[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] noob_coder:
:confused:

I have had no issues at all for almost an year with this phone. I was running oreo ever since I bought this phone. Suddenly, a day or two before upgrading it to pie 9.0, I found out in my Snapchat app that there was no back camera sign. First I thought, some weird snap update, but then I found out in system Camera app, it was even not showing the back camera. Whenever I would click on the rear camera sign from the top in Camera app, it would keep on swapping to the frontal secondary camera and then back to the primary frontal camera but no back camera was working. Also I found out that my Flashlight icon is hardened or greyed out, like it's been disabled forcefully. I can make it work using some other app, but it is frustrating why this is happening.

Now I am on android 9, rooted, and this problem keeps on coming and going. At times the back camera won't even work or open with the error "Camera not working" etc. Sometimes, the back camera would work but with only 3 weirded resolutions, like 12MP, 16MP, and some other. and the video mode will be extremely large or zoomed in at 16MP. Suddenly, the camera will start working normally again with all the perfect default resolutions. I tried everything from SAFE MODE to CLEARING THE CAM APP, RESETTING THE APP, but nothing works. All it seems like that camera has suddenly came to life and has a self-consciousness and a mood which it is controlling itself. Sometimes it wants to work and at times, it simply just gets disabled. Any idea what could be the problem? I am rooted using MAGISK.

Simular camera problems with Lenovo tab v7

I have a Lenovo tab v7 with almost the same problems, the rear camera wont work but occasionally the front camera works and the flash LED is dead.

Running Android 9 Pie as well, but not rooted yet.

Any ideas about what we can do about it, is the camera hardware due to be replaced?
[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] noob_coder:
It suddenly started happening almost a month ago, I was on oreo 8 and then upgraded to pie 9 but the problem persisted. It kept working for few days and then started to make problems again. I tried to read many forums for android users with the same problem but still haven't found a single complete fix for this problem other than that the rear camera needs to be refixed. But I am finding it hard to believe that even if camera was getting bad, there is no point of FlashLight getting greyed out/disable from the notification bar. It seems more like some kind of a process is not releasing the rear camera and flashlight module/process.

I was using the NavBar mod from GoodLock to add an extra button (open notification bar) to the classic navigation bar.

It doesn't work anymore with OneUI 2.

Anyone found a fix for this?

Is there any software available for TyTn II by which i can change or disable my number to others? Please rep.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] swtaltima:
settings/ blue phone icon/ services/ caller id/ get settings/ select who you want to see your, some, all, etc... No software required. Hope this helps
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ajs007:
Within the UK you can dial 141 before the number.

This way you can set individual contacts as private.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] GWelker62:
That would be to easy. Don't you have a more complicated solution, or maybe some over priced software you know of that would work?:rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] el_plebillo:
My phone doesn't have those settings.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] gthing:
They probably need to be enabled via a reg edit or advanced config
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ChInEsE ChIcKeN:
depending on the net work there is a code that you can dial in front of the number that would block your number from showing up on the caller IDs of other phones.

ex

for t mobile is #31#

for att is *67

for sprint its normally blocked by defualt

verizon i believe is *67

but if there was a program that would allow you to change or spoof your caller ID among other people it would be nice to have
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] robosiris:
Software to change your number ...

NO .... but there are services you can use to change how your number appears to others. "It's called Spoofing"

Software to disable your number .... (where are you located?)

No need for software .. chinese chicken's "how to" is correct (if you live in the states.) You also have the option to press the "green dial key" as though you were going to make a call, then "Menu", then "Options", then "Services", select "Caller ID" and hit "Get Settings", and then select either "everyone", "no one" or "only to contacts", and ok. soft reset to ensure the settings will stick. Hope this helps

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] itm:
I have a couple of spare batteries for my V20, but can't find an external battery charger that works. I've bought a couple that claim to be able to charge V20 batteries, but neither of them do.

Does anyone know of the charger that can be purchased in the UK which actually works?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/329...chweb0_0,searchweb201602_6,searchweb201603_53

I have both of these but they shipped china (on the slow boat 30+ days)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] itm:
The first one looks like one that I already have (and doesn't work). I haven't come across the 2nd one.

So have you tried them, or are you still waiting for them to be delivered?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jimjim79:
Like I say i have them both, they both work fine. The second one charges faster than the first but I like the small form factor of the first one linked, it's very good for travel.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] PhoneBill:
I'm using the LG OEM external charger in the US. It works great. It was sold only as a package including a new battery. I would be surprised if LG didn't make a version for the UK market. If they do, I would recommend it.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] itm:
Hmmm....odd that the first one doesn't work for me. There is a voltage from the pins on the charger but the neither of my batteries charges when I insert them (and I have even left them overnight).

I've ordered the 2nd one to see if it's any better.

LG did have the BCK-5200 charging kit for the V20, but it seems to be discontinued. It's certainly unavailable in the UK.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] itm:
So I received this charger this morning, and left a battery charging in it for 3 hours. The LED on the charger changed from blue to pink, but the battery didn't charge at all. I checked the pins with a multitester and the charger was delivering current, but the battery charge wasn't increasing.

Any ideas??
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cnjax:
Faulty batteries
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] itm:
What, all 4 of them? (I have tried charging 2 batteries in the new charger, and all 4 batteries in the other 2 chargers that I have bought and tried). None of the batteries have charged in any of the chargers.

All of them charge fine in the phone.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] kaluna00:
I've had the external battery charger from the first link for three years. Pretty much since the phone came out. It is always work for OEM and aftermarket batteries for me.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] itm:
Yes I also have that charger - it doesn't charge any of the batteries that I've tried with it (only 3 of my 4 batteries will physically fit into it, and none of them will charge).

I really can't work this out - how come these chargers work for others but not for me? Surely all 4 of my batteries can't be faulty, particularly when all 4 charge perfectly well when they are in the phone.

????
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] kaluna00:
The light is blue when it is not charging. And red when it is charging. You could try to check the voltage if you have a meter. Or it might be a faulty charger. Just to guess.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] itm:
Yes the light is blue on mine when I plug it in, then switches to pink when I insert a battery. I checked the voltage across the charger pins and it is 5V.

???
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] kaluna00:
And its not charging your batteries?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] itm:
Correct - the batteries are showing the same (or slightly lower) % charge after 2-3 hours left in the charger.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] kaluna00:
Maybe a bad charger... Sorry i can't help more.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] itm:
Hmmm....4 different chargers and 4 different batteries tried. This is really bizzarre :0(
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] kaluna00:
What Adapter are you using? I normally use a 5 Volt 2 Amp output adapter.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] itm:
I've tried two power sources - one is 5V 2A, the other is 5V 2.4A.

Is it possible that the batteries are actually being charged, but that the phone isn't reporting the correct level of charge when the batteries are inserted?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] kaluna00:
Try to leave one in over night and see if the light on the charger goes back to blue.

I just spoke to someone at UKPhoneShop who resell T-Mobile contracts and they said they should have the MDA Compact IV from the 30th of June. Therefore from the 30th of June T-mobile will be selling the MDA Compact IV, there's some contracts that are definitely available from UKPhoneShop but the 12month contracts haven't been confirmed by T-mobile yet.

http://www.ukphoneshop.com/T-Mobile/contract/mobile-phones/MDA-Compact%20IV/2255/index.html
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] feridoun:
Looks good.

Have you seen anyone else selling it? Do you think the will be the first to get the mda compact iv?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] thakidc:
Be weary, the features are the diamonds, maybe they jus didnt switch them yet but its says its 11.5mm thick amd 4gig of internal memory those are diamond specs.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] feridoun:
According to pdadb, the mda has 4gb too, but you're right the thickness should be 11.3mm.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Harts@J:
It could have different back cover as the O2 Xda diamond has.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] selspiero:
sounds good if it is going to be the 30th, although i dont think it will be the MDA - as people have said it will be a diamond with a t-mobile contract.

I'm not expecting the actual MDA until end of july

*crosses fingers that it is the 30th*
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] P996:
Before you guys consider going for the T-Mobile version of the Touch Diamond, be aware that it looks completely different and not really in a positive way if you ask me.

Even the O2 version looks slightly different but not by much.

I saw the MDA Compact IV during a presentation and compared to the Touch Diamond, I would even call it UGLY, so buyer beware.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mr_Ray:
11.5mm... 11.3mm... You'd need a micrometer to tell the difference tbh. We're not talking Diamond vs. Pro here.

Personally I like the Compact IV's hardware looks (of course pink TF3D looks like a duck's behind, but that's why we're here, to get rid of stuff like that), so that doesn't bother me. The more rounded profile vs. square edged Diamond makes up for the loss of the fancy battery cover.

What does bother me is giving up the £5/month discount you get buying from T-Mob direct for the sake of getting it a week earlier. If all I cared about was getting a Diamond a week or two early at the expense of price I would have paid Expansys' 500% markup on a grey import.

Supposedly it'll be on T-Mob's site by the 6th, I think I can wait.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Deleted member 368662:
I spoke to the guy on the phone and he was very adoment about how the Mda Compact IV will be better than the diamond because it will be tuned for the network. They're just reselling a Tmobile contract so I'm pretty sure they are getting the MDA Compact IV.

They're not one of the people who sell any phone with any contract, they re-sell the proper Tmob contracts.

mr_Ray, where did you hear Tmob will have it on the 6th?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] selspiero:
Just in case you hadnt seen these - i dont think it is much different... more rounded def..

oh, and we are taliking UK right?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] razoruk1974:
Think it will be worth hanging on for the T-Mobile MDA compact iV. Hopefully early July.

There could quite well be another ROM improvement. Also the Route 66 Sat Nav 7 day trial is worth having before you buy it out right.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] feridoun:
I spoke to the shop, they are indeed selling the T-mobile compact iv.

Date wise it depends but it looks like v early july. or perhaps sooner depending in t-mobile themselves.

As for the tariff, I can't see any evidence that the tariffs will be any better directly from retail, especially as you get cash-back from buying online?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] damiantmc:
1st of july is its supposed release date on the system
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Deleted member 368662:
Just called the upgrade department again and spoke to someone who didn't sound like he knew anything about the phone, by the fact he tried to push "normal" phones on me :p He said it still says coming soon

damiantmc, is there any information on pricing yet?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] gazzrenn:
Just called T-Mobile web sales 3 times and got 3 different answers...

1. Lady - clueless - "sorry, i dont know"

2. Man - semi clueless - "we don't get told due dates"

3. Man - switched on - "its on our internal system as coming soon, i cant give you an exact date but i'd guess at about the end of next month"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] finesse:
LOL I got the same answers

I guess July is the month, but knowing t-mobile it will be September/October just like the MDA Compact III
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] finesse:
If the Diamond is retailing at £420+ what will the HTC Touch Pro cost?:rolleyes::confused:

i work for tmobile l+r and it is indeed early july although no confirmed date yet, dieing to get one tho looks nice
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] aiwama:
Totally agree! Last week I was rang by T-Mobile and told that the phone was "coming out only on July 14th because it was going through some testing". But, once it came out in Germany, there was no more justifications for delays. T-Mobile is a German company - if they release a mobile phone there, surely it can be used in the UK. Cannot see what is that different between both networks (it is different if you compare the US, though). And then all the contraditory information T-Mobile UK gives to customers. How come people working for the same company say so different things when answering a simple inquiry. Any manager at T-Mobile who does not make their staff (dealing with customers) aware of the Compact IV's existence should be living in another galaxy. Orange and Vodafone are laughing all the way to the bank. Oh, how many people went for the crapy iPhone today just because they waited and waited and got tired of doing so. Pull yourselves together T-Mobile!!!:mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] :
I think a lot of people may have already left for Orange. Yesterday i rung them up about 9PM because i wanted to get my PAC Code, i went through all the optios to get to the cancellation department and was told there would be up to a 20 minute wait. I found that funny, so many people cancelling on the day Orange release the Diamond that there call centre can't handle it :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] molesza:
Just spoke to upgrades and they said that T-mobile are still actively testing the phone. She said that there is a little to no chance of it being released on monday. Apparently they are not happy with the performance of the phone with the current ROM it is running. She seemed to know what she was talking about but who knows.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] moorack:
they had a working version of the compact at the t-mobile shop here. (i live in holland)

they diid not sell it but it was for show. i played around a little bit with it and finaly got my awnser about how much ram it has.

for the people who are intrested the mda compact i had in my hands today had 192MB of ram

greetz
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] aiwama:
Fair enough! If the phone is not ready they should carry on testing it (I just cannot get how the Germans sorted out all the problems and the Brits are not able to) BUT should also not tell people that it will be out on July 14th - if they know they cannot make it! If this is a customer retention strategy I think it is a silly one - and it is backfiring on their faces. T-Mobile needs to do three things: 1) inform their staff about what is going on and what to say to customers making inquires, 2) put a "coming soon" page on their website ASAP and 3) stop behaving like arrogant, incompetent, stupid, not-a-clue-in-a-million-years bufoons!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mattfn:
I'm well out of my 18 month contract now and getting fed up with waiting for the Compact IV. Can't understand how they have managed to release in Germany 2 weeks ago but can't get things sorted in the UK. I'm gonna give t-mobile till Wed then I'm off to Orange. :mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rkde:
Gave up and went with Oange! 650 mins unlimited texts, unlimited (500MB) data, traded in an old phone, took it over 24 months. Total £0.00 for the phone, £25.84 for the contract and £4.00 for extra data of 1500MB per month. total £29.84 * 24. So my next HTC will be purchased off line...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] spangelsaregreat:
Hi,

What contract is that on? How did you get unlimited data for less than £30? Most of the threads I have read so far seem to suggest that new customers won't get what some of the upgraders have got at Orange.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] allalps:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] darthbane2k:
I was told £89 if taken with 18 month combi 30 and web n walk, but could be negotiated to around £50 or £60 depending on spending history.

Tell you the truth, they're probably making it up as they go along, and I would personally insist they match the Orange deal of £39.99 - no more.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] spangelsaregreat:
That would be my intention, afterall there will be five networks in the UK (T-Mob, Orange, Vodaphone, O2 & 3) all providing the Diamond.

Play them off each other for the best deal.

Negotiations

I have just managed to negotiate the MDA compact IV for free on Flext 30 with WnW along with a 25% retention discount, works out to just over £28pm. You have to work them hard and you'll be able to negotiate. I was told that I can't order the phone today but they save the negotiated bundle on your account for 10 days. Agent told me that they would be accepting orders come Mon/Tue this week so to call back then to take up the offered deal with a view to getting deliveries out by the end of the week. Looks like we may actually be getting somewhere :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] spangelsaregreat:
The guy I spoke to didn't make any attempt to offer a deal until the device had been released. Good to hear what that offer you have had, its about what I would want.
