[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Kilo__:
While my phone was wholly stock, I am not new to phone rooting or custom ROMS. I bought the phone from someone who was trying to unlock it. They screwed something up and couldn't get the phone to boot. I bought it, flashed the NPN25.137-35 image after reading plenty of XDA posts about it. This one was the Retus / North America stock image. Flashed using the suggested guidelines that are along the lines of "fb_oem_mode ... flash oem oem.bin ... flash partition sparsechunk1.img" (Something like that). That got it running and once booted, it had many OTAs update in quick succession. After about a week the phone started having trouble. Google apps would crash frequently, then non-google apps started crashing and restarting my phone. After one said restart, the phone would only bootloop. I tried rebooting into recovery to do a factory reset and got the bootloader instead. I can go take a look at the bootloader and see if it says it's secure / oem or what
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] NZedPred:
Try flashing just the stock recovery, as it sounds like that is corrupt. Ideally you'd want to get a recovery that was the same build as you were on after all the OTAs had installed. At least you'd hope that that would give you the factory reset option.

If that doesn't work, there's fastboot commands to erase user data, cache, which would be pretty much what a factory reset would do. Hope you had your data backed up.

Oreo OTA came out recently. Someone grabbed the update file and uploaded it. I was able to flash it and get the phone to boot. The verdict is still out on if it'll be stable.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] CrAiGaT:
My wife has had the P20 from the week it was released in the UK. The battery life has been really poor, she is what I would consider a light user on a 4GB contract which she rarely troubles and with a tablet for use at home. She has taken to carrying a portable charger with her to make sure she got through the day. I had checked for any obvious drains, even turning off bluetooth, gps etc. But from a full charge in the morning, she would struggle to have any battery left by the evening, compared to me (a slightly heavier user) having about 40-50% left on my Samsung S9.

However at some point in the last week something has changed, she is suddenly going to bed with about 60-70% battery left.

Anyone else had similar? Has there been a significant update recently (to either the phone software or some other app)?

My mate 10 after a few updates, i actually use my phone to work, work 8 am to 6 pm get home and i forgot to charge the phone last night, woke up with 72% battery and was wondering if i should bother charging.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] delphy100:
I think it has to do with the npu
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Al3xxxinho:
I experienced the same after the last update. Before the update it would not last more than 4h sot with 1h voice calls. Now i can get 5h sot with 1.5h voice calls and still have like 30% remaining.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] g_oral:
i have experienced increased temperature heat. dont know what is causing it.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] sentientbeing:
Same here! But I just noticed it last night before going to bed (had it on full charge), woke up 8 hrs later and the battery only drained by 1% (only Wifi is on). Not even sure if the update was even downloaded without me knowing. But before this the battery for me was performing quite well, coming home in the evening with still 40-50% left.

Hey whats up! Surprised not more people talking about the release. Samsung is selling the Verizon LTE version. Can I buy this version now and use it with Criketwireless (they use att network) or other? Or we don't know yet? I am not sure how all that works. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] rickyray9:
all of my verizon branded devices from the last couple years will allow a non-verizon sim, but will have a big fat triangle exclaimation mark notification that never leaves the notification panel stating that a non-verizon sim card is inserted.

I do not have experience with this device, but I imagine they will do the same thing. @_@

Picked up the Verizon model SM-T837V , and have it working on AT&T. (Colorado)

Not getting very good speeds, had to set the values for the AT&T apn , maybe i did that wrong. None the less it is working on AT&T shows as HSPA+ network under Sim status
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] SovRoxx:
Oh so works on att.. Can I ask where you got it so quickly? Verizon store has it? How much cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] bannor57:
Verizon store by my house had them. apparently only has the 64gb model.. One thing i noticed it would not check for system updates unless I was on wifi.. if i was on ATT it gave some sort of authentication error when i checked for updates..was worried but then tested under wifi and it had no issue.. I do get a "not Verizon sim " warning that seems to be caused by an app called "Setup Wizard" , which i force stopped and the warning went away... (until reboot of course)

Was 729 $ , I want to replace my ipad pro on ATT with this, I just wonder what other issues I may encounter later using a Verizon tablet on ATT. I wonder would it be better just to leave it on Verizon and pay for both Verizon and Att data plans.. Verizon coverage at my house is horrible so I would rather not switch my cell phone over from att, but the tab would be on wifi at home so......
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] apascual89:
Hi, are you still only getting hspa speeds?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] bannor57:
Took around town with me yesterday and tested a few times, never got over 2 or 3 Mbps on ATT , but testing with the Verizon sim I got 40Mbps ish but that was at the Verizon store it self... I dont know much about bands or even signal strength etc... currently LTE Discovery shows me on HSPA+ -83.0 dBm and my speed test was 1.97 Mbps Down 0.28 Up .

Was going to bring it into the AT&T store today and check again.

I bought the Verizon model and plugged in my T-Mobile sim card and it worked straight away.

On a side note, I went straight to the APN section expecting to have to manually enter my T-Mobile APN and was pleasantly surprised to see it was already in there along with: Consumer Cellular, Family Mobile, LYCA, MetroPCS, Multibrand, Project Fi, Red Pocket, Republic, Ting, Tracfone, Ulta, Vodafone & Walmart.

So I would guess it has all of the cellular radio frequencies onboard.

hello i'm in canada and planning to get the verizon version . but do it has the dial pad as the international and if yes have you tried to change the csc to remove verizon bloatware?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] SovRoxx:
Cheers guys

Thanks! Well... Verizon store had one here but no keyboard case... So I found I couldn't get the half off deal if one doesn't check out both units at the same time. So I went to best buy for wifi... Got a grey version. Like it so far.... Screen is great for movies, maybe wish was a bit more snappy to navigate around like i can with my s7 edge lol... But that may an illusion as the screen is bigger on s4 taking longer to reach around the screen with hands. Still less tiring than ipad for me with all the hand sweeps when busy.

Also little disappointed in multitasking.. Wish was a floating app u can sweep from the side over an active app pair so u can easily reference 3 apps fast.. Can kinda do that on ipad i think.. Ill figure it out! And many apps i use cant multitask pair which annoying not samsung fought I guess. Still worth it

On T-Mobile

What kind of speeds are you getting with it on T-Mobile? Are you getting good LTE speeds? I want to get one, but am on T-Mobile (and not switching). Sprint launched their version today, but am I not confident T-Mobile will get one. There was only one CNET article that stated T-Mobile would get it.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Airfoil:
I live in a bad spot for speed testing, at my house I get around 10 Mbps up/down. I just drove up the street a mile or so and checked there and got ~30 Mbps up/down. As I roam around tomorrow I'll do some additional speed tests and see how it performs.

Update: I ran a few speed tests this morning, I was seeing download speeds up to 75 Mbps, and Uploads up to 30 Mbps on the T-Mobile sim.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] gradynyc:
I wouldn't even consider buying a verizon version when the Korean model has LTE, 6gb ram, 256gb storage, phone capability, and is world unlocked with no bloatware. I bought one and it's the best thing since sliced bread! ebay is selling them like hot cakes. Be careful to only get the non cell provider version, you don't want korean bloatware either. It exists! https://www.samsung.com/sec/tablets/galaxy-tabs4-t835/SM-T835NZKNKOO/
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] KazimierzW:
Hey GradyNYC!

I had initially wanted a 256GB LTE version until I saw that Verizon only had 64GB. I didn't realize they existed. Would you mind letting me know who you ordered from and how much customs duty you paid?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] SovRoxx:
Wow cool! Yea I been using the 64gig for 14 days now. Wish I knew about this one! How much can you get it for all said and done?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] KazimierzW:
It's about a grand. They are going for $960 or so, then shipping. If you figure getting 64G LTE for About $750 in the US and the 256G WiFi version is $100 more than the 64G WiFI version, then you come to $850. The Korean versions have 6G RAM, so really, the price difference isn't out of the realm of reality. It is pricey to begin with. I'm figuring the added costs might be offset for me by the increased internal storage and memory benefits.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] SovRoxx:
I tried the s4 64gb wifi version for 2 weeks and I had minor performance complaints and I had to weigh in if I was being too picky or not. I haven't had a tablet in years and kind of expected it to respond super snappy like my s7 edge. It doesn't ! Example, you don't have issues with this website even on the s4 with the menus and such? I think there is a small delay as the s4 needs time to load? sometimes? compared. I also sense s4 doesn't respond to super touch sensitivity compared to a cell phone?

I'd like a review between the 4 and 6gb model.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Airfoil:
It does not have any dial pad. I think you're asking if it has the voice radios to use like a regular cellphone. I would guess NO as I've never seen that on a US model since the original Galaxy Tab (7inch), and that one required root and updated modem drivers to work.

For international. I've not seen it since the Tab S2. (Though the post above mentions that the Korean version does, pictures do not have earpiece speaker though)

As for bloatware, it is pretty light on bloat. Honestly, more Samsung bloat than Verizon bloat. I didn't csc, but I did promptly disable the MyVerizon app, Verizon security & privacy, samsung email & cloud, google gmail (I use google inbox).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] gradynyc:
I have never had the 4gb version, only the 6gb version. I do however have the note9 and the 6gb version tablet. They are at the very least equal in speed. I love the tablet and see no lag whatsoever. If I knew what i know now, I would have only bought the tablet. There are practical applications for the phone only; like size, but phone calls are crisp (tmobile) on the tablet. I have not taken it out of the keyboard case since day one. I have a pretty powerful windows computer with 16gb of ram and it has not been getting any use since I took this tablet out of the box. Everyone in my house is trying to get their hands on it. I bought a bluetooth mouse. It is a computer now, and a very fast one. If i hadn't turned in my note5 and tied to 2 years of credits. I would sell the note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] SovRoxx:
Cool. I'm surprised to hear about equal to note 9. I'm waiting for my note 9. I returned the Tab S4 because I'm more interested in the 6gb version. Any chance it will come to the USA ?

For your comments, I bet the 6gb made a hell of difference because the 4gb... I can navigate faster/smoother on my s7 edge (Exynos).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] gradynyc:
I doubt it will become available in the US; especially with voice capability. I had to piece together the SM-T835 manual documentation from the EU version which also has voice. I can pm you the link.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] KazimierzW:
We got them from EBay. (I got mine from this fast seller: worlddigital2000) Be warned, though, that the Samsung warranty most likely will not work on the device if service is needed in the US. I got the SquareTrade warranty just in case. I wasn't going to, but then chose at the last moment to not risk it.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] KazimierzW:
The seller is in South Korea, so he probably doesn't know what bands T-Mobile uses. The listing shows all the bands it has access to (everything, since it is unlocked). You can look up what T-Mobile uses. The only band missing is T-Mobile's newest 600 Mhz (Band 71).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] teflon79:
Yea I saw that. I do not think there will be any duty tax since it is less than 1000$ Did you get hit with a tax?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] gradynyc:
No. Just regular ebay shipping charges. the seller may be paying them on his end but it was not visible to me.

Guys... are you sure Squaretrade will cover you? for foreign items? and because of malfunction they usually tell you to go to manufacture warranty which you cannot then why would sqauretrade fix your item?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] SovRoxx:
Can't believe you guys talked be into it. And I talked myself into the 256 one. And eBay has a coupon I can use in the next couple hours that gives me 100 dollars off it too. Which basically is like free Squaretrade for 2 years if wanna look at it that way. Its a big purchase to put 1000 down on the cc. Now I'm worried that I will get hit with customs fees... its a different seller than you guys did.. seller is (edit: I bought from dream-seller) . and he got the gray version that I think is more sassy.

Edit: coupon worked and I got a hundred bucks off. Was a flash sale coupon and expired

Why can't I find any customs roms of it? Can I install a x72x rom on it without any trouble?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] GaeDearg:
because there's none.

that model is the LeEco Le Pro 3 AI Edition, and it uses the Mediatek Helio X27 SOC.

Mediatek does not release the code sources for it's chips, therefore it's pretty hard (or impossible) to develop custom roms for phones using their chips.

obviously you cannot flash roms from the X72X models in yours as the SOC is completely different.

---------- Post added at 12:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 AM ----------

you might be able to flash a custom TWRP and root your phone, as there's a bit of development for the X650/X651 in the AI Edition section of this forums.

but don't expect more than that.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] P-Chan80:
So the bootloader allows 5 tries before forcing a reboot. I'm working on a brute force method to send unlock codes until one is successful. Basically send 4 codes, do a fastboot reboot bootloader, send 4 more - until a valid code is found. It takes 6 seconds on my system for the fastboot command to function again after issuing a reboot. At this rate I can only do 12,342 codes per day (give or take a few hundred). Total possible combinations is 7,958,661,109,946,400,884,391,936. This is based on 16 character alpha numeric (36^16). Of course, if there was a pattern like (111AA1111A1AA111), it would greatly reduce this. I'm within my 30 day window, so I'm likely just to send it back and put my $800 in a company that supports the community, but if I find enough of a pattern to consider brute forcing, I might consider keeping it around. I love the hardware, hating the UI and my inability to install my favorite apps from F-Droid that require root...
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
I think you would also need the IMEIs and Serial Numbers as the unlock code most probably gets generated with them.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] NOEPG:
Hello P-Chan80,

Did you success ?

I'm also thinking in brute forcing the unlocking oem code on my Honor 6c Pro.

In my case I can try as many code as I want without rebooting but I have to confirm the fastboot unlocking command by pressing Volume UP and Power on the phone. Do you have this procedure on your Huawei ? I was thinking if it is possible to automate it by opening the phone and sending electrical impulses where the buttons are (with an arduino or a raspberry pi for instance).
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] TeslaSSTec:
Hey. It's a very interesting idea - try to brute the code. BUT I think that it is irrational - as the wear of the phone buttons will cost more than the cost of paid methods of obtaining the code. The question is-how do these services get the codes? I can only assume two options: they take the codes from huawei's database or they know the code generation algorithm(If Huawei use one), because they only need the imei or serial numbe to get unlock code. Do you think it is possible to to find this algorithm too?(Having a data: Imei – unlock code)?

May be it's sounds silly, but what do you think about it?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StonebridgeGr:
Did eventually worked?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] magare:
Equivalent is winning the lottery. Considering the number of possible combinations it would take years to complete the whole sequence. Not practical at all.

It would help a lot if you get some sort of pattern but that would be hard to get unless all people with the unlock phones provide their IMEI and unlock codes.

If you get enough matching pairs you might be able to figure out the logic. Then should not be too hard to create a generator by putting together a small script (python/perl/php/bash/whatever). The hard bit is to get the pairs and then the script should not be too hard to create. I could try.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] SideSwipe9th:
I ask this not knowing anything about the Android bootloader process. Is it possible to dump the bootloader of a locked or unlocked phone and analyse the code to identify where and how it identifies a valid unlock code? And then work backwards from there? Or are codes signed by Huawei using a private key and such an analysis would prove unfeasible?

If the unlock codes are signed, but dumping the bootloader is possible, could an analysis of the bootloader code from a dump allow for an exploit to be developed similar to the Amonet exploit used on the 5th, 7th and 9th gen Fire 7 tablets?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] 3c:
It seems someone is trying this method: https://github.com/SkyEmie/huawei-honor-unlock-bootloader

However no-one has confirmed if it actually works, but some users said it doesn't.

EDIT: Started the process 5 hours ago and it did like 1%. The Huawei M3 Lite I'm testing this on doesn't reboot ever. Not sure I'll keep it running for 20 days.
