[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] Freacky24:
Hey,

I'm rather new to EMUI and recently got a P10 Plus.

My problem: https://imgur.com/a/8yGBK

In some Huawei default apps there is a grey missing image placeholder in the background. Is this a known bug?
[General Questions and Answers] ZippyDan:
macOS has LinkLiar

Windows has tons of free utilities (one example: Technitium Mac Address Changer)

Is there any simple, easy, free, non-bloated utility for spoofing MAC ID on a rooted Android phone?

I travel a lot and sometimes I run across WiFi APs that limit your access to X minutes, usually based on MAC ID, especially in airports. Would like to be prepared to circumvent this if necessary.
[General Questions and Answers] Ashwinrg:
I think spoofing WiFi Mac id is illegal and not allowed on xda
[General Questions and Answers] ZippyDan:
1. Spoofing MAC IDs is definitely NOT illegal, unless you are in North Korea, I guess.

2. The idea that a forum dedicated to, essentially, hacking mainstream cell phones and tablets with custom software would have some problem with spoofing MAC IDs seems laughable.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
It is banned here as it violates the tos of many companies. It has been banned here as long a changing the imei is banned. Meaning for ever.
[General Questions and Answers] ZippyDan:
Well, banned from this forum is certainly possible, but that is different from being illegal.

It still seems silly, to me, that a forum dedicated to circumventing all kinds of phone security would be worried about violating TOS. There are many phones on these forums here that do not allow rooting, or bootloader unlocking, and yet tools have been developed to do both things, and much more. Is that not also against TOS?

I'm not convinced that MAC ID spoofing is banned from XDA, or else why would this 1.5 year-old thread still be allowed to exist? https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-root-change-mac-spoof-wifi-mac-t3394540

I also can understand why changing IMEI would be banned from the forums. Changing an IMEI would allow people to circumvent carrier security, worldwide - specifically allowing people to get around IMEI blacklists, which are largely put in place to disincentivize the theft of cell phones. This is a worthwhile endeavor.

On the other hand, spoofing a MAC ID would never allow you to do anything more than circumvent the security of a LOCAL WiFi network.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
It's there because no one caught it.

You can think what ever you want but thost that could help with this won't because it's not allowed. It's hasn't been allowed for decades.

There is a lot more you can do but that is not for these forums.

Really it surprises you? You might want to look around. Xda picks and chooses what tos and laws they are worried about breaking. I know I was part of the team that got the info for it to be banned from the site.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] AyoubK:
Hello,

I have been trying to find an answer to my question or a solution but all the results I found on XDA are Snapdragon model oriented.

My question is about changing the CSC just to be able to receive OTA updates faster ( I don't want Samsung Pay ..) . I aleady know that the product code is hardcoded into the phone I just need to change last three letters of the CSC.

My rom is part of the OXM multi-CSC rom, I flashed it and tried the famous code to change the CSC region but no results so far. I also do not have any other sim card to trick the phone after factory reset.

Could anyone please help ? has anyone been able to change CSC via odin ?

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] AyoubK:
Can anyone help please ? is my question a little bit confusing ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
Changing CSCs isn't possible without root or without a local SIM card from the country whose CSC you want to use.

If you're so eager to get faster updates, just flash them with HOME_CSC_OXM as they are released, you won't lose your data and you'll be on the latest OXM builds as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] AyoubK:
Thank you for the answer :)
[HTC One S] gregor.samsa:
Hi there.

What RUU do I need? On androidruu.com either the baseband or the bootloader version doesn't match.

CID: T-MOB010

Bootloader: 2.15.0000

Baseband: 1.13.50.05.31

Main: 3.14.531.17

Model-ID: PJ4011000

ComitNO-Bootloader: dirty-64bedd38

Right now I'm on (unofficial) Cyanogenmod 12.1 with TWRP. What are the steps to get back to stock? Relocking the bootloader, installing stock recovery and running the RUU.exe file?

Thank you.
[HTC One S] Flippy498:
Look for your current firmware version (highlighted in bold) in the RUU names. All RUU names contain the firmware version they're made for. If there is no RUU with that version you can try to find one with a higher version but the same SKU (the number I highlighted in red). If you aren't able to find a newer RUU, either, you might consider using Llabtoofer's RUU Service. Alternatively, you might want to get S-OFF with either Facepalm, Rumrunner or Moonshine so that you're able to flash older RUUs for your SKU, as well. Be aware that these old methods aren't as reliable as Sunshine (which gets used on newer HTC phones). You will most likely need to start several tries before one of them sets your phone S-OFF. I don't know whether Sunshine can be used on the One S, too.

Only relocking is needed (and that only if your phone is S-ON). The stock recovery gets installed by the RUU.

Edit: Looks like there's a suitable RUU, here. Make sure that you read this post if the flashing fails due to error 171. In addition, you might want to boot your One S to fastboot USB mode before you execute the RUU. If I remember correctly, RUUs for the One S tend to fail if you don't do so.
[Wileyfox Swift] YorkshireGrilla:
Hi all, the wifes wileyfox swift has just developed AI. All of a sudden there is no keyboard, whenever you go to type anything, an icon pops up with google tap to talk?

This does not work, you can't close it or do anything. I have managed to disable it from appearing by forcing google apps to stop, however, there is still no keyboard???

Was thinking of a factory reset and so connected it to the pc, then we have the USB problem whereby the pc won't see the files.

Can't see dveloper options in the settings menu, there is no connectivity icon at the top of the screen to enable this. In settings, when usb tethering is turned on the pc no longer sees the phone at all.

Need to get her pictures off.

TIA

Al.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Emy12:
I noticed some noise, not software relating, whenever I leave it on table, bed or something else, ( I do not throw it) I noticed a slightly noise coming from camera and sensor area. I thought that the side volume button, which is a bit loose, does the noise, but I pressed both of them an the noise is there.

If I tap slightly on camera/sensor corner I can hear some kind of like something is loose inside of it.

Has anyone noticed? Or has the same problem?

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
Probably the phone vibration motor. I noticed it too, mainly when I put my phone down on hard surface. It was more or less present on my previous phones too, so I guess it's normal.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Emy12:
Thanks for reply. I thought that in might comes from the lens.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
You are right, noise comes from around the lenses. I've just checked the tear down photos and vibration motor is located near the usb port on the opposite side. So...I don't know what could be the reason :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] matcho13579:
The sound is due to the Camera Lens Barrel required to operate the Auto Focus function. So basically, there are moving parts in the lenses, which are adjusting focus depending on how far the object is from your phone so the pictures are sharp.

Camera module is fitted with a “Stopper” to limit the Lens Unit movement within the space for the Camera module. When the Lens and Stopper touch, when shaking the phone, a slight noise may occur.

That means it's perfectly normal :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Emy12:
I was not wrong thinking about Camera Lens. :)

Thanks for making clear and detailed explication.

mr. chenrp. i will answer the relevent questions only here because ur question 'what is a stickies ?' just seems as if u r trying tell us u r really a noob.

cos' a person new at forums will rather not use the word 'noob' as most forums use this word for beginners.

you are also a member of many many forums relating to symbian, hardware, nokia etc. and u still tell us u don't know what a 'sticky' is.

sorry for that...lets move on.

there is no wm5 or wm6 for ur ppc till date.

ur current os is wm2003se or (windows mobile 2003 second edition)

if its working properly and on top of that u r new to these things- i would suggest u stick with whatever you have right now or most probably you will render your device unusable (as such there is almost no scope for getting anything better on ur magician)

hope this made things clear.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BEDBOI2:
I had my phone on airplane mode, I changed temporarily my password from my pc, I put again my true password, I re-enabled wifi on the phone, which warned me of recent changes on the account, I used my password + 2FA: there's still the warning and Android isn't connected!

Then I used Chrome from phone to login into my account and it worked, infact I can see in "recently used device" the phone being in use, but Android is still not connected!

More info:

I'm on Android 4.4.4 (pls no bully), Playservice 11.9.51 (0.38-177350961);

initially I changed the password to safely use Android-x86.org (specifically: "CM-x86 14.1" version), on which I used my account disabling any backup setting AFAIK; quitting that I re-enabled my "true" password, but at first it didn't let me use it because it was recently used, so as suggested elsewhere I changed it 100(!) times (google remembers the last 100 psw used and it won't let you use them anymore);

since then I restarted the phone, and one whole night has passed, but still no luck;

then I changed the password to a never used one and now here I am (I can login on Chrome from my phone, and also on my pc);

the texts I'm receiving (translated in English for you) are: "action for account required" from notification; once tapped it, a system window says to login again, but after I put the password I get a new system window titled "access didn't worked" and (in English this time) "to access your account, you must sign in on the web. Touch next to start browser sign-in", then an SMS is sent for 2FA, I check "don't ask it again", but on use I get again the previous system window ("use brower sign-in"); I've already tried it many times.

[Honor 9i  Questions & Answers] indigo110:
Can anyone confirm if Honor 9i has project support treble support inbuilt? Once the Phone is updated to Oreo and if it is Treble supported Porting of ROM will be much faster and cleaner. It will definitely aid horizontal ROM development irrespective of SOC in the device.

:confused:

Treble is for oreo.

Ans this device is not come with oreo

So it depends, after oreo upgrade or confirmation from huawei.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] billubakra:
Hi,

My friend is planning to get a 5t along with his note 8. Few questions-

1. How is this phones screen as compared to note 8's screen, comparing them at max settings?

2. How smooth is the OS? He is skeptical about it since he is switching from stock android and touchwiz.

Any other down sides of this phone? I hope the screen is really an infinity display like the s8.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] anjugeorge:
I really like the curved edges of the S8. I prefer the S8 in terms of the display it is curve display which makes the screen to body ratio very low.

In terms of OS. I would prefer the OP5T.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] billubakra:
Thank you so much for such a detailed review. Is the infinity display on 5T really worth it without the edge display or the side edges/curves? We don't have a opo showroom in our state so can't really check the phone physically. 5T is not water proof, flash is also not good, no vr compatibility, audio speaker is just fine. Any other points that we need to keep in mind? Are they still cheating with benchmark tests?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Symphony0fLife:
Glad to help!

I've never heard OnePlus call it an infinity display. And it's just a term Samsung uses. Yes, on Samsungs you have the display spilling over the edges. Some people like it, others don't. I don't. It has a horrible glare and it alters the picture on screen for the worse, not better. The edge display makes things look really weird on the Samsung phones. So I prefer the flat edges like the 5T has and that Samsung had on the S7 and below, with the Edge display being optional. The bezels on the OnePlus are slightly larger than on the Note 8 and the S8 but not by much and not enough to hinder the experience. It's still a 2:1 ration (or 18:9, however you like to say it). It's not quad HD, so right, no VR, but is the same ratio and looks gorgeous. It's hard to explain. Yes the resolution is lower, but it's not noticeable unless you really pixel peep. Quad HD isn't enabled by default on the S8, S8+ or Note 8 and you don't notice much difference when you enable it to be honest. Most people use their Samsungs on 1080p and don't even realize it. Most aren't tech freaks like us and don't even know you can turn it on.

Flash, I'm not sure what you mean about it not being as good? I already addressed photos above, the flash is fine and not noticeably different in every day use. 5T is not water resistant (even the Samsungs are not water PROOF) but OnePlus has stated it will stand up to splashes just fine. Unless you need to swim or shower with your phone, the 5T should be ok. Audio speaker is mono like the Samsung, but is louder than Samsung and sounds slightly better, though the Samsung has the edge if you use headphones. Headphone sound quality is slightly better with the Samsung. Speaker is better on the 5T.

Benchmarks, I don't know. But they don't mean anything real world either. Like the cameras, it's largely a marketing gimmick. Whatever single or multi core score it gets doesn't mean a thing when translated to actual use. But yeah, it kicks everything else's ass. But it should, being that it has the best specs in the industry for this year. So I don't know if they still fluff numbers, but whether they do or not they still win in the spec pissing contest.

Edit: Simplified, if you can get a 2017 flagship for less money than a 5T costs, or within $100 of the 5T for the Note, the S8+, the V30 or the Pixel 2/2XL, it's worth it to get the flagships. If it costs any more than that, they're not better "enough" to warrant spending the money and I'd go with the 5T. Because the only areas they're better are either gimmicks or they are only marginally better, not several hundred dollars better.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] billubakra:
Once again thank you so much. Last 2 queries can you please post a photo of the edges and a pic which shows all the bezels? I have a S7 and I get your point but it will be hard to explain to him. Second I was talking about the benchmark cheat in which opo was involved in, some senior members made a detailed thread about it, Google one plus one benchmark cheat XDA. Has anyone tested the 5t to find out the real benchmarks?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] billubakra:
He just messaged me to ask you this, he will be getting a Gadgetshieldz protector for his 5t which is installed by soaking the protector in water mixed with detergent or some other chemical, since the phone is water resistant will there be any issues with the screen or any other component if the liquid goes inside the phone? Lastly is oneplus one guaranteeing software updates till 2 years?
