The system partition is a little over 3GB, so I can only assume that you are including other files in data. How are you getting the total space used?

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] NZedPred:
You may have a rouge system app that is taking up space. Once Chrome did something on my phone and it end up using something like 4GB of space on its own.

I used AppMgr III to check the size of apps, so maybe try something like that.

When you say "system has been taking 7GB" do you mean the entry in Storage settings that says "Android OS"? 7GB is pretty low actually, mine is 10.29GB
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] widski:
Hi

First off thanks for your help in advance!

I was facing an issue when starting my rooted device (one root device). the error I was getting was: custom binary blocked by frp lock s8

I downloaded the latest firmware; samsung firmware

I used odin v 3.13, followed the steps and it was a success/PASS. In doing so the CSC file I used was the HOME CSC file so no user data would be lost, however, upon restart of the phone it asks for my pin but the pin I was using is no longer working.

Any ideas as to how to fix without losing my data?

Thanks

Hi.

I can flash twrp image but I cant open recovery mode.

To answer your question in the title yes, any software you wish to install on a locked phone must be signed and twrp and custom roms are not.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] ComanDoru:
Hello,

I have three problems with my phone.

1. USB host, a limited version of OTG, as I understand, works only if I plug the USB device before the phone boots. If I connect it after the phone has booted, it doesn't work. Restarting to get a USB keyboard working isn't nice, as you can imagine.

2. If I'm in an area with weak mobile signal, causing the phone to lose conectivity intermittently, it simply refuses to connect after some time, no matter how good the signal is. It has sound interruptions in this no signal mode, and eventually reboots on its own to fix it.

3. Some apps can intercept swipes on the fingerprint sensor and assign them to actions. This doesn't seem to work.

I tried different firmwares and lineage, but those three bugs inisted appearing. I'm not an advanced android developer, but I suppose this means the problems are in the oem or another partition.

My previsible questions are:

Has someone else observed one of more of these behaviours?

Found any fix?

If any dev is reading, what should I do to try to fix those? I already code, just not for android. Alternatively, should I ask this question in another area?

I can't send the phone in warranty.

Thanks.

I recently took out a contract with EE here in the UK.

As part of the deal I get Apple Music free for 6 months, with EE providing the data downloads free, independent of my data subscription.

Problem is that nothing I have downloaded and tried to playback with the Apple Music app works. When selecting a song and pressing play it buffers for 3 - 4 seconds, there's no audio, then it returns to the standby menu for the song.

I've tried all the settings I can think of, both in phone settings and the app settings.

Apple Support have so far been unable to offer a solution, but I'm expecting a call back next week; I'm not optimistic.

In the meantime has anyone here had similar problems, and did you find a fix?

I keep returning to home screen whenever I type too quick while pressing the space bar

This gets very annoying. I've searched for a nav bar to replace the stock one but then my dock apps get hidden behind my nav bars and the keyboard also messes up too.

Is there anything to reduce the size of the nav bar?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] xsacha:
Why not remove the bar entirely? Just use the button. One tap for back, hold for home and swipe for multitasking.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] subhani:
Not as far as I know. There are other options that can help. You can hide it altogether, which is how I have it. Loving it since day one. Or you could get it to hide in a floating dock. Or bring it up only on swipe up, I think.

Hi all,

How does your low-light RAW photos looks like? Mine are awful. Is this normal? I'm running the latest update.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Did you adjust the settings? Doesn't look like. Also be sure to keep flash disabled
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] phxzy:
No, I didn't adjust anything. All on auto. Flash was off.

In daylight the RAW photos aren't sharp either.

In normal mode the photos are awesome.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] schmeggy929:
Well that will contribute to your problem, you are basically just taking a normal photo. Adjust the settings and experiment.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Granite1:
Also RAW photos are really easy to post process with the right software. I remember on the EVO LTE (one x) we had a RAW camera mod that I used some really cool software to post process and took really great photos with.

The RAW photos right out of the box we're very dark and not polished at all. I had to do all of that after the shot was taken.

As far as I know this is the point of RAW photos. The aperture gathers as much data as possible, and the photographer post processes that data as they see fit. Now I'm no pro at all and I could be off base, but that's my basic understanding of it.

If I get some time I'll go lurking around the old android forum I was a MOD on and see what I can find. I had an old friend and mentor on there that we collaborated on quite a bit of this stuff.

did you try and reflashed firmware?? what about sony companion??
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Blackghosthm:
I haved this issue 2 month ago tried everyway is possible to fix it but always failed, I think it's because battery,if. You plug your phone to charger more than 6 hours the led switch to red and if you hold power button you will see a empty battery icon but the problem is come from hardware not software trust me.

The only thing I done is just went to Sony warranty service and gave them my phone and they switched my (unlocked)phone with a locked phone.

well raven, the phone as i mentioned doesn't enter flashmode, how can i perform flash then?

i do not have any sony service in my country which is a problem if i won't be able to fix it without open the back cover (i'm avoiding that) and i wish there would be any other handful solution!

thank you

Just plug your phone to PC wait a few seconds and it will automatically go to flashmode.

Let me tell you something,when my phone is dead i was able to go into flashmode but no more tried flashing lot of stock ROMs but non of them foxed my problem then i flashed a ftf rom with flashtool and read the log carefully, i saw a eror like that "error battery stats not found", then i plugged my phone to charger an let it stay on charge or a full day, when im unplug it and hold the power button i saw a red led light and a low battery icon in screen,I'm tried lot of things but none of them worked,because as i said it's a hardware problem,phone can't read the battery.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Nidhal AKA the king:
ok, that make sense thou it's a bit different than my case but both has in common... tomorrow i will be obligated to take off the back cover (no more waterproof) and see what's going on... i will keep you updated... it's good that we learn something :)

Thanks for all your help and time in participation :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Styler911:
because of your green flashing light. normally the light should stay on while charging or, blink 3 times if the battery is empty. but random flashes are a sign for a broken board.

How it gets broken on its own.. I didn't do anything to the phone!

thanks for the explanation.... if this is the case on my phone... what should i do? (no sony service in my country! :( )
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Doom Slayer:
If you're lucky and it's battery, then order battery from aliexpress and some stickers for back cover. If u do it right, then waterproof will remain (but it wouldn't risk too much).

If you're not so lucky try to find xz premium with broken screen on eBay and use it as donor for mainboard, as I doubt u will be able to find it cheap or at all.

I have to use multiple app accounts on my android but the accounts should not be linked together (so I guess each clone will use it's own cache,cookies etc.).

There is Island but only one clone can be created with this app and I'm not sure if the cache,cookies etc. are shared with original app.

Do you know hot to create multiple accounts/app clones for an app without them getting linked together (without app detecting clones/multiply accounts)?

What custom ROM can I install and what guide or flash tool do I use? I have tried many with a bricked s7 edge I have and no luck. Just would like a nice ROM like RR or Ironman to install and a guide to doing it so I'm not doing something wrong
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] pingufanpoy:
The snapdragon versions of the s7 edge have locked bootloaders preventing them from getting custom recovery preventing them from flashing custom roms.

The only unlocked snapdragon s7 edge is the Chinese version.

9350.

Meaning only the 9350 can use custom roms in the snapdragon section of the forums.

The rest of the users are using exynos processor phones.

If your phone is bricked use samsung smart switch to restore it to stock.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] vitus13:
I recently acquired a Verizon-branded LG V20 (VS995) and I my eventual goal is to put TWRP and LineageOS on it like my last phone. The first step is to downgrade it to a vulnerable stock image using UPPERCUT. However, I'm finding that LGUP is unable to begin to perform the flash.

My setup/procedure is as such:

1. Fresh Windows 7 x64 installation in Virtualbox 5.2.16 on Arch Linux

1a. USB filter setup so that USB 1004:633a is always passed through to Windows 7

2. Installed drivers: LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0.exe

3. Installed LGUP 1.14: LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi

4. Insert battery into LG V20 VS995

5. Insert USB into computer

6. Hold VOLUP while inserting USB-C into V20

7. Wait as "download mode" message appears and then changes to "Firmware Update" screen.

8. Wait for Windows to install all drivers, ensuring devmgmt.msc shows COM port

9. Launch UPPERCUT v1.0.0.0, granting admin permissions

10. Wait for LGUP to launch, initialize, and show a VS9951CA device

11. Select the December 2016 KDZ: VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz

12. Select UPGRADE and hit Start

After waiting for the 15 second initialization period, LGUP displays the error "Cannot decide device boot mode. set Unknown". If left in this state for several minutes, LGUP will eventually bring up a dialog saying "Error: 0x2000, Port open error (COMX)". LGUP sometimes says it is on a step which I have not transcribed correctly but resembles "_prepareAndDL" before showing the "Cannot decide device boot mode. set Unknown" error, but I've only seen this step once or twice.

SHA1 sums of the files I'm using:

eac54e3e0cfe6e8d7cd395e245170e13de4fcd67 lgmobiledriver_whql_ver_4.2.0.exe

f7b41f77047698bc8e030dddf4ef6fbdb5c3af41 lgup_store_frame_ver_1_14_3.msi

46c9a349d62287d81c94ce7148233c0922604273 uppercut_1.0.0.0.zip

3104b93b7243e3274932b2c56b8383cdecf7ede3 vs99512a_06_1114_arb00.kdz

Is UPPERCUT still the recommended tool to flash stock firmware for this model? Should I be installing it via fastboot instead (if so, is there a thread to follow)? Is the 1CA update no longer downgradable?

--------------------

I tried to use the patched LGUP tool instead of UPPERCUT to see if that helped at all. I did not try to flash the KDZ, but rather just tried to DUMP the existing partitions. I ran into the same error as the post title again.

Procedure:

0. In the LGUP program files directory:

1. Copy the original LGUP.exe to LGUP.original.exe

2. Copy the patched LGUP.exe into it's place

3. Copy in the 'model/common' directory from the patched LGUP zip

4. Steps 4->8 from above

9. Launch patched LGUP (no UPPERCUT)

10. Same as above

11. Select DUMP, hit start, select dump location

There were five such frames, all essentially identical less a byte or two. I suspect if I had let the capture go they would have continued to arrive at an interval. So it's possible the LGUP tool just is not recognizing the ping that the phone is sending?

Install the VirtualBox extension pack and set your USB config for that VM to 2.0 or 3.1, and you should be good.

1CA is definitely downgradable. This is a USB communication problem.

-- Brian
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] vitus13:
I re-confirmed that I had the guest extensions installed (VM has no nic and all files were transferred in via shared folders, which requires guest extensions). But it turns out I did have the USB bus set to USB 2.0. After setting that to USB 3.0 and installing the Intel USB3 drivers for Windows, LGUP started the download without issue. This is still the patched LGUP (no UPPERCUT) and using the UPGRADE option with the KDZ mentioned in the OP. Oddly enough, it did not clear my data, as it asked for my encryption passphrase when it rebooted. It did successfully downgrade me, so I just did a factory reset to clear my old data and apps. As a reminder, the LG out-of-the-box experience starts checking for OTA updates as soon as the phone starts up, so remove your SIM before you start.

1. Remove SIM

2. Do one of the following:

CLI:

vboxmanage modifyvm $vmname --usbehci off && vboxmanage modifyvm $vmname --usbxhci on

UI: Right click VM > Settings > USB > USB 3.0 (XHCI) Controller
