Is that policy applicable across all brands operating within the EU? If it does, it's pretty cool how the EU's looking out for consumers.

Yes, it applies to all brands that officially sell their products here.

I'm afraid no tool currently supports MT6886 "Dimensity 7200"
[Nothing Phone (2a)] mermaidkiller:
What steps did you do ?

I also have a brand new Nothing 2a and immediately after purchase, I unlocked the bootloader, updated to the latest ROM (2.5.4a) of which I downloaded the init_boot.img from Github and patched it by Magisk first and then flashed it onto the phone.

Success ! It rebooted normally and was rooted and everything worked.

Can you send me a link to the page from where you downloaded the boot file? And please tell me how to update phone after rooting

[Android Studio] NetSpeedZ:
I have an Android Studio project that includes a NumberPicker class. I have successfully created a NumberPicker that a user can enter a quantity in either an integer or decimal format. Everything works well except if a user enters in a decimal number based on a dropdown box of items, the total value of all items that have a quantity that was entered by a user is only calculating the integer part of the entry and not the fraction or decimal part of the number. Can't seem to get a decimal number to be part of the total calculation. I've included the 'Calculate()' method below in hopes someone can guide me to a fix. If you need other code to assist in fixing this issue, be happy to provide it. Any assistance would be appreciated.

private void calculate() {
int totalCoin = 0;
double val = 0.0d;
double troy = 0.0d;
double grams2 = 0.0d;
// int miscUSTotalCoins = 0;
// int miscCanadianTotalCoins = 0;

Iterator<Coin> it = this.coins.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
Coin c = it.next();
if (!c.getDescription().equals("Misc US Silver") && !c.getDescription().equals("Misc Canadian Silver")) {
totalCoin += c.getQuantity(); // Add quantity only if not misc silver
troy += c.getTotalTroyOunces(); // Include troy for all coins
grams2 += c.getTotalWeight(); // Include grams for all coins
val += c.getTotalValue(); // Include value for all coins
} else if (c.getDescription().equals("Misc US Silver")) {
// miscUSTotalCoins += c.getQuantity(); // Count misc US silver separately
troy += c.getTotalTroyOunces(); // Include misc US silver in troy
grams2 += c.getTotalWeight(); // Include misc US silver in grams
val += c.getTotalValue(); // Include misc US silver in value
} else if (c.getDescription().equals("Misc Canadian Silver")) {
// miscCanadianTotalCoins += c.getQuantity(); // Count misc Canadian silver separately
troy += c.getTotalTroyOunces(); // Include misc Canadian silver in troy
grams2 += c.getTotalWeight(); // Include misc Canadian silver in grams
val += c.getTotalValue(); // Include misc Canadian silver in value
}

[Touch HD General] hongkongtom:
Guys, I don't know if this annoys anyone, but it does annoys me.

When in conversation, the screen went blank to prevention hitting any keys accidentally, but when I tried to higher or lower the talking volume, the HTC volume adjusting screen would pop and since my ear would be sticking to the screen, so at the end of the day, I can't adjust the volume without taking the phone off my face and then adjust then tap the power button to turn off the screen and put it back to my face.

does anyone got annoyed by this and could anyone fix this?

thx

hi, i been trying to root my device and i followed all the tutorials i could find. the problem i get is when i put the magisk zip file in my downloads folder and i try to use twrp to install the image, the whole storage is sncrpyted and i cant navigate through my phone. eveytrhing has a folder name like "2n3uc7cudu8ehrhh" stuff like that and im unable to navigate to the download folder to install the image. and i dont have an sd card. i tried doing it through a usb flash drive plugged in through the micro usb but it didnt work because it didnt use the main storage as the install targer but it tried to use usb key as the install target. how can i decrypt my storage to root the device?

thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parrots_:
If you have a computer, you should be able to just sideload the Magisk ZIP via ADB.

You could also just patch the AP file via Magisk, and flash it in Odin.

i did all that except in root checker it says its not rooted. my phone gives the warning this phone is running unofficial firmware. but the whole storage is encrypted for some reason

Hi all, is this the right platform/thread to ask for methods to unlock?

We trade alot of used mobile phones. Whenever we got telco locked products, Usually, we just sell the devices as it is. As time passes, we now would want to acquire some unlocking tools ourself. But wanted to know what device/boxes/websites should we refer to? as an example, for today, we have 5 devices that needed unlocking

1. vivo x90 pro - there is an app from operator which blocks most of the functions of the phone. Can't enter menu, we can't even master reset it, as the options is grayed out. But the phone doesn't have any user locks, still can sign in to play store, can all in/out.

2. Sam Z fold4/oppo a78/reno7 z- Has an operator notification. The phone is not locked now, but we want to know how to unlock it, in case it gets locked in future.

3. Sam s21 ultra - SIM 1 was not detected, SIM2 works fine. Could the SIM1 be locked to telco?

Hello.

I already unlock the bootloader of my Nothing Phone 2a

But I can't root it patching the boot.img in magisk

Anyone have success rooting his Nothing Phone 2a?

If that's the case, can you explain how to do it please.

Thanks in advance.
[Nothing Phone (2a)] ccprcrack:
I would also love a step by step on how to unlock the bootloader, root the phone.

@Angrydr0id could you share how to unlocked the bootloader?
[Nothing Phone (2a)] pranayadmn:
You need to patch the init_boot image on devices launching with Android 13 and above. Hope it helps.
[Nothing Phone (2a)] Angrydr0id:
Thanks, you are right.
[Nothing Phone (2a)] Angrydr0id:
You shuld be good following any guide por Nothing Phone 1 or 2, its very easy.

Just remember to do a backup because a factory reset is necessary.
[Nothing Phone (2a)] BlackRazor97:
A little bit off-topic but, do you think we gonna see custom ROMs for 2a anytime soon? I fear that we may never actually see any custom ROMs due to the MediaTek SoC. If anyone has direct information from Nothing Corp. about buying and releasing the sources for Dimensity 7200 pro please let us know.
[Nothing Phone (2a)] theq86:
Well this is unfortunately not very consistent among Nothing phones. The Nothing Phone (2) shipped with Android 13 initially, but uses the boot image format from former Android versions with kernel+initrd being in /boot

If 2a comes with an init_boot it shows at least they noticed their mistake.
[Nothing Phone (2a)] pranayadmn:
that's because the soc's platform initially launched with android 12 in the case of sm8475. i should've mentioned the BSPs instead of the devices alone.

Hi, i have broken the connector of the lcd screen on the motherboard of my mio a701 , while not opening it correctly, so the plastic that press the lcd cable broke.

is there any way i can fix it? or improvize something that will press the cable on the motherboard contacts? or the motherboard is gone? it's sad because same breakage happend to me with my previous device, ppc 4100.

for anyone who tries to do that , you have to lift the lock above , not forward.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] NinetyRalph:
I don't know why but I can't flash twrp, when I do so, booting into system would boot into the recovery, making the phone unable to boot up.

Thanks to PixelBuilds who provide a boot.img file I was able to boot back, cause solutions online said I had to factory reset, but I still can't install the recovery, also, when I was on TWRP I noticed it shows internal storage as having 0mb, may be related, I don't really know :(
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] junglism93:
Hello mate,

Sounds like you are trying to flash the twrp.img directly. You have to flash the twrp installer zip to install twrp.img to ramdisk.

Then it will boot normally, hit up the twrp.me site for more info if needed.

All the best

My Microsoft Office calendar is not syncing. Despite that all my work events from Microsoft Office are synced and show up in the Google Calendar app in my phone (Pixel 8), the events do not show up in my watch. Only the events under my main Google account show up. This is very disappointing, especially because there is a separate section under the Ohealth app called "Sync Calendar Events" which apparently does work. I never had this problem with my Galaxy Watch 6 Pro.

Anyone else having the same problem or knows the solution ?

Yes same for me, Google workplace calendar is not syncing to watch despite showing on my phone and appearing in the Ohealth list of sync'd calendars. Hopefully ironed out in an update... Annoying

I have kind of left my Fold in Motion Photo mode but I am wondering if there's a quality difference between a "standard" picture and the "best" chosen by the algorithm from the series of shots that comprise the Motion Photo.

Since the phone/camera is jostling/jiggling as it shoots x number of frames does that lead to a loss of resolution/quality?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] psvillars:
I apologize if this has been posted or if this is the wrong place to post app requests but I had the thought one of the cool things about TF3D is that it allows everything to be accessed from the today screen. Weather, Music, Email. Everything except the scores from your favorite sports teams.

So here is my Idea how about a Sports Tab, much like the weather tab that can be customized with up to 3 of your favorite teams and sports with a icon representing the team and the score for the current game or start time for the next game along with current standing in their respective division.

Anyone else think this would enhance our devices even further than they are now.

Here's a very poor picture to give an idea of what I'm talking about. Sorry I suck at graphics ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Kraize:
I think someone should post a sticky on this. >.> There can't be tabs added unless you want to find the source code for manila. The only thing remotely possible was the calendar tab which was achieved by D-MAN666. I don't think this is possible. In fact, I don't think adding any other tab besides the stock tab is possible. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] psvillars:
Well being that he was able to create the calendar tab and of course create the idiamond interface maybe its possible since the weather tab is just a collection of icons and data imported from a website(at least i believe that's how the weather tab works) then maybe that can be rewritten to include the sports icons and import sports data instead of weather and if the individual sports teams are too much then use generic sports icons. Just a thought.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] daitienshi:
ooooh would love this!

+1
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Curb71:
+1 !

This would be my favorite tab ever. Or even if it couldnt be another tab maybe a program that does sports like the iPhone or Instink does...:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolvatveo:
The truth is that all applications are completely installable such as downgrading, different signatures, build number and target SDK, memory has reached 95%,... but are rejected by PM Install. How to edit PM Install and Can I install any app any way I want? There are many developers who know how to program an Android system but no one has helped make a patch to "fix" this. Hope I'm lucky, because I don't know anything about Android code so I need other developers. The only method is use Lucky Patcher and Patch to Android but no help, my services.jar has been odexed. And by the way I also want to find a way to deodex svc.jar and disable the screenshot blocking feature. I'm on Android 7 and none of the developers or patches worked for me.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Sheist!:
I often forget to remove my prepaid SIM card before changing custom ROMs. This becomes an issue since we do not have the access to prevent first or disable mobile data before it enters the initial install setup. The result: data mode is on and typically sync mode is default enabled. For prepaid SIMS, it burns data topup for no value. I remove the SIM first so no money is lost. Using wifi exclusively for mobile at home costs nothing. If I forget mobile data is enabled, it just sits there and wastes top-up. Also, remember to disable the setting for always keeping mobile data active even if on wifi, in developer's settings.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] SigmundDroid:
I'd say this applies to most if not all SIM cards and plans, not only prepaid. Was (almost) never a problem for me with installing but after resetting I run into it quite often :D

When I tried to install Uvite on two nothing phone (1)'s, both of them died. I flashed everything with the: Sh4ttered/Nothing_Phone_1_Tools and, it didn't have any errors. One of the phone was an 8GB ram model and the other one was a 12GB ram model, I have made a backup of the 8GB ram model, before the wipe. I wiped the device before flashing the rom to the 8GB ram device. I also have to mention, I got the 12GB ram model yesterday, so it was a fresh one. I have installed all the adb drivers first to a windows machine with the 15 secound ADB installer and I downloaded the rom from the original website. I checked hash for everything and everything was correct. I do not know what to do now, because neither phone replies to any button press or holds nor, does plugging the phones into the pc or power works.

Tried rooting soyes xs16 using MTKclient, but could not unlock bootloader ( volume up comfirmation does nothing ), so after flashing patched boot.img(magisk) it says red state - verify fail and does not boot, same for custom recovery, flashing original ones back made the phone work again, yay.

Found some tutorials for same processor "MT6737M " saying I should use SP flasher, so I did that

- flashed recovery and the phone does not boot anymore, just black screen - (there was an error saying something is wrong and I should format all, i did not format all, just recovery download)

tried flashing original recovery.img back with mtclient, - still black screen.

also tried flashing every single file using mtclient - still black screen.

also tried flashing every single file using SP flasher, but flasher did not want to flash because DRAM mismatch or something.

I gave up at this point

here's the list of files I backed up while the phone was still working:

can any of these files help me recover the phone from a brick?
