[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTooPhone:
Today I noticed all my saved/paired Bluetooth devices were no longer listed. I needed to re-add all connections and re add the trusted ones. Just curious if anyone has a idea what may have happened.

Update: Searching this subject it seems to be a fairly common issue with updates. Google recently updated the Now Launcher, Google, Play Service, and System WebView. I will assume one of these updates caused the issue.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTooPhone:
So today I simply rebooted my phone and once again all my saved Bluetooth devices were no longer listed after reboot. Why does this happen? Is there a way to safe your Bluetooth devices so when this happens again all of them can be easily restored. Some method other than saving the entire ROM?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyns1:
Hello,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 with a broken (black) screen) and I tried this tool but Droid@Screen didn't recognize the phone. So USB Debugging Mode must be off... Well I tried to turn it on following this guide. I downloaded G900F firmware (1.5GB) , ADB Automator and Odin.. I created the ADB firmware file (13MB) from the original firmware and I started Odin. I removed the battery of the phone to turn it off and I started it again in Download Mode. Then I connected it the phone to the PC and with Odin I flashed successfully the phone . Then I tried again the first tool but the result was the same.

Now when I connect the phone to the PC, I see it as a Device... it has the same name as before but there are no files inside...

I wanted to recover my contacts but now I lost everything I had on this device...

Could you please advice me what to do ? I really need my contacts back
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lecorbusier:
After a recovery in Download Mode there are no files to recover anymore. Except on sd card, which you could simply insert elsewhere. This is the perfect procedure before sale, but the worst to recover personal data.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sven Garley:
I followed a Youtube vid that got another S5 that wasn't broken and plugged the screen from that phone into the board that had the damaged screen. This was all done without having to physically remove the screens from the devices- just temporarily swapped the plugs/sockets with the phones side by side. When all my data was done transferring to my PC, I put things back where they should have been and that was that.

I have a lumia 1020 with the last CU build, using the "blink" app sequence I'm left with a damaged photo that I can not eliminate, does anyone know how to remove it from mass storage or another way? it's very annoying and I do not want to restart the phone

https://ibb.co/hv22kG
[Windows 10 Mobile] dxdy:
you tried with any file explorer (total commander, Pocket File manager for example)?

or via USB from PC?
[Windows 10 Mobile] Juanz1986:
yes, the file does not appear, it must be in some system folder in hidden
[Windows 10 Mobile] marianodelfino:
If that's your guess, just enable to see hidden files and search for it inside your phone once you connect to pc.
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
If the idea from xxJMarian does not help you reveal where that corrupted file is, then I am wondering if the Photos app itself has a cache of it remaining some place. Do we know where the post processing takes place on the Lumia/Windows camera or photo app? Could take a look there.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] gkfc007:
Hi,

I'm facing a strange Black Screen Problem even after booting of the phone successfully every time. I can see the lock screen every time for like 2-3 seconds then suddenly entering to black screen automatically if I try to unlock or don't attempt to do so. The phone is able to ring if I try to make a call from other no. but won't able to pick up because there is no option to answer or decline the call. If I hit the power button all power menu buttons are coming like to reboot, power off , airplane mode etc but some how I'm not able to access the phone from inside.

Please note that last time when the phone was running fine I saw one error like android.system.mui has stopped working and everything was crashing so I had to reboot my phone and ultimately landed into this issue. Also my internal storage was like 600-500 MB free that time.

I'm on miui 9 official for Redmi Note 4 ( 32GB version SD 625).

I'm a new member of XDA and I haven't read all the rules yet, so I apologies if I do any mistake please correct me if I'm wrong as this my first post in XDA. I respect all the community guidelines.

Please provide the working solution for this.

A few quick questions as follows

- Do I have to install TWRP recovery for the same to clear cache which i think it may resolve the issue just removing the cache?

- I'm not sure about Miui recovery 3.0 clear data option to clear cache as i don't really want to erase my all important documents, photos, videos, notes in my phone.

- How can I recover my data if I had to reset my device ?

Please guide me for the above issue.

I really appreciate all your concerns.

Thanks & Regards,

Gaurav Kumar

Do you have a unlocked bootloader? If you don't then possibly resetting device from recovery is the only thing.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] amtrips2018:
I updated my Mi Note 4 system software yesterday to MIUI 9.6 (me thinks), but it is having booting issues. I struggled 2 hours last night to get it started but in the morning I noticed that the fingertip sensor isnt working. I cleared cache, added new finger print, still the problem persisted and then I read on the forum to power off and restart the phone. I clicked on power off and since then my phone is not rebooting. The screen in black, I can hear phone calls, msg notifications. I have tried pressing the power button for 40 seconds (as per the MI Support Tech's advice), followed by using the fastboot (power+volume down) and nothing happened, I tried the recovery mode (power + volume up). Still nothing is showing. The Mi logo and android restart option isn't showing only. The phone is black. I can see navigation light and the blue light blinking on the top left when msg/notification comes. I haven't taken a back up since many many months. I don't want to lose my data. Please help.

Solution for mi black screen.

Hello friends,

I think the issue in sensors, because when i bump my mobile on my hand the screen wake up suddenly but some time screen in hang position but when i try it one or more time its working normally .
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] timekiller_CZ:
Same issue

Hi, I recently updated to the 9.6.2.0 in my Mi note 4 and after reboot it started to go off and on (only the backlight (touch layer worked)). I rebooted several times and get it going. after few minutes went black again and after reboot the fingerprint sensor stopped working (HW diagnostics saying error if you try to test it) and then the battery status started act weir. If i plug phone to charger, no matter how many % i ve got it charge only 1% (after hour or so)and if i unplug it lose 5% in 5 seconds and stays there for amount of time till the battery reach the same percentage as the indication is sayin.

TBH pretty weird and pretty annoying.

And yes it is probably sensor ( or a driver? ) because turning phone up-side down or covering the proximity sensor osometimes help.

I dont want to wipe my phone until it is necessary.

Is it because of update?

Thank you

Black Screen

I have tried that but it still won't work ;-;
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Forger246:
The issue is quite often in several versions. The screen is not dead and not really black. Watch it in darkness and put a mobile phone flashlight right onto the screen. You can see the normal functions.

Solution is as far as I know the reset and flash of new roms. But mine worked fine till I updated to Miui 10. So there is nothing newer. What to do?

Hi all. I have just bought an XDA IIi. It works fine, except for the sound!! With the volume up to max, I can barely hear anything. I cant hear anything when I use the phone unless I turn on the load speaker, and even then, I can only hear a person talking, I cant actually hear what is being said.

Could this be a software problem? I un network locked my phone using xdadev_all_unlock.

Any clues will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I've seen several threads which mention that sound on XDA2i phone has been lost after unlocking phone. Speaker still works when playing music (MP3 etc.) but cannot use microphone/speaker when trying to make calls.

Re-flashing doesn't solve it either. Sadly, no-one seems to have found a fix.:(

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Modify_inc:
My phone was working fine when I went to bed last night. I laid it on my night stand and this morning I noticed I couldn't get the screen to light up. The blue LED was blinking like I had messages. The Menu and Back buttons light up when I press them, and I can even hear when someone is calling me, but because the screen will not light up, I can't answer. The phone screen is in near perfect condition, not a scratch or crack on it and I also have a cheap protective screen over it.

Hoping it was just a glitch, I removed the battery and held the power button for about 45 seconds and powered it back on. Same thing, black screen during the entire boot process, no logos or anything. I also tried to boot it in safe mode with same results. There is only one time that the screen shows any signs of life and it only happens when I first power it on. In the top left corner for a split second, where the usual "Bootloader is unlocked" message appears, it displays a small rectangle of colored artifacts inside that small message area.

I assume the LCD went out, but I'm concerned it could also be related to the GPU or other hardware, and so don't want to spend a lot of money buying a LCD if it's something else. I can still connect it to the PC, so I'm hoping someone knows how I can test the hardware from the PC, or at least recommend something. Right now the phone is ringing and I have no idea who it is...this sucks!

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sindawe:
Hey Guys,

A few weeks ago (not exactly sure of the time) I started getting a lot of prompts for Google Chrome and Play Services using a lot of power. It's the white box that pops up on screen, lists the apps, and gives the options to check again in a week or fix now. I keep hitting fix now, and after a couple days, sometimes later that day, I get the same alert. If I pull down the system bar, it's the Device Maintenance panel and I can tap on fix from there.

I've uninstalled play services patches, and reinstalled. I've uninstalled chrome and reinstalled, but that doesn't seem to have done anything. I had a prompt to install the new Tmo patch (12/10/2017 ish) which I installed hoping that might fix the problems, but it didn't.

Just wondering if anyone on Tmo with the S8+ has recently had any apps starting to go crazy and constantly being bombarded with "device fix" popups. Would booting to recovery and wiping cache help?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] motoridersd:
I've had the phone for over a month now, and I've been noticing some weird issues with phone calls across different versions.

I have two issues at the moment:

A call is always starting with the speakerphone on. Even when the speakerphone button indicates it is off. Turning speakerphone "on" and off again will send the audio to the earphone piece.

Conference calling does not work. I get a message about the conferencing failing.

I don't use conferencing a lot, but I was surprised to find such a basic feature broken. This happened on both 8.1 DP2 and 8.1 final. 8.1 DP2 did not have the issue with the speakerphone being on when placing a call.

I actually did a full wipe of the phone after being on DP2 (by removing the phone from the beta program) and then sideloaded the 8.1 update from 8.0 .

This on top of ALL calls coming up as 'HD' when calling non-Tmobile numbers.

Maybe I should be running a T-Mobile specific version of software. This is a Verizon Pixel 2 XL.

Anyone else have issues?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] murphyjasonc:
I'm on Project Fi and the few times I've used conference calls it has worked. I haven't paid attention to which network I was using at the time though. I tried it just now while I'm connected to US Cellular and it worked. I can try it on T-Mobile when I get home. Don't have service with them here at work. I had the speakerphone issue that you described happen once. I just wrote it off as a fluke. I was on DP2 at the time. I've been on 8.1 stable for about 24 hours now and haven't had any issues with it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] motoridersd:
Is your Pixel a Verizon version?

I rebooted my phone and the Speakerphone issue went away. So it might be a bug that gets triggered by something but cleared with a reboot.

The conferencing does not work after rebooting, unfortunately.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] murphyjasonc:
I have the Google Version.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] motoridersd:
Thanks. I ended up with a Verizon version, because I wanted the Panda sooner than when Google would ship :P

Most likely, my issue is related to this, but it shouldn't be. Even though it's a Verizon version, it has never been used on Verizon and has been factory reset several times.

A Phone app update was just installed, but no changes to my issues.

Do you get the HD icon on all your calls?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] murphyjasonc:
The HD icon is a feature. It only means that you are using VOLTE. This will be enabled when you and whoever you call are both using it regardless if they are on The Mobile or not. Sprint and US Cellular doesn't support this but when I'm on T Mobile it is enabled for me also.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] motoridersd:
This is not the way things worked on any of my other phones. HD is supposed to indicate the use of the wideband codec in a phone call. Usually this only happens between two T-Mobile customers (other carriers that support this and offer the feature to the subscriber will do the same), and is not restricted to VoLTE in all implementations. Calls to land lines or 800 numbers have never been marked as HD on phones I've used on T-Mobile over the past 8 years.

If you are seeing the HD icon on all your calls when on T-Mobile, but not the other carriers, then the 2 XL is not labeling calls properly. This sounds like a hardware/firmware bug (most likely radio firmware) since my previous Pixel XL behaved properly.

In the end, it's cosmetic, because when I call other T-Mobile users with HD Capable phones, I can tell the call is using wideband vs the more compressed codec.
