[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] blueice5249:
I need some help getting some things off my old phone that has a screen that doesn't work. I was on vacation not too long ago and my Moto Z Force bit the dust, just wouldn't turn on anymore. I knew I needed a new phone and was having problems with it, most notably the battery. All my stuff was on there, including my boarding passes to get home, so I stopped by a Verizon in Hawaii and bought the most expensive souvenir I'll ever buy on vacation. All was well and good until recently, when I forgot about getting things I need off the phone, both things for my business and personal stuff.

Long story short, I tried to replace the battery myself and totally ****ed up the screen in the process. The battery works and the phone now turns on, I can occasionally hear it start up and feel it vibrate if I keep playing with things. But the screen is a complete loss, mostly due to my lack of patience and insistence on using too much force. The ribbon is actually intact, but the screen itself is not. I didn't have debugging on because an app I use requires it to be off, but my computer does recognize the phone and charges it. I'm open to buying a new screen if need be, but I'd like to make sure it would work before I spend the money. Occasionally the phone will keep vibrating every few seconds, but that seems to have gone away now. The screen will also show random white or green lines if the phone is on and you bend it or twist it a certain way.

How can I get things off of it without the screen?

If this is in the wrong section, I apologize.

Ever since I updated to Android 10, I can consistently recreate this issue. Any time I turn on my GPS, I will immediately lose mobile data, signified by loss of data service and by the exclamation point on the service/signal bars of the toolbar. A quick toggle of Airplane Mode will re-enable the data. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RASTAVIPER:
Did u have a factory reset before upgrading to Android 10?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] orion_134:
No, it was an OTA and I don't recall reading that being a requirement for the update nor it being an option. Was that an option for others?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] ptisam:
I think I managed to find a workaround which doesn't involve a factory reset for the same issue on my OnePlus 6T:

Settings -> System -> Reset options -> Reset app preferences (this doesn't affect apps data)

Settings -> Apps & notifications -> See all XXX apps -> (3 dots in the upper right corner) -> Show system -> Clear storage and cache of the following apps:

Google Maps

Google Play services

Google Services Framework

LocationServices

Phone Services

Fused Location

Google Location History

OPMmsLocation

I wiped Dalvik cache in TWRP.

I'm not sure all steps are necessary but resetting apps preferences is the key one I think. It's going to reset the permissions of all apps but it's a good alternative to reinstall everything from scratch. The issue of the GPS fix in Google Maps hasn't come back for me since.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RASTAVIPER:
It's not a requirement but for sure helps with 90% of problems like yours.

Most of the issues with bt, gps, mobile data etc can happen because of big updates and usually it helps to have a clean system.

I have found any straight answers about this. I found a few links that linked to info about getting custom cursors to work for TT7, but nothing applied to the Tilt or any smartphones. I've tried downloading and adding the missing art folder to my sim. I've tried downloading TT Explorer but it doesn't recognize my device. Anyone solve this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] kyphur:
put the art folder in the same folder as TomTom (the executable)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] DJ Hellfire:
Thanks got it working!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] strikeone:
good call - it works here!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] gauntman:
You can also use TTHome to download free custom cars from TT or use it to transfer you own image.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] over2land:
I've been trying to figure this one out too.

What size and file type does the art need to be?

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] kyphur:
256 color bmp, either 48 x 48, 64 x 64, 96 x 96 or 128 x 128

Use RED for Transparent Color.

see attached example

whats the folder supost to be called? i cant seem to get it to pick it up.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] mylok:
the art\cars folder can also be created in the root of your memory card.

Does anyone know how to select the default car image once you have changed to another image? The only way i can change it back to the default car symbol is to remove the art\cars folder.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] DJ Hellfire:
One of the car packages I found online came with a Skyline and a default blue arrow. I don't know if linking is allowed, so I won't. I don't remember where I got it anyway. Just do a google search on Tomtom car symbols and you will find it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] DJ Hellfire:
Double click mobile device, then double click Storage Card, now past the Art folder right in here. Inside the art folder will be another folder named cars. This is where you will store your customs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] DJ Hellfire:
All of mine are 80 x 80. An online tutorial I found also mentioned the Red should be RGB 255,000,000 whatever that means.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] kyphur:
That RGB is "True" Red not light/dark red or cyan etc.

The sizes I listed are what was recommended in a TomTom forum discussing it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Ethania:
the full path for a touch pro is:

\Minneskort\Program\Navigator\art\cars

you have to create folders: "art" and "cars"

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 4w56hjes5h:
Not sure if there's anyone left who browses this forum, but I guess it never hurts to try. If there's a better place to post this nowadays, please let me know!

I have been using my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch for about 9 years now. I never messed around with rooting or installing any custom stuff.

I don't remember what version of Android it was using; I'd assume it was whatever the latest official version was.

Last night, I was reading an ebook on my phone; nothing out of the ordinary. Phone seemed fine. Battery was at about 75% or so.

And then, for no discernible reason, the phone froze and became unresponsive. I tried rebooting, and when I did, a screen came up asking for a "PIN or password to access the encrypted device memory" or something like that.

I had never seen anything like that screen before.

I tried restarting again, but this time, the phone just straight up would not power on. The device's status/power light was a steady blue, not blinking.

If I held down the power button for about 5 seconds, the light would briefly turn off and then go right back to the steady blue. The phone's screen remained blank.

I tried using a different battery, but it made no difference. The phone simply wouldn't boot at all and would not give any indication that it was accepting a charge. I tried holding down the volume buttons and home button in addition to the power button, but it made no difference. Couldn't even get the Samsung splash screen.

I tried connecting it to the USB port of my laptop and desktop PC. Neither device could detect the phone.

So, I'm left wondering, did my phone just suddenly "brick" itself or experience a sudden hardware failure? Is there anything I can do to salvage my phone?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] Pablo_AK47:
Hello friends!

I come with a big problem that happened to me a few days ago, I flashed the Android10 rom of Xiaomi.eu but in that process I accidentally lost my persist.img partition and practically ruined my phone:crying: (DON'T FLASH THE WEEKLY OF XIAOMI.EU YET WITHOUT PERSIST BACKUP) the gyroscope and compass of my phone are not working and I lost my Netflix L1 certification, I am having a hard time.

So I think I have a solution to this and is to have made a backup of my persist.img partition (which I did not do and it was my mistake) could someone bring me a TWRP backup of a persist partition of yours? to restore it on my phone and test if that way I can revive my compass, gyroscope and L1 .. it would help me a lot and I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks in advance from El Salvador!

It is the first time I try to upload something, I hope I have achieved it and also, I hope it serves you
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] eeemmmbiz:
- EU rom is based on the chinese ROM, your device will get L3, not possible currently to get L1 with EU.

- Don't use anyone's persist partition, it can make things worse. Download the fastboot ROM for the Mi 9 lite, extract it and find the persist file and then flash that one.

My suggestion is to wipe everything in TWRP, flash persist file and then flash EU ROM. If you're having problems no choice but to flash fastboot ROM and start fresh.

hi

persist.img is not allowed to be flashed by fastboot even if the bootloader is unlocked. there is a specific technique to do that with TWRP. Falshing the whole firmware will not resolve the problem

[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] eeemmmbiz:
That's not what I said, I said he can flash persist.img through twrp, but to get the persist file I suggested he download the fastboot rom, extract it and use the persist.img found inside. I had the same issue and even after flashing the correct persist.img it wasn't working, I had to wipe everything in TWRP, flash persist.img and flash the rom again for it to work correctly.

My friend, I tried with backup but not worked :( I have another idea: the folder metod ^^ can you with a file explorer copy the /persist folder and share me as you did with backup? I will thank you very much :)
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] lukas.inbox:
Which TWRP version you used to do that ?

Can you post step by step how to erase "everything" in TWRP and then flash fastboot ROM ?

What do you mean by wipe everything ??

So many people mess with loss of gyroscope etc. and they can't fix it. Online solutions with using terminal commands in TWRP to flash persist.img do not work. Nothing happens.

Cheers !
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] iwestfall7062:
I just started receiving the error "Bluetooth keeps stopping" on my Pixel 3 XL a week ago. It comes and goes seemingly completely at random, sometimes clicking close app will work and other times it will just keep coming back over and over until I restart my phone. It's a huge problem because it takes my wifi and sometimes I think even my mobile data down with it. I've read a bunch of posts and it seems like many people have been having this issue.

I've tried turning off Wi-fi and Bluetooth scanning.

updating Google Play system update.

Clearing cache and storage of Bluetooth.

resetting every bluetooth device I own

Factory Reset

sideloading an OTA image

Flashing a factory image

I'm all out of ideas. The only thing I can come up with is it's a hardware issue, but generally hardware issues I run into are not so sporadic and random. Usually it's either broke, or not broke. It doesn't seem to correlate to how hot the phone gets. I feel like Google broke something with an Android update. I've tried to warranty it through Google but I purchased it new on Ebay and they want the original purchasers name, email and order number. Anyone know of a way around that for Google's warranty?

As a last ditch effort I just flashed the Sep 18th Android 9 factory image, crossing my fingers that for some reason that does something.

My only other idea is google has driver binaries posted for pixel devices. Do these binaries get written over/rolled back when the factory image is flashed? Or are they isolated and not touched when flashing a factory image? Could flashing new driver binaries fix the problem? If so, does anyone have a guide on how to flash the driver binaries, google gives documentation for sideloading the OTA or flashing factory images, but nothing for how to install the driver binaries.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] billyt1:
Try flashing the dec/Jan build then lock bootloader then start phone as normal setup then unlock bootloader. There's also some Bluetooth settings in the developer ootions. Also check battery settings for the app maybe try turning off optizmation for it. There's also a setting somewhere that will let you turn off the ble236a scan it's always on mine new pair list. But the drivers are usually flash with the update or ota. I needed to flash those when flashing Dirty Unicorns. Fastboot flash vendor_a vendor.img and same for vendor_b believe the other is the radio img you would need to extract them with 7zip if using Windows.

Mine did this as well but I was using naptime,and servicly to kill and or deep sleep quicker. Which is what made me think of the battery optizmation
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jd1639:
Just a precaution, as soon as you start locking and unlocking bootloader you're going to be doing a complete wipe of your device. So backup before hand. You'll also want to do a complete install of the factory image, with the wipe option, before you attempt to lock the bootloader. If you lock the bootloader and you are not 100% stock of something goes wrong you could end up with an expensive paper weight.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] iwestfall7062:
The error happened once immediately after a full factory image flash before I had downloaded a single program or changed a single setting, so I don't see how it could be bluetooth settings, battery optimization, wifi/bluetooth scanning, or a rogue app. Oddly enough, since posting this last night I've managed to go 12 hours without an errors after flashing the Sept 2018 factory image. buuuuuuuut now I'm afraid to upgrade to Android 10 again.

Thank you for making sure I understood this. Yeah, I generally factory reset my phone and laptop once a year so I always back everything up before a reset. And yeah, I haven't changed anything from stock on this phone since I've had it, so unlocking and locking the bootloader should never cause any issues. As I told Billy, the Sept 2018 image seems to have fixed the problem, fingers crossed.

Is it probable that upgrading once again to Android 10 will cause the issue to return? The Sept 2018 image must have changed an internal setting or driver that wasn't functioning properly.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jd1639:
I can't tell you for sure, but i would think the latest firmware should work. There have been a number of Bluetooth fixes since the original firmware, which it appears you're on now. That, and lots of security fixes.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] iwestfall7062:
Yeah, I mean I would much prefer being on Android 10 and having the latest updates, I normally update as soon as they come out. But, given that I flashed the Jan 2020 image and bluetooth was still broken, and then flashed the Sep 2018 which seems to have fixed it, I'm hesitant to go back to the Jan 2020 updates. Kind of tending towards the if it isn't broken, don't fix it philosophy right now. If I had time to monkey around with my phone all the time I wouldn't mind, but the semester just started and I use my phone for everything at school so I don't really have time for it to be not working. >.< Such an odd issue and odd fix.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wangdaning:
Looks hardware related, like the cable is loose.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] iwestfall7062:
And it's continuing to happen even with the Sept 2018 factory image flash.

Why do you think it's hardware related and that a cable is loose when a reboot fixes it? If the cable is loose a reboot shouldn't fix it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jd1639:
What do you have Bluetooth connected to when it happens?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] iwestfall7062:
Nothing. It doesn't matter whether anything is connected or not. It literally happened on first boot up of a fresh flashed Jan 2020 factory image, before I had put a single thing on the phone.

Generally I have my Fitbit Versa connected, I got 2 tiles awhile ago, but first troubleshooting thing I did was remove the app and delete those from bluetooth since those were my latest additions to bluetooth. I have backbeat fit headphones I use sometimes, the same with bose soundlink ii headphones, ps4 controllers, a jbl pulse 3, my car radio. But I factory restored all of those items so they weren't trying to connect to my phone, and then flashed the factory image. So I don't see how it has anything to do with an actual bluetooth connection.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] JJT211:
Im having this same exact issue. Android 9 was always super smooth. It all started with the Android 10 update. I was having all kinds of Radio related (wifi/bluetooth/data) issues ever since. I noticed sometime in Nov/Dec that google released some kind of radio system app update and things got a little better. But I still have the Bluetooth problem (like today, which prompted me to find this thread) or every once in a while ill lose all data connectivity and have to reboot my phone for everything to come back. I LOVE the dark theme, but this has to be the worst Android update from a stability standpoint ive ever experienced.

Just want you to know it isnt just you. Its something to do with some phones on Android 10
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] iwestfall7062:
Yeah, I wish this thread held a solution for you. I've searched and searched and tried every solution I've found on google and nothing has worked, and really none of the threads I have found have ever had a concrete solution either, just one or two people going "well I did THIS and it worked", and a bunch of people saying it didn't work for them. I just cannot fathom how a full factory flash back to the very first image would not revert the changes that came with Android 10. That's why I was questioning whether or not a factory flash replaces driver binaries. It's the only way I could see the factory flash to Sept 2018 not fixing our issue. (Other than it really being a hardware issue, but that doesn't seem possible to me.)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] JJT211:
Oh wow, you're still having same issues on Android 9??

Im still on Android 10, most recent update. I did do a full factory flash a few weeks ago and it was quite the improvement. But I still do have the Bluetooth/radio issue every once in a while, like yesterday.

I wonder if it's a hardware issue and/or substandard hardware performance that Android 10 made more prevalent? That's something we'll probably never know
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wangdaning:
I only pointed to hardware as I had a similar issue years ago. The radio connections were slightly loose so it would come and go. I do hope you are able to figure out what is wrong, was not trying to be rude.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] iwestfall7062:
Oh no, I didn't think for a second you were being rude. And I appreciate your idea, just with what I'm experiencing with my specific phone it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue.

Strangely enough, the issue has been tapering off as of late, after the factory resets I just continued to use my phone while I wait to figure out if I can get a refund or a warranty replacement, etc. The issue has been occurring with much less frequency since then. Still happens, but not like it was.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] JJT211:
Damn, the Bluetooth bug is back again. It was so bad the other day, my phone kept bootlooping for like 20 mins while I was on the road.

I finally just let phone sit for a while and it fixed itself. Man this is completely sporadic.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] iwestfall7062:
Yeah, mines been better for like 4 days, and then it just crashed and rebooted by itself earlier today.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] damngood98:
has anyone gotten to the bottom of this yet? it seems to be a result of the play store system update being "stuck" on Sept 1st...even if you get it to download to the current version, currently March 1st, after a reboot it will not show the March update has been applied. And should it actually show that the March update has been applies, within a day the phone will reboot and the bluetooth bug will return, strangely the update to the play store system reverts to Sept 1st.

I'm having this issue with my son's phone. I tried unlocking the bootloader and flashing the factory img from April but of course the bug is still there, and after signing in the Play Store system is of course dated Sept 1st
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] iwestfall7062:
There is no fix. I made an official Android Issue Tracker thread.

and a Google Pixel Phone Help thread.

https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/32828289?hl=en

Google's being ****ty about it. I eventually just bought a new Pixel 4 XL. I needed a functional phone for school and work, and as much as I hate to spend money on another Google product after this mess, they do make the most powerful pure android phones with the best camera. Ebay FTW, $600, never giving them another penny directly.

If you still have warranty, get it warrantied immediately, and don't take no for an answer. I dawdled around thinking it would get fixed and even though I reported that I was having issues with it directly to Google's phone support BEFORE the warranty expired, by the time I called a second time and pushed a manager to see if they could warranty it, my warranty had expired so they told me to go jump in a lake.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] damngood98:
to make it worse, Google told me the phone still has an extended warranty but I'm not the original owner and have no way to contact that individual. But you need that person's email address for it to work. So it was purchased but because of this technicality it's null and void. I get the security of it but it's still garbage
