[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Do you also have a lot of social media apps installed? If so, that is why your device is lagging.

If you don't have a lot of social media apps, maybe it's because of some other apps that you have installed, apps that take up a lot of your devices resources, even when they are just running in the background.

In other words, your device is too cheap and has hardware that is too limited to perform well with the apps that you have installed.

If you like playing high resolution games and using apps that require a lot of resources, I suggest that you don't buy cheap, hardware limited devices. If you can't afford a better device, then be prepared to deal with these kinds of issues because you will always have this problem when buying cheap devices.

You basically have 2 choices:

1) buy better devices

Or

2) don't install games and apps that require a lot of hardware resources for them to function.

If you are looking for a solution that will allow these demanding games and apps to run on a low end device without lagging or having issues, you will not find any. You may find things that give "some" performance improvement, but you won't really get much out of them, they won't really help enough.

You have this phone mate? (https://m.gsmarena.com/micromax_canvas_a1-6686.php)

Hate to be a party pooper, but on your specs don't expect pubg or fortnite. Not even asphalt. 6 years ago, it would have been a maybe. Nowadays don't bother. At best you are gonna have a frozen game. Most likely it won't open. Had a tablet, same specs. Had to replace it over the years, because 1 gb is not even seemingly enough this days. Go for 3+ gb of ram if you want gaming. Sorry mate, but beyond Candy Crush you are out of luck.

Any chance for Huawei, due to its ongoing fight with the USA government and drop in popularity, to reopen it's bootloader unlock codes service ?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I doubt it, but, even if it were going to happen at some point in the future, we wouldn't know until after it was done, unless Huawei releases a statement that they will be reopening the unlock service or if some kind of media outlet publishes an article about the service being reopened.

[General Questions and Answers] Nokia_8_fan:
Hello everyone!

It is me again, I am still without my Nokia 8 which has bricked and still have not managed to get it revived. Now with what's happening in the world it has been very painful for me, all my contacts and messages were in my Nokia 8 and since (in UK) are in lock down, we can't go out, I have no way to make phone calls or SMS messages to anyone! :crying:

Despite this, I am hopeful and I have quick question (again), in the past some of you suggested using a device or "Miracle Box" to enter the phone (even though the phone is in EDL mode or you use EDL cable). I have done as much research as I can and I still don't understand how these devices can access the phone and do operations that you can't do on the phone alone. It just doesn't make sense to me.

I have looked everywhere and I can't seem to find an explanation, can someone tell me how is this possible? And might it benefit me?? :(

Hope you all are safe in your homes! ??
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Some of the "boxes" for unbricking/flashing connect to the device via USB then connect to PC.

Some of them have "pigtailed" cables that are soldered directly to the motherboard/chips at certain points to directly access/flash the hardware by force.

These tools/processes are not guaranteed to work and will almost certainly thoroughly corrupt/destroy the device if the attempt fails. It is a fairly complicated process for the uninitiated, I don't suggest that you try it, I suggest you find a reputable shop with the capability to do it.

I know of this from the start, and they were never synced or backed up. They are only stored on the phone.

This is why I am so eager to unbrick my Nokia 8 :(

That's very interesting and thankful for some insight about these devices.

I've seen a few of them including Miracle Box and Octopus Box, both of which claim to be compatible with Nokia 8, there are a few Youtube videos of them too, however they are of working phones and not bricked.

Even though it connects to the box via USB then connect to PC, I still don't see how it can access a phone's internal flash differently. I see some videos and tutorials that still uses EDL mode for access but through the box. How is this different compared to directly connecting via USB from the phone itself?? :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The box interfaces in a different way than you would when using the standard flash tools to flash firmware, the USB protocols are different. In some cases, it is a matter of what order the pinouts are in or whether certain pins have power or lack of power on them and how much power it is or isn't or how much resistance the current does or doesn't have. On some devices, you can open the device and use a jumper wire or series of jumper wires to "jump" certain contact points on the motherboard to trigger your device into the mode you need and then use some fairly common flashing tools to repair the device, without using a box. You may have to rig a cable though, such as changing the order of the wiring/pins or clipping into a wire or wires to add a resistor of a certain specific value according to whatever the device requires.

Electronic devices are binary systems, everything is a series of "switches", everything works off of preset conditions, when this/do that, if this/do that.

1 or 0 = on/off, true/false, yes/no. Sending the right signal/code satisfies certain preset conditions which trigger certain "switches" within the device, thus allowing the required connection in order to access/repair/flash the software on the device.

Hello guys,

yesterday I flashed a new ROM and when I tried to restore my Titanium Backup it didn't work, of course. So I went back again and tried another method. With another tool called migrate I created a zip which consisted of my contacts and apps, but also this type of backup didn't work. In the end it bricked my phone after several attempts.

So do you have some good, reliable backup-app recommendations?

from what I be read, Optical Image Stabilization is hardware based, allowing the camera to adjust to movement and good for pictures, while Electronic Image Stabilization is mostly software based, good for videos. did I get this somewhat right ?

if so, can't smartphone makers use both technologies simultaneously ? eis smartphones lack in photos department and so can be said about ois in video department.

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

I don't bother with Titanium Backup, too much stuff prone to not work. for contacts is use Google backup, for apps, Google is my guy as well, for photos and other stuff I make the backup the old fashioned way, with a PC or a micro SDcard. or when I flash stuff, most of the time I don't wipe internal. so no need to delete everything. and apps, even when I have 30 apps to download, are like 20 min away.
[General Questions and Answers] clisterX:
Thank you for your fast response.

Since I don't really trust Google and sometimes use ROMs without google services, I am looking for other ways to make a backup. Unfortunately I haven't found any good app yet which isn't cloud based and does work. As I have about 100 - 200 apps and data in these apps as well, I rely on good backups.

Apparently there is a known bug in 4.1.2 Android that is causing this

It Happens to be the ARHD8.0 but pretty sure this trick would work on any other ROM).take the entire "wifi" folder from a working 4.1.1 ROM turn OFF wifi, and use ES FILE EXPLORER" to DELETE the 4.1.2 wifi folder and paste in the 4.1.1 version. then change permissions of the folder to match the old one in "ES FILE EXPLORER" the 'shape of the tick marks' should be "up-across-down" if that makes sense. then go into the wifi folder and made EACH FILE have same permissions becuse they dont seem to follow the parent.

Also please be careful when editing files like this as it can go horribly wrong if you delete the wrong folder etc.

Yep, that was one of the videos that convinced me to get a MotoACTV for rooting. I considered changing the Rom, but most of the Roms say they are bluetooth limited which probably means no Bluetooth PAN for internet. I saw that the GNote 3 is advertised with Galaxy Gear, had to laugh since i probably already get more features with a rooted ACTV. Works great for checking weather, email, text messages, etc when you dont want to have to take your phone out.

hey, Raresh T

i mainly only care about rooting an android device so that i can access the \data\data folder.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
For most of the features both apps ever worked fine for me, just I had some troubles with:

- TB installing apks so this is ROM dependent and not always plays good with some permissions required.

- Migrate restoring permissions and probably some of the data; all apps have a specific ID that is connected with a specific custom ROM and restoring certain apps to get it run with a different custom ROMs then cause some troubles, and I found that Migrate some times didn't work fine at this point but didn't have trouble with TB so I inclined to think that the issue is most likely with permissions and TB does a better job for this process.

Ever is recommended the proper wipes before to make a restore.

To bypass both possible errors what I do -and till now ever worked- is backup/restore only the batch of apks (unchecking data and permissions) with Migrate and backup/restore only data with TB.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Your phone is a Tracfone device, that means that your bootloader is almost certainly locked. This means that you will not be able to root your device using TWRP or Magisk. You will have to try the various universal rooting android apps or the various PC universal programs for rooting android devices, such as Kingroot, King-o-Root, etc.. Do some Google searches for:

"Apps for rooting android devices"

And

"Mac OSX android rooting programs"

That should find many different apps and programs to try, try all of them that you can find, maybe you will get lucky.
[General Questions and Answers] clisterX:
My Problem with TB is that some apps won't restore with the result that I'm forced to restore every app manually, which is very exhausting with about 100-200 apps.

After I realised this problem I looked for alternatives and found migrate. I made a backup, flashed it, but wasn't able to restore anything when I had rebooted. I tried many things, played around that it even caused a bootloop.

I will try your approach next time, but when you uncheck data, doesn't that mean that only the apk is restored?

Maybe I'm to dumb to find the right program, but it bothers me that there's no app yet, after so many years of android, that just works fine for making backups.

Nonetheless thank you for your help and every tip is appreciated.

I don't know if this applies to your issue, but, if you are trying to backup system apps/data, that is your problem.

Well, if the Samsung account is still logged on, you know his email. you could send the former owner a mail asking him to log out from the device. Easier way to do it. Samsung might have ways to stop you from reseting the phone, in case it got stolen.
