I have an AT&T M9 converted to Developer edition, S-off, TWRP 3.0.2-0, Firmware version 3.35.617.12 listed in download mode, running ViperoneM9 6.1.0. As the title suggests, if I'm anywhere from 30-60% battery, it will just turn off, and I can't turn it back on without it dying again on boot. If I plug it in, it lists whatever percentage battery it died at, usually 60%. I don't want this to turn me away from all of the benefits of root, but it's killing me. I'm not sure where to go from here, and I almost just want to RUU the thing and go back to stock. Someone help me figure out what this is, please!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dovesong:
I've been back and forth with Samsung over this. My new S8 (the unlocked USA version, SM-G950U1) has a poor signal in some office buildings, frequently losing signal entirely. Other phones at the same time and place have a strong signal with 4G LTE service. We've tried reflashing the software, changing the sim card, and booting it in safe mode. The same sim card in a different phone gets a signal. I've run Open Signal on multiple phones at the same time to compare results and to show to service reps so they can see what's happening, though that gets me no closer to understanding the source of this problem.

In most places, this S8 works fine and has a great signal. Any thoughts about what could be causing it? Has anyone else experienced this?

Due to summer travel, I didn't catch the problem until after my 14-day return period. Samsung claims I need to mail them the defective one "for repair" and plan to be without my phone for 9-11 days, which seems absolutely crazy to me. (I made a big fuss and they offered to expedite it, but that's still 5 days without my phone.) Looking for last-ditch suggestions... anyone? Thank you!

Had the same issue. Had to have to repaired.

They changed everything except the screen and frame.

The issue occured after a software update. After repairs the issue returned after the Orea update... but isnt as bad as before. I seem to have lost Band 5.. 850Mhz
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dovesong:
My phone also *just* updated to Oreo, and I think the problem may be back in a milder form. I haven't had a chance to really test or debug it, yet.

My best theory has been that the phone was prioritizing non-LTE signals over a weak LTE signal. How I fixed it the first time: enter the BAND service mode via the native dialer by dialing *#2263# (2263 spells BAND). Clear all bands, then select all LTE bands (ONLY LTE) and apply the changes. This forces the phone to use only LTE signals, no matter their strength. It's worth noting that you may need to alter this when traveling through areas without LTE service, by re-entering the menu and selecting all bands and applying the changes.

Good luck! Please let me know if you figure anything out with your phone after its oreo update!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] wezzel98765:
It is because you will not be on the network band that is stronger

Since flashing my phone back to Nougat I still cannot enable band 20 which I need for better signal. So I’m stuck with poor signal
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dovesong:
Are you using the unlocked USA version, SM-G950U1 ? If you load the *#2263# service menu, you can't enable/disable LTE band 20?

If that's the case, I'm not sure why that's happening! When you flashed back to Nougat, did that include a flash back to the baseband you were previously on?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] wezzel98765:
I'm using the g950F from UK unlocked to all networks

Almost all networks rely very heavily on Band 20 in my town to provide good coverage- so with our It I have a major problem
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Pure-HAVOC:
Facing same issue - loss of lte signal - s8+ switching to weaker lte band

Just got the S8+ and updated it to the latest OREO. After detailed diagnosis using service codes, the issue is that the phone is definitely prioritize a weaker LTE BAND Signal during radio activity with the network tower.

Getting full signals on with the same SIM card on other phones.

The new service mode is also not operable or I don't know the key yet. Using *#0011# only shows the SERVICE MODE (Stack 1 & Stack 2), but is not navigable using the Q0 and Q 0000 keys.

Anyone found a solution to this problem or do we have to wait for an update to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dovesong:
Enter the BAND service mode menu via the native dialer by dialing *#2263#

Hi.

Which is the best overall Android head unit?

I saw a tread here in xda with a lot of comments and views about the Ownice C500 ( https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/android-head-units/ownice-c500-released-t3478747 ) and I thought that this is the best because of the number of comments and views in this tread, so it would have a good community support too, I'm right? Product link: https://m.pt.aliexpress.com/s/item/...pm=a2g03.12010612.0.0.29bd38ccCCV5A0#autostay

Another member here in xda told me that the Dasaita V600 have a best community support, does anyone know this unit? Is it better than the Ownice C500? It's considerably cheaper, but I'm looking for quality over price. Product link: https://m.aliexpress.com/s/item/327...spm=a219c.12010608.0.0.5208143T6jna2#autostay

If you think that the best Android head unit is another model please share your thoughts.

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] velocity4:
"The best" is incredibly subjective. I like my Ownice but that's because it fits my needs the best, not necessarily the best quality. With these units they all have some kind of quality defects, or functional defects or both. It really depends on what you want to do with it and what car you're putting it in. I am happy with my universal Octacore unit.
[Android Head-Units] Forevis:
For the best I mean the one that have a good overall quality, functionality, upgradability, durability. It's for the Toyota Corolla 2018.
[Android Head-Units] velocity4:
Count out upgradeability for Ownice. No one has had much luck getting them to release code to fix older model problems. Latest model Ownice reliability seems to be some good some bad usually screen problems.

Overall functionality seems good, some people have had Canbus problems but I have an older car that doesn't have this.
[Android Head-Units] Forevis:
Thanks. Which brand would you buy today?
[Android Head-Units] allenrb2:
I don't know if they are the best, but I have had good luck with Joying. They release regular updates, and the Sofia units do pretty much everything I want them to.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.FREE_Bird:
Hello,

As the title says, I needed some help.

So I'll start from the beginning, I installed the Nougat v29A Beta on my device, which is provided as a Flashable ZIP on this thread ---> https://xdaforums.com/g4/development/h815-nougat-stock-t3659860

At first everything seemed to be fine (I clean flashed) and my phone booted up the Nougat Beta without any problems. But after playing around for a while and restoring some of my most needed apps via the Playstore I did a reboot and got immediately greeted with the message that my system is corrupted. I haven't flashed anything else than the Flashable Nougat Beta ZIP but it seemed that the modem that the ZIP contained caused a conflict. I couldn't boot up TWRP and the phone simply could't do anything. But I could boot into the download mode so I restored my phone by flashing a MM based KDZ. After that my phone didn't show the bootloader unlocked messsage at the top of the screen anymore when you boot up the phone. So I rebooted my phone into the bootloader via ADB and tried to unlock it by flashing my unlock.bin via Fastboot, but that failed. I rebooted my phone again and discovered that my IMEI turned into a "0".

So now my question was if there is a way to restore my IMEI?

And luckily the answer is yes! There is a way to restore your IMEI!

--- SOLUTION / Fix ----

So I was able to solve this issue by following this really useful tutorial ---> https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73489308&postcount=2 which [MENTION=8496420]Pif0u[/MENTION] gave me.

I recommend anyone who has the same issue to restore their phone with a MM based KDZ before executing the tutorial. Make sure you have "Debugging Mode" enabled in the "Dev Settings" menu.

! Make sure you have filled in your IMEI code properly before writing it to you device. You can find your IMEI code on the box your device came in. !

Follow the exact same steps as described in the tutorial.

! If you choose to execute this fix me or the guy that gave us the tutorial will not be responsible for any problems that may occur. !

You will be able to re-unlock your bootloader if you have successfully restored your IMEI, follow this tutorial to re-unlock your bootloader ---> http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0702

Good luck! :good:

No problem, glad to help. I think we are able to use the Nougat Beta as long as we do not flash the Nougat Beta modem. The modem seems to cause conflicts.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiduser93:
Hey everyone,

This is an LG G3 D855, initially running on stock ROM, which shows me a completely unknown state of bricking. From what I gather, its a kernel crash.

1) Normal power button boot results in bootloop, where it restarts after a few seconds of showing the LG logo/splash screen.

2) When restarted in recovery mode, the phone is able to boot into it, shows the factory reset screen and when I confirm the reset, reboots the phone into bootloop.

3) When I hold the volume down key and connect the USB cable to boot into download mode, it temporarily shows the download mode logo and then reboots into bootloop.

4) When connected to a charger, it shows the inital battery charging screen and then reboots into bootloop.

5) When I remove the battery and connect it to a windows PC, the device is not recognized by LG PC Suite or the device manager, even after installing the drivers for the phone.

Please suggest me possible ways to think about debugging this issue. I'll be uploading the videos for each of the point shortly.

Thank you.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] random571:
Try a new battery. G3 batteries die without warning sometimes and will put you into a bootloop once they fail.

If you truly were bricked you wouldn't get, albeit briefly, download mode or the factory reset screen and the phone would show up as a qualcomm or some other device on your pc.

As far as #5 goes, you need a functioning battery to get into download mode on the G3; some other devices - samsung I think - will allow you to load software without a battery but for us that is not the case.

Hopefully a new battery sorts you out.

Good luck :good:

*Anker makes a decent replacement if you can't find an original LG battery.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiduser93:
That might just do it. I think the battery might have drained out due to broken charging port or some other reason and then died out. For now, I have an external charger on the way. I'll be trying that, and if not, the next step I'll try is to replace the battery itself.

Will keep updating.

Update: It was a battery fault. I got a new one off Ebay to test it and it has been working fine until now. Will probably change it for an extended battery later.

4. With the smaller player, you can move it around your display, play and pause the video, or tap on the headphones icon to have the video play in the background

5. At any time, you can select the smaller player and tap on the center icon to reopen the Chrome application

6. When you’re done watching, simply move the player to the bottom of the display and it will close
