[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VFhellionID:
Hi There.

I am currently using Sony Xperia XA running Android 7.0 with the default Xperia Launcher and I am planning to get a new phone with stock android.

I want to ask something to users running a stock android 7 or 8.

1. Does stock android 7/8 have this Keep Notifications on Lock Screen Options/Slider?

This option in Sony's devices (with Xperia Launcher/Skin) enable the notifications to stay at lock screen whenever you unlock your device and lock it back. It really nice to have this options, since I do not have to unlock and drag down the notifications badge on the status bar to preview them. Fyi, The notifications on lock screen will be gone if you unlock and relock the device again in some custom android skin, like MIUI, even without opening the app for the notifications.

2. Can somebody please give me a confirmation, in stock android (7 or 8) default settings, will the notifications on lock screen be gone after you unlock and re-lock the device? Are there any settings to keep the notifications on lock screen like the above options in Xperia Devices.

Thank you very much for your help...

I just check for a new software version, randomly, knowing that it would say I am up to date. However, there was a new update. I'm going to see if I can find any details for it. The size is 57 MB. Has a pretty cool installation screen.

Anyway, it looks like it is primarily security patches.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Hrhigher:
did you find anything i got this updated to, i should applied yet because i thought maybe they are patching the bootloader isues that could affect the device maybe? so it can be unlocked, i really want root and i dont want to screw the opportunities patching new updates
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Xanadu73:
For whatever it's worth, I just installed the update and the Android Security Patch Level is only "July 1, 2017" even though other pages say it's supposed to be the August patch level.

hello fellow samsungnites,

I disabled all options under Smart Typing, yet blank spaces are being automatically added when handwriting. Please check this video and screenshots.

https://vimeo.com/231505708

My specs:

SM-T820 fully updated

latest version of samsung keyboard

I also cleared it's cache.

And there you go, another bug just reared it's head. No matter what, it insists in adding an apostrophe when none is required and prediction is disabled.

it's instead of its.

Note: the bug doesn't happen if I add a comma or period after a word.

does the same happen to you?

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] CASz:
I'm trying what you did it's adding in its own spaces when I lift the pen. It did do its and it's depending on where I dotted the i.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] diehard2013:
and you have all options under Smart Typing disabled, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] CASz:
Yes I do. I made sure to try to reproduce
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] diehard2013:
i luv u.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] diehard2013:
I have an open ticket with Samsung support. They allege they couldn't replicate this bug in their lab.

They insist I should do a "hard reset", or reload factory defaults, which I declined because it's drastic, time consuming and, more importantly, it does not guarantee to fix the issue.

Is your tab S3 loaded with alot of apps on is it "clean" in the sense that it's similar to an android that was reset?

thanks again!

note: I just had a fantastic idea. I am heading right now to the nearest Best Buy store and test their samsungs on display.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] CASz:
I have quite a few apps but nothing really out there. mostly I read and play a few casual games. I'm pretty sure this is just the way the sensor works in order to allow people to just write.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] diehard2013:
mission accomplished.

I just got back from the Dundas Square Best Buy. The same bug happened on their tab S3 demo. There is another store not far away which I will visit tomorrow.

on a side note tab S3 spen works on the Note 8, though I didn't test the handwriting bug.

Stay tuned...

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] diehard2013:
I understand. But other handwriting apps do not add a blank space if I resume writing right next to the last letter.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] CASz:
Using the SPen? Interesting choice Samsung made.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] diehard2013:
come again?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] CASz:
If the Spen is working differently in different apps, Samsung must be controlling specific parts of the api as default behaviour.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] diehard2013:
I believe there is confusion.

This problem happens on my tab S3 (sm-t820) in handwriting mode regardless of app.

With your test and the additional tests i performed today at Best Buy, I am convinced it's a bug with the Samsung keyboard driver (or app).

The Same issue does not happen if the handwriting tool is google's handwriting app or MyScript.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] diehard2013:
another Best Buy, another tab S3.

So I got my Verizon Note 8 today.

Upon initial setup I get to the point where it asks me to pick device to restore information from.

As soon as I pick I get this screen ...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/fw5uozfohfk05g7/2017-09-05 17.20.51.mp4?dl=0

This is as far as it gets.

I can reboot and skip but then I am going to have to spend hours of configuring the phone.

[MENTION=4956733]dimitriz75[/MENTION] Are you sure you have a good wifi or data connection? I have only seen that if phone happened to go offline or was having connectivity issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dimitriz75:
I definitely have a good WiFi signal. Also tried it at work and home within 5-15ft from a router.

Will try 4G.

Yep, looks like same thing with 4G (3-4bars).. grrr..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dimitriz75:
Ok, if I pick any other phone but my last one then I can get further to restore. Hmm....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rjohnstone:
Are you trying to do it over WiFi?

Use direct cable method. That's why Samsung included the USB-A to USB-C adapter.

Plug your stock Micro-USB cable into your old phone and put the USB-A to USB-C adapter on the other end and plug it into your Note.

Much faster and works every time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dimitriz75:
That stuff works just fine, I was having a problem restoring account info from Google that Samsung Smart Switch doesn't transfer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rjohnstone:
I've never had much success transferring Google info from one phone to another.

Google associates a lot of the info to the device. Transferring it from device to device has always been a pain point for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] timmyhawk1983:
sure u don't need a sim with an ACTIVE account. when I sold my note 5 to someone he tried to say I sold him a bogus phone becuz he tried to use WIFI and his account .. but low and behold he was gonna send it to his friend in Mexico and try to use it as an unlocked device once he got into the device even though it was a AT&T only phone. I advised him he better have AT&T and use his SIM to unlock the device he said NO IT WILL FRY MY SIM CARD lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pedmond:
Will direct cable also restore the apps from the previous phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rjohnstone:
Unfortunately no. Or should I say, not the last version of the transfer software I used. (About a year ago)

Not sure if Samsung added that to the current version.

The version I used will transfer the user's app data, but not the app itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pbelcomp:
Did you find a solution for this?

I'm having the same issue on my new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dimitriz75:
I've tried just about everything without any success.

Just gave up and restored one of my other phones and now manually have to resetup everything. :(

Just for tracking what phone are to you having a problem importing from? I am going from Samsung Galaxy S7e.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pbelcomp:
GS8+

I picked don't restore for that part and I restored from Samsung instead and it did a pretty good job putting my phone close to what I had.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dimitriz75:
How do you restore from Samsung? Smart Switch?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pbelcomp:
No, it's Samsung Cloud.

I find it under Settings>Cloud and accounts>Samsung Cloud

I have been using it for a while and it restored all my apps, home screens, txts and such.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dimitriz75:
Oh, nice.

Unfortunately I am on Verizon and they decided that Samsung Cloud is not good for me. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] kcjnz:
I am having the exact same problem on T-Mobile. I start setup and get to where it asks if you want to restore from the last device the account, I choose my Note 4 that I have been using and it goes to a blank screen and at that point all you can do is restart. Spoke to both T-Mobile (had no clue what issue is) and Samsung and they had me do factory reset which did not help. So I bypassed and used Smart Switch but it did not restore some things that the Google restore does. Will see if I can find a solution otherwise the phone will go back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] us1415:
Same problem with my AT&T note 8. After 4-5 tries, I decided to manually restore the the apps. The texts and call data was stored on AT&T cloud. I was coming from LG V20
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Demonface.24:
I ran into the same problem, But I had an old backup saved. So I don't know if that affected anything. so I guess when my screen protector drys I will try it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dimitriz75:
Isn't it a part of Android OS that causes the while screen? I am thinking it's more of a bug on Google's part that sees something in that profile and causes the while/black screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jellyhead:
Use smartswitch to save your backup to the SDcard then swap the card into the new phone and restore

restored all my data from Google 1st then Samsung cloud after without any problem, previous phone is GS7E.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] twospirits:
I had the same thing happen to me with one of the 2 Note8 I got last week. And I thought it was because I was selecting the wrong phone on my account (Sprint) and didn't noticed that I was trying to update the wrong phone. Ended up having to bypass it and manually install my apps. But the same thing happened to the other Note8 that I chose the correct device to update and also had to do that one manually. When I updated the S8+ from the Note Edge, it worked. Seems to be a bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ailima:
I reinstalled everything with Smart Switch... which was a FAIL because it doesn't restore data.

Both Note 8s of ours had this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jellyhead:
SmartSwitch won't restore third party app data, only OS data. Maybe this only works when restoring data from a compatible OS/phone. My data was restored from my Note 7 backup. Helium will restore third party app data but I had issues restoring some apps on this phone. Maybe helium is too outdated but without root, options are limited for third party app data restoring.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Keldig:
Had the same issue and had to use smart switch and break up the transfer into 4 parts because my Note 5 was almost full. But I'm missing 5+ gigs I assume most of that is app data...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] phaze1:
I fought with that same issue for hours. Even did factory reset several times via the bootloader and no luck. I finally just did the Smart Switch/Helium combo to restore most of my stuff. I am not sure if it's related to the problem with Google and their sync permissions issue. Explanation of the issue is as follows:

If you go to your phone Settings->Cloud and Accounts->Backup and Restore->Google Account You may see an error that says it's been "Disabled by your admin".

I have read that this is supposed to be fixed by the 21st and doesn't really affect backups. However I'm not sure if this what's causing it not to be able to restore and gives us the white screen of death but I guess that would be my luck ?. Anyway not everybody has that error so not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] CJSnet:
I also have the Google sync bug and the Note8 blank screen during setup bug. Nice work Google.

I'm having the same problem you guys are - but on the s8! Sent my phone for a screen repair, got it back today and tried to restore back - white screen. Very annoying. You would have thought google would have addressed this by now.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tonymy01:
Same problem going from an S7E, tried 3 times leaving it for over an hour the third time (painful when wanting to play with a new toy!) so gave up and skipped the restore from Google and did the Samsung cloud restore followed by a SmartSwitch restore (as cloud didn't have all apps). Then a little helium restore on some of the apps that didn't get their data restored that don't have Google/cloud synch (Samsung beepNGo, password safe, in particular).

And my Google backup definitely has been showing "blocked by administrator" on my S7E, thought perhaps either Samsung blocks, or something to do with my corporate email on Outlook 365.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Chasis.fan:
Exactly same behavior (black screen only with time in upper bar right after choosing the restore target and validate) then after a while a total white screen.

From a nexus 5x google drive backup (died again after because of the crappy memory....) to a Nokia 8 (updated first to latest firmware including november security fixes but not Oreo rom yet).

Both old and new devices are not operator specific (nexus 5x from google play store / nokia 8 from Amazon.fr).

So may be not related to Samsung but buggy Android components (maybe causes by some specific data to restore)....

Maybe we can hope some improvements with new 8.1 feature : http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/1...ow-restore-backed-data-initial-setup-process/

But since now Google keeps backup only few months, not usable if backup phone is lost / bricked :(

Solution to restoring old google apps to new Samsung Galaxy phone

Hey everyone! So I had this issue on my Samsung Galaxy S8 that I just got. I would get a white or black screen and would not move forward. I tried updating the phone and then restoring and same result.

So did some digging and found a workaround that worked for me:

1. You will need to install ADB

I used this one and it worked great: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

2. Go into your phone and enable ADB debugging:

Go to Settings->About Phone-> Tap on Build Number 5 or 10 times until it says Developer mode enabled.

Go back to Settings and at the bottom you will see a Developer options -> Enable USB Debugging

3. Take a cable and connect your phone to your PC. Open command line and navigate to the C:/adb/

4. Type: adb devices

Should get something like this:

C:\adb>adb devices

List of devices attached

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

9888xxxxx2534a49 unauthorized

5. Type: adb shell

You may get this error:

error: device unauthorized.

This adbd's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set; try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.

Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

If you got the error above go back to the developer options, revoke USB debugging authorizations and disable the USB debugging. Then enable the USB debugging again and you should get a message on your screen that you should confirm.

If you type adb shell again you should see this:

dreamqlteue:/ $

6. I got the information on how to restore the backup from this link: https://android.stackexchange.com/q...fter-stopping-it-on-first-opening-google-play

Basically you type:

bmgr list sets

It will return something like this:

1234567890abcdef : droid48

34567890abcdef12 : galaxy49

Decide which backup is the correct one and then type:

bmgr restore 1234567890abcdef

This message will show up on the screen:

Scheduling restore: droid48

done

That's it!

I hope this helps you all!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] renatoknot:
Thx man, apparently the commands work, I'll test it when I change rom. But, how do I know the date of the two backups that it lists in adb? I'm afraid to restore the older backup. Thx by solution
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tsassin:
NP. Keep in mind this only restore apps you have download from the play store. It does not restore any other data. Please make sure you still backup all your other data.

Cheers

White screen restoring from Google Backup

Hi,

Did anyone manage to fix this issue? I have the same problem with my OnePlus 3T. It got run over on Christmas day! Fortunately my google drive account had a back up from the same day. Insurance company sent phone back repaired and factory reset. When I select restore data from an old phone and see and select the relevant backup (I only have one backup), it goes to black screen and sometimes switches to white screen (just like image and video in original post). Its non-responsive and can only force a restart.

Trying to restore update via wifi. I am particularly after app data, such as voice recordings and sms messages.

Many thanks for any help available.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] busybb:
Great, thanks so much. However after

1. selecting setup as a new phone

2. updating the software and then

3. factory reset

4. starting from a backup/old phone

I got further and was able to select what if all apps I wanted to use.

Its now a few hours gone and its updating the apps etc . Its only on 9 of 255 though!

Can't see if it has really worked.

SMS has not been restored (yet) and apps that have been downloaded (1 of the 9) isn't available (yet) on my list of apps.

Will update, once it completes it download.

FYI: I thought my phones operating system was up to date or just an update behind as of Dec 2017. I updated to Oxygen 5.0.1 today and my settings say im on Android 8.0.0 (not sure what it was on in December 2017).

As the title says, this is a WinMo 6.1 hybrid, with Vodafone ROM + Radio (both newest), OEM section from the HTC latest build and .net CF 3.5. The pagepool has been set to 32MB using the PagePool Changer on the .nb during cooking, but the situation around Kaiser PPs seems somewhat unclear.

This ROM is 'in a HTC style' (due to the HTC OEM) but with the good bits from the Vodafone ROM.

NO OTHER CHANGES!

Aside from .net changes, the contents of this ROM are completely stock. It has the modaco man on the splash screen, cos I hang out there and I like the graphics :P
