That's your opinion, which you are entitled to. I bought the 7a about a month ago, and have had no signal problems at all. My last Google phone was the Nexus 6, and I had no problems with that one either.
[Google Pixel 7a] drchips42:
Before my 7a i was with my Sam A71 ( running andrid 13 stock ) . So going to this phone was like using a kids toy. However , the phone is fast , skinned with in an inch of its life . I cant use the minimal look , so put Nova on there , all is fine , bar a few google widgets that dont work . The screen is not that good, not as clear as my sammy or bright . the Power button and volume swap is a bit of a pain . Bar that , works very well. Radio is good, no poor reception ( had the same sim on my a71 ) 5G , when its avilible is awsome 282 Meg is the max so far. I have fibre at home maxes out at 78 LOL

The phone is good ... i have a case , and screen protector it links to all my google stuff at home with no issues , as you would expect . Will it beat my A71 ? hopfully , but not yet ..
[Google Pixel 7a] Devnikolus:
I'm looking to buy a PIxel 7a. But a bit worried because of complaints about battery life and heating issues. So can you good folks tell me whats what? Especially after android 14 update. I'll prefer if your assessment is based on stock rom. Also does fingerprint scanner have issues?
[Google Pixel 7a] drchips42:
I have a UK 7a, stock rom , no issues with battery . I have a work iphone15 , that is terrible, it keeps me warm in the cold days.. My 7a is fine , the finger print is good... the last update solved any issues there .. waiting for the december update :) Its a good phone .
[Google Pixel 7a] Wilbo2016:
I still haven't experienced overheating and I haven't noticed any problems with the GPS or the display performance, but the battery drain when idle was ridiculous no matter what settings I tweaked. Suddenly, after the December update and feature drop which arrived yesterday, the battery drain issue looks solved.

I really like the 7a for the overall performance. The image/screen quality suits me as it's more natural than the over saturated colours of the Chinese and Korean makes, and the cameras and photo software are way better than any other mid ranger and better than most flagships.

Sim card problems

My Touchcruise has got problems to read Sim cards again. First repair solved the problem for about three weeks. I hope they are able to fix it in the second try.
[Touch Cruise General] vissielmoro:
Same happens to mi and I've found no solution so far. Maybe replacing the SIM socket will help.

Do you know what they did to solve the problem.

I'm getting crazy with this SIM card missing...

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] :
Hello everyone.

My A510F device was bricked many years ago and the shop "service" that time said to me that the processor is "defective" - no chance to restore the device. Therfore it was sleeping in the shelf. Now - with a little bit more knowledge - I tried to re-animate the device. And I realized that the processor neither is dead...

After plugging the device to power the error screen (https://www.blogtechtips.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/An-error.jpg) occured.

The SMART SWITCH software did not help because there is no backup of that device existing anymore.

So therefore I unbricked it with Hagards "Frp HiJacker". Now the device is starting normally again - but needing the former google account verification.

FRP-removing by Hagards software failed. As well failed with SamFW.com FRP tool.

And restarting after factory reset the device statement occured that the reset was "not authorized" - so FRP failed.

And the normal Google verifying way does not work as well because the former account does not exist anymore for long time, as well as not the phone number anymore is existing. Restoring the google account by google support failed also - "not possible anymore" because cancelling account is "too long ago".

So I still need to bypass the Google Account verifivation for this device. And I do not really like to pay for FRP removing services like 4uKey & Co. because needing it for one device only.

Therefore my question:

So is there any other possibility for FRP removing in device download mode by using ODIN software?

Is there any flashing file especially for FRP removing?

Device details:

Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 [A510F]

Model SM-A510FZKADBT

CRC code DBT

Android 7

Accu battery reloaded 100% (...of course...)

The device is NOT rooted and as well I sadly have no access to any "normal" Android setting possibilities at the device. Therefore adjusting "OEM Unlock" or "USB debugging" is not possible.

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] iusmanabbasi:
Hi there,

I have searched numerous threads and questions regarding rooting OnePlus 7T here. I have a OnePlus 7T 1907 T-Mobile running on Android 12. The phone is already career-unlocked. I can also enable "OEM Unlocking" option from the developer mode. I have requested the bootloader unlock token from OnePlus/T-Mobile. I want to root it without converting it to a global variant. Later on, I'd like to unroot it and then lock the bootloader.

I have seen some people posting problems when converting it to a global variant and I'd not like to go this route. How can I root this T-mobile variant without converting to global variant?

I'd highly appreciate your help here.
[Android Head-Units] angonfe:
Hi,

I have an Android 11 head unit installed in my Mercedes-Benz V-Class with the latest version of z-Link. I have managed, through an automation of shortcuts, to direct the sound to the OEM Bluetooth of my Mercedes and thus take advantage of the best sound quality compared to the AUX connection. Therefore, every time CarPlay is connected, the sound output automatically changes from localhost (AUX) to MB Bluetooth. It works perfectly with music, but not with the vocal instructions of Waze, Tomtom, Google, and others. When there is a voice command, the music pauses but the command cannot be heard. And it's not just that the instructions cannot be heard, but also the sound output switches back to localhost on its own and you have to manually switch it back to Bluetooth. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
[Android Head-Units] tpleonard:
Following as I have the exact same issue.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] F7usa:
my device is locked in fastboot after flashing gsi, i tried all but nothing, so i locked the bootloader, i know i'm dumb but i was and i am desperate, solutions? idk if there is still a rom in because it was empty and i tried the fastboot method to reflash rom like flash boot.img and vbmeta.img and others (nothing changed).
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] F7usa:
UPDATE, i unlocked the bootloader but the problem is still here, i tried to flash rom with fastboot but it fails with system and vendor, i think that's the problem.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] HatMan22:
logs? photos? how you flashed? what you flashed?
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] BubuXP:
Supposing your bootloader is unlocked, just follow this guide taken from this Mi official page.

Method 2: Fastboot Update

Note

A Windows PC/laptop will be needed for the following steps. Make sure that your device is fully charged or has enough power for this process. This guide will help you update your device to the latest MIUI ROM version. All user data will be purged in this process. Please back up your data and think twice before proceeding.

STEP 1

Download MIUI ROM Flashing Tool (Size: 66.7 MB)

STEP 2

Select the right MIUI ROM version for your phone:

★ Redmi Note 11 [spes] Global

★ Redmi Note 11 NFC [spesn] Global

★ Redmi Note 11 NFC [spesn] Europe

★ Redmi Note 11 NFC [spesn] Russia

STEP 3

Turn off the device. Press the Volume– key and the Power button at the same time to enter Fastboot mode. Then connect the device to the Windows PC/laptop via a USB cable

STEP 4

Double click on the downloaded ROM file to decompress it. Open the file folder for the decompressed ROM pack, and copy its path on the computer.

STEP 5

Decompress the MIUI ROM flashing tool downloaded in Step 1, and double click on it to install (if there is security warning, select 'Run'). After installation is completed, open MiFlash.exe and paste into the address bar the ROM file folder path copied in the last step.

Click on the first button (circled out in yellow) to Refresh, and MiFlash should automatically recognize the device. Then click the second button (circled out in red) to flash the ROM file to the device.

STEP 6

Wait until the progress bar inside MiFlash turns fully green, which means the ROM has been successfully installed. Then your device should automatically boot to the new version.

If the flashing guide could not help you, please download Mi PC Suite here (after Mi PC Suite is installed, make sure that your phone is in fastboot mode, connect your phone to a computer, and select the correct ROM file to flash).

[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vicehare:
I have a BQ Aquaris X2 Pro (zangyapro), but I am out of luck because it is not only not out of Lineage and TWRP suppport, but all former builds have been removed from servers so I cannot even get an old build.

Despite the wrong documentation on Lineage OS site, I managed to unlock it with these steps:

Boot the stock ROM

Activate developer options by multiple tap on build number in System info.

Connect to internet such that the "OEM unlock" checker in Developer options appear.

Check the option "OEM unlock".

Reboot to bootloader (Power off, then Power+Vol down buttons or "adb reboot bootloader")

To unlock the bootloader, instead of "fastboot oem unlock" as the docs say, it works with "fastboot flashing unlock"

Flashing a recovery ist not possible, instead just boot from the bootloader into the recovery with something like "fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-zangyapro.img"

TWRP will ask for a decryption password because the stock rom has encryption for the data partition. Just cancel that.

Now format the data partition. This fails with the TWRP 3.3.1.0 because it cannot re-mount the formatted partition. Changing File system to ext2 or back to ext4 via TWRP as someone suggested does not help here.

Going to adb sideload with TWRP and "adb sideload my-rom.img.zip" fails with "adb: sideload connection failed: insufficient permissions for device"; this is not a permission problem on the computer (I use OpenSuse linux), it seems to be a TWRP problem; after all, I had connection with adb before.

It turns out that other threads say TWRP ist buggy for this device. This is why the Lineage OS recovery should be used. But all images have vanished. No newer TWRP, no Lineage OS image. All I have is an /e/ OS image, but without a working recovery, I cannot flash it.

Could anyone with a working recovery please stack it somewhere for me and others? And for the Lineage maintainers: It is okay to seize support for a device, but please leave the latest image on the server, that is far better than nothing.

Thanks in advance!
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Ricardoch:
Hi,

Although a little late, maybe I can give you some hope.

I'm glad that someone is still giving life to such device, I still use it, I think is a good phone for my needs and do not deserve being discarded.

Concerning TWRP my experience is that version 3.5 works, at least to backup phone, I didn't tried to restore anything yet.

I got it here, so search around there's somewhere a link or even a direct download, but can't search right now.

I used it as ADB executable, without installing it.

It asked password, but I cancelled and worked fine. My phone isn't locked if it helps to understand.

Concerning Lineage I don't understand as well why it dissapeared, but seems that there's not a single copy in the whole internet.

I think I have an old version somewhere, I think it's 16.0, maybe too old for you, but if it's of your interest I can search it and try to leave it somewhere.

Regards and keep going.

So I bought the head-unit below almost a year ago.

This year, our country decided to restore daylight time saving.

This issue was sorted out on the phone (android) with a system update.

Is this the same with the head-unit?

I've tried changing the time zone, but google maps doesn't update and it shows the arrival time an hour before the actual arrival time.

To my understanding, to update the system I have to download the new firmware from their website, and then use a USB stick.

Should I download the one starting with "L10P8-MIPI" ignoring if the rest don't match the system info below?

Thank you in advance.

[Android TV General] donmega_icecube:
set your new launcher as default, then go to settings > apps and disable the factory launcher, reboot and try again
[Android TV General] amethystdene:
I tried it, it just reenables it
[Android TV General] donmega_icecube:
well, you could try to uninstall the default launcher, but first set the new launcher as default.

you'll need root access for that, and most of these boxes have root access by default.

so just search google play for a system app remover, just make sure you're removing the correct app so you don't blame me for messing up your box :)
[Android TV General] amethystdene:
I'm kinda nervous at deleting system apps, by the way I am gonna sleep rn

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] kevinspage:
I have a PC with a USB3 port connected to a 3d printed phone holder I designed. It has the power jack built into the base so when I insert the s23 I can accsess the files, pics and videos on the phone as well as fast charge using the high current usb3 standard. When I go to leave in the morning the phone has less than 90% charge as even thought he PC provides power when off over night the phone recognizes that the PC is off and stops charging. My old LG phone and any other device I plug in receives power from this USB connection even though the PC is off. According to Samsung I'm told to use a Samsung Charger. The USB spec was designed to charge and send data. I hate leaving without a full charge. Is there a workaround for this issue? Thanks! ~Kevin www.kevinspage.com
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Not phone-related or OEM related. It's your PC (setup) that doesn't supply power to your phone while the PC is off.

You can check your BIOS settings and see if you can configure some of the USB ports you use to deliver power even when the PC is in an OFF state.

Keep in mind that not ALL motherboards support a power delivery while the PC is off.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] kevinspage:
Been there done that. Already set to power when pc is off. If you read my post you can see where I made it very clear the PC is providing power to the USB port when PC is off. Here is a quote "My old LG phone and any other device I plug in receives power from this USB connection even though the PC is off" My other phone and any other devices I connect get power on the port when the PC is off. I believe some leftist save the planet policy has caused them to program the phone to not charge when the PC is off.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Keep in mind that there are different power states when the PC is OFF vs ON.

You might not get a "full" USB 3.x power output while the PC is off but rather just a limited one like 0.5Amps or 0.8Amps.

Is your base (dock) just a simple "PORT" or is there any PCB built in? Maybe the power delivery is reversed, so your phone is supplying power instead of receiving it.
