[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] djaneski:
This is the best thing i heard so far!

I was looking for this. I like the UI of Samsung, and it was stable and fast for me for daily usage. Had some bad experiences with LOS and RR so i was thinking of re-flashing stock, then rooting and then removing system apps. The only issue i have is too little free space. Is the effect same if i do that compared to your method? Can you tell me what happened to your little experiment? How much free space do you have?

Can i flash your modified rom and get it to work on my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] secretmachines:
hi everyone, sorry to ask again, i seem to be going round in circles! can anyone advise the next step?

- i installed lineageOS ok, but must have accidentally turned off OEM Unlock, so am now getting "Blocked by FRP Lock

- i reinstalled a version of original firmware, but that is getting stuck in bootloop

- i've tried reinstalling original firmware downloaded from sammobile, with Odin, but that fails

- i've installed Kies and Smart Switch on my PC, but both say the handset is not supported, so I can't install firmware that way

what should i try next? :(
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] Kaiyum:
Im sorry im replying so late,given your post i take it you need some help...I wont go big here and tell you i can fix exactly what you want,however i have managed to get it all working besides repartitioning the mmcblk0!

Im out of town during weekends for work but i can possibly have a rom ready for you by Monday night (GMT+2).

I will still recommend you download SuperR's Kitchen (if possible the donate version)and start cooking your own rom,the kitchen provides 100% j3xnlte and j3 variants!

You WILL need to download the firmware i will point you to for the modem but its for better use also,you can run the stock for a while and then flash (mine or your own) the debloated/deknoxed/lighter version.

About the space,i have attached a SS from my Smart Manager..I have magisksu,magisk-xposed,iYTBP,gapps pico + photos,swiftkey replacing Sammy Keyboard and nova launcher replacing TW..FFox,Yahoo Mail,TiBu,Lucky Patcher and Facebook / Messenger...Some i have placed as system apps and others preinstalled as user apps (such as Busybox and Telsa Unread or Adaway that don't work correctly when placed in /system/app)..

Still i have Airdroid moving files locally and have at least 600mb of romzips being moved all the time while flashing....

That 5.1Gigas you see are 100% usable for me because i can swap system and data apps to my liking...also trust me,if you have relationship issues with googke,debloated roms come down to 1/3 of original size...

Let me know what i can help with,have a blasting weekend!

Peace

Download TWRP if im not mistaken by djeman and flash that through odin!That passes just make sure to UNTICK auto reboot so you can reboot to recovery after removing battery(or just ignore the unticking if ure d

fast enough to hold vol up + home + pwr while the flash resets)

Wipe system,dalvik,cache,data and reboot...

My gf got this phone for Christmas, it's 2017 why are (many) retailers selling a phone that is still on Android 5.1?..
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Kaitlyn2004:
Have had my phone for months, but suddenly the power button stopped working properly.

It's stuck in a recessed state and has no "click" to it anymore. It's very hard to press, but if I use my nail and push it in the power button does feature, but again no "click" or response to the button press. More than anything I am worried about it becoming permanently broken, likely leaving the phone unusable.

Due to some location/warranty issues, I think getting the phone replaced (for now) is near-impossible/not really feasible.

I am in New Zealand where Google doesn't have any presence and I am unsure if any local "phone repair" shops might even be able to fix it - especially if any replacement parts are needed.

Does anyone have any thoughts or advice to try and fix the button myself? It was in a case since day 1 and I cannot recall any single time a drop would have happened or some dirt/sand/etc. would have gotten in and stuck. I used a "rocket blower" I use for my camera gear to just blow the button area, but no change.

Happy to provide more info if needed... all help is more than greatly appreciated!!!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Tulsadiver:
All I can recommend is a soft key power button...on statusbar or navbar. You need to be rooted.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] muzzy996:
I use Fingerprint Quick Action app but same deal (root I think). With it I assigned double tap to fingerprint reader to turn off the display.

As for power button replacement, iFixit teardown of the XL doesn't look like an easy DIY thing, with display damage a likely scenario during disassembly. Good luck with that.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] veskostoev:
It's not a fix but for the moment Nova louncher has great gestures to lock the screen swiping up or down, double tap and more.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sidepart:
I know how this sounds, but try sealing your lips around it and give it a good suck. Like you'll feel that you're sucking air through other gaps in the housing. Popped my button out and it's clicking again. Might only be a temporary fix, but it's been a couple of days without an issue for me. Damn thing has been bugging me for about a month, sometimes getting stuck long enough to hard-reboot the phone. Almost felt like there was some sticky **** under the button.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nico3d3:
When I try do it from within the settings app, I don't see any new security update. I Also tried with LG Bridge: I'm able to connect to the phone via USB but then, LG Bridge tells me that the phone is already up to date. This is not entirely true since my phone has the 20b firmware (march 1, 2017 security update). There are more recents security update for Android but, they are nowhere to be seen on the LG G5. I called LG phone support and the guy on the line had no idea when those updates would arrive. Knowing that we can't unlock bootloader, I'm pretty sure this will be my last LG phone.

I'm a tinkerer so please LG, if you refuse to give us updates when they are needed, at least give us the option to do it ourself by installing LineageOS. It just show that this company doesn't care about its customer.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] fromerito:
Hi! Don't know if any of you had made this but, I took my phone to a technical since my front glass cracked a little and I want it to sell my phone in better condition, but the guy of the store, told me that changing just the front glass is not worth it because once the front glass is changed, the quality and depth sensation of the screen will be reduced. He recommend me to change it only if the screen is seriously damage, like I can barely see the screen because of the scratch but the touchscreen is ok. So guys what do you think about this? Is that true? Is not worth it? :confused::confused:
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] DB126:
Depends who made the replacement panel. I have no direct experience with G4P panels but found quality varies widely on some other devices. Tough to know what you're getting at a local repair shop.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Peterrrrr:
I wounder if it is possible to tweak in the build prop to get more fps in the 4K video recording?

I use the two 7.1 roms on the two links below on my LG G Pro 2 D838 and everything works great except the 4K recording, if I acitvate the 4K mode the live screen in video mode lags alot and the recorded videos have about only 15 fps.

On the stock Kitkat 4.4 and Lollipop 5.0 the fps is on 30 stable.

I have tried alot of different camera apps and they all give the same result.

So anyone here who can give me som advice where to begin?

Anyone use this app? Its really good to hide the soft keys and give more screen display..however the problem is when Im using the keyboard. The app does mention that you may have a keyboard problem after you install it. Its not really a problem rather annoying..

Hi again,

I tried your version but I get the following error:

BROM ERROR : S_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL (2005)

Tried the general fixes of this error but no help. Also, I used the latest SP Flash Tool from the official website and another ROM and it worked (only without battery).

I'll try on a different computer with your downloads to see if I get the same result.
[Android General] Mercyless:
This means that the device will try to turn it on, not start flash mode.

First, charge the battery.

Do not use the latest flashtoolt, use what i've shown, the older version!! ;)

Reinstall the drivers, use another cable.

The firmware is working, I've used it many times! :good:

Hi merciless,

I finally managed to flash our rom just now but its still just stopping at a spinning circle, Any Ideas mate

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

Sorry,

what i meant was that i managed to flash a stock rom but it never actually booted up, it just gets to a spinning disc

but originally i never enabled usb debugging so i fear that is where the issue is do you know of anyway to enable usb-debugging via adb\fastboot?
[Android General] Mercyless:
Unfortunately I do not know how to work this way with adb / fastboot.

I did not have to use it yet.

If you do not start the system to do a hard reset, it will surely be good afterwards. :)

After the hard reset, the first start is 15-20 minutes, just wait patiently. :)

I will also make a video about the installation, I hope it will help.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bloomylicious:
Hi all, long time listener first time caller.

So it's been bugging me for a while that my top and bottom speakers don't seem to be uniform.

If I play the same sound out of each speaker separately it sounds different.

My bottom speaker sounds a bit more base heavy and flatter. My top speaker is higher/sharper.

I've been in touch with Google support to see if that is how the phone is supposed to be, or just a defect with my device.

Currently I'm waiting for someone higher up to respond to my query as they don't seem to know how the speakers are supposed to work.

Please can you test your device and see what you think?

Thanks for taking the time to read this far.

Bloomy.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
This has been confirmed a few times already - the top speaker is physically different than the bottom speaker and so it is basically tuned to play the higher frequencies than the bottom speaker. They are not identical and will not sound identical.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bloomylicious:
Thanks for this.

Edit - just found the call quality real life review thread and the link to 9-5 Google confirming this.

Annoying that they can confirm it to them but are still unsure after around 10 days with support about how their own speakers work!

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JCBomb:
next radio is streaming over cell/wifi not over fm.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] gk1984:
Next Radio does FM, but yes, it will stream if there is data. I tested Next Radio myself about a month ago briefly. I disabled data and wifi and picked a station -- a station came in. However, others tried to replicate it and even tried a different app and found it did not work. So I was left scratching my head.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Warlord721:
On my HTC 10 which does have a FM tuner, nextradio will only work with headphones plugged in because it uses it for the antenna.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] gk1984:
I tried NextRadio again (as I had last month with success) and found something interesting. Short answer is no... FM radio does not seem to be enabled.

Disable data AND WiFi prior to launching NextRadio -- radio comes in fine. However, I have a network traffic monitor screen overlay and I saw data still coming through despite no cellular data or wifi being enabled.

Turn on Airplane mode prior to launching NextRadio -- the app prompts me that it can't work while in airplane mode due to the radios being disabled.

Turn off Airplane mode, leaving WiFi and cellular data turned off, then launch NextRadio -- prompted with a message to enable data, indicating FM radio is not supported.

What I take from this is that WiFi and/or cellular data doesn't actually get turned off when you turn them off. Perhaps a bug?

Isn't there an FM radio built into most (if not all) Qualcomm SoC's? I remember reading something a couple months back during of the of the hurricanes about enabling it/having a preinstalled app for it.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JCBomb:
Yea, it's on nearly every device with a SOC. It just needs to be activated by the OEM.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] gk1984:
Yes, it's pretty much there by default. But I had read in some teardowns that some OEMs don't physically connect the FM antenna, so even a software update wouldn't fix it. Unclear if that's the case on the Essential phone or even true anymore. I'm sure things are integrated more than they used to be.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] joel_gil:
Sorry for the long post.

Got this sprint S7 as a 2nd hand unlocked phone a while back and worked quite nicely for almost a year. Now very often when I reboot it gets stuck on the LTE boot logo. While it is at it, it will burn through the battery in like 30m-1h, the phone gets very hot. This has already happened a handful of times so I try to never reboot unless very necessary. This doesn't happen on every single reboot though.

Right now it's showing the same issue. Before I've notice it'll do this for a few days and the like magic will start working again. It sucks because right now my phone is as good as dead.

The phone is not rooted and it's running stock ROM, with latest firmware and all updates(I checked for updates a couple days ago and there was none), but I don't know which exact version is at.

I've already tried rebooting into recovery and powering off and restarting from there. But no luck.

I had a strong suspicion this was due to switching sim cards (I moved a few months ago) and sometimes a "UICC unlock needed" (or sth like that) message has been shown but the phone continues to work. Today a friend mentioned it could be the battery. He said if the battery is damaged it could be causing problems on boot but I have no clue if that's true and/or how to check for it.

I'd thank anyone who could tell me how to troubleshoot this problem and find the real cause. I'm comfortable following some technical instruction to be able to grab logs from linux command line if someone taught me how.

Thanks in advance!
