[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] dragona:
This is driving me mad at night.

I press the power button to turn screen off. I also have phone set to sleep after two minutes. It stays off for approx two minutes, then the screen flashes on and stays on about 8 seconds, then screen goes off for two mins, and on, and repeat, all day and all bloody night long.

This happens whether the phone is on charge or not. Bluetooth off, just either wifi or data on.

I have it set to always on display so I have the clock on screen when off, I have tried turning this off but it still happens, any ideas?

I really REALLY do not want to wipe and start again.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] dragona:
SORTED. I had "allow notifications to turn screen on" turned on. Disabled that, and now no more flashing.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] adrenalynik:
Excuse me, when install tomtom dont recgnize the internal gps device, I setting gps NMEA, velocity trasmition 9600 and com4.

It work well, but is ok? or I must setting different?

Thanks

(Excuse me for my english!!!)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pinobigbird:
When you used the cab to install TomTom you will indeed need to use these settings. If you use the installer on the CD-Rom witch came with the device you can use the internal GPS.

No worries, it does the job, don't bother.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] lexi1986:
isn't the transmission 4800 ??
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] jontymisra:
Sometimes it picks up on 4800 and sometimes 9600. When it says "no gps device" change the baud rate to either of the two numbers.

If its at 4800--> change to 9600

It it's at 9600---> change to 4800
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] adrenalynik:
Thanks forthe support, rhe gps work at 9600 and very fast I had feare that the confinguration was mistaken!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] jontymisra:
No problem at all.

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone had confirmed the issue that unactivated T-Mobile prepaid cards that redirect to u.web2go.com are susceptible an exploit in which the regex isn't properly checked? Any website that is prefixed with that url (e.g. u.web2go.com.your own domain.tld) will be allowed? I've been unable to grab a prepaid SIM myself but it definitely would be interesting.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discuss] PGHammer:
I've already been bit - so you could well be next. With the latest patch (security update), T-Mobile has followed Verizon Wireless' lead and snuck in a firmware update - v9. This undoes root in v8, and doesn't let you root again (as there is no root for v8 firmware currently). Be very careful.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Postal Psycho:
Hi all. I've had this phone since 2017. Tried out a few different keyboards and stuck with swiftkey. I might have disabled the default xperia keyboard. This morning I decided to give the old keyboard another chance. As soon as I selected it, I had no keyboard, so I tried switching back to swiftkey, still no keyboard. I decided to reboot my phone and it still has no keyboard. I have it set to require password on boot but I cannot input without a keyboard. Guess I'm going to have to reflash firmware?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] HoiFung:
If you have already unlocked, try using twrp file management to move a keyboard software to the system
[Android General] xperia_bird:
I have found a way to unlock bootloader again! (if the normal fastboot command does not work for you!)

I had mine bootloader re-locked for some stupid reason. And my phone stayed at Lenovo logo, So no booting or flashing custom roms again. I had giving up the hope. But after searching on some Chinese website. I found a way and it WORKED! I have now again a unlocked bootloader.

The website is in Chinese but don't worry people you just need to fill in some small data.

1: go to the website : https://www.zui.com/iunlock

fill box 1 your IMEI 1

fill box 2 your SERIAL key (the key that you get when you connect to fastboot and use the command 'Fastboot Devices')

fill box 3 your email

fill box 4 the security code that you see to the right of it ( Four numbers )

check the last box, as accepting the rules for warranty blabla. And click the BLUE BIG button :P

Now wait and have patience! After a while you will get a email with a file in it. Download that file and put it in your adb folder.

now check your device first if its connected and that you see the serial.

- > Fastboot devices <-

If YES than continue...

Use the command :

Fastboot flash unlock (name_of_the_file).img

after that use command:

fastboot oem unlock-go

And your bootloader is UNLOCKED AGAIN !!! :highfive::good::laugh:

Phone is back to life :cool:

Disclaimer: sharing your imei

is not safe

, other people can easily duplicate it on other phones. Google: ''why you shouldn't share your imei''.

Use this as your last resort if your phone doesn't boot or is bricked. Use a fake imei, follow the process and once or phone is unlocked, update the imei using the link [MENTION=8022377]sth0r[/MENTION] created on xda to fix imei for the lenovo z5
[Android General] karanzxhao:
hi i tried to follow this guide to unlock bootloader but on the lenovo website it is asking for an 8 digit serial number but my lenovo z5 only has 7 digit serial number can you please help
[Android General] Techstro:
In this case the fastboot command is wrong.

You want to boot the phone up to the landing screen and enter ADB devices in your command prompt. Enter That.

You can also get the correct serial by opening the dialer app and entering *#06# in your touch phone pop-up keypad

Hope that helps!
[Android General] Kenak:
This was helpful, It worked for me. Thanks.
[Android General] a9REhdDp5V:
Guide outdated - this worked for me now

Phone: ZUK Z2 Plus (Z2131)

After having tried many times following this tutorial and never receiving any E-Mail, I found a rather simple solution that worked:

I didn't really expect it to work, so this is from memory, wordings may differ a bit.

First: make backup of your data!

Make sure you have updated ZUI to the latest available version.

Enable developer options ( From your device go to " About -> ZUI version" , scroll down and click " build number " continuously until you see "You are now a developer")

Go to developer Options and look for the toggle "Allow OEM Unlock" (or similar) and set it to enable. Confirm.

Reboot.

The phone automatically performs a factory reset (All Data lost!).

Now you can continue with flashing custom recovery (TWRP) and ROM.

For example use Lineage OS. Instructions: (Sorry, can't post the link)

Finally I can enjoy the phone with custom ROM and up-to-date Android 10.
[Android General] Spyrobuddy:
Is this why I can't see my device when it is in fast boot mode or boot loader mode?
[Android General] sandstranger:
You are liar.

This solution will not work, because bootloader still will be locked at this state
[Android General] Suriem:
Please complete the 8 digit with the number 0 , it works for me . But when my phone turn on I do not have IMEI . I need help with this.

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Daved+:
I made this Magisk Module for Oreo to see if I could reduce the lag

Check and share your results

PS: I'm going to push updates to the SSSB tg channel more likely than here

PS2: Someome mentioned me a module in the repo after I made this, I tried and it made my phone stuck at boot logo.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Daved+:
For those who are not into this, taken from RAM Truth:

Using swap increases your CPU usage, especially with zram where constant compression and decompression is going on (like using zip files on your PC), and is rarely beneficial on modern devices. Despite this, it's made a resurgence in the market.

Swap - A virtual memory scheme to increase your apparent total RAM. Unless you installed a modification to put this in storage, if you have swap you probably have a compressed block of RAM (called zram) acting as a virtual hard disk for this.

Users with rooted devices can very probably find kernel helpers or mods to let you change or turn off swap.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zinou213:
Just want to know the TG channel link, to stay up to date, thank you for the work it increase performances a bit .
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Daved+:

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jl10101:
Thanks for this - been running it for a week and all is good.

I wanted to check in for updates, but not sure where / what the SSSB Telegram channel is?

Anyway you could link a new version?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] baldybill:
Has this truly reduced lag?

I ask since there's mixed views online about disabling swap.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] alpha-niner64:
Thanks Daved+. Module does exactly what it was suppose to do. It saves me one less line in App2SD or Kernel Adiutor when disabling ZRAM.

For people reading. ZRAM is a compromise between increased multitasking and performance. The informations are clear as to how Swap partition works. It is up to you to decide what is more important to you.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] KUSOsan:
Depends on the firmware. Disabling swap made my H918 more snappy for sure on both Nougat and Oreo, but when I had my V30 disabling it actually made it worst. Definitely a try and see. Also Swap torpedo on the magisk repo does this same exact thing just FYI for people wanting to know.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] princedede:
Kernel auditor have this function too in Virtual memory. Thing is i don't know the right settings to use
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ezzony:
Ex Kernel manager has this function as well. I turned off zram which takes a few minutes, prolly a reboot would be quicker. Didn't observe any major change but I didn't test it exhaustively so turned it back on. I don't like changing things when I don't fully understand what's going on. I don't have any lag now anyway, nothing like it was when I used it in stock form anyway.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Darnrain1:
Thank you, It works well on my lgv20
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Brijendra12:
On other side rather disabling swap i want to know if decreasing swap size worthy if don't want to disable zram totally.

[Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Shady88:
This procedure might fix problem but will clear whole memory

1 Backup from twrp only "persist" image and save it elsewhere (if you wish to try to restore your system later, then backup EVERY PARTITION and also save everything that's on internal memory elsewhere, IT WILL BE DELETED WITH PROCEDURE)

2 Install from twrp as zip this file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/pjqui3toyxgr5c8/sensorfix.zip/file

3 flash from fastboot WITHOUT LOCKING BACK BOOTLOADER every single version, FROM OLDER TO NEWER, of these roms in THIS ORDER:

FROM OLDER TO NEWER china developer

FROM OLDER TO NEWER china stable

FROM OLDER TO NEWER global stable

4 when flashed the latest rom, check if everything works

5 if it does, you're good to go! If you wish to install a custom rom just do like you normally do, but remember:

DON'T EVER WIPE "PERSIST" IN TWRP NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN!!!

6 (optional) if you want to try to recover your old system, normally install the same exact version of the rom you had before with a clean flashing, and then from twrp wipe cache, dalvik, data, system and internal storage and recover data and system, copy the old internal storage files inside internal storage and reboot
[Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Kiki.G:
Hi !

Would this method and "sensorfix" file work on Mi6 with exact problem ?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Shady88:
I can't guarantee, but mi6 should have the same hardware sensors as mi note 3. Just try to find the persist backup of mi6 for safety. Anyway, if you backup the whole system, it shouldn't be a problem if it doesn't work, you just format everything included persist, restore whole system from backup and look out for another solution. Practically, persist partition is where drivers of sensors are stored, if you formatted before, once you format it you'll be in the same situation as now
[Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Kiki.G:
Thanks for reply !

Think tried most suggested solutions but havent done step by step upgrades. Might try that.

Last state the phone is I have recovered IMEI, baseband, wifi mac but its still "acting". Sometimes after reboot wifi mac is null, sometimes baseband is unknown, sim is detected but no network. Sometimes all seems to be ok but still no wifi and network.

Might try from here to do upgrades in order you mentioned

I'd like to find some software that lets you add your current GPS coordinates to your Outlook mail signature, anyone ever heard of something like this?

even if it's an alternate email program?

thanks :D
[General Topics] daleksic:
I know that people in europe have been using the data in SMS to extract GPS (actually Cellphone tower) position. There is somewhere a software I have seen a couple years ago but it didn't work for me in the past.

So, considering the above, it should be possible to extract the GPS position. If you know how to write the program it should be fairly simple. I used WiFiFoFum and it gives you the GPS Position numbers. Maybe you can extract it from that software as you can create an Excel File with GPS positions corresponding with WiFi spots.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Scott:
So, I am getting fustrated with this. Everytime I am on a call and use the fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone I ende up hanging up on the caller. Its almost a 100% sure thing. Yes, I know I can press the power button so that is one work around... But... Seems like crap to me.

If I am not on a call then the I might activate whatever app icon is on my homescreen in the area.

Is this happening to anyone else or do I just have a personal issue here?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] 338lm:
Rather than pressing and holding your finger until it unlocks, you need to get in the habit of only pressing your finger for a moment and lift it up. If you hold your finger on the screen too long then yes, what you're describing is going to happen.

My repaired phone got stolen today while in shipment from Samsung repair center.

UPS deliver to me and I get it from the driver. I didnt sign anything. I took the box inside the house to open it and its empty!

I call Samsung just now and they open me a ticket. But I have to call tomorrow as one of the their dept is closed.

My SIM card is not inside the phone.

Is the L2TP/IPSEC PSK VPN connection working for some of you?

I have tested two A50'S (A505W) and they both reboot 60 seconds after the connection is established. Latest update is February 1, 2020.

Connection is created and seems fully functional (as much as I can test in 60 seconds) until phone reboots.

I am connecting to a Ubiquity Edgerouter ER-6P. iThings and Windows 10 clients are connecting fine.

I have sent crash reports in to Samsung and communicated with support staff. I haven't been able to communicate with anyone able to say they use L2TP/IPSEC PSK connections successfully.

Seeing this thread gives me hope it can be made to work.
