Hi Folks,
My phone doesn't seem to lock my exact location on any of the mapping apps. I have tried downloading all possible GPS apps but nothing seemed to work. Is factory resetting my phone is the only solution? I have a Verizon version.
I have couple of questions:
1. I am rooted and I have TWRP installed. if I factory reset, am I going to lose both?
Your help is highly appreciated.

Factory reset wipes the data partition, not system. You won't lose root or TWRP.
The only app I use for GPS is FasterGPS
It might help with the speed. Hopefully you can get it working.
Hi scottdanpor,
Thanks much for quick reply. I am going to try the app you suggested, if that didn't work. I'll factory reset it.
Will post back if it solves my issue.

Data factory reset or if that doesn`t help reflash the stock rom with Odin and factory reset afterwards.

Glad to hear that you solved it.
The answer was always as close as a forum search as there have been countless threads about this.

There is no solution for private mode. It requires secure storage, which doesn't work with Xposed installed.
I recently rooted my note3 and installed xpose framework and other tweaks. i later realised that my power button cant lock and put my device into my lock screen.
the power button still works for everything else and i have a software button to bring it to the lock screen which i made using the "greenify app".
whats causing this and is there any fix? or any ways to put the device into safe mode ans see if this is caused by some faulty tweak? bug?
Summary:
"Power button works for everything except putting the phone to lockscreen/screen blackout"
Basic solution is to go to security and check "power button instantly locks" something like that.

List the modules you installed. It is possible that something is overriding the button function.

I removed all my modules and root permissions and used super user to remove my root.
Ive backed up all my data, removed my root access and im planning to do a factory reset. That should fix it right? Is it possible to soft brick my device this way?
Im fluent when it comes to jailbreaking but still a total noob with rooting.

Factory reset will delete all data photos, music, vids, contact and messages etc. If you've backed up everything then you are good to go for factory reset and will welcome you back to fresh out of the box phone. And no soft brick can occur by doing this.

Battery pull as in remove and put the battery back in? Yes but not in any special way?
Hmmmm...this is odd. Can't seem to figure out anything that would mess up power button in such a manner.
You're on stock rom right? Nothing fancy done to your phone.

Hi, I was on stock unrooted OB3 and today updated to 8.1. But since OB3 I have an app called "Files". I can't open it as it keep closing itself. Clearing data does not help too. And I cannot Uninstall it.
Anyone faced this before?
I can't attach my screenshot from my phone as XDA app keep trying to open from this Files app.
I will try to attach from my computer when I get the chance.

I just updated mine ota from ob3 to 8.1 b1 and that Files app works fine. Did you sideload the update?
No I didn't. I did OTA. I did however revert back to OB3 from LOS and relock my bootloader.

Try factory data reset to see if that helps and I believe it will.

I tried factory reset and was happy that Files worked. But after I restored all my apps, it stopped working again. In the end I had to uninstall my apps one by one to find the conflicting app. It is working properly without the problem app.
Thanks for the help!

You had a substratum theme installed...
If you had removed it... And rebooted... You would have been fine

Hi.
Yesterday, I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my OnePlus 6T. I accidentally completely uninstalled Google Play. I still have the GP Services, Music, and Video on my phone, but Google Play has been completely removed. I've tried reinstalling from multiple APK sources, but every time I try to install anything, it crashes. It does not ask for permissions either. I've tried wiping my phone multiple times, but it still hasn't appeared.
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. I could try reinstalling the OS through the same tool I used to convert it from the T-Mobile version to international. If that is the solution, then I'd appreciate if you let me know.
Thanks so much.
Have you tried the Msmtool? https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/tool-6t-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-oos-9-0-5-t3867448
Since you already said you wiped multiple times, this tool should bring your phone back to fresh out of the box factory reset. You'll have to unlock the bootloader and root again if you go this route.
How did you remove the play store anyway? Some kind of app?

Alright, cool. Thanks, this is what I used to turn it from T-Mobile to international as mentioned. I'll do this when I get home.
And no I used a root file explorer, was trying to downgrade to previous version.

Hope it works for you , I believe it should be the easiest method. I think maybe using the same root explorer you can replace the play store, but there's some extra steps like settings permissions that I'm not all that familiar with so I'd just use the Msmtool if I was in your situation.

Maybe I'm oversimplifying things but what if you just downloaded the Play Store apk from Apk Mirror?

Oh sorry about that, I guess I read the OP a bit too fast.
Maybe try fastbooting the factory images before msm tool? Just thinking that way you could save your data from being wiped.

I did the same thing and was trying to restore it with TiBackup. But it did not do anything and I tried restarting, and it went to boot loader. Anyway I can save my app data?
On latest ASF3 software (SM-G975F) for a week or so, all of a sudden I'm getting the "Google keeps Stopping" pop up and none of my google apps will open.
I tried all the clear cache, disabling, and uninstalling recent updates. Nothing works.
Any help appreciated!

I haven`t rooted in a long time to be honest so i can`t help you myself, maybe its best to post your question in the Magisk thread and maybe get a solution for your problem. Good luck
