[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nolexxes:
Hi,

Ive been away from the android world for quite some time, what is the easiest way to backup and restore app data when you are a rom flashing maniac? I know that note 8 doesnt have a lot of custom roms but old habits die hard :D

So far, Ive used titanium, its really slow specially the restoring part when you dont have the premium version.

Google backup is also internet based, Im looking for an offline type of backup and restore

There is also twrp, but I have never tested it

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ggrant3876:
If you use TWRP to back up your Rom it works just like it's supposed to, been using it for years. If you just want apps and app data I'd invest in the license for Titanium Backup, you can batch backup, batch restore and even make a flashable zip for your apps and data.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nolexxes:
Twrp backups wouldnt work on another roms, I wanted to buy it anyway, thanks :good:
[General Questions and Answers] DarsVaeda:
so coming from a 250€ phone my brain strikes buying any phone over 300€...yet I need to upgrade.

my demand is a more or less future safe device that has a good camera and battery life with a solid but not high end performance.

as I'm not doing any gaming performance is just needed for media (video recording) and navigation.

in terms of future safe I mainly looked at GALILEO support as I'm located in europe, USB-C connectivity and upgrades.

my initial thoughts where to go with the new moto x4. it seems to be a decent mid range phone. and upgrade policy seems not to be the worst. unfortunately I can't get a Android One phone as im not in the US. Though there might be the possibility to switch with userland help later.

yet reading some reviews I get an instable picture about battery and camera performance. some praise it for the price others claim to be pretty disappointed. seems fishy to me.

the best option so far seems to be the galaxy s8 but it's just sooo pricey (in my eyes).

any suggestion what to upgrade to?

Greetings;

Is it wishful thinking that 8.0.0 Oreo coming to this watch?!

I have to make a decision as to get this watch or the more expensive LG Watch Sport W280.

Thank you.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Grumps:
i have both and honestly oreo isnt that different. get the urbane
[LG Watch Urbane 2] roebling:
Got an update on my Urbane LTE today. When it was installing, the splash screen was the kaleidoscopic 'O' of Oreo. Build number is NWD1.171031.001. Still no way to block spam, tho
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Grumps:
what version does it show? 8.0 or 7.1.1?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] santino18:
Got the same update with the glowing O. It's now showing 7.1.1 and AW v 2.7.0.178645119
[LG Watch Urbane 2] roebling:
It's still Android 7.1.1, January '18 security update, build NMJ88C. Builds starting with "N" mean "Nougat", right?

Funny that the Oreo (beta) splash screen was attached. Hope it means their staff has almost finished converting all to Oreo!
[LG Watch Urbane 2] therock11:
The glowing "O" is just the firmware flashing animation. Its been like that for a while.
[General Questions and Answers] TheKorbenDallas:
I have been using the default Samsung Clock & Weather widget for years in Nova Launcher on my Galaxy Tab S2. However, after one of the recent updates (a monyh or so ago) the widget disappeared from the screen. And it is not possible to re-add it since the built-in Weather app no longer provides that widget under Nova. The small Weather only widget is still available, but the wider Clock & Weather widget is gone.

Meanwhile, if I switch to the defualt TouchWiz launcher I can see that Weather app provides both widgets.

Apparently, it is a compatibility problem of some sort. What exactly happened here? Is there any way to restore support for Samsung Clock & Weather widget in Nova Launcher?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sizzlechest:
I have a SM-T530NU 10.1 Tab 4 with UEU1BQC1 and Magisk 14.0 installed. SafetyNet fails because the kernel is too old. Magisk need at least 3.8 and the kernel in this 5.0.2 version is 3.4. I couldn't find a newer kernel for stock. If I upgrade to one of the 7.1.1 roms, will that trip Knox? So far, it's still 0x0.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] jdoggz:
Can anyone tell me where I can find unlocked firmware for my SM827V?

What is the main difference between 825 and 827?

Really all in trying to do is enable Samsung cloud backup since Verizon disabled it to push us to use their cloud service.

If there is an easier way then please let me know. Flashing the unlocked firmware to my Note 8 allowed me access to Samsung Cloud. I'm hoping for the same on my tab s3.

I just resurected my xda IIs from the grave and upon start I come to the Align screen stage. I follow the directions as usual but it just keeps asking for the taps over and over and over. It never passes the same five steps. I've tried different ROMs but they all stop there. Could it be caused by the little internal battery being dead? Is my digitizer crap? Is it martians? Are the forces of evil combining against me? Am I doomed?

I'd like to see this old guy work again.

Thanks for any tips in advance.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cyberjak:
hard rest then hold the 2 buttons next to the volume slider only and press the rest button on the bottom using the stylus.this should take you to the 4 color screen with 3 options to be set

1st one leave as NO just press the top button

2nd option as yes by pressing the bottom button then press the top button to goto the 3rd

3rd option change to yes again by pressing the bottom button

then press the message button on the front that looks like an postal letter

this wil reset the options saved kind of like resetting a pc bios to manufacture defaults .

then try again to do the alignment.

I had similar when I flashed pdaviets rom to my blue angel and that resolved it
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Raven_coda:
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I broke me screen tinkering with it so I'm not able to test your idea. :(

I started with two LCDs one with a bad digitizer and one with a broken screen. I touch the digitizer off the one a replaced the other so that I had a working screen but then I had the problem listed above. Before I saw your response I thought I might have some dirt or something under the screen causing it to not work so I took it apart but I guess I was just a little too rough this time and cracked the LCD :(

I'll have to find a new LCD if I plan to resurrect this phone.

Thanks anyways for the help

stuck in 4 color screen

I´ve tried everything with my XDA III PH20B1 - no camera model -, but I never get the 3 options screen. Just the 4 colors and bottom right the radio version R 1.10.00.

Is there any other way how to make my O2 XDA III boot after the WM6.1 upgrade ( from 2003se) ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] marianux:
I have the same problem (I have already reply in another thread...), I am still trying to fix it. I suspect from the backup battery, since before I hard reset my SX66 all programs lost their configuration when I turn off and on again my SX66, and when I tried to realign the screen the align cycle repeated forever. Then I tried hard resetting, reflashing to various OS's and I can not pass the initial calibration screen.

Please keep me posted if someone have found the way to solve it.

Thanks !
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] riya2008r2k:
no need to upgrade or delete anything from bios,this is not a cause of motherboard and software.I removed the motherboard and essembled in a working screen phone.there is no problem all ok,its not a problem with backup battery too.Then i changed working phone motherboard to cant align phone but same as before it dsnt align.Therefore in my investigation its a problem with the touch or screen.

its not a problem with screen cover too.

If any knows the exact solution for align problem screen ,please post it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] DroidDotBot:
eway - press the power/stand by and leave for 15-30secs

then pen reset, press [cam] + [rec] as the 4 colour screen comes on and change 2/3 - as previously stated countless times - press [mail] to reset - this will reboot your new rom.

touch flo user manual is a little allusive

but, soo much too test, soo little time

How to bypass Align Screen?

If you have flashed a proper rom/ hard reset your device, there could be some dust on display which won't let the align screen pass. This is a real annoying feature on WM platform. But guess there are always ways to bypass software related issues.

The display can be cleaned by patting a small amount of water on it, and then running the water along with a visiting card on the edges of the screen. This will take off all the dust on the sides, and will let you pass the align screen easily. You can simply wipe the display propely with a glass cleaner.

If this doesn't help then :

When your phone says align screen, connect the phone with computer and get it detected in Active Sync. Next, you could be able to access Tree/Files on your phone. If you are able to do so, then go to startup and delete files directing to Align Screen, if I remb it was "welcome" something. Delete the file, and there won't be any align screen.

or

You can always go for an easier method. Download Code Factory's Remore Screen Alignment (http://www.codefactory.es/en/downloads.asp?id=108). And simply enjoy.

In both of the case, active connection with Active Sync is important. If you are unable to connect your phone, then I believe there ain't any way other than changing the display.

Hope it helps.

O2 Flame

Hello everybody,

I've got a serious problem with my 2 years old O2 Flame: sometimes, when I reboot my pda, I can't realign the screen. And when I can do it, after a while, the left of the screen doesn't respond, or, when I click on it, it's another part of the screen that answers! I flashed the bios already: nothing changed. :confused:

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
You got that from settings > about? That's from the ROM base. You could update firmware to get any that are provided for that, but otherwise you'll have to wait for the developer to update the ROM with a new base.

Truthfully though, it's nothing to worry about. Concern with new possible exploits are mostly overblown. They are discovered by security companies and more times than not, hackers haven't discovered it themselves yet.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] SabreFury:
Hi guys, upgraded to the Mate 10 recently from a dying Galaxy S4. Love the phone but something has been bothering me since I noticed it yesterday.

Whenever I try to scroll on pages from the very edges of the screen (think half the finger is off the screen), the content on the screen doesn't scroll for about a few milliseconds then jerks suddenly towards my finger, as if to compensate for not scrolling earlier.

However, if I move my finger to the edge of the screen from somewhere else, scrolling works fine.

Has anyone else encountered this? Should I bring it back to have it replaced or is this just some software touch rejection at work? Pretty distressed as I intend to keep this phone for at least four years (same as my S4).

Thanks for any help!

Hey all, I will be gifting my S7 and I want to make sure it's clean of my stuff, my phone number info, mail, apps, etc and in new/ready shape for the new family owner. It's a SU rooted G930S with G955F software, 7.0.

In all these years I have not needed to fully reset a phone.

Please, what do you all think is the best way to get this done?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] FilipUzunov:
First of all, go to Settings -> Accounts and log out of all accounts you were logged into. Open your browser and go to your Google account or simply click here. Click on your S7 then click the Remove button and confirm.

Go back to your phone's Settings and type Reset to search for the menu. Select Factory Reset. It should then reboot your phone. Enter your recovery mode and do a cache-dalvik-Data wipe. Reboot once again and upon starting it should be at the Welcome/Select language screen. Power off the phone, and you're done.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edo101:
Hey guys about 3 months ago, I completely reset my phone. Factory reset and wiped everything out. 3 months later, the phone is laggy. Sometimes youtube videos don't even run smoothly. Thats how slow it is. Of course I've cleared cache many times to no help. Battery now and phone also overheats.

Short of doing another factory reset, is there a way to fix this. I don't have the cash currently to buy a newer phone. Sadly. I've grown attached to the Note series especially this phone's functionality. New phone would probably be a Note 8 as I suspect a Note 5 would run into the same issues with the older ROM

[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] internetpilot:
Anyone else running the G5S+ on Sprint? It's working fairly well for me other than a couple of IPv6/IPv4 connection issues. However, is it normal for Cellular network settings to not include any kind of APN settings/options? We have six different devices on our family Sprint account -- Nexus 6, Samsung Galaxy S5 Active, Samsung Galaxy S3, iPhone 7, iPhone 6+, and now the G5S+. All of the other devices have a way to edit the APN settings, even when running the stock, unrooted ROM. I'm waiting to root my G5S+ until after an official Oreo update. Is this a limitation of the stock ROM?

My concern is mostly for when I travel out of the country. I know from past experience I'll need to be able to select the proper APN to get the best connectivity, but I've also needed to select the correct APN locally sometimes like when my phone(s) freak out and only connect to the CDMA_0 APN so I'm stuck on 3G.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Phazmos:
There should be, even on stock. Might be a problem with the sim - contact Sprint for help
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] internetpilot:
Oh, I already have contacted Sprint several times, and had the SIM switched out 3x now. This is a different type of Sprint SIM than I had in my Nexus 6. I think it's probably going to require root and modifying the build.prop or even a custom ROM, which I don't really want to do until the Oreo OTA comes out or at least a much more stable custom ROM than what we have now for this phone.

The Sprint network has gotten a little weird. First this new 3-in-one SIM, which seems to have locked-down APN settings, and then this phone also only has an IPv6 IP#, which is causing a couple problems with monitoring my IP security cameras at both my homes (neither of my ISP's are fully on IPv6 yet), but also even Google Weather and the Android Wear Play Store won't connect on my Asus ZenWatch 3 paired through this phone and only using mobile data. If I connect the phone to wifi (anywhere -- home, public, etc.), the IP cameras, Google Weather, and Wear Play Store all work fine. It's just bizarre that Sprint isn't running a dual stack IPv4/IPv6 network until everything is IPv6. Most things work fine on my phone -- regular Play Store, Netflix, all social media, and even TeamViewer and Plex, which both are hosted the same IPv4 networks that have the IPv4 security cameras . I guess it's because all these other services are running some kind of dual stack configuration at their end, but I'm very surprised that Google Weather and the Wear Play Store apparently is not.

I've yet to find anyone else who is using this phone on Sprint to confirm that they're encountering the same thing I am.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Phazmos:
I'm glad I never used Sprint, mainly cuz I've heard of so many problems with them over the years, and where I am it's basically att or Verizon if ya want any kind of coverage (rural + mountains = shirty cell coverage). Did you get the phone from Sprint? I'm wondering if it's locked down for Sprint - last time I used a locked down device was about 6 years ago. I always thought apns were handled by the os, but if it's locked down, it could be handled by the sim. Now I'm curious - what would happen if you popped in a sim from one of those other devices that do work?

Unlock, root and roms - not many available right now (new devices always take a while - especially if uptake is slow), but what's out there now are pretty much stable enough for daily use. This device is supposed to get Oreo, but probably not till sometime next year (I'm not running it yet but only cuz the features I want aren't there yet). Ipv6 implementation - lol - I've worked with a few network engineers over the years and when the talk of ipv6 started up, they went crazy. Implementing it, even on a small scale isn't an easy thing, imagine on a nation wide, or world wide scale. It started about 5 years ago, and it'll probably take another 5+ before everything is compatible. Anyway, I ramble - good luck , I do hope it gets sorted out for ya!
