Boot on power does not work on the TB-8504F running Nougat using the following command:

fastboot oem off-mode charge 0

Does anyone have a working solution to get the TB-8504F to charge when power is attached?

I found the following solutions, but they involve unpacking and repacking boot.img. Will this be possible with dm-verity?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Chindose:
Please guys how do I unroot Mi A2 lite so as to get my warranty back and apply system updates?. After unrooting, can I still use Gcam?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] a1291762:
Backup your data.

Do a fastboot install but run flash_all_and_lock (or whatever the MiFlash equivalent is)

Restore your data.

You don't need to do this to take OTAs.

You may not get warranty even if you relock bootloader (not sure if it's possible to identify a previously unlocked bootloader). Depends on your local service policy.

I'm fairly certain all the gcam versions need root...

I'm currently using icontact and find it not exact enough (the letters are too small for my finger)

i tired all and finally found that Inesoft Address Book 3 as the best one.

- Big keys, easy to search , good easy acess buttons, ringtone selector and profile setting, option for full screen caller id and so on...

Very stable.

Go for it and u wont repent

iContact 0.6. Very light and fast on your system and professional looking. Best of all, its free!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] m00n61:
I second. iContact 0.6 is the best.

I've been using: Vito Fun Contact, Inesoft Address Book, Finger Friendly Friends, Pocket CM, photo contacts and still like iContacts more. My second favorite is FFF, but it's not free.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] moddin:
i prefer fun contact, most finger friendly for me. only thing i don't like is the loadtime with the stupid splash screen i already know it works with all languages i don't need to be reminded every time i want to call someone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Inishmore:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] rajm11:
I contact 0.6 is great, as it seems that its faster than Icontact 0.73 and when u close it, it closes, unlike 0.73 which you have to close from task manager.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] rajm11:
Its not like Iphone thingy, as far I know It only comes in black.icontacts new version is 0.73, but its slower than 0.60. and its got no close button. In fact they released 0.71 which had no keyboard to jump at contacts, but with 0.73 which was released within days after 0.71, they got keyboard back, but still no X.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] lifanus:
the contact manager in SPB Mobile Shell works better than iContact because it utilize a finger friendly keypad to type names you are looking for and it's very fast.

screen shot see below:

That keypad is extremly fast to find what you need - way faster than scrolling using fingers indeed. The keypad is also larger and easier to press than the tiny letters on iContact and alike.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] lifanus:
To my knowledge, Fun Contact does not support change skins, the program comes with dark/bright theme only.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Vanstra:
iContact.....works great.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] lifanus:
one huge draw back keeping me away from iContact is that everytime i use finger to scroll, if I lift the finger, the page would keep scrolling up or down couple contacts, really annoying.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jellibean75:
switched

I tried out Icontact do like it better. how did i miss this wonderful software.

I would love to have a pink skin theme...lol
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Autourdupc:
Yes, you are right...

Also some problems when the contact is at the upper limit or lower limit of the list, it is difficult to select it !

Idea :

1) when selecting a contact, it would be great if the 3 lines could be more spaced from each others. So it would be easier to select the phone.

2) If the "return back button could be at the bottom left, bigger than the little arrow in the upper left corner.

3) More generally, if it would be possible to enlarge all the items and enlarge space between items (using the conf file, why not ?). I mean, list of contacts and details

Regards,

Laurent.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] dgduris:
After reading this thread I have decided to use Inesoft's Address Book 3.

Here are my considerations:

- I have 2500+ contacts in my phone (yes, I should clean that list, but who has the time)

- I don't like the dialer that comes with my Tilt

- I frequently want to search "Company" and name fields at the same time

- Speed dial entries are people to whom I also frequently send SMS

- I need to search while I drive and don't find Voice Command particularly accurate with so large a database

I used FingerFriendlyFriends for a long time and really, really liked it. But the latest version is too slow - probably due to the size of my database. I used SunnySoft Contacts for a couple of months. I liked its dialer.

I have settled on Address Book 3 for a some nice advantages it gives me:

1. Reduced memory footprint. Address Book's 16-place speed dialer means I can stop using iLauncher - which is a great app, but one that I am using mostly as a call launcher for business and personal contacts. The applications I was launching from iLauncher, I now launch from the phoneAlarm using the Simple Manilla skin.

2. Contact search while driving. Address Book's T9 search does a pretty good job of making up for the most frustrating part of life with a touch screen device: searching with eyes on the road. If they could get the T9 panel to deliver tone feedback when each number was pushed, that would be an even bigger advantage.

3. Contact editing with Address Book is easy. Instead of jumping you to the in-built contacts data page to edit, this app gives you its own - very easy to use - editing page that is more flexible than the MS one.

So, in the end, this means I have only 2 applications on my today screen: phoneAlarm and Pocket Breeze (screen shot attached).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] uscpsycho:
I am having a problem getting bluetooth to work with calls. When I pair with a BT device, it will often only connect for audio but not calls. I can go into the bt device settings and tap the Calls switch to turn it on but it will immediately turn right back off. This is happening on two devices that previously had no trouble connecting for calls. If I unpair the bt device then pair again, calls will work for a little while but then the calls option turns off and I have to unpair the device to get it to work again. Very very annoying.

Any idea why this is happening?

The exact same bt headphones (Tozo 10L's) have worked seamlessly on my S9 since the day i got it. Matter of fact, i never even had to pair them as the info carried over from my A8
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkpassenger.du:
3 or 4 months ago I searched this forum to revive my friend's htc one. Tried 3 or 4 ROMs and ended up sticking with Lineage ROM.

I can't remember which one but in one of the threads someone shared a link of a custom ROM site. Where they listed some supported devices and ROMS they maintained officially. Not all of them on updated android iterations, but they were maintained like on Marshamallow or Nougat. I also saw that they maintained nexus 10.

Thought I'd try that ROM on both HTC one and Nexus 10 later but forgot to bookmark the site. Now I can't find it. Can someone please help me find that. The only clue I remember is that it had both HTC one and Nexus 10 as their supported devices (Nexus 10 ROM was on old android maybe nougat or marshmallow or lollipop). I know it's not much to go on. But I'm desperate. :(

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Tilman:
I have the unlocked Exynos variant and on the latest pie update. When I set the HDR(Rich tone) option to always enabled, the resultant shots don't look like they have any HDR processing applied, but if it's set to auto, the same shot comes with much better controlled highlights.

I'm new to this phone, albeit this is my first Samsung.

With previous phones I've used, whenever HDR was forced to on, it applied HDR to every shot taken.

Am I missing something here? Any help would be much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] wsxedc:
Hi,

i have read on some website that when you set HDR to on but not "Always apply" but "Apply when needed" the photos come out better.

Unfortunatly i cannot find that site atm.

Also i often pull down exposure a bit in bright sunlight because despite hdr some hightlights get clipped sometimes.

Just in case you dont know, exposure compensation works by tapping on the viewfinder to focus, then use the "bulb" slider that appears briefly just above the "trees" ( wide-angle - telephoto switch). It can be hard to see in bright light though.

Hope that helps a bit :)

im running 7.0 and unrooted (thats a whole nother story). there is an older app that would hang up your call when you put your phone face down. i havent found a profile for this, or if its possible. i assume it is since there is an app that does it. im also looking for an 'answering machine' profile. i would rather have my voicemail on my phone. i havent found anything for this either. i think ive tried every app i could find, and they dont work to well. im new to this, and have tried to find a list of what other people have done with this app. i havent found one, and the ones i do find, are the same thing over & over. thank you for any help.......
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
As far as hang up with phone face down, the profile should have two contexts: (this assumes you want to end a call that is incoming)

Event -> phone -> phone ringing

State -> sensor -> orientation -> face down

Then the entry task has an "end call" action

I have no idea how to get a voice mail to save on your device since that's handled through your service provider.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Narduant:
Hi, I've been using a Redmi Note 7 for three weeks now and I'm very happy with the device.

Yesterday I took some photos and found a weird reflection in the ones that have a strong light source. The lenses are clean and I've tried with the stock camera and the GCam, with case and without case, but the "ghost" reflections are still there. The effect occurs in both front and rear cameras.

When researching, I've found that it could be lens flare or internal reflection. However, I'd like to know if other Note 7 users have experienced the same thing or if it could be a problem with my phone's hardware.

Thanks!
