[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matszal:
Hi guys,

I recently fixed 6p with bootloop problem. Currently it's running latest 8.1 android version and im getting notifications about latest security patch. So my question is: how can I apply that update without bricking the phone. Will OTA update bricks the phone again?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face_Plant:
Updating via OTA would put your phone right back into a bootloop. In order to update from now on you'll have to flash the updates manually by downloading the factory images from Google and installing each piece separately via fastboot, EXCEPT for the kernel (boot.img) and recovery (recovery.img).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matszal:
Thanks

Thanks very much for clarifyng this. I have downloaded the latest April update from google but it still offers some 60MB update. I guess I'll wait for May release and update manually then. Many thanks again!

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimozu:
Hi Everyone

Newbie here so please be gentle. I have a HTC One M9 that has gone into a permanent bootloop for no apparent reason. It happened yesterday. Noticed that my phone was a bit sluggish so I decided to restart it but it didnt completely restart and went into the boot loop. The only significant change that I can think of was that I updated HTC Senses via the play store a few days ago and this was the first time I have restarted the phone after that update.

I have not modified the phone in any way and has the stock rom installed. I can access the bootloader and recovery mode. Here is a dump of fastboot getvar all command:

With the phone in Bootloader screen

I do not have developer mode or USB debug enabled (wish I had enabled these before this happend!! )

I have tried to install an OTA update via the the 'Apply Update from SD card' method (from recovery mode) and tried to use the OTA_HIMA_UHL_M60_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_3.35.401.32-3.35.401.12_release_487250.zip but I get an error after the 'verifying current system...' message which says:

System partition has unexpected contents E:Error in /sideload/package.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Considering that I have not modified the phone in anyway, not sure why I am getting this error message as I was hoping that applying the OTA might fix the bootloop issue. If I was able to update using the OTA, would that have solved my issue? Is there any way of overcoming the Status 7 error?

Considering that I dont have developer mode enabled and USB debug enabled, is there any posibility to accessing the system files and flashing the system partition with a stock image without having to wipe personal data or do I have no choice but to do a factory reset, loose all my data and hope for the best? Any advice and step by step guide would be appreciated. Even if I can access my personal data on the internal drive and copy it somewhere else, that would be a result!

Many thanks

Rob
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
There is a very strong chance the nand has failed and the phone is dead.

How big is the file you're flashing?. It should be at least 2Gb. If it is less than 2Gb then it's the ota.

If the file is 2Gb or more then rename it to 0PJAIMG.ZIP,

copy it to the "external" sdcard,

boot the phone into download mode and you should see "press vol up to flash" in yellow at the bottom of the screen.

Press vol up and it will flash. (make sure your phone is plugged into a charger).

When it is complete it will auto reboot. Do not turn the phone off even if it looks 'frozen'. The process should take 5-10 minutes.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimozu:
Thanks you very much!!!

Phone is alive again thanks to your instructions. I had given up after trying different things. I tried flashing the RUU via fastboot but kept getting an error 9 (something to do with security). Even the factory reset option from the recovery menu wasnt working (it formatted, unpackaged and then rebooted into the boot loop) hence I gave up hope and bought a Nokia 8 as a replacement (Still prefer the M9 but I'll give the Nokia some time). If you had responded towards the begining of the week, you could have saved me £300 ;)

Any ideas why the factory reset option did not work considering that I had not modified the phone in any way? (S-ON, bootloader locked, no custom ROMS or recovery mods)

Thanks again for your help. :good:
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Unfortunately I don't have time to monitor the forum and answer immediately, even if it saves someone a few quid.

Under the consumer rights act (UK) you can return the phone within the 2 week grace period for a no quibble money back. You don't need a reason. After 2 weeks the device must be faulty.

The factory reset didn't work because android is inherently broken. There is no real valid explanation at this stage but the android developers know about it but do not know how to fix it.

In all circumstances where issues are encountered flashing stock the ruu via zip should be on the cards as it fixes many things on htc phones.

[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] ChapyCoo:
Hey.

First of all, I apologized for such a newbie question because I never root any phone before (been interested to do so but scared if spoilt the phone).

Second thing is, i have sign up for the EMUI 8.0 FUT project but haven't got any reply yet .:confused:

I'm using WAS-LX2 and out of warranty recently.

So....

Is it advisable to root the device? I mean how does it improve if compare to stock. Is it stable enough?

Can I still do the beta EMUI if I root it?

Or its better if I wait up for the beta oreo to ends then only root it?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!:D
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] 西村大一:
How the hell do you have a phone out of warranty after ~1 year? As far as rooting goes, no OTA updates, in any shape, way or form, and if you do the wrong things, you can even brick your device. So, as far as i am concerned, root, but don't come back to complain after you've bricked it.
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Trixanity:
Some countries have one year warranties as standard. Not many companies go beyond the minimum unless you pay for it (eg extended warranty service).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finchi:
Hi there,

I've recently replaced screen, due common digitizer issue, where screen was not responding to touches in some parts of screen.

In process I probably broke proximity sensor (another common side effect of screen replacement), but I'll fix it by rotating rubber gasking as recommended in Proximity Sensor Fix after Screen Replacement.

But what worry me is that cellular signal is significantly worse. Wifi and GPS signals seems OK though so I don't think I have grounding issue as described here.

I have to say, that in process of replacing screen I scratch damaged back cover bit.

According to nexus 4 design flaws:

Could it be problem with backplate not having proper connection with antennas? And where are actually cellular antennas located?

I also replaced battery, but it turned out to be fake with only 76% capacity after several weeks of monitoring with AccuBattery, not sure if unstable battery can have influence on signal.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finchi:
I'm going to answer my own question. I bought new backplate (rear cover) from ebay.

It's not genuine, you can tell from simple look, but it's still good enough. It doesn't come with volume and power button, which I had to use from my original backplate.

It fixed my signal problem. So my theory about weak connection of antennas in backplate seems to be correct.

Battery was replaced too and also fixed proximity sensor by rotating the rubber gasket.

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] grandfso:
Hi All, I purchased my Mi 6 like half a year ago, and I asked some questions with regards to this device back then (reference: https://xdaforums.com/mi-6/help/xiaomi-user-issues-actual-issues-t3703112 ) . I then gave up for some time, but would like to revisit some of my initial issues with the device.

DISCLAIMER: I am not very knowledgable on Xiaomi stuff, this is my first phone from them. I owned it for around six months and I still didn't root it... I just didn't see any _worthy_ rom to be installed. Please bear in mind, that although I am technically savvy and rooted all my previous phones always, I might sound as a total noob here since I didn't follow the scene very much.

At present, I have requested the unlock with Xiaomi, and they granted me the possibility to root the phone, but I haven't done so yet.

I am thus running on stock MIUI 9.5.6.0.(OCAMIFA). The Android is 8.0.0. OPR1.170623.027.

What I would like to achieve, is to get my Mi6 as close to current Pixel devices as possible. I understand that I could purchase the Pixel phone in the first place, but the price tag on them is too high..

(I am mostly interested in having the most recent version of Assistant available on my Xiaomi, and Pixel UI instead of MIUI)

I am unable to install Google Phone.

When I visit google store from PC, I can search for Google Phone, but can't install it. https://i.imgur.com/21fh9hq.png (and the reason why it's not compatible is not being disclosed). If I search google play store from the device itself, the app isn't even listed in the results. If I download any version of the Android Dialer app from APKMirror, and try to install - the installation would start, and then fail with a single message (App not installed https://i.imgur.com/gOolw3H.png ). I tried ARM, ARM64, both in NODPI and other DPIs, also, I tried app versions 19.0... and 20.0... from https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/ . Always getting the same error.

What's interesting, is that I was able to install Google Messages, Google Contacts and any other google app without any problems, but I can't install the Phone app from google. I have also been able to install rootles-pixel-launcher from APK

I am left with the phone app from xiaomi, which is not integrated with Google Message / Contacts apps, and vice-versa.

I am looking for the clear up the following doubts:

1. Anyone experienced problem installing the Google Phone ?

2. Any idea how to further debug why I can't install Google Phone ?

3. Are you aware of any up-to-date rom giving me the pixel experience (The Pixel Experience thread has a lot of people askingn for updates - is it dead ?)

4. I start missing my LG Nexus 4, did I purchase the wrong device for what I am trying to achieve with it ? I start getting the feeling that I picked a phone with not enough scene going for it. Or is the scene in China?

Sorry for lengthy post, and appreciate any input.

cheers

You need to flasy Google Framework, then you can use googles apps like "phone"
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Boristruyens:
Install any AOSP based rom, flash Gapps, root with magisk and search the download section for the 'Pixel 2 experience' module. I chose the last launcher, "new custom launcher"

Check if camera2api is enabled. It should be because of the pixel experience module but if it isn't yet download a magisk module for enabling it.

Check the Gcam threads on here for the recommended Gcam APKs and make sure to install Google photos too.

Last step is install the magisk module "Google framework" and installing the phone app etc. from the playstore.

After I followed these steps any AOSP based rom feels very pixel-like and Gcam even makes me think I actually bought one from time to time :p

Edit: I'm starting to think the pixel experience module actually has the framework included already as I currently don't have the framework module installed and I was able to download the phone app without any problems.

Good luck!
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Enreuke:
Recently purchased a Mate 10 Pro and one of the most jarring things is the constant prompt for "Full screen display" at the bottom of the screen. Accidentally tapping it would force relaunch and **** up the display for one of the apps I'm using, and it's aggravating needing to go into settings to disable it again and again.

Is there any way to remove it permanently for certain apps?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
Does anyone else has this problem with their Nokia 7 plus?

The auto brightness is turned off yet the display's brightness will vary subtly when I type on keyboard or while I am on a page showing ads or when I scroll on a page. The brightness goes up and down very subtly. It's like the brightness bounces if you look closely. This can mostly be experienced on white backgrounds and when brightness is less than 30 percent but above 0 percent. This is completely random. Everything else is completely fine with the display.

Anyone else noticed this issue?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Stransky:
Can't say I've noticed anything like that. When auto brightness is off my screen brightness stays at what I set it, no variation even at low settings. BTW my 7 is a TA-1055

Mine is TA - 1046.

[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] gawdfather007:
As of now there is no solution for this but a workaround, just keep your brightness level above 25 and it will not occur. Btw i also have TA-1046 so i am guessing its a problem with this specific batch
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
I believe it's a problem with all the devices but not everyone keeps the brightness so low. Also, not everyone will be able to pick up this issue. If you look specifically for this issue, then you will find it.

I believe it's because of the "Content adaptive backlight settings". Toggling those settings on or off do nothing and hence, a software bug I guess. Also, the content adaptive backlight settings seems to be very aggressive and hence, improperly calibirated. View attachment 4509448
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] tolong_saye:
Thanks, as this is a bug, I think some application or setting trigger this behaviour. Some say this might be a kernel problem. Did you update your device to latest may update?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
Yeah. I am on May update and yeah, I have read that it can be because of a kernel problem. Nokia needs to fix this.

Hi, I'm on June update and I'm on Ta-1046. I'm still facing the same issue. Exactly as yours. It's really annoying when the eyes always search for the flickering.

Have you found any solution yet? Since so many of us having the same issue it has to be a software issue and not hardware right?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
Not able to find a solution. It's a kernel issue I guess and hence, software bug. I had told Nokia about it but they haven't fixed it yet.

What battery life (SOT) are you guys seeing
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] kyooohei08:
For straight gaming in WQHD+ res, I got 4h of SOT, which I think is considerable amount.

Then I turned on speed limiter in power saving mode but without gaming, only social media apps like Facebook, Messenger and YouTube and got 6h+ SOT.

Now I did disabled some apps' Allow Background Activity settings and I think I am getting better battery life, though I cant fully report yet because I went from 85% to 40% with 2h46min of SOT, if to be translated that is 45% difference. Im approximating it to be at almost 6h when considering from 100 to 0 since 90% would give me 5h+ of SOT (still my approximation)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] sl4y3r88:

To resolve it I took it to Service centre and after detailed analysis, they came to a conclusion that there is a problem with Battery and they replaced it but it didn't resolve the issue. I requested them to install Nougat as the last measure. With Nougat the issue the battery drain issue was resolved but it created a new problem of charging.
