I am confused, what's the difference between Princecomsys modified odin and the original odin?

So to flash G930A to U, Princecomsys modified odin IS NEEDED?

But to flash G930U back to 930A, original odin IS NEEDED?

And why?

Seems like my data connection has gone downhill since I did this. Probably coincidence, but I loaded this the other day and now have noticed slow data speeds. Still showing LTE+ with AT&T but speed tests show download speeds at less than 1 Mbps, if I can even get it to connect.

Seems like this May update broke my Android Auto. I updated to P Preview and AA worked fine. I reverted back to May and it doesn't work again. I reverted back to March and working fine again.

[About XDA developers] kuromusha38:
What is wrong with xda-developers.com?

It taskes like more than 15 seconds to load pages.
[About XDA developers] DSA:
The delay occured when xda switched to https (At least for me)

Try changing your theme or browser, see if that makes a difference
[About XDA developers] Ibuprophen:
I can't state for sure but, in addition to what [MENTION=4097982]DSA[/MENTION] had stated...

I think that it does stem from the XDA Server switching to Https but, the advertising as well as other items that the web page loads may be via Http.

If so, then this is what's called "Mixed Content/Mixed Domains" whereas the website loads content not only from the XDA Server but, content from other, outside the XDA Server, URL's using both the Https, Http, and possibly others.

Maybe [MENTION=450224]bitpushr[/MENTION], [MENTION=4752536]Wood Man[/MENTION] or [MENTION=335322]MikeChannon[/MENTION] (or another Admin) can confirm, deny or just state that I've won the "XDA Official Nut Case Award"... LMAO! :eek:

[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
Yup, there are multiple reasons including the ones you mention, but add to that the high volume of Users we have and the ever increasing size of our databases and a highly customized version of vBulletin. We have been aware of load times and it is always a focus for the Server Admins. The site has evolved and been added to with many non standard additions and we're at the limits of vBulletin, but like I say we do always have plans and have done things over time to improve things.

[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
We monitor load times constantly, usually based on our metrics pages should be loading within 1 or 2 seconds - with the ads there is sometimes a delay of up to 15s for a 'full' page load. Those external assets are mainly out of our control and can be removed by purchasing XDA ad free.

Regarding https - we made this switch over a year ago - there is no noticeable difference in load time based on switching to https. Actually, right after the move to https we were able to upgrade to http2 which allows the browser to load multiple assets in parallel faster and should actually have sped up the site for most people.

As [MENTION=335322]MikeChannon[/MENTION] stated XDA is based on older forum software. At our size it slows down noticably, and in particular if you have a lot of threads/posts, subscriptions and that sort of thing. For logged out users we already cache a ton of things, making the site very fast. We are in the process of rewriting the backend to make this faster for everyone. At present, the first time you load the page after a while we need to cache some user-specific items and this can delay page loading a few seconds.
[About XDA developers] Ibuprophen:
[MENTION=450224]bitpushr[/MENTION] & [MENTION=335322]MikeChannon[/MENTION], how does the the loading of XDA via the PC/Android Browser affected when the XDA server is accessed by way of other methods like the Tapatalk website as well as the various Apps too?

I mean the load on the Server Accessing the XDA Server using other methods besides using the traditional xda-developers URL from a browser.

I DO NOT provide support via PM unless asked/requested by myself. PLEASE keep it in the threads where everyone can share.
[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
Overall there is no impact, but each method has its own benefits/drawbacks. For example, I know when Tapatalk is first loaded - it loads all forums and is very slow to load.
[About XDA developers] Ibuprophen:
I see...

I wasn't sure of the impact on the server between the Apps and other sources and the typical browser access.

I've got a feeling that a percentage of members/guests accessing the forum via the browser is getting smaller and smaller as more and more members/guests are using Apps and other sources like the Tapatalk website.

Or is this percentage not something that has been looked at much?

So unless we buy ad free, long load times are a thing..

Yeah but I have Ublock installed, so ad shouldn't be an issue then. Still slow

WiFi Router Master - Detect Who is On My WiFi​

We all want to secure our WiFi Router, so no one can connect to our WiFi without owner permission, but sometimes it makes difficult to check who is connected to our WiFi. Sp, to make this task easy a app called WiFi Router Master - Detect Who is On My WiFi, by using this app you can easily manage and check who is connected to your WiFi and you can simply block them by just one click.

[IMG="main page"]https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gBf3li09VMA/WrnIjDGRnUI/AAAAAAAAMvU/II0yMrtMaQY0V-Zpp4tit06vxjuVoiy3QCEwYBhgL/s1600/WiFi%2BRouter%2BSetup%2B1.png[/IMG][IMG="Whi is on my wifi"]https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PIEtCByOR9I/WrnIivhagkI/AAAAAAAAMu0/MnZryvu-7MEYrsq3SkfG61xvLux0OigTQCEwYBhgL/s1600/WiFi%2BRouter%2BSetup%2B2.png[/IMG]

Do you want to know Who Use My WiFi?

Do you want to know if someone is connected to my wifi and wireless router?

Do you want to know if someone is stealing my wifi network speed without your permission?

Do you want to know if someone who is on My WiFi download something?

Do you want config your router setup page(router ip:192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1 etc.) quickly?

Do you want a simple way to change router settings?

Worried that neighbors may have access to router setup page or router admin page of your wireless router?

Don't worry, using WiFi Router Master can easily scan my wifi and see how many device connected to your wireless router/network router.

You can see all the devices that are connected to your WiFi with the help of this app. From there you can choose known or stranger to allow or block the access to your WiFi connection. You can also see the network real time speed directly from the main page of the app. You will see a clear graph to get a good idea about your WiFi download and upload speed.

There are many more apps developed by me such as speed test tools, wifi analyse tools, wifi signal meter, empty folder cleaner etc. You can install them from the below links:

Download the WiFi Router App From Here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.router.manager

I really recommend this app to secure your WiFi.
[Samsung Gear S3] terminatortimx:
Hi,

I'm considering buying a gear S3 if there's an app that can do one thing: simple time tracking. Note i don't mean activity tracking as in sports etc, I want to use the bezel to switch between work, play, chores etc. Like TimeFlip but on your wrist.

I can't find anything like this for the S3 by googling though. Does it exist?

Cheers, Tim.
[Samsung Gear S3] motrhelp:
+1, also want this. As a backup solution (since it's only work and reading that I want to track) I'll use Health app and "start workout" for a sport that doesn't track any GPS like yoga. You got the idea ;)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Lewis Charles:
I recently contacted support and here is their response:

Thank you for writing in. Actually, we are currently working to officially support the Huawei P20 Pro in the near future, but it is yet to be released because it is requiring major changes in the code. As it stands, it is not possible to implement manual white balance functionality and the device has no support for high bitrates.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] isko01:
So that's means P20 Pro wont get Filmic Pro because Huawei color OS?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Lewis Charles:
Not sure but they're definitely working on it. Here's some more info:

"It's my understanding that the Huawei P20 Pro has enough correct implementation of the Camera 2 API for FiLMiC Pro to support the device as soon as we get the white balance and bitrate issues handled."
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Bp_tec:
Have you tried using Open Camera on the P20 Pro yet?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Lewis Charles:

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Lewis Charles:

[General Questions and Answers] azlemad:
my daughter bought a cheap phone from a well known website here in Australia.

It is dual sim, I think it's a knock-off of a more expensive phone, the model number shows "R11max"

Seeems that no sim card we try will work, they all say "mobile network not availablke" when I try to make a call, text messages won't send, etc.

When I check in About Phone> Status> IMEI information, both SIM slots have the same IMEI.

I'm guessing we got ripped off, with a dodgy phone that somebody has slapped a dodgy IMEI onto, cloned /duplicate IMEIs which have already been banned from the network or something?

Do you think my theory is correct or what else could be causing this problem?

It's not legit for both slots to have the same IMEI is it?
[General Questions and Answers] the_scotsman:
Regarding IMEI - this is normal. some phones with 2 SIMs can have 1 IMEI. If the phone can only have 1 SIM active at a time, then only 1 IMEI is required. Only the true dual-SIM devices, where both SIMs can be active at once, require 2 IMEIs.

You can check the status of an IMEI for lost/stolen etc here: http://www.lost.amta.org.au/IMEI

Some sites give you more info on your device based on IMEI: http://www.imei.info/

Not sure about the network issues, but I came across this random thread while searching. Seems the R11Max is one cheap nasty piece of junk, sorry to say. You'll struggle to install any apps on it, because there's literally not enough storage. Anyway, have a read of that if you get time: https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1426197
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] tomjfmu:
BND-L34

My phone is bricked, I lost my drivers, and I lost the unlock code.

I deleted TWRP, and I need BND-L34 drivers to relock the bootloader.

I can't get into fastboot mode without adb drivers.

I plan on using the dload method after I relock the bootloader.

I also need the unlock code back, or a new one because I think my

huawei account was deleted.

I need:

link to BND-L34 drivers adb, fastboot

and a method to relock and reunlock the bootloader.

The goal is to get working fastboot, adb.

And I'm supposed to be fine after I get the drivers.

And the last goal is to get the bootloader relocked,

so I can get the phone unbricked, then unlock it after.

I tried installing the update.zip and other zips in TWRP but it wouldn't work.

Anyways thanks. :good:
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] adfurgerson:
There was a post on XDA 7X Telegram group by nahil stating he retrieved his unlock code from the bash history on his phone.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] tomjfmu:
Okay thanks, how will i get the drivers? I can't access my phone on my ADB on my PC anymore, I reinstalled my OS on my PC, idk if that has to do with it. Also where is this post? And what is bash history?
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
Also, the splash2 partition is the bootloader log section.

I found , but have not tried yet. A possible way to pull images from device without twrp

"fastboot oem dump emmc "partition name" "save location" "

If you can get that partition out and grep it for "unlock" perhaps you will find your code.

No special drivers are needed. Generic adb/fastboot drivers should be fine.

Search xda for 5 minute minimal adb /fastboot
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] adfurgerson:
Installing hisuite would probably be an easy way to get the drivers. I don't have a clue how to get to The Bash or search it.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
Bash history would only be of you are on Linux.

And to top has said he recently reinstalled his whole PC OS, so there would be no history anyway..

My finding of the unlock code on the splash2 partition seems to be possibly a dead end as I think the log file is overwritten
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] adfurgerson:
Thank you for that, I've never used Linux and Windows only if I must.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] tomjfmu:
When I plug the phone in and I have hisuite, I kinda don't have an os on my phone, like I said I was bricked. Is there another way besides the Hisuite?

does huawei have mate se adb drivers or anything on their website? Also is their a way I can re-get the unlock code back without history
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] darkmage1991:
if you installed hisuite than you have the drivers.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] tomjfmu:
It isn't recognizing it.

And that explains why the adb and fastboot doesn't work.

Update: I sent it in, and it's being fixed for me.

I'm up for it if its a z force edition but other than that nah. I don't wanna call and ask because knowing them, they'll know that I'm just trying to get a free upgrade lol

[Sony Xperia ZR] °Andrew°:
Is there a custom / modified kernel with the possibility of reducing the voltage of the processor for firmware 10.7.A.0.222 [Android 5.1.1] C5502?

I need such a kernel, because in the warm season of the year my smartphone with two or more cores at maximum frequency (1512 Mhz) is very hot, 60 - 75°C, because of this I can not use it normally, I have to turn off the screen and wait until it cools. Naturally, I can not normally play games, shoot videos, use a browser, do a backup in Recovery, in general, do what requires the work of two or more cores at maximum frequency. In this case, the room temperature is 21 - 24°C. And if it's still hot on the street, you can not even use the navigator on the street. And the memory card is located directly above the processor and because of this it is very hot and there is a big risk that it will be out of order.

Help me please.
[T-Mobile LG G4] texas7412:
I bought a new G4 h811 And i tried to unlock its boot loader via fastboot and when the phone is in adb reboot bootloader it doesn't detect the phone at all tried reconnecting and reinstalling drivers, the phone's S/W version is V20 i running 6.0 When i put it in fast boot also it freezes up and holding power to restart does nothing i have to take the battery out.. Help, Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G4] lesdense:
When you connect your H811 to your PC just, let's say, to transfer files or photos, is the phone detected? If not, I'd try a new cable just in case (sounds too simple but you never know). Also, when you connect to your PC what, if anything, shows up in Device Manager (assuming you're using a PC)?

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

I just looked up your other posts. You've been posting problems with an H811 since last August. Bricked after update, forced reboots, battery, camera, bricked, bricked, bootloader won't unlock. If all of these issues involved the same phone then I'd at least consider the possibility the phone has some hardware or firmware defect. Just a guess but that seems like a LOT of problems to have with one device.
[T-Mobile LG G4] texas7412:
That was my old G4, i bought a new one and i'm trying to unlock the bootloader to install twrp and custom roms, And the phone is detected normally yes if i try to take photos from it the computer will detect it but when its in fastboot mode it acts like its not plugged in.
[T-Mobile LG G4] lesdense:
I'm reluctant to keep posting what I'm sure you'll see as elementary ideas but just in case, have you tried a different computer to see if it too only "sees" your G4 under certain circumstances? That business about your phone freezing and needing the battery removed sure makes it sound as though there is some unusual incompatibility. If there is, hopefully your computer is the problem rather than your phone.
[T-Mobile LG G4] texas7412:
Okay, I tried a new cable and different PC But still wasn't detected in Fastboot mode It's only detected when the device is powered on and unlocked... My last LG G4 never did any of this.. Same phone as before except the imei of course and the S/W version is higher. But i don't see why that would make anything different with it So i have no clue on what to do now
[T-Mobile LG G4] texas7412:
Okay i figured it out finally! The driver from LG's website kept conflicting with the phone when plugged into the computer the phone kept reinstalling the driver for it and the driver from LG's site detected the driver from the phone being newer and kept failing to install. I booted the phone into the bootloader then installed the driver from LG's site while the phone was plugged in, I rebooted BOTH phone and computer and it started to detect it now. :)
