[Android Apps and Games] Mr. Mendelli:
Yea, I know. This is a newbie question. But I'm new to the forum scene and I'd like to know what the guidelines are for posting APKs for apps and games here on XDA. More specifically in my case, the unofficial android port of AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake). I tried doing this on Android Central, but that didn't pan out very well. I took the same approach that I'm doing here. I asked if I could, then about four months went by. No responses. So I said f**k it, I'll just post it. Not five minutes after posting I was repremanded and my post was taken down. Yea. Of course very shortly afterwords my original question was answerd in a rather back-handed way claiming I needed to either be an original developer or have permission from the developer. I also could only post links from the Play Store (or any other official market). Those rules are reasonable and fair, but it would have been nice to know beforehand, I wouldn't have posted it if I had known. XDA Developers seems to be much more lenient on the topic of android hacking and modding, and not so prudey. So, in conclusion, CAN I post my unofficial android port of AM2R here? Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr. Mendelli:
Bump.
[Android Apps and Games] petsnsac:
Please, Please, Please send me a copy or a link to the game! I have searched high and low, and I saw your post on the other site, and there are no working ports of this game! I know there MUST be many other people looking for the same thing, so thank you!

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kobo93:
I have a fire hd8 5th gen with 5.0.0 (was previously a demo unit) on it. Everything I see on the forums for installing custom roms is for >5.0.1 and on the HD7. If I'm interested in removing FireOS I would be better off with the HD7 then? I'm surprised to find there are such differences between two similarly identical models' (7" and 8") firmware.

Edit: Appears custom roms likely won't appear on the HD8. If 5.0.0 is of any use let me know.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isaacmw917:
A couple weeks ago, my Moto E 1st gen (old and cheap, I know) completely crashed, meaning shut down on its own without low battery or anything. When I tried to reboot, it kept getting stuck on the boot screen. On the 4th or 5th try it finally started, but many apps had reverted back a much older version or were completely uninstalled. Now I can't re-install the ones that were uninstalled. Were they really uninstalled or are they just not showing up in the app drawer or the applications list in settings? I tried downloading the apk of one of them, which was soundcloud and installing that to no avail.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hey. I'm a J7 Prime (G610f) user. I would like to know why does rooting and flashing custom roms require using sideload. Why can't we just do it the old way? Is this issue ever going to be solved or was buying this device a huge mistake?:confused:

Hi guys quick question I have a friend that visited me her to The Dominican Republic and decided to give me his Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. The phone is actually unlocked to any carrier but my main concern is if he goes back to the US and report the phone as lost with Tmobile, will the lock the phone again? Or just make it as bad esn that way it can no longer be activated in the US..

Pls answer me ASAP, my friend is leaving back to the states tomorrow and we just want to make sure prior to he giving me his phone...

Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] nimms:
Network stays unlocked if it was a permanent unlock via Tmobile. (Not a 1 month temporary unlock sometimes done by Tmo). Even if it gets locked, it can be unlocked on ebay for a fee.

ESN will be blacklisted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] _PaPaUpA_:
Thanks for you response but ebay isn't a option
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] DOMF:
If it's a friend of yours, why would he report it as lost if he's giving it to you? Doesn't sound like a friendly thing to do. Or are you trying to scam TMO somehow?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] _PaPaUpA_:
Thats was not what I said
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] jpcdeux:
This sounds shady. He's giving you his phone, then false reporting it stolen so that he can get a new one.

Either way, they won't relock it but the ESN will be bad. If it registers on a tmobile tower (even through a prepay service) it will kill the service because the phone's blacklisted through TMobile.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] firenemesis7:
This update has just became available today it is only 200mb so I would say it is mainly just android security updates. I have not installed it yet because I will have to factory reset first just wanted to let others know that might be stock and not rooted.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
I'm on 21a and downloading 21b now.

Was on 11d, but did the 10b Brightpoint KDZ last month that messed up the LTE. So had to root and reflash the 11c, to then update to 11d and then 21a.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
Got 21b installed. May 1 2017 Security update. Everything else says the same (baseband, kernel, and build).
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] firenemesis7:
Maybe they at least fixed the network switching so we will receive more of our calls. That is really the only bug i have noticed since upgrading to Nougat. I think you pointed that out as well.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
Yes, the past two weeks with 21a, the main issue has been that the RS988 is missing about half of the incoming class (will stay on LTE and not change to HSPA), or when placing a call about 25-30% of them will not go through on the first try (shows it change from LTE to HSPA and sit there for 30 seconds, and then go back to LTE without placing th call).

Unfortunately, 21b seems to have the same issue.

Over the weekend, I was debating on going with the HTC U11 or an S8/S8+ in the upcoming weeks, was going to wait for people on here to try out the U11 for a while. But the yesterday the Samsung Mobile EBay page had the S8+ listed for $699 and with 24mo payment with PqyPal Credit. So I figured fro $50 more than the U11, go with th S8+, not that I'm a fan of curved screens, but at least there is a 3.5mm headphone jack, has SamsungPay, and the screen is AMOLED (which is miss). But the draws of the U11 was the camera, non-curved screed (though LCD), and fingerprint scanner on the front. But the lack of headphone jack means it can't be charged while connected via AUX input to my cars audio, and I saw posts on here about HTC got rid of all their apps (gallery, mms, dialer, calendar) and opted for the Google ones that aren't as good. So at this point I sould have the S8+ later this week. If I like it, then I'll sell my G5 with all the accessories that came with it (Cam mod, 4 batteries, charging pack, VR headset).
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] spinoza_web:
Hi! If I have root and TWRP then how do I install the update?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
As far as I know, OTA updates will only install if you are 100%stock. So that means removing TWRP, unrooting, and relocking the bootloader.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] firenemesis7:
How I did it. I just factory reset and wiped everything in twrp then flashed the complete rs98821a zip that autoprime put together for us and then was able to install the OTA update. You will have to reinstall Twrp and root but you do not have to mess with the bootloader.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
I got in the S8+ yesterday. After using it for a day and setting it up, I'm not 100% sure that I'll keep it. The regular S8 was out of stock and I'm not a big fan of curved screens. But I figured I'd give it a try.

But regarding the calling issue with the G5 (21a/21b), the S8+ is much faster between changing modes between LTE Data and HSPA Calls. So that right there proves the issue isn't related to the GoPhone service, as I never had any issue on the G5 before the Nougat update.

Too bad I still can get the S8+ to work with the K-9 Mail LED Notifications. Must be an issue with that app and Android 7.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] justnewbee:
Looks like you got S8+, so, which version did you get? G955U or G955F? And how is Samsung pay? Does the Spay rewards and deals work?:confused:
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
The Samsung eBay page had the S8 G950U for $599 and the S8+ G955U for $699, along with a 24 month PayPal Credit financing. I has intended to go with the S8, but after I got home that night, only the S8+ was still available.

After using it for a few days now, it is really too tall for comfort, and a bit more heavy than I like (actually the weight of the phone is mostly at the top, so when used in landscape mode I can feel more of the weight on the left hand), keep in mind the Note 4 is about the same weight, but feels more comfortable to hold than the S8+.

From what I've read, the US Unlocked "U" models work with Samsung Pay and Rewards. I have it installed and all setup on the phone, but haven't tried it in a store yet. The "F" International models I read don't work with Samsung Pay in the US unless you do some flashing and tricking it out, but can still have issues. So I decided not to go with the F model, but would rather have the exynos processor than the 835.

Right now, Samsung.com has the S8 (and S8+) with a $200 trade in offer, so I'm going to go that route and get the S8 and sent in my old Note 2 (since they sell for less than $200 on eBay and Swappa) and hold on to my Note 3 and 4 for now. Also thinking about ordering the U11 from Amazon. Once I get those in, I can compare the U11, S8 and S8+ and decide which one to keep and return the others.

Normally I would do all this in a store, but Sprint don't have the U11 on display locally.

Once all that get done, then I'll see about selling my G5, do a factory reset on it (21b).
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] justnewbee:
Thanks a lot for your detailed info. I am going to buy US Unlocked "U" model, though I am interested in exynos processor.;)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
I ended up buying the S8 from the Samsung site ($624) then take off $200 for a trade-in (will send my old Verizon Note 2 since they only sell for about $100...though would like to keep it), and add tax and $0 for 2-day shipping, and was $450 total. Did the Samsung Credit (24 month).

Going to send the S8+ back (Samsung's eBay page) for $742 credit. So that's a savings of $300 ($100 less for the S8 ad $200 for the trade-in).

The S8+ isn't a bad phone, just a bit too tall and more heavy than I like, so I'm sure the S8 will fit better.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
Been using the S8 for a week now, sent the S8+ back.

No calling issues with either one (GoPhone) and I noticed they change much quicker between LTE for data and HSPA for calls than the G5 (21a/b).

Thanks

I read the post. Where did you buy the phone from?

Look at my post on this thread from Page 6 onward:

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/help/calling-rs988-users-nougat-t3608345/page6

I had to do the Bootload Unlock via the LG web site, to then allow rooting of the phone.

Then had to do all the flashing in steps. I wouldn't say it was difficult, but took quite some time to get it all done.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Skimpypimp:
Well I guess I'm screwed because even though I have the RS988, when I request the unlock boot loader code from LG it says I can't get it. I got my phone off eBay. Ugh.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
See if you can do eBay or PayPal buyer protection.

I'd file a claim on it with them if the seller refuses to offer a refund. I'd state that it is not compatible with your carrier (MetroPCS T-Mobile).
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Skimpypimp:
I would hate to go through all that.

Through your adventure did you get any stock firmware flashed without root and not the BRIGHTPOINT version of it?

I think it has something to do with BRIGHTPOINT firmware.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
The issue is that I didn't know the firmware I flashed on my rs988 was for Brightpoint. After I flashed it , I had 0 LTE on the phone.

So it was a few weeks later when I decided to go though the process. Did the the LG Bootloader unlock, and flashed one of the kdz files that was Android 6 that I had been using. Then worked the phones firmware update from there.

After it was all done, the RS988 with the 21b firmware has full LTE connectivity. The only issue is that if I place a call, and it changes over to HSPA, that it then can take a few minutes to return back to LTE.

I've now been using an S8 for two months, and it changes between LTE, HSPA, and back to LTE within a few seconds.

[Samsung Gear S3] coreydkoster:
Yes. No problem on my Nexus 6.
[Samsung Gear S3] Royal King:
Hey thanks for the reply.

I wanted to ask if both are simultaneously connected or no because I don't want my watch to get disconnected while I'm listening to music.
[Samsung Gear S3] coreydkoster:
Yes they will be connected simultaneously. You will even be able to control your music through the watch.

I'm planning on buying the gear S3.

My question is, if I set Google navigation on my phone will I get notifications for the trip on the gear S3?
[Samsung Gear S3] lordroderick:
Not that I know of. Currently Google Maps doesn't work on the S3. You can use Here Maps though, it provides turn by turn navigation on the watch, both for walking and driving.
[Samsung Gear S3] gremlin007:
Doubt it since it's the Google Maps app that does an overlay on your phone and not through notifications. I could be wrong though
[Samsung Gear S3] InfiniteDrag:
Google maps do not work with gear s3 as of yet. Here maps work, but I am not a big fan of it. I am really used to google maps and it was a major let down when I got my gear s3. Wish they would do something about it.
[Samsung Gear S3] terrencegf:
I have used Gear S2/S3 Navigation with Google for driving navigation. Works by vibrating the watch and showing the next driving direction on the watch.
[Samsung Gear S3] Tel864:
A little late, but Google Navigation is available for the S3 but it doesn't integrate with the phone. The same with Samsung's navigation on the S3, Here WeGo, it doesn't integrate with Samsung Navigation on the phone.
[Samsung Gear S3] mjnoles1:
Where is Google Navigation available for the S3? I do not see it in the App store.
[Samsung Gear S3] Tel864:
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I should have said Navigation sort of. I'm using Google Map, listed on the store as "Map - Google map api used". It got so so reviews but I've used it for navigation and it works fine for me. Some complained about it being in Chinese but it wasn't for me and I mentioned that in my review, which is probably the latest review.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] fennucci:
So I will begin by saying that I own a SM-j700p, a Samsung j7(j700p) threw the carrier Boost Mobile. I noticed that that some variants come in different sizes, different amount of ram or what not, does this change the model number? Also certain models come from different countries, does this change the model number, or are the wide varieties of model numbers because of different countries different hardware configurations, also coming out at different times. I noticed for instance that certain roms will come out for one model variant but it can also be used for other models aswell. Perhaps I just want to save myself some time and hopefully help others save a bit of time, how many different j7's are there, which ones work together, or shall I say contain the same processor which I'm thinking is the biggest deciding factor in whether or not they work together or not. Ids there a website that contains them all and specs and what not. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Fukgoo:
Exactly the question which needed to be asked..

Sorry i cant answer it... except i can say us boost users are few with little in the options area...
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] RS.85243:
I believe by the Boost website you have the J7 Perx (2017) model...that one is the only listed. I believe the model number is J727. I own the Sprint variant (J727P)http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=5370
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] fennucci:
Correct, but that must be the current listing. The phone I have I bought at the end of '16 and is the sm-700p variet. This is why it gets so confusing. Perhaps someone or maybe I can if I get a few minutes to make a complete listing of all the j7.

**Edit; From my understanding it is primarily the chipset that makes the difference in whether or not certain roms will work across different variants. Is that true?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] RS.85243:
yes, the soc is the main difference http://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?sFreeText=J7&sMakers=9 these are the various J7 models excluding the Perx or 2017, which the specs listed are wrong (it has a Snapdragon 625 soc, not the exynos)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus5phone:
My Nexus 5 got squished such that the screen was badly cracked and the digitizer stopped working. I still like this phone, so I ordered a replacement screen+digitizer (and battery too) and tools to replace them.

Everything seemed to go fine at first. After getting the old screen out I attached the new one and I wanted to test it before putting everything back together so I set the motherboard and charger board in place and connected all the cables without screwing everything down. I turned the phone on and it worked. The screen+digitizer worked and it looked like my phone would live.

Then I screwed everything back together and it wouldn't turn on. I mean I would push the power button and nothing at all would happen. So I took the back cover off and unscrewed everything and tried again and it powered on again. So I started putting it back together one piece at a time and what I think I've narrowed it down to is that when I put on the small cover over the motherboard (iFixit calls it the midframe but I'm not sure that's right -- sorry can't post link) and screw in the top-right screw (as viewed from the back -- it's the one above the volume control) then it won't power on. I assume something is shorting out. I don't even actually have to screw in that screw. If I squeeze that corner a bit, it won't power on.

Any advice? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus5phone:
I think I got it. Since the front camera was near that screw I tried taking it out, then putting everything else back together and the phone worked! The front camera had fallen out during disassembly. So I watched a video on how to replace it and found out you have to stick the tab coming off the camera underneath the rubber tab attached to the frame. I did, put everything back together and it works. :)

Thanks for reading.
