But it isn't flawless. What version of Android, or any other operating system, has ever been flawless. There are always bugs. If not, why would they have bug trackers?

Other Android devices from other manufacturers actually run better than the pixel. So in order to get quick updates out they compromise quality of OS.

Let me know

Have you had good results with the touch fix?

It's really killing any kind of gaming for me. I can't believe I spent so much money on a flag ship with so many issues. ??

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fivavoa:
Hey all, I've been having a bit of issues with the Z1 that happened a few months ago.

I just want to clarify what exactly is going on with the device, I've looked into other threads with similar situations but I just want to make sure it comes to the same conclusion.

So the Z1 shuts off near instantly at random intervals being at 80% or 60%.

The thing I never see addressed though is that in deep sleep, my Z1 can last a whole week without issues, the most activity it sees is playing music and nothing more. On airplane mode and everything.

So I just find it strange that if it's dormant, the battery is 100% fine with a very long life, yet upon use for about maybe an hour, whether it's light web browsing or gaming, it randomly goes straight to 0% and dies instantly. When I set it to charge it says it's charged to 60% as if it still has battery. This kind of activity doesn't seem like it's a hardware related issue, or at least it doesn't seem to be related to the battery capacity.

So I figured that maybe it's software related somehow, yet the same issues arise, I've tried stock kitkat and lollipop, AOSP kitkat, lollipop and nougat, and they all have the same issues. One thing I noticed though is that ever since this issue started, I noticed that I can't wipe my data partition anymore.

It mentions being unable to wipe the partition due to encryption or something, even though I've never set up encryption before and for years I've been able to wipe data just fine until a few months ago. Maybe it's related? Do I have some kind of virus?

Just want to clear up any misconceptions before I conclude that I'll need to buy a new battery.

Try command in fastboot : fastboot format data, this may help you
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tortuosit:
Same here... I was under the impression it more likely happens on camara usage. Some moments later.

Looks like this here:

- Battery is eg 69%

- suddely it says "Shutdown"

- I reboot and it says 0% and shuts down again

- Needs to load a few minutes, then has like 70% after boot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twenty five characters:
I guess im using an upgrade today...AT&T....which would yall get if you had a choice

Kinda leaning towards the note 8 but havent really done much research, i just need a phone asap since this is kinda lame having no phone.

Old phone was a nexus 5 running nethunter. Really was hoping there would be something i could put nethunter on that was offered straight from AT&T but there isnt and i have a huge credit with them that for some reason keeps growing so i might as well use it.

If you could pick any AT&T phone which would you get.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Alpha1020:
Basically title. I believe the only way to brick it is by flashing a root file that isn't compatible with your device, but are there other ways?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] dodo2244:
Yes. To both questions.

Only way .... No.

Let's see flashing your fon with a low battery, interrupting a flash by pulling your batty or sd card (lol), flashing the wrong model firmware, flashing a corrupted zip, passing thru a metal detector while flashing your fon (lol x2) ETC

Please don't try to prove me wrong, you'll end up proving me right. With a brick as a trophy ????
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Alpha1020:
It would only result in a softbrick though right? Don't you have to try to flash a custom Rom that isn't compatible with your device to hardbrick it?

[Wing, P4350 General] Soniku007:
for some reason my end call key on my Wing makes this annoying beep after i press it. I have also noticed that the Call History and delete buttons also make this odd sound. Any ideas as to why? I have tried to listen to all of the sounds that i could find on my Wing, but no luck finding the source of this annoying beep
[Wing, P4350 General] kraftey:
Is it really that annoying? It just sounds like a beep... :confused:
[Wing, P4350 General] Soniku007:
yes it is annoying because it's not supposed to beep at all.

After some searching on my Wing, I have discovered that it's the dpadctl.mid sound that has somehow been mapped to the buttons mentioned in my first post about this issue. How can I unmap this sound from these buttons?

EDIT: I have found the solution for this problem if anyone else is having it.

Disable the "ding" sound when initiating a call and ending a call.

hkey_current_user\controlpanel\soundcategories\incall

change the initvol to 0. do the same for hkey_current_user\controlpanel\soundcategories\incallfeedback

The sound is dpadctl.mid

Disable SMS message sent notification:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox

3. Next, click on Inbox (make sure the Inbox is highlighted) and select Edit, New Key

4. Name the New Key as "Settings"

5. Click on "Settings" (make sure the Settings is highlighted) and select Edit, New String Value

6. On "Value name:", key in SMSNoSentMsg and in "Value data", key in 1

Hi,

My s3 neo has died because of over voltage (unstable electricity) and I think the motherboard is dammaged.

I want to replace it with a new one, but if I do so will my data remain on the phone or it is gone with the old motherboard ?

and if its gone , is there any possible way to transfer the data from a dead motherboard ???

Thanks for your time in advance ?

If its dead you can't recover the data but i think few gsm service might be able to do it. Because data chip is on mobo data will be gone if you change it

From Razer's website.... Wish you luck though and curious to what you find out.

What mobile networks will the Razer Phone work with?

The Razer phone will work with GSM networks, like AT&T, T-Mobile, and their subsidiaries. It will NOT work on CDMA networks like Verizon and Sprint.

Same here. Data and text work, but no voice. It's weird because the phone rings and then doesn't connect.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] 2ndcarpenter:
I will tell you. The answer is no. I'm in Korea KT is CDMA. The data side works, UMTS B1 & LTE B1 B2 & B8 but the voice calls do not work. In phone drops even LTE if/when I attempt to make a call. Calls over Wifi isn't an option either since my carrier doesn't support it. Over here everyone uses VOIP anyways. Im not bothered by the lack of calling I rarely even use my 'phone' anyways. Plus I'm hoping to get back to the states soon and I will be back on AT&T.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Xzoom13:
Verizon solution

I purchased the Razer phone and am using Verizon with it. There is a work around that their tier 2 tech team can do. They add your line just on their LTE(GSM) network ( No band 13 CDMA is utilized). So if you are in an area that has good to great LTE signal then you can get the phone. Mine works great at work and outdoors. My only issue is at home. I always had one bar with all my other phones and now I have no service. I am waiting for a Samsung 4g LTE extender from Verizon so that I can correct that issue.

Rumor has it, Verizon will make the shift to just LTE by the end of 2018. If and when this happens, CDMA band and cellphones will no longer work with their network.

Hope I helped anyone who has the phone or wants to buy it. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] eriknors:
Ok I got mine working on LTE as well but there's no phone capabilities. Sure u can send text and surf the internet but u can't make phone calls.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Xzoom13:
You can. Verizon needs to configure it on their end. I made calls all day today.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] eriknors:
How did u talk to tier 2? cause most reps don't know their head from a hole in the ground

And if that's the case any LTE phone should work on their Network right?
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Mdaly001:
Pls give us a heads up if you get it working.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Xzoom13:
I used Verizon's live chat initially. Reason for this is I was able to save the conversation and use it as a reference when I had to call back and got another rep. Also, good way for the tier 2 tech team to catch up. It took some time and persistence to get it right. Once the chat rep exhausts all their troubleshoots, they will escalate it to tier 2. A threat about me leaving and going elsewhere was used on one occasion.

It did take time and patience but I think the phone is worth the trouble. My Razer works just as well as my GS 7 edge. Just a reminder. It is on LTE only, so if you hit an area without LTE you will not function.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] eriknors:
I did my own questioning with this and simply stuck my SIM card from my Google phone into my Razer and for while it worked but I noticed it didn't stick.

So I called Verizon and they told me that because my sim card was registered to my Google phone I would need to go and get a new sim and stock it into the Razer and it would then work on LTE and would stick
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Xzoom13:
I am going to say no and you should try live chat again. I had ported out when I first got this phone back around Thanksgiving and I couldn't stand it and wanted back in to Verizon. When I came back in, they activated a new sim using a pixel 2, popped it in my phone and did some configs on their end. You do not need a new sim if your current sim is on a phone that has LTE service with same OS and on Verizon already.

[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] dwycoff2013:
Just wanting to let you guys know, I'm on a vzwPerry XT1767 and if you connect via USB to adb and issue 'adb reboot bootloader,' you can then issue 'fastboot flash logo logo.bin' (assuming the 'logo.bin' file is whatever boot logo you want in your ADB directory) and as long as:

1- the file keeps the name, and

2- the image doesn't exceed the size of the original,

it will successfully flash a custom boot logo with a locked bootloader.

IDK if this is already known, but lately I've been doing anything and everything in my power to figure out a root method for this phone, and in doing so I stumbled across this forum and decided to give a custom logo a try. Js,for the record. How this helps\informs!

http://telegra.ph/woods-development-01-07
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] dwycoff2013:
Btw, one more thing, just wanting to get someone to clarify here:

The reason it's possible (even with VZW's permalocked bootloader) - the 'logo.bin' doesn't invoke the TrustZone Kernel security from PBL to SBL1 - SBL3, then on into ABOOT because it isn't part of the 'flashing_critical' or 'preloader\bootloader' parameter\class of partitions ??
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] mn1968:
This worked great on my Moto G4. I reinstalled the stock firmware so I can sell it, but didn't like the N/A Warning about the device not being trusted. Now it boots cleanly without any silly warning.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] mn1968:
The positioning of the N/A on the E4 makes it difficult to cover/hide in a satisfactory manner...unless you use a white background - then it's no problem. However, I prefer a dark/black background. I have not really been happy with any of the boot logos I've made. I think I have a somewhat decent solution, though. I have attached a black template for anyone that's interested. Simply add your own artistic creation and flash your new boot logo. The top is an off-white/gray that mostly hides the N/A, and quickly blends into the black background. For kicks, I've also included another flashable logo.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] PimpMy5Ton:
Here ya go, I made the white ones cause it doesn't show the N/A in the upper left corner
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] Eguy:
I ended up figuring it out and making my own. I like the black, due to the brightness of the screen at night but the N/A still shows up on there since I didn't make a white strip at the top. Such a weird thing for Lenovorola to put in. Thanks for making these!
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
It's not weird, it's on purpose. So they know you unlocked it, since it voids your warranty.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] Eguy:
Yes, but it also shows that in the bootloader so it's not like they needed it twice. Especially on the boot splash.

[LG Leon Questions & Answers] Urgo808:
Hi guys,

I have the phone of my father in law that (I think) is a LG LTD Leon that have a broken screen which stays black when I turn on the phone.

I would like to be able to get back all the datas, like the messages etc to put them back in his new phone (a Galaxy A5) using Wondershare MobileTrans, the thing is I can't enter the pincode on the LG nor activate the debug mode for MobileTrans to work.

I read here and there (on androidphonesoft and fonepaw for instance) that you can enable the debug mode of a phone with a broken screen using ADB commands but I don't know how, so is there anyone that could help ?

Also will the ADB commands help me enter the pin code ?

Thank you in advance for your help.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
You may have noticed the ~1 GB cache partition on 3rd gen HDX devices that was used as temporary work space for chunky FireOS OTA updates. Typically <5% is used by Android which leaves a sizable block of space completely wasted. While it is possible to adjust partition boundaries to to expand either the System or Data partition that task is not for the faint of heart on an Android based device.

One option is to utilize a portion of the Cache partition for eMMC backed swap, especially since the stock kernel does not support zRAM. This can be attractive for those who run large or numerous apps that consume the 1.8 GB of available RAM. While Android's LMK will typically prevent OOM (out-of-memory) conditions under heavy pressure the constant recreation/reloading of killed activities can be annoying.

It is pretty easy to create a swap file in the Cache partition with an app like App2SD (just an example; not an endorsement). Suggest starting with 128 or 256 MB. You may want to crank down the swappiness value (default on most ROMs is 60) to limit write activity to eMMC which has a finite lifespan. Tuning LMK is also part of the game; lots of apps can handle that including the fan favorite L Speed or any of the popular Kernel Manager apps (EK Kernel Manager, Kernel Adiutor, etc).

eMMC backed swap has its pros and cons. While experimenting won't hurt you'll probably want to do a little research before making swap a permanent part of your config.

Enjoy! :)

edit: A tool like DiskInfo can help illuminate how partitions are allocated/utilized on your device.

FWIW - the following values returned acceptable results for my typical usage scenario:

- LMK thresholds (in MB): 16/32/48/64/80/96

- swappiness: 40

- vfs cache pressure: 70

Edit 04/18: Over time I have stopped twiddling with most VM parameters (accepting default values) as there was not a sustained, meaningful difference in performance to justify maintaining custom settings. However, I have found increasing the LMK "empty app" threshold provides a noticeable increase in response time with light to moderate multi-tasking. New LMK settings as follows:

LMK thresholds (in MB): 16/24/32/48/64/128.

I have found these values work well on most devices equipped with ~2 GB of RAM. In fact setting appropriate LMK values can all but eliminate the benefits of file based swap on this device. Obviously YMMV.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Quick follow-up: The config outlined in the OP remains on my daily driver and continues to enhance the overall enjoyment of this device. Over time I refined a few tunings for my workflow. Difference are subtle but yield better resource utilization. YMMV.

- swappiness: reduced to 20 to further discourage cache file writes

- VFS cache pressure: restored device default (100)
