[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrollette:
My Pixel C is fully changed but the screen is black and won't display anything at all. I know it is on because I can take screenshots with the hardware button and hear the noise. I can also see it on Android Device Manager. I have long pressed with all the different button combinations. It reboots but the screen shows NOTHING (not even the Google boot logo).

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

It is stock and not rooted but subscribed to the Beta channel.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mightywhites29111971:
I has this problem today as well and I'm on beta as well. I had to press the volume down button as well as the power button to get into recovery mode and rebooted from there. I can only assume it's something to do with the beta as I have not had this before I updated to O beta.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrollette:
I didn't elect to install O. I didn't see the update notification in the last couple weeks before it had this problem.

I can't get to recovery because the screen is off. How did you do it? Or were you able to see the screen after holding the volume down button as well as the power button to get into recovery mode?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mightywhites29111971:
I had to hold both buttons down for about 30 secs and then I got into recovery mode. From there I just restarted the device.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrollette:
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, that is not working. I have tried holding for 60 seconds just to be sure. It is so strange!
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mightywhites29111971:
Not sure what it is in that case. Have you tried the volume up button to get fast boot mode?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creeperlwd:
I am having this problem aswel, on the android O beta. I can not use it and I can not see the bootloader when holding down power + volume down

edit: resolved the issue by trying button combinations until it booted (took around 2 hours total with time of disappointment in between)

edit2: oh my ****ing god it booted correctly (showed bootloader warning + bootlogo + lockscreen) but it locked and now it's black again!

edit3: was able to get into fastboot after 3 tries so i'm flashing the factory image right now (7.1.2)

edit4: flashed 7.1.2 factory image and was able to fastboot boot into twrp but still no display.

edit5: i am now troubleshooting i checked all the files in /sys/devices/50000000.host1x/54400000.dsi/54400000.dsi.0/backlight/lpm102a188a-backlight/ they all indicate 255 which is 100% anyone have any ideas?

final edit: i fixed it by trying a **** ton of times

Hello,

Can you tell what have you do to repair the pixel? Have the same issues after Oreo update :/
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheoQc:
Anyone found a way to fix permanently? Mine started doing it around Christmas 2018, and it takes more and more tries every time (to ctrl-down power) and at some point it works... Then all stays fine until I close the lid or put it to seep.

Did someone reinstalled completly the os and got a success? I am not rooted, this started when It tried (and failed) to install 8.1 (update of oreo).

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ASimpleSock:
I'm getting awful battery life too. Rooted, Pure Nexus. Oh and Elemental X kernel. Any advice? Pls? See the screenshot. I'm using greenify and forcedoze too.

When I open Android system or Google services it shows constant cpu usage. (10hr+)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jhs39:
First of all I never got good battery life on Pure Nexus compared with stock or other custom ROMs. Second battery apps can do more harm than good when combined with Doze. The only one I could actually recommend is Naptime by Franco. I definitely don't recommend Greenify with more recent versions of Android that include Doze. I would go into the Ex Kernel manager app and see what your kernel settings actually are. You might be using performance focused settings which eat up a lot more battery than more balanced ones do. If you've done a dirty install of Pure Nexus recently doing a clean install might help.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] yung40oz84:
That's not true, I've ran every custom ROM on pixel XL, and PN gives the best battery life by far. I myself haven't had good battery or success with EX kernel personally. Also, I highly doubt it's the ROM or kernel causing all that drain. It's an app, or something running in the background keeping the CPU awake all the time. I don't use any battery saving all either, zero. Never had this. This is a rogue app or something. Use BBS and see what's causing the drain .

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitterBuffaloh:
I'm trying to distance myself from Google products. Which is a bit hard since I have an Android phone. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on a custom ROM that has the least amount of Google implementation (Google Now, etc). I usually use Pure Nexus, which is great. But it still has Google Now and since it's on the pixel firmware, it's on the home screen.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indian84:
You can flash Purenexus without GApps. Simple solution. You would not have any Google Services.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
[MENTION=7342002]BitterBuffaloh[/MENTION], it's simple: take a lite ROM without GApps.

Despair, SAOSP, ABC, Tesla (sorted by number of features).
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitterBuffaloh:
Ok, will try. Never heard of any of those ROMS. Despair, SAOSP, ABC, TESLA. Interesting! Gotta do some research. I've tried Pure Nuxus, Dirty Unicorns, and Reserruction Remix.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
[MENTION=7342002]BitterBuffaloh[/MENTION]: PureNexus is out, since Beans decided to merge GApps. Manually remove isn't efficient. Resurrection and DU without GApps won't differ much with my suggestions. For best battery life try SAOSP +Franco kernel unchanged.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitterBuffaloh:
Ok, will give this a shot. Thank you. Shame PurNexus merged with GApps.

Edit: Careful with CopperheadOS: https://www.reddit.com/r/CopperheadOS/comments/8qdnn3/goodbye/e0icslc/

If you want to go full Google free and improve your phone's security at the same time, try CopperheadOS. I don't think they have a thread on XDA, but they are well known among privacy-conscious users. It's AOSP without the Google stuff.

Downloads: https://copperhead.co/android/downloads

Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/CopperheadOS/

Tweets (were they publish interesting info): https://twitter.com/CopperheadOS

Or if you want to use something more familiar, just install LineageOS without any Gapps. You can also try other custom ROMs, but I'm not sure if they are as secure as LineageOS.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitterBuffaloh:
Awesome, will try that too.

My other question is without the App store installed how do I go about getting apps for my phone like Camera, Maps, etc. I can download Fdroid from my PC, then install it on my phone. Then get most my stuff from Fdroid?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S4turno:
I think the best solution is to try to find free alternatives to the apps you need on Fdroid, but some content is just not available there.

What I do is to have another phone with Google Play, get the apps/updates and then transfer the apk's to my Nexus 5X. It's annoying to do all this, but I only have the basic stuff installed so it's not a big deal.

Anyway, we get better privacy by moving away from Google, but I'm not sure if we are as safe. We have to trust other users here on XDA, websites that host apk's and Fdroid... If Google, with all their experience, money and resources sometimes fails to keep their store clean, imagine what happens outside their walled garden.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitterBuffaloh:
Ah, yes. This is true. Thanks for the copperhead recc, I'm going to try that out as I want to move away from Google due to security / privacy. I think copperhead is a bit over my head, as I'm not a security expert, but seems worth a shot.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
[MENTION=4487956]S4turno[/MENTION]: thanks for Copperhead-link. I'll look at it.

A more conveniant way to get apps from GPlay is apk-downloaders.com. They download on their account from GPlay and forward to you. But it's for free apps only and you must look for updates by yourself.

Hi [MENTION=4487956]S4turno[/MENTION]

It seems the Coppperhead project has been discontinued for some legal reasons. Do you know any other Google free custom ROM?

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S4turno:
I guess the main alternative is LineageOS? It's not as focused on security, but it should be okay if your main intention is to run a phone without Google stuff.

recently i buy a LG V20 H918 it was fine,

i pay 350 in craigslist a week a go is there a way to fix it.

please i appreciate any help thanks,
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] rubiicon59:
It can't be "fixed".

I bet you'll have no joy finding and contacting the seller again.

Just a guess but I think as it's been reported lost you're now considered the finder and would be expected to "hand it in".

Not doing so would make it theft...? I don't know....

But it looks like you've been crapped on.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Thilain:
I can relate to this in recent events. Bought an US996 V20 from someone on offerup, used it for like 2months now only to receive a Rent-a-center lock. I called the number provided and they said they would only give me $50 when i paid 400 for it, so i decided to keep it. I'm expecting them to report it also, looking for ways to fix or change IMEI too.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Team DevDigitel:
this sounds like insurance fraud, they sold you phone, then reported it lost and filed a claim.

call the police and file a report, and call asurion and inform them you had purchased the phone from the account holder and it could be a case of insurance fraud.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saturday_night:
Hi Guys,

i´m making my first own bootanimation and i am nearly complete done. There is just one single problem thats driving me crazy with the desc.txt. I did read about 5 or 6 different "how tos" but if i change the desc.txt file to what i want the device just dont show the bootanimation. This is my actual desc.txt:

1080 1080 30

c 1 0 part1

c 0 0 part2

c 1 0 part3

Sure there is an empty line at the end and with this the bootanimation is working but not the way i want it. I would like to have it without a loop. As i understand the guides i did read correct it should look like this:

1080 1080 30

c 1 0 part1

c 1 0 part2

c 1 0 part3

But if i change it that way the animation isnt playing at all. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction or tell me what i´m doing wrong. Would be really great if someone could help me.

Regards.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biker1bob:
Hi all, I have a note 2 shg-i317 that was originally on Bell in Canada. It was unlocked and the aws mod done to it, I use freedom mobile, aka T-mobile in the states.

I was running a Rom for the past 3 years Slimfast 4.4 and liked it. I had tried Nugat on another phone, thought I would try the [ROM][7.1.2][OFFICIAL] LineageOS for N7105

I did the upgrade, broke the root, could not get a few things working, so I decided to restore the Slimfast backup I had just made (complete including modem etc) and everything works except the GPS.

GPS for me is huge, I use it a lot. I cannot lock on to 1 satellite now. Before i was able to lock onto a minimum of 16 in about 30-45 seconds, if outside.

I really dont care if I can get to 7.1 at the moment. I need my GPS back - any troublshooting for getting GPS to work on this phone?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron13:
I would try to flash the original stock for your phone and country from sammobile. com

Gps should work normaly then. If not your hardware is broken. If it works you can always flash your data back from your Slimfast rom.

Crap, I am posting here, because I did it again. Again not sure how. I tried to run Reserection, and I guess that messed up the GPS.

To put the original stock rom on.. I have to do that through ODIN? I dont remember how I fixed this last year.. Sorry.

Hope somone can help I need the GPS.

ps. Used odin 3.09 to flash the original rom... still no GPS
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biker1bob:
The Rom that I flashed to try and restore the GPS was I317MVLUDNF1_I317MOYADNF1_BMC (mine was an originally BELL phone)

But that did not repair the GPS from me flashing resurection.. I THINK did it. I flashed an android 6 and an android 7 rom. (Mokee) but tried to go back to my Slimfast.. and the GPS was now broken.

Basically what I did a year ago.. somehow I fixed it then.. but cannot remember at all how I did it.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
The note 2 sold by Rogers, Bell, and Telus are exactly the same model and stock roms from these carriers can be cross flashed.

Try flashing the stock ROM twice in Odin with a factory reset in between each flash.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biker1bob:
I have backups (complete all partitions) of my rom.. Slimfast 4.4 from 2-3 days ago.. when I tried this. SO.. if I can get the Factory rom to restore the GPS.. how can I restore the backup.. I saw somewhere that the EFS partition could be left out and that might help? dont restore the modem? how??

James
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I meant flash with Odin, boot into stock recovery, factory reset, flash again with Odin, boot into stock recovery, factory reset, and boot into the stock ROM.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biker1bob:
Nope, still no GPS lock.. I have the flashing circle (always had) and it will not lock.. I read about where people go into a service mode and rebuild the NV? .. I assume this is something that Mokee or Reserection did.. not sure how.

Any other ideas?

James
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biker1bob:
what about using Odin or TWRP to put different modems in? does the modem effect the GPS?

tried this.. does not seem to. grrrrr wish I knew how I fixed this.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I assume there are no loose wires. Does it get a lock when using wifi? Not sure what else to suggest.

Not sure about rebuilding NV.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biker1bob:
No.. I broke it with playing with custom roms.. Liniage was last year.. I did not try that this year.. but tried both android 6 reserection and android 7 Mokee.. and I am pretty sure they messed it up.. I am also pretty sure there was something I did .. easy like load an old STOCK rom and it fixed it.. I was then able to put my slimfast 4.4 back over it and it was fine. Unfortunatly .. not enough people still using this device.. I will have to have patience I guess.

James
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biker1bob:
So I have tried differenct stock roms, but I think the issue is ODIN will not restore code from a rom image that is HARDWARE based. I wanted to use Samsung smartswitch but they disabled the part of it that allowed you to factory reset the phone, this seemed to work for several people. Many have also reported entering a code and going into a service mode.. there you can do to a menu that will rebuild hardware modules back to default. But I have not been able to get into that mode because it seems to be a touchwiz only option, and I cannot find a factory rom that is touchwiz based for this model.

What needs to be done is a true FACTORY ROM image.. that would revert all software and hardware back to original, but I cannot seem to find that anywhere.

James
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
The only factory roms that I know of come from places like sammobile.com and they are all based on TouchWiz which is Samsung's launcher.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biker1bob:
So guess what? put Ressurection back on.. and the GPS is back.

I hope you can enlighten me regarding my bricked phone.

I tried to convert to Dual SIM following this guide:

https://xdaforums.com/p8lite/general/guide-debranding-converting-single-sim-t3305977

I tried to flash the version (ALE-L02) that was in that guide and but it failed during the fastboot process because of a partittion error. I guess that was because I've tried to flash a stock room from a different model version (mine is PRA-LX1).

https://www.guidebeats.com/2017/02/21/nougat-b140-huawei-p8-lite-2017/

Because I don't have a micro sd card at the moment I used the huawei extractor tool to remove the boot, cust, recovery and system from the files I got from those sites and try to flash via flashboot. The process is done without any kind of errors.

First boot after flash the phone appears that it will start because it displays the logo and the blue bubbles but soon after stays like the image here: https://s1.postimg.o...172118b7227.jpg and wont boot.
