Guys, I Just got the phone today, used to have retail mode, MDM, those are downloadable, but today, the MDM locked so hard,

can't even get into the download mode and recovery mode by the combo buttons,

this bootloader was boot from

1. (this is Verizon phone) so can able to do another factory reset by press the power key+ vol down key, it was long wait, longer than normal s8 in verizon,

2. I choose factory reset, then the phone didn't do the resetting instead send me to the recovery mode, so I knew the MDM will block the factory reset in here,

so I chose the boot to bootloader instead, try to flash the combination, then this pop up and stopped. so crazy.

Its ok if MODs want to delete this i have posted same thread in Q&A section

Hello,

I am using Redmi Note 3 SD version. I have used it since December 2016 with Jio(India)

It worked perfectly. Now after using it with Vodafone 4G , i faced issue with 4G and most of the time got 3G network which i thought was restricted to that carrier.

Now i switched back to Jio and 4G drops constantly in some areas where other phones work perfectly with same SIM

I unlocked Bootloader flashed old MIUI version and rooted my phone

I installed Network Guru in that

for Band 40(2300) it drops constantly with LTE RACH being Radio Link Failure and Failure at MSG2

When i lock it to BAND 5(850) it works perfectly. Can someone help me find out whats the issue? I would love to get back to using all the bands as this may prevent me from using network in some areas

Just got this from their newsletter

https://www.essential.com/blog/essential-phone-new-colors

We’re excited to share that over the next week we’ll be releasing three new, limited edition colors: Copper Black, Stellar Gray and Ocean Depths, available for $599 exclusively on Essential.com.

Ocean Depths will go on sale today at 12pm PST

Stellar Gray will go on sale Tuesday, February 20 at 12pm PST

Copper Black will go on sale Thursday, February 22 at 12pm PST

Sucks that they are charging a premium for these colorways. I'd like the copper black!

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] VennligFiende:
Stellar Gray or Copper Black... Tough decision... Definitely not doing the green one... Mine is a black one... Very first ones that came out last year... Time to change colors... Decisions...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Ascertion:
They look very good but not at a 20% premium. These will be DoA unfortunately.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] seabro01:
Definitely not switching to one of the new colors. I purchased the pure white for $399. It has no issues and I like the silver frame. Stellar grey looks really nice but not worth $200 and risk of getting a defective phone.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] teostar:
My thoughts exactly. Maybe they'll drop to 399 again and I'll get 1. Have the white but the rubbery material around the frame is getting dirty :(
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cappysw10:
I wouldn't hold my breath that they will drop the price of the new colors, they're only producing a limited number of these phones. If they do drop the price, I'll definitely pick up the Copper Black, that phone will be the standout of the phones. Ocean Depths looks nice but I'm thinking the color would have been a bit more teal than blue (referencing the above video as a source). Stellar Gray would be good for the whiners about fingerprints, I just use my micro cloth a whole bunch so it doesn't really bother me that much.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] teostar:
Amazon has an "exclusive". Halo Grey color for $449! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B078...1CXSW03C5J29W27&pd_rd_i=B074BWGRKH&th=1&psc=1

Does anyone have a link from some reliable site to buy a pro 3 x720?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] mchlbenner:
Would buy from eBay money back guarantee.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] sk8223:
There isn't really. I agree with mchlbenner about buying from eBay. It's safer because you can pay with PayPal, and eBay staff is pretty helpful when it comes to bad sellers.

The next best alternative is buying through Banggood or Gearbest with PayPal. After that, Geekbuying and often, LightInTheBox fit here as well (as long as you pay with PayPal).

Aliexpress is so-so. There are some good sellers and plenty of bad sellers. But the prices can be pretty enticing and you'll find more models there. But you can't use PayPal, you have to use your credit card, which makes contesting a transaction difficult after the sale. Also, Aliexpress free shipping sucks. Also, cashback websites like TopCashBack tend to post higher cashback rates for Aliexpress over other stores.

I've personally had great experiences buying from both Banggood and Gearbest. Gearbest refunded me for expensive headphones I never got, and Banggood allowed me to cancel my x722 order and re-order in a different currency. I'm not so sure about Geekbuying or LITB. As for reliable Aliexpress sellers for LeEco phones, I don't know any. I do know reliable sellers for Xiaomi phones though (taken from reddit.com/r/Xiaomi).

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] 1989andres:
Hello guys, I'm struggling with a G935F that's been having weird boot and battery failures in the past months, and now sometimes it won't even boot. Phone has been bought in 2016 so it has no warranty.

I've flashed it using '7.0 stock ROM' through Odin, then factory and cache wipe, but nothing changed. 5 days later I could got into the OS, installed firmware update and again this "infinite bootloop and suddenly working again", so frustrating.

More Context:

1) Battery drain anomaly started 3 or 4 months ago, with overheating and a boot loop. Sometimes it got frozen at the "SAMSUNG" logo, sometimes at "SAMS...". But at least, after a few attempts, I could got into the phone.

2) Last weeks, the same issue, charged the batery at 100%, and started to loop-->∞...'til it was 0%. 20% recharge then black screen with blue led until the battery was completely depleted. Full recharge and misteryously started to work.

3) The same as point 1, but couldn't boot or do anything though, so I decided to flash it with the stock rom.

4)Tried 2 different stock ROM's, but the same as point (1) . Today the phone finally got into the OS and it's working fine.

I'll install Superman ROM with Notorious Kernel to see if this behaviour changes, but since this phone isn't mine, I want to take advice from you guys: Is this behaviour a software or hardware problem? Phone used to get overheated but now it's not happening, It's working fine, I'm doing a start-up and shut down cycle to see if the problem occurs at certain battery level. And everything is going fine. So if you need more specific information I think i can run anything safetly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] 1989andres:
I have tried 3 different ROM's. Minotaur, Superman and Stock. Customized ROM's won't even install, phone freezes with weird lines, as if it were a GPU fail, it gets really hot until the battery is depleted. After several attemps, sometimes I can access de OS (sometimes with Minotaur ROM), but it freezes in the Google Account input menu.

Here is a log after trying to install Minotaur again.

[General Questions and Answers] leburaque:
3 years ago it was not possible i think, but maybe something was changed?

I got a lot of photos on my phone and everytime i'm moving them to SD card, Google Photos thinks that it need to be restored from the disk and in a moment I have them twice everywhere - on SD card and on phone memory. Confusing, don't You think? Every time i got my phone memory full of photos, even if my card is still empty (or also if i will have card full with duplicates).

Heres more - i need an high quality of theese photos, so i can't participate in Google Compression Program, or whatever gives me unlimited storage space, with lower quality. Not cool. But if i only could change the default folder to SD card... Maybe something bit more complicated, like with rooting and changing advanced setings?

I will be very grateful for any help.

[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] michael50310:
But mine version is on NPPS26.102-63-1

Will this version be released?

And if I try to flash .49 version will I get error?

Thanks a lot:)
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] bycabraljr:
I think I found one place where it's suposed to host the "MONTANA_NPP26.102-63_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip" file, but it's a paid download site.

i'm not going to pay to download because money in Brazil is something very scarce :( especially for something charged in dollar :silly:

if you wanna try, here is: https://www.top-firmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=file-info&id=26032

and if in any case you get this file, please share with us :p
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] michael50310:
So my guess is, we can still flash .49 version rom even we're on higher version. (just simply not to flash gpt.bin, this cause error when your version is newer than .49)

And after installed .49 version, we will receive OTA update then we update it?

Not sure if this is the correct way to get back to stock rom and relock the bootloader...
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] bycabraljr:
To relock the bootloader you'll need a firmware more recent than the previous one you installed. If you had the .49-1 installed, you'll may need to wait for one more recent firmware popout as this .49 will give errors while installing (the "oem lock begin" command only locks the bootloader if you install every single file from the firmware, which will fail because an lower version of the firmware was installed).

In short: you can get back to stock but can't relock bootloader unless you didn't installed the OTA .49-1 or have an more recent firmware available
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] michael50310:
Gotcha. So after reverted to .49 form higher version, will I be able to get OTA update to higher version? Tks a lot!
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] bycabraljr:
Yes, you can update without worries. Just remember to maintain your system untouched before any update. If you root or install custom recovery, the update will fail and may get into a boot loop
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] michael50310:
So I'm currently running NPPS26.102-63-1 , and my bootloader is unlocked. Am I still capable for OTA update? And if I decided to install custom recovery and rom, can I flash .49 version stock rom?
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] bycabraljr:
You can upgrade through OTA with unlocked bootloader, you only can't if you modify your system. But if you are running .63-1 I'm not certain about reinstalling the .49 ROM as they may be different, like different modem or other resources like NFC resulting in bricking. Test at your own risk. I'd like to test .63 ROM, but I can't find any free places to download it.

(Or if you want you can also try the ZUI ROM, it's a stock rom from a chinese moto g5s with ZUI interface)
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] Talwar sridhar:
So the reason is the latest firmware for locking bootloader

Untill now I have thought that the problem is with only my device can we ask for Motorola for the latest firmware releases so that we can relock our bootloader
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] michael50310:
They used to have a site for you to download firmware, but it hasn't been updated like 3years... Even Moto support doesn't know where to get it..
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therightperson_630:
Haven't seen a thread about this problem I'm having.

Basically while in-call, something seems to happen (I'm blaming the mic) where I can hear the person on the other end but they can't hear me. I've read up that this could be a lineage os bug. The thing is, it's not as if it cuts out from the start of the call. It happens randomly in-call and probably reboot to fix

- Happens on the most recent LOS14.1 based roms (I was on LOS14.1 then tried halogenOS, now on sultan's LOS14.1).

- I thought it could be a network issue. called a landline et my network seems fine.

- Full wiped and switched (LOS14.1) roms in case.

- I'm ruling out a hardware problem as I've had calls where it works all the way through, but it's hit and miss.

I'm thinking about switching to LOS15 rom(s) but I'm worried it'll turn out the same.

I'm not expecting a solution (apart from downgrading or going to good old outdated oxygenOS) but am I the only one here? Has anyone else had the problem at least once?

Thanks for your help

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] wtr_dhd:
Does anyone else notice significant battery drain with the official oreo firmware on their 955F ?

With Nougat I could easily get around 7 hours SOT, now it went down to around 4 to max 5 hours of SOT. I am a heavy user (videocalls, normal and bluetooth calls, watch videos, text a lot, etc.).

I have found a thread on another forum of people experiencing the same battery drain click. I just wanted to confirm if people here also noticed it and maybe have a possible solution ?

I flashed Oreo on my S8+ Exynos using this thread. I sideloaded it, although I had to flash the last part (CRAP) with SD card because for some weird reason adb didn't work anymore after flashing the first firmwares (just a heads-up for any of you who want to try to force update their S8/S8+).

Other than the battery drain though I must say the performance is insane, the phone has become an absolute beast (yes, even faster than it runs on Nougat)! But I want my 7 hours of SOT back..

PS. Samsung paused the updates to the "CRAP" oreo update for now, apparantly due to some devices experiencing random reboots (I don't have this problem). So they are only gonna resume the rollout of oreo to the S8/S8+ when they patched this. Maybe this patch will also resolve the battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] hondax:
I agree the battery life has decreased. I am typically below 40% at bedtime compared to above 50% with Nougat. Could be this is the price for improved performance
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ChrisM75:
Its been a day, give it chance! A phone will use more for the first few cycles after a major update.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] wtr_dhd:
I've been running it for 4 days now, didn't really see any improvement yet. After some research it seems S8 users experience the same problem, I found similar threads over there from battery drain with the "CRAP" update.

Guess for now we just have to be patient until the next patch comes out.

I was going to try that until I read many with our same problem tried that without any improvement..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Cave_diver:
Thank you for the feedback.

This must be a joke from Samsung, very disappointing and has me lose interest in the Samsung brand big time.

While the hardware is really nice, the software is mediocre. Slow updates and now this disaster with Oreo. After 4 months of testing this is nothing short of embarrassing.

Don't even get me started about the Samsung Experience vs. stock Android. Using my 2015 Nexus 5x is a pleasure in comparison. And as of lately with Oreo they are almost on par in terms of battery duration.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] paul_59:
Could it be possible that the mix of usage patterns vary and consequently this leads to variations in screen on time.

I have been on OREO ON S8+ since February 9th, I haven't noticed a significant change to maximum screen on time.

Screen on time today just over 9 hours

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Bogeyof:
I also have a higher drain with Oreo. But the simplest thing to test is flight mode. I use flight mode for night (about 7 hours) and now I loose 12% every night in flight mode with a Deep sleep of 99%!!!

Gsam or such Utilities shoes nothing, Deep sleep is 99%, doze mode 98% of time and 12% battery drain (around 1.6%/h)???

With data enabled it's not really much more, no idea what's causing this...
