So I loved this ROM on my phone I still have the phone and it's rooted so I don't know why yours bricked when you flash su and about this fm how you say every phone has it?! If so how would one enable it for it to work on there phone? Or any phone? I'm on a LG v10 now lol

I know i'm a couple years behind the conversation, i had some...business...but i took a look through some of the code for this ROM, and its ****ed from the GATE!!! take a look for yourselves!!! and you'll then know why this rom has bricked phones.

Any chance its a bad battery?
As for not having usb debugging enabled and how to flash official firmware with a pc? I honestly haven't got a clue. The fist time I rooted was with an app. I Immediately noticed, the app had root control and I was secondary to the app. I found it to be unacceptable. Thatbwas the first and only time I ever used an ap yo root a device. I was positive, I need to root with a pc and I had to learn how the hell to do that as I didnt have experience with pc, the programs I didn't even know what drivers where.
I was determined to haveva rooted phone come hell or high water. Adding to my resolve way when Id open an rooted app on my non-rooted phone it would instantly popup a message "root required" and close. I felt like the app was telling me "VIP only, no peasants allowed, peon!". I chuck about it now but back then I took it as an insult. Open it again and kick out again.
Anyway , to make a long story short, I learn how to flash via pc and I have always had to enable usb debugging.
I have no idea how to use a pc to flash with usb disabled. Sorry

Why aren't you apart of the staff anymore

Click to expand...

I got sick, disappeared for ≈2 years as a result, came back, only to find that Guides had been disbanded.

And, no, in case anyone's wondering [and I have been asked about this], I would not rejoin the staff if asked to. I can't commit to responsibilities like that at this point in my recovery. But I feel honored to have once been a part of the AF staff family.

hello, does anyone know what application is this? i got this from notification status bar. thanks.

It kind of looks like a plug to me. Did you have something plugged in at the time? Or something that makes some kind of connection?

Is it possible to remove specific sites from the Articles for You suggestions on Android Chrome?

I tried searching for this before posting, but I could not find anything relevant. I want to keep Articles for You enabled as I do not mind the feature, but I'd like the content to improve, instead of Google sending click-bait nonsense. I thought I found how to do that with Google News and also tried changing the settings within the Chrome enable flags, but it is still suggesting the couple sites that I'm trying to remove. Any help is appreciated!

In case it matters, this is on a Samsung S9.

Welcome to Android Forums, Noobhere!

I had a similar chroot error

Click to expand...

So what did you do about it?

I think my hunch was correct. It involves my live-in helper's new Chromecast.

I haven't had enough opportunity to say for sure, but the problem started and, I think, only occurred when she was using her new Chromecast.

At this point I don't have much to go on, just the perhaps coincidental entrance of a new gadget on my Wi-Fi network. How or why that could/would turn my alarm volume off...I have no clue.

If/when I have more info, I'll update. All I can say for sure right now is that my alarm volume hasn't turned itself down recently--nor has my helper used her Chromecast.

In addition, some phones, such as the Oneplus phones have a physical silence slider on the side of the phone. It is easy to put the phone into silent mode accidently or to forget that you slid it (like at the movies). It will leave the ringer grayed out until you put it back to normal mode.

signed up for the forum just to say thank you.... my dumb ass has been wondering why my volume hasnt worked for weeks on my oneplus 3..... turns out it was that slider....

For anyone else wondering, two answers here:

1. The comcast box we had was old and couldn't deliver 4K content- had to call Comcast Xfinity
2. The frame rate isn't great on the TV which is something to look for on cheap 4K TVs

So...the folder (root17.72mb of 22gig ) should be there? And my storage file should be "emulated" also my main phone storage is called.."sharedstorage"? And i dont even have a sd card but it looks like sd card..theres a file "verify-key" "cgroup_clone_children" ina folder called "etc"

Click to expand...

Yes. You're seeing perfectly normal Linux and Android behavior.

I don't have an SD card in this phone, but look at how my main storage is named (near the top of the pic):



As for directories named root and etc, they'd only be a problem on a Linux system if they didn't exist!



Do not touch, edit, move, or delete any system files/directories, or you're going to end up borking your device. If you're not sure about something, ask.

Are you syncing with Google Photos? Can you try deleting there?

Alternatively you can use a File Explorer to delete the file without having to load the preview. Then load up your gallery and make sure it doesn't appear any more.

Lastly try clearing your phone's cache before and after all of this... and report back!

Click to expand...

Using File Explorer I was able to delete the file (which was a tmp file). Going back to the gallery showed the saved image with the correct file name and everything. That seemed to fix it. Thanks!

Yes. Well they have social media sites at least

I have a Pixel 3 from Verizon. Back a few months ago when Android 10 came out I upgraded. Since that time when I take a photo using the native camera app I see the little thumbnail in the lower right hand corner. When I clicked on the thumbnail before the upgrade it took me to Photos app and showed the picture and all pictures that were taken on the camera.

Now when I click on the thumbnail the photo pops up really quickly but then disappears. It goes to the Photo App but the picture is not there.

If I go to the Main Storage/DCIM/Camera the picture is there.

Now I just realized that none of my camera photos are getting uploaded to the photos.google.com cloud. The last picture I had was from Sept 2019.

Any ideas how to fix this short of a factory reset? I don't want to lose all my pictures since then.

Taken from this link:https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6193313?co=GENIE.Platform=Android&hl=en

Check all of these setting and let us know!

What is back up & sync?

• A backup service: Your photos and videos will save to your Google Photos library.
• Privately stored: Photos and videos backed up from your device are private unless you share them.
• Syncing: Any changes you make will be mirrored on every synced device. For example, if you edit and save a photo on your phone, it will look the same on photos.google.com.

Turn back up & sync on or off

Before you start, make sure you're signed in.

1. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Photos app
   
   .
2. Sign in to your Google Account.
3. At the top, tap Menu
   
   .
4. Select Settings
   
   Back up & sync.
5. Tap "Back up & sync" on or off.
   • If you've run out of storage, scroll down and tap Turn off backup.

Things to keep in mind about this setting:

• Changing backup settings will affect all apps that use Back up & sync, such as Google Drive.
• If you have Back up & sync on, deleting the Google Photos app from your device will not turn it off. To turn off Back up & sync, follow the instructions above.

Change your back up settings

• Choose the Google Account to back up photos and videos: Under "Backup account", tap the account name.
• Change your upload size: Tap Upload size. Learn more about upload sizes
• Back up device folders: Tap Back up device folders and select the folders you want to back up.
• Back up on mobile data: If you don’t want to wait for Wi-Fi to back up your photos, under "Cellular data back up," tap Photos or Videos. Charges from your service provider may apply if you upload using your mobile network.
• Back up while roaming: Under "When to back up," tap Roaming.

Check if your photos are backed up

1. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Photos app
   
   .
2. Sign in to your Google Account.
3. Tap Photos
   
   .
4. At the top, you'll see if your photos are backed up, or if it's still waiting to back up.

Interesting. On the Pixel Notifications are tied to Ring volume, which makes more sense to me since they perform similar functions (audible alerts) while Alarm has a different usage. I wonder why Samsung did it that way?

Though for that matter I've never understood why Google didn't leave well alone and keep Ring/Notification/Alarm as separate settings, as used to be the case.

Yes, I think turning off the Wifi on airplane mode and then reboot the device can work well.

Yeah, there are dozens and dozens of "security" apps, "cleaners" (mostly junk apps), "file locking" apps, VPNs and even ad-blockers which use shield-shaped icons. So most likely something along one of those lines.

does anyone flash and root it this tablet?
Not sure if 2nd or 3rd Gen?
it is 5.0.2 V - Kernel 3.4.0+
LRX22G Build, and V49510e software

any disadvantages or recommandations?

I also have the v495. Just asking if u ever completed the root process or had any troubles. I'm trying to root and am having trouble unlocking bootloader.. any tips or suggestions???

I get this type mismatch error that I don't really understand, I've been stuck on it for quite a long while and I haven't really figured it out. The error looks like this:

Type inference failed. Expected type mismatch:
required: Array<Uri>?
found: Array<Uri?>

What exactly does the question mark mean and what's the difference in their positions?

I get this error at onActivityResult. The activity has a webview. When the user clicks an "Upload Image" button on the website, the app shows a file chooser, and gets the result back, then the image is sent to webview. Here's its code snippet:

Ok.
First you state that you are using a USB port to charge the device.

Then you say that you are using a 3½A charger to charge the device. yes i use the usb port on the device to charge the device and the poser supply is a 3.5 amp charger

There is a big difference, as USB is a slow charge. Very slow. i would think 3.5 amps is plenty of power to charge most any device
So slow, in fact, that my crummy 1GB device will slowly discharge while plugged into a USB port if I leave Wi-Fi on.

If the battery is shot, then that is your issue. battery could be bad but it does actually charge up to full power according to the device's own battery monitor.
Check the power cord, even if that cord works o other devices. i have use 3 cords now i have on i got the says itis able to handle 3.4 amps and one that is for tablets from the mfg. and another one that has been charging other tablets just fine.

If there is no way to monitor the milliamps that your charger is providing (settings, battery), then get an app that will do so.

CPU Float
CPU Info
Ampere i will try all of these to see what one may be better for my tastes

This will allow you to compare the charging rate between different cords.

I bet you will be surprised at what you find.

Make sure that the charging port is clean, on both the charger and device ends. can't speak for the device as i got it from ebay but the power supply is new and the cord is new and rated for 3.5 amps

Last but not least, it may be of some use to go through the system apps and any user apps (you did say that it was used, right?) and disable whatever you don't need.

Dim the screen, turn the automatic dimmer off, and force stop any app that you don't use that you can't disable. all i have installed after a factory reset is tinycam monitor and radar and speed test. and yes i went into the system and turned off everything that did not say android or google for systems or deleted all not necessary

Hopefully all this will save enough power and increase the charge rate to a point where it can maintain function for you.


so it charged all night and got up to 80% and this morning i turned it on to view the cameras at 5am and now at 9am it is down to 40%

so that is why i asked if anyone knows if all the battery wires were needed to run this device. my other tablets will run with no battery but this is a verizon phone that is 10" and like most phones seems to not like turning on without the battery. but i'm betting it can run without actually have the battery connect to the point of charging it. i think the battery is bad but they want 50$ for a new battery and for what i use this for that is not o happen. but it does a good job for showing the cameras so if it is fixable i will give it a go if not i will toss in out. as the seller gave me a refund. thanks
