[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cutoffcirc:
I got one after my original NEW one died. Can't tell the difference...works fine. Sprite backup is a lifesaver. Restored to refurbished one almost perfectly. Just had to re-input some registration codes and fix email (app to do that).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] madcheeku:
I got one last week. Innitially was planning to sell it and continue using my flashed 8125 but just couldn't do it.:p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] XtreMe_G:
The first one i got had a stuck pixel, so did an exchange and got another one. I did a little bit of complaining, so they overnight the replacement to me.

and also, according to the rep that i spoke to, these come with a 1 year warranty, so for $150 and still a 1 year warranty.......you just cant go wrong with that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] D3vr04:
Reassuring

Okay, Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll order the premier refurb today! Is it

wise

to wait until warranty expire to flash/mod, or can I just dive in? after reading more about flashing/upgrading of course.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mook32:
150$?

Ok, looking at picking up a refurb'd tilt, looks sweet.

I see the 150$ price, but only if I sign up for a 2 year contract...?

Is everyone on here signing a 2 year contract? or am I missing something?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] BBM-Lee:
Refirb is a mixed barrel. You will get some that were used/abused and then flashed and re-cased... other returns could simply be "It's not for me" with almost no usage...

However, some retailers have a "No Open Box" policy on phones, if its returned after a 5 minute call it's returned to the vendor -- It's mostly a legal issue, since it could have someone's private data/contact list loaded and unprotected -- this policy ensures they are not responsible if that gets out after the Manufacturer wipes it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] m.photo:
I bought a refurbished tilt. I was pretty apprehensive about it. but I figured, hey, I spent $360 on my 8125 and that was used from eBay, so...why not $150 on something that comes with a guarantee from AT&T?

Other then the sticker on the screen looking like it had been removed and replaced, there was no indication that anything about it was used externally. Inside, under device information, it counted 15 min for incoming calls and 36 min for outgoing calls. That's all. Maybe someone used it and found it too difficult? Or maybe they tried using a BT headset and promptly returned it because the BT stack SUCKS. my only real complaint about the Tilt and that has zero do it with it being refurbished.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] khaytsus:
My first Tilt had a very obviously defective keyboard, every key surrounding the right soft key didn't work and the softkey itself was raised up so high it would press itself most of the time when closed.

My second one has been good!

BTW, I've used 3 PCs, two headsets, and 1 GPS and no bluetooth problems. The only problem I've had is that I've discovered that if the Tilt is powered down (screen off... not totally powered down) sometimes the headset doesn't pair up, so I just hit the power button on the Tilt then on the headset, wait for the confirmation beep a few seconds later, then turn the Tilt back off.

They are on the regular site for $99.00 as of this morning. You have to click on the bundles or packaged deals. Don't just select the phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fade2black:
I got a refurb on Friday and unlocked it and flashed it on Saturday. So far, no issues at all and couldn't tell it from a new one.

One question: How do you become eligible for a premier account?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Shinare:
Got my tilt a few weeks ago refurbed from AT&T through their website. It came looking like a brand new phone, never opened. With all the stickers and protectors in place. Works great, just flashed with Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid with cube ROm and its wonderfun. :)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] joncy92:
Hi Guys,

Apparently I've purchased a Korean Galaxy S8 from eBay without realising it. The settings -> about page shows the model number is SM-G950D while CPU-Z report SM-G950F but it's definitely the dual-sim variant of the device.

I called up Samsung support and they've said the device isn't under warranty because they only support EU devices...whatever that means since they're all manufactured in the same country...

Everything seems to work as normal...samsung pay, android pay, secure folder etc all work.

I'm wondering if anyone knows the differences in the hardware/bootloader and if I can flash a stock EU/GB ROM over this thing in case there's something dodgy on it?

Also just another question - if I root via Magisk and trip knox, can I use magisk hide to keep secure folder working? I don't care about Samsung pay at all. Is there any other functionality I'm going lose?

Cheers.

Problems :

1- It only reboots itself when the screen is off

2-Sometimes it goes deep sleep ( LED blinking but no buttons works, then i force reboot it by pressing power button+vol down+home)...

But if the screen is on and i'm using it .. it works like a charm no reboot ..

Already did things :

1- wipe cache partition

2- factory reset

3- flashed stock rom .

what to do now ?

I repeat when the screen is on and i'm using it ..it works perfect

:/

Help required because i can't understand the problem :(

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evrkusd:
Hey all,

I have a SM-T818V device running 6.0.1 APJ1 build.

The device is currently encrypted for internal storage (there is no option listed to encrypt the device listed in the Lockscreen and Security settings where it is normally listed).

However, even after Factory Resetting the device, it still appears to be encrypted.

Anyone have an idea on how to decrypt the device once it has been encrypted? I've been scouring settings and searching forums for a way to do this, but not really seeing many references to this issue or real solutions.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Devices released with MM are encrypted by default. It can be disabled on devices that don't have locked bootloaders. However your device has a locked bootloader.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evrkusd:
Thanks for the info!

What's weird though is that my friend has another MM (6.0.1) device but on SM-817V BP1 build and is able to encrypt and then factory reset to decrypt without an issue. And this device at least STARTED as decrypted, but it seems like once it's toggled to be encrypted even one time, it doesn't let you decrypt... ever.

Is there ANY way around this? For example, if I flash the stock OS, would that fix anything? I haven't seen an APJ1 SM-T818V ROM anywhere, but I can start asking around if this might help.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
The T817 wasn't released with MM, so it wasn't shipped with encryption, it is optional.

Your device has always been shipped with encryption enabled by default.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evrkusd:
Ok good to know. I'm seeing issues that I thought were related to encryption, but maybe not!

I will request the APJ1 OS in a different thread and see whether that clears things up.

Thanks again for the info.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] 4r44444:
Hello, I don't know much about manual set up the Photo Quality (Raw), what settings did the pros of you use to get out max of the camera?

Would be happy about some tutorial :) Thank you!
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] dannejanne:
There's no such thing as "best" setting when running manual. It all depends on the situation you're in. The flexibility of manual is what makes it so wonderful.

-If you want better low light photos, use as low shutter speed as possible and as low ISO as possible for lowest amount of noise

-When shooting action in bright light crank up the ISO and shutter speed to freeze action

-Changing white balance manually when it's needed

-Manual focus for tricky focus situation, like if you want focus on a very small/thin thing that the autofocus refuses to find

That's like the most common situations for me anyway when I want to run manual settings. But basically, for the best image quality as low ISO as possible but it needs slow shutter speed so if you set shutter too low the image will get blurry. OIS would have helped a lot.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] venugopalu007:
Best answer bro :svetius:

Also,

Picture is based on situation ,optimise the settings according to it .
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
You would have to mess around with the settings yourself. As each person has a different perception of their own version of a perfect image.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] minio.cz:
One of thing that can improve photos is shooting to raw and develop them on computer where you have much more control over it and could get better performing algorithms. Anyway everything said above still apply.

Wife dropped her phone in the toilet.. yep, it happened... about 5 years ago; I still have the phone.

As a result the usb doesn't work, phone boots fine, I was able to get most info off of the phone with kies.

Phone is not rooted

I want to try a dd img backup over the air (SSH) or a nandroid to sdcard, and so far I can't find any un-tethered root, working root apk's, or custom recovery flashing instructions.

Clearly Odin won't work.

tried gingerbreak, no joy.

This is a nerd challenge at this point, so I really don't mind bricking the phone.

any help rooting much appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Verengard:
Hello,

my galaxy note 2 (was running stock rom, latest SW) suddenly got bricked after battery reached 0%. When turned on was stuck on SAMSUNG logo then after some time being stuck on the logo the android guy poped up with some quick recovery menu (nothing helped - clearing cache, restoring factory settings).

Kies and reloading SW didnt help. I managed to bring it to life by installing recovery called TWRP using ODIN.

Unfortunately the IMEI is now 0049..... which is some generic one. Resulting unability to use the network.

How to fix this IMEI issue and get my original one back ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Verengard:
Any idea or do I have to take it to service center where they have the service box ?

I've 2 problems.....

1) I can't unistall my apps...

If I check my "program list" (to unistal someone of that), the list is empty!!!

2) I can't replay to an sms....

If I push "replay" the message appears, but the recipient is empty! (I have to set it manually everytime); the strange thing is that if I push "replay to all" the recipient appears in the sms....

I noticed that, after a soft reset, the list of my recent program (in the start menu) was empty......

Today I tried this register tweak:

"HKLM\System\StorangeManager\FATFS" set the CacheSize value to 4096

and I have already had this one since days:

HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE "limit" to 32768

What happen???

Don't you just hate that crap??!!?? Sorry to hear about your issue.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] T-mex:
Not necessarily the intentional reg mods

I know your pain... I had a similar issue when I first got my 6800 - couldn't remove/install apps, wouldn't active sync, etc.. I hadn't made any registry tweaks yet - was still just playing around with it installing a few basic apps... I googled all over and found quite a few people had a similar issue. The only thing that would solve it was a hard reset.

There were a few threads claiming something about some security value registry changes getting made unbeknownst to the user by the device. A few people were trying to share "original" reg settings to get things to work and avoid a HR - all to no avail...

I never did hear of a root cause... I just bit the bullet and reset.

I sure wish ActiveSync would return the B/U & restore feature... though there are some good ones out now that also save voice tags, etc..

Take kwickone's advice and good luck!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Section9:

I also haven't installed the update to EMUI 5.0 yet. If in the future I do decide to unlock the bootloader, or root the phone, is there any reason I shouldn't install the EMUI 5.0 update now, or is it safe to do so?

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cheko_lokz:
Well Hello there everyone.

My friend bought a Pixel off the streets (A.K.A Offerup App) He saw the post and called me about the post he saw and wanted to by it. I mention him about FRP, which he said he will check . He didnt relized that it just bypass with sideloader. We try to contact the sell but nothing. So head he gave it to play around with it and took me a 1 day 1/2 and BANG! I removed it with lock bootloader! 7.1.2 (NJH47D, Jul 2017)!:angel::silly::laugh::eek:

Now i have the info& IDK what to do with it. If you have any questions ask. Very open to help out but I don't want to get ban or anything in the area.

P.S I have proof of it been lock and so on. ( I did not took a pic of the bootloader info but it was in 'slot_b' idk whats this but yeah) I believe this will work with verizon and OEM goolge pixel&XL

Edit: My brother has a Nexus 6P with 7.1.2 lock bootloader. I explain him that it can be done and he did not believe me. We bet some beers to show it can be done! Same concept different phone.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I'm pretty sure XDA considers instructions to bypass FRP to be aiding phone thieves and people who buy stolen phones, which would not be in the best interests of the majority of the people in the XDA community. There are plenty of Internet pages and at least one apk that claim to help people bypass FRP. The fact that you don't see that stuff on XDA should probably tell you something.

A mod said put a donate link up but now you say it's not for free since you paid to learn the method? Were you messing around or did someone teach it to you?
