[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Thermalwolf:
Couldn't believe it myself but after factory resetting and doing some digging around its come to my attention that my ATT variant S7 seems to have been totally hijacked, as deep as the bootloader itself. I have quite a few recovery logs that display all my system apps being patched at root level. There's a bunch of suspicious background services and after checking with a interface app there seems to be a couple rmnet network connections running in the background pointing to multiple unknown IP assesses. To further support my find out entire network at my office has been completely overrun with an undetectable malware, more so just a complete redirection of our DNS with multiple computers including mine specifically tied into a virtual backdoor tunnel. My PC hasn't been detected by our remote anti virus agent since September along with many policies setup to stealth the negotiating hosts and clients. Anyways for my phone specifically has anyone ever been hit like this? I'm gonna go to ATT later today and have them replace my device with a new one and keep it off network. Here's my phones status and baseband info.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Thermalwolf:
Trying to get a copy of the recovery logs for someone to verify. I went to att and they said there's nothing they can do to check it on there end... guys I'm not joking around here and if everything appears fine can someone tell me or is the s7 a dead stick now and nobody cares?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] r3w1NNNd:
Nothing's wrong with the phone. All of those connections are normal.

Rest assured, your life is not that important that hackers would personally invade your phone, out of all the things.

That being said, here's why your phone is normal:

- latest security patch available for your service provider ? CHECK.

- stock firmware ? CHECK

- Official device status ? CHECK.

- sit0 network ? PERFECTLY FINE. sit = Simple Internet Transition. AKA 6to4. That's a tunneling protocol for using IPv6 over an existing IPv4 connection. The S7 is capable of using both protocols. In fact, you have both types of connections enabled in your settings.

- rmnet_data ? PERFECTLY FINE. rmnet interfaces are usually associated with cellular connections and usb tethering. In all of your SS, mobile data and some sort of tethering app were enabled.

Case closed, drops the mic.

You're not wrong. I bet you've been hacked and that's just like I've been hacked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] creep138:
Guys, everybody's hacked. The gov'ment wants to watch all of us like a soap opera. Carriers can't watch you if you don't have bloat running lineage, and it's a bit harder for the gov'ment to watch without stock firmware.

Don't forget the tin foil hats, and wrap the phones while at it
[LG G Watch] damefrikis:
I just want to know if there's a way to make the watch count steps without installing fit app on the phone to avoid any battery drain, just count steps

Is there any way to do so? Using nexus 6p on android 7.1.2 stock and last watch firmware, bot official.

Thanks a lot

It is any way to bost the headset volume?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Themes, Apps, and Mods] jedld:
There are a bunch of values you can tweak under /system/etc/tiny_hw.xml. I don't know if these work and I haven't tried this personally myself, if it does help do post feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Themes, Apps, and Mods] fuadhdmini:
Hi, just curious how do you know its that xml (tiny_hw.xml)?

I understand that different device different xml. My point is its not a standard xml for all android device.

Fyi i havent tried but would like to increase the volume of speaker.

Update. I edited the value of HPL volume and HPR volume from 8 to 10 and SPKL volume and SPKR volume from 10 to 15.

Much louder now, more clarity i can say than the default one.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Themes, Apps, and Mods] fuadhdmini:
Heres the screenshot
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Themes, Apps, and Mods] jedld:
yes, this is not standard xml, this only applies for spreadtrum based devices which the T280 and T285 is based on.

Thanks for trying it out. I will also try those values out myself and set it as the default for my future builds if it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] photolarry:
I've posted this is dev threads but they claim it belongs here. So my question is:

I know that SM-G955U is locked and bootloader prevents Odin from flashing anything. I'm told there was eventually workaround for S7 but it was unstable and not to do it. So I'm asking if this engineering kennel will be built and if it's worth risk of using it by flashing with modified Odin. I've read how many brick their phone in the process. So I'm looking for experience from others. I don't plan on doing anything for a while. There isn't any tool now anyhow.

Because that section is for software releases, not questions. Also this stuff can't be predicted, because it happened on a previous generation doesn't mean it will happen again. If you read proper threads people already got their hands on eng boot but it does not contain what is necessary for root.

Wrong place to ask (should ask it in s6 section), but have you tried to flash a stock factory image (sammobile) with Odin?

First copy al your data you wanna save to your pc (photos, music etc)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thetallcanadian:
^What this guy said. Just flash the stock firmware through ODIN.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolpar:
Thak you for ur reply. I never try to flash any device before, thats why little bit of confusion. Over the youtube i get information about "Samsung Smart Switch" that it work all it self. Automatically download the required firmware and install by it self. Will it work for my S6's condition ?? And as i said the IMEI number has been changed so i m afraid of this if there any problm for this during installation with Smart Switch ?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRealJelly:
Recently I rooted my device and flashed RR rom because my phone was too laggy but now everything is working fine except the battery backup is too bad. I'm only getting 3-3.5 hrs of On screen time and my 2 friends have the same phone and they get around 6-8 hrs of OST with 4g data enabled. So I've decided to take it to the service center to replace the battery. So my question is that if i flash my phone and relock the bootloader and take it to the service center then will they find out that bootloader was unlocked? And if so then is there any possible way to get my warranty back?

P.S- Please if you can post the link of the stock rom for this device(XT1643) i really appreciate that and please post the right stock rom link because i already flashed the device with the wrong stock rom(saw on a website) but got a replacement from amazon

I want to edit my quick launch xml to point to different apps but the xml file is read only. I was able to copy it over to my pc and edit it, but I cannot copy it back. It says I do not have permission to replace the existing file or delete it. Any help?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] johanromijn:
You need another file explorer then the default one.

Resco Explorer or Total Commander for example.

With that you can overwrite it.

Where is this quicklaunch xml file located?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Vukile:
Its in the \Windows folder. Ive also posted a similar thread to this. I posted the xml's as well:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Marcdu81:
You can edit xml files with notebook or word,but before click right on xml file then property and uncheck "read only".After you could edit and save your settings.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] htcoveblue:
I have no problem copying the xmls and editing them on my computer. I just can't copy them back. I tried putting them on my Storage Card and then using Resco Explorer to copy them to my Windows folder. It doesn't give me any error, but it doesn't actually replace the file either. I tried deleting the file first in Resco Explorer but it says the file is in Rom and cannot be deleted. Is there another way I haven't tried?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Marcdu81:
Don't forget to uncheck the plugin before copying files in windows folder.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] htcoveblue:
Uncheck what plugin? The Read-Only property? I uncheck it, but when I hit properties, it's checked again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Marcdu81:
the quick launcher must be unchecked in today/items before copying xml files in windows folder
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ra303:
On my vista machine I had to untick the 'Hidden' tick for me to copy the file back to my tytn as I was getting the same error.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlewis3348:
On Wednesday, I enrolled my Nexus 5X in the Android O Beta program. Upon doing so and installing the update, I lost all data connectivity. The device said it had both a strong WiFi connection as well as strong cell signal, but I could not access the internet. After posting about the issue in on Google+, my only option was to flash Android N to the device. Therefore, I unlocked the bootloader, and attempted to flash the factory image provided by Google to the device. However, in the process of doing so, I get an error saying

error: update package missing system.img

After doing some looking around, I discovered that sometimes it's necessary to manually flash some or all of the files by executing one of the following commands:

fastboot flash system system.img

or

fastboot -S 512M flash system system.img

However, both of these commands return the following

error: cannot load 'system.img'

At this point, I'm completely out of ideas for how to fix this, and when I try to boot the phone, it just hangs at the white Google logo. My concern is that I've somehow bricked my phone. Is it necessary to turn off encryption to flash an update? I did not think of doing this before I started. I've never unlocked the bootloader, flashed an update, or rooted a device before, so all of this is quite new to me (as you may have guessed), so any suggestions anyone might have would be quite welcome.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
So I was quick to jump on the Android beta O as I was on the N rollout. I should have known there would be issues from when I was on the N beta but nevertheless I couldnt resist.

So far my issues are few but frustrating.

1. Anytime I get a call when the phone is locked it does not wake up the phone. I have to unlock the phone and click answer. Even after doing that theres still a notification that theres a call that I can either decline or answer even after Im already talking to the person. On the same issue, the proximity sensor doesnt work in the fact that when Im on the call the screen is still active and my cheek activates apps and whatnot. When on the call I cannot get to the actual phone app in order to change to speakerphone.

2. This might be silly but when using snapchat there is a significant lag and black screens between clicking on a story and it actually starting. Also in same app, when I try to take a horizontal photo it gets hung up and I have to close the app and take the photo vertically.

3. I dont know if its because Im using a launcher, but I dont get any notification dots on any of my apps. Maybe I have to be using pixel launcher in order for this to activate. Also, maybe I have to disable number notifications in the launcher for the O notifications to take over.

Those are the most noticeable so far but I figured Id get a thread going.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] fade2green514:
I just got a zagg glass screen protector put on at Verizon today. I like it. It's got adhesive only around the edges so I think it leaves a bit of air under the glass? But I haven't had any touch issues. It works really well.

I had a Spigen neoflex one before that cost about 4 bucks per protector on Amazon ( orange peel wet app) and they were only ok for that type of screen protector.

One thing to note is, I'm not sure if the Verizon rep that put it on the phone for me cleaned the screen well enough because there seems to be a small grease bubble right on the keyboard. It doesn't bother me much because it didn't affect anything yet, but might get in the way while watching videos.

Oh this thing was 37.50 after my discount. But if it breaks zagg replaces it for as long as I own this phone. So that's good.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] mastaofdacat:
I got mine today also. My nerves kicked in as I purchased it because what I read about curve screen tempered glass protectors. I like it so far and no case problems. Feels alittle loose or sense of some gap from glass to phone but you get used to it. So far nice!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] fade2green514:
It collects dust around the edges and it definitely has one piece of dust under it which I'm hesitant to use the adhesive dust stickers to remove because it's curve glass

But, nothing that isn't normal for pretty much all screen protectors. Worth the protection, and warranty
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Sir_Eagle:
I purchased this also a week ago when I got my 8+. I was worried about it after all the ones I tried on my S7 that failed. However this one is nice, been on a week with no issues of lifting off. Works well with the Tech 21 case I got also.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Any updates on this screen protector?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] hackdrag0n:
Bottom corner started lifting after a day. Now I have a bunch of dust and some hair trapped under there. Glue is too weak. Don't waste your money.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] fade2green514:
Yea the glue is kind of weak and it's prone to dust buildup....

However because of this I found it's easily removable by sliding your fingernail under one long end and then just lift it. I kept the easy applicator and so I can (carefully) clean it under soapy water and dry it.

Don't bother to dry with any type of paper towel though as the lint will stick to the adhesive.

Probably going to reach out to zagg about a warranty or some kind of solution so I don't have to keep removing and cleaning it. But overall better than other screen protectors so far

Also another detail, this protector has no problem with the spigen neo hybrid
