    S8 OS update woes

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 07:53 PM PDT

    I've got an S8, and after upgrading to Software version R16NW.G950USQU2CRB9 from Verizon on March 22nd, I've noticed that whenever I get a call and my phone isn't on silent or on DND, the ringtone won't play. Furthermore, my default apps aren't being respected either and there are issues with the weather app widget as well. Is there a way to re-install the OS and keep my apps? Or to re-apply the update somehow?

    EDIT: Booting into recovery mode first takes me to the "Installing OS updates" screen, and then it ends with an android icon sideways saying "NO commands"

    LG V20 Stuck in kernel crash - HELP!

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 06:22 PM PDT

    Hi, today I was working on getting some more root tweaks for my LG V20 H990DS when one of the tweaks started causing a boot loop on my phone. The device would get to the life's good screen but then not boot any further. I couldn't remember how to fix this so I reinstalled magisk and a kernel, but that caused there to be this kernel crash error. I tried reflashing the kdz with LGUP but the device was "unknown". Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    What's the deal with gaming on Android tablets?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 02:17 PM PDT

    My Shield K1, just over a year old, is dying. The charge port has gotten spotty and I can't consistently recharge.

    Looking at the 3DMark scores for mobile devices, it looks like the top choice is the Pixel C, which is no longer available. Second is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3, minimum price: $450 with only 32GB internal storage. Third: Shield K1, no longer available. Fourth, the Xiaomi Mi Pad, no longer available...

    Well, you get the idea. All the top-performing tablets are discontinued except for the Samsung.

    What am I missing? Are there high-performing devices out there that haven't made the list? Are they all going out of business due to the Nintendo Switch?

    Trouble recovering data from "adb backup --twrp"

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 07:12 PM PDT

    Hey all,

    I have two backups I made using "adb backup --twrp" while my OnePlus one phone was in TWRP recovery 3.2.1-0 running LineageOS with a recent build (don't know exactly which one, but it was from Feb/March 2018). Each of the backups are about 6.0GB so they appear to be complete backups. I am trying to recover one app and its data (Signal/Textsecure) but the rest would be nice too. The backup files have .ab extensions. I am fairly android savvy and have been working on this for days, your help is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED! I have access to Windows and Linux.

    I have tried the following:

    • "adb restore filename.ab" while in TWRP recovery. It appears to restore (progress bar goes, it reports success, etc), but no apps are restored. I have tried this both with totally wiped partitions/system/data and with a fresh install of LineageOS. As far as I can tell, nothing happens. When doing a restore after a full wipe and trying to restart, TWRP warns that no OS is installed.

    • Restoring using the restore menu in TWRP. Immediately upon clicking on the backup, the phone restarts and TWRP opens again. Not sure what's going on there.

    • Opening the backups in Titanium Backup, Nandroid manager, and a few other apps. None of them worked. Titanium backup crashes instantly in recover from ADB, doesn't recognize the backups in nandroid recovery mode.

    • Opening the .ab files in an archive manager, all of which report it isn't a valid tar archive. One time I was able to get a list of directories, and things looked pretty right, so I know at least some of the data should be there. Running variants of this command with different skip values, none of which produces a valid tar file:

    • dd if=file.ab bs=512 skip=1 of=test.tar

    Questions:

    • Is there a way to extract data from these backups in Linux or Windows outside of Android? From what I read, TWRP adds some stuff in the headers which makes them invalid tar files, and that doing "adb backup --twrp" is different from a regular TWRP backup.

    • Why is TWRP crashing? Is there a log I can look at for this and how? Maybe i can find a way to diagnose it that way.

    • Where does Signal store message data? I have a flat-file backup that may have this information depending on where it's stored.

    • Can I somehow convert these backups to a different format that might be better-tolerated by TWRP or other apps?

    • Any good utilities for reading a corrupted tar file? I think all this utility would need to do is skip through the junk at the start.

    Notification banners are very large and intrusive, I wanted to know if I could make them smaller like this.

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 06:40 PM PDT

    I would like to auto sync my .mp3 files as soon as downloaded them from my mac/pc to my Android phone(Oreo if that matters). Doing this activity with a cable is a pain, just wondering if there is any easy way to do it. - Thank you.

    Pixel issues please help

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 09:50 PM PDT

    Hello everyone, My girlfriend has a pixel one since the latest Oreo update her phone would crash when a phone call was received or sent out. Google said the motherboard was the issue and they had seen it quite a bit. I was surprised when they would say they would overnight a motherboard and replace it for free. We obviously took the offer up. After the replacement no issues were present until we reset the phone to the latest update. The phone then lost all function and software of the fingerprint scanner, and would not charge unless the device was off. We once again complained to Google and the local shop. They once again shipped in a new motherboard and replaced it for free. And we finally did the latest update tonight and wouldn't you know all the same issues. We have no idea what to do or what actions to take. I want to demand a new pixel 2 from Google but feel that is a steep asking price even thought they have sent two motherboards on overnight shipping to us. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

    Moto Z2 Play or Xiaomi Mi A1?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 09:46 PM PDT

    They are like $150us apart, the Z2 with a battery mod. The Z2 Play has better display, camera and has fast charging, plus the battery mod. The Mi A1 has dual camera.

    Galaxy S9 doesnt take pictures

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 05:52 PM PDT

    Having a problem with my Galaxy S9, when it takes a picture it changes it to just a gray screen with an exclamation point. The camera works but once you snap a picture it just changes whatever picture you took to the gray screen. It does work just fine when I change the save destination to storage device vs SD.

    Anyone else having problems with YouTube's picture-in-picture mode?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 09:25 PM PDT

    From time to time the little window won't move until I force stop the app, other times the app won't minimize despite me pushing all the buttons, it forces me to restart the phone. I'm using a custom ROM with Android 8

    Finding potential in a low spec budget android tablet

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 09:02 PM PDT

    So I want ideas on how to turn my LG G-PAD F2 into a better device. I have done most developer options needed to keep it running smooth, and a nice launcher... But I need something else. I would not mind rooting it, if that's an option for a tablet.

    I honestly just want to run some games better Ex: PUBG Mobile

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 09:00 PM PDT

    Any song that I download always has its original album art replaced with another song that I have downloaded on my phone and it's always the same album art that replaces them. I don't know how to fix this so if you guys have any solutions for a fix I'd really appreciate it :)

    How do you scroll up or arrow up within a textbox?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 05:00 PM PDT

    I have an LG phone if this makes any difference. When I try to edit a long reddit post for example, the cursor appears at the very end and I cannot view the beginning text in order to edit it. On a PC I would simply arrow up. How do I do the same with an android phone?

    Which Open GApps allows Google Assistant?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 02:42 PM PDT

    My Nexus 5X will eventually stop getting updates from Google, so I'm thinking of hopping to LineageOS before that does happen ( I know it'll be a while yet, but I might as well do it sooner than later)

    Which size will let me use Google Assistant? It's something I actually use quite a bit

    Settings changing after reboot

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 08:36 PM PDT

    I have a LG G4 bootloader is unlocked but am currently running a debloated un-rooted stock android 6.0

    Recently some settings will revert back to default when I reboot my phone. It took me forever to figure out what was doing it.

    Specifically: FB Messenger chat heads requires permission to draw over apps every reboot.

    I block notifications from certain apps (Walgreens, AliExpress, etc) they all go back to allowing notifications.

    Also i went into battery optimizations and turned it OFF for Pokémon go. This keeps the app from shutting down when minimized. Every time I reboot it clears the check box.

    Any ideas? This is drivinge batty.

    How do I change the way my notifications look?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 04:35 PM PDT

    I'm currently on Android 7.0 Nougat. On my lock screen and home screen the bar my notifications are in are coloured white. This simply looks ugly on top of my mostly black/blue wallpaper and I desperately want to change it without using a different colour wallpaper.

    How to set default alarm sound? (SGS7E)

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 04:35 PM PDT

    Hi, I own a Samsung galaxy s7 edge and recently I got sick of my alarm sound. Every night I yell Google assistant when to wake me up and it sets an alarm and it is always the same song. At the time I set up that song with the help of zedge where they have a "apply as alarm" option. This time I've downloaded a new song in another way (not with zedge) and now I want to change the default alarm tone to the new song. How do I do that?

    How to completely disable nav bar?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 04:35 PM PDT

    I want to completely disable my nav bar because I want to free up some room on my screen but I can't figure out how to do it. I'm not talking about immersive mode because the nave bar comes back when you swipe anywhere near the bottom of the screen. It's quite frustrating cause I want to control my phone with swipe gestures.

    I've tried adding 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" to my build.prop file but it didn't do anything.

    Having problems with Android auto

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 04:31 PM PDT

    Hi all, I wonder if someone can give me some assistance with Android auto but this week has suddenly seemed to have issues with regards to what apps I can use whilst it's in use.

    All of a sudden whenever I try to listen to Spotify or to podcasts or to TuneIn Radio the app doesn't seem to recognise that I have these other apps installed and I can only use Google music play which quite frankly I'd rather not.

    Does anyone have any idea if I've done something wrong with the settings or if that's an update and things have just gone pear-shaped or anything of that nature I have made sure that all of the apps have permissions allowed that's about the height of my abilities when it comes to Android as I'm still a bit of a newbie.

    Any help that I received is obviously greatly appreciated, many thanks

    Motorola Projector

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 04:29 PM PDT

    Is it possible to use the Motorola Mod Projector as a computer Projector? For instance, having a "fake" Android phone hook up to the projector and connects to a computer via hdmi or USB and allows you to use it as a projector?
