i've read similar problems with other users who sought help from the meizu-flyme websites but they won't respond with anything better than a canny reply that they will be looking into it. it's been months since this problem popped up and its amazing that nobody finds anything that specifically addresses this particular product. someone suggested that it is the manufacturer that can provide a valid and lasting solution to this by providing the source code of the os. but even so, i am just a curious cat daring to get killed or be delivered by its boldness. i just can't believe that it is so difficult to gain access to my m2 note again even as it keeps me from doing so and still receive phone calls from it and let me listen to my music with it. No modifications were made to it except perhaps getting root access but I am not sure if debugging was activated before i was shut out from getting in due to this flyme lockscreen pattern that id completely forgotten! i did try the new security flaw that's just been discovered wherein you try to put in a very long string when making an emergency call with it. But when i get to the next step in using the camera, it just won't show the notification shade where i can proceed with what is expected to be done to crash or hang the unit! there is a factory mode that i can boot into but i find no suggestions on what i can do from there. in fact i can even upgrade it successfully (i can watch it go through the process) and it would later inform me that it was successfully done but still the pattern lock would still be there! before it locked me out i managed to link it to my wifi so it is actually online but i don't know how good that is if it could solve my problem at all.

I was to purchase the focus yesterday, but many problem prevented me from doing so, the shop is well know and provide very good service, anyway the phone was stated unlocked, but two units were still lock, whiles another two I have check was unlocked, but have screen problems and whiles I tried to download the display tester to. Check for pixel problem, I get the message, something like "your app limit have been reach, please connect to Zune and update".
Does anyone know what this mean, and has the update for the focus been released yet, after the first update which have killed many Samsung phones.
Lastly, if a update is available, will it rectify the limit problem.
Thanks

honestly, i stopped reading after few seconds.
have you ever heard about punctuation? - you know, the thing that looks like dots and commas, makes reading much easier.
244 characters in 1 sentence.
wow dude, looks like you dont wanna get helped.

From the Google Smart Lock support page (https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6093922):
"Note: When you don't use your phone for 4 hours, and after you reboot your phone, you'll need to manually unlock it with your PIN, pattern or password"
It's a security feature.
EDIT: ...and, wow, yes, that was some run-on sentence!
Is there a root app to disable it or not

Hi to all. How any one that has the same setup will help me understand. I will try and keep it short. First, i'm using samsung note 4 running 6.0.1 now.
Ok, so here goes:
I use my gear 2 together with my note 4 as a trusted device. You know like every time the gear 2 is close, the device must stay unlocked. But it does not stay unlocked and there is no Bluetooth disconnecting, anything like this. I looked at that. Battery is full, the gear 2 and phone stayed together and there was no setting like disable and enabling of Bluetooth at any stage.
I connect it now and its fine, but after a while (don't know the exact time here ), say after 3 hours of no use, i press the power button and it asks for my pin or fingerprint as if the gear 2 is not near. The gear 2 is still on and there was nothing like disconnecting. As if the phone on its own make sure that it asks the finger print every now and again.
For example, i leave it overnight the next morning first fingerprint then you can use the phone.I hate this. It kind of bugs me if they steal the phone and the range is to big, the device will lock any way. Why lock when he gear 2 it near the phone? Any help please.

Fixed that for you
I really had to break that down to make it readable for me. But as others said, it's an Android feature. Afaik there is no way of disabling that all together. There might be some xposed module i haven't heard of, but with my moto360 i couldn't get it to work the way you'd want. Sorry mate

As the programmers use to says: Its a feature, not a bug
Some people are just plain jerks, and I wish XDA would take these "grammar police" trolls a bit more seriously and penalize them.
Perhaps OP is using a translator, or is from another country, or is young. That should not matter to any of us and we should offer our help regardless of whether he/she includes proper punctuation or not. I'm sure the effort he/she put into typing it was much greater than that of the ridiculous responses some of you gave.
thanks Crossvxm i appreciate that you came up for me its just i love the new 6.0.1 but there are a few new thing that google does not say and i thought it was a bug like my Bluetooth failing

The Note 4 is problematic all around, but 6.0.1 is a problem for every device that has it. It is the reason I left my Nexus 6P, and my Nexus 6. I have a Xiaomi Mi Max, also on 6.0.1 and it has the same major flaws I experienced on all devices running 6.0.1. The problems I speak of are the WiFi and Data stop working briefly while browsing the web, or downloading something. However, I believe this is an issue related to the security patches related to Qualcomm devices on 6.0.1. It seems like an overall radio problem.
Hello folks, new to the forum here. My wife and I both recently got Galaxy S7s from Sams, and our carrier is AT&T. For whatever reason, the push updates never happen on my phone, so I am still in 6.0.1, but my wife's has gotten 7.0 pushed to hers. Problem is that after a while (perhaps a couple of days), her phone starts to develop a persistent lag, where she can't really do anything at all, like typing or changing apps, so severe is the lag. The phone was basically useless at that point, so she would have to restart the phone to restore its normal function. But the lag would always return, and she would need restart multiple times per day.
Talking to Samsung and AT&T proved fruitless at getting any troubleshooting done other than factory resetting the phone. That of course fixed the problem, but as soon as the 7.0 push update happened, the lag came back. We eventually got AT&T to send us a new phone on warranty. But just recently her phone got 7.0 pushed and sure enough the lag is back. Clearly the problem is software related, as my phone is still 6.0.1 and runs perfectly.
I am pretty uninitiated in the Android world, and so I was hoping you folks might be able to help us restore her phone, as I am certain we will get no useful help through the "official" channels. We aren't looking to root or anything, but if there is troubleshooting or a guide we could walk through, we would sure appreciate the help.
Thanks!
I had the same problem when my S7 did the update from 6.0.1 to Android 7. I asked AT&T to change the phone and they did. When the new phone did the update the lag problems started again. I downgrade to stock 6.0.1 and disable the update service with Package Disabler. Now I keep on android 6.0.1 (which I like more than the Nougat) and I do not have lag problems.
You could try to flash the Nougat update manually. It's not exactly simple, but a fair amount of reading up on it should prepare you. Obviously you'll lose all personal data, and there's even a chance it might still be laggy for you. There is a guide on how to do this on droidviews.com that helped me tremendously. Make sure that if you try this, you plug in the phone only after it is in download mode and only after Odin is open. Plus you'll need the drivers and to make sure the phone is in USB Debugging mode via developer options, as well as turn on OEM unlock before you try this. Good luck!
My brother passed away and was using this phone until a couple of weeks ago. I don't have the lockscreen pattern but I'm trying to do a little detective work regarding my brothers last activity. I reached out to law enforcement, but they don't have an active investigation and they suggested that I reach out to his cell provider [Tracfone] which I might try. Of specific interest to me is his text message activity on the day of his death.
Anyhow I scoured the net and tried to beat the lockscreen via emergency dialer, and also tried to connect via adb shell and MTP. I also don't think the device was registered via the samsung tools. I'm at the point where the device told me I have 9 unlock attempts left and it will erase the device after. The lockscreen seems to appear at device power and I think that it might not have booted android completely at this point.
Is anybody aware of a method to bypass the lockscreen which would work on this device so I can look into the details surrounding his death?
Sort of desperate here. There seems to be some software called Dr Fone that claims to have a lockscreen removal. However not sure that it works and on this device.
I may have a solution for this if you are wanting to preserve data if not check around on youtube for a video on FRP resetting this. I might have wrote a tutorial on this somewhere but I cant remember atm. Basically if you don't want to preserve the devices data (your brothers as you say) then you will simply factory reset it and then follow an FRP Removal tutorial you can find on here and or youtube.
btw nice leet username =]

Speaking of nice usernames
If you're still around, I have an old J327t1 that I had dropped and broke the screen on a few years ago. I recently fixed it, but can't remember PIN. I would like to preserve the data and am interested in what you have

All you need to do is find a recovery for that and flash it then go into the lock files and remove those. You can find some guides here on XDA or on youtube.
This was before I got into development, so adb isn't enabled, bootloader is still locked, and the phone is not rooted, so I'm skeptical I'd be able to flash. It's also running (I believe) Marshmallow, and most of those "find and delete lock settings" methods were for 4.x Kit-Kat and below. I could be wrong though.
If you have a particular thread in your watch list, I'd be grateful for the link.
I've been all over looking for a solution, hence me posting in here as opposed to creating a thread. Didn't want to reinvent the wheel if I didn't have to.
Despite the above limitations, the device has not received any updates since June 2017, it DOES go into MTP mode when I hook it to my laptop, and I have verified that it is vulnerable to the Mtpwn exploit.

Also, I turned a moto g7 Play into a Nethunter device and had tried Android PIN Bruteforce, but after entering in so many PINs it would make me wait 30 seconds to try again and I couldn't figure out how to get my g7 to keep the screen of the J3 on. Or wake it back up, since it requires you to hit power then swipe the screen.
I ended up wiping it because it had Pie and no workaround for the wifi throttling, and installed Q. It's rooted, but I haven't set up nethunter back up on it yet. I do have an S5 that I has Nethunter, but haven't set it up with HID support yet. Plus, the battery on that would drain too quickly to use for this process.
I used to connect 2 Bluetooth devices and listen on both devices at the same time on Android 10. Ever since the tablet got updated to Android 11, this dual audio feature doesn't work.
Steps I used on Android 10 to get dual audio is listed below. The same setup doesn't work on Android 11. Even though its able to connect to both devices, it is allowing to play on only one device at a time
1) Pair 2 Bluetooth devices
2) go to Media panel in the notifications section which allows you to enable sound on both devices at same time
Hi there,
You're not alone with this problem. It seems Samsung decided the S5e is not worth supporting this feature anymore and simply removed it with the update.
There's a thread in the Samsung community forum about it, but as you might guess, no official statement:
https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/tablets/dual-audio-fehlt-nach-update-auf-android-11-one-ui-3-1-tab-s5e/m-p/3606484#
Feel free to address your dissatisfaction there, the more voices, the higher the small chance of getting it back the way it was before...
Unfortunately the thread is in German, but making the problem more international can only help!

For anyone else searching forums on this issue, I did revert back to Android 10 on my S5e and I now have the feature back. As of now you can still successfully roll back to 10 via ODIN

I was actually thinking about that too, but this will void your warranty of the device, right?
Nevertheless, I'm still considering this, especially also since Samsung most likely won't provide another update to Android 12, even though the sister device Tab S6 is confirmed to get it.
Is there any particular how-to description that you followed, which you could link here?
Thanks for the hint!

I pretty much followed instructions in this youtube video:
As far as firmware to choose in video, I choose Cellular South since that is the USA version. And for my tablet there is no CP file since it doesnt have a radio. When you hold down volume keys and plug in tablet it also automatically goes in debug mode versus having to select it like he did, at least for me it did. I believe those were the only differences in video. It took my windows PC forever to download and install drivers, that was only hiccup. Took along time flash also, be patient, dont touch anything, let it do its thing.
As far as warranty, IDK, this is just flashing same Software back to device, not a custom ROM, no rooting required, seems like it wouldnt be void. You'd have to ask that question to more experienced members here. But I can tell you, warranties usually suck anyway, and if your device is good out of the box for a month it is typically good for years. Hit me up if you decide to do it and have a question, Ill try to help best I can. It was a must feature for me to have and so glad to have it back. I also used to watch movies with my wireless and hand someone else a wired pair, that feature also was removed in 11 but works in 10
