[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] maaxx10:
Hey y'all,

Thanks for taking out the time to help me :)

So, thanks to a friend, I got a beta release of WM flashed on my Hermes a few months ago. I didn't realize that it was a time-limited beta, and I can't use my device anymore.

Current Status --

1. ActiveSync can't connect to the device, so can't use RUU directly.

2. Similarly, I can't use the CID unlock utility, because it requires an AS connection

3. I can access the BL and connect to it from mtty. I see the USB> prompt.

4. Dump of the BL tri-color screen --

HERM200

IPL-1.00

SPL-1.10

5. Dump of "task 32" command in mtty

Level = FF (i.e. CID locked)

Hence, I can't flash BL 1.01 MPG and install an OS. (nor can I install CID unlocker, see #2 above)

6. Dump of "info 7" command in mtty

HTC Integrated Re-Flash Utility, Common Base Version : 1.50a S024

Device Name: H, Bootloader Version : 1.10

.....

Question --

I want to get a working OS on the device. (With that, AS should connect and I will be able to CID unlock the device.) Any ideas?

Hey, in this tutorial I'll tell you how to unbrick hard-bricked Tab 3.

So, if you have message that you must repair your Tab 3 in Samsung Kies, and you can't recover it (you have corrupted system and have no recovery), first thing that you must do is to download Odin here: http://odindownload.com/ and TWRP recovery (make sure that you downloaded the version for your tablet): version for model P5200 - https://goo.gl/mzY5kV and for model P5210 - https://goo.gl/mcxy3E. Then download stock ROM from sammobile.com. WARNING! Never flash ROM on the tablet in such a state. When you do this, you'll see FAILED message in Odin and you won't repair anything. Then you must turn off tablet and boot into download mode (hold power+volume down+home). Then connect your tablet to the computer and open Odin with administrator rights. Now you gonna to click AP button and locate and open twrp file (with .md5 extension) and when it is loaded click Start button. When recovery is flashed, plug off the cable and then you must turn off your tablet and boot into recovery mode (hold power+volume up+home). Now you must click Wipe>Advanced Wipe and mark everything (without USB-OTG and SD Card) and click button Wipe. After wiping, you must click Reboot and Download. You'll be in download mode and make sure that there isn't any text in the upper left corner. When there isn't anything then this means that you haven't anything on your tablet. Now you must open Odin again and plug the cable in. Then click AP button and locate and open your ROM. Now you must click Start and wait. When the ROM is flashed, the tablet should restart automatically. Then unplug the cable and wait for the tablet to boot. After few minutes, you should see the welcome message. When you see it, it means that tablet is working and the repair is completed.

I hope that this tutorial helped you :D

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Castaway78:
Hi all -

Has anyone else experienced this?

For some reason, my Gmail notifications come in at full volume, despite the fact that I have my Notifications volume turned down. All my other notifications appear to be fairly quiet, as per the volume setting.

At first, I thought it might be Gmail using a different audio path (such as Ringtone). So I turned those down as well. Still came through full volume.

I'm using the same sound file from my S6, which is normal volume, so I know it's not a loud file.

Any thoughts on what else I could check?

Thanks!

If you look at them carefully, the screen assembly and the middle frame of I9500 and I9505 are not exactly the same. I9505 motherboard may be unable to fit in these components that you have for I9500.

If you really want to change it, take it as your own risk.

[Xiaomi Mi 4i] Djuganight:
Hi Guys,

As I'm sure you are aware there is an issue with the camera that affect some batches of Mi 4i phones.

This issue result in out of focus photos.

The phones work weel up to rom version 6.5.6.0 and from then onwards you get the issue, which means there was some in the rom development the conflicts with the phone hardware.

Xiaomi does not care less for for us as they are pure money driven, therefore I wonder if there are any devs willing to find a solution for this issue.

Meantime, me and many are stuck with firmwares up to June/2015.

With custom roms, or 3rd party firmwares, the camera works flawless, although the quality from photos and videos are miles away from the quality of a MIUI rom. This issue is only noticeable when using MIUI firmwares.

Hope someone can contribute for trying to solve this completly negleted and ignored situation by Xiaomi.

I can test if you need.

Thanks

Have you given a try to SnapDragon Camera?

Brightness Tweak allows you to reduce your screen brightness below the android specified minimum.
​

Android places certain limitations on screen brightness not allowing you to reduce your screen brightness to the minimum level. This app will allow you to reduce your brightness to the minimum as soon as it detects that the brightness has hit the brightness limit.

On a device I tested, I found the following,

System Minimum (Normal Mode) : 7

System Minimum (Power Saver Mode - Lollipop) : 3

This app will allow you to reduce your screen brightness to 1.

If you are using CM12+ based ROM (May 20 or newer builds) the app will use the CM Tile which you can use to enable or disable the service. On all other devices a notification will be displayed allowing you to do the same. I made this app because the system's minimum brightness was still bright for me and would strain my eyes in a dark room.

Features

Relies on the system informing the app about brightness rather than polling.

Utilizes CM's Tile API. So no clutter in your notification drawer if you use CM

Limitations and Known Issues

If you have set a minimum brightness below the system specified limit, there will be a delay of 1 second or so to apply the brightness after you switch on the screen. This is a limitation and nothing can be done about it as of now.

The app may slow down the entire system if root permissions were not granted in a few seconds. if this happens just swipe away the app from the recents menu. The brightness service is not affected by this and will continue to run.

I'm using official wm6 SPA HTC rom.

I just have Vodafone Real Mail (Visto Push email solution for WM) on startup and I've got 19MB free RAM.

If I recall correctly, without Real Mail I had 22-23MB free.

After some everyday use, memory resources go really low, and even using WM_HIBERNATE (oxios or celetask), I won't get those 19MB back...
[HTC Excalibur] quiksand:
I have about 19MB free after startup. You should begin to worry after you open PIE. That memory hog sometimes uses upwards of 10MB of memory.

Check your startup folder. Preinstalled programs and process will run even if you don't have any apps installed (onces installed yourself).
[HTC Excalibur] crawldit:
On a fresh restart I'm at a little over 13mb. If I use PIE or TCPMP then I'm down to 2-3mb in a hurry. I usually have to reboot at least once a day. Even if I kill everthing in Taskmanager and use SKTools to free memory I can't get back up past 8mb or so. Memory and battery life are the two things that I dislike about my Dash.
[HTC Excalibur] JAmerican:
Installing the Office Update game me more RAM! Office seems to run faster as well. I usually have like 20MB on boot when I had like 16MB on boot before. Really nice up. Now we just need to cook some efficient ROMs!

I haven't seen this Moko case mentioned here. I bought it well in advance of launch just so I would have something when my device was delivered. I had low expectations and was just hoping for something to holdover until I got a UAG or another high quality case. But let me tell you, I feel that I really got lucky as this is a great case. The fit is amazing, it adds tremendous grip and seems sturdy enough to provide some drop protection as well. It is very clear and shows off my silver phone beautifully. I would definitely recommend this case. If any complaint it would be the volume and power buttons protrude a little too much in my opinion. I would still rate yhe case a solid 8+ out of 10.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eltigre78232:
My initial issue with the LG G4 Boot Loop problem is I got data in my phone I need and don't want it erase/reset. So in reading other forums, I read that some people have been able to get the phone to turn on for as long as 10 minutes if they put the phone in the freezer for 20 minutes. Has anyone tried this?

LG states that this is a hardware issue. Something to do with a loose connector. Does anyone know exactly where in the motherboard this connector is located? I have a friend who has worked on cell phone motherboards and would like to be able to tell him where this may be. I am not worried if it invalidates the warranty anymore. The data is too important to lose. Does anyone know where this connector problem is?

Thank you from Texas!

Hi,

After receiving the MM update, I noticed a bit of lag to screen scrolling and when using certain apps. You can almost see a slight pause as things move around the screen. In my attempt to start fresh, I performed a factory reset. Unfortunately, the reset hasn't appeared to correct the problem. I'm not sure if there is a setting somewhere that is biting me or if there is a bigger problem. I've also attempted to wipe the cache, but that hasn't improved things either.

Now the phone just feels sluggish at times. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Since there is no root on mm i guess at this time ure options are kinda limited. Try developer options and like before previous versions of android try shutting off all the animation scales at least turning them down helps provide a snappier expierence. Closer to the bottom of dev options there should be 3 settings next to each other i turn mine off
[Verizon LG G4] btvranger:
The update is a disaster. Keyboard lag makes the phone borderline unusable. Knowing any update has to go through LG amnd VZW before patching again, makes me want to deal with non-removable battery on Nexus next time. Those devices never lag.
[Verizon LG G4] leroybrute:
Not only keyboard lag, lag in app loading, auto rotation is slow and at times doesn't work, pages in Chrome load slow, erratic battery life.

I don't know if this is Verizon or marshmallow that has caused all the issues with this update but I believe this is one of the worst update's I have received on any phone.

A huge disappointment in my opinion!

Edit: 25a update last night resolved most all my issues and most likely others. I don't know about battery life yet, but I am pleased that this update came as quick as it did.!!
[Verizon LG G4] rlewis19:
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one experiencing these symptoms. I'm not a power user but the phone is doing some very strange things since this update. I'm finding more and more that apps are stopping unexpectedly. Most recently was the google sync process. I'm very tempted to take the phone to a Verizon store and see if a brand new phone has MM on it and if it is having the same problems. If the new phone doesn't have MM, I may try to get them to swap it out.
