The stock ROM I seem to need for this device 'SM-T210, Tab3, 7.0, 8GB WiFi, has these specs: KOT49H, T210XXBOB1, PHN, build date Feb 3 2015, Android version 4.4.2

Kernel version: 3.4.5-4081557

I'm not sure about KitKat or Jelly Bean as both seem to have Android version 4.4.2.

So what's going wrong here?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdausernl:
No mather what stock ROM I try to get installed via Odin, any attempt does fail.

When I try to update via 'recovery' on the Samsung Tab3 from a stock ROM on an flash drive, installation will still fail.

Perhaps due to I once forget to uncheck 're-partitioning' in options before any change has been tried, and I've no idea of the concequenses.

Before, when connecting the Tab3 device to an computer, through the USB cable, I was able to browse the Tab3 content.

But after that incident, I seem to have no longer access to the Tab3 device from a (Windows) computer.

So far, I haven't been able to find how to recover from this, or a manual how to get an functioning Tab3 back.

Please help!

Hello y'all,

Today my phone ran out of battery so I plugged it back in only to find out after it booted that I have no service whatsoever. It detects SIM and IMEI is there too. I have no idea what happened. I'm on stock 9.0 February no root or modification.

Pls help

Not tested yet, but seems to be final that are rolling out for China OTA.

Instruction:

The prerequisite must be the official N9500CHC4CRL1 system

First unpack the N9500CHC4CRL1 five-piece bottom package with odin (is ignored by this bottom package)

Method 1: After brushing and rebooting, enter the official recovery double clear once

Unzip N9500 ADB one-click upgrade 9.0.zip

Put update.zip (no decompression required) into the N9500 ADB one-click upgrade 9.0 folder

Then select apply update from adb in the official recovery

Finally, connect the phone to the computer. Run the ADB One-Click Update 9.0 folder. Double-click to brush in .bat and wait for it to complete.

Method 2: If you have a MicroSD/TF card, you must be a stand-alone flash memory card. The SD card that the body flash memory is out of will not work. The official rec does not recognize it.

Copy the update.zip upgrade package to the card, restart the phone and select apply update from sd card, then select the upgrade package, follow the on-screen prompts, and then restart automatically.

Yes, but it has a lot of Chinese junk in it. Some items are not translated. It has most of languages, like English, German, Russian e.t.c.

Can be installed to Hong Kong version, but to roll it back you need to have a PIT file and then re-partition phone.

How's the phone performance with the new stock android 9 pie update?.

Some people reported battery performance degraded as compared to android 8 stock?.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayyan84:
The Performance is way better than oreo and also the UI is attractive. So far the battery timing is also satisfactory. Being beta, I am facing few issues. Like the live messegees are not working. The always on display sometimes is not popping up. Since it's Chinese beta, I can see some Chinese words here and there specially in the yellow pages directory, timer, samsung assistance etc. The camera performance I think is not appreciable comparing to oreo.

It's good to taste Pie but I would suggest to wait till official version if Note 8 is ur primary phone.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Haak333:
I see a lot of phones with notch these days...

I personally don't like the notch on its own but I do like the idea of masking it with a black bar that essentially creates a functional bezel. The problem is, every Android skin seems to have a different way of dealing with the notch. The Google Pixel doesn't want to utilise the sides and instead shifts everything down, notification bar included. Samsung's One UI does the same thing with the hole punch (and presumably with its upcoming notch midrangers). LG gives you the option to hide the notch but only on LG apps. And apparently Xiaomi's MIUI 10 update to Android Pie no longer gives you the option to hide the notch at all.

So how does the 6T fair? I know you can hide the notch and create a "functional bezel" but how consistent is the experience? Does it work across third party apps? How does it handle videos?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
Works very well for me. It doesn't bring down system icons, it just makes the notch area black and it works fine with all the third-party apps I've used.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
I use a black home screen. What notch?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Frankenscript:
I'm with tech_head. Notch? What notch? Oh, that one. I stopped seeing it after about 2 hours. Status bar stuff is up there to either side. Works for me. I really hated the idea of a notch but very quickly adapted.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
To start off, I'm not really a "conspiracy theorist" at all, but that doesn't mean that this world is free of conspiracies. I just wanted to know where everyone stands on the whole 5G technology and what you all think of it, be it positively or negatively. Are you excited? Are you worried? And why? I, honestly, don't know where I stand on this matter. Not gonna sound like an idiot and start running my mouth without a solid foundation of knowledge on the subject. Because I don't know a whole lot really. All I know is that 5G is so freaking fast that it'd change a lot of things. I know that it works on far higher frequencies (between 3o-300 GHz whereas 4G works on lower than 6GHz) to the point that all the carriers are going to have an antenna in every corner of our streets, light poles etc. And I could still be wrong. So, if you're a scientist (precisely a physicist or maybe an electrical engineer or any field that is close to this field) and actually know what you're talking about, I'd love to here your, based on scientific facts, opinion Does it really "fry brains"?? Or is that just nonsense? And if you're just the phone enthusiast average Joe (like myself), I'd also love to here your opinion. This whole thread has come out of curiosity, no more no less. I love science and technology and always like to discuss it with others. So, let's keep it civil and have fun stating our opinions and let's talk a little bit.

Thanks guys. Go head..... ?

Hey forum!

Hope you are all well? I have a major problem, my friends phone has been smashed up by her abusive ex :(, and all the evidence of abuse and photos of abuse & her life lines ect are on that phone and we need to recover them for the Police as evidence in the allegations/crime ect, the phone still works but the screen is in bad shape it has partial digitizer response but the screen flickers around making it hard to put the pin code in to unlock it, unfortunately USB debugging is not enabled and there is her pin (which she knows :p) I have seen some bits of info about that say you can force some things through adb? Could anyone help guide me to a solution for this? I don't mind paying for software if it works! Or I don't mind getting into adb and doing it myself with some guidance?

Any help is massively appreciated!

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lwps:
Yes I understood that, Hangouts and Snapchat I think don't use HDR, my theory is that there's a cracked solder joint on the main camera unit and with HDR turned on in the main camera app it is compensating for the lines.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riverbird69:
So....I was 'experimenting' with my rooted LG G3 running android 4.4.2 and I accidentally managed to make my Bluetooth unusable (greyed out) while using 'ROM Toolbox' App.

I accidentally made it a system app, and then used Titanium Backup Pro to convert it back to a user app, but it still remained greyed out. I then tried using ADB to turn it back on using the following from another post;

adb shell service call bluetooth_manager 6' (I've tried a few numeric variables but none seem to work),

then I tried;

adb shell

su

am start -a android.bluetooth.adapter.action.REQUEST_ENABLE

That didn't work either as I got this error 'app_process has text relocations. This is wasting memory' etc......I think this is because I have Xposed Framework installed also.

Next I tried sQlite,

sQlite3 settings.db

update global set value=1 where name='bluetooth_on';

Then I got the error..... no such table: global

I'm not a developer but I do enjoy messing around with these things, until it all goes wrong of course......I know I could un-root and see what happens, but I'd rather try and figure this out rather than go through the hassle of rooting again...Anyone have any ideas how to turn my Bluetooth back on? Thanks......

I did the same mistake to my TV. However, I was able to recover from such freeze by forcing the TV to start in safemode. As I remember, I plugged off the TV from the power source.

Hi all,

Anyone know of a good quality replacement battery for the Le Max2?

I recently cracked my screen, so now I'm considering replacing both screen and battery.

I charged it today from 0-100% with my battery gizmo reporting just over 2500mAh capacity left in the OEM battery.

So hopefully a decent battery will bring it back to life for another year of use.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Accessories] Neutralite:
85% of my battery is left in the battery.

So I can use it as 2600 mah.

It means there's a 15% loss in 1 year.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Accessories] Jaki1122:
Just go to Aliexpress or ebay.com and buy the cheapest you can find. With LeEco dead some spare parts are getting hard to find, like grey screens or camera glass (not the protectors).
[LeEco Le Max 2 Accessories] tminus3:
Just to report back; I bought one of the cheap 'original' 3100mAh batteries for my le max 2 on AliExpress. After installing it and giving it a few charges, I measured it at 2800mAh.

So not quite the advertised capacity, but more then the 2500mAh I had left in the 2 year old original.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Accessories] ivo_cajkovac:
What do you guys think, if I go for "original" 3100 mAh battery I guess I can get Like 2600-2700 real juice. Read the comments on Ali and if I buy extended version that is declared 4400 mAh , I will get real 3100 ...

Anyone bought some specific model recently and measured iz with accu?

Thanx in advance.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Accessories] Drollach Gûntar:
Hello guys,

Have you found any battery for le max 2 which has real 4000+ mAh capacity ? Because most of the batteries being sold are scam and only have ~3100 mAh capacities, instead of 4000+.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
When I pre-ordered the S8+ from Samsung it said "Will ship by April 20th" and it arrived on the 19th. I was probably in the first wave to pre-order the S8+, and I assume I was for the S10+ as well. So, depending on how early you pre-ordered, it may be a deliver by date or a ship by date.
