[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] zayidhs:
Ideally this update will not affect your data.

But if you want to be more at ease, go to settings > Other System Settings > Backup > Backup > select

personal data

,

system data

,

App data

&

media data

then back up.

After backing up, connect to PC, then go through your phone's directory root > nubia > PIM then the folder with current date of backup. Copy that folder to your PC. Now you have a backup.

If at any time you would like to restore, copy that folder from your PC to your phone's directory root > nubia > PIM folder and go to settings and to backup then tap on that backup file and restore option will appear.

Hi guys,

I need an advice on a backup program or app that allows me to full backup my device without root.

I would like to backup the image of the phone because I have to full wipe it.

Some tips?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] s3axel:
Any kind of image backup (presumably with TWRP) only works with an unlocked bootloader....as you don't have root I assume you also have your bootloader locked.

What you can do is use a tool like Swift Backup (or the standard Google backup/restore mechanism) which will backup and restore some of the data on you phone including installed apps, but no app data itself. Many apps allow for export/import of their data, so this may be a solution - but requires a bit of footwork to go through all the apps and do export/import of data manually. For me this approach (using the standard Google/Android mechanism) has worked quite nicely the times I had a non-rooted phone.

You can try with ADB backup/restore (maybe with help of an app called Helium Backup that creates a UI for the commandline-interaction of the ADB commands), but you need to connect the phone to a PC for this to work. From my experience ADB backup is a little quirky, not always backing up and restoring all data depending on some unclear characteristics of the apps concerned (and on top many apps don't allow data backup via ADB at all!). For me reliability in the backup/restore mechanism is crucial, so I've quit using ADB backup at all :)

Hi

I had a PIE rom installed on my ZE600KL with the latest audio patch (all pie roms don't have audio on ZE600KL and ZE601KL unless you install a patch)

I didn't get a good experience with roms so I decided to install an old rom :

https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-2-laser/development/rom-smoothified-stock-rom-t3404050

which is based on marshmallow, which wroked but it had no audio either!

I then decided to follow this guide :

https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/ze550kl-ze551kl-zd551kl-ze600kl-ze601kl-t3333482

to go back to stock rom, which was successful, however, I still have no Audio (I used the official firmware available on the ASUS website, named UL-Z00L-WW-21.40.1220.2171-user).

so I decided to re-install TWRP (because the last step made made TWRP malfunction, can't touch anything in TWRP, it didn't re-install the stock recovery), and then I tried to install any rom, and no matter which rom I try, I get TWRP ERROR 7

I decided to edit the rom files to remove the 3 assert lines to bypass the check, but no luck!

so I'm now stuck on the stock rom, with no Audio, but everything else works!.

I tried installing older versions of TWRP but all had the same error 7

I then decided to look up similar issues and I found that cyanogenmod 6 had a workaround zip patch for audio not working on this model (ZE600KL) and I flashed that, still, no audio.

any help would be appreciated!.

7.1 roms, 8.1 roms, pie roms, every sound fix available, wiping everything, installing fire kernel, installing Icey kernel

no audio what so ever

device : Z00MD or ZE600KL (Z00L)

reason : wanted to go back to stock rom from android 9 Pie while having flashed the audio fix kernel, but flashed the smothified rom, then it had no audio so I used LUK's method to go back to stock firmware (which did not revert me to the stock recovery)

then it had no audio

everything other than the speaker works

- Audio through the headphone jack works

- Audio through bluetooth works

Hello guys,

I am trying to bring back to life a dead Vivo 1901 (V15) phone using SP Flash Tools v5.2036. The Firmware I am using comes in a file named, "Vivo_Y15_PD1901BF_MT6765_EX_A_1.12.4_11062019_(by_vivofirmware.com)",

[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] MeTheRebel:
Yeah, the Oppo firmware on their website is not up to date. If you really need it just google "*Country symbol* Oppo Find X2 Pro Update" and it'll pop up. Click here for the UK website if you're lazy

The latest update is A.42 unless you bought your phone from Vodafone then it's lagging behind a bit. Oppo updates are also currently not landing in every country at the same time due to them just launching in Europe and having issues with providers or some bs like that, I dont know. The current method to getting updates faster is to download a VPN software and jump between countries while opening Software Update in settings(I install "Thunder VPN" just to switch and uninstall after it detects an update). Don't forget to disconnect from the crappy VPN after the new update pops up, you don't have to be connected to the VPN to start downloading.

Also some people are having issues updating their phones because they flashed android 11 beta version which was classified to be used on chinese models ONLY and are currently stuck on rollback software until either they send their devices to Oppo to be reset or Android 11 lands in Europe in December.

That's definitely not right. Hope you get it sorted out.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] dzontra83:
I know, don't know where to start, so first step is to disable auto brightness....
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] dzontra83:
It definitely seems to be auto brightness, I turned it off, charged the phone to 100%, and today CameraLightSensor it not showing in the battery usage at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] fncd:
Same thing on my T-Mobile model - 3.1% over 9 hours. I have not checked my unlocked model, as its still in the box.

Have you noticed the 'ring" of pixels around the camera changing color to black when using the phone? I notice it mostly when browsing the web, or on a phone call.

Hard to describe what it is, but a "ring" about 5 px wide turns black or dark grey around the front camera just for a second. Is that the light sensor thing?

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

Interesting - I read an article about samsung using the camera instead of a sensor in new phones to detect the ambient brightness. The phone will take a picture, adjust the brightness, then the picture is permanently deleted. I guess that flash of the ring around the camera is the phone doing that to see what the light levels are in the room.

I turned off auto brightness and that ring flashing has stopped.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] dzontra83:
Definitely when you turn off auto brightness, the CameraLightSensor is not working in the background. But it must be a software glitch, it should be active only when the screen is on, it shouldn't be active while the device is in sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] fncd:
I spoke too soon. Even with auto brightness turned off, the flashing ring of pixels around the camera still persist. ?

Edit: Sent in an error report along with two of them about the screen sensitivity issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] ChildishSmef:

How many hours SOT after auto-brightness is turned off please?

My country will only have the 4G Exynos type too.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] ChildishSmef:
Flashing ring of pixels around the camera???
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] fncd:
Yes - Whether on the home screen, in a call, or in an app, there is a perfect "ring" (if you will) about 3-5 pixels wide around the camera that goes black for a split second or so and then changes back to the color of whatever it was displaying (think background color of a chrome tab, phone call, etc). It's impossible to catch as it happens so quickly. It's almost as if a perfect circle is turning off and then back on. And it has happened on both of my S20 FE, with or without adaptive brightness turned on.

I don't think it's something that screen recorder will even capture since that doesn't show the camera cutout, but I'll try!

EDIT: So I made a screen recording - and I think it was just the troubleshooting I needed to figure out what the problem is (was). . . When recording, the screen never shuts off, so there is no need for Smart Stay to activate (the camera checks to see if you're looking @ the phone to stay on). . . As soon as I stopped screen recording, that ring of pixels turned off and back on as it has been doing. I turned off Smart Stay, and it hasn't happened in the past 10 minutes or so. . .

I wonder if those that are seeing the high CameraLightSensor usage have Smart Stay turned on? It's not on by default - you have to look for it in settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] dzontra83:
I have smart stay off, accidentall touch protection off, face unlock off, and from today adaptive brightness off, and my CameraLightSensor is not working in the background when I turned it off. Auto brightness was definitely the culprit for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] fncd:
Yeah - I think they were two different issues - Auto Brightness causing CameraLightSensor to be active all of the time and then Smart Stay causing the ring flash that I noticed as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] dzontra83:
Yup, definitely, but never the less, even with CameraLightSensor off, I can only get 4-4:30h sot. Exynos is to blame, it is totally battery unfriendly.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] fncd:
Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. I've gotten up to 9 hours of SoT with my US Snapdragon model. And that was even with the CameraLightSensor issue. I didn't even know it was a thing until reading this thread. I originally stopped by thinking it was part of my ring issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] :
Huh strange I havent noticed anything with my S20 FE like that (using the 5G Snapdragon variant) I still have CameraLightSensor using about 3% now i do have Adaptive Brightness turned on (which I've noticed to be worse than the one in my S9+, sadly I traded that phone in)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] dzontra83:
It's generally ok for me, I don't need more of it on a single day. Only thing that bothers me is the overhearing, and sometimes thermal throttling, other than that everything is fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Davey Dual Sim:
Yep,I've got UK Exynos and this is the first time I've had to turn stuff off on a Samsung. I'm not a battery freak, I have every thing on and I'm never that far from a charger to bother but this is bad. Smart stay and face unlock have to be off for this phone to last more than 5 hours
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] dzontra83:
I think the same way, with auto brightness on, and smart stay off and face unlock off I could not reach 14h on battery and 3h of sot. Now with auto brightness also turned off, at least battery does not drain that quickly, I can get at least 16h on battery with 4-5h of sot.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] InfX:
So, whats the conclusion? Is auto brightness a battery hog? Is it on Exynos version only, or both?

I can't imagine myself using a device without auto brightness those days, and stuff like this can be pretty damn important for someone still thinking about buying this phone or not, and i've never seen a device where an auto brightness would be a battery hog, didn't even realize this can be an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] dzontra83:
It is on both, the since everything is the same except procesor. It is an issue because it apperantly doesn't have a separate ambient light sensor, and it uses front camera for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] InfX:
Unfortunately, this can easily be a fly in the ointment for me on this device. Especially considering the other thread where people comply about touch issues, so now i am worried about getting that too. Cutting corners on body materials and alike is perfectly fine, IMO, to cut the price down. Shaving dimes on peripheral hardware with this kind of impact on features is NOT. This may be one more thing for me (in addition to tons of bloatware, locked bootloader, and eSIM being disabled) to lean toward the Pixel5 (the main con of the Pixel5 for me is the missing SD slot, i don't care all that much about somewhat weaker CPU there).
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] dzontra83:
I was wrong guys, just checked the manual, it seems to have light sensor. The guestion now is why CameraLightSensor is working always in the background when auto brightness is on, when it has the light sensor. I hope it will be fixed in the future updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] jaseman:
That picture is wrong as there is no opening for a light sensor in that location. Easy way to test...hold your finger right over the front camera for a few seconds (10 or so) then while still holding your finger over the camera put the phone under a bright light bulb and remove your finger and watch the screen get brighter...then put your finger back on the camera and watch the screen get dimmer. The front camera is the light sensor. But, I like the way mine is working...better than the OnePlus 7 Pro I just sold, and I see no flashing anything, and the battery use so far today is only 0.1 %.
