[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] IntellectualMoto:
Adaptive Battery Off: This lets apps run in the background the way they were originally designed. This boosts performance by allowing all RAM to be consumed in the background. Good for Speed. The bottom line is killing apps in any way to help battery will make it worse.

RAM Efficiency On: Before I stated that killing RAM was pointless but on the Moto G Power there's a option called RAM Efficiency. This option was designed by Motorola technicians what it does is kill apps you hardly use. This allows that RAM to be redirected to apps you use more frequently. Neat Option I like it.

Developer Options: Hit build number in settings then go into developer options you must disable mobile network always active. For some reason it's automatically enabled on this phone and decreases battery life for the sake of faster speed. If your WiFi drops the app you're using will automatically save your packets if not the app is poorly written. For example in Call of Duty if my connection switches my packets are automatically restored and I can keep going. Keeping this on will waste your battery.

Some people will say turning adaptive battery off is bad but I digress. It will collide with the RAM Efficiency option which is better at handling RAM. The battery saver will save you 5%-10% yes but it kills your apps and slows the system down too much. Adaptive RAM is better at redirecting and closing apps and it does the same thing as adaptive battery it's just called something different. Adaptive battery just kills apps you don't use for better battery it doesn't redirect it to apps you use often.

Unfortunately the option to avoid poor WiFi connections is gone. So battery was sacrificed all together to keep you connected to WiFi even though you have no signal. Poorly poor choice whoever made that decision.

This is for US unlocked variant only.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] majormatt:
SOLVED - Update below.

Hey guys,

I have an S9 (SM-G960F) which appears to have auto-updated during the night and as a result will now not boot. I am making an assumption it was an update of some sort as when I checked the time on it at 1am it was fine, when I woke around 8.30am the phone was off and when powering it on I ran into the issue. To summarise, I power the device on, get the Samsung loading screen, then the black swipe pattern screen to decrypt the phone, followed by the padlock unlocking loading screen, then the phone reboots. Sometimes however, the device gets past the padlock loading screen and says it is optimising apps, which is then followed by a reboot, briefly says it is installing system update before landing me at the Android Recovery screen.

What I've tried:

- Soft reset

- Booting in safe mode (same result as booting normally)

- Clearing cache partition

- Clearing app data

- Lacking storage booting (the device was quite low on storage last time I checked)

Some other (maybe) useful info:

I haven't updated the phone for months, could be why it did an auto update.

I'm on EE in the UK but IIRC the phone is not locked to EE.

Android Recovery has the following info when I load into it

samsung/starltexx/starlte
9/PPR1.180610.011/G960FXXU2CSB9

(options to try again, erase app data, power off, view rescue log)

#Reboot Recovery Cause is [system_server:12259 RecoverySystemRescueParty]#
Support SINGLE-SKU

Block-Based OTA
Supported API: 3

Viewing the rescue log presents me with a stacktrace , the top of which is

*** FATAL EXCEPTION IN SYSTEM PROCESS: main
java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to create service com.android.server.job.JobSchedulerService: service constructor threw an exception
(followed by the rest of the stacktrace I can get a picture of if necessary)

My goal here is to recover the photos on the internal storage as they don't appear to be backed up to Google photos, nor Samsung's alternative - which is particularly painful cause I'm the one usually preaching backups.

Is there anyway to recover the OS to retrieve data, or pull the data off the device without wiping it? I'm open to any suggestions on how to do this, the main goal here is saving my photos, hence why I have avoided a factory reset from the Android Recovery menu.

Hope I've been clear enough, but let me know if I need to clarify anything. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions!

Thanks,

Matt
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] majormatt:
Hey guys,

After spending all day tearing my hair out with this I managed to fix it, so I guess this thread can be closed. For anyone who gets into a similar situation...

I attempted to solve this by flashing the current firmware using Odin and booting into "download mode", found a copy on sammobile.com. This didn't work, leaving me in the same situation, and as I felt I was running out of options I tried using the latest firmware for my device. I found a copy using a tool I found on these forums - Frija. Fired up Odin and download mode again, selected the AP/BL/CP/HOME_CSC (I understand using HOME_CSC is important so as not to cause a factory reset) and this worked! This left all of my files intact and as a bonus I'm also up-to-date with Android too. I'm backing up my photos as we speak as I would hate to be in this situation again! :D

Hope that can help someone in the future.

Cheers,

Matt

Thanks for your reply rscreen but is there a way to pin protect with SensorLock?

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] jipderkman:
Today I finally made the step of switching to a custom recovery/rom on my Xiaomi Mi 9T. The first and last time installing a custom rom (2 or 3 years ago on ZUK Z2) was quite a long time ago, so I checked several videos showing bootloader unlocking and all those steps.

one video used orangefox and I tried to flash it onto the device. The guy in the video used Yuware to flash orangefox and it successfully flashed it and I could also boot into it. For my Z2 I used a usb-c to usb-a connector and I would have gapps, rom etc on a USB drive. But I didn't have one on me so I booted into the phone to place gapps, rom and vendor (new to me) by dragging the files onto the phone storage using my PC. Once I booted into recovery the custom recovery was gone and it went to MI recovery 3.0

I tried to flash TWRP with ADB and Fastboot, and I managed to do so but still, when I wanted to go back to TWRP after booting into the phone it went back to MI recovery.

This is really annoying and there are some similar posts on forums but I haven't found a solution. I hope somebody can help me
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Right after flashing TWRP from Fastboot, immediately reboot to TWRP:

>> fastboot oem reboot-recovery

You must enter your Android unlock pin for TWRP to be able to access Data (and Internal storage)

After those two steps TWRP should stay - if still not (?!) you would also need to flash lMagisk patched boot image or flash Magisk from TWRP (with that, TWRP will definitely stay, it always does ) or VBMeta ((I'm not familiar with, never used, google about)
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] jipderkman:
Really appreciate your effort, but it did not work :/. The command let TWRP boot and also asked for my pattern. But when I turned it off, and went into recovery mode it just went straight into the mi recovery again.

Magisk is actually a root right? I do not have any experience when it comes to that. If Magisk lets me keep my TWRP, I'd be happy to install it. But will it affect any other apps, causing me to get bypasses and stuff? Because I use snapchat on a daily basis but i'd find it disappointing if I have to get through several fixes if I went on to install Magisk. Or is that something I will just have to accept?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] zgfg:
With Magisk hide you will e.g. get SafetyNet to pass, currently it should be failing for you because of detectimg that Bootloader is unlocked (if you are on stock firmware)
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] malowz:
everytime i updated the MIUI, the recovery went to stock. then i install twrp, then reboot directly into twrp, then flashed recovery again in twrp, then rebooted...

Apologies in advance if this the incorrect place to post this.

I bought an unlocked US S20 5G (SM-G981ULBAXAA) from Amazon a few weeks ago and immediately upgraded to the Beta as soon as I got it. I distinctly remember that OEM Unlocking option was available under Android 10/OneUI 2.5 but it is gone from Beta 3 in Dev Options. I filed a ticket with Samsung's Beta program but not much of a response there.

Did anyone else notice this? Is this only a temporary thing for a duration of the Beta or is this going to be permanent?

That's only for Exynos variants and a handful of Asian Snapdragon variants. None of the US editions of any S20 model have OEM Unlocking available by default. Those with US S20 models need to get in touch with one of the unlocking services available, they cost anywhere from $100-$150 USD.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] MaddKorben:
Hello.

I've got my second Live Demo Unit of Galaxy Tab S4 (SM-T830). I didn't have any problems with first one: I've entered retail mode configuration with 5444 pass and M729Q16K8546 code then flashed stock firmware and that's it: I've got fully functional Tab S4.

New one has firmware build T830XXXU1ARG4_LLK and retail mode is disabled, there is no FRP, no account linked, I can make factory reset either using settings or recovery. But! Device has some limitations: battery stops charging at 70%, I can't remove demo software and device is not updating to actual firmware. I think I can remove all of these limitations after flashing stock firmware.

I'm trying to flash stock firmware but Odin fails:

SetupConnection..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

OEM lock is on according to download mode string and I can't disable it because OEM Mode toggle is missing in developer settings. Of course I've tried all methods that Google search provided: disabled date & time sync, changed current date, rebooted, but that method doesn't work for my device.

What else I can do? Should I wait for a week or I can disable OEM lock using alternative methods?

Thanks in advance.

[Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers] CipollinoDuck:
Hello everyone,

as many of you, I also want to lock my bootloader after finding that my X2 Pro bought used few days ago was unlocked and with TWRP installed.

It was stuck to Color OS 6 with security patch updated at february and it had installed Magisk.

I tried to flash Realme UI but I couldn't because it had installed official TWRP and not the right one.

I formatted everything and after some hours of research and trials I managed to install Realme UI with security patches updated (october).

Now, I don't have TWRP but official recovery instead. No signs of Magisk and any other data because I formatted everything few time during my flashing trials.

I don't have fingerprint and face recognition, I think due to the fact the bootloader is unlock, yet.

To overcome this, I found a video-guide used for X2 (not Pro) in which I saw that after flashing the Realme UI, rebooting recovery and formatting data, those sensors worked again but with X2 Pro this procedure won't work.

To recap: I have official firmware and recovery, no fingerprint and face recognition. I think that I can use the official guide for locking the bootloader again as the app says that I can roll-out from the in-depth program.

Was someone in my situation? I mean, locking the bootloader with FP and FU disabled before relocking?

I ask this because I found a thread in which the user said that it was necessary to make FU and FP work again before locking the bootloader.

I had this phone for less than a week and I can't take a decision.

Thank to anyone in advance.
