[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] OnAir783:
Ah sorry, wrong information I m using 9.5.8.0 stable and the bug I described is since 2 weeks Made a factory reset but no changes. There weren't any big updates so it seems it has to do with googles changes in framework, gcm (fcm) and so on. Maybe here is somebody who uses also the 9.5.8.0 global stable and noticed something like I do with some (non messenger) apps.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] OnAir783:
After upgrading to Miui 10 global version and updatet to newest play services the probleme I described is still there.

Does anybody else use the global version and observed also a kind of delayed notifications?

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] AWESOME1092387456:
It has happend to me too (after miui 10 update) you can go to each apps settings, for example whatsapp, and enable everything under notifications for EVERY notification available for that app, i trully wish xiaomi would make it like almost every other android phone manufacturer who keep the notifications just like the freaking stock android way...
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] OnAir783:
Okay. That means you will get notifications you don't want?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
Good research. /rpm is also known as primary bootloader, and flashing this partition should always be avoided if at all possible. /rpm, /sbl1, /tz, and /aboot are all considered bootloaders (and/or bootloader dependent partitions). Tampering with any of these is the quickest way to hard brick a device beyond repairability. /fsg, in Motorola devices anyway, is considered a radio firmware partition and contains the fsg-id configuration for carrier dependent parameters. I included /fsg in my modem thread (my baseband installer flashes /modem, /fsg, and formats modemst1 & modemst2). The /simlock partition does exactly what it implies. When a network unlock code is entered into the device, the requisite changes are applied to /simlock in order to enable GSM network unlocking. In theory, if an unlocked device's /simlock partition is flashed to a locked device, the locked device also becomes network unlocked. This works on most brands which use a similar partition index for network locking/unlocking. I'll research the partitions you didn't reference and add some additional info.

The /splash partition is the boot logo.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chupi383:
Recovery and boot are actually in the same format -- an "ANDROID!" archive containing a kernel, an initrd, and a kernel command line. The recovery is just another kernel and an initrd containing all the files you see in your recovery.

Cache is used for the system communicating with the recovery. The system places a command in a file there telling the recovery to perform a function like factory reset or apply a FOTA. The recovery reads that, does the command, and writes its state and logs back to cache. I don't know what else cache is used for, but FOTA temp files certainly don't download there (they're in /data/data/com.tcl.dmclient/files/last_dlpkgfile on this phone), and the Play Store doesn't download stuff to there when installing apps.

tz/tzbak are something for the ARM Trust Zone, which is a bit like TPM on PCs. It's a function built into the processor that can be used to store keys securely. These partitions contain an ELF file, so I suspect this is a binary that interfaces with or runs inside the Trust Zone, and not the data store for it.

I haven't seen any real info about ssd, but given "Secure Software Download" and that it's only 8 KB, I'm guessing it's used by the baseband for things like updates and SIM apps pushed through the cell network.

The boot sequence as I understand it is rpm -> sbl1 -> aboot -> boot (Linux kernel).

Rpm, sbl1 and tz are updated with each firmware update for this device that I've seen. It looks like the updater changes rpm, sbl1 and tz; and then rpmbak, sbl1bak and tzbak are updated after a successful boot. The updater seems to update both aboot and abootbak though. I determined this by looking at a backup taken after an update and reboot, and one taken after an update and no reboot.

Do you have a link where I can read more about fsg, modemst1/2, EFS2 and EFS2_DIAG_MAKE_GOLDEN_COPY?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
I can confirm that modemst1 and modemst2 are nv data partitions. The /fsg partition (a configuration which has been used by Samsung and Motorola for many years) is a baseband firmware partition that contains carrier ID and carrier regional information.

[MENTION=8120800]Chupi383[/MENTION], Question: have you been able to successfully capture an OTA for this device? If so, where is the OTA stored once downloaded? Thanks for your help on this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chupi383:
[MENTION=7383447]MotoJunkie01[/MENTION] The downloaded OTA is stored as /data/data/com.tcl.dmclient/files/last_dlpkgfile.

You can also get the download URL for an XML file named "desc" from logcat. You can download desc by using a user agent string spoofer with the user agent "Red Bend Software vDirect Mobile(TM) RedBend-vdm-5.6.0.65". Then that will contain the download URL for the zip itself, which you can download with the same user agent. The fun thing about these zips is once you have the URL for one, you can guess the URLs for other to/from firmware version pairs.

The Honor 9 Has Built-in Screen Recording​

Something that most people stumble across by accident, when using their Honor phones, in the built-in screen recorder. You can trigger the native screen capture software by holding the power+volume up buttons.

It is important to note that these recording are only saved in a 720p resolution. Since this phone has a 1080p screen you're missing out on some precious pixels. Use an app like AZ Screen Recorder to capture the full resolution of your device.

I find the new quick tiles (light blue on white background) to be difficult to see. Is there a way to be able to change the color and/or contrast of these icons. I do not want to root the phone. Have looked at xposed, at a few apps from the store. Also a number of different launchers such as Nova, Apex, etc but could not find this functionality in them.

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Armand Bernard:
This is not a launcher feature. There are two ways I know of. The simplest is to get a theme in the Samsung Theme Store (found under system settings) with the colours you want, then just overwrite the background wallpaper and icon pack in your launcher if you don't like them.

I believe you can also use Substratum without root on samsung phones, at least for theming the user interface. Substratum Themes will give you more colour options and won't change your icon pack and background unlike Samung Themes.

Ideally find a Substratum theme labelled Samsung so you know it works, then only tick the android system parts. I have to appologise in advance because I can't post links yet. You'll have to find them in the Play Store yourself.

First, install "Substratum".

Then, you'll have to buy the "Substratum Integration for Samsung (Addon Key)" (if you find it doesn't work, you always have 2 hours to refund it from the play store page)

Lastly, find a compatible theme like "[Substratum] StatusBar Icons (+extras) for Samsung" and activate it in the Substratum app.

I got a file from internet and then flashed it,but when i turned on my phone it asked for password!

Then i flashed official rom again with Odin.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] tomx2x:
Hi.

I am planning to install Nethunter (linux) on my OPO phone for penetration testing.

Lineage os has it's version of Nethunter on Github I might try. Ex; ( los-14.1-20170103-bacon-nethunteros.zip).

Currently, I have Lineage os 14.1 v7.1.2 rom which gives me great battery live.

My question is after a clean wipe & installing nethunteros, will new Android system updates for LOS 14.1 nightly builds be obsolete to apply on my phone?

If I wanted to continue updating a pure LOS rom with the nightly builds, should I use a multirom and flash CM12/Nethunter then LOS 14.1 as a secondary?

Using PrivateSpace​

Like most other android phones, the Honor 9 has the ability to add user and guest accounts to your device. It also has a cool feature called PrivateSpace. This is an account that can only be accessed by your fingerprint, from the lock screen. All of the files and data saved on this account cannot be access by any of the other accounts.

View attachment 4228465View attachment 4228466​

You can use your fingerprint or password to quickly access PrivateSpace from the lockscreen. Your PrivateSpace fingerprint can't be identical to those you use to log in to MainSpace.

You can create only one private space on your phone and it's a great way to store secure info privately.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] HTCStuey:
Couple of problems (more like queries) which I've just remembered but not had time to look into. Was curious and thought I would ask, even though I can probably get the answers by doing a bit of digging myself, but I'm not at home at the moment and thought I would ask while I remember!

1. When I sync my phone with Outlook (2002 version I had with an older SPV but never used until now) it syncs calender but not contacts, even though it's set up to sync both and when it syncs it puts ticks next to both as if it's succeeded. Is this a common problem? When I installed ActiveSync 4.5 I think it said something about syncing with Outlook 2000 not being supported and recommending 2003 but can't remember it saying anything about 2002? I haven't bothered to look at the Orange software CD that came with it, is Outlook 2003 on there?

2. I can't remember seeing Pocket MSN on my phone. Have Orange taken it off? I just had a look and you can download it from the website (I think) but if that's the case why did Orange bother to leave it off there knowing people would just download it anyway? I remember reading something about Orange planning their own messenger but forgetting it, is it just that?

Hi,

I upgraded to Android 7.1.1 on my xperia z5 and since then there has been Bluetooth issues with my watch. Generally the Bluetooth wont work on my watch however I have managed to find my watch using my phone using the Sony Smart Connect App. So I have got my watch in a basic mode in that its sort of connected to my phone but I only get to tell the time and use the step counter.

I am on:-

Android Wear - 1.5.0.3508863

Android OS - 6.0.1

Build Number - M1D64T

I have tried doing a reset, hard reset, going into the phones settings and even sent this off to sony where they said the Bluetooth was not working, yet when I got the watch back I managed to sort of sync this back up to my phone.

Just asking for advice, as I have had the watch from Brand New and its lasted 14 months and the Bluetooth has broke, I think its more a software issue than a hardware one to be honest.

Thanks

Hi everyone.

I bought an LG v10 from ebay and thought it was the global version, well it turned out it's at&t h900 version. It came with lollipop and came rooted also xD I upgrated to MM using lgup and then my phone has no service anymore ( I live in France) the basebands are unkown, I have no signal and it wouldn't ask me to unlock the sim either. I thought of flashing a modem.bin from a global KDZ file, what do you think about that?

I think root will solve my problem and since there's no root in MM I tried to downgrade to LP but my phone has an antiroll back feature -_- so now I'm stuck with a phone with no service.

If anyone has an idea I'll be very greatful.

It looks like your H900 is not seeing your carrier APN. Download 'Offline SIm database' from the Play Store run it and it will show you your APN details which you can then enter manually. You will find the APN under mobile networks.

[Device Repair] Skimpypimp:
Hi guys. I'm a long time xda lurker who just purchased a LG G5 RS988 because I read in the forum that I could unlock the boot loader. Soon after activation (MetroPCS) I noticed the LTE would not stay on. In a area where LTE is very strong, it makes no sense to drop to HSPA. The only time LTE works is when I restart using network select under network settings and only lasts for under a minute before dropping to HSPA. It never recovers to LTE.* I also noticed that the phone selects band 2, unlike my other MetroPCS devices which normally utilizes band 4. I called MetroPCS and have done everything I could with them and including setting my APN correctly. So I figured that I would have to flash my phone with a different ROM to ever fix it. I ran into a few major problems during my adventure to get it the boot loader unlocked. I have the BRIGHTPOINT model G5 (who ever the bleep that is) and came with 10c Android 6. I followed all the directions in the xda threads and quickly realized 10c had no fastboot mode. I tried all the button combinations and adb reboot fastboot and nothing would bring it up. It didn't even have a recovery mode. So my adventure took me to LG Bridge application for windows. I ran that and thank my lucky stars I found a update. I upgraded to 10h which switched me to Android 7. First thing I checked is if my LTE problem was resolved, which it wasn't. I took another shoot at fastboot and to my amazement I am now able to enter fastboot mode. Excited, I went to LG development site, signed up and ran the tutorial to submit my imei and device Id to receive my boot loader unlock bin/code. I submit my information and I get a rejection after submitting the form on site that says: Unfortunately, your device(United States, (BRIGHTPOINT(USA))* )does not support unlocking the bootloader.

Now what?* I can't flash or at least I personally don't know any work arounds and I can't root unless there is some method unknown to me. How do I force a new ROM into the phone without bricking it and how do I fix this LTE issue? Someone, anyone, any help is appreciated!!
[Device Repair] Skimpypimp:
OK let's try this.

Someone at least help me with a couple questions.

#1 is it possible to root without unlocking the bootloader on my LG G5.

#2 is it possible for me to flash my G5 with any other update? I am on 10h, are there any other updates I can flash?

#3 is it possible to flash any updates without unlocking the bootloader?

Thank you in advanced.
[Device Repair] Droidriven:
1) You can root without unlocking bootloader only if you're lucky enough to find one of the universal rooting apps or PC programs that actually works on your device, you'll have to try them all for yourself to see if they work.

2) if there is/are stock updates you can flash them.

3) you can flash updates without unlocking bootloader if they are stock updates, but you can't apply stock updates if the device is rooted, it has to be unrooted, has to have an unmodified system partition and has to have stock recovery.

You can't flash custom recovery or custom ROMs with a locked bootloader.

Your issue probably isn't in your device software. It's more than likely an issue caused by the network itself.

Metro PCS is an MVNO(sub contracted cellular provider that uses another providers network). They have to pay the network they are under for the data that their customers use. This often means that they limit or throttle data speeds to make it more cost effective for them, so they don't lose money paying for the data that you use on the network that they are paying to use.

[Device Repair] Skimpypimp:
Thank you so much for answering all my questions. I have tried using all of LG software to flash, however I ran into problems with all of them. From unable to load some model or no detection of my phone.

I am on a unlimited data plan and I barely use data every month because I have wifi. I used a little over one GB this month so I have no idea why they would throttle my bandwidth. I have read in this forum of other people with RS988 BRIGHTPOINT version and having the same issue. Something about the software being directed to perform a certain way on CDMA even though the phone is unlocked for both technology's. With that being said, it would still be unlikely to fix the problem by somehow flashing it to a non BRIGHTPOINT stock?

How do I flash when none of LG software works for me and what can I flash it to that's not BRIGHTPOINT?
