[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sursum:
Hi, I'm trying to learn to use adb/fastboot and here are a few random things I ran across I'd like to ask to understand better how it works.

Does adb work only when the phone's on and usb debugging also on or do some commands also work in other modes? Example: phone's off (Honor 6) and "adb devices" doesn't recognize it but all "adb reboot" commands work no problem, why?

Could some adb commands be blocked by the manufacturer? On another device (Prestigio), "adb reboot recovery" works but "adb reboot bootloader" doesn't do anything. Is there a way to safely stopping a running command?

Example: in the recovery mode, I accidentally started the adb sideload and the phone prompted me to enter the full path to the sideloaded file (in the PC terminal); trying to enter a non-existing path didn't do anything, the sideload screen on the phone was still there; holding the power button didn't help; removing the battery would probably do the trick but it's not removable so is there a safe way to stop the command? Maybe adb kill-server?

Hello, i need some help...

I've already searched and tried a lot of ways to fix my problem but nothing worked.

Suddenly the Wi-Fi of my Op5 stopped working, i cant even turn on... And also the phone doesn't recognize sim cards. The phone isn't rooted.

I've already made factory reset, flashed another rom, cleared cache, etc...

Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Siljorfag:
Check if Your both sim's IMEI and WLAN MAC address are displayed correctly.

Sounds like corrupted EFS partition to me. Try to restore backup (if You have one). I think You can't fix this issue without a backup. So only way is to send it to OP for repair (i guess on warranty it should be free).

Sprint has been troubleshooting this for over a week but no luck. The calling plus button won't activate and I get an error message that I can't turn on calling plus. They have had me factory reset and removed the feature on my plan and added back on. Still no go. I notice that the deactivate calling plus option is greyed out. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello, I would like to know if you are working on any custom rom for the amazon fire hd10 2017.

I ask it because as you have already managed to root the tablet we could use flashfire as in the case of the amazon fire 7 5th gen.

PD: For those who say that first look in the forum I have already done and I have not found anything.

Thanks
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] razakma16:
Ok, I'm planning on getting the G6 plus but need conformation on the battery life as I have excessive paranoia due to my last phone ( LG G3 ) only having less then 3 hours SOT. So what is the SOT on this phone and would it be worth it to get a nokia 7 plus instead as the battery on that is so much better.

- Thanks for the help in advance
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7646815:
Frankly, I'd get the Nokia 7 Plus. Better processor, bigger battery, Android One. This isn't to say that those aren't bad on the G6 Plus, but Lenovo is slow when it comes to updates. I would've gotten the 7 Plus myself if carrier support wasn't going to be iffy in the US.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] razakma16:
Thanks Joe but the 7 Plus would cost me an extra £200 over 24 months and i dont care much for updates, I just want to know if you can get through a day without worrying about the battery ( i've had bad experiences with the likes of the s6 edge and LG G3 ).
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7646815:
My regular G6's 3,000 mAh battery can go through a day just fine, and the G6 Plus's battery is 3,200 mAh, so I'd imagine you'd be able to make it through a full day just fine.

[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] Xplorer4x4:
As a previous owner of an LG G3, I can say this phone blows it out of the water in every single aspect! The phone is incredible faster than an LG G3 and yet I get about double the screen on time. It has quick charge so you can top off your battery in no time. Only have time for a 10-15 minute recharge? Still enough time to probably get an extra hour screen time under typical use.

You really should care about updates. These days it pays to be better safe then sorry and so far Moto has pushed out a security update every month which is good. However, I bet it will be awhile before we see Android Pie officially released but we have a dev working on that!
[Honor 10 Questions & Answers] liquidtimur:
Hello.

Sorry for my **** english at first!

for 3 years i had a galaxy s6 edge. Now i have a honor 10, with the newest updates.

I was in the developer settings

there is only sbc, aac, aptx, aptx HD and HWA

when i try "use system settings standard" or " optional codec" doesnt work either

I only get aptx hd. I also tryed all the other bluetooth settings under the codec settings.

It only shows aptx hd on the sony app and in bluetooth connections..

Why pls help, its one of the reasons why i bought the honor 10..
[Honor 10 Questions & Answers] lstapl:
I'll tell you more. If the wireless headphones support only AAC (Huawei Freebuds for instance) -- Honor 10 will use SBC instead of AAC no matter what you choose in dev-menu. Noone actually cares and noone knows when and if it is fixed. This problem was resolved for Huawei P20 Pro, Huawei P20 and Huawei Mate 10 but not for Honor 10, bluetooth codecs seem to be broken, the issue still persists on the latest (for now) FW 8.1.0.143(COL10).

[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] Deleted member 6507427:
Hi, first I am newbie but have some experiences. I bought phone Honor 7X (BND-AL10) from chinese eshop. I want rebrand phone to (BND-L21C432) and have working Stock OTA updates for Europe. I read some stuff here and around on net, and if I understand correctly I need:

- working adb (done) - https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

- unlocked bootloader (done) - https://www.dc-unlocker.com/ for buying credits (4€) and https://hcu-client.com/ for get bootloader code from phone

- unlocked FRP (done) - Settings -> System -> Developer Options -> Oem Unlock On

- Flashed TWRP (done) - unofficial TWRP 3.1.1-0 OpenKirin Edition(https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579497006)

- root (done) - Magisk 16.7 - https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589

- change text in file root > data > product.bin to "BND-L21C" (done) - with root explorer app

- change text in file root > data > custom.bin to "hw/eu" (done) - with root explorer app

- overwrite "oeminfo" file in folder "/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/" with new "oeminfo" shared with other user who has orginal (done) - https://xdaforums.com/honor-7x/how-to/share-custom-bin-oem-info-t3723605, overwrited by root explorer app

After this I restart phone and get bootloop to Huawei eRecovery, I tryed factory reset and clear cache from there without success. On sdcard I have folder "dload" and there I have "UPDATE.APP" extracted from update.zip, from firmware BND-L21C432CUSTC432D2B331. I tryed flash this firmware with "volume up + volume down but" combo but get error on 5% (Software install failed). When after go to bootloader, my phone is Locked and if I want boot again properly, I must unlock bootloader through "fastboot oem unlock code".

What I doing wrong and how I can recognize if my phone is successfully rebranded ? Thank you.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
I have not rebrand, but have looked at the process extensively in the hwota tool. The bootloader locking when replacing oeminfo file is expected. And in hwota the way they do this is to flash twrp to the e-recovery. So after replace oeminfo and reboot the bootloader, oem unlock bootloader. Then reboot will take you to twrp, not erecovery.

From your position, I hope flashing service rom will get you booted again. Then you can see what model is displayed
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Chiefff21:
Hello everybody

Phone: Motorola Moto 4g Athene. Bought in 2016 in the USA in BestBuy. There is no warranty now.

Firmware: I have used LineageOS. At the moment, the bootloader is locked and the firmware is official (see below)

Problem:

The battery indicator shows 0%. The application "Battery callibration" shows 0mV. I culdn't turn it on directly: after "hello moto!" it is turned off. I managed to enter the system only through the recovery. If you disconnect the charging from the phone, it immediately turns off, because it thinks that the battery is critically low. At the same time in the recovery it works as long and stable as need even without charger. The voltage at the ends of the wires of battery measured by the multimeter was 3.9. After the body stood on the charge it became 4.2. Looks like the battery is charging in normal mode. All other functions of the phone seems to work properly. It seems that the phone is OK, but for some reason "does not know" how many volts there are on the clamps of its battery...

Background:

The body is Motorola Moto 4g Athene. It heated a lot all the time after purchase. As a result, the official battery have dead after one year. I bought a new one from the internet. (I am not in the US now. Motorola do not certified here. So there is no official parts, stores and service centers). The new one also died in a couple of months. During the replacement of the third battery, the plug on the board broke off. The wires from the new battery had to soldered directly to the board ... The third battery also died in a couple of months, and I have bought a fourth. Soldered. Here this funny Bug appeared.

Attempts to resolve:

Initially, it was LineageOS 14.1 installed. I did a Wipe of everything except internal data. Nothing changed. Then I rolled back to native firmware with locked recovery. Nothing. I made a Factory reset. Nothing. I have resoldered contacts from the battery wires to the board 5-6 times. Nothing has changed. :eek:

There is an idea that I overheated something on the board. Charge controller or something else. Nevertheless I can’t understand why the body works normally, except that it does not understand how many volts there are in the battery?

As a temporary solution, I consider the installation of some kind of software, which would not allow the android to turn off when the battery is low. In this case, I will charge the phone every 15-16 hours and everything will be OK. Do you have any idea about such kind of software?

Any other ideas are welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sunking101:
Since installing the July security patch my Note 8 now just says 'Android system fast charging'. It used to give the approximate time left until fully charged. Can anyone confirm that they have the same issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pandadai00:
Mine still shows the time left. HOWEVER, the same case happens to me even with the previous updates. This happens to me whenever my phone heats a little bit too much while charging and the percentage doesn't actually go up. What I do to fix this is unplugged and let it cool for about a minute or so then plug back in. It should show the time remaining and continue charging as normal.

Note that my phone only 'overheats' when I'm charging it with a powerbank (with QC 3.0) inside my bag or anywhere confined.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zubair1836:
Please don't ignore this thread, I have tried all guides and methods. Still Stuck:

So, I have LG G2 F320S (32GB).

Only Download Mode is working: Shows User B890 and ROOTED.

I can't flash any kdz file using LG Flash Tool 2014: It gives error at 2% (Searched all about it, Some people say driver probelm, So I tried uninstalling the drivers and install them again: No sucess. Tried another PC: Same problem)

Tried TOT method: P.S. There is no .tot firmware available for this device. So I tried kdz instead. It gives error: Failed Previous Load() : (Searched it, Nothing found)

Tried LGUP: It cant identify model number: i.e. It requires device to be on.

How I reached here:

1. Device was working totally fine on official KitKat. No official updates. So, I found a .kdz Lollipop for it. I flashed it using LG Flash Tool 2014. Booted up nicely but I was facing a bug: Dead Sleep (screen wont wake up sometimes once locked, although touch was working, Tried some guides to fix that But no success).

2. Found a Custom ROM by Cloudyfa running Lollipop here, Rooted the device, Installed TWRP v2.8.7. Flashed the ROM: Booted up nicely but Dead Sleep persisted.

So, Tired from everything: I wanted to revert to stock by using KitKat kdz: Put the phone in Download mode and tried to flash the KK kdz: Error at2%. It has been days :( .

P.S. The kdz I am using is fine as I once flashed it on the device in between all that flashing thing and this firmware was stable.

Hey all its that time of year again where we get all excited about the new note phone here in the good old United Kingdom.

Feel free to post All UK based news and preorder Info etc.

Are you jumping on board, which phone are you coming from what features made you switch or upgrade.

Pricing Information as of announcement day

£1099 for 512gb

£899 for 128gb

£400 trade in value for Note8

No pre order gifts in the UK

Paypal is standard offer i.e credit charge for 6 -24 months, or 0% if paid off in 4 months (paypal standard offer)

Quidco currently giving back 4% as of 11th August, however if you use a trade in device it will be 4% off the discounted price not the full retail price. I.e its roughly £15 on the 128gb and £19 on the 512gb

For myself I have had nearly every note since the first one. Alas note 7 was my fave, and currently have the 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pigglett:
I bought my Note 8 outright but looking to trade it in this time around

As for the Upgrade you don't need to have a phone as your starting a fresh upgrade program , So you would then just trade in your Note 9 next year (I would read T&C`s tho as good few caveats in there that made me go hmmmm)

Tho if Samsung do the Paypal 0% again that looks a better deal

Tho if they do the paypal 0% offer again that's a better option

The reason they gave was absurd to be honest and I was really close to having a full blown argument with them. They said they had examined my phone and it was in perfect condition, however if they let me give it to them next week there was no guarantee it would be in the same condition then, to which I said, you have eyes and can reexamine the phone again and obviously cancel my contract if the condition was not acceptable.

This has probably been discussed in other phone forums in the past, but does anyone know why Samsung seem to give away more extras with their new phones in other regions compared to the UK?

As far as I understand, they have provided some freebies in the past (Dex or Gear VR with Note8) to the UK, but I get the impression other markets always seem to get more, or a higher value of products, or am I misled in my thinking?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
I guess its cos we are either mugs or rich according to Samsung lol???

Probably more likely that they have much bigger competition in the states from Apple whom have a bigger market share there, where as in the uk the need to offer extras is less needed as they have a healthy market share. (and not a brexit excuse in sight lol :D:D)

So I will be selling my note 8 for £400 then buying one again at £769 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alfred_mcskee:
I was looking at the Samsung trade in T&C's yesterday and it says if you decide to return your new phone, they will try and return your old one, but cannot guarantee it. If your old phone has already been "recycled", then you will be offered a refund based on the value of what your old phone model currently sells for through their recycling/reseller's website. So potentially, you could get a different value to what your trade in value was, good or bad...

Least that's how I read it.
