My friend, you don't sound mean - you sound childish and defensive and completely out of order.

On top of that you are giving out false information.

I don't think you even bothered to read the post and if you did you have no understanding at all of the first few lines.

If you had read the post you would see that it CLEARLY addresses everything you raise and has been made to provide helpful feedback.

Your tone is NOT helpful - it is patronising.

The point at XDA is to share feedback on what one finds for the benefit of others.

If you have a contribution, go ahead.

Here you personalize the matter for no reason at all, and turn the post into a squabble that is not helpful to anyone else.

Remember that someone took the time to make the post. If you want to give Xiaomi a party, wire directly to them.

There is a reason I posted this topic - it's not a waste of time.

I will not reply to you again:

Let others look and see for themselves.

False information?? I just gave two screenshot of the wallpaper carousel.... yet i'm the one giving false information..
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kolembo:
Either it is false or we are talking about two different ROMs or there is something wrong with my phone.

Either way, respect the experiences of others - they are free to test and then contribute their experiences.

We will find out together - this is what we do.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildger:
We are talking about the same rom, that's why in both screenshots i put the rom info.

Themes Apps is Not broken like you said in the title is region locked

http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1906854&extra=&page=1&mobile=2

Easy way to see is there, go to settings and in the search settings put "car" and you will it is listed..
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kolembo:
This is not my experience - let's see what others say.

Nevertheless, that notice is precisely why this post is here.

In fact that notice alone deserves it's own thread.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dewa5227:
Carousel is available in region India, in some region it wasn't available.

and no, it's not broken.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildger:
THANK YOU!.

Now he may understand that i'm not giving false information with screenshots from the rom....
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kolembo:
Let's see where this goes.

It's not a political campaign.

They've pulled the update, let's see where it goes. As far as my update it stands unchanged.

I don't have: settings > locksreen > wallpaper carousel on 9.5.3

I also don't see categories to select.

All I have is: settings > themes

Onward .
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildger:
Then you have an issue with your setup. Because so far there is nothing in the miui forums and they are the first to complaing is some feature is missing.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kolembo:
What I'm telling you is that it is not there.

Let the update roll out and we'll see what is happening when we have enough feedback.

That exact hint is WHY this post was made.

Settings > lockscreen/passwords > wallpaper carousel does not exist in 9.5.3.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fuarkgl3:
I still don't get why people use miui
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildger:
Why not?

1)The battery is much better than in any AOSP Rom, yes even better than in AtomicOS. Some old version of MiuI had issues with the battery,but this stable and the current dev version have good battery.

2)Ram managment is better than most AOSP Rom, the only one that does a better job is the Vainilla AOSP by Phh

Most of the time it uses less than 2gb of ram

View attachment 4458577

3)The ugly part (personal taste), the launcher can be changed by any launcher you like This is how mine looks

View attachment 4458571

4)Even without root, you can fully debloat it using ADB

5)Clock to the left is the future xD look at the Android P DP1

6)The real downside, no camera2api, no big deal, root and enable c2api and install the gcam you like.

What can i say, i´m a happy camper with MiuI. It does all i need.

Now tell me, why we shouldn´t use it?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] tolgaberk:
Can i ask which launcher are you using ?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xikz:
I think the exact same thing, current global stable or dev are way more stable than any custom rom and with much better battery management.

It's pixel launcher. Been using too!! https://www.xda-developers.com/rootless-pixel-launcher-google-feed/
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kolembo:
So.... carousel remains broken in all subsequent updates.

Themes apk is available for use if you set your region for outside of the EU.

I moved to Global beta 8.4.19 and it's much more stable.

There is a work around for Wallpaper Carousel.

You have to download Nova launcher to access hidden apps.

First, go to apkmirror search for miui wallpaper Carousel apk and download and install.

Next install Nova.

Nova settings>Gestures & inputs>swipe up>shortcuts>activities>wallpaper Carousel>the 2nd option (settingsActivity)

Now in Nova Launcher you've mapped wallpaper Carousel setting to the swipe up gesture.

N.B. although you can turn on carousel, and set the interval, you'll see that you can no longer add your own wallpaper, nor can you control what feeds in BUT you will get wallpaper changes according to your schedule.

Make sure that in the Themes apk>customize>lockscreen you've set to default.

P.S. here they say that they've delayed Mi 7 release: https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-7-delayed-q3-3d-facial-recognition-technology/

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ptheguy:
I'm suffering from excessive battery drains on Note 8, Nougat 7.1.1. The battery drain is excessive when on idle mode/when the phone is asleep. I have installed BetterBatteryStats (gave it all permissions) and tested with different settings for a couple days.

My findings:

I strongly believe the issue is with my wifi.

Day 1: I kept wifi on, turned off "adaptive wifi" and "wifi power saving mode" and set "keep wifi on during sleep" to always. Battery drain was very excessive at home. In BBS, wlan_rx_wake and powermanagerservice.wakelocks were very high and phone didn't doze much. When I left home and went to the library and was connected to my school's wifi, the phone dozed, and the two wakelocks mentioned didn't occur any more. In fact, from the screenshot you can see the two flat regions are those when I was at the library, and the downhill regions are when I was home.

Day 2: I kept wifi on, turned on "adaptive wifi" and "wifi power saving mode" and set "keep wifi on during sleep" to never. No change. The results were just like day 1. Excessive wakelocks and battery drain. In fact, funny enough, the wakelocks occurred more often as if "wifi power saving mode" was doing the opposite of what it was supposed to.

Day 3: I turned off wifi completely, and was on cellular the whole time. Battery performance was amazing. Lost 5% over 10 hours, and I actually used the phone during this time. I made calls, surfed the web and texted. Additionally, the are no excessive wakelocks, and the battery plot is nearly flat the whole time.

In conclusion, I am really confused. At home, wifi kills my battery. At school, wifi doesn't do anything weird. It makes me feel like this is more than just some setting on the phone or some bug with Nougat. Maybe some networking issues with my wifi at home? I was hoping I could better understand my situation by getting help here. Any feedback is welcome. I have screenshots from each day so tell me if you think they'll be helpful. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Conito11:
Make a factory reset... try that, it makes my stars better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OnnoJ:
Could very well be caused by Wifi calling. Try switch off Wi-Fi Calling at home.

I remember having this issue in past with my Note 5 icw bad Cell reception at certain locations.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ptheguy:
But wifi calling is always on, regardless of what wifi I'm connected to. It must be something specific to my wifi at home.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] lmacmil:
Curious if anyone is using (or has tried) an unlocked (non-Verizon) Pixel or Pixel XL on Xfinity Mobile? Xfinity uses the Verizon network and the Verizon site says my phone is compatible. Xfinity doesn't officially support BYOD with Android phones but there seems to be some incidences of Android phones working. I am an Xfinity internet customer so I am eligible if I had a compatible phone. The savings would be significant over my current Consumer Cellular plan.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fiverings:
I've been running that for years. Have a Pixel XL and Xfinity at home. So I'm eligible to use the Xfinity app and it works for me all the time when I'm in a place that has such a signal.

It worked before on my Nexus 6 and 6P. I would go through your settings to make sure you have them set right. Good Luck.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] lmacmil:
You misunderstood the question. I was asking if anyone was using Xfinity Mobile wireless service with a Pixel XL. XM uses the Verizon network for calls and cellular data and (I believe) switches to an Xfinity hotspot if one is in range. Xfinity does not officially support BYOD for Android phones but there people claiming to be using it with their own Android device.

Before you start. Whatever you do. Whatever you want. Dont flash Android 7 if youre frp locked and youre on android 6. Learn of others failure.

So i found a alternative to those google assist and Voice assistant tricks to get you to the internet.

Works on: https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=8A3B64C8509711E7963AFA163EE8F90B

Unpack, flash with odin. AP in the AP slot. BL into the BL slot. And HOME_CSC into csc spot.

Dont check anything but the first and the third option in options.

When you flashed it, it may boot into recovery. Just reboot.

Then press START. Connect to a wifi network press next, and accept the terms of service. And then when it wants you to enter the previous email click on the empty field to open keyboard, on the keyboard long press the second to the left from the SPACEBAR and select the settings logo thing.

It should have taken you to SAMSUNG KEYBOARD settings. On the left side of the ''SAMSUNG KEYBOARD'' there should be an arrow, click on it then select google voice typing. Click on ''Your Feed'' and press ''Feed'' Option. That should take you to a blue screen, Press ''No, Thanks'' in the left corner. Then in Search type ''Chrome'' and tap on the Chrome icon.

you can download Nova Launcher from some apk mirror and use it as an normal tablet.

I've also tried the Google Account Manager trick with quickshortcut maker but that didnt work for me.

Please share all progress you make as i have not bypassed the FRP myself. But well, i made it to the internet! That's some progress, i guess :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 4929york:
If you have a launcher working, you should be able to go to /Settings/Accounts and add a Google account. Then you should be able to restart and use the new account to login and bypass the FRP.

Currently using a stock Amazon XT1687 on Consumer Cellular's AT&T network. Possible substantial savings if it would work on Xfinity Mobile. I am an Xfinity internet customer and the Verizon BYOD page says the phone would work based on the IMEI. Anyone tried this?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
Technically, it should work because it just using Verizon's network, and their own network of Comcast hotspots for WiFi and VoWiFi service... BUT Comcast

requires

you to purchase and use a phone from them to use Xfinity Mobile service, and they actively block all BYOD devices.

Honestly, you are better off just staying with an AT&T MVNO unless coverage is an issue, the few $$ you save are outweighed by the devices you have purchases in most cases. If coverage is an issue, consider Verizon PrePaid or Verizon MVNO's like Straight Talk, Puppy Wireless, or Total Wireless.

To be honest, I left CC a few years ago for a handful of different AT&T MVNO's and finally move to AT&T PrePaid 6GB plan for the family bundling and right balance of data, carry over, and coverage for me.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] lmacmil:
Yes if they continue the no BYOD rule, Comcast won't work. We're very happy with CC. Our data needs are minimal so 1GB of shared data is generally enough. Hard to beat 3 lines for $70.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bobjmjr:
using xfinity mobile. cost for 5 shared lines and unlimited talk and text: $13.50 plus $12 per GB per month. Can get unlimited (slowed after 20 or so GB)data on any one phone for $45 per month.

[LineageOS News & Discussion] Masinissa:
Hello World,

I recently upgraded my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (P900) from CM (Android 5.x) to LineageOS (Android 7.1.2).

The upgrade itself seemed to run fine, but now I get strange write errors with Apps that write into /storage/emulated/0/Android.

I verified that all files and dirs under /data/media/0 have the correct permissions and that they belong to media_rw:media_rw. Yet under /storage/emulated/0/Android there are some files and directories that have plain wrong ownership (root) and even some of those apps whose Android dirs seem to have the correct ownership produce write access errors (despite the owner having write permissions).

I am at my wits end here, since I do not know where the fuse mounted /storage/emulated/0/Android dir gets its permission settings and ownership from - and on top of that the offending dirs don't even show any settings that should prevent them from writing in there.

Hey, did u ever figure this issue out? I'm having a similar issue on my Galaxy Tab 3 7.0. I'm running lineage 14.1, flashed a few things (gapps, SuperSU update, & bootanimation).

My G4's been working fine since i had but about a week ago i noticed it wasn't connecting to any wifi networks. It was searching but couldn't find any.

I did a hard reset and now can't get past the android set up page, as soon as it starts searching for a wifi network it locks up and then reboots after about 10 seconds.

The MAC address is listed as 02:00:00:00:00:00

I've reflashed the Stock ROM that was already on it but it's made no difference,any ideas???

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] puddsykit123:
There's no option to skip the setup unfortunately, It locks up and restarts once its trying to connect to wifi. I've tried using the mobile network but it still crashes and restarts (I'm assuming that this is because wifi is still being turned on).

I'm at a bit of a loss what to do really???

I'm not sure whats causing the issue with the wifi,flashing stock ROM hasn't helped and i'm unable to unlock the bootloader because i can't get it to boot! Any help greatly appreciated!!!
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] puddsykit123:
Im beginning to think that there's no way to fix this,what i can't understand is why the wifi still isn't working after reflashing stock ROM surely that should clear everything back to factory including whatevers stopping the wifi working.

Could possibly be a hardware issuei suppose ,is it possible to replace the wifi chip?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Tgm977:
I still have the original stock rom and exactly the same problem!

The last update ****ed it over!

I will now try cache clear on stock rom before I go further

Edit - No change! Definately need a solution for this

As I have the same problem I will wait for further support so that worst case I can provide help for the other user.

Mobile Data still works tough

Phone: never rooted, after cache clear it doesnt ask for update anymore which helps

EDIT 2: Got it to work. I wsa able to get into a public wifi download the new update and all is fine.

1. Clear cache

2. public wifi or download the latest update from XDA and start manually

This should fix it!
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Technical:
Just to share what helped me to recover Wi-Fi and solve the MAC address 02:00:00:00:00:00:

A. Get the apk file of the Wifi Mac Changer app and install it in your phone without Wi-Fi.

B. Open it and grant root access. You'll see that your "Real" MAC address will be 02:00:00:00:00:00.

C. Then you have your "Fake" Mac Address. Copy it into the line "New Mac" and press "Hard change" button. You don't need even to reboot to restore your Wi-Fi.

D. For me, it worked at the first time, I can also uninstall the app later. Later dirty flashes of ROMs got Wi-Fi without issues.

Hope it helps.
