Hi.

I have an XDA Stellar, and i bought a memory card (2gb Micro SD) yesterday.

Now i can send files to it no problem, dragging and dropping them across, however if i try to copy the files from the card (the photos i took yesterday) to the pc, the "copy and convert" window comes up, and the device appears to send them, but they dont end up in the directory where they are supposed to.

Something i note is it says something like

"sending files from "storage card" to desktop computer.

Shouldnt it say on there the location of the folder i am sending them to?

It would be REALLY crap if i have to eject the card and load it into a card reader to see them.

Any ideas?

on rooted device you can alter these dangerous settings! by forcing high brightness even when the processor is heating up!

my advice would be don't touch such settings. keep your device cool. try to install ram /task cleaner software!

disable autsync/maps/gps for sometime

There is no solution to this annoying problem. The phone was purchased from one month .... After a few minutes heats up and then start the screen in low lighting and not return to full brightness only after leaving the phone period to cooldown.

If anyone have issue with this(Eveyone should), I have file that let you use 100% of screen brightness, of cause it's adjustable.

Basically let you have full control without Thermal limit kicks in.

Only thing is that the file can not be modified without ROOT...

Let me know

I just posted this in other thread,

It's call thermal-engine.conf, all you have to do is change all the numbers under "backlight" to 255(Max value).

It works great, I've been using it as is for more than one year.

I am using this device daily, in construction sites going in and out of shade and into my car. You have no idea how frustrating it is to not be able to read your screen while on the job. The Brightness slider will not respond anywhere beyond half way and the brightness will simply not increase. Had more than 10 Android phones in recent years, non of them had this kind of issue.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mwdaue01:
New to messing with android and odin so bear with me.

I have confirmed the target device is a verizon phone model and I am using a verizon stock firmware.

I had a friend give me a Galaxy S6 SM-G920V as he wasn't using it anymore and my S5 bit the dust. I got a sim card put in it and activated. During the init the phone lost power and bricked the rom. So, I got the latest odin build and what I thought was a good firmware build and flashed the phone. I still get the startup failed message when I boot. So I called verizon and got some information about their specific firmware and started searching again. I found this thread that claimed to have the firmware I needed.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/general/stock-firmware-official-stock-firmware-t3086387

I have tried to use Smartswitch and verizon utilities to detect and repair my device but neither of them will recognize my phone is connected even after installing the samsung drivers.

My process for flashing the device are as follows:

Power on phone into download mode.

Select AP and load the .tar.md5

Check boxes for auto reload and F. Reset time

Connect Phone, it gets recognized

Click start

The firmwares I have tried:

ODIN version: 3.10.6

1st attempt :

Android 6.0.1

PDA: G920VVRS4CQA3

CSC: G920VVZW4CQA3

result: PASS, does not boot, teal screen of death with startup failed. flashed a second time and now its boot looping.

2nd attempt:

Android 5.0.2

PDA: G920VVRU1AOC3

CSC: G920VVZW1AOC3

result: NAND write fail. Flash aborts.

Is there something I am doing wrong here? Someone with more experience please correct me.

You can't downgrade the S6 back to 5.0.2. Verizon locked the bootloader so you can't downgrade it to 5.0.2 and only around 5.1.1 around OK1 to QD1. (5.1.1 - 7.0)

Just found a zip file with the ring and notification tones and have loaded them. However, the zip file also contained a directory called "UI" with a load of sound files but there is no such directory on the phone. Any ideas where these files should go?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
OP probably run into same stupid problem as I did: first time I changed ring tone, it gave me option to pick file manager, I picked wrong one, which didn't have access to system files and was set as default. From now on everytime I want to change ringtone, I get root directory with empty ringtone folder. Going to default to reset it didn't help, that particular default was not listed in there. I had to uninstall the es file manager to get the option to choose default apps again and the one with Android icon is the right one with proper access. Once you do that it will work. I absolutely hate Android access folder restrictions, can't wait to root this stupid phone so it works the way it should. I also changed settings for default apps: most default apps don't show up in default apps menu, how am I supposed to change them? Now I have option to run it once, test it and then later set as default, if I want to. And why ringtone folder has restricted access is totally beyond me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pbda777:
Thank you pete4k. I had the same problem and you pointed me to the solution. I didn't have to uninstall ES file manager, though. I just went to Settings/Apps/ES File Manager Pro/Set as Default and pressed the "Clear Defaults" button.

Ringtone folder was empty

Tried looking everywhere file explorer, where did the built in folder of ringtone just shown empty. Beyond my understandment.

All i did was set a new ringtone from my selected music, & all built in ringtone in samsung disappeared.

Thanks to pete solution worked. Im trying to click thanks but its greyed out. So i register & logged in especially to do that.

Solution as described go to settings app es explorer clear defaults.

Then went back to settings selected ring tone it asked me choose es explorer or green android bar ( original android ) selected original android. Simply got all builtin ringtones back, as well as my mp3 ringtone was automatically added to built in list.

Much thanks couldnt do it without this help.

Some problems are beyond underst.

Very quick solution. But took time to get here.

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] o-w-a:
I have l21c432b160 and I tinkered around and completely removed some system apps such as the calendar app email and all those google apps that comes pre installed. Coming from a nexus device, that was not an issue before just flash the rom again through twrp and bam! you got a clean install. From reading all these posts I realized that, with these phones, it's a little more complicated. Before you say anything let me reassure you my phone works as intended. I have access to twrp, the phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked.

Along the way I decided to walk the complete stock route and wait for nougat update being totally clean to prevent a flash error when the OTA hits. My question is, how can I make a clean flash to B160?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] o-w-a:

Thank you for the reply.

So just to be sure on what to do:

1. dload the update.app (what about the data like for the apps and everything? and als,o oeminfo, do I need to do anything?)

2. Flash with 3 button method

and done.?

The app will remain, but if you want a clean install do a factory reset after the installation.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindwire07:
Dear xda community,

I used to use Instagram on a daily base in order to follow a user's followers hoping they follow back. This has been working quite well, but all of a sudden Instagram started acting weird. Now, if I click a user's follower, it loads really long and loads a list of at least 2000.

Usually, there are 50 followers loaded at a time, at the moment it's 2000.

The other point is that it does not refresh anymore. There are still the followers of a few days ago while Instagram usually refreshes the list everytime you click it again.

It seems that it's a problem with the account. On another account, this issue is not occurring at all. But I also did not hit any limitations nor got any ban.

A user's followers list just won't refresh for me.

I tried with a hell lot of alternative Instagram browsers (including Instwogram & OGInsta+ released here) but nothing worked out so far.

Do you have any idea what could be wrong or what to try?

Thanks you all in advance and have a nice weekend

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Trixanity:
Does anyone know if it's the same old speakers that Sony have used for the last couple of years? You know the ones that are so muffled and small that they might as well have put a better, louder single speaker in there?

And while we're at it: what's the deal with it being listed as not being Quick Charge 4.0 compatible? SD835 supports it and the power IC required was available before the 835 was.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Alex2483:
Seems like they have improved the sound, but if you want even more you can just flash Divine Beats or Xtreme Music, the last one is optimized for dual speakers phones, about the Quick Charge 4.0, this function will come only at half 2017.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Trixanity:
Yeah, I saw the QC4.0 news earlier. Seems Qualcomm had some issues. Sad to see it not make it for the first wave of devices.

Do you have a source on the improved sound?

Considering Sony's audio legacy they should have no trouble developing great speakers but it seems like they use the same components in every release instead of iterating on their speaker design.

I have a Z2 Tablet and the speakers aren't great, that's why I'm asking and why I'm baffled that reviewers keep highlighting the speakers as having the same problems for many years now; yet Sony does not do anything about it.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Alex2483:
Unfortunately no sources, only the words of Sony (in fact I said... seems) I hope they are telling the truth, btw as I said you can just flash an audio mod to get the best audio experience, I have a potato speaker and with Xtreme Music I have now a powerful and clear audio especially with the headests.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] figo_rulz11:
I wonder if they can enable qc 4.0 with a software update later along the line?

And yes I'm hoping the speakers have improved, the ones on my Z3 are shocking!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] BozQ:
No QC4 is disappointing. This is the third phone with the SD835 and all of them passed QC4.

I figure, if they wanted to follow Google's advice/orders and drop Quick Charge and use USB PD instead, then it wouldn't be so bad. But that's not the case at all, they're just using QC3.0

And I'm willing to bet it's not even at full 18W too.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Alex2483:
QC4 will be available only in the next months, don't be angry every phone will support it, but for now no one.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] familydweeb:
I have found several posts in Moto G with similar symptoms but the fixes don't seem to be working -- but I'm sure somebody has hit this before.

I have flashed the twrp.img over to the phone with 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' and it seems to work:

(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found

sending 'recovery' (6894 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.261s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.858s]
finished. total time: 1.122s

I unplug the usb cord and then scroll down to 'recovery' and select that. The screen goes black and nothing happens. It has been more than 10 minutes now so I assume the phone is off. I had read that there was a 60-second delay before the TWRP screen came up (at least in some versions) but it doesn't look like this is it.

I have also rebooted into fastboot with power-down volume but when I select recovery then the same thing happens.

If I just power up it goes back into the regular Android system that I am trying to get rid of.

Any ideas?
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] familydweeb:
I figured it out....

When I was selecting Recovery from the fastboot menu I was pressing the power button rather than the volume up button, so it was turning the phone off rather than entering Recovery.

Once I used the volume up button, TWRP loaded fine.

Duh.

Boot latest twrp

wipe everything on phone in twrp (tick all boxes)

Flash the correct (2.4ghz or 2.15ghz) android 6.0 rom from the asus website. You will need to transfer the zip file to your phone from computer while in recovery. Sometimes you have to reboot twrp after wiping to see the storage on your computer.

Be careful as wiping you phone will remove the os and will result in soft brick if u don't flash the android 6.0 rom.

I have reverted to android 6.0 twice on the sd821 variant but still only do this if you are confident.

I am not responsible if you brick your phone

Hello friend,

Unfortunately at the time of doing the procedure by an oversight on my part I forgot to do the full wipe. I circled the correct ROM for my phone, but did not do the wipe.

The phone rebooted, hung up and did not call anymore. I can not believe it looks like it gave soft brick due to this my carelessness.

It does not go into fasboot or recovery mode. It gets totally off and when I connect to the pc it recognizes as Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008.

I'm desperate, have I lost my phone? Is there any way to fix this friend? Please ask if anyone knows any procedure to correct it.
