[Honor 10 Questions & Answers] Chemy:
Well, honestly it's a pretty complicated procedure to get it right, you need to go to your average lighting place of use, I mean, if you are mostly in a dark room, you set the brightness as comfortably as you can, and leave it there, if you check the sliding bar for the Brightness while changing ambient light conditions it should move automatically, but it will only do it between a range, it should adjust the situation based on a comparison between the light conditions you setted up and the actual.

So, maybe if you go from a totally dark room to a sunny beach at noon, you won't see enough adjustment on the brightness because the algorithm isn't as smart to see that, it only moves certain percentage, in that you situation you should need to play a little bit with the brightness, something like setting up the dark place with more brightness in order to get a little more when you change to a very bright place.

I think it got better with the update today.

Put it on full brightness when leaving the office due to the sun.

After installing the update it went to almost lowest brighness.

Hope it goes back up tomorrow morning and its no coincidence.

I am using the T-Mo Rom which I am happy with once I removed myfavs and voicecommand that bring it to a crawl. My only other issue is if you type a number then # it automatically brings up a speed dial entry. This is extremely annoying since the # key is also "a" which is in about every name, so usually i am typing a name and the dang speed dial comes up. Is there a way to disable this? It makes you want to throw the phone sometimes. Thanks
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] Juusuhako:
Hello all,

I know this may be a broad question but thought I'd give it a shot nontheless...

I have an Honor 8 which (supposedly?) is getting Oreo in the coming weeks. I've been looking at some mid-range budget phones, primarily P20 and P20 lite. I'm leaing towards lite though cus of it's 3.5mm jack.

Anyway, Honor 8 still seems to be a great phone. Is the upgrade justified with P20 lite? Does is have all the fancy AI-camera-stuff? Can the back-button (fingerprint reader) be physically clicked? Or should I just expect more of the same, just a tad better... Any feedback is appreciated. :)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] patatoso:
Initially I was looking for a guide to change the firmware and region of my IRAN H870DS

Android version 7

patch date 1 genuary 2018

baseband

MPSS.TH.2.0.1.c3.1-00018-M08996FAAAANAZM-1.115847.1.116165.1

kernel version

3:18:31

build number

NRD90U

SW version

lg v10s-AME-XX

REGION IRN - IRAN

Reading (for hours) various sources at the end I have guessed that the activity is simple and clean.

I managed to flash the HKG firmware with Oreo on my H870DS IRAN with sw version v10s-AME-XX

I've download new preferred H870DS firmware from this site

https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h870ds-firmwares/firmwares/

Obviously the kdz file must be for the same model you have.

FIRST

Download LGUP and install it

https://www.mylgphones.com/download-lg-up-software

SECOND

Download LGIP_common.dll

https://www.mylgphones.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/LGUP_common.zip

extract and save it in the path

C: \ Program Files (x86) \ LG Electronics \ LGUP \ model \ common

THIRD

download and extract UPPERCUT

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/development/uppercut-lgup-loader-g5-variants-t3511295

FOURTH

Start exe of uppercut, it'll start LGUP.... meanwhile it is starting connect the phone to the USB of PC.

THEN...

As soon as LGUP recognizes the mobile phone, you have to go to the lower section of the program:

a) activate voice "upgrade"

b) click on the "File Path" space of the first line, then on the button "..."

c) link the file kdz you have downloaded and want flash and press "start" button....

I have already flashed two firmware (HKG DSU and TWN DS and returned on HKG DSU) on my H870DS IRN stopped on Nougat ... and in all cases it works great.

UPDATE - PAY ATTENTION!!!!

on the occasion of the last transition to another region I've bricked my G6.

I downloaded from the linked site to download the various kdz of the various regions, in the name was specific to lg-h870ds, but in reality it was for the LG-h870.

Even if he made the flash via uppercut, the smartphone went into the brick and remains stationary to the logo "LG THINKQ" without giving me any chance of recovery through the known operations.

So, my guide works and is safe if you're sure to flash the correct firmware for lg-h870ds !!!

DISCALIMER: I do not take responsibility for any damage or problems to your mobile phone. everything you do on your mobile phone will be under your full responsibility... if you'll brick it, damn yourself please :)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] patatoso:
I recommend that you choose the firmware to be installed very carefully

and do not forget to download the firmware you have already installed first, checking it in the software info in the phone

1-With your new battery the issue will be gone.I replace mine a few weeks ago and my Nexus 6P feels like a new phone.

2-Do not use any other charger.The best one so far ahead is the stock/original charger.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkelle:
Did for me.

I left the US a few months ago for a long term gig here in mainland China. I brought my 6P with me. It was to the point that within 15 minutes coming off the charger at 100 percent, it would read around 50 percent and shut down. Took it to a Huawei service center here in Shenyang - they wouldn't touch it (claimed it wasn't a Huawei phone, it was a Google phone and I should take it to a Google store when I get back to the US. Talk about clueless (hey Charlie Chan.... what's that vendor mark on the back of the phone??). Anyway, ordered a new battery (cost me about 15 bucks US) and took it to one of the thousands of mom and pop shops that do cell phone service and had them replace the battery. Since then it's like I have a brand new phone. I'm getting usage of 6 - 8 hours of heavy use. I wake up in the mornings after forgetting to put it on the charger ... i'm still at 70 percent. It's awesome!

I haven't come acros this variate before and I'm only in need of a stock ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] pauljulian:
I am not really looking for anything other than stock, myself, either...

But since there is legitimately-purchased software that is useful to me that requires root, that part is important.

I got fed up with Cricket's control-freak attitude, and that I happened to get us on a plan for at least 1/3 less than Cricket, with this device on their free list...

Boost and Samsung don't seem to be as paranoid as Cricket, and I believe it's merely difficult, as it should be, to root this rather than impossible by design.... Difficult, as I guess that from a vendor's standpoint, being swamped with "I bricked it" calls probably got a bit old...

But, yeah... being able to rather painlessly root the beast, with a TWRP set up for this model, and at least a bit of documentation as to how to get it back to factory if I screw it up would be very, very welcome.

I had the ZTE-comparable device to this, and really, this is a sweeter phone... elegant to look at, a big enough screen for my mongo fingers, and enough operating headroom so I don't get impatient waiting for some noble coder to come up with the goods... :D

I have rooted the j737PVPU1ARG3 using magisk
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] pauljulian:
And I believe I've seen the method to do that, but for many, if not most, it's pretty tedious, and really not what most would be willing to try... Lots of potential pitfalls without a simpler method, and really, the possibility of making a paperweight, for many.

I'll be looking to try it, and am trying to find a stock firmware somewhere... Just at present, and always, I'm grateful for those whose passion is development... My programming chops are decades old and rusty...

But remember, the vast majority of members are not idiots... just not quite as technically adept as others, and I'm among those that really would rather wait for a simpler method, and an at least a decent how-to... Done it before with other devices, and I've been around here for years...

It's a seriously rocking device, better than the comparable ZTE I used with Cricket, I know that neither Boost, Sprint, nor Samsung are quite as much paranoid control freaks as Cricket, StraightTalk and the rest...

I am more than certain that it's just merely difficult, as it really should be... "What does this button do?" is not a good thing to hear... I doubt that it's impossible, and I would gather that the code structure is at least similar to its predecessors in the J7 line... has to be...

---------- Post added at 03:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 AM ----------

I actually had a lot of problems, but it finally worked, I'm not exactly sure what I did wrong. Heimdall is not as easy to get directions, it asks for a lot of different things to input. I'm new to using it, I think I was having problems with not using, sudo heimdall-frontend because it was fine first time I did that. I may have been flashing to much stuff in the wrong order, I was stuck on first screen with kernel length to long. I finally got it with sudo and boot img

Thank you for your time¡
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] davidw.roggenkamp:
Perhaps you should make a guide. Heimdall is easy enough to install into Linux Mint via a deb file, as is getting a .pit file from the terminal prompt. My refine is also connected and detected in download mode. However, it is complaining about an xml file missing after I throw a magisk patched boot.img into a tar.gz file and attempt to flash.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] davidw.roggenkamp:
DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Did some more screwing around with Heimdall and got a working root. This is what I've come up with.

Go to Download Mode (hold Volume Down/Home/Power when your phone is off), volume up to continue at confirmation screen

Load up heimdall (sudo hemdall-frontend) at your terminal, enter your password

Pick the Flash Tab, under the PIT options, select browse and load up refine.pit

Click add under partitions, go under partition details and load up boot

Under file (boot.img), hit browse and load up the patched_boot.img

Hit start, the phone will restart and complain that a verification failed.

All your data will be wiped when your phone resets to fix the problem.

It'll go through the normal setup for a new phone.

Download Magisk Manager and install. Not sure if you need to install the needed Magisk zip from the app; I did it ayway.

Download a root checker to confirm.

SMJ737P PIT FIle: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11ZU1O1rddQqVA4VdO2hxeDjCa2Js7I-r/view?usp=sharing

Magisk Patched Boot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rOX9rPCvs-leGX2ak9q0xr9n7VT-vxuS/view?usp=sharing

I created the PIT file from Heimdall using the Terminal prompt. Both the PIT and Magisk Patch were created on the J737PVPU2ARJ2 version of the Refine. Not sure if it'll work for a different version.

Real thanks should go to kilurself5 for taking initiative and succeeding the first time. Some of us had to test it out for ourself and got it working after some fiddling. Thanks dude! :laugh:
