Hello guys,

After buying this phone i would like to try the nougat but whitout success...i unlocked the bootloader and started the process but ended up verry bad i guess.

Because bootloader was unlocked i couldn't use eRecovery to still get the old firmware back so i locked the bootloader again and put the UPDATE.APP inside of dload folder in my sd card and restart the phone and did go to eReceovery and everything went good 10min ~....

After the 100% my phone did go to blackscreen and only fastboot reconize the phone no more screen on my phone...

Model : Huawei VNS - L31 3GB

Any idea's i still get the firmware back somehow ?

Has anyone been able to find the flashlight brightness configuration file? In previous Xperia handsets, flashled_calc_parameters.cfg file could be modified to get the flashlight brightness to the same level as the camera flash. However, in the X, it seems that they've moved it. The stock settings for the flashlight brightness are just too low!

[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] Phenom727:
Hello folks,

Data wasn't working for Total Wireless on my Verizon Moto G4 Play XT1609. APN settings are missing on the phone, so you'll need the app below to add the proper APN settings on your phone. After a couple days of searching on the net, I couldn't find anything that worked, so here's what I did that finally worked for me.

Download Change APN from the Google Play Store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.appando.app.changeApn&hl=en

================================================================

Open Change APN app and tap the + sign to add your APN settings for Total Wireless.

[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] mkollersms:
How did you make this work when the 1609 doesn't accept EDGE or HSPAP?
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] Phenom727:
I didn't do anything...

1. I unlocked the phone (on ebay)

2. I used a sim from a TW phone

3. I used Change APN app to add apn settings

4. Restarted the phone and all was good.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] pegb856:
Total wireless is a Verizon mvno not GSM.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] mkollersms:
I'm aware, but EDGE and HSPAP are strictly GSM. What I'm asking is how those settings even worked, especially when so many units are suffering from the APN crash inherent to all ROMs right now.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] Phenom727:
I'm specifically speaking about the Verizon Moto G4 Play XT1609 version phone. I ported my sister over from H2O to Total Wireless. I used a TW sim to activate to a TW 4G phone. I then took that sim and popped it into the Moto G4 Play. My sister reported that data wasn't working, so I installed Change APN app from Google Play store..

I added the TW apn settings from above into the Change APN app, saved it, restarted the phone and all was good. Obviously you're not going to have data & voice work simultaneously, but you can use Hangouts Dialer to get around that if needed. I hope that clears up any confusion.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] pegb856:
He's using the Verizon Prepaid Moto G4 Play, it is a CDMA /LTE device. No EDGE or HSPA. I hope this clarifies his use of a Verizon G4 Play on a VZW mvno.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] mkollersms:
No, it does not. Look at the original post. The OP put GSM settings in an APN for a CDMA device. Please stop patronizing me and explain how in the hell that works, when we have not one, but FOUR threads where people cannot get Verizon APNs to work.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] pegb856:
My apologies, I guess I misunderstood your question. I thought you were asking how he got a GSM phone to work with Total wireless.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] mrtnrz8:
So you would recomend buying the unlock code before doing any of this? Also, did you have the G4 Play activated on Verizon Prepaid before you did all this?
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] Phenom727:
I'm not understanding what you're trying to say. The apn settings are for Total Wireless, a Verizon MVNO. I'm not or was not suggesting the phone would work for GSM networks. The Change APN app only allows you to edit/add apn settings, and those are the apn settings I found and used for Total Wireless.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] Phenom727:
Yes, unlock the phone first. I did not activate the phone at all with Verizon, but I did use an active TW sim card. Be sure not to turn the phone on with the Verizon Prepaid sim before getting the phone unlocked.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] mrtnrz8:
Too late, already activated. Do you think there may be problems trying to get the phone to work with TW? I ran the IMEI number through their website and it said the phone is compatible.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] Phenom727:
No, you shouldn't have any trouble with activating it on TW, but you still might need to unlock it, which only costs $2 or less on eBay. Good luck!
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] mkollersms:
There are multiple problems with what you are saying. First, Total Wireless is a subsidiary of America Movil, same as Tracfone, StraightTalk, Net10, TelCel and Family Mobile. Considering I just had to fight with Tracfone to get a VZW APN (on a different phone) to work yesterday, the APN name was VZWINTERNET but it lacked some of the text strings you supplied, and could not be edited by the user. It also seemed to vanish after the phone was programmed properly.

The "Bearer" line shouldn't look like that. Most carriers and MVNOs leave it as "Not Set" or unspecified. So this is junk data the phone will discard at best or be confused by at worst. My concern was that those settings would be rejected by Verizon and you wouldn't be able to obtain an IP address, since similar things can and have happened on the AT&T side (which is what my primary uses).

And once again, this doesn't exactly fix things for those using the 1607 model. People have tried your trick extensively, but the ROMs currently being used are Dual SIM and don't recognize CDMA technology as being valid. As such, they either get Voice/NoData, or Data/NoVoice. They're not reading MEIDs or IMEIs correctly, favoring one over the other, and that's what we believe to be part of the problem. So forgive me for being cynical about this.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] mrtnrz8:
So is there a difference between the 1607 and 1609 models? The one I have is the 1609 Verizon prepaid bought at Walmart.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] Phenom727:
I'm just telling you what I did for my sister's Verizon Prepaid Moto G4 Play XT1609 phone on Total Wireless. Anyone with the same exact model phone should be able to replicate what I did. Maybe this will not work on other models, but it worked for me using the Change APN app using those EXACT apn settings. I don't see why you would be so cynical about this, and I only posted this to help others out that may have the same issue I had, nothing more, nothing less buddy.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] Phenom727:
Here's where I found the TW apn settings that worked for me. https://www.reddit.com/r/NoContract/comments/4pkhoh/total_wireless_4g_apn_settings/
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] mkollersms:
1607 has both a GSM/LTE and a CDMA/LTE antenna. 1609 only has a CDMA/LTE antenna and its LTE bands are locked to a smaller range.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] mrtnrz8:
So if TW is an MVNO of Verizon, shouldn't this phone work with their service by just changing the APN settings, as Phenom727 suggests?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
Hi All,

I was researching for a tablet that would work on T Mobile USA ( insert my current sim, will t mobile charge more? ) LTE network as well as allow me to make and receive phone calls using the headphones.

It appears the Z4 wifi LTE version is the one. Is there any other models/brands cheaper priced that would suffice?

Many thanks
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legendindisguise:
I have an unlocked international Z4 tablet now and am using my T Mobile sim in for data usage. Unfortunately mine does not have the native phone app on it so I cannot make traditional phone calls, but can use hangouts no problem. My bill did not change, just put the sim in, made sure the APN settings were correct and I have not had an issue.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
Wow, thanks for chiming in appreciate it. I was looking on Amazon, and most questions I found and answered were that this model could dial out directly.

I was under the impression that US specific models were disabled to make calls but no the international versions.

Any other users possibly care to chime in and let me know if you can make calls with the Z4 SGP771 LTE +WIFI model?

Just came across this post on sony website..

[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legendindisguise:
I got the same response from Sony when I sent them a message asking about the phone app.

"I just received information that in the country where your SGP711 was sold, i'm afraid SGP771 does not have a built-in dialer and support for phone calls"

I have seen that you can flash firmware or different builds and supposedly this will have the default phone app.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
I could be wrong, but I think its the SIM card / Network disabling the dialer perhaps. Glad I didnt cough up that much money , appreciate your reply a lot. :good:

You could flash any international ROM for the Tablet or get hold of a dialer app.

FWIW: I am on the wifi version of the tablet (SGP 712) but just for the fun of it tried VOIP successfully. I use a phone for cell usage and VOIP.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
Yes, but I primarily wanted to know if the LTE has a dialler , not VoIP.

According to Sony USA the us spec one does support voice via cellular, not sure I believe them however. Any have Xperia Z4 Tablet Sgp771us/B 1303-5541

?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myhrdak:
i think it won´t depend on whether it has a dialer or not. the lte version is capable of making phone calls - period.

if the dialer was disabled or deleted so easily flash an international rom version (very easy with flash tool) or

install a dialer of you choice from the play store
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
Below is the version I recently bought from an amazon seller open box / used as their new stock was sourced form S Korea and apparantly is dialler disabled. My version I believe is to be from China / HK region.

Below is the one I managed to find that has the dialler enabled ( got lucky ) Using Xperia Service Menu App from playstore:

customization ver 1296-4830 R9C

phone software: 1292-0698_32.2.A.0.305

[Samsung Gear S2] jsulmeyer:
I have been unable to find ANY information about the life expectancy of the batteries in the S2 Classic and the S3 Classic. I even called Samsung and not only could they not give me an answer, but they could not tell me the cost or procedure of having the battery replaced when the time comes. All they could tell me is that I could expect to spend a minimum of @ $70 - their customary out-of-warranty service charge. If I'm going to spend $300 or $350 for a gizmo with a non-user-removable battery, I'd like to know a) the life expectancy, cost and procedure of having that battery replaced. It's one thing to buy an expensive watch for that price that you are going to have for forty years; it's another to spend it on a watch that you'll need to replace in two years. I realize it's wearable tech, not jewelry, but still...

If anyone can help with the info I'm looking for, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Many thanks!

[Samsung Gear S2] Redflea:
Smart watches use the same battery tech as mobile phones...use that as your battery life proxy.

Battery life is a combination of how often you charge the battery, and how far you deplete it between charges, so no one can tell you what your battery life will be, but you can find great information here to help you understand more about that: http://batteryuniversity.com/

In my experience after 2-3 years my smartphones' batteries have seemed to start to lose some of their "ooomph" (not last as long) and I would expect the batteries in Smartwatches to behave similarly.

Finally, the idea that you'll still want to stick with your S2 in 2-3 more years (any more than most of us keep a smart phone for >2 to 3 years) seems very unlikely - the improvements that are going to come over that time frame to smartwatch features and form-factor (including likely better battery life!) would seem to make the "how long is this battery going to last") question a moot point in most cases. By the time it's starting to wane, you're shopping for a new watch anyway...

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cid6.7:
Ok here's the scoop I have a Note 4 SM-N910W8 On Bell

A month or so ago for some odd reason it stopped connecting to any of my pc's with known good cable, so something went wrong with the MTP USB setting although it was enabled in phone settings. It did charge when plugged in to PC tho.

So the phone is rooted with TWRP & I wanted the stock recovery to try & fix the USB issue, so I downloaded Flashify & tried installing the stock recovery BUT now something also went wrong with the flash.

Now the phone will not boot to OS nor will it boot into recovery mode. It will however boot into ODIN Download mode, but this does me no good because it still will not connect to my PC.

Here's what happens when I try & boot when I press just the power button. The Samsung screen flashes for just a second & @ the top left in Blue it says RECOVERY BOOTING......

Could not do normal boot

Odin mode (High speed)

Product name: sm-n910w8

Current binary: custom

System status custom

Reactivation lock: off

Knox warranty void 0x1 (4)

qualcomm secureboot: enable (csb)

APswrev s1, r1, a1, p1

secure download : enable

udc start

I also get the exact same screen when I try & go into recovery (3 button up) mode, & when the phone is off then plugged into PC.

Once its plugged into pc I get no sound that Win7 has recognized it nor is anything to do with it in Device Manager.

3 button down odin mode works as normal but obviously my pc still does not recognize it..

Because it will not connect to ODIN is there anything I can do to fix this phone..?? :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Please help if you can in any way.

Thank You !!

EDIT: I'm also pretty sure it had the Emotion Kernel on it if that helps any

I am happy I could create an Extreme Power Saver shortcut in home screen for HTC U11/10/M9/M8 and I would like to share how I accomplished that.

1) Download, install and run application QuickShortcutMaker from Google Play Store.

2) Search for "power" in Activities tab, expand power and click on "ExtremePowerSaverConfirmActivity" as shown in the attachment in this thread.

3) Optionally change label or icon if you like. (One sample icon image is attached below)

4) Then click "Create" (note that "Try" option will not work).

5) Test the new shortcut to set EPS automatically from home screen!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retro486:
Is there a kind of LTS (long term support) ROM that regularly backports kernel and OS security patches? Kind of like a 6.0.1 with January 2017 patch level? I know I can install most ROMs without GApps (Slimroms is probably my favorite) but most of these ROMs base either off AOSP or CM/LOS which also base off AOSP, so when Google stops patching AOSP, these downstream ROMs stop getting security patches.

I don't really care for Android N as I'm perfectly happy with M but would like to squeeze another year or two out of it.

Just curious if such a thing exists; I'm sure it's no small feat to backport security patches, but it's something I'm very interested in to get the most life out of what's still an excellent device. This likely applies to many other devices as well (N4, N5, OPO, others who have been retired for reason other than money).

Edit: I should add that I'm aware of new tags, such as https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/+/android-6.0.1_r78 but these seem to stop roughly two years out and don't really seem to have a guarantee of when they'll stop being updated. I'm looking to extend that two year mark to three or four years.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Android doesn't do LTS like Ubuntu. If you want to have the most current security updates, you'll have to update to Android 7.1.1. Security updates will continue for another 12 months.

It would be cool if there was a custom ROM that implemented something like this; not necessarily android per se, but sometimes, especially in an enterprise environment this would be a great idea.
