Quick Answer, Yes!

But most of my music is stored as FLAC, so with those files there was some difference. But the truth is, it wasn't a lot. The 1000xm2 are such good headphones, so they make even regular .MP3 files sound really good.

1. I know we will get it one day, and I know it will probably be stable then, but this is XDA. Most people here aren't running Vanilla Stock ROM. We take our expensive phones and mess around with it. So a beta release is as good as the real deal here.

Very well said Sir!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexgoaga:
Hey guys,

I will try to post my question and problem as clearly as I can :

What is the difference between an Android OS TV (example mini PC with Android to make your TV smart) compared with Android OS for your personal Phone device or tablet?

For example : I have an Odroid Mini PC from Hardkernel, with Android OS fw 4.4.4 with root. I also have in my home several devices such as Android TV (came with the Smart TV). The main problem is what or where is a root file system that allows the TV to be found in the network?

The question is : When i use the Google Cast from youtube, Why i Can't see both devices? Where or What i have to do in order to make this option available.

On my personal device (phone) Asus ZenPhone 2 fw : 6.0.1 and Odroid Mini PC (fw 4.4.4) i found on different websites the possibility of the app "CheapCast" which cannot be found anymore on Google Store :mad:

If I run from Windows (Chrome web broser) the option to "Cast to device", I can only see the Smart TV , not the phone or the mini pc. The thing that disturbes me that if I use the YouTube App from any Android Device, i can select all 3 devices . Why?

Thank you for your time.

Please tell me if i didn't make myself clear, i can create a gif to display the issue or re-tell the story
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmr0th:
My screen has been completely destroyed and I managed to put TWRP on the phone like a blind man and start it.

That means I can access internal storage from the PC via USB.

Now I am wondering where the contacts are stored which I'd love to recover.

I start fearing that I need to apply more hacks to the phone which however is unrealistic given the circumstances.

To be honest I haven't really grasped all the layers of Android OS, but as long as I'm in recovery I should be allowed to access anything, or not?

UPDATE

Looks like I need to access "/data/data/..."

I guess the problem is that only Internal Storage "/sdcard" is exposed over USB. Can that be changed?

BTW "adb devices" shows "unauthorized".

How to access everything? What part of the system is blocking it?

UPDATE2

Almost there, pulled TWRP from official sources, that apparently has the engineering bit set so you don't need any authorization :cool:

Now I'm stuck will just "adb pull"ing the entire /data directory cause my crap Windows machine tells me it can't create directories *sigh*

Thanks.

(Oh BTW , it's an S3 Neo (Android 4.4) and TWRP is 2.8.5.0)

Looking at possibly wrapping my Pixel C that I just picked up locally on OfferUp. Has anyone had any experience with it? Don't care about the screen protector, just the wrap.

It's okay, but it doesn't really protect the actual edges so eventually it gets dinged up and damaged. I ended up removing it and keep my tablet stored in a stretched leather iPad Air 2 case.

I wouldn't wrap this tablet, it needs every help to dissipate heat, I actually installed a heatsink where the SoC is to avoid thermal throttling.

I have the Skinomi one on my Pixel C and I haven't had any overheating issues. However, my tablet is mostly reserved for air travel, so I don't really worry about overheating.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 93zx7:
I, like many OPO owners, have been experiencing slow charging. I have found a remedy to this issue. I did search the forums here, OP forums and Android Auth. forums. Here is the resolution:

1. I used boeffla kernel and configv2 app from boeffla's website. The app does require root access. I used it to determine my phone's charging current that it was accepting.

2. After determining my cable and/or charging block was not supplying the sufficient charging rate, I purchased a new cable and/or block.

3. Referring back to boeffla configv2 app, my charging rate improved, but it was not at the stock charging rate. I went to the misc 1 tab and changed both AC and USB charging rate to the max amount. 2000ma and 1600ma respectively.

My charging woes are solved. I did try changing the charging rate 1st as that was my first suspicion. That didn't resolve it. I then changed the block. No change. I changed the cable. Charging rate improved to sub 1ma. Changed the charging rate values. Now I'm at 2ma charging rate. I hope others find this useful.

I did try the Clear Cache trick. That made no dent.

My Setup Currently:

LOS 14.1

Boeffla Kernel

TWRP 3.1.1-k

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 93zx7:
I didn't think it was a general discussion and thought it belonged here due to it being a known issue that never was clearly answered. If a moderator feels it belongs in the general section, they can move it.

If I need to change the way I worded my post into a form of a question to keep it here, then I'll reword it.

If it can be agreed upon to be sticky'd in the appropriate section to help more people facing this issue, that would even be more fantastic.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] ctzw:
My HTC 10 is going to be 2 years old. And probably see a degradation soon on battery performance. Since Apple has nation-wide local stores to offer $29 battery replacement to iPhones, I am wondering is there any certified battery replacement for HTC? I know BestBuy is doing battery replacement for Samsung phones, but you know HTC is NOT so mainstream as Samsung, is there any place I can have HTC 10 battery replaced? I am pretty sure HTC official support is going to be expensive on this.... :rolleyes: wouldn't consider them anyway.

The DIY video kinda scares me away, as I tried to open a few phones several years ago, and there were dirts leaked into screen after I assembled the phone back. So if DIY is my last resort, I wouldn't bother replacing the battery... May consider buying a iPhone or Samsung due to their minimum maintenance efforts.

Not sure where you are located, but you might give these guys a try:

I realize the HTC 10 isn't listed but it might be worth contacting them and see if they can help you with your issue.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] h8Aramex:
OP:

- Contact the closest HTC you find, maybe you have to ship it to another country, but that is the easiest it will get.

- DO NOT DO IT YOURSELF. I bought an OEM battery for my M7 from a "trusted seller". It's a big shop, and really, people trust them. Took me 2 days to disassemble the phone (obviously with breaks and work and all), it's extremely tedious and cumbersome. Then I put it together, but no charge. Turns out, the new battery was defective out of the box. Also, the repair process is so destructive, I do not think you can take the phone apart 2-3 times. Maybe once, twice if you are extremely careful. But it is almost beyond human - to be so careful and cautious. You have to look out for so many small cables, ribbons. Point is, if HTC messes up, they fix it / give you a new phone, whatever. If you mess up, bye-bye phone.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] saga-more:
I called a local UBreakIFix shop, and they said that, since the screen must be removed and it's so thin, to replace the battery on the HTC 10, they would have to charge me for replacing the screen plus battery. About $130 for parts and labor.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cytherian:
Because they're a business, they're all about doing jobs quickly. The longer it takes, the more it costs them to complete it. As such, they can't be bothered with educating themselves on how to do the HTC 10 properly. There is a technique and it takes time. If it wasn't possible, nobody would be doing it with any reported success. The main thing is heating up the phone enough to soften the adhesive, and being gentle enough not to disturb the ribbon cable for the screen.

HTC really boned it on the HTC 10. If there was no battery issue, it would be a strong competitor for the Google Pixel. But they cut corners to keep manufacturing costs low, and sacrificed serviceablility. Coupling that with the common battery problem, they're left with frustrated customers who are destined to abandon the brand. It's a real shame because without the battery issue, the HTC 10 is pretty much about as good as the Google Pixel. I showed mine to a friend with the Pixel and we did a compare. Aside from the Pixel being a little lighter, the screen intensity of the HTC 10 was better and the case feels more solid.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] andybones:
yea HTC won't work on the 10 anymore.. EOL (in USA anyway) and UK won't take it

anyone willing to change my battery?

I will pay, PM me please.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] tiga2001:
on eBay, you can find brand new HTC 10 for about $110 and brand new HTC U11 for about $170. If your cost of repair is around $100, it would make more sense to purchase a brand new HTC 10 or a brand new HTC U11.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] andybones:
I agree. I do..

htc u11 doesnt work fully on verizon AFAIK, and I love the 10 anyway.

but for the new htc 10, my issue is that with ebay, some wont take returns, and lithium batteries degrade. new doesn't mean you're getting a new battery.

un-used, yes if new.

but if no returns, and it only has like 70% capacity, I'm where I am now and then stuck with 2 10s

but yes the ONLY place i could find was:

www.ubreakifix.com

they quoted me at $99 for the battery repair, and it includes:

new battery

new screen (if they break it)

new whatever if they break it

(meaning they cover everything for the $99)

and 90 day warranty

soooo. idk

theres literally like no phone im interested in.

and here in the us, at least what ive found is no one will touch it because they can't guarntee the screen not breaking, and once that happens, as you said, gets higher than phone is "worth"
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] tiga2001:
I see that makes some sense. I am not familiar with the battery degradation of phones that haven't been used in 3 years, but it does sound like a brand new battery would be a good way to go to get maximum battery life. I also wish there was an easy way to replace the battery so that I wouldn't have to go through the route of looking for a new phone. I'm currently planning to get a new HTC U11 from eBay, but was certainly considering another HTC 10 before I discovered how cheap the U11 is from certain sellers.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] andybones:
Another thing I forgot about was root, duh lol.

Unlocked model can unlock bootloader, but I'm not sure about s-off app is still available for it. I'd pay the $25 no problem, but would need to refresh myself ifits an option.

I know there's Java cards and xtc clip but that's another investment really, would maybe need to fund someone that already has one

I don't know if it helps but have you tried

Dear erayrafet I really apreciate that offer and you have my thanks. In my folder etc/audio/hi6402 I have many mixer_volume_GRACE, GEMINI... I have L09 variant of P8. Could you specify which file beside mixer_volume _default you need?

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] falsivas:
Hi bought this in Nov from CPW. Was UK single sim, 128GB unlocked. Every other phone I've bought from CPW has been unlocked and without branding.... as was this one until I installed my three sim, which immediately installed the three splash screen and other three bloat... none of which can be uninstalled.

Bit cheesed off at this, because I detest all the garbage that they load onto phones... and this one has plenty.... deezer etc...

I'm wondering if others from a different network have noticed similar findings... ??? O2 / Vodafone / EE cr@p installed after sim insertion.... ??? (this might explain why the firmware size is so colossal if all networks are contained in the one version)
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Mario_Wiznycia:
Also on Carphone Warehouse with O2. No branding or bloat. Also no update as of yet.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] mad.jack10:
Before I inserted my three sim I had a play with the phone and non of the bloat was installed even tho I purchased it from three. So the phones ship with a standard Huawei firmware and as soon as you insert a SIM it installs all the bloat.

Really this should be optional.

If you remove the SIM and do a factory reset will the three branding still remain?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] falsivas:
That's strange... is this a three network only feature... original FW was .115 and pre-installed cr@p only appeared when sim installed (which was before .124 appeared a couple of weeks ago)... so there are NO bloatware apps at all installed on the O2 network ??? (amazon etc ??)

Was wondering myself if the three branding would get nuked with a factory reset... but can't be bothered with the pain of rebuilding my phone... anybody up for the challenge ??

It had the usual Google apps and a bunch of Huawei apps, don't remember much else. It's been a couple of months since I set the phone up, so don't remember exactly.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Shipoftheline:
I suspect it might be because only Three have it on contract while Carphonewarehouse (where I got mine) sell it unlocked, sim free...................forcing Three bloat on it though is out of order

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
The UK Mate 10 Pro situation is a new one. The phones automatically rebrand themselves to the SIM you put in. Even without bloatware, there is an EE branding, a Three branding, a Vodafone branding, and perhaps others that I didn't mention.

You might be able to get around it by first putting in a non-UK sim. Otherwise, you'd need to use a rebranding procedure to set it back, as far as I can tell. I don't have a UK device or SIM to do testing on, but that is what I've gathered so far.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] smilirulz:
Hello. I saw this issue as well with Orange Romania. As soon as you insert the sim and get signal, those apps install themselves, even if the phone is dual sim, unlocked, etc. As you guys mentioned before about the branding, most of the carriers have to modify the phone`s software in order to offer VoLTE and other services like these. Anyway, I just got like 5 apps from Orange(considering that Huawei`s apps are like 10-15 :))) ), and I`m using 2 of them so far, so not a big deal for me.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] mad.jack10:
I'd contact cpw , if you bought it SIM free I'd be expecting a device with no carrier branding, usually devices that carry the three branding are the most deprecated value wise when it comes to resale in past experience
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Shipoftheline:
That would depend on whether the phone has now been locked to them after I bought it unlocked, that's when it hits the fan
