[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] onestoploser:
I know this is an old post but dude you're a lifesaver. This was driving me nuts until I found your post!
[General Questions and Answers] CrimsonToker:
Straight to the point:

1) is it true using an off brand charger can damage your phone's battery? Like, an LG charger for a Samsung phone.

2) Does topping up your battery life (putting on charger at 65%) damage it?
[General Questions and Answers] Thespartann:
1. That is true, i don't recommend using chineese chargers or other charges than your "Stock" one, if you don't have the "Stock" charger for an while, its ok to use a charger with similar "Specs"

2. That can damage your battery life.
[General Questions and Answers] CrimsonToker:
Thanks, that's great to know!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] citivsaltivsfortivs:
Hi everyone,

within the past 3 weeks I have rooted (with magisk), installed xposed, gcam 8g2v6, uninstalled xposed and everything seemed ok until then.

And afterwards I replaced the mediaprofiles.xml file and I began to see tons of errors related to whatsapp, camera apps, etc. and therefore had to make a factory reset through settings menu of the phone.

Now rooted again but even before the root or now neither the stock camera app or the other camera apps are shooting video or letting me choose resolution for video. I can only record on open camera app through activating camera2.api.

Really having a hard time on how to shoot video properly again. Whatever camera app I install to shoot video starts in a very low resolution mode like 640*480. Even the video settings in the stock camera app are not there. At what point did I mess things up and how can I restore to how things were? No problems with the photo mode/quality by the way. I am on 9.2.1.0 global.

Appreciate any help. thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] citivsaltivsfortivs:
Having tried pretty much whatever I have found on the web and still no success. Pls help.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] andrei80:
Reflash ROM, should work
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] citivsaltivsfortivs:
Thanks for the idea. However I am on global stable rom. And I already wiped and reset through phone menu once. No change.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] andrei80:
I don't think that factory reset can revert the changes that root apps can do. Not the same thing...
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] tihomirone:
Resetting the rom only resets the settings and states of the applications to their default values and thus behavior . But seems like that you changed something more - most probably some files are changed, which could not be reverted to the original state by factory reset. You have to flash the rom again. And will be better if you format the system partition before that.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] citivsaltivsfortivs:
Thanks. Do you mean I should reinstall the Global Factory rom externally through (TWRP or else software)???

If i do so, do I have to format the system partition and do I lose my IMEI?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] tihomirone:
Yes, reinstall with twrp. You will not lose your IMEI. It's not on system partition. If you have some doubt, flash official ROM with MiFlash. But my advise is use twrp. Deleting system partition is not mandatory, but make factory reset at least after flash.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] citivsaltivsfortivs:
Luckily the phone updated itself to 9.5.2.something. and the camera is back. :victory: Thanks for the help though.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] alwan_afif:
Hello guys, i meet some problem in charging. So i have 'blue' usb charging cable. But when i connect to my mido there's not charging (now), yesterday it's just okay. But when i connect that's to another phone it's just ok and charging.

I have try another usb cable to my mido and it's working. So i think (now) my phone doesn't compatible with that's 'blue' usb charging cable. It's there any solution? Now i'm using Resurrection Remix os.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] sk8223:
Just ditch the one that's not working for the USB cable that is working. Not all USB cables are of the same spec or quality.

If this new cable stops working too, it could be a charging port issue. Maybe the port is loose and needs to be replaced, or got fried somehow. Or maybe the port needs to be cleaned.

So... Ads, ads and ads. Finally Adguard Premium has let me down on the "Ads Front." So I decided to download Android Studio, took forever to find sdk 23 (complete) but did, cloned Adhell 3 source into build and "POOF" out came a "app-debug.apk." (Adhell 3) Grabed knox license and all is well on my s5. Crazy cause MinMinGuard apparently is up to no good. Here is screen shot. No ads or redirects. just thought I would share my new ad-free experience with you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] waingro808:
Another cool new feature of Adhell 3 is that you can disable specific apps from using mobile data. (a feature that I believe should be built-in stock android; LineageOS has it)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dhopack:
could you share the .apk sir? so we can edit package name via editor pro.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Yanchev:
Could you link the host file?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fxsoap:
Here's a guy who hosted it and the thread it was in here if it's not working let me know, I have it saved too
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NewWorldOrphan9:
If anyone was wondering, the updated README.md on https://github.com/fusionjack/adhell3 says:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 1droidmod:
If i were you, i would register at gitlab to get latest source. for example, the block url address was changed so basically if the old url is in there, well, don't exhist anymore, no more block list, like empty host file. its not hard to build, he provides clear steps on his gitlab page.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 1droidmod:
even better, new SABS

https://github.com/GoldenKappa/notSABS
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mankvl:
Any way to get pre made apk? I would then change its name with APK Editor Pro and add my knox, or I need to do that when making the app with android studio?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 1droidmod:
yes, obviously you did not try the link I provided.

go to the link that I posted. You have a choice to download either or as in compiled or not.

oh yeah, make sure to view the page in desktop version.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mankvl:
I'am using notSABS, all good, thanks. Just wanted to try Adhell 3
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 1droidmod:
SORRY!!

was assuming u were asking about notSABS, not adhell3.

2 b honest with you, notSABS is working better for me as adhell 3 force closes here and there, was pretty annoying.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] VandyCWG:
Any changes in 1.0.0 other than the rebirth?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Bobzee:
Hello, could I ask if you know who is the official dev of Adhell3?

I would LOVE to see sub-service control for Google Play Services. The idea of hiding it is apparently to protect the users, but system services is exactly what needs to be controlled the most.

Could you please, pretty please, somehow release a version that also lists system apps when viewing service control? I am sick and tired of GPS drain and the way I could control that in Android 7 was by disabling a significant number of them (mostly analytic/datamining-related services, and some location services).

Alternatively, I might try to re-build the app with this modification myself, but I am nowhere near as good in java to do that yet. If the dev can see this - please give us more control. And THANK YOU for giving us any kind of sub-service and permission control at all. Nobody else did this for us since Oreo. THANKS!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] StewMaker:
Same name here as in Gitlab.

It's a simple change in Android Studio for what you're looking for if you build the app itself. It's just changing 1 line.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Too bad that adhell 3 doesn't have a Dark or Black mode - Was really easy to install & get it verified ?

I'm still using notSABS on of my devices & BK Manager on another - Not really sure if there's much (if any) difference between notSABS & adhell 3....? ?

Adhell3=Old News

I have been using adguard premium for months now and I would have to say it how much better application for blocking ads and unwanted spyware being tracked, etc.

EDIT:I'm only speaking on my personal experience I'm not trying to down talk adhell3 in anyway
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Dragon31337:
How can I remove blocks which I had before the key has expired?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mike B.:
Since Adhell3 is no longer under active development, it matters little, but they are two different animals. Adhell is/was merely a tool to configure the underlying Knox firewall and YOU decided what it should and should not block. While Adguard's DNS server is one of the suggested alternatives, the full Adguard app gives you only very limited choices and uses additional resources.

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

Simply uninstall Adhell and your Knox settings will revert to default.

Is it needed?

Bough a glass one, but wonder if really needed. I mean
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] MrColdbird:
Nope. Bareback for me.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] claudioita:
I always used screen protector in the past, and was good idea (the protection got scratches), Does this phone have special coating of some sort?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] MrColdbird:
No idea if it has any special coatings, but for me it's doing a great job at being scratch resistive.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Konstantine34:
You better keep your screen protection on. The screen gets scratched even by fabric, jeans etc. Realised that in 2 weeks after buying and my nano protector is on it like +1 year.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] claudioita:
You mind sharing the link to buy your screen protector model.

Do you use a cover?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] james1089:
The back cover is more important though, it's a drop to the corner which will crack the screen everytime, the screen won't last long enough to worry about the scratches without a cover. So both would be good but no screen protector here, then again I don't have loads of pills in my pocket
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] cobben:
Imho Mofi flip cases are among the best.

Search on AliExpress, possibly Ebay.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] james1089:
It probably is but this is still best looking phone out there and don't really want to cover it up.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Konstantine34:
I've bought them from a local seller in Turkey. First tried a couple of tempered glass screen protectors but the shape of edges were ruining them. So nano one doesn't cover the whole screen but sticks completely, feels more clean. It's like this:

True, Used the device w/o a cover for 2 weeks until I find a cool one, because seller didn't give my original leather one. Anyway don't mention our special business here and take a look at my covers, I like the cabron fibre looking one as you know:
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] cobben:
Then you should keep it in a glass cabinet and only look at it once a day, no touching! :)

But it is slippery as an eel, as the Swedish saying goes, and both the screen and the ceramic bezel will crack on first corner drop.

Any back cover will also "cover it up", and the flip cover even protects the screen from scratches in your pocket.

The least bad choice, better than buying a new phone every few months at least.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Questions & Answers] wildess:
Hello,

I have tried many unofficial roms (LineageOS,Resurrection Remix-N,AOKP-N,AOSiP,crDroid,dotOS), all of them have a problem: can not encrypt phone, after click the button "encrypt phone", the system reboot, but nothing happen, the phone still not encryptted.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Questions & Answers] P650SE:
I was thinking about buying this phone, but if encryption isn't supported in custom ROMs then maybe I will have to look elsewhere. :(
[Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Questions & Answers] wildess:
more details: if you have encryptted phone in official miui rom, don't format data partition, just flash unofficial rom, then you will keep the phone encryptted, but wifi will not working. So , encryption and wifi, you can only choose one.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Questions & Answers] P650SE:
That is unfortunate! WiFi is definately more important than encryption but it's a shame you can't have both at the same time. It sounds like the only solution for the moment is just to run MIUI until custom ROMs are able to support encryption properly without making compromises.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Questions & Answers] GenLan4:
Don't be paranoic guys, a phone is still unsecure even with a working encryption enabled. In most of cases better have a last patched updated software like in custom Than in miui. You can boost your security settings with a firewall, like afwall+ (obviously can be avoided even that),but the conclusion is that the only secured phone is a phone switched off and without battery, or an old phone like Nokia 3310??
[Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AL_IRAQI:
ROMs has nothing to do with that, just tell ROM devs to use LOS kernel instead of Priima ;)
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] sanke1:
Any news or ETA for 3CA on our Pixel 2/XL phones? Half price One Plus users laugh at us as they can enjoy 3CA on Jio.

Let me explain why 3CA is important. On Jio, it latches to either B40 (No CA) or B3+B5 (2CA). Everyone knows how congested and pathetic B40 is. I barely get 1 Mbps when on it in Mumbai. However, internet speed is excellent when connected in B3+B5 mode. Always in excess of 30 Mbps and low pings. If 3CA is enabled by google, then we can have B3+B5+B40 at all times and speed will also be great and latency issues will be solved. I do repent that I got this overpriced phone which not only has screen issues, but cannot behave like a Top-Of-The-Line product because of Google's incompetence. BTW 3CA is already enabled on the Verizon Network in US.

Do Google even give a s*** about Indians apart from data harvesting?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Sukhi:
Which App did you use to check the CA on stock? If you're rooted you can still use Network Guru to lock bands. I agree, at times, there was much hoopla by Google Twitter of launching the Wifi calling on Jio which over the passage of time has gone down the drain. Maybe the regulations are to be blamed. Google really needs to step up the game as it's slowest among all OEM's to update the carrier patches in India. Still no updated patch for Airtel VoLTE.

If you have no hurry to download your porn at leisurely pace of 1 kbps then you speak for yourself.

I need more speed if it is LTE network irrespective of downloading Porn or any random stuff off the net.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] sanke1:
Finally we are there. 3CA activated for JIO network on Pixel 2 devices from Android P latest beta.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Sukhi:
Great !
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] sanke1:
BTW just to follow up on my previous post. Even though Google has enabled 3CA on Pixel 2 Devices from Android P Dev Preview 3, it does not do jack squat to speeds. 2CA speeds are better than 3CA.

As soon as I see 3CA in Net Monster, speed drops to half of 2CA. Pathetic.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] chetan31:
BTW, How is the experience on Android P. Do we have better animation compared to Oreo???

in-fact i was willing to exchange my Pixel 2 XL for Oneplus 6 as i was disappointed by CA speeds on Jio. Then i came across your thread on 3CA and decided to wait for Android P update. Pixel is incredible device but these small glitch just turns off. Now Volte update for other carriers like Airtel, Vodafone etc is a challenge as they have fallover for calls on 2G 3G networks and Google will never update them until pixel 3 launch....
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] allcaps33:
Just throwing this out there:

Google is not responsible (even with GoogleFi) for this type of stuff. They leave it at the hands of network carriers to provide better network throughput, latency, and availability.

Google does not actually own any physical tower to transmit or receive network signal. In truth, they're not responsible for it even on the Pixel and Nexus families!!!

They leave it to the carriers, so when you connect or insert a Sim card of a particular carrier, the needed firmz/warez are downloaded upon Sim card (GoogleFi) activation.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] sanke1:
What a load of uninformed drivel.

Implementing Carrier Aggregation is in the hands of Phone Manufacturer and it has to be implemented via software update. Jio supports 3CA B5+B3+B40. But they cannot do anything if Google is ignorant about it. It has got nothing to do with owning towers or spectrum.

Google is just a marketing company who happens to release Pixel phones due to peer pressure.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] allcaps33:
You said it yourself, Google is just a marketing company.

Hence, they are "not responsible" for the firmware updates *with specific regards to radio drivers and related firmware*

An example:

Qualcomm creates drivers (and "micro code") for the radios used on our handsets (as Qualcomm integrates radio trx hardware on the SoC). If Qualcomm doesn't release code/drivers for a particular chipset (SoC) or a particular version/iteration, then handset companies such as HTC, LG, Huweii, etc, canNOT provide a means of software integration, which means companies like Googe, or Verizon, or ATT, canNOT update their handsets, which means you do NOT get access to these network iterations.

Now, if oem manufacturers feel a bit squirrelly, sure, they'll release patchwork to get hardware integrated on the network, but you've already covered that. Also, there is no incentive for them to do it. Why? Because there's more money in selling newer handsets with upgraded firm/warez with the "new" software.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psfdwwh:
Hello

I've found a Nexus 7 2013 online selling for 75 USD. I've never really searched for the Nexus before now so i'm unsure if this is actually a decent or even good price, or if it's pretty normal.

Also, i'm planing to use it for my car. How good is the aux output? I'm asking because not too long ago i bought a Lenovo Tab 7 tb-7504x. But the aux output isn't really good. Sound quality is ok, but the volume is too low. Before that i used an old HTC Flyer, and the Audio was both, louder and better quality wise.

Thanks

If you're planning to use it in your car, ensure the USB port is'nt faulty. The 2013's micro USB is notoriously known to break. Mine is broken, but luckily the 2013 has wireless charging, so I can still charge it with a QI charger.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] shevtak:
Hi,

I rooted a new A3 (2017) sm-a320fl device for a friend using CF-Auto-Root from firmware.mobi.

However, it turns out that after tripping KNOX and blowing the eFuse automatic OTA updates are now broken.

Is there any way to return to OTA updates?

My friend would prefer to not have root and return to a newly flashed stock ROM rather than not receive automatic system updates. However, I'm not sure if this will be possible at all, now that KNOX is already tripped and eFuse blown?

And if there is no way to return to OTA updates, then what is the easiest way to install updates from now on?

I missed the whole KNOX/eFuse development and went ahead too quickly and thoughtlessly without thorough research and now I'm dreading that there may be no way back to a newbie-friendly device for my friend...

Hope some of you can help us out.
