Root failed, can't use some apps.

A Little White Ago, I tried to root my Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925F) using ODIN.

However, the root failed and I just kept using the phone as normal. I just realized that neither Netflix, Samsung Pay, or Samsung Health work with a rooted device. (Even though the root failed, I cannot use them)

Will a factory reset solve this, or is there something else I have to do to fix this?

Build number (idk if that's important):
NRD90M.G925FXXU6ERF5

Android version: 7.0

Thanks for any answers!


EDIT: When I rooted my phone using ODIN, the green PASS sign was there and I do not know what went wrong during the process.
I did not get root access, though.

When your battery capacity is not enough, would you like to change the phone or change the battery?

The current mobile phone batteries are basically non-detachable integrated design , we can not freely disassemble, when the battery has problems, can only take the phone to the store to find a professional repair or replacement, not convenient, and takes time and money.
So when your battery capacity is not enough, would you like to change the phone or change the battery?

The best smart wallet for smart home

We are living in the 21st century. Future is on the hand of techs. Approximately 1 year ago Volterman group introduced a smart wallet that has a lot of features (GPS, wifi router, etc.). The main feature is a power bank. But if we calculate the capacity we can understand that if all features are working we will have very low space of battery.

Yesterday on IndieGoGo I see prelaunch of wallet campaign. The name of that campaign is Baraddy. Baraddy doesn't have lots of features like Volterman but it has a feature that we can use every day and it is more functional than Volterman. Here is the link that you can see that pre-launch campaign

Help How to post anonymous app reviews?

Back in the day, Play Store app reviews showed the reviewer's name as "A Google user." Then, after...some event in Android/Google history, reviews were shown with the author's [presumably] real name.

Fast forward to today: there are many brand new, current reviews whose authors are shown as "A Google user." Others are shown with names like "I Just Made This Up"--in other words, clearly fake.

How can you post a review and have it show "A Google user" instead of your real name?

Of course, some obvious answers are make a fake account, or don't make an account, or...some other thing that doesn't make sense. For example, if you create a fake account, not only would it show your fake 'real' name, as opposed to "A Google user," but you couldn't review any of the apps you installed under your real account.

I *WANT* to post anonymously, i.e., as "A Google user," or with a nom de plume like on Amazon's reviews. But after searching every setting I can find, I'm coming up blank. How is it done? :thinking:

Flashed potter on sanders..

Hi.
The thing is ... I think i'm on a big trouble, I was trying to flash a stock ROM trough fastboot(because I had and HAVE no ROM) and well .. I'm running a MOTO G5s Plus (XT1800 - SANDERS), for some reason I don't know I mismatched potter with sanders, and flashed a potter rom (g5 plus) on my sanders phone, fastboot allowed that and well, system started and booted fine, but ofc camera,wifi and some other functions won't work ... I tried everything to go back to a sanders ROM, I have access to unlocked fastboot, TWRP, but no results as fastboot tell me that i'm running a POTTER ROM, but still tells me that my phone is a SANDERS ROM and ofc I can't flash any sanders rom.. any idea out there? I know this is crazy..

As you can watch, XT1800 SANDERS is RUNNING a POTTER ROM ... I cant flash a sanders rom trough fastboot cause it will tell me ofc security downgrade and validation failed .. also running now on can't load kernel..
Ty.

UPDATE: As now, I can't find a newer Sanders firmware than the potter's one... so im stuck again. (SANDERS - 28.65, POTTER - 28.85)

Moto Z2 Play - how to disable Sim Card

I am traveling to Europe soon, and since the Z2 has dual sim capability will be buying a temporary sim card from Orange in France. Question: After I board the plane, I want to disable my North American Sim card to ensure I don't accidentally use it over there. Other than removing the sim card, is there any way to just disable it ( and ensure that I have the other sim working)? Thanks!

upgrade tablet's android

I bought a tablet in 2013 and the things just keeps on ticking. One problem i noticed is however the tablets default android is way too outdated that games do not even run at all or properly on it (especially newer games) as the devs do not support the older android versions. Buying a new one seems ridiculous as the tablet works fine.

I would like to flash or update my android version to something newer. How can i do this?

ASUS Model: ME302C

Android 4.3

Kernel: 3.4.43

I would like to at least get up to android 7.1.1 or higher.

I dont remember when or how, but i must of rooted this tablet a long time ago as if i run root checker, it says i have root. I use to that stuff many years ago, but havent done it in a long time. Based on this, i surely root it. But i am not sure if that matters if the only way is to flash it with a new android system?

Apps How to create a TextView of set size with scroll bars when needed?

Hello, I want to create a TextView of a set size inside a horizontal linear layout, that is scrollable when the content gets too long for the TextView to properly display. Here's the XML structure I am currently using:
Code:
    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/item_bottom
 
        android:layout_width="match_parent"


        android:layout_height="match_parent"


        android:orientation="horizontal"


        android:weightSum="8">





        <HorizontalScrollView


            android:layout_width="0dp"


            android:layout_height="match_parent"


            android:layout_weight="5"





            android:clipToPadding="true"


            android:fadeScrollbars="true"


            android:scrollbarStyle="insideOverlay"


            android:scrollbars="horizontal">





            <TextView


                android:id="@+id/item_balance"


                android:layout_width="wrap_content"


                android:layout_height="match_parent"


                android:fontFamily="sans-serif-black"


                android:singleLine="true"


                android:text="26677889.44 €"


                android:textColor="@android:color/black"


                android:textSize="36sp"


                android:textStyle="bold" />


        </HorizontalScrollView>





        <HorizontalScrollView


            android:layout_width="0dp"


            android:layout_height="match_parent"


            android:layout_weight="3"





            android:clipToPadding="true"


            android:fadeScrollbars="true"


            android:scrollbarStyle="insideOverlay"


            android:scrollbars="horizontal">





            <TextView


                android:id="@+id/item_payment"


                android:layout_width="wrap_content"


                android:layout_height="match_parent"


                android:background="@color/lightred"


                android:gravity="bottom|end"


                android:singleLine="true"


                android:text="22222"


                android:textColor="@android:color/black"


                android:textSize="24sp" />


        </HorizontalScrollView>





    </LinearLayout>
This however leads to the TextView elements inside the HorizontalScrollView elements to have their width be set to wrap_content. Manually changing this to match_parent or adding android:fillViewport="true" to the HorizontalScrollView elements did, unlike with normal ScrollView elements, not help.

This is what it looks like in the design view:

The HorizontalScrollView elements already have the correct size, the only issue is that the TextView elements inside of them do not allow their width to be set to match_parent. Is there something I missed?

Problem with settings display

After the last update, when I view my settings they screen is very dark and hard to see. Hopefully someone will know how to fix this as I can't figure out how. I have attached a picture of my settings screen. Also my status bar at the top is gone. I can drag it down and look at it but then is disappears. It used to be static. How do I get it back on the top?

In-app purchases - pricing approach

Individually and cheap or more expensive bundles?

  • Individually and cheap

    Votes: 0 0.0%
  • Costly bundles

    Votes: 0 0.0%

I was wondering what people’s thoughts are on the most effective pricing model for in-app purchases. Do you think you would make more money from pricing items individually and cheaply or bundling all items together for a larger price?

I’m thinking of in-app purchases for cosmetic things such as different color schemes, avatars etc where you could offer $0.50 per color scheme, or unlock all 10 for $2.00 for example.

I think for gaming apps, the little and often approach to unlocking new levels, vehicles etc would certainly win, but I’m less sure with a less ‘addictive’ app.

Annoying connectivity issues

Hi,

I have a Fossil Q Explorist Gen 3 and I have two problems that I think are related. From time to time, I'll notice that my watch doesn't appear to be displaying up to date info, like if I have my phone battery being shown on the watch face, it'll be the % as it was several hours ago. Or maybe it'll occur to me that I haven't felt notifications on my wrist for a while. In any case, I do the following to 'fix' it:

1) On my watch, I go into settings and look at connectivity/wifi. I can see that 'automatic' is selected but the actual SSID displayed underneath might be, say, my home wifi whereas I am now at work. If I just wait a few seconds, it'll update to my work wi-fi...but if it is 'auomatic', surely it should already state my work wifi?
2) On my phone (Honor 9 Lite, Android 9), at this point,if I go into Wear OS. Advanced Settings, it'll often 'hang' if I try to look up my watch battery from there (I use this as a test to see if I can truly connect to my watch). If that's the case, disconnecting and reconnecting to the watch within Wear OS does nothing to help. However, if I turn bluetooth off and on again, connectivity with the watch is restored.

I *think* that I need to do both points 1 and 2 in order to get my watch functioning properly although perhaps point 2 alone would do it.

My question is; are there others out there who have had similar problems and did you do anything that was able to fix it once and for all?

Final point, and I'm not sure if this is the case 100% of the time, but I'm wondering if the problems start after I have used my bluetooth earphones. The phone doesn't throw up any obvious error; my earphones connect fine, I'll listen to music (and the bluetooth indicator states the make of the earphones while I'm connected) and then when I turn my earphones off, all appears to work normally afterwards. I'm just wondering now, as I write this, if my watch issues occur after this...

Thanks for any advice.

Help jp5 tablet heat issue

Sorry for going off topic, but looking to get a real answer to this issue my brother is having.

My brother is in FDOC, he has a JPS5 it is having heat issue, shutting down in 10 minutes . He says the device showed he used 20% of power by just righting an email to me. With that said he says when he can plug it in, the system can show being in red(30%> before plugging in but sometimes show has being (50%<) has soon has plugged in.

It is hard for me to help him without knowing what apps or settings he can use for optimization of the system like cleaning ram and closing down apps running.

He just learned how to delete music he said, not sure if that says he doesn't know much on device or if it's more the way it has to be done with it connected to kiosk.

We are looking into possibly just getting a second player for him, how would any apps, books, music or what have you be handled (be lost?) Or is it kind of like the play store where he could get them back?

Looking for upper lvl support ( Manager to call) today, they happen to be in a meeting at the time, if no call I will call again and see if they are in a meeting again.
