I'am looking for a black front cover replacement for the Qtek 8500, because I got a pink one but want to change color. Where can I get this part. Couldn't find anything with google!

look on ebay, you can find used phones with broken charging ports for sale for parts.

Some kids apparently use for example black fingernail polish and then a clearcoat on top..I just purchased a cheap boxwave skin for my recently purchased cheap pink phone. ;P

$0.99 + about $4.50 in shipping...

Coloring in the Pink

I used a black permanent marker but it didn't work out too good.

It's starting to wear off and bits of the pink is showing through.

Anyone else have experiences painting the covers?
[HTC Startrek] famewolf:
Thats the purpose of the clearcoat on top to prevent the ink running off...you could probably reapply the marker and then clear fingernail polish and see how it goes. Heck...the clear stuff they put on top of the fingernail polish may have a different name for all I know...I just know a friends kid painted her phone and when I asked he said it was fingernail polish.

I do know that people in one phone section used clear nail polish around where the stylus goes in and out to prevent the manufacturers paint from wearing off.

Hey everyone

I have a fossil Gen 4 and having some issues. Regular google assistant seems to work but when I go to reply via voice on a text (using Google messages app) I tap the mix icon to reply and it tries to open but then immediately closes and goes back to the previous screen.

Anyone else have this issue or know how to resolve?

I'm in the process of doing a factory reset on the watch.

Previously I have tried clearing cache for messages, google. I tried uninstalling messages. Making sure all permissions are set correctly. I even rolled google back and nothing.

Anyone else encounter this?
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_86:

Factory reset on the watch did not make any difference. Still doing it

[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_86:
Using chrome beta I have no mic there for voice to travel to a Web page
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dersie:
No, phone use is just to ensure all is right for internet connection. You must use your normal voice reply on watch but after you are sure that phone is connected to internet at this time.

Like I said assistant works fine on the watch. If I swipe to open assistant it will detect my voice just fine.

Edit: Go to Play Store, swipe down, choose my applications option, Google...
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celsian:
Just want to chime in and say I have the same problem. Removing the update for the Google app by selecting uninstall through Google Play worked.

Unfortunately, I'm also unable to setup Google Pay on my watch. After opening Google Pay I tap "Set it up," it spins saying, "Getting your cards" then fails with "Something went wrong please try again." Works just fine on the phone app, any suggestions for the watch?

This latest update is a real doozy!
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dersie:
Now I have also this issue in my LG-W7 and Ticwatch Pro.

Solution is effectively to remove update for the "Google app". And like we have no option to remove update, we must uninstall the "Google App". "Google" is a System app, so uninstall do not uninstall but remove all update and now Voice command works again (and bonus it seem that battery life is better now..... ) ;)

[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Logs would be good (no mind readers here :p), but testing on the current Canary debug release (currently 19004) first is a good idea (might have been fixed upstream already).
[Magisk] clcombs262:
How would you like me to take logs?!?

It bootloops on the unlocked bootloader screen
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
There are several kinds of logs that might show something (did you check the link?)...

But, that's actually secondary to trying the Canary build.
[Magisk] clcombs262:
Did end up trying the Canary build, still bootloops

The instructions wouldn't work - the post-fs-data folder didn't exist and /data seems to never get mounted. As I said, it never even got to my boot logo

I've switched back to stock now anyhow. I'll be happy to know if there is a solution to this. I love resurrection remix, but I love magisk more

I attempted to uninstall magisk through the magisk manager, but now my phone is stuck in a bootloop, booting either to huawei erecovery, or TWRP if I want it to. Attempting to reinstall magisk gives an "!unable to unpack boot image", so nothing happens. I would like to preserve my data, which is why I am not using the huawei erecovery.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] pchetan2:
So , today , 3 days after posting ad on OLX India , I sold my OnePlus 5 (6gb model). I used the mobile for 1.5 years and had good experience with the device.

I loved batter life and smoothness of Oxygen os and dev support on XDA but could not stand the bulkiness and design of device when compared to current day designs. I had used Sony Xperia Z3 before and still think it was way better device than OnePlus 5 especially interms of design and usage and even as a complete package (Stereo speakers, multimedia apps, Water proofing etc..) . Some how I could not like what Oneplus offers. Oxygen OS is great but it is just bland and very minimalist. Last few weeks, I was using CRDroid rom and had fun. But I feel we get what we pay for and with OnePlus we get basic but high end feature at a reasonable price

My device has paint quality issues as spots of paint got removed with Spigen rugged armour case

I am a huge Sony fan and had used their live with Walkman, Xperia SP & Xperia Z3 before but sadly they are not selling very few devices and no latest flagship in India at all. I m left with Samsung and is planning to buy Samsung Galaxy S10. Suggest any other android if you can. I d always want complete package in a mobile and Samsung is only android manufacturer that provide great quality android mobiles now (yeah , I like customizing my phone a lot , and themes too :P).

Thanks XDA developers for proving wonderful roms and community for helping me out with some issues I had in past. It was fun (frustration sometimes) while it lasted with OnePlus 5. I am attaching my last home screen setup and will have that as a memory :P
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] 350Rocket:
Sadly I just lost mine after almost 2 years to an accidental swim in the ocean (dove down a couple meters before remembering it was in my pocket). It was too late by the time I got home 4 days later to open it up and rinse out with alcohol.

I got it to revive long enough to back up my vacation photos by swapping the original battery back in but by morning the LCD was dead.

I replaced it with a used galaxy s8. Both phones have their pros and cons. S8 looks nicer. Oneplus 5 feels more solid and easy to hold. No burn in on the op5 screen after 2 years and a minor amount on the s8 (keyboard burned in from the girl leaving the screen on likely).
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] MihirSheth:
Which rom you used on your device ?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] 350Rocket:
Mine was stock the whole 2 years.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] oVeRdOsE.:
hopefully I will keep it way more longer. In a perspective of less over consumption, I'm expecting at least 5 years without too much lag.

I had a desire Z from 2010 to 2015, and it wasnt a flagship back in 2010. 800mhz single core, and 364mb ram. Lot of tweak and custom rom to make it work fast enough.

The nand chip get old, and even on stock 2.1 android rom it was sooooo slow. I loved this device, with a physical keyboard and removable battery.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] 350Rocket:
I had a used desire z for a short bit back in the day. Cool phone, but we've come a long ways. I could have kept the oneplus 5 a long time, especially with how repairable it is. When I was forced to replace it I wanted to try something completely different and also water resistant since mine died because of water damage. The s8 was easy to find a good one used. I miss my op5 but a change is nice sometimes.

[Huawei Nova 3i Questions & Answers] Ognib:
I recently upgraded from an iPhone to a Huawei Nova 3i, which is an excellent budget phone.

One issue I have with it, is that there is no Volte capability on the Telstra Network. I spoke with Tech support who advised that this particular model phone is not yet approved or tested by the Network Engineering team.

Tech Support removed and re-added my Volte codes, no joy.

Is there a way VoLTE can be pushed for carriers who don't support certain devices?

Cheers.

How to root the j2 core sm-j260g machine for help
[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] Prove N.:
Quick brief. Your device doesn't have TWRP, so lets go a tedious way. So please bear with me.

I'll make use of Patch Boot Image method provided within Magisk. This process might* require factory reset, so backup your data.

(*): For best result, please do.

of course this trips Knox

First I want to thank you for your help with the J260 root!

So, I am stuck in the extraction of the boot.img.lz4. I cant extract it. I dont even know if i extracted the AP file correctly, since it gives an error "there is no correct record at the end of archive".

Can you please help me out?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:

I think I was able to extract it properly now with a moded version of 7z (if anyone wants it and if it is ok i can share the file link here). But now i am stuck in Magisk manager. It does not have that option on setting. The settings actually have almost nothing. just theme, language and update option. I have used magisk many times before, and this seems strange. But i downloaded from their official thread here in XDA and chose the latest magisk manager (7.3.2). What am i missing?

EDIT 2:

So I renamed the magisk_patched.img to boot.img and right-clicked on it and selected "add to archive" on the original 7z option. it converted the boot.img to boot.tar. and i flashed this file exactly like this thru odin. And it finally worked!! Thank you for posting this!

to those who may not know how to patch the file on magisk. you click on the "install" button on the main page next to where it says "magisk not installed". As if you where going to manually install magisk thru the app.

I described my solutions on the places i had difficulties because it may help other noobs like me :)

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 BRICKED "the system has been destroyed" and I don't know what to do!

Ok so.. I recently got a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 about 3 weeks ago from a boyfriend that lives in EU area, and I live in the US. <- context. So this Mi Mix 2 (used to) run MIUI 8 Stable, but the bootloader was unlocked so I couldn't receive OTA updates (boyfriend didn't unlock the bootloader so he's clueless). I went to the XDA Discord and was told that I can easily Lock the Bootloader by simply running a command in ADB "powershell" (after installing the 'ADB in 15 seconds') I did so. Well! It was a success and locked the loader...BUT completely bricked my phone to where now it only says "the system has been destroyed", and since the bootloader is locked, I can't flash with MiFlash now.... I've ran just about every version of MiFlash out there, tried MIUI versions from 8 all the way to 10, using Global ROM, China ROM, and EU ROM. Absolutely nothing seems to work... I even tried using MiFlash Unlock and MiSuite PC to try and fix it that way (and yes I did volume UP and power button and tried doing that stuff). But ALAS! nothing works.... is there ANYTHING AT ALL that I haven't tried, I NEED help if anyone knows ANYTHING... I've been trying for 4 hours and this is my absolute breaking point. So I'm asking here if anyone knows.

-> if you do have a solution and want to help in depth (I'm clueless to all this), please message my discord @ WaifuShork#1337 PLEASE...

Really REALLY need help with this...

Warning

I am not responsible at any damages to your phone do at your own risk

REQUIRMENTS

Phone

Latest update (June 1 2019)

THIS METHOD ONLY WORKS WITH JUNE-JULY PATCH SINCE NOKIA HAS STOPPED USING EVENWELL APPS

I am getting around 6 hours and 40 mins to around 7 hours 30 mins of SOT after doing this and before that i was just getting around 4 hours to 5 hours i'm not sure if you are going to get the same results as me. I use Netflix Youtube and Facebook most of the time so its a moderate use.

The reason why you need to update to the latest software is as for me the past updates have bad battery in my experience and i think June 1 Update fixes that.

STEPS

Note: this is what i did im not sure if its going to work for you

1) Update your phone to the latest software ( June 1 2019 )

2)Back up your data and reset your phone

3)After reset Do not connect to wifi and skip all the setup first

4) Go to Settings > Apps & Notifications > Top right 3 dot menu > Show System

5) Find Battery Protection click on it and disable Allow modifying system settings

6) Find Power saver and Power Monitor and Disable the allow modifying system settings

7) Find ALL packages that has com.evenwell in them and disable them

8) Turn off Digital well being ( optional I have mine disabled and i think it does help with battery i'll update you guys if i find anything with it )

9) Restart

10) Turn on Adaptive Battery ( Optional I have mine enabled its up to you if you want to enable it maybe compare the difference )

11) Restrict apps that hogs battery Such as facebook etc.

12) give it a few days to adjust to your usage
