[General Questions and Answers] Khiemmy:
Hello,

I recently installed Lineage OS 16.0 (from the official website and latest version to this day for my exact model) on my SM-A520F/DS (whatever the one in Australia). I use TWRP 3.3.1-1 -a5y17lte and flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt, open gapps STOCK and addonsu but later removed with the addonsu-remove zip.

The problem: ONLY when I restart my phone, the boot animation goes on for a very long time (probably forever). The circle just keeps going from one end to the other on a line and shrinks. Then repeats. You know, how boot animations normally go. However, if I shut down my phone and then power it on with the power button, it boots up in seconds and works perfectly fine. When the boot animation gets stuck, I have to force restart the phone (volume up + power) and then it boots up fine in seconds.

Please tell me what is going on and if there is a possible fix for this very annoying problem.

Thanks

I'm about fed up with TouchFlo 3D, nice but pretty useless and I REALLY miss the Cube from my Touch Dual, much more convenient and doens't waste CPU cycles, so...has anyone installed it on the Diamond ?

Found a few existing CUBE topics, but not sure if there might not be interference and if a VGA skin is needed.

Topics : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=343583 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=348437

Ok had to hard reset...

Was hopeful after a post by SecureGSM :

"HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings:

also, there is one that is suppose to enable cube finctionality there:

EnableCube : default value (0) <--change that to (1)"

But not working for me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Baronic:
Its not so simple as switching cube on. Cube is simply not there in our Diamond. If u try to install this Cube configurator from the Elf thread, u'll see a multitude of errors, missing files, etc. Cube may be functional here, but we'll be needing all those files
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] webvan:
Yes, that sucks, the CUBE is x times more useful than TouchFlo 3D IMHO.

There must be a way though because it was added to non touch devices.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Baronic:
i dun think we'll have to descend to the non touch method, they use flash. i'm sure if we can get the Touch Cruise for example, and get their files, and put it in, it should work? i think

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] webvan:
Another bump, that would be such a useful addition, I'm sure the bright minds around here can figure how to add the Cube back ;-)

Any news guys ? I was so happy with my Touch Cruise but bought the Diamond for the 640x480 screen and faster video playback.

The TouchFlow 3D looks fine but it's very useless to me, The old TouchFlo Cube from the cruise could be swept away and you had your normal windows todayscreen.

I tried the Cube thing SPD Mobile Shell but the old originall CUBE is way better I think.

Any solutions ?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Lexamundo:
My wife and I have the same model unlocked international S8 (G950FD) and have used it on ATT in many parts of the U.S. for 3 years. Now hers stopped taking/making calls in the DC area. Her data in and out still works there, texting, internet, WhatsApp, etc. Drive 45 minutes away, it takes and makes calls again. Mine - fully functional in DC.

2 SIM changes suggested by ATT - no resolution. Factory reset - no resolution. No physical damage. Spec checking indicates these phones operate on all frequencies and bands used by ATT in the U.S.

Is it possible one set of frequencies in a phone can fail? P.S. she isn't a spy. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] VannM:
Looks like i have the exact same problem as your wife's phone.

Replying here just to let you know that youre not alone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Lexamundo:
Thanks for that. I've researched and the G950FD has all the frequencies and LTE bands that ATT uses in the U.S. And again, my phone is the same model and works fine in DC area. Very weird.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] VannM:
Im sorry. I was in not a good mood when writing those, but i just realised that "Drives 45minutes...".

This means yours still usable, but mine is dead (in my housing area and market). Those 2 place are quite far away from each other, and mine still wont function on 3g/2g mode.

Hope that anyone else can explain this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Lexamundo:
No problem ! Switching to 2G/3G while in the DC area also did not enable phone calling/receiving for this phone. We've had to replace it. Who needs a phone that works only in MOST cities?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] VannM:
I can confirm that switching between 4g and 3g/2g doesnt help. Looks like i have to use this phone similar to my old note5, in which doesnt have memory card (used by simcard slot 2)

Lucky you guys are able to replace it after a while. Im still eyeing for note9.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] 662:
Hello,

I got this issue on my Xiaomi 9T (EUROPE). I have set up my Google Pay and my 4 different cards. I had to verify each of the cards separately to make them work. Then I can pay contactless using my phone with Google Pay. The problem starts after few days, when I want to pay with Google Pay contactless again - all of the cards require again NEW verification. So I verify all of them and I can use them. But after few days, the same thing happens - all cards require again new verification. It is so annoying, I cannot pay in the store unless the cards are verified and I cannot be re-verifying them every other day.

I also check with Google Pay support but they could not figure out anything. I uninstalled up, cleared cache, cleared data, verified cards and again after few days, cards require new verification. They told me to check with Xiaomi, whether that has nothing to do with new software updates from Xiaomi, but I don't install new Xiaomi updates every 3 days.

Anybody had such an issue?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] 662:
nobody with similar issue?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] hwandroid:
When did it start to happen? Did you install any other software? It looks more like the app data is being cleared from time to time, also check if Gpay has all the permissions and if you use SIM wallet try to switch to HCE wallet method, that's what Google uses preferably.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] avivv:
Hi

I just received the phone, I've set the system language to Hebrew.

There is no Hebrew T9 dialing option in the stock phone app.

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix it? I don't need the letters to appear on the numbers I just need the search function to operate in my language (Hebrew).

In the settings the options are: English, Russian and Chinese.

I know I can download a 3rd party phone app that support Hebrew T9 but I prefer to fix the stock one.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Have Xioami Mi 8 Lite, rooted with TWRP + Magisk 19.2.

Everything worked fine, installed SMALI... all working perfect.

Some days ago, Magisk stopped working (Magisk hide, seems like not working anymore), and Magisk manager, show "Searching updates" in bucle and SafetyNet not working either.

After wipe data/dalvik/cache, flash Magisk 19.2 and re-root... same situation. Wiped again, and flashing Magisk 20.0... same situation.

My Magisk in Note 9, showing loop "Searching updates" as well (19.2).

Magisk is having problems?

Thanks!

[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Chef_BOYRD:
I'm a beginner at rooting and flashing and what not so after looking up and following (To my best efforts) guides on here and other sites as well, on flashing lineageOS on my phone and i may have read a step wrong and wiped my system data BEFORE i got the chance to make a twrp backup.. i've tried flashing the lineageOS rom anyways, and it must not have been the right version. I've searched probably 16 hours in the total in the past 3 days trying to find my stock firmware but cant seem to find it anywhere,

My info is:

product: htc_ocmdugl

version: 1.0

max-download-size: 1082400000

version-bootloader: 1.0.0.0000

mid: 2Q4D10000

cid: HTC__621

Like i said, i cannot find my stock firmware and i'm not sure which, if any, custom firmwares would work or what version to download, i can still boot to twrp, my phone can only get to download mode, recovery mode and bootloader mode, other than that it's stuck in a bootloop,

If anyone has a firmware or knows what version of lineage i can use, please let me know, it's probably the most i've spent on a smartphone, and i just tried to make it my own and failed, at my own cost...

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!!!

I live in canada and paid for the phone through carrier so i'm not sure what applies to my phone, as in "United States, Europe, Asia" i see theres multiple versions but not sure where mine fits in...

[MENTION=10297387]Chef_BOYRD[/MENTION] I've removed the IMEI from your OP but feel free to re-insert it if you deem it necessary. Please be aware that it's clearly suggested not to publicly post the IMEI or to share it. It's not required for anything but your IMEI could easily misused, and I'm convinced you wouldn't enjoy that.

[General Questions and Answers] owziee:
I have an option to trade my HTC S710 for a friends P990i... I'm playing with the P990i right now and the large touch screen and browsing with the built in Opera browser is amazing.

I still don't really know if it's a stupid trade. I love my HTC S710 aswell but I've always wanted a touch screen.

The P990i has 3G and a 2mpx camera with autofocus aswell... It takes way better images than my S710 does.

Since this is mainly a windows mobile forum this might be the wrong forum to ask for an advice like this.

What would you do? Which device do you think is better??? I only have until tomorrow to decide...

Help me please!!! :)
[General Questions and Answers] abubasim:
I have no experience with touchscreen-less WM phones but I have both an HTC TyTN and an SE P990i and must say that I prefer the P990i because of it's better camera, better usability as a phone and that A2DP works perfectly without skipping and without draining the phone battery - at least when paired with a DS970 headset. And contact names are displayed in the headset display without the need for third party software!

The only issue I have with it is that the Media Player has a bug with the handling of very long MP3 files. I like audiobooks and the player is not able to resume properly after pausing and closing it in the middle of a book. Instead most of the time it skips to the next MP3 file in the book.

And of course the infamous memory leak issue that SE never wanted to admit existed before ending firmware development. You need to reboot the phone at least once every second day to avoid the phone doing so on its own while you're in the middle of something.
[General Questions and Answers] owziee:
I've almost decided to keep the P990 and give him my HTC S710 now after I've been playing with the P990 for hours.

The P990 display is gorgeous and I've installed the Gdesk application and a WM6 design so it looks absolutely amazing and with swiss manager pro it's also very easy to close apps running in the background.

It's just that I'm afraid I will miss the whole WM community a lot!!! :(
[General Questions and Answers] owziee:
I forgot to mention I kept the S710 aswell so now I have both :)

The next day I asked him if I could buy his P990 instead because I wanted to keep my S710 and he sold it to me for only ~$150, I guess it was a bargain after all?!...

I've made my P990 look almost like WM6 using the gdesk shell app...

Dear Friends,

Please let me know if this post is in the wrong place.

I have an issue with my Moto G7 power, I restarted it and it asks for pattern access (to start up the phone and activate the finger print), I entered the pattern multiple times (I guess that I forgot my pattern) and it didn't accept it.

I tried to do the factory wipe, I can login to bootloader and when I select factory mode it will just boot again. And if I select recover mode then it shows a dead android with a red triangle and NO Command.

I would need your advice and guidance.

Thanks

I have just installed it and removed my old registered fingerprint as indicated in the changelog, however now I cannot add a new one.

I keep getting: "Make sure the fingerprint sensor is clean and dry, then try again." at 41%, well done Samsung..

Same problem her!

Did a factory reset to see if it solve the problem, but still the same.

Whats wrong with u samsung?? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] pulja9:
Hhahah same thing, now its not working at all :D
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePietn1:
Update

: I have contacted Samsung on Facebook but I did not yet receive a message from them, it seems like their support forum is also filled with complaints from users.

I got it working after a long time! After trying dozens of times, I was finally able to register my fingerprint again.

The trick is to hold your thumb straight on the scanner, just like in the picture that is shown above the scanner when adding a fingerprint.

It will take a long time (almost 5min for me), but after that it works fine even if you rotate your finger to unlock the phone.

For me personally it even works a little bit faster and it's much more accurate, it didn't miss my finger once anymore!
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlospaco:
Mine is working now very fast and good.

I will wait till tomorrow, and see if it stays like this.

I didnt have any problem, with this update.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bl4Ck R34Ct0r:
Here's what I have done:

1- remove all biometrics (face+fingerprints)

2- restart the device

3- register one fingerprint

everything is working perfect and it is much faster this time

(for people who get the message of clean the sensor/41% you just need to wipe it and hold well for the registration to go smooth)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] janzrokycan:
After today's second November update, the accuracy of reading the fingerprint sensor when inserting new fingerprints has been significantly reduced. Either the sensor constantly warns you that your finger must cover the entire area of the sensor or prompts you to clean your finger or the glass of the display. These problems mainly concerned my right thumb when the other fingers were able to enter the cecek without major problems. The whole desperate I tried the method described here on the forum already described somewhere and within the scope of one fingerprint I alternated on the sensor and four fingers of one hand. All I was surprised to find out that I have registered a total of eight fingers at once and everything works great. Please try it, it costs nothing, just a little time.

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] madd0g:
It's improved, but you need to be more careful with registering fingerprints. Cover the sensor fully and don't take the finger off immediately when the percentage rises.

Also don't delete all fingerprints at once. I have 3 fingerprints registered, one left hand, two right hand (same finger, for better accuracy, I'm right handed). When an update comes like this, remove one fingerprint, then readd the finger you deleted. You continue until all old fingerprints before update are deleted and you readded them all.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] de-coder:
I've done so, but cannot add new fingerprint. Waiting for answer from Samsung service. Better before update ...

Edit: now works up to 41% ... then less percent or message: sensor must be clean & restart
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bl4Ck R34Ct0r:

Removing the screen protector, removing face recognition and fingerprints then changing the position of the finger when not recognized plus patience works. No trouble unlocking afterwards.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] mudassarfa:
i had the same issue. so i removed my screen protector and re registered my finger print. its working fine now
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] felixdd:
Man...registering with screen protector on was VERY difficult. But once I struggled through it (I think it took me 15 minutes for 3 fingers total), it seems to be more accurate. Maybe it's my bias but it feels a BIT slower...whereas before as long as the screen was clean, it was very quick to either register, or refuse.

UPDATE: I change my mind. My phone sat unattended for 6 hours and when I tried to unlock it didn't work for any of my fingers. Even when I go into the test mode it would not detect any of my fingers. Cleaning the screen (which hadn't been used over those 6 hours) didn't help. After rebooting the scanner worked again.

By then I'd deleted one of my fingers, and it would keep telling me my finger wasn't covering the screen.

I think I like the October iteration better. It's less reliable but also much less fussy and didn't require a reboot to fix.
