[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sdepace:
Shortly after buying my new Samsung S8+ I was getting a DQA crashing error message. I searched for a fix and unfortunately found an APK download with a fix. After downloading it, I decided not to install it as I didn't trust it. My problem now is that even though I've deleted it, everyday it re-downloads and I cant get it to stop doing so. Is there any way to get it to stop downloading or is my phone number on a list and I will keep getting the file?

thanks

Hi,

I was just wondering... do I really have to have antivirus on my android devices? So far all I've got from running avira is advertizing for their other products, and (mis)labelling the atomic IRC client as malware for connecting to port 6667.

Thoughts?

Cheers

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thunderoar:
Antivirus on android does not do much in securing or protecting your device instead it makes your device more slower because it's constantly running in the background doing some useless scanning unless the antivirus were preinstalled in your device and other than that I don't find its really helpful at all, and they sometimes do mistake in detecting virus,so that is normal.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
no
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Critical Detox:
Nope, the only thing it's sort of useful for is for finding malware in the play store, but even then, apps you know are safe could be deemed malware. It's your call really but the simple answer is no you don't.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] albertoduqe:
Hello everyone.

Just got my new Redmi Note 4. I see its ROM version says "MIUI Global 8.1 | Stable, 8.1.15.0 (MCFMIDI)" and, from what I have read, it should be the global official ROM.

Problem is, I go to the updater and it says there are no updates. But I read here around that global stable v8.2.5.0.MCFMIDL has been released. Why am I not getting it? Can be that I have vendor rom? If not, can it be official global but not support OTA? How can I find out?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] albertoduqe:
Sorry. I left out the device is the 3gb RAM/32gb ROM, SD version...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] radier:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] hamzaalijoiyah:
Are you checking for OTA using WiFi? Sometimes OTA is not found using Mobile data!!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] albertoduqe:
Yes I am!

Maybe it's just a matter of time... I read elsewhere that 8.2.5 has been very recently released, so maybe I just need to wait.

On the other hand, two related questions:

1. Does carrier or region have anything to do with it? With getting OTA updates I mean... Maybe orange in Spain is too far away from China or something... :P

2. Now that I have installed one update manually.... I should still be getting OTA updates (if everything's alright)?

Thanks a lot!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] hamzaalijoiyah:
1- Yeah update are region dependent, but its been quite a while since miui v8.2.4.0 is out, so you should be getting notification for that. If not you can flash latest miui stable (v8.2.4.0) via fastboot method.

2-Yeah as long as you're on official MIUI you'll get future OTA updates.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] cy_coe:
Latest global stable is 8.1.15.0

The others (8.2.2.0/8.2.4.0) have been withdrawn.

The 8.2.5.0 is nightly and only some users will get this update OTA. Wait till it gets stable. Expect a week or so...

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] albertoduqe:
I've just tried to install latest developer version system mode, as it is explained in en.miui.com (zip file, through the updater app, etc), and it says that I can upgrade to that dev version online from stable official stable ROM.... So despite version code being right it seems I do not have an official ROM :(

Well, might be time to root then I guess...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] ulsa:
Any idea why 8.2.4.0 was withdrawn? I am on that now. Updated OTA.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] cy_coe:
I found no info about that. I guess too many users complained about bugs... Xiaomi is not really transparent when they withdraw ROMs...

My Redmi Note 4 and my Redmi 4A both came with a ROM that has been withdrawn a while after OTA relesse. ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] albertoduqe:
It looks like some stable global roms are not very stable after all... A little bit unreliable :)

Anyway I am kind of finding out that the message I get when trying to flash dev rom through system/recovery (can't verify update...) might not necessarily be due to having vendor rom. Still investigating...

Thanks for the answers and feedback.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] bad_request:
You cannot flash latest dev rom using updater app.

If you want to move from stable to beta/dev rom on RN4 with locked bootloader you have to first download miui_HMNote4XGlobal_7.2.16_e6eed016d8_6.0.zip which can be flashed using updater app then you can update your device to latest dev/beta rom...

And if you update your device to dev rom you cannot go back to stable without unlocking bootloader.....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] albertoduqe:
Ok!

I was getting to that kind of realization, although I lack tchnical knowledge.

It's all good then. I'll wait for next OTA to arrive.

HI I've found tutorials on many websites (for example here : https://xdaforums.com/honor-7/general/guide-beginners-how-to-root-update-fix-t3255452) to root the honor 7 but these tutorials are pretty old and I would like to know how to do it with the last version of android/emui (b370) because I've already bricked (and unbricked) my phone by following a 2016 tutorial wich is now outdated.

So right now I have TWRP installed and that would be nice if you could tell me what version of supersu I need to install.

PS : https://xdaforums.com/honor-7/development/rom-6-0-x-yodarom-v1-0-mm-rooted-ads-t3338179

(sorry for my poor english, I'm french)

Thanks in advance :)
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0v3r cl0ck3d:
I'd recommend flashing Yoda ROM but keeping everything stock except from root (when you flash it in twrp it gives you an options menu). I wouldn't recommend using the latest version of emui becuase it has worse battery life and the phone gets hotter than b370 the only advantage b380 have over b370 is the security patch.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blendman974:
Actually for now I don't see the b380 on the update app.

Yoda ROM is a pretty big file and I don't have a really good conexion

Do I need a custom boot/fixed boot (like in yoda rom) to be able to install Supersu ? or is there a flashable version of supersu that I can flash without fixed/custom boot ?

EDIT : are you sure that you can install only root and not everything with yoda rom? and is it erasing everything or not ?

Cordially,
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gopinaidu77:
Latest version of supersu is systemless and also disables or bypasses dm-verity check . So it should work fine.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcjordan92:
Hi everyone,

I'm looking for an app that tracks the data usage and only warn me if I go too fast respectively to the day of the month.

For simplicity lets say for example that my plan has 9GB each month and the bill cycle is on the 1st of each month (reset).

Assuming that there is 30 days each month, it means that I have 300MB to spend each day.

So, if its the 15th to the month I want to be warned only if I pass the 4.5GB (half month = half plan)

If its the 29th, I want to be warned only if I pass the 9.7GB..

If its the 1st, I want to be warned only if I pass the 300MB..

And so on..

So the warning trigger changes automatically respectively to the day of the month (according to the cycle day).

I'm a developer so I'm considering building such app by my own but before that I wanna hear some people about it.

1. Does anyone know some app that do something similar to this?

2. Is this sounds like something you think you might like? Or even want?

Thanks ahead,

Yesterday, I flashed Tzul's S000031 ROM for the Lenovo Tab3 7 Essential (TB3-710I). It was a successful root, until after I started the tablet again, it only let out a long vibrate, with short vibrate intervals after about 5 seconds.

I first flashed TWRP on the tablet yet I think it did not load, as I started into recovery yet saw the Android Stock Recovery running.

I've been looking at guides, flashing other versions to no avail. SP Flash Tool always shows that it cannot load DRAM (4032 error or 0xFC0 error).

This happened for the first time that I've been flashing and rooting phones. I hope you help me out here.

Which custom rom has the best battery backup or what should i do to save my battery???
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Questions & Answers] Royal_1301:
I just want to say that every custom rom is best at their own but if someone ask me which custom rom is prefer then it is Resurrection Remix :good:

Important points to save battery:- :fingers-crossed:

1) Don't use Google Assistant as it consumes too much battery.

2) Brightness should be low (more brightness consumes more battery).

3) Use greenify app it stops background running apps (runs in Rooted and Non-rooted both modes).

4) Install less apps.

5) When data connection is not in use turn it off. Same for hotspot.

6) If you using your android long time for internet then prefer wifi over data connection as i consumes more power.

Best custom rom is LOS 13.0 BY zormax,

I have a 7+hrs sot... With ZA Kernel..

If you want to see my sot, go to za kernel thread...

You need

* ZA Kernel (by mohancm)

* Greenify

* Amplify (for best standby)

* PowerNap (for standby)

Max 7-8hrs standby drain a 3-4%of your battery..

10%-12% with 1hr SOT (depent on usage)

So in my everyday usage in my device running on LOS13.0 i have a 6-7+hrs... Usually i charged my phone to 85 and 91% and i got a 6hrs SOT

3 - Open a registry editor and go to HKLM/Software/Vijay555/VJTodayToggle/

4 - Execute vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe from your phone a second time, now the top bar reappears, and in TODAY, you will not have the soft-launch buttons (first time was only to make the software add the registry information).

5 - Copy vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe in \windows\startup so that every time you reboot the phone, it will remove the soft launch buttons in the bottom of the screen
