[Touch HD General] MHoefler:
Hi!

I received my Touch HD on friday (German version) and I was initially very happy with it (no dead pixels, etc.) However, after playing around with it, synchronizing with the PC, etc., it started acting stranegly somtimes: the volume screen would come up without any apparent reason, it was not responsive, and so on.

Finally I discovered, that the "volume down" button is defective: sometimes it's not working at all and sometimes it's stuck at the pressed state, which, of course, renders the device unusable. Removing and reseating the battery cover did not help, neither did a hard reset (which was only possible via software, because the combination vol up + vol down + power doesn't seem to work either).

Obviously, my device is defective. Great... so time to get a replacement - after only 2 days! Nice build quality - congratulations HTC!

Regards!

I have not this problem ....

[Touch HD General] buggybug0:
judging the entire assembly line/company based on one device is naive. if you disagree, you can try to find me a company makes products of this sophistication (cars, electronics, whatever) that has 100% quality.

one suggestion is to do a hard reset (volumn up and down button pressed simultaneously, when reset msg comes up, press volumn up). and use it for a couple days before you install or modify any settings. then you will know if it's the device or a crappy program that messed up your phone.
[Touch HD General] MHoefler:
Hard reset doesn't work on my device - probably because the volume down key doesn't work? There is, however, a way to trigger a hard reset per software, which I did. The problem still exists unfortunately. So it's definitely a hardware problem. The device has just 3 buttons and already one of them doesn't work - I would call that disappointing...

Strange thing is, that sometimes it works normally and I was hoping the problem just went away. But suddenly, the button is stuck again or doesn't work. I've sent the phone back to the dealer and I'm asking my money back. I don't want to risk that it's beeing sent in for repair which could take weeks and maybe they don't even fix the problem...

Regards!
[Touch HD General] buggybug0:
i am not sure if the software-triggered reset is a true hard reset or it's just a merely storage erase. may be it is. but i dont' know.

in anycase, yes it is disappointing, can you do an exchange with the vendor? that may be the best route and simplest for now, rather than risking it to fix it yourself.

Sim card not working on evox when ading sd card to the mix it restarts the phone giving system errors on rare occasions the sim starts giving signal now im just asking here is that some error on my part or just a rom bug next im trying out arrow i see your builds having alot of success because this device has very slim comunity doing stuff for it
[Sony Xperia 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] bobbyamarthaa:
edited : btw, u try to use sdcard as Adoptable?

this is not work cz we are use a stock based.

on EvoX, I didn't find any problems with the SD card and sim card.

both work fine, cz am using as daily till now.

if it just restarts when it's freshly turned on, I've also sometimes found it, it just seems to be overloaded on initial boot, and getting it OutOfMemorry (I saw memory usage go up to 100% the first time it boots up)

however I was able to fix that with a little tweak.

I have noticed a difference when playing genshin impact, especially after long periods of gaming, but I have a question is it okay to have this installed even when not gaming? will the device heat?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Star56IQ:
I have used it for daily uses i didnt notice that much of heat but ithink it needs more test since iam the only one who used it until now.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Lil_Boudy:
aaah okay, I am using it now didn't remove the module, and I noticed temperatures are a bit higher in FKM, nothing big when it comes to feeling heat...

Anyways thank you for this great module, it's working great!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Lil_Boudy:
results are great, but I realized that it only disables thermal throttle, so stability is better...

I was wondering if we can get better scores.

im playing pubg with lots of framedrop . is this module will fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] AmirulAndalib:
the thing is that its not been updated since dec 2022, so it will not work properly on newer versions..
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lawong:
has you tested it in the newer firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] AmirulAndalib:
No I dont see any valid reason for testing this module, game mode and maximum performance does it all for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lawong:
what game did you play? i tried pubg and the frame drop are so much. had to disable all the game service to make it better , but still got some frame drop.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] AmirulAndalib:
I had played both pubg, new state and call of duty mobile, I dont experience any issues like you are mentioning and like I said beforehand, I am not using this module or any module to improve performance, The only thing I am using is some build.props mod and a stock modded rom called Beyond Rom, My device is S21U and SOC is Exynos2100.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lawong:
allright noted , currently im on stock firmware, maybe thats the reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] AmirulAndalib:
no stock firmware should have no such problem like that either. Maybe you are using old firmware or too much apps in the background or something. Try resetting your phone and see if the issue persists. It can be for malicious apps running in the background which are decreasing your performance.

[Touch HD General] MHoefler:
Hi!

I've noticed that the soft case, or rather pouch, that comes with the phone is way too small! I couldn't put it in easily - I would have to force it in, which I didn't try, of course.

Has anybody else experienced the same, or is it just my device (German version, purchased in Austria)?

Regards!
[Touch HD General] esackbauer:
I have the same version as you.

It is rather small, but after some attempts I managed to get it out and in. It should not be too loose.

However this "Handysocke" is nothing for me. I will buy a horizontal leather pouch on ebay.
[Touch HD General] kevwright:
Mine (UK) is perfect.

Kev
[Touch HD General] indup:
yep pouch is small and the top of the phone keeps sliding out.

quite frankly its a disgrace that they give you this cheap rubbish excuse for a case for such a high quality device and at this price.
[Touch HD General] Acelister:
I agree, it's not the right size. It's not too small, but it feels like it. And if you put it in back-first, when you take it out it removes the stylus!
[Touch HD General] kao123:
When I got my TYTNII I was delighted with the carry case that came in the box with it, but when I saw the "sock" that came with my HD i was less than impressed, seems to have been an after thought by HTC, the only thing this case is good for is cleaning fingerprints off the HD !

[General Questions and Answers] KONR4D:
So ive been unfortunate so i cannot get A12 on my Xperia 1(J9110). But on dev.sony there is a compile guide for 12. I tought i will compile it from there.

But it cant be "that easy", i suppose it will have bugs that i need to fix but the last language i used was html in high school(yea yea get on with it).

My question is: if i compile it for myself can i use it as out-of-the-box or do i have to fix stuff or its an useless idea?
[General Questions and Answers] RVR:
You would need to check if your device is listed in the devices.xml. If it is listed, there is a possibility that Sony has been updating the device tree, kernel and vendor blobs for android 12 and you could try compiling.

If it's not there, you won't be able to compile at all for your device without making a device tree, extracting vendor blobs and finding the right kernel for android 12, which would take a lot of work.
[General Questions and Answers] KONR4D:
Griffin is there which means there is a chance. Still, can i use it out-of-the-box?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] SavXL:
This is the first time I've needed to do something like this, so I'm a little confused. I've downloaded the latest firmware update for the Tab S8+ and have patched the AP file with Magisk. However, I'm not sure what to do in order to keep all of my data after flashing it. Is there something I need to change to make this happen? We don't have TWRP yet, so I want to be extra careful in doing this, so I won't have to painstakingly reinstall and reconfigure everything all over again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] roirraW "edor" ehT:
From my understanding of this post's step 3, sub-step 9:

Whereas the first time you root you'd use CSC, which would wipe the device. HOME_CSC doesn't wipe the device. I'd go as far as deleting or moving the normal CSC file so that there's less chance you'll accidentally flash it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] emko7:
Did you have any luck with it? I had successfully rooted with a magisk patched AP. Then I tried to flash an updated firmware, where I also magisk patched the AP file, and I also flashed the HOME_CSC because I wanted to keep my data. This however has somehow resulted in a soft brick. Reflashing to the previous firmware is also not possible as the bootloader had updated from U1 to U2.

Now it seems like my only way out seems to be to reflash the stock AP. Any idea if this would wipe my internalSD?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Strange. I've updated twice (after already being rooted) with no issue so far (following the steps here closely). Had you disabled (and updated) any Magisk Modules you had installed before updating, in case there were compatibility issues?

As far as I'm aware, flashing any AP file will not wipe your internal storage, and only flashing the (non-home) CSC will wipe your internal storage. The answer to that question might also depend on what is actually the issue that caused your soft brick if it wasn't just some weird fluke.

Edit: @SavXL answered this question better here. (I was mistaken)

Good luck to you, I hope you salvage your information. I still haven't done this, but I plan on using SyncThing to sync my internal storage with my computer once a day when it's on Wi-Fi. I use Google Photos for pictures and video, but just for anything else, I'd like the extra backup. Of course, I use Swift Backup also, although I back up to the cloud only so it doesn't take up any internal storage space, nor abuse my Micro SD card with heavy file writing.
