I use a Umidigi smartphone which uses a type c cable. The cable that came with it was working fast. It charges from 0% to 100% in 2 hours. But all of a sudden, there was a cut on the cable and the wires touched(I think the term is short-circuited), and I had to discard the cable.

But ever since then, my phone charge really slow. Even when I switch it off, it takes like 10 hours for it to become full from 0%. I tried over three tested quality cables but it's still the same thing. My charger adapter is not the problem as I used it on other people's phone and it was charging the phones well.

Also, when my phone is now plugged in and it's off, if I want to switch it on, it might take about 10 seconds before it display anything at all. It even discharges whenever my mobile data and my screen are on when plugged in.

Moreso, the cords no longer transfer files from computer to my phone anymore. The battery is inbuilt and I can't even open the phone's casing. I don't know what to do again. Pls help.

Hi everybody !

I just received my Qin 1S+ (Xiaomi FeaturePhone) yesterday and I have a little problem... I switched it off this morning for a reboot and... I can't power it on.

no reaction, when I press the power button or when I plug any cable.

does anyone has a solution ? (It's my main phone right now so I'm a bit in trouble lmao)

oh yeah I forgot battery is full to 60%

thanks a lot !

Edit: after the 5th charger, he woke up from nowhere...

[General Questions and Answers] OmarxLM:
Hello, I have a problem that I have not been able to identify the cause, in my terminal.

You see, it happens to me that every time I use mobile data from the SIM card or simply by removing the airplane mode.

What happens is that my device begins to connect and disconnect from the network (including mobile and call data) and then it reconnects again. But it is very annoying!

If I don't have the airplane mode activated, it does the same with the Wi-Fi connection. It connects and disconnects it. And rarely with Bluetooth.

The way I get around it is by using the phone in airplane mode all the time. But that means that I cannot make or receive calls and that I cannot spend my data.

[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
I have a Galaxy s4 it's bootloader unlocked and all that really good stuff. I am wondering if there is a way I can literally repartition an SD card and steal some of it storage to use as internal. And I don't mean using the Android formatting tool, I mean actually stealing a piece of storage from an external SD card and repartitioning it directly as part of the existing internal. If I have to do the entire 32 gigs of SD card so be it. I realized that if this is even possible I'll probably destroy the SD card if it were ever removed. I've installed parted and I'm looking over those options. But is there even a way I can do this? Maybe even mount the SD card as a loop device somehow?
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
One of my previous phones came out with KitKat, and the last ROM I built from source was Oreo (ie 8). Unless you know something specific regarding his specific device, I would assume it is possible.

My first phone was a very low spec device, that only had 512MB internal memory. I used a boot script that swaped the internal data partition with a 3GB partition on an external 64GB SD Card.T he thing to remember, this was running an older version of android )GB & ICS & KK), so it may not work on newer versions of android. Attached is the boot script I *think* I used; it was nmy first device and >10 years ago. I couldn't find the script, but here is a google search that may have the links. The better way is by modifying the actual builds boot process )probabl;y FSTAB). I used it until it actually became integrated as part of custom ROMs, instead of as a tack-on boot script. But it worked for me, until they started doing it as part of the custom ROMs.

Hi, thanks for your input. The original FW was "locked" to an operator and could not do anything about the APNs. So I tried flashing the "XTC" FW since it was the open line version. Same thing, APN still cannot be reset, and keeps popping up the default APNs for Globe. Weird thing is, when I insert globe and another sim in slot 2, it still goes back to 2G for the other network, even if the phone already is unlocked using an unlock code

Hey, does anyone know how to transfer APPS from internal to SD Card on Huawei Y5 2015

It's Android 9 (GMUI 9.1.0), don't tell me the usual stuff, nothing works, and there's no proper tutorial online for this phone
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
When you say "don't tell me the usual stuff" how we know if you and us think the same as "usual stuff"?.

In too many years here we did see the most unusual errors in android stuff.

it's better say what exactly you did try and then we could add something that you could be missing (in case someone knows it).
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
There is something strange here, I don`t know if you by your own did assume that or someone else did tell you like the technician (maybe?)

The original firmware contains some codes in a partition that can`t be erased/corrupted when is attached to a specific carrier but when that carrier decides to free it up then the firmware itself doesn`t need to be changed, otherwise all the users, in this case a normal user would need some knowledge/skills to android and flashing stuff, this codes/values remain null in order that the device can be used in any other carrier, this means that automatically you should put any SIM card from your preferred carrier and you should be ready to go.

Usually by placing a new SIM card from other carrier then it does all the stuff automatically. Some times you should need reset some APNs just to improve the signal.

When a device is freed-up then all the apps services carrier are still there including boot splash or bootanimation, it`s annoying but don`t interfere with the cellular signals at all, this is the main reason why

If a device is sold in the same region/area/country where the old carrier worked users change the firmware; to get rid of all carrier "bloatware" stuff but when is sold to other country then the CSC plays a more important role and then user may be consider changing the firmware.

I just doubting if the person that put the unlock codes did a good work and if they were an authorized service or if device has compatibility with certain frequencies in certain areas.

Did you consider asking Globe regarding this issue?
[General Questions and Answers] biggs386:
Hello Champ, thanks for finding time to reply.

I was the one who inputted the unlock code, it was successful since when I inserted a sim of a different carrier, I can confirm network unlock, but cannot change the APN settings (message was "APN Settings Not Available for the Current User". That's why I opted to change the GLB FW to XTC FW, but the same issue occurs. This is where I'm stuck right now
[General Questions and Answers] Crrrr:
Thaks a lot!
[General Questions and Answers] Srijanlk:
Oo

, Ok but i was wondering , the bootloader might be a piece of code , right .

The mi unlock just contacts the bootloader or any other piece of software in phone and tell it that this device now needs to be unlocked and then alters the bootloader code to unlocked state.

i wanted to know about the place where the bootloader code is stored on Android.

like we can instantly unlock bloader of other devices like oneplus or samsung just by fastboot commands or recovery. But in Xiaomi this is locked , and can only be dont through mi unlocked thats the thing.

i believe the process of unlocking might still be same just its masked so that we cant unlock using simple fastboot commands .

i wondered if we can alter those codes, but i believe its hard to Impossible to do thatv, but first i would need to know where the bootloader is located.

secondly if we can alter the codes then we can also might be able to flash phone through edl mode without authorisation account !

btw- thanks for the reply 🤗
[General Questions and Answers] Srijanlk:
Okay,. I guess then that nobody really knows where the bootloader code is really is in which partition.

You r correct though ,. That bootloader can't be hacked easily,. But edl and unlock are two things that i guess is basic to an android platform , but its just somehow masked by something by xiaomi to hard to access , with native fastboot commands or other softwares. I just want to remove that mask

😂😂 I know saying "i just want to remove that mask" seems funny and seems undoable , but i wanted to try for myself.

Btw- thanks a lot mate for the reply 😇
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
OK, now is more clear. Just in case you didn't see it https://www.unlockboot.com/apn-settings-not-available-current-user-profile/

If nothing solve the issue now that you decided to flash a new firmware I would recommend that you follow these steps:

- Pull out your SDcard.

- Go to recovery mode and wipe caches, format data (this will erase all your data)

- Then go to Odin and flash the firmware using the CSC file different than the CSC_HOME (this will delete your APNs)
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I think you are not catching the essence of how this thing works, your question is redundant in the part when you say where is the bootloader placed; the answer is pretty logical; bootloader is placed in the bootloader partition and can`t be placed in a different place, bootloader as the name suggest is where device starts for first time checking the integrity of the other parts to authorize the android initialization.

Like I said you previously in the old days this piece of software came locked by default, then an user did unlock it and then they simple share its own piece of software with other, this was absurd but it worked for some models, after that Google began to force more and more to OEMs to improve vulnerability issues and of course Xiaomi improved to the next level although that the codes could be decipher so they remained in some parts of the PC following the path where the log of the unlock process were stored, I managed to short the wait time just by changing the left hours with a simple Notepad++, of course this also was ridiculous and Xiaomi adopted new methods, actually bootloader nor any other piece of hardware contains codes at all, this are stored online in the Xiaomi servers, any process to unlock bootloader relies exclusively in first IMEI and in the Mi account..

It's not that the others brand can be unlocked cause simple fastboot commands can do it per se BUT the OEMs itself put previously how they have to work ie. OnePlus allow that simple commands can unlock device and also this happens in Android One editions from any brand including Xiaomi.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If there is not a single custom ROM as it looks it's the case with your model then you should search how to flash a GSI, your device must have treble capabilities.
[General Questions and Answers] biggs386:
Hi Champ, thanks for the time you take in answering again. Seems all I missed was a single step. everything is ok but when I checked the settings>software information, service provider was GLB/GLB GLB/GLB. What I did next was just used the 272+IMEI to change it to XTC and it's now accepting APN changing.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Fast charging in EX for Ginkgo worked in A10 (now deprecated), I don't know if face unlock too so I'm not a fan of this method. If you refer to the A11 version in the last page users refer that QC is working according some variants ie. Chinese based devices or custom kernels that can provide this feature, you should be best targeted asking in the same thread where the ROM is published, I don't know if someone else uses/owned Ginkgo/Willow here.

It's clearly obvious that I unticked the Preloader option.

Found this on Hovatek forums:

Meaning: The device likely has a locked / encrypted preloader

Solution:

Untick preloader when flashing in Sp flash tool

Can someone please tell what to do...?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
It's not a limitation device dependent but Android restrictions, in the "easy" way you can't move an app to an external SD Card as it is, you firstly have to format it as internal storage, then you could move some of them, not all apps are eligible and not all apps are convenient to do so.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Are you sure that the firmware is for your device? And if it is the same or a superior version that the current?

There's not any problem to use preloader.bin in the flash sequence as it warned in this site unless your device is actually bricked.

If it is the same firmware version would be useless but a factory reset would be enough.

Other thing; when you flash the firmware you have to choose Download + Firmware upgrade to reset every partition that is flashed.

Recently installed LineageOS 18.1 on my Moto Z3 Play. Almost everything works fine, except for the video recording and the microphone. I've tried many different camera apps, and sometimes they'll work perfectly, but most of the time, either there's no audio, the audio is out of sync with the video, or it just doesn't even start recording the video.

GCam doesn't even boot on my phone, and the GCam mods I've tried will sometimes record the video perfectly, but most of the time, will give me an error that says "Part of last video may not have saved." Same thing with the Moto Camera. Footej Camera 2 will work about 50% of the time, but sometimes I get the audio out of sync with the video problem.

I also can't send audio messages on WhatsApp, because over half the time, they'll record only half of what I say.

I thought maybe this problem had to do with me installing EdXposed, but I uninstalled it and this problem is still happening. I've got Magisk installed too. Not sure if that could cause the problem, but I guess it's worth mentioning. The phone is rooted too.

Do I have to run SP flash tools as administrator...?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Yes, always is recommendable run it as admin, also you have to avoid all the spaces in the path directory to your firmware anyway to avoid some bad connection you also can move the folder where the firmware is to the same directory where SPFlash tool is located and finally try switching to other/s version of the tool.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
The porting guide for non A/B devices might work the same way to porting it to A/B devices always that you take as base a TWRP that already was built/ported for an A/B device.

Take note of the specs of your device mainly the processor and search for devices with same processor to finally search TWRP/s already ported for some/those devices and use it/them as base. This way theoretically you shouldn´t need to add some additional flags.
