[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] therealj2001:
Hi all 🙂👍, I wonder if anyone can help me here with my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

If I allow the battery to completely drain (by leaving it turned off and not using it) and then I plug the charger in, the screen is obviously faulty because it flickers, Samsung logo is ghosting, screen is all green or white etc.

But after this load sequence it is then followed by a completely black screen and responds to nothing not even connecting to a PC.

I can only get the screen to light up again as above if the battery is completely drained and it is then plugged into the charger.

I was originally aware the screen was faulty but now it seems to have a problem booting up - so my question is, would the forum agree that the motherboard is likely toast and then in that case, is it worth the repair (either by myself or shop).

If it is not worth the repair, is it possible to access the files to extract personal info/photos/videos etc?

Any help or advice greatly appreciated, thanking you in advance 🙂👍
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Is the battery known good?

Lol, maybe you left it sit too long...

It takes a fair amount of current to boot.

Without boot the only hope of data recovery is a data recovery service.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] therealj2001:
Hi, yes I replaced the battery as that was my first thought. But it was just the same after that.

I just don't want to fit a LCD screen and find out its knackered anyway lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
I guess throw a LCD at it as they are cheap.

May not be the mobo. It's a crap shoot...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] therealj2001:
Unfortunately the edge screens are still around £100. I could keep my eye out for a cheap second hand one that at least has a working screen I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Probably better if you bought a working phone if you like it a lot; a parts queen comes in handy.

A used N10+ be a lot faster but is better if it was loaded with 9 or 10 rather than 11 or higher. These phones can be very long lived and they can be had at a reasonable cost now.

[Android Head-Units] sspikey:
Looking at the following unit from Aliexpress. Link to the unit on Aliexpresswhich is pretty well supported on Rennlist porsche forums Rennlist forum link

1. In real world usage, is there a huge difference between PX6 and Qualcomm 665? I know it's way more powerful but I am just using this for Waze, Spotify Android Auto, Rear view camera/DVR camera while driving.

2. This unit is more expensive than other similar units. It seems like it has overall better quality. Is it worth the 200$ premium vs other units? Other ones have the same porsche physical volume knobs and illuminated buttons etc. If you have any other units I should look at happy to have a look!

3. Are there any higher quality backup cameras or front cameras people can point me to?

4. Has anyone used Harry's lap timer with one of these devices and can comment on the functionality?

5. I am having a hard time understanding Wireless Android Auto. Do these come with Native wireless android Auto or is it even worth using?

6. Assuming I don't use android auto, each time I get into the car do I have to tether my phone to the device to have life traffic and spotify etc working? Not planning on getting a sim card for this.

7. Any comments on the call quality audio? Good working bluetooth phone calls are really important for me. Happy to pay extra for a good quality microphone if anyone has any reccomendations.

Thanks for all the help!
[Android Head-Units] AncientBriton:
I don't know if you have pulled the handle on this, but let me give you my experince.

1. I have little idea. I do know that if you are running Android Auto (which it does well both wired and wireless) the major processor usage is on teh phone, not the head unit.

2. This unit seems very well made. Feels like quality to me. If you can afford a 997, you can afford $200 for the best unit.

3. The backup and fron camera are great. I fitted both. They are the drill and push fit ones.

4. No

5. Wired and wireless both work well.

6. Yes. However I got a $6 a month data sim from Tello and that works. I then run Life360 and I can track my 997 from my phone.

7. Voice quality is great even with the roof down. However I should note that I am using a Kenwood microphone that was already installed.

W.r.t Bluetooth, the unit does have an issue with connecting to some BT devices. It seems to be with low power LE devices like my Valentine1 radar detector or my OBDII transceiver. I confident this wouldn't apply to any phine, and I'd like to think this can be fixed. Seems to be an issue with several Chinese units.

One other comment. I dod something really stupid when installing and needed a part to fix it. Owtosin (Bob Luo) stepped up and got me running again. They seem to have great support.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NotowanyWieslaw:
Hello,

I have formatted my fast SanDisk SD CARD to adopted storage with mixed SD storage also.

I have android 13 and root.

I know that my adopted storage is encrypted and to view it, i need to copy my encryption key which is located at /data/misc/vold.

I lost here: "Mount your SD card e.g. using a GNU/Linux system. In my case, SD card was mounted at /dev/sdb2."

What is "GNU/Linux system"? Is just a LINUX Os which I need to download and run it from for example virtual machine in my Windows 11? I don't understand which GNU/Linux system I must used.

Please explain me better this step - video will be perfect.

Also, the last question - Can I view my adopted storage on SD card using PC without need to use "GNU/Linux system"?

GBWhatsApp like any other messaging app adds shortcuts to the most recent discussions if you long press the app icon. However, GBWhatsApp is also offering a hiding feature for discussions we wish to not appear on the main screen (and to access these hidden discussions a pin code has to be provided). The thing is, even hidden, recent discussions will still appear in the long-press menu and even allow access without entering the pin code, which kinda defeat the purpose of this feature... Even clearing the discussions does not make them disappear from the long-press menu. Any idea how to correct this ? I searched for ways to clear these recents discussions or to disable the long-press menu but came back empty-handed.

So after the April 2023 update Absolute volume no longer works all headphones sound awful over bluetooth any fix for this
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] stefan_at_localhost:
Hello,

I had a working Setup with TWRP + Magisk.

Then I had the stupid idea to accept the OTA update to MIUI 14.0.6.0 (eu).

As I lost my root permissions, I decided to install Magisk again. I used the boot.img from the rom and installed it via fastboot from magisk_patched-XXXX.img.

When I look into the Magisk App (v26.1), it still states: "Installed N/A".

I also tried to flash the patched boot image via TWRP, but there is no way to gain root access anymore :/

Current Version: MIUI V14.0.6.0.TKHCNXM | stable

Can somebody give me a hint, what i'm doing wrong? I also tried to flash the _a and _b slot...

Thanks,

Stefan

You'll want to use fastboot to boot recovery (not flash)

And install the recovery via the on device gui

Also, I would use orangefox recovery, it was built from twrp, but has more features.

Use "method 2" in this guide:

Step2: Flash via TWRP or Orangefox

I don't understand this. Is there a greater change in MUI14?

I also installed the Magisk APK via TWRP and Orangefox, but no other result.

Thanks,

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] stefan_at_localhost:
After serveral hours of debugging I found out, that there was a post on the net, which recommended to install the debug version of Magisk. This was a first step into the right direction. But the GUI crashed and removed the Magisk App.

The strange thing was, that all other whitelisted root apps worked. But no access to change the Whitelist.

So I tried to get the GUI back. But there was no way.

When I installed the APK, it was automatically killed and removed :/

After reinstalling via the xiaomi.eu repair (update) script I decided to to try an older Magisk Version (26.0). This crashed also, but I was able to re-run the app again.

Finally it seems that Magisk implemented a change, that crashes with my MIUI version. I will observe this and try to file a bug report.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Gun:
Hello,

I'm new there, so excuse me in advance if I mistake or something isn't right.

I've got a Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 (J710F) with broken screen. Ordered a new one from Ali. The seller description characteristics of the screen is AMOLED 1080x1920 pixels (and I believe it really is). But original J7 screen is 720x1280. Replaced screen is good, but looks slight blurry and not sharp.

I suppose the system interpolates image from 720x1280 to physical 1080x1920, so image doesn't look perfect.

I tried to change resolution and density with ADB:

$ wm size-density
Physical size: 720x1280
Override size: 1080x1920
Physical density: 320
Override density: 480

Then I've rooted the phone and changed the build.prop:

ro.sf.lcd_density=480
ro.sf.lcd_width=1080
ro.sf.lcd_height=1920

I'm not sure about ro.sf.lcd_width and ro.sf.lcd_height, because there were no such lines, I added them.

After that ADB says:

$ wm size-density
Physical size: 720x1280
Override size: 1080x1920
Physical density: 480

$ dumpsys display | grep mBaseDisplayInfo
mBaseDisplayInfo=DisplayInfo{"Built-in Screen", uniqueId "local:0", app 720 x 1280, real 720 x 1280, largest app 720 x 1280, smallest app 720 x 1280, mode 1, defaultMode 1, modes [{id=1, width=720, height=1280, fps=60.000004}], colorMode -22, supportedColorModes [-22], hdrCapabilities android.view.Display$HdrCapabilities@a69d6308, rotation 0, density 480 (268.941 x 268.694) dpi, layerStack 0, appVsyncOff 1000000, presDeadline 16666666, type BUILT_IN, state OFF, FLAG_SECURE, FLAG_SUPPORTS_PROTECTED_BUFFERS, removeMode 0}

The physical resolution remains the same, and the images on the screen are still not sharp.

Is there some right way to change physical resolution to fit the new display size? Or it is hardware coded and all efforts are useless?

I will be glad to any hints and advices.

[Magisk] da.killa:
Since upgrading LineageOS on my Moto G7 to Android 13 and Magisk to 25.2 I had to reinstall patched boot.img after every update. It was a bit of a PITA, but not painful enough to google if there's a solution for Magisk to survive the LineageOS update, like it did before. It worked just well enough for me.

After today's LineageOS update I was going to do all the usual stuff: download boot.img, patch, fastboot, flash and done. But there was an info about the new Magisk version. Updated to 26.1, patched my boot.img, rebooted to fastboot, flashed the patched image. But after the restart Magisk says it's not installed. I tried 2 more times, then downgraded Magisk back to 25.2, but it doesn't work any more - nothing happens after patching and flashing the patched image.

I checked the Magisk installation instruction, but there's nothing about changes in 26.1 What can I do to get Magisk work again?
[Magisk] da.killa:
Debug app did what regular Magisk could not:

Uninstalled Magisk app. Flashed the stock boot image. Installed Magisk debug app and patched boot.img. Flashed the patched file. Opened the debug app and finished the installation. Updated Magisk app and Magisk. It works now.

I have no idea why did the debug version succeed, where the regular one failed, but I'm happy it did :)
[Magisk] Spartacus500:
For me on Samsung S7 9.0 Pie NFE 2.2, after flashing the Rom clean, after configuring the phone, I go to TWRP and upload Magisk_26.1.zip and every time in the Magisk app it says "root is not installed" 😔. I tried several times and each time the same, I found a solution, after flashing the NFE Rom clean, phone configuration, then installs the Magisk_26.1.apk application on the phone (I do not open Magisk), then I change Magisk_26.1.apk to Magisk_26.1.zip, go to TWRP and install the Magisk zip file, reboot and ? "root Magisk installed" 😉
