[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] SovRoxx:
`I finally used dex for the first time today.... after many days. The experience was better than I thought.. but at the same time i didnt buy this tab for dex experience. BUT now that I tried it, I love how 3 windows openned looks for multitasking. I used the keyboard case, when I was done I couldn't find too easy how to turn off Dex lol so I disconnected the keyboard to find Dex still goes on without the keyboard.

What I found new for me is that most apps are not ready for Dex.. which means 2 things:

You won't be able to resize those apps on the screen in any way shape or form... only a rotation which is kinda weird. and.. you won't be able to full screen those apps either. but since the display is so awesome, those small windows of a couple apps side to side look great.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Chyeo1979:
How about the DeX lab setting? Supposedly that can force more apps to be resizable?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] SovRoxx:
Holly crap! I didn't know abouut that setting yet. Thanks man. I tested it and the LABS setting works great. Note that its kind of confusing at first when you apply the setting because when you go to resize the app it says RESTART THE APP... so I did, for example facebook, but then it doesn't work!! So then I figured out you have to restart all of DEX first before LAB setting goes into effect. Now the apps I needed to resize ... does so great. I can't believe I can have 4 columes or more to multitask now! I stand corrected on that one! cheers
[Google Chromecast] macia10:
Hi,

I've received a chromecast with "broken" wi-fi. It cannot connect to anything. Just sits on setup page and there is no broadcast wifi. Can I do anything with it? I've read that there is custom rom but I cannot check serial to root it. Any suggestions? Can I make it work with external usb wifi dongle on maybe lan? I have OTG powered cable.
[Google Chromecast] driverdis:
I would get the Chromecast LAN adapter from Google as that will bypass any need for the broken wireless features.

Google Maps "Can't Connect" to any searched location using my Google Account

This is a little strange error I've started facing since last 2-3 days. I'm not able to search for any location on Google Maps using my Google Account on my Google Pixel (Android Pie). Whenever I try to search any location under the explore tab I get a toast "Can't Connect". However, if I try to switch to a different Google Account on Google Maps, then the search work absolutely fine. Also, when I try to search on desktop version of Google Maps using the same old Google Account it works absolutely fine. I've tried uninstalling all updates to Google Maps, clearing data, clearing cache but no luck. A few other people have also reported similar issue on the Play Store page of Google Maps. Please help me on this.

Hello guys, I would like to know if anyone could help me.

I have a tablet that I received at school once. But Android of it bricked, and I do not find the original ROM of it, but wanted to arrange a way to make it work again, even with a custom ROM.

Hey guys

I bought this phone today and as i had A1 before im gonna write some review

-First of all phone is much more speedy than A1 , no lag on chrome with +30 tabs open and some lags like intro screen of ES File manager

-Display is much more colorful and there is no touch lines like A1 and touch is very smooth for some games like soccer stars that need accurate touch

-Battery life surely is lower than A1 cause of more powerful CPU and bigger and brighter LCD

-Speaker is on par with A1

-Headphone volume is much lower than A1 and doesnt have 10V Dirac and you cant say wow when you listen to musics like A1

-Main camera is very well improved in low light but portrait is not as natural as A1 in good light condition but in low light you can take better portraits also zoom is gone for secondary camera

-Quick charge ia very welcomed and one of the reasones that i switched to A2

-Proximity sensor is left to the front camera and not working when you normaly talk with phone and you need to hold your phone a bit back of your ear

-front facing camera is very very improved but even after turn off beauty mode is still soften your skin

-SD card is badly missing
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] jshashwat93:
I was just wondering what display settings does everyone use and how to get the best performance out of the display. If anyone can tell me all the things to turn on and off for getting there, it would be great.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] centrezuk:
I use the best settings possible, what's the point In having a good phone with the best display if you ain't gonna use it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] SquireSCA:
Exactly. When you say best performance, what are you looking for? Higher synthetic benchmark scores to brag to your friends who also don't understand benchmarks, or the best looking display to actually USE the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] electricpete1:
Do what makes sense for you. I keep mine on HD+ (720 pixels in the short direction) because my eyesight isn't great and I can't tell the difference. Samsung pushes the higher resolution because it looks good on paper (specsmanship), however I am doubtful that most people (even with good eyesight) can tell the difference between FHD (1080) and WQHD (1440) pm this size phone.

Other people don't matter, check for yourself. I would look at straight diagonal lines and text. If it looks jagged, then go to higher resolution. If not then try lower resolution.

There is a small battery gain from using lower resolution. You can see what Samsung thinks the battery gain is by going to the battery power saving screen and note the savings projected in the "apply" button at the bottom. Change the screen resolution and the projected savings in the apply button will change immediately. The change in projected savings between two modes presumably represents the difference in power consumption that Samsung estimates. For me it is rough ballpark 10 minute life saving from 1440 to 1080 and another 10 minute saving from 1080 to 720 (when checked with battery near full)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] jshashwat93:
I agree with you. I believe that's what my original question was. What are the settings which will give me the best display performance?

I was referring to display performance, which includes having the best visually appealing display settings. I do not care about any benchmark scores. I believe most people have stopped caring about that a while back.

Thanks. I do keep my resolution at WQHD at all times. I was wondering about all the other settings such as Settings -> Device Maintenance -> Performance Mode -> High Performance (I've heard this is needed to get the best display) and other things such as what screen mode looks the best and most saturated (Adaptive, AMOLED cinema, AMOLED photo, etc.) or if there are any other settings.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] dbldown7:
Hello!

I've never used a phone that is specific to one carrier. All my phones have been unlocked.

My girlfriend has a Verizon Samsung S7 edge and I've convinced her to ditch Verizon and go with StraightTalk with a Verizon compatible SIM. I hadn't considered software updates since I typically update my phone directly from the manufacturer or by flashing a custom ROM.

is it still possible to install an OTA update to her phone since she no longer has an account with Verizon? Or do i have to unlock her bootloader, download the latest update, and use Odin to manually install it?

Her phone is not rooted and it will be a battle to convince her to let me do it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] SoNic67:
Probably the easiest for you is to install on the phone and on PC the Samsung SmartSwitch: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/

Inside that app, while the phone is connected via USB to the PC, if there are any updates for the phone, they will show up and you can install them.

BTW, if you want to change the firmware to "U" version, Odin flashes the official files without root, phone remains in original untouched state.

Personally I have flashed "U" firmware over my "V" S7 Edge, just to gain access to hotspot, using this thread to make the switch (I was on Nougat then). I am using Total Wireless (same SIM as StraightTalk, both owned by Tracfone) and, since then, I got the updates for Oreo and the following security update.

Ubuntu Touch 16.04 For Xiaomi Mi3​

Hello everyone! Today i'm here to share with you a porting of ubuntu touch done by me, i used halium to develop it, so thanks to halium group and for their support.

Requirements

-You can use which operating system do you want

-Adb & Fastboot tools, you can download it here.

-The phone needs to be updated to android 6 or higher.

-Download all the files in this folder: folder.

-TWRP recovery, you can found it here.

Ok, let's start!

-Unzip my file

-Reboot your phone to recovery mode and connect it to the pc

-Open a terminal or cmd and run this commands: adb push system.img /data/system.img and adb push rootfs.img /data/rootfs.img

-Once it is done click on reboot and click on bootloader.

-When you are on fastboot mode run this command: fastboot flash boot halium-boot.img and fastboot reboot

-Done!

The default username is: phablet and password is: 12345

When the phone turns on run this command "echo manual > /etc/init/rsyslog.conf" and reboot so the process which uses all the cpu won't start up.

For audio you need to run "pulseaudio --start"

Wifi is buggy(sometimes work and sometimes no), when you turn on your phone you need to run this commands to turn on wifi

-sudo -i

-echo 1 > /dev/wcnss_wlan

-echo sta > /sys/module/wlan/parameters/fwpath

P.S Remember. It has some bugs, some apps crashing, audio not working and camera don't work! (GSM works, you can also use data but you can't call someone and you can't receive calls; SMS works).

If someone can help me he can send me a mail or comment below.

Try it and send me some feedbacks! Thank you!

Update

I see your comments and i tried myself. Halium-boot.img and system.img were corrupted so i uploaded all the file instead of zipping them.

With the latest update run these command to reduce the cpu usage:

- sudo -i

- mkdir /etc/system-image/config.d

- Reboot the phone

I think we have to leave these unnecessary circles on how to install fastboot with something we know about it.

Dear [MENTION=7264200]Mattia990[/MENTION]

BT, GPS, Developer options are not switchable. These can not be turned on.

If I try to make call, Phone application exits itself after a few seconds.

Communication with Windows PC is not working. Or I am not able to find this function When I went home I will try with my Linux laptop

Thats all for now...

...I hope you have enough time, patience, and your ability to fix these issues.

I am very proud and grateful of your work and big thanks for you because of this ROM. We are waiting for patiently.

halium-boot and system.img updated

To update follow the main guide "i.e. adb pull ... and fastboot flash boot ...." (you can use your own rootfs file, there's no need to resend/re-install the rootfs.img).

What's new: More system stabilty, improved battery management, wifi is buggy.

P.S After the update open a terminal window and run these commands:

- sudo -i

- mkdir /etc/system-image/config.d

- Reboot the phone
[Mi 3 Android Development] Mattia990:
system.img updated

What's new: Fixed messages app crash.

Now you can test SMS (sending receiving it).

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] AlexBrookes:
Not really, the final image would end up with a "haze" of sorts due to the softer image of the wider apateur. If there was a way to capture light data with the wider, and image quality with the smaller, that would, in theory, create a nice image. However, the device then has to effectively take two separate images at once, which would cause significant delay.

Hi,

some time ago, I had a functionality in stock camera that estimated your age (see example here). Since the update to MIUI Global 9.6.4.0 (ODGMIFD) the functionality seems to be gone. Any idea if I'm just too stupid to find it? I attached a settings screenshot, hope this helps. This is how I think the camera settings looked like before, with the age detection.

If Xiaomi removed the functionality, any idea why and if it is still on their roadmap?

Here is someone asking the same question about MIUI10.

Also, is it possible that the camera app now stores pictures in DCIM/Camera and not in DCIM directly? And I can't change the storage folder?
