[Nothing Phone 1] LowaEastSide:
If i found myself in this situation, I would do a complete factory reset and start from scratch. This will rule out any Bugs + Malware you could have contracted, and also will fix any system issues if any. Or you can reflash the system all over again, this will give you a clean fresh start, just giving you some ideas of what i would do personally. Best of Luck...
[Nothing Phone 1] rogerrulez:
That's what I'm thinking of doing.
[Nothing Phone 1] TechX1991:
anyone thinking "malware" on android phones... you have to TRY to get malware, and even then, its not like a windows computer. Its just ads in your notifications or sideloading other apps. Its not exploiting your system and stealing your info

As far as the issue here, I'd bet money its just the battery. I had this happen with a Razer Phone 2, and I see it all the time with phones at work. I work in data recovery, a good majority of old no power phones and tablets are just a battery. The altitude sometimes (rarely) can destroy your battery. That's what happened with my RP2, and I've seen it happen with phones I've sold via ebay.
[Nothing Phone 1] rogerrulez:
Agreed. It's definitely not malware that won't allow a phone to turn on. You may be right in thinking it's the battery. That has crossed my mind. That or the main board.
[Nothing Phone 1] TechX1991:
Now that I think about it, 6 months ago I replaced a battery for a friend in an iPhone 13 pro max. She went on a 6 hour flight, noticed battery life on the flight was HOT GARBAGE, and after landing it wouldn't charge. I replaced the battery, it charged, and is fine to this day.

although, big issue, appparently can't buy repair parts from ANYONE yet. Would have to buy a broken screen variant from like ebay to get a battery
[Nothing Phone 1] LowaEastSide:
I highly recommend before jumping into any other conclusions. Who Knows, It can be something as simple as a reflashing of the Operating System. I ran into a EDL Unbrick tool that Senior Member @mark332 made and i decided it test it just in case i ever needed it. so I downloaded it and gave it a go. Sure enough it ran like a charm. Once it Finished flashing the OS i rebooted my device and i was back to stock. So it a great tool to restock your device. Worked like a Charm for Me. Worth a try, you can find it on the Nothing Phone 1 Page. Just Power off your device, give it a few seconds, then press and Hold Power+ and Power - at the same time, count 15 seconds the plug in the USB. Just follow his instructions and you'll be fine, Again, that's Only if you want to go that rout. Its what i would try before going out my mind thinking the worst case Senero.
[Nothing Phone 1] rogerrulez:
The phone port is not broken because the phone is charging and working fine now.
[Nothing Phone 1] rogerrulez:
Makes sense. And I don't think that by reflashing the phone will make any difference. It's a hardware issue and Nothing is giving me the runaround.
[Nothing Phone 1] rogerrulez:
I don't think reflashing the phone will make any difference. It is charging and working fine now.
[Nothing Phone 1] TechX1991:
it 100% won't. Its hardware
[Nothing Phone 1] rogerrulez:
I was thinking. Wondering if the high altitude killed the Nothing phone ? It was fully charged before the flight. When I landed it wasn't working.

Thoughts ?
[Nothing Phone 1] dlads:
Have you actually cleaned the port with a tough brush? Borderline but not quite scraping.

Hook anything out of the hole you can, check multiple chargers.

Turn off charge slowly overnight.

May be something to do with air pressure but I've personally not heard of that myself.

Weird.
[Nothing Phone 1] rogerrulez:
The phone is totally clean and is working perfectly fine now.
[Nothing Phone 1] dlads:
Ah ok, soz thought I'd throw my two cents In, should have read the whole thread.

Just I'd had something similar.
[Nothing Phone 1] rogerrulez:
No worries. Any feedback is good feedback !
[Nothing Phone 1] rogerrulez:
It's been almost 3 weeks now and Nothing Company still has done nothing about this faulty phone. They are waiting to hear from their "Tech Team". This is a very sad and pathetic company for them not to back their product !
[Nothing Phone 1] kriistofor:
That phone is not faulty in any sense as far is I can see from the 2 pages of this thread nor should they do anything especially if your phone is working properly now.

99% the cause is wet charging port. humidity. that's it. happened on so many phones that came for repair. phone is making multiple chimes or visual glitches or notifications on screen (newer samsungs) that are hinting that something is wrong. The phone is not very well protected from water and dust ingress so I don't understand how you can claim that the company is sad or pathetic and throw some wild claims about "high altitude killing the phone" i mean... i laughed, hard.

I repair devices and as any other person that does the same I can vouch to you that: mbo, software, charging port - are the only possible causes based on the explanation.

Soft - hardly since nobody else reported it, and it didn't happen again.

MBO - hardly since it didn't happen again.

Charging port - u claim is not damaged? - then it was wet.

Problem does not repeat anymore? Yeah, because it is dry and/or clean from debris.

EDIT: of course, if you are not using 5$ chinese charging cable from from wish in which case - the problem is you, not the phone.
[Nothing Phone 1] rogerrulez:
Dude. you are out to lunch. So you are telling me that a wet charging port would make the phone not turn on ? Even though it was in a pouch strapped across my chest, And was in a dry hotel room ?

I actually laughed at your thoughts about the issue. Like seriously ....
[Nothing Phone 1] kriistofor:
You left. On a ****ing trip. You flew. Does your dry hotel room fly?

Phone strapped across your chest for the whole trip?

No way, AT ALL that there was a moment/situation/high humidity area where something could happen? Right

Ok let's summarize: the phone works now? company did nothing?

BAD COMPANY. Good phone. thread closed.

Claim around that you have a bad MBO/battery since your phone did that thing once while you were on a trip and did not repeat it, or that a company should react to this with "omgz boi give it here, we send another so sorry" and see if you will make any progress in regards to community OR company support.
[Nothing Phone 1] rogerrulez:
High humidity would make more sense since where I went to was a high humid area. But I'm sure many people who live in high humid areas don't have a problem with their phones right ?

I don't buy from wish, nor do I buy my accessories from a dollar store. I tested the charger and cable, both are Baseus brands, and it worked fine before I left. Humidity shut down the phone ? Seriously ? Wet charging port making the phone not turn on ? Seriously ?

You really have no idea what you are talking about. None !
[Nothing Phone 1] rogerrulez:
UPDATE: Nothing finally got back to me and wants a copy of the invoice for when I bought the phone and also pictures of the phone.

ALSO !! I just turned off the phone for the very first time since coming back from my trip. Now it won't turn back on ! So definitely a hardware issue.
[Nothing Phone 1] rogerrulez:
UPDATE 2: I managed to get the phone powered on and it booted up in safe mode after holding down the power button for at least 20 seconds. Rebooted and back to normal mode.
[Nothing Phone 1] muppetz:
Same thing here , same error , phone didn't boot or charge anymore , charging it takes 120 mA but it's still dead so reading this thread I suddenly remember I cleaned my phone with some wet tissues yesterday so I used a hair dryer , hot air about 1 min , cold air also about 1 min . Phone boot normally pressing 20 s power button after that and everything is OK . I guess the charging port got wet and the phone has entered in some kind of protection

This fault scares me a lot because I have a genuine phone , not rooted , no TWRP , phone is in original state and it seems impossible to die no motives
[Nothing Phone 1] N3kowarrior:
I had same issue use slow usbx charger to "kick start the device to 2% battery" turn on and change charger for your normal one.
[Nothing Phone 1] rogerrulez:
Yeah. This is my first and last Nothing Phone.. Too many issues, including trying to obtain warranty.
[Nothing Phone 1] N3kowarrior:
Yes phone will disable the usbc port if its wet or theres dust in it. Try wireless charging?
[Nothing Phone 1] muppetz:
yeap , I sold it few days ago
[Nothing Phone 1] rogerrulez:
I'm holding onto mine for a little while longer as to not lose too much money.
[Nothing Phone 1] rogerrulez:
Never had one to try. I was on a trip. The phone was not exposed to any moisture whatsoever unless you consider humidity moisture. I'm still baffled by it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
When I first got my cellphone in late April 2023, I was able to reduce the number of ads that appeared by enabling Developer Options and then enabling (or disabling??) something. I can't recall what that something was. I wrote down the procedure I used for future reference. (I can post it here if necessary.)

After the recent July update the procedure I wrote does not appear to work anymore. In my Phone Settings I see Caller ID & spam and Call Screen. In the Caller ID & spam screen, "See caller and spam ID" is enabled. In the Call Screen, all three options are enabled.

I did not see anything regarding Robocalls on my phone, although the procedure I wrote mentions them and how to reduce or get rid of them.

Does the July update eliminate the need to enable Developer Options to get rid of spam and robocalls, and is there anything more I can do to reduce ads, pop-ups, and robocalls?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] hungragezone:
I believe nothing to do with developer options

Just turn on caller ID & spam

Almost all the suspect call will have an warning when they call/message you. You can change the behavior to auto decline suspect call if u dont want to see it anymore
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
Open the phone app>settings>Caller ID & Spam (turn it on)>back out once> select "call screen" and turn on top one "automatically screen calls">TAP on "Protection Level" just beneath previous setting and make sure "Maximum" is selected. That's what I use and it works great for me! YMMV
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
Thank you for your replies.

I checked my phone and did everything jaseman suggested.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
Unfortunately there's no way to get rid of the ads that occasionally appear...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] NippleSauce:
If you're referring to ads that show up during web browsing via Chrome, you could always try using the AdGuard app (which doesn't require root). It isn't available from within the Play Store but can be downloaded directly from the AdGuard website.

Alternatively, you can just download the FireFox browser off of the Play Store and can then add an ad-blocking extension such as "uBlock Origin".

For robo-calls/ad phone calls, I never seem to get any of those anymore. Call Screening and Caller ID & Spam have come in handy for me. BUT, if you ever get calls from one number repeatedly, then just long-press that call in your Phone app's "Recents" menu and select the "block/report as spam" option. Then, you won't get any calls from that number again.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] p51d007:
Big +1 on Adguard. Been using it for YEARS.

I got my P7P in December 2022. It's blocked over 2.9 million ads from the browser & apps, along with saving 200 gig of data by not having to download all of those ads and other garbage.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] miralusion:
I've got an ancient Galaxy Tab S3 I'm trying to breathe new life into, was using it one day when it suddenly crashed and started boot looping. Going into recovery mode gives me the following error:

I have flashed several firmware but keep getting the same problem: bootloop.

Don't know what to do.

Please help me !
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Umpal:
It happened the same to my Tab S3 about a year ago. There are numerous cases with a similar behaviour and from what I learned there is no solution for it - the internal flash memory is broken. It is possible to make it work again but someone would have to modify the bootloader to redirect the system to the SD card. Someone supposedly did that to his phone and it worked.

[Android Auto General] tylera704:
Hi guys, first post here and I'm very sorry if this has already been answered.

I recently discovered digital minimalism and decided to uninstall the majority of my Google System Apps from my Galaxy S22 through Unix using the "user 0" method.

No Chrome, no Play Store, no Google App, etc. I did keep Google Maps though. My problem however is that I can no longer use Android Auto without the Google App (and probably without the Play Store). Are there any work arounds or alternatives so that I can still connect my phone to my head unit without having to reinstall those Google System Apps?
[Android Auto General] moralesnery:
There's no FOSS alternative at the moment.

Your only alternative is mirrorlink (if supported by the headunit and your phone)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] azgoodaz:
So after a few people also mentioned that update R800XXU1GWE2 is causing a battery drain issue and killing the battery faster than necessary (probably on purpose to get rid of older Watches). I was looking around I followed this guide up until "3- REBOOT WATCH or SDB will not connect" and the application doesn't connect to the "ansicon.exe" file.

It worked flawlessly although I'm now at a factory reset Watch (more or less, the version it was first released) so my old backup file restore isn't working properly on this early version of the watch. The last update prior to R800XXU1GWE2 that didn't mess anything up was "R800XXU1GVG1" ( https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-R800/001397180827/roh.html ) and I was wondering if someone can post an updated tutorial on how to flash it to this current firmware.

Other than that, Watch is now back to normal battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] ze7zez:
There is no need for a tutorial. Updating is done sequentially. On Samsung Wear, turn on automatic update via Wi-Fi on your watch. After each update, check what firmware version you have on the watch. If you reach version R800XXU1GVG1, then turn off automatic update via Wi-Fi on the watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Noki:
Can confirm this will work. But could only reach till R800XXU1GUJ3. After that GWE2 is presented. GVG1 looks like a minor update, so GUJ3 should be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] luigi_sa:
I had the same issue, and after trying a factory reset with restore, I then redid the factory reset with no restore, issue resolved. It seems that some of the settings from the backup were causing the drain.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] Jiiiiimm11:
I hate this sht android 13 desgin completely. It ruins my experience with my new phone and Im kinda still thinking of returning my OnePlus 9 Pro again, it has far too many aspects that fk me off, no real customization and downloadable new customization options + bloat & spyware. I like the old android design even the MIUI. But I could live with that, IF the fkin music player is like in the second picture in the notification area as a bar... WHY IS THIS SHT NOT SIMPLY CUSTOMIZEABLE ?! Also if I kill the app IT DOESNT GET KILLED AND JUST STAYS IN THE QUICK SETTINGS MENU ._.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] cowsquad:
You have to open the music player and hit an X on right lower corner. Wait until you get 13.1. They added these stupid animations to the lock screen, opening app icon animation, and notification pull down. You turn them off, and they keep coming back. To turn them off you have to go into accessibility and the vision tab.

I dislike animations overall.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Jiiiiimm11:
It is 13.1 ; Yes I know that I have to do this extra step, and this is absolutely retarded. I think I rather downgrade to OOS 12 / 11 or I'll request a refund for this device. My first OnePlus and I hate it so hard. All good praise are lies.

Can I ask if eSIM support is enabled as well?

I have a Dish/Boost (ro.carrier = boost) variant and eSIM support is disabled in RETUS and BOOST ROM but not in RETEU or RETAIL. So it looks like the block may be in the US ROMs if RETUS does include eSIM support.

[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] jimmie32:

[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] jimmie32:
Interesting. My mistake. I remember it was on L3 earlier but I checked with RETEU again (bootloader unlocked) and it says L1 again. So maybe it's not as bad as I thought.

I've ran reteu, retcn and retus. They are all running L1 after bootloader unlocked / locking. I've had zero issues with L1. The phone rans fantastic on Verizon in the USA. 5G even works! 5G was not working on Verizon with reteu & retcn.
