[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdawg89:
Ok, I know this isn't exactly an Android related problem, but I have no one else to help, so here goes nothing...

2 days ago I received a Teclast Tbook that had nothing on it. All I could do was access the BIOS.

I tried making a bootable flash drive and installing windows, but it didn't work, so I searched for a usb cable (the tablet only has usb-a ports) and finally found a usb-a to usb-a, so I downloaded everything I needed and was able to flash Android. It's buggy as hell, but it works. After that I decided to give Windows another go and made another bootable flash. This time it worked... Kinda.

I get a cmd windows and the installation starts, but it never gets to a 100%. I tried different setting in the bios and eventually broke everything... I turned fastboot on and tried to install again and that was it.

I can still access Android, but I can't get to the BIOS. I get a OEM1 ACPI Table Parse Error and it goes into bootloop until I press every key possible and get it to boot to Android.

There isn't a whole lot of information about this device online and I've searched and followed every guide I was able to find, but I'm still stuck. I hope someone here has experience with it and can assist me in some way.

Is there a way to change the default app (Gallery) that is used to view photos from within the stock camera app?

I've had to disable the stock gallery app, because it was causing issues with other apps, and have installed Google Photos. But when I try to view a photo after taking it the camera app says 'Unable to find application to perform this action'.

I can't find any option in the camera app settings.

Thanks.

After unlocking the bootloader, I have a problem charging the phone battery and the phone itself.

When I plug the charger cable, the phone goes out.

If it is a 40% battery, it drops to 0% and goes out, and in the next 10-15 minutes does not charge, and the indicator flashes.

When the phone is off, when the battery is fully charged, the charging icon starts blinking, and then enters the custom TWRP recovery.

Еxcuse me for the English.

I see on internet some ebay saler , who sales antena for Nokia N95 which allow user to listen FM without the headset. So maybe a firm 'll be produce a little usb antenna with some particular resistance which can be remplace headset!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] wis38:
Y cable

The Y cable allows to run the radio app w/o registry tricks, and the 10cm cable provides some antenna capabilities although being too short.

Remember good antennas made with wires are dipoles dimensioned on the FM wavelength, aka 9.84' or 3mt for 100MHz frequency. The only way to get such length is using the headphone cable as all cellphone producers do.

[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] geier86:
Every time I try to install a custom rom, my device gets bricked. I'm stuck in a bootloop and TWRP tells me, that /data is unusable and /system can't be unmounted.

Right now I get I back to life, if I change the filesystem in TWRP for /data from f2fs to ext4 and back. After that /data is empty, but usable again. To get /system back to work, I erase it with "fastboot erase system". Then I reboot TWRP and reinstall STF-L09 8.0.0.360(C432) with zxz0O0s HuRUpdater. The logfile for the installation is attached with the title "Log during installation.zip".

After the installation I do a reboot and go through all the setup stuff of Android (WLAN, do you want to use..., etc.). Then everything seems to work fine. I can use the phone and reboot without a problem. But if I start TWRP, there are error messages about it can't unmount /system. I attached that logfile with the title "Log after Installation.zip". If I try to install an OTA update it gets bricked again.

No matter, how I try to install the custom rom, or how I reset my phone after it gets bricked, seems to make a difference. To me it seems like, either a problem with the file system, or a driver problem. But I'm not sure, because I'm more experienced with PCs. If I would have such a problem with a PC, I would erase everything and do a fresh start. But I don't know how to handle this here.

Please help me, to get out of this bricking cycle, before I can build a wall.

Status Update 1:

I went back to STF-L09C432B120 (Android 7) with this method: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75084955&postcount=17

All credits to gaguga:

Rollback from 8 android to 7

1. Place the firmware files of ?any? android 7 update.zip, update_data_public.zip and update_all_hw.zip in the HWOTA8 / repack folder. (I used STF-L09C432B120)

2. Run the bat file "repack" to repackage the zip files. This will prepare our firmware

I had a problem with this and had to update the file META-INF\com\google\android\update-binary by hand.

3. Create the folder "HWOTA8" on the SD card. (Without quotes)

4. Place the archive hwota8_update.zip, STF_RECOVERY8_NoCheck.IMG (from the HWOTA8 folder) and the three update archives (update.zip, update_data_public.zip and update_all_hw.zip (from the repack folder after repackaging)) to the "HWOTA8" folder on the sd card.

5. Boot into the TWRP

6. Install the hwota8_update.zip file which lies in the HWOTA8 folder on the sd card. The phone will reboot into the recovery mode and install the update automatically.

7. After the rollback, boot into recovery and make a reset

This was the first time, that I was able use the original recovery without problems.

I think I will try to do a rebrand at the weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mtsingson:
Hi,

Is there a way to calibrate the Spen? Its accurate for about 90% of the screen but when i move to the left most part of the screen it doesnt follow. It stops about 1/4 of an inch and doesnt reach the end of the screen

I dont have any case on it

No screen protectors as well

No magnetic items to interfere with the spen

Tried the "touch all four corners" trick but didnt fix it

Any other ideas?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
I dont think that the issue is the s pen, it is most likely the screen digitizer, if the s pen was faulty, the problem would arise anywhere on the screen, take your device for warranty claim ASAP
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OnnoJ:
Try changing or reinstalling the SPen tip...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
I agree. The walcom digitizer is probably broken.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mtsingson:
Thanks for the suggestions guys. Tried it with a different Spen from another Note 8. Still the same problem. My digitizer must be broken. Ill send it for repairs. First time to claim warranty on a samsung Note product since the Note 1. Note 7 is an exception since that was just faulty for everyone

The note 7 was not faulty for me, I still have it, works really fine
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mtsingson:
Just got my note back from the service center. took them one day to fix it. You guys were right, it was a faulty digitizer.

lucky for me. they changed the whole screen assembly, i now have a new scratcheless screen. They also said they replaced the battery since the front assembly comes with a new battery since its suppose to be glued to it

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] HamiTakar:
Hi guys

I have the same problem .If I replace just touch screen ,will the problem be solved???Or is it LCD?

Because I disconnected touch screen cable and saw that pen digitizer still is working and I guessed that pen digitizer is connected to LCD?Am I right??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
It seems that the majority of the Note 7s that had issues with the battery were restricted to the US. As I can't find issues with the Note 7 in other regions of the world...

You need to replace the entire AMOLED display under the glass panel, which is no easy task. As you need a very clean room to do it to ensure that you do not have any specs of dust on it.

Hello, I have a problem with my phone for a while, it overheats a lot, and the battery is empty in 1 hour, I noticed that I have also since a problem with the WIFi (no longer works) I replaced the battery , changed rom, always the same, someone would have a solution.

If not how to disable the reception in wifi (hardware) I think my phone is still looking for network and this could explain the overheating and fast emptying of the battery

The drainage of battery is caused by the wifi keeping switching on and off, which also causing overheat. If the solutions don't work for you, the only way is replacing the motherboard.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] gobananasnet:
Issue: Google Account Contacts Sync not working correctly resulting in some contacts missing. The phone shows the same number of Google Contacts as the website shows for Google Contacts, but the phone does not have them all, including our son's contact which is what made this issue obvious.

Stats: Two bran new stock LG V30 phones T-Mobile version purchased from a physical T-Mobile store and running Android 8.0 via LG Bridge software for the update.

Steps taken already:

NOTE: I have never had a phone do this with the Google Contacts before, and I've had many.

NOTE: The issues was present both before and after the Android 8.0 update and before and after any apps installed [I only install from the Play Store no side loads either].

Four times removed the Google Account and rebooted and added account back in, with no resolve.

Three times a factory reset, with no resolve.

Once replaced with another new phone from the T-Mobile store, with no resolve.

Spoke with T-Mobile tech support engineering, of course they've never heard of the issue before, and suggested the steps I've already taken. No resolve.

Emailed LG with no response after four business days. No resolve.

I've tested the Google Contacts on other phones with no issues with the Google Contacts, ZTE ZMax Pro Z981, Samsung Galaxy S5, BLU Bold Studio 6 lte, etc. and all Google Contacts worked fine on all of them.

Added later. Ooops I should have also mentioned that when I force the Sync of the Google Account it often does not do anything, even if I have tested by making changes to a contact or added one.

This is crazy. What to do?

Thanks for reading,

Gone Bananas
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] gobananasnet:
Mystery Solved

Just spoke with Sandrina from T-Mobile and she helped figure out the problem. The Battery Saver on the LG V30 blocks Google Contacts from being able to Sync, even if you manually go in and try to force Sync. That surprised us both that it would even prevent a forced Sync. But sure enough, turning off the Battery Saver allowed Sync to happen. Thank You Sandrina from T-Mobile.

[Android Head-Units] Redbullssg:
I just installed a Clarion 3 watt amp to my joying... After doing so, I now have background noise from the head. When the screen is touched, hmi hear noise, when it thinks, I hear noise, when screen changes, anything, noise... Also, before I had the touch beep shut off, but now it is there, but very quiet and subtle... Odd..

Has anyone else had this issue, and is there a fix?
[Android Head-Units] etrefal:
A 3 watt amp? Was it worth the work? :) I'm kidding, it's obviously a typo.

Check your grounding points on both the radio and the amp, they need t be grounded on the same plane, else you'll get noises like you have now. That's my best guess for now.
[Android Head-Units] Redbullssg:
Lol, yeah, 3000w.... Oops another typo, let's try 300w...

I know the amp should be grounded well. It's a 6" X 6 gage lead straight to the body. The stereo, well, that's grounded through the cars ground wire that the OEM stereo was grounded.. If I could ground the amp straight to the battery, I would. But that would be a long lead.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Delgoth:
It will happen if a skilled enough coder wants it to. Row Hammer plus memory overflow, sounds like an attack vector for sure. Especially with an Eng Kernel/Rooted Device.

The fact that a method has not been made public means one of two things, A.) The people capable enough don't care about spending the effort when they probably have a google device. Or B.) The method has already been concocted, but it is being kept secret for data mining purposes. Like the Vault7 programs.

But it is good to know that Row Hammer has an entrance.

FlashFire is the most advanced on-device firmware flasher available for rooted Android devices. It can flash full firmware packages from various manufacturers, as well as apply over-the-air (OTA) and ZIP updates - all while maintaining root, and without using a custom recovery. It also offers full device backup and restore functionalities in several formats. Relevant files can be stored on internal storage, SD cards, USB connected storage, or can even be streamed directly to and from your computer using USB or Wi-Fi.

FlashFire is the spiritual successor to the Mobile ODIN app, which was a similar solution (using completely different methods under the hood) exclusively for Samsung devices on older Android versions.

FlashFire is an extremely powerful application, it should be used with caution. Data loss, soft-bricks, and even hard-bricks are possible if used incorrectly. Unless you are an expert user, consult FlashFire's website and this thread before doing anything potentially destructive.

If the FlashFire user interface crashes, please attach the logs of the crash to your post. The SysLog app can help.

If you are experiencing an issue while FlashFire is flashing, please post FlashFire's log file to pastebin, and include the link in your post. The log file can be found at /sdcard/FlashFire/lastlog on your device.

FlashFire's website/manual can be found at http://flashfire.chainfire.eu/.

Note: currently all functionality is unlocked without purchasing Pro. This may change in the future!

Changelogs:

- A/B OTA: Support for more variants

- Magisk support: Improved OTA flashing compatibility

- SuperSU: Updated to v2.82-SR4

- Backup: Exclude paths from backup

- Restore: FBE issue fixed

- Wipe: Add option to not wipe files from internal storage that aren't backed up

- ZIP: Open ZIPs from file managers and (Chrome) downloads directly, or share to FlashFire (file must resolvable to reside on /data):fingers-crossed:
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] demo360:
I got this phone new last year in March and I've had this issue for the about the past six months where my phone is missing calls, texts come late and my GPS doesn't really work.

People will call me and it will just keep ringing and eventually go to my voicemail and I don't even get a notification about missed calls, but if I call them while my phone is acting up the call goes through.

Text messages can just simply arrive late, it can be from 10 to 30 minutes apparently.

GPS was the first thing I noticed wasn't working, It seems occasionally it can work but I've only seen it happen once. My phone is still able to tell where I am for weather and the thing where google asks "Are you at this place?" but using GPS for navigation doesn't work, It doesn't update my location while driving, it still shows my location as where I started when I opened the GPS. I've tried turning location off and on and turning flight mode on and off, that did temporarily fix it once but it hasn't worked since. I've even tried factory resetting my phone which didn't really do anything.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] SchWeinSAuG:
hey guys,

might sound pretty stupid to some of you, but is it possible to make partition to the internal storage ?

I mean partitions that remain when i want to format data only on system partition.... and leave other partitions untouched

since the transfer speed is so slow, its a pain in the ass when i need to backup all data and retransfer it back to the phone...

or did i miss something essential that speeds up that process ? :cyclops:

Thanks , have a nice day
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] crime_of_heart:
Not sure if I understood you correctly, but partitioning is not a good idea not only on this phone but also on any new android phone. You will probably end up with a hard brick.

There are some alternatives though:

1. Use twrp recovery. When you format system or data, then your files will remain intact unless you also want to format whole internal storage.

2. Transfer your files using Wi-Fi via a good file manager such as Solid explorer. For that you will need to share a folder from your computer. Then you can simply transfer the files to your computer into that folder. Much faster transfer speeds (12 megabytes/sec in my case via 5ghz router)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hardcore515:
There is no need to be so aggressive :D

In my country/language when we say 9 it usually means 9:00, sometimes 21:00, but more often than not that's 9:00.

Imho 9 (with 24h clock) should mean 9:00.

In English it is just different I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Meemo23:
I didn't mean to be aggressive I am just saying we don't say set alarm for twenty one hundred hours. Well you can if you want. But if you say set alarm for nine you still have to say am or pm, otherwise it will pick up the nearest 9o'clock either pm or am so if you're past am and you wanted to set for 9am, it will set alarm for 9pm as it is the nearest. You have to say set alarm for tomorrow at 9am, I was just saying what you said made no sense but now I understand you're English is from a different place.
