[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radulfr:
It's not exactly a clean solution but I've started using syncthing on my laptop, phone and desktop and I've got several shared folders and one of them is just .txt notes that I can open and edit and it gets synced with all devices within a couple mins and since its just txt files it doesn't use a ton of data. Syncthing is open source and you can use whatever txt editors you want. On laptop/desktop I use notepad++ and on my phone I have mix plorer file explorer and it comes with a basic txt editor
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bialyikar:
I need something that supports graphics (photos) and possibly simple text formatting. And most importantly, the ability to transfer notes from Google Keep to the new application.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radulfr:
Syncthing would move all files not just text files if that helps. As for importing from keep I'm not sure anything has that ability.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radulfr:
After googling for a bit I think evernote is decent alternative though it can't import from keep
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
just out of curiosity:

Did anybody manage it to boot the ASUS Zenfone 8 into edl mode usng the physical buttons?

AFAIK It should boot into the edl mode using this approach:

1. Power Off the phone in the bootloader menu and wait until it's really powered off

2. Disconnect the USB cable

3. Press VolumeUp and VolumeDown at the same time

4. Keep the buttons pressed and connect the USB cable

The phone should now be in the edl mode but it is not - it is in a obscure mode:

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] WifiSquid:
My brother installed Lineage OS on my Oneplus 7T a year or two ago. I didn't like it so I installed a Oneplus 7T Fastboot ROM and "platform tools" for Oxygen OS. I think it was OOS 11. I have never done this before but anyways, I installed qualcomm drivers and then I flashed the device in fastboot mode. It has still got LineageOS and it just keeps loading forever, last night it went for almost 1-2 hours I believe. Now it won't even get detected by "adb devices" command, only by fastboot devices command. Maybe I have to unlock it first but I can't since it loads forever. I tried using msm tool but it won't detect my device. I really need help. Thank you!

I have the T-Mobile USA variant of the s21 ultra. I just got the notification for the new OneUI 6.1 update. I do not want to update due to all the posts and articles about users phone not working properly after this update.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] runningtortoise:
Poco F3 using Google Phone app.

Last year I bought a new number under my name so my mom can use it. Just a regular number she doesnt spam call or do anything suspicious. Since last week her calls to me have been blocked. On her end it says "the number you're calling is busy", on my phone it's a blocked call. I've never reported/blocked her number but I tried blocking then unblocking a few times - doesn't work. I've made sure DND is not on. Both she & I can call/receive calls from other numbers just fine.

I've called our service provider to check if there's any blocking on their records - there's none.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] TechnoSparks:
In Google Phone settings, check if "Caller ID and Spam" > "Filter spam calls" is disabled.

If that didn't work, try setting an alternative dialer/phone app as default. This one is not ridden with ads or useless features: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.dialer

To change the default phone app head to the phone Settings and search for "Default apps". Or just open the new app - it should prompt you to change default Phone app.

After changing the phone app, if you can receive the call from your aforementioned ghost-banned number, then it could be concluded that it is on Google for tagging the number as spam. If that is the case I am not sure how to resolve this problem.

If the problem still persists though, I recommend trying turning off VoLTE and VoWifi just to narrow down the problem. Not that i could offer a solution though :(
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] runningtortoise:
@TechnoSparks Thank you so much for your help.

I spent another night wrestling with it, trying both your suggestions & whatever my service provider could come up with. In the end it was a random call app amongst dozens I tried that comes with its own Contact companion app that solved it for me. I uninstalled updates, cleared all data on Google's Contact & it works fine now.

[Google Pixel tablet] chrisnewton:
So I have a pixel tablet and the dock is assigned to the bedroom, so when the tablet is in the dock and I say “turn the light on” it turns on just the bedroom light as expected.

I have now purchased a second pixel tablet without the dock. Set it up, and when I put it in dock it asked me to set up dock mode, which I did and worked fine, it shows as being docked etc and all good. However when I say turn on the bedroom light it now turns on all of my lights in the house. Its acting as it does not know what room its in, even thought its sat on the dock that’s assigned to the bedroom and showing as such. When I take the tablet out and put the original one back in it works as it should.

I have tried factory resetting the new tablet 3 times and doing a new set up and still the same thing is happening.

Any one have any idea how I can get the new tablet to act like the original when in the dock?
[Asus ROG Phone 8 / 8 Pro] Major_Tom:
Hi,

I got my ROG Phone 8 mid April and was very curious to see how it would compete against my older Blackshark 4.

The fun lasted only 3 mere weeks - one day I switched it off and it didn't came on again. No combination of buttons could bring it back to life. It wouldn't charge (didn't draw any current) and wouldn't show up in device manager after connecting to a computer.

Someone around here with a similar experience?

It's currently back at ASUS for repair/replacement, let's see how long it takes...

[Asus ROG Phone 8 / 8 Pro] jeison110:
In my case, if it turns on but it stays spinning, it turns on and off, if I can enter recovery mode and fastboot I also did a factory reset and it didn't work, I have the images to put on the computer but I don't know how to do it because It is a very recent model
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Naitsab243:
Hello Everyone,

almost 2 years ago i tried locking the bootloader of my OP 8 Pro again after unlocking it. After doing that however, the Phone is no longer able to boot and all attempts to install android have failed.

The current status is, that the bootloader is unlocked, by default it boots into fastboot mode and i can access the recovery (TWRP 3.6.1_11-infectedb11). I am now returning to trying to fix this phone cause i would like to have a spare second phone to take on vacation with me so i dont lose my main one if its stolen or otherwise.

My main question now is, are there ways i can try to fix the phone and get it working again? Bootloader doesnt need to be locked, i just want a working version of android on it again, can also be a custom rom.

If there is any more information needed to give a definitive answer i can try to provide it.

In any case, thanks for the assistance.

Edit:

Turns out all it needed was to be rebooted into EDL mode once. Was following a guide using the MSM Tool for a full factory reset and after putting it into EDL Mode it just booted into the Android I tried putting on it 2 years ago. 😑

Run new flasher as an admin and flash.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planeboy:
Hi. Since I have not posted any thing so I decided to post this.

How does this string called

.androidboot.mode= work? Does Aboot control this? Is this responsible for changing the boot mode when you press the volume buttons?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
I don't know.

The command line for the kernel is visible here:

# cat /proc/cmdline

It is a compilation of values set by the aboot/abl and values hard-coded in the Android image header.

androidboot.~ is used as a prefix for random Android kernel settings.

androidboot.baseband=
androidboot.bootdevice=
androidboot.console=
androidboot.dtb_idx=
androidboot.hardware=
androidboot.keymaster=
androidboot.serialno=
androidboot.verifiedbootstate=
androidboot.veritymode=
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planeboy:
So any of these kernel strings could do anything, but unfortunately, I am just an amateur at Android boot code and only know the .mode= and .verifiedbootstate= string.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
The aboot is customized by the OEM however they like.

If you do a reboot while dancing it could set androidboot.wasdancing

The kernel could then behave differently somehow.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planeboy:
I wonder that typing adb reboot recovery or pressing the volume up and power keys on my device changes the mode string to this:

androidboot.mode=recovery
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
Well, going into recovery can do a few things.

By the time it has put together a command line it has already selected an Android image to run.

In the past the normal system and recovery were always two separate images.

So you hardly needed to tell the recovery image that the mode is recovery.

Going to recovery might also be caused by boot-recovery in the /misc partition.

That also takes a command 32 bytes later which could be to wipe the device or factory reboot.

[Poco F5 Pro / Redmi K60 (China)] rradek01:
I have POCO F5 PRO in the global version, I don't want to upload EU, so I will thank you for such posts.

What's the point?

Since the purchase, I have only had one update and that was immediately after turning on the phone, so I currently have version 14.0.5.0(TMNMIXM)

It didn't bother me because the phone works fast and has no problems, but it already has Android 14 and Hyper OS so I would like to update it.

I changed the region to the United States, now I have Switzerland and it does not detect any updates.

When manually downloading firmware recovery from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/ and trying to update via the built-in xiaomi app, the error "This stable ROM cannot be flashed" occurs.

So my question is how to update this phone?

Or maybe I'm downloading the wrong firmware?
[Poco F5 Pro / Redmi K60 (China)] NOSS8:
Your rom dates from 2023-08-04, a little late to receive the updates and the next one is V14.0.6.0.TMNMIXM, forcing an update can create a bootloop and with the bootloader locked it will pay for get your phone back.
[Poco F5 Pro / Redmi K60 (China)] rradek01:
Is it true that unlocking the bootloader voids the Xiaomi warranty?
[Poco F5 Pro / Redmi K60 (China)] NOSS8:
Nope, if you use the official tool.

Apply for unlocking Mi devices

then you can flash HyperOS and lock the bootloader or not.

Hi, I want to flash my xz2, but have to know if will I loose any feature in third party video app mcpro24fps?

Most importantly, will I loose 10bit 4k hdr capabilitie? This setting only activates when in 24fps 3264x2448 GPU off and when turn to 10bit it crops in I'm good to go. Better quality than stock 4khdr with manual control. Picture looks much more natural then non hdr which seems auto Sharpened.

Is there any chance that I lose that setting?

1. thank you so much for all that work

2. question 1 : i have lineageos 20, i saw i can update to latest los 20 version as i think maybe few months ago ; but : could i just "flash" the device with lienageos21 without losing everything, eg my encrypted apps, eg signal, telegram etc, if i flash it "like that"? is it possible?

3. question 2 : i saw that xperia X II and XA II were both camera compatible with postmarketos ; what about xperia xz2?

thank you!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dtrunk90:
Yes, you can dirty flash without wiping data, but having a backup is recommended. Simply follow the upgrade instructions here.

I don't know if XZ2 is camera compatible with postmarketOS.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dtrunk90:
I can't tell which camera features exactly you'll lose but you definitely will lose some quality.

Thank you. I know photo quality will suffer since Sony's BIONZ algorithms are no longer in use. But it's not for my taste anyway. I only care about this specific video setting, since quality is quite astounding for 6 year old phone.
