okay...very stupid question i guess where the hell is the slot for the microsd? is there a slot? really confuzed haha
[HTC Excalibur] jxs714:
lolz

Its ok dude, turn the phone over where your facing the battery, on the right side there is a very small slot where the mini sd goes, its very small so you need to pay attention well. Its before the metal that is cased on the phone. There is even an icon that shows the sd card and points the arrow from right to left. Make sure when you put the mini sd in your putting it with the label facing you.

Important addition: before following jxs714's directions, take off the battery cover (not the battery, just the cover). :D

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melp57:
Next time I go to flash a new custom rom I'm thinking of wiping internal storage just to really clean things out. Since I use my external SD card for TWRP to store backups etc... There's still the required TWRP directory on the internal storage which remains empty. If I wipe internal storage how will that effect that directory?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adityak1303:
I don't know how that will affect the directory but I can tell you for sure it won't affect ROM installation. Every time I flash a new ROM, I always wipe internal storage and I haven't faced any problems​.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
It won't really effect it, unless you use themes or changed the stock configuration... those are the only things stored in the twrp directory of internal storage. You will notice the next time you start TWRP it will likely give you the warning screen about an unmodified system partition and ask you to allow changes.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] ¿GotJazz?:
My work required that I encrypt my OP3T. I don't use my OP3T for work anymore.

I have read that it isn't possible to remove the encryption (If this isn't true, please let me know).

I would like to modify my existing encryption settings, so I had a few questions:

Can I change my current "strong" encryption password to a different password? It would be easier if my wife needs to get into it.

My OP3T is currently configured to require a password entry every time after rebooting. Can I turn this off?

I remember reading somewhere that I need to remove all fingerprint patterns before backing up the OP3T or I wouldn't be able to restore properly (which I always did before I encrypted my phone). Do I still need to do that before I backup my encrypted OP3T?

If I do a TWRP backup and then a wipe/restore (after entering the current password), can I remove the encryption, or will my phone still be encrypted?

Thanks,

¿GJ?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Puddi_Puddin:
It is possible to remove encryption but you will lose all data on the phone. You see OxygenOS has this very annoying force encryption. It basically means whenever you boot you phone and force encryption is on it will automatically encrypt. What I usually do is go to Fastboot then type "fastboot erase userdata" then I boot straight into TWRP and wipe every partition. After that I flash the rom and encryption should be gone (no more boot password).. If you have any more questions be sure to ask.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Simone98RC:
1) It depends by the pattern/password/PIN you're using.

Android encryption is based on internal keys, do not consider it like Dm-crypt or BitLocker, they are quite different.

2) I discourage it.

Without bootup authentication, recovery is fully accessible, anyone can access/transfer data or wipe device.

3) I've read nothing about that.

4) Encryption is upper to /data: the only way to remove it is doing fastboot format userdata via ADB.

To make decryption permanent, you've to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP recovery, then install (at the same time) OxygenOS and Magisk.

Magisk will prevent the force encryption.

After first boot, you can remove Magisk.

Wanted to know if there was anyway to improve the playback of wmv files.

Avi, flv files are fine when viewed with tcpmp81 rc1:

Raw frame buffer, larger buffer, larger preload and larger hard and soft drop tolerance.

Is there any way to improve on this newer .dll etc?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] taj786:
Guys need help....I recently bought a Samsung S8 (t-mobile version) without knowing much of its history thinking it had a deeply discharged battery, but after a good 10 hrs on the charger it still won't turn on, no LEDs, no vibration, nothing, a complete black screen so it will NOT boot into recovery or download mode. However, it does seem to take a charge as the back side does get a bit warm when charged. When plugged into the PC (Win 10) it does not get recognized under My PC but I hear the USB plug-in chime and under the Device Manager, I get "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008" on COM port 3. From what I've found online, seems like I will need the original S8's complete eMMC image and load it onto the sdcard and recover it that way, even if it's possible.

Can anyone help/guide me in the proper direction? Really hoping to recover this device. This might even help others who may have or will brick their S8's. Thanks a lot in advance :)

looking for the now hidden setting to disable "ok google" from "from the google app"

The original version of the google app from android 7.1.2 had a setting to disable "ok google" detection from "from the google app" (which includes the home screen if google is the launcher)

Newer versions removed the ui for it, but it's still present and the app still follows it, but when the app is reset, the setting gets enabled with no ui to disable it.

Presumably there's a way to toggle it with adb?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Krunk83:
I don't yet know if this has truly fixed the issue I've been having and I know a few others have but it's definitely improved things a lot! If you have had the issue where your notification shade lags and/or your app switcher lags please try this and report back.

Go to App Manager -> Overflow button (3 dots top right corner) -> Special Access -> Draw over other apps

Now UNCHECK everything here.

Reboot.

Any apps that require this permission will complain and you can enable it for just those apps. My phone had this enabled for basically every app in there which seemed odd. Since I did this my phone has been very smooth for over 24 hours and my battery life has been way better too.

Again no guarantees since the issue might still happen but this has helped me more than anything else I've tried.

Hi folks, This is the first time I need help from this excellent forum.

Something weird happened. I was updating apps from Google Play and when Titanium (Pro version), came up my phone crashed. I'm not a total noob, Unlock, Root all of my phones. No I never flashed other ROMs

I've tried everything to unbrick my phone (Nexus 4, 5.1.1., unlocked and rooted, factory ROM).

Now my PC doesn't recognize my phone, it's stuck on boot screen, can't boot into recovery, (error 10), no Fastboot, no download mode, I can't do anything. I've unbricked my phones many times before. Can't install MTP device driver including other drivers. This one has me stumped. Been at this for 4 days.

Can't sideload. Power and other buttons don't work to boot into Recovery, Fastboot etc,

Obviously, can't do a "battery pull" on Nexus 4. Tried the 15-second power button trick to simulate battery pull and other button tricks. Can someone help?

I've searched the web for days, tried all the tricks.

Can someone help?

Cheers!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nomad5000:
Thanx for replying Nitin

That's the thing. I've tried all the button combos. The problem is my PC doesn't fully recognize my phone so I can't access or push fastboot or ADB. It shows up in device manager but that's it, nothing else. The phone goes only as far as the boot animation and stays like that for days. I've soft bricked my other phones before but was able to repair them.

I get fastboot not found, ADB error 10. I've never seen anything like this. I also get an MTP driver error.

It got bricked by a Playstore app update then when Titanium backup pro came up, that's when it crashed???

I have a Nandroid backup on my pc but it's useless.

Thanx, I hope someone can figure this out. I'm running stock ROM, 5.1.1, unlocked and rooted.

I'm using Nexus Root Toolkit but can't push fastboot or ADB, because, like I said, it doesn't show in my computer???

As far as I have seen, Nexus 4 can not be bricked ;) You can even remove the bottom 2 screws to remove the battery, it is not so difficult (I can say that as I have replaced the battery, power button as well as back of the phone on multiple occasions)
