I did the same when I upgraded from 1 gig card to 8. I copied all the files to a folder on PC, turned off phone, switched to the 8 gig card and then copied old files back to new card. As long you don't erase all the old info from the 8 gig and just copy and paste to the 16 gig, you should have no probs.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] User422:
Hey hey,

my phone has had stability and performance issues for a while now.

After a new official OTA the processes "System", "System UI" and the apps I use crash a few times within a few days and then it doesn't happen anymore.

A consisting problem is that when the screen is off, I press the on button but it takes up to 3 seconds until the screen turns on.

Sometimes it even shows me the on/ off commands as if I had long pressed the on/ off button.

Sometimes when using Youtube Revanced to listen to videos via bluetooth headphones, the system freezes for a short bit while the screen is off with no input or when I try to turn the screen on.

What could this be related to?

Should I factory reset the phone to get rid of junk or clean install the OS?

Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Smedslund:
My suggestion is factory reset.

Hello everyone of XDA. I downgraded to Windows 10 for the reason that i didn't find myself comfortable with Windows 11. When I downgraded, it created the Windows.old folder that contains the users and the folder "windows" that inside it has System 32.

I don't want to restore files, i want to reinstall the OS (Windows 11) using the windows.old folder. Can I?
[Windows 11] yourtechtokerbattery:
Hi, sadly, it doesn't say "Go back to the previous version of Windows". Can I, like, make an ISO file of the Windows.old folder? Thank you.
[Windows 11] MarkCollin:
Yes, you can try using the "Windows.old" folder. But don't forget to make backups.
[Windows 11] Xploit Machine:
for performance and quality, just backup important / personal folder and files .. do a fresh install from latest original ISO .. reverting, upgrading and downgrading methods will affect the system performance, trust me ..

Hello,

I got Samsung Galaxy S9 phone with the latest Whatsapp app version.

While on Whatsapp call using speaker on my phone, if someone calls on my phone (regular phone call), I can't hear the other side on the existing Whatsapp call (if they try to talk, I can't hear them - They can hear the vibration or the sound of the other incoming call, but I can't hear them if they talk).

I can hear them again only when the incoming call is declined or it stops ringing.

Here is how to reproduce the issue:

1.) Have 1 whatsapp caller call your whatsapp, answer, put on speaker and let the other side talk.

2.) Have another regular phone caller call on your phone.

Actual behavior: I can't hear the whatsapp caller anymore while the regular call is ringing.

Expected behavior: To be able to hear the whatsapp caller regardless of any incoming calls on my phone.

Note: This issue doesn't happen on my iphone (receiving the phone call while talking on whatsapp), so something with samsung/android/whatsapp combo is causing this glitch.

Is there any setting on my android phone settings or whatsapp app settings that can prevent this from happening, so if I talk with someone on Whatsapp, I can hear them all the time, regardless if there are any incoming phone calls? Do you have this issue too?

Thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptstr:
UPDATE: I spoke with Samsung support, they're still investigating, but here's what we found so far: I have galaxy s9 with latest android software update that was provided by samsung which is the one that was installed on August 29, 2022:

Version: G960FXXUHFVG4 (Android 10)

G960FOXMHFVB4 / G960FXXUHFVB4

Security patch level: March 1, 2022

We tried the same test with other apps:

Skype - It puts the skype call on hold when there is an incoming phone call

Signal - It does the same problem as with Whatsapp, you can't hear the other side while the incoming call is ringing

According to samsung support rep, it could be a limitation of the latest software update that samsung provided, she said she will follow up with the supervisor to check.

But really, I find this mind blowing that this functionality works like that, because with iPhone you can get incoming phone calls and not be interrupted on any active voip apps based call but with samsung android, every time you get a call or a spam call or whatever it could interrupt/disturb your ongoing voip call and if you have an important voip call this is a very bad situation, so I hope samsung can figure out some workaround resolution for this if not a new software update is provided since the device is no longer supported software wise.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptstr:
Hello,

I got Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite tablet with the latest Whatsapp app version.

If I try to write in Whatsapp chat, it shows the Samsung virtual keyboard where if I press this button (it's like an arrow that goes down and to the left, I believe it's the same as the the enter key in pc):

Rather than making a new line, it just sends the message (it's doing exactly what the paper airplane button is doing in Whatsapp which it also sends the message).

Note: If I use my Galaxy S9 phone and try to use the exact same button (arrow down and to the left), it does the new line as expected so it seems like an issue with the tablet only. It also works if I use my tablet and the same arrow button in Skype app, it then does a new line as expected so it seems to be limited to samsung s6 lite tablet/android/whatsapp app combo (so one of the 3 is at fault here for this bug, samsung, android or whatsapp).

The fact that it did work when we did this with the support rep after clearing the cache for the app tells me that something glitches it at some point and causes it to stop working. But I tried to clear the cache again after the issue returned but it didn’t solve the problem so I’m not sure what’s going on.

Note 2: Under WhatsApp > tap 3-dot menu (top right corner) > Settings > Chats, I don't see a setting such as "Enter is send" I checked both the galaxy tablet and my iphone and didn’t see it.

I tried to call Samsung support, they did some troubleshooting with me, we did cache clearing for Whatsapp app, it seem like it resolved the problem after that, but after few minutes the issue came back again. I'm planning to call their support again, but wanted to see if anyone encountered this issue too and might know any alternative solutions including adding some new custom button to the Samsung keyboard that would allow to do a proper new line or some other possible solutions.

Thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptstr:
UPDATE: I found a workaround resolution: If the samsung keyboard is fixed then it’s working as expected. If it’s floating then it doesn’t work. It was sent to samsung engineers by samsung support for a further review why it doesn’t work.

Hi, I try to connect my Oneplus buds pro 2 to my new Fold 5 but each time I try it will pair but not connect. I tried everything (restart, Bluetooth on off, network reset) but none of this helped. My earphones remain in the pairing mode for the pairing but exit it before they connect. I tried to connect to an old LG phone I have and ir connected without any problems, on another hand a pair of sony buds connected to my Fold 5 without any issues as well. Does anyone have any idea what to do?

Doesn't sound like a FW bug to me. Sounds like the bluetooth pairing configurations maybe corrupted. Try deleting your headset from your device, then factory reset your headset. You should be able to pair it again after that

What phone you using? Global, EU or Indian?

There's an issue with EDL, either the package or a nothing issue, either way don't use it yet until it's fixed..

As of right now I don't believe there is a way out your situation.

Can you get to fastboot? Or recovery?
[Nothing Phone 2] Sunbelife:
thanks for reply

I can't enter fastboot or recovery

my phone is global version.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
At this point after everything I've seen happening on other people's phones I believe the only way out is to send it back or if you have a service center then go visit them, but personally I would RMA the device... I'm advised that this is an issue with the Nothing.

They'll probably give your a new phone.
[Nothing Phone 2] Battlehero:
I bricked my device and have to send it back to Nothing, their store in Soho is only for retail and can't / don't do phone service.

Nothing support is actually very bad to deal with, I wasted a week trying to get my phone sent in for repair. They kept asking the same questions over and over again. The ticket was handled by different technical staff. They kept telling me to update the firmware to the latest version. Even after explicitly telling them I can't boot the device into the bootloader or recovery etc.

So I wish you luck, it could also be that I was just very unlucky.

I have asked for the EU version of the EDL Tool from the previous source. Let's see what happens.

Update:

One week has passed since they got the device, no further updates so far.
[Nothing Phone 2] MisiekDP:
Hey, any updates for not? What about your phone? Was repaired or not (if repaired - how?)?
[Nothing Phone 2] Battlehero:
Their customer service was appalling, my support ticket was sent from one agent to another. Each time I was handed over to a new agent, they would start from stage 1 (What error are you seeing? Have you tried rebooting into the bootloader / recovery? Have you tried updating to the latest version of the OS?). Eventually, near the 3 week mark they finally decided to accept an RMA. This included calling and emailing almost every other day. I just requested my money back and moved on.
[Nothing Phone 2] MisiekDP:
Damn, it sounds terrible. I understand that it's a new brand and it's just developing, but to me such constant asking further from the basics sounds like disrespect towards the customer. Since you wrote that you don't have the ability to launch the phone, they shouldn't ask any more about it. It's kind of terrible.

Thanks for reply.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
This is exactly what happened to me.

Once the phone goes off they do fix it but they do not update the status until it's on the way back..

They're very very poor.
[Nothing Phone 2] MisiekDP:
What happened to your phone that you had to send back/repair? Did you damage something with modifications or did the phone fail independently of you?
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Nah didn't fail on its own, that's rare.

I flashed a payload.bin using fastboot enhance, have done it before on other phones and it went straight to crash dump, I didn't have an EDL cable at the time so I was forced to RMA.

I only used payload because I couldn't update and was just trying some stuff, didn't think it'd do that or I wouldn't be able to access fastboot.

I do have a EDL cable now so I'm good to try anything, have had the black screen fault too, that was a bit scary to get out of, @mvikrant97 got me out of it though.

I'll never send it to RMA again, unless something really fails like the ability to call etc, if I can repair it I will.
[Nothing Phone 2] MisiekDP:
Haha, that sounds crazy because that looks like my story too. I was curious about 2 weeks ago about this fastboot enhancer tool. I didn't know about this and first time I saw it about 2 weeks ago and I tried to flash payload.bin directly to the phone without dumping and it was brick too.

And I read some about that legendary black screen. I would like to know in future - why that black screen occurs and how to repair this?

@mvikrant97 could you explain me why that black screen occurs sometimes and how to solve this? I am thinking to back to Nothing Phone in future and would like to know that thing (black screen) in EDL mode.
[Nothing Phone 2] mvikrant97:
A detailed explanation is available here.

EDL is simply Emergency Download Mode which communicates with the Chip of the phone in absense of OS or OS corruption.
[Nothing Phone 2] MisiekDP:
I know what EDL Mode is it, I used this a lot of times on different phones but why black screen ossured on Nothing Phone? For example I read a lot of situation on OnePlus with EDL Mode restore and there are completly no black screens. I am curious inly about that black screen on Nothing Phone.
[Nothing Phone 2] mvikrant97:
Its because you are not flashing the firmware correctly.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
I've had it myself, you need the EDL cable to get out of it... It's a bit scary when it happens but you can 100% get out of it.

If I had to guess I'd say it's probably the lowest level before EDL within the boot sequence, hence no graphics on screen, not even crash dump mode.

You can get to it by flashing to the wrong slot.

I know because that's what happened to me.
[Nothing Phone 2] MisiekDP:
Ao what is the correct way to flash firmware via EDL? And where you can choose any settings to flast EDL in other way?

I used EDL many times and always needed only to turn EDL Mode and flash firmware.
[Nothing Phone 2] MisiekDP:
Oh seriously wrong slot?

And isn't it the case that when flashing EDL, the slots don't matter, because everything is replaced? So how did you fix it (black screen)?
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Mvikrant helped me, tbh he is the man when it comes to EDL, there's no one more knowledgeable than him here.
[Nothing Phone 2] MisiekDP:
Ok, great then, it's good that there are people who specialize in this among us. Was this help remotely, using a console, or did you send your damaged phone to him? I wonder if I ever had such a problem, whether it would be possible to do it remotely.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Remotely.. he's a great guy.

Doesn't want anything but it's nice to give him something. Quite a rarity these days..
