[Redmi Note 9 Pro (International Model) General and] HiQual:
I am not clear what you mean about "Android 12(stock version)" is that Stock MIUI Android 12 or some other non MIUI custom Android 12 ROM.

Anyway, for me the biggest problems with non MIUI (ie custom) ROMs are - no VOLTE, no VoWiFi and inferior non MIUI camera apps. With stock MIUI ROMs you can use debloat tools to stop ads and remove system apps.
[Redmi Note 9 Pro (International Model) General and] mastrobottega_enf:
By stock android I mean the native android experience, without any skinning (= no custom ROMs). You can read more about it here. The one you find in Nokia and Google devices.

I flashed elixir os 2.0 and after its done ,i wanted to boot into TWRP recovery but i couldn't as if it was removed or replaced. Later i tried to reboot into system recovery but couldn't do it and it shows

oplus verify fail

need to verify signature of another brand

oplus verify pass

fastboot verify success

fastboot_unlock_verify ok

I tried to flash TWRP again and it got succeeded but still couldnt reboot to recovery, even tried "fastboot reboot recovery" but the phone doesn't boot to recovery. It tries to boot to recovery but couldnt and just reboot to system.

Can i have any solution for this?.. How can i fix this?

When I get a new Android unrooted phone and do not log into my google account will the amount of telemetry that's automatically collected about me be reduced?

I use FDroid, Aurora and Netguard and can reduce the amount of data collect by apps, but some apps require G play services, and this seems to collects all sorts of data about all of my activities with the phone.

So will not logging in to a new, normal, unrooted Android phone have any significant privacy effect?

Hello,

Does anyone here own a Chromebook and an old Tomtom PNA like the old Tomtom Go 630, 730, etc. and tell if their Chtomebook can see the files in the old Tomtom PNA?

I don't have a Chromebook but I have several Android phones (Android 12 and 13) and my phones are not able to recognize the files in the Tomtom with different OTG cables and adapters, that seems strange because the Tomtom format is FAT32.

So, before buying a Chromebook I would like to be sure that Chromebook can read the old Tomtom PNAs.

Thank you,

I got Fold4 this morning, but sadly find that cameras no longer work after bootloader unlocking. It's just a history replay of fold3.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] 白い熊:
Seriously doubt this - I think you messed up somewhere.

I'm the one who discovered that Fold 3 killed cameras on unlock a year ago and reported it here.

I've gotten a Fold 4 three weeks ago and was warry of this.

Anyhow I have unlocked the bootloader, rooted the Fold with no issue.

So unless it's specific to some firmware update - I doubt it - you should be more specific about what happened: did you get the warning message in Download mode?

What's the exact firmware your phone is on etc...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] dirtybudha:
What model do you have? I believe the Fold 3 models will be the same ones that can be rooted for the Fold 4.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] 白い熊:
EU - always - those are the only ones that can be rooted - BL unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] dirtybudha:
Yeah, just had to make sure. SO many people will see this post and pop in to ask if the US models are root-able. At least this way they can read that it's not the US models.

Hey! So, I wanted to know what exactly trips the knox efuse:

-The unlock of the bootloader,

-The installation of a custom recovery, or

-The rooting

Also, what exactly do I lose if I trip it (aside from warranty)?

Just in case: I have a S908E

Thanks in advance 🙂

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] affigne:
So we can agree that unlocking the bootloader doesn't trip knox, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dalepl:
Correct.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Probably not. It's a Snapdragon right? Notoriously hard to root; what's to be gained by unlocking the bootloader?

I leave the firmware alone and use work arounds. It's to the point where I won't even do any upgrades or updates especially OTA. My devices are fulfilling their mission and as such are too valuable to risk losing. Stock loads once optimized can run well, be very stable and long lived with little maintenance.

This N10+ N975U/Pie current load is over 2 yo, still running like a bat out of hell. There was a time it was a stuttering hot running hog... a real pig. I conservatively disabled about 80 apks, mucked extensively with the settings and used a few third party apps for work arounds, to enhanced operation and security. This is what a stock Samsung is capable of.

My other N975U1 runs on 10, it's setup profile is nearly identical in spite of the many dozens of new small Samsung system apks, I left almost all untouched. If it's not resource hog, or a security risk, or crapware like Device Wellness crowding my settings menu I leave it be. I started with the worst offenders and worked my way down.

Android 11 and especially 12 will offer some new very annoying challenges which is why I bypassed them entirely. I loathe the bootloader rollback protection that locks you into 10 and 11 on my device. Moral of the story, look very carefully before you leap. Lol, let Mikey try it first. Where there's little to gain there's a lot to lose.

I still prefer the simplicity, functionality and usability of 9. However I haven't evaluated camera image quality of the 10 variant; it's more of pain to use though is my first impression. Other than possible that and better dark mode there are few tangible improvements and some annoying downsides that will need workarounds.

Scoped storage, some of the rude surprises.

Android 12, dirty pipe... older kernels not effected.

Android 13, if all goes to plan...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] affigne:
I get you. Ever since I've got my S7 I haven't rooted any other phone I had (s10+ SD and this S22U SD as well). This is why I am not updated on the knox thing - Last time I rooted a phone was a S5 exynos). But when I searched for rooting my s22u I stumbled across this knox thing. Researched a bit but still couldn't find the answers to my questions, hence this thread.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm currently not too sold in the idea of rooting my s22u due to the benefits still not outweighing the caveats, but I'm not entirely shut down from the idea. Custom recovery, full access to my folders (I hate scoped storage), enhanced android auto experience... these are some of the things I'd like to have, but then tripping the knox means void warranty, knox-relying apps not working, encryption kissed bye-bye, and half-priced trade-in for the next S23U, if any (I'd like to upgrade it just so I can enjoy full SoC power without the known heating issues of this phone, plus more powerful chip). So, kind of in a dilemma right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
I hear you. Not even sure you can root it. For my N10+'s because they are Snapdragon's the only way to root them is giving a 3rd party vendors complete access to the device to unlock the bootloader, I believe. If that service is even available for the S22U yet. Do know 100% as this is a passing curiosity for me so I haven't looked that hard. I doubt Samsung have made it any easier in the last 3 years especially for the Snap variants.

You can use adb edits to tone it down a bit. Not sure my favorite package disabler works on 12, someone told me it didn't. Again that's a passing curiosity because I have no plans to upgrade these older phones unless they would run better, which I highly doubt.
[General Questions and Answers] tonylcc:
Hello all (Sorry if that's the wrong section to ask)

A friend of mine reached me and tell me about his parent Sony Xperia XZ3 encountering bootloop issue

This is the situation i observed about the phone

1. Hold on power button is not responding

2. When power is plugged(Including QI wireless charging), it is trying to boot, as long as Sony logo is showing up, it shutdown instantly

3. Only red indicator light showing during the boot

4. Holding Vol+ or Vol- while plugging to the computer is only repeating 2, unable to detect

May I know if anyone got such experiences with their phone previously? How it ends up?

If possible, may I know what causes it?

Much appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
do a fullwipe. perhaps it was caused by an update.
[General Questions and Answers] tonylcc:
I believe the phone no longer receive any update

plus, the phone itself is unable to connect to the computer or boot into any mode(Fastboot, recovery)

once it is connected to the power, few second after it is showing Sony logo(before boot animation), it will reset itself
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
it may be out of power. that might be the use of that red indicator light. usually bootlooping can drain the battery. leave it be a couple of hours.
[General Questions and Answers] tonylcc:
You mean leave it bootloop for hours and it could works?

i mean the phone battery is probably dead right now. thats why is unresponsive. leave it charging over night. see tomorrow if the phone is responsive to your commands.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bxsteez:
Yup. I dunno what is going on. I was using sony's cable to charge the thing and the power button was lit up red and now i switched to a different cable and the power button doesn't turn red anymore but the indicator lights are flashing like it doesn't have enough power to start. It may just be dead and sony's cable just stopped working and never charged the thing

Nope that isn't it... it just won't power on for some reason. i hope someone has an idea as to what is going on because i don't

battery stone dead~won't recharge

I have the same problem. I don't believe ti has anything to do with the cable. The first time it suddenly came to life after a day or two fo being dead, but this time so far it is still in a coma. It did briefly awaken when connected to the pc, but it kept blacking out, and now it's completely gone again.

Could it be that it is not set to power off until the battery is completely stone dead, and therefore it won't recharge?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bxsteez:
I think you are absolutely right. I don't believe it allows you to charge it until it is turned on. So try and plug it for like 15mins and try and power it on. Let us know if it works
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tanquen:
This sounds like what I have seen on more than one device. If you let the battery go completely dead it will not take a charge from a USB cable to a PC or hub, even if it was a powered hub. We had some old HTCs that would only take a charge from a transformer when the battery had been fully depleted. It was like the USB to PC or hub did not give it enough amps or watts to turn it on and start charging.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calvin H:
Came accross this also in the Kaiser forums - think it has something to do with the battery being absolutely drained, so much that there isn't enough power to switch the current to the battery again.

Never happened to me, so never quite figured it out. But the Kaiser forum had a lot of discussion (and solutions I think) on this. (Xperia has HTC involvement..or so it's rumoured).

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nippero:
Hey I just ran into this problem today.

Turns out it was activesync messing with the phone o_O

Ended the mobile device center process in task manager and phone went back to normal.

EDIT: Ok maybe its not back to normal. But it was definitely caused by activesync...

EDIT2: Back to normal now... Had to plug in the wall charger. After a minute the charging lights flashed and i was able to turn it on.

Checking battery status, and its in the red.. I guess the activesync was just a coincidence.

But wow, I left the thing plugged into my computer overnight to charge, and apparently it drained more than it charged?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tanquen:
There is defiantly something extra going on with the Xperia. While other devices I’ve seen fully drained refuse to start charging again from a USB to PC cable and even some power outlet charges. My Xperia is also doing as Nipperos. With an almost full charge I plugged it into the USB to PC cable and the icon went to the little plug and when I clicked on it the status said that it is was charging but when I got ready to leave for the day it had drained down one red bar. It was also very warm. With this, the $800 price tag and the random crashing made worse by the incredibly poor location of the reset button and made even worse by the incredibly poor design of the battery cover. Really, what is the proper way to get the thing off without breaking it? I’m fighting the urge to return it.

Any word on a new firmware?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bharat4ever:

my x1 did this today. my buddy has a verizon htc phone and let me use hus htc wall charger and it did the trick...

my x1 is a x1i so i dont know if the US. plugs or what dont agree with the phone. but out of 6 cables and chargers only 2 will charge the phone from a dead battery the other 4 would only charge after it was on.

so my best solution for you all is to find yourself a htc wall charger and let it charger for 20 mins before trying to turn it on.

and of course theres htc involvment on the x1. look in the windows folder. all drivers are HTCxxx.dll the comm manager is htc. theres a forum here the htc developers site. this isnt a site for samsungs and other makers. this is a site for htc devices. if it wasnt a htc device it wouldnt be here.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crasher:
My experience

I had a similar experience while on a trip to Korea. I didn't foresee that a 200mA difference in the current output of a wall socket charger will cause me so much pain.

I had always been able to charge the X1 with my Jabra headset's wall socket charger, hence I brought it on my trip. Not being mindful of the ratings, it can only supply 500mA, which is different from the X1's charger, 700mA. I was using it happily on a bus, happily keeping it alive with a solar USB charger (till it ran out of juice too). A while later, playing with the GPS I noticed my battery power dropped to 20% (2 bar) so I pressed the power button to conserve energy.

Unknowingly, the battery kept draining and the next time I wanted to turn it on I couldn't. The top 2 LEDs gave me 3 red blinks. I thought, "ok, so I just go back to the hotel to charge it with my Jabra charger."

When I tried that, I noticed that the power button gave a constant red LED and the battery did not charge. Taking out the battery and putting it back, I noticed the power LED went off (which indicates it was going to charge) but came back out again. It never charged.

Back home, after using the supplied SE charger, the power LED went off and never came back. I tried to turn on the X1 after 15mins and it powered up, showing the usual charging LED cycles.

Lesson Learnt. Always use original accessories. :o

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fana7ic:
Just happened to me :S

I had used it all day and Wifi was turned on so obviously battery was almost dead. To save battery I turned off the Xperia.

When I tried to turn it on again it wouldnt and so I connected it to the pc.

That didnt work out so I connected it to the standard charger but that also didnt work. Right now my Xperia X1 is lying unplugged on the table because someone said you should leave it unplugged for a couple of minutes.

Hopefully it will work, I only have had it for 3 days :´(

Also hope this doesnt happen everytime your battery is drained because that would be annoying as hell.

--Edit--

Ok so what I did was I removed the battery and plugged it back in. This worked and I managed to turn it on and right now its charging.

Though when I try to go to sleep mode it turns the display on again after about 3 seconds and does what I am guessing is a low battery beep (Sorry windowsmobile noob here) but then stops instantly, which is pretty stange.

Has anyone else experienced a complete FAILURE of their phone to charge the battery? I had to buy an external battery charger, so that i do not need to rely on the crappy xperia charging circuit.

Even with a half charged battery, my xperia is unable to charge, and when connected via USB it simply proceeds to drain the battery at a faster rate rather than charging it.

Unbelievable for a 500GBP phone, even my 40 pound sony ericsson manages to charge without fault!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avarell_Dalton:
USB

There are specifications on how much power (current) a attached USB device can get. Well explained here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#Power

Computer manufacturers also makes changes in appearance on different USB sockets on the same computer, especially on laptops, some have full current support others don't and to save battery (PC battery) max current lowers when on battery mode,

If your phone is set to leave display on while on power the battery will drain and heat up your device significantly (speaking of when attached to a low power usb socket)

Hope this brings some clarity to your problems. Personally I don't think it has anything to do with quality of your Sony Exp-ensive/eria, or mine :D

My battery was about 20%. I attached it to my PC via USB and after a while it powered off and was unable to power on.

I removed and re-inserted the battery.

I left it 10 minutes attached to PC and nothing changed. It was unable to power on.

Then I attached it to my wall charger (5V - max 1A!) for 10 minutes and this has been sufficient to be able to power on it again.

Im sorry im using this old post, and ive read similar posts before i post my situation but nothing helped me.

I started buy buying a new oem case from ebay to replace my silver xperia and make it an black xperia, and the case worked fine and everything worked without a problema, but i used a "foam" that came with the new case and even though the phone worked alright it would catch less signal then usual (1 less bar) so i decided to take the foam off thinking that maybe it did have something to do with it.

When i reconnected all parts and tried to turn it on at first it worked but then the screen went nuts! weird lines and colors. Now it just doesnt give any power signl, not even the famous red light or any other LED that most people seem to have. The screen wasnt working very well , i dont know if has something to do with it (i really dont know) but its worth mentioning just in case.

When i use wall charger or usb it doenst work or give any light red or whatever even after a few hours of charging, any1 has any suggestion???

Wouldnt the phone start even with a broken LCD even though no image would appear (if it wont then thats probably the problem)??

I bought a new lcd that must be coming in a few days (also a new battery), but maybe it will be just for nothing...
