[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nktheninja:
Hello, I would like to talk about my Google Pixel 32GB (8.1) that bootloops. Here are the things I know about it:

1. I bought it a while ago off eBay saying it was a bootloop problem. It sounded like a software problem, so I thought, I could fix this. Turns out I was wrong.

2. I can get it into the bootloader screen

3. It occasionally boots up but then freezes and starts looping again. It normally turns on whenever I turn it off for an extended amount of time. When it did turn on the first time, the first thing I did was turn on OEM unlocking but it says "unavailable to carrier locked devices".

4. Also whenever I leave it off for a while, I can get it into recovery mode.

5. I've tried factory resetting the phone but no hope

6. I can't put a recovery OTA on it because Android Pie is waiting to be downloaded. If I try to download that, it takes too long and the phone loops again

I would really appreciate some help with this and thank you in advance for helping me with it. :good:

1. I get about 6 hours of SOT on my new 5"' Pixel 1 with browsing, whatsap, youtube and camera the main apps.

I find that the camera is battery hungry.

If I were to Upgrade to the Pixel 2, should I expect a big improvement in battery life?

Please have in mind that batteries degrade over time, so comparing a 2 year old Pixel 1 vs a new Pixel 2 is not very acurate:)

Other aspects besides battery life:

2. Will I get better bokeh effect (I am already using alternatively the Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 camera). I've seen pictures with both and they re more or less similar.

3. Does the Pixel 2 run cooler?

4. Does the Pixel 2 chrge faster?

5. Better Wi-fi and network signal?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] redsmith:
Nope, I would suggest you keep your OG Pixel. You have a headphone jack! There's no quantifiable difference between OG Pixel and Pixel 2 besides a much improved design. I would suggest you wait for the next iteration.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] cntryby429:
I upgraded from the 1 to the 2 almost exclusively for the front firing speakers. I missed it from my previous HTC One M8. I would prefer a headphone jack but my headphones were already BT and I mostly listen to podcasts and audio books so the decreased audio quality is a non issue. Other than the headphone jack and speaker orientation they feel nearly identical.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] icstrim1:
The main gripe for me is not enough storage for my music.

Will an one year old Pixel 2 offer better battery life compared to my new Pixel1? People always charge their battery full and that kills it much faster.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] icstrim1:
After usingg the Pixel 2 for 9 months, here are my comparison conclusions:

- better wi fi signal and slightly mobile network signal

- better battery life when using the camera intensively, quite a big difference

-similar stand by drain and display quality

- prefer the in hand feel of the P1

-improved haptic motor

- slightly better pictures especially low light

- faster storage by quite a margin. It was quite slow on the P1,loading apps took a longer time
[YU Yuphoria] mad_sanal:
Hi everyone.

Well it's a well known issue of yuphoria to get stuck on bootloop and you can find many youtube video to fix it too. My yuphoria is now experiencing the same problem. It is stuck in bootloop. Thing that is different in my case is it bootloops on anything. Even if i connect it to a power source or a laptop, it start itself and get stuck in bootloop. I also noticed that it is not recognized by my laptop in adb command prompt so i cant even rely on traditional "boot in recovery method". I tried to put it manually on fastboot mode by pressing down the pwer key along with vol down key. It does reboot in fastboot mode but still is unrecognizable by adb fastboot commands. I flashed bootleggers rom that was based on oreo 8.1 and was my daily driver on this device. Worked quite well too. I also installed twrp recovery but it seems to be absent now as I cant enter in recovery mode in anyway. Please suggest some means to fix this device. Thanks in advance.

Hi. Does somebody knows howto activate volte on HTC 10? I saw on a website that I need to enter in settings and activate it but didn't found the option. On HTC website say that I can activate it. Now the big question is 'Does HTC 10 support volte or my carrier has something to do with this?'
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Please mention your carrier.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] golfnz34me:
I was able to activate it on my phone by doing 2 things:

First get an app that can edit the hidden settings menu. I use an app called "4G Only Network Mode"

Turn on the "VoLTE provisioned" and "Video Calling Provisioned" Settings.

Find the APN settings under Mobile Network Settings

Create a new APN called ims. Edit the APN and add only 2 parameters: Set APN to ims, and set APN Type to ims. Save the settings and your VoLTE should work now. Or at least it did for me.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] salageanandrey:
Hi there,

I just got my Pixel 3 from BestBuy, opened it, restored some settings from an old phone and gave it a test. I'm pretty satisfied with almost everything, but it looks like the "Screen call" feature is missing. That one thing that Google was promoting a lot is not present.

Does any of you have this issue? When you go to Phone settings or when someone is calling, do you have the option for screen call there (I don't )

Thanks,

Andrei
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] samnada:
Yep, just tested it and works fine. There's a "Screen call" button on the screen that pops up for incoming calls. Works as advertised, although the transcription of what I said from the other end was garbled, so not perfect. I looked but don't see an option to turn it off.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] salageanandrey:

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] mudman7991:
Hi, I just bought the Atom Life couple of weeks ago and using the OEM WM6 pro ROM WWE_RC214090782, radio: AL1_KLNC2340_070905_RS001, CE OS 5.2.1616 (build 18120.0.4.0). I just found out the camera flash light continue to light up when connected using Internet Sharing on the PC. Due to the unit getting hot, I took it out from the case and to my horror noted about this continuous light coming out from the camera flash :eek:.

My question is: Is it NORMAL with Atom life that the camera flash light will continuously light up when using Internet Sharing? Sorry for silly question - this is my first Atom that I am using. The camera software installed on this unit is Camera version 3.0.1 WWE, Build 07.07.11.01.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] mudman7991:
The led light is turn on as well when ActiveSync

Again I just noted the led flash light is turned on as well when performing ActiveSync. Is this NORMAL with Atom Life? If not how to prevent it from occurring? Appreciate any input from Atom Life user who has see the same problem and who can provide the solution.

With the issue of poor battery life, the led flash light turning on while synchronizing or when running Internet Sharing is not good; it making battery drain getting worse and the unit will get very hot :mad:

I desperately need the answer/solution from all sifus out there. Thanks in advance.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] mudman7991:
Only me having this problem...

Duh...I guess I am the only one having this problems :eek:
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] o2 xda atom exec:
When you use cable to connect to pc,the led will turn red because it will charge the phone.

For the camera light,i don't know anything about it because i have the same problem with you.lol
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] Sined_:
I have the Atom Life with Windows-Mobile 6.1 (OS 5.2.19209) and I have the same "problem". Sometimes the screen light is blinking too !!!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] mudman7991:
Is it the same with PV Atom Life by MedKid ROM?

Sined, Yes the screen light is blinking because the lid camera flash light at the back of the phone is continuously turned-on (when connected using Internet Sharing or when synchronizing); that how I discovered about this problem. Any idea from senior user of Atom Life out there either this problem is due to software or from hardware?

Sined, the ROM that you is using right now is OEM rom or cooked ROM? I am asking because I plan to flash the ROM with PV Atom Life by MedKid version 6.1.0.5. Appreciate the input from MedKid ROM user - did this problem go away with this ROM?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] Sined_:
I have the PV Atom Life by MedKid version 6.1.0.5 ROM.

With the Windows-Mobile 6 OEM rom I THINK I had the same problem with the flash light (but not sure).
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] mudman7991:
I will ask further question in MedKid thread

So this issue is not resolve by using cooked ROM by MedKid then :rolleyes: - I will ask this issue in PV Atom Life by MedKit threads.

Sined, thanks for your input.

Hi again,

I have a friends T95Z and trying to fix it up. It won't connect on WiFi. When you go to network settings - WiFi is switched off. If you switch it on - it "pretends" to search for about 40 seconds - finds no AP nearby and switches "Off".

I have wrenched on a number of these T95Z. boxes and always seem to get them working.*

Hats off to Superceleron and his ROM -* His ROM really cleaned up the first couple of these I worked on. They had the LTM8830 chipset I think.

Then I worked on a couple newer T95Z's and that ROM didn't work. If I recall - same thing where you can try and turn the WiFi on but it just turns off. I think they turned out to have the 9377 chipset. Found a workable ROM for them and all is well.

Okay so here are some pics of the insides of this one:**https://imgur.com/a/Kd2M1Ta

I flashed a bunch of ROMs - Here is like a list of some of the file names etc:

Poison ROM - https://xdaforums.com/android-stick--console-computers/amlogic/t95z-plus-poison-rom-t3751720

T95ZPLUS_q200_9377_customV3.2

atvXperience_v2F_s912

s912_atvXperience_v2FF

T95U PRO_S912_02012017_

v1016-EB-AGCF-LPDDR3-2G

Sorry that I didn't keep great notes on what I flashed but hey - once you start flashing - it is just so easy to try another one.*

Anyway - Several of the ROM's said they were for the AP6255 chipset and ALL of the ROM's do the same thing where the WiFi just won't turn on.*

Now I am not an expert on this - so I don't know:

Can you confirm - Is this a Sunvell?

Is the wifi chipset an AP6255?

What else should I try?* I wandered into a T95U ROM... should I wander further and look for Beelink or other manuf ROM's that show the AP6255?

Is there any other tool or APK that can be flashed after ROM install to query the hardware config or add chipset support?

Open to ideas.*

Thanks!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] AthieN:
The problem is that flashing multiple ROM's can sometimes leave remnants behind and mess things up. Or, you flashed an incompatible ROM that hosed up the EEPROM. The first thing I'd suggest trying, is to go back to square one by flashing the proper stock ROM back on the device again using the USB Flash Tool and be sure to select "Force Erase All" when doing it. I've ran into the same problem on multiple occasions and flashing stock always seems to get me back up and running again.

If that doesn't work, then you'll probably need to crack it open and reset the EEPROM by shorting out the pins in order to get it into a state where it'll overwrite the incorrect code. To do that, make sure the USB Burning tool is running and the USB cable it plugged in so you know when it's been triggered. Then run a paperclip along the pins of the chip until it trips and shows back up in the tool. That will put it into programming mode so you can re-flash the ROM again completely.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] wantpizza:
Thanks for the reply.

I am downloading the 2G version now. I will try a force flash as suggested.

A couple of questions - when a ROM leaves remnants - what are the other symptoms? I thought that lots of problems appear when the flash is "dirty"?

Anyway - I will flash this version when Mega lets me finish the download.

If I have to move on to step two and short the eeprom - which chip in my pictures is that?

Thanks again!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] wantpizza:
....

Okay - well force flashed the referenced ROM and even another "Factory" ROM supposedly for the 6255 wifi chipset. No go.

They both still work it seems fine - but no wifi.

So any hints on reseting the EEPROM?

Thanks again,
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] AthieN:
Very strange. It almost sounds like your WiFi radio is malfunctioning. If that's the case, then there's really not much you'll be able to do to fix it unfortunately...

One thing you can do to verify, is to grab a file manager like FX, go into /system/etc/wifi and verify that the 6255 directory exists. If it does, then it's probably just the radio. You'll need to be rooted to do the above though. Also, grab a terminal emulator, 'su -' to root, and run a 'dmesg |grep eth' and 'dmesg |grep wifi' and see what it says. You might be able to figure some stuff out based on the output... Are you 100% sure you have the 6255 radio?

As for the EEPROM, it's pretty dangerous to do that, but if you really want to try, just do what I mentioned earlier. Crack open the device, plug it in to power and the USB, and then run a paperclip along the posts, shorting them out until the device resets and shows back up in the USB burning tool...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] wantpizza:
Okay - flashed just about as many variations I could find. I tried your trick of looking for a folder inside /system/etc/wifi and did confirm there is a directory labeled 6255 and it has some files in it. I will try to run a couple of grep commands too and post what I find. But I am starting to feel that the actual chip is faulty.

After further thought - I am not really wanting to do a dangerous step to reset an EEPROM when it might turn this from a device without wifi to a device that does nothing.

Still curious - looking at the pictures I posted to begin with - is anyone sure that the chipset is the AP6255? Does this chipset do both the cat5 and wifi networking? Or is there yet another chip that does the cat5 networking? (I know there are better words for this - just can't think of them right now)

Anyway - anyone have any other thoughts? I already explained to my friend that this one looks like a hardwire only device so I am putting it back together.

Thanks again,
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] el80ne:
You're beating a dead horse thinking some magic ROM you flash will fix it when it's clear the source of the problem is the common denominator of wifi being hosed on all of them. Especially since you said you installed roms that supported your AP6255 (as your board pic makes clear) wifi chip where everything else worked except the wifi.

You need to grep for the wifi network errors as AthieN spelled out how to do in his initial reply.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] wantpizza:
Thanks for the other hint on running the grep command.

I tried and tried to copy this a better way - but short of retyping word for word - a picture was the best I could do.

https://imgur.com/a/oZxojmU

I don't read many reports from a grep command but it is interesting - on one of the lines it reports that "No power on pin 2"

Not sure if it simply is that the chip wasn't soldered in correctly?

Anyway - that is the update. Any thoughts or things to try before I give up are appreciated.

Sorry - didn't read this before my post but don't worry - I am with ya. I had a suspicion from the start. But - there is lots of "Wizardry" in these forums so worth a post.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] el80ne:
The good news is that it looks like your kernel isn't finding the right wifi driver on boot which is why it's shutting down. That means there actually might be a ROM version out there that supports your device. But maybe it just doesn't know where to look.

The name of your modular driver is for the AP6255 is dhd.ko.

Try loading it manually from command line as root.

# modprobe dhd

See if you can find dhd.ko in your filesystem somewhere under /lib/modules.

If you can't then try and find a rom that has your wifi driver module on it called dhd.ko.

Update: Just saw there's a more updated qualcomm driver called qca9377.ko so try to load that module or see if the file qca9377.ko exists under /lib/modules.

# modprobe qca9377
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] wantpizza:
Okay - well good news bad news?

I tried to load each of those other drivers

# modprobe qca9377
modprobe: can't change directory to '/system/lib/modules': No such file or directory

# modprobe dhd
modprobe: can't change directory to '/system/lib/modules': No such file or directory

Now I need to find some other rom that has those drivers?

Or can I just find those files and place them in that file directory? Anywhere I can just get the driver?

Thanks again,
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] wantpizza:
Okay - newest update

I searched and there was no folder named 'modules' in system/lib

So I created that folder and I copied dhd.ko into that folder. (I searched for the newer qca9377 but i couldn't find it)

Now if I type modprobe dhd in terminal as su I get

#modprobe dhd
modprobe: can't open 'modules.dep': No such file or directory

Oh and - newest wrinkle - somehow I installed something that pops a durex condom ad ontop of everything about every 45 seconds. What is the easy way to find the offending apk? I tried to long click so I could find the properties or something but nothing working. The only thing open is this terminal emulator??

Anyway- that is the latest.

I have a P20 Pro bought from China, as I had problems using my S8+ with China sims, but Google Pay contactless doesnt seem to work. I can add my cards fine but when I try to set up contactless payments I get the message "Additional features could not be set up. Please contact your bank". I have contacted my bank and they ensured me everything is fine on their end. Everything was working fine on my S8+ so I don't believe it's my bank but rather the phone firmware. Anyone come across this?

If it's the firmware, is there a way to bring it to EU firmware but unroot it (lock the bootloader?) after I'm done? I'm quite sure Google Pay won't work if my phone is rooted and my bank apps definitely won't either.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] C1emen7s:
I'm running the latest stock 9.0.1 and my wifi has been terrible - i'm not sure if this is since I got the phone or if it's just since i updated to Android 9 as I only noticed this issue when I started using certain apps. I checked my speedtest logs and it looks like I was getting normal download speeds prior to updating to Android 9 so not sure if there's a way to roll back to the previous version.

Basically on all my other devices I'm getting download speeds of just under 200Mbs and upload of around 150Mbps. But on the OP6 I'm getting download speeds of <5Mbps. Note this is on 5GHz. The situation is improved on 2.4GHz but barely - 20Mbps. Upload speeds on both are fine and consistent with my other devices. I don't know if this is speed related but a load of apps aren't working properly as a reason and consistently just show a circle reload logo rather than loading what it should. It also seems to be struggling to download any apps from the Play store while on wifi (or sometimes it does but there's a huge delay).

Any ideas? I've already wiped cache, rebooted my phone, rebooted my router, reset network settings, etc. Unfortunately OP tech support hasn't been particularly helpful so far.
