[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] scarletwahoo:
Running into more Samsung issues. They put restrictions onto WiFi tethering with the latest on the go update. I have the international Exynos version, so the bootloader is unlocked and I can downgrade until I find a suitable replacement.. I predicted Samsung will turn into Apple; this is the last Samsung phone I will purchase and I will shoot it in the plinking range. It's sad, just like Apple, they had superb hardware, but some of the most restrictive software.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] SnowFuhrer:
You are sure that isn't the carrier restricting tethering?

Hey XDA Family,

I've been searching everywhere even here but I need help. My phone was dropped and the screen is broke/black. It still works as I can receive calls and able to answer with headphones. LED lights still work.

I have previously enabled USB debugging but never switched to default USB behavior to MTP. It's set for USB charging.

My goal is to use Vysor to view my phone screen and kinda-sorta semi use it temporarily until I can replace/fix it.

Some other tidbits - it was powered off and on - so it's on that initial screen where it requires Pattern Unlock.

Am I SOL? ADB doesn't recognize any device (and it won't because it's not in MTP mode).

Is there any tool I can use to force switch to MTP? I read stuff about Miracle-box.... not sure if that will work.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] gabrielshaste:
I am still stuck. I tried ADB once again but still no go.

Even if there's a way to factory reset the phone so that the lock screen is removed may help. Remember, I have no screen. to view.

Has anyone heard of an OTG adapter that has an HDMI out so that potentially I can connect a monitor?

Thanks again.

Through Fastboot/ADB

If you have TWRP installed (command line should work if recovery doesn't work) it sometimes gives access to the storage when in recovery mode (hoping you don't have a password). If you turn off the phone then start into bootloader (power + volume up) then from your PC use the fastboot commands to restart in recovery (https://tektab.com/2015/10/31/android-bootloaderfastboot-mode-and-recovery-mode-explained/).

Once you think you're in recovery try to connect the USB and see if it picks up the storage.

If that fails you can try to do the same stuff using the adb commands instead of the fastboot commands, it's a little trickier but i think you should be able to use an adb pull command to extract the files from your phone, if you get it to work then you can also reset the phone to factory through the commands. This way you won't give whoever is fixing it access to all your data.

If the phone itself isn't broken you can always order a replacement screen and either replace it yourself or have someone who knows how to do so, unless you had planned on getting a new phone.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] gabrielshaste:
Thanks, I'll try that and let you know if it worked.

I wasn't planning on replacing my phone... just fixing the display.

It's been a week now and I am still trying to scrounge up the cash to get it fixed.

Anyone know how much OnePlus charges for an official replacement? I have a phone repair shop nearby that quoted me $155 (USD). Seemed a bit pricey.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] abalanceddiet:
I'd see if you can pay them to just install the screen, I went to a local shop about a year ago and they charged $35 for just the labor, as I already had the parts.The screen is like $150 or so on ifixit, which is about right for an OLED like the 5t has.

Before November update, battery percentage of my bluetooth headset is indicated in status bar. After update, status bar is only showing bluetooth headset name. To see the remaining batter percentage, I need to go into bluetooth settings now. Earlier version of direct in status bar was so convenient.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Phillis:
Hi guys,

I'm having a weird problem that I am unable to resolve. It drives me crazy since I have a very long drive daily and rely on bluetooth audio.

When playing music over bluetooth, there will be stuttering after 20-30mins of playback. The stutter will occur sporadically every x seconds. Sometimes it goes away sometimes it doesn't.

A quick fix I found is disabling/enabling bluetooth, which resets everything and gives another ~20-30 mins without stuttering.

Since I use the phone as a work device, I bought another one so that I could run some tests. Both phones are unlocked.

I tried Pi Experience (Pi) and Lineage 15.1 (Oreo). Both were ran without any apps other than the built-in ones and Play Music.

A few troubleshooting steps I did:

- Since this is occurring on 2+ devices, I strongly doubt it's a hardware issue

- My previous LG V20 (Android 6-7) and friends Iphone have zero issues (so the car isn't the problem)

- This stutter occurs on any BT device the phone connects to

- Disabling/enabling bluetooth resets the issue

- Pi and oreo are affected

- Disabling BT/Wifi scanning in location does not resolve the issue.

- Stopping every service related to BT besides a2dp while the problem occurs does not resolve the issue.

- Restarting Play Music or stopping Play store does not resolve the issue.

- Disabling battery Manager on Pi does not resolve the problem

What I think the problem could be:

- Memory leak in the A2dp service? (I have no idea how to check for that)

- Power saving features that are applied to the BT service after being active for so long (since resetting the service works)?

I'm running out of ideas. Does anyone have any suggestions/tips/story on what the culprit could be and how to fix it?

I can provide a logcat of when the problem occurs if that can be of help

Thanks

Phil
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Phillis:
Bumping this up in case someone can chime in!

I have tried all the firmwares as they become available and still face this issue! I know for a fact I am not alone with this problem since I have 2 Redmi Note 5 pros with this problem, and had the exact same issue with a Samsung Galaxy S9+ (snapdragon) that was returned!

If someone can answer these questions, that would be greatly appreciated:

- Do the Firmwares available contain the actual android drivers for bluetooth? Or it's the literal firmware for the SOC (the driver would then be a different file inside the /system partition)?

- When you disable/enable bluetooth, what happens in android? Is the driver unloaded/loaded? or maybe disabled/enabled? Since this step resets the the problem, i'd be interested to know!

Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] onliner:
Maybe Doze-related, but I use audio over Bluetooth for like 2hs almost every single day in my main device (Is not whyred) without problems, so I'm not sure about that.

1- No, the Bluetooth blobs are located in /vendor partition.

1- The operation of bluetooth is complex, many things happen when it's switched on/off, but simplifying: some processes and services are started/stopped.

Anyways, the best way to find the problem is taking logs and send it to the rom developer.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Phillis:
Thanks for the reply.

This occurs on every rom that is loaded on the devices. I have a strong feeling it's related to the drivers.

I tried looking at the logcat while it glitches, and no errors seem to be shown. I will attach one within the next few days.

Greetings,

So web pages doesn't load on certain apps like Google chrome stable, DuckDuckGo browser, Gmail (the loading circle keeps on spinning forever), and Inbox. The blue circle keeps spinning forever. Even the video ads don't load.

Though internet works just fine on apps like Youtube, Reddit, Firefox (Stable and Nightly), Chrome Dev, etc.

I have a rooted Oneplus 5 and this issue started after upgrading to Pie Open beta 22 yesterday.

I have tried:

Factory reset

Dirty Flashing

Reinstalling

Changing Wifi's

Mobile Data

Clearing app caches, cookies, and storage data

Please help me. Thank you.

Edit: Play store works fine for me.

Edit2: Completely uninstalling chrome from system and reinstalling as a system app works for chrome. But, this still doesn't work for Inbox, Gmail, and DuckDuckGo.

Edit3: Okay chrome stopped working again. Making it a system app disable webview app and makes Chrome the default app for implementation. So, it has stopped working again.

Edit 3: Okay either shell hide or magisk prop config modules from magisk were the problem. Removing them fixed it. Thank you everyone for your time.

Go into Developer options and look for the Webview setting. Make sure something is selected. (As you have Chrome installed, select that).

I updated my WebView app. Still no luck. Tried completely uninstalling the app from system and reinstalling it. Didn't work.

Tried changing the WebView implementation from Webview to Chrome from developer options. Still nothing. :(

The Webview app was selected before, I tried changing it to chrome but still the same. Somehow uninstalling chrome completely from system and reinstalling works. But that still doesn't work for Gmail, Inbox, and DuckDuckGo. I tried all possoble combinations with Webview, Chrome, and Chrome Dev.

Edit: Okay changing chrome to system app brings back the problem.

[Shift General] motoi_bogdan:
So I has some free time and the shift was laying around...

Anyway let's get down to business.

The first part of the guide will cover the basic disassembly tips you maybe need in order to open up the casing and maybe upgrade something.

You will need a T6 screwdriver. That's all..but if you want to disassemble the display you will also need a T5.

1 Start by removing the battery, stylus, any card, sim or whatever is attached onto your device.

2 The shift's screws location is shown here.

3 You will need to remove the 3 rubber caps in order to expose the upper screws. First I thought the middle one is a connector to an external antenna. Nope, it's a screw hole.

4 After you're done with the screws you will need to remove the keyboard in order to have acces to another screw underneath it. I've found out that removing the keyboard is a bit tricky. There are no screws holding it, you simply must pull it off. Carefull not to bend it too much and begin with the upper part.

5. Underneath the keyboard you will have to remove this screw and the ribbon like cable that connects the keyboard. In order to do this, pull upwards the white blocker (shown with the green arrow) then pull off the ribbon cable (red arrow).

6. Next comes the first ugly part. You should remove the back cover on your shift in order to expose it's motherboard. Begin by placing your fingernail on the right bottom corner (or the left - you choose) and go along all the cassing in order to separate the 2 pieces of casing. You may hear a lot of ugly noises, cracks and so on... it's pretty normal, just don't abuse the casing too much. By the way, keep the shift in "laptop" mode while you do this.

7. After you remove the back cover you should see something like this.
[Shift General] motoi_bogdan:
Carefull with the hard disk. There aren't any screws fixing it to the motherboard. It's simply ...placed there, the back cover will fix it back to it's position. Don't tilt the device or the hard disk may fall and could damage the connector cable (orange ribbon). Around the hard drive you may see a black rubber insertion that protects it from certain shocks.

I've heard some of you guys asking about the dimensions inside and the possibility to replace this hard drive with another one, more thicker. THERE IS SPACE INSIDE TO DO THAT.

The silver corner and the whole sides of the rubber casing is about 2-3 mm thick in the upper portion and just about the same underneath the hard disk. It's kind of soft thus you may insert a larger hard drive without problems.

(Someone asked about a 2.5 drive replacement into the shift -- NO way dude)

8 Next you will need to remove the aluminium radiator and the fan.

You have to remove the following screws:

Note that the far right screw is somewhere deeper and you may need to move the hard-drive a little to get acces to it.

9 After you remove the aluminium heatsync you should see something like this. If you want to remove the motherboard from the chassis you should also remove the marked screw.
[Shift General] motoi_bogdan:
You may remove the ram board but carefull. It seems pretty stuck in there you will need to use some force. Here's a photo with mine removed. The metallic piece in the lower part of the picture is the card reader's casing. The card reader is made by Panasonic.

In order to remove the card reader first unscrew it (it's the last screw i was talking about 2 pictures ago). There is a ribbon connecting it to the mainboard.

here is the card reader removed:

and here is it's ribbon connector:
[Shift General] motoi_bogdan:
Here is the GPS antenna. YEP it is here. I've seen simillar antennas on bluetooth GPS mouses. This one is properly connected and seems to be powered. HTC had some GPS in mind when it designed the Shift.

10 In order to continue the disassembly you must remove 2 screws located somewhere around this area. They are under the ribbon cable connecting the hard drive to the motherboard.

Be carefull around that area. The shift's motherboard is made of 2 pieces, apparently one for the x86 side (intel processor, GMA950 video, card reader etc) and another for the WM side. The 2 parts are linked via a connector that is secured by those 2 screws. YOU WILL NEED TO BE CAREFULL WHEN REASSEMBLING THE SHIFT. IF THAT CONNECTOR ISN'T ATTACHED PROPERLY YOU'RE IN FOR A LOT OF TROUBLE AHEAD (had mine... trust me).

Here are various components.

RED - Display side connector. This is the only connector linking the 2 sides.

BLUE - Keyboard connector.

GREEN - underneath that area lies the connector that links the 2 parts of the motherboard.

YELLOW - those cables go to the wireless antenna.

Here is the Shift's internal microphone. Like I've said, i didn't know it had one.

The mic is linked to the generic "WM side" of the motherboard. Actually it isn't that simple like wm side - x86 side but as I can see these 2 parts seem to be pretty well diferenciated. One side - x86 - heatsyncs, ram, hard drive... another side - WM, aluminium caps soldered over the chips (like in most phones) microphone, gsm/gps antenna. The WLAN module is also located there.
[Shift General] motoi_bogdan:
11 If you remove the motherboard you should see something like this. The arrow marks the position of the antenna block (like the one shown in the FCC pictures).

If you want to remove the display part from the rest of the body you have to remove these screws:

2 more of these are located on the left side. Also remove them. Then the display should come out easily. Carefull not to damage the ribbon connector.

.

12 If you want to dissasemble the display you have to remove the screws from it's back plate. It should also come out easily. You should see something like this:
[Shift General] motoi_bogdan:
The hinges that enable your display to tilt are located inside the display block. Here's a photo with one of them :
[Shift General] motoi_bogdan:
now some tips about how to do this process if you want to upgrade the shift.

BE CAREFULL. The Shift's motherboard seems pretty delicate. If you want to mess with the hard drive, first disconnect the cable from the HDD's end, then from the motherboard.

If you want to remove the RAM board, pull it off by using 2 fingers, 1 for each side. You will find that the module is firmly attached and woun't come out easily.

I don't recomand you remove or try to mess with that silver foil over the display's back (one of the last pictures). There's a jungle of connectors and wires underneath it and they are cought between 2 layers of that stuff. They can be easily damaged.

When reassembling the shift first start by connecting the small ribbon from the microfone to the motheboard, then connect the display's cable. You will find it more easily to maneuvre if the display is at halfway distance from the main body. Then connect the 2 screws that secure the connector between the 2 portions of the motherboard. ONCE AGAIN, CAREFULL TO HAVE THESE 2 SCREWS FIRMLY ATTACHED. In my first try, the connection wasn't good so when i powered on the shift, it started to make some scarry stuff with it's leds and display. No harm been done but it was pretty scarry. You may then reattach the rest of the screws in backwards order.

If you will want only to upgrade the HDD just stop at "removing the back cover" part. There's nothing more you need to do, you don't need to remove the motherboard and there's pretty much no risks involved. Just be carefull with the ribbon linking the HDD to the motherboard.

I heard some advices about some serials on the chips and such data. Yep, I did photos of these things too. I'll attach them also, tomorrow after I organise my list of findings and notes that I've made with those. I'll post them by category. However I didn't find much, most chips are imposible to read because of the faded markings and other ones are covered by aluminium caps that are soldered over them. The shift looks like a large phone. :p

Please ask questions if you have. I'll try to help and be specific on those topics.
