I think that maybe the case too. Or you could take a handheld vacuum cleaner to it with the crevious attachment to suck out any dust or debrie that maybe stuck in the speaker grill

Hi Eddie, I would have agreed with you but the thing is that doing a factory reset resolved the problem for me once, then it eventually appeared again, so this indicates that it is a software issue! No?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] wahab96:
But then how did the factory reset fix the problem for me once? I am sure it has something to do with software. Can you think of anything that I should try to fix it supposing it's a software issue (other than a factory reset of course) thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Braggster:
Hmm seeing that you have corrected the issue in the past by doing the factory reset it is possibly a software issue..

Possibly try a reflash using odin?

It won't break your warranty unless you have rooted ij the past..

If that fails take a trip to samsung get it repaired under warranty

All.the best eddie
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Munawar Mehmood:
hi, go to service menu by dialing *#0#*, and test speaker there. this will confirm whether it is hardware or software.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] wahab96:
Hey Eddie thanks for the odin suggestion, I tried it and finally realized that I was just being too stubborn to admit that my phone has a hardware issue. Turns out the audio never got better after a reset, it just felt a bit different as I wanted to be it that way.

Anyways time to admit the hard truth it is a hardware issue and I think won't get it repaired, both speakers now get as loud as an S8 which by any means is not a the best speaker out there, but it gets the job done, thanks for time, Abdul Wahab.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RonChinoy:
I had the very same problem. After the update. Same phone Other than the phone heating up and taking really long to charge, the speaker output dropped then got flakey. And finally stopped working. All this happened after the update.

Did a reset. Even took it to the service center and let them re-load the s/w.

Nothing helped. In the end both speakers, both mics, and ear jack will stop working.

I traced the problem down to one of two ICs one is the Max98512 or the 9896B.

If your out of warranty they will want to charge you 28,000 + for a new motherboard.

They looked really hard for physical damage and water damage. But my phone is immaculate.

From the showroom got a world-class case and screen protector.

Not a scratch they could find. I don't even take my phone off my desk. Kids actually nobody is allowed to even touch it.

At first I thought it was something I did. But as you research update problems you will see many issues from failing audio to failing displays.

The local small-time repair shop service guys will say we can fix it. But they pull a con. They just reball the audio IC and hit it up with heat. There is a chance that it will start working but the repair will not last.

Last option is to put the chips on Ali express and replace them yourself. Which is what I will do if Samsung Shafts me.

I have e-mailed the Service head of Samsung to resolve the problem.

My logic is that a flag ship should last 2 years at least.

If they shaft me on this Samsung have lost a loyal customer from Note 4 days.

You could get lucky doing things like cleaning the ear phones, the cache etc.

my phone was accidentally factory reset by a 3 year old holding two buttons, which shouldnt even be an option honestly. i did not have an sd card or a backup for literally the two things i care about most, my notes(samsung notes app) and my photos, and i have no idea why those two were specifically turned off.

i have tried recovering them through my computer with multiple services, minitool, drfone, photorec, fonelab and at least 2 others, all of them said my device had to be rooted, so i tried several things to root my phone as well,(i can only remember kingoroot off the top of my head) but im unable to get the OEM option, ive tried turning off auto updates, changing the date and restarting my phone several times, turning off mobile and wifi data, and im not sure but i think it wont work simply because the option to turn off software updates isnt available(at least, thats the only thing thats different with all the tutorials/videos i watched showing how to do it. i found a post that said its because android updated to make it harder to do and that now software updates happen through google services and to turn that off to do it, but that didnt work either.

my phone is a samsung galaxy a50 and the version(since it reset) is 10.

im begging, please please someone help, anything i can try at all, the last few years of my life are in those photos and notes, i cant lose them, ive been trying to fix this for 6 hours, i dont have much money but i am willing to pay to get back my photos and notes, i really need them. i apologize if this is the incorrect place to post, if it is, please let me know where i can post this to get help.

A Factory Reset wipes phone's disk space ( what is a non-volatile flash memory ) filled up with user-data and rewrites that partition with the apps provided by OEM/Carrier. As long as the flash memory space ( blocks ) used before wiping and after rewriting doesn't get physically "overwritten" it's basically possible to recover deleted files.

It's not necessary phone is rooted to do so, because you aren't dealing with Android's system-data.

If ADB ( read: USB debugging ) is enabled on phone, then to clone ( read: create a raw image - on byte level - of ) Android's /data and/or /userdata partition to PC

At 1st establish connection running command

adb devices

Then obtain Android's /data partition's mount-point name by running command

adb shell mount

and query command's output for line that contains substring

1. if partition name is /data: on /data type ext4

2. if partition name is /userdata: on /userdata type ext4

Left of that substring is shown name of the mount-point, e.g. /dev/block/sda35. Note down that mount point, you need it in next step.

Then, using the mount-point you remembered, run this command

adb exec-out "dd if=[color=red]/dev/block/sda35[/color] 2>/dev/null" > C:\data.img

what will create the clone on PC's drive C:

Done

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheExploitedOne:
Unfortunately after a factory data reset it may not be possible to regain that data without a backup. You may be able to use custom tools to potentially gain data back that was there but haven't ever seen any success of that
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
My 2 cents: A Factory Reset doesn't mean that user-data are irretrievably lost. The term Wipe Data used in recovery memu is errleading.

Wiping

means overwriting storage space with random data, e.g.

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdX bs=1M

Hence original data in no way can get recovered.

Deleting

means resetting the entry in Android's file system to inform OS that the storage space used is free to write new data onto.

Until that happens the data can be easily recovered by software of which some is free to use.

Formatting

means clearing the entries in Android file system what allows to find/read files on the device, but leaves the files data intact.

You can still recover the data from a formatted storage space.

Personally don't think a Factory Reset wipes user-data in the sense described above, but only deletes them in the sense described above.

But this estimation can be wrong. :D

the first step isnt working, am i doing something wrong?

i tried it without the space, i tried just adb and just devices, and all of it just says the same thing and i tried doing what it said by putting a \ in front, it still says the same thing
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheExploitedOne:
Like I've said even formatting yes you can potentially recover said data, but I've never seen such a tool successfully extract data without it already existing into he device.

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ----------

If you have the platform-tools and/or ADB folder use CMD (Command Prompt) to get the job done. Ensure its set to the same directory as the executables

[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Questions & Answers] v774:
Any advice on which MIUI to go back to and which is the best way to do a rollback? Since a few months I went to Redmi 6 MIUI 11.0.4 Global via Fastboot, but getting sick of the battery drainage (loose >50% overnight, even in airplane mode). Already debloated as much as I could, no effect. On a previous MIUI I would never loose more than 5-10% overnight. During the day it's even worse.

I think MIUI 10 was better, forgot how 9 was.

Also, I can't find THE best way to do a rollback on Redmi 6. There are many how-to's and youtube videos (none in English) but they are all different. Any advice or experience here?

Thanks a lot in advance!

The best way to do a rollback is to unlock the bootloader and then flashing a previous version of MIUI through MiFlash Tool.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
According to Google's docs, all versions from "Lollipop" (Android 5.0) up to "Pie" (Android 9.0) need at least 416 MB memory. This is true if device's display uses "framebuffer resolutions up to qHD (e.g. FWVGA)". Higher resolutions need more memory.

Android phone devices up to "Oreo" (Android 8.1) with only 512 MB avaiable RAM must have mandatory set the "ActivityManager.isLowRamDevice" flag.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Septfox:
I guess I'm a moron and can't figure this out :v

Using stock rooted Oreo, Magisk, edXposed, everything that goes with them. TWRP 3.2.3-7.

Lately, I've been using my headphones while driving to work. I need a touch more volume over stock to deal with wind noise.

The problem is, I absolutely can't get /system/vendor/etc into a writable state.

Attempts to modify mixer_paths_tavil.xml whilst booted up fail, either resulting in an unreadable file (Total Commander) or just not working (Root Explorer).

Trying to flash a modified zip (just grabbed a dual-speaker mod and replaced the xml) in TWRP results in no file being created; it doesn't seem to throw an error, just silently fails.

Manually copying the xml to /system/vendor/etc using TWRP's file manager ~appears~ to work, but attempts to set permissions results in error code 1. The file doesn't exist upon reboot.

Remounting manually as RW in TWRP's terminal doesn't seem to help. And yes, "mount System as read-only" is unchecked.

I can make build.prop changes, so I know /system is writable. The only way I can get anything written to /system/vendor/etc is restoring a full system backup.

I've modified this file before; I manually tweaked the call volume higher and enabled "fake" high-impedance mode.

So I'm sure I'm doing something really stupid here. Help.

Unable to load any data - "Selected 'from or to' reference could not be loaded."

Pixel 3a XL updated to the July 2020 security patch. Running BBS 2.5-344

I started getting a toast message saying BBS was not responding. I can force close, but upon opening I have the same issue the user in my quote mentioned, the "from or to" reference was not found.

I uninstalled and reinstalled. I had to grant the necessary permissions via adb.

The from or to problem still persists.

I have tried everything but can’t get the mute function to work when you lay down your phone upside down or when you lay the display side down on the table. Even when I lay it down it still rings loud.

Does anyone have an idea what it could be?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Archer:
Hi.

To use the mute when flipped functionality, you don't leave the phone upside down. You leave it face up and turn it over when it rings. It's the action of turning it upside down that mutes the call - not being upside down itself.

If you want to mute the phone so you don't need to do anything when you get a call, I'm afraid you just have to mute it.

Once on it works and runs fine and has never turned itself off, so I dont suspect any lose power wires.

However I have briefly had issues with my canbus due to a faulty alarm unit. Since repaired but ever since steering controls have sometimes been erratic . That I can live with but its the not turning on thats the problem.

To me it seems like its (sometimes) not getting the 'turn on' command.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] @Class:
Hello,

You can try forcing only low bands or only high bands. You must remember to change back this setting if you want faster speeds or more coverage. The low bands will typically help with stability and the high bands will typically help with speed.

*#2263#

You should see band selection. Choose clear all. Choose WCDMA 850, LTE 5, 12, LTE 13 and save.

If you mess it up, press clear all then select all and save. It will set your phone back to the original band selection.
