I had that with update 1 already, but my headset is an LG. Not sure if yours is as well, if not then maybe they did add it to non LG BT products!

o.k here goes, i have ended up with 2 hermes(t-mob vario 2`s) both are a bit poorly!

No 1 hermes - broken screen/lcd. Still powers up and is in good condition otherwise but has been runover by my car and came off worse!!

No 2 hermes - broken hard keyboard, cracked at one corner doesnt affect usability but would like it sorting.

My question is can i make 1 good one out of the 2 bad ones??

I have read mike channons guides on dismantling and its looks do-able has anyone else successfully tried this?

Is there any way of seperating the "top" from the "bottom" without completely dismantling?

The other thing is no 1 hermes is my contract phone so will the phone part stay the same if i add the top off the other one? i.e will the imei number stay in tact?? are the "brains" in the bottom?

any advice appreciated before i start!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jdc:
You should be able to, provided the internal cables and other such fiddly bits are still in good shape.

Not that I can think of. The two main reasons that I can think of are:

The screws that hold the top slide part are inside the bottom piece

Their is a ribbon cable that connects the two parts, both ends are socketed on the inside of the respective parts.

Yes, your phone number is tied to your SIM card, not the phone itself. The IMEI doesn't matter, unless your carrier only allows registered IMEI's on it's network (I've never heard of this ever being the case, but one never knows).

As for the IMEI and the 'brains' of the phone, yes, they are located in the bottom part.

Good luck, post some pictures if you can and let us know how it all turns out.

I have a new app installed, from the App Store, and have started this. After I wanted to enter my name the app hung up and since then the tab is dead. It can not be started anymore.

Home Button + Volume up + power button does not work either.

Does anyone have another tip? I've never had anything like that and it's not the first device in my hands.

It is not rooted. Is the normal software from Samsung on it.

I had it on my tab pro 12.2 and it turned out my micro-SD card had gone bad. Please remove it if you have one in your tab S3 and restart it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] CHGICEMAN:
Unfortunately, did not help.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] aspexil:
Try power button + volume up + volume down at same time? Are you sure the battery is charged? Try a different charger and cable.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] CHGICEMAN:
The tablet hung on the original charger half the night and the other half on a Sony charger. Each time a different cable is used. Unfortunately it stays dark on the tablet. Power button + volume up + volume down did not help.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] ToneLa:
How dead is it? I mean, is it turning on?

(the lack of a notification light on this tablet annoys me, as I think it would help in such a situation!)

I had something similar when I was rooting it..

There should at least be a factory reset layer. I got to it with volume up and home - no power button required. I believe I had to hold them for a long time, ten seconds or so. And if it shows life you then hold the power button. Apologies if that's what you tried, but you don't hold all three buttons at once is all!

I am inclined to believe if this doesn't work your tablet might not actually have any power. Which could imply, say, a battery issue.

It could be the other way around, oddly. The tablet is on, but the screen has hung with no display. Another combination to try is power and volume down.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] CHGICEMAN:
The tablet is absolutely dead. No matter what combination of buttons. And no it was not rooted or something like that. Since I still have warranty, it arrived this morning in the repair workshop.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] CHGICEMAN:
The tablet has now been repaired and replaced the motherboard.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] opasha:
Can't you just back it up and restore in twrp?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] mierlo420:
I read somewhere that they discouraged the TWRP backup method for efs, but maybe that information was outdated or device specific.

Thanks for your answer, i will backup with TWRP.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] opasha:
I've never had an issue with it in the past. I'll read up further for you and update shortly.

Edit:

Useful information: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g5s-plus/help/difference-efs-persist-partition-t3832892

Basically, backup your EFS and Persist. I checked my Persist and it's 0mb, but I read it's only 300-400 kilobytes so that explains the 0mb I assume. Persist is the map needed to reconstruct your EFS backup apparently. Not sure if latest TWRP has it, but OrangeFox recovery (which I'm currently on) has it. I highly recommend OrangeFox recovery to anyone wanting a nicer/cleaner recovery with more features.

I'm new to the whole android world, so please forgive me if my question is sorta stupid :confused: I'm not exactly sure how this whole installing custom ROMs of android works, but I researched a bit and seems like you gotta find a custom ROM for your device first and then install it. The device I want to try is a Fly Eclipse 3 IQ4514 with 1 GBs of RAM and MediaTek MT6582M processor, running Android 4.4.2.

I might be a long shot, but I'm just curious to know if it's possible to force a higher version of android on this device? If there are any custom ROMs out there that I could use.

It is definitely very annoying to be stuck at the Google Account Verification window after you’ve reset your device, especially when you no longer remember the Google Account details you fed in previously. The need to bypass Samsung Google Account Verification step during the setting up process on your tablet/smartphone is very well founded and we understand the inconvenience caused to you if you are prevented from proceeding further without submitting your Google ID and password.

So here is a video tutorial teaching you how to bypass google account verification

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkadi-sea:
Hello,

For a long time I'm using my good old friend OnePlus One, it works great to me on stock AOSP CM-13.1.2 until yesterday. I fail in the name of good and terrible thing has happened xD.

I wanted to stop draining my battery by apps which all the time were using GPS service to track my location so I started to make some change in settings -> privacy guard settings -> Location permission.

I tried to change the permission to those apps from "Allowed" to "Always ask". I do mistake and change permission to Google Play Services. After that I restart my phone. Now every time my OnePlus One is stuck/freeze after booting screen and I see only black screen and popup window in center with requests to give Location permission to Google Play Service.

Touch screen not working when is press to Allow, It cant go ahead to lock screen.

My phone is not rooted, locked bootloader, no TWRP, only stock Cayanogen recovery with options:

Reboot system now

Apply update -> Apply from ADB->ADB Sideload

Factory reset -> Full factory reset or Wipe cache partition ( I dont want lose my data on phone)

Advanced-> Reboot recovery

Advanced-> Reboot to bootloader

I read on internet that I need to modify or delete /data/system/appops.xml file

What can I do now, how can I do this modification without losing data.

Can I do it from shell console ADB? and which option I have to choose in recovery to connect my laptop OS: win XP with OnePlus One?

I read that i can do it by TWRP recovery but i dont have it on OPO. Can I safely flash it to phone without losing data? Bootloader is locked.

Is there any tutorial how to do it safely? How to Delete or download, modiffy and replace file /data/system/appops.xml using ADB commands, backup my personal data to PC, connect with phone by ADB with computer.

Any help needed. Sorry for my bad english.

Best Regard

Hi everyone !

I guess the people who know me have seen me around almost exclusively for the games I released, but that's far from being the only thing I do ! I'm also admin of a few dev sites, including http://www.dev-fr.org , a french amateur dev website. We have held a nice compo last year, sponsored by DS-X, which gave as great prizes : a Wii, a Nintendo DS Lite, and other nintendo ds dev stuff...

We're starting to work on this year's compo, and as I've done some PocketPC games, I thought it could be the right time to open up and have a multi-platform "handheld" compo, with like NDS/PSP/PPC... For now, it seems like it would be games only, not sure yet.

Anyways, I posted because I had a few questions regarding what the compo could be/have :D

1. Would people from here actually participate ? The games don't have to be fantastic (well, participating is always fun, you don't care about winning), and the compo will be held over like 2 or 3 months, so that gives you plenty of time...

2. Would people actually donate for the prizes ? Last year we had a quick chipin widget created, generated a few bucks we used to give out a few extra prizes. Some prizes can be given out that way for like "most original submission" and other surprising games which didn't win

3. Any idea if I could find a PocketPC manufacturer/reseller to sponsor the compo and provide a few very nice prizes ? That would be really awesome, but I have no idea who to contact and how :/ Any tips will be more than welcome :D

If you have any other ideas, suggestions, or questions... I'll stay around ;) (back to coding I go :D)

This forum is the most active one regarding android phone hacks/root/firmware packages and etc.., but my question regards hacking something else; I have a samsung smart tv I got from newegg, and its been treating me good, but it keeps installing tv apps like spotify, fandango, and others without my permission; worse, everytime I delete them, they get re-installed. I can't trade it out for a new or older one, as I no longer have a job, thus no longer have a way to make money (already sent out some job applicatons, but that's an entirely different issue)

My question is: has anyone managed to hack a samsung smart tv in a way that would let them delete these apps from the smart tv and prevent them from re-installing no matter what, or is hacking a smart tv not possible in any regard?

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] benjiesell:
I purchased an att gs9+ directly from samsung, after that, I installed the unlocked firmware. Up to this point, I have used an att sim. When I tried to use a tmobile sim recently, I got a message saying "Invalid SIM card inserted - This SIM card is not supported. I was surprised as I thought it was unlocked since I installed the firmware. I then tried to install a version of the ATT firmare thinking I perhaps still needed to unlock it? At any rate, I tried but ODIN gave me the following error: FAIL!(auth).

So, first question is - If I installed unlocked firmware on my att gs9+, is it truly unlocked?

Second question, can I install the att version back again? Or perhaps the tmobile?

Finally - what does the ODIN error mean?

Thanks for taking the time to read,

Ben
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
SIM unlock is a completely separate thing which you'd need to use an unlocking service for, nothing to do with the firmware

Check the bootloader version your phone is running now, vs the one you're trying to flash, you cannot downgrade the BL

Download mode will show BL:1 or BL:2)

Firmware shows it here

G960FXXU2BRGA

Flash an equal or higher BL
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] benjiesell:
Ok, thanks for the response.

I can see that my bootloader version is 3. I dont see any ATT versions out there for 3 though. Am I correct in thinking that I would need an ATT firmware to even get the sim card unlock prompt? Thats really the issue for me.. I am unable to unlock the device despite trying to reinsert, and running those #XXX*# codes.

nvm...Im not sure if by dumb luck, or putting on several firmwares and clearing things out.. it finally prompted me. wtf...

[Samsung Gear S3] Gary Brett:
Good evening, could anyone tell me if an app exists or even is it possible to record step/heart data directly from Tizen on Galaxy Watch to Google Fit?

I'm aware we can sync data but I need the steps to originate on Google Fit itself rather than S Health.

I ask because in the UK my health provider allows data taken from Google Fit, Fitbit, Garmin & Apple but not Samsung. When I tried to bypass this by synching data from S Health to Google Fit, the company didn't take the steps from S Health, only those that originated in Google Fit.

No idea how they identify which steps came from where but they can so I need to track directly from Galaxy into Grit.

Any ideas really are appreciated

Thanks
[Samsung Gear S3] hmsq:
I presume your health provider is Vitality, because if it is I'm in the same situation as you. From my understanding from their CS\Dev team the data synced to Google Fit using Health Sync is tagged as not being originated from google fit. But it seems those that use google fit API is fine.
[Samsung Gear S3] GuestK00448:
It's a late answer but there is an app which transfers the data recorded from your Watch and Samsung Health to Google Fit including Heart rate and floor data.

But unfortunately the app is just free2use for 7 days. Afterwards you'll have to pay (except your phone is rooted. Then a bypass is possible).

The app is called Health Sync and you can find it in the Play Store!

Hope I could help :)
[Samsung Gear S3] remiqaine:
You beat me to it. I use Health Sync as well for my work insurance. I waited until the trial ended and pay for the $0.99 six month subscription. It has been great and you can adjust how often it syncs the data.
[Samsung Gear S3] Deanowallace:
What about MapMyRun?

What about MapMyRun? It syncs to MyFitnessPal which then syncs to Google Fit. MapMyRun is a better (I think, I'm just new) watch app than Galaxy S Health native app. And this set up would be free. I'd expect this to be API integration so maybe this works? I hope so, or I will send my Galaxy back :(
[Samsung Gear S3] ThatIdiot:
Health Sync is $2.99 for one time purchase. Skip the cup of coffee or bottle of water for the day if you don't have the spare change, and you'll have a great product that you'll take advantage of daily.
[Samsung Gear S3] userdefind:
Health sync is the best to use. Have been using it for over a year now and have never had a problem with it. Had a missed sync here and there but it ends up fixing on the sync. Definitely just do the one time buy tho.

[Samsung Gear S3] TarikVaineTree:
Will Health Sync even work it Samsung Health isn't installed or disabled?

The reason I'm asking is because I plan to root my Note 9 with Magisk and read that S-Health isn't working any longer if I do so.

I wouldn't care, if my steps from my Galaxy Watch are synced to Google Fit with Health Sync though.
