[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] Skiblah:
Just switched to lineage and it's great so far. One feature I am missing is in stock Miui you had the option to set the volume down photo to take photos even when the phone is off. So essentially just hold down the volume button and it starts snapping, no need to turn on, open camera app etc This is great for capturing a moment very quickly, but I don't see this option in lineage. Any ideas how I can re enable it?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] templeka:
I think there's a setting to double press power button to open camera.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] Skiblah:
Thanks but that's different to the Miui functionality.

In Miui you hust hold the volume button down and it starts shooting, regardless of focus etc. No screen on, no opening of app
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] Skiblah:
I found the functionality is called Quick Snap in Miui. Is it available via xposed or something similar?

Hello,

I create that thread to present you Frequency Generator, a simple tool to generate free tones between 1Hz and 24000Hz for a duration of your choice. Frequency Generator is available on the Google Play Store in two versions :

- Free supported by Ads : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ssaurel.frequencygenerator

- Paid without Ads : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ssaurel.frequencygenerator.pro

You can discover Frequency Generator in action on YouTube :

[YOUTUBE]fZIWc0lN5Bc[/YOUTUBE]

Use the slider to select the frequency of your choice, then use the second slider to select the duration of the tone you want to generate and finally you have just to click on the play button to play the tone which is a sine wave signal.

Frequency Generator is a simple and efficient tool covering the following use cases :

- Testing speakers or audio devices

- Make a quick test of your Hearing by determining the range of frequencies you are able to hear. For this use case, a more complete solution can be found with Hearing Test : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ssaurel.hearingtest

- Experiencing the acoustic beat phenomenon. What is the acoustic beat phenomenon ? The beat phenomenon is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. To experience this phenomenon, you have just to launch Frequency Generator on two devices and then generate a frequency of 560Hz on the first and 563Hz on the second. Like that, you will hear an acoustic beat of frequency 3Hz. Musicians commonly use interference beats to objectively check tuning at the unison, perfect fifth, or other simple harmonic intervals.

- Make some jokes to your friends or in the public transports

Some screenshots :

* Use the slider to select frequency and duration

* Generate your free tone by clicking on the play button

You can also download Frequency Generator directly on the SSaurel's Server : https://www.ssaurel.com/frequencygenerator/FrequencyGenerator.apk

Don't hesitate send me your feedback or give me your ideas to improve Frequency Generator in comments.

Thanks.

[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aK_mr3'ofive:
let me explain everything why have i created this thread.

My phone was only charging when switched off. I was on Lineage OS (by daniel_hk) at that time so i thought it is because of that custom ROM.

I, then, intended to flash stock ROM, this one: https://xdaforums.com/k3-note/development/official-build-lenovo-k3-note-k50a40-6-t3370537

debloated version.

I booted into TWRP recovery (v3.1.1-2 by daniel_hk).

Wiped everything and tried flashing K3 Note S433 Debloated ROM from the link i mentioned above. I received error 7. Now i was stuck without any OS in the phone.

Then I tried to flash other version of twrp (3.1.1-0) in phone using sp flash tool but received another error- "PMT is changed for the ROM! It must be downloaded" :/

I googled and found the solution is format the flash using sp flash tool. I did it and flashed the recovery but my phone went dead completely! No responses at all.

Finally i decided to install the original S433 ROM in K3 Note using SP Flash tool but then i receved another error - "BROM: Error 4008"

Then I tried another version of SP Flash tool, v5.1628 (previously v5.1604), Received the PMT changed error then formatted again then flashed the Original ROM.

Now my phone is Unbricked but still not charging and i have no IMEI also. :(

Favours/Helps that i want-

1. Main thing i want my phone to charge when it is powered on. Watched this video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7qtDMu_WTU but I am not able to enter Engineering Mode.

2. I want to install debloated version of this ROM through TWRP and for that i have to flash twrp now but to flash TWRP i will need to format using SP Flash tool first (becuase of error "PMT is Changed in the ROM") and if i do that my phone will be bricked again! If i somehow flashed the recovery then i'll not be able to flash the debloated version of the ROM because of the "Error 7". :(

3. Want my IMEI back

Any Help will be really appreciated.

And sorry if any similar thread already exists I couldn't find the best solution for me anywhere so i created my own!
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asish RP:
dude , first thing to remember;

even if your os is completely gone and recovery option is still working , then don't ever do these stupid things.

I've been in your place . But i always knows that if your recovery is still working then there's 99.9% you can fix it.but it seems like you've ruined everything with other flash tools. Dude , unlike every phones, k3 note has it's own k3 note manager software available in xda forums. You can download twrp backups here . Lenovo stock rom backup was here, only you have to do is download and place it on the correct folder. Then press restore!!!

But you ruined everything. I don't know if it turn on again. You came here after all of this and asking us to help now? I

install a custom rom after installing the stockrom (which got error7 during install)

after u get error7 when installing the firmware,,you wont have any os for the phone to boot.

just flash someother custom rom after u got that error.. phone will boot up.

Please compare whether all files of the stockrom you downloaded are extracted,i got error 7,and when i investigated the reason was that one of the file inside the rar file was not extracted.which inturn caused error during instalation

Is this a legitimate way of updating? If so why the errors?

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
I'm getting no errors, it downloads it all and reboots to recovery. But since I have TWRP it doesn't get past that.

I will backup everything and try a full install.

I wonder if anyone got that second method working and if you need UBL for that.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pardus:
Are you using 127.0.0.1? And what ROM and address in Huawei Updater?

My current version is MHA-L09C900B186 unlocked international version so I've used "MHA-L09 8.0.0.324(C900)" and "http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1819/g1699/v99803/f1" gathered from the PC version of Firmware Finder but no luck, 127.0.0.1 just gives no internet connection error.

Edit: You get internet connection errors if the URL you input is wrong.

Install patched recovery from Hwota first, then try again.

Every update goes through following steps:

Initiate update

Download

Authorization

Install

This method with Huawei Updater replaces first step. But you are right, that authorization blocks installation.

That doesn't work either

None of the above work as they still have to go the authorization stage and fail.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] revjamescarver:
Using Hisuite and Huawei updater to upgrade is not going to work no matter what kind of hacks you try, as there are currently no Oreo ROMs that are authorized by Huawei for installation. The official Oreo had just started to roll out to the Chinese mate 9, and that is being released on a quota. Installation of any the other Oreo ROMs out there require a modified recovery to be flashed that does not check for authorization (there are Oreo ROMs for almost every variant so you don't need to rebrand at this point), which is what the HWOTA method does, so if you want Oreo you either use the HWOTA method, rebrand to the Chinese variant (and get a Chinese sim card), or wait for the official update to be rolled out to your variant of the mate 9

I'm very glad to share with you that I already purchased a fast charger for my Huawei P9 ?

My partner bought this as a gift to me today here in the Philippines. Price was Php 1,499 from the Huawei concept store and the cable from the charger out of the box works with fast charging ? The box includes one micro-usb cable.

When it reached 60% in charging though, the status changed to "charging" which I think is normal.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] markgnarza:
Hi, newer Pixel XL owner coming from a Nexus 6P. I rooted and flashed a custom ROM on my Nexus 6P and used my hotspot from there. I'm on Sprint and have unlimited data but hotspot is not included, but when I used my 6P's hotspot the way that I did, Sprint wouldn't count it as hotspot usage and I wouldn't get charged for it. Now on the Pixel XL, I used the build.prop tethering.noprovisioning=true flag to access the hotspot, which works fine, but Sprint is receiving it as hotspot usage and charging me for it. So:

1. Anyone know how to bypass this so I can use the hotspot freely like I did on my 6P?

2. Would I have to flash a custom ROM that includes a hotspot mod?

If so, can someone explain how the flashing process has changed on the Pixel XL with the whole A/B slot thing? I am rooted with Magisk/have TWRP installed currently but haven't done anything beyond that as far as flashing goes, think I've been reading people say that you have to flash TWRP again whenever you flash anything else to get it to stick, is that accurate?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mwalt2:
I recently switched to Sprint and have 10 gb of hotspot. I was wondering if their was a way to have them not count usage. I found that using SQLite Editor to edit /data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db. Click on "carriers" and search for Sprint. In my file, it was _id 739. Then add ",dun" under "type". It will already have default,supl,mms,ims,cbs. After making that change, it no longer counts tethering usage separately from data usage.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] markgnarza:
tried doing this in a couple different apps but none of them will let me save the edit, throws an error code. thanks for the information though, will keep trying!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mwalt2:
Did you ever find a solution? I ended up resetting my phone while installing the November security update, and now editing telephony.db no longer works for me - it still counts tethering usage.

Anyone know files to edit to make tethering work on Sprint? Not really a big deal because I doubt I'll ever even use the 10gb's...it's more just because I can and it's a pixel with an unlocked bootloader. :p
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] markgnarza:
I ended up flashing a Nougat ROM, Pure Nexus, for the hotspot feature and others, though I'm not sure if it's being reported to Sprint as hotspot usage as opposed to regular data yet. The other thing I would recommend would be to root your phone with Magisk 14.2 (not the latest, 14.3, because modules don't work on 14.3 as far as I'm aware) and use the tether enable module.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mwalt2:
Just for anyone wondering, I ended up modifying telephony.db, build.prop edit (net.tethering.noprovisioning=true), and running the following command in terminal: "settings put global tether_dun_required 0". Now it is not counting hotspot data; only mobile data. It doubt all 3 items are needed, but it did not work until running the terminal command and restarting my phone.

We have numerous threads discussing blueshift on the Pixel XL 2. But we don't have a true consolidated thread for people that don't have it at all.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] SquireSCA:
They ALL have blue tint, it is from the polarizing feature of the screen. It makes it easier to read in direct sunlight, and the trade off is that it looks a little blue at angles. Most fans have varying degrees of this.

People need to stop worrying about things that aren't broken, and don't matter... LOL
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Wbroshea:
People need to stop assuming that all the phones are created equal rather than the issue varies between phones where some phones have more significant blue shift than others... LOL
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] SquireSCA:
They are. I have seen the videos where they have two phones side by side and they move the camera back and forth... well, the one on the far side of whichever direction the camera is panning, will be at a greater angle than the one closest to the Sam era, hence it will have more tiny.

Mine has it, I don’t even notice it because I don’t use my phone from 4 feet away at a 55 degree angle. I pick it up and face it and use it,

If you can’t stand it, then get an iPhone and call it a day.

I am saying that they have already sold hundreds of thousands of them and the number of people really complaining seems pretty small.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Wbroshea:
Really, the number seems small? The screen is pretty much all the current reviews are talking about. How many have gone back? I mean you seem to know how many Google has sold so maybe you know how many have gone back. The problem is I would guess the average person on the street doesn't even know what a pixel is. Personally, I have never seen another person with one (I do admit I also haven't looked for it). The only ones that I know that buy Pixel phones and previously nexus phones are the techies. Techies will notice the screen.

Look if I got a good screen I would have kept mine too, so the phone is very good. However, my screen was half blue and half white at the angle I held my phone which was about 5 degrees off axis. Even my wife said hell no to it, and that's saying something. My plan is to wait about a month and then rebuy it and go through the process again. The variability is an issue.

Also your earlier argument about the comparison videos aren't valid because the phones will be at different angles doesn't really hold water when most videos show the phones from both sides.

---------- Post added at 03:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 AM ----------

Your phone is pretty bad for shift angle like mine was. Is the blue in the picture similar to the color you see in real life? I have seen some say that capturing the blue color is hard and that it looks worse in person. I have also seen some say the exact opposite that it looks worse on camera. Wish I had tried taking pictures of mine as my blue in person was just a touch stronger.
