[OnePlus 9 Pro] prieditis:
Hello. My wife has One plus 9 Pro for a few weeks. Recently something went wrong with a camera as picture started twitching. You cant even take photo ir video, picture from camera twitches (like pulsing to right and back). After restart if phone camera works when you open camera app for a first rime, after that again the same problem. Phone hasnt beent droped nor any other damage. Almost brand new. Any ideas what went wrong with it? Thank you un advance
[OnePlus 9 Pro] thats_the_guy:
Definitely sounds like an issue with the autofocus. To confirm, is this on stock firmware with the OnePlus camera app or gcam mod?

As the OnePlus 9 phones use a laser autofocus, I'd check that nothing is obstructing the focus lens first (to the right of the top camera sensor). If you have a camera glass protector, there ones I've used put a hole there to avoid distortion but with the downside dust builds up and I need a qtip to clean it.

If this is right, the reason it works at first is it goes to its default focus level on boot and tapping to focus then directs the laser
[OnePlus 9 Pro] prieditis:
Its a stock firmware with One Plus camera app. No lens protektora used. She uses original case what was un the box.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] thats_the_guy:
Assuming the laser isn't at fault, I'd say there's likely defective hardware, multiple parts it could be though. You could try the gcam mod app and see if that helps, if it were better there, then we would know its software and not hardware, but that's unlikely given the problem.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] prieditis:
Ok. Will try
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiskerHotck:
E.g., I want them to be able to use Disney+, and I want to be able to install new apps from Google Play, but I don't want THEM to install new apps or use a web browser.

All my kids are under 10 years old. They can figure out basic settings, usually. I can just hide certain apps but they tend to find them while messing around.

Google allows you to create child accounts, which can be controlled by parent accounts. However, it doesn't seem possible to sign into a child account on a Fire (I seem to recall that this has always been a limitation).

Amazon provides some sort of kid account mode but it doesn't work with Google stuff.

I can just not give them the Wi-Fi password, but that's the nuclear option.

I might be able to install LineageOS and do something with that, but I'd prefer not to go to so much trouble. Using the Fire Toolbox is much less time-consuming.

My best bet at the moment seems to be NetGuard, which can disallow certain apps from accessing the internet. It seems to work pretty well, but there's no way to password guard it, so they'd probably eventually disable it by accident or while trying things out.

Any methods I haven't thought of?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] memesforlife:
Sadly the only way you could do this is install lineage os :(

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishvalanX:
Hello.

I restored a backup from twrp as some kernel did not work. Unfortunately, I ticked firmware while restoring.

Now I do not have wifi, imei, BT, sim recognition. Which I could have fixed by fixing modemst1-2 via adb or twrp terminal. But both of them not working.

cannot copy files via usb from PC because pc does not recognize my phone anymore. Tried copying another rom and firmware flash file to a microSD and pen drive via otg. but whenever I do, twrp says zip file is corrupt. I am in a continious bootloop of problems and see dead end.

please help. Sorry for bad english.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
My recommendation: Take phone to authorized service center and let them try to fix it. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishvalanX:
it is from 2017. no warranty left. as a student, not much money I have. that is why i posted for a desperate help. any other way than service center? they will charge quite a lot.

also, pc recognizes the phone sometimes now but cannot paste files from pc to there. but it recognizes.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
Then try to re-flash phone's Stock ROM at your own to get rid off of all the modifications you applied so far. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishvalanX:
i can not download the stock rom through my phone (no wifi no mobile data), can not paste from pc. if i paste or try directly flashing from usb otg pendrive or card reader, says zip file is corrupt. even tho it is not.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishvalanX:
the phone is fine other than these problems. i have two custom roms on my internal storage from before this mess. and they just flash and work fine. but again, no imei, no wifi etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamespaul2u:
Visit the nearest service center. If it is warranty or guarantee period.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:

[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hassan_1000:
I'm on color os 11.2 on my Find X3 Pro. I've been paying attention to the refresh rate today and in no circumstance have I seen it drop below 120hz.

I do a lot of reading on Google Play Books so I would've expected 60 maybe 30 maybe 1hz but it sticks to 120hz. Even without touching the screen fit a minute, it still won't go down
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] maxellxl:
Try wity youtube 😛 you can enable refresh rate indicator in developers options to see when it changes.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hassan_1000:
Still 120hz mate
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] maxellxl:
Not possible...YT works on 60hz.

View attachment 5417855
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] maxellxl:
Thats odd....

Which firmware version?

If you play sth on YT does it go down to.60?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] gazt1888:
Yeah but it doesn't drop down to 1hz as advertised by Oppo, yet again more misleading information to increase sales. With adaptive refresh it will fluctuate between 60hz - 120hz. This was advertised previously on the U.K website but it's not present, I asked Oppo and they gave me instructions to switch between 60-120 and stated that the 1hz to 120hz with will be activated with a future update.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] bananaman799:
Hey guys, I am trying to install a custom rom on my LePro 3, however, every method I tried on this website and other websites for flashing LineageOS does not work at all. Eventually, I came across a post saying that my current version, 21s, does not support unocking the bootloader or something like that. It also said to have 19s installed on the device. There is a post on this site for the link download, except it doesn't work. I would really appreciate if anyone gave a link for the 19s stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] ultradj83:
Dears,

it's a few months I'm dealing with an absurd problem with Google Assistant on my S20 Ultra.

Firmware releases have passed as Google app versions, but problem persists and Samsung's support is useless.

My phone is set to Italian.

Simply, after some time Google Assistant begins to appear half in English and half in Italian.

Check this video for better understanding:

As you can see, it doesn't work either in English or Italian till I kill it.

I checked all language settings in my phone and in the Assistant's settings, it's all set to Italian.

I just have English and Italian as offline speech recognition languages, as English cannot be uninstalled.

Clearing Google app's data, reinstalling the app and also factory resetting the phone doesn't fix.

I honestly have no more ideas.

Any suggestions?

Regards

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] spikeyl:
Just spotted a green pixel on my main fold3 screen. Currently running Dead Pixels Test and Fix, hoping this will sort it but no luck so far. Anyone else has issues? First time Ive ever had this on a phone, and Ive been using smarphones since the original XDA. Screen hasn't been damaged, pixel got stuck when using it - noticed switching between aps.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Sounds like a blown driver... display failure.

The drivers are integrated into display matrix, tens of thousands of them. Still sound like a good idea to fold that?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] arnodude53:
Usual manafacturer policy (for monitors atleast) is that 1-3 dead or stuck pixels is considered within production error margin. I don't know what Samsung's policy for this is on their phones, but if it really bothers you you could try applying the device for RMA either way. Atleast that's what i would do.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
A monitor is a different animal and a lot more real estate. This is a premium device with a premium price tag!

Even at close to 2 years old my 10+ has zero dead, stuck or degraded pixels as it should.

If within the return period, do so...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] arnodude53:
I agree.

If you'd ask me I'd say that any dead/stuck pixel(s) are unacceptable if it they appear within the products warranty period. No matter if it's a TV, laptop, phone or any other product. Not only can they ruin the viewing experience depending on the location and "vividness" of the stuck/dead pixel(s), but they also make your device suddenly a lot less worth if you were to sell it second-hand, no matter how new it is. All while the user has 0 fault in this.

I often wonder about the legality of such manafacturer policies, and if they would actually hold up if someone or a group of people were to escalate such matter to court.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Worse, green is the most visible color spectrum to the human eye. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

No doubt one of the reasons for the high cost of this phone are the cost of the rejected displays during the manufacturing process.

There's no way to repair them so they are scraped. These aren't a high volume product and the development costs are enormous.

What is Samsung thinking?

Samsung been far more profitable by sticking with using those funds to develope the Note series further instead. It have yielded far more bang for the buck for Samsung.

Silly SK gambling... it's a cultural thing and Samsung tradition. This time the snake eyes are glowing, perfect.

Rather than go with a sure thing, Samsung bet long again with predictable results. What's the definition of insanity Sammy?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] spikeyl:
Yes that's right - its small but very bright so obvious. Still there so on phone to O2 to get a replacement
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Melby9999:
Did you have any luck getting Samsung to fix your screen? I have a Z Fold 2 that I have had since June, and it also has damaged pixels along the fold. It looks like a red one and 3 green, with a little section of black too - about the length of a flea. I read some's experience of Samsung telling them there were tiny puncture holes so it was user damage and not covered!!!
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] gaya4:
Hello,

today I did have a strange experience with my ROG 2 and my best guess is that there is some UFS problem, but a second opinion or ideas are welcome.

During a bike ride when I was wifi scanning (apps: "Tower collector", "Radio Beacon"), navigating and listening to an audio book, the phone just went dark. I thought from previous experience on a Note 3 that it might have overheated. Pretty much stress proofed from the previous phone.

Yes - it was warm in its bike pocket but really not overly hot.

The phone is an ebay buy 2 months old and has been ever since with omnirom, stable so far. I only noticed that the RGB LED here has no blue light, but I plainly did not care.

I tried to boot it after some 10 minutes again and the phone would not go past its omnirom boot screen until it reboots after some time, boot loops.

30 Minutes later at home I wondered then what is going on, and I copied off the TWRP backup from the phone I took two days ago, just in case.

I then tried to restore the same backup, but the phone switched off during restore after ~30%. This was reproducible, so I thought this may be something with the backup, maybe I cannot restore a partition. When I restore I had all partitions marked and I tested them one by one. The restore of single partitions worked, one by one, except vendor as it was marked read only and data as it failed unpacking (my recent backup then is dead?).

I then tried formatting the partitions, so "data", originally f2fs. I lack experience with journal recovery on f2fs so went to ext4. System was ext4 and was just wiped. I lost of course other data on the internal storage so tried to restore again with my copied backup. It restores, but it cannot boot and just bootloops. I now formatted all partitions, including vendor.

Finally, I tried downloading omnirom again and installed it. It won't boot, it doesn't even get to the boot animation, but just boot loops.

I reformatted data back to f2fs. But no change here.

Trying more: lineageos won't flash for unknown reasons, it immediately dies as "Error installing zip file". Checksum of the downloaded zip is correct.

I downloaded a stock rom and installed it. This is now the best result so far - It does want to boot.

Here I get a boot animation and this incredibly lame "tching" sound (it is a phone, not a sword...). But it also stops there and never continues. Yes, first boot takes longer, but not 10 minutes.

Any ideas what else to try with this phone?

So far, I can boot twrp via sideload and interact with it fine. But that will be it; ran out of ideas.

Happy for suggestions.

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] venkatesh321:
Use raw firmware to restore everything.

Install latest firmware zip on both slots.

After installing custom roms go to wipe -> format data by typing yes. Otherwise rom wont boot
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] gaya4:
thanks for getting back, If by raw firmware you meant the ASUS stock, I did. Not sure why data wipe after installation or double install to a/b partition would make a difference, but in the end I am new to this a/b concept, looks though like standard dual boot to me. Tried it, but no difference.

- installed asus firmware to inactive B

- switched to B partition

- installed asus firmware to inactive A

- wiped data

- started, so far same behaviour after 15 minutes of waiting (boot animation with sound, then it repeats boot animation until ...).
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] venkatesh321:
There are Two kind of rom raw firmware (used to restore bricked device) and recovery rom (zip file we use for update)

Raw firmware will flash ROM to both the slots, while recovery rom only flash to one slot. So you need to Only select reboot to recovery after flashing ROM to switch to the updated slot.

No, stock rom is not exactly raw firmware. RAW firmware uses EDL mode (in bootloader) to flash the stock rom. Download A10 raw from here version .90.

when extracting it you will see some files.

Steps To flash Raw:

* enable usb debugging in phone.

*connect the phone via side port to pc

open command prompt and run this command

adb devices

adb reboot bootloader

Now go to the folder where you extracted the raw firmware & run "flashall_AFT.cmd" as admin

wait [there will be no output]. After 15 -20 mins your device should boot. If you have any old version stock rom data the phone will carry the data to new version. If you have any custom rom/ updated version of stock rom data, it will ask to factory reset, so do that.

wiping is not exactly formatting so do it the right way

Why format: the one where you format by typing "yes" .If you switch between Roms ( stock to custom or vice versa) and go back to older versions (v .100 to .60) the old/previous rom data cant be used with new one so you must format data.

when formatting is not necessary : If you want to upgrade both stock images (version .90 to .100) & custom rom (v 1 to 1.2) i.e., flashing stock rom and then custom rom over it, you dont need to format data because you can reuse the data from custom rom to updated custom rom.

A/B device use two partition instead of one. so the upgrade can happen in the background. On restart you will switched to updated slot. So room for error is less.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] gaya4:
The wiping here should be the same as formatting, as it is running the mke2fs (as per TWRP settings). But raw rom I do not have (I believe).

The link you have there seems broken, could you repost it again?

I did download the stock ROM earlier from ASUS directly, to not violate policies, HTTP links etc, here is only the path on asus . com

pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZS660KL/UL-ASUS_I001_1-ASUS-17.0240.2103.75-1.1.229-user.zip

That is the one I installed via recovery. Am not sure what is in your mentioned flashall_AFT.cmd though, but suspect some adb sideload at least.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] gaya4:
I eventually succeeded, but of course would liek to know

1) why

2) what happened?

I did follow a video about flashing the stock rom, basically as you explained (factory reset and data wipe), twice to a and b partition. That made the device bootable. Why is this needed?

I tested wiping system again (I am used to doing clean flashes) and installed omnirom again, and it failed booting.

I installed again the a/b with stocks, factory reset and data wipe and installed omnirom as dirty flash. All is well.

Now I was able to restore my backup finally without the device switching off and it did not complain about the data backup. So finally I am with my phone again rom and copy data to my fresh partition.

as to 1) why?

I understand a/b partition as sort of windows/linux dual boot with a more separate bootloader maybe. So I do not see the point in flashing the stock rom twice or in rendering the device unbootable when wiping system.

and as 2) what happened.

I may only guess: I did an omnirom upgrade 2 days earlier that worked fine and was the reason for my nandroid.

During my ride, the phone had some whateverissue and rebooted. I am unsure whether i tested booting but assume that after the upgrade it flashed to the other partition and it was not bootable. It does not make sense as this would make a/B partitions rather hard for custom rom makers, e.g. people complaining all the time.

Other guess: there was a file system issue with f2fs. Problem with data partition seems to cause bigger issues.

When I flash to ext4 after testing the bootable rom with a wiped data, it would not boot anymore. After factory reset again, it mke2fs the data partition again, back to f2fs and the device booted again happily.

Thanks for the help. Happy to know/learn more about this issue, as I would love to prevent or handle them quicker with more of I know what I'm doing.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] venkatesh321:
Android Dual Partition (A/B) is made for seamless updates i.e, Dual system/vendor partition but uses same data partition. Lets say you are currently in slot A when you apply system update the slot B gets updated. As always rebooting the device switches to the B partition after update. & further update flashes the system to the A partition.

Basically there is no need to flash stock rom twice, unless you are coming from stock [one partition might be in higher firmware version than other] or there is new stock version with some minor/major upgrades to firmware files.

Our custom ROMs are not stand alone, Mostly it only replaces the system files and keep the vendor same as stock. (also this keeps the ROM update file size to be minimum)

you might even have different version of Android in A/B partition.

Here is a scenario on How A/B works:

Say you are currently using your device in B-slot and A9 so partition on slot-A will be A9 partition slot-B be A9. After that you are doing system update to A10 from System update (not via TWRP)

now you will have A10 on slot-A and A9 on slot-B.

then you want to go to custom rom, so you flashed say omni on A-slot and rebooted & it will surely work.

After that you are using inbuild system update from custom rom any applied it. now the system update will overwrite the A9's system files but (the device specifically needs A10s vendor to work properly). Now comes the fun part i.e., soft brick, boot looping, and corrupt images

That's why you have to flash latest stock to both A and B slots, and overwrite them all with system files from custom rom (also should be flashed once in slots A and B) to get neat experience from custom ROMs.

If you understand what was written above, then you will know the reason behind soft brick.

stock rom flashed only once (firmware image variation may affect stability)

custom rom only flashed in one slot (switching slot will boot loop device)

Not using Reboot to recovery to flash (you will be flashing to the same slot over and over & thus rebooting will boot loop)

Not formatting data ( Just Maybe, your custom ROM and stock uses different file system for data partition)

For Raw files search "ASUS rog 2 RAW firmware images" those files will be around 3 GB in size.
[Huawei MatePad Pro (2021)] UM Marneus:
Hello everybody !

When after I updated some of my applications who was working perfectly, like Twitter, Spotify, LinkedIn or PayPal for example, via Aurora Store like I usually do, thoose apps now refuse to work. I can see the splash screen, and then they close immediately...

I tried to update via another .apk provider like APKpure or APPtoid, and still have this issues.

The only way I have for now to use these apps is to uninstall theme and install an older version of theme.

Am I the only one who ran into these annoying bugs ?

Does somebody have any clues or fix for thoose ?
[Huawei MatePad Pro (2021)] cappuccina:
Hi,

I know it's a while back, but if you don't have fixed it yet and for anybody with the same issue.

I have a Huawei Matepad 11 and had the same issue.

I used this video to solve the problem.

So basically if you use aurora store, like I do, you go to settings->apps and services->apps->AppGalary and force stop it. Then go to storage and clear cache and data.

Don't open AppGalary again.

After that then you can install apps again via aurora store. Works for YouTube vanced and other apps that you sideload from other sources.

Hope this helps. (y)
