Couldn't have said it better. Appart from the trolling before your comment....Samsung gave users removable battery, sd card and OLED. A perfect trifecta for those who smelled Apple's incompetence. We had this beautiful combo until Note 4....when all of a sudden Samsung felt the pressure. What some fail to understand is there are several categories of phone customers: iSheeps...vain idiots...who will buy crapple even if it were disposable; normal people buying IPhone because...either had a bad experience with other phones, or just couldn't get an alternative (for several reasons); people with IPhone and Android (not necessarily Samsung) due to several reasons (one may be a work phone, maybe even a present there they couldn't refuse); Android all the way people and finally hard core Android people (those who buy Android to really exploit all of its glory).

Samsung was what made Android is today...that is why most will never understand that for hard core fans there is no real alternative to Samsung. As iSheeps like to boast in society with their new expensive peace of crap, Samsung fans were proud of the trifecta. Nowadays...that special thing is broken. Android trolls (unfortunately we have those kind as well, just check this topic) are sick of feeling inferior because they buy Samsung and dream of everything IPhone offers...that is why they cried we don't want plastic...I say lol...all my phones From S1 to 5, from Note 1 to 4 had that plastic back throwen away and replaced with a case, lately a leather S-view flip case. Do I care the back was made of plastic...lol no...I throw it away. Do I care that now we have all scratching glass in the back...lol yes...first of all because I can't use the flipcase anymore...and second of all I can't replace battery. Hard core Android means having 8h of screen time minimum per day, from work to leisure, from videos to games. 8h screen time minimum means at least 2 charges per day...every day...in 6 months the battery will go down from 4h30 to 2h of screen time. And usually even with light use ,battery depleted by 1PM.

But I guess there are idiots in the Android world, as well, that are not capable to understand that...they bought the phone to look pretty ...while others really do use it. Battery is a deal breaker for some of us...of course for trolls not.

Note 7 exploding isnt getting stupid. PAID media trying make it worse is getting stupid.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:
Nobody has to pay American Media to kick Samsung in the nuts...they'll gladly do it for free :)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Biggenz:
It's not Samsung's fault?? The buck stops with them and frankly, if they release millions of phones which can potentially explode and burn your house down without having the proper quality control procedures in place, then they deserve all the flack they get. Truly unprofessional from an outfit like them. And yes, of course it will help Apple. How could it not? This whole fiasco made Samsung look like a bunch of rookies which played right into the hands of Apple.

I'm still not sure which side you're on... :P

It's a bit harshly put, but I agree. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would buy any Apple products. It's light years behind Android, ridiculously overpriced for what it is, cumbersome to do any simple tasks on and overly restricted that unless you jailbreak it.

If I pay that sort of money for anything, I don't want the manufacturer telling me what I can and can't do with it.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:
I am on Android side, than Samsung. I can't say I'm against Apple...that's not a real position...but I do consider nobody should buy their phones, not under current what they offer-what you pay. I am against people who buy them though...it's just...meah.

I am truly upset with Samsung lately (since Note 5, S6)...and when I look around and see no real alternative I get even more upset...I hope they stop copying all that's bad in IPhone
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
Has anyone seen a Note7 that "exploded?" If so post a link. The pics I've seen online all show they overheated and took out the left side of the phone (where the battery is) leaving the rest of the phone intact. There were some pics posted of the aftermath.

Granted that's an "oh sh!t" moment but carpet's plastic and bedding is cotton or a poly blend. Those pics look similar to what you'd see from a hot iron. Oh well, it is what it is.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] seh6183:
Saumsung is 100% responsible for this for not thoroughly testing their phones. They should have put the phones on 78 different chargers and tested the first 500 off the assembly line to look for defects. They are responsible for this and they will lose billions because of it. Just wait until the Gorilla Glass 5 stuff kicks into full gear. They are responsible for that as well. Honestly I feel that the batteries are karma for the glass debacle that is coming. If they had thoroughly tested their phones like they should have, they would have found that the glass is trash, the KEYBOARD LITERALLY DOESN'T WORK out of the box, and the batteries explode. They didn't test, now they will suffer the consequences. I still love the phone and will not be switching to anything else, but I hope they learned their lesson here.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rocky4j:
Is anyone still using their note7 even though it has not been replaced?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] daywalker386:
I'm also a Samsung User for years now, started with the Galaxy S2, Then S3, S4, Note 2,3 and 4. Note 5 wasn't sold in my Country so i am still with the Note 4, still an awesome device. Don't know why Samsung changed their "programm" when removing SD Card Slot and the Battery-Changing Possibility. The earned al lot of face-slapping and they deserved it !!

But "re-invent" the SD Card Slot and running commercials as if this is a enormous new invention, that's never been here before, is just annoying... Maybe on an upcoming Note 8 we will be able to Change the Battery again... And it will be another stunning invention, brandnew and never seen before...

And this waterproof is quite disgusting too, Waterproof yes, but only in cold clear water... Not in salty water, not in pools with cloride nor in water for cleaning the dishes.... :D

I suggest that they should develop 2 different "premium" mobiles... One with all those f...unny things like Iris Scan, Waterproof in some liquids ,not in all, and all this things.

And on the other hand a "Power-Mobile" with SDCard, Removeable Battery and Really HighSpeed CPU...

So the Customer could decide, which productline is his/her favorite....

Does it make Sense to bulid a Galaxy S7, a Galaxy S7 edge and a Galaxy Note 7 ( i call it Galaxy S7 edge plus pen)

...and please resurrect Battery Changing.... Would have saved a lot of money, right?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedicemaster:
you'd have been fine with getting your note 7 in October

2017

?

the percentage of phones that develop issues is so small it wouldn't even be guaranteed that any of those 500 test phones you're suggesting would suffer catastrophic failure in a year.

to get any reliable results in an acceptable time period they would have to test 100.000 phones, statistically 3 or 4 of those would explode during 1 month of testing.

even less if they tested different chargers, because many chargers wouldn't use fast charging.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] seh6183:
The statistics are only such because there is a tiny amount of users using aftermarket quick chargers. Samsung is convinced that ALL the batteries outside of china have this issue. If this is the case, and they tested the phones with many chargers (like I mentioned in my previous post), they would have found the issue. Regardless it's still karma for the crappy glass.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:
sssshhh... now now... there are trolls on this topic (and others) that would not agree with you... "what are you talking about there now... dont you know removable battery is so 2012, move on, stop *****ing, learn to adapt"... you are the only one (plus me) who'd want that.

@on topic... go look at a LG V20 review video... when you'll see they have removable metal back integrated in a unibody lookalike you'll flip... just like me. If only Samsung would give us a Note "cheap" with a plastic back so we can throw it away the very next second and use a flipcase and 3 batteries... [emoji30]
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] daywalker386:
So thank god, so many people with so many different needs.... i really give a f... if something is so 2012, Buddy... and yes i would prefer a cheap plastic back and changeable battery.... because that´s what i need every day.... and i just need 2 batteries....:laugh:

Such a stupid comment calling Apple customers for idiots and iPhone crap. Even on a android forum stupid comments like this just make me sad to read
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] hoursenghong:
This is how business work.

#1: you polish cheap and old age tech and sell for tons of money and people buy it. Then u "pay" the money to cover the "bad feedback" customers have been giving to make your product look like it is working well, while in fact it is not. They also use the profit to "pay" iDiots so they can take other brand down as well.

#2: you make good device with up to date hardware. But defective is everywhere. U can't make "perfect" stuff. Then u don't make a lot of profit. You get attacked by other company. Then u can't "pay" to cover the "bad feedback". And people will see that your product is not good. And the sale will go downhill.

1 is apple. 2 is Samsung.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Snowleopard1900:
I love this thread...... As much as I love my Note 7...... I don't want a battery I cannot easily remove from the device. I would rather save the device and destroy the old battery if the battery has the chance of exploding. Can't they water proof the phone and then leave contacts for a sealed battery that snaps in? That way I can get a 45,000 mah battery from Zero Lemon that does not explode that needs to be charged once a month with heavy use....

I think this whole battery sealed in the phone thing is so government agencies can track you where ever you are..... example.... now there will always be a battery in the device to power the gps that never really can be turned off so they always know where you are.......... :D
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] hoursenghong:
Hope you're joking...

Need to take a break from these csi-kinda movie marathon, mate.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] clearbox:
Doesn't matter

Guys, this idea that the government agencies need your GPS to figure out where you are is kinda dumb. There's about a dozen other ways you are going to be found if they want to really find you. The question is, why you think a government agency would care about your chats with your gf about ice cream sandwiches....

The best thing that every happened to law enforcement was putting IOT sound enabled devices in every home, that's right, TV's with voice control, voice control devices like those Amazon things. Read the disclaimer that pops up on your tv, and probably in the pamphlet that comes with any voice command internet enabled device now.

Worry less about your GPS enabled phone and sealed batteries... ;)

Hi,

Dload method of Android 5.1.1 Firmware under Android 6.0 environment won't work.

I suggest you follow the steps in this thread: Safe way to get back to B112 (android 5.1.1) from B205 or B209 (android 6.0)

Get back to B112 first, and try update to 6.0 again.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mesho1986:
thank you for your reply.

there's one of the steps that says to copy files in the internal storage, but how can i do that while the device won't turn on?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
You can mount sd in TWRP.

Look at the other thread where I helped someone else with similar problem last week.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] mesho1986:
thank you very much for your reply.

can you please post the solution link from that thread here.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Look there

You photo shows a screen wich comes up, if you start the recovery2. This comes up on pressing VOL+ and been USB connected.

If you want to dload via 3 finger method unconnect USB.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mesho1986:
i want to clarify that

i don't have TWRP installed

.

i tried putting B112 from this thread in (dload\update.app) in the external sd card

and then pluged the usb and held the power button with vol+ and vol-

and it started installing but i'm stuck at 5% for more than 60 minutes ?!

[IMG="stuck @ 5%"]http://i.imgur.com/O5typXg.jpg[/IMG]

i'm really confused, what am i missing :confused:

.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
This means that the update.app can not update. The reason is that the existing rom does not fit to the 112 update.

Which version did you have instated before?

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 AM ----------

[Huawei MediaPad X2] mesho1986:
i don't really remember, but i think it was b112 .
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Did you try again with unconnected usb. There should be no usb icon on the screen.

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mesho1986:
i just tried the Power and vol+ and vol- without usb connected

with SDcard inside with (dload\update.app) B112 GEM-703L

and i still get error.

[IMG="error"]http://i.imgur.com/ywgpZdV.jpg[/IMG]

is there any program like odin that i can format huawei phones with ?

.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
no there is isn't.

We seem not to find out which system resides on the phone.

flash TWRP for Android 5.11 on recovery2 partion:

fastboot flash recovery2 twrp.img

(use instead of twrp.img the exact filename which you have)

First try the newest Twrp.

Start the TWRP while your device is connected to usb and you hold VOL UP key on start.

Then press wipe and do the factory reset: wipe cache, dalvic and system.

Then format internal SD via TWRP.

Then return to bootloader mode via holding VOL MINUS key on start.

You can try to extract the boot, system, recovery from several versions and flash them via adb.

Always copy the update.app to external sd inside a folder /dload on root of the external SD

Start with the files for B112 : extract them to your adb directory and copy update.app to exernal SD /dload.

Flash the 3 files and start device with all buttons pressed.

Repeat this up to 4 times if it fails.

If it still fails, then try Version B202 (only use the update.app of B202 do NOT unzip update.zip and exctrace the included update.app for 211. This will not work and lead you in deeper problems)

If this still fails, try Version B003.

If dload is successful, then install the next higher update.app : factory reset on EMUI including format internal SD and then B106

If you are successful on B106 then just dload B112

if you are successful on B112 start patitional update (this is update.zip in /dload folder)

If you are successful on B202 then install neweset TWRP and internaltion B202

if you are successful on B211 then intall newest TWRP and KANGVIP 211
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mesho1986:
i put the phone in the fastboot&rescue mode by holding power button and vol-

[IMG="fasstboot and rescue mode"]http://i.imgur.com/Az93CvN.jpg[/IMG]

and then held the shift button and right click on the folder (twrp) and chose the cmd

and i wrote "fastboot flash recovery2 (file name)" :

[IMG="cmd"]http://i.imgur.com/v3FpOv6.png[/IMG]

am i doing it right ??​

.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] trurl3:
Yes, you are doing right but effect is not right... Did you unlock bootloader yourself? Are you sure it is unlocked? Sometimes it is NOT unlocked even though it is so written!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mesho1986:
i never did anything with the bootloader myself, it was this way since i bought this GEM-703L

i don't know if it's locked or unlocked ?

can you please guide me how to know and confirm that to you.

i still have hope that this issue can be solved.

thank you so much ( audioralf , trurl3 ) for your caring and responding.

.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Well simply press Return. If flash is successful your Bootloader is Really unlocked.

This is the test you habe already done.

You have bought a used device.

---------- Post added at 07:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 AM ----------

Ti unlock bootloader use DC-unlocked for 4 EUR. Our try this:

Joseph reported to get bootloader code immediately via Chinese website: 'To calculate unlock code I used chinese version of http://emui.huawei.com/ and created account.

After login into my account I went on that page: https://emui.huawei.com/plugin/unlock/index

I agreed and confirmed and on the next page I just filled S/N, IMEI and ID.

There is also english version, but for me it was not working (broken verification code image). '

Type

fastboot oem unlock xxxx

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mesho1986:
actually i bought it new, not used.

and i will try the stuff above in your reply.

thank you,
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
We saw this often. It might be a relock via the vendor which closes the bootloader, but message 'unlock' remains. All people who unlocked were successful after this.

Replace xxxx with the bootloader code you receive on this page, or you via dc-unlocker software

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Bearses:
I'm having a similar issue. I have twrp and bootloader unlocked. I can get into fastboot and twrp, but nothing else. Just hang on boot. My phone is 703L B211, but I'm not sure if my mucking about changed that. I've done a few factory resets from twrp in between installing a few different roms to try and fix it. It originally bricked when I tried to install SuperSU, and I'm feeling overwhelmed trying to figure out where to begin fixing it. What guide should I "start at"? What firmware, roms, etc. do I need to install, and in what order? I'm so confused.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
search for systemless root and type the command in twrp command window.

Then see if device starts.

If you havn't installed any rom or dload, write wich version you were on as last.

If you tried to flash or install anything write down what you did.

Well, it would seem I have finally broken my quicksand case. I tried a couple of the cases that are still available on Amazon and I can't stand them. I can't find a quicksand case for sale for my Nexus 5 anywhere, barring a couple of really bad colors (baby blue and hot pink.) Has anybody seen any online?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] skeeterfood:
Have you already tried the Diztronic case? https://www.amazon.com/LG-Nexus-Case-Diztronic-Flexible/dp/B00FZ14E3S

I wish it was available in colors other than black, but it's the best case I've found as far as usability goes.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bent14:
I haven't tried that one in particular, but had another tpu case like it. They are better than the quicksand for protection but, in my opinion, don't look or feel as nice as the hard quicksand cases. The quicksand case also allows easy access the far edges of the screen, something I had an issue with other tpu cases. I may end up trying it though as it seems these cases are no longer being made. I appreciate the suggestion
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hudl:
Don't know if it's available in the US - but this one is really great, adding nearly no bulk: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00GID6JA8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Love it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bent14:
That is the exact case I was talking about. It is the only time I've ever had a case that improved on the look and feel of the phone. Unfortunately that one shows unavailable, but I did find one on Amazon that was from a "third-party seller." I had to pay $17 for it, but it was worth it to me. A shame they are so hard to come by now, I will have to be careful not to break this one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] marrecar:
You can find really cheap ones on Aliexpress. I got one in like February 2015 as a gift and it took like more than a year for me to wear it out. They are sturdy and grip really well and they look really beautiful. I had a black one and my friend were always impressed as f. when they saw it. I don't know if I should put a direct link here, but just go to Aliexpress and search "nexus 5 quicksand" and it should pop up as first with most orders.

Hey guys I recently flashed my Micromax A190 with S6 custom rom and I've been having 3g network problems. Now my phone doesn't have a strong 3g signal and sometimes it doesn't even get registered to the 3g network. So I tried to test whether it was the phone or the network itself that was having a problem. I tried using my friend's Samsung(stock rom) phone with the same carrier network and eventually he was having a strong 3g signal while my phone couldn't get the 3g signal in the same room. This problem started only after I installed custom rom and it was okay when I was using my stock rom. So guys please help me!! I even downloaded the modem for my custom rom and its an .tar.md5 extension but I can find a way to execute the file, I Googled for hours but still I can't find a solution. I also tried using Odin but my phone doesn't boot into download and it can't be detected
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robneymcplum:
Odin is only for samsung phones isnt it?

I think you'll need to flash your tar. file with SPflashtool.

Does your phone get 'seen' with SPflash tools? I assume its is seen in MTKdroid tools? Both needing Vcom drivers to have been installed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wallinggod:
I haven't tried SP tool yet. I'll check it out and post the result later.
