What do you mean ?
[Samsung Galaxy J6 Questions & Answers] vinnievh:
Like what are the best roms or mods for it?
[Samsung Galaxy J6 Questions & Answers] Samarimama:
First, what is your favorite ROM
[Samsung Galaxy J6 Questions & Answers] vinnievh:
I like pixel experience but there aren't any
[Samsung Galaxy J6 Questions & Answers] Samarimama:
The J6 ROM are:

LineageOS

RadicalQuack

ALT-F4 ROM

NevaOS

Aosp Extented

Evolution X

crDroid

YumiOS

FraSharpOS (M10 Port)

Marvel OS

H-ROM (Note 20 Port)

PrishOS

Almost all of them is Android 10, the other is Pie
[Samsung Galaxy J6 Questions & Answers] vinnievh:
whats the most usable and best battery life one?
[Samsung Galaxy J6 Questions & Answers] Samarimama:
Lineage is the most stable, ArrowOS has a best battery life one and crDroidOS gives a lot of customization.

(Found in Getdroidtips.com)
[Samsung Galaxy J6 Questions & Answers] vinnievh:
I think I'll go with arrowOS

Thanks for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy J6 Questions & Answers] Samarimama:
Your welcome ! You are lucky because Samsung is a very popular smartphone brand.

Don't buy unpopular devices like Acer, CAT etc. (If they become obsolete, maybe there is no cutom ROM for these devices)
[Samsung Galaxy J6 Questions & Answers] vinnievh:
I actually kinda like it. I might make it my secondary, it runs so much better then my Galaxy A51 4G
[Samsung Galaxy J6 Questions & Answers] Samarimama:
Ok, enjoy your new ROM !
[Samsung Galaxy J6 Questions & Answers] PixelPerfect24:
I made a recent discovery for my J600G, try using Corvus OS by @bennychs61.

It has android 11 and works quite well than EvolutionX 4,1, HavocOS 3.3.

Battery life is great when used with Ryzen kernel.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] deusexe:
I have such an adapter https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Ether...+RJ45&qid=1682626537&sprefix=,aps,1864&sr=8-3. And unfortunately, after connecting it to the phone in the hotspot and tethering settings, the Tethering via Ethernet option is greyed out. I've set hardware acceleration in developer options, have Data Saver turned off, and set the default usb connection to tethering. The phone is new and freshly updated. The adapter definitely works, tested on the previous phone (Samsung S9+), another Samsung A5 phone and even on a Mac tablet. Is it possible that Sony is picky and I need to buy a better adapter or do you know any other tricks. I read on reddit that a friend has a 2.5GbE one that framework sell, realtek adapter and it works fine for him on SONY 1 IV
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] billycar11:
if your doing this to a pc you just use a usb cable it tethers over that

on locked down devices like consoles or something idk you might be out of luck i have never tethered a phone that way always used usb or wifi hotspot
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] deusexe:
No, as I wrote earlier with the previous phone I used and it works normally. I need to connect the car with an ENET cable (BMW).
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] billycar11:
Idk there maybe an Ethernet adapter out there that works but that is a much more niche way of doing it especially to a car

Look for Ethernet adapter that people say worked on older Sony phones if any

the way i would do it is tether phone to laptop and laptop ethernet to car
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] dekadude:
Had this 3 years now, at first for the first month or two the battery life was great, I disable data, nfc, location, Google auto sync, turn on battery saver most of the time

After that period the battery was lucky to last 5 or 6 days, which may sound good but it was double that when I first got it.

Installed various custom roms over the years (and Im sure I have installed different kernels too but I can't find any on here so may be mixed up with my other phone)

No difference.

Most recently about 2 months ago changed to Official Lineage Android 12 and again for first charge or two it was fine then battery was lucky to last 4 days.

Most recently I charged overnight and had everything turned off (though literally just before I started this thread noticed NFC was enabled) it was 100% for first few hours, then 99 after I did a quick data enable and looked at something, then went down to 98, then 97 shortly after despite data being disabled.

I also took 2 photos.

Looked at my phone 20 minutes ago and it was down to 15% and now its 12%, a reboot didn't change it.

Only other thing I think it can be is about 6 weeks ago I changed what charger I used, used to use a PD charger, can't remember wattage but it wasn't the weakest and just now changed to a higher wattage one that I had in a drawer for a long time as the removable head was broken, I used to use a cable from a Oneplus 7t Pro now I use the one that came with the charger so it could also be a dodgy cable however this same cable chargers my Oneplus and that lasted 10 days even with checking the internet a few times, unless my Mi Mix doesn't like the charger and/or cable.

Any ideas?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] Samarimama:
Sometimes when I fix phones with battery drain by doing factory reset, their battery life increase. Maybe it just apps or personalized setting, Do a factory reset. Be sure to back up you files. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] duendemago:
Hello, I was looking for some S23 Ultra at Amazon (Mexico) and I found a couple of models with good prices, but I want to make sure everything I can about the model number those have, which are:

SM-918ULGFXAA (Blue Sky and Lime colors)

SM-S918BZEVLTM (black, pink, and other colors)

Both are 512GB of memory. I'm trying to find an official list with all the models to see which is which and why they have such different prices (the VLTM is like 300USD less than the GFXAA, but besides the colors, there seems to be no difference). Neither of both are repurposed, they claim both are original and sealed from fabric.

Nether to say similar models are like$500 USD above the Amazon price in the Samsung store (physical store)

Any tip regarding where to look for model descriptions will be appreciated. Thanks and have a great day!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] keller.jeff:
If it helps... I have the At&t S23 Ultra 512Gb and the model number says SM-S918U ZGFAT
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] pjaysnowden:
You're asking about dollars...so you're in USA. If so...go for the S918U version. You can't root it...but it is better compatible with the USA networks . S918B is mostly for Europe and the east.
[Touch HD General] gt112:
Over the past few weeks I have had reason to email HTC Support on a number of occasions as have a lot of you.

There was the disgraceful forced push automatic update that did not work for most, there is the flawed hotfix that causes a whole new bug for some etc etc.

I have sent them 5 emails in the past three weeks. I have received NO responses whatsoever!! For the love of god!

If you are dissatisfied with HTC then help me let them know. Make your voice heard, that's one of the advantages of online communities, they can lead to more power for consumers by grouping and info sharing.

I have paid a LOT of money for my HD, surely they should respond to my emails.
[Touch HD General] Steve James:
Yep, no response back from them in over a week with regard to various TouchFlo / WM bugs.

Not a great start. . .

Add to that that the Qualcomm chip is a dog in terms of performance. God only knows why they use it???
[Touch HD General] crystal_clear:
what do you expect???

they have your money if you bought a sim free product....

they have your networks money if you got the handset on a contract....

what do they care, exactly they dont!

i waited 3 months for a reply via email, it basically refered me back to their helpline, which was as much use as a chocolate fire guard!

Poor quality english langauge spoken, and all they wanted to do was sell me more htc products at extremely high prices.

if only the CEO of HTC was aware of how his employee's and company treat his customers.....
[Touch HD General] shagratt:
I never wrote to them, but seeing that we relay more on this site for fixes than on oficial htc releases seems to confirm they dont care much about customers.

Apple release more updates than them :(
[Touch HD General] tcmax:
I wrote to HTC support two days ago and get a response two hours later - very good.

Greetings
[Touch HD General] 69reichertm:
Hello

I wrote several Emails regarding the Touch Diamond and never got an answer.

I wrote to german and global support.

NOTHING

THe Support seem terrible ( but the devices are good )
[Touch HD General] carola:
Telephone

Have any of you attempted to contact them by telephone?
[Touch HD General] gt112:
I tried the phone a month or so ago, wa son hold for about 10 minutes so gave up. I figure if they are poor at responding to emails then they dont take support seriously in general.

truly terrible, makes me so angry.
[Touch HD General] Sallcho:
oh cmon guys, the receive like >100 emails per hour. do u think they will take time to answer you regarding autoupgrade and hotfix with bugs? what do you expect, press #5840987* and your phone works? they don't even lose time emailing about autoupgrade with text "HARD RESET", cuz that's u'r problem. and hotfix? what reply do you want to receive? "HELLO, OKEY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR EMAIL, WE DIDN'T FIND THAT, HERE YOU GO A NEW ONE"?!!?!?!? they got your mail about bug, and forwarded to programming/etc team
[Touch HD General] crystal_clear:
the customer support for HTC

SUCKS!

and thats hows it is.....:mad:

HTC website support section, should say for any assistance, support, fixes - please contact xda-developers.com
[Touch HD General] 69reichertm:
@SALLCHO

Are you kidding or do you think really like you wrote ?

Hey Man - I paid 600 Euro - many paid around 700 USD for the device and I think I/we can get for our money a WORKING product.

It is ashame that the devices from HTC come out with many bugs.

It would be better to release minor new devices and get the software running well.

Look at the iphone - every three month a major update with tons of fixes and sometimes new feature

HTC would do great to get fixes and enhamcements to their smartphones, too - because that is the nice thing on SMARTphones - they can be enhanced
[Touch HD General] thierryb:
We paid even more for the xda flame and we do not get any support from O2.

Do not wait, trust community like this one.
[Touch HD General] DIANEGREY:
I emailed them what should have been a straightforward question, three weeks later got an email saying call us. Had a bigger problem with my phone called them, went through to a worse then useless Indian call center who just kept saying talk to the person who sold it to you.....

CRAP!
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] Sucharek 233:
Hi, I'm trying to use erecovery to download latest system update. It got a little broken in system and I can't seem to reset.

So, why am I writing here? My display is broken and I can see only the very bottom part (like 15%). And I also didn't find any pictures taking a deep look at erecovery.

My request is, if someone can show me everything I can do in erecovery so I know where to tap and what I'm actually doing. For example if I go to wipe data (or atleast I think, because I can't see that aswell) I see a keyboard and that's it. I don't know what's above.

So, can anyone please send me pictures of erecovery?

Edit: My bootloader is unlocked if that helps.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
if you see the keyboard in Recovery mode, then you are not in that mode or the screen is completely destroyed. On the other hand, you can navigate in the Recovery/eRecovery menu using the buttons, so you don't need touch. The problem will probably be when you get to the "Select wifi network" point, imo. Maybe it would be better to use the service ROM and dload method. But this process will erase your data and lock the bootloader.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] Sucharek 233:
If I bend the display a little I get a glimpse of what's on top of the screen and I got an error (couldn't get info).
[Google Pixel 7] jd1639:
Can anyone tell me if the radio has to be on in order to make wifi calls. When I'm in airplane mode and connected to a wireless network I get a message to turn airplane mode off. I have really bad cell service where I am and making calls is hit and miss.
[Google Pixel 7] LeoD:
I keep my radio off all the time (unless I leave my house) wifi on, airplane mode off and make and receive calls just fine.
[Google Pixel 7] jd1639:
If you have airplane mode off how are you turning the radio off? That's what I'm using to turn it on or off.
[Google Pixel 7] LeoD:
Mobile data always active in developer options set to off and I toggle mobile data off in Internet options. Unless I'm misunderstanding that should accomplish what your trying to do. For me this gives me wifi calling and receiving while I'm home (cause like you I have terrible reception) but when I leave my home and can pick up a signal I will still get calls etc
[Google Pixel 7] jd1639:
I must be missing something. I've turned off mobile data always active off in developer options and mobile data off in internet options. Right now I have no cell service, because it's so crappy here, am connected to my network but I still can't make calls. When I try I get a "mobile network is not available" error.
[Google Pixel 7] LeoD:
Check out under Network & internet, then internet. Your mobile network should be listed on top. ( I use google fi and it is listed) click the setting and make sure wifi calls is turned on. If it isn't there for you I would look around or check with your provider and make sure they allow wifi calling?

Or maybe someone else that uses the same provider as you can chime in here.
[Google Pixel 7] jd1639:
Thanks for helping me on this. Wifi calling is turned on. My carrier is Verizon. Could you look on your phone and tell me what it says below wifi calling, the smaller text, under Network & Internet, internet. Mine says "Call over mobile network" when wifi calling is enabled and "Off" when it's disabled. The call over mobile network seems to imply to be that wifi calling isn't active.
[Google Pixel 7] LeoD:
Yeah seems so. Mine says mobile data won't auto connect.

I'm unsure if it will help you however can't hurt to check or try. Under my provider (google fi) I click on the gear and my settings are mobile data, roaming, w+ connections and allow 2g are toggled off. My preferred network type is fixed on LTE and off course wi-fi calling under calling.

I checked under verizon and it should allow the wifi calling however it isn't very clear if it only allows it as a fall back option.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] TuranGM:
So phone was soft bricked.I couldn't get to the home.It was rebooting to odin mode(download mode) or bootlooping but i could not reboot phone to normal.So I decided to flash a custom rom in Odin.First I was getting fail beacuse of frp.And I also tried twrp recovery and it also failed.After trying download mode said "an error has occurred while updating device software" and i tried to fix this with SmartSwitch but that failed(when I was connecting my phone it said unsupported phone and i couldn't do anything).So I found unofficial variation which is FRP Hijacker.And it worked well.I could get back the normal downlad mode and also recovery mode.After this i tried again to flash rom.It was successfuly flashed.I thought it's done, but no.Phone was bootlooping again.I didn't know what to do.So I found on internet combination file for this phone and flashed it in odin.It failed after this i rebooted my phone and it showed again the "An error has occurred while updating device software".So I opened again FRP Hijacker and clicked to "SoftBrick fix" and after this my phone died.And now I can't turn on the phone,cant get to recovery or download Nothing!It also is not charging.

Could someone help me pls?I will be so thankful!!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] samsungs21:
BTW if someone offers a working solution, I can offer consultancy fee for time and success fee in case of recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Masterchief87:
Root probably won't be possible without unlocking the bootloader, and unlocking the bootloader factory resets the phone, which formats the internal storage and permanently deletes everything. I've used root apps to recover deleted photos and videos before but that only works if the phone was already rooted, or if there's a way to do it without wiping the phone. When I joined XDA almost a decade ago it was relatively common to see root methods that used exploits, and didn't require you to wipe the phone but that's not really a thing today. All this is to say that root is almost certainly not a viable option.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
Have you checked for professional forensics services that can disassemble the phone and connect wires directly to the storage chips?

I've seen Youtube videos like this, where they get into the guts of the electronics and use solder and wiring. Sorry I don't know more specifics, but perhaps you can find them online and mail your phone for professional forensics recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Samarimama:
Maybe you can download a folder files of camera for the S21 Ultra :U
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
^this^ Your best shot. With this you may only get one shot especially if you cause more damage by misadventure...

Others here have gone this route and gotten good results. $400-800 for non rush service is in the ballpark.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] samsungs21:
Thank you. I have come across some websites mentioning this, but could not find any agency of repute in my region offering such a solution. And especially if I can only get one shot with this, I definitely want to pick the best agency to try it out. The photos inside are worth it for me to shell out hundreds of dollars if necessary...

I wonder also, if we can reasonably expect technical progress to be able to solve this situation. I don't mean some stuff like quantum computing, but for instance I'm aware that PS3 has recently been cracked , a few years after it came out. Can I reasonably expect something similar to happen to Android 12 that what's not breakable/crackable today, may become so in 1-2 or maybe 3-4 years? While I'd hate to have to wait for 2-3 years, there's nothing time-sensitive in those photos; just family moments that I would like to be able to revisit 10 years later, so if I only will be able to access them later on, that's fine, I can just put my phone in a drawer for a few years and wait. As long as this wait is not in vain. Definitely don't need false hope.

Thanks for your feedback!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
There's a thread here I posted on going 4-8 months. He had hid data recovered from a Samsung for $1200 rush job vs the usual $800 charge). I've tried to find it, but you see my post count. Usually that works in my favor but not always🤣 He shipped it to them if I recall correctly.

Try these guys. That may be the company he used. Been too long and it was of passing interest to me. If you do recover the data please report back. Many posters here have asked for this.

Due to the way those files were lost they may not be recoverable. Personally I would've written them off. However only a recovery specialist can say for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] samsungs21:
reached out to the guys you recommended, though their website / social media have not been updated since 2020... Will report back on the progress.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
I'm not sure that's who he used and I know only what I read on their site. Just saying...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] RSGI:
Can't you just plug the phone to a PC and use a recovery tool like DiskDrill, or something?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Samarimama:
Flash the original firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
That would do nothing except complicate the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] samsungs21:
tried that. The phone is not considered a hard drive, hence neither appears on the list of hard drives on Disk Drill, nor can be selected as folder/destination to run it on...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
I should mention that even if the jpegs can be recovered their exif data is not able to be associated with the jpeg. The folder structure is lost as well. A sea of jpegs with no time stamp or original image name. A daunting task in itself to sort these out.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Samarimama:
Make a factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
That would overwrite the lost data potentially making it impossible to recover as if it's not already bad enough.

It was a simple data transfer that went bad (this can happen), nothing indicates the user partition or rom are corrupted... throwing rocks at it doesn't help.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] RSGI:
Try an app called "Disk Digger". Its on the playstore. It might belp.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
If you're not going to use a professional recovery service, go for it.

Otherwise using the device risks overwriting the now unallocated data... once overwritten recovery is completely impossible on a flash drive.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] RSGI:
That would definitely ruin his chances of any recovery... just avoid making any writing on the storage, cause if the data you want to recover is overwrite, it's definitely gone... at least intact...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] SOGKush420:
Try diskdigger pro on your phone to recover your pictures, you shouldnt need root cuz it doesnt need any superuser rights to access the DCIM folder., even if it was moved to your pc, the data should still be there on your phone just waiting to be overwritten.

Im gonna dm you with a link for diskdigger so check ur dm's

I really hope you can restore them

Good luck🙂
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
If you really need the lost data the best thing to do is to put it in airplane mode and power the device off. Let a data recovery service that specialises in Samsung's give it a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] samsungs21:
Thank you very much for suggesting this and DMming me the APK. I looked on google play and concerned with average 3.3/5 rating with nearly 500k reviews left. Seems it doesn't work for people who had their data deleted , like I do. This app only finds the photos that have not been deleted from memory. It seems to be similar to other free software.

Also , I have had a data recovery expert try Cellebrite UFED and Oxygen Forensic Device Extractor , which seem to be the most advanced software solutions out there that can be run from PC with mobile connected via USB in a debugging mode, and nevertheless they were not able to pick up any of those deleted photos from my phone (and I talked on the phone with 3 top data recovery agencies in my region and they all said that if this software cannot find the photos, then nothing will; and they said they're unable to propose any other solutions, surprisingly, due to encryption of data...)

What is bewildering to me is that the phone fully works and I have access to it. It's not like I forgot my password or something, and yet I still cannot give proper access to software to properly search the phone for deleted files that in the opinion of all data experts I talk to should still be on my phone's memory in some kind of ghost files form....

I wonder if asking Samsung official support would help, but I have no idea where to start even, as their central customer service has been extremely unhelpful and felt worse than googling
