Samsung S8 Softbricked help!

I got my phone second hand and someone had previously done something with it. Knox was tripped and device status was custom. So I tried using odin to flash new firmware to change status to official. Now I am stuck in download mode with the following error "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." This does nothing. For some reason the CSC is German and the phone was manufactured in Korea.

SceneForm Google's lib for 3D Rendering is not working as expected

// To load as an asset from the 'assets' folder ('src/main/assets/andy.sfb'):

Help Android 8 - Duplicate app shortcuts

My first Android handset was a Samsung S4 running 4.4 or so. It was possible to create multiple desktop shortcuts to the same app, so I was able to sprinkle shortcuts to apps I used frequently on every screen and not have to go hunting for them.

I now have a Huawei 3i with Android 8.1 and this ability seems to have been removed, regressing the operating system towards the locked down insanity that iPhone users have to put up with (or maybe they like it - I dunno).

Am I missing something here? Can you still do this?

Widget that held Apps on homescreen

Does anyone know what the name of the widget was that you could put apps in and they would change based on your location or network. The widget was on your home screen of course.

I used it before they took it away. I could have work apps, home apps, church apps, and so on based on the wifi network I was hooked up to.

Its been gone for years now, but think it was either on the S4 or S6 before an update came and took it away.

Help XM S10 MMS wo data

Hello all! First time poster. Really no idea where to put this but I have a 2 part question. Some background: I have Xfinity mobile with Galaxy S10 factory unlocked from Samsung directly. Neither Samsung nor XM could help me and because XM doesn't offer byod for android yet, they really don't care. I digress, I cannot send/receive group texts or MMS unless my data is turned on. This happened to me when I first got XM on their S8 and they were able to fix it quite quickly. But that was over 2 years ago and I have no memory of what the fix was. 2nd part: while still using the S8, I recently paid for in air wifi on United airlines and even with airplane mode off/wifi on, I WAS ABLE to send/receive both MMS AND SMS. I was just wondering how that's possible! TIA!!!

Trying to add setDomStorageEnabled(true) for the webview but not sure where to put the code...

Please go easy on me, I'm very new at this :oops:

So I'm using Capacitor to create an Android wrapper of a pre-existing Javascript app (which apparently displays the app in a webview). The thing runs on the simulator, all is well. However, I've discovered a few error messages that all went away when I added webview.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true) which is a fix I found in some forum.

The problem is that I realized I was adding the code to a file inside the npm capacitor module. So even though it works, I need to somehow move that code inside the /android folder somewhere I'm sure. But when I search through it, even for the keyword "webview," I can't find where to access it to change that setting. Has anybody worked with Capacitor or have any idea? I'm clueless how this all comes together.

Thanks!

S6 Frozen Screen; Retrieve Pictures?

Out of nowhere my S6 stopped working. Check out the picture I attached to this post. Each time I restart my phone it gets stuck on that screen. I need to figure out a way to retrieve my pictures/videos. I didn't back them up. I checked my Samsung, Google, and One Drive accounts. Below is a list of things I can still do on my phone and things I've attempted. Let me know if you have any ideas.

1. I can soft restart my phone

2. I can restart it into download mode

3. I can restart it into bootloader mode

4. I wiped cache partition

5. I can connect it to my laptop via USB but it only shows as a bluetooth device. It does not show any options to open up files. The phone was not debugged prior to the phone breaking.

6. I've tried trial versions of Fone Lab and 2-3 other similar programs. Each time with no luck.

Would love to hear your thoughts or ideas. I really don't want to lose these pictures/videos. Thanks!

Galaxy tab 2 7.0 cannot establish secure connection

I recently aquired Galaxy tab 2 7.0 GT-3113ZW from another party I did a factory reset on it and when I set up my own account it uninstalled kingroot, which I did not even know was on the device at the time, with a prompt 'uninstall harmful app'. After this, it will no longer allow me to load any websites or connect to play store or Galaxy apps. I can connect to WiFi and also to my hotspot on my phone, but when I try to load anything or sign into certain networks, it gives me the message 'cannot establish secure connection'. Please help, I have tried to reinstall kingroot APK and use it to properly unroot, which seems to have worked successfully, but am still having the problem with internet connection. I am not sure if the root/unroot is even related to the problem, but I know the issue wasn't happening before kingroot was initially uninstalled.

Help contrast issue

My note 8 updated last night - and now the calendar appearance and (some of-) my text color-contrast is Not right (-see pix) After reading some other Pie-posts, I am thinking this is because of Theme usage - and I should no longer use themes ??? Or is something else, maybe, causing these issues?

[ROM]-v6.0.1 GamerROM™ Classic v1.0 Nexus 6 (shamu) Updated: 05/28/2019 (Not Receiving Updates)

Welcome to: GamerROM Classic

Well it's time to remaster a OLD OS and port it to the Nexus 6, if you aren't aware of what GamerROM Classic is...I will explain!

Introduction:
GamerROM Classic brings back the old memories where gaming started leading up GsmerROM Classic 2 this version is the 1st of it's kind to bring gaming forward with unique features you never saw in newer GamerROM OS's, with light ram usage you will enjoy the fast and light speeds of day to day gaming!

Features:

• Amazing File Management Powered by Google Files.

• Fast & Secured OS.

• Optimized for the Nexus 6 (shamu) hardware.

• OTA Updates (get updates from me Over-The-Air) and more.

IMPORTANT: Due to the Nexus 6 limitations, if you already decrypted your Nexus 6 (shamu) device, be aware that upon installing this OS, your decrypted Nexus 6 (shamu) will be re-encrypted regardless on the method you have used to decrypt your device. What does this mean?....Well this means if you attempt to install a newer OS beyond CM15.1 you will lose access to use Android Pie until you decrypt your Nexus 6 (shamu) again.

We highly RECOMMEND to backup any data if your planning to switch from this version of GamerROM to a different rom beyond CM15.1. We do not take any responsibility for any inconvience this OS has caused you, you are 100% responsible if your decryption is resetted or your Nexus 6 (shamu) becomes damaged or bricked!

Smartview Sound Quality

I use smart view frequently to cast YOUTUBE TV to my television. My TV is an older not smart Samsung with which I use a Roku Express. I never had any trouble dong this with my S8, picture and sound quality were crisp and clear. Last month I upgraded to the S10 and the sound when casting is horrible, it is choppy and muffled. Does anyone else have this problem or know of a fix?

Problem

Problem: phone will not send or receive a call. If trying to make a call it will only dial and then time out. If someone calls it goes straight into voicemail. All other functions work,text ing, facebook, Google search,messaging, etc. Have been thru shutting down, restarts, removing battery, etc. Any thoughts.

Help Access/recover internal memory from dead Galaxy S5?

Hi, my Galaxy S5 is dead. Kaput. I've taken out the SD card and have that. But before I put the phone in a recycling bin, I'd like to access the internal memory to see what is there that I might want to recover and/or delete. I've seen some software offers that say they can connect my Windows machine to the phone to do this, but without outside reviews I'm nervous. Thanks in advance for your advice!

Help No tasks visible in Android 9 Samsung Calendar

Samsung Calendar changed tasks to "Reminders" in the Samsung Calendar that was upgraded with Android Pie. In previous versions you could see BOTH appointments and tasks on either day, week or month settings.

Now the "Reminders" are in a separate location and there is no option to see them daily with you appointments. Also if you want to edit an existing reminder, you now have to toggle between calendar screen and reminder screen to get different day. In previous version editing the date brought up the calendar screen automatically.

MAJOR flaw in the calendar and severely compromises its utility. Anybody have a workaround to this??
