[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] metaxda:
Question:

- If Zenfone 6 is unlocked, can it be 'relocked' again ever via full service firmware flashing / install ?

- If serial numbers are submitted to Asus, does this mean phone can never participate in any firmware updates?

- will Google Pay ever work, if the Zenfone 6 can be 'relocked', via service firmware formatting/update ?

( basically, I am asking whether flashing/installing the service firmware, brings the phone back to original/factory settings ?

would Google Pay still work, but OTA firmware updates will never work because ASUS blacklisted the serial number of the phone ? )

Background:

I have a Zenfone 6 phone, whose bootloader has not been unlocked.

I read that this phone cannot be unlocked using fastboot methods,

and the bootloader can only be unlocked with the official Asus unlock tool

The Asus unlock tool, sends the phone's serial number to Asus servers,

before giving permission to proceed with the unlock.

Unlocking the bootloader officially means:

- phone does not have warranty anymore

- phone cannot receive OTA firmware updates (but firmware updates can still be performed via SD card, etc.)
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] metaxda:
i think i found the answer to relocking the bootloader.

( however, the phone will be blocked from receiving all future OTA updates from ASUS,

because the phone's IMEI / Serial Number will be blacklisted by ASUS and all warranty will be voided )

fastboot oem asus-back
fastboot reboot (if it doesn't reboot on it's own)

can i install a SM-G930F custom rom in my SM-G930W8 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] riojosepha:
You indeed can, since the canadian model (W8) has the exynos chipset instead of snapdragon. The unlocking process is the same with the international model (F).

Just a note, if you decide to install a Pie ROM (Android 9) they may not come with CSC features (wifi calling, call recording, volte, etc.). Install this (clickable link), to install CSC for your service provider. (y)

Lol, every sd/sim card holder extraction seems sketchy to me... fun times if it jams.

I thought it was just a Samsung thing.

Check the card(s) for fit; sim cards are notorious for break off tabs sticking out, trim if so.

Note where the tightness is/begins.

Eyeball it carefully for uniform dimensions or a raised spot, same with bay.

Fine tooth file or 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper if need be... carefully.

So I got the nubia watch and it appears to me that there's a lot of hardware locked down in the international version. Even though nubia says that there isn't an e-sim the model still has an imei number. The watch has wifi connectivity which can be a vulnerability point that could potentionally exploit the hardware. The watch has everything in metric measurement and nubia lackluster hardware support makes it less likely for security patches to go through. The o.s is lack luster at best. I'm asking the XDA community to come up with some type of ROM to see what this thing is hiding. Its a treasure trove of technology that just restricted by the software. It also appears to have something of bone inducting speaker under the display that wasn't advertised in the press materials. I don't have the skill set to figure this out but I am currently in engineering school and from what I can tell on a hardware standpoint theres more to this thing than Nubia is telling us.

Looks like an app updated and now it's trying to redo the database part of the update over and over... Maybe adb logs would make it clear which app, hopefully one you just updated.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Skil0f1337:
Can you explain how to check adb logs and find out which app is doing this ?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] a1291762:
You need to unlock developer mode to run adb logcat. There's apps (MatLog is what I use) to view it on device, not sure if they also need developer mode.

If you boot your phone and see the message you can dump the logs and see if any of them seem to correlate. There's timrstamps but at boot time lots of apps start so that's maybe not helpful.

Autostarts is an app that can tell you which apps run at boot. But you probably have lots of them.

Hello is there a way to rollback from J730FXXS7CTH2 that is an android 9 back to stock android 7?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] settlethestorm:
Hello all!

I have a S10e, running stock Android 10. The wifi at my house constantly disconnects and reconnects, rendering my phone as virtually useless, as it switches between my mobile network and wifi. I have tried all of the trouble shooting I've found online, just short of a full backup/master reset. I'm trying to avoid that.

Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this? Better yet, how can I fix it? I'm rather annoyed, as I've had several Samsung Galaxy phones that have had minor issues, but nothing as annoying as this. I'm about to buy another model phone.

Thanks in advance 🙂
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] virginwin:
Hi, I have the S10e G970F_MMI - Singapore Snapdragon. Similar issues with wifi and bluetooth turning off immediately after update. Got one message from Wi-Fi control history that said Google Play services turned off wi-fi. I tried disconnecting Play services but that did not help however I am suspicious that it might also have something to do with Bixby Routines. Tried Samsung but no help as my phone is only 13 months old and 1 month out of warranty and I am not in Singapore but stuck in UK. Like you, I am a long time Samsung client with phones, tablets and TV's but I have now lost confidence in them. I tried factory reset and reflashing the custom ROM but no luck. I do hope that you can resolve your wi-fi issue and have a wonderful New Year.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] kodiak799:
Apparently, Samsung admitted the S10 series suffers from this issue. I noticed it on mine, just in the last month or two, disconnecting intermittently roughly every 30 minutes. I thought it might have been my router, but I realized it's definitely my phone (S10e US snapdragon).

Nothing I tried fixed it. I did disable "wi-fi power saving mode" and wifi auto connect (I have tasker auto re-connect wifi when it disconnects).

I do have "wi-fi san throttling" enabled in developer options, which shouldn't have anything to do with this. HOWEVER, you might try "wi-fi safe mode" under developer options and see if that helps keep it more persistent.

One other suggestion, though it shouldn't matter, is to try assigning a specific IP address to your phone (do this from your router settings, not your phone). And you can search for other solutions online to cut down on radio interference on your home network. Other devices and neighbors might be disrupting the router signal strength, possibly dropping it below a level that causes your phone to drop wifi.

Unfortunately I cannot, as the router I have is from my internet provider. I would have to run that to another router and at that point it's just a waste of money. Thank you for the info though! If I get annoyed enough I may buy a cheap router to see if it fixes the problem.

Phone model is SM-G960F. On Android 8&9 had no issues, and was able to even get VoLTE on Android 8/Lineage 15 despite the Lineage team's claims about no VoLTE support for Samsung-Lineage.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] trjons:
90 day warranty and 110 days after I buy it the keyboard starts to have letters that aren't working the first time I press them.

I know I have to replace it (myself), but I'm pissed off at AT&T for selling me a lemon!!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
First of all a "lemon" is "[SIZE=-1]A vehicle, usually new, that has a large number of defects."

The Tilt is not a Vehicle. Nor can it be considered "new" is its refurbished. Also, one defect after warranty does not mean its a lemon.

And when you buy a refurbed anything, you assume the risk that it will break faster then a new. Hence why its so much cheaper.

Is it frustrating? Yes, it is no fun in the end. But such is that risk of Refurbed Items.

[/SIZE]
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] trjons:
Ok, so not technically a lemon.

But I thought the real tradeoff in a refurb was taking something that had previously had a problem and was therefore scrutinized again and thus less likely to have another problem immediately?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] markgamber:
You take a gamble when you buy a refurb. Chances are fairly good you'll get something that was returned because it was "too much", too expensive, confusing for the user or something along those lines where the unit itself is fine. But you're rolling the dice by paying considerably less than full price and you may well end up with something that has a serious problem. The manufacturer generally turns it on and makes sure it looks ok but nothing more. They're not going to test the wifi, the keyboard, camera, etc, before stuffing it back in a box with all the rest of the crap that the phone ships with and sends it out the door. And when you consider that HTC doesn't care all that much about their brand new stuff, you're really rolling the dice with an HTC refurb.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] adoute:
If the keys work the second time you press them, a new keyboard may not 'fix' anything.

Searching the forum for keyboard issues will yield a lot of results. I know I've read quite a few threads about keyboard lag and missing letters while typing. Most seem to center on T9 and other auto-complete or auto-correct settings. You may find that you don't need a new keyboard after all - some software tweaks may solve your problem.

I bought a refurb Tilt, knowing it was a gamble. Thankfully, I haven't had any problems yet...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] khaytsus:
I got two junk Tilt's from AT&T before I got a good one. If the third one had also been garbage I would have probably been in serious trouble for what I would have done to one of their stores.

What really annoyed me MOST about it was when I got the second defective one I told them "LOOK, I've 'owned' this phone for 3 weeks and have yet to use it because you keep sending me CRAP!" and they said "Okay, look, tell us where you live and we'll get you to the nearest corporate store and swap it out tonight."

Of course I arrive at the store and they won't touch refurbs. At all. No question.

I got back on the phone in the parking lot and yelled at a few supervisors until they overnighted my new Tilt and took another $50 off of the $50 that it had apparently dropped in the last week, down to a total of $100 for it. Luckily the third one has been fine.

First two had serious keyboard problems.. One the keyboard had a big 'bump' in it and the keys around the right softkey would not work and the softkey was pressed by the screen all the time. The other one the screen freaked out whenever I opened it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] trjons:
Okay, I reverted to an older rom and it is definitely a keyboard issue. It only affects the b, v, and space bar.

The question is whether I just need the replacement keyboard for $29 or much more...and can a noob replace it without totally effing it up.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] killerbeans:
Honestly I can say that I have a refurb, had it for about 6 months now, and haven't had problem one with it. Could have just been a fluke thing perhaps?
