Can anyone with SM-G925W8 confirm if putting twrp enables flashing custom roms safely? I just bought this device and I don't want to brick it in case.

Just In Case - How to reboot (hard reset)

Wife's S7 locked up with a black screen, but the capacitive buttons still lit up and volume adjustments made the normal sounds, etc.

This is normally where I'd do a battery pull, but of course the S7 is a sealed system.

Hold volume down + Power for 5 seconds and it's the functional equivalent of a battery pull.

Enable Samsung Labs? (Remove app drawer)

Anyone seen a way to enable Samsung labs on the AT&T model? I want to disable the app drawer and use themes. Currently I have to use Hola Launcher to go without the app drawer but it's getting super bloated.

Thanks

Bootloop hardware failure and LG's incompetent repair

I finally ran into the bootloop problem that is common with early G4's (if you have a serial number that starts with 505, you're basically gonna be screwed at some point). Since it's a hardware issue that LG acknowledges, I sent it back to the factory under warranty, waited for two weeks using my old backup phone, and finally received it back today.

Ready for the fun part? They had repaired something that wasn't broken (kind of like surgery on the wrong body part) and had not touched the bootloop issue! They fixed "No power with cable" by replacing the flash memory. This was never an issue. The frustrating thing is that they didn't even restart the phone to find out if it had been fixed, because if they had it would have gone right back into the bootloop. Arg!

The G4 is now back on route to LG. I said they should give me a new phone, but customer service said they only do that if it cannot be repaired. I'll keep my fingers crossed that they go to the trouble to turn on the phone after "repair" this time.

Thanks for letting me rant!

Won't boot unless charging

Hi,

I have the gen 1 Moto 360 and I've used it pretty consistently since I got it shortly after release. I've recently started having a strange problem - if I turn the watch off (the whole thing through Settings, not the screen), it won't boot. It'll go through the Motorola "M" screen and then start on the Android Wear boot animation, but always crashes there. The screen turns off suddenly without any visible glitches or errors. I can do this all day long and it always crashes in the boot animation, though not always at the same time in it. On the other hand, if I place it in the charger (regardless of how much charge the battery has), it will automatically start booting and will make it all the way through no problem. I've tried booting through Recovery and even doing a Factory Reset but nothing seems to work other than putting it on the charger (which isn't terribly conventient unless I'm at home).

Based on some of the other threads I'm seeing this is probably a fairly minor problem (fairly easy to just not turn the watch off), but does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it (or even why putting it in the charger makes it work)?

Thanks!
