hey

I bought an used note 5 (n920PVPS2BPD1) from china and I am living in Egypt

in every call usually after 5 minutes it disconnect and pop up message appears "sim card removed" and I should restart

also it occurs when I am using mobile data.

my useless trials based on internet comments >

1.the mobile was already rooted so I flashed a new custom rom and the same occurs

2.no 4g forced when I was using a 4g sim (Vodafone)

3.used 3g SIM instead of 4g and auto 3g-2g applied

4.2g only sometimes

5.added simple plaster tape over the sim to hold it in the tray

I cant even sell the phone here because of this and any engineer here suggested to open the phone and change the whole sim tray. so before labeling it as a hardware issue would someone help me in this ?

ill be so grateful :)

Maybe forget about a 3 year old phone?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cewrld:
Just use small thin tape to fix the position of sim card on the sim card tray. That worked for me on my 3 years old note5
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prerna:
I'm tempted to also think it's to do with the sim tray. Last comment is interesting, or you could add several layers of tape to the sim to have more pressure with the contacts in the tray.

First thing I would do is try cleaning the contacts by inserting in and out 20 the sim 20 times. If nothing of the above work, then have someone to open the device and clean the sim tray contacts with alcohol, or change the tray if you're able to find a replacement.

Help needed!

Looking for an app which allowes me to move and use the phone like a mouse using the accelerometers x/y data. Meaning moving the phone on the table forward and backward would move the mousepointer on the pc forward and backward.

With the phone on the table the movement - just like a mouse - would be transfared to the pc and the touchscreen would only offer two buttons and and maybe a "scrollwheel(slider or so)".

I think i had an app like this once, but can't find it anymore. Been going through most mouse, gyro and accelerometer apps on both android and ios.

Only found mouse apps that use the touchscreen or airmouse-like ones, but i need one that mimics a mouse or at least some app that allows me to translate x & y movement of the phones accelerometer data to mouse movements via a simple(no programming) app/software combination.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mooseload:
I posted this on the AT&T board and got no responses so I figured I would try here. I am constantly on call for my job (USAF), and to avoid carrying 2 cells, I forward my "on-call" cell to my personal cell. My old phone (nokia 6682) displayed an icon with incoming calls so I could identify it, allowing me to answer my phone officially. I have noticed on the Tilt that there is no such identifier and was hoping someone could tell me how to enable it if it is hidden somewhere....I hate not knowing if the call is official when I dont recognize the number or its not in my contact list.

Thanksfor the help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxmagna:
I've had my rooted phone in what I thought was every stage of brick and boot loop but with TWRP as recovery and all the tricks I've been able to get it back - UNTIL I stupidly hit the erase option in MTKs flash tool. :crying: I think I now have a permanent brick to share for a solution with no easy way out.

My device running Oreo encrypts fingerprint data in an encrypted /data partition. I couldn't understand why I never got a tick in TWRP to backup the data section until now. I don't think it will ever come, because the encryption algorithm would have to be broken? I have the manufacturer ROM image which I used to recover o.k several times, but no source code files to try to build a custom rom . Unfortunately, the sad thing about Oreo is it seems so secure and they decided to put the IMEIs in the same encrypted data partition which I've wiped. :crying: So my device appears fully functional with apps & wifi working, no fingerprint I can live with, but it can't make a phone connection. It's therefore really 'bricked!

Whatever I try I can't find a way to disable encryption to try the older methods of restoring the IMEI data files. Frustratingly I can change the EXT4 data partition to FAT with TWRP and see the IMEI data isn't there, but can't make any changes to the file structure that stick. Ideally if I could stop encryption or get Nougat on the device I could then work rooted on the /data partition, but there is no bottom up custom rom available for my device. I suspect future custom roms will leave the encrypted partition alone, which won't help me or others in the same situation. Oreo seems to have done a good job on encryption, but it's a pity they also encrypted the wireless data which makes the phone work.

Some have reflashed from Oreo back to Nougat but unless their Nougat image flash included the IMEI data or it was added I think they would have the same problem as me. Oreo seems a one way trip to putting your phone IMEI wireless data in its encrypted partition where it seems impossible to recover for a downgrade. I have tools to build the wireless files but can't modify the Oreo /data section whilst encryption is active. My device is fairly new and was never sold with an older Android ROM I could flash to downgrade, replace wiped wireless data and 'upgrade' back to Oreo. Lesson learned, don't buy a new model Oreo!

If anybody has ideas to get me out of this hole I'd like some help or pointers but I only have the manufacturer Oreo ROM image to work with.

Thanks

So I decided to reinstall the stock bootloader and rom from my s9+ and after I did Fortnite still wouldn't work, Even after disabling OEM unlock and usb debugging

However I fixed this by going in to the stock bootloader (bixby button + volume up + power) and cleared the cache, After that it worked fine
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] xXSantyXx:
Hi,

I have a MI8 with MIUI 9 Global, the 9.5.13, and i recorded a video today on a loud environment, and the sound is really bad, if it is too loud, you can't really hear anything because i assume it tries to remove background noise and ends up messing up everything, even my Redmi note 3 pro has better results. Is there any software fix, some custom camera app, or anything that i can do to try and fix it? Is it even just me?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Skeoph:
Hello,

Can you share the video? I wanna hear if it's like on my redmi note 4 when I record a video in loud concerts.

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] johnxarma:
Just update to miui 10 and the sound will be great. It was a bug on miui 9
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Crossvxm:
MIUI 10 does not resolve the issue. He is most likely talking about how it picks up ambient noise and seems to amplify it. If you have a standard in door house fan or an AC on, you will hear it in the video, something that most other phones don't really pick up, or at least not nearly as much as the Mi 8. It's annoying and was one of the main reasons I was going to purchase the Mi Mix 2S instead. In the end I chose the Mi 8 due to the better battery life. This was one of the videos I watched to compare the cameras, and you can really see the difference between the two.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] skyeking69:
I'm new to the OP6 coming over from the 5t. I was on the beta 12version OS on the5t which worked perfect for me.

5.1.9 is the only version I have had with the 6

But I have noticed:

- WiFi is hard to connect at times..have to reboot phone from time to time

- scrolling is slow and uneasy not smooth at all

- cameras auto focus is very slow at times, also I have to hit the shutter button several times before it will take photo

- from time to time won't recognize my fingerprint...

I don't know if it's just me or others are having the same issues with 5.1.9?? I hope they fix these issues with the next update...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] manny18pr:

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Mord0rr:
Except the camera sucks, from focus to take good pictures all the rest i also don`t have problems...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] floridaman:
I don't really use the camera on any device I've had, so can't really comment on those issues.

However, over all being new to OnePlus myself first one I got the 6 I have to say the software on this device sucks. It's buggy, it's outdated and overall a complete and utter mess.

Wifi issue that I see and many others complaining about is that it constantly wants to stick with a weaker signal rather than handing off to the stronger one. I know this is an easy fix in an update by raising the threshold as on one of my Asus devices we had this problem and people were complaining and they rolled out a fix in a couple of weeks.

I also along with many others have networking issues where the device does not want to connect after being on Wifi or in an area where there is no signal at all. Upon exiting such area the phone just refuses to reconnect to the network and you have to use the airplane mode on/off in order to get it to reconnect. A few times, I've had to remove the sims completely to reconnect.

A few times, the phone has just frozen for a few seconds, no matter what you hit it doesn't do anything and in a few occasions the phone goes completely black like it is off and then comes back.

Sometimes you have to enter the password in a few times for it to accept, but I've also had the same issue with the fingerprint sensor.

Their dialer is complete and utter rubbish. Call drops, call waiting disconnects all callers, good luck with conference calling, they've disabled call recording. And because of the convoluted way they've done their settings 3rd party apps can't operate fully because they can't access the settings and return error messages.

IMO this phone is all hype with no substance behind it. If they don't fix their issues and quick this company will go the way of others, burning hot and heavy in the beginning with people singing praises how great it is and a year from now won't be a blip on anyone's radar.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] shailo:
Mate just reflash or return it. No one else has these issues. So either you are exaggerating or your ROM/device is faulty.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] floridaman:
How can you even say that? Their own forum is filled with complaints with networking issues, wifi issues, dropped calls, fingerprint and password not working. OnePlus even acknowledged the networking issues and said there was a fix in a past update. So you're saying that there is no issues even though OnePlus admitted there was?

Noone? Really, every single other person that has the OP6 doesn't have any issue at all? Clearly others do have the same issues, otherwise people wouldn't be complaining about them.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Mord0rr:
None of those problems.....so maybe something you install/done is affecting the phone.

Im a minimalist, so i did install basic things....everything works flawless....except the stupid camera...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] zer0xp:
Use the fastboot roms in here and reflash the entire phone. Something is definitely wrong with your device. Let's just hope it's a software issue.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] skyeking69:
Thanks for the input from all.... I think I might know the issue.... I'm rooted and I can't remember if I did a wipe dalvik/cache at the end... I'll reload it later today...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] thejase:
I have had this issue before but never really had it often enough to consider it an issue until it was explained like this. I thought it was just my network (metro pcs) so I never really gave it much thought. Usually, I reboot and thought that was the only way to get it working again. Now I will try airplane mode. Thanks for this info!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] theaxis01:
I wouldn't use the one plus forum as a reference. The vast majority of issues are from Indian members and most issues aren't issues at all. They tend to have VERY high battery expectations, refuse to keep their apps updated, and seem to lack the general knowledge of how to search for solutions before starting redundant threads.

That's not a knock on the Indian population as a whole. Just what I've noticed over the last couple months there.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] floridaman:
I'm well aware of what their forum is like, this isn't my first rodeo. I'm educated enough to realize that a lot of the complaints on that board are coming from a certain segment and 70% of it is utter and complete nonsense. But if you're going to throw out the baby with the bath water then you miss some real and crucial things. And just because a board is littered with ridiculous questions and a bunch of fanboys doesn't mean there aren't some problems and "no one" has issues. In particular when OnePlus already has admitted to some issues. One should also not assume anyone with a problem doesn't know how to update their device, or has tons of apps installed, and overall doesn't know how to use a device. You know what they say about assumptions.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Donnie Sins:
I think you shouldn't take the 'no one else' part too literally. I guess you - and other who apparently reported the same issues - are unfortunately enough part of a small group with a lot of issues with their device. But most of us aren't experiencing these problems and just have a great device with great software.

Hopefully you can work out what the solution is.

Not sure why it would drain battery so much?

Hi!

My cellular network supports wifi calling, and lists the latest devices by Apple, Samsung, LG and Huawei on its supported device list.

With changing my browser's user agent I was able to successfully sign up to the service, but still I do not have the wifi calling setting shown up in my dialer settings.

Is it possible I'm not getting the menu shown because of my device not officially supported by my carrier? Is there any chance of force showing the menu?

Running the put global wfc_ims_mode 2 command in ADB shell did not help sadly.

Hi:

Has anyone found a reasonably high quality case for the LG X Venture/X Calilbur V9?

I love my X Venture, but I've already tried 3 cases for it. The first case-a MiniTurtle was complete garbage-unusable.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y2KZPD9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The second one, a Spevert, sold on Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073XCWJ6P/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

was almost usable, but provided minimal protection, and was also somewhat junky.

The third, a Zizo Bolt, looked to be quite well-made in many ways, and provides good protection. However, the buttons are inline or even slightly recessed from the edge of the case, and also stiff. That makes them extremely difficult to press. The case is also a little too slippery in the hand.

Does anyone know of a quality case for the X Venture? I'd prefer all TPU for grip, but two layers would be fine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichBordoni:
I'm using an Incipio NGP case and I really like it. I wish it was clear because I really like the design of the X venture and I would prefer not to hide it, but the case does give a nice extra layer of protection and I really like how it makes the buttons feel (the buttons on my phone require barely any force to press, which I really don't like. The case provides a little bit of extra stiffness so it makes the buttons feel a lot better. Definitely not too stiff though). It's also pretty grippy, but not quite as grippy as the bare back of the phone in my opinion.

I also tried a Speck clear case and I really didn't like it. It made the buttons feel awful and the material that it's made of - I didn't like how it felt in the hand and it's also totally smooth so it has much less grip than the bare back of the phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shplad:
Thanks Rich. Is it fairly thick as cases go, thin, or somewhere in between?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shplad:
Rich:

Thanks. Compared with other cases, is it thick, thin, or somewhere in between? Any chance you could measure its thickness? It's made of TPU, right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichBordoni:
It's decently thick, a little bit more than I expected, and it feels very sturdy. It's not one of those cheap thin cases. If I had to guess I would say it's somewhere around 1.5mm thick. I don't know if it's made out of TPU but the website says it's made out of a polymer material. It's flexible but still feels very sturdy.

I don't know if this will help at all but I took a picture of the back camera cutout so you can kinda get an idea of how thick the case is: https://i.imgur.com/BdDx5zo.jpg Like I mentioned before, to me it looks like maybe 1 - 1.5mm.
