A few people have lost fingerprint sensor. Physical drops seem to speed up the process but I think the sensor is actually defective or not built for use in such a device. I think AGM have a replacement unit in latest production runs.

You are the first I've heard of losing 3.5mm jack. How hard did you drop it? Or do you think maybe related to 2 metre deep swims?
[Device Reviews and Information] samienemy:
As i know if there's any replacement of any unity the mobile will not be waterproof, so i prefer to keep it without fingerprint sensor and still waterproof
[Device Reviews and Information] RavZ75:
I managed to find scripts to unpack the firmware after a few slight edits to it.

The scripts:

https://github.com/proger10/agmx3-firmware-tools

Unpacked firmware:

- MediaFire

These files are untested but maybe not much risk to it if your device already f'd.

There are some firehose files included.

I only found a script, unpacked the firmware and shares it.

I don't own an AGM G2 Guardian so.. use at own risk.

If you or someone else tries these files and the files are good though or bad, let me and everyone know.
[Device Reviews and Information] bandario:
This is excellent news! You've done more for G2 development in one post than we have achieved in 6 months. Thank you.

Presently my G2 Guardian is mission critical as I have given away all of my backup devices, but this should be almost everything that is required for those brave souls willing to take the plunge right now.

From past experiments, it is an easy thing to achieve unlocked bootloader via standard method.

The stumbling block using fastboot comes with vbmeta because once the G2 detects unsanctioned files here it enters a state which cannot be recovered at home. Your inclusion of the firehose files will hopefully allow a way around this using QFIL/ QPST.

Anyone feeling brave, remember to backup all files manually in qualcomm tools before you begin changing anything.

Be warned, AGM devices do not have a recovery mode that will allow you to simply restore a factory image if you brick - it becomes a paid repair job via post back to HK.

As a brief update, I have not done anything dumb with my G2 Guardian and have even managed to avoid dropping it. It's still kicking goals and going strong as hell.

Hi everybody, I want to wish you all a happy new year :)

I would really need and appreciate any help :) I bought a used G2 Guardian on Kleinanzeigen in Germany. It worked for a day and suddenly, it wouldn't charge right anymore, crashes, when I unplug it and the Thermal App won't start anymore.

AGM service says, I should contact the seller, who can't help me, because he has no invoice anymore.

I really appreciate any help!

Thanks in advance

Chris

Edit: I managed to get the files from here on a SD card and tried an update, it tells me, it is missing a T card file... can you please support me here? Thanks so much

I ended up clicking on the DSU loader (dynamic system update image) button inside developer options, agreeing with something something android 14 etc etc.... BOOOM phone was in a boot loop to recovery mode.. anything I clicked (start, restart bootloader, reboot recovery, and power off) all ended up back at the same screen so boot.img must be hoopajooped.. (it did say something about device not trusted anymore etc etc) I was able to get it to unlock with fastboot... tried changing to b from a, no response from screen or any button's whatsoever. it is still showing up in the device manager now but only as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (com6) under port's in the device manager. i'm also willing to try almost anything, even though I don't want to lose the data partition i'm sure itlll be goners..... i'm waiting for agm to get back to me. and don't really want to sent it all the way to HK... I also have the latest qpst qfil etc etc ... so i'm going to try and access the files systems later... even if they are encrypted :) :) once the phones running agian the i can put the encrypted stuff back on and see it ...I HOPE :) : ) :) i'll be back here posting updates if I get anywhere with it... the fairphone 5 apparently uses the same processor as the agm phone too so hopefully that will help somehow :)

this mobile is not rugged as described, every time i lose something without any drop..after 2 weeks of buying this mobile at 1000$ audio jack3.5 lost, after one month fingerprint sensor not working, now lost aperture camera not focusing, very bad experience never buy from agm never.
[Device Reviews and Information] pbsavages:
My journey to find the ultimate rugged phone has lead me here. There is relatively little info out there on this G2 guardian. Has anyone rooted it? Found some firmware from their site but had trouble extracting it. How is it flashed? I've used odin and spflashtool to flash previous rugged phones but couldn't find info on this one. This seems like an awesome phone but if I can't root it, not getting it. Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] incognyto1441:
as far as I know nobody has rooted it ... I however was able to change the boot from a to b ... which bricked me hard core... I was originally stuck in fastboot mode... boot looping ... I was able to unlock bootloader to change the boot from a to b ... I'm unsure if that mean's we might be able to get around bootloader signitures or not ... samlenemy, you must have gotten a bunk phonne fore sure... I have personally never had a phone this rugged before ... it soaked it all up no problem .... just don't do what I did ... clicking DSU loader from within the developer options got me stuck in a boot loop.. I'm not sure if it's this thread or not but someone has unpacked the firmware from the website I believe ... I was going to try doing it with binwalk to see what's happens... in order to use the two files that they have on their site you have to uncompress them and put the directory on the root of sd card then VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER .... during boot from off and that does it ... I'm going to try it now ... I think my phone should have DIED by now... been a couple weeks since I touched it ...whom ever unpacked that bin file said there was some firehose files in it too!! maaaaaaybe once I find the other two xml files I can use the qualcom qpst stuff to flash the g2 over 9008 mode... ???

also the zoomed in mode that the guardian is stuck in is kinda crap I prefer the g2 pro because you don't have to get far away to see stuff in the thermal mode... GOD i miss the thermal mode .....

Thanks for the quick reply. I think I'll pass on this one. I'm using a rooted Ulefone 18T but the GPS is failing. Couldn't find a good rootable new tough phone, broke down and just got a Pixel 8. I can always use the FLIR on this on if I need it.. root is essential, can't do it without it.

Hi all,

does anyone know whether the device has an FM radio receiver? i have found contradictory information on the internet.

Some sites mention that it should have one, but i can't find any more detailed information about it.
[Device Reviews and Information] incognyto1441:
pretty sure there is not an fm radio on the g2 ... mine's still dead so I can't verify that but I don't remember seeing one ever... :) :) ...

speaking of my g2... it's still dead... sitting on the table behind me ... not entirely to sure what is wrong with customer service down at AGM ... but they aren't responding to any email's ... I have spoken with some dude on the agm facebook page ... even he has tried emailing service@agm.com and nothing's working.... i'm about to pull the screen on this thing so I can try booting into EDL (or ELD) mode ... I would like to try and flash something on this thing so that it's not just a paper weight... I really do miss the therrmal camera also!!!! OH OH OH ... I'm pretty stoked about this... unsure how or if this will help but I was playing around on the Qualcomm website ... and someone started a project with the 6490 soc and another one ... I downloaded the entire project... it looks like there is firehose and patch0.xml and the other needed file. I can't even get back to where the project was on the qualcomm website. anyways.... bunch of files in the archive say proprietary, so hopefully i don't get in to much crap for uploading a couple of em :) ... i'll put a link to my google drive. in a short while... but yeah looks lke there is firmware, firehose files, patch and program xml's. the whole SHEBANG. I'll have some time in the next few day's to try and program my phone :) I really don't like the nexus 5 I have ... when I get the G2 running again i'll turn the nexus 5 into a nethunter kali linux phone....

here's the link ... https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mEcuzYdzaJFsdLp7zJFHKp08481UaBCC?usp=sharing

I have been trying to flash a few things with this firehose, patch and partition.xml etc. I have the screen off the phone trying to get it into edl mode.. not having any luck finding right connection's... might have to just try shorting some of them out ... (generally not a good idea) only one of the four pair's or test points has some voltage at it.. 1.7 volt's on the two to the left of the screen connector.. so i would think that voltage would be for the processor ?? the two test points by the battery Im going to try first.. maybe ... hahaha .. .I dunno I'm kinda chicken!! ... appologies for the curse words mr Oswald.
[Device Reviews and Information] borstie22:
Hi,

just a little (bad) update: the fingerprint sensor of my pre-ordered G2 was also defective after a couple of months (normal use) and was replaced under warranty in Germany - it took serveral weeks and the repair wasn't professional (the screen wasn't glued in correctly anymore and even detachted partially when the phone was held facing downward .... I had to give it some firm presses to 'reattach' it - I don't want to know how much is left of the MIL-rating) .......... Now the sensor starts failing once more. Also some apps randomly loose their settings. Sometime ago I contacted AGM concerning new Android versions and they told me that there is nothing planned (very statisfying for a flagship).

I'm not mad at AGM - it was my 'cheap Chincese alternative' after I was fed up with CAT and I knew that there was a risk (I was a loyal CAT customer and got the good and the bad of their full lineup). I really wish there was a quality brand for rugged devices with sate of the art hardware (the QCM chipset was one of the main reasons that got me to AGM ....). A top of the line rugged phone that get updates and that I can trust for more than 1.5 years would be cool: Blackview, Oukitel, Ulefone and so on don't sound any better than AGM. Maybe Kyocera is worth a try or I have to let go off the rugged features and go with 'reliable mainstream stuff'.

I'll wait until the end of the year (Android 15 and QCM SD 8 Gen 4) but the replacement of the G2 seems inevitable to me.

So long,

Kevin
[Device Reviews and Information] pbsavages:
Thanks for sharing this. I almost got this phone. Curious, did you root it? I had good luck with the Blackview BV 9900 Pro hardware wise but it was stuck on Android 9 when 12 came out. Currently rocking a Pixel 8.

Edit- I had a Kyocera duraforce IU and the camera glass shattered in 2 weeks.
[Device Reviews and Information] borstie22:
Nope, phone is stock so far ;-)

Good to know that Kyocera isn't all good ..... Maybe this is a nice niche for a future brand (depending on the consumer demand).

Hi guys. I have problem with my galaxy note 10. My GPS in not working properly. When I'm moving slowly is fine, but in using by car is not get correct position. Any solution? I'm using android 12 one UI 4.1 . Everything is up to date.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] khusika:
Hi @mishlety ,

Have you tried to test your GPS using GPS Test?

If it goes fail, that's probably happens due to denial location permission of com.google.android.gms.

Try to grant it manually using terminal

pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

or from adb shell

adb shell pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
adb shell pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] glenner05:
This has bothered me since long time, on several wear os watches. Problem is the following:

I have currently a samsung fold 4 and a samsung watch 5 pro LTE (but i've had the problem on other devices too in the past, al wear os devices).

When the watch is connected through bluetooth there is not a single issue. If i have my phone on the table for several hours, while not touching it, all notifications are instantly pushed to the watch, no delays.

However, when i leave my phone at home and going out with my watch only, it will correctly switch over to LTE connection and there the problems start. When my phone is recently used (few minutes ago) the watch can establish a remote connection. At that moment al notifications are pushed to the watch, almost no delays. However, after a while, usually within 30 a 60 minutes the notifications start to be delayed, and even the remote connection just stops (seeing the disconnected symbol on the watch). also sending messages or replying them on the watch is instantly and correct at first, but starts to fail after a while.

It seems like the google cloud sync service is killed after a while on the phone, preventing the forwarding of phone notifications to the watch over LTE (cloud sync). I tried everyting on my samsung phone, changing the battery optimizations of all samsung wearable apps and plugins, google apps, play service etc... I turned of as many battery saving features i could find on my phone, but no luck. If i leave the phone on the charger, the cloud sync keeps working for a longer time, but agian, ofter some time it will slow down, starting with unablity to reply or send messages from the watch, to complete disconnection... Al this while the internet connections on the phone and watch are rock stable...

Has anybody any clue why this happens?? Is there some trick or setting i overlooked? Does anybody know which app or service on the phone (samsung) is responsible for this google cloud sync?

again, this is not only on this phone-watch combo, i had several wear os watches from different brands in the past, but mostly samsung flagship phones. I cant believe that two samsung devices are not software optimized so these issues cant happen... I always bought LTE watches so i could go for a run or go to the gym phone free, is brilliant when it works, but VERY annoying when it usualy is not reliable.... I'm thinking even to switch to the apple camp, hoping those issues are not present on apple watch cellular... But i like samsung devices more then iphone ....

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mad06STi:
Hey everyone,

I have a Sprint Touch and have been looking for a decent youtube experience for quite awhile.

I really liked the UI of the Diamond YouTube app (and that of the iphone), but the high quality videos wouldn't play very well at all on my touch. The other option of course is youtubeplay, which plays videos well, but the UI definitely was not to my liking. The other functions seem nice, but my main desire is quick and easy browsing.

So I decided to write my first ever windows mobile application. It's extremely simple, but it gets the job done; quick barebones youtube browsing.

Technically, the app is not very intelligent at all. All it does is request and parse html/xml and creates a playlist file, which it passes onto TCPMP. So if youtube decides to change its URLs the app will most likely break.

Requirements:

- .NET Compact Framework 3.5

- TCPMP with .flv playing capabilities.

***NOTE: TCPMP *must* be installed on your device in \Program Files\TCPMP, the app assumes this location.

I don't intend to work on this anymore(aside from fixing bugs) as it was just a Windows Mobile learning experience for me, but since I put in the time I thought I might as well share it here. I hope it is useful to others.

Disclaimer: I did little testing and debugging. I sat down and wrote this thing in less than 2 days. Bugs are likely. If you encounter a bug, I'd be more than happy to try and fix it. Just let me know how to recreate the bug in this thread.
