[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eam707:
I forgot my pattern to unlock phone. I used Find my Device (thinking that I can remotely unlock screen with a password or whatever) and now it is locked!!,,,

When I connect it to computer and power up into Bootloader it shows Charging thus my computer does not recognize,. No connection. So I now I can not access the phone even if I want to wipe and reinstall a ROM. Phone has custom ROM Shamu.

I would rather NOT wipe out the phone,,,but since it is locked by FIND MY DEVICE, I dont know how to unlock it and the only solution is to reinstall Shamu, if I could get access to it.

PleaseAdvise!!!!

Thank you,,,,,
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
If the device shows charging, you are not booted into the bootloader.

From a power off state, press and hold volume down then hold power until the Android on it's back, displays. That's is the bootloader.

If you have a custom ROM, which one?

That also suggests you have TWRP installed. You should just be able to boot into the bootloader, scroll to the recovery prompt using the volume buttons and press power to select. Then factory reset from there. You could first do a backup of your user data partition to your computer when booted into recovery, using the computer's file manager.

If it's an older Marshmallow or maybe (?) Nougat release, there might be a way to remove the keystore files by deleting the following files from recovery (YMMV);

/data/system/fingerprintpassword.key

/data/system/password.key

/data/system/locksettings.db-shm

/data/system/locksettings.db-wal

/data/system/personal.key

/data/system/gesture.key

Use newflasher instead of flashtool !
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] LaZiODROID:
wow - i had no idea that existed! Thank you very much.

I found the newflasher thread and clicked Thanks for user [MENTION=4120742]munjeni[/MENTION] !

(Newflasher thread is here: https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/progress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426 and the version I used was the latest (v13))

Simple steps for using newflasher instead of FlashTool:

Use Xperifirm to download appropriate firmware for your device

Firmware auto-unpacks to C:\users\yourusername\.flashtool\firmwares\downloads\xxx

Remove any .ta files you may not want to flash (The only one I know to remove is simlock.ta , as I don't want to risk re-sim-locking my device)

Copy the newflasher.exe to the folder that contains the unpacked firmware (example would be folder xxx above)

Don't run newflasher.exe yet

Get your phone into Flashmode (for this XZ2 it is to have the phone powered off, then hold the VOLDOWN button while plugging the USB cable in)

Now you can run newflasher

Newflasher will first offer to install the USB driver (nice)

Follow the prompts (I said "no" to the dump question - i dont know what it is..)

Amazing. Flash successful, can't wait to play with this device.

Thanks again!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] MyXelf:
For somebody else having the same problem... Another tested solution is:

Another flashing tool helped me find what was wrong...

The boot delivery xml in your downloaded firmware is at the wrong place. It must be in the boot folder within your .ftf file.

It worked for me to flash my XZ3 (H8416)

Change the extension from .ftf to .zip then open in WinRAR...

You can see the boot_delivery.xml out of the boot folder, extract it and save it somewhere...

Delete boot_delivery.xml in the zip, wait for it to be done...

Open the boot folder and drag and drop the saved boot_delivery.xml into it. Wait for it to be done (again)...

Exit WinRAR...

Change back the file extension to .ftf

Done! Try to flash again...

The credit for the solution is not mine... But was able to successfully flash an H8216 using FlashTool versions 0.9.31.0 and 0.9.36.0...

HTH!

I tried AKT on Classic rom with BTTF kernel on Ls997 and had no luck. Not sure if it was rom or kernel or what. Seemed to cut battery time in half instead of doubling. AKT would be sweet if I could get it to work right. Kernel already has no touchboost imbedded I guess btw.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mysticblaze347:
Just a quick update so far... I am currently in midst of testing the Xana Extreme again because on my cell I was experiencing no lag or if any very slim and wanted to real test as I got it working properly via app version. The Zanah didnt seem to cause any issues as it also did increase a few hours of battery life. So far however with the Xana extreme I am currently on 26 hours since full charge and no plug since at 56% battery left. I know it is about SOT, but total life is just as important. No restarts as that kills the test. Im happy and impressed so far. Will post more after battery nears death

Here is a shot of my initial rundown of a new 4100 mAh Li polymer battery that's the same size as the stock one (mentioned in the Accessories section and the V20 Subreddit), getting past 10 hours of screen-on time. You can ignore the averages section of the screenshot as it's the first run.

Setup: LS997, ClassicROM ZV7 | mk2000 BTTF kernel | AKT 1.6, OnePlus3/SD820, Project Zhana Battery profile

I also turn on aggressive doze when idling overnight using Naptime, dim the display down after sunset using CF.lumen, and auto-brightness is on.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mysticblaze347:
So I decided to switch up atm because I wanted my GPU to not be bogged down at all. I checked the Xana battery in the balanced area and was fairly impressed. For absolute no bog down and fully clocked GPU/CPU for full performance and good battery I recommend this. Sure the results seem less, but my battery has also had hundreds of restarts and charges since I got it and who knows how many before hand. A brand new would show better. I also have a dynamic wallpaper and am running Dolby and Viper as well. Same kernel. Same rom. Same phone.

Also the pic shows 15% because phone died before I could get proper screenshot, the 95% is the key and results are still accurate.

This is my final post as to testing for this thread.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] baldybill:
Mysticblaze,

I wanted to bring the conversation from "[Discussion] Improving efficiency and battery life of the V20." back to here since we started to get into some talk about this AKT.

There, you said, "I can get around 10hrs sot (depending) using Xana extreme battery. That's the one I'm currently on.

Have a 4200 mAh battery (reg size)"

1st - what ROM and kernel are you using with that?

2nd - is the battery 4200 or 3200 (mine's a 3200)?

3rd - any other settings I need to know about to pull 10 hours SOT?

Thank you so much!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mysticblaze347:
Yes, 4200. It's a Shemnz. Got from eBay. Rom is Classic for ls997. Kernel is latest 7.0 mk2000. Hard to say on other settings. My test tho was an up to.

I left screen always on with a live wallpaper running with a covered proximity sensor for lowest Auto. Got about 10 and a half.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] My-man-G:
I have a recent thread ' A real amateur'

But I have started a new one as I have delved deeper into the depths of a dead phone :confused:

This is a slight continuation from the previous thread but what I've done now is more worrying.

I had wanted to put pie os on phone, updated twrp the wrong way and wouldn't go into recovery.

Tried to use guides on fastboot and I have had no luck at all with it. Tried SDK downloads and my pc wouldn't run the files( winrar and 7zip didn't show .exe files, just 'emulators'. Even right clicked to run as administrator but still, no luck.

Pc wouldn't recognise my phone also, even turning debugging mode on and alsorts.

So I thought i could run factory reset..? And as you'd of guessed, I have TOTALLY wiped the lot so there's no OS (was using resurrection remix) and now I can't turn phone on and no recovery and the only option available for the phone is fastboot but my pc won't recognise the device, nor can I get SDK, ADB or fastboot to work on my phone.

Have I completely killed my phone now???

I hope not and thank you in advance for the tremendous amount of help in advance and previously.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Will008:
Looking to buy my wife a new phone cause her iPhone 6S battery is dieing out. I plan to get her the S8 exynos and flash a pixel room. Thought about getting her an S9 buy the exynos version has problems with poor battery. Plus the S8 is on sale for $375.

Her use is mainly messaging, social media apps and youtube. How's the speed/fluidity of the phone?

I ask cause I have a pixel 2xl and it's working flawlessly. Smoother than the OnePlus 6 I had before it. The SD835 isn't far behind the SD845 like one would think. I also heard good things about the exynos 8895.

I really don't want to get her a phone with issues cause I'll end up having to buy her another one. Would appreciate detailed opinions/reviews. Thanks.
[HTC Wings] Terror Factor:
Hello everyone!

I've brought my Wings back to the store, trying to get my money back to buy an N95(I want internal GPS!), my excuse was the memory leak, which rendered my phone useless.

Anyway, I've got it back today, the guy in the store said that all the internals had been replaced. I noticed the free memory I have is 176xx kB, which is more than I had before, if I'm correct? I haven't installed anything except route 66. I've tried to get the memory leak, I've started IE, mediaplayer and route 66 and closed it, I managed to get to 15xxx kB, but not lower.

How can I trigger the memory leak?

In settings => Device information

ROM version: 1.31.405.1

Radio version: 25.62.30.03H_1.58.17.02

In settings=>about

CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4)
[HTC Wings] bigflavor:
MB, not KB not kB.

How much RAM do you want free? Is it causing an issue, or are you simply dissatisfied with the amount of free RAM you have?
[HTC Wings] 10332007:
He's trying to use the memory leak as an excuse to exchange his phone through the store, however the store did something to it which seem's (in his case) to have solved his memory issues and now cannot recreate the problems to warrant the exchange.
[HTC Wings] Terror Factor:
15xxx is kB. the x stands for another number, which I didn't remember exactly.

k stands for kilo, kiloByte, so that's correct.

That's about right, but this might mean that there IS a solution, so you guys could ask for a repair, and use your phone at its full potential!

If I could trigger the memory leak, that would be "good" for me, but if I can't, that means that it's fixed, so that would be very good for you guys, so if you know how to trigger it(preferably a step by step guide, like which programs you use, and if you browse, which site etc)
[HTC Wings] serg146:
I often get memory leak by picking 2M photo, then go to album and zoom it to Actual size. It only works right after soft reset.
[HTC Wings] Terror Factor:
I guess it's not fixed then. Now I've only got 89xx kB of free memory left with all the applications closed. If I run media player and go to camera, media player closes on its own.

Damn, if this phone hadn't had this issue, and the gps was not removed, I would love it!

In my experience, all mobile phones, PDA-phones smartphones suffer memory leak to varying degrees. The more powerful, the more leaks. It is an OS problem and both Symbian and WM suffer it. That is why they all require you to reboot them from time to time. I have used many Nokias and seen the problem.

It was about a couple hours after high-noon and the sun was about 45° above the horizon. I noticed that if you hold your device with the top edge facing the sun, the screen unlock doesn't work.

It just happened to be, I was holding my device at the normal angle I hold it at, and I was facing the sun and I couldn't unlock my phone using my fingerprint unless I faced the device's screen towards me; It would give me "The screen is dirty" error otherwise.

If anyone else would like to try and replicate this and see if it happens to them too.

I think the problem must be the sun is reflecting at a weird angle on the screen or passing under your finger print under the glass and it messes with the sensor.

Update:

I just remembered it was at an angle where you could actually see the hole in the screen where the fingerprint sensor can see

The fingerprint scanner is type of camera that captures and compares images, so I'll go out on a limb and say it most likely didn't work due to too much light hitting the sensor preventing a clear image from being visible, so for security purposes, it couldn't verify your fingerprint, which I'd rather knowing that it works well than it taking a crappy scan of my fp and passing it off as okay.

the M1 looks great, but seems to be missing some obvious features.

1) I can't find how to show only contacts from SIM or from Google or from internal storage or other account (e.g. Whatsapp).

2) I can't find an option to permanently hide the number for outgoing calls (I can use my phone carrier prefix for that purpose, but I have to do it for each call).

Both features where present in the Zenfone 2 Laser with Lollipop, so I'm a little disappointed. Is that related to changes between Android 5 and 8 :confused:

I'm at the the point of impatience where I'm tired of saving up for this phone. I need one soon. Financially T-Mobile has an advantage. Reading through the threads, it seems more difficult to take an update though if I install a international ROM, although not to difficult. I remember reading before the phone was released that the T-Mobile version may add an extra bandwidth as well. Of course there is the wait time for tokens and other hoops to jump through. Other than waiting, is there reason not to pull the trigger on a T-Mobile device?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
I've been with T-Mobile 20+ years but bought the unlocked version direct from OP. First OP phone I've had and very pleased with it.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] haasbro:
There are many apps that just wont work properly with either this aspect ratio or this camera.

Other peoples instagram stories get cut off on the sides and no matter if i do hide notch + nav bar to make aspect ratio better i doesn't fix it. And this has been a problem apparently for 9 months on other phones with similar aspect ratio.

Snapchat selfie camera is extremly zoomed in and very low quality. Also after pressing the button to take the picture it takes 1 second before it takes the actual picture and if oyu move your phone at all during that 1-1.5 seconds it becomes blurry.

There's some other apps where using the camera in those apps just makes it look bad, it even crops the rear camera and mostly on the front camera.

I feel like spending 900$ on a phone that looks worse than my old honor 8 on instagram and snapchat and other apps is really discouraging. Some of these problems happened on the P20 and they never got fixed with snapchat/instagram updates so if you experience this and think it'll get fixed don't hold your breath. Snapchat really feels unusable and before you say "The phone does alot of other things than snapchat and instagram" i don't care. It the 2 apps I use the most daily, to write to people in groups, to talk to people to send photos to look at stories. That's why i bought this phone with it's amazing screen and camera.

Highly disappointed and I HOPE that i'm just dumb and there's an easy fix but I've been searching all day since I got the phone and nothing has helped.

This is just a warning for anyone wanting to buy this phone. If i don't find something to fix these issues I'm returning it first thing tomorrow.

I've been seeing people report issues with Snapchat and Instagram on various phones for the past two years.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] haasbro:
Yeah I realize it's not fully huawei's fault. But I do know there is a way to fix it on oneplus by changing settings in the oxygenOS camera app that then affect the snapchat settings. On huawei changing settings in main camera app changes nothing for instagram and snap so it's unfixable atm.

Alot would be fixed if huawei/samsung or w/e offered 16:9 mode for apps that gives them blackbars so i can actually read full text and not have cutoffs.
