Xiaomi is for those who know what they want to do with their devices more than what the manufacturer designs it for.,

Vivo is for those who just want to use.

Iqoo is Vivo's subbrand, so it's the same.

Out of the 3, only Xiaomi officially allows bootloader unlocking. The other two requires you to find an unofficial secret method somewhere and will void warranty. Xiaomi only demands the bootloader to be relocked if you want to claim a warranty.
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] mikezilla2:
Where to you Even buy the Vivo and the 13 Pro ?

regardless of region ? US/UK/EU/ outside these regions ? most of the listings im seeing are above 500 GBP ... @NOSS8
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] NOSS8:
Nope, Xiaomi does not ask for this, the bootloader is unlocked with MiUnlock, an official Xiaomi tool, the only problem for the warranty is if you have an AOSP but for some this has not caused a warranty problem.

And when the phone is bricked, unlocking the bootloader is not possible.

If it is an HW problem, you can re-lock the bootloader if that reassures you.
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] leledumbo:
Might be a bit different by country then. My local Xiaomi representative said what I said above when someone asked him a while ago.
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] NOSS8:
Possible, but never tell them that you unlocked the bootloader, just say that it no longer works.

In general, the shops when they present subcontract the repairs.

On a phone that no longer starts or is in bootloop, it is not possible to know if the bootloader is unlocked, most of the time it is a flash in EDL mode that solves the problem.
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] leledumbo:
Sure, it's a common trick to look dumb so they try to figure out what you've actually done.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] tosho1:
Hi folks,

today I re-flashed my OnePlus 8 from LineageOS to Stock ROM.

After some trouble with manually flashing the different partitions I used the MSM unbrick-Tool and everything seemed to work well.

But now I see that no SIM-Card is recognized. No asking for a PIN and no emergency calls are possible. The phone runs with Oxgen and Android 10 now

One reason MAY be that with LineageOS i upgraded to the latest Stock Kernel (and modem?).

Any Idea?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] rodken:
Unseat your SIM Card and run the MSM Tool. Reseat the SIM after boot to system is complete.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] tosho1:
@rodken: I already have done that with no avail.

I cannot even do an emergency call.

So it's probably not a SIM-Card problem but more a problem with the modem?

When reverting to stock my first try was to follow the instructions on lineage.com to update to the latest OnePlus-stuff (bootloader and modem? I don't know) I had to do this in the past before I could upgrade Lineage from Android 11 to 12. (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/instantnoodle/fw_update/)

After that I was still on LineageOS (didn't check if telephony was still working after that)

After that I tried the MSM-Tool. After that I had Oxygen on my phone, but telephony was broken.

Could it be that I flashed a wrong modem here? Or maybe erased the IMEI (I still have the IMEIs written down here)
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] rodken:
That's odd, because reverting to the MSM Tool should have corrected the modem issue.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] tosho1:
I have just noticed that the IMEI value for both SIM slots is empty. How can I fix this? I strongly suspect that this is the reason for the failure.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] rodken:
If you are indeed using a OnePlus 8, what happens after you use the MSM Tool and boot to system?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] tosho1:
Everything's fine except for the telephny, and IMEI of the SIM-slots are set to "None"
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] rodken:
-- Turn on Phone

-- Reset network settings in -> settings, general, network

-- Turn on Airplane mode (as in no signal)

-- Turn off Phone

-- Remove all SIMS, Replace tray empty

-- Turn on Phone

-- Turn off Airplane

-- Confirm no cards

-- Turn off phone

-- Place SIM in tray

-- Turn on Phone

-- Wait up to 60 seconds

Or

-- Enable airplane mode

-- Hard Reset Phone

-- Disable Airplane Mode

If all else fails, which version of the OnePlus 8 and MSM Tool version are you using?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] tosho1:
Thanks for the hints. It's the phone of a friend. May take a while for my feedback.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] rodken:
Let your friend know to be prepared for a replacement if MSM Tool cannot fix the issue or search for a modem.img to flash in fastboot mode.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] tosho1:
Oh, I HAVE a modem image. lineageOS webpage has a good page how to upgrade the firmware.

You think flashing modem.img helps? I have no idea at all where the IMEIs are stored.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinniezinho:
Hello all,

I am playing with an old i9000 to have as backup phone.

I flashed a 6.0.1 rom that works ok, but I would like gapps to have some apps from playstore that I bought.

Current pico gapps from here give me error 70.

Tried latest (2016) A-GAPPS from here and after login I am stuck on the screen asking to add a phone number, I click skip and nothing happens. In fact no button works.

Anybody has a solution?
[Google Pixel 8] tosho1:
I've had my brand new Pixel 8 for about 2 months now.

I use my phone "normally" and have to charge it about once a day. I also take care not to load it to 100% (if possible) or let it be too empty.

I don't see exessive heating or battery drain (also I loose about 6% overnight in flight mode).

Nevertheless, according to the AccuBattery app, the battery capacity has dropped from 100 to 88%

Is this normal behaviour for a new phone? I've always had used cell phones and have never seen a battery age so quickly.
[Google Pixel 8] blackhawk:
Could be. It may stabilize then stay like that for many months. Accubattery isn't perfect so there's that. That app's history gives a good idea of SOT % per hour and that is a strong indicator of battery health.

Li's can be permanently damage from one single event such as low or high temperature charging. I lost about 5-7% like that when my N10+ was 2 weeks old. The battery failed at about 15 months.

Limit discharge to 20-30% most times.

Top charge 82% most times, 72% is better.

Li's love frequent midrange power cycling 30-70%, roughly. Smaller increments are better.

Minimum start charging temperature is 72F however 82F or higher is optimal to avoid Li plating. Stop charging if battery temp exceeds 102F. Starting at 95F cooling can be used if needed. Never attempt to charge if below 40F!

Don't sweat too much, simple replace as needed. Most Li's last 1-3 years in a heavily used device. Li's are considered degraded when they reach 80% of their original capacity and should be replaced. Degraded Li's are more likely to fail. Any swelling is a failure; power off and replace it asap.
[Google Pixel 8] Lillo85:
Sorry for my bad English! I had a similar problem a while ago. After 1 month of use, I do a couple of refills and I get an estimate of only 90% with Accubattery (from 100%). So I do a full discharge of the battery from 100% to 0% (waiting for the smartphone to turn off completely on its own). So I do a full charge from 0% to 100% and only unplug the phone when Accubattery says it's not charging (and not when I see 100% on the screen). Now the problem seems to have been solved. I probably recalibrated the battery.
[Google Pixel 8] tosho1:
If changing battery was simple I wouldn't sweat at all. But with this modern glued scrap the risk of damage is pretty high.
[Google Pixel 8] tosho1:
I tried this several times, but AccuBattery still complains that it hasn't seen a full charge yet.

I once left the phone and the AccuBattery on all the time while charging, but still...

Never had this problems with any other phone, yet.
[Google Pixel 8] blackhawk:
Leave a small local shop do it. My N10+ cost about $50 to have a shop do it.

Doesn't look that bad.

Google Pixel 8 Teardown Reveals A Simpler Way Of Removing The Battery, Fewer Screws To Disassemble Unit

The first Pixel 8 teardown has gone live mere hours after the official launch, showing that Google has made components easier to replace

www.google.com
[Google Pixel 8] blackhawk:
Accubattery may be sensing too low a voltage value for its listed capacity when fully charged. Possibly a damage or defective battery or charging circuit... or an Accubattery glitch.

If it's under warranty you could try that. Not sure what that would yield.

OK, i already removed the the locked alltel programs on the tf3d tab (ie: ringtones jukebox, get alltel games) and even went a step further by going into file explorer, windows folder and start menu folder and I deleted the bloatware programs that i never used (i dont need the ringtones program thanks to mp3 trimmer :D). I've deleted all of the files for it but there is one that i cant uninstall. Ive used various file programs like the windows file explorer, total commander, and resco and still cant delete the files. Is there any way for me to remove these programs?
[Touch Pro CDMA] chris347101:
how in the hell did you get this to work, Ive tired everything, and even tried installing the above posted program, but i cant get anything to work, know i cant even touch the program on the bottom right, it will just reload the TF3d then back to the home screen
[Touch Pro CDMA] cowboy66:
It was easy, download the program, install it, go into the install directory, delete the file called tweaks, restart the device and run the program, click on the program launcher tab on the bottom and remove any programs you don't want to show.

Thanks for the tip, worked like a charm!!
[Touch Pro CDMA] chris347101:
ok i got the stock alltel app unlocked and removed when i slide over to programs, but when i click on start, programs, how i remove or delete off my phone such as. " alltel shop", "games and more", get alltel nav", "get email", "get pocket express", " get started", "jet cet print 5", " messenger", Mp3 Trimmer".......... etc etc etc, im sure you get the idea of what im talking about

Thanks A Lot for your help so far

[Touch Pro CDMA] jrodizzkool01:
The way i deleted them was i went into file explorer then into the WINDOWS/Start Menu/Programs. Delete the programs that u dont want by pressing and holding the item until a menu pops up then select "delete". This takes away the programs u dont want from your programs menu. I went a step further and navigated back to the WINDOWS directory then searched for the filename of the program i didnt want (i e Ringtone jukebox) i then deleted those programs and they were completely removed from all of my phone menus.
[General Questions and Answers] AceTen21:
Hello all,

I have an original Peloton bike and have successfully loaded Nova Launcher on my Bike (Android 7).

I can play and use Apps Sling and Netflix, but cannot use YouTube TV. I have subscriptions to both YouTube TV and Peloton, but am looking to cancel the Peloton subscription and just use the bike with YouTube TV.

When I try and run the YouTube TV app I get the following message: App won’t run without Google Play Services which are not supported by your device.

Has anyone seen this before, or have a potential solution/fix?

Thank you!

Tried downloading different versions or YouTube TV or installing Google Play from apkmirror; didn’t help.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Don't get confused: Google Play Store and Google Play Services are totally different things, the Google Play Store does not rely on Google Play Services. They are two separate but interconnected components within the Android ecosystem:

FYI:

Google Play Services is a set of background services and libraries that are essential for many Android apps to function properly. It's not an app itself, but rather a collection of tools that developers can use to add features to their apps, such as:

Location-based services: Google Play Services helps apps determine your location, which is used for features like Google Maps, navigation, and weather updates.

Push notifications: Apps can use Google Play Services to send you notifications even when you're not actively using the app.

Authentication: Google Play Services allows you to sign in to apps using your Google account, which saves you from having to create separate accounts for each app.

Gaming services: Google Play Services provides features for games, such as leaderboards, achievements, and cloud saves.

Security: Google Play Services helps to keep your device and apps secure by checking for malware and other security threats.

Google Play Store is the app you use to browse, download, and install apps on your Android device. It's a standalone application that functions independently from Google Play Services.
[General Questions and Answers] mitzylplik:
I have done the same thing on the same version of Peloton Bike/Android(7), unfortunately after a few days of awesome peddling sessions of watching Spotify Joe Rogan Podcasts and the Peloton guided workouts simultaneously on split screen, some watchdog service/app updated from Peloton changed my system settings somewhere and now Nova launch does not remain selected as the default home app--it keeps re prompting to select home app, and it keeps closing NovaLauncher and relaunches the Peloton workout app anytime I do successfully punch an icon and launch other apps from the drawer list before it closes Nova Launcher....anybody know a way to change the android system app special access setting or some other hack and which specific apps to do it on in order to get this damn thing to behave like before Peloton scanned/updated the bike? I have an active subscription, so frustrating. All the stuff is still there, I had Skype, Spotify, Google Files, Netflix, Youtube, Chrome all successfully installed and working before those jerks borked it up with whatever patch, update they apply. This is my second go around, I've wiped it and reloaded Bike from scratch with a factory reset once and it lasts a few days and then does the same thing.
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] AHMN48:
Today surprisingly Motorola Moto X30 Pro updated to Android 14 with Jan, 2024 security patch

I tested almost 12 hours after update and these are changes:

1. Camera got better a lot

2. Faster speeds

3. New Font in whole system

4. New Notification center with new animation for toggle icons

5. MAXE is here with Battery saver - Normal and Turbo

6. Faster app opening

7. ne actions like automatic restart, automatic shutdown

and many mores

===================

but as far I can tell biggest concern is:

1. Moto Display is gone (AOD) and really basic Lockscreen replaced, this is not good as Moto Display (Personally I didn't like it)

and tell me your experience with Android 14 update

you should wait a bit, and do with RSA, Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant, you should go to Fastboot (Restart Phone and keep Volume Down unti Fastboot appears), then RSA start to Rescue based on your device firmware, when you have XT2241-1 it's Moto X30 Pro chinese, so RSA will download Android 14 and will install for you, but due Android 14 is new, it takes a few days until appearing in RSA

Hi everyone. Im looking for a COMPLETE firmware for the ONN 7 inch gen 3 ( 2022) Model TBGRY100071481 with chipset MT8168. all the firmware that ive got from here doesnt work.I am using SP FLASH TOOL because adb is not an option since its been bricked and i cant get into developer mode to enable adb debugging. Ive used a couple different versions of the Onn surf tablets firmware by adjusting the scatter files and using the preloader for the MT 8168 and even when the DOWNLOAD + FORMAT ALL is selected and completes the flash/formats and i get the okay its finished, im still left with a dead tablet. Ive even tried the TWRP 3.1.1.1 and TWRP 3.1.1.0 recovery images from this site and i still have nothing. I am no noob when it comes to modifying or flashing. Ive wiped/ formatted a couple of bricked xbox one's and done several pcs that were dead before successfully. this has to be because im getting the wrong firmware.

[Walmart Onn Tablets General] SnackMasterX:
Hello,

I'm not sure if it would help but I have a 3rd gen Surf 7. I can try to dump firmware for you if that would help. I work in enterprise IT right now but in context of tablet mods, I am a newb. I just need to know what tool will dump whatever you need and I can go do the necessary research.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] TheModifier310:
you have to use mtk client to extract the firmware or do dumps and have the device in developer mode and OEM unlock selected and you may have to have the mtk drivers downloaded for your PC but yes a full firmware dump would work
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] TheModifier310:
You have to have python installed, mtk client, usbdk, mtk drivers. and run commands in windows command prompt (cmd ) just watch the video
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] TheModifier310:
The reason you have to have to have mtk drivers for the tablet is because you have to have the preloader or the USB com port drivers recognized for mtk client to execute whether or not you use USB mediateck port or the mediatek preloader comport you have to have the mediatek drivers installed for the com ports and you'll probably have to go into settings after install and turn off driver signature verification in windows to install the drivers because they are old and didn't wanna install for me on windows 10. before you can dump you may have to press and hold vol up down and power to switch it from USB to preloader com port. that's what I have to do to get my PC to recognize the device because its completely bricked. its a bunch of stuff you gotta do but I appreciate you trying to help :)
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] SnackMasterX:
Thanks for all the details! I've got the tablet at work so I'll give this a try tomorrow and let you know how it goes. I think I've got enough good info here that I can dump the firmware for you.
