Inspired by Jerryrigeverything, I decided to modify my S8+. I didn't remove anything. I did swap out the fingerprint sensor and the camera housing for silver. I also used the OEM seals instead of the two-sided tape he used in his video.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] mickrick:
I connected my H870DS to my pc earlier and LG Bridge said there was a software update available for it. I did an OTA check and it said the software is up to date (android 7.0, security patch 1st April 17, v10c). I made a backup of all my info and started the software update. Bridge reported it as 2.87GB. The update went through all the normal procedures and at the end, Bridge said everything is up to date. I checked the software details on the phone and all software versions etc appeared to be the same as before the update.

So I left my phone connected to chrge it, and a few minutes later Bridge said there is another software update available. So I went through it again, 2.87GB same as before. This time when the update finished, I got the same update available message. Still 2.87GB. So I didn't bother updating this time.

I've read that there is a May security update out for the H870DS and I'm just wondering if it is that which Bridge is trying to install?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gprimr1:
I was doing some research on rooting this phone. I never had a need for root before, but after 7.0, my FoxFi wifi no longer works, and I dislike dealing with the Bluetooth or USB options.

Doing some research, I'm getting the feeling that no root exists for this version of the phone's OS, and no root may be possible.

Am I on the mark?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] EvilRubberDuck:
You are correct. You can always downgrade your firmware to the firmware that FoxFi works on. You will of course want to backup everything and make sure reactivation lock is off if you did decide to downgrade.

STUCK ON BOOT ANIMATION

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Kenzo). When installing latest version of Resurrection Remix of this device(July 9, weekly) , it gets gets stuck on " Get Resurrected" logo (more than 15 mins). I saw a video on YouTube, flashing ROM, dated 25th April(nightly). I did the same and woah, it worked. Why is this happening?

Here's what I did (from starting)--

1. Was on MIUI version 8.5. Downgraded to 7.18, unlocked bootloader (unofficially).

2. Installed twrp 3.0.2 recovery. Wiped everything (except microSD).

3. Flashed cm14.1 firmware ( read on xda or something that flash this before flashing any nougat ROM).

4. Flashed latest build, with gapps, and mi boot logo.

5. Stuck on "get Resurrected".

6. As I was stuck, I wiped everything (except microSD). Now flashed 25th April ROM, with gapps and Mi boot logo.

And everything works fine in this. Although LED continuously flashes red while charging, but it isn't much of a problem.

Anyone else encountered this problem? ﻿

All the tutorials are from 2014 so i dont think they will work, is there any way to remove this text ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You need s-off (no exceptions to this) and flash a modified hboot. As long as it's the modified hboot with right hboot number, it should be okay, I think. But I don't think we should dive deeper into this, unless we know you have s-off (otherwise it's time wasted).

I should rephrase, there is one exception, in that (I believe) you can return to stock recovery to get rid of the red text. But if your desire is to run rooted, custom ROM, or other mods; then it's not advised to do this.

For most folks, the red text is not significant. You only see it when booting. I have had s-off from basically the start (phone's release), and never even bothered to get rid of the red text.

[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
This might sound like a stupid question, but this could be used with a Verizon post-paid SIM, correct? My son has the HTC 10 and it got dropped in water but he is away at school. He should be able to just run to Target, grab one for $40, and take that nano SIM out of his bad HTC 10 and pop it in the Verizon Pre-paid Moto E4 and that's it, correct? No need to call Verizon or anything?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] mn1968:
I believe that is correct from what I've read here.

Supposedly, already activated Verizon post-paid sims are good to go. It's when you try to activate the Verizon prepaid phone that you run into problems because the prepaid IMEI is NOT whitelisted. Of course, 'm only repeating what I've read. I don't use Verizon, so YMMV.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
Also not a Verizon user here, but as I understand it, putting postpaid VZW sim in a prepaid device that hasn't been active on a prepaid account will result in a lock being put on your postpaid account. This will necessitate a call to VZW customer service to 'reactivate' the account - no calls messages or data until you make that call (from another line)

This is what I recall from discussion around similar use case in the Moto e 2015 forums. Ymmv.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
Hmm... That could be a problem, at least in the short term, but he was able to come up with a Verizon LG G2 and popped his SIM in and it worked. A couple days in rice may help, but I have my doubts.

In the mean time, since Target had these on sale for $39.99, I picked one up (my local store had about a dozen in stock) in case the phone is dead and he decides not to get it repaired under the service agreement by paying the deductible (which is $150 I think). Not going to open it for the time being, but will see what happens as time goes on.

I am a little concerned when you say "will result in a lock being put on your postpaid account", since this account has 3 lines in it and neither of us is the account holder. :/ To you have a link back to that information?

Currently is running pure nexus, I need some recommendation on a lightweight rom or performance one. The device will be use only for games, old console emulation, psp etc.. No wifi or cell covarage needed. Got any suggestions. Im going to be using a Bluetooth controller.

A prerooted lite stock ROM.

When you have TWRP installed you may want to unencrypt the data partition.

This will speed up the N6 more than a lite ROM.

Suggestion for debloating a stock ROM.

Hi,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, which had multiple google accounts added to it. Idiot that I might be, I reset the device, and now I cannot remember some of those email addresses. I know their passwords, they even have my email as recovery email, I just don't know what they were.

The device has been backed up to cloud.

Is there any possible way to recover just the emails of the accounts which were there?

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Critical Detox:
As far a I'm aware, No. Unless you had a TWRP backup done recently or at some point with those email addresses logged in, There's no way. Your best shot is to either remember them or ask a friend if they know them or search your "sent" history if you ever sent yourself emails from another. Sorry.

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] ZePuff:
Here's the story:

After I've broken my screen and voided my warranty. I've decided to root my phone. Some time after, I got a notification that a new system upgrade was released, which was supposed to update my phone to Nougat and EMUI 5.0. After I installed the update I've noticed that my root was gone. Eventually I've decided to root my phone back, but something went wrong.

Now I can't access developer settings, every time I click on it Settings crashes. And every time I go and try to uninstall an application the phone soft reboots.

I've tried to clear dalvik cache trough TWRP, didn't work.

I've done a factory data reset didn't fix anything.

I can't uninstall apps trough ADB since I need to enable USB debugging and I can't get to dev options.

I can't authorize the PC either because the authorization popup doesn't appear and I think it's because the dev options don't work. As such I can't use the toolkit to do anything.

I tried to follow the steps from the Unbricking tab from the toolkit: I flashed the boot, system, recovery, cust images and stopped at the point in the instructions where I had to use TWRP. I stopped because I can't flash TWRP anymore. I flashed it at least 10 times but it didn't work, every time I boot into recovery I get the stock huawei recovery.

Is there any way I can fix this, or is my phone "half bricked" for good?

Thanks for that. I am considering both the S3 and 10.5. I am a Note 10.1 user so would prefer to migrate to the S3 but the IPad just seems a better engineered device.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tinderbox (UK):
The problem with oled display`s is that the brighter the object on the screen the more power the display uses, for white screen like while browsing or writing documents or drawing pictures on a white background they eat the battery life, now if you had white text on a black background your battery would last ages.

Now lcd displays use the same amount of power whatever the screen colour is or what colour the object is.

So it you are going to do a lot of web browsing or writing text or drawing pictures anything with a white or bright background get an lcd display not an oled one.

Here is a professional and balanced comparison of the S3 and the Ipad pro. In a nutshell, the ipad has only a slightly better processor and battery life but the S3 has a much better display and is a better overall value:

http://time.com/4708671/samsung-galaxy-tab-s3-release-review-ipad/

The S3 is my first tablet but I have owned each Samsung Galaxy phone since the S2 and like the Android OS. But I seriously considered buying the ipad pro because it will likely continue receiving updates long after the S3. I eventually decided to go with the S3 primarily for the HDR display but I almost switched to ios for the above reason.

Looks like the S3 is quite a bit heavier than the S2 though i would not swap either for my S1 as i use video more than anything and the S1 has an 16:10 screen while the S2 and S3 have a 4:3 display more suited to text, and internet browsing.

This is nothing new really.....it's just the way it is and has been forever. iPad's cost considerably more, yes. But they are also considerably better. I personally prefer Android over iOS without question but Android tablets just do not measure up to iOS tablets. Even with Android tablets being hundreds of dollars cheaper, I ALWAYS end up disappointed in them and doing exactly what the OP did, returning them to get an iPad.

Android tablets are "good enough," yes. But once you've used an iPad it is really, really clear to see the flaws in Android tablets. As has been mentioned, things like battery life, lag, and this isn't even getting into how many more apps are made specifically for iPad vs phone apps being shoehorned into a bigger screen on Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] episode96:
Nice write-up.

Price and the incredibly silly glass back put me off the Tab S3. Such a shame that to Samsung nowadays "premium" means fragile and slippery. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the plastic backs they used to use and I'll take that it any day over glass or metal.

The iPad 10.5 is what the Tab S3 should have been in so many ways rather than a minor update to the Tab S2 but I'm not ready to go Apple yet. Amoled is keeping me on Android for the time being so I'll simply stick with my Tab S for at least another year.
