Hello,

The connector for cellular antenna has broken of my phone's motherboard.

Could I just solder the wire onto metal pads that held that connector ? Is it ok to have contact on all those pads (4) that were under the connector or are they meant to be divided ?

This is the picture of the metal pads where connector was soldered on.

This has been a recognized issue for a couple months now. Google announced on 10-Feb that they were rolling out a fix server-side (i.e. not a system update or app update) that should be reached globally within a week. Since then, however, there has not been one single report of consistent Gmail/Inbox notifications. It's gotten quite ridiculous.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexluthor:
Did some more testing and found what's causing me the issue, but it's very strange.

I cleared data and cache in gmail and started fresh. Everything works fine. As soon as I change days to sync globally to more than the default 60 or if I got into manage labels and change the inbox specific sync to ALL (which is what I want, I only have about 70 messages in there), gmail stops syncing completely. If i go into accounts->gmail, the last sync time never updates again after I change the days to sync in gmail.

Anyone else want to test this?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:
My sync is only 30 days but I still have the problem
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexluthor:
If I change to to something else and then back to 30, it doesn't fix it. Have you cleared gmail data and cache and confirmed it doesn't sync without touching any gmail settings?

I recommend restoring full phone in samsung kies then try rooting or whatever else you want too do from there so youve got a fresh start.

https://youtu.be/LqoX7wNhotk

Rootjunkys thread has this and other info that will help you out.

Samsung switch or kies it is, select firmware recovery, enter model an s/n which is on the back in really small letters along with your imei no:

I used this on my bricked g920f and it worked. Restores full system to default and latest available firmware. 5.1.1 upto last week when i did mine. 5.1.1 is also fully rootable after restore with odin,TWRP,SuperSU.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reufjaha:
Tried kies already, pass 100% and after that i have more one step, stay at 0 all the time, i want to try this with otg but i have no idea which custom room to take and how to do it , knox counter is 0x1 so it means device is already rooted ?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androrooter:
so does the phone work?

firmware recovery will restore everything on phone and even rooted methods. it will be original as if out of box.

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

yes there has been modification if knox is tripped (0x1) firmware restore will return it too 0x0 untripped.

Nothing doesnt work, i tried room by frankowski but phone can't pass boot logo, we tried everything i think , unikernel, bootloader, modem etc.... i think this phone is dead :(

When i try with stock cogs are rotating forever

and nothing happened
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androrooter:
Ok. Do a full factory restore/firmware recovery it should work rather than messing with custom tools.

It needs restoring before you go any further.

But while its on the cogs Try holding all buttons on the phone together to do a full reboot it may just boot up mine does it but on Samsung splash screen.

(Power, home, volume up + down)

[Galaxy Tab S2 General] androidfandom:
Hey guys I was hoping for some help. I own a Note 5 but for school I was hoping for something smallish for textbooks. I was reading that the actual screen size of the 8.0 was actually just 6.5 by 5 inches﻿. Is that accurate? If so would you say that the difference for reading textbooks would be almost redundant size wise between the note 5 and galaxy tab s2 8.0 screen?
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ivanox1972:
Screen is nearly twice big compare to 5.7 [I have also note 4]. Reading is different taste than on phone. It is enough. I have lte tab 8.0 and it can be used as phone. All apps are as s6 (phone messages ), it has proximity to switch of screen during calls and voiuce quality is good. I can take it with 1 hand and put on ear. It is strange but not inconvenient for my opinion...
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] calinormy:
I do own note 5 and t715 tab s2 lte. If you wanna read a lot, buy the tablet. It's 8.4 inch - the screen, it's 4/3 aspect ratio, beautifull amoled screen. It's a note 4 packed as a tablet. It's slim and confortable to hold.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] HiredGUN.45:
I just picked up a Tab S2 SM-T715Y and using a Tmobile sim and it's been great. Your measurements are very close, with my tape measure I got: 6.5" x 4 7/8" for the actual viewable screen area. My cellphone is a Note Edge which I really like but when it comes to reading books, watching videos, or looking at pics the larger screen of the Tab S2 comes in handy.

Hope this helps.

[XDA Assist] jvinculum:
This has been asked numerous times and so far I haven't been able to find a decent response.

I made a post on reddit with more details and a screenshot: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQue...stantly_downloading_6kbs_only_when_connected/

I've narrowed the culprit down to Google Bookmarks Sync / Google Play Services / Google Services Framework / Google Account Manager / Google Backup Transport. One or more of these packages (which share the same UID, so I can't tell which exactly) is ALWAYS downloading data, about 6 kilobits per second when connected to WiFi. When I'm only connected to 3G, there is zero unexpected network traffic.

Please direct me to an appropriate thread or provide any insight you may have.

I want to eliminate this unnecessary traffic, but I'd also like to know what this data is. Finally, on a somewhat related note, I'd like to know why Instagram and Facebook Messenger are also sending data at regular intervals, what that data is, and how to stop it.

Thank you very much

Hi guys,

alright, so this should be a pretty "standard" question,

but I'm still having issues to solve it:

I'm getting errors like the following:

The thing is:

I've removed the exfat driver from the kernel source !

So how and why is it still being loaded - where is it stored above all ?

And how to

force update

it ?

This is sort of like a Gentoo user (which I am) figuring out why the modules that are included in a packaged up blob are re-occuring :confused:

Hope you guys can help me out with this one since this is massively hindering kernel development and evaluation what

commits

work best for our device (performance, stability, battery runtime, etc.) :(

take a look at the following branch:

https://github.com/zachariasmaladro.../commits/32.0.A.6.200_AP_Sun-Kernel_v6-stable

the 5 last comments before the newest (or only the sched/fair, scheduler related) commits had to be reverted before WIFI and other components started to work again !

The Kernel and its driver are built from friggin' source !

How is that possible ?

is the ROM using proprietary kernel modules (including WIFI, I thought bcmdhd was supposed to get opensourced meanwhile) and those depend on certain symbols ?

Blasted ! :/
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gub1:
Basically what happened, was on Friday, my phone got stuck in a boot loop. It would get to the "Optimizing Apps" screen and shut off again. Other people may just get to the Verizon screen, or even just the LG screen. I looked it up and found that it was a major issue affecting many people, so I just filed for a warranty and received my new phone today. Well, on Saturday night LinusTechTips, a popular tech YouTube channel(You should really check them out, they are great), released a video on how they fixed a dead Graphics Card and PCI-E SSD by heating them up past the melting point of solder and then testing them. For them, it only worked on the GPU. As I was packing up my seemingly dead phone to ship back to LG TODAY, i decided to give it one more shot. I disassembled the device to the point where I could take out the logic board. I took the logic board and wrapped it in one layer of parchment paper and two layers of tinfoil, shiny side facing in(FYI tinfoil has two sides, shiny and matte). I then placed this package into a barbecue. I turned on the left and middle burners and left the package with my logic board inside on the right side to the grill so it wasn't receiving direct heat. After 10 minutes, I took it out, re-assembled my phone and it booted. I was able to get all of my pictures off of it. This has only been confirmed to work on my phone, but seeing as this SAME issue is affecting thousands of people, It's definitely worth a shot. If you are going to use an oven, PLEASE, make sure it's above 385 degrees Fahrenheit and that you don't plan on using that oven for food ever again, this may release some toxic chemicals etc. I plan on using my grill again, so I just made sure to leave the grill open for 24 hours and I'm going to clean it before I use it next. If you have any questions let me know!

P.S. My LG G4 was the Verizon model.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
I highly recommend doing this ONLY if you have no other option. Remember that heating a logic board to high temperatures can release toxic fumes. Don't use an oven you use for food preparation! Toxic fumes can leave residue in the oven and will be re-released upon reheating over many cycles!

Assuming LG's press release regarding the issue is correct and it is really a loose contact, this "fix" could actually work. Of course, only if the loose connection is a soldered connection. Though, it's controversial. You have to remember that the melting point for SMD solder is around ~350°C, or 662°F. So 358°F, or 181°C, is not nearly enough to actually re-solder a loose connection. My guess is that the loose solder point is only expanding due to the heat. There is no real reconnect. It might only be a matter of time until it also breaks. If you could locate the actual loose connection you could really re-solder it and have it fixed permanently.

I've done this on many many devices, including graphics cards, smartphone logic boards, PC mainboards etc. It only works if a soldered connection has a crack small enough that heat expansion is enough to gain reconnection. If there is a loose contact on the PCB or the "crack" in the solder is too big, it does not work. Also, if you really have a dead chip, this trick also won't (always) work.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imcass:

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silverdace:
I fixed mine temporarily by heating up the emmc chip using solder hot air gun. It seems to be just the emmc chips connection.

Failed again after a fortnight when the phone got too hot. The connection seems to break when the g4 gets hot.

One option to try is to boot the phone inside a freezer. I found that worked too.

Pretty poor quality control on lg's part.

I'm going to try again and see if I can fix permanently.

Worked for me too

I have a LG G4 H815 with serial number starting with 507. It died yesterday night. The bootloop escalated quickly to full death. Even the freezer trick did not work.

I followed the OP instructions. I heated up the grill to ~250 degrees Celsius and cooked the motherboard for 10 minutes.

Magically the phone has been working for a couple of hours since and I have been able to backup files to the external SC card.

I wonder how much more will it work.

Thank you for help OP!!!

Word of advice to other LG G4 users. Backup your phone regularly. Use an external SD card. Set the camera to save images and videos to the SD card. At least at doom day you will have them saved.
