[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] alvinlwh:
Wondering, anyone got this problem of having multiple entries for the same persons in their phonebook. I only sync my contacts from Google Contacts, which only have less than 50 in it, but on my phone, there are over 100 contacts. Some person have 5 or 6 entries listed against them. When I delete one, all are gone including the one in Google (confirmed from Google Contacts website). It is NOT a case of having multiple entries of the same person as they are not repeated in Google Contacts. It is not a case of me having to merge contacts as there is nothing to merge. They are effectively the same entry repeating itself on the phone's phonebook.

I am using stock B09 ROM for A2017G with the stock Contacts app.

I noticed that those repeats are the ones which I have live chats on WhatsApp, BUT, it does not matter if I select WhasApp under "Contacts to display" or not.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] yoavtabakman:
Had the same problem in my davice. The fix for me was to clear data and cache for all the related apps such- phone, contact, contact sync, ext. Than re-sync the account.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] An Droid:
As above - delete data for the "Contacts Storage" app and then re-sync.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] hgmichna:
All contacts duplicated. How to remove

I have the same problem, apparently caused by the "OnePlus Switch" app, and tried to do just that. But on my new OnePlus 6T I cannot find any "Contacts Storage" app. Deleting data of the "Contacts" app does not cut it.

What can I do?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xzero012:
What could be wrong with my phone?

The graphic glitch even happens on the samsung logo - way before it boots. Sometimes, it's stuck on the galaxy note 4 logo. And then sometimes, it would also crash with a loud, static noise.

I cannot simulate what triggers the behavoir. There are instances that it will boot infinitely until it finally reaches the homescreen. Doing a clear cache helps, but not 100%.

Phone is usable, but is not reliable once it does that.

Here are videos I've taken of it happening.

Before you play it, LOWER the VOLUME because it really is a loud crashing sound. It happens on the second video.

[YOUTUBE]EX34dOYBgyY[/YOUTUBE]

It can boot once it gets through that hiccup, but it can be annoying.

I hope you can help me.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldfread:
Hi, no it isn't at all the same issue as I can see. The phone will boot-up to Lineage. Parts of the screen will work others won't. Unlucky for me the parts of the screen I need to work TWERP are just those screen segments or blocks of pixels I need. Bummer :(

Finding a working of my stock OS has been a non starter. All the d/l's I've found have all been corrupted.

There has to be somewhere on the net that keeps a working suppository of hash checkable stock-were?????

Thanks

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] frozonecom:
Hello, as the title suggests, has anyone achieved VPN connection tethering thru wifi? I can't seem to make VPN Hotspot(an app by a developer here on XDA) work, but by using PDANET+, it works. Can anyone help me?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] smartymcfly:
Works fine for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] morrowa2:
Here's my setup. I'm subscribed to NordVPN, and use an app called TetherNet VPN. Must be rooted. The key is to go into Developer settings, and turn off "tethering hardware acceleration."

It also depends on the order that you do things:

1) turn on your mobile hotspot, and connect your computer or whichever device you want, I usually let it stay connected for 10 min or so before step 2)

2) Connect to your VPN

3) Open TetherNet VPN and tap "Share VPN on Hotspot."

4) Enjoy fast, unlimited tethering.

When you wish to turn it off. I find it best to turn off the hotspot first, then disconnect from VPN tethering. Data connection gets a little wonky if you disconnect from VPN first. Also helps to reboot the device afterward.

It's a bit of a procedure, but well worth it if you ask me to get around Verizon's BS games.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] besweeet:
Not possible for root? With PdaNet+, the client device doesn't see the hotspot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] W00fer:
Many thanks for this. Your app seems to work. The app VPN Hotspot doesn't work for me for some reason.

My device is on Android 5.1.1 and VPN Hotspot requires some newer operating systems.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] jan1000:
Unfortunatly The Mix 2s seems to have very, very bad audio recording quality.

See the review of TechTablets:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLbYuLW7gbw

What I don't understand, the issue of bad audio quality is there for many Xiaomi devices.

Is then no-one testing this at Xiaomi ? These bad reviews will have negative impact on sales.

And most of the time the fix is easy.

The Mix 2 also suffers from the same issue:

]http://en.miui.com/thread-1730106-1-1.html

And same issue for Mi Max 2: http://en.miui.com/thread-730427-1-1.html

Some suggested workarounds, hopefully they also work on the Mix 2s:

- https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/6zbper/mi_max_2_workaround_for_noise_cancellation_mess/

- https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/6txqjt/i_discovered_something_about_the_mi_max_2s_poor/

- http://en.miui.com/thread-965057-1-1.html

Hopefully Xiami will fix this very soon, it will bring them more sales i think.

Anyone any ideas on how to fix this on the Mix 2s ? (hope to receive mine in 2 weeks :))
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] Flatric:
I think if you sell a phone so much cheaper than other companys you have to make the cut somewhere... If they use a mic that costs 2$ more in production it's already 200000$ if they produce 100000 units
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] masterbox:
This is a deal breaker for me, as I mainly record videos...

Too bad I was about to buy it in China next week...
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] Flatric:
According to most reviews it's something that can be fixed with software update by xiaomi so maybe you are lucky
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] tunichi01:
I really hope it can be fixed with a software update... the mic quality sounds poor and I was let down since I regularly call. Overall the phone ticks everything I want.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] Cameradog:
One substitution I discovered is to use Open Camera App. In video setting, select 'default audio source' in audio source option and 'stereo' in audio source channel option. I tried this setting on my Mi Mix 2s MIUI 9 and it works so much better than the default camera app.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] hypern0va:
Hi, could you post a sample video?

I've read about people trying to fix this problem in the same way with the Mi Mix 2 but it didn't work at the time. A comparison between the two input sources would be great to understand better the difference. Thanks.

Hi there, I recorded two samples using default camera app and open camera app.

I would like to draw on the subject, I can confirm the same problem with MI A2.

I came to the solution using Open Camera:

[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] hsn97:
While the phone is lying on a table or on bed, if you try pulling down the status bar, using just one finger without touching the sides of the phone, it just won't pull down, it would like block the touch for that even though it'd register touches for usual taps and swipes.

Even stranger behavior is while it won't be pulling down while it's lying on the table and the sides of the phone are not being touched, if you even slightly touch the side of the phone and then swipe down status bar, it'd work perfectly. That's one of the strangest things I've seen in a phone.

There's no issues while holding and using the phone btw.

Please answer back if you're facing the same issue or try replicating what I said with your device and report the behavior below, would be greatly appreciated!

Woke up this morning to find a pending update on my VS996. After the installation, I noticed the V30 ThinQ splash screen. I now have software version VS99620b with the AI camera. Gotta love the fast updates on this phone. Btw - I'm located in North Carolina.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Uh, it's not fast updates. ;) Verizon is just catching up with LG's "complete" Oreo for V30. For some reason Verizon first gave their customers Oreo with ThinQ stripped out, then changed their minds.

Everyone else who already has Oreo got the ThinQ IN the Oreo update. Verizon for some strange reason did it in two parts. Oreo, then Thin Q -- instead of all-in-one. AT&T, Sprint, Europe, Canada, regional carriers (AS998) all have had Oreo WITH ThinQ as ONE update.

Seems Verizon was going to shaft their customers, then decided to add the ThinQ thing after all.

That site is useful for some, but not others. For instance it still doesn't have the AT&T Oreo (I don't need it, as I have US998), and I don't think it has the Sprint Oreo either. Because no one snagged them and uploaded them to the site. It's a user-supplied repository for LG firmware and is not associated with LG corporation in any way. Basically it's for people like us.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] mnarijnm:
Hi buddy,

This is really strange that your phone is hard bricked after some data transfer.

The only advice I can give is try to search for: "hard bricked oneplus 3(t)" and follow the instruction.

If your phone is not seen as a qualcomm device when you follow the instruction than it could be that you phone is 'dead' by damage from the cable! It's just a guess from my side.

Edit: did you tried power + volume up/down?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
A battery failure can do that. I would leave it for a few hours and the see if it turns on. If not, try charging it for a few minutes and then try turning it in with the power cable still connected.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Zabson7:
Try press and hold the power key for like 20 seconds after it vibrates release the power key and press it again when the soft keys light shows up... Hope it'll help.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] phendrome:
Make sure your device is properly turned off first of all. You can do that by turning off the device via fastboot menu.

After that, when you are sure device is turned off... make sure to hold 30 seconds... do a little longer even, and plug it in to the USB that is connected to the PC.

I personally did that and it worked well. I also just rebooted my PC and it literally had been on for a couple of seconds, maybe 30 seconds. Started MSM in administrative mode and pressed start. Connected and installation went through.

Had same issues like you before that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] callmejoe9:
first time trying to root phone. still have some questions.

i have the sgh-i317.

i want to go from kit kat to marsmallow.

are these the right steps?

1. root phone - does phone have to be unlocked first or does CF autoroot take care of that?

- cf autoroot looks like it provides a stock recovery. from what i read i think i need something like the ClockworkMod recovery to flash a custom rom. is that right?

2. flash rom

does it matter which ROM?

i see 2 that are popular - cyanide and resurrection remix

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
No need to root the phone before installing a custom recovery.

I recommend TWRP over cwm as cwm is very outdated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] callmejoe9:
seems the more reading i do the more confused i get. just trying not to brick my phone.

1. i've read that the bootloader needs to be unlocked in order to install custom roms. is that true? i cant seem to figure out if mine is locked or not

2. next i need to install a custom recovery like TWRP?

3. then the custom rom? like resurrection rom

do i need to be rooted for any of these steps to work?
