[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
The way I've been explaining it to people who are new to it is it is a separate partition where "drivers" specific for the phone are stored. This way the phones OS can be more generic and easily updated. As everything that is unique for the phone is stored on that partition.

That's not entirely how it works, when I get asked by non tech people that's kind of how put it. The idea was to separate the OS and the HAL to make it easier to update. The whole goal is to actually be able to roll out update to devices on a regular basis by making it easier. (At least that's what I would assume)

I have redmi note 5 pro indian version with huaxing display panel so if i flash any custom rom other than miui based rom it just shows a black screen ie no display so can anyone fix this?

I don't think Xiaomi will provide updated source codes
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] htchd2sucks:
In recovery?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] rahulrulz:
Recovery had the same issue earlier but latest builds fixed the issue

Now the issue is with roms
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] htchd2sucks:
Yes, I informed the various recovery devs about that, I know it was fixed on latest versions.

I'm surprised it's not working for ROMS, I though the problem was fixed...

Have you tried telling that to the roms dev? I doubt anyone will read that here in this questions section...

The latest PE rom (https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-5-pro/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3830197) is almost perfect. Maybe it can be updated to include the relevant drivers.

Maybe it's a kernel thing also, so maybe it's something you should discuss with Derp Kern devs, for example?

https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-5-pro/development/derp-kernel-clang-4-4-138-t3804996

I don't really know who deals with "missing driver" in current context, try get more information in the threads?

Same issue here. There's a RR build working for me though but I don't see fingerprint settings in security menu. I have goodix though. I tried a few pie ROMs and all of them just have a black screen.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] rocker00:
The calibration file for this panel is missing on custom ROMs, here's a flashable zip with this file from MIUI which should fix this, mount system and vendor on recovery before flashing (mandatory)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] NitinRanganath:
Wow, can you confirm if this works on all ROMs ? Also, I'm using a custom modified kernel currently in order to use custom ROMs but it breaks WiFi. Does this break WiFi too ?

EDIT: I dirty flashed Bootleggers ROM which I was using with the modified kernel and flashed only the ROM and the fix zip. The black screen issue still persists. I had mounted both system and vendor before flashing the ZIP. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I request the OP to confirm if the ZIP fixed his issue.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] rocker00:
I don't have this panel and also using MIUI, i just found this file while i was looking for something else, i thought it might do the trick, maybe Xiaomi should update the source code to support this panel for custom ROMs, but clearly this file is the calibration for this panel!

About the FP Sensor I'm have a goodix too, but the dev of Pixel Experience is working on fix for it, maybe if you contact him, you problem with the Display can be solved.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] NitinRanganath:
The fingerprint issue was only with the old RR May build. After flashing the latest ROMs, the fingerprint option is available and works fine. Thanks though. As far as the display is concerned, custom ROMs don't boot without a specific kernel and that kernel breaks WiFi. I appreciate the efforts though. Also, on some ROMs, the maximum is quite dim but its fine on NOS and McAOSP.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LOLonPC:
When I got my phone (25th of September) the battery life was great and I even had a ton of apps installed.

Recently my battery drain got worse all of the sudden. I thought this was due to a lot of apps, so I did a factory reset. This didn't help so I did it again. While it got somewhat better, it's still very bad.

With 3 hours SOT I lost 70%. I went into battery usage and it said my phone was constantly awoke and it probably shouldn't be that way.

Here's a pic of my usage https://imgur.com/a/Q3SfMm3

I'm really desperate and don't know what to do and if my phone is faulty.

Edit: I was on 4G for the majority of the time, yet it says Wi-Fi was always on, while I had it turned off.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] MauFerrusca:
Hello. I have a brand new V20 910, unrooted and stock.

I've noticed that the physical buttons on wired handsets do not work even though the notification bar correctly distinguishes between just phones and a handsfree headset.

I've tested two LG original (the one that came with the phone and another one that came with an LG G3). Audio comes correctly from the phone drivers and I configured OK Google to listen to the wired microphone and it also works correctly. I mostly use the buttons for Poweramp (set to Respond to Buttons, as usual) which worked perfectly with my Cloudy LG G3

I downloaded the Headset Button Controller, set it into debug mode and I get no debug messages from neither of the three controls. And also tried switching the HiFi DAC but nothing has worked.

Can someone please suggest what I should try or do? I am no stranger to phone disassembly, but I want to avoid it if possible.

Thanks in advance.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tim3tripp3r:
Headset buttons can be pretty hit and miss.

I'm using a LG V20 H990DS Oreo update with Xiaomi hybrid dual driver earbuds and the buttons work fine (as they did with Nougat). Android is pretty fractured and the manufacturers (earbuds) don't all follow the specs leaving a lot to be desired. I also have found good luck with Beyerdynamic but YMMV as you have a different model number of V20 from me.

I use Poweramp, MX Player, USB Player and Vanced YouTube app with no issues.

I'd go to a store and do some in store demo of different brands to see if they work with your phone before I'd tear open the phone. Good Luck.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] MauFerrusca:
Wow. This is very sad to read. I never would've expected this from the V20, being the audio flaghship phone it is.

Thanks for the input.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] MauFerrusca:
Well. I cleaned the jack, and of course it was... well, clean.

And then I decided to disassemble the phone to visually and physically inspect the jack and it does have the 4 contact points (ground, mic, left, right) as usual, so I'm still baffled. If the contact points were dirty or faulty, the notificacion bar would not switch correctly between phones and headset.

I ordered a new headphone jack from eBay and I will inspect it to see if I can push the contact points further to provide better connection and then replace it.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] XsaucerX:
You have to activate the sound when you press the button in the poweramp settings, i had the same problem 3 days ago and that fixed it for me
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] MauFerrusca:
Hi, and thanks for your input. That Poweramp option I've always had active, since the days of my Galaxy S2.

I'm guessing that it's got to do with the physical contact inside the jack. I've noticed that the mic from several handsfree I've tested does not work either.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] gleesl:
Hi everyone, kinda need advice regarding my Note 8's iris scanner. Apparently my iris scanner is not working. I have read through the forums stating that wiping the cache partition and so forth but still no hope. Did a full reset through recovery. Btw, phone is never rooted and never clean flashed before. On 8.0 now.

Any advise is highly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
I would take your device to a Samsung Service Center and let them take a look at it. As there is a chance that this is a hardware issue that needs to be repaired or replaced
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] gleesl:
hey there, thanks for your reply. I brought it to a Samsung Service Centre yesterday and they said the sensor needs replacement which costs around 8000 baht.. I'm currently in Thailand. Then I asked if will the water proofing/water resistant will still remain after going through the repair.. they said YES... hmm.. kinda doubt if it still is able to resist water though..

If you get it done from the Samsung Service Center it should be fine. As they have the necessary tools to maintain the IP certification rating.

Use face recognition instead, if it works. I used the Iris scanner only in the beginning and found it very unreliable. Face recognition works well. If not I use my PIN. Keep it simple. LJ

[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] ChipCollector:
Hello everyone,

I have a Vky-l09c432 Huawei P10 Plus with an working System. So I would like to Update the System from Nougat to Oreo, and there is a small problem, which I cannot deal with. So maybe here is someone who has a good tipp for me. The Phone is not rooted, but has the bootloader unlocked.

The Thing is, that I have broken any Recovery installed (There no stock recovery or no TWRP).

So I tried to flash a recovery / System / Boot or whatever via. Fastboot Mode. If I try to do this the command prompt shows up with the fallowing error: failed (remote command not allowed).

All Drivers are installed correctly and in HiSuite the phone shows up too.

So the Debugging Mode is activated, but I cannot active OEM in developer Tools, because its grayed out. And I cannot also relock the bootloader again to use OEM in Developer Option. I don't have the Bootloader Code anymore. :mad:

Is it Right, that I cannot flash (failed (remote command not allowed). ) because of the OEM Setting ? (Fastboot devices shows up correctly)

With the Dload Methode, I also have a Problem, because the Files are to great for my SD Card (4GB+).

Is there any Option to install a Recovery (custom or Stock...) on my phone again ?

Kind Regards & Thank you a lot

Hello,

So since I installed the November patch few days ago, the AOD stopped working properly. It doesn't recognize any touch and lost the double-tap functionality, except when using the S Pen, then it works like a charm. I have no idea why this is happening but it's frustrating. Anyone else experiencing such issue?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Vortelf:
Eastern Europe. And cannot tell you to either do or do not update. The only thing I got form Samsung Support was to do a factory reset which was a ridiculous proposal.

I took the risk, updated today and it's been fine. Really crazy that Samsung suggests a hard reset. Hope u manage to sort it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
On November security patch(build ARK3) as well on the Exynos, with no such issues.

Erase cache in recovery and re-check, well and good it it fixes, if not do a "reset settings", if still fails, do a "factory data reset" as you have no other option.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jaco_1234:
I'm trying to help a friend recover the data from his oneplus A5010. The touch screen is not responding so I can't enable anything. (file transfer... OTG... Are off).

I read in the forum that it is possible to switch usb debugging on. Using custom default.prop file and then sideload it from the recovery.

But for that I would need a help for a developer and some basic instructions on how to flash the custom file.

I checked maybe it is possible to install CWM or TWRP. But from what i can tell i can't install then without the debugging option

Other solutions are also welcome.

LMAO it's not possible for the top corners to match the bottom ones because they are physically rounded because that's how the screen is shaped and if you try to make the top corners match your just going to be giving up a good portion of the top of your screen. This is common sense.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] zarbix:
Has anybody gotten the Sony's official usb drivers to work? Its somewhat mandatory for xperifix et all.

I tried it on 2 completely different machines.

On win7 x64 box the driver complains about Error 10 - This device cannot start.

On a win10 enterprise thinkpad the error is similar:

"This device cannot start. (Code 10)

The specified request is not a valid operation for the target device."

I am starting to suspect that the drivers are faulty. FWIW the thinkpad has NEVER seen *ANY* adb/android/sony drivers before.

This is the "Sony sa0118 ADB Interface Driver" btw. Installed as a legacy device as per Sony's instructions. Driver is already not working before a device is connected. Device is subsequently also not recognized. Device works perfectly fine in flash mode on my Linux notebook, just not both windows boxes Ive tried (sadly Windows is required for Xperifix)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] juandiazmora:
You use the drivers that comes with flash tool? Those are working for me without any trouble on Win10
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] zarbix:
tried these and they got me a little further - but not very. On first connect of the xz2c in "blue" mode Windows said something along the lines of configuring new device: Android. So far so good. Then started xperifix, which found the device and started to get device information during which it crashed (program got stuck, no .NET exceptions or anything). Now even 2 reboots later the phone is no longer recognized, I assume xperifix somehow borked up the fastboot drivers?

PS: the constant more often than not non-working recaptchas are getting a little annoying..
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] Miichaell:
The drivers have to be installed in testmode on Windows 8-10. In Windows 7 it should work "out-of-the-box". And yes, I know I'm answering to one year old question, but it could be helpfull to someone one day. Maybe.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sap1359:
Hi every one

I have a Lenovo vibe p1a42 which is rooted properly along with the SuperSU.

I'm going to write a custom userspace governor, using cpufreq and hotplug facility but I have some problem with online and some other entries in sysfs.

I have 8 cores and it is possible to change the corresponding entries in sysfs. I can successfully selecting the userspace governor by:

adb shell
su
echo userspace > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/scaling_governor

I do the last line for each core and then I set the valid frequency by writing to corresponding scaling_setspeed files.:)

I know it is possible to dynamically on/off each core by writing 1/0 to the corresponding /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online entry.:cool:

However, I cannot change the status of some processor to online by::(

echo "1" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online

two cores of eight are always off and it seems that it cann't be controlled, manually, in this manner.

I know there is some kind of hotplug manager in android devices which activate appropriate core numbers according to the load.

How can I get ride of such hotplug manager and get full access to all cores due to the maximum performance?:confused:

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] dzidexx:
I don't know.

Format this sd card & test it with h2testw.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] BillBillBill:
Solved it. It seems that an SD card which has been formatted in the camera cannot be read by connecting the SD card to the Mi Pad 4 Plus.

What has to be done is to format the SD card in the Mi Pad 4 Plus, then insert it into the camera, take photos in the normal manner, then remove the card from the camera and connect the SD card to the Mi Pad 4 Plus via a card reader. The Mi Pad 4 Plus can now read and copy the photos.

When the SD card is re-inserted into the camera do not format the SD card in the camera. Rather use a delete files function in the camera to blank the SD card. I'm able to carry out this process with a 128GB SD card and a Fuji X-T20 camera. The usb hub I've got also allows me to connect the SD card, a hard drive and the Mi Pad 4 Plus, so I can back up photos to the hard drive as well.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] BillBillBill:
On reflection, while the above works for me, it's still a workaround.

Is it possible to enable the Mi Pad 4 Plus to read an SD card which has been formatted in a camera?
