Hi guys,

i have this small problem with my Watch (which is great in any other aspect btw).

When i charge it, the screen flickers like it's a glitch from the matrix (different pixel colors, etc, you get the idea).

Sometimes it freezes and i need to force reboot it.

Other than this the watch is perfect. I tried hard resetting it but the problem remains.

Might it be the charger? The power brick is branded so i know it's original, but the base might be china... I bought the watch used (and of course the guy never mentioned it)

Thanks a lot!

weird
[Huawei Watch] ldeveraux:
I have this happen with aftermarket charging devices. I bought a $10 black piece from Amazon and it does the same thing. I bit the bullet and bought another official charger and it works perfectly.
[General Questions and Answers] Noir_CZ:
Hello all, first time posting.

I am looking for a stock (preferably) or custom fw/rom for tablet Allview Viva H1001 LTE that I bought after my company wrote it off after its screen and touch layer broke. Problem is there is custom FW/ROM installed on it, because of it being used to test company products (preinstalled apps and some functions like web browsers and google play disabled).

Tried looking for something via google and on here, but no good. Maybe I am just searching wrongly.

Either way it, as title says

Allview Viva H1001 LTE 10", with (info from boot menu):

BB Chip MT6735

MS Board Viva:H1001_LTE

Thanks for any pointers.

did you find firmware for your tablet?
[General Topics] supersobbie:
ok I have been searching and searching and one of the reasons I thought we should get a sticky WM5 section... can someone point me to the latest WM5 compatible HTC Home? I have one installed but as I mentioned in another post I am having trouble getting rid of the 24 hour clock. Thought if I make sure I have the latest the issue would resolve itself.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Change the time style in settings/regional settings and u will get a 12 hours clock in HTC Home.
[General Topics] supersobbie:
tjkhattak61,

thanks for the reply... but I have changed all that... I did do my research. I tried changing the Regional settings... I went into the registry and changed them. I soft reset after all changes... many many many time and I still have not gotten it resolved.

I was going to uninstall and reinstall the HTC Home that I currently have but wanted to know if there is a newer version that works for Windows Mobile 5. I know that there is a newer version of HTC Home but not sure if any of them work with Windows Mobile 5.

Thanks again...

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Tassadar81:
As in the title, anyone knows if it supports aptx over bluetooth?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Galactus:
yes

https://twitter.com/urbanstrata/status/870717235882360832
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] zuli007:
No it doesnt. Check official APTX site or phone spec.

LG G6 with APTX support have better sound on BT headphones.

I hope that Oreo will bring APTX support (native support this codec).
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Tassadar81:
Maybe it has been introduced later with some update? Like with the upcoming oreo?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] kurtschmeichel:
How to check if the Bluetooth connection uses aptX or not?

EDIT: Using the Simple CID Getter app, I found following line on my U11 with stock Nougat ROM in Europe.

Does it mean that aptx is supported?

[persist.bt.a2dp_offload_cap]: [sbc-aptx]
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] sergeymetallic:
Yes, but aptx-hd is not supported (yet?) Could anyone check that parameter for Oreo? Should be like persist.bt.a2dp_offload_cap=sbc-aptx-aptxhd
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Galactus:
You're drunk, it does support APTX

I have an S8 which of course supports APTX and my P7 Wireless sound the same as they did on the U11

---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

I have looked at the bluetooth log (available in developers options) where you can see which codecis being used. APTX is there.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] djbutter:
It most certainly does. In fact, with Oreo, it now supports LDAC and aptX HD.

I can personally confirm this on my unlocked Oreo'd U11.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Crimsonshadow774:
Don't listen to those who don't know what they are talking about. The U11 supports APTX and Apt X HD as well as LDAC and others. Some are dependant on the Oreo update though.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] sergeymetallic:
Hello. I just recently updated to Oreo (CID_34). I tried Sony headphones(Sony WH-1000XM2) and I noticed that sound quality got worse(maybe my personal impression). So I started Simple CID Getter and tried to find supported codecs. I got this:

persist.vendor.bt.a2dp_offload_cap: sbc-aptx

Question is - how to check current codec is used with headset? How to enable LDAC if it's possible at all?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Pat123:
On AOSP it is usually in developer options. Might want to check there.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] cx5:
If it's default rom, then it will tell you upon pairing connection = https://www.google.com.hk/search?q=...sNnYAhWCGpQKHS1EAdEQ_AUICigB&biw=1478&bih=791

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Fredz:
You can choose aptx or aptx HD codec in developper menu. But the oreo update seams to have problem with it. Some people have quality issue with it. This is the case for me. And even if I try modifying the codec to use, when the Bluetooth connection is reach, the codec goes back to SBC.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] sergeymetallic:
I have the same issue. Tried to troubleshoot it with HTC customer support but no luck :( Even factory reset does not make it working

PS Had another conversation with support - they suggested to update firmware on the device O_o

The thing is it works fine with Sennheiser HD 4.50 BTNC - so there is an option to use APTX which is chosen by default, but the rest of devices just work with sbc
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Alpert3:
If you want to use aptX, aptX HD, or other codec on bluetooth headphones, you have to check if the headset supports those codecs...

If it won't switch to aptX but only stays on sbc, that's means the headset does not support aptX...stop blaming HTC...
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] sergeymetallic:
https://www.sony.com/electronics/headband-headphones/wh-1000xm2/specifications please check it there

SUPPORTED AUDIO FORMAT(S)

SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, LDAC

So what am I doing wrong?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Alpert3:
How many the "rest devices" you have and you didn't mention? XD

Try change it when connected in BT settings. The dev settings will be overridden in some cases.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] sergeymetallic:
I tried Sony one, Bowers & Wilkins PX and Sennheiser HD 4.50 BTNC and only Sennheiser had AptX working. I tried to change codec when connected - no effect. However with US version of software it works just fine https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74669968&postcount=1038
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Anakha56:
I can't be certain that this is your problem but I had an annoying issue with my U11 after updating to Oreo. After reboot I would get the error message "Settings has stopped working." after countless hours of troubleshooting I found in this the log file:

--------- beginning of crash

I also noticed that every time I selected APTX in the Developer settings it would not stick, logs led me to a similar error message. Sent HTC numerous tweets and support emails and the latest Oreo release 2.42, after factory reset, seems to have resolved the issue. But I am still trying to test inbetween my day job :). So if you are on the Oreo build prior to 2.42 you might have a Bluetooth issue, not sure, only way to tell is to go through your logs...

*more info*

Prior to 2.42 I had done multiple factory resets and even flashed the RUU but I was still getting the error.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Goofy-Goober:
Hi guys,

i'm using a Note 8 N9500 128gb in italy, with TIM carrier.

under 4G coverage, the phone rarely show the 4G+ icon in the status bar, but other phones like the older Note 4/Note Edge, shows 4G+ icon in same situation. In my house for example there is full 4G+ coverage with the Note Edge and LG V10 that connected in 4G+, meanwhile Note 8 only shows 4G icon.

with the Note 8 i have saw the 4G+ only a couple of times...

is the Note 8 antenna that bad?

or can it be another kind of problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Goofy-Goober:
Solved

Sad story....

Note 8 N9500 support all bands used here in Italy, B3, B7 and B20, but only support carrier aggregation with bands B3+B7 and not B3+B20
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
You are right about CA. 4G+ just means CA is active, 4G is still LTE. Same goes for LTE & LTE+ icons for other variants/CSC which is the equivalent to 4G & 4G+. When I get high speeds I'm usually connected to only one band & CA is inactive, well that's the case for my area anyway.

My N950F originaly had 4G & 4G+ icons. If you use Network Cell Info the app will show you. I'm using TMB CSC now & they don't use seperate icons. The icon is 4G/LTE whether CA is active or not but with Network Cell Info I can see when CA activates.

If you change your CSC to your country or carrier you may get the additional CA combos for your area.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] icteyemd:
Yes same thing here. Can anyone solve the video calling on SM-N9500 TGY. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
Use Phone INFO or Shortcut Master & try to launch 467 (IMS Settings). Under IMS Service Switch see if you have MMTEL switch, VoLTE, VoLTE-Video etc. Enable them if you do to see if that works.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Brix1989:
N9500 snapdragon

Hi, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in helping me out. I've got the imported N9500 256GB dual sim which runs a snapdragon chiset. In South Africa, where I'm from, the local devices are Exynos. The CSC for all these devices are obviously for Exynos chipsets. Here's my question, would it be possible to get my country's CSC for the snapdragon variant? My country code is XFV (VODACOM / VODAFONE) or XFE (UNBRANDED)

The reason I'm asking is because my Note 8 won't ever connect to LTE-A unlike my locally sourced A8 2018. If the above is not possible is there any other way of getting the carrier aggregation to work? Thanks in advance.

Hi.

Has anyone ever encountered this weird issue?

Any fix for this?

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Accessories] _mysiak_:
I've got couple of cases and screen protectors, for anyone interested here are my observations:

Note: links to products are random, do your own search before buying.

1. Nillkin Super frosted case, purchased for 4.7 eur

Pros:

- good fit

- comes with a soft screen protector

- hard case

- rubbery non slipping surface

Cons:

- bundled screen protector is is smaller than the actual display and scratches extremely easily, smudges quickly, hard to clean

- rubbing against the surface can irritate the skin as it's a bit harsh/sharp

- uncomfortable to hold for prolonged time due to above (ebook reading)

2. Imak hard "cowboy" case, purchased for 6.1 eur

Pros:

- hard case with good fit

- non slippery, sandpaper like surface

- no sharp edges anywhere

- bundled with a soft screen protector (didn't try it yet, but probably the same as Nillkin)

Cons:

- probably none

3. Noname "Luxury Ultra Thin Soft TPU Silicone Matte Rubber Case Cover" for less than 1 usd

Pros:

- extremely pleasant to touch, probably the best of all cases

- good fit, really thin

Cons:

- soft case, can deform over time

4. Noname "For Xiaomi Mi A1/5X Luxury Plating Clear TPU Case Shockproof Soft Rubber Cover" for 2.3 usd

Pros:

- none really

Cons:

- standard clear TPU case, thicker than other

- blue color is in fact purple

- slippery when wet

5. Gadgetshieldz ultra clear screen protector for 8.95 usd

Pros:

- full display coverage

- doesn't impact touch response

Cons:

- complicated wet installation

- a bit rubbery feel

- some edges are not fully glued even after more than 12 hours

- doesn't fully clear up, heavily distorts the screen even after few days (diffraction of pixels?), very visible with white color on the screen. It should be hard to peel off from the display, but it gets off with almost no effort, so shield probably isn't fully compatible with Mi A1 display (or its coating).

6. Full cover tempered glass screen protector, pack of 2 for 2.5 usd

This one didn't arrive yet, but I have very similar protector on another phone

Pros:

- easy installation

- full coverage

- real glass, oleophobic, feels like "naked" screen

- scratch resistant

- cheap

Cons:

- breaks easily

- glass itself is not glued to the screen (only the black/white edges)

- sometimes visible dotted pattern (touch sensitive layer)

- adds a bit of bulk to the phone (not an issue while using a back cover though)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Considering price and "performance" ratio, my picks are #2, #3 for case and #6 for screen protector.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Accessories] Badelhas:
The full screen protectors I've tried suck since you can clearly see the dots and a rainbow effect. It looks terrible. On the HTC 10 my full screen protector didn't have those dots.

I just wished there was a glass screen protector with oleophobic treatment (has the screen has) so it wouldn't get so much smudges, anyone knows one like that?

Cheers
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Accessories] _mysiak_:
I've seen/had full screen protectors with

1. clearly visible dots, no rainbow

2. almost invisible dots with rainbow

3. almost invisible dots with no rainbow

All of them were extremely cheap and eBay listing seemed to be the same or very similar product. No idea how to distinguish them.. Once I receive the batch for A1, I'll confirm if it's with visible dots and rainbow :)

Btw. IMAK PRO+ full screen protector might be what we want, in the descriptions it's mentioned that whole protector is glued to the screen, so it shouldn't show any adverse effects. Maybe I'll try it later when I run out of cheap protectors.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Accessories] rickiez:
ordered one of this case, wait it arrive at me.

i think its a nice case, i bought it before for my friend redmi 4x, will make the phone a little thick.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Accessories] Badelhas:
Thanks, if you try it please tell me if it's good. I've never spent more than 1 dollar on a screen protector since I tend to think they are all the same.

Cheers
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Accessories] _mysiak_:
Update about:

5. Gadgetshieldz ultra clear screen protector for 8.95 usd

It doesn't fully clear up, heavily distorts the screen even after few days (diffraction of pixels?), very visible with white color on the screen. Probably isn't fully compatible with Mi A1 display (or its coating).

However customer service was very nice, they sent me another shield, which unfortunately showed the very same problem. We agreed on refund (I will need to send used shield back). I can recommend the company, but not the product, at least with our phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Accessories] Badelhas:
I've tried a full coverage glass screen protector for my HTC 10 which didn't have micro dots, didn't have rainbow effect since it had glue in all the glass, not just the sides, it was perfect. For the Xiaomi Mi A1 I've come to the conclusion that there is no full coverage protector like that, they all have those stupid micro dots, makes the screen look terrible and I've decided that a smaller screen protector, which dosent cover the all screen, is the only way to go.

If someone finds a better full coverage protector please share with us.

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fundoozzz:
Hello guys,

We all know how awesome those photos look which have that depth effect in them called the Portrait Mode. In 2017, Portrait mode is all rage and most of the smartphones could achieve it using 2 primary cameras.

With the introduction of Pixel 2 lineup, all this changed when Google achieved the same effect using a single sensor with dual pixel technology.

We all know that Galaxy S8 & S8 Plus uses the same dual pixel technology for faster autofocus. So now, it is very much possible for Samsung to provide the Portrait mode for S8 & S8 plus like the Google did but it is highly unlikely that Samsung will work on it considering that their main focus is on the Note lineup.

Galaxy S series phones are costly too & we users spend a considerable amount of our earnings to get a flagship experience & thus should not be left behind with features like Portrait mode which can be implemented with a software update. Considering the current scenario, Samsung is not going to roll out this feature with the Oreo update as well.

Thus I have created a petition on change.org which I request my fellow users to sign. If we get enough signatures, then who knows, we might even get the Portrait mode in the near future.

Here is the link to the petition Sign Here

Do spread a word among all the Galaxy S8 communities so that we can get maximum support.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Pain-N-Panic:
So I made a custom navbar. Using paint.net I have enlarged the icons multiple times and reflashed the zip. No matter how much I enlarge the size of the icon pngs themselves, Android continues to keep the images the same size in my navbar.

I'm assuming there's an xml file somewhere that sets a concrete size allotted for these icons. Does anyone know which file sets these values?

Also, I'm on 8.1 Dev preview opp6.

**EDIT**

After some reading and browsing through the decompiled systemuigoogle, it looks like the answer to my problem may be in res/layout/navigation_bar.xml. These tiny icons are so annoying to look at!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Pain-N-Panic:
Well with the help of [MENTION=5346465]Tulsadiver[/MENTION], i had to modify back.xml, recent_apps.xml, home.xml and dimens.xml in order to change the size of the navbar icons.

The scaling is nothing more than padding added to the icons that was not present in earlier versions of android. Shrink the navbar you must also adjust the padding or the original padding, top and bottom push against the icons making them smaller.
