Hi,

Isn't it possible to get battery usage after charging?

My stats are not being reseted after a fully charge...

You can't choose stats after charging, just 24h
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Reboot the phone to reset? You can also try the Accubattery app. EX Kernel Manager has a great battery monitor too.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] pa.pn2:
Reboot doesn't Reset the stats, but i forgot about the stats in EX Manager.

It's shown correctly, thanks
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] xtachiru:
So basically, I have downloaded the latest supported device version (MIUI Global 12.0.2 Stable) and after that I noticed that I cannot use whatsapp the way I am supposed to. I don't know if it's the update or the fact that I had whatsapp beta and they did some mistakes. In the whatsapp beta version I noticed that I dont get any notification sound when I receive a message. After the update I decided to opt out of the beta program and hope that I will be able to downgrade to the official version from the playstore. Turns out that I have to reinstall whatsapp which will make me lose all my chats if I don't create a backup.

The Problem: Backups do not work. Not on google drive or at my local storage, i've tried both with and without media selected. The message I always get is "Unable to back up messages". When I receive an image, a video or a voice memo on the other hand it says "Unable to download media" and I am stuck on the preview. I really need those chats on my phone but I also cannot wait for the next official update, also I cannot download the latest beta version because the program is full. I'd really appreciate if some of you can help me since I've always found a solution on this forum.

Thank you in advance.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
for notification remove it from battery optimisation

for media write give it storage access
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] marazula:
I have the exact same problem since I donwload 12.0.2. I have tried what loopypalm recommended but doesn't work. I'm currently searching for a solution, if I find something I'll leave another comment here.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] marazula:
Hi again, I don't know if you already solve this but doing some research I found that more people were having this issue after updating their Miui. They all recomended that -sadly- the only way to fix it is to reinstall the app. Yes, you are going to loose your chats and stuff if you don't have a recent backup but its the only way that worked for them and aslo has worked for me. I thought about reinstalling a few hours later since the bug appeared but was trying to find other ways. So, yeah. It worked for me for now... btw i found varios threads on reddit talking abut this issue. Here is two of them:

Another great update from Xiaomi!

This A11 latest update just messed up my Note 8T being full of bugs I was forced to flash back the previous working version!

Now, I'm afraid of every update that comes, officially/ ota
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
they do this on purpose

first they nerfed the camera quality in their last A10 and 11 builds (thankfully there is a camera libs patch for custom roms)

and i keep hearing miui bugs everyday (BT/wifi speed/wsp/ ...)
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] xtachiru:
thank you for your help. I've done some research myself since i've managed to replace my whatsapp with the newest version. However this didn't fix my issue, I only got the notifications to work. Sadly, uninstalling is not an option for me since i've got very personal and important chats which I don't want to lose. I guess I will just wait and see if I ever get it fixed, maybe one day I might get to a point where I don't need those messages anymore, who knows.

EDIT: I am waiting 168 hours for the fastboot unlock, I might just flash a custom rom over my current data if that works and hope that this will fix it.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
Unlocking the bootloader process will format data

and even on unlocked BL ,Miui data are not compatible with any custom rom (except miui mods)

i don't use wsp but i think it creates a folder on internal storage with chat (crypted) and media (audio+video) and backups ,so whenever you install a new version i detect it

i'm not sure but your best bet is to copy that folder to PC and restore it after flash and hope it work
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] xtachiru:
thanks for the info, i guess my only option is to just wait and hope that it will get fixed by either whatsapp or xiaomi side.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] upm15:
Ok, i did search over the forum, found some posts on this problem. But no solution, or i couldn't get the solution.

So, the question: everytime i click the bluetooth on at the comm manager, the "Making devices visible" will not checked at other people not able to send files to me. I need to manually go to bluetooth settings to enable it. It looks tedious every time i need to do double job by enable the bluetooth at comm manager and go to bluetooth setting to check "making devices visible".

Any tweak on this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] upm15:
Ok. Found the solution by myself.

At blurtooth setting, click the timeout tab. Change Turn off visible mode to "never".

Try on bluetooth and check Make device visible again. It should work on your next bluetooth turn on.

Sorry for asking a dumb question.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Nickgr:
This works until the next time you soft reset the device. Do you think there is a registry key that makes it permanent?

Good day!

Do you have any recommended plastic film screen protector for Pixel 6 Pro?

I want a tempered glass one but since I am planning to use Spigen Tough Armor (and planning to switch to Otterbox Defender if it becomes available), tempered glass might not be the way to go. On top of that, the screen edges are curved.

Just like what I read from OnePlus 5 threads when it was new where Otterbox + TGSP were not compatible, it might also happen with Pixel 6 Pro if I switch to Otterbox so I am planning to stick with plastic film for now.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I got my OtterBox Defender (Pro Black - I would've preferred non-Pro Blue) from Verizon even though I'm not on that carrier, as another forum user indicated. OtterBox Defender Series Pro Case for Pixel 6

Cheaper than the manufacturer's site (and they're still showing out of stock on all of the Defender cases for the P6P anyway) and cheaper than anywhere else, and looks to be in stock at Verizon (might've been out of stock a few days ago). I received mine 3 days before I received my phone, got it on there now. Love it. I had ordered a Spigen variety from Amazon but never used it and I returned it and already got my refund, along with some screen protectors others had tested and the fingerprint reader didn't work with.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bosox284:
I'm using the Supershieldz film. It's okay. Does the job as far as protection goes, bubbles dissipated after a day. I'm having issues with the fingerprint sensor though and I don't know if that's just the optical sensor being finicky or the screen protector making it harder to read.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] shriekyphantom:
Thanks for the information. I am in Asia so can't order in US sellers. It seems that local network provider doesn't offer Otterbox. Also, checked the Google Store website of the country I am currently at, the Otterbox case is not listed there.

Have you both tried re-registering your prints after putting the screen protector?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kurdes:
Got this from Amazon, Fingerprint working flawlessly!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] shriekyphantom:
Thanks. I just searched and unfortunately, that isn't available in Amazon in the country I am at.

How was it by the way? Does it cover the whole screen up to the end of the curved edges?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Oops, oh well.

My wife and I haven't put screen protectors on ours yet.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kurdes:
Yes, it covers the whole screen and was very easy to apply with the usb-c fixation part...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ridobe:
I have this one. Whew I had at least a dozen bubbles after two attempts. But over 3 days, they all disappeared and I'm quite pleased. As of now, my fingerprint reader is doing better than at any other time so far. It actually seems much snappier.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] shriekyphantom:
Have you tried re-registering your prints after applying the screen protector?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bosox284:
Tens of times. It's awful. I bought another brand on Amazon so we'll see if it's any different. I never tested out the sensor without a protector on, so I'm going to be testing that as well in between
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] shriekyphantom:
Alright, will be waiting for your review.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bosox284:
I bought a 2-pack Armorsuit screen protector off Amazon which is a wet application. Unfortunately it mysteriously disappeared from the listings. I would highly recommend it if it comes back on, I'm way happier.

Fingerprint worked maybe 1/5 times with Supershieldz, now it works 9/10 times after just 15 minutes of application. I'm going to re-register my fingers tomorrow once it has time to settle but I'm impressed so far with this one.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] PieceofSlice:
I ordered those and they were delivered and apparently returned to sender (Amazon) smh. I ordered them again and noticed the same thing. There's just a green spray bottle as the photo now
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] shriekyphantom:

Trying the Brotec flex for both front screen and camera. Camera section was a little tough to put on and front screen has some bubbles, sadly not that case friendly, corners lift up!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] thetonyclifton:
I am using Spigen Neo Flex. Bought as place holder. Actually decent. Wet application, goes on cloudy dries clear. Only slight orange peel effect at acute angle. Not all the way to the edge but goes around the curve. Would buy again.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] AlkaliV2:
I bought the Armorsuit case friendly version for the Pixel 6 Pro (You can order directly from their website instead of Amazon; two day shipping via USPS) and there were no issues with my fingerprint at all. Due to getting something under my Armorsuit I ordered IQ Shield as well from Amazon and it too has been flawless with the fingerprint reader. So I definitely recommend both Armorsuit and IQ Shield as wet installs. Watch the video if you've never installed one before though.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bosox284:
Did you notice either one being more clear? I feel like the Armorshield adds a grainy effect. I'm a little disappointed with that but super happy with the fingerprint sensor
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] AlkaliV2:
Between the two? I like IQ Shield a little better overall (it is on my device now) but I think the feel was a little better on the Armorsuit. I have my replacement Armorsuit on its way already and plan to put it on again to test since I loved it on my OnePlus 7 Pro. For clarity...basically a toss up if installed correctly based on installing both at this point. For day to day use I notice my IQ Shield less on the glass aside from feel.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] shriekyphantom:

I had the screen protector for more then a year on my op8Pro and it never lifted anywhere. Now for 2 weeks on my pixel 6 pro and no lifting either. They are soft but that's no problem for me..

Thanks for this detailed post on flashing with Heimdall. I experienced the exact problem that you mention concerning a LineageOS update breaking my mobile data (Internet). I would believe it to be the same update due to the time frame and symptoms. Everything else worked fine after the update that broke mobile data. The phone is similar to yours, but not identical. It is a Galaxy S5 G900V, using Verizon.

My first attempt with your steps failed on flashing the SYSTEM partition. I found that all of the converted .RAW images were failing. I tested just flashing the original .EXT4 files and they uploaded successfully.

After initially booting it up and going through the stock setup (connect to wireless, Google account setup, etc.), everything seemed to work OK. Unfortunately, after turning off the wireless, my mobile data (Internet browsing etc.) again failed. I did find that with the wireless turned off, the MMS messaging still works. I do not think this worked without wireless the last time I attempted to flash it back to stock.

I have been working with a few people to get this back to stock on this post if you are interested:

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-official-lineageos-16-x-all-variants.3850840/page-163

Were you able to get your G900F to work with mobile data without wifi after reverting to stock?

I have also been updating an additional G900V with the latest over the air LineageOS updates to see if the mobile data issue gets fixed. So far it still fails as of the most recent one released.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I hope this is in the right place as I'm new to the forums.

I'm trying to help a friend recover her data off an SM-G975F that has a broken screen, no touch or display.

[Google Pixel 6] treIII:
Will it be possible to root an AT&t variant? The OEM unlocking is grayed out so that it cannot be switched, but I've seen instances in the past such as the Verizon model I had a few years ago but still possible to achieve root.
[Google Pixel 6] sic0048:
You need to have the service provider SIM card unlock the phone first. If you are on an installment/monthly payment plan it can be harder to convince the provider to unlock the phone, but it is possible. Once the phone is SIM card unlocked, the OEM Unlocking option will be available in settings.

Of course this is on a non-Verizon version. Usually the Verizon versions will have the OEM Unlocking option greyed out even if the phone is SIM card unlocked. (But there have been models that Verizon didn't OEM lock, so we really won't know for sure until we hear from some Verizon customers).

[Google Pixel 6] Vio281:
call their customer support, ask if the bootloader can be unlock once you paid off the phone, if thats the case I think you can root.

Downloaded Odin 3.14.4 from https://technastic.com/odin-download-samsung-latest-all-versions/ that came with cpprest141_2_10.dll but that also loaded with a link pointing to "mobilerndhub.sec.samsung.net/hub/site/odin/" per this post:

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] Ikarbb:
So I purchased a XZ1 G8343 which is meant for Canadian carriers, but also works in the US with T-Mobile. I have years of experience with my HTC M8, 10, and U11 with customs ROMs and they all work amazing with my SIM card.

What I have done is unlock the bootloader on the XZ1 and installed the latest CE1 firmware for the XZ1 and added the oem_X-FLASH-CUST-C93B file from the G8441 firmware to retain VoLTE and Wifi-Calling. This works to enable those features. T-Mobile considers this IMEI not compatible because of this, but flashing that G8441 files fixes it. The IMEI is clean.

My issue is this. The mobile data and sim network signals are extremely polarizing. When I'm in my apartment, it's completely weak and no networks are there. When I go outside on my balcony, great signal strength. I work as a delivery driver and gave this phone a test run . . . and it was BAD. I'd be losing signal almost everywhere and it reconnects randomly in other areas very close by. I don't see what would interfere with it so much, since this doesn't happen with any of my other devices. It seems way too sensitive.

This is weird because none of my HTC devices have these issues. I looked further into the specs and noticed the G8343 model is missing a few signal bands the G8341 model currently has. But it also supports more bands than my HTC U11 (unlocked) which gets network connection everywhere I need it.

Am I looking at a possible radio antenna hardware issue?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] uzziah0:
I have the G8343 also.

I live near Chicago and mostly have no issues with signal (LTE).

But, when I travel, many places I only get H+, or similar low signal connection.

Any ideas how to make this work better?

I have been looking at flashing other ROMs, but I cannot find any (particularly stock, like one for G8341) that say they improve the connection.

The CE1 is Central Europe, and I am not sure that would make the signal better.

I have not looked too much at the other ROMs, because I'd like to keep all the Google security stuff in place and not have to tinker with something like Magisk, which I had problems with on my previous phone.

Any help greatly appreciated!

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Itaintrite:
I don't know what I was expecting after reading all the reviews and user feedbacks regarding the 6 Pro size being too big. I'm "upgrading" from a Note 20 Ultra haha. This phone feels way slicker and lighter.

And as I mentioned in another thread, my thumb's fingerprint is shot. So this optical reader is actually faster and more reliable than the one on my Note 20 Ultra. Imagine that.

Overall, very happy with the phone. Haven't tried the camera yet, but can't be that bad.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] biggiestuff:
I'm coming from a 4xl and the reviews had me worried about the slow fingerprint reader. It's not as bad as the reviews state. It's probably slower but it's not a deal breaker. I'm not pulling my hair out by any means. I read reviews that the screen has to be awake for it to work but it seems to work fine when AOD is activated. I do miss the face ID unlock. I still think it's faster. I prefer in this order. Physical backside fingerprint, power button fingerprint, face ID, OPTICAL FINGERPRINT.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] paysen:
I don't care about the fingerprint reader but it is def not small and light. My Oneplus 9 Pro was smaller and the camera bump is less pronounced - I could easily use it with one hand. But I promised my GF to give it to her Birthday so I gotta stick to the P6P now. I would prefer the Pixel 6 size tbh, but somehow companies won't give us top notch hardware in a smaller phone.

The P6P is a great phone as well, just the size is a bit too much for me.
