Hi all

I hope that this is the correct place for this post. If not, please point me in the right direction.

I recently aquired an iphone 7 from the lost property cage in the hotel where I work. The date it was found was around late november early December last year or there about. So since this phone had been in the cage for more than the standard 90 days I asked my manager if I could take it and he agreed so Im now lawfully in possession of this phone.

Anyway.. Once I got the phone started, it was ofcourse password protected. I didn't particularly want to gain access to the original owners personal data so found out how to reset the phone and wipe it clean using itunes. However...once I tried to start it up it was asking me for name and password again saying that the phone is linked to an Apple ID.

I've been searching and searching for how to find a way to seperate the phone from the Apple id account and although most online info suggests that its impossible and the phone may as well be thrown out, I have been told by others that it IS actually possible to "hard reset" the phone somehow so that I can use it.

So basically Im here as a last resort to see if there is anyone who can help me save this phone from the trash?

I am willing to pay to have it done professionally if it is actually possible to do.

thanks in advance for any help

As already mentioned this is an ANDROID forum not an APPLE or IPHONE forum hence you won't have majority of people here caring about your problem ;)

It's like the question of how to install twrp on my galaxy S8 in apple forums...

Nevertheless, yeah its true, the phone is linked to the apple id, therefore, you can try recovery mode to remove the pass code https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204306

Do you mean RR.O hellsgate fixes the issue?

I do not understand your post.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] atakan33:
OP updated.Not only flash Hellsgate.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] del_piero3:
hello all, i tried the fix on my RR-O 20180422 with hellsgate 2.1 from kraoner, it isn't still not working for me, i don't have any audio using the second sim.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dodgexander:
This isn't the bug you are thinking of.

The bug you have is related to dual sim.

Right now on oreo you can only make a call to the sim you are currently using data with. It is a

separate

bug.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] del_piero3:
hello,

thanks for your answer, then i didn't understand what the fix was made for.

Do we know already when the bug i am talking about will be fix roughly ? It is pretty annoying because the rest of the ROM works really good ...
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2000impreza:
Can anyone confirm if the OP's fix (Kernel and Mixer.zip) works for fixing the call bug? I previously tested a few of the common Oreo builds on my A2017U and ran into the 'call bug' with just about every build. It happened to me most often with incoming calls where I had to turn the speaker on and off to workaround it. I just finished flashing my Axon 7 or I would test this myself.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dodgexander:
No one seems to be able to fix it. All you can do is pray there is an official release from ZTE and someone is able to source a fix then. I have same problem as you and I hate it but there is nothing that can be done. Best to assume there will be no fix.

I don't have any problems even without this zip using the latest AEX on oreo but as far as I know this has never been announced as being fixed so it wouldn't surprise me that it still exists.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] del_piero3:
As far as i know, the A2017G was supposed to get an official Oreo rom by end of this month, should arrive quite soon. The thing is that A2017 from China already have an official Oreo Rom, and i don't think these 2 phones have such different hardware component in it, don't you think ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dodgexander:
Yes but it's not really easy for someone to use the phone in Chinese and see if these bugs are there. If there is any chance of them being solved having an official English release will help more than an unofficial Chinese one.

With things to do with mobile networking this is even more the case which the dual sim bug is probably related to. (There are different basebands that the U & G models work with for example).
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
i don't really understand what you're saying..?

The A2017 build obviously comes with other languages, why would you think otherwise (or not even check before saying that)? ?

Now, it being crap is beyond the scope of this comment of course
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dodgexander:
That's okay, I have yet to grasp what you are saying either.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
all right, let's help each other

The Chinese ROMs come with English language, so nobody needs to use their phone in Chinese

Your dual sim statement is pretty weird
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] bravecookie:
Hi, guys

So, I have a Xiaomi Mi 5 (gemini) 3/64. So, my phone suddenly showed com.android.systemui has stopped and it began to restart it self and now, my phone can't be used. (still able to boot up, but can't be opened on lockscreen). I could only restart/shut down my phone. I'm using 9.5.2.0 Global Stable ROM. Not rooted, but I've unlocked my bootloader. And this happened twice. I tried to format my phone, first it was working just fine and after a couple of days, that message showed again. So, I decided to install a custom ROM but I haven't turned on my usb debugging. If you guys have any suggestions/questions/solution related to my problem please comment!

Thanks,

p.s: sorry if my English is bad.
[Elephone S8  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Plowmanx:
Looks a lot like our device but they've moved to a Snapdragon 660 chipset and will offer a 128Gb model. Also they've moved the fingerprint button to the side and replaced the rear camera with dual 13 Megapixel ones.

Details delivered with an *outrageous* Chinese accent at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U19reNEiE-c after the ugly A4 notch job. Really that design was braindead when Apple did it - no idea why anyone would copy it!

I say this is bad news because Elephone is unlikely to bother with an Oreo release for the non-pro when they've changed chipset already ...
[Elephone S8  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MarkOssi:
And how is that bad news?

It looks nice, sadly no 3,5mm jack connection, so it's a no go for me.

https://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=14242&extra=page=1&mobile=2
[Elephone S8  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Plowmanx:
Actually, no, the update isn't out. It's an "alternative" 7.1.1 ROM that according to the reviews on the elephone site breaks more than it fixes.

I'm one of the lucky ones whose phone functions well as it is. I remain vulnerable to a host of security flaws because Elephone have refused to publish the source for this phone, which means the phone can't be supported by the open developer community. And that's a worse problem than the fact that Elephone won't release the updates they promised. Shame.
[Other SmartWatches] brainflurry:
I've recently purchased a No. 1 D7 because it supposedly had NFC support. I've sideloaded apps such as NFC Check by Tapkey, Check NFC and NFC enabled. All of these apps report that NFC is "not enabled", "Unsupported" or "NFC Module not detected".

Does NFC need to be turned on? Everything I've read indicates that any toggle for NFC would be located under "Wireless and Connections" in Android settings. But, the No. 1 D7 runs FunOS (an Android variant) and there is no such setting. The only sections are "Internet Connections" and "Wireless & networks". There is no NFC toggle under these sections.

I did notice the "Mobile networks" is grayed out under "Wireless & networks" because I currently do not have a SIM inserted. I'm wondering if the NFC toggle may be under that section. Does NFC for this watch require a SIM card to be installed?

I'm attempting to use the No. 1 D7 smartwatch to read NFC tags but nothing happens when I hold a written tag against the watch. The same NFC tag causes other NFC devices to respond, if only an audible tone. Also, nothing happens when I hold one of those other NFC enabled devices such as a Samsung S7 next to the D7 smartwatch.

So, does the No. 1 D7 actually have NFC? Or, could it be a non-standard specialty implementation of NFC that's limited to applications such as certain door locks or their Pure NFC app?
[Other SmartWatches] brainflurry:
I just found an old Nano SIM card and inserted it. The No. 1 D7 smartwatch detects the SIM card and the correct carrier but there are still no new NFC options under "Mobile networks" or "Wireless & networks". And, it also still doesn't react to written NFC tags. So, I don't think the SIM card has any effect on the NFC function.

I'm wondering whether this watch really has NFC. Is there any other way to tell? Is there anyway to generate an installed hardware report or something like that? Has anyone else used NFC with this watch?
[Other SmartWatches] Reverend-Tooly:
I have had the same issue,i bought the smartwatch specifically because it had this feature but upon arrival every app that uses NFC will prompt me with a window telling me that my device does not support NFC.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan_A:
Pretty simple problem that's screwing me over at the moment, I wiped my phone to install LOS, flashed it and GAPPS, no luck booting, tried rebooting multiple times, it kept going back to recovery. I flashed the latest TWRP, then went to copy over the ROM to flash again and now I can't copy files over when storage is mounted in TWRP. Further, I'm unable to push files using ADB, even though the phone is showing up under ADB devices. ADB push results in this...

adb push lineage-15.1-20180416-CHINEEL-shamu.zip /data
failed to copy 'lineage-15.1-20180416-CHINEEL-shamu.zip' to 'C:/Program Files/Git/data': No such file or directory

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] railfan-eric:
I bought a refurbished phone off ebay with the Verizon logo on it but unlocked version of android without Verizon software and wifi calling. Was phones sold new with the Verizon logo and unlocked version of android? Does the GS7 have wifi calling for Verizon? I can't find the option in the settings. My G6 has wifi calling.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
To my best knowledge only the G930U (non carrier) comes from the factory unlocked, if yours is Verizon (G930V) it would have sold new as locked on Verizons firmware, and someone has unlocked it afterwards.

They should have VoLTE and VoWIFI, you just need to make sure your carriers CSC is flashed on the device. If it's refurbished unlocked it's probably on unlocked CSC so won't have any carrier features.

Try getting the latest firmware package for your carrier from sammobile.com or updato.com, and flash ONLY the home_csc via Odin.

All US models are the same SoC, so even if your phone is the Verizon version, you can flash any other carriers firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] railfan-eric:
Thanks. I have another question. Will the unlocked version be better to have and will it get Oreo sooner then the Verizon version?

I haven't flashed a firmware before. have some links bookmarked for doing this to this phone. I guess i would have to reset my phone and reinstall everything.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
I would expect the unlocked version to release first since the firmware doesn't have to go through carriers own changes and verification, but that's only a guess.

But since the SoC is the same, you could technically flash the Oreo firmware from whichever phone gets it first, you'd just have to put up with the carriers bloatware.

There's a good flash guide on updato.com for Odin, from memory if you flash all files using home_csc and it's the same version or newer it doesn't wipe. But I've never tried it that way myself.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] railfan-eric:
here's what my about phone screen shows. Would that be stock or flashed by the seller or whomever? It shows my phone its the U version instead out the V version. View attachment 4484590
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Boot into download mode and check, the phone information page will be wrong if the phone is flashed with firmware that's different to its stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] railfan-eric:
I finally tried to flash the files and using home_csc but it still says 930U and the software is still the BRC1 not the BRC3 and the settings menu isn't the verizon style. I'm not sure what changed. the flash was successful though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
You might find the stock CSC needs to be flashed for those changes, since it triggers a full wipe. I'm not sure the model would change either way.

So long as you get the functionality you want you should be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] railfan-eric:
It has VOLTE enabled in the settings. is that HD Voice for Verizon?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Yep, from their faq:

"HD Voice is a suite of services enabled by VoLTE (Voice over LTE) technology. VoLTE delivers voice calls over the 4G LTE network instead of the traditional voice network, providing clearer, more natural sounding audio when both parties are using HD Voice-enabled phones that are connected to our 4G LTE network."
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] railfan-eric:
I can't remember if the setting was there before. Does all the unlocked versions have that feature? I don't think i had it before because my phone signal is weak and mom says I cut out when i move around.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
I believe it's only there if you have the CSC of a carrier that has it enabled, it's not there on mine at all for example. But I have a G930F which is international, different SoC and firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] railfan-eric:
Wait I got confused. I was thinking of wifi calling when i was posting last night. I made a phone call today and it was waiting for a good signal before dialing. Any ideas? I was hoping to use wifi calling since i get a weak signal with this phone. my LG G6 got a stronger signal in the same spot at the computer desk then this GS7. The G6 has wifi calling in the settings but not this phone.

https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-203686/

Since I don't have the option myself I can't tell you where the setting should be, but these might help. They're technically different services, so are enabled separately.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] railfan-eric:
Since I'm on the unlocked version I don't have the Verizon style setup menu so I can't find it. I don't see Wifi calling in the settings at all. I do find a Smart Network Switch in the advanced settings for the Wifi. is that the same as Wifi calling?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] quasihellfish:
(fixed S7 typo)

You will need to flash the Verizon version of the stock firmware (SM-G930V) in order to get VoLTE and WiFi calling on Verizon's network. Every carrier is different, and this is usually one of those features that require their own firmware build in order to get it to work. If you have the Unlocked version (SM-G930U) then Wifi call may work on other carrier's networks, but it won't work on Verizon.

I'm currently using a Verizon purchased S7, that I flashed to the Unlocked version SM-G930U. Wifi calling works for me because I'm on T-Mobile's network (with Mint Mobile). If I inserted a Verizon SIM then I wouldn't be able to use their Wifi calling without flashing the firmware back.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] railfan-eric:
I just flashed it with the verizon firmware using the CSC instead of the home_csc and it erased everything installed everything but it's still the 930U and nothing in the settings looks like the verizon model. what did i do wrong? looks like i unzipped the wrong one. dang it i have to do it again. rats. i unzipped the u version by accident.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] railfan-eric:
trying to flash it with the verizon rom and i get a ext4 failed each time i try. i am using the home_csc. what am i doing wrong?

update: i tried again with the CSC and that worked. just booted up with the verizon logo so i got it!!! this is my first time to flash roms. i never done it before. too scared and not enough need. but now i know how. can't wait to flash with oreo if it comes sooner then the OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] quasihellfish:
Congrats. But FYI, the only reason you were able to do it so easily is because you were flashing a "Stock" firmware, direct from Samsung and signed by them. You can flash any US stock firmware on any other US model of the Galaxy S7 (the Qualcomm version). So it's really hard to mess up. Flashing any of the "custom" roms in the other threads is an entirely different animal, and not something I personally recommend unless you are truly motivated and know what you are looking for. Lots of opportunity for error, and requires workarounds.

The point I'm getting at is you'll likely get the official OTA update around the same time you would find a version that you would flash, because they come from the same source, and are the exact same files.

Hi All,

I've tried searching the forums, but couldn't quite find what I was looking for.

In my line of work, I have the need to many different complex passwords. Each of which change at different intervals, and have different logins.

I am looking for:

An application which will securely store my passwords on my device. I used to have a fantastic memory, but more recently due to the increase in accounts and password policies, I find I am using the "I forgot my password" routine more frequently. Ideally something I can use on both the main PC and sync with the device would be cool, but not essential.

I've looked at SplashID and CodeWallet Pro.

Are there any applications the folks within XDA Devs can recommend?

Cheers

PS. Don't suggest Post-It's stuck to the monitor, or using my memory!
