[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] atlmtnbiker:
inb4 search the forums - i definitely did

using the default essaging app on a google pixel on verizon.

when i initially send or receive a group text, i'm clearly in a group text. but my replies to that thread get divided and sent out as individual replies effectively taking me out of the group text. the other recipients therefore cannot tell to what i am replying. the HTC One didn't do this - group messages were group messages, individual messages were individual messages.

what am i not understanding about how to reply in and stay in group texts?

thanks!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] tiboric:
Its the way it was designed, it should say it when writing a new group text.

'This is a mass text, Each recipient will receive an SMS messages from you, Replies will appear in individual conversions.'
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] crazyemon3y:
To fix this click on the three dots in the top right corner, go to settings, then click on advanced. The first option should be group messaging and you can change this to use group mms instead of a mass text.

Good day, people.

Now just to say - I am an average user, not really that much into programming or hacking, just got a problem which is driving me mad.

Last night went to bed with almost fulll battery.

Woke up to a 45 percent...had to leave in a rush, now I am on ultra power sawing mode half day...

I see that some google calendar sync is using crazy ammounts of battery.. Cannot upload screens but I see that software used 73percent of battery, 27 for hardware. 50,26 out of these 73 percent of software usage was google calendar sync.... what is that ? I need that disabled ASAP. It used approx 1000mah of my batery over 6 hours. :eek:

I have the latest OEM softwar, EMUI version 5,0, Android 7,0

I am not even using the Google calendar...not even installed....what is going oooon :crying::crying::crying:

My phone model is Micromax Knight 2 E471.

It was working fine but it all happened all of a sudden. I was trying to connect my phone to the computer to access some file. Suddenly, I got a message on my screen that Encryption interrupted with some text and a button to reset. I rebooted the phone but it had the same message and I had no option but to click on the Reset button. From that time until now... it does not want to boot.

Then I searched for it on google and tried to start with two key combinations Power+VolumeUp and Power+VolumeDown. Power+VolumeDown. does not do anything but Power+VolumeUp get me to a recovery screen that says failed to mount /system, /sdcard, /cache and so many things (screenshot attached).

From the recovery option, I tried

1. wipe data/factory reset - doesnt do anything

2. wipe cache partition - doesnt do anything

Then I took it to Micromax service center. They said, OS needs to be reloaded. I paid 250/- and got it reloaded but still the issue was not resolved. Now there is a new problem. When I start the phone, it appears that it is rebooting but there is absolutely nothing on the screen. The screen is completely blank and black. The strange part is that, it keep vibrating after every minute or so which makes me feel that it is caught in a boot loop but nothing is displayed on the screen. The Service center guys says that there could either be a display issue or motherboard issue and in both cases, the hardware cost would be more. But I feel it is a software issue.

I again googled it and got to a page https://firmwarefile.com/micromax-e471 where I downloaded the firmware. The firmware folder had a file "8939_fastboot_all_images" which is a windows batch file. I installed the driver, executed the 8939_fastboot_all_images batchfile and went to the recovery screen I got from Power+VolumeUp key combination. Selected reboot to bootloader. I got lot of things in the ms-dos window but still the problem is unresolved.

I appreciate if someone here could help me what to do next.

Thanks

Something wrong with the mount points, maybe? Have you tried flashing a custom recovery like TWRP?

I cannot do anything with a screen with no display.

Can you tell me how to flash a custom recovery when the phone is in boot loop

Your phone seems to have a Snapdragon SOC. Sorry but I'm pretty much useless with that. If it was an mtk you could have removed the battery and use SP Flash tool. Maybe someone else can help you with this.

Sorry for that!

First of all ToolStudio eMMC Download Tool link does not work. I downloaded the 50MB+ zip file and extracted, it asks for a password which I already put but it doesnt do anything.

Then I downloaded a downgraded version from here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B7SVwjaFGLv_by1OSlMtaU9tQVE but it does not work. mMMC Download or Multil Download does not show RAM, Boot Image etc. The comments on that page also shows that there are so many people who are unable to do it. Do you know of a reliable download source for ToolStudio eMMC Download Tool?

Or do you have any other solution?

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViperCDX:
Hello, i flashed my note 5 with the official nougat firmware through Odin. Now i am unable to remove system apps such as the Microsoft apps,email, internet etc. I tried using "system app remover(root)" which shows failed uninstall. Then i tried using titanium backup after which my phone got stuck at the samsung logo during restart. I had to again flash the official firmware to get my phone working.

Any help to remove system apps will be highly appreciated

Solved: I manually deleted the apks by using root explorer and now it works fine.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
Did you root it?

Try mounting system rw. And i use root app delete when it fails u can force uninstall and has worked for me in past

Yes ofc my phone is rooted.

Hi Guys

I have read all the threads and support messages re: Error [246] Device not responding. And mine is different.

I first experienced this problem after I flashed Pays 1.45 Lite after previously installing Pays 1.45 Full. When i try to flash any ROM (not just Pays) I get an "Error [246] Device not responding" message.

Unlike other Error [246] Device not responding problems my bootloader tricolor screen does not come up on my Hermes. I have tried, reinstalling Active Synce, Hard and Soft Resetting, Restarting the bootloader SSPL and still no resolution of the problem.

Sorry bring this problem to bear but it is different to your typical "Error [246] Device not responding " problem and it is driving me batty. the ROM i currently have installed works (Pays 1.45 Lite) and my USB syncs with active sync fine.

Any ideas what the problems could be? I am tempted to drown the hermes in holy water atm to make sure it isn't demonic possession ;(

Any help would be appreciated ;p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lampllight:
Quick update:

I used Force using Safe SSPL for installing ROMS in the past with no problems. It is using this method that I get the 246 Error.

Other methods used gain different errors:

SPL1.04/1.10 - SPL1.09 Bootloader = Error 260 Update Error (check phone attached to usb cable and computer - which it is)

SPL1.11/1.13/1.20/1.35/1.40 Bootloader = 1% complete progress the error 270 Update Error (file image is corrupted) NO MATTER WHAT ROM I USE.

SPL2.02/2.10/2.30 New Bootloader = error 270 as above

Bootloader Screen Reads:

HERM100

IPL-1.01

HERM100

SPL-2.03

I have successfully flashed about 4-5 roms before without experiencing this problem. I have made no changes to my device or my PC. I don't know what could have caused this to happen all of a sudden and out of the blue.

I have these two apps that turns off pixels on your screen to save battery but it only works for Amoled screens. I used the app to get an even darker screen but when I did used both at the same time, the screen randomly started pressing at random spots so I couldn't do anything but turn off my phone. I took a screen shot of the screen while trying to turn off my phone. Also the tapping only happens when the picture fills up my whole screen. Does this happen to anyone else? Here's a link to the screen shot
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] MK+2017:
Hello everyone,

These are XT1642 Baseband EMEA Channel Retail Europe dd images.All 48 "by-name" partitions, including modem, modemst1 and modemst2.

I was unfortunately going by my own, trying to restore IMEI code and modem functionality of my first XT1642. I bought a typical phone and made dd images of all partitions.

I then engaged into trying to change IMEI code of my failed set. The best try was done by EFS_Professional_2.1.80_BETA, which I downloaded here from XDA, but I got the error NV_ERR_BAD_SECURITY_MODE.

I then resorted to flashing the dd images. Thinking out of focus as I did (I should have tested only modem images: modem, modemst1,modemst2 and fsg) I flashed images one by one in TWRP, until I felt something went wrong (sure it had to), so I rebooted to find I locked myself out at bootloader.

Bootloader says "oem_locked" and yet fails to boot in any mode: recovery, reset or other.

So this is the inevitable end: I was supposed to leave the phone set dead until a toolbox or a hardware hack come out, since I already tried at repair shops and non exist for Athene.

Now to the juicy parts: I promised myself I post these dd images, not just for modem issues, but for anyone wishing to manipulate XT1642 EMEA RETEU. Maybe these could just help.

The images are taken off MPJ24.23-4.

dd images: Google Drive and MediaFire

EFS Professional 2.1.80 Beta: Google Drive and MediaFire
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] SoNic67:
"Manipulating" the IEMI is illegal.

And wrong because it will hurt another person's phone too, that has that IEMI.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Droidphilev:
The partitions described don't contain an IMEI. I guess there is no problem here.

1. I don't like anything about mifavor so I use nova.

2. Over aggressive app killing and anything changed from aosp.

3. Anything currently disabled or gimped by mifavor. This is discussed in great detail already @ ZTE forum.

4. No. Lipstick does not make the pig attractive.

5. I don't mind the apps, except that ad ridden keyboard. I use gboard or aosp.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] keessonnema:
Pros:

- None actually. It's laggy, I don't like the design, and the new settings app sucks.

Cons:

- 'Power manager' is too aggressive and doesn't wake apps when waking the screen most of the time.

- RAM management is horrible, phone is lagging after 1 or 2 days. A reboot fixes this (but this is not right)

- The camera has no raw support, which makes photographing meh.

- All the bloatware apps, I disabled all as far as I can.

Features I like to have:

- Ambient display. Please add this, we have a beautiful amoled screen, but don't make good use of it.

- Stock Android like theme.

- Less bloat (video player app, WeShare, Clock app (please implement cLock from Google), Accuweather)

I use QuickPic, Solid Explorer etc for my documents/photo's.

I don't like the MIFavor Theme engine because I think the design is ugly.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nfsmw_gr:
1.)

a) The ability to hide navbar on will and customise it.

b) The themes support (although we can't download new themes like with the Chinese A7)

c) The lightness of the MiFavor compared to other OEM software.

2)

a) The stock camera app is mediocre at best. Misses exposure many times and recording videos in low light is a joke.

b) There is no switch to completely disable power manager in settings.

c) The dialer could use a tune up, it's just not on par with the stock android one.

3)

I don't think any important feature is left out in my opinion. Good job.

4) Yes, I like it and yes I would definitely like to see more themes.

Most of all a completely black theme would be the best for power savings on the amoled screen of the A7, it's nonsense having white themed android paired with an amoled panel.

5) The music app for equalization reasons, I use JetAudio. And the camera app of course, I use OpenCamera. For Gallery I never used stock, I use Quickpic. And for launcher, I use Nova because I like to customise my device

Hope I helped you. :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] 0Kajuna0:
1. Pros: Audio is good. I would have Raw photos if I was american. I would have Daydream if I was american (so not really pros for Europeans)

2. Cons: Power management. Features that have been removed from stock Android. Lack Daydream and Raw on European version.

3. Compared to stock: Why in the hell did you REMOVE features? Why?

4. Themes: No, I don't care about themes

5. Third party apps: I don't care. I can install them, except for the caller, the google one is much better

LineageOS is a better firmware overall, but it lacks Daydream and good speaker audio, which are 2 of the main selling points of this phone. I would rather have ZTE help fix those 2 things on Daydream than improve dozens of little things that are bad in MiFavor.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Looloup:
I use Nova Launcher (on all my devices so that I have a consistent look/feel across all of them) - so I avoid the worse excesses of the MiFavour.

Settings are fine - I don't use it enough to have to worry about differences between manufacturers versions. The power management could potentially be useful - but the default all on is to aggressive out of the box.

I quite like the changing images on the Lockscreen

I tend to find Stock apps where they exist - but use Swiftkey keyboard.

Alongside the ZTE Camera app I also have Camera ZOOM FX - which no longer seems to work (on Nougat).

I use Simple Image Wallpaper as it allows different images depending on the rotation of the device

ES File Explorer
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pelelademadera:
1 - No bloatware at all in A2017G at least

Even task killer its too agresive, using it, and disabling it for some apps, its very useful

Gestures, it could be coustom ones, but what have, works almost well.

2 - No app box, camon men, at least a setting to add it.... I use nova.

No double tap to power off screen.... that is a really bad thing

Proximity sensor is useles when a phone call is in progress, the screen turns on and off... and when screen is off, can turn on the screen covering proximity... thats a really bad bug.

No raw in camera, and camera app dont rotate settings.

3 - nothing, its good for me, I dont use more things that mifavor have

4 - I dont like themes at all, for me is useless, I want to custom my theme as I wish, I want an app box, my background and my lockscreen background, my widgets...

5 - launcher, web browser and clock widget at least (it must have weather....) pdf viewer I use my own.

My general opinion is that miflavour will be ios miui or emui, and thats very chinese... icon dont need to have a backgroud, and app box gives you order in your screen, I like to have an almost clean screen, a few icons, forecast and time, the rest is to go to menu, no slide everywere to find a stupid app...

Just give us Nexus-like rom, with completely stock UI. No MiFavor plz.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] CSRoad:
I've tried to like it several times, but it really has no pros. The latest I have tried is MiFavor UI 4.2 on a A2017U.

I really find myself in conflict with some of the system apps and having to jump through hoops as root to remove them.

The lack of flexibility is a killer in my book both in apps and GUI.

Seriously I can understand a company and ZTE is not alone in this, wishing to set themselves apart from Google's offerings but really I think it is better to make it basic Google Android with ZTE branding on the boot screen etc. and then allow the user to pick the ZTE apps that they want or not.

It is a great piece of hardware, I only wish it have the software/firmware flexibility of my Nexus phone it replaced in my pocket.

That all said I think ZTE should be commended for reaching out to both users and developers with this phone, it is definitely a step in the right direction.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bkores:
1) Nothing

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] wilbur-force:
I'm using the latest launcher on beta and it's much better than the old marshmallow one but after beta i will revert back to the Google Now Launcher due to:

- no Google Now integration

- no long-press menus

No need for halfhearted apps when stock ones suffice. Would prefer to see ZTE spend their time making great apps to sit on a stock ROM. Much easier to roll out updates too.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Beaugart:
1) I like the lockscreen, but do not like being forced to use one. I like the double tap to wake and the various gestures but would like to see even more gesture support on screen or fingerprint scanner.

2) Failure to incorporate Nougat features (quick tiles, notification priority, Android Easter egg, etc); power manager is too aggressive and does not have an off switch; LED notifications time out too quickly

3) See above for Nougat features missing

4) I do not use themes. A simple live wallpaper is what I use.

5) I dislike the messaging app and use Textra, I dislike the email app and use Blue Mail, I dislike the toolkit and prefer to have the apps launchable separately, I dislike the phone/dialer app and caller ID feature and use the one that came included with Drupe and Drupe Dialer (app).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] adriangb:
1) I like the fast updates (7.1.1). I REALLY like Dolby because it works. The camera is okay.

2) I dislike any UI changes that were made from AOSP (especially the lockscreen and Quick Settings). I dislike changes made to power management. I can't stand that my phone came with bloatware, especially the damn keyboard.

3) Not really.

4) I think if ZTE wanted to stand out, they should ship the phone with stock AOSP theme but with OMS support instead of their own crappy theme system.

6) Keyboard gets replaced. Launcher gets replaced (Google or Nova). Music app gets replaced (SoundCloud, Google Play Music). Calendar gets replaced by Google calendar. Dropbox and weshare bloatware get uninstalled.

Hello,

these are my little improvement calls:

.) Biggest disadvantage: No Multiuser! e.g. Whatsapp and some other Apps - No i do not want to root my device for that!

.) Improvement: If i was called on Sim1 and i missed the call then i would like to call back with Sim1 without long press the missed call - and of course the same with Sim2 without thinking which is my primary Sim setting.

.) Set the outgoing Sim per Contact

.) The built in Email App is more or less useless if you are plan to use more then one email accounts (no possibility to choose from which you want to send)

.) In the Email App there are still some missing translations (chinese letters) to german in the account settings.
