[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MarkerBeanXDA:
I always got the latest flagship phone from Samsung, Apple, and Google. I am not using any screen protector, just a very thin back cases at 0.35mm. Micro scratches are present in all devices all around the screen but barely noticeable even in bright lighting like on mornings outdoor. Only visible at certain lighting and when you really looked for those scratches. If you do not want those micro scratches or glass scratches, then use a screen protector. Phone screens are mostly glass and not pure sapphires to not be scratched (except using diamonds). There is no way for phones with glass screens to be at 100% smoothness for a long time without using a screen protector unless you are not using it. Also, you won't use your phone forever anyway. You'll eventually upgrade after let's say 2 years maybe so why not just use it as it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] theprfct10:
I think the original posters comment was meant to supplement several other posters on this forum to suggest that for some reason the glass on this particular flagship phone seems to be more susceptible to scratches than previous models
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MarkerBeanXDA:
Well i don't think so. I have used almost all flagships from apple, samsung, and nexus phones as my daily driver and It all got micro scratches after 2-3days of using it without a screen protector. I am careful with using my phone and not putting it on my bag without a towel or soft cloth covering the phone and when putting it on my pocket sometimes, i am making sure it's clean and nothing on it, just the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] theprfct10:
We can agree to disagree. I also don't think you should judge anybody on this forum just by nature of their post - I'm sure he and I are just as careful as you are but that doesn't mean we are in any way negligent for the scratches that seem to have appeared on our phones versus you
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MarkerBeanXDA:
What i was saying is that, it's not that we are not careful or it's not that the phone is bad. It's just the way it is. Use a screen protector and your phone screen will be smooth. Don't use a screen protector and your phone screen will eventually have scratches. Not because you are not careful but that's just how it is. It's not made to be scratch proof, just scratch resistant.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] theprfct10:
That I completely agree with you although I must tell you several screen protectors especially for the curved glass are nowhere near as smooth as the original glass on the phone itself and you can include the film protectors for sure - thank you for keeping it civil.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MarkerBeanXDA:
There is actually, the official screen protector from samsung. Not a tempered glass, but a curved film that will fit up to the edges of the phone. It does not involve wet aplplication btw, just apply as normal screen protector. Also, i have seen one film screen protector that sticks up to the back of the phone (not the whole back) and it's definitely not gonna peel off as the screen protector does not end on the edges, but on the back which is quite clever i think so that the protector will really be protected up to its edges and it will not peel off at the same time. It's a very thin film so cases will still fit.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] theprfct10:
Cool, do you remember the brand of that one?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MarkerBeanXDA:
The one i saw was from ScreenSecure i think but many stalls are doing it in malls for about $4.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] rgaritacr@gmail.com:
I´ve never had a scratch with iphones before, for years, obviously not counting when my iphone 5s fell to the floor
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BarryH_GEG:
It scratches at level 6 on the hardness scale which is pretty typical of high-end smartphones. Saying "my previous phones never scratched" is like saying "I never had an accident in my previous cars" after having an accident in your current one and then blaming the manufacturer. .
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] theprfct10:
Dude he's just making a comparison that's all.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MarkerBeanXDA:
It's either your iphone screen was made of sapphire or you just don't see it. Micro scratches are hard to see. Not even visible on bright light. It can only be seen on certain lightning condition.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] slind:
Exactly. Mostly from wiping them clean with a not so clean cloth. People telling you they never have scratches on the device even without a screen-protector are either lying or dont see them.

Check if media server is eating battery or not

Some times when we dnld a file and pause it in a middle then media server scans it over and over it may be a reason....

Yes, media server normally causes some heat on X Play, but 65 celsius seems like way too much. I have squid r19 but no overheating issues. Though, microphone recently refused to work. I'm looking for an answer before proceeding to replace it...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] cpu2007:
I am not sure what the problem could be or whether I have to change some settings but my phones wifi as well as the Bluetooth don't work as expected.

I connect to the wifi at home, then if I go out i switch it off, when later in the evening I turn it on again, it doesn't auto connect (despite me clicking the auto-connect checkbox when putting the password) and I have to go back to settings click on the desired wifi and put the password again; this happens also when I restart my phone( it keeps asking me for my password)

The same goes with the bluetooth, on my s6 it would connect automatically to my car Bluetooth once I went through the initial settings, now even after the initial pair, it doesn't connect unless I put my bluetooth device on discovery mode again.

It's a rooted s8 with MAGISK,twrp installed on it.

I have tried to reset network and other setting,clear cache but no success.

any advice?

[HTC Vox] unkown:
hello

Somone try wirte to vox rom from s730 ? or can be it relly and meby work or not ? its to same smart and difrents are more ram faster cpu and gps ( but vox to have "gps" ;D )

Meby its good idea to get new rom's to vox :) or if cant be use from wings meby remake something and then be work

sorry for my eng;/ :)
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Seeing as a lot of s730 users complain about very low memory on their devices I wouldn't want to try adaptating the whole rom to the Vox :D

However I already stole some nice things from it, like rsshub which is very good.
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Mh RSS hub is an old version of NewsBreak!
[HTC Vox] unkown:
128 ram on wm06 and low memory ? meby they dont have vox ;D hehe
[HTC Vox] unkown:
PS. rss hub its in 3dmenu pack
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
But newsbreak is not free or did I miss something ?
[HTC Vox] madds:
Actually it's a 64mb ram device.
[HTC Vox] unkown:
s730 have 64mb ? i allways hear its 128mb ;| so if have low memory its lake vox and meby on rom from s730 vox will better work :)
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Yes you are right, it isn't free! And RSSHub has nearly the same features!

:D
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
never really got why they made the s730 with 64mb (if you are correct)...i mean most smartphones nowadays are embedded wtih 128mb are they not? would be awesome if my vox had 128 :( always finding myself cleaning the vox to save memory :(

oh and with teh s730 being thicker than the s710 does the s730 offer anything more than more storage and faster cpu?
[HTC Vox] lastOne:
the things missing from S710 ... GPS, 3G
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JohnPyn:
Hi guys, so I've been fiddling with unlock methods for quite a while now. Still haven't found the best solution I feel. I gave up on the iris scanner, it was too unaccurate during sunny days and I really didn't like when it showed my pixelated face. I've been trying with face recognition however I find it to be a little slow. Am I setting it up wrong? Should all my face be visible when I set it up? Or should I do bits at a time moving the camera around? I still can't find the best solution, I'm thinking of using it without any lock at all at this point but I wanted some kind of protection, however small that may be
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] xeathpk:
When you initially set up your facial recognition make sure to do it in a well lit area. Make sure you you don't have anything obstructing your face like glasses, hats or hair. Dont dance around and shake your camera. Honestly, there's really no secret to this feature.

Just take a clear image of your face from straight on in good light and it should work well to unlock your phone even in substandard light. I'm always amazed by how well this feature works even at night and it does work well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JohnPyn:
It does work well but I just feel it's slow, not super slow but quite slow
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] xeathpk:
If there's noticeably poor lighting don't be surprised if it takes an extra second to recognize your face. The feature is useful but it's not magic and it can't make your front facing camera see in the dark. Also make sure that you have "Faster Recognition" enabled under Face Recognition to unlock as fast as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JohnPyn:
The lighting is good, when it's poor I don't even try face recognition. I set it up in a well lit environment as well so there should be no problem there and yeah I do have faster face recognition enabled but still the iris scanner for instance is light years faster but that has the problems I explained in the first post
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] gleepious:
I've been messing with this myself and it seems to be very light dependant. One tip that I've picked up, that i thought I'd share with people is this. Set your lock screen to an almost completely white wall paper. That way, even in the dark, it will light your face up enough to allow recognition. It works pretty well for me.

Hi all.

I have tried but to no avail to access recovery mode on this phone.

Does anyone know how I can access recovery mode, please?

Thanks in advance :)
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] Ticklefish:
It looks like you need to unlock the bootloader and flash a recovery image. That's if Sony have created a recovery image for this phone. If not, then you can't.

Or you'll just have to wait for some developers to start working on this device. Hopefully we'll have root and recoveries soon...

Hi!

The Xperia phone doesn't have a stock recovery, it just isn't a bootable thing.

You could however install a custom recovery, completely up to you.

No bubbles, no dust, works with case and covers the edge. Its a film rather than tempered glass - similar to ZAGG but a fraction of the price (£5.19) and not as grippy.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Guides, News, & Discussion] SAFI_AFRIDI:
Dear Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime User.​

A Guy Name Dragonii Requested For a QCN File. and its Procedure. So now you Guys can restore IMEI by the Following Guide.

1: Download IMEI Converter.

2: Download QPST from here.

3: Download ADB Fastboot drive.

4: Download Qualcomm Driver.

5: Download NotePad++.

6: Download Redmi 4 Prime QCN File.

Follow the following steps to solve IMEI error on Redmi 4 Prime device :

1: Run Minimal ADB and Fastboot setup and following commands to enable diag mode.

adb shell

su

getprop sys.usb.config

OR​

Dial on the Keypad - *#*#13491#*#*

2: Launch IMEI converter and enter Your original IMEI number and convert this number in a specific format. Same thing do for slot 2 IMEI and note down these converted string in notepad.

3: Find this string in QCN file “08 8A 36 82 05 83 67 33 28” and replace with the number which you convert via IMEI converter tool.

4: Find again for sim slot 2 “08 8A 36 82 05 83 67 33 09” and replace with the string which you convert for SIM 2.

5: Again launch Minimal ADB and Fastboot and run Following commands.

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/modemst1

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/modemst2

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 of=/sdcard/fsg

These commands will create a backup of the existing images.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20

reboot

These commands will wipe off the modemst1 modemst2 and fsg partitions.

6: Again follow first step to enable diag mode.

7: Now run QPST software and select the Ports tab.

8: You should see the port added automatically.

9: Now Click on the Start Clients option on the Top Menu bar. and select Software Download.

10: Click on the restore tab and then browse to the file that you just saved.

11: Now click the start Button.

12: Once it is done Reboot your system and You should have your IMEI restored.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Guides, News, & Discussion] dragonii:
Some corrections needed:

- The keypad code to trigger diag mode is *#*#13491#*#* on the Redmi 4 Prime

- Step 3: the dummy IMEI codes are 800000000000000, both for SIM1 and SIM2

- To edit the QCN file, you should NOT use Ultraedit but Hex Editor to keep the original file format intact

- Step 10: you probably have to check the box "Allow phone/file ESN mismatch" (I don't remember anymore if I had to do it) if you encounter an error when restoring

Thanks for the effort!
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Guides, News, & Discussion] T3sla:
Useful guide, a lot of people asking for QCN files lately...

Just a heads up that messing with the imei is illegal in many countries and even owning the tools to do it is a crime. As such xda has banned all talks about how to do it.

There are only 2 acceptable ways on xda.

1. Restore the backup that you should have made or flash stock rom

2. Return to oem to fix
