[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
If you are a regular s8 no. The combination file is a nougat system but is not functional as a everyday driver. This device prevents downgrading so yes technically if you flash the combination. It is a 7.0 base but no apps full of bugs. Heat. Crappy battery. No play store no nothing. Combination files are Samsung test imgs again not usable systems. So whoever is telling you this they can tell me too cause unless they said the same as this they are rolling off crap.

If you own a s8+ you posted in the wrong section and yes you can flash the rooted system. Or whatever they use til at least rev 3 bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] linksmechanix:
Yes I was in the wrong forum. Thanks for the info. I used chat alot with ya on the telegram s8+ channel. Did you ever root yours? What allows the S8+ to be able to go back to nougat using the safestrap/samfail method? I was under the impression the phones were very similar hardware/software wise. Im just happy I can go back to nougat. I hate oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
Yeah my s8 had been rooted since like day 5 of having it. They either skipped or just messed up on patching the +. Past to me shows they don't patch the best model. I've seen it with several lgs. Samsung's. The plus models always get more attention.

Yeah I gave up that group, the management and I didn't see eye to eye. Now I run my own ????
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] linksmechanix:
Can you pm me your telegram? I'd love to be a part of one again. Thanks again for all your replies.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Chief Sam:
I want to ask for help. I cannot seem to do a backup on twrp. It says something like this.

Backing up boot.img

Backup failed. Cleaning backup folder.

Any suggestions on fixing this?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] farhanshaikh671:
this happens when backing up to internal or sd?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Chief Sam:
Sd card.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] farhanshaikh671:
There could be 2 main reasons. Your sd card doesn't have enough space, or sd card is unmounted during backup. Or even your storage could be encrypted
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Chief Sam:
I currently have a 64gb samsung sd card.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] farhanshaikh671:
Does the twrp logo screen stay on for too long? Like more than 1min?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Chief Sam:
Yeah. Since the backup takes too long.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] farhanshaikh671:
Could be your phone is encrypted
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Chief Sam:
Oh. And i also found out that twrp cannot mount my storage. It does not show my internal memory
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] farhanshaikh671:
Yep, all these are symptoms of an encrypted phone
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Chief Sam:
Would it help if i try remove the password on my phone?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] farhanshaikh671:
You can try, but i dont think it will help because the files itself are encrypted. So wiping internal storage + data would be your only option
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Chief Sam:
Thanks man. Ill try doing it.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Sepero:
Occasionally, while on call, or when I open my phone, I get this message (image below)

"Password required for additional security"

I have fingerprint unlock saved in the settings. Instead of allowing fingerprint unlock, it requires entering my password/pin. I use a long and secure password, so it takes time to enter it and make sure it's correct. I already enter this password everytime my phone boots, so this additional request is extremely annoying and unnecessary.

Does anyone know Why this additional request is made? What triggers it? Or How to disable it?

Any help is appreciated :)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] minscetbou:
I am also interested
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] freeups:
I get this occasionally and I have a short pin. I think it is very much "backing" up fingerprint security since no security is perfect. Good security involves something you have "fingerprint" and something you know "pin" since it would be very unlikely an imposter would have both. I would be very surprised if there is a way to turn the random check of your pin off.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Sepero:
Unfortunately, this "security check" can make your device LESS secure, because it happens at random times. If you're in the grocery store, at someone's house, or anywhere with security camera's, then entering your Pin/Password can be recorded on video. More businesses and people are installing camera's everyday.

In these situations using Fingerprint (instead of Pin) is More Secure. It's for this reason I want to disable it randomly requiring pin/password
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] orangeacresmontana:
hate this

Yep I hate the one that programed this security feature without an obvious way to turn it off, we don't no one telling us what is good for our security. I want it to unlock everytime I touch the finger print scanner, even at startup, and if anything I want it to lock down if I use a certain finger and then require a password.

Mod edit: Removed unacceptable language.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] croperas:
I actually have a pretty simple PIN just because of this situation otherwise fingerprint is just fine :/
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] aaddawVDXB:
can this be disabled? everyone can see me type in my pin when this happens
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sneak:
I'd like some kind of software for PC for managing nandroid backups. Pretty much a database of backups with some settings, similar to how you can automatically download podcasts in music players and automatically delete old ones.

So for example if I make a lot of nandroids I can have it setup to automatically delete older ones based on how many new backups I have and/or how much time has passed. I can see details about what's contained in the backup, etc... whatever else would be useful.

I want something that can easily set names on each of them (in the software for display to the user only, not necessarily on the files/folders) and display the date and time of each as well as any other relevant information possible to obtain from the nandroids.

Is there anything out there like this or do I need to stick to making notes and creative folder names?
[General Questions and Answers] barbosarvini:
I was thinking if somebody with the Nubia M2 on the stock ROM could provide me a TWRP full backup, PLEASE.

The phone just arrived a week ago and I just bricked it. I tried to install a Miui ROM (GizROM MIUI 9 Edition), but it didn't go well so I tried to go back to stock, but since then I could not use my phone.

ROMs that I tried but didn't work:

- M2_MIUI9_8.2.1_EU_francko76 (the one that I tried first/when i try to install now it keeps turning the phone off on the boot screen)

- M2_NubiaUI_M_1.10_GizRom (from the same site that I downloaded the Miui one/keeps restarting after instalation)

- lineage-13.0-20180701-UNOFFICIAL-NX551J (it turns the phone off on the boot screen)

- lineage-14.1-20180917-UNOFFICIAL-nx551j

- Nubia_NX551J_官方 V2.03+root (another one that keeps restarting)

- NX551J_Z69_EN_TSXPR17D11L110 (stock rom/gets stuck at "be yourself")

- NX551J_Z69_EN_TSXPR17D11L111 (another stock/same of the above)

- NX551-update_1.59 (another stock/it works but if I restart get stuck at "be yourself")

- NX551-updateV1.02 (same of the above)

Does anyone here happen to have all the ringtones from the HTC One VX? Ive been looking everywhere for them but all i find are the new HTC ringtones. Thanks in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
This is my new favorite Note 9 case. Same rubbery material as the Tech 21 with better bottom and back protection. The whole inside is protected with the orange D30 material.

Real grippy. great feeling case. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Looks good. How slack is the left side where the Bixby button side is?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Deleted member 7436581:
Shame the sides coudn't be matte. Not a fan of glossy. Do they have a matte version?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] kbrn:
Nice case.. But I second this opinion...

Glossy black cases get so greasy with fingerprints and also show micro scratches very easy..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] sherpa25:
Couldn't agree more re those glossy/shiny sides. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
The glossy sides are actually.very grippy/sticky. They use the same glossy sides on their other models.

Their note 9 cases for me seem to be step down to what they had for the note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] zadox:
Unless Samsung brings the alcantara Note 8 case for Note 9, there is no favourite case for me. I know a guy that claims he got one (preproduction? fake/replica?) from Alibaba but I can't find it anywhere. The rest all basically the same case made by hundreds of different companies/sellers and easy to spot; they are plastic all around and the buttons are not that great. Better than nothing but they don't compare to the real (only for Note8) thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] yislam:
Yusuf

Personally I think overall, the Spigen selection is the best.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] zedwards:
The glossy probably fits in your pocket better though. Don't like dealing with how sticky my oem Samsung case is, though it's grip is bomber.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] dallaslaventurasucks:
is the D3O great enough?

To me, it is just a trick for marketing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Blues fan:
When I had the S2 I had the 3do case that Tmobile sold under the 3do name. I really liked the case a lot. Basic and got the job done. I dropped my phone from about two feet getting out of my car face down and the phone was fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] makko1:
You should order alcantara case from interiorex. Have found it great personally. The fake Samsung ones on AliExpress seem to be even dangerous for their scetchy chemicals, being thus probably imitation alcantara.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Coconut tree:
Hey everyone I'm thinking about buying a new phone but i never bought anything from China before and i heard something about vat and import duties I have no idea what that is I'm in the USA btw

Also the phone has free shipping via AliExpress so do i just have to pay for the phone and no tax etc?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
You pay the vat tax and hypothetically you would pay an import tax into the US. But only if the value is above $2500.

The itself Vat is the tax, and coming from China its should be about 16% of the declared value. Sometimes the shipper will declare a smaller value than what you actually paid.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Coconut tree:
Okay now I'm really confused ? one of my FB friend said the USA don't use vat. So if i buy this phone i would have to pay 16% vat?

Here is the product i want to buy

US $216.89 | Global Version Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite 4GB 64GB Snapdragon 660 6.26'' Fullscreen Mobile Phone AI 24MP Front Camera Dual Rear Camera

https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/gQZCcZ6
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
US doesn't charge the Vat, the country that you export from charges the tax. At least that is what happened when I bought a guitar in China. But I may have gotten scammed since I didn't pay a Vat for other things that I purchased.

I just attempted to walk through the steps of purchasing a phone ( Online) to see if it would process the Vat charge and it did not. So maybe you will not pay any Vat? To be clear the US will not charge you anything unless its value is over $2500

Nice Phone BTW

Here's a screenshot of my order back in July. It's just like if you order something from amazon or ebay, nothing special, at least not with an order like this

Thanks but i decided to buy a honor 8x from eBay instead
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] GWARslave119:
I'm debating on buying another 720 since I cracked my screen or getting an 850/950. Looking at the honor view 10 as well
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
Congrats on the new phone. Give us a review once you have used it. Thanks
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] GWARslave119:
eee thats dropping from the pro 3, but if u dont game and stuff, u dont really need anything strong
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Coconut tree:
Okay ?

Here is what i noticed so far compared to my le pro 3

The battery life is awesome almost 10 hours of sot (Facebook, WhatsApp, messenger, YouTube,wifi) the camera is wayyyy better than the leeco (leave AI mode off) speaker is decent, build quality is amazing the only downside is the micro usb charging port....cpu is snappier that the leeco but the GPU is decent and ram management is just terrible
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Coconut tree:
I only play garena free fire it isn't a demanding game but the kirin 710 is clearly a faster than the SD 821 when it comes to lunching apps
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] GWARslave119:
Hmm if that's the case, then the Kirin 960 or 970 should perform overall much better in all aspects
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] GWARslave119:
Actually I've been looking more and the Kirin chipsets seem to be more for non-gaming as opposed to the Snapdragons. That combined with looking for a phone that's compatible with T-Mobile/MetroPCS, it looks like ZTE/Nubia Z17 might be my choice to upgrade to.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Coconut tree:
Well i actually had to return my 8x due to screen bleeding I'm currently waiting on the Xiaomi note 7 pro with the new SD 675
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] GWARslave119:
You know when it's due out? I checked gsmarena and it says not announced. Did a quick comparision though between the Adreno 530 and the Adreno 616 and the 530 still tops it..then again you said u weren't going for gaming ;p

The idea about the Nubia z17 for me I don't think is gonna work out, it doesn't have band 2, which I probably need for MetroPCS. Bands 2 and 4 are the 2 I use. the x720 is missing bands 12, 25, 26, 66, and 71, so I have no idea if I got a phone that had those (almost all are expensive) if they would even be utilized or not. I'm debating on maybe the Honor View 10, it has 2, 4, 5, and 12 at least.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] dlradlt:
The phone that gets my attention is the Xiaomi BlackShark it has all the main bands for AT&T and T-Mobile... A big battery and screen sd845cpu 6gb ram 64gb storage just under $400 on eBay

I love my lex727 but it's getting a bit on the rough side with scratches on the screen I'd get another one but their isn't any new ones left on eBay
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] GWARslave119:

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] raymondjb:
Hello everyone

I've been using a 9.0 custom rom for a couple weeks now and decided to change it too another one to try out some of the features on another one. Now everytime I install a custom rom I keep getting prompted for an encryption password and I have no idea what it is. I tried to install over 5 different custom roms (all 9.0) but they all prompt for the password, I even went back to the original one I was using (Pixel experience) and now this one asks me for an encryption password. I have no memory of setting a password in the first place, I tried flashing the "DisableEncryptionZip" before and after installing the ROMS but have the same issue.

I tried installing an android 8 ROM but I keep getting stuck at the fastboot screen for some reason, I really don't know what to do from here! If anyone can help, thanks in advance! :laugh:
