I'm in the UK and about to pull the trigger on a global ROM Mix Mix 2S from Geekbuying. I use Google Pay all the time (Galaxy S7). Are we saying that Google Pay won't work with this phone?

XA model. Gpay working.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] ArctiX:
Yep, I hope there will be a fix for the XE model, would be nice to get nfc payments also working there.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] GrandMasterPlank:
I'm confused. The previous post said with the XA model Google Pay was working (which uses NFC) yet you state that the XA model needs a fix to get NFC payments working. Can someone give some clarification.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] ArctiX:
Oh I'm sorry, I was half asleep and of course I meant the XE version :)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] parmps:
At least working Magisk...

I have XA modela and GPay on xiaomi.eu isn't working - app works but no card can be added... Who has GPay working on XA and could confirm on which os?

For more people interested:

Finally Google Pay is working on XE models in latest version from today, more info here: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/google-pay.44165/page-4#post-428381

I have tested it on my XE model and i can add my credit card.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] andrews240:
It works on stable MIUI 9.5, but not on the public beta MIUI 10.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] LuHash:
It works on every ROM with Magisk, you just need to use Magisk hide for all Google services (ensure its checked) AND "turn off the ROOT access in MIUI Control Panel in sSecurith section" - the root will remain within Magisk but GPay will not be throwing these error messages anymore
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] teddy74eva:
No, it doesn't work on Chinese MIUI and we've tried every possible solution, it was only recently fixed on xiaomi.eu rom and it's a MIUI bug.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gdroid666:
i am trying to run an app on my mi box 3 that updated my DNS (update no-ip)

but i can not use it because it requires either a menu button press or long press on app switcher button to get nto settings to enter credentials

is there any way i can recreate either of these on the mi box 3?

i have already tried pairing a fire tv stick remote but the menu button on it still does nothing

also tried an xbox one s controller and still no menu button
[SuperSU] Maikelin007:
Good day

Try to root my Xperia Xa1 but also trying to install the recovery through fastboot was left without OS al.ingresar to the recovery install the super user but still no OS, now I try to install it through del.recovery but it is necessary a ROM in Zip or IMG format and the truth I can not find anywhere.

Please if someone has a ROM in this format or knows how I can do it to install the OS I would be very grateful.

Note: I tried to enter the ROM using this method because my cell phone only connects to the flash tool in fastboot mode, because when I went through the recovery installation process, it damaged my entry in flash mode.

Please don’t delete this topic it’s fair warning!

I hate to be right sometimes but as I told long ago after years of testing it turns out that the best camera of Samsung was in S6 / S6Edge+. Test it yourself. Hold S6 in one hand and for example S8 in the other and take a photo in good light. Then zoom it on the phone and you will see that S6 has better details, no artificial brightener while for example S8 has it.

S6 has 16 Mpix and all flagships that came after had 12 Mpix rear camera.

I’ve tested S6 Edge Plus vs. S7 / S8 / S8+, Note8, S9, S9+ and…

only S9+ finally beat S6. (look how Samsung did bad for us from Sep2015 till March2018)

I wish I had NOT sale my S6 and bought a newer one :(

If You don't believe me? Ask XDA members who has S6 and a later Galaxy S model (but not S9+)

This is a Warning for You don't sell your S6!!!! or sell only if you can afford to buy S9+.

I did the wrong thing so I Warn you no to make the same mistake that I did

I have nothing against S7 BTW!!! except cam quality (in good lifght)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tfdeere:
Just curious. What's your thoughts? Will either HTC or Qualcom fix the video driver with the Kaiser? As the end of March approaches with no fix from HTC, it's starting to look grim......
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Fared:
I voted yes, but it isn't that clear cut...

HTC/Qualcom will release a driver for another device which will be ported to the kaiser.

ETA? late fall/early 2009.

so technically HTC/Qualcom is going to fix it, but indirectly...which can probably considered not fixing it...

anyways, i ramble, and the topic is redundant, therefore i bid it farewell before an admin closes it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Doug2873:
yeah I think you need to change the title to "will the driver issue be fixed by HTC"
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Insaneboy:
The fix is going to come, but only when the good people @xda extract it from some device that'll be realeased in the forseeable future.

What do you think is the touchscreen bug going to be fixed with it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mchapman007:
I would hope they do but one can only dream... By then I will be using the X1. Wait, made by HTC also... Forget it..... :mad:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tfdeere:
I hear you. I got excited about the X1 as well...until I saw that it's made by HTC. Although won't it be Sony who controls what software is on it? Still though, I won't hold my breath.....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DarkDvr:
It will, but probably a lot later than we expect. We'll probably have to wait for someone to get on it, or for a release of a similar device with drivers, so we can rip them out of it.

I'd say a year or so..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Zoolooc:
is it up to us?

Just wondering, is it up to our opinions or wishful thinking, if the driver issue will be fixed?

Cheers...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Beeble:
Exactly

No fix for our device. but maybe something which will port over, sometime after we've all upgraded to something else which wont work properly....

I love technology!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fusi:
neither will fix it because they already have your money - they didnt just drop the ball, they put it down carefully and walked off.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] grandpareza:
my magic 8 ball says a definate maybe.

Who knows? They might...they might. Eitherway, everyone here is going to get another, better phone im 6 months.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
I think once that SE X1 phone is released using the qualcomm chip, its bound to be fixed, idk how they think they can manage to get a smoothe UI and playback without the drivers. they will be included in some future 7xxx device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sahoopes:
I voted "Not a chance" because there was no option for "I don't care."
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] liquidsilver:
I put not a chance. Given the number of tweakers here....this group will, for the most part, never be satisfied with the response from HTC.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] firefly77:
The driver will come about 2 weeks after everyone has upgraded the next latest and greatest thing, just in time for it to not be needed....................
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] otheruser:
HTC already released the fix. But Steve Jobs began ddosing their website and forced them to take it offline.

I voted no.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jdmxjoe:
I wish my tilt's camera functioned like the N95 lol...wait then it would be the perfect phone...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gavink:
I believe that even if HTC doesn't resolve it, someone else will. Having said that, nothing I've used my Tilt for has been impacted by this issue, so I probably wouldn't notice the difference that a new driver would make.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tsadek:
Not a chance.

Logically why would they? The promised a "fix" and it achieved 100% of its goals in that everyone shutup and went away to wait.

btw: Notice the choice of the "end of March". Far enough to waste time - not too far to make people crack on with the lawsuit.

It doesn't exist and never will. Straight out of the microsoft school of vapourware that one.

March will go and maybe april. Someone MIGHT say something. They will apologise, blame some "technical problem" and say the fix will be "soon". Another few months will go by and then everyone will have new phones and voila the problem goes away.

Time is NOT on our side. These products have a VERY finite shelf-life and HTC knows this. I'm sure it is one of the reasons they rushed it out sans-drivers in the first place. We are already talking about a device that is 6 months old.

First adopters are half-way through a 12 month contract!

So: As you may guess I voted for not a chance. And now apathy has got me and I would say I don't care. Never buying HTC again though!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
There are existing threads on this subject. USE THEM.

This thread is in any case adding nothing to our understanding, as it's based on guess work - sadly.

We all want a conclusion on this issue but starting another thread is not helping us, but is just another opportunity to fight amongst ourselves.

Unfortunately You are just taking care about details(in good light).

S6 fails in dynamic range, low light conditions, color reproduction against S7.

I did compare it with my S7E along time ago.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
I went back to bone stock several months ago on my Pixel 2XL, and few weeks ago installed the new Android P beta 2, and I LOVE it, but I can't fathom how people can use this phone with all the ads everywhere. I use the Samsung Browser for internet, and use AdGuard pro, and there's really no ads in that browser anymore which is great. But everywhere else there's ads, especially the Google Feed and news. I wish I could force the Google Now feed to use the Samsung browser by default instead going to Chrome type browser only as it does now.

Anyways I am bone stock, I got rid of TWRP Recovery and and completely stock, when the P beta 2, so...how do i start rooting this ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] azpatterson3:
It's the same rooting process as Oreo.

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-xl-t3702418
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Gregzi:
1. Go to Google app setting / Ads and Opt out of them and reset advertising ID. Than Clear all data in Google app and reboot. Feed ads (which are tested by Google at the moment) will be gone.

2. If you are using Samsung Internet browser by default, than disable Chrome . . .

Than all links will be opened by SIB as they are in Ghostery in my case. . .

Or: Change default Browser in Settings / App / Default app / Browser in you want to use Chrome from time to time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disapointed_priv:
Hey Guys,

i got a broken Tolino Vision 3 HD from a friend to fix the issues with the android. It´s a popular ebook reader in Germany.

At the moment I got the device it stuck in language selection and the partition for the ebooks wasn´t shown after USB connection.

So I downloaded the new software version from the vendor "mytolino" (I am not allowed to post urls). I tried to update via

but i got this error:

. So I unpack the .zip and try to flash the images manualy. This didn´t work. After this is tried to copy the update.zip to /sdcard via adb push but this didn´t work, too.

Question:

Is there any way to flash the device with the given update.zip?

Regards and all good wishes from sunny Germany
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bell:
Did you tried to do factory reset? Are you able to boot into recovery using key-combination?

The more heavy way I used yesterday to reanimate my Tolino page after trying to install OpenGapps on them (no, did not work :( oO).

I am not allowed to post URL's because of "Noob-Protection" in Forum. There is a "Tolino Vision 2 rooten" howto in web. Some parts of them you can use to solve your problem.

1. Create own ADB-Enabled custom recovery (Did worked for me only with 10.0.1 update package). Should be done on Linux

$ mkdir custom_recovery
$ cd custom_recovery
$ unzip ../update.zip recovery.img
$ mv recovery.img recovery.img.orig
$ abootimg -x recovery.img.orig
$ mv initrd.img initrd.img.orig
$ mkdir initrd
$ cd initrd
$ zcat ../initrd.img.orig | cpio -vid

Adjust default.prop with values "ro.secure=0", "ro.debuggable=1" und "persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb".

$ find . | cpio --create --format='newc' | gzip > ../initrd_adb_enabled.img
$ cd ..
$ abootimg --create recovery_adb_enabled.img -f bootimg.cfg -k zImage -r initrd_adb_enabled.img

You get error : "updated is too big for the Boot Image" with new size value. Calculate this value to hexadecimal and adjust the "bootsize" in "bootimg.cfg" to hex-value

Do abootimg again.

2. Use the custom recovery to trigger update manually

$ fastboot boot ../custom_recovery/recovery_adb_enabled.img
$ adb shell
# mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /sdcard/
# exit

$ adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
$adb shell

# cd /sdcard
# busybox unzip update.zip META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary -d /tmp
# busybox chmod u+x /tmp/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary
# /tmp/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary 3 1 /sdcard/update.zip # Update installieren
# sync && sleep 5 && sync # sicherheitshalber, wenn man dran glaubt
# reboot

Dont get the wrong idea. I have nothing against S7Active. I just tell that in good ligght S6E+ wins.

There was a topic with XDA members (elite,expert and dev) agreed with me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] ThunderingLight:
You are absolutely 200% correct on that. I noticed the decrease in image quality (Not only sharpness and resolution but also color and overall image appeal) immediately after I got the S7 Active. I wish my S6 Active wasn't stolen. That camera was better than this.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] faronium:
Can a moderator delete this thread? I don't see how pining over a phone that's three generations old is useful and even relevant to the S7 active. What are we supposed to do, ditch our phones and go buy an older phone that is no longer supported and likely to have worn out batteries and the like? This has to be some kind of joke.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] androidbadboy:
With all respedt dude You dont understant THAT was a warning for people that want to change S6 ONLY for CAM quality and they wonder what to change for. Its for them not for You. You absoylty musnt dich your phone. Please understand.

I said about a lot of people haaving S6 and their 1 and ONLY reason (cause it's a great phone) was to upgraade image quiality with newer phone.

== At leasdt 60% of ppl choose their phone because of cam!

Not to menntion teenagers when they selfie 100 times per day or photograph/record something funny inther classoorm and put it on Youtube.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] faronium:
At the very least, make your title less alarming and less general. Give your thread a title that describes what you see the problem as so people like me who don't care about the topic aren't lead to read your thread because it wasn't clearly titled.

Second, by your logic, everyone with a gripe about how much better the S6 was than any other phone should post a new thread on this page and presumably a new thread on every other forum about phones that aren't the S6.

Finally, any social media photos/videos that teenagers are sharing don't need any kind of decent resolution or quality because they will be presented on a phone screen that's at most about 4 megapixels in resolution and generally the screens will be full HD at best. Even on a computer, 12MP is much more than enough.

Hello folks.

So I left my A1 charging at night, the alarm woke me up as usual in the morning. Just before leaving home I took it to check the time and then it was already "dead".

PS: The phone was never been knocked over, wet etc...

Symptoms:

- Black screen, as if was turned off / without battery;

- Buttons do not work;

- Doesn't react to any connections.

- Doesn't enters fastboot mod;

- It's not recognized by the computer;

- Also not charging.

Hello mate.

I'm sry for you phone, at my case i'm starting to believe that the mb/cpu died.

I was thinking that it could be the board at the bottom (ubs, mic jac) but i have been told that it's really rare this to happen.

Yesterday i tested the battery and it's fully charged, (so the battery isn't the problem)

I'm weeling to take it at the end of the week into a tec who can test all the hardware stuff in order to know what actually have failed.

Have u also tryed to engage ur phone at EDL Mode?
