[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AgentFrost:
Hello, everyone,

Unfortunately, something "bad" happened to us two days ago.

My wife still has an "old" Samsung Galaxy S7 without root and with the actual standard rom.

Instead of copying the pictures and videos (the first 6 months of our child's life), we moved the data.

Now we have JPEG and movie files on the PC, but they show as 9 GB each (but they only occupy a 4kb block on the disk) - With the HEX editor I could see that except a block of 4KB it contains only 0-byte "info".

Unfortunately a recovery with tools like "Recuva" does not work, because the device is not recognized as a mass storage device (even in USB debug mode).

Other free tools which supposedly recover files on the device without root have not found any data.

Do you have an idea how we can recover the photos and videos?

We switched off the mobile phone for safety reasons, so that nothing is "overwritten" by mistake. Or a TRIM-mechanism for damage to the possibly still existing data fragments so called

My root experience with Android unfortunately dates back to the "KitKat" age and at that time, as far as I remember, the data had to be wiped after the root process.

In general, we are have no Problem, if there is no other possibility to root the device to try out local data recovery tools?

Do you have any ideas how we can somehow recover the really emotionally important data?

Thank you very much for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Can you still access the photos on the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AgentFrost:
I'm afraid not.

We have transferred the photos with "move" instead of "copy".

From the perspective of the phone, the files were successfully transferred, even if they arrived corrupted on the Windows system.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Well all that would have been moved is a folder with all the files in. Windows should be able to open jpegs and videos easily. You possibly didn't move the correct folder.

Download Samsung USB drivers for your pc and install them.

Connect phone, wait for Windows to show in folder panel then choose allow data transfer on the phone itself.

You can then explore the various folders on the phone.

Vidoes and pictures are stored in the DCIM folder on the phone or SD card. Sometimes in folder called "Pictures".

It's highly unlikely you've lost those files if all you did was move the folder.

Even move the folder on the pc back to the phone where it came from?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AgentFrost:
The photos have been transferred from the DCIM folder to a Windows PC.

However, there seem to have been problems during the transfer, as the files in Windows are each over 9GB in size (over 5TB of photos and videos in total) - this can't be right, of course. In the file properties of Windows it is shown that the 9GB file only takes up 4KB of space on the hard disk. Even when i inspect one of those files with an HEX-Viewer i can see, that there is only a 4KB -Data Block at the End of the .jpeg file with no content.

As I said, it looks like the files were somehow badly damaged during transfer. And the phone thinks that the files have been moved successfully and accordingly the files are no longer findable in the Android file system or, as usual when moving, deleted from the source.

Since Windows believes that a file alone is 9GB, we are not able to transfer the file back to the device.

Is there any way to restore the files on the Android device?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Only if you set it to back up with the Google account which stores a copy of all photos video and files.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AgentFrost:
Sadly no Cloud Backup of the files.

That's why we already tried to recover the files with Recuva (which doesn't work because of the missing USB mass storage mode) and other tools.

In the meantime I have also read that a recovery of data on the mobile phone only works with root access.

Hi, Android system is taking 30% battery. Is it normal? Or is there any remedy for this.

I'm using redmi note 8 pro

I just disable bloatware, not removed, when i remove some apps i got stupid errors with some apps, and using only blokada apk for ads and thats all.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] noteespirit:
Are you rooted? What miui version you are using?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Sk0rpi0n89:
No, just bootloader unlocked, i try pixel rom and other custom roms, but camera is far away of all working, so i came back to stock miui, a10, eu version.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] amr831:
Same problem with global rom

Miui 11.0.5 global rom here, same problem.

Tried everything.

Reinstalling rom, factory reset, wiping data.

Removed autostart permissions

Debloating most apps

Turned off miui customization

Turned dark mode off ( this got me 2 extra hrs screen on time) but still android system was 30+%

I saw a couple of phones of same model with it taking only 8% and other phones running miui 11 with android 9 with no problem.

There must be something we are missing or I might have to roll back to android 9

Hi,

I've recently bought a Huawei MediaPad M6 10.8" in the spirit that the Internet is full of guides how to install Google services on them without unlocking the bootloader (I assume the warranty is void then). However, none of them I tried seems to work. I've tried the easiest ones, like

Lznet - https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-google-play-on-huawei/ (still downloadable from APKMirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/lzpla...-1-0-release/谷歌服务助手-1-0-android-apk-download/ but network error when trying to use)

also the Chat partner thing (com.tyq.pro https://xdaforums.com/mate-30-pro/how-to/gms-installer-100-huawei-mate30-mate30-t4045401 , similar network issue), the manual sucking:

downloading the Google APKs from APKMirror or so, I've downloaded these, I hope they're the right ones:

[IMG="list of APKs I've downloaded"]https://i.imgur.com/MzluHfC.jpg[/IMG]

Device information:

2|:/ $ getprop | grep -i arm

[ro.product.cpu.abi]: [arm64-v8a]
[ro.product.cpu.abilist]: [arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a,armeabi]
[ro.product.cpu.abilist32]: [armeabi-v7a,armeabi]
[ro.product.cpu.abilist64]: [arm64-v8a]

:/ $ getprop | grep -i dpi
[persist.sys.dpi]: [466]
[persist.sys.realdpi]: [466]

I'm just not sure what should I do with it to work. Google Play starts up, but when I would like to log in, doesn't do anything. I can try again and send logcat output if it helps.

Does anyone have any other idea? If not, should I send it back (I still can)? Or just risk by unlocking the bootloader, wiping, flashing Gapps like that?

Thanks, antivirtel

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fcreeves:
My Tilt has been threw hell. After a good summersault a few months ago I had to replace the slider. I was in Arizona for a job and I got my slider delivered there and I replaced it late one night with some acquired Harbor Freight tools in a motel room. I lost some screws and never made it back to Harbor Freight to get a magnet to get the screws that the maid may or may have not vacuumed up. The Slider I bought didn't even have both springs on it. I was pissed. Needless to say, it hasn't been right ever since..LCD has a slight offset **** to it from the rear housing.

I'm going to order new housing from E_ay that has Slider and keyboard for 62.99 & 6.99 s/h. There are no screws though. I am missing the long screw above the camera and 2 or 3 screws that attach the slider piece to front housing/lcd...around the sim.

I havn't looked to hard to buy just screws from anywhere...or cross/reference what size screws. I was hoping someone had a dead Kaiser/Tilt that I could get these screws from.

Any info or available screws would be appreciated. If ya have the goods I can paypal.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fcreeves:
OK...No replies. Does anyone have any ideas or could point me in the right direction to get some screws?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] y2whisper:
Look for screws from other cell phones (if you have any . when i replaced my screen i lost two screws and got replacements from an old broken motorolla flip phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] technillion:
Try a good hobby shop...

I just replaced the DPAD on my TyTN II and had to visit a local hobby shop to get the 00x40mm torq screwdrivers, etc. They had screws that size too.

I say "good hobby shop" because many of them like HOBBY LOBBY don't sell that kind of thing. You need to go to a place where you can buy EVERYTHING to actually build your own model cars, planes, trains, etc.

They would have the size you need.

Good luck!

Did wipe data and system before flash?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lexridge:
Just installed this ROM. Great ROM so far. I really like it! At first, I dirty flashed from Pixel Experience 9.0. First I flashed the new Firmware, then this ROM, then Magisk. It booted very quickly the first time. However I kept getting a weird screen flash every few seconds so I installed it again with a full wipe. Now all seems good. A few points I would like to address, probably more regarding Android 10 than this particular ROM:

- Is there a way to get my screen navigate buttons back on the bottom instead of the side to side swipe gestures? Every time I try to swipe left to exit out of Gmail it deletes an email message.

- Sending SMS messages seems very lagged.

- Opening Apps seems a little lagged.

Otherwise, this is a great PE replacement. Thank you to the maintainer and I hope you will stick with this ROM for a while.

EDIT: I guess I have figured most of this out already. After the ROM has "settled" for several hours it is seemly much more smooth and the Android 10 bits I figured out by searching for A10 tips and tricks. Love this so far. The bluetooth seems a bit finicky, but hopefully that will too soon settle down. Thanks [MENTION=10660933]1cecreamm[/MENTION]

Has anybody tested out the WiFi Calling feature? I cannot get it to even turn on. It tells me "Settings Keeps Stopping" when I try to activate it. Could somebody please test this and see if it works for you?

EDIT: If connected to a 5ghz WiFi network, and then WiFi tethering is turned on, the tethering will ONLY work at 5ghz no matter whether you select 2.4ghz or 5ghz. Since the WiFi technically does disconnect from your router while tethering, I would consider this a bug. A workaround is to first turn off WiFi before tethering at 2.4ghz.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Galifeee:
I installed it last night and today morning it didn't turn on the screen, but it did fix after reboot. I feel a bit of a delay in the animations but I suppose it is because of being used to the gestures of xiaomi.

Pretty fluid in performance but I feel like the battery degrades much faster.

I will keep informing as the days go by
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lexridge:
After having this ROM installed now for 48 hours, it has really settled down and is working very well. The only remaining issue I can see now is the aforementioned issue with the WiFi. When connected to a 5ghz WiFi network, it can no longer see 2.4ghz networks, and vice versa. In order to see both bands you must disconnect your WiFi first, then both 2.4ghz and 5ghz will show up. Can somebody else please check if you have the same WiFi behaviour?

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Magimix^:
Hi everyone, I'm throwing this out there because I've run out of ideas about what has just happened to my U12+ (64gb) today.

I woke up and used my phone as normal, caught up on Twitter and the news, the usual apps etc. nothing untoward. The same routine I've had with my phone for the past 18 months of owning it with zero issues. My handset is stock OS (Android 9) and so not rooted or anything like that. Virtually all the apps I use are standard issue from the Play Store, nothing really "out there" and I have BitDefender installed to look after security. Same setup I've had for over a year. The battery was around 35% so I plugged it into my wall charger while I went off to grab some breakfast. When I returned a couple of hours later the light on the handset was green, I unplugged the charger and attempted to unlock it with my fingerprint.

The phone asked for my PIN, no big deal so I entered it. Black screen. Tapped the power button again, it requested my PIN again, I entered and... black screen. Okay, I was a little bit concerned now. I held down the power button so the haptic buzz occurred, held for 10/20/30 seconds, a minute... nothing, no restart. Tap the power button and it asks me for my PIN again and shows yet another black screen. I held down Power + Volume Down but again, nothing and no restart.

I asked someone to call me, the screen came to life and I could take the call but each time I tried to pull down the system tray in order to try and reach Settings to restart it asked me for my PIN, I entered it = black screen. The call was unaffected.

I removed my SIM + microSD card tray = same deal as above.

The phone is clearly responsive in some way and the screen does display to ask for my PIN but I can't get into it in order to reboot it. Extremely worrying.

Does anyone have any advice? At the moment I am faced with the prospect of simply allowing the battery to run out so the phone shuts down naturally but that is going to take the best part of 2 days.

I'm really disappointed because I was planning another 1-2 years use for this handset as I just bought a 1TB microSD card which has been fine in the phone for weeks so I don't think that's the cause. It is also genuine SanDisk.

Any suggestions or advice? Thanks in advance.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Max128:
Hello, I hope you have made a backup with google backup recently... This does not happen often on android, but sometimes the system could have a problem. You can try this go the bootloader with the power and volume buttons , after recovery.. after apply a wipe data/ factory reset.. is will make a factory reset of your phone except the sd card. You should by fine after that and profit again.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Magimix^:
Thanks, I appreciate your reply.

At the moment I am running the battery down until the handset switches off naturally. When it comes back on I will try to launch the phone normally, if that doesn't work I'll run the battery down again and attempt to reach the bootloader.

My photos are backed up to the cloud, I may lose some text messages but I managed to transfer the majority of my 2FA over to another Android device bar one.

At the end of the day if it's a choice between wiping it or a bricked/unusable handset then I don't really have one. What a pain.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Max128:
At the moment I am running the battery down until the handset switches off naturally <----- why that??? Even on a bootloop or a black screen you can reset it hold the buttons power and the volume, you can go on the bootloader.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Magimix^:
The first thing I tried to do was hold down the power button or the power button in tandem with the volume buttons but the handset won't restart. I tried loads of times holding it for different amounts of time and... nothing.

Trust me, I tried.

The only way I can get the device to switch off is by draining the battery. I'm almost at 20% so it shouldn't be too much longer.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Max128:
Well I already got a black screen after flashing a module magisk.. I have holding the power button and the phone have restart no problem, same thing on bootloop. You need to be sure to hold the button correctly.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Magimix^:
Yeah, I'm certain I was holding the buttons correctly. I tried about 20 times using different combinations just to be sure but the device would not restart. The haptic shock buttons are one of my least favourite features of the u12+, it's got to be said.

Anyway, the phone ran out of battery about 15 minutes ago. I left it alone for few minutes and switched it back on. It allowed me back in and the device appears to be fully functional again. I can unlock by thumb print, face or PIN without issue.

Basically, it's fixed. My only concern is I have no idea what caused it or if it will happen again.

Thanks for offering help though, I appreciate it. I'm not sure if this thread can be closed/locked now? I'll look into that.

Cheers.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Max128:
Yes.. i love the buttons too i never got a problem with this. Great if is fixed! Maybe make a factory reset the next time.

I am wondering if the new flagship have haptic buttons too.. htc will announce it Tuesday.

Does any agree or disagree???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Menneisyys:
Disagree. Either the Pro or the X1 will be better, mostly because of the memory card slot. I only wish their camera would be better - at least the same quality as the Omnia or the Nokia N95/N82...
