[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwewew:
Are there any current generation (17/18+) phones that allow you to easily change the battery?

It seems crazy to buy a phone you know will need replacing in two years when the battery starts to sag.

I occasionally wish my Note 3 had a better camera but aside from that it seems like it beats any modern equivalent. Good screen size, great CPU / RAM. Stylus (not that I use it much) and most important of all, the ability to easily hotswap a new battery! I always carry a spare battery with me in case I feel like an extended heavy use session (with light use the battery will easily last 1.5 days).

Maybe modern phones would do it better but I can't believe heavy use wouldn't still result in a dead battery before the day is out (and then having to rely on bulky power packs to recharge if you're out and about).

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xancar33:
Hi,

I recently found out that system memory is taking out 25GB of space from my phone. After googling, I still can't find a way of cleaning that. I understand this is where the important system OS files are storaged. I think these contain old update files from OTA which are not deleted after OS updates. Any ideas how to delete them without resetting?

I tweaked my note 8 a lot and really don't want to reset it because it will take so much time backing up and restoring plus you can't really back up the data of some apps and settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
What's OSD? And are you talking about the drive space that the operating system is using? Because there's no way in hell that the phone has 25GB memory lol.. Mines using 17.2GB of space itself so yours doesn't sound like it has a problem and besides it only stores the OTA files until it's done flashing them and then gets rid of it..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xancar33:
I meant OCD lol. Took it out cos I think more people are going to be confused. It's the system memory section under storage of device maintainence. I have backed up everything now and reset. It was still 25gb afterwards. I was thinking it just had piles of OTA files that aren't deleted.

Will let you know when I finish with my reset from recovery mode. It just seems too much to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
The 25GB used was just the Android operating system and then whatever apps are installed.. it's not actually taking the memory/ ram away..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] horsim:
Hi,

Does anyone know how could Samsung or its supplier produce such a bad fingerprint scanner that the S8 has? On cheaper phones like Xiaomi or Huawei the FP Sc is quick like hell and it is almost doesn’t metter how you place your finger on it. But in the case of an S8 it is not only in a bad position but it works so badly that in many times it unlocks the phone after the 5th try or so. What do you think? Is this the fault of the software or the sensor? Wasn’t that a shame to Samsung to release a phone like this? Or nobody cares if they get a gorgeous screen?

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] PocoSteve:
So here is my dilemma :

I really would like Android 9 Pie, (I was thinking LOS 16) for a variety of reasons :

The Google Camera 6.1 is intended for Android 9+, (yes I know BSG is working on making it compatible with 8.x) (I tried it on MIUI 10 based on Android 8.1, and if you install it as an update to his 5.3 version, panoramas and video work. (no normal pictures, no Portrait ;)) So having LOS 16 would mean not having to wait for Xiaomi to update MIUI to Android 9, and whatever they say, the visual change wont be so striking as with MIUI 9 --> 10, so I don't think that's top on their list.

Digital Wellbeing would be pretty useful, and from what I heard it wont be in MIUI 10 Android 9 (whenever that comes out)

But I'm holding back for a variety of other reasons :

Being on LOS 16 would mean getting Gcam 6.1, but also losing the stock MIUI photo app, that I still use :

Whenever I'm in a situation where it's image processing is more fitting, (night for example; Gcam spurts shaky blurred photos)

For Slo-Motion and Timelapse

The video mode has incredible stabilization that Gcam does not have.

I also use the manual mode for long exposure times etc.

So are there ports of the MIUI cam for other ROMs?

The TWRP build isn't an official one yet, (from what I understood that means it can't handle decryption, so would erase the device?) I'm fine with that but would there be any other possible problems?

My biggest fear actually is that if for whatever reason I want to come back to MIUI, I'm not sure I would be able to do that. :( I mean, I think I know in theory how to do that, it's just that

The different ROMs you can find here (that's where I downloaded MIUI 10, but I updated from the settings > three dot menu > choose package ; with what I had downloaded) Can those be installed from TWRP, if I want to revert? :confused:

So there goes, I haven't written everything bugging me, but these are the main things,

MIUI Cam for LOS? (and other ROMs)

Reverting

I would really like to hear what all of you think.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] EthanKairos:
It's real easy to revert to stock/MIUI. Just use TWRP to backup your entire stock system image before flashing LOS, then if you ever want to go back just restore from there.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
Now we have a twrp version that handles the encryption of miui. So, no need to worry about this!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] mario123m:
You're overanalyzing things. Switching a ROM is a matter of minutes so it's very easy to go back if you don't like it. About the camera... Tbh, I prefer Gcam for its wonderful low light shots and much sharper photography in general. I'll miss slow motion and the manual mode but it's not that big a deal for me anyway.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sjhotwings:
you dont have to use custom roms, i am myself using miui rom as it is the best for me right now. have tried others rom but always back to miui, i flash globe miui rom which has some of the bloat removed and its pretty good.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] gogoffm:
I would suggest to try the roms you are looking for. Try miui9, Miui10 , LOS16 whatever and get the one which fits the best for your needs. That's the way I did. I am no on los16 and it's damn good. I like the pie stock and Volte is working. Now the Gcam mods are working since the last update even the new 6.1 is working. And due to working TWRP you can switch roms in minutes....
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] PocoSteve:
If I want digital wellbeing or any other pie-specific feature, I *do* need a custom ROM as MIUI isn't on pie yet.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] lookforinfinite:
is there a way to take long exposure photos with the L0s 16?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] mustafa811:
well i wanted to ask the same thing .. is it worth it to change between roms .. i mean do the touch and keyboard improves on other unofficial roms ?!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] parveshchaudhary:
I would suggest stick to the stock for now. As pie build is just around the corner. And after that we can expect gcam to work fine. There would also be fix for touch sensitivity in the stock update.

Now, before switching to poco I was on custom roms for more than a year as stock was filled with bugs(zuk z2). And the most annoying drawback that I faced was that every now and then some app would detect root and won't work. This happens even with magisk safety net and magisk hide. So using a phone with that issue as a daily driver is really annoying. Apart from that for a custom rom there are monthly updates which always recommend clean flash although you can get away with dirty flashed but still. One positive side is stock android experience is always amazing and nothing can replace that. In my opinion stock android feels way more polished and classy compares to MIUI or any other non aosp based rom. But if you want to use your phone as your daily driver then I would suggest you to stick to stock rom for now at least.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] DukeofPhone:
So my Galaxy Note 9 ended up in the middle of a busy intersection for a while, needless to say the screen is completely destroyed. The phone is still operational in regards to it powers on and can receive calls and such. What I need to do is backup my device or transfer data to my new device. I tried connecting it up to a monitor via HDMI however there's a pop-up screen that it says I need to touch to activate Dex on the phone which I obviously cannot do. Anyone have any other ideas on how to backup all my settings from one phone to the other with a completely non-functional screen on the donor device?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] willhemmens:
You're probably just better off restoring the new phone from your cloud backup, assuming you set that up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ultramag69:
You could try getting DEX to work on your TV/monitor then backup through that using a bluetooth/wireless keyboard and mouse...

Shouldn't matter if you cant use touchscreen as it is mirrored on the TV...

If you connect to the DEX and still don't see anything then it's not just you screen that's dead...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] arbit12:
Or if you have a usbc to multiport adaptor you can connect to the screen through HDMI and control DeX using a wired mouse through the USBA port.

Alternatively, download Samsung Smartswitch on PC and try connecting through that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] hayabusa1300cc:
USB on the go cable, and keyboard mouse
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] DukeofPhone:
This is exactly what I was trying to do but I had not used DEX previously and there is an initial screen that you MUST touch the phone screen to get past. I was able to see the phone screen on the monitor however I could not see the Prompt that was only on the phone screen. Anyway I have moved forward with using google to restore most of my apps, thanks for the suggestions.
[HTC Breeze] clio09:
Hello, i am using the WM6 ROM by Futureshock (V2) on my Mteor. With WM5 it was possible to add a ringtone by pressing enter several seconds on a mp3 or mide file. Then it was selectable from the ringtones list. Now, TCPMP is assosiated with media files and this procedure no longer works. How can i add a ringtone under WM6?

Many thanks.

Rene
[HTC Breeze] futureshock:
Hi,

firstly i would say you should use the new wm6.1 ports...

and when you want to add an mp3 file to ringtone list just copy the mp3 to my documents...

you can also made a my documents folder structur on sd card too... i have it so... after every reflash i have all my ringtone and pictures back in system without to do anything more...
[HTC Breeze] clio09:
Many thanks. Sometimes it is more simple than expected.

I'd like to try the 6.1 ports, but i am using a screenreading software to access the phone, because i am blind. Afaik this software is not yet compatible with 6.1. So i'm afraid i have to wait for an update.

I still can't play midi files with the WM6 V2 ROM. Windows media comes up with an error "source filter could not be found". Is there a solution?

Thanks again.

Rene
[HTC Breeze] futureshock:
just give 6.1 a try... its not so different from wm6 ...

wm6 port i think is discontinued because of wm6.1... theres no need todo on wm6 more...

also its booting up too slow... and bugfixin all this isn't worth effort...
[HTC Breeze] clio09:
the latest WM6.1 port works fine here, even with Mobilespeak (my ScreenReader). The only thing i have noticed so far is: The sounds for alerts, key clicks etc. are enabled but not working.

Thanks again.

they should be disabled by default...

So i got my g6 h870 10 months ago, and the battry life has been pretty solid. I've read about a lot of people having problems with the battery life on their g6, but i haven't had the problem on my phone, until now.

The past couple of days, my g6 has had horrific battery life. As you can see on the screenshots, netflix drained 42% of battery, while only being used for 20 minutes. I've only got 3 hours of SOT and I've had to charge my phone twice today.

It was also hot.

I've tried searching the web for answers, but they were all outdated, or not specific to my device.

Why is my battery life so bad on my g6, and what can i do to stop it?

So this started happening the past couple days, I left it on for around 3 hours, (it was at 49%) and after 3 hours it only increased by 5% I have the original charger that came with the phone, I then used a different charger and got slightly better results, it charged 10% in a half hour, but only when I turn the WiFi off, close all apps, and set the brightness to the lower. Could this be happening because of the latest security update? I have the august 5th patch installed right now.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] el80ne:
I'm stuck in a boot loop after trying to return to stock.

I followed precisely the instructions written by 5m4r7ph0n36uru in the section titled "Restore using a RUU".

On my BadBoyz unlocked rom where I was still on OS version 1.16.617.6 I did was flash with the latest full RUU version 2.42.617.7 then relocked my ROM with fastboot oem lock command.

I've tried clearing the cache and factory reset as instructed in HTC docs to try when stuck in boot loops. I can't get it to go past the boot screen.

Was I wrong to flash to the latest RUU I found in the spreadsheet section for my phone model? Should I have flashed with the RUU of the version I originally had on my phone to return to stock?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] mauiblue:
I know that the OP had posted this about a week ago but I was wondering if you had your issue with the phone resolved? I found only when I used the SD card process to flash a RUU zip file I would be successful in flashing another OS/firmware. On my U11, I only was successful in first flashing a older version of the OS on to my phone before I was able to boot my phone up. On my U12+ I was successful in flashing the original (latest) OS. Good luck.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] el80ne:
Hey thanks for the reply! Actually I was able to get my phone back up and working again after having gleaned quite a bit of useful info from your very informative OP.

Fortunately I didn't have to go the route of running the HTC 10 batch tool, since I really wasn't looking forward to having to set up a virtual windows machine or having to trust a windows emulator like Wine just to run a dos batch tool. Actually I got the message pretty quick reading your first post that relocking the bootloader was a pretty terrible idea and set right away to unlocking it again. I was able to do it going through the HTC routine of cutting and pasting the ASCII key to HTC web form and having the Unlock_code.bin emailed to me again. It was different from the original ascii and unlock file they sent me the first time, but it did the trick.

It was smooth sailing from there, as I was able to boot to recovery and flash TWRP, which I then used to install the latest BadBoyz rom running Oreo and it just worked.

I was a little surprised, because I was under the impression I would have to apply all my OTAs manually since I was upgrading from Marshmellow. So even though I had a busted /system partition that wasn't letting me boot into the latest HTC RUU stock, that didn't seem to matter. Flashing with the latest RUU must hav the OTAs intact on a separate partition that the latest bad boyz rom just worked out of the box.

I'd been meeting to update this post, sorry to make you type all that out again when your first post was great. It tipped me off to scrutinize that HTC10 batch script line by line to see what was so special about it. Turns out, not a whole lot; I figured I could manage to do all that running the android bridge from my linux console just fine. But it was extraordinarily insightful in practically giving me a written line by line instruction set on how to recover my phone from command line. It was about as straightforward as it gets. I totally appreciate your help! :good:
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Matty1993:
Glad its sorted mate,

Always keep your bootloader unlockes so you can flash unsigned firmware as unfortunately finding signed_ruu.zip with specific versions is very difficult, and batch tool contains HTC official code for flashing and also lets you flash a lower main version and rollback the bootloader from oreo back to nougat no other fastboot terminal i used would allow it when i did it would always give RUU error main version fail,

Lucky the bootloader let you flash token, mine wouldnt even let me do that i got killswitches enabled on BL, FRP & OEMunlock please unlock lol

And thats no probs on the detailed tutorials i got kinda like ocd where i gotta explain stuff really into detail haha sometimes i dont even notice, keep the BL unlocked thouhh and you should be fine
