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?

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...

Answering my own post for others that might be looking. I blocked a few google domains including play.google.com, www3.l.google.com and some ip addresses that resolve to play.google.com however nothing seemed to stop app downloads and updates. I found something about the play store utilizing...

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...

Hello, this should be an easy question but I can't seem to find the answer after a few web searches. I'm trying to prevent people's phones from connecting to my wifi hotspot and proceeding to download 100mb of updates, at the same time allowing them to connect for general browsing. I'm...

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...

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.

Hello, I'm very new to smart phones but trying to make the leap into this new 2008 technology. Hoping someone here can help me get my phone to do what I need. I have to get the phone doing certain things for work purposes. The phone is an Atrix running 2.3.6 Gingerbread. Is there any way to...

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...
