[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Magic Matf:
I was nagged multiple times every hour about an update for my phone, and saying "No, maybe later" just meant it came back a while later.

I eventually gave in and accepted or of frustration

Lenovo have put some kind of audio limiter into the build. The audio through the speaker fades out to a very low volume after a couple of seconds. Unfortunately this happens with any sound from the speaker, including phone calls, phone ringing, alarms, navigation, and of course any standard media like YouTube etc. This makes the phone virtually unusable because you can't really hear it very well, and not being able to hear it ringing is a really big issue.

Lenovo say they'll not be fixing this. They call this debacle a "safety feature".

Is there any way to bypass it without the risk involved in unlocking the bootloader, flashing, etc ?

Would flashing an unofficial ROM mean that "feature" isn't included?

Hello my Friends

I have a LG G4 H815 with LineageOS 15.1 ROM. Sometimes it happens that my smartphone crashes and a blue screen appears. I can not reproduce this error because it just happens sporadically and I do not know the cause. I flashed LineageOS 15.1 UsU and wanted to ask if that was related to it. I did not flash a UsU kernel.

:confused::confused:
[G4 General] sdembiske:
If you installed the LineageOS 15.1 UsU version of the rom, you shouldn't need to flash the kernel as it is built-in to the rom. If you flashed the non-UsU version, then you will have to flash the kernel.

Check FAQ # 5a) - 5e) in the UsU thread for some additional solutions.
[G4 General] alexejalexej:
Thanks for this information but what could it be that my system sometimes crashes? By the flashing process, everything worked fine. :\
[G4 General] sdembiske:
There are a lot of regional variations in the H815 - you use the H815 UsU rom if you had to unlock unofficially with steadfasterX\s UsU method but if you unlocked officially through the LG Development site you use the H815 non-UsU rom version.

The reasons listed in the FAQ I referred you to in the UsU thread are the main potential causes of what you are experiencing, provided you are not beginning to see the initial signs of the G4 ILAPO (you can search for it on XDA or google it) hardware issue if on an earlier G4 model.

That said, I would do the flashing process again EXACTLY as follows (i.e., a clean flash):

- remove your lock screen password.

- boot into the latest preview TWRP O version (install it if you haven't already): wipe Cache, Dalvik cache, System and

importantly

, format data > Yes (make sure you have backed up your data first & copied your SD data - pictures, videos, etc. to your PC).

- flash the appropriate H815 rom (UsU or non-UsU)

- flash OpenGapps (arm64)

- reboot to the bootloader/fastboot screen and flash the Marshmallow (MM) modem.bin file from your SALT backup (if you don't have a backup, get/download a copy of your original rom and extract it using only SALT.

Reboot again and test.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] DennyMi:
Hi everyone,

I have a mi 9 SE global version with bootloader blocked. I only made updates via ota and this morning, after notifying the update to miui 10.3.1, I restart the device. The phone hangs on reboot showing "the system has been destroyed" !!! What should I do? I tried with miflash but I can't, I downloaded the rom but the program gives me as error "can not found file.bat" ... I don't know how to solve! It is not important to save the data, but I need to have the phone working as soon as possible! Many thanks to those who will save me from this situation!!!:angel:
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] DennyMi:
So there is no solution? There is no way to flash a room without having the bootloader unlocked? There is no way to go into recovery mode by phone bricked?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] masterchief_2001:
I had the same issue an hour ago, I unlocked my phone with Mi Flash unlock tool and it booted...
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] DennyMi:
How did you do?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] masterchief_2001:
I dont know how to unlock when your Account on the developer options isnt logged in, sorry...
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] e_henning:
did you try this method?

should defenitely work, no matter if locked or unlocked bootloader:

http://en.miui.com/a-234.html

dont forget to extract the downloaded Rom from this page TWICE! so miflashtool can find the flash_all.bat.

you have to navigate to the extracted Folder with the .bat files inside.

dont touch your PC during flashing process!!! should take about 400sec.

have a try....
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] DennyMi:
Nope, I have the error: "Erase is not allowed in Lock State)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] e_henning:
Are you sure you are trying to flash the right version. I would try any of the available.

Did you buy from a China Store?

In this Case, its possible that they flashed the global or eu rom in a "strange way".

Try to flash the global, eu, and even the China version of the rom. I mean, what could go wrong... Its in bricked state anyway...
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] laviniu_c:
what can go wrong is that we can trigger the dreaded arb4 to make it even worse.

at the moment, i think any of the phones briked like this could be fixed if opened up with the testpoint thingy where you hold the pins to enable emergency download mode.... but ... waranty doesnt like it when we open phones so i'll try more flashes first...

btw henning, i have the same thing on mine, original global version with eea rom, had 2 other ota updates before this one (10.2.9 and 10.25 i think) and both of those worked OK. there is just something terribly wrong with the 10.3.1 for eea (pfbeuxm)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] e_henning:
OK, didn't think about arb4.

Did the same 2 Updates up to 2.9.0 but luckily after that my unlock permission was granted and I flashed Revolution OS right away...

Very sorry for you guys...

[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] MentalBreach:
There is a temporary solution (until Xiaomi release a new update):

1) Boot the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE into fastboot mode (press and hold Volume Down and Power buttons until Mi Bunny appears on screen)

2) Download, install and run Minimal ADB and Fastboot on your PC.

3) Connect the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE to your PC with a USB cable. In case wait until the installation of fastboot driver ends.

4) In the Minimal ADB and Fastboot window type "fastboot devices" and press Enter: should appear something like "XXXXXXXXXXX device".

5) In the same window type "fastboot continue" and press Enter. Wait some minutes and you should be on the old MIUI version.

Simply download fastboot ROM for your device and platform tool and extract both then copy whole file with folder of fastboot ROM to the platform tool extracted folder then open fastboot mood in your device then come back on extracted platform tool folder and click on blank screen with shift button and open command prompt then check "fastboot devices" your device will appear if not then install adb drive properly then in your platform tool extracted folder you find "flash all.bat" it will erase your internal storage without locking your bootloader then click on it then CMD automatically appear with flashing your ROM wait about 10 to 15 min and finally click any button hurry you have done.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pRo_lama:
Hi guys,

I have rooted G950U1. Anybody knows how to turn 4x4 MIMO and 256QAM on in this mobile phone? In the past, there was tutorial how to do it (secret menu *#2683662#). But it was working only on first 2-3 firmwares. Since the root on S8 works only on the latest version of Android 7.0, this option is not available.

Any ideas on how to do it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
Do the dialer codes work on 950u1? I may be wrong but I think most of the dialers work on carrier firmware except Verizon. Again I may be wrong.

If your rooted use shortcut master and you can search for it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pRo_lama:
You have to use app for that. I'm using Shortcut Mater (Lite). I found very similar secret menu. But there is missing few options which were in old menu. I was able to turn on 4x4 MIMO and will have to test it. Very interesting was CA combination menu. There were 3 options and only in 4CA Combination was written some combination. In 2CA and 3CA were missing those combinations. I'm trying to find why is CA not working on my phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] billa:
Unfortunately starting with Android v8.x.x (Oreo), all test commands sent to the RilServiceModeApp via android_secret_code://2263 even by root are denied.

Without root, the only way to enable the band selection menu (keypad codes *#2263# or through the eng-menu *#27663368378# used to set bands and CA's), is via combination firmware or a test cable (which at this time is not yet available for USB-C, only for micro-USB).

You can also try inserting different carrier SIM cards which will reboot and reconfigure the phone on a blue screen, and if you're lucky a particular carrier's CSC will allow you to access the hidden menus via keypad codes.

If you have root, you can try the following:

1. On combination firmware edit the file /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu and /efs/FactoryApp/keystr to be "ON", which will persists even after flashing back to stock firmware.

2. Copy the <CSC>_keystrings.dat from system/etc to root/etc and set permissions to 0744.

3. You can try replacing the /system/priv-app/ModemServiceMode/ModemServiceMode.apk=com.sec.android.RilServiceModeApp from a previous Android version when it was still working, and set the permissions to 0744.

The following is only for phones with a micro-USB port, nonetheless it makes an interesting way to enable the hidden diag menus.

Without root or having to flash it with any other CSC firmware, you can actually enable most diag codes (including RIL test codes like *#2263# band change, *#2683662 lab test mode, *#2766338378# engineering diag menu, etc) on pretty much any model/firmware/region by simply plugging in a test cable into the phone (the other end doesn't have to be plugged in anywhere, it's just the built in resistor which enables diag mode/FactoryMode).

It's important to follow the next steps exactly in this order: Open the dialer, exit the dialer with the Back key (not the Home button!), reopen the dialer and now it should accept most test codes.

These cheap test cables can be found on Ebay or AliExpress, just search for "Samsung 523K uart cable" or "Samsung 619K uart cable". Some come as a combo where you can simply switch the resistor values via a switch, but you must try both values, since only one or the other will work on certain models/firmwares/regions.

I've been using this method successfully for many years (currently on my Samsung S7 with the latest 2019 firmware), unfortunately these test cables are only available for micro-USB connectors, so it won't work on the newer USB-C phones even with an adapter (because it doesn't extend the resistor lines, only the data lines). If anyone finds a solution for USB-C, please post a message here.

Hi, I hope this is the right place to ask this.

so I pay our homes Internet plan and we have a monthly limit of 100GB and my sister (somehow) managed to use 60GB in the past 20 days and finish our internet!!! I showed her on her phone which apps are eating the internet and disabled the background usage of them and "Installed Internet speed meter" so she can keep an easy eye on her usage, and 10 days later(on the monthly renewal of our plan) when I checked ISM on her phone it was only showing the Internet use of that day! she obviously reset the app the day before (I'm using this app myself and it always shows 30days of use unless you rest the app!)

I can't use her phones normal Data usage in the setting cuz It only shows a full month and doesn't let you choose a smaller time frame. and our plan doesn't start on the first day of the month.

so Is there an app I can install on her phone to send me her WiFi use to my phone or email, I don't want any other info, just the amount of WiFi use, I saw some other apps and they're all focused on stuff like social apps and emails and messages, but I just want the amount of WiFi, I don't even care which apps she uses, Can someone help me out here?

thank you . . .

PS: I actually thought of something even better and a lot none invasive, I'm using a D-ling router, is there a way for me to check her phone's usage over in the router menu? I know each device has an address I just don't know where to look for it!
[General Questions and Answers] dlads:
Who is your ISP? Have you logged into the router??

Usually 192.168.0.1 from a web browser whilst you're connected to the said network..

From there you can monitor connected devices, depending on the routers features you may even be able to restrict or even cut off devices when they meet a certain threshold..

If you router doesn't allow that then you could obtain another router as an ad-hoc connection which does feature these settings and then make the changes from there..

Your sister could also look at her usage and alter accordingly, IE: turning off updates, modding her routine usage like streaming instead of downloading once then re-listening?

Who pays the bill? If she is the sole person going over it then bill her! If she's too young to pay then let the dishes pile up and create a system so she can work it off by doing housework, she'd learn valuable lessons that way...

Hope this helps..

On another hand you could just get WiFiKill installed on your phone and cut her off when you like.

Drive her mad ;)
[General Questions and Answers] f3ryx:
thanks for the reply ;)

I'm paying the bill and paying it isn't the problem, I know my internet usage is high so I got this connection with that in mind and thought the rest of the house can't go through more than 30-40GB per month so we're set, and I was right for them except for my sister! Apparently, she thinks the internet fairy pays for our monthly plan!

It's Instagram and another app like it, they both used 20GB each in 20 days! I saw it in her data usage in settings.

our router does not have any kind of feature to help with this situation! I searched for hours! I can see the connected devices but I can't do anything about it! I don't wanna buy another router cuz I don't live here, I'm just here for a month or two, my home's setup has a lot of options when it comes to traffic control but I never had to look into it!

I've been buying extra traffic each month for a while now (when ever I'm here) and I thought changing our plan would take care of that! I don't really wanna be mean and just cut her off! I suppose I just have to keep reminding her.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] P.Rabbit:
Hello,

I need help: my note 7 asks me for a PIN when I start the system (Android) and also when I enter TWRP, and I want to remove these PIN requests.

In the 1st rom change (from Miui to pure Android - HavocOS), I did, in the following order:

-format data

-Wipe: system, dalvick, cache and date

When the system started for the first time, I configured the fingerprint sensor together with a 4 digit PIN and it is this PIN that I have to put in the system and the TWRP.

I tested other roms (Bootleggers, crDroid) and it happens the same. I've tried other recoverys, including OrangeFox and the same happens.

I've also tried reinstalling the rom by doing only format data (not doing Wipes) and doing the same.

I received the device with the rom: MIUI 10.3 Stable (10.3.5.0) [PFGMIXM]

The model name is: M1901F7G.

The Android version: 9 PKQ1. 180904.001

What else can I do?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] whalesplaho:
Try not to setup pin after flashing rom and see bro...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] P.Rabbit:
I have managed to solve half of the problem: it is no longer encrypted and in TWRP it no longer asks for any PIN.

But on Android I do not accept the PIN that I set up along with the digital print, tell me that it is wrong.

Now the problem is to use PIN + fingerprint. I set up a PIN and when using that same PIN, tell me the PIN is wrong.

If you do not configure PIN, I can not use it without problems, but I lose access to the use of the print sensor

In my case it was bad configuration, because I set up safe boot and this way I mistakenly assumed that this was related to encryption, but the error was only mine.

Check if you have set safe boot. With safe, always-on boot (a pin, a pattern or a password) every system boot and every time you enter TWRP.

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Master_T:
Hi everyone!

So, I recently got a Mi 9T.

I really like the device itself, but not having used MIUI in a few years, there's something that is really making me angry, to the point where I'm considering sending the device back and getting a refund: the way notifications are handled on the lock screen.

Basically, the problem is this: when you recieve a new notification, it only shows on the lockscreen ONE TIME. After that, if you turn the screen off and back on again, even if you didn't dismiss the notificaiton it disappears from the lockscreen. You have to unlock the phone and open the notification shade to read the pending notifications.

This is not how stock Android behaves, and is very annoying because I keep forgetting I have unanswered emails/messages/etc, since I don't see them "at a glance" when I turn on the screen without unlocking the device.

Is there any way to fix this?

If there isn't, does anyone know of any alternative solution? Maybe a third party app? At least a way to see that there are active notifications, maybe via an icon in the statusbar or something?

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] LaoMi:
On my previous mobiles, I've been using a combo nova/missedit

Nova folder, transparent icon with links to phone, messages, WhatsApp,WeChat, slack... Inside, with badges active. Any notification is shown only when present. Touch, open folder, touch open app. Fast and nice.

Missed it can be configured to show anything you want

But both are not working properly with t9. Bought Wednesday, not much testing still, but some annoyances found, like that.

Lock screen is just detected, I didn't noticed it until now. But may be dangerous.

And also, notification led (I love those things) does nothing but charge... And noled app doesn't works
