My private mode isn't working! I've had my phone (s6) for 6 weeks tops, it doesn't give me a chance to do my finger print says it is unable to verify as soon as I try to turn on private mode, then I try my pin and says incorrect password entered 5 times, when I have entered the correct password one time! Is there any way to fix this?
I have only had my samsung for a week. I am an iphone convert. In getting to know my phone I set up a pw for the private mode. I moved a few photos into the private folder and when the phone shut off private mode did as well. Now I cannot remember my password and there is no fingerprint backup.
Samsung supports response Keep trying paswords. I realize I should have written it down, but I was slightly overwhelmed moving to android. There has to be a way to retrieve.
So, I had about 9 gig worth of files (pics/video) in the Private Folder using the Privacy mode on my S5. I wanted that space back, so I moved the files out of privacy mode to another location, then deleted them.
However, the stupid phone is still reserving that 9 gig worth of space in that folder. It shows as "other" in the "my file" and es browser app and when I plug the thing into a computer, windows shows that the private "disk" has 9 gig of used space, even though it is empty.
I got this phone as a gift, an SM-G920F. And it already has SuperSU in it when I got it. Which means it's already rooted if I'm not mistaken. I'm liking the phone and hoping to know more about it.
Anyway I discovered that you can only change the media volume with the rockers when a video or music is playing. And it defaults to ringtone otherwise. Same thing happens when the media pauses in the middle of playback. But I never change my ringtone volume. It's either on, off, or vibrate.
So I browsed the web for fixes. And found this app called Rocker Locker. I tried it but it was a huge battery drain, so it wasn't a permanent fix. I also found out that this behavior was changed in Marshmallow. Having the rockers change media volume by default.
Tried to check for OTA updates. But it said something about phone being modified. Which was lucky, because I've also read not to take OTA updates while rooted.
Long story short. How do I update from Lollipop to Marshmallow in a rooted phone?
I know how to set a Picture to PRIVATE. I read that we should be able to also Hide (Private) APP Icons as well ... I tried long-pressing on an APP Icon but the only option is to REMOVE it.
I am currently on 5.1.1 stock with rooted and twrp installed. After flashing 6.0.1 official ROM via Odin will I retain ROOT and TWRP? If not then how can i get rooted and twrp installed?
So I updated to lollipop...tried everything to fix issues, finally gave up and did a factory reset.
I pulled out the sd card first, just in case. Now that everything is back and running...I realized that the private photos (which I had moved to sd card) are missing. I've Googled around, no luck finding them. Even when I plug into a PC I don't see them.
I've an m8 from Verizon unlocked and I need to change my son because I'm using it on t mobile and I've found that I can't change my apn settings in order to have a better internet access I'm uploading a pic of how the setting looks like , and also I've found that there is no option called apn protocol which is the one I am more interested about ....

I want to disable the clock on the status bar, I'm on stock 5.1 , rooted. I don't want to flash a rom just so that I can disable it, is there any other way. Nova launcher does it, but it's just in the launcher, not system wide.
I've got a problem with my new Galaxy S6 (G920F). Rooted - la Chainfire with Odin.
After this process the phone seem to work fine. But the x axis is inverted.
Means: If I want to go into appdrawer which is on the right buttom side I need to click at the left buttom.
I tried to change the DPI to 480 what worked fine (after the above mentioned problem). Now camera as well as my keyboard is way to small for the screen. I've already seen the problem with the camera and a black border but it didn't seem to have been fixed yet..
C7-00 how to access the PRIVATE folder in phone memory?Meaning the folder C:private With X-plore you can see the folder but it is marked as 0 kb.Edit: reason for this is that I had Angry Birds installed on memory C:Then I had changed my phones default game install memory to E: at the OVI store setup in the phone. On Monday OVI suggested that I should update the AB and so I did.Now it installed the new version to memory E: and all my game progress was gone.Just need to see if the save game still lays on C:private20030e51.
I recently unlocked the bootloader and rooted my Nexus 6P and just this evening received an update for the November Security Update. This downloads fine but when the phone reboots to install, it just goes to TWRP and doesn't install.
This is most likely incredibly simple and stupid for me even to ask, but is it possible to install one I've unlocked/rooted?
So basically I rooted and wanted to get rid of some of the bloat, and I removed fb Instagram, the Google+, mag, news, movies and music apps because I never use them, but now when ever I use voice search, it fcs and I'm not really sure, I used titanium to remove everything, could it be because of the other apps i removed?
If i remove google app and reinstall it would that be a fix? I'm stock rooted btw.
I experience sth. very strange. My "new" phone seems in fact to be a used one, and now. I have strange private contacts, calendar entries, and text messages on the phone. All the data looks a little bit like "fake data", like data to demonstrate features of the phone, not like real private data. Bad thing is, however, that I removed all this nonsense, but after a reset to factory settings, the data appeared again! Nokia advised me to do a firmware update, but I'm not sure
