[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jcth1:
Hi I have an original shield and after some use with it I realise that even with LOS14.1 it is just best if being used as a media player and something to play games on so I was hoping someone can list services I can uninstall or freeze with Titanium backup to help me free up system resources.

I'm happy to have 14.1 on it as I know the stock 7.0 had battery drain issues from Android itself. I'm not looking to upgrade to 15.1 unless someone suggests it's worth it for the loss of the hw decoder. I don't really use it for YouTube or Netflix but like I said I want to use it to play media in VLC.

Any help appreciated.

Just looking to strip out Lineage so the least is running the better. More CPU for Retroarch ;)

Why is it too expensive than other smartphones. And these apps & games also works on budget smartphones.

Then why should we buy such expensive phone? Any reason?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] bvbsoccer:
Is this a joke? :D

Working apps is the last reason for a better phone, of course every phone can run most of the apps, but even there also differents on the performance. It is not the same when you use Facebook or especially YouTube on a Mate 20 Pro and a low budget phone ( I dont even know a name of such a phone :D)

The main reasons are : Display , Battery (! ), Performance, Camera (!), Features , Design/Haptics

Have you ever used an expensive phone? You cant compare them..
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tiny Wiz:
Why don't all phones cost the same?

Then there would be no discussions on price tags. BUT, then people would begin to complain on why this phone is better than the other and so on.

The value set in the product is determined by the buyer. Not everybody thinks phone 'insert brand and model' is worth the $$.

And of course that is the reason there are so many brands and models out there.

Darn, I don't think a phone can ever be worth more then $200-$300 but still I spend $1000 on this one. No regrets...

For me the phone is just a great toy, a thing that pleases my child senses. I could manage on any phone for a couple of $100 and still get by.

It is up to you to decide, never ask anyone on why you should by this or that. If you don't know how can anybody else now what you should buy.

Buy it, try it. Don't like it? Return it.

Hi everyone,

After 2 years of using my Axon 7 (China) I decided to update.

I choose Oreo 8.1, and I want to stay with it because Dolby Atmos app is much better.

I try to install the other updates of 8.1 and the problem is still the same:

Apps for example JetAudio is running very long when I turn on to listen music, sometime frozen.

Play store too, when I use this app It can frozen, app is closed information on not respond.

Sometimes is info ,,Interface has stopped"

I use apk google installer to install google services or I install manual apk from apk mirror, and it still same problem.

I try to turn on permission to storage.

There is a more options for aps about energy or run in the background and I think its not helpful, maybe someone knows some options that I didn't find ?

Please help..
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Androowner:
Hi.

This was my situation on b15-b16 update also.

Try empty cache of the google playstore, services, framework etc.

But my suggestion is that do full reset, and than go to zte market and download google downloader.

Than you will get a much faster (and clean) device.

Btw Where did you get 8.1 ? My knowing was that 8.0 (b19) is still in beta phase. Never heard about 8.1.

Regards
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rym199:
Ups, I made mistake. It's 8.0.0 Oreo, I get it from forum and flash with EDL mode.

Clear cache no results..

But how I go to ZTE Market ? I need to create account ? If yes, it's immposible because they ask for phone number and number from Poland didn't work.

Is there some other option to go to ZTE Market ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Androowner:
No need for phone number. Maybe you should to register (zte account), but without telephone number. I'm from Hungary and it's works. Sorry that I can't recall the process, it was one day painful work that solved :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breversa:
Hi all,

I recently got my hands on a screen-damaged Archos 50 Diamond (ac50da) running the latest stable stock Android 4.4.4 ROM (I didn't know that an Android 5.1 preview was available here : https://blog.archos.com/fr/lollipop-en-version-beta-sur-le-50-diamond/).

I bricked it by doing the following :

- Trying to install [MENTION=1915408]phhusson[/MENTION] TWRP from here : https://twrp.me/archos/archos50diamond.html, without upgrading to 5.1 first (as explained here : https://xdaforums.com/archos-gen/gen10-development/twrp-support-thread-archos-twrp-t3468677).

This did not work, as when trying to enter recovery mode by holding VolumeUp while powering up the phone would now bring up a totally green, then totally red screen, but nothing else. No device is detected if I plug it in a computer (either Linux or Windows).

- Booting (not flashing yet) CWM from here : http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum...50-diamond-root-procedure-recovery-cwm-v6051/

For some reason, I ended up rebooting (without installing CWM or anything else). But before rebooting, CWM warned me that my ROM wasn't rooted, and offered to install the su binary in /system/xbin/su. That's were I met my doom, because the device would then no longer boot. :( :( :(

- If I power up the device, the Archos logo shows up, then a black screen. Plugging the device on a Windows computer shows a dozen data drives, and the devices itself identified as QHSUSB_BULK.

- I thought of using QFIL (Qualcomm File Image Loader) to re-image the device : https://androidmtk.com/download-qualcomm-flash-image-loader-qfil

I managed to get my hands on a stock firmware image (prog_emmc_firehose_8936.mbn or validated_emmc_firehose_8936.mbn) by paying here : https://firmware.gem-flash.com/index.php?a=browse&b=file-info&id=110067 but QFIL won't flash it as I don't have a driver for QHSUSB_BULK.

- However, I'm unable to find a proper driver for that device. I found several Qualcomm drivers, either for QHSUSB_BULK or the (apparently older) QDLOAD, but none of them include definitions for the Archos 50 Diamond. :(

- The device's USB identification is the following : USB\VID_05C6&PID_9057&MI_00

VID (Vendor ID) 05C6 = Qualcomm

PID (Product ID) 9057 = ??? (should be the Archos 50 Diamond but is not referenced anywhere)

MI (Master Interface) = ??? (no idea what that means)

- Other findings :

The .mbn files refer to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 610 MSM8936

Inside the stock image is an android-info.txt file that reads "board=msm8916"

So, can you guys help me out here ?

I think that finding a proper QHSUSB_BULK driver for VID_05C6&PID_9057 should be enough, but I'm open to any suggestion.

Thanks ! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breversa:
I think I found a driver for that device here : https://driverpack.io/fr/hwids/USB\VID_1D9C&PID_9057&MI_04

It's for a "Sonim XP5 HS-USB NMEA 9057", but whatever.

However, after installing the driver (just uncompress it using 7-zip), QFIL fails when trying to download the firmware image with "failed to switch to EDL mode" (EDL = emergency download).

Anyone has a better idea*?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breversa:
VICTORY !!! :D:D:D

When trying to power off/reboot the device, I noticed that it could still boot in fastboot mode, by holding VolumeUp + power until the screen turns green, then release the buttons before the screen turns red. :)

I could then boot again in CWM (still unable to flash it though), and re-install a stock ROM from the manufacturer site : https://www.archos.com/us/support/support_tech/downloads.html?type=s&rlist=1&devid=240

Phew ! At last !

And now to try and install the 5.1 beta update…

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] twinko:
weird. I know you dont want to, but do a full backup of everything and perform a factory reset.

If that doesnt work, check vor little scratches or impact points in the no responsive area. Perhaps there is something brocken u didnt noticed? If you have a Screenprotector, get rid of it and try without.

If not, i would flash latest Firmware from here www.sammobile.com

and if that doesnt work, it looks like a hardware problem, and i would open up the phone and replugg all connectors related to the screen.

But if you still have warrantry, send it back before you do anything further than a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jr866gooner:
Hello fellow Note 9'ers! I've got a 32gb card just sitting in a drawer doing nothing whatsoever and was wondering about installing it into my N9. A few Q's come to mind.

1. How does the card fit into the slot? It looked too big for a micro sd card.

2. Does having an sd card typically make the device work harder as it periodically scans the drive when being accessed and having files moved to and from it.

3. What do you tend to store upon the sd card? Pictures? Films? Music? Camera stores locally in the camera folder so it would be manual moves if using sd card as a backup.. I'm looking to understand people's usage to see if it's some method I'd follow.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 6thtry:
1. SD card vs. microSD card? The Note9 only takes microSD cards, and if you have one, it should go in just nice. It needs a bit of a push to "click" the card in the holder, and it goes in more easily in certain ways (which edge is inserted first, which way the card is pushed sideways a bit, etc.)

2. Typically just having the microSD card in does not affect the phone's performance in general, unless one has some anti-malware software that has been designed in a very stupid way. However, any access to that microSD card (when such access is needed) are somewhat slower than to the internal storage, but one typically does not even notice the difference. There are some use cases where it can be very noticeable, though.

Files are only moved in/out of it if/when one tells the phone to do so, it does not happen all the time or even "periodically". (Note, this phone apparently does not support installing the card as an extension of the internal storage; in that method there could be less control on what and when gets stored/moved on the card.)

3. The phone automatically switches at least some things to be stored on microSD card as soon as it is installed. E.g. the Samsung camera app automatically switches the target storage to the card instead of internal memory, so new photos/videos will go to the card. One can still adjust that setting manually. (Photos already on the internal storage are not automatically moved.) However, this behavior would be app-specific, i.e. whether one needs to manually change such setting or not, and if such is even possible in an app.

These phones have a built-in "file browser"-style app so moving almost any normal files between internal storage and card is possible, though one might need to know what he is doing, not just blindly move everything :P

The most typical things to be stored on the card are indeed the "media" files: photos, videos, music. One can move also some apps from internal storage to card, but this needs more consideration (i.e. card random access speed vs. how the app needs storage access). Also, Note 9 having so much internal storage space, moving the apps to the card is not as needed as with some other phones.

I am about to press the button on buying a 512Gb dual SIM N9600 from a reputable seller on ebay. This will be my first Snapdragon Samsung. I am trying to find out from the seller what firmware it has on it.

I think I will want to put firmware on it from my own region. Does it matter what the original firmware is if I want to install my local stock firmware via Odin?

I assume it is still the case that putting another region's stock firmware does not affect Knox or the security folder or warranty etc. Is that right?

Last question. The 512Gb dual SIM is not available in my region. Am I right that the firmware I can download for my region would be the same, whatever the storage size and whether it is single or dual SIM?

TIA
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
You can only flash 9600 firmware on a 9600. So make sure there is firmware for 9600s available for your region.

As long as you don't unlock the bootloader and you're flashing official Samsung factory firmware, you won't trip Knox. Knox is tripped by unlocking the bootloader and/or flashing unofficial firmware.

Yes, the firmware for a dual SIM is the same as single SIM.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] n-j-f:
Thanks for the reply. Yes, one main reason I am going for the 9600 is because the only firmware available for my region is for 9600. My region previously had the Exynos variant on Samsung phones but for some reason Samsung has switched my region to Snapdragon 9600 on the Note 9.

Am I right that the only reason to unlock the bootloader is for if/when I want to install custom recovery? I am pleased to see that it is possible to do so on the 9600.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
That's correct. Unlocking the bootloader allows for root, custom recovery, and custom ROMs. It also permanently trips Knox.

Try to find the same version of windows you had before, almost surely it was windows mobile 2003 but i dont know which version (search forums). I am using qtek9090 and *this* (first 6.1 from xplode) version of windows mobile 6.1 and it works like a charm without any green line. Before you flash the phone read the *tutorial* (the one from wiki).

You can also try to hard reset the phone by following instructions inside tutorial. I have flashed my qtek numerous times and i never had any problems with it. If nothing works please post where did you get the rom as here is a lot of different roms...

Potraži istu verziju windowsa koje si imao prije, za sigurno to su ti windows mobile 2003 ali nisam siguran koja verzija (potrazi na forumu). Inače upotrebljavam qtek 9090 i ovu verziju windows mobile 6.1. Radi mi odlicno (a sigurno nema "zelene linije") ali prije nego flashuješ obavezno uradi (i pročitaj) sve šta je u ovom "tutorialu".

Možda možeš prvo da pokusas uraditi hard reset (kako se uradi imaš u tutorialu..) pa češ da vidiš ako možda uradi pravilno... inače fleshirao sam svog qteka više puta i nikad nisam imao nikakve probleme.

Inače postuj engleski više če ljudi razumjeti šta pričaš... ako ne proradi, obavjezno postuj verziju windowsa koju sad imaš i link gdje si je downloadavao, pošto ovdje ima desetak razlicitih romova...
