[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alan06095:
Anyone successfully unbricked a hard bricked Fire 7" 5th gen with a fastboot cable?

I foolishly tried to flash 5.1.2 onto my Kindle, and now it won't turn on at all, even holding down volume down and power does nothing. The only bit of life it seems to have is when I plug it into my PC, I occasionally see in Device Manager under Ports it will flash MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM (Android) (COM5), but then it disappears.

Am I probably throwing away $10 by buying one of these cables? Since I'm out of warranty, best Amazon will do is give me 15% off a new one.

Hi,

I had the watch paired with my android phone and was using Amazfit Watch app to sync.

I have accidentally removed the saved Pace entry in bluetooth settings of my android phone. Now in the phone, i am unable to see the watch in the bluetooth devices list and hence unable to connect.

I tried rescanning the QR code entry shown in the phone but nothing worked.

Is there anything that i can try to make the watch bluetooth visible to near by devices?

Thanks,

Yuvaraj
[Amazfit] yuvarajv:
Solved:

---------

I had to factory reset my phone and install the latest firmware.

I immediately got the pairing request in my phone and was able to pair with watch.

Hello,

I am trying to get to developer mode on my HP 14 G3 and it gets stuck on the "preparing system for dev mode" screen. The progress wheel continues to spin but over an hour on the last attempt made no progress.

In recovery mode, ctrl+D, it goes to transitioning screen, then preparing system screen. Progress wheel freezes momentarily with "starting in 30" displayed top left (does not count down) and then "/sbin/clobber-state: 1: pv: Input/output error" is displayed and the progress wheel starts spinning.

Have made 3 attempts so far. No trouble booting back up normally, powerwash after 1st attempt. Anyone know what's going on?

Thank you in advance.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] morjam401:
I bought a used t-mobile galaxy s8. The website I used said clean imei and I put my sim in the phone and it worked fine. After taking it home it stopped working. I played around with the settings to get it work and came to find that it works briefly after turning phone off and then back on. After about 10 minutes I can't make call or even perform a speed test via speedtest app. The dialer screen will not even load and remains blank, then no calls incoming or internet. If i restart then it starts again. This made me suspicious and I eventually found the t-mobile imei site which says it has an outstanding balance and may not be able to be used. I just find it weird it works then stops. Is that what is causing it? Will it eventually stop working completely?

Make sure the middle option is selected and not "never use cellular network"

[Google Pixel 2 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jco23:
for those that have the Verizon (unrooted) version, can someone please confirm if they have tried DNS66 to block ads (in particular, those in-app ads), and how well that has performed? i got info from someone using the non-verizon version on the XL, but just wanted to see here.

thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 Themes, Apps, and Mods] superleeds27:
Why not use AdGuard?
[Google Pixel 2 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jco23:
does AdGuard work?

also, my understanding is the DNS66 does not need to be running in the background, so less battery drain.
[Google Pixel 2 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dbrohrer:
DNS66 has been working well for me. I will say most ads are blocked. A couple apps are still displaying ads in-app. I do like that DNS66 doesn't show up in my battery stats like AdGuard.
[Google Pixel 2 Themes, Apps, and Mods] superleeds27:
DNS66 blocks at domain level meaning it can block full websites accidentally. DNS66 is constantly running too.

AdGuard, although it shows up in battery stats, doesn't drain battery. I can still hit 5/6/7 Hours SOT on my P2.

https://kb.adguard.com/en/android/solving-problems/battery
[Google Pixel 2 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dbrohrer:
I understand DNS66 runs constantly. Lots of apps run constantly and don't drain the battery significantly. I've read that link. Just my opinion, but I think it's a skewed explanation. If you take those words at face value, wouldn't the total mAh burn from all apps be the almost the same with or without AdGuard (minus the mA AdGuard will use)? That wasn't what I saw in my real world usage. Other apps still had significant usage in addition to AdGuard. I don't think I should ignore an otherwise reliable graph of battery usage in place of the very app that appears to be using the most battery. And you may get X hours of screen on time, but that doesn't prove your point. SOT is the worst indication of a phones battery potential. I despise that "benchmark." It means nothing from one person to another. I only get 2-3 SOT but I have excellent battery life because I charge my phone 2-3 times per week. You don't have better battery life than me because you have double SOT. Different uses. Maybe AdGuard works best for people who use their phone constantly and bad for people like me that don't. Maybe it causes standby drain in my case. IDK.

I have purchased AdGuard on the IOS platform. I think its a good product and it achieves its goals. The developer is very responsive, which is awesome. I would support AdGuard again without a second thought. So far DNS66 works best for me on the Pixel 2. To each their own.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Chambm:
I have a rooted Pixel 2 XL. On my old phone with KitKat, Wifi Switcher worked great to switch between the 2 routers in my house, depending on which gives the better signal. The routers have different SSID names.

Trying to set this up on Oreo (after being disappointed that Android STILL doesn't have this feature built in), the apps do their thing like they're supposed to, but then (apparently) the operating system decides that no, that 30db stronger signal isn't really better, and switches back to the original. Actually it's switching to the last one that was manually selected. If I manually connect to the other one, it will keep switching back to that one.

I have turned off "Turn on Wifi automatically" and Wifi assistant and it still happens. I tried Wifi Switcher first and then SWIFI (not at the same time of course). Both exhibit the same behavior.

Can this behavior be disabled?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] treboR2Robert:
I have this exact same problem on a pixel 2 xl running android 9 pie.

I even found that with the switching app "SWIFI" uninstalled the pixel is doing its own switching but not very well.

If i move completely out of range of "access point 1" the pixel automatically connects to "access point 2", BUT as soon as i get a tiny tiny bit of signal back from "access point 1" it switches back to that even though "access point 2" has a MUCH better signal.

In wifi settings, preferences I have all settings turned OFF ( "Turn on Wi-Fi automatically" , "Connect to open networks" , "Open network notification" )

Anyone have any ideas ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] treboR2Robert:
Tried several different WiFi switching apps now and the same thing happens.

Sitting in a spot in my house ATM where signal from access point 1 is POOR but just about get a signal.

The signal from access point 2 is very STRONG here so my switching app changes to it.

5 seconds later the pixel changes back to access point 1 with POOR signal

Another 5 seconds and I get the notification from the switching app it's connected to access point 2.

Then.... Pixel changes bk to access point 1

So on and so on.

It's like they are both fighting each other lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ThatDutchGuy_:
My Note 9 showed basically the same behaviour.

I switched off "auto reconnect" (this is an individual setting for each WiFi network) and it seems to swifi seems to work again.

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] :
Same problem here.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] #Henkate:
You can check with Firmware Finder which is the latest update and you can download and update it. Keep in mind that it's most likely Themes app won't work when you update through Firmware Finder and you'll need root to fix it.

If I'm not mistaken, you can also change the oeminfo to a country which already published a new update, so you'll get the update faster.

Again, check if there's a new update on Firmware Finder. If there isn't, you better wait (although you might wait for nothing if Huawei won't update anymore :D).

Hi!

I am posting this message after an exhaustive search through quite a few detailed threads. Please tell me if anyone knows of Purple Dialer for Schap's ROMs as well as a purple Comm. Manager.

In earlier threads, I did find the Purple Video dialer but none for the regular dialer. I also came across a 12 button comm. manager but would appreciate if someone could direct me to ones that I could use with the 4.31 or simply, how to change the color on the current comm. manager and regular dialer.

It is just that I feel that if and when I feel the need to change to Schap's Purple, I should be able to do so without reminiscents of the already quite nice, Schap's black theme. It should either be All Black or All purple.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] jidanni:
It was a lazy autumn day that fateful afternoon when my Asus Zenfone

3 beeped and told me another occasional FOTA update was ready,

"Estimated time: 10 minutes". I pushed "accept."

Then the reboot ... loading ... reboot ... loading cycles began.

(I don't remember the exact words. It was a month ago and I only now

have regained my composure to write about it.)

Holding down the power button forever didn't help, and one cannot just

take out the battery anymore. It was my first cellphone mid-life

crisis.

Normally geographically astute me got on the wrong bus but at least in

the right direction, got off at this big river on the map that was

easy to follow no matter what mental state, and finally made it to the

Asus Royal Service Center or whatever it is called, in Taichung, TW.

I agreed they could wipe everything off my phone and indeed they fixed

it. Yes it was still under warranty and no I didn't "root" it.

Moral of story: from now on I will only check for updates when I am

nearby their service center and not expecting any important calls, etc.

(I see the version it happened with,

https://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=184831

was not recalled, meaning the problem only affected me.)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JugginJugs:
Alright, so I recently obtained a Samsung galaxy s3, ( Model# SCH-I535). The previous owner got mixed in with the wrong people who put a screen mirror application in the phone ans was able to hide it from the installed apps inside the device along with a few other spy apps. I got a hold of it and rooted it using kingoroot and proceeded to delete the bloatware and things I did not need, along with those spyware apps that was previously installed on the device. Then my guy was looking at What I did to the phone after stripping down the phone to the basics and he was checking out kingoroot and found the system apps and started deleting everything that he did not recognise, mind you he is not tech savvy, so therefore he didnt know 70% of what was on the phone. Then after he hit the home button and realized that he removed the home launcher, or moreless that he had a black screen with errors stating the home screen has stopped, he took the battery out and handed me the phone telling me that it cant be fixed so now can have it. I knew that I could flash a new rom on it ans recover it somehow, so I spliced a usb charger cord and wired the usb end of the charger to the terminals next to the battery compartment and ran 2 small wires to the battery terminal itself and was able to get power back to my phone as long as I remained plugged in to a usb power source. So now comes my problem and reasoning for this thread..

I do not have a working computer or Wi-Fi at my home other than my hotspot from my phone that I primarily use. And that s3 is stuck in a bootloop, or now more of a steady screen, stuck on the verizon wireless screen. But I do have several flash drives and external hard drives with the universal charger hookup that most androids currently use along with a usb connected that allows me to use my flash drives with my phone.

Is there a way that I can recover my s3 from this?

My goal is to get this phone back on working order and keep it rooted to strictly run Kali and keep a 500gb external hdd hooked up to it permanently to hold all of the toola that Kali provides.

Any help or suggestions with this would greatly be appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohhaxs:
Here is what I would suggest. You could do one of 2 things. When powering on your device, hold the power+home+volume up button to go to recovery. Wipe your data and reboot the phone. It will do a factory reset and you can root it again. Or if you hold the power+home+volume down button, you can go to odin mode. You can flash the original firmware back to the device. Keep in mind you gotta have the odin tool downloaded on your computer, the drivers, and the tar.md5 AP file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JugginJugs:
Yup, tried both. Don't have a working computer. And even wiped the case partition several times and update from cashw and reset countless times. But I was messing with it before work and got it to come on. But my keyboard is out. So while I have time today at work I'm gonna download a launcher and a keyboard ask and put my sd in it so I can actually get somewhere with it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JugginJugs:
Ok, so now I have the problem where I plug it in and it just vibrates and is a pain to get into recovery mode. But I can wipe my cashe now and factory reset and get in, still no keyboard or home launcher. But I do have the apks for them. But I only have about 5 minutes until it restarts itself. Its a tricky one. But I do beloeve that the s3 will be worth it with its vast variety of developer options and an seemingly unlimited variety of custom roms
