Mine says "FPC102x" is it the same as "FP102x"?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] NSDCars5:
I'm not sure. I just checked, even my phone reports an FPC102x, but my fingerprint sensor works in CM13.

I think I was mistaken; looking around the CM thread, it seems the sensor detection in AIDA64 is inaccurate. See if you have a /data/goodix folder; if you do, that seems to indicate a Goodix sensor.

So I tried to change the ROM of my phone because the vendor's one had malware but it was worse, my phone is stuck at boot screen and can't do anything with it.

First I tried to install a ROM with TWRP, it installed but it was just a black screen, you could only see the battery status.

Then I tried to install the global ROM that is on the official xiaomi site but it didn't work and it locked my phone.

Now I can't use TWRP, please help me. I am desperate.

Miflash isn't detecting the phone, but the PC does cause it listed under Android Phone->Android ADB Interface on device manager.

You will need to flash a ROM using fastboot.

First install fastboot on your pc: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to...t-setup-75174/

Second Download a flashable Rom: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html (make sure to choose the right one)

Unzip the rom and navigate to the 'images' folder

Put the phone into Fastboot mode (volume down and power button together until fastboot appears)

Connect the phone to pc with USB

Shift Right click on a blank space in the folder and choose 'open command window here'

run the following commands. one at a time

fastboot devices

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash cache cache.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot reboot

[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] Benz83:
Hello guys, i have a redmi 3s china version, so i try to find global version, i installed all driver and try to use with miflash that:

land_global_images_V7.5.9.0.MALMIDE_20160805.0000.29_6.0_global_470b843c10.tgz

(if i use xiaomiflash i get error) meanwhile with miflash i see device and i flash it but something wrong , i restart the phone i stuck on the logo MI

I try also to download land_global_images_V7.5.4.0.MALMIDE_20160523.0000.23_6.0_global_dc5d804271.tar

seems is the right firmware

So i try again to flash in fastboot mode with miflash but i get error like i have no permission.

So i extract the whole firmware on a dir where there is ADB files , same problem...the device is locked

I try online the procedure with sms to unlock the bootloader ( i think is the only way, right?) or there are any other solution?

Maybe there is a stock rom to replace the original rom and put the global rom in another way?

Thanks in advanced

Bye

[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] Feriol:
After you run 'fastboot devices' is anything listed? Usually a string of numbers. If not then the computer isn't seeing your device.

Try rebooting the computer, and trying different USB leads and ports if possible and try again.

Using this method you don't have to use MiFlash, and is for when MiFlash doesn't work.

Once your phone is working again you can try again to install another ROM using traditional methods.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] Benz83:
Hello, i try the steps you give for EDL, after it the screen is not black but i see again the logo MI, i can go on fastboot mode but if i try to flash anykind of rom i get error "FAILED: remote: Critical partition flashing is not allowed)

other solution?

I think the only way is the unlock bootloader, but sincerally i dont know how it work. i did the steps online and the sim is on another device not xiaomi. I will get a sms from xiaomi with some kind of code? and after it how can use for bootloader?

There is another solution? I thinking....but why i cant use the original rom ?? always about the bootloader lock?

now i see another post ...use both volume to enter in download mode and on the miflash i saw port com 49, load a rom and start to flash it ...but....another error : The system can not find the file specified (0x80070002: Max buffer sector is 256)

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammaximus24:
I think this problem surfaced ever since i downloaded the beta update for Android 7 on my Nexus 6P device. My signal coverage and internet speed ( LTE/4G/3G) started fluctuating on its own and now the condition is so bad that i haven't found any signal connectivity for the network that i use even though other users of the same network in my area are having connectivity. I tried to insert that sim on another device and it worked just fine. I have taken every measure possible, restarting, doing factory reset, downgrading to Android 6 etc etc, i just wanna confirm if there is something else i could do or giving it to the service centre is the only option left?

I cant even tell if the SIM card slot is broken because the notification bar does not show me the error that the SIM is missing or whatever, it is reading that there is a SIM card there, i'm just not getting the connectivity...

Hi.

Looking for a way to disable RandomAccess so that the contacts app will not try to load it when running.

In a strange way, My TyTN can not run contacts and complains about RandomAccess for using too much of its memory, so I would like to begin checking it by disable RandomAccess.exe

Any ideas :confused:

[Mate 8 General] samaliset:
Hello and sorry if I am not in the right tropic,

I am about to order a Mate 8 from china with its Chinese Rom. But I am wondering if I'll be able to sync my Gear with.

I made a test with Wiko Fever and had no problem, all what needed is to down load the add-on to Samsung Gear Manager.

I too tried my Gear with the Model NXT L29 which did also sync with no issue.

Last point, if I get the phone wit the Chinese Rom, then I change the Rom to Global NXT L29 (if possible still to know), do you think that sync can be done?

Thanks for your helps
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Hello and welcome here

1) Bluetooth pairings are absolutely fine with Gear S2 and you can manage things with the add-on app.

2) Any ROM will sync without any issues, I am sure. Chinese version has the Chinese language and related issues. Rest all are same
[Mate 8 General] samaliset:
That is good with thanks.

May ask you if you the Mate8, do you think it is easy to change rom to global without issues. I am really hesitating.

1. Super Battery friendly ( personally compared Z5 and Z3 to N4 and the results were Fascinating )

2.Smoother UI which is actually closer to CM roms than a laggy touchwiz

3.more Advanced options to use than normal CM roms , better power management and Camera

About as many people as exploding phones care about an unlocked BL. We are in the minority.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
But Samsung needs to realize we the minority are the ones that influence the majority, our family, friends, coworkers. We are the ones they ask before they buy a phone. They'll ask what phone to buy and I'll typically tell them to buy whatever im rocking. Not because it has a unlocked bootloader etc. But because when issues arise they will come to me with there questions and if they go and pick a phone that I didn't recommend they buy in the first place I'm going to let them know I don't know anything about there phone so they need to read the manual. Lol lmao.

I remember when my mom bought her first Android the HTC ARia on At&t and didn't approve. Lol. I sent her to my brother because he also had the phone and he as only a bit more knowledgeable than her. Lol.

It took me a year to get her onto the iPhone, and not because I was not changing to different phones but because iPhones don't change and I could be of off IOS for years and come back and it would still pretty much be the same thing.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] rudbwoy:
I usually tell them to get whatever they want. Fit the device and the users technical knowledge together. I got my parents onto the iPhone as well. Some people have a habit of clicking on anything, and approving anything on their desktop/laptop(even though I've taught them what to look out for). With the iPhone...NOPE! haha! I hope Apple will never change. I hope their interface stays like that for years to come. For savvy users like us, there's Android.

With the development of Android advancing, technology advancing, I only see it getting tougher for us, the minority, to gain root to some devices. It's all about securing the financial endeavors of these corporations. Security is a major priority these days.

I tip my hat to the devs that spend their precious time to break the security these manufacturers/carriers put on our devices. I appreciate them very much.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
Personally I hope they come to their senses and bring back easy user access to battery. This whole fiasco would be so much easier to deal with: mail me new battery (about $10 cost), collect faulty ones, done and forgot. Here whole phone needs to be replaced, at least few hours for user to restore settings, programs, data. My only major complain about N7 from the beginning. They were thinking sealed battery will not allow people to put 3rd party unapproved, "unsafe", batteries, extra revenue stream from service centers replacing older batteries wouldn't hurt, but look how the things turn out in reality. And the phone can be waterproof and still have accessible battery, S5 is.

As far as redemption, they already did, by promising everybody new phone at huge cost. N7 had root, week after release, bootloader locked or not, so not sure I care about it that much? What they should have is developer version fully unlocked for those who care. Actually here is the idea: Get all those recalled N7, refurbish them and sell fully unlocked, might bring new customers.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
What has sealed battery to do with future? Because Apple started doing it? There were sealed batteries long before, there will be replaceable batteries in the future. If you want to talk about future, talk about no batteries at all, but that's still many years out.

If $1 billion lesson is not convincing enough for Samsung, what do I care.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] suzook:
It is the future....get over it, or buy a phone that still has replaceable battery while they are still available.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DVS_Sokar:
It's a give and take situation. You do realize why they sealed the device right? To get the Waterproofing cert. If they allowed a removable battery then they couldn't do that at this level of cert. So it was Seal it and get waterproofing or replaceable battery. I prefer the replaceable battery as I never have had an issue with water damage but it's understandable why it happened.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
I think some started sealing batteries way before waterproofing. It is cheaper to seal batteries during production and sealed batteries are cheaper to make (don't need strong walls). Also puts short expiration date on the phone, batteries won't last much past 2 years of daily use, forcing people to upgrade, or send for service, want it or not. Convince customers that your cost cutting measures are features (not talking about Samsung only here) and all is good. BTW sealed battery is not a deal breaker for me, but negative never the less. Going back on topic, we get $25 credit/gift card for exchange and get to keep old charger/ usb-c cable, India gets free VR gear for delayed launch.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DVS_Sokar:
All additional good points. There is not one singular reason. But, any decision that incentivises a company to get there customers to buy the next best thing design wise as you pointed out is always a business decision they will make. You're right it's completely a method of indirect control and convincing users it's "a feature" is a pacifying tactic.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] slaapliedje:
Personally I think for redemption they should send us the updated Note 7 that is rumored to have 6gb of ram and 128gb of storage. Either that or the mentioned free updated GearVR, since for those that aren't brave enough to hold the Samsung Scorcher in their hands, their release is basically delayed as well.

Granted, I already got the free 256gb Micro SD card, which I think sells normally for 200 USD on Amazon.

1) "So I have to take extra care" - no, just don't damage to the thing with water.

2) "MY device" - no, your old device has been recalled, you will be getting a brand new one. The current one is the old recalled one, not yours.

3) "someone else will reuse it for half of the price I paid for it" - no... Someone might be you, getting back your refurbished device.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Travis Bickle:
Lol it would be funny if they just change the battery and send the old ones back . :)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] galaxynote2:
I'ts quite hard to understand your english, hence why I don't really get your point. As I said before, as long as you dry your device after submerging it and it's not salted water, there's no damage. I know how recalls work. Usually you get the same device/car/whatever you're recalling but fixed. Since this device is sealed and you can't replace the battery without dissasembling it, they give you a brand new one free of charge instead of fixing your actual device. Also, since the recall is optative, your device is still yours even if Samsung asks you to exchange it for a new one. The affected devices are dissasembled to use parts of it and/or go through a quality test to see if the device gets accepted to be refurbished. Does it have a scratch? Is it water damaged? Is it dented or shattered? Dumped. That's it. Samsung does not sell refurbished devices by themselves, usually a third party company offers a refurbished, no-warranty version for a discount. In the last statement Samsung says that they're commited to bring us 100% quality devices, hence why a water damaged refurbished device is not even a chance for them.

Yes... but the note 7 is waterproof for 30 mins to 1.5m..

so therefore he aint gonna water damage his phone...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
You clearly understand zero about water resistance nor the IP rating system. I am too tired to bother to write about it so do what you like with the mobile.

Ryland

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

Its not "Water proof" The mobile has a certain specific water resistance. Please don't think you can take your mobile to depths of 1,5M and it will not be compromised. Depth is only a small part of the water resistance rating. Pressure is the major part. You can

gently immerse

your mobile in still clean water for 30 mins up to a depth of 1.5M. IF, however, you subject said mobile to movement, violent movement, such as swimming or diving in the pool then water may be forced due to pressure into the mobile even at 2" depth!

The way to look at the mobile water resistance is to accept that if you get it wet in the rain or use it with wet hands it may be fine but they are not underwater devices by any means and are not sold as underwater cameras, such cameras cost a fortune and are highly specialised.

Water 'pressure' is the deciding factor in a water resistant mobile. Active high pressures even in a few inches of water will cause a failure of those seals.

A test for you. Stand at the side of your pool and jump spreading your legs and taking your arms above your head, see how many you can manage in 20 seconds. Now enter your pool up to neck depth and do the same exercise. It feels like you have 10kg weights strapped on your arms and legs.....that feeling of

added weight

is water pressure.

Now imagine the pressure your mobile would be under if you repeated said exercise while holding your mobile. :highfive:

Hope you can understand my poor attempt at explaining this? :eek:

Ryland

PS, WHY would one desire to take a mobile phone underwater to take photos in a swimming pool in any case? The sea, okay I get it even though the salt water would eventually damage those seals as will the chemicals in a swimming pool. Read the owners manual. Its very clear on this matter.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] VWnut89:
Yea true it does depend on what he means by underwater photos. I

If hes on about diving then yes that will damage the phone, especially in salt water. But If He just gently placed his phone under the surface of the water in a pool and took a photo I'm sure it would survive fine.
