NOTE: I received this product in exchange for a fair and honest review. I am in not affiliated with the manufacturer/seller of this product.

I do a lot of travel from one end of the county to the other for work. Because of this, I don't have a real 'office' other than my car, and my cell phone is the only real way to reach me - whether it's a call or via email!

I've tried power banks - they only last so long, even a 20,000 mAh power bank! That's where this product fits in nicely - the dodocool solar charger w/ 10,000 mAh power bank!

I've had the product for roughly a week now putting through it's paces and I've got to say that I'm impressed!

It's in a nice nylon case, which folds up for storage and protects the solar panels. The dual USB ports are inside of a zipper pouch, which also houses a 4 LED charge indicator. There's also some metal eyelets in the case that let you tie it to your backpack and a built-in "kickstand" to prop the unit up facing the sun.

I was able to get two 100% charges on my S7 edge which I intentionally ran dead twice for the tests, and then was able to charge my phone the next day without charging the power bank back up just by placing the unfolded charger onto the dash board of my car and running the USB to my phone. After I took the phone off the charger the power bank filled back up and I put it away for safe keeping.

Another test - I was able to charge my 20,000 mAh power bank by hooking it up to this solar charger - that's 3x the stored power now!

Another advantage to solar - I live in Florida - hurricane central! If power goes out I still have a way to get a charge on my phone!

Here's a link to all the photos I took during the unboxing, showing the unit from all angles and how well it was packaged:

Google Photos Shared Album

Pros:

No batteries needed!

It's solar!

It's lightweight!

10,000 mAh of power!

It gives charging priority to connected devices over the built-in power bank!

Cons:

It can only be charged via solar. That's the only complaint - it would have been nice to be able to charge the built-in power bank via a USB charger at home so I start off with a full charge, but the ability to just put it on the dash of my car while I'm driving really offsets that con.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] dieseldeeznutz:
Hello. My friend's mother, from India, is here in the states and would like to buy an S7.

My other friend has a Verizon S7 (SMG-930V) that she wants to sell for cheap ($350). It was her old phone, and she has since switched carriers and phones. She hasn't fully paid off her old S7, although she's still on the hook for it. I think she'll pay it off with the money she'll get from the sale of the phone, but I'm not sure.

My questions are this: Will this phone work well overseas (mostly in India)? Will the fact that the phone isn't fully paid off affect whether it will function? Will flashing the SMG-930U firmware, instead of keeping the SMG-930V, offer any benefits when used overseas?

Thank you in advance for any help!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Flaykz:
Hello,

http://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/development/rom-s7-edge-rom-v1-1-t3356699

This ROM looks great !!! I managed strictly following the steps below to install the rom on my S7 Edge once. Later I wanted to reflash the ROM to change things in AROMA. Since it is impossible for me to go beyond the boot Samsung screen (every time I wait more than 30 minutes, it seems blocked and the phone becomes hot). Since I tried doing all the steps again thinking to reflash the CP and BL, TWRP, and disable encryption of /data partition etc but I still have the same problem.

During the installation of the ROM, I tried several setups, with or without root, with differents kernels etc, nothing works, the installation goes smoothly. It's just that the phone remains locked at startup ("Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, POWERED BY android").

I have Odin 3.10.7 and 3.12.3, TWRP 3.0.2-3hero2lte, BL_G935FXXU1BPH6 and CP_G935FXXUBPH1 and no-verity-opt-encrypt-2.1.

I also tried flashing stock rom and then Superman and fail again.

Could someone help me ?

Thank you.

(I just didn't do the step with CSC because it's seems to be optional)

1. Start your phone, go to settings, about device, software info and hit build.number around 10 times so developer options will show up

2. Open developer options and tick: OEM unlock

3. Shut your phone off

4. You now need a computer, download odin3.10.11

5. Download two files, first is bootloader and second modem: bootloader and modem

6. Boot your phone into download mode by pressing: home+volume down+ power on

7. Open the downloaded odin on your windows pc and click on BL tab and add the file that name begins with BL, same for CP tab

8. After this, reboot to download mode again

9. Install TWRP (latest one is needed to support new BL's) will be next step, for this, follow all steps provided in this forum: TWRP Thread (booting into download mode: press home+volume down+power on, booting into download mode press: home+volume up+power on)

10. when you got TWRP working: We need to disable encryption, for this you should boot into recovery mode (as described above)

11. Flash this on your phone

12. After flashing this, hit wipe, full wipe (this will clean all internal memory and your data will be lost!!)

13. you can test if encryption is still enabled, if TWRP shows error about not mounting /data your phone is still encrpyted

14. Now you can download the rom onto your PC and then transfer it via usb to your phone

15. It is rom installing time install the rom!

16. After successfully installing the rom hit reboot and you are good to go!

I was going to see if I can recover anything from the phone, however I will need root access if I am going to examine the empty parts of the drive to see if I can recover anything. Does/can anyone tell me an effective rooting method for this phone? Does anyone have any idea how I can attempt a recovery of the photos without root?

Hi there guys,

Hope you can figure the problem out and help me.

I have just bought a o2 Orbit (htc Artemis) and have been installing software on it and adapting it for myself.

I have upgraded to Windows Mobile 6 through http://www.my-xda.com/xdaOrbitSoftware.html and it was running perfectly.

Today I was installing some software, the last thing I did was installing Opera 8.65 which did not work with the phone (did no reaction to stylus) so I have uninstalled it and for some reason I dont remember now I pressed the power button to switch it off.

The phone was connected to the PC (activesync running).

I pressed power again and .. that's it. It it stuck on the welcome screen since then. No windows loading . I have tried hard reset (pressing Win+OK buttons and stylus->reset) and it still just shows O2 welcome screen and the following information:

IPL 3.04.0001

SPL 3.04.0000

GSM 02.67.90

My phone recently began "permanently uploading" even though I'm not actually uploading anything. I have attached a screeshot.

This has caused my downloads to only work at random times, my calls work randomly, and basically I can't use my phone how I want to when I need it the most. GPS to download maps, playing Pokémon go, using Facebook, snap chat, YouTube, etc. Because of this highly inconvenient issue.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mydadisrad:
Sooo,

I bought a used vodafone moto g 1st gen naively expecting to have an easy sim-unlock available in the forums - maybe I haven't found it yet?

The online unlock code vendors I tried have refunded me saying they can't do my IMEI so I'm a bit stuck.

I flashed cyanogen hoping a new kernel would do the magic but I guess the simlock is in a different partition?

I see that a couple years ago http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2903823 some were considering how the sim unlock modified the utag partitions. Does anyone know of further progress, information or solutions to sim unlock a moto g?

Or has anyone found a vendor that has successfully provided a UK vodafone sim unlock code?

P.S. Will I need to revert to the stock rom and kernel to use a sim unlock code?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Professor Gibbins:
The official Vodafone UK unlock service should work: https://www.vodafone.co.uk/vodafone-uk/forms/unlock-code-request/
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mydadisrad:
Thanks Professor Gibbins.

Unfortunately the Vodafone unlock process asks for the vodafone number that has been used with the phone. Perhaps it would work if I got a pay-as-you go SIM from them and then provided that number.

Fortunately I tried paying a third unlock code vendor - sim-unlock*.net - waited a couple days and they came through with a valid code. I had started with the cheapest ebay vendors, so maybe they just weren't legit?

In any case, if someone else is in similar circumstances, here's what I learned:

There doesn't seem to be any other solution for sim unlocking the moto G xt1032 than purchasing an unlock code from an online vendor or, in the case of you being the original owner, from the network you purchased the phone from

Having a couple online vendors say they cannot get you the code does not mean another cannot

Neither unlocking the bootloader, installing a different recovery (TWRP), nor flashing a Cyanogen ROM will help Sim unlock the phone

The code provided by the online vendor did not work when I had Cyanogen installed. Fortunately I had created a backup of the vodafone ROM (using TWRP) and restoring their android version/kernel allowed the code purchased online to sim unlock the phone

Finally, the SIM unlock done in the vodafone system was maintained after restoring my Cyanogen install. I hope this means the sim/network lock will not return. It might perhaps resurface if I did a system restore; hopefully then the same unlock code would work again?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aha360:
Once the unlock is done via an UNLOCK CODE, or via hardware unlocking tools, then it is permanent, so you shouldn't need to worry about this at all, but that said, in case you experience SIM un-/lock issues, then reuse the code when trying to unlock the phone on an OEM-DISTRIBUTED ROM (stock ROM).

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
Just curious because, even though we shouldn't need them if they haven't changed, they didn't include the bootloader and radio, as every other MM monthly, has included. Anything odd or did your security update go smoothly. With all the N mystery around the factory image, just wondering.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpookyTunes:
I flashed the full MTC20L OTA from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota over MTC20F. Android Security Patch level: September 6, 2016. Full OTA has bootloader, radio, and vendor files. No issues so far. The Kernel has a build date of Aug 9 2016. I will wait for Google to fix the bugs and post full OTA's and Factory Images before upgrading to N. This is my primary device, so it needs to work.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
I manually do so via fastboot so it's entirely different, but good to know the OTA was fine.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blitzkriegger:
I just went back from Nougat to MTC20L via fastboot. The bootloader and radio images from the August update are the same ones necessary for this release. No issues whatsoever rolling back.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
I did that a few days ago to MTC20F. More referring to the monthly update from that to L. I suspect it is fine but this whole N thing has been weird.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blitzkriegger:
The android-info.txt located within the images zip mentioned that the same bootloader and radio version as the August zip were required so I thought it was safe to flash away. I guess the non-inclusion of the bootloader/radio on the latest image was accidental.

Indeed N has been weird for a lot of people. I'm just lucky I haven't experienced the issues others were having with N. I just think of the delay in releasing N images as an opportunity to spend a little more time with M stuff. I'm going with the speculation that the full release of N for the 6p has been delayed due to VR. Or another possibility is that official images will debut with the MR1 release.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariefabuzaky:
Can you explain step by step to revert back to MM from N ?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:
Just flash the factory image. Instructions are here: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928

EDIT: Or, if you're going to restore a previous Nandroid, make sure that you use TWRP 3.0.2-0 or 3.0.2-2.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blitzkriegger:
Okay Buddy. Here are some assumptions prior to doing the steps:

*You have the required adb/fastboot/adb environment configured on your computer as mentioned on the intro of Heisenberg's How-to Guide

*You either have the August factory images or at least a copy of the August bootloader and radio image

*You have the latest September factory image

*You are on TWP 3.0.2-2

Steps:

1.) Copy/paste all important files you have on your phone to your PC.

2.) Next, make sure that the September image files are extracted within the "SDK Tools">"platform-tools" folder on your computer.

3.) Next extract or copy/paste the August bootloader (bootloader-angler-angler-03.54.img) and radio (radio-angler-angler-03.61.img) images within the "SDK Tools">"platform-tools" folder on your computer.

4.) Once you are all set reboot your phone to TWRP recovery first. Once within recovery go to "Wipe">

Advanced Wipe", place a check mark on all items then proceed with the wipe.

5.) If you want a decrypted system like I did, or make everything as clean as can be go to back to "Wipe">"Format Data" and proceed to format data.

6.) After formatting data, my practice is to reboot back to TWRP first. Once back to TWRP I then reboot to fastboot.

7.) Once on fastboot flash the images as specified on item#9 of Hesienberg's guide. Make sure that you execute the reboot-bootloader command after flashing the August bootloader. Also execute the same reboot-bootloader command after flashing August radio. Then flash away the remaining images (except recovery.img if you wish to keep TWRP).

8.) When done flashing all files my practice is to reboot-bootloader again. Then afterwards reboot to system. Then patiently wait for the phone to boot.

Disclaimer:Some of the steps are not fully required. It's just my practice as I flash totally clean.
