[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Crimson123:
So, this is after searching for around 7-8 hours for a solution. My poco f1's usb port is somehow broken. By broken, I mean it charges perfectly fine, but will not get recognized by any other device (tried 3 different pcs, both ryzen and intel).

About 4 months ago i bought my poco f1, and installed lineageOS as soon as i could. Had some hiccups, but in the end everything was fine.

About 3 days ago I ended up trying to switch to pixel experience rom, since people were enjoying that more than lineag. I ended up getting an error saying i needed firmware from MIUI 9.2.15 or something. Alright, I'll just flash miui and then flash pixel experience... right? Well, apparently this also overrides twrp recovery and makes it boot into xiaomi's useless miui recovery. This makes it so that you cant get back into twrp without a computer. Great, now I guess ill just connect it to my pc... annnd... nothing.

Enabling every usb debugging setting, changing the usb networking to file transfer, rebooting, factory resetting and repeating everything leads to a dead end. Tried 4 different usb cables with absolutely no results. Tried 3 different pcs, nothing. And after all this, the phone charges completely fine as if nothing is wrong. The device isnt rooted either, meaning i cant manually boot into twrp using their app.

My device's bootloader IS unlocked, leading to my only possible solution i can think of: achieving root somehow since the bootloader is unlocked and downloading the TWRP app and rebooting into twrp. Or i should just yeet this on ebay and get a new poco.

Help? :(
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Negi9:
Maybe your usb port is broken, but if you have root you can flash twrp using apps such as flashify. Won't be much use since usb might be broken. Try going to a service center nearby to get it fixed.

Try change ur port usb. Use port 2.0, not 3.0. Intel pc, not other.

Are you using the cable that comes out of the box ?

Some third party cables don't transfer data.

Hello there,

I am from India.

I have rooted phone with latest magisk.

I use paytm app often.

After rooting, paytm opens up unresponsive.

I have used magisk hide as well, but no solution.

Is there any fix?

Thanks in advance.

To unlock the 8125, do I need a cingular sim card to run the lokiwiz unlocker and get the unlock code? I bought a brand new phone but I don't have a cingular sim card. Help!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Myrddin Wyllt:
I believe so. You should be able to find a pal with a Cingular (AT&T will also work) SIM, though. Short of that, they do sell pay-as-you-go SIMs.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rkerk:
Thanks! I'll start asking around.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zabardast_1:
Nopes ! you don't require any particular SIM to get your phone SIM unlocked.lokiwiz will automatically SIM unlock the phone,regardless of any SIM in it.Thats why,after SIM unlock you can insert any SIM of any network .
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eastwood7780:
In Windows XP you can simply start ur phone without a sim and when it says insert one use the stylus to hit the start button then choose the today screen and when activesync asks for a connection cancel it to be a guest.

the first thing you have to do is downgrade to the button rom for ipl and spl 1.05 which is required to unlock the phone at all.

before downgrading you should hard reset your phone to make sure the flash takes effect properly.

to perform a hard reset you hold the com manager button and the voice button both on the top of each side and right below the ir sensor is the reset button which u will hit with the stylus as you hold both buttons then while still holding the buttons the screen will go black and ask you to hit send to reset.

then after flashing to the button rom open the explorer and copy over the enablerapi.cab to a folder u can find it on the phone. then find the file and open it to install.

now u want to extract the lokiwiz to ur c: drive for easy use then u go to the pc with a connection to activesync as a guest and open up ur dos command prompt.

type cd\ then hit enter then type lokiwiz and hit enter. you firt hit u and enter for sim unlock then when ur phone restarts get a guest connection and type lokiwiz in command promt then type c and hit enter after this your phone should be fully unlocked.

also you have to install wm5 before moving to wm6 otherwise your ipl and spl will not update and problems will ensue. the best way i find is to flash down to button rom then upgrade to tmobile 2.26 rom which is very stable and from there i end up with farias the real thing wm6 rom or tnt 1437 wm6 rom as its stable and runs smooth. this is all up to you and what you need to do with your phone based on what rom you run. most of everything you will need is in the unlocking guide.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eastwood7780:
if you get stuck in boot loader for any reason u can flash from there without any problem as long as your in windows xp. also if you get a flash screen that wont load into windows and it keeps restarting hit reset under the ir with ur stylus then hold the camera button to re enter boot loader. from there you can reload a rom you know works such as the button rom

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Curlypx:
Greetings android users! I am reaching out to XDA community for some advice on my new S10+ setup, configurations, and some do's and don'ts.

I have been a long time Apple user (since the first original iPhone), but lately the lack of innovation from Tim Cook has been pushing me away. Anyways, when Samsung announced the S10+ with One UI, I was hooked! I picked up my first android device on Friday and have been greatly enjoying the it!

Now, at this time, I have not installed any apps from Google Play store as I have been reading many different things that others are doing to remove Google and Samsung from the phone. I looked around on reddit and various forums for setup guides, what apps to remove/block, and recommendations that iPhone users should do when moving to android. However, I have not come across a guide/list with the various things people have done.

Lastly, I read that many android users have done one of two things. One, some folks do not use the Google Play store to install any apps to bypass Google's analytics. by installing all apps manually. In addition to this, folks are blocking anything google and Samsung related. Secondly, I read that some users are flashing their device and installing custom roms to completely remove anything related to google and Samsung and will install the apps manually.

Based on this information and coming from iPhone, what are your recommendations? Should I not use the Google Play store and install the apps manually? If so, where and how would I go about it? Should I just block Google and Samsung in general to prevent any invasion of privacy and from gaining analytics? Or, should I flash and use a custom rom?

Any advice you can provide would be really helpful! Thanks in advance for reading my post.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Danslides1:
I switch from back and forth from iOS and Android all the time. There are certain things you'll come to appreciate about each.

The good news for you is that the there isn't a huge difference in how android (ahem - specifically samung for the past couple years) performs in terms of fluidity and responsiveness. During the early days this was horrendous, and don't let any fanboys tell you different. With the S10, I find myself not having to play the disable/remove apps/features game like before (out of habit I did anyway lol). This means you can really just start enjoying things as is, without having to worry about the best performance. - so far at least.

WIth that said, if you're new to the platform, I'd start with the basics of getting familar with the OS and apps. If you ever run into a situation where you think "i don't like that way that works/feels/looks" figure out how to change it. That's the one of the best parts about android honestly. And since you found your way over to XDA, sometimes it can seem like a never ending game. It seems like the days of custom roms may be slowly coming to an end, but in a way it's a good thing because the phones are so good out of the box now.

Probably not what you wanted to hear, but it's the truth imo.

If you're looking on how to some ideas on where to start from there -

-Play with a different launcher (i love nova premium)

-Figure out which widgets do what you want - you can take this really far into customization if you look at different homescreen setups... the rabbit hole can go pretty deep

-Find the right app for certain things so you don't have to live with double or triple of the same thing (calendar/messaging/keyboard for example)

I wouldn't worry about much else for now. Keep reading the boards, and you'll figure out how things go. Back in the days we used to have to flash custom roms sometimes weekly to try and get good performing, stable devices with great battery life. Then it moved to disabling a bunch of **** we didn't use, and now it's fine so far as is. :)

Oh and while you can prevent some apps from collecting data about you, in the bigger picture, there's nothing you can do about it. Ask marketing people who are into big data, we are all already profiled. If you don't want data collected, you gotta disconnect, go move to the woods and live off the land.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Curlypx:
Thanks for the information. I find the OneUI very fluid and responsiveness - I also find the colors more vivid than my iPhone XS MAX. I remember when some of my friends had the older galaxy and pixels phones they would complain about how it slows down over time, while my iPhone would be running strong. However, I have encountered several issues with black screen and freezing on my iPhone XS Max.

The customization is really nice on the S10+. Honestly, it feels great to be able to make theme changes and different customization to my phone in order to make it more personal to me! That is one thing I was also "jealous" about and wished the iPhones had - everyone's phone looks the same!

Makes sense about the custom roms. Not having any knowledge about them I wasn't sure if it was the way to go. Based on what you're saying they are slowly coming to an end, so I guess I won't need to worry about it. ;)

You mentioned "Find the right app for certain things so you don't have to live with double or triple of the same thing (calendar/messaging/keyboard for example)". Do you have any app recommendations I could start with? Also, do you use the default google mail app, or is there a better one that I should use?

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Danslides1:
Here's stuff I'm playing with at the moment

Gcam (grab from the s10 themes and apps forum)

Gboard keyboard, I used to use swiftkey

I haven't decided on Textra or the Google messages app yet

Fluid navigation gestures

Goodlock (using the task switcher and multitasking app)

Other stuff I suggest to check out

Nova launcher prime

Zooper or KWGT widgets

I use chrome beta as my browser, but I love kiwi. Id switch to kiwi of it would sync with my chrome stuff

The rabbit hole is insanely deep. You can get lost in the apps available here on xda alone. Install a bunch and delete a bunch. The fun part is whenever you get board with your phone, enough time will have passed for new stuff to come out. Keeps it interesting.

Hey there, you might want to check my guide for power optimisation basics, I didn't go in depth with specific apps since it really depends on user requirements/tastes and on date.

If you have doubts about two similar apps but can't decide just google a "A Vs B Reddit", it's the fastest way to hear honest reviews that aren't bought.

For basic phone functions, prioritize Samsung apps over Google ones unless the function is strictly related to a specific Google service such as Drive, I find Samsung apps to be way more polished and seamless than Google ones.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trndstr:
Greetings!

Just wanted to ask whether if it's possible to flash the Global Firmware - "SM-G928G" as a means to debrand my "SM-G928L" S6 Edge Plus (LGU+ Variant).

The phone's carrier status had reached its end-of-contract to LGU+. It also accepts any Simcard inserted and is Carrier-Lock Free.

However, a multitude of questions suppress me from flashing the firmware, leaving me with the following inquiries:

Pre/Post-Flash Questions:

1. If I flash the Global Version on the Phone (India), will I still retain the no carrier-lock status?

2. Is it possible to flash from one firmware model to the other? (G928L > G928G).

3. Are there significant differences on the Global Version and the Carrier-specific Version that I currently have?

Here are some of the reasons as to why I want to debrand the phone:

1. Several Carrier/Modem Settings are inaccessible.

2. Several Phone Settings are inaccessible.

3. Firmware Storage Allocation is taking up all the space on my device.

Looking forward to your quick response. Thank you!

Hey guys,

Recently after flashing the latest AICP rom, my internal storage is no longer working!!! No matter what I did, I restored to back up, changed rom, format data or change data system file, nothing worked!!!

I cannot take any photo or screenshot or even download images due to limited storage eventhough I have 50 g worth of free space!!! I can only ever access anything through TWRP (that is a good sign, I think)!!!

Did some research, but was told that I need to qfil?! Can someone give me a simple and easy instruction to do that if it is what it takes to fix it? This is really the first time I ever heard of qfil!!! While I would say that I am comfortable with technology, this is reaally out there for me and I will be the first one to admit that I am a noob here!!!

Please help me out as I am really desperate and I really love this phone!!!

had this issue in my Lex727

for this u'll need an otg pen drive.

download latest twrp, & required rom

transfer them into pen drive

now boot into twrp and format storage via twrp itself(do not reboot yet)

update to the latest twrp/if u r on latest twrp u might wana change it and flash rom after that.

at last reboot ur device and voilaaaa ur internal storage shown as it is.

note: do not reboot until u are done with all of the steps above.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Nickie93:
Hi,

Thanks for the response! I think that I might have already done what you mentioned! I have formatted the storage (do you mean the format data in the wipe function?)

Is it the same thing as an otg pen drive if I sideload latest rom into the device to flash? Because that is what l have done!

Thanks!
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Vi7eta:
After you format internal storage through twrp( inwipe menu) its mendatory you flash latest/diffrent twrp. After that you may flash any rom and reboot once.

FHD will definitely help but I find vision quality to be a higher priority over half an hour or more of battery per full cycle, it's totally up to you.

Blue wallpapers will in theory drain more than any other colour, this Dynamic AMOLED's blue subpixel is much larger than the others, but you won't feel the difference unless you stay still on your home page for long periods of time.
