Does a factory reset make my information completely erased?

Posted: 18 Dec 2016 01:53 PM PST

I am selling a OnePlus 3t. Are there any further steps I need to do other than a factory reset? Is it possible for a buyer to obtain your personal info from the device after a factory reset (for example, I know some places can extract info from a hard drive even if it's been formatted)?

[6.0.1] Converting SD Card from external to internal storage without losing previously stored card data.

Posted: 18 Dec 2016 12:54 PM PST

I've only recently learned that I can use my SD card as internal storage as opposed to external storage, which is a godsend! I'm using an unrooted Galaxy S5 (SM-G900A) and a 32 GB external SD. Right now the SD has about 20 GB of data on it, including a number of files (music, videos, pictures, etc), as well as apps that I've "Stored to SD card" from the app manager settings, under system settings. Now that I want to convert my SD to internal storage, how should I go about this so that I don't lose the data on my (especially for the apps that are either stored to my SD or which store data there, such as Spotify)? I've already backed the card up to my computer, now what? Thanks!!

Having problems with lg v20 receiving text.

Posted: 18 Dec 2016 01:26 PM PST

Copied from a post I found on XDA, describes my problem perfectly.

Hey guys, I'm having this very strange issue with my text messages on my T-Mobile V20 (H918). When I'm texting people, they always receive my texts, and the text sends fine on my end. No problemo.

Now, when someone is texting me and we've been in a conversation for awhile, and suddenly they won't reply. And it's usually followed by "you there?" Or they just assume I'm ignoring them and quit replying altogether. This isn't an isolated issue, either. Happens with nearly everyone I text (but the issue seems to exclude T-Mobile or T-Mobile MVNO numbers). It doesn't matter if the person has an Android device, iOS device,Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, any of their MVNOs, nothing. Issue gets worse at indeterminate times of day. Really sucks when you're trying to text someone about signing a lease on an apartment... Using the stock messenger app that came with Nougat, but the phone hasn't had an OS update yet...but my remorse period runs out in 8 days, idk if I can wait for that.

Troubleshooting that's already been performed:

Clearing app cache

Performing a factory reset via settings

Performing a factory reset via LG recovery upon boot

Calling T-Mobile and having them re-provision my number a couple of times

How is it possible for data to affect GPS stability on a mobile device?

Posted: 18 Dec 2016 12:19 PM PST

How is it possible for your data connection to cause instability in your GPS signal? There's a particular carrier in my country that causes this issue on some (but not all) phones. If data higher than EDGE is active (3G, H/H+ etc.), After 10-30 seconds, all GPS signal is lost for 5-10 seconds, rinse and repeat. This effectively renders any GPS activity either impossible or a hell of a pain. Of course, the carrier is denying any issue since it's not a universal problem, and it's obviously not the fault of the device manufacturers, because there aren't any issues with the other carrier here (there are only two). I've googled the hell out of this and there's nothing (I ended up switching carriers in frustration). From my (very) limited sample size (about 15 phones), it seems to affect only newer devices. I'd just really like to know how this is possible, because AFAIK, it shouldn't be :/ Only asking here because I don't know what else to do/where to ask.

Posted: 18 Dec 2016 12:08 PM PST

So yeah... I was overseas with some family at the beginning of this year, and they got me a SIM for my phone. I had no idea of the concept of unlocking at the time... so yeah. I basically gave my phone to the lady at the store and she used up all of my 10 attempts to unlock my network... great...

How can I unlock my phone? I can't access my Network unlock...

Gboard issue

Posted: 18 Dec 2016 08:12 AM PST

I have quite the issue. I would love to use the gboard but for the longest time there's been a problem with the keyboard on my phones browser. It seems to stop working,no suggestion bar, no auto-correction, nothing, this doesn't happen on SwiftKey for some reason it only happens on the gboard. Is this a known issue? And can anything be done? The gboard seems to work fine using apps like reddit and messaging. Only in browsers it seems to not work. I am on an Samsung S6 Edge by the way.

I've lost data after transfering it to SD *HELP*

Posted: 18 Dec 2016 01:27 PM PST

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (SM-G530FZ). Today I tried to move my old photos to the external SD. After moving the first folder everything was looking fine at first but when I tried to move a second folder I noticed that the first wasn't there anymore. I don't know how could that happen. I rooted my phone and tried different apps for image recovery. I found some pictures but not the ones that I have lost. I think the SD is the problem. Is there anyway to recover the pictures that I've lost? Thanks in advance

starting background processes from pid 1 before original init

Posted: 18 Dec 2016 10:40 AM PST

I am running CyanogenMod 12.1 on an Amazon 5th gen tablet. I've replaced the original init with a new init which tries to start other scripts as background processes before calling the original init. If the scripts are executed as foreground, they work as expected. If they are called as background processes, they simply are not run. I have tried the following :

sh /etc/init3 # works in foreground /etc/init3 # does not work sh /etc/init3 & # does not work /sbin/busybox nohup /etc/init3 & # does not work /sbin/busybox nohup /etc/init3 < /dev/null >> /android/log/jfh1.log 2>&1 & # does not work sh /sbin/busybox nohup /etc/init3 < /dev/null >> /android/log/jfh1.log 2>&1 & # does not work sh /sbin/busybox nohup /etc/init3 < /dev/null >> /android/log/jfh1.log 2>&1 # does not work /sbin/busybox nohup sh /etc/init3 < /dev/null >> /android/log/jfh1.log 2>&1 # does not work sh /etc/init3 < /dev/null >> /android/log/jfh1.log 2>&1 # does not work

Help me decide between sticking with iOS or swapping to Android

Posted: 18 Dec 2016 03:36 PM PST

Hello all, the title should explain the gist of this post. I am due for an upgrade, actually I have been since September this year. Currently I am using my iPhone 6S+ which is doing great, however the interest in Android never faded. I have used the Nexus 6 and was utterly disappointed so I went back to iOS. However, I was wondering if there currently is a phone which could both outperform or at least equally perform to my iPhone 6s and preferably at least compete with the iPhone 7.
 
The requirements I have:

  • At least 5.5" screen. Any smaller than that is just a no-go. I love my phablets and anything smaller than that just makes me cringe.
  • Absolutely no input lag. As I play a lot of Rhythm games I cannot deal with input lag or latency. It was what made me sell my Nexus 6 off as the screen just was not responsive at all.
  • Gaming performance. Camera and such are secondary concerns. Due to personal circumstances, my phone is my primary gaming device, so it needs to be able to run games without issues.

 
Some preferences which might help me sway in a certain phones direction:

  • A larger than 5.5" screen. As stated above, my phone is basically my media centre.
  • Speaker quality. When I am at home I tend to have my speaker sound on, so something like front facing speakers would be ideal.

 
Some things I could not care less about:

  • DAC. I use multiple Bluetooth headphones, so generally the 3.5mm Jack might as well be non-existent.
  • Resolution: Anything above 1080p is fine as I seriously cannot tell the difference between 1440p and 1080p on this small a screen. Hell I still use 1080p at my PC.
  • Samsung. After using the S3, S4 and S5 I am honestly done with Samsung. The amount of complaints I get from friends who use the S7 really makes me reluctant to even consider their phones. Aside from that, all brands are go.

 
Phones I am currently considering (open to suggestions):

Pixel XL: I love the design. It is definitely something new. It runs stock Android as well, which is something I would prefer anyway. Having the SD821 is also a good factor, despite it being a side grade to a SD820 according to reviews. No IP-67+ rating is a bit annoying but I have been doing fine without it. Speaker quality seems to be absolute crap though. Somehow the 32GB version is also more expensive than a 128GB iPhone 7 Plus as well which is making me a bit reluctant.
 
One Plus 3T: It houses a higher clocked version of the SD821 apparently. Overall reviews seem to be really positive and the price/hardware ratio seems very hard to beat. Problem is, I cannot get the phone on contract upgrade, forcing me to buy it off contract. Also does not feature front facing speakers and the Camera seems iffy.
 
Huawei Nexus 6P: An older phone, but it does tick some of the boxes I am looking at. Front facing speakers with a decent processor still. All the models I tried have not had noticeable input lag. Nexus line which means lovely stock Android. Reality is that it is an aging phone, and as I am stuck for at least a year with this phone, I do not know if it is a smart investment at this point in time.
 
iPhone 7 Plus: Ticks most of the boxes. Now features a waterproof rating, front facing speaker with a secondary at the bottom. My i6+ has zero input lag and it is still really fast with loading etc. Also goes well with my iPad thanks to continuity, but no Mac to support it further. Also have become a heavy user of iMessage as most of my friends are on iPhone. App support has been excellent as well. However it is not Android and it lacks things like open file system, customisability and emulation support. Also after the removal of the only viable payment option in my country I have to resort to gift cards instead of PayPal for example which is incredibly tedious.
 
So let me hear it, what phone do you recommend and if you want to, elaborate on why to help me make a decision. Should I go with Android or sit this generation out and stick with iOS?

Is there a way to make the Home-Touch-Button-Bar on the LG G4 on Nova Launcher transparent?

Posted: 18 Dec 2016 11:34 AM PST

So since the Nova Launcher was on sale today, I bought it and already made myself a nice looking theme (for now).

What is bothering me: right now it seems that I can not make the Home-Touch-Button-Bar transparent so I can see my wallpaper there.

The only options I have right now from my phone by default are a black one and a white bar.

So my question again: is there a way where I can make the bar transparent?

Need advise on a tablet.

I had a Nexus 7 forever and it recently bricked for no apparent reason. I've been using an iPad 3, but I hate it. The lag on it is astounding. I want to buy a new one and am trying to decide between a Nvidia Shield or Asus Zenpad. Both are 8 inches and have similar specs. Any help would be appreciated.

HTC One M9 running stock rooted t-mobile ROM (Android 6.0.) Any way to block an app from using 4G entirely?

Posted: 18 Dec 2016 02:52 PM PST

I have an HTC One M9 running Android V6.0 rooted. I have a relatively limited data plan, so I saved a lot of Youtube videos offline so that I can watch them without wifi. Unfortunately, it appears that Youtube will just stream it from the internet anyway, with no regards to what I've downloaded, if I open the app with a 4G connection.

I would like to block Youtube entirely from using mobile data, as the offline videos are all I want to watch when I am away from wifi. I would prefer not to turn off my data as a solution, as I use other apps that need data.

I tried using AFWall, but the rules don't stick for some reason (I blocked all apps as a test, and youtube still worked.)

Is there anything I can try to block Youtube? my phone is rooted, so I can do pretty much anything.

Hello! I am done... DONE... completely with apple. I need a phone which is a phone... meaning one that works. Anyway my plan is to sell my iphone 6s 64gb on gazelle and then use that money and apply it towards a nexus 6p.... anyway I want to buy it directly from google store but i dont think that exists anymore. I read the reviews on newegg or best buy and sometimes it is bad like it was used or something like that. Guys I really wanna buy an android already like today or tomorrow latest I am ready. Would my best bet be to buy the 6p off of bestbuy unlocked

safest bet I guess??

Samsung Galaxy Discover (sgh-s730m) boot loop

Posted: 18 Dec 2016 01:28 PM PST

Hello, my cell has entered a boot loop every two seconds where I cannot enter recovery mode, nor can I even see the Samsung logo appear.

It happened a few months back and I read that it might be a sticky power key and that tapping it might fix it, and so it did after three taps. But the same boot loop has reappeared and tapping does nothing. When I connect it to the computer Windows cannot even see it since by then it has already started the boot loop.

I've tried letting the battery go down to 0%, removing it and the SD and SIM cards with it only being connected by USB, etc. Nothing seems to work. I am all out of ideas.

Has anyone had a problem like this before, and other than buying a new phone, have you figured out how to fix it? Any information would be welcome. thank you in advance.

FYI : Not rooted, default 4.0.4 ics, never happened since I got this phone four years ago. Opened it up and can't seem to see anything messing with the buttons.

Internet keeps losing connection on Xperia Z5

Posted: 18 Dec 2016 01:08 PM PST

I've had this problem since I received my Z5. Basically, if I do anything that uses a lot of bandwidth or data, the Internet will just stop working for a number of minutes. I won't lose WiFi connection though. To regain Internet connection, I have to turn WiFi off and on again. This problem only happens on certain networks.

It is very noticeable in YouTube, especially when watching 1080p60 videos. It will take about 40 seconds till you lose Internet connection and with 480p about 2 minutes. I've tried many things to fix it. VPNs, DNSs, different channels on the router, static IPs, factory resetting and have even had my phone replaced.

What really annoys me is that this problem has existed since the existence of the Z5 series and yet Sony hasn't done anything about it. If you contact their support they will say that you should send it in for repair (useless as it is obviously a software problem). Their are countless forum threads about this problem as well (http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z5-Z5-Compact-Z5-Premium/SOLVED-Xperia-Z5-WiFi-Connection-Dropping-Constantly/m-p/1174213, http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z5-Z5-Compact-Z5-Premium/WIFI-drops-connection-on-z5-premium/td-p/1074464/jump-to/first-unread-message ...)

Are there any solutions? I've found this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3290793 but it requires an unlocked bootloader.
