Very possible, I had the gear s3 classic 45mm and went to the regular GW4 44mm. I didn't bother opening the new charger when I saw it was identical in size/shape/design. Theyre the exact same charger for me, are your two chargers diffferent in any way?

Edit: I checked and the model number on the back of the 2 chargers are the exact same. EP-OR825
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] jtOttawa:
I think you might be referring to the Galaxy Watch 3 charger? The Gear S3 charger is a completely different (and better, IMHO) beast.

Does anyone know of a program or tweak to shrink or reduce the height of the taskbar in all applications? I know that there are a few programs that can do this with the today screen, but was hopeing that someone might know of a way to do it in everything. It just feels like the top and bottom taskbar take like 30% of the screen real estate.

i had problem with my password , so i made a factory reset with my twrp .

right now i dont see the twrp file in my phone , and also , when im pushing together the volume down+power on/off im not entering to the twrp as usuall .

maybe while doing the factory reset ive errassed the twrp? how can i know that before flashing the twrp again?

another question - why while pushing together the volume down+power on/off im not entering to the fastboot , altough i see the fastboot?

thnx
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Chicko24:
i think when you have so much problems with you Phone its better you make a FORMAT DATA and install the ROM that you have on your Phone NEW .

1. few days ago i forgot my password , so i entered with the twrp and made wipe data+factory reset .

2. after that the eu rom remains with my language and nothing been changed

3. today i decided that i want to flash the eu rom from the begining , so i copy the rom to my internal storage , but i couldnt see the twrp file

4. after i didnt see the twrp file , i discovered that the developer options where closed , so i opened them again , but i didnt see if my device is still locked , and there is a special raw in the developer options that tell you if the device is locked .

5. after that i saw on the screen the keylock sign in open position and also i connected the phone with the "mi unlock tool " and i saw that my device is unlocked along with the serial of the phone .

6. i entered the twrp and i didnt find the eu rom zip file in the sdcard section (the file is empty) . i searched everywhere in the twrp and i couldnt see it .

7. right now the situation is that i can see the zip file on my computer , but not the twrp file , , and when im in the twrp i cant see the eu rom zip file .

8. thats the whole story , now , how can i see the file on the twrp ? how can i flash the rom ? maybe i should errase everything and begin from the beginning ?

how can i return to the original chinese rom including the original fastboot , that ive got in my device when i bought him?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
Flash original china ROM , it comes with it's own recovery so you don't/won't need twrp
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] mmns:
if im flashing china original rom with is fastboot recovery , is it mean that im getting to the starting point where i got the device when i bought it with the factory settings?

1. can i flash original china rom on eu rom without causing "brick" ?

2. where i can find original china rom for my mi 11 pro and how can i flash it without using the twrp?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
Original ROM won't brick it
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Sathelp:
Mifirm.net and just look up the phone for all available ROMs. Find the fastboot version, flash and you are back to stock.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hungragezone:
just format data in twrp, everything will be back
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
That would leave him still on the eu ROM when he wants to go back to the China ROM
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hungragezone:
Nope, i found that format data won't delete anything. I dont know how to explain, but i met alot of strange problem with 11 ultra twrp, such as after flash eu rom, my phone didn't boot to system, always boot to twrp, and at that time, twrp cant find any file on phone storage. At last, i found that after flash rom, i only need to format data, and then everythings started to work. Rom boot normally, twrp can see all file in phone storage
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
I never had that issue
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] gammelobst:
Hello,

i always use an USB-Stick for the ROM - so there is no access to phone storage needed.

Please try it.
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] Leroy_Sparks:
When using in phone or speaker phone mode, the volume is very low - even with it maxed with the buttons. Same goes when I listen to voice mails with ATT visual voicemail app. However, when playing music the volume is quite good even at 50% volume.

I noticed that phone use uses only the top speaker, while playing music uses both the top and bottom speaker. I'd like to get louder volume during calls. Anyone have suggestions or insights?

BTW I'm rooted and running Havoc 4.8 if that matters.

Thanks in advance.

No TWRP was made by developer yet so kindly wait when it develops
[Samsung Galaxy F62 / M62] Andrologic:
This is definitely

not

a recommendation or guide and chances of success are low, but If you're adventures and 200% sure you know & have what's required for flashing the device back from a bootloop/soft-brick if things go wrong, you can experiment booting into TWRP with one of the unofficial TWRP versions that comes closest to and matches how Recovery is setup on this device and see if you have luck, then do a permanent install if you find one that works. If not and in general - better not going this route and wait until someone makes & test a proper version for this specific model.

HI,

I had been using the phone for the past 1 year. It was working fine. But, for past couple of months after the recent updates, everything went haywire.

I downloaded the last Android 10 ROM from sammobile and flashed it, it did not help too.

I am at a loss , can anyone please suggest anything.

Do I really need to flash the stack ROM , is that the only option I have ?

Hi. I bought a few days ago a Nokia 5.4 and the box seems to have a weird pattern. I am now lurking the forums and unboxing videos to check if maybe I was sold a fake.

I attached a picture with the problem. One the sides, one of the flaps is completely glued to the side walls, and one is completely not glued and flips freely.

Is this normal? do others have the same boxes? i cant afford to buy a new one to check it out.

Bro, as long as the device works like it should it's fine you shouldn't worry.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] killnine:
My Alltel 6800 works great, except for the viewing angle. If I look straight on at the screen, the colors (especially darkest black) appear as they would if you looked at a normal lcd from an obtuse angle. The blacks go to copper, colors go weird, etc. If I view the screen from a 45 degree angle (top or bottom), it looks almost perfectly correct. It seems strange that this would be a physical installation problem with the screen, as the viewing angle is almost 45 degrees off, so how could the screen be so wrongly placed? I am wondering if any other setting would have an effect on the device like this. It has been this way from stock, to new roms, through hard reset, etc. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[ASUS ZenFone 8] flolaff:
Hi,

A week ago I was using my < 4 months old Zenfone 8 while traveling in Germany, and at 19% battery the screen turned black. I went back home, tried charging it for as long as possible, it was staying cold and never showed any sign of life.

So I opened a RMA on Asus Belgium website (as I am from Belgium), and shipped the phone to their repair center.

Today, I got an email from them, saying that the warranty wasn't covering the damage, and that I had to pay 500,28€ for a replacement of the motherboard.

When going into their OOW website, I saw this table :

Warranty start:	2021-05-16	Warranty end:	2023-05-15
Issue date:	2021-09-13	Receive date:	2021-09-15
Charge reason:	OOW	Customer agree to quotation:
Charge reason:	OOW - Out of warranty ASUS Product Unlock Flag-oow scratched

It seems to me that the "unlock flag" is their bootloader unlock tool, that I had indeed used to root the phone before, and wanted to try a few custom ROM - which I actually never did since there were none at the time. Of course, this is completely unrelated to the issue, as it is not even rooted anymore and I basically did nothing with it.

As I am from the EU, I saw that there are laws that protect consumers from these types of abusive behaviors from companies, as explained here https://piana.eu/root/

I am therefore

1) looking for people who had this problem with their Zenfone 8 (what is it actually? never seen a brand new phone die like this)

2) looking for people who had their warranty denied for an unlocked bootloader in the EU, and what is possible to do

Thank you very much for your attention and for your help
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:
There loads of people that has the same bricked state:

ZenFone8 stuck on waiting for flashing full ramdump

As requested by the mod - opening new discussion for the issue. The Flashing Full Ramdump happened to me too - the phone was being charged over the night and the error was waiting when I woke up. I hope that at least your service will fix it quickly.

zentalk.asus.com

I had it on my 1st ZF8, complety dead. Sent it for repair but ASUS refunded it.

2nd one seems resistent to this bug, rooted, flashed all kinds of roms etc, ended in ramdump state but can always boot to fastboot.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] flolaff:
I've seen that but I'm not sure it's the exact same state, as for me it didn't even display anything anymore. Also, did Asus refund you even with your bootloader unlocked?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:
Yes, it was bootloader unlocked.

You can also check state when you plug it to computer, even with dark screen.

Check what the usb connection says in device manager
[ASUS ZenFone 8] flolaff:
Yeah I tried it back when I had the phone (since it’s now hostage at Asus) and nothing showed up in the device manager
[ASUS ZenFone 8] flolaff:
So update: After a bit of back and forth emailing, I finally got an answer: « Im really sorry but our answer will not change. By using the unlock tool you have agreed that the warranty will be dropped, no matter what problem you are experiencing and regardless of how the problem arose. »

So basically they openly agree that they are scamming me of 500€ after selling me a faulty device, but thanks to an abusive clause, they think they can do it.

Great customer service, always a pleasure to give business to such a great company as Asus… I’ll get my lawyer involved now, anyone who has advices on the legal process in the EU is very welcome.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:

I really hope my small 128 GB phone won't have this issue. I really like this phone...
[ASUS ZenFone 8] assasss:
There are reports on Zentalk forums of both 128 and 256 models dying

We are basically all held in suspense wondering if our phones will die or not. Personally, I have a second phone (Xperia z5 premium) that is fully set up and I can easily switch in case of problems, but it is still not a nice feeling
[ASUS ZenFone 8] blackhawk:
Possible battery failure. Inspect.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:
I dont think its battery fail, seems more likely that storage or RAM gets corrupt, the 1st state is

"waiting for flashing full ramdump". I have this state on my 2nd zf8 but can always reboot to fastboot. That was not the case on the first unit
[ASUS ZenFone 8] assasss:
Ramdump is a battery failure?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] blackhawk:
If you already found the cause disregard...
[ASUS ZenFone 8] assasss:
I haven't found the cause. My phone is working normally.

However people on Zentalk forums which have sent their phones for repair have reported that the service report has information that motherboard was replaced. I can't confirm or deny this
[ASUS ZenFone 8] flolaff:
Was the 128GB model for me, we still don’t know what the issue is.

If I can’t get the phone fixed the legal way I think I’ll pay the 60€ to get it back unrepaired (because yes, I have to pay for that) and open it myself to try and find the issue. Maybe I’ll be more competent than their lame service at identifying the issue 😅
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Blumi511:
Oh man I feel sorry for you. In Germany, they'd have to prove it was not their fault in the first 6 month after buying

Well, actually I opened a case at the European Commission’s « Online Dispute Resolution » against Asus Europe, and didn’t get an answer, but 3 days later I got an email from UPS saying that they had shipped my repaired phone back.

well it just happened to me also, luckily i didnt unlocked bootloader. lol after a moment it just worked again.

[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
Speaking of the battery and usb, it happens each time the phone is charging.

Also wanted to ask those who can reboot their phones, are they still working? I'm a bit worried mine won't reboot anymore one day...
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Boneface Johnson:
Same here, phone was charging, suddenly turned off. Since then no sight of life, no led, Display won't turn on, nothing.

Asked Asus for refund, no chance because I bought my phone from China HongKong not EU. Asus can't even offer fee-based repair because then "don't have the spareparts".

Now I'm disgussing with my seller for refund....
[ASUS ZenFone 8] blackhawk:
If bought it with a MC or Visa contact the bank about doing a charge back. You will need to return the phone to the vendor before that will take.

Meh, I don't goof around with stuff like this and go for the throat if the manufacturer or vendor gives me a hard way to go...
[ASUS ZenFone 8] sakun-ice:
I am not a user of this phone but I have visited this forum because it attracts my attention and I could buy this or the zenfone 9 in the future. But reading this has surprised me. It is a very serious problem and Asus should solve it immediately.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Moncicci:
interesting, can you explain the procedure? Maybe someone can do the same

Are there any costs to open this dispute?

Thanks
[ASUS ZenFone 8] flolaff:
The procedure is free and can be introduced here, it's really easy! https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/

I'm really not sure that it is what resolved my case though, I think it was solved a few days earlier (but I didn't know as they didn't tell me).
[ASUS ZenFone 8] tafarelli:
Mine also died.

First, camera couldn't focus on distance. Than, few days later, phone just died. No overheating, nothing... just stopped working. unbelievable. it had few months
[ASUS ZenFone 8] blackhawk:
Sounds like a mobo failure😕
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
Well, it happened. After a few months of daily ramdumps, my phone is totally dead!!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:
Now my 2nd zenfone 8 died, started with some strange google issues, could not add account.

Then b part of the a/b was corrupt and gave errors when trying to restore rom. Now it hard bricked as the1st ZF8.

I gave up on asus phones, going to s21 now.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Voodoojonny:
Oh, don't go to s21... I came from s21! The camera is really bad. I can't understand how a flagship phone can be shipped with such a bad camera. Xiaomi 12 is a small flagship phone. I would give it a try.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] HyperCriSiS:
I had the RAM dump some month ago but I was able to boot into fastboot.

Some weeks ago my phone turned off several times.

It went working well then for about a week till I made a restart.

After the restart I entered my PIN, the phone went dark and showed the ramp dump error and this time nothing worked anymore.

I sent it to ASUS and and it got replaced.

The ASUS report says:

"The error could not be reproduced. No hardware defect could be found"

This made me curious and I called the ASUS support asking for details. I also told them that this is a common issue which many people reported.

ASUS Support:

"The device was only tested for a short time and was then immediately flagged for replacement.

Officially we are not aware of such a common issue with the Zenfone 8."

However, I am glad that the replacement went fast and without hassle.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] dron39:
