[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quinzds:
Hi guys,

I have yet to find an answer to this problem because whatever device I have had from Samsung in the past, it would NOT let me turn on developer mode. Yes I could make it visible by tapping the build 7 times or whatever, but when going into develeoper options , it is slided to "OFF" and there is no way to slide it on, it will NOT respond to anything I do... This is now again on the Samsung note 8 N-950F and I had it on the S8+ and the S7 Edge as well.

The closest source of the problem I found that Knox is blocking my way to root my phone and blocks USB debugging or any developer options for that matter.... I removed it but it just won't go off my device completely... When going into device information you always see that Knox version popping in there. The removal options are impossible because I tried using android terminal but then the terminal says i need my device to be rooted to do the command of removing knox completely...

Well ****, I can't root it , and thus cannot remove knox, and thus cannot root it.... Infinite loop?

What the hell.

Hi Guy,

As some of you already know that Xperia XZs/XZ Premium has this issues.

It's a shame for how SONY release this new model with the same issues.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warwick555:
So I have the HTC One M9, I rooted it, unlocked the boot loader wiped the rom, installed venom and cleared cache. I had numerous problems with it like crashes and settings going back to original. I installed sunshine to do s-off and updated to the newest venom for the m9 and it upgraded my radio and firmware. I liked the updated version more...but...now to the issues:

Phone shuts off at 20%-50% I try to boot back on and it says 0% battery. I plug back in and phone turns on and says 26% or whatever it was before it shutdown, then minutes later it shuts down and after plugging it in and booting up it actually shows 1%...this never happened until I upgraded it. Sometimes after the phone shuts down all my settings go back to it was before I customized everything and I have to log in to all my Google accounts and my keyboard dictionary looses all my saved words and it pisses me off.

Has anyone experienced this with venom on the HTC m9 ...my m7 never had issues, but both versions on my m9 have been nothing but problems and I love the venom rom because it's so customizable. But now I'm thinking about going to other roms
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeataol:
M8 and M9 both exhibit the same thing as a battery gets worn out.... I would say you need a new battery

It's been said that setting extreme power save to kick in at a percentage higher than when it fails can prevent it.

also, some have said doing the three finger battery calibration may help, but some have also said it doesn't last.

the supposed official HTC battery recalibration steps:

recalibrate your battery by doing the following steps:

◦Go to Settings and disable Fast Boot.

◦Turn off the phone.

◦Charge the phone using your HTC charger for at least two minutes.

◦While the M8 (M9) is charging, press and hold down the following buttons: Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power.

◦Continue holding the three buttons for at least two minutes. The phone will repeatedly turn on and off every 15 seconds while you’re doing this.

◦After 2 minutes, release the buttons when the phone is on.

◦Let the M8 charge normally.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laofan:
If the phone shut off between 25% - 50%, the battery is dying and only hold 75% or less of its original capacity.

My M8 used to do that. Only new battery could help
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warwick555:
I figured I had battery issues, I purchased this on eBay as a refurbished model because it previously had battery issues but it being refurbished I thought it was fixed, it maybe the seller was full of crap. I'm gonna attempt to call HTC and see if there's a records of this, I didn't have any luck with the battery recalibration method mentioned above (and I google it. And that is the official recalibration method), I was reading that after installing custom ROM battery should be recalibrated so I'm gonna delete the battery.bin file through twrp at 100% and give that a try...

I just don't understand why if the phone died because battery is dead, why when I boot my phone back up all my settings and customisation's wiped out and back to normal like as if I just installed the ROM, and log me out of my Google accounts and delete my keyboard dictionary

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitkitnaakar:
Hi Guys,

I'm unable to connect my v10 to my windows laptop or any other OS or laptop. I always get an error message saying, USB Device not recognized. However, the only thing I can do is Charge my phone with it. :( :rolleyes: :crying:

About the device,

Android Version: 7.0

ROM: Stock

SW Version: V30a-HKG-XX

I've tried almost everything. The following are what I've tried

1. Rebooting the phone and connecting again,

2. Tried on different laptop/computers, with linux and mac too,

3. Replaced the micro usb port,

4. Fiddled with device manager on windows, uninstalled drivers, reinstalled,

5. Tested with different data cables,

6. Tried connecting OTG usb drives,

7. Booting into Fastboot to see if it gets recognized there,

8. Updated from MM to Nougat,

9. Enabled USB Debugging, under dev options,

10. Enabled MTP, under dev options

All of the above did nothing to solve the problem.

I believe the data cables on the microusb port are fine and there maybe something wrong with the motherboard. Please tell me if I'm correct with this inference. if yes, then what may be done to solve this. :confused:

Please guys, suggest what maybe wrong and what can be done to fix it. :confused: :( I'd really Love & Hope it if there is a simple fix to it :)

Thanks.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashurino:
Hey there hobbyists and experts.

Recently I wanted to play around with my old phone. The Sony Xperia Z1 C6903. Rooted it, flashed a custom ROM on it, and so on. I noticed a spot on the display that didn't register my touch inputs so I decided to replace the display, digitizer and the frame. After reassembling it, and plugging it into the powersource, it didn't explode :good:.

But it didn't display anything on the screen. I only noticed the status LED.

- Sometimes it flashed blue. (Not Fastboot)

- After leaving if plugged in for a while, it turned solid yellow.

- When I tried to turn it on again, the LED flashed red and then afterwards purple.

Does anyone of you have an idea on what the problem might be? Or any clue on the LED signals?

Should I disassemble again, and check every wire?

Thanks in advance. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Warlord1981:
Hello gyuz,

As mentioned in another thread in Accessories sub-forum, while Installing the Whitestone Dome Screen Protector (https://www.whitestonedome.com/) on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8, there was UV glue spillage all around the phone & now I have dried (UV cured) glue in the tiniest gap between the screen edges and the metal frame of the phone. Please check attached image, I have circled with red the exact location of the glue, however imagine this almost all around the phone:

Now I need a good UV glue remover to soften the dried glue and an extremely thin blade (or a similar tool) to reach in the gap and remove it. I saw some products on ebay, however I am not sure which will do the job.

First of all which Glue Remover is more suitable? Does it have to be a branded one? Or the unbranded ones will do the job as well? Is there danger that the remover will dry and stay in the gap making it worse? Will it damage the color or consistency of the metal frame? Will it damage the buttons (Power, Volum, Bixby)?

Secondly, which tool should do the job reaching such tiny gap while at the same time not scratching the screen or the metal frame? Metal Blade? Plastic Blade? Wire? Some other tool?

Please advise, as I am nearly desperate. Thank you! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Deleted member 7436581:
Damn, I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. This is one of the biggest reasons why I don't use screen protectors on my phones. I've used a glass one on my Note 5 but didn't like it. Naked display feels the best and performs the best. Not fuss, no glue, no BS. Eeek!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Warlord1981:
Agree with everything. if i had the chance again I would leave it naked, however I would still feel very uncomfortable without protection.. Actual screen exposed to everything is a little risky!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
OP, wish I could advise you, but all I can say is take your time and don't rush this task. Since as you aware, you don't want to use a chemical or item that will damage the frame or buttons. Don't use any metal objects.

Feel for you bro, you go ahead with good intentions to protect your device and now in a predicament.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Warlord1981:
Thanks for your understanding mate. Indeed tried for the best and ended up worse.

I am not rushing for now, just conctacted Whitestone themselves asking advise on how to fix it, as well as an ebay seller that sells such equipment/tools. He suggested me these:

http://ebay.eu/2g3RySr

http://ebay.eu/2kATYJV

I am not sure about the quality of the Glue Remover and how thin the tools (blades & spudger) are though. Have to make a little research.

That is why also I opened the thread to ask for opinions from people that may have done this or similar task before and to help others in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Before using any chemicals, I would try and use the finest /thinnest plastic card or tool to scrape the glue out of the edges first. Chemicals would be my last resort. Good luck my friend.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mike02z:
I have dropped my phones at least 5 times in the last year and each time it landed screen side down. I broke all 5 glass protectors but never the screen. That is why I must have a full adhesive glass protector on. It is a PITA to get perfect but for me, it's worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Deleted member 7436581:
I understand, some people need it. I haven't chipped or broken a display since I had an iPhone. Knock wood. Naked is glorious, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SquidgyB:
Plastic tools and alcohol are your friends.

99% Isopropyl should be able to dissolve the glue, and shouldn't leave a mark on the phone (iso evaporates completely and is not dangerous to plastics or metals). A stiff bristled plastic brush would be ideal, maybe an old toothbrush. The thinner and stiffer the bristles, the better.

The iso will dissolve the glue, but you'll need to mechanically agitate it to remove it completely. Bear in mind that traces of iso having touched the glue will streak glass , so a second/third rinse with iso may be necessary.

I'd be careful about getting iso into the switches, as long term iso can degrade rubber (switch seals etc) but as long as you clean, then dry out effectively there shouldn't be an issue (iso will evaporate at room temp in any case). Covering the switches with tape could help, but iso is so thin it will probably go under the tape, and will likely dissolve the glue on the tape too!

e: Whatever you do don't use acetone or any other stronger solvent. Depending on the plastics used acetone will eat right through them, and may affect the finish on other parts too.

Iso really is a decent cleaning solution for most electronic devices.

e ii: Oh, and if you use an old toothbrush, make sure it's very clean. Getting some toothpaste grit on the screen and rubbing it in with a brush would be tragic. Maybe even buy a brand new brush just for this job? Not too expensive for the job, imho.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Warlord1981:
Yes I'm trying to find such thin tool made of plastic. Cards are too thick for it. It needs to be so thin that can cut you..like razor blades maybe even thinner.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SquidgyB:
Packaging plastic is often thin and stiff... Cut it into a triangle and see if you can get "under" the glue in the gap.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
HAHAH, SNAP! Same here, last phone I ever broke was my last iphone I owned , it was the iphone 4s. That was when I was drinking also, :p

What i used after installing the whitedome was a sheet of paper, running the corner around gap. Cleaned it easily this way.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
I think OP needs something as thin but stiffer as his glue is cured fully now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] princeasi:
The glue stays soft. If you run the paper around it, it will come up. After about a half a cycle thru, I would cut the edge of the paper each time so that I can continue with a firm edge. I did this after a week of installation.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Warlord1981:
Guyz you won't believe it! For the past 2 hours I was doing exactly that! Actually what worked best was a piece of paper that had the dust removal stickers on it (got it from the Olixar Sentinel Case/Screen Protector kit), which is more firm than plain A4 paper. And I was cutting it all the time to keep its sharpness. At some point it finished and I used just plain A4 paper, which wasn't the same but it kinda worked as well..

I was running it inch by inch around the whole frame, taking out glue (indeed soft) little by little! I think it's much better now, though I think I will do another round in the near future.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Zeblade:
well after watching videos.. I could see I never needed ALL of that small tube of glue. I always use some kind of screen protector. I like to sell or give away. And you can ALWAYS tell the used phones that never had a screen protector. Always some kind of scratches.. For me selling it mint.. gets more money.

So use some kind of plastic not metal blade to get the excess glue off. It comes off so easily
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Chocco8:
I had the same issue with mine and all I used is the film that you remove from the Glass protector before application.. cut off small squares and I ran that in the tiny gaps but making sure you don't go too deep.. Patience and time is must..

I do have a question though.. What is the best thing to use if I wanted to remove my protector off, clean the cured adhesive and use the 2nd bottle to reapply??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Warlord1981:
I used paper but I will try this one to get any remaining glue off. In some spots i had to go deeper, I hope I didnt push the glue and stuck it deeper inside. Indeed this procedure it needs a lot of patience :/

When you remove the protector most if not all of the adhesive will be on the protector and the screen should be clean. If however there is some glue on it i think just alcohol will do the job. BUT better wait for other answers as well :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Chocco8:
Sorry I'm a bit of a noob..haha I meant, how can I clean the cured adhesive from the back of the screen protector so I can reuse it again with the 2nd bottle.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Warlord1981:
A sorry you meant remove it from the screen protector.. For this you must wait for someone more experienced to advise :)

I have been using by 6p for more than 1.5 years but never had amazing standby times. The phone used to last a day with decent standby but it never went to a second day with more than 50% battery even with light usage(1.5-2 hr SOT).

I recently got a Lenovo Zuk z2 as a secondary device. It uses SD 820 + 4gb ram. The standby times are crazy. With light usage,Always enabled 4G,some hotspot use and 2-3hr SOT, it easily crosses 3 day mark. It uses similar sized battery but it only has a FHD display.

Does anyone else's 6p offer better standby times ?
