GCAM worked for a moment!

I found a website where there was a collection of Google cams. I downloaded many of them and tried on MIUI10 on my redmi note 4. There was one of them which was connecting with camera momentarily.

It was cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_rTaimen_fAngler_cAngler_v2.apk i downloaded from that website.

When I opened it, it showed black screen. Then I increased the exposure, closed the app and reopened it. It showed proper picture like I have shown in screenshot but it was frozen on that single frame and I was not able to capture it by pressing shutter button.

I dont know of this is relevent or not. Just thought I should share may be someone deduce something from it.

[Update 04-Nov-2018]

I succeeded to take picture with above GCAM. But just for one time. Not able to repeat or make any method. Trying everything I did that time to find a method.

Can anyone confirm?

I think that news is false. No hal 3 on official beta

Is it possible that is still no solution?

It's probably deep in the system error, Xiaomi has stopped providing support for this device so this will remain unresolved.

Hi guys

Does someone please have the board software of the P8 Lite 2017(Pra-LA). My device is bricked and te only way to unbrick is with either DC Phoenix or buying a premium membership from Easy-Firmware.

I need the following file : https://easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&id=116504

If anyone got it, can you please be kind enough to upload? My device has been bricked for several months now. Thank you!

Thank you. I ended up buying DC Phoenix and unbricking my device. But I saw the file you linked me to is Android 8.0. My question is can I use that file to upgrade? I'm on EMUI 5.1 at the moment. And if so, which tool should I use to flash the file in the link?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w98seeng:
My 900W8's screen stopped working so I bought a replacement digitizer off of eBay. The digitizer came with the frame and some ribbon cables already attached.

I transferred all the components over including the little pink thermal sticker because the new mid-frame did not have one attached and although the phone works, it gets very hot after a few minutes. I'm sure it's the thermal sticker not being the right thickness or it's used, or something like that.

Any idea where I can get another one? Is it a specific size, thickness, density? I have found these online, but I don't know if I need a specific type. Is there anything I can use as a substitute?

Any help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Ian

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Getaphixx:
Yes, yes.. I get you can disable the pen color so that it shows up on white after a save..

But that's not why I'm here..

When the AOD (Always on Display) is active and I removed the pen several days ago I somehow was able to pick and choose my pen color to write on the AOD. I specifically remember choosing different colors, reinserting the pen and seeing how it looked on the dark background. Dark background being the Screen off memo.

I took the "purple" (Totally Lavendar Pinkish!) Note 9 back for the blue one and now I'm unable to choose or locate how to choose the pen color now.. So frustrating cause I know you can do that!

I'm lost..

How strange..

I clearly remember choosing colors and testing them out on the dark AOD display.

What am I missing here?

I installed Windows mobile 6.1 yesterday and I am experiencing a problem when it comes to my contacts. I synced them back after upgrading, with Sprite Backup 6.2. It's all good as the contacts are all in the phone.But when I recieve calls from known people whose numbers are stored. They show up as regular numbers all in international formats like

+1(713)....... etc. How do I fix this back to the regular 713 so that the numbers can pull up from my contacts, please I really need to be able to know who is calling me. The numbers show up as if they are not stored. Anyone else going through this? How did you solve it?

So far all I have succeeded to is use photo contacts pro to identify the caller. But when I check call history, there is no name at all tied to it.

Please help :(
[HTC Excalibur] jasonusmaximus:
just a guess by a noob, but did you check your regional settings?
[HTC Excalibur] Damionix:
Yes I did,

[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
delete them all and try syncing then with active sync?
[HTC Excalibur] Damionix:
Thanx

I will try that, but where do I back them up before syncing them. Try outlook? will that work? because my wife does not have an outlook account. I guess I will just merge the contacts with mine.:)

Thanx.
[HTC Excalibur] skisteven1:
Outlook does support multiple profiles if you don't want to merge your contacts. Google it for instructions

UPDATE!

Tweet by [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] - https://twitter.com/topjohnwu/status/1035974346441932802

He clearly states that many apps are still using the old API which Google recently banned.

[MENTION=6912598]z1_nile[/MENTION] researched this app - SafetyNet Helper Sample. It has been updated to use the latest API for getting SafetyNet status. Those having root (using Magisk) can simply use the SafetyNet check in the Magisk Manager.

Hey there!

Can a few of you guys please try the SafetyNet Test app from the store and share the result?

Mine shows Failed for some reason -

SafetyNetApi.AttestationResult success == false or empty payload

I'm using a mostly untouched stock ROM with Camera2API enabled.

EDIT - I searched around for it. Data was obscure but seems that this is expected. Google has made some changes to the SafetyNet API and one needs an API key to make calls to the API (?). I just want to know if it's an issue with my device or it is expected.

PS - My device shows uncertified in Google Play Store.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] GiZMoSK:

No but I'm the one who put safetynet helper sample app's screenshot which passed the test right in the comments. How can you say someone else found it while I posted it earlier.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] baunthiyal:
My bad, [MENTION=6912598]z1_nile[/MENTION]. I did not mean to pass off your research as mine or that of anyone else.

What I meant to say was, topjohnwu mentioned in his tweet that most apps do not use the new SafetyNet API whereas Magisk does.

The app to which I linked wasn't mentioned by him. I have corrected my mistake and given you credits for research.

Apologies.

Hey all,

I have several folders beginning with a . Which appear in my sdcard. Have other people got these folders too?

Can I delete them? Why are the being generated? It's making the sdcard untidy.

I am just not used to so many of these folders. I am sure that in previous Android versions, it was very little more than .android and maybe one or two others. Right now, I have 24, so it seems a little excessive.

Progress everywhere, here is an extended thread put together by iElvis where I find a great stuff to learn about:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-noobs-guide-to-b-partitions-op6-t3816123?nocache=1
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iElvis:
On Android, the . prefix is for hidden files and folders. Normally you can't see these unless you enable "show hidden files" in your file manager. Some are important, some aren't, and some are just junk. Rather than deleting them manually, you're better off using an app like SDMaid to clean up the junk. It's programmed to leave the important stuff alone and clear out the crap.

If you do it manually, you're likely to remove files that will just reappear because they're there for a reason. And, you may end up deleting something that really matters and make an app or the system unstable.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] drakenabarion:
Well that's an informative post. A/B partitioning is a very smart technology.

But I guess it doesn't mention the folders in /sdcard/, which I am referring to. I don't mean the folders in the root, because I know that's where system, data and drivers etc are run from. But, right, the folders in the sdcard possibly are keeping track of various things quietly in the background and I should not mess with them.

I guess, I would prefer to hide them from my file managers, in this case.

Ah very good explanation. I have sdmaid so I will run that now. ?

Thanks for your replies!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iElvis:
Just remembered something important and hopefully I caught you in time. DO NOT use the optimize database function in SDMaid. Doing so may break root and the only way to get it back is a full wipe. I made this mistake once. :eek:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
If this issue persists after FDR it is likely a hardware issue. Is your bootloader unlocked? As a last chance to rule out software you may want to try installing a full factory image from fastboot. Otherwise do you have any warranty options?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Maybe a video stabilization issue. Turn off the software option and see if it does anything. Either way, I would get a replacement.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dennis_cu:
Something weird, I tapped the camera lens at the back a bit hard multiple times and it fixed the issue. Problem is, after a few hours it shakes again and I have to tap the lens again for it to go away.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] grmcrkrs:
The headphones are cool, I just got mine today. They "feel"high quality, the controls are well made and snappy, but not too clicky. The bag and packaging are really top notch, like 7/10 maybe 8/10 (no leather?! OMG!!)

The noise cancelling part really works, and is fun to show my coworkers who haven't experienced that before. It takes out 2 out of 10 of all ambient noise, which if were being honest is almost all background noise in normal settings. Inside my house it takes out all background noise. On my porch near the interstate it decreases highway noise by about half.

The sound quality is good. I have a set of in ear Beats I paid $300 for, and they sound better than those. The volume goes louder than I want to listen to, and the bass is better than all the other headphones I have, but I do love me some bass (so there could be giant sub woofers on my head and i would be happy).

As for cons, a guy at my work also makes a good living being a DJ, and he refused to try them on; He said they look gay. So, idk if we trust his fashion judgement or not, but I guess hes gonna know what gay headphones look like... lol.

If I was paying for them, I'd happily pay $250, as they have good sound, actual noise canceling that I can tell is working, long battery, good construction, and well made and just plain nice case (and they fold up and fit right in there with a little side pouch part for the cables).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] @rbiter:
$250? They're ok. High middle of the road headphones. First on ears I've used in quite a bit of time. The noise cancellation is pretty good. Sound is above average. Today I think I noticed when the music is slower and has no bass there is static. Then the song got bassy again and static went away. I've read reviews of his hum or static, with some reviewers mentioning it is a constant. I am not bothered to listen more today but will report more. I think the going rate of about $150 is about the most these are worth. These are nowhere near worth $300. Both my Beyerdynamics are MSRP $300 and closer to worth it and I paid what these are going for. Perhaps if the AKGN60 were over ear they would fare even better but I am not a portable audio aficionado. Home theater audiophile is my game.

Thanks for the review. Sounds like a great pair of headset. PS - It's Bass not Base
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] LostDarkSoul:
AKG???

I remember this brand having a good unique sound. Well after opening these headphones up and listening for a bit, quite frankly these do not by any means come close to what they are asking retail for. Now don't get me wrong they sound alright but me personally I'd market this as 149$.

My reason for that price is based off this, Bose QC 35 ii is also priced at 299$. And for the same money the Bose QC 35 ii sound better in every genre, they have clearer vocals, & also has more depth(oomph) to the bass. They have a much better Noise Cancellation setup due to the fact they are Over-Ear vs On-Ear. Can't complain when they are free but in retrospect can't see anyone spending that much for the headphones in the first place when they don't even come close to competing with Bose QC 35 ii, Sony WH-1000XM2 and granted those 2 headphones are Over-Ear design.

However i'd safely feel like the Bowers & Wilkins P5 or the Bang & Olufsen H8 do a better job as well for the same money.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] marctronixx:
I bought a set of these for 50 bux on fleabay over the weekend. Many people are selling them.

Ive a pair of AKG N90Q’s which are the cats pajamas as far as im concerned. These n60s are worth 50 bux and I recommend you run some music in them for a few hours to “break-in” the diaphragms . They will sound much better after. If you hear harsh highs, you should break them in...

Sorry but a “PRO DJ” who says headphones look “gay” is not an opinion I would value. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] excalfirst:
I was wondering about the case for the headphones... The case I got from the promotions was a simple rectangular bag made out of a nylon material with a cinch clip and an inside pocket. I was expecting a neoprene case from all of the info I found online. Even the documentation that came with it shows a different style case than what I received. I guess I am a little disappointed that I didn't get the neoprene case, as that would have been a little more protective and compact than the nylon one I received.

Did anybody else get the neoprene version of the case?

Pretty sure they never caused cancer. It's like buying anything in California.
