[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Spixe1:
I recently received my Fold 2, Chinese version (I live in China), and while it claims to have google services, there is no google play on it (google apps don't come preinstalled here). I've tried going to the online (browser) google play store to download it but it won't recognize my fold 2 device. I also searched the native samsung app store, but it's all chinese apps (grrrrr, I wish I had a US version, I hate all these chinese apps), so it's not available.

Can someone tell me how to get google play on my Fold 2 Chinese? :confused:

Thanks a bunch.

Edit: I had hoped to buy an HK version of the phone, which I couldn't. Is there an HK Rom i could flash (I looked at the ROM threat but didn't find any mention of it), and when flashing these ROMs, do they still receive the Android updates? I flashed one for an old HuaWei I had and it never once received an update.

Bump. Only question I really care about is how can I get Google play on my phone. Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] sufeng:
Look at sammobile.com

There you can download and flash over Odin. Check first if it's compatible with your device. Otherwise flash back to your chinese Rom. Do this all on your own risk.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Spixe1:
I found the apk itself, installed it, and it worked fine. Should have done that in the first place instead of looking for a way to make the device show up in the google play online list. Thank God I did that instead of flashing it, in which I probably would have ended up bricking it in one way or another, haha. Thanks just the same :good::good:

Hey Guys,

Greetings.

Could someone with a Chinese version of the Realme UI do me a massive favour and upload the stock apps of Realme UI, especially the Calender app. Use the APK extractor app from the Play Store if you're not familiar with APK extraction.

Realme OS global uses Google Calendar as default. Realme OS China has a dynamic stock calendar app.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could provide that.

Thanking you in advance

Peace :)

just like the Title says...

F***ing weird problem: Phone charges fine with all chargers besides the original fast charger from google :good: ??

google charger < i have 3 from 3 different pixels, work fine with other Phones

weirdest thing: every time i set the device up with new software, doesn't matter if custom rom or stock, it charges for some time till it suddenly doesnt, never start charging again afterwards.

this is what i did to find out what causes the Problem:

Searched the f out of the internet - many People have this kind of problem, no real solutions

what i tried so far:

cleaned the port

changed the charger/cable

tried stock rom without any apps < unlikely but tried it anyway

tried custom rom's < yes, different ones

tried custom kernel < on stock and custom rom

tried safe mode < just for good measure

no luck

just slow charging with non oem chargers

what the frick, realy...

does anyone know what causes this?

any idea is appreciated

Member posts 82,Thanks: 22

Hmmmm..... it's clear that the gap between camera lens and plastic rectangular bump should be filled to prevent intrusion of dust,,,,,

For all new Curtana users

Just apply a macro(small) drop of glue and rub it along sides of lens and let it dry for few min. it may make a seal to prevent dust from going inside ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, just a small drop , better use a transparent glue

For those users having dust inside camera lens

Use a strong jet of air , don't use HOT air it may damage internals (sometimes jet nozzle is available with vaccum pump) and blow it in all the 4 sides of rectangular lens this may help. Else go to Authorised Mi service center

This is a poll for CURTANA u may participate ?

[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Guides, ] T.Y.M.SAI:
Now with broken nothing can be done

teardown your phone and find a Curtana glass protector (Amazon, Flipkart, Alibaba) and fix it in place for original camera lens( might be a hard process)

Or

Else go to Authorised Mi service center ?

[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Guides, ] T.Y.M.SAI:
everyone concerned should have a look at this thread. apparently there is a gap between top-glass and the plastic camera hump with the worst gap in top right corner (main camera corner) and a smaller gap in bottom left corner supposedly letting dust through.

i took some macro shots of the four corners of mine.

both images are of the SAME worst top-right hand corner gap of my phone in slightly different angles . one seemingly has a gap other doesnt. visually its very tricky to find the gap, i would advise trying slotting the gap with a thin paper to find one if there is. i tried and could'nt. maybe it is fixed in the new ones, only time would tell.

the only proper solution i can think of is wicking some glue into the gaps with a piece of paper

first of all, excuse me for my bad english...

OK, to the problem !

when i have no programs running my diamond use up around 80-90% of ram..

what can i do about that? i've closed all the programs...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pwoyorkie:
Just so you know, you can save 10mb of memory by turning off the phone skin, i personally prefer it turned off and its by far worth the memory savings.

I used advance config to turn it off but im sure most of the tweak programs will have the option built within them.

thx i will try but i need to update rom. i need to backup this rom but how??

and when i update rom will i lose my igo8??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Htc86:
Currently 64% (after soft reset), but sometimes close to 80%, even if all apps are closed...some hints on managing or lowering the % of Ram would be very useful...with Fdcsoft task manager one can see, that the largest process running is cprog.exe (9464kb), device.exe (3832kb) and gwes.exe (3589kb), others are particulary smaller...guys, is there any other way to shrink the %?

Edit: will try that phone skin option...thanks

Im using the SWIFTBL 5.0 rom, my memory as we speak is 48%

Ive applied quite a few reg tweaks though

Guess i will have to do the rom upgrade in the near future...

With disposable config apps, and phone skin off, i managed to lower the RAM to approx 55%...starting to like it now :)

[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] lefttobleed:
Try files from the verizon unlock guide in guides section. I have a g7 emw and i unlocked using those files. Btw you have not mention what model yours is.

If that doesnt work, try from a different PC.

After you get qfil to work, take complete backup of all your partitions.

After that you need to be on android 8 to follow that guide.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kro78:
Thank you, lefttobleed. I will eagerly jump into the Verizon unlock guide as suggested. I will make 6 backup copies of my partitions once qfil gets going!!

The model number I am working with is: LM-G710AWM // Android 10 Software Version: G710AWM30b

Thank you, again!

[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kro78:
Thank you again, lefttobleed. Following the Verizon unlock guide, I was able to access partition manager through QFIL. I believe, either the re-downloaded QPST (version?) or the SIMPLE overlooked item was within the reinstallation of QPST... I care not to admit what the potential root cause of this might be :(

Last night was spent backing up the partitions of the G710AWM. While perhaps overkill, I captured the long list from partition manager in order to correlate the backup *.bin files. I sincerely hope there is in fact 93 partitions...and that I did not miss one in my exhaustion.

While there is no panic yet; I do suspect I am again confusing myself while going back and forth between guides (NOT a complaint in any form, I rather enjoy everything I have learned and completed thus far). On the note of the various guides, thank you to: Emanel000000, Awesomeslayerg, netookska05 and lefttobleed. I cannot possibly thank everyone...... :)

Edit - I missed a few key points: I think from the AS guide, only the abl_a.bin is replaced; when I did this and rebooted, I could not access fastboot after approximately 20 - 30 attempts; the phone booted up normally (loading from b partition?). Booted back into EDL and replaced the abl_b.bin as per this (Eman00) guide. Backed up laf_a and laf_b to be safe. Rebooted phone to red triangle, and eventually fastboot loaded. Tried fastboot oem unlock and received "failed: device unlocked!". Fastboot continued to report this "fail device unlocked" message.

My G7 now boots to red triangle, and eventually to fastboot. No problem communicating via command line. Rebooting in various ways results in: EDL, download mode, firmware update mode and fastboot (after red-tri). I am about to use QFIL to flash V35 again to A/B, then erase the LAF.BIN files. I believe I deviated somewhere between this guide and Awesomeslayerg's guide.

Happy Oct. 31, for those that do something today! :)

Thank you, again!

[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] lefttobleed:
Welcome... Very good progress. Even i sat and backed up my complete partitions tediously.

Anyways, Doesnt that error mean your phone is already unlocked? Check in developer options if it is unlocked.

If not unlocked, make sure you are making changes after cross flashing to an android 8 rom. Refer images in v40 guide linked inside verizon guide, to see how the bootloader should look if successfully flashed.

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] rand0mUsername:
I borrowed an Xiaomi Redmi 4X from a friend of mine. Need to configure it as a temp phone since my primary one is about to be sent on a warranty. The Redmi had a Mi account configured and a lot of personal stuff was on this mobile, so I did a factory wipe. Now the phone wants me to login to a Mi account when I boot it, even before a configuration screen appears.

As I said, the phone is not stolen or does not come from an "uncertain" source. It's my friend's old phone (his wife's actually, not even sure she knows he gave it to me, heh). Supposedly she's unlikely to remember her Mi account password, but it's likely that the Mi account this phone is linked to is also being used by a newer Xiaomi phone she's currently using (so that seems to be closing an option of her providing me credentials to the Mi account "my" phone uses as I would also get access to her current phone).

The goal here would be to "free" this phone from the current Mi account so that I'm able to set the phone up without influencing the existing account that the phone seems to be linked to.

The best approach would be not to take time of my friend (or his wife) at all to reset some passwords, generate unlock codes and so on. So I'd be happy to simply flash the phone with whatever needs to be flashed and be done with it. Event found some links on the forum, but not sure about those programs a) working, b) being malicious-stuff free.

Alternatively I could ask my friend to do some magic on his side (ie. generate some unlock codes) but only if that would not take a lot of his time and is a simple, one-time-only operation.

What I tried so far was to reset the phone while holding volume and power buttons, enter recovery mode and do a full factory wipe (did that a few times actually). Unfortunately, it had no positive effect.

So, guys, help me out, please. What are the options here? Thanks!

Hi, so I know you can enable wifi calls on your Redmi note 7 phone, but that doesn't mean wifi call will work. I believe phone operators needs to support your phone for this. I use "Onecall" which is based in Norway. They only support iPhone's, Samsung phones, and a few huawei phones.

Is it still possible to make this work? I really do need wifi call, and now I'm considering getting a phone that truly supports this feature in Norway.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] N1ck474:
I think it's an IMEI based feature,for example here in Italy with Vodafone just some devices can use VoLTE and some of them needs to be sold by Vodafone with a branded software, so the VoLTE will work only on that IMEI, i don't know how your carrier work but i think it's something like that.

Test this

VoLTE *#*#86583#*#*

Those commands is just so that VOLTE or Wifi calling will appear in the settings which I have already done. I have also enabled it of course, but still not working.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] vlouis:
You need to have the volte service enabled by phone operator for your sim card. If working for some phones (ex. Samsung) it's like my operator (Digi EU), it's enabled automatically for some IMEI types. If you can, try to keep your sim in a supported phone, or try to ask the operator to enable the volte service.

This way you can make the volte working, for the vowifi... if you are lucky, your Redmi Note 7 have a working vowifi modem config for your operator... I needed to change the modem profile using the Qualcomm PDC tool...** https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=83310915&postcount=26
