[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Heikomoz:
Hi guys, i tried some tutorial founded around the forums, but still not able to swap the internal memory of my device (Samsung Galaxy J100H already rooted) with the external sd memory card that has a second partition in vfat32.

I tried with "external 2 internal sd" app, but nothing happens.

I tried to look after the Vold.fstab in system/etc/ but this file doesn't exist on my model, probably mounting point etc. are located differently so i don't know how to find e modify the script.

Someone could help with this? Thank you for now. :) (hope this is the right section to post)

Hi,

Is anyone else having frustation points when aiming for a recent apps or back button. Like very fourth time, I wind up half pulling the credit card top from S Pay.

Is there a way to disable this like on the older phones with still being able to access quickly from lock? There used to be far more options for the quick launch.

I've got desktop PC with Linux and bluetooth but without WiFi so I am using BT PAN network access point service on the desktop PC and BT PAN client on my notebook to connect wireless when at home. Both are BT 2.0+EDR so the speed is about 3.0Mbps.

I've got Hermes with WM6 5.2.1933 and MS BT stack.

Is there a way I can connect to Internet over BT PAN?

I know there is some bluetooth PAN support as it can be used in Internet sharing but I haven't figured out how to connect to existing BT PAN network.

Any advice?

Thank you, it looks promising, I was able to find my bluetooth PAN interface and setup IP and DNS for it but I am unable to find any "Join a personal network" button in my bluetooth settings.

Where can I find the damn button? :)
[General Topics] KOPRajs:
OK, so just to close the topic...

the problem is in MS bluetooth stack which doesn't support bluetooth PAN client profile. The only solution for now is to install cracked Widcomm bluetooth stack on devices which originally came with the MS one. The project for this can be found on XDA wiki.

Current status for the Hermes (my sweety) is that you can make it work, can have BT PAN client but some other things doesn't work correctly (bt on/off in comm manager, bt audio profile doesn't work very well, ...).

What bout use WM6 with Internet haring Feature, that's all the stuff related to sharing internet using Bluetooth.

Regards,

Taguapire.
[General Topics] elmicha:
Internet Connection Sharing is the other way around: you can use your WM6 device as a PAN access point, and the PC (e.g. a notebook) is the PAN client.

KOPRajs, you can use ActiveSync over Bluetooth. On the PC you need SynCE (http://www.synce.org/). The wiki there is currently under construction, and I can't find anything about Bluetooth now, but there's a Howto for Ubuntu over at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=50932 .
[General Topics] KOPRajs:
Thx, I have actually SynCE working (even over bluetooth) but I was unable to set up MS proxy (or whatever it is) so even when it's connected, apps on the phone do not know about active connection and tries to dial up a GPRS instead of using Active Sync connection.

And more, the whole SynCE thing is highly unstable yet so that's why would be nice to use BT PAN client.

I cannot get a definitive answer on this. When I check some sites it shows that this international model SM-G955F has band 12 which is what I need for Volte on T Mobile:

https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/G9Yo5/samsung-sm-g955f-galaxy-s8-plus-td-lte-samsung-dream-2

http://www.phonemore.com/phone/samsung-galaxy-s8-plus-sm-g955f/3234

But on the Amazon site to order the device it does not list Band 12.......

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XYKR7GP

Here is another posting of it and this list no bands....

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-64GB-Unlocked-Phone/dp/B06XZRMCS7/ref=pd_sbs_107_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B06Y15D6RP&pd_rd_r=S8FN2DDKWM54QN8JXJ6D&pd_rd_w=5nH47&pd_rd_wg=uVQ72&refRID=S8FN2DDKWM54QN8JXJ6D&th=1

SO, does anyone have this actual model and can actually check the LTE bands available on that model for me? I would greatly appreciate it before I spend that kind of money. I definitely want the Exynos unlocked for ROM, root, etc. If you are nopt sure how to check here is an app I found to check what 4G bands your phone supports...

http://www.techsng.com/2016/10/check-4g-network-bands-android.html

I do not know if the app I posted will work, but try this method if fails:

If you go in to the service menu by dialling in *#*#7378423#*#* then go to service info then configuration. All the working bands are listed there

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] clubtech:
The SM-G955F? Has band 12. If you plan on using it on T-Mobile you need to make sure it also supports VOLTE on their network.

I'll be getting mine next week and will try to confirm if it has VOLTE on T-Mobile.

According to the FCC listing it supports the following US bands 12, 17, 13, 26, 5, 66, 4, 25, 2, 41 so aside from band 30 it has all the bands needed to work great on AT&T and T-Mobile.

It also has carrier aggregation with US bands with the following combinations:

2+12

4+12

4+17

12+12

66+17

41+41

66+66

and 3 band carrier aggregation at the following bands:

4+12+12

66+12+66

41+41+41

Usually the FCC info is the most accurate!

I also looked the options.. this is what i understood..

amazon and other ebay list the International version of ASIA where Band 12 is not listed.. and no Region lock.. you can use any SIM on this..

EU version has Band 12 listed, but it has region lock enabled, so you need EU sim and get it activated by making call for 5 min. then you can put any SIM. but band 30 is not supported (ATT)

i enquired on Clove they listed Band 12 is supported.. whoever have the device can confirm on this.

I bought a Navdy Portable Head-Up Display Device Navigation recently.

I live in Brazil and i can use Navdy in Brazil for navigation (Uses Google Maps) but there is no option to choose Portuguese as navigation audio.

I wanted to ask the developers here if you could be as kind as to have a look into the Navdy Andrid and iOS apps to see where the location/directory of the language pack are.

It would be great if the developers here could modify the apps to come with the Porguguese language included....

[Smart Unlock] 86Michal:
Hello

I have bought a while ago the application Smart Unlock. I am trying to use it on my smartphone Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 with MIUI 8.3 (undelying is Android 5.0.2) without root. But the app does not seem to work properly. I was going for an app that removes/bypasses the default Android locking screen which I currently use with 4-digit PIN code while I am connected to a trusted wifi.

Here is what I have done:

I added my wifi to the list of trusted wifi networks, I see the network with a green icon, so I assume Smart Unlock recongizes it,

I allowed Smart Unlock to "Start on boot" by checking the option in the menu,

I checked Smart Unlock's system rights and I can see that it is allowed to "turn on bluetooth", "show on lock screen" and "launch on background", on the other hand it is not allowed to "send MMS",

I set Smart Unlock as a device administrator in security system settings,

I pinned Smart Unlock to my "always-on" applications (this is to prevent turning Smart Unlock off when I kill all my open apps to release RAM).

But despite all the above mentioned steps I cannot make Smart Unlock to work. When I have my smartphone unlocked (i.e. I am standing on my desktop) I can see in the notification bar a message saying "Smart Unlock, device unlocked", so far so good. So I turn off my screen, Android locks itself, I turn the screen back on and I am requested to enter my PIN code. Now, the notification bar says "Smart Unlock - Safe zone detected, first unlock manually". So I enter my PIN code and get to my desktop, the notification bar says, again, "Smart Unlock, device unlocked". And now I am in a loop. I can again turn off the screen and upon next unlocking I am again requested to enter my PIN code to unlock the device. So, basically, I never end up in a situation when I am NOT requested to enter my PIN code while on trusted wifi.

I would be glad if you could point me in the right direction how to use your app properly. I am willing to send you any logs or screenshots that may be of help.

Thank you in advance

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chesterr:
Today all of the sudden my nav buttons stopped working. Rarely back button works it's either hit or miss. I put the phone to sketch and tried to draw something and it doesn't draw anything there as well.

Weird thing is that nav buttons work without an issue when I am in TWRP recovery. I've flashed the phone using flashtools and it didn't work either. One thing I didn't try is to repair the software using Xperia Companion.

Phone was working fine till today.

Any one had the same problem? :confused:

You can extract any file from a ROM using an unpacker.

Then head over to OnePlus's downloads page here and download whichever version of OOS that contains the files you're looking for. Use the unpack tool to extract the entire ROM's directory directly on your PC and simply find the apk as you would on a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Darkshades:
Hi, thanks for reading.

Coming from an extremely weaker Sony Xperia c5 ultra e5506, the only time media audio quality was adjusted to be mono/lower bitrate was during cellular calls.

I regularly used​ discord as VoIP and played YouTube or music while connected to discord and the sound remained high quality stereo, same as when not using the VoIP application.

However on the Galaxy S8+ the audio for all media is changed to single channel mono muxed to stereo, extremely tinny sounding low bit rate the moment I connect to discord or similar VoIP application.

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the audio quality of background application media to not be reduced so significantly while using call/VoIP applications? Or is this just going to be how it is.. ?

Thank you.

Edit/Update: I just tested discord on my phone before last, the Galaxy S III, and YouTube audio quality is not distorted or downgraded while connected to a VoIP server... Overall make satisfied with my S8+ but I'll be fairly disappointed if audio quality multi tasking in an almost 10 year old phone, 5 predecessors behind, out performs it...

I have the same issue after upgrading from a iPhone 5s with perfect discord sound quality, to my S8+ which makes the call quality really compressed and bad unless my own Mic is muted.

I use discord nightly and i really really wish there was a way around this. :crying:

I think I found the solution to your audio issue.

This is for Samsung 8+/8, I mean, it might work for other phones that are Samsung and run Android version 7.0 and Android experience version 8.1 along with latest OS updates.

1. bring down the top menu

2. hold and press on the Bluetooth signal (it should be already synced with your Bluetooth headset device)

3. You're taken to another screen: Click on the three dots to the top right

4. On that little menu that pops up, go to and click on media volume sync

5. If it is off, make sure this option is on, and adjust your Bluetooth volume to max (optional)

6. That's it, it should now be able to play all audio on highest quality.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Mediask:
Thanks for your reply TangoNcash. It seemed to have helped somewhat. The call quality has improved, but the sounds from other apps (such as youtube/spotify) are not. They remain with the same, bad (bluetooth(?)) call quality. The weird part is, it does not seem to affect games (I run them from the game launcher).

While it is expected to have the bad quality with a bluetooth headset, this problem (bad codec) is appearing on wired headphones for me. A problem that was not there with my Samsung S6. I'm planning to go by a samsung service point later this week. Does anyone have found a solution to this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] marcossanches:
I'll have to revive this thread, I have the same problem with my Zenfone 2, if I enter a Discord channel or WhatsApp call the media audio just gets to be "supressed" like it's very low quality or some audio noise reduction is going on. That really messes things up as you want to use Discord and play with your friends at the same time, but can't hear steps in games, I also found out that if you active your mic in games (at least in PUBG) it does the same. All problems happens with wired and bluetooth phones.

SOLUTION

All you have to do is open a voicemail and put it on hold, boom clear discord.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] WACOMalt:
I know this isnt a solution, But I was having this issue in Discord on android in a channel I was solely wanting to listen to music in, not talk. What I did was a went to my bluetooth headphones in the bluetooth settings and unchecked "Phone calls"

This left only the higher quality audio modes and now Discord plays good audio and uses my phone mic if I ever did want to talk.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Anonxxx:
I found a solution, but you'll have to do this every time you intiate a call. It doesn't take long though:

Step 1: Launch the Discord app and go to settings

Step 2: Select "Voice & Video"

Step 3: Scroll down and make sure "Audio Mode" is set to "Call Mode"

Step 4: Initiate a call

Step 5: While on the call, open a vociemail then hang up

You should now have clear audio.

I've only tested this with wired headphones btw.

I've been having suppressed and terrible voice quality on my galaxy S8 too. And this method seems to work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Immortalfool:
I seem to be having these issues as well when it comes to my p20 pro. Exact same issue with the filtering and down graded codec. It only reverts to pure quality if I make a phone call to anyone or my voicemail whilst in a discord call or server. The issue here is my mic volume gets dropped dramatically that no one can hear me talk unless it's pure silence and quote "if I don't breath I can hear you". Now that I'm seeing it happen on not just my Huawei device but a Samsung as well, including the fact you have a headphone jack (I only have a usb adapter) this gives me some hope that it's not just some hardware limitation. Other than the similar temp solution of having a phone call at the same time, has anyone fooled around with the developer options?

Phone: p20 pro

Headphones: wired headphones or Bluetooth

OS: Android 8.1 + emui 8.1

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GuestD2813:
This solution has plagued me for months. I'm on the latest version of Android 8.0 and am pretty sure it's a problem with Android. I couldn't find a way around it, until today!

This specifically works with Discord, and getting good audio quality while on a voice call with someone. I like to be on voice calls almost 24/7 so it drove me crazy not being able to listen to any other kind of audio.

Anyways, today there was a new setting in Discord that fixed everything for me:

[IMG="Android Discord settings"]https://i.imgur.com/zFlUjcK.jpg[/IMG]

Go inside your Discord audio settings and enable Force Calls to use OpenSL ES and Call Mode. Both seem to solve this issue to have audio become high quality again.

Sorry for reviving this thread, but this is the first result on Google when looking for low quality VOIP media audio, and I'd like to provide a solution for anyone else who was like me and plagued with this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] SniperLolz:
Nova 3i, I have the same problem.

I'm on Android 8.1.0 EMUI 8.2.0 and I have the same problem. I've contacted Huawei about the issue and they said it was just a part of the software. It has no solution for now.

I've also contacted the store I bought the device from and the guy said that he'd experienced the same issue on his Note 9 which runs Android Oreo, but not on his Mate 20 Pro which runs Android P.

He told me that it most likely is an Oreo problem, and that it's not happening in P. I hope that's right, but I've no way of actually testing this theory, since Android P will take about a month before arriving for my device.
