[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] MrColdbird:
TWRP has issues if the wrong firmware is installed.

You can either install a matching firmware first or use one of the patched TWRP builds that works on all of them.

I personally use MrRaines patched TWRP build.

Sure, it's older, but it works and does what it has to do.

Hi,

Today i got stuck updating my rotted E6653.

So i used EMMA with the latest firmware to resque.

Everything wokrs fine the Z5 botted like it should in the first steps guide.

But i got sick of it and turned of the phone in mind to restore my twrp backup.

But from now it seems the bootloader is corrupted and if i plug the phone to the an energy source the Satus LED flashs RED.

I already read it could only be fixed with a new motherboard.

Is that wright?

And why in the hell quit the first steps into bricks my device?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] zolstarym:
When using Samsung's Smart-Switch's emergency recovery/initialization software, what makes it decide what ROM version it puts on your phone?

I had to use emergency mode to fix an exynos G930F bootlooping phone and it put a "claro" versioned ROM on it that is different from before, as there is a claro animation when the phone is starting up and extra claro apps on it by default. Is there a way to force smart switch to put a more neutral ROM on the phone? Does it matter if I have a SIM card in it when restoring?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] :
Use Odin.

Its actually the serial number of the device which decides the firmware region put the exact serial number of ur device while running the emergency firmware recovery.

is there an utility that will allow me to automatically minimize apps that load at startup? I have to applications that I want to run @ startup but I don't need to visually see them.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the_passenger:
you could try to put minimize.exe in \windows\startup\ folder. That app minimizes everything. Search for it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] h4waii:
There is also a load.exe that will run whatever argument passed, hidden and minimized, it will not run it into a bgprocess however.

I put it in the windows\startup folder, however the other app is in that same folder and it doesn't seem to work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ga!nusha:
you can create a mortscript that runs your desired app and after 2 seconds it runs minimize.exe
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jg00d3:
I've never used mortscript before, I downloaded the manual and started reading, can you give an example of how to run an exe (example.exe) and then pause for 2 seconds and then run another app (minimize.exe)?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] blablum:
Minimize.exe only minimizes the current aplication, if you have many open theres a good chance it wont take you to today screen. What you should to is create a script with one line:

Show ( "Desktop" )

This will minimize everything and show the today screen.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Thommas:
Using Show () and Minimize () from MortScript might be a good solution.

I'm trying to launch an exe (TCPMP) minimized from FlashLite and as there is no available solution using Compact Framework, I believe I can do it with MortScript.

Something like :

In flash :

fscommand("myMortScript.mscr");

In the script :

Run("\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe")

While (1)

Show ("FlashLite")
Sleep(1000)

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Yepi69:
I'm getting this device by the end of this month because, comparing to the Vodafone Smart V8, it gets the best bang for my buck at the moment.

I wanted to know if I could install Windows 10 on it, it doesn't even have to be stable working or all but since you can install it on a Xiaomi Mi4, maybe its possible to do the same on this device (yes I know the specs and the model are different).

Why install Windows 10? As a tech enthusiast, basically I just wanted to do it and see it could be done, nothing more nothing less than a proof of concept.

Would be nice if you could install it and dual boot but a geek can dream, question is, is it possible and has someone tried doing it already?

Thank you.

I have music on my phone. It played before without streaming. Now when I try to play music on my phone it tells me it wants to stream it.

This does not happen for all music just two artists so far.

I've confirmed the data is on the phone.

Any ideas?

[LG V30 Accessories] Boomer6345:
I upgraded to LG V30 from Nexus 6P. Skipped the Pixel and Pixel 2 series...

I have a large supply of USB Type C to Type C cables that rapidly charged my Nexus 6P....they will not fast charge the V30 though.

My Type A to C cables will not fast charge it either with anything but the stock LG charger.

I tried the "AUKEY Amp USB Charger with 60W Dual USB C & 4 USB Ports for LG G5, HTC 10, Nexus 5X / 6P and More" from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EXWXVWO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That is supposed to support Quick Charge from both the Type A ports and Type C ports but LG V30 would not say fast charging with any of the ports or cables I used.

Is anyone having any luck with 3rd party Quick Chargers? I wireless charge at night with a dock and in my car but I like to have quick chargers spread around the house for when I need to charge up fast before running out of the house.

I'd prefer Type C ports so I can use all of my Type C to Type C cables...but I'll take anything that works. Looking for multi-port options like the Aukey above so my family can charge their devices too at the same time.

Any suggestions?

[LG V30 Accessories] Boomer6345:
Thanks....really looking for one that has USB Type C ports...I have like a dozen of those cables now (type C on both ends)...all a different color than the USB Type A to Micro USB cables that all the other phones in my house use...makes it easy to grab the right cable among the bunch of them...
[LG V30 Accessories] minnemike:
Are you getting super slow charge, like 4 hrs reported or just not quite as fast?

I have the Nexus 5x and that charger charhes my V30 close to the OEM QC3 charger, just slightly slower.

I did have some issues with a desktop USB-C PCI card triggering a file transfer mode, which gave it that 4 hr slow charge estimate. I had to reset it in developer options and reboot (even though it already was set to "charge only"). Something buggy going on.
[LG V30 Accessories] Boomer6345:
I think it may be charging close to stock charger with my Nexus 6P compatible chargers and Type C cables....but my battery lasts so long and I wireless charge at night...so have not done real test where the battery was close to zero yet.

Was hoping for the phone to confirm it is in fast charge mode...but if it still charges fast that is good enough...we'll see...
[LG V30 Accessories] hachiroku:
I have the same issue. chargers and cables that work with my Nexus 6P do not necessarily charge the V30. seems the USB A to USB C cables don't work as they do for the 6P.

I had something similar with the htc 10. Charger and cable both from aukey together would not work but same components paired with any other worked.
[LG V30 Accessories] mingkee:
The fastest possible type C charging is Power Delivery (PD)

19V vs 9V (QC 2.0)
[LG V30 Accessories] hachiroku:
should we all email LG to let the know the V30 is very picky with QC3.0 chargers? maybe they can resolve this in a future update?
[LG V30 Accessories] immerstark:
My V30, V20, and G5 all exhibit the same behavior when using USB-PD: 5V 2A or 9V 1.67A peak. So if you want the fastest possible charging you need a charger that supports 9V. The 5V 3A chargers wont cut it.
[LG V30 Accessories] minnemike:
Yep, been noticing this too... Only 2a. It's still ok speed but not as good as the qc3 charger. Wonder if those who got c-c chargers got the 9v?
[LG V30 Accessories] foundingfathersfan2:
This has worked great on my v30. Charged it from 25% to 95% in about 40min. Only thing I don't like is that it has no light to tell if it's connected good in the plug

[LG V30 Accessories] immerstark:
The fastest possible type c charging is the fastest charging standard both your phone and charger support. My zte Max xl will only charge at 5v 1.5a from a usb-pd charger, but it will charge at 9v 1.15a with a qc 2.0 charger.

[LG V30 Accessories] immerstark:
I've discovered something interesting about the V30 and PD. The V30 accepts 12V via PD but not via QC3.0. Up until now all of my PD chargers have been 5, 9, and 15V but I recently got a power bank that outputs 5, 9, and 12v. I've never seen a phone accept 12v before.
[LG V30 Accessories] Cordtus:
I have a 12v c-c power delivery charger and it still won't fast charge my phone. When I plugged it into the a to c yesterday it said fast charging 1h 10m remaining to full and when I use the c to c it says charging 1h 20m remaining. It's not much slow but it is and it makes no sense because usb c is the fastest possible way to charge something over USB.

Why would they make this phone use USB c if they aren't even taking advantage of it? My 6p had a bigger battery that charged faster than this phone because they actually utilize the USB c.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jack880:
When using my phone in my car a couple of days ago, I noticed it had stopped charging and the battery level was going down whilst it was plugged into the car charger. When I looked at the battery temperature, I saw that the charging stopped and the battery percentage dropped suddenly from 100% to 90% at a time when the battery temperature spiked (see attached graph).

The next day, the battery temperature spiked again and it again stopped charging until the temperature had dropped.

I'm presuming that there's a safety feature that cuts power to the battery if the temperature gets too high, but my question is why the temperature would get that high in the first place? The phone was mounted on my windscreen, but the weather isn't hot here in the UK at the moment. Could there be a hardware fault or is it more likely to be software?

Thank you

Thanks for the reply. Did you do anything about it?

I'm going to return my phone. I expect that after the Note 7 they have implemented some serious battery thermal protection, but the battery shouldn't get so hot so easily.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Where you running GPS navigation and plenty of other background apps plus being connected to fast charger?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jack880:
I've already had one bad device - had wifi issues. This one, its replacement, is perfect in that respect. I'll swap it for another one though. If that has the same overheating issue, I'll accept that's just how it is with the Note 8.

It's overheated 3 times. Twice was in the car on the windscreen, using GPS and 4G data. The phone was on the windscreen, and may have had sun on it, but the weather isn't hot here at this time of year. I always use my phones in this way and don't ever remember having this issue with any of my previous phones, including my S7 Edge which also had fast charging.

The 3rd time was in bed, streaming HD video over wifi, under the duvet (so i didn't wake my wife up). It did get pretty hot under there.

All 3 times the screen was on max brightness and I was connected to a fast charger. In the car however, the battery wasn't fast charging, it was sitting at 100% and the temperature just shot up spontaneously as you can see from the first graph.

Thanks for the replies.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Jammol:
You conditions for the phone overheating is not because of the phone in what you last described. Using a device on max brightness, charging, GPS, and 4g LTE running with other apps in the background is means to an end. It will get hot and quit charging. There's even a prompt that says it may cause excess battery drainage.

Now add charging to that mix and you'll see that your battery is now discharging and charging at the same time. The battery is now in constant flux back and forth with no rest for cooling. Eventually it will overheat. By the way, just because it's cold outside doesn't mean the sun won't be hot. The sun doesn't heat the air around us, the surfaces the sun's rays touches does. That's why the hottest part of the day is later in the afternoon. It stays colder in the winter because the sun spends less time heating the surface as it's at a smaller radius going across the sky. If the device is on your dash charging, while getting hit with sun rays, and being used for GPS and data, that's a recipe for cooking.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] neograndizer:
It seems like it's the screen causing the shot in temperature especially when at maximum setting. Have you tried decreasing the screen brightness down to half or something else and see if that might be the issue? I can understand shooting temps in the car as the sun and windshield can intensify the heat. I personally don't have an issue with the phone overheating. Mine never spiked above 40'C. But then I don't have brightness set at full. At most it's below 25% (bright screens actually hurt my eyes). The only time it shoots to 100% is when it's outdoors in bright sun. But I don't have it on for long periods when outside.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jack880:
Thanks for the replies. I hear what you're saying about screen brightness and sunlight etc, but I've been using a phone in exactly the same way since I first got a smartphone in 2007 or whenever it was. On long car journeys, I always have the phone on the windscreen with the screen at maximum brightness, with GPS and 4G on, plugged into the car charger, and I've never experienced a a phone overheating and cutting power to the battery.

As an experiment, I've got the phone to overheat twice more, without being in the car. I was watching a 4K video under the duvet in the bed, so was pretty warm, with the screen on full brightness and the fast charger plugged in.

So you are both saying you think my phone is behaving normally, despite previous phones not overheating in similar circumstances?

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] neograndizer:
I'm not certain as my phone doesn't overheat. It does feel warm in the back sometimes, but tends to cool down and my temps never peaked at the spikes you experience. Another troubleshooting suggestion is to try safe mode to rule out apps causing the overheating issue. And did your first Note 8 give you this overheat issue as well or you were not able to investigate due to the Wi-Fi problems it had? Unfortunately, it's hard to say how the battery should behave as it differs from user to user in how they use their device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jack880:
I didn't notice it with my first Note 8, but didn't use it in the same conditions.

I'm still within the period when I can just take it back to the shop and exchange it for a brand new one, so I'll do that. if the new one reaches the same temperatures under the same conditions, I'll just accept that that's how the Note 8 is.

It may be that my past phones have reached the same temperatures, but the battery protection on the Note 8 is more aggressive, so the other phones may have continued to draw power from the charger at a temperature at which the Note 8 doesn't....
