Oh, I was confused because I thought it was a blowup of the affected area.

If it were only the rear camera, I might investigate the geometry of the lens cluster.

Dependent on how serious you are you can take the back off and see if that affects anything.

You can take off the camera retainer cover and have the little cameras have a bit of freedom on their flex PCB/mezzanine connectors.

The reason that I asked about RAW is that these anomalies are mostly white.

I believe if you had bad pixels, like a single red the JPEG processing would say, "no way do we have chroma resolution for a single red pixel so we'll just make it as a slightly brighter luminance in that area."

You know, I think that they are JPEG artifacts of blue pixels on.

The circular waves are yellow-ish.

Can you take a photo capped and possibly crank up the contrast in Gimp or something and crop it and save it as PNG?

Can you take a photo of a blue flat field and see if the ringing is less/gone?

Very interesting. Some Androids (which ones?) can do "hot pixel compensation" via a "hot pixel map".

Of course, if you have the raw images you can cleanly do the compensation in post production.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] FrenchFried:
Thanks for taking the time to investigate this issue with me :) Here is the pics you asked for
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] FrenchFried:

Is Blue background. Shotted in RAW, converted to png

Background is white. Shotted in RAW, converted to PNG

Lens is capped. Shotted in JPG (couldnt shot it in RAW for the life of me). Exposition is then boosted to +2.0 and contrast is maxed out. I don't see any artefact.

Thanks for taking on your time to figure this out. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] Renate:
Well, I'm shooting from the hip here, I have no idea.

You said that you could see the thingies with the lens capped, but now you can't?

I'm beginning to think it's some internal reflection in the lens now.

And you figured out RAW?

I tried an experiment with a 1024 x 1024 gray field with one blue pixel in MS Paint saving it as JPEG.

I then reopened it, zoomed it, screen captured it and saved that as PNG.

Try taking a photo of a white corner on a black background to see if you can affect the circles to have less contrast in places.

Keep the amount of white smallish.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] FrenchFried:
All right. Well this is the end of the investigation. We think the camera sensors are damaged. We don't know how. Might be "burnt" or something leaving a ghost image. Thanks for your help anyway. Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] Renate:
Well, it's just that these things are a very strange shape.

And on two unrelated cameras?

Maybe others have this but have not noticed it.

I thought that maybe that they are a "watermark".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayus2003:
Hi everyone I have a Lava Blaze 5G and recently by mistake I used formatall option in Sp Flash Tool for which I lost my imei but however I brought back my original imei's with Maui meta tool (as I have my phone box) but since then I was having some connectivity issues so I decided to flash stock rom again (if that would fix it) however this time I used download only option but after the flash is completed (I see a green tick on screen) my phone is just dead. It won't turn on no matter how long I press the power button not even charge.

Note that: in between I did a ota update, so basically I flashed the old firmware over the new one.

Please help me guys as this is a new phone and I was so stupid to root it (cuz I wanted to use some tweaks like viper4android etc.. and I just end up making my phone completely dead).

If I try to flash the stock rom again I am getting the following error (see the image) and sp flash tool is stuck at 100% and my laptops says "USB device not recognized"

Help me please this is my primary phone and being a student I don't have enough money to buy another phone.

TL;DR: So I finally gave up and decided to service my phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayus2003:
Can't I myself fix it, because i want to give some last tries before taking it to service center.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayus2003:
Tried that I am getting the same result stuck at download DA 100% and the same exception. I read somewhere that I need to bypass something I dunno what.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayus2003:
So after some research I finally get to know that I need to bypass the Serial Link Authentication and Download Agent Authentication (SLA and DLA) from this post.

I did all the steps correctly even used force option with python main.py but I am getting this (see the images) it gives be a bootrom dump file which I don't know what to do with.

So probably the emmc is dead/corrupted, is there anyway to format & rewrite a corrupted emmc without box i.e Jtag service ?

Now I think it's time to send this phone to the service center. But my question if they repair the emmc will they be able to know that I did modifications to the phone because after the previous incident as stated in the post the phone's serial no, wifi, bluetooth mac addresses have been changed, is it possible to fake about what I did with the phone (as it's still under warranty) ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvikrant97:
I can help you flash your device if you have the correct flash file for the phone.

Did you use Lava_Blaze_5G_LXX503_MT6833_SW_V07_HW_V1.0_221126-001.zip ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SubwayChamp:
It seems your issue is not that serious, only that is not well connected to the PC, upload some screenshot from device manager.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayus2003:
No the phone is detected under ports as Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM (in device manager) and as well as all drivers are installed.

The phone is actually bootlooping in brom mode it keeps on connecting and disconnecting.

The device is not ready to handshake, the emmc is heavily corrupted and it just doesn't respond I even tried {Mod edit: Link to paid services website removed. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator} (paid) to disable auth (but the thing is I realised they are all based on that bypass utility) so the emmc is either damaged or it is seriously corrupted which needs Jtag service or maybe that in newer chipsets like mt 6833 that tool (bypass ulility) is patched so it's giving error. I even tried mtkclient to manually write the boot, preloader etc.. but everything failed, tried commands python mtk plstage --preloader=<my preloader> and python mtk payload which all gave me this error "kamakiri2 failed cache issue :<" and even some guys here in xda tried to help me as I gave them remote access (i wouldn't disclose their names) but no one could fix my phone.

Well today I sent the device to service centre (it's a home service basically) and

That pickup guy didn't asked me anything except that whether the phone was physical/liquid damaged for which I said NO.

I am afraid about what's gonna happen next, the device's serial no, wifi, bluetooth mac addresses etc.. all have been changed (after booting the phone will they get to know what I did with the phone ?, as they probably have to flash stock rom again)

Guys, pls tell me what are the possibilities that may happen.

Damn after all this I got a huge lesson that we shall never do modifications on newly bought phones especially if primary (it wouldn't matter much as when the phone is aged and we have another new primary phone then we can do any cool things with the secondary phone and after all this I hate mtk phones I have never faced such issues with my other Qualcomm phones) 😓
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SubwayChamp:
Sorry, I´m seeing your self in an isolate island, you`re not opening your mind to a different point of view than yours, of course, absolutely sure, that I can be totally wrong, but, I don`t think, at least, from your narrative, why the eMMC has to be "seriously" damaged.

When I´m talking that the PC is not seeing, I mean, that it didn`t "take" contact with your device, preloader mode uses some different protocols to be, not only detected, but to interact with that device, if the handshake is not effectively done, then the exchange of data is not possible, this "short circuit" can be produced by many reasons though...

But, unfortunately, without having relevant information, nothing more can be done.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayus2003:
@SubwayChamp Honestly I tried all possible ways but everything failed (and over that the phone is totally battery drained and I couldn't even charge it).

Maybe something could be done from the hardware side like removing battery and then try flashing etc... but I didn't wanted to take risk as if I open the back case i will loose the remaining 10% chance of claiming the warranty 😔

@SubwayChamp Can you please answer this.

I will update this post as soon I get any callback from service center.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SubwayChamp:
This part is unlikely to know, who knows, what can the technician does with your device, you have to take in account, that the issues you are mentioning, if they are present, they do from the moment you did an unauthorized/unproper method, not after technician can see and attend your device. In regards the warranty, if you took to an unauthorized center, then you can´t expect that the authorized center, don`t realize that the device was opened, this is very easy to realize, for a trained eye, anyway, if they have the will to honor your warranty, they can do it for sure.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayus2003:
Ok so I am writing this after getting my phone back from service center today the courier boy came to my home and gave me the phone and yeah I am posting from that phone only 😁

And good thing is I didn't have to give a single penny lol.

It looks like they have changed the motherboard completely everything is changed the serial number, imei's, bluetooth, wifi mac addresses. And they have paste a sticker on the back of the phone with the new serial and imei nos.

And thanks to everyone who tried to help me in this post.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philipjuma:
I know I'm late to the party but I'd like to say there is a very high possibility that the partitions of your Nand flash were corrupted and your emmc probably had bad sectors. In SP flashtool, you should have pressed Ctrl + alt + V to enter advanced mode upon which you could Force format the whole Nand to clear up bad sectors and create the new partitions while ignoring those bad sectors. Then you could have flashed your phone successfully
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kartikay13564:
I am having same issue it sticks at red bar and then shows protocol error

I have tried your method but in sp flash tool force format doesn't starts without scatter file and after loading, the force flash option gets vanished and not shows up with the shortcuts which you have mentioned

Is there any solution??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrrWilfried:
If the same problem, I have the same problem. I wanted to install a CUSTOM ROM but it failed, so I wanted to reinstall the original ROM that I was going to download from the screen (HyperOS), but Before installing the ROM instead of choosing SOFTWARE UPDATE, I chose DOWNLOAD ONLY (SP FLASH TOOL V6), after installing the phone no longer turns on. Nothing works.
[General Questions and Answers] [deXter]:
Hi,

I'm looking for an alternative keyboard with a similar layout to that of the default windows keyboard.

To be specific:

- Standard QWERTY keyboard with keys arranged like a normal keyboard (not aligned vertically; ie must be zig-zag)

- Vertical height should similar to the default keyboard

- *Must* have numbers and punctuations visible on the default layout (ie, I shouldn't have to change to a different layout just for pressing a friggin "." like I have to do in PCM)

- Should have Ctrl, Shift/Caps keys on the default layout

- Should support gestures (like for backspace, space, caps etc)

Of course, all the above are the features of the standard keyboard. But the reason why I'm looking for an alternative keyboard is due to the lack of:

- Skins

- Word/Phrase Prediction

--

In case no such keyboard exists, I'm willing to settle for a T9 keyboard which works exactly like that of a mobile, where it's easy to switch between numbers/alpha/custom words at the press of a button. So for eg, if I want to enter "dexter", I should be able to press the keys in the sequence "def", "def" (twice), "wxyz" (twice), "tuv" , "def" (twice), "pqrs" (thrice). The word should then be automatically added to the dictionary (or prompted to). (All the T9 keyboards I've tried, like TouchPal, are inconvenient to use for typing non-dictionary words :( ). Oh, and once again, the vertical height of the keyboard should be as small as possible.

My OS is WM6 on a 201Mhz/48MiB PPCPE.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,

[deXter]
[General Questions and Answers] -PiLoT-:
if you use a different layout to the default pcm keyboard then you can see the full stop aswell as the qwerty and as for having numbers and qwerty at the same time with them being a good size is a bit mental. id recomend getting pcm and getting the theme skin called 2many iclone. the is a layout called 2many., this makes the comma and period visible. and its skinnable. and fyi if you hold down on the 123 button itll pop up with the numbers for you

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] risendima:
Hi everyone, I bought a second hand OnePlus Nord 2 5G a few days ago, which doesn't work as intended for every task related to 3D rendering. I noticed this problem after trying to play a game on it, because it started to show a lot of stutters and ran at 0/1 fps in the game main menu (where there is a background 3D train animation).

After some initial troubleshooting (updated to OOS 13, hard reset, reinstalled the game), I tried to download and run 3D Mark. Every test which should stress the GPU failed or yielded terrible results (according to the app, worse than 100% results of the same device and worse than 99% of all devices), while every CPU test went fine.

Before returning this smartphone, I'm eager to know how is it possible that my smartphone is lacking any 3D rendering capability without affecting any other use (also if is just a software related issue, I'd love to fix it and keep it, since I paid it way less than a new device with similar hardware costs right now).

I think that my GPU is just defective, or the drivers are broken (I don't know if this is a thing).

What testing could I do to determine if this is hardware related or software related? Thanks in advance
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Zain Ali.:
@risendima This issue is hardware side your GPU is defective.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] rohit4989:
You could try flashing it once but if that doesnt work which mostly wont work then you would need to replace your nord 2's motherboard. I highly suggest you to sell it to someone else and be honest in the selling process.

Hi

I have tablet Doogee T30 Pro and it has fast charging but the battery place on the back become very hot (unbearable) during charging, is that normal or I should return ?
[General Questions and Answers] PhoneRepairHUB:
not normal
[General Questions and Answers] Martin William:
Thanks I do these steps. The tablet has very low heat while using for internet, light gaming but when charging it start to become very hot (unbearable)

When you put it on charge, try to put in on something which enable the air flow or put it adjusant to wall with a slope, I hope it help.
[General Questions and Answers] applesucksLmao:
have you measured the heat? try turning off the device and charging it for like 15 minutes and measure the heat and compare it with charging while the device is not totally turned off (i mean actually off)

if you notice it is getting too hot, you should return it. Hot batteries mean high internal resistance which would result in a thermal runaway if left unatended, but thats the worst-case-scenario
[General Questions and Answers] Martin William:
excellent idea thanks, I am testing now
[General Questions and Answers] Martin William:
20 min charging while it is turned off is less hot and from the device info battery temp sensor it is 37 C

[General Questions and Answers] applesucksLmao:
do you still want a more advanced app to measure your battery? i can name one for you;

BatteryOne: Battery - Apps on Google Play

BatteryOne is a powerful tool to monitor the health of your battery.

play.google.com

this app measures mAh, percentage going up and down, temperature, it is amazing. It has a paid version aswell but obviously XDA is not the place to post cracked software
[General Questions and Answers] Martin William:
Thanks, Can the battery size be faked ?
[General Questions and Answers] Martin William:
max temp while charging with tablet on is 48 C and then when it reach 90% or above the temp is 37 C !!
[General Questions and Answers] applesucksLmao:
well, not really with that application i told you, as it measures alone.

Sorry for the delay, i've had some problems with my personal life
[General Questions and Answers] applesucksLmao:
that is actually really hot, the reason it gets colder when it reaches 90% is because when charging a lithium ion battery, you have 2 steps

Constant Current 0-85%

Constant Voltage 85-100%

As voltage nears 4.35V, the mA decreases and so does temperature

I think you should do a capacity test on the tablet and another thing; can you feel some smell coming from the tablet? Like an acetone-sweetish smell?
[General Questions and Answers] Martin William:
It ask to estimate the battery to charge below 15% to 100% so I did this and the app estimation was 6791 !! the reading from the system say 8580

Hope everything is fine

No smell . I did a capacity test as I said but it read 6791 instead of anything near 8580
[General Questions and Answers] applesucksLmao:
the system's reading will always tell the capacity your phone was registered with. Phone capacities can be faked by people easily. Literally.

Now, what can't be faked is the real capacity, what is phisically existent. I suggest you to use the "Cumulative" feature, which is on the left side of "Singular". It will measure more acurrately.

Your tablet charges with a 18W brick, right? I think that is too much for this kind of chinese-made tablet.

6791 mAh was expected to be honest, no way a tablet could have such high capacity for that price. But well, the mAhs dont quite mattery right now, I've only asked for then to have a direction of what to think. I think your tablet has actually a 7000 mAh battery. Now we've got to investigate why it is heating so much.

Is the power brick 18W?

[General Questions and Answers] AmirulAndalib:
chinese tabs and phones unless its from xiaomi huawei or bbk, most of them are uncertified from FCC, ROHS, etc, they dont have a single certification of authority, therefore it is safe to assume, these tabs are not safe anyway, instead of risking for safety, you should try to return it as soon as possible. It should be the best available solution for you.
[General Questions and Answers] Martin William:
I agree but they are sold also in Europe and US so I think if battery has explode risk there will be major fines . When I charge the tablet I will do it away from me :D
[General Questions and Answers] applesucksLmao:
Ok. Return the tablet as soon as possible, you are risking your life and basically have a bomb in your hands. As AmirulAndalib said, with those voltages you shouldn't get a hot tablet (higher voltage = less heat) , amperage is not high either, (the charging brick seems to be actually of good quality) the only thing i can think of is that the electrolyte of your battery has severely decomposed and the internal resistance increased
