[Android Auto General] invertedskull:
...does anyone know of a music app that will run in Android Auto, AND will allow full music library browsing (by artists, albums or genres) through the touchscreen interface? Voice alone is not cutting it due to a great many music artists use unique names that Google cannot recognise.

Google Play Music in AA will not let us browse artists, albums or genre through the touchscreen interface. We only get the "lucky" mix, recent activity or playlists. And playlists are really not useful for a couple reasons... Firstly, Google forces you to have 2 default playlists it thinks you will like, and then browsing playlists is limited to 11 (including the aforementioned 2, so really it's 9). Once you get to the 11th playlist you are blocked from scrolling further with a safety message. Super frustrating. So don't waste your time making more than 9 playlists!

I know doubleTwist says that you can browse by artists, but you get a similar safety message prohibiting you from scrolling further than 10 or so.

Any chance an awesome XDA dev has made of modified version of AA that will ignore these safety blocks? Or does anyone know of a music app that will give us full music library browsing through the touchscreen interface?
[Android Auto General] ireknole:
No, this is a safety feature baked into android auto. App developers cannot bypass it, they can only make their apps better designed to work with it.
[Android Auto General] invertedskull:
*sad face*
[Android Auto General] ireknole:
You can create "voice friendly" named playlists for those unique named artists and use voice to call up the playlists.

Has anyone seen any news on whether IR is back on S8? Ive seen nothing on it so im guessing its not been returned. Can anyone confirm either way?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] lynxblaine:
Nope, no IR blaster.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] richhaynes:
If they can include it on a small 4.3 inch device like the S4 mini then surely they can get one in the S8. Heres hoping they finally get one in the S9 :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] lynxblaine:
They removed it from S6 onwards due to lack of use, I wouldn't hold your breath unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mortuus82:
nah why would they do that? most people find this very handy.. howe come most other dont remove them only samsung? makes no sense....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] lynxblaine:
Samsung collect usage stats for their phones, likely it's due to the fact they saw out of all the phones sold it was used very little and costing them money.

A response from samsung regarding it.

I would like to point out I was wrong, my S6 Edge has an IR blaster, its S7 and Note 5 that did not have it, and S8 /S8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Seriously? Do we need two threads lamenting the demise of a feature that's controlling an also dying communication protocol? And no, the S8 doesn't have an IR blaster just like the Galaxy S6, Note5, S7, and Note7 didn't before it. Want an IR blaster? Buy another brand's phone. Einstein's definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome.

Here's the original thread...

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] richhaynes:
Apologies for a new thread but i used the search plus in the XDA app and it returned no results. I was asking a question rather than lamenting its disappearance. And as a Samsung phone user since the original Galaxy, i dont want another brand. I would just hope the extra phone size would allow its reintroduction as its clearly more used than Samsung thought. I still have my S4 Mini just to use as a TV remote (replaces 4 other remotes) and if the S8 had IR I could have gotten rid of that too. Anyway, since my question is answered and clearly people moan over this topic, can someone lock the thread from replies please? :)

[General Questions and Answers] Borat38:
I'm not sure if it's more appropriate to post here

or on the custom ROM forum itself, but here's my battery issue:

Issue: Abnormally fast battery drain. My battery would

be fully charged, and almost immediately start draining until

it'd show 1% within 2 hrs. Screen would be off mostly (normal

use).

Been on a custom ROM since January 2017 (crDroid) and have had no problems with it since,

except 3 days ago, when the problem first appeared.

Things that are ON: LTE data (or Wi-fi), Auto apps update on

Google Play Store (never been problematic before), Location,

Things that are OFF: Bluetooth, ScreenCast, Caffeine

When I check Battery in Settings, the numbers don't add up.

I'd have battery indicator at 70% for example, but Screen,

Android System, all other apps would add up to only 7%. So

that's a whopping 23% unaccounted for.

But here's the weird thing: it drains fast until 1%, then at 1%,

the phone is supposed to initiate automatic shutdown like it has before.

When this issue cropped up, the phone keeps going for about 6 hours

or so before shutdown is started. Checking Kernel Adiutor occasionally,

I'd see a much slower decrease in voltage which probably reflects

more accurately the power drawdown situation.

Things I've done:

-clear cache (both through File Explorer and TWRP Recovery)

-clear batterystats.bin

-calibrate battery after full charge/discharge (via Root Essentials,

which basically does the same thing as manually deleting batterystat.bin,

if I'm not mistaken)

-Resetting App Preferences via Setting/Battery

None of the above has worked. Any idea what might be wrong?

My device is a Zuk Z1, with a 4100mAh battery. It usually lasts me more

than a day on normal use, but as the attached pic shows, it's at 96%

yet without having used any apps yet, has only 2 hrs of juice left.

I've tried reflashing my ROM, wiping everything including formatting data

yet nothing has worked.

I'm a light user, as I don't play games or watch videos on my phone.

Neither do I use graphics-intensive apps. I haven't used processor-intensive apps

that require constant GPS (like Google Maps, Waze) since then.
[General Questions and Answers] Freewander10:
Have you tried flashing another ROM/going back to stock?
[General Questions and Answers] Borat38:
Not yet. Am going to try an AOSP-based ROM later.

I've been deleting apps piecemeal, but have faile to pinpoint the culprit.

I have almost come to the conclusion that it's the ROM that's problematic.

But if that were the case, why haven't I had the same problem since

when I first flashed this custom ROM months ago;

and why is the problem reappearing when that same ROM is re-flashed now?
[General Questions and Answers] Borat38:
OK, I've flashed 3 other ROMs: Citrus-CAF, NucleaROM and stock, and the problem persists.

By doing the above, I've crossed out the possibility of it being the ROM. Neither is it the battery

itself, because it would've shut down by itself at 1%, yet at 1% I can last 6 or 7 hours of light use.

Anyone out there have any idea?
[General Questions and Answers] WestCoastSunset:
If you get the same results, the battery is trashed. Is it aftermarket?
[General Questions and Answers] Borat38:
The battery? No, it's the factory original.
[General Questions and Answers] WestCoastSunset:
It would not be unusual for a battery to fail in a month or two. I've had that happen to a couple laptops where I work.
[General Questions and Answers] Borat38:
That would be pretty unusual for reputable companies. If ever it did happen in my case, perhaps it's a lemon batch.

Sadly, I bought this without warranty.

[NFC Hacking] weirder:
I'm trying to figure out how to make content from a NFC tag dynamic.

So for example: I give out a business card with embedded NFC chip. When scanned they should get my vcard details. Once I switch function / job / phone #, I'd like to update that so when they scan again, they get my new details.

Or maybe even change the way it behaves completely and show my current current location.

I presume I should set up something on a remote server with dedicated link per tag, returning the correct data. If at all possible also add default fall-back data on the tag.

Anyone have some ideas about how to go about doing this? Havent been able to find much useful info at the moment but there appear to be systems available that do just this so I'm thinking it might be possible.
[NFC Hacking] beejmeister:
I have an NFC embedded in my hand. When scanned it takes a person to a URL where I have the ability for them to "click" (with their finger) on certain buttons for my personal vcard or one of my business vcards... or my Facebook, Twitter, or LinkIn pages so that they can friend or follow me. Having your business card NFC tag do the same allows you to simply modify the web page information to follow your latest efforts!

BOOM! :cool:

I have currecntly LineageOS Build 14.1 20170410 installed on my Nexus 6P and the quality of my voice during calls seems to be pretty bad. It's propably coming from installing Viper/Dolby Atmos for trial. I think these change the audio.conf file or something and that's creating this issue.

It seems to only be a problem for calls. I tried a recording and it's okay.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] sensi277:
The Android N update for the Zenfone 3 enables AudioWizard audio processing with wired headphones, meaning that any EQ you have on your phone's speakers will carry over to the headphones. There also may be a bug that activates certain AudioWizard presets on headphones without warning. Either way, you can fix the problem of headphone audio sounding tinny or weird by going into the Sound and Vibration settings menu while your headphones are plugged in, and selecting AudioWizard. Once in AudioWizard, set the preferences to your liking or just select Pure mode if you don't want any EQ or anything like that.
