[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] lamensterms:
thanks teej, i did manage to backup and restore my HD2 to and from the PC. had to tweak a couple of things though.

i did a full backup to PC (everything except storage card - contacts, emails, messages, all calendar data, system data and my documents).

i also did a PIM data backup (contacts, emails, messgages and all calendar data) to my devices storage card (luckily).

so i flashed to new ROM, hard reset a couple more times, then attempted a full restore from my PC. used sprites same device/new ROM restore setting (called 'merge mode 2' i think), and it restored everything except my personal data (so the full PC restore didnt restore contacts, emails, messgages and all calendar data). luckily i had the PIM data backup and was able to restore all PIM data from that.

so with the two backups combined... i had success.

although this wasnt as straight-forward as i feel backups and restores should be... it was MUCH better than the backups i had done with SPB (using SPB i have had corrupted backup files on multiple occasions - i definately recommend using Sprite Backup over SPB, and i havent tried Resco or Microsoft My Phone).

advice to anyone backing up.... create multiple backup files, so if one fails or is corrupted... there is a safety net.

cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] rogerperk:
So my stock screen protector is separating on the hinge crease on my Zflip 4 leaving a big 'bubble' across the center of the screen. TMob, bless their hearts, is replacing the phone because it's only 7 months old and this is a workmanship issue, but I'm sure I'll face the same problem in another 7 months or so. Anyone got any recommendation on how to fixt this?? Permanently would be nice but I'd settle for something that would work for a year. The phone ergonomics are outstanding! I don't want another phone! I want this one to do it's job!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] Matterhorn:
I also had my Flip 4 for about 7 months when the screen protector bubbled on the crease. I had a new protector installed by a Samsung authorized repair center under warranty. Unfortunately it is a one shot deal so next time I'll have to pay myself.

I doubt that the problem is permanently fixable. It is a weak spot in the hinge design. Hopefully the Flip 5 hinge will be better. If not I may have to go back to Pixel.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] mt2020:
Mine went out this week. 11 months. Nobody has any protectors in stock not Samsung not iFixit and Best buy says they won't touch it. They want me to ship it in for a minimum of 10 days or possibly longer since they also may not have stock. Just ordered some on Amazon to repair myself after finding out it does not void warranty which is what they told me. Crazy that the company would want to spend all that money to ship phones in for a $5 part that retails for 19.95
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] Matterhorn:
I called several repair centers to finally find one that had the proper equipment and technician to apply the protector. He had to check the stock as if they are often out of stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] wpscully:
I think the plastic protector shrinks, over time, and the glue isn't strong enough to adhere to the glass after nine months or so. I say this because my Flip 3 delaminated around nine months, and now my Flip 4 has done the same. In both cases Samsung replaced the protector for free, as I sent the phone to them (in the USA) for repair. Of course, they reset the phone, which is a bother. But they fixed it perfectly, with no spots or bubbles or the like.

Because I'd seen this before with my Flip3, I took pictures of the impending failure on the Flip4. I noticed the slightest problem mid-March. Slowly but surely you can see the progressive failure, day by day, until early April, when morning, noon and night you'd see the heartbreaking progress in real-time.

I'll post a few pictures for those of you who haven't seen what this looks like yet.

One the delamination starts it won't stop until the plastic frees itself from the valley (crease), below.

Amazon has (had?) for sale a product from company White Stone, named "Done Premium Gen Film" for Galaxy Z Flip3 5G. The product contains one replacement plastic protector and a jig to use to hold the phone as you position and stretch the new film onto your carefully cleaned phone. (You must peel the old plastic off and clean the glass with an alcohol wipe.) I never used this product because I sent my Flip3 in exchange for the Flip4, last summer. If my Flip4 protector fails again I may try to use this to fix it myself. I think (hope?) the screen size is the same.

I really love the ergonomics of the Flip series of phones. It's a great product. Samsung just has to find a stronger adhesive so that their factory-installed, mandatory, "don't you dare uninstall this" screen saver actually lasts as long as, say, the hinge. You'd think they'd learn a lesson by now.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] mt2020:
Gave up on waiting for Samsung to get stock. Was starting to get dirt under protector. Bought https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7X5VCKL?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

Couldn't be happier. Old one came off easy, new one was a breeze, and after 1-2 days all bubbles disappeared. Seems to be more rubbery so maybe it will hold up better. 3 in the pack, so I've got more than enough if doesn't last past factory cover.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] brd912:
you guys knows what that means. I can't get it to do anything. Can't use any of the tools. Flash permission denied on everything. Even the Motorola rescue assistant tool doesn't support the device. Does anyone have any recommendations? All I can boot to is a locked Bootloader mode
[Moto G Stylus 5G] V0latyle:
Can you unlock the bootloader again?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] brd912:
Nope. OEM unlock is not turned on in settings. neither is USB debugging.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] V0latyle:
So you're saying you locked the bootloader on custom firmware, and while Android still runs, you can't unlock it again?

This is why you should NEVER lock the bootloader on custom firmware.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] htc-8925:
What possessed your faculties to make you lock your bootloader after the hassle it can be to get them to let you unlock in the first place?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] brd912:
Exactly what I'm saying. I was drinking. got angry at certain bugs it had after rooting and well here we are. I can't even find any info on test points for edl on this model. It's just a $40 phone but it's the ONLY phone I have.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] htc-8925:
'nuff said... i feel that pain
[Moto G Stylus 5G] V0latyle:
Sorry to hear that. If you're unable to unlock the bootloader with fastboot commands, I don't think there's anything you can do. I assume you don't have root?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] htc-8925:
you try and EDL cable yet? if you don't have one you can make one by stripping back a bit of insulation and shorting the black and green together with the device off, then at the same time click all three buttons 3-4 times until you see the 9008 port show up in device monitor (WINDOWS)
[Moto G Stylus 5G] htc-8925:
if that fails and you're feeling brave (or you have really good anti-virus software) you could always give something like this a shot

This is my first time trying to custom room my devices (Redmi Note 10 Sunny). I tried to gather the information here.

I tried to find the latest pixel room under below link https://get.pixelexperience.org/mojito and realize that the custom room and recovery is for Redmi Note 10 Mojito version not the Sunny. The question is it any different between the Sunny and Mojito from the pixel experience custom room perspective ? If there is a different where I could find the pixel custom room for my Sunny devices ?

Hello.

I have questions about s23 in Canada.

1. Virgin Mobile claims their phones are unlocked. Does this mean that their phones have a CSC code XAC (unbranded)?

2. If their phones have XAC, is it possible to change it to another country (INS, SEK, and so on to get a call recording)?

3. If the options above are not possible, are there other ways to get the call recording? I'm interested in the phone that Virgin sells.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Nico3d3:
As far as I know, the easiest way to get call recording is with this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorder&hl=en_US .
[Samsung Galaxy S23] 1mstime:
If I'm not mistaken, this application does not allow you to record the interlocutor's voice directly from the line, it uses the microphone of your device. Therefore, the recording quality is not good, especially if you are in a noisy environment.

I would be grateful if you can check this application on your S23 and debunk or confirm what I said. Tomorrow is the last day of promo on S23, so I still have a chance to get it on attractive terms.

I was actually referring to firefox's builtin download manager, but before I replied I tried disabling the external download manager and let the browser handle it alone. Before this I would just hit cancel when the external manager kicked in and thought the I would get the same reaction from the browser. Something got lost in passing the argument to the browser. After disabling the manager, firefox downloaded just fine.

Well, everything is fine with the world now. Something so simple ... geeez, and I call my self a computer geek?

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] анонимное-f22fcdce:
Hello all,

I know unlocking the bootloader will lost some functionalities but what are losted is a bit vague. Some say the camera will green screen and some say it won't. I'm very confused.

I specifically want to know if unlocking the bootloader will affect screen quality, e.g. color accuracy, white balance, HDR.

I also found out the TA partion can be backed up but had anyone able to restore it after?

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Mopeso:
My experience after unlocking the bootloader is not a lot really camera works fine and screen also SD card etc. Its only after you flash a custom ROM that you loses Sony features thats exclusive to Sony devices. Such as Sony camera app, HDR (?) . Other than camera, I can't really think of anything.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] анонимное-f22fcdce:

Hey there all.. newbie here . I got an android headunit for my car and this thing works but I want to know if I can change it up. If there's any way to change the themes, or the look of it. I watched a video on this site and thought this would be a good place to start. The unit is one of these in the attached picture. In the video I watched the requirements seemed to be identical to the one I have but looks way cooler than the one I have. I saw something about no buttons, and I don't believe these are buttons on mine.. I also have a USB port up front and the one in the video didn't. I am completely new to this idea so I'm probably going to ask questions that may seem like common knowledge but I gotta ask so I can learn. Also I'm wondering if the downloads that were advertised in the video will work on this unit or if it has to be modded. There were some units with additional fans on it, people had the motherboard out and ****.. idk. The way it looked to me was download, backup, and install. And follow the directions to the T...

[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Ryuzak:
After using a custom ROM for several months, my DerpFest OS started experiencing frequent auto restarts. It's normal for custom ROMs to have occasional auto restarts due to their experimental nature. Despite switching to different custom ROMs and kernels, the issue persisted, and my device would still auto restart.

To address this, I decided to flash the stock ROM using MiFlash Tools, the official flashing tool. However, during the flashing process, an error occurred, specifically "error: Writing 'modem'." I checked the MiFlash Logs, and this error message was displayed.

I also attempted to flash the stock ROM through Platforms Tools bootloop, but encountered difficulties in the process.

In my attempts to resolve the issue, I installed different versions of the custom recovery OrangeFox (1.3 and 1.4), but I couldn't successfully boot into recovery mode.

Finally, I tried flashing a custom recovery called SHARP Recovery, and the flashing process was successful. However, when I tried to boot into recovery mode, I encountered a battery error.

Currently, I can only boot into fastboot mode when the device is connected to a charger. When I connect it to a PC, I receive a battery error message.

Hey bro, I'd suggest that you try flashing paranoidandroid with the fastboot option(use the --force flag when flashing with fastboot due to the unified codename).

Were you able to recover your phone?
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] ss8210955:
It's the battery, although in some cases the ribbon cable connector is the main culprit as in my case it was loose.

The worst thing to imagine is memory corruption, it is obvious that those custom ROM's might have an error in their memory registers which wrote bits on the bank but now they are unbuffered that even reboot do not erase them while the cpu still reading / writing on/ from the same register that is corrupted.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] easyrider77:
So as the title says, I have both the 23 plus and the 23 ultra. I also had a s21 ultra.

So that given, I have days that I play very long hours of Diablo Immortal on my phone, holding it in my hands. We're taking 8-10 hours at times

With the 21 ultra and the s23 plus it isn't so bad, as it had rounded corners. With the s23 ultra it's a bit more uncomfortable because the corners are squared off, so it ends up digging into my palm after awhile making it uncomfortable.

So I'm curious if anyone else with an s23 ultra plays long hours of gaming. If so what do you do about when it becomes uncomfortable in your hands? Other than the obvious which is at that point take a break, or use a control of some sort.

Ideas are welcome, and thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Monipeev:
I don't play, but it comes to my mind as a suggestion to put a massive case with similar angles.

Hi, i play genshin long hours using s23 ultra and lots of PS2 emulator games.

I use Gamesir X3 Pro gamepad. Its really good and comfortable for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] easyrider77:
This is EXACTLY why I post here. I never even thought they had a case with round corners, let alone even thinking of it.

Did a quick search on amazing and they do indeed have them.

They even have slim ones that curve ever so slightly. I think that will be enough of a round edge to cut the sharpness of the corner.

For the life of me I don't know why they made it so square, because the 21 ultra isn't that way. I get the square design from back in the s10 ultra days, but come on. It's like the curved edges, people are so n over the curves, they would rather have flat, at least the majority of people would.

I think in my looking around, the sharpness of the corners was one of the complaints about the 23 ultra.

Thanks for the advice/input/idea, I appreciate it greatly.
