[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdroid666:
ok i am back again , i still have not done the dirty flash yet because i have been busy

i will probably try it soon with the original files i used to flash the rom and xposed with

but first i would like to get your input on this theory i have

ok i am thinking that because i have 3 5th gen fire 7 tablets all rooted and running custom roms ,and only one is having a problem , and that the one with the problem is the one with TWRP /unlocked bootloader

that this may be the cause of the problem

https://www.xda-developers.com/google-blocks-gapps-uncertified-devices-custom-rom-whitelist/

i have the same pico gapps flashed on all 3 devices but only one device has the unlocked bootloader

and that is the broken device , and the message that i get says " [app name] relies on google play services which is not supported by your device.please contact the device manufacturer"

i went into the play store under settings it did indeed say that the device is uncertified

i then installed an app to get my GFS device ID ,and converted the hexadecimal number into a decimal number and successfully submitted it to the whitelist site google/android/uncertified

it still did not fix the problem , then i cleared data and cache of the play store in settings/apps/play store

and tried again and nothing still , then i checked in play store settings and saw it no longer says incertified but it the field is gone completely now it does not say uncertified but it does not say certified either

then i went back to settings /apps/ google play store and removed updates and reverted back to factory play store and checked settings again there is still no field where the uncertified used to be and it is still not working

and now i don't know how to get the play store to update to latest version aside from sideloading it

i am not sure what to do next but what do you think about my tablet being broken because google now blocking gapps on uncertified devices as being the cause for this issue ,seems really strange to me that only the one tablet with the unlocked bootloader is being affected

but why did the whitelist also not work then ,i am really confused now and i am not seeing any other posts here about similar issues
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Your non-functioning tablet does NOT have an "unlocked bootloader". It has a coding oversight that allows a custom recovery (TWRP) to be booted from fastboot. In all other respects it is identical to the other two from a capability/signature perspective.

The policy change/enforcement you reference is not the cause as Google only starting blocking access a couple weeks ago. Nor will it likely impact this device based on my interpretation of the criteria Google applies.

What to do next? Reload as previously outlined. I also recommend (rather strongly) that you consider migrating to a supported ROM. At present that's either Fire Nexus or Lineage.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdroid666:
ok i finally got around to doing this

after the flash everything looked good, but i am still getting no play services , can't open youtube or gmail still

i get play services not supported by this device
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Sorry to hear that. Best move on to second recommendation from previous post.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdroid666:
from what i have been reading trying to find a fix that probably will not work either

looks like a lot of people having this issue even with real android devices with factory roms including samsung phones on N and lenovo tablets

this OS is really turning into a complete dumpster fire, Google should have provided a fix but i feel that they are deliberately causing these issues to kill devices to drive sales or for some other nefarious purpose

either that or they are just totally incompetent

i have not seen a single person who posted that they have this issue get a resolution to it

how is this acceptable how have they not been sued for this yet?

i understand that this is a hacked Amazon device but this issue seems to persist across legit devices with factory roms as well and there is no official solution what are people to do if they bought an expensive Samsung device and have this unsolvable issue?

just toss it in the bin and buy a new one i guess

i can;t beleive there is no solution that is as simple as installing some .apk's
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Sorry, don't subscribe to that line of thought. Google Play Services issues are largely self inflicted and almost always resolvable. Move to a supported ROM and the problem will likely go away. If you dumpster it in favor of something different stay away from current gen Amazon gizmos. With exception to the HD 10 none are rootable. Good luck.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdroid666:
Yes i will try a new rom i guess which one is the most like the one i have now ?

and do you happen to know if any of them will support casting from the quick settings shade?

I actually did just buy the fire HD 10 on prime day for that very reason

but besides root what exactly can be done with it?

I mean no there are no custom roms or TWRP yet right

is anyone working on TWRP or a custom rom?

I kinda think i might want to leave it on fire OS to try out the always listening Alexa and Alexa show capabilities

Is it like the fire 7 where i can already remove lock screen ads install play store and change the launcher to nova without root even?

What does root allow on the HD 10 that is useful right now?

Would it possible to install xposed and youtube adaway on it with fire OS?

I have not opened it yet so do all current FW's support root still?

does the FW that added the Alexa show capabilities to fire OS still support root?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
- I would go with Fire Nexus + Xposed and a few select modules for maximum flexibility if seeking to mimic the RR UX

- head here for the latest developments on HD 10 platform

- nothing wrong with curated FireOS + xposed once rooted. I ran with that config for quite some time with no regrets
[Samsung Gear Fit] MrOkram:
Have a bit of a problem with my Gear Fit 2. I usually have HR set to Auto, so it monitors my HR always, and when i remove it it turns it off, or that i did sometime ago, now when i remove it from my wrist it won't turn the HR sensor off, it'll keep measuring something(150-220HB/s), which can be annoying. Also i have it set to lock when removed from wrist, but it stopped doing too.

If any of you have had this issue and somehow solved it i would be really grateful!

(Just to mention i did try Factory reset and my phone is S7 Edge currently)
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] tak.japan:
Hi All,

I love pixel 2, I can't figure out when PIP works with Oreo, and it doesn't.

I come from Samsung GS6 world, and as much as I hated how out dated it was, PiP worked with EVERY app. all I had to do was swipe the display from corner, and it would make the app overlay. I could resize the overlay how ever I want.

I was surprised pixel 2 didn't have that feature as I always thought it was google feature, and not samsung's.

Are there anyway to make PiP for Oreo and make it work for every single app?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] buffal0b1ll:
You can only allow it for the apps that show up here.

Settings>apps and notifications>advanced>special apps access>picture in picture

App developers need to add the ability to do pip to the app to have it show up in this list.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] tak.japan:
that's too bad... starting to miss samsung world just for this feature...
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] buffal0b1ll:
On pixel you invoke pip by pressing home button. You'd hate it if it did pip for all apps anyway.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] tak.japan:
On Samsung you invoke it by swiping diagonally, almost like you're changing the window size,and this worked with every single app including plex. I hate how it doesn't work on this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Aaazv:
Rooted Note 8/FD 64gb with exposed installed.

Fully charged. From 100 to 90 took only 25 minutes using phone normally with wifi.

And also it charges too late. From 33 to 63 took 45 minutes.

And also scrolling chrome faces lag also playing simple games like "Dune"

Is all of this normal?

Anyone else facing this problem?

I know the warranty is void, but garanty too?

Anyone know a fix?

+ I used smart switch and sent all of my note 4 apps and data to this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Aaazv:
and let me add that I played it in game mode so its expected not to lag.

It even lags much more when I start recording...

Restoring is known to cause some issues, I manually installed everything and all has been fine
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Aaazv:
I did a factory reset and installed no apps.

Just used 4g a little, but still see how fast is draining...

Do you have any other idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ProtoDeVNan0:
I think You should flash stock firmware with Odin and leave it on Your phone for a couple of days and see if Your battery gets better.

Also, You should expect around 4 to 6:30hr SOT on Note8. That's the SOT I get and it's usually with low/medium usage.

And on my Xiaomi phone I get 10-12hr SOT with pretty high usage.

Samsung phones don't have the best battery life but I guess it's enough for most people + You can use quick charge.

So, do these things:

Flash stock firmware with Odin.

Use Your phone for like 3-4 days(OS will optimise itself to Your usage).

Take screenshots of how much SOT You get every day and see if it improves during these 3 days.

Tell us about Your results and then we will be able to tell You if Your phone is normal or needs repair :).

I know that xposed v88 was bad for n8 regards battery drian.

I have installed v89 xposed.

And it looks much better than older versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] RossTeagan:
I know it sounds stupid, but have you checked for viruses?

battery drainage and data consumption are sometimes signs that you have unwanted software or apps installed on your phone.

Do the following steps and see if it works:

1. Boot your phone into Safe Mode.

2. Search for the virus (For this, go to Settings > Application Manager and tap the Downloaded apps section. In most cases, the virus is a third-party app, so look at what you’ve downloaded over there and see if there’s anything suspicious. Notice that your phone may have other types of malicious software but technically these are not viruses.)

3. Uninstall any suspicious app that you can't identify

4. Remove the Device Administrator Status of the virused app

The guide can be found here: https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/how-to-tell-if-your-phone-has-a-virus/

Let me know if you can identify anything suspicious.

i need to take apart my ks20. want to repaint the chrome like frame that goes around the phone (lg used some cheap paint, it comes off really easy). I have looked at the service manual, but couldn't get anywhere. After taking out the battery and sim card, there are to screws on top that i removed, i tried to remove the back plastic cover (the one with the camera opening) and no luck, it doesn't budge.

does someone know how to do this? i think the service manual is somewhere on the site, but i have no idea how to proceed.

thanx a lot:)

Maybe some one can answer this question? I also need to disassemble my KS20 - because of dirt on camera lens...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] enigma1nz:
The disassembly is fairly straightforward - remove the battery, remove the visible screws, run a special tool along the black plastic and unclip. It's not easy, but it will come off. The back cover houses thermal pad, because KS20 gets quite hot from time to time. I guess LG didn't anticipate that happening, so the pad is a bit of a last resort solution from them, quite unorthodox.

As far as middle silver strip is concerned, it houses a flex, so unless you know what you are doing - don't bother touching beyond the back cover.

tqso much....

i just receive my digitizer today... but i have no idea to repair it myself...can u guide me? :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tom200:
We took my ks20 apart. The screen opened up a bit when it was removed, so perhaps it's broken. We did manage to get the digitizer off however..

Problem is the digitizer was glued with a helluva lot of glue. How will we get it to stick when we put it back? I read some use double-sided tape, but won't that be way too thick?

Glue seems to be the only solution, but what kind and how much? The screen also seemed to have been glued in place.

Will any kind of super glue work? Only a couple of drops perhaps? I'm pretty sure the phone won't be tight after this but..

Anyone who's done this procedure.. What did you use? We're gonna finish this tomorrow so I'm very grateful for any advice.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keltemp:
My Nexus 5x that was running 8.1 just randomly turned off yesterday and won't boot into android. Sometime later i tried to turn it back on and it worked and it turned off by itself 2 mins later. i somehow manged it to get into fastboot mode and I then unlocked the bootloader and flashed the stock firmware . But that did not help at all , in fact the phone was now completely dead and it only goes into fastboot sometimes while the other times it being stuck in a bootloop . while luckily when it went into fastboot, i have tried installing different boot images like boot4core but it still wont do anything its really weird,sometimes it doesn't respond to any key combination while sometimes it would go normally into fastboot. Need help , i Have no clue!! plzzz
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tails2k:
Same Problem here! Running 8.1 and tap Uppdate Chrome and Alexa App, that the Phone freez and Reboot. After reboot he try to load the apps but freez. Now it wont boot to system and recovery say no command. When i now will enter Recovery the Phone reboots.

No open bootloader and no root. Stock 8.1 Rom from Google

Edit: Try to start Phone in Secure Mode (When Google Logo Popps up press Volume -) Say the System is Corrupt and do a Factory Reset. After Reset the Phone stuck on Boot too

Edit Edit: OK think thats the CPU Hardware Bug. Phone dont start anymore...

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] lit_lee:
I dont know what I did but I know it was my fault.

Whenever I try to create a full backup of all partitions I get "createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255"

But when I exclude the System partition it works fine.

So if I restore everything else later on will everything work fine? I'm not exactly sure whats getting left out in the partition.

Btw, my bootloader is unlocked, I'm currently on FreedomOS 2.1, I have Magisk, Xposed, all the good stuff...

ALSO! I did an ADB backup on my computer with "adb backup -apk -shared -all -system -f"

I'd be fine with the ADB backup but "backup.ab is only 1.5 GB and my nandroid backups are usually around 11GB...
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Airwolf79:
Team Win recommends using the system image backup instead of just system for dm-verity devices, but I still get the same problem as you when trying to perform a backup. What you could try is clean flashing the ROM and then just restore data from ur backup. That should work.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] lit_lee:
Yeah I read in other places a fresh flash would work but I wanted to weight my options.

How does one go about doing the image backup? That sounds a lot better.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Airwolf79:
When you select backup in TWRP, it's one of the available boxes to check. Uncheck system, check system image. This hasn't solved my problem of backups not completing though. I always remove my fingerprints and pin before a backup, and I've been able to complete backups before, but usually the problem lies in encrypting the backup itself. However, I've still had backups hang at 95% even without encryption. Maybe someone else can shed some light on to why this is happening.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Bradl79:
the createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255 is not from system its from data and issues with parallel apps on ur OP5T

download Android Terminal and type

su
pm remove-user 999

then u can backup with twrp, never tried to do a restore yet though

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] silk186:
I have an odd issue with my phone:

Some of my photos cannot be opened in Gallery, displaying a gray thumbnail with an exclamation mark.

I was concerned that my SD card was faulty or corrupt so I put it in my computer ... no problem.

I ran error check on the SD card, not errors.

Put it back in my phone... and the same photos can't be opened in gallery. I try to use another app on my phone ... no problems.

Now I'm really confused, as I can open the photos with other apps on my phone.

I would prefer to not redo my phone. Any suggestions?

My camera app works fine. Try setting the camera to local storage or removing the SD card and seeing if that corrects the issue.

If it does, remove the files from the card, format (in the phone) and put them back, see if that helps.

If none of this helps, RMA the SD card.
