[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] dd180:
Hi,

I bought from second hand a Pixel 4a to be able to install lineageOS (it is well supported).

When I got it, I checked the GPS, wifi,... but not phone calls nor SMS as I did not have the SIM card yet. Then I installed lineageOS (so unlocking the bootloader and proceeding the installation) before putting a SIM card.

A few days after lineageOS was installed, I got the SIM card and installed it. The SIM card is found (the PIN has to be typed at boot, the phone number is visible in the settings), but the phone do not register against my provider (Free/Proxad in France). I always get "Emergency call only".

I saw then that the lineageos installation page says that "Make sure that you can send and receive SMS and place and receive calls (also via WiFi and LTE, if available), otherwise it won’t work on LineageOS either!". My bad!

I then tried to reinstall the official image (using https://developers.google.com/android/images). I used the Factory images with the flash_all.sh script. All worked well. I even issued "fastboot flashing lock" to relock the bootloader (its state is now "locked" in green when I boot). However, even with the stock image, with bootloader locked, the pixel is still unable to use the SIM card. I tried two different SIM cards that work well in other phones. Talking with my phone provider, he does not seen the association between the SIM card and the IMEI of the Pixel.

So, I'm under the impression that the Pixel is not able to correctly register itself with the SIM card. Is it due to the fact that I installed lineageOS before puting a SIM card? It seems strange because the phone has probably be used before I bought it (the warrantly ended in december 2022, so the Pixel probably bought at least one year ago. However the OS were already updated to Android 13, so the phone must have been used).

Anyway, does someone have an idea about how to allow my Pixel to use the SIM card (so I can put calls and read/write SMS)?

Currently, my pixel has the latest stock rom with the bootloader locked. All is working but the phone (calls and SMS) part.

Regards

I've made a mod to increase the minimal brightness of Realme GT 2

Installing it requires root and magisk:

1. Download GT2MinBrightnessMod-[version].zip on the phone,

2. Open magisk,

3. Go to modules,

4. Click "install from storage",

5. Choose the file,

6. Reboot

To customize the minimum brightness change the min value from this file and reboot:

[root]/my_product/vendor/etc/display_brightness_config_samsung1024.xml (look for <brightness_table max="8191" min="2000"> )

This is tested only on my Realme GT2 (RMX3311/GDPR), Android 13 firmware C.10

Enjoy!
[Realme GT 2] BR4UTAL:
Great one, Alternatively you can also access the hidden "Extra Dim" option through the inbuilt settings if you wish to lower minimum brightness far beyond

Hi, i'm new here, but i searched everywhere.

My phone (g8s thinQ European version) is freezing and rebooting after connecting it to via chargeport. Wireless works fine.

My question: does anyone know, what the problem could be or has anyone a kind of service manual für disassembly and fixing the motherboard? I really don't want to buy a new one as long as this is not absolutely needed (a chip repair would be sufficient).

thanks in advance

Edit:

A replacement pcb-board with charge connector made no difference...this seems to be fine
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] boarschti:
Hi, i reached out to a specialist for phone repairs, i cannot repair it myself. he said, as log as he has no access to schematics or something like this, he is not able to repair it. my options: buy a new phone or find a working mainboard or get the documents to repair. so i choose the last option first :D

[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] malimt:
Dear ROG community,

I'm pleased to be considering the ROG 7 ULTIMATE because I'm a mobile gamer, and this would be an excellent achievement!

Now, after saving for some time, it's finally time to splurge on this bad boy. My only issue is, I don't know which version to get because the price difference is significant. I can go with the CN version but with global rom pre-installed or pay $500 or so more for the global version. Thoughts?

Would you guys think it's worth dishing out an additional $500 for a global version when the CN version has global rom pre-installed? I'm also curious about the network bands, so if anyone here has the CN version of either ROG 7 or 7 Ultimate, I'd love to hear from ya!

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer me!
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] Andrologic:
Genuine WW version all the way if you ask me. Just look through the ROG forums here and see some of the pain and waste of just time people with converted devices go through...

Converted devices have also been unlocked and re-locked and may cause trouble with the ASUS unlock tool if you ever need to lock/re-relock later, not to mention that a converted device has been tampered with by someone before you and in theory compromised from a security perspective. Finally there is the network bands, etc, etc...

Try to find one cheaper though, $500 bucks is indeed a lot of money!
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] malimt:
This couldn't be said any better. I'll look into it more and see if I'm able to locate a cheaper one. I appreciate your time, fellow XDA patriot!
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] XTEX12:
I'm in the same situation as you. I'm thinking about importing a Chinese version with Global ROM from AliExpress, as it's way cheaper.

According to GSM Arena, the bands available for each model are:

4G

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 32, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 48, 66 - International

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 29, 30, 32, 34, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 48, 66, 71 - USA

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 18, 19, 26, 28, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 48 - China

5G

1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 12, 18, 20, 25, 26, 28, 38, 40, 41, 48, 66, 77, 78, 79 SA/NSA/Sub6 - International

1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 12, 18, 20, 25, 26, 29, 30, 38, 40, 41, 48, 66, 71, 77, 78, 79 SA/NSA/Sub6 - USA

1, 3, 5, 8, 28, 41, 77, 78, 79 SA/NSA/Sub6 - China

You can also use this site to check which bands work in your country: https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/US/asus-rog-phone-7-ultimate

In my case, I wouldn't have problems with the bands, since the Chinese version has all the 4G bands I need. 5G isn't available yet where I live and looks like it will take a long time to arrive.

On AliExpress there's a seller named ROG Official Store, does anyone know if this is really their real store?
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] Johnnysausage:
I have purchased my rog 7 normal edition from Ali express with the global rom on it. I have checked my build number and it says "WW_33.0820.0810.121"

So I'm hoping that mine is the worldwide version.

It's an excellent phone!

2 months til I break it, going off my average!
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] SickBirdi3:
I remember the first time I saw this phone, I drooled....haha I am seriously contemplating buying the premium model. I really like the Nothing 2 as well but I am a gamer and want those air triggers!
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] malimt:
Thanks for the contribution, guys! I still haven't purchased it because it's 1,550 USD before taxes here, so I'm holding off for the time being. I'm hoping to either grab one when the new version releases, or just save a bit more and buy the next gen outright. I may also be considering the OnePlus 11, as it's cheaper and offers similar specifications.

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Helio.Helix-One:
I am not responsible for any mishaps you may do on your device!

Prerequisites​

Unlocked bootloader (Obviously 😛)

Must've installed android_sdk/platform-tools, if not download and install it here, afterwards extract it to somewhere easily accessible

The recovery itself, to which you may download it here officially, and place it inside to where the android_sdk/platform-tools where extracted

A personal computer 😘

Steps

Reboot to fastboot and plug your USB cable to your PC

On your PC launch command prompt to where the extracted android_sdk/platform-tools are

Verify if your PC detects your device by inserting fastboot devices if your device is not detected you may need to install specific driver for your device.

Flash the respective recovery image using fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img (replace <recovery_filename> with the actual filename!)

After installation verify if recovery is installed by rebooting to recovery using fastboot reboot recovery

You are done, congratulations! 🥳

Does this work for Redmi note 11?

I'm having issues on my recovery mode, my touch is not responding (TWRP installed), but works in normal boot with some problems (this happened after I changed my screen)

So can this recovery install custom roms and also work with the volume buttons?

Introduction

A powerful terminal app/bat file leveraging adb and fastboot.... Easily manage your device with swift features. Take control of many aspects with a single & clean command-line interface.

Features & Scripts

If you have NORA, don't be afraid of any feature. Proper instructions and "choices" are given for critical processes. Feel free to explore the features.

You can definitely view the scripts using notepad++.

Current features:

[1] Debloat​

[2] Restore Bloatwares​

[3] Lightweight Stuffs​

[4] Install Dark Theme​

[5] Auto Root​

[6] Enable Camera2API​

[7] Clear All Cache​

[9] Extract stock ROM​

Additional:

Device name

Battery

Free storage

CPU temperature

Battery temperature

Advantages

Clean app drawer.

Less system resources usage.

Less ram usage eliminating many extra processes & using lightweight stuffs.

Less battery usage (eg. flipping the phone won't show time. If you need that, keep/restore moto display)

Best chosen dark themes for android oreo with better app modification.

Automatically root without hassle.

Enable camera 2 api to get extra camera controls in apps having c2api feature.

Clear all app cache and free up vast amount of storage after long time usage.

Install stock rom. Instructions included.

Check out what's actually inside your stock rom by extracting it. For example- boot animation , wallpapers, apks etc.

QNA

All listed apps are safe to remove?

As per my experience, yes !

How does it free up storage?

Bloatwares are stored in system partition but in their factory version. That space can't be freed up and can't even be used in data partition. Moto shell runs various scripts for each app. One of them is removing all updates from the app and making it factory version. The updated data gets out of data partition and thus you get around 1 gb free storage.

What about performance?

It definitely gets slightly improved. You can take some extra steps for performance with some apps like Kernel auditor, Root booster, SD maid, Link2sd which actually work with the power of root.

Why is it not showing accurate free storage?

The command responsible for this shows the result and the value gets displayed on screen. It probably shows 300-400 mb less free storage than the value in settings > storage. However, that should not be a huge concern as its main intention is to let you see how much free storage is available before and after debloating / clearing cache.

Download

Make sure recommended Adb and fastboot drivers are properly installed. Instructions can be found here.

The entire thread has now been updated, which took a considerable amount of time due to my busy schedule with exams
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Helio.Helix-One:
Howdy! I'll explain here what happened, first and foremost I myself love tweaking and customizing especially getting rid of bloated apps to which I did! This includes some system apps that hardly affect the system itself, after the process of getting rid of those pesky apps I rebooted, and guess what happens? Boom! The lock screen rejects my password even though it is correct.

I hope someone could explain what I just experienced, luckily I had no important data there so I alternatively reset my device.​
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] blackhawk:
Welcome to XDA

Sounds like you disabled or uninstalled a needed dependency for unlocking. Most of the small manufacturer system apps should left alone. Know exactly what you're disabling does and any known dependencies. Target the known battery hogs and trashware like Device Wellbeing.
[General Questions and Answers] CassanRoz:
Hello,

I'm a newbie here so I hope I'm not doing mistakes, writting in wring place, etc. And English is not my native language...

My phone recently update from android 12 to android 13.

I noticed something a bit weird later. Here are the steps:

1- I start a software using internet (firefox, etc) . I go on some websites.

2- I set the network off (wifi off, 4G/3G/etc off) using the network screen

3- but the software can keep surfing on internet ! :oops:

In fact, as long as I do not restart the software, it stay connected to internet.

I first noticed this while hearing radio on internet using VLC. Despite having put the wifi off and not put on the cellular data (proper words?), I noticed the radio keep working. It never did that on android 12: as soon as I put the wifi/ cellular data off, the connection was interrupted.

What is happening?

PS: my hypothesis is that android keeps the connection on or switch from wifi to data automatically... But I've no idea how to test it.
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
I think it should be that you didn't turn off both mobile data and wifi properly.

To turn off both mobile data and Wi-Fi, tap on the Internet tile in Quick settings. Then turn off the toggles next to Wi-Fi and cellular service provider’s name.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You may need to boot into stock recovery and wipe the cache, this is necessary sometimes after updating to remove any conflicting data from before the update that is causing things to be buggy.
[General Questions and Answers] CassanRoz:
Late answer, was kinda busy.

Thank you for your answer. I've sadly tried what you said but it doesn't change. See below for detailed answer.

Thank you for your answer.

I read here what you mean by "boot into stock recovery and wipe the cache".

But I don't know if I can do that.

I've an XR20...

The only option when going to fastboot are :

"START" "Power off" "Restart bootloader"

No possibility to wipe the cache.

While I'm at it.

I played with network option. To test the internet connection, I use termux and run

ping www.google.com

I use the " toggles next to Wi-Fi and cellular service provider’s name" to put network on off.

Here are the results in sequential order.

"Ping ok" means: internet connection available. "No ping" means no connection. (!) means unexpected behavior.

wifi on and cellular off => ping ok

wifi off and cellular off => no ping

wifi off and cellular on => ping ok

wifi off and cellular off => ping ok (!)

wifi off and cellular on => ping ok

wifi off and cellular off => ping ok (!)

wifi off and airplane mode activated and cellular off or on => no ping

wifi off and and cellular off and airplane mode disable => ping ok (!).

Then I exit termux (using the hard method (force quit)) and then activate the airplane mode, then disable it:

wifi off and and cellular off and airplane mode disable => no ping

So in fact, it looks like once an app has asked for cellular data, the cellular data are kept on, whatever the network toggle in quick setting is set.

By the way, and just in case (1):

it reminds me than when I updated to android 13, sms couldn't send anymore pics when off network. I had to update some parameters to make it work again. (From what I understand from doing a little search, you have to "allow mms when your cellular data are disabled"). Think I had to update my APN too (I used the configuration suggested on the official website of my phone provider).

Could that be the source of the troubles?

(1) good old stuff I was taught the hard way: try to remember everything you did on your computer the day it failed. Even insignificant stuff can be the cause of huge trouble...
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
In fastboot, connect to PC, open a adb/fastboot terminal,type this command.

fastboot erase cache

Also, try going to your system settings>apps and find the apps on the app list that are using data in the background and disable background data usage for those apps.
