You generally need/should use odin or heimdall when doing this to avoid a brick. Ask a friend if you can use their comp for a few minutes. If they don't want their desktop cluttered odin is easy about that- and the drivers shouldn't cause an issue.

There should be a thread at the top of the development section that has the files you need. Heck, you could likely do this at a library computer. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] appye:
missing files?

I am getting hung up in the use of heimdall. I downloaded the official 4.4.2 image and extracted it, renamed the resulting tar.md5 to a tar and then extracted it, ending up with a folder with files (listed below). I seem to be missing some of the files mentioned in many of the walkthroughs I am seeing about flashing with heimdall. For example, I am not seeing sbl1.mbn, hidden.img.ext4, or modem.bin. I am currently using the NE1 modem with MF1 firmware as posted by invisiblek here:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1788313

... Should I be installing a complete firmware package along with the factory NE1 image(s)?

Here is a listing of the folder I extracted:

aboot.mbn

boot.img

cache.img.ext4

NON-HLOS.bin

recovery.img

rpm.mbn

sbl2.mbn

sbl3.mbn

system.img.ext4

tz.mbn

... do I need the other files to proceed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] appye:
nevermind ... got it figured out...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] graycow9:
Sorry I didn't get back to you in time, but yeah when using heimdall it needs to be a .tar archive still- the program will do the rest for you :) and I hope I was a little helpful at least. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] appye:
For sure! Thanks. I am now "stuck" on 4.4.2 TW, I went with PaulPizz for no real reason in particular...

Have an SD card, formatted it for the phone. The phone doesnt let me change storage location for pictures taken. Is there an easy way to do this that I overlooked?
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
I would imagine it's in one of three places:

1) In the camera app settings

2) Gallery settings

3) Haven't opened my Razer Phone yet,but,I'd also look in the general phone settings,guessing there's a storage section,perhaps it's there.

Once you do find it,if it's something you frequently access/change,you should be able to create a shortcut to it on your home screen,since Nova Launcher is the default U/I for the home screen(s)/app drawer.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Deleted member 5843740:
1. It's not there.

2. The only gallery pre-installed is google photos, and it's not there either.

3. Not there.

Ive been on chat support with Razer all day. They need to "examine" this in their lab, as this is a huge concern.

They said within a day or 2 someone will be getting back to me.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Do you currently have an SD Card installed?

I don't on the phone I'm using ATM (Note FE) & there's nothing there for storage settings, until an SD Card is installed.

If you have an SD Card installed, then it indeed sounds like someone dropped the ball in the software department....
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Deleted member 5843740:
Yeah very strange...I doubt I'll hear anything from them. I'm surprised an issue this severe isn't being reported by other people.

I've done everything there is to do. factory resetting the phone, formatting the cards, in and outside of the phone. using other camera apps, other galleries...it's like the camera app and the sd slot aren't linked somehow. I switch phones often, and take alot of pictures, and never have any problem transferring the card between phones.

I guess lesson learned with using a debut device. Hopefully theres some kind of software fix soon. otherwise this thing is going back.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] chanter100:
I have no option in the default camera app either to change storage location.. I also have a sd card inserted and formatted correctly as I can access it in other apps just fine.. There literally just isn't any option to choose location!
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Perhaps in the meantime,you can move the photos in the gallery app using a file exploer,or,the SanDisk app.

Not a long-term permanent solution by any means....

........Since this is near-stock Android experience,almost sounds like the photo storage software was ripped from the Pixel twins,as neither have an SD Card slot....
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] iStasis:
On the topic of SD Cards I have a few questions as regarding this. I have been using iOS since the 3GS and new to Android and this would be my 1st Android device.

I am not an app heavy user and have all the apps I use already on the internal storage and running at 17.67GB out of the 58.90GB.

1) Would an SD card be worth buying 256GB Class 10 U1 card to be used to just storage Photos and Videos?

(only reason on size is because I just want the biggest storage on one card rather than on lots of smaller ones.)

2) With unlimited data on my phone is it worth buying an SD Card at all if Google Photos is a thing?

(I dont like the idea of my media just being in the cloud which why im unsure what to do here)
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
An SD Card is more of a nice option in your scenario, but,it's one I'd recommend to have.

However, I'd recommend getting the fastest card you can buy with the same money you're willing to spend on the card you mentioned.

Get a U3 rated card, even if that means a lesser amount of extra storage, quality over quantity......
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] iStasis:
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly I have concerns about the type of card thats best for the phone as Razer's spec site only says it can handle up to Class 10 and when I asked about U1-U3 they kinda didnt mention it at all.

Would a U1 or U3 work in a class 10 supported device and not give the extra read/write performance or will it not work at all?
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
I'd be lying if I said I knew with 100% certainty, but, I'll be putting a Samsung 256 GB SD Card (U3) in my Razer later today & I'll follow up with what I find then/post here in this thread.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] iStasis:
Thanks for testing this for me :) if i dont get any benefit out of the U1-U3 in performance i may just grab a Class 10 as I will want to format it for the device as I don't plan on moving SD cards between devices as I only have two devices using this media and the other is in my Nintendo Switch so again formatted for that device.

With Black Friday coming up Id like to get it sorted soon so i know what to buy.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Deleted member 5843740:
Back on topic please
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
My apologies,back on topic ...... :good:

BTW,I have the unlocked version/carrier-free.

Finally opened mine up,after initial set-up,had a 250MB update out-of-the-box,still nada regarding camera/photo/video storage options.

I found an app in the Google Play Store,Open Camera,that has the option:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en

I tried to enter an alternate file (from my external SD Card) & it wouldn't take.

Looked in developer options,as I'm sure you have already,nothing specific for media/photos,just the adoptable storage option for (non-system) apps.

Just took a look @ Razer Insider/Forums,nothing set up for Razer Phone just yet.

https://insider.razerzone.com/index.php?forums/mobile/

Priorities for users here run the gamut,but,I'd safely guess most here would put fixing this near the top of Razer's priorities for bug fixes/updates.

Having to same issue here. There is a camera app up date coming according to razer so maybe there will be a fix for it in the update
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Portor30:
I guys spoke to razer about this and this is what they said

If the SD card is set to Internal storage, you have the option to migrate all the data. Then the default location of the data will be the SD card including the camera.

Have not tried it yet but will tomorrow
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] wschamps42:
Slightly related, I can't seem to be able to transfer any files to my MicroSD card I've been using on my S8 and have it shown in the phone.... It won't show anything I transfer to it other than a System Volume Information folder that shows up for whatever reason.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] lonetormenter:
Just copy/move your photos to your SD card manually.

Go to Settings>>Storage>>Internal shared storage>>Images.

Select the image you want to move/copy by long pressing the image file icon, tap the three dot menu on the top right, your SD card should show up from the left menu tree. From there, select the directory you want to move to on the SD card and voila.

Hope that helps.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
THX,but,that isn't what were looking for,most here know how to move pix from one spot to another.

We are wanting the option to choose the storage location , before the picture/video is taken,not just moving it afterwards.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Portor30:
hi guys just to let you know how to save direct to sd card

set sd card up for internal storage this is the only way so to save photo taken direct to the sd card tested it tonight and it works the only problem is that the sd card will only work on this phone so it wont be plug and play anymore
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] :
This is false. I had the SD card formatted to be internal storage. I then took a picture with the camera. I went into my file manager and it showed the image saved on the internal memory of the phone, not the SD card which was empty.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Portor30:
It not false as mine is working fine with this set up and it saving photos direct to my sd card.

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------

If you have your sd card set to internal memory take a photo and plug your phone it to you PC and check your self.

Once sd card is set to internal it will only show one memory storage when plug into your pc

Take a photo

Then plug your phone into your pc and check your self you will see your self it will save to your sd card
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] bjevers:
I sent an email to Razer support asking where the option was for saving photos to the SD Card instead of internal memory. This is the reply I received:

"Thank you for contacting us.

Kindly check if the Settings, the Gear icon on the camera software has the Storage Location where you can choose SD Card.

Hope this helps."

Kindly check IF the settings have Storage Location? Do they not even have a phone themselves to check and see that the option is not there?
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] iStasis:
I just ordered a Samsung 256GB Evo Plus U3 (Micro SD) on amazon for £114.92 I am 100% sure I just want to use that as internal storage as I want the data secure and protected. Does this option just add it to the pool of memory so 64GB internal + 256GB Micro SD card (give and take formatting rules) as one drive or does it appear as 2 storage drives?

Sorry if this is slightly off Topic Mods :)
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Just goes to prove Razer support is no different from any other mfg, it's contracted out to a 3rd party & they use canned responses.

Razer support is beginning to remind me of how OnePlus' support was on their 1st effort. Neither can use that as an excuse, both have been in business long enough to have the basics of tech support covered properly.

Then, the mfgs wonder why people want to bootloader unlock/root/ROM..... The development community would have this issue resolved already given the proper tools......
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Jonathan.Parker2005:
This is my experience.

When I had no SD card, I had no option for storage int he camera app. When I added an SD card, which I formatted to internal storage, it migrated all my images from local to the SD card. If I look under a file explorer, I don't see any "internal storage" anymore, it's just the SD card. When I force it to the root of the storage, I do see internal but in my file explorer it shows as blank. In the camera app I now have a storage selection in settings but it's just an on or off toggle???? Not sure whats that is about, its more than likely because I formatted it as internal storage. So as far as the phone knows the SD card is internal. The way this phone is handling the SD is weird though. Normally, I've seen the internal and the SD card aggregated in file managers(64+128=192, something like that). under storage I see the 2 separate storage locations but they are not aggregated. Never seen it like that before but I've had OnePlus phones for a while. I bought this instead of the OP5t.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
TLDR:

People just want a storage toggle in the camera app settings, it's MIA...

Most, if not all my previous phones with external SD Card support have this very basic option.

IIRC, some asking you to choose where to store your pix when you snap your very 1st pic.

Get your head out of your ass, Razer...
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] bjevers:
That option is "Store Location". That just stores the GPS location where the photo was taken.

Formatting the SD Card as internal is not ideal because your internal storage is much faster than any SD Card will be. I would think the only reason you would ever do that is if 64GB just isn't enough for all the apps, etc. you use. Then formatting a 128GB or larger SD Card for internal memory would make sense.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Jonathan.Parker2005:
Duh, looking at it again with the blinders off, it does say "Save Location" there was me thinking it was a question. Thanks for knocking some sense in me.

About formatting as internal. I know not all apps are getting moved to the SD card, just images, videos and such. And so far so good.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] bjevers:
Ok, I was under the impression that after formatting as internal storage, everything would save to there and the phone's internal storage wouldn't be used.

I guess I prefer formatting as portable storage so I can take the card out and access it when putting it in a different phone or computer. Once you format as internal storage it is encrypted and locked to your device.

I downloaded the boot.img from the files that matched my version on the Google developers page. I loaded the boot.img and ran the Magisk Manager install option.

Took the patched_boot.img and flashed it to my Pixel then rebooted. Magisk Manager didn't show it was installed. Then I remembered I have slot A and B. So I went back installed, swapped to the other slot and installed again. Boot took a little longer this time. After the boot finished Magisk Manager still didn't show installed.

Any ideas on what steps I missed? Any successful Pixel 1/2 owners who have installed without TWRP or previous root?

I'm unrooted but have my bootloader unlocked from when I was using TWRP/SuperSU long ago. I wanted to move to Android 8 for the security updates and features. Now I want Magisk because I miss having root options.

Beta v14.3, didn't see one fitting my specific issue but I also probably didn't search well enough, and I will have to get/find the logs.

Are you referring to logs from Magisk itself or do I need to turn on logging in the developer menu somewhere and try to reflash the patched boot.img?

I asked for versions (pl!) for a reason: there are many. You forgot to mention the manager and eventually twrp.

Simply post in the beta thread with a the available information and including a magisk log.

The quickest and easiest way is to download the 14.3 zip on your phone, then boot into TWRP via fastboot/ADB on your computer. Once in TWRP find the zip file and install. Then reboot. That is what I did and it took no time at all. Keeps stock recovery allowing OTA updates.

Is it possible to make v20 unlock using facial recognition technology? I know that lg g6 didn't have that feature when it was released, but they added it with updates.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] wyclef_chin:
Go to Lock Screen and then Smart Lock, you'll see "Trusted face". You should have enabled Pattern or PIN unlock first.

Yeah, it's not "instant unlock". Fingerprint is still better.

yeah i tried facial unlock with my old S3 for a long time.. it was so finicky it was pointless to use.. thats when i decided my next phone had to have a fingerprint... first went with HTC 10.. but sold that due to money issues.. but now back on phone with fingerprint and love the ease and quickness!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] danik_iceman:
Thank you guys, I tried the smart unlock and it is working pretty well in good light. The only thing I dont like about it is that you have to swipe on the screen after your face has been recognized to unlock the phone, where is with touchid you immediately get into the home screen without need to swipe the screen.

Hello everyone, I've been thinking about disabling Smart Doctor and all related apps (smart doctor webview and smart cleaning). I know it's a useful app but I prefer using other apps for phone optimization. My question is, will these cause issues in the phone? (i.e. random reboots, overheating, lag). Thanks

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] J.R.P:
Killed my phone...

I wouldnt say that it was/might have been 100% the smart doctor's doing, but ill explain what happend:

So, first, as usuall, i open up my smart doctor and optimize the phone. After optimizing, there was a notice on the dignosis button saying that it's better if i restart my phone more regulary. So, as requested, i pressed the restart button(not with the manual power button but a icon written "restart".), aaand it just broke, started a bootloop and its been like that ever since. The funny thing is, my phone(which is a LG V30 btw) was ONLY 3-4 weeks old(with no physical damage whatsoever). For now, im speculating that it was the games fault for heating up my phone and fried my motherbord. But it felt little too weird that it broke after the smart doctor's request to restart the phone. Fortunately, ive got my warrenty so i should get a new phone anytime soon. And this time, im going to test it out how long it would last if i dont download any games, and still use smart doctor to see who was the culprit behind the breakdown of my phone. What do you guys think? Im guessing since the model is different(most of you guys have G6 right?) So the outcome or the situation might be a little different. But that was my experience...(sort of in shock now cuz the last phone i had was a G4 and the same stuff is happening with V30 and even quicker)
