[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallywalters:
I can use ES File Explorer and other third-party file managers to copy files onto micro SD cards in my Kindle Fire HD 8, but not to remove, delete or rename them later. I assume this is some kind of permissions issue. Is there any way to remove this restriction without rooting? (Using the Kindle's internal method of going through "Storage" in Settings to do rudimentary file management is inadequate.)

Campaign to Save Widgetlocker!!

I know kevin@TeslaCoil is busy with quite possibly the best Android launcher out there: Nova Launcher.

But no other customizable lockscreen alternative exists for Android other than his Widgetlocker.

And it is not supported past Android 4.4.

So I am going to show you the workaround I use to make Widgetlocker work on Android, 5, 6, and 7.

But also I’m hoping to drum up support to encourage Kevin to either officially develop it further, or pass it on to the XDA community so someone else can.

*Please Kevin, I asked you on Twitter and you said you would not be moving forward with it.

But I’m hoping you will change your mind or pass your fantastic app! J

How to use Widgetlocker on Android, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

First, this is not a perfect method, it’s really an imperfect workaround.

So many features won’t work, but some do.

The basic premise is, you have to use an android 4 phone to customize widgetlocker the way you want it first.

Then you will do a backup.

Install widgetlocker on your Android, 5, 6, 7, or 8 phone

Then copy the backup from the 4 for to your new phone.

Then when you restore it on your new phone you have to check the box that says “restore widgets automatically”.

Then when you restore it you can tap one widget to start the restore process, and the rest will follow automatically.

Again, many things won’t work and/or crash. But this has worked for me.

So unless someone else can post a lockscreen replacement that allows full customization (any icon or widget anywhere on the screen), then I’m hoping that this one can receive further development.

Please complete the survey above to help this happen!

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Lebatman:
Hi is there any way to granularly control which app can access the net (wifi/data)? In particular the following things:

1. Allow data access

2. Allow wifi access

There seems to be a default option to do this in the Oneplus 3T.

But there's nothing like that on my LG V20.

I'd much rather not install any additional apps to do something an OS should automatically have user controls for, but if there's no other way, I'd have to install a firewall.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mooshwa:
Does anybody know how to improve the tilt's Wifi Range? I have to be practically sitting on top of my router for wifi to work. I literally go behind a wall, or over 20 feet away, and I can't connect.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bapssystupr3m3:
hmm i dun seem to have that problem i have my router set in the basement and i'm in my room on the top floor...two levels up and i dont have any problem connecting
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] plchan:
I had the similar issue. I believe it might be the router issue. I had to set the router to use different channel. After I did that, it seems connecting without issue.

However, previously, I could connect my other wireless devices when I was far away from the router. However, it does not work well with tilt thou.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DarkDvr:
no issues here, excellent range and speed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Gpx85:
move the slider in the "battery saving - better performance" to "better performance" (dunno how they're called in the English roms but the idea is clear) in the wifi options and it should improve
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Brickmen:
you can increase the power in the "Wireless LAN" (in settings/connections) and go to the "power mode" and drag it to max performance (you'll loose some battery life).

Otherwise try reseating the router to a more central area, and move any microwaves and cordless phones that are close to it. Or get a better router.

(soz i have just repeated what Gpx85 just said as he posted just before me)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mooshwa:
I think I will try the "Router Channel" issue. That sounds promising, as the other stuff I have already attempted.

Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] plchan:
Actually, I also did to reseat my router and increased the performance from WMob.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jozer99:
The range isn't as good as a laptop with integrated antenna. This is to be expected, as the Kaiser has a smaller, lower gain antenna. About 40 feet away through one floor and a couple of walls I get 1-2 bars, vs 2-3 from my Laptop with Intel a/b/g wireless.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z.coniglietti:
I installed the official nougat xposed and after that I am. Not able to install updates, new apps, apks. Nothing. It gives me an 504 error. I know it from a long time ago when playstore starts tripping just clean data an cache. But here nothing works. I can't reinstall playstore when I uninstall it (duh). Either way when I remove xposed everything works fine. Anyone having the same problems?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivailli23k:
Similar ((LG k20)).

Yes, absolutely

This is my issue, too - spent all day trying to work a fix.

Nougat 88.1, long bootup finally works, but eventually corrupts everything!

No app installable, and ((-504)) which is DIFFERENT than the 504 mentioned, it is with a dash before. Something about UID file change.. but no avail?

Someone suggested they simply disable Xposed, reboot - then install apps, to reboot & re-enable Xposed again.. but!

I have no idea what to do. Using SuperSU.

I would try Magisk, but I can't do that now.

What shall we do? Seems a standard 88 issue?

months ago I upgraded to Sense 6 and 7.17.1540.51 (Lollipop), I did it manually using RUU.exe file RUU_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_7.17.1540.51.exe, and it was great for quite sometime until suddenly my device got frozen and I had to reboot it using the normal method, only to find the following:

- Notification Bar went missing and inactive. (this is the most awkward problem to me, because I have never found anyone to have this issue on the internet, they only mention that they can't pull the notification bar; but my case is different, I can't see or pull the notification bar! like the margin is deleted or something)

- Device is too hot.

- System unresponsiveness, crashes, and instability.

- Phone gets completely frozen every time I receive a phone call.

- Both Cameras are permanently not working properly as both showing black screen, and automatically close each time I open the Camera App.

- Application crashes (Viber isn't working).

- Draining Battery.

... and more. :crying:

I have assumed a factory reset would fix the problem, but it didn't and I was stuck in this unusable state of system.. confused about whether it's a hardware issue or a software issue; until I managed to downgrade Android back to 5.xxxxxx (Kitkat) and this fixed like 90% of all system disasters I mentioned above (except for the Cameras and some apps); I even received OTA and I could update android normally as much as I don't get to Sense 6 even the official!

in a nutshell, I'm currently caught up between two tough options:

- either to stay on Kitkat (Sense 5 or below) and have a nearly usable phone.

- or Update to Lollipop (Sense 6) and have an impossible-to-use phone.

I trust you can help me determine whether I'm out of options or I'm just doing something wrong before I decide to buy a new phone and call it a dead-end.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] jmathew86:
Hi everyone

I’m kinda puzzled with this note 8 and need some advice. Recently got a note 8 from AT&T and since I was traveling I had it unlocked to use by a third party company ( since att doesn’t unlock until Device payment is complete)

I got the code, unlocked the phone successfully. Before I left USA I put a working T-Mobile sim to test if connectivity, no luck, it doesn’t work, I tried a Verizon sim, nothing works....

Note... this T-Mobile sim and Verizon sim if I put it on a different device it will work...

any reason why this is happening
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
The phone is not unlocked. Seems like an error happened when you got the unlock code. I'd try again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] RossTeagan:
Did you use this device on the att network? I mean, do you have it activated?

If you unlocked it by codes and the message after inserting the code is something like "unlock successfull" then your device must accept other GSM SIM cards.

Also, I would recommend you place a 5 min call with your device, with the att sim card and then insert again the tmob card.

What is the message when you insert the tmobile card in this device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] de2000:
I did the same thing by using a Tmobile SIM during the unlocking process, and it worked on TMobile right after I unlocked it. It sounded like you did not unlock it using a different network SIM but using some other method. I am not sure if that mattered or not.

I then traveled to Asia, and I bought and used a local SIM card with zero issues. The 4G LTE was faster in that country than AT&T... LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bounti:
Hey all,

I was considering getting a Note 8 later in the year, but had my eye on the 128gb variant from Amazon (check link below)...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0761TV2MB/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3IWU819C03265

Thing is, I'm a user who doesn't like to keep things completely stock. At some point, I'd like to install a custom recovery and flash a custom rom. I know Samsung phones are a paradox as usually one certain variant of their phones get support from the modding community (due to unlockable bootloaders, poor availability,etc). Should I stick to the vanilla 64gb model as it will most likely have the most support, or would the aforementioned version of this phone be supported too?

PS. Yes I know it may be hard to tell so soon in the phone's life-cycle, but maybe someone can say if this variant is rootable or not.

Hello community,

I have following question: Is there a tool, which I can use to activate a paired headset by command line switch (so I can set a .lnk to it and activate by tools like AE or "User Menu"?

Following background: I have three paired headsets (all with headsets and two of them with A2DP profile) (1. car, 2. my HT820 headset and a 3. BT speaker set for "public" listening). When I need to activate one of them I need to go into the BT tool, chose a headset, and activate it as BT headset to listen to music.

Well this is annoying. I want to do this by invoking i.e. Mortscript, which activates the headset as A2DP and start my player (or just by pressing any iconized .lnk to activate one of them)

Any chance or idea how to do that?

Thanks to all

A fine day suddenly i wasnt able to hear people talking on phone but they can hear me clearly plus I can't play music but the notification tones and ringtones( when someone calls) are working fine. Google assisstant isnt able to catch my voice so i guess there's some problem with the microphone as well.

Help!!:confused:
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsquareX:
This is a headphone jack related motherboard IC problem. I'm too facing it. You can check this by enabling the headphone jack icon in system UI tuner. What happens is, the phone feels that the headphones are plugged in to the phone while actually they are not. So it keeps playing media via the headphones(assuming headphones are plugged in.) You can also verify this during a call, your screen won't go black while you are in call and you wont be hearing the other person unless and until you enable the speaker.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amans2274:
So any wayout?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsquareX:
As of now, changing the motherboard is the only solution that I see.

I sent it to a local repairing shop and these are all that he had tried:

1. Day 1: He removed the headphone jack completely assuming that the jack has been gone bad. Used the phone without headphone jack for abt 2-3 days but still the problem kept on arising.

2. Day 4: He reinstalled the same headphone jack but disabled the connection between the jack and the ICs on the motherboard. That didn't solved the problem either.

3. Day 7: I asked him to enable the connection again and since then using the phone as it is. Sometimes it gets solved on its own and sometimes the problem keeps arising.

But get confirmed if its the same problem as mine that you are facing. If you are in warranty, you don't need to worry, service center will fix it for free.
