[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marko Indaco:
Hi guys, I know could be a weird post but, did someone know if there's any way to improve the notification led, via hardware?

Because it's placed inside the upper audio speaker, I was wondering if a very small cilinder of palexiglass, or fiber or something similar could be inserted inside the corrispondent hole, perpendicular to the led axis. I would also be willing to make a very small hole in the audio speaker just to provide a better way to insert this hypothetical optical stuff (see screenshots). This shuold bring up the led-light on the external surface of the phone, allowing you to see it even at short distance from the phone.

PS

Please don't reply "change you're phone", thanks :laugh:
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myrmeko:
It is possible, but unlike on the M8, where you can just pry open the speaker grills, on the M9 you have to disasemble the whole phone to get to them.

Just get a new phone. ??

Or take a small drill screwdriver and make the hole larger. (Just kidding. Don't do this.)

Yeah... There is no practical way of making the led bigger or brighter
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marko Indaco:
But I wasn't kiddin :laugh: I mean, using something like this

[IMG="drill press"]https://www.krollit.com/pimages/Trapano-a-colonna-DMT-16-V-big-3490-588.jpg[/IMG]

and then fits a very small lens upon :D
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myrmeko:
If you have one of those go for it.

Try to make the hole a little bit wider, but not too much that it looks bad. If a lens would be there, it would kinda make it look like it came like that from factory.

Or i dunno. Just put the itty bitty tiny lens in the already existing hole without making it larger.

The front plastic plate is really hard to replace.

You decide. Make it subtle or make it obvious.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marko Indaco:
The factory holes for the audio speakers are too small imo (seems half a millimeter, or something like that). It's almost impossibile to find a lens with that measures, but... making a larger hole which also includes the other closer holes could be an option. This also shuold increase the visibility of the notification led, bringing on the surface the light.

In the screenshot I supposed 1 mm, but I think they would be better 2, also to have ease in finding the lens.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myrmeko:
I've just measured it and the space between 4 holes is 1mm^2.

But i think you could break a 2x4 grid to still keep the symmetry.

And above the 2 lenses you could fit inside the 2mm^2 hole, you could superglue put a small piece of glass to make it look "official".

I've attached 2 photos. One with possible scenarios.

And the other one with my already broken holes from another phone, which i edited poorly to look like there are only 2 rows broken (the actual phone has a 4x4 hole there, which im gonna attach anyway, because why not.).
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marko Indaco:
Yes, thank you for the screenshots. I was thinking about somenthing like in the second screenshot. Preferibly the 2x4 holes, but that it's way more difficult to do bore because it's not a rounded hole, and also i guess it's difficult to find a square lens instead of a rounded one. Anyway that's it, you got it :laugh: Of course must be very careful not to broke the upper audio speaker, which is one of the best features of this phone.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myrmeko:
Now you should just find a good way to do this.

I think there are cheap M9 front plates on Aliexpress for you to test on them.

Here is my inexperienced sollution.

Try filing down the connection points, until the middle part breaks off, then file the plastic excess. (Like with an electrical file with one of those precision heads. I dunno how they are called)

And about the lens, why not use 3 of them?

Put one right above the led. One next to it and one above both. Then seal them with a drop of clear epoxy. (Gray = front plate plastic, blue = epoxy, white = lens, orange = how the light might disperse)

Because i dont think people can (or want) make only one custom recangular lens.

But the most useful thing would be a tiny fresnel lens. But i think it might be impossible to make such a small one.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marko Indaco:
Hey all. So long time i come back to post here for a small update. Well, after scrubbing (manually, with a hand-cutter) a bit around the hole where is situated the led, I can confirm that the overall size of the led it's much bigger than it looks at the fist sight. Also, by doing this the led angle view is more wide, you can cleary see it also if you spin the phone by is vertical axis (the diameter of the hole it's around 3mm now).

Now I have to plug the hole by putting a very small lens, but I'm not finding yet for the moment.

I made a short video. I know, it's dark because the need to focus on led, of course, anyway, look at the angle of the phone when it's spinning around :D You can cleary see the led. Once the lens where puttin over should be further visible because shuold bring the brighness on the surface level :good:

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] AleRx8:
Hey guys,

just a quick question. Can you flash a new kernel (Lambda or vleg's one) into this phone? I'm asking mainly because of different CPUs (X820 vs X821).

Thanks a lot.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] GalaticStryder:
No, it won't boot probably due to mismatches in board-id as there is no source code to adjust the Kernel dt, the Kernel won't be able to initialize/detect the HW components due to missing GPIOS and stuff. There's nothing you can do without Kernel code.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] AleRx8:
Thanks a lot, I'm glad I asked before trying anything.
[Mate 8 General] Araytha:
Hi everyone,

I know this is quite old but while trying to get past FRP on a Mate 8 I bought recently I ran into a few issues that I thought I would share.

I followed a couple of guides to no avail, I found the information contained within this one to be the most helpful.

The first issue I ran into was not having access to the Assist option on input fields, the options I had were Cut, Copy and Share.

After clicking Share I was given a limited menu of installed applications, but included in the list was Gmail. This opened the app and allowed me to sign into an account (not a Google account though so it had to be Yahoo) I emailed myself a link to Google and was able to open Chrome.

On a side note another way to do this is using the Notes function from the Emergency Call screen. Not recommended obviously.

I used the guide above to download the APKs needed but Chrome didn't allow me access to launch the APKs.

This is where I became stuck for a long time! I tried so much stuff to be able to install those APKs, i tried using file:///sdcard/ but Chrome just tried to download them again.

After much fiddling and cycling through all Share option apps I was back in Gmail, this is where I struck gold. While in Gmail if you go into the account settings you can press the 3dot menu in the upper right corner and choose the option Manage Accounts. This will take you to the full settings menu albeit with some limitations (can't enable Developer Options)

From here it's pretty plain sailing, go down to Advanced Options then into Memory & Storage. Use Storage Cleaner, this will let you either click Storage in the top left or once the scan has finished the option Store Manager will appear at the bottom. This screen gives you two circles that represents Phone storage (left) and Micro SD (right) pressing either circle will take you into File Manager and allow you to install the APKs and you can follow the guide linked above from Step 5 to get around FRP

I hope this helps someone out there.

Step-by-Step

1. Boot phone and get to FRP Gmail input screen.

2. Input any text and Long Hold for options

3. Choose

Share

and share with

Gmail

4. Sign into a Yahoo account and email yourself a link

5. Click link to open Chrome and download APKs from here

6. Use long hold share menu to get back to Gmail

7. Tap 3Line menu on top left, choose

Settings

8. 3Dot menu on top right, choose

Manage Accounts

9.

Advanced Settings

then choose

Memory & Storage

10.

Storage Cleaner

then either top left for

Storage

or bottom for

Store Manager

11. Press either of the storage circles, this will open File Manager, navigate to downloaded APKs and install them.

12. Follow THIS GUIDE from

Step 5

13. Relax after the longest step by step guide ever???
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robgee789:
Hey guys I just downloaded the new modern combat verses game and it run horrible on this tablet, I'm running stock rooted but it's rubbish. The game runs great on my xiaomi mi a1 which has the SD625 but I thought this tablet would be better? Any idea how to help this problem?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hectorizq10:
Hi, I've been using n9 (16gb wifi only model) for the last 2 years and I pretty much enjoyed the experience with it but the battery is starting to annoy me a bit.

It lasts less than half day using only kindle app, browsing, and maybe watching some videos. But the worst part is the time spent in charging the device, like 4-5 hours aprox. I also tried using an external battery but when I'm using the tablet while charging it just maintains the same percentage, it doesn't charge.

Looking for alternatives I saw that I can get close to 150€ if I sell it now but I'm not sure if it's a low price as for 2017 or is a good price, and also if I could get a decent device with only those 150€. In the same store that offers me those 150€ I've seen iPads and some android tablets close to 200-250€.

The other alternative is to try with custom roms like Lineage or Slim and see if that improves the performance just enough for not having to be charging the device every single day.

What would you do?

Thx in advance.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madbat99:
You're always going to have to charge a tablet every night if you're using it a decent amount during the day. Any tablet.

Custom ROMs help the performance, a ton. Slim gets good battery life. Honestly the best battery life I've gotten on N9 is on the last build of Dirty Unicorns. They stopped at 7.1 though. Not a big deal except for security patches. I'm running AICP right now. Tons of features, but I'm noticing a little more battery drain than slim.

I can't speak for iPads because I don't use them. Just because of the limitations on playing your own media (movies transferred from PC) and certain casting situations, or downloading things (torrents and such). Mine is mostly for media consumption, and most of what I do can't be done on an iPad.

That said, I've heard they are great if they can do whatever it is you want to do with a tablet.

I don't think mine takes as long to charge as yours. Maybe try a better charger. I changed the daughterboard on mine (contains the USB port) and it charges faster now. That's not what I changed it for though. Mine was starting to fail to read my USB stick, and that fixed it. But an added bonus was better charging. They're only like $10 (us) and only took about 20 minutes to change. Couple screws and a couple ribbon cables.

USB otg sticks are a great way to add additional storage. I have a 64 GB one and it's great. It's micro USB on one side, and USB 3.0 on the other so I can transfer movies onto the stick from my PC really fast.

Sorry for going on so long, hope it was at least slightly helpful.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hectorizq10:
Really appreciate long answers :good:, you've given me a lot of ROM options and even hardware replace options. I think I'm going with Slim rom and I'll buy a new charger and see if that's the problem, because I think most of the things I do with tablet can be done with airplane mode and just having downloaded the content previously on usb stick (already have a otg adapter). Thank you very much :D

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] summerf:
I've got Axon 7 A2017 128GB*4GB from banggood.com. It came with Play Store and ZTE Theme app loaded and it was able to play Daydream games.

After hoping that I'll get a higher version, I have installed V2.0.0B13 full EDL package... Now the phone is:

1- showing as 64GB

2- Play Store is gone (I can sideload though)

3- Daydream apps say that the phone is not compatible.

Is there any chance I can restore it to the state it arrived in? This was supposed to be a gift to someone, now it's a mess and doesn't even do Daydream.

I have searched all over the forum and I almost bricked the device yesterday. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Aj-jss:
1_ I don't know but I've seen some other users have this issue too.(search forums)

2_Play Store is not pre-installed on the Chinese ROM and the seller must've done some extra things to get it pre-installed (mine was the same), so it's normal you should install it manually.

3_this B13(MiFavor5) ROM has a lot of issues and one of them is daydream doesn't work so it's ROM's issue and should be solved by future updates.

You can rollback to Marshmallow with a rollback package. Unless you have a backup of your previous ROM, you can't restore it.

Hello,

I’m having a strange thing with Nova launcher:

When I have used an app (for example Whatsapp) and I go back to the homescreen and I wait 30 seconds (for the backlight goes off) and when I tap the phone it goes directly to the latest app (in this case Whatsapp). It is a little bit annoying because when you hear you get a message, you want to look, but don’t want immediately to answer, you go online. When I use my Xperia launcher I haven’t this problem. Do you know how I can fix this? This happens to all the apps.

Thank you.

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, eh camera quality is kinda subjective... For me? I do prefer Nougat ROMs with the modified google camera as mentioned before.

There is one downside to Nougat ROMs though and that's the camera flash... Sadly the way LeEco implemented the flash via I2C doesn't work well with current nougat ROMs thus it isn't perfectly synched with the camera. So for dark photos with flash? Marshmallow ROMs are still better in that condition. I rarely take photos with flash so I'm not too concerned but just gonna mention it so you know too

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Here's a bunch of photos I took with the Google camera mod with HDR+ set to auto as it tends to work best on auto for a balanced shutter speed and quality.

https://goo.gl/photos/zsxYdUGLJGbkBRD28

So yeah, thus far Nougat with the modded google camera works darn good.

Here's the version of it I'm using

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120756004

Like I mentioned previously the only downside to Nougat camera quality is flash synchronization. It's not perfect as LeEco uses I2C and thus far the community developers sadly have not been able to mimic it in custom Nougat ROMs... Sadly LeEco will probably never release the source code for it...

If flash synchronization is extremely important to you? That would be the only reason I'd stick with a Marshmallow ROM.
