[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Questions & Answers] djraven21:
hello to all of you. Please help me if I can fix my black shark 2. The computer can't detect even edl anymore. I made a mistake when I flashed the custom rom. then my phone just turns on and off. Then I moved his slot and flashed boot boot.img. when I rebooted the phone there was no reaction at all. even the computer can no longer detect it.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Questions & Answers] mvikrant97:
Disassemble the phone and short the EDL points to get into edl mode.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Questions & Answers] djraven21:
how do i know the edl points sir? by the way thanks sir.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Questions & Answers] djraven21:
can you tell me sir where is the test point here?

I fix it without disassemble my phone . I try using DFC. (Deep Flash Cable) and it's work .
[General Topics] ThatN800Guy:
Sorry, not 100% sure how I should phrase this. But I have a Galaxy Fold 4 and I have about 5 different tones I'd like the phone to "choose from" when I receive an SMS. So one sms would be tone 2, another sms tone 5 etc., it'd just be a random tone choice from one of the five notification sounds I have.

I'm using the stock Samsung messenger. Thanks for stopping by!
[General Topics] ThatN800Guy:
I've been trying to figure this out on my own, but it's got me stumped so any thoughts would be appreciated.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cmarkortiz2:
Recently purchased a pixel 6 pro again and for the life of me can't find out what I'm doing wrong. My voicemail still transcribes as a text as well. I went to message settings and disabled this and it's still doing it. Am I missing another setting. Sorry if this has been asked already, new here thanks
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cmarkortiz2:
Anyone??
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] B from C:
This may be a service provided by your carrier instead of the phone itself. Try logging into the account at your provider's web portal and see if you have an option to disable it there.

If I buy a NEW phone on ebay (example HTC Touch Pro or Blackberry Storm), and it is defective, could I go to a Verizon store and return or exchange it without a receipt (assuming I still have the box).

Does anyone know if this is possible?
[General Questions and Answers] bill48105:
Hi. Keep in mind I'm sure they track serial #'s / ESN's & such so even if they are nice enough to exchange it (which I've never had the gonads to try) you run the risk that the phone was reported stolen, is under contact on someone else's account or who knows what, you're standing there with your pants down. Then again I suppose they wouldn't let you activate the phone on your account if those were true.. (Sorry I've been in the GSM world too long where you move your SIM as needed.) Anyway I'd say you're taking some big chances there since they surely link phones with accounts or service it was purchased with. I'd love to hear of anyone who has succeeded in this.. It's not like you're buying a toaster & returning it to Kmart for a merchandise credit or something. lol

Bill
[General Questions and Answers] unprocessed1:
by the phone being on someone else's account, does that mean for example they bought the phone at the 2yr contract price only to turn it around and sell it on ebay for profit?

The ebay buyer did nothing wrong in that case, the ESN was clean and ebay purchased cells are easily activated.

thanks for responding.
[General Questions and Answers] bill48105:
Yeah that's what I meant but you are assuming best case scenario.. As I said who knows, the phones could have been stolen from a reseller or dealer (I do computer support for a sprint/nextel dealer & they've had many stolen even by employees who turn around & sell them on ebay. The store definitely figures it out eventually & they get reported as stolen & flagged. Maybe within days or weeks or months.) or who knows. That is one of biggest risks of buying off ebay. You may not know the history. Not trying to scare you just saying remember you'll be the one in the store holding stolen merchandise. ;) Again, you risk the same trying to add the phone to your account so I guess they'll track you down either way. lol

As far as your original question, I wish I could say I knew but I don't. I assume there is virtually 0 chance of a return with refund and only a slight chance of an exchange assuming the phone is not flagged & you have a good story. Maybe someone else could chime in who has tried it. Again we are talking expensive phones normally bought with a contact linked to an account so easily traceable so don't be surprised if they scan it in & call you by the name of the guy who sold it to you. lol

Bill
[General Questions and Answers] unprocessed1:
It's just amazing that Verizon makes it so hard to upgrade your phone before your contract is up (even if you're willing to pay full price!!). The only way you can really do it is by buying a phone off of ebay and activating it yourself.
[General Questions and Answers] bill48105:
Yeah I'd imagine. That is one nice thing about GSM: Just move your SIM, assuming the phone isn't locked to another carrier which is usually pretty easy to get unlocked. I have bought about 50 phones off ebay (That would have been like 2 had I needed to call AT&T every time I wanted to switch! lol) & for the most part I've had pretty good luck with some duds. (Incompatible model missing 850 band, broken or more worn than expected) If you are in a pinch you might not have much choice but just make sure you buy from someone with high & good feedback & you should be OK. Better yet make sure they have a good return policy or even their own warranty. Not sure if the trick will work for you but I've bought 'Pay as you go' phones & put my SIM in when I needed a phone quickly. Maybe verizon has such a thing too but the prepaid phones are usually pretty awful. Of course there is a chance they'd refuse to add it to your account too. Buy yeah I wouldn't chance buying something on ebay hoping you can return to the local store if needed. I'd say buy new & hopefully sealed, not used (especially for expensive phones unless you want to risk it. Of course you can always try selling back on ebay if needed) from a good seller like I mentioned above & you should be fine. Btw the other thing to consider is go to an authorized Verizon dealer (vs a real Verizon store). You might find them much more likely to work with you on selling you a phone without a contact. I know they make big bucks signing up people but if you're willing to pay retail for a phone I'd imagine they won't turn you away especially if you suggest you'll be back when renewal time comes. ;)

Bill
[General Questions and Answers] unprocessed1:
Ok, so believe it or not, I called Verizon and the rep told me that even if you don't have the original receipt, the verizon store uses the proof of purchase barcode to tell when the item was purchased. If your item is defective you can exchange it, and she even said in some cases they'll even let you put the money towards a new phone, although they prefer to have a receipt.

I'm shocked as I thought they would have a very strict return policy.

Also, any cell purchased in the last month is returnable until Jan 15, which means blackberry storms and htc touch pros and omnias bought on ebay can simply be returned to a verizon store if they are defective!
[General Questions and Answers] bill48105:
Wow! :o Did you get that in writing? lol Guess they have a very lenient return policy. Sounds like they do track them big time but instead of holding it against you they actually HELP you with the info. Geesh, if that really works I'd say they have some killer customer support policies! Makes me want to break a phone to try it & see. :D Then again I'm on ATT & they'd prolly laugh as they escorted me out the store. :|

Good luck with that, I'd love to hear follow up if you end up needing to try it but then again I'm sure you'd rather NOT have to try. ;) Anyone else ever actually do this with any carrier?
[Android Head-Units] PuchoPuchex:
Hi everybody. Im still looking for a solution to unlock the head unit of Changan cs35 car.

Some pages over the web said that chinesse version of the car has another firmware, so you can use android auto or apple car without the ugly mirror app easy conection (Carbitlink).

I cant found any site to download the other region firmware. So i decided to folow the adb way to try to install apk to this head unit.

On the phone app press *#*#888 then press the call key. A password prompt would come up the password is : 369875.

Then you have serveral options to select. I press on USB, then select the button ADB.

When i ran ADB comands on mi computer the conections is up.

The problem is that none command of ADB is alowed to install other APK.

I know there is a lot information of other models of changan, but there isnt an threat for this headunit.

Does anybody have any idea how to install apks?

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks to XDA forum for the work done and i hope that the members will be able to help me.

I came to solve a problem on android car radio. i'm 42 years old and i'm not a professional of android hardware, so i will try to understand and solve this problem.
[Amazfit] aj_the_cat:
I have had my Amazfit Band 5 watch for almost a year and only on Monday has it started acting up.

The battery is draining faster than normal. I don't have any notifications or apps on it that would be draining it (maybe weather or sleep analysis? idk)

The scroll is acting weird as well. Sometimes it's hard to unlock it and when I am able to unlock it and scroll the menu, it's more touch sensitive than usual.

If I want to scroll down to one of the tools, it accidentally opens another one (like wanting to go into 'Workouts' but opening 'PAI' instead just by being lightly touched).

Amazfit Customer Support got back to me and sent me these suggestions:

I tried the first one and that did not work. I may or may not try the second or third option if all else fails. I know not that long ago, I was having issues pairing my watch to the Zepp app on my new phone (it is now connected). I wanted to get other opinions on here. Any other suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
[Amazfit] PierceB:
With Firmware do u use? My band does only run for 10 Days without pulse or any other special tracking. I'm using 1.0.1.70. The other Band in my family runs with 1.0.1.42 and the battery lasts for more than a month with nearly the same setting I'm not shure but I will try to downgrade to older firmware.
[General Topics] Shahmatt:
I am a long time user of MIUI. I currently have a Mi9T but my journey began with the Mi2A. Since my Mi9T is giving me some hardware trouble I want to buy a new phone.

The options available to me are the Samsung A54, Poco F5, Honor 90, Oneplus Nord 3 and Vivo V27 from least to most expensive. All are roughly within $200 of each other.

Having become accustomed to the conveniences of MIUI I wonder how other OSs compare. Currently in the running are the Poco F5 and the Honor 90. The Honor 90 has superior hardware, but I am wary of Magic OS as it is an unknown.

I would appreciate any feedback on using Magic OS, and general comparisons of MIUI with other OSs. I like MIUI's Video Toolbox and double-tap power button flashlight feature amongst others.

Particularly from a privacy POV MIUI presents T&C's for everything. It's a nuisance but I also think a good thing, since it doesn't automatically assume you want to opt in to whatever monitoring program they have in mind. I also like how you can specify app permissions for all hardware in the settings. How do other OSs compare in this regard?

I appreciate any comments.
[General Topics] ziaur786:
Using magic os of honor 90 from yesterday . I think you shouldn't buy honor in those circumstances. Found no great features to point it down. More over system ui tuner function doesn't take commands.

For feature & privacy I think one ui best.. Too much customization with good lock. Used galaxy Note 20 Ultra for 1.5 years. But had green line issue.

In future will buy only Samsung , as i don't like iOs.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] wpscully:
A thread for questions/answers about the larger cover-screen and its use.

The default cover-screen image is a white glowing orb with the clock in the center. At the lower right-hand corner is a camera icon. You'd think that if you tap the camera it would open the camera app, akin to tapping the power button twice. But tapping once doesn't do anything. Tap-and-hold let's you change the cover-screen setup and/or widgets. Double-tapping with the cover-screen locked turns the cover-screen off (to always-on display, if you use that.) What gives?

The secret is that you drag the camera icon towards the center of the cover-screen and that's what starts the camera app.

Maybe it's just me but it took me hours to figure this out. The only other time I can think you use a tap-and-drag gesture is to take multiple shots with the camera on the inside-screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] BWA80:
I wish they update the cover screen and AOD so can use a different clocks on both screens. As you have on the main screen.

I want informative clock on AOD and normal clock on the lock screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gregxdoom:
I'm not sure if this should be in the general section or in the software section because I'm not really sure what it is.

Anyway, my tethering speed has drastically slowed over the past few days.

I was getting about 28-30 kbs per second during downloads, and now, I'm at a forever slow 2-5 kbs per second.

I've tried resetting my phone and my computer hoping that would do something, but it's still just slowly chugging along.

I even installed a new radio hoping it would do something, but nothing happened.

Any ideas what could be causing this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pyraxiate:
Some info would help.......

Who is your provider?

What general area are you in?

Have you checked to see if they are having tower issues ( Other users in your general area having issues too) ?

What kind of signal strength do you have?

What rom/radio are you using?

What spl are you using?

Are you connected via Edge, GRPS, 3G , or HSDPA?

Have you installed any software at all before this all started happening?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gregxdoom:
My provider is at&t.

I'm in the Metro-St. Louis area.

I haven't checked if they're having tower issues. I guess I should have done that...

I've got all of my bars, like usual.

My rom is one of the NATF final roms with the hermes 6.1 radio, and before that, I had a niki radio. I updated to the hermes to see if it helped anything.

and in my area, I usually have edge connection.

and no, I havent installed any software.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RizwanKhan:
do u have tethering plan?

if so callup att and tell them. i know they are messing around w/broadband speeds and this might have spilled over to wireless as well.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gregxdoom:
I called at&t and there isn't anything wrong with the towers around me or anything.

Now I'm really confused.

I put on a new rom yesterday, and it's still going super super slow.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kidlockatong:
Have you tested for the problem in another location? I had a similar problem in the area where I worked on a project recently (about 15 miles from home). At first, everything was fine there. Then for about a week, the data service got so bad I could hardly connect at times. Called AT&T to complain, gave them the location and they told me they had no reports of anything wrong with the towers there, even though everything worked fine for me elsewhere.

Did a hard-reset, cleaned off the phone and didn't re-install anything, and tested it again. Same problem.

After about two weeks, the problem suddenly disappeared. Apparently I wasn't the only one calling in to complain every day.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gregxdoom:
It's still going mad slow.

I think I just might have to bite the bullet and get a new phone if noone else has any other suggestions.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pyraxiate:
What are your connection settings ?

Are you connecting to isp.cingular or wap.cingular ?

Do you have a Pda Plan?

Try deleting all of your settings and putting in this configuration

For both of these make sure the modem is " Cellular Line ( GPRS, 3G ) "

Call this config My ISP

Apn= isp.cingular

User Name = ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password = CINGULAR1

Disable the proxy

If that still wont connect

Apn = wap.cingular

User Name = WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password = CINGULAR1

Again, make sure the proxy is disabled

Dont select any of the compression settings / ect. Let it stay as default.

Test again and give us your results.

P.S.

The name/password is CASE SENSITIVE so make sure you are using caps exactly as I have for both. ONLY the APN is lower case!

Goodluck and we hope to hear from you soon!

PPS.

Proxy settings are under the tab that says "Proxy Settings"

Make sure you have "This network connectes to the internet" checked and "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" UNCHECKED.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sirefly:
I had problems similar to to this. I would connect and everything seem fine until I tried to download a large file or large amount of data (like a heavy, app-filled website) then my connection speed would drop to near nothing or even completely stall, forcing me to disconnect/reconnect to fix the problem.

In my case it turned out to have something to do with my TCP window size.

I got a copy of TCPoptimizer and started playing with the settings of my laptop, the default setting was about 126000, but I found that I would get the slowdown or stalling with any setting above 40000!

I now have it set to about 26000 and it works great! 1.8 mbs!

I'm not a network guy, but i think that the long latency, fading, shadowing, etc. of the 3G connection was causing the large packet size not to download completely, necessitating duplicate attempts to get the packet.

It would make sense to me that a larger TCP window would mean a faster connection, but in my case this turned out not to be true.

Maybe one of the NT Gurus on here could explain it :confused:

So, I would suggest you get TCPoptimizer, or DRTCP and try changing the network settings of your laptop, and then use a registry editor for your Tilt to change the settings there too.

Hope this helps,

SF
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gregxdoom:
I guess it was just the network, because a few days ago, it just started working normally. Thanks to everyone that helped though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CokaChoka:
Fortunately the issue has been resolved but you never did report back regarding WAP vs ISP. Earlier this month I had a long layover at O'Hare and ran into the same issue - slow, slow, and slow (26 down, up was norm), but that was on 3G, switched to EDGE and it was good to go. Not only was this on my Tilt, but aircard as well. Network issue, not Tilt. Hence why a quick speed test between 3G/EDGE helps answer the question...

I have a Watch5 Pro and I'm going through the usual connect-to-new-device dance. But on my Fold5 I can't get anything to connect. I also tried 4 different wireless earbuds; nothing. The Wearables app just crashed during the initial connect process. I get passed the passcode, allowing things, blah blah. It gets to the progress ring, hits 4% and crashes.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] pirish1:
Had the same problem. Uninstall wear app and watch manager. Reinstall. Reset your watch and when you pair your watch DO NOT restore data. Set up as new watch. Once I did that I was able to pair my watch 5 pro. If that method doesn't work install an earlier version of Wearable, connect your watch (or headphones) then update the wearable app once everything is paired.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] ebmorgan:
Yup...tried that. It's the watch. It does the same thing on other phones and even my Tab S7+. Oh well. No biggie. The new one shows up on Sunday. 😁
