[Huawei P Smart Questions & Answers] Monica_U:
Enjoy 7S locked to Chinese carrier

Hi there,

I am interested in this thread because I unwittingly bought a Huawei Enjoy 7s that was sold as a PSmart. I suppose the company that sold it had tinkered with the phone and replaced the firmware, because the phone does have Google services and I did manage to register my Google account in it. However, it only works on WiFi, and not quite as a phone, as it's locked to a Chinese carrier. Huawei won't release it for use outside China.

Would someone know how to get around this? Is there a way to unlock the phone for use in the UK, with a UK carrier (mine is Three)?

Thanks in advance
[Huawei P Smart Questions & Answers] evildev:
If you bought from a company like you say, you should ask for a refund. It's none of your business to fix the device that you properly paid for.
[Huawei P Smart Questions & Answers] Falcon_X:
Is it also possible to rebrand/convert a P Smart single sim to dual sim. Someone has done this and could please explain how to do so?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Lacuna:
I have searched for this, yet I have not been able to find any answers. If I missed it, I do apologize.

In some WM 6.1 roms, when you are typing in threaded texting, your character count is displayed along the top of the screen in the title bar. In other versions, no character count is displayed when in threaded view.

When the character count is enabled, the threaded texting seems to respond much faster, plus when you slide out the screen it stays scrolled all the way to the bottom, while the non-character count version seems to jump up in the convo, requiring you to scroll down to see the message you are replying to.

My question is, is this a setting that can be enabled and disabled, or is there more to it than that? I only ask because Dutty's Feb 20 build seems to have the improved threading, while his latest (March 04), does not.

Once again, sorry if this has been asked and thanks for any help you can offer!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wusong999:
TRY THIS:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM]

"SMSInboxThreadingDisabled"=dword:00000001
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Lacuna:
I tried that and it didn't help. Perhaps you misunderstand my issue, it isn't that I don't have threading, it is just that on some roms I do not get the character count, improved performance, and proper scrolling.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  Questions & Answers] nijohnson:
Had mine for a while. Not being able to root it hase been frustrating. Its OEM unlocked. I just read a note suggesting I just flash a similar ROM from another tab (presuming the 560 or some variant would work) but I am leery of trying it.

I also note that the 8" Verizon version seems to have been successfully rooted. Is there anything there that could be applied to the 9.6?

Thanks!

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
It shows you're connected you a VPN. It's important to know, in case you do not want to be connected to a VPN. So you don't mix your personal stuff with your corporate stuff.

In this case is just being used for ad blocking, but a lot of people use VPN for work.

To the OP,

Have you taken a look at your gmail account settings on a desktop or laptop (not on the phone) ? Reason is that it is easy to see just how much "you allow" Google to either preserve, store, analyze of the data you create and transmit.

I always turn off everything with a new gmail account (have many), attach it to a new phone (new gmail account), access account settings and turn off everything, including history and then later on, may slowly enable some parts.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Rideit12:
Haven't noticed anything new or unusual, just works.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] comhack:
Odd, I have never seen a single ad. Perhaps you are infected with a bad application or your carrier is crap.

Blocking Ad's

100% agree on what you said.

I was able to suggest to Blokada that they allow "black listing" by APP and they agreed to insert this feature in a future update.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z0om:
Yesterday I've tried to setup Lineage 14.1 on my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 and in process of firmware updating TWRP displayed a message:

"error opening: 'data/misc/profiles/cur/0/foreign-dex/@system@priv-app@mediaprovider@mediaprovider.apk' (i/o error)"

After firmware update, I installed several updates and each time TWRP had been displayed that message.

After that, I proceed this path in total commander and didn't find this file (only few others), same time, TWRP file manager showed it, but not allowed delete or move it, even change permission, as same as copy to somewhere.

Could some one say, what is it mean this message (is it serious problem?) and why TWRP couldn't do anything with this file?

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] dabest55:
Hi, I have the same problem. I want to downgrade my Galaxy J5 Sm-J510fn to MM too. Did you find any solution for this? Nougat suck$! TIA
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Finsnevis:
Yes you can downgrade I have downgraded at least 4 times and upgraded again.I would advise you stay with MM if you downgrade and dislike nougat and oreo that much.You can flash most MM roms with nougat bootloader and baseband so keep that in mind as an alternative to downgrading.Ok this will take you at least 3 attempts but it does work.You obviously need phone rooted with oem unlock and have twrp installed.Ok first thing wipe everything with TWRP except usb OTG and external sd card.Boot the phone into download mode and open odin with the MM firmware you want to flash.The firmware will start to flash but will keep on saying waiting for bootloader 10 seconds or 20 seconds.Just let it flash the firmware.If the firmware loads on odin and stays the same without loading bootloader rubbish you have the new firmware flashed and is great.When the firmware is flashed after saying waiting for bootloader it will say success after flashing.It will never boot however.What you do is flash twrp through odin then factory reset and reboot.It won't boot so go back in to twrp and only wipe dalvike data system and cache this time.After that boot into download mode and flash MM firmware again.If the same thing happens again just repeat the above again.Sometimes I transferred the firmware to a different version of odin.It always took me 3 attempts but don't give up it works.Is great when you load the firmware on odin and everything loads and stops no more rubbish like waiting for bootloader.The phone will boot after this with MM no problem.:D
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] dabest55:
I used odin. And Im still Nougat because whenever I start flashing it, a few seconds it will stop. Because of that bootloader. How can I unlock that thing?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Finsnevis:
Make sure you have set OEM unlock in developer options and try flashing from a different version of odin.I just downgraded again a few weeks ago no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] dabest55:
PLEASE show me how. Do u have FB? For screenshots?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Finsnevis:
http://bit.ly/GalaxyJ52016WAGroup If you join the what"s app group I will try and help you I don"t use FB Line or Instagram.Even if you have same phone J510 FN there are no guarantees downgrading firmware will work.:D
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Finsnevis:
My advice and this is final.I downgraded 3 or 4 weeks ago as I said before and have done a lot in that time with mm roms sometimes flashing 6 roms a day and the same problems with mm still exist mainly bluetooth connections on speakers games controllers car bluetooth accessories.Nothing has changed and no developer is going back in history to fix any of this.I will upgrade to nougat in the next few days and that will be the last time I downgrade again.As I said before most mm roms can be flashed on nougat firmware and are just as good performance wise.I would suggest you try the oreo aosp roms or the new Pie roms if you dislike nougat that much and join the what's app group link I gave you to get some decent roms.And in my opinion the nougat roms are better than mm roms and you have 5 or 6 different nougat kernels and for oreo and pie aosp roms you have again 5 or 6 different kernels.MM great as it was has been surpassed by nougat easily and now oreo and Pie.As I said before you can flash all the best MM roms on nougat firmware.It is not worth downgrading believe me.:highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] dabest55:
I want to downgrade because when I upgrade to Nougat some new system apps added and makes Lag and battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 9163146:
Did u manage to sort. I love my J5. Have it since first launched. I have tried most custom and official roms, soft bricked many times, and unbricked. Lollipop is the best for this device. its one of the easiest phones to flash.

1. Go to settings, tap on build number 8 times until it shows " you are now a developer"

2. Go back to settings . Select developer options.

3. Enable OEM unlock and USB debugging.

4. Power off phone.

5. Press vol down+home+power buttons to go into download mode. It will ask if you are sure to continue? Press vol up (i think) directions will be on screen.

6. Open odin on pc and connect phone.

7. Odin should show COM with a number in blue. That means connection success.

8. Please ensure you flash correct software for your phone or else bootloop. Check firmware from here https://updato.com/firmware

No. But you will if something goes wrong.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThiagoAlmeida:
Okay, since many people are having this problem lately, i will show the solution that worked for me and for others around the web. My wifi range suddenly was reduced and I still don't know why. If you are having the same problem, you should try this procedure. I dont have a Mediatek(KATE) version to test, so if someone can do the procedure and report back, I would appreciate. On XDA I saw bar4's guide:

But in the pictures, he glues the aluminum foil to the wrong side of the piece. The correct was to do the following:

Open the back cover;

Remove the 4 screws on the top piece shown in the pictures;

Cut some aluminum paper or foil in a size that cover the two grey contacts and place it above them with a dot of scholar glue; (Pay attention to the side of the piece)

Put the top piece back on its place and insert the screws.

Do some testing

*See the pictures

Consider we are looking the smartphone from the back. The problem I had with bar4's guide was that he glued the aluminum to the right side contacts, while he should have glued it to the left side.

Other possibilities are that the continuity between contacts was broken(in my case, on the left side) by a fall or something. Before doing the procedure, check the continuity between each pair of contacts on the top pieces. If the current is not going through, you've found the problem. Maybe bar4 had the right side broken. I created this thread because there is almost no info about this procedure in the web.

Spread it out.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tangoviking:
Left side is so called diversity antenna, it works together with the main antenna located at the bottom (below speaker) to create stability. Possibly something could be done with a "reflector" type of fix.

The wifi-fix is not without risks, what it does is change the properties of the multi-band antenna which is used for 2,4ghz, 5ghz wifi, BT, GPS. Maybe you get lucky and it works but also check BT and GPS before declaring success.
