[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 7699229:
Is it a worthy time to buy a new Smartphone?

Okay, so I wanted to revive this thread after a couple of months for any new insights on what smartphone to get. So far this year has been somewhat promising, with some disappointments about no headphone jacks and notches. But overall, I'm not sure if it's a good time to consider buying one or holding off till next year. I plan to get the Oneplus 5T during this summer, since the phone does seem like a worthy buy for about 400-500 dollars. I was also thinking about the note 8 or 9, but I don't want to sacrifice an arm and a leg for it. And I've lost faith in Huawei after their announcement about no more unlocked bootloaders. I know that there are plenty more to come, especially during the fall, but will it be worth the wait, since many new smartphones seem to follow the design of notches and no headphone jacks.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoHuToP:
Hello there. Totally worth it. Mine N910F is the best so far. Even G935F and G928F was my ex-phones and the only one pros was the 1h sot over my note 4 snapdragon.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thank you for the insights about the Snapdragon variant of the Note 4. However, after hearing about a couple issues with the Snapdragon variant (especially the EMMC issues) I've decided that I might just look for a new phone. So I apologize if I disregarded your post, since I didn't update the original post that I've made.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] sovrce:
Sometimes when I get a message, I'll get anywhere from 2-8 copies of that same message. It's not good because I think it counts as 8 separate copies of the text - not just one text that I get a few times.

Anyone have ANY idea what this could be? I'm on Alltel, if that helps.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kockroach:
When this has happened in the past to me (I am on Sprint), it was because I was in a poor signal area when receiving the message. I also had the reverse happen when I would try to send text in a poor signal area...it would send my text multiple times.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] sovrce:
Hmm.. I guess that could be possible. I just have a hard time with it because I normally have 5 bars. Maybe it's on their end..?

Any other thoughts?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] hellot1M:
Is there a way to turn off screen dimming at 5%. In some situations (like outside) I can't see anything. Obviously you can turn the brightness back up. But I want to keep it from turning it down automatically
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] basicreece:
Use macrodroid to setup a macro
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Geeks Empire:
disable auto brightness

:good:
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] hellot1M:
Auto brightness is the devil lol. Ive never used it and it has always been disabled. Do you have another solution to keep brightness from reducing to ZERO when phone reached 5%
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Geeks Empire:
didn't you set any profile or didn't install any apps to automating this?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] hellot1M:
No. This has been an issue on every LG device I've ever owned. I took basicreece advice and set a macro. Just finished testing it out and it works. Apparently after further digging this is a firmware limitation and there is no way to prevent this from happening without flashing another rom. Unfortunately I have the Sprint variant so my options are limited. Probably swap it out for my essential phone.. just sucks. This basic feature is so annoying. Especially when outside
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] tech_head:
I've used tasker to create a profile that below a value of 700 in light detection it turns off the "AutoBrightness" and uses a fixed table. Above that the "AutoBrightness" is switched back on.

You can long press on profile, then use impost to get it into tasker.

The problem is : I have 2 mobiles, Lenovo a7000(Rooted) and Lenovo P2(not rooted), both will be connected to same wifi, but my lenovo p2 connects perfectly to the wifi and gets pretty good speed and no disconnecting issue at all, where as lenovo a7000 can hardly stay on the wifi and barely connect to internet with least speed and connectivity

Can anyone help?

Have a XTONS and tried updating the Android from 4.4.4 to 5.2.1 but now am getting nothing on the screen.

The lights light up and when I try pressing the POWER BUTTON to try and go into RECOVERY I am not able now to do this.

Is there a way I can put the original Android back on and revive the unit. It is a PF70FSFA/B and what was on previous was: MCTB-GS-U2.73.

Would love to just get it back on again.

[OnePlus 3T Accessories] saarxee:
This case is grippy? good protection?

better than Spigen Neo hybrid?
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] seabro01:
Depends on which official case you get. The sandstone is grippy/gritty like other OnePlus sandstone products. The rosewood is the only wood case I've used. It feels like laminate floors and doesn't provide much grip. The Karbon (my favorite) feels like soft touch plastic and adds some extra grip.

The Spigen neo hybrid is fine but I prefer the official Karbon case since it's less bulky and has a nicer feel. The downside of the official cases is they don't cover the top or bottom edge of the phone and don't create much of a lip on the front. The RhinoShield Crash Guard is a good minimal option that will protect the phone from drops on flat surfaces.
[Android Head-Units] cchitson:
I recently purchased a tocado head unit from Amazon. it is running andriod 6.0. it is a great unit extremely stable. my only issue is the only Bluetooth device I am able to connect is my phone through the dialer app. there is no Bluetooth options in the settings. I was just trying to find a workaround to connect a obd sensor or other Bluetooth device. any help will be appreciated. I will update with mcu as soon as I get the vehicle. being a new user i can not add the link to amazon but it should be the first link when you search B01NADG3xx on google.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] izzyfanto:
During call, wifi icon disappears. Why? Very irritating. It's not a bug, since me and the wife both have a 3T and I have re-flashed mine multiple times in its life span, and that has always irritated me. I often need to make sure I'm on wifi during a long conference call for work. See screenshots. Any ideas?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] izzyfanto:
I also forgot to mention the battery percentage goes away too, which is also handy during a long call.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
The culprit is the OnePlus' incall app - you can remove it, but you have to be rooted, unfortunately.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] izzyfanto:
I am rooted. How do you remove the "incall app"?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/priv-app/OPInCallUI/OPInCallUI.apk /system/priv-app/OPInCallUI/OPInCallUI.apk.bak
reboot

or by navigating to that folder and renaming it with adding .bak extension (or something else) with your favorite file manager
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] izzyfanto:
Thanks for the reply. But when I rename it, nothing appears when I'm in call. It rings, but nothing shows. I don't understand how that fixes anything if I can't even use the call menu. Am I missing a step? I had to put it back the way it was.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] izzyfanto:
Sweet. Thank you very much for your help!!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] izzyfanto:
I tried it but I don't see the dual sim for selecting which to use for calling out. Am I missing something?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
In system settings, change "default sim for calls" to "always ask".
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] izzyfanto:
Hmm strange I had that enabled when I had the module installed. The dialer didn't even show the option to switch sims though. Unfortunately I just had to remove the module through magisk. I use the second sim for business so really need the ability to decide which sim to call from during the day. Thanks for your help
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
I don't know what module you installed, I linked you to the zip with Google Dialer framework, I didn't say anything about Magisk.

I'm on AOSP based ROM with GApps atm, so I don't have to flash framework anymore, but when I was on OOS 3.5.4, then after flashing framework and installing Dialer apk from apkmirror, everything worked flawlessly.

Maybe try to do it again - reflash your ROM, flash dialer framework, remove opincallui, install Google Dialer app, set as default, set default sim for calls to always ask.

The choice of which sim to use when calling pops up after dialing a number. The dialer has no buttons for each sim separated.

If you don't want to use Google's dialer, then you can use OnePlus' one. IIRC, after removing opincallui, it still worked.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] izzyfanto:
Oh ok thanks for the pointers I really appreciate it. I'll have to give it a try again :svetius:
[P8lite Accessories] Ahmedoov:
About the antenna connector. It's strange but p8 lite don't have any of those things so there isn't any thing to replace, check this out if you want

https://youtu.be/goz4hDW1UeQ
[P8lite Accessories] TheOldMan:
Thanks for Sharing this Information with us.? I wanted to buy this, but now I won't.
[P8lite Accessories] Radias:
These connectors are for production testing and not intended for customer use. They have a switching blade inside that disconnects the pcb antenna and route the line from the transceiver to the center contact. This switch is not made for multiple actions and can be broken easily. The result will be: No connection to existing antenna = less signal.

With no or an out-of-specs antenna the TX PA may be operated in unspecified SWR and power rating, soon blowing it, not to mention possible EIRP excess and so on.

Another problem is the RX LNA are usually not ESD proof. Touch of death. No signal.

So homemade wire antennas are not a good idea.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] peterh337:
On my S6, when it was rooted, OTA updates and all OTA notifications disappeared immediately.

But not the same on the S7. Admittedly I rooted it *after* the android v7 OTA update started appearing.

Now I see it in two places:

1) Under Settings it says Software update - tap here to update the firmware...

2) In the pulldown notification panel I see Software Update - download failed

What is the procedure for cleaning all this up? I am a hardware/software developer. I have e.g. Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, MyBackupPro, Disable Service... I have googled all over the place and found various things but none of them appear on my phone.

Actually I am not sure it is trying to download the updates. It may just be popping up the "failed" notifications.

I did clear the cache partition (power+home+vol up) but that didn't remove the nags and the failed update notifications.

I would really appreciate some help. Android 6.0.1.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Try clearing data from the software update apps in Settings > Apps > 3 dots top right menu > Show system apps > Software update (There are two) > Storage > Clear Data

If you cleared the cache already, you can hit the "Install update" button and it will fail as you already deleted the system update file
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] peterh337:
Thank you.

I cleared the storage for the first app, and the clearing buttons for the 2nd one were greyed-out.

The nags are still there. This time I have done screenshots:

What concerns me about the last one is that if I select Download it will probably download the OTA update and apply it, wiping out the root.

Incidentally, the Android Pay app still starts up, which isn't supposed to work after a root :) I have read about some root methods which preserve this but the procedures were complicated and I didn't apply it AFAIK. I used these:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
OTA shouldn't download if you are rooted, it will fail

Are you definitely rooted? That's an old version of ODIN, should be using 3.12.3 or newer, I've not rooted mine but from what I hear *(Could be Nougat only) CF Auto root doesn't work, needs SuperSU zip flashed from TWRP

But like I say I haven't rooted so am not up to date with what does and doesn't work atm

Worst comes to worst, you flash Marshmallow stock ROM again and start fresh if it does update you to Nougat

There is root for Nougat too btw (Which model S7?)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] peterh337:
Root Checker reports rooted OK. Root Explorer sees everything. So it does appear to be rooted, in the traditional sense. Titanium Backup also works as it normally does on a rooted phone (I also have a rooted S6 v5 and T705 v4.4.2).

The reason I didn't update the OS is because I have loads of apps installed and I don't want to lose the config. I haven't been able to find out what exactly disappears but there are widespread reports of the update losing lots of app config.

Do you think I should try the download and maybe that will fail and clear the nags?

The S7 is a UK official stock one, SM-G930F 6.0.1 G930FXXU1BPJJ.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] peterh337:
Since I know how to wipe the cache, I thought it should be safe to download the update. Even though the phone is rooted, that did work! So I downloaded the 1.2GB and then wiped the cache partition. But the two nags (the one appearing under Settings, every time the app is started) and this one which appears when I click on the nag in the pulldown list (apologies for not using the correct terminology):

are still there.

What will be interesting is whether the big popup nag (which has been appearing many times each day, with the frequency increasing recently) will disappear. I have not seen it yet this morning...

Surely, on a rooted phone, one can drop in some file(s), or rename some files, to block the updates? There is a ton of stuff on this for previous android versions online but as usual most of it doesn't work on this phone - the files are usually missing.

EDIT: it must also be possible to set up a "lmhosts" file which blocks the Samsung update server domain. I found this

https://www.howtogeek.com/140576/how-to-edit-the-hosts-file-on-android-and-block-web-sites/

and it seems very simple. I just need to find out the domain :) The hosts file is under /system/etc. It contains just

127.0.0.1 localhost

::1 ip6-localhost

Also, this

https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/

suggests that renaming e.g. otacerts.zip would stop OTA. I have renamed it to otacerts.zip-bak and that has done something. The above screenshot still appears but after about 10 seconds! This is of little use so I renamed it back. I suspect that messing with the certificates file just prevents the update installing, but doesn't prevent the nag and the download.
