Using S7 Edge WITHOUT screen protector

Hello guys! How are you?

I didn´t find some topic with this...I searched for good screen protector but it´s hard to find and to work it with some case...

I already bought the AmazingThing screen protector to try it (on the topic off screen protectors it seens to be the better one until now), but didn´t instal it yet because i bought also a case and I want to try this before because I think that they won´t work together...

Well...this topic is to users who are using it without any screen protector!

- How is your screen?
- It´s demaged or it´s ok?
- There are to many scratches?
- Just a few scratches that with screen turn on you can´t see it?

The first month with the S7E I used it withou screen protector and the screen was ok, no scratches until that time...after that I´m trying some screen protectors...but I´m tired of just try ****...

Thinking to use without but scared to fu**up the phone haha

Can't Downgrade from LOLLIPOP 5.0.2 using flashtool. please help

I had bricked my lg g2 which was running 4.4.2. i successfully got flashtool to reflash 4.2.2 and everything was working great. I was trying to go to 5.0 to play pokemon with root. So i updated the software OTA. When i got to the 5.0.2. the updated errored out when it was rebooting. Now I cant get and google services to work. i want to go back to kit kat now but the flashtool will not let me. every time i start it asks me if i want to cancel or retry. when i hit retry it doesnt work. And when i used to hit cancel it would start working anyway but it no longer works when i hit cancel either.

any help would be appreciated.

Using a Surface Pro 2, almost there, but seeking advice to go the rest of the way

I have a Surface Pro 2 that runs Remix OS PC 3 well enough, it just doesn't sleep it very well. Based on some complaints from regular Linux distributions I figured out that the lid closed switch freaks out on wakeup. That can be taken care of easily enough with a

Code:

---

echo LID0 disabled > /proc/acpi/wakeup

---

Now 90% of the time the tablet wakes up correctly. That last 10% it still has problems. What happens, and this was the same as before adjusting LID0, is the screen comes on full brightness, then either turns off or freezes after a few seconds. Either way, a reboot is required to fix it. I can usually get to the debug terminal, but the graphical display is broken.

Another remaining issue is the wifi. Once it's working, it works well enough, except that the region stuff isn't set, so the driver doesn't enable 5ghz. On Ubuntu

Code:

---

modprobe mwifiex reg_alpha2=US

---

will get it working, but the region information doesn't appear to be in Remix, because that doesn't enable 5ghz, or produce the expected cfg80211 initialization messages. Any advice on setting wifi region in Remix?

Is there any init.d type mechanism I can tap into? I tried using kernel adiutor's init.d emulation, but despite toast messages suggesting it's working, I still have to manually disable LID0.

Issue when Using SD card for apps

Hi all,
So thing is I just bought this magnificent smartphone but I'm having a hard time using the SD card for apps.
Apparently I cannot use it to install full apps but just additional files, but when even I try to install those I get error messages.
I have a 128gb sd card that I used to have on my note4 and have never had issues. I formatted it twice already.
Am i supposed to format it in a specific format?
See screenshots. Any suggestion is very much appreciated.
Thanks

How To Restore Everything Using Fastboot?

Hi.

I got into problem after flashing the Beta 7.0. I need to restore my phone using fastboot since the eRecovery that I got gave me only 3 options: update, reboot, shutdown.

I have tried flashing the system.img, boot.img and recovery (both stock and TWRP). During flashing everything looked OK without any error but I still get this when booted:

"Your device has been unlocked and cant be trusted - your device is booting now..." and it just stucked there.

Apps gone after restart - just green android icons - not using App2SD

Hello, dear experts!

I just got a new Lg G3 d855 32gb with stock android 6.0. I rooted and installed twrp according to the tutorial by tute123456.
I recovered my apps from an old phone (with android 5.1) using Titanium Backup Pro.
I made some custom settings in some apps, rearranged my apps on the homescreen, restarted the phone several times, etc.
At first everything worked flawless and as expected....

Then after another restart, suddenly almost all of my (about 150 of 200 apps) where gone and instead of their app icon a green android icon appeared on the home screen (see screenshot):


When i click on the green icon i get the message "this app is not installed". Also the apps are not showing up as installed anymore in google play store or in TitaniumBackup. BUT they still take up space in the application root folder (/data/data/...).



Of course i could recover the apps again with TitaniumBackup, but as i have arround 200 apps this would take a couple of time (at least 30 minutes)...
I guess that in fact the apps are not really gone but something has just broken the links to the apps. :confused:

So this is what i did so far... unfortunately without success:

1. I restarted the phone several times and waited long time before entering the sim code... no change!


2. i started Market doctor in TitaniumBackup, but the gone apps doesn't show up.


3. I wiped dalvik cache with TWRP, after restart the upgrading dialog box appears but only 56 (of arround 200) apps are rebuilt.


4. I tryed repair system in TWRP... no success!


5. I recovered all apps using TitaniumBackup again... the now uptaking space increased (!)... after a few restarts (maybe 10 to 12)... same thing again... funny little green android icons :eek:

I didn't ever move any apps to sdcard and never made use of app2sd. And i always took care not to restore any system apps with TitaniumBackup. :good:

Do you have any idea what happend to my android?
Why did everything work as expected even after some restarts?
Do have any idea how to recover my apps permanently ??

lg g3 keeps crashing & rebooting when using snapchat.

Hello :)
During the last 24 hours, my phone rebooted itself everytime I opened snapchat (something immediately,sometimes after 5-10 seconds). note: I didnt and still dont have this problem when the phone is charged.
I kept trying using snapchat till the phone started rebooting itself just by going into lockscreen (after couple of snapchat caused reboots) and once even rebooted twiced (without getting into lockscreen.
I took the battery out for a couple of hours and then rebooted the phone when charged. the phone didnt do any problems and I could use snapchat (same as before when the phone was charged.) but after a while when I unplugged it (no apps were open) it rebooted itself again.

now the phone is charged, and Im pretty stuck.

Any ideas guys?

Screen does not work properly after I tried to root my Galaxy S6 using Odin3

Hello, I'll get straight to the point. After I tried to root my phone the screen somehow messed up and when I try to press somewhere it on the opposite side, e.g. when I swipe to the right side, it swipes to the left side. I have tried to install a different rom, but it doesn't work. If anyone knows how to fix it please share!
Thank you for your help.

How to build a flashable recovery using img?

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to create a pre-rooted firmware using the PRFcreator.
In which case a FLASHABLE recovery is a must.
I could only find img format recoveries for Z5 compact at the moment.
Is there any way to convert the img recovery file into a flashable zip?
Does the "convert img to flashable .tar oden or something" thread help?
Thank you!

Lag in games when I am using a stock rom

So I have the following problem. I have Fulmics 5.3 or whatever the latest version is. I had that with Cloudy as well. I am having lag in games . A good example would be geometry dash. I did not have that lag with Cyanogenmod 13 . Any idea what the problem could be ?

Dash Charging While Using Android Auto

Hey guys,

I just installed a Pioneer 4200-NEX in my car. It has 2 one amp USB ports (one for carplay and one for android auto - so much for UNIVERSAL serial bus). Anyway, I have extra cigarette lighter ports in my car. I was wondering if there was a good way to splice together the power from the high-amp low-heat dash charging with the Android Auto USB cable. This would eliminate any lag since the phone wouldn't get hot. A spider cable must be possible, but I don't trust my knowledge in hardware hacking to not blow the damn thing up without some input from you guys.

Thanks all,

Hope this is the right forum (don't want to break any rules)

Bootloader still locked after using HTCDev

Hello everyone,

I tried unlocking my bootloader with HTCdev. It seemed to be a success, I had the screen which asked me if I really want to unlock, I said yes and my data has been wiped, so I thought that it was good and tried turning S-OFF. However, it seems that my bootloader is still locked because of these three reasons:
- Rumrunner wasn't able to do S-OFF.
- I can't flash a custom recovery (it says "signature verify failed").
- When I am on the Hboot screen (version 2.22), it is still written ***LOCKED***...

I also tried to lock and re-unlock with a new key but it had the same result, and most of the time the unlocking screen doesn't even show up when I type fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

Did you have similar issues, or do you have any ideas how to arrange this?
Thank you

How to search using phone number in contact app

Hi,

I can search in contacts app using the name of the contact. It works.
When I search for a number, search returns empty.

Say, if I have a contact ABCDE with number 333 444 6677
When I search for CDE, app will display contact ABCDE. When I search for 444, it doesn't list the contact.

I am coming from Samsung S5 and I could search contact using name or number.

Thanks for your help.
