It's only advertisement. Nothing more. Companies pay Samsung or other manufacturers for pre install their apps.

If anti-virus apps are good or bad(in terms of identifying virus, malware, etc.) can only be said if you study av-tests. And you'll never know if they successful detect upcoming viruses. But in my opinion avast is one of the best.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AB__CD:
So I tried to flash Android Oreo earlier today on Odin and it failed at first so then I switch to an older version of Odin and try again it said past but it only says PASS 00:02.

I booted into recovery and it said Android 8.0 .0 but when I tried turning it on IT said that device update has failed and I needed to use Smart Switch emergency recovery mode.

I return to the original version of Odin I was using, switched the cable switch the USB port and it didn't normal update procedure took 3 minutes 38 seconds and the device went through normal process like update installing, the blue android robot, all the normal stuff , but as of right now it has been stuck on the Samsung logo for 15 minutes maybe I recall from flashing nougat that the phone stays on the Samsung logo for quite a while but 15 minutes seems like a really worryingly long time.

So is it successful and I just have to keep waiting? Or time to go back to the drawing board?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] profi_fahrer:
Do you have wiped your data? If not, try this, because maybe the Phone wont boot into 7.0, if Android 8.0 was installed.

If this doesn't work, try the Emergency recovery in Smart Switch.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] licensedtoquill:
I just replaced the battery on my S6. Putting it back together I broke the sim tray.

I ordered another but it took a month to arrive. During that time the phone was plugged in most of the time and was working fine.

When I put the sim in, the screen went black. The two touch-capacitors below the screen light up & are working and I can hear the phone working.

(there are two very small hairline fractures at the upper left corner which have never caused any problems before)

Is this some known problem with the S6 or with that crack impacting some critical connector for the whole centre part of the screen or is it more likely that some screen connecting plug has come loose inside please?

I have recently changed the default install location to 2(external) via adb console using commands like adb devices, adb shell pm set-install-location 2 etc. And when im trying to install some app i get error and info that i need to free up some memory, when i got 32gb inserted, its worth to mention that my phone is Samsung Wave with the freshest version of omni rom 4.4.4 installed.

[Magisk] hakamin:
Hi.

I own a BQ X5 Plus with android 7.1.1 rooted with Magisk v16. The problem is that when making a backup of the user or system applications with Titanium Backup Pro 8.1 the phone restarts. I have tried several versions of Titanium and the same thing happens. This did not happen to me before using SuperSU. Is there any incompatibility between Magisk and Titanium?

Any application like Titanium to make and restore applications and configurations?

Thank you
[Magisk] flipmode_11:
Please provide specific information and logs w/ exact date and time of restart. If you have used the device since the issue, clear your logs and repeat the process that triggers the reboot problem with Titanium. I am running Magisk 16.3 + Manager 5.70 with Titanium Backup and have no issues.

You may wish to contact the Titanium developers and ascertain what logs they require to also investigate the issue.

There are ample alternatives to Titanium backup (that backup system apps, backup app data, freeze apps, etc). Search: backup app data (maybe?)

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76396169&postcount=5641
[Magisk] hakamin:
Hi. I'm pretty new to these issues. If you tell me how to do a log, I'll send it to you.

I have contacted the people of Titanium, I am waiting for your response.

On the other hand I would appreciate it if you were more precise about the use of other backup applications. Some in particular that allows to make backup of apk / data / configurations like titanium. Thank you.
[Magisk] rignfool:
You can try AppVault from JMZ software...

It REQUIRES BusyBox... Without it you won't get app data... So you'll need either osm0sis's BusyBox for magisk or stericsons BusyBox installer... Or be on LOS...
[Magisk] hakamin:
Thank you. I tell you what I have done, I think I have it solved.

1- Install AppVault, but I did not like it very much. Very far from Titanium.

2- Remove Magisk and put SuperSU. I made a backup and same problem, restarts ..... that means that the problem is Titanium. It's weird since I used SuperSU + Titanium months ago and had no problems.

3- This morning I decided to modify two parameters in Titanium:

Menu / preferences / compression level: I have put it in LZO, before I was in GZIP

Menu / preferences / advanced application control: I have deactivated it, I think this was the problem.

Now I can try returning to the level of compression that I had before and eliminating SuperSU and putting Magisk.

I'll tell you if it works.

Thank you all.
[Magisk] hakamin:
Hi.

SOLVED. I have reinstalled Magisk and with the changes I made in titanium it works perfect.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] CleverFogs:
Does anyone use this phone on full brightness and if so what is the battery life like? just curious because i'm thinking about using it on 100%

Thanks :P
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] mhaha:
Dude I'm sure using it at 100% brightness will kill your retina before it kills your battery.

Seriously though, I think they made some changes to the brightness setting in one of the more recent firmwares, because it shines with the intensity of a thousand suns now at 100%, compared to what I remember it's like originally. I used to set it at 50% brightness, now it's at 25% or so but with the same perceived luminosity level (non-scientific of course).

Do you really need it at 100% constantly?

When I sync my dash with my Vista Desktop, I see the following errors at times

Notification - Cannot execute Tskschedule.exe

- Cannot execute repllog.exe

- Cannot execute connmgr.exe

- Cannot execute calnote.exe

Anyone seen these errors. I downgraded to Windows Mobile Device Center 6.0 on Vista, but I still see the error. I did not see them in brightpoint ROM.

If I disconnect & reconnect to the usb, it works, but I do get these errors every other time..

Thanks in advance
[HTC Excalibur] SirKeats:
what are you using to sync? activesync doesn't work with vista.
[HTC Excalibur] sunjay:
I am using Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1
[HTC Excalibur] sunjay:
I reverted back to the old ROM (Brightpoint) and now I dont see those errors.

Anyone here using win 6.1 ROM and has synced with their VISTA desktop successfully ?

-Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] kavana:
First of all I hate VISTA...:eek:

Second no problem in WindowsXP with my WM6.1 ROM

Third Tskschedule.exe is only added from WM6.1,so maybe vista haven't get ready to support WM6.1
[HTC Excalibur] sunjay:
Kavana .. I could not agree more. I have it working on XP. But it has been frustrating on VISTA

btw, Thanks a ton for the ROM..

-sunjay
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
has there been any progress with this... as my vista laptop will not see my dash anymore :(
[HTC Excalibur] HollowKnight:
I got the same problem as Sunjay. Now only can connect with Vista/WMDC6.1 by luck. I got 2 Excaliburs, the one with Original WM5 never has problems connecting with Vista/WMDC6.1.
[HTC Excalibur] sunjay:
I am still researching.. Have not made much headway yet.

From what I understood from reading other forums on similar issues. There my be duplicate Notifications which may be causing this.. However, I did try using SKTools (demo version), and went thru notification events to check for duplicates, There were a couple of entries for the same program, but they seem to occur for different conditions.

I have also posted in the Micro$oft forums, hoping to get some clue

-Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
very odd....

On whim, I re-installed WMDC 6.1 (x64) downloaded directly from the MS download center... and all of a sudden no more problems/ The only thing, is the WMDC recognizes the phone as a dopod 720w. But it works a treat...

I hope that helps (the x86 wdmc 6.1 is also available... but you probably new this)
[HTC Excalibur] sunjay:
I will give it a shot and see if it help. In the meantime, Please post if it works or fails after your prolonged use..

[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
I did get this error and i was using WinXP Activesync v 4.5 . but i only got it once. and only once. i just thought it was a glitch , but now it seems this may be some sort of issue, just that it doesn't happen often enough for me to downgrade back to WM 6.0 ... if it starts to happen again i will re-post

Update: I guess i spoke to soon. It happened again, but something that i was doing on my PC both times it happened was i had windows media player opened on my PC and i was playing a video stream at the same time on media player. Coincedence?
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
very interesting:

two questions: what OS are you using (xp or vista) and what edition of WMDC center are you using (6.1)?
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
If you look at my post i say that im using winXP and activesync 4.5(so im not using wmdc as it is only for vista) with WMP11
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
I did look, and the aforementioned is what had me confused... as the OP was regarding VISTA. I was trying to simply ascertain if the problem was not "OS-centric" and was occurring on multiple OS'

Which I guess it is...

Sorry for the confusion... as the solution that I happened along to was vista only.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
I know you're looking for a vista fix. just know that are also issues similar when using win XP too . Although they may not be directly linked together , nor will the fix for both OS's neccessarily be the same. these might end up being the same problem, but different ways to create the problem, thus different fixes for the problem, depending on your OS

Lastly, this may have something to to with what i call "interoperability with 3rd party programs on a new OS" issues. Sometimes certain "combinations of programs" installed on a phone can create these issues.
[HTC Excalibur] MKDaMan1818:
This happened for me using XP as well, I don't really know what the issue is, because it synced properly before.
[HTC Excalibur] sunjay:
It works now !!

I got it to work now Thanks to Poser's suggestion in the earlier post. This is what I did

- De-install everything from VISTA which is windows mobile related (WMDC 6.1 & it had an entry for some mobile driver update)

- Rebooted the desktop

- Downloaded the WMDC 6.1 from download.microsoft.com. The filename is drvupdate-x86.exe for WMDC 6.1

- Installed the above software & rebooted.

- Has synced everytime since without errors.

I will post back if I see any errors..

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
@Pudge - gotcha. Yeah sometimes to many "cooks" can spoil the soup...

I hope that you can find a fix.... have you considered upgrading to XP sp3 (I think you can dig up torrents and/or reg hacks to allow you to see it via Windows update). Also a re-install of active sync could be in order

@Sunjay... sweet dude, let me know if it continues to remain stable.
[HTC Excalibur] bryangopan:
Not pretty sure what exactly is happening with your device , but what you can try is first back up your contacts what you have on ure phone using pimback up and under " Mobile device settings , go to Manage a partnership " and change " if there is a conflict change it to replace items on desktop "

this would work only if the device has actually started synching and then you are getting the error.:)

I am running a wm6.1 IN MY gENE ( HTC P3400) AND SYNCHS WELL IN MY LAPTOP WHICH RUNS ON VISTA ULTIMATE .

I got these errors with TNT series. Then someone said I should flash rom with SD card removed. I did that and still got the error.

Who's tempted? :angel:

No mention of 8" version though :crying:
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] pastorbob62:
Only if my S2 dies. Right now it is running fine and meeting all of my needs. It's only 16 months old. Besides, given past experience the the introductory price will be too high.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] martytoo:
I'm curious about new products because the current sale on S2 and S3 tablets seems to be a clearance.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] OhioYJ:
I bought two more Tab S2s (T813s) just last month. Its more important to me to have the ability to run Lineage than the latest hardware. So no a Tab S4 really doesn't interest me unless I see some development for it. Based on how the other new Samsung phones / devices have been, I'm not holding my breath.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] hasenbein1966:
Bought my S2 in December 2015.

Still running perfectly fine.

Especially I like the very low weight which adds to the universal usability of this device.

Unfortunately the S4 will be significantly heavier, and NO other tablet in the 10" range with <400g weight is in sight... so I hope my S2 will work for another 2 years...
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Masteryates:
For me, most of my current T715 is fine, and has been for the last 2 years. On an 8" S4, (not that one exists,) I'd like the same form factor and weight, a new battery, SD835, always on FP sensor and 4GB ram.

Things like a glass back, facial recognition, increased weight, don't interest me.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] xuanphucn:
its a no from me until they start putting the latest chipset on their tablet. I'm not paying premium price tag for last year chipset.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] sacto7:
Was tempted but since no 8 so disregarded it. Tried to find availability of the Huawei 8.4 & found none. So got the S2; it is now 2 weeks. I use it for reading books & got it because Amazon had it for sale at $289 which pushed me over. My ASUS Zenpad S3 10 is very nice &, for me, much better than the iPad 9.7; but both are too "heavy" & awkward.

Also decided to resurrect my Tab Pro with the RRMix & have sent for a battery replacement since it was going down 30% in 24 hrs in sleep mode; think it is worst now & will see if the it remains the same when the battery arrives in 5 days.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] stoatbroker:
Man, how much did you pay for them? I want to pull the trigger on one so bad, but I just can't at the current prices, especially when they'll tank in a few months with the release of the S4...
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] tonybhoy:
had my tab for about 1.5 years,happy with it,i only stream football and read books,does the job
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] OhioYJ:
I just checked both the ones I just bought were $349, both T813, the 9.7" ones. These last two were for my wife and son. I believe mine I actually picked up for $299, but that was back when the S3 had come out IIRC.

I bought one on Amazon for my son. Then when I decided I wanted a second one for my wife, they had already sold out, so I picked up a second one on eBay (it was new sealed).
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] jshamlet:
My T813 is still running great, so I'm not really in the market for a tablet right now. Maybe, if the S3 drops in price sufficiently, I might upgrade to it to get the pen, but otherwise, I'm good.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] gantagavin:
In my country, Indonesia, secondhand Tab S2 9.7 will set you back Rp1.450.000,00 (which translates to around $105). But it has a caveat, the screen has shadow problem (but still, i can bear it for that kind of price!)
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] OhioYJ:
Had I found any used ones for that price I might had considered it. In my area most people ask $300 for a used one. (Seriously, two in my area right now for sale, both $300) For the price it would be dumb not to buy a brand new one for only $50 more. These replaced our Nexus 7 (2013 models) which I did pick up 2 of the 3 used reasonably locally.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Phreaker47:
My play might be to wait for the eventual S3 price drop and pick one up to replace my 0G Tab S.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] no.cannabis:
I'm just praying they will make a smaller model of S4. 16/9 would be a gift as well.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] wintermute000:
They need to give us an option priced equivalent to the 'normal' ipad and stop pretending that it can go head-to-head with the Pro line. Pen is nice and all but there's just not enough software to justify it.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] jshamlet:
Yes, but this is Samsung, and they think they are the Apple of the Android world. Arguably, they shouldn't be charging iPhone money for the Galaxy S series either. My wife's 6S plus performs better than my S7 Edge in almost every way, to the point I have even considered getting her a new phone and taking her old one. The keyboard/app lag on the Galaxy devices is absurd for a device costing that much. Just texting from my device is an exercise in frustration compared to her phone or even my old HTC One M8.

The irony is that they could dramatically improve the performance of their devices by doing LESS. Drop TouchWiz, lightly skin AOSP, and maybe do a custom launcher. It's infuriating.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] sparksd:
I like my 8" Tab S2 and my S7 Edge phone but my 10.5" iPad Pro blows away any Android device I've ever had (and I've had a lot since Android's intro). Outstanding performance and stability and a whole lot of very polished apps. iOS was difficult to adjust to but I've found ways to do anything I wanted to get done with a tablet. It would take something very special to get me to invest in a new Android tablet again (but I'll stick to Android phones and will continue to use the S2 Tab as a mini tablet).
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] jshamlet:
Agreed on iOS being slicker than Android. Unfortunately, that means buying into the Apple ecosystem, because anything "not Apple" is either not supported, or not supported well. In my case, I use Chromecast devices a lot, especially the Chromecast Audio. While there are a few apps for casting to them on iOS, none of them are great (save for VLC, which isn't iOS specific). The alternative would be to replace all those devices with AppleTVs, which would be prohibitively expensive at the moment.

Of course, I'm a power user, so iOS is a poor fit for me anyway. I like that I can setup impromptu servers to move files back and forth between my Android devices, that I can run a different launcher (almost invariably Nova launcher), etc. In fact, the biggest thing keeping me on Android is the fact that I can move files around trivially between devices or servers without having to deal with iTunes or some other app. Just trying to organize music, video, and e-books on my iPad was enough to make me switch to the Tab S2 in the first place.

Every time I get fed up with Android's quirks (or Samsung's quirks), or I pick up one of my family's iPads, I inevitably run into one of the limitations that made me go with Android in the first place.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] sparksd:
Yeah, I hear you. I've gone minimal into the Apple ecosystem - for a TV connection I use the Lightning-HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable. For moving files, I never use iTunes but rather the FileBrowser file manager app that supports wireless connections (SMB for what I do). I also use non-Apple apples for music and photos. I always rooted and custom ROM'd my Android devices - I'm a retired S/W Systems engineer with the time and expertise - but I've moved on from that and have kept the S2 and S7 Edge both stock and have everything else stuffed away in boxes. I also use Nova - a nice launcher.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] diehard2013:
4gb of RAM?

snappy 835?

pass....
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] wintermute000:
yeah and the irony is you can get the bottom end surface pro at these prices. This is what I ended up doing. Its a 'real' PC as well as a tablet, kills anything Sammy or Apple. I'm now a surface convert
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Masteryates:
Seeing some videos on Youtube now, I'm more interested in the S4 than I thought I would be. I like the idea of running in DeX mode. I don't like the screen ratio, the lack of RAM or the lack of a FP scanner however.

For the right price a year down the line, could be tempted.....
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] pacc:
IMO, don't waste your time or money on any Samsung product because of DEX, it's still very early days, and Samsung will forget your tab S4 in about 2 years.

Adapting to DEX is not worth your time, because it's not as future proof as Windows, IOS, MACOS or Linux.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] nolook:
this product is pretty tempting but I'm not sold on the pricing, keyboard quality, older cpu, lack of fingerprint reader, limited support after two years...i guess I'll consider a surface or chromebook for my next tablet.
