[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] maxie.maverick:
I updated my T-Mobile Note-8 to Oreo (CRC2) via OTA update. Ever since my "camera keeps stopping" after taking a pic.. Anybody else here with similar experience?

Things I already tried:

1. Cleared system cache, did NOT work.

2. Cleared camera app cache/data, did NOT work.

3. Cleared gallery app cache/data, did NOT work.

4. Changed to internal/phone memory storage (in the camera settings), did NOT work.

5. Tried safe mode & camera still crashed, did NOT work.

Quick google search says many other people are facing this issue (different devices). I'm surprised there is NO posts here asking about this...

My only option at this point is to do a complete factory reset. But I hate doing that because of all the setup steps involved in making it behave correctly (as I like it).

Any help appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] SiNJiN76:
I had Samsung Experience Home keep FCing on me. Had to do a reset. Sucked. 1 other thing you might want to try is to go into Recovery mode and clear the cache there...and see if it helps you. (didn't work for me).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] maxie.maverick:
Yeah, that's what I did in step 1. Didn't make any difference, camera still crashes...

I guess factory reset and setting up the device from scratch is my only option at this point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] maxie.maverick:
Can anyone please post a working version of the stock Samsung Camera APK that works on Oreo (CRC2)?

Help appreciated... Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
From JaguarXT inn another thread. Maybe this is why:

" Just be aware that there are problems with the current Oreo version for the Note 8. That is the reason why T-Mobile stopped sending out that version of Oreo Android to Note 8 devices right now. The last I heard of is that Samsung went to Google for help on the problems. So both Google and Samsung engineers are working on this.

You might want to wait until they send a version of Oreo Android for Note 8 that has the problems fixed."
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] rile1564:
I took the Oreo update the day it was pushed. I immediately factory reset and everything, including the camera, works perfectly. For the other Note 8 variants that recieved Oreo, and had problems; a factory reset fixed 99.9% of the issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] JaguarXT:
Factory Data Reset is where my problems began. That end up Samsung telling this information and wanting to flash me back to Nugget until they fix this issue.

I was on OTA CRC2 Samsung stock Oreo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] maxie.maverick:
Yeah, I had to factory reset as well... I used SmartSwitch to backup the phone on to my external SD card and then factory reset, wiped clean & installed CRC2 using Odin and then restored using Smart Switch app.

It sucked to do things all over again, but the phone seems reasonably behaved again!

I am trying to connect to vpn in Oreo BTU UK but i cant click OK as nothing happens and upon checking app permission there is nothing there its like they forgot to add full set of permission in the BTU version of Oreo.

Can anyone else connect to vpn networks in BTU Oreo ?

If you look at the picture you can see there is a OK and a Cancel button and Ok dont work but Cancel however works fine.

I have tried 2 vpn apps now and its the same issue.

Can someone please try and let me know if its just me or is this a Oreo but ?

Btw i am on stock Rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] willcor:
We'll, I'm on Oreo and on stock, not rooted.

I have Adguard vpn setup and if i

check Adguard app info it states

"not allowed"..... yet Adguard vpn set up

and working fine.

Most probably a Oreo issue

See screenshots
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ultramag69:
A VPN will need the phone permission, at least, as it is transmitting information to/from the internet.

I have an unbranded 950F from Australia and it works well though I tend to turn on/off the VPN manually...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Zionator:
Well i am not sure how adguard works but nord vpn needs permission to create vpn on phone and without me clicking Ok it wont work and even by tapping on OK 10 times nothing happens so i always end up tapping cancel.

not sure why this is.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] willcor:
Yes, another point is, that i also had Adguard vpn

request (same as your screenshot no 4) which i granted.

Point is that I'm just trying to help point similar issues out that might help.?

post note

if you look at my screenshots Adguard app info,

it says premission "blocked"

Then if you look at my screenshot list(previous post) of premissions , i did not grant any of them.? Yet they listed?

Only premission/toggle i can grant is "storage"

However as stated above, my app info says premission block.?

So yes I'm also getting more confused

with this.

Good luck

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] weirdoku:
Hi all.

Hoping someone can provide some help.

I have a SM-G930FD and I am on Superman rom ver 1.19.1. The phone had been restarting at random times more recently so I thought to do a clean flash through TWRP to the same 1.19.1 rom (it worked for me and I didn't need any new features etc from newer roms).

So I rebooted into recovery, did a clean wipe, select install rom, go through aroma as usual selecting/deselecting things, install rom. But for some reason the phone freezes at exactly 27.50%. I had to hold power+down+home to reboot the phone then power+up+home to get into TWRP. I have tried flashing the same rom again several times but freezes at 27.50% again. If I don't select any tweaks and all stock options in aroma I get to 65% but always freeze at 65%.

The only thing I can do at the moment is restore. Luckily I did a full backup in TWRP prior to flashing. But even the restore had been crashing at random % progress and I have to force restart several times for the restore to complete. Right now my phone is restored to the same state before I tried flashing. It still random restarts.

I also tried flashing to the lastest 2.9 Superman rom. Updated BL and CP through Odin and installed latest TWRP too. But guess what, it also freezes at 27.50% during the rom install. I also tried flashing the Ultimate Nougat Rom V2.6 but guess what, freezes at 25% on multiple attempts.

I tried flashing from 2 different microsd cards and also tried flashing from internal memory. All freezes at either 27.50% or 25% or 65%.

If someone can help I would really appreciate it! The S7 is my secondary phone, it's not the end of the world if I can't update to a newer rom, but I would like to be able to solve why!

Hi

My whatsapp backup was corrupted, I extracted it from Google Drive

Then .dump into a sql file, fixed the errors

Recompile into a repair db, which works because it can be viewed on the WhatsappViewer.exe

Since the db is not encrypted, how do I restore it in my own phone?

Can msgstore.db be placed inside /data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/ of my own phone? Will it work without the msgstore.db being crypted with crypt12?

Hi, I am having the same problem as with restoring my Whatsapp history and wondered if any kind soul can help me to restore my Whatsapp history?

What I had done :

I had my S8 rooted. The whole phone was wipe when it was rooted. I hope this step is correct.

My encrypted backup (crypt12 and crypt14) was saved already before I rooted and I also need a backup of my phone (just not the application data because the Dr Fone software mentioned that my S8 needed to be rooted before I can backup my application data)

But I couldnt find the folders mentioned here :

/data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/msgstore.db

Can anyone guide me pls?
[Android General] beracheng:
Hello, since you rooted your phone it wiped out all data.

So you msgstore.db is actually crypt12 and crypt14 data.

Don't root unless you have all your items.

It wipes the key as well.

I do think key don't exist anymore and login happens in keystore.xml with static client

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7671171:
Just wondering if this would work.

I know it doesn't support signature spoofing by default, but there's a patcher for that. So, once I patch it, would OxygenOS or OxygenOS based ROMs work with MicroG?

Would it conflict with already installed GApps on Oxygen? Is there a way to not have any GApps at all on TheOne3TOS?

Also, the reason why I wouldn't just use OmniROM - why is OxygenOS so much smoother and faster, in the UI and games? Is there a specific reason for that?

Thanks :)
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
I actually tried to patch OOS to make it work with microG, it was nothing but a big pain in the a... back. If you mean patching framework, then this requires deodexed ROM and deodexing OOS makes it practically unusable (massive amounts of ANRs, crashes, slow as hell, it took nearly 10-15 minutes to see the homescreen after booting). If you though mean patching by Xposed, then it didn't work well too; it actually booted fine, but couldn't get GCM and UnifiedNlp to work (and Google Maps showed my location somewhere in Africa), and since I need a reliable phone, I reverted to Google's services.

tl;dr: you may try with Xposed module called FakeGapps and microG zip.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7671171:
That's too bad, would try Xposed but then I don't pass safety net. Oh well, hopefully I can find a ROM as quick and smooth as OxygenOS.

I'm not sure about the "Uncertified" status because I never checked, but I suspect you are having the same issue many other owners have after updating to 7.1.1.

Btw I registered the uncertified devices now at https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/. But nothing changed in a positive way. On X90F sometimes over night play store runs and apps were updated. With X90F I always I have to stop play services and play store, delete cache and play store data. Then, after restart apps were updated too.

On both devices are running the identical apps and on my old Nexus7 (LineageOS Android 7.1.2) with same apps, activated builtin administrators and AdGuard-VPN all works flawlessly :good:
