WOW awesome, kaiser can run SNES emulator with 50 over FPS , i can't wait to get a kaiser for testing....

by the way , any FPS improve compare to the new rom with old rom? Do u think will the coming new rom improve the FPS of emulator again?

Have u try CPS 2 games such as street fighter Zero 2, Marver VS Street Fighter ,Gigawing, Neogeo games such as Metal Slug and etc..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fiapop:
thanks for everyone's input. I have spent probably like 10 hours reading about this phone in the past 2 weeks.. and I'm liking it.. but only one question comes to mind....

it was released in september/october last year...

i was wondering if ANYONE knew of any new releases of att phones *mainly smartphones/pdas* that are coming out within the next month or so?

because i don't want to buy this phone today... and 2 weeks from now say the "HTC 9125" comes out or something like that.

so do any of you guys know if any new phones are said to be released??? and their dates?

thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] SuperRob:
The only possible one would be the SonyEricsson Xperia X1, which is basically going to be the HTC TyTn III. But you have several months before that will be out. If you can wait, you might consider it ... it's got everything the Tilt has, plus a Wide VGA (800x480) screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fiapop:
thanks a lot for that input... I'm thinking of waiting around for that one.. looks nice. I'm in no hurry... so should be worth the wait.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] fergusstrachan:
I've been searching high and wide for this specific problem, but for the life of me I can't find it.

My S8 (and a Note8 I just bought) keep showing bloody annoying ads at the bottom of the browser.

It's a bar, with a little notch protruding from the top right of the bar with an X to close it (see attached screenshot).

It happens in the cut-down Chrome and also the normal chrome (if I "Open in Chrome").

I thought it was an app I installed, but the Note8 does it as well with absolutely nothing installed.

Is it the phone, or is it the damn Daily record site?

Can anyone shed light on this, and more importantly how to get rid of the damn thing?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Fiasco:
You probably need an ad-blocker for your browser. I use the Samsung Internet browser which has built-in ad-blocker, not sure if Chrome has that feature on mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] theundead176:
The ads are from the website you are using and not from the phone.

You can either use a web browser with ad blocking capabilities (samsung browser and opera have adblock I think)

Another option is to use Adhell2, which blocks ads on an OS level, and blocks most ads on the web and in apps as well.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/themes/adhell-2-rootless-ad-blocking-t3663559
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] fergusstrachan:
Thanks.

Seems like Adhell doesn't work any more, from the thread at least.

Any others to help (In Chrome)?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Fiasco:
Adhell 2 should work: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/themes/adhell-2-rootless-ad-blocking-t3663559
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] fergusstrachan:
AdHell 2 took me to MABS, which is supported.

However, after installing MABS (and it works because all the ad spaces are now blank) this stupid notch thing still appears at the bottom, just with something that would otherwise be an ad.

So I would question your assertion that it isn't the phone.. It doesn't seem to be this way on any other phone, only the S8 and Note8. But I'll double-check.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jkolner:
MABS, don't you mean SABS?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Fiasco:
It isn't the phone, it's the website. I view the same website in Samsung Internet browser with it's built-in blocker extension capability, and I don't see the ad or any empty placeholder where an ad might appear.

You're using Chrome so you may have to do a bit more work to get the same ad blocking capability since it isn't built in. But it is definitely the website, not the phone.

Regarding AdHell 2, the installation process is a bit tricky, but it certainly does work, although I would say it works too well in some cases, which led me to remove it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] funkybone:
I've got Adhell2 before but I switched to SABS and it works like charm. If you're too fortunate to spend some money you can try Disconnect pro in the Galaxy App store, it works excellent too!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] fergusstrachan:
You're right, it is the web page. However, if I open the page in the Samsung browser it has a white band at the bottom (without a notch) that would otherwise hold an advert (I know this because it says "Advertisement" on it!). Do you get this?

So MABS stops the ad coming through, but what's really required is to stop the damn browser giving up all this space to adverts. Is that a fair summary?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Fiasco:
I don't get this, as I said I use the adblocker in Samsung Internet browser which can be found and configured in the browser's settings. This completely removes the ad.

Whatever this "MABS" is you've installed is clearly not working properly. To clarify, you mean MABS and not SABS, correct? The one for Samsung devices that I know of is called SABS not MABS.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] fergusstrachan:
SABS, yes, sorry. :)

Gonna give Bromite a try. Ad-blocking version of Chrome.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Fiasco:
I've never even heard of Bromite until now. Interesting.

Is there a particular reason why you're tied to Chrome? If not I would suggest just using the Samsung Internet browser or maybe try Brave: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brave.browser&hl=en. Brave is built specifically for blocking ads and increased privacy.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] fergusstrachan:
Probably only cos I have the bookmarks in there, and come to think of it I don't really need to sync bookmarks from the desktop either, so probably will start afresh with the Samsung jobby. Looks quite good.. I'm shocked! :)

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Fiasco:
Yeah I was pleasantly surprised by Samsung's browser when I first tried it, I switched to it pretty quickly. I believe Samsung has a Chrome for desktop extension that can sync bookmarks over to the Samsung browser.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] djpelosi:
Having two issues with my S9+ I just got today. Hoping someone can help:

1.) Full screen mode - I opened up a game which displayed in the correct resolution, but didn't take up the entire screen. There was a small area of black at both the top and bottom of the screen, so the game was not taking up the whole screen. I turned on full screen mode, which fixed this problem, however, it basically lowered the resolution on the game and it made everything huge. Can't seem to fix this to where my game uses the whole screen and the correct resolution like it should and does on other phones.

2.) Lock screen pattern - On previous android phones, the 9 dot pattern would automatically show up when I pressed the power button to turn the screen on. On this phone, it's not. Also, the 9 dot pattern box is small compared to what it used to be on other phones. I have it set currently to not show the swipe pattern when I swipe in my pattern to unlock the phone, but I'd like to not have to swipe first to get the pattern box to show, as well as make the pattern box bigger. On my old phone (LG V10) there's an option under lock screen settings that says "Hidden Pattern - Show pattern dots when tapping on the screen" that turns it on so the swipe box comes up as soon as you turn the screen on. Can't find this on the new version.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Planet Gemini PDA Questions & Answers] drakester:
Hello early adopters!

Ok, my Gemini is in my hands now, and I have a day's worth of dinking around Android on it. Eventually I want to either make it a pleasant dual-booting PDA, or leave the Android stuff to live on my phone.

I have some questions to start off:

Q1: For dual booting linux/Android, how is the storage partitioned, and is there a shared partition where I can put my files? I have text files, pictures, spreadsheets etc that I have kept under my own control all these years. These contain passwords, lists of contacts, accounting info, bookmarks, journals, etc that I have never entrusted to the 'cloud' or someone else's walled garden..

Q2: Honoring the P in PDA, is something like 'FreedomBox' for debian feasible? Perhaps this q is better asked elsewhere. Someone tell Eben Moglen about the Gemini.

Q3:Does the linux side of a Gemini have access to the Android file system? Lets say I wanted to share a bookmark to Android directly, without external services like Google or email.

Q3:What is the plan for the phone services in a dual-boot setup? I assume for now the phone wants to run in Android, but it could be independent of either OS, or depend on a particular linux flavor. I had planned on a wifi-only Gemini, but apparently thought better of that and ordered a 4G one. I have not decided whether to buy a sim for it, or wait and transfer from my existing fone, or get a dumbfone now that I have a Gemini.
[Planet Gemini PDA Questions & Answers] jah:
Android telephony is shared with Linux. See this video

[youtube]cTU28QgYHdQ[/youtube]
[Planet Gemini PDA Questions & Answers] drakester:
Thanks, that helped. Interesting thought they presented re the possibility of downloading a phone number.

Also, finally a nice piece of hardware with opensource bootloader and kernal, that can boot off usb.. Should be fun.
[Planet Gemini PDA Questions & Answers] dentedilupo:
it´s possible with the 4g version to use the gemini as a mobile phone? calls and sms work with sim card inserted?
[Planet Gemini PDA Questions & Answers] jah:
Yes. I use a Plantronics BT headset but you can use the speaker and mic built into the top/bottom of the device.
[Planet Gemini PDA Questions & Answers] dentedilupo:
so this is also a mobile phone, i don´t understand why they don´t explore this as a mobile phone with dual boot linux capability, because "pda" didn´t manage to survive especially because of old hardware and didn´t have gsm capability

this is indeed great device, little expensive, but i understand the price, if this have a external small lcd with touch ability + a decent camera, i will defenitly buy this, i will manage to survive without external lcd, but camera this days is fundamental, it can be not so good as the google pixel camera, but at least ok

this can be a mobile phone + personal small computer, you will don´t need tablet or netbook anymore

this is the future by the way, love to see gadgets like this or the gpd pocket
[Planet Gemini PDA Questions & Answers] wikholm:
The Gemini is very much an Android touchscreen smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard.

They probably call it a PDA because smartphone keyboards tends to be rather lacking, making people think of BlackBerry or the Nokia E-series, while the very reason the Gemini exists, is to offer a keyboard on which you can actually type a few pages per day in relative comfort. The keyboard design is very much a replica of the Psion Series 5mx keyboard, which in its day was considered to be pretty much the best keyboard on a device you could (kind of) fit in a shirt pocket. While the Gemini is a lot sleeker, the keyboard is the same size. The Psion keys had significantly more resistance. Personally the "lighter" keys of the Gemini suits me better, but that's just my opinon.

There is no external screen, but there is a set of five RGB LEDs that supposedly can be made to flash for various events, once the software for that becomes available. The built in camera is a fixed focus, user facing 5MP video telephony camera. There is a slot behind the lid cover, where an add-on 5MP rear-facing camera can be installed, when available. Since it hasn't shipped yet, I can't comment on its quality, but given the size of the slot, I wouldn't hope for much. As photography seems to be an important part of smartphones these days, that's maybe another reason they call it a PDA.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] android.4.0:
Phone used to take 7 secs to boot now that i unlocked the bootloader it takes like 15 secs. is there a way to remove this screen and have the phone just boot as normal
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] enzyne:
I asked the same question but it seems that it would require hex editing the boot-loader which is something that i'm not familiar with.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] xFirefly93:
As [MENTION=478648]enzyne[/MENTION] said, this would require modifying the bootloader which could (as far as I know) hardbrick the phone if not done correctly.

Better that you just live with the warning screen. It's there for a reason, tbh..
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Pandemic187:
FWIW, OnePlus (and probably other phones) also have this when you unlock the bootloader. Yeah, it's annoying because I know what I'm doing well enough to not completely brick the phone...but it's not unique to the Pixel 2.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] psychomaniac82:
I also owned the Nexus 6p. In 3 years I owned the device I never read about this being "solved". Didn't know it took 8 extra seconds for booting...
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] zandarillis:
You can push the power button twice (once to pause and once more to resume) and it will skip the delay. Still annoying, but it speeds it up some.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] enzyne:
It would be fantastic if there was a way to emulate the bootloader entirely and make changes that way before actually risking it on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] psouza4:
NOTE: This might only apply to the Verizon version of the S9/S9+ (SM-G96xU), but for those of you who have this app, disable it.

It's labeled as "Mobile Services Manager" under Settings > Apps (it does not appear in your app drawer in your launcher).

Previously called DT Ignite (or just Ignite), it can and does install apps without your permission as instructed by your carrier. This is in addition to the apps installed on first boot by ConfigAPK (android.autoinstalls.config.samsung) and is guaranteed to just be bloat.

The package name is com.LogiaGroup.LogiaDeck and was found on my device under /system/carrier/priv-app/IgniteVerizon/IgniteVerizon.apk. Without root, you can't delete this package, but you can disable it, which will prevent it from continuing to do its dirty work.

Hi there. Does anyone know what the app is called for Spectrum Mobile? As far as I know, Spectrum cell service is a relatively new thing (at least here in BFE) so I'll understand if no one is sure. Don't know if it matters or not, but they run off Verizon. Thanks in advance for any advice. I am completely new to any sort of tweaking/customization other than changing some settings here and there. (Basically just being a wimp with a leased phone.) I'm interested in learning all I can, or all I can without voiding the warranty. Lol. Thanks all and sorry if I sound clueless.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] justinforeman200:
Honestly I got tired of At&t bloatware and wifi calling notification staying on my panel. I flashed the U1 firmware to my phone last night. The AT&t firmware has a serious security issue where if I make a call and press the lock key the phone unlocks itself as soon as the call ends or if I get a call and unlock it for any reason it stays unlocked after the phone call. I use headphones at work for my calls and this leaves it unlocked in my pocket doing all kinds of things. At&t says not an issue just pull your phone out and lock it. I say Im not supposed to have my phone at all and I rely on the answer and end call button on my headphones and need it to stayocked in my pocket. I dont have this issue with the U1 firmware. And it has a data switch in the shortcut pull down menu so no background data period.

Hi,

I'm using Dutty's Official WM6.1 5.2.19199 UC RTM and I noticed that when using emoze that the reminder values don't get pushed. In other words if I create an appointment in outlook with a 2 hour reminder the appointment gets pushed to my TyTN II but the reminder time is always the default (15 minutes).

Also appointments in outlook that don't have a reminder will still get a 15 minute reminder.

So has anyone else experienced this issue and is there a fix?

Does this occur with Exchange push as well?

Hi,

I bought a new battery to my phone. First battery i can not charge more than 98% (phone still show charging, and nothing), i return it to seller and he send me new one. At this time i can charge it to 100%, but charging and discharging is very weird. Sometime when charging, phone shows for example 32% for more than 30min. Somtime it show 23% and after 1min charging it show 57% then 46%. When discharging it show 100%, after some time it show suddenly 92%. First battery doing something like second battery, but little bit differently. Seller it big one in our country and i think, that battery is realy original (battery is made in 2017/11). With old battery everything is excelent, but it drain fast as it old.

Screenshot from weird battery stats are in links. (I don´t know how can i insert image, so i am sorry for this)

So, is there something, what i can try or something what i can do ? Or i am doing something wrong ? Maybe my phone is bad ? Or new battery is bad again ?

No issues here, but manually updated to March using the factory image followed by root via fastboot twrp.

You need to add more detail to your posts as there are lots of questions left unanswered that could be important.

Eg

Do you mean the march security update? Was it updated OTA or manually? If manually, which image and what method? Rooted? Modded? Have you checked your apps for any that might be suspicious or just really old? Have you backed up and reset? Etc etc.

Good luck

For me, I was on February before I flashed the latest build at the weekend.

I had various apps installed, could have been anything. Most of the experimental apps were things like the modified camera app which allows the Pixel XL 2 HDR+ etc...

Personally, I think flashing a device over ADB is a necessity sometimes - I had tried clearing the app cache, with this a/b boot partitions, there's no clear cache in bootloader - so took the plunge, glad I did because my battery and overall performance of the phone has improved.

I just forgot to lock the bootloader, which means when I came to pay for my train this morning I couldn't set up Android Pay.
