[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killa357:
This is going to be long, but please bear with me. I'm looking for advice on how to deal with the RMA nonsense that Google has decided to start for whatever reason. A little bit of background first.

I bought my first 6P December of 2015. Shortly after my purchase, I noticed on the right side next to the volume buttons there was a little pinch in the casing. I figured it was something I did. Almost a year goes by. During that time I start dealing with random shutdowns and significantly decreased battery life. I started an RMA for it in February. At that point, the battery had begun to swell rapidly. The volume buttons didn't work anymore. It was probably halfway through January that I noticed there a noticable swelling and that the kink in the case was caused by a bad battery. Google quickly replaced the phone with little trouble, stating that it was a known problem so they would replace the phone even though it was out of its 1 year warranty at this point.

So I got the new phone. Pretty and shiny, works great. Well I noticed that people can't hear me too well sometimes. I assumed this was just my voice, but then realized there was something wrong with the phone. I've had a lot going on so I haven't dealt with it until just recently. I've been doing research on it and have found that the noise cancellation is not functioning on this device. I can manually disable the second mic via build.prop, but this makes it pick up so much noise it is almost unusable. This also disables a major feature of the device, not to mention that I had to have a rooted device to do this. Another issue, which was acknowledged as a known issue by the rep requiring replacement, is that wifi calling is pretty much screwed. People can hear the first and last words I say, but anything in between is silence.

So there is the history, and the issue. Now on to the problem. It seems they are willing to replace the device, but they want to put a hold on my bank account for the cost of the device until they receive the old one. Not only did this require them to change the terms of the warranty service, but it seems like it would be illegal. Does nothing in the consumer warranty protection act prevent them from doing this (holding my funds or changing terms of a warranty?)

What can I do to fight back? They've given me two defective devices so far.

Does anyone know whether the warranty on the 6P is a full warranty, or a limited warranty? Why I ask: If they try to replace it with a working device x numer of times and I do not get a working device out of this, I am entitled to another replacement or a full refund, my choice.

Should I consider another carrier and device at this point? The current struggle I am having with Fi and its customer service is becoming a nightmare.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
I don't know if there is a change in their warranty.

I have Nexus Protect and it has always been the case.

I've always expected it.

They don't actually charge the card.

I'm not sure how you can fight it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mukid728:
Hi all

I've been having issues with my 4g connection whilst on roaming since the last update. Everytime the phone tries to connect to 4g the connection completely drops out and then reconnects to 3g. Basically I can only get 3g whilst overseas and as the phone keeps trying to connect to 4g, it constantly drops out. This doesn't happen whilst back in the home country at all, only whilst roaming. I've tried a factory reset but the problem persists. Very confused and would appreciate any tips or help? Thanks all!

Someone check and reply!!

I dropped my one plus in curd...

And after that picked it up and cleaned my charging port with a brush and a blast of hot air

Now I think thay the charging port is a little bit loose... Not loose enough that charging goes on off... But definitely not tight... Like It can be moved a little ... But moving it doesn't disconnect it..

Maybe I am getting obsessed... But can anyone confirm.... Remove your cover and check the charging port...

Is it all the Ah tight kcan you move the charging USB a little once it is plugged in!!

Do remove your cover before trying..

[General Questions and Answers] chitreshsinha:
My Mi5 is facing a weird issue. Have jotted down all details below. Has anyone else faced this issue? What is the fix? Please help!

1. The phone works fine as long as the screen is on. It does not hang or face any issues.

2. After locking the phone, the screen does not come on (this happens sometimes not always). It always happens when I leave the phone un-touched for a while. The phone remains on (I can hear the lock sounds, phone ringing and also see the keypad lights) however the screen does not come on. I need to wait for a long time for it to work after multiple presses of the unlock button or I need to restart the phone.

3. I do not think it is a screen issue because it works when on. I think it is the 'sleep of death' issue.

4. I have reset the phone. I have re-loaded the global MiUI 8 ROM and also tried loading the developer rom. I have not rooted the phone so far. Happy to do it if needed.

5. The issue does not happen if I have the music player on and lock the screen. It tends to happen only when the phone goes totally to sleep with no applications using it in the background.

Please let me know what I can do to fix the issue.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skaterpunk001:
Hi!

I have the Sony Xperia E3 (which is just an emergency phone because my old one broke), this phone has really little memory so I always used App2SD to move apps to my SD card. Yesterday this didn't help because Google Play Services used just too much memory. So I decided to try to move them to SD. It worked but now I always get a pop up which says "Google Play Services stopped working". You can close this pop up with "OK" but then the next is coming up. The pop ups open so quickly that I can not use my phone anymore because the pop ups prevent me from clicking anything else.

Do I have any chance of reverting this or do I have to fully wipe the phone? I'm on Android 4.4.4 if this makes any difference.

I hope you can help me,

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] trojan92:
Hey guys, I'm living in the UK and was wondering where the best place to purchase this phone from was. Best in terms of price and customs fee. I've seen various places mentioned but am still a bit hesitant as I've never bought anything from outside the UK before and have no experience in doing so.

Also, those of you who have bought this phone from overseas, how was the experience? Did you have to pay a customs fee and if so, how much was it? How did the phone arrive? On top of never having purchased from overseas, customs fee etc, I'm also worried about how the phone will arrive. Was it packaged properly, or was the phone damaged in any way? Did Google Play come preinstalled and does the phone work on o2's frequency?

I know I'm asking a lot of questions but I've been meaning to upgrade from my Moto X Style and always come back to this phone.

If the community could answer my questions, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks you!

They have it in stock at their warehouse in italy.

Not the cheapest tho, but no taxes makes it ok.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] trojan92:
So no customs fee to ship to UK? Great! How did the phone arrive? Was the condition as expected? (perfect condition, no flaws whatsoever)

And I'm assuming by the "global rom" mentioned in the title, it comes preloaded with Google Play and the rest of the Google apps?

Thanks for the speedy reply, buddy.

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] MalcJPM:
Hi,

I ordered mine through Gearbest, came with the global ROM which I've stuck with so far. It takes OTAs.

It does take a bit of getting used to after coming from Lineage, but with Nova launcher on top it's passable.

As for customs duties, I used their standard free shipping and it wasn't stopped. It came very well packaged; lined jiffy bag and all that.

Timing-wise, ordered on the 22nd June and received 4th July; so if you can wait it's a good option.

It was received perfect, all seals intact. They threw in an adapter for the plug as well. One in the box isn't a UK plug.

A quick Google shows it's on Gearbest at the moment for £335. That's a tenner cheaper than I paid!

Overall, I'd do it again (though hopefully not for a while yet!).
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] khajiit:
Ordered my first Xiaomi (Redmi Note 3 SE) from Honorbuy.

- Shipping was really fast (2-3 days) but very expensive (about EUR 40,-)

- Packaging was just a plastic bag, box was little damanged on the corners and it came opened

Ordered my next Xiaomi, the Mi 6 from Gearbest on June 25 and it was delivered on July 10. Bought it during a flash sale for EUR 326,-

- No custom fee nor shipping cost via Priority Line > Germany Express

- Came with Global ROM 8.2.2.0 (NCAMIEC), google services preinstalled and sealed

- Packaging see screenshot below

- My experience overall was pretty satisfying, i could track the whole process.

How did you do that??
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] kolembo:
http://www.xiaomidevice.com/xiaomi-mi6-plus.html
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] hbbxmjbb:
Xiaomi said that address is unofficial.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] kolembo:
That is VERY strange indeed. That site is who I got my Ceramic blue from - and all the official papers INCLUDING a very official warranty and pre and post delivery phone call verification from.

They were very thorough, all the way to certifying my IMEI numbers and providing a service number because Xiaomi really doesn't have centers in Africa.

So, I really don't know what to say. Who did YOU call...?

P.S. Just did a check and you are indeed CORRECT! So I may have been lucky....always use PayPal.

Xiaomi do say they are a recognised vendor though and the phone is 100% legit and they will honor warranty BUT only through them because Xiaomi is not OFFICIALLY in Kenya.

Heh. I guess this is everyone's problem eh, with Xiaomi. As far as I could tell, they're only OFFICIALLY in China!

So, for reference, they did mention Gearbest also but none of these are official Xiaomi.

They have an official store in Singapore (heh....!)

The long and short of it was that if you are buying from abroad, there are a number of vendors they deal directly with and exchange imei and serial no. information to make sure as far as possible that only genuine products are being sold. They wouldn't tell me who, only that they would recognised warranty from this site but not directly from me.

So actually - I have to deal with Xiaomi Devices directly if I encounter repair/warranty issues.

When I checked back with Xiaomi Devices they will replace/refund if returned within a month completely. After that, for a year, warranty still stands as free BUT you pay for shipping.

After that they offer support until the phone dies as just a regular support/dealer/repair.

I got the phone from China through Hong Kong so they are Chinese based - which explains the very awkward communication - not dodgy in my eyes, very sincere, just.... Very Chinese!

I did ask how to buy directly from Xiaomi and they said they didn't think it was possible but they'll get back to me.

One thing though. Xiaomi direct is concerned with China sales. The reason they accept warranty from these 'partners' for international sales is that these partners are obliged to make sure that the phones they sell are international. I am not sure what that means but I think the suggestion was that if I shop from XIAOMI direct, I get a Chinese device and it's up to me to International-ise it.

All very obscure. So yes, Xiaomi Device is NOT Xiaomi.... You will have to make your choice.

I have bought from Gearbest before but this lot feel more thorough....they also had the Blue Ceramic almost immediately, day one, and their shipping is DHL and very quick.

actually there was no problem in hotspot, flash rom first than patch, it works perfectly!
[Nokia X] emmauss:
does it work for carbon kk?
[Nokia X] saigetshu:
I haven't try in other rom. But, if you wanna try. Please make nand backup first.
[Nokia X] saigetshu:
Yes, of course. But sometimes wifi or hotspot does not work on the first boot if wifi at startup wifi settings skipped or turned off. Even if the patch has been paired or re-flashed. So the hotspot is automatically disabled and unusable. And I found in build.prop there is the same settings but with different values, does it have no effect on the performance of the device? For example, lowmem parameters with the same command but different values in build.prop. I checked it out.

hi

i root my phone XSG(SM-G935F) s7 edge with CF-Auto Root and my phone is dead means its only showing Samsung logo(Boot Loop). not even booting in safe mode and i do the factory reset after that my phone turn on. but now some apps(like s7edge feed) is not working(root failed)

root-checker shows its not rooted

is there any special root file for different country's like.... root file for xsg ROM ?.

i used this one to root - CF-Auto-Root-hero2lte-hero2ltexx-smg935f

Now i want to go again in stock ROM. I downloaded ROM zip from sammobiles and when i unzip it theres 5 files

like :-

AP

BL

CP

CSC

HOME_CSC

SO MY QUESTION IS is that i can flash AP only ? OR

DO i must flash 4 files together ?

currently after flash the root file my phone edge feed is not working

after all everything working fine not including the software update

so what should i do ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
Hi

to your questions:

CF Autoroot as far as i know is not working correctly on Nougat you have to root with TWRP and SuperSu or Magisk zip file

Flashing , as you do not really know what happen during rooting I would flash with all 4 files AP ,CP, BL and CSC or home_csc ( if you want to preserve your data and avoid factory reset use home_csc BUT it has the sama as the one you currently have installed)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] alvin.p.b.:

I think I may have found a workaround for 2gb users to get more apps running on the device: run in 32 bit mode. See this study by linaro for details on the ram impact of arm64 for some background,

https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/MemoryFootprintAnalysis

As for how to do this, I recompiled an aosp room with a flag set in boardconfig.mk, TARGET_PREFER_32_BIT := true, then forced gapps arm to install on aarch64... but I think there might be an easier way. Any devs care to weigh in?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] adithyan25:
most probable reason there may be running apps in background..try using greenify to hibernate all running apps
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] blackbodypie:
I haven't used the phone extensively but first impression is yes, better multitasking. Although this might be due to just coming from an older LineageOS build. Taking a look at the running services screen right now, I'm sitting at 885/309/652 System/Apps/Free. This isn't a true 32-bit ROM, just running most things on the 32-bit zygote. It's still using a 64-bit kernel and userland, so it could be possible that pointers and such are still all 64-bit.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] iG0tB0lts:
I see. Just if you wanted my low-level solution for the multitasking issue, I use a custom kernel that has lz4 zram compression, and set it to 384mb(I'm using EX kernel + RR) and use greenify and freeze system apps like email, etc. I would say the zram setting makes a noticeable difference.

Hello there,

I have recently switched to an Oppo A37f. I downgraded it and managed to root it. Viper 4 android is one of the favorite applications I use so I went ahead and installed it. However, despite installing all the V4A drivers and stuff, i feel no difference in the audio quality. The system comes with default Dirac HD which doesn't even come close to how good V4A performs. I would like to have someone help me with Viper for Android soonest, as it is one of the main things I need on any phone.

Thanks !

-Does this have to do something with color os ? I've worked on MIUI, stock android and never had this issue.

-Apart from viper for android i've used non root apps like Bass EQ, Bass Bosster, V4A(on play store) from the play store but none of them make any change to the audio no matter how much I mess around with the values on the EQ.
