On the contrary you discovered a new clue,

Following your test, I replicated storing on root, and Gallery indeed shows the photos.

Basically Gallery is only cataloging photos from new folders on the SD Card.

This means clearing the Gallery app data and cache is not clearing everything as it's still able to selectively exclude folders it thinks must be excluded.

I don't have an issue - I am able to see all existing and new folders and or images that are on my EXT SD Card as well as those on the device. No issues at all that I Can see.

No sound in loudspeaker

Suddenly the loudspeaker in my Nokia 8 (in Android 9) has stopped working. There is no ringtone playing when receiving a call, or sound when playing media.

The internal speaker is working, and I do not remember anything happening to the phone in the last hours.

The volume up key raises the slider for the sound, I do not see any indicator of no volume anyplace.

I have tried rebooting, but not help.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] athanis:
For more information: the speaker works, if I reroute the sound from the headphones to the speaker with an app lie Earphones mode off.

And if I blow strongly in the headphones jack while playing music the speaker works.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Ovvc:
Did you manage to resolve this? I've exactly the same issue. Bottom speaker suddenly stopped working, when I blow air into the speaker I can hear sound.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8413550:
Do you have warranty? This device is pretty much dead so if you have warranty you can try getting it repaired
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] athanis:
No, I couldn't resolve the issue. If I redirect the sound from the headphones to the loudspeaker using some utilities, I got sound, but not ringing from calls.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Ovvc:
If anyone interested, I got mine back from warranty repair. They replaced whole loudspeaker module - part number S0S0923M000. Its working fine again

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I impulsively unlocked the boot-loader on my Mate 20 Pro last night because Funky Huawei was selling the codes for $20. Today I can't really think of a good reason I actually need the bootloader unlocked since I have no interest in rooting my phone and there are update methods for manually flashing firmware that don't require an unlocked bootloader. In fact, the tool posted on XDA for updating firmware with an unlocked bootloader apparently requires that you be rooted to use it.

Is there a way to relock the bootloader?

The only mention I could find in these threads was someone who said you need to factory reset the phone and then go back into fast-boot. I don't think the person who wrote that even tried it and that he was just making a generalization.

Does anyone know if there are actual steps that relock the bootloader without bricking the phone--which the e-recovery restore method might do since it will try to install an older firmware than is currently on my phone.

I might just keep it unlocked anyway but I was curious if there was a known relock method that works on this phone.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] jhs39:
dload method isn't working for me. I extracted the UPDATE.APP from the firmware version that is currently installed on my phone (using the update_full_base version), created a dload folder on my external card, copied the UPDATE.APP into that folder and then did the dial code and selected update from memory card. My phone reboots and then I get an error that says that the update failed.

Do I need to use the UPDATE.APP from a specific build to get this to work?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I installed firmware via the Funky Huawei method. It seems to have relocked the bootloader because the warning about the bootloader being unlocked doesn't come up when the phone boots but the data on my phone wasn't erased. Can the bootloader be relocked without erasing all the data on the phone? If so this is the first I've heard of it.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] ilos:
Go to fastboot mode and check if bootloader is locked again.

Hoping to find some assistance on here since the Samsung forums aren't much help.

A few people out here who (from what I gather) have the SM-G950U are experiencing issues with mobile data after the Pie update.

Personally I will see spotty LTE connection. If i put the phone in CDMA only mode i can get relatively stable 3g.

Tried wiping cache, resetting APN, soft reset, hard reset...

Since its the locked down bootloader version there aren't many good rom options out there that I have been able to find.

There are similar discussions over on Reddit and the Samsung forum, but I don't have link privileges yet so you will need to google if you want to see them.

Any help would be appreciated

Sprint S8 no network after Pie update

Yes, I had the same issue, I had to call Sprint using a different phone and they reset something over on their end and my phone went through some reconfiguration process and it worked after that. They were aware of the problem and had already notified Samsung of the issue. So just call Sprint (*2 from a Sprint phone) and you'll be back in business again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] treynolds75:
i tried talking to sprint over the phone, they had me do some ## codes to re-register the device with the network. That helped nothing really. They then said i would have to take it in to a store with a support desk.

I spoke with Samsung and they offered for me to send the device in. I created a ticket and i can ship them the phone, and they will repair it and ship it back. But that will take almost 2 weeks. (2 business days shipping, 5-7 business days for the repair and another 2 business days to get it back)

So i will go to the sprint store today and then if that gets me nowhere I will think about sending it in to Samsung.

[Magisk] ~mUT3y~:
Hi everyone,

i got a very annoying Problem with my S9;

It´s running on Resurrection-Remix-6.0 (8.1) rooted with Magisk.

The Problem is, that due to every reboot some Magisk Modules just disappear - Manager show´s them as installed but neither they are shown anywhere nor it´s possible to reinstall them through Manager or even through recovery.

The affected Modules are always Greenify and the Omni-Switch-Addon which is one of my favorites but sometimes other Modules are gone randomly -

The only possibility to bring them back is to restore an old Backup which is more than annoying...

Is there anyone who can help?

Thanks a lot...

I installed the diamond keyboard and it screwed up my autocomplete for the To field of a sms. Checked all the settings and everything and nothing, removed it and all is fine. I still like the HTC phone pad better.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrpiggae:
It's almost the exact opposite for me. When I use the "To:" field in a new SMS, I just type the first couple of letters of the persons name into the field and hit enter, and the keyboard offers up the names that match that in the auto-complete field. Working fantastic on my Hermes.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrpiggae:
It works fine on my Hermes, but scratch what I said above. It has totally disabled contact auto-complete from the hardware keyboard. In addition, I've tried to uninstall it three times and it just hangs at the screen where it's doing the uninstallation, with the spinning Windows thing, forever until I soft reset the phone. I'm thinking I may have to do a hard reset to get this thing off my phone.

Has anyone had trouble uninstalling this from their phone?

[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] sassyness77:
I've seen this brought up before other places but I've never seen an answer or a fix. My G6 starting quieting itself after playing a sound for a few seconds. It does this with ringtones, videos, alarms, everything that goes through the speaker. Headphones work fine, and the volume is at Max, even just changing the volumes in settings and it plays and example of the volume, it will quiet itself down within a few seconds however the slider stays at the maximum. I've had the phone for quite a while and it just started this a few weeks ago on oreo. I'm now on Android 9.0 but the issue is still there. Safemode doesn't help and if I do the Moto hardware test it plays at full volume without quieting down at all. Just wondering if anyone found a fix for this at all? Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Qui Peccavit:
Please excuse the naive question ...

... but how/where does one find the OTA files, i.e. the links to download them from, in order to keep a rooted device up-to-date?

Capturing the download link via the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) requires the OTA notifications to appear and the respective files to be downloaded, in order to then capture them via adb logcat > OTA.txt. Even if this did not require an unrooted device running an original manufacturer firmware (if we had this, we wouldn't need to go through all the hassle in the first place): it takes a looooong time for the logcat to create a loong file, in which searching for the download link resembles punishment for an amok shooter.

The reason why anybody would need the download links for OTA files is because they are on a custom ROM, have flashed TWRP, rooted their device or similar modifications. In that case, there are no more OTA notifications, i.e. one is not informed of what and when a bugfix or the like becomes available, and if trying to check for updates manually, the phone displays the following error message:

Failed to update software

Your phone's operating system has been modified in an unauthorised way. Try downloading ...

The first thing to note is the arrogance with which manufacturers and telephone operators seem to believe that they had any right to decide what is authorised and what not on our property. Unless somebody with deep pockets or the EU sue them over this impertinence, there is not much we ordinary mortals will be able to do against those oligopolists.

The burning practical question are therefore:

1.) How to get notified of minor updates, bugfixes and security patches like monthly updates when they become available?

2.) How and where to download them?

3.) How to install them?

The large firmware packages are no problem, those one can find at every corner of the street. The problem are the minor bugfixes, security patches and updates between major version numbers and sometimes even apps. Are there any proven methods that work reliably and that do neither require one to study electronics, programming and voodoo, nor force one to re-flash and re-root everything again from square one before every update, plus reinstalling and configuring everything thereafter?

In case the information is necessary, the phone is a SAMSUNG Galaxy Note 9 with Snapdragon SD-845 (SM-N9600), current firmware

BL : N9600ZHS1CSC2, AP : N9600ZHS1CSC2, CP : N9600ZCU1CSAB, CSC : N9600OWO1CSB1

In a nutshell, are there ways to become aware of and apply all updates while keeping the device rooted, or is the procedure more convoluted and repetitive after every update than what Root is worth?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Caffeineshock:
Hi folks. ill make it quick:

i have an issue with my note9 (960f) whenever i use a stock-based-rom. after the first boot there is no problem with root (magisk) or installing apps from the playstore. works as expected.

but after a while it takes up to an hour to install any app from the appstore (no issue installing apks or other stores). during this installation process the playstore stucks @ 1 or 99% and wont progress any further.

after a while the install is done, the playstore presents me all the apps that i can update. if i que several apps to install then they will be installed after the same amount of time spend waiting.

restarting phone, clearing cache of playstore and google play services does not help.

second problem is the root. after the first boot i can give any app root permission but after a while i get the error "su request rejected". everything i found on google does not help.

what i tried: clearing cache etc, reinstalling rom. unlocking bootloader (first time the playstore issue occurred on stock rom before unlocking and rooting), rooting, tried differend stock-based roms, uninstalling several samsung services like the galaxy store, different kernels, remount namespace. nothing helps

both issues do not occurre on aosp or similar roms, like lineage 16. no issue at all.

i hope anyone has an idea how to solve this.
