[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] magrac:
Hello everyone,

I come here because I have a big issue with my Pixel 3 XL.

It's up-to-date regarding the OTA updates i.e. I have the latest firmware installed.

I've never done anything special regarding "tweaking", such as enabling the developer mode i.e. the developer mode is unfortunately not enabled.

I was browsing the Internet and the phone suddenly rebooted unexpectedly. Then it was in a reboot loop. I pressed power and volume down buttons to enter the boot menu.

The boot loop stopped but I was unable to do anything to make my phone boot properly again. In the recovery menu, there is no option to wipe the cache partition.

There should be roughly 400 MB of free space on the phone. I was thinking that maybe this could have been the cause of the issue.

When the phone is off and not plugged to the charger, the percentage of battery decreases. When the charger is plugged, the percentage of battery does not decrease but does not increase either. It seems I cannot charge the phone anymore. Currently remains 13%.

When the phone is off and I press the power button, the Google logo shows up and the progress bar below has just time to appear before the phone vibrates and goes off.

I don't care much saving the phone, but it's extremely important to me to be able to recover the photos it contains (standard DCIM folder).

Most of what I found googleing so far is about wiping the cache partition, but there is no such option on my Pixel 3 XL.

Since the developer mode (USB debugging) was not enabled when the phone was working fine, I cannot use adb to pull files. I can sideload though. As far as I understood, in my situation it is not possible to enable the developer mode.

I've just heard about TeamWin Recovery Project, and still trying to figure out if this can help me.

Could someone please tell me how I can, at least, backup my photos?

Of course the best would be able to boot the phone normally, but really my first goal is to save my photos.

Is there a way to reflash the firmware with the same version, or another version, without losing data, just like what happens on a regular update e.g. when a new Android version is deployed?

Thank you.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
I don't think there is anything you can do without developer mode, but aren't your photos backed up to Google servers at https://photos.google.com?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] magrac:
no, I don't synch with the Google cloud.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] magrac:
I've just read that in order to install TWRP, I needed a unlocked bootloader, which is not my case. Unlocking the bootloader would cause my data to be wiped (for security reason it seems). Is that true?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
Unfortunately, that is correct. Unlocking the bootloader wipes the data. I know of nothing you can do.

I have an Issue. How to Fix It?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Berkelium:
I need a new phone with NFC and am considering Redmi Note 10 Pro. I need NFC because of a medical device (glucose sensor). Does NFC work well with custom ROMs? Can anyone check if the device is compatible with the LibreLink app (app for the sensor)? The app should be from Abbott but it may vary depending on the region. Lastly, if it is compatible can you try to install and open the app when I tried the app on Oneplus 6T it just crashed.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] nv-:
I'm using NFC for payments with google pay without problems on custom rom.

I was able to install mentioned app. However after launch it stuck in the something that look like splash screen. This was tested on PixelOS (A12) rom.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Berkelium:
Thanks for the help. It's greatly appreciated.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] sheikfahad:
using NFC can you measure blood glucose? please explain this... i never heard... 😶
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Berkelium:
Not really the sensor, in my case Abbott's Freestyle Libre, measures blood glucose and transmits the data with NFC to the phone. They are called Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) and there are other companies that offers different CGMs. If you want to learn more about them you could search CGMs and if you or anyone close to you needs one of these you should talk with your endocrinologist.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] sheikfahad:
okay... i got it bro... 😊👍🏻

Hi, I have just moved from one xiaomi phone to another (mi 9T to mi 11t) and phone is using its weird model name 21081111RG on its wifi name and across the miui, storage etc. Is it possible to change it? Of course device name is set and on my old phone it was using device name all over the place and never seen a model name anywhere being used except some firmware stuff. Please help :)

[General Questions and Answers] bikereep:
Hi

I'm on a stock Samsung Note 10+ 5G. I normally disable unused apps with Tasker and only load them as I need them, my primary aim to reduce battery drain. I wanted to see how good Android 12 was at controlling apps battery usage so I've enable all my apps, and put them into the following states:

Mobile Data - I've turned "Allow background data usage" to OFF

Under the battery section, each app is Restricted

I've removed from "Optimise battery usage" section, so they are being battery optimised

Under Developer Options, Standby Apps, I have put each app into Restricted mode

Most apps are behaving fine, but I'm getting quite a few apps over time using battery. When I check under GSAM, all of them have the same wakelock which is Google_C2DM. The apps typically are not active (i.e. when I check in the app manager, "Force Stop" is greyed out) and they are listed as "Manually Disabled". I've tried killing the apps, clearing cache on the apps and the phone, restarting etc but cannot get them to entirely stop battery usage. Is there a solution for this and any idea why its the same Google_C2DM wakelock?

thanks

I myself am investigating YouTube app battery usage and that component is also listed at the top in GSAM.

Hello dear community,

I hope you can help me as I would like to replace my battery, but unfortunately I can't find any sites with a replacement battery for Realme GT 2 Pro.

can you help me?

Original:

Hallo liebe Gemeinde,

Ich hoffe ihr könnt mir helfen, da ich gerne meinen Akku ersetzen möchte, aber ich finde leider keine Seiten mit einem Ersatzakku für Realme GT 2 Pro.

Why do you need to change?

There is a picture of the battery if works.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] Fuijo:
<Moderator Edit>: English translation added to the top.

Super thank you.

Because as a cell phone technician, I noticed that the temperature is always very high, up to 44 degrees, every time I charge it. Before it was only up to 40 degrees. That's the way it is, I use my cell phone a lot. Therefore, when changing the battery, I would also like to renew the thermal paste.

Original:

Super vielen Dank.

Denn als Handytechniker ist mir aufgefallen, dass die Temperatur immer sehr hoch ist, bis zu 44 Grad, jedes Mal wenn ich es auflade. Vorher waren es nur bis zu 40 Grad. Das ist auch so, ich nutze mein Handy sehr intensiv. Daher möchte ich beim Batteriewechsel auch die Wärmeleitpaste mit erneuern.

Is there a shop where I could buy such a battery?

[Realme GT 2 Pro] themagicalmage22:
Hey, I have the same issues as you. At first I thought of buying a phone radiator cooler for $15 to use it, but I found a better alternative: I just use a lower watt charger if I'm not in need of the 65W charging. I use a 10W charger, since it gets spread as 5W + 5W, the healthy wattage when charging, and the temperature only goes up to 37°C. Of course, when you need the 65W, use it. If you don't, just use 10W which you can do by just using a different cable on the 65W charging brick.
[Google Pixel 6] Kuldar_Joel:
So I'm thinking of buying the P6, there's a good deal on amazon for 529€.

So ppl who have used it what do u like about it and what not???
[Google Pixel 6] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The only real annoyances I've encountered are the fingerprint reader occasionally not reading my fingerprint and the connectivity toggle in Android 12. The latter I fixed by rooting and installing Better Internet Tiles from the Play Store. The former? I deal with it for now, but I do think after taking the July update I'll set my fingerprints up again.
[Google Pixel 6] FILIPSN007:
I have some issue with multitasking. Sometimes I can't do a gesture to active multitasking. It's happening twice per day. June update din't solved it. It's really anoying.
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
TIL...

Thanks for that.
[Google Pixel 6] an Apple sheep:
Most noticable annoyances for me are the slow fingerprint reader, the camera app taking like 5 seconds to switch between photo and video (idk if this happens to other p6s but it made me miss a lot of great shots) and no face unlock.
[Google Pixel 6] Borh77:
What's good

- pure Android without bloatware

- very good photos

- Material Me (it is a gimmick but I like it)

- flat screen with deep blacks

What's bad

- charging slow compared to my previous phone (Xiaomi mi 11 Ultra)? Not on par with competition on this criteria

What's neither good neither bad

- fingerprint reader : I don't have any problem, it works as my previous Xiaomi mi 11 Ultra but not as fast as my Galaxy tab S8

- screen brighrness, I have no problem reading it even in sunlight, but I have seen brighter (my Galaxy tab S8)

- battery life. I have 10h SOT, 34h overall. More than enough for one day, but not enough for 2 days

Overall, I like this phone a lot, more than my previous Xiaomi mi 11 Ultra even if it is far cheaper.
[Google Pixel 6] tokuzumi:
Slow charging is probably due to optimized charging being checked. It will slowly charge overnight and will be at 100% just before your alarm is set to go off. At least that's how it's supposed to work. Didn't work on my wife's pixel 6 so we disabled it.
[Google Pixel 6] Borh77:
With my previous Xiaomi mi 11 Ultra, I could charge from 0 to 80% in less than 30mn and to 100% in less than 45mn. I am sure there are no Pixel 6 settings that could allow that.
[Google Pixel 6] bobbarker2:
Slow charging? It does 30W USB PD/21W Wireless.. that's roughly 66% in 1h. Sure the Mi Ultra 11 charges at 65W+ but its also a Li-Po battery, while P6 uses the more common Li-Ion. Li-Po batteries have a shorter life-cycle and charging at 65W+ will degrade its life-span even faster.

I plug my phone in for 30mins and I get 30-40% battery which is a more than enough charge to get me through whatever for the day. Though only time I actually ever have needed to plug my phone in to get me through the day is when I play games on it for a while.

The fingerprint reader is slow but it has dramatically improved since release. It was annoyingly slow at launch, now I don't even notice the lag.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] djsubterrain:
OnePlus's broken promises are leaving developers angry and enthusiasts upset

It's violating the GPL, silently killed its developer device seeding program, and broke arguably every promise made at its 2019 Open Ears Forum

www.androidpolice.com

This, especially should see their phones blocked until they follow the rules correctly:
[OnePlus 9 Pro] pyry666:
Its not maybe GPL violation, its IS GPL violation! Thanks OPPO
[OnePlus 9 Pro] razercortex:
I'm hardly surprised. OnePlus abandoned a lot of their promises when they did the merger, and I don't really expect them to deliver on them now.

I guess that means a Pixel is the only option until Google too decides to kill customization. They're already hardening Safetynet which looks like they're getting ready to kill off development.

02. NOTHING OS BOOT IMAGES

Extract the zip file before booting/flashing!

/!\ IT'S HIGHLY RECOMMENDED /!\

Do not flash Magisk Patched boot images

Instead boot directly to a patched boot.img file

to keep OTA updates available

fastboot boot Magisk_Patched_XXX.img

​

The device will boot temporary with root and a stock boot image flashed:

- Open Magisk > Install > Install Directly (Recommended) > Reboot with Magisk

PHONE(1) will boot rooted maintaining a backup of the stock boot image to restore for the next OTA Update.

If the Magisk patched boot file doesn't boot, just do a hard reboot/shutdown by pressing ON/OFF button for 5 seconds, the device will then reboot with stock boot.

@Sib64

Hey sib, I own a np1, and i was going through the phone and have gone into engineerigmode.

I was just clicking in on each of the options i found and i was coming out.

Within no time i found that the mobile network disappeared, and i fond that it isnt recognsiing the SIM Card as well.

I later found out that the IMEI is being shown "null" as well.

Can you help me with what i can do here.

I seen on the internet that some partition may have been the issue and reflashing the partition can bring back the IMEI. Can you or anyone watching this space help me with the problem?
[Nothing Phone 1] Holospark:
Same problem on my unit. Null IMEI code after i have updated latest ota 1.0.2 but my device goes to soft brick on bootloader mode.
