LOL, fastboot flash stock boot, system, vendor.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coremania:
Btw, if you're flashing to test some custom kernels you should have always the original boot.img from the

rom you're using on your sdcard. First flash the boot.img before you flash the next custom kernel, and don't flash a custom kernel over the next custom kernel.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrb1985:
Do you guys mean my backed up boot? Or should I download this files from somewhere?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coremania:
If you backuped the original with TWRP, you can use it.

Otherwise download your rom, unzip and look for the file.

To solve your WiFi issue u have to dirty or clean flash anyway with TWRP,fastboot or flashfire. Whatever you prefer.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrb1985:
Okay. Yes i backed up the original. I will try it now :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slmklc:
If you are in trouble with wifi drops,slowdowns,disconnections etc in a nutshell if you have unstable wifi try these build.prop tweaks.It works like a charm on my Nexus 5. I was having pretty bad wifi drop/slowdowns

.Always make backup first ;)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most china devices are ship with a blank regulatory domain for wifi. All good wifi chip like broadcom(rk901,903), ralink mediatek, realtek... should work properly as it was wifi dongle for pc but with proper software.... not blank crucial part of code, none of wifi chip is so cleaver to learn himself how to work.

You need to set ro.wifi.channels= in build.prop for things to work properly

US Wi-Fi standards and broadcast channels are limited to 1-11

UK have different regulatory standard for WiFi allow broadcast on channels 1-13

in all rom from china that i know ro.wifi.channels= is always blank here's a major problem to get stable wifi.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

add these to the bottom of your build.prop to increase signal :

persist.cust.tel.eons=1

ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=1
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Mrbinki:
Hi guys! I'm on stock rom Nougat, since i installed magisk i'll always get error when i tried to update my phone from Update setting (samsung things...).

But when i installed Xposed and especially a module known as Firefds which set fake system status to "Official" (it was "Custom"), when i go back to check for a new update i found this (attachement).

So what do you think guys? Should i update? Maybe its November security patch...

But i don't want to lose twrp, magisk and all the stuff !!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] T3chDelicious:
This update didn't includes November patch so far I know. This will be listed in the patch notes for sure.

If you install the OTA update...this will end not well I think. You will running in an unstable system because of root, twrp etc. This update will replace files which are eventually needed and so on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] zzThrain:
I suggest you flash stock rom with odin, then install the update then re-root and re-flash twrp. Yes it is annoying, but its better to be safe than sorry
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Mrbinki:
What about flash this update using FlashFire and keep twrp & magisk? I saw it in many other phones
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] T3chDelicious:
You can of course do so...but my experience is that such methods will not end well. Do it like [MENTION=8466033]zzThrain[/MENTION] wrote it and download firmware from SamMobile with DQJ3 and reflash twrp and re-root to be sure that your system don't come unstable.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] orifori:
Any chance for OTA updates with Magisk only (without Xposed, etc.)?

If there is no chance - is there a place to download only monthly security updates - since full firmware versions (found at sammobile) are at least 10x times larger than the monthly updates?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squickly:
Hello. Unfortunately, I have some unpaid bills for my HTC device that I bought from my carrier, and we're bound by contract, so they locked my sim card, and now I can't call and recieve calls. If I root my phone, can I remove this blockade, so that I can use other SIM cards from other carriers? I assume there's some hidden software that allows them to block my phone from networks?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanosapostolopoulos:
as i understand they block you number not the device.

if you have try other sim cards and they don't work what i can think is that they block the device with the IMEI but this happen after request of client if the phone get stolen.

if they do that to you and block the IMEI dude change country :laugh:

but for sure the block the sim card. so pay the bills to use that number again
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squickly:
It's actually deviced blocked from using any sim cards, and after unpaid bills they blocked the sim card aswell. And as I understand, there's probably some software inside a phone that is not visible, or as you said IMEI is blocked, can that be unblocked by rooting the phone? Yeah, well, I will not pay them bills for now, I'm just trying a way to remove this blockade so I can use another sim card and have network.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanosapostolopoulos:
thats why i asked you if you have already tried another sim card. if others sim cards works then they block only the sim card, which is more common thing they do. if they block the imei which isnt software is a unick id for this device , then rooting the phone can help to change the imei with imei of another old device you have but this is very tricky if you dont know how to do it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squickly:
Yes, I have tried another sim card... and when you buy a phone with a contract through a carrier, it lasts 2 years, and in those 2 years you can't use another sim card, just the one from their network. So, yeah, they blocked IMEI then. Now I just wish I knew how to root the device and change the imei. You know any good guides for it?

edit: There is some online service specially for HTC phones unlock, they said they can remove this blockade with the code they send me. But I'm afraid to not waste money if the code won't remove it. Because they told me they're making official network unlock on HTC server, not on my local server, so official factory permanent unlock.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanosapostolopoulos:
I don't trust those services. as for root here at xda there are programs to root your phone instead of change rom. as kingroot. also at YouTube are videos how to change imei. I haven't try them. so be carefull when you do that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squickly:
I have checked if my IMEI is blacklisted, and it's not, it's clean... so only SIM card of my carrier is locked then. Because when I insert SIM card it says "SIM card is locked", and when I insert SIM card from another carrier it says "Network is locked".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanosapostolopoulos:
I think is easier to unlock the network. but again I don't know how. never happend to me and I answer you after my research. practical I haven't try any of methods that are around the internet.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcassar:
Hi Guys,

I need your expertise.. .. I have purchased an app which works on android from a private company (not on play store). Some time later a client dropped some beer on the device; the device still works but the power and volume buttons are getting stuck. I asked the software developers to change device but they refused, stating that I need to buy a new licence if I want to use a different device. I see this as unfair as they could easily give me a new licence and factory reset the old one but they still won't accept so I decided to try and move the app myself. Could anyone tell me where android stores the 'unlocked' files, as I have managed to move the app itself but it asks me for a serial code...

Thanks,

Robert

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monzer_:
Hello , I usually change my phone every 2-4 years I'm not looking for the latest tech or anything . Lately I was considering the Galaxy S 7 , Note 5 , LG G6 but the one without dac and wireless charge .

the note 5 is 2015 you know so should I really consider it over the other 2 ? what would I miss getting the note 5 over the S7 ?

one last thing anyone know good sellers on ebay selling new note 5 most of the seller I read in the reviews its refurbished advertised as new .

also you want to recommend a phone within that league would be great .
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluegizmo83:
I'd also throw a Nexus 6p into that mix of good possible devices. Just make sure if it's a Nexus 6p you get one that has been refurbished or has at least had a new battery installed in it because tons of 6p's had early battery shutdowns due to defective batteries. But other than that it's an excellent device, it's still my daily driver, and you can pick them up for even cheaper than a used Note 5.

I did however just order a Note 5 from eBay, should be here Monday. I've never owned a Samsung device, I've always been a Nexus user, but I've been thinking about upgraded soon and I was thinking maybe a Note 8. But since I've never owned a Note device I'm just not sure if I'll actually use the Spen, and if I don't then I might as well save some money and just buy an S8+. So, basically I bought a Note 5 to use for a while and see if I'll use the Spen. Then later I'll sell both my 6p and Note 5 and either buy an S8+ or Note 8.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
How do you know the Note 5 battery is good in the one you are buying? From what I've heard only factory refurbished devices get their battery changed. Other eBay sellers claim seller refurbished they just check the device that it works.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluegizmo83:
I assume you mean how do you know the Nexus 6P battery is good (I'm not aware of any battery issues with the note 5). I'd only buy a Nexus 6p from someone on eBay that can provide some kind of proof the battery was replaced (like a receipt for a new battery). If they can't provide proof, then you should be paying $50+ below value for it which would cover the cost of a repair shop replacing the battery.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
I don't think there was any battery issues with the Note 5 , but I was making my reference about the refurbed or used Note 5 that you were buying having a fresh battery or not. After all the devices are two years old now and folks are changing their batteries of their note 5 I've read already.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluegizmo83:
Oh ok. Yeah that's a little tricky, this note 5 I bough is only down about 20% of it's capacity (originally new supposed to be 3000mah and currently only shows 2350mah in Accubattery health status after several charges). If your lucky the seller will be able to show you some Accubattery screenshots of the battery health after a few charging cycles. Otherwise it's just kind of the luck of the draw.

Hello. I was just using my Fire tablet normally. I opened up the YouTube app and I clicked on the subscription section then my Fire screen turned white all of a sudden. I forced shutdown, let it sit, removed the SD card and tried to charge it and it still is just a white screen. I connected the Fire to my computer (Kubuntu 16.04 LTS) and it would show up but I couldn't pull my files off of it. ADB doesn't work either. My device was never opened, I have not rooted it or installed a ROM onto it, I installed Google Play on it, I disabled OTA updates, and I installed Nova Launcher with widgets.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will9183:
it's out of warranty. Anything I could do myself?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Unlikely unless skilled in electronics diagnostics. Sourcing a replacement part would be the next challenge assuming you could identify the culprit. Most just purchase a used device with a cracked screen from eBay and start swapping components. Alternatively, look for a replacement at Amazon Warehouse. You can often find refurbs for about 60% the cost of a new one.

TIA

You mean the always on dim display thing? They said it moves around to avoid that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Well the pixels displaying your time and notifications are on while the rest of the screen is off. There's the possibility for uneven wear, but I doubt it would ever show or you would never notice it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] obsanity:
It still does wear pixels unevenly but the amount of time it would need with it being moved every minute in a zigzag pattern makes it pass the burn-in concern. I'd say if you use your phone normally you'd see something show up in 1-2 years. However, if you leave your phone under a bright light for long periods of time you might want to disable always on display feature.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] scottjal:
If you are worried about it put the phone face down. The prox sensor turns it off.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androbabby:
Hi all,

I want to prevent certain apps from accessing my work Wi-Fi, mostly so my employer can't see what I'm doing. Specifically, I don't want to be connected to my employer's Wi-Fi while on Facebook, Evernote, etc.

For some other apps, I still want to use Wi-Fi to save data.

I just installed Tasker and have already a Task set up to shut off Wi-Fi for these apps. My question is: is this really secure? Does anyone think this will prevent my employer from seeing what's on my Facebook, or is there a flaw I'm not thinking of?

Ex: maybe Tasker has a delay which will allow my employer to see Facebook load anyway.

Alternatively, if anyone knows a more efficient way of doing this (in Tasker or anywhere else in Android) that'd be great.

Thanks

Question your boss is a hacker?

Because if he isn't he can't see anything in theory because he doesn't know how.

But you can use vpn connection as Hotspot Shield

so your traffic inside that network and all over the internet is encrypted.

You can also use "Firewall" for that.Firewall apps that they stop apps that you choose from getting access to internet.

if you aren't rooted try this one NoRoot Data Firewall . it use VPN

connection. So this vpn connection is local and when the blocked app tries to connect the internet it just get the localhost ip as gateway . the other apps continue to work normally.

if you are rooted try this one AFWall+ (Android Firewall +)

depends on your needs of course.

I got a Google home mini about two wks ago to play with it side by side with the Alexa echo I have had for quite sometime now. Have 3 out those.

I use the echo to control a number of switches throughout the house and a fan in my office. It does that well, but it's search is pretty lame, used Bing.
