[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpectorOfDeath:
steps above dont seem too work....

are you sure only the 3 files are required in the new .tar?

I can get to step 9 above, but when I try to flash my new .tar file, I get a failed write error right after it tries to write the boot.img file, which is the first file it tries to wrtite.

At this point, I tried just flashing the original 4 files instead, bearing in mind I have already done steps 1-6 successfully, and when the device boots, it is still FRP locked.....

Issue is my ex gfs gmail was the one logged in on my device, i reset before thinking about FRP and now I cant use my device.... Samsung Service Center wants almosts $100 to fx and id rather do it myself because thats crazy considering it should take only 10min if the real process is anything close to this or just uses odin at all.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msaithan:
Then make sure u r using the correct firmware and combination, because if u r not using matched once u will get error
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpectorOfDeath:
i know the firmware is correct, but how do I know which combination file to use? there is no description of the difference between them or what each is for.....

I have the exact same device as you, just on Bell... I have the 4 full flashing files, bl ap cp csc, and they work fine but dont remove FRP, but they flash and load without issue.... I even have the .pit file just incase, but am not using it as of yet.....

Ive been using the combination fole you noted above, but should I use the other one then? any idea why it would work for you and not me, carrier shouldnt matter in canada now because they are all unlocked anyways

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------

maybe this could be it??

I just flash the combination files that you referenced that does flash and boot correctly, and when I get into recovery and do the factory reset in there, I noticed somthing....

this combination file says

Android Recovery

MMB29K.FA60_T337WVLU3ARG1

samsung/gtesltebmc/gtesltebmc

6.0.1/MMB29K/FA60_T337WVLU3ARG1 <<<<----------could this be it?

user/release-keys

I see it says 6.0.1, and im trying to flash 7.1.1 stock afterwards... is that the issue? i need to flash 6.0.1 instead maybe? where can I get the 6.0.1 files as they are not n sammbile firmware

---------- Post added at 09:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

no that cant be it, you sad in the begining of the post you used 7.1.1....

so yea, im lost now; I can unpack the BL and AP files and get the 3 files you said together and repack them into a NEW_T337W.tar file with 7zip,

but then i get the get write error in odin when trying to write boot.img and no error shown on tablet
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpectorOfDeath:
Yea, i was right, OTA updates are broken even with knox at 0x0...

Any idea how long it takes to attach this device to my account over hers?

When/if that happen, you think its better to flash the OS in full back from Odin or just do internal Factory Reset? Wondering if flashing the OS after 72hrs would be more successful in ignoring the old info and grabbing my account since the old info obv hasnt been removed from the device, just ignored by the Combined Firmware Binary

Update: i confirmed this by logging out of all my accounts, samsung google ect, everything and entering Download Mode, should have shown FRP LOCK: OFF but said : ON, which means the device has FRP information still even tho no accounts are logged in and should have released this.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamFirmGeek:
Everything worked as described. If you are finding it difficult to extract and pack the 3 other firmware files, you can opt yo use free tools like Miracle box to load the firmware and then flash only the files you want(sboot, boot, system).

For the link, just indicate and i send it directly to you or visit ifindhub for free Miracle box software.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitr0burn:
worked on my uncles sm-t377w that I stupidly told him to factory reset and that stupidly even though done through the settings menu, it decides it wasn't done properly and promptly triggered the FRP and the sim card in the device was no longer active and he is a super genius, so he didn't know what a google account was, what his email address is, what his email password was... poor guy is dying of cancer and just wanted to play games on his tablet but it was giving ANR messages repeatedly. Must remember in the future to remove google accounts before ever factory resetting a tablet, even if done the proper way. So stupid, I could understand if done from the recovery menu, but from the settings menu while logged in and using a screen lock that he at least knew that password for., that should never trigger FRP.

Thanks for helping me help a dying man.

Hi

I changed the screen on both the 8125(wizzard) and the 8925 before and if i remember correctly the connector is different between them. the 8925 have a connector the to the board whereas the 8125 is only a ribbon that you have to jam into the receptacle on the board. Hope this help.

Does anyone know a fix? My phone is also completely out of battery.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] byproxy:
so i know you can take a pic with the assistant... but it's kind of clunky. if you're in the camera app and frame a shot and then say "okay google, take a selfie" it backs out of the camera, ooens assistant, then reopens the camera before taking the shot.

im hoping there's something like on the Samsung's where you can just say something like "capture" while already in the app in order to snap a shot.

possible?

You can tell Assistant to take a selfie. It will show a countdown on the screen and then take a photo.

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] alnova1:
When I try to pull down the notification bar on the right the screen goes black. Also turns off the always on display. I'm assuming it's something with the Proximity sensor. Tired of all the little bugs and problems with this phone. I’m returning it. Just curious if anybody else is having this problem.

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
I've had that happen on my Pixel 2 XL. Only once or twice and restart fixed it every time.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] fury683:
It's definitely the prox sensor. Always On Display shuts off when the phone is in your pocket or face down, which is detected by the proximity sensor, so that's totally normal. As far as it happening on the home screen, it seems like the phone thinks you're in a call, which would use the proximity sensor to turn the screen off near your head. I would reboot as [MENTION=3731502]jimv1983[/MENTION] suggested and see if that works.

Are you using a screen protector? Sometimes those can cause issues with the proximity sensor, but usually it just causes the screen to shut off and not come back on during a call as it senses the protector at all times instead of your face.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] alnova1:
I had a case with a built-in screen protector on it and I thought that might be what was causing it but after taking it off it still did it. Weird thing though once I put it on the wireless charger it stop doing it. Hasn’t done it all day even with case on. Weird. Still thinking about taking it back to Best Buy and swapping it out.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] tonic1080:
I've had a similar issue where the proximity sensor will not deactivate as long as a call is going (can't hangup, can't unlock, can't speaker phone, can't mute, etc.). I have to wait for the other person to hang up. Get an automated robo-call you accidentally answered....oh well, guess you have to listen to them. I have never been so angry at a phone as I am with this one. Especially as expensive as it is. I absolutely would NOT have bought this phone if I knew ahead of time how aggravating this would be! Thinking of sending it back. BUYERS BEWARE!

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jaseman:
Where did you pre-order from? I see that the lowest price that I can find is on banggood.com

What version are you getting??? Is it a global ROM or a Chinese ROM?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jeradjohnso:
Hey, yeah I wanted to support a Canadian company so I went through PDA Plaza. Didn't really care about the price.

I really struggled to pick which version of the Mate 20 X, because a few years ago I imported a spec'd out Chinese Mate 9 6 GB 128 GB. Turns out two years later with heavy use, I've only used up about 25% of 128 GB. Everything I do is in the cloud or gets backed up by the cloud, so I don't need the storage. The extra ram would be nice but I don't really trust Huawei's ram management to justify the extra cost. My Mate 9 still does everything I need with 6 GB.

So that being said, I decided to go with the entry level Mate 20 X with 6 GB and 128 GB, Phantom Silver, Chinese model.

Dude, if your waiting around for the Global Model, I would recommend giving up. Its rumored, so take this with a grain of salt, but I heard that the Mate 20 X is only being released in China. If a Chinese model is a dealbreaker for you, then you might want to consider the Mate 20 Pro, which is launching almost everywhere except maybe the US.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bacils:
Guys, sorry in advance if this question is kind of a duplicate, but really I spent hours here to find some solution.

I am affraid I am in a deep ****, but I need your confirmation, 'cause you are the experts.

Will make it quick and simple.

Model: Huawei P9 lite 2016

Physical Status: damaged black display, not reacting. New display(s) not working at all. Buttons are fine.

Logical status: USB debugging and other stuff is OFF, OTG is even maybe not supported. I was using HiSuite only and I had to everytime manually confirm that I want e.g. FileTrasfer. Noq I can start up the phone (even log in I think thanks to FingerPrint) and HiSuite partition appears (but not the one with data of course).

What I already tried: I installed ADB and FASTBOOT to my PC. I am able to see my phone in FASTBOOT mode only. I am starting the phone with VOL- and insterting USB cable. However due to all the functions like USB debug off, I am not able to finish any task to unlock anyting or to load another image etc. All is forbidden. When running ADB.EXE, no device is found, no matter in which mode I boot up the phone.

Again, I think this is because of disabled USB debugging mode and I have no chance to change it using standard GUI.

Any hint or am I really done?

Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] tsoureki:
I am in Europe and I am ready to buy the phone. My dilemma is between the two variants. I read all threads in forum and i believe that probably i am going with Snapdragon because:

1) better battery life

2) better gpu performance

3) better data speeds

4) phone runs cooler than Exynos

5) kcal color control support

6) fm radio

7) slightly cheaper

My only concern is the lack of roms, kernels vs Exynos vesrion.

Your thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
You would actually get better Battery Life with the Exynos variant of the Note 9 than the SnapDragon variant. As Samsung's Exynos SOC is far more energy efficient than Qualcomm's SnapDragon SOC. I can confirm that the SnapDragon SOC runs far hotter than the Exynos too. and that is before the infamous SnapDragon 810 fiasco. The Adreno GPU used in the Snapdragon is slightly better than the Mali GPU used in the Exynos. But in terms of gaming both of them are excellent.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] FYL21:
Where's your evidence for that? Many users have been complaining about Exynos battery life and that the Snapdragon is way better. The Exynos S9 wasn't as efficient as Snapdragon due to some hotplugging issue and there's no evidence this was fixed in Note 9. The Exynos Note 9 performs better than S9+ probably due to better thermals and less throttling.

I have an Exynos.

It's always cool even when charging. It has amazing battery life. (1d 6.5-8hSOT)

And I also think that Exynos has better camera processing. That was a case on Note 8 at least.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 3lMghraby:
get the snapdragon variant

for the last two generations the snapdragon variant is better and more advanced

835 and 845 are better than the Exynos counterparts

also there is a huge GPU difference Adreno wipes the floor with mali look at pubg fps with settings for example
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
I am currently using the Exynos variant of the Note 8 and I can say with 100% certainty that it is much more energy efficient than the Snapdragon variant. I also have friends who have both the Exynos and Snapdragon variants of the Note 9. They confirm with me that the Snapdragon variant is more power hungry than the Exynos variant.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] dannejanne:
Exynos also gives you better sound quality in headphones if you care for that. Exynos has Cirrus Logic DAC and the Snapdragon version has Qualcomms built in DAC. I sold my LG G7 as I think the Samsung sounds better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] high_voltage:
The sd845 version - it got better battery life, faster real world CPU performance(the exynos frequency scaling/hotpluging/control is handicapping it hard. Samsung have a good big core and poor knowledge how to use it + it's power hungry), less frame drops in the UI, 25-35% (depending on the workload) faster GPU. The exynos got better DAC and... that's all, it's just bad this year. :)

Not like the phone is bad, I have exynos note 9, got it on good price via carrier and no SD variant. Still, that doesn't mean that the sd845 variant is not vastly superior as it is. Search the xda forums as it was discussed here and few people got both variants - all of them kept the sd845 and returned the exynos stating they didn't expect the difference to be that big even if they come in it prepared there will be some.

As for the ROMs - superior hardware is always better than "hacking" for better performance. You have "samsung good lock" if you wan't to modify the interface and the functions of the phone. Also look at the dev subforums, not like it's filled up with a lot of ROMs/kernels and most likely never will. For sure it's not worth it to get the inferior variant just to have access to few ROMs/kernels that will never match the raw speed of the sd845 variant.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] robroy90:
Isn't it really more about LTE bands? I'd think in Europe, the Exynos would be the obvious choice.

Last post, I promise. In my experience, I have a slight preference for Exynos due to root availability. Having said that; I've found that Exynos pumps out better CPU's and Snapdragon has better GPU's. Antutu, 3dMark, and Geekbench usually back this up. Not to mention the fact that My SD Note 3 would run emulators smoother than my EX Note 4.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ddvniek12:
Hi all,

To get right to the point, my phone doesn't switch on, and I cannot get into recovery/download mode.

The story:

After my apps kept on crashing for no reason, I restarted the phone. After the restart, when it asked my pin, the google app kept on crashing and the phone completely froze up.

Here is where I suspect I made a HUGE mistake. I Took out the battery and started up the phone again. It immediately told me that the system is corrupt and "cannot be trusted".

I continue the boot process, only to land in a boot loop. I take out the battery once again and restart the phone.

After displaying the LG logo, it just turned off. And that was the last time I could get it on.

I tried booting into recovery, but the phone won't even switch on to begin with.

Absolutely no response. Screen stays pitch black.

I tried doing it with the USB cable in, same result. Nothing.

I also read up on the different combinations to get into download mode to no avail.

Stock ROM and firmware installed, no mods whatsoever.

Android 8.0

Can anyone please suggest anything I can do to save my device? :(

Stock LG G6, Oreo. There are two apps: Splendo and at the lesser rate Facebook, that run in the background even when their background services are disabled and I force stop them. I tried running adb shell: cmd appops set <package_name> RUN_IN_BACKGROUND ignore as it was the case in Nougat but to no avail. This command, I believe changed in Pie by adding "ANY" to appops set <package_name> RUN_ANY_IN_BACKGROUND ignore. I received no error when I did the first one (without "any") but the apps are still running in the background and eating up battery like there's no tomorrow. Is there another command that I can try?
