[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] itsaazim:
Hello, Mi A2 lite is under Android One project of Google, you know!

However,

My phone has Miui Camera app by default. But I don't like it that much. I want to use 3rd party camera apps , for example Google Camera / GCam. So I have to enable " Camera 2 api ".

My phone's bootloader is locked and it's not rooted.

Now if I enable developer mode , then enable USB debugging, then I'll connect to my PC and use ADB Shell command to enable Camera 2 api then..

Will I get any OTA updates or not?

Simply I want to get all updates as I am getting now and I want to do use ADB commands without rooting my device or unlocking the bootloader.

Please help me!

I am not very familiar with the root process overall, but I did root my phone like 2 years ago. So, I decided to start using my old nexus 4 today. I tried to restore my nexus 4 this morning from twrp, and now I am not able to connect it with my computer to install another rom. I am only able to access twrp on the phone. I have been trying to use nexus root toolkit on the computer but I keep getting adb / fastboot device not found. Am I missing any process here? Is there any way to solve this?

Hello everyone. I'm hoping one of you can help me out. I'm trying to switch completely to the Shield from my Roku and I need a working apk of Bravo Now for my wife. Can one of you point me in the right direction or get me one that works? Thank you all!.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] bubbablacksmith:
This comment wont help you sadly, but it looks like the new Fire Stick 4K from Amazon have a Bravo Now app.

In the past, people have been able to rip these apps from the Fire devices and modify them to remove the amazon requirements, so the app will run on the Shield.

Hopefully someone can do this for this app.

Right now I am using Kodi with the bravo TV add-on to watch content from Bravo Now.

It's slow to navigate but it works.

[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] bubbablacksmith:
I have the Bravo Now apk ripped from fire tv, but I don't think it works on the Shield. It opens and you see the Bravo Now animation, but it never loads any farther than that (at least for me anyway).

Here's the APK. Maybe someone can modify it to get it to work.

[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] sunny_mathew:
I was using lineageos in my moto g4 plus. I wanted to flash stock again, so i did that. my bad I downloaded an update. After that i could pass the bootlaoder it shows an error message "failed to initialize partition table" . Recovery mode is also not working. since oem is locked i can not flash recovery, or any rom. what should i do to unlock the oem and flash a rom?
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] skarton94:
almost the same here. my girlfriend´s moto g4 entered into bootloop, even though we havent tampered with custom roms, root or anything. so its got everything just like lenovo intented, rom, recovery, everything.

we managed to unlock oem at moto´s website, but since the system doesnt start, we cant enable it from developer options.

the bootloop takes us out of fastboot. and within fastboot we can scroll through the options but cant select any option.

is her phone a brick? or is there something we can do to save it?

we cant afford another phone nor tech service (right now), and she cant afford to be phoneless because of her job. so if anyone knows of anything it could help us a whole lot.

edit: also it doesnt charge

[General Questions and Answers] mashtr:
Hi Guys! I'm kinda new to the forum. I made an account a while ago, but I never really used it... until now.

Let me just say that you guys helped me out more than once before, but now I need to ask questions to which I haven't been able to get a direct answer to. I dabbled in phone repair (mainly just rooted a few androids). I'm still a novice, but I'd like to start getting work experience. I'd like to start my own business unlocking, repairing, and eventually, creating custom ROMS for all phone models. But I'm still not 100% clear on a few things.

Is it at all possible to unlock android phones by flashing an international ROM? For example, let's say I have an Samsung Gakaxy S7, model SM- G930V (Locked to Verizon), could I, in any way, flash a 930F ROM (oran international variant of the 930F) onto that phone to unlock it? If not, what methods are available to me? Besides the obvious "contact your carrier and have them do it". There are a few sites such as

unlockauthority

unlockradar

That claim to be able to unlock your phone, but how do they do it? Are these sites even legit? I've heard of a few programs, such as Chimera Tools, that claim to be able to do the same thing, but the questions remain the same: are they legit, and if so, how to they do it? Can I learn to do it myself? If so, how? If not, why?

The same applies to iPhones, which I hear require iCloud to unlock. If I have an iPhone X, locked to AT&T or T-Mobile, can I just log in to iCloud and unlock it from there in just a few clicks for free?

watch?v=LsEJwX7BVcc

This guy claims to be able to unlock "any" iPhone by just inputting a few codes. I question the legitimacy of this, of course, but I don't have access to a locked iPhone to verify.

Again, I'd like to start a business. Most people are looking to unlock their phones, so that would be my focus.

If anyone can help me, if even a little, I'd be very grateful.

And of course, once I learn more about mobile devices, I'll be able to help you
[General Questions and Answers] mashtr:
Bump?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Generally speaking, you can't use firmware from one model on a different model, especially when it comes to any kind of Verizon device, that leads to a bricked device. There are cases where you can flash a firmware from a different model number, but those are rare cases and the devices are virtually identical hardware/software(bootloader).

If you're trying to unlock bootloader on any kind of Verizon Samsung device with 4.4 Kiit Kat or newer android, you can give up on that idea, you'll never make it happen, many, many, many people have tried, there is no way to do it. Verizon/Samsung has that locked down tight.

When it comes to unlocking phones, there is no general way of doing so. That is case by case and model number by model number. Not all phones can be unlocked and the ones that can be unlocked use different methods. You'll have to find the method for each specific model number.

We can't help in the iPhone department, this is an android development site, it doesn't deal with iPhone at all, not in any shape, form or fashion. You'll have to go somewhere else with that.
[General Questions and Answers] mashtr:
Thank you very much for your input! I'd like to keep this thread open, in case anyone else has something to share.

I really appreciate your help. From what I understand, unlocking Androids can only "safely" be done by contacting the appropriate carrier, or finding a specific method for each phone model.

I have some suggestions in regards to making the forums more viewable;

1- A moderator operated LOCKED topic sticky that links to the topics of new roms in the windows mobile 6 for "phone type" forum.

2- A moderator operated locked topic sticky that links to radio rom topics.

3- Standard to be added to any new rom post with the following items;

a- recommended ipl/spl

b- recommended radio rom

c- category of people rom is recommended for ; "power users, noobs, casual , business....etc"

4- a specific topic for each (or all) radio roms, with some kind of idea of what benefits they provide.

------

the reason i give these suggestions is that alot of the questions seem to be aimed exactly at these points , and my own personal experience of trying to find information seems to be a nightmare sometimes. (searching for accurate information on a radio rom is HELL) i do believe these can be applied to the forum in general.

edit: i've realized i accidently posted this in the wrong forum, please move to the appropriate one.

What can I do? I only have the option "ADB Only" and not "Apps and ADB only". I was thinking and maybe Magisk can be installed, but I'm not 100% sure to do it.

Howdy...

Today I finally took the OTA to Pie.

And when I plugged my phone this evening I got a Notification about Sony Battery Care, which told me it'll charge my phone slowly.

Whyever it wants to charge until 03:40 in the morning, when my alarm clock is clearly set to 6:30 is a mystery to me.... But whatever Sony.

As it seems it was bugged on Oreo for quite a few people. Did it work for you guys?

I'll do a little testing and check how the charging progress is working now. Next time I'll try to discharge to 1% and charge fully over night. While measuring current and voltage externally. So we can compare to normal charging.

View attachment 4629230View attachment 4629231

Edit:

Well.... seems like it breaks really really easily.

After i got this Notification on the Lockscreen i got a call from a friend and unplugged the Phone.

When i was done, about 5 minutes Later i've replugged the phone but BatteryCare didn't want to start again.

Not only didn't it come back that time, i haven't seen the notification since then! Not even once. It simply vanished for good.

So does anyone of you ever use Battery Care? Even on a regular schedule?

I never saw it.

Even on Oreo.

(I use it since May).

But I only charge it at day until 80% with accubattery.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] GreatLordAnt:
Yeah battery care doesn't kick in again if you remove it from charge before it's finished. Although I had this with oreo also so I'm kind of used to it.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pandemic:

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] nreuge:
I don't use Sony battery care, I don't trust it.

But my charger is connected to a programmable wifi plug. It switches on at 5 a.m. Thus, when I wake up, my device is fully charged.

Of course, the aim is to keep the battery level above 90% as short as possible...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haldi4803:

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] niaboc79:
If you plug and unplugged your device a few times each day or at different hours once a day it won't work.

For example, plug your device between 22h and 23h everyday, after a few days, battery care will turn on.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sp12er:
Should I make my Battery Care learn my habit?

Should I follow this suggestion? Or keep small cycle of charges by using accubattery suggestion to plug off when I reach 80%?

Or should I just teach my Battery Care to learn my overnight charging habit and then make use of it when I can? (ie turning it off when I make small charge on the afternoon)

Xperia1 has the revamped battery care settings in which people can input their desired time for the feature to work.. I hope they update ours to work the same way....
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartinX3:
You can use the app "battery charge limit"

It just deactivates the charging at the desired hysteresis.

Keep in mind that the discharge is slightly higher with a connected USB device, because only the charging is deactivated, not the USB port.

(Needs root)

I charge every of the devices I maintain since years to 80% and the battery is still fine.
