Maybe your phone may not have charge. Plug in the charger for about one hour. Afterwards do the above. You may have to do it multiple times to power off your phone. Once it it is powered off rest is easy

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] veef13:
hi all

seem to have a problem with my vario 3... i cant recieve incoming calls unless ive made an outgoing call... and i always have to make an outgoing call twice to get it to connect...

been having this prob since thursday, so was trying various radios and even some new roms... but i cant resolve this issue :(

any suggestions...

for now I am on DCSv1.7 and the reccomended UK radio... the prob started on the Vista rom which was flawless until this happened... and i have tried every 6.1 radio out there...

cant help but think the vario has developed a fault :(

cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] veef13:
no-one got any suggestions?

i've just reloaded the stock tmobile rom and same problem. when i first try to call out, the call drops, but the 2nd time it works...

when i try to call my phone i get a "phone not available" message, then if i try again it works...

i shudder to think of the missed calls i'm getting and not knowing about...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ~~Tito~~:
Whats your radio, what version of WM do you have and its probably your area.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] veef13:
at the moment, and i've tried nearly all 6.0 and 6.1 roms, but Sleuth1.2 and 1.27.12.32, but again have tried many (obviously 6.0 with 6.0 etc ;) )

its not my area, as never had this happen before in this area... i have full signal...

spoke to tmob, they said its a known fault and to set the band to GSM, which, it appears has fixed this issue... but i no longer seem to get 3G or HSPDA etc :(

what i dont get is why has this happend after 6 months of flawless stock rom usage, and 3 months of cooked rom usage? tis all a bit random...

but i guess its fixed for now, just means ive lost high speed data
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshSnitz:
Hi all,

I've rediscovered my nexus 7 lying around and am trying to install a custom rom. When I boot to fastboot it says it's unlocked but when I try and flash TWRP it doesn't do anything (it just hangs). I'm using platform tools version r16.0.1 and have tried flashing TWRP versions 2.2.1, 3.1.1-0 and 3.0.0-0. Does anyone know what might fix this?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crike:
I am looking to sell an old phone, but the prospective buyer would like stock KitKat and the Knox counter reset.

I've read several older threads and they boil down to:

1) use TriangleAway to reset the flash counter but

2) it may brick your phone and

3) the flash counter isn't the same as the Knox counter, anyway.

As far as a GT-N7105 is concerned, is that still correct in 2018?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mistermojorizin:
Latest April update and I have magisk 16.3 with 5.64 manager version. Everything works fine, but now i've hit a snag.

I wanted to change the boot animation, I changed the file /media/bootanimation.zip and set permissions 644 (rw-r-r) using 1)solid explorer 2)root explorer 3)adb shell (using mount-wo remount rootfs / to make the /media partition writable. multiple reboots of course. the files I set are "sticking" after reboot.

It's still showing stock animation.

I found an app that would change it though: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=website.olivermillers.customboot2

I don't know what file it changed but it made a backup of my stock animation, and it was my stock animation (not the one that I had set for /media/bootanimation.zip). I tried to restore the stock animation manually, as described above, but now it just shows the boot animation set by that app, and I can't change it.

Questions:

1. What am I doing wrong and what did that app do correctly, that it was able to change the boot animation?

and/or

2. Is there a substratum module with a black pixel 2 animation? That's all I really want and I can change animations with magisk easily and reliably. Just can't find the one I need.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EnIXmA:
I did it using the root browser app and the bootanimation changed.. it's system/media I think
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Like EnlXmA said, it goes on system/media. Using root explorer, I just place my new bootanimation.zip in that folder, add a .bat to my old animation, and just reboot. No need to change permissions at all. Here's a dark pixel bootanimation if you want/need it :good: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zStFsJiqq5bLTp5krQnpwlztoJfK_B33/view?usp=drivesdk
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mistermojorizin:
Thanks so much guys. I feel so stupid. i've read your posts on this before, BAdger, even saw that same screenshot and download that same file from your drive. And yet I still thought it was /media, not /system/media. Thanks for the tip that I don't need to change permissions, too, I did not know that.

:good::good::good:

Would you mind posting a copy of the .bak file (the stock boot animation)? In my stupid attempts, I deleted mine.)

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] orbitech:
Well title says it all.. Duos model is almost 100 euros cheaper so are there any differences with S9+?

Are they only rom related or do they have differences in h/w as well? And why is it cheaper anyway?

Thanks in advance for your replies
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Carach_CZ:
One is dual sim, while the second isnt. Simple as that.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Karlinski:
I believe duos is EX, and the non could potentially be SD.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] trickie69r:
I think it is:

1 sim = S9+

2 sims = S9+ Duos (also known as Hybrid but has Duos on the back of the device).

I might be wrong. I normally am according to the better half!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] kimLJT:
i am also wondering with this duo version though mine is duos, i thought the hybrid sim is standard since years ago for flagship phones but seems with these 2 variant it isn't. i thought at first with this duos variant have 3 slots: 2 sim 1 mSD but seems its just another hybrid one *sigh*
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mikey_sk:
The duos as long as it's the exynos version with the same product code (G965FD) will run any official G965F firmwarw fine. I got one from Hong Kong and flashed the UK three firmware and now I get volte and WiFi calling. It was over £200 cheaper than Samsung UK!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] orbitech:
Thanks this is what I was looking for to hear. Not having the same firmware model as the world one would be a no go since f/w updates would be different.

Who did you buy from exactly?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] madnav:
S9/S9+ Duos is a Hybrid Dual SIM device based on Samsung Exynos 9810 platform.

S9/S9+ Regular (non-Duos) is a Single SIM + SD Slot device based on either Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 OR Samsung Exynos 9810 platform; it depends upon the model number.

I could find all model numbers here with a quick google search; I am not sure if this information is absolutely correct though.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] madnav:
The 2nd slot (hybrid one) accepts only SD cards on non-duos models.

Samsung might not be using "Duos" branding in all market where it sells Dual SIM variants.

For eg. European dual SIM variants are branded Duos but Indian dual SIM variants are simply called "Samsung Galaxy S9 Dual SIM".
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Zenroid:
For anyone who are interested the Hong Kong version is dual SIM only with Qualcomm CPU and the sim2 slot can be used as SD card slot

http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/smartphones/galaxy-s9/spec/

The model name and number are different and I have been using the S9+ 128gb version SM-G9650/DS
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] bethedealer:
Hong Kong version is hybrid dual SIM with SD 845.

Other versions sold here are parallel imports.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ermacwins:
So use 2 sims or 1 sim and microsd card?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] bethedealer:
1st Sim slot - Sim

2nd Sim slot - Sim or SD card
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] fmtrx:
thank you for this info. I have been reading here

someone saying that "one has single sim has two sims. it is simple as that"

No it is not so simple.

He failed to provide this useful info YOU gave and which makes it a dealbreaker. Because i want to buy a dual sim which also has an sd card slot available

(non hybrid).

This changes all. I have put for sale my single sim s8 plus in order to buy a dual sim s9plus.

Now i will keep my s8plus and continuew using my good old s3 for my work phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] u0aol:
Sorry to be that guy, but this is wrong.

I have a Duos s9+ running on a Snapdragon 845. (G9650/Argentina so Chinese Snapdragon, OEM Unlock and Root capable. YAY) It is, as you said, a hybrid tray, so will accept either two sims, or one sim and an SD card.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the processor.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] EternalTaiga:
for HK version , I think it has one difference, one's slot can support SD cards.

I got HTC to replace the casing on my Artemis after I dropped it for 65UKP all in. Looks brand new now. Bear in mind they deal with the Orbit's *slightly* differently as the innards are the same but the case slightly different.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firefairy:
I have been rooting my phones and installing custom ROMs on them for years, so not a complete noob, but today something happened that has me thoroughly creeped out, and I don't even know where to start with troubleshooting it.

Phone is a Nexus 6p which has been working fine, running stock 7.1.1, has root via SuperSU, has Xposed, has firewall, has adblocker. Does have Excel and Word installed. Does not have anything that explicitly involves Cortana.

My netbook recently did a (very badly timed) complete version upgrade of Windows 10, which, among other things, reactivated Cortana, and I haven't gotten around to excising her and going back to plain search yet. A moment ago, I received a notification that I had messages on my phone, and did I want to see them on this computer?

I very much want to remove this capability, but at this point, I am not even sure uninstalling the Microsoft stuff from the phone will do it, since I don't know how this got activated. What do I even look for?

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
Different opinions are welcomed if constructive. Not everyone can like every phone. It would be boring if we only liked one phone ?

However, the Register review is a poorly written , and more click bait. I didn’t realised it was the same review called out on twitter by one of the key reviewers, Alex Dobie, at Android Central, being of poor content etc.. I think the comment that it lacks micro sd card is a major flaw is daft. Does that mean every iPhone sold, Pixel Xiaomi etc that’s uses only internal storage is flawed. Internal storage is faster and more reliable. However, I do understand some people like a micro sd card and might need one too.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] easycure1974:
But Gavin, don’t you think it is strange to have SD as option in the P20 Lite but not in the flagship P20 Pro? I think it is as very strange and bad choice from Huawei. If the P20 lite didn’t have it I would not be as silly not to have it on the Pro but for now I think it is plain stupid
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
No. The lite is nothing close to the Pro other than in name. It's a budget offering only and therefore cheaper pricing is needed.

When you're taking photos and having tons of computational photography internal storage is the best option by miles. Same reason other top end phones do this.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] easycure1974:
I don’t buy that thinking. People will see the P20 Lite and Pro as the same kind of phone and don’t understand why the cheaper one has SD support and not the expensive one. Already heard lots of people thinking this is stupid. And the SD card is fast enough for most of the camera options so that the internal storage is best by miles is a bad expression for most scenarios. They should have let people decide if they wanna use a SD card or not. Even Samsung is letting people use SD card in the S9 series

However what is of interest if these shots were taken as a "point and shoot" or if the pro mode was used. For me, I hardly have time to fiddle around with settings and would prefer to get a good shot with automatic controls ( most of the time )
