[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Wait, i dont get it, it is prompting you for a password even you didnt set it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jaszfalvi.tamas:
I set a password when I enabled Secure Startup.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Then use that same password, i think there is confusion, there is a password when you enable fingerprint and then a password when you enable secure startup. Be sure not to confuse them. If it still happens, then I guess there's got something wrong with the update, and only way is a factory reset. Btw, i also updated and i normally entered secure boot password and it started okay. Don't know what caused this for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jaszfalvi.tamas:
I entered the password correctly, as it stated "Starting Android..." then the rotating padlock took forever. More than 10 hours even. But in the end, a factory reset helped me. But rip my photos and memories...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] benjamen50:
Don't use device encryption anymore and leave OEM unlocking enabled in developer options.

Those two settings cause more hassle if you want to keep data, and make backups from time to time using Samsung Smart switch on computer. Use a microSD card to store and take all your photos from camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Right, but i use encryption and i could update without any problem, don't know what caused this issue with him. But one should backup all data BEFORE updating, as i did to save yourself from such hassle.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jaszfalvi.tamas:
Yeah, it's a sure thing I won't turn on Secure Stratup anymore. I don't know what OEM unlock does or does not, but right now, I don't have dev options enabled. If I had a microSD then I couldn't care less about resetting my phone, but since I don't have, because I have two SIM cards and a memory card has no place left, I feel bad.

Still, I don't know caused this issue. I had OTA updates before with full device encryption enabled and I had no issues before. I kinda used the same disk space at every OTA, so it should have took the same time... And I have to mention, that I did not tamper with the software. No root, no custom rom, and software only from the play store.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] benjamen50:
To enable developer options you click Build number 7 times which is located in the Software information tab in settings.

OEM unlock allows you to flash and boot the phone with custom binaries (Custom Recovery, Kernels, Roms). You can leave OEM unlock disabled if you don't want people that may steal your phone and use it for themselves.

With OEM unlock disabled and a google account signed in, it will block anyone from using the phone after a factory reset on stock Samsung firmware as it will prompt the user to enter the google account that was associated with that device.

Unfortunately there are rare cases that a OTA update may fail. Reflashing correct stock firmware usually fixes it but in worse case scenarios a factory reset will be required.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jaszfalvi.tamas:
Never had OEM unlock enabled, because I didn't know what is does, so thanks for the info. I reflashed the correct stock firmware, but that didn't help either, so I had to resort to wiping the data... Regarding this, do you know by any chance a good software for recovering data without root?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] benjamen50:
I don't know of any unfortunately, if anyone has any good paid ones that actually work please post here.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Dcanestri:
Ok, so I thought something was up with my phone and it's now been confirmed that the phone was hacked. I've tried factory resetting it several times, but I can't get rid of whatever is on here. The hacker also managed to infect my personal laptop as well as my work desktop and laptop. What do I do and I how to i go about getting rid of everything from the 3 computers and the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] djcrystals:
Kinda need some more details. How do you know you've been hacked? What are the symptoms? Which exact phone (model) do you have? What's the OS in your computers?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Ma$etas:
Do a ODIN reinstall on your phone instead of a factory reset from the phone. If you use ODIN to reinstall the whole software you should get rid of anything that you could possibly have. if you have a SD card currently in it just get rid of that to be on the safe side. make sure you have all the correct settings checked in ODIN and this will leave your phone as new.

Same thing with your laptop/desktop do I a complete fresh install unless the "HACK" affected your BIOS.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] malimt:
Greetings Forums Members,

I thought I'd make a post here and get your opinions about what ROM to use. - I'm currently running Resurrection Remix from here: https://xdaforums.com/mi-mix/development/rom-resurrection-remix-04-09-2017-t3587049/page420

So far everything seems to be running really well on this ROM, but before this Rom I was running Stock Rom with Marshmallow, then updated to nougat MIUI 9 or something like that and I really hated it... So I wiped, re-flashed the original Marshmallow Rom using Mi Tool. I then decided to install TWRP and Root my device and keep it on stock MM. It was really good and treated me well for the longest time. Eventually, I got bored of it and decided to try out some custom Roms.

I wanted to ask you all which Rom is currently the best Rom to use for the Mi Mix, would really appreciate some advice here. I'm mainly looking for something with good Battery Life and Fast/Smooth Rom.

- Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] omerbagi10:
AICP, It is the best and I think that besides Epic rom and Lineage that it is the only good one that is still maintained.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] malimt:
Thank you very much for your prompt and detailed response.

I'm currently using Resurrection Remix (ROM) - What are your thoughts on that? I personally find it to be really good because of the many feature it has included in the (ROM) - For example; you can really customize the (ROM) however you see fit. I find that to be the most appealing thing about the (ROM).

I'll be sure to give some of the other (ROMS) a try before settling on this one. I have yet to transfer all my dad over anyways since I've only been testing it so far. I'd like to make sure that there aren't many flaws before I settle.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] james1089:
Speaker switching in phone call and proximity sensor both work better in AICP, probably not a deal breaker, weekly updates and soon Oreo which there are a couple already.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] malimt:
I appreciate your response.

I'll be sure to give it a try and see how it is. I decided to settle with RR now but I should definitely try out other (ROMS) before completely settling with RR since its the first custom (ROM) I've tried. I must say though that RR is very stable and has no flaws. Battery life is also very good.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] gavin19:
RR hasn't been updated in months and likely won't be. AICP is the closest in terms of functionality (lots of config options etc) and is still updated weekly. Also, Oreo ROMs are starting to land (finally) so you might want to try those. I just built AICP for Oreo yesterday and I'm running it now. No major issues so far.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] james1089:
Give it me:eek:
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] gavin19:
I asked for permission to release it unofficially, at least until they start releasing their own official Oreo builds. Hopefully I hear back soon.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] malimt:
I appreciate your advice here Gavin. I'll be sure to give AICP a try, it sounds very interesting.

- hopefully we'll get a chance to see you present your hard work with the 8.0 Oreo (ROM).
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] camoway:
Viper is a great base rom if you want to customize it a lot
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] malimt:
Awesome. Thanks for your input.

I've tried several ROMs that you've all recommended except for Viper. So far in my opinion I'd have to say RR has been the best in terms of speed, reliability and battery life. However, I'd like to give Viper a try as well just to see how it is in comparison to RR.

What version is it currently and what are your thoughts on Viper ROM ?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] gavin19:
ViperOS is dead. Hasn't been updated in months and likely never will be. Rumours of an Oreo update hang on an article/video in Brazilian (where the team lead is/was based) showing it running on some device.

If you want to stick with Nougat for now, go AICP (more configuration options) or Lineage (closer to stock AOSP). Nougat ROMs are the only ones with custom kernels as yet too.

None of the Oreo ROMs are without issue for now, although they are minor for the most part. Another 1-2 should be along soon to add to Pixel Experience/Cardinal/RR/AICP.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Avalon:
I'm using [MENTION=5657304]gavin19[/MENTION] 's unofficial RR Oreo ROM. Love it. There are some minor issues but they shouldn't deprive you from trying it out. I strongly recommend it
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] malimt:
Awesome. Thanks for reporting here and letting me know. I'll definitely be sure to give it a try and see how it is.

As I understand there's not going to be an official Oreo update for the Mi Mix... It sucks bit at least we have custom ROMs to make up for it and that is amazing!!!!!!!! I hope we get it working good real soon!!!!
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] james1089:
Won't be long before it's all sorted, Def usable though, crdroid is working really good.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Ultraman666:
Ya I need to try Crdroid, as I am on AICP and i havent really had any issues with that rom it works great and I can customize it like I want.

I am very excited i saw that ViperOs has figured out the Oreo 8.1 and has released a few roms, im hopeful someone will find a way to get that working for the Mi Mix!!!!
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] omer919:
I think the best rom ever made for xiaomi mi mix is the Xiaomi.eu MIUI8 Stable v8.5.4.0

Reasons:

~ Unlike all custom roms, the miui uses the whole screen and has real rounded corners and not software made ones which makes the screen look better!

~ The MIUI 8 for MI MIX includes a gesture to hide the navigation bar and have a full screen in any app that you want, you can easly control it when ever you want, best rom for full screen exprience when ever you want! also when you do swipe to hide the nav bar the apps use the whole screen and there are no black bars! none of the custom roms have that!

~ version 8.5.4.0 has no bugs in it and has the best battery life you will ever see on the MIX

~ all Xiaomi.eu Pros and features!

~ Proximity sensor works perfectly and loud in this miui version, you cant find any custom rom that has that working perfectly these days :(

~ Camera is very good on the official MIUI version!

~ all the MIUI pros and features

~ NO HEAT of the phone, something that happens in a lot of custom roms I used

~ Please note that you can use MIUI9 from Xiaomi.eu if you want, but you will lose the stablity and swipe to hide the nav bar amd the phone heats a lot (but you get android 7, and all the new features) not recomended on the MIX

I have used tons of custom roms on my phone: LineageOS, RR, AICP, AOSP. AIOSP, DIRTY UNICORNS, PIXEL EXPERIENCE. none of the are as stable as that rom and I always go back to that rom.

Have a great day!

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] malimt:
You're right! Patience is key.

Yeah, Viper is most definitely a good Rom to use. I've used it on many other devices before and it has always performed rather well. It's a grea Rom overall and the customization is what really caught my attention. So I vote Yes, viper is indeed a good Rom to use on the Mi Mix and just about every other phone that supports it. AiCP is also a very good Rom on the Mi Mix.

I don't know man... I've never found the battery life to be good on stock ROM. I completely understand what you're saying though. However, if I'm being perfectly honest here, I wouldn't go back to using stock. Don't get me wrong it's very well-built and smooth but the battery life has always been horrible for me not sure why...
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] ofuroinu:
Hi Bro want to find out more from you based on your experience

I have updated to latest weely rom 9.6 - 8.5.3 but my Line ap still cannot open.

I want to go bac to stable rom as you said. What do you suggest and how to do it? I am afraid I will lose the history in whatsapp and other chat apps if clean install.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] malimt:
Backup & restore? Whatsapp chats and media files can be backed up to your Google drive and there are other options available for backup as well.

Same thing can be done for messages if you use the Google messenger app for texting and if not, you can still backup your messages and contacts very easily by using this 3rd party app to do so... Which uses Google drive. Also this app backs up call logs, contacts and SMS messages. App name: SMS BACKUP & RESTORE.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore

As far as apps and settings go you can always just use your Google account to backup all apps/files/data if you have the option turned on in settings of course.

General SD files like media files (pics, vids, etc.) can be backed up manually using your computer and internal storage or by uploading them to the cloud... which is for free.

How to revert back to stock? There are many guides available right here on the forums, if you just take a closer look you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Wmateria:
The recently updated Oreo Global Miui Beta 8.5.17 is probably the best one out there in terms of battery life and usage.

[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Questions & Answers] Fabxz:
Hello, one week ago I received the Axon 7 mini from Gearbest, since then I haven't used it that much, but yesterday while watching a youtube video it turned off suddenly and when I tried to turn it on it just gotted stuck in the zte logo. After several tries, and trying of wiping the data and doing the factory reset (what gave error messages such as "can't mount"...), I decided to update it to from the sd card using firmware of the russian zte. After that the phone could pass the zte logo and start the configuration screen slowly, but started to rebooting, it took me several trys till I could finish the set up, but the problem was still, then I tried to do the factory reset as well as data wipe now succesfully, but the rebooting and slowness still there, so I can't do anything because I can't finish the setup correctly, and even the only way to turn off the phone without the boot loop is inside the menu of android recovery. I hope you can help me, thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stevierg:
A simple enough poll.

Are you going to upgrade from your Kaiser to the Sony X1?

Personally I love my Kaiser, it is by far the best phone I've ever had. My only problem is the screen resolution.... Now bring along the Sony Xperia X1 and have it pretty much functionally the same as the kaiser and the larger screen resolution and you have an awesome phone.

What right now could beat the X1, the TyTN III, but it's not anounced and unlikley to be this year.

So personally I can't wait for the X1.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mimimui:
Definitely not, though my kaiser is not perfect, i dont think a X1 would be. i've been using Sony's laptop, cell phones, mp3,etc in the past, but everytime there are some unacceptable designs fault like easily broken buttons and leakage on machine body. They just put their efforts on design, without testing carefully the components!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] andaroo:
it would be better to ask this question when the device is in the wild and people have had a change to review it,

it could be a lemon for all we know
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stevierg:
That's true, but and a real but, if it is pretty much the same as the Kaiser, with the higher resolution, slighly faster processor and graphics drivers (which I doubt really HTC want to fix for the kaiser) then this will be a killer phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] FloatingFatMan:
Can we have another option please? Something along the lines of:

No, I'm not touching another device made by HTC, no matter who they're working with.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cayotte:
I like to try new gadget. So, for me, definitely I'm going to upgrade to Sony Xperia X1. If it's not going to be that good, I'll be back to my Tytn II.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Boinng:
It's really too soon to say, it looks good from this distance, but until there are real world reports on performance etc it's not possible to judge. I'd like it to be a killer device that I could upgrade to with confidence, but my previous experience of both SE and HTC tells me to wait.

It's still possible that this phone will only be a minor improvement on the Kaiser, and the Kaiser itself may still be improved in the meantime (through the work going on here, if not at HTC).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Foxhunter123:
If I didn't have the Kaiser I would buy the X1 no doubt about that - but for my use there just isn't enough new stuff under the cover to make me go away from the Kaiser... :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] vip3r69:
Oh yes please!!!!!

I will definitely check it out closer to launching but from what I have seen up to now I don't see any reason that I would not take it. I use to be a SE fan before I got into ppc's. I was looking for OS freedom, that is why I started with WM devices. I liked my Wizard and after almost 2 weeks can't find fault with my new Kaiser. Deep down I'm still a SE fan though.

Can't wait for launch date :D:D:D:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] atomixpaintball:
Not sure...I really like the larger screen and the buttons on the X1 as they are spaced out.

It also seems to be lighter/thinner which would be a plus.

But hopefully when the release WM7.0, it will make the Kaiser UI much more friendly and interactive.

None of this is confirmed and this is just a mockup, but it looks really sharp: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Microsoft-Windows-Mobile-7-0-Preview-or-Simple-Mockup-75751.shtml

For the most part though I really like my Kaiser
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] belon_cfy:
I heard that the actual release date will be in 2009 Feb
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ~~Tito~~:
You all know that this is Sony Ericsson right?? I will get it when I have the money and the time

Also no that was a typo.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tuntang:
its made by HTC

apparently
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Boinng:
SE have confirmed that was just a mistake on their website, the release date stands at H2 - meaning anytime between July and December this year.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] grandpareza:
i just went on the sony website and watched their commercial. Its the crappiest commercial to advertise the phone. Its 6 seconds of the phone in action, and the rest is flying paper airplane.

I cant decide whether I want it or not. if it has all the things kaiser does, then yeah, but otherwise most likely not.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Boinng:
In theory it has all that the Kaiser has, plus a higher resolution screen. The really killer difference though is the size and weight - it really is a LOT smaller, and a lot more pocketable, while still retaining that full qwerty etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stevierg:
The most important feature is the keyboard. Sure that's why we all have the Kaiser right...

Size is important, but too small and you can't type. You'd end up with a Treo/ Blackberry/ Samsung type keypad and I can't stand those buttons, way too small.

In saying that though, the thickness is really important, it would be great if it was a lot thinner, but again if you go too thin you get into that area that samsung have been pushing. Have you tried out their D900 phone, just way too thin, pain in the a*s to press those keys.

Also weight. Kaiser is definatly the heaviest phone i've used, but I don't find it that bad. I thought it was going to be way to heavy, my old eTen m600 a lot lighter, but really I don't mind it at all.

A bit lighter, a bit smaller, a lot thinner, with the bigger screen, the better keyboard layout and we have a winner.

I can't wait to see the phones out in 2010!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zippyioa:
As a long standing HTC user I have been happy with the MDA Vario III overall but the display problems and poor quality camera (slow screen refresh etc) have been a BIG disapointment. The poor response from HTC has been even worse and what appears to be a complete lack of customer service has really

put me off them!

I am certainly looking forward to checking out the XPERIA X1 in the flesh..

Sony have generally delivered a good solid handset in the past and the battery life and camera are often excellent too. As long as they get the whole package to come together and the initial feedback is good I will consider letting my Vario III go.

The only issue for me will be that I am currently only 5 months into a contract with T-Mobile so I will need to get a SIM free or go for a second contract. Oh the price we pay for technological advances! :rolleyes:

Zippyioa
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] _Alex_:
Rather than listen to the hype, I'd need to see it and test drive it.

It's gotta be head and shoulders above what the Kaiser has to offer, because I'm not the type of guy to upgrade just to have the latest.

Good thing my last HTC device was a Blue Angel and not a Wizard or Hermes, or I'd still be using it :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bapssystupr3m3:
personally i dont really care HOW much of an upgrade it is from TytnII to X1...of course it'd be nice if all the problems of the tytnii be fixed in the x1 but i just like to try new phones...so i will try out the x1...if i dont like it..worst case is go back to the tytnii...so no lost
