Hi guys

Just wandering if anyone can throw some light on the reason my gear s3 refuses to voice dial, it understands my request no issues and displays the command on the screen

" Call dave" for example, the s3 hears it, displays it correctly

there is one contact with dave who has 1 number assigned

the s3 thinks for a second or 2 then displays " i did not get that" or " who do you want to call" it simply refuses to read contacts

stupid thing, it just displayed everything it needed but it just refuses to work, initially i thought contacts would be transferred to the watch, now i realise its a server thing but this has been like this now for a week since i got it so i cant see it being a server down issue

The phone i am using is a S7 edge with latest update and it is not running anything other than standard firmware and a square home from end, which is the w10 look

i tried resetting the watch but no joy, i tried changing the watch language to US no joy, checked the phone is syncing contacts to samsungs storage

and doing a search on the net actually brings up very little info on this issue

has anyone got any thoughts, here in the Uk having a device that voice dials whilst driving is a real must, i have BT in the car but dialing it is a pain so the watch would be a real help... if it would freakin work

TBH i wish i could use Cortana for voice assist, but that aint gona happen

The more i try different voice commands the more the issue points to lack of sync with contacts... what am i missing ?? just tried to send a text via voice and the s3 watch cant find any contacts

Hmm i had an almost whilst messing with the thing just now, i changed language from English auto to just English... now when i ask it to call a name the watch displays ( Contacts syncing ) that is as far as i have got, it still refuses to dial anyone, and checking my contacts in the watch they are all there
[Samsung Gear S3] da.trute:
i have a similar issue, when I say call XXX, its then says "syncing contacts" and sites there, If manually go into contacts and call someone its fine, why it decides it needs to sync contacts at this point I dont know, why, must be a bug.

Hello guys, how're you doing?

My Sony Xperia z1 started making me mad due to several problems.

PS: I'm running android 5.1.

1- Erratic touchscreen:

the touchscreen sometimes starts moving things (open app or notification bar etc...) without touching it

2- Battery

sometimes the battery drop by 10% or 15% randomly

3- Overheating:

my phone became hot after 2 minutes or using the camera!

so, I'm wondering if someone could help me fix one of those problems

sorry for my bad english

Thank in advance :D
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itemmaster:
ok, the camera overheating is normal if you're using it for long time, the battery may be for time of use this phone is 4 years old and battery begin to fail try some app to calibrate it if doesn't work replace it and screen touch have you change the screen? if change try to put a black wallpaper and test if the problem persist when you go to home( in developer options check the "show inputs" option and check), and try a stock rom to verify if problems remains.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammaminho24:
thank you for the reply bro!

1- The battery is JUST 2 years old!

2- My friend's Z1 start overheating after 10 minutes of using the camera, which is soo good. My phone is overheating after 2 minutes!

3 I'm using an original Rom, I'm not familiar with CFW on Sony! I tried the developpers option and found some problems in the corners of the screen and the phone ramdomly rebooted while I was testing it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itemmaster:
try to flash and do a full wipe then test it again if keeps the same it's probably a hardware problem, the touch can be minimize with screen protector but the battery an camera it's hard to manage.

sorry for my bad English it's not my native language
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammaminho24:
Allright bro, I'll give it a try. Actually, am not using a screen protector because I'm looking to fix this problem before buying a new screen protector.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilww96:
I'm having the same problem with my touchscreen, I can't use the phone for more than 5 minutes without having the need to turn it off and on again to go back to normal. This is making me very mad that I'm considering to change my phone to any deep **** cheap phone that has a good screen that I can use normally..

I don't know if it's a software related or hardware, I flashed stock frimware many times and nothing changed, I recently had an urge idea to remove the stock screen protector (that has sony logo) hoping that the problem will get solved, but I guess it won't..

If anyone has an idea to solve this I and OP would be very grateful..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itemmaster:
the screen touch is a hardware problem try to lower screen brightness and put a dark screensaver, it's somehow related with the contrast of the screen but not sure how to solve it completely the previously and a screen protector only make it usable but don't solve completely the issue.

sorry but that's all I know
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] veloc1ty:
Okay, managed to get Nougat and root for my BTV-DL09. Here is a fast forward tutorial how to do that.

I could only root it by using Magisk, Supersu (even the special emui5 ones) did not work for me.

Files:

ROM: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1224/g490/v78425/f1/full/update.zip (BTV-DL09C233B336)

Data: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...full/dualcu/cn/update_data_full_dualcu_cn.zip

TWRP, make sure to use twrp_BTV-DL09_5_greatslon.img : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634750327 (thanks to greatslon)

Root: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

I came from version BTV-DL09C100B006, this is how I did it:

Bootloader must be unlocked, custom recovery installed (Do not install the one for EMUI5 yet, it won't boot).

Enter recovery by adb reboot recovery

Wipe, reboot recovery

Flash ROM + Data

Flash Magisk Root

Flash Recovery again (will be overwritten by the udate)

Reboot, Done.

Download playstore / vending APK from APKmirror: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-7-6-08-release/ and transfer it on the device.

There is an app called "Downloads" preinstalled (there is pretty much nothing on the tablet, not even a browser after flashing it), you can use that to open/install the play store APK and get things going.

Please make sure you know what you are doing and you know how to recover from a soft brick. I take no responsibility if anything goes wrong.

The version you should have now is BTV-DL09C233B336 with security update from February included.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tom.android:
Thank you very much, and how to downgrade ?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] isaacmajdi:
can someone upload a youtube video showing us the the new EMUI5 on this tablet, and give us an overview about the new features and performance?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nicolap8:
Beware that:

1) this is a chinese ROM

2) Nougat version 7.0.0 :(

3) if you don't like the downgrade process is difficult

4) if you want to downgrade have to find another ROM!!!
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] drlsd:
any idea to downgrade please
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nicolap8:
You need another ROM, FULL not OTA.

1) extract from the .APP the recovery (both) and boot images

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2433454

2) get a build.prop from the ROM you want to install

3) copy the build.prop in the /system folder, overwriting the original: now the old ROM will unlikely boot!

4) go in fastboot mode and flash recovery, recovery2 and boot images

5) copy the update.app in the dload folder

6) reboot and maintain pressed both volume keys to start recovery

7) if you are lucky the recovery will install the ROM.

Of course you will loose all your data (uhm, not even but... MAKE A BACKUP before!)

If you don't know well how to do ALL this don't even try!

If you have the original european LTE ROM please share it!!!

Switched to eu rom, updated to nougat.. unlocked bootloader and rooted with magisk

But using magisk caused the fingerprint sensor not to work at all and there is no settings for the FP in the settings menu.

Uninstalled magisk and the fingerprint worked again but obviously I lost root.

Flashing SuperSU didn't work gives an error in twrp no matter what version I try.

Any idea on how to root without compromising the fingerprint sensor?? :/

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] djvinniev77:
Just a quick tip for anyone that is trying to recover from a brick or some other issue. I had a hard time getting things sorted out but if you do get a chance to get the original recovery.img and recovery2.img for this device, you can fastboot flash them back on to the unit, and then use the e-recovery option to have the tablet download the latest firmware available right from huawei (it asks to connect to wifi at e-recovery)

I managed to break my tablet trying to update magisk, it came back and stated the device is encrypted after reboot and I couldn't enter the proper password to decrypt (don't know which one, it doesn't like device pin like I thought it should)

after looking everywhere to try and get the proper/recent firmware, I managed to find a current file from huawei-firmware.com, (update.zip) but still couldn't install this with TWRP. Found the huawei firmware extractor and pulled the recovery.img and recovery2.img files from update.app which was in the update.zip.

reboot your tablet to bootloader mode by holding down power and vol down. in bootloader mode, flash the files with fastboot

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash recovery2 recovery2.img

reboot the device and hold vol up to get into recovery/e-recovery, connect to wifi and have it download and install the latest/proper rom for your device.

I believe recovery2 is the e-recovery that allows you to fix your device over wifi. the standard recovery image is supposed to be original android recovery? either way, as long as you get e-recovery back, you're good to get your rom.

I haven't checked if the official huawei rom locked bootloader again but at this state, I'm good, happy to get the tablet back up and running.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] emko7:
Any chance of this coming to the BTV-DL09? Or is the firmware completely different? All the roms seem to be only for the Lite version for some reason :/
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pianoplayer88key:
Hi all ...

So I have a bootlooping LG G4 H811, running Marshmallow. I've been able to get some data backed up to the SD card with the freezer method, with airplane mode enabled and WiFi off. But, I don't have all I want yet. Some things missing include Chrome history, bookmarks, open tabs, possibly WiFi passwords, SMS/MMS messages, voicemails saved on the phone, and other things.

I'd like to root the phone, so I can use Titanium Backup to back everything up. For good measure, I might also use ES File Explorer to copy everything in "/" to my 128GB SD card (except of course the SD card - can't really copy it to itself after all). Also I might want to try setting the CPU governor to powersave, or locking the max CPU frequency fairly low, to try to get back up & running temporarily with WiFi & out of the freezer.

A couple issues that stand in my way right now:

I want to root WITHOUT wiping data, so I can back up the data that I can't back up without root. I don't want to risk killing the phone / data by trying to extract an image & reflashing it after injecting root, or something like that.

I can't turn on any internet data on the phone in its current condition. When I try turning on WiFi, the temp (with the phone in the freezer) spikes within seconds from 8°C to 140°C on a couple things according to CPU-Z, then the phone bootloops. (I have to give it a rest, refreeze, then immediately upon bootup turn off WiFi, to be able to do anything.)

Since I could take the SD card out of the phone & use a card reader in my laptop ... is there something I could put on the SD card, then run in the phone so I can enable root while keeping everything else intact? I'm not planning to try installing another OS, as the phone is essentially useless right now; also if I enable wifi the phone immediately bootloops even in the freezer. This is mainly so I can use Titanium Backup Pro to back up my entire dying phone.

Then, once I have it all backed up, and get a new phone, what about restoring everything that was backed up with Titanium Backup Pro? If I don't root the new phone yet, what do I need to watch out for on restoring?

Also what are some phones that are more likely to support rooting / custom ROMs without voiding the warranty? Phones under consideration include the Asus Zenfone AR, Google Pixel, OnePlus 3T, as well as a few others from Asus, HTC, Huawei, LeEco, LG (G6?), Motorola, Oppo, Samsung (S8?), vivo, Xiaomi & ZTE. If the OnePlus 4 (or 5) comes out in the next month or two, I might consider that one.

I'm thinking the Pixel, or OnePlus phones, would be most likely to "officially" support root, and have close to stock / vanilla Android?

For now, I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G that the G4 had replaced. (It has issues of its own, but is functioning better than the G4 for now.)

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 5.1:
Hello... I think the method hasn't changed.

Download SuperSU 2.79 sr3 on your internal storage.

Download TWRP 3.0.2 RC1 IMG

1 - Reboot into bootloader

2 - Boot into rc1 TWRP IMG with fastboot boot TWRP img

3 - Select install in TWRP and navigate to the SuperSU zip. Select it and swipe to install. Let it reboot. It will boot loop 2 or 3 times. Let it do its job, it will reboot. Done.

Good luck...
