Hi - Have you managed to sort anything out yet?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lettor32:
tengo el mismo caso lograste resolverlo?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Functioner:
I was able to reproduce the issue on my device. My device booted to the recovery menu as shown in the OP.

Unfortunately, you're quite correct. There is no way to navigate the menu or execute either of the options shown in the menu. You should ask amazon to replace your device.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clubcard:
Unfortunately it’s 18 months old & all Amazon are prepared to offer is 15% discount..
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Functioner:
The fact that the device could boot to this unrecoverable mode at all is a programming mistake that is the fault of amazon or its agents. The probability of it happening seems to have increased with the newest firmware version, as a few others have posted to xda recently with claims of the same issue. If it becomes more widespread, amazon may be forced to address the matter with something other than a trivial discount. You may want to consider holding on to your device in the event that this happens.

I'm still investigating the matter. There is some evidence in the recovery code of infrared remote code support for the recovery menu, but I blasted a wide range of codes, and there is no evidence in the log that any of them are even being received. I have tested the keyboard possibilities thoroughly, but not exhaustively. I may turn up something later but my confidence level is not high.

OK, thanks. The standard control/alt/delete as used on a PC works in that it reboots the cube. I couldn’t get anything else to work..
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pro-me3us:
What happens if you hold the volume up key on the Cube during boot, to boot to fastboot, connect your computer via USB, and type fastboot continue?

Hi - Will check that out later when I finish work. Thanks..
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clubcard:
Hi - When I re-read your Instructions I couldn’t figure out how to do what you advised. Anyway I made what must have been my 10th phone call to Amazon. It went from them offering me 15% discount, then 20% & then 30%. I said no to all & finally after a lot of polite badgering, they have allowed to me buy a new one & I have an email from Amazon stating that I will get a full refund when my cube is delivered tomorrow 😄
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pro-me3us:
Are they giving you a 3rd gen Cube I didn't think Amazon had any more new 2nd gen Cubes?

@Functioner is right, there does't appear to be any navigation options in that menu. Amazon didn't fully implemented the standard Android recovery menu WITH navigation, which effectively bricks the device.

Amazon is at fault here, however getting them to admit to it is another thing.

Regarding my previous instructions. Holding down the volume up button on the Cube (not the remote) during boot will put the Cube in fastboot mode.

You then need to use your computer with ADB/fastboot installed on it, and issue the fastboot command fastboot continue to the Cube over USB.

I don't know if activation of that recovery menu will prevent the device from booting into fastboot, you'll have to see.

Since you are getting a new Cube, I'd advise you skip the mandatory registration firmware update.

Hi - Yes, it’s a 3rd Gen I’m getting. I had the downloader app & had kodi & few other apps on my 2nd Gen. Will this 3rd Gen not allow me to have any of these 3rd party apps on?

Hello,

I installed a French application called "onoff".

I used it and uninstalled it from my phone.

Yesterday, I reinstalled it and it offered me the option to log in with the email address I used before uninstalling it or to create a new one.

How can it remember the email address I used before uninstalling it?

Since then, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the application several times, and it still suggests the email address.

Thank you.

[Networking] Leith1812:
I've been browsing the internet trying to find a workaround for telus throttling my data after 30GB. I'm on an unlimited plan, and after the 30GB it's reduced to 512kbps. It's useable, but it's not enjoyable. I often see it jump to full speeds, then slowly throttle back down to 425ish kbps.

I'm on iPhone at the moment, but was considering picking up an Android device if it's possible. I've looked at a couple things like Shadowsocks proxy, a http injection technique that disguises data coming and going, but I think that's on a per carrier basis?

All in all, I'm just trying to find a solution to this that could be done on iPhone 4s, SE, or if I need an android device to even consider it. Thanks for the help and sorry for the slightly off topic nature of this.

As the title says, I'm switching from Xiaomi mi 11 and there was a simple way to restrict any app from connecting to internet, the only way I have found so far in my s23u is netguard app, but it uses local VPN which is not the best solution as I am using it already with adaway as an adblocker

I think I would rather carry a battery pack. But to each their own.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
What does that do, double the weight? Lol. The S23 Ultra is already a brick.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] shook187:
I've rather carry nothing but a phone...but some unique situation requires alternative charging options. I weighed out the positives and negative of each I'm giving the charging case a try
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Negan:
For short term it's probably OK to use but on a regular basis it's likely to cause battery degradation. Lithium ion batteries should not be kept at 100 for long periods of time and definitely not on a regular basis. Lfp batteries will hopefully make it into production soon. Those are meant to be charged up to 100 regularly and are able to be kept at 100 without impacting battery health. Same rules apply to my Tesla battery. New ones are cobalt free lfp and are much better.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
Just set the phone to stop charging at 85% and you'll minimize the damage.

I don't understand what is the pro of having this brick around instead of bringing a cheaper more flexible power bank
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] shook187:
There are different instances when this comes in handy instead of a charging brick.

I will be doing my own Mini review soon enough but this video kind of sums up some of its benefits and features
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] volcolm:
Double the weight, double the SAR

Apparently these can make the radios work harder. So hotter antenna, hotter phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jaxom84:
Well, it's up to people's choice at some point. I'd prefer to use a slimmer case and have a power bank on the side (especially since the S23U's battery life is crazy good compared to it S22U counterpart, so you could easily avoid the need to charge it during the day).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mmmbud:
You get used to the size and weight immediately I love it. But mine has a fault it seems to be shorting and crackling so watch out for that.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] oVeRdOsE.:
I've the same seats. swapped in my audi avant. they are fine, but meh for the price. 9/10 for the look tho.

oh back to the topic, eheh. Last time I use zerolemon was for swappable batteries, miss those time !
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
This product can damage the charging port of the phone. I would never get something like this.

I would instead get one of the Chinese phones that support superfast charging (over 100 W) and use it for all activities, except camera. The S23U will be used like a camera. A 20,000 mAh power bank will remain in the bag on standby.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] V0latyle:
Why would this portable charger damage the phone? There are tons of them out there on the market. They just have to support the charging protocol your device uses, such as USB-PD PPS.

It's unlikely that a charger would actually cause damage unless it experienced a fault. I had an Anker PowerCore that I used when I was working on cell towers because I often had to take photos and video of our work. I managed to drop it 150 feet onto an ice bridge, which damaged one of the cells. I pried the damaged cell out as it was overheating and used electrical tape to wrap the shell back together. Still worked great although with slightly lower capacity
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
The Type-C connector is plugged in 24x7 and if the phone is dropped or mishandled, there are chances that it breaks something internally. Plus keep it connected to a power source 24x7 is a bad idea. And on top in everything, this is just too big for any pocket and too bulky for comfortable use.

The costs (in terms of convenience of is use, carrying around, potential for damages, etc.) far outweigh the benefits of keeping the battery charged. There are much better alternatives to this that are much safer and convenient too.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] V0latyle:
Valid points, keeping a lithium battery at 100% SoC tends to shorten its life. This has a power button though, so it only charges the device while it's on. The USB connector is integral with the power bank, though, and because this is a protective case, it's not too likely that an accidental drop or something would cause damage.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] shook187:
So much false information on here!! Imagine being Zero Lemon and making a product that would damage phones?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
Damages are only a potential outcome. But the biggest disadvantage is how much bulky the already big phone becomes. It doesn't matter how big the user's hands are. This product causes more inconvenience for the benefits it provides.

For the price of this case, you could get 3 or 4 powerbanks of 10,000 mAh each. You can keep one in the pocket if you want 😉. It would be far more convenient that way. 😀

But to each his own.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] IAmBatman_1111:
Hi there, I have got my first samsung in years and I am not quite up to date with CSC stuff.

So I bought S23 Ultra which apparently is UAE version (SM-918B/DS)

S918BXXU1AWBD

OXM XSG current CSC.

I want to use european CSC, I tried using SamFW tools, but in supported CSCs, no good options show up (there appear some UK CSCs for example but carrier locked).

Ideally I want to set Austrian or German CSC (Unlocked, no carrier one, also open to CSC suggestions, I want to get the most features but also everything I already have to work).

Can I do that without any root? From my understanding same hardware is sold in EU as model number is the same.

I dont want to trip Knox or do a root.

Can anyone help out and if its possible, then provide some instructions? Thanks

Its just the official Incremental Update direct from OPPO's servers.... same usage as other EDL flashes. If you can get it flashed it will guaranteed unbrick your device. It wipes the entire file system then loads the default OEM fw. No errors capable! If it flashes, you're unbricked

Hello,

I have soft-bricked my 10T after flashing the boot.img.

Now, when I connect it to my PC, I can see the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader.

Any advice on how to get fastboot working again?
[OnePlus 10T 5G] JedidroidX:
Is your phone still bricked? If so, do you have access to the bootlloader? If so, then you can try flashing the boot image and recovery stock image from the firmware you have installed.

Use payload dumper to extract those images and then flash them both in the bootloader. You need the zip file of the firmware to extract those images.

It may give you access to fastbootd, when in fastbootd there's a tool you can use to flash a downgrade firmware to OxygenOS 12 which is what I did. You will lose all data but better then using the phone as a paperweight! Good luck!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] Prettymuchathrowaway:
I figured out a way to do it using SamFW Tool. You need to go through the steps to set up your device until you connect to your WIFI network. After that use SamFW to force the tablet to open Youtube through the tablet's browser. (This is found under the android tab of SamFW) After that you can go to EFRP.me in the search bar and use that site to open the google app. From here, you can use voice controls and tell google to "open phone" and it will bring up the dialer allowing you to dial #*0#* and enter the diagnostic menu on your tablet. And from that point its as easy as using the Remove FRP tool under the Samsung tab of SamFW! I hope that this helps even one person out there!
[General Questions and Answers] hankster112:
Got my OnePlus 9 Pro today, before I start flashing LOS I wanted to ask a couple questions about my Google choices.

Is it possible to not have any Google apps/services on the phone but still have access to the Play Store? I've seen Aurora store mentioned a couple times, but it doesn't seem like it works that well on my current device (searching for apps that I know are there but get no results, etc.). Those apps would likely still rely on Google services and break without them, correct?

Is it possible to use Mozilla's location services instead of Google's?

If no to the above, can I use Google's location services through a proxy?

What are the differences between OpenGApps/MindTheGapps/microG? I'm considering the latter (microG) but it looks like there hasn't been much progress on it and I don't know how functional it will be.

I want as little Google on my phone as possible while still having access to GPS, apps that rely on Google having bare minimum functionality, and privacy. What is the best way to do this?
