[LG V20 Questions & Answers] gogozombiii:
Well, it happened... I was browsing XDA on my beautiful V20 when suddenly I'm looking a the boot logo.. and then a black screen. I tried to turn it on a million and one times, various battery pulls, plugging into every PC in the house (and it wasn't detected... at all). The only thing it would do is vibrate one time after holding the power button. I was at a loss.. If my computer couldn't recognize it, I couldn't fix it.

Thankfully, it was still under manufacturer warranty. I sent it in holding my breath, hoping they wouldn't be able to tell that I had Dirty Santa'd the hell out of the bootloader. As luck would have it, not even 24 hours later I received an email saying my phone had been repaired. And what did they do to fix my V20?

... they replaced the flash memory.

LG's track record with memory hasn't been the greatest the past couple of years, so I'm wondering if the memory bug is going to happen to us.

FYI: My V20 was a US Cellular US996 running WETA ROM with barely any tweaks other than what came with the ROM.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
I have 2 v20s that I have bricked 3 times for various reasons. When I sent them off for repair, LG replaced the NAND twice, and the entire logic board once.

At the time I thought maybe it was just easier for them to replace the NAND than to re-flash it, but I think you may be on to something. Maybe they know that the NAND they used is flaky, so they don't even try and flash it.

I had created a private space in Honor 8 pro, and had set a private space PIN and a finger print. And i was using only my finger print for a while to open private space.

Now i forgot private space PIN and as my device restarted its forcing me to enter PIN and not accepting my fingerprint.

is there any way to use rooting (root access) and disable this feature of "Require PIN on restart" feature? so that i can use my fingerprint to login.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] RSalad:
Hello! Long (LONG!) time lurker. Decided to finally make an account today to ask you guys some questions...

My OnePlus 5T will be arriving today, and I plan to immediately flash FreedomOS - and wish to go as Google-less as possible.

A few years ago I heard about a way for the YouTube app to function without the Google Play Services. Is this still possible? I want to go completely without GApps, etc.

So far my plan(s) for application replacements are as follows:

1. Google Maps -> HERE WeGo

2. Google Drive -> Dropbox

3. Google PlayStore -> Use raw APKs downloaded from the internet + Aptoide + F-Droid

4. Google Calendar -> Etar or DigiCal

5. Google Photos -> QuickPic

6. SMS -> Signal

Anything I'm missing?

With that being said- Is there really any need for me to download/flash any GApps, whatsoever?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] IonutP:
What are the benefits on going without gapps?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] RSalad:

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] funnoam:
I just edited my message to give you some advices on some apps, but there's also a debate over buying an Android and in the same time do not want to support Google...

Do whatever you feel :angel:

Some apps are really broken when you don't have Play Services. Except crashes and missing features.

Also if you watch YouTube in browser (I suppose you won't use chrome then) you'll be limited to 480p.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] RSalad:
I'm aware that some apps will not function correctly. I can work around that. I'm not concerned about that.

As far as the YouTube app hack is concerned, it is not a part of a browser. It is a hacked version of the YouTube app. Completely different, and is fully functional.

I have several years of experience developing/modding android, and I'm sure I will do just fine without GApps.

I am simply here asking about the old YouTube app hack method, and seeing if I am forgetting any baser level GApp.

Thanks so much for your... help...
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] funnoam:
I use iYTBP for my YouTube app as it features a black design, no ads and background listening. Not sure if it will work without Play Services but you can still try it.

Your welcome for my ...help...

Less condescension can work too.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Dariusdd:
You can use microG to spoof the Google services (at least in YouTube's case) and use iYTBP (google it, read the xda post and download from their website). Otherwise you could try NewPipe.

You don't need another SMS app, the phone comes with one from OnePlus by default.

It also has a gallery application from OnePlus, so you should avoid QuickPic (as it is pretty much adware).

You could also try to look for a HydrogenOS image on the chinese OnePlus website, but I'm not sure if any have been posted. That way you won't even need to get rid of the Google apps, as there are none.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] RSalad:
Oh wow is QuickPic really that bad? I've never tried it, but reading all about it, it seemed nice.

That's a shame.

Thanks for the notice about NewPipe by the way, I totally forgot about that!
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] vagkoun83:
Newpipe is a great replacement from YouTube and you can download videos/music

[Android Head-Units] cylwestR:
Hello

I have a problem with my head unit MTCD_MX_V2.40_1.

Android 5.1.1, ROM Hal9k_Mod_1.2_MTCD_RK3188_1024x600_800х480_eng

Car - Citroen C-Elysee.

For few months the radio worked good in 100%.

Currently device reset radio stations when I left car for night.

If left car for 4-5 hours radio stations are still saved.

I think that wire connection is ok because date and time is not reseting, and like I wrote - for few months all was ok.

Currently power wire is connected directly to battery.

Seller say that device dont have any internal battery.

So, what can be a reason of erasing radio stations?

Hey guys what I wanted to know is that is it safe to root my device which is a nexus 5x.

Because the last time I rooted my Galaxy S3 things were bad after a month. I started to get these apps on the device installed automatically that were vulgar and I also had to deal with a few other problems. Even after l formatted the device , things did not change.

So what do you guys recommend, should I root or not and is it safe to root.

Any help will be appreciated thanks.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] akmlfhm:
Greetings,im Akmal and today I will be sharing some helpful solution to unbrick your Oppo Find 7/7A.
​

Short Story(myb a lil bit longer)¬

So my find 7A got soft bricked when I install custom rom without using TWRP(pretty stupid to do so)

After rebooting my phone keeps on booting to fastboot mode and no matter it happen the same if i press vol up/vol down and power button.

At this stage I knew my phone is soft bricked.So I found the solution to it through some old posts which you have to extract the ColorOS blablabla and adb thingy(I dont wanna go through it here)

But I dont realised that i forget to flash a file name "TZ.MBN"

Now that my phone wont ever boot or even to fastboot which resulted to hard brick.

No recovery screen.

No Charging status screen

No Fastboot screen

No sign of vibrating when i push the power button

-So here is the solution-

Disclaimer-I am not responsible for what ever happen to your device after this-

-there are already some other posts like this but I make this post to let you know that its still working.

1a)First,download the OPPO UNBRICK TOOL HERE

bit.ly/OPPOUNBRICK

1b)goto Google and search for Qualcomm qd loader.download,install and restart your pc.

2)After restarting,Extract the file from OPPO UNBRICK TOOL and open "Msm8974DownloadTool.exe"

3)as you may have notice,its chinese language or some aliens language but dont worry it isn't corrupted,just follow through↓

4)disconnect your device battery,then open the software and press start,after that connect the phone to your pc/laptop (WITHOUT BATTERY) and hold volume up button

5)please wait patiently as it is reflashing stock rom to your device.

6)as you may have noticed maybe your device disconnected but DONT GET PANICKED! press again the power button until its downloading again on the software.

7)If it has done downloading,some row should be in a Green colour.

8)disconnect your cable and try turning on your device again.

That's it!Any comment or curiosity I will try helping you through the comment section but I not guaranteed everything I can answer :D

P/S:if your device is softbricked,you just should disconnect your battery,and then open the software and press start,then connect the phone to your pc/laptop (WITHOUT BATTERY) and hold volume up button.

If your device is hard bricked(like mine)only holding the power button could work as well

*UPDATE* 24/2/2019

-If you guys still have any concerns kindly contact me through twitter (0728mal)

*UPDATE* 4/7/2020

-yes it is still working guys,no worries kayy

-no you don't need internet for it to work,the software already has all the files needed to flash the device,which is why the file is pretty big.

best regards,

Akmal

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] babyenchantress:
hi im having this problem as well. my find 7a is hard bricked after i flash coloros v2.1.5i without twrp. the problem is, my computer does not detect my phone at all even after i hard reset and hold power button for 30 seconds. i dont think the battery is drained because before this happened, my phones battery was about 90% and i try recharging the phone for 30 minutes, and nothing happened. so the debrick tool cannot be used. can you suggest anything for my problem?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Shadician:

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] akmlfhm:
yeah you can try WINE also but i never have any experience with mac os before so i cant guarantee that it will work considering that you're configuring your drivers,which can go wrong if not done correctly :)

So I have bricked my phone (X9006) while trying to install TWRP recovery. It is stuck on logo and adb/ fastboot does not recognise it anymore. I have tried the above-mentioned tool, but this program also does not do anything for a long time. Am I missing something in applying this solution?

Edit: I am an Windows 10 and I might not have the Qualcomm drivers installed. I don't know how to install :(
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] akmlfhm:
Hello there.have you tried downloading the "Qualcomm"

is it necessary to remove the battery? I don't have tools for opening my phone and it's battery is non-removable :(
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] gcs88:
Perhaps an important step is missing. The Qualcomm qd loader driver is may not signed. I had to boot into the extended start menu on Windows 10 and disable the driver signature check - point 7 - and could now successfully debrick my find7.

G935V to G935U

I would like to know if this can be done on my Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge G935V (Android 8.0) except

I want to convert it to the G935U to be more compatible with AT&T.

I read somewhere the hardware is the same for all U.S. versions of the S7 Edge, regardless of Verizon, AT&T, etc.

I have the phone working on Straight Talk using their AT&T sim.

Changed it from CDMA to GSM and added the APN info for Straight Talk.

The phone works but is missing LTE band 17, the one used in my area.

It uses another tower but the signal is really weak. Band 17 is really popular

LTE and in my area and the phone is sort of crippled without it.

I have read the G935U firmware for AT&T solves that problem. I am

assuming the phone would be unlocked too after flashing.

The phone currently is unlocked on the GSM side.

I have downloaded ODIN, Samsung S7 Edge drivers, and the G935U for AT&T w/ Android 8.0

Any tips or pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks, Ken

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtreiber:
Hi there,

I recently updated my Pixel C to Android 8.1 via ADB with the OTA Image and I'm facing a huge battery drain on wi-fi. I already wiped the Cache via recovery, without any effect.

What I'm missing is the Option to Keep Wi-Fi activated only when charged ("Keep WiFi on in Standby")? Did Google change something here?

Any suggestions?

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim.malone:
I just started experiencing the same thing. Oddly, it will be fine when I first take it off the charger. The drain will be insignificant for many hours. Then, I use it for a while and put it back to sleep. After that it will drain like 60% over 8 hours. I can't figure it out. GSAM doesn't show any apps keeping the tablet awake. It also shows that the tablet was in deep doze the entire time it was draining. Weird.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim.malone:
Quick question. Do you have the official keyboard accessory? Just a hunch here, but I decided to not have the keyboard attached to my tablet for the last day or so, and so far, no battery drain. I wonder if the tablet just isn't cutting off the flow of power.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abou27:
I've been experiencing the same battery drain, initially intermittent but now more regular, and also suspected the keyboard. At first it only seemed to happen if I had the keyboard attached for use, i.e. tablet 'up', but now it's doing it with the keyboard shut against the tablet too.

Will try leaving the keyboard completely unattached and see how I get on. Really annoying as the battery life has always been so good and now I've got no idea whether I'll be able to use the tablet when I pick it up!

Hi,

I've tried a lot of things now, but I'am failing at editing a file in android /sys folder. I want to change a variable for battery charging in /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_tune_float_voltage. In a terminal I've performed following

1|herolte:/sys/class/power_supply/battery # cat batt_tune_float_voltage
43500
herolte:/sys/class/power_supply/battery # chmod 777 batt_tune_float_voltage
herolte:/sys/class/power_supply/battery # echo 42000 > batt_tune_float_voltage
1|herolte:/sys/class/power_supply/battery # cat batt_tune_float_voltage
43500

I even cannot mount battery_tune_float_voltage

1|herolte:/sys/class/power_supply/battery # mount -o rw,remount /sys
herolte:/sys/class/power_supply/battery # mount -o rw,remount batt_tune_float_voltage
mount: 'batt_tune_float_voltage' not in /proc/mounts

Does anyone know what the problem here is?! I would be really glad if someone could explain me if i've missed something or why this does not work.

Anyway: As I'am understanding so far, the App Battery Charge Limit here on xda uses following code for editing file /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_slate_mode

Code Link

val switchCommands = arrayOf("mount -o rw,remount $file", "echo \"$newState\" > $file")

if (alwaysWrite) {
suShell.addCommand(switchCommands)
} else {
suShell.addCommand("cat $file", 0) { _, _, output ->
if (output[0] != newState) {
setChangePending()

}
}
}

[Moto X4 Accessories] steve9271:
Are there any aftermarket chargers that will work like the oem Motorola Turbopower chargers?
[Moto X4 Accessories] crazyates:
Pretty much any USB-C charger will work. I've used an old USB power brick with a USB-B -> USB-C cable, I've used my Acer R13's USB-C 45W power brick, and I've used my Choetech 55W 6-port charging station with a USB-C -> USB-C cable. They all work.

If you're looking for something that works with the X4's Turbopower, that's basically just Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 under a different name. My charging station is QC 3.0, which works with QC 2.0 devices, which works with this Moto X4. It charges quite fast.

[Moto X4 Accessories] TheBassDude:
Think our X4 needs QC3.0 for turbo charging. I have several QC2.0 chargers left over from my last phone and they do not charge this device at full speed. Also I'm pretty sure the original Motorola charger that came with it is QC3.0 according to what I've seen. But I've just ordered my first after-market charger (a RAVPower car charger, model VC007003) and can report back when it arrives later this week.
