[Google Home] GuyInDogSuit:
A few days ago, some of my lights, plugged into smart outlets, stopped responding. I couldn't get them to turn off or on via my phone or my Hub.

I tried clearing my app data. No go.

So then I got the bright idea to delete my home entirely. Didn't work, either. Then I realized they had another app of their own I had forgotten I had installed, so I went into that, removed all three, and set them up again. So now those work.

But the one "smart" bulb I have installed, can't be re-added, and I can't seem to add my Hub 2 to the speaker group (my gen1 Hub and Home mini show up, though). The bulb is one of those "C by GE" ones, and I tried resetting it by following the video tutorial. Neither "wax on/wax off" method worked (basically entails turning it off and on repeatedly, counting up to 8 seconds each time). I dunno if it's on an older firmware, or a 2.8+ one, but I didn't get the "3 blinks" reaction it was supposed to elicit, either way.

So, the short of it is, even with the C by GE app, I can no longer control that light bulb or even add it. The Home app, when I choose to add a light bulb, just kicks me back to the main dashboard with all the controls. Even after clearing the app data and storage. And no matter how many times I create and delete a speaker group, I can't add my gen2 Hub to it. It doesn't show as up there, but I can otherwise control it. Wtf.

Any ideas?
[Google Home] blackhawk:
Try clearing the system cache.

Try a network reset.

Check settings and permissions of all associated apks. Clear data of the same.

Is all needed hardware enabled and working?

Any new apps, firmware, updates of any kind?

Set updated apps back to factory loads.

Changes you made?

Goggle search for similar reported problems in same make and expand the search if nothing is found.

Play with it... probably something simple*.

*once you find it🤣
[Google Home] GuyInDogSuit:
Yup, tried all those options and more.
[Google Home] blackhawk:
Something changed.

Forgive my ignorance as I like my devices dumb as rain stupid but how are you communicating with them, blue tooth?

I don't reccomend a factory reset as the issue would likely reoccur if you don't find the root cause even if it fixed it initially.

A factory reset would help to determine if a hardware failure had occurred though.
[Google Home] GuyInDogSuit:
I don't know what changed, as I hadn't added anything to this setup.
[Google Home] blackhawk:
Auto updates, destroyer of worlds...

Perhaps something in the environment has changed ie RF interference.
[Google Home] GuyInDogSuit:
Huh.... No idea, really.
[Google Home] blackhawk:
Well something changed, either settings, software, firmware or hardware.

Were any apps uninstalled recently?

It's rare on Android but uninstalls can changed buried normally untouchable settings and cause hell.

Most times the operator is the prime suspect... as I've found from experience🤣
[Google Home] GuyInDogSuit:
On my phone? How would that affect a smart home hub?
[Google Home] blackhawk:
You never did say how they link up?

If the hub has internet access that opens a new can of worms. Malware is omnipresent at this point with technology.
[Google Home] GuyInDogSuit:
They're all connected to my Nest Hub.
[Google Home] blackhawk:
Never was even aware of that... so the issue may be on the hub side.

Have/can you do a network reset on the hub?

Sometimes, surprisingly, Google will support their products free of charge. Worth a shot.

I can now see why you're learning new curse words🥴
[Google Home] GuyInDogSuit:
I had considered contacting Google but I thought I'd ask here first since it's visible to more people who might have knowledge about it. /shrug

I'll try the reset option.

Any ideas about that bulb? Or do you think the network reset could help with this?
[Google Home] blackhawk:
A network reset is easy and pretty painless.

Try pulling the power and battery to force it to reset.

A factory reset is the last resort. If it had any major firmware updates this becomes more likely to fix the issue.

I couldn't find any option to clear the system cache like on most Androids😕
[Google Home] GuyInDogSuit:
This has... a battery??
[Google Home] blackhawk:
I think so but it's just what I saw online.

It may not be easily accessible if so it's not a good option.

A Google search for this issue might net you a solution. Probably more common than you think.
[Google Home] GuyInDogSuit:
I got the three Google devices added to a speaker group finally, somehow.

The light bulb, though, just ain't showing up. It's no longer kicking me out from the light adding process, though. It just isn't detecting it.
[Google Home] blackhawk:
Lol, sort of funny... I hope the light bulb lights up for you soon🤣

Try a reboot. Cycle the slave device by disconnecting it from the power perhaps?
[Google Home] GuyInDogSuit:
Forgot to update on this.

I did get the GE bulb working. I attempted the factory reset thing again, and seems the third time was the charm. Might have helped that I unplugged the light fixture for a few minutes first.
[Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite Questions & Answers] tdguchi:
Hi, since i updated to last stock version (android 11) im having a weird behavior, when i power on or reboot my phone all works perfect, but after some time (i have never measured it) if someone calls me, it gives off or out of coverage, and if i open the dialer, my contacts are not showing, and using any app (like bank app) that uses my contacts (bizum) it stucks loading, even freezes my phone.

Is this a known issue? do any know how to fix it?

I must reboot or poweroff to "fix" it

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Daphne.Dq:
I'm new here, please be nice!

I have an international version of Sailfish Pixel. (not Verizon)

Please can someone point me in the right direction as to find a pixel ROM which is pre-rooted, meaning the ROM already includes SuperSu or Magisk, so the user wouldn't have to flash it through recovery.

I know Lineage 17.1 comes with adb root that can be enabled in developer options, but I am looking for a ROM in which the root app has already been included.

Thank you.

Daphne
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] m8822:
If yo u are planning on unlocking the bootloader and rooting, then get either the global version, or Tencent (which is Chinese market version) but it has to be on Chinese ROM so you can unlock the bootloader.

if it is Tencent edition with global ROM, just do not buy it.

the issue faced by most who get Tencent edition with global ROM is that the resellers unlock the bootloader to flash the global ROM & then they relock the bootloader.

ASUS only allows you 1 time unlock.​

unlocking for a 2nd time is yet to be successful.

i am facing this issue myself hence i do not wish it to anyone else.

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
If you purchased the device from eBay or Amazon and it is a Tencent version with WW installed, you may want to check that it isn't already unlocked. There are also some sellers that convert the phone and then lock the bootloader again without realizing it is once and done.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] DevoidAhad:
Yeah. Now any solution?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Wait, what needs a solution? Is it already unlocked or not?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
I

What exactly is it that prevents the Tencent version from being re-unlocked? Do you know? Is the unlock tool coded to reject subsequent unlocks on Tencent? When I confirmed with ASUS that I could re-unlock mine after they rolled it back to factory (WW version not TC), the guy told me you can unlock indefinitely, they just register that you've done it over the internet when you use the ASUS tool...
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
I honestly don't know if it is some step that is being performed incorrectly or corrupted conversions. I was able to unlock mine again after being sold a converted version, but it also had the original serial and IMEI intact. It could also be a myth left over from the 3.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] BILLYB187:
Thats exactly the problem. They only allow the BL to be unlocked one time. It will stay unlocked after that unless you relock it yourself. Once re-locked, you are locked for good.

Unless someone figures out a way around it, and to my knowledge previous ROG devices have had no such luck.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Low-level EDL is supposed to be able to fix that. I don't intend to test it.

I thought this phone would be really popular among enthusiast but it failed miserably. Unlocking bl is hard from what I'm reading so I guess we won't have custom roms any time soon
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
Looked great on paper. It's a big miss from ASUS - they've scr*wed up. It's not just the BL unlock, the list is growing...
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
It didn't fail. It hasn't fully released. The versions that will attract most people are the Pro and Ultimate. They're not available yet.

Unlocking the bootloader is SUPER easy. The problem is that a lot of people purchased their phones from third-party sellers that couldn't care less if you can unlock it again. All that mattered was getting that WW firmware on the CN device to add $100 to the listing.

Asus is likely trying to keep custom software minimized until they release the other versions, which is why they won't provide any hints on how to make it run. There would be no reason to buy an upgraded model if you could easily get the same performance out of something much cheaper.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
"The versions that will attract most people are the Pro and Ultimate." I doubt those will attract a lot of people but we'll see... In addition to some extra (and heavily priced) memory that only a few will need in the first place, isn't the only difference the backside lcd display and a pair of additional air triggers on the Ultimate?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Nearly every new member makes a brand new thread to address issues that have been posted since April. A lot of people have tunnel vision. Most of the YouTube videos and reviews focused entirely on the Ultimate version. I would guess some people aren't even aware the base model is the same phone.

https://xdaforums.com/t/standard-vs-pro-vs-ultimate-simplified.4286157
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Yellowflash99:
Thanks for your clarifications but imo people just want to buy not the most affordable but the best bang which I think is the 12Gb/128gb version. The difference between the 3 variants is just esthetic not big of a deal. And as of now Asus has failed shipping them in the right time (covid probably). I hope it won't become a total failure because new gaming smartphone with better specs are right around the corner.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
The best value is the Pro. You get the cooler, the rear touch zones, and 16 / 512. That's a jump of 4 GB RAM over the 12 / 128 and twice the internal storage of any base model. The only aesthetic upgrade was the small back display. The Ultimate, on the other hand, is only adding 2 GB RAM to the Pro. Everything else is aesthetic.

Even at 256, the number of new emulators and games that run smoothly will eat up that storage fast. I wish I had waited for the Pro just for the space.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Anubarak16:
So is Asus when we could trust the leaks... Sources Claim they are going to announce a new ROG 5s model on the 16.08.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1424916999591841792

If that's really true I cannot think of a valid reason to throw another smartphone on the marked when their previous was such a failure.

However I really wonder what their goals are... if they killed/stopped the pro edition in order to make this one "more stable" or something?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
That would explain why none of the sites were listing it as coming soon. Maybe addressing those break tests and heat complaints.

Wonder how long before they do a Razor and pull the Ultimate listing...
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Yellowflash99:
16gb on a phone is a bit overkill for "me" so 12Gb is plenty fine. Having 512 is a dream. You'll literally never have to check how much free storage you have. Even 256 sounds crazy
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Yellowflash99:
It just doesn't make sense but that could mean the Ultimate edition was a total failure. Good news is that I didn't pull the trigger just yet. I can wait till they sort this out
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Thought 256 was endless. Got a Note 20 Ultra with 12 / 256 and thought it was such a waste. Got the 16 / 256 ROG Phone 5 because the difference in price was about 100 (or 500 less than Samsung). Now the Note 20 Ultra feels super slow and the ROG Phone 5 has to be cleaned up to add anything new.

Gaming phones are the last ones that should be hopping on the trend of dropping expandable storage.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Yellowflash99:
If they don't sort this out till September I'll be getting either the 3 or the red magic 6 pro
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Anubarak16:
Well... Can you really call it a failure when they only released the ultimate in one country officially while it was sold out within a few minutes?

I'm still excited to know what happened. I as well hope they'll address the heat and bend issues and make this one "the new ultimate". I really love that style and prefer it over the default model.

In the end Asus is everything else than transparent. They keep posting Ultimate photos on their social channels weekly and the most asked question is "when does it release" without any answers so we will probably never know.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
They definitely rushed the release. I guess there was a 4 after all.

What if the S builds are a rebranded Pro / Ultimate with NO changes...

I don't get it. What is more "gamer" than the three tier system?

View attachment 5383265
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
So they're bumping up the chipset in 5S? Great idea to throw more power in a device that bleeds battery like a waterfall and gets hot enough to fry eggs on. Maybe it's a stealthy way to fix things without losing face (including the soft frame)?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Seems kinda silly to release an "Ultimate" version on the 888 now.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Anubarak16:
[sarcasm]

You can already pre-order it for the best price https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003109231580.html

[/sarcasm]

Hope these won't be the real prices...

US $1,999.00 or US $1,599.00

Yeah - especially if they really had delivery issues with the 888 it might be the best idea to just buy the 888+ chipset instead in case they are not too different.

If those will not be the "Ultimates" and they still tend to release it within the next weeks after the 5s it WILL be a total fail.

Do you feel the battery is not strong enough? Just asking because it wins nearly all battery real live tests I saw except against the ROG 3
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
Yes I feel so. Not impressive at all considering there is 6K mAH's under the hood . It wins because the competing devices are equally poor. The truth is, in my opinion anyway, that unfortunaely the entire line-up of current flagship gaming devices this year are lousy in one or more ways. Those who don't need a new phone are better off waiting it out...

ROG 3 still comes out on top with battery (it's a better built device all together). My old (but very optimized) Huawei M20X with a 7 inch display and 1000 mAH less battery wipes ROG 5 off the table when it comes to battery life. Sure it has a bit slower chipset and runs Android 9, but the difference is absolutely huge, it does up to 3+ days standby and 1.5-2 days under moderate/active use. The ROG 5 in comparison has a much larger battery pack but is still just a 0.9-1 day phone and that's not even under heavy use and with 5G switched off.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Is it that you truly don't like the device or is your recent experience bleeding into your opinions of the hardware?

It doesn't really benefit anyone, including yourself, to discuss a device you hate for any length of time. It would make more sense to sell it, especially with it recently repaired and verified 100% working.

Edit: I am on day four of standby with 50% remaining, but still get notified of every single message in Signal and Messenger.
