    Android Questions: bricked? stuck in boot loop

    Android Questions: bricked? stuck in boot loop


    bricked? stuck in boot loop

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 03:53 AM PST

    EDIT: reboot successful ! well almost.... still can't do the "hard" reboot or access recovery menu.

    Happy for now, appreciate the help !

    this is a little complicated, but may have simple solution....

    My LG V30 is stuck booting. Phone has bootloader unlocked, with no mods.

    • stock Oreo

    • unlocked through Magisk

    • TWRP installed

    • USB connection does nothing

    Phone acting weird, hard reset didn't work, was rebooting through TWRP and selected "Reboot - Bootloader".

    Asked to "Reset / Power off" - no other options, so selected "Power off".

    Now it cycles through the LG boot screen / bootloader lock warning / black screen.

    *a single horizontal line flicks right after one of the LG boot screens.

    I'm ashamed to say that I am technologically way behind where anyone my age should. That being said, is there a way/how do you change your app icons throughout the pages? Mine seem to be really scattered.

    When I swipe left from Homescreen I get random news articles, how do I customize?

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 03:25 AM PST

    I've got a Huawei phone.

    Is there a way to select the sources for the news articles, or to make it open another app when I swipe left?

    Preferably without having to use a different launcher if possible, please

    Should I replace my Android phone running Android 6

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 07:25 AM PST

    Hello,

    I am currently thinking about replacing my old Android phone which is still running on Android 6. It's not about the hardware which is still running good and without any issues. But I am thinking that Android 6 won't be supported by app devs soon and the last security patch was a long time ago. The phone model btw is Honor 7.

    My Moto X4 is randomly crashing but only 50% of the time. I can't figure out what's wrong.

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 04:33 AM PST

    before you say to go to the moto x4 sub, already posted there and on the official moto x4 forums


    since Feb 28th my x4 is randomly crashing, self-rebooting, refusing to power on for 5 + min, and sometimes when it finally does turn on it never gets past the "phone is starting" screen.

    when it does "work" random apps will start crashing randomly including but especially ones that aren't even open. when I try to open emails or messages it crashes the app or just reopens it.

    I already ran mban on it and found nothing.

    I have contacted FI support for warranty inquiry but before I turn over a phone that was working perfectly until a few days ago, I want to try to fix this.

    anyone have any clues as to what's wrong?

    and no, I haven't installed anything new in the past 2 weeks other than mban, nothing is sideloaded. completely stock OTA.


    Phone: Moto X4 32GB Storage /3GB RAM

    OS: Pie (9) Android One

    Carrier: Google Fi

    My phone factory reset on its own

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 07:03 AM PST

    I turned off my Mi A2 Lite for 10 minutes and when I turned it on again I was greeted by a longer than usual boot. When that finished it told me to set up my phone. I was actually excited because I expected that it was just installing the Android 10 but when I looked in the settings and I am still on Android 9. Any idea what happened? My phone ran without issue until this. I never rooted it or did anything to it that could damage it except I do have a habit of turning off my phone when I'm not using. Could that have damage the bootloader? Is there any record of a virus doing this or something similar? I was very careful in that regard. I never downloaded anything which wasn't from a trusted brand and was very careful about clicking links. Another possibility is remote reset. I don't think it could have been done through my Google account because there were no new logins or devices on it and it happened only after I turned the phone off. Find My Phone was device admin though although I think I disabled the feature. Could my TSP done something like that? What should I do now? Can I even use my phone without fear of some malicious actor? Please help me figure this out.

    This dog followed me home (lock screen changed to dog photo)

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 12:33 PM PST

    I visited a YouTube channel that features a Pomeranian. Next thing I know, there's a pom on my lockscreen. It seems to be a screenshot from the video. Maybe. I'm not sure. I went into my settings and selected a standard wallpaper for both lock screen and home screen. Dog is still here. I love dogs but don't want a strange dog following me home. What to do?

    Has anyone else had this happen? It seems benign but concerns me.

    Best note-taking apps for Amazon Fire 10?

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 11:52 AM PST

    So I've had the 2017 version of the Amazon Fire 10 for nearly a year now and I haven't used it that much, but I want to use it more for Sixth Form College as I am taking a Level 2 course.

    I would like to know if there is any Android note-taking app that can integrate well with the Google Suite of apps (Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Slides, and Google Sheets), as these types of apps are the ones I am familiar with due to my education.

    Thank you.

    Samuel.

    Backup not working from Oneplus6t to temporary Samsung a3, will my backup be overwritten?

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 10:36 AM PST

    So my phone got stolen a few nights ago (pickpockets in London yay!), and I'm planning to use an older phone for the time being whilst I wait for the Oneplus 8 to come out.

    My issue is that the backup that I have on google drive from the 6t, I know it's there as I am looking at the file on browser, is not being detected at all when I try to set up the Samsung. I suspect that it's because of the differences in android versions but I can park that for the moment. I want to know whether my previous back up for the oneplus will be deleted if I continue to set up this Samsung in its place with the same google account. Any help greatly appreciated!

    p.s. I was in London for Dropkick Murphy's, its put a bit of a downer on an otherwise sick night, fecking teeves.

    Help With Passwords

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 10:31 AM PST

    I recently purchased my first Android device, a Note 10. On iOS the software had a password system that was pretty awesome. Login to apps or web pages and it saves your info.

    I'm looking for a way to do that on Android. I've tried the Samsung Pass but I have to use Samsung browser. Also, it won't allow me to manually input login/password info. I need something that will auto fill passwords for apps AND webpages. I'm still learning the ins and outs of Android so I apologize if this doesn't make sense.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Wrong country in Play Store

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 10:16 AM PST

    I've recently come across a problem with my Samsung Galaxy A40. In the Play Store it says I'm from Romania, even though I don't live there or have never been there (I'm from Belgium). Any idea why that is? The Play Store doesn't give me the option to change the country. How can I fix this? Any help is appreciated a lot!

    Currently an iPhone user about to switch to Android. I heard about this app called AirMessage I can use so I can still text people as if I were still on Apple... (in description)

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 03:15 PM PST

    There's something I don't understand about it though: can I use this as a secondary app maybe for Apple group chats while having another primary texting app for everything else? Or would AirMessage become the primary app?

    Thanks so much. Let me know if you don't understand because sometimes I'm not great at explaining things.

    Restore Nokia 7.1 Backup to Samsung A51

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 09:22 AM PST

    Hi

    I'm looking to change phones from a Nokia 7.1 running Android 10 to the Samsung A51 which runs an OS I believe based on Android 10

    I've performed a backup to Google drive

    Is there anything else I need to do to keep my data like contacts, photos, messages? Is WhatsApp data included in the backup?

    Many thanks

    Since this morning multiple apps keep crashing on my Samsung A8. Does anybody know why this happens or how to fix it?

    Tried clearing cache and data of 1 app but it still keeps crashing. Restarted my phone as well. Tried downloading an antivirus scanner but even that one kept crashing.

    Fastboot OEM unlock returns "Failed -unknown command- 0.004s"

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 08:57 AM PST

    I want to unlock the bootloader on my Alcatel 3 (2019) but after ADB reboot bootloader, all fastboot commands return unknown command. Fastboot devices does give me my device serial number and it is recognised.

    Edit

    Can I just explain that im not even sure if the bootloader can even be unlocked, but I have no reason to suspect it can't (it is project treble compatible)

    Accidentally downloaded a random APK file

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 08:50 AM PST

    As per title, I had accidentally downloaded an APK file via chrome while I was browsing through some sites. After a pop out from chrome asking me where to save the downloaded file I immediately clicked cancel and went into "downloads" from chrome to see what have I downloaded. It was an APK file with 2mb in size, I clicked cancel right away when the download bar is full and right now I was wondering is the APK gone for good or did I actually downloaded it? I clearly didn't install the said APK file, but somehow I still afraid I might got a malware or virus, should I be concern about it?

    Google Messages for Web marking notifications as read automatically

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 08:04 AM PST

    So for the past two days I have noticed that when I keep Messages for the web open on my computer it will often mark new notifications as read almost instantly causing me to miss them as the notification then vanishes from my phone as well. I just upgraded to a Galaxy S20 so maybe it is related to that but this seems more like an app issue. I did a clean install on my S20 FWIW.

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    Assurance Wireless/L51 Phone No Mobile Data

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 03:44 AM PST

    I recieved a government phone and went into the settings to find out what brand it is so I could get help trouble shooting it. All it displays is L51 as the phone type. I have no idea what an L51 is or who makes it or what brand that is, but it's the generic rectangular phone they've given to every other person here in the midwest. The first day I powered it up I had 3 GB of data and I used a tiny bit listening to Pandora. Suddenly I have no mobile data. I've tried messing with the APN settings and inputting the Sprint settings since this is run by Virgin Mobile who is using Sprint's network. I've been resetting, reconfiguring, deleting, and trying every fix out there but I have NO DATA. What do I do? Do I have to call them?

    Can I Replace JUST the Front Glass of an LG G7?

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 07:26 AM PST

    I'm buying a G7 later today that has a cracked screen. The display itself seems fine (I'm going to check the phone for functionality before purchase), so I don't want to replace that. Can I just replace the glass, and can someone link me to a verified, cheap-ish replacement?

    Thank you in advance!!!

    Top portion of screen not responding accordingly.

    Posted: 04 Mar 2020 07:02 AM PST

    Hi, guys.

    So I'm having a bit of trouble, whereby I can't pull down my notification bar, while my phone is unlocked. So I turned on the pointer location under developer tools, to test if the phone was detecting my inputs at the top portion of the screen.

    It turns out that the phone can detect my finger, but it seems to be detecting it in the wrong place. If I place my finger as high up on the screen as possible and move it left & right, the pointer location only shows at about 1cm below the very top of the screen, which is lower down than where my finger is touching the screen.

    I've uploaded a screen capture to Imgur of the results, because my options to upload pictures on Reddit is greyed out, which I've posted the link below.

    Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this issue?

    My phone model: Doogee Mix Lite Android OS version: 7.0

    Sorry if my post is a bit long winded, I just wanted to be as descriptive as possible.

    Thanks in advance.
