[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vishnuisgod:
Hey guys, Im throwing in the towel.....

Ive been trying for the better part of a year to get my LGG4(s) to work as a time lapse machine. I work on boats and soend time up in the arctic form time to time, amazing scenery!

I got my first g4 last year as I wanted something a little better than my g3. I had also lusted after the g4 when it came out..... I bought a couple of8000mah batteries, got some 128gb microsd cards.... I thought I was set!!!

However Ive been chasing the overheating problem so much, Im just done. Ive burnt out 2 lg's to the point of being unresponsive... 2 more sometimes show a blue LED when plugged in....and I have 1 unopened.... Im just not having fun anymore.

When I set it up, to take pictures at every 3/4/5/10 seconds, or if I set the ap to create a vid natively, the cpu(?) runs upto 90degrees C! WHY!?!?!?!?!?! I thought the first one was just bad luck, the second one, I made copper heat sink with arctic silver paste. It helps, but not enough.... After a few hours they die.... Why or how could this design ever get out of the factory!?!?!?! steadfasterX has been awesome, but he really is at another level....I am just so far behind in knowledge I struggle to use the tools hes given. Sometimes Im missing pythonx or fwul can find wifi.... I just dont have the time for this anymore. The phones arent that good, compared to say a aPoco.. or a Pixel 3a. Plus all the updating for lineage, or AIOCP. I want to get there, but my time is more valuable than this......I should just buy a real phone (conversely the nokia 9 takes some amazing pictures!)

anybody want 5.5 lg g4? Ive got 2 that work, 1 unopened, 2 chassis, maybe 3 chassis, 4 reg batteries, and 2 8000mah batteries.....

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] quailallstar:
For the life of me I can't recall what I did or where the Samsung Galaxy Store app went on my phone (S9+ Tmo branded). I've tried to download the apk via apk mirror but it wont install. Can someone please tell me if there is a specific version I should be downloading? Is this an app I will need to download and side-load via adb?

Thanks!

Michael :)

Good lock is not currently available in my country as per checking with Samsung Store. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
It should be already installed on your phone, unless there is some sort of regional restriction that doesn't allow you to use it. I use a tmobile phone also and it's there. If I remember there is a Samsung apps folder, it maybe inside that... granted its been a while since I used default layout for my apps or the one UI home launcher (I use Nova Launcher).

If anything check under settings > apps and look for Galaxy Store. If it's listed there then it is installed. If it is listed then try going to settings, press the spy glass icon at the top and type in galaxy store.. it should show up as a result .

If there is no regional or other restriction in place that prevents the use of galaxy store app (and/or the still doesn't show up) then consider doing a factory data reset
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
To be honest I do not know what app dependencies the Galaxy Store has, so I could not tell you a simple solution.

But I would suggest you start by re-enabling all the Samsung apps you disabled and see if that helps. If needs be re-enable all the ones you have listed and disable them again one by one until you find which app breaks the Galaxy Store and causes it to not appear.

Then re-enable the app that breaks the Galaxy Store, and then scratch that off your disable list. Proceed with the remaining items on the list finding which one(s) break the Galaxy Store, and then repeat the process until your done.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ilCactuss:
Hello,

I tried searching in every Sony forum, I must be unlucky or I'm typing the wrong keywords.

I own a Xperia XZ Premium Dual (G8142), CDA 1308-6877 (customized HK), firmware 47.2.A.8.24 while the others have 47.2.A.10.80 (looking on xpericheck.com). I also own a Xperia XA2 Ultra Dual (H4233), with the same problem.

My question: can I change customization on my phone, and if yes, what should i do, to receive faster and the latest updates?

Thank you in advance,

Cactuss
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
If you really feel there is some sort of advantage to having the latest firmware on your phone, then upgrade it yourself, you won't damage the phone or change your warranty status.

Look on Xperiafirm and find a 47.2.A.10.80 customised build - CE1 would be a good option

Download Newflasher and put it in the same folder as the firmware you downloaded from Xperiafirm

Delete Userdataxxx.sin and files ending in .ta (except in the boot folder). This will ensure that you don't lose any personal data. Also delete persist*.sin to avoid losing android attest key.

Then start newflasher.exe and follow instrctions.

You might need a copy of the Sony driver

I would make a backup with Xperia transfer before you do anything, if the phone is glitchty after your rebuild, then factory reset it and then restore from the backup.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ilCactuss:
Thank you for fast reply! You solved every doubt I had.

I hope Android 9 will roll out soon for my XA2 ultra (since custom HK is the last one with Android 8). If not, I will follow your instructions.

Just one more question: what about not deleting userdataxxx.sin and .ta files, for a clean install? I don't care to save personal data, since it's all cloud based.

Thank you again!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
It's the userdataxxx.sin file that decides if the data folder is overwritten or not. Leave it in for a clean wipe.

The ta files need to go so you don't damage your TA partition that holds your DRM key.

Does anyone notice a battery draining from those monthly updates because my phone started having that problem when I update to June. If someone has fix on this please tell me/us

Small Conversation from Reddit that has same problem with me - https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS9/comments/c4di2o/battery_june/
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] McSmarte:
Notice yes. Just got my phone a month ago. Came refurbished from some funky place. Old software version, but what do I care. Battery life about 2 days. 9 software updates later, battery doesn't even last one day.

Maybe it's AT&T's network monitoring tool they use at the cost of their customers, bad bloatware or maybe Samsung/Qualcomm screwing me over, but it seemed like it all started about the same time to network logo changed to 5G wannabe. I had a software update almost every second day for 2 weeks, but definitely there has been a difference.

I got this phone thinking my S7 was power hungry - that one was also much better on old software's. Now it's the same sh*t.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ugulp:
Do you have a SD Card inside your S9?

When you have one take it out and use your phone 1 - 2 days and look if it's better (highly recommended to test this).

When your Device care shows that Google play services takes a lot of battery, then you should try that out:

- Deactivate Google Play service

- Delete your Google Account in "Settings"->"Accounts" then you can log it back in

-Activate Google Play services

- Restart your S9

- deactivate "Search for nearby devices"in "settings" -> "connections" -> "further connection settings"

- Turn off "Location"(GPS) when you don't need it

(- When you have the google find my device app take its admin rights and delete it)

(-When you have Facebook and Messenger delete them and download their lite version)

-Delete Samsung Health when you don't need it

- Deactivate Auto Update in Galaxy Apps (store) and in Google Play Store

- Activate "save medium energy' in "settings"-> "device care"

-Set your Display resolution to FHD+

- Deactivate adaptive brightness and use your s9 with low brightness

- Use Mobile Data only if necessary

- Delete Apps that you don't need that much

Do this only if you have very similar Battery life like in this screenshot (Where Screen on time is only 1 hour)

I've done this all and now I have 4Hours SOT instead of 1.5 hours.

I hope I could help those with battery life problems.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] hanonicaro:
So I'm trying to root my phone but is really excencial to have the bootloader unlocked, which you can make by unlocking the OEM in developer options.

The problem is that that option is not on my phone, even after flashing the stock rom with odin, deleting cache data and factory reset.

Anybody knows how to solve it?

Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] johnjutsu:
Try connecting your phone to the internet and telling it to check for updates. Once it has registered and checked for updates, you should see the unlock option.
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Kryshoft:

[Motorola One Questions & Answers] lucasdeeiroz:
EDIT: Problem solved. I just had to wait a few days to get the switch available. It seems it's a "security feature"...

Hello, guys.

I recently bought a Moto One, already with the bootloader unlocking in mind. I live in Brazil, and here phones are required to be unlockable. But here's the thing: this one has the "OEM unlock" option grayed out. I already did a Factory Reset multiple times, following different ways to do it, and nothing worked.

It says I need to connect to internet (which I obviously already did) or contact my mobile operator. But it's a retail device, so they have nothing to do with it.

Does someone have the same problem or am I the only lucky one?
[Motorola One Questions & Answers] tys0n:
I've seen another Brazilian guy over in our telegram group having the same problem. I don't know more about it tho.

Boot to fastboot and do:

fastboot getvar cid

Here you'll see which cid's can be unlocked or not. https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/MOTOROLA-Android-Developer/Bootloader-Unlock-Problems/td-p/3222809

If your cid returns a value that is supposed to be unlockable then you should report the bug in that motorola community.

[Motorola One Questions & Answers] lucasdeeiroz:
Thank you for your answer. My cid is eligible for unlocking. I even got the Unique Key to unlock it already. I suppose I'll have to report the bug to Motorola.
[Motorola One Questions & Answers] m2habert:
I've read somewhere that this is supposed to be a new security thing (not sure if it's from manufacturer or from the OS): in order to activate the Unlock switch, user is supposed to wait a minimum time period: something close to 7 days of uptime.

It's funny, though, Motorola's site doesn't mention this restrain at all.
[Motorola One Questions & Answers] lucasdeeiroz:
That is interesting... and it's true. After 4 days the switch is finally available. Thanks for the info!

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loop_x:
Hey folks,

I just have a very weird issue with my Z3 Stock firmware : it was in my pocket and suddenly, started to reboot over and over for no apparent reason. So it was heating and the battery was quickly flat. Since then, I can't use it anymore : it startup correctly and once you can finally use the screen to unlock it, it's already "crashed" and several second later, it reboot (over and over ...).

Tried to recovery with the Sony Companion which worked and I could see change after that flash : there is now a "hello" as if it was fresh new, but no time to select anything and again, crashed and reboot.

I have no idea of why, anyone ?

I think the hardware is now defect, but as it start correctly (and flash to stock worked), I really don't understand.

I've seen a post where someone say that it's (could) be because of the gyroscope ... really ??

Help appreciated,

Thx
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loop_x:
Hey, more information.

So I was able to flash stock firmware, android 5 or 6, both reboot loop. Each time, it seems to works (touch screen OK) then there is a text displayed and after that, freeze and reboot.

The Killin message, on android 5 or 6 stock rom :

FACTORY STARTUP SERVICE - Please wait for on-screen POWER OFF button

I've never seen that button on screen, reboot before. Any idea? Possibly due to hardware failure? Looks to works, but is not working, sad.

Thx
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
I used to be a crack flasher all the way back to the original SGN. It slowed down when I got the 5T. Only rooted the 6 but never did root the 6T but I did unlock the bootloader.

With the 7 Pro I feel no need to unlock the bootloader or even think about root. Is this just due to Android getting better or something else?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] yandreev3:
I was on the fence but ended up rooting mainly for the VPN-less adblocking.

Custom text, alarm and ringtones (removing stock and replacing with custom in /system/media/audio/)

Custom boot animations

Custom fonts

Renovate Magisk ROM

Substratum for themeing

Dolby Digital Plus

SysConfig Patcher
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] miffymiffy:
The way I look at it now is you can not do certain things without root. Thats reason enough.

There is really nothing you cannot do with root (that you can do unrooted)

Google Pay isn't what breaks it's Google play services that will block your card use. I update google pay the second it says there's an update and I never once had an issue with root and google or Samsung pay for that matter (Gear S3 Frontier)

Ok, then Google Play services.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] iamMG:
Yeah definitely. I really need Xposed Edge for the gestures. I have assigned 12 functions amongst the four edges which works wonders on this already super fast phone.

Exi for Swiftkey, for far easier and quicker typing.

ChromePie, easier to access various options.

Minminguard, in-app ad blocking.

Adaway.

GravityBox, for finer tweaking of ROM.

Titanium Backup.

You don't need root for that really.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] slonn:
Have always rooted my phones since 2009, but this is the first where I haven't rooted (yet). Normally I'd root a new phone within 10 minutes after receiving it. But this phone pretty much has it all so no need to root (yet). Only thing I miss is a complete dark theme. OPs strategy with only theming about 70% of the interface is odd, but I hope that Android Q will fix that once it's officially released for this phone.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] proa_p:
Same as you. Sometimes I rooted my new phones even before a complete boot cycle! But with the OP7P I guess I don't feel the need to do it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
Seems like it's installed the easiest and most seamless with root though.

Regardless, there are several other reasons I mentioned I use root for, so why not just install YouTube Vanced with root as well ;)

Been rooting my phones since my first Android and the OG Droid Motorola A855. I doubt you may find too many members here that will vote the last question of your poll, since this site has become THE place for those who want to root and ROM.

Titanium

Ad Away

Renovate

and whatever other reason I feel like. I received my 7 Pro, charged the battery and the only reason I booted it to system was to get developers options and OK the oem unlocking. Didn't even sign it in on first boot.

I bought a second hand sony xperia xz f8331. The signal where I am is weak on the network I'm on and volte seems to help. But it is not in the settings of the stock rom (Android 8.0, latest security update, 1 october 2018, build number 41.3.A.2.192) I'm using. If I search for it in settings, it says it's there, but when I go to Network & Internet->Mobile network, it's not there.

If I dial *#*#4636#*#*, and select "Phone Information," I see that "VoLTE provisioned" is greyed out. And it is unresponsive to touch. It's stays greyed out.

So essentially I have no VoLTE and so far no way to enable it.

[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Yepi69:
Supposedly our device can be bootloader unlocked right? I mean I tried going through the process on Nokia's website and it allowed me (tho I didn't go all the way cuz my device is registered and I'm afraid they'll void me the warranty as soon as they give me the unlock bootloader code) so why doesn't this device have more custom ROMs?

I sold my Mi A2 and bought this device and although its a much MUCH better device than A2, I do miss the many custom ROMs that device has available, and it baffles me because A2 and this device share most of the same specs. I know the bootloader unlocking issue WAS an issue months, if not years ago, because HMD didn't allowed it. Is there a lack of source code for the development of custom ROMs or this device doesn't interest the community what-so-ever?

There is no official way to unlock bootloader, only unoffical.

This is the most retarded comment I have come across on xda. Wow
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] xsycox:
First, you may have not read a lot on our beloved XDA forums/community, otherwise you would know some better behavior. So, get some manners.

Second, usually, you wish for/use a cleaned and better responsive custom ROM to get away from bloated **** ROMs installed by phone manufacturers, but with an Android One device you do not have to. At least, I hear that is why loads of people use/buy them (including me). Unlocking the boot loader and installing Magisk is nice, but what else do you need then?
[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Yepi69:
I actually prefer a more AOSP Pixel version of Android than anything else (Pixel Experience), plus Mi A2 already has a custom rom based on Android Q's beta, something this device does not have.
[About XDA developers] KaKi87:
Hello everybody,

I can't figure out how no one asked for this feature before me xD

It's all in the title : I would like to sort a forum's topic by last time edited, and/or, at least, have the last edit date below the publish date when applicable.

For example, if I want to know what's the most updated ROM for some old device I have, considering the index list isn't updated since a while (which is fine), it would be useful if I didn't have to open all threads in the android development section to see which has been updated recently.

I know that posters often put the last ROM update in the topic's title, but not everybody does it.

Thanks !

EDIT : so I actually made a userscript for it lol
