Yeah I've seen those before, been thinking about getting one myself but I'd probably just break it lol, plus I'd like to take my case of now n then

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

No reason why it wouldn't work though... Unless you had a metal case... Which you most likely don't, but plastic is finee for wireless charging.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] SH00T:
If you have never added wireless charging to a phone, thats OK, especially if you are new.

If you read that I looking for a combo that worked, it might become apparent that there is something going here you might not now about.

Laughing at me because because I was short and to the point, doesn't really help. Nor liking your own post too..

So its quite possible to add charging to this phone. Any phone. You add a coil with your charge socket type, and add it to your device. Place on a charge pad, and you are away.

Just so you know...
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] RandomAJL:
I liked my own post? Can you even do that?

Also, if you read my other comment you'll see that I was aware you can do this and have thought about in the past ?

It just wasn't clear what you were saying that's all; sorry for miss understanding you ??
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] RandomAJL:
This guy liked it, not me ?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] RandomAJL:
This one seems like a good option, it allows you to charge it wired without having to take out the wireless charging coil's cable, andd the charger is magnetic, however this also means it is not usb c and your existing usb c chargers won't work unless you unplug the wireless charging coil. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07MLRD1TD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zMeEDbG6PW858
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w1cc:
Hi everyone, I recently bought an used S8+ (G955F). The seller didn't say it had any problems. I happily went home, inserted my sim card and turned on the phone. Entered the pin code. Then it all went downhill really fast. I will list my observations here (tried with multiple sim cards from different carriers, same stuff every time):

Signal - 1/4 bars when out of the city, 4/4 when in the city.

When sim is inserted and the phone is turned on pin code is required.

When trying to call anyone, Not registered on network error is shown.

When trying to send an sms to anyone, "Currently unable to send your message . It will be sent when the service becomes available" error is shown.

When pressing Select network operator automatically in network settings, "Unable to connect. Try later" error is shown.

When pressing Select manually, "Error while searching for networks" error is shown.

Internet not working as well.

At first I thought it was a demo phone, checked IMEI and baseband version - they were there, so I think it isn't a demo phone.

Could you guys help me out in troubleshooting this device? Could that be a software or hardware problem? Any help will be appreciated <3
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w1cc:
Some things I forgot to mention

MM#6 error is present.

However, I checked imei.info and imei24, the phone is not blacklisted on both. Also it shows as unlocked. What is going on :eek:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apex Predator:
This is a general appeal for ideas, but mostly directed at Havoc [Havoc-OS v2.8 2019-09-09] users - I need your help. I've searched high and low for a solution and at this point I need someone else using Havoc to confirm something for me. The issue is phone call audio routing when headphones or 3.5mm audio cable is plugged in. On my old S2 for many years when I was driving I'd connect an audio cable to the 3.5mm jack and it would send audio (music, audiobooks, podcasts etc) to my car stereo. Then if I made or received a phone call, the audio from the other party would also come through the car stereo and the phone mic would easily pick up my voice a metre or so away, just like it would on speakerphone mode for a regular call.

Now I have an issue with the Note 4 where all regular audio out, music etc, will go to the car stereo but for some reason it isn't routing phone call audio to the car stereo OR the phone's external speaker. They can hear me fine from the Note 4 mic but I hear nothing. In addition, the call recording reveals that their voice IS being recorded along with mine....but there's no way for me to hear them.

I have tested this at home as well with regular wired headphones (not the handsfree type designed for phones with a mic on the cable), just plain old headphones I use to listen to stuff at the PC. The same thing happens: music and other normal audio goes to headphones but I cannot hear any audio in a call.

This is weird and I can't figure it out. My old S2 did this effortlessly for many years through multiple different ROMs and still does it now running Nougat. In my searches I came across what appears to be a solution, one of the only apps of it's kind for many years called SoundAbout, but it crashes straight away on my phone, and I read the same complaint from several users on Oreo onwards. The app seems to have been abandoned by it's dev years ago.

I've looked everywhere in Havoc settings and I can't find anything obvious that addresses the issue so I'm turning it over to you smart people. Any ideas? Before you say something like "just use a bluetooth headset in the car" - No. I'm not looking to change anything, I just want this (very simple) thing to work as it has for years, since Gingerbread! Btw, I only discovered this today for the first time as I'd never tried it before so I have no idea if it would have worked on earlier versions of Havoc or any of the Oreo ROMs I ran.

Thanks guys.

TLDR - [Havoc-OS v2.8 2019-09-09] phone call audio not routing to car stereo via 3.5mm jack, all other audio goes out just fine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felcocs:
I will make this quick, and I hope to see some insight into that question:

We all known how sensitive the DNS Service is. With most of our carriers/ISP proving the service, is not a surprise that lots of people are pressuring vendors to include more privacy-focused DNS services. And that is justified, with that information a company is able to infer lots about you, what banks you have an account, what is your e-mail provider, what porn sites you like to visit and etc, basically is possible to know pretty much everything you do online. Another aspect is that, if your Carrier/ISP got pwned, you are in bad sheets, as the hacker may redirect legit traffic to a custom server, waiting to -eager- to receive your connection and fool you.

Our best bet is to be able to change, and possible setup our own DNS service if paranoid.

Now, we have on Android an option to ask the system to use a encrypted connection to reach a DNS server on the Internet. This feature is called "Private DNS". That would be a solution, if Google were actually *enforcing* the config. Even if I use an VPN, the Carrier is able to ask the system to add a *custom route* that will redirect the traffic going to the Carrier DNS server *out* of the VPN. And if you use a VPN connection and your carrier do not enforce a route to their DNS, you will not be able to use Google's Private DNS as it doesn't work while a VPN is connected.

If you ask me, this is pretty much BS. There is zero need to have a VPN to push a DNS server, but what really shook me is that Google pushed the Private DNS, over TLS and over HTTPS but that setting is not global in the system. What the actual ****?!

The fact that I may need to root the device in order to control the DNS configuration is so bad.. I can't even express how I fell about that.

Any thoughts about the matter? Have you managed to control the DNS config without root and wifi tricks?

What you need:

TWRP (thanks to ZVOX): htt ps://mega.nz/#!SWYwAQAb!bbLnex8yhT7tyBTdTMr2wIS-tzITjg5VMJ_p1msXenQ

DM-Verity Disabler: ht tps://mega.nz/#!6bIAACia!WtfQf6DRAJVLjxhW0Gp3J4HQv_VstpGYm_7RoVkVhsQ

copy links, and remove space in "ht tps".

Tested with A505F/DualSim (me) and A505FN (tested by muhamet).

Steps to install TWRP:

Enable oem unlock in the developer settings.

Power off phone. Hold 'vol-up' and 'vol-down' then plug your phone to PC. You will enter download mode.

Long press 'vol-up' to unlock bootloader. Phone will reboot and wipe data and remove google accounts.

When phone reboots, shut down phone, unplug from PC and wait until screen is off. Hold 'vol-up' and 'power' to enter stock recovery. Do a factory reset AND wipe cache. Then select to "reboot to bootloader" to go to download mode again.

Plug phone again, and in AP select the TWRP (3.3.1-3) provided by ZVOX. go tto options and untick/unselect auto reboot.

Click on start. When its done, hold 'vol-down' and 'power' until screen goes black then IMMEDIATELY STOP HOLDING 'vol-down' and SWITCH to 'vol-up' before Samsung logo appears, WHILE KEEPING YOUR FINGER ON 'power'. VERY IMPORTANT TO BOOT IN TWRP!! keep holding no matter what until you get TWRP screen.

Swipe to allow modifications, then press Mount > System.

Go to Advance > File Manager, then scroll to /system/system/ and scroll to "recovery-from-boot.p" and rename it to "recovery-from-boot.p.bak"

Flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt zip in TWRP.

Format Data partition. Type "yes" to confirm.

you can boot to system now. TWRP is permanent. GG

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cmmx:
Like many here, I bought a "foreign" phone.

Like some, it needed repair.

Unlike most(?), I just found out that you can't have your phone (oficially) repaired outside of its intended market. You just can't.

This, regardless of whether the parts you need are market specific or not, or whether the phone is under warranty or not.

It's simply just not possible, and it's not even up to the good will of the repair center.

And if you're thinking "it's ok, I'll just send it to wherever it came from, pay whatever shipping fees and go through any customs import/export hassle, and be cool about it", well...

I've got news for you:

You still can't. As I've been told by their online support, you simply just can't do that, either; you'll have to have someone to send it to, so that they then can send it for repair on their own. That's the only way you can have it repaired abroad.

So, good luck if you're travelling, half way across the world, and need your phone repaired asap.

This is how things work smack in the middle of the XXI century, with the leading brand in the world, as well as with every other brands. Except for...

Apple.

So, bottom line is diss Apple all you want for whatever reason, but the fact is, at least on this particular, it seems it's the only brand with a minimally acceptable customer support policy for these days and age.

Wonder how many of you are aware of this.

Think XDA should address this issue and raise awareness with an article?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Clark Joseph Kent:
Understood all, but how is it XDA issue, XDA doesn't monitor where, how or who, Members purchase from or where to get your devices repaired.

This is solely on the Users/Members. If others are in this situation, doing their own homework on the type of device they purchase i.e. if repairs are needed or where to get repairs or the type of development, that is solely on them.

Again, I see and understand your thought, but XDA doesnt play a part of what kind of devices Members get and where to get them repaired.

I just said you could write an article about it, because I bet most people, even here, have no idea about it, until it's too late, even when they're tech savvy as myself.

You know, like I said, to raise awareness, specially nowadays, when buying online is so prevalent and you may not even have an idea where the phone came from or was intended for.

But hey, who cares, right?...

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] wanderlust97:
Hi,

I know there are several threads knocking about already on this topic, but they don't quite give me the answers I'm looking for and they're old so I don't think I'll get a response to my reply.

(https://xdaforums.com/x-compact/help/to-add-mirrorlink-t3631587 and https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/test-mirrorlink-t3678192)

From reading these threads and looking around the rest of the forum for the XZ2 Compact I'm sort of gathering the impression that in order for this to be possible I need to root my device (which I don't understand), but that would cause all sorts of complications with something about DRM because Sony doesn't support this... Why is root required? Is there a way to do it without? Can any of this happen on Pie or does it have to be Oreo?

I have a lot of questions but I suppose the most important one is can this even be done? Because I'm more than happy to continue trawling through the forums trying to figure my way through the various steps, but with the amount of complications and issues I'm reading about I don't want to go ahead with this if it's not even possible to get Mirrorlink working.

Any advice or tips or anything would be greatly appreciated!

The phone then connects with the network, and reports that it's "Connected, no internet" and falls back on VZW data.
