[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbobmcginty:
I have a 5th (sv98ln) and a 7th (sr043kl) gen Fire 7, neither of which charge past 1%. They boot and work fine, but the battery doesn't charge.

Both are replacements for previous 5th gen Fire 7s which died the same death - so this fault has occurred 4 times now.

This is using the original charger/cable combo, or quality chargers and cables from mobile phones (original Samsung/LG chargers).

Tried:

- Amazon recommendation of holding down power button for 30s for a hard reboot

- Factory reset in Settings (denied - need 30% battery)

- Recovery factory reset (successful - gave an error about 30% battery but it wiped /data and /cache anyway)

Can't:

- Downgrade / go custom ROM - SW version is too high

- Check for updated FW - selecting System Updates returns to the main Settings screen

Anyone else getting this? Amazon know about the issue but I'm curious why it's not even mentioned on XDA?

Being a charging problem, I can only think this is a hardware not software issue. My suspicion is the Fire 7 can't handle higher power chargers, blows some part of the charging circuitry or something. Based on pure speculation though, and a lack of any other reason I can think of.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Inability to accept a charge is typically (almost always) a USB cable problem. However, if the 'power brick' puts out more than 5.5 volts then the internal charging circuit can be damaged. Charger capacity as measured in mA/mAh/Amps/Watts is irrelevant as device determines/modulates uptake rate.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbobmcginty:
Possible that a higher voltage was applied by one of the Fast or QuickCharge bricks since they operate at 9V-12V when a compatible device is detected - but doubtful. Many charging cables of known quality have failed to resolve this.

Looking at the kernel logs in Recovery, one line suggests the battery temperature is 230C..... hmmm.

Help me, guys . I have a unique microphone problem. Whenever I install stock rom the mic phone works properly. But whenever the mic of my phone gets very very low when I install a custom rom. If I reverse back to stock Rom the mic works normally. So guide me to fix this Problem. When I put the headphones it works normally.

Thanks.............

you need to upgrade the radio if all you did was unlock the phone and flash the rom its going to stay stuck at the boot screen until you upgrade to the 3.27 radio

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ryanwood:
for anyone else out there reading this, please take this as a lesson. Read before you do anything. 3.27 Radio is required and it says that everywhere.

Do not flash your phone if you have not read everything about how to do it.

[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] dawnc:
Since TWRP is still not ported to V10, so i decided to make a prerooted-boot.img.

Download Link

You can flash this boot.img to root your Honor V10 AL20C00 (6GB+128GB China Edition) on stock firmware (B132)

Usage:

0. Unlock bootloader and close find my phone.

1. Power off your phone

2. Plug your phone to computer

3. Hold power and volume down until boot into fastboot mode

4. flash this boot.img by adb ( fastboot flash ramdisk boot-root-b122.img), please download adb by yourself

5. reboot (fastboot reboot)

Your phone may reboot twice, and you'll get root access.

Declaim:

I only test this on my own phone (BKL-AL20C00), Use this on your own risk. I'm not responsible for your phone's damage.

using this tool means you accept this.

Thanks:

Custom Recovery for V10

Hi ppl. Has a custom recovery been ported for the V10. I have managed to root my phone using the above method, but since there is no custom recovery available, I am unable to flash any mod / roms, etc.
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] whymista:
I'm hesitant to try this without more information
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] piphol:
Hi harshshah17,

Did you unlock your bootloader first? I think there are methods to flash zip files without having a custom REC. Try Flashfire apk. I've read the phone can get even more "restricted" (many features get blocked) once you root your Honor V10. Is it true in your case? Thanks in advance for your reply.
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] harshshah17:
Ofcourse i have unlocked my bootloader..Its only after that, that you can root. With regard to your question, I have not experienced any sort of "restriction" with my Honor View 10 post rooting. Seems to be working just as normal. The only thing is that i am unable to install the OTA update.

The reason I am asking for a custom recovery is because i need to remove Super SU and install Magisk instead. In order to remove super SU i need to flash an uninstall zip (I know you a can remove it from the Super SU options, but that doesn't seem to be working). I can certainly use flashfire to flash the uninstall zip but then my phone will be unrooted and I wont be able to flash magisk via flashfire.

If anyone has a solution for the above, suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] dawnc:
U can remove root by flashing the stock ramdisk.img, which can be extracted from the official full-ota update.app
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] whymista:
Only thing I've seen that doesn't work with root is face unlock. Also how can I flash magisk since there isn't a recovery yet. Can I use flashify?

Yut kill
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] whymista:
Where can you find the full OTA?
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] piphol:
Download Firmware Finder for Huawei in Play store. They got partial and full OTAs there.

By the way, flashing custom ROMs for V10 is now also thru Fastboot. So I guess TWRP isn't applicable for V10? Maybe Magisk can also be flashed using Fastboot. I will try to research for custom ROM with Magisk. So far, I only see SuperSU pre-installed. ?
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] whymista:
I did download that and the extractor tool but it says I need the update.app file to extract the boot image an I've yet to find that in either of the three files I tried.

So I know how to use fastboot but will I need the boot image first or can I just flash magisk. The current root method installs su. That's where I'm kind of stuck as far because I've always read that you have to uninstall su first but then wouldn't I lose the ability to flash magisk? I'm currently just rooted on the stock rom.

Didn't even know there was a custom rom hadn't seen it on here yet.

This is what it's saying I need to unbrick View attachment 4405892
[Honor View 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] piphol:
It should be "fastboot flash ramdisk <boot image name>".

Second, if it doesn't help, the next step is to enter e-recovery mode. Press Volume Up + Power for 15 seconds. Follow the prompts and it should download the full OTA for you. I think you need your Huawei ID in the process (and a good Wifi signal).

Lastly, I think this is a sure bet but will cost you, google "funkyhuawei honor v10 rebranding guide". You will find a reddit link. They are the only team who "holds" BKL-L09 Full OTA roms that I know of. You need to buy "credits" to download OTAs and unbrick your phone. Unfortunately, team MT (team behind Firmware Finder) hasn't got a hold of a full OTA of BKL-L09.

From my experience, the first suggested solution should already work. I hope you don't get to the third solution.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] nath247:
So I bought a Sapphire Blue 128/6GB Dual Sim U11 and discovered it does not have Wifi Calling and Voice Over LTE for the EE network in the UK.

I only bought this phone just before Christmas day and trying to get a response from HTC is like trying to get blood out of a stone.

I tried through the support pages on HTC UK and got no response, then tried through the Digital River page to contact HTC.

Eventually get a response and they want me to post the phone to Janki, ul. Falencka 1B, Raszyn, 05-090, Poland

Is this correct?

I then received a separate ticket with a sheet to attach to the order, I opened the PDF and it's for a repair! I don't want the device repaired as it is working perfectly fine, just not adequate for my needs and want to return it for a refund.

Tempted to stick the thing on eBay and cut my losses if this is how incompetent HTC are at customer service.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] shivadow:
Digitalriver seems to be a software delivery company. Do not send it to them unless you bought it from them.

The problem isn't the phone. It is the carrier. EE only allow branded phones to use their facilities on pay monthly contracts. WiFi calling isn't available on ee payg.

As the phone isn't faulty you're not entitled to a refund. If the phone is capable of wifi calling in the advertising but you can't find *excluding ee* then it isn't sold as advertised under the Trade Descriptions Act. The seller would have to either make it work or refund you.

If you bought it from HTC directly then you'll have to contact them. You can contact HTC via their .com website and choose the support section, live chat. This is best at around 7pm UK time as this works out around 2pm Eastern USA, 9am Western. I spoke to them myself yesterday at that time for a question I had.

You could ask EE if there is any way that they can manually provision the phone to use wifi calling..
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Galactus:
1. VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling works fine on the U11 on stock unbranded firmware. The reason it isn't there on the dual sim model is simply because EE carrier settings seem to be amiss on dual sim firmware. Wouldn't surprise me if op flashed custom ROMs that support dual sim firmware and managed to get both working.

2. You have 14 days to return any product or cancel any contract for ANY reason apart from personalised products or earphones

Op, contact them again via live chat between 9am-6pm or phone them 0203 684 5000 and talk to them directly
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] shivadow:
14 days only if it is faulty, not as described, not satisfactory or not fit for purpose and you must tell them in writing within 14 days but is not a given as it purely up to the "retailers" refund policy.

Please give correct information as you are another who doesn't know the law.

Here is a link that will break it down to layman's so you can understand it in future: https://www.money.co.uk/guides/your-refund-rights-explained.htm

Also the 30 day contract cooling off period doesn't apply as he didn't get it on contract from ee or htc. He bought the device direct and loaded his own sim.

Thanks.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Galactus:
What are you talking about.

Firstly, your own link states

Secondly, I have returned many products purchased online within 14 days with zero hassle from everyone apart from very.co.uk who crumbled too once I mentioned the distance selling regulations.

It would seem you are the one who doesn't know UK law lol

Let me also add my own source

Online, mail and phone order sales

https://www.gov.uk/accepting-returns-and-giving-refunds

Op, you're dangerously close to being outside of the 14 day window.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] nath247:
Let me explain myself a little better, I was in a bit of a rush when I wrote the original message. I already own a Black U11 4GB UK model and wished I bought the Sapphire Blue when I saw one in the flesh, decided to for a small upgrade hence the 128GB, 6GB memory and dual sim. My Black 4GB model is still within the extended return window from Amazon as I bought it in December.

After reading around about a lot of hassle trying to get a refund from HTC directly I may just stick with the Blue 128GB phone as I don't want to be chasing a refund for months on end, I can still send back my 4GB black model to Amazon. Plus I'm pretty much past the 14 day window seeing as HTC took so long to respond to me.

My 4GB Black model is unbranded and HTC_001 and supports Wifi Calling and Voice Over LTE as it popped up when I put my EE sim in.

I guess I could always root the dual sim model if I really wanted the network features, I've not had Wifi Calling before so that's not so much an issue but I had Voice Over LTE on my HTC One M9, it's a feature I would miss but it's not the end of the world.

Has there been anyone that has managed to Wifi Calling + Voice Over LTE working after rooting the phone, what firmware to flash etc?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] nath247:
Just thought I'd add an update.

Updated the phone to Oreo, Wifi calling and Voice Over LTE is now working :)

I will be keeping this phone.

XPrivacyLua

Really simple to use privacy manager for Android 6.0 Marshmallow and later (successor of XPrivacy).

Revoking Android permissions from apps often let apps crash or malfunction. XPrivacyLua solves this by feeding apps fake data instead of real data.

Features:

Simple to use

Manage any user or system app

Extensible

Multi-user support

Free and open source

See here for all details, including installation instructions and download link.

Please read the frequently asked questions before asking a question.

This XDA thread is about

using

the

latest

version of XPrivacyLua. Off topic comments are allowed as long they are related to XPrivacyLua and are in the general interest of the followers of this thread, but anything

not related to privacy is not allowed

.

If XPrivacyLua doesn't work and/or when "module not running or updated" is shown, this is almost always caused by an Xposed problem.

Discussions about purchases are not allowed here, please contact me via here instead.

XPrivacyLua is being maintained and community supported, but new features won't be added anymore.

Custom hook definitions will always be part of XPrivacyLua, but there will be community support only. This means that I won't respond to questions about defining custom hooks anymore. See this thread for the reasons.

If you value your privacy, please consider to support this project with a donation or by purchasing pro features.

About feature requests and bug reports:

XDA thanks and donations are appreciated.

XPrivacyLua is supported with Xposed only. There is no support for VirtualXposed and TaiChi.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Orphee:
Even if old Xprivacy isn't supported on nougat, is it possible to keep it with new Lua too until Lua grow up? Or it is not recommended ?

Thank you
[Xposed Framework Modules] blackhawk_LA:
Noooo! First post and it is asking about using Xprivacy on Nougat? That must be demotivating to the dev! It has been told too many times in the xprivacy thread that it is not recommended to use it on Nougat and above all IT IS NOT SUPPORTED!

Sorry for using capitals but let's hope everyone sees it and this thread stays on new Lua topic.

Greetings.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Namnodorel:
Wow, I was just scrolling through some stuff, stumbled into your repo for XPrivacy/Lua and couldn't believe what I saw! M66B is developing a new app as a replacement for XPrivacy... Thank you so much, you've totally made my day and pobably quite some time into the future as well! I'll definetely also buy/donate for this version as soon as I get to use it.

Just some technical questions:

Looks like you are going more modular with this new app, and you mentioned something about downloading additional (user-made) hooks. You also said you'd keep it much more simple this time to avoid high maintenance etc. Could these external hooks then allow to get the complexity back? I totally understand your motivation, but in-depth restricting of app permissions was something I really liked about the old XPrivacy, and if some user-made hooks would make that possible I'd use them. But they'd also need the ability to add new UI elements, and not just "This hook is about the method XY, execute this code before/after to block it and this code to enable it" for that to be possible.
[Xposed Framework Modules] M66B:

[Xposed Framework Modules] M66B:
For now I will concentrate on fixing bugs and building restrictions, which is of course the most important of all. Restrictions are indeed defined and written in Lua. Currently all restrictions are built-in, but later I might add a manager, so you can manage your own definitions. There might even be a repository, which could even contain definition for things not privacy related.

You can find the current definitions here (hooks.json contains the definitions).
[Xposed Framework Modules] TheAKAlias:
Just donated. More to follow along the way. Thank you!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] OgreTactic:
"XPrivacyLua is supported on Android 6 Marshmallow and later" you're either lying or it's a misstatement on the repo.

Also can somehow explain to me (I just switched to Android), what Lua is (if not a programming language)?
[Xposed Framework Modules] M66B:
I don't see why that is a lie or misstatement, so, could you please explain why you think it is?

Edit: I have changed the wording of the opening post a bit, so it is clearer that "Android 6 Marshmallow and later" applies to XPrivacyLua and not to XPrivacy, assuming this is what you meant.

See this comment.

[Xposed Framework Modules] MishaalRahman:
Glad to see Xposed Module development is still alive!
[Xposed Framework Modules] th4_c0r3:
Thx a lot for building and developing this app.

After I've selected some apps I get an error:

XLua.Main:android.os.DeadObjectException:Transaction failed on small parcel; remote process probably died

Things that I would appreciate in future releases:

- More restriction-types like: Network connection, Telephone number/sim-operator, Serialnumber, installed apps/services, accounts

- Is it possible to hide disabled apps from the list?

- Is it possible to decide when an app will request for example the location to allow or deny the request?
[Xposed Framework Modules] M66B:
Can you please capture a logcat? If not, the problem might be visible in the Xposed log as well.

Edit: where exactly do you see this error?

Disabled apps are hidden from the list by default.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Uzephi:
First: thanks for the release and minimal UI of this app.

Just one request if it is possible. Would it be possible when you start ironing out the features to include a randomisation to some privacy information. Like my main coordinates for GPS are 33N 112W. If the app could randomise the rest so the app knows my general location but not accurately as 1m?

Edit: a good reason for this is for apps like speedtest.net. it grabs GPS to find a close server. When I restrict, closes server is in NY. I don't mind if it knows I live in AZ, heck, XDA knows I live here, but knowing my exact location is bothering.
[Xposed Framework Modules] th4_c0r3:
The error occurs every second time I open the app and it's shown in the bottom of the app. In the Xposed log there isn't a XLua-Error.

I've sent you the logcat via email.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Namnodorel:
Thank you for your answer, but I'm still kinda missing what I wanted to know: Could hooks potentially add custom UI and/or save data? I'd imagine something like saving a list of contacts and when an app requests the contact list selecting this specific list to be returned.
[Xposed Framework Modules] M66B:
Yes, that would be possible. When there is a need, I will add APIs that can be used in Lua to save data in a structured way into the XPrivacyLua database, so anyone wanting to develop a new hook definition doesn't have to worry about how to do this. In fact this has already been prepared.
[Xposed Framework Modules] OgreTactic:
Oh okay, thanks. So I can't use the current XPrivacy (on the PlayStore) on Nougat S8? I hope I can if not, I'll wait for the XPrivacy L.

It's crazy that Android forces privacy breaching (violation is an accurate word use) "services", processes and apps at it's core. If I were to learn to use Android enough is it possible to prevent it, like it's the case on iPhone, well in appareances because when you jailbreak it you can see all the processes, but it's clearly not in completely forcing this violation of your data, be it just with the permission management that NO apps can require or force on you to run, which to me absolutely crazy that it's the case on Android.
