[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilovali:
Hello,

Does anybody know if there is a big difference in power consumption of 3G or 4G? Every chipset is different, and I'm unable to find the power usage of both modems.

I am using a provider that uses 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz for LTE and 900+2100 MHz for 3G.

I am getting full bars almost everywhere. On 3G and 4G.

I've locked the 4G frequency on 900 MHz-only, so my phone doesn't switch between frequenties and that I always have the best reception.

Kind regards,

Pilovali
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
LTE uses less power on the SD410 SOC in most cases... there is no need to lock the frequency either, the phone and tower will agree on the best signal, although the one you are using now may seem like the best, it is may not be in all conditions, buildings, interference areas, etc.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilovali:
Alright, that's what I wanted to know. I'll keep my Moto G on LTE then :)

I always thought that 3G uses less power than LTE.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
It used to be that way... Go back to HTC Rezound or Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE days and yes, LTE radios would suck a battery dry in no time, but modern SOCs are far more efficient.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilovali:
Alright, thanks for the feedback!

How can you close a thread, btw?

Hey guys,

I have looked but for some reason it's difficult to find information on this topic.

Sometimes I need to write in Slovak language on my Android 6 phone. However, it seems neither the AOSP keyboard nor GBoard have the ability to type with diacriticals (accented/national characters). The SK keyboard is identical to the EN one.

I tried SwiftKey but that seemed to slow down my phone and make it less stable. Is there any way to add languages with national characters to the standard keypad? (Preferably to the AOSP one.)

My 2nd question is about the reverse. AOSP keypad offers no word suggestions when the language is set to SK. GBoard and SwiftKey do, but only WITH accented characters. However most of the time when I type even in SK, I still don't want to use accented characters.

Is there any way to use a national dictionary (again preferably in AOSP) but have all the accented characters replaced with the standard A-Z? (E.g. č->c; é->e.) Even my old candybar phone with T9 had that ability 12 years ago and I miss it :/

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Oh sh*t posted in the wrong forum, sorry!! Please move to Q&A, I had multiple tabs opened and confused them :(

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] bert1994:
Hey guys

having some problem flashing a stock system.img to my phone. I try to get back to Mashmellow to get my phone back to stock. Currently its rooted and unlocked.

I downloaded the following zip:

Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L09_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C432B131_Western Europe.zip

I unzipped it and extracted all Images from the UPDATE.APP file.

Flashing cust.img, recovery.img, and recovery2.img is no problem. Problem is when flashing system.img

It always says

[root@arch honor8]# fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending sparse 'system' 1/6 (435393 KB)...
OKAY [ 11.022s]
writing 'system' 1/6...
FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)
finished. total time: 11.056s
[root@arch honor8]#

[root@arch honor8]# fastboot --version

fastboot version 7.1.1_r13

Phone is unlocked

FRP is unlocked

Flashing recovery works:

[root@arch Downloads]# fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-frd.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (24884 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.630s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.327s]
finished. total time: 0.957s

TWRP tells me, that it cannot mount system. When restoring a backup with TWRP it works: it writes the system to the flash.

After restore I can reboot into Android again. Unfortunately I tried to installe the latest OTA (B380) which bricked my camera for some reason and makes the system itself kinda buggy.

Does anyone have an idea, how I get out of this situation?

It won't work this way. I wasted so much time trying. You have to use the rollback procedure to get your phone working again. Search the forum for it, it's been documented pretty well. Good luck
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] flame-tetra:
I was wondering if it would be at all possible to port the stock camera app from the H830 for use on AOSP roms, and if so, how would one go about doing so.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nick216ohio:
From what I heard from around here is basically not going to happen.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] flame-tetra:
Any idea why? Is it a nougat thing? I saw where someone had made a port of the marshmallow version for the G4.

I forget exactly why. If you go into 1 of rom threads and they explain it. Maybe someone here that knows more then me could explain to him?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hmagnum:
(Note: I've posted this on reddit as well, but it seems that that place is kinda dead. Wanted to post here first but login page was unavailable for some reason)

So here is how it all started. The only way I managed to root my LG G3 Stylus was with kingroot.

After a few hours of attempts at flashing a custom recovery and a new rom I was successful. Using tools found on the internet, I removed kingroot and added SuperSU (which took some effort but ended up working)

Now, a bunch of apps keep installing themselves on my phone. UC News, a "whatsapp" (which only opens ads) and from time to time the phone asks to install random apps. Even with unknown sources disabled it still installs UC news and "whatsapp"

Some ads open on any screen available, including homescreen (which open a HD PLAYER app which is not in any place for me to remove)

I've used malware and adware removals, anti virus apps, cleaner master, and others. Right now, after I deleted some folders on the main disk, "whatsapp" and uc news disappeared, but they always come back.

An "app" called system settings (or something like that, with the android icon on it) keeps opening ads on every possible moment as well , and that app + uc news and "whatsapp" keep coming back. Anything I forgot to try to remove them?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharates:
Hello,

My phone was stolen :crying: and I recovered it back formatted only 1hour after robbery so there is no way he could write on its intenal memory so I had some hope :angel: to recover my files. I rooted my phone and tried Dr.phone with nothing to get back so I tried to use recuva but internal memory does not show up as partition :rolleyes: .

When I connect old phone like galaxy s2 it shows internal memory as a hard disk so I can use recuva to get deleted files from internal memory. I can't do that with note 3 as it show note 3 partition first and I have to go inside it to view memory so recuva does not recognize it.

Please help guys I know you are mobile geniuses and no one could help me except you.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cottinghamm:
During typing I often get to a point where the 7500 thinks that I have pressed a combination of keys to get the Caps Lock on, only it won't stop. I can't find a combination of keys to turn Caps Lock off & can only reset the device.

Does this affect anyone else ?

Any help ?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Confucious:
The 'red dot' (bottom left on keyboard) and shift key turn caps ON or off.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] miterb:
Now, when it comes to the 7501, the red dot is 'blue'. Also, to set caps lock on and off, you have to hold down the Shift Key and touch the Blue Dot key!

Thanks for your tip on the combination, though, as it caused me to reverse what to me would be the normal procedure, ie hold the Blue Dot key down and touch the Caps Lock key which never would work for me.

Roelof
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cottinghamm:
True (on mine a blue dot) but it only turns it off for one character and then goes back to Caps Lock, that's why I am saying it is stuck on, I have tried all key combinations to make it go away.

It may just be my machine.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] miterb:
HOLD DOWN the shift key and then touch the Blue Dot key. Locks caps on and off alternately when you do it.

Once I managed to lock the numeric/special character keys on but can't find the combination again
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] miterb:
I just checked the User Manual and it is all messed up with respect to Upper Case/Lower Case. I do not find that having the soft keyboard set to caps does anything on my device.

Brad
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] patrickl:
This happens to me a lot too. It happens when I press shift and then quickly another key (also only when the Athena is reacting slow already because of whatever it's doing in the background or so). For some reason it sees the other key as that pressed the shift key again. After that it doesn't swith off easily.

I find that it switches back off when I double press the Shift key and then a regular key. That one is still in caps, but then the caps is off.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cottinghamm:
This sounds like the same behavious I am getting (I am not dismissing the other posts here, but I am not new to XDAs and I know how to turn CL off under normal circumstances) - the 7500 simply keeps itself in CL even when you turn off on the keyboard. I also think it is when I am typing quickly (if that is really possible on this kb).

I'll try this solution next time it happens, but I am sure that this is a bug.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cottinghamm:
Doesn't work for me. Strangely I had Transcriber mode on (I write a lot) and trying to change back to keyboard doesn't work. There is something wrong with the input somewhere, a re-flash is required over the weekend I think.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] patrickl:
I get CAPS-lock when I pres shift and then quickly just about any other key (double shift or a letter). Seems like it has to be timed just right and then it happens. The same combination will switch it back off again. Although again, it seems to need to be timed just right. I only get it once in a while.

Have you tried "dot" and then "shift" to switch the caps lock off again?

Hello, I have a Gear S3 Classic BT with a Oneplus 3 (LineageOs, last nightly).

Everything works except for making/receiving calls, it just says something like "check device" when I rotate the bezel to accept a call and does nothing when I try to start a new one.

Is there a way to fix it?

[Nexus 6P Accessories] swa100:
Hey all,

I know that there are some USB c to c labels out there are unsafe because of the high amperage and the fact that some cables out there 'remember' the last voltage/amperage that has gone through, so you can have the chance of overcharging. But how's this with cheap USB a to c cables? I got a (probably) cheap one with my secondhand 6P a few months ago and I kinda need one right know since we're have another USB C phone in this house starting Monday.

I would like to hear your thoughts!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] swa100:
Ah, I seem to be wrong. It's the USB a to c cables that are the dangerous ones.

Edit: nvm, they both can be dangerous :').

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] _KillersEnergy_:
I recently bought a huawei phone(P9), since i never had a huawei phone, is there any unofficial method for unlocking the bootloader?

I've read about dc-unlocker, does it give you the unlock code without voiding the warranty or it's like doing it officially?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] furkey:
Actually bootloader unlocking methods are usually official and provided by manufacturers. However, since that procedure allows you to do some operations that may hurt your system, they have a user agreement that includes warranty things too. So it is not possible for anyone to stay with unlocked bootloader. However, you can lock it again in order to restore your warranty.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] MHBGT:
Actually, since all your phone's details are sent directly to Huawei to request the bootloader unlock, won't your warranty be automatically voided?

One of the reasons I've avoided going this route, as we have the "premium" 2 year warranty service with the P9 in my region.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] lostunsunghero:
If you buy through a network operator you may still be entitled to your warranty. I recently sent back a P9 to my network (Vodafone UK) with an unlocked bootloader through Huawei and they replaced my phone. Even had a stock image flashed and not their own ROM. The phone would not turn on for whatever reason (never did any kernal tweaking or installed a custom ROM, used the phone for about 3 months too without any issues). So I sent it to Vodafone UK for a warranty repair and had it back in my hands in 2 weeks no questions asked no extra fees. I just played dumb at the store and said it stopped working and didn't go into any further detail as to what the issue could be.

Your mileage may vary.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] MHBGT:
Yes, you are correct. The first year of warranty is with my service provider. The second year is through Huawei directly.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] furkey:
It is possible, but depends on which country you are in. In most of the countries (at least in mine) mobile phone warranties are handling by some local contractors, not by Huawei or Samsung themselves. Since there is no info share between them, the only way they can learn if you unlock the phones bootloader or not is look into it by the phone itself.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] MHBGT:
Aah I see. Does the HiCare app not display your warranty expiry info ?

PLEASE READ READ READENTIRE OP

"ALL MAJOR WORK DONE BY HASHCODE SO GO GIVE HIM SOM THANKS.DO NOT POST ANY BUG OR ISSUE COUSED BY THIS RECOVERY IN ORIGINAL THREAD BY HASHCODE, POST HERE AND I WILL HELP YOU."

CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:

BETA v4.05-B01 (NCG/NE9/NHA/NI2/NK2/4.4.X)

WHAT IS SAFESTRAP?

Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I'll call this "stock" system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a "2nd system" (in this case, it's a series of virtual ROM slots located on the internal emmc area: "/sdcard"). Once installed, you will see a "Splashscreen" giving you the option to hit "menu" to enter recovery. The recovery portion of Safestrap is now based on TWRP 2.6.1.0 (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here. The additional features I've added to TWRP are mostly located under the "Boot Options" menu:

Here you can create virtual ROM-slots (3-4 on the S5 due to partition size and internal space) for flashing ROMs. NOTE: The bigger you make the /data partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.

You can activate a new ROM-slot by choosing the slot you wish to make active and then selecting the "Activate" button. Once active, you will see the "rom-slot#" up in the top of the screen shown in green. If you make the "stock" ROM active, then you can see it in the top shown in red.

Once a ROM-slot is active, all actions you would normally perform using TWRP are directed to that ROM-slot. For example, "Install" to flash a .zip, backup and restore.

HOW DO I INSTALL SAFESTRAP?

Requirement: Root (systemless SuperSU)

[v4.05 Safestrap zip file]: Flash via FlashFire.

App version coming soon ...

HOW DO I ENTER RECOVERY?

During each reboot a splashscreen will be displayed showing whether the device is running a rom-slot or on the "Stock ROM".

Press the button shown on the screen to either enter "RECOVERY" or "CONTINUE" booting (or the hard button underneath each option).

Hi Guys,

My Kaiser arriving tomoz to replace aging m3100 (Orange TTyN), but as I share a business contract and need the Kaiser, we have needed to switch Sims on our phones, hence I only have a none-3g sim for my kaiser.

Question is thus;

Do I need it to be a 3G sim to use HSPDA? I understand HSPDA is 3g 1.5 or something, but wanted to clarify the issue.

If no good, how can I get a 3g sim into the phone but retain the number? Orange don't want to play ball, as I have suggested they can 'upgrade' the Sim with new code etc.? ( yes, a little knowledge is a very dangerous thing.. :) )

Any help and advice would be much appreciated..

Cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] chookz:
I phoned orange they sent new 3G sim two days ago though mine was on PAYG.

My old sim only got GPRS.

The new sim has a number to phone to register it. Follow the prompts...The rep will ask you for the new sim card number and apply it to your phone.

After you put the new sim card in you'll get a text telling you to switch the phone off then on... then presto HSDPA

Make sure you specify that you want a 3G sim card else they'll try and send you a normal one
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unwired4:
Yeah I dont follow at all...

Orange are anal about sim's with devices. You should register the new sim you get with your device and they will change it to your old number within a few hours.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] thebishops:
I'm running a Kaiser on T-Mobile and I get HSPDA whenever its available. I don't have 3G service so I think you should get the max Data connection available when its available.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stoo1701:
Thanks for tips Guys !

As I have found on other parts of these forums, plenty of great advice given quickly ! Cheers

Just to get this straight, as its a business phone and I cant screw it or lose my number...

Problem is, as I swapped phones with my Bro who I work with, there is already a phone using the number provided on the new sim... So I cant register the new sim.

Orange are ANAL about their sims, and ANAL about removing TouchFlo (Grrr) bunch of ANAL freaks if you ask me..

Anyhoo,

Could I register the sim, and give MY number, and they will register to that number? Orange Bod says there is NOTHING that can be done, NO WY to solve the situation, but you guys are so much smarter than them... ;)

Keep it coming ! Is it poss. to re-code the sim to 3g using a simcard reader? should I find out where Head orange guy lives and shake him warmly by the throat?
