[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] iCuba:
Hi there,

when I was used to own my G6 with cyanogen, I was overhelmed what the Google assistant can do. Nowadays it feels like Samsung manipulate the assistant for the benefit of Bixby.

For example:

- Music runs (even very silent) - no response

- Timer is over and I ask Google to switch it of - "you can do this in the app" - no I don't want to do this in the app cause I'm bakinging here with my hands!

- and the most terrifying - it stopped to react offline, so my morning routine which I used for 2 years does not work anymore.

How this could happen?

Can anyone help please?

Greetings

I recently bought the US version of 10T, which is branded as one sim. I noticed that the Europe version has a double sim. Would it be possible to flash International rom, get a double sim tray, and use the second sim? The inside looks like it has pins on both sides, and I am not sure if there are any hardware differences except the sim tray

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] comm-ents:
I have tried to install Lineage but so far I have not had any luck. I was able to get the install to work after modifying a file to remove the "assert" lines, but once the install is completed, I am stuck in a boot loop and am no longer able to use TWRP from the phone as the touchscreen isn't working after booting into recovery.

It seems that it is possible to restore a backup in TWRP from the command line, but the twrp command line guide isn't real helpful for me.

restore PARTITION-TO-RESTORE BACKUP-NAME :

restore PARTITION-TO-RESTORE from existant BACKUP-NAME:

PARTITION-TO-RESTORE, multiples selection allowed:

S: system,

D: data,

C: cache,

R: recovery,

B: boot,

A: and-sec,

E: sd-ext,

M: skip md5 check.

BACKUP-NAME: could be full path or name of twrp backup in current twrp backup folder.

Backup can't be encrypted.

So I am guessing that I have to mount the microsd first and then provide the path to the backup in the format that TWRP requires to restore that backup. Anyone have any input on how this could be done?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] ze7zez:
Since the touch doesn't work in TWRP, it's likely that the ROM.zip wasn't good for this model either.

Read old archives that better explain the use of commands in twrp.

Thanks for the reply. I just found another way to get TWRP working by attempting to use Huanwei's multi download software and even though it ultimately failed, I was still able to use TWRP from the phone again. Unfortunately even though the phone is supposed to be a supported model, I still can't use anything bu the stock firmware as trying to install other ROM's just results in Error 7. I just recently purchased it, but I think there is something different about it so I can't install any other ROMS.

It would be a lot less guessing if there was an example like in the older documentation...

restore /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/*serialno*/myrom (Would restore all partitions found in "myrom")

restore /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/*serialno*/myrom DM (Would restore only the data partition in "myrom" and skip MD5 checking)

so I could have done resotre /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/*/*

with no extra switches.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] simonerolly80:
Hi everyone, I am here to ask a very simple question: is there a way to S-OFF an HTC 10 without using Sunshine?

To be more specific: this is not because I don't wanna pay the $25 fee, because I already did back in 2017, but it's because that after S-ONing and relocking the phone to send it back to HTC for a service to the main camera, I never bothered to S-OFF it again. The problem is that, right now, when I try to S-OFF using Sunshine I get the very common message Sunshine is behaving in an unusual way on your device. Please contact support and give them this number: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (your IP address).

The issue is: I tried to contact Sunshine's Tech support in many different ways: by live chat, email and ticketing system, but I never received an answer, since I suppose that whoever was maintaining that application probably stopped doing so since as much as it pains me saying this, HTC is not relevant anymore in the Android smartphone market, stopping with the HTC U11 being it's last true flagship.

So, is there any way to get Sunshine working again without tech support, or is there any way to perform the S-OFF procedure without using Sunshine?

Many thanks guys!
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] marcjero:
Hi,

my x722 is stopping randomly. Most of the time this happens when the device is not in use. But once I had a freeze in Chrome.

When the device stops unexpectedly it's quite hard to boot it again. I have to press the power button for about 10-20s to make it boot. But most of the time the boot sequence fails and the device reboots. When the boot fails the display is grayed. Looks very weird. After a while it boots again and works fine until a new hard stop happens.

Battery was replaced few months ago and I run Lineage OS for a long time now.

Is it a hardware issue ? Is there a way to catch the reason of the shutdown ?

[General Questions and Answers] Tormato72:
I have an old Samsung Galaxy Tab A (specific model in the title), and sadly, T-Mobile/Samsung updated Android up to 5.0.2. It is also a very slow tablet, given its hw.

Does anyone know about any Android/Linux Distro that could run in this tablet? LineageOS?
[General Questions and Answers] Tormato72:
I partially agree.

As you know, many manufacturers' Android distros come bloated, so a Vanilla one, with no vendor's "extra services" may help.

There is also the factor that most applications are no longer supported in it due to the Android version. For example, I'm a fan of termux, and I use it extensively in my phone, but the only way to install the latest versions is via F-Droid, and either F-Droid, or its version of termux (I don´t remember which one at this time), don´t work with Android 5.0.2.

I'm just trying to breath a little more life to this old tablet, so I can donate it to anyone that needs it. If I can't I will just throw it away.

github.com

It has a description of each app and which ones it recommends you to remove.
[Motorola Edge 30] JonW434:
The ones on that list are disabled by default (I think), I uninstall them.

With Shizuku (wireless debugging on) and App Freezer Lite you can trial and error the ones that you aren't sure about. ADP App Control works too, I like to use them both. I like to use App Freezer for trial and error and ADB App Control for saving and loading the presets once the right settings are discovered.

I've been doing this with a few tablets and phones lately and I've found it best to trial and error and create your own list based on your use case. If the phone fails to boot, you can always factory reset it and use Google Backup to restore settings and call history etc.

A lot of apps aren't actually bloat, it's just it's a preference thing.. for example using default calculator or using a third party calculator? Some services are essential and others are optional. Are you trying to free up RAM or storage space? Some can be disabled, some can be uninstalled. It's really a preference thing. For example you can disable all printer services but you might be the person who likes to print things off your phone.. so leave it on. You can always enable them again if you need them.

On Lenovo tablets, I've sometimes had situations where if you disable some system apps, the OS won't load and I needed to factory reset once or twice, but haven't had that with Motorola so far. Some system apps aren't possible to disable though due to permissions.. I've found Motorola quite restrictive but it also means less chance of factory reset.

I also recommend a private DNS server to block ads and trackers. For example AdGuard DNS or NextDNS.. there are free options, but you can control which sites are blocked and which are enabled and it doesn't use any app or run in the background consuming RAM.

[Moto G Stylus 5G] merx773:
Hello everyone,

So I've noticed some people have been complaining about the battery life on their phones, I've gone through the same woes and complaints with every Android phone I've ever owned. Here's what I do do get a much improved battery life... Some of this is non specific so you might need to find out if your version supports these features. None of this requires root access.

#1 First thing I do with any new phone is catch all the updates, not through the Android OTA feature, but I'll run it through whatever recovery software that the manufacturer has available to get it up to speed with the most recent version.

#2 After the update I'll carefully charge it to 100%. By carefully I mean not leave it on the charger overnight or for more than a couple hours after it hits 100%. Don't let the charge drop below 20% and don't charge it beyond 80% for a few days unless your device has a smart charging feature like ours does. The system is learning out habits.

Also, be sure to use the charger it comes with. Anything else might charge it in Turbo Mode and while our devices and batteries support this feature, be mindful of your use. It could possibly cause the battery to loose capacity more quickly over time.

#3 Keep Bluetooth and Wifi off if you aren't using them or you don't live somewhere where you're able to grab hotspots on the go (Comcast, Xfinity, these have so many hotspots in some big cities -Chicago does - it might make sense to leave them on here to save on data. Make sure if you're using Xfinity that you research creating a hotspot profile so your phone can do it automatically - there's an Xfinity app for that)

#4 Our phones also have an option for "extra dim" screens. This finesses the brightness just enough and should save power too. Please be mindful of your eyesight though.

#5 Heavy users - gamers, having Facebook polling for updates, and other programs can be working hard in the background. After a few days to a week, I'd check your battery stats and see what's eating up the charge and potentially limiting those apps or install the "lite" versions.

#6 Less nervous fiddling with the phone. I'm one of those people who have their phones in hand all day long. I started putting it down when I wasn't actually using it, and keeping it in pocket or elsewhere. Too much playing with the keys I noticed I was constantly turning the screen on and off. That will definitely use up a little more charge. Don't worry, your phone won't miss you! It's ok to not pay attention to it when it's not in use. It'll let you know when you have a text, call or whatever if you turn the volume up :)

That's about all I do on my phone and I easily get a full day if not more (unless I'm excessively playing a game all day). This has been true for me on any Android phone I've owned across the board since using this approach.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhilz:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8010. One day it suddenly stopped booting Android and wouldn't pass the first screen (it didn't even reach the one with only the Samsung logo, only the one that says "Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1"). I booted into recovery mode and tried to factory reset, but I got this error: "E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)." So I followed this guide: https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-fix-e-failed-to-mount-efs-invalid-argument.2858056/

Here is where the problem begins. When I rooted to remove the factory mode (just following the guide), I did it using CF-Auto Root. But then my tablet stopped booting to Android (again, not passing the first screen), and when I try to boot into recovery mode, the CF-Auto Root screen boots instead (even after flashing stock firmware and TWRP). On this screen, it says the following:

CF-Auto-Root

Then nothing happens. It still doesn't boot into Android, and if I try to access recovery mode, I get to the same CF-Auto Root screen. I can only access Download Mode, but I don't know what to flash to solve the problem. As I said, I tried flashing the stock firmware and TWRP (when I did that, Odin said PASS!).

I have been using Odin 3.10 and flashing this firmware https://sfirmware.com/es/samsung-gt-n8010/ (ARO). I also tried with a firmware downloaded through Frija (probably the same one).

I think that's everything. If I missed any information, please let me know.

Any help is welcome!

Thanks,

[General Questions and Answers] Lost-Entrepreneur439:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Discover, it's my old childhood phone and for the memories, I want to make it as usable as I can now, however I basically can't do anything internet related with it as it runs Android Ice Cream Sandwich (which I will be shortening to ICS for the rest of this post), ICS has certificate issues which you can't do anything about, to use anything internet related you need Jellybean (also has certificate issues but not as bad as ICS and they can be updated unlike ICS) or KitKat (has all modern certificates), however the Discover only has ICS ROMs, there was a Jellybean ROM at one point however the link is dead and I can't find an archive of it. I know it's possible to get Jellybean and KitKat on the Discover because the Galaxy Ace Plus has both Jellybean and KitKat ROMs, and the Ace Plus and Discover are basically the same phone, and I did spend a bit of time trying to port a CyanogenMod 10 ROM for the Ace Plus to the Discover, but I'm just too inexperienced with ROM porting and making ROMs and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, so after I ran into an issue I couldn't find any details about on Google, I just gave up and went back to ICS.

If anyone could explain how to make a ROM (whether it be making my own ROM from scratch or porting an already existing ROM like CyanogenMod) for the Discover or even make a ROM for me, I'd be super thankful, preferably I want Jellybean as this is a super cheap phone and I don't think KitKat will run very well on it, however if KitKat is easier to get running I'll do KitKat. The exact model number of the phone is SGH-S730M. I have access to computers running macOS, Windows and Linux. (figured that'll be helpful to know if I need to make a ROM)
[General Questions and Answers] Lost-Entrepreneur439:
That page doesn't help. The first guide linked there requires you getting the device tree, vendor, and kernel from GitHub, and since the Discover is an obscure device, I highly doubt any of that stuff is on GitHub, I'd have to pull it from a pre-existing ICS ROM or something (but idk how to do that), and on the second page linked there I don't see any sort of guide.

IGNORE THIS GUIDE IF YOU CAN BOOT TO 9008 MODE USING A SPECIAL EDL CABLE.

May this guide help other POCO F4 GT/K50 Gaming users/technicians/developers in case of hard-brick due to software issues.

You may do this at your own, but I strongly recommend to go to Xiaomi/POCO/Redmi repair shop/Service Centers or to a certified technician in case of hard brick to properly diagnose the problem of your device.

How to boot to 9008 Mode using test point method:

1. Disconnect your phone from PC.

2. Disconnect battery flex (you need to disconnect this because the other test point is under this flex).

3. Press and Hold and short 2 pin via pincet or tweezers.

4 . Connect USB cable (preferably use the cable provided from the box).

5. When the device vibrates, release the pincet or tweezers and connect the battery flex fast. (On my first try, device exits 9008 Mode if you haven't connected the battery within 10-15 seconds).

I will not include on this post how to install Qualcomm Drivers. You may search the forums/internet for that.
