Forgive me as it has been quite a few years since I've worked with Android devices.
We have some Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Pro 10.1" tablets that are having NFC issues after the update to Android 11. I've done some research and it seems this is a "known" issue yet there does not seem to be a fix, other that flashing Android 9 or 10. Basically there is a program we use for clocking in and out with NFC cards and the devices are enrolled in Intune. When the devices are not in Kiosk mode everything works fine, but when they are in Kiosk mode the NFC only works until the tablet goes to sleep. Once the tablet is woken up the NFC no longer works until we take it out of Kiosk mode. So if anyone knows a fix for this, that would be great, otherwise I was hoping someone knows where I can get the stock Samsung ROM and flash it back to 9 or 10. Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone,
I own a Huawei Watch and had a OnePlus One for about a year. Installed system was Cyanogenmod 12.1. Everything worked fine but I wanted a new phone so I sold it and bought a Moto X yesterday. The first thing I did, as usual, was to set up the system. A problem with pairing to my Wearable came up, several times I tried to pair and finaly it worked. The watch set up and I wanted to install a few apps through the android wear app. But then the bluetooth connection dropped suddenly.
Switching off bluetooth and on didn't solve the problem. so I had to restart the phone. after that the connection worked.....for approx. 5 min.....then it drops.
On the internet I read much about bluetooth problems on Moto X devices all over the world.
So, I have to retour the device to the shop where I bought it. I need another device, the OnePlus X is a really sexy looking thing, so please help me. How is the connection on that device? Can anybody tell something about that issue, maybe flashing of cyanogenmod helps?
thx
Nobody cm on that device?
Hi,
I was having bluetooth problem (drop, disconnecting) with my previous phone (THL2015).
I bought the OPX and i have no more bluetooth problem (with stock rom and now with CM 12.1)
It work very well with CM 12.1 (very fast and smooth) and the OPX has a nice design (so sexy )

Thanks mate
Hello, when projecting anything from my phone to Samsung Smart TV, only the upper half of the screen is rendered correctly. The lower half is scrambled/green , pixelated and full of artifacts, no matter the phone is in portrait or landscape.
My Smart TV is flawless with Mate 7, Samsung Tab S 10.5 or Asus Zenfone 6 when using Mirror Share.
Previously on Marshmallow 6.0 MirrorShare worked without problems with my Huawei P9plus .
On my friend's Huawei P9plus, identical with mine and with similar Samsung smart TV, the problem is absolutely the same.
Huawei, please fix this major problem as soon as possible.
My phone : VIE-L09C432B360, unrooted.
Have you found a solution to this? Mine does the same and I can't find a similar topic anywhere else. It's very annoying as worked perfectly before
I hope Huawei read this forum and make things working properly. Don't try to mess your phone/root/reset , at least I don't. If Huawei want to be number three, two or the best brand in smartphone industry they must read and solve customers complaints. Sadly, every brand have some (major) flaws, for me Huawei is the best compromise. Until...
PS: I had a problem with mirror sharing (Huawei Mate 7, veeery slow speed, almost unusable ) in the past but it was resolved after the last update and now it works okay .
Huawei, please do your homework properly to be number one !
Easy come, easy go and upset clients sometimes don't come back.
Mine is VIE-L29C636B370 currently.
Tried on my Samsung (Smart)TV for MirrorShare feature and does not seem to have issues.
There's around half second to one second delay in pushing the display to the TV though. "Seemingly" slower than before update (because I never really measured the time previously).
Then is a bug for single sim international version VIE-L09C432B360. Before Nougat, on Marshmallow my P9plus mirror share function was without issues(I used it frequently) . Now I have to use my Samsung Tab S 10.5 tablet for mirror sharing so please Huawei do your homework and respect your clients, I paid 700 Euros last year in July for your product.
After last update to android 7 my mirrorShare feature is casting the screen to a samsung tv with half of the screen is totally green . Before the update everything was working fine.
I search the case and found many people asking the same question with no answers yet. Any Help ?
Sadly after yesterday's update to B370 (from B360) mirror share is the same, flawed with half screen bug.
Huawei, please fix this major problem, please !
+1
Discover the same bug in my p9 B386
Actually hostpot (wifi share) don't work

Any resolution guyz ?
Huawei don't care about us. Probably this is my last new, full price Huawei "flagship" smartphone.
Same problem on an Honor 8 with Android 7
+1 P9 B386
I wonder if this problem exist on P10/plus, Mate 9 or other newer Huawei phones.
Updated to B376 today (OTA) but the bug still here.
Probably my next phone will be another brand, Sony Xperia or...
I've got a P9 and a Mediapad M3 and only shows to top of the screen as well while connecting to Samsung tv. A Galaxy Tab3 doesn't have this problem.
Same problem with my huawei P9, running B391 firmware!

same prob in vie-l29c185b390 march
well done huawei ...................................................
I thought I was the only one with this kind of issue. It's really annoying because I always use mirrorsharing! I went back to were I bought it since I thought that the problem was the unit. They changed it with a brand new phone but the mirroshare still won't work!
Hello,
I'm a fairly novice phone user that is currently using the Samsung Galaxy J8 and I'm looking to upgrade, I love the Pixel software and camera but I prefer the design of other phones and their hardware.
I'm currently looking at the Redmi K20 (not pro) and Samsung Galaxy A70 as my main options with the Google Pixel 3 and 3a as my 'last resort' for lack of better words.
I was wondering if the process of downloading and installing Lineage OS differs between devices and, since it wipes data, if it is safer (or even possible, like I said, I'm not very knowledgeable about phones) to get Lineage OS on the phone before I put my sim card in.
I will also be putting on the Google Camera APK and I believe I've seen a video where the OnePlus 7 Pro was using a GCam not specifically made for it which led me to wonder how you are supposed to know which GCam is best for you, of course I will download the one specifically made for my phone but do I go through every other option until I find the best one too?
If I do put on Lineage OS which apps stay and which get removed/added? Will it affect the stock camera app?
Also, is it possible to get Google's 'Now Playing' feature on any Android phone?
Sorry if I have broken any rules or done something wrong, I'm new to this site but would like to be on here more often, thanks in advance.
Hi All,
I'm an engineer looking to upgrade a product which uses an old Altel smartphone. I'm experienced in Unlocking and flashing. I have already done a search, but now in 2020, there may be new info.
Looking for suggestions for the best CHEAP android phone which has good custom ROM support for android 7+ (ish).
I need to use the back camera, and connect via wifi, bluetooth, or Cellular Data. It will be tested in the US, but may benefit from support for many globally common 3g and 4g bands.
One last thing. Would love to find something I can still buy a few dozen of NEW, or at least MFG REFURB.
Can anyone suggest suitable phones? So far, been considering late nexus line and early pixel line, knowing they're flash unlockable.
Thank you for reading! Apologies if I hit the wrong section of the forum.

There are no *NEW* cheap phones that have custom ROM support unfortunately. But used phone are an option : ) If you want official ROM support (Even to this day!), you can get a Samsung Galaxy S4 for 50$, an S5, Note 3 (Android 9 - 10 support!).
If you want a used phone at 100-150$, you can get a A5 2017, Google Pixel 1, Nexus 6 (Don't buy the 6p)
If you want to get a Brand new phone: Moto G7 and G6 Plus (200-250$). (Theese phones have a more complicated process of modding)
You can check the Lineage OS download Page here: https://download.lineageos.org/ Theese are all of the supported devices.
If you don't want to have any difficulties, you can get a Samsung but be careful with the variants! Get the international or Canadian variant because if you get a US variant, there are no methods of unlocking the device (except for the S5 and less) You can also get the Google Pixel, but do not buy the US variant. Same for the nexus devices...
Your knowledge and help are much appreciated.
Can you offer advice on USB OTG Compatibility with various phones on Lineage? I've had mixed results in the past with stock ROMs.

All of the phones I mentioned have OTG capability
Probably almost all phone supported by lineage have OTG. Don't worry about that.

I have 2 Samsung Galaxy S3 ( circa 2012 ) and while they are far from new, they are great phones to play around with.
I am far from experienced, but I have enjoyed flashing Custom ROM's , from CyanogenMod, thru various versions of Lineage, and now CrDroid. The newest O/S that I flashed is CrDroid 3.8.9 ( based on Android 7.1.2 - I think! ). Runs great. Stable. Long battery life. Ran ( 'right out of the box' ) without any need to install Gapps.
The nice thing is the Samsung Galaxy S3 is so darn abundant. Seems that everybody has one collecting dust in a drawer. And that means they are cheap ( as in give it away ). All the Samsung Galaxy S3 came with unlocked bootloader ( I think that is the term ) except for the Verizon model.
Icing on the cake is, a fellow from Montreal, alexenferman, is the genious authour of the CrDroid Custom ROM.
Thankful for the DEVs here! Needed root for TOS (Spy) app for my son's phone... My Note 8 screen busted, so when I upgraded to a Note 9, I fixed the screen and replaced his old LG Stylo3+ w/the Note 8. (Full Disclosure - my son knows and agrees w/spy app on his phone as a condition for his having one) After a few days of using instructions from this site, was able to downgrade to NOUGAT ROM, and root the Snapdragon Note 8. Yeah! The TOS app isn't working 100%, but requires a reset of phone every day which is annoying. Also Life360 doesn't work on the ROM, tried various versions to no avail, ended up using Google Maps Follow. And of course the 80% battery bug sucks. But all acceptable for now and thankful it works at all.
Is there any improved root/version now for Oreo or Pie and the Snapdragon version of the Note 8? Or if I get another phone, is there an optimum mid-price phone that is most easy to root and work with and most stable? Does the OnePlus 7T fit that description? Even if it comes with Android 10?
