[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZodiacFam:
So it is labeled as "scam" because i see some websites saying that turning on low battery dump fixes battery drain and slow charging, so is it true?

Thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agonoize:
from my knowledge at a techincal standpoint this does not make any sense, a dump is just a report file and has nothing to do with charging rates or battery drain

each mobile phone and its battery have a maximum charging rate, and exceeding it will not make it charge faster, only might damage the battery and reduce its capacity - fir example a slow charging mobile will not charge faster simply because you are using a fast charger with 10w or 15w, even less by just enabling a report file

and battery drain can be software or hardware and has many different causes, which you have to analize and root out on each mobile
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZodiacFam:
I like this answer very much❤

How about i turned that on a while ago and i recently experienced battery drain after turning it and restarted my device, i decided to turn it off but i still feel the battery drain i felt after i turned it on. I noticed that android system was eating the battery the ehile day like 81% of battery consumed but before turning on low battery dump, android system only consumes about 26% of the battery :(

Any solutions i can do sir? Thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agonoize:
which brand and model is your mobile?

how old is it?

is it rooted?

are you using the original battery charger?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZodiacFam:
Samsung A10s

9 montha old

Non rooted, i've tried it but it won't work maybe it's not supported.l?

Yes i am using it.

And here my screenshot you might want to take a look at this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agonoize:
well, in 9 months the battery should still be good, it might be defective and you could try to get it replaced in warranty

but it might also be due to your usage profile, and/or to the apps you are using

try rooting with magisk
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZodiacFam:
Do flashing twrp will not work for A10s?

Only magisk?

Hey,

I decided to create a thread for the Indian users. did anyone buy any tempered glass for oneplus 8t? I'm still using the screen protector film it came with. going through the amazon I'm seeing some but the reviews are suggesting they are bad.
[OnePlus 8T Accessories] Abhhisheky:
I bought Affix tempered glass off amazon and it is the worst you can get . Doesn't fit the phone at all.
[OnePlus 8T Accessories] rahulje9:
Thanks for the update.
[OnePlus 8T Accessories] Abhhisheky:
did anyone find any decent tempered glass that we can put along with a case???
[OnePlus 8T Accessories] prborich:
Looking at this one https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B08MXXYP4S/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3NDZ7FEXNYWD4&psc=1 but is expensive, Popio has some good reviews
[OnePlus 8T Accessories] rahulje9:
I think we can afford this phone, this price can be justified. But there are 0 reviews.
[OnePlus 8T Accessories] rahulje9:
Sadly no, I have bought the OnePlus sandstone case, their tempered glass will fit with the case.
[OnePlus 8T Accessories] Abhhisheky:
for 900 rupees i think it's better to go for the Spigen's tempered glass
[OnePlus 8T Accessories] Abhhisheky:
popio one is nice many people are saying .
[OnePlus 8T Accessories] rahulje9:
Bought the Poipo Tempered. it fits well and I didn't find any issues, unfortunately, while applying a speck of dust was caught on the tempered itself so that's there. I'm using OnePlus original case and no issue there too.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] Ysull:
Hello everyone,

I am wondering if there are any ways to know if the Huawei P20 Lite has its bootloader unlocked or not without erasing all of its datas. I am looking for a way to root it without paying for its bootloader code, as I am unsure if these are scams or if my phone is already unlocked.

I bought it on amazon, it's not affiliated to any mobile company, so I thought maybe it's unlocked... Or are the mobile company lock different from the bootloader lock ? It's also from EU (France); ANE-LX1 (C109) model.

I am a complete neophyte into this, as the only other phone I ever root was a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which was a very easy task.

I saw guides on how to root it without its bootloader code but I have no idea which to trust. I don't ask for you to search for me; I have tabs and tabs opened but I am also anxious by the idea of trying anything that could lock it and force me to pay for its bootloader.

Thanks for your answers ! Have a good day ! (6:25 am when I'm writing this here ^^)

EDIT : Well the more I read about rooting it the more I'm thinking it's not for newcomers.. Any tips/easy guides ? Because I feel like every guides I found are assuming that you already know things.. Which I don't :c
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Hello,

- "I am wondering if there are any ways to know if the Huawei P20 Lite has its bootloader unlocked or not" -

everytime the phone starts up, it goes to a screen saying: "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted..." (the most reliable method)

- "Or are the mobile company lock different from the bootloader lock ?" - yes, you can check SIM-lock status in "Project menu" - dial *#*#2846579#*#* from the phone dialer, select Network Information Query > SIM Lock Info

- "how to root it without its bootloader code but I have no idea which to trust." - best way to brick your phone :)

If you intend to unlock your bootloader , you have to downgrade to Oreo - EMUI 8.0 via HiSuite , then you must downgrade to lower build number with Google patch 04.2018-06.2018 . Now you can get bootloader unlock code for 4euros - DC-Unlocker.com or hcu-client.com.

Each bootloader code is permanent, it wont expire, you can use the same bootloader code to unlock if your bootloader will be lock again for some reason.

For further explanations try asking here.

[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] S1nPur1ty:
Downloading through the website doesn't work, because I recently updated my firmware through OTA and I bought my OP 7T Pro in Shanghai. I am trying to root my device by using this tutorial:

watch?v=VGjYuvoBpPA <-- YouTube URL

However, I am not sure if this is the only way or if there are better ways of rooter OP 7T Pro devices without needing the payload data as described in the YouTube video. Any help is appreciated!
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Hw4ng3r:
You basically have 3 choices to acquire the boot.img:

1. Payload Dumper

2. TWRP and adb

3. Download the stock boot.img for your version of Hydrogen OS (if it exists)

There are "auto root" tools out there, but not sure how they are. I personally used #2, but payload Dumper works quite well too.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Kevorex1:
Pretty sure the auto root tool on here works on any version of ROMs. But keep in mind that when you wanna perform a OTA update after root using the restore image method, the auto tool backed up the extracted stock boot image on our pc rather than letting Magisk does its normal job and store in our phone the way Magisk wants. What I mean is that we essentially lose root first and need to re-run the auto tool after each OTA update. I'm just lazy to get perform the normal methods, so I just double click on that auto tool each time and let it does its job each time I lose root after each OTA update. I remember it actually worked flawlessly and let Magisk back up the stock boot image at first, but then after some OTAs later when I messed up and reset factory settings in recovery and had to re-root my phone using the tool, magisk acts weird and stopped storing a back up boot image in the phone.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] S1nPur1ty:
I did eventually unbrick my device, because for some reason I ended up not being able to call anymore. When unbricking, I installed the EU version and everything seems to be working fine now. However, I regret for not backing up the root data; because the Chinese version has Oneplus Roaming option where you can use internet in any country without having the need for any sim card. Also, you can record any conversations without any third party apps needed, so it's unfortunate. I wish I could install the Chinese version again, because they really were a big help in the past.

Hi guys, i bought this phone 4 months ago and till now i still dont know what the heck password to decrypt data storage. i did google a lot and tried some password like : default, default_password, password or something like that. And when i install new rom. It bootloop to twrp. I can only install new rom after flash stock china rom and flash new rom. because data storage is ENCRYPTED.

thank you
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] bilalrajput:
to erase enycryption u have to first flash force decryption universal zip and now u have encryption ,only 2 solutions are available, Erase all data using twrp ,format if if it can but if doesn't, you have to use miflash tool to flash stock rom

Your encryption password should be your phone password
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] phuocrose:
my phone password is wrong cuz i did not set password for my phone. it bootloop from start. and even i use phone password. it didnt work also

anyway can you give me file name to find. i searched and found nothing about this file. thank you
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] bilalrajput:

[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] fmcheetah:

If you come from global stable or any other custom ROM and want to change to xiaomi.eu: format data

If you stay on Xiaomi.eu stable, update normally: (wipe davlik and cache)

If you change within xiaomi.eu weekly to stable: format data

If you change Android version on Xiaomi.eu : format data

[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] Fangstergangsta:
you can try to change the file system of the partition f2fs to ext4 with twrp and reverse it.

I had this problem on my old Lenovo p2 and the only way i found is to change the file system and reverse it.

When you change the file system the data encryption is bypassed but you loose all data.

Best time to start over, flash miui rom with miflash.(no need to configure the rom, restart in fastboot with the xiaomi password)

Then install the TWRP and above all do not wipe anything!!!

Which rom do you want to install?

[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] Moon75:
You don't need to install TWRP on phone but just boot from TWRP.img.

I had same problem, I think TWRP encrypted the phone. Solution use Mi flash tool to flash stock rom. Then on your PC make use you have Adb tool folder, put Poco-F2 chinese twrp- chinese-f2.img in same folder as TWRP. You don't need to install TWRP on phone but just boot from TWRP.img. Use command on pc from c:\Adb folder where there is fastboot, cmd: fastboot boot trwp-chinese-f2.img phone should reboot and boot from TWRP. Then in TWRP you can flash rom or copy rom zip file to phone and flash it. Format data if needed to and reboot to system. Phone will still on stock Recovery not TWRP.

[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Mangoon:
So, no difference in the hardware and radios from what I read. I got the XQ-AS72 and I'm on Verizon. Initially, the IMEI said that it wouldn't work on Verizon. But if you get with the right tech rep on chat, tell them that you need to set up a CDMA-less phone. I did it today and got the phone working on Verizon! Only using LTE, but Verizon is killing off 3g (read: CDMA) at the end of the year, so can't imagine that will be an issue. Off to the races with a cheaper phone with double the internal storage than what I could order in the US....

Update: Phone works on Verizon. Did an online chat with tech support, and told them that I needed to be able to activate a phone as CDMA-less. I got hooked with a dude who had been with them for 7 years or so and he's all "I know exactly what you want to do and how to do it." Half hour later, I'm on the network and swinging large!

Huh! That's the main point and problem. For now I\We don't know any working way to check xperia 5 II CID. If we could it would solve a problem with device region identification.

@Cptnfruitloops - You have HK or TW. I can't tell which one directly - or at least from shared info.

@LOCKDOC_UA - Did you try to explore firmwares? I guess it can help you with your effort.

Very interesting for identification is also "LTA version" (Yeh I dumped it from FWs). At least for XQ-AS72, where it can be used for distinguish CN from SEA and from TW/HK (they share same elabel). It won't help to distinguish XQ-AS52 versions though, since they share same elabel.

Anyway, those labels are quite interesting in few ways.

For example TW/HK version contains information about charging voltages/currents:

And for example Japanese versions (SO-52A) contains FM radio (If you check its FCC ID: PY7-08372L https://fccid.io/PY7-08372L - compare with European version FCC ID: PY7-310Z https://fccid.io/PY7-30637Z which doesn't have it.

[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Cptnfruitloops:
Does anyone know what ROW_Commercial means?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] centaurian:
@LOCKDOC_UA

Its simple - they decided to turn it off since it (modem HW) doesn't support 5G bands used in US (It support only bands 1, 3, 8, 28, 77, 78 - none of those will work in US).

Because of that you can't market it as 5G phone in US - Support would be overwhelmed with questions from customers - I bought this 5G phone and it doesn't work with my operator? Which operator should I use to get 5G? We are sorry - none will work. So to avoid it they simply decided to turn it off.

Also forget 5G roaming - It doesn't work anywhere yet - so even keeping surprise overseas 5G doesn't make any sense.

@Cptnfruitloops - I guess its current used modem configuration, but may be I am wrong.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Cptnfruitloops:
That's interesting I bet all the phones support FM but you just need to enable it. ( I'm sure it's not enabled in other phone versions because of laws ) Hopefully on the future someone will find a way to enable FM on the other models.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] LOCKDOC_UA:
From first view it's indeed simple. But I still have a few questions and remarks:

1. I figured out that Snap 865 has no built-in modem. It just created to work together with Snapdragon X55 5G modem (includes 2g, 3g and 4g).

2. Sony Xperia 5 II XQ-AS72 at Taiwanese official website declares support of 5G BAND Bands n1, n3, n8, n28, n77, n78, n79

3. Sony Xperia 5 II XQ-AS52 at German official website declares support of 5G BAND Bänder n1, n3, n8, n28, n78 (Bands n77 and n79 are missing because they aren't used in Germany\EU? They just didn't indicate those bands or disabled ?)

4. Samsung Galaxy S20 with Snap 865 was declaring 5G support for US. Here is interesting material for reading https://omdia.tech.informa.com/-/me...ltra/latest-5g-modem-and-rffe-designs-pdf.pdf

Where saying

So I'm still very confused about different models of X5II. Now I am sure that Snap 865 is not a reason of support or no support of some bands\countries. There is something more. Like antenna modules or so. Or maybe there are different versions of X55 modems for different regions?

But the main questions: Did sony make only one version of hardware in terms of modem capabilities and just playing with it with firmwares of different models (regions) really have different modem hardwares? I still didn't get it.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] centaurian:
My bet is its same modem (HW) with different firmware. Bands 77 and 79 has no use in EU, so there is no need to have them. Those are only Asian thing. Once again - 5G roaming isn't available yet. Honestly only 5G EU band I really care is n28, rest is just nice to have, but not important at all.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] LOCKDOC_UA:
But what if to flash US model with EU or asian firmware? I know a guy who flashed AS52 firmware on AS72 device successfully. Only one issue he has is no OTA updates ))
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] centaurian:
Depends on what are you trying to achieve. I can see purpose of flashing AS52 over imported AS72 in EU. It will likely enable VoLTE (+5G?) for some EU operators. But flashing AS72/AS52 over AS62 in US won't bring you anything (no 5G, likely no VoLTE, just problems).
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] LOCKDOC_UA:
Actually nothing) I own an EU device and using it in EU. So I don't need to change\flash nothing. I was just curious how it all works. And I also curious if China version is completely tha same as HK\TW\SEA devices and their firmwares are interchangeable.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] LOCKDOC_UA:
Last question. What type of wall charger did you get inside your box? Was your box sealed when you get it? UK\HK or CHINA\TW\US?
