[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] yaro666:
it should work on usb even without battery, like notebooks.

dead battery just dont hold energy and capacity
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nitrous²:
Not necessarily. Most, if not all modern smartphones will not turn on with a malfunctioning battery.

I tried it out of curiosity. I have a few devices lying around.

Trying to turn them on without a battery:

LG G4 - negative

LG Nexus 5 - negative

HTC One M7 - negative

HTC One M9 - negative

Samsung Galaxy S3 - negative

Samsung Galaxy S4 - negative

Samsung Galaxy S5 - negative

Samsung Galaxy S6 - negative

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - negative

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - negative

thanks we learn every day.

mostly devices that I repair turn on just on cable, but I dont ha e a lot of experience with modern smartphones - mostly lcd replace.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] wilspeak:
I had the same problem, I was sending a TX message on my S7 Edge and all of a sudden the screen just went blank. The phone wouldn't turn on or off and it was getting hot. So I booted into safe mode, now the phone is in safe mode and won't boot back into a normal operating system mode. Now my S7 Edge is stuck in safe mode. I can move through the different options, but the phone will not act on any of the power options
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] redlinecoatings:
I'm currently on the stable 5.0.3 build but am interested in the beta builds. Just have a couple of questions.

1) Can I just flash the ob3 zip in the stock recovery without wiping all of my data?

2) Does ob3 still have the audio tuner working with Bluetooth devices?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] awells845:
You can flash it through stock recovery but may wipe data as your switching from stable to beta.

Audio tuner working for me :)
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] redlinecoatings:
Well I'll try it later. I know going from beta to stable you have to wipe data. Was hoping someone has gone from stable Oreo to beta could chime in whether or not wiping data is required.

Hi

My Redmi 4A, Miui Global 8.5 does not connect to the 3G and 4G Vodafone Portugal network. Is it possible to resolve with configurations or do I have to install a Rom?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Xpun3414:
Hi guys. Looks like I deleted the Fire UI. Now, I dont get pop up messages. I dont have the notification bar or the soft keys. And now that the pop up boxes wont pop up, I cant authorize the tablet. Which means I cant do any modding to it, to fix it. Just dont know what to do at this point. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
HD 8 or 10? Get a copy, untampered SystemUI.apk from the same device, or as close to it. Must be from an Amazon tablet. Boot to recovery and adb sideload it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Xpun3414:
I have the new HD 10 7th Gen 10". Cant do the ADB thing at all. Since I cant authorize it. Even in recovery mode. :(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
in recovery shouldn't matter. You can only adb sideload Amazon signed software in recovery. I will give you a copy of mine as soon as I have access to it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Xpun3414:
ADB wont work, since I cant authorize the tablet.& in recovery mode the pc & ADB wont even see the tablet
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
If you can't boot to recovery at all, you might be perma bricked.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] GamerOfRassilon:
So, to make sure we're all talking the same thing:

Can you boot into recovery mode? (To boot into recovery mode: When the tablet's off, press and hold the power and volume up button. The volume up button is the one closer to the power button. Once the Amazon logo pops up, release the power button but keep holding the volume up button. Eventually, it should boot to a text-only page.)

If you can boot into recovery mode, are you seeing the recovery menu? It should offer you a text-based menu, with options:

reboot system now

apply update from ADB

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

reboot to bootloader

power down

view recovery logs

Assuming you can boot into the recovery menu, connect the device to your computer. Select "apply update from ADB," using the volume buttons to maneuver and the power button to select.

It should say: Now sent the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"...

With the device connected to your computer, go to where your adb software is; type: adb devices . . . does that list the device? (AFAIK, the recovery menu should allow ADB even if you don't have ADB enabled in the system proper; I'm not 100% certain of that, but it's a pretty useless recovery menu if it doesn’t . . .)

If it does list with the adb devices command, then it should be ready to sideload. At this point, you'll need an update file to sideload (which will wipe your system and should convert it to a factory-restored tablet). That's beyond the scope of this troubleshooting, but there are other guides online. However, make sure you choose the same sideloading package as your operating system version. (For example, my tablet has 5.5.0.0, so I sideload update-kindle-40.5.9.1_user_591450020.bin)

To be honest, if you're tech-savvy, then it's quite probable you've already done all this, and apologies for spelling it all out . . . but, reading what you're saying, I'm having a hard time even envisioning what you're getting stuck on.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Xpun3414:
ok heres the thing.

A) when in android, ADB see the device. But I cant authorize ADB on the tablet, due to no pop up box & no notification bar.

B) I can boot into recovery (yes I can see it) but,when in recovery. the pc/ADB doesnt see the tablet at all. so sideloading doesnt work.

C) I would think being in recovery mode, you wouldnt need to authorize ADB. Im thinkin', maybe because I cant authorize it in Android, I cant do anything in recovery. IE: sideload.

Heres what I get when the tablet is in recovery mode..
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Xpun3414:
Ok today, while in recovery mode, I plugged in the tablet & I got this.....
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] GamerOfRassilon:
Yeah, that's all a poser.

At this point, about the only other advice I can offer is to try a different USB port (on your computer), and/or a different USB cable. And if all THAT fails, try a different COMPUTER with different usb cables. (I had some strange errors with getting my Kindle to be recognized by the computer, until I switched to a different port . . . and I've had a problem with the device not charging at all depending on which cable I'm using.)

And if that doesn't yield anything different . . . I'm out of ideas, I'm afraid. :confused:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] bibikalka:
Sideloading in recovery does not require ADB authorization !!! All you need to do is to get the correct drivers loaded, to make sure that your PC can see your Fire. Recovery is for restoring things, if it needed ADB authorization, it would defeat its purpose.

Get USBDeView, and see which devices it shows when the Fire is in recovery, and plugged into a PC USB port. Then try to locate correct drivers. You may want to delete any driver related to this Fire in USBDeView, then plug it back in, make windows try to get the driver for it again.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Xpun3414:
I can't believe I didn't think about that. Totally sliped my mind.

Anyway. Used a different usb cable & a different pc and BAM ! Flawless recovery. Thank you for your help.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] timark251:
So from time to time, more so recently, my phone will sometimes boot up and then not fully finish booting. It works, but is very sluggish. The "Android is starting" animation shows and then disappears. My phone will then seem to have a UI crash. The notification light turns solid blue and it boots back to the ATT logo, then I have to insert my password again. I haven't modified anything on my phone, 100% stock.

One other thing, when all this is happening, apps installed to my EX-SD card are unavailable. Any thoughts?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tmknight:
Anyone noticed any fit and finish 'issues'?

I've noticed that the primary camera is not centered relative to the bezel. Doesn't impact capability/performance, but is unexpected for a phone at this price point.

I can also call out the glass to metal frame interface is not "seamless". There's a growing accumulation of dust that is not easy to remove.

Any others noting these sort of things?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] partylikeaninjastar:
I just just my phone. I don't go out of my way to notice defects.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tmknight:
Bully for you!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I own three of these phones and don't notice such things, no. Two V30 and V30+.

The two cameras are proportionally centered over the back fingerprint sensor, as they should be. So, I don't see what you are talking about.

The dust/water resistance on this phone is IP68 (higher than Apple's iPhones, higher than Google's Pixel XL) -- so your dust is not getting into the phone. The 6 is for dust, the 8 is for water.

If you have any accumulated dust, you can always wash it off under the faucet. ;)

No need for the product sales pitch - this is not my first premium phone and I've done my share of studying over my decade + on these forums. This was meant as a harmless question. Sorry to kick everyone's dog on this. Very glad to hear I'm the only one with these QC items.

Close, but not quite

1) Mine is an SM-T520

You just can't get those, they are for Chinese govt and stuff
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] kountry83:
Well I agree with you one thing being that they are for the Chinese gov and some businesses but you can still get them all day long on AliExpress. Visiting for a Gigaset developers meeting in Germany with a friend of mine that moved to Germany bought one from AliExpress but unfortunately he lost it the same day he got it when we were hiking at the Bavarian Forest National Park. So I never got the chance to get the full experience of what's under the hood. He didn't buy another one because too pricey last year.

I might get one to develop on if it's worth it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] P650SE:
Still to this date I have never seen a real-life picture of the Axon 7S, just the renders that ZTE released on their website and the TENAA images. I didn't realise you could actually buy the Axon 7S from AliExpress but I'm not sure how it could really be worth the price increase just for the dual-camera setup and SD821. I'd be interested to see some thoughts from someone who has the device in regards to the camera quality, etc. The speaker grille is definately a lot more attractive on the 7S. :)

Hi guys. I did a little research and find out, that 7s/a2018 dont have dedicated DAC.

According to ZTE website(I have to google it in chinese), the newer model have Asahi Kasei chip AK4962, which is the same, as 7 mini and max have. But have no DAC.

Device HW Info A2017 vs A2018

I recently got an Axon 7s A2018, mostly because I wanted to check it out. I can confirm that it does not appear to have a separate DAC, though it does sound fairly good (it's comparable if not slightly better than the Sony Xperia XZ Premium, certainly not as good as the original Axon 7).

I was able to find an update on ZTE's Chinese site, and while it's still Android 7.1.1, it is the January 2019 security patch. It took a little bit of fiddling to get the Google Play Store on it after the update, but I was able to do it. I tried a couple things to unlock the bootloader with no luck, and I tried the official ZTE Oreo update also with no luck (I didn't want to go far for fear of bricking the phone, but figured I'd mess with it a bit).

The hardware info from the original Axon 7 shows the two audio devices, while the hardware info from the Axon 7s showing just the 4962 (I have screenshots and pics if anyone is curious).

I'll probably end up using the Axon 7s basically like an Ipod touch. I got for about $200 US on ebay shipped from China. They're also on AliExpress for about that price. I think it's a reasonable device purchase. The Axon 7 remains my favorite phone, I wish the 7s had been made in a US variant.
