My wife has to travel for a few days for work. She will be staying in a hotel with free wifi, that I feel pretty comfortable saying will be unsecured. She is taking our Samsung Galaxy Tab S2. She has downloaded a few movies from Netflix, but would like the option of watching other things. We are currently subscribed to Directv Now, so she could also stream live tv.

I know that unsecured public wifi hotspots are not safe and generally not a good idea to use if you don't have to. It is a rare occurrence that either of us are away from home long enough to justify paying for a VPN. I've read that if you are using an unsecured public wifi, do not log in to any banking apps or anything with sensitive information. Does that mean you would be safe if the ONLY thing you did was watch Netflix, HBO, Directv Now, etc using apps that you are already logged into? Streaming tv and movies would be the only thing she does using the tablet. How can she do this while staying as safe as possible?

I used almost every Custom ROM out there and I didn't have any option to enable video call directly . Every time it gives senseless reason like BATTERY IS TOO LOW {even the battery is 100 %} or call just simply disconnected.

please anyone give any satisfactory answer {if you know}.

or if anybody knows how to enable it please let us know in comments.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rex99:
Hello guys, I'm not completely new to custom ROMs and flashing,but when I tried to flash my galaxy prime SM-G530H(fortuna3G-kitkat) I stumbled across some trouble.

Note that my device is rooted.

First of all when I started with flashing TWRP custom recovery mode, my phone began showing "seandroid is not enforcing" when I open it ,but it still works.

I didn't give much attention to that issue and continued to flashing the custom ROM,which is lineageOS 13 (unofficial)

The ROM worked perfectly except for some slight problems.

My phone lost the ability to enter to sleeping mode.

Whenever I tap on the lock button,instead of the screen turning of it shows a white screen.

And the brightness is unadjustable always at its highest.

I tried flashing the ROM twice (with twrp) but the problem is still there, and also "seandroid not enforcing" is still there when I boost the phone.

Any ideas on how to deal with this issue without having to return to stock rom?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] k4k:
So i have used aicp,pixel exp and RR as well as of now. Animation lag is a common problem for my device. So if any of you guys experience any lag issues in the rom even after restarting the device several times ,then follow this--

1. Turn the Live Display off.

2. Go to recovery and wipe dalvik.

3. Reboot.

Lag will surely be fixed. I have it fixed on my phone.

Hello everyone,

My Moto Z TX1650 was updated automatically by OTA, restart by itself and - bricked. (awesome job, Moto.)

I was going through a maze of topics until I found the blankflash script that actually owrked and made my phone trun on in fastboot again. It was in black screen no signal whatsoever even for charger - I though it was dead, but aint. (i´m posting here the blankflash used so anyone is facing the very same issue)

script to bring back your phone from dead - https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4372614&d=1514473892

But now my phone is oem_locked, I dont have system (ROM) functional to enable oem in developer mode, and I cannot jump into any menu - Recovery Mode, for example, to try t o bootup using ADB, for there´s nothing in those partitions.

Recovery Mode

Startup Failed

Your device didnt start up correctly.

I´m trying to use fastboot oem unlock, I have the code, but in the end asked me to unlock it in the system.

Well if I had a system to boot into, i wasnt even trying to unlock it.

Anyone got any suggestion on how to unlock my phone OEM through fastboot only?

Thank you all.

I've been using the Sonos App for my Music System on a 1st Gen Kindle for some time, however it will no longer function with Sonos as the Kindle's last and final operating system is 10.5.1.... However Sonos now Requires Android 4.3 or Higher for its App to function.

Is there a "easy" path to get a compatible Android system on this device? I've gone through the FAQ's and it seems this model is very user unfriendly for upgrades. Is this just not feasible?

Before I rule out changing the operating system, I would appreciate any advice..

Thanks!

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] majaczos:
That's how it works on pretty much every single Huawei/Honor device. Why? I have no idea.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] Swaddy:
I'm not an expert, but cooler white LED's have lesser power consumption (Lumen per Watt). So if you want to use the LED as a flashlight, cooler light is more efficient and they don't need to cool the module too much. I like the warm one as a flash, but I still miss the Xenon Flash from old Sony Ericsson Phones :)
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] majaczos:
Noone uses it long enough to make 7-10% difference neigligible. Turning the flashlight on for couple of hours makes no difference either.

More - LED efficiency depends on the current. Split the same current for two diodes and they'll make even more light! And since the other one is a warm one, light itself will be much higher quality. There's absolutely no reason to use just one LED as a flashlight.

[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Terminator.J:
There's no direct button for it within RW Recovery, but it has adb working, so once you're started up in Red Wolf Recovery, just plug into the computer and send it "adb reboot edl" from a terminal. I just tested it and it worked fine.

I'm assuming you have a functional installation of android sdk or platform tools and working USB drivers on a capable computer, otherwise what exactly did you plan on doing with EDL mode anyway?
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mar.ur:
No possible to run edl mode from system by ADB command . Edl = download and is existing in twrp as I know .
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Terminator.J:
... I"m sorry, I don't know what else to say, other than either you're wrong or there must be something wrong with your computer/phone configuration. I literally just started up in the latest red wolf recovery, connected via USB cable to my computer (Windows 10 laptop), opened an administrative command prompt on the computer, cd to directory I unzipped platform tools to, typed "adb reboot edl", and the phone rebooted into emergency download mode, and ran QFIL, which sees a 9008 mode device ready for flash.

However I did also test from within the recovery itself... going to terminal inside RW recovery and typing "reboot download" did not work, it just restarted normally. That is true. But again, it's not an issue since you have the computer & USB cable there (or else you wouldn't need EDL mode) and can just send the adb command from the computer.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mar.ur:
I only reported that is impossible to run edl mode from system by ADB and from twrp by download button .

[General Topics] andrey08:
Basically a touch cruise type of screen vs a screen with plastic/metal borders.

Whats your experience, im torn between phones and want to know whats more useful.

my opinion is that the flush screen is a finger print magnet. on a Phone like the Cruise it will make it look dirty because of all the prints.

With the new touch interfaces how much does the flush screen contribute to usabilit?.

Those that switched from a bordered screen to a flush one pls let me know what relief you felt and what new annoyances have you encountered.

thx
[General Topics] JwY:
The good part is that it's a lot easier to touch near the corners or edges with your fingers. For example, the "X" close button. When swiping your finger, you also don't run into a border.

The bad part it that the screen is less protected, but if you take good care of it, it shouldn't be a problem.
[General Topics] srmz:
I am for the Flush screen because it makes using my favourite SIP Cootek's TouchPal so much easier.
[General Topics] rorydaredkign:
I like flush better, things like scrollbars are so much easier to use.

On my touch, it seems like the touchscreen is about 3 milimeters more outside than the screen...

only my perception

Ive had an athena and a tytn, so in a direct comparison to the tytn, touch has a way better screen
[General Topics] acwyau:
I went from a Mogul to a Touch and I much prefer the flush screen. I don't like to get the stylus out in day to day use, so being able to access all corners of the screen with my thumb is a necessity.
