How do I bypass Android Phone Verification on a Legally Purchased phone.

Was given some newly changed PW info, which was changed today.

The login info is correct, but It keeps taking me back to that same screen.

What can I do?

[ZTE Axon Pro] nikunj87:
Hi Guys, I am from UK and tempted to buy Axon elite.

Given your experience with the phone, would you suggest buying this phone? I have read about terrible call and music output, can someone confirm, if this is still true - i.e. software/hardware issue. How about the camera? The specs are confusing where somewhere it is mentioned 8mp interpolated to 13 MP, whereas some places it has been mentioned as 13 mp. Same with front cam as well. Any feedback, please. The specs look good, but the issues mentioned, coupled with lack of customer support and custom roms make me ask this question.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Josh,

I will receive ZTE Axon Axon in 2-3 days. I got an irresistible deal - $300

I totally hate ZTE's skin on Axon Elite. It is not fair that Axon and Axon pro have near stock android UI and Elite has that stupid skin that not many people want. At least ZTE should provide and option of going back to Stock UI.

Anyways, is there a theme manager in the Axon Elite that can be used to change the UI/looks of the phone? I know Nova and other launcher can help a bit, but not the notification bar, pulldown and settings etc.

Thank you and I am glad that you like your ZTE Axon Mini.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] was.once.dead:
Hello there.

I have been having the 'stupidly set baseband to USA and unable to change back' issue with my Nexus 5x, using a European version. I live in Croatia, so as you would imagine this has meant a complete loss of signal/mobile operator/3g etc.

As per my other thread in Nexus 5x help and troubleshooting,

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/help/usa-baseband-set-european-model-t3252879

I have exhausted other options and have come to the realisation that as per other users issues with other phones that the use of QPST tools and using a clean QCN file to inject into my phone is the only course of action left. However, I have no knowledge of such things (not to say that I am unable to inform myself).

I emailed a developer with regards to users issues with Nexus 5 phones (not 5x), and he said that I need to enter this mode on my phone.

Could anyone help me out with this, and in general with this issue? As some have tried to help but unfortunately my thread has more of my own replies than other users. (In elaborating on steps taken to resolve my misery).

I am not looking for a 'one button fix', I have educated myself far and beyond with regards to this issue, I just need some more expert help so that I can sort this out myself.

Please, anyone?

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Automator:
glad you got your probelm fixed dont know if this will help you or others but if you press *#*#4636#*#* your phone will enter a radio diagnostics tool where you can set your preferred network type and also select your radio baseband by using the 3 dots at the top. For my 5X i can select USA BAnd or Band mode 6, Band mode 7.

sorry if this is OT and not related to your issue.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] was.once.dead:
Thank you for your input. However my phone does not have those options. Only USA band, which led to this week long stress for me. Im going to be able to get a replacement device in the end, so im happy about that, but this issue is unfortunately somewhat of a one way street wherin the usual simple solutions or even more complex adb, fastboot, etc etc things do not bring about any resolutions.

Again, thanks for trying to help but its a phone to phone kind of thing.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Best advice I can give. Don't mess with the basebands
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clivemckracken:
Best advice ever...

But.... If you are really hot on getting the 5x into diagnostic mode to run QPST, QXDM, etc., do this. (I did this on my 5x to obtain the QCN file to check out the NV and EFS items, grab QXDM logs, etc.)

1. Use Heisenberg's most excellent step-by-step tutorial on unlocking the boot loader, rooting the phone, and installing super user apk.

2. Once rooted, connect the phone to a PC and open up adb, then issue the adb shell command.

3. Once in adb shell, type: su -c 'setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb'

4. At this point, you should see a pop up on the phone to authorize super user access. Click to allow access.

5. Now you will probably have to load a driver on the computer for diag access. I got lucky (since I have a mess of drivers on my computer) and the driver loaded automatically. As I recall, my computer selected qcusbser.sys. Seems to be a pretty generic QCOM driver vs. an LG specific driver.

6. You now have diag access. You will have to run steps 2 - 3 after each phone reboot. In other words, these steps aren't "sticky" between reboots.

7. ????

8. Profit

I did this and it worked for me.

Hi,

I'm outside the UK. Using a smart VPN service, will apps like iPlayer, all4 etc show up or are Amazon too clever for that? Does anyone have any experience using the fire stick outside UK/US. Set up should be nor problem, I'm fairly technical.

Background: I already have a smart VPN service and have an new Android TV (Sony). The issue is that on the TV, apps like BBC iplayer don't show up - I have sideloaded the normal one but have to use a mouse.

Many thanks

If you have an amazon account set to the region you want the apps from you'll be fine, I recently purchased a fire tv, for us over here in Korea and I used my UK account to download the UK apps I wanted, such as iPlayer, ITV Hub etc and then online I switched my UK account to US region setting, pretty easy to do, you don't need a VPN to download the apps, only when using them to watch content on. Hope this helps.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ash.VIII:
Hello,

I have been using XZ for two years now with no problems and started flashing about a year ago.

Now, my first problem came when I wanted to connect my phone with a bluetooth headset. It works fine until I turned off the screen and placed it into my pocket. After investigating the possible issues, it seems to come from the proximity sensor.

First tried to install another ROM, as maybe the error came from there but it was to no use.

Then I tried dialing *#*#757....... the sensor will be off, if I block it, it will say on, but when I unblock it it stilll says "on".

So I went to try to turn off the proximity sensor completely, as every apk i tried didn't fix the error.

The other fix I found was an Xposed framework.

I followed the instructions of installing ExistenZ_Y but when I tried to flash the ROM it said "can't mount /system" and had to go through recovery to flash a stock ROM. The problem is that even now, when I enter TWRP and try to flash the xposed-v78-sdk22-arm it still says it can't mount the system. I tried going to the terminal and typing "mount -o rw,remount /system" but to no avail, it won't mount the system as rw.

So here I come, after searching every thread I could find, to know if someone could help me in any way.

Many thanks in advance

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyramid Head:
Dont know man, are you sure you entered the command exactly as i wrote?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ash.VIII:
That is also the only way I found. The easiest way is to go through adb. You go 'adb pull /system/build.prop' modify it on your computer then go 'adb push build.prop /system/'. It worked for me. It didn't solve every problem but sure did help a lot!

If that does not work, maybe it isn't your proximity sensor? I know there are apps that can "write" the info that your proximity sensor info is either 0 or 1 (or in between), but that didn't work for me, maybe with you it will

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kojata:
Most probably a software problem. If it's not holding enough charge it will not boot at some time. By boot loops do yo mean trying to boot and then reboot or not booting at all after some time and just flashing red led? Explain what is the exact behavior of the phone. Flash .207 firmware with flashtool and check if the problem still persist.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ancestrale:
this is how the problem goes:

Full charge: 100% working, if i take the phone under charge i can do quiete anything and i got no problems.

-after some hours (charge close 70%): the phone starts act slow, and some apps crash until the phone restart itself. this reboot never work until i put under charge, so this is the boot loop that i was talking about.

So: charge 70%--->restart---->bootloop---->charge reach green light--->work normally

you suggest me an original firmware to flahs ?

Yesterday I checked my available space to download something on the phone and realized that there is miscellaneous files that eats up my storage for no reason.

It was not there before and when I take total of them it does not reach 8.5gb, not a little bit.

What might be causing this? It is not bloat I believe. It was not that large on the first day of the phone.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcor:
hi,

If you tap on "miscellaneous files" it should open up another page with a brakedown of all you files thats make up the 8.5 Gb. In short if you look at the listed content you will see its overall your 3 rd party apps + some system apps, that you installed. etc etc

Lot of 3rd party apps keep various data etc for your relevant

apps to function properly.

eg.. a weather app might keep various themes in these files that enables you to tweak that app with various combo of themes. Also in my breakdown i see my S Note has data in it that i saved. Deleting this file would cause me to loose my S Note data..! (So be careful. )

I you check the listed breakdown you can decide if you want to delete it, but be careful.!

Deleting some files, might cause that app to force close or not function. or loose data that you saved ( Eg Games data)

Lastly, the longer you have and use your device, the more data is added or installing new apps for this "miscellaneous files" to increase in size. Also sometimes when uninstalling an app, the relevant app data of that app, is not deleted and bloats your device !

You have to manage your device properly.

good luck
