[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] anmolkakkar:
I completely understand....

I beg to differ from your opinion here though.

After trying out 4 different Nougat based ROMs and 4 different Marshmallow based ROMs (yeah....took a lot of time with clean installation and stuff), I easily infer that OP3 Nougat ROMs have

REALLY POOR

sound libraries. Viper4Android alone works well with Marshmallow based ROMs (and using it with A.R.I.S.E/Divine Beats/etc. makes it even better) and bass doesn't distort at all (saved a few Viper Profiles and re-used them between ROMs). But the same profile in Viper on Nougat sounds just CRAP!!

Don't know what the solution here. Just wish there was some way to find out what is it that is causing this to happen? Which part of sound library or which file? Can anyone help? :confused::(

I think I fucced up pretty badly this time...

I was on LOS, wanted to get back to stock, for some reason wiped and rebooted...

Infamous DFU mode. I can't get to FTM (tried power + vol down and it only turns on, scrolls a little and turns off), and I wasn't able to use axon7tool using zadig. No recovery at all, no fastboot, nothing...

I've installed QDLoader 9008 drivers and MiFlash actually recognizes the... thing. Can anyone tell me if this is worth trying/what I have to do? Thanks

P.S I have no way of returning it to ZTE

Edit: The miflash thing didn't work as expected, can't find programmer file

You have to enter EDL with any cost, or at less FTM - let batttery drain up and try again.

Otherwise, people say somethings about a DIY EDL cable, but I not really sure

I've found this QPST thing from Qualcomm, also heard that the only thing missing is the programmer which is not released. It detects my device, reports it is a Sahara Memory Dump, and that's pretty much that. I hope that people is actually looking into this

Also I noticd that in the first seconds when it is seemingly installing, it says it is a Sahara Download. Does that help?

I know you're already active in this thread, but I don't know if you understand it in depth. You must open your device to enter into edl mode. In edl you can flash twrp and are back in business. So your only way to enter edl is to open your brick as described.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GigaSPX:
I took advantage of the BOGO last year to get 4 S7 Edges on my family's plan. With the addition of one more line used to upgrade for an iPhone 7 Plus that my friend is renting out, we get a total of 10 bonus GB for life. Our plan is the New Verizon Plan with data capping out at max, so we have 22 GBs to use. I have an 8% employee discount so the monthly bill runs $195 including tax (technically 165 because of the rent out, hehe).

Now I want to know how well of an upgrade it is to jump to the S8+ because it's only $15 a month with the Unlimited plan if I trade in my S7 Edge. The price point between the S8 and S8+ would be the same with this upgrade, but obviously going for the bigger one is a much better benefit. The S7 Edge is only worth $230 if I traded it in with Verizon, and it's probably worth more at $400 if I sold it online elsewhere.

Is it worth the upgrade? Just curious... hehe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
I'm waiting now for my S8+. Wanted to upgrade for multiple reasons, including better processor, USB type C, and a better display. I'm on grandfathered UDP and had to pay full price for mine but I've had to for every phone since 2012...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GigaSPX:
Are you the type to upgrade to a new phone every year? Because I try to make mine last two years, but the deal that's going on is hard to overlook. lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Nope, never changed before two years until now, just like you. I had the blackberry storm, droid RAZR , LG revolution (broke the RAZR), then the Droid RAZR Maxx, S5, and now the S7 edge that was purchased last summer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] DildoMaster:
I was also on a grandfathered UDP but there's 4 other lines on my plan that weren't. I upgraded to the new unlimited plan and now everyone's got unlimited data and with the hybrid Tmobile/Verizon ROM I haven't had any issues or data throttling and I've used well over the 22GB mark where they say they may "prioritize others" above you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Yeah, you only have to worry about high traffic times but in bigger cities they have better towers that can handle more so it's likely you'll never be throttled. I'm the only line on the account and haven't convinced myself yet to switch. Heard rumors that the grandfathered UDP plans sell for roughly $1k on eBay. Been thinking about doing that but haven't looked into it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] DildoMaster:
****!!!! I should have sold my plan and started a new one haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GigaSPX:
What a time to live in for you guys to be able to sell grandfathered phone plans. lol

Verizon isn't going to have a problem with that though?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
I'm sure it's a big PITA but doable. Probably add their name to the account, give them ownership rights and remove yourself and start a new plan for yourself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Eddie Hicks:
I received my Orchid Gray S8 on Tuesday the 18th. So far I'm loving it. My only gripe is the Bixby thing. There is no way to disable it. It takes up the entire left screen. Not crazy about the fingerprint sensor on the back but I'm getting use to it, and it's easier to find with a case on. The iris scanner works much better and faster than I expected. The S8 has a nicer, cleaner look without the physical home buttom and there are no logos in the front.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GigaSPX:
How is the battery life compared to the S7 Edge? My gripe so far has always been about the crazy battery drainage my phone suffers and I see it's mostly because of the phone radio or something in Android system running it down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Eddie Hicks:
I really haven't been gauging the battery life yet. I have mostly been installing and configuring apps. But so far it seems OK. I've only had it for 2 full days and 3 full charges. I never got below 30% charge. But I'll report back later with my opinion of the battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GigaSPX:
Or the S9. Or possibly whenever Sony decides to make their latest flagship Xperias compatible with Verizon because they have much better battery optimizations than Samsung. I'm not seeing any better than 3.5-4 hours of SOT since Nougat...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
I can honestly say that my battery life has improved significantly. I know that seems like a stretch but it's probably due to the processor as well as a completely new battery. My S7 edge would have to be charged at night while I was at work around my lunch break. Now it lasts a while, at 86% after sitting in my truck all night and with moderate use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GigaSPX:
Is it possible for you to share your battery stats of your usage at the end of the day? Like what apps have been running and screen on time usage. I'd like to know :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Well I never let it get past 50%, kind of like my gas tank, I want to keep a charge in the event of some kind of emergency. But I can show you a screenshot as of now. I have all the same apps on my phone, transferred from my Google account. There are over 130 apps installed and it seems that it monitor's them and saves battery that way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Snakehn:
Second day so far with my S8, upgraded from a 7 Edge, didn't get the S8 plus because too big ass of a phone, I'm happy with the battery life of the standard S8, so far has been better than the S7 Edge I had.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] raduque:
IMO, 64gb internal and USB-C are the only compelling upgrades from the S7. I'm waiting to see what the Note 8 looks like. Though I came very close to getting an LG G6 today.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forums1328:
"Google Play services has stopped" on 3 different 7.1.1. ROMs (RR, AICP, Lin.)

Hey guys,

coming from a stock 5.0.2 I wanted to install Lineage Nougat. So first I installed TWRP 3.x and then Lineage and gApps.

After the installation I rebooted into the system and the setup wizard started (albeit this also has been crashing sometimes on all 3 roms), letting me go as far as the Google account login, "Checking info..." which crashed with the message "Google Play services has stopped". I can go through the wizard without doing anything, but it's the same in the system.

Can't open Play Store, can't add Google Account.

I've tried 3 roms, Resurrection Remix, Lineage, and AICP. All Android 7.1.1.

I've tried different builds, different builds for gApps, different versions (nano, micro, stock).

Tried the usual clear cache etc. stuff for Google Play that you find online. Tried installing a new Play Services apk from apkmirror.

Nothing works, it's the same thing every time. Recovery, Wipe, Install Rom+gApps, Reboot, Play Services crash.

It doesn't seem to have to do with the ROMs.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

But I think I tried it with 2.8.xx as well, but I'll try again just in case.

Edit: So I tried it, to no avail.

Boot to Rec, Flash TWRP 2.8, Reboot, Wipe, Flash RR and Gapps, Reboot, Google Play Stopped.

Am I missing a step or anything I should try different?

I installed TWRP and root with SRK Tool 2.1, maybe there's something wrong there?

Hi guys,

whenever I try to backup my NAND using TWRP 3.0.2-0 on the Huawei P9 (Android 6.0 stock ROM, rooted), it fails for the DATA partition.

I know I have finished one backup successfully in the past by deleting the file that caused problems and retrying the backup.

However, now I again have problems, always with different files causing the problem according to the log (and I cannot simply delete all those problematic files! ;) )

Does anyone of you know what's going on there and how to debug or even solve the problem?

The log output is always the same, except for the file causing the problem, which varies from time to time.

[General Questions and Answers] Aswery:
Hi Dude.. Just sharing ..

Device : Kenzo

OS : Nitrogen 8.0 (beta)

TWRP : 3.1.1 Official

The problem persist when i did restoring my back up :

createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255

So.. It seems the problem happened when i make backup (even no error found) exactly in firmware partition backup.

I ve founded it by make 9 backup partitions (system, data, boot, recovery, cache, modem, firmware, BL and Efs) and do restoring one by one, and then the problem persist when I restored firmware partition

So I make this step when doing backup :

1. Open mount option and unchecked firmware partition.

2. Then I make full backup (9 partition)

3. The result is I got no error when restore it, and everything just fine now.

I don't even know the explanation, is there anyone can help explain it?, and is there any hidden problem with this way?

Seriously I Don't understand why but my backup and restoring running fine anyway now.. LOL

Just sharing my experiences, hope can help somebody here..
[General Questions and Answers] daniel908:
In the meantime it turns out that the phone's NAND seems to be faulty, which causes those errors.

I have two other P9 now for testing and reference, and on those the TWRP backup and restore runs flawlessly.

That faulty phone had other issues that I now understand also probably to be caused by faulty NAND. It seriously lagged very often. As soon as more than about 250-300MB of RAM was taken by apps, it wasn't operable for seconds anymore. It was always a bit laggy in the UI.

Now that I have the two other phones, I see how fast it can be. It feels like a totally new phone. :) (With the same software setup as the faulty one, just Android 7 instead of 6).

So apperently that phone really had a hardware issue.

Glad that I foud that out now. Makes me feel much better about trusting in the software and in my setup ;)
[General Questions and Answers] larpoux:
I could resolve my nandroid /data backup error on my EMUI 8.0 Mediapad M5 device with those following steps:

1 - Use a correct TWRP implementation

TWRP need to access the uncyphered partition /data.

There no possibility to backup it, if TWRP does not implement deciphering user data partition.

2 - Remove all users except user 0 (the administrator)

You can verify that there is no unwanted users, looking at directory /data/user : the only subdirectory should be "0".

To remove the others users :

Remove the PrivateSpace if you have one (Settings > Security & Privacy > PrivateSpace, and tap on the garbage can).

Remove all the secondary users (Settings > Users & accounts > users, and tap on each users to delete them). Keep just the main administrator user.

On EMUI, remove all twins applications (Settings > Apps & Notifications > App Twin, and disable all twin apps).

On OxygenOS, remove all parallel apps (Settings > Apps > Parallel Apps, and disable all parallel apps).

On MIUI, remove all dual apps (Settings > Dual Apps, and disable all dual apps)

On others devices ... you must find all parameters that create those unwanted users.

If you are not able to get the correct settings to suppress those users, in last resort you can try this command : "pm remove-user user-no. (For example "pm remove-user 999").

3 - Do not forget to protect your backups by a password

This would be stupid to cipher your /data partition and keep backups of this partition unprotected.

These steps fixed the nandroid backup problem for /data partition on my Huawei Mediapad M5 device.

I post on this forum because I hope that this will be helpful for others devices owners.

If I get this right, you cannot connect your phone via Xiaomi branded USB to PC. But what about when it is plugged in to the Xiaomi charger?

I had (may still have) a problem, when I unlocked my phone. I couldn't connect to my PC through the Xiaomi cable and when I plugged in the Xiaomi charger, if the phone was turned off I would get a red blinking and If the phone was turned on, it wouldn't charge.

If this is your problem (Since I am not sure if what I did worked 100%) I would recomend you to use another USB cable (but remember to use the other USB/charger at least a minute later from the time you unplug the Xiaomi one).

What I did (I have read about it on the MIUI forum), was to remove the back cover and unplug the battery cables and re-plug them again. At first, it seemed to work. When I turned off my phone, I had the same problem. But yesterday it seemed like there was no problem. So I cannot guarantee that this works 100% .....

Hi guys,

for some time now (not sure what triggered the change) whenever I leave airplane mode in the morning, Bluetooth, which was enabled before going into airplane mode, is not re-enabled. I have to enable it manually.

Not a very big deal. However, I’d prefer to have this enabled automatically again.

So if you happen to have an idea what I can do to change that back to how it was a few months ago, I’d be happy!
