[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] From0toHero:
If i would pay more than 600 Dollar for a mobile it must be perfect. When I pay I don't give them 500 Dollars in perfect condition and 100 Dollar cut in half. They receive all the money also in perfect condition. So it's just fair to expect the same. Congratulations for your new mobile. And i dont want to make you regret your phone but if i would see any dead pixel or any other flaw I will keep returning it till I get a perfect one.

But I understand it's like you mentioned a pain to arrange a swap from freaking Hong Kong to Chile. And was the mobile much cheaper than the prices in Chile? What made you order it from there mate?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Jadraker:
I ordered from Hong Kong because I wanted the Asian version with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB of space. It was a little cheaper than here. The problem is that in Chile this phone will be sold only by one carrier I don't like (Claro). Anyway I received a 10% discount from the seller. The seller is very professional.

I received one device from the first batch so my next phone (maybe HTC U12) will not be from the first batch. I'll wait at least two months since release.

I actually get the same interference/static noise when making a phonecall and transferring data over wifi... anyone else get a similar issue?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] shivadow:
Nope, although I have the 64gb version I don't have any dead pixels or issues with static while wifi is running.

The dead pixel, although annoying, does fall into the normal category for lcd. I believe it is something like 1 in 4million pixels fail and that is within the industry standard for a pass.

You can return the device as "not up to standard" but the seller has the right to refuse to do anything about it because it is within tolerance.

Beamed in by telepathy.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] falsivas:
Just got mine from carphone warehouse UK.... booted up, and guess what... stuck (on) pixel on bottom of screen. Once seen, can't be unseen. Very noticeable in lower light.

Can't even remember the last time I bought a phone with a dud screen (might have been G5 with too much light bleed)

Returned for a refund today (all respect to CPW... no problem with the return).

Think I'll stick with my S8+ because the screen is so much better....looking off angle wasn't a joy on the U11. BUT, I must say, in the short time I had the U11 it is the smoothest phone I've ever had. Fingerprint reader runs rings around S8+. Camera is superb too (a wee bit laggy though).. so Samsung could take a leaf out of HTC's book for UI.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] uppon2:
Hello. I am new to the V20 but not to Android nor XDA. I live in Australia and I'm looking at using custom roms. I wanted to know the limitations to this model. Can I flash other variant roms (T-Mobile/Verizon/Sprint/etc/etc) on the US996 model and then just flash the suitable kernel and modem for my device, or is it more complicated than that? - I ask this coming recently from Samsung Note series where doing what I said is generally possible.

I am also looking at potentially bringing a new ROM to this device as I have previously compiled AOSP roms for Samsung devices and looking to try something new.

Thanks guys

pretty sure you can only flash us996 roms and theres like one out there, Weta. I flashed it and it was nice but I ended up just going back to the stock LG rooted rom. there's really nothing out there for the 996 which sucks bc i bought it since its unlocked and figured it would have most development... clearly I was wrong! lol

[Verizon LG V10] rustypie:
Hello Verizon V10 Community,

I was able to locate the full KDZ file for the Verizon V10 software version 28A, the latest available for the VS990.

You can download it from HERE!

>> NEW DLL FILE REQUIRED TO FLASH!! <<

You must use LGUP to flash this. If you haven't upgraded your DLL file for LGUP, inside this same archive, you'll find a dll file named LGUP_Common.dll. Place that DLL file in C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common. Just as a precaution, change the extension of the existing LGUP_Common.dll to .bak or something in case this doesn't work for you. After you put the new DLL file in that folder, open LGUP and in the very lower left hand corner of the window, you should see DLL Version 1.0.28.17.

Enjoy! If anyone has any questions, feel free to hit me up!

Modifying this kdz file for root?

So what prevents people from just cracking open the kdz, throwing in the files needed or root and recompiling it back into a kdz? can't checksums be hacked to match legit releases. Is that not how that first guy did it back on 11b?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Arcolog2:
Like the title says, my wife is pretty upset. I got us both new unlocked s8+'s from best buy just prior to our cross country trip with our kids.

No SD card installed.

She took 200+ pictures and today they are gone. Only videos remain in the gallery, in my files, or even using a file explorer.

I called Samsung, waste of my time.

Google drive is the only cloud app being used (for documents), pics aren't there.

Any advice or thoughts? I've seen older posts on forums of this happening on android phones and not of the fixes have worked. (Clear cache, search for and remove .nomedia files)

Thanks,

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Kirbocolypse:
Samsung has a junk file cleaner so you can get rid of unnecessary files. Your wife might have accidentally included her photos while getting rid of unnecessary files. You can ask her about this but besides that I don't know why the photos are lost (probably due to hardware error).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Arcolog2:
I'll ask her but I don't think k she did, it still says it can recover 1.5+gigs of space.

I used one of them file digger apps, I was able to retrieve all the smaller 200kb cached pictures from thumbnails and what not, but from what I've read you need root to recover the full size images...

There are a lot of stories of this happening to people when I search it and all different devices. So I hope it's not hardware. SD card going in and Google photo backup being turned on, just like the data thieves wanted us to do in the first place.....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mortuus82:
If internal then she must have done something, if pics dissapear from sdcard its most like corrupt, best is to have that when u take pics it automatically syncs to a cloud service for backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Kirbocolypse:
Are you going to root? Afaik you can only do that on the exynos version (not usa)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Arcolog2:
Correct. No root available yet/ever, was just saying root seems like the only way people are getting back full res lost photos.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] choccy31:
3 Questions

What gallery app are you using? Did she hide or exclude any folders by accident?

Thirdly, try running a recovery programme. You can get for free on the net. So long as she has taken no further photos or put anything else on hard drive should be able to recover.

Finally check all folders on phone and also check camera app settings to ensure the folder they are saving too is correct.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MixEcoSystem:
This issue is not exclusive to the S8 and looking around the internet this is an existing yet unsolved issue on certain Samsung devices. I'll post here to add a bit of extra information.

My mom's Note 4 also had the same exact issue where the pictures just flat out disappeared. (Pictures, videos, screenshots). No traces of it in any folders even with a different file browser. Issue happens again and again with no pattern or known cause. I told her to buy an SD card for it this time so if it did happen again, I have full access to the storage medium. I then set the camera to save to the SD card and let her use it as usual. Guess what, the problem happened again today.

This time I took the SD card, popped it into my PC and ran Recuva recovery. I was able to recover a few intact pictures and videos from it.

Note 4 SM-N910C (Exynos 5 Octa)

Android 6.0.1, Unrooted
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sunwokong:
No root available for S8 yet so none of the recovery tools work, your photos are really gone, that's so sad.

Suggest keep your Google photos sync on and regular backup of your entire phone with Samsung Smart Switch PC version.

See if this help to recover photos from Samsung Galaxy S8+.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] choccy31:
Why do you need root to access recovery programme?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Arcolog2:
Exactly. I've tried multiple gallery apps, file explorers and android file recovery programs (which all end up requiring root).

I don't know why root is required to access the non-root folders for a deep scan, but they do.

I was hoping there was a way with ADB that I could make a copy on the computer to then scan, but I think it's probably a waste of time now.

And yes, it was internal storage like everyone days.

I'm hesitant to use any of the cloud backup programs because of some the vulnerabilities I don't agree with. We don't even put pictures of our kids on Facebook. Which is the most secure and least likely that I'm "agreeing to allow them to use the pictures for anything", because most programs say that in the TOS.

FOR NOW, we put an sd card in. If this seems to be a software issue, should we reset her phone or reflash the unlocked firmware with odin? I wonder if a specific app could be related to it.

I convinced her to not return the pho e, but now I'm not sure it's worth keeping if it's possible to happen again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MixEcoSystem:
You guys can try a factory reset. I am actually going to observe this phenomenon happen. Also my mom doesn't like loosing her game saves. I told her to copy her pictures and videos frequently to her laptop in case it happens again (and it will happen again).

Galaxy S8 photos vanished

Many thanks for this post. I suffered from exactly same problem yesterday. This is the first time ever I had this problem with Samsung. I have been user of Samsung S2, S5 and now S8.

I am extremely disappointed that one of the most expensive mobiles has caused this problem. I am going to contact samsung about it because many important picture files lost.

The only precipitant was that my battery completely drained out yesterday and when I turned it on there was loss of photos last from three days.

This is completely unacceptable service from such an expensive mobile. I am very upset. My camera photos gets saved in SD card and are backed up by samsung cloud as well as in google drive.

Please help me with suggestions to recover the lost data.

Please help me.

My problem was: suddenly my pictures disappeared from the Samsung Gallery App, but they do exist on several folders for ex. DCIM/Camera. Why arent they appearing inside Samsung Gallery? I did nothing different than what I usually do... I am so mad about this! I even did factory reset and I still cant see my pictures on Samsung Gallery :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Mep78:
Same issue here. Just moved over from iPhone.

I've noticed that so far the pics affected have been in their own albums. One was hidden and one wasn't. 1 photo remains from the one that wasn't hidden. I think it only remains because I had texted the pic to someone.

Internal storage.

Developer Mode On.

Auto Update Off.

Have connected phone to a PC via USB prior to issue.

Images don't show in the file folders when I browse them from the My Files app, either. They're gone.

The other odd thing is this may have only started after changing this device name in About Phone.

Anyone else have a changed device name?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] malimukk:
You guys should sync with Google Photos!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] tfoerster:
This issue happened to me after I updated to the latest 8.0 android build 3 days ago. The storage space that my files occupied is still in use so I assume they are still there somewhere. I can see a few folders with some of the pictures in the native Samsung file browser app that cannot be seen on the gallery app but over 20000 images saved on the phone are not there anymore including WhatsApp images.

I assume soemone just screwed up the file system of the directory structure when messing up some line of programming forcing android to rebuild / reset of something that indicated the location of the files rendering them invisible or unreachable since they are lost by the directory structure.

every picture i take gets saved by google photos and deleted off my phone to save space AUTOMATICALLY... i dont seem to have this problem (probably because i'm running s7 active) but i do have the oreo update and the only thing they screwed up was the ability to assign custom text tones to contacts... so annoying having to check my phone every time someone texts but that also was fixed with another app (which i shouldnt have to do in the first place if it wasnt taken out from android 7 to 8.... -.-)

I have a Samsung S8 and this just happened to me yesterday. I've never had an issue losing photos or not being able to recover photos from my phones until now.

All my photos were there and now 100's are gone. I didn't have all of them backed up either.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] cr33p3r1n1134:
I've been searching around the web and have not found an answer to this problem. Regardless of the phone being on silent, vibrate, or even do not disturb, text notifications still interrupt the music that is playing. It happens with Google Play Music, Pandora, and Spotify.

I downloaded a couple apps to manage media and notification volumes individually, but one didn't work at all, and the other simply muted the notification but the music still lowers for a second, as if the notification is still occuring.

Can anyone help me out? This is quite frustrating.

Please, and thank you for your time.

Update: I noticed this only occurs with a headset plugged in or connected via Bluetooth. When using the phone's speakers for music playback, notifications do not interrupt the music.

Workaround: I managed to find a slightly more bearable solution. Here is basically what I did.

1 - Download third party texting app for play store.

2 - Assign new text app as default.

3 - Go to Settings -> Apps, find stock messaging app, and disable all notification settings.

4 - Modify new text app notifications to vibrate only.

I don't know if some of these steps are excessive/unnecessary, but I'm tired of tinkering around so much, so I'm settling here. I hope this can help someone that finds themselves in the same situation. Again, I do not claim this to be the best solution; just slightly less bad.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Istiraven:
Guys

I am trying to flash my zenfone 2 with

"Intel platform flash tool"

And it is the only software that recognizes and shows that my device is connected.

But it required a "flash.xml"file for the process and I cannot find such file in my downloaded stock ROM.(after unzipping)

Please any guide

How can I flash my zenfone which has a damaged Bootloader? (So no boot options are available)

And where can I find that "flash.xml" file?

Thanks.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sukhwant717:
you need to use xFSTK to flash the bootloader. even if you use intel flash tool that also you have to use xFSTK as external tool to recover your device. unfortunately you will not get that xml file you have to write it yourself. i could write it if it was necessary. but i don't think that will have any beneficial comparing the time spent on it. go to the following guide as do step by step as recommended. keep in mind if xFSTK in unable to recover you BL. intel flash tool can not help even you write or get that flash.xml. one more tip regarding recovering device. if you r able to get the temp bootloader. do not use asus flash tool. use commands method. AFT may push you to unrecoverable state.

Hi.

Thanks for the reply

I have performed the process in exact same way it was described.

But something went wrong,

I don't know what exactly happened.

Now my phone isn't even turning on

Or vibrating or no USB sign.

But isoc driver and xfstk is still detecting my phone as moorefield device.

I really don't know what happened.

I have tried the process at least 20-30 times

But every time its saying

"Errors encounter during FW download : Aborting"

And fail.
