    [Guide] Recovering Deleted Files

    My Galaxy S6 just randomly factory reset and wiped everything. It's running Android 7. Is this thread still valid? Didn't file based encryption start causing data recovery problems sometime around that release?

    My S6 was factory reset and I want to recover the photos but nothing was backed up

    Hello, I found this thread and not the answer I wanted to hear. My phone just up and decided to factory reset on it's own one night and the next morning all my data was gone. I never imagined they would do this, very furious about it. I do have experience rooting phones and I'm not afraid to do...

    app updates domain

    The router is a cradlepoint 4G, mounted in a shuttle van. So not an android device at all. In the router admin pages I can tell it to block connections to say play.google.com but I don't know if the Facebook app updates from there or from facebook.com, for instance. I would prefer to not...

    recurrent notification

    Ok, so I downloaded the Notifications Plus app and reduced the notification repeat to 15 seconds (wish I could go a little shorter) then uploaded a volume boosted ring tone to the notifications folder on the phone and I'm now getting pretty close to what I was looking for. The only drawback is...

    recurrent notification

    I just noticed that the free version of volume+ is limited on the volume boosting, which was probably why it got quieter. I got the pay version just now and it made the phone ring a little bit louder than factory maximums. Might be enough if I can get a particularly piercing ringtone loaded.

    New Atrix owner coming from vintage technology

    Hi, Just got this new fangled Atrix smart phone coming from an i290 on nextel. It's a work phone and I have a couple of special features that the i290 handles and I need to figure out how to get the Atrix to do the same things. It's not obvious to me what to do but there's got to be a way...
