[Hardware Hacking General] cowger:
Hi, I could use a bit of help, if possible. My phone (S6 Edge) went into salt water and then quickly died. My goal at this point is to hack the phone back to life just long enough to do one final backup. At this point I have disassembled the phone and cleaned the salt residue off the board with a soft toothbrush and alcohol.

Here's a picture of the main board where the battery attaches. It appears that the saltwater shorted there and essentially melted the power connector. The battery connector (not shown) is similarly destroyed.

My assumption is that there are normally 4 circuits between the main board and the battery:

1) +3.0V

2) GND

3) Temp sense (thermister?)

4) Temp sense

Unfortunately it's hard for me to tell what goes where because both connectors are so badly destroyed.

What I'd like to try (nothing to lose at this point) is to wire up these four circuits and bring them out to a lab bench power supply and perhaps a resistor to emulate the temperature sense (assuming that the phone will require some reading on signals 3 & 4 above).

Does anyone know where to tap into the +3.0V and GND connections immediately downstream of the battery connector? Perhaps the + and - pins of one of the caps?

Same question on where to tap into the temp sense pair. Nominal value of the thermal sense in ohms?

Thanks to anyone who may have mapped out this part of this board....

[Huawei Watch 2] kbboykin:
All,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 that is paired with LG Watch Sport, Fossil Q Explorist, and LG Urbane 2. I recently acquired a Huawei Watch 2. Despite everything I tried (except clearing data), I cannot get it to complete set up on the Note 8. I have read that I should clear cache AND data in Wear OS app. I am hesitant to do this for fear of losing my pairing to the other smartwatches that work just fine. Does anyone know if I will mess things up if I clear the data under Wear OS app?

TIA
[Huawei Watch 2] kbboykin:
Well I tried this suggestion: Apps->Google Play Services->Stprage->Clear Cache->, then Manage Space->Manage Wearable Storage->Clear Now. Then went to Wear OS app under Apps and cleared cache, rebooted and tried again and it worked but unfortunately all my other smartwatches are gone from Wear OS app, but not Bluetooth under Settings. I am not home to see if they will reconnect to Wear OS, hopefully they will.
[Huawei Watch 2] kbboykin:
I will have to setup ALL of the other smartwatches. :( But I will use this link to avoid having to factory reset and lose all my settings: https://www.xda-developers.com/pair-android-wear-without-factory-reset/
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ntelas:
I have a LG G4 since almost the release of it. I had it rooted and with an unlocked bootloader since now. I decided to use it as my daily though to pay with it using Google Pay. So I re-flashed the stock v29a zip provided by LG and did the "fastboot oem lock" command. The bootloader locked, the rom is fully stock now without any modification. Why Google pay still says that the phone is altered and after checking Safetynet with an app on play store, fails? Also On Play Store the phone appears Uncertified... What is the problem?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grantdb:
Just an idea, take a look at your build.prop and see if anything looks off. Maybe you need to format some partitions before flashing the stock zip?

Cheers!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ntelas:
Thanks for the reply. I think the zip is flashing all the partitions.I checked for TWRP and did a factory reset after the flash to make sure it's as stock as it can get. Now for the build.prop I also think that it needs root to check and edit it right? If not what sould I look for?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grantdb:
I think that certain partitions need to be formatted you might want to search about that. I think TWRP can access the build.prop but not sure. I suggested checking build.prop because it will show different models, builds and basically would be an easy way to see if you are truly back to stock.

Good luck!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ntelas:
Thanks! I would have to install TWRP again maybe ?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uweork:
Didi you Unroot before Flashing Stock?

Maybe some remants in Some Partitions are causing you trouble.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ntelas:
I flashed stock coming from a RR rom with Magisk. Believe me if I had locked bootloader with a rooted rom now I wouldn't have my phone alive
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uweork:
Then You didn´t read Properly.

I didn´t mean Root itself more Remnant parts of Root, that cause ur Saftynet fail.

Only an Option
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_naxhoo:
a user from this forum said that you need to take the line "ro.build.firgenprint=..." of the any MM/LP build.prop and insert it into the N build.prop (including reboot btw) and try again if google pay works for you...

I don't know if it works, I don't tried it, but you say us.

I was texting with my daughter last night (we both have android phones using the Android Messages app) and when she sent one message to me it came through as "Ok (sent with slamming effect)". Normally I would only see that if someone with an iPhone sent me the message using one of those effects, but not from another Android phone. Sounds like Google might be preparing the Messages app to have these effects too? My daughter has no clue how she got it to do that. Anyone else see this before?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Kablys:
Hello!

New Mate 10 Pro user here and this is my first thread in this forum.

So I have bought a Xiaomi selfie stick with a bluetooth button but the problem is that stock Huawei acts kinda weird with it. At first it took two photos all the time but then I found that there is a setting to change what does sound buttons do. If its on Shutter it takes two photos and if its on Zoom it does take a photo and then zooms in a bit. And there is no option to disable sound buttons on camera.

Why does bluetooth button does two things? It does take a photo and then press a button.

Anyone has an idea, how to fix this problem?

Thank you in advance.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] mikex8593:
I have had my screen protector from OnePlus on since I received the phone in May. As of right now, there is a crack spanning the entire screen, top to bottom and a half a ring shaped crack in the bottom of the screen protector. I have not dropped the device nor have I had anything impact the device. It has simply cracked under the pressure of my own pocket. I strongly urge against buying one. I have reached out to OnePlus and their response was that it was already installed, so they refused to do anything, even after providing many pictures and a video proving there was not a single scratch on the phone or screen protector. It is a total price of garbage. Do not buy!
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] RiTCHiE007:
So no crack in your phone screen? Thats all that matters tho. I mean maybe you didnt notice when you bumped into something because i doubt it can crack in your pocket only.

If i was you i would buy the moloco full adhesive screen protector from aliexpress for 3.99 dollar because it looks the same as the orig one.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] Gr8man001:
Could you post a link as I could not find anything under the brand name "Moloco" Thanks!

Update: Never mind, I found it. It's called Mocolo

[OnePlus 6 Accessories] RiTCHiE007:
Yea thats the one bro! And full adhesive is the way to go because matrix dot or edge only protectors are terrible.

Also if you really need a good protector then you can try to glue it on with LOCA 2500 glue. Videos are on youtube.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] mikex8593:
When it's in my pocket, I always have the screen to my leg. Also has a case. I'll dig through the pictures I sent OnePlus and post them later after work. Not a single scratch on anything, even the screen protector.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] gffmac:
Anyone notice the sensitivity of the screen has lessened since using the OnePlus 6 tempered glass screen protector? Takes more effort to double tap, sometimes around the edges of the screen touch is iffy, I'm considering taking it off but would prefer to keep it on for obvious reasons..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrionzNebula:
XDA techies,

I am having an issue with an application called Ventra on my phone. It is basically an app that Metra transit uses to buy tickets and view scedules. I have called their customer/"tech support" and they have been of NO help what so ever. I just don't understand how they not know their own app. I have looked on Google Play to see who the developer was so I can contact them, but it just gave me their crappy customer service email. Below is the error that I am recieving:

Runtime Error

Location: [329,21]/alloy/sync/enc.db.js

Message:

Uncaught Attempt to invoke virtual method'java.lang.String appcelerator.encrypteddatrabase.TilDatabaseProxy.getName()'on a null object reference

Source:

var tmpDb=_database.open(config.adapter.db_name);

This error just came out of nowhere. The application was working fine, then I noticed the tickets that I purchased were disappeared and then the following Monday when I used the app this error popped up. I am no developer, but I do work IT and have a good understanding of tech. I found a temporary solution by clearing the cache and data in the app settings, but the error pops right back up after a day or two. I have never experienced this and it is very annoying. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with Oreo operating system. So the hardware is out of the question. I do not want to have to root my phone or factory reset, but if it comes down to factory reset it is worth the headache of having to purchase tickets all the time.

I should also note, that I have uninstalled and reinstalled this application multiple times and it still gives this error. I have literally tried everything I know without resoirting to factory restore. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkong:
Same thing happened to me, not sure why since my phone (s8+) didn't have a security update recently and the app was lasted updated June 5th and was working fine for a month. Had to clear data, not just reinstall but clear all app data, and it let me log in again. Lost all my metra tickets so you have to call them to get them back onto the app.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrionzNebula:
Interesting. Has it been consistently working since then?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrionzNebula:
So annoying right? I just want this resolved, but now I don't trust using it. It's annoying getting on the train just to have this message pop up and have to clear cache and data, re-login, and re-buy a ticket. I don't know if it is a Ventra developer issues or an Andriod developer issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrionzNebula:
Exactly the same error message I got. I saw a few reviews on Google Play and a developer posted this to resolve the issue. Let me know if it works for you:

Hello,

i have a very annoying problem with my WM5 (qtek9100) and WM6 (htc kaiser) devices:

The phones are configured to synchronize with an Exchange Server account.

During the wireless Synchronization process (3G or EDGE, Not via a computer), the status says "Synchronizing". As soon as new Emails, Appointments etc. are identified, the phone shows the number of open items correctly e.g. 25 E-mails and 50 Appointments.

After processing about 5-20 items (sometimes more or less), the synchronization process completes without any error leaving the remaining items unsynchronized.

I have to select "Sync" manually several times to get the device completely updated.

This problem exists with both devices.

Any help is appreciated.
