[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] rfkd:
Hi, on my previous phones I used TWRP to create full backups of my phone. My A2 lite is rooted with Magisk and I decided to keep the stock recovery to simplify OTA updates (also there is no official TWRP build available supporting encryption). The phone is already setup completely and I don't want to start all over again so formatting is not an option. Still I want to be able to create a full backup in case something goes wrong or the phone gets damaged. Is there a way to do this or do I have to continue with SD and TB backups? Thanks in advance.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] elvinguitar:
I used Titanium Backup before. But now I'm using Migrate for backups.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] a1291762:
My backup is TB and rsync of /sdcard to a server at home (automated overnight).

I never bothered getting anything else setup. I try not to brick my devices :)

I did have to restore a few times when I first got the phone, until I figures out how to recover from Magisk/xposed errors without factory reset.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] syndromtr:
i prefer Titanium Backup method with batch file to backup folders i need from phone memory to PC. of course i backup Titanium Backup folder too,

minimal adb&fastboot package is installed (portable) so i can perform below backup:

backup.bat

these example lines inside

adb pull /storage/emulated/0/DCIM

adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Download

adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Pictures

Hi,

I looked at this forum and everyehere is Extrom unlock, but I'm looking for SIM unlock to use it with other carier.

Is this the same Extrom unlock and SIM unlock?

Thanks
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jdc:
No. The extended ROM unlock is not the same as the SIM unlock.

The SIM unlock is available from the main blue angel page, under the upgrading section.

I own a Lenovo Smart Display which is connected to a few home minis. Love the routines and features with the Lenovo Smart Display, but I have been having problems recently with it. Google Calendar is part of the routines, so everything I have for tomorrow when I say Goodnight, and everything I have for today when I say Good morning. Problem is, it won't like detect(?) the Calendar, as if it was not synced. I've tried removing it from the routine and having it back on, but still won't work. Any suggestions?

These are carrier specific features. If your carrier doesn't support it, then you won't be able to use it.

My friend is having video calling option in dial pad but my one is having text messaging. Again in connection option i have 3G/4G but he is having 3G/4G/LTE.. why it is like that?? My carrier is LTE, but i can uae only 4g?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Frozenrosen:
There are several threads discussing it, I'm not sure if I saw a thread with the hong Kong version but I would suggest asking over here. And also, 4g and LTE are the same I believe.

[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] emcom:
Hi developers,

I've been checking Xperia Z5 review and it said the camera module is the same that we have in the XA2.

Now, looking at photos taken with Z5 I have strong impression that the blur (optics imperfection...) at the edges of the photos is much smaller in Z5 taken photos than with XA2 photos. I think it can be corrected to some degree, but It's not done in XA2.

Would it be possible to try Xperia Z5 camera app to see if the XA2 photos quality improved with it ? Does anybody know maybe ?

//Marcin
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] davidhozic:
Just try Snap camera app
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] emcom:
Well ,the thing is that I've tried already quite a lot of 3rd party apps, including Snap, and the result is similar each time - photos with A LOT of noise. Like the phone would not allow 3rd party apps to denoise photos.

Or maybe there is something special about Sony XA2 software that makes 3rd party apps unable to fully utilize its potential.
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] davidhozic:
Snap camera should have a setting for denosing
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] emcom:
Sure, it has - but it does so little change, that looks like almost no difference whether it's on or off.
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] theskig:
I have my old Z5 Premium and my girlfriend has an XA2 I'll try some pics as I have the opportunity and give you the answer.

PS: My Z5 Premium has both the camera and the back cover replaced by myself with parts from internet. Both were Sony problems but phone was imported so I bypassed warranty for not loosing money and time. Still takes nice pictures. I had so many problems with that phone, lens stains, camera black spots, jack audio fail after a while, it bent... :(
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] theskig:
RIP Z5p

Sorry seems that my Z5p is not working anymore.

During night my cat dropped a pitcher with some water on the table and my Z5p was there in a layer of thin water when I found it the next morning. Because of the broken back cover the water went in, there were drops coming from inside as I tried to press the cover with my thumbs.

Now seems dry but it only vibrates and doesn't boot. Waiting for more draining.
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] emcom:
So sorry to hear this !

Anyway, in the meantime I got my camera module replaced under warranty at the Sony authorized service site, and now it takes much better pics, the blur is noticeable only where it can't be actually avoided (in the very distant edges of the photos)

But I have found a thread in the Sony support forum where users were discussing the blur that was a nightmare in Z5's photos. Seems like the problem was quite common. I feel like lucky winner now that I got a new, fully working camera module.

I hope your phone will wake up eventually, anyway :highfive:

Best option is (perhaps) a downgrade to FireOS 5.4 followed by removal of Amazon apps that you will never use. Many of those apps pre-load themselves into memory and/or run background tasks that tax limited device resources. You can find more info in the General section of the forum.

Hello, my oneplus6 is rooted with xposed and i want to upgrade to pie as soon as the update is coming.... i need to unistall xposed and unroot the device and then update? and i need to do anything with my bootloader? relock it or something?? thanks for the help!!!!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Depressed T.Bear:
It depends. Do you want to keep root? How did you install xposed? Systenless?

If you want to keep root, install the beta version of magisk (17.2), disable or unistall xposed framework, install the pie upgrade, don't reboot, install Magisk to the second slot (after OTA option), reboot and enjoy.

Only thing is that we don't have an running xposed version for pie. And since rovo was last seen online months ago, we even might not see xposed for Android higher than Oreo at all.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Rontheron:
Hi,

I've just received my M5 8.4", well it's the second one actually.

The first one I returned as I could not get the screen to rotate when the tablet was in portrait position with the USB upwards. It worked fine in both landscape positions and portrait with usb facing down.

Huawei UK phone help told me the screen should rotate in this position and that it was probably a faulty gyroscope.

The replacement is the same, I'm somewhat puzzled.

Any advice much appreciated.

Cheers

Ron
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] dualview:
It's because some apps disregard rotation in portrait mode. You need the app called Rotation Control to force them "upside down".
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Rontheron:
Thanks, but this happens on home screen as well as all apps. My guess is that these tablets are part of a faulty batch, unless anyone has come across this problem and solved it.

Huawei Technical (UK) now tell me that it is not possible to rotate the screen when usb is facing upward.

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] box90:
Hi,

I've got an old M4 Aqua (E2303) with PIN lock (I've no pin, no google account and according to the owner it should have a simlock). I should make a factory reset, but there is no recovery mode on it and the bootloader is locked and Sony PC Companion doesn't work.

If I try it with Sony PC Companion I got stuck at point 4, I'm not able to load the plugin. The application interrupts the download because of an insecure source. I've tried to download the file manual and replace the existing one, but it does not work. I think there is an installation process missing. https://www.hardreset.info/devices/sony/sony-xperia-m4-aqua-e2303/hardreset/third-method/

I can enter flash mode and fastboot but I can't run any commands to reset the phone.

Has anyone an idea what I can do to reset the phone?

Hello all!

One of my apps checks for root using rootbeer. I can hide magisk from it, but not busybox. The interesting thing is, I don't have busybox installed!

I had xbin folder, with some files, like antradio_app, box, dtest.sh,... in it, but I already moved them away. So there is no /system/xbin folder on my device for sure!

My path environment contains /system/xbin, but I cannot find a way to remove it from there. Looks like oneplus doesn't set the path variable using init.rc.

Busybox checker also tells me I have xbin folder (which is not true) , I guess it's because the path environment variable. Please see screenshot.

Does Your 5t have xbin folder with these files too?

Can someone give me some hint what is going on? Thank You!

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] WhiteMonkey:
When I'm plugged into TV-Out or VGA-Out watching movies, there's no need for the screen on the device to be on. I've got TCPMP configured so it doesn't keep the backlight on, which increases the battery life a fair bit (up to around 2 movies).

But there's no need for the screen to be on at all, and surely the screen uses a large chunk (most?) of the power in this kind of situation?

Anyone have any ideas on how I could set this up so I could turn the device screen off? I was thinking I could perhaps allocate one of the hardware buttons to run a mort script or something? At the least I might see if I can link up the "volume" slider (which I never use) to do backlight levels (if I can work out how)...

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] WhiteMonkey:
OK, so I finally got around to testing this out (been away from home for some time) and I came across 2 issues:

1) Obviously once you've turned the screen off you can't control the device using the touch screen (duh!) - so an external mouse at the minimum is required so that you can turn off the screen and then play and full screen your media player (I initially forgot this during my "trial").

2) The video stayed on the screen, but didn't play - it was just frozen on the last image before I pressed the Wisbar button to turn off the screen.

As far as 2 goes - I've noticed that TCPMP has a "Play video in background" option (which was not turned on when I tried this out) that may be what I'm looking for. I always kinda wondered why you would want to use this option... I think I know now!

I'll give that Awady ScreenOff a go too... looks ideal. Thanks John!
