I am properly pissed off now.
I suffered from a bug where my phone ran out of charge and switched off and my Pixel 6 forgot all the stored fingerprints and locked the sensor. Whenever i try to add a new fingerprint i see the below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now i really hoped the December update will solve it so i just installed it and nope, it's exactly the same.
I know a factory reset fixes it, but i sold my Pixel 5 so can't transfer backups across any more and i don't want to lose all my settings and app data again. Is cloud backup as good for that as copying across devices? The backup size is only 71MB so i expect to lose pretty much everything. Did anyone else manage to find a solution to this bug without needing to reset?

Only root backups can save your app data (logins), Google's non root / other non root backups are still ****.

Hello
I would like my Android device encrypted, as it contains sensitive data. I'm currently on cm-9.0.0-rc1-tinystream-hephappy-p500 (RC1-Rev.B). Now, here is what happened:
- To encrypt internal
I went to Security in System Settings and touched "Encrypt Device". It gave some confirmations and I've accepted them however, now I'm kind of stuck on this screen.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My first thought was "it is encrypting". But after hours of waiting, I wanted to check if it's done already. So I clicked the power-button once (just to unlock) and it asked for my password. I've entered it and it just went into my normal launcher. I've checked if anything had changed and no, my device has not been encrypted. Any logs somewhere? Any ideas what could have caused the problem?
- To encrypt SDcard
I did some research and didn't find something perfectly for my needs. Anyone has any idea on how to encrypt an SD card to properly work together with Android?
Note: I am using LINK2SD.
Thanks for your help
Another question that actually has nothing to do with my previous post that I post here because it's not worth a new thread: every time I plug in my phone into the charger, it boots automaticly. I don't want that, my previous build of CM9 did just recharge without booting, something I prefer. Any way to configure that?
Another question I want to add to the this thread: is it possible to combine a password lock and a slide lockscreen? Like when I encrypt the phone to enter a password to decrypt it again and then just use the normal slide lockscreen to unlock it each time after the decryption?
One last question: is there any way to encrypt the SQL database in Android? As it contains sensitive data... I've read something about SQLCipher but it doesn't get to work (any help would be appreciated).

HI all, does anyone know of an app that works in the same way as the built in google backup works, except it saves to a local pc over wifi on a schedule?
The 15Gb cloud space is nowhere near enough for me but I have a server with plenty of space, so makes sense to use that.
I have seen a few apps that backup media, but I really want everything backed up (sms, app data, wifi passwords etc)
Is this even possible with a 3rd party app? My phone is a Honor View, The official huawei app (hicare) does most of them but needs the device to be plugged in via USB and I don't think it will let me restore to a non huaewi phone in the future.
Edit: forgot to mention, locked bootloader so not rootable

Yeah I'm afraid the backup solution you were searching for is one who needs root. But I can suggest something else. You can transfer the data you have on your drive (files other than backups) on your server, it will leave room for backups.
Otherwise you may wanna consider rooting, if it is possible with this Huawei model (that's why I hate Huawei, but don't get me started on that lol)
Have a good day
@flamery
1. No root mode is required to create a backup
2. Hint: Backup to an external SD-card. Use Super Backup app. It's a free-of-charge app.

BTW: To root device's Android its bootloader must not be unlocked. Has nothing to do with each other.
Thanks both I will check it out!
Although I just discovered something interesting, if you change the setting in Google photos from original quality to high quality they don't count toward the 15Gb quota so I just freed up a lot of space.
Suddenly phone got 5-10 fps out of nowhere and not changing back.
Decided to get logcat and see if something interesting came up (this is maybe 40 min after when phone started to be a little more "normal")
It started ok with some warning but soon went to application error and then access denied to files?!
I did not use Instagram(the app crashing) for over 12 hours before.
Now the last picture is running over and over again (same things coming up, like it was looped)
So am I forced to reset and flash from start? Should I be worried about anything?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: it changed to some really worth and (to me) worrying things so a full reset is mandatory when I get home...

It seems your software has been corrupted somehow. Yes, reflashing your stock firmware should fix this.

Morning,so i am going to try yet again for some help here with regards my mom's Nokia 1 device running on Android 10 Go. Since she updated her phone to Android 10,she has had cmstant issues with the phone. Since updating it,her messages app will not switch to dark mode at all,i have tried uninstalling it and replacing it with other versions etc but it never has a dark mode option available in the app at all.
Then her Google Chrome would not update at all. I got that sorted after a lot of trial and error,resetting the phone and so on. Now the phone has issues with her wallpapers resetting to the default wallpaper the whole time at random. She also suddenly has an issue with her camera after the recent camera related update. She can take a photo,but is unable to view it from her camera app after taking the photo. She also is unable to delete the photo after taking it.
So,i am wanting to know if anyone has any idea of how to perform a software repair or maybe a way to re-install Android 10 on her phone other than just doing a factory reset which does'nt fix any of her issues anyway. Please,we just want to get the phone working properly,so if anyone knows how we can do that,it would be appreciated.
Thank you
Just like any MTK phone use spflashtool then flash it
U should check Wich model first

@Hucin44 thank you. Have you tried this with a Nokia 1 or do you know someone that has? I do not want to try this if nobody else has and were successful. Last thing i want is to brick my mom's phone.
U can follow this
Downgrade Nokia 1 TA-1066 from Android 10 Go to Android 8.1 Go
The Nokia 1 recently got the Android 10 update. The update got lot of bugs like SD card losing write permissions, launcher3 not having widgets and shortcuts on top of other bugs in Pie. This has compelled me to look for going back to Android 8.1...
forum.xda-developers.com
It's work for more secure if afraid to brick the phone uncheck preloader in spflashtool
Thank you

I can factory reset the phone but im not sure if that is really nessesairy. as this is my non used phone and just got a new one I wanted to try this out but i cannot seem to make it work. Anyone else has had this problem and/or has a fix for it? Thanks beforehand

If u have 2 SIMs, use only the 1. If you also use Sdcard remove it and try again with only 1 SIM slot and nothing else.
I only have 1 sim so that cannot be it I tried in both the first and second slot and both don't work.

Tried multiple things and it did not work thanks for the try tho. So you have any other solution for this? Or would factory reset be better
Fixed it by factory resetting it and it worked just fine.
Logging out and logging back in worked for me
