So the switch assembly failing is common on these? Didn't have much luck seeing anyone else with my problem, just motherboard issues
[Google Pixel 5a] blackhawk:
Well if it's the mobo you're boned. Unless dropped or flexed mobo's shouldn't just fail.

Since it's a moving part the switch be the prime suspect or a loose connector unless there are other known issues with this model.
[Google Pixel 5a] ExDementia:
Ok, might order the switch online, I found a part.

Still so frustrating because I know it's a functioning phone that I just can't turn on. I used it for months without use of the side buttons, I just never let the battery deplete until now

If anyone knows a way to turn it on without use of the buttons I'm all ears
[General Questions and Answers] phnord:
Is this possible? Is it on a phone-by-phone basis? What are some good phones that do support it?

For reference: I use a USB-C mic (Shure MV88+) to stream my concerts, currently with a Galaxy S9+ that I try to charge wirelessly while using it... with mixed results. Often the wireless charging stops / doesn't keep up, and my phone & stream dies

Planning to upgrade my phone to something with a better camera since my screen is... pretty done
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
This is normal and typical display on behavior; charging rate ramps down if device is being used to protect the battery. If display is off but you're using a low power drain app(s) like listening to Poweramp using bluetooth you can charge normally because to current drain is small. If you turn the display on all that changes. If the drain is large enough it won't charge at all especially if running warm.
[General Questions and Answers] phnord:
I'm asking about support for USB-OTG while also charging via a USB port, not... whatever it is you think I'm asking about
[General Questions and Answers] EP21:
Every phone supports that, you just need a type c dongle with a pd marked port. They're not very expensive (10-20eur)

Basically most Rom Tools for the Hermes would work with Cheetah.

Does anyone know if internally the Panther is basically a Kaiser?
[Palm Treo Pro] lcohen999:
I'm hoping that you are trying to cook? :)

No answer, sorry
[Palm Treo Pro] spastico:
Because tools for the Hermes worked with Cheetah

I thought I would try tools for Kaiser with the Panther.

I got my raws with:

pdocread.exe -w -d FLASHDR -b 0x800 -p Part00 0 0x31f000 Part00.raw

pdocread.exe -w -d FLASHDR -b 0x800 -p Part01 0 0x3c0000 Part01.raw

pdocread.exe -w -d FLASHDR -b 0x800 -p Part02 0 0x4d40000 Part02.raw

pdocread.exe -w -d FLASHDR -b 0x800 -p Part03 0 0x6980000 Part03.raw

I've reconstructed and all went well.

I now have an RUU_signed.NBH!

No, I haven't flashed, and won't until I'm pretty sure the Kaiser tools also work with Panther.

We also need to be sure HardSPl works with Panther.

But I still don't think I want to flash until I have an Official Rom to Flash just in case.

But then We'd have an Official nbh that we could easily dump and rebuild, so all of the above would be of no need anyway.

[Moto G 5G Plus Questions & Answers] mg5gplus:
I'm not good with tech lingo so sorry if I use wrong terms. Mostly I don't regret rooting my phone. I save so much space and my phone's pretty much ad-free now, which was the reason I decided to root my phone in the first place. I'm now using Lineage 20.0 Android 13. I really miss some old Moto functions though. One is displaying apps over the camera cutout. Some apps use the whole screen display but some has a black bar on top. I used to be able to just go in settings and make any app use the whole screen. Now I can't. Been looking for a fix but can't find it.

Another is the volume control. You can set the volume you want for each app by pressing the up or down button and dragging out app volume control and the phone remembers it. I didn't have to go to each app's settings and adjust the volume one by one. If you have any fix for these I'd really appreciate it.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Am100:
Hi all,

Any suggestions for removing and avoiding micro scratches in S23 Ultra Cream color aluminium body especially in bottom area near ports, mic, speaker n around spen area. Currently using Spigen Hybrid transparent case which is well protecting 3 sides except bottom which is wide open for dust n debris to affect beautiful polish on aluminium body. Any help and expert suggestions n inputs are highly appreciated. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Justarandomguy:
I don't know exactly what to do, but I'll use a microfiber cloth everyday to avoid scratches, use it before going out with the phone and when going back home, that may help a bit
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fl1nt91:
Mine red and black frame just lost a piece of black paint on the speaker grid, and now you can see the metal.

So pissed about that
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Am100:
How?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xwonic:
removing i don't know, but avoiding micro scratches you can use one of these films, they have a transparent one.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] SyCoREAPER:
Scratches in aluminum are permanent, no restoring the color.best you csn do is as mentioned get an aforementioned whole body TPU film.

Sometimes the film will fill in existing minor scratches and make them less noticeable.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Am100:
Thanks man. Ordering full body film as u suggested.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Could you share a picture please? My brother is hell bent on getting that color.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
S22 series, also S21 series(if I remember correctly) come with a factory fitted thin film(several pieces) protecting the aluminum frame atleast in my region. Sad to see 23 series not having it.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Thank you. Looks exactly like what happened to my Phantom Black S21 Ultra frame near the power button. The paint just chipped off on its own (no drops in 2 years) and exposed the aluminium underneath. This was one of the biggest reasons i went for a color option with a metallic sheen on the frame this time (cream). Thank you for posting the pic.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Am100:
Yaa correct. This time no film of any kind was present anywhere on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
Unfortunately frames from S21 especially S22 series is very gentle (eco and recycle materials). In my fold 2 frames look good to these days after 2 years. Only few scratches but after drop on the hard floor 2x. S20 my girlfirend too looking still good with no one drops etc.

Even in touch frames Fold and S20 is hard and feel durable compare to my previous S22 and now S23.

I saw opinions about appearing scratches in S22 just from "look device" ...

So thanks for it I choose S23U blue with classic silver frames and still have original foils around this :) .
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] 2015Ducatimulti:
yeah this is the same reason I went with the Lime color since it has the sliver frame, so any nicks or paint falling off wouldn't be as noticeable.

As suggested by fellow members bought a matte finish 3m skin today n applied. Looking pretty.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jake.S:
Plastic around edges are not protection film that you get. They are temporary plastic films meant to be removed and not kept on. It's so when device goes through inspection and test they won't get scratches on the frame.

My s23 ultra came with this thin transparent film along the frame on each sides like how my note 20 ultra did as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] cpufrost:
Nothing a sharpie can't fix! ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Those pieces of films do stick really well and do a good job at protecting the frame from getting minor scratches on day to day usage. Installing or removing a case do not lift or misplace the film either. If a lanyard is used with a case, it protects that portion of the frame too. I never removed the pieces in my one year of usage of S22U/21U as I never needed to.

Absolutely not.

With your PC, they have your IP and MAC address. Then, they should ask to your provider to give them your personal informations.

With your phone, they have your IP, IMEI and phone number... that's way easier to know who you are.

However, using bt to download illegal stuff is... obviously always illegal!

[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] Timesnaps:
First time poster.... please go gentle on me. Not entirely new to custom roms and TWRP, but really stuck here. I am trying to install a CrDroid ROM. Phone is not networked locked and brand new. What I managed to do so far:

1. Reset the phone

2. reboot into Recovery (Mi Recovery)

3. Wipe data

4. Unlocked the phone (using offical Mi Unlock)

I then proceeded to boot into Fastboot and flashed the TWRP (twrp-3.7.0_12-0-onclite), renamed to recovery. But after flashing and rebooting I can only get into Fastboot, or boot it normally. Holding down the Volume+Up and Power button doesn't get me anywhere but Fastboot. (Same for Volume-Down and Power Up). I tried both un-pluggin the phone from the PC immediately after flashing is finished, and using Fastboot Reboot command, but all to no avail. Its Fastboot or normal boot only.

I also tried whats suggested here upto the vbmeta image, but didn't make a difference. When sending the 'fastboot boot recovery.img' command, I get the following error:

C:\adb>fastboot boot recovery.img

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 0.939s]

booting...

FAILED (remote: unknown reason)

finished. total time: 1.502s

Trying this guide for a 'custom' boot image from this page also didnt help

Really hoping there is a way to get this resolved. But totally stuck here. Have access to both Mac OS and Windows 10. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be wonderful!
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] Timesnaps:
Ok, small update - in hope to help others...

I went ahead and used 'XiaoMiTool V2'to see if it might help to load a different ROM. When starting the app, I choose the 'Bricked' device option, even it wasnt bricked. I choose the Global ROM 12. (The phone showed up as unknown and I didnt sign in with the Mi Account).

After the new ROM was on it, phone started normally and went through the setup. Had to re-enable Developer Options, USB Debugging, but even so it still didnt work - installing the TWRP just kept bringing me back to Fastboot.

However, the TWRP from this page did work: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomi-mi439.html

I also took no chances and held the Volume up button pressed and with the Command window open and 'fastboot reboot'typed out, hit the Enter key at the same time as pressing the Power button on the phone.

Worked for me!

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] radiofoneguy:
Please help. Long time user but havent been on in forever.

Story.

My S22 ultra was giving me warnings for being close to full on the memory. I had to have Google backup off for work reasons, work provided phone. I normally use Android file transfer and make copies on a Mac computer.

The usb was giving my fits and i couldnt connect. I ended up using a Windows pc and i started coping over my pics. The windows track pad glitched and i deleted the new file and the old file on both the PC and the S22. My Camera folder was missing on the S22 where the phone default saves.

Ive tried a bunch of the data recovery apps and none work. I have read you need root to be able to see the delete files as they stay on the device until over written.

Is there truth to needing root to see the deleted files. I havent rooted a device in probably close to 10 years so the easiest method would be awesome.

Thanks in advance and please excuse my cluelessness im a bit rusty.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
The files are lost especially if you ran out of memory; likely overwritten by now.

Always copy/paste to backup.

Keep work and personal phones separate.

In lieu of expandable storage use a OTG flashstick in the future. Thank Samsung for taking away your easiest, most sane option... on a flagship none the less.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheMystic:
There is no guarantee that with root you'd be able to recover lost files. You only have a better chance.

To root, you need an unlocked bootloader first.

If you unlock your bootloader, the process will wipe everything on your device. So you need to backup whatever files you have before proceeding with the unlock process, i.e. you have no chance of recovering already deleted files.

How come your files in PC that were deleted aren't in the recycle bin?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
It happens from time to time. When it happens if the source file is gone so is the data, unrecoverable.

That's why you always copy/paste rather than cut/paste critical data. Delete the source file only after the transfer is verified.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheMystic:
If recycle bin is enabled, it should not happen.

100% true.

So the files disappeared because he was cut-pasting them, and not 'deleted' as he wrote. Now I understood what actually happened.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] radiofoneguy:
Yep nothing in any recycle bins. I was able to recover all the files on the PC side but they are corrupt and won't open. I've used several different programs to recover and to fix the corrupt files. I normally triple and quadruple backup everything. I used to test devices so i was constantly swapping SIMs so I used to save all the time. The program ended and I've been on this s22 since it came out and I became complacent with updating. It sucks a wipe is needed. I was hoping the files were just hidden like PC and Mac when deleted and easily archived. Thanks for the comments, I learned a hard lesson and I knew better.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
That won't save you if the file is lost during transfer. Seen it happen enough to know.

It's different from deleting a file with the trash bin active. You need to be careful of that with critical data.

Never clone media files ie discs, partitions either, always copy/paste. Cloning or compacting media like .wav files can toss the null marks and they are needed and functional in that context.

Never encrypt data drives... as you are the most likely one to get locked out.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheMystic:
Like I said, he didn't explain properly.

I have lost files too with a cut-paste, so I'm aware of this problem.

This is why on macOS, they don't give you a 'cut' or move (except move to bin) option, but only 'copy'. Those who are absolutely sure they need to cut will have to use the 'Option' key to make it show up.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Always leave enough head room on Android internal memory. It can putt along like that for a while with just warnings until one day... boom.

If you're seeing warnings you're cutting it way too close. Leave at least 10% headroom. Lol, I played that wicked game with my S4+, 16gb isn't much.

Samsung should have a base starting at least 256gb internal memory in this day and age especially if they were rude enough to drop expandable storage. Since the N10+ I haven't been pleased with the Samsung flagships; they all have multiple issues. As such I haven't bought any. Samsung continues their ball dropping fest unabated.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Zitouun:
I installed LineageOS 20 (lineage-20.0-20221121-UNOFFICIAL-Mi439) on a redmi 7A (pine version), through TWRP (twrp-3.7.0_12-0-mi439), along with Gapps (NikGapps-full-arm64-13-20230418-signed), and rooted thanks to magisk 26.1.

I installed a brand new (noname) 128GB microsd.

I tried to use the sdcard both as external, or formated as internal (configuration I kept). With external conf I used also App2SD III Pro to move apps to SD.

With both approaches I faced very strange behavior : files (pictures, mp3, docs... but it seems not to appear on apps) disappearing a while after having been transferred, whether this transfer was performed from PC through USB connection, through copy paste from internal memory to external SD, or thanks to FTP connection (using File Manager +).

After a while (minutes or hours by now, not more...) some folders which I expected to contain files appeared as empty when trying to go inside, although some app (like File Manager +) still said that the folder contained the correct number of files, but displayed nothing when going inside. And these folders were then impossible to remove. I tried it in many different ways, through apps, or through adb with the command that should work if empty, as well the ones to use to erase folder + its contents, with force argument. On such folder, I also noticed no difference in permissions compared to working folders.

And after a while these folder removal attempts leaded to a non responding SD card. Which at the end I had to re-format.

I am close to consider this SDcard as the root of the problem, but I would prefer to be sure before re-breaking (again...) all my configuration (which is in fact the one of the phone of my daughter who is beginning to curse me !).

Any idea to confirm this is the origin of the problem, that could work in my current configuration (sdcard formatted as internal), without breaking something else, taking also into account I'm using a windows PC ? I don't imagine a repair is possible, but if a solution exist, I would also be glad to hear.

Thanks a lot for those who had the patience to read everything, and a bigger thank for those who would be eager to help :)
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Format in device. Reload it using the device interface.

Don't share the card with other devices as this can corrupt it unless formatted before using in the new device.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Zitouun:
OK I will give it a try as soon as she let me touch her phone :) To have a status on the sdcard first.

In case it's OK (fingers crossed), what would be the best to extend my internal storage, which is the initial reason for all these operations. App2sd with a unique volume, or partition the sdcard to use with Link2sd ? If partitionning is the best, considering all previous issues, what would be the best way to perform the partition (app to recommend ?) and what would be your advices concerning volumes sizes ? I have 32 GB internal and a SDcard of 128 GB.

I keep you posted on the test.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Zitouun:
Re-reading your answer I wonder if you also mean that if I format with my PC you believe it should then be able to work safely as an external device in the phone. Including with app data or maybe app itself linked in the sdcard.

In my various tests I indeed formated as external with the device but accessed it from the external by USB. Which I understand may cause corruption risk.

Anyway I also tried to reformat then with the device, as internal storage this time, and saw issues occurring without sharing it through USB. But I used FTP feature from File Manager +. Does it bring the same risks as direct USB connection ?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] SyCoREAPER:
Always back to basics, have you tried with another SD card to make sure (as you mentioned possibly) that the card is kaput?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I would never use the SD card to extent internal memory. That's just asking for trouble and slow performance.

Use the expandable storage as a data drive; all critical data goes here. Only apps and the download folder go on internal, the DCIM folder too if you have room there.

Buy name brand flash memory for reputable vendors. Go for fast V30 rated cards like the Sandisk Extreme. A flash memory failure wastes time, money and data.
