Ive been using Wickr they seem to be more secure than a regular text messages at least, I hope maybe. They say in their disclosure they dont keep any messages on the servers they use but its stiil the end users device thats the weak point. Lately wickr has been updating alot, which seems to be another term for uploading. idk i may be way off.

I found my rooted Nexus 6 had directories that were hard to get to containing screenshots of my phone taken randomly during a 24 hour time frame and zipped. Also simply watching the logcat it was uploading files regularly, dropbox and I cant find much about it but the Sahara protocol was what seemed to be querying uploads.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonCubed132:
Hi xda,

After changing my phone's system language to French (from English) for a school project, I eventually rebooted my phone and now it is stuck in a boot loop. It keeps getting to a point about 5 seconds in to the blue wave animation, then freezes, and reboots again. I have tried booting it into the USB safe mode (hold Volume Up while plugging it into a computer) and I have tried to boot into recovery using ADB, it says it cannot find the device.

I believe it is running Android 4.4.1, although I cannot check this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenzyyy:
Install adb drivers and download flashtool

From Flashtools folder find drivers folder and run exe

Check fastboot and flashmode and xperia z3 compact drlvers. Install and turn off your phone, find your ftf file select it when it asks to connect your phone hold volume down button and insert usb cable and good luck

I was able to unlock the original Pixel XL and load the Verizon Google image and it booted and ran perfect.

But so far, I have not been able to boot the new Pixel 2 XL Verizon Google image on my unlocked 2XL.

Is this because the bootloader is unlocked?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] darkjedi7:
Works perfectly for me I didn't flash a factory image yet, did you unlock critical before flashing the factory image?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jrbxx7:
As stated probably need to unlock critical. However Verizon works perfectly for me on the factory unlocked xl2 images. HD calling, wifi calling, etc.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] drumst1x:
Why do people seem to think that you need to flash the verizon image? I was under the impression that either device would work, it's just that the VZW device has a locked bootloader, pre-loaded VZW apps, and comes with a SIM. Are there any other changes to the image? Because

1) i don't want a locked bootloader (Thanks VZW)

2) I don't want VZW's garbage apps (Thanks VZW)

3) I alredy have a sim

Am I missing something? I also just unlocked my bootloader, swapped sims, and set up (no flashing whatsoever). My phone seems to work correctly. What am I missing here?

Hopefully this is the correct forum to ask this in...

I'm going crazy with spam callers/robocallers lately, and i would like to block their numbers by area code..

I've googled/youtubed solutions for this and searched here, google/youtube shows me S3's and S5's call settings, which seem to have had a feature to block a number that "starts with" a specific area code in their call settings.. that option does not seem to be on the S8/S8+ ; can anyone tell me if it is just an older feature that's now removed from these newer phones, or if i am missing it somewhere? I've tried a couple of apps as well that are supposed to block numbers by area code and they don't seem to do anything.. just getting incredibly sick of these idiots calling me everyday at the same time and i'm filling up my reject list with their numbers when it seems it should be so much easier to block an area code..

any help would be appreciated.

I have Wifi set to turn off when the phone sleeps. During the evening, that usually results in the Wifi being active for about 30% of the time. Lately, (probably after a recent Google Play Services update), I noticed my Wifi is active 100% of the time. Anyone else notice this?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Sammath:
Lol, just noticed the same thing. For some reason it displays wifi as always on for me as well. Doesn't affect my battery life tho (not noticing it)

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] p51d007:
It's "on" but only connects when in an area where it has already connected before.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] tboooe:
Yes I believe the behavior has not changed. However in my battery apps it's now showing WiFi active all the time. Previously, on would be 100% but active usually 50%. Now it's 100%
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] RossTeagan:
Maybe the app doesn't shut down the wifi connection completely but stops it from sending any data. Maybe the app justs shut down the wifi from ping-ing periodically but keeps the wifi one 100%.

Just my two cents
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] p51d007:
Wifi is on, but doesn't use that much power. It most likely is pinging at time, to see if a previously connected

wifi access point is available. I leave mine on 24/7, and haven't had any battery issues. In fact, with it on all the

time, my battery life is better because if I'm in an area where I've connected to wifi previously, it disables the

4G connection for data, and uses the wifi. Depending on your 4G connection, wifi could save your battery

life, since the amount of power required for the data part of the 4G signal, is dependent on your signal strength.

Low signal strength, more power required to connect.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] tboooe:
Great post thank you! The question is more out of curiosity since this behavior wasnt happening before. BTW, I think I figured out whats going on. In Location Settings, under the 3 dot menu I had Wifi Scanning option turned off. For whatever reason, the option was turned back on. No idea how this can happen but I disabled it again.

I encountered the same issue using Samsung Browser 6. First time I clicked the link it as me to choose Video Player or Download. I didn't choose either & closed the pop up but it defaulted to download anyway. Then anytime I visited the page it would download the mp4. That is pretty annoying.

I also tried resetting app deafult but no matter what I couldn't get that pop up again asking which app to use, I tried clearing app data for Downloads Manager & even freezing it but could never get that pop up to appear again.

I had made a nandroid earlier that day so I restored. This time when I got the pop up I choose Video Player & it would play it instead of downloading. But it wouldn't set as default so everytime I visited the page it would always ask me.

Now I'm using Samsung Browser 7. With 7 it never asked my to choose Video Player or Downloads, it always prompts you asking to save the file. At least it doesn't automatically download it anymore & no need to delete the mp4s everytime you visit the page.

I chose video player when I got the pop up and it streamed it fine. However, upon checking the whole mp4 was still downloaded onto my SD card.

Hey guys n girls,

I'm going to root my phone. First off the why? I recently discovered PlayStation remote play and use it on my computer. I was excited to use it on my phone but then found out only Sony phones work I guess... So I read somewhere don't remember, that if I root my phone, I can add Sony files to rooted phone to allow it to use PlayStation remote.

1st phone is moto x 2nd

2nd phone zte maven 2

First phone I use for an actually phone 2nd one is brand new never used.

So I heard I need to use adb and something else I believe. Can someone help me? Once again main reason PlayStation remote play

First you must unlock bootloader from official motorola site.

First off thanks for your help and anybody else who may contribute.

ive been trying to listen and follow lol. anything with (...) is stuff

i added

First you must unlock bootloader from official motorola site.

Google unlock moto x 2014 and do it.

(the link you added brought my to a page i click next and tryed to sign up

it said i had an account so i signed in with the email on my phone an then it

brought me to a page that wasnt available. So do you have another link or is

there something im missing. im having trouble unlocking it)

Second you must download adb and fastboot to your pc.

(i downloaded

*minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.2_setup application

*motoroladevicemanager_2.5.4 application)

Third with adb flash twrp.

(few things.

*adb is just command prompt right?

*flash? i know means install sorta of. do you have command line?

*the link had three things to click on

1.this was on white screen

58337e4962e12d37f740a417601db4e3 twrp-3.1.1-0-victara.img

2. twrp-3.1.1-0-victara disc /image file

3. twrp-3.1.1-0-victara.img.asc /asc file)

And last flash supersu with tuttorial from xda .

(once again, flash? im assuming i just need command line like,

adb install supersu.apk.

*also files i downloaded were

1. update-supersu-v2.76-20160630161323 /compressed zip

2. root-boot-6.0-xt1097-mpes24.49-18-7 /compressed zip)
