[General Questions and Answers] Granabo:
Hi all,

I was trying to move my settings from one phone to another but being unable to change the name of the SD card that breaks file and folder related data.

Searching around I found that since Android 6 it's not possible, but must be a easy way.

I think it's also a privacy issue as apps with storage access can identity the SD card name as an ID with the same pool as IP4 addresses.

Do you know of solutions or workarounds?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] hgreen70:
I made an attempt to what I thought was an upgrade to my x7501, i have wm6 i wamt 6.1. I ran the unlocker oilpro and the phone seemed fine, then I rebooted the device. I never noticed any thing other than a program that installed on the phone. The oilpro never completed. Now I can not start the device. it seems like i have no power. I have $300 to the person who can fix it this week. I live in washington dc and I need this phone fixed. my email is zeke281@gmail.com no bull ****ters please, I dont have time. there is no 3 color bars etc...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] will_990:
Hi,

After using athena_unlocker, my X7500 also ran black after reboot without any loading screen, but since the x7501 is now supported by athena_unlocker (I presume you've downloaded the latest version at XDA), it should be possible to re-update a x7501 ROM.

You should at first try to download the original HTC x7501 ROM and re-update your device:

http://download.america.htc.com/RUU_Athena_HTC_US_2.19.453.4_105_1.47.51.00_Ship.exe

or one of those ROMs at xda (which are for x7500, though)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=314672 ; reply#4, I used T-MOB005 - version with spl,ipl and etc

- press power on button on the x7501 for at least 3 secs even if you can't see a thing

- connect x7501 with USB and make sure that ActiveSync is running (of course, it won't connect!)

- start ROMUpdateUtility.exe from the downloaded ROM-version (you must have administrator rights)

In case the ROMupdateutility doesn't find the x7501 (connection error, still black scren), try the following:

- press the camera button on the right, hold it and press reset button for some time - the boot loader screen (Olinex v1.20 in your case) should appear, then you can proceed with the original ROM re-update.

- accept all warnings and update, with me, it did connect and updated the ROM since the SPL had already been installed by the unlocker before (just no ROM => black screen)

Afterwards, my device at least started again so I could finish the unlocking process, it finally worked.

I can only tell that it worked for me 2 times, first original ROM => Olinex SPL1.2 => Athena AP4.0/Olinex SPL3.5, in both cases the same black screen occured (however, the bootloader is already installed on the device, so an update will work). It seems that the boot loader has some problems to upload the ROM itself, so only the new boot-loader version is on the device, you have to upload the ROM separately...just give it a try. :-)

Regards,

Will_990

Remove sim and SD card

Remove battery for few mins then replace battery(sometimes it doesn't seat properly)

Plug in the mains charger and see if the charging light comes on.

If so try to boot into bootloader.

If you see the tricolor screen, connect to the computers usb port and run the original rom from the links above.

Good luck

I bought a Samsung S10+ mobile phone from a Hong Kong store.SM-G9750. Now the warranty period of this phone has ended, so I unlocked BootLoader. But I found that the Lineage system only supports the use of Orion CPU. And my CPU is Qualcomm 855,.

Is there any other clean and fast flashing package recommended?

Hi can someone tell me if it is possible to flash the unlocked version of the firmwire on the MetroPCS A52 to get rid of all the carrier bloat? The phone is not unlocked so want to make sure doing so wont take away the ability to automatically unlock it after 6 months!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] pelim:
To sync health data from the watch to the Samsung account over the cloud, the watch seems to need to connect to the phone by bluetooth, then it's the phone that syncs to the Samsung account. Is there a way to have the watch sync health data directly to the cloud via wifi, without needing the phone nearby?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Fousekis7:
Have you enabled remote connection?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] galaxys:
Would like to know if you get it to sync...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] pelim:
Remote connection is enabled. I am able to change some watch settings through the Galaxy Wearable app in my phone over wifi (remotely).

However, Samsung Health is not updating watch heath data remotely, such as the number of steps, o2 level, hr, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Fousekis7:
I think you are right, the watch needs to be connected via BT. Probably because in contrast to other platform, Samsung Health is "offline" with the ability to back up on the cloud. Why would you need to sync data to the cloud directly though?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] pelim:
I use the watch to monitor my elderly dad's health. Although he has a phone, he doesn't really bring his phone around with him when he is at home (he's not tech savvy). I want to ideally be able to check his heart rate, o2 levels, etc., at any given time, as he has arrythmia and heart failure. Thus, it would be quite helpful if I can read the health data from his watch in real-time, even if I'm not beside him.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Fousekis7:
Could Google Fit or a third party app like Cardiograph help you achieve this?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] brwd09:
Did you find a solution for this? I want to do exactly the same for my mother-in-law. She does not remember to take her phone with her. So we want the watch to synch health data without a bluetooth connection to the phone. And we want to be able to share her health data with my wife. I have not been able to come up with a way to do this. Were you able to make this work?

Hi i have owned Lte galaxy watches then Lte galaxy watch 3 models and now the watch 4 Lte

my post is to comment on watch 4 overheating when connected via gsm networks ....in strong signal areas the watch does not seem to get hot and overheat.

.but if i move to a weaker signal area the watch overheats .....by switching from 3g/4g mode to just 3g tge watch no longer overheats and the data connection is still fast enough to.be useable .......if you are suffering from hot watch syndrome try settingx/connections/mobilenetworks/networkmode/3g only ...it may help
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] galaxys:
Yep, 3G only can cool 😎 the watch ⌚ sometimes. Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Alfiedog:
More info on GW4 CLASSIC IN 42 and 46mm both with Lte which overheat in poor signal areas or long 4g / 3g voice calls

Well i bought a 4g classic in 42 and one in 46 mm back when they were first available in August 2021.

Both worked fine but if i used an esim in a weak signal area the watch got hot within 2 minutes and shut down as it was on full transmit power over 4g mobile network.

The battery would drop massive amounts in a short time and the watches would give up and overheat....

So i made notes of the furmware ...photographed the inside of both ...filled out a return and sent them both back for repair as this is an issue much reported on the net..

So git them both back and looked at the firmware version ...and looked inside ...

Hmmm well it looks like Samsung know how to fix tge fault with a new redesigned rear cover and a firmware

Update

So as Samsung are quiet about the issue i would recomend that even if you can live with a hot wrist ...you

FILL OUT A SAMSUNG REPAIR / RETURN FORM ONLINE then your pride and joy watch can be collected and samsung can upgrade the thermal heat sink design and reduce the max tx power the watch uses to reduce tge overheating.

I now dont get thermal shutdowns on any of my watches but lte enabled does reduce battery time by about 50 percent

So my advice return to samsung before the warantee expires

Note.. this is just lte models ......bluetooth only models i do not own
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Alfiedog:
Ok GW4 42mm classic Lte only no bt wifi gps etc

In a permenant data trandfer to keep link over 4g up is achieving 5hours 35mins from 100percent charge to flat.no iverheating

The 46mm version is getting an extra 2 hours of call over lte as the battery is larger capacity again no overheating.

This should be a worst case as i selected the weakest signal strength location to force the watch to use a higher tx power output

If i disable 4g/lte network connection and use just bluetooth only at 30 feet to the phone its linked to i get

42mm classic watch 4 one day 19hours

46mm classic watch 4 about two days

This shows how much power 4g /3g enabled watches use ....

My old original samsung watch r805f as the battery was larger could manage 3 days

Note ...my tests are with a data transfer taking place all the time to simulate a link to a watch and were done so see if i could cook the watch overheat if after a repair return from Samsung

In a real world with some bt some lte some wifi not sure what yiu may get ...?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Alfiedog:
The point i am trying to make....

When cell coverage is weak the phone increases its output power in an attempt to maintain a connection. A weak signal uses 10 times as much energy as the strongest signal, so it can drain a battery very fast if you are on a call, and it will still drain the battery when not on a call because the phone periodically reports its location to the network so an incoming call can find your phone. To further complicate things, if you periodically lose signal completely the phone sends a "where are you?" page to the network to reconnect. This is sent at full power. If there's no response it repeats the request periodically, with longer and longer waits between pages. However, if it reconnects and then loses the connection frequently, the pages are sent frequently without the longer waits, again draining the battery.

Incresed signal strength generates more heat so if in a low signal area turn off mobile networks to save battery which in a watch is small and it also reduces heat generated by the transmiter power curcuits
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Nickdroid86:
You claim to have pictures. Can you post them? Also can you show what you mean by redesigned rear cover? I have the 46mm LTE on Verizon and it overheats a lot.

Dear XDA Guru / Expert,

Good Day. I need help urgently here.

2015 i purchase Mi 4i mobile device and took many nice photo but forgot transfer out.

2021 last month i open this Mi 4i would like to download the file , unfortunately this device perform Auto upgrade.

Half way while auto upgrade , this mobile running out of battery.

After reopen , it keep appearing the Mi Logo.

I check many website mentioned i need perform FASTBOOT to Flash the ROM.

I checked also the bootloader is not lock.

However i did perform the Flash the ROM with lastest ROM / Factory ROM.

Please give me some advise what i should do in order for me can go back to normal ?

So that i can download the photo out from this mobile ?

Appreciate & welcome your reply.

Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Probably when you flashed the firmware through fastboot you have overwritten the files in there. As your bootloader is unlocked the better would be to flash a custom recovery on it and then pull all the files you want.
[General Questions and Answers] ak9999:
Hi SubwayChamp,

Good Day. Yea - i do agree your point of view, First of all thanks for your reply.

I flash my ROM previously on this device too , after complete the flash it working well.

Before i flash the ROM , the device perform auto upgrade but half way no battery & it force to shut down , after reopen it stuck at MI logo so without any choice i only choose to flash the ROM.

Actually i am not so expert on android ROM, by the way what is different between custom recovery vs those i got from XiaoMi official ROM ?

Mind tell me more on how to fix it please ?

Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
To know which direction to take, first we have to know how exactly you flashed the ROM you mentioned, which ROM was and through which tool.
[General Questions and Answers] ak9999:
Hi SubwayChamp,

Good Day. thanks for your reply.

I using official xiaomi - MiFlash as the tools to reflash the ROM.

ROM that i use - ferrari_global_images_6.7.5_20160523.0000.23_5.0_global

You may find attached Flash Log as reference.

Hope you can give me some good idea to resolve this issue.

Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I saw in your other thread flashing process took only 94s, if it is the case then it's not flashing properly.

From the three options that's above on the tool, don't remember to use only the option format data, not relock bootloader or try to keep your data. (picture of reference)

View attachment 5482635

And also in case you used fastboot to flash your device, I recommend you try through EDL mode
[General Questions and Answers] ak9999:
Hi SubwayChamp,

Thanks for prompt reply.

I think what you mentioned make sense - it's not flashing properly.

My Question

================

1) Related with Option to Flash

I am using save user data option at this moment.

But the option you suggest clean all & Lock will clear all my existing Picture or File from this mobile right?

2) Related your recommendation EDL mode

I don't think i able go others mode except Fastboot now because whenever my mobile open it's in Fastboot only.

Sorry to say actually study computing but i am newbie in all these , i don't even know what's EDL mode.

Thanks for your input.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Not the option Clean all & Lock because this will lead your hopes even far distant, a locked device with Qualcomm only can be flashed through EDL mode, fastboot mode will be impossible if you relock bootloader. I suggested using the option Format data because WHEN the flashing is successful one of the things that avoid the device to boot normally is the old data that it is still there. Anyway, this won't make difference while you don't get the tool to flash properly.

Some Xiaomi devices, while bootloader is unlocked can be sent to EDL mode using hardware buttons, with device off pressing the both volume buttons at exactly the same time you connect your device to PC, in case this method doesn't work you should need to use "the test point method" is a way slightly difficult to get it but... to flash through EDL mode you need to install the Qualcomm 9008 USB drivers https://www.thecustomdroid.com/qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-drivers/

And if you want to keep trying in fastboot mode, you could switch to other Mi Flash tool versions if it makes difference. Always is better to move all your firmware to the same directory where Mi Flash tool is, also avoid all the spaces in the path/name.

I don't know what black magic that guy has done to achieve that, since his trees are private (they are not on github) and I've tried contacting him 2-3 times. All I got was no response.
