[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] rickwyatt:
Let me start by saying this I have read thru xda-developers forum, and put together a tutorial for whoever get stuck at 4 color-screen or bootloader mode

1. Download mtty v1.42 from http://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/mtty1.42.rar

2. Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete) kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe

3. put your device into Bootloader Mode by pressing Power + Record Button and Soft Reset.

4. Run mtty (from downloaded) Choose WCEUSBSH001 (If you only see COM 1 and COM 2, try unplugging the USB and replugging it)

5. type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.

6. type "task 28" to get your device formatted

7. type "task 0" to ask your device reboot

8. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.

good luck.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] simplepinoi177:
I had just updated to April update patch. For whatever reason I was going through the options at bootloader and noticed....there is no longer an option for Download Mode? Just Bootloader, Recovery, Barcode (? whatever that is), Power Off, and Restart. I'm not really up-to-date on these kinda things so, for all I know, this was implemented way back when on February or March update patch. In any case, I did search through this (Pixel 2 XL) thread for keyword "Download Mode", and not much came up; certainly no mention, yet, of it being taken off/away.

Doesn't look like the ol' Odin methods gonna be an option for the Pixel 2 and/or Oreo or P...

In the end, was there any use or method that Download Mode was used (at least for the Pixel 2's)? I mean, we update/reflash through adb and fastboot and applying root patches usually go through Magisk modules... But I came from the Galaxy S5, so Odin is still current and very much in use in my head/timeframe...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Couple points of clarification before I answer...

1. Odin is a tool for Samsung Devices.

2. The device has download mode still

3. Download mode is not the same on Samsung devices as it is other devices. Download mode on Samsung is more like bootloader.

So with that said...

I think you may have been mistaken. There is has never been a download mode that is user friendly like Samsung devices.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] simplepinoi177:
Thank you [MENTION=426561]Scott[/MENTION] ! I wasn't aware of a whole bunch of that...

Okay...some things...

1) I wasn't aware Odin was only for Samsung. I thought it was a whole Android mobile OS thing... And with that assumption, I would've thought that Odin was applicable to a whole lot other phones/manufacturers.

2) When researching if anybody has brought this up (at least in this thread), I did see a thread talking about using Download Mode to update the monthly updates. I'm going to check that right now and see how it goes...

If anything, Download Mode used to be "selectable" in Bootloader mode. It was actually colored green rather than the red for Recovery and Bootloader. It no longer is there; at least for 8.1 April update. Also, I've tried to enter it using the Magisk app -- reboot to download, but it merely rebooted like regular... You might want to check on that.

3) same response as 1). But yes, it does seem that most of the stuff I did in Download Mode with Odin is what I simply do in Bootloader Mode for the Pixel 2.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Its there man. I have been in and out of it for the past couple weeks.

To get to download mode on this phone (and most LG's) simple hold the volume up button and connect the USB cable while the phone is powered down.

This will bring you to download mode.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Not meaning to sound like a noob, but doing this allows you to............?????
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Enter download mode to factory program the device. Its a factory service mode.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Ah! Much obliged. I'll leave that one to you programmers! I'd just blow it up if I tried anything like that :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] simplepinoi177:
LOL! Thanx for inquiring Badger! I was wondering as well...

Hmmm that's interesting! I've never had a Google or LG phone...

Well...I guess I was mistaken as there is that mode -- just a special way to get into it! But, as I said previous, at the very least they took it out of the selections in Bootloader...And I've seen it rather easily accessible and obvious from Motorola Droids and Samsung Galaxies over the years, so I found it interesting that after all this time they [finally] removed the easier way to access it...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bot42:
Well actually LG download mode is exactly like Samsung's, it's a holdover going back to the LG transformer that used TouchWiz UI. If it's not in the fastboot setting you can still manually boot to it by powering off the phone. Then press and hold the volume up button while plugging in the USB c
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Fear_The_Fluff:
For those of you who use google voice with sprint. It looks like they are getting rid of the Google Voice for Sprint phones starting June 1st 2018.

It says you can port the phone line over (the port option is suppose to cost $20 USD), but I am not seeing that option on my account. I am looking on the Google site where they notified everyone and it looks like I am not the only one with the issue.

If I figure out how to do the port, I will update this page.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] ral 1988:
Even in the legacy section of the website.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Fear_The_Fluff:
Yup I got an option to disable, but thats it. One person said they can forward a GV number to the phone, but it is very limited. I went to the port status page, it firsts checks to see if your number is portable, and it tells me mine isn't.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Shad Stang:
Anyone know of any good alternatives? I know I can't use Hangouts SMS and readable voicemail w/o Google voice.

Edit: So far MightyText (Edit2: changed to mysms) and YouMail seem to be good. But text to voicemail is paid.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Fear_The_Fluff:
Same here, I may end up just leaving sprint because of this. I got two phones with lineage on it and I can't use VM and messaging on my computer without it.
[General Questions and Answers] Finim:
I was asked to solve this problem by a woman I know.

She got this phone, S7 edge, SM-G935F, through her relative.

Her relative, bought this phone from internet and it had network lock.

I know this is a very repetitive story in this community but I didnt really find a solution.

First thing i did is see the message by plugging in my local SIM (Saudi Arabia cuz i live here) "SIM network pin blocked enter sim network puk"

and then I factory reset the phone to clear out some stuff that she has downloaded (just to remove possible errors.)

So found out that the phone is an international version, and the csc code suggests that its for Spain(?) (PHE) (And also when I factory reset the device and turned it on, the language on device was Spanish for the setup)

I was in Europe for a trip for about 2 weeks, so I had a Vodafone SIM from Czech republic. When I plugged that in, it did not say network locked, instead it proceeded to roaming state.

Now I'm wondering> The phone does not have a brand neither on the phone itself nor systemically. So I have no idea which network it's locked to (I'm thinking it's Europe tho (in general))

But from the vodafone sim working on it, is it possible that this phone is locked to vodafone? or is it the Saudi SIM that's locked to work on other regional versions of phones?

Because this will decide if I need the network unlock code from European service providers or Saudi ones.. I'm actually thinking of changing the firmware if that will unlock the phone. Is this possible as well?

Thank you in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stewarta13wsb:
I have a sim free UK Note 8. Since the much anticipated Oreo update I seem to be having little glitches/delays with some actions but my main issue is with the SPen.

When I take it put I get my normal star wars light sabre sound, the screen pops up as normal but the pen doesn't register on the screen? Fingers do but not the pen. If I reinsert it the screen goes away again as normal.

Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
Try with another S pen, if it works fine, then the s pen is faulty, otherwise, the ptoblem is within the device itself
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Are you rooted, running any mods, etc.? A factory reset might help too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stewarta13wsb:
No root no mods just normal phone. I changed the tip of the pen this morning and it's working but I'm not convinced that would sort it. Maybe it's intermittent. Thanks for comments so far, I'll report back. Does a factory reset lose everything - so backup with samsung & google?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Ok cool. Yes a factory reset would wipe data so make sure you backup before going that route. Although if the pen works now that suggests it's hardware rather than software (i.e. no need for a reset). Maybe the tip was just loose or something.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidNewbie9000:
Hello All,

I have a Galaxy S5 that I must keep encrypted because it is a work phone and my workplace requires that it be encrypted.

I recently tried to add an SD Card (tried 3 different sizes and 3 different brands) and got the dreaded cannot mount cannot encrypt error loop.

I searched the net and found numerous complaints that all seem to point to the Android OS rather than a specific phone. I am using 6.0.1 on my phone.

I did not find any solution posted anywhere.

I am wondering though, has anyone tried to decrypt the phone, unlock the screen, add the sd card, then re-lock the screen, and re-encypt the phone ?

I did not see anyone post anywhere that they tried this.

Any helpful hints appreciated.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidNewbie9000:
It Is Not Fixed

I have tried every method I have found from searches including ones from later Samsung unit forums and none of them work.

The only thing I have not tried is factory reset because it is a work phone and it will blow away all of the work apps and getting them restored will take weeks.

I cannot even try to decrypt the phone because it is Marshmallow 6.0.1 and decrypt does not work. You have to factory reset the phone to start all over.

I have decided to leave the micro sd card in the phone in the hopes that next OTA update will see it and apply some fix to allow it to work.

This Encyption stuff is really a doomsday. I have an identical phone slightly older but still a Samsung Galaxy S5 with Marshmallow 6.0.1 unencrypted and it takes the micro SD card with no problems and works great.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ENCRYPT YOUR PHONE, JUST DO NOT!!!

The encryption does not really work anyway. If you connect your phone to a pc and enter your password for the lock screen, all of your internal files are visible once you tap file transfer from the notification pull down.

So encryption does nothing beyond the lock screen. If someone can bust your lock screen password, they've got everything.

Is it possible to hide the Volte icon in the status bar but still use Volte?

There is not much space in the status bar with a notch so it would be nice.

Also, is it possible to move some of the icons on the left side to the right of the notch?

[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Ephixi4:
I don't think so.

Did you try notification numbers instead of app icons? Makes it clearer on the status bar.

Hoping that Huawei might allow hiding notification icons, because with notched phone it's really necessary. At least VoLTE (Possibly also NFC) icons are not really needed there and are just waste on notification bar :rolleyes:

Bought it from amazon and been using it for a week, phenomenal battery life, no excessive heat and the case that comes with it is quite good and rugged.

Ask me any questions if you have any.
[LG V20 Accessories] xdamember143:
Price ? And battery life
[LG V20 Accessories] haruyukisama:
It's $36.99 on Amazon and I got 3 days with heavy usage. Gaming, Netflix, Hulu etc. It's a monster in terms of battery life.
[LG V20 Accessories] xdamember143:
Ok cool what about charge time ?
[LG V20 Accessories] haruyukisama:
I honestly don't know. One time it got down to 20% after about close of two and a half days of use and I plugged it in before I went to bed and in the morning it's at 100% (around 7 hours of sleep).

The first day I got it I plugged it in and charged it for about 8 hours even though it has 80% charge out the box just to make sure.
[LG V20 Accessories] jaysonic88:
Does it support NFC? Specifically Android Pay. I use that all the time and the only battery case i've seen that supports it is the Mugen (which works great BTW).
[LG V20 Accessories] haruyukisama:
Sadly it doesn't support nfc. I even tried to transplant the ncf antenna from the original battery door to the new extended battery case but the groove is too deep and it didn't work :crying:
[LG V20 Accessories] jaysonic88:
Thanks for the reply. Still looks like a cool battery case. As for not having NFC ability i'd guess( may be wrong) is probably not a factor to most people.
[LG V20 Accessories] haruyukisama:
Yeah, I don't use Android pay so I can't say that nfc is that important to me.
[LG V20 Accessories] joachim123:
So i don't have this exact item, i have the Zerolemon battery/case, pretty much the same looking case.

I bought a triple pack of these (when the triple pack was available) just so I had room for error.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/NFC-Antenn...LS997-VS995-/142761205846?hash=item213d3b2056

The trick isn't getting it on the case, it's getting it on the phone, then actually using it. I got it prety much in a spot now where i can have google pay work 80-90% of the time, otherwise the card terminal thinks I'm placing multiple cards on the reader. I have to generally tilt the phone sideways a bit and hold it at an angle for it to detect properly @ Walgreens.

I got the LG V20 Battery Perfine 6400mAh and am pretty happy with it - have had it for some time now. It was like the feel of having a whole new mobile when I put it on. 6400mAh has been enough for me for a whole day and I don't remember that iv had any day that it could not go through a day of work as of yet. Maybe I need to do some harder use on it but overall it seems I don't need something with more juice then this.

I experienced no heat. Not charging, Hulu watching or game playing or using apps in general.
[LG V20 Accessories] WhiteSnake91:
This may be the extended battery I go for, 10000mah capacity at ~35 bucks seems like a good deal, I was a little wary of spending 60 on the zerolemon. Still debating it all, maybe a cheaper 6600mah would serve me ok even. Have any of these companies been proven to be the most "reliable" 3rd party extended battery or is it literally a crapshoot?

You'd figure judging by them costing double what others do that the ZeroLemon would be the best in theory but idk.
[LG V20 Accessories] alpha-niner64:
ZeroLemon is legit. They design/manufacture their own battery and cases for said battery. Fly-by companies simply steal the design; which is what I see in the Perfine battery, straight down to the case-integration. Maybe the Perfine/iPosible (not a typo) are the crapshoots, but there's no doubt that ZeroLemon is also a crapshoot. They've got a solid reputation since 2012 right next to Hyperion and MugenPower.

[LG V20 Accessories] WhiteSnake91:
does anybody know if the zerolemon 10k mah battery's case is all flimsy like the ipossible one was? How about this perfine battery? Is the perfine case flimsy?

I'm in desparate need of an extended battery, the stock battery life on the v20 is extremely disappointing even at 90% health...32% at 2:30 SoT vs an iphone SE at 88% with 2:45 SoT...I could even get 6 hours SoT out of an old iphone 6S that was down to 87% battery health.

I'd like to keep the phone since the performance is actually quite decent now on oreo but battery life is a joke and the worst out of ANY phone I've had in my entire life. I previously tried an ipossible 10k extended battery but the case sucked and was very flimsy, when holding the phone normally in my hand it was triggering both volume buttons at once so I had to refund it. I may even settle for a powerbear 6600mah battery for a nice compromise between battery life and not being a big brick lol.
[LG V20 Accessories] moist_line:
I am currently testing powerbear 6500mah with perfine case on and it seems pretty solid. The battery however is kind of loose... I also bought the zero lemon but will be returning it today due to its size...

Just be careful with batteries because some of them don't fully go up to advertised capacity. My powerbear is estimated at 6100mah (1st cycle) according to accubattery but I will test it out further.

I recently bought a prefine 10000 mag extended battery. I have only discharged it fully twice on the second discharge I was able to get 14 hours of SOT over 3 days and 10 hours. It's just as good as the ZeroLemon thus far and a lot cheaper.
