Hi to all of you..my o2 trion was alright till a few days ago.. it started overheating.. that's how it started: I was using my laptop and i connected the o2 trion to it..i didn't dare to put the o2 trion on the table in case i moved the laptop and my phone fell down.. so, i placed it on the laptop, just below the lcd screen. after a few hours of surfing on the net, i disconnected my phone.. it was warm, but not hot!!...after using it for what seemed like a few minutes, it started to get warmer, without using wifi.. it was weird. Then, there came a point where it was too hot to hold it..i preferred switching it off. after it cooled down, i tried switching it on again.. a few minutes later, it hot again.. i forgot to mention that within less than 20minuttes of hotness, the battery changed from 100% to 0%. I phoned htc and they told me that there was a problem with the battery. Weird coz its a new one. the brand of my battery is DYNAPACK.. is that a good brand?? what do you think is the problem?how can it solve it..HEEEEELLLP!!!! i cant even use my phone now..if i can't find a solution to it ,I'll have to send it to htc and pay the repair costs.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] wacky.banana:
Are you absolutely sure that wifi is switched off? I had this problem a while back which was being caused by the wifi connection refusing to switch itself off.

Solution was to take the battery out for about half an hour, reinsert, install a different comm manager to the one I was using, switch off wifi using the new comm manager and the problem rectified itself.

If you search on here there are a number of instances of overheating phones with various solutions.

Hope you get it sorted.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] luke1708:
can't find any solution

i switched my phone and wifi off. The phone seemed to be hetting cooler.. i used ,y wifi and it seemed get hot as usual, when surfing on the net.. however, when i switched on my phone, it started getting really hot..i don't know what is causing this problem...can any body help me?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] zuksh:
If you're running 3G, the battery will die in around 12 hours. To avoid this, go into phone options and change the Band from Auto to GSM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Dude, see if anyone you know has the same phone and try your battery in theirs. if it still overheats in their phone get a new battery. Personally I'd get a new battery. That would tell me right away if its the phone(warranty call) or the battery (not covered by warranty). However, if you continue to use you could do irreparable damage to your hermes. Cheers....:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] luke1708:
in the options, i can select only gsm + umts and i can't select only 1...i'm sory, i don't have any friends who use htc phones...they all use nokia or sony ericsson
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mozzz:
I was having a very similar problem with my phone randomly heating up and the battery life dropping rapidly... so I got a new battery, and within a day, starting doing the same thing again.

I never use wi-fi or bluetooth, so I knew that wasn't the issue, but I did notice it was always connected to 3G.

So, I installed

Kaiser Tweak

, and changed the setting to have it disconnect from 3G after each session (checking email or surfing web, etc).

That one change dramatically improved my battery life AND more importantly, stopped the overheating. It's like a completely new phone now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
had a friend with the same problem but the top part of his phon would also get hot. this morning he found a dead capacitor on his front camera board. removing it has fixed his hermes... If you think you can check and have a hot spot at the top of the hermes, I would look into that. will update if theres any problems later... cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] luke1708:
hi! thanks for your replies!!i went to the local htc centre and the guy said that they have to replace the motherboard..they said that they will get new stocks next month..they said they cant tell how much the price will be..but do you guys know the approximate price?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Mattnokis:
like ultramag69 said mine was a faulty cap, and mostly prices for this stuff ranges from $200 (for simple stuff like battery) to $500+ for the board swaps, if not covered by warranty. just pray they do a through test and actually fix the problem
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] luke1708:
That's crazy!!!a motherboard which costs nearly the same price as the phone itself!!!i was ready to spend $100 on this but $500 is WAY too expensive...if i try to sell it on ebay, approximately how much will i be getting for this?? and are you sure about the motherboard price?
[Nexus 5 General] XDleader555:
If you've owned your Nexus for a while, you'll start to notice that your headphone jack may become spotty, finicky, or no longer work. This is caused by the lack of a proper connector on the motherboard for the headphone jack module. The pins of the headphone jack end up rubbing up against the PCB pads and wearing it away, resulting in a faulty connection. (See attachments for reference).

Symptoms of a worn connection:

- No sound through headphones

- Wiggling the headphone connector causes something to happen

- Google assistant or search activating randomly

- Songs randomly skipping or stopping when using aux or headphones

You can make a semi-permanent repair by tinning the connection pads with solder, which both improves the connection and repairs any wear. This may need to be repeated in the future as solder is a soft material. (not any time soon though, maybe a few months).

Tools:

- Soldering Iron

- Solder with rosin core (or solder + flux)

- About an hour

Step 1 - Follow any tear down guide to remove the main motherboard from the phone.

I prefer the iFixit guide which can be found here:

https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+5+Teardown/19016

You don't need to remove the battery, just the back cover, the protective shield, and unplug a few connectors.

Step 2 - Tin the connectors.

See attachments for the headphone connector, and reference images. (The images are taken with the motherboard flipped over)

If you've never touched a soldering iron before, make sure it's hot, and make sure to add a little flux to your target area. Flux removes oxidation, and makes the solder flow much much easier than without. Avoid hitting anything other than the soldering pads.

You don't need a lot, in fact, if you add too much, try to use the soldering iron tip to pull away the extra solder from the pads. I've attached a photo of a finished repair.

Step 3 - Reassembly.

Just put it back together the way you took it apart.
[Android Studio] DigitalFly:
First of all hi, and glad to have found this forum. :)

I'm using the following code in Android to read the contents of a .txt file

try {
reader = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(getAssets().open("testFile.txt")));
String mLine;
while ((mLine = reader.readLine()) != null) {
textB.append(mLine);
textB.append('\n');
}
} catch (IOException e) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Error reading file!",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (reader != null) {
try {
reader.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
}

The thing is, although this works for some of the .txt files (they are loaded properly and successfully parsed as strings with another piece of code), others throw an exception. (the "Error reading file!", seen in the code).

I am baffled by this, because the various .txt files are very similar in terms of size and format, and they are all from the same source (they are .txt files of old novellas downloaded from Gutenberg). There doesn't seem to be anything vastly different from one file to the next.

My question is 2-faceted:

a) Any ideas what I could look for in the .txt files when troubleshooting the issue? I've tried to re-save the file as ANSI, as Unicode, but this doesn't seem to help. I also attempted to truncate the lines, but to no avail either.

b) Is there any chance this is related to BufferedReader for some reason, and if so, is there some alternative I could try to read the content of the .txt files?

Thanks!

Does anybody knows what is tye HwIntelligentRecSystem app? This is very vattery consuming app and i cant delete it or turn it off. I could propably deinstall it via adb but i don't know if it crash my phone.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] tickmaster:
It don't have drain for me. So I guess there is something wrong on your phone.

And thanks for notyfiying, I forgot to delete this app on my phone after hardreset. I just dont trust apps that are recording traffic.

you can use this guide to uninstall system applications, you do not need root. If you uninstall an app and it gives you an error, just a reset is enough to fix it.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] GDane1:
I'm guessing probably not but I pray that I'm wrong.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Malaka135:
As of right now. No public root instructions or installs. LG recently released the unlocked variant bootloader unlock but not for the Tmobile version yet. Once and if that comes out, root will soon follow. I've read about some exploits which hopefully someone can test and develop on it. So fingers crossed it'll be soon but as of right now nope.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] texas83:
Anything ever happen with this? I'm on t-mobile variant and hoping for root sooner or later.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
Can you go and try unlocking the bootloader? If you can I can try compiling a boot image from the LG open source and apply root to it.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
There is absolutely no difference between the source code of the international version and the T-Mobile one in terms of the Kernel. That could mean that (maybe) it's possible to boot the international version of the boot image on a T-Mobile one however I'm still not sure if it's possible to unlock one and maybe try. If anyone is willing to try unlocking it please share a pic of the phone in bootloader mode.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Haz3:
My phone allows for unlock_critical but not regular unlock. Unlock_critical allows bootloader flashing. And when you unlock_critical it wipes your phone like a normal unlock would. I'm wondering if the could be an in for a full unlock??
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
As far as I know the only place where we can get the bootloader is from the kdz firmware but there is still no tool that can extract our version.

EDIT: try using kngoroot. It claims that it can root Android 8 devices. If you succeed you can then switch to magisk.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Haz3:
Tried previously and no luck sadly.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
If you really want to get root you can try using LGUP with the international kdz file but it has a chance to break the phone (but as far as I know there is no different in the kernel of the T-Mobile and the international version). In THEORY if something bad happens after flashing the phone it should boot directly to download mode. If not just cross your fingers and hold the volume up button. Still this is very risky and it has a chance to completely break the phone.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Haz3:
Yeah I may give it a shot once I have all the appropriate files and such. I'm not too worried about bricking it, it's insured and I have 2 Pixel 2 XLs as back up phones lol
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Nothing like Kingroot or Kingo root or any other alleged "magical" 1-click solution is ever going to work on newer LG smartphones.

We have root for ALL the LG V30/V30+/V30S on the planet due to exploits we found and wrote guides for.

Just yesterday a dev finally got root for T-mobile H932, so now ALL V30 and variants have root. (Different process for H932).

ROOT FOR T-MOBILE H932 V30/V30+

ROOT FOR ALL OTHER V30/V30+/V30S
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
Maybe someone can try unlocking it using the exploit?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Ali Mirza:
Respected active V30 user, used to read all of your XDA posts on the amazing LG V30, been wondering the previous LG flagships upto LG G6 USA unlocked (US997) have unlocked bootloader, where as LG V30 (US998) & LG G7 (G710ULM) didn't get supported by LG? Are they officially stopped getting bootloader unlock except the EU variants? Do we hope something (custom kernel, ROMS etc) for them? Been waiting for my beast G710ULM! I hope some exploit like WTF method happens to the LG G7.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yeah, it's frustrating the LG has apparently stopped giving official bootloader unlock (with fastboot flash commands) to North America variants.

We got "open market" US998 v30 official bootloader unlock code by hacking the website... LG had put in the IMEI before never announcing official recognition, but we could not get that trick to work with the open market US9988 30+, even though Europe had both v30 in v30+ models officially recognized.

So one of my us998 phones did have semi-official bootloader unlock from LG (available but never officially announced), but the others (V30+) luckily have access to WTF. I also bought two LS998 v30 plus off eBay and quickly converted those two US998 V30+ for bootloader unlock and root.

[MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] is going to start working on the G7. His process is more complicated than the WTF method but it works. I'm not saying it would definitely work on the G7 but that's one of his next projects.

Sent via open market LG US998 V30/V30+
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Ali Mirza:
Can't wait for it!

I hope LG is reading XDA, also they even set up "Software Update Center" to speed up updates, or are they busy with the "hyped" LG V40?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
To make the H932 root happen, a user loaned me their phone. Unfortunately, it looks like the same thing is going to have to happen with the G7. I looked on eBay and thought about buying one to do the dev work, but even ones that have a bad IMEI, or cracked (but usable) screen are still $600+ and I am not going to spend that to root a phone that I don't own -- sorry :(

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] ps3hacker3:
Will happily donate to the cause it the possibility is there for cracking this g7 thinq and will offer any assistance along the way, how much do you need? I'm sure others would gladly join in for something of this nature
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
It is against XDA rules to get money before a project is complete, however, it is not against the rules to borrow a phone. So, unfortunately, you can't just set up a fund to buy me a G7 to make this happen. One of you guys will have to be willing to live without your phone for a bit, and understand that there is ALWAYS the possibility that it could be bricked.

It took me several months to crack the H932. Without seeing a G7, I can't even give a remote guesstimate as to how long.

Root yet for TMobile?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
It turns out that when going through the normal bootloader unlocking procedure you can also choose the t mobile version witch is strange. Can anyone test it since I don't have the t mobile version?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Dvalin21:
If there is a specific Tmobile bootloader, how do you get in it? I connect my devices to my computer and using ADB reboot into the bootloader. The only thing I get is the 3 quick steps to unlock it, however the LG site no longer host this bootloader unlocker with the code your phone gives.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] eric5949:
Using an S8+ for a couple months wouldn't be too hard if you think you can do something with this phone. T-Mobile right? I don't particularly care if it gets bricked, it was "free,"

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

I think I understand why they didnt post the download links and so forth. When I went to the guys youtube profile, there was another video that explained about the LGBBS site and the KDZ downloads which you basically have to pay for. The forum itself is free to go to and explore, however to use the KDZ download firmware database its requiring you to pay 10 USD to get the link. Here is the link to the forum and the KDZ download link is at the top of the forum LGBBS
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Dvalin21:
So Ive been doing some digging. One, I did find the flash tool the guy was using in the youtube video. It would seem its downloadable from the lgbbs.com.cn. Also on the same site there is a cracked version (yes, i know I cant post that here, against rules etc..) Anyway, the point is that while doing some extended searching I did figure out that those of us on TMO, the current firmware version is G710TMK_00. However, I had found another site that which after entering my IMEI number, it didnt give me that crazy not compatible crap, it actually presented a firmware version G710TM10g_00_TMO_US_OP_0626.kdz. Its taking a while to download (3GB). If anyone knows how to extract or decompile this firmware, that will be great. Its possible that this is an older version of the firmware on our phones which we could exploit in some way. At the very least exploit boot a and b if we can get this decompiled. As soon as its finished uploading Ill share the link. I will be going back to see if I can find the already exploited boot a and b. If I can, then I can attempt the flash like in the video.

Sometimes if you add code to the boot.img in order to tell oem unlock to work you will get a oem unlock command fail but "getvar all" confirms successful unlock. You will also not see the warning if you follow this.

I was thinking he probably cross flashed,

Grabbed the carrier modems from an update using droid explorer and busybox

Wrote the oem unlock response (patched boot.img)

after that he probably followed the normal protocol
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Dvalin21:
That would explain why boot_a/b was patched and installed first

Lets figure out how to do it. The only dual boot i have experience with is the intel atom cherry trail (0/1) i have a sprint varient of the g7 thinq. I would assume the only difference would be modems flashed
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Dvalin21:
That would be a great start. Seeing what the difference is from the Sprint, Tmobile, etc.. devices and even compare them to the European devices to if we could even use those boot imgs. I have tried to decrypt and decompile the kdz for tmobiles firmwares and it fails every time. Im currently not in a position to use the linux methods at the moment. If someone could attempt that, and let me know if it works I would appreciate it. I could have sworn i heard someone mention that t-mobile had the encryption changed to keep people from decrypting the firmware.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] alecthenice:
I have to do some on the nature of LG file systems but i dont think encrypted firmware is our obsticle. If you look in the unlock threads it seems they have sourced that legitimatly for $10 and a hacky way for free. I would link it but im sure you are aware of the thread. They are all short to read for this phone anyways
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
RSA encryption is what is different and prevents you from cross flashing to other variants.

Over in the V30 forum we can cross flash ALL the North America V30/V30+/V30S variants (US998, AS998, Sprint LS998, AT&T H931, Verizon VS996, Canada H933) with each other to get fastboot flash commands and REAL bootloader unlock, and root -- EXCEPT for T-Mobile H932, because it has different RSA ENCRYPTION and it will brick it.
