Hi,

I have an S3 Frontier and calibrated the altitude and barometer when I first received the watch and it worked fine but now it's telling me that my altitude is 145440 ft. and barometric pressure is 0 hPa.

I'm pretty sure I'm not in the stratosphere right now.

I re-calibrate and the numbers come back the same. Samsung's help is just to do a factory reset on the watch but that's their solution to everything.

1. Tried manually updating it but it doesn't keep the altitude I input.

2. Uninstalled and reinstalled, re-calibrated and still the same numbers.

I couldn't find an answer, if anyone has a suggestion I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.
[Samsung Gear S3] swainclubber:
This is a known issue if you tether it to a weather balloon. That will be the altitude it burst at. They're working on a fix. In all seriousness I hope you sort it out. If it's new maybe return it.
[Samsung Gear S3] dzidch:
I have the same problem. I wrote to samsung. and I'm waiting for information.
[Samsung Gear S3] bevlyn@gmail.com:
Have you find a fix yet???
[Samsung Gear S3] killswitch_engage:
I ended up sending my watch to FutureTel to be repaired.

I contacted Samsung on their website using the Live Chat and they wanted me to bring it to a bunch of places and kept giving me addresses of Samsung dealers that are 12-16 hours drive away. Finally told them I wanted it resolved and requested a ticket be created for my watch to be sent in for repair (I'm under warranty still).

Once the ticket was created Samsung provided a shipping label. I dropped it off at FedEx on a Wednesday afternoon and had it back from FutureTel the following Tuesday. So far everything is working well.

FutureTel listed it on the repair form as a "BGA failure" and they "Replaced PBA". Repair Code 312.
[Samsung Gear S3] EvilDeadFan:
I seem to be havin the exact same issue. It was working recently.. watch has never been wet, never had any shocks or abuse.. and now it's at 44,000 some METERS.

Did this resolve your issue?

Wait nevermind. I see that so far everything appears to be working nicely.
[Samsung Gear S3] EvilDeadFan:
In case it helps., a few days later, everything works including altimeter and barometer as if it never was a problem. I have 0 idea what caused it to suddenly work.

Guide for restoring QCN (imei) backup

For this guide you will need

- QPST/QFIL

- QCN backup

- zui 3.9.075 for lenovo Z5

you need to restore stock zui 3.9.075 on first boot it will have the qualcomm diag port open, when this port is open we can backup or restore the imei using QFILs QCN restore backup tool.

1. turn on phone while holding down vol+ and vol-

2. Open QFIL and flash zui 3.9.075

3. make sure the phone is booted up and QFIL is connected to qualcomm diag port

4. In QFIL open tools > QCN Backup Restore

5. browse to qcn file and click restore.
[Android General] sth0r:
*** Some people have problems where only imei 1 is being restored this way, so please do only play around with this if your phone is already broken, then you cannot breake it any more. ***

Recreate a QCN file for your phone

Download Hex editor, QCN templet and imei converter.

I use HxD which can be downloaded https://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD20

I have put up a zip with the QCN templet (same file 2 hosts)

https://mega.nz/#!qDpD1bQD!YSjV2eULaTDae3beguXILSSnfDh1jKddWQEAsqzIhJo

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JImSn3PWjozSw_qf6_AwRYsqiurFr_oV

imei converter

https://www.androidbrick.com/download/imei-converter/

1. open the QCN templet in HxD (drag and drop the templet into the HxD window)

2. press ctrl+f to bring up the find menu aand select hex-values

3. copy

08 5A 46 44 45 65 66 67 76

and paste it into the search field

4. type the first imei (from the box your phone came in) into the imei converter and press convert imei

5. type the output from the imei converter into hxd instead of the hex-value we found in step 3

6. copy

08 5A 46 34 37 67 66 67 76

and´paste it into the search field

7. type the second imei (from the box your phone came in) into the imei converter and press convert imei

8. type the output from the imei converter into hxd instead of the hex-value we found in step 6

9. save the file (now your QCN file is ready to be restored)
[Android General] sth0r:
If the qcn alone does not make you phone able to activate, a lot people says you need to reflash persist image

get persist from here

https://drive.google.com/open?id=11T5XGNezCi_SWbGCiGapadEG2PFqJOkp

Then reboot to fastboot and do (adb reboot bootloader)

fastboot erase persist

fastboot flash persist persist.img

[Android General] diogooskamarada:
Hello guys. Recently I did the rom exchange process via QFIL. The first ROM I used was the one that is here in the topics like android 9.0. My device is now frozen in the "ANDROID" screen. I tried other roms that also, at 075, 052, 200, 108. But none worked, I installed twrp, which by the way is working perfectly, and every time I clean it, a message like "Failed to mount '/ persist' ( Invalid argument) ". I do not know exactly what I did wrong, but my cell phone does not leave the infinite loop. I would like to ask for your help, I am from Brazil, and it is difficult to write in another language, so any doubt I try to explain again.

One thing I remembered was that the second time, I accidentally clicked on the "PARTITION MANAGER" option in QFIL. I do not know if that was why. But I have refactored the processes and the problem persisted. If someone has the file "persist" to send, I will test to see if it solves the problem.
[Android General] rendroid15:
Awesome, good job man, hey have you tried this method on a device that doesnt have IMEI at all?
[Android General] sth0r:
That depends on what you mean by "at all" this is for phones with corrupted nvram, as they cannot connect to the cellular network.

If your phone can tell you its imei then this is not for your phone.

i have tryed this on a phone which could not activate because it was missing its imei.
[Android General] jaytec0007:
Hi I'm a little bit lost whit HxD, I downloaded QCN backup and install it. When you say open the QCN templet in HxD do you mean clic on Files and after clic on New? If so after that I did Ctrl-f and open the search box then go to Hex values, and I put 08 5A 46 44 45 65 66 67 76 in Search for: but after that I get a message sayind cant find 08 5A 46 44 45 65 66 67 76

---------- Post added at 04:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 AM ----------

Finally after playing whit it for a while I understand now when you say open QCNtemplet.qcn in Hxd and right after I do ctrl-f and in the search box of Hex values I put 08 5A 46 44 45 65 66 67 76 and he was able to find it.

But this time Im stuck, where do I type the first imei and where is the imei converter??
[Android General] sth0r:
i had forgotten the link to the imei converter it is there now.
[Android General] jaytec0007:
In step 7 I type again the first imei? you sure I shouldn't put the second imei in step 7 and step 8 cause I already put the first imei in step 4 and 5
[Android General] sth0r:
You are correct second imei should be used there!

Thx i have corrected it...
[Android General] podge3:
Hey OP

Great guide :) It all worked for me until I went to try and restore it and nada. The restore box opened up when I clicked the button but neither the backup or restore button did anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks:good:
[Android General] sth0r:
Did the main window tell you that you where connected to Qualcomm diag port?

Did you restore to 075?

This is not a fix for bootloop, it is only for fixing missing imeis so do not try this if you do not specifically have problems with your imei..
[Android General] jaytec0007:
Great! and tanks a lot for everything and I let you know if everything work fine
[Android General] podge3:
Yep, connected to diag port like when I flashed to 075.

I don't have a boot loop, I'm stuck on the activation screen as I think my IMEIs have been wiped. No WLAN either. I though I could restore my IMEIs and get past this screen.
[Android General] sth0r:
When you flash 075 the phone is in Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode and not Qualcomm diag mode.

On first boot of 075 the phone will enter and connect to qpst in diag mode, there and only there can you restore the qcn.
[Android General] podge3:
OK, thats the problem.

So do I just flash the ROM with qfil and let it boot?
[Android General] podge3:
It Works!!!

Thanks sth0r:svetius:

I've restored my IMEIs with your guide here. I wasn't booting the phone up, just trying directly after flashing the ROM.

It hasn't gotten me past the activation screen but at least I now have cell reception showing on both SIMs. It actually tried to activate via SIMs but failed.

I won't post anymore here to keep this thread free of off-topic stuff but your guide certainly works. My problem now lies elsewhere.

Thanks again :):)

UPDATE!!: I know I said I wouldn't post on this thread again but my phone just booted past the activation screen!!:D

I wasn't really paying attention to it but about 15mins after boot it activated, probably through the cellular option.

Thanks sth0r:cowboy:
[Android General] ebkbk:
from bootloader mode:

type "fastboot erase persist" hit enter

type "fastboot flash persist persist.img" hit enter

flash a qfil 075 and you are good.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] armibu:
Hi,

since one of the latest Oxygen OS updates, my OnePlus 5 is not able to connect to any PC anymore as long as USB-Debugging is enabled. It's not showing up in Device-Manager nor lsusb on multiple PCs, I've tried rebooting multiple times, safe mode, clearing settings data, but nothing seems to have changed it's behavior - when turning on USB Debugging, all USB connections seem to get lost, including data and charging. A curious thing I noticed is that the Android-System notification that lets you switch USB modes sticks around when unplugging in this state, even after disabling debugging again, until the phone is restarted.

Is this a common issue? I haven't been able to find anything about it on XDA or on their official product forums which seem to be pretty dead, but it's a pretty big problem for me since I need this phone for app development.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
Open beta or stable? Which version exactly?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] armibu:
I'm running the current stable Oxygen OS 5.1.5(ONEPLUS A500_23_180808), unrooted. I'll try installing the new beta, since fastboot mode still gets recognized by PCs.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] armibu:
Ok, so beta 19 didn't change anything about it - still the same issue and behavior when unplugging. Not sure what else to do other than trying to wipe it, which would be pretty annoying

[General Questions and Answers] tdvolland:
Hello,

with PIA VPN I have the choice of using a few dozen different locations. I have been using it for several years now, but only now I realized habit. Instinctivly, I never use the VPN location of the country that I actually am in.... but I also realized that using the VPN server in the same country, of course gives one the fastest connection. So my question:

Other than habit, is there actually a real reason NOT to use the VPN server in the country I am in?

Thank You
[General Questions and Answers] gjkrisa:
To get around Geo location restricted sites or to further anonymize your web traffic
[General Questions and Answers] tdvolland:
Well, of course to get around geo location..... but my question had obviously another reason and "to further anonymize your web traffic" is no answer. It is actually the question.. does it or does not. Why do you think it does?

Using a VPN server in your country gives you a ping of around 20/30... using ANY other country ping takes at least four or five times as long....

So.. do you really know any reason?
[General Questions and Answers] gjkrisa:
Well a VPN encrypts your data from a to b and so anyone in the middle can not see your traffic only if they have compromised a or b

But if people know the typical you on the internet and see this type of traffic coming out a certain place they can still track you and stay in the know about you.
[General Questions and Answers] tdvolland:
I understand that possibility, although I do not see how someone can check zillions of files from from a certain server.

But as far as I can understand... about this, it can make no difference which VPN in which country I use. Which was what I asked...

I intuitivly do NOT use the VPN server offered in my country, and as that one is of course always much faster than all the others, I am questioning my intuition
[General Questions and Answers] gjkrisa:
Do you mind enlightening why you use a VPN

For me I have no real reason although I find it kinda of cool to be anonymise on the internet to have no net profile but it's very late in the game and I'm sure my online profile will always be there but I will try to teach my kids when they get to that point to be as anonymise as possible and still use the net then be completely afraid to be in the net
[General Questions and Answers] tdvolland:
So... basically NO ONE has an answer to my question?

I am tempted to ask if the reason for this is that there actually is no reason not to use a VPN in the country of residence, or if simply no one wants to think at all...
[General Questions and Answers] dharakv:
Say you have a company with many branches, and you have to connect them together so they can share resources. One way to do it will be to configure port-forwarding on your routers so your servers in one location can be accessed by the outside world. But this has many security flaws. You can also use a Site-To-Site VPN which creates a virtual encrypted tunnel between the two branches, and the traffic can flow from one branch to another, as if they were in the same subnet.

Another example: say you have off-site employees and they want to connect to the company network. Again, you can either configure port forwarding or you can configure a Remote Access VPN so they can connect to the company network and use resources (printers, file servers, web servers, etc) like they could if they were physically in the company building.

There are few types of VPNs: IPSec, PPTP, L2TP.

You can read more about VPN here:

Hi everyone, I'm a new xda user.

I have a big problem with a Huawei Mediapad T3 7" BG2-U01.

My friend doesn't use it very often and he forgot the password.

The real problem is that seems like this tab doesn't have a recovery or a dload mode.

I tried all the combinations of the buttons but the recovery(MIUI), the dload mode and the chinese recovery don't work, there's only a reboot to the lockscreen.

He never enabled the Debug USB, so ADB and the pc don't see the device.

Is there any chance to do an Hard Reset or unlock the tab?

So when you connect to an external screen and use DeX you can adjust the screen resolution via DeX setting

However when using DeX on the tablet only that options is greyed out.

Anyone know a way around this? Would love some more screen space in DeX

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] mrja22:
so found that adjusting the "minimum width" in developer options adjust the DPI in both normal mode and Dex mode.

Now, if i was in Dex and adjusted this setting it did some funky things (such as setting not saving, or not displaying the value correctly). but adjust in normal mode and then switching over to dex seems the most stable.

overall, works well and seems to stick even after restart.

So since your problem was solved, I thought I would ask a question about your icons on top? Are those skins for either pdastatus or metrix? I have both but I was looking for icons more like yours. I don't like the cartoony colored look of the other icons.

Again I don't mean to thread jack or anything. Sorry

Not at all, I'm using SPB Pocket Plus 4, simply using the default skin that comes with it, which are the top four ones ("indicators").
