[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ncharity1127:
I searched the forums, and the web and can't seem to find a way to access the engineering mode on my new Note 9. All I want to do is increase the max volume right now. I have tried every suggested equalizer app and so far they do nothing at all. I really would like to install the older Dolby Atmos app which was fantastic on my rooted note 5, but it won't run on the note 9, and the Atmos that's loaded just doesn't stream loud enough for my liking. Is this locked down by Sprint? Any suggestions? I have tried every secret code to no avail. FYI, I LOVE that the note 9 streams to two bluetooth devices at the same time...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] soraxd:

Never heard about it, anyway you can check a list of all available secret codes, by installing the Phone INFO Samsung app, then open the Secret Codes menu.

From what I have researched, it seems the snapdragon chipset does not have this mode. Bummer, I have tried many volume booster apps that do nothing, many actually made it softer, not louder. For now I will look for decent amplified portable speakers....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Tjmccund99:
Volume booster by gooddev. Does the trick. Thank me later if not too late.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slatz81:
Hey,

i am owner of an Cube iPlay10

It comes with stock Android 6.

No Contacts app pre Installed.

Tried to Install Google Contacts App (and other) but i cannot save any contact.

Eventough i have poeple added in my google account, its not syncing them to the tablet.

I have no system application called "contact storage" installed. Either there is no way to install it as an apk afterwards, or i need root!?!

And that will be another problem i guess...

Can you guys help me out?

I have done a video of it on YT for better understanding...

https://youtu.be/7z8CVLxNVBw

Sorry for bad english, i am not a native speaker.

Regards
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planet Indigo:
Did you ever solve the issue? I also have an Iplay10 and I am facing the same problem...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slatz81:
Nope! Wanet to root it to store contacts storage.apk to /app and bricked it i guess!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planet Indigo:
You bricked it? During the rooting or afterwards when you moved contacts to the system app folder? Mind explaining more how it happened?

I rooted mine by using Magisk, it works fine but I'd really like to get contacts working...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slatz81:
I bricked it while using flash tool. Now its not responding. Only when pluged to the Computer, the PC recognizes a device. Thats all.

Try to find a apk called contacts storage in marshmallow version 6.0 and lut it in system/app folder. Reboot and it should install this apk. This app is missing in system apps so iplay cannot save your contacts.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planet Indigo:
If it still responds when plugged to computer, you should probably be able to reflash official rom and root it. I followed exactly the steps in that video to root mine:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcxOFz7CR-I

The video creator has links for all the files, and even the official rom.

Would you happen to have a link to that contacts storage app? Did you hear this from someone else who has an Iplay10 and solved the issue?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slatz81:
i did it with help of this exact video.

smtg went wrong i guess

i have complete rom, preloader all the stuff with scatter file and everything checked in sp flash tool, but when i connect the phone, only a bing appears. SP Flash tool is showing no response. when i unplug the tablet, then sp brings the usual error.

i will oen up a new thread i guess.

try oneof these and tell me if it worked out for you.

https://android-apk.org/com.android.providers.contacts/

(lookout for marshmallow 6)

i have heard it from german android forum, and wanted to do just like that, but then bricked!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planet Indigo:
I found 2 in that list that were marked as Marshmallow compatible, but both failed upon install. They seem to be signed by specific manufacturers like samsung, etc... and given that they gave an error message upon normal install, I was reluctant to stick them into the system app folder. I don't have a pc handy to reflash or recover so I'm a little paranoid about bootloops/bricks...

Please let me know if you recover your tablet from that brick.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demoncamber:
SO I was wondering, if it was possible to paint over the outside two pins of a usb cable, the ground and the power pins leaving only the two inner data pins making contact, to create a hybrid data only (non charging) usb cable?

Why? Because I have a drone, which charges my tablet from the controller while flying, which I do not need or want, in order to maintain the remotes battery life. Is it possible?

Would I need to only paint over the power pin?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pisonja:
How would data would be transmitted without energy source? Your phone will not recognize the cable. I am 99.9% sure that there is nothing like that.

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

I am 99.9% sure that there is not a slight chance for that to work. How would data be transmitted without energy source?

I think that GND and +5V port needs to be in use for the circuit to be closed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demoncamber:
Ah! Ok thanks, that does make sense.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lecorbusier:
AFAIK the host powers the 5v line and the corresponding client's controller with a 0,1A current, for the client to initialize and tell whether it is a self-powered or host powered device. In case the client's power requirement exceeds the host's capabilities the connection is refused.

But certain devices may still work if you cut the cable's 5v wire.

Please help finding Qualcomm EMMC Programmer Files for your Essential PH1 phone

Drag it from a phone running via fastboot or via box
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gdmsndmxr:
Do you know how exactly to do that. Some instructions would be awesome. But I would also need a way to upload to the bricked phone which is only seen as a Qualcomm USB device.

Thanks,

Grant
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] lesterf:
From what I understand, the programmer file is not on the phone. It's a proprietary file that only the essential developers have. It has to either get leaked, or shared by essential.

I'm in the same boat. I have a bricked PH-1 and have looked all over for a fix, but no luck yet.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gdmsndmxr:
I have been in contact with Essential and they keep telling me they do not have access to these files, so I believe we're out of luck. Being a company that's basically DOA now, I assume my hard brick will remain a hard brick. :(
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] lesterf:
Not sure if you have access to a Best Buy store, but they sell the PH-1 and could potentially have the files needed. I am thinking of going there and seeing if the Geek Squad can fix mine.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IronRoo:
Only Essential have them, as far as I know.

PROBLEM:

My fingerprint suddenly stopped working without a fall, reboot or physical change.

When I try to scan, it doesn't display an error message. It's just plain as if there's no finger on the sensor

WHAT I'VE DONE:

I've cleaned the sensor dry, done a reboot, Powe off, removed battery and re-inserted, read a lot of articles relating to this issue, I've tested fingerprint sensor by dialing *#0*#, I've Cleared cache, reset to factory settings, deleted old finger prints, tried to register new ones in safe mode, I've flashed my marshmallow Rom using Odin, tried to flash the first KitKat Rom (ANIH) which failed, disabled gesture, drained battery to 0 and chrged to 100%, turned off for a few hours before turning on, Downgraded to KitKat and back to Marshmallow

WHAT I'VE NOTICED:

1. My backup password works

2.Home button works well, but when trying to register fingerprint, the home button doesn't work. I leave that page by minimizing or by using the return button.

3. The fingerprint sensor details are intact. When I check using *#0*#, it shows Version : 4.6.523.0 FwVersion : 04.53.00.0096

Flex Id : 68A

ProductId : 33

4. It shows PASS on all tests when I run the fingerprint test (Normal Scan) without touching the home button when the test is conducted, but it shows fail on some and pass on the other result rows when I tap or swipe up, swipe down,... on the home button.

Pls guys, I'm in need of your help. I'm confused.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you tried a custom kernel?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] JBtje:
Hello all,

For the past 5 hours I've been trying to root my phone, but I fail at the first step: making a backup of the IMEI/NVRAM.

So, what have I done:

- Downloaded the windows drivers from essential.com, and installed them on the PC.

- Download MTK Droid Tools from here, and extract them to the desktop

- Downloaded ADB, Fastboot and drivers from here (goto last page) and installed them.

On my Essential phone I enabled developer mode and went to "System" -> "Developer options" and enabled "OEM Unlocking" and "USB Debugging".

When the phone asked to allow USB debugging for that computer, I allowed.

According to to this guide, I should now start MTK Droid Tools and press "root". However, MTK Droid Tools does NOT show the device info, and on the bottom it says "The device isn't revealed. Connect or reconnect a cable!".

So I went to another PC, repeated all, and same.... Tested on win 10 (up-to-date) and win 7 PC. Tested all USB ports, nothing.

When I press "ADB terminal" in "MTK Droid Root & Tools v2.5.3", it opens command prompt.

[B]adb devices[/B]
returns:
List of devices attached
adb server version (31) doesn't match this client (39); killing...
* daemon started successfully *

When I close MTK Droid Root & Tools v2.5.3

and rerun:

[B]adb devices[/B]
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now at tcp:5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
PM1LHMA861101318 device

so, in conclusion: Phone is connected to the PC, ADB can find it, MTK cannot find the phone.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit:

For crying out loud:

You need to put the phone in "USB Preverences" -> "Use USB for" set to "USB tethering"

which results in:

--->>> Connect to device <<<---
--- ERROR : --- TotalBytesPerChunk Not Found. Set default Page/Spare=2048/64 !!!
--- Unknown ROM structure, backup NOT possible!

I'm still doing something wrong.... I guess?

Note: i'm running the latest android, 9 (patch 5 july 2018)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Chien35:
LOL

You definetely wrong. MTK Droid Tool for MTK CPU phone (mostly Chinese Phone) not for Essential Phone that use Qualcomm CPU.

Beside there is a post about Root Essential Phone why don't you search before try anything that maybe can bricked your phone.

Sorry I read wrong. The G6 doesn't even have a working rom and your concerned about kernels already.. Not a single dev owns a G6 or G6 play. The g6+ is lucky we got a dev and that's only because people are donating funds to a PayPal account to buy a device for our dev.

Hi , I'm new on this forum and I'm not even an english speaker (french :D ) so I hope i'm on the right section, but i have some issues with my One Plus 6 and the app WA Tweaker, at first all was working like a charm with Magisk and WA Tweaker installed (any tweak or nearly any tweak was working), then I had to do some system updates for the OP6, I did it but after that and resinstalling Magisk (with the right version in regards to the new system version) some tweaks weren't working anymore (like the anti-revoke) and now the sending 100% photo quality tweak won't work anymore as well,

So i'd like to have some help from you, what should I do, I already tried to uninstall and reinstall the app but it still doesnt work, I really would need good advices from you, Hope you guys will be able to help me, or if someone has already created the same thread just give to me the link then, thx a bunch :)

Hey i have a weird earphone jack bug on this phone using a KZ ATE earphone. Doesn't happen on another earphone though.

Can you check from your side and report same to me ?

Steps:-

1) Plug in any earphone you have.

2)Open camera and click a picture.

3) view clicked image from camera.

Did you notice the screen is touched , i.e. the effect on screen when a screen is touched,the whole screen area turns a little bit grey to show it's touched.

basically after plug in earphones , the UI seems to behave little different that some option is already pressed inside even though we didn;t touched anything.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Cookie Ninja:
323 update has been withdrawn from Asus servers and full ROM has been removed from website, due to some problems with update by Asus. Those who updated are still suffering, while those who didn't, can wait for the Sep update, where these issues will be (hopefully) resolved.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Armand Bernard:
Hello all,

Whilst there are many posts like this about battery issues, I thought I'd make my own because I've already tried all the approaches I can think of and I'd like to avoid any unnecessary confusion between posters.

I have less than 3 hours screen-on time on my Samsung S7 SM-G930F (international model) and horrific standby time, meaning I'll run out of battery before the end of the day even if I don't touch the phone at all. When I first got the phone, I got 4-6 hours screen on time and I see no reason why this should have changed so drastically. This is a somewhat recent occurrence, over the last 2-6 months (I believe it was gradual, so I can't quite pick out the time it started happening).

So far, I have tried:

Factory reset

Uninstalling all unnecessary (non-core) apps

replacing the battery

draining and recharging the battery fully

underclocking the processor

a multitude of different stock ROMs, both Nougat and Oreo

a few different Kernels

At best, playing around with these options has net me maybe a 5-15% improvement overall, much less than the 70-100% improvement I need to get back to what I had during early Nougat / late Marshmallow days.

Bar literally just getting a new phone, I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

EDIT: System2 log:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Was the flashing of different ROM's via TWRP or Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Armand Bernard:
TWRP
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
I'd recommend making a full backup in TWRP, saving it to your PC, then doing a full Odin flash using all 4 firmware files. It's the only method that ensures a complete fresh start.

It will mean you have to install TWRP again, but then you can at least be sure that you've cleaned out literally everything.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Armand Bernard:
I formatted internal storage via TWRP more than once though. I would have thought that would have fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Armand Bernard:
I've added a System2 log for extra information in the OP
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Well if you're leaving behind a modified bootable custom recovery, the device isn't clean, and could still have corrupted, fragmented, or badly partitioned boot files that affect all subsequent installs.

A full Odin flash is the closest thing to an out of the box system, it fixes almost all software bugs and issues. I can't guarantee it will fix your issue, but it's the only thing you've not done.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Armand Bernard:
Ok. Thanks a lot. I'll try it and report back in a few days.

I'll probably need to get the latest files from Sammobile (more like Sam-slow-bile).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
samfirm tool still works for obtaining the latest firmware files, and I get max speed using it on my internet (100mbs down)

For older versions you might have more luck with updato.com, for me I get almost full speed if I use a download manager, but it does have a bit of a slow start period.
