[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] dimbo33:
The phone has been exchanged for another one by the eBay seller (one of the best sellers I've come across fortunately). New unit works as expected.

The units are sold as unused but opened. I suspect that what may have happened is that someone had previously stuck the SIM removal tool into the mic hole at the top thinking that it was the SIM tray (as it is say on the S10). The A51 has the SIM tray on the side. If you push the tool hard into the mic hole it will obviously damage the mic.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DrLaban:
I just wanted to say that the GPS in the Diamond is one of the better I have ever used.

I am now running the .08 radio ROM and the GPS Fix is under 20 sec.

But, thats not all. Now I also got FULL GPS reception in my VW Multivan.

Some of you maybe think.. "ehhhh.. whats so amazing ´bout that??"

Well, my car got this special windscreen that F**k up the reception of GPS´s and mobile phones.

I think that I have tried 4-5 different GPS devices (pocket pc´s, tomtom´s, garmin etc)

and I had to add an external antenna to get a good reception.

But I tried my diamond yesterday, and I got FULL reception with the diamond in the same position on my dash. (in under 20 secs of course =) )

So.. GO HTC.. GO GO GO!! =)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] KukurikU:
lol! it seems that you and me have some special diamond. using iGO8 and driving a Peugeot 207S with the same type of windscreen. even my athena has a hard time with finding satellites....the diamond is "on" in under 1 minute!

i posted a link to yr post at the longest and saddest GPS thread:D:

today I was on toilets and doing ... finding something on iGO8 map and WOW I had full signal and fixed position...its true that we are on last flor but I didnt expect this!!! never got signal with kaiser on same place
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] KukurikU:
time management at his best!:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] StarMonkee:
I'm still impressed with mine when I manage to get a signal indoors with no windows around :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] aydc:
I love my GPS too. We need more posts like this. It's so easy to critisize a few weaknesses, but this is a masterpiece of a telephone with such amazing features despite such a small size.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Shahd:
confirmation

I can only confirm that the GPS in Diamond ist the best one I ever had.

Total connection in less than 20 Seconds (sometimes even in only 10 Secs).

I think, there is no other device with such abilities.

Due to my job, I have to use it more than 10 times a day for various address and I can only say, it works really very reliable. I use íGO 8.

To get TMC-Information I use additionally at the same time also an another TMC-GPS-Device (GNS 5840). They work great together. GNS-5840 ist very cheap to buy it as used and delivers ony the TMC-Signals.

All in all a wonderfull device without any problems. Simly amazing.

:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] studz:
Yeh, same for me too... very rare mine takes more than 30 seconds for a fix... no matter the app I'm using, or where I am. Even indoors, I quite often manage to get a fix.

Remarkable piece of kit. :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DrLaban:
Not only me then =)

Finally I can remove that ugly external GPS antenna from my car.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] g-fall:
right, the first time i tested GPS on my new Diamond I thought: wow, what is wrong here, this is too fast. But, no, it was working.

My previous phone was the Kaiser, and even with the old WM6.0 ROMs, it took much more time, not even to mention the WM6.1 :mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] counterfitninja:
Im seeing the same. Takes about 15-20secs to get a full lock. Seems to work all the time every time.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] huwwatkins:
Similar thing here, upgraded to the .07 radio and things are much better! Lock in 15-20 seconds. I was walking down the central corridor of the hotel I was staying in at the weekend and it still managed a signal - ok so it was the top floor but still!

Now if we can have the same revalation about 3g performance :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vibecatalin:
With the 1.93 rom mine stays like 30 sec to get signal... with the older rom 1.37 i think... it stayed like 10-15 seconds... but the lag was the same....
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] kmarci76:
Hey, so i broke my phone, because it fell from a high place, and it broke the display completely. The mainboard is okay.

I really need a way to acces my data. luckily i have twrp installed, and i am able to reboot it there, and the touchscreen appears to be working.

I have to blindly touch the screen to enable MTP in the twrp. i have the older twrp, where you have to manually enable it, but dont know where is it. Can someone guide me?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] ThatLatinGuy:
Assuming that touch still works try entering recovery mode , then connect it to a pc and then try to do the swipe to unlock in twrp

It should be about .5 to 1 inch from bottom to top , maybe even closer to the bottom of it worked and twrp is unlocked you should see the phone being dectected , then try get to touch mount , it should be a little more up and to the left than the swipe to unlock , then on the bottom right corner you should have the option to monut . Attached a picture I found that may help locating the buttonsView attachment 5162535

You could also try a usb hub and connecr your phone to a hdmi display + mouse and keyboard , but those can cost 25 USD and upward , good luck!

Edit:typo
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] kmarci76:
Sadly, it does not show up in my computer. But i know i did enable mtp, because twrp freezes for a sec or two when i enable it. The usb datalines might be damaged, as i see it, because with the official charger, my usb diagnostic thing reads 5.13 volts, with 0,21 amps. RIP i guess, or i dont know what to do other than pay someone to fix it.

I tried ADB sideload too, but it didnt work either.

Guess i have to buy a new phone, or pay half of the original price to get it fixed, wich is not something that worth it.

I think im gonna buy a new phone, and let this puppy rest for a while, then i'll buy a cheap LCD screen for it, then repair the screen myself.

Edit: the phone is a little warm, if charged. hope nothing is wrong with the battery. It seems to be bootlooping, but when the system startup finishes, i could hear facebook's notif sound, so data is probably fine, i'm just unable to get it out from there.

Assuming if there's any problem with the USB port, i wont try the hdmi, mouse, keyboard method.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] peter couniaz:
Can you boot system if so put the latest smart switch on you PC an backup your data .
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] lumpygiraffe:
if you have twrp .. then you don't have to worry .. just press and hold volume down and power button for 6-7 seconds .. when the phone vibrates release the volume down button only and press and hold volume up .. (don't release the power button yet) wait 2 seconds and then release the power button.. so now you're only pressing the volume up ... press hold it for 7-8 seconds... your phone will get into twrp ..

connect your phone to your pc.. and voila your internal storage is on your pc..

p.s- don't forget to install Samsung drivers before you do this...

p.s - it's too late for this solution thou but if you're still searching for solution... this will help and only works if twrp is already there.
[General Questions and Answers] MELiiiKE:
And already root problems...

I've been following this video from a dev guy in here, but can't find the post right now. Anyways, i did exactly every thing he did, step by step.

The only difference between him and I, is that his baseband-version is: "G965FXXS9DTD7" while my baseband-version is "G965FXXU7DTA3"

In his video as i've givin' a link to at top of my post, in his description he have everything needed to be loaded, and also a webside;

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s9-plus/firmware/#SM-G965F

Where i can find other versions, but mine is not on the list.... So i just tried his version and hoped for the best.

But now when i try to go into /data by the app called "Root Explorer" it says my phone is not rooted. But when i go into Magisk Manager, it's all updated to latest version and all good.

I don't know how to check what i did wrong or how to fix it... Can someone please help me out here. And maybe guide me step by step or direct me to an already existing guide..

PS:

If this thread is in the wrong section, please move it to the right one - this forum is also a bit confussing for me, but maybe thats because of the headache....

Regards

Martin S
[General Questions and Answers] ThatLatinGuy:
Download root checker and see if yo have root if you do check inside magisk , maybe you blocked root Explorer's permission by accident
[General Questions and Answers] MELiiiKE:
It says "Congratiolations! Root Access is properly installed on this device"

But how can i block Ecplorer's permission? Haven't done anything in the Magisk Settings? :S

I need(ed) to move 1 app i downloaded (GPS spoofing) to /system/apps like in the guide im following, but the "Root Explorer" said when i was trying to, that my phone wasn't rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] ThatLatinGuy:
If root explorer asked for permission and you skipped it may have not given it root access , you could try reinstalling root explorer and give it root permissions right away
[General Questions and Answers] MELiiiKE:
When you just said that i came in mind, when i downloaded the app and opened it, it had a "allow" or "not" window to storage, but when i tried to click on that some came up for a second when iu was tapping on the screen.

Must have been that, for now i reinstalled the app and it came up again, where i could grant Superrights.

BIG THANKS!

Hi, I have a Pixel 3 that won't turn on, won't charge, won't get into recovery mode, and gets recognized as QUSB_BULK_CID:xxxx_SN:xxxxxxxx when connected to a pc. I am an ignorant regarding phones, flashing, etc... Is there any way of getting this phone to work again?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] droidbot1337:
if it doesnt power on then how are you connecting to the pc? i dunno about this but you might need to do some hard troubleshooting. replace the battery and if that doesnt work then you might have a bad motherboard.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] aespinal:
I'm just connecting it through USB to my pc, I have never rooted it, it was in perfect condition, the battery was healthy, it just happened overnight.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] droidbot1337:
Oh.... Okay. In that case, get into recovery by pressing vol+ and powering on. If that doesn't work, then get into fastboot and see if your pc detects your device.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] salman22:
Interesting. I have the same problem and it started a few days back. Nothing would appear on screen, not even the charging sign if I plug it in. However, when i connect it to my PC, i get the same popup. It was a perfectly healthy phone until this. I have given it in to a repair shop here in Dubai as there's nothing much I could do with a black screen.

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] sazeraque:
OK, this is really getting weird. My wife's phone just did the exact same thing. I've never seen anything like this so I thought it was an oddball thing, but this thread tells me otherwise. I wonder if the Pixel 3 is just a ticking time bomb or if we all did something to brick them. I know in my case, I just recently (2 weeks ago) replaced her charger with an Anker charger from Amazon. Figured maybe that could be part of the reason. Anyone else have any suspicions as to what might have caused the issue? I'm going to work on trying to bring it back to life or at the very least recover as much information from the device as possible, so if anyone's already working on that, please share with the group!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jasestu:
Another Pixel 3 here, same symptoms - died overnight last night, no visible signals on the device but plugging to a pc shows QUSB_BULK. Can't detect the device with adb. Attempts to power cycle don't seem to achieve anything.

As far as causes, no idea. It picked up the monthly update earlier in the week and was rebooted then. No change to the way it had been getting charged.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] ac43:
Same thing happened to my Pixel 3XL last night. Reached out to Google support and they said the only option was to get it repaired for $380. Ended up picking up a Pixel 5 today instead.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] vickyashokshah:
Wow! This has to be some kind of major update done by Google to brick people's phone like this. This happened on my POCO F1 phone after connecting to a OnePlus Dash Charger. Be careful guys just take warranty services and hope you will at least get a refund on the amount you have invested.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] TeeMack:
Oh wow this literally just happened to me today. I picked my phone up from my desk and checked my notifications, put it down and then picked it up 10 minutes later and it was completely bricked. This is what Device Manager shows:

My phone was at 50-60%. I've tried everything. I guess next would be to let it die and see if it boots back up. I have some important data on this phone that wasn't backed up. I hope there's a fix :(.

Same thing happened to my Pixel 3 this morning. Everything was fine last night, woke up this morning and the phone won't turn on or reboot. Power button isn't responsive, Power button + Volume down to get into recovery mode is also not responsive. When I connect my phone to my PC I also get QUSB_BULK_CID:xxxx_SN:xxxxxxxx.

I did some searching around and it sounds like the phone might be stuck in Emergency Download Mode? Anyone have a solution on how to fix this issue?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jasestu:
Phone is stuck in Qualcomm's Emergency Download (EDL) mode. We need a signed, model specific "firehose" programmer to be able to restore an OS. While some manufacturers publish these files, Google does not. Unless one leaks for our specific model, Google has just destroyed our phones and rendered them useless while we slept. Don't go out and by another Google phone because they just killed your current one.

Same. Woke up this morning to a brick. Google support has no advice. My phone is completely stock with all updates installed so the previous theories that Google had released an update that fixed the problem is unfortunately wrong. Off to dig around for advice, but I think I'm pretty much SOL.

So it looks like the phone is just bricked now, throw in the garbage?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
Not the garbage, find a place that will recycle it. Google "phone recycle"
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] LandoCat:
Had the same issue as you all. Bricked phone over night, wont do anything and shows up as a QUSB_BULK.

Local repair centres are being less than helpful and Google's response was very dismissive.

In regards to me highlighting just how big an issue it is they said

" I understand your concern about this issue being posted in multiple public forums. I'd like to inform you that we do receive users with such issues and we help with the troubleshooting steps and most of the issues are resolved. Also, based on the volume our product development team do inform us on a daily basis if there is any known issue. I assure you that this isn't a known issue. "

So its not an issue? I just had Google brick my phone and now I can't afford another one right now so its a nokia 3310 or nothing for me for the next three months or so? Won't be replacing with a Google phone thats for sure.

My Pixel 3 got ****ed the same way last sunday over night. Shows up as QUSB_BULK_CID.... in device manager.

I guess that's it, Google just cuts off their old products since there's a newer one (btw my Pixel 3 looks like new lol). Really really disappointed. Feels bad to be so powerless about this.

Edit: reading this even happens to Pixel 5 users really scares me even more out to get the 6. When even the newer models are affected how are you supposed to use it without constant fear of it getting bricked again over night??? I was really happy with the overall Pixel quality. Up to now.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Halflifecrysis:
I tweeted @ChimiclesLaw around Dec 21st when my 3XL bricked sitting on the charger. This law firm has handled a class action against Google before.

Anyway the Pixel 6 is having record sales! I wonder why? How many people have no clue about this and just thought their phone died naturally and got a new one. You think the Verizon sales people are saying anything to people lol.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] iker_turon:
Today, after a few days worried about this ****, my pixel 3 has dead in the same circunstances. During the morning at around 1 pm, screen goes black, and only can connect pc and read "QUSB..."

Tried to contact Google support, tried scalated to tier 2 support, and only get "Send to repair to Google" (431€ in my case), and nothing more, out of warranty and goodbye.

Was thinking about get a pixel 6 (i keep a nexus 5 working till the days), and was planing to keep this pixel 3, but now i don't know what phone buy, but this makes me think: NOT A GOOGLE PHONE.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Halflifecrysis:
I bought my 6 about 35 days before they bricked my 3XL, I was outside my return window or I would have. I was going to buy an S21 and I am so mad I didn't.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Yungkeeev:
So it's exsactly the same except your repair is 4€ cheaper than mine! Lucky guy lol. But yea I was also planning on getting the 6 sooner or later this year, while putting the 3 to the side as a Backup.

I'm so frustrated by this, it really avoid me from buying another pixel, I'm a big fan, as I said, of the nexus phone days, but this hurts me too much to buy another pixel.
