For anyone who doesn't know, wireless PowerShare discharges a smartphone's battery wirelessly into another another smartphone. The smartphone acts as a wireless charging pad but with its own non-replaceable battery as a power source.

Now, why is that a problem?​

PowerShare turns your shiny gadget into a useless brick even faster.

PowerShare would only make sense for smartphones with a user-replaceable battery, since it wears down the battery at a rapid pace.

Given that only a tiny fraction of smartphones released since the last decade come with a user-replaceable battery, PowerShare should only be reserved for emergencies. The non-replaceable battery already is the one part that limits the operational life expectancy of many smartphones. PowerShare is a sure way to get there even faster.

So long as batteries in mobile phones are not replaceable, PowerShare is a wasteful use of the phone's finite charging cycles.

A battery might be replaceable by a phone repair shop, but even that is being restricted by the serialization of batteries. Serial numbers are associated with the battery to disable some operating system features if an "unauthorized" replacement is detected, of course "to protect the consumer". Yeah, right. Also, there have been reports of privacy invasions by phone repair shops. And it takes hours to go there to and later to pick up your repaired phone, rather than minutes to insert a replacement battery at home.

Limiting performance to prevent loss of performance​

People are already forced into using power saving mode to delay the weardown of their phone batteries. This means they limit the performance of the powerful processors they paid for. People also keep the battery charge between 25 and 75 percents or similar, which artificially halves the useable battery capacity. To delay an actual reduction in capacity, people artificially limit their battery capacity. Isn't that ironical?

Non-replaceable batteries are as insane as non-replaceable oil in a car. They take users' freedom away to use their phone at the full performance without having to worry about irreplaceable parts.

If your phone battery is expired (dead) and your data is on internal storage and not MicroSD, good luck getting access to your data. You might have to resort to creating an FTP server on the phone. Otherwise, have fun bluetooth-sending each file to a different device and lose their date and time stamp in the process.

There is hope.​

It appears the EU is trying to do something against non-replaceable batteries. It might be two decades late, but better than never. If I could have made the law, I would have immediately nipped non-replaceable batteries in the bud before the sunrise of January 10th, 2007, the day after the first iPhone came out.

Or perhaps even earlier.

A replaceable battery is like a battery never wears down.

[General Topics] blackhawk:
I've never even tried the power sharing feature.

It's rather bizarre but in a pinch it might be useful.

Regardless it's easy to disable and causes no harm as such.

All Samsung flagship batteries are replaceable and should be replaced every 2-3 years average.

Part of routine maintenance.

Not as easy as say an S4 but a small shop might charge as little as $50. Make sure the rear cover seal is replaced as well.

Once an Li reaches 80% of its rated value it's considered degraded and should be replaced to prevent a failure which can destroy the phone.

Any battery swelling is a failure, power down and replace it asap.
[General Topics] Hendrix7:
Not exactly. Samsung has started serializing batteries so they are associated to a specific device, to discourage repairs.

Non-replaceable batteries give smartphone vendors the possibilities to make repairs even more difficult. It is a slippery slope.
[Android TV General] davidstipek541.7:
1st of all drive is in external case with it's own power supply. SO POWER IS NOT an issue.

I am using a Tannix TX6s Android Version 10.0 TV Box.

I want to store my movies on this for easy family usage. I have FatEx software to relieve any NDFS/EXFAT issues.

I get to 180gb and files start getting written over and become unreadable. I can still see movie titles but result is Movie unreadable. Example: I add 1 move move and last one that was working 30 seconds ago... Cannot be read now, along with 10 others. Seems as if at this point using my TV Box, which has two 2.0 USB Ports, one 3.0 USB Port and one external SDHX Port is useless.

Does this mean My TV Box cannot use external drive? Both TV Box and External Drive (in a case) have their own power supplies. Is this 2TB limit just a fake statement? Why so many external ports if I cannot use? I have tried single drive, and all possible drive/USB-SDHC Combinations.

Am I going about using Drives to form a storage Hub wrong?

Basically how do I keep the manifest from a free version of an app separate from the paid version ?. The free versions only difference is that it has adMob ads.

When the paid app is compiled the manifests merge and I don't want them to. I tried a few things but I do not believe I did any of it correctly (obviously).

How do I do this ?

[OnePlus 10T 5G] Bytezilla:
I am currently facing an issue with my OnePlus 10T, which is stuck in EDL (Emergency Download) mode, commonly referred to as the 9008 mode. Despite trying several methods to resolve this issue, I am yet to find a solution.

Device Status:​

Model: OnePlus 10T

Issue: Stuck in EDL (9008) mode

Troubleshooting Steps Attempted:​

Button Combinations: I have tried various button configurations to exit EDL mode. It will briefly reboot for the various configurations of buttons, but no display change, and returns to 9008.

Up + Power: Resulted in no response from the device, with no display changes.

Down + Power: Similar outcome, with the device remaining unresponsive.

Up + Down + Power: This also failed to produce any change in the device's status.

Despite these attempts, the only response I get is from my computer, which registers the device in 9008 mode.

Seeking Community Assistance​

Given the above, I am reaching out to the knowledgeable XDA community for assistance. If anyone has encountered a similar issue or has expertise in dealing with such situations, your guidance would be highly appreciated.

Specific Questions:​

Are there any specific software tools or methods recommended for resolving this issue?

Is there a known firmware flash process that can help in this situation?

Any advice on precautionary measures to prevent potential data loss during the troubleshooting process?

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. Any insights or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

---

TL;DR: Seeking solutions on XDA for a OnePlus 10T stuck in EDL (9008) mode. Tried button combinations (up+power, down+power, up+down+power) without success; the phone remains unresponsive, though the computer recognizes it in 9008 mode. Looking for advice on software tools, firmware flashing, or any other methods to resolve the issue and precautions to avoid data loss.

EDIT: I do have an identical OnePlus 10T that does work. Can I extract EDL loaders from that device?

Thought this was unreleased?
[OnePlus 10T 5G] satopi22:
I don't understand English, so sorry if I'm wrong.

I had the same situation but solved it.

I needed an OTP to log in to MSMtool, which cost about 5$, and I could do the flash myself, but the procedure was too complicated, so I asked another technician to do it for me, even though it would cost more.

In my case, I contacted NC PHONE and paid 15$ for a desktop Remote that I had MSMflash.

Reference.
[OnePlus 10T 5G] 3MrBojangles3:
It's simple. Just hold volume up and power until it turns on. Takes like 15-20 seconds. You might not be holding it long enough or maybe there's damage to the button.
[OnePlus 10T 5G] InternetUser7792:
I was stuck in EDL and what you say unfortunately is not enough, you need an MSM tool to fix from that state, trying any combination with the keys will not fix it..

P.S. I send it to OnePlus support and they fixed it for free, I am in Europe.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] epifan1968:
Folks, I need your help. I have S22 Ultra factory unlocked US version. I have a T-mobile sim and a foreign e-sim roamed to ATT. I used to have excellent reception on both sims, but about a month ago something happened to reception. It is just plane horrible on both sims. I get normal reception only when I am real close to a tower. Otherwise it can show full bars but no real reception and/or no bars at all at places where I used to have good reception before December 2023. My wife has S21 and similar sim setup as I do and has great reception all the time. I tried everything normally recommended: reseting network settings, all of the updates, factory reset and so on and so forth .. nothing worked. Anyone has an idea of what has happened in December and if there is a solution?

Thank you so much.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Ask AT&T tech support to reset the connection on their end. Clear SIM toolkit data, network reset, clear system cache. A hard reboot can also be tried.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] epifan1968:
Thanks for suggestions. I tried everything except for "hard reboot". What is that?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Simulates pulling the battery.

It can resolve issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lestatab:
I just wrote about that. Try resetting to factory settings without the SIM card and Wi-Fi, and disable those options

[SOLVED] Poor/Weak signal after update

Long story short, changing the csc to TMB (or the csc of your country) and disabling cidmanager is enough (Update4). Yeah, yeah, I know. It's a well-documented and apparently unsolvable problem, but after trying several options that I read...

Thank you so much. It looks like you may have found the solution. I read your post, but I am new to this -, and I am not sure what CSC or FKR or Odin are.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Renate:
It is ELF32 format (except for those with ELF64).

You can write what you want, but unless your name ends in Redmi you probably can't cryptologically sign it.

Without that Qualcomm Secure Boot won't load it.

I have no idea if there is a Firehose loader for this model.

You should probably do the first steps with an EDL client to get the HWID and hash.

That will help people in searching for a programmer.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] LIMPIX31:
Wdym? Signer name? Does mido have Qualcomm Secure Boot? I found a few references to it not being so.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Renate:
I presume so. But I have a difficulty being certain because 1) I don't own one, 2) I don't have your loader.

Does your loader work with an EDL client? Does it have Xiaomi authorization?

You could post the loader...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] LIMPIX31:
Yes.

This lib uses 000460e100000000_57158eaf1814d78f_fhprg_edlauth_peek.bin for my device.

And also says: Xiaomi EDL Auth detected
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Renate:
Well, there would hardly be a point of putting in authorization if you didn't have Secure Boot enabled.

You can only patch loaders if Secure Boot is not enabled.

Some devices have it not enabled, but almost never Android user devices.

Ok, so here you go.

This is that loader that you posted.

I changed a spelling error in an error message:

C:\>modfile limpix31.bin 4fb77 /a received
[0004fb77] recevied => received

Then I rehashed it.

If you compare the original to this version you can see I interposed two characters and rehashed one program:

Spoiler content hidden.

You can try to use this. If it fails immediately then you know that Secure Boot is enabled and no alterations are possible.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] LIMPIX31:
Yes, unfortunately it is uploaded as long as the bytes of the modified file match the original file, then the serial port is closed (broken pipe).

But I've detected some strange behavior. I found another file that has a different size and doesn't contain this spelling error and it also uploads successfully.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Renate:
That's interesting. That has the correct hash, is pretty similar but does not have the message, "Only nop and sig tag can be received before authentication."

Does that one work without Xiaomi authorization or did they only remove the message?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] project_2501:
I have a penchant for the error in the sentence above (parsing for errors) : interposed != transposed ; if you know what I mean ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Renate:
I purloined a vowel and interposed it. The net effect being a transposition.

Installed shamiko

Added the game to denylist then reboot

Installed safety net fix module by krag0n

Installed "Hide my app list" and enabled its module from lsposed

Hiding root using hide my app list

Hiding magisk itself

Doesn't work
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Weird.

ISLANDS is a relatively stable app and should work well on stock Android 13. If you are using a custom ROM, it may be that ISLANDS is incompatible with this.

If you do encounter any issues, you can try updating the app to the latest version or reporting the issue to the developer.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Try Shelter.

Or try Multiple User profile (supported in most brands, except Samsung).
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Stock android what !?

I use android 8.1 🙂
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Well, A note for you and for @xXx yYy

When I get to the stage of "creating a work profile", it fails "see the screenshot"

View attachment 6057978
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
It means Android 8.1 doesn't have the built-in Work Profile in the OS.

Work Profile is built into modern Android versions (I'm not sure since which version) which several OEMs hide in their implementation of Android. These apps simply re-enable this feature and make it accessible to the user. By itself, the apps do not create anything. They only 'unhide' what is already present. If they are not able to do this on your phone, it simply means Android 8.1 on your phone doesn't have this feature.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
To my knowledge Android 8 is the first version of Android to officially support work profiles. Android 8 only allows one work profile to be created on a device.

BTW: The ISLANDS app requires a number of permissions to function properly, including the ability to create and manage work profiles. If you have not granted all of the necessary permissions to the app, it may not be able to set up a work profile.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
People can try this for preventing the ISLANDS app from giving you the error "Couldn't set up your workprofile":

Close any other apps that you are not using before you try to set up your work profile.

Make sure that you have enough storage space on your device.

Try restarting your device in safe mode. Safe mode disables all third-party apps, which can help to identify if a third-party app is interfering with the ISLANDS app.

FYI: On my grandson's Huawei Y7 2019 running Android 8.1 ISLANDS perfectly installed and is running.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
I have never used Island, but have installed Shelter in several phones without any problems. The only difference is they were all running Android 12 or newer.

In addition to the above, another thing to keep in mind is Android only allows a total of 5 profiles, and this includes the Main Profile and the Guest Profile. So, if multiple users are enabled on a phone and there are already 4 users installed (in addition to the Main user), then Work Profile cannot be set up.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Some addition info on Multiple Users can be found here:

Btw I use oppo a5s, so what is related things in an MIUI 13 thread with my device ?!
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
What is not working on your Oppo phone?
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Creating a work profile so I can get "island" or "Shelter" working.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Shelter or Island don't 'create' anything. Work Profile is already part of recent Android versions. These apps simply 'unhide' the Work Profile and make it accessible to the user.

For some unknown reasons, OEMs like Samsung, Xiaomi, and others hide them in their own implementations of the OS. Same is true for Multiple Users. Samsung has even removed it from OneUI.

In your case, the Android version on your phone most likely doesn't have this feature built-in, which is why these apps are unable to make it available to you.

If it did not come via OTA, the CPH2447IN "Oxygen updater" is also available for you (OxygenOS 14.0.0.401)

When the battery is really 100% full, even if you take it out of the charger and look at the settings of one or two phones, it starts to diminish instantly and this is not normal and I strongly believe that this is intentional.

Right now all the marketing tactics to get you to "oneplus 12"...
