[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McXred:
Hello.

I've got really strange issue, so i'm currently using s5 port rom.

It's is really sluggish so i wanted to move to some aosp based rom. The problem is whenever i flash a new rom my modem/ baseband become unknown and i can't see my efs partition. Restoring proper backups from many tools don't help. I also tried to flash modems but no succed (normal modems and zuluman modded on by twrp and touch cwm (not philz one)). It stills stays as unknown. Once when i formatted whole efs partition it gave me normal modem version but as soon i restored efs, modem became unknown. When i go back to s5 port rom everything is working as should (is it because aroma installer?).

Is it some kind of bug or i bricked my phone in weird way? :D

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
When flashing roms you must flash back to stock each time to make sure the device is working as it should. It ensures that any problems are related to whatever you're doing.

I have had circumstances where I have flashed a stock firmware, let the phone boot, switched off, flashed a custom rom, booted the phone, run maps and location was miles away with no way to change it.

Flashed back to stock twice with a factory reset in between and let the phone boot, location worked fine again.

The point I'm trying to make is that bugs can be inherent. Just because you flash another rom it doesn't mean everything is fixed that was previously broken. Only stock roms can do that. Something I've noticed with flashing stock firmware is that on the first flash it seems to only replace what is different from stock. On the second flash it replaces EVERYTHING. I don't know if this is actual or just my imagination but it seems the case for my I9300.

Once you have a stock working device make a backup of your modem and efs. Flash whatever you need and if you have issues then try restoration of the backup you made..

You can never make enough backups!.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
Once or twice a day so far, my iris scanner stops working. The red scanner light does not come on when it should, and I get an error pop-up that says "The iris sensor is not responding. Try again later". This happens both from the lock screen and from Samsung Pay when I use iris verification.

Sometimes it recovers after a few minutes. Sometimes it doesn't recover until I reboot the phone, but then it works immediately.

Do I have a defective phone that needs to be exchanged, or is this just a software glitch? Does anyone know of a workaround to reset the sensor when it fails, without having to reboot?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] eniorodriig:
I'm guessing it's probably a software issue. I think there's a system app called "Iris" try force stop on that an see what it does. Has it been happening out of the box or since an update?

Otherwise this could probably get fixed with an update but don't expect them to adress this issue as quick, if you can i would recommend you to just replace the device.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
Thanks, good suggestion. I'll try that next time.

I got the AQD9 update on the first day I had the phone, so there wasn't time for the issue to come up before that.

Yes, unless most other people are encountering the same problem. That's why I wanted to ask here first.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] -Alan:
It happened to me once I rebooted and it never happened again. I haven't taken any updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] eniorodriig:
My suggestion is , wait until this week's update starts rolling out, if by then you still find an issue I'd recommend you replace the device while you can :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
Which update are you referring to? As I mentioned, I've received AQD9.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] eniorodriig:
Samsung is due to release a major update this week that will fix mostly the red screen issue,wifi issues and mostly first day issues that users are finding. This update will fix major bugs i believe so, so if you're lucky it might just fix the issue you're having but i wouldn't have high hopes. If you get the update this week and the problem persist just get it replaced.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
Great, I'll see how that goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] RootTheS8+:
More of the same

Like everyone above has stated, I'm sure Samsung will be updating the iris sensor in the near future. I hope they figure out the issue of using it in direct sunlight but as its and IR sensor, it may be impossible.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
Force-stopping the Iris system app doesn't fix it when it stops working. Neither does clearing that app's cache. I'll try clearing its data and re-registering my irises, but I'm not optimistic.

As of this morning, I get a slightly different error message, "Can't use iris recognition", when the red light doesn't turn on. It seems to happen most often following a prolonged idle period (e.g. overnight). Rebooting always fixes it immediately.

I notice other threads describing a similar problem with the fingerprint sensor. I've only encountered it with the iris scanner. But if it occurs with both, and both are fixed by rebooting, that makes it more likely to be a software issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Won't happen unfortunately. The sun emits a lot of infrared and I assume it would look very similar to how your own camera sees the sunlight, with massive glares forming on the lense making it hard to see any other details with a lense flare taking up most of the image. I have a filter to allow more infrared but less visible light to pass through the lense, maybe I'll tape it on and see if it works better, but it's doubtful.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r&xp:
Hello!

You can try the following:

1. search and download sp flashtool. Actually you can get this from official SP Flashtool official site.

Assuming you are running Windows, also download MediaTek USB VCOM drivers and Driver Auto Installer v1.1236.00 from the same site.

2. have an S580 rom ready.

The Process:

1. Install the windows drivers you downloaded

2. Open the folder you extracted SP Flashtool and run it as administrator.

3. Inside the folder of your unzipped rom file, look for a file similar to XXXXXXXXXX_scatter_file.txt

4. Load this in the SP Flashtool (click downlad tab, then scatter loading, load this file in there. It should load your rom you will see some colours, etc...

The tricky part:

Assuming you have correctly installed the drivers:

1. turn off the device (well if bricked it is turned off all ready) just make sure, and if possible remove the battery.

2. Click the green download button on SP Flashtool.

3. Hold down the Vol down key on your s580 and connect it to a usb port.

4. If you see a red line and continue to yellow, all is probably good! Don't let go of the vol - button until yellow line reaches 100%

If it fails, try again by removing the mediatek drivers, and by installing the latest lenovo USB drivers you can find.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r&xp:
You have nothing to lose by trying! I cannot think of any further damage you can do to the device. If you want to be cautious, trying installing only the lenovo drivers and following the steps.

If your phone is not recognized and the process does not either not complete or initiate at all, then also install the mediatek drivers. The mediatek drivers are to facilitate communication between device and computer, they are not going into your device. What your device will get is whatever is in the scatter file in the rom you should have downloaded.

Googling about your problem, turned up using SP Flash anyway, you can google it too.

Hope I am helping, let me know how it goes! I recently revived my Lenovo Tab 3 8 Wifi following the steps I described!

Hello Adrenoaak322.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r&xp:
Definitely worth trying. Perhaps even better from SP Flashtool, since QFIL is qualcomm specific.

You will need to do a little research on how it works, if it needs some kind of file similar to scatter file for SP, etc, etc. I sent some links to your PM that maybe useful in the process.

Maybe other users, around here, with more experience can help out?!? Anyone??? :confused:

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] RGX521:
Hey guys,

so my G5 locks on to up to 20 satellites with more satellites being visible, but doesn't establish a GPS lock. It will sometimes acquire a lock after 15 minutes or so, but accuracy will be atrocious (300m+). It used to have <10m accuracy with less satellites locked. I did not change anything about my rom or installed software. Is there anything I can try?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] dkh7m:
Do a Google search for "LG G5 GPS Fix". There are several threads both on XDA and Reddit related to this and how to fix it, but this one should get you started...

https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg5/comments/4u8m9p/how_to_fix_your_gps_fixed_in_10_minutes/

Many commenters noted that bending the pins up only fixed the problem temporarily, that they eventually will lose contact w/ the back plate again. When I fixed mine last week, I put a 2x2mm square shim under the motherboard to keep the pins raised up enough to make good contact. I just cut a corner off a business card, removed the MB screw just above the pins, slid in the shim then replaced the screw. It only raised the MB a hair, but it was enough to keep the leads making contact with the back plate. My GPS has been working great ever since.

If you don't want to tear down your phone and risk voiding the warranty (or cracking the screen), others have said they had good luck sending their phones back for warranty repair. But you'll be w/o a phone for a week or more if you do that.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] RGX521:
Thank you. The thing is, I already did that fix and my phone is seeing and gets a fix on plenty of satellites. It just doesn't get decent gps coordinates even with 20+ satellites connected.

So for anyone reading this: What worked for me was to open the phone again and actually use a slightly *thinner* piece of paper than before to raise the Mainboard. Currently seeing +-8m indoors and +-4m outdoors with 20+ SATs in use. No idea if it's going to last, though.

And i have another problem with huawei power management, its always force close torrent apps even i changed power plan to performance, set protected apps for torrent apps, set keep running after screen off for torrent apps and allow ignore battery optimization for torrent apps.

And how to set double screen knock to screen capture.

Hi,

Unfortunetly, I don't think it supports quick charge.03.45 charging time to 5 to 100 seems about right.6660 divided by 03.45 will result in a 1930 mp per hour charging rate.And the original charger has 2k.So, here you go.These info concern the 10 inch lite version that I'm talking.

Hello,

I bought a second hand galaxy note gt-n7000 which came rooted with the Paranoid Android 3 ROM, I have grown sick of it and just really dislike it now. I would like to change it to a different ROM, maybe Night Owl but I am new at this kind of thing so not sure what to do first. I have wiped the phone clean of data but have kept the root intact and the custom ROM is still there. It is also already partitioned.

I have downloaded Odin but not sure what to do, please can someone help?

Use Odin to flash a compatible recovery like TWRP 3 for example.

Then boot into recovery and go to wipe > advanced wipe > and mark (system, data, cache, and dalvik cache) then swipe to wipe, then go back and choose install then choose the rom from where you put it, and flash it, then flash a gapps compatible with the phone's android version which can be downloaded from opengapps.org and reboot
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] pacattack81:
I just posted this on phonearena and thought I'd post it here for anyone who was wondering what the new S8+ was like. I'm strictly speaking about design and screen.

I went to AT&T last Friday to check out the new S8+ compared to my Xiaomi Mi Mix and I'd hands down pick the mix over the S8+.

The S8+ is just say too skinny. Sure it's nicer to hold in your hand than the Mix, but you get much more screen real estate in width than the S8+. I guess the .2 inches makes a big difference which is odd being they have the same aspect ratio. I figured I it would be similar in width given they have a similar aspect ratio.

Also, side by side, I can't tell the difference between the higher resolution screen on the S8+ and the Mix. Same webpage and similar font size it all looks pretty similar to me except you get a warmer screen which is typical of OLED panels. I personally like a warmer reddish screen, it's easier on the eyes.

The Galaxy is really way too skinny. I can't imagine someone picking it over the Mix if they saw it side by side. Maybe if they like a slimmer less heavier phone they'd pick it. Just my two cents.

We have a winner here folks.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] alvinosj:
I personally had both Xiaomi Mix & S8+

Pre-ordered S8+ and collected it on 22 April.

Today i sold away the S8+, and went back to use Xiaomi MIX.

S8+ has lagging issue, on all the games i played, i can see and feel lagness/delays from the game, even after using Package Disabler to disable a couple of bloatware, it had improvements, but still nothing compared to Xiaomi MIX smoothness.

I hadn't used samsung phones since Note 2, i reckon myself to go for samsung in the near future.

I have the S8+ but note that the price for the mi mix has dropped I'm seriously thinking about getting this. My main question is if I'll notice better viewing for movies on streaming apps and using MX Pro for my personal movies. The S8+ is okay but a lot of streaming apps still have black bars on the sides. Video looks good with Netflix, YouTube and Direct TV Now because they let you crop on the S8+. Do these same apps let you crop on the Mi Mix?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tiago A:
No. The only app that you can set screen full size, is netflix. Im thinking to get a s8 plus. Which are your pros and cons of this device? This is fast as expected? Lags? Tell me about it
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] gman901:
Well that's extremely disappointing. The S8+ let's you crop in YouTube and DirectTV Now. A button to the left pops up to allow it. So you are saying that all these apps basically don't fit the entire 6.4" screen while the S8+ allows vdieo o fit the full screen? Is that some kind of special programming for Samsung devices? I bought the Mi Mix primarily for videos, Marvel Unlimited and Google Books. So I'm wondering now if I should I leave it sealed in the box and ask the return it to the reseller? The S8+ has plenty of bells and whistles but I find that the screen ratio is weird and it doesn't feel big enough for videos. It also seems a little janky sometimes. I notice that it slows down when you move in between apps sometimes
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tiago A:
I mean, when you watch videos, you will get the black bars only in youtube. In all the apps, you will get full screen. The black bars are propense to happen in videos. The only app that I tested until now and dont get that black bars, is the netflix. Probally, others apps like vlc, mx player, etc, you will have a full screen video. Your s8 is the sd or exynos variant?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] gman901:
Okay, that makes me feel better. I noticed watching some reviews on the Mix, the reviewers had a white bar along the right side when playing playing some games. I know the S8+ usually hides the navigation bar automatically when watching videos or games. Is there a way to hide the bar so it doesn't take up the real estate? I have the SD version. I like it but there are still some issues like lag, apps closing while using them, iris scanner sometimes doesn't initiate and the finger print reader is a little difficult to use. You have to make a real effort if you want to use it. I know you can use it to pull down notifications but again you really need to make the effort. Also Bluetooth 5.0 isn't really worth it. The range is not any better and I lose connection a little more than I did with my S7 edge. The only thing it does is let you connect two devices but I never use that feature. I'm going to keep both and see which device I like better. I also have AT&T and read something about creating a new APN and having AT&T activate the IMEI on their Network to recognize some of the LTE bands on the Mix. Do you know if that actually works in some areas of the US? I'm in Orlando.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tiago A:
I cant say if this works with all bands of your locate. Im from Brazil and here has the same bands of China. I dont have any problems here. Lte band works great here. I'l take a look in s8 plus and compare it side by side with my mix.
