[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] mchlbenner:
If his oem is showing and if he marks it and follow the directions he will be fine I have been rooted since day one of having it.

I never got locked out.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
ill never trade my SPay on my watch for root
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Amirk365:
Thanks for the advice,but this isn't my first rodeo with Samsung lol. I messed around with the Verizon S5 alot and was lucky to have the version able to unlock it's bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
np, the G900V was a major disappointment with its locked bootloader. i recall spending several hours bricking one and having to restore it with the stock tar.img file. total PITA
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] mchlbenner:
Will you stop telling people that you will mess up phone if you try to root it.

If people follow directions they have nothing to worry about.

You where bootloop not bricked a brick device is usually a unfix able.

If is fine you what to keep Sam pay but your info you are telling is wrong.

I recently unroot my phone guess what Sam pay work fine.

Then root phone again no lock out and enable treble and flashed gsi image.

So their nothing wrong with rooting if you want to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
dude, i dont think youre reading what im saying right. Ive never said that rooting your phone will mess it up. the stuff about the G900V is a DIFFERENT PHONE. FFS. This isnt my first rodeo rooting and modding. Hell, i even was writing mods back in the Evo and S3 days. Im refamiliarizing myself with some of this, but i havent ever said youd mess your phone up if you follow the root instructions. Ill even go as far as saying as long as you dont Odin flash the tar.img for a completely different phone, these things are virtually impossible to hard brick. And yes, a bootloop is referred to as a soft brick. But, it is important to know that if you do root your phone, it WILL make samsung health not work as it did when stock and there is NO WAY of bringing it back without swapping the motherboard
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Amirk365:
Unlocking the bootloader was completely dependent on the type of EMMC chip that the G900V that you had was using. I got three of those and only one was able to unlock after the Marshmallow update.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
the last tinkering i did with the G900V was several years ago and that was at the point when all hope was lost on the locked bootloader. I havent looked into it since as the G900's i had were G900P's which were FAR easier to work with. I did also root and ROM a couple G900VL's, but again was years ago
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Amirk365:
Good times. Anyways I'm not rooting for now. Waiting for Pie and see how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
good times, yeah LOL!!! major waste of time on those friggin G900V's is more like it :D yeah, i wouldnt root yet, keep the stock recovery so it automagically updates to pie in a few weeks and manually check for updates every so often to force its hand. Also sammobile.com posts them too if you want to force it on via Odin and trip knox. Anyways, if you get the update in the near future, let us know!
[Nubia Red Magic Mars Questions & Answers] revoke:
The Nubia Red Magic Mars Global Edition arrived with the November 1, 2018 Android security patch level. Current patch level is December 2018. There have been no new security patches since.

Current Red Magic Mars build and security patch levels (as of March 2019):

If you notice a change to your patch level, what Android security patch version are you on now?

(Note: this thread is designed to record when or if Nubia pushes an update. Post only if your Red Magic Mars patch level is updated.)
[Nubia Red Magic Mars Questions & Answers] Deezi74:
I'm on November 1 2018
[Nubia Red Magic Mars Questions & Answers] revoke:
Maybe I was incorrect. I thought it launched with December. I'll update the parent.

Note: I do not have the phone yet. I am just watching and hoping Nubia does security updates. My current Nubia is a Z11 mini, and that little phone never received a single OS or security update. I had to go a 3rd Party ROM to get updates (and a better OS experience for that matter). I'm in need of a new phone, and have narrowed it down to the Red Magic Mars and few others. I like that it comes with a relatively clean/stock OS. That should make it easier to do monthly or quarterly updates than a heavily skinned OS (ex. Nubia UI). The lack of past support from Nubia keeps me from pushing the "Add to cart" button.

[Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
I came over here to check on the bootloader status for international devices. Cant find any positive confirmation but it appears like it's going to be the idiotic 7 day wait thing, not doing that again. Ever. This one isn't too pocketable by the looks of it. Realistically I'm probably going to have to wait for OnePlus or a Pixel foldable to come out before I've got a properly unlocked folding device. Thats some heavy sigh material there because I haven't felt serious lust for the new phones coming out lately but this one has most def got my attention. :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammondegs:
Hello all,

I own an S6 Edge G925I zeroltedv.

Every custom rom I try has a severe echo experienced by anyone that phones me or when I phone them.

Does anyone out there have a G925I with a custom rom that doesn't echo?

I have tried lineage 14.1 and 16.1 and a couple of oreo ports from elsewhere, and the official pie version of resurrection remix specific to the zeroltexx and zerltecan released Jan 2019.

I know I am not alone here, as others report the same issue in various forums here and elsewhere. I have read most of the threads where this issue appears and have tried their solutions, yet the echo continues.

Any ideas?... Anybody?

Or am I destined to the eternal servitude of my debloated 7.0 nougat overlord?

UPDATE

I have been reading a lot more on this echo problem with custom roms on the S6 edge and none of the solutions work for me apart from using earphones on one occasion.

I find this disappointing. Particularly when most of the threads end with the developer going quiet about this subject, yet answer other questions not related to this echo problem.

I do appreciate all efforts made by anyone offering their work for free and/or a handful of shirt buttons, yet I am pulling my hair out to find the definitive answer to this dam echo.

Why do some have success with other S6 edge models when myself and others don't?

I follow the instructions to the letter. Everything works fine after install, even openGapps installs seamlessly. Never any crashes, boot loops or soft bricking. Every thing works, including fingerprint, camera... I can't fault their performance.

Yet there's this confounded echo at the other party's end during a phone call.

Surely there is some bright spark out there with a solution to this that actually works.

Why does my stock rom have no echo? Is it because of something proprietary?

:eek:
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] FilthyFord:
I just ordered the new Pixel 3 and it will be coming in the next few days, I'll be giving this Pixel 2 to my son and want to reset it and lock the bootloader back. I know how to reset the phone, but for locking the bootloader back do I just go into developer options and lock it there and that's it? I've never locked one back. Lol.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] jd1639:
First, absolutely MAKE SURE you're 100% stock. Flash the complete factory image using the flash all batch file with the -w in it intact. This will wipe the device. Make sure it boots and there are no issues. Note, that after flashing the flash all batch file you'll need to set up the phone from scratch. You can bypass that process when you first boot. If it boots ok then you'll want to boot back into the bootloader and run the command

fastboot oem lock

This will wipe the device again.

If you are not 100% stock and you run into problems with a locked bootloader your device will be rendered pretty much useless.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] FilthyFord:
Thank you for the info. I will go through these steps once I get the new phone.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] FilthyFord:
I just got around to relocking the bootloader and just wanted to say that your method worked flawlessly encase anyone was wondering. Thank you again for the help.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] galileogarin:
Hey there, :)

I just wanna know if i unlock my bootloader (only unlocking) can i still get OTA and install it without problems?

Thanks in advanced
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] IkkeZelf1000:
Yes you can.

I unlocked my bootloader when I first got the device and received all OTA updates without problems. The only time you notice it is when rebooting: there will be a message that your device is unlocked.

But an unlocked bootloader means that some apps (such as Netflix) cannot be installed, and some banking apps won't work.

Which is why I re-locked mine.

What I would have liked though, is a warning that this would also wipe the device. I thought i'd get a confirmation dialog but the "fastboot oem lock" command just proceeds with the wipe, no "are you sure?" is given.

Can use any custom rom.
[Shift General] herpi:
As I loose that much per hour, I was wondering if that is abnormal.

I hard a n d softreset WM, have no SIM card in, just do NOT use WM.

Vista is fully switched off.

Pls tell me if that is normal and, if not, what to do .

Still interested in that miracle tool to switch WM off fully. I do not use it.

Huib
[Shift General] foxmeister:
Yes it is abnormal! My Shift still has 92% battery life after 36+ hours (Radio off, WM sleeping, Vista off). I don't even get anywhere near 2% per hour with Vista booted but sleeping (more like 1%).

As I said before in your last thread on this subject, I think there is a specific problem with you device - I get about 2 hours from my Shift when Vista is awake, so I don't think my device is "special".

Regards,

Dave
[Shift General] Sangheili:
Sleeping? Or Hibernated? If you only drain 1% per hour in sleep maybe i will extend the time-to-hibernate in my profile to a few hours. Waking up from hibernate is fast - waiting for all the applications to get back to "normal" speed however takes like 3 minutes. So freakin annoying. Anyone else have this problem?
[Shift General] herpi:
Neither sleeping, nor Hibernating Vista. Switched off! But WM of course.....

-------------

So:

My Vista is fully switched off.

I would be happy if I could get more statistics from your guys.

Pls switch Vista off on a fully loaded Shift.

Put it next to the bed, and see in the morning ( Lets say 8 hours) if it has more or less then, lets say, 85% power left.

-------------

Of course, as told so many times, when I take out the battery and put it back, there is no powerdrain at all ,because WM has not been started in that case.

Huib
[Shift General] herpi:
Hello again Dave,

You are right, but I was wondering if I was the only one, that's why this new thread.

Can you tell me how you set WM to sleep?

I have of course this "turned off if not used for 1 minute"

Shall I switch flight mode ON in the shagctrl? So turning off also my WIFI?

Coudl WIFI be the killer? Even when Vista is fully off? Did not try that yet, but I certainly will now.

And... How do I switch WIFI off, when not in Vista as as there is no Shagctrl.

Huib
[Shift General] Blue_Lightning:
well your problem seems like my problem

I have the same problem like your shift

my battery also drain about 1-2% per hour even without using it (I leave it at my side when I sleep)

Up until now, I still don't get the reason why this happening

Because, when I first time got the device, it was last longer than that, I saw it just maybe drain up to 15% for 2 and a half days
[Shift General] Blue_Lightning:
I also and always turning off my wifi when I hibernate the vista

and I also still have that 2% for 1 hour problem
[Shift General] herpi:
Yep,

Till now only Dave does not have this problem.

I just tested with WIFI off, and same problem. There is no realation and should not be.

Especially when flying it is a problem, because then I really am without juice. I bought an extra battery however, but still.

So I (sigh) take the battery off and put it back quickly. That solves it

Huib
[Shift General] Blue_Lightning:
yes and I think right now the snapvue can't take the wifi out to work, so it doesn't have a chance to reduce the battery

Well, if you said only Dave, I think, mine at the first time doesn't have this problem

At the first time the shift was at my hand :), it can last for maybe 4days without using it

Strange isn't it :)
[Shift General] Lyvia:
Hmm. @Herpi.

In this Thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=389487

i found out:

Are your really sure a softreset after shutting down vista, do not help ?

Bye,

Lyvia
[Shift General] herpi:
How do I softreset after closing Vista?

Huib
[Shift General] Lyvia:
You must liberate your Shift to unlock SnapVue to real WindowsMobile6.

Guide:

http://www.modaco.com/content/windows-mobile-news/266537/liberate-your-htc-shift/

Then you have a "soft reset" programm, but your can use other applications, like taskmanagers (e.g. WK-Task | http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html ) too.
[Shift General] foxmeister:
Well, when I say sleeping - I really mean "not active". Assuming Vista is asleep or shutdown, when I've finished with WM, I press the "shift" button to switch it back to my inactive vista session.

Interesting idea - perhaps if Wifi is on, it remains powered up even if Vista has been shut down.

Unfortunately, at present, you can only switch if on and off via Vista.

Regards,

Dave
[Shift General] foxmeister:
Sleeping - I found that hibernating doesn't really give me any speed benefits over a cold boot.

Regards,

Dave
[Shift General] foxmeister:
Just an FYI, but I've not used my Shift at all since my first posting on this thread, which is now some 50 hours ago. In that time, the battery on my Shift has dropped a further 12%, so I'm now at 80% capacity. This means in the last 86+ hours, my Shift has only consumed 20% of its battery power.

Regards,

Dave
[Shift General] herpi:
yes, but as far as I can see you are the only one on this forum.

So here comes my call again: anybody else, somewhere on this world ,has this perfect battery consumption as Dave has?

Huib
[Shift General] Pantaloonie:
Yes, my battery consumption is very similar to Daves, I don't seem to be leaking power when not in use. Vista hibernated, Windows Mobile checking 2 email accounts every 15 mins from 7am this morning until now, (5.20 pm), battery now on 92%.

Left unused, with the modem turned off but winmo running, it drops around 6-8% in 24 hours.
[Shift General] Blue_Lightning:
Well, that's supposed to be. When I got the shift for the first time, it was like that

But I don't know what make it like this now, eventhough I checked at battery meter, it just charge -43. Why it become so power hungry then ???
[Shift General] Pantaloonie:
I haven't installed SP1, and don't plan to do so any time soon.

Don't know if that's relevant.
[Shift General] Blue_Lightning:
I don't know if that's the cause

But I've already installed SP1 and before that I think maybe you're right now

GENIUS ........!!!!!!!!!!!

well, maybe another shift user out there ??? who installed SP1 and still don't have the battery problem, please post just to make me sure that I will do the right thing to uninstall SP1
[Shift General] herpi:
Mine has this battery leak from the very first day.

I do not have a SIM card in, maybe that's is the reason?

Huib
[Shift General] Blue_Lightning:
Well, now that I've tried hard reset the vista side and didn't install SP1, I think SP1 wasn't the cause to the battery leak
[Shift General] foxmeister:
I would certainly suggest that it is worth a try! FYI, I'm now at 41% after nearly a week of not using the device. I'll charge it up and pull the SIM out and see if affects battery life.

Regards,

Dave
[Shift General] cmonex:
I get the leak, it used to be fine, but been getting it for a while now.

that's very good because that means I can debug the issue :)

sorry, I've yet to test my app idea, been on holiday.

BTW, I never installed SP1, I have a SIM in (but no valid APN entered so no data connection!), I have flashed a new rom to WM (though I don't remember if I had the leak prior to flash) and hard reset it several times for different reasons (testing other stuff) etc.

sometimes have wifi on, sometimes not. used to have SD, which was well before getting the leak, but lost the card (to be more precise switch broke in write protected mode), haven't had time to get another SD in its place. I've never ever turned bluetooth on.

I sometimes put vista to sleep, and sometimes hibernate, makes no big difference. btw hibernate is a lot better than total shut down, faster and you can go from where you left it last time - note, I never shut vista down
[Shift General] Blue_Lightning:
Right, my problem seems persist with cmonex's.

I used to be no problem with the leak, it used to be can last for a week

But now it was like that

I've tried the vista hard reset and snapvue hard reset

and I've tried not installing SP1, and I also tried installing SP1

Seems no different for my device with that configuration

Don't know if the SIM card present affect it, But all the time I always use my sim card, never get it off for me

And I've tried shut down the modem in snapvue, so no data connection there, and the problem still there

And about SD Card, never use it, not until snapvue can detect it :)

Hmm.... Strangee......
[Shift General] foxmeister:
Ok, so four hours after taking the Shift off charge and removing the SIM card, I'm down to 98% battery power with WM sleeping and Vista off. So, it doesn't seem like the lack of a SIM card has anything to do with it.

Regards,

Dave
[Shift General] herpi:
hmmm... 2% in 4 hours is still nice. I am at 1.7% /hour!

Huib
[Shift General] firedup:
I'm not sure I understand this thread....would'nt you expect the battery to deplete 1-2% per hour anyway with VISTA off...isnt Snapvue always on? So 1% per hour is 100 hours? 4 days? How long should it last for?:confused:
[Shift General] herpi:
I understand your irritation. It looks exagerated, but it is far from this:

It costs 2% per hour. For something I do not use at all. So I leave my house for the airport and arriving there after 5 hours I mostly have 88% left before I can use it after take off. Then I start up Vista , which seems to take for ever and I loose another 3%.

When looking to a film the Shift lives for max one and a half hour.

Hot swapping the battery is impossible. After hibernate I loose my SD card, so I always have to do a complete shutdown-and-restart for using my second battery.

When I take out/put back the battery however the power consumption is near zero. So that helps.

But if I could switch off Snapvue for ever then it would be solved.

I do not use it at all. So removing for ever is OK to me.
