[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] DoctorRzepa:
Hello there. Is it worth to buy this phone now? How long may it be supported by community devs? Are there any alternatives for ~250$ (in regards of battery and hardware)? I am looking for a smartphone with battery larger than 3000mAh or with AMOLED screen (or both of these options). It would be nice bonus if it was smaller than 15cm in height.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] gagankprajput:
This phone is a beast still today because of active development by the developers. If you want a pbone with both amoled and battery above 3000 mah in 250$ range than the only option is Samsung J8. So my suggestion to you is go for the xiaomi redmi note 5 Pro or wait for the MiA2.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] DoctorRzepa:
Actually, in my country Lenovo P2 is avaible for ~200$. Is it a good deal?
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] sahil_alam:
i won't say it is a good deal in this price ..but will be a great deal if you get it under $150 . you can get a better device in 250 nowadays with a little less of a battery strength but it will be fine for a days use .
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Volkan Mutlu:
best phone for its specs in its price range imo,also a lot of software developments going on for it also makes it a fine choice...yes its still worths it.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] quantic.chaos:
I would definitely buy it again. My only concern would be the state of the battery since these phones have being on shelves for quite a while now. I don't know if that would affect battery life and I would like to know it, though (If anyone does).
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Kiki.G:
Great deal !
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Chillmann:
LiPo-batteries don't age (lose capacity) that much over time.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] quantic.chaos:
Thanks for the reply. I also made some research and it's true that two years is not a lot for a well stored Li-Ion battery.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] genesian2k15:
does someone know where we can still buy a Lenovo P2 (P2A42 version) ? mine felt in water and seems to be dead...
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] DoctorRzepa:
In my country (Poland) it is still available in many internet shops (dual sim version).
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] quantic.chaos:
I've seen them in Chinese stores like aliexpress dot com.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] genesian2k15:
i think i found one but 349€ and not sure it is p2a42 and not p2c72
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] pabgar:
I confirm. This phone factory new can be bought in Poland from 220$ up.

And I my opinion it is still great battery, hassle free phone.

From some time I am looking for something new for exchange but..... I am still happy to live without power socket for few days. No new phone comes even close to P2 battery endurance ( I do not count monsters like Ulefone Power with ridiculous MTK processors )
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] genesian2k15:
yes but it is not the real p2a42 it is a p2c72 with rom of p2a42 and the problem is about frequency bands for fdd lte (4g) wich are not the same...

---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

in wich store? is it possible to order online? are you sure it's p2a42 version?
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] DoctorRzepa:
It is 3/32 dual sim on snapdragon. Where are you from?
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] genesian2k15:
yes mine was 3/32 imported from italy cause there was none here (France)
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] DoctorRzepa:
I wish I could help you but probably none of local internet shops makes it abroad.

First, we have a site ceneo.pl which seeks for best offers for given product. You can use that to look at polish shops. Important note: Allegro is an auction site and some offers there may be a scam.

But you may try to contact other site's service and ask if transaction from France is possible. Google translate should be enough to find contact info on these.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] genesian2k15:
what do you think about this one? :

https://acom.pl/p/468/52013/smartfo...ry-smartfony-telefony-telefony-i-tablety.html

for the payment the seller talk abotu sending proforma...:confused:
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] DoctorRzepa:
It's hard to say. This is 4GB version, but no info about 800Mhz LTE band. Did you got mail from seller?
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] genesian2k15:
yes and it is not a new one it's a used one..;do you think it worth it?
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] DoctorRzepa:
I'm concerned about battery health. If it was used as a demo in the shop, probably connected to charger all the time and packed up back with 100% charge, it could lost some of capacity over the time. Too bad seller does not provide real foto to show the scratches and other marks after using.

If the seller is willing to send it to France and 250$ is good price for you AND you accept the risk (parcel could be lost - how about insurance(?), battery and/or case condition may be not so good) - this may be the way to go. Shipping is free, but not sure about international option.

Did you try to contact other sellers? There may be better options.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] genesian2k15:
selling is 40e to France i'll see later..; have to go to work to south of France thx for ur help catch u later !:good::D
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] mr_moneroj:
Ok, so let me start this off by saying I feel kind of dumb right now. I am really new to all this.

I bought a motog5s, and rooted it with super su.

I tried to add a different OS rom (several actually).

I ended up messing up somehow and deleting my backup of the stock rom which I nandroid saved on twrp-3.1.1-sanders.img

I now have a phone with no Operating Sytem. I had twrp-3.1.1-sanders.img and tried to upgrade to twrp-sanders-r2.img which worked but, deleted my backup of stock rom install when i deleted the internal storage like a moron, also didn't help me install a rom w/o error messages so then I upgraded to twrp-sanders-r16.img, which worked also. But now I get error 7 every time I try to install any rom.

Right now my phone has just twrp-sanders-r16.img and no operating system.

How do I resolve the error 7 and error 255(i was getting earlier but now just error 7), and install an operating system? I wanted to get pixel experience working which was what got me all turned around in the first place. I also tried Cosmic, Arrow, AOSPext all of which where in the XDA roms forum(for Moto G5S, Sanders) but kept getting error 255 then I tried to do a fix (deleted assert command from a file in the rom with text editor, but kept saying my ZIP files weren't the proper format, I have ubuntu linux on my computer...which should work) and it stopped giving error 255 and now gives error 7.

I have tried sidebooting, and also many different roms and all give errors. I also had lots of trouble with Open Gapps/larger files/Roms when trying to download on my cpu and then move/copy to my phone's internal storage so I don't know how to resolve that either.

I now want to get a solid rom OS on here ( that's noob friendly) and root with magisk of which i have DL'd 16.0 & Magisk Manager 5.8.3 (last stable release i think)

How do I fix this? Please help!

thank you very much for any help in advance.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] treyweez11:
First off make sure you have a Moto G5s Plus not the smaller variant. If it's a Plus, than fastboot flash this twrp recovery and try downloading a fresh ROM, gapps, and also Magisk. Flash those guys and you should be good.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] mr_moneroj:
when i try to flash the rom i get error 7 and it won't install.

Sorry meant to put this link to update twrp. See if this version will clear you of the error
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] mr_moneroj:
Awesome, I will give it a go. Appreciate your help. Thank you.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] mr_moneroj:
Ok I flashed TWRP R20 and it's now on my phone.

I tried flashing Lineage OS, got error 7.

Tried flashing the version of Lineage OS where I deleted the assert code from the beginning of the Updater-Script (which was supposed to fix it.) Instead, I get an error saying it's an improperly formatted zip file.

What solution can I try for resolving this error 7? It happens with every single rom I try.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] treyweez11:
Just try a fresh downloaded room
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] xtasquee:
kinda' haven't rooted except for other ppl much in the past decade, but i just did this phone and from what i understand, first of all flashing magisk on top of supersu seems like a bad idea since they alter complely different directories. pretty sure you'd want to stick with one or the other unless you reverted to stock first. other than that, did you reformat your system partition on the first try? did you wipe before trying other roms?
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] AkshayTh9:
stuck with same error.

stuck with exact same error 7, did you got any solution, plz send if any, thank you:(

[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Sanjay.it:
I think ! you should trying " Back to Stock Rom by XDA"
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] AkshayTh9:

i made some changes in team-win recovery and while flashing some commands giving errors is that a problem with my pc system

and can i downgrade to 7.1.1 firmware, previously i was on 8.1 june 2018

any reply is appreciated, thank you
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] i2kp2:
I had a similar problem. While trying to flash liquid_remix ROM I kept getting error 7. I checked and saw that my system partition was not mounted in TWRP. After mounting it the ROM flashed fine.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] AkshayTh9:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squirvel:
So I'm in a scenario where I'll end up needing to install lineage with a custom kernel for around 15 devices or so. Typically the word of the wise on flashing is to obviously just install a custom recovery and install system images through there. However, since I'm going to need to do this in bulk it becomes more of a thing to script out, and flash images via fastboot. Though this shouldn't ever *reasonably* be an issue, I'd like to make a backup of the entire phone's nand, including the partitions associated with actual phone things. Though I believe that this should be reasonably accomplished by dd'ing /dev/block/mmcblk0, I want to make sure there are no other storage mediums on the phone that could be altered by fastboot that I'm overlooking. Thanks!

Google stopped building in Miracast after android L. Motorola doesn't alter much of the Google Software the way that PC designers don't add much on top of Windows. There is no Miracast support out the box.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] abhinn124:
I haven't been able to receive OTA updates ever since I upgraded to OREO via Odin(couldn't wait). I am still on the March security patch.There have been a number of updates since then. I have checked to see if I have the correct region firmware installed (the CRC file) which was correct. Then I tried updating via Smart Switch which didn't work. I also tried wiping cache(don't want to factory reset) which didn't work. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] me2151:
You need to flash back to the ota path. so carrier firmware that wasnt beta stuff

No, I never flashed any beta firmware. I just flashed the Official Oreo Release Firmware pertaining to my region yet I am not receiving updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] AnasBF:
Hello everyone, so i installed the bootloader BR2 in the lineageOs 15.1 thread, but now i want to get back to Nougat. Anyone have the right bootloader?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
What do you mean the right boot loader?

If you install Nougat the boot loader will be updated also.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] AnasBF:
Hi, thanks for your reply.

I installed a new boot loader as recommanded in a thread to upgrade to Oreo this is the bootloader :https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=275894

Then when I tried to get back to lineageOs 14.1 the tablet went into boot loop. So i guessed the new bootloader was not compatible with Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
When you say Nougat, do you mean official or custom?

Either way if it's Lineage 14.1 then I should think any Nougat boot loader will suffice.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] AnasBF:
I guess any Nougat bootloader will do, because i was able to flash lineage 14.1 with the stock boatloader before.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] 3manu96:
Hey guys,

I'm currently facing this weird visual glitch on my keyboard that it seems to be related to the Samsung Themes.

So every once in a while my keyboard starts to break the alpha of the buttons whenever I press on them. The keys starts to change from being translucent to being opaque.

This only happens with themes that have a transparency effect added on the keyboard.

Video attached:

https://youtu.be/AM44QfU5YDM

Please refrain from suggesting any third-party keyboard apps / changing to high-contrast samsung keyboard / wiping the cache+data.

~Thank you!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] 1911luver:
I was wondering if the tilt will work in japan,being its a quad band phone?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sherpa:
If you want to use a local sim, then make sure your Tilt is unlocked, but, to answer your question, yes, it will work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] psfong:
Yes, confirmed can use, given its quad band capabilities. However, note that I'm using HTC tytn II.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Cavey.co.uk:
I doubt it will work everywhere. As far as I am aware, Japan predominantly uses CDMA and GSM availability is more limited. If you're in Tokyo you should be fine, but when I was in Osaka 18 months ago I didn't manage to find a signal at all...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dejanet:
You won't find GSM anywhere in Japan but should be able to find W-CDMA/HSPDA almost anywhere.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smjoshi:
I am right now in Japan carrying an unlocked phone. It works just as well as anywhere. There is no GSM anywhere in Japan but the Tilt also supports WCDMA which is what is used here. Usual Quad band (850/900/188/1900 Mhz) GSM Only phones wont work in Japan.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smjoshi:
Oops that should have read (850/900/1800/1900)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cproaudio:
doesnt Japan uses 2100mhz WCDMA band just like rest of asia and europe? The Kaiser's WCDMA band has 850/1900/2100
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tai4de2:
I just passed through Narita 2 days ago and during the layover I turned on my Tilt. It picked up a DoCoMo HSDPA signal (I was surprised!).

So, I can confirm that at least as far as getting a signal goes, there is potential for it to work. However, I have no ideas about the prospect of getting a prepaid local SIM that would actually allow you to make and receive calls.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ms0529:
Japan uses WCDMA 2100 Mghz. I go to Japan every 2-3 months and my Tilt works just fine, from Tokyo, Shizuoka, Fuji, Osaka, Kyoto, and on and on. Only comment, power draw on the Japanese networks is noticiably higher than US or EU.

This is why I went to Tilt, for use in Japan and South Korea. I have successfully used the phone in Japan, S. Korea, China, Finland, Germany, Holland, France, UK, Poland, Russia, so far so good.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eluth:
ATT Tilt does work in Japan!

Like said before, it does work.

I used it several times in Japan, on Softbank 3G and DoCoMo.

Note that I had my Tilt flashed with the original HTC Tytn II ROM.

Also, if you want cheap calls in Japan, get a United Mobile +423 SIM.

You cannot get a local SIM if you are not a resident in Japan.

It's free incoming calls and $0.45 for outgoing to most destinations.

Works great. See http://www.united-mobile.com

The ICQ Sim from the same company (http://www.icqsim.com/) should work too, but I haven't tested it.

Hello I just bought and installed a head unit from ebay. It is the android 8.0 A53 with 4gb ram. I picked this model because in the ad it says the screen is a 1024x600 resolution. After I installed my head unit and looked it is only running 800x480, Model Px5. I did try and search the issue and see if there is some setting I need to change but didn't find anything so far. Did I get sent a lower resolution model or is there some setting/firmware update I need to unlock the higher resolution?

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] dkadds2:
Hi Guys,

I've got fresh SM-G960F/DS (Duos) in international version from German seller and whilst checking CSC regions got below.

What does it mean that I have so many CSC code empty?

Only "Active CSC Code" is DBT as I'm connected to T-Mobile but funny enough it is outside of Germany or France and with French Orange SIM card (yeah, I know it doesn't make too much sense, though this is situation). Somehow "Active CSC Code" shows "DBT" though I'm unsure if it is due to:

a) French Orange SIM card logged in to T-Mobile (outside of Germany),

b) because phone was purchased in Germany.

Another interesting observation - after sliding in SIM card for the first time it asked me to restart the phone to "activate SIM card settings". One second SIM was slided in, new message popped up, though this time mentioning that if I want to use new SIM card settings, phone needs to be reset and all my data will be lost. That card was from Polish telecom (Play old telco behind H3G - in the past).

This is really weird and I'm wondering if I'd use Odin, which firmware should I use? DBT or maybe XEU or maybe something from France as SIM 1.

Will it have impact on Bands available for the phone?

Let's assume I'll flash DBT or XEU via Odin, will it populate "Original/Firmware/Available CSC Code" fields? If yes, what is pro/cons?

SM-960F

Manufacturing date: 2018.05.21

anybody here that can help me? I was trying to install a custom rom but apparently i messed up big time ... First i followed a tutorial that says that i have to unlock my device first so that's what i did.... then it got stuck on a black screen with the text "your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted .... Your device will boot in 5 seconds .... " But it doesn't. It just keeps displaying that screen. The only thing i can do is going into TWRP (3.2.1-0) .... what should i do now? i just want the phone back to normal, so no custom roms or anything ....

How??
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
How long did you leave your device booting on that 'your device is unlocked' screen? Sometimes the initial boot after unlocking can be up to 5 minutes as your device got wiped by the unlock.

What state is your device in at the moment - i.e what firmware do you have on your device and is it just TWRP you have flashed? If you tried to flash a custom ROM did you erase /system, /data and /cache in TWRP before installing the custom ROM? Which custom ROM have you tried to flash?
