[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadaall:
Hi all,

I've been following XDA forum for few years now, but not posted very often, as I always tried to find solutions here and there and fix things myself with gained knowledge.

Here I've got serious problem. As mentioned above - I looked everywhere, tried different methods and solutions and even went above and beyond. Below quick explanation.

So I bought faulty Tab S 8.4 from eBay. Before I purchased it I messaged the seller asking about the faults/reasons why the tablet doesn't turn on (asked if it was dropped, water damaged etc).

In his listing he stated that (from original listing) "The tablet in excellen condition, but after upgrade the Android operation system, does'nt like to turn on. No reaction on screen. I think it still work, just need to fix it."

He stated that he was the first owner. I asked him in one of my messages if he attempted to repair it - he said he didn't. So I thought - easy fix, bargain.

Probably hard reset/recovery mode/battery removal/disconnecting ribbon connectors will do the job.

First I plugged it to charger (genuine Samsung charger) - nothing on screen. Left it for nearly an hour - nothing.

I removed the back cover and hey - the sticker on battery was ripped, which means that he actually TRIED to repair it, so mislead me in his answers.

Tried to power it on - pressed power button for few seconds and heard short (maybe 2 seconds) Samsung intro sound - then after just those 2 seconds it cut off and didn't turn on (screen still black).

So I tried Power + Vol Up, Power + Vol Down, Home + Vol Up + Power, Home + Vol Down + Power - nothing.

Tried tricking it by connecting to my PC - Windows recognized device but could't install drivers (my other Samsung devices connect without any problems). That didn't work as well.

What I also did is I opened my other Tab S 8.4 and swapped batteries (the other one works perfectly) - still nothing.

Have you got any ideas what might be wrong with it?

I think I've done everything possible in attempt to fix it, but nothing works.

I think it's a hardware issue and in any way not caused by firmware update.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Seems like there are a lot of new software titles and plug ins available, but I have yet to see any real good Text ( SMS) software that would replace the default wM6 texing software.. If anyone would have any links or suggestions where I could find something better than the default I would appreciate it.. The Default is boring compared to all the other cool software out there.. thanks

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aahsan001:
Hi there,

Need a help of someone good at working with G4 unlocking. Here is the story of whole problem.

I bought an LG G4 from my local market. At the time of purchase it was rooted but not updated, so I thought to update it. I tried to flash it with Marshmallow kdz available at storage cow with H81520B_00, but may be I flashed my phone with wrong kdz file (as I was not aware of matter at that moment) which was not supported by my phone's model as my phone was H815T (HKG version). The flashing of wrong KDZ file changed the ESN, IMEI & MEID of the phone and replaced them with something that is blacklisted in international phone database. because of this reason now whenever I try connect my phone to the network with the sim installed, it doesnt show any connectivity and displays that service is disabled on the phone.

After this incident, I re-flashed my phone with correct kdz available for H815T model but the problem still persists.

Then in many forums I tried to find the solution to revert back my phone's ESN, IMEI & MEID back to the values printed on the back sticker of my phone pasted under the battery. Somehow I was successful to revert the IMEI of the phone back to original but I am unable to change the ESN and MEID values.

I have tried many ways. I tried to use EFS Explorer of QPST but in that, I found that the NV folder which includes the ESN and MEID values is locked and by applying all my efforts and searching everywhere, I am still unable to unlock this folder.

I tried DFS CDMA Tool, it shows my phone's info properly, but when I try to write the old values to my ESN and MEID areas, it says that the values have been written successfully, but when I try to read the values again to check whether they have really successfully written or not then the tool shows the previous corrupted values again.

I tried EFS Professional & CDMA workshop for the same reason and it too showed the same response as DFS.

I need a help from someone who can guide me that how can I unlock the NV folder of my phone and write the correct values of ESN and MEID of my phone back to it so that it can connect to the cellular network.

Apart from cellular network connectivity, all the functionality of the phone is perfectly fine.

Exactly same problem with my G4, only difference is that it connects to network and disconnects again and again. I am able to make/recieve call and sms when outdoors. Ut randomly drops signals even outdoors :(

I wanted to return to MIUI after playing with CM14. I flashed newest Xiaomi.EU MIUI rom, previously used Advanced Wipe to delete system, dalvik, data and cache. I installed it but now I got message that there is 'no OS installed, are you sure want to power off?'. What should I do now?

[Moto Z Accessories] thefatalepic:
I have searched high and low and I can't seem to find a Bumper style case that will let me use Mods. The clear one that comes with the Moto Z is perfect, but it's ugly. Am I missing something, am I the only one that desperately needs this?

Judging from what's available, and some reviews I've read, the popular perspective is that you either use Mods or use a case, but not both.

I have a tendency to put my phone down on it's screen, so I just need something that elevates it from the surface. I also have a tendency to drop my phone and the bumper cases I've had in the past have saved me from that pesky insurance deductible.

Will we ever see a Bumper case that protects the screen and edges while allowing us to swap out Mods? Is there already something available hiding in the dark corners of the interwebs?
[Moto Z Accessories] swejuggalo:
https://www.incipio.com/cases/smart...roid-cases/moto-z-droid-co-molded-bumper.html

As good as it gets. You put it on from the back. High edges around the screen. But also a edge around the back preventing fast and quick swap of mod without removing bumper too.
[Moto Z Accessories] thefatalepic:
Do you own this? Is it difficult to press the volume and power buttons because they are covered by the bumper?

I'm going to miss being able to fast swap Mods but if this will fit with any Mod attached then this is definitely what I need.

Edit: The only review I've found states that the charging port does not line up correctly and it constantly slips off. Honestly it sounds like they bought it for the wrong phone but I'd love to hear if anyone has something good to say about this bumper...
[Moto Z Accessories] tgmotoman:
I have this. The buttons on the bumper feel like metal to me and make excellent contact with the normal buttons. They are a little stiffer to push, but that makes accidental off button pushes less likely to happen.

The oem cord easily fits in the hole for the charger. I am not sure if this is the same case as the verizon one. The incipio case is very good, if not a bit expensive.

edit: It is also a very sniff case, does not shift or move at all.
[Moto Z Accessories] thefatalepic:
You two convinced me, thank you!
[Moto Z Accessories] swejuggalo:
No real problems with it. Haven't had it in a pocket pulling it up and down with any force though.

I had it in perfect fit around the charging port first time I mounted it. Then I wanted to check something and removed it and now it's slightly to the side. That seems to be a mounting issue rather than a bad fit.

Nice bumper but not perfect. Still... The best thing to use with mods so far.
[Moto Z Accessories] squallz506:
The Verizon bumper works fine for me. Some type c cables are a bit wide and need to be seated properly, but otherwise exactly what you described that you needed. I swap between the Incipio wireless off grid and the JBL sound mod often and don't have to remove the bumper to do so.
[Moto Z Accessories] 41LY45:
I'm just using the included plastic bumper in the unlocked US version of the Z.

Glad to hear that there's a proper one from Incipio aside from the VZW bumper.
[Moto Z Accessories] thefatalepic:
The included plastic one works great but is ugly IMO. I wish it were a flat black. I'm considering spraying it with Plasti Dip.

Just going to leave this here.

http://www.androidauthority.com/oneplus-3-officially-discontinued-us-europe-729580/

If this is indeed true how long will OnePlus continue to support and develop for a device they no longer sell?

And I really hope this is not true.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] derdjango:
They already confirmed that both phones will be on the same schedule regarding updates.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Explorer23:
Yup, here's the article:

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
Time will tell on this one.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
It will be very interesting to see what path OP take now, they are sending out very mixed messages about the OP3 and this is not good at all.

I don't care if I cannot buy the phone anymore as long as they support it and develop for it as if it's STILL their flagship phone.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
It's OnePlus don't expect any miracles, I love the device but so many draw backs within the company, software etc... makes me look past the pricing and should just stay with Pixel no compromises, OTA + Source on time no bs, My first and last OP device :eek:
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] abhibnl:
Well considering the two devices are really similar and i don't think the development on s820/s821 is that different, the support will not die. OP knows OP3 is a successful phone and abandoning it within few months will mean they have lost valuable customers. OP 3T is a ****ty move from them, no doubt, and they have lost me as a customer for sure.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gwiel:
Coming from a developer (you make the no-root CM version, right?) does that mean you don't think community development will continue as is has before?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
It will continue but it still needs OP to release the source code in a timely fashion, to update the blobs for the hardware to better support the camera, graphics, cpu and my concerns are despite what they say support will dry up it's just a matter of when.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
They are different enough to annoy some very well known dev's such as flar2 who develops elementalx and boeffla who develops kernels also for cm13/14/oos.

If the dev's say they will no longer purchase a oneplus then that's 2 or 3 or even more who will leave for pixel or other devices.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hudrator:
It's the first time for me, a manufacturer is reasoning an upgrade with high demand and getting parts faster to produce more devices... Especially as they were saying that the display was the troublemaker... Not the SoC, not the battery and not the front camera...
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] KornY10:
Dont think so, the oneplus 3 gets Support the whole Street.

Question is only what the Developers will do, will they leave for the op3t or will they stay. Think they could stay and Release there Kernels for the op3t also. Should be not so much difference or?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ninguem98:
Can we cry right now?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] fanbogo:
Ye only if you don't have op3 yet ;)

Devs here are to good to cry man
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MarcTremonti:
i dont see any point to cry. the support of every device ends somewhen, this isnt anything new right?

and as its said that updates for OP3 come along with updates for OP3T, the release of the OP3T basically changed nothing.

you can also say "RIP Phone X" as soon as its released because you know "Phone X 2" will come soon or later and the company will focus more on that new one.

so sorry but the title of this thread "[RIP] OnePlus 3" is nothing more than panicmongering without any base.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
Not when the device is replaced after 4 months... Plus they haven't been sticking to their software update timeline still waiting for last months Stable OTA (I guess working on official N) and mostly source code is delayed already which is angering devs that want to work on this device meaning even more delays now they working on the 3T. Really ****ty move by 1+..
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] danny b.:
If it's so than i never buying op phone ever again
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ephumuris:
I can't believe the butthurt going on.

I've had android phones for long enough now, including a few Chinese ones too. Buying any phone other than a Nexus/Pixel is a gamble when it comes to updates.

Buy a phone for how it is NOW, as it is now the OP3 works great. It's getting android N too. If they ended it with just android N I'm classing it as a win! Anything after that is a bonus.

And I can't wait for all the crying when they release the OP4 and people are saying "My OP3T is obsolete after only 5 months" and "Am I getting a refund I've been robbed because you released a new phone without telling me".

I've owned phones from HTC, Samsung, Motorola, Huawei, ZTE and more than I can remember.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] abhibnl:
Boeffla has already confirmed he is not buying 3T. No idea about flar2. I personally wanted to wait for a nexus but the Pixel prices just ruined my dream of owning a Nexus phone, lol.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
I was hoping they would do a scheme like apple early upgrade where you pay for it over 11 months then get a new phone on the 12th but hey no dice, shame really as I would never part with that much money for a phone if I had to buy it out right.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] UniquityProject:
Doesn't matter if we're here to support it ;)

But seriously, they have said many times on social media they are not dropping support for the Oneplus 3 and will continue to release regular updates along with the 3T. When they eventually do drop support, it seems it will not be too difficult to port ROMs to the 3 due to similarities in hardware. :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hw4ng3r:
flar2 has also confirmed no 3T support for his EX kernel.

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hudrator:
[MENTION=1413495]Hw4ng3r[/MENTION]

And flar2 will not buy or recommend an OP again. So one big fellow lost... Let's see if other will follow
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] EP2008:
Considering they've needed to consolidate software teams due to their stretched resources, I don't believe for a second that they'll be supporting the OP3 for long.

It would make so sense for them to on a device that lasted less than 6 months.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ritchiedrama:
How are you here to support it exactly? You made a post with some screenshots after like 6 months of the OP3 being out and you've produced nothing.

Take that comment as you will, but its the truth.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spliffman1:
RIP Nexus. Google killed the nexus line, also no longer being produced FYI
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] LELBOT:
this story will follow in India aswell, when their stocks ends up, then they will release op3t in indian market saying op3 discontinued and OnePlus fanbois will follow them.

idk y they aren't publishing any news regarding india release.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jim262:
In all dealings, whether it be an RMA to replace or tech support, I have always been dealt with better any other phone manufacturer. Their turn around times have always been fast and they have kept me apprised of any and all activity that happened with my phone. Their software is as close to stock Android as you can get. They also have a community build and there are all sorts of third party development here at XDA. There have several updates already. Hardware wise the 3T is almost identical to the 3, so many of the things will be interchangeable with the 3 and 3T. This won't be much different than when the note 4 came out with its T3.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
Sorry *Pixel* To me is still a Nexus just a name change..
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] null0seven:
Let's say, you buy 3t. In febr. 2017 they launch, let's say, OnePlus 4. 3t will be dumped too, wright? It's too old...:o
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masteryates:
I totally agree ephumuris :highfive:

My OP3 running stock 3.2.7 runs like a champ and I therefore am not pressing the update button every day eagerly waiting for the update. I don't mind if N comes in 6 months time as long as its solid without massive bugs. (Remember Lollipop 5.0, 5.0.1 & 5.02? :crying:)

When I bought a phone with flagship specs for half the price, I never expected support to be that good and would have bought the Pixel if I wanted the bang up to date OS.

The only thing I really expect from One Plus is to keep the phone up to date with security patches and also class anything above Android N as a win. :angel:
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] android.reddy143:
This too bad ..they have released a op3 6 months not even complete..and the product announced for discontinued....it's degradation of one pluse product lifecycle...

Better we should not opt for op.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
If they continue to support it with updates/patches at the same time as the 3T then I could not care if it's produced still or not. But time will tell if they stick to their word on this.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paradoxxx:
That is exactly why I left the OnePlus 3 few days ago.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spliffman1:
OK, to most of us the Pixel has departed from the great Nexus tradition. The price alone is a strong indicator of that.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mharis05:
Question is... why would you not buy a device for $40 more which has:

- Better front facing camera (like 2x better - 16MP are you kidding me?!)

- Better-ish Processor

- Better Battery

- (for chinese model - Better LTE support)

Only thing that OP3 has and the OP3T doesn't is the Graphite Color. But even for that, the Gun Metal looks kick ass.

Continuing OP3 production will be a stupid decision for OnePlus. I'd rather want it discontinued instead of seeing it being offered on an (even) lower price. It will kill the resale of my device.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
Yup my thoughts too, Don't want the to pull some **** like they did with OP2..

I only care for timely updates few months is fine and source code with those OTA

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

Yeah I agree on that,But price aside development is second to none on google devices plus the best experience on android
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spliffman1:
Early updates yes, sometimes also means early bugs.:).... But "best android experience" is completely subjective. And development for OP phones is not far behind, more than adequate, more than most. But as others have said, they are continuing support for op3, simultaneously with the 3T, so I don't understand the big "hurt, and betrayed" sentiments expressed here. Our phone has just become a collectors item :p
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bhavstech:
I cant seem to understand why people are fearing

OnePlus confirmed the same update schedule so the phone wont be left behind in updates and hence sources

Plus we have official CyanogenMod support so

We have cm sources as a backup

Opo still getting nougat via cm so development wont die even if op drops support (that wont be for a year atleast)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
I'm fearing what they did with op2 almost a whole year with out the MM OTA I don't want the to release N and abandon the OP3 in favor of OP3T and then few months abandon that for OP4 or whatever they call it, Why I don't believe anything they say. Like they hyped OP3 being dev friendly source is still delayed no source for CB list goes on...

I don't care for the hadware as I bought on release day still to see a better phone for £309.. So OP3T doesn't bother me I can see why others feel betrayed you buy something and few months later a better product comes if we knew OP3T was coming none of use would of bought OP3

Just hope they stick to their word and hype they built this phone upon :good:
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bhavstech:
We always have cm to hold our back

Op2 has no nougat update yet

Still it got cm14 fast

So we can rely on cm sources

The only fear is that no new devs can join

But we have op3t ports plus the devs here are enough and wont switch

Many may have just bought it a month back
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jim262:
Is it any different than any other manufacturer when they come out with a new device? No. Has there already been a beta Nougat build released for the OP3? Yes. Are people worrying needlessly. Yes.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
1. I switched to android in 2010 not seen 1 OEM replace a flagship in 5 months.., 2. We don't have N officially 3. This post explains why we should be worried unless people don't care for development then doesn't apply to those users
