My phone is Samsung Galaxy Note10 Lite (Android 12, One UI 4.1).

The device was working normally before I put it in my suitcase with many other phones without protection. After a while I took the Note10 Lite out and saw the wallpaper had changed to default like when I activated the phone the first time. A "Safe mode" text also appeared in the lower left corner of the screen.

I unlocked the device using password and it took me to the process looked exactly like a factory reset with Language/Region options and privacy settings to choose. I followed all of these steps.

After the "factory reset alike" was done, my 3rd apps were all gone, only system apps were kept. I opened Settings>Apps and no longer saw 3rd apps in apps list. I moved through the internal storage and noticed 15gb of data was loss. The strange thing is my media files (musics, videos,...) and documents are still intact, nothing has been deleted.

I tried to restart the system, also press the "turn off Safe mode" notification but it always show an error message when the phone boot up:

"Phone started in Safe mode. There's a problem that's preventing your phone from starting normally. You'll need to factory reset your phone to exit Safe mode. you can use Safe mode to back up your data to a computer or SD card before resetting your phone."

As far as I know, phone which turns into Safe mode isn't supposed to do a factory reset automatically. Does anyone know what problem am I facing with? I don't want to do a factory reset as the message said, because there are apps contain important data which will be lost if I reinstall them.

[Realme 7 Pro Questions & Answers] TheDyce:
Hi everyone, about 2 years ago I bought a Realme 7 Pro and I always received the official OTAs ... while Android 11 was officially released I downloaded and installed this version from the Internet: RMX2170_11_A.41. Probably this caused some problems and from that moment I no longer receive OTAs ... there is a way to downgrade and go back to the very first version in order to get back to normal and receive all the updates including android 11 and 12 ? Thanks a lot to anyone who will be able to help me because I don't know how to solve ...

P.S. i have already done a hard reset and a factory reset but nothing has changed

Thanks you for the collaboration

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jrg67:
Hi all, this may be a dumb problem to have but a few weeks ago, I started watching an HDR video on YT and noticed the HBM didn't kick in. Since then, I have tried everything to fix it that I can on a non-rooted phone to no avail. I opened a support case with Google, they suggested the standard factory reset which didn't work as I told them it wouldn't. After that, they requested a bug report in which I did send. Without any explanation, they offered to replace the phone. I asked for details on the bug report and what was wrong but they ignored my request. I got so annoyed I declined the replacement and said I would just trade the phone for a pixel 7 which I did order and receive.

First thing I did when I got it was test HDR content and it worked as it should by kicking in HBM. The problem is, I am a victim of a poor screen on the 7 with washed out colors and a greenish yellowish tint. Now I'm back to the 6 pro after ordering a replacement for the 7 and back to trying to figure out why HBM isn't working.

I want to try to figure this out as I'm pretty sure the replacement 7 pro I get will have the same drab screen colors so will likely just return it all together and stick with the 6 pro.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I think HBM is a function of the kernel so I thought perhaps reflashing the kernel could fix it but I'm not sure and I'm not rooted (can't bc I use my phone for work and some of the apps we use for business detect rooted phones and deny use). I have used the android flash tool to do a full clean flash of A13 when it first came out so I'm guessing the kernel would have been updated then. Perhaps that broke it? I'm not sure when it did but I know HBM worked at some point in the past. I used the android flash tool like 4 or 5 times until it seemed all the weird quirks were mostly ironed out (I was one of the people posting in the thread about A13 weird issues when it first came out like battery drain, etc).

Anyone come across this and know how to fix?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] liggerz87:
Not sure of this could help settings display then colours either try natural boosted adaptive maybe they have something to do with the HDR
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jrg67:
The color profile has nothing to do with this bc when HDR kicks in, it super saturates the colors no matter what profile you're on.

I am still trying to find out if anyone else has this issue and if so, is high brightness mode a function of the kernel or something else in the software?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] liggerz87:
True I thought it might have had something to do with it least that's got ruled out sorry I'm no help
[Google Pixel 6a] natzy85:
Hello everyone,

I have a Mi A3. Lasted update was August on Android 11. Google Pixel is not officially supported in Romania and I was wandering if I will get one, will I be able to make 5G, VoWIFi and VoLTE to run in the future using root and custom rom?

I am at the point when I would ditch Android and buy a cheaper Iphone (SE or 11) just to get rid of the Android problems.

I really don't have time anymore to test different builds but, if there is a way to activate in the future I would seriously consider the 6a.

Before the A3 I had Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 and so on. I don't want to buy a Samsung Android just to have the options mentioned above. Thank you!
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
Go ahead then, buy an iPhone :D

What "Android problems" are you referring to?
[Google Pixel 6a] natzy85:
all sorts of bugs, for example right now my Mi A 3 won't start the assistant via voice command.

A lot of times the phone will block while charging and I would miss the alarm in the morning.

Not to mention battery drain, I now use the phone with battery saver activated all the time to last a day, and the battery has 4030 mAh.

I know I will miss Android for the customization part, and if there is a chance I can enable 5G and voice over Wifi in the future, I am going to get the 6a.

But my main grip is with the OS, my wife has Iphone and I didn't see any bugs. Although I never had a Pixel before, I was hoping to be a very stable system, but what I'm reading worries me a lot.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
Keep in mind, that you're comparing a super cheap budget Android phone (that even runs a stripped down version of AOSP) to an iPhone, that I'm sure cost at least three times the price of your A3.

The 6a is supposed to have one extra year of official software support than the iPhone 11, but you mentioned flashing custom ROMs, so I'm assuming it's not a huge dealbreaker for you. I'm not sure how much you could get an iPhone 11 or a 6a for. If you want a truly "bugless" experience, and it's not a lot more expensive, go for the iPhone, but don't upgrade to iOS 16, cuz it's as buggy as all previous Android versions combined :D

AFAIK, 5G, VoWIFi and VoLTE all depend on the carrier you're using. I live in Hungary, got the 6a from Germany. I see the options for all of these in the settings, but my carrier doesn't support any of them, so I can't actually test them, unfortunately.

Regarding 5G, VoWIFi and VoLTE and custom ROMs.. That's all up to developers. There's nothing preventing these phones from having any of these features when running a custom ROM.

The reviews and videos made on the 6a after release also had me worried a lot, I even started this thread on xda before purchasing the device, should you be interested in reading up more on about it.

I have been using the phone for about 3 weeks now, upgraded to A13 (no root or custom ROMs so far), and it's been working pretty much flawlessly. Fingerprint reader misses about as often as the rear-mounted reader did on the 4a. The display is super nice, no choppiness at all. Never had the system hung up so far. Photos/videos and image processing is excellent and incredibly fast.

The only thing I can complain about is the speakers; lacks bass (at least compared to the 4a).

tl;dr: I wouldn't be too worried about dealbreaking bugs. Google is going to support the 6a for 5 years, with feature drops every 3 months. If you can get it for less than its full price, it's a no brainer in my opinion.
[Google Pixel 6a] natzy85:
Thank you very much for the reply. I am from Romania and from what I have read, also all the carrier here doesn't support Google.

I really think I will get the 6a. I will give Android one more try :). Reading the thread you created.

About the price, at first Amazon.de was the cheapest, now we also have in Romania stores with more or less the same. price I still don't want to spend a lot of money on a mobile phone, but the prices on all of them this year has gone very high.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
It's not the carrier not supporting Google phones, it's the carrier not supporting the aforementioned features, no? It shouldn't matter (to the carrier) what phone you put your SIM card in. As long as the device has 5G capability, you should just be able to use it.

There are also some stores in Hungary since the release of the Pixel 6 that sell Google phones. If it wasn't for the trade-in program, I would have gotten my 6a from someplace in Hungary.

Do you have Alza in Romania? They sell the 6a, and also for a rather good price.
[Google Pixel 6a] natzy85:
unfortunately now, we don't have Alza.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
That's not the end of the world, I guess. As long as you can buy it from a store that's semi reputable, you'll likely have no issues.

Make sure to go for a store that likely won't close down in a few years, because if you need to get your device fixed under warranty, you'll have to contact your Point Of Sale instead of Google.
[Google Pixel 6a] natzy85:
thank you. I will. The problem is like with all the Nexus phones, the replacement parts are expensive compared to Apple. At least that is the case here, in Romania.
[Google Pixel 6a] natzy85:
but in this case 5g is supported by the phone and carrier but it doesn't work. I read somewhere that they have to enable some parameters for Pixel phones to work.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
I'm not familiar with any replacement parts; luckily I've never had to replace anything on my Pixels so far.

What I used to do with my previous phones was to just order the parts on eBay (or similar sites), and bring them in to whatever local GSM store.

Again, I'm not sure how this works, but I doubt that's the case. Be sure to check with your provider.
[Google Pixel 6a] natzy85:
Pixel 6 VoLTE

Eu am avut doar telefoane de la Google seria Pixel pentru că sunt foarte reușite. Telefoanele sunt capabile de VoLTE dar pentru asta trebuie să fie înregistrat și telefonul la providerul respectiv. De atâtia ani de când există aceste telefoane se pare că Orange nu s-a ocupat de asta și...

comunitate.orange.ro

Orange needs to get certificates from Google, and once it gets certified, it will be able to modify that neighborhood settings that will eventually modify that build.prop file that allows access to 5G, VoLTE and VoWIFI. The fact that we do not have these services is Orange Romania's fault. For the fact that Google has implemented this stupid process that puts users at the mercy of operators, Google is to blame. In the phone settings there is a Carrier settings section. The last update was on 30.09.2021, about 2 months before the launch of the Pixel 6 series.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
TIL. That's the dumbest thing I've heard in a while :D

What's their reasoning behind this lmao? Or is it how it works with all devices, it's just that supported phones get added to the list way before they're released to the public?
[Google Pixel 6a] natzy85:
From what I know this is with all carriers in Romania, you cannot have 5G with Pixel even with Vodafone or any carrier.

Hello Enthusiasts!

Is there a way to make T-Mobile OnePlus 9Pro (LE2127) work with an EU SIM?

I'm in Ukraine, and I already have T-Mobile Oneplus 7T Pro (McLaren), which started working with my SIM without effort. So that was a surprise when my new Oneplus 9 Pro, which I bought on eBay, rejected connecting to my local cellular network.

Is this problem solvable at all?

The phone is SIM unlocked, now I've also unlocked its bootloader via the official OP website. Perhaps, if I flash a Global EU ROM (https://xdaforums.com/t/convert-your-t-mobile-le2127-to-eu-via-msm-no-unlock-bin-needed.4272837/), will the phone start seeing my local cellular network? I'm confused by several feedbacks in this thread from guys who have easily bricked their phones by trying to flash this Global EU ROM, so maybe there is no reason to take this risk if it will not solve the problem.

Kind Regards,

Vlad
[OnePlus 9 Pro] CZ Eddie:
I don't know of any issues doing MSM to EU firmware.

I've done it dozens of times on my T-Mobile phone that I use on a T-Mobile plan.

I can (and have) go back and forth between EU and T-Mobile MSM all day without any issues.

But please stay the **** away from the India MSM.

I think that's labeled "IU" or "IA" or something with an "I" in the name.

It supposedly will cause unresolvable issues trying to go back to T-Mobile firmware.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Appreciative:
If it's sim unlocked, it should not be rejecting connection to your cellular network. Unless the frequency bands used in your area are missing from the modem. That also seems unlikely because the 9P has one of the widest coverages for bands of any OP phone. Maybe try selecting 4g/3g/2g default instead of 5g/4g/3g/2g.

(Settings->Wifi & Network->Sim & Network->Preferred Network Type)

Are you certain it's sim unlocked?

I am also on a tmobile 9P and used the msm->eu with no problem. I've done it a few times without problem going either way. But I don't know if that would solve your issue. Don't forget to back up your modem, persist, and modemst1/2 partitions before flashing the EU rom just in case. It won't hurt anything to flash the EU rom - you will be able to recover if anything goes wrong. And you'll get rid of the ugly ass tmobile branding. But you won't have the SIM unlock built in anymore so be certain your phone is currently PERMANENTLY Sim unlocked or you'll need to flash back to MSM->Tmo to use the built in unlocking app. If you are sure it's already permanently unlocked, give it a go Vlad
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Validator1982:
Thank you @CZ Eddie , @Appreciative for your answers.

I've validated here that there is definitely not a hardware problem with wireless bands support.

So now I understand that moving to Global ROM will not resolve the issue with "No carrier network". Googling the issue provided two more options:

1) try to switch the radio bands region via the menu in *#*#4636#*#* (the guy here described totally the same issue as I have). That didn't work for me, saying that it cannot switch the region to Europe (as well as to any other option);

2) try to erase modemst1, modemst2, as per the solution described in this video and also in this xda thread, but I'm again at risk of bricking the phone. At least, that was stated in the mentioned previously thread: *** Backup your working modemst1/2 and persist. If you lose these for any reason, it's unique to your device and not recoverable if you didn't back up (via MSM or other people).

Commands:

Take out sim

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

Insert sim

Am I right to understand, that I can use MSM to backup modemst1/2, then I could safely recover them back from the backup if my try with the second option doesn't help?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Appreciative:
That's supposed to be the case. MSM->F8, select is how I backed mine up.

I have read that if modemst1/2 is erased, it's restored/repaired/rebuilt from efs (or fsg) if available. Back these up before trying anything. Along with persist as the "fag rebuild" rumor may not apply to the 9P or work.

I've also read that when trying to restore modemst1/2 that it'll say fail to flash critical partitions and the suggested fix is to fastboot reboot fastboot while in fastboot. I haven't personally tried to restore my modemst1/2
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Validator1982:
Thank you @Appreciative !

I've hardly managed to put my OP9P to EDL mode and connect to MSM - after plugging in the phone with pressed +-, it was always trying to boot into OS immediately or soon after MSM told me it was connected.

Anyways, during those seconds while my phone was successfully connected to MSM I pressed F8, chose modemst1/2 options, and clicked on the 'Ok', but it asked me to provide a password. Is there any default password for MSM to do the backup, or do I need to ask TMO or OnePlus for it?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Appreciative:
The password is oneplus and the files will be saved to C:/
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Validator1982:
I've managed to do the necessary backups via MSM, and then tried the following:

1) switched with MSM from TMO Android 12 to TMO Android 11 OS (11.2.6.6);

2) switched with MSM from TMO 11.2.6.6 to EU 11.2.2.2 (from the thread regarding the switching from TMO to EU) - here I'm still able to see and trigger "OEM unlock" in "Developer Options", successfully executed "fastboot OEM unlock";

3) applied OTA upgrade from EU 11.2.2.2 to EU 11.2.10.10 - here I see greyed "OEM unlock" in "Developer Options", but still able to successfully execute "fastboot OEM unlock";

4) applied OTA upgrade from EU 11.2.10.10 to Android 12 - here I already see LE2123 in "About phone", instead of LE2127 as before; I still see greyed "OEM unlock" in "Developer Options";

----

Everywhere there I still wasn't able to make my SIM card to be connected to the cellular network even though SIM card itself was successfully detected.

----

5) rolled back it all by switching back to TMO 11.2.6.6 via MSM. I got my bootloader locked and I still see greyed "OEM unlock" in "Developer Options". I've unlocked the bootloader via fastboot and my key file, but still wondering how to get ungreyed "OEM unlock" in "Developer Options". The Network Unlock status is "Permanent unlock".

6) I've tried to fastboot erase modemst1, but it told me that critical partitions were locked, so I cannot do that. I've also not found how to unlock that.

And my SIM is still unrecognized. So I got stuck.

Do you have any ideas?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Appreciative:
I can help you with getting the oem unlock toggle, using @Ju5t3nC4s3's tool here: https://xdaforums.com/t/one-_tool-w...ader-unlock-enabler-engineer-decrypt.4380419/

Although that doesn't solve your problem at all. There is a chance the tmobile variant (or any version I suppose) does not support the network in question at all. It could be missing the bands in the modem or maybe blacklisted on the network? I've read ATT blocks some OP devices from the network. Is it possible the device has a blacklisted imei? What carrier is the sim?

( Brick your tab if downgrade.)

Someone told me that digit 1 not change to 2 , we can rollback but with data-reset only , but I don't recommend that way. it a risky .

Now. this update is on all samsung server. ota to your lock bootloader for auto update.

Don't make your CustomAP file with T225XXS1BVI2.​

What next ? if you can't rollback to Android 11 then you can't uses Fastboot mode from TWRP which TM-S22x Android 11 only supported.

I am using P7Pro and I am satisfied with idle drain, however screen on is using too much battery while I am scrolling, or doing some basic tasks.

In this example while recording it was using much more power than without it (it's obvious), but without recording I am seeing constant 700-1100mah spikes (also CPU spikes a lot, so that's why it is spanking the battery) while doing this generic stuff.

Settings: 45% brightness, Wi-Fi, adaptive brightness, 120Hz, 1440p, stock kernel, no root.

I think that this CPU governor sucks too much juice in order to prevent occasionally hiccups. Do you guys have the same experience? It's my 5th day of using this phone, but don't think that adaptive battery could have anything to do with it.

For me it's hard to tell if it's high.
