[General Questions and Answers] Mike Crawford:
I'm shopping for a device to do App development on. It doesn't matter whether it's a phone or a tablet. But I do care about getting new firmware updates within a reasonable time after Google issues a new version.

I expect most vendors only support the latest firmware in totally new models. What I want is to load firmware on an old device, rather than having to purchase a new device.

I know you've probably tried it but

Volume down

Home button

Then press power button

Any joy with the recovery method?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] -OreN-:
I have tried that combination.. it's just loops to S7 screen..

I can boot to recovery but when I try to format factory it says: "mdm does not allow factory reset" and it reset and turn off..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] iamsloany:
Is it rooted witg custome recovery or stock recovery?

If it is with a custom, try transferring a rom over in mass storage, if not, then I'm out of ideas
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] -OreN-:
it was rooted with TWRP recovery.. but somehow it was vanished and now I have stock recovery.. :/

is there a way to force download mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] iamsloany:
Unless theres an option in stock recovery wgich i think tyere is, restart to bootloader try that, if not then someone with a vit more knowledge will come along
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] -OreN-:
there is an option: "reboot to bootloader". I press on it, the phone restart to S7 logo with "custom binary blocked by frp lock" and shut down..

I gotta do something.. :\

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] weirddan455:
Don't hold the power button, just home + volume down. Hold those two buttons down, it may reboot a couple times but it should eventually get into download mode.

If not, try home + volume up to get into recovery (stock or twrp, either should work.) From there, try factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] -OreN-:
if I press volume down+home+power and immediately release the power button it just turn on and turn off like always..

I can get to recovery mode, but when I try to factory reset it writes me: "mdm does not allow factory reset" and turn off.

please hellppp!! :\
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] weirddan455:
There's an option to flash an update from sdcard in stock recovery. I think it needs to be an OTA update. Not entirely sure, but you could try doing a search for instructions on that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] -OreN-:
it doesn't allow me to do that..

I took my phone to samsung lab, they say that the motherboard is corrupted and I need to replace it.. did they right? because I don't have warranty and it costs me alot of money..
[T-Mobile LG G4] metropical:
this morning, put a photo on the phone and it went into restart by itself and looped the bootloader.

tried various things, reboot to TWRP with hw buttons. Got there a couple times.

Rebooted to system. Phone woke as normal. Then went back to bootloop immediately.

Tried without SD and SIM.

Same thing. Reinstalled SIM. Same thing.

Inevitably, I end up in a bootloop.

Did some searching and find there is a known issue with serials 505-507 and LG has replaced many phones.

Anyone have this experience?

Did you get a free of charge from LG or T-Mob or ?

Is there any way to show current battery status on the second screen when phone is in standby?

Yes this is driving me nuts as well....would love to see the battery percentage on second screen and not just the battery icon.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] saulvg:
I agree. Wish there was a way to display %
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] anilhk:
I'm waiting for this too!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] LGman072:
I found a work around of sorts for this. It's not perfect but, it works decent. You'll need to get the free app called "Battery Mix" from the Google Play Store.

After install, go into the app settings (icon style wheel (top right)->settings button will appear underneath). The very first setting at the top will be for the Notification Icon. It will say: "Remaining battery icon displayed in the status bar". Make sure this is checked. Then choose an icon style to appear in the status bar if you haven't already. I prefer the Round Rectangle one, personally.

Keep in mind, if you have a lot of uncleard notifications, it may not show in the second screen until you do so.

This app also has a very nice battery alarm feature that allows the app to notify you by notification and sound (even vibration and your phone LEDs) when your phone reaches or drops to certain charge level percentages. This is very handy to remind you to either plug in the charger, or unplug to prevent overcharging. All the best! LGman
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] tribalartgod:
One would think that after 8 years in the wild, Android would allow you to have JUST the battery percentage on the status bar. We can't even hide the stock icon without the help of an app or root. Sad really.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ElBeaner:
And it's not as if they can't, Samsung proved that with their Note 7 where an update changed the battery icon to green
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Anarchaotic:
Persistent notification icon + a tasker task that'll only keep the notification active during screen lock will work. It'll take approximately 13 hours to get it to work properly and not bug out, but once you go through that arduous process for a negligible improvement you'll feel satisfied.

But seriously - this is the only way I can see you getting it done. I'm annoyed that the goddamned STOCK clock app won't show a timer on the 2nd screen, which is such an oversight it kills me.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Koont:
Well, you could just install nova launcher and hide notifications bar and ta daaaa. Time, signal, and battery w/ percentage in 2nd screen. Your welcome. Lol.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] spexwood:
It isn't perfect, but I did make a Tasker flasher for the 2nd screen that displays the current battery % every 10 seconds. Instructions on how to get it into Tasker are in the first post (the instructions are for a different ticker, but they apply to all of them).

I'm confused, I can always get battery percentage to appear on the status bar of all my android phones. It's just unchecked in battery settings.

This thread was about putting it on the second screen which I don't believe is more than 2 years (still plenty of time though).
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] easyguy:
The second screen is useless to me. They should make it E-Ink or OLED, saves battery.

I rather have a notification light. Unless i'm using it wrong?

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] tribalartgod:
You missed the keywords "just the percentage" as in.. hide the battery icon and only have percentage showing... Without the use of an app or root. And it was a generalized statement pertaining to either the main screen or the second.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dennistpm:
If you do that then you can't scroll the second screen anymore. At least in my version of Nova.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] inuyasha1999:
I use a small app called Battery Bot. I've used it for years on other phones, and installed it on my V20 when I got it. It does show in the second screen next to the other notifications while in standby, but the battery icon is still there. Second screen swipes with no issues, too.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] FJ40dan:
Thanks works great just installed it. "89" compared to a 100% icon. :good:
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Zoandroid:
Just got a new V20. Thanks for the suggestion for Battery Bot. I think most who replied here confused the actual thread title "Second screen battery %" for "Status Bar battery %". I already have the % in the status bar, from factory stock. But not in the V20 second screen, so I can check it when the display is off, like when charging the battery, since the V20 has no charge or notification LED like most other devices. I now have 2nd screen battery % visible thanks to Battery Bot.

Odd that, in removing the notification LED fore their 2nd screen design, they made no indication of when the charge is complete. Aftermarket app to the rescue! :)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] inuyasha1999:
No problem :). I've been using Battery Bot for a few years now, and was happy to see that it would display on the second screen when I installed it on my V20.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] LGman072:
Battery Mix is another 3rd party app that will display in the notification panel on the V20 and therefore, the 2nd screen. I particularly like the customized look of this one. Works for the V30 & 40 as well

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] ag11:
Hi!

I would like to know about supported firmwares for the chinese dual sim 32 gb model. If cust will be configured to C432 using SRK Tool will it be possible to flash a full stock rom for the international dual sim 32 gb model (EVA-L19)?

The chinese and international models are not identical as i.e. the supported frequencies are different according to FrequencyCheck.com. In the country of use the missing frequencies of the EVA-DL00 are not used, so from this point of view it shouldn't be a limitation. Will there be problems flashing the L19 rom though or is it possible at all?

Thanks,

ag
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] monoxian:
I just debranded my phone from 64rom/4ram AL10 to L09C432. For now, I know that dual sim works and that my SIM card is detected and works. (Canadian SIM) The phone detects the good storage and ram capacity. It is most likely that it will support the frequencies of the DL00 that it had in your case with the ROM that you will flash because you're not changing the kernel. (BTW SRK Tool debrands to L09 by default, not that it matters... If you really want L19, You will have to manually find an L19 custom.bin and oeminfo)
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] ag11:
In fact I had the L19 in mind as this is the most similar hardware to DL00 as international version. Mostly I was worried about the dual sim support, but as you say it works also debranding to L09 this shouldn't be a problem.

I'm confused by the choice of the rom though related to the roms from here. Thought the rom needs to be the one most similar to the hardware (for the china models: L29 rom for AL10 Dual SIM 4GB,64GB / L19 rom for DL00 Dual SIM 3GB,32GB / L09 rom for Al00 Single SIM 3GB,32GB+NFC - and whatever else for TL00 and CL00) and would also need to match the branded version. Is is not like this? Does only the branding need to fit the rom that can be flashed and the rest (specific functions) will be done by the kernel?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] monoxian:
It doesn't need to match the original hardware. When you debrand, the new rom just has to match the debrand model id, everything else is done by the kernel.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] swedenboy:
Hi monoxian,

I use AL10, too. Now I'm going to debrand it for Europe Rom. Does it need to be rooted? I'm on Nougat, so is it possible to debrand?

Besides, does it have dual sim management in L09 ROM?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Capa1970:
Just purchased a used AT&T Note 5 from Swappa and the device is extremely laggy. I am coming from a Snapdragon Note 4 (and a Galaxy S5 before). My previous devices ran very smoothly and very rarely exhibited any lag. The lag is evident when typing, regardless of keyboard, browsing, regardless of browser, and really anywhere.

I was worried I purchased a fake but CPU-Z says it's the Exynos 7420. Also ran 3D Mark benchmark and it scored similarly to other Note 5's. I ended up factory resetting again but it didn't help. Cache cleared and also accessed Developer menu and removed all animations to no avail. On Android 6.0.1 and security update from August. Any help appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Chris2708:
You could try booting in safe mode and see if the lag disappears and then try to narrow down what could be causing it ,if by some chance it disappears.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Capa1970:
Thank you for the reply. It was definitely stuttering in safe mode, though there was a big improvement with just the keyboard. I'm returning the phone. Not sure what it is but something is wrong here. My wife has the Galaxy S6 Active with the exact same CPU and GPU and it runs quite smoothly.

Headphone jack distorts sound on headphones and aux cables, if the volume is halfway its just ok, turn it up and it distorts quite bad and only plays sound on 1 side, software or hardware fault?

Checked for dirt but its fine, tried different earphones and aux leads with the same outcome

Edit:

Not rooted & ended up buying some bluetooth earphones, just need a fix for the aux in the car now, possibly thinking it maybe software related unsure if I should root just yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] S7sadly:
Same exact problem any soloution

I really need advice
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Revontheus:
Hi! First, we need to determine whether the problem is software or hardware related. An easy way to do this would be to "factory-reset" the device. If doing so, doesn't change the situation and the sound still distorts, you could try flashing a new firmware and see if that helps.

If all of the above fails, it's most certainly a hardware issue and needs to be sent in either for repair or replacement.

Cheers and happy 2018!

I'm coming from a Nexus 6 that I've been with Fi on, and I popped my SIM card into my Pixel XL, but when I try to finish the activation, it keeps telling me that the SIM card isn't compatible, and to replace it with one that is. It appears my service is working, from what I can tell (as I can make/ receive calls and texts and browse the internet), but I have a perpetual ongoing notification from Fi that it hasn't finished activating, and when I try to finish it to clear the notification, that's when I keep getting the error. Any ideas?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Gizmoe:
Here is a snippet from Fi support I read somewhere and copied to my notepad. I would start by using the repair bad activation dialer code. The others are just good to have for reference. If you force a carrier the auto switching doesn't work even for trusted WiFi.

"Thanks for being a Project Fi user! ?*You may have heard about these mystical dialer codes. ?*Here they are and here's what they do!

Force Jump to Sprint: ?**#*#34777#*#*

Force Jump to T-Mobile: ?**#*#34866#*#*

Force Jump to Next Carrier: ?**#*#346398#*#*

Turn On Auto Switch: ?**#*#342886#*#*

Repair Bad Activation: ?**#*#34963#*#*

Current Network Info: ?**#*#344636#*#*

Make sure if you don't want to be locked into the carrier you force switched to, you need to use the "Turn On Auto Switch" code afterwards. ?*Auto-switching will resume after a reboot. ?*However, it will start with the last carrier that you were connected to before the reboot."

Edit:for some reason the codes are adding a question mark and another asterisk to the beginning. It's

Star,Pound,Star,Pound then Pound,Star,Pound,Star
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mrw1215:
Thanks for the info, but I also just stumbled across an old article from last year about how Fi sims changed and that Fi users had to upgrade their sims when the Nexus 5X and 6P came out. Since I stuck with my N6, that was never an issue for me, and honestly, I didn't even realize that was a thing. So, I placed an order for a new sim. Just sucks that I have to wait another week or so for it to arrive before I can start using my new Pixel. v_v
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jawmail:
I think they sent me a new sim last year when I went from the 6 to 6P maybe give them a call.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mrw1215:
Yeah, I just ordered a new sim through the website. I assume that all sims they send out now are the newer type, so hopefully they don't just give me a replacement sim for my current N6. @_@

I hadn't ordered my Pixel from the Fi portion of the store, so I never had any kind of an option for a new sim card, that I recall. I just went straight through the Google store.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
I got mine through Fi so hopefully when I get home the SIM that came with the Pixel XL won't give any issues.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] LeoD:
If you order through Fi, a new sim comes with it. activation went flawless. If you look at the order it should show you a sim card is being sent with the phone. At least mine did.

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

I don't believe it is so much a newer type sim as much as the sims seems to marry to the phone. When I put the new sim in it went through a transfer of the phone number over to the phone. seemed a bit strange but as I said it did go flawless with the new sim.
