(Q) User access to external Sd card

I've the Verizon 8.3x, and I did the small app on sd hack. It works, but I'm plagued by the mysterious 'sd ejected' glitch that only a power cycle resolves. I digress, but not without reason. I suspect that my daughter's restricted user account's lack of access option to the sd card is related to either the hack (doubtful), or the damned ejection glitch (more likely). I'm also suspicious that I could've missed a setting in creating her account. What say y'all?

APN settings not available to this user?

I recently swapped over from an o2 HTC one mini 2 to an unlocked vodafone M8 and i've ran into a problem. I did a search on the forum and found an old thread that didn't have an answer so didn't want to bump that one.
My problem is that i can't use my O2 mobile data on the new M8, also the APN settings are not available to me. I can make APN however they don't save and cannot be selected in the settings.
If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated greatly

New User - CyanogenMod Questions

Hello,

I received my Nexus 6P yesterday and got my SIM card activated without any issues at Verizon. I immediately took it home, unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, and then flashed CyanogenMod's latest nightly. After booting in, wireless networks weren't detected, and I only had 3G (no 4G LTE as I should). I restored my backup of the stock ROM that I made in TWRP and it hung at the Google logo. I'm not sure why. I then flashed all the latest factory restore images (MTC19X) to get it working again and determined that the issues I had in CyanogenMod might have happened due to the vendor.img I had on my phone at the time not being compatible with that build of CM13.

My questions are:

1) What are the known issues that would likely occur due to vendor.img being a different version than what CM13 was based on? The concept of vendor.img is new to me. I haven't had this, as far as I know, on any of my other phones (granted I'm coming from a locked Samsung Galaxy S5 that I've had for almost 2 years)

2) How can you easily tell which vendor.img CM was based on so you know which one to flash?

3) Is there anything else I should be made aware of before attempting to flash CM13 again?

4) While using CM13, do most people recommend a custom kernel? If so, which one and how stable is it? What are the benefits of switching from the stock kernel, and how simple is it to go back if there's a problem?

Thanks!!

Best Current Advice for new Fire Phone user? (battery life, reduce heat, carousel)

Just starting out with the Fire Phone, unlocked version being used with T-Mobile.

Found the YouTube instructional video for loading the Google Play Store and got it to work fine after about 27 updates to the phone and store downloaded.

After trying a half dozen different launchers, went back to the stock version as seemed to work the smoothest and couldn't get any others to do what I wanted anyway.

Questions for current users:

1. Phone gets warmer than any phone I've used before. Is this normal?

2. Any way to dock a useful time/date widget and a weather widget on the home screen (or front of the Carousel)?

3. Any way to get rid of or minimize the mostly useless Carousel without using a different launcher? I'd rather see my wallpaper and place a few icons around the screen, then it'd be perfect.

4. If no way to remove the Carousel without using a different launcher, is there a launcher that gives a simple, clean interface and the ability to have your own wallpaper, a date/time and weather widget on home screen, and standard icon and icon folder placement ability? None of the ones I tried gave me that. I find it bizarre that custom wallpaper is not a standard option on every single launcher.

5. Battery life is pretty bad. Walking around for just about two hours yesterday playing Pokemon Go drained my 100% battery entirely. Is that normal?

6. I'm seeing people mention "turning off fancy stuff" and the like in threads here to improve battery life, but cannot find where anyone says what specifically to turn off or how to turn it off...help?

7. Any way to customize the left-hand tilt menu? It is mostly useless links...the "Music" link doesn't even go to Prime Music -- what's up with that? I'd like to customize what gets launched from the links, but it seems impossible.

8. The "swipe up" back button feature is really annoying as it is so picky and just plain doesn't work in some situations and some apps. Any way to improve it?

9. Any way to tell what apps are currently running to close some? My last phone would show the list if you held down the main button, but this phone just brings up a microphone service when I do that.

10. Is Alexa on the Fire Phone a junior version? It can't do anything I ask it and I'm used to Alexa from my Fire TV. I want to do stuff like "Alexa Play Adele" or "Alexa What Time is It?" but it just shows the "I can't do that" text. (On a related point...any way to get the "Okay Google..." talking function?)

11. Is the GPS a bit weak? Maps don't always load, rather annoying.

12. When I'm talking on the phone, I can't figure out how to get the screen to turn on again if I have to enter numbers, change speakerphone, or check something. Others phones just automatically turn on when I take it away from my ear, but the screen just stays off with this one. Is there a button to push to get it turn on again?

My primary uses for the phone are Prime Music, the Camera, and texting, so it is really a great phone for me. With more reliable mapping, better battery life, and a good back button, it'd be an excellent phone despite the other above gripes.

If you can help with any of the above questions, that'd be great. Thanks!

Non verizon user, what should I be aware of?

I am new to androids. I been using a ZTE Z826 for the past few months I want to make the full jump. I really like the turbo 2, and the price is awesome.

I am in Canada on koodo(telus) network. Bands check out.[cant post frequencycheck link since I am new]

So anything I should be aware of with droid 2 as a android newbie and non verizon user?

Will I have issues tethering, or is that strictly disabled on VZW UNL plan?
Can I install apps from unknown sources?
... anything else?

I dont think the lack of root will be that big of an issue for me. Until now my only issue with lack of root on the zte was inability to change the MAC and modify the hosts file for adblocking.

Moved user app to system app, now cannot launch / find app

I've searched everywhere and cannot find a solution. I have android 5.1.1 rooted, have moved an app from user app to system app

Tried two ways via es file explorer: moving just base.apk from downloaded app to /system/app and also moving entire com.xxxxx folder to /system/apps
Set permissions to rwx r-- rwx for entire com.xxx folder
Set permissions to rwx r-- --- for apks

Now application manager shows the app installed
Play store does not, just shows install button
Have reset multiple times
After initially moving app and reboot got the "optimizing app" message

Seems everything is correct but cannot find way to launch the app! Any help is appreciated!! Thanks!!

Edge (Snapdragon Variant). New user, my positive and criticism remarks.

I have been very happy user of my speedy Note 3 for 3 years, my wife upgraded phone and so I inherited an opportunity to take over her old SM-N915FY which is Note Edge.

I always liked SM-N915FY, the dual edge screen concept and it felt exclusive device as the phone is not for everyone and sort of a rare item you don't see every day. My wife had this phone for a year and I decided to try it out before I abandon my beloved Note 3. It's being 3 days since using it and it's is running MM 6.0.1. My overall impression of the phone design is good, I like phone's look and size for what it is. I do have some disappointing remarks on its inconsistent and often laggy UI. Also I find that phone get heated up easily. I won't talk about the actual MM OS as its not fair on the phone, so my comments are model specific.

So i listed below my thoughts, criticism and experience, I would very like to know your user opinion especially round my comments?

I should mention that my phone was factory reset after MM update and then rooted.

Positive

- Samsung still update the phone
- Fingerprint scanner
- Love the stylus
- Great display screen and resolution
- Phone is slim
- Nice concept maybe the only dual screen edge there will be
- Love the front of the phone screen, the white bezel has settle cross pattern making it look more interesting
- Good camera
- Love how edge screen takes over the notifications and app controls
- Love the typing keyboard and how far apart keys are spaced out
- S note and memo looks nice and spacious to write on, thanks to the high resolution display
- Using stylus and writing with the phone on the table is a lot more comfortable, i find my hand rests a lot easier on the curved edge as with Note 3 it was kind of half on table and half on the screen.
- Love the 'Manage panels' for the edge screen

Criticism:

User Interface (UI): major flaws here in my opinion.
-After update to 6.0.1 the edge screen when inactive shrinks to smaller size then up on interaction it expands to its normal size, this is annoying and often during the transition it lags.
-Edge screen expands and it overlaps into the main screen UI. Terrible design idea.
-Conventional Notifications Bar that slides down has large gaps on left and right side. So it doesn't stretch blue colour to the screen borders. Poor design.
-Disproportionate and inconsistent look. With such a lovely screen and high resolution, problem as per an example: the home screen has really small phone and app drawer icons on the bottom, but comparing that to icons in the drawer and these are much bigger.
-Drawer is poorly optimised, with such high resolution screen whey can't set icons be smaller and arranged in rows of at least 5 icons.

UI lag:
- Swiping between drawer windows often is not jerky and not a smooth effect.
- Edge screen as mentioned above often during the transition lags.
- Pulling down notifications can be laggy
- Phone often lags in the transition between unlocking screen and showing home screen.

Performances
- Generally the phone feels under powered as per UI lag remarks.
- Phone tends to heat up often
- Had phone on e crashing and rebooting once in 3 days and asking for backup password for the fingerprint scanner.

Touch screen
- Hard to explain but I notice that it sometimes fails to register my swipes especially the one from top of the screen to expand notification bar. Sometimes I can swipe 2 to 3 and it won't register my swipe.
- I also had the above problem swiping other areas of the screen but I wonder if it's to do with phone taking time to wake up after screen on command.

Other
- The back of the phone comparing to Note 3's faux leather effect feels plastic and cheap.

Desktop User Agent on Chrome

Hello everybody

I have just upgraded from, I believe, Lollipop to Nougat on my Nexus 6. On the old OS I had Chrome use Desktop mode on default. I distinctly remember that I did it with chrome-command-line in /data/local.

I tried that again, I copied the file, removed the .txt and set permissions to 755. I tried rebooting and killing chrome. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it with Titanium Backup. Nothing. about://version still shows android.

Does anybody know how I can beat this damn browser into submission?

Regards,

Marco
