[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] KaiserSnorezay:
I can no longer make calls without using a wired or bluetooth headset because the other party cannot hear me. Confirmed by trying Google voice search and attempting to record voice using the sound recorder. In addition, auto rotate no longer works; the camera will only ever take pics in portrait mode and holding the phone horizontal doesn't change the orientation of the icons. Same problem with any other app that detects orientation, from web browser to Youtube (manually making Youtube fullscreen works as landscape).

I haven't dropped the phone or subject it to any physical impact either.

I have tried to downgrade the firmware by flashing each individual extracted image file to its corresponding partition using fastboot, and now I have the older update from September, but the problem persists. Is there a fix?
[Google Pixel 6] adrfel96:
Hello!

I have a question, how do you take care of your battery? And how much time does SOT and overall battery life hold for you then?

1) Do you close background apps?

2) Do you use Facebook lite instead of Facebook?

3) Do you turn off the internet, location, wifi when you don't need it?

How to make better use of the phone so that the battery works for many years?
[Google Pixel 6] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
1. When the mood strikes me.

2. Don't use Facebook at all. If I did I would access it through the browser.

3. No.

Just use the phone and don't worry so much about the battery.
[Google Pixel 6] Galaxea:
If you want it to last many years then your best bet is to limit charging to around 80% and don't let it run down past 20% too often. For more info on this search in this forum as it has been discussed before.
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
the best i can get the pixel6 to is about 6-8% battery use per hour screen on time.

and 1-1.3% battery use per hour screen off.

every other device i have uses less then 0.5% battery per hour screen off

10-12% battery use per hour screen on

and that is with a battery half the size.

so i have found no way to get good battery life from the pixel 6, and have gotten much much worse before i disabled a ton of stuff.
[Google Pixel 6] Zaxx32:
Best battery life req. full control of your phone. Only way to get full control is with root access...
[Google Pixel 6] Monkey D_Luffy:
To take care of your phone battery, I would recommend you to not use your phone when it’s on charging, it affects the battery life. And make sure you didn’t raise your phone temperature too much.

Otherwise, use your phone freely, you don’t need to extremely take care of it.
[Google Pixel 6] morphvale:
Or get a dumb phone. Since your prefer dumbing your smartphone anyway.

Hi folks, this forum is really different to when I last visited so I am not sure where to post this...

I have the DJI RC Pro, screened remote control that's running a very slim Android 10.

The RC does not have Google services installed so I'm sure you can understand the issues that this leads to.

I am not even sure how one would even go about rooting the RC but ideally I would like Google services added, any advice please?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenneh:
I don't know anything about the device but if your main goal for right now is simply services, maybe you can look into "microG" to get the services, or there is an option called the "aurora store" both of which you can download on your android device without having to setup adb or fastboot.

MicroG's Website

I wrote some knowledge on aurora here

if you have adb and fastboot access that opens you to being able to just flash gapps normally but idk your situation
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Seeam Shariar:
My phone name and model is redmi 9c (angelica) variant..i will get straight to the point..i installed an updated version of my from 12.0.22 to 12.5.4.0 through orange fox recovery...i flashed the recovery by dirty flashing where i just cleared cache and delvik ART or something...then just flashed the whole update zip file through recovery.. everything was working and no problem then i just thought that i would open the custom recovery and it will not open and will kept itself stuck in recovery image or start image of the recovery not open or closing.. nothing worked until i thought i should just factory reset my phone but it won't factory reset itself and will get stuck on that same custom recovery logo and i had manually force it open like i did by press and holding the power button until it vibrated..it opened like normal shut down or restart...so i my phone couldn't be formatted so what i did was to download the fastboot version of my phone that i had installed and took the recovery.img file and flashed it through another phone through bugjaeger app..since i don't have a pc that all i could do and it worked the stock recovery came back and i can wipe my data if i want....but if i installed the custom recovery.img once again it won't work and will get stuck like that time so i want a solution where i can get custom recovery back again...and i gave my full story because someone might be in a similar position as me and by doing something that i did might just help them and also i want a solution to get my custom recovery back plz someone help me.....

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Jouyles:
Good morning, afternoon or evening depending on where you are reading me from. As the title says, it seems that my LG G8 Verizon has become a paperweight since it remains in a recovery loop. My LG G8 has the bootloader unlocked with Firehose and QFIL (https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-lg-g8...nlock-and-magisk-root-using-firehose.4221793/), I followed the guide (https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-12l-unofficial-arrowos-12-1-for-lg-g8-alphaplus-alphalm.4354847/) months ago to install the Arrow OS rom and everything worked correctly.

Now the matter in question, days before this week most of my accounts were tried to be violated by a hacker, I don't know where I could have caught the ware but it's done already. Today after several hours in front of the laptop I moved all my accounts, changed passwords and started with one and only gmail and outlook account. To finish everything I decided to factory reset my device, everything seemed to be going well until I saw that it started in the recovery and not in the typical screen after a factory reset. I have little experience in flashing custom roms, the previous times I've flashed everything went as it should and I lived without any problem so right now I don't know what to do.

Every time I enter recovery I get a message on the bottom log saying

"E:failed to clear bcb message: failed to open /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc: no such file in directory".

When I try to make a factory reset from the recovery it says

"Wiping data...

Formatting /data...

E:/system/bin/mke2fs failed with status 1

E:format_volume: Failed to make ext4 on /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata

Success

Formatting /metadata

E:/system/bin/mke2fs failed with status 1

E:format_volume: Failed to make ext4 on /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/metadata

Success

Data wipe failed.

E: failed to clear bcb message: failed to open /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc: no such file in directory".

I really don't know what the problem could be, I already tried to use LGUP to try to go back to my original rom but it stops at 4% and the executable closes. Days before, I deactivated the developer options since it was a requirement of the Malwarebytes app and I know that it is partly my fault for not having activated it again. I can go into download mode by pressing volume up but to the best of my knowledge without debugging and oem unlocked I can't do much. [Edit: Reading the firehose and qfil guide hours later I discovered that the Verizon variant doesn't mention as necessary to turn the oem unlock so maybe a little hope?]

If it helps, I still have the backups of sysnand_00.bin, essential.exefs and some others I made before unlocking the bootloader with firehose and qfil, as well as a zip called "Arrow36backup1647621938922" with a .bak named "launcher_backup_main".

Right now I have no way to upload images of the recovery log that is in the advanced settings of the arrow recovery, I will try to do it later but notice that it is quite long.

I sincerely hope that someone has the slightest idea that it could be happening and I will gladly read it and appreciate your time for giving me a hand.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Jouyles:
At the end of it all it wasn't that hard to solve my problem, it was just that I was afraid of messing it up even more.

After rereading the guides that I had followed months ago and also the various comments, I came to the conclusion that LGUP could solve it, only that I had done it wrong before. It was thanks to this thread that I was able to download a better version of the tool (https://xdaforums.com/t/lgup-1-16-3-patched-found-and-works-with-lg-wing.4357211/) and after following the instructions everything was like new on my device.

If someone else is going through the same problem as me, you can write to me and I will help you with what worked for me.

[OnePlus Nord CE 2] k1nshi:
Hi guys, I would like to root my device but I got some questions about things I don't really understand and some fears of being blocked or ****ing my device during the process.

First of all, I understand that stock boot.img file is different for every device, the fact is that I don't even know where to get it, as most of tutorials I have read and watched seem to assume that I already have it. Secondly, I read tons of posts in there about people that ****ed up something and litterally destroyed their devices, so I would like to be 100% sure of what I'm doing to take the risks the closest possible to 0. Thirdly, I'm pretty new in Android rooting and modding so there are some things I don't understand in tutorials, even if I have experiences in rooting and some kind of "hacking" as I have rooted and changed my switch's OS. So I understand rooting process in itself, it's basically putting the device in conditions where it's vulnerable to outcoming modifications, despite it seems more complicated than on switch (it was basically put it on RCM mode then inject a payload to be able to launch device under another OS) so I would like to understand everything I'm doing to be able to solve some **** that could happens by myself, and if I can't solve it atleast understanding it. Basically right now I have Magisk APK, adb and fastboot installed on my computer (I got kali linux OS), every single stuff on my phone backed up, and the last step is the rooting itself. I understand everything until flashing the special magisk.img file step, because as I understood of the things I read it may causes **** if it isn't built from the good stock boot.img file. The perfect help would be from someone that rooted the same device I got so this person would be able to prevent mistakes I could do based on his past experience.

Well, I hope I haven't wrote too much, and thanks in advance for the help I hope y'all will provide me !

Have a nice day guys :)
[OnePlus Nord CE 2] xXx yYy:
It's a misconception that rooting Android is complicated, can even lead to soft-brick. Rooting is simply adding SU command to Android's pre-installed shell commands ( AKA ToyBox suite ).

hi can any one help me with this one i use infinix hot 11s and it prompted a software update yesterday so i just schedule it for it at 2am i woke up, and the phone is dead, i turned it on and it has a message "dm verity corrupted" it just always says that and its just stuck there, i can boot the recovery mode, i tried factory resetting the phone, but once it restarted its still stuck there i tried doing fix on the youtube, i installed mediatek usb drivers, and sp flash. i installed mediatek auth bypass, i connected my device and for some reason, it always results to "force preloader to boot rom" and it gets stuck on "waiting for mtk brom usb device" even though it is connected. so i just leave it like that. i opened sp flash and put the scatter file, clicked download, plugged my device again, and theres an error which i also doesn't understand. i tried downloading infinix flash tool, it doesn't also worked. almost all videos that i watched and fixed that i saw always didn't work.. so im kinda resorting to adb sideload, but i need a firmware.zip for it and im not sure if the firmware.zip used for sp flash (the one with scatter file) is also the file for abd sideload flashing. can someone tell me if it will work or if not can someone give me a link to a stock firmware for it?, if it doesn't work that way, please help me on sp flashing, i really dont understand what im doing wrong. this is the first time i encountered this problem so im kinda new to it. thanks

[General Questions and Answers] lumyx012:
kinda understand what you're saying now but, the problem is everytime i enter the code, it says "remote: not allowed in locked state" if this is the bootloader, then it is locked, idk how can i open it if i cant access anything except the fastboot and the recovery state
[General Questions and Answers] KidKelko:
you gotta give it the 'fastboot oem get_unlock_code' command and take the string of numbers it spits out and go to the motorola bootloader unlock webpage and input the code into the site. They will email you a code and you use it with 'fastboot oem unlock'

sadly its not on, i dont usually do stuff on this phone, i just play gacha games on it, but yesterday it prompted a software update, and then i woke up, it just says "dm verity corruption" and it will turn off after 5 seconds if i didn't go to fastboot or recovery mode, so i had no way to turn it on.
