    Galaxy S6 Black Screen of Death after using Gear VR.

    Posted: 02 Mar 2018 01:49 AM PST

    I am using a Samsung Galaxy S6, on AT&T. I do not know the version or build (But it is up to date I am fairly sure)

    Tonight I decided to use my gear VR for the first time in awhile, and when I did, it gave the notification to let my phone cool 3 or 4 times. This is normal for me while using the VR. But then when I decided I was done and unplugged my phone from the headset, it was on a black screen and will not turn on. I believe that overheating may be the cause of what went wrong.

    Things to note: 1. My phone was charged and I know that it is capable of charging at the moment. It has been above 80% since it crashed

    1. I have tried to perform a soft reset by using the volume down and power button, and although it goes through the restart process, after the AT&T logo loads up, it brings me right back to the black screen. I have tried this about 8 times and have had no success on any of them. It brings me through the Samsung galaxy loading screen, the samsung loading screen, then the AT&T loading scree, then goes black.

    2. The touchscreen buttons to either side of the home button still light up when touched. The LED at the top, vibrations from notifications, and the vibration when plugged into a charger all work as well. Also, when it is on the black screen and I hold the screenshot buttons, I feel the vibration that is typical of taking a screenshot. This to me indicates that my phone is still on but for whatever reason cannot display anything. (Update I have had more success with it being on (see #7))

    3. At one point while I was attempting to restart it using the power and volume down buttons, the camera screen appeared and quickly went away, and was displaying what was infront of the camera. This seems like a good sign to me.

    4. I have read that if you hold the power button, home button, and volume up button, it will boot in recovery mode, and that I should feel a vibration at some point. When I attempt this, I feel no vibration and the screen does not do anything different.

    5. I do not want my files and data lost and will sooner take apart my phone, remove the sim card, and buy a new phone, than to lose all my shit.

    6. The only time when I can get the screen to display itself, is during phone calls, and when the camera is on. Both of these seem to work fine, but anything else is completely out of the question.

    If my phone is screwed for good, is there any way to save my files and transfer them to a new phone? Either digitally or physically?

    This person appears to have the exact same issue: https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Smartphones-Tablets-Wearables/Galaxy-S6-Black-Screen-except-during-Calls-and-using-the-Camera/td-p/327225

    PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

    What is the final verdict on how to treat a new laptop battery? Charge for 24 hours before first use? Or it doesn't matter? Let it run all the way to dead?

    Prevent Win 10 from installing touchpad driver

    Posted: 02 Mar 2018 01:09 AM PST

    I have an older Dell Latitude E6410 with Win 10. Everything works fine except the Dell driver for the touchpad which makes it unusable. However, if I uninstall it and use the generic Win 10 driver then the touchpad works fine. Now, whenever I restart the laptop the Dell touchpad driver installs automatically and I have to manually uninstall it again. I have tried the Device Installation Settings option but it does nothing.

    Any help is appreciated. Running Win 10 1709, OS Build 16299,248

    My computer decided it won't connect to the wifi anymore

    Posted: 01 Mar 2018 03:47 PM PST

    1. My other devices can connect to the wifi and work fine

    2. My computer was connecting to the wifi yesterday without problems and I didn't change anything or download anything since then

    3. I just updated all my drivers and it didn't fix the problem.

    4. I am currently plugged in via ethernet cable.

    If you could help me troubleshoot, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Edit:

    I also already uninstalled the wi-fi drivers and reinstalled them.

    Edit2:

    So I left to run some errands and it was working when I got back. Not sure why. Thanks everyone this subreddit is seriously amazing with all the quick responses. I didn't expect that.

    My Gmail was hacked - how do I figure out what they saw?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2018 10:41 AM PST

    Someone accessed my personal Gmail account yesterday without my consent. As soon as I found out (I got several forgotten password emails in the span of a few minutes - I presume they were trying to lock me out of my account), I changed my Gmail password and enabled two factor authentication, as well as changing my passwords for my Facebook, other email addresses, etc.

    Is there a way for me to determine how long they had access to my account, and what they accessed? All that I can tell from my end is that they forwarded a couple of my personal emails to their own email addresses. The time between when the first email was sent and when I changed my password was about an hour, so they accessed my account for at least that much time. If I could access all Gmail logins in the past few days I'd imagine that would be sufficient, but when I click the details button at the bottom of my Gmail inbox it only goes back about a day.

    Here's my Gmail logins (accessible from the details button at the bottom of the Gmail inbox).

    Here's my recently used devices page (I've removed a couple of details).

    For context, I've had a difficult relationship with the person who I think accessed the account, and I believe they have tried to compile information, emails, etc. that would compromise my relationships with my coworkers and friends.

    List all results in a website via URL kung-fu

    Posted: 02 Mar 2018 04:23 AM PST

    I am looking for a job, this website (linkup) has 16K jobs listed on X pages of 25 jobs listed per page, I dont want to click and scroll through all this crap manually a lot of the jobs repeat or are bogus. I want to copy all the text down locally, and use regex or excel to manipulate the data and filter out the crap. So I am looking for a fancy URL query to list all jobs in my search, not paged results.

    The URls I am working with.

    Is there a way to replace syskey.exe on Windows 7 ?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2018 12:23 AM PST

    So a relative fell for one of those Indian tech support scams and they managed to syskey her install. I was able to unlock it with some instructions on Microsoft's support site using a boot dvd and fixing the registry.

    Since she has a few issues that makes her susceptible to these types of things I was thinking of just deleting syskey.exe from the System 32 but when I did that sfc kicked it and just brought it back.

    So I had another idea, I was thinking of coding something simple that would do the following

    • Replaces syskey
    • Kills a bunch of remote desktop processes
    • Runs rkill
    • Puts up a dialogue box identifying the scam
    • Updates and scans using mbam's command line switches
    • reboots the PC

    I got something coded that works in a VM I made but when I tried to replace syskey.exe windows freaked out and recovered the original one.

    I know I could just update her to Windows 10 1709 where syskey is no longer included but I doubt her laptop would handle Windows 10 (it's a 8 year old Celeron) .

    Is there a way to just disable sfc on a specific file (in this case the syskey.exe)

    Wacom tablet not detecting Pen.

    Posted: 02 Mar 2018 03:51 AM PST

    So after a week of not using my Wacom tablet, I plugged it in today to do some photoshop stuff, but the tablet wasn't picking up the pen. Strangely enough It was still picking up my hands with the touch feature. I reinstalled the drivers several times, rebooted my PC and tried a different Pen, but still no luck. I swapped to another, but smaller tablet I have and the pens seem to work fine on this tablet.

    I'm confused as It was working perfectly the last time I used it, and hasn't moved from it's place on the desk.

    Is it possible my Tablet's Pen sensor is just broken? If so is it possible to fix it?

    How Can I ensure I don’t get DDOS’ed

    Posted: 02 Mar 2018 03:47 AM PST

    So today while playing fortnite my internet went down which was super strange as this hasn't happened in over two months. At first I assumed it was the same issue again as last time (bad wiring which the company fixed) but then my brother came into my room and said he thinks we got DDOS'ed.

    Apparently a guy went into his lobby of fortnite and asked "How's California" and then my internet went down for about 5 minutes. I unplugged our modem and when that didn't work I tried unplugging the router. I'm not sure if that did it or the guy decided to just stop doing whatever he was doing but after that he blocked my brother on PSN and we haven't had an issue since.

    My questions

    1) How did he manage to do that?

    2) how can I ensure I doesn't happen again?

    I have a nighthawk x4 router. It's pretty expensive and is supposed to have tons of neat features which I've never really checked out so maybe there's something in there I could setup to make sure I can't get attacked like this again? It would really suck if someone decided to drop the internet for a day instead of a couple minutes. Thanks!

    Moving pc that I use as home Plex server to other part of house which means I will no longer be able to direct connect to the router. What’s a good wireless card that’s cost effective to still be able for the sever to be effective over WiFi vs being directly connected with a lan cable.

    Could lag for bluetooth headphones be because of the adapter?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2018 03:29 AM PST

    I tried out some bluetooth headset, but since my pc doesn't have integrated bluetooth, I have one of those tiny dongles. The lag was huge, I'd say around a second.

    Noticed my pc getting choppy when playing a game, when investigating that my two sticks of RAM are showing as single channel when it Shouldnt.

    Posted: 02 Mar 2018 03:22 AM PST

    I have two ram sticks (2133mhz, 8gb each stick), it recognises that both sticks are there and operating and states that there is 16gb of memory available but does not recogize it as dual channle. now this was a curve ball for me,

    Im assuming that it is indeed the ram sticks that are causing me problems though I could well be wrong. but it appears to be the only sign i can think of that doesnt seem right.

    could this be causing the choppiness when playing and if not is it a problem with a fix?

    Problems with Helvetica (font) appearing compressed in browsers

    Posted: 02 Mar 2018 03:18 AM PST

    So this happens on a few websites for me and is not CSS related as far as I can tell.

    When viewing websites who force Helvetica sans-serif I get problems with the font looking compressed, this is especially bad when the font is also in bold as in the picture below.

    I assume this may be a font issue, could it be that I have to reinstall the font on the server?

    Retasking Audio Jack as Output

    Posted: 02 Mar 2018 03:11 AM PST

    Hi,

    Just got my speaker today so I am trying to have both my speaker and headphone plugged in at all time but there is only one rear green output jack and connecting it to the front jack would destroy my cable management.

    So I searched up on Google on retasking other rear audio jack but that didn't help much. I tried connecting the speaker's jack to the (blue) line in jack and retask it using ASUS's modified version of the Realtek audio driver (ASUS call it SupremeFX) but it only offered the choice of "Line in" or "Side speaker Out" when I plug it in.

    Does anyone have any suggestion as to what I should do (except for using a splitter)? Thanks.

    We live in an age where music, film and books are increasingly becoming digitalised, with online streaming and downloading increasing and personal ownership of physical copies decreasing. Are physical music, book and film formats still relevant in 2018?

    Description of problem

    I got a bit of an odd issue with several computers, i work in an cinema fx school and i use about 10 computers for rendering simulations. To let students use those computers i setted them up in a room with one screen / keyboard / mouse to switch from one to another when they need to access directly to the computer and a remote configuration using Teamviewer (now testing with AnyDesk).The problem is, when they're trying to access through the remote connection (ether it's TeamViewer or Anydesk), if the screen is not directly connected to the computer, some softwares (SideFX Houdini, Photoscan, Speed Tree, etc.) are showing blank instead of their regular UI. As soon as the screen is plugged back they're functioning again and i can't figure why.

    When this issue began

    When we switched the computers to a new room, they worked fine before.

    Recurring issue

    Computer's ethernet connection auto switching from 1Gbps to 100Mbps, FRUSTRATING

    Posted: 01 Mar 2018 08:58 PM PST

    Hey guys, hope someone can help me out with this. I have a Netgear R7000 router, and I am running a 50' Cat6 ethernet cable to my PC. I just changed my internet plan and I am now getting 150Mbps, used to be on 30Mbps so I didnt notice this problem before.

    Anyway, if I reboot my router, and check my router settings "internet port" statistics page, you can see that my LAN4 port that my computer is plugged into is running at 1000Mbps, and if I do a speedtest I get my full 150Mbps of internet speed. But after a few hours of use, or my computer being restarted, the port speed on whatever LAN port my computer is plugged into changes to 100Mbps, and then I only get 2/3 of my internet speed.

    The WAN connection on the router never changes from 1000Mbps, so it's not my internet slowing down, definitely something in my home network. I still get my full 150Mbps over wifi when the LAN port is running slowly. And I have also tried using a brand new Cat6 cable/different LAN ports on router, with the same issue. I don't know much about networking but I know the two ends of the cable have to "negotiate" a speed, so I tried going into my Realtek ethernet adapters properties, and changing my speed to 1.0 Gbps Full duplex, but that doesn't seem to fix it, and I cant find anything in my router settings to lock the speed to 1Gbps.

    If I can't figure it out next thing I will try is installing DD-WRT on my router and seeing if there is a way to force 1Gbps with that firmware.

    If you have any tips they'd be greatly appreciated, thanks!
