[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] fuako:
Also have this problem... On my fresh 5t getting 0.65Mbps down constantly compared to my moto x 100Mbps down on home network. Tried factory resetting already still getting the same 'capped' speed of 0.6ish. But for some reason the upload is unaffected.

Edit1: Turning on airplane mode increases downloads to about 30mbps, taking out the sim card with airplane mode off still gets less than 1mbps.

Edit2: I think i may of fixed it... changing my routers (c6300) output power from 100%->75% seemed to allow my 5t to get higher speeds about 40-50 mbps. Changing to 50% power gets speeds to about 66mbps. Still not max speeds but at least I can use it now. Changing to 5ghz also allows 5t to get max speeds 100mbps-ish down.

Thinking about possibly trying an aftermarket HU in my 2015 Chevy Cruze LTZ. I thought about just doing a double din but it would sit below my factory 7" screen which would be sort of lame.

I started looking into android head units and came across Car Navi Player. They say they are completely plug and play but almost seems to good to be true.

Does anyone have any experience with these?
[Android Head-Units] Jstyants:
Yep, I bought s190 from them about a month ago for my smart ForFour

Plug and play

DHL tracked delivery

Any contact is replied back literally within minutes

I ordered, cancelled because I thought I bought the wrong one, refunded with no questions asked , then ordered again and it was as smooth as butter

I paid £24 import and tax duty

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

Oh, and I also showed them a link to the same headunit at alliexpress which was with free postage

They then put thier unit up with free postage too and emailed me about the update

If you search ForFour GPS on Thier site, I gave them pictures of the unit installed in my car, and it is exactly as they advertised
[Android Head-Units] waverz:
Thanks for the reply!

Any issues or bugs that you have noticed?

I've been reading reviews about other brands and it seems some are plauged with issues of flakey sofware.

Nope not for me, but I only use it for sat nav and radio, I've not tried any weird and wonderful XDA apps or whatever

I have installed Smarty trend head unit, and it was really plugged and play in my case. I think all depends on the car.
[Android Head-Units] giulianoseguro:
I bought from them as well. In my case it was for a Hyundai Santa Fe. The transaction was seamless. Fast response, product as described. Totally plug-n-play in my case. If you have the time, shop around because their price is not always the cheaper. I've found the same units on aliexpress for less. I bought from them because I thought they were US-based but they're in China so it's the same as buying from any other supplier. Their customer service is indeed pretty good compared to most chinese sellers.
[Android Head-Units] Jstyants:
Same with me, I asked CarNaviPlayer if they could match it along with the free P&P the AliExpress offered, and they did
[Android Head-Units] autoalex:
It is Germany company with production in China, they are saying so at their website, and that is not a secret. The quality is better than the one from Ali. I have such before the Smarty Trend and can definitely say that Smarty worth its money.
[Android Head-Units] waverz:
The problem with the Smarty Trend models is they mount below my factory touch screen. I was looking for a direct replacement.
[Android Head-Units] autoalex:
What did you mean? I have had a direct replacement, the factory head unit was fully replaced.
[Android Head-Units] pcampos:
I purchased from them in within 24 hours of install the touch screen would no longer work and they aren't providing info on how to return it. I would stay away.
[Nook Touch General] aiamuzz:
Hello,

The default 'Library' app on a NST & NST(G) ... is equipped to read pdf and epub files by default and list them out inside it.

As we already know the pdf files are not viewed best in the device's default reader app. The default library launches a pdf book into the default reader app.

I would like to know if somehow we can disable the library app from populating(picking-up) pdf files/books inside its library. This way i hope to get rid of pdf book entries from my default library.

is there some setting file for the default library app where we can uncheck pdf file format from its compatibility list ?

wouldn't it be nice to have a library full of only epub books ? would surely make our default library sparkling clean.

All Credit to [MENTION=4474482]Renate NST[/MENTION] ... for successfully accomplishing this idea to lighten up the default library app in our NST&G's ... to anybody who is interested in this ... can follow the steps found HERE

thanks for looking.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Not entirely sure about the Glowlight interface, but on the Library screen for the NST there is a drop-down menu option for displaying "all" or "books" or "shelves", etc. If you choose either "books" or "shelves" you will not see PDF files (unless you've included them in a shelf). That may be the easiest thing to do.

Installing a dedicated PDF reader will still give you access to any PDFs you may have via that app's user interface.
[Nook Touch General] aiamuzz:
[MENTION=5562185]nmyshkin[/MENTION] ... good work man ... you've kept our dinosaur of a device alive by your participation and chatter(enthusiasm) ... the community owes you among ... the many others who have from time to time kept the activity around our devices alive this far.

Yeah i am aware of the "all", "books" or "shelves" categorizations ... currently i use the shelves to minimize the cluttered library with the pdf's littered around without much use there as the nook reader is not the best reader for pdf's.

The reason i hope the PDF's do not show up even in the "All" category is because i have a lot of PDF's on my memory card, they all get populated in the default library app and unnecessarily increase the painful number of pages one has to flip through to get to a particular epub ebook burried under it.

If this could be achieved then ... preferred app per format would be ...

mobi format : Kindle

epub format : nook reader (without the clutter of the PDF files in its library)

pdf format :

ebookdroid - for a clean page flip reading experience of a fixed width PDF layout.

AVP pdf reader - for a magazine(multi-column) layout

... where double tapping a particular column in both, zooms in on the content to a readable size.

just hoping the PDF format could be unchecked from the default library app all together.

PS : i remember having the 'reboot' and 'recovery' options besides the 'power off' option before i reconfigured my NSTG lately, i just forgot how to enable the same back, Would appreciate if somebody could jog my memory on how to re-enable it back.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Power menu mod: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2171818

Can you tell me the version number for AVP PDF reader?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
There are two different things here:

The first is the preferred activity for .pdf (or .epub or anything).

That's a question of whether you have another app to support it and whether you selected it in the picker.

The second thing is whether the Nook library notices and records .pdf items.

It's been a long time since I used any of the stock Nook library or reader.

In the NST, you could modify com.bn.nook.util.ReaderUtils.isSupportedFormat() to report false for pdf.

I believe that you would have to resign your whole system as the old Nook used sharedIds instead of priv-app

In the latest Nook (Glow3), you could modify com.nook.scanner.ScannerService.isNookSupported() to report false for pdf.

You could also just hack the database to delete all the pdfs.

An After Insert Trigger would do the job.

Unfortunately, I have no populated B&N databases to demonstrate this.
[Nook Touch General] aiamuzz:
thanks [MENTION=4474482]Renate NST[/MENTION] ...

Yup i am looking at the second option where the library does not notice pdf files ...

will reporting 'com.bn.nook.util.ReaderUtils.isSupportedFormat()' as false, render the library unable to record pdf files ?

If so ... a noob instruction set ... on how one could go about reporting the ...isSupportFormat to false ?

and about hacking the database to delete all the pdf's ... we will have carry out the deleting exercise everytime one adds new pdf files or reboots the nook ... that would be cumbersome.

look forward to the sought instruction set to report supported format as false ...

thanks.
[Nook Touch General] aiamuzz:
thanks for the link ... [MENTION=5562185]nmyshkin[/MENTION] ...

I am using version 2 versions ...

</map>

any values to be modified here to disable PDF file type ?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
My guess is no. The values in my file are slightly different and I'd hazard a guess that these apply to the current state of the drop-down menus in the library.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
No, a trigger would act on the insert automatically and delete or disable it immediately.

The other approach to modify the code, try using apktool.

I know that it's a bit cumbersome to rebuild apk's, but you might find it a useful skill to learn.

apktool d whatever.apk
<modify something>
apktool b whatever.apk
<sign using jarsigner and your signature>

Unfortunately, you have an NST which requires resigning *everything*.
[Nook Touch General] aiamuzz:
hmmmm ... looks way above my pay grade currently ... reverse engineering an apk that is !!!

PS : I have decompiled the library app and extracted the java source codes ... i tried to read the smali files and java files ... shortlisted two files that could possibly hold the key to accomplish the desired functionality ... but that's about it ... i currently do not possess the skill to modify and rebuild the Library apk. I can post the smali files if anybody wants to help modify the relevant parts of code.
[Nook Touch General] aiamuzz:
Could a more detail instruction on how to attempt the database hack ... possible ?

thanks
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, let's try an easy test first.

I fired up my old NST to take a look.

I don't have the B&N reader or library on it, so I don't know if this will do the job.

Try this:

# cd /data/data/com.bn.nook.reader.activities/databases
# ls
...
readerlocal.db
...
# sqlite3 readerlocal.db
sqlite> select ean from readerlocal where ean like '%.pdf';
... <bunches of pdf files>
sqlite> delete from readerlocal where ean like '%.pdf';
sqlite> .q
#

Then do a restart and see if the stuff is missing from the library and how long it takes B&N to put it all back.

If this clears it out of the library, fine, we can work on the automatic trigger.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
This seemed to be working at the time of execution (although there is no feedback when files are "deleted"?), but it did not list all PDF files. I recently downloaded a copy of the newspaper in PDF form and that is in the Library. This was not listed by sqlite. Instead, long gone items were listed.

In any case, when I exited and rebooted, the newspaper was still in the Library (or "back"). When I was writing the book cover "screensaver" app, there was another db besides readerlocal which seemed to contain similar info but I've forgotten what it was.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, then it's just using the regular MediaScanner.

If you hack that then a PDF viewer that relies on it may not enumerate PDF's.

Of course you can still select a PDF in a file manager and open it in your viewer.

As I said, I have neither a B&N Reader nor B&N assets on any of my devices.

Ok, try this one:

# cd /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases
# sqlite3 internal.db
sqlite> select _data from docs;
...
sqlite> select _data from docs where _data like '%.pdf';
...
sqlite> update docs set valid=0 where _data like '%.pdf';
sqlite> .q
#
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
OK, so this listed the entire library contents, including the one current PDF file. I guess it also accepted the final command (no feedback), but when I rebooted, the PDF was still (or back) in the Library. I also checked the Library just before rebooting and the PDF was still there.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Yeah, I was just trying to see if the B&N stuff paid attention to the "valid" column, apparently not.

OTOH, if you only have one PDF, why is this such an issue???

# cd /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases
# sqlite3 internal.db
sqlite> delete from docs where _data like '%.pdf';
sqlite> .q
#
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
LOL, actually, I'm not the OP! But I was curious to see if such a manipulation was possible. I still think it is simplest to just choose the display "Books" or "Shelves" in the Library. That way you don't see PDFs unless you specifically put them on a shelf. Meanwhile your dedicated PDF app can be directed to the PDF files.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
This instruction removes the PDF file from the Library immediately, or as fast as I can get there after closing the terminal window.

The PDF file reappears in the Library on reboot, as you might expect. Like I said, I think it's just simpler to choose a Library display option that excludes PDF files. Something by Emerson regarding a foolish consistency :)
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, the (artifical) constraints on this were to do it without modifying the apk.

CREATE TRIGGER no_pdfs AFTER INSERT ON docs BEGIN DELETE FROM docs WHERE _data LIKE '%.pdf'; END;

That's it, put it in your database.
[Nook Touch General] aiamuzz:
Wow ... some activity ... sorry i didn't get an email on the updates to the thread ... i must not've enabled the alerting mechanisms to this thread.

[B [MENTION=4474482]Renate NST[/MENTION] ...[/B] you always come through when it comes to our device, the NST !!!

[B [MENTION=5562185]nmyshkin[/MENTION] ...[/B] thanks for attempting the instructions in my absence ...

ok ... i ran the tests on my pdf burdened device ...

from the instruction i read above ...

# cd /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases
# sqlite3 internal.db
sqlite> update docs set valid=0 where _data like '%.pdf';

seems to list all the pdf entries in the database "internal.db"

&

sqlite> delete from docs where _data like '%.pdf';

delete's pdf entries in the database ... as [MENTION=5562185]nmyshkin[/MENTION] confirmed ... the above command successfully deletes all pdf entries ...

i had 700+ pdf's in my library ... after the above command the Library populates only about 120 files now !!!

sadly a reboot ... and ... the pdf entries are getting populated ... 508 showing in library ... !!!

Is that(TRIGGER) ... the line of code to be run directly inside sqlite prompt ?

------------ edit ----------

i ran the create trigger command ... and yoo hoo ... my library app just got lighter by 600+ files ... feels so light !!!

thanks a ton [MENTION=4474482]Renate NST[/MENTION] ... can't thank you enough !!!
[Nook Touch General] aiamuzz:
Ok ... all credit to [MENTION=4474482]Renate NST[/MENTION] ...

As we all know that the default Library app on our NST&G by default supports EPUB and PDF format books. We also know that the NST&G default reader app is not the best reader when it comes to reading a pdf file for the lack of the ability to zoom in on the PDF's rendering its content unreadable.

The default Library app populates(picks-up) all epub and pdf books in its library, as a result there is a mountain of entries in the library under which the epub files are buried. Another big problem is that we cannot distinguish between the 2 file types in the library view, the only way to know is by opening a file. All this is cumbersome anyways, but given that our devices are e-readers with the e-ink screen refreshes and delays, it compounds the problem manifold.

Hence i always felt over burdened to browse the library and read an EPUB book of choice ...

1. it was buried under a mountain of PDF entries in the library(I had about 600+ pdf's reflecting in the library) sitting there for no reason and overburdening my reading experience(locate an epub book and start reading).

2. there was no way of knowing which one was an EPUB book.

given the above i had no option but to consult our friendly 'nook_Oracle' ... the wise owl from this community ... with no surprises here ... she always comes all trumps to noobs like me(with her simple instruction set) ... as well as to the tech wizards by pointing them in the right direction.

If anybody else want to clear up un wanted PDF entries from the default library app and show only EPUB's in it follow the instructions below ...

adb shell
cd /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases
sqlite3 internal.db
sqlite> Select _data From docs where _data like '%.pdf';
sqlite> Select Count(*) From docs where _data like '%.pdf';
sqlite> delete from docs where _data like '%.pdf';
sqlite> CREATE TRIGGER no_pdfs AFTER INSERT ON docs BEGIN DELETE FROM docs WHERE _data LIKE '%.pdf'; END;
sqlite> .q
adb reboot

Enjoy the optimized experience with NST&G's default Library and Reader app !!!

Just love my NSTG !!!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Actually, the "Update" and "Delete" were only experiments.

You just need the "CREATE TRIGGER".
[Nook Touch General] aiamuzz:
:) ... i know i kept it there bcos we noobs will get to see what is happening(see some action happening) ...

the command ...

sqlite> update docs set valid=0 where _data like '%.pdf';

displays the PDF's currently burdening their library.

sqlite> delete from docs where _data like '%.pdf';

deletes the entries from the database ... making the last reboot command optional !!!

:)
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Erm... you're quite correct.

If you only add the Trigger you'll need to wait until a PDF is added before all the PDF's will be deleted!

However, the Update command is still useless.

If you want to check how many PDF's you have before you kill them then you need either of these (one lists the PDF's one doesn't).

Select Count(*) From docs where _data like '%.pdf';
Select _data From docs where _data like '%.pdf';
[Nook Touch General] aiamuzz:
thanks ... updated the instruction set ... post !!!

even i felt something was off with the Update command ... bcos it listed the pdf's only the first time ... it did not return anything after the device was rebooted though the library populated the PDF books.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
This turns out to be incredibly simple and I don't know why I never thought of it until now.

The B&N Library scan recognizes a ".nomedia" file whereas other readers such as EBookDroid and PerfectViewer do not.

So...put all your PDFs in their own folder and add a ".nomedia" file to it (just create an empty file with the name ".nomedia"). The folder can be inside My Files or inside Books or really anywhere you want on the sdcard or in /media. The Library will not see the files but you can tell your PDF reader to look there for content :)

"remote: unknown command" the only way to root or install TWRP on the H918 (and most V20 models except the unlocked US996) is the DirtySanta exploit, and unfortunately it's impossible to rollback recent T-Mobile and Sprint firmware to the vulnerable version.
