[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
genius idea! I was actually asking myself that question, and this is a great set up. But, usually, if I'm in so much trouble that I need to return it to stock recovery that urgently, the device most likely is probably so messed up that it probably wouldn't be able to read/find the boot.img I would keep in the sdcard storage...

Since the Android 9 update, my FB notifications are really really quiet.

My notification slider is at 100%, all the other apps are blasting, only FB is barely audible. When I go to notification settings inside the app, all the sounds are really low. When I go to notification settings for android, then into FB, they are normal level. I can't fix this. :(

I have a Samsung Galaxy S9.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farrouk:
Hey guys hope this is the right place to ask

so i'm thinking about buying this phone but i started to hear about that BLOD bootloop so, can someone tell me what causes it, does it still occurs, is it preventable ? and Nexus 6p is also concerned ?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
[MENTION=5928028]farrouk[/MENTION]: BLOD is probably caused by losing connections of mainboard, caused by unappropriated aging solder. I didn't read any statement by LG, whether this happened only for some batches or how to prevent it. So, it's all supposing - for example it might help when keeping the cores cool. I wouldn't buy a 2nd hand and for 250€ for a new one you get newer devices.

Hi, I am looking for a 6.5 phone, which will have at least 2 years support of the vendor. It will be used by my wife, so alternative ROM is nogo.

What is the EOS for Honor 8X?

Thank you
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Probably 2 years for software and 1 year for hardware warranty same as other honor phones. Launched with Oreo and beta Pie is already in progress so dont see any issue in getting the next android version.
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] xorcz:

That's only major software update but security updates could extend upto 3 years. And even if ROS reaches, phone still works fine (using 5X since 3 years now)

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] James160103:
Great module, but is there any way of adding the newest Samsung boot animation and the newest Samsung charging sound?

Cheers mate
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] alexbelgium:
Hi, of course! I've added the boot animation in the 1.2 version, please let me know if it is not the correct one. For the charging sound I couldn't find it easily so my proposal is to wait a couple days for S10 sounds to be released and I'll do a S10 version that should include it as it will be based on One Ui! If not, then I'll do both versions; s9 one Ui, and S10.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] alexbelgium:
I've updated all sounds from the latest S9+ pie rom let me know if it was what your were looking for! I'll wait for s10 for the next version. Enjoy
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] alexbelgium:
S10 version out!

Ringtones, notifications and UI sounds updated. See the first post for the downloads link
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] James160103:
Thanks a lot, this is indeed what I was looking for!

I know this sounds all nitpicky, but is it possible to have the genuine S9/S10 boot animation?

I know Samsung uses another file type for their boot animations but is it possible to port it over somehow?

Thank you very much! :o
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] alexbelgium:
Would you have an example, for example a YouTube link? To see how it is different from the current version and what we can do. Indeed Samsung uses qmg for their images and it is not straightforward to convert to PNG files. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] James160103:
Found this video: [youtube]b1ve6pAa9-8[/youtube]

The Samsung logo is slightly more centered and the animation is slower.

I don't think that the Samsung logo in your boot animation is the genuine one also.

Perhaps there is some way to obtain it? :silly:

I don't know how much work you put into making a boot animation, if it's too much of a bother I'm fine with your current one. :)

Again, I'm being extremely spoilt and nitpicky here and I'm very grateful for your patience, answers and of course your work. :good:
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] alexbelgium:
Well I've looked at it and couldn't find a way... It seems that the only way to convert qmg images to png is to execute a software on a samsung phone running touchwiz, as it then uses the local library. As my phone is on lineage OS, I can't do it... if you are on stock rom we could try it, otherwise I don't see another way to extract the info! Regarding speed and size I could try to modify it manually when I will have some time :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] James160103:
I'm surprised you're still looking into this, that's kind of you to do that, cheers! :)

I'd say don't bother, that's just too much effort.

I can't use my S5 anymore anyway as the motherboard seems to have some kind of fault; visual artefacts on the screen, items jittering, snowstorms, random reboots and when I turn off the screen it doesn't come back on.

Got a new genuine display last year and all was fine but now my phone has started acting up again. :silly:

It wasn't my main phone anyway but I just loved using it.

Anyway, thanks a lot again for your patience and helpfulness and your great work, I appreciate it! :good:

Any way you can bump the supported API level up to 29 so there is support for Android 10 ROMs? I've been wanting to use this on crDroid 6.4 (Based on LOS 17.1). Just tried to flash and it had told me that I have to downgrade the version to API 28 (Android Pie).
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] nabhse90:
Any way to have these without the boot animation? Just the sounds change. Or if there's a way to edit the zip I can have a go at it. Just need to be pointed in the right direction. The One Ui sounds pack available for Magisk simply doesn't work for me.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] micks_address:
Hi folks,

I want to be able to use a second physical sim with my pixel 3xl. I need the second sim to be active for calls and texts but the main sim in the phone will be for data use and calls to that sim etc. I've seen a few bluetooth external devices but nothing relatively news. Has anyone a good relatively cheap solution for this?

Thanks,

Michael
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Your idea will not work with the Pixel 3s at this time. Your only option is to get a different device, i.e. iPhone XS or XR. But those are not cheap. There is a buy one get one free deal going on which makes the least expensive one about $500 each. (wanna split it? but only the XS 5.8 lol)

I spoke with a Verizon tech yesterday and he has the XR with primary line on the esim and secondary on an international nano sim. His phone does exactly what you want and that's exactly what he does with it. He also believes, as do I, that this is software related not hardware. So perhaps in the coming months we'll see what the iPhone has ported to the Pixel 3 line. Just don't hold your breath. Other than the bluetooth solution you describe at this point you should probably sell the Pixel 3 and get a different device if it's imperative.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] chaguri:
Hello everyone,

My friend brought me a Galaxy Note 8 from Korea (SM-N950N) and I'm facing some issues using it in Brazil.

1) My carrier - VIVO - used to work with 4G conection in this very same SIM Card. However, I got only 3G with my Note 8.

Importante info: the seller had the phone carrier-unlocked before selling it. This phone was not new from the box. Someone had used with Korean carrier.

2) Is there a way to know if I'm using any different ROM from stock?

Should I root and flash any other ROM for local use in Brazil?

Any guidance is of great help!

Thank you very much.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
You would have to check that your Service Provider uses the same LTE bands that is support on the N950N. As not all LTE bands are support for use on the N950N.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] davisdlrch:
According to frequencycheck.com at this link the SM-N950N should support all the 4G bands. Did you make sure and enter the correct APN settings in Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names? Do you have LTE/3G/2G (auto connect) selected in Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks? You should check those settings first.

First time i missed to stop the automatic install of the HTP software but after i saw what has been installed, i made a hard reset and stopped this.

Are there tools installed in ROM or why can´t i see them in the software removal list?

Hey guys, i was trying to post this as a reply to this thread but i wasn't allowed: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.ph...6IKs71WjSjTXIwm-IHR22AOFfOB0nVMc86EX1986seHCY

So, this morning i woke up to finnd my phone (wich had been charging the whole night) not turning on and with a white led blinking (short flashes, not long ones as in notifications). I don't know if it was just the screen or if it was off, but it wasn't warm or anything. Anyway, i tried turning it on, connect to my pc, switched charger, and nothing happened, i held power + Vol Down, nothing happened. Also tried Vol Up, no results. But when i held longer, it vibrated 3 times (sign of hard reset) and the LED stopped blinking, and i kind of died. I'm assuming its a soft brick.

But i don't know what caused the first symptoms, or what the blinking white LED means. I'm also not sure if i should follow the procedures on the link i mentioned, knowing that i made the hard reset after it was blinking. Im hoping all i have to do is wait for the battery to drain, and it finally turns on asking to charge.

Any thoughts of what i should do? I don't know if i keep it off any power source and wait, or try to recover it as the link suggests.

Thanks! I hope you guys can help me out.

TWRP issues

Commonly TWRP will not install if you're using a version incompatible with the device, check to make sure. You should always have the original stock frimware on hand in case anything goes wrong. If you do encounter difficulties such as bootloops you can basically start over by flashing in the stock firmware in download mode via Odin3. Sometimes after flashing it may take a while for the device to fully boot up, I've had some take hours.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] KFIK7:
Dear community, my Redmi Note 4 had its battery dying, so I ordered a new BN41 battery on ebay. After receiving it, I followed a video tutorial on youtube in order to replace the old battery with the new one. After that, I started the phone and since then it's in bootloop mode. The only thing I get is the Mi splashscreen without the android message at the bottom, and it keeps looping like that if I dont hold the power button in order to shut down the device. If I press volume down and power button I can enter fastboot mode. I also managed to unlock my phone with the official xiaomi unlock tool. I tried to use SP Tools with the fastboot rom "Redmi Note 4 MTK Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download" ( nikel_global_images_V10.1.1.0.MBFMIFI_20181206.0000.00_6.0_global_b73ca18a6f.tgz) from en.miui.com a-234.html

I use SP Tools version 5.1648 with replacing the cust.img with a cust global I found on different forums.

In SP Tools I leave all checked and "Download only" mode, when I plug the phone all the process runs successfully until the end, but then when I unplug the phone and start it it's still in bootloop (no android message at the bottom of the screen, only the "Mi" logo in the middle of the screen ).

I haven't tried anything else, and not sure what else should I try, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help. Let me know if you need any additional information that could help to resolve the issue. Before changing the battery everything was working fine, official rom, just the battery was not holding anymore.

Best regards,
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Spukey:
Even though bootloops are generally a software issue, I would carefully consider the fact that it occurred after you physically opened your phone and replaced the battery.

I would open the phone again and examine it for the possibility that a connector inside has been disturbed and maybe not re-seated correctly.

It may also be beneficial to temporarily put back in the original battery just to rule out the possibility that the replacement battery is not causing an issue, (though I can't see how it could).

Once you have been able to rule out any physical problems then look into reflashing the rom etc.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] KFIK7:
Hi, Thanks for the feedback.

Actually, I have proceeded to physical checks, tried previous battery, connectors, but unfortunately still the same...

I have tried several fastboot images using SP Flash tool, always the process ends successfully from the tool side, but phone remains in bootloop after turning it on.

Could installing TWRP be any sort of help ? I am not an expert so trying to figure out the possibilities. I have not able to install TWRP anyway so far, there is a lot of information out there but I'm having trouble to figure out what is the right information. As I don't have access to android to set the phone in debug mode I am trying to install TWRP with SP Flash tools, but haven't been successful so far.

Any additional thoughts ?

Best,
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] KFIK7:
Hi, after further inspection I noticed that I damaged the main board flex for my redmi note 4 while replacing the battery.

My Redmi Note 4 is MTK processor (not Snapdragon) The flex on my phone says :

CM885_MAIN_FPC_V2.0

FWSZ 42 16

I find on aliexpress , ebay, replacement flex cables but with other references.

Are the cables for SD & MTK different ? From the pictures they look pretty the same, but apparently they are different can someone confirm ?

For MTK version of the phone, I find replacements, but with other references than mine. I did not found any with the FWSZ 42 16 reference ; but they all have the CM885_MAIN_FPC_V2.0 reference

Does anyone knows which reference of cable I can order, knowing that my phone is an MTK version of the redmi note 4.

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to edit mixer_path.xml in order to lower headset microphone volume for VOIP calls or to adjust its sensitivity (for calls by apps such as Messenger, WhatsApp or Skype) on MIUI 10, Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x. Also, I would like to change the default headset volume setting for VOIP calls, so that the lowest level would mean no sound at all, and the last but not least would become way lower. The headset volume part, the only headset volume setting, specified for microphone setting, looks like this:

<path name="headset-mic">
<path name="adc2" />
<ctl name="ADC2 MUX" value="INP2" />
<ctl name="IIR1 INP1 MUX" value="DEC1" />
</path>

adc2 setting looks like this:

<ctl name="ADC2 Volume" value="4" />

I don't know what is specified by the value "4".

If I understand it correctly, IIR1 INP1 MUX volume is defined by value of DEC1.. ¨

<ctl name="DEC1 Volume" value="84" />

DEC1, nevertheless, changes volume of many other things besides the headset mic volume. On the top of it, there's not any other kind of definition for headset mic VOIP calls.

I add here the full file mixer_path.xml, for Xiamoi Redmi Note 4x. If you have any idea what else is possible to edit/change to achieve the desired changes, let me know please. I went through many forums to gain the information, but this file looks way different than for e.g. Samsung's phones. So the change must be unique.

Thanks a lot.
