[LG G6 Questions and Answers] RedBenzene:
I'm considering buying an LG g6 for my next phone, I have a couple of questions regarding the snapchat app on the curved screen.

1.When you take a snap and send it, are the rounded edges cut off on the recieving end, if they're on for example an iphone 6 with square edges? Can someone please varify this?

2. When you recieve a snap, are the corners cut off or do you see it with black lines on top and bottom?

Thankyou
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Kal2027:
Hello,

The pictures you send are normal, without the G6's corners. And when you receive a snap, it depend of the ratio screen of the other guy. (16:9 = black lines top and bottom ; 18:9 like S8 or G6, the pictures are in fullscreen with corners cut off.)

Sorry for my english, but I hope you understand :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaukraut:
Dear experts,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7, rooted with Superman Rom v2.7 (Android N) installed. I was very sad when I found out, that it is impossible to have device encryption enabled on a rooted Android N phone. I do not want to go without root any more - too many benefits (Titanium etc) and I also do not want to revert to a former Android version. But I definitely also want to be sure, that if my phone gets lost or stolen, my personal data are not accessible by unauthorized third parties (other than Google and NSA). Without device encryption, this is a real challenge. A thief could simply boot into recovery mode and pull all my data. Even if this is rather unlikely to happen, as thiefs in general are not that interested in personal data, I want to eliminate this threat as far as possible.

So I made up a list of all my data persistent on my device, which I do not want to be accessible by thiefs:

Calendar (i.e. my google calendar app data)

Tasks (i.e. my tasks app data)

Contacts

E-Mails (i.e. my K-9 app data)

SMS messages

WhatsApp messages

Browser history and bookmarks (i.e. my Firefox app data)

Passwords (i.e. my password manager app data)

Access credentials from banking, cloud and social media apps

Photos

So far so good. My passwords are stored encrypted safely by my password manager app - so this point is done. WhatsApp only stores backups of its database encrypted (though they also can be decrypted with some programming skills) - the app data itself (and thus the messages) is stored unencrypted. I am rather sure that access credentials from banking, cloud and social media (Facebook) apps are stored encrypted. And as of my photos, they are just files and I found the tool EMS Lite, capable of putting all my sensible files into an encrypted container, simmilar to TrueCrypt. So what is left are calendar, tasks, contacts, K-9 data, Whatsapp messages, sms messages, Firefox data.

So my question to you is: How to encrypt these data (or parts of it) so that thiefs cannot simply access it by pulling it from my phone? Is there an app, capable of encrypting other apps data?

It must be possible, especially with root. Titanium is capable of encrypting other apps data. The workflow for making it impossible to access an app's data with Titanium would be this:

Enable Titanium encryption in the settings and set a key

Backup the app data

Wipe the app data

This way, a thief has no chance to access the app data without your password. To reaccess the data, one has to restore it via Titanium and provide the key. Of course, this workflow is not practicable to do every time I want to reaccess one of these apps, but theoretically it should work.

Long story short: Is it possible to encrypt specific app's data? If no, do you have any other tips for me to protect my data (or parts of it) from beeing accessed by possible thiefs (other than not loosing my phone)?

Thank you very much!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mr_bahal:
Hi guys,

I have this problem with my tilt. I am watching live video stream in windows media player, I connect the USB cable to my computer and my phone. the yellow light comes on and it shows that my phone is charging. but after couple of minutes I see the green light blinking. if I go to Battery option in system it says that Recharging State: Charging. but I know that it is not charging it. I have to discounect the usb from computer and connect it back. then I see the yellow light back on agian. again same thing happens after 2 minutes or so. This only happens while I am using Video Stream. Is there any way to fix this? I have kaiser tweak but couldn't find any option for this in there.

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mr_bahal:
amy ideas ?:(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GSLEON3:
Unfortunately yes. Have a look at you USB port. You'll probably find it is curved or slightly lower on the right side (closest to the reset hole). Most likely you were the victim & perpatrator in this act. Poor design placed the USB port to close to the reset hole, & innaccurate or misguided fingers tried to perform a reset in the USB port.

If it is not to jacked up you can

VERY CAREFULLY

try to bend it back into shape. Otherwise call your provider & play dumb. Say that it will charge in the home charger but not via USB or Automotive chargers. They will tell you it's not possible, tell them you took it to a store & even the sales guy tried his charger in his vehicle & it WON'T work.

From now on when you reset, use a finger to cover the USB port first.

Successful restoration of factory image into nexus player

Update, I did follow the direction posted on another forum and was successful on restoring my nexus player. Here's the procedure that I found working for me. I had to flash it couple of times since the latest image doesn't seem to fix it. Also the usb driver tool doesn't seem to work properly on my windows 7 laptop, but works in windows 10, but it may just be my Win7 laptop that has too much security restriction.

Here's the procedure.. good luck. Sorry, since I'm newbie, xda won't let me post actual link, I have to remove the http, but it is a good link, you just have to paste it into browser

1.	Download Google USB driver from : developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb

2.	Download and unzip ADB and Fastboot tools: developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

3.	Download and unzip Nexus Player Factory Image: developers.google.com/android/images#fugu

I tried the lastest one : 8.0.0 (OPR2.170623.027, Nov 2017) , but it crashed again. I then loaded the 8.0.0 (OPR6.170623.021, Sep 2017), and it seems to work so far. I disabled the auto-update on the play store just to be safe, but not sure if this would prevent the OTA.

4.	Open command prompt window and go to the unzipped folder for the fugu image

5.	Add path to the ADB/fastboot tool into system PATH, example:

PATH=%PATH%;D:\Dnload\platform-tools_r28.0.0-windows

6.	Get into bootloader of Nexus player using this procedure:

- unplug power of NP

- Press the button on the bottom of NP, keep it pressed and plug-in power

- keep it pressed for about 8 sec, and release, it would go into fastboot mode, showing you the current setting and boot option with default of "normal boot"

- press button one time to stop it from doing normal boot

7.	Plug microUSB cable between NP and your PC, and install driver (unzipped in step 1) if asked.

8.	Back on your command prompt, type "fastboot devices", it should show the nexus device, if nothing is listed, there's still driver issue that need to be fixed.

9.	Now we can follow the instruction to flash the factory image from developers.google.com/android/images. I will summarize the step below that work for my nexus player (pre 2015 device)

- unlock bootloader by issuing command: "fastboot oem unlock". You should see the status updated on the screen to unlocked.

- Execute the "flash-all" script. This script installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware(s), and operating system.

You should see the activity on screen, like downloading state. While the script is running, it would also reboot the nexus player into bootloader, and waiting for the NP to come back up into bootloader. Once it comes back up, the script would resume. In case the player doesn't go back into bootloader, do step 6 to manually get into bootloader

- After the script completes, for security you should lock the bootloader again, by going back into bootloader (see step 6) and issuing command: "fastboot oem lock"
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrJackson2k:
Mine started doing this also, it sits at the GOOGLE screen for a while, flashes/reboots once in a while and then eventually goes to the NO COMMAND screen.

I flashed it back to 7.0.0 NRD90R and it booted up fine, setup things and it worked fine even after the OTA to 8.0, but something else updates soon after that and fails again.

I just flashed the 8.0.0 OPR2.170623.027 before I left for work so we'll see what state it's in when I get home.

On FF it shows updates up to .130 but i can only obtain .129 which is approved with IMEI.. however yesterday 3 updates were pulled from FF which felt shady and made me think they were faulty since people were complaining about wi-fi battery drain so i didn't use the app.

If the phone's system updater decides to work will it give me directly .130/the latest update currently or i'll get just .128? Should i update over FF? Is it safe? Why were the updates pulled yesterday?
