[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] orlans21:
Since 7.0 came to the s7, I have been keeping up with the monthly updates the carriers push out but for the past couple of months I've been getting some terrible kernel wake locks and I've tried everything possible to prevent them but I can't find a solution. So my thought was downgrading to an earlier 7.0 where I didn't have that problem.

Now my question is: Has the bootloader been updated prior to the first 7.0 monthly update (march)? Because I've heard once the bootloader has been updated you can't go downgrade to an earlier bootloader and I've experienced a soft brick on my s7 edge while tried to downgrade to an earlier version of marshmallow and someone told me it was because of an update to the bootloader. The firmware i'm on now is G935W8VLU2BQH1 and I want to go down to G935W8VLU2BQB6 which is the first nougat update (march)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MS420:
Just download rom from sammobile, you will have all the files for downgrading.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] orlans21:
I did that back in December while on 6.0.1 and odin failed then when rebooting I got a software error message
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MS420:
Well, I downgraded from 7.0 to 6.0 but with twrp, so maybe it's not possible via odin, but I flashed many times nougat via odin, from april to february security patch, it always worked..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] orlans21:
So then it's possible. As long as Samsung didn't update the bootloader between March and August then I should be good. Did you include BL in Odin when you downgraded to an earlier security patch?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MS420:
Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] orlans21:
Then they haven't updated it so far. When I wanted to go from 6.0.1 November security patch back to February security patch it failed and the phone went into a softbrick
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MS420:
Well, if you have custom recovery, you can downgrade to 6.0.1 very easy..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] orlans21:
I've chosen not to root this phone so I just have stock recovery

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 白い熊:
Maybe this is really simple, however I can't get it to work: I'm trying to increase the volume of the Note 8 via Viper4Android - I've never used it before.

I've seen a couple of Magisk V4A modules, most prominently this one: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-viper4android-fx-2-5-0-5-t3577058

However it has no loudness effect even when I play with the settings, volume gain etc. Even the EQ doesn't seem to be having any effect...

Am I missing something, need to install something else?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 白い熊:
Apparently it's app—based, the volume of video playback goes up. Only Spotify somehow bypasses V4A and stays quiet, WTF?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 白い熊:
No, wrong impression—no effect even in video playback.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Andysmith71:
Hey just a quick question and sorry if you have already checked, but if you go to settings, is the driver installed and show as 'processing' when you have V4A turned on and video/music playing?

Sorry if that appears as a noob question, I'm only asking as you said you have never used V4A before so it could be something that was missed?

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] louforgiveno:
No, no.....that is actually a Great question....really it's the logical 1st question.

After that comes what output are you using? i.e. Bluetooth or Wired...

In the viper app are you on the tab corresponding to the output you're using?

Then be sure to Enable the 1st setting on that tab to turn on processing (can't remember terminology)

Then fiddle with the settings you wish to manipulate and see now if you can hear the processing.

Also not all apps will work with processing....i always used poweramp to get processing.

Also in phone settings set 'soundalive' to 'normal' (no processing) and if you use poweramp in the settings disable the 'DVC' setting then you should be set.

Good luck...... hope to get root someday so i can run viper myself. (snapdragon)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 白い熊:
Yeah, it's enabled—it is working actually, I've determined by playing with it. I've installed the one from OP and it works, prior to that I was testing the one from the Magisk repo and it wasn't functional.

Just the effect is different, like you say, per app. In one game for example it's massive. In Spotify OTOH it's minimal, still some between the minimum gain setting and maximum, just nothing exceptional.

I did receive these items for review from Choetech. I would have posted a bit earlier but was dealing with Hurricane Irma cleanup and such.

I received a Fast Wireless charging Stand, Model T520, 3 usb cables and the USB C to HDMI adapter.

The charging stand works great. It's square as shown in another review I had the older Samsung fast charger and it's "round" and with some cases, my Note 8 never sat straight. Not an issue with the Choetech unit. It did work with the Samsung Rugged case but as folks know, that case is not certified to work with wireless charging.

The cables, they originally got the most use when my power went out. I plugged them into my battery packs and never lost power to my phone all through the hurricane. :) They are heavy duty braided cables. They look and feel like the Anker brand cables I usually use. Solid and fast charge capable.

The most interesting device I received was the USB C to HDMI adapter that's rated to 4k. I haven't had a chance to play with this yet. According to the information it is supposed to work fine with the Note 8...and many other devices with a usb C port.

If you're seeking affordable and tested cables and charging stand, add Choetech to your list of choices.

Not that it matters to some, but the Charging stand and cables were BLACK in color which matches my black note 8 and my general home office motif. :)

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jpkeates:
I have an o2 Orbit and it's fine (if a little underpowered) except...

-one-

I would like to be able to disable reminders/alarms on the PDA, but still have access to my diary.

I use appointments on Outlook on my PC, and alarms are really useful when I'm working at my desk - but not that helpful when I'm not at my desk.

Moreover, I kill the alarm on my desktop and then have to do the same thing on my PDA to get to a screen I can use.

What I'm looking for is someway to suppress the pop up alarm on the Orbit.

-two-

This is related to the above.

To avoid calling people from inside my briefcase/pocket,

I set the keyboard lock so that I have to turn the unit on with the on switch to do anything.

Other that when the alarm goes off, which brings the device temporarily to life,

and then the buttons spring into life

allowing the slightest movement to dial the last person who called me or I them.

To say this is annoying is to understate things.

I now routinely call voice mail before I travel with the phone,

so that I can at least control who it's going to call.

For those of you who had no issue in rooting and installing TWRP; but then, in trying to debloat the system, managed to soft brick your MetroPCS MP450N Stylo 3 Plus: This guide is for you, it should work for other carriers, but I can't test that.

I spent hours in the attempt to fix this problem. After combing many posts,

HERE IS THE SOLUTION:

Download KDZ file for MP450N (Currently MP45010c_00_0821.kdz) from:

https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-mp450-firmwares/

Download UPPERCUT and LGUP from this post:

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/development/uppercut-lgup-loader-g5-variants-t3511295

Thanks to [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION]

Install LGUP first, it provides functionality for UPPERCUT.

Make Sure Phone is Powered OFF. Holding Volume Up, Plug phone into Computer Via USB, it will boot into Download mode.

Extract and Run UPPERCUT

Select your phone in UPPERCUT, Set Process to UPGRADE (Refubish gave me an error).

UPPERCUT shows file type as BIN file, click on the file path and hit the [...] button to open the file selector and pick the KDZ file you downloaded (Currently MP45010c_00_0821.kdz).

Hit Start and Wait. Took maybe 2-3 Minutes.

Congratz you now have a factory restored phone.

Be more careful next time.

Maybe actually do a TWRP BackUp before deleting system apps.

You now have to start over with Root and TWRP; but hey, that was the easy part wasnt it?

Many Thanks to all members on the forums working to improve our Android experience.

Hello guys!

I have received an Axon 7 ( A2017G ) from a sibling and it has a circular thing glued to the back. I have attached a photo. I think the phone comes from a showroom or something.

Do you guys know if it can be taken off without damaging the back housing or it's part of the housing?

If not, do you know a reliable place where I can buy a back/front housing replacement from? Thanks! :o

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p1977p:
Hi

, I have a 32 GB Nexus 7 2013 (mobile) edition . A few days back it went into continuous reboot mode after an automatic overnight update. I tried to flash the stock factory image (from Google site) (version - razorg-mmb30s-factory-091a2b26 ) but ended up in the DLoader 9008 mode. At present the screen is completely dark, not even a flicker of backlight. I have tried all varieties of key combinations including long Power press (for upto 2 min), Power+Vol Down, Power+Vol Up, Power+Vol Up+Vol Down, etc but no change. It just turns off momentarily and switches on to the same mode which shows up in the Windows Device Manager under ports (COM4) but no there's no disk/storage/Android device entry. I have disconnected the battery and tried everything again but to no avail. I guess the boot image is corrupted. My only hope lies in trying to flash the stock/unbrick image via Qualcomm Qfil tool to somehow restore the bootloader and get the fastboot mode. However that requires the specific firehose 8960 MBN programmer image specific to this tablet which I cannot find anywhere. Can anyone upload these or tell me how to generate them from the Google stock image?

P.S. I have fair experience with linux command line tools too, so a Linux solution would be equally welcome

Thanks in advance. :)

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Dconn1975:
Oh not to worry what so ever my friend. I did not use a hairdryer or heat gun at all during my install. You don't have to have one at all. They say you do but in reality there is no need for it. Be sure to post pics of your set up here on this thread. That being said you can still use a hairdryer if you want when forming around the curves of the camera but I have previous 3m wrap experience so really the hairdryer is not really needed. I look forward to seeing what you got installed. No need to be nervous. Just take your time and it will be easy.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MrT69:
How to use keweon?

It's very easy:

1. Take the DNS Servers

2. Install the keweon Adblock Root Certificate ( <<< THIS IS ONLY A RECOMMENDATION)

3. Change your Internet Router or your Mobile Device to it

4. Reboot (Router and PC)

5. Done! That's it.

6. See the Internet within a never seen way

In the meantime the keweon AdBlock Root Certificate has more than 4 Millions global downloads. This certificate is not required but for a few websites it is mandatory.

This certificate will only surpress the certificate errors. Not all of them because I'm still working on this.

On iOS Devices just open Safari. With Android use the default Browser and go to http://pki.keweon.center and after 3 sec. the download of the certificate will start. JUST THE DOWNLOAD!! You need to install it by yourself. More facts about the keweon Root Certificate will comming soon on the website.

Test the DNS Servers within this List and choose the one which is the fastest for you:

How to use it on Android devices:

Use an App of your choice or use this. I also use this app and from my point of view this is the worldwide best App to change the DNS settings on Android devices. No Root Access is required. The developer is from Germany and I have had a good contact to him. The app is free of charge and also free of advertising. The source code for this app is also available on GitHub. If you have troubles with it or want to have additonal features than contact the developer. He would be happy about every feedback.

How to use it on iOS/Apple devices:

All my iOS Tester using this App. If you have a better one or you are able to translate the Android App to XCode - your welcome.

You are using Chrome and the DNS thing is not working? (thanks a lot [MENTION=8064684]NamitNayan[/MENTION] for this info)

Google wants to prevent Adblocking via DNS. Therefore they have enabled an experimental Switch by default to prevent DNS blocking.
