Hi, i have a question about the speakers, i recently went to a shop and got a screen protector that is applyed with a gel, i said to the them to be carefull so the gel wont get in the speakers, they replayed its ok that the gel doesnt harm, when they removed the bubles and gel from the under the screen they scrape it in the direction of the speaker on the top of the phone, the " ear speaker " , after they finished the job i tested the speakers with a song, the top speaker sounded less powefull then the bottom one, i arrived home give it a little hair dryer so the gel evaporate faster then i let stay in a game to heat for 2 hours ( they recommand that i charge it or let so the phone heat up and the gel stick and dry) , after 3 hours i tested with another phone were i installed a sound metter, and that confirmed that my top speaker was 10db less then the bottom one, it is normal or they just "broke" my top speaker ? ( Can some1 test this with a sound metter to see if the top speaker has a 10 db difference then the bottom one ? )

thank you.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Sorry bro, I don't have a sound meter but the speakers sound the same volume up close to my ear...
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Hmminteresting:
They're the same from what I can tell.

Yeah I don't notice any difference in the speaker volumes. I think they may have damaged it.

Also no decent/ standard screen protector has gel? I'm not sure what they put on your device. My advice would be to go back and have it removed, and to investigate with asus support for damage after they remove the screen protector, the phone should still be covered by warranty.

If you're lucky, the gel may have shrunk a little on drying, so you might be able to clean the speaker grille with a fine bristled toothbrush.

Be very careful though. If you have access to a magnifying glass, that'd help.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Adarsh21:
I recently got my hands on a moto g5 plus(Indian Variant). The first thing I did was use a toolkit that I saw on some YouTube video to unlock my bootloader. I successfully unlocked my bootloader and flashed Twrp but was not able to turn on my phone ie was stuck in bootloop. I thought as I had twrp working I should just flash a ROM . I successfully installed an android pie ROM. Later while using the ROM I started facing problems. Problems like scrolling was very fast on instagram or chrome. Also while playing Pubg mobile the screen would just rotate and sometimes the joystick would get stuck,etc.

I changed 3-4 ROMs and now I am on Arrow OS android 10 and still facing the scrolling very fast issue.Also if I reset my phone ie wiping data the scrolling issue is fixed for sometime then later it becomes very fast. Plz help me out here guys.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ultimatepichu:
Hi guys,

I need help with the GPS on my Pixel3XL. Since first Android 10 (and even in Q betas) I observed issue but I mostly ignored it. Then I realized it messed up my location history so I'm posting here so that anyone can help me before I try reach out to google.

The situation is: If I am in a building (without GPS signal) and Google Location Accuracy is "off", my location will show that I'm in a place where I mocked to back when I first tried Q Beta 3. I checked with app GPS Status that such thing happens only when I don't have GPS signal. The worst part is, this location survived multiple full wipes, as well as observable even with fresh install and without signing in anything during initial setup of my Pixel 3XL.

It always go to that exact place. I live in Taiwan, but that location is in Malaysia, where I mocked to once. See attachment, which was a typical day when I was doing nothing on the phone.

But if I'm outside with GPS signal, then everything works normally.

Any idea what can I do? So far these are tried but failed:

1. Fresh install without signing in Google Account

2. Cleared storage and cache of gMaps when this happens

3. Replaced sensor folder in persist (yea I had the corrupted persist folder issue)

Ok, I have been browsing this forum for a solution to my problem and none seem too specific, at least for my BA wm6.

Here is the problem: I just received a dual sim adapter (the one that needs cutting) -both sims work fine. I can't get them to switch from one sim to the other from my phone. power on/off and flight mode won't do it either. I tried phone alarm, dual sim switcher, and wivit. They don't work for my phone. I also have a wm2003 se BA and tried it on there and I was only to get the dual sim to switch once. So now the dual sim is stuck on SIM2. So it doesn't matter which phone I use I can only use the sim that is on the SIM 2 slot! Blah!!

What I need: A program, or anything to switch my SIMs for my BA wm6. I don't want to keep taking out my sim and open the sim adapter and switch the two sims all the time.

Edit: after fooling around with my 2003se BA I managed to get the Dual Sim Manager to work again, and I noticed that despite switching SIMS, phone information alway display the default SIM. Does this mean that it is not switching? Does this mean that it does switch but the phone does not display it? If latter is the case then I am in big trouble! One SIM has unlimited internet and texting and other one is just a basic plan. Please help! I don't want a surprise bill!

Edit: Sorry, I needed an answer so I'm feverishly testing this crap out. And the answer is yes the sim changes but the phone does not display so. The trick I used is texting my account info and voila! Two different accounts! So, now over to my wm6 BA and check that out
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] jakubd:
I'm really surprised, that people are so patient to fight with such an uneffective and clumsy device as dual SIM adapter: you have to cut/destroy those SIM cards, then you have to pray that i works with your phone...

I really think, that if you really need to use 2 SIMcards, why not buying a 2nd phone, or just a special phone with 2 radios and for 2 SIMs.

And please don't tell me it's "for comfort" - dualSIM is antiComfort...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] HDuser:
There are other solutions that you don't need to cut the sim, one that I have seen is the addapter is placed in the sim slot and the simm are part of the battery pack.

Bottom line is that that one sucks as well.

I feel there is a valid need in my line of work were I would need at least 3 laptops to support the Builds of my customers however VMWare gets me by fine.

As for the phone, I need 2, carry 2 and hate it.

So I would be a buyer if there was anything around worth having. (which as I still have a BA seems not the case).

Dual Sim Problem

Hi pharmeceutikle,

I wonder how this device works for BA at all!

I tried an adapter like yours of a friend of mine and it just doesn't work with my BA.After inserted, I don't see any new menu for it and when I restart the BA, it shows invalid sim message at startup. I have installed a WM6.1 ROM downloaded at this site [20749 (Build 20749.1.4.0 PV DVH) - v13] and my radio version is 1.12 (by the way, it was 1.15 but 1.12 is the only one that worked fine for my device). The same adapter, once installed on a Motorola phone of my friend works pretty fine! so, it's not a problem with the adapter, I guess...

Did you change anything on registry? could you please tell me how did you proceed since cutting the sims until you got it to work, please?

Many thanks!:)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] pharmeceutikle:
This dual sim adapter only works if you have a working STK ROMs. I believe I used Helmi's original wm6 as one of them and then I went to others but I can't quite remember which. I posted an experiment with the all the ROMS I used awhile ago so just do a search under my name. Anyways, I couldn't get it to switch sims normally so I had to reset the damn thing all the time. I would go to the STK menu and choose either sim 1 or 2 and then quit out and then reset my phone for it to make the change which really is a pain. As soon as my second sim ran out I just tossed the infernal thing and stuck one sim per phone! Sorry couldn't be much more of a help.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] JFLB:
Thanks

Thanks anyway:) I'll keep searching for a while.

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] TeddyGoneWild:
I am trying to revive my old z2 force t-mo edition. It basically crashed after an OTA and lost baseband and IMEI and i threw in in a drawer for months.

I tried flashing newest firmware-nothing, i tried unlocking bootloader and flashing second new firmware-nothing. The device does turn on--just no data, no wifi etc. I'm not too familiar with blankflashing, is this something i can even do with a device that turns on? Will that even work? Moto assistant says they are "unable to verify a match" when i pick repair device and select XT1789-04. Does anyone else have anything else to try? I have not rooted, have not installed pie firmware or anything. Long story short, im now in need of a working phone so i just want to get this working again!

Hi guys,

I got a spare European S6 and I want to load a custom ROM.

I used to flash ROM on Nexus S and workflow was simple and easy (unlocked BL -> flash TWRP -> flash ROM).

So, I am not a noob to flashing but new to Samsung devices.

I'd like to have an up-to-date help on steps to follow... I heard about Samsung devices have kind of security to bypass...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoseCaique:
Hello,

To install any custom ROM on Samsung devices, you will need to do:

- Install custom boot

- ROOT (phone unlock to engineer mode)

I highly recommend TWRP and Magisk.

it doesn't last long , editing the contacts , or receiving few calls, it shuts down..

is it a battery problem..?i had it for 2 years ,and my wiled guess is that battery life is over..but i cant be sure about it.:confused:

its a vodafone v1640 , unlike the UK site, the Italian site does not give any upgrading options.

so,if you are Italian , and you have the new rom..would you write me..?

As far as I can tell you have two unlock states. You can't use the power button to wake and then use the fingerprint sensor to unlock you can only use the fingerprint sensor to wake and unlock.

If you use the power button to wake then you have to use the pin method to unlock. This is what I've found.

I've had problems with previous updates either lost functionality all together or sporadic usage.

Its nore more accurate than I ever remember.
[Sony Xperia 5 Questions & Answers] djfuego:
Having lived with this for almost 2 years it looks like a combo of hardware and software. IE the software driver doesn't work fast enough to recognise the fingerprint and will occasionally miss a beat. I re-program after updating firmware updates and depending on how big the update is/ Security based and find I have to wipe fingerprints and PIN/Password too, for the fingerprint sensor to be re-discovered and then use the pre-setup program app which I have to use slowly 2 seconds between detections otherwise the app fails to detect the sensor and stops working again so I have to reboot the phone to re-detect and start programming the next fingerprint.

This handset has a bad fingerprint driver/app for the latest Android me thinks.
