I honestly wouldn't recommend flashing unofficial twrp. You should wait for official twrp to release for this phone here:

https://twrp.me/Devices/Xiaomi/

I suggest you only unlock your bootloader and use stock rom for now and wait for official twrp.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] SHPhone:
Problem syncing contacts

I’m having a heck of a problem trying to get my new Galaxy Watch (46 mm/non-LTE) to properly sync my contacts. I first realized that I had a problem when I tried to use Bixby to place a call from the watch. Sometimes I woul get the message “contacts syncing” . Sometimes I would get the message that the contact was not found.

I tried resetting the watch and the Samsung Wear app but that didn’t work. I read that turning off Bluetooth and trying to sync over Wi-Fi helped. However, I cannot tell if that is really helping. Some contacts do work while others (most) do not.

It would help to understand from what source the watch gets the contacts. For example does the watch attempt to sync with my Samsung account? Does it attempt to sync with the contacts that reside in the phone memory?

On my phone, I have the contact app set up such that it only displays my Google contacts and I use my Google account as the storage location. I wonder whether that is the problem and if I should somehow either save everything to my Samsung account or save everything physically to the phone.

Naturally, Samsung customer support was worse than useless. The first person I spoke to had me do the hard reset and when that did not work told me to take the watch to a local Service Center. I tried speaking to another support representative today. This one insisted that the Watch would not dial contact numbers from Bixby because it was not LTE.

Any insights?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] minervino96:
Hi! It may seem stupid, but give it a try if you haven't already.

In the Galaxy wearable app, go to the tab 'settings' and then 'Applications'. Scroll down till you find the contacts and then check in the settings from where the contacts are synced. The default should be from the phone, so try changing to your google account.

If you already did this, then I don't know for now.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] bobcpdx:
Hello all,

I was warned of an impending "update" a few nights ago. Since it hit, my mobile hotspot no longer works.

Does anyone else have an S7 Active on Red Pocket who has a working hotspot? If so, could you share the APN settings you are using, and the Android version you are on?

I think they rolled me back to January 2018. G891AUCU2BRB5

Would rather not factory reset or root, but getting very close to doing so. Neither RP or AT&T are helpful here.

Thank you,

Bob

Red Pocket Mobile Hotspot problem solved - stock Oreo 8.0 fixed it

Well, for anyone who might encounter this, I finally resolved it.

Pulled the SIM card and did a factory reset. Then it recognized the Oreo update over Wifi. Had to load an intermediate update first.

I put it Red Pocket's AP settings.

First time I tried Mobile Hotspot, it still didn't work.

Restarted the phone.

Still didn't work.

Then I remembered one rep saying to switch MVNO type to "IMSI".

3rd times a charm. Hotspot and USB tether now both working.

After ten hours of wading through poor advice, I'm back to where I was four days ago.

With one exception: I learned how to turn on Developer Mode (tap Build Number 7 times in Software Info)

AND SHUT OFF THE AUTOMATIC UPDATES UNDER DEVELOPER MODE SO IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN!!!

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] TFDwarf:
I have a stock S7 Active/G891A that I bought unlocked on eBay in March of 2018. It's currently running Oreo 8.0.0, build G891AUCS4CSA3. I just now disabled OTA updates thanks to you.

I've been trying to get Mobile Hotspot to work on this phone ever since I switched Consumer Cellular several months ago. Whenever I tried to enable hotspotting the phone screen would display a popup:

Please wait while verifying

Which was a normal message on the AT&T network, but now (using AT&T's network through Consumer Cellular), after 5-10 seconds a different window would appear:

Tethering/Mobile AP is unavailable.

A network issue may be preventing use of your Mobile Hotspot. Please call Customer Care at 611.

[excessive hard-coded line breaks omitted]

Over the course of several weeks in January I literally spent hours on the phone with several Consumer Cellular 1st and 2nd tier support techs trying to get past that error. Tier 2 support gave me new APN settings, had me do a network reset, and suggested that I do a factory reset. Which I did later, but that didn't work, either. Then CC tier 2 support gave up and bumped my ticket to tier 3. Tier 3 support then transmitted their version of an APN definition to my phone, but still no love. At the end of the 2nd week of phone tag, a Tier 2 tech told me that "it <Mobile Hotspot> just doesn't work with some phones not sold by us".

Maybe hotspotting won't work with my old Motorola Razor, but I was pretty sure that I'd eventually strike gold with my trusty G891A.

Because my S7 Active has version 4 of the boot loader (thank you, latest and final OTA), I haven't been able to find anything that resembles a working root. I even paid OneClickRoot to do it via remote desktop session, hoping that they had some good mojo that I hadn't yet discovered. But their support tech hit a wall, too, and ended up flashing my phone back to stock Oreo 8.0.0. They also refunded my purchase almost immediately which made me sort of happy but still sad that I had no Hotspot abilities.

While searching for possible workarounds (ROMS, root, mystical incantations) tonight I came across your posts:

So I followed your tip. I created a new APN definition and copied in all of the values from the CC Tier 3 definition . I then set Mobile virtual network operator type to imsi . This value was set to None in all in all of the other APN definitions on my phone.

I didn't even need to reboot the phone. I selected my new APN definition and enabled Mobile Hotspot. The first message about verifying came up. But then the phone didn't direct me to dial 611. Mobile Hotspot simply started working.

Thanks every so much for sharing this insight.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] barotropic:
WOW! Thanks so much for posting this. I've been struggling for a couple of months to find a way to hotspot my two unlocked LG's (G6 and a G7) on Cricket and Consumer Cellular. This trick enabled hotspot/tether quickly and easily. :D

My apologies to Cricket and CC, for my unflattering thoughts about them. I assumed it was their issue! Not sure why these unlocked LG's are fidgety like this. We got a Moto X4 (Android One flavor) in the family, and it can hotspot with no tweaking.

BTW - I have a similar issue with call forwarding on the LG's. Can't enable it, get an error. But the Moto X4 has no problem on either of these AT&T MVNO's. Anyone have an easy answer for that? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] TFDwarf:
This doesn't answer the call forwarding question. I'm not sure who pushes OTA updates, but soon after my last post I got a notification that an my phone needed to be rebooted for an update to finish. This was after I (at least thought that I had) disabled automatic updates. After the update the hotspot feature no longer worked. I checked APN settings and found that the update had reset the APN MVNO type to NONE . I manually changed it back to imsi and it's been working ever since. I also made sure (twice with reboot in between) that automatic OTA Updates are disabled.

Although enabling/disabling these features seems to be problematic with AT&T MVNOs, what I find more curious is that techs at Consumer Cellular claim not to know how to fix them. Maybe that's true, or maybe that's what they are told to say.

Was it coincidence that I received an OTA update within days of making this change, or is the Big Brother with the Blue Death Star logo watching us so closely?

Starting today the "Upcoming" (at least that's what it was called) section of the Google Feed where you get stock prices, upcoming flights, etc now has a black(it's actually black not the dark gray you get in "dark mode") background for each card but still a white background for the main screen.

It looks awful and I don't see a way to turn it off.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jaytv:
Turn off Night Mode and/or dark theme. Just tested it and it changed the cards back to white. Looks like Assistant is getting a dark mode soon...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
That sucks. I like the dark theme. I just don't like that it isn't consistent. All dark would be great. All white would be fine. The mix of the black (not even the same color as the right of the dark theme in the OS and other apps) and white looks AWFUL.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibuprophen:
I don't have this variant myself but, LineageOS is a Custom Firmware that can only be flashed via a Custom Recovery (like TWRP).

The Custom Recovery can be installed using Heimdall but, your device requires the Bootloader to be unlocked first because a locked Bootloader will reject anything that's Custom.

I hope that I had explained this okay via text... :thumbup:

[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Germ2501:
For me, I've given my phone a factory reset before I installed the Beta labs/initial final(V5.110, December 2018-January 2019) build. Despite that, I did notice my battery life taking a hit when running this iteration of Pie. I was at most getting not more than 5 hours of SoT on average. And I do use my phone a lot throughout the day, the camera, web browsing, videos and social media. Meanwhile on Oreo, I can get 6 hours on average no problem. Sometimes even 7 hours if I'm lucky.

After updating to V5.140(February 2019) with Adaptive Battery brought in, I seem to have gotten back my average SoC just like when my phone was running Oreo. Running 5-6 hours on average. I'm not sure if Adaptive Battery has anything to do with this since I did notice the improvement immediately. I also disabled some of the Evenwell crap before updating to V5.140, so that may or may not have an effect.

Sorry to heat that. Have you tried installing some apps like better battery stats to see what exactly is saying up your battery? If your phone is rooted consider installing ForceDoze from f-droid and maybe WakeBlock to regulate some wakelocks that may be the cause of your terrible battery life. I have been able to get great battery life using the latest put version. See screenshot below from a few days ago.

Download KaiserTweak and disable "Assisted GPS". This will configure your phone to rely solely on the internal GPS chip for routing instead of using cell phone towers as well.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stud1118:
also on the KaizerTweak go to the Data (GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA/WIFI) section and disable the GPRS connection by selecting the 4th line where it says "Enabled:**** Web" ans set it to "Disabled" to avoid extra charging from roaming. This because QuickGPS might use GPRS or even assisted GPS might (or not) use GPRS or other Data connection.

Hi All I have the Mate 20 Pro and absolutely loving it apart from the below problem.

WiFi keeps dropping out. It's definitely nothing to do with the wireless router as all other devices working perfectly and my previous SAMSUNG S7 never had any issues they only started when I got this new phone.

Unfortunately its causing serious issues for me as I can't get data connection downstairs and rely on WiFi.

I've read others have problems and apparently Hawai cut corners with the WiFi and put a poor quality device inside?

Is there anything that can be done or is this definitely a hardware problem and something I just have to live with I. E. Not being able to use it on WiFi?
