[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] shazx:
I'm having an issue getting my Mi 9 Transparent Edition to register on the T-Mobile US network.

Odd thing is that if I place the T-Mobile SIM in my old Nexus 6 for about a minute so that it can register on the network, then take the SIM and place it in my Mi 9, the Mi 9 does connect and works perfectly on the network, including VoLTE and VoWiFi (carrier checks have been disabled using the codes provided in this forum). At some point though (sometimes a few minutes, other times can be as long as a day), the SIM 'registration' expires and I lose my connection to the network. When this happens, I have no VoLTE or bars of any kind. If I happen to be on WiFi, VoWifi continues to work. Otherwise, I'm out of luck and have to repeat the SIM swap trick to get the Mi 9 going again. T-Mobile support says the problem is with my phone. I successfully used this phone on the AT&T network before they blocked it as a part of the 3G shutdown effort.

I'm on the Global ROM (Android 11) but have tried flashing a bunch of different ROMs with no difference in behavior. Anybody experience anything similar or can offer help in resolving this issue?

Thanks in advance!

I got a problem with my S2 but its forum is completely dead so I'd like to have a solution. Sorry for creating this thread, but I need help.

First of all, sorry but my English is pretty bad.

I have a S2 that I want to use it just occasionally (as businesses phone). It charged perfectly but sometimes it shows this 'error'

I've tried installing CM and Gapps but i can't from stock recovery, so I also tried to install TWRP from Odin but i get another error.

You guys know any solution or is completely dead?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oddbehreif:
You sure it's not just a bad battery? What's this other error you mentioned?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rubenmanga:
I think it's the battery, as you said because when I disconnect the phone from the charger and enter in Download mode it says immediately low battery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jayxiao171735:
I should say nowadays(2019) the 4G RAM is far more NOT enough. I have bought non-notch pixel3 and disappointed with the RAM management, the background only can hold 4-5 apps as the maximum amount and if exceed the apps will be killed automatically. Actually, I've used Stock Android system from nexus 1, I could never face the RAM issue before, I don't know that's because of the expanding of the apps or something, but Android Pie is really performance bad in this aspect. As I concerned this is such a big problem I returned the pixel3 to Google. Now I bought the pixel 2XL again, I think it could be better than p3 in RAM management, but I am wrong. The most significant problem is when you open the camera app and then switch to another app which you opened before, there is 90% possibility that the app could be killed such as play store and wechat. Thus I guess it is the fundamental issue caused by Android Pie. Today I heard my friend told me that the new update possibly solve this issue to some extent, I tried yet and the background situation is really getting better than before. When I open the camera and take pics for 3 min and then back to another app, this app will not be killed. What do you guys think of this update? What do you think of the RAM issue? Do you think 4G RAM is fair enough still or not? Let us discuss. Forgive my bad English grammar.

Yeah I now have tried that to but I dont´like the lag it creates - it feels even faster to type "a" and then press the "au" button untill the a changes to "å" or "ä" :) So I don´t like AE keyboard mapper that much :)
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] wave_sailor:
My wife went to scan her ticket at the airport TSA podium and the screen reader could not read it. She had a paper ticket fortunately, so that worked fine. I suspect the plastic scratch cover that came with the phone is the problem, but when I try to get my finger nail underneath the white corner, it doesn't budge. She's had it since November and I can see some dirt getting in along the edges, but it's not enough. Any hints?
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
If it has a white corner, that was supposed to be removed as soon as you opened it. I think that's a temporary shipping protector. Just keep picking at it
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] xfrobex:
I have left mine on, and have had it since November as well. I have had issues at some stores, Target specifically with it reading the online gift card barcodes. It is usually because of the brightness setting of the display that causes it to fail to read. If you still can't get the plastic off, check and make sure you have the brightness at the highest level. That's what has fixed it for me when I have the issue.

BTW, I have both the original plastic with the white tab in the bottom left corner, and a case with another plastic cover on it. The brightness setting is usually what causes it to fail to scan properly.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jjl5590:
Hi everyone,

Please forgive my ignorant post, it has been a very long time since I was here.

I've recently acquired an Xperia XZ1 Compact running Android 9 Pie 47.2.A.8.24. This phone has a stupid amount of bloatware and unnecessary apps that cannot be removed, so I was considering rooting it and then installing something like Titanium Backup, to remove all the rubbish.

After doing a bit of research, it seems rooting it can cause many problems, a big one being lack of or reduced camera functionality, among other things. This is a big issue and I don't want to dumb down the great specs of the phone. In the past I rooted phones with no consequences to functionality - it was only when custom ROMs were installed that problems started to occur.

So essentially my question is, how safe is it to root my XZ1C?

Cheers
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] vofferz:
Read this DRM backup/restore guide by j4nn: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-compact/development/devonly-exploits-temp-root-to-backup-t3795510

Read at least the first post CAREFULLY.

So basically you need to downgrade to an old firmware, backup the drm keys with j4nn's tools, unlock bootloader, restore the keys, update back to a new firmware with newflasher and install magisk to root (either via TWPR or with j4nn's modified kernel, which is prerooted via magisk: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-compact/development/rooted-kernel-hiding-bootloader-unlock-t3898711 ).

It might seem a lot to do but if you read the instructions, it's not hard. Just remember to back up the drm keys before unlocking bootloader. When you have the keys (TA-partition) backed up, you can restore them even if you make some mistake, but unlocking without backing them up will get them lost forever.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jjl5590:
Thanks for the helpful info, I'll give that post a read. I'm not great with 'technology', so if it's too complex I'll just have to put up with the bloatware.

Is the information in the post still valid given that it's almost a year out of date?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] vofferz:
The first post has been updated to contain all the newest information. That's why I don't recommend reading the whole thread, unless you want a historical study about the development of the process.

If it's just the bloatware you want to get rid of and don't need root access, you might be better off with disabling the apps. Some of them can't be disabled from settings, but you can do it via ADB. https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdroid666:
Ok so i bought a second nexus 6p from ebay , it was advertised as a new sealed in box device

when i got it it was immediately obvious something was wrong ,the packaging was hard plastic not the embossed cardboard packaging with the "P" stamped in it.

There was some glue on the battery cover and when i weighed the phone it weighed less than my original 6p.

I immediately proceeded to start a return with ebay

but i used the phone for a bit and it seemed to be working ok so i was thinking of just keeping it and asking for a discount but then a few weeks later i was driving and the phone slipped out of my coat pocket and slid in between the drivers seat and the center console.

The phone only fell like all of 6 inches had a TPU case on it ,i was listening to music and it was connected to the radio via bluetooth at the time.

As soon as the phone fell the music stopped ,i picked it up from between the seat and saw that it was off , i tried several times to power it on but it was completely unresponsive no matter how long i held down the power button for , the phone was just charged to 75% before i got in the car and this happened bout 5 minutes into my drive.

When i got home i plugged the phone into the charger and i noticed that upon connecting it to power it immediately showed the google logo and started to boot , but then it goes into bootloop.

If i leave it plugged in it just keeps on looping , as soon as i unplug it it goes off, black screen and i can not get it to do anything.

I never press the power button when i plug it in to the charger and it starts to boot automatically.

I never see the battery charging icon screen at all when i plug it in.

I got refunded for the phone and didn't have to send the device back.

So i am wondering if i should take it to ifixit and have them replace the battery but i am not sure what is causing this issue.

Could it be that the internal battery cable came disconnected when the phone fell(all of 6 inches)

would an internally disconnected battery cable cause this behavior ,( that is my theory anyways since the phone does not loop or do anything at all when not plugged in and when it is plugged in i see no battery charging screen) .

I am guessing that they did a ****ty job refurbishing this phone and cheaped out and used a smaller battery(hence the lighter weight discrepancy) , not only in capacity but also in dimensions and that they did not glue it in good so that when the phone fell the battery slid and shifted inside the phone and came disconnected from the cable internally.

This is only my guess and i do not want to spend $100 to find out if it is correct or not and pay ifixit to change the battery only to find out the phone is bootlooped.

So i am hoping someone here has some insight and can confirm what is going on .

Maybe someone who has changed these batteries before and who has tried connecting the phone to USB while the battery was removed?

Hello,

Today I disassembled my LG G4 to change the camera. I followed tutorials online and this is the second time I'm repairing this phone.

Previously I've repaired two other phones.

I disconnected all connectors (back and front cameras, display) removed the motherboard from the frame and put the new camera in.

After that I put the motherboard back and connected the things back. The device booted up fine but sadly the touch on the screen wasn't working.

Display worked fine, using a mouse and keyboard I even tested the new camera.

I disassembled and reassembled the device a few more times. The screen connector has no visible damage however the touch is not working no matter what.

I tried starting it without cameras connected, no change.

Any ideas? Am I missing something?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdembiske:
You can try cleaning all the internal connectors with 90% Isopropyl Alcohol but if that doesn't work and you're sure that all connectors are clean & solidly connected, you may have to replace the Touch Screen Digitizer (with frame) in order to solve.

Replacements aren't that expensive - google it for local supply or check out: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For...lgo_pvid=2fd011e4-25cc-4cd1-a57f-b7878b272ca7

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] WeWearFedoras:
Thanks! I have the Sprint LG V30 currently on the LS99822a version so that seems to be post-July patch which means I'll have to Frankenstein to the US998 first, downgrade, then root with the WTF method, then go back to LS998? Or am I missing something?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yes.

You are a Sprint customer? If so, just make sure you activate your LS998 on Sprint first -- if you haven't already -- before making any changes.

If you're not a Sprint customer, no need to go back to LS998 firmware. I bought two LS998 V30+ to convert and stay as US998 V30+ on AT&T.

Hi folks, the bottom 10% of the digitizer panel on my Joying JY-UL134N2 10.1 screen has failed, just the very bottom edge of the screen area has failed ie enough to cover the bottom line of the screen keyboard.

I "think" its an FYT unit.

Joying support will be no use and wont care about helping as it is out of warranty, all they will care to do is to try to sell me a complete new stereo.

Can anyone suggest a source for a replacement part? Seems a shame to scrap a good sofia 3gr unit just for this when I could give it to a friend otherwise.

Thanks, its similar (same soft buttons down left side) but not the same.

The Joying one has a near identical ribbon at the bottom but near the left end, its perfectly rectangular with rounded corners and the mic, power and reset pinholes are located differently. I should try to get a pic up.

Basically its this : https://www.amazon.ca/JOYING-Marshmallow-1024x600-Bluetooth-Navigation/dp/B01MTS75RS

Im sure a while back I saw some discussion on replacements of the same type but I cant find that info now.

Anyone find a solution to this? I have something similar, I have an 8" that has a crack in the screen. Much like original poster said Joying has no interest in finding a replacement, I figure while I am at it I would like to go up to the 10.1 cause I know my 8" and my 10.1" use the same connector and mount. But I am surprised how hard it is to find a replacement screen, would really appreciate any input
[Android Head-Units] bonisaw:
Sorry to necro this again.

I asked Joying about their digitizer, they just told me I'm SOL. No replacements anymore. "Your unit is old".

I had a digitizer with ~20% bottom portion not working, I "fixed" it by using wm overscan etc etc. Got tired of that and bought a new digitizer with the same chip. Surprise, surprise, it doesn't work. (Bought from Temu)

I bought another one, even asked the seller this time if it's the same as Joying had. He confirmed it and told me to go ahead and buy it. Surprise, surprise. It doesn't work either! I'm yet to contact the seller again because of the language barrier (Bought from Ali).

In both cases the hardware does not detect the digitizer at all. I've tested putting my old digitizer back and it's recognized as an input device "goodix-ts". I saw a post here though where it's mentioned that some vendors play tricks on us by changing pin orders so we can't use third-party digitizers.

I'm yet to find a solution to this. I've been using a mouse in my car because all the fidgeting with my old digitizer made me break the connector completely while playing with it, so now I have no digitizer.

Not sure if anyone found the solution to this.

Hi all

I'm having a bit of a clear out and thought I'd list this item here, before sticking it on ebay at the end of the week.

I bought the Exec from O2 a couple of years ago and it still works perfectly. Because it's on O2, I think I'm right in saying that it's not locked to any specific provider, but I've not checked that myself. It's in great condition, and I always used a screen protector from day one. The only slight niggle with it is that one of the little rubber stopper feet fell out and I never got around to replacing it. I still have all of the packaging (including what must be the nicest cardboard box I've ever encountered with a product! :) )

If anyone wants any more information, or to make me a serious offer, then drop me a PM.
