Hi, andoroid keyboard

Hi, I have looked at the keyboard I am using and it is the Ancdroid keyboard, I went into apps and looked at the app permissions, it says Anroid keyboard (AOSP) and the subheadings "contacts" and "storage" were unchecked for permissions so I have enabled them, AGAIN I am still getting the banner permissions denied, this is a real pain, I feel like throwing this phone away! I dont understand what overlays are, the problem wtih these fu77ing things are that they SO DAMNED COMPLICATED you have to be a rocket scientist to understand them!! I HATE THESE things!! the phone part says that is it running firmware 6.0-01005 android and its a model 5010D running android 6 it says its a kernel version 3.18.19+ and is build number 01005, all this is like chinese to me!!

I do have another of these pixi phones in the UK, if I switch the sim card to that one do you think it will work? I have the Alcatatel U5 for my UK phone and thats just perfect, it lasts for ages on the battery and it switches from EE in England (prepay) to T mobile automatically when I have it with me in Nederland (travelling alot between The Nethelands and England) thanks laptopdunce
[General Questions and Answers] laptopdunce:
overlays

I have got a feeling it could be this file manager or overlays that is causing this problem, as there is a banner that comes up at the top of the phone when I turn it on, and alittle octopus that comes down from the top of the screen (that I have no idea what it is for) the Clean banner starts when I turn the phone on and has clean, boost, wifi, app manager and updat on it and folders underneath with folders, clean, boost, flashpight, screenshot and camera in blue underneath, I dont know how this thing started it didnt used to be there, this is what I DESPISE about these bloody things, they just appear for no reason!! Do you think doing a factory reset will stop it?? I only have some photos that I can back up on this phone, no special docs or anything like like, there isnt even an SD card in the phone. Oh, its such a damned pain, thanks laptopdunce
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yeah, it sounds like something you have installed somewhere. Backup what you want to keep and factory reset. If it is something that you installed, that will get rid of it.

[General Questions and Answers] laptopdunce:
OK will try that tomorrow, I have had the Dutch T mobile forum on to me to tell me to try the simcard in another phone to see if it is the simcard that is damaged, I dont have another phone here with me, and I cant see how the Sim card can be damaged as I can make calls through it and T mobile tell me that they can see my credit and details on the SIM card, I will try the factory reset tomorrow and get back to you, I cant imagine how I could have downloaded something, as I looked on youtube for these "remove Overlay" vids but when I do that I dont get the window coming up in google play store permissions saying "you have an overlay running" but there are things showing that were not there when I first got the phone only last month. Its only a phone to stay in contact with people I have never used it on wifi except when connected to my laptop router at home. Will let you know what happens tomorrow, thanks laptopdunce
[General Questions and Answers] laptopdunce:
Just one extra thing, should I take out the SIM card from the Alcatel phone before doing the factory reset? thanks laptopdunce
[AT&T LG G5 Questions & Answers] Pookh007:
I can not import contacts from sim to phone. Only to Att phonebook or emails accounts. There is no option "To phone". Any suggestions?

Have you tried disabling the at&t address book?
[AT&T LG G5 Questions & Answers] Pookh007:
I did. Nothing still no option "To phone"
[Galaxy S6 Active] rmc69:
I have an S6 Active whereby the radio signal (4G/LTE) fluctuates wildly between say 120 db and 90 or so. I'm using Network Cell Info to monitor the signal plus the SIM status in settings. AT&T says there are no known issues with the closest towers. Turning VoLTE off or on makes no difference. Clearing the cache partition and a factory reset did nothing. I have an S6 Edge with exact same symptoms. I have serveral lines and other phones such as a Galaxy S8, HTC U11 and LG V10 are all rock-solid and hold a steady signal of around 90 db. I've switched sims around to rule out a bad sim card. I have reset network settings and had AT&T remove the phones on the back end and reset the connection.

I doubt if both the S6 Active and S6 Edge are defective. Is this a weak design of the radio and/or anntenna in the S6 series? Has anyone else with the S6 Active had a widely fluctuating signal? I can't say I've had any dropped calls, but then again I don't make many calls with the Active. Just curious if anyone else has had such issues.
[Galaxy S6 Active] hotbyz168:
Is the S6A switching band's? Especially if it's switching from 30 to 12. That could be your reason.
[Galaxy S6 Active] rmc69:
Not sure how to tell if it's switching channels. Here are 2 screenshots taken a few minutes ago. It fluctuated from 95 to 117 and then back to 95. As I said, I have 2 S6 phones doing this (an Edge and an Active), but the odd thing is that other phones in the house hold a rock-solid signal in the upper 80's with no fluctuation at all. I recently updated both (S6) phones to Nougat and that might have caused it, but I'm just speculating. This one really has me stumped.
[Galaxy S6 Active] rmc69:
Ok, I just realized it is switching between band 2 and band 30.
[Touch Cruise General] Micman:
Hi,

Has anyone experienced that Navigon is really slow on Polaris.

I just saw it on a Kaiser this afternoon and it is much faster.

Does anyone know a solution to this ?

Thanks

Micman
[Touch Cruise General] academic:
I've read somewhere that with the latest release it is better. Sorry but I don't remember the version. Show directly to Navigon.
[Touch Cruise General] xdamiki:
I have installed the navigon 6.1.5 build 734 and it go well. In first time i installed the 6.2.0 but it didn't go , so i have made a downgrade to ver. 6.1.5. and now all it ok and faster.
[Touch Cruise General] Straputsky:
Hello,

if you can understand german, you could have a look at this site:

http://forum.pocketnavigation.de/tid1062953-sid.htm

Don't know if it helps (I have tomtom) but you could give it a try. Short explanation: The author deleted the files which were used for other resolutions than 240x320 (for example 480x680) and compressed the remaining graphics a bit more (that's point 3 and 5). Another thing he did was to delete unused things in the ApplicationSettings.xml when you have the european map (that's point 4). Point 2 recommends to add a line into the navilib.ini (the user beauceron gives an example how the file could look like: http://forum.pocketnavigation.de/thread.php?postid=1497529)

All in all he reduced file sizes in order to speed up the software.
[Touch Cruise General] TheOnly1:
:) Navigon is really not the fastest nav software around. But it runs more than OK on my Polaris at least compared to the performance I've witnessed on my old Artemis and several other devices. Using 6.2 with Eastern Europe Map.
[Touch Cruise General] FlaTEriC18041983:
I have MN6 on a Navigon PNA 7110 and now on my Polaris, the app once started feels reacting quicker on the Polaris than on the PNA, but the loading of the app can take up to 2min. on my Polaris...

Would the loading-time be reduced with instructions in that german forum?
[Touch Cruise General] TDO:
Yes.

Loading can be optimised to 6 seconds!!

Try to flash the stock firmware using the Lg bridge app and try repairing a failed update. The phone will have the stock firmware without root but with the unlocked bootloader. It can solve some software problems during update sometimes.

Hi guys

Are you rocking right now....?

just do me a favor

I need TWRP recovery for my mobile and I know that you all have the capability to do it.....

Device info:

Manufacturer:LAVA

Model No.X1 SELFIE

Chipset:MT6580

kernel:3.10.72

Thanks in advance......
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Asking someone to build a recovery FOR you isn't how it works around here.

You search for one that has already been made for your device by someone else or if you don't find anything or if none exist for your model then you learn how to port TWRP from another similar device or you learn how to build TWRP for your device yourself.

I ask you to realize in this community where we are all just volunteers, it is somewhat rude to come here and say "hey, I need someone to build "this" for my device" as if there is someone here waiting for requests. You may actually find someone that will do it but your approach could have been a little more tactful.

We are volunteers here, we do this in our free time and only when we choose to do it, not when someone comes asking/demanding it.

If you want someone else to build anything for your model number then you need to go buy another device exactly like it then donate it to a developer that is willing to build TWRP for you, they have to have the device in their own hands to build for it.

Otherwise, you're on your own learning how to port or build it yourself.

You can download it from Play Store

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
TWRP is not an app that he can download from PlayStore. TWRP is a custom recovery. There are apps in the PlayStore that are used to install TWRP, such as the Official TWRP app and TWRP Manager app, but they are not TWRP itself. And they can only flash TWRP on a device ONLY IF there is already a TWRP recovery available for their device and only IF it is an official build of TWRP that the TWRP team decides to include in their list of supported devices. It does not find or flash unofficial builds of TWRP that have been built by someone but not included in the TWRP teams list.

As I said, they can search for TWRP for their model number, if it doesn't find anything then they'll have to port or build their own.

You need to do some reading to understand what TWRP is, where it comes from, how it is obtained and how it is flashed. You don't seem to understand exactly what the differences are.

That's not the point. No matter where Twrp can be downloaded from, he just has to look for it. I thought it could be from PS, it can't, my fault.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That's the point of his post, there isn't a TWRP available for their specific device. They are asking for someone to build a TWRP for their device.

My reply to them was to tell them all of their options for obtaining a TWRP for their model, even if they have to build it for themselves.

Also, your response implies that you don't know what TWRP is or where it comes from. If you don't know then you don't need to be telling them anything about something that you don't understand. That's a good way to lead someone into messing their device up.

If you don't know the details then don't say anything.

please don't argue just do it if you are able or leave it but my friends don't argue among yourselves. i will build it on my own....please leave it..
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It wasn't arguing, I was telling them to avoid posting about things they don't understand because their lack of understanding could lead someone into messing up their device. I don't think anyone wants help from someone that doesn't understand what they are talking about. There is a difference between trying to help someone and leading someone into a mess.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] flyingmedic:
So I just purchased a brand new Galaxy S8+ It’s T-Mobile branded. Here’s where it gets interesting.....

imei.info reports a Exonys processor.

SystemInfo (for Samsung) reports a Exonys....

ADIA64 reports a Snapdragon.....

How the hell can I definitely determine which I have, without attempting to root?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GamingSV:
Whats your model number. Just do a quick google search on that and you'll get the specs.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] flyingmedic:
Well, it’s a 955U ......it SHOULD be a Snapdragon.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] pilotp94:
If you have a 955U, it's definitely a Snapdragon. You could try CPU-Z if you still have doubts, though.

For the record, imei.info also reports my 955W as an Exynos chip, despite me having rooted with SamPWND literally today, so it's not just you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jhofseth:
As far as I know, US T-Mobile only sells Snapdragon S8/S8+. You can listen to FM radio stations if you plugin your earbuds and download an app like NextRadio, etc. Also, from what I've read, Exynos S8/S8+ do not have a FM tuner. :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] tengwer:
I have the Galaxy Note 8.0 GT N510 android 4.2.2 and it is rooted. I would like to upgrade and want to try going to kitkat and marshmallow. I plan on trying Clean Rom and Resurrection Remix. I know how to flash the roms and have TWRP. Clean ROM says I need to upgrade the bootloader to KitKat. Resurrection Remix does not mention anything about changing the bootloader.

1) how do you change the boot loader and where do I find the kitkat bootloader?

2) do I need to change the bootloader before flashing Resurrection Remix?

3) Will I still be able to write with the s-pen after upgrading?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated:)

Firstly, I doubt that anyone who really owns this phone and uses this website would be able to fix it. Try digging around in the website you found it or 4PDA - I found my tools of rooting there firstly(you may need to Google Translate the websites though, they're all in Russian).

Good luck!

Besides, as an ZC500TG user, I'd like to know whether the 7.1.1 build really work? Last time I've checked, it was only Lollipop based ROMS that didn't look fishy.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cmart0125:
Are you guys experiencing light bleed from the edges of your Note 8 screen. I just got my Tmobile Note 8 yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] imatts:
Wow...

I was hoping to god this wasn't gonna happen again.. I hated this so much with the Note 7 -_-

It isn't bad at all when the brightness is lowered, but looks absolutely disgusting when using the phone for GPS at night.

Last thing I want is for a $1500 phone to look cheap.

Apparently this is "natural" because of the glass and how it reflects light, BUT... all they had to do was wrap the black around it to block that reflective exit alone the edges.. But they didnt.

I may just take my note 8 back over this. I couldn't stand this on my note 7

OP, you should max the brightness, show a white image, and put a credit card on top of the screen and then take a picture.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] HeRe4oNeReAsoN:
Wow! I probably would have never noticed, but I do now. Thanks! :p I have a VZW but it doesn't seem near as bad as yours. Luckily my case covers it so I won't OCD over it, like the bubble I have in the bottom of my screen protector, going back to geek squad tomorrow. On my s7 edge I made them change it out 3 times. :angel:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] imatts:
You probably aren't noticing it because it takes a relatively bright image closer to the edge for it to appear.

View a white image with maxed brightness while covering the majority of the screen, and you will literally see a white ring around the edge of the phone.

Super damn annoying -_-
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] HeRe4oNeReAsoN:
After reading this post, I immediately took it out of the case, cranked the brightness up, turned the lights off, opened a web page, seen it! Aghhhh! On mine, it seems worst on the right side. Put it back in the case, took a shot, and now trying to forget it was ever there or my eyes will look for it every time, because it IS ANNOYING now that I KNOW it's there!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] imatts:
Sorry :(

If it makes you feel better, its only noticeable when the brightness is at a decent level. Plus using a case will get rid of it entirely.

I'll probably whip out the microscope and apply a fine line of black paint along the edge of the glass lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usmaak:
I wonder when they're going to get rid of light bleed. I've literally had it on every device with a screen that I've ever owned.

I thought that OLED devices weren't backlit. Blah blah blah individual pixels lit. Isn't that supposed to be a selling point of OLED screens? Where does the light bleed come from?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] imatts:
It happens because the glass is still thick enough to allow light to travel along the inside and exit throughout the edges.

This is such an easy fix too, which is why I don't understand why this hasn't been fixed. All they have to do is literally wrap the glass around the edges with the same material they're using the the top and sides anyway..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usmaak:
Ahh, ok. Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. It's different than the standard LCD light bleed then.

Hopefully I won't notice it much while it's in a case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] car.los.7399:
Zero light bleed on mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
A blast from the past. Identical thread in the Note 7 and nearly all other forums concerning the 'edge screen design'.

It is not technically "Light bleed" That term is reserved for a phenomena (problem-fault) often common with IPS panels.

What you are seeing is......how can one write.......light escaping NOT into the screen as light bleed but light escaping from the screen.....There is a gap between the body and where the display ends, this tiny tiny tiny space, in certain situations, can indeed shine light OUT but not into the screen and there is a difference but both can be annoying IF we become OCD about it. I guess this situation is part of the edge experience? As suggested by peers, a case will stop such micro reflections or light escaping.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cmart0125:
So this is a known issue with Galaxy phones?

I've never experienced it with the Note 7 or currently with the Galaxy S8 plus. Is this enough to get a replacement?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nuclearrage:
Wow, this thread is like dejavu, I had to really look for it with max brightness in a dark room to find it on both my note 7's. I didn't think it was a big deal but some did. If I get the note 8 I will look for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usmaak:
It sounds like you might have to go through more than one replacement to get one that doesn't do it.

Just for fun, I always follow the release of the new iPhone on Macrumors each year, and there's always a huge light bleed thread. I know (now) that this is something completely different than what happens with these phones.. People over there go through numerous replacements to try and get a perfect screen. Many never get one.

I will have my phone in a case from day one, so I guess that I won't see this.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fireguy0306:
I'm not seeing any either even with the brightness turned all the way up and various bright pictures. There's a slight change in brightness but that's to be expected with the curve but nothing like the pictures.
