[LG G6 Questions and Answers] hecksagon:
Abnormally high screen on times are not uncommon in video playback tests while on WIFI. This is due to the lower brightness required (low average white level), lower processor utilization (due to hardware decoding), and no interaction with the screen (due to the processor not jumping to max frequency on screen touch).

Hello,

After flashing a new rom i am stuck after the setup screen when select ur wifi or data it says checking for updates with every rom that i flash i cannot pass the checking for updates... screen

Never had this before, can someone help me out? :(

Did you flash BeansGapps? It's always happens to me, but connect to a good internet connection and that's the way to resolve the issue

Hello there, is your problem resolved? If no then please download older version of gapps and try again .

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] julian_m:
Hello.

I just bought the Samsung Galaxy S8 a month ago and I really love it. But there is this one error won't let me take screenshots, no matter in which app. I can't even take screenshots of my home- or lockscreen.

I get the following error message (in german) "Screenshot kann aufgrund einer Sicherheitsrichtlinie nicht aufgenommen werden" which is translated to "Unable to capture screenshot prevented by security policy".

What can I do?

Device info:

Model: SM-G950F

rooted: yes (Magisk v13.3)

EDIT:

Meanwhile I found out that it's not only the screenshots. It seems like a strange permission regarding any media is active. Few examples:

- I can't save a 9Gag post, it doesn't appear in the gallery and not even in the 9Gag folder when I check with ES File Explorer.

- Same goes for snapchat and Reddit. I try to save. Everythings alright, no error. Just doesn't show up in my Gallery.

EDIT2:

When I take pictures using the camera app, I have to select my SD card. When I try saving them to my internal storage, it just doesn't show up in my Gallery / Folder.

As this is my first post, please tell me if you need any further information.

Thanks in advance,

Julian:)

Have you disabled any apps, are you using any apps like greenify and so on?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
If you don't have any work related policy, then try to see if you have any credentials saved in settings. Go to settings>lock screen and security>other security settings> and see "clear credentials" If it is not grayed out, then you can try to clear, but if it is grayed out, then you don't have any credentials or policy set.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] julian_m:
I don't use Greenify and also haven't disabled any apps. I just tried to reset app presets to re-enable disabled apps and reset the permissions of every app. Nothing changed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] julian_m:
It was grayed out. I also checked the system certs as I though one of them might be disabled, no luck...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] WorldIRC:
Can you check your Device Administrators? This is what would enable a security policy to disable your Screen Shot abilities. You can search for Device Administrators in your device settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] julian_m:
There are two device administrators registered:

- Find my phone (which is activated, but disabling it doesn't make a difference)

- Secure folder (which is disabled)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] WorldIRC:
That's very strange then. Typically to enforce a "security policy" which would disable Screen Shots, you'd have to consent to a Device Administrator being loaded up. Often this is in the case of Corporate Work Email being put on a device. One of the available functions is the disabling of screenshots if the employer so chooses.

maybe you can try to reboot to safe mode to ensure that it's not a system problem? just press the power button to open power menu, tap and hold the power off, then it will show safe mode, tap it.

BTW you can't take screenshots of lock screen, i got the same prompt while doing this.

more lunacy by google dev

It suddenly appeared as an issue this week on my Note 4 (yes), must be after a recent update of some Google parts, the only idiots that do such silly security theatre are the dimwits at google campus, the only ones forcing users to suffer are google's android ruiners inc.

Google achieves the exact opposite of what they want;

Users are going to root their phones, BREAK security, switch off protective settings, in attempts to being able to do what they used to be able to do, like taking a screenshot. Oh how I hate those idiots at google campus with their delusions of grandeur.

My only solution to this was firing up Screenshot Touch;

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mdiwebma.screenshot

which is a great app either way. Just remember to disable and/or stop it when you're not taking screenshots. I like how it takes screenshots with a shake.

Hi all,

Since the last Fossil q app update on my Founder 2.0, I am able to choose custom backgrounds. But I can only choose between Instagram and Facebook, which is totally hoax. Apps like "feel the Wear" are able to copy custom ringtones from the smartphone app to the watch without problems. But Fossil itself cannot handle to send custom backgrounds via their own app... As I hate Facebook/Instagram, I won't use it and I sent a complaint to Fossil about this stupid way of using custom backgrounds. and I kindly ask you owner to also do so. So that Fossil finally makes their q app also useable for the SmartWatches

Well, it happened. Woke up to the phone super hot on charger, almost too hot to pick up. Rebooted it and it went into a bootlooped on the first LG screen before finally dumping into the green crash screen. This cycle repeated a few times. Now the phone is completely unresponsive to buttons and charger.

C'mon LG... (there's been reports of this happening)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] EvilHowl:
"Now the phone is completely unresponsive to buttons and charger."

So that's not a bootloop, because it doesn't bootloop. Return it.

Neither of G5, V20 and G6 bootloop, I assure you.

Yip never had this issue either, try a hard button reset (using buttons), maybe that helps, or connect to pc with LG bridge and do recovery restore.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] LayneRea:
Hello, I'm fairly new to programming let alone development, how ever I need to connect my home computer and mobile device to a class server provided by my college. The server allows user access by username and password but as an extra layer of security the instructor limits access to set ipv4 addresses. Given at&t as my provider I've been using mobile hotspot as my main internet service, unfortunately the ip address changes frequently through this service. I was wondering if there was any way to capture the range of these ip adresses or if anyone could direct me on another way to create a static address through which I could connnect (perhaps a very basic web server?).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] acbone710:
They need to change their policy. No consumer internet service uses a static IP, so even though yours may change faster, everyone else in the class will eventually have the same issue. They need to invest in a VPN if they want network security.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] eaglerugby04:
If this is an absolute requirement one option could be to get a static IP address from AT&T. I know Sprint offers that as an option for around $5 a month. might be a way to do this. The only other option I can think of is to get a server on something like cloud at cost or digital ocean and use it as a proxy.

Does your school offer up a VPN for students? One thing you might be able to ask the professor is if they will allow you to use it from on campus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] pbman1953:
My next upgrade is in November and I'm leaning to either an S8 or + or even a Pixel. I'm saying the Pixel to be rid of bloatware.

Are the Samsung's that much better and then I'd just deal with the bloatware and stop it with my Package Disabler software?

Can you explain the unlock flashing , more in detail.

Sounds like you're telling me to stay with Samsung and not go Pixel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] The_Tech_Princess:
You're in the VZW variant thread so I'm going to g ahead and make an assumption that you're talking about a VZW S8? If so, then yes, they're packed full of Veriozon turd-ware that can't be removed. Having said that, the thing I love about this phone is that you can flash a VZW S8 with the U firmware which eliminates all of the bloat! So, if you're willing to get it and put in a little time up front you won't have those issues anymore!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] pbman1953:
Seems like good news, but have a couple questions-

What is the "U" firmware?

What do you mean by a little time ?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] The_Tech_Princess:
The U firmware is the universal carrier unlocked firmware. There are a number of threads explaining how to load your VZW phone with it. It takes an hour or two total if you have to reload everything.

Really? You can flash on the Verizon s8?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] pbman1953:
Is there a flash that's clean of bloatware for the note?

I know there's no root for the N5 and I learned about the flashing idea from the S8 forum here at xda. The person wrote to flash unlocked. Verizon says that all their 4g phones are unlocked. How do flash unlocked?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] pbman1953:
Can anyone comment on this positivity or negatively.?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
There is no bloatware free firmware that you can flash. When Verizon says unlocked by that they mean the sim card slots unlocked so you can use it with any carrier you choose.. You cannot flash nothing to the N5 with the locked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] pbman1953:
I really appreciate you chiming in. I guess a bloatware free flash is wishful thinking. At this point and since my upgrade is in November I've given up hope on any chance of a root for the note5. And almost don't care anymore. My next phone may be the s8 or s8+. So far I don't see any review on the Note 8 that's swaying me towards another note. I'm almost thinking 7s iPhone series but probably won't.

Do you know if the Verizon s8 series has root?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
I have the Verizon S8+ and yes it has root access!! I also just received my new Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and I'm messing with it testing the battery VS the S8+ because the Note 8 is 3,300 and the S8+ is 3,500 but the funny thing is the Note 8 lasted longer and I had them both doing the same exact thing brightness was 100% on both and both were playing a YouTube video and the first one to shut off was the S8+ so I was a bit shocked but then again the Note 8 has more ram and the firmware was perfected just for the Note 8 and battery longevity, so I'm going to keep the Note 8 for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] pbman1953:
Nice!! Well, I'm still leaning to a the S8 but I'll still see what the Pixel 2 is like. I like the thought of being bloat free. But with a rooted s8 or plus that could be a wash in favor for Samsung.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] diet.tampon:
so this means you cannot flash an unlocked firmware on the N5, like you can on the S8+, to remove Verizon's bloatware and stuff?

not talking really about sot here, but about the battery health over months/years

I can read some posts where people report a very bad sot, when the Z play is normally a very good device regarding battery, There are several possible causes of course, the rom, the apps used... and battery degradation over months.

According to a studie, a lithium ion battery loose 10% every 250 charge cycles, there is some rules to help to not loose more :

A partial discharge reduces stress and prolongs battery life.

- avoid charge over 90%

- avoid use below 20/15%

- Battery lithium ion hate heat, so when charging avoid use your phone, can add heat from cpu mostly with games, and you will charge/heat longer

- the turbo charger make the phone heat like hell, and again lithium ion batteries can't stand the heat, it's a fact, Somes will say it's normal because it is sold like that. I won't take the risk if not needed, so i use only the turbo charger when urgency, otherwise i use my lenovo tablet charger (5,2v / 2A), that charge quite fast too with no heat at all.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] uchihakurtz:
I wish there was an option to turn off fast charging like on Samsung phones...
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Baronik:
I don't know if we got different phones, but I always charge phone with stock turbocharger and its never hot - when I'm not using it during charging is not even warmer than normally, when I use phone during charging it's little warm.

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] chris23445:
I've also done research into this, as this is the first phone I want to keep more than a year and a half. My conclusions from multiple sources are as follows (quite similar to your findings):

- Don't charge over 90%, but really you shouldn't charge past 80-85% (choose your percent based on how much you will need for the day)

- As you said, don't go below 20%, but really you shouldn't go lower than 40%.

From what I can tell, the 80-40 rule seems to be a legitimate and fairly reliable rule of thumb for smartphone batteries (don't go below 40%, don't charge past 80%).

Battery University has a lot of good info, and they state that smaller discharges and recharges are generally better for the battery. I've been able to get a full day or two of usage from my Z Play by starting with 90% and not going lower than 35-40%.
