[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Mare-12:
Hello everyone, a few days ago I flashed the new firmware for samsung S20 Ultra manually because updating was not possible from the settings on the phone. I got a "registration failed" error. After flashing, when I insert the SIM card and try to call, I get the error "not registered on network". The phone country id is WWC but i can`t find firmware with that csc code. I flasched telenor Serbia MSR code. Any help or information is welcome.

Idk if is still helpful, but try to install ARO (Argentina) firmware, it will get you a firmware that will receive updates. It also works for S21/S21+/S21 Ultra.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] gerhardo:
For those interested, an Xperia 5 ii cannot handle being dropped from a pocket and be trapped between the car and the door.

The frame is bent maybe 5mm and the back/front glass has separated from the frame. The front class is concave.

However, it amazingly still works. (It had an airbag case and a tempered glass screen protector.

I just must ask: Any chance of repairing it?

Not so many alternatives for me right now. The Pixel 5a would be a good fit if it was available outside USA/Japan. The 5ii is out of stock at many sellers and $150 more expensive when I purchased where available and the 5 iii is not available and expected to be much more expensive. Maybe a Asus Zenfone 8 instead.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
That's a hard hit.

Replace frame. The display and/or may fail once the pressure is relieved... hopefully not.

Also replace the battery to be on the safe side.

Inspect once apart for any additional damage.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Sopur:
Bend it back?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] gerhardo:
If I start to tinker with the 5ii (or use it normally), it will break it. I have found few suppliers of parts (the Sony repair links only works for companies). Only the screen was over half the price I paid for it, did not find a frame.

New 5ii are hard to find and are like 40% more expensive then when I bought the phone in April. I got a OnePlus 8T for 2/3 of what I paid for the 5ii. (I did not wait for the 5iii introduction offers, seem like the right choice.)

There are good and bad with both phones, the expected shortcomings with the 8T were not as bad as I expected (phone width, optical fingerprint, no tele, no camera button), other are better (display low light camera, 3 more Android updates). I prefer the 5ii in general though, especially when in bed the weight is annoying.

I will keep the 5ii as a memory in use the 15 min every morning when I charge the 8T while eating breakfast.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
If search around long enough you can find a good vendor and a new phone you want.

I ended paying $800 for a new N10+ a week ago.

I should had pulled the trigger 3 or 4 months ago and gotten one for at least a hundred less.

Bad times are coming and people know it.

2021 was a bust year for phones and Android.

If there's a particular model you want, try to get it new. They can sit on the shelf for a year or more.

Companies specialize in buying lots of unsold phones, still factory sealed. In my case it was exactly what I wanted. I now have 2 10+'s I can use interchangeably, a backup. I absolutely wuv this phone even after 2 years it's still just plain to fun to use. I don't expect much out of Samsung in 2022 and Android is in a flat spin too.

So it will be 2023-24 until I buy another flagship phone... if these jokers can get their assets together.

In any event I'm good probably well into 2025 with a few batteries. I just bypassed the bs🤣

Hi

I'm using a sim unlock Raphael with a Fido sim card, and I chose my network manually (I said this to indicate that the problem is not caused by automatic selection), the problem is the Roaming indicator is always ON!!!

Any body knows why?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] gbrowley:
Sorry no answer just an observation

I was in Toronto (I live in Hong Kong) in July for a month and purchased a Fido SIM card for my phone (TyTN II) and for my wife's phone (Samsung i780). I reset both phones and set them up for Fido. I also had the roaming icon displayed. When we returned to HK no more roaming icon.

Perhaps Fido is reading the IMEI number and because the phone is not a NAM model setting the roaming indicator? I don't know really know. I found it very strange when it happened but since it did not effect the performance of the phones, I didn't worry about it.

I'd like to know the answer as well, so I hope someone can tell us why this occurs.

Kind regards,

Glen Browley
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] BoldFace:
Fido SIM cards are seen as "guests" on the Rogers network they share that's why you have the roaming icon.

Hi, I have recently flashed the Evolution X (Android 11) ROM to my previously bricked device. I'm trying to install some APKs but I get the device offline error:

~ $ adb install ~/usr/local/Downloads/sh.ppy.osulazer.apk

This hasnt happened in LineageOS or Pixel Experience.

And if you ask, yes the laptop is detecting the device

Then restarted my computer, reloaded udev rules but it still doesnt work. Yes, my user is part of the adbusers group. Also tried as root user but same thing. I'm on Arch Linux btw.

Is there any way to fix this or do I just go back to PixelExperience/LineageOS?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Restart your device.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] rogerpanza:
I've done that tons of times
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Well, you didn't mention it, it looks like all is fine with Linux, it could be an error on the ROM side anyway check that you killed ADB server previously, and you don't have many devices attached to the PC. You should try running a terminal from user space like Desktop or Downloads (moving the app there) and not from the root directory to see if something change.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] rogerpanza:
I only have my phone plugged into my laptop, tried moving /usr/bin/adb to another folder as you said but same thing. And yeah it's most probably a ROM problem :/

It drives me crazy that they are in the "wrong" position

[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] Shadowthor:
If I recall. I don't think it's possible without an app. As motorola doesn't allow button shifting like other manufacturers. Also most are moving towards gestures.
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] LordNemesisXDA:
On a rooted phone, you might be able to modify it yourself:

https://xdaforums.com/t/swapping-back-and-recent-on-android-10.3964955/#post-80210229

At least they left the option to enable the buttons. I like my buttons, some gestures interfere with apps, and the screen is tall enough anyways.

I don't have much experience with the newer Android versions, but on a rooted phone, can't you just modify the APK, copy it to internal memory, remount /system read/write, and move it to the destination?

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] cpurick:
I have a 256GB Unlocked S21 5G, purchased unlocked from Samsung bc AT&T only carries 128GB.

When I open the Contacts app and search for a contact, then open Messages, it does not open Messages on its own thread. The Messages app appears under the Contacts icon in the task switcher view, and if I attempt to go to Contacts it takes me back into Messages. Messages is running on the Contacts thread. Unless I "back out" of messages, I cannot re-enter Contacts. The phone is running Nova 7, and Contacts is originally launched from app search.

I have an S10e which is configured similarly (almost identical, really) and it does not do this. Opening Messages from Contacts creates separate Messages and Contacts apps in the task switcher on the older phone, and the context of the Contacts app remains on the contact profile that was last selected.

I do not know when this started. Is it acceptable? Can anything be done about it without rooting the phone?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
On one hand , I check and double check that, so far as hardware is concerned , both Diamond and Raphael have exactly the same display specification :

- Display resolution : 480 x 640 (Colors: 65536)

On the other hand, I can see it , with my own eyes , that compared to Diamond, all images (lines, fonts, icons, pictures, colors, wallpapers ...) are extremely sharper , crispier and more vivid on Raphael's screen.

Why is there such big dispaly difference between two devices with identical display hardware?

Could it be that there are different display drivers used in Raphael? (although I'm sure if it were the case, our good chefs had already done that). But is it possible to reproduce Raphael's crystal-clear and intense vividness on Diamond?

WARNING!!

EDIT: It is now officially confirmed that many of the HTC Touch Diamonds arrive at your door with a faulty rubbish screen - the LCDs of which have noticeable light leaks with pale or yellowish screens that can never produce a bright vivid image a true VGA screen is able to display.

It is said that the screen of these diamonds are made in China and are far below the true VGA standards. So beware beware ! If you buy a Touch Diamond, FIRST check the screen quality and (if possible) have it compared with the screen of a Touch Pro. The images on both of these devices must be exactly identical. If not, then you've been robbed !

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] superpc:
i have a diamond and a touch pro, and i don't see any difference in both display

maybe a lil bit brighter for the touch pro screen, but that's probably just because of the touch pro's screen being newer
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] salada2k:
After having my old N95 for a little over a year, the screen died. The hardware revision of the LCD was v1.0.

When I got it replaced, the LCD hardware revision was v1.3.

The newer screen was so much brighter and more vivid I could not believe it.

If the same holds true the newer Diamond screen could be much better also! Guess we have to wait...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] smile_gerard:
Maybe they were just made from different manufacturer's. Like when the psp first came out. The lcd's were from Sharp and then later replaced with Samsung. Thou the Sharp lcd were said to be better if i'm not wrong.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Baronic:
i believe its LCD build related. the later Diamonds have a slightly brighter and crisper screen compared to the first batch
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
how could we check the built/model# of the LCD on either of the devices?

I compared the lcd of orange and o2 diamond. the o2 uk one is much better than the original htc and the orange one. i am very happy with the ignito lcd is perfect.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nilsk123:
My father has the Touch Pro, I have the Touch Diamond. I have to say that there is absolutely no difference in screen quality, they look exactly identical.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
what you're saying will make my life difficult. if we accept that different networks have their Diamonds built differently (as opposed to they're all being manufactured by HTC in Taiwan) then perhaps even if i succeed in convincing Orange to replace my device, i'll end up receiving another Diamond will the same old "pale" and weak screen - because it will come from Orange again.

up to now i was under the impression that HTC applies some merely cosmetic alterations on Diamond for various networks and that the actual base/boards/chips ...etc. are exactly the same and all manufactured and/or assembled at HTC firm in Taiwan.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shadowmike:
i doubt it.

normally companies like htc will have acouple factories and i believe its up to those factory managers to order the parts.

this is why recalls on products are always a low number instead of all the items. since most products are made in several differnt factories.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
reading some of the posts in this thread I really had the feeling that perhaps I am the odd one out (because everybody seems to be happy with the screen quality of his Diamond). and to be the odd one out is a nasty feeling indeed !

but today I noticed that the same issue have been disscussed here and there are so many people with the same issue http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=411487

so i'm not the only one having a diamond with a ****-yellowish screen ! in fact, i can say that any one of you guys who have a diamond with a screen quality as good as a Raphael screen, should be a very lucky guy.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] qtek_metanol:

That is why i changed to the ignito which is the o2 uk version of the diamond with a flat back. because watching videos on an orange uk diamond is crap. ignitos screen is perfect. the colours are perfect. i just love it. i will post some pictures later.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
I just wonder why we do not put together an awareness campaign (something like the one some of the guys of XDA started in HTCClassAction.org) ?

This is really unacceptable. After the infamous Kaiser's display_driver issue, now we are facing another ugly rip-off by HTC - this time they are putting an expensive device on our plates with a defective screen which is far below the standards of a crispy sharp and vivid VGA screen.

I hope mods can make this thread a Sticky so that all the people who are suffering from diamon's ****ty screen can post their complaints and can think of doing something in this regard.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
The sad thing is that there was nobody around me with a Diamond (for me to compare the screens). Now two and a half months in my contract, I ordered a Raphael and after comparing the two devices , for the first time I noticed that I was officially ****ed with the Orange Diamond !

Unfortunately, I ordered the Diamond through "Phones4u" and they are telling me that because the 28-day cooling-off period is over, they are not going to change the diamond for me.... aargh.

I remeber that HTCClassAction.org made a fantastic awareness campagin (in which millions of people around the world became aware of Kaiser's display driver fault - and they simply didn't buy that device).

If we do the same with Diamond (at least here in XDA) people would know that the first thing they should check about the Diamond is the screen. Imagine what will happen if more than half of the Diamonds are returned on the first day of purchase. This will certainly force HTC (and its distributors such as Orange ..etc.) to do something about the ****ing screen.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sumitescp:
It is not that important the screen works fine but it is a bit different. If you read terms and conditions or policy of htc (which i dont know where to get) I am sure it must say something about this as this is not a fault. If you send it to htc for warranty repair you can just tell them it goes off sometimes or you can make something up. they might replace the screen or give a brand new (refurb maybe) diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ceevee369:
HTC Taiwan (flagship shop) has no awareness of faulty devices / or "China" build lower quality LCD screens. They had no consumer complaints on this (yet)

Just a thought - could this not be a started hoax seen the China quality ethics lately?

Melamine milky screens :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mandragore:
I understand your frustration, it's a shame your Diamond's screen isn't up to par. And action could or should be taken to remedy intolerable issues.

But do you really believe in the end it's a good thing for HTC customers if sales dropped? And that HTC will actually replace the screens on however many devices? I don't..
