[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N33L1X:
Greetings all!

This is my first post on this awesome looking community forum.

Problem [aka I've been hacked by the NSA:) ]:

I was looking at my old Galaxy Nexus phone for photos and wanted to email them but soon after I connected to the wifi the phone tried to reboot and got into a boot loop.

I can get into the bootloader and recovery mode. But on boot the phone just shows the colorful X graphic.

Due Diligence: I've been researching for 3 or more hours with no easy solution.

My understanding is that I need to enable USB debugging in OS to connect the phone to my computer.

And then I can use some freeware software to recover.

I don't think it is enabled but I might have done it a long time ago.

Edit*** - Sorry, I forgot to mention that I did try the clear cache and reboot method

I've tried a few recovery softwares but the only one I think will work is a trial and will only list the data.

Here are two websites I found that I think are helpful of the two dozen or so websites/forums I searched.

(EDIT*** I can't post links yet)

1. A google help forum, I don't know any programming, so I don't know if this will work

**** Google "How to enable usb debugging if I can't access settings?"

2. This one looks interesting but step 2 is factory wipe.

Literally the majority of the websites/forums I found the community said the solutions either didn't work or the OP said the solution would wipe the data on the phone.

I guess I should have backed up these photos a long time ago :(

They aren't that important I guess but if anyone knows any safe free software or simple to understand process to do a recovery of data from an inaccessible phone I would love to see your reply.

I understand this isn't a simple problem to fix, and I know some people might not want to share how to do this because someone is loosing business but I myself am trying to start a small business and I don't really think I should spend the money on professional services. And I'm cheap af :P

Thank you for reading this post and thank you for any advice you can offer.

Sincerely,

Kevin

Hi,

I've just purchased Moto Z Play and didn't know that it's a china version working on Android 6

What's more Android Pay doesn't work - I think because of China ver of system.

I've tried to upgrade to Nougat from dbb - failed

What can I do in order to be able to pay with Android Pay ?

You can flash 7.1.1 https://xdaforums.com/moto-z-play/development/rom-single-dual-sim-t3620551 but no chance for android pay for now.

This is great watch but it needs some some software modding. I`m also looking for a different interface menu - custom rom (not a launcher) or a way to rearrange the icons of the menu?

[Asus Transformer TF700] hepa1964:
Dear fellow Infiniteers,

My name is Hans and I come from Holland.

3 years ago I got my tf700t. It was unlocked and rooted and had a ww_epad-10.6.1.14.8-20130514 bootloader, original TWRP 2.8.7.0 and Cromi-Xenogenesis ODEX 4.7.0 OS and a 16Gb SD-card in the tablet (not dock). The device was so slow that I didn't use it for several months. Ofcoarse the batteries where empty and after charging the tf700t went in a bootloop. On my search on internet I found this great forum, after many hours of reading I managed to flash Android 7.1.2., I lost root but after using Towelroot_V1 I even got root back. Now everything works fantastic. It seems to be an whole other device, Thank you so much developers. I understood it was essential to setup an adb connection, so I did.

I still have to convert my internal memory to F2FS, but need to read more before doing it. This puzzels my a lot. Also I would like a TWRP version that also can handle the dock-SD card, because I want that particular place to keep my backups, flashrom and other flash.zip files.

Now my Questions are:

Should I upgrade my bootloader?

1 For converting internal to F2FS or something else? And

2 Why should I install Kang-TWRP? wich needs 14.10. so I can use the dock sd card for zip's and backups?

Thanks to anyone who reacts.

Hello all, is it possibly to Odin stock firmware on Verizon variant?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] me2151:
Yes. it wont carrier unlock your phone though
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dottat:
Thought Verizon phones were already carrier unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] me2151:
If you buy a phone through a carrier its generally not unlocked. Verizon might be different
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dottat:
Yep so when I supported Verizon devices the one thing that always struck me odd was how many went overseas and out of the us. It was because they were sim unlocked from get go.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] TechBSwift:
Verizon phones are always carrier unlocked by default. It has something to do with an agreement they sign with the fcc back in the day. All 4g lte phones have to be unlocked by default for Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] me2151:
Interesting. Thanks for this info. TIL.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] kbonnel:
On a slightly similar topic, I have a Verizon Note 8 (that is unlocked, already checked with my t-mobile sim), and I wanted to verify a couple of things. If I were to flash, via odin, the stock non-carrier firmware, will it basically be the same as what you would get from Samsung (i.e. an unlocked note 8)? The main reason I ask, is there are various flashing processes on xda, from unlocked firmware, carrier firmware (which I assume is refereed to as stock in certain xda threads), and carrier switching. Is the carrier switching processes only required when you want to specifically run the carrier firmware? (and thus changing the csc value). If you already have a carrier branded sim unlocked note 8, all one needs to do (to make sure it works as any other unlocked note 8) is to install the Samsung unlocked firmware?

In other words, if I flash the stock unlocked Samsung firmware on my sim unlocked Verizon note 8, will it work on t-mobile with all of the supported bands, etc.? (it is my understanding that carrier features on t-mobile work fine on unlocked samsung phones, such as wifi calling, volte, etc.) Or would I also need to load the userdata file to get those features?

I have searched and read so many threads, and sometimes I feel like I got it all figured out, and then I read threads that seem to confuse the whole situation.... (and most threads seem to be revolving around carrier branded vs an unlocked phone, or sim unlocking a carrier branded phone)

We've already seen that Opera 9.5 is soon going to be avaialble. That should transform our web browsing experience.

Now, not to be outdone, Netfront 3.5 is also dramatically improving the speed too.

Read this article for details, and for beta test of Netfront 3.5 if you're as interested as I am.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
The new king of mobile web browser is here!

Earlier today, I posted that Opera Mini 4 was the fastest available web browser I have tested. Now, just few hours later, I have to say very happily that a new king has been found. Look at the relative performance

Web site: smh.com.au

Picsel browser: 65 sec

Pie with Pieplus: 84 sec

Opera 8.65: 52 sec

Opera mini 4: 26 sec

Netfront: 10 seconds

Website: XDA-developers.com home page

Picsel browser: 28 seconds

Pieplus: 43 seconds

Opera 8.65: 30 seconds

Opera Mini: 32 seconds

Netfront: 23 seconds

Website: ppcsg.com

Picsel browser: 58 sec

Pie with Pieplus: 59 sec

Opera 8.65: 57 sec

Opera mini 4: 32 sec

Netfront: 14 seconds

Website: cnet.com

Picsel browser: 77sec

Pie with Pieplus: 54 sec

Opera 8.65: 86 sec

Opera mini 4: 25 sec

Netfront: 16 seconds

As you can see, there is no fight! Until Opera 9.5 arrives, that is.

I'm so excited with this browser war. We the users will ultimately be the number one winner of this.

Go get yourself the netfront 3.5 browser now.:D:D

BTW, Leoni, your video does not have the same basis of measurement as mine. Mine measure the time until the browser COMPLETELY stop downloading and rendering, NOT till the time when the full webpage is useable. For Opera Mini 4 for example, you can see the complete webpage and start using it at about 1/3 to 1/2 the time posted here, while the "in process icon" is still spining.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Rudegar:
is it over wifi or 3g or ?

i ask because 3g's speed would prob variate with reception str

where wifi would prob do so less
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
Good point.

My tests were done over 3G connectio with 4 bars reception.

My service provider's speed is ok but not the best in town. I had done a test before and found that Telstra's speed is faster than optus'.

But you're right. The network speed would affect the result.

However. it should not affect the RELATIVE result.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Kenjari:
Is your opinion that Netfront, based on your research is a faster browser of 3g?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
On speed alone, that seems to be the case. However, this is still a beta. i've already noted some bugs. The scrolling does'nt work quite correctly and reliably yet, it seems...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fards:
i'm stuck on gprs today, and have noticed that page will render then partially blank then re-render, this forum in particular. but if im stuck on gprs just stick it on simple browsing and watch it fly.

was in weatherspoons (pub chain decent beer & low prices) anf using their free wlan access!

full browsing is as fast as laptop, from what I could see.. nothing imperical, just observations such as the beowulf was much nicer than the derventonian..

nf is faster than om4 on wlan, tried a couple of forums using hybrid threading and the guardian site and all were rendered well and very quickly. so far I love itself !

however typing this in no virtual screen simple render means the end of the text box gets cut off, with no option to drag and scroll the box, using smart-fit rendering does solve this
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
I noticed the same too. I hope the beta testers would point these out and get it fixed before the final version is released.

I like the trend that I'm seeing though. Improved engine, speedier rendering. Lots of third party software competing with each other.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ice_coffee:
omg, it is so amazing I can't find the words to describ it

I have been waiting years for this, why did it take them so long and why didn't ms do it ?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] decimusmaximus7:
Does it do tabbed browsing like opera?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] JwY:
Yes it has tabbed browsing.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Confucious:
Yes - but it took me a while to realise that when it asked if I wanted to open a link in a new Window it was actually meaning a new tab!

NetFront 3.5 is great :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Kenjari:
Can the new Netfront be changed to read as "Desktop" mode? Currently, I can only go to webpages in "Handheld" mode.

Thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
Select Menu/view/browser mode/full browsing.

Then Menu/view/Display mode/Normal.

This will make your display 100% identical to desktop browser.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Kenjari:
Thanks eaglesteve.;) That worked for the most part. I think there are some websites that reads a certain code on the browser that will convey to the site that it is handheld or desktop.

With Opera, it gives you the ability to switch. With Netfront, it kind of chooses for you!!!

Thanks again buddy!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wgary:
Java support?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
Unfortunately, no. Also, not able to play classical youtube videos.

I think that will also be the case with Opera 9.5, until Adobe decides to release FL3 for window mobile platform.

Help Please!!

Battery is draining extremely FAST!!

Did everything including wipe system and wipe cache

Using TWRP

Refashed the ROM

But didnt solve the POOR battery drain issue.

Here is a story of the problem i am having

I charge the phone on a evening to 100%

I then go to sleep with 100%

Wifi Is off location is off

The only thing i have is my alarm clock to wake me up (Which works)

Wake up and realise that my battery had dropped to around 70% just on idle with alarm

I used the Wakelock Detector [ROOT] to detect any wakelock stuff

Then greenified pretty much every app except the google and some omni stuff because it said not hibernating.

Reflashed ROM, i have nothing at all installed,NOTHING,no app from the play store

Just stock Gapps.

Still the battery is draining like usual.

See Below For Photos

What does Mobile Network Mean and why is it soo red?

Can someone help me please or at least suggest a suggestion that could work.

I dont want to go to linegeOS as it is too plain.

Thanks for reading this :D
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatandroiddude:
By the looks of it, it seems that you are running a custom Rom so I can see why you'd be confused. My question is are you still using a stock battery because I had a similar problem with mine running stock so I flashed Resurrection and I still had battery drain problems. I would recommend purchasing an aftermarket battery from Powerbear on Amazon. It's around $20 which is quite step compared to purchasing another stock battery but (speaking from experience) it's worth the purchase.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Drunkula:
My S7 (Verizon) pairs fine with the Bluetooth in my truck. I can play audio from my phone to the truck, I receive texts that are read out over the audio system, and I can make and receive calls via bluetooth, as well. However, some contacts that are on my phone don't list in the truck, nor are they accessible by navigating the truck menus. It's like they aren't on the phone. I verified that on my phone one contact in particular is not just in phone contacts, but Google contacts, and Verizon cloud.

Any ideas on what may be causing that?

Samsung have made tens of millions of mobile phones if not billions. They have a very solid reputation now and IF they make a mistake they own up to it.

ALL and EVERY mobile we buy will have lemons I am certain that following last years little upset, cough cough, Samsung will have done everything in their power to insure the Note 8 is a wonderful device that we will all be proud to own and the envy of all fruity brand owners. :o

It charges slowly but I just assume it's them being overly cautious same with the smaller battery.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] guthrien:
Agreed. Though for me it charges pretty quickly. Maybe I forgot how fast the 7 was after a year with the iPhone which was glacial.

Also, low light isn't horrible if you even have an offset light source. I've been happily surprised with that.

I definitely have no huge complaints. The battery life could be better but I use my phone a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
that was obvious last year with the note 7.1 recall and then exactly the same problem with version 7.2 lol.....they clearly took a huge hit on this. Trust is a strong word to place on a firm that failed ....twice. Personally I don't believe there was a massive problem but the market deemed it as catastrophic...

I wonder how many in total went pop compared to apple or any other device using lithium ion batteries!

My neighbour has/had a robot mower that caught fire in the summer ..... LI batteries are fragile but I still wonder why Samsung plays it so safe with a titchy battery when plenty of other phones (much cheaper too) use larger batteries without problems.

You are agreeing and disagreeing with me in the same post? :eek:

"A firm that failed twice". I bought both those note 7's and it was an upsetting time. I hardly think ?200? mobiles going pop out of the number Samsung has made makes Samsung a risk? After you mention the Note 7 situation you then write the same yourself.

If you view the YouTube clips on battery you will see the Note 8 does better than my present SGS8+.

Have you seen the schematics for the Note 8? You can't get a pin inside because its the S-pen that takes a lot off space. The Note 8 has had one hell of a bashing because of its size as it is. I find that absurd as by nature, from the Note 1, They have been the larger versions of their siblings, the S range.
