[Google Pixel 6a] Doudouche:
Hello, I've recently bought a pixel 6a and got a huge battery drain. I've tried to factory reset, install custom ROM, disable everything I could but nothing worked. I'm checking current the is being used every second and notice that it's been between 300ma and 'a lot' but never under 300ma and the phone heats a lot ! (Battery looses 7% per h screen off and between 25% et 30% screen on from what I remember).

At last, I've tried to put the SIM card from another phone into the pixel 6a and notice a decrease of current to something similar to what I've got on my previous phone.

I'm going to ask for a new SIM card and check if something change.

If you experiencing battery drain without success on resolving it ? Could you try to switch to another SIM card and see if there any changes ?

Thanks 🙏
[Google Pixel 6a] Zaxx32:
Hmmm...

or maybe this...

Pixel users see severe battery drain, overheating (Update: Google response)

Several Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series users are reporting battery drain problems as well as overheating issues on their phones.

www.androidauthority.com
[Google Pixel 6a] Doudouche:
Interesting, indeed.

Don't know the link between sim card change and Google app issue but hope it will resolve the issue.

I'll try the update as soon as it is available.

Thx for the link.
[Google Pixel 6a] Doudouche:
Seems that despite the fix deployed by Google, I still notice battery drain ...

I retried a sim card switch with someone else and the consumption decreased (see yellow bar above)

[Google Pixel 6a] TheMystic:
Very much a possibility.

Is the other SIM from the same mobile service provider?
[Google Pixel 6a] Doudouche:
The first one wasn't but the second one is the same.
[Google Pixel 6a] TheMystic:
It does point to a problem with that sim card. Try getting a replacement SIM to see if the problem is resolved.
[Android TV General] Anthony511:
I have a Hisense 55RG. My TV was working completely fine, until I decided to choose the “setup wizard” option in the settings under “support.”

My TV was already setup perfectly, but curiosity got the better of me.

It asked me to restart my TV to start the setup wizard process. Since then, I’ve been stuck in a setup wizard loop. I cannot get past the “Improve your TV” section, as when I click yes/no I am met with a blank grey screen and can’t do anything.

I have tried unplugging the TV for various periods of time, anywhere from 10 mins to an entire day, but that has not fixed anything.

I have looked in every forum, subreddit, used 50+ different worded combinations in Google to try and find a solution to this but I can’t find anything.

I do not know any remote button combinations to open up service/recovery menu’s but if anyone knows of any for this Remote then that’d be very helpful.

I am in the midst of trying to contact Hisense for support but it’s hard to get ahold of them, and I’ve been recommended other support websites but they cost $40-$50 which I am not paying.

If anyone has anything that’d be really helpful. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers] sdtdmr:
My a20s phone freezes a lot. I want to downgrade the android version or install a non-slip version. I'm waiting for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers] qwertyuiop1289:
Just flash older stock rom with Odin as usual. This device, as I know, does not have unlockable bootloader, but you can still flash stock rom as it does not require it.

EDIT: You can't do it if you are on latest security patch. After upgrade to 1st December 2022 version, you can't flash anything anymore. Although, there is an option to unlock bootloader in the pre-download screen when OEM unlocking is enabled.

I'll do some experiments with this tool, it may be helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] m0byn:
Hi everyone,

I debloated my Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 using this guide right after a fresh install of Android 10. Unfortunately, I cannot find the APN settings anymore. Could anyone help me out which package I need to reactivate to find these settings again?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] m0byn:
ANSWER: if anyone is facing the same problem. You have to reinstall com.samsung.android.app.telephonyui by using the command cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.app.telephonyui

Then, the "mobile network" setting appears again, and one is able configure APNs and such.

IMO this package should NOT be removed from any Samsung device!
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] mcgradylu:
Does anyone still have an old version rom copy for moto g5s of android 8.1.0 or 9, but without the following 'Can't copy file from device to PC' bug?

Like Android Ice Cold Project AICP OS (The call recorder of it (AICP 16.1 android 11) is the best I've tested in the third part rom. The sound recorded from it is very clear and loud enough. While the sound recorded in lineageos is neither too noisy nor too low to hear it. )

I've just started flashing third party rom recently. I flash more than 20 roms these days (different versions and builds).

Finally, I want to stay in android 8.1 or 9 for a good battery life.

I'm quite disappointed with lineageos. There is a big bug in lineageos 15.1 ,16.0, and 17.1! We can't copy any file from the device to PC via usb cable! The bug has been there since lineageos 15.1 (android 8.1.0), through lineageos 16.0 (android 9), only in lineageos 17.1 build 20201115, which is the second from last version of lineageos 17.1 was it fixed! What the h-e-l-l!

Since the other third part roms use lineageos to build their roms, they take the same bug to their roms!!! That is a disaster!

What's worse, they increased ZRAM to 1.33G in lineageos 17.1 build 20201115, which turns out to help nothing for the perfromance improvement but only to make the battery even worse! Ironically, my xt1799-2's front camera can only work since that build! D-a-m-n!:mad: Does someone know how to remove the ZRAM permanently? I can remove it using 'Scene 4' app temporarily. After restart the device, it will come back. Can developers remove ZRAM from the build or tell us how to remove it from our device?

Last but not least, they deleted some useful fingerprint gestures in lineageos 17.1, such as 'screen-off: long hold fingerprint to turn on display' and 'screen-on: long hold fingerprint to turn off display'. These two gestures I've been using since lineageos 15.1 (android 8.1.0)!!! I choose lineageos because of them! I don't know what the lineageos team is thinking about. That's why I don't want to use lineageos anymore! I want to find the old verion of AICP roms!

I did a test before (not too long ago, just less than a month ago) in moto stock 8.1.0 oreo rom. It still has 20% battery after 8 day!!!

View attachment 5911855

This is moto stock oreo 8.1.0 rom. With the same settings. I use IceBox app to freeze almost all the app, and some system app like bluetooth, nfc, ...

I do the same thing in lineageos 18.1, but the battery can't bear 2 days in aeroplane standby mode!

The following screenshots are from lineageos 18.1 (android 11):

100%-2%-2%-2%-1%=68% ?????:mad:

I don't think people who uses snapdragon 430 device for a performance.

So a good battery life should be the top priority.
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] chris@xda:
I guess you will find a good solution soon
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] mcgradylu:
Lineageos? I have flashed almost all of them just to find which build not having the copy bug. Only receive a disappointing result. The developer keeps the files in github. 15.1, 16, 17.1 are buggy, which I've said above. 18.1 has solved the copy bug, but battery is terrible!

I'm now staying in lineageos 15.1 for a longer battery and for the 64bit. I can bear the front camera not working. But I can't bear the 'unable to copy file from device to pc' bug. Thank god the model has a tf card slot. I can copy the files to the tf card in the device. Can you image those devices without a tf card slot and at the same time have this bug?! That's a disaster!

I dislike clicking the images to zoom in and out mainly for the reason that it's very inefficient, especially when the images are more than 5 pieces and they're quite similar in thumbnail mode. It just wastes time for the readers to zoom in and out to check the information in the images! Thumbnail mode is just designed for twitter or something like that, but not quite suitable for forum.
[Honor Magic4 Pro] Diggia:
Hello guys,

I ve recently bought the Magic 5 Pro (i know this is Magic 4 Pro forum section but there isn't a specific area for Magic 5 Pro...) and i want to import in my Magic 5 Pro some AOD from my previous P40 Pro.

I think it could be possible but i don't lnow which is the folder path of Honor AOD ....

Thanks in advance for any suggestion ;)
[Honor Magic4 Pro] volkodav1975:
Parse the Huawei theme (add at the end .zip).

Find the com.huawei.aod file there and rename it to com.hihonor.aod

Remove from the topic at the end .zip

Ready
[Honor Magic4 Pro] Diggia:
Thanks volkodav1975 for your reply !

I just have backup of all the Huawei P40 Pro AOD.

In my Honor i have com.hihonor.aod folder (inside there are 2 sub-folders: cache and files).

Where should i move all my AOD ?

Thanks
[Honor Magic4 Pro] volkodav1975:
Only as I showed above. It doesn't give anything to the AOD folder.
[Honor Magic4 Pro] Diggia:
Ok, i try. Thank you so much !
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Xila123:
Hello XDA,

I wonder if someone can help me with my issue in my S22 ULTRA. Each time I wear something tight or I get into a vehicle under some pumpy roads. I notice my phone power get clicked 3 times and calls the emergency service. It is weird and embarrassing and I noticed I cannot toggle this future off.

Is there any solution to my problem ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheMystic:
Have you installed the Indian ROM? In India, this is mandatory for all smartphones.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Xila123:
Oh yeah, I remember I did that once for the calls recording feature. Is there a way around this or I'll need to reinstall the ROM back to its original one?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheMystic:
Reinstalling the ROM for another region is the only way.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Xila123:
Thank you TheMystic, I will do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] patdude1234:
Got an ex review Galaxy fold 4 which had not been wiped before I was given it. I factory resetted it, but it needs the gmail and gmail password from the previous owner... is there any way to byoass this or will it simply be easier to chase up the previous owner?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] methuselah:
first who knows how you have got the device? You really new owner or what someone trying to hack into hte device. Kindly reach out the old owner. or do your own research.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] dirtybudha:
Let's be reasonable. Telling us you need the account info from the previous owner is a HUGE red flag. That means is was never factory reset when it was...sold/given/stolen to/by...you. So do understand we are not a community that will assist anyone with a stolen device.

That said, methuselah is correct. You should research the issue instead of asking for help via a vague post. You COULD take it to your carrier's store and have them assist you. Honestly, that's the best route. Take the proof of purchase with you to show it's not stolen.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] patdude1234:
Of course. That is totally reasonable, For background, I am a reviewer and Samsung's local PR firm forgot to reset the phone before couriering it to me (which is incredibly frustrating). I have reached out to their PR team, but it is taking forever to get this resolved Meanwhile I have a shiny galaxy fold 4 sitting there that is unusable
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] 小林 卍:
there are ways but FBI would raid me if I tell u...

nice try tho
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] patdude1234:
I'm sending it back to Samsung to be swapped out for a fresh review sample...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] WoKoschekk:
That's FRP (factory reset protection). Background: Let's pretend that your mobile device got stolen. The first thing a thief will do is to reset the phone, because without knowing the correct display pattern the device is pretty useless (and it's very hard to sold in that state :) ). Since the settings menu is also unreachable with a locked display the thief is forced to reset the phone via recovery mode. This mode must be always accessible by pressing the right key combo in case you are in serious trouble with an unbootable device. Doing it that way, the following setup of the device requires a login to the last active Google account to verify the owner.

This verification step is also required if you do a factory reset in your settings menu. But here the verification is done

before

you delete everything by entering your display pattern. This will disable FRP for the following reset because you have then verified that this device is yours.

As a reviewer of the phone, you must have contact to a person of Samsung's local PR firm. Talk to her/him and get a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] patdude1234:
Yes as mentioned above that is exactly what I am doing...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] dirtybudha:
Thanks for the follow up, that all sounds fine. It just helps to give more information.

Yes, if you contacted Sammy and they are replacing it, then you found the best route. Good luck on the review.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] EranNavick:
Sharing frustration of all ends. Got a refurbished Sammy phone on Amazon, it arrived with someone's pwd on it. I bought it as a backup phone for the office so we discovered it outside the 90 days warranty and could not have sent back. I have the receipt, it is AMAZON selling it, and I have a brick on my desk. Nice, isn't it?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] joancolmenares:
If the phone arrived like that from Amazon, return to Amazon ASAP
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] JazonX:
Remove FRP is just a YouTube Click away ...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] adi518:
Hey all, I'm trying to unlock my Chinese 11 ultra, without luck so far. It worked in the past, but I was impatient to wait for the unlock timer to end, so I left it with the factory rom. However, now I need Android Auto, and unsurprisingly, that built-in app seems to be excluded from the Chinese rom, so I have no choice but to unlock and flash the global/eu rom. I dl'ed the latest Mi Unlock tool (the official one ofc) and it just doesn't seem to detect the phone when it's in Fastboot mode. I mean, screw the tool, Windows just doesn't make that detection ping, so definitely something wrong with the drivers. I tried to install them through the tool, but it doesn't seem to work. Expectedly, I can connect the phone under normal boot, without installing anything (MTP mode, etc' seems to work fine). Ideas?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] infamas:
I had that problem too. Your USB cable must be original xiaomi. Try different USB ports on your PC. Install different drivers.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] adi518:
You were right on time. I reached a dead end, where the cable seems the last thing to check. I was using a good Baseus cable, but it didn't work. I changed to an original Xiaomi cable I got with my 67W charger. Works like a charm. FFS.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] infamas:
I got the same problem: 1st I was not using the original cable, then I had to try a different USB port. You're welcome :)

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. LineageOS does still include various proprietary hardware-specific code.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Information

This ROM uses source built kernel, kernel modules, and vendor image.

This ROM bundles the latest firmware so you don't have to worry about updating firmware.

To use the eSIM you need to have GApps

Instructions

Follow https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/lynx/install for how to install

Downloads

Official Builds

Optional GApps: MindTheGapps

Reporting Bugs

Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)

If it is a random reboot, grab /sys/fs/pstore/*

If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log

Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved.

Known Issues

Face Unlock, because Google doesn't provide an AOSP option.

Great
[Google Pixel 7a] Wishmasterflo:
Great. Thanks. Just got my Pixel 7a today. :)
[Google Pixel 7a] sumdewd01:
I gave it a shot and the rom itself works fine, but nothing I did would let Mindthegapps install. Do you have any suggestions? I am following the install steps exactly to reboot to recovery while still in recovery to sideload prior to ever starting the ROM. It says it installs fine but no icons ever show up for the Google apps.
[Google Pixel 7a] notoriginal10:
Does the Play Store icon exist?

The GApps package may just install Play Services and the Play Store, from which you can install all optional Google apps.

Such packages avoid installing these apps as system apps, since you wouldn't be able to uninstall them without root.
[Google Pixel 7a] nicknitewolf:
You have to reboot to recovery again for it to install on the correct slot
[Google Pixel 7a] Optimissimus99:
Thank you very much for this ROM.

I will test it and see if it is stable. I hope we will have official lineageOS Builds soon.

Edit: GApps don't work for me either. I'm new to A/B devices (coming from Poco F1), so maybe it's a layer 8 error ;)

I have flashed Lineage, than rebooted to recovery, flashed Gapps+magisk (did not throw any errors, log seemed fine).

No sign of Gapps being installed. So I did it again

Active Partition:A Flashed L+G+M, reboot

now active Partition:B Flashed L+G+M, reboot

now active Partition:A Flashed G+M, reboot

now active Partition:A Factory reset.

Now booted the phone, still no Gapps. However if I understand A/B Partitioning correctly, both Partitions should now contain Lineage, Gapps and Magisk.

What am I doing wrong? The recovery logs don't show any issues, all partitions get mounted, and it seems like the Gapps installer runs without problems.

Edit2: Just tried it again with todays build (from mega) - still the same issue. Gapps just don't install
[Google Pixel 7a] Wishmasterflo:
Hmm I guess the issue is with the partition system on our Pixel 7A so has nothing to do with the A/B partitions but the Pixel 7A uses special partitions for Boot and recovery etc, so I guess that the gapps packages can not detect/handle those partitions and therfor it does not work.

I recognized that when I wanted to flash Magisk, it shows as successfull but was not installed.

So I had to patch the init_boot file and flash that to the init_boot partition so I assume something like that applies for Gapps as well!
[Google Pixel 7a] sumdewd01:
This was the issue I had. I tried multiple times and combinations to reflash and reboot, and reboot to recovery while in recovery and I eventually gave up and went back to stock. No Google icons of any sort and it would always say it installed fine.
[Google Pixel 7a] treblechet:
Ok, glad to see I'm not the only one having problems flashing GApps. Does anyone know of a method of getting just the play store functioning outside of flashing from recovery?
[Google Pixel 7a] Wishmasterflo:
You can install Aurora Store and login there with your Google account.
[Google Pixel 7a] nicknitewolf:
Pulled old builds and uploaded new ones. Something went wrong with my build configuration which prevented gapps install. Please use the new pre-install steps and images too
[Google Pixel 7a] mxz55:
Great work @nicknitewolf .. can i wonder what are the main things needed to clear the road for official LineageOS status? Is it that you're not really in the LineageOS community and expect @mikeioannina (who has official builds for most of the Pixel devices) to eventually do it? Or is it that there's specific issues or things that don't conform well. Either way, maybe mike has any idea if the 7a will get official support any time soon..

I will put this on a family member's new Pixel 7a, and maybe leave some feedback, but i still prefer official
[Google Pixel 7a] nicknitewolf:
No promises but we are waiting for June ASB
[Google Pixel 7a] treblechet:
This fixed it, thanks. I would like to mention that there are sone UI inconsistencies when it comes to the status bar, there's padding on one side and not the other, and when you go into the notification drawer (I think that's what it's called, swiping down from the status bar) the time and the date are not aligned by a little bit vertically. It's a small problem but still somewhat noticeable.
[Google Pixel 7a] mxz55:
Ok, cool.. are you working together with people from the LineageOS team?

Also, since i never tried this before with any device - would it require a wipe with clean install to upgrade to official should the time come? Or it's likely to be compatible?
[Google Pixel 7a] nicknitewolf:
Yes and yes. I am already part of the LineageOS team... Current builds are signed with test keys but official builds are signed with separate keys, hence a full wipe is required. You could try the zip attached but I doubt it works (since I don't really wanna test it).
[Google Pixel 7a] mxz55:
Just wanna say it should be "Reboot into bootloader", as the bootloader type of fastboot is required to flash some of the images: the dtbo, vendor_boot and vendor_kernel_boot partitions can't be read by pure fastboot (what's usually called fastbootD) mode and will throw this sort of error:

So anyone that got confused should just use `adb reboot bootloader` instead of reboot fastboot
[Google Pixel 7a] mxz55:
I've flashed the ROM and so far it looks & feels really smooth, thanks!
[Google Pixel 7a] Saswata Chakraborty:
Currently using GrapheneOS. Will flash LOS once they release a user build with release keys.
[Google Pixel 7a] nicknitewolf:
Lineage does not do user builds, only userdebug
[Google Pixel 7a] forestcall:
Is it possible to install this ROM without ROOT?

I need ROOT so I can use Financial Apps like Wallet. When I root my phone I cant use the phone for making payments at a convenience store.
[Google Pixel 7a] Wishmasterflo:
You dont need root to install Lineage. Just an unlocked bootloader of course.
[Google Pixel 7a] 306bobby:
Well with lineage your device will fail safety net more than likely. There are magisk safety net fixes out there to fix that
[Google Pixel 7a] mohammed510:
Hi,

do you know if we will get official builds for the 7A like the 7/7Pro?

thanks
[Google Pixel 7a] chrisrg:
That question has been asked and answered at posts 13 & 14
[Google Pixel 7a] mxz55:
So it appears the topic has been converted to fit the official version of LineageOS, as well as linking to the work in progress device page for lynx on LOS site.. but that page says there are no builds for the device at all yet. I'm not impatient but just to make sure @nicknitewolf is aware: that means that this topic doesn't provide any type of build at the moment, as the unofficial builds directory link was removed. New visitors may not know what to do, if you only expect the first official build next week then maybe it's smart to add back the last unofficial build for now?

Good to see the device is going official btw!
