I'm on Android 10 (Xiaomi EU ROM - MIUI 12). My phone is encrypted, still I can access all my files inside /data partition and internal storage (which is inside /data too right?).

When I boot into TWRP recovery mode, it asks me for decryption password. If I provide password, it does decrypt, that's good.

BUT even if I don't provide password, still all files are accessible. how is that possible?

also if the device is not encrypted somehow (bug maybe?), then what exactly TWRP decrypt when I give the correct password?

I looked around a lot on the forum and from what ive understood theres a way to do it by changing the csc or smthg. But im an absolute noob and dont know what any of this means. Can somebody give me a ste by step guide on how to enable the e-sim. I currently have a SM-G985F/DS
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Caosss:
On pc: download samkey from org site (just google it)

Download and install samsung usb driver

Buy credit (you need only one)

On your phone:

Enable developer mode and adb

Remove sim card and all sort of lockscreen

Connect phone on pc, open samkey app and click on read info (phone will show up a popup asking for some permission, just consent)

Now looking on samkey interface you will see a text box named csc. Wrote there a csc having esim enabled (like btu) and click on wrote csc.

Just click there and you are done.

This will work only if you have dual sim variant, then should enable esim. If you have single sim variant, so you will have only csc changed without esim enabled

If you are already on lastest security update no.

If you dont ever update your phone and your firmware is on bit 2 or lower, there is a modded theme that open a secret menu to change csc for free.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Catmobile:
Pull down the status bar, in the quick toggles you see a little phone icon, by default at the 2nd quick toggle page. Move that quick toggle to first page by rearranging the quick toggles. Every time you connect your tab s5e with wifi you have to reactivate call and message continuity with that quick toggle so you need it manually a lot. Then both calling and sms work flawless. Until you disconnect wifi. If you don't manually quick toggle after connection with wifi you will only receive missed call notice or SMS only.

It's a workaround.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Catmobile:
Tab s5e Android 11 came over air. Call and message continuity did no longer work. Did factory reset of Tab s5e. Still didn't work with exception of SMS.

Solution turned out that in the mobile phone my Galaxy S8 something must be done.

It's called Reset Network Settings.

This is what it made it work, had to do this in my Galaxy S8.

Go to your mobile settings menu by sliding down the status bar:

After that choose Main Menu and Settings.

Navigate the list of settings tap General Management and Reset.

In the next step select Reset Network Settings.

Read the information in front of you and choose Reset Network Settings one more time.

Don't forget to setup Call and message continuity again. It should work.

This might be necessary after every firmware updates for mobile or tablet.

[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Exinu:
I have a brand new Moto G7 Play XT1952-4 (old stock, new in box) that I bought specifically to flash LineageOS. I have done this process with two previous Motorola phones over the years, but I seem to be the only person on the Internet with this particular problem: When I restart the phone into bootloader/fastboot mode, any fastboot commands that I send over to the phone hang the process. So this works:

>fastboot devices

XXXXXXXNVN	Motorola Fastboot Interface

But this or any other fastboot command that communicates with the phone does not work:

>fastboot getvar all

<process hangs, ctrl-c will not interrupt it>

Sometimes while this command is hung, the simple interface on the phone locks up and the volume up/down and power keys are not responsive. If I unplug the USB cable, the fastboot command will fail and return and the phone is responsive as normal. What is strange is that fastboot worked initially.

When I first powered up the phone without Internet access, I enabled Developer mode and ADB debugging, and fastboot worked: I was able to run 'fastboot oem get_unlock_data' and I used that to retrieve my unlock code from Motorola. When I ran 'fastboot oem unlock XYZ' the phone told me to enable OEM unlocking. I rebooted the phone to find this option was disabled, so eventually I connected my phone to Wifi and the option was enabled. However, the phone began applying updates, so I waited until the updates were applied and resumed my operation. This is when the trouble started.

From that point on, fastboot has failed to work: no error messages, it just hangs. I have tried two laptops, two USB cables, two versions of fastboot (the Ubuntu 20.04 stock version and the 'latest' 30.0.4-6686687 from Google). I have factory reset the phone from Settings, factory reset from Recovery, and I let it go ahead and update to Android Q and repeated all of these things.

The only thing I am left with is this is some kind of hardware error with the USB port on the phone. If so, I wonder if I can make a warranty claim on 'fastboot commands do not work'? I am able to 'adb shell/push' fine, and the phone charges fine.

Any ideas?
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] maw1:
I had the same problem i reinstalled adb and fastbood but that not worked than i reinstalled my entire system and installed fastboot + adb and it worked

The the command on a other pc out.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I think if it was a hardware issue, 'fastboot devices' would not display you ESN, thus indicating fastboot is ready. But I have to agree that this is quite unusual behavior for fastboot mode to hang up like you described. It could certainly be a corrupt bootloader partition (/aboot ??). You should try using the Lenovo-Moto Smart Assistant utility to do a full rescue of the firmware. Treat the phone just as you would if it was unstable or failing to boot. The LMSA utility actually utilizes fastboot mode to do the firmware rescue. So if you could get this to work it could possibly solve the problem. Here is a link to the 32- & 64-bit Windows versions of LMSA. I know you mentioned using Ubuntu, but I'm not sure if the utility is available for Linux. https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds101291

We have a Macbook and I downloaded the "Command-line tools only" kit for MacOS from https://developer.android.com/studio/, and it worked!

[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] toddgee:
Adding this here as I ran into the same issue and was able to work around it.

Performing fastboot "oem'"commands from my Linux Mint machine (Ubuntu based) was failing.

I discovered that if I ran the commands from just any directory, the command would hang (and not even a ^C would break the command!). This action referenced the file '/usr/bin/fastboot'. (This file from the 'fastboot' package.)

$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data

<hangs>

HOWEVER, if I referenced the version of 'fastboot' stored in the Android SDK directory '/usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools', the command worked as normal.

$ /usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools/fastboot oem get_unlock_data

...

(bootloader) Unlock data:

<snip>

What's strange:

- Both files (/usr/bin/fastboot & /usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools/fastboot) are both from the 'fastboot' package

- Both files are identical.

Why one would work and the other wouldn't is a mystery for another day.

Hey guys, rooting noob here and I'm just trying to play some games that need a touch profile so my best bet was to go to droidmote. But my shield needs to be rooted obviously. I can do it on the PC but that seems like a bit of a hassle and I'll go down that route if I have to. However, I seen some post where some people used kingroot. So i'm just curious in 2020 if that still works??

And also, if there's an easier way to manage to get a touch profile onto the shield with or without root, please let me know!

And if not if anyone can give me a tip on the best easiest way to root a android TV? thank you! :)

I advice you, first flash TWRP recovery. Good news is Official TWRP is made for this device and you can find and download the recovery in Official TWRP app (download from PlayStore)

Xiaomi Mi Note 10 code name is Tucana (see the attached screenshot)

Once TWRP is flashed then root it via Magisk zip.

Hi

Anyone used one of these cases, just wondered how they fit, do they increase the overall size of the phone by much and is the finger print sensor easily accessible i.e. for using drop down notifications.

Any problems with wireless charging?
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] sacchypon:
I have one and really like it. Really not much of a size increase to the phone. The cut out for the fingerprint sensor is perfect, not too large like previous version (I came from a Parallax for the P2XL). No problem finding the sensor or using it for the drop down of the notification menu. There's a nice lip of the front, even with the Spigen tempered glass screen protector. Overall fit is snug but easy to remove.

Can't speak to wireless charging since I use the cable.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Morpherios:
I upgraded to a Pixel 5 because my Pixel 2 XL was experiencing hardware issues and was going to die. Among them were battery degradation that was leaving me with maybe 3 hours screen on time from a full battery.

The Pixel 5 so far has been barely better. Additionally I went to bed last night with about 79 percent battery, I woke up around 48 percent. I have no idea what's going on but this is fresh out of the box, I got it Thursday like everyone else in the USA. Is this normal? Can anyone suggest how to figure out what's causing this drain?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] DAE1964:
I loose 4% overnight. Maybe an app is running in the background. Check WiFi for poor connection or background scanning.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] TokedUp:
You might wanna FDR and start fresh. Sounds like something might be hung up from the setup. All reports about battery have been stellar so far.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Morpherios:
I did have scanning on, so I went and turned them off. I have a Verizon variant, so I can't root. Do you have any recommendations for how to track down a rogue app or service that might be draining the battery?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Morpherios:
I did do the setup where you transfer data from your old device. I guess maybe I need to bite the bullet and do it fresh.

Do you know anything about the... I think the setting is called Always On Display or something like that. The setting where when the phone is locked and the screen is off, it always displays the time and notification icons. I had it on my Pixel 2 and it worked great, it's almost necessary for me at this point. I have it turned on also on the 5, but it seems...finicky? At times it shuts off, especially at night. I used to keep my Pixel2 on my nightstand (just laying flat, not on a stand or anything) and the time would be on all night so I could see it at night if I woke up. With the 5 it seems to shut off in the dark. Additionally periodically during the day it sometimes all of sudden jumps to really high brightness, then back down to dim, sometimes it turns off completely and I have to hit the power button or the fingerprint reader to unlock the phone. Even doing the tap to wake doesn't work. Actually that double tap to wake doesn't seem to work at all regardless.

Any info on any of those issues you know about? I've been searching around and I've found basic references to some stuff with that always on display but no direct threads or anything specific.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Not too sure about AOD, I just went with defaults. But last night, my first with the P5, I unplugged at full charge and 7 + hours later it was at 100%. That's never happened but it was face down and on DND. Nonetheless, check out this thread, download the app, non root needs certain permissions, and let it run for a day or so. It should show you what you need to know.

Did you make sure to charge the phone to 100% before using it??? These lithium ion batteries need to be charged to the max if you want them to last.

Also on Verizon, but no issues for me. Battery life has been amazing, I didn't charge last night (unintentional) and I was going until this afternoon, with mostly light usage. I've never experienced something like that before.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Morpherios:
So in case anyone is interested in this, I actually have a hardware defect that was discovered by a user on reddit.

Link Here

The gist is that the proximity sensor is (i think) detecting that something is up against it all the time. This creates issues with things such as the phone screen not turning on when you pull the phone away from your ear when on a phone call, Issues with tap to wake and lift to wake not working, and Ambient display/always on display (whatever it's called now) constantly changing brightness and/or shutting the display off completely. Literally the phone could be sitting there on the table and all of a sudden the always on display goes to max brightness, then down to dim, then up, then shut off completely. I assume all this craziness is hitting the battery hard.

I am trying (although frustratingly) to get Verizon to exchange it for a new phone. My phone acts exactly like in that thread. There's a proximity sensor app that will detect when something is near it and change color. Mine is solid colored and won't change unless you press on the glass near the sensor. Just in case anyone else has this issue come up, there it is.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] squall40:
That's a myth. You don't have to charge it to 100% first you got it. They are already calibrated and ready to use- in fact, for battery longevity, you should keep your battery between 20 to 90 (or even better between 30 and 80) percent charge.

And for storage, its 30-60%- so the 65%charge from yours was just fine =)

The thing with the "full charge first" relates to the older technology with nickel-cadmium batteries.

Just for clearance
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Morpherios:
So I've gotten a replacement phone and the proximity sensor issue seems to be fixed. However my battery life is still really not good. I went to bed last night at 64 percent, and woke up about 6 and a half hours later at 55 percent. Driving to work I was listening to a podcast with the screen mainly off, and by the time I got to work (about an hour drive) I was down to about 51. I can literally watch the battery drain while I'm using the phone, a percent every few minutes. Screen brightness around half or so.

When I had the other, faulty phone, after I did a factory reset as instructed by Verizon to see if it fixed the sensor issue, I didn't really "set up" the phone with apps and things because I knew I was just returning it. At that point the battery was pretty good.

With that said, I do believe it's either a setting, or it's an app. I did *not* restore apps this time when I got the new phone. I manually installed everything fresh. However I think I did choose to import settings. I also did contacts of course. Wifi scanning and bluetooth scanning are off. I do use ambient display but I didn't think others were having this issue.

I am not rooted but I just got better battery stats installed and used the ADB method to grant permission. I'm hoping it's going to figure out what is going on here.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Vio281:
5G is better than LTE theoretically for battery. Doesnt matter if you in a sucky area and constantly hunting for signal.

Think of 5G as having 5ghz wifi with the range of 2.4ghz band. less congestion means less latency = more data transfer at a higher rate with less collision and less work on your phones to actually check for data integrity.

its one of the things that people do not understand about 5G. Therefore they keep b****** about speed, its not the speed you should be worry or care for, its saturated band on certain frequency that will slow you down.
