https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/124792/my-phone-stopped-remembering-wifi-passwords

There are also people conplaining this problem.

In the link pasted on the top, there is a possible fixes for some fortunate people... But actually this doesn't work for me.

-First, ro.secure.storage or ro.securestorage. thing does not exist on my device. I don't even know if it existed on my device.

-Second, there is something about /efs/ss_data, a file that also not exists on my device.

So I don't know if it's because Samsung built it differently or it has been removed. Keep checking...
[General Questions and Answers] Atronid:
After a check of my backups I saw that I got none of the file and property mentionned before.

So I'm unable to know where is the problem...
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you're saying that you looked in build.prop but you don't see any lines that say ro.securestorage, you can add those lines if they don't exist. Just edit build.prop and type the line in at the bottom then save build.prop and reboot the device.

[General Questions and Answers] Atronid:
This is what I did. Uneffective.

Why? Because I never got this prop before.

I checked my backups where the Wi-fi worked perfectly in case all of this would be due to the fact that this prop vanished because of a dark and random informatic process. And after checks I finally realized that I never had this prop...

Same thing for the file I mentionned before, located in /efs. I didn't lose it because I basically never got it.

So... This means that my device save Wi-fi informations by another way. And because I don't know this way, I cannot fix it...

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you got a different router but kept the same network name and password and didn't change anything on your device, that might be the issue, your device is probably looking for your original router because the information you originally saved was saved while the other router was in use.

Try backing up your apps, app data and settings but don't backup your wifi settings or saved wifi information. Then boot to recovery and factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik/ART. Then reboot the device, when it boots to system, try connecting and signing into your network again and see if it saves it correctly.

If the backups you are talking about are nandroid backups created in TWRP, you can also try doing an advanced restore in TWRP, you can restore just the data from your previously working backup without restoring everything else.

[General Questions and Answers] Atronid:
Thank you, I'll try this out
[General Questions and Answers] Atronid:
Well, tried what you told me and this didn't end well...

I used to make a factory reset of my phone. The problem was fixed. When I connected to the wifi first time, now each time I disabled and re-enabled it automatically reconnected (auto-connect is miraculous lol)

Then I flashed data back with TWRP recovery (backup by Nandroid app because I got a classical TarFork error with TWRP 2.7.0.1...)

When rebooting to Android it spammed 1M layers of various program crash message box.

Then using TWRP I reflashed this time everything I got then rebooting to Android the bootloader freezed.

I thought my phone was dead until I realized I could boot to recovery again. So I flashed an older backup and lost some data (fortunately I backed up SMS and apk).

My device is safe now, but this misadventure taught me lots of things:

-When I did a factory reset data has been erased, but system still the same and it reworked. So maybe an app is locking my Wi-fi like this. But which?

-Nandroid backup app is NOT reliable. If your device isn't clearly identified your backups are corrupt. Gotta erase all Nandroid backups I made.
[General Questions and Answers] Atronid:
Solved. Bug due to a bad TWRP backup. Made a fresh install and everything is fine now.

Alright guys,

I'm pretty peeved about this. For all 3 of my OnePlus devices (3, 3T, 5), I have not been able to download an app over my network data. This is running both stock and custom versions of OxygenOS 4.X.X. It hasn't really bothered me since I can do wi-fi at home, and forget about it. Today though, I really wanted to download an app while on the road! I've checked forums all over google. People say its a Nougat bug, but those posts are from early 2017. Anyone that has experienced this who can provide some troubleshooting steps?

Thank You!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Atlantian:
Yes,

1. Change carriers to a non-garbage carrier.

2. Create a new gmail account and see if the applications download with the "New account". IF! this works you need to clear the google accounts settings and perfrom a security/data reset/delete on the "Old" account.

3. Hard Reset your OP3T and OP5. or Reflash stock system image.

4. #cut your wrists if steps 1, 2 or 3 do not work.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] RyVee:
Hello everyone,

About a month ago I got my LG G6 as a replacement for my V10 (worst device I've owned) through AT&T insurance. I've noticed the gyroscope rotation is barely working. Only about 20% of the time the screen rotates when I turned my phone. I can force it by holding the power sleep button, waiting for the power options to show up then rotate my phone. Most of the time that forces it. Otherwise I have to reset my phone and it works for a while then fails again.

Is there any way to recalibrate the gyroscope?

My note 5 sm n920c got stolen, it was protected with fingerprint security and back up pin. I changed my google password, unable to locate or wipe it through my google account, it says can't reach the device, and it doesn't show up in samsung account. What really bothering me is gallery(photos and videos)and other docs(unfortunately no back up either). Is there any way thief might get into my stuff??

Kindly share your expert opinion, I'm really worried about it:(

Thank you
[Security Discussion] Josh Ross:
Somewhat good news from this situation is that thefts are usually for the device and not for the data, so your private information might be intact. Unless you had an SD card where all of your photos and data were kept, the chance of that lessens significantly. Another method is to connect your phone via USB. If it connects thief can access your files that way. Sorry to bring bad news, there are ways. Nothing good about getting a phone stolen, obviously, unfortunate that it happened.

Now as for the main course of action for theft, is to take a phone while its active and do a factory reset, so he can have and use the device. Otherwise, take the phone, try unlocking it, if unsuccessful use external access to factory reset the phone and sell it. I am not an expert, but usually, these type of thieves are not the smartest individuals around when it comes to tech. They want money or other personal gains in the usual scenarios.

Lesson: Keep all of your files backed up, tie your phone near you if possible. I am paranoid, I do that :) Other than that, stay safe, hopefully, other people can provide a more assure insight.
[Security Discussion] DrMarshal:
Means there is a chance thief can get in?
[Security Discussion] IronRoo:
What software & ver is it running? (have you been applying updates)

Have you rooted it or left developer options on ie adb over usb? Is it encrypted?

There is at least one potential exploit ie "knoxout" if running older OS, it seems. Also possible to spoof the finger print to gain access. But very unlikely your average opportunistic thief will bother with these as will require some knowledge, skills & time. At least the Note 5 doesn't have an SD card so you don't have to worry about the easy access to a portable SD.

Re fingerprints

https://www.theverge.com/2016/5/2/11540962/iphone-samsung-fingerprint-duplicate-hack-security

You should send the remote wipe command so that it'll be wiped if it comes back online (assuming it was enabled before) & report it stolen to your provider to get imei blacklisted, (despite limitations of reporting).
[Security Discussion] DrMarshal:
Android 7.0 , and yes i updated it eavh time there was an update. And didn't root it, never opened the developer options menu on it.

I sent the remote wipe command multiple times too
[Security Discussion] zelendel:
If they removed the Sim card that won't work. Which makes all remote wipes really kinda useless.

As stated. Most of the time within a few min if it being found/stolen the Sim is removed and the device reset.

[Security Discussion] supergear:
The odds are they factory resetted the phone and discarded the Sim card. Report is lost/stolen on your carrier. If it's an unlocked n5 then you're **** out of luck

---------- Post added at 02:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 AM ----------

Also I recommend everybody to set password on boot. Even if they try to reset it they will need a password to get into recovery. Tho they can still use a PC to reset the phone, just make it harder for them to factory reset your phone
[Security Discussion] zelendel:
Won't work if the Sim is removed and the device is reset.

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

And at that point they just sell it at a local shop and the shop flashes it from the bootloader. Or brute forces the password.

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] roxy1712:
Deciding to return my 2016 J3 because it's not well-supported in terms of aftermarket ROMs, and the thought of being stuck with TouchWiz Lollipop Samsung Bloatware makes me a little ill!

Looking into getting the J5, but not sure if I should save $$ by getting the 2015 version (which is more attractive to me because it's slightly smaller overall, which I like!) or do the 2016. On paper, they both look really similar and I'm leaning toward the 2015 since I don't do much gaming other than the occasional Angry Birds while waiting in the queue.

Any preferences?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] :
Go for 2016 Model because it will get Samsung Nougat Official Update and 2015 Model will not get it but still you can get Nougat for 2015 Model through Custom Roms like AospExtended or LOS 14.1 etc.

Has anyone had any luck getting transparent navbar working on 3rd party launchers (Nova, action, pixel, etc) on MIUI?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] mscion:
Hi. I use Total Launcher, which is highly customizable. It allows you to make the navbar background transparent. Initially, when I set up the launcher, the navbar had a milky white background which was pretty ugly. But in the Total Launcher settings you can make it any color and control its opacity. It does take a little work to get things right but it is worth the effort.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] HypoDest:
Under Settings > Additional Settings > Buttons

Enable 'screen buttons can be hidden'

This should make the navbar transparent

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Manly_Parasite:
I ordered a Galaxy S8 off of Amazon, it was advertised as the international version. I asked on the item's page if it had the exynos chipset, since after the hell that was the S7, I wanted to take advantage of the development the international versions had, and I had gotten an answer saying that it did indeed come with the exynos, and not snapdragon.

Anyway, the phone came in, I set it all up, and sold my S7 to a friend who desperately needed a new phone. I went to go start getting everything needed, and I'm not sure exactly why, but I double checked the settings, and saw that the model number is SM-G950U1

I thought international Samsungs were SM-G950F

Did I end up getting the wrong phone model? Does this thing have snapdragon? Or can I continue with the root processes?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] flametai1:
Hello Verizon Note 5 XDA members, I myself am a owner of the Verizon Note 5, eagerly awaiting, and looking for ways to gain root on this phone.

Unfortunately we do not have it fully as of yet. So in the mean time I have been messing around, looking for things I can do without rooting.

I am unsure if anyone else has found this method, or posted it to any other websites, however I have not noticed this posted on XDA nor have I found any accurate

posts on how to change APN settings, unless the phone is from a different carrier other than Verizon.

TL;DR - Here's a method I believe I found for changing APN Settings without root.

My phone specs is the first screenshot in the steps.

I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO ANY AND ALL DAMAGES TO YOUR PHONE THAT THIS MAY CAUSE. DOING THIS YOU ACCEPT AND USE THIS METHOD AT YOUR OWN RISK WITHOUT HOLDING ME LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES.

First things first, I am unsure if this will work for lower versions, or any other model. Or if any other phone may contain this. My model and version is this:

Also note, my APN Settings are greyed out, blocked, be whatever you want to call it.

Step 1. Clear all recent apps, or just make sure you do not have settings opened in the background processes. As this will stop you from reaching the bypass in step 6 and it will show the usual greyed out/blocked add button.

Step 2. Download Activity Launcher, or use any software that allows launching of app activities. I suggest Activity Launcher only due to this is the app I was using at the time I found this.

Step 3. Open Activity Launcher, and make sure All Activities is selected in the top left corner. It could take a few seconds, to a minute to load them all depending on how many apps you have installed.

Step 4. Locate the activity called "com.test.LTEfunctionality" without quotation marks. It should be near the bottom of the list in Activity Launcher. Expand the drop down by clicking on the activity once so it looks like the screenshot.

Step 5. Click on LTE Test to launch this activity. What launches should look like this screenshot below.

Step 6. Scroll down until you see LTE APN Setting as in the screenshot below. Then click it.

Step 7. Profit from changing your APN Settings to however you please.

To enable the APN, you must select it from the screen on Step 7, it will not show up in your usual Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names. It will also appear as you have no APN selected in the usual APN screen. To modify your APN's again, you will have to go through all of the above steps again starting from Step 3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] pbman1953:
Sorry, if I'm not in the know but why would I want this?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
You don't.. There's no need to change your APN (Access Point Name) when your phone is already set up to properly receive calls, texts and data. This will not do anything towards helping to root at all.. You would need this if you were trying to get a phone that you already paid for onto Verizon or some other carriers network. Other than that there's not much use of this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jimmy2526:
I'm using a verizon version on Cricket/AT&T. When I inserted my sim card I had to manually enter my APN info and all i had to do was scroll through settings till i found the mobile networks. Then once inside that menu I hit APN. It automatically let me enter my info without having to go through all of what you were explaining...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Giebnatious:
I am currently deployed and brought my Verizon Note 5. I purchased a prepaid data SIM and had to edit the APN settings for it to work. I didn't have to go through all these crazy steps either, I don't know what this person is talking about.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] PhoneZone922:
I finally got my APN to change

I tried this method and they must have patched it on the Dec 2017 software version because it did not open the APN Test at step 6..

What I did was put in am ATT sim card, went in to APN settings, Added an APN with the "TRACFONE.VZWENTP" APN settings and saved it. (the saved APN disappeared from the list after saving) Pulled out the ATT sim card, Reinserted my PagePlus sim card and restarted. It worked, I Now Have DATA!

The APN settings are still greyed out now and I can not change them but phone is using the APN i set while I had the other sim card in the phone so its working great for me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] el_roy1985:
I was excited, but unfortunately this did not work for me. I'm on Straight Talk and I updated to Nougat with Smart Switch, but now my data doesn't work. Would be super nice if I could change my APN setting and get it to work again. Verizon claims they don't lock their 4G LTE devices, but this definitely seems like a way of locking it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Danzic59:
Hey I just loaded a FreedomPop SIM card with no real problem. I swapped out the Sim card and then did a factory reset.

Is there such thing as a mod to add it?
