[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yenero:
For few days I will not have access charging my battery. I am thinking about disabling cores and lowering maximum cpu frequency for better battery life. I have root and carbon rom. Is it efficient disabling cores and make one core at %100, or 4 cores at lower use percentage? And what are my other options to save battery? I don't care much performance. I don't mind slowing down. I wish I could test myself but I don't have time to test.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adriano-A3:
Daily I use 3 cores at 1036MHz without excessive lags. I'm using SetCPU to do it. It's possible to create profiles and set frequency, governor and scheduler when a specific app is launched, when battery reaches into a low level, when screen is On/Off, etc.

Screen time about 7,5 hours.

For gaming I need to change it, of course.

I'm using Abricot kernel.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matthew Carson:
So I bought a Galaxy S8+ (7.0) to replace my 6P (8.0), and I'm trying to copy my app data over. Not having any luck. Any suggestions for how to do it? The apps themselves are no big deal, I can download from the Play Store, but I want my data.

6P is still completely stock - locked bootloader, so I would have to erase it to root. This would defeat the purpose. If there is a way to do a complete backup, root, and restore so I could use TiBu that would be awesome.

I do have Google apps backup enabled, and I have a backup on Drive that I can find and see all my apps. However, according to this link you can't restore from a newer version of Android to an older one. It never gives me the option to restore when I add my Google account to the new phone, and I can't find a way to restore from Drive on the new phone, even though I can see all the apps in the backup. Downloading apps from the store doesn't restore their data either. I can't downgrade my 6P back to Nougat without root either.

I tried Helium Backup, but it just simply doesn't work. As evidenced by many comments on the Play Store it doesn't work on the 6P.

Am I just stuck? I would think there would be a better solution than this.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coremania:
You tried helium backup this way I guess ???

https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-backup-and-restore-app-data-with-or-without-root

There are not many ways to do, you could try Holo or super backup.

That's why we root ;)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matthew Carson:
The problem I am having with Helium backup is that it just doesn't seem to work. If I connect through port 5000 from my PC (PC download) and tell it to backup then it just sits there and says "waiting for [IP address]" and never comes back to save anything. If I try to backup to the device, it does a couple of different things - it comes up and asks for my device password (which I put in settings) and then it fills in the password for me, but then either the "Back Up My Data" is grayed out or it sits on that screen, fills in the password, and then the apps start cycling through while it is adding characters to the password, then it gets stuck and stops. I have to reboot the phone to reset the backup to try again. (It's not locked up, just Helium is stuck.)

I'll look into Holo and Super Backup.

Followup: No go on the others. It says Holo can only be used to restore to the same device, and Super Backup needs root to backup the app data.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coremania:
Bad for you, I doubt there is way for you to backup with a locked bootloader if none of the apps are working.

The only way to root a phone without a patched boot.img (SuperSU and magisk) is to use kingroot, but I highly doubt this will work. Do yourself a favor and root your s8 to avoid this the next time.

https://consumingtech.com/install-kingroot-android-8-0-oreo-apk-app-for-android-mobile/

Try it, I never thought I would link something like that :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Yes, pretty much. Google restore is decent in getting your new device close to where it was, but app data (especially for non-Google apps) can be a problem. Sometimes the app has a dedicated folder and you can try copying that over. This worked for me once long ago with WhatsApp before it had it's own backup capability. After the Google restore, exactly which apps are you needing saved data for? Someone may be able to chime in if it is a specific game or well known app. Now that root is available for S8+ you should do that asap before getting it all set up the way you want it. It's only painful one time, but then you will have access to TiBu and all the other "essential" root apps.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matthew Carson:
The problem is that Google restore didn't work either since it was going from an Oreo device to a Nougat device. I didn't think backing up was a big deal since Google is supposed to handle it, but it's not doing me any good at all. I couldn't do a full restore from the phone, and when I reinstall apps from the Play Store it doesn't include the data. Most things have accounts so I can set it back up again, but all of my preferences and settings for every app are gone. I'm pretty much having to go through app by app and reconfigure everything. Plus I have lost high scores and low times for several games...

My only concern with rooting the S8+ is that I have seen that it makes Android Pay not work, and some people say the Play Store has issues. Is that true? I've just begun researching it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
I'm afraid I can't be of much help because I don't use Android Pay or Samsung devices (except the Galaxy Nexus which was great:o) ...but both Pay and PlayStore seem to be working fine on most rooted devices. I have never had a PS issue due to my phone being rooted. I just know I won't be without root because the root apps I use are more important to me in every day use. It's up to the individual to decide whether root is right for them, or not. I suggest hanging out in the Sammy board here on XDA, read and ask questions until you know what you want to do. BUT what I said earlier is true and most will vouch for me... make the decision asap, because unlocking and rooting will require wiping the phone.

Edit: Side note... just found this article which doesn't help you, but it does raise a question: Did you initiate the restore during the initial setup process on the S8+ or afterwards? If afterwards, wiping the phone and trying Google restore again may work.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] justsomeguy007:
Hello XDA just had a question I wanted to clear up. I've had my z play -02 variant for a while now and I'm currently running lineage is 15.0. Just wanted to know if there is a way to get back to complete stock? I know the bootloader can't be locked, but is there a way to regain stock and still get motos ota's? Or is it impossible to get ota's after you've unlocked the bootloader?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Ax1qwer:
OTA is working on unlocked device with STOCK ROM.

Try to flash STOCK ROM via fastboot or RSD tool.

Warning: do not try to flash MM version, OTA update from MM to N cause hard brick.

Try to flash latest 7.1.1 STOCK. I used this stock rom https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620757667 on my 1635-02 RETEU dualsim version.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] newandimprovedman:
When I try to flash it, rsd tool doesn't recognize my phone (probably because I'm in Windows 10) what's the command to flash it via fastboot?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Ax1qwer:
you must be in bootloader mode for flashing.

maybe you do not have important drivers installed. I am using - https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

look at this before installing drivers https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/ho...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/

adb commands are different for each version of stock rom, because stock roms have different files to flash.

sorry for my english.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suibian:
They are both snapdragon 800 device,but 9508v is the China mobile 4g version(with unlock boot loader).How can I use 9506 ROMs for 9508v?If I simply flash it should end in bootlooping or no signal or no lte connection?What can I do to let it work perfectly?:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You don't. Odin will refuse to install a ROM not meant for the device, even if the ROM you're using is from Samsung. So there's no way to put an I9506 ROM on the I9508. Your only alternative is a custom ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suibian:
Oops it's my fault,I didn't describe it clearly?

Actually what I mean is a custom rom(flashable zip in recovery),how about that?

One more thing,it's i9508v rather than i9508?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
A custom ROM should work, but you likely will encounter issues with the kernel. If there is a custom kernel for your device you'll need to flash it after flashing the ROM. Otherwise the device won't work correctly, if at all.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predator1222:
ok, I have a question about the i9508v, I couldn't find a custom rom or recovery, if, say, the i9506 has a custom rom and recovery, it will work with the corresponding ones, won't there be a boot loop or a brick?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
@predator1222 Kudos. You actually used the search engine to find a relevant thread! Most don't.

To answer your question, the recovery includes the drivers for the hardware as part of its makeup. This is why there is no generic recovery that works for all devices. So, while you could install the 9506 recovery, chances are good you'll not be able to use it.

You would have a similar issue with the ROM itself, as the kernel and binaries are designed for a specific device. It would bootloop, though Odin should allow you to recover by installing a stock ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predator1222:
and if I try to flash the factory ROM to the i9506 with Odin? would odin load it or throw an error or would it end in a boot loop?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Aristalex:
Hello everyone, I and my father have the exact same phone (kenzo). The problem is that even though on mine everything works like a charm and I have changed a lot of roms, my father's phone every time I try anything goes soft bricked or have problems with signal and settings. Currently I have flashed via edl the Chinese Dev rom(5.1.1) with which everything works, besides the restrictions of the rom version(language, gapps). I must say that when I first install the Chinese Dev the Sim is not recognised or I have no signal. After the first update everything is ok and calling function works like a charm. After That I try to install twrp (zxc by ~xm) and restore a backup from the previous working installation, but the only I get is settings app fc and problems with calls. Neither of the two sides hear the other while in call. This occurred when I flashed a mm bootloader zip in order to boot to nitrogen is. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3tM1cVKiyp6Q3RvNUtLdEp1Q3M/view ) The rom booted but I had no sound in calling, and the other side couldn't hear either. Any ideas?

Thanks for your time! :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Criston:
Is ur device bootloader is unlocked ?

If yes then by which method u had unlocked by unofficial way or by official way?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Aristalex:
I used to unlock it the official way. I found a post in the nitrogenOS thread that said that if the rom doesn't boot I should flash the zip that I have mentioned in my post. They said it was the mm bootloader. The zip contains a file named emmc_appsboot.mbn which is also on the unofficial unlock zip. So I suppose I unlocked it unofficially. I must say that every time after flashing fastboot rom the mi unlock said that bootloader was already unlocked.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Criston:
U should unlock using the official way if u dont want to face any problem

And also if wanna Flash any custom rom first clean Flash miui using Mi flash tool and google how to Flash custom rom on kenzo

make sure u have backup of all ur files
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Aristalex:
Yes yes I know that with my kenzo everything works if I follow your advice. But with my father's one simply doesn't. I flashed the official miui with mi flash tool. The bootloader remained unlocked without reason. Also I tried clean flash and lock option on the tool without success. Then I wiped data and dalvik and cache and dirty flashed a miui custom rom over it. For the time being everything works perfectly except of the fingerprint sensor. Aida 64 recognize the fp, every other app not. Also I flashed radon kernel because I had settings app FC. That's all. I hope the info help you understand the situation that I am in, and find a way to make it respond as mine...

Mine and the other are exactly the same, they even had the same number on the sticker in the back and same fingerprint sensor. Mine takes every rom, unlock update without problems. My father's not. It is crazy...
[General Questions and Answers] TheoKondak:
Hello, dear community. I am not quite sure I am posting in the correct subforum, but please forgive me if I m doing this wrong. So I love my smartphone. I used to have a One Plus One, which at some point stoped reading the sim card, so I was forced to find a replacement. While searching I stumbled uppon LG v10. I remember I really liked this phone when it came out and I was dreaming of purchasing it, so I did. I found it almost new for $200 which seemed to be too good to be true. I loved certain aspects of the phone, but I grew to hate some others. First of all, it was a nightmare to root and put custom stuff on it. Then for some reason, it was a very slow phone, full of lag most of the times. Anyways, a couple of months after the purchase, the phone just died. It entered a boot loop state and now I can't even enter TWRP on it, so I've decided to move on and search for another device. Could you suggest to me any device?

What I put more weight on my devices are:

1. Easy root, good XDA community with custom roms. I love having the latest version of Android even if it has some bugs.

2. Good camera. I guess everyone likes that. I am a photographer and I like to push the limits of my device when it comes to photography.

3. A good bonus would be to be water resistant ip67 would do the job.

4. Budget not more than $400 (used or new)

5. A big battery would be a +

6. 1080p screen resolution is just fine for me.

Thanks in advance,

Theo

Is anyone else experiencing video playback in Facebook?

It seems to only happen in the Facebook app and it's extremely annoying.

Also sometimes it will skip ahead a few seconds and then back.

[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azzureux:
Hello,

I got a situation. I have access to 2 Ale-L21 phones, 1 is unbranded with C432B612, and the second is locked in Telekom C150B564.

The main problem is battery consumption. It seems that wattever we do, both phones lose energy fast. And every night both need to be charged.

Quick info about the daily use:

1st is used mainly to call and social media (Wifi on, Data off),

2nd is manly for calling (Wifi Off, Data Off).

Every phone is used by 2 different ppl with different life schedule.

I think it's something generated by the system apps, but in battery stats I can't spot nothing special.

Anyone have any wise advice? How can I improve the battery?

Just checked the Telekom version, 92% consumption was from hardware and 2% from software. And in hardware Inactive Cell is 46% and WiFi is 30%.

So if Inactive Cell is guilty, how can I lower the consumption? Any setting that i can disable?

I've always used the direct dial widgets made through the contacts app.

I make about 6-8 of them, put them in a folder and keep them on my home page.

I've been doing this for years on several phones and it's super convenient for me. I've even done it for some of my most popular text contacts.

For the first time ever on my 2xl, I've made them, put them on my home screen, but when I press them to dial I get a "app isn't installed" message.

I'm stumped. I can't figure out why it won't work and was hoping someone here would have some insight.

Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] danon.brown:
With the stock dialer top right of the contact. Hit the 3 dots. Add to home screen, and drag them to add to a folder.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
Thanks for the quick response but that doesn't actually solve the issue.

With the direct dial widget, I could tap the contact on my home screen and it dialed immediately (or texted, if I chose the direct text widget).

Setting the shortcut your way, it opens the contact, which is not a terrible way to go, but does require one more click to actually call someone.

It's not a life changing problem, but I've always been able to do it before and don't understand why it won't work for me now.

Thanks again
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] danon.brown:
It works with the stock launcher. Not sure what launcher you have. Hold for widgets. Then hit direct dial and add contact.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
Yes, you are right about that.

I'm on Nova and have been using nova for the past 4 phones without an issue with this particular widget.

Something must have been changed or maybe nova needs to update something. I'll have to ask that developer.

I wanted to try and like the stock pixel launcher and did for most of the first day (Thursday) that I had the phone, but missed so many of the great features that nova offers.

Again, if I have to use the contact shortcut and make one more click (it might kill me lmao!!), I'll do it.

I absolutely love the phone.

I actually have my first order coming today and I'll be able to compare 2 of these phones and see if there's a difference (screen) and return one of them in a couple of days.

Thanks again for your quick response. Love these forums when everyone is being civil.
