[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mad1111:
So I was messing around with my phone after installing Action Launcher. I always like to go into the "Launcher Activities" and see what's in there to tweak. On this phone I found an activity called: Content Adaptive Backlight Settings

When you assign this to a gesture (Multi Finger Swipe Down, for example) it opens up a menu for this option. There is a check box to "Enable Content Adaptive Backlight". I guess by default, this box is checked which REadjusts your backlight for your screen based on the content being displayed on your phone. This is completely separate from the Auto Brightness feature (so unchecking/disabling this feature does NOT disable Auto Brightness...just FYI).

Now, there is options to adjust the "Visual Quality Level" of the Content Adaptive Brightness (ex: Low, Medium, High, Auto). It appears mine was set to "Auto" by default when it was enabled.

However, I completely disabled this option and tested the backlight settings/function. For me it seemed to auto-adjust the brightness much more efficiently and quicker. I was having issues with the auto-brightness not working at times, or showing it was at the minimum brightness but the damn screen was still blinding me. This seems to have fixed that issue so I thought I would share my findings.

Let me know how it works for you.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jabbermacy:
where is this 'launcher activities' found? I can't find in any settings in Action Launcher
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mad1111:
Open Action Launcher Settings

Go to Shortcuts (Gestures & Actions) option

I chose the "Swipe Down" > Multi-Finger Gesture

Tap on "Shortcut" at the top of the screen

Click on "Activities"

Scroll down till you see "Content Adaptive Brightness Settings"

Let me know if you run into any issues. I'm sure there's another way to access these options without having to go through the gesture settings but that's how I did it on my phone.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jabbermacy:
dude that's pretty sweet, I had no idea about this launcher, insta bought PRO, thanks!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 5408779:
I know this from Nexus 6p days. It's also working with Nova launcher.

Edit: you didn't even need the pro version.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] tWoBrO:
Did anyone notice any difference?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mad1111:
It's a great launcher definitely worth the PRO version!

This is true. Nova Launcher does have the "activities" option as well (just like Action Launcher). Seeing as Nova is my go-to launcher of choice, I've been aware of this option for quite some time as well. But since I was using Action Launcher at the time of discovery I figured I'd just post that info.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ca110475:
I'm unable to locate the correct activity to assign to the gesture in Nova Launcher. I've scrolled the 15 available Nova Activities but found nothing related with Adaptive Brightness.

Would you be so nice to point me to the correct activity to assign to the gesture?

Cheers!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] rmaathuis:
You can also add this activity to the quick tiles bar with the app Tiles, which is free today. So no need for a second launcher.

Thanks for this tip, I hope my auto brightness will work again like the 5t which had a much better auto brightness.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mad1111:
Good to know! Gonna go check out that app right now...Thanks!

Yup...that's it!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] craznazn:
Found the option and unchecked it, but how did you test it? I don't really notice much difference.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mad1111:
I've been using my phone for the past couple days with this option unchecked. It's most noticeable at night if you use your phone in a low light environment. Another way you can "sort of" test it is to shine a light on the light sensor. You'll notice it gets brighter quicker and dims right back to where it was when the light is removed. For me, with the option checked the auto-brightness was slow to react to changes in light and it wouldn't always go back to the dimmest setting, or where it was prior to getting brighter.

All-in-all, it seems to be faster now, now that the screen doesn't have to auto adjust the brightness based on ambient light levels as well as readjust the brightness based on what the screen is displaying.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sarus_b:
I guess the activity you are mentioned "Enable Content Adaptive Backlight" is some sort of API (sorry if thats wrong , I dont know anything about andriod programming) , and used in couple of apps where the brightness gets cranked to maximum for viewing. Many apps which generate QR codes use this like Xender, OnePlus contacts app , Shareit etc. Even QuickPic gallery has option of turning maximum when viewing pictures.

Interesting how it works with auto brightness function though.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric214:
It does say backlight as that is for LCD screens as they have a backlight but the OP6 is an Amoled screen which has no backlight but each pixel powers on and off so maybe that is why there really isn't much difference when using that option on an Amoled screen.

I'm just using High Brightness Mode from flar2 in the play store. It increases the max brightness by 42% over the max brightness that OnePlus as set for this phone. Though you will need to install his EX kernel I believe to take advantage of it.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 5408779:
After i disabled that option, my display goes crazy in sun! It's flickering all the time. Changed back to stock now.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mad1111:
Wow, really? I haven't had that issue. Are you using any brightness mods on your phone to increase the brightness level like [MENTION=4915202]Eric214[/MENTION] has?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Morgan87:
Thanks for the tip ! I'll test that right now.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DocRambone:
Good find, auto-brightness much more stable now :)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhericurls:
That's the opposite for me. Used to go crazy in the sun now it's off it seems better.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
No. i have stock 5.1.8 with franco kernel.

strange... :confused: maybe its because i have franco kernel?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] flar2:
High Brightness Mode works on stock kernel and all custom kernels, just requires root to get the extra brightness.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrPhilo:
Ive done this for a few days and I legit think battery life is better. Normally I get 1 hour SOT with 10% WiFi, but I've been getting 1 hour and 15 minutes for 10%. People should try it and see if they get the same outcome.

OK so I updated to P a week ago and I think this 'content adaptive brightness' activity is deleted, can anyone confirm??

Yes it is no longer needed. The adaptive brightness uses AI to learn your preferences I believe
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ezaldeen.sabek:
Hello guys,

I live in Germany and Today my wireless charger has arrived and I was trying to charge my s9+ with it.

after 10 minutes of charging, I heard a strange voice coming out of my phone so I listened to it and it was 2 girls talking in the Russian language.

I took the phone from the charger and after 5 seconds the sound disappeared and then I put it back and the sound appeared again so I took a Video for it.

It seems that the two girls are walking and her phone is in her pocket.

Did anybody see something like this? :confused:

I cannot insert the link here because I am new at XDA but the Video is in youtube just write :

My S9+ is listening to someone while Wireless charging.

My wife has the same device and I put her s9+ on my wireless Charger and no sound came from her device, just from my device.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mjones73:
I wireless charge mine nightly, never heard it pick up someone's conversation.. that's just bizarre.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] imsoconfused:
OH my, sounds like a radio or band issue, and serious enough to warrant an exchange. Thats a first for me. No device should ever port communication while charging for any reason. Hope it wasnt cross transmission interference via charge to network chatting. I suggest seeking a tech wherever you are and seek where the point of sale is. Its possible for communication to be transmitted via electrical plugs.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] kallell:
Has anyone figured out a solution to this issue? I can't get my computer to recognize my device any longer.

I've tried:

Uninstalling the driver

Manually doing a generic USB hub driver

Trying to forcefully install the google driver (gives the warning it's not compatible)

Different USB cables

Different USB slots

Unrooting

OEM re-lock

Enabling/disabling developer options

No idea what else the issue could be.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] DuckRuckus:

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] jeanvalery:
Hi everyone !

I wanted to install the new MIUI 9 rom (9.5.8.0 OCAMIFA) through the recovery, but couldn't find any file in the TWRP recovery. I had an error when mounting the data partition.

I saw the solution was to reformat the data partition, so I wiped and reformated the partition. After that, I coudn't flash the 9.5.8.0 rom. I had an arror telling me that my device was not compatible. Actually the updater script within the ROM zip file looks for a variable called product and it must be set to 'sagit', the name of the MI6. But on mine it is not set, I don't know why. So I modified the updater script and succeded in flashing the ROM, but the phone got stuck at startup, with the Mi logo.

I saw that to get rid of that I had to flash the rom through fastboot. So I downloaded the Mi flash tool and the fastboot version of a rom (9.5.6.0). Once again, I had to modify the bat scripts, since they were looking for this 'product' variable that is not set on my phone. The flash started well but eventually after 30 seconds I had an error (write error) whatever the bat file I used.

But I didn't give up. I still had an old TWRP backup on my hard drive. So I rebooted in recovery mode, and transfered the backup files. But during the transfer, it stops copying ; the progress bar get stuck. I tried to copy file by file, but only the small files are copied. The big ones never make it to the end.

I think I'm cursed. Now I don't know what to do. I think I've tried almost anything I could.

Does anyone have an idea ?

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] -Zteam-:
Try to transfer your backup file with adb push maybe, and see if that manages to copy your file over (You need to have adb installed on your computer of course)

I dont have my Xiaomi Mi 6 rooted, so I can't test it on my Mi 6, but I tested this on my rooted Z3 Compact, and it seems to work great there

Reboot into recovery launch a command prompt on your computer and type:

adb devices to see if you can see your device

if that works you can try to adb push to transfer your TWRP-backup

like this:

adb push /home/zteam/adb-backup/backup.zip /

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Myrmeko:
I consider buying this, but the mono speaker is a huge dealbrealer for me, even with that resonance chamber.

Now my question is... Is it possible to activate the earpiece speaker for media playback? Like on the Nexus 5X, Galaxy S6, etc.

Like, the loudness of the resonance chamber will compensate for the quietness of the earpiece, but will still have stereo sound. Or at least dual mono.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
Sorry but this is right now impossible. And it's still not know if the earpieces can handle this. Maybe in the future. But still the speaker is amazing if you can overlook the stereo feature missing.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Myrmeko:
Yeah, i've just tried it.

I clearly cant overlook the stereo speakers.

The one i tried was a demo unit and it had an extra feature, the abilitty to turn the boombox off.

Which makes me believe it's just a dynamic vibration system like on the XZ2. More than that, the bass vibrations felt artificial, just as on the XZ2. Like, the "bass" came from the exact same area as the keyboard's haptic feedback.

Kinda cool, but artificial nonetheless.

Not something i would buy, especially because the retail version doesnt have the toggle to disable the "boombox".
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
IDK but I haven't seen an option for that on my phone. Do you remember where was that option?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] WaxysDargle:
this is not the phone for you.

the bass is not haptic. the results i get under certain circumstances are incredible.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] truckerdewd:
I agree. The vibration is from the sound resonating through the chamber. The DTS 3D surround when connected via Bluetooth to my Ford Fusion sounds awesome. I thought the S9 sounded great in my car but this blows it away. And when you connect it via wired connection, you get both the DTS 3D Surround and the Quad DAC. Excellent sound.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] WaxysDargle:
agreed. this has been by far the best audio experience i've had with any device, ever.

if you get a chance, find an empty plastic 5 gal bucket, turn it upside down and put your phone on top of it with music playing. make sure there is a little gap at the bottom for the sound to resonate outward. it literally sounds like a boombox. bass thumping. i couldn't believe it.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Myrmeko:
It was in the music app and i havent checked the settings app.

But it said that it was only available on the demo device and not on the retail one. (A notification bubble popped up saying that)

I cant promise but i will try to get the non-retail apps next time i go to the store.

Or i think there could be a flag in a customization file, like how HTC does. On my phone is located at /system/customize/aac/default.xml. Try looking for similar stuff.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Myrmeko:
Then again how come i can deactivate the "boombox" on the non-retail version. Is not like it fills up the resonance chamber with something.

When you turn it off it acts just like any other phone. The bass still vibrates the phone as it should, like on any other non-artificially enhanced phone's speaker(s).

If you have the possibility, hold both the G7 and the XZ2 on both hands (XZ2's vibration set to the minimum value).

Just see what im talking about.

I dont want to sound like a hater or anything, it sounds good, i cant deny that, but im very skeptical of it's resonance chamber and what actually goes under the hood.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] truckerdewd:
It's the boombox show setting in the built in music app and it does have a Vibrate function but that has nothing to do with the sound, it's when you shake it to change the cor on the screen.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] truckerdewd:
Again what you saw has nothing to do with the boombox and sound. It was for the boombox show feature in the builtin music app. Refer to my last comment for info and pictures.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Myrmeko:
Imma take a photo of what im talking about when i have time.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Myrmeko:
Here. The music app from the non-retail version, together with some music related files and some photos.

Also the app wasnt odexed. This is the whole thing.

And i forgot about the build.prop. Imma get it next time i got to that store.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Gumokz109:
I believe that Boombox mode is just for the Demo unit - whereby the mode shows you the difference between Boombox being turned on or off. I think it's just merely for demonstration only. (Because on my G7, that toggle on the left is called Boombox Show)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Myrmeko:
What does that do? The BoomBox Show.

Also, does the apk i put in that zip fail to install on your G7?

Or if it installs, does it crash?

I tried it on a Huawei P10 Plus, it installed, but it crashed when i tried to open it.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] truckerdewd:
BoomBox Show is just an onscreen show in the shape of a vortex or an atom that moves to the music and the color can be changed by shaking the phone and makes the camera flash light up in time to the music. It does not turn the BoomBox feature on or off and has no effect on the sound. BoomBox Show only works with the built-in LG Music app and that is the only place you can find the settings for it or turn it on.

Please see my post which is post #10 of this thread for pics and info.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Myrmeko:
Oh, ok, thx. Is a visualizer basically.

Edit: Also i couldn't get the build.prop from that non-retail G7.

Apparently you can't even view that file in Android 8.x without root.
