[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] ast00:
If it's rooted encryption doesn't help. Secure startup does, but it introduces so many problems with simple things like restoring a backup that it's not worth it for me.

And like I said, encryption alone doesn't make a difference as long as you TWRP.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
Never had such issues

Actually encryption without secure startup doesn't make sense at all
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] ast00:
Which is exactly why forced encryption on every single damn phone is stupid. Ask the user on the first startup if they want this or not. If someone is too stupid to decide this for themselves after a simple, one paragraph explanation, they don't deserve a smartphone.

But the current implementation is unreliable and frustrating to anyone looking to modify the software on their phone. Granted, we are the minority.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] PreciousPulkit:
Thanks This Worked Very well
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] SchwarZWeiSs:
Does this mean a Gapps ROM as stock would encrypt it too?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] ast00:
Not sure what you mean by gapps rom.

Stock Oxygen OS is the only thing that will encrypt it. You can use custom roms based on Oxygen OS though.

hi,

I do not know exactly the name of what I am looking for, but what I would like is the following:

When you type a phonenumber you get a list of numbers and contacts.

I would like a different list. Something that looks a bit flashier.

For example I would like to see the pictures that I have linked in my contacts in front of the contacts.

Then when you make the call I have a black background, with a reallly small picture next to the phonenumber. Is there a new screen available with a bigger picture, maybe another colour, or even better, the linked picture used as background for this screen?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] andygold:
Not sure if all carrier versions have this or not....

I can access my voicemail three different ways on the phone. I can hit the voicemail notification and it will call the voicemail number. Or, I can go to the dialer and hit and hold the number 1 until it dials the voicemail number. Or, I can click on the red icon on the launcher screen with what I'm guessing is an image of white tape spanning between two reels.

My question is mostly about the icon version of getting my voicemail. When I click the icon, I can see a date, time and duration of prior voicemails I've received. If I click on one, it brings me to a screen with an outline of a head and shoulders, and three buttons below. The button on the left pulls up an additional volume control, named "call" (in addition to the normal 4 volume sliders I usually get). Even with the volume maxed, I can barely hear the voicemails through the ear speaker. If I hit the "speaker" icon, I can hear the message quite loudly through the bottom speaker, but no matter what I do, I can barely hear it through the ear speaker, as the volume is just too low.

If I dial in to my voicemail using either of the first two methods above, everything is nice and loud with no issues.

Any thoughts on how to get the volume higher while using the voicemail app? Maybe a hidden setting somewhere?

Also, I may be remembering this incorrectly, but I thought that when the phone was new, it would take the voicemail and do a voice to text and display the text on screen (is that visual voicemail?) For whatever reason, the phone no longer does this. Is that something that is built into the phone, or something that Verizon includes? And if it is a Verizon service, is it a pay service or is it free? How do I access that voice to text ability for emails?

TIA,

Andy

I tried selecting all of the possible account options, disabling wifi / 4g but it always shows this error. If i type in wrong password i get the error that password is wrong. If data is correct i get this error.

Has anyone seen this before and knows how to fix it?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] zzcool:
so i tried to flash my s7 edge which is a carrier version and i did a few mistakes

first i used a twrp image that was meant for Another device it just failed (these files should be labelled)

second i forgot to set oem unlocking to on trying to do this afterwards crashed the settings app so i had to do a factory reset to make it work

anyway after these mistakes i kept getting various errors on the phone when i tried to boot into the bootloader i got an error bcb or pcb failed to clear eror misc partition missing something

when i finally got into downloading mode correctly i was able to flash twrp but odin was stuck on reset so i forced the phone to reboot and then suddenly it said passed and i was able to enter recovery mode, then i was unable to do a full format in twrp something about files not unmounting, in the end i was able to flash twrp on it and then flash lineage Everything works, so my question is am i safe?

my second question is regarding gapps aroma package, what apps are safe to not include, what can i safely choose if i want literally nothing but the playstore, i don't want the browser that comes with lineage i don't want the email app, i don't want the calculator nothing, i don't want any app that i can easily download from the playstore, i don't want Text to speech either, if so i want to reformat and reflash with the aroma package and just choose as Little as i safely can, if it or an app with the same function can be downloaded from the playstore then i don't want it from the setup process

EDIT i may have posted this in the wrong section please move it for me to the appropriate section

Hello guys

I'm going to change my phone soon(using an honor 8 right now)

I'm searching for a phone that has an OLED display and that is waterproof and that has also wireless charging if possible

I don't want to buy a Samsung phone nor any other brand that take ages to update from Android version year to year

(I now that Google exist but my searches are all flooded with news website saying that X phone will have this but not that coming at Y date)

I'm OK with every UI the seller might put in the phone (I love Huawei EMUI)

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] discord:
My brother passed away and was using this phone until a couple of weeks ago. I don't have the lockscreen pattern but I'm trying to do a little detective work regarding my brothers last activity. I reached out to law enforcement, but they don't have an active investigation and they suggested that I reach out to his cell provider [Tracfone] which I might try. Of specific interest to me is his text message activity on the day of his death.

Anyhow I scoured the net and tried to beat the lockscreen via emergency dialer, and also tried to connect via adb shell and MTP. I also don't think the device was registered via the samsung tools. I'm at the point where the device told me I have 9 unlock attempts left and it will erase the device after. The lockscreen seems to appear at device power and I think that it might not have booted android completely at this point.

Is anybody aware of a method to bypass the lockscreen which would work on this device so I can look into the details surrounding his death?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] discord:
Sort of desperate here. There seems to be some software called Dr Fone that claims to have a lockscreen removal. However not sure that it works and on this device.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] phonecapone:
I may have a solution for this if you are wanting to preserve data if not check around on youtube for a video on FRP resetting this. I might have wrote a tutorial on this somewhere but I cant remember atm. Basically if you don't want to preserve the devices data (your brothers as you say) then you will simply factory reset it and then follow an FRP Removal tutorial you can find on here and or youtube.

btw nice leet username =]
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] veryspecialagent:
Speaking of nice usernames ;)

If you're still around, I have an old J327t1 that I had dropped and broke the screen on a few years ago. I recently fixed it, but can't remember PIN. I would like to preserve the data and am interested in what you have
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] noidodroid:
All you need to do is find a recovery for that and flash it then go into the lock files and remove those. You can find some guides here on XDA or on youtube.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] veryspecialagent:
This was before I got into development, so adb isn't enabled, bootloader is still locked, and the phone is not rooted, so I'm skeptical I'd be able to flash. It's also running (I believe) Marshmallow, and most of those "find and delete lock settings" methods were for 4.x Kit-Kat and below. I could be wrong though.

If you have a particular thread in your watch list, I'd be grateful for the link.

I've been all over looking for a solution, hence me posting in here as opposed to creating a thread. Didn't want to reinvent the wheel if I didn't have to.

Despite the above limitations, the device has not received any updates since June 2017, it DOES go into MTP mode when I hook it to my laptop, and I have verified that it is vulnerable to the Mtpwn exploit.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] veryspecialagent:
Also, I turned a moto g7 Play into a Nethunter device and had tried Android PIN Bruteforce, but after entering in so many PINs it would make me wait 30 seconds to try again and I couldn't figure out how to get my g7 to keep the screen of the J3 on. Or wake it back up, since it requires you to hit power then swipe the screen.

I ended up wiping it because it had Pie and no workaround for the wifi throttling, and installed Q. It's rooted, but I haven't set up nethunter back up on it yet. I do have an S5 that I has Nethunter, but haven't set it up with HID support yet. Plus, the battery on that would drain too quickly to use for this process.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] kostad22:
Hey there guys,

Im having some problems with my Huawei P10 screen.On the left side of the screen on top there are some yellow half circles.One month ago there was only one and now there are three of them. Like on the top left of the screen.When the background is white you can see them clearly,when the background is black or any dark colour they almost disappear.

Do you think its a pixel problem or what? Like dead pixel or stuck pixel. If u know what it is can u help me to fix it?

Its not any big problem but its ugly to see them when u use phone.

Thanks
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] Jannomag:
Are they present when you boot into Fastboot? Just test it, there's a white background. If yes, it's a hardware problem, maybe it's the display itself, or the flex cable or the display controller, or the display connector.

Go to a repair store, if you still have warranty send it to Huawei of, if you're able to do it by yourself, buy a display replacement (with frame).

Posting a new thread was my last resort, so here goes.

I'm looking for a TWRP recovery for a HTC One M9e PCE. It's obviously a rarer model so finding stuff for it is incredibly hard. While searching the forum I came to the conclusion that there once was a file named twrp-3.0.0.2-HIMAR.img hosted on androidfilehost. But all the links are dead.

Does anyone have a copy of that image lying around? I would greatly appreciate if someone would upload it again. If I'm not mistaken the author of that recovery was mars3712, if that helps.

EDIT: I'm aware that there's a repo on github also, though unfortunately it's on a 5.1 base. The device in question is 6.0 MM. Would it matter?

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] CallMeMic:
I recently switched from a Nexus 5X to a Sony Xperia XZ2 (H8276). With the 5X the bluetooth was perfect but with the XZ2 the audio skips every so often (music stops for like half a second, then the music speeds up to catch-up) and it's driving me nuts since I use it every day for my commute to work. However it does work perfectly on other bluetooth devices like a portable speaker and other cars.

Things I've tried:

- Resetting the phone

- Resetting the network settings

- Rebooting and turning on/off bluetooth

- Re-pairing multiple times

- Disabling Bluetooth location scanning

- Deleting bluetooth data and cache

- Multiple audio apps

- Removing bluetooth and audio app from battery optimisations

- Disabling wifi

- Changing codecs and connection quality in the developer options (seems to help but not completely and the settings resets on a reboot)

The phone has the most recent update, version 8.0.0 build number 51.1.A.11.26.

Maybe the XZ2 is not correctly selecting the connection settings or codecs to use with the speaker?

Any ideas how I could troubleshoot this even more? I am hoping the next android update will fix this..

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus Questions & Answers] jmcvieira:
Hello.

I have a Mi 5S Plus and started to have some problems with the network signal from a month ago. Very often (every 5/10 min), my phone seems to lose the network signal and goes to the "No Service" state, and is reconnected a few moments after this happens.

I have unlocked the bootloader via the official way and had Lineage OS 14.1 (Build from January) installed until I started experimenting stuff to try and solve this problem. Initially, I thought this was a software problem so I wiped everything and reinstalled the Rom, but it didn't help. I flashed Lineage 15.1, Resurrection Remix and MIUI but the issue was still there.

I flashed the latest stable and dev firmwares from here (https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/devices-xiaomi-firmware-updater-t3741446), tried reverting to previous versions and the issue still persists.

The problem is very annoying because not only makes my device unable to receive calls very often, the battery is draining at a crazy rate (with mobile network standby over 50%). I'm starting to think that the problem is hardware related and I hope that isn't the case.

I'm posting a logcat (https://paste.ee/p/lwWfD) of when the problem happened (20:58).

Do you have any idea of what could be causing this?

Thank you very much for your time and patience!
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus Questions & Answers] jmcvieira:
Hello.

Just for an update, I reverted the firmware to the oldest I could find (8.1.4 Global) and the issue seems to be better. It doesn't happen so often now, but it still happens sometimes. I have even replaced the antenna to see if it could be a hardware fault and it seems to have not fixed the issue.

Is there anyone that has had this kind of issue before?

If yes, I could really appreciate any insight about what could be the problem.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] artisticcheese:
Hello,

I'm confused how Android Pay is supposed to work on S9+ specifically in terms of unlocking phone. I expected if phone is unlocked already I just tap terminal and payment is processed but instead. I power on phone, tap terminal, Pay launches but asks to confirm unlock, at this point Terminal fails and Pay asks me to tap second time.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] termdj:
I'm from South Africa and Samsung Pay only started to work a few weeks ago. I installed the app and then there was an update. I was asked to decide which security option I wanted to use, iris/fingerprint or both. I decided on fingerprint. I have used it a couple of times. In my experience of using it, no issues.. On the lock screen or if the phone is unlocked, there is a small tab on the bottom of the phone. I just swipe up from the bottom and it launches Samsung Pay immediately. You will see your card and security option, in my case I use my finger on the fingerprint reader and it's active for +-30 seconds,(the phone "pulses/vibrates every couple of seconds) then hold against the card machine and when detected, the phone vibrates a bit longer and the card machine asks for pin depending on the bank etc and from there it's a normal transaction.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] artisticcheese:
Yes, Samsung Pay is not an issue, question about Android Pay which works quite different from Samsung Pay.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] brunotuga:
Well I use it all the time everyday to pay and all I do is wait for the machine to ask for the card or contact less and at that point and unlock the phone put next to the reader and that's it payment done.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] artisticcheese:
What happens if you phone is already unlocked when you powered it on? Does it ever prompt you second time to verify your Iris/Fingerprint?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] brunotuga:
Well to be fair there was a few times when waiting I was playing with the phone and she did activated it and all I did was put on top of it and did pay for it. Now there is the fact that to pay for things u do need to be fairly close to the NFC chip or u won't pay so don't think is any danger in people trying to get the phone to do payments plus u get the notification. With all of that said don't know if u go to settings u can choose to register finger every time u want to pay.

Unfortunately, no. You can try removing that device from the list of devices of your MI Account and try adding again to check. Also, try an older version of Mi Unlock tool. Using a Chinese VPN to request unlock permission might also work. The key to make it happen is to keep trying at regular justified intervals with a combination of what I told you and you are sure to have your device unlocked. Good luck!
