[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] mslezak:
Well the whole point of this post, is to tally up how many people have been stuck in EDL mode. I have at least 5 people that have contacted me via Telegram saying they are EDL bricked. This is to just stress that Android 10 phones that come with the new "Super" dynamic partitions are basically an EDL brick waiting to happen. Op 8 Plus already released a factory reset EDL mode restore, we'd like one for the Red Magic 5G.

Now I'm a dev so I pretty much know how to avoid an EDL brick, but most people are not. You don't want to touch in any way the system partition. That's rule #1. We have had mixed comments from the tech support team that they MAY release an EDL restore tool in the next 2 weeks, but that is certainly not a sure thing.

If it does happen, you can thank Jerry at Red Magic who is very kind in supporting the community of developers.

I have been told by others that posting on Nubia's Facebook page is the fastest way to get a resolution https://www.facebook.com/nubiasmartphone/ . I know the number of people here in EDL mode is not an accurate number as I've been contacted on Telegram with far more than have posted here. I do suggest going to Nubia's Facebook page and requesting the unbrick tool for those of you stuck in EDL mode. Apparently that is much faster than contacting support@redmagic.gg - where apparently as a sub-brand of Nubia, they are less motivated to help you out.

I contacted the Nubia Qays Facebook account and he told me to provide me with my e-mail address, which I contacted technical support, and then technical support contacted me and asked me three questions, is the phone working or not? The answer was no and he said did you download another rom? So I said yes, I downloaded the ROM by mistake, and the third question said he provided me with the link that I downloaded the ROM file, so I supplied it, and in the end he ignored me and did not reply to my message and did not provide me with what I do or how it helps me to address the phone problem .. ?

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] SkyKOG:
Hi folks!

So I've been using the Huawei Mate 20x for about a year now and all was good! I accidentally dropped my phone and damaged the screen. Though the phone turns on, I can't do anything as the screen is pitch black.

I set up my old iPhone only to notice that none of the contacts I saved in the past year was uploaded to google contacts! How did this happen? I was always logged into Google services and I'm sure it's auto-linked to google.

What do I do about my contacts? Is there a way to retrieve them from my phone? The Huawei service centres don't service this model right now as it's not launched in my country yet (got this from Hong Kong)

I really REALLY need the contacts! Please help! thanks in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chili1496:
hello apologies if this is the wrong area, after some advice regarding my old s7 edge.

not used it for 18mth, i seem to recall i flashed a rom onto it but not sure which one, anyway tonight found it and tried to turn it on, it briefly powers up the display is like a static tv screen and it says along the top "kernel is not seandorid enforcing" and it has now gone to a black screen i do not know if the phone is off or on, tried to reset using home power vol up/down buttons but i get nothing. i put the phone on charge for 30 minutes nothing seems to indicate if it is charging or not except the chargers power light stays on.

anyone any ideas if i will be able to recover the phone or is it now a paper weight?

i am going to guess the phone is at this moment dry of charge except for the last 30 minutes and it still seems dead.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] DavidxxxD:
Try booting into download mode with vol -, home, power. If you still dont see anything, wait a few seconds then press vol + like usual and check if it's recognised by odin. If it is, reinstall the full stock firmware.

Also consider that if it doesnt boot into download or recovery at all, the home button might be broken. Theres no way to tell without a working system and the combinations without home just force reboot your phone.

Ps Questions usually go in the Q&A section for your device, dont get confused if this thread is moved to

Whether you are concerned about Privacy or just that Facebook is consuming most of your limited mobile data, these 10 settings got you covered.

Well, if You log into the Facebook App (in this case Android App) here are my top 10 settings that you should Change and my reason for telling you to change it.

#1 SAVE YOUR LOGIN INFO (ON THIS DEVICE)

DON'T DO IT at least for security reasons. If you log out of the device, your login info still remains there if you didn't wipe Facebook app data and that could lead to a security breach.

#2 TURN OFF LOCATION.

Facebook uses your location for mainly ads and other kind of profiling so, always turn it off. That doesn't mean that Facebook won't know your location but at least they'll have to do a little more work to Get it (as I'll show later)

#3 TURN OFF START VIDEO IN TIMELINE WITH SOUND FROM SETTINGS

Anyway, this mainly serves Facebook interest were ads that pop up on timeline plays Automatically. At least, give yourself the chance of being the one to click on an ad because the title is catchy or the thumbnail interesting.

#4 TURN ON OPEN LINKS EXTERNALLY.

You should be the one to choose which browser opens URLS from inside Facebook App. If not, Facebook will automatically track your browsing history, activities and behaviors

#5 CLEAR YOUR BROWSING HISTORY

Since you have turned on open links externally, it is important that you also clear any browsing history left on Facebook.

#6 AUTO PLAY VIDEOS ON MOBILE DATA AND WIFI

May not be bad if you are on unlimited data plan but come on, on mobile data too? by default? Not a good news if you are on limited data. Moreso, this dumps a lot of data on app cache.

#7 & #8 ADS PREFERENCES

Ads Preferences setting is interesting because it has a lot of settings on by default that makes you want to wonder why they are on by default. There are two major parts I looked at here - Your information and Ads settings you just have to turn everything off.

#9 OFF-FACEBOOK ACTIVITIES - TURN IT OFF!

This one is so deep we made a YouTube video for it you just have to turn it off.

#10 Privacy settings.

There are loads of settings in the privacy settings that you need to change by default. You really need this one...

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] nimaim:
Hey guys, pardon my ignorance but my Mediapad M5 10.8" Wifi only model CMR-W09 has been sitting around for quite awhile. It's been formatted and awaiting a buyer on Ebay. Nothing wrong with it nor have I had any issues, but I simply don't use it enough. A potential buyer asked me a question I could not answer as I have not been following all the US gov. vs Huawei proceedings.

Did Google pull Play Store from this tablet? If so, how do you install apps? If not, any issues with any other apps like Netflix and such? One of the reasons for getting this model is that it comes with official Netflix ESN which allows it to play full HD. And unrelated question, but what update are people getting in the states (US)? Thanks.

EDIT: Saw the answer about Pie in the thread below, apparently US devices never got the update to 9, which sucks.

[Touch CDMA General] ekename:
Just curious if anyone else has issues with GPS reception on their sprint touch. I upgraded to the latest htc rom earlier in the week and everything is great except I cannot get GPS to hook up - I've had it work only once.
[Touch CDMA General] d.cortez:
i upgraded too and i'm using GPS with GoPilot Live, iGO8 and Garmin Mobile XT and it works without issue.

what GPS program are you using with your touch?
[Touch CDMA General] ekename:
Google maps is the only application i've tried. It will search (and search, and search) but doesn't find any or only 1 sat.
[Touch CDMA General] TheChampJT:
Make sure all your settings are correct and try using something like GPS Viewer to get the initilal lock.
[Touch CDMA General] ekename:
Any hint on which settings, and what the the correct values for those settings would be?

Thanks for the tip on GPS Viewer - I will def check it out!

Thanks,

Tim
[Touch CDMA General] TheChampJT:
First, make sure you have the proper Radio/ROM, I assume you do.

Second, under System Settings>External GPS

Programs>COM4 Port

Hardware>(None) Baud Rate>4800

Access>Check Manage Automatically

Third, under Personal Settings>Phone

Services>Location Setting>Location On

Fourth, the Registry

I know of only one value that may help if you change, there are more, but haven't seen them, and I believe it's different on some carriers, like Sprint

HKCU>Software>HTC>SUPL AGPS>GPS Mode

For the inital sat lock, make sure you stand outside on a clear sky and wait at least 5 min, if it takes that long.

The first time I did this, I was trying from inside, finally tried it outside after 3 days of no luck, but now it works quite well. I usually get connected under 30 seconds. As long as your in the same area when you reconnect it should be quick, the first is usually the longest. And I personally use LiveSearch for the directions.

Change from 2 to either 4 or 1, this may help, never really guarenteed though
[Touch CDMA General] hapa_dude:
I was in Boston this weekend and noticed the GPS on my Touch would not lock in a signal in the financial district surrounded by tall buildings. But when I have a clearer view of the sky it works fine. Are you in an open area when you are using it?
[Touch CDMA General] TheChampJT:
It surely helps! Any obstructions will make it harder to pickup the signal.
[Touch CDMA General] Stevevo:
I was having problems with mine too until I did the 4th one and changed it to a 1 from 2 and it works much better. Try it and see you can always turn it back to 2

[Touch CDMA General] Spyderekz:
My apologies if this has already been posted somewhere. I did a search and came up empty...

So like a lot of people, I've been having some major problems with the GPS's reliability on the Touch (yep, last week's flavor of the week). It connects only when it feels like it, and numerous resets seem to temporarily solve the problem. Well, changing the following registry value seemed to solve all of my problems:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A3 8-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\Phone as Modem]

"Enabled"=dword:00000000"

Change the value to 0, and soft reset.

It appears that the GPS, by default, makes use of the "Phone as Modem" data connection to take advantage of aGPS, but if a "Sprint PCS" data connection is already active, the GPS doesn't swap connection methods and ultimately hangs. This problem is exacerbated if you have Push services or other data connections running.

I personally haven't noticed any problems with disabling PAM, but as usual, your mileage will vary. For me, I get GPS locks within 15 seconds when I'm in a reasonably accessible location, and I no longer have to reset-and-pray to get this thing working.
[Touch CDMA General] dekeMX:
Link not working, repost.
[Touch CDMA General] etiger13:
hate to tell you this, but if you are using the builtin GPS, a clear view of the sky does nothing to improve your gps position locking. our phones have AGPS which means it is fake GPS. It uses the distance from cell towers to triangulate your position, not satellites. Thats why you can get a lock inside with no view of the sky.

some ROMs have different settings on them so following the above directions should work. Or you can do like me and find a better ROM
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Vortenix:
Hi everyone. I'm new here on XDA and this is my first post so if I'm doing this wrong, please let me know below or provide a link if my problem has already been solved, thank you.

I have an s8+(SM-G955F, dream2ltexx/dream2lte), running 9.0.0. I have both, TWRP(3.3.1) and Magisk(latest) + edxposed(for what is worth). I am also running a custom kernel A2N. I received a week ago an OTA update and I would like to apply it. This is my first ever OTA update on a rooted device so I read a ton of posts and tutorials in the past few days, also backed up everything using TWRP. From what I understood(and please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or show a better solution) I need to first install the default recovery image, lose TWRP, unroot, do the OTA and after that, reinstall TWRP and Magisk(I think I also need to return to stock kernel, not sure).

Important: I would very much like to not factory reset my phone if this is possible.

Now, I have a few questions:

1. Where can I get my default recovery.img ? (I tried to find it on https://desktop.firmware.mobi/device:468 but they don't have anything for android 9)

2. Do I also need to get and install my default kernel ? If so, where can I also get it ?

2. After I flash the recovery.img what is the best thing to do with Magisk ? (completly uninstall or just restore image ?)

3. After everything is done, will flashing TWRP require to remount the partitions ?(because that will also mean I have to factory reset at some point)

4. It would also be super helpful if you could provide me a link from where I can download OTA updates as zip files(if there exist such a place). The version that I need is: G955FXXS8DTC1

I cannot thank you enough for everything and sorry for the long post :)

Hope you have a safe, beautiful day !

P.S. I already tried to do the OTA update after backup. It tried to flash it throw TWRP and, of course, it failed(error: 7)

Anyway, this device it's at least ok for watching youtube videos, browsing internet and reading some pdfs, and the battery it's good. Now i just need to know how to root it. I found on 4PDA how to do it, but it uses the BeTools for installing the TWRP instead of SP Flash Tool and BeTools isn't working for me. Anyone who has it could help me to root this device? Thanks.

Hi,

Do you have cases when the fingerprint wont unlock the phone (until 5 failures are reached)

This happens to me every now and then and is quite annoying. I don't have a screen protector and have disabled battery optimization for biometrics. Wondering whether to bring the phone for repair.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] lakicamm:
Did you update to ATE6? If not, please do.

Also try to re-add your fingerprints again, i found that speed and quality of fp sensor depends on how "good" you scanned your fp-s.

Another trick is to press harder when scanning and unlocking (which also works).
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] mariushm:
Yes, I am on ATE6. Will renroll fp to see.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] creep138:
The issue that I've noticed what it could be is the scanner is always active. The problem I face is when I pull the phone out of my pocket I've reached my attempts and have to use my pin.

In the case of the other post, just add 2 of the same finger. My thumb and pointer are in it twice each
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] mariushm:
I don't have this experience with pulling out of the pocket. Added the finger again and now I am trying to train myself how to press harder and hold the finger patiently until it unlocks.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Klopers33:
Adding same finger twice solved this problem for me, when adding second time make sure to scan your finger in different angles, almost like youre trying to miss scanner
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] scaredy-cat:
S20 here. New tip. I think ultrasonic fingerprint reader is located slightly off-center to the left, so when adding and scanning your fingerprints, aim slightly left.

I discovered this yesterday while cleaning the screen under a bright table lamp, I noticed that you can actually see exact reader's location, where it is bonded to the screen underneath it. I assumed it's not visible.

Reader appears to be letterbox shaped, length around 1.6, width around 0.7 centimeters.

When you turn the screen on, fingerprint icon is located in the center of the screen, you can almost fit another icon next to it to the left, to represent reader's length.

Combined with other tips, some also mentioned by the users above, I

rarely

have to scan twice now, three times tops. Before I often ran out of allowed number of attempts and had to enter password. Still not perfect or super consistent, but much better. Soo..

Main tips:

• When adding and scanning your fingerprints, aim slightly left. Always keep reader's shape and position in mind. Turn off your screen, and examine it under bright desk lamp, to determine exact reader's shape and location.

• Register your thumb two times for each hand, while rotating your phone (slowly from portrait to landscape, back, and beyond until phone hits space between your thumb and index finger) and move thumb slightly towards finger's bend point and then towards fingertip (do it all over something soft in case you drop it while rotating).

• After you added your fingerprints, lock and unlock your phone multiple times (let's say 10 times) using each hand before you decide if doing it all over is necessary. Maybe even keep it for a day, see if phone manages to optimize data, or maybe you will get used to positioning your fingers in a certain way.

• Make sure to moisturize your hands, noticed scanner struggles with dry skin.

• You may also try to register both left and right thumbs (or other fingers) at the same time, this may speed up unlock, though not sure how secure this is.

• Don't hold your finger for too long, simply firmly tap and lift, phone should unlock.
