[Lenovo ThinkPhone (by Motorola)] dominiksr:
I am thinking about buying some new phone. I thought this would be a good place to ask for more details about this device. I've been looking for some good bargains on the pixel 8 lately. Mainly because it's small and handy, has good speakers, vibration, inductive charging, long android support. Unfortunately mobile internet drains the battery very quickly and often loses range(so I've heard). ThinkPhone unfortunately is not small but due to better durability of components I would probably use it without a case.

I would appreciate if any user will say something more about such features of this device as:

- What is the vibration quality?

- Durability of the case/screen/frame. Have you noticed any scratches, scuffs on it after some time?

- Did you have any problems with gsm/BT/WIFI connection?

- Is the stereo speaker sound of good quality, not inferior to other flagships?

- Are the additional security options useful? Can you block network traffic to applications?

- Does this model fit well in the hand? Can it be operated comfortably with one hand?

- Is it easy to unlock and upload custom rom to the device?

- I heard that the phone has support of 3 android updates and 4 years of security patches. So theoretically the last update will get Q1 2027 with android version 16?

- Have you had any problems with it?

Unfortunately in my region you can't find it for less than 650 USD, I found with import fees for 500 USD, so it's at a similar price to pixel 7, samsung s23, nothing 2. I don't like rounded screens otherwise I would probably look at some motrola or oneplus 11.
[Lenovo ThinkPhone (by Motorola)] Zxalilh:
The Lenovo ThinkPhone isn't a bad phone, it's just not worth the money. It only has a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which you could say is kind of outdated nowadays. The phone has an aluminium frame, a aramid fibre back which is not as good as glass aesthetically since it is prone to scratching. It also has very little development going on for it as it's a phone that only a small amount people bought.

There are many phones such as the OnePlus Ace 3(Chinese model of the OnePlus 12R) with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, a charging speed of 100W, and also Gorilla Glass Victus 2 priced at $360.

Pixels are famous for having bad performance compared to phones using flagship Snapdragon processors because they are using their "own chips" manufactured by Samsung.

Samsung phones are pretty good if you live in the USA since it uses Snapdragon processors unlike the Samsung phones in other countries that use Exynos processors.

In the end, I would recommend something like the OnePlus 12R if you want a fast phone or the Galaxy S23 that has a good build, decent performance(only in the USA), and a decent amount of development going on.
[Lenovo ThinkPhone (by Motorola)] dominiksr:
Thanks for the reply. I will probably look around for something else or the model you mentioned.
[Lenovo ThinkPhone (by Motorola)] Meowdib:
I think the hardware is great. I think Motorola's poor implementation of Android holds it back. Somehow it's buggier than most. But it can be unlocked and rooted. LineageOS will be worked on, we are crowdfunding some funds to get a developer the device.
[Lenovo ThinkPhone (by Motorola)] lazarusrevol:
Is this real? LineageOS will come to this phone? That's amazing news, where's the thread for that?

I bought this 2 months ago. I'm really ok with the performance of the phone as it's solid fast always. Not doing anything fancy though. But all are blazing fast. Camera isn't as impressive, and i still can't find the correct Gcam variant for the model. Still the pictures are more than ok, just not something fancy. Battery life could be better, but really has long standby times, if you don't use it so much. Sound is clear, and the screen is lovely.
[Lenovo ThinkPhone (by Motorola)] Meowdib:
It's right under this thread.
[Lenovo ThinkPhone (by Motorola)] dominiksr:
Custom roms are ok but can introduce other problems like poorer sound quality (because dolby doesn't work) or banking apps that don't work. I suspect that probably these functionalities created by morolols will also not work on lineagos. I am, of course, in favor of using such roms, not one of my phones in the past has gained new life thanks to it.

Thanks for the feedback. I will look for some store in Europe what sells cheaper than in my country but carries shipping.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Cuonglla117:
The tittles say it all. I got the tab unlocked via mtkclient to messing around with frp lock but it just doesn't work. So i re-lock the device but now i'm still got dm-verity corrupt warning. Tried clean flash stock rom via odin. Still doesn't work. Anyone know how to get rid of it? Thank you for spending time on this.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] DarkestSpawn:
If the device is booting to system, you can try via terminal:

reboot "dm-verity enforcing"

but make sure you backup all your data first should anything go wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Cuonglla117:
I can't do that actually. Still got frp lock
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] DarkestSpawn:
I have never had to deal with FRP lock so hopefully someone else can provide further help.

done by erase seccfg partition using mtkclient
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Cuonglla117:
I got the tab from old friend with android 13 installed . However he can't delete the google account on it. So i try downgrade to android 11 u1. Now the tab got frp locked and can't do a thing to remove it. I tried erase frp partition using mtkclient but the lock still there. Can you guys help me? Thank so much.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Cuonglla117:
Done it myself. Quite ez though
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Edicus47:
What ended up allowing you to bypass the FRP and get everything removed if you don't mind me asking? Stuck in a similar situation and nothing posted previously seems to be working.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Cuonglla117:
The FRP Lock-i don't really know how it's done , i use the tool called 'mtk gsm labotory' and erase the lock when connect the tab in brom mode which can be access by shorting the test point to ground (need tab dissasemble)

If you mean your're able to flash other ROMs to overwrite the previous one, it's always possible.

It'll be simple as long as you follow the guide of the developer and the right recovery.

Have you a particular ROM in mind to flash?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamersodan1:
thank you for reply i got lineage os 20 and it reboots randomly so i need to replace it but i dont know which flash should i use

do you have any idea for a better rom for n8000 (note 10.1)

Greedy Huh? Either Pay to Get Roads Via a data Plan. Or Pay for Maps for TomTom. Why would someone take the time to compile very complex maps to work with GPS software and Give it away for free?

I'm sorry to say, but Capitalism Rules!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] smjoshi:
Checkout Terracrosser - Free (till now at least), requires no data plan, you need a PC with internet connection though to download maps either from Google Or Yahoo available free, Terracrosser comes with an application (on the PC) to package the Google/Yahoo maps that can be transfered to your Kaiser, NO voice prompts, no route planning, no other bells and whistles - basic tracking of position using the GPS on free road maps but what more you can expect for free.

I downloaded tomtom 7 to give it a try and it completely surpassed all expectations I had for it. Sure, the graphics may not be stunning but all of the recent roadwork around my city was on there and I was very impressed with how many poi's I had access too. I purchased the maps this morning and I recommend you do the same, you won't regret it.

[Samsung Galaxy A30 Questions & Answers] ma1363:
I had previously installed the 3.6.1 twrp version, now I have installed the 3.7.0 version, some custom ROMs are not installed with this version. Now when I install version 3.6.1 it stays at the Samsung logo. What should be done to solve the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy A30 Questions & Answers] Zxalilh:
It doesn't boot into TWRP as the Android version of the ROM you have on your phone is incompatible with the TWRP version, or it could be that you're doing something wrong.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabs_ty:
I am trying to root a Hisense F28m phone and I've gone as far as unlocking bootloader. I've tried the Magisk method but when I flash the patched boot image, it triggers a warning about system being broken and won't start up.

View attachment 6094745

I believe this is where flashing vbmeta comes in (I was following tutorial for rooting Hisense A9), but it doesn't seem to have that partition:

View attachment 6094746

I tried booting the patched boot image :

fastboot boot magisk_boot.img

, but when it boots up, it asks for password, so that is a dead end:

View attachment 6094747

I managed to create a twrp recovery for the device, but when I flash it:

fastboot flash recovery twrp_f28m.img

it cannot boot into recovery, it just brings the warning of broken system.

Booting twrp from fastboot seems to boot the twrp recovery:

fastboot boot twrp_f28m.img

View attachment 6094750

View attachment 6094751

I might have ported the twrp recovery badly since there are so many errors, I will look further into that. I tried flashing SuperSU zip file from twrp but that doesn't seem to work, actually flashing anything using twrp doesn't seem to work.

I think i need to disable dm-verity inorder to flash the magisk patched boot image and be able to boot into it. So I need help doing that.

PS: - The phone is an A-only system if that is of any help.

- When i unpacked the stock recovery, i found a "verity_key" file, i don't know if that is useful as well.

- Phone is running Android 8.1.0 and has a Snapdragon 430 processor.

Magisk
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabs_ty:
Like I already mentioned in the post and in my previous reply, magisk doesn't work, there is an extra step required before it can be used. That is what am looking for.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabs_ty:
I managed to solve this or atleast work around the issue. The main issue was flashing the patched boot would result in a warning about the boot being modified and it wouldn't go past that, and using the "fastboot boot" command booted up the phone but I was presented with a password screen. The trick was, after running:

fastboot Hisense unlock

I ran:

fastboot -w

to do a factory reset, then I ran:

fastboot boot magisk_patched_boot.img

So the phone booted up and I had to set up the phone again since I had done a factory reset. I installed magisk app and when it opened up, it required a reboot to install more components. After restarting, it brought up the password prompt again, and for this, I just powered off the phone and started it in fastboot boot mode(Hold Volume Up + connect usb cable connected to pc). Then I repeated the commands: "fastboot Hisense unlock" -> "fastboot boot magisk_patched_boot.img". This time when it booted up, it had root access and I could play around with the system. My main objective was to install gapps and I managed to do that manually using a root file manager. The root is not permanent and disappears when i reboot the phone, but it's good enough for me to do what I want. So in case I want to do something which requires root, I just have to boot using the patched boot image in fastboot mode.

PS: After doing what i wanted in root, I had to factory reset the phone since everytime it restarts, it brings up the password screen and I had to boot into fastboot and boot with the patched boot image, but since i installed gapps into the system partition, they remained even after factory reset.

I wanted to upgrade my S21+ to android 14 OneUI 6.1 but I couldn't find A firmware for my device CSC and I heard that If I flash with wrong CSC I will break my phone and my phones won't be usable again.

Please any help where to find a rom for my s21+ with ULJ csc of my region or carrier or whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] dringdro2:
You can download it from Bifrost.

And no another CSC will not break your phone, however if you find a rom with your CSC you can use HOME_CSC otherwise use CSC
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] Hosted25:
Do you mean that by using another unlocked rom csc will not break my device, I'm in Nigeria I'm using unlocked device my model number is SM-G996U, can I download SM-G996U1, because I read a thread that mentions that U1 is for unlocked and U is for locked
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] dringdro2:
No it wont. But if your phone is not unlocked you cannot flash it in the first place.
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] dringdro2:
In your developer options, see if you can enable OEM unlocking. If yes then your phone is unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] Hosted25:
I can't find OEM in my Developer Options
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] dringdro2:
Most likely ur Bootloader is locked. You should contact your carrier and ask them for an unlock code. If you get the code I can continue helping you.

Otherwise I don't know a tool for unlocking BL, maybe theres a paid service that gives you code. It's really unfortunate that youre stuck on Android 12.
[Google TV General] Mazouka:
Hello friends,

I want to install an application like EPSX on my Android TV TCL to play the PS2 Games but I did not find any apk that can be installed on it.

Thanks for your help.
[Google TV General] lewellyn:
Your best bet is probably RetroArch. Choose the APK simply marked "Download" under Android. https://www.retroarch.com/?page=platforms

However, PS2 might be a bit much to ask of a TV device. Especially since PS2 is still one of the under-development cores. And the system requirements are pretty steep on PCs...

[G1 General] chnky18:
i was wondering if i cut the string that attaches it and got rid of it, do you think tmobile would refuse to take my phone back if there was a problem? would that void a warranty?
[G1 General] kronos82:
When I had my T-Mobile Wing, mine actually fell off, when the ringer on my phone stopped working, and they asked me if there was any physical damage to the phone, if I ever dropped it, or if there was water damage. I said no and mentioned that the Memory card plastic flap fell off. The Rep said that the warranty was voided because that could be the cause of the ringing malfunction.........no joke..........I then asked to speak to their supervisor, While I was on the line the rep informed his supervisor about our conversation and the supervisor said to go ahead and send a free new Wing.

But why would you want to do this? For one if you take a close look inside where the memory card sits there are a few holes where dirt and dust can get in and do some damage, granted it is unlikely but why risk it just to get rid of a flap?
[G1 General] hbguy:
i think the mini usb door is so flexible and seems like its gonna break. Mine is not really solid and it stretch pretty far. I wish it was different sometimes because it doesn't let you plug in some chargers since the flash is so close to the access point and the usb flap gets in the way :(

has anyone's fallen off?

hbguy
[G1 General] momentarylapseofreason:
First thing I do with all of my phones is rip it off. NEVER have had a problem with returns ever.

If you're an ignoramus and ask if it matters, of course they are going to play you for a fool.

Secondly, I think that Kronos has an issue with reading comprehension as he is talking about your memory card cover while you are asking about the USB port.

I gently pried mine off within 5 minutes of the phones arrival and I have it safely stored "just in case"

mine just fell off on its own, but i wish it didnt cause im affraid that water might some how get inside and ruin it, do u think tmob will give me a new phone cause that?

[Vivo X Fold3] bmwjavier45:
Vivo X Fold3 with originOS 4 contains a chronic problem related to notifications, you disable any battery saving option, enable all notification permissions, and even then hours later the device stops issuing notifications from your banking, messaging and others. I can't trust the notifications from this device. Furthermore, "hey google" doesn't work either and the default assistant, Jovi, is only in Chinese. a disaster... I started to regret having purchased VIVO....... :(:confused::cry:
[Vivo X Fold3] mr2kqql:
I guess you havent done your research before buying any Chinese Rom devices. Non of them work with hey google or android auto as in China, no body use it. They have much more advance version of similar to android auto. Also you much have the device not setup correctly, I had been using vivo with funtouch and originOS and I do get all of my notification immediately. Vivo nex 3s, vivo x90, x fold 2 and x fold 3 pro.
[Vivo X Fold3] bmwjavier45:
Yes, I did my research before buying it and it was clear to me that Android Auto wouldn't work, but "Hey Google" I didn't know that. I actually have a friend with a Xiaomi mi 14 ultra China Rom, and it does work "hey google".

On the other hand, the issue of notifications is driving me crazy. Sometimes they arrive instantly and other times they arrive after 1 hour or more. I have the applications configured this way: https://xdaforums.com/t/vivo-notification-issue.4659806/

Please tell me if there is anything else I can do to make the notifications work normally for me.

And one last question. Since "hey google" doesn't work I thought about replacing it with Alexa, but on vivo x fold 3, the "Alexa" voice command only works if the app is open. Is there a way to replace the Google Assistant with another that recognizes the voice command even if the app is not open??

Thank you very much in advance,
[Vivo X Fold3] hkhyw:
try this:

1. install outlook app and sign in(it auto run FCM)

2. turn on google service in setting

3. install google play store

4. trun on autostart and asscociated startup

5. high background usage

6. lock the app in task manager (optional, not really needed)
[Vivo X Fold3] bmwjavier45:
I guess to do this I have to do a factory reset first, right? I'm a little lazy to do it, because I already have many applications installed and configured...

Another thing I have observed is that both the Play Store and Google Play Services are not updated. In order to update them I have to do it from V-Appstore.

Finally. Could you please tell me a way to wake up the phone with my voice? Hey Google doesn't work and Alexa only does it if the application is open.
[Vivo X Fold3] hkhyw:
it's Jovi, but support chinese only.

chinese rom is not friendly with google, if a high usage with google there are some brand like oppo one+ honor have international version support full google framework, I think it's more suitable to you.

I have CHINA version "ORIGIN OS" VIVO fold 3 Pro. Great phone. Youn easily debloat china apps. The only and only Problem is the Gmail notifications. I did all possible things to get unread count on Gmail native application. But total failure. Number notification on Gmail is most important for me. I do not get push emails or notifications, which are so sooth on iPhone or Samsung. I did all solutions provided but no success. Maybe I have to shift to Indian variant to get push emails and notifications on Gmail app. Can someone save me from this buy.. just to get push and notifications on Gmail..
