[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] hum-man:
What is so "secret" about this topic, that no one of the experts likes to talk abaout it and help us out? So many have this problem. Even though for those like me who have a stock backup auf EFS and Baseband. If somebody would be so kind to send a pn with further hints would be very kindful. Thanks a lot folks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] toothpicker:
I had the same problem after flashing the stock ROM, but i just can't find help with this problem.

I gave up and bought a new phone.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] yudi15:
I am about to buy a phone with MDM on it . The shopkeeper tells me that it's safe to use that phone without issues by just uninstalling mdm app from phone?? I wanted to ask is it safe and reliable to buy this phone.. Plus can we flash a fresh flash file on pixel 4 xl and get rid of this mdm app?? Please reply soon.. Waiting And thanks in advance guys
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
I would avoid it. You don't know where the phone originally came from, you most likely won't be able to unlock the bootloader, which will prevent you from flashing a factory image to the device, and the MDM app is essentially a back door for whoever originally owned the device.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] HyperM3:
So I just picked up the diamond at my local BB and Im stoked.

However, I cannot get my gmail working on it whatsoever. No matter how many times I try the recommended settings.

I found on here a .cab file to get blackberry connect working on the phone. Where do I download this to on the phone?

If I cant get that to work, how do I get just gmail working?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] HyperM3:
Ok, I got the email figured out when I got rid of the Proxy.

Anyone know how to do the blackberry connect?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] S10eandtears:
Hi,

I was just looking at a zoom video and had a lot of apps open in the background and the battery was around 50%. Then my screen froze, then I tapped a bit on the screen and it went black. I tried to soft reset and it vibrated for a second and nothing happened. I let it sit on the charger for a while and nothing. Put it on the portable charger and nothing. Same with trying hard and soft reset. The phone apparently pulls low voltage per UBreakifix. They said they saw 20 phones that had random issues after the last Samsung update including S21's. Mine just installed a few days ago. I have no idea what to do, but need the screen recordings of my relative that died and the voicemails that were exported to sound. Please help! Samsung said could be a short and then said they would replace the motherboard. I want the data not the phone.

Could I just be unlucky and it is simply a battery that died completely? Would the Samsung store be able to flash a new or older firmware without losing the files?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] TheNewGuy92:
flashing would basically make your device a 'new' device... the only thing that comes to mind to keep your data is salvaging the parts (which would be labor intensive as it's basically re-building a phone by hand while it's not clear which among all the parts is/are defective, and even then the parts need to work smoothly together). If you have auto backup setup for the device, it's possible things like messages are saved.

Other than that, you would have to find professionals who are experienced in data restoration.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Sounds like a bad mobo.

You could try replacing the battery, maybe a C port PCB failure.

Other than that as mentioned by TheNewGuy92, a data recovery specialist. The memory may already be unrecoverable though especially if that chipset is the one that failed.

Always back up critical data redundantly... says us who have already lost databases.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] MrGoodtunes:
Maybe. When my first S10e (bought a second S10e due to so much trouble with first) suddenly dies (which it has done several times now), I have found temporary success by opening the back cover, removing 8 tiny screws to take out top mid-frame, and disconnecting the battery. After waiting a few minutes, I reconnect the battery, put phone back together, and begin charging. At this point, phone is charging while power'd off, and shows 0% for battery level; even after showing like 80% or higher when it black'd out. Then it showly increases from 0% up, at some point over 50%, I reboot; and it works okay until the next black out.

To disconnect battery, I do something like steps #1 through #19 here:

[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Try replacing the battery. Maybe a bad battery controller chip.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] S10eandtears:
I ended up paying for data recovery and they swapped over my components on to a donor motherboard. The interesting thing was the phone was dead again once it got to me but they extracted everything to a usb for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Yay! May I ask roughly how much did that cost?

Who did the recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] S10eandtears:
Mark Shaffer at iPad rehab. First invoice for expedited assessment was second was.​

$108.63

$1,314.36
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
So slow boat would have been $108.63?

That's not bad. Glad you where able to recover your data. Lost things can haunt you for a lifetime...
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] S10eandtears:
No that fee was just to have your phone looked at sooner. Still would have been 1200 plus tax for data recovery with donor board.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Still reasonable. I figure it be in the thousands.

The important thing is they did recover the data!
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] S10eandtears:
Agreed it wasn't too bad all things considered.

And CPU heats up sometimes when running some apps
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] leodp:
Normal usage, seems to work.

Battery does not last much, but it may be due to its poor health: it's quite old and has been in discharged state for at least 1 year.

Does anyone else have an issue where SELinux is not enforcing?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] leodp:
Not 100% sure, may be the old battery, but:

- In 8 hours airport modus, screen off, the charge went down 17% from 100% to 83%

- I installed AccuBattery to check, and it reports no deep sleep, not even with screen off.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Scepterus:
Hello, thank you for developing for this device first off. secondly, do you have a twrp for zerofltexx? that's the one I have installed now. if not will this work with an older version of twrp?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] santhosh ravi:
The twrp version shouldn't matter too much I guess, but it is better to be on the latest version. You can get the latest twrp by ripee from here.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] JimPannse:
battery drain is still massive while im not using it and i cant get information about it with onboard tools. everything works fine. even gps and bluetooth. just the battery still sucks. and cam is same like other roms still crap. the lightning and final focus just dont hit the right timing :D

anyone can help with the deepsleep thing? or maybe cam?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] santhosh ravi:
Try using enesuzuns new kernel, and see if deep sleep is fixed. You can find it here. With that also try naptime from playstore.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] avidichard:
Why is it so hard to find a ROM to work with Canadian G920W8? AND where the rom won't break the camera and make it unusable for taking pictures?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] screen:
I'm having issues with Bluetooth audio. It says it's out putting to my connected JBL go speaker but the actual audio still plays over the phone speakers.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] avidichard:
The solution is as follows:

• NO AOSP roms, no matter the version, Serious Camera issues EVEN with the proposed fixes

• ONLY Stock roms

• NO roms above nougat 7.0

• NO v7.1.1 or v7.1.2 roms

• NO AOSP v7.0 rom with compatible Canadian/T-Mobile AOSP Kernel (same camera issues even with android v7.0)

What I have NOT tried and did NOT find yet as of the date of this comment:

• Stock Android v8, v9, v10 or v11 G920W8 kernels and sompatible roms

Canadian Samsung S6 G920W8 phones have been left out sadly.

I tested serveral roms in my old SM-G920I (S6 Flat) and this crdroid build is the best.

The only problem is the rom never deep sleeps. Battery drops 5% per hour when you are not using the phone.

Anyone found a way to solve this deep sleep issue?

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] UnbeatableMeatBoy:

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] UnbeatableMeatBoy:
What I'm doing wrong? I tried this ROM, lineageOS, and dotos and all of them refuse to boot, I either get stuck in the boot animation 4ever or get thrown back to the recovery.

SM-G920F

Flash TWRP > reboot into TWRP > format data > reboot into TWRP > wipe data, system, cache, internal storage > transfer rom file to the phone > flash the file using TWRP > reboot into system > get stuck in boot animation 4ever
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Peterepeat87:
I was having the same problem recently flashing lineage.

I'm pretty sure when I unticked the "install TWRP" boxes, that was what made it happy. TWRP is good, but lineage prefers it's own recovery image. Even if it isn't very good.

I did notice though, that once I had successfully installed it with TWRP, it asked me during setup if I would like it to flash the Lineage recovery for me, so I said yes. Now it's like a samsung recovery, I can push TWRP, use it for whatever I need it for, and when I reboot into Lineage, it puts the lineage recovery back. Best of both worlds. Hopefully that works for crDroid too.

Does anyone know if @santhosh ravi is working on a 12 release?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] UnbeatableMeatBoy:
Yeah I figured that out but you don't need to install lineageOS recovery, all you have to do is not to install the twrp app when TWRP asks you to
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Peterepeat87:
Yeah I did say that's what broke it.

The rest was discussion.

[Sony Xperia 10 III] skinnypupp:
Update: Fixed October 2021 with update 62.0.A.3.131

I'm probably one of the few people who has their 10 iii already since it just arrived yesterday, but on my first day I noticed a green bias in the colour. I was able to correct that with temperature setting (going high with blue and medium with red and leaving green at 0) but when the brightness was lower at night I noticed a green tint and the contrast was a bit washed out. When the brightness was set all the way to 0 the screen was completely washed out.

I don't noticed it today, but I'll take another look tonight in the dark.

Just something to look out for if you're shopping for this phone.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] Meloferz:
Probably just your phone is faulty, just claim warranty
[Sony Xperia 10 III] skinnypupp:
Nope, everyone who owns the phone is reporting this.

It's a design flaw. The question is, can it be fixed with a software update? If not, will it be fixed with a hardware revision?
[Sony Xperia 10 III] ShadyTurtle334:
Mine came yesterday and yes, this phone Has some serious issue with color banding at low brightness. Also some ghosting? Overall it does not look as some high quality screen, i saw better LCDs.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] R+x:
Agree, not just banding and colour tint, but also black level. It looks like the pixels never really truly turn off.

Contrast improves at higher brightness, but still no Oled blacks, it's more like a high quality IPS panel.

Holding all data transfer and actively watching this thread. Quite a shame, I was so hyped and jumped by instinct.

Take care you guys.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] R+x:
Okay, I'm back. In my way of testing...

Drag all sliders max min and shock the system lol. It seems this is just a software bug.

The display controller has some glitchy work.

Set a black wallpaper, sit in a dark room. Try being wild with the sliders and then return to normalcy.

You will see the bezels fade away to oblivion. Dark like it's off. The grey cast will reappear sometimes on unlocking the phone.

Let me know if you wanna see my settings.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] ShadyTurtle334:
So it seems that everyone is affected. I have found a few threads on Reddit, some folks recommend, as workaround, trying OLED saver app. Will try that trick with "shocking system"

https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/nwjz8l
[Sony Xperia 10 III] R+x:
Hey thanks for posting that link.

The App does work. But much like changing other settings...it reverted back to trash after unlocking.

I just hope this is fixable via SW, it's not like the panel can never show its "true colours". We just have temporary workarounds. I hope there is a permanent SW fix.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] MicDanPi:
I have the same Problem, got mine in Germany this Friday.

Black seems never to get really black, also at max brightness it seems not really black like i know from my old phone (but better then on low). In minimum brightness then there ist terrible image. Black is definetly not black and in a movie with black or dark content, everything turn pixelated an green, its impossible to watch a movie. It looks lke watching a movie dowloaded illegaly with super low resolution. Tried with LUPIN on Netflix. In dark scene impossible to wahch. Also sample movies on Youtube. Looks like the image posted upsite.

Edit: @ R+x can you show your setting?
[Sony Xperia 10 III] ShadyTurtle334:
I got refund, so im bailing out of here. Good luck and i hope for quick and problem solving software update for you guys.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] R+x:
Same, refund and onto 5ii.

It's just such a peace of mind to know that a screen is of the intended quality. Not sure Sony would even fix midranger via SW.

Such a shame, 10iii looked to be a terrific phone.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] R+x:
You wanna go to display settings, drive it to Max brightness. Be wild here, go min max real fast and settle finally at max. Then quickly toggle between the display modes. Fast tap on Colour boost multiple times. It worked for me.

Opening the camera app also helps. It's one of the few areas where the interface is pitch dark.

Both work only till you keep the display above 75% and till you the phone remains unlocked.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] R+x:
So yesterday I got a call from the Sony Store. A bug fix was issued to fix the Screen Colour shift, Micro flicker and Oled Black problems.

Need to go see for myself, if it was just hot air.

Sticking to my X5ii though.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] MicDanPi:
Tried with the YouTube App.. It works like you described. I opened YouTube. Set max brightness, than back to lowest and everything gets black. After its black you can also change Image Mode. It stays so still you Lock/unlock Screen.. but activating black Screen possibile only with originale Mode or with activated Video optimization. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] skinnypupp:
dupe post, forum doesn't let me delete it for some reason
[Sony Xperia 10 III] skinnypupp:
Could you tell me how to do this? I don't really do anything like this on my phone, but I'd like to try it as a workaround that is more native than using OLED Saver
[Sony Xperia 10 III] R+x:
They have issued a software update. And it fixes the problem natively.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] skinnypupp:
62.0.A.3.56 is a security update, it has not been fixed.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] combinedfleet:
Here's a guide: https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Termux:Widget

So basically save the script under $HOME/.shortcuts/tasks and add a Termux widget to your home screen. The file name determines what the home screen shortcut will be labeled as. I named mine "Display fix".

If you need further guidance, just ask.

Also, I made a series of images detailing the problem, maybe anybody finds it useful:

View attachment 5360447
[Sony Xperia 10 III] combinedfleet:
Updated to 62.0.A.3.70 today and the issue still exists, unfortunately. It does look a bit better than it did on 62.0.A.3.28, though. Anyways, the workaround I provided earlier still works. I may make a dedicated app which will carry out the workaround in a more reliable and user friendly way. I was held back by the upcoming update, but since that didn't fix it...

I've got it from APKMirror. You can also find it attached to this post.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] funstorm:
With 62.0.A.3.70 the issue improved dramatically for me. The green-tint on low-brightness is almost gone. Tho it is true that the screen still does not behave like a proper OLED unless a workaround is used.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] R+x:
Yup, agree. When the Store called me, the Software they showed had gotten the Green haze sorted. But they didn't have a dark room. So couldn't verify OLED blacks it did seem solved at mid brightness.... Methinks this is some way to prevent noticeable burn in.

Somewhat equalized degradation reduces noticeable burn effects.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] funstorm:
Could be, but the true-black backlight is still much stronger on low-brightness than on high-brightness which does not seem that useful for preventing burn-in - I assume that the burn-in is less likely on low-brightness and therefore the logical behaviour would be more to do the opposite.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] t.animal:
I'm in contact with sony support and I'm publishing all emails in this reddit thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/oix8mj/_/h51lb5d

I also found, that this tasker task also fixes the problem (it sets the brightness, opens google photos, hits the back button to close it again and resets brightness). I'm triggering it on device unlock and I have two more profiles that set the %brightnessAn variable so that this is only enabled at night time. Maybe it helps someone, but it's becoming increasingly like I'll ditch this phone.

That's just another security fix though... People who say it "looks better".. it's either going to be fixed or it's not. Also if you're not in a very dark room, there's no real way to test it.
[Sony Xperia 10 III] ksuuk:
Based -

https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/oix8mj
Sony knows the green tint issue and promised to fix it with software upgrade. Some say that some (which?) upgrade fixed green tiny issue, some say that upgrade (which?) made the display a bit better, but green tint is still there. Maybe it depends of the model, as there are - SO-52B, SOG04, XQ-BT52 and A102SO.

So what is the truth?
