saarland.de/fixdroid/installFixDroid.html to get access to the plugin.

While you try it out, if you've time, please could you possibly participate in a brief scientific study to help us improve FixDroid for you and other users?

Visit https://userstudies.cs.uni-saarland.de/fixdroid/70333f6d4789/468180b5cdf9 for more information or simply reply to this email. We'll be glad to answer any questions. If you don't want to receive emails from us, please visit https://userstudies.cs.uni-saarland.de/fixdroidstudy-bl/new/70333f6d4789/468180b5cdf9 and we will never contact you again.

Our research relies on the generous help of interested developers, so thank you for your help and feedback!

Hi there,

Just a small question: When I install a custom ROM, does it keep my data on the internal storage? I'm asking because of the encryption and I thought it could happen, that the new/custom ROM is not able to decrypt this part of the data.

Thanks
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I haven't done enough flashing on my Pixel to say with certainty one way or another, but I believe it does keep the internal storage data between ROM flashes just fine. However, I don't fool with anything but PureNexus as far as custom ROMs, so it might depend on what ROM you're coming from and going to. I never flash anything major without backing up internal storage, anyway, and that's what I would suggest. After all, for every rule there's always an exception and it's better not to regret. Good luck!
