Hello.

Any help on removing this security measure? Bought 2nd hand. It was in german language and wanted PIN to enter.

I flashed a ROM with flashtool. It started and then came this surprise.

Any method to unlock this device?

btw volume up or down + power does not bring an android logo where you can wipe cashe and such things. One of the two combinations makes only vibration but nothing happens. The other simply powers up the phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sony007:
:( I bought a connection for my diamond to connect to the aux input of my car stereo sort of hoping that it would work by allowing me to use the car speakers to speak & listen from phone, listening was not a problem, crystal clear but the person on the other end could not hear me. Is there an easy way to get this sorted? My stereo does not have bluetooth.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peterc10:
Depends on what sort of "connection" you have bought and how it works. Is it meant to be a handsfree unit, in which case it should come with its own microphone?

Or is it a USB type headset lead unit that is only meant to be used as a means of playing music via the car stereo, in which case you probably can't attach a microphone and can't use it as a handfree unit.

The way to sort it is to buy a bluetooth handsfree unit complete with microphone. These communicate with your phone using bluetooth and can either have their own amp and speaker or be wired into your car audio (usually via the phone facility in the DIN connector on the back of the car unit).

If you want to use for both phone calls and listening music it is best to get one that supports multiple Bluetooth profiles, including handsfree and A2DP.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] a66b:
Hi,

My S20FE purchased on a website come with a US Rom SAOMC_SM-G781U1_OYM_XAA_13_0011XAA/XAA/ATT

It seems that i can't use 5G even if i set the proper settings (i'm living in France)

Question 1 :

I've checked, both the G781B and G781U1 have the same hardware.

So i was guessing that the issue could be solved flashing a EU/FR (XEF) ROM

What do you think about it?

Question 2 :

I tried flashing but get stuck with the "secure pit failed" (The only options ticked are F. Reset Time and Auto-Reboot.)

I 've read that a "patched" Odin version may solve this issue.

Can someone provide some help ?

Thanks :)

Hi all, I noticed that if I play audio files, present on the phone and accessible via "My files", therefore via the player supplied with the Nord 2T, after 30 seconds in which the screen is active, playback stops and upon unlocking the screen the track returned to the beginning.

Do you know if there is a way to allow media playback even after screen lock?
[Windows 11] IulianMarian:
Hello. I want to install Windows 11 and I activated TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled. But when I restart my computer and I checked (with System Information) the Secure Boot is disabled. I try for many times to enabled but everytime is disabled when I restart computer. Legacy Boot was disabled because I can't enabled Secure Boot and the partition is GPT not MBR. What can I do to stay enabled? Thank you!

My PC is HP Pavilion 590-P0027nq.
[Windows 11] applesnake:
By restart, you mean Save and exit the BIOS, right? Reset the BIOS, or the other option Load Defaults. Clearing CMOS could be better but I guess you can't open the PC since it's a pre-built. Not sure if your cleaning utilities or anti-virus messing with the system so turn them off temporarily.
[Windows 11] IulianMarian:
Of course Save and Exit. I try all you say without Clearing Cmos and I don't try..

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamyamR:
Thank you very much, the newer version of TWRP apparently fixed the mistake. Afterwards, the installation of Rome 20220709 seems to have been successful. After that I made "Wipe Dalvik-Cache" and restarted the system. Now, however, the boot process apparently is fixed. A symbol has been running for 15 minutes - circle that runs on a circular arch.

What to do?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8nole:
Not sure about that specific version of the rom, but that sounds like the normal boot process after dalvik has been wiped. It can take a really long time to finally boot.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamyamR:
It still tries to boot. Should I interrupt it - and if, how?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamyamR:
Now everything is fine. I switched off the device, wiped the cache again and reinstalled the ROM. The device is like new, runs wonderfully under Android 7.1. Thanks again!

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] smra97:
Hello. I'm a newbie to these kinds of things. This secondhand phone that I bought has a HavocOS, so I've been meaning to change it. I successfully got ArrowOS 12.1 for my phone, but then I couldn't access TWRP (screen remains at the TWRP 3.23 logo). I assumed that perhaps I should reinstall the TWRP, so I tried to follow the guide in https://twrp.me/asus/asuszenfonemaxprom1.html. My phone successfully entered into fastboot mode, but when I enter the "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" command, it says <waiting for any devices> . Where did I go wrong and how do I fix this?

Thank you in advance.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Mike_bg:
I've done something wrong on my HTC Polaris (XDA Orbit 2) and I decided to flash the ROM. It wouldn't boot the Windows. It's stuck on Welcome screen.

After reading most of that forum I downloaded the things I need and tried it.

Weell, that's where the problems started. The PC is not detecting the phone, so niether the MTTY nor ROMUpdateUtility are able to connect to it. (active Sync is disabled ofcourse). I cannot flash the Hard SPL or do anything.

Then I tried to flash from MicroSD. Formated it to Fat32, Renamed the ROM I needed and ... nothing. When I press the camera button and the reset button with the stylo, there is a quick flash of the bootloader screen (the 3 colore screen). So quick that I cant read the 3 lines on it.

Can anyone suggest something, please.....

Ok, so I first had to fix my corrupted boot.img. Flashing TWRP while boot.img is corrupted does not work, it will not start to recovery.

After I fixed the boot.img issue, the TWRP flashed and started OK.

[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Haskren:
I never bothered with proper cases on my phones, but as the Vivo is likely to need repair back in China in case of an accident, I'm looking for a way to keep it secure.

I was about to order a screen protector but seems it comes with one attached already.

While the case looks great, I'm not confident it does much to protect the phone if it falls. Looking at ebay and amazon gives me a couple of options, but not much choice - have any of you bought a case, and if so, which one?

The most exposed part at risk of scratches is the camera unit. Ideally I would like a tempered glass protector with cutouts rather than covering the lenses with a full glass piece, but seems it doesn't exist for the Vivo yet

View attachment 5849019

Thought of one of these, but wondering if it will cover the laser.

View attachment 5849021
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] extremecarver:
the laser should be cutout - those pictures are wrong from what others have been delivered. Luckily the flash is not in the module - because otherwise this metal protector would destroy any picture with flash as flash through a cutout still gives reflextions.

Quite a few people had horrible pictures on other phones and diddn't realise it happens because of auto flash and reflection from the lens protection back onto the sensor.

There is no Spigen case for the X90 Pro+.

I don't trust cases without air pockets (or two part cases with inner foam/outer carbon/aramaid) - and the case I have a silicon case with airpockets has horrible haptics - as the airpockets stick out - so other stuff in my pockets often gets stuck on them. Also makes for sharp edges... It feels pretty safe for protection but is too bulky...

Also the screen protector is low quality. it scratches very easily and has problems sticking onto the phone in subzero humid conditions.

And yeah - for my use I need something covering the space inbetween the lenses - just a cutout like the original cover even if more elevated I will surely scratch the camera cover glas.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Haskren:
At first I didn't realise it had a screen protector and was shocked to see micro scratches after simply dusting it off.

Will try to find a better quality protector and my search for a more secure case continues
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] extremecarver:
UV film protectors are recommended in China for screen protection. They are hard to get outside China I guess in the right cut however.

Because yes the default one really is low quality. If I would not plan to sell this phone as soon as possible I would have ripped it off already.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] carlsmad:
I have this one installed.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] o4komodo:
I didn't want to make a separate thread and didn't see anything about it---but is there a screen protector on from factory?

Mine definitely has a film on it... but I tried for 5 minutes trying to pick at it to install a glass protector. Couldn't even get it to lift (being extra careful 'cause it's REALLY on there).

As for body I bought quite a few from aliexpress. I'm a fan of the aramid fiber ones but they don't offer that much protection in reality. Just wish they were magnetic capable like the pitaka cases.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Tiverask:
@o4komodo Yes, in my experience, all Chinese smartphones come with a screen protector pre-installed. Keep in mind that aftermarket screen protectors can negatively affect the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] o4komodo:
Oh yeah forgot that was a thing.

I put my glass screen over the phone (with the original screen protector and under film on) and it won't register. (not a good test since it has 2 plastic films to go through before the glass) Don't want to risk removing the films and applying the glass in case the fingerprint sensor doesn't work.

I do have two types though. The traditional one and the one that requries UV curing.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Haskren:
The film that comes with the phone is crap. Scratches in no time, cheap plastic.

I ordered some hard wearing protective film through ebay
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] o4komodo:
Tried picking at it for a while with my finger nail while being careful. It didn't wanna come off.

Did you use film or glass for your new screen protector? I only have glass. I know it's usually okay for Samsung. Hopefully it'll be the same here.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Haskren:
I received my new screen protector - absolute rubbish, threw it straight in the bin as it can bend to follow the curvature of the screen. And fingerprint not working.

Must be a scam:

View attachment 5865243

View attachment 5865245
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] sniperwolf101:
Did you re scan your finger after applying the protector? Found a post about the S21u and sS23u that had same issue and majority was down to that. Or to straight up get a hydrogel one.

Seems ultrasonic fingerprint readers and screen protectors don't like each other and cause a few issues anyway according to what they're all saying over there
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Haskren:
Didn't bother trying as the item doesn't fit at all
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] extremecarver:
The only kind of screen protectors recommended for the Ultra Sonic fingerprint reader are simple foils, or UV tempered glass protectors (those you put the glue below, press on the glass, then use a UV light to cure them on).

Or use a spray on/glue protector - or nothing. Because yeah the default one is rubbish and scratches very easily / even worse than scratches are roughed spots that decrease the display visibility much more which appear with use.

If it doesn't come off - put your phone in a humid bag into the fridge. Hiking in humind climate around 0° the original protector always gets loose.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Haskren:
Guess the glass is hard wearing so will take my chances.

Was thinking; since the X90 pro is sold in Europe, do you think it's possible to get them to do a repair (ie lens cover crack) instead of sending back to China? Lens cover size looks the same as the pro. Even a light scratch can ruin the image quality.

Hopefully won't be necessary
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] extremecarver:
From what I heard before vivo Europe doesn't handle Chinese devices, except if you get vivo China to initiate it (by chatting in Chinese with a vivo rep in China).

I'm not sure how hard the lens surface is. I don't think it's really hard glass. It's quite frustrating there is no single case I think that isn't either huge or unsafe. There is a case like the stock one with camera cover but like stock it doesn't have air pockets. Found a case with not sticking out air pockets but it misses any cover on the lense. And then there are covers with air pockets but they stick out and are uncomfortable/get caught easily... And no I don't trust single piece aramid covers. Good ones consisting of outside with rubber inside don't exist either....
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] sniperwolf101:
Did any of you guys manage to find a decent screen protector in the end?
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Haskren:
I just got a better case with a higher lip protecting the camera module. As always, after a few weeks owning a new phone, I am more relaxed:)

https://amzn.eu/d/9Pl1hiA
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Haskren:
Ah yes, saw that. I just think it covers up what is otherwise a beautiful phone. But optimal protection!
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] extremecarver:
I wouldn't call that optimal at all. No air pockets so on falling down much worse vs a silicone case with air pockets in corners. I would guess it's only half as protective (fall height) vs a silicone case. Of course it will be enough against scratches and surely help a bit on falls.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Haskren:
I agree it's not great protection against falls but it's better than the flimsy Vivo case. Twice as thick and rubbery.

I don't want a case that hides the phone so settled for this compromise
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] extremecarver:
Yes the original cover is basically useless. I agree on that. Anything should be better.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Bl3s:
