[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewsc:
I'm joining the chorus of complains about my Samsung Tab S2 9.7" SM-T810 purchased April 2016. I used it a lot and it still works well, except for a weird problem, which could be due to a recent software update.

Assume the screen turns off, without turning off the device. For example, I just leave the tablet unattended for 2 minutes, which is the timeout period. When I return to the tablet and try to turn the screen on (by pressing Home briefly) the screen won't turn on. In this zombie state, the device is still functional. Pressing Home+Power simultaneously makes the sound expected for a Screendump. Later on, I can recover the image file which shows how the screen should have looked if it was on. A long-press on Home brings up the Google Assistant and I can hear it talking to me.

But I can't turn the screen on for a while, no matter what. As if there was an internal timeout of 1-3 minutes which prevents the screen from turning on. The device probably believes the screen is on, and perhaps does not bother changing its status.

After a minute or two, the tablet eventually responds to the Home button and turns on. Then it works perfectly for hours - unless I allow it to turn off again.

Now I just ordered a new tablet (the P-205) so the old SM-810 will soon go into retirement. Would it make sense to try going back to a prior version of Android ? I have no experience with root on Android, although I "used to be" computer literate in the previous four decades.

Will a International s10 plus be able to connect to u.s. carrier's and get 5G data connection? Thanks In advance!!!

s10 plus is LTE/4G device. S10 5G is a 5G device.

According to leaks, davinci is the codename of samsung galaxy note 10. Redmi k20 has the same codename too. Or idk, there maybe two devices with same code name. Someone please clarify.

Hi, I purchased the adapter to insert 2 sim + SD card at the same time, but with android Pie an error message appears that does not allow you to use the phone. I can't downgrade with the Android version I have. I read on XDA a guide that allows to eliminate the error message through an app, which however requires Xposed. I installed it but it tells me that it is still not compatible with the processor. Does anyone know how to fix it?

If you have already rooted you phone (Knox tripped etc.) you can just use the mod from Soldier9312 (SM-G965F ONLY), it worked for me

With only 4GB of RAM, is this enough?? I mostly use social media and media consumption such as Netflix mostly however I don't know if this will suffice
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] JimboTheDeveloper:
its better than my pocophone for real i was skeptical cause of the ram and cpu but as soon as i got the phone i tried the heaviest game i have ever played Silent Hill Shattered Memories on ppsspp emulator for android.And i was surprised how smooth it was smother than the poco ,i made it run on opengl not vulkan mind you cause of that beefy gpu that the pixel has.Navigating is almost a breeze with the new android q beta and i hope it becomes smoother in the next beta.All and all my fav phone to date

I have to say I was worried about the same thing, coming from the OnePlus 6t I knew I was going to make sacrifices. But to be honest this phone is a beast, great battery life, very fluid, great os and cera is top notch . only thing I notice is opening apps is just a hair slower but nothing crazy milliseconds

Performance is out standing imop. Better than the G7 I had.. Yes the screen resolution is not that great, but then again, I never utilized the different screen settings on my G7.. I also used adb and removed some of the garbage in the phone I don't like or use... I removed the calender, calculator, pixel tips, and 4 things in my phone that had to do with Verizon, on a Sprint phone. I wish I could customize it, but at the time did not know about the retail version being pretty much the same price and the carrier version.

any news on getting a custom ROM for this series? News that wm6.1 releasing in the U.S but all existing ROM is not compatible with this series.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] justinbaird:
Hello I am posting in Q&A because I'm a new XDA user, I was not allowed to post in the dev channel.

I have an Essential phone that has been working great for the past few years, no issues, and it was running standard build receiving OTA updates, until the very last update, which soft bricked the phone.

The phone was never enabled in developer mode while in Android, and now, I can't boot the phone into android at all. The only thing I can do is get into fastboot.

Fastboot state shows DEVICE STATE - locked

Any commands I try to unlock flashing, or change slots, anything at all, I get the error that the device is locked so all commands to unlock fail.

Is there any way to unlock device state from fastboot? I saw a youtube video showing a way to use a chopped USB cable to enter emergency / EDL mode for Qualcomm-based Android devices, but have not seen anyone post that this was successful with the Essential

Does anyone know of any method to be able to unlock flashing from fastboot? Or any other method to un-brick an essential? I've attempted everything, on both Mac and PC, nothing works.

On mac or PC, I can query the device in fastboot and get a response, I just can't do anything to unlock anything!!

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] testawesome:
Same problem

Same thing happened to me. Same day as you. I can get fastboot but not adb but since the device is locked I can't flash. I've only had the phone about 6 months so I contacted customer support and they offered to replace the phone.

It might be a known issue because they didn't even try to address the fact that I could get fastboot connected but not adb. They just offered to replace.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] justinbaird:
Thanks for the info! I am -at least in this case- unfortunately an early adopter. I bought two essentials at the beginning of the pre-release.

Essential support checked my serial number and said the phone was out of warranty.

Has anyone been able to force the Essential into EDL mode to recover that way? It looks like you have to latch one of the USB pins to ground, or 5V, but I haven't found any detailed instructions on how to make this work on the essential...

Thanks again

Justin
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] djinc91:
I'm sure things have changed and I'm wrong, but if you can get into the fastboot menu can't you just cycle through the options until you get to recovery and then flash an official release from Essential?

I may be thinking of LG or something but this should be possible as long as it's newer than the current software installed because it will see it as an official update and allow the flash.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] justinbaird:
Thanks but unfortunately, when I try and do that, the phone just does the same thing, it hangs forever on the initial boot screen white Android text with the circle/square logo...

That's why I've been looking into the more direct hardware version of forcing the phone into EDL mode, which is supposed to be possible with all Qualcomm based phones.

I've just not found the time yet to find a USB-C cable I'd be happy to cut in half and short the pins on! Which is why I was hoping someone might have tried this with an essential before to know if it was successful before I start trashing good cables :)

Thanks again for your reply!

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] A.I.M:
I have the exact same problem,

My phone is stuck on Essential log when I turned it on,

I can access Bootloader normally but the device is locked so I cannot flash it,

Recovery is corrupted, when I try to star it, it shows only the the Essential log and freeze so I can not format or wipe or sideload.

OEM Locked and unchecked

USB Debugging is unchecked

and I can't flash anything,

Did you managed to unlock it through Fastboot command or any other way ?

I wish I can just login to the recovery or unlock it so I can flash it clean,

Kindly help me if you found a way out

Thank you

Hi,

as another topic I opened, I'm having some troubles with my device.

While I suspect it's more of an hardware failure of the sim card tray, I'm trying to update my phone to the 10.3.10 EEA Global Stable, from 10.3.9 Global Stable in hope the problem might be fixed.

The fact is, if I try to update from the updater and selecting the package, it says it isn't compatible because I'm trying to install another region rom.

Is there any way to overcome this without unlocking the bootloader?

Kind regards
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Schnedi:
No, if you don't unlock it first, you won't be able to change.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] 4ur0r:
Thanks for the reply.

The fact is I get an error relative to my account not being bound to my phone number and my phone when I'm trying to unlock it, but then, I can't bind it because my sim doesn't get recognized on my Mi9t.

A guide on how to unlock the bootloader would be much appreciated.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] razielmcr:
All it takes it's to boot in Fastboot then flash every partition of the stock global rom, I am wrong? Don't see why you need an unlocked bootloader.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Schnedi:
He can try it, there are 3 options:

• It will work. (I highly doubt it)

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Da Legend:
So I have left LG for some few years now but I want to return. Please I want to buy an LG phone and V30 is the best option for me with no notch. Please can someone give me advice on this? I remember LG phones are usually faulty when they first come out so is there a model number I should avoid? Thanks a lot .
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tech_infinity:
I think h930, 930ds etc are the best one because all the custom development works for them.

See if you can buy v35. It's the same as v30 but with upgraded Snapdragon 845
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Da Legend:
Thanks for they reply. But my rooting days are over. Software development is not an issue for me. I just want a LG V30 that works perfectly without maybe screen issues, batteries drain etc.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Edvin73:
And a V30 will do exactly what you want it to. It's really a great phone for the money. :good:
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Where do you live? For instance in you live in North America, you do not want H930 or H930DS as they don't have the major carrier bands.

For most people in Europe, H930/H930G.

Most everyone else, US998 V30+ or LS998 V30+ (which can easily be converted into US998 V30+). V30+ has 128GB internal memory.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Da Legend:
Thanks for the replies. I was actually asking about defects that may have plague some v30 units during it's initial release. Like for example I heard some early models screens have blue when you look at it from the side etc. I will definitely see if it has network issues before paying. Thanks
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
The blue off screen viewing never bothered me, since I don't care that other people can't read my texts/emails. :p

I'm the one looking straight at my phone, so there's no blue. Why would YOU look at your phone from the side?

This was discussed in depth by early adopters and isn't an issue. See, problem is reviewers HAVE to find something wrong. They have to find pros and cons, because (except for XDA editors and their obsession with OnePlus) no phone can be perfect. And if early reviewers make it seem like something "CATASTROPHIC!" for their review headline, they will get more web views.

This phone was the best phone of 2017.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Arcide:
The off axis blue tint was the biggest bull**** I've heard reviewers say, probably ever. I've put this phone side by side with the Galaxy S9+, and the amount of blue tint is almost identical, as well as the overall quality of the display. Yet the Galaxy was praised for the display, while the V30's display was the most negative point they could bring up about the phone. The only REAL problem LG V30 had was the uneven display brightness that plagued the early models, and even that was only noticeable on very low brightness in the dark.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Well said.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Da Legend:
Hi so i just got my new LG V30 6 days ago and every thing was going great till 2 days ago I decided to update to pie via OTA. After the update the wifi signal is really poor. I now get frequent disconnect when using wifi. I have to sit next to my router before I get steady connection. Please what could be the problem?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Which V30 variant did you get? I assume one of the H930 since only they and the Korean variants have Pie?

Possibly factory reset can fix the issue, but this is one reason I don't like taking partial image OTA vs flashing full image KDZ.

Possible solutions:

* Factory Reset

* Reinstall Pie via LGUP Refurbish mode

* Downgrade back to most recent Oreo, until you're ready to try Pie again. See post #2 of the EU H930 KDZ thread. This is assuming you have H930?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Da Legend:
Please I have the Korean LG V300L. I'm currently on V300L30d. Thanks
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
OK.

Well, the solutions I mentioned are still valid except you need your variant KDZ, not H930.

Sent via open market LG US998 V30/V30+
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Da Legend:
Thanks for the reply. so I have a factory reset but it did not change a thing. I have downloaded the official kdz pie from LG with 3.4gb storage. please advice me on how to flash. I have downloaded and install LGUP from this thread HERE but I am unsure to proceed because of difference. should I use the same LGUP and settings from the thread to proceed? thanks again
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
The Dev Patched LGUP I would use is attached to post #2 of this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79964731&postcount=2

Those instructions are for downgrading H930, so ignore that. It's the version of LGUP attached to that post which I'm talking about. Install it, choose your Korean variant Pie KDZ you wish to flash and use "Refurbish" mode.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Da Legend:
I was just about to start then remember I do not know which mode to set my phone on. should I put it in download mode or file transfer mode?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Da Legend:
Update. I have flash the pie kdz with LGUP process set to refurbish and phone in download mode then factory reset. Still very very crappy wifi connection. My old galaxy s4, note 4, s7 and PC all connects easily and stays connected until I disconnect them. But my V30 will take time to connect and disconnect in like 10 seconds later. I will have to keep connecting about 20 times in a roll before it will finally connect well. Even then, a little distance from my router will disconnect it and then I will have to start trying to connect again. I am presently downloading Oreo. Will see if Oreo will solve my problem, as I am not exactly sure if the problem only started after OTA pie update.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Da Legend:
All good in Oreo. I really love Pie tho

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] mousstachuuu:
No it works very well, you have to register 2 or 3 times your principal fingerprint (wich one with very clean finger for exemple and others with normal dirt). And if you use screenprotector, register after installing !
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] brombadeg:

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] marko-mb:
I can also confirm that fingerprint is really bad. My previous phone unlocked instantly in 99% but 9T takes loooong time to recognize fingerprint and it does it in 40%.

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Major75:
Have you registered atleast 3 fingerprints for each finger and use the rhythm animation (makes it faster)

Also heard with tempered glass and the residual oils from your finger get onto the tempered glass and over time, the green light from the scanner difracts more and increases likelyhood of incorrect reading of finger print. If you're using a tempered glass then i suggest cleaning with isopropyl alcohol ever few days to remove the oils to avoid diffraction failure or get rid of the tempered glass.

In Screen FP have issues with Temperer Glass. After 2nd try I am Able to Unlock within 3 tries.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] hwandroid:
The scanner works superb and fast. Guys you should understand that this is new technology and the way it works it's awesome, as for the protection screen you should feel and understand the way it works if you place tempered glass, imagine that the scanner is beneath the glass already and it is darkened by itself and if you put another glass on the top of it that will be double glass so the scanner array has to pass through 2 glasses to scan your fingerprint, if you place FP on dirty screen or if your FP might be smudged then it is blinded effect for the scanner. And the other issue if you place the protection screen of low quality that can mess it up as well. When you are saving your FP try to press it a bit harder on the screen so that the scanner can photograph it more clear.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] nrdl:
Sorry... but you are not quite right. Yes, it works superb... with light and without any glass.

It works mediocre on low light... and almost none with tempered glass and low light.

For a top performance device, it's pretty pretty BAD!

Worst: I've wrote to Xiaomi Support, want to know what answer I received? None, absolutelly None.
