[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technillion:
This is really bugging me but on occasion, when I slam the keyboard shut, the phone turns off. It also has happened when I opened the keyboard but only a few times.

I actually dissassembled the phone to see if maybe it was a loose connection somewhere. I did find that the keyboard ribbon cable was loosely connected so I reseated it firmly...but the problem didn't go away.

I also thought it may be either the SIMM card or the memory card contacts but after removing them, again, I still can reproduce the problem.

Understand that this is an intermittent problem and a little unpredictable but I can make it happen within a few tries. If I cautiously open and close the keyboard (without slamming it shut), I have no problems.

I don't believe it's software related because I can force it to happen when the device is booting up (with the Ericsson logo on the screen) before the OS loads.

Anyone else experiencing this?????

11/17/08 UPDATE: PROBLEM RESOLVED!

After further review and testing, it appears that the battery was losing connection to the battery contacts. I shoved a small crumb of paper folded up (about 1mm thick) at the back of the batt and the problem has gone away. Of course, I'm still holding my breath every time I open and close the keyboard but it looks like that may have been the problem. That's strange because I'm using the original battery. Thought this may help in case anyone else ever runs into this.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n4v1n:
That sounds like a problem with the internals, maybe a you should get it replaced/repaired?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotrod101:
Kid says to doctor " IT hurts when I twist my arm backward like this." Doctor replies "then don't do that"

You say "my phone shuts off when I slam my keyboard shut" Doctor says "don't slam your keyboard shut"

this thought just made me laugh.

Seriously though. It does sound like an internal hardware issue that you should have fixed otherwise it may just get worse and start happening more regularly and at very inconvenient times.

Good luck.

Reminds me of my samsung slider phone the day that it died. I was sliding it back and forth.. sometimes the screen would go completely white and then come back.

By the end of the day, it went white and stayed that way.

Turns out the cable on the inside was slowly being cut from rubbing against the metal hole it was going thru every time the slider moved.

You've checked the cables before... but maybe its not cut yet, but something on the slider mechanism is hitting a wire/pulling on it.

Nobody knows.

But we all do know thats not normal. So yea get it replaced.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technillion:
LOL!

That's funny!!!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technillion:
I think you're right...

Yep...It's going back. Might as well get a fresh one. I know this problem existed for other phones before and the fix was mostly something simple that didn't require a replacement.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lildogg:
im getting exactly the same problem. gonna send mine back as well.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxical:
i have the exact same problem too! Waiting for a new one...

i thought i was the only one with this problem, but it looks like a production error as there are already 3 people on this board who have this defect.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lildogg:
yep, my problem seems to have gone now as well by using you're method. i was almost ready to send it back and then i saw you're post and tried your method and it worked !
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nippero:
Thats a pretty stupid mistake by SE...

They should do a quick fix by making new batters a smidge thicker. Of course they probably wouldn't offer free replacements, but they should fix it anyway.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxical:
Where did you place the paper exactly ? On the back of the battery where all the info text is or on the bottom ?

When my device is cold, eg in the morning for first use, this sometimes doesnt happen for >20x tries...but when i used it for a longer time and it almost always shuts down when slammed shut..but i already thought it might be something with the battery, but sometimes while slamming it shut for numerous times even the battery cover would come up and it didnt shut down...then in another situation it shuts down immediatly
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technillion:
Poor design...

Yea...what I found with the design is that the ribbon cable connecting the keyboard sits right under the battery. In fact you can see the protrusion when you remove the battery under the white label. It moves when the keyboard is opened and closed. Slightly...but it does move.

...anyway...I folded a small piece of paper to wrap around the back edge of the battery.

Try this:

1. Make a small rectangular strip of paper about 10mm x 20mm and fold it the long way so you end up with a 5mm x 20mm piece.

2. Wrap it around the back/bottom edge of the battery as you reinsert it.

(If the battery fits more snug in its compartment, you got it right!)

3. Put the back cover back on--which should also be more snug.

4. Turn on the device and try it out (slam the keyboard).

(You don't have to wait for it to completely boot up...you can test it when the SE logo appears).

Be careful to use regular copy paper and not paper that's too thick as it may cause some other damage/problems with the device.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxical:
could you make a picture of that ?

Actually i will recieve a new device tomorrow, but i still have the feeling that this problem might reoccur as it seems to be a design flaw ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kar98:
I'm currently playing around with an old XV6800 I got off ebay, and this seems to have fixed the problem, so thanks :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkn00b:
I had the same problem too.. but it was linked with the flex cable. Now i just don't use my keyboard even after fixing it.

Hello, Can any smart person because I'm slow lol help me get the Recovery or the Boot.img for a Motorola Edge 2021, My version is 12 (S1RMS32.48-18-11-2-3). Thanks
[Motorola Edge (2021)] ruq:
You can download a factory image straight from Motorola themselves, using the Lenovo "Rescue and Smart Assistant" (Lenovo RSA).

I personally used this excellent guide from another user right on this very form, that also mentions grabbing the image(s).

[Motorola Edge (2021)] Imparel:
I understand that yes but my problem is that I don't have a laptop or PC to run the program so I'm trying to find another way to get the firmware for my Edge 2021, And if I can't do that is there any custom ROM compatible with this device that I could use to patch it with magisk?
[Motorola Edge (2021)] ruq:
So far I have not seen any custom ROMs supporting this device (I think it should come eventually; the last gen has support).

This post includes a download link for an up to date Android 11 ROM. I haven't used it yet though. I'm a little nervous about downloading ROMs from random links, but since I used the guide from the same user (last post you replied to), it feels trustworthy. But use at your own risk.

[Motorola Edge (2021)] ruq:
oh forgive me for forgetting to mention this...

but I'm 99% sure you REQUIRE a PC to flash images onto a phone, since you use the adb debug tool to manipulate the phone while it's in fastboot mode.
[Motorola Edge (2021)] Imparel:
I already solved that problem I use another phone to flash the images

[Motorola Edge (2021)] Imparel:
Okay I understand, I'll just take my chances and hopefully I don't brick my device...
[Motorola Edge (2021)] Imparel:
I did try it but instead of fully flashing the img I just did fastboot boot so that it would only boot into it one time and it didn't work at all so my only chance of rooting my device is using a PC to get the firmware of my phone, And thanks for the help.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] notTheAndroids:
Some background: I have been trying to refactor this Android app's Usb system. Initially, in order to transfer data between endpoints, they used the UsbDeviceConnection.bulkTransfer() method. I refactored it to use the UsbRequest.initialize(), UsbRequest.queue(), and then UsbDeviceConnection.requestWait() methods. When the Android program is booted on the tablet, my new methods work fine (perhaps even better), but when there is a USB disruption/disconnection from the external device, once reconnected, it won't pick up where it left off. However, their old method, UsbDeviceConnection.bulkTransfer() DOES pick up communication upon reconnect.

Original code (where it can reconnect) -

/*synchronized (usbConnection)*/

result = usbConnection.bulkTransfer(usbFromAggBoard, response, response.length, 25);

Refactored Code [UsbRequest/requestWait()] -

/*synchronized (usbConnection)*/

if (usbConnection != null) {

UsbRequest request = new UsbRequest();

ByteBuffer byteBuffer = ByteBuffer.wrap(response);

byteBuffer.rewind();

try {

request.initialize(usbConnection, usbFromAggBoard);

if (!request.queue(byteBuffer, response.length)) {

throw new IOException("Error queueing USB request.");

}

usbConnection.requestWait();

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

} finally {

if(usbConnection != null) {

result = request.hashCode();

request.close();

}

Any advice?

[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] gellep:
hi,

is there a way to enable taking pictures in b&w?

thanks!
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
No need. Post editing just kill the saturation. Gray scale is preserved.

Shooting it as a raw file will yield better results after post editing.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] gellep:
what do you mean " post editing"?

i just want to have the option to shoot in b&w in apps like _open camera_
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] a1291762:
The built in camera app doesn't do it. Lots of third party camera apps in the store do. Or you can use an image editor after taking a colour photo to make it black and white. Google Photos can remove saturation or use one of several filters.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] gellep:
that's the thing- even third party apps can not do it on this phone ! thats my problem which i am trying to solve..
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Snapseed can do it post editing. There are simpler tools if you just want to kill the saturation.

Being able to adjust the contrast curve be nice... When editing color images I normally kill the saturation to initially dial in the contrast curve using just the grey scale ie a b&w image, then dial up the saturation to the best level.

It's really not a big deal...

[General Questions and Answers] texasdbs:
I've been a lurker on xda for awhile. I'm trying to understand the different handling of NV modem parameters and policyman files on a Android 12 OnePlus 10 Pro vs a Android 11 OnePlus 9. I've managed on getting the Diag port open but any changes I make seem to revert back to cots settings after reboot on the OnePlus 10. On the OnePlus 9, reboot was required to take some changes into service. logcat points to a MBNTool service that is selecting the default MBN file and overwriting values.

I'm just looking for any information on what might be changing some of the efs /nv/item_files back to default values at boot. Specifically, /nvitem_files/mcfg/mcfg_autoselect_by_uim as well as the currently selected MBN to use.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
Ok - this is a weird one for my S22u SD so I'd appreciate some feedback. I use AccuBattery Pro to monitor my battery and pre-Jun update (AVF1) after every recharge cycle to 85% (protect battery option is enabled) AccuBattery would show estimated capacity between 4861-5015mAh. Except for one recharge cycle, I used the same recharger but estimated capacity was still very consistent after each session. Samsung advertises 4855mAh average actual capacity for the S22u's 5000mAh battery so all is good with my S22u so far.

I updated my S22u on 6/23 and after that the estimated capacity has been between 4394-4536mAh after each recharge! I noticed this immediately and started using a mixture of different rechargers (including Samsung rechargers) and they were all consistently lower. A couple of days ago I turned off the protect battery option and started to recharge to 100%. Still, the estimated capacity after each recharge was consistently ~500mAh lower than before the June update.

There has been no "event" whereas my S22u has overheated charging or not charging or anything else unusual that has happened other than the June uppdate. So why is my battery 500mAh lower in battery capacity (about 10%)?

Still scratching my head, today while recharging my phone I had a notification that my battery was 100% charged and I was only at 88% and still charging!! The notification was from the Android 12 system UI. The phone recharged to 100% successfully. Somethings not right!

I've attached my stats below for the 10 days prior and 10 days after the June update as per my Accubattery Pro. I would appreciate it if you have Accubattery to look into the history tab and check your estimated battery capacity for a few days before and after the June update to compare mine to. You can get to the capacity estimate via the History tab, scroll to a recharging session, touch that session which will take you to the Charging tab and then scroll down to the bottom of that screen.

Not sure if this is an issue with just my phone or it is a general issue.

PS - I have not experienced any loss of SOT to justify the 10% additional battery wear.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] linom:
Accubattery is cr*p for battery capacity stats, just ignore and uninstall the app and enjoy your phone. If you are paranoid, install Device Info and you may get a better capacity reading. For me it says 4800 typical. All batteries are bound to degrade after over a year or so, but not so soon.

In the case of Pixel 6A, the only way I found out was to uninstall the PlayStore and then installing 3rd party app stores. I dont remember if the following is all I've done but worth a try if you are using adb.

Before this, I wiped the phone and tried to update it to the latest version of android, then played around with fastboot and recovery, but never got the OEM unlock to work, then I also tried the One+Tool.7z which I found on XDA and finally did the following and installed Aurora store:

>> adb shell am broadcast -a com.android.systemui.demo -e command exit

>> adb shell settings put global sysui_demo_allowed 0

>> adb shell am start -S "com.android.settings/com.android.settings.DeviceAdminSettings"

>> adb shell

Hello, I want to root by phone, but in order to do that, I need to unlock the bootloader. My question is : Is a google backup sufficient to restore phone to his previous state ?

Thanks by advance
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] thxjxs:
Google can backup your sms messages, call logs, contacts (if u've synced them with ur gmail account), device settings, app information, so you can reinstall the apps automatically when u sign in again on a new phone or a the same phone, but rooted or with a new custom rom, without having to manually search up the apps on the play store and install them individually one-by-one (keep in mind that apps u've installed from sources other than the play store will need to be manually installed again), and your photos and videos (if u've enabled backup in google photos).

i frequently use it for custom rom hopping and find it more than sufficient
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] XibalbaM:
There is an alternative for the apps from others sources?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Laptapper:
No you can't get a good backup if bootloader is locked.

Wait for unlock and in case of that all losr...and then you can root and install ... Backup whatever you want

.,.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] XibalbaM:
I need to backup before unlock, because it's the unlocking process witch reset datas
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] XibalbaM:
And for the authenticators apps, is it possible to backup ?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Laptapper:
My opinion:

Without unlocked bootloader you can't root. Without root you can't backup any app data or app settings.

Only backup of internal storage is possible if unrooted, means pictures, self stored files, downloads...

Some apps are able to make an own settings backup.

Google backup means naked apps, sms, contacts, some ui settings and wifi password.

That's it
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] tag68:
The problem that you can't do a real backup without unlocked bootloader is the reason why I always unlock my smartphones before starting to really use it.

It is no problem not to root. Just unlock. All the other things are possible without data loss.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] On The Go Repairs:
So I tried flashing a boot img that was modded with magisk, and now the phone is stuck on a black screen with the oneplus logo. When I get into fastboot mode the computer does not recognize it when I type "fastboot devices". I want to flash it back to stock but I'm not sure how. I just got the phone not even an hour ago, and it's already ****ed up.

the command i used was:

fastboot flash boot_a '/media/boris/Downloads/lemonadep/magisk_patched-24306_C48.img'

target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes

sending 'boot_a' (196608 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.829s]

writing 'boot_a'...

OKAY [ 0.560s]

then I did the same with flash boot_b and it basically said the same thing. I am freaking out because if it can't recognize commands in fastboot mode, then I don't know what to do.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! I just want to flash to stock now so I can turn on the phone. At least the bootloader was unlocked without anything bad happening.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
People need to stop flashing patched boot images, you're supposed to boot them instead and use them to direct install Magisk. This solves two problems - your phone won't brick, and you'll be able to restore the images with Magisk to take incremental OTAs.

You will likely need to use the MSM Tool to recover your phone. Check the How To Guide tag to find the one for your model.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Shooter7889:
On A12 when I try booting "boot.img" I get stuck in fastboot.. I always flash patched_boot.. But I ALWAYS use latest magisk canary download.. Also OP stated his command was

Fastboot flash boot_a "xxxxxxxxxxxxx"

you need to type fastboot flash boot "magisk_patchedboot.img
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Doesn't make any sense that you get stuck in fastboot when trying to boot the same image that you then flash... This is the proper way to install Magisk with the boot and direct install method and it works when it's done properly.
