Regarding your PM:

It's not exactly the best thing to start another major task like "rooting" just to get a simple task done, Lenovo also voids warranty if you unlock the bootloader (which is necessary to root), not all manufacturers support it!

The most simple thing next is (as mentioned before) to sync your contacts with Google (you may install Google Contacts and change the app settings accordingly), once successfully completed you should be able to sync them with your new device...

If syncing to Google is a privacy problem for you I'd suggest you to find a Backup+ support forum, it's open source and should be supported, this way you'll find help debugging the problem with the mixed numbers...

Sorry I'm out of ideas!

I'm usually not helping via private conversation, simply because if it's written in the public forums anyone can search and find it anytime, we have lots of users who never needed to post just because almost every answer to any specific question is already there, potential (none sensitive) interesting information it's not supposed to be enclosed in a private message!

UMIGIDI ONE PRO FINGERPRINT MISSING: I tried to install custom rom an root my new UMIDIGI ONE PRO Android 8.1 Oreo. I couldn't root the phone because it was impossible to mount data partition. No tutorial could help me. However I installed the rom, (I got from the official website of UMIDIGI), the phone is still not rooted, and the worse about all ist, THE FINGERPRINT FUNCTION IS MISSING FROM SETTINGS. And there is no installed "com.fingerprintauthentificationservice installed in the apps. I guess the installed rom doesn't include the fingerprint. Unfortunately, I apparently lost my backups trying to fix the problem with twrp. Could anyone help please. Is there any custom rom for UMIGIDI ONE PLUS sopporting the fingerprint or does anyone know how to fix the problem? Thanks a lot.

Then backup with ADB. You can find instructions in this thread.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You can try firstly doing a factory reset, if fingerprint is present in the build that you flashed then this will solve it.

In the case that is not present then try with other firmware or is possible that an OTA update solved this but you can´t usually received if you are rooted or using a custom recovery.

Here is the official forum for your device with some OTA updates http://community.umidigi.com/thread-17407-1-1.html and also you can share some troubles/questions/experience with the community.

About root device I guess you missed some step in TWRP, data is not visible cause some devices detects that a partition was modified and encrypts the data and you need at first time to format data (all your data obviously will gone), flash Magisk via adb sideload then in order to can reboot flash some kind of lazy_flasher/antibootloop or a specific decryption_data zip for your device in the way that ever that you booted to TWRP there´s no need to format data again and again.

I installed the OTA update, but the problem is still not fixed. I tried with three different rom verions, still not there. I entered the engineer mode and tested the sensors. Everything is OK except the fingerprint for wich it said "not supported". But I'm 100% sure, it's not a hardware problem. Because the phone is new and never felt down. The fingerprint just disappeared, when I installed custom rom. Any other solution I can try?

Flashing new Firmware to Galaxy S7 (SM-G930V)

I have a Verizon Galaxy S7 and just switched to US Cellular and have an active US Cellular SIM in an iPhone. I hate the iPhone and want to use my Galaxy S7. I think I need to flash a different firmware version for it to work. (I've popped in the SIM and messed with APN settings and that's not working). I'm wondering if I should flash the US Unlocked Firmware or the US Cellular specific firmware? I honestly don't care which one, I just want the phone to work on the network. Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Just google'ed your LGP690F and it's actually running on Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread, right? That's very outdated and hardly any App will support it, astonishingly SMS Backup+ and SMS backup & restore does support Android down to 2.3+, hence it includes the outdated firmware of your ancient device which should be 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 , even though it's on the absolute minimum and and *should* support it I'd simply guess that any Android version specific incompatibility messes the backup/restore process...

After all we discussed so far it'd be probably the easiest thing to manually edit the wrong codes in your contacts list, you should be able to open the SMS on your new device and click on the 3dot menu at the top right, chose "open contact" and edit the number accordingly (the instructions may vary on your device), this way at you at least have all messages, even though you need to edit some numbers yourself, now that's the very last thing which I can think of, hope it helps!
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Flashing whole partitions with a firmware for your exact model and version must to solve it in the case that is not a hardware failure.

If the stock rom don´t solve this less would do it a custom rom. Custom rom can improve performance but not implement a feature hardware based. (if this is the case)

Install an app like Aida64, if it doesn´t detect it then the module hardware is not present (it could happen) or you have a last hope, open the back cover and check by your own if the flex was released from the module.
[General Questions and Answers] Blackchancellor:
Thanks for your effort. But I've already tried all you mentioned without positive results, exept opening, because I don't want to take the risk to break someting more by opening. But I believe it's definitely not a hardware problem. I saw in the Threads of Umidigi forum that another user had the same problem after installing OTA update. Maybe it's a bug included in the provided stock rom. I'm actually hoping more user will enconter that problem, so that a developper offer a solution to fix it or Umidigi will release an update where it's fixed.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If sometime worked the fingerprint and then just stopped to work you can try the next; In SPFlashTool choose the option Firmware Upgrade, this will format first all the partitions auto selected and then will flash over all of them and this will leave it like a new phone, reboot first and check, if not then do an OTA update.

Just a reminder don´t choose Format All and the option Download flashes the firmware over the preexisting so in this case it wouldn´t solve the issue assuming that is software related.

As soon as i typed my last message its pretty much what i thought and called myself an idiot for not thinking of it, just a couple of questions on this subject though, i noticed on the moto g5 it has a "you" contract im guessing so you can put your own details there? I do send myself text messages from time to time to remind me of things and just wanted to make sure. And even if i change the numbers from saving contacts from messages they should come up with the names i give them anyway right? Another thing im thinking of how long are conversation threads normally before the oldest message gets deleted? Is there anyway to increase/decrease?

I'm also currently only using my phone locally would i have to do a factory reset or just login to my google account? Can i still log out of chrome etc and not sync bookmarks etc from it? Don't want my bookmarks to be on my google account, just stored and backed up locally somewhere else.

EDIT so i tried adding my own details to the me section, it didn't change my number/name in the messages app like it does if i add a separate contact, i tried deleting the me contact but it doesn't let me do it. + if i just delete all the details the me contact now just has no name. Is there a way to set it back it its default nothing?

Hello guys!

I've been using the XDA forum and the app for a long time. I never had any problems until today.

Since this morning I have trouble to log in via the XDA app. The problem exists only when I'm connected on my Wi-Fi. The app simply logs me off and when I try to log in again, it says that the password or the user name is incorrect. The internet works fine, it opens XDA news, or any other site with no problems. Everything woks fine even if I open the XDA via browser.

When I'm not on my Wi-Fi, but using my mobile data, all is fine and I can log in the app. I haven't tried on some other Wi-Fi.

When I open the XDA forum on my computer, it also works fine, so it's not up to the internet. It must be some app problem.

Does anyone alse have this issue?

Nokia 2.1 running oreo go 8.1. Alarms wont go off

Wow I can't believe I have spent so much time on this simple issue which even old phones were able to do flawlessly.

Brand new Nokia 2.1 running oreo go 8.1. Alarms would suddenly disappear from the lock screen or the top notification bar and then won't go off on the time specified.

Apparently a lot of people are facing this issue as it turns out by google search and I have tried the latest version of the google clock and another 3rd party alarm clock and it happens to both. Contacted support and they ask to clear cache and do things like a soft reset neither of which work at all.

I'm lost for solution as I can't get my alarms to keep running in the background until I open my clock app every now and then again and reset the alarm.

It happens to any other app that can run in the background 'auto silence scheduler' app the notification disappears and the app fails to start the scheduled silent time.

Seems like oreo is force closing apps that are running in the background when the phone is put to sleep for a while. Then those apps wont start until they are manually started.

Alarms is the worst because if it will happen during the night and I won't wake up at the time in the morning.
[General Questions and Answers] DB126:
- open settings

- search for 'battery optimization'

- select 'not optimized' for your favorite alarm/clock app(s)

- done

Note: some ROMs inexplicably rename "battery optimization" to some other buzz phrase or hide it under developer options. Check your device forum for details.

Old (nearly obsolete) device. For <$100 USD you can acquire a modern gizmo that will run circles around a Spro 2 while rocking Android 7+. The proposed projects are a huge endeavor that are unlikely to succeed. That said, the best leanings often emerge from failures. Enjoy.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
First of all, the only way you would get others to help you is if you bought copies of the device to share with those willing to help, I doubt you'll find anyone that already owns one of these devices, especially not anyone with enough knowledge to be able to be a part of your intended projects. The only way anyone could help is if they have one of the devices in their possession in order to test their work, you would have to provide the device for them to test, you can't expect them to help you with a project and then also buy a device in order to help you.

I don't think you truly understand what you are asking. I think the only thing you understand is the end result that you want but you don't want to do it all yourself, even though you are the only that wants it.

I have some very noob questions about a Samsung Galaxy tab 3 smt110... And I can't seem to find the answers I'm looking for... like how to make it run not like crap without a computer. And you know simple stupid things like that.

And I also have a motto z if anyone possibly knows how to make this piece of crap run any better. No worries if not though.

I'm really wanting to get this tab up and running decent. Because I've read that it can. So if there's anyone that could possibly help a noob...

1. How do I know what is bloatware and what is not?

2. How do I change the crappy settings to ones that actually work decent. I've already changed my launcher to Google now.

3. How do I calibrate the screen if it's not letting me really push things.

4. How would I go about putting the system update on it that I found on the Samsung website?

If this isn't the right spot I'm really sorry to post here. Feel free to send me in the right direction. I accept pms as well if you think you can help.

Thanks,

Ma

I can't figure out how to install the new Google camera port to my pixel 2xl running DU Oreo. I downloaded and clicked install, then says app not installed. So I pushed it to system/app and rebooted. No profit. Any ideas? Wouldn't a reboot set the permissions?

1. Bloatware is the stuff that your OEM ships on device and you don't want it nor like it. For e.g. Most GAPPS are bloatware for me.

2. Flash a Custom ROM or use Xposed or any other mod of your choice

3. No idea as I don't hold the device nor I ever did calibration.

4. If it's for your device, go ahead. Better check users feedback first. Take a backup as well just in case.

You can also ask in device specific forums where people who hold same devices will be able to help you better. Anyway, feel free to ask here as well.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That's easy to say when you're only talking about rooting a device, but when it comes to developing for a device(i.e. building recoveries and ROMs), it definitely requires people to have the device in hand to test what is built. Unless you expect developers to build something that is completely untested then have other people in the community run the risk of bricking their personal device in order to do even the initial testing before anything is actually released to the whole community.

I wasn't being rude, I was stating that you don't realize all that is involved in what you're asking, that's all. There is quite a bit more involved in building for a specific device. The bulk of the new development in XDA community focuses on current devices, older devices that have new development, have it because the lesser experienced users take it into their own hands to learn how to improve their device themselves, the results vary depending on how much work they put in and the knowledge they have.

As for your comment about battery life on newer projector capable devices. If you look around at other older devices here that have upgraded to marshmallow, nougat and Oreo, you'll see that they don't fare any better with battery life with the newer OS installed.

Besides, using a d2 device as an example, doesn't support your point in the first place because all of the d2 devices(d2att, d2vzw, d2spr, d2tmo, etc..) can all just straight up flash each others ROMs without risking a bricked device, they wouldn't all have all features working, but the ROMs would flash. In other words, there wasn't enough difference between the devices to matter when it comes to the ROMs themselves(this is why we had the d2lte unified ROMs which all of the d2 devices could use with no issues and no mods needed because of the lack of difference between the devices), mainly just radio and bootloader differences, but the bootloader differences didn't matter other than the d2 devices with locked bootloader, which, they couldn't use any of the recoveries or ROMs anyway.

If there are numbers of people interested in the device, that is where you need to be trying to work together to get something in the works.

[General Questions and Answers] MotoDefier:
I have a new question, is there anyway to track how an app changes system files? For instance it's pretty common knowledge that rooting would add the su binary and busy box to sbin, xbin, bin or all three but is there a way to find out when you install an app that changes system files or adds to the system what's being changed/added? With either a tool or app?
[General Questions and Answers] theimpulson:
I guess what you want to look at is log. You can always track what is being done by what from logs. You can either use adb or some app which offers to view logs of device.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, you can see what files are added/modified, but not in a manner that will tell you exactly what was changed, only that a change was made and where. In other words, you can see which pre-existing file was changed, but not "necessarily" the exact changes made to the file.

If you want to know which files are modified/added and exactly what is modified in each file/folder, you could always try decompiling the apps that you intend to install and take a look at what is in the files in the apk, then look to see where each file gets installed to by looking at the script that runs the install and then compare that to what is already on the device, any differences should show themselves, you'd have to be thorough though.
[General Questions and Answers] MotoDefier:
So nothing to the extent of something like revo uninstaller for windows that has install-aware where it will report back a file tree of what got placed where, and what changes are made. I figured that would be the case but wanted to check. I guess I could dump the file system in its desired state and save it on a network drive, then write a script to run a checksum on the current state and desired state and return a log of what files don't hash out and narrow it down that way.

Yeah I mean I can definitely dump the log to a text file and use <long> to clean it up a little, I was just hoping for a something a little more straightforward like a file tree that shows new, edited, or deleted files in comparison to what was there to begin with.
