Nougat and viber resolution problem - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

So, since day one I used UK Nougat firmware on FHD resolution. Yesterday i moved back to WQHD and now my Viber is bugged. Any idea, how to fix it? I would reinstall viber, but as far as I know, I would lose all messages? I also tried to clean cache, restart phone and nothing helps..

Temp. solution for others (i guess). I had to change original background to each conversation. I guess also new conversation would be bugged and need to change background.

Backup your data on google drive, then restore to default in settings!
I think you messages will remain, if not you can restore from earlier backuped data!
After that all is ok!

Permanent solution for all existens and new chats is:
Viber settings>change background. You can also use original background as i have it and it works. It must be something with resolution change that mess up in viber, but all fine now

Yeah, obviously Viber cuts the background image exactly to the size needed and just did not think of the case you can adjust the resolution of your device (which is a new one).

From today, viber didn't fix this bug!

lost sms

hi
once sms is received and then you make soft reset your sms (or sms's) would be lost.
how can it be fixed
mine are not lost after a soft reset.... :roll:
Happens to me too. SMS messages survive a soft reset after about five minutes.
Same goes for MMS and email too.
True... I had the same problem
You have to wait about 5 minutes for the system to write the data into ROM... (this is the way I see it)
I don't think there is a way to hack it.

maybe some changes in registry to change 5min to 5sec?

I don't think so...
but if you find it let me know...
NOW that would be a very helpful RegHack (IMHO).
I've noticed something about WM5 (me on my Charmer) devices are, if you try modifying a certain settings on your programs (e.g. today plugins) and soft reset your device (relatively) instantly (e.g. in 15 seconds time), your settings won't be save (e.g. settings will be lost). I guess thats probably the same problem with the SMS.
SMS
I have the same problem, if i wait it seems to save them put there must be something wrong with the device. As i have tried all the I-Mate ROMs out and none of them seem to make any diffrance.
Lines
Anoyher wierd effect with the messageing is the display.
Most of you will notice the blue hoz lines on in the background of messaging. Sometimes they are there other times they are not. Im not sure if it is related but it is my sms and emails that ain't working, and that is the same application.

Photos without colour

Hi Forum!
I received my HD2 today. Everything fine sofar, I installed BSB Tweaks and some apps.
Now my camera only makes b/w pictures and videos.
The App show color while starting, but after 1 sec. the preview (and the pictures) get grayscale.
Does ne1 have a clue?
JoC
Open teh camera, click the menu/settings icon (a cog wheel), click advanced, go to page 3, effect, and see if it is set to grayscale.
Thank you for the fast reply.
I first checked that.
I even switched to grayscale, sepia and back, but no change.

Hmm, in that case I would probably start uninstalling the apps you added one by one, see if anything changes.

....or start all over again (as you've only just got the phone it shouldn't take long to re-install the apps you want) by doing a hard reset then add one app and test the camera still takes colour pictures before installing the next app and so on until you find which one upsets the camera (you might want to check other things you need and not just the camera in case something else is affected too..) finally,if you do find which program causes the problem,obviously don't use it , but make sure you let the program developer know of the bug so he/she can try to fix it (you never know,they may already be aware of the bug and have a fixed version ready for you to try out)
Hello,
I installed a complete new image (Artemis_v29b_GER_202_23518) and did hard resets.
Camera ist still taking grayscale photographs. When I start the application, there ist color for the first 1 or 2 seconds.
Solved
Hello,
After installing the other image, I restored a backup from Sprite Backup.
When I did not restore the backup after a hard reset, the color is there.
Tank you.

Sprint HTC snap firmware update.

Today my Sprint Snap 511 popped up a dialog that asked me if i wanted to accept or reject a new firmware update. I'm happy with how the phone has been performing, so i rejected the update pending some research.
anyone have an idea what this was? is it winmo 6.5? some sort of minor update? how do i even get back to that dialog if i want to accept the firmware update?
I have the same question. Noone knows anything?

Firmware Update for Sprint Snap--->DO NOT DO IT!
I installed it, and while the phone seemed to work well at first, it does one thing that will render your phone almost useless.
You can no longer change your default ringer, even to one of the pre-installed ringers.
In fact, I cannot even set the phone to vibrate.
HTC will tell you to do a hard reset but it will not fix the firmware problem.
So DO NOT INSTALL THE FIRMWARE UPDATE!
It is not a WM6.5 update.
I saw someone post in another forum that after they did the firmware update they could not change their ringer and they also could not receive text messages. They could send text messages though. I'm definitely going to wait.
Does anybody have any of the old firmware that they can upload? this new firmware is just ridiculous.
I agree with Dr. Gizmo. DO NOT download this new firmware.
I have been noticing something odd with my yahoo! email service on my Snap. I used to be able to attach multiple pictures into one email message. Now, I can no longer attach pictures in my email message. If I want to send an image via email, I have to locate the file in my album, then click 'send in email.' This is extremely frustrating, as I can only send one message with one attached file at a time.
I thought by doing a reset of the factory settings this would remedy the solution. I was wrong! After backing up my files and defaulting all of the settings, now my ringer is stuck at the default option. I can change it from silent, to work, to normal. However, I can make no changes to the actual ringer, ie "standard2, melody, drums, etc, etc."
I was half asleep when I pressed "accept" when prompted the firmware update. I wish I had pressed "Decline."
DO NOT accept the firmware updates.
Does anyone know a work around? Is there anyway we can reverse the firmware updates?
I have the same problem as all of you and I feel like an idiot for accepting the update when it popped up on my phone on March 24. I cannot change my wallpaper to a picture of my own or change the main ring tones. I called HTC support and they told me they sent NO firmeware updates out and that I should hard reset the phone. Do not hard reset the phone as this DOES NOT correct the problem...which really scares me because if a hard reset does not work then what the heck will.
Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the update or undo it?
Also, if HTC did not send out the update, it might have been an update that windows sent out and they are to blame. This needs to be addressed and fixed soon. By the way Sprint, please don't tell people to hard reset the phone...That DOES NOT fix this error.
Please help anyone

PirateTD,
You should be able to change your homescreen background image (wallpaper) from the menu at the bottom of the htc homescreen.
The ringer won't change from anywhere
SnapJoeSnap
Nope..changing wallpaper overall is not working.. try to change the wallpaper to one of your personal pics and it will say "Unable to set picture as Home screen wallpaper."
it will say this no matter what picture you try to change it to and this DID NOT start until the windows update.
If you go under settings and click on homescreen and then change it under where it says background image, it will change it but it will not change it to what you select. I have selected multiple different images under here and it either stays the same or changes it to something TOTALLY different from what you selected and i have no idea but it wont let you pick a wallpaper now.
Please try this everyone and let me know what it does to ypu
Anyone have any idea how to get the old ROM prior to the update and how to install in on the phone..
Any help would be appreciated

Funny thing, this win mobile is... I went through start>settings>home screen and I CAN change the picture setting to whatever I like (it does not give me the error) BUT the image displayed won't change. If I go back to settings>home I can see that the change stuck, but the picture won't change even thou it looks like the wallpaper is 'refreshing'. I was sure I could and did as I rechecked before posting and I would get the "error..." message from settings>homescreen but not from HTC Home sliding panel AND I saw the diff pic in the wallpaper.
EDIT: Wait just a minute... I can't insert files into emails!!! What the...???

Yes it would be. Can anyone help us guys out?
Sorry I can not help you with uninstalling the firmware update, but I can tell you this the update if from neither HTC nor Microsoft it is a Sprint Firmware update. The word is the update that has caused problems for our phone was released in part to put an end to the practice of using the phones data services on our laptops. As much as I do not agree as to how Sprint has handeled this I understand their reasons with some people taking advantage of this ability to hog bandwith with torrent downloads, watching movies... So if you are one of these people thank you very much and as a Sprint user I do not want to see Sprints service affected like ATT's with not being able to make calls because everyone is using their IPhones. Get your self an aircard!
Ok I have found a few work arounds to the main ringer and the home screen picture issue.
The first work around the Home Screen Picture - thanks to the update above and a locked registery the settings panel no longer works... But if you use the Picture and Video app (included with the phone) to set your home screen back ground picture. Just open the image you want to use with the app and with the use of the "menu" you can set your home screen image there.
The main ringer is a little different but along the same lines. Making this change requires something along the lines of a ringtome manager that allows you to change the main ringer in it, and the phone does not come with one. However I did a trial version of Photo Contact Pro that had this ability. Now I did not care for Photo Contact Pro after trying it out but still it allowed me to change the main ringer while I had it on my phone. Now I can no longer change my main ringer because I uninstalled the App but then because it was a trial version it did not cost me anything. So if you really need to change your ringer once here is an option, however if you are one of those who wants to change their ringer on a regular basis, you will then have to find an app that will allow you to did this or wait until a fix is released.
As far as an email issue someone wrote about here you will need to double check your email account settings. I had problems sending emails from my phone and found the auto settings were not correct for the smtp (out going mail) server and I had to set them manualy...
Sprint finally released an update to the Snap s511, you can find it on the website. It fixes all the problems that the bad update caused

Camera Failed [Solved]

I am not sure whether this thread is off topic or not. But this problem is really boring and I wish somebody can look into it and find a permanent solution.
My tab is international version, no matter I flash the DXKM2 stock firmware or Roto's JME-V4 with CF-Root, I always encounter the camera failed error. But it do works before I install any 3rd software.
So far I doubt it's due to some system application removal, because I have another Galaxy S with exactly same 3rd party software installed without this problem. I only deleted some unnecessary built-in apps in system folder. Here is the list I deleted apps:
IMEs (I use TouchPal for Chinese input)
Samsung widgets (I like very clear homepage)
Ebooks (I use ibook)
Live wallpapers (to reduce power consumption)
Email (I use K-9 mail)
Samsung Unified Inbox
SNS (Chinese can't use facebook)
It's very weired that I didn't install anything since last time to take picture. Seems like the pad idles certain time then the camera has problem itself.
Anybody encountered same problem like me and even found the root causes? Please help.
Update:
OK, I found the root cause by deleting files one by one. Found that the Email.apk and Email.odex can't be deleted. Once I copy back those two files from backup, and restart, the camera functions well now.

how was this fixed?
im not sure but I cant tell how was it solved
In all the cases above, the camera start failing at some point after an install of 3rd party software.
and I believe in their case, the camera works on stock rom.
Is yours really broken on gb stock safe (in your other posts you mention so). Pure state after Odin.

Straaange things happened this morning

Seeing as though there's no more BajaROM thread, I'll post this is in the general Q&A section. Of course, while I am running BajaROM, I can't be sure that the ROM had anything to do with it.
Something weird definitely happened to my phone last night... at exactly 2:28am, it would seem.
When I woke up this morning, my live background changed to a different static background, my normal keyboard (thumb keyboard) was replaced by the samsung one, my clock widget was frozen at 2:28, the battery level read 87% (after charging all night), and hasn't changed all morning, even after an hour commute of phone calls and media play... tasker had inexplicably turned off... and I'm still finding odd things.
I restarted my phone, and my clock is more current now, but my clock widget and the statusbar clock are a minute apart for a portion of every minute (like they're offset by <60sec) Tasker still didn't turn on like it should have, until I started the app to spark it... as if it was the first time I installed it. (It does the same thing when I restore the app through Titanium Backup on a new ROM install)
I checked to make sure I still have root by starting Titanium Backup... I have root, but titanium backup says it's the free version now... when I normally have the Donate (Pro) version. I had to reinstall it from the Google Play store
I have a few nightly backup/refresh items scheduled in Titanium Backup at 2am and 2:30am... so I wonder if something went wrong.
If anyone has experienced similar issues, leave a comment.
Thanks!

This won't help you understand what's going on but for what it's worth I'm running Baja 16.1 and it's just fine. I don't use any exposed or wanam modules. Think that might be the culprit? That is if you run any..

I do run some (several) xposed mods and wanam/gravity box mods, and have been for quite some time on several devices. A string of bizarre events like that hasn't happened though.
It is strange, though, that I did install XToast just last night. This is an xposed mod that gives you more control over the toast messages received under different circumstances. Could be the culprit... not sure. I think I'll disable it and go back to BurntToast, a mod that does similar stuff.
Maybe switching from one to the other borked something?
Thanks for the input.
I also experienced some weird behaviour. I do suspect Titanium tp cause the problems, but I'm not yet 100% sure...
Not all of my issues are completely the same as yours, but still similar.
First of all, my device is a Galaxy S3 mini, CM11 installed, rooted, XPosed installed with several modules (but no Gravity or Wanam). All partitions are in ext4, external SDcard is in exFAT.
(1) root: During startup, Titanium asks an awful lot of times for boot access. Sometimes it does for 50-100 times. In the end, devices will still be rooted but startup takes a long time.
(2) startup: As mentioned: takes really long. With EVERY reboot, I get the "Android is upgrading..." message for about a minute.
This issue is solved by clearing all .odex-files with Lucky Patcher.
(3) Keyboard. I used Google Keyboard as my standard keyboard, but a while after installing/flashing (10 minutes to an hour) Google Keyboard uninstalls spontaneously (without interaction). This happened with all Keyboard versions I tried, in system and in data. And with or without it checked as primary keyboard in language & input settings. (because of those issues I switch to SwiftKey)
(4) Background: Background (custom wallpaper) disappears after a crash, and instead I get a static generic Android wallpaper. Also, every time I try to set my wallpaper back, device instantly reboots. (soft reboot which crashes and goes into a full reboot)
(5) Clock freeze: I've had those clock freezes a few times, but months ago. I think in my case it was due to some bad code in the ROM, not Titanium.
(6) Root: Even though in SuperSU settings I asked to remember autorisation, and automatically grant access, but after every boot, I had to grant permission to all apps using root access over and over again.
In order to try to solve my problems, I changed a few things.
- Google Now Launcher + XGelSettings instead of Nova Launcher. This didn't solve any of these problems, but I do like GNL more now
- I'm using Titanium Backup 6.1.5.4 stead of latest version, installed as a data app.
- I'm using SuperSU 1.98 instead of latest version, flashed as a system app.
- I'm using an older ROM version (CM M5 instead of CM M9/latest)
Most of my issues are gone now. I didn't check for (3) anymore.

Thank you for the information. I kind of suspect that Titanium Backup had something to do with my problems, as well, since it happened right around the time that a scheduled action was to take place. I think that TB was still in the middle of the previous operation at 2am when it tried to start the next one at 2:30. This has never caused a problem before, but maybe it was at the wrong place at the wrong time, as odd as that may sound.
Your problems seem to be a more constant hassle. Especially the parts about granting SU access several times. I'm leaning toward the fact that your external SD card might interfere a little. External memory is handled a lot differently in kitkat builds, which CM11 is. In newer custom ROMs, there are attempts made to "fix" it... but in your case, maybe it was counter-intuitive.
The issue is that, to paraphrase... Kit-Kat imposes a lot of data access restrictions on external media. So... if you create a file in one app... you can't modify that file in another. That's a bastardization of the whole thing, I'm sure... so look up the particulars from someone more qualified than I. haha
If I were you (and I had a few hours to burn)... I'd back up everything on your external card and your internal memory (a good idea in any case),
clear EVERYTHING and reinstall the latest versions of everything without the external card in your phone. See if you still have issues. If you don't, then the card might be a problem. Then, wipe the card and put it back in your phone, and let your phone reformat it. At that point, copy your backed-up card data to your external card in whatever way is best to keep KitKat from messing it all up again.
Luckily, I don't have issues with my external card, except for the fact that, say, if I want to put a picture of my son as my wallpaper or notification shade background... if I pick a file from the card, it won't load after I restart my phone. For stuff like this... make sure that you put the pic ON YOUR PHONE STORAGE. Consider it like this... you wouldn't have a lot of luck if your PC's desktop background or screensaver ran from the CD drive, as opposed to your hard drive.
@DrPhant0m
I already went to that process of backing up, wiping and so on. Actually, I already did it twice.
The first time, I cleaned my device, installed latest versions of everything, went through the restoring process. But most of my mentioned issues still existed.
The second time, I cleaned my device again, did about exactly what you mentioned, but I restored some older versions of the ROM, SuperSU and Titanium Backup Pro. And right now, my issues are gone!
Actually, I didn't realise there are so many KitKat-related issues with SD. Maybe my pictures indeed are/where stored on a faulty SD. But it's reformatted now, and it works. And I actually don't know if that picture is stored internally or externally, I selected the picture with/by Google Photo. No idea how it handles is
I'm not saying Titanium certainly will be the bad guy, but I'm quite sure it plays it's part in it. Other issues are caused by the custom ROM. In the last few months, developers of that ROM don't give a **** about solving issues, and introduce one new feature after the other, most of them still highly experimental. Maybe that's another problem I can't control at all
I have found that Titanium always deletes my custom wallpaper and replaces it with the Samsung default every time I do a backup. It also changes my keyboard (normally Hacker's Keyboard) back to Samsung keyboard. It started doing this several updates ago.

Every time you do a backup it does this? That's bizarre. Or, do you mean when you restore a backup? I want to say to update to the paid version and see if it fixes it, and if not... request a refund.
What info do you back up when this happens? I could see restoring a backup working against you. For instance, if you restore your keyboard and maybe even some language/input system files... it might default back to the standard keyboard because your confirmation to use a 3rd party keyboard (which could theoretically log all of your keystrokes) is no longer valid.
The background thing is a different story. When Titanium Backup works well... when I restore all of my "MUST HAVE" stuff after a new ROM install... it will restore my live wallpaper, too. There are often times that TB will NOT "work well" and the widgets and wallpaper (among other things) aren't restored properly... not to mention the fact that I can not get my bluetooth pairings and known wifi networks to restore, whether I use snapshot or XML.

I mean I take a full backup (user apps + system apps), go off for a cup of coffee, come back, see that it completed OK, exit TI, and then I see that my background is back to the Samsung default and it I open something that needs keyboard, the keyboard is also back to Samsung default. I guess it was never enough of a bother for me to go to the trouble of buying it and then complaining. I figure that for free, I can put up with a minor annoyance.

What info do you back up when this happens? I could see restoring a backup working against you. For instance, if you restore your keyboard and maybe even some language/input system files... it might default back to the standard keyboard because your confirmation to use a 3rd party keyboard (which could theoretically log all of your keystrokes) is no longer valid.

I can see where you're thinking, but it happens right after *doing* the backup. I haven't even had the need to do a full restore yet, so I don't know what that would do.

The background thing is a different story. When Titanium Backup works well... when I restore all of my "MUST HAVE" stuff after a new ROM install... it will restore my live wallpaper, too. There are often times that TB will NOT "work well" and the widgets and wallpaper (among other things) aren't restored properly... not to mention the fact that I can not get my bluetooth pairings and known wifi networks to restore, whether I use snapshot or XML.

It's very odd, that's for sure.
