[General Questions and Answers] NoahDomingues:
Hey everyone,

I have just installed FloydRom v8 on my Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos), which I did by flashing TWRP through Odin and then installing the ROM. I have read online that doing this would trip the Knox Warranty Bit from 0x0 to 0x1 (void). The phone is no longer covered by warranty so that doesn't matter, but I was worried about being unable to use S Health, S Pay, etc.

So, I booted my phone into Download Mode to see what the Knox Warranty Bit value was displayed as, expecting it to say either 0x0 or 0x1 (the phone isn't rooted, so I hoped it might display 0x0 but I just wanted to check). However, instead, the Knox value shows up as 0x030c. I have no idea what this means, and I haven't found much information available online. The only Knox app I have tried opening is Samsung Wallet (S Pay) which opens successfully but it said it was updating and it can't update at this time (but I'm not sure if that's to do with the terrible internet connection). I haven't tried S Health yet.

If anyone could help me understand what this means, or if you have the same question, please let me know!

Cheers, Noah =)
[General Questions and Answers] NoahDomingues:
UPDATE: S Health appears to work fine, with no issues. As far as I understand, Samsung Health is not supposed to work if the Knox Warranty Bit has been tripped. This is so confusing!

Cheers =)

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] vmosca88:
Hi, my phone is stuck in continuous boot loop. from the bootloader I cannot make any wipe of the cache and of data and/or any factory reset. it also says " can't read 'dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/cache' superblock I/O error".

what should I do?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Deleted member 2092952:
That might be a hardware failure since its an I/O error.

You could try Smart Switch on PC and try the emergency updater and see if it works. It will erase your data since its a full redo assuming your phone is working to the point that it can.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] onemorelight:
Try flashing a stock ROM using Odin or Fastboot, depending on your phone. It usually does the trick and gets rid of those annoying boot loops.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] vmosca88:
where I can find this procedure? here in XDA website? thnx
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] vmosca88:
thnx for this, but I cannot unvalid the guarantee since it is not my smartphone, but I have borrowed it...and don't want to give it back in this conditions :)
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Deleted member 2092952:
Can get it from Samsung's website or its dedicated site here https://samsungsmartswitch.org/smart-switch-pc#download-area

Install and open

Make sure the phone is off.

Hold Volume up + power button until the special menu shows up.

Use reboot to bootloader. Tap volume down to move to it and power button to select it.

Once the new special screen shows up. Connect the phone via USB.

In Smart Switch PC, there's a more button at the top right. An entry there is Emergency software recovery (may or may not need to use the driver entry there first). Click that and follow its instructions to see what happens.

If any step on the phone above cannot be done or the phone won't connect then the phone definitely isn't working right. I tested it as connecting there for you so you know.

Smart Switch PC downloads and fresh installs the firmware automatically and officially and is the only official way of doing that.

Odin is a possible alternative to try but its technically leaked and not actually publicly official as well as being basically the same thing in the end but with a manual use. I'm not aware if using it actually voids the warranty although it does carry some risk especially increased with the version that disables certain checks.

If its under warranty or insurance and Smart Switch PC fails to work then trying for warranty would probably be the safest choice.

Depending on the country, payment used, and things, alternative solutions can be present. One example is if a payment method offers extended warranty.

Hopefully that helps you.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] vmosca88:
thanx a lot!! really precious description. hope to be able to do that :)
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Deleted member 12710203:
how does one destroys thy phone so much to the point of getting a I/O error..
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Deleted member 2092952:
I/O errors tend to happen with any storage even PC drives can see I/O errors as they develop filesystem issues, physical failures, or whatever.

The problem with mobile devices is that they are not as easy to work with. Whereas a computer drive one could try things not easy to do or impossible on mobile devices.

Software coding could potentially affect or cause it too. I've seen it happen on only one computer with specific files that had to be avoided in a specific situation. The code should have dealt with it but didn't.

Mobile doesn't offer a ton of options. Clear cache, flash firmware. That's about it for 99.9% of people when their device isn't booting. I don't expect clearing anything would work here although one could try it as a last ditch effort I suppose or some other ideas that are crazy lol.

edit - There's a different I/O error on the A54 section. That one might be caused by code not working correctly in an update since multiple people have it at the same time, but then again, that's a problem either way with getting a replacement as the best means to solving it at this time or always to be. And these are places where people with problems post :)
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] vmosca88:
Finally I was able to try your solution. My problem is that I cannot reboot to bootloader: when I select it, the screen get stuck on "Entering fastboot mode..." (in bold and red font) and no new menu appears. Thus, SmartSwitch does not recognize any device. Any other possible hint? Thnx!
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Deleted member 2092952:
I'd just recommend a replacement in that case as the phone can't do something it should absolutely do. Its the equivalent of the USB-C port not working but with the storage instead.

I'm sure someone would try something crazy like trying to format the partition. I don't know how that would go and it could be physical so non fixable, won't work anyway, won't be possible, not smart, or some other issue that can't be fixed.

I'm sure someone would even try soldering in new storage or whatever if they could or some other crazy idea.

I'm not that person. My viewpoint is the phone is toast, and for most people if not all, it is as it sounds totally toasted to me.

Edit: Here's an interesting link in you think you're up to that....

Hi

I see this has been discussed on other devices, but not on Diamond/HD as far as i can see.

I have a Sony Ericsson BT Stereo A2DP headset, and it is working just great using built in player.

But a small hitch is that the screen comes on whenever i press the play/pause button, which is quite annoying if the device is in my pocket, as odd things gets pressed.

Anyone have a solution to this (that dosent involve switching to another player, cause i like the built in one)

Thanks in advance.

/Epe
[Touch HD General] Kangburra:
Install S2U2 (slide to unlock) it won't solve the screen coming on but it does stop random buttons getting activated.
[Android TV General] Pazens:
Hello Community,

I have a JTC Smart TV. It's running Android, but I hate what they did to it. There is no multitasking as well. As soon as you switch an app the other one just closes up and hast to be restarted. Also, there are a lot of apps not available for this one.

Is there a way to install a custom ROM? I did it with several phones before but I didn't see any way for this TV on the internet yet.

Thank y'all!
[Android TV General] choppadeee:
Install google home launcher and services/play store.

You should able to install them from the media browser with the files placed on a usb

I have linked some of the files needed install all of them

For aestheic touches i suggest you grab gboard (keyboard) from the playstore.

you could also grab aerial views for a nice sreensaver

You should be able to change multitasking options in developer mode once your new launcher is installed

[Android TV General] Pazens:
Hey,

So you suggest installing another launcher instead of a whole other ROM? Thanks, I'll try that!
[Android TV General] choppadeee:
Yes it is still android underneath, they just use custom launchers.
[Android TV General] Pazens:
Hi!

I tried to install the apps today. Unfortunately I get some parsing error on the launcher app - I did not try any other so far. Any advice on that?
[Android TV General] Pazens:
I now installed the projectory launcher and playing around with it. Let's see how this goes.
[Android TV General] Pazens:
The launcher seems to be doing okay. That works for me for now. Thanks for the tip
[Android TV General] choppadeee:
Not a problem! it's a great launcher very customizable. i suggest you support the dev @spocky12 and get the premium version, he gives you a lot for free but he has clearly worked very hard.

I got a really nice looking result with it.

With a bit of effort you can make it look great.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dffdsdf sdsafsdfsa:
While touching settings, I found a screenshot of a beta version of Galaxy S3 TouchWiz with slightly different design. Has this beta version firmware leaked online?

See below, the apps button has a square border, and the weather widget clock's font is slightly bolder and number 1 has a foot. Also the weather widget background graphics (clouds and the sun's position) is also different.

View attachment 6040530

There is another screenshot of a beta touchwiz firmware. The weather widget is like the screenshot above, but the apps button doesn't have the square borders.

Has any of these firmware ever leaked, and is there a place I can get it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
This is an 11 year old phone, if that firmware was ever leaked it most likely would have been shared here.

At first I thought it was just the IMEI that fell out during the flashing, but it's still there and matches the phone's IMEI when I bought it.

Hello, I am looking for firmware for the Jlinkz S107 tablet.

Specifically: S107_vfa0630_20160808

Would anyone have one available please
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] KamaL:
Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a slim case for my Zfold4 with hinge protection. No need for any other special features such as kickstand, just the slimmest possible case.

I had the Creese cover for a while, which was nice, but it had some flaws - the front cover was awful with very high edges, and the magnet in the hinge cover interfered with the spen.

Any other recommendations?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] sean22922:
This one is my favorite so far.

Although this one has no spen slot and I'm not sure you can accept the edges of this case.

But this one is great with its slim and texture. Also you can put your phone evenly on flat surface without tilting.

If you want the spen and lower edges, another one I recommend is Spigen.

The one I used before is this, it has lower edges and hinge cover, but still no spen.

Another one is without hinge cover, but it's slim and with this spen slot.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] KamaL:
Thanks !

The araree looks nice, but I'm wondering how comfortable it is to hold the phone with those edges and how much bulk it adds. What matters to me is to be a slim as possible, I don't need an spen holder or kickstand as that will surely add bulk
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] sean22922:
The edge won't makes you feel sharp or bulky, except the coners has more height because of the balance design.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] KamaL:
Thanks.

Important question - how is using the front screen with the cover? Most of these covers, apart from the Samsung ones, have very high and uncomfortable front cover edges that makes typing quite difficult. How is it on this one?

BTW, do you have the black or clear one? I can't see any videos of the black one?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] sean22922:
From my personal aspect, the front cover edges are good enough.

I have the black one, and for the video, here's what I found.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] KamaL:
Thanks

Interestingly, in the uk the one with the spen slot is noticeably cheaper. I wonder if the spen part can be detached, as I don't need it really
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] _GRIZZLY_:
Look for this:

https://www.amazon.com/TORRAS-MIL-Grade-Protection-Invisible-Protective/dp/B0BGJTDWBN?th=1

Slim with hinge protection like you looking.

It's expensive so I wait for pricing to buy this for my Fold 5
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] KamaL:
That looks very nice, but definitely too expensive for a case.

[Windows 11] DNaeve:
I see that a lot of people like Firefox. I don't know, I used it years ago, but I guess I got hooked on everything Google has been doing. I'm a die-hard Chrome user. Edge starts up when you click on links in your widgets or search bar. You have to open your task manager to shut it down. Edge is just a pain. BTW, you can't uninstall it no matter what you do. Microsoft made sure of that.

Have you tried that? Yes, it opens the uninstall button on the apps manager, but it still won't uninstall it. Thanks anyway. :cool:
[Windows 11] User.Hemlock:
It didn't work for you? It did for me.. I don't remember it I used the uninstall button in Settings or in Control Panel, or whether I used a 3rd party uninstaller like Revo or BCUninstaller. Like I mentioned in my last comment, you could try one of those.

How to Uninstall Microsoft Edge​

This method requires you to use the command prompt. First, though, you’ll need to open Windows in safe mode by restarting your PC.

Open Settings

Press “Windows logo key + I” on your keyboard to open “settings.” Select “recovery.”

Restart Your Computer

Under “recovery options” beside “advanced startup,” click “restart now.” Your PC will restart immediately.

Click “Troubleshoot”

Under “choose an option,” select “troubleshoot > advanced > options > startup settings > restart.” You may be asked to enter your BitLocker recovery key.

Choose “Safe Mode”

After your PC restarts, a list of options will appear. Select “4” or press “F4” to start your PC in safe mode.

Open the Windows Command Prompt

Press the Windows key on your keyboard and search for the Windows command prompt in the search tab. Click “run as administrator.’’ You’ll be asked to confirm if you want the program to make changes to your device. Click “yes.”

Open the List of Edge Folders

After the command prompt opens, enter the following command to see the list of folders that have “edge” in their name: dir “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge*” (make sure to include the quotation marks). This will generate the list of Microsoft Edge folders on your device.

Remove the Edge Folders

To remove the Edge folders, enter rmdir /s / q “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge” and replace “Edge” in the command with each of the Edge folder names in turn. Doing this will delete each of the folders, uninstalling Edge from your device.

How to Stop Microsoft Edge From Coming Back​

You can prevent Windows from reinstalling Edge on your device by making edits in the Windows registry editor. The Windows registry is a database containing the configuration settings that enable Windows to function correctly. Changes that need to be made to the registry are often unavailable elsewhere on the system.

Launch the Registry Editor

Press the “Windows key + R” on your keyboard. Type “regedit” and click “OK.” Windows will ask you to confirm if you want the editor to make changes to your device. Click “OK.”

Locate the Microsoft Folder in the Registry Editor

In the registry editor, open the Microsoft folder in the following path: HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE\Software\Microsoft.

Create a New Key

Right-click on the Microsoft folder. Select “new” and then “key” from the context menu. Without the quotation marks, name the new key “EdgeUpdate.”

Create Another Key

Right-click on “EdgeUpdate.” Select “new” and then click “DWORD (32-bit) Value.” This will create a new key inside the EdgeUpdate key this time. Right-click on this new key and rename it to “DoNotUpdateToEdgeWithChromium.”

Change the Value Data

Double-click on the second key you created. Under “value data,” change the “0” to “1.” Click “OK.”

Following these steps will ensure your OS can’t reinstall Microsoft Edge. You can undo this by changing the value data back to “0.”

[Windows 11] DNaeve:
Yeah, I just gave up on it. I've been trying to get rid of it for years. I thought I had it one time, but I guess a Windows update must have reinstalled it and it got locked into the system. This was on my Windows 10 computer, and I do have Revo Pro installed. I'm not even going to try it on my Windows 11 computer. I've been using Windows since Windows 95 came out, so I know you have to be careful with Microsoft. I don't want to do something I'll regret.

[Touch HD General] DavidMc0:
I've been using my Touch HD for 8 days now, everything's been great until now.

The headphone socket has stopped working properly - I only get sound through 1 headphone when the jack is fully inserted, and only get stereo by pulling it out by 2mm or so.

Has anyone else had this issue, or does anyone know of a simple fix for it?

I bought this as an unwanted upgrade from someone, so would Orange UK (who it was originally from) or HTC would offer any support? I guess not, but wonder if I took it to an Orange store if they'd ask for proof of a contract or just fix it (any experience in this matter could be very handy!)?

Thanks for any help or thoughts!
[Touch HD General] arifhanid:
I had the same problem but quickly realised that the jack needs to be pushed in firmly.

Works fine now!
[Touch HD General] DavidMc0:
Thanks for the reply. I don't think it's quite the same problem - on my HD pushing it in firmly results in getting sound from only one earphone, I need to pull it back to get stereo. I think a contact must have moved to the wrong position, not sure though.

Hi all, i just got my Blackstone last tuesday and i have the same problem. Only i don't have stereo even with the headphone plug a bit out of the jacket.
