[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonSwansonSr:
Good afternoon all,

For starters, please excuse any improper protocol with this post. Ironically, I am a programmer myself (C++, C#, JS, ASP.NET) but I am unaccustomed to posting on forums. Aside from one on StackOverflow and one on the MS Community help forums I am new to this. However, I am coming out of my cave as it occurs to me that learning, and possibly assisting, with Android development on such a level as this is of great interest to me; so I might as well start learning!

I decided to jump in with an old S4 (SCH-I545) to see if I could get that rooted. I was successful with the very useful tools on this site but now I am attempting to install Magisk (seems "system-less" is the new thing). I have come to conclude that I must install a new recovery on my device for this and it sounds like TWRP is the recommended choice for installing Magisk. Unfortunately, when attempting to flash the tar in the most recent version of Odin, I only get an error of "SECURE CHECK" failure.

My research on the threads seem to indicate that you cannot change the recovery software on that particular model (due to not being able to change the bootloader I think?). Anyway, I thought it was time to stop and confirm with the experts if something like Magisk can even be installed on the SCH-I545. Thank you for any advice you can offer.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philippeiiauguste:
I'm using the app "Runkeeper" on my HTC One M9 running Anroid 7.0.

I have an activity stored in the app but not uploaded to runkeeper.com. When I open the activity, I can see the details including the map but am notified that "We were unable to load this trip correctly. Please try again soon!" My internet connection is strong. If I click on the map associated with this activity, I have the option to "FIX GPS." If I try to resend the activity, the process hangs forever (>5 minutes).

1. If I use the "FIX GPS" option, is it likely that I will be able to send this activity to runkeeper.com?

2. If "yes" to 1, is there a way to send this activity to the website without using the "FIX GPS" option?

3. If "no" to 1, do you have any other ideas of how I could send this activity to the website?

4. Is there a way to export an activity to other formats using only the app and not the website?

Thanks!

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmcorreia:
Hi

I bought a S3 Sm-T713 to use with a apk from DJI (DGI Go4) but I'm having troubles because of the usb.

In others models I just connect my Controller via USB and the apk pop-ups and I just need to enter.

With this S2, the USB is always changing from "charging to MTP" and it doesn't let me open the apk.

I've tried to enter in developer mode and change "USB configurations" to RDIS or MTP or Midi but didn't worked.

The only way I have to use make it work is doing like this :

1-Switch on the drone

2-Switch on the controller

3-Connect controller to Tablet via usb

4-With the tablet off, switch it on

And the application will work as in other fhone or tablet that I've used before.

My tab is running on Android 7.

If someone has experienced and has a workaround for this situation, please let me know.

Best regards

Does anyone have a way to root this device? Or if not rooting Android, is it possible to load an entirely new ROM that does not need to be rooted to work.

If that has not been done yet, who would be willing to contribute to a crowd-funder to make it worth someones while to get a root for this device? Other than not being able to root, like this device, but without rooting, 1/2 the apps O I use do not work, and the amount of bloatware slows the device down something awful. Be nice to fix this
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pitrofilta:
I'm completely new to the Android OS and have a question.

I purchased a used Galaxy S8 SM-950U (Unlocked with AT&T branding on load) with Android Version 7.0.

How would I go about updating it to Android Version 8.0 in terms of getting the correct files? I probably can't use, for example, the Verizon Oreo version for this phone which looks to be AT&T branded, so would I go on AT&T's website to get the correct files or how does that usually work?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
If its unlocked you can use any US firmware you want yes it will just have that carriers apps I dont know the exacts but its not to bad

keep in mind if you are looking to root you have to stay on 7.0 revision 2 bootloader or less any thing 3 or higher which is 8.0 we cannot root
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pitrofilta:
Thank you for your answer. So it sounds like I could even go with a non carrier branded version straight from Samsung without bloatware (if there is such a thing?)

Good point on the root. As far as I have read the bootloader is different from the OS, so would it be possible to root it with a 7.0 bootloader and install a newer OS (8.0 or 9.0). Or do these always go hand in hand?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
hand in hand kinda

7.0 bootloaders dont work for 8.0

you can i think use comsy odin and install the 950u1 bootloader 2 firmware which is unbranded to maintain it

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muttleytm:
I have a new phone with Android 8.0 on it. Whenever I pass through or by somewhere there is an Xfinity hotspot a popup appears and sort of halts everything else asking if I want to connect. It is always annoying, but, I can necessarily get to it and deal with it if I am driving or doing other things.

I've heard that it is that somehow, somewhere, sometime you have signed into a Xfinity hotspot. It creates an account on the network apparently and not just at the location you are at. I guess if you have an Xfinity account for cable and all the rest you get one as well. I may have done the former, but, I don't think I have the latter, although I do have a Comcast account just for cable TV. Maybe they created an Xfinity account for me and my phones somehow. If I go their site I can't find any password I'm likely to have used that lets me sign in though. Anyway, I hear if you can log in it lists any devices or yours and you can delete them.

How can this thing be blocked or blacklisted. I don't have a rooted phone yet. If I can do it with just the phone that would be great,but, I'll use an app if there is one.

Here's how to turn off the Notifications...

Go into your System Settings Menu and select WiFi...

On the top right side of the screen, select the 3 dotted menu and select the "Advanced" option.

At the top of the menu is the "Network notification". Just turn it off (the toggle will slide to the left).

Now exit them all and now you won't receive any WiFi Notifications. It doesn't turn off the WiFi, it just stops the Notifications for it.

I hope that I had explained this okay via text... :)

It looks like it has been an issue for a lot of people for a while now. Maybe Xfinity keeps adapting to any fixes along the way.

It sure is annoying. I saw one person said they were using navigation and it popped up over their map, couldn't respond to it because they were driving, etc. Someone could get injured.

[Android Head-Units] Lupus1952:
Hello,

my name is Wolfgang (from "Bavaria").

I have this nice 2DIN-Head-Unit. The name is AC8227 (read in Settings)

I have no manual and no information about manufacturer.

There is a onboard-app "Lenkrad-Einst" (=steeringwheel-remotecontroll-setup) to set the functions of the steeringwheel-remote. It works fine!

See image 2 (sorry - i am not allowed to post links because I am new here)

Now I have after pressing the remotebutton "Mode" a selection off apps that I can start.

See image 1

I would like to define my own (additional) apps I want to use. Not only the predefined apps.

Where can I change these settings? There is nothing in the App "Lenkrad-Einst" to setup. Only the learninfunction which key of the remote does something like VOL+/VOL-/>>/<</Mode and so on.

Please use this way to see my JPGs.

Another Question: How can I make a printscreen? The unit has no mechanical power-key and no volume-keys like most smartphones. In the settings there is NO possibility to define a way to do a printscreen.

Clearly an incompatibility between your home wifi and your phone, but I'm not smart enough to say what it is. You'll need to play around with wifi settings on your access point, and see if anything helps.

Some thoughts:

Your phone seems to be trying to connect to two nets, "living room TV" and "catch me outside". Try switching one of them off.

You log mentions Australia and America. It's important that your phone and your wifi is set to the same country, because different frequencies are allowed in different countries.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] iFreeMan:
Hi guys.

I have global device version, without root, everything is default.

Sometimes (independently how exactly I use the device) it could be locked on maximum CPU frequency. I noticed this issue just, randomly. I've installed CPUZ to see more details about phone and then noticed that all frequencies in maximum (1612 first 4 cores and 1804 all another 4 cores).

Then I've installed AccuBattery to see the energy consumption and noticed that when this bug occurs, the device consumes about 210-240 mAh (with disabled all wireless interfaces surely), but after restart, when everything OK with frequencies stepping, it consumes about 110-140 mAh.

I've been facing this issue on 9.5.19.0 and the same on 8.8.16.

Have someone similar issues? Could you please install CPU-Z (or any anorher similar application) and say if everyone has locked frequencies?

Yes, I know, I've checked all background processes, I've enabled debug mode, connected via cable to laptop and.. adb shell -> top, I was seeing on real CPU activity. It could occurs randomly and then only reboot device could fix it until it happen again.

The same bug I found on the same phone in my friend. Strange, actually.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Zanr Zij:
I knew this problem about 2-3 weeks ago. When you charging, it go up top freqs too

That's why I want to use custom kernel. But sometimes ( much less than stock ) locked at top freqs so I think it is Miui system policy also.

You should try some kernel manager to solve temporary.

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

Problem will back soon on stock kernel
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] iFreeMan:
Actually bad solution, you know :D

Aha, yes, you're right. Now I sorted our everything in my mind and seems it occurs after charging.

Do you think the same issue has all people with this smartphone? But just a lot of them doesn't look on that?

But I'd say it's critical bug to have locked frequencies. Why do you think it's like "miui system policy"?

I had many xiaomi devices, only here I faced with this issue. I thought may be my phone has manufacturing defects.. but seems the bug is general on our device.

What the miui version you have?

Ah, I didn't want to root my device.. I wanted to leave it as is, as stock and don't think about all this headache, but seems the time to unlock bootloader.. Because I haven't root, so, I'm not able to use any kernel managers to reset the frequencies/governors :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Zanr Zij:
- I'm on Masik 2.5 with BlackBox kernel. If Kirks solve Dual app problem I will switch

- Miui system policy: I can not freeze/delete many system apps/modules after rooted. I also can not disable many Miui services/procsess ( by MyAndroidTools ). Miui also has performance mode for some purposes, can be auto activate in some cases :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Desmanto:
Does it drain battery faster? It can be caused by one of your user app. Try to remember when this started to happen, and traceback to the time you install/update apps during that period. Use MiXplorer and check the last installed app. There are apps that can triggered to mine cryptocurrency during charging, making your phone super hot and charge very slow. I am not saying it must be a malware, but it can be some apps that act similarly.

Try to boot to safe mode for several hours to check if it really caused by user app. Turn off your phone > Hold power to turn on > As soon as mi logo appear, quickly hold volume down until the phone finish booting (can be up to 30 seconds). You should see "safe mode" watermark at the bottom left corner, indicating all user app has been temporary disabled. Leave it for several hours to see if the battery still drain or the phone stay awake all the time (high cpu usage). To exit from safe mode, simply reboot.

I always found it is kind of a habit to blame MIUI for everything. I am not defending MIUI here, they bloat a lot. I also hate it and I am using RR now. But on several occassions when we troubleshoot, we found out it is one of the user app that cause the trouble, ads, or slow charging; not anything related to MIUI. Blaming MIUI won't solve the problem, only troubleshooting will lead us to the real culprit. In your case, it still can be caused by the MIUI itself. But until you troubleshoot it out, you won't know who is the real culprit.

For comparison, when still using MIUI 9.5.17.0 I can easily achieve 10+ hours SOT within 1,5 days (max is 14 hours). When switched to RR, affected by the wifi deep sleep drain, I rarely get 10 hours SOT anymore. Still in the process of troubleshooting the problem.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] iFreeMan:
I don't mind to have additional applications.. But I don't like when my CPU works incorrect O_O

I've checked everything. It occurs after charging in most cases. I think that is the bug in governor. Yes, it drain battery a bit faster, but just a bit, I just calculated emergy consumption.

So, when my frequencies was locked, I just connected my phone via ADB to laptop and was looking at the "top" utility to see the load of CPU. And guess what? No load! Idle 796%. (all another 4% for top with refreshing each second and for CPU-Z ran on device).

Weird bug, actually...

I think I have unlock device and re-flash firmware via fastboot to over-write everything.. who knows where bug is hidden.

I've already done full reinstall system. wipe.. but it could occurs even during I read the book. Or just.. enable device, go to CPUZ, and frecuencies locked at max. Absolutely random event
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Desmanto:
Try not to install anything first after the wipe. Or just try the safe mode. As I said before, it might be caused by the same user app you installed after you wipe.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] iFreeMan:
That's could be.

I've unlocked bootloader and just flashed the last 8.8.16 with fastboot (just had thought about it could fix something, may be some thin deep bug).

But no, after I've installed the firmware with fastboot, I've started to install all my software from Google play. And guess what? I just see in cpuz and see the same - frequencies are locked on maximum values.

Strange .. I don't use something custom, or from unverified sources, just everything from google play.

Even without games (just PUBG). All another software just social. FB, messenger, Instagram, telegram, WhatsApp, Viber, and so on. And I even cannot to see what application could cause that. Don't want to root the device. After I've installed everything and rebooted device (to reset that bug with frequencies), now everything normal. Continue observation...

Just wanted to find someone who has the same issue and at least compare revisions, installed apps and so on...to try to find the trigger which causes this issue.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Desmanto:
That's why I prefer the troubleshooting starting from small first, before going thru the whole ROM flashing. 80% of the time, it is caused by user app. A simple safe mode or factory reset will pointed out a very obvious clue immediately.

Not all playstore app are bug-free, we just don't know what happened in the next update of the app.

While you don't state it before, it can be mediaserver bug. It is caused by the mediascan which stucked at certain file/folder during the scan and keep eating CPU cycle forever. But I've never seen it goes thru almost full CPU load. The solution is to rearrange the files/folder in your internal storage or microsd (if you have it), clean up as needed. Sometimes, a simple restart resolve the issue, but not always.

I have Whatsapp. Some users in the kaskus has FB, IG, Telegram installed; I don't see much complaint from them regarding the CPU usage, except that the IG story are cropped/zoomed (16:9 to 18:9 ratio problem). You can only troubleshoot it step by step, by installing one app at a time. It is very lengthy process and tedious. But usually you can spot which app can be the potential culprit by looking at the battery usage of them. Example, you don't use viber at all, by it appears as one of the highest battery usage.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] iFreeMan:
Yes, I understand that and understand why it would occurs and tried to investigate in this way, but...

I have equals application list which I had on previous device except...CPU-Z and AccuBattery (the AccuBattery for now is removed) because of I faced with this frequencies issues.

This morning it happened again. But I just.. woke up, saw on frequencies - everything OK. Then I just.. Instagram, Telegram, Facebook Messenger and Google Chrome and no more. Then I realized that the phone became a bit warm.. I saw on frequencies - it was locked again :confused:

As it happened, I've came to office, connected via ADB to laptop and made several screenshots from `top` utility and looked a bit into `adb logcat`. But nothing... IDLE ~798%. And then I've tried to go to all apps and do force stop for ALL apps. But nothing.

I just rebooted device again...

Please look on it.. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yXjQQ4rsF3MURh1PF0DZ1Z_Gtgc4-m4_
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] iFreeMan:
Just concerning about.. there are a lot errors in logcat. But I understand that.. that's ok.

But 90% of logs flowing from system processes, not from apps. But there is nothing critical.. Nothing something what could flow unstoppable text and caused over-loading CPU.

I'm afraid that it could be manufacturing defects :eek:

I event tried to re-flash firmware with fastboot (I thought that byte-by-byte flasing into ROM memory could fix some random small issues). But after flashing with fastboot this CPU locking happening again.

Actually.. dunno what to do with that. The last thought to try any custom ROM (may be Lineage OS) with custom kernel and make sure that it is just bug in Xiaomi's ROM..
