If you want to hack your Power from battery to directly input,

but fails to bypass battery check.

I have a idea that works. (some electricity knowledge required)

You can use a capacitor to "cheat" PMIC, and running on usb cable power.

Go buy a super capacitor (a 4.0F V-type should be OK.)

Charge it with the working voltage. (a few seconds is enough for that.)

Then remove your battery. Strip off the battery controller that you'll need.

Find out the positive and negative on it.(Important!)

And connect the charged super capacitor with battery controller, and put it back battery slot (It's small and fits)

And you can boot on cable power without battery!
[Hardware Hacking General] onebro:
In case you still look for a solution, I would connect a functioning Li-Ion battery, either 18650 or from another phone with at least 2000mAh capacity and hook a single cell Li-Ion charger with at least 1A rating.

Things to consider:

- the charger is likely to be noisy and needs a battery to smooth out the wave. It may or may not be an issue. Having a battery connected will dampen it down.

- connecting a smaller battery and powering the tablet via USB may dump too much current into the battery

- the tablet may draw up to 4A on boot, probably 800mA min, so your charger will need a full battery as a backup

- don't use a charger for a different battery chemistry. There is a chance of damage or even fire.

- some devices use I2C interface to talk to the BMS, but this is unlikely in your case

- make sure the temp battery you are using has a BMS

Is your persist partition mountable ??

First try to mount persist partition if it will mount then try to flash persist.img via fastboot

Or if failed to mount then flash Fastboot rom...

[Wileyfox Swift 2 Accessories] bubu3333:
Hello, I am looking to change my battery that has swollen.

Do you have an idea where to buy it?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Accessories] Buxbaum666:
AFAIK you can't buy new batteries, nor can you remove the old one unless you know exactly what you're doing.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Accessories] bubu3333:
it is removed from the phone but I can not find a seller for this item ......
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Accessories] papapacho:
aliexpress, there is a lot of stuff for our phones. i picked up the screen about a month ago, and it cost only 20$.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Accessories] bubu3333:
I also bought a screen for this phone on this site, but there is no battery ...
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Accessories] RegNL:
I have also bought a screen from AliExpress, but there are no instruction on how to replace. Do you have any kind of instructions? I can only find remove the screws on the bottom and the simcard holder, then use a prying tool between the bezel and the backplate. But this is very limited? Any advice? Ofcourse doing it is all at my own risk, but I need some help :)
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Accessories] bubu3333:
Hello ,

I found a video on "youtube" for a tutorial done in Russia.

Hoping that it will be useful

cordially
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Accessories] RegNL:
Hi Bubu,

I can't find the video. Do you have the link or can you post the title (if a link wouldn't be allowed).

Any help is probably better that none.

A local phone shop was able to open it. Now I am removing all parts. I am currently stuck with the battery, but I expect the screen will also be a challenge. At least it seems it was at the first Swift.

Thanks,

I can't seem to find where to post this appropriately, so I'll post it here and see how many people tell me where to post...

So, I have a Xtrons HU which was originally running MTCE_GS_V2.72_3.

I incorrectly updated to MTCE_CHS_V2.75. The system generally worked fine, but the radio didn't work.

So, I acquired MTCE_GS_V2.78_1 from the vendor and installed. The radio works again, but now I have a message "Version Unmatch -01 FD044B343EE7C1C08400 GS 00000000" and an annoying ping every few seconds.

I have looked through the forums trying to find a solution and am very confused about how to proceed. Do any good Samaritans care to help out an Android HU newbie?

Thanks in advance.

After march update I encountered what appears to be an adaptive change in the screen contrast. In fact, when exposed to hard light blacks switch to grey, reducing the screen contrast.

Is it something normal? Is it possible to prevent it?

hello,

i just got my tilt yesterday and purchased a seido case, 4 gb mem card, screen protector, and installed sbp software. i am not ready to load ROM themes and such so i was wondering what are the wm6 cool themes and user interface tweaks available?

i really like sbp diary and pocket plus. using those, i dont see a purpose to mobile shell.

question, when i choose an image to be my background wallpaper, why is it shaded white? i couldnt find the control that specifies the transparancy.

thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bapssystupr3m3:
instead of choosing the picture to be ur BG..go to file explorer..open the file and menu > set as wallpaper > set transparency to 0

hi everyone.

i rooted my phone installed twrp recovery 3.0.2 and for the last 6 months it was running perfectly the lineage 14.1 android 7.1 .

This morning , for no reason my phone restarted then stuck at boot showing the samsung galaxy s3 logo.

When i accessed the twrp it didn't detect neither my internal or external sd cards.

tried to root it again /flash twrp again using ODIN but always fails showing the nand write fail or the recovery fail.

What should i do.

Try flashing twrp as a zip from twrp itself..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Shadow Assassin:
So, anytime someone send me a text with a link, the link opens up in a preview version of Samsung Internet (I force closed apps to figure out what it was). Then if I want to open it in a full browser, I click the three dot menu but im only able to choose Samsung internet. Iv checked webview settings and they are all unchangable. Iv set all defaults I can to chrome. It wont let me change app link settings. I dont know what to do. Iv included pictures to help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Beesvee:

I get 'app not installed' when trying the latest version. Any help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Fusius:
If you have a previous version of the app installed and are trying to install your "latest version" over it, you will need to un-install the previous version first. That "latest version" you are trying to install may be signed to another user if you didn't get it from the Google PlayStore and the app is looking at the previous version as being in conflict with your latest version. Uninstalling the previous version and then installing your latest version should be successful.

My Micro-USB was broken, so i solderd a new one at the board.

First it loads, but after the first day of use the Battery seems not to be charged (no flash-icon in the Battery).

So I disambled again, and resolder some of the USB-Pins. I've also removed the + pol of the Battery, and solderd it back to the board after finish my work.

Now if I plugin the AC, Tablet wake up, but only shows the "American Megatrends"-Bios Logo. Then tablet seems to freeze.

I still can shutdown the Tablet, If I press and Hold the PWR-Button for 10 Seconds, but If I restart the Tablet, same thing happend like described before.

Any Idea, what may the Problem?

But i am able to only root it using KINGROOT. Now i need to UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER TO SET UP CUSTOM RECOVERY But i dont know how to do it because that usb port is not working!! What it does that only charge when completely drained and the phone doesnt even GETS RECOGNISED By PC!

I am stuck TOTALLY STUCK!!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zerikwan:
I never know the way to put TWRP without PC before but there is a new Official TWRP App on PlayStore. It means you can flash TWRP without PC (I never test it myself). Maybe you can give it a shot.

I don't know If Kingroot would work but to increase success rate, install and run supersume.apk IMMEDIATELY after phone rooted. Means No reboot after rooting process is done. Supersume will install SuperSu for root management. Note that Supersume is a paid app.

The steps are:

- make sure your bootloader is unlocked (unlocking process by PC). There is a thread about this somewhere on this forum, but I prefer the Official way. Much reliable.

- install Kingroot and begin the rooting process (btw, I'm using kingroot v4.5 back then).

- If succeed, DON'T REBOOT, install supersume and begin the process (note: it's a paid app so if you wanna continue without supersume, you are free to go to the next step).

- Install Official TWRP App on playstore. Then install The latest TWRP for Yuga.

Note: I don't guarantee that this method will work 100%, and if you can't unlock your bootloader then there is nothing you can do. Sorry.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] bilbo60:
Is the new camera AI part of Oreo 8.0, or is it a separate update? I've updated on Verizon, but see no new modes in the camera. Some people, after updating to Oreo, have reported that their splash screens now show V30S Thin Q. Mine doesn't. Is this all carrier related? Thanks
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] cazcryy:
Not all Oreos have them. Mine updated to oreo and got 2-3 more updates before getting the ThinQ features (which weren't even announced until well after Oreo was released for Korean carriers). Maybe some carriers skip the earlier updates and go straight to the version with ThinQ but there's definitely previous oreo versions without these features.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Wolfsbane58:
AI should be separate. It’s an LG software, not a Google Oreo component. Though I think some of the Oreo updates received by some carriers from LG may include both.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] bilbo60:
Thanks to both replies.

That's what I thought. How would you know? Is it a Kernel version?
[Nextbit Robin] beryl23.5:
Edit: Disregard this thread. I got it done with adb sideload.

Hi all. Help appreciate in advance. I'm new to Mod'ing android phones, and I'm trying to mod a Nextbit Robin. Please pardon imprecise lingo in trying to describe what I've done and where I'm at.

I successfully unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP to the phone, and decrypted/rooted my device.

I'm able to boot into TWRP recovery. I think all I have left to do at this point is to get my MOD file onto the device and then flash the MOD (choosing to try Lineage 14.1) and GAPPS.

This is the point I'm getting stuck, however. I don't seem to be able to get the files onto the phone.

When I test whether I can see the phone with <fastboot -i 0x2c3f devices>, I can see the phone. And that's how I got the TWRP onto the phone <fastboot -i 0x2c3f flash recovery twrp...filename.img>, which succeeded.

However, I don't seem to be able to adb push the files I want to flash onto the phone, and I don't seem to be able to get the files I want onto the phone in any other way.

Any thoughts on how to get the files I want to flash onto the phone at this point? Thanks in advance. Like I said, I'm a newbie at this sort of thing.

thanks.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] kramerica2:
Hey all,

A while ago I've started my hunt for a UMPC. My demands were not simple:

1. Relatively cheap - up to 700$

2. 3.5G connectivity

3. TV-OUT port

4. ~7" screen size

5. Good battery life

6. Keyboard of some kind

7. GPS

I've looked around and couldn't find anything that answered those demands. The biggest issue with UMPCs I've looked at is poor battery life. After a while, I started to think about the Athena as a UMPC alternative. It answers almost all of my demands except the smaller screen and of-course being a WM device its not a fully capable PC. I wanted to ask you Athena owners, if you think that the Athena could be the device for me. Do you feel the need for a more capable OS? Do you wish to replace it with a bigger UMPC? Do some of you have a UMPC and the Athena and feel they complete each other?

Thanks a lot....

EDIT: Just realised that I've posted this in the wrong forum. I'll put a new one in the main Athena forum.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] raskell:
I have owned the Athena for nearly a year now. I also own a Sony Vaio U70 (See info at this site: )

http://www.mobiletechreview.com/notebooks/sony_vaio_U50.htm

Although both are small, portable, lightweight, same screen size, etc... I find more effective use of the Athena. The main features that make this a plus over the UMPC you have already stated, GPS, a keyboard of sorts, and HSDPA. I can travel for up to a week or so without the need for a laptop computer without compromise in keeping up with e-mails, opening almost every form of attachment, browse the web, connect with Hotel WiFi and have phone capabilities in one device. Carrying one charger is also a benefit. I can (have) connected the Athena to a full size monitor, a full keyboard and added a USB mouse. No reason a Bluetooth mouse shouldn't work as long as you pick your external components wisely.

I don't use the Athena every day as a UMPC replacement, but given the chioce while travelling, carrying it is always better than carrying a phone and the Sony or a phone and an 11 pound (5 kilo) laptop. The perfect UMPC has not yet been created in my view. The HTC Shift is getting closer, but is MUCH LARGER than the Athena and can not serve as a mobile phone. In time, the real UMPC that does it all will come, but when ???? is anybody's guess.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] techntrek:
I was in the market for a new phone and laptop, and after getting the Athena I'm not looking for a laptop at this point. As the last poster said, its not perfect, but its close.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Mosser:
I own a Asus R2H UMPC along with my Athena, and i dont think that the athena type devices will replace umpc's or laptops in the near future, I believe that its windows mobile that limits their usefulness,

On my UMPC, i can open multiple windows at the same time, have tabbed browsing, be chatting to 3 of 4 people in messenger and very easily switch between them all.

In theory, my Athena can do all of these things, but in practise, the graphics are way too slow to switch between apps quickly (i believe this is a lack of driver issue though), you cant do tabbed browsing, and msn messenger on the athena is less than useless for me !, everything in WM seems very clunky and slow compared to my UMPC, the 2 do live side by side, but there's too many features that overlap between the 2 devices really, and i will likely be selling my athena soon to get a smaller mobile phone with a gps in it for sat nav (and one that has a graphics driver in it so that my phone can update tomtom at more than 1 frame every 3 seconds !!)

Overall, i think you either need to accept the limitations of the athena and use it as it is, or get a smaller mobile and a decent umpc like the R2H
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ice_coffee:
Opera, netfront 3.5 and mozilla all do tabbed browsing on the athena !
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Don't use MSN for chat. Try IM+ instead. It lets you simultenously chat in Yahoo, google, and eveything else that exist all at the same time.

I've used many UMPC before although they did'nt call it by that name then. The battery last too short, it takes too long to boot up, it is too big to be used as a mobile device and too small as a desktop.

If you tom tom update 1 frame every 3 seconds, something is wrong with your setup. Athena does not have such limitation, and there is no reason to accept such limitation.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] tootallk2000:
I second what eaglesteve said about the slow frame rate. Not even when I was running factory ROM it wasn't that slow. I suggest you try backing up and reinstalling the latest ROM for your device. IM+ is the best thing I've seen thus far for the Athena although, I didn't have any issues with msn messenger. I strongly recommend IM+ and just do a little research before the down the device. Plus it packs so much power for such a small device it's worth every penny. :D
