[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Advanced Android User:
I'm in a catch-22 situation. My S5's microSD card reader no longer works because the controller chip was damaged by water. The rest of the phone still works fine.

The SD card was used as shared memory (adoptable storage), meaning it is encrypted. Without the key (16-bit AES265) it is impossible to decrypt. I read that the key is in data\misc\vold but in order to get it, you need to root the phone.

Is there any way to root an S5 (Android 6.0.1) without the encryption key file being wiped?

Thank you so much!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Advanced Android User:
UPDATE: I was incredibly lucky. The bootloader of my S5 is unlocked, so I could use odin to install twrp and then back up the key file. I also used twrp to make a full backup of the phone. So I will now try to restore the backup to a new phone of the same type, and if that doesn't work I'll decrypt the microSD card using this method: nelenkov.blogspot.com/2015/06/decrypting-android-m-adopted-storage.html

The question is:

- If you go into Gmail settings (the Android part, that you can do for each and every app)

- Can you set a custom notification tone for each email account?

This is a pretty standard Android function, but Xiaomi removed it from their devices in the latest MIUI.

Hello,

Basically. My situation is that I'm a small twitch streamer and want a cheap way to display my heart rate on stream. My idea is to have my gear s2 be constantly capturing my heart rate and then either display it on my phone. Or preferably on like a locally hosted website that I can capture in OBS. Is there anything like this that already exists. Or would I have to attempt to make something like this myself? And how tricky would it be to create this as I have limited knowledge with developing for this watch.

Thanks,

Max
[General Questions and Answers] alfredtv:
To all,

I wanted to know if everyone else has the same issue I have or if I am just missing something. On my T-Mobile DASH running Kavana 6.1 Vanilla ROM I have BBConnect 4.0.0.97 running (I did change the AKU to get it to connect) I have 1 BES profile and 3 BIS profiles setup everything runs great but on occasion (very frequently due to 4 email accounts) the BBConnect program opens up and shows the Owner Information screen which is populated or the BBConnect main screen I then click back and get to the email no problem. I just wanted to know if everyone else is dealing with this problem or if it has been addressed?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] JohnMcD348:
I've had the Galaxy Watch since March and have played around a lot with faces for it that supposedly show both the Watch and the Phone battery strength. I had many of these on my Moto360 Gen2 watch that I replaced with this Galaxy watch. The Moto faces I used would keep updated with battery strength throughout the day. Every watch face I've tried with the Galaxy tells me I've got 100% most of the day. Occasionally it'll update and show where it's gone from 100%, down to something else, ex. 87%, 56%, etc, without showing any other decreases in between those. Some days, I go all day long with the watch showing I'm at 100%, even though the phone is lower.

I have a Galaxy Note8 and decided to go Galaxy Watch, thinking they would actually be more compatible. It seems like I had better interoperability with the Android Watch than I do with this Tizan based watch, even though it's all part of the same ecosystem by Samsung.

Does anyone out there know of a watch face, Paid or Free, that accurately represents Phone battery strength?

Thanks

All in One! by Shuisky works for me with my Pixel 3XL.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] JohnMcD348:
Thanks. I have that one, and for some reason, the Phone battery indicator goes away when I install it on my watch. I can see it when I first bring that face up and select it for the watch. But, then after it initializes on my watch, the phone indicator goes away and only shows the watch battery. That's what seems to happen with all the watch faces.

are you using magisk canary channel?
[General Questions and Answers] Olleo:
Hello,

I used to use the Google Assistant quite a lot e.g. when riding a bike/driving a car for calling someone and sending text messages. For this purpose I have agreed for voice match etc. to be able to do that when the phone is blocked.

Unfortunately recently my phone Samsung Galaxy Note 8 had a visit at the service for display replacement and the service has upgraded the ROM to Pie. Since the upgrade Google everyday asks me about my consent for voice match, steering when blocked etc. when I am asking it to call or send the text message and does not remember the settings for more than few hours.

I don't think it is a matter specifically of the Note 8 as I have noticed the same on Samsung A5 (2017) with Pie on it.

Do you know how to give it my consent permanently? It's really a pain in the ass. Please help.
[General Questions and Answers] Olleo:
Funny thing is that I have the voice match and show results in the blocked device (or whatever it is in English - I didn't check) allowed in the settings, but the Google Assistant ignores it when asked to call sbd and asking for my consent anyway.

[HTC Wings] tokyem:
Hi all,

Apologies if this question has already been asked/answered...

I have a Softbank X03HT. They have apparently disabled the "+" feature for international dialing. Since I have more than one phone synched to my outlook i don't want to change several hundred outlook contacts to reflect the Japan&Softbank only "010" for international calls. I see that on some of the older PDA-phones it was possible to customize the international call code by doing a register edit. When I try that on the X03HT I do not find the entries in the registry to change (e.g., PDA version registry apparently has an entry like this--HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\PlusCodeDialing where the X03HT does not).

So, my question: How can I make "+" dialin work on this softbank model?

Thanks!!!
[HTC Wings] jchatlos:
I might be wrong but i think it's as simple as pressing and holding the 0 key.
[HTC Wings] tokyem:
Yes, you're right. That gives you a "+" but the trouble is deeper. Generally the network translates the + sign into the proper international access number (in the US it is 011). This feature is great beacuse you don't have to remember the interational calling access code for each country you visit. But, Softbank doesnt have a feature like this. To get international access you have to dial "010" at the start of the number. (It could be worse, for DoCoMo the code is 6 digits long!). Anyway, older PDA-style Windoes Mobile phones allowed you to have the phone do the translation of the + sign to an international access code. (search Mongol for "+" dialing on this site).

My question is, Can we make the Z03HT act that way? HTC says no. I doubt they have really tried...some of the talent on this board is capable, I'm sure.

How about a $100 prize? I'LL PAY $100 FOR THE FIRST WORKING EXAMPLE.

Great guide. I have a soft bricked device after flashing Lineage 16.0 recovery. Have a boot loop and can't get to recovery. I realise the mistake was flashing the recovery as should have just booted it.

Has anyone else had success with this on a Zenfone 6?
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] sapientsaxonsaboo:
For those who need it; managed to resolve by downloading the stock firmware from Asus, extracting the boot.img and flashing it. Back working.

Didn't try the guide but this is quicker in this scenario if you have flashed a custom recovery to the boot partition. There is no separate recovery partition so this soft bricked the device, overwriting boot with recovery (I followed the guide here for LineageOS which is ill advised) . Should be booting the recovery rather than flashing, or booting into stock recovery and using the installer zip for your custom recovery.

Steps to recover:

1. Download stock firmware from Asus - make sure you use the same firmware version installed on the device or you may find it will boot but some hardware such as WiFi or others may not work.

2. Extract the archive and then you need to extract the boot.img from payload.bin - see this article and use the payload dumper

3. Flash your boot.img with fastboot flash boot boot.img

4. Reboot

Device should restart and boot up. Now to see why TWRP and LineageOS custom recoveries won't boot.

Great guide [MENTION=8134350]_Kuroi_[/MENTION] , I will be trying it out soon. The service rom you are using is pretty old. So I grabbed the last P update service firmware (WW-16.1220.1909.194) and the latest Q build I could get currently (WW-17.1810.2002.133). I have a subscription to one of the paid firmware sites for reasons like this. This way people have more options and it will simplify most people's updating because they can go from the new P service rom to any Q ota. Q firmware doesn't really make sense until it's not being updated anymore but it's here just in case someone finds it useful. If there is some incompatibility in the future or something that requires a newer update I will grab it then. If there isn't I will grab the last firmware once Q is stopped being updated.
