[Chromebooks] Brounzer:
Hi all,

I'm sorry, I tried to provide direct links/images but unfortunately only after 10 posts I'm allowed to post URLs

The most recent, much welcomed, update to ChromeOS has introduced ADB over USB for a select few models ( find the chromium org url "

chrome-os-systems-supporting-adb-debugging-over-usb

" ).

However, I have yet failed to get this to work by connecting my brand new Pixelbook (as of yesterday) to a Windows 10 machine, and using the guide provided on

developer (dot) android topic/arc/#adb-usb

Did anyone get this work successfully?

If so, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Using hardware:

- Pixelbook with Stable Build 67, and also attempted Dev Channel with build 69.

- Connected USB0 (left side) to my Windows 10 laptop USB-A port, but also attempted connecting it to my laptop's USB-C port (so a USB-C to USB-C cable).

My steps:

- Powerwashed the Pixelbook

- Set Pixelbook to 'Developer Mode', see image:

h ttps://ibb.co/cRmiEo

- Enable Android Developer Options by going to Settings in ChromeOS, Manage Android --> 7 taps on Build Number and then opening the 'Android Developer Options' and enable ADB Debugging:

h tt ps://ibb.co/mLikS8

- Run the setup commands in crosh/shell as described in the guide (link above), such as dev_enable_udc , and dr_swap commands. As stated by the guide on developer.android: "Use this command each time you disconnect and reconnect a USB cable. To ensure your Chromebook is in UFP mode, you can run ectool usbpd <port number>" . See attached:

h tt ps://ibb.co/j8m5S8

- Attached the USB-C cable to the W10 laptop and run ADB devices.

- No devices show up in cmd (adb devices)

- Android Studio also does not list any devices to run on

- This is what I'm seeing in Device Manager, a 'malfunctioning adb device'

h tt ps://ibb.co/cpXen8

Any help would be greatly appreciated if anyone has already managed to the ADB USB to work!

No solution (yet)

Let me know whenever someone has given this a shot with their Chromebook.

I still haven't managed to solve it, also posted it to the Google Product forums now

I have suceeded in doing this in my Samsung Chromebook Pro. There are a few problems off the bat.

1) Chrome OS ships with a very outdated version of ADB

2) There is no rule by default for accepting usb connections from vendors. You have to add it to your rules.d folder.

If you know what you're doing you can install the dependencies directly to your system and update the shipped adb using debian resources. You could also use crouton. I made a tutorial a while back. Things have changed a tab, but not much. tutorial link

Also I will attatch the script I made to automate the process on my CBP. With a little tweaking you could make it work for yourself. I know this probably isn't what you are looking for. But installing the debian resources will almost certainly get it running in the native crosh shell.

Help error samsung (only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed)

help me, I wanted to root on my j5 prime SM-G570M phone and first was giving trouble to install twrp (remembering that the device is under warranty) until I finally succeeded. I put the zip file to do the ROOT and it worked. When I rebooted the device appeared a message saying that the android system could have been violated, had to restart. When I rebooted the device gave this error (only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed). He calls and does not leave this text in red.

Please help me, I'm desperate. I searched a lot and did not find the answer. I only read answers that maybe I have to wait 7 days. But I'm not sure

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc.knuckle:
Hi guys

I've picked up a used Nexus 10 from a relative and factory reset it. I'm happy to start fresh as i realise unlocking the bootloader for rooting will do so.

I'm not in need of the latest version of Android but wondered if i installed maybe a nougat rom it would perform better than stock with things like Kodi running. Is there an overclocking rom or kernel?

I haven't played with custom roms or overclocking for a few years but remember a Nexus is a little easier than some other devices.

Any help or advice would be welcome, cheers
[General Questions and Answers] Rich_Palermo:
Hello All,

My Galaxy Note 2 (Android 4.4., Sprint network) has long had the choppy Bluetooth audio problem that is all over the user forums. It is over 5 years old and since I dropped it and cracked the screen, I am looking for a replacement. I bought a Galaxy Note 4 from eBay thinking the audio problem must have been fixed in subsequent generations. This had Android v6.

Unfortunately, it hasn't. If anything, the Note 4 is even worse than the Note 2. They both show the problem with two different headphones and a car audio system so it has to be the phones. I had an EVO4G before and though it was a battery hog, I never had a lick of trouble with the wireless audio.

I have done all the re-pairing, BT cache clearing, device cache clearing, and power management disabling that have been suggested over the web to no avail. Right pocket, left pocket, shirt pocket, strapped to a baseball cap - nothing helps.

Does anyone have suggestions for a decent aftermarket/eBay US$150-200 Android phone that has rock solid Bluetooth connectivity? I don't use it for much other than listening to audio while I take my daily walk and email/texting. I am not confident about rooting.

Thanks,

RP
[General Questions and Answers] Rich_Palermo:
Thank you. I should have paid more attention to the Sticky posts...

I have posted to one of the other threads.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infy_AsiX:
I got a new warranty replacement and just noticed it has "black clipping/crush". Not sure if it's something I never checked to notice before but this replacement display is a little strange too.

Anyway if some people could please check the attached image to see if their display can show the lowest level of black 1. I took the image from an old Note thread. I can only see as low as 6 in Chrome and 3 in Quickpic. Brightness needs to be around at least 50% to allow the lower range to be visible.

If this is a normal issue then it's likely a fault fixable in kernel. I know my last AMOLED a GS3 had this fixed by custom kernel, seems it was a mdnie driver fault https://github.com/AndreiLux/Perseus-S3/commit/9a8a38667bb081fa83c583ef12ad81d7df359066 Don't know if that can apply to us but if it's confirmed a fault I'll look for more recent information. Thanks

With my phone I can see only until level 5 with maximum light but I can guess the number 4 and the lines until the lowest level.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infy_AsiX:
The numbers should be visible down to 1 when working properly. I've seen it fixed before on the old GS3. Each step down is a gradual step down shade darker. With black clipping there's a sudden drop to black after a particular number.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JLLE:
My screen works fine. Perhaps it comes from the picture.

You should try Display tester to check your screen.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infy_AsiX:
Display Tester app is where I first noticed it with the similar test under Black saturation. If it's just my device it could be a hardware fault or ROM/Kernel setup. I'm on RR-O with Hellsgate Kernel 3. This current display does have a bad off tint spreading from the bottom right corner. Need more samples to narrow the issue down.

I talked to a dev about this and he had no idea what i was talking about ? let's hope someone sees this and cares about it

I'm seeing 3 with the latest AEX and full brightness on XDA Labs
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infy_AsiX:
Still need samples to narrow the issue. Just searched and found this "Pixel 2 XL vs Samsung S7 edge Black Crush Test at max brightness". So 3 isn't so bad compared to the latest greatest Pixel at 9, but that's LG's first generation P-OLED for you. More relevant is the S7E has our same display down to 1 so the display's evidently capable, just incorrectly set somewhere. Interestingly it's also easy to find complaints of GS8 and GS9 series black crush/gradient banding issues
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infy_AsiX:
Looked up if there's a fix out for the newer Galaxies and it seems not from recent GS9+ discussion. Custom developer work on Samsung display mdnie hasn't progressed in a few generations https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76532055&postcount=721. I guess it is what it is, at least it's not as bad as some of those recent flagships, those complaints on the GS9+ thread about gradient banding sound terrible and apparently some update improved that but worsened black crush at the same time.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] haoyangw:
Haha similar, using XDA Free on 50% brightness I can see until 3

EDIT: ok tried with max brightness(auto brightness off) and can confirm still 3 so I guess that's as good as we get xP
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infy_AsiX:
How about official N and O stock? Could it be an AOSP fault?

No, it's normal on every friggin build i tried. I guess it should be possible to fix this with files from the S7E/Pixel XL?

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infy_AsiX:
Been watching more videos on my A7 now and decided to revisit this old dead topic. I found similar to other devices discussion on the issue you can workaround a fix using an overlay app called Screen Balance. Using this my cinematic viewing experience is heavily improved in very dark scenes. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.uk.quickdoc.screenbalance

As our panel works apparently in the S7E/PXL and for us is only slightly lacking we only need to apply a little fix. Raising "strength" gamma in the app just enough that 1 on the chart shows works well. The free version with fluorescent (neutral no change) balance and 10% strength works on two tested A7's. If going paid pro you can have run on boot and tint/rgb mode that require 3/1% strength respectively instead. The other modes aren't visibly different and aren't necessary to this workaround fix. Hope you enjoy this fix three years after the phone's release :cool:

extra note: I watch content at 80% brightness when focusing on fidelity and that's what I tested by
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infy_AsiX:
note the overlay leaves scrolling laggy unless you enable Disable HW overlays in Developer Settings.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dodgexander:
Making the changes you describe crushes whites unfortunately, so whilst shadow detail is preserved, whites are not. May just be by aging display of course.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infy_AsiX:
The saturation test image in "Display Tester" app shows gradient up to 255 without issue for me
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dodgexander:
For me it is. Plus you realise making changes to blacks beneath 16 won't have an impact on video right? If you are seeing a difference after your changes to gamma the difference you are seeing if the way blacks are handled above 16 and all you are doing is raising black levels close to black.

Unless you happen to be watching video that is mastered at full range, which is very rare.

For correct video calibration only steps 16-235 should be visible. Calibration should be performed using test patterns in video app and not by an image. Otherwise you calibrate for full range content skewing 99% of video.

The fact that you can't see below 16 with video is at least normal. With everything else, not so. So the issue here is the device crushing blacks with full range content. Which it shouldn't do, but is likely ZTE adjusting the display themselves in accordance to video content rather than everything else. If they didn't do this the pixels wouldn't turn off at black level 16 and therefore blacks wouldn't be black.

To correctly calibrate you can use this video:

[youtube]FbUi3JgN0So[/youtube]

And make sure you see every step between 16 and 235. If you see detail out of that area then your display isn't correctly calibrated for video. Out of the box, with no changes my device is calibrated correctly.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infy_AsiX:
I knew I see a difference as I'm often streaming extra high quality rips and content to my A7. I checked the top greyscale videos searching YouTube and they show 16 and below as black sure. But not convinced I did some short research and reading. A useful reference to check is this page https://kodi.wiki/view/Video_levels_and_color_space It recommends to test, it links to download the AVS709 test. Watch the Black Clipping test in basics folder, I used my preferred MX Player and VLC. Now without Screen Balance app fix the values 17 and 18 are clipped to black. With the workaround fix they're fine.

If you want to check if it's Youtube's fault itself. Search AVS709 Black Clipping. You'll see some strange artifacting occurring on all of them likely caused by lossy compression but the general 17 18 are clipped without the workaround fix.

As to why the other top Youtube greyscale videos are incorrect and misleading? I don't really know but I'd guess they get upvoted endlessly with praise for showing people a fake working effect. When YouTube is built on a model of views and monetisation not quality it wouldn't surprise me. Mainly I would never trust some random upload on social media

Hi All,

I recently reported a bug to OnePlus on the official forum regarding deletion in the official Gallery App. I then got a private conversation from the team (see attachment) asking if I could re-create the issue and capture logs. Just a slight concern is the request for "dump media databases" from the logkit (*#800# from dialer).

Should I have privacy concerns?

If so, will deleting all media prior to capturing logs prevent any personal media from being shared?
