[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] _GRIZZLY_:
This is now my case combo ;).

Front are from Samsung eco leather case, back Spigen Slim armor pro with stick double tape and printed by 3d printer pen holester (pen from slim pen case).

So to bulid this case form use 3 other ;).

But still looking for "perfect" clear case. Tried Arrare 360 without adhesive but return it. Case look like nail box and front form factor easy moves. Overall very cheap feeling.

I consider Spigen Thin Fit pro clear. Read opinions and overall this is sibling version Slim Armor Pro.

Anybody have this Thin fit Pro clear and share impressions?

There are little slimmer than Armor?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] RussianSolja:
Direct Link. SUPCASE Unicorn beetle pro. By far the best case I've used so far to date. Some might argue that it makes the phone bulky but I don't mind the bulk at all. Provides great protection and comes with an s-pen holder. If you're into bulky cases that provide great protection I suggest you get this case. You'll thank me later.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] RussianSolja:
Don't do it... You'll regret it!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] RussianSolja:
I had the spigen fit pro and it was a pure disappointment. All it did was leave gunk around my phone and provided zero to no protection let alone never closed correctly. It left a huge gap in the phone then closed. Stay away...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] _GRIZZLY_:
Thanks for reply. So what can I see with hinge protection best option are probably still slim armor pro and clear case without hinge cover. Maybe it's good solution in future to slimmer carry Fold because now my combination case are very bulky :)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] kat3k:
I'm using Samsung Z Fold 4 leather, silicone and stand cases with good fit. I drill a clean hole to allow for the camera flash, and am pretty happy with the savings. Also, the model offerings are not the same for both phones and I like the stand case and the silicone one better for the 4 than the 5.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] Deiota77:
I have the Ice Blue & Black w/ S Pen Slim cases because i love the s pen and love writing and working with it (got used witth my S22 ultra and after that with my tablet s8 ultra. Have a Pitaka Carbon Fiber case for a more refined situation and a Supcase UB PRO Red case for the opposite (includes an S pen holder).​

Hope it helps.​

PS - I bought a second blue S pen case and I think it was fake because it was like some people complain with the pen falling of the case.My first one (I lost my s per ) and the black one don't have that problem 🤔

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] Kamlesh96:
I'm not using a case but skin for my Z Fold 5. Since, it's sleek fold phone and also pricey i prefer using skins. It adds style with protection from scratches and it isn't bulky unlike a case.

PS. I went for this sandstone yellow skin from Gadgetshieldz.
[Touch HD General] Candy-men:
Hi Folks,

as we all know the Touch HD hasn´t any Video Output. But the Touch Pro has one, and the Chipset should be the same. So is there anybody who has ever looked inside the two devices to find out what are the hardware-differences especially in graphic chipsets and peripherical parts?Are there Photos of the PCB´s to compare?

I really don´t think that its a Software issue to get Video-Output...
[Touch HD General] dazza9075:
This is the answer! forget messing about with drivers and reg entries, we dont even know it had the ability to do it!

we need chipset pictures of both devices, id actually suggest comparing the Diamond and the Pro rather than the HD since it is almost identical in many more ways with the same question regarding its TV out abilites.

My thoughts are that there is going to be a nice wee bit of silicon sitting there doing the hard work for the PRO and it will be missing on the Diamond and HD.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jasix86:
Sorry to bug you guys, it seems hard to figure this out conclusively. Some people say this is enough, others say it's possible it's still not unlockable.

Can I verify with you all what I believe is a good way to proceed:

I put my sim in the phone to verify the carrier is unlocked.

Then I go and enable developer tools and enable OEM unlocking sms USB debugging.

Turn off phone, turn back on, and verify if those settings remain enabled?

Is that right? Ty!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LLStarks:
Never boot with a sim.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jake.99x3:
You will be able to check if "Enable OEM Unlocking' is greyed out or not without entering your sim card. Do this and unlock/root before entering your SIM if you want to be safe. You can look up the IMEI number to see if it's black listed
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
There are also check IMEI sites that will distinguish whether the IMEI/device is a carrier variant (and what carrier I believe) or not (global/Google Store bought)....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] webhook:
You can check the IMEI via Google... They have a tool for it
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I've heard that, do you know what the tool is called and/or if you can point towards it?

But does it also divulge if the tool also differentiates if a device is a carrier variant or not? Most IMEI checkers tell whether or not it's blacklisted, not necessarily what variant it is....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] webhook:
View attachment 5964205

Think it's the Google Store Repair page.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] _umbra:
Also, ANY phone bought under US CARRIERS will be bootloader locked. US phone carriers don't want people unlocking their bootloaders. The OEMs are a little bit more lenient though.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jasix86:
Okay, thank you for the advice! So I find the plethora of kinda scammy looking IMEI checker sites to be overwhelming. Do you have one you personally recommend?

I need to know if it's carrier unlocked, and not black listed or anything that would be bad, right?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jasix86:
Yeah I heard AT&T and T-Mobile support unlocking once the phone is paid off and carrier unlocked or something, but Verizon is hard locked forever.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
The one webhook suggested in Post #7 does the exact thing you are asking -- and since it is an official Google page; it's highly doubtful it's "scammy"....

If you look at webhook's screenshot, it says VZ (meaning it's a Verizon variant; I imagine if it stated TO for T-Mobile or AT for AT&T or something). I believe it states UN for UNlocked or something. I have another site that showed the same kind of information -- but it does seem a lot more "scammy looking" than Google's official store page....

[Google Pixel 6a] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
Anyone with a METROBYTMOBILE pixel 6a can confirm bootloader unlocking is available before 180 days??

I really need to know before I purchase online??

Anyone thanks...
[Google Pixel 6a] ForForkSake:
For you guys across the pond, the only way to have an unlocked pixel 6a (within first 180 days) is if the device is purchased from google direct...

or purchase from Europe I suppose.
[Google Pixel 6a] ForForkSake:
Why 180 days? what does this achieve?
[Google Pixel 6a] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
Not true actually..

I bought my pixel 7pro from spectrum and once I paid it off way before 180 days and I'm rooted/bootloader unlocked on my pixel 7 pro.

Why 180 days? what does this achieve?

METROBYTMOBILE sim locks its devices for 180 days. Although the phone is sim locked, a Motorola phone can be bootloader unlocked before 180 days have passed. I believe the oem toggle became available after 3 days using the phone connected to data and wifi.

With that being said..pixels require carrier/sim unlock before the oem unlock toggle can be un-geyed out. So I'm asking a METROBYTMOBIlE customer who has this phone, is it similar to Motorola phones bought at metrobytmobile or waiting on the sim unlock which again will take 180 days to unlock.
[Google Pixel 6a] webhook:
Simple answer: yes.

Metro is T-Mobile and T-Mobile is not Verizon.

;)
[Google Pixel 6a] webhook:
However you got to have a Metro plan first.
[Google Pixel 6a] simplepinoi177:
I believe the 180 days is standard for most (if not all) US carrier variant devices because it's to discourage & mitigate resellers to purchase internationally-rare devices here and then sell it overseas; at least resell them right away. That's my understanding anyways....

Sorry I can't speak towards METROBYTMOBILE and what not -- it seems usually T-Mobile you either pay it off fully and/or if you are a long time customer and don't frequently ask for a SIM unlock and/or you claim you are an app developer and you're occupation relies on you testing with the device, you can request the SIM unlock which will then, in turn, in most cases allow for a bootloader unlock (supposedly).
[Google Pixel 6a] mike.s:
That's not true. I just bought an unlocked one "off the shelf" at Best Buy. Carrier unlocked, bootloader unlockable.
[Google Pixel 6a] simplepinoi177:
US Amazon was selling Pixel 7's release day/month that were global non-carrier variants....So yes, not necessarily "only way....is purchased from google direct", but mainly anything outside of the Big 3 carriers and probably the companies that are MVNOs (special consideration; one can still buy carrier variants from google store)
[Google Pixel 6a] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
You can close this thread as Metrobytmobile is using shady procedures to ensure customers can't purchase a phone on their website.

Short story ..

Went to metrobytmobile website, entered in all correct information, at the check out and conforming details, a message appeared right after my credit card payment that I had to verify my identity?? (On a prepaid carrier weird)

Anyways the website gave an option to Verify identity or cancel.

Oddly but could be intentional, the VERIFY ID button was greyed out...hmmm

So I called and the reps and a supervisor stated they can't answer why I'm unable to process my online order and I'll be refunded in 24 hours.. (lies) it takes up to 45 days but could be sooner..

So I won't be getting this 6a that I really wanted because I'm not going to a metro store to be charged and sold on products and services I don't want or need. Also the price in store totalled double of the price online.

Stay away from METROBYTMOBILE as they are downsizing and they want customers to pay the price.. Never Will it be Me .. Funny why they closed all there Metro owned corporate stores...;( Now operates on franchised individual owned store fronts...so sad...
[Google Pixel 6a] sidnynastay:
It's possible once the device is unlocked, but as someone else stated just avoid buying from metro if you don't want to just stay on stock unrooted. Lost my 6a from Google and accidentaly put in my Metro 6a's imei so they blacklisted it and refuse to remove it from the lost/stolen database. Only had the damn thing for 3 weeks and now it's forever stuck on 13 and only usable with Verizon carriers via a very inconvenient workaround -_-

Hello to you all, I got on the web a MXq Pro 5g the seller said it was android 10, amlogic modern chip, when I received the item I installed app to know everything, it turns out to be Amlogic S805 android 5, in the menu about it says Android 10, back to the app I installed it shows the quad core some are in "sleep" I wonder if there is a ROM designed for S805 Lollipop that can make it look and work as it should all 4 cores active and more.

[Google Pixel 7] Scholeggo:
Hello guys. I'm looking at the Pixel 7, but I do need to know a few things before I settle on it:

1: I hear that in the latest version of Android 13 and across Android 13 custom ROMs for the phone, VoNR is an actual toggle in the SIM card settings. Is that true, or is that applicable to just stock?

2: Also it's been said that since the December Feature Drop, Pixel 7 fully implemented LE Audio. Is this also true for its custom ROMs, and who has actually tried it with an LC3 earbuds (e.g: Earfun Air Pro 3) with success?

I would very much like to know, as it is essential to me before buying. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] nauricalx:
I have a weird issue. Was using my phone and suddenly the touchscreen stopped responding for no reason. Phone is not damaged and even with a full restore done, touchscreen doesnt work. However, s pen works perfectly fine to control the phone.

Did *#2663# and the tsp fw is blank. Tried the TSP FW update (general) and it fails every time. I feel like the touchscreen firmware has corrupted.

Does anyone have the oem tsp fw they can send me? there is an option to load the tsp firmware via sd card.

Alternatively, does anyone know if flashing the phone anew via ODIN with the OEM software would also re-install the TSP firmware onto the phone?

Thank you in advance to anyone who knows how to resolve this!!

[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] AC6172:
Hello,guys.

I'm looking for some OSes for my Huawei P20(EML-AL00).

It was downgraded to EMUI 9.1.0.340(C00E333R1P1) to unlock the bootloader, and I rooted it using Magisk(Installed to Recovery because this phone does not have a boot ramdisk).

After that, I used the system for some time, and I found that it was buggy-Sometimes, after opening an app and using it for a while, when I open another app, the screen suddenly goes blank, and the phone restarts.

I think the problem lies in the system I use. But when I search for OSes on the Internet, nothing were found useful-Even Lineage OS would only support P20 Lite or P20 Pro, but not P20, and the support has already ended, so I have to build a system myself. But my computer is unable to do that......

Can you provide something about Huawei P20-suitable OSes rather than EMUI? I will certainly appreciate that.

Thanks!

One more thing: TWRP version 3.2.2 or earlier would stuck at the loading screen. TWRP version 3.2.3 or later can work, but without touch. I want to use fastboot update rather than adb sideload because of that.(And Magisk is currently installed inside the recovery!)

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] maowjin:
The touchscreen on the main display was unresponsive while the front external screen was still working at the time. Tried restarting and powering off multiple times with no results and attempted to see if an update would fix the issue but now am stuck in a bootloop. The phone is unable to enter recovery mode, I've tried holding down the power button + volume up multiple times with and without a USB C connected and plugged into a PC. I am able to enter download mode so have installed Odin and tried flashing the latest update F9360ZSS3CWF2 which seems to have worked/passed but am still stuck in a bootloop with recovery mode still being inaccessible.

Any advice? Or if it's a lost cause, is there still any way I could possibly backup the data on the phone?

Edit: Unable to find a solution and throwing in the towel. Going to take it into the store tomorrow, but I think the hardware just failed as it can't even charge anymore. Phone started to wifi issues around mid June before the July update, started to have touchscreen issues yesterday, and now it won't and can't hold a charge (wired or wireless) without any previous battery life issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] blackhawk:
Welcome to XDA

You try a hard reset?

Try that a couple times. If it's not completely screwed up it may automatically boot into safe mode after repeated tries. If so grab the data...

Follow the protocols for that model; timing and sequence matters. Make sure the battery is charging and has a good charge.

What started the boot loop? New apps, 3rd party launcher? If under warranty, send it in otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] maowjin:
Unable to hard reset because I can't enter recovery mode. The boot loop started after trying to update the phone. Phone is not mine, but it's never been rooted. Unsure if they recently downloaded any apps, but they do have a lot of free junk apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] blackhawk:
Play with it. It should go into recovery mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] maowjin:
I'm holding the volume up and power button while it's plugged into a PC after shutting it down holding volume down and the power button. During this time, I can hear/feel the phone vibrate around every 15-20 seconds but the phone still remains on the Samsung logo. I've repeatedly done this at least 40 times, with and without breaks in-between, holding down the buttons for long periods of time (up to 2 minutes), changing cables, and having the phone plugged into different devices. Seriously just won't let me enter recovery mode, only thing I can enter is download mode. Do I just keep going until it hopefully does?

I'll probably just be taking it into the store later but was hoping I could at least boot it up to back up the data.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] iron@ss:
Just checking, the device is a Fold4 regional model for Taiwan or Hong Kong?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] maowjin:
Yes, Taiwan.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] iron@ss:
OK. Getting in to Recovery Mode is tricky at the best of times. Try, with the phone powered off, holding the Power + Volume Up buttons down and then plugging in the USB data, not charging only, lead that is connected to your PC.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] maowjin:
Thanks, I have tried plugging the USB midway from videos I've seen but still just stays on the Samsung logo while I can hear/feel the phone vibrate as if it were restarting. But I will try this method a few more times.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] maowjin:
Still unable to enter recovery mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] blackhawk:
Try another cable and PC port...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] maowjin:
Phone is now unable to charge despite no previous battery issues. Tried different cables, outlets, ports and wireless chargers. 🫠
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] blackhawk:
Use a known good Samsung brick and cable.

Possibly a loose connector or bad ribbon cable, failed battery, failed C port pcb or mobo.

The C port pcb is a prime suspect... check C port for damage or dust contamination or it may have failed electronically.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] iron@ss:
In that case it is time for a visit to your nearest Samsung Service Centre I am afraid.
