[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ILoveLamp2234:
I am having a hard time finding apps in the Play Store (Example: Pinterest) and was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same? I've tried all of googles troubleshooting steps including deleting cache and uninstalling updates. Signing out and back into google, along with a reset under settings. LG told me that I would have to send my phone in to check for hardware problems.

I can find the apps when I google search them. When I click the information tile to install, a blank window appears saying "Retry". When it goes to open the app in the play store from google search, it says "This device is not compatible with this version". But if I go to search and download the APK from a mirror site with the same version number it installs fine. So I can still access the apps, it's just very tedious.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Have you changed your DPI or anything?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ILoveLamp2234:
Nope, the most I've messed with as far as settings go is animation scaling. I went to look for Pinterest again in the app store and it's there with an update.... But I still can't download Groupon, Tinder and a few others yet. Could it be the apps don't support the V30 screen ratio yet or? I'm a noob when it comes to all of this, it's been like this though since I first got it in October. Kind of annoying that it works when I finally ask someone:eek:. Thanks for the quick reply!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Groupon, Tinder come up for me fine in Google Play. I don't know what to tell you. Something is wonky with your Google Play app?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ILoveLamp2234:
Yeah I guess I will just have to keep checking back for either updates to the app or to see if more apps eventually pop up. I'm really enjoying the phone otherwise and don't wanna wait the two weeks for them to look it over and tell me that I just have to wait for an update. I've updated to the most recent Google play store app via mirror site. So we shall see, thanks again for your help! :good:
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Before now, were you using a Google Play app from a mirror site?

If so, the mirror site apk may be your problem. Those are usually coded for either specific DPI or "all", which may not be what our phones require.

Just throwing out ideas...

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ILoveLamp2234:
I had to force a manual update of the play store! The apps are now there. I had downloaded the play store from a mirror and used it to see if that would work. When it didn't, I reset my play store as suggested in the google trouble shooting settings. But the store is updating now and all apps that weren't appearing, now are! Here's what it was on before, and what it updated too. IDK why a forced time and date update didn't jumpstart it but oh well it's fixed haha.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Wahoux:
Hello,

I just noticied that it seems that Mi Mix 2 doesn't support APTX HD, with my bluetooth headphone and his apps, when i switch to APTX HD, the music cuts every seconds... Whereas no issue when it's on SBC...

Just, WTF?! how it is possible that a supposed flagship don't even has APTX? no headphone jack and no APTX?! are they joking?

It's possible to add the APTX HD codec to our device?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] marmin:
Google just sent me an rma label without me asking, does this mean my phone is definitely faulty or that they can't be bothered?

Has anyone returned theirs, do they just replace with a brand new one, recondition yours or send a reconditioned one?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] browniegirl:
At this point it should be a brand new device. Did you do advanced or standard rma?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] danlat1415:
What do you mean they sent you one without asking?

Did they randomly send you an email or did you raise an issue with your phone?

I've recently done mine.

I contacted Google via Chat on their warranty website.

They then asked me to email them a picture of my phone with the fault (burn in).

They then asked for another photo of the phone with the original box showing the IMEI number, or the receipt if I didn't have the box.

They then sent me another email saying they can agree to a replacement (I didn't ask for a replacement, just told them I had issues), and they emailed me an RMA label.

Because I bought my phone from a third party seller (not Google Store) they only do standard return, meaning they have to wait for my device to be returned before they send out a replacement.

You send them JUST the phone, no accessories or original box.

They then send you a brand new replacement, retail boxed with all new accessories.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] marmin:
I contacted on help site like you to discuss problems with intermittent sound through headphones and like you they just sent a label without asking.

How long did it take to get new phone?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] marmin:
What's the difference? I'm guessing standard seeing as I didn't ask for it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] danlat1415:
If you buy from Google they can do Advanced exchange, where they send you a replacement FIRST, then you send your old one back within 21 days or they charge you for it (because they have your payment details).

Standard is usually if you bought from anyone other than Google directly. You send them your old one and they then despatch a new one as soon as they acknowledge receipt.

Should take about 5 working days altogether, from the day you post yours back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] marmin:
Sadly, got it from EE. Just had an email from Google saying I can try EE first if I want. Next issue is if theres a delay as I have the panda and it looks like there is a bit of a shortage of these.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] danlat1415:
I'd highly recommend going Google's exchange, not EE's.

EE phone are the only UK company to lock this phone to that network. It is a small software trick done via Google. Google will auto unlock the device after 2 years - but you can request this from EE after 6 months from the date it's first used.

Also, the bootloader is locked (oem unlocking greyed out in developer settings) - so again, everything is locked down.

Whilst this may not be an issue to most people, those who want to fix things themselves, change network (or sell their phone as unlocked when Pixel 3 comes out), or just play around with custom software, cannot do it on EE.

EE is the UK's version of Verizon....

If you use Google's exchange, they'll swap it for a Google Unlocked version in the UK.

Mine was from EE - I'm so glad I didn't use EE for the exchange, not very good customer service and would have had to wait for stock.

Google have separate stock for exchanges - so even if you have a Panda, you'll get it quicker than someone buying a new one off their Store and having a wait time.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] applehater00:
From wondamobile, Chinese version has ALPL29-C636 ROM in it so it will work in UK and has 6GB.

International version presumably has the correct ROM in it already I assume without any changing needed. It is £100 cheaper but it only has 4GB.

Which should I get?

I'm assuming the international version with the correct ROM already in it from stock might be more reliable than a Chinese one which has had its ROM changed? Is this true or will it not matter? I do prefer the 6GB of the Chinese version even if though it's dearer.

I have a Chinese Mate 9 with 6GB RAM and it's incredibly quick. However annoyingly the network settings don't work anymore and I'm not sure if this is because the ROM was changed to an international version or if it's just a dud phone.

ANy advice appreciated
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] LuanTeles:
Hey guys

this is my first time using MUIU

I brought a MI MAX 2 from a guy that i met during an event.

He told me that he doent remember the password and brought another phone

as i know about twrp and blabla

i brought it with a low price, but i'm able to bypass the mi account but since i get online it locks. (Now i'm thinking its stole)

i was able to go to dev options and enable OEM Unlock and USB DEBUG.

with this can i flash twrp? or something to get rid off the miui account?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] JohnTheFarm3r:
The whole purpose of bootloader and the Mi Account is to keep your phone safe. So, without Mi Account, you can't unlock the bootloader and vice versa. EDIT: Also, he doesn't remember the password is completely stupid, becuase when you create a Mi account you need a mobile phone number and E-mail, so you can approve your account, and also in case of somehow magicaly loosing the password, you can recover it by using the data you provide while creating an account.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] LuanTeles:
but since i have OEM UNLOCK option means that my bootloader is unlocked?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] ondoy1943:
to be sure if the phone is unlocked, check the phone while it is rebooting. if you see the word "unlocked" at the center/bottom part of the phone, then you're in luck, but otherwise, then no go for twrp.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] JohnTheFarm3r:
No, it doesn't. As already a member wrote to you, you would have "Unlocked" word, under the logo when you turn on your phone. IF that is a case, than your phone is unlocked already, if there is nothing, then sorry.

Huawei Widevine restriction on HD streaming

I've emailed Huawei about this but will need to send back so that I can get refund and buy another device - Hi, just updated my tablet to Huawei M3 (from Nexus 7 2013). The hardware and resolution is quite high-end but I can't stream Netflix in HD! This link seems to explain why:

https://www.xda-developers.com/android-netflix-hd-amazon-prime-video-hd-drm/amp/

I've been streaming Netflix HD for years with the Nexus 7 and when I run the app 'DRM Info' on my old Nexus it confirms it supports Level 1 Widevine DRM and thus provides genuine HD playback.

However, Netflix on the new Huawei M3 is restricted at 480p and the picture quality is very poor compared to the Nexus 7. DRM Info app confims it is restricted to L3 widevine. There appears to be no workaround until Huawei provide a firmware update.

Other video content like BBC iPlayer HD is also restricted and someone also mentioned Amazon HD is also restricted.

I'm not keen on Apple or Samsung and try to support other manufacturers but it's really disappointing that 5 years after I bought my Nexus 7 my new M3 tablet is held back by Huawei.

There is also feedback on forums that the new huawei M5 is also restricted in the same way, so that route is closed as well.

I'm still within the return period so I'm going to return it and really have to do my homework before I buy another tablet. Anyone got any ideas for 8 inch android high spec approx £300 with L1 widevine?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Akopps:
Bwahaha. I am sure they will listen to us.

PS: this is why I am still keeping my old Samsung Tab S 10.5. It may be slow and has crappy speakers, but at least it still plays Netflix in HD on its QHD AMOLED screen.

Is anyone having issues using video on their camera and on the oreo beta? I didnt test video out before upgrading to oreo, but I am unable to record video with the stock camera app or the google camera apk. Is anyone on oreo and able to use video? Photos works no fine, wondering if its the beta or my device.

The stock camera app gives the following error when trying to record:

"could not start recording please make sure there is no other recording application"

The google apk just crashes ad says:

"Unable to connect to camera"

Thanks!

When you try to record in the Google camera app it cannot record and you cannot use the stock app anymore until a reboot. Just do a reboot and don't use the Google cam app on Oreo. it is too buggy.

Hi, i recently got my HTC KAISER,

unfortunately, the case that came with it to me is terrible, until now because of it, the phone fell from my hand 2 times until now. i have a feeling that the hinge is a bit loose from the screen. does anyone know how to tighten it back to the screen? from the right hand side there is about 2mm gap, and it makes a sound when i touch the screen since it hits the back.

any help, is appreciated.. esp if they are productive.

Thnx in advance:(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ronfin44:
How can we help fix it if it was dropped? You didn't even provide any pics of it and I highly doubt we can help you. If its damaged its damaged, and your only course of action is to take it back and see if its under warranty and cross your fingers. I wish you the best of luck and hope someone can repair it for you. As far as the case I totally know how flimsy they are.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jon_k:
What does this have to do with XDA development?

Try the ATT wireless forums. This forum is for development.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Boinng:
what a couple of unhelpful posts, have we no mercy? this forum is full of topics that are 100% kaiser but 0% development, why are you picking on the poor guy with the (possibly) broken phone? and why direct him to some AT&T forum when he's already said it's an HTC branded phone? if you're going to kick a man when he's down, at least read his post properly first.

to the op: I feel your pain. in my first couple of weeks with the kaiser I must have dropped mine a dozen times, I think it's something to do with the extra weight. anyway, I too had some issues with the screen afterward - at one point their was a definite gap between the screen and keyboard as you described. I really noticed it and worried at first, but after a few days use and pocketwear, I found it pretty much closed up by itself. similiarly, i've found times where the top half of the phone has become misaligned to the left or right, so it overhangs slightly - this can be cured with a gentle but firm push the other way. I think the whole mechanism has been designed with a bit of give in it, so it can take odd knock without shattering, but still be nudged back into place without any real damage done. My advice - keep using it, slide and tilt it a few dozen times, and see if it falls back into shape. if it doesn't, try a firm but gentle push in the right direction, and if *that* doesn't work then take it back. but don't take any nonsense in the shop - insist on a warranty repair.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ronfin44:
What are you talking about? I was blunt and straight to the point with the op. I told him we can't do anything and where he needs to go. I'm not gonna hold someones hand and tell them everything is gonna be fine and there's light at the end of the tunnel. He made a thread with NO pics to even show us what is going on so are we suppose to guess? :rolleyes:

You don't have to be a customer of ATT forums to post there. The Kaiser design and the Tilt design are identical except for logos and the front cam.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jacky312:
Thnx for the support

Thnx for all of the support until now....

i am begining to accept the fact that i can bear the hinge problem which might not be a problem since the aligning is ok slightly loose, but today in the morning, i noticed that after the fall, the "start" button of the keyboard is sticking out, is there anyway to stick.fix it back in like the rest of the keys (something similar to the laptop buttons, by pushing it in, in a way??)

thnx for all of the support.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] grizzley:
There is a thread around here some where that has a ZIP or a link to a PDF file that shows you how to take the phone apart. The reson for the PDF was to show you how to make the screen tilt even more than what it does stock. Search for it, I dont have the link, but I have seen it and read it on these forums.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jacky312:

any ideas concerning the keyboard problem?

The start is not in its place no more, it is somewhat hanging...

plssss help...

thnx
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ronfin44:
As am I. Again. We're not mind readers. If you have a hardware problem you post pics and point-out exactly what's wrong so people can trouble shoot it. Take it to at&t like the first post suggested. I think a few of you need a cab that installs common sense before you post. :rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
The dismantling guide that Grizzley refers to is available here (Tonychen's guide):www.mikechannon.net (in the manuals section)

To the posters that don't like the OPs post:

If the post had been made in the Upgrading Forum then I would join you in saying this is not a development or upgrading matter. However the post was made in the regular Kaiser section and is therefore a completely legitimate post. In fact, we have a tradition of trying to help those that want to dis-assemble their device for whatever reason. Even if they don't, but just need more info on the mechanics of the device then that is ok too. Thinking of the TyTn/Hermes, a fix was found for the loose keyboard problem via dismantling procedures and physical examination of the device. Problems can be physical as well as software related, so don't be too narrowly focused in this general Kaiser forum.

I do agree with those that say you must give full details and pics if at all possible with this kind of problem, otherwise we are left guessing and possibly wasting time suggesting things that maybe inappropriate.

Mike
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jacky312:
Pictures are here

Here are the pics...

look at the "start" button, it is not completely removed, it is hanging on like this....

look at the gap from the right hand side (Power + camera button side) is bigger that the gap from the sim slot side, therefore generating a plastic tap sound when pressing on the screen from the right side. as you can see in the pics, the gap is bigger than the paper clip size.

any suggestions for reducing the gap, and fixing the "Start" button?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jacky312:
any suggestions?????

help would be appreciated!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ronfin44:
Ok, after seeing what's wrong you def need to take it back to the store you bought it from. Ask them if they can sen it out for repair. They'l most likely give ya a temp phone til it comes back. Now, it's probably not gonna be covered for obvious reasons, however, it might be cheaper to have them repair it rather than buy another one. Worst case scenario you could replace it with a refurb. Refurbs are excellent and some you can't tell if they're refurbs to be honest. Cost is approx $149, plus shipping. Let us know what they say when you take it back.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jacky312:

jon_k's post was over 20 days ago, and he's already been corrected by a mod. Before this gets out of hand, let me remind you to not feed the trolls!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shthpnz:
With the help of the link above you will be prepared to open the Kaiser. OK, you have to have the tools mentioned and do take a deep breath before you start, but as soon as you start the process is simple. Print out the photo's and write on the paper the colour and type of the screws you removed.

The glued on case above the battery compartment is the meanest of them all to remove and thats where you start with. So when that is done in about 5 minutes you can discover the buttons from the inside and in 10 minutes you come to the hinges where you find a total of four philips screws to tighten.

Beware for one thing though. The black plate which holds the slider system is held by six torx screws. Check them too, but don't tighten them too much or you will end up with a broken screw. Guess how I know:o
