[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] firesinis:
- Bought new October 2016, unlocked Exynos Galaxy S7

- Have been using it without issues until roughly one month ago, when it started to randomly freeze reboot itself, sometimes after corrupting the graphics of whatever screen it was on just prior to rebooting. I chalked it up to it needing a Factory Reset, which I was planning to do shortly.

- Last week I had the issue where the phone worked but the screen didn't turn on; the LED worked, I could hear notifications etc but the screen would remain unlit. I forced it to reboot by holding power and volume down, and it seemingly returned to normal after the reboot.

- Yesterday morning I was browsing Facebook when the phone froze and I got a corrupted screen, except this time instead of rebooting it just shut down itself and became unresponsive. Plugging it on wasn't doing anything, no orange charging LED; power and volume down didn't work.

Went on the phone with a Samsung rep and they told me to plug it to the charger and hold power + home + volume down for 15 seconds; A blue screen came on warning about installing a custom OS, rep told me to push volume down and decline the installation. I did, the phone turned itself off, then the battery charging icon on the middle of the screen came on as well as the orange LED. I let it charge up to about 30% and then tried to turn the phone on; the phone started bootlooping at the point where it animates the Samsung logo.

- Thought I'd try to wipe the cache partition, so I pressed power + home + volume up and it came to the blue maintenance screen with the white droid, but instead of proceeding to the part where it shows a dead droid, several black rectangles started to blink in and out across the whole screen, not always on the same places. Then shortly the phone went dead again, without responding to anything.

- After maybe half an hour I could get it to the blue custom OS screen again with power + home + volume down, and upon pressing volume down to decline I could get the battery charging icon again, but after a few seconds the green animated dots that come up when it's charging just froze, the phone went black, and that's it.

- Let it sit plugged in the charger for a few hours, but can't get it to respond to anything since; power + home + vol [up/down] doesn't do anything. Connect it to a computer doesn't do anything. Samsung rep has no help to offer except suggesting I take it to an authorized repair center.

Anything else I can try?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
Hi mate

I could be a hardware problem ...but before saying so lets try flashing the firmware again

Check this thread as a guide .

If you can boot , first do a backup of all your things

Find out what CSC you have , use an app like phoneinfo

Now go to Sammobile or from the thread i gave you and download a firmware with your CSC.

When flashing use AP, BL , CP and CSC ( not home_csc) why? because we want to format all partition , see here how to select re-partition , step 6.

If is a firmware issue this should take care of it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] kirilorius:
Hi,

Hardly doubt that this is a software/firmware problem. Probably the mainboard or the battery went faulty. Just send it to the repairing service. I suppose it is under warranty. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] firesinis:
Unfortunately I can't try that because I can't put the phone in Download Mode, it doesn't respond to vol down + power + home for whatever many seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
Sorry to hear that..

Not to many options left , you could try to use a USB JIG to get it into download mode......but it looks more and more like a hardware issue..
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] runningnak3d:
I haven't disappeared -- I am working on a way to root Nougat for people that took the OTA or flashed the KDZ.

I need someone that has done that to do a test.

Need to see if the Nougat ROM still has EDL. If someone could try:

adb reboot EDL

and then hook your phone up to a Windows box and see if it shows up as 9008 HS-USB qdloader. This will not brick your phone, but this IS the mode that bricked phones go into.

Once you have checked, you can pull your battery, and your phone will reboot.

Once I know for certain that aboot on Nougat still has EDL, I can keep going.

[T-Mobile LG V10 General] arrisbutter:
Nope. Tried on a Linux box, and a Windows 10 one too. All it does is just reboot the phone straight back into Android, and shows up as a normal "V10" device. :(
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] huy chuong:
and then hook your phone up to a Windows box

So, I dont understand what Windows box is. Can you explain it more clearly. I can give it a try
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] runningnak3d:
[MENTION=8045645]arrisbutter[/MENTION] Well that is disappointing. Thank you very much for verifying so I don't waste any more time going down that route.

[MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION].

Upgraded via LG Bridge can confirm EDP just reboots phone.
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] runningnak3d:
Well, I found a method that works, but it is risky -- requires a leap of faith, and bricking your phone.

The basics are:

* Put your phone into download mode

* Start flashing the Nougat KDZ

* At 15% -- pull the USB cable. Yep, you read that right.

* Download the image that I will post once I am sure this procedure is at least a LITTLE safer.

* Write image to SD card

* Pull battery

* Insert SD card

* reinsert battery

* Watch phone boot into Marshmallow

* adb reboot recovery

* Flash the zip that I will be posting along with the SDcard image.

I am REAL hesitant to post the files needed to do this, because I would feel awful if someones phone bricked, and stayed bricked.

I have tested this myself, and it works. However, the fact that there are people having power issues, while others aren't. Some people are having performance problems, while others aren't -- really makes me leery.

There seem to be too many variations of hardware out there. What works for me, may not work for someone else.

I am going to do some more testing tonight (never deliberately bricked my phone so many times in one day :) ), and I will decide tomorrow.

The good news is -- it IS possible to root if you took the OTA / flashed the KDZ / used LG Bridge / etc....
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] jass65:
i know the reboot edl command does not work, it just reboots the device as i have tried BUT you can force it into edl through the test points on the motherboard im sure you a aware.i tried flashing mm through qfil after putting my device into edl but i just got a sahara error.

You already found a way ? lol that's crazy! personally if this method ends up bricking my phone for good,i wouldnt care as im not using it because nougat has blocked me from doing anything.
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] runningnak3d:
Yea, forcing EDL via the testpoints is (IMHO) riskier than interrupting a flash to get EDL. The testpoint route, you run the risk of physically damaging your phone.

All Qualcomm chips (up to the 820) will boot from the SD card as long as the boot loader is unlocked. Unfortunately Qualcomm decided to be super ***** when they made the 820 and above. The eMMC isn't just one block device with multiple partitions. It is presented as several physical block devices. Unfortunately -- even if it would boot from the SD card, a normal PC sees an SD card as a single block device, so it would be impossible to image it.

I am just rambling now, because none of that applies to the 808. As long as you have a little patience, it is impossible to brick any Android phone with the 808. Well, you also need to be able to unlock the bootloader -- as is the case with the H901.

-- Brian
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] jass65:
you are right about potentially physically damaging your phone.i was shorting the test points and there was a little spark once.i thought the phone was fried but somehow i was still working lol.you mentioned that you need to be on a unlocked bootloader to begin with correct?i updated through kdz and my bootloader is unlocked.would really like to get back to mm.
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] runningnak3d:
[MENTION=6262782]jass65[/MENTION] Once you are booted from the SD card, you can flash whatever you want. I will have to pull the partitions out of the MM KDZ, but I can make you a zip that will get you back to stock MM with TWRP -- you would just need to root then.

Getting to EDL is the key, it doesn't matter what method that you use. You can either use my "deliberately brick your phone" method, or the testpin method.

I will see how my evening goes. Hopefully I will have something for you tomorrow. I definitely have more time now that I know at least ONE method works.

-- Brian
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] jass65:
ok, guess im intentionally bricking it cause i just installed a new thermal pad and dont wanna open it up again lol.Thanks ! :good:
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] arrisbutter:
Awesome news! I'l be looking forward getting back MM with TWRP as well. :D
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] Stransky:
Go ahead, I am willing to try it. I have no power issues or other probs and if it bricks I have my MM H900 to fall back on.[emoji4]
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] ardian1899:
This is interesting. I've put my phone on edl mode so many times until I can't count it in my quest to bring my v10 back to H901. It was H901 lollipop but bricked after I flash MM on it, it has F600L code on the pcb and now running fine on F600L nougat.

I'd be gladly try it, probably I can get back to H901 and get rooted.
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] Stransky:
[MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION]

Have just checked dev options and 'oem unlock is off and greyed out' on my H90130b.

The phone still shows the unlocked warning when restarted. Could this be why EDL cannot be accessed via adb?
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] jass65:
no as far as i know the only to access edl on v10 is with test point or hardbrick.The reboot edl command is not in the boot so it doesnt work.i had tried that command on 6.0 rooted unlocked and 7.0. it does not work since the command is not even in boot.
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] runningnak3d:
[MENTION=3873702]Stransky[/MENTION] If you are getting the warning on boot, then you have an unlocked boot loader. The "Enable OEM Unlock" in developer options just allows you to unlock, in fastboot. Once you are unlocked, that should be turned back off, so you are fine. The fact that it is grayed out is kind of disturbing though.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] rrdna:
Hi there.

Is there any way, to toggle network mode from 4G to 2G without root?

The problem is, that when im at work or at home, my 4G signal strenght is really weak, so it drains my battery too fast. When i manually switch to 2g, the signal strenght is good.

Is there any way

without root

to toggle network mode with tasker or other apps, while my smartphone is connected to my home or office wifi?

I tried AutoTools w/ tasker and changed the preferred_network_mode1 according to this tutorial, but it did not seem to work:

https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/6aif23/tip_change_network_type_2g_3g_without_root/

any help appreciated.

cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] njdan30:
mine I can turn off lte to 3g by changing network to cdma only, which carrier are u on?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] rrdna:
im on the international/european unbranded version.

yes, i do have that option but i would still like to use 4g, when not connected to my home/office wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] njdan30:
I hear ya, I'm on sprint which is a bit of a pain because it'll reboot phone when switched, try dialing *#*#info#*#* from dialer and you should be able to change network type from there on that model(yes I know not exactly what your looking for), but that's only thing I can think of without having to root or reboot phone each time(I don't own that model so I don't know that particular phones software)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeevoX:
After seeing all the outrage (http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...ing-push-notification-advertisements-devices/) about OnePlus sending advertisements and other junk via its push notifications service, I thought I'd share how you can unregister your device from the service.

1. Download Activities from Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cunnj.activities

2. Launch the app, scroll down to "Push", tap the down arrow, and tap on the last entry with subtitle ".ui.MainActivity"

3. This will launch the OnePlus Push config activity, tap on the bottom right button with Chinese characters. (See attachments) This is the unregister button.

4. A toast message should appear, saying in Chinese that you have successfully unregistered.

All the best,

ZeevoX

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zuppy Surja:
Hi all,

Recently i found that my One plus X does not support otg.

Here are the few things i tried.

*I tried connecting the same otg pendrive in other 2-3 mobiles and it was working fine.

*I tried connecting a different pendrive with the help of a otg cable to my oneplus x, but it did nt even detect it.

*Also one more thing, when i connect my Oneplus X to PC using the OnePlus X data cable, it was showing error like "USB device not recognized"

*Also tried connecting to other PC and Laptop but it gave the same error.

Currently I am using Resurrection Remix Rom latest version, but otg was working fine on it one week before also the connection to PC using data cable was fine. Now if I connect my device to PC using data cable it wont even show option on the notification to switch to MTP mode or camera mode or charging mode. It just charges my device.

The otg does not even work in TWRP mode. Previously it used to work fine. I even switched to official marshmallow rom provided by Oneplus and enabled the otg option from settings, but it did not work. Hence I switched back to resurrection remix rom.

Is anybody facing the same issue??

I guess my device has hardware issue regarding otg support now. Because it charges the phone but does not support otg

Does anyone has new suggestions that i can try? Or any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.
[Huawei P9 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] TurtleSenpai:
When I download a theme from the internet or PlayStore, I can normally go to Themes and apply it. If I edit any theme on my computer or by using Emui theme editor, I put a new theme to HWThemes folder, but I don't have the theme in Themes app and I can't apply it... why?
[Huawei P9 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] miz_pimp:
Make sure that the theme files are saved with the .hwt extension, and not .zip.
[Huawei P9 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] TurtleSenpai:
I'm 100% sure they are. I edited some themes by using winrar, changing everything I want, packing again into .rar and rename .rar to .hwt

Also the Emui Theme Editor saves themes as .hwt

My phone in Themes app doesn't see any of them
[Huawei P9 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] miz_pimp:
As far as I know, it needs to be packed into .zip files, then .hwt. I might be wrong though, but that was always what I did.

I'm not sure about the play store themes, but where are your themes stored? Internal memory or on your SD card?

Try clearing data in your themes app, and see if that helps?
[Huawei P9 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] TurtleSenpai:
My files are in .hwt

I changed what I want, then make it to a .zip file. After that change extension of the file to .hwt

I have my themes on the internal memory in the HWThemes folder.

I can't clear data in my themes app, I can only stop this app

I don't know why, my edited themes are not visable by phone, but on the other hand themes downloaded from the internet (like the Google+ community) are working without any problems
[Huawei P9 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] miz_pimp:
Upload one of your edited themes, then I can have a look, and see what the problem is.
[Huawei P9 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] TurtleSenpai:
Here you go https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BymArIkfIpzcTFMzYU1xZTRvdVE/view?usp=sharing (it's very big because I used a very big, full icon pack)
[Huawei P9 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] miz_pimp:
I didn't realise the theme would be so big! Wow, you'll need to be patient then, since I have a really slow connection.
[Huawei P9 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] TurtleSenpai:
Okay, no problem :D
[Huawei P9 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] miz_pimp:
The theme won't load because there are too many icons, and the theme is too big. You will need to remove all the unnecessary icons.
[Huawei P9 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] ConradP:
There should't be a problem with many icons.

I used to have issue with new themes and after a long period of trying I just master reseted the phone:)
[Huawei P9 Lite Themes, Apps, and Mods] miz_pimp:
It's definitely the icons, since replacing the icons with the default icons, the theme then loads up. The icons either need to be optimised, so that the theme size is smaller, or some need to be removed.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] gnabtib8:
Can anyone verify if this version has 6GB of ram like the Chinese counterparts???
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] miffymiffy:
There are only 2 variants, 4/64 and 6/128. So yes, it will be 6gb
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] gnabtib8:
HTC has confirmed the US Unlocked 128GB also has 4GB of RAM. Kinda of letdown and not worth the extra 80 since it's just an internal storage increase
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] gnabtib8:
HTC Live Chat
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
Chat reps are clueless. Android Police confirmed with HTC that it is 6/128.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] AllGamer:
yup, might as well use the money difference to buy a 128GB or 256GB microSD that works as internal storage in Nougat

coincidently that's how I have mine setup, added 128 GB (Samsung EVO+ Pro super fast) for a total of 192 GB storage

can't find a reputable 25 6GB anywhere. I don't trust those that claims to be 256 GB from eBay and similar places
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] gnabtib8:
I actually ended up calling them and it took them a bit to confirm it will ship with 6GB of RAM. Im returning the solar red and upgraded to the 6/128 model. They said other color variants would surface in about 3 weeks. But as other users have stated, HTC is not the most reliable when coming from customer and chat support. So I'll take it with a grain of salt. If any other user hear wishes to upgrade or consider the new U11. Use this code to get 50 off your new device "AMAZINGU11" to bring the price to 679.99 :)
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] EtherealRemnant:
This really kind of pisses me off. I pre-ordered on May 31st with 50 dollars off and got the sapphire. Then they dropped the solar red and I was mildly irritated but dropping the 6/128GB has me fuming right now. HTC said they weren't bringing that model to the US and I'm definitely past the return period (phone arrived June 8th). All of us who were loyal to HTC got screwed. First they remove the text that says bootloader unlock doesn't void the warranty and now they pull this? -_-
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] gnabtib8:
I completely understand your situation, I was 6 days away from my 30 day return window. You could always get some money back on swappa. I know it's not the perfect solution but if you really want the upgrade it's better than nothing. I have come to accept smartphones use the same marketing as high end pcs. After 6 months, your devices are obsolete.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] EtherealRemnant:
It's not so much that I need that model, it's the fact that I would have gotten it if HTC didn't lie about availability in the states. Truth be told, I'm so used to managing with 32GB phones that 64GB is plenty and 6GB of RAM is a total waste (my phone averages 2.6GB-2.8GB used, I've never seen it higher - adding more just seems pointless) but for 80 bucks, I would have done it.

For a company that is struggling to stay alive, they sure are getting adept at pissing off their loyal customers. I had the M7, the M8, skipped the M9 because of the Snapdragon 810, and I have the 10. I've had tons of HTC devices (see my signature) and now they are pulling things like promising the U11 warranty wouldn't be void by unlocking the bootloader just to remove it later to changing the firmware so that it's impossible to have permanent S-OFF to releasing new colors and now a higher speced model they said wasn't coming here... A lot of us are going to end up dropping HTC if they keep this garbage up. HTC needs to be reminded that they are no longer the dominant smartphone force they were in the Windows Mobile and early Android days.
