[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] jhavron:
yup.... I wont go on a rant (which means I will...) but this, along with other compromises like this have convinced me there needs to be a minor Revolution in handsets. I mean a device created remind you of the device next to it. Unfortunately I smashed my phone a few months ago and at an inopportune time was forced to choose a new one. I left the whole table open (barring how ridiculous). I chose a pixel 4XL. There were many factors ( mostly personal preferences), but in the end I saw the writing on the wall. Nothing impressed me. A brand new phone would be painful proper rooting. This left only the devices worked over by better individuals (xda members).

And when it came down to it if the bootloader couldn't be unlocked, it was a deal-breaker.

I think the last genuine phone for the average nerd was the Nexus 6.

.... Okay I vented 😁.

I had the same issue in Android 12 with my new handset except only Google didn't tell me like Samsung told you. They just did it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Android and Samsung are a mess now. I got my 2nd new N10+ less a year ago. Both are stock running on 9 and 10. Even though I disable firmware updates/upgrades I still fight with Samsung apps like Wearables for the Buds+.

It's updates and performance zenithed about a year ago, everything since just degrades it, including the audio. I roll it back but it wants to force update. Fighting with it now, again*.

Samsung hasn't released anything near as good since the N10+, they've lost their minds. Fk em.

Android reached their zenith at 9, scoped storage sucks and isn't needed. This N10+ running on 9 has no issues other than what Samsung continues to screw with🤣

I use whatever works and comes in handy even if it's 3 years old. That goes for hardware and firmware... I don't give a rat's arse about having the newest if it isn't a well balanced, clean running improvement.

* edit, fixed. Uninstalled all Buds and Wearables updates, reinstalled older saved versions, after firewall blocking specific update UIDs. Old UI and the sound volume/Q restored.

Agreed, both companies have lost their minds, I will probably be sane someday with a flip phone and leave all the powers that be behind soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Pilgrimsprogress:
I completely understand what your saying, I just think phone owners can spend free time if they chose to just use the phone and be cool, not need to get a huge secrets and tips book like for windows 7 and now 1 of those books for each new phones because of all the absurd changes that went along with scraping the world best os xp and note 3 in my option. Companies lost it to long ago, can't do a make over on a UI without all kinda of restrictions oh I meant goodness.

This is nothing malicious, it's simply an Android feature to protect you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Lol, recent history is showing that for some things being unprotected is safer🤣
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] jhavron:
One of the few features of Samsung that I like is that of you keep your Samsung account and Google account sperated (not sure if this is actually necessary) and your phone is compromised you may have a 2nd chance at redemption... Samsung seems to give more hardware for the $ tho..... 🤔

But that makes you that much more of their product in my opinion....

I do miss my note pen sometimes tho 🤏
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I never set a lock on the phone and make sure I have the Google account password impossibly long, complex and etched in stone.

Find my Device is always disabled.

No social media apps on the phone, wifi always disabled.

Lol, being a Google product sucks. Zero trust in the ruling elites; they've weaponized our devices along with most everything else.

The spen is very useful when you need it. In the N10+ it just nests, protected, until it's needed. Some things can't be done easily or at all without it. Smart select rocks.

[Huawei Mate 30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] o012:
So here's the situation, after calling and getting thru to the correct representatives 😉 I have it activated for now. I can no longer switch between phones as it will suspend service because the phone apperantly uses 4g for data but NOT VOICE so when you try and activate the phone ie switch SIM card to other mate 30 pro it deactivates the SIM so you have to call and find out about atts sunsetting of 3g. Essentially screwing me over as I have 2 of these devises that apperantly not on the APPROVED list. Now I've got to come up with a way to get yet another new phone 🙃 been a bad few days for me and this is the icing on the 🍰 🤷‍♂️

I then flashed Lineage 17.1 through TWRP but when I reboot, it just gets stuck on the boot logo. (Should I even be seeing the Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo

Any ideas on how to get it to boot successfully ?

Hello,

I recently changed the LCD of a S6 edge. I installed it and turned it on and it booted up fine. I went to make sure everything was working. While I was playing music it would restart. I thought it was odd, so i was waited til it came back on and started using other apps. Same thing..restart. So, i booted to safe mode. Same thing...restart.

So, I tried factory resetting. After that, it would just get stuck in a endless restart loop cycle.

I have also tried reinstalling the OS using Odin. I ran Odin and it said everything passed. The phone restarts and goes to installing updates.

It gets to 32% every time then it says "erasing". After a few seconds of displaying "erasing" it just starts its endless reboot cycle again.

**EDIT: I should add that it never restarts when it's in the download manger.** So, that makes me think its a OS issue.

*EDIT#2: This is a good video. I did all of this. Got to the 9 minute mark and where his comes on, mine restarts again.

Any help?

Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] 3mel:
back in the latter days of flashing S4 custom roms there would be the occasional user who couldn't boot and it turned out that there was some detail in the roms that didn't work with some 3rd party LCD screens.

check the reviews for what you bought and see if you are alone or not.

the issue with those screens was fixed by the devs so if nothing else you might be able to go custom with it.
[General Questions and Answers] TrumpXLV:
Hi,

thank you for your reply. I learned about all of this last night lol. so, i'm not exactly sure what you mean. I bought the LCD+frame from Ebay. It stated it was pulled from a working unit.

Could a bad battery cause all these issues? I notice when i power down (only way I can power down is if I Hold POWER+VOL DOWN and select power down) that the LED light stays on.
[General Questions and Answers] TrumpXLV:
Hello, could someone delete this thread. I have posted a more detailed thread on this issue.
[General Questions and Answers] 3mel:
if it says it's an LCD screen it's not an original part. my point was that some people have had issues booting up roms because of screens.

that was something that was fixed in custom roms though so if you can't another solution a custom rom that works with 3rd party LCD displays might be an option to consider.

Hello,

I have recently purchased a 12.3 android unit and got round to installing it the other day.

Everything works on the unit the only problem I seem to be having is a timed cut off on the android unit of the old ccc.

The ccc menu will only power on the android side when the old power plug is connected to the old screen. I can remove the power from the old screen and it will still run on the android side for a short amount of time before doing the same. I have to connect the old power plug back to old screen for it to load up on the android side.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Vector-SS:
Eventhough I purchased my phone in Canada, with no receipt, and an EU version, the HTC repair center in the US accepted my phone with no problems.

Just call them in and inquire about the global warranty services. They will ask you for the P/N S/N IMEI, etc and you can ship it in with no problem.

Insure your package though. My package arrived to the center with no phone inside :mad:

I am currently using redmi 9t. The issue is regarding the connectivity of bluetooth earphones (Soul 7). The earphones are continuously glitching whenever i change my position or when i lock my mobile while playing a song. This problem is only limited to my phone as I have tested on other phones and the problem doesn't seems to appear. I have tried another earphones of JBL and no such problem arises with my phone. I currently have the latest MIUI update for Redmi 9t. My MIUI optimization is also turned off. There are no battery restrictions for media apps. The earphones are new and no they don't have reset option and also there is no pairing issue. The bluetooth works fine too but there is some problem which i can't figure out whether it is with the mobile or the earphones as both appears to work fine with other mobiles/earphones.

This morning I got this issue View attachment 5366047

First of all I got so panic that I planned to buy a new motherboard. But after 3hours of google - ing, I found the answer.

This is how I deal with it:

1/. I shutoff my phone in twrp and then press power button, Vol + and - at the same time to get into fastboot.

2/. Next, I used tool all in one (u can download it from here: https://xdaforums.com/t/...ck-twrp-factory-image-stock-recovery.3398993/) then click on flash factory image and download stock rom (I used it to find oos10).

3/. After that u still can't boot into system right away (don't be panic part 2 alright? XD).

4/. Next I install twrp of mauronofrio via fastboot (obviously old school way).

5/. Then I download lineage os 18.1 and flash to ensure that my device had been unbricked (u guys have to make sure u installed twrp and its installer after install lineage, just in case if something goes wrong, the lineage's recovery can't help u anything). AND IT BOOT AS A MAGICAL.

6/. After ensure it booted properly, I reboot into fastboot and use tool all in one again this time u can reuse the firmware downloaded in step 2 then flash it. This time it will boot to oos10 as it was brand new!!!

I DONT KNOW IF THIS CAN HELP U OR NOT BUT IT HELP ME TO PULLOFF MY PHONE FROM THE HAND OF DEATH.

[General Questions and Answers] MØTH:
Hi,

I wanted to ask about an issue with Xiaomi mi 9. Yesterday the display on my phone flashed white and then went completely black. After that sometimes when trying to turn on the phone the logo showed up very dim, but later on, it stopped showing up at all. The phone seems to work as it flashes the indicator light, it does the charging sound and the indicator light goes on when I plug it in. The screen is still completely black. I thought it might be a hardware issue, but it could also be software. The software on it was Google experience android 10. I installed it around a year ago and it was working fine until now. When I go into fastboot state the logo shows up for a moment but it's very dim.

Does this seem to be a hardware or a software issue? Can I fix it in any way?
