[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Molvol:
My girlfriends S7 Edge was stolen in France and unbelievably she was contacted through the Embassy that it had been found!!! I couldn't believe it especially because the police was more than rude and didn't care at all at first.

Anyway, after an ordeal to get it back by mail without speaking french ourselves it is now here without the case. Plugging it in it came up in download mode. Rebooting brought the lockscreen back, but her pattern doesn't work and it's in French. However, there were still messages on the lockscreen, so I believe it may not have been wiped. But no idea why it is in french now and why the lock pattern doesn't work.

Apparently one can set a temporary password through device manager, but problem 1 both wifi as well as mobile data are disabled - I can't get to it through device manager. Problem 2 I can pull down quick settings, but cannot activate either wifi nor data. Problem 3 I thought you can always get to the backup PIN entering a few wrong pattern, but that doesn't work either - only the delays increase.

There is no recovery installed or root. I may have enabled debug mode and read I could delete pattern.key via adb, however am not there right now.

Any other ideas? I wonder who changed the phone to french and download mode. Could be the police (because they found GF and there was no name on the phone) or the thief. The SIM was missing, if the thief threw away the SIM the police must have accessed the phone.

Any other ideas? I absolutely don't want to go wipe just yet, but without the phone connecting to either wifi or data there is no hope through google. We can call it with the replacement SIM.

Any way to get out of the pattern and to enter the PIN? Doesn't a PIN always have to be set when a pattern is set?

Would adb deleting of the pattern file actually work?

Google how to bypass passwords you'll find help in d results
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Molvol:
Yeah, I did - had to do this recently restoring a TWRP backup when my pattern suddenly didn't work any more - even though I used the same pattern on the older version and thought I deleted everything. It must have stored this stuff outside the data, system or boot partitions.... weird.

Anyway unfortunately it looks like the thief got access and deleted everything, that's why it's in french. So the only way for the police to identify the owner must have been the IMEI - there is nothing left but creepy selfies of the thief - tons of them.

(phonearena tested the exynos models)

https://www.notebookcheck.com/Test-Samsung-Galaxy-S10-Smartphone.413912.0.html

use google translate and go to "battery life"

the exynos s10/s10+ seems to be worse than the galaxy s8/s8+ and s9/s9+

I personally haven't stressed my phone that much and I didn't notice major battery drains, but I'm now thinking of returning my exynos s10
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Intratech:
Just return it if you're not happy and get another phone that makes you happy.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] SwordOS:
I can get decent sots for now. I will try to stress my phone harder first and see how it goes, but those results seems wrong to me, it's not possible that an s8 lasts more than a s10+, what the hell is going on?

So you're saying that you're letting something on the internet make you doubt something you can demonstrate for yourself to not be the case? I'm confused.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] SwordOS:
Maybe It's because I'm not using my phone too much for now, maybe some day I will need more power and I will discover it's sh*t as it is in the benchmarks. I made this post hoping for an expert to explain me this huge difference that there is even between a regular s8 and a s10+ in their test with the exynos variant. The problem seems to be related to high power drain from the wifi module, as notebookcheck says, but it's only a supposition.

Exynos isn't under performing for me, it's excellent
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pepo187:
after 4 days of my S10+(Exynos) learning usage pattern I tried Medium Power Saving mode but I kept resolution on Max and I set brightness to no decrease but I guess in High Power Mode you get that +10% for brightness...even in Medium Mode the phone was still snapy fast and I was happy with that..I got 5.5 hour SOT till I was down to 20% on my battery...before I owned S9+ Exynos and I got maximum 4 hours SOT with same daily usage and when I switched to Medium Power phone was laggy..slow...and I didnt save much battery. Today Im going to test High Power mode and see if its really bad but for now...my advice to you is switch to Medium Power...Exynos is really powerfull CPU so you wont notice any big slow downs.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xRedDroidx:

I've had mine for about 3 months now and my screen is getting increasingly loose. Is anyone else having this issue?

thanks.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] thundaar2000:
Mine is loose also. Is there a way to tighten it up? There HAS to be a screw somewhere..... you would think....
[Mogul, XV6800 General] dfc849:
The screws obviously involve disassembling the phone, but it's worth a try. First, the four screws beneath the battery cover require a Torx T6 driver, I believe.After the back cover is removed, there are 4 Philips screws in the corners that need to be removed. Next, slightly lift up the motherboard and you should see the sliding mechanism and the screws keeping it together. Tighten then very SLIGHTLY or your phone may not slide very smoothly. This will VOID your warranty. I also believe the screws on the sliding mechanism were initially epoxied, so manually tightening them may cause it to loosen up quickly.
[Xposed General] nahojng:
Hi,

I'm trying to install Xposed on a Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) with LineageOS 14.1 + microG.

I installed https://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk as specified on the General info thread. When I go to the Framework section, the Install/Update button is disabled and I see the following message:

Xposed is not (yet) compatible with AndroidSDK version 25 or your processor architecture (arm64-v8a).

I tried to look it up and as I understand it Xposed is compatible with SDK25 and with arm64-v8a. What can I do?
[Xposed General] Ibuprophen:
Okay... It looks like you had experienced a bit of a common misunderstanding that many individuals experience because of a ton of information available that can potentially be a bit confusing (in on itself). I'll do what I can to help clarify this in general since I don't have your specific device.

1) Uninstall the XPosed Installer App that you currently have and Reboot.

2) Obtain the latest XPosed Framework from the following link and then flash it via TWRP.

http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk25/arm64/

3) Obtain the "XposedInstaller_3.1.5.apk" from/attached to the OP (at the bottom) of the following thread.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811

4) After flashing the XPosed Framework, reboot your device to install the XPosed Installer App.

5) Once the App is installed, launch it and you should be good to go.

Sometimes the App may initially state that XPosed is not active. This is usually remedied by a full Reboot or two.

Those are (an abridged) General instructions that applies to you.

I wish you the best of luck! :)

Thank you for warning about the required reboot. The app first claimed that my phone was not rooted but the reboot solved this.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers] dan.man:
Hello,

I installed weritos's Havoc OS and finger print was sometimes working on it. There was a kernel update on the thread which I flashed but didn't fix anything.

Now, on flashing any ROM (Treble or Non-Treble) no fingerprint sensor shows up in the security option. I've tried formatting every partition (except internal storage) and have tried several Pie ROM builds.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

bumping this thread, since i saw other users encountering the same issue.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers] santoshk22:
hey there,

you need to restore your persist partition, that will solve the issue.

Also, try re-flashing the firmware first, if doesn't work, then last option would be to restore persist.

I don't think fastboot stock miui would help but you can try as a last resort.

Even if it doesn't work, then you might have to flash stock rom via edm mode.

Hope it helps.

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------

Continuing further...

Even if my provided solution doesn't work, always take backup of all partitions in twrp and save it to PC.

Mishaps happen very often with custom roms.

I had same issues like you and I had great help with nandroid backup. It always works like charm.

Thanks me if it helps.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers] dan.man:
I flashed the latest global firmware just now. But no profit.

From where do I restore the persist partition so I don't lose my current ROM+Data?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers] santoshk22:
Persist partition will be available ONLY if you had taken a full nandroid backup via TWRP.

If you have any backup made before the problem occured, then just go to twrp and select restore, select only twrp and swipe to restore and reboot.

[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] panRajce:
Hi,

I have on Xiaomi Redmi 2 running Lineage 15.1 .... current version 20190302 ........ I have a minor problem, which I am not sure if it is the phone itself or ROM.

When I play Darkness Rises, if I play pure single, it runs smoothly. But as soon as I play online games (PvP, Coop, Brawl, ....) or I'm using online activities (Friends, Guld), I only have to do a few activities and the game will fall. Sometimes it throws a message about "feedback" but usually just kneels without any warning.

My question to you is if you think it could be ROM LineageOS and would pay off to try to flash back MIUI 8 ?????

LOS I originally installed to have Android 8 for playing Shadowguns: legends, I'm not playing it anymore, so I would have even a lower stable version specifically designed for this phone.

Hello, I tried to use a controller midi (an m-audio keyboard) with an otg adapter 'usb 3.1 to female usb 3.0' to play with synthesizers app, but it doesn't work. I tried to search something, i only find that the midi support isn't a Lineage's feature. There will be any way to use midi controller in Lineage?

For what i can understand to use midi controller i have to enable midi for usb host mode (CONFIG_SND_USB=y and CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=y). I'm not a developer so i have no idea how can i do that...I think it needs kernel build

Hi I recently upgraded my phone to a Huawei Mate 20x, most of my business contacts (using google acc) have a 'note field' attached to them, a suppliers acc number for example, or the type of items they supply, on my old phone, the Mate 10 Pro, Android version 8, this note would be displayed on the in call screen under the telephone number you are calling, so if I need that information I just glance at the screen, very easy, now for some reason on the Mate 20x with Android version 9 it does not show the note on the on the in call screen?

Was this feature taken away on android version 9?

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Mcha01:
Change rom and see??
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Darklouis:
If you are a heavy user (All the time gaming or watch YouTube videos) it is pretty normal. But if you don't believe that your SOT should be better than that, might you have to change some few things.

Try some custom kernels that focuses on battery improvements

Try underclocking your CPU and GPU using kernel tuners available on Play store (Of course, it will significantly improve battery life but sacrifices both CPU and GPU performance)

Try other rooted apps that eliminates other apps on Play Store (Greenify, Servicely, Amplify, etc.)

Lastly, compare each other custom roms which is which has better SOT

Just compare and contrast. Everybody has different usage on their phones, different roms, different kernels, mods, apps, etc.

As a heavy user, almost 4.5 hrs SOT is normal with highest brightness (I have Privacy tempered glass which is sucks) before 10% battery level

[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] GuestD0786:
On the Lenovo website, I have finally found source code for the kernel of the Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus. I downloaded the source, made defconfig, and enabled KVM in the kernel and then compiled. I got several errors which couldn't be fixed. I wondered if this was the cause of KVM, so I disabled KVM and tried again. Same errors. Strange that the archive containing the sources for the Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus is much larger than that of the Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus, which suggests that the Tab 4 8 Plus sources are not complete yet they both have the same SoC. Shame on Lenovo! This is the last time I get a product from them unless things improve. When I went to complain on the forums, I couldn't even start a thread, even though I had logged in and had verified my email, which is why I'm complaining here. They're also violating the GPL. The Tab 4 series were released in 2017 yet only in 2019 has Lenovo started releasing the kernel source code, clearly a GPL violation. I wanted to start learning ROM development and possibly port Android Pie to the Tab 4 8 Plus but because of this I can't. I love my Tab 4 8 Plus and my Ideapad 310 laptop but I think I'm done with Lenovo after this unless things improve.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] lukaspieper:
I completely agree with your opinion on Lenovo. However, cannot confirm the problem with their forum. Also, they would have published the kernel sources much sooner if someone had asked earlier - which doesn't excuse the fact that they should publish the kernels immediately on their own.

I asked for the kernel source for the 10 Plus and the 8 Plus and got both after a longer wait.

This isn't right. Text can be compressed very well. You have to compare the sources after unpacking, the code of the 8 Plus is compressed twice and therefore much smaller. At first view the kernel looks ok. But I didn't compile it, so you can still be right with your error messages, but the size of an archive is not an argument.

To compare two directories I use the tool Meld.

I started with rom development for the same reasons as you, only that I have the Tab4 10 Plus. I want to motivate you not to give up at this point. You have actually very good conditions to develop a working rom, because the Tab3 8 Plus has one or more device tree and kernel and you can use my work on the 10 Plus as well.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] GuestD0786:
Does the 10 Plus kernel work on the 8 Plus though?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] lukaspieper:
Not without adjustments.

The archive of the X704F contains build instructions from Lenovo and a working defconfig.

Compare the defconfig of the 10 Plus with your own. And as already said, compare the sources with Meld. I'm pretty sure you could get a working kernel out of it.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] GuestD0786:
Here's the actual error I get when compiling: https://pastebin.com/mJyei1Y9
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] lukaspieper:
Can you send me your defconfig please? I will look into it but probably not today.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] GuestD0786:
It's just called defconfig and is located in arch/arm64/configs. The MSM ones appear to be for the Snapdragon 430 and not the Snapdragon 625 the Tab 4 8 Plus uses.
