[LG G8 Questions & Answers] sivandahan7:
I trying do flash custom kernel to lg g8 device with success, I do the following steps:

I downloaded the exactly kernel sources from official lg site

Build the kernel according to instructions (README file)

Unpack the original boot image (via known script unpackbootimg.sh)

Replace the zImage and repack to new_boot.img (via known script mkbootimg.py)

Flash the kernel via fastboot ("flash boot new_boot.img")

Doing restart

Unfortunately, the operating system does not start up and doing restart again and again. Do I need to disable some features in the kernel ? I see in lg g7 everyone doing this with twrp (wipe partition and doing factory), Do I missed something ?

Thanks,

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mpore14:
Hi,

I have a Note 8 New Zealand version bought from Spark

When a Spark SIM is inserted to the phone, the VoLTE option pops up as a toggle under Mobile Settings. When I plug in a Vodafone SIM in it, the option disappears.

All functionalities are present except that.

I've tried installing the latest firmware from Vodafone but it remains the same.

Under Service provider SW ver. it still shows TNZ/TNZ/TNZ

I've also had a look using Phone INFO app and it says this:

Product Code: SM-N950FZKATNZ

Firmware's CSC Code: XSA

Active CSC Code: TNZ

Available CSC Codes: NZC, OPS, TEL, TNZ, VAU, VNZ, XNX, XSA

CSC Country: New Zealand / NZ

Mobile Operator: vodafone NZ / 53001

I've installed different stock ROMS (using Odin) from different countries including, Australia, UK (BTU), Germany, France, and OXM ROM. I'm out of options. I've also tried the CSC changer that I've seen on a s20 forum but it didn't work. Anybody knows how to enable this option for the device?

According to the website, it should support VoLTE

https://www.vodafone.co.nz/our-networks/volte/

I'm on official Stock ROM.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] hausjellp:
I used my phone a few days ago then put it on a shelf. The battery ran down and I left it. I then plugged it in, turned it on and left it to charge. When I came back to the phone it said 'No Sim' or similar. I have taken the battery out, cleaned the connections, taken the sim and memory card and done the same then put it all back. For some reason the phone will not recognise that I have put a SIM in there. I do not have another SIM to test but why would it suddenly stop working? Could this be a radio problem?

I am running Oops Black v1.0 WWE Rom WM6.1 CE OS 19949 on an XDA Orbit.

Thank you!
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] hausjellp:
Please...anyone...help?

I cant call my girlfriend, friends or family :( I have no money to buy a new phone and O2 have said that becuase its out of warranty they cannot help.

I have tried flashing the phone with a new ROM but that has not made any difference. I managed to test the SIM earlier on another phone and the SIM works fine. Must be the phone.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] votum:
You just need to hard/soft reset until it picks up the SIM. I was just having this issue with my Kaiser and you just need to keep puttin the sim in and out until the phone picks it up. Also try putting the sim into the sim slot and pushing it down onto the contacts.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] hausjellp:
Thank you for the reply. I have tried doing that but with no luck. It still does not like the SIM :(

Hi,

I need to root my samsung galaxy s10 (I want to upgrade to rooted android 10), but without internet connection to the device.

I can download all resources to my PC and connect the PC to the device, but no internet connection to device (long story, but I really have to do it like this).

How can I avoid Magisk need for internet connection? In Magisk manager app it says "no connection" and there are no install buttons and menu...

Thanks very much :)
[Magisk] dlads:
On the OnePlus 8 pro I simply patchb my boot img extracted using payload dumper then boot it via Fastboot then directly install using magisk.

You would need to patch it using magisk.

I don't believe there is another way to root without magisk at this point in time.
[Magisk] terry1990:
Is there a way to patch it with Magisk but without internet connection?
[Magisk] dlads:
Just tried on mine, I guess not.

Do you not have an internet connection at all??

Surely yourself, a family member, friend, neighbour, local WiFi hotspot could get you online.?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
On devices like yours, that need to have Magisk installed to recovery, no. Not at the moment. But the Github issue request wasn't closed outright, so there's still hope that it might be available one day (surely sometime during this decade).

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Never heard of the brand of SD Card you're using.

My guess, since it's brand new, it's defective at best.

I'd return it for a refund & get a better known brand such as SanDisk or Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Eudeferrer:
My guess is that you have a faulty SD card. I would return it if I were you or get a new one. Cheap SD cards malfunction often. I've been a victim myself. That's why I only buy reputable names from sources that will accept returns if damaged. I've lost precious memories due to this issue.

Just put the card back into my old Note 8, just to see if it happens on that phone,

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
A hard reset (OS reload) of the phone effectively addresses viruses, trojans and old OS loads but little else.

Many times the same settings issue remains to be toggled or triggered again.

Find and address the core issue directly.

•Clean card contacts with a tissue and 97% isopropyl alcohol.

•Do a low level format on card if this doesn't resolve the issue, replace the card.

This card works perfectly out of the box:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Low Level Format

Do a low level format on the computer using a apk like Lexar's designed to do a low level format. Simply wiping the card isn't enough sometimes and without a low level format it will remain corrupted.

Sharing a card between two devices can cause card corruption, try to avoid doing so. Usually you can swap between two Androids but be very wary of swapping with other devices like cams etc. Do a full format in the new device to ensure compatibility and stability. Not doing this can result in corrupted card even if it may seem to be functional at first.

You can lose all the data on the card like this and even if you can recover it, it will be in bits and pieces... more or less a useless heap of disjointed data.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] jools2001:
I did all the low level format, on both cards, but it still didnt stop the card playing up in my Note 10, and actually corrupting 2 pics,

so i wasnt going to risk that, just needed to make sure it wasnt the phone at fault, as it was only a few days old, but guess it was the card!

lets hope it goes ok from now on! lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Sorry to hear that.

I've never blown out a ram stick or SD card.

Remember they can be destroyed by one ESD event; their data ports have limited ESD protection. It can happen instantly or fail weeks even years latter, multiple smaller ESD insults can cause accumulative damage over time as well.

•Never touch the contacts.

•Keep static charges low by keeping RH at 50% or higher in the room.

Lol no wool sweaters.

•Touch yourself to an earth ground to discharge any static buildup or use an ESD strap/mat to keep everything near the same potential.

A little extra care can avoid a lot of cursing latter on...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] jools2001:
Only ever had one sd ever fail a Toshiba one!

And a pirate one sent from Amazon Warehouse as like new!!!!

Mend pc's in spare time,. so know all about static, perhaps this card was stored next to wooly jumpers in Amazon warehouse! lol

Trust me to get a faulty one! :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
If you play with a good ESD meter you'll be amazed how much of charge you can build up on almost any nonconductor. Once the RH drops below 20% ESD becomes very problematic and widespread.

High G impacts ie dropping a chip onto concrete from 3 feet can also kill a chip.

ESD is what kills most of these cards and ram sticks though. If you can see, feel or hear static it's already enough to damage semiconductors. Punch a microscopic hole through an insulation layer only a couple microns thick (doesn't take much voltage to do that) and it's a done deal.

Their service life is tens of thousands of cycles so it's doubtful one will wear out prematurely if used with care. High cycle usage though can wear them out.

My oldest flash cards are 16 yo and still functional.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
When you say "fail" what do you mean?

A low level format couldn't recover it?

Showed multiple bad sectors?

These cards can be corrupted fairly easily but can be completely salvaged with a low level format.

Without it they will be inaccessible and seem to be "dead". Even new cards can do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Village_Idiot:
I mean as completely dead and unusable. It would not recognize the partition. Sandisk had released a bad batch of 128GBs a while back. They were unreadable on multiple devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
May have been dead but a corrupted card will behave like this. A 3rd party PC low level formatting app can access these corrupted cards and repair their file structure.

Normal formatting tools like Windows one will do nothing if it even can register their presence at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Village_Idiot:
When I mean dead, I mean DEAD. I was unable to do ANYTHING. The partition was not even readable. I used different tools like Recuva and EASUS and got nothing. I've been using SD cards for YEARS. I know how to fix them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
If the computer software can't read what's there you won't see any partition. Androids wuv to do that.

That doesn't mean it's dead... as long as you have a low level formatting tool that it shows up when connected it probably is salvageable. Make sure any needed Window drivers are loaded...

If you've had multiple failures it's time to reexamine what you're doing.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] TheMountain:
I'm just about to pull the trigger on this beautiful foldable, the only thing I'm worried about is that I use my device the most for watching movies, youtube and twitch.

That black bars kinda bother me.

The other thing is about the durability over time of the screen because I think it will eventually brake after some years of folds. Am I wrong?

Please help me decide beetween this and Oppo Find X2 pro. (I don't care about the price tag as I want to keep the new device for at least 4 years and enjoy it the most)

About my second choice is because I want to fully enjoy a QHD 120hz display and I'm not worried about the battery life for many reasons.. (I had that device and was perfect for me but I experience some pink tint issues so I asked for a refund)

I don't really like do the lottery and hope for a better screen with Oppo or Oneplus screen.

I hope someone can help me.. thank you in advance,

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Mekrel:
You're going to get black bars because of the screen ratio of the device when unfolded. You get smaller black bars when watching in landscape unfolded, but then the camera hole punch cuts into the video content. In portrait you get bigger bars and smaller content, but the hole punch is within the top black bar.

As for durability, I've read Samsung have tested for a certain number of folding/unfolding which equates to opening the device 100 times a day for 5 years. I can't remember where I read this and can't find anything when Googling.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] StormCell:
It's supposed to be rated for 200,000 folds. Check out the Fold 1 Forums and ask folks about durability. The Fold2 is supposed to be a lot better.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] brazcub:
I've had mine for 2 days now. My previous phone was a Galaxy S20 Ultra which I'm now putting up for sale. Before getting the Z Fold 2, I also bought a Surface Duo, used it for a day and hated it, so I returned it.

It has been a learning curve with the Z Fold 2 because it's such a different device. Still not sure I love it but it's definitely growing on me. The weirdest thing was getting used to the small cover screen but I am now used to that.

I will say that the hardware is fantastic although it is a more fragile phone because of the folding screen and lack of water and dust proofing.

I don't think I'm going to have issues with the screen as long as I don't fold with something in it or press it too hard. The black bars don't bother me - that's just a result of the screen having such odd aspect ratio. The screen is a beauty. I still can't believe Samsung pulled this off. Yes the crease is there but really not an issue.

The only other issue I have with it is how slick it is since my case hasn't arrived yet but I expect that to not be an issue with a case.

I think if you decide to go for this phone, you'll like it a lot as long as you are willing to go through the learning curve of the new form factor. Worst case scenario you can always return it for a refund.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] krabman:
I saw it as a brilliant yet highly flawed device when I got it. Now I cant use a regular phone anymore, they're completely ruined for me. I would have preferred the device be wider because I still don't like the front screen to this day and a little wider would be all it takes to fix it. That inner screen though, shes a beauty. The internet is so much easier to browse in that format, games look fantastic, videos are unfortunately not as good as they could be thanks to the idiotic placement of the inner camera. Yeah, I know why the decided to put it there and I disagree with the decision. This phone is all about that screen and the stupid placement makes videos smaller than they should be or puts a hole in them. Neither should have been happening because it hurts the phones best attribute. As I said; flawed. I cant however go back, regular phones seem ridiculously limiting now.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] yetiweston:
I upgraded from the OG Fold and love the 2, Marked improvement all over.

The hinge is also a lot stiffer with the added functionality in the Fold 2

Watching content doesn't bother me, you get used to the black bars and it's still a much bigger viewing area than a regular phone.

My only concern is you wanting to keep it for 4 years, this is obviously new technology so no one is going to be able to say whether it can last for that length of time. I had the fold one near 9 months and never had 1 issue with it, no issues with the screen or folding.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I go with a Note. They will last 4 years and are dust/water sealed, add a good case and you're good to go.

If you charge the battery wisely (40-65% charges) you may get 4 years out of it too.

The 10+ is a proven performer and comes loaded with Pie if you prefer that OS as I do. It's got 2 OS upgrades so it should take it to 11 at least.

The 20U may have some minor issues but it seems like a solid Note.

Both support massive SD cards and are fun, fast, responsive machines with drop dead gorgeous displays.

Samsung has over extended its self both technically and financially on the Fold devices I think to spite all the glowing reviews.

Browse the forums of other current Samsung models here to get a better idea of just how small the niche is for this device. Its novelty alone will make it harder to get online tech support for. Samsung online/phone support sucks; some of the worst I ever experienced.

I blew off upgrading to the 20U because Samsung didn't give me anymore bang for the buck than my 10+.

In addition to that was Android Q with its scope storage is a performance hit not seen with Pie. It will also render legacy apks I use a lot most likely unusable.

If the Notes don't provide enough real estate, the Fold 2 be your only choice for now. The next generation should be better.

Lol, Samsung claims the conformal coating on the Fold 2's PCBs are it's waterproofing. Pure hogwash; all the switches and micro connectors are vulnerable.

I would never even consider a smartphone without water and dust sealing. Even my ancient first flip phone had them.

10 years latter it's still functional...
