[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] berzerkus:
Hello,

With my previous Galaxy s7 I used Tasker to turn on my hotspot when it detected my cars Bluetooth. But it doesn't seem to work on my S9+ (US Sprint). I've tried Macrodroid as well as Tasker with the 'Nougat+ Tasker Tethering Control'.

It seems the issue may be Oreo related? Anybody know a way?

My car stereo is a Joying Android unit and it's nice not having to constantly turn hotspot on manually to use Pandora etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] jofre101:
I have the exact same problem. Seems like the device has to be rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] berzerkus:
That may be a possibility, but I'm holding out hope that it's just a Tasker update.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] jofre101:
Unfortunately it´s the same with other "task apps"
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] llaugerm:
I have the same problem. Did you find a Solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] berzerkus:
I have not yet found a solution. In all honesty, I gave up. If there's no answer here, there likely isn't one to be found ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] nivron:
If you have access to Samsung's Good Lock 2018 app (via the Galaxy Apps store), install it. There's an app called "Routines" that gets installed with it. It is like a *very * basic Tasker, but it has the necessary permissions to turn on the tethering on my AT&T S9+. I fought with Tasker/AutoInput on my S7E and the S9+ until the new Good Lock came out.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] berzerkus:
This worked great for me. I really wish I'd have looked back at this post sooner!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] user9082390:
anyone know how to get Routines to use Bluetooth NEAR instead of necessarily being Bluetooth CONNECTED?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] fletchersyntax:
If only there was a routine to turn off wifi tether when the bluetooth connection dropped.... It's so close to perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] user9082390:
I guess this is all a moot point now that Routines is no longer supported in Pie.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] brycestejskal:
Its June 14th, 2019.

AT&T Note 9 locked, not rooted, all the latest updates.

I have tried just about every possible way of doing this. There are a few ways that work, but only one works reliably.

1. Install Samsung Good Lock - It works for me, today, as of posting, on pie just fine.

2. install Tasker

3. in Good lock - create a bluetooth connected to XXXX routine to enable hotspot

4. in Good lock - create a routine to disable hotspot on wifi enable

5. in tasker - create routine to enable wifi on inverted bluetooth connected to XXXX

I never want true wifi enabled while I am in my vehicle with my andoid head unit.

I always want wifi on when not in my vehicle.

Samsung good lock has the perms to enable/disable hotspot just fine.

Only use of tasker in this is to turn wifi on when disconnected from vehicle bluetooth, which triggers the samsung routine to turn off the hotspot.

Works flawlessly, which I cannot say for Tasker+AutoInput or any other method.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] bmeek:
Good Lock + Routines' [WiFi | Tether] automation rocks

I realize it's been a year, but I'm SO glad I finally found this solution. As of now, Good Lock (V 1 .0.00.64) with Routines, current and running on Android 10, seems to undo actions automatically after the routine's trigger condition ends. IOW, when I turn off my car and the ATOTO bluetooth connection ends, the Mobile Hotspot is shut down pretty quickly and automatically (otherwise Samsung's Mobile Hotspot can be set to turn off after 10 minutes of inactivity).

I also setup a simple routine to turn on WiFi when I'm within 20 meters of my house (the only place I use WiFi for Internet access and controlling local WiFi-connected devices). As with the simple Bluetooth-connection-triggering-Hotspot Routine, I notice that WiFi is automatically turned back off when I leave home.

My US model S9 (G960U1) is the first phone I've had in the last decade where I couldn't unlock the bootloader and gain root... Good Lock and Routines almost mitigates that big annoyance (and I have grudgingly found better uses for my time then constantly flashing new Android builds :). Big thanks to [MENTION=380212]brycestejskal[/MENTION] for pointing Samsung's Good Lock + Routines.

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

FYI, with the current version of Good Lock + Routines on Android 10, the use of Tasker is unnecessary in this scenario. Routines now appears to turn off Hotspot automatically after the Bluetooth connection goes away.

As for turning WiFi back on, I only want WiFi to be on routinely [sic] while at home, so I created a simple Routine to do that (one condition: Near home address; one action: Turn on WiFi).

I had previously installed Tasker for these specific tasks, but it failed without having root. I've now uninstalled Tasker.

Thanks again for your posting, [MENTION=380212]brycestejskal[/MENTION] ! I needed this pointer.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] user9082390:
truth. It's been working great for me actually. Getting the Android Head Unit to cooperate is another issue. The only problem I have experienced with Good Lock + Routines is when Android OS gets upgraded, Good Lock + Routines is broken for about a month or so.

And thank you for your message above, as your idea to only turn on Wifi at particular locations might be able to help me in my quest to disable my phone from continually connecting to Xfinity hotspots (I am Xfinity mobile subscriber) wherever I go.

Thank you to everyone on this forum actually.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] brycestejskal:
Thanks [MENTION=498764]bmeek[/MENTION] and [MENTION=9521789]user9082390[/MENTION]!

Since I wrote this, I stopped using tasker. The wifi hotpot can be set to disable after 5 minutes, and locations>enableWifi bridges the gap as you mentioned.

Only issue I ever have, is in low service areas, sometimes the hotspot fails to "provision". I then usually can get it to work by manually turning wifi off, then enabling hotspot. A minor downside for something that works flawlessly 99% of the time. GoodLock + Routines with my 10.1" android headset still rocks. Really glad I went with the headunit. I was concerned it would be slow junk. It works great.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] bmeek:
Do mean that the mobile hotspot intermittently fails to start; starts but won't give your head unit a connection/IP address; or it let's the head unit connect but then fails do it's job as a NAT router and provide Internet access?

I experienced the latter flaw a few times when I had configured my hotspot to "5GHz preferred" after someone on an xda ATOTO A6 Pro thread reported seriously better performance at 5GHz. I'm back at 2.4GHz and it's working reliably.

So I doubt you have a 10.1" "android headset"... Are you referring to the Atoto A6Y1021PR head unit? If so, I'm envious of your old school volume knob :).

I had feared that a swiveling 10 inch display would be a thief magnet in my old Lexus (that also lacks steering wheel controls), so l got the more conventional A6Y2721PRB (IPS display with a row of physical buttons beneath the screen). I wish it had a faster CPU as the UI lags occasionally, and I would prefer a volume knob instead of the buttons, but it's a great head unit overall!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] brycestejskal:
The hotspot fails to start on occasion. It will state that it was unable to provision, and to contact service provider. Toggling hotspot manually thereafter results in same error. If I then turn of the Wifi, and then enable hotspot, it will work fine. Usually doesn't happen.

Lol, yeah not headset, but headunit. Silly typo.

It is an AndroidAutoShop variation of the XTRONS brand. I actually received mine after a Paypal dispute, but I would not recommend ordering from them. I just REALLY wanted that DSP and took the risk. It arrived 2 months late.

Mine has the DSP and IPS, and is 10.1" screen with the PX5 chip, 4GB ram. Even on that, the UI lags occasionally, but I only ever care when I am at a stop. It is fast enough that I do not notice the lags while driving. Using a 7" Pioneer with Android Auto was just as laggy in my experience actually.

The Atoto offerings are neat, but I didn't care about some of the "pros" it offered, vs the "pros" for the Xtrons/AAS unit. Just depends on how you plan to use it. I have zero need for BT5.0 APTX receiving, because I use the headunit as the source running the app. Didn't want the screen jutting up higher due to the knob design. My headunit mounts at the top of the dash, so anything higher is further into field of view. Wanted DSP, didnt care about built-in amp because using RCA to big amps, etc etc.

Really happy with my unit. In a different vehicle, I prolly would go with the atoto.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] bmeek:
(not about automating WiFi Tether)

Good to hear that you're happy and the unit you received is working well. I hadn't heard about AndroidAutoShop.com, so I googled it and scanned the xda thread about them (and saw your post near the end). Sounds like you may have received the very last unit they sold...

Their current "web site" reads like an ironic yet somehow fitting epitaph (given the reports of customer's inquiries of "where's my stuff?"):

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] thecdn:
I've had a G3 d851 for a couple of years and am currently running crDroid v4.0, 8.1. I'm thinking of moving to a G5 and so I've been looking through these forums to see what rom I might use if I bought one. It seems that there is very little development of 8.* roms for the G5 which is surprising considering the G3 has crDroid, RR, and AICP at 8.1 off the top of my head. I'm wondering why a much newer phone seems to have less 8.* development. Or is there something I've missed from my quick perusal of this forum?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] thecdn:
105 views with no reply. What's the record :)

I guess the lack of replies is my answer as far as the development of 8.* on this phone. Kind of sucks because although I do want to advance as far as phones go I didn't want to go backward with the software.

Maybe there is another good phone out there with a removeable battery and sdcard?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nimueh:
I've had the G5 for almost 2 years now and development has always been slow. Right now I'm looking at other phones as well, my main choice being the Huawei Honor View 10 since it has an SD card at least. I don't think any phone still has a removable battery :crying:

My other choices would be HTC U11+ and Moto Z2 Force, both with external SDs ... but those 2 don't have any roms at all so far. The View 10 has 4 or 5 for Oreo already, so that's looking much better than the other 2 and hell, better than the G5 with 0 Oreo roms :laugh:
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] thecdn:
Thanks alot for the reply, was starting to feel pretty lonely here. I'm surprised at the development for the View 10 - I've got a Huawei tablet and the difficulty of developing for the Kirin chip has been mentioned several times in the forum. My daughters P10 Pro arrived yesterday, they make nice hardware.

Some excellent food for thought. Again, thanks.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nimueh:
Well Huawei gave the View 10 to pretty much every dev, from different roms to Magisk :laugh:

Thanks to Treble development seems to be easier now, but the Kirin difficulty is the reason I haven't made up my mind 100% so far. I still have almost 3 months to decide though, that's when my current contract is up ... I'll either get a cheap one and wait for THE right phone or a more expensive one WITH a phone. I hate those decisions though :crying: :laugh:
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] thecdn:
Yeah, I had pretty much decided on the G5 until I became aware of the state of development on it. Now it's back to the drawing board.

I like your avatar. We are big cat people, have four of them.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nimueh:
That's Clyde, he was my favourite for 11 years until I had to put him down almost 2 years ago when he lost the fight with chronic kidney failure :crying:

Now I have 2 left, his sister Bonny and an older female, Fussel :)

Back on topic: If you're happy with stock or custom stock roms the G5 is still a great phone. AFAIK it only has issues on custom roms since they can't seem to get some stuff working properly like NFC, fast charge or Bluetooth calling. I'm pretty sure custom stock roms don't have those problems so if you can live with one of those then go for it :good:

My axon 7 a2017u is rooted with magisk. I tried to change to a new font with ifont, it looks working, I but after reboot, I don't see the font changed. how do I change system font after rooted with magisk? Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
you probably have write protection on or something like that. Hook the phone up to a PC, make the adb connection, then "adb reboot disemmcwp". You can't do that via terminal or the TWRP command line.

Try that and tell me. It may not work.

Try TypeFace from playstore

emmcwp has nothing to do with system modification on twrp
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xdataibai:
It doesn't work. I think it is some kind of write protection. Magisk cannot retain the root request after reboot, it prompts the root request pop-up again when app runs. I tried supersu, during flash, I see something like systemless mode detected..., but flash successful, but when supersu runs, it says no root detected

Does anyone else experience broken Google Reminders? I figure that the problem is that the app is busted, and that it has nothing to do with this phone. Is that right? Just wanted to double check.

So the solution should be to look for an alternative app, right?

To be more specific, the location-based reminders are completely busted. I recently made a couple reminders (while I was out in the city) for when I got to work, and both of them promptly went off when I got home. I was so mad...

The time-based reminders seem to be working fine though. If I set a reminder to go off at a certain time, that is.

Basketbuild.com/devs/Warrenlobo

I found this online. Contains number of Oreo builds for Redmi 2 (wt88047), but when I flash the Lineage OS Build update 16-03-2018 , it returns Error 7, says this is for the following devices....

A list of all the redmi 2 models appears on screen, including 2014818..

This is the only file I've tried from the list.

Can someone confirm if this is legit?

I'm looking for a stable Oreo 8.1 Build for this device.
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] warrenlobo:
Dont test it there are many cause i am trying to make them perfect i will continue it after my exams
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] m!xal!s:
Dear warrenlobo,

I just want to say that I already tried the two most recent builds and I'm impressed. :D

I was looking for an alternative rom for my Redmi 2 (2014813/wt86047) because MIUI updates have stopped a long time ago.

So I was searching for some recent builds of Lineage OS and by chance I read this post and this is how I located your repository.

First, I tried to flash lineage-15.1-20180316-UNOFFICIAL-wt88047.zip but got error 7 (This might be a problem with the recovery), so I removed the checks from the script and it flashed ok. The rom was slow, had some random reboots, maps and earth was crashing, FM Radio was not working but other apps, camera and settings were working. Modem was not working on my device and I had to flash a compatible

NON-HLOS.bin

.

Then I flashed the latest version, lineage-15.1-20180321-UNOFFICIAL-wt88047.zip in which maps and earth are running without crashes, FM Radio is not working and I think that the camera app is completely missing because the camera launcher is crashing probably it doesn't find any cameras in hardware level. The rom is slow, had some random reboots, but very promising with good battery life and I have it installed on my phone for now.

edit: Forgot to write that AudioFX is not functioning properly, you can enable it after a song starts but on the next song the sound would be muted.

Warrenlobo, when you finish your exams, it might be a good idea to start a thread for this rom, with some development changes so we can send you feedback and help you improve this. I think that it is very close to being a fully functional/full speed Lineage OS Oreo rom for Redmi 2. Also I think that you should make it an official LineageOS rom.

Thank you very much and good luck with your exams. :)

Why dont he build android go edition ? Much better and will smoothier .
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] m!xal!s:
Android Go is a slim Android edition for very basic/entry level phones. It has a simpler graphics, needs special apps because it has a limited/simpler set of libraries.

I think that Redmi2 is a decent phone, capable to run the full Android. But it could be built as an alternative to the full experience and it can be useful for devices with 1GB of RAM.

it actualy sucks. Gold leaf works better, but is much more difficult. You have to create something like a maze on a piece of clear tape and leave the part that the two antenas press up against.

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] joshthetechie:
I have a Huawei Honor 6X BLN-L24 that recently attempted to do an OTA update. The update corrupted the ROM and bricked the phone. Whenever I turn on the phone, a screen comes up stating: "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted." It gives me options to boot into recovery mode and fastboot mode. I can't access fastboot to flash a new ROM via ADB. When I go into recovery, it tries to download and install an updated firmware, but fails.

I already tried downloading the firmware from Huawei's website, extracting it, and putting the files on a microSD card to try to install it from recovery. However it won't let me install it from the SD card.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to save this phone?

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] conjoinme:
Hi friends,

Please help me! I dropped my Mi5 (64GB version) by mistake few weeks back. It has gone into bootloop since then.

I had bought this phone approx. 6 months back. So, it has locked bootloader and I didn't enable usb debugging as well so adb is out of the question. It doesn't boot in recovery. The only thing I can get it to boot in fastboot mode. I am kicking myself for not taking the backup. Is there a way to recover the files (photos, videos)? Has someone tried testpoint method and can confirm the data was not lost? Recovery of data is primary for me so I won't mind striping it down and pull out the memory card if possible. Please help.

Thanks a lot in advance!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] slaskwroclaw18:
I got my Pixel 2 XL 3 weeks ago and love it. My battery has had mixed results. On my best day I have had 5 hours of SOT but it seems lately it has been mediocre at best. I will get about 16 hours of total battery life with ~2 hours of SOT. I am mostly on WI-FI during the day with about 2-3 hours on LTE when I am commuting on a train. I keep my screen at 25% brightness and have adaptive display turned off. I do keep GPS on high accuracy and bluetooth on (for my pixel buds when I ride the train). I speculate it is due to poor LTE reception when I am at home (I work from home while I commute to classes in the evening) due to the results I got on the GSAM app (screenshot below). But I have also noticed a lot of drain from Google Play Services and the Android System.

I do have intensive apps such as Facebook and Snapchat.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
That actually sounds reasonable considering your usage pattern. Bluetooth, poor cell signal, Snapbook, Facechat, and lots of movement are all known culprits for decreased battery life. Are you stock or rooted?? If rooted there's a magisk module to help keep Google play services in check :cool:

i had read it have a issue with Android 8.1 or maybe Google Play Services. I don't know if it was fixed or not.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Corduroy-21:
It's probably because of your low number of posts.

Judging from these screenshots I think your bad signal is an important reason for this. Did you try using only 3G when commuting or at home? Don't you have wi-fi at home? You should check the drain when the phone has good signal. If the drain is the same, then maybe there's something else (like Google Services etc.).

But the GSam graph shows atrocious signal most of the time.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] slaskwroclaw18:
It is a little ridiculous. I am in somewhat poor LTE reception in my apartment but in an hour I had 5% drain with only 8 minutes of SOT. My battery usage breakdown is from 100% to 95%:
