soooo true! People go through phones like spouses it seems. And how it supposedly represents a status of wealth is just disgusting and laughable (if those 2 things could ever go together..lol). My HTC m8. I had for just over 7 years! **7**. I hope I get 5+ out of my 4a5g I got in Nov 2021. I will NEVER ever spend that kind of money on a phone (800+). I actually broke my rule of never paying for a phone that costs over $200 when I paid around $450 for a new sealed box unit from someone who didn't want it (tax free yay). That money can go to more important things like gas and/or weed haha.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] mjedle:
I have problem with load system. I unlocked bootloader on my xiaomi Mido. I installed lineageos 18.1 and gapss, all was fine. SoI lock bootloader with command 'bootloader oem lock' it take some times and message was ok. Now I have a problem, I cannot start me phone. I see only a few second logo 'mi' and device turn off. I cannot enable developers tools in mobile and send twrp via fastboot. I tried some manuals for example

but it not working.

Can you help me please?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] NOSS8:
You can't lock the bootloader with a custom rom.

Try https://spflashtool.com/
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] mjedle:
Hi, I tried it but nothing happened. I think that I have Snapdragon chipset and spflashtool is working only on MTK.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] NOSS8:
Ok but then why use an unlock tool for Mediatek?

Can you enter in fastboot mode?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] mjedle:
Hi, I found solutions. I download miflash_unlock and logged ind to xiaomi account and it allowed unlock bootloader.

Thank you for your time and help.
[XPERIA X1 General] andyboo:
Hello my fellow Xperia lovers......and some haters! lol

Simple question....is there a way to remove a program upon a soft reset? I ask this because, i uninstalled the Inhand catolog thing, and when i do a soft reset, it comes up that the program InHandGo.exe could not be found and did not start up....which i don't really care, but i dont want to see that message every time i need to do a soft reset ><. So is there a way to either get rid of that message when soft reset is done, or just some how, fully and cleanly remove that program? I dont really see the point in having it....
[XPERIA X1 General] apprentice:
The shortcut to InHandGo.exe remains in the startup folder after an uninstall. Just remove this shortcut and you won't get that error message again.
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
yup just remove that shortcut in \Windows\Startup and you are good to go!

That's also the program I have uninstalled first thing. Useless piece of crap!
[XPERIA X1 General] andyboo:
How do i get into the \windows\ startup sorry? Im pretty much lost at this point...

EDIT:No wait....sorry....lol i figured it out...
[XPERIA X1 General] twosix:
Use the file explorer and go to \my device\windows\startup. It is just so simple!
[XPERIA X1 General] liege168:
Interestingly, I'm still experiencing the same behavior after I "uninstalled" that app and yet, when I went and check the Startup directory, there was no entry to In HandUpdater.

The error message I'm getting is "The file 'InHandUpdater' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."

What am I doing wrong? Seeing the startup sequence halted because of this makes me want to go back and reinstall the darn thing - just so that I no longer see it.

Please advise. Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ves:
Have you tried installing the application again and then uninstalling. And then you have this program. Cleartemp is the name. It might help with cleaning all stuff left behind.
[XPERIA X1 General] theone01:
Same problem here :-(.

There is no shortcut for it in \windows\ startup and the message still comes up whenever I do restart the device!

How to re-install it?
[XPERIA X1 General] theone01:
OK, I reinstalled it and the message disappeared ;-)

To install go to "My Device/Program files/Handango Inhand/catalog" and run the file "inhand.cab"
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] NYFan:
Hey guys,

So I have been using OxygenOS12 for months on my 8T KB2005 (Global). It was draining my battery by lunch and was terrible to look at so I finally downgraded back to OS11 and everything is working great again. My only concern is my phone is currently on the January 2021 patch. I have the OxygenOSupdater app but that only wants to upgrade me to OS12 again. Anyway I can just get the May 2022 security patch and sideload it? Does anyone know where I could find a zip of that?

Thanks
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] jabe78:
I know this isn't what you're asking about, but for information sake. I too have same setup. 8T on oxygen OS12 for over a month now. My battery has been great, not looking back to 11 at all. Perhaps something else was causing battery drain?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] NYFan:
yeah not looking to go back to 12. Honestly I am always all about the newest Android system but OxygenOS12 was the ugliest most dysfunctional version of Android I have ever used on a OnePlus device. I am going to use 11 until 13 comes out and I am hoping OP can correct what they did wrong otherwise I'm getting a Pixel or Samsung in the fall.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Rootk1t:
No. System level security patch will stay on Jan in your case.

Google play security patches will update.

So it's possible to have ROM January security patch and GPlay July.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] NYFan:
I understand that Google Play will update etc... but OP released a May 2022 security update for OS11 so there has to be a way to upgrade it to that even if I have to do it unconventionally.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Rootk1t:
Where did you find information that OP released May update to OOS11?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] NYFan:
My wife has the same phone but never upgraded to OS12, she has the proper security patch. If you Google it you will also find it listed but not downloadable.

device and kernel source ?

@alvin14

​
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ulyaoth:
Can someone who's tested this post a couple of screenshots of any special settings this might have over stock? I mostly want to compare those against DerpFest that was released a couple of days ago and to avoid flashing again since we don't have a way to backup and restore a rom at this point. Unless - could Slot B be used to dual boot two different roms?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] phaino00:
Currently, you cannot dual boot multiple roms. I remember with OP6T, there was a guy/gal that provided us with a recovery that allowed dual boot for two different roms. It was a wip, but functioned pretty well. Can't recall the Dev's name.

Concerning screenshots of custom settings, I'm sure it's similar to other Pixel Experience roms for other devices. I can't provide any, because I'm not using this particular custom rom at the moment.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Badger50:
@alvin14 Please check your PM inbox. Thank you.

-Regards: Badger50
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dragynbane222:
@alvin14, to sideload you'll need to provide both the boot.img and vendor_boot.img, otherwise we can't use adb sideload since stock recovery will reject it and it's looking pretty unlikely we'll get twrp anytime soon. For those of us who are technically minded, grabbing the 2 .img files I mentioned isn't too hard, but I'm guessing there's some who likely can't.

Also, you might want to provide your kernel source as per XDA rules like the mod has likely PMed you about. This thread will likely get removed/locked and your links taken down if you don't.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] alvin14:
Sorry, have not done this since the S4. Kernel source added, forked from PE-Raven. Other files added as well. Not much options added to pixel experience, I personally prefer stock android which i did some development on about 8 years ago. Just light modifications added, very stable.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dragynbane222:
For the vendor_boot.img to even boot recovery, you need the boot.img from your build as well. Stock boot.img won't work in almost all cases of custom roms.

Appreciate the work, and newer devices are kind of a pain to know what to do. So I feel ya there.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] alvin14:
Boot not needed. After flashing vendor_boot via fastboot you can select boot bootloader and it goes straight in. Magisk Boot is also provided should anyone still need the boot image.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] alvin14:
Isn't most things backed up online lately? Before every custom ROM flash, backup your data to Google & restore after flash. Don't really use much apps however I would believe they all offer online backup via Google. Signing back into everything should be a breeze since your passwords are also backed up wether to Google or whichever backup app used for that with auto sign in activated.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ulyaoth:
Yeah but there's still things that are either not backed up or not restored. For example call logs and device settings are backed up but they've never successfully restored on any of my devices. Then there are things like the pixel launcher home screen layout, signing in to apps, setting my ringtone etc., setting up a multilingual keyboard and so on. The ideal scenario for me is to be able to switch roms without wiping data, but I need to have a backup fallback or else it's going to take me hours of tweaking and setting management to be comfy(not to mention any ROM-specific settings that have crazy amounts of time-consuming customizations)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NippleSauce:
I had to comment here because this is both true and not true. The backups seem to work, however, they usually don't restore ALL of said data when you restore from a backup onto a wiped phone. Oddly enough, when I wiped my phone yesterday and updated to the final Android 13 beta build (A13B4.1), I was able to restore my data and it kept all of my settings intact... So, not only did I get all of my apps back (and put onto the home screen in the correct locations), but I also got my home screen wallpaper set again; I got my QS tile's arranged how I had previously customized them and I got my other settings restored to how they were...

I'm not entirely sure why this occured, however, with a few past beta updates I had lost all of the settings that I had mentioned... I would usually only get my apps restored (without them being placed on the home screen at all)...

One thing to note is that I happened to do this update differently than a bunch of my previous updates. I did this update manually over adb instead of using the Android Flash Tool site. Of course, take this with a grain of salt as I'm not entirely sure if this is what made my backup restore yesterday so perfect. But my only thought is that by doing the update manually, you won't be missing out on any of the fastboot commands that may be dismissed via the Android Flash Tool 🤷‍♀️

Awesome contribution! For all you give to the community i would like to buy you both lunch!

What is it exactly that trolls eat by the way? :ROFLMAO::cool:
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TheSayaMan:
I recommend Swift Backup. I've been using it for quite awhile and it backs up everything!! Call logs, messages, apps and their data. You can backup to the device and transfer to pc for safe keeping or you can even have the option to backup and restore from the cloud. You can also do what I do and get a OTG cable and backup and restore right from that which is much faster.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rhetorician:
Got this installed last night and after playing around, set it up to look indistinguishable from stock. Gpay works right out of the box along with wifi calling. Thanks for sharing this with us.

One concern I have is that I was unable to restore my backup messages data. According to Google, this happens when downgrading; one cannot recover a backup from a higher version of Android. I was on stock before, which was 12.X (can't remember), so it looks like I'm out of luck in that department. I should have used a third party app to backup those messages in hindsight. Nonetheless, does anyone know of a way I can get that data back into my phone? Backups are stored in Drive, so I thought maybe there could be a way.

What carrier do you have? I have Verizon and I use the Verizon messages app that automatically restores them. I also use the Swift Backup app to backup to cloud just in case. I couldn't figure out how to restore them from drive, I'm sure there's a way but I have no idea.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rhetorician:
I was referring to the app included in the ROM, not the concept of the protocol. The title of the app is what I was referencing, which appears to be a portal to access and modify one's settings.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rhetorician:
T-Mobile. Google automatically backs up our data, though, assuming you have the feature on, and I can my backup there but wasn't able to access it. I switched to another ROM, however, and was prompted with the opportunity to restore. Unfortunately, that too didn't work so I'm thinking there's an issue with the backup. I'm wondering if compromised it when I cleared my Google Play services data.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rhetorician:
Dear OP, just following up on the Rcs settings app. Also, it seems that status bar battery percentage display was accidentally left out of the settings app--can you confirm, please?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overlock_Machine:
Hi all, I am trying develop an app to show currently playing media's metadata on a TextView. I will connect two Android devices via Bluetooth (my phone and a tablet). The tablet will run my app and the phone will play music. The app will show the song title and the artist information (independent from the media player app e.g. Spotify, YouTube Music etc.) on their respective "TextView"s. At this point, I am just trying to acquire and show the media metadata on my phone. I tried MediaSessionController and NotificationListener so far but I couldn't achieve my goal. How can I get the media metadata? Also, I plan to move on to the Bluetooth part after acquiring the song title. Is this approach logical? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

(I am very sorry for my bad English)

Hello, my friend will be giving me his old A7 (2017) [A720F/DS] to me around next week. He informed me that the Sim#1 slot is carrier locked while the 2nd slot isn't.

I am already planning to root and install a custom rom (Lineage OS) once it arrives since the last major and security update was no longer active since last year.

I try scouring on the internet for answers but I have no luck -- I would to ask if there's for me to worry about doing these process considering that the phone has a carrier lock? Or it is deemed impossible due to the same reason?

Thank you very much in advance!

In a last-ditch attempt to get one garanteed delivery before the weekend, I ordered two xperia's, one from the UK and one from a US reseller (selling european X1i's nonetheless).

My question is this: my 3g band isn't supported (rogers) and I was wondering if the US version will use the same radio chip and what are the possibilities of getting an update which will enable this additional band (US1?)?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 General] apprentice:
Read this a couple of times, was a tad confused!

Are you in the UK or US ?

Which version of the X1 does not have 3G? or are you saying you don't get 3G signal where you are?

Who is Roger?
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
Answered several times already. The X1i does not have 850MHz UMTS. No one has managed to get a radio ROM on any HTC device to bring over the UMTS frequencies.

If you want it to work on 850 you'll need the X1a
[XPERIA X1 General] tg989:
so x1a rom on an x1i will not work to enable UMTS 850?? are there any links to x1a roms? I thought it wasn't even released yet...

Had this same problem with an omnia AND an n96 now its starting to get to me with the xperia since I really wanted this phone ;\
[XPERIA X1 General] fhsieh:
The OS rom has nothing to with the radio. It may add some options to radio settings, but it does not change the radio itself. The only practical difference is it may or may not make WM faster.

You can flash an X1a radio rom onto an X1i, but it still will not enable UMTS 850. The two radios are physically different (whether it's the microcode or the whole chip), and cannot be changed via software/rom flash. So many people have been trying with the Diamond, Raphael, etc, all unsuccessful; no reason to believe it will be any different with the X1. The only practical difference is it may or may not improve battery life and/or reception.

The X1a is the only one with a UMTS 850-capable radio chip, so if you need UMTS 850 your only option is the X1a.
[XPERIA X1 General] tg989:
Ok, so its a different radio chip... I remember the omnia i900 and i907 had identical radio chips as per specs but the former had the 850 disabled. Was hoping sony made the hardware identical and only differed on the radio rom.

Thanks for clearing it up :)

Anybody want two xperias? :)
[XPERIA X1 General] fhsieh:
I'd like a black X1i, but only if I can find someone willing to buy my TPro :(
