[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] HisOfHers:
Not until the price comes way down, or I get a second hand one. Plus I want to see if anyone roots it and begins providing OS updates, given manufacturers all have a history of quickly cutting us adrift regarding updates.

I cut out a sheet of paper the same size as the S7+ screen yesterday and laid it over my Note Pro. The S7+ display is only a few mm difference.

I have waited for the S7+ but its 16:10 aspect ratio irritates me. I don't know why Android manufacturers are fixated on it. Samsung has cut out a large number of potential purchasers by not adopting something closer to the 4:3 aspect ratio of ipads. While I realize it's because most movies fit that better, ipad users watch plenty of video too and it doesn't seem to be hindering ipad sales any.

One examples of buyers they've cut out are the many people who deal with anything related to paper. Turn a tablet vertical to read documents and the 4:3 aspect ratio is a much closer fit. Whereas the 16:10 aspect ratio is narrower with bars of blank space top and bottom. This narrower width compared to its height also makes text smaller.

To match the width (and therefore text size) as a sheet of A4 paper on a 16:10 screen, you must go all the way up to 17". Whereas a 15" 4:3 screen is perfect.

Another group of buyers driven away (not all of course, but many) are musicians. Those musicians who use tablets mostly go with ipads, which are not ideal either because ipad pro screens are still smaller than paper. But at least they're much closer to paper aspect ratio without the 'side scrunch' and black bars of 16:10.

There are e-ink devices made specifically for musicians. But they're far too expensive given the typically ONLY good things about them is their e-ink screens, and due to that, long battery life. But their lack of features, limited hardware like processors, storage, and lack of provision for peripherals are pitiful to ridiculous given their price.

[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] KonstantIMP:
Hello!

Now I have a trouble with my Nokia 7.1.

When I try to boot twrp or another kernel (boot.img) it stuck. I do '"fastboot boot twrp.img" or "fastboot boot boot.img" and my phone frozes on Android One logo.

And if problem with twrp can be solved (first enter "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and only than "fastboot boot twrp.img"), problem with boot.img is still relevant.

I noticed, that after "fastboot boot ..." phone restarts into download mode.

My phone is unlocked.

Thank
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] singhnsk:
Hi, before any boot command, you'll need to do that flash recovery counterpart. You can do it on a standard boot image as well, not just TWRP. There's no recovery partition, so, nothing gets flashed. But it somehow allows us to boot our bootable img files.

So,

fastboot flash recovery boot.img
fastboot boot boot.img

[Mogul, XV6800 General] jc8320:
Hi guys.

When I ride the metro and the signal is non-existant or weak, my phone does a soft reset on it's own or sometimes the backlight shuts off and I can't wake it up. Pressing the power button on the side won't turn it on, instead I have to poke the stylus and do a soft reset to turn it back on. The soft reset / can't wake it up issue doesn't happen when I have a consistent signal.

I know it's not a software conflict because this happens even after a fresh hard reset, free of any installed programs. The phone will soft reset on it's own even if I put it in flight mode!!!! 1 yr warranty is up and no insurance. Any ideas?

is there a workaround to get back to an earlier ROM ?

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] StoneyJSG:
You can only go back to an earlier stock ROM if it's on the same bootloader you're currently on. Bootloader 4 can't go back to bootloader 3. However, bootloader 4 and roll back to an earlier bootloader 4 version.

[Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers] KineSight:
Hey guys. I've had my A20 (SM-A205F) since last September and rooted the stock ROM it the day I picked it up but I want to change to a GSI now.

Since then I've used :

-Stock ROM Android 9.0

-LineageOS 17 GSI

-Stock ROM Android 10 (Currently Active)

I wanted some info on migrating to an AOSP GSI with decent customization features. I stopped using the LOS 17 GSI after 1 day because it didn't have MTP support and also didn't have fingerprint gestures when you swiped down to open notification panel unlike in stock OneUI. (Yes I did check for apps to do the job but it seemed that the ROM just didn't have the capabilities.)

Seeing that you guys have used a bunch of GSI's I'm hoping you can recommend me one that has the features I'm looking for such as :

-Android 10 AOSP UI

-Fingerprint Gestures (Even if its just to pull down notification panel)

-Working MTP

-AlwaysOnDisplay

-Double Tap to Wake

-Usable with Magisk 20.4

-Ability to Change Recents with QuickSwitch

-Works well with curved corner displays (Status bar is not blocked in anyway)

I've taken a look at some video's on YouTube and it seems that EvolutionX and HavocOS are running the scene.

Your suggestions would be a great help. Thanks in advance :good:

Hi

My Galaxy Note 9 (N906F/DS, CSC Code: INS, 512 GB variant) started restarting on its on. It was restarting continuously.

I tried factory reset from recovery mode. Didn't work.

Finally I decided to flash the stock rom. Now the restart problem is resolved but I am getting encryption failed message when device boots up. Also in recovery it says "Not enough storage resource" and asking me to perform "Lacking Storage Booting" (This is coming up only sometimes in recovery), but I don't have that option in my recovery.

I think I have corrupted my internal storage.

Please help.

Very elementary, and probably not helpful, suggestion... but go to recovery (bixby + up volume + power on, holding up vol even after screen lights). Then from there wipe the cache. Like I said, not likely... but maybe worth a shot.

Is there anything I can try?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RonChinoy:
Hi

Can I ask where you are located Samsung just tried to bill me 26,500 to replace my board.

Id probably like to get a board replacement done by your guy.

I suspect the only solution is to replace your board many times the mistake we make is thinking that s/w will fix the problem. Im in a similar situation as you.

If you do replace the board Id like to call dibs on your audio IC lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Swapnil Vijay:
I am in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.

I guess I will get the board changed then.

But this is too bad for a flagship phone. Its been just a year and a half and now I have to spend another 18K on a phone. This is not acceptable. I am not going to trust Samsung anymore. Also service centers should have engineers to repair the board, for example instead of replacing the board they can just replace the memory IC.

About this, can I ask them to give my old board back to me?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RonChinoy:
They better return the old board. Else where is the proof they changed it ?.

I have been in the service Industry for over 30 years. Worked with Tata Company, IBM, Compaq, Setup the first service centers for IBM and Compaq in India.

Never have I seen the level of unprofessionalism shown by Samsung. They need to sack their 3rd party vendor and get in a new team. Go check the Samsung Face Book page. They have a rating of 1.6 out of 5.

If a one plus phone can last 5 years, my nexu 5 still runs. I fail to see why a flagship should fail.

They have screwed up big time over and over again. Did you know the update broke the S20s also ?.

Anyway I am looking into why these failures after the update. And the hint seems to be excessive heat.

I suspect for example in a case like yours. Just reballing the memory IC would fix it.

In my case also I plan to try and re-ball the IC. If that fails I will put in a new IC.

Parts are dirt cheap just check out aliexpress. Samsung service are basically riping us off.

Instead of apologising to us. For the time and inconvenience faced They want to shaft us.

I predict this years launches are going to bomb big time. The note ultra 20 is rumored to already have a display issue.

Which makes the regular Note 20 screen look better. People are saying the Note 20 feels like one of those dummy phones you see in a store.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Swapnil Vijay:
This makes a lot of sense because when my handset started restarting, it was producing so much heat that I couldn't even touch it with my bare hands and I had to keep it in refrigerator at 7 degrees for around 15 sec to make it normal again.

I just have one more doubt, if we assume that the memory IC is corrupted or is moved from its place due to excessive heat, then how am I able to flash the whole operating system of 6 GB into memory? Is it like they have separate chips for Internal memory and OS (including recovery, bootloader etc...)

[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] krisha2k:
yes, I retried it last week (with latest official patch applied).

I migrated > 10GB of data. Afterwards I checked 'DCIM' and 'Download'. All files got totally corrupted (looks like every byte different).

It seems that newly created files were not corrupted. (Was just a fast check with 2-3 pictures)

I migrated back and removed SD card. Files still corrupted. During the last test in ~2019 I figured out that the files some when magically got fixed again some time after migrating back. Hope this happens again this time...

Maybe it also just needs some time after migrating to reencrypt the files for the SD card?

Does anybody know more about the internal processes during and after migration?
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] hxx.c:
Hi, I didn't try the above method, but I used adb commands to format the SD-Card as internal. It basically worked and I am able to run the apps that I migrated to the external card.

HOWEVER:

1. The external card and it's files are completely invisible to any file-system-apps. So I can't see the data.

2. Apps that require some kind of login never keep that login. If you close the app and start it again, you need to login again. This seems to indicated that the apps have been migrated, but are unable to actually use the external space to save new files.

Does anyone think that rooting the device would help?

Cheers,

Calon
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] dippyshere:
my experience with adaptable storage was the same as krisha2k's. all migrated user data I had appeared to become corrupted, and most apps that I moved to the sd card either couldn't save any app data (game saves/logins) or even lost functionality (Snapchat friends list disappeared). some really old and ancient apps that I moved to adoptable storage kept their saves etc (ice cream jump, Neko atsume).

I also found that games with in-app downloads would save their download to the internal storage, as well as external when the app appeared to be stored on the external only.

most apps are broken because of newer android changes that protect external storage write access (and i think read too). I'm not an expert in that though. just speculation

in the end, I just did a factory reset and I've settled with using the sd card as portable storage and storing large files on there (4k video from camera etc).

its a shame because it was a spare 128GB card I had lying around, and I would have liked to have some bigger apps installed, but it doesn't matter too much. but I guess that's just how things are now.

i personally wouldn't recommend doing it. you have potentially everything to loose if you accidentally migrate all your internal data, and what seems to be absolutely nothing to gain.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MahuRDX:
So basically I'm using Xiaomi's Redmi Note 7 Pro and its camera skips frames when recording video and in one forum ( This one ) , in that forum that guy suggests to delete the thermal configuration file for the camera app which is limiting the camera from functioning smoothly.

So the problem is its in system directory and I really can't afford to root my device right now. I really can't. And while browsing along the internet, I found another forum ( This one ) which says you can remove some system apps without root just using some commands in ADB.

That made me think if theres a command for deleting a file through ADB and I found this forum ( This one ) which gave me this command ( rm /sdcard/0/file_to_delete ) .

I'm really Noob at these things and I want your help.

I used FX File explorer to check if the file exists and I can see it, but cant delete cos its read only and my device is not rooted. The file is in /vendor/etc/thermal-engine-camera.conf (or) system/vendor/etc/thermal-engine-camera.conf . I dont know if i should include the /system/ before /vendor/ or not, im nub.

So please tell me whats the proper command with the directory or if it wont work. I really want to get rid of that config file which is messing up the videos im recording and i really cant root :( Thank you
