[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] doromax:
Yes, it's pretty simple. I made it because I wanted to transform my P20 pro single sim to dual sim and it worked !

After procedure the new bootloader become re-locked. You can't use anymore the Huawei code to unlock boootloader and you can't root the phone or install twrp.

Until Funky find a system to unlock without code.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] forever_lol:
You mean, you cannot use the code again due to rebranding?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] mickrick:
I had heard that using any of Funky's procedures relocks the bootloader and the Huawei bootloader unlock code no longer works. But like a lot of people, I purchased my unlock code from a 3rd party. So it would be interesting to see if it survived a Funky method.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] doromax:
I didn't know that we can buy unlock codes.

But surely your code do not work after procedure!

Because Funky firmware chanche your bootloader code. And so unlock codes doesn't work anymore.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] mickrick:
Yes there are a few sites offering bootlocker unlock codes. https://ministryofsolutions.com/huaw...-new-firmwares does them for 30€, although they only accept so many paypal payments per day. https://global-unlocking-solutions-...es,_Choose_Model_Below/p5093122_19186756.aspx is €35 but has no limitations on paypal payments. I believe that both are totally legit, according to P20 onwers here.

Funky Huawei is a strange one. If you use one of their options to, say, change your region, model number etc, it will lock your phone again and make your current bootloader password useless. And the bad thing about this is, they don't offer an unlock service. Unless you pay for their unlimited use pass, which costs $132. Then they throw in a free bootloader unlock. I'm not sure if the relock and code breaking is a deliberate act by Funky Huawei but personally speaking, they should be giving a new working code to anyone whose unlock code they've trashed.

Hi,

I have an O2 Atom Exec, bought off the shelf and 'unlocked.

Been using it for ages with Optus.

Changed to Three (austalia) and now I get the 'Unknown SIM Status' message appearing.

The SIM works OK in the handset I got with my plan, but really want to use the Windows Mobile device.

Three customer care have given me the spin ... "its not going to work", however I am not convinced.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] HerrDesOlymp:
I've got a problem with my Honor. When Steam enabled BLE on the Steam Controller, it worked about a week with my phone. Since then, when I try to connect it, it isn't shown any more as mouse-input.

Running B405 on my FRD-L09 without root.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dancanplay:
AFAIK, stock EMUI doesn't support mouse and keyboard input. Because the Steam Controller runs in lizard mode by default, it will only pair but phone won't connect to it. I tried connecting the controller with Xperia Z Tablet and it worked absolutely fine. You could try another ROM and see if it works out, but I don't think it will work with stock one.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] HerrDesOlymp:
I see your point, yet it seems confusing to me that, after i updated the Controller for the first time, it worked fine without any troubles. But neithertheless, thank you for your answer.

Despite that I won't switch to another rom, as I will run stock as long as it is supported.

When Honor oficially ends support, I will switch.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComputerCraze:
EDIT: Apparently something on my device was interfering with something, after wiping with fastboot -w, I could install TWRP fine and then get LineageOS on the phone.

I've been trying to unlock the bootloader and root my phone ever since Huawei sent out the notification that they would be shutting down their unlock bootloader service. Everything went pretty smooth until I wanted to try to root my phone. I loaded a superSU ZIP onto the internal storage and loaded it in with TWRP, which then led me to booting about halfway and then sending me back to recovery. So I went ahead and factory reset, cleared cache and rebooted, where I got into a boot loop (stock OS was still loaded, but it wasn't loading correctly and rebooting). I went back into recovery and tried wiping my phone again, and that led me to this point. I am able to get into stock fastboot, or bootloop on the splash screen (no OS, I think). Stock fastboot is limited on this phone because it makes you open HiSuite to modify anything but it hasn't put it onto my computer like it normally does. I've tried flashing TWRP on my phone from fastboot but it doesn't seem to work as it still boots into stock fastboot.

I have TWRP, Android SDK, SuperSU and LineageOS for the 5X on my computer, but the issue is loading it onto the phone. Any help is appreciated, and don't be afraid to tell me that my phone is toast because nowadays it's not worth too much.

Thanks!

Simple intro, I got a u11 life from eBay, as at&t doesn't sell HTC anymore and my m9 is getting worn out.

The one I got was a T-Mobile version, and I want to flash the unlocked Ruu. Is this possible? I know I could just flash a ton but there isn't many Roms for this phone and I'm not sure if they are modified T-Mobile Roms or unlocked. Roms.

In the previous HTCs you can change cid / mid and convert to international/dev edit/unlocked.

Is this a option as we don't have s-off ?

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] thejase:
So I'm on MetroPCS and was experiencing an issue I'd like to share. When loading the MetroPCS visual voicemail app, I noticed when it first loads to activate is was taking forever to do so. This finally ended in a notification that was something like, "We're experiencing technical difficulties in activating your phone for visual voicemail. Please try again later". I had a feeling it wasn't actually "technical difficulties" so I started seeking out the issue. In most modern dialers; google, true phone (the one I was using), oneplus dialer, there is a check box for visual voicemail right from within the settings of these phone apps themselves. It is by default, checked. As long as this option is checked, my MetroPCS voicemail app would not activate. Uncheck it and... Voila! Instantly activated. I am unsure if once activated, that switch can be turned back on, but I really don't mind having to use the official app on my phone. I have heard of issues just like this on other carriers -particularly when a B.Y.O.D. device is involved. This may be helpful to more than just OnePlus users but I'm writing this as an F.Y.I. to maybe help someone with the same issue I had. If I helped you, please hit the thanks button.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] ajsmsg78:
Yeah, you can flip the switch as many times as you want and it will switch on and off without issues.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] anoukaimee:
Hi, I have a OnePlus 3 and I'm looking for a new carrier. Switching from Mint, with which visual voicemail never worked, and that was a major pain.

Was wondering whether you could confirm that it has continued to work on MetroPCS through new firmware releases and also if you could let me know what model OnePlus you have? I saw a lot of comments on the OnePlus forums saying that there have been issues with at least the 5T and 6 Oreo builds. I just know I'm going to go in the store and they're going to say yes of course it works with your phone but then it won't...

Thanks for your help!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] thejase:
Certainly. I have a one plus 6 a6003 mirror black with 128gb storage. Everything works perfectly including the newest Oreo update. I have yet to try pie since it's still in beta. Calling over volte and wifi works. As does wifi messaging. I do recommend everyone who's on metro, use TMobile apn's, however. Metro (TMobile) continues to have issues inside buildings in rural areas as most of band 66 and 71 are located in or near cities. But having the ability to be on wifi for calls and texts alleviates the pain. If you're wanting a new device and don't mind the lack of a headphone jack, consider waiting for the 6t. It should have all of what the 6 has plus an in screen fingerprint reader, wireless charging and larger battery. Coming in the next month or so. Good luck!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] anoukaimee:
Hey thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly! I think I MetroPCS is the way to go. T-Mobile is by far the best carrier in my city, and I had Mint (also T-mobile) but the customer support was atrocious and things like visual voicemail that I really liked when I had a Nexus through project fi just didn't work. I'll head down to the store today and sign up.

Thanks again.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] thejase:
Not a problem. I know sometimes people are waiting on a response to take action. Glad I could help. As for metro, comparing to other mvnos: 1. They have actual stores you can go into for help if needed. 2. They are actually owned by TMobile themselves so least likely to go away. 3. Because TMobile owns them, they usually have the best deal you can get. A piece of advice; if you already have a phone and are planning to use the Sim from that phone in your new device, you'll need the IMEI number which is usually on the back or in the battery compartment of the device. It's also under settings>about phone>status>IMEI information. If you have your current phone and activate on metro then later decide to get a one plus 6 or 6t and plan to take your sim out of your current phone for use in your new op6, going into metro to have them do it results in a $10 charge. Instead, call up metro and DO NOT use the automated system. It will disconnect you. Instead talk to an agent and tell them you need to switch phones and are using the old sim. They will do the transfer for free!

[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] tejys:
Recently i have replaced my touch screen folder. But after that everything was working fine but after encryption, the problem of tap anything on screen with two fingers arises.

In the bootup of the phone, when I enter my encryption key for the storage, I don't have this problem at all. So it must be a software problem. It only shows up inside roms after encryption (every rom).

i have also encrypted before screen replacement but none of this issue happened.

anyone plz help me with this issue

or send me anything to activate fingerprint without encryption on Oreo roms
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] eljuggy:
Similar issue here and I saw that a lot of people encounter issue with touchscreen responsiveness after having changed their screen.

Here are my symptoms :

Most of the time, if screen is left idle for a few seconds (still lit), it needs to be woke up by 2 fingers or a large finger (thumb) of a 2 or 3 single finger taps before being fully responsive again...

The phone stays responsive as long as it is used.

Problem DOES NOT occur in recovery. So it is software related I guess...

I read all comments linked to the screen I bought on Aliexpress (screen was tagged as Original, I could not find any difference having both screen in hands, so it clearly is from the same factory)

One comment stated to do a factory reset if the touch screen was laggy...

But maybe this factory reset must be done on stock rom ?

I also wondered if a kernel could have some specific option regarding touchscreen behavior that could help...

I'm hoping someone can help me with this issue. When I play music from my phone over a connected Bluetooth device such as a headset or car hands free system, I am unable to seek/skip forward or back in a track using that device's seek/skip controls. For example, if I wanted to skip 10-20 seconds into the song that was playing I am unable to do so. This does not seem to work with the the Oneplus 6 no matter which music app I use. I tried to do the same thing on my LG G6 on the same Bluetooth devices and they all work as expected. The music app I use is Google play music, however I have also tested other music app and the issue is the same one the Oneplus 6. I am unable to seek/skip forward while connected to any Bluetooth device using that device controls.

Hey,

Who here has a screen protector on thier pda/phone?

If so what recommendations do you have?

When you have a screen protector applied, does it go right to the edge of the screen so that you can hardly see it?

Does the touch screen still work as well as if the screen protector wasn't there?

Do finger prints show up on the screen protector?

Do the stylus do any damage to the screen protector?

I am thinking of purchasing the invisble shield for my HTC 8525 and i was wandering if anyone has any reviews about it?

Apologies if the immediate reply to your post came off as arrogant or standoffish - that wasn't my intention,

I'm just starting to see and realize what a big mess and if-def hell this whole source is :D

Sure, I am still interested in it - there are surefire ways to improve battery significantly and I'll be tackling several of those one by one - it'll take time but I'll get there.

I've had similar experience with Sony source where it was significantly less bad but some vendor changes are still weird and break with upstream & make updates hard

so I was already kind of pissed somewhat - this isn't supposed to get directed at you or others in the community.

Where it's possible I'll leave the if-defs and add the changes,

it might not be the cleanest way but sometimes it's necessary.

e.g. I realize we might actually need download mode or at least easy access to get to the bootloader since the phone doesn't appear to shut down properly even with the 8 second power + vol down combo

so we want to have a guarantee to recover the device if it's stuck in a bootloop.

[correct me if I'm wrong, that's at least my first impression to see how the device works and behaves]

Thanks

Have you tried initiating the factory reset via hardware buttons? It boots to recovery. If you have twrp that's it. At least the one time I boot looped. On stock recovery I imagine it issues commands. But twrp must not understand them

Edit. Just tried. Confirmed working
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] SGCMarkus:
8 sec Power + Vol-, and when it shuts off, release both, immediatly press both again (at the same time), and as soon as the LG V30 logo appears, release power and press/hold it again.

Should get you to the factory reset menu, confirm twice with "yes" (navigate via vol/power buttons), and TWRP should boot fine.

Might take a few tries to get the right timing for that ^^

TWRP would understand them, but they are disabled, because via button dance you initiate a factory reset on stock recovery. TWRP just ignores that wipe command entirely, and just boots normally :)

So that button combo and timed press dance seems to lead it now (re)booting to bootloader/fastboot mode where I'm able to shut it off and flash or boot something else after a failed bootup of the kernel.

This was clearly solved in a more easier & convenient way on Sony (at least Z5).

It's still weird that the kernel wouldn't boot, even with the mentioned superr kitchen and re-used ramdisk + google's 4.9 toolchain and unmodified kernel config from the lge-oreo branch.
