[General Questions and Answers] hebomamk:
Hi guys! I am new here, so sorry if this thread is misplaced.

I have an Insys VI4-903 tablet. Insys is a Portuguese brand, so it's unlikely that you'll find its products anywhere different than Portugal, Angola, and a few other Portuguese speaking countries.

A few weeks ago, after picking up the tablet after almost 2 years without using it, I started getting Google Play Store error 491 everytime I tried to download and install an app. Since I didn't know better, to solve the problem I first rooted the tablet, and then started messing with the tablet until I finally flashed a new recovery (TWRP) through Rashr app. You may ask me why, but honestly, I don't know why I did it. The tablet got hard bricked. Finally, I read about (re)installing the stock firmware. I tried to install some firmwares I found, but until now none of them worked.

I am here today to ask if anyone can help me find a firmware (or the stock firmware) for the tablet. I am using PhoenixSuit to install the firmwares, so I am looking for a .img file. The CPU is an Allwinner A33, and the motherboard reference is BM903_V1.0 2014-08-20. The build number of the tablet is astar_uarmmid. The version of the Android is 4.4.2 (KitKat).

Thanks in advance!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Dacoco:
Hi,

anyone coming from the Max 2? I was really shocked about the crappy speaker quality of the Max 3.

I watch Youtube videos a lot (without headphones) and it the sound was great for a phone with the Mi Max 2.

Max 3's speaker is really tinny and the earpiece isn't that loud as it is on the Max 2.

There was only one review mentioning the "slightly better" speaker of the Max 2 comparing it to the Max 3 but i don't think it's slightly - it's total crap.

I tried some equalizers and they improved a little bit but they were all kind of buggy.

How did you experience the speakers? Do you have any recommendations for a good equalizer software which works, starts with the phone and doesn't always lose it's settings?

Thank you

Its louder than my Xperia... yeah the sound is not the greatest but it does the job.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Thorpef101:
Hey guys.

I have a Pixel 2 XL and have had it for about 6 months now.

Overall I am pretty disappointed with the audio out of the phone. I am using my Ultimate Ears TF10 through a Dragonfly Black and it sounds much worse than just the TF10s through my iPhone 6s (not using the dragonfly)

I can see a few options here and seeking some feedback.

1. Root the phone (I have read on here some custom ROMs will give better gains over USB C.

2. Get a pair of Bluetooth headphones (I don't really want to do this since I already have a good set of IEMs. Also are there any restrictions with Bluetooth such as compression etc.

3. Sell the phone and go get an LG v30 with its quad DAC.

Overall I'm pretty happy with the phone but the audio is very disappointing and I spend a few hours commuting today so it's a real let down.

Let me know what everyone thinks

Thanks guys

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bjrmd:
I am surprised you are having such a bad expierience.

The USB only audio (no headset jack) advantage is that you can use better DAC/Amps than on a regular smartphone.

My measurements of the various ones out there all show pretty decent specs (with some exceptions).

The stock Google dongle is excellent (it's a custom Realtec chip), I am testing the new one this weekend. Sure, using my gain control app will get you a bit cleaner tracing but whether that's audible or not, hard to say.

Apt X bluetooth with the Mee BT adapter is also very good.

I wonder if perhaps your transducer(s) in the headphone/IEM aren't working properly. That happened to me a couple of years ago with my SE846 and it drove me nuts until I figured it out.

Another thing to check: What source are you listening to? Your own rips (and what player), Spotify, G music etc? Let me know and we can go from there, as the problems vary between each one. Do you use the on board equalizer or any equalizer? If so what gains, bands?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bjrmd:
I just tested the new dongle and re evaluated the USB audio in Pie - the implementation is substantially better and the gains are now properly optimized.

So, I don't think your issue is a Dac dongle problem, unless it is defective.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Thorpef101:
Thanks for the help so far guys.

Source is Spotify 320 kbps.

I don't think it's the headphones as it sounds fine when I plug back into my iPhone.

I might do some more testing this afternoon when I get home as my wife has the same phone.

I also have a pair of MEE X7 Bluetooth earphones and I am more impressed with these via Bluetooth (yes they are boomy but I can tell that the Bluetooth dac isn't being restricted)

I'll fill in once I have tested on my wife's phone tonight

Hi all,

I had the suspicion for some time now that my Android phone is somehow collecting private information without my knowledge and using it to bombard me with ads but I wasn't sure how. I know that google is reading my emails, my calendars and has access to my data stored on Google Drive but today something totally weird happened. I was watching a video clip on YouTube when suddenly the clip paused and an ad show up about a salve I was discussing about the night before with my girlfriend. This cannot be a coincidence! The phone was during the conversation on Standby mode.

I've found some articles and even some videos on YouTube regarding this topic so I'm not paranoid.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Meanwhile I have deactivated microphone permission for all google apps but I doubt this is enough. What else can I do to stop it if it is really true?

I have stock ROM from Honor installed, would it be helpful to install a custom ROM?
[Android General] Ticklefish:
Google, Amazon, etc do pay a lot of attention to what you do online, which can seem a little intrusive. But we're not quite at the stage yet of people being listened to for the purposes of advertising.

It would be very labour-intensive, kill your battery and wreck your data. Not to mention the massive backlash from the public if and when it was discovered.

It's not impossible that some malware could be made which does listen to you, but it's not going to be an official Google app.

But, if you're still worried, deactivating microphone permission will stop the apps from being able to hear anything. There's no way to sidestep this to my knowledge. If an app doesn't have permission to use the mic, it can't use it.
[Android General] sublimaze:
I disagree. If you know someone who has a Google Home or Amazon Alexa product, ask them if they've had a similar experience. I know people who have those products, and they had a similar experience as OP.

Eavesdropping via Google Home/Amazon Alexa is a little different than eavesdropping on private phone conversations, because you must give Google Home/Amazon Alexa explicit permission to listen in order for it to work. However, I would not be surprised if Google monitors phone calls/texts in some manner to tailor advertisements.

Wow, this phone has such garbage software. I hope this is the last thing I post about it but I just found out multpile things. First of all, all three lenses from the back are OIS capable but none of them use it except the telephoto lens, this means when zooming 3x (http://www.mobilenewsmag.com/huawei-lies-about-the-optical-image-stabilization-on-huawei-p20-pro/), but only in certain conditions. The green lines that appear on my selfie footage are from the digital stabilization algoryhtms badly applied. Also, when recording FULL HD, with 60 FPS, the telephoto lens does not work no matter how much you zoom. If, however, you select FULL HD with 30 FPS, digital stabilization kicks in for the wide lens, it crops my footage in order to compensate for the jittery movement instead of applying true OIS which it can do, and only then does the telephoto lens kick in at 3x zoom. Another "great" thing is that when filimg 4k, the crappy software also kicks in and crops my image making it much smaller than in live view, and it applies blurry digital stabilization... Worst decision to spend my money... never again buying chinese phones.
[General Questions and Answers] joenpd:
Hello everyone,

I have created thread regarding a specific privacy issue for which I could not get answers anywhere.

There are many apps that can read your browser(s) history and bookmarks.

Here's one:

A launcher reading browser history and bookmarks is quite suspicious. After seeing some apps needing this permission, I am more cautious and I avoid installing such apps.

I installed some permission check apps and only one of them: aSpotCat displayed apps using the "read your browser(s) history and bookmarks" permission. Here's the screenshot:

Note: The red colored filled rectangle is actually an antivirus app which I guess uses the permission to scan and prevent infected webpages.

So, I want to ask some questions:

1. Is "read your browser history and bookmarks" permission applicable for all browsers? (For eg: a browser reading all other browsers' history and bookmarks or any other non-browser app reading all browsers' history and bookmarks)

2. Is it safe to have system apps (some of them in the screenshot) read your browser history and bookmarks?

3. Any way to deny this permission for system apps as they can't be uninstalled (and some can't even be disabled - eg: Camera test app)?

4. When does any app having this permission can actually read browser history and bookmarks (when the app is running or even when a background service of the app is running)?

Any help would be appreciated. :)

Hi People,

Until the folks here @ XDA-DEV succesfully hack their way in the Shift to get :

- SD card access

- Bluetooth Access

- Wifi Access

- optional HDD access

it's still impossible to navigate using the WinMo part of this gem.

So.. I installed Microsoft Autoroute 2007 Europe, and tried to connect a bluetooth

GPS to the HTC shift.

- paired my HUDGPS (polaris brand.. also a Heads-Up-Display for in your car!!)

- pairing tells me I got two new serial ports, an SPP and serial port (com4 and com5)

- I start autoroute, configure it to use either com4 or 5, but fails. It says that the comport might actually

already be in use, or , the other port, it says : cannot open comport.

Usually, I'm not easily defeated, so I changed the comports in the device manager to 21 and 22 to

see if I could make it work this way.

Still no joy, it even deleted all comports without my consent, and had to de-pair and re-pair (aha!)

the Bluetooth GPS to get my comports back.

Even after that, I just cannot get Microsoft Autoroute 2007 to work with the BT GPS.

I will post more info (can I use other software etc...) soon, maybe someone already tried

to install navigation stuff and has a few comments.

Works flawlessly.
