[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] Leroy_Sparks:
This post isn't about a specific ROM, but rather a plea for info on where to find them and details about them.

I realize that since these forums were "upgraded" a lot of developers have left. The only place I'm aware of to find info in the telgram channel "Moto G Family Updates". Is there anywhere else? Maybe I'm just getting old (I am), but that group is a huge cluster**** - just a lot of individual discussions and " teasers" on ROM releases or updates. I see posts about quite a few ROMs, but other than very basic info & download links there's no other information.

For some of us these things aren't really intuitive. For example I know I am not alone in being uncertain about using TWRP. I've seen a post suggesting it works fine, but everytime I've used it on US ret version the touchscreen is fouled up, requiring a mouse to do anything.

I feel like I'm in the dark, thinking there HAS to be some place that can shed light.
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] Quantumstate:
It's not your imagination. I'm 67 and software has really gone downhill in the past ten years. Quality doesn't exist anymore.

For example, since 1997 I've run a home cluster of 6-11 virtual machines and recently I've been trying to upgrade from CentOS 7.6 to Fed 34 on all of them -- I have spent many complete weekends trying to upgrade my VMs one-by-one and am not even halfway to done, owing to infuriating bugs in packages these days. I have to watch TV on a 13" laptop rather than on my 14 foot home theater screen.

My background is 24 years in enterprise infosec, and general quality sux to the point that I am wondering if I should rethink my whole modus operendi for whatever time I have left.

This isn't even considering the terrible mechanized shrieking corporatized 'music' they put up with these days compared with our revolutionizing music of the '60's.

Do you mean this one? https://t.me/MotoG8Official

I don't see a "G Family" channel, but that's the G8 channel which is for this model (even though there's no 8, it's still the same family). I don't know of any other, at least not yet.

Yeah I don't mind getting all of this from telegram channels, I just wish those devs would actually moderate them. I'm sick of going to an official channel and having to read through so much random conversation, memeing, and images that have nothing to do with anything. Keep the channel professional, I don't need to read through a bunch of edgy kids that think its 4chan (and all the baggage that comes with that).
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] Leroy_Sparks:
Yes the "Moto G8 Family | Official" group (that's how it displays in the Telegram app).

Admittedly I don't understand hoe telegram works, but in that group when yoe see a post from a developer, like announcing an update to a ROM, if you click on "family updates" it show a page listing all the ROMs such as this:

[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] kelue:
I know, I was just making sure you were looking at the right telegram channel because you said "G Family" and not "G*8* Family".

But yes, as far as I know, that's the place. You'll need to use the search function. Wish there was something more than that.
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] Beetle84:
The channel on telegram you guys are after is 'moto g8 cloud', that is more or less the repository for roms for these group of devices.
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] EmperorObamatine:
It can be hard to find information about the standard phone sometime. I mean these are all basically experimental and bound to be buggy unless it's a flagship ROM for a currently still flagship phone. You just gotta flash one after another and try them, that's been my experience with the custom ROM community. However, to be fair, information seems more sparse now than when I first got into it, perhaps because it's telegram heavy and because all social media and tech main stream has become trash. I used to use reddit a lot but this phone doesn't seem to even have it's own sub. (maybe there is a subcommunity for the specific ROM you can find which is active)

This sounds like a different question entirely, perhaps frustration? But asking how to flash usually requires in depth knowledge from a dev of some sort in my experience. There is usually some hidden compatibility that has do with version or ROM or something that I wouldn't be able to figure out why if you gave me a year.

No.

You need to use the software for unlocking and then wait for the time given by xiaomi server.

It returns 'missingToken cookie'. I looked at the ADB logs and couldn't find anything that looked problematic.

Been working as a developer for 14 years now so I wouldn't be asking if any of these tools worked as the guides stated.

[General Questions and Answers] hamzarawal:
Hi,

I have purchased these 2 used phones

(SM-G935V) (SM-G950U) a Galaxy S7 Edge & S8 Phone.

from someone online he said everything is ok they just have dots and some damaged glass.

I was fool enough to fall for it and bought them.

Everything works fine except the sim card i am not able to use sim card into the phones i tried to contact that person but no response he turned off his phone.

I'm in a big trouble.

When i asked someone for the fix the they said i have to change the imei number and everything will be fine i just cannot use sims on this imei.

Now i have 2 dead phones i own please i want to switch my imei number to those phones 😭😭😭😭 help me please.

Please help.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
There is no relationship between SIM and IMEI:

SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is nothing but your IMSI (International Mobile subscriber Identity) number.

IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is your device's number. IMEI is a unique number in the world for all the devices manufactured.

However, the phone company may ( most definitely ) have records that can tie an IMEI to a phone number to a place and time.

If that's the case then using IMEIs from working phones may help.

I stumbled upon this while trying to find a way to regain the ability to use voice typing after getting rid of the Google app.

I'm not a developer and honestly don't have any idea how any of it works. Its easy to get the needed packages on there though.

It's a PoC right now, but I believe it has some awesome potential, especially for those who develop or want an environment that's free of Google.

I have decided to share this here to get the Dev and their project some exposure.

Here is a demo video on YouTube :
[Android General] gbossley:
Good to see. I've been using Saiy for years, and before that (also developed by Ben Randall) Utter!, but Ben has abandoned this project which had so much promise. Looking forward to a contemporary voice assistant that is (A) local rather than requiring a data connection (B) Dynamic in terms of a development path. I had hopes for Almond for a while but the Android development was abandoned.
[Android General] Thatdad:
I wonder why these projects always seem to get abandoned?
[Android General] gbossley:
Ben went off and got a 'real' job. I think some are quite possibly choked off by organisations that see them as a threat? Ben always promised to make Saiy open-source but it never happened. As it is, I still think it's awesome, and can do what this app is proposing to do "Remember this: I'm having an awesome day" "I've remembered that, it's posted to the clipboard".

It's still relevant and I'll take some convincing to change, despite no work on it for 4 years or more.

Hello Friends of the forum

Please I have a tesla type android kit mounted on Renault Talisman 2018.

Suddenly it began to stop loading the operating system, it only reached the logo of the brand and did not continue. I thought the solution would be to hit the Reset button, but this only made the situation worse. Now the screen is black. The other problem is that when it does not turn on, I do not know what its exact model is, or Android version.

It is very similar to this

[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] adrianjaramillo:
I'm new to this forum, so I posted in general this problem I'm having since I don't know which category fits for this.

I know this forum is for software-related topics, but I've found hardware questions as well, so I guess this should be fine.

Basically, some time ago my phone started having this problem, which I suspect is hardware related, which is what they call screen burn.

Funny thing is, people usually say this problem is permanent, but in my case it's just temporal.

Sometimes my screen is working just fine, and suddenly starts flickering. If I try to switch apps, a "ghost image" of the other app stays there in the background, and until the screen refreshes, it takes time, or maybe I have to switch my screen on-off again, etc.

Another times It turns white, but I still can use my phone properly.

I've identified it's just a screen issue, because as I said, I can actually use my phone fine, but I have this flickers and ghost images. These ghost images are actually the most annoying problem when they happen.

To do some testing, I downloaded a burn-in test app to check every colour, and I've noticed that most colours work fine, but just the white and grey were weird? Like, maybe in the top of the screen the colour wouldn't show, but in the rest of the screen it was working.

Other times, the screen starts to display "colour lines" in front of everything, and after some time they disappear.

Want I want to know is, is this a hardware problem, or software? I guess it's hardware, I'd find it weird to be software.

If so, changing the screen would fix this ghost images and flickers? I haven't tried changing a phone screen before, but I can just buy one and there are videos for my model on how to change the screen so I could do it.

What I want to know is, how to fix this, and If replacing the screen would do. I honestly am against the consumerism trend of throwing away phones, so I at least want to try.

Thanks.

Hi...

so it could be software or hardware based.

first i would make a full backup and then try to completly reset the firmware and check if the issue is done

if not...it could be the screen or the mainboard or the connector to the mainboard.

at first i would try to change the screen to a new one. mostly the screen have problems. if that not work it can be the mainboard...for a buying a mainboard i would look at ebay for a completly damage devices just to remove the mainborad there and to buod in to your Device

hope that helps you

I commented my problem with a friend who studied CS with me, and he told me after seeing the phone that in his opinion it's likely the screen. I think so too.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] rmc6901:
I have a U.S. Unlocked (snapdragon) S21 Ultra that I'm currently using on AT&T (SM-G998U1). Using the dialer method, I obtained my CSC of OYM. Frija will not recognize OYM which I guess means multiple CSCs are supported? I don't want to install carrier-branded software. I tried the CSC code of USC and Frija accepted it. Is this the right code to use? I don't want to install the wrong firmware and brick my phone. Any guidance will be appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
So if you don't want to install AT&T Firmware then the best option is to stick with the USC Firmware which is the software on your device. What's the motivation to replace your firmware with the same firmware already on your device? Your Primary CSC can't be changed, it will always be USC. Changing firmware with a different CSC typically causes more problems than it solves. OYM means it's a Multi-CSC phone, USC is your actual Primary CSC. Whatever service provider's SIM you use will be the Active CSC. One drawback in Unlocked Samsung phones is they are the last variant to receive OTA Updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] rmc6901:
The motivation is I'm tired of waiting a month after release of updates to get it on my device. This particular update is supposed to offer camera improvements of which I'm anxious to see. No, I don't want to change CSC or carrier software. I just wanted to make sure I was using the correct code for my device. I'll give it a try shortly and thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] rmc6901:
I got it updated. The zip file app I was using (IZArc) kept returning an error on the AP file. I switched to 7-zip and problem solved. I got a pass from Odin and phone rebooted into the OS so all is good. It should go fast and easy next time. Thanks again varcor for your help.

That's great, next time you're looking to see if there's an update try Smartswitch. Much easier than flashing firmware.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] siani_8:
I'll leave this up but not really sure any of this is helpful to most people. Skip to the last post for the closest I got to a resolution. Basically, my phone was losing sound and mic ever since Live Caption was introduced to Device Personalization Services.

Does anyone have the OTA or Boot.img for 10.0.36? I would like to use the bootloader MSM tool for that release as that was probably the last stable ROM without sound and mic issues on my phone. I see the link is still up (but crossed out) in the 'unlock bootloader' thread but when I scan the boot.img with my antivirus, it tells me it "scanned two files, no threats found". Why would that boot.img be scanning as two files when all the other boots I have only scan as one? Sounds malicious to me. Can someone please please please hook me up with that boot? My phone has been down for over a month. The sound issues are what eventually forced me to try root on this one. I've been successfully rooted on 10.0.39 and 11.01.3 over and over again in the passed couple of weeks. However, after a fresh install, sound and mic is back and life is beautiful and then 2 minutes later, google does whatever it does in the background and I lose it again. I've been battling this since last summer but I think 10.0.36 is far enough back before google updates fracked my phone. Thank you.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] siani_8:
For anyone following/interested, (seems like the TMO McLaren family is rather small) 10.0.36 didn't on it's own solve the issue either. It was a little bit lighter on the preinstalled apps though so I suppose that made it slightly easier to work with. I have the RoM stable with working audio and mic offline and it seems to be holding. I'm gonna drop in the SIM and let the Google have access to daggon internet again.

The main change that got this stable was making sure none of the Google apps had access to the "modify system settings" permission that is enabled by default for ALL of the Google apps. If even one of them has that permission it seems it will unlock the gate for it it's buddies. It's kinda hard to observe changes made through settings when the Google just keeps changing them back to whatever the heck it feels like in the background. I'm so disgusted with that company's overly intrusive practices right now. It already knows what route I take to work, what time I get off, what my appoints will be two weeks from now, my interests, who my friends and family are, what porn I like, and if I was constipated or not this morning...like leave me the heck alone and let me chose my own phone settings.

I know I could have just uninstalled/disabled most of the Gapps through ADB and/or checking some of the custom RoMs out there but I felt it was important to learn what was happening to be better prepared in the future and hopefully help someone else who may be having a seemingly rare conflict/issue between one or more Google apps and their device.

I'd be happy to answer any questions or provide more details in the event I'm not alone. I really think I just got unlucky and was sent a refurb replacement that went though some sloppy Quality Control after the previous owner returned it and I'm guessing possibly shouldn't have been released back into the wild.
