[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] xlcazale:
Hi folks,

I've been using my redmi 2 1GB for 2 years now.

I have tried countless roms from MIUI kk, LP to CM / AOSP based (LP, MM, N), all the way to 64 Bit LP MIUI8.

I gave up on MIUI ROMs as all the ones I've tried resulted in bluetooth disconnections in my car so I went the custom ROM way.

In most cases, when the phone is freshly setup, it seems really nice and smooth.

However, after just a couple days, I start to see some intermittent serious lag / freeze issues.

- I am not gaming. I simply do emails, text messages, and light browsing.

- the issue happens very often when coming out of idle (turn screen on to send a text message for example)

- I have regular cases of calls coming in and won't be able to unlock home screen untill it's too late

- I either use Google Now launcher or Pixel launcher.

I usually go with the kernel provided with the ROM.

I did try once some alternate settings (https://xdaforums.com/redmi-2/how-to/guide-advanced-interective-governer-t3378713)

=> to no avail...

I'm always back to the same issue.

I don't expect a 1GB RAM phone to be blazing fast. I am only looking for consistency in speed and good balance with battery life.

I am currently running Mokee 60.1 rom as I found that N based ROMs where making things worse (higher difference between max speed and lags made it feel worse).

I'm at the point where I'm considering changing phone: my wife has a Redmi 3s 2GB and I never experience this when I try it.

Anyone has faced (and solved) similar issues ?

Any idea of things I should test ?

Thanks for your help.
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] raymond_bqg:
I am not advertising any ROM...but use minimal ROM like lineage or caf-aosp though I don't know the result as I have 2gb RAM version.

U can also use some apps for tweaks like fstrim and zipalign and zram like tweaks with .You can find these tweaks or script with some apps or kernel.Though most of Roms are optimized

Try flashing the phone by fastboot method from scratch? Just a suggestion....
[LG G Flex 2] Bruice:
Hi guys,

I'm kinda new to this (actually it's my first ever thread opened on XDA), so basically the issue is with the main camera which only works intermittently after a minor update which I received on Lollipop.

Since then I tried to do the following steps to fix this issue:

1. Factory reset, clear cache everything (also removed the sd card since I read that some users had similar issues with the sd card)

2. Updated to MM 6.0.1 (I'm not sure if the ROM is an official one)

3. I ordered a new camera module from ebay which also works in the same way..

My question would be regarding the kernel, is it possible to update the kernel on this phone or use a custom kernel? or is there any other method which I could try to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance!
[LG G Flex 2] derSA7:
bootloader is lcoked so you cant change your kernel , have you tried flashing the update with kdz or delete all camera apps like snapchat and others
[LG G Flex 2] Bruice:
I tried deleting all apps which uses the camera and did not solve the problem...

Is there a guide how to flash the update with kdz?
[LG G Flex 2] derSA7:
https://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/general/guide-lg-g-flex-2-stock-firmware-to-t3037593
[LG G Flex 2] Bruice:
I tried to follow the guide but I could not find the DLL for it...I could only find the kdz file, I tried to extrat the kdz and managed to extract it to cab but further I wasn't able to extract the cab file.
[LG G Flex 2] derSA7:
why you want to extract the kdz file ?
[LG G Flex 2] Bruice:
So I tried to follow this step from the guide

1.1)	Download Both Stock Image & DLL File – Firmwares Here

but I could not find the dll file only the kdz, and for the lg flash tool I need to load a dll file as well as the kdz

10.	Select Manual Mode at the top

11.	Click The DLL Box and choose the DLL file from Above meant for your device

12.	Click the S/W box and select the firmware file with the .tot extension, Then Click OK when done.
[LG G Flex 2] derSA7:
use the kdz method then (tot is for att i think)

http://lgflashtool.com/
[LG G Flex 2] Bruice:
Thank you for that, I managed to flash my phone with kdz method and now I have android 5.0.1 on my phone, but unfortunately this did not solve the issue...the main camera is not recognized and when I take a picture with the front camera the picture gets flipped after it's taken....

Any other ideas which I could try?
[LG G Flex 2] derSA7:
maybe its the motherboard, check other threads about this maybe you will find something
[LG G Flex 2] shinobisoft:
Sounds to me like faulty camera hardware. Since factory reset, and restoring to factory KDZ didn't fix the issue then it's most likely hardware related.

I'm assuming that you are rooted. I see you've already removed all possible camera applications, but what about xposed-framework modules? Ignore the last question if not using xposed.
[LG G Flex 2] Bruice:
Hello, the phone is not rooted since my gf is using it and I did not find a reason why to root the phone for her...regarding the camera hardware, I ordered a brand new camera module of ebay and that one also did not work.

quoting myself;

https://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/help/lg-g-flex-2-camera-accessed-t3546904/post70957521#post70957521

I put some pressure on the part of the laser focus thing while opening the camera app, and it worked until I took my finger off, then it went black. I tried again, and again it was a success. The connector for the camera is right under that laser thing so it might just be due to bad connection of the camera connector, or the laser thing that has a bad connection inside.
[Android Head-Units] nyogtha:
I quite like the UI design of the Blaupunkt 945. It has good looking (IMO) radio and dab apps as well. I tried to google the apps in case someone had extracted them from their player but couldn't find anything.

What I did find, however, is the official download page for the unit, which includes rom updates. Upon unzipping the downloaded update file, there are several big img.lzo archives. While I managed to decompress the lzo-archives, I have no idea how to get a look inside the .img files. Does anyone have any ideas? The files can be downloaded here:

http://www.blaupunkt.com/en/nc/serv.../?uid=6609&tx_ddfservicedoku_pi1[view]=single

Latest firmware appears to be from 20th Feb 2017.

Hopefully it's possible to extract apps from these image-files.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
Most probably those img files are disk images. Are they named something like kernel.img, boot.img, misc.img, system.img, recovery.img?

Edit: The SD.zip is password protected. I assume that what you are trying to do is not entirely legal.
[Android Head-Units] nyogtha:
I agree, they are probably disk images, but I'm not sure which type. As for the password, it's in the readme that comes with the download, with a typo though ;)
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:

So yes: it is fairly easy to extract apks from this img file. That is: if you are on linux. For windows see here.
[Android Head-Units] nyogtha:
Sweet! I did try to mount it quickly in Linux earlier but didn't have time when it didn't want to mount with auto fs type. Did you just use mount with type set to ext4?
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
make some folder like "system" inside the folder where you "lzop"-ed the system.img.lzo and mount a loop device on it.

mkdir system
sudo mount -o loop system.img ./system

Then you can access it as a "read-only" folder.
[Android Head-Units] nyogtha:
Thanks :) Managed to mount it and copied the apks out. Wonder if they will run on anything else. I'll have a go tomorrow.
[Android Head-Units] nyogtha:
I think we need someone with an mtcb unit to try these. Or if possible recompile for sofia.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
I don't give you a high chance of success. To recompile you really need the source code, not something "decompiled" like done with apktool, jd-gui, dex2jar or the likes.

And just as important: As long as you don't know which radio chip and other hardware is used, you might be able to recompile but you will never be able to make it run on your hardware.

What you could try is to modify the look and feel (and RDS part) of the current Sofia radio app like Malaysk has done for the MTCB/MTCD units.
[Android Head-Units] nyogtha:
You're right. Sounds too complicated. If only the Klyde/Joying dab app was made by someone actually using dab... It works but it's VERY basic. No presets etc.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
And the DAB is different. The DAB apk is used in conjunction with a USB DAB-stick. There is no DAB hardware in the head-unit. It is more likely to get that one to work than the normal builtin radio. As long as the DAB apk can find its own USB stick it is OK (and it USB not Universal Serial Bus? ;))

Having said (typed) that: I would not try that road either.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] IsoNick:
I upgraded my SM-G930F from Marshmellow to Nougat today. With the upgrade, I got some of the native and annoying bloat Samsung apps on my phone again.

On my old software, I could use "Debloater by Gatesjunior" to disable those. I can't anymore. It can only read to apps/processes (see screenshot). Is there a new version or another way to block the native apps?

Right now, I wan't to get rid of "Samsung Calendar", "Galaxy Apps", "S Health" and "Samsung Pay". The rest I guess is still block from before the update.

Thanks.

[HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers] DerD4nnY:
Hey guys,

I am going to replace my old Z3 soon . I am looking for a new phone and found this U Ultra... but I got some question:

1) Comparing The U Ultra with other actual flagships... how would you rate the camera ? Is the P10 with 20 MP better ?

2) How is the brightness ? While watching videos on YT it seems it lacks some of the Brightness

3) What about the battery life ? More Size of Screen but same Battery Life as my Z3 ? How fast is the Phone going empty ?

Hope you guys can help me out a bit here :)
[HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers] sephstyler:
Hey mate, please remember, that your situation may vary, so I can only give my personal experiences.

1. I havent used the P10, but I came from a pixel xl and a HTC 10 before that. I feel it is on par with Pixel in most scenarios. One area it is poorer than Pixel is in fast action shots, the U wants to always use lower ISO, with a slightly higher shutter speed than the Pixel by default, rendering nicer photos with less noise IMO, but if the subject is moving fast, it cant quite get there. This can all be fixed in Pro mode. Where the U is much better than the Pixel is in absolutely low light, and in macro.

2. Brightness, well, if you boost it to max, it will burn your retinas like any other flagship basically. I dont think its weaker than most?

3. Batt life - this will be varied depending on usage/coverage of network, etc. For reference, my network is average (the joys of living in a big country with varied geography), i have 2 push email accounts, multiple push IMs going all day, location on, BT on all day (android wear). And I get 3.5 hours SOT with 12 hours standby typically. 50-60% brightness.

When I first got the device, I was in taiwan, with better coverage, and I was getting an extra hour of SOT and standby as a result.
[HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers] DerD4nnY:
1) so if you had the choose the P10 or the U Ultra ... which one would u get for normal hobby photographies ?

2) Well comparing to an S7 Edge, brigtness and colors seems a bit more dull than on the S7 ;)

3) Well the U Ultra got a bigger display and also an Extra Display... I have my Z3 here which has the same battery size .... so the U Ultra has to take a bit more energy ?

---

Well I have no chance here of testing that phone .... I like the Extra Display... I like the glossy look .... Only the camera being out dat much is quite a concern...
[HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers] StilsonCanyon:
I have not used the U Ultra or the P10, however I read this earlier today:

http://www.androidcentral.com/huawei-p10-screen-protector-oleophobic-coating

The P10 does not have an oleophobic coating on the glass under the plastic screen protector. Now that doesn't have any bearing on the camera, but I just wanted to bring it to your attention.
[HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers] profixit:
The selfie panoramic is amazing.

To be fair I haven't use the main camera much. Indoors around my room.

I think it's quick, good results from all modes.

Flash seems very bright. Noticed that straight away.

Only had the phone a few days and it's not my daily driver yet. Need nano sim.

[HTC Wings] A.Bagatov:
Hey everyone,

My Siemens Stereo BL Headset (BenQSiemens HHB-750) has buttons for "next/previous/stop/play". When I'm using Windows Media Player those buttons work. But when using TCPMP the buttons are not supported.. e.g. I press next track but nothing happens. When using the CorePlayer only "previous track" works. When using HTC Audio Manager (player) everything works. But I really want to use TCPMP. I think TCPMP is better than CorePlayer...

Is there a plugin for TCPMP or another solution for this problem?

Maybe the solution is a trick with the keyboard shortcuts...

Thanks

Happy New Year :cool:
[HTC Wings] A.Bagatov:
PUSH PUSH ..

the button
[HTC Wings] A.Bagatov:
so theres no plugin to get tcpmp work with a stereo bluetooth headset including buttons???

my guess is that TCPMP doesn't have support for the A2DP or whatever protocol it is that controls the buttons, and i don't think they plan on doing anything as there isn't support for TCPMP anymore

My missus's phone can only hear the caller on speaker phone.

A factory reset has not resolved this. Tried out the 'Earpiece' app and it is possible to change the music player to use the earpiece speaker, so it should not be a hardware problem.

Any ideas? Is it possible to do a harsher reset without tech skills?

It could be the hearing aid bug that affects some Fire Phones. The fix is to go to "Settings > Device > Manage accessibility" and turn Hearing Aid Mode on and off (if it's off) or off on off (if it's on). See [MENTION=5244216]ckreddy[/MENTION] post here.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Kujo82:
Hi all,

I had my phone back from the assistance yesterday. It had a problem on the display (blue light line).

They returned it updated to Nougat. But with a big problem:

It can't read any sd cards.

With my SD card it says it can't be read and suggest me to format it.

When I try I receive the error

command xx volume partition disk: xxx,yyy private' failed with '400 136 Command failed

The same SD card on another S7 is correctly read.

With another SD card (the one of that "other S7") my phone does not see anything. Like a SD card isn't inserted.

What can I do? I don't want to send it back to the assistance, last time they keep it for almost a month :(

Thanks!

[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
While I know there aren't a large number of Pixel owners considering jumping to the LG G6, I'm one who is open to it. I stumbled across this guy's comparison video to give me a good idea of exactly what the switch would look like for me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLfhhv5c0wI

Beneftis of the LG G6:

- That beautiful screen with very small bezels

- The (dual) cameras

- Wireless charging (why did this go away with recent Nexus/Pixel devices?)

- IP68 Water resistance

However, I don't understand why LG and Samsung still find it necessary to apply their own skins/software over what is already an excellent and fluid experience with pure Android. The reality is that this alone will likely end up being the deal breaker for me. Especially as I watch my wife's 2 month old Galaxy S7 lag like crazy under very simple tasks. :mad: If LG/Samsung got their heads out of their butts and figured out that if they kept their hands off the software, there wouldn't even be a need for the Nexus/Pixel lines.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] geoff5093:
I believe this is one of the great things about Android that brings in so many new features. If everyone ran stock Android, the only people thinking up new ideas would be Google themselves. However when you let Samsung, LG, HTC, etc. put their own twists on Android, the whole community gets to see new ideas that they never thought of before. Many of these are useless gimmicks, but others are incredibly useful. Just to name a few features that custom skins introduced that pure Android did not have at the time:

Quick toggles

Multi-window

Clear all recent apps

Double tap to wake

Always on display

Reset option in the power menu

Flashlight

Double tap home button / twist to launch camera

I'm sure there are tons more, but that's just the top of my head.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
I forgot about LG's implementation of Double Tap to Wake. I had that on my G4 and it was flawless. The same feature on my Google Pixel works maybe 50% of the time. I miss the G4 for that.

I just wish they could implement their own software without adding UI lag along with it. It seems to happen no matter how much faster the internal hardware gets on these phones. Maybe that will change with the G6. We shall see.
