Why isn't my phone charging

Posted: 22 Nov 2016 01:15 PM PST

OK, so I have an Lg stylo and I got it last year during december. It was going great until well this month. The phone would turn off because of "heat". Now it won't charge I used 2 different chargers and plus cleaning out the USB port and it won't work now I don't know what to do. I should just switch to Iphone because they seem a lot better.

Have a question about the new split screen.

Posted: 22 Nov 2016 01:13 PM PST

To be honest I have not payed much attention to Nougat because I figured it would be a while until we get it. So I have a question. Is there any way to put Chrome on both split screens? I can't figure it out if there is.

ZenFone 2 (ZE551ML) ignore ".nomedia" files

Posted: 22 Nov 2016 01:03 PM PST

If you put a ".nomedia" file in a folder, to make not appear in the Galery, the folder is not visible, just until it get any now image. For exemple, try to put a ".nomedia" file in "Screenshots folder" and them take a new screenshot. The new one will be visible on galery and the all the screenshots you do after that also. So you have to delete the ".nomedia" file and creat a new one. But again, images will be invisble just till the new image come in. Does anyone have a solution to this?

SMS only shows incoming messages

Posted: 22 Nov 2016 12:58 PM PST

After moving from S6 to S7 I can only see incoming and outgoing texts if i use Samsung's messenger. If I use a third party app like Google Messenger or FB Messenger I can only see received messages. The outgoing messages are not there. Weird. Thoughts?

Samsung gear 360 app for samsung J5 ?

Posted: 22 Nov 2016 12:53 PM PST

Hi guys !

I got myself the samsung gear 360 camera, hoping I would find a way to avoid buying a new S7 phone just to use it.

My phone is the Samsung J5 ( SM-J500M) and the software is 6.0.1

Is there anybody who has successfully cracked the app to make it work on my phone ? Does anybody have a link where I could download it from ?

Many thanks in advance

Chris

Just Now Received 5.0 Update

Posted: 22 Nov 2016 12:37 PM PST

I just received an update to 5.0 for my Note 3. Hadn't received any updates in a very long time and was surprised to see this. Read through some comments and it seems the update was back in 2015. Also looks like people had issues with their Note 3 after they updated. Based on the update message, this one can't be rolled back either. I would like some feedback from those of you who updated to 5.0 to know how the update worked on your phones. If I don't want to do the update, will it let me keep bypassing it or will it automatically download at some point? Thanks.

OnePlus 3T ...Soft Gold

Posted: 22 Nov 2016 12:35 PM PST

For those that have ever dealt with OnePlus...I have a son who wants the new phone, but in Gold

It is not available and says "will notify" etc

Do you have any idea if we are talking day(s)...maybe a week. Or could we possibly be looking at several weeks or months.

Thanks for any input

Audio settings change on their own

Posted: 22 Nov 2016 12:35 PM PST

Hi everyone, I've got an issue with my new S7 Edge. The audio settings randomly change on their own. Let's say I mute the sound, a few seconds/or minutes later the setting will have changed for the regular mode, with the ringtone. It doesn't seem to follow any pattern, it doesn't occur after I did something specific.
And that is very problematic. During the night I turn on the plane mode to avoid being woken up by a text message, and at work I have to use the do not disturb mode. The mute mode just won't stick, and I have no idea how to fix it.
The phone is rooted, and I tried to check the applications' permissions to see which ones had access to the audio settings, but I didn't find anything conclusive.

I hope you'll be able to help me figure it out.
Thanks

Xposed Installer help!

Posted: 22 Nov 2016 12:34 PM PST

Hi there friends!
I am quite new to this site, but I am not new in the rooting universe of Android Devices.
I used to have a Galaxy Core LTE (Canadian phone) and a few months ago I broke the LCD screen to the point where all except a tiny portion of the top screen was visible, and the only way I could make calls and texts was using Google Voice by saying "Okay Google, send Mom a text, or saying Okay Google, phone Travis, etc. so after a few weeks of my hard attemps to make texts and calls, I got a Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo SM-G903W and I decided to root the phone. Before I rooted my neo, I let it update to 6.0.1 Marshmallow (It was on 5.1 Lolipop when I got it from my phone carrier) and I was able to install Xposed fine with TWRP Recovery I flashed with Odin. A month passed, decided to factory reset my phone, cleard cache and dalvik (if I spelled that right) with TWRP, and was going to give the phone to my sister before she passed away :'(
But I decided to keep the S5 Neo (it is only 3 months new from the box) and downgrade to Lolipop.
I was successful, but I found out that after a weeks use on Lolipop, my phone was slow and laggy and did much better on Marshmallow. Now for the past couple weeks, I tried installing Xposed again with TWRP (when I first did it with this phone, it worked fine. It was on Marshmallow too) TWRP says ins sucessful. But when my phone reboots, It goes to the "Samsung Galaxy S5 neo powered by android" page and then the next page should say "Samsung" in the middle of a black screen with my notification LED changing from blue to teal and blue and teal you get the point, then my touch buttons by the home button will flash up and screen will dim to the brightness I had set my phone to and boot to the lock screen. But no, I get that s5 neo page and then black screen with the notification LED moving from blue to teal, blue to teal, you get the idea again and it doesnt say "Samsung" in the middle. I left the phone charging for a couple of hours too see if it will boot, but nothing. The only way I am able to access my phone is by installing Xposed uninstaller with twrp and that works.
I got all my files from XDA, and I don't know what to do. I used the xposed-v86-sdk23-arm.zip because that is the only one that doesnt display red texts in TWRP
Sorry if this was lengthy, and put in a wrong place, Like I said I am new to this site, and I tried to put in as much details as possible.
I thank you all in advance for your comments.
Oh yeah, I am also rooted with Chainsfire auto root and flashed it with ODIN and flashing Xposed installer with ODIN does the same problem as it does with TWRP
The XPosed installer and uninstaller apps are on my external Micro SD card

V10 and My Ford Touch

Posted: 22 Nov 2016 12:26 PM PST

Have had the V10 for about a week, and have been trying to get it to work with my 16 Fusion with MFT 2. Some things work fine (eg basic calling and music streaming and contact information sync ). I had a thing with my old phone where MFT would read out text messages when they arrived, and quick send of canned texts from the MFT screen. With the V10, I got a feature not available. Has anyone found a way to get that to work?

Android Auto using Samsung S7 in a 2016 Impala

Posted: 22 Nov 2016 12:26 PM PST

I had Chevy update the Mylink firmware. I used the Samsung cable and still no connection.I contacted Samsung support via chat. They remote accessed my phone and made some changes. After rebooting my phone Android Auto is working as expected in car. The chat was the key to fixing the problem. Not sure what was changed. I also Uninstaller the remote access app when I was done with the chat.
