[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] JayGoesOnXDA:
Soft bricked

I have also gotten soft bricked but have gotten out the way. First, you need a Samsung galaxy tab a tar file firmware. You can install it from the internet.If you have ADB use this command adb reboot bootloader and then your Samsung galaxy tab a will be on the download mode and then flash the firmware with Odin and that's how I unsoftbricked my Samsung galaxy tab a. You still need to do the updates tho.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] jkoch3:
Hi guys,

I am in China and unable to setup my phone. I did a wipe last night trying to reset it and I am stuck where it asks for wifi or mobile access to setup the phone. I am unable to change the captive portal yet at this time so it believes it has no net access though it does. Any workaround to this? I have scoured this forum before posting, any help would be great! I am working to enable 4G access and phone calls at the same time. Think I have a solution. Just can't test it till I get past this step.

Edit: I also tried to tether to a phone with a VPN only to learn that is a big no can do as well.

Thanks
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] jkoch3:
Ok,

So after two full days of researching and trying various things, I found a way to hop out of the firewall. Thought I would share in case someone else runs into this issue.

1) You need a second phone, it needs to be rooted. I used an old Samsung Note 4, using CF to root it with Odin.

2) Once rooted, you need a vpn, I used ExpressVpn.

3) Also you need to get TetherVPN. It only works with a rooted phone.

4) Last, you need a sim card capable of a data connection.

5) Connect the Pixel to the shared connection from the rooted phone.

6) Activate VPN

7) Activate TetherVPN with su privileges.

8) By this time, the Pixel should have timed out trying to connect to the internet. Retry at this time, do not change networks. I tried 4 times in a row before the dread "x" from the wifi disappeared.

9) Quickly go through the steps, skipping all you can to get to the normal home screen. At this time you can reenable debug mode.

10) Once debug is enabled, using debugging send command: adb shell "settings put global captive_portal_https_url https://developers.google.cn/generate_204". This will keep the dread "x" out of your wifi signal with or without a vpn and allow normal wifi usage in the mainland.

As promised, I am working on a workaround for Telecom to enable 4G access and phone access. Currently, it looks to be used on 7.1.1 (NOF27B, Mar 2017) release of XL, thus the wipe and downgrade from 8.1.0 (OPM1.171019.011, Dec 2017). Once I updated to 8.1.0, I lost access to all data. Switching with *#*#4636#*#* did not restore 2G or 3G, however phone access and SMS was still working.

Once I run it through the paces and the translation to try. I will post an update. If anyone knows a better soultion using 8.1.0, I would love to hear it!

Upgraded to Magisk v15.0 and now when I run SafetyNet check I receive an API Error.

I am running Android 8.1 on Nexus 6P and have uninstalled Magisk using the Uninstaller and re-installed and still receive the same API error.

I've searched and read through quite a few threads and haven't come up with any fixes. Closest thing I found was a fix on the OnePlus forum.

Attached is a screenshot of the Magisk screen for reference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] Pooh042:
I ask for help! My Swift 2 Plus, after using the main camera, the phone starts to consume 10-15% per night, if you restart the phone after using the camera - 0-1% per night. WLD logs do not show any gaming processes, hence Greenify does not help.

Third-party camera applications also do not solve the problem :(

As a temporary solution - restart the phone after taking pictures.

How to solve this problem?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] dryhte:
Interesting, but I hardly ever use the camera and I also have some nights where my phone loses about 20% and others where my phone loses only a couple (say, 5%). It cannot be ONLY due to the camera. I haven't been able to find out what's up, but a reboot every now and then keeps me performing ok.

The battery drainage in idle mode is about 3 times higher than normal after I use the camera.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] Aknodx:
Hello!

I see that there is no recent activity in this thread, but I hope to get some help...

I have Wileyfox Swift 2 and Swift 2 Plus phones. Swift 2 Plus has the battery drain possibly related to its camera usage. I tried to flash and use it with stock Android Nougat and Oreo as well as with unofficial Lineage 15 ROMs. Unfortunately, the battery drain appears with all of these ROMs. The only one solution I found is to restart the phone...

Did you have any other solutions or additional information?

Interesting that Swift 2 doesn't have this issue.

Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] Palingenesis:
Why doesn't Google move all the interactive stuff to the bottom in the screen? Pull up for notifications, menu bottoms placed at the bottom. Settings tabs placed at the bottom. Basically, anything we can interact with/button press/gestures etc. be placed at the bottom. With phone trends going in the direction of larger screens with smaller bezels, it seems more practical for one handed use.

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] gexo173:
I recently wrote a question on the Z2 Plus' XDA forum about what ROM could possibly fit my needs: Scrolling Smoothness, Great battery life, Great Performance without overheating. I got like 1 or 2 answers I think. So I went on my own to research the best ROM I could possibly use as my Daily Driver. PureFusion had probably the second best performance in my eyes just behind ViperOS, but both of these ROMs were inconsistent and lacked battery efficiency. AEX had multiple bugs and crashes after using it for some time. PixelExperience is still in developpement so I won't give any pejorative remarks (BTW, its liquid smooth) After a good Sunday of searching, I finally came across the best ROM I have ever used. Enter Citrus CAF. If you know this ROM and have tested, you van leave by now as you probably know how great it is! Crazy fast AND consistent performance. Something I dreamed of for a long time. The sound seems to be better too. There is some level of customization although I dont really tweak my device. Overheating has not been a problem at all since installing this ROM although the majority of the ROMs for the ZUK Z2 Plus seem to do a great job at that level. Finally, the battery life. Oh the battery life! I thought it was going to be a pretty poor battery life since the ROM itself didn't get much updates. SOT bas gone through the roof. 9H(Yes 9H!) and still counting at 8% of SOT on moderate usage. 7h45 SOT on intense usage(Asphalt 8, a LOT of YouTube, a 45 minute call and some other stuff like Facebook, Twitter etc..) It has been a tremendous experience for me and I strongly hope that the battery life is gonna stay like that for a long time. Btw im 15 and im french si im sorry if you feel like i misspelled a word or something.

Link for the ROM : https://sourceforge.net/projects/citrus-caf/files/z2_plus/

The performance was still very good but I just like I needed to change and go over the Android 8 hump. ;) If you want a reliable ROM that is well protected, blazingly fast, I would recommend Jaguar even though I did not ever try that ROM.

Hello,

Is it possible to send mails from the "Outlook E-mail" account which is synchronized with my Outlook from Windows mobile phone ? When I want to answer to a mail, it is saved in outbox and then after next sync my Outlook sends it. so i always have to use my own configured mail account there. and answering on a mail from "Outlook E-mail" is not possible...
[General Topics] tsfnet:
Hi,

for doing this, you need to configure your mobile device to fetch e-mail directly from your isp's mailaccount via pop3 or imap. that's something completely different from active sync.

be aware, if you configure pop3 you need to leave a copy of the mail on the mailserver for pop3 downloads messages. in that case you'll get your mails only on one device (mobile OR pc/notebook). the solution would be imap.

so you need to configure your mobile device just like your outlook account on you pc/notebook (server, username, password).

Plus, you'll need to have a look on your data transfer. if you access you mailaccount directly, the mails charge your dataplan. so take care of size limitations while configuring your mobile device (only headers prob, and limit size of attachments unless you do not want to download huge mails).

Hope this helps,

No other way?

I have my outlook account, synchronised with all mail downloaded at the office and an imap account to retrieve emails on the go. As the imap account is cleared after office download, there is no archive inside. Both accounts are linked to the same email address.

I would like to be able to work on my mails (outlook account) and then send replies thanks to the imap account.

In office 2007 there is an option to enable you to select the account to be used for repling or sending emails. No such option in WM6?

Thanks

Ps. On top anyway to retrieve several emails accounts in one go?

pocket outlook is gimped without exchange... also, exchange 2003 has push enabled if it's up on service pack but lacks html email and some other instant sync capabilities that 2007 has...

I will check for an hosted exchange server.

As a temp solution I will try FlexMail 2007: It is possible to reply to sync mail with another account.
[General Topics] Toast Rack:
Would this fix your problem? Set Outlook on your PC to "Leave a copy of messages on the server", and have your Kaiser retrieve all your messages from the IMAP server directly, whether you're in the office or not. If the Kaiser is connected via ActiveSync, it will use your PC's internet connection anyway, so no extra network charges.

That way all your emails are in one account on the Kaiser, and you could even turn off Outlook mail syncing in ActiveSync and reply directly to emails from the IMAP account on the Kaiser.

If you can't find "Leave a copy of messages on the server" in Windows Outlook, on my version (Outlook 2003) it's under Tools/Email Accounts/View or Change/Change/More Settings/Advanced (well hidden).

Can't confirm this option is there for IMAP - I use POP3 myself.
[General Topics] Zenoran:
I haven't done too much looking at exchange hosting solutions but I think $10/month is the minimum you'll find... mail2web appears to have good hosting solutions.. you can try out their free service but it requries you to use their email address unless you upgrade to the $10/month plan.
