[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camini:
Hi,

just want to ask, you're stuck in bootloop at the "samsung" Logo or where?

Because I am having bootloops, too since 2 days. Phone kept restarting one or 2 times since last 3 days and when i got home on 1. november i put my phone to the charger and got back 20min later and saw it was rebooting.

Mine is stuck in optimizing apps or if i wait long time then it is at starting android: starting apps and i see when the color temperature of the phone changes (i think of the light sensor) it gets stuck and reboots.

just for docu (even if its not the same problem):

i have a 2nd spare s3 for testing here and to test ag. hardware issue i made a twrp backup and both are dying. after facory reset and installing apps i recognized that it is dying at the installation of telegram app and after that its going to the same bootloop on both phones. i checked telegram and seems to fit in, they updated their app at 1. november. and date code of last changes before the bootloop: telegram was modified. so for my problem it seems to be caused by telegram.

I am using bliss rom 6.1 (Andoid 6 Marshmallow, CM13 based) at i9300

sorry for maybe not beeing a help. I now found out that it happens to other app installations, too. so seems to be a problem deeper in android/interfering with this specific rom - maybe its play store . So far since it happens on 2 identical s3 with this rom I will have to change the rom now. :crying: (was stable >1year)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niggyminator:
It is stuck on the Samsung Logo. I've been testing multiple ROMs for stabillity because after some time it will randomly crash (most of the time after 2 - 3 weeks of usage) but it was never this bad. I thought it was due to the fact that newer versions of Android need stronger Hardware, so I switched back to KitKat.

But Telegram could be a reason for this. I too use it and if you say they updated it, the timeframe would match.

I know that my spare motherboard is fully functional, with stock rom, not rooted or anything. I will swap it out as soon as I can and will install Telegram to try to confirm that this could be the reason.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camini:
good luck!

But if you'r stuck at the samsung logo, sounds even worse than mine. if your having a new board could at least be an option to check if its really not a hardware issue (you mentioned that its getting again unstable after some time)

for my problem I managed to backup most things out of the nandroid image and moved to ressurection remix with android nougat. the new rom is running fast and so far without any problem - hope it stays like that :).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidferret:
Hey guys sorry if this is newb question but I've been looking for hours and just getting overwhelmed.

I have an SPC glow 10.1 cheap tablet purchased in Spain, apparantly a rebranded Chinese tab.

Android version 6.0, tried rooting with Kingoapp APK which was a complete fake waste of time. Tried framaroot, it said the exploits don't work.

Where should I be looking to be able to root something like this? I.e. which app/project like Xposed or Magisk here?

Thanks a lot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidferret:
No, I have not, how would you do that? There is no info on the Internet if I search for this brand name SPC.

Is there a way to find out which Chinese tab this is a rebrand of perhaps? Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Augustoandro:
Please take a backup of ur data before proceeding further.

Try this,

Download adb and Koush Universal adb driver and install them on ur pc, always install the driver first and don't install the drivers adb setup asks u to install.

Run command prompt as administrator.

Open the folder in c drive where adb is installed, u can use file explorer for this.

Press Shift+right click and select open command window here.

Enable USB debugging on your phone and connect it to the pc by a USB cord.

Enter command "adb devices" without quotation marks.

If it shows some device connected, only then proceed further.

Enter command " adb reboot bootloader"

Enter command " fastboot devices", if it shows some device to be connected, only then proceed further.

Enter command " fastboot oem unlock".

Ur phone may then ask for final confirmation on the phone screen, select yes.

When procedure completes, type "fastboot reboot" and ur phone will reboot.

U can now use Kingoroot or any other tool for rooting.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidferret:
Thanks Augusto, your advice was great,

it worked so far, but it wasn't easy getting there.

Here's what I did for others:

1. Installed adb and fastboot on my computer from Android developers, turn on debugging on tablet

2. Downloaded universal USB driver installer (aka. koush driver)

3. Installed but adb did not see my tablet, turns out the tablet is not in the list for the USB driver installer

4. Downloaded source code for koush driver, had to modify the .inf file as described in one of the comments on the github page,

by copy pasting two of the existing lines in the inf file and replacing with the USB id codes found from Device Manager in Windows 7.

5. After modifying the .inf file was able to install the driver from Device Manager "Update Driver..." for the Android device

6. Finally after this adb was able to see it under "adb devices"

7. Restart to bootloader with the command "adb reboot bootloader", this entered fastboot on my tablet

8. Tried to run "fastboot devices" but again the phone is not seen.

9. Apparently when in fastboot mode, the tablet appears under completely different USB ids which can be seen in Device Manager

10. Had to go back to the same .inf file and add two more lines with the new Device IDs

11. Installed the driver again in Device Manager, "Update driver"...

12. Now fastboot can see it too!

13. Entered the command "fastboot oem unlock", got the message that the unlock failed!

14. Had to restart tablet in normal mode go into Developer Options and set "OEM unlock"

15. Reboot to fastboot, unlock now works! Reboot phone using "fastboot reboot"

A strange thing happened at this point, the little android figure with cogs in his stomach came up for a few seconds, then the OEM logo for a long time,

after waiting a few minutes I force reset it. It started up but the system was completely erased and put into factory state, including completely erasing every single file I had on it,

even pictures, etc., it asked the first install questions from the very beginning. Fortunately I didn't have anything valuable.

So I got this far, now I'd like to root it,

I tried framaroot, not working, I don't trust Kingoroot, any recommendations for the root method from a reliable source?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Augustoandro:
I told you to take backup of your data beforehand.

I am recommending Kingoroot because I personally used it to root my phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidferret:
I know about the backup, I just wasn't expecting it to wipe everything, I don't know why it did that.

As for Kingoroot, I installed the official app from play store which was a completely fake and dangerous looking piece of crap,

it showed like 50 ads asked me to rate it and then some weird pop ups kept coming, and then it did nothing. No message whatsoever.

Thank god my phone wasn't rooted because

I don't know what the lowlifes who do KingoRoot would have done with it.

I don't trust this company to install their software on my computer and I can't believe you guys recommend such an obviously

unscrupulous, malware product to others. Why is KingoRoot even on Google Play, they should be among the trojan trash of the every single antivirus and antimalware.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Augustoandro:
I meant Kingoroot for PC and not Kingoroot Android.

They are different, although from the same company.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidferret:
Wow it turns out I was using a fake Kingoroot from the Play Store so I take back my comments regarding KingoRoot.

I can't believe the Play Store allows such trash.

Hi, guys. How do you usually spend your weekends? What interesting places and events do you visit? :) I'm looking for new ideas for spending my free time because I feel a bit bored of my usual activities. In my case I usually stay at home and have just a lazy home relax with reading/watching movies/playing computer games. Or if I'm with my friends, we often attend concerts, art exhibitions, various cafes and cinema, also sometimes we have long walks across our city.

So... What more? :)

[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] pklunavat:
I am not at all happy that I bought the HTC U11+. Overall, this phone is a 7 out of 10 at best. I am on T-Mobile and not happy. I have been with HTC since 2009. And was always impressed. The last phone was the HTC One. This U11+ is simply unreliable.

Calls: When I call people they are frequently unable to hear me on the first call. Maybe they do hear me on the second call. We do hear each other if they call me back.

Gmail: Frequently, the gmail app does not load properly. It will give me a white screen. I go out, and come back in, and we are fine.

Battery: It lasts about 30 hours. But I am not a heavy user, and do try to keep location turned off.

Speaker: Sometimes caller does not hear me via speaker phone.

T-Mo tech support said that this phone does not have LTE 1900. Therefore I am operating on 4G 1900. That is not T Mo's sweet spot.

Did I complain enough? I can give you a fresh one. I came back to xda seeking root options, but I think it is a bit early for devs. But they do always save the day. So, only love for this community.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] dragonii:
I concur the Gmail bug. Also, the notifications drawer, in the home screen, takes several tries to come down when you pull it down from the centre of the screen. Finally, sometimes, the auto-brightness does not do its job with the brightness very low.

Apart from that, the rest is worthy it.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] johninsf:
Sorry to hear you are not enjoying the device. I was concerned about my mobile signal and speed so I downloaded LTE Discovery app.

My U11+ never shows that I am on LTE on the status bar. It always shows 4G. LTE Discovery app shows I am connected to band 4 LTE and speed test shows the same ball park up / down speeds as my Pixel here in SF.

I like this phone ALOT but unsure if I will keep it for the long haul.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Nghtmare:

[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] msc125:
I'm loving this phone

Brightness is good for me, night filter built in is nice to have

Edge sense carousel is great, and I've had no problems as mentioned above

However, I'm disappointed with the camera. It got really good reviews, but it seems that any shot with motion in it comes out blurry

Shots of buildings or landscapes are great, but when I try to take pictures of my kids, it's blurry. Apparently a lot of new smartphone manufacturers are concentrating on HDR processing rather than getting bigger sensors. A friend with an iPhone 8 has the same problem, as does another friend with the Pixel 2 XL.

I'm trying the Google Camera Port on my U11+, hopefully it will show some improvement....
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] b_rajesh13:
Agreed. I Live in Australia and purchased the Taiwan version. Works like a charm. Love this phone!
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] paulikxp:
Well, do I love it? I do like it a lot. I'm coming from the HTC 10 which I really loved but in the end the battery wasn't up to scratch anymore.

The U11+ is large, almost too large for my jeans pockets but that's not surprising, the phone dimensions were no secret. I got the hyped transparent black version and I like it but I think it's far overrated. Thanks to that ultra glossy glass back it's impossible to use the phone without a case, I'm using a cheap transparent flexible bumper thing which does the job.

The battery life is great, it easily does 48 hrs (without any optimisation other that disabling News Republic) and more (actually more than 72hrs over Christmas when I hadn't used it much) with the same usage pattern of my old 10 which lasted about 10 hrs in the end and one full day when it was new so this is surely a great improvement. The screen of the 10 is the better one I woould say, especially that purple tint when scrolling doesn't look nice, but it's sharp, bright and the colours are good.

I haven't taken many photos but the few I took were at least as good as the already very good 10's camera. The earphones are amazing and so is the fingerprint scanner.

I won't say that I love it but as mentioned before, I like it a lot. I'm still happy that I haven't bought the 5T instead out of impatience! It's also still early into the phone's life, there hopefully will be a few more tweaks and improvements over time.

Hi, coming from HTC 10. In my opinion, the HTC 10 was a good phone. But the HTC U11+ is absolutely thrilling me. Usually I rooted all my HTCs directly, so far I don't really have any desire to do that, because the device does everything I need.

The sound is great, the battery is excellent. The whole thing is completely stable and I personally find squeezing phenomenal, especially with Edge Sense Plus.

I have been using the U11+ since December 21st and I love it. The phone is very fast, has a very good display and a great design. The only negative side is that it needs a bit more care when holding it in the hand not to fall.
