This phone is so developer friendly why would you not root? You won't screw up the phone by rooting and if you're someone who has never rooted before then this would be a good device to learn on.

For me rooting is not worth it since i can do all i want without rooting. Sideload mods apks,. Use adb command (native call recording, force 90hz all time etx) . Plus oxygen os is already a modded version of stock android. Most of what oxygent os include u would have to root a pixel to get it. While not rooted all my apps work. No worries about my bank app not working (yes most bank apps work but UNTIL WHEN) or netflix and other movie apps refuses to play at higher resolution only because of root.

Getting my updates over the air. Root is great for but those whi have the time.

I see people are avoiding the GCam question. What's with all the "GCam requires root to work"? I have it installed without root and it works fine. Perhaps you guys are talking about particular features? If so, which are they?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] PRemBh0i:
Conditon :

Can't boot up into anything (Fastboot, recovery)

No Mi Logo

No Vibration

*Phone goes into EDL WITHOUT having to touch the pins on the mobo*

So, my phone was working like 3 days ago, until today it just went to "Red Light Blinking and Nothing Else", So i searched around the internet and basically on YT i got videos like "Heating up the Power IC Fixes this" but i really didn't wanted to try it so i went again and thought maybe i need to flash the Phone so i downloaded the "Global Stock Rom" so i then took the back cover off of my phone and plugged it the USB Cable and i saw "QualComm HS-USB QLoader 9008" which is right i guess and tried to flash it via MiFlash Tool. And indeed i got error BUT in sequence.

1st one was "cannot recieve hello packet"

which i solved by reconnecting my phone

Then

2nd "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

I only got this ONCE, searched around again and found out that it's something with WRONG ROM type. So i redownloaded the ROM and got the third error.

3rd "init:storage fail" Which i again searched around and found this could be related to "EMMC Fail" which i have no idea how it went there.

So please if anyone have any info or can lend me some help then please let me know as soon as you can.

Thanks in advance.

(I also have a Note 4 (mido) in the same condition (Red Light Blinking and Nothing Else, it DOEN"T EVEN go in EDL mode) :(

So u cant successfully flash rom using edl mode??

What windows pc u r using 32bit or 64 bit ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] PRemBh0i:
I have a 64 Bit Windows 10 with drivers installed, it just get stuck on "init Storage : Fail" after 7 seconds.

I have attached a .log.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Black_Stark:
Try window driver signature disabled.

Try with diffrent usb ports.

Redownload fastboot rom. Extract it and try.

If still getting storage error then Emmc is dead. Repair it or buy new phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] PRemBh0i:
I've tried a different port and re-downloaded the ROM, but i haven't tried to "Disable Driver Enforcement" yet, But if the EMMC is dead then how do i deal with it? And how does it dies? I was using it like 3 days ago with no problem and suddenly it's just gone.

:(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Black_Stark:
Its phone . not human body which comes with 80 yrs warranty.

If u r gamer then its faster. It has limited write cycles. Disk can go corrupt and dead. How old u r using phone?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] PRemBh0i:
Okay i understand nothing lasts forever but still there could've been some signs that it might be die some time ,i also have a Moto E (1st Gen) it even has gone through water submersion but still works just as fine but recently it's batter died to i decided to lay it in his grave, but alas it's gone, So i just needed to know if you could let me know What can i do to fix the EmmC? Like any tutorials or something? I also have a Note 4 with the same problem as this. Or maybe i'll just never buy a Mi phone again :(

But still thanks for your time.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Black_Stark:
Its not harddisk which will give u alert or noisy sound before it dies. Its Sd. Thats the demerits of solid drive.

Emmc means embedded multi media card or disk. Its cant be repaired. It can be replaced in service center. May be.

But better buy new phone.

Nothing wrong in buying xiaomi phone.

Most problems happen when u stay on miui and keep doing OTA update for entire life which creates lots of bugs and issues.

U must do factory reset once in a six months. Or flash fastboot rom clean all flash using computer is best to keep phone healthy. Its not true that stock rom is always best. Sometimes its bloated and hogs ur phone like hell like miui.

So installing Custom debloated roms are best here to keep rom smooth running and increasing phones health.

Only upgrading using OTA is not good. Userdata and internal sd must be wiped after few months to clear bugs.

[Android Head-Units] Crimson Flam3s:
I have this variant of the intel SC9853i android head units, and one thing that I can't get over is how badly it does at calling, compared to stock head unit on my vehicle.

The bluetooth app is very depresing and finding contacts while driving is not easy and not ideal.

I would like to be able to simply use google voice command or google assistant to make calls, but every time I do I get " I cannot make calls yet"

Is there any work around? Also any way to change the music when getting a call?

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] stormrider57:
hi, in my opinion, best thing to do , root your HU, and install the joying extra tools, and set the DPI to 200

i can used google now voice command and make call it works.

[Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers] Kila58:
Has anyone else attempted launching hl2 on their switch? I've once managed to see to valve intro with sound but it crashed shortly before reaching any menus. I've reinstalled it and now it no longer crashes and I can hear the valve intro sounds but I receive this error:

Before getting this error I have attempted to use gltools without any obvious success.
[Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers] themelstrand:
Have not tried HL2 specifically, but Portal has been running very well for me. Also—I have the same error message pop up when the main menu loads in Portal, *but* it has no effect on gameplay, the game, menu and levels still load just fine.

I'll download HL2 and give that a try to see if I can get it to work.

Edit: One issue I do have even with Portal running well otherwise is that there are black bars on the right side and bottom of the screen. I think it has something to do with the nav bars, but it still happens even if I hide the nav bar.

If I use app screen resize to force resolution to 1920x1120 everything works perfect docked or in portable mode for HL2 and Portal. No matter what I try I cannot get my legal Metal Gear Rising to validate with Nvidia after it logs into the correct Google Play account.

Question to people who have played HL2 and Portal on the Switch: is it possible to aim using motion controls (gyro aiming)?

And, by the way, did anybody manage to make Metal Gear Rising work?
[Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers] Kandern97:
I don't think the gyro works, because the game was developed to be used with the Nvidia Shield Controller, not Joy-Cons. Got to Ravenholm, but not having true analog on the Joy-Cons is a little frustrating.

I had the same verification problems with Metal Gear Solid 3 HD. Tried a bunch of stuff with Lucky Patcher, but no luck ;)

Hello everyone! I'm wondering will this device work with AT&T service since it's just a triband phone, and, afaik, AT&T uses 850MHz as their primary frequency for GSM calls (depends on location) in NYC area.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Coverage maps are here:

http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_us.shtml

Specifically the 1900Mhz map is here and you can zoom in to your area and see: http://www.gsmworld.com/cgi-bin/ni_map.pl?cc=us&net=be

[You can probably also find them some place on the AT&T website.]

Be aware tho that the diamond only does 3G at 900/2100, but AT&T use 850/1900. That means you won't be able to use 3G capabilities on AT&T anywhere.

I would either wait for the american version, or buy the 2G one they're selling in india for ~200$ less.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] edskii:
Thanks, man! Maybe i'll look at T-Mobile plans, looks like device will work with them :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Well looking at the page it looks like T-Mobile have even less 1900 coverage (GSM). I don't know their current 3G situation, but they will be/are using 1700Mhz for 3G, which the diamond can't handle either :(

I rooted my S7 2 or 3 weeks ago, it worked normally until 3 days ago. I restarted my phone and got put in a loop on the TracFone logo until it overheats and/or dies. After it has "died" the led light still changes from the dark blue to light blue for a few minutes.

I have or had 930vl (straight talk). I can get in to downloader and the other hard key menu. I've tried factory reset, clearing the cache, running the graphics test option; which took me through an erasing process and resetting up my sim card. Nothing has worked it says I have no recovery, and can't apply update with SD card because it was disabled. I have everything to flash the stock 930u firmware with Odin; however I cant get my laptop to recognize my device. My USB is new and Samsung.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] almizilero:
Hej guys, I was wondering if my Mate has a problem with its lenses. As far as I understand it, there are three different lenses for wide, normal and zoom. The zoom lens is supposed to be the one under the flash.

But I can't activate that lens. Yes, I can zoom 3x, 5x. But the picture still comes from the normal lens, which I found out by putting something in front of the lenses to see which one blacks out. The lens under the flash is just never used, no matter what zoom setting I choose. So it seems like the zoom images are taken with the normal lens and digital zoom instead of the zoom lens.

Am I missing something? What do I have to do to activate the zoom lens ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KIRGO:
Hello,

I was able to build a Kernel for my one plus 2, using their sources (6.0.1, no modifications) + Linaro 4.9.4. + OnePlus defconfig (android_kernel_oneplus_msm8994/arch/arm64/configs/msm8994-OnePlus2_defconfig).

I obtained an "Image.gz-dtb", and used Android Image Kitchen to forge a boot.img with the same lineageos currently running on my OP2. (it's an old lineage-14.1-20180303-nightly-oneplus2-signed).

I wanted to test this kernel on my OP2, without flashing it (I don't want to brick my phone with my sorcerer's apprentice tests ^^), so I used fastboot boot command. I turn my phone into fastboot mode, and it appears in

# fastboot devices
9ab2be2d fastboot

Here is the result when I try to boot on the kernel:

# fastboot boot image-new.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.300s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.501s]
finished. total time: 0.818s

The phone seems to reboot (the fastboot screen disappear), but nothing happen: the screen then stays black, and I can wait as long as I want, it is just stuck. It doesn't appear in fastboot nor in adb...

I also tried to find some clue running an

adb logcat

during the process but I got absolutely no log.

So where can I go from there? I guess my kernel is not perfect, and I want to improve it but if I can't test it and get logs, what can I do?

Many thanks for your advice

Regards

EDIT:

Some precisions:

1. I understand why I can't get logs using adb while I'm using fastboot, but I was hoping to get some logs when the phone boots on the new kernel

2. The phone is not fully rooted (bootloader is unlocked, but no SuperSU installed)

3. There is a custom recovery (TWRP) if this can help

4. I'd like to avoid a wipeout of this phone if possible, but I understand this can be a silly constraint, just tell me :P

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N3utro:
Hey guys,

A few days ago my Nexus 5x started randomly crashing and when it did it was making some graphic artefacts on the screen that are typical of faulty RAM chips (like these one on PC: http://i.imgur.com/V6pibcb.jpg).

So i searched a bit on the net and found this video of a guy reballing the RAM chip of a Nexus 5x:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqZK-eGFl04&feature=youtu.be

So i've tried removing my old RAM chip ghetto style with a hot air pen and a cutter to see if I could do it before going further and it wasn't actually too hard:

So i'm gonna order a new RAM chip from https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/K3QF...rtable-nouveau-original-et-d/33001012564.html to replace the old one, omiting the video part from 19min05 to 25min45 which is about reballing the old RAM chip which is useless since the new ram chip i'll order will already have flawless balling.

The new RAM chip will take a month to arrive so i'll let you guys know how it went after i received it and replaced the old one (also ordered the proper tools to do that :D).

In case i succeed i just want to note that this is not a guaranteed fix for all bootloop issues. This is specific to when your phone is crashing because of memory/RAM related problems, which for me translated to weird artefacts on the screen and weird random characters displayed when booting into TWRP.

If you are not sure that your bootloop Nexus 5x is due to memory/RAM failure don't try it!

But i guess it could also be used to remplace a working 2GB memory chip by a 4GB one!
