Ah I see I missed the problem with registering on the network

Is the phone locked to a certain network?

Which carrier is your SIM from?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Kiki.G:
Refurbishment check - original but knox tripped

Phone is unlocked, tried Three network and EIR sim cards, same thing
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Possible it has been reported stolen, or contract was not paid in full and has been IMEI blocked

But this is now interesting about FD dualSIM and not registering on network... could be something more to it

Looks like the same SIM tray for Dual and Single, just use the MicroSD slot for the other SIM
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Kiki.G:
Sim tray is different physically for F and FD, also printed on it SIM, SD or SIM/SD for FD

Not sure for IMEI, could be but now just found this thread about rooting, knox and registering SIMs:

https://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/help/galaxy-s7-edge-registering-network-means-t3563351

That still doesnt give answers about F and FD mix
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Check if you still have a valid IMEI number by dialing *#06#

If not, you may have a lost or corrupted EFS partition, which contains the radios and the IMEI
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Kiki.G:
yeah, IMEI is ok.

checked online and its "clean"
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Does the fingerprint scanner on the home button work?

Demo units have no modem / fingerprint reader and can be flashed to G930F firmware

Just about out of ideas really other than trying a SIM for each carrier in the UK in case it is locked to a certain network
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Kiki.G:
Fingerprint is OK

Since last week I was noticing bubble /color peeling off from inside near left top on my screen, I ignored in the beginning, I had tempered glass installed that's why I didn't notice much , but I removed tempered glass to see what happened and it seems weird. Attaching images please tell me if anyone can figure out why this happened and if I need to worry for display.

* it's from inside, not outside.

Since most of the themers are leaving HTC, I thought it would be wise to create a Substratum forum for to share Ideas themes since most of it in Oreo is themable under substratum,

I am currently using Tilt theme from HTC Themes in combination of Substratum AOSPUI dark theme sharing some scrennshots

Would be great if htc dialer can be substratum themed as well.

[HTC U11  Themes, Apps, and Mods] DJ Mohammad KHAN:
substratum is good theme engin...but have many background service that keep in memory and drain battery life....

i think htc theme is really enough....no any other brand have milion of theme free !!!

substratum good for a phone like pixel or onePlus or..... they are have't theme engine

Battery was something I wondered about too. Using Substratum w Swift Dark...no battery hit at all.
[HTC U11  Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrrflagg:
The best thing about substratum is you get rid of the god awful white settings, HTC themes don't do that well none I found did.

The aospUI is the one I use myself too, it came up as a freebie not sure if it still is

Guys i have Problem with andromeda everytime i try to run supstratum it says andromeda client should be connect to your Desktop how to fix it??
[HTC U11  Themes, Apps, and Mods] JEANRIVERA:
Probably most of us go the root way for substratum that is the reason why probably no body hasn't answer your question, andromeda is only for a non rooted device or non rooted implementation of substratum

With Andromeda, you need to run one of the scripts from the OP of this thread on your desktop any time you want to modify the Substratum theme on your phone

https://xdaforums.com/apps/substratum/andromeda-desktop-clients-release-notes-t3668682

OR if you are rooted and still running Andromeda,

you can run the script from this thread in a terminal emulator on your phone, which is kinda nice

Only possibility to theme HTC dialer is using HTC theme engine. You could e.g. build your own dark HTC theme and combine it with a Substratum theme, to obtain dark dialer and dark statusbar as well as settings menu.

Hi guys.

Which of the dark substratum themes do you like the most?

I personally adore Swift Black because of its blackness and ability to "orangizise" the colors :).

Swift Black here too.

For the life of me I cannot get a theme to apply to the quick settings pull down in LeeDroid 5.0 (Oreo). I've tried several, including AOSPUI and Swift.

Either the whole panel goes black or out doesn't change at all. Any ideas?
[HTC U11  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bud Horn:
Just after setting the black theme (I use Swift Black) the quick settings pulldown are completely black and impossible to read ... but after a reboot all is good - so I suggest that you do your settings in substratum and reboot and all should be fine - that works for me :)

\Bud

---------- Post added at 16:24 ---------- Previous post was at 16:21 ----------

Hi there.

After implementing the theme in substratum my quick settings are completely black as well. I use Swift Black theme. I found out that a reboot does the trick - at least for me. So I suggest you do your theming and then a reboot and se how it goes ... it worked for me, as I said :).

I am also having the same problem as above. My quicksettings/notifications do not change at all, but everything else is themed. I'm using swift dark with latest Leedroid, do you guys happen to have an idea why this is happening?

I also have rebooted many times.
[HTC U11  Themes, Apps, and Mods] CharliesTheMan:
With pitch black or other themes, there's a dark notifications or light notification settings, I've had similar problems, and changing that setting was the solution, but I had to kind of trial error because it didn't make sense why they behaved that way, I never found the pattern.
[HTC U11  Themes, Apps, and Mods] ryanyz10:
I switched to Flux and it seems to work if I select OxygenOS, if it works for anyone else. My quick settings icons also change.
[HTC U11  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pat123:
Does it also change the status bar icons?
[HTC U11  Themes, Apps, and Mods] ryanyz10:
I don't believe anything can change status bar icons right now.
[HTC U11  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pat123:
Unless you have Xposed. A new break through has been achieved just a few days back. FSBI can now tweak status bar icons on Oreo if you are running Xposed.

Hello, I buyed my Mate 9 after having a really Bad experience with the Essential Phone. I have no regrets getting this phone but I want root on it.

I have read some threads but all I can find is Oreo related ones.

I would love to have root on my phone, if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be awesome.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] atrix_noob:
Thanks mate! I have read everything on that thread! Very helpful guide.

So if I just want root on my phone ( No custom roms or anything) the steps I need is

1. Unlock Bootloader

2. Flash twrp using ADB

3. Flash SuperSu.zip

That's it? I have seen on another thread that I need some Data.zip and other things before flashing it but since the thread you pointed doesn't mention it I belive is not necessary am I correct?

Sorry for the questions mate, I am super new to this phone, I don't want to mess up.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
That thread is a little outdated.

Unlock dev options in settings.

Open dev options and enable OEM unlock. (FRP Unlock in fastboot)

Unlock bootloader

Flash either Magisk v15.2 (get from official Magisk thread https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589) or SuperSU 2.82 SR5 (https://mega.nz/#!ZTBQXZra!JHUocH9oMEApULxfLYm9VO5UPhjHNMGLymkXDY_ihhI)

If you want to decrypt (Format data in twrp) you have to flash official SuperSU 2.82 SR5 or Magisk v14. Its not available in later Magisk builds as it breaks support for other devices.

You can edit boot image manually and remove fileencryptioninline.

And TWRP: https://mega.nz/#!9aoASShT!KJkpC_Ll8HZowWF1_fU0olWiHHaeSZuYE3xc3au8EIg (it's a special version I made that enables flashing from /cache and Copy Log button copies to external SD instead of internal. Just make sure you flash this or the twrp from the twrp thread in development)

Hw data zip and public data is only needed when you decrypt. That's because Huawei thought it was a good idea to place theme, wallpaper and update support in /data.

When you decrypt you must format the /data partition, which erases all user data including the hw_init folder. And when that folder is removed you can't set themes or wallpapers and the System Update app disappears. To get them back you need to flash those 2 zips.

The benefit of decrypting is that you can back up the data partition in TWRP. If you use Titanium backup or some other app its not necessary to decrypt.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] atrix_noob:
Wow thanks man!

Let me check if I got this right.

I am going to flash Magisk 15.2 ( Downloaded it right now ).

1. I unlock my bootloader from Huawei official page.

2. I Flash twrp-3.0.2-2-hi3660.img using ADB commands.

3. Now that I have TRWP I go and flash Magisk 15.2

Is that right? And that's it? Do I need to decrypt data or is that only needed when I want a factory reset?

Another question is, after I flash Magisk 15.2 ant it's uo and running can I revert back to stock recovery and still have root available?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] atrix_noob:
Ok thanks for the heads up there, so if I only want root on my phone I dont need to decrypt my data partition and go ahead and flash the supersu.zip or magisk.zip and all done right?

I want to root my phone to he able to use the LTE Discovery app since it has always helped me in my area and I want Wifi Tether app ( needs a rooted phone) since I use my hotspot for my computer.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
1. Go to settings - about and tap Build number a few times to unlock Developer options. Go back one step and tap Developer options. Enable OEM Unlock.

2. Request bootloader unlock code (login with your Huawei id)

If you don't have a Huawei id, add it as an account in your phone.

You might have to wait for 14 days after it's added to your phone before you can get code. I could probably unlock it for you if you want to send me your imei, imei2 (if available) and meid (imei, imei2 and meid is available in Settings - About), product id and serial number which can be acquired by typing/pasting *#*#1357946#*#* into dialer. Or there are paid services that does it too.

(send in pm if you need to send)

3. Flash twrp 3.1.1 from either https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-huawei-mate-9-t3515617 or https://mega.nz/#!9aoASShT!KJkpC_Ll8HZowWF1_fU0olWiHHaeSZuYE3xc3au8EIg

4. Flash magisk.

Decrypt is just if you want to backup /data in twrp, no other reason.

And yes, you can flash back stock recovery.

Download your stock firmware from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ (search for MHA-L29C567B190)

If you just need to extract recovery or boot select a OTA-MF as they're smaller in size (500mb compared to 2gb+ for full firmware).

Download Huawei Update Extractor and extract.

Extract update.app from the firmware zip.

Open Huawei Update Extractor. Click on the '...' button and open the firmware update.app.

Right click on Recovery and click on extract selected.

Now put phone in fastboot and flash recovery.img (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img).

Now you have stock recovery.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] atrix_noob:
Awesome!!! All questions have been answered!

And yes, I if you can I could give you the info via PM to get the code so I can unlock Bootloader. When I get home I'll download everything mentioned! I'll message you the info.

Talking about the feature that S8 has.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/7jdcno/psa_with_the_latest_us_carrier_updates_your_phone/

This saids the S8 will change the firmware/carrier on your phone based on the Sim thats in the phone. Does the December 1 patch support this yet? Does anyone know if this is coming soon? If this works then you wont have to flash to different firmwares and potentially lose all your data when switching carriers. Since I'm straight talk i can use either Tmo/ATT/VZW networks easily through sim change.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] LXative:
Hey guys, one of my co-workers has a S8 (Cricket). He just noticed that under his settings in the battery section, there is no toggle to enable Fast Wireless Charging under the Advanced options.

I've been searching here as well as in Google for any answers. I've seen a thread or two randomly on other forums, one was a VZW customer who apparently found from their customer service, that there was a known issue on some devices and the fast wireless charging option was removed. Not sure if this was in a series of production, maybe earlier production devices? That specific thread was from the beginning of Dec 2017.

I've really found no concrete answers, and actually don't get anything when I search that is specific to Cricket Devices. I've got an ATT S8+, and I have the option and actually use fast wireless charging every night.

Hoping someone knows a way to force it back, or if this is something to be fixed by Samsung?

***EDIT - I just realized that my boss doesn't have fast wireless charging either, she hasn't been able to use the fast charger we got her for Christmas. :( She has a Vzw S8+.

TIA :cool:

It's Not the Charger, block/travel plug or lead.

I am, and always have been a loyal Samsung user since the (slide up) D500 which I still have btw. :o

Had every other S model as my provider contract is over 18 months so tend to miss a model. S4, S6 now on S8+ and had charger port issues with them all. So Samsung changed the port, and lead to one that even an idiot like me can plug in whilst driving in the dark without breaking it. Imagine my surprise and disappointment when my S8 stopped fast charging. As the title states, I have only ever used the charger and lead supplied with the handset and after past issues am ULTRA carefull when charging.

So I bought a Samsung (EP-PG9201) wireless fast charger. Using S8's f/charger block + lead from my S6 placed S8 on it and yeah, it charges but no fast charge? Followed all the settings advice but no Accessories option in Advanced Features, Device Maintenance, Battery, Advanced Settings but no wireless charge option (fast or otherwise) Yet prior to my purchase I checked these settings to see if S8 was compatable and the wireless option was there but greyed out but now it's gone!?!

Soz for the waffle but IT'S WOUND ME UP 100% Any help or advice that doesn't include charger, block, lead, settings, phone case or software updates would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance guys

[Galaxy S6 General] Ahmedalwakeel:
I bought my Galaxy S6 in June 2015 and the phone now is 2.5 years old and battery has lost over 30% of its capacity and after the last update the phone started randomly rebooting 3-4 times per day. So I took inspiration from what Apple did with their older iPhones and customized my power saving option to just decrease the CPU performance by 30% to avoid the peak currents that causes the battery to shut down and I haven't had a single reboot ever since then. It does actually works.

The difference however is that I have intentionally done that based my choice. And I know why my device has slowed down now and I know that all I need to do to get the day 1 performance is get a fresh battery ;P.
