Good day all. how are you? hope all is well. i recently purchased a kaiser running dutty's WM 6.1 version. can anyone tell me where i can find the shift key on the keyboard? i looked and cant seem to find it anywhere. thanks in advance
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bapssystupr3m3:
for me its the 2nd button on the bottom left side...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PsyOpWarlord:
Same here:

2nd button up on the far left of the keyboard. Or you could say the first button on the third row.

All the keyboards I've seen show it as the "Caps Shift" button.

If you using that and saying its not working then it might be the keyboard mapping is messed up. There is a registry key that can fix that problem.

My phone just lags for 5 seconds or so after taking a picture with the new Pixel camera app.

If you are seeing similar behavior, pls think about upvoting / staring the reported issue.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] parakleet:
I get your issue.

My intent is not to belittle. or start a war of words.

My question is why would it be expected for Google to be concerned about the performance of an application that was "improperly" ported over to hw it hasnt been made available to yet?

What is the goal?

BTW I have the P3 app and am not experiencing any issues v6.1.013.216795316 if it makes a difference.

Magisk over Stock
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] lssong99:
The reason is very simple. The Camera use a lot of RAM and RAM is not enough on Pixel 2 XL (or 3)

Right after reboot, I usually have 1.4G of RAM. and after some use, the available RAM will stay around 900MB. Most time when camera APP starts, the available RAM will drop to 300~400M where the phone will struggle and try to kill a bunch of background service, app, etc. This creates the lag and unstable.

The only way to regain all this mess is a reboot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Luinwethion:
Idk what you are talking about, the Google camera app was updated to all pixels via the Play store.

Ram usage isn't a bad thing, free ram is wasted ram, and I get that the camera app uses quite a bit of memory, after all, taking a HDR pic means taking a couple of pictures, saving the raw (~40mb per pic or so) in ram and merging it in to a single picture. But 4GB should be enough for this, and the phone shouldn't stutter not should it be closing apps that were recently open, it should be cleaning stuff that's longer inactive.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
I'm guessing parakleet assumed you were using the recently ported camera app by a dev that enables Night Sight for P2's. That feature hasn't yet been optimized or enabled for phones other than P3's. If you are just using the stock camera app from the Play store using HDR+ or enhanced for a single picture, then no the phone is not supposed to lag and you have a genuine issue. Is the phone getting warm at the same time? If you are taking multiple HDR's close together then maybe... Mine only lags a bit processing Photospheres, but not long. You may start with resetting the camera app settings (or all app settings). Make sure you wipe the camera app data.

Please read up on Linux memory management.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] lssong99:
I never said RAM usage is a bad thing. I just said what I observed on my phone which behavie very similiar to OP. My 2 XL struggls when the built-in camera running and since I have memory monitor app showing me real-time memory usage status, I can see the 2 XL's RAM become extreme ly (~300M) and my background app (including launcher) got killed all the time.

What you said above is what is INTENDED. But what I said is the real world result.

If you own a 2XL, just use it for couple of hours (this never happens after fresh reboot), then run camera app, taking 2 pictures, then return to launcher, then open camera app and taking some pictures. You will see this real world issue.

---------- Post added at 12:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

I believe your reply is neither helpful nor correct. Although Android is based on Linux but Android havily turned the memory management parameters and are running with millions app combinations on millions of machines (phone) with millions of different usage pattern, network status.. The behavior of each phone is bound to be different. What works on one phone is not guaranteed on the other.

Answer like yours assuming other people is lessk nowledgeable on certain topic then yourself is not a good thing on XDA, we are here helping each other here, try to find out answer together.

This is real world, not just some theory nor design guild line. And sure, I do know one thing or two about Linux memory management.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nomisunrider:
This is the problem. You just need to do a small amount of reading to understand why looking at free/available memory is not that useful. 5 minutes of reading is all it would take.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] lssong99:
Still not helpful. Sigh....

If you cannot provide any useful answer to OP or my real world situation, then please do not reply to this thread further. You are wasting our time.

If you are here just to judge the knowledge of other person you don't know at all, then please leave this forum. You are just being a troll. (a polite one, I admitted though.) We don't need troll here.

I do hope moderator can close this thread since this is getting ridiculous. OP and I have problem on 2XL's camera app issue which might related to memory management issue but troll like you insist we need to read some text book while not providing any explanation nor solution.

And to answer your question, yes, I did read the Linux memory management logic and I also read/experiment a lot more than just that. "Free RAM is bad RAM" is a myth that only applicable in certain situation like data server, since their primary function is providing data and caching data stored in slower disk in RAM is a really a good strategy.

However in modern phone, people not want only data, we want to switch between unspecified APP thus it's important to also have app cached versus data cached (also the data we want is usually changing on the cloud). Beside, Android memory management (at least on my 2 XL Pie) has a arguable bad habit of killing a bunch of even persistent app while available RAM is lower than 350MB (based on my observation). Instead of process my immediate request (the camera app), the phone spend a lot of time killing all other apps which causes the problem of slow performance on my 2XL as well as an explanation on OP's problem.

If you have better explanation or solution please provide, if not, please just shut up. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eagle42:
I'm currently using a mtk phone ( allview v2 viper s ) , and what i want to do , is to copy the stock boot.img file from my phone , because i will need this file ( it needs to be patched in magisk ), and after that , i need to flash this image ( the patched one ) into my phone . I have installed the following programs :

- UniversalADBdriver

- Minimal adb and fastboot

I mentioned this , because i may need these programs to flash the specified patched image into my device .

Does anyone know a helpful method which works , ( i know , you need a pc to copy it , also DO i need the usb drivers in order to copy the boot image ? For eg : what driver do i need from media tek ? CDC , vcom ???

____ moving to the next step . After patching the stock boot image in magisk , i need to open a cmd prompt in minimal adb and fastboot and type the following command : fastboot boot ( and the image name , eg : if the image is called t.img , type fastboot boot t.img )

I would really appreciate to be helped , because magisk is the best rooting software for android , and in my case , it's very hard for me to install a custom recovery ( twrp ) because there are no official builds for my device . So , i'm supposed to use the method that i'm talking about right now .

leave me some suggestions , a program to copy the boot img file .

EDIT : , i also found this command adb pull /system systemdump , is it useful or ? I would like to use a program to pull the stock boot image.

Thanks you for replying to my post , if you have any solution ! Have a good day , guys !
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiMkOo:
Hey guys

Recently, I ran into serious problems with my fingerprint scanner on my now 3 year old Samsung Galaxy S6. It has worked great at all time but all of a sudden, it stopped working. The only thing I could observe was this error message:

“The fingerprint sensor is not responding. Try again later." This occured on my lockscreen and in the settings app when I tried to access my fingerprints.

After a reboot, it worked for quite a while but that changed too later. In this thread, I want to share troubleshooting steps, that go beyond what I have found so far online.

Step 1: Remove and re-add all fingerprints

Step 2: Delete App Data of the App “fingerprints“ This is a widely spread method to fix it, however many users report that this doesn't do anything

Step 3: Factory resetting the phone but restoring data partition afterwards

I used TWRP for this. Back everything up, perform a factory reset. Then, restore /data but do not restore /system from your backup!

Since I did that, my fingerprint scanner hasn't stopped working for once and is still doing fine. Fortunately, the problem that causes the fingerprint scanner to malfunction lies in the /system partition. So restoring /data does not affect it.

Other online souces tell to factory reset the phone and call it a day but withhold the fact that you can actually fix it without having to set up the phone from the beginning just by restoring a part of the backup.

Anyway to adjust the BT volume scale? Seems like 1 tick up or down and it's too quiet or too loud with LG tone headphones. I'm coming from an S5 which had much better range and granularity with respect to volume.

My Pixel 3 XL disconnects from my car when it's in my pocket and I can't even walk half the distance in the office without losing the connection. Noticed WIFI range with Pixel 3 is much worse than the S5. Wonder if it's the different chips or the glass VS plastic back?

Hi people.

I am having a problem with a Galaxy S8 (G950F), the device is with the version Oreo 8, when I open the calling application it is very slow and when the call is performed there is no audio to either the receiver. when I open any application that uses audio history and the same, does not accept to record audio, does not accept to view videos and nothing that uses the audio, already tried to use a bluetooth device and no audio, already tried to put a headset and nothing of the audio.

THINGS I'VE TRIED:

- Hard reset

- I switched on the cell with the speakers disconnected

and nothing worked.

I am in doubt if this will be a case of HARDWARE or SOFTWARE

I'm trying to downgrade to Nougat version 7 and then post the result, but if anyone has already passed something of the kind thank you to help me.

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] hasoon2000:
I'd really hate to say it, especially being an HTC guy for all these years. Some of you may know me for developing the toolkits for HTC device to root them.

I went from the HTC 10 to the S9. I switched carriers and got a brand new S9 from Samsung directly for $480 earlier this year.

Huge difference with the 2 phones. I miss my HTC. I will say that. The camera on the S9 is extraordinary. It's the best camera I've ever used. My Nokia N8 (back 8 years ago) was the only phone I'd say that has an amazing camera, especially with Xenon flash!

The wireless charging on the S9 is a godsend. I charge my phone with it and prefer not to use the USB cable. Also, the S9 is easy to take apart. I work for Asurion, so I take apart phones nearly everyday. HTC is a pain in the ass to do. I can open the S9, swap the battery and put it back together in about 15 minutes. Super easy.

So in terms of maintenance, hardware and all that good stuff, I'd go with the S9, S9+ in your case. Only downside is that my battery is terrible since Day 1 and the phone can't be rooted/unlock the bootloader. I'm not really caring into fixing my battery issue. I deal with phones enough to not even care about my own.
