[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SciFi_X:
The lack of good faith around here is a severe disappointment. I hated to believe that such a thing is possible myself, which is the reason I stayed without a working phone for over a month (yes, in 2018!). That's how much I love the Nexus 6!

I will admit that I left out a detail from my story for the sake of clarity and brevity (but we're past that now I guess...). I had decided to create a new throwaway Google account when I flashed the latest Beltz (I had random daily reboots which drove me crazy, so I thought about doing a clean slate). For some of you it might be hard to believe, but I had never heard of FRP and didn't think about resetting. Anyway, I might have triggered something strange through a very unlikely sequence of events.

Not to get preachy but this got me thinking about phone ecosystems and how one has little recourse in the face of almighty Google. At least, it's clear that they don't bother answering. It is extremely frustrating not to be able to log into a device you own (and did I mention love?). I just got a OnePlus 6, and it's nice, but no wireless and I have to upgrade all my micro-USB cable with USB-C. That said, it's snappy, has an extra-customizable OS, and a very bright screen. I overcome the awkward aspect ratio by using the pinch-to-fill in YouTube Vance. The earpiece can turn into a speaker using some Magisk module. Apart from that, it's crazy small and the lack of wireless is unforgivable, but I'll admit that it charges very fast.

Frankly, it was a coin toss between another Nexus 6 and the OnePlus 6. The only reason I went for OnePlus is that I wanted to also get the Bullets Wireless headphones (apparently, the magnetic play/pause feature was only OnePlus-compatible for now). Ironically, they're out of stock in my region. :p

H4X0R46, I don't plan to try the "fastboot format userdata". I did more than enough format userdata through TWRP when I still had hope. If you deem the information important enough, let me know and I can try it. Otherwise, I'll just sell it (for parts I guess) on eBay.

Thanks everyone for trying to help. A lesser thank you to the ones who didn't assume good faith (you're still trying to help out I'm sure!).

Cheers!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runekock:
Most of the classic phones that are sold as new are in fact refurbished used ones. There is whole cottage industry in refurbishing old phones, and not all sellers are honest about it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SciFi_X:
Fair point. But it's mostly a semantics argument as far as our discussion is concerned.

I got my Nexus 6 on Amazon.de where it's advertised as new. I have been using the phone with a newly created Google account since I got it months ago.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kemoti:
The LED is confirmed by Motorola. I asked them a question and got an answer.

My question:

" This little dot on the right side of the flash in front is what it is then? You can see it in good lighting (moto g6). "

Response from the Motorola:

" Thanks for asking, that's interesting. The little dot on the right side part of the front flash is a sign of life LED light. It would only show/activate when the battery is deeply discharged and it's plugged into the charger. "

There is hope that in unofficial rom you will be able to use it.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 7646815:
Woah, woah, woah, hold up. It had an LED the entire time? So, why can't we use it? Unless it's a single color LED.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kemoti:
Probably all Moto G6 variants have this. Unfortunately, I can not find anywhere information whether it is a single-color LED. Motorola is pursuing a strange policy, the previous models also had a hidden diode and hardly anyone knew about it.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Controwl:
I just saw this light turn on when I rebooted after flashing the OPW27.113-45 from this website

https://www.getdroidtips.com/opw27-113-45-april-moto-g6-plus/#Firmware_Details

. Maybe it already works somehow in default ROM?
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kemoti:
For now I do not see newer firmware and update system for Moto G6, I do not know how it is with the Plus version. This diode is useless. You have to wait for effective solutions from unofficial developers. Probably all you need is a well-functioning root and the right application to add functionality to this diode.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bluemgt06:
EX Kernel Manager can trigger the led to do things, I have root to it works. I've got it blinking on charge and solid when done.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] PimpMy5Ton:
I can also confirm this works through EX Kernel Manager on my Moto G6 Play XT1922-7 Boost Mobile variant, I'm using the "Battery charging blink full solid full" option in the app, this is pretty neat lol! :good:

Edit: The LED is to the left of the camera on my G6 Play
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
Can also confirm using ex kernel manager with xt1922-7 boost variant that it does allow the led to work with charging. As well as a few other options lol just which we could choose more than one led option. Would be nice to have it for charging AND notifications lol
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bluemgt06:
Maybe contacting the dev or if someone knows how that works can build an app to control it?
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kemoti:
After installing root on my moto g6, I launched this application:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.com.itsmeton.motoledenabler&hl=en

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cyb.satheesh.lednotify

The diode works!

We need someone who will do a more polished application for our phones.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] PimpMy5Ton:
We know the diode works, we already confirmed that with EX Kernel Manager.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] pake10:
Hi! I recently rooted my G6 Plus in order to use this charging LED. My goal is to make it blink softly when a notification arrives. I tried using Tasker according to this guide, but it didn't really work: I got it to ascend the brightness level, but it won't descend at all, even when running the second while-loop separately. After this, I can't even manage to change the brightness level until reboot. Strangely though, the script works as intended when run from adb shell. I started using "echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/charging/blink" when a notification arrives and 0 when the screen is unlocked. However, this is not ideal since the default blink is not very soft and the maximum brightness is too high. How could I make the bash script work properly in Tasker?
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kemoti:
[MENTION=9382303]pake10[/MENTION]

You will not change the brightness or color of this diode (it's one color) so do not get tired. It's a waste of your time.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] pake10:
[MENTION=8483932]kemoti[/MENTION]

Thanks for answering — however, I did manage to change the brightness and make it "blink" with the script. The color can't be changed and that's okay. It seems that my problem is with Tasker since it works fine from adb Shell.

EDIT: I got it working by creating my own application, for some reason Tasker and other similar applications didn't execute the bash script properly.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] blowingoff:
hahah motorola has been putting this led on every phone i eventually had bought. the first moto g had it for notifications but g4 plus and g6 play have is as a sign of life
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ImpytheBiscuit:
I got the diode working via the Resurrection Kernel when my phone is charging, but the diode is so small that you can't even see that there's anything going on. The capability is still a nice touch though.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] smike22:
Thanks--your hint worked for me!

I have a G6 with Nov , 2018 patch (OPSS27.104-92-2), I can control the LED from tasker with:

echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/charging/brightness # turn on
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/charging/brightness # turn off

[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] ecb1:
I am interested in this device, but I have a question about the camera.

Is it possible to change the picture resolution to a 16:9 aspect ratio (even though the screen is not 16:9)? And if so, at what megapixels count is it?

To compare: my compact camera has 16 megapixels and in the settings there is a 16:9 aspect ratio available, but at 12 megapixels which is fine.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] kilroystyx:
Is 18:9 and 10 megapixels
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] ecb1:
Thanks. No P20 lite for me then, although I can crop the pictures to 16:9 myself.

I am not a fan of those new aspect ratio phones, I like 16:9 better.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h0l:
Hi everyone, I'm using the Fidor banking app (com.fidor.fsw), and they have always been very restrictive on having a rooted device. Until the last update, repacking magisk and using magisk hide was able to bypass that. Their method of blocking root was just crashing the app on startup as soon as root was detected. A few days ago a new update came out, and the app won't open anymore. I uninstalled magisk, flashes a clean boot.img on my Pixel 2XL, reinstalled fidor and the app still won't open. Is there a way to debug why the app won't open?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Illidan Pornrage:
Ah that might be the reason the app crashes on start.

[Lineage Oreo without Goolag Apps]

Unfortunately some features of them only work in that app.

I have reversing that app on my todo list to find out whats the problem there.

I advise you to close your account at fidor because they are hopelessly incompetent as a bank and API provider.

The left hand doesnt know what the right hand does and the head is somewhere in the clouds.

They cost me about 120€ now due to their inability to effectively communicate.

Ok, so when I stream my music off orb I used to use pls format aka winamp, and that worked great, it never buffered, always kept the correct playtime and all files played, vs. asx, which jumps 2 seconds per start and so forth...

ANYWHO, i reinstalled ORB a few weeks ago and haven't been able to play PLS format files off of it since, TCPMP gives me an "Unknown File Format!" error everytime i try to stream, normally i would think its a codec problem in TCPMP, but other pls files (from my local radio stations) work fine, its just orb, I had the same problem a while back, and I can't for the life of me find the thread to fix it, i've been searching for 3 days, google, built in search, other websites everywhere!!!!!

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] zimon85:
How to change/ flash modem on eg 28s

I currently have 19s and I do not catch LTE at all.

And whether the change of ROM is at once a change of the modem or two separate issues, i.e. changing the ROM itself will also change my modem, do I have to change the ROM separately and the modem separately

I am asking for a step-by-step instruction
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, only EUI ROM comes with the full firmware with the ROM.

If you use a custom ROM not EUI ROM based? It will not overwrite device firmware.

I always recommend full firmware packages instead of just modem so all the device firmware have matching version numbers.

to change firmware? Just download the desired zip and flash via TWRP and reboot. Same procedure to switch firmware if you wish to try a different version.

To flash different full firmware I have links on my LineageOS 15.1 for X2 thread for the main different versions.

30s and 466d are the latest two. Try each and see which one offers you the best overall experience :svetius:

Thanks. 9 Megapixels is a bit low, but could be sufficient.

Does anyone have experience with shooting images at that resolution/ratio? Do they come out right?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] goran60:
Maybe I'm not an expert, but one thing I know for sure is that the number of megapixels does not determine quality but the size of the photo. Now you figure out what's more important to you. Otherwise, I am very pleased with the photos taken by MI A1, and I'm particularly interested in the fact that the camera has a very decent slow motion (in any case, you get a much better camera than you expect).
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] ecb1:
I agree, that's why I said it is (only) 'a bit' low, 9 megapixels. I am not a 'more megapixel fan', often it even messes up the picture, because of too many megapixels in a too small sensor (more megapixels could be helpful in some ways, although sensor type, size and quality are much more important).

Still interested in experience with/sample pictures at that resolution, so...
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Clem09082000:
Hello everyone !

I need some help because I am stuck with an Honor 8 that is not working. I have tried to install AOSP 8.0 [Open Kirin] and maybe I have done something wrong. Indeed, after flashing AOSP the device will be able to boot and start on it but Wi-Fi, SMS and GAPPS cannot work. So I need your help because I have tried all methods in order to install & flash the stock ROM i.e. dload + 3 buttons on start result : the installation stucked at 5% and Huawei eRecovery result : Getting software info. from server failed.

I have already flash BOOT.img, SYSTEM.img and RECOVERY.img but I cannot access to recovery i.e. start+ vol. + and with fastboot flash I cannot flash CUST.img and my computer says : failed not have the right permissions to write on this partition, something like that. I do not know if it has importance but I have already erase all with TWRP and in addition, erase calendar stockage when my devices worked properly. So what I needed is a 100% stock device on EMUI with maybe things that I have erased and I do not know what is.

Thanks for reading and helping :o

My devices :

- Honor 8 FRD-L09

- SD Card Sandisk 64 Go

- USB-C cable

- A computer under Ubuntu 18.04 with adb and fastboot commands installed
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] agraceful:
Ok so.. Since you said you've flashed boot and recovery, all you need to do is a dload install. There's a guide on xda here. As far as the aosp, I know it works because I ran it for months on mine. Seems you made an error somewhere in the installation process, but that's besides the point. Do a quick search for the dload installation method and follow it to a point and you should get back to stock no problem
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Clem09082000:
Ok I will try one more time but I have already done this method and it stuck at 5%...

Thanks for reply ;)

EDIT: Ok the dload method fonctionnated, in fact to install stock ROM we need first to install firmware package and then install vendor package.

Thanks, subject close.

Charging problems

Hi there.

Last week, I got the OTA update for my Swift 2 Plus. Now, when I try to charge the phone I observe massive problems.

1. Charging with Quick Charge 3.0 does not appear possible. There even observe a reduction of the battery charge when connected to the charger.

2. Charging with a standard fast charger (2.1 Amps) is not really fast. It gives me about 25-30% overnight, if I switch off the phone.

3. Charging via the USB port of a computer is hardly possible. (It is at least so slow that no progress is recognizable.)

I tried already different chargers and different cables, without any improvement. The same chargers and cables work perfectly with two other identical phones (but without the update) and before the update, I did not observe any problems when charging my phone with the various chargers and cable. I also tried to clean the contacts on the phone, without any improvement, too.

The update which was offered to me was already the one of the second round. I understand (and observed myself) that the first update was withdrawn again, because of battery charging problems.

Is anyone aware of a (convenient) solution for my problem?

1. So far, I tried to get a solution from Wileyfox support. I guess that I don't have to tell anybody that my experiences with the support a more than disappointing. Several times I got the answer that my problem is forwarded to the Senior Team Leader who will get back to me shortly. (I'm still waiting, at least for a specification of the term "shortly".)

2. I also tried to connect the phone to the computer in order to save the relevant data and in order to check if I can transfer an update filed to the phone (with the idea to carry out an update manually). However, the phone is not recognized by the computer. The different options und USB-settings do not have any effect. (Note that developer mode ("Entwickleroptionen") is activated, of course.)

3. I considered to try the factory reset. However, it is not clear to me how a can assure, especially under the given circumstances that no data connection to the computer can be established, that I can restore my phone to the current status (with all apps, app data and documents) again.

Your help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks to everbody in advance.

Hi!

Did you try to install a service COS13.1.5 ROM via QPST? I think it can resolve your problem, but ater this better to do not upgrade to 8.1 untill Wileyfox doesnt fix this bug.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] LackyLake:
Thanks for your answer.

No. Definitely not. I have never heard of this possibility.

I have to investigate firstly how this installation can be carried out. I fear, if the installation requires the transfer of the ROM onto the phone via USB, that the lack of a data connection between the computer and the phone might finally prevent me from succeeding with this option.
