[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larpoux:
I could resolve my nandroid /data backup error on my EMUI 8.0 Mediapad M5 device with those following steps:

1 - Use a correct TWRP implementation

TWRP need to access the uncyphered partition /data.

There no possibility to backup it, if TWRP does not implement deciphering user data partition.

2 - Remove all users except user 0 (the administrator)

You can verify that there is no unwanted users, looking at directory /data/user : the only subdirectory should be "0".

To remove the others users :

Remove the PrivateSpace if you have one (Settings > Security & Privacy > PrivateSpace, and tap on the garbage can).

Remove all the secondary users (Settings > Users & accounts > users, and tap on each users to delete them). Keep just the main administrator user.

On EMUI, remove all twins applications (Settings > Apps & Notifications > App Twin, and disable all twin apps).

On OxygenOS, remove all parallel apps (Settings > Apps > Parallel Apps, and disable all parallel apps).

On MIUI, remove all dual apps (Settings > Dual Apps, and disable all dual apps)

On others devices ... you must find all parameters that create those unwanted users.

If you are not able to get the correct settings to suppress those users, in last resort you can try this command : "pm remove-user user-no. (For example "pm remove-user 999").

3 - Do not forget to protect your backups by a password

This would be stupid to cipher your /data partition and keep backups of this partition unprotected.

These steps fixed the nandroid backup problem for /data partition on my Huawei Mediapad M5 device.

I post on this forum because I hope that this will be helpful for others devices owners.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] postal302:
Hey all,

I'm considering getting a G5 because they are pretty cheap on Amazon right now - $249 for a new unlocked RS988 with a US warranty. When searching the web for information on it there are a LOT of complaints about build quality and reliability issues, but only a few posts here and there that people's G5s are working properly. Now usually people will go online and post issues they are having to get help; nobody goes online to post, "I just wanted to say my phone is working great today!"

That said, it's tough to determine if this model is a complete lemon or if there are just a lot of complaints about a few issues.

How has your LG G5 experience been? Would you recommend getting one or steering clear and looking elsewhere?

Thanks for your input!!:D
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] postal302:
... so a little back story on this. I have two phones I use regularly. By night my daily driver is a Samsung GS7 Edge, but I can't have a camera(phone) at work, so during the day I use an LG G3 which I've disassembled and removed the cameras from. I move my SIM card from device to device every time I switch to the other one. I've had my G3 for about 3 years now (got it new from Verizon) and the processor abruptly failed preventing the phone from powering up at all (I've tried all the tricks in the book including jumpering the main board, heat-gunning the processor, and baking the main board in the oven -- which temporarily worked). I wound up buying a "dead" G3 on ebay, wiping and reflashing it but it's having the same dreaded processor failure -- which is apparently a common defect in the G3s (also apparently an LG signature).

In the mean time I'm relying on my even older Samsung GS3 but it too is beginning to have hardware failures so I'm looking to get something new.

That said it's not vital for me to have a perfectly working phone 100% of the time, I don't need it to be working all the time. What is important to me is having a device I can safely disassemble to remove the cameras without destroying it. However, I don't want to spend the money on a device which will be a lemon and have unnecessary headaches when I could buy something less flashy but more reliable. What I really want to know is: is the LG G5 reliable ~80% of the time? ~50% of the time? ~10% of the time? I think you get the picture.

I'm sure this is probably more information than necessary, but thank you all for your time and input!
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] epithetic:
An objective list of issues you're likely to experience:

The G5 is notorious for having GPS issues, GPS performance may degrade or just not work reliably from the beginning. There is a hardware hack/workaround which can ameliorate the situation but YMMV if GPS is is something you need.

Your screen will progressively develop (temporary) image retention through exposure to heat/heavy usage. On default settings, ghosting will occur within seconds of white elements being displayed, starting from the corners of the display. If you tame the screen calibration somewhat (either via a custom kernel or filter app) the issue is reduced to the point of being practically unnoticeable.

Most G5 screens have some light bleed, nothing excessive, but noticeable on black screens with full brightness.

AOSP and other ROM support for the G5 is not fantastic; LG's quirks mean there are a lot of issues compared to other devices, and the G5 being a pretty overlooked/unpopular device the dev community is small.

The surface finish of the phone is fragile, especially at the module connection. It will hold up well if you're careful, but don't expect a pristine device if you use it naked.

The positives, as far as your situation goes:

Incredibly easy to open up and modular compared to other modern phones - you shouldn't have an issue modifying it and putting it back together as needed. Also easy to repair if anything goes wrong.

LG seems to have fixed the hardware bootloop death that plagued earlier phones up to the V10

Speaker quality is surprisingly good with the default charging chin

No major problems with heat in normal usage, battery life isn't bad

Current stock based ROMs (e.g. Fulmics, or just rooted vanilla) are perfectly stable and perform very well, especially with a third party kernel to stop the image retention from being an issue

Always on display on these ROMs has an impressively small impact on battery, contrast and black levels are good enough that you won't be able to tell it is backlit unless you move the phone from a very bright environment to pitch black (the always on display takes a second to adjust the contrast)

All said, it's a fantastic performer for a great price (worth much more than they're going for, honestly) and with some features that can be hard to find in today's flagships. It's reliable in the sense that it will work well, and predictably, but it's far from without issues. If you can live with/work around the issues you shouldn't have any unpleasant surprises.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] postal302:
Thanks [MENTION=4630882]epithetic[/MENTION] for a very detailed pros/cons! I truly appreciate it.

GPS may be an issue, I use a Map My Run to track daily running workouts during lunch at work. I've seen the workarounds and figure I can implement that when I have it open to remove the cameras. I have seen many posts that most fixes are temporary and GPS will degrade again.

I find it amazing that there is any screen burn-in on a modern phone! But there it is, if there's a fix/solution I'm OK with that.

I NEVER use a phone naked ... I'm too clumsy and will break it!

Also I'm perfectly fine with tweaked stock ROMs. Having a GS7 Edge there's not too much development because of how locked down the phone is. I'm fine with even root and can debloat/tweak/adblock to my hearts content.

Thanks again!
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] HKSpeed:
I got a T-Mobile branded G5 a few months back. Absolutely none of the problems and build quality issues I was warned about. My phone has a February 2017 build date, which is 10 months after release. I suspect LG fixed the issues between that time.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] PhantasmRezound:
Sprint LG G5 LS992 here with a build date of January 2017. Got the entire list of hardware issues epithetic listed. However I got this phone from LG customer service directly, so my unit may be an example of "new motherboard, old hardware" refurbishing that they shoved on me.

As such I'd also warn to check for dead and/or stuck pixels. Can't see any with my naked eye under normal usage at a distance. But when I eventually got a Cardboard VR headset to put the phone inside of, I found about two dozen problematic pixels scattered around in my view, more than the warranty tolerance amount for the display.

That said I do agree it is very easy to service parts on this phone. With a tinkering and scavenging attitude it is definitely a good value for the CPU, GPU and camera performance.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus Questions & Answers] SEVIwTF:
The phone isn't connected to a Mi account in settings so I can't unlock bootloader with Mi desktop unlock app. MiFlash is not working neither as it isn't unlocked (flash xlb error appears). Mi Pc Suite English version doesn't recognise the phone. The Chinese version does and it downloads the latest ROM and when it tries to update the phone an error appears and shows 0% but in the phone it is updating, although at the end it doesn't work. I have also wiped data with this Chinese version with no resault. The phone is still in bootloop. Any help or suggestion is very welcome. Thanks :(

Same problem here. But I suffered it in LOS, and in AOSP extended. Root only works in ADB but not for apps. Tried everything. I think it's related to the Segmentation fault error described on LOS thread, and not all variants of Cedric are affected.

PS: if you try to get root access lots of times, eventually it will pop up the root request in Magisk and it will work, you need to do it almost 30 times.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mrfrantastic:
Yeah, I feared it is part of the segmentation error. It's a pitty, really. I hope we see an update for twrp (or kernel?) which fixes this problem. Maybe with Android O it might be fixed...

I assume you have the Latin American variant. I'm from Argentina too, but I'm using an UK device bought in Amazon, a weird 3gb RAM variant with removable battery and Dual SIM. So I'm thinking that something must be incompatible with our devices.

If you look at the thread of LineageOS, you will see that there are many people affected. With or without root, commands like "pm", "am, "adb backup" are causing the "segmentation fault error". These commands are used by many root applications (Flashfire, Titanium Backup, Greenify, Disable Services, NapTime, ForceDoze) so you will find lots of complains in customs ROMs related to this problems.

Asking for root access when using Magisk also causes the segfault error. I checked it by looking at the logcat. As always if one repeats many times the command or the action in question it eventually works. Every ROM except the stock one causes the problem on my device. Of course I tried everything, wiping, flashing, going back stock, starting all over again.

Since my device suffers from above mentioned segmentation fault, it is not your fault.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] andyro2008:
Even with manager installed it doesn't popup if a device suffers the Segmentation fault error. For us the only "almost functional" root is LineageOS SU Add-on (I don't now why but it's the only correctly popping for permisons).

Hi to all,

I own an ASUS Zenfone 2 since two years now, which works fine with the ASUS stock ROM 5.0.

Things are more complicated with the ASUS stock ROM 6.0.

Randomly my SIM card is not detected anymore and I'm prompted to enter my PIN code.

It can occur when I'm watching a youtube video, when I'm calling, when the telephone is idle...

I tried the last version of LineageOS but sadly I encounter the same problem.

I tried to remove the SIM card and insert it again, to stuck it with tape to be sure it won't move, but it didn't change anything.

Back to the ASUS Stock ROM 5.0, this problem doesn't occur.

I know there are many people concerned by this problem, even with other smartphones.

I was wondering if there was an incompatibility between some smartphones and Android 6/7 or between some SIM cards and Android 6/7.

No loss really, their ROMs were never any good. Mine is on Nougat thanks to OmniROM but I went back to my Huawei Mate 7 as a daily driver for a while, now moved on to the Axon 7.

A collection of 7's ?

The Find 7 is being passed down to my eldest daughter. It stays on non modded Omni 7.1 and will look to sell the Mate 7, fantastic phone, just that I wanted dual 4G SIMs, thus the Axon. I offered the Mate to my wife but she said no, too big and will stick with her Oppo F1f.

The Axon is flying well under the radar IMO. Very good phone. Mine is on official and non modded Nougat. Waiting to see if Oreo comes.

The Find 7 and F1f are the only Oppo's I will ever buy, never again. Won't buy a One Plus either.
