[Samsung Gear 2] BenGman:
IR refers to the Infra Red remote control on the Watch. I have stock Tizen running on my Gear 2 so I want to use the Infra Red remote on the watch.

I see my local phone stores have the Note8 on display for customers to demo. I will carry the watch to the store and see if it could pair successfully to their Notes and I can see notifications. Hopefully I can signin to my Samsung Account from the demo phones in the store... and hopefully I can remove everything after.
[Samsung Gear 2] rabilancia:
Yes, I had forgotten about the IR function and app on the Gear 2 as I don't use it. The Note 8 does not have any IR functionality, but I can't imagine that the Note 8 will in anyway interfere with that functionality on the Gear 2.

Yes, the Gear 2 is dated. However, it's the camera and it's convenience (especially when traveling) that keeps me hanging on to it!
[Samsung Gear 2] samandhi:
I have the Gear 2 and the Note 8 phone, and can say they do pair just fine. Most of the watches functionality works as normal, but since the Note 8 phone has Bixby, and not S voice, no voice input on the watch works at all. This is just Samsung abandoning their tech like always, because the S2, and S3 got updated to work with S voice onboard the watch, because of the lack of the app on the phone.
[Samsung Gear 2] thetechkid:
I have a rooted gear 2 that I had been using with my LG G4, I just got an unlocked Note 8 and I have been having trouble pairing it. I've been trying to do it through the Android Wear app, should I reset it and try again through the Samsung software?
[Samsung Gear 2] rabilancia:
Not sure if you're running Android or Tizen. I upgraded to Tizen when it became available from Samsung.

Never tried to pair with the Android Wear app. However, when you pair the watch with a new phone you have no choice but to factory reset the watch.
[Samsung Gear 2] thetechkid:
I'm using Tizen, however my phone doesn't see the watch at all and neither does the gear 2 see the note.
[Samsung Gear 2] rabilancia:
Here's what worked for me:

1. Install the Samsung Gear app on the Note 8

2. Enable Bluetooth on the Note 8

3. Startup the Gear app on the Note 8 and begin the pairing process by selecting "Connect new Gear"

4. Factory reset the Gear 2 and wait for it to finish resetting.

5. You may need to restart the pairing process in the Note 8 Gear app if it takes too long.

Good luck.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] julio2207:
Hey everyone, I have tried every 8.0 rom available for our beloved xiaomi mi6. Miui Camera is not working in any of them. (Keeps crashing, even with all permissions set). Anyone knows why, or have a fix? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] simpbrackets:
I forgot to make a backup of the file before messing with it. I think the permissions are the same as generic.kl, which is -rw-r--r--, but I'm not sure. Every other file looks like this is the case. Thank you.

I hope anyone else messing with a S5 from AT&T also finds a raw copy of the file useful since I couldn't find it anywhere on the net.

I am a noob at smart phones to say the least

. I come from a background of rebuilding Microsoft soft computers since 1995. To be more specific I was into building and tweaking the software rather than the hardware and my wife gave me this Samsung phone for my birthday Sm-S727vL and I've been trying to root it for about 10 days now. But what may make my situation a little trickier is that I am trying to root without a PC because my granddaughter broke the screen on my HP laptop so I am trying to do this all on my phone and tried all of the one click methods posted online more than once. any help would be much appreciated!!!

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oesjmr:
I've been out of the ROMing game on the V500 for quite a while. I last flashed a pre-rooted stock ROM back in 2015 when Lollipop was released. I would like to update to the latest version of Lineage OS. I currently have a "bumped" version of TWRP installed, 2.8.6.0. I believe the bump is so it passes the bootloader check when the device is powered on. Is it safe to update TWRP to 3.1.1.0 using TWRP's official app or will this cause problems since it isn't bumped? Is it even necessary to update to the newest version of TWRP to flash LineageOS?

I looked around in the threads and saw posts about installing TWRP from scratch, but nothing about updating TWRP or a "bumped" version of the newer version of TWRP.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fullmetal Jun:
Download twrp (credits: fefiform) from here: https://dl.twrp.me/v500/

Install it using flashify or your current twrp by installing the image. Don't use twrp app since some users often get bugs with it

No need for bump since v500 is already unlocked

I suggest to try crdroid since lineageOS has battery problems & bugs like WiFi
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DOTC:
I recently got a V30 to play around with and I have my M9 OFF sitting on my bookshelf, but every morning, my alarm goes off on it. It's turning itself back on for what I'm assuming is the alarm because the battery life is still good. Cool feature if you phone shuts off for some reason, but I got a feeling its more a bug than anything else. It also means the phone isn't really shutting down 100% which I find odd. Anyone else happen to notice this?

I use Bluetooth mainly so I'm not sure if this has been an issue or not, but phone calls on the front speaker almost sound like the speaker is blown, but while playing games or listening to music the speaker sounds just fine. I'm at a loss on that one. It's not terrible, it just sounds off.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] justthefacts:
Do you plug in your phone when you go to sleep? Thats the only thing I can think of. The speaker issue, could it be a carrier issue? Maybe the mate has got jealous of the V30.

By the way how do you compare the two phones (other than the V30 DAC power)?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DOTC:
The M9 is unplugged and sitting on my bookshelf. When it does start back up on its own, it must be right before the alarm because the battery is usually only a few % down from the last time it started up on its own.

I doubt the speaker is carrier based, but it maybe a bad signal just causing the speaker to vibrate, but.. I've never really had that issue with any other non-tmo phone.

The phones aren't even the same if you ask me. The Mate 9 still has my heart, but there are somethings about the V30 that work better and some not. I could probably write a small novel about the things I love and hate about the M9, but I'm guessing I'll fire it back up sooner than later. If I need to RMA because of the speaker, at least I have the V30 to keep me going.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] justthefacts:
If you got the V30 up and running, Have you done a factory reset on the mate?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DOTC:
Havent seen a reason too.. the Mate 9 starting up on it's own has to be because of the alarm, but I'm not sure if anyone else noticed the behavior. The speaker thing is hardware or maybe thats just how it sounds and I'm not used to it. I was hoping the Oero update would show up soon, I planned on resetting it then.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] hoolahoous:
i just upgraded to opentouch 3.0 slimline from 2.7 biggy.

Here are things which I am looking for

1) when someone calls me, earlier I used to get a full screen picture id with two nice fat finger friendly buttons to accept or reject the call. With new slimline 3.0 i get 1/3 screen text notification kind of message. How can I get full screen picture id notification. i presume I have install some app. Can anyone help me find that cab.

2) when talking I would like the screen to be on so that I can do other things like (get to keyboard etc.) In opentouch 2.7 biggy, there was an option to keep the backlight on while on call. In 3.0 I couldn't find it. Maybe someone can help me find that setting or app.

Open touch is a great ROM. I can't wait till 4.0 !!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] mv3:
1) I'm assuming you were using S2U2, just reinstall it.

2) Sorry, I can't help you with that.. :-(

Never used 3.0 and am now using MV-Rom 4.2..hehe
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] hoolahoous:
Thanks for pointing that out.

yes biggy version had S2U2. However I am not too big fan of the sliding. Maybe I have to live without full screen caller id.

I am still looking for disabling the screen-off during call
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] madmak:
You can still use the Full screen caller id and disable screen off during call without using the slide to unlock feature. just uncheck slide to unlock in S2U2 settings
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freekystar:
Hey,

I want to completely wipe my Samsung S6 before I sell it/giver it away, so that when the new user won't find anything when they scan the device for deleted files.

What's the best way to achieve this?

I figured Encrypting my device and doing a factory reset or wipe within TWRP would suffice, but does it? Has anybody achieved a completely clean device and how?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Horgyboy:
IShredder works for me.. Or just do it oldschool.. Delete and factory reset. Stuff your phone with crap files to overwrite old files and do that as many times as you feel safe and done.. And if you want to experiment with it try to use some recovery software after to see if you got rid of everything :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freekystar:
I think that only works for traditional hard drives rather than on flash memory (SSD/NAND) -- It would seem to me encrypting and factory reset/full wipe in TWRP would work better.

Installing stock firmware encrypts the phone, factory reset/full wipe to completely wipe the data including the key that unlocks the data and doing that another time would probably make data inaccessible especially after a time of use.

AFAIK custom roms are usually not encrypted to allow root to be installed.

I could be wrong however... Has anybody got experience using this method?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliemarie:
The phone needs to be encrypted first before performing a factory reset. Factory reset will make it look like all data has been deleted but actually personal info like photos, texts, emails etc will still be stored in memory and just marked as deleted. This means they can be quite easily restored if someone decides to use a data recovery tool on your phone once it's out of your hands. Both data encryption and factory reset can be done easily from the phone's settings. Data encryption is in the Lock Screen and Security section. Reset can also be done remotely from the findmymobile.samsung website
[General Questions and Answers] quinstar:
Hello all,

it's been a long time since I've been here.

I used the search function, but didn't find any relevant topics.

I'm starting a second business. It's an online business for which I'm buying a second Sim card and a dual sim phone.

I'm trying to figure out whether a phone or an app can automatically limit the card (and ringsound) to business hours.

I have an irregular sleeping pattern, so I might be asleep during business hours, but I want to still be available for my possible customers for as long as I don't have a customer service set up yet.

Sound of my regular card could be off while the second card should be on during business hours. Out of the business hours the card should be silenced or off, depending on my preference.

Does anyone know of such a program or phone?

Any and all info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Watz up Note 8 community. Happy to say i picked up my Note 8 yesterday and do to my hectic work schedule haven't had a chance to root it yet but will definitely this weekend. Some of you probably remember me from creating the Stereo Speaker mod for various phones in the past, Nexus, S5, Note 3, 4, 5, Edge, 1 plus and so on. Would love to do it here for the Note 8 but i need someone to post the mixerpaths file for me and be willing to test my changes until i can root.

Once we get it working 100% ill create a bunch of various volume zips to flash and a return to stock zip as always in this thread. For now you will have to save your original file and side load the modded one. If your interested please post it here for me to download.

Obviously the only prerequisite is that you be rooted and willing to post your file. If you dont want to test thats ok too i will post the modded file here for anyone to test. Thank you.

So, since the past few days my i9300 keeps randomly rebooting. At first it was not that much of an issue but today it started to go into a boot loop.

Sometimes it finishes booting but before I can go into the settings to factory reset it, it crashes.

I also tried to get into TWRP but as soon as the logo shows up, it crashes.

I can't even use the download mode because, guess what happens: it crashes.

I really don't know what to do right now. I still have a spare motherboard but I'm not able to access it for another week. It would be a shame to throw away a perfectly fine motherboard if it is just a software thing.

Currently it is running the last version of SlimKAT that was released, I don't know which version of TWRP it is running, but I updated it just a few weeks ago. It is not using the original battery fom Samsung but one from Anker which should be fine.

If anyone needs more or specific information, I'm more than happy to provide it.
