[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ace.1:
hi all

i have a uk model s8 on the o2 network which was originally locked to o2.

so i took it the local market to get it unlocked which the market trader did and it accepted another uk sim

but wont connect to any network now. states emergency calls only, even with my original o2 sim.

i cant even search for any networks. when you try to search for networks by choosing the phone option, nothing happens, just states not available at this time. same thing when you try to choose manual or automatic search.

it accepts any sim now but wont connect to any network.

i thought it may have been barred even though i bought it 2nd hand and had it over 8 months so i checked imei on the net and it comes up clean. so not barred.

he couldnt also understand why you cannot search network, why this option cannot be selected.

so i come on this forum for some help, and a member did help me and got it working by flashing something to it via remote team viewer but after a few hours it stopped catching a signal because i downloaded an app onto it to hide root which worked but caused the phone to loose the signal again. and then when i contacted the member, he refused to do it again.

i pleaded with him to flash again or do whatever he did but after days of waiting without a phone he was not available to help. so please can anyone help and tell me what he did so i can fix my phone.

i know from users on here, you can have root hiding apps running on an s8 and still be able to perfom the fix to the problem on my phone.

i know it has something to do with imei not being registered on phone and it showing a NG next to imei.

any help or guidance would be appreciated

regards,

Margaret acey

Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] IronRoo:
don't O2 unlock phones for you free of charge? That is how it used to be when I was last in UK.

I really wouldn't trust anyone to remotely download/fix phone, they could do all sorts, hopefully you got a good guy but the fact they won't do it again seems suss to me.

Have you done this,

https://www.technobezz.com/fix-samsung-galaxymobile-network-available/

I suggest you flash stock o2 rom and take it to O2 to unlock phone, this will" clean" your phone so if the helpull member installed anything he shouldn't have it'll be wiped. Also check white o2 if your data etc has being used by someone else ie cloned your phone. (but there may be some other issue as the trader couldn't search for a network)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ace.1:
Thsnks for the response.

Its not locked anymore. As it accepts all sims which it didn't anymore.

This has something to do with the imei not been registered.

The imei status is NG when it should be OK.
[General Questions and Answers] FreshHunt:
I use WhatsApp on an iPhone X. I have chat history and media backed up on my iCloud. The total size of the backup is around 6 GB.

I had to send in the iPhone X for repair, and I’m using a temporarily loaned iPhone 6.

I restored the WhatsApp chat history from iCloud, but the iPhone 6 is a 16 GB variant. I’m unable to restore the media onto this phone since “system files” are around 11 GB. If I turn off iCloud Drive, it goes down to 7 GB but with that turned off, I can’t backup/restore WhatsApp. The only thing enabled in iCloud Drive is WhatsApp so I don’t know why it’s consuming 4GB on the phone when I haven’t restored media.

Is WhatsApp backup cumulative?

If I skip the media restore, and continue backing up the chat history, will I be able to restore the entire chat history and media on my iPhone X when I get it back? Will the media part of the backup be erased from iCloud if I skip media restore and do a chat history backup on the temporary phone?

Everytime I switch on my phone, the keypad locks up. I have to press the "Unlock" menu on the bottom left of the screen and then hit unlock again. I find this to be annoying. Any way to get rid of this?

Thanks a million.

Go to START -> SETTINGS -> PERSONAL -> TODAY -> ITEMS and uncheck "Device Lock" I believe if you don't have it as an item on your today screen, it won't boot up. However, don't take my word for it 100% , I never had this problem.

I use S2U2 for a keyboard lock.. It's nice and pretty, and has some nice previews of upcoming appointments, etc, but it's pretty heavy on ram. But I haven't seen anything as quick to unlock.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] yesod7:
CSDEVCTRL by chrisstavrou is a great locking program. It is excellent for in-call locking and temporary unlocking during the call. It locks ALL buttons during a call, unlike many other lockers, so that when you're on a call and your phone is in your holster or pocket, it doesn't hang up by accident.

It has three different ways to unlock the screen: a tapping sequence, slide-to-unlock, and a button sequence. The slide and tap features can also be set to do up to four different things, such as slide-to-unlock, slide-to-hang-up, slide-to-open-speaker, slide-to-go-to-today.

It also offers many small bonuses, like a simple call blocker, bluetooth tweaks, backlight tweaks, and carrier name tweaks.;):):cool:

I didn't know this. Any chance there are some screenshots around?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] yesod7:
It's not like S2U2 in the sense that it doesn't have any sort of screen saver or visible skin. When I look at my phone, I see the same thing whether or not it is locked (I use SPB Mobile Shell 2.1, so I see the "Now" screen.)

Just go to the link I posted earlier, and you'll find all the info there!:);):eek:

1- There is no mention of the screen protection for any of the phone and that is one of the biggest factor users think of while buying a new phone. A mention of such things in the specification sheet will probably increase the sale. Earlier it used to be dragontrail but lately that also vanished. What kind of screen protection is used and how about using the Gorilla Glass for better protection?

2- Source code and Kernel sources are released very slow and even though they are released, there is not much use as development has almost stopped after decision to stop providing bootloader code and allowing users to unlock their phone. What is the future plan to open the bootloader code program again? as users are paying heavy amount to 3rd party websites, so if they can provide the codes by various means, why can't Huawei/Honor?

EMUI, like most other custom skins, feels very clunky and rich with gimmicky features. Is there any team that looks at the usage of these extra features and takes the call to remove them? Do you have any thresholds for what % of users should use a feature to call it useful?

Still waiting for a proper response about Bootloader unlocking and why is Honor still using EMUI (from Huawei) instead of opting for Android One or make OxygenOS like UI. Nobody wants to use EMUI bloat. It is crippling your phones. Read the articles on XDA for once!

Why are we getting bloatware in EMUI (or should I say "Euthanize My User Interface") ? When would bootloader unlocking option be enabled again and that too without needing a special code? Why can't Honor be like Oneplus and replace EMUI with something close to stock android like OxygenOS?

[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paul_Days:
I've always been a fan of Huawei products from its beginnings that it was introduced in Dominican Republic. I noticed early in that finally I was able to get good and modern technology for a price bracket that I was able to afford; not all of us can purchase a P20, Galaxy S9 or iPhone X, but what I liked: it is a quality product. If Huawei products which I know for a fact sell amazingly well, why not introduce Honor?

I've owned 2 Huawei phones which still I remember fondly. Then suddenly a couple years back I read about Honor in a magazine, yes, they still make magazines, and saw these more modern devices with a very appealing, if I may, sexy look to them, more organic, metal, more detailed, and with high-end features, that's when I transitioned to Honor. (Honor 7). Now I'm able to have a fast devices, premium materials (metal) and a easy to use fingerprint scanner? SOLD!

EMUI... Lol, I remember that it was not my favorite at first, I went contrary to the norm when it got to accessing the devices. No App drawer? Customization? Lags? Lol. In all honesty, a third-party launcher solved that. But today, MagicUI solved all those issues and it seems Honor listens to their customers. I happen to particularily enjoy the option to adjust the display temperature as well as the Eye Comfort modes. MagicUI is Intuitive, it gives the user so much information regarding HOW they use the phone and make it Personal to each user.

One feature I would love to see is perhaps a screen integrated which you could enable that would give you detailed information about your standard (personalized or customized) life events. For example If I swipe from the left, a screen, i dunno HonorLife where it would sum up not just how many messages I have pending in social media accounts and mail, but about how I slept, how much of my walking I completed, water intake, calories, along with weather and perhaps important dates (birthdays, etc) i use Honor Band 4 and opening that, then my water tracker, then checking other info, it would be nice to have that implemented in MagicUI, after all it follows all the other principles of MagicUI that I noticed.

Nevertheless, you guys are doing an outstanding job. In the near future I will definitely be looking into getting the new models, love how the screens have a thin bezels and the notches look good too.

Regards,

Paul
