I, personally, give posts 7-10 days for a response before taking other avenues.

I know that it seems like a long time, depending on the urgency but, I've been off the XDA Grid for a week or so and I always felt that this time frame was a fair one.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] applehater00:
Hi, I used to jailbreak every Apple product because without JB they are junk.

However since moving to Android I've not needed to root as it's so cool anyway. However I may have to root my Mate 10 to get over the awful widget updating issue. I can either do that or return it.

So I want to ask

1) Is one root better than another? People are talking about having fixed the widget update issue using a magisk root. Are there better roots out there?

2) Apart from Titanium and developer type apps, I can't see an awful lot of reason for rooting for me other than sorting out Huawei's widget bug. Are there other cool reasons? For example... I'd love to be able to record phonecalls - will there be root-only apps that allow me to do this (only for recording me taking the piss out of scammers!).

3) Mine is a Chinese Mate 10 which has had its ROM changed to ALP-L29 C636... the palce I bought it from said it shouldn't matter with a root but I just want ot check that if I root it, it won't somehow get rid of the ROM and make it Chinese again?

4) Lastly... I've read abotu cyanogenmod (meybe there are better ones now). Am I right in thinking though that if I run something like that then I will lose all the camera benefits like the wide aperture post processing, the huawei speed thing where the phone gets faster with use (it actually works- my old Mate 9 is faster now than it was at start, amazing!) etc...

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help with any of the above. :)
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Another little utility app I've been working on :D

I'm a big fan of to-do lists apps but I was often finding myself editing the same list in Google Keep (my app of choice) everyday - adding new tasks, marking them as done, deleting them tomorrow to add new ones etc..

Also I thought it was a bit overkill to use a whole to-do app to manage just one list, and I found it annoying having to keep opening Google Keep, find my list for today & then edit it etc.. so I built To-Day.

In case the naming isn't as clever as I think, To-Day is an app to create a list of today's most important tasks directly from the notification drawer (for devices running Nougat & up). You can view the whole list directly in the notification drawer & swipe to mark tasks as complete directly in the notification drawer. Once the clock strikes midnight the list is cleared & you start again.

That's it. No bells, no whistles, nothing fancy - just productivity.

I've just published the app on the Play Store - Would love to know what you guys think.. :)

And any bugs or issues you find please do let me know..

PS: If you find it useful a review would be MASSIVELY appreciated ;)
[Android Apps and Games] isosika:
I like the no-bs approach. I am a simple man and I prefer simple solutions ;)

Personally I prefer your other app "Remindee" much more. My tasks quite often are situated within longer time span than single day.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Appreciate the feedback buddy ?

I'm in a similar position, I guess this is more for those quick tasks that I don't particularly have a time except they need to be done today, in which case they don't necessarily need a reminder..

But hey use whatever you prefer best!! (After all I made them both ??)
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
New build is up, just some minor bug fixes :D
[Android Apps and Games] axxbat:
Yet another nice utility, many thanks! If considerable amount of users agree, 'task complete' checkbox could be handy,possibly?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Glad you like it! Atm (apologies - it's not obvious) you can swipe tasks to mark as complete either from the notification or inside the app itself :good:
[Android Apps and Games] axxbat:
Got it, sir, thanks! Have got a little bit too many notifications, and To-Day tasks merged. Prevented merging notifications from the same app via interface, and discovered 'Swipe to complete' feature. Certainly, it's enough!
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
New build is uploading.. :D

- Added option to set tasks for tomorrow

- Minor bug fixes & layout tweaks

Any issues/feedback - let me know :)
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Interesting app.

Just wondering, if option set task for tommorow is enabled does it automatically add unfinished tasks for the next day if not completed or do you have to manually set it for tomorrow?

First option would be great.

Also, permissions does not match app description:

receive data from Internet

view network connections

full network access

prevent device from sleeping

Why internet?

Not in description:

Also, is prevent device from sleeping really required for app context?

I do not believe notifications really need this permission?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
It doesn't currently but that's a good idea! Maybe I could add that as an optional setting.. ?

Re permissions internet & network is required for Crashlytics (crash reporting), not sure about preventing the device from sleeping - that's not a permission I've declared so I'm thinking that's something added from the Firebase SDK. Either way the app doesn't do anything other than post notifications for your tasks so it shouldn't be keeping your device awake for any reason :)
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Thank you for the quick response.

I believe there is at least two different methods to implement this.

Have a general switch in settings, enable/disable, when enabled all uncompleted tasks are automatically moved to the next day, as creating a task means it should be completed.

Have an option when creating task itself, per task "must complete" option, if task has this checked ( checkbox), then task is carried forward, if not cleared at the end of day
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Any updates?

Basically title, picked it up today, using it as my daily driver now.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] dazed1:
Gratz! :)

1. Can you record more then 5 mins in 4K60?

2. Does changing to HEVC degrade IQ, or make the video not stop at 5 min if it does?

3. How hot does the phone get on both settings after 5 mins or more?

4. Does zooming ~5x or more, affect quality less then on the other phones ( i have noticed this on some videos) or the quality is the same?

6. Can you turn off video stabilization - eis, and test out 4K30 vs 4K60, and see which one is better quality? what are their bitrates?

7. Did you have S8/N8 before, is it noticable faster then the S8/N8 (with Oreo?)

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Paradoxxx:
1 - Nope :/

2 - Did not see any difference in quality from the phone - but it does not remove the 5 minutes limit

3 - It is fine - however it runs hot after a while

4 - I never zoomed in other phones, but it seems normal ?

5 - No noticeable difference in quality between 30 & 60 fps in 4k, beside the lack of calibration - so it is not like in the iPhone

6 - I had S8, and it seems a tad faster ? But I might still be provisioning as of now, so let's wait a couple of days for that :P
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] tim84us:
I had S8, and it seems a tad faster ? But I might still be provisioning as of now, so let's wait a couple of days for that :P

- any improvements on the screen/display quality over the S8 - or was that display mate just a paid-hype PR piece

-let us know about battery

-what changes to S8 did you noticed (besides the ones they've added in like camera. emoji )

thx
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Paradoxxx:
The screen is awesome. Never seen anything like this before.

In a few days yes.

I have the midnight black version - the aluminium is painted in matte black instead of the glossy one now

The fingerprint sensor is super quick, but registration process is weird, it asks you to swipe your finger instead of lift and touch again - just worth noting.

Speakers are super good and super loud.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] tim84us:
you said: The screen is awesome. Never seen anything like this before.

you also said you had the S8

i know the S8 screen was/is really good (bar the issues they had with the red/blue taint)

in what ways is the s9 display better than the s8 - sorry for being so anal - but i was always interested :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] x111:
the most important question does it have unlocked bootloader and aosp support ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Paradoxxx:
The screen seems to be more under your fingers. Also it gets incredibly bright, and calibration out of the box is awesome.

Also the area where it curves is no longer of a different tint.

The color seems a tad more punchy, but that might be just the wallpaper that I use.

The attachment should answer your first question.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] x111:
that's is a great start, I'm looking very close to find out if this phone supports easy aosp.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] tomiga:
I'm hoping that since the S9 has Treble support, it'll be getting some AOSP love. If so, I'm definitely getting it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] x111:
how do you know it has Treble support ?

any links maybe?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] tomiga:
All phones that come with Oreo are required to support Treble. Since the S9 comes with Oreo, it supports Treble.

OP could confirm by running the following command in an adb shell: getprop ro.treble.enabled
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] dazed1:
Can you test the taken videos 4K30 vs 4K60 on pc to get better idea, on mobile display everything looks amazing - or upload some short ones uncompressed during normal movement?

Do you have any phone to compare the digital zoom with? example 3x on both phones during recording?

You mean lack of stabilization?

Also, if you change settings in pro mode, and use it last, does the same mode/setting launch if you use the double click on power button? (will the camera launch in pro or auto mode?)

Thanks alot :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Killuminati91:
1. What are the settings for the ordinary slow mo mode? Is it 1080p @ 240fps?

2. Can you change the aperture in pro mode WHILE recording video?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Paradoxxx:
I wont have time to check the bitrates and the quality on PC, so I will just reply to what I can from there

Yes I mean no stab in 4k60, and yes the same mode opens if you double tap the power button, but only sometimes, or on some specific mode (?)

1080p240

Nope you cant.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] dazed1:
What I meant was, if i open pro mode, and make some tweaks, and I close the camera.

Will the camera launch in pro mode when I double press the power button, or the auto mode is launched? If the auto mode is launched, does changing the mode in it, stick or when you double press power it's all on stock? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Jeshter2000:

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Paradoxxx:
It re opens the Pro mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] dazed1:
I'm sorry dude, but I must be sure you understand me, this is very important to me.

I open pro mode, and set shutter speed to 3 seconds, or I adjust white balance and then I close it the camera app from memory.

Then i double click on power button, does the camera then opens in pro mode with the settings adjusted or its pro mode but on stock- with nothing changed?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Paradoxxx:
It re opens on stock after force closing.

Didn't try yet

It really feels like you're touching the pixels. I don't know how to explain it better :/
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] dazed1:
Ok one last test sorry. If you launch the camera and go into pro mode, and then press power button to turn it off, and then again double click to relaunch is it maybe then still in pro mode? Thanks :))
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] CuBz90:
I thought that's what you meant. Sounds awesome!

Samsung have a feature to disable the Bixby button, but they do not have an option to allow you to remap it. I believe 3rd party apps DO work but that's just me taking the word of others.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Paradoxxx:
Yep, and saved my setting of pro mode.

So even if you force close the application, start it again, and go back to pro mode it'll have the same settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] dazed1:
Great, so double click power to launch >power button to turn off, double click = same mode and settings launched correct?

Can you run a benchmark.

Called WebXPRT Mobile.

The reason I ask, this is one of the benchmarks that showed a regression in performance in comparison to the S8 Exynos chip in Anandtechs preview model. I'm curious if shipping firmwire is any better...

Could you also run Androbench to give us an idea of the storage performance?

In general how does the performance feel?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Paradoxxx:
Correct. Seems like as long it's kept in memory it's good.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Paradoxxx:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lb357:
Hello,

I tried to install TWRP unsuccessfully on my D852. In the process, I removed my laf.img. The strange thing is that I see two files on my phone, one in the internal storage size 16.5MB and one on the SDcard size 32MB. How do I know which one to install? Is there a difference between them? If I install the wrong one, will my phone still work?

I am running the Telus Lollipop 5.0.1 from storagecow, if this could help you giving me the right answer.

What do I do with a BIN file? How to I install it on the phone?

Thank you,
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lb357:
Hello, me, again,

I can't believe no one knows how to do this. Please help! I can't do anything on my phone, luckily it still boots to LP 5.0.1.

laf.img was removed using ADB. I backed it up before removing it and now I can't seem to be able to restore it because the phone doesn't go to download mode.

It was very easy to remove and I can't find a way or someone to help me restore it...

I tried to enter Download Mode by powering the phone off, pressing Vol+ and plugging USB cable.

I get a black screen with the following:

[500] Fastboot mode started

[590] -Reset-

[590 -Portcharge-

[710] Fastboot: processing commands

Anyone knows how to get into download mode from here?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DarkDvr:
I've searched, and found lots of entries, but couldn't find what I was looking for.

I think Dutty's ROM had a timesync app that would sync the PDA's time with some online server... What I'd love to have is a simple app that would run every once in a while and sync PDA's time through the web.

What would you recommend?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GSLEON3:
Did you try phone, menu, options, Time Zones, check the "Automatic Update of Time Zones & Clock". This will sync to network time where ever you go. On the downside however, it can cause Activesync sessions to randomly pop up.

There is also an App called Time Sync: http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Business/Clock/TimeSync-Pocket-PC-19058.shtml

I think VXutil will do it to: http://www.cam.com/vxutil_pers.html

Try a google search for: atomic NTP time for pocket pc

HINT: occassionaly you get a better return if you omit "windows mobile" & instead use PPC or pocket pc for your searches.

So I bricked my phone :(

And now I can't enter recovery mode apparently because the baterry is low (red lightning bolt and red led flash). The phone won't charge, it boots up into error mode when I plug it into the charger but it never takes in any charge as far as I can tell. Left it hooked to the charger all night but low battery warning persists. Any ideas? please!
[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] scook94:
Have you tried switching it off then on again? :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] LioN-HearT:
I have the same problem as you, I've been finding ways on how to unbrick my phone. As far as I can tell though, using fastboot and flashing some .img files won't work. If you haven't tried it yet I suggest you do it and try it yourself and see if it will work or not.
[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] osscar:
Yeah, I tried all the unbricking methods I could find. Extracted UPDATE.APP, flashed the typical .img files, but no shebang. Bricked as bricked can be so far. I will post if I can figure something out. Not looking pretty thus far. Thanks for the reply!
[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] osscar:
So, after some more head banging against the wall, some more crying, and some more moaning -my phone remained bricked. Finally, I reached out to the FunkyHuawei Club fellas, who very kindly and patiently replied to all of my doubts and helped me prep up the needed files to run the unbrick process. I borrowed some dough from a friend, bumped credits and used the tool, which in a matter of about an hour or so unbricked my phone (it flashes the entire contents of UPDATE.APP (~4.31GB) twice through, which takes some time).

Now all is well and swell. I feel a little dissapointed with myself for bricking my phone and not being able to unbrick it myself, but I can't complain one bit about the FHUbnrickTool. It works like a charm!
[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] osscar:
Looking back. It might have been possible to unbrick it without the tool if I could have gotten access to TWRP, which, long story short, was not possible at first because I had the wrong kernel, but then flashed the correct one, but then found myself in the low battery situation.

I found a script somewhere in these forums to be able to charge the battery bootlooping into fastboot, but I did not have the patience to try the script, as it takes a very long time to charge using the script (2% per hour if i remember correctly). But maybe it will come in handy to someone so I am attaching the script here.
[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] osscar:
hahahha.. yeah, that should work most of the time, right?
