[Android Stick & Console Computers General] the great potato:
Sup all, I just wanted to chime in on this. So I had a firestick gen 2 for 11 months, put it in sleep mode went to an appointment came home and.. it was a black screen, restarted it and got a bootloop.... Don't know what happened, no power outs or anything happened. So I called Amazon, after a good wile of there so called testing that I did before I called and then did it all again for comic relief, I had to buy a new stick... Say what?? They offered a huge 15% off a new one... Wow! So after a bit of hey I'm an American and I'm going to bi*ch about this they came back on the line and gave me a promotion for 30 bucks off, so I did buy another one for 10.58 total...... I was going to tell them to shove it and buy a box that at least had an unlocked bootloader but for 10 bucks I agreed. What the hell really, I just got my new one today, anyone know if I can unlock the bootloader so I can try and fix it next time it does this? Or are you screwed with the fire stick? And anyone know anyway to maybe fix the other one? Any info would be great, I did hear something about Kodi and the new update. I did have Kodi installed but never even used it, so I won't be installing it this time.

I'm sharing another Tasker made app with one simple purpose: get you into the hidden App Notifications menu so you can change notification sounds. As many of you know this menu is not accessible through system settings. There are many methods of accessing it, including Nova, Tasker, or other shortcut managers but they all require work and a bit of knowledge. This app makes it simple for anyone. Even advanced users may find it handy.

It does not require root or any special privilege. Simply launch the app to enter the App Notification menu. This accesses the built in Android notification management system and is simply the best way to manage your notification settings.

Please hit thanks if you find it useful ?

(Because of the nature of this workaround it will only work on the official EMUI 8.1 release for now. No custom ROM or beta support, sorry. Once I've updated to 9 I'll share the new fix if necessary. I have Canadian L04 model though and updates happen here slowly)

Thank you for this app - tried this on my EMUI 9 Mate 20 Pro, but does not work ....

<EDIT>: nevermind, EMUI9 has this setting natively
[Huawei P20 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] djparent:
Thanks for trying it, that's great news they've restored the setting in EMUI 9!
[Huawei P20 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gyre8:
Can you explain how to access the restored setting in EMUI9 Please?
[Huawei P20 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] djparent:
I don't have 9 yet but I'd assume you'll find it in settings under Notifications where it should be. AFAIK it was unintentionally left out in 8.1 which is why we had trouble. If it's included in 9 a simple search through settings should reward you. ?

Broken link

Hi,

I see link to the apk if broken, i could not download the app.

Does this fix work also for P10 running EMUI 8.0 ?

Regards,

Mihai
[Huawei P20 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] djparent:
The link is working for me, try downloading from another browser maybe. I have no idea if it will run on the P10 but it might. If it does please report back so we can share with P10 users too. ?
[Huawei P20 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] prusto82:
This apk is totally useless. It's a joke? The same you can get if you just go to the notifications.
[Huawei P20 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] djparent:
Apparently you do not understand what we're trying to accomplish. You cannot change notification sounds in the menu you refer to in EMUI 8, only turn them off. But there is a secret hidden menu that allows to change any notification sound for any app you like. It may look similar to the one you are thinking of but if you know what you're doing it is very different, there are far more options available. You cannot get to this menu by any other means than sending an intent, whether via command, a shortcut from a launcher or an app like I've shared. Trust me, there is a purpose for this or I wouldn't have so many thanks for it already. But if you're okay with having the same notification sound for every single app on your phone that's cool too. Whatever floats your boat. ?
[Huawei P20 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] ndv92:
We can use Nova Launcher to create a shortcut that link to this Notification settings in this thread.
[Huawei P20 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] djparent:
You can use Nova Launcher to do this, yes. Other methods all involve installing a shortcut creation app of some kind and finding the correct settings entry. This app is for people who do not use Nova or would prefer a simple method with the hard work done for them. It's a pain digging through all those settings entries if you don't need to. ?

I'm sorry, but to change the sound for any app I go to config/applications/aplications/ choose the application I want then manage notification then sound and choose what I want... Using pie with a L29. I came from a custom pie rom on an oneplus 2 and, as i remember, I use to do it like that also... Did I missed something? Sorry about my English.

Yeah, you missed that you're on Pie. This is for EMUI 8.1 Oreo where the feature was/is missing. Huawei restored the setting in EMUI 9.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] M73_:
I have just restored my mi8 from hardbrick after I got hopeless, it was not booting at all because of anti-rollback, after I tried to restore an Oreo twrp Backup after an unsuccessful flashing of a Pie ROM.

fastboot was not accessible, nor recovery, I've searched for solutions here and there, and found that the only working method is flashing a fastboot ROM via EDL, but this requires an authorized account for EDL, and xiaomi are not giving authorization anymore,

I contacted Xiaomi Global service, a Xiaomi Distributor and the seller and no body helped,

Thank Allah Now I have my phone working again thanks to S unlock dot com,

first I was very afraid that it would be a scam, but it is legit.

it will take about 5 minutes and costs about 21 $, but it is worth it, the only things you need are the following:

1- PC

2- fastboot ROM ( if your phone is Locked China version then use only china MIUI), if your phone is unlocked you can flash global MIUI.

3- XiaoMi flash tool

4- normal USB-C cable

5- TeamViewer

6- S-unlock account (free can be created in 2 minutes)

7- Payment method (Paypal is available)

I would like the guys at S-Unlock for saving my 500$ phone !:laugh:

I found this one that is very fast and reliable

Did the job in 5 minutes and I paid after.

My Mi8 is alive but I will sell it.

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] deafmetal1:
With the August HTC announcement via Twitter that the U11 will receive Android 9.0 (Pie), wanted to get a specific Pie discussion going. I'm aware of the Software Update thread, etc,... but this is U11 PIE specific here.

Me personally. I'm hoping PIE brings a radio firmware update as well. I never got my Oreo VZW SMS issues resolved other than to stick with 7.1.1 until something comes along that works. And I don't like not having the latest security patches.

So that brings me to the next point. Hopefully PIE fulfills the promise of decoupling security updates from firmware and software updates. i.e., be able to always implement the latest security patches for that version of Android, regardless if the OEM provides updates or not. Here's to hoping.

Anyways, I know there are some PIE based ROMs out there, but hopefully when the first official HTC released PIE update hits the street, you'll hear it here first. ;)

Cheers
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] robocopvn:
1st of all, do you both have a history? or I'm the only one who feel this way.

2nd, Currently there is a Pie ROM here (https://xdaforums.com/u11/development/rom-slim7-t3855041), try if you want

For me, I'm not so excited with HTC U11 official PIE release, since the U11 has capacitive keys so they cannot have or evolve to a way we can have gesture or something like that.

What I'm more looking forward to is all the custom ROM which will come after the official release :)!

I'm debating if I should wait for pie or get a pixel 3xl. I have 2 U11's and one I got for free. With the black Friday deal on Verizon I won't even lose money. The question is HTC or Google Pie...
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Laoma40:
Me 2. But the boss may not be pleased I get another phone after a year.haha. Next phone pixel for me. Our phones are as important as our computers these days. She is apple fan too and she has told me a few times get an iphone over the years :). Sure rip off to start but it gets updated for years. Despite this I like the flexibility of Android so pay extra for the pixel and get security updates.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] mightywhites29111971:
When they announced we were going to be getting Pie on Twitter they stated 'Timeframes for roll-out will be announced in due course'. Has anyone heard anything about the roll-out as that statement was made three months ago?!
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] kurtschmeichel:
In this case "in due course" translates to "we have no plans".

I haven't seen any new information about Pie for the U11 since this announcement, and don't expect Pie in 2018.

Maybe in early 2019 ? But even that isn't sure.

Maybe HTC will close down before releasing it. :(
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] mightywhites29111971:
That's what I think. I did email HTC Support (waste of time) who advised me to go to settings and check for update! As much as I like this phone it will be my last HTC as they do not supply any after-sales customer care whatsoever!
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] rajackar:
i have similar sympathies. Up until now all of my phones except for one have been HTC devices but I have a feeling the company can't keep up anymore. Sense hasn't had a decent upgrade in ages. HTC apps like dialer look and work dated and now updates also take way too long. I remember that at some point they said 90 days (back in the Lollipop days) after a new android release and that would put Pie in November but we haven't even had a proper leak yet.

Unless they come out punching hard with the next model I'm afraid this has been it for me and HTC and I'll move maybe to the Sammy camp or something.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Laoma40:
Other than the lack of updates, its a great phone, my minor issue is how bluetooth is handled when compared to my last phone (lg v20 ) which got water damaged. With the Lg v20 you could have 2 bluetooth devices connected at the same time. So in car you not need to worry if you had your headset connected if you got a call. Its a minor issue but a annoying you have to remember to turn off your watch (i got a huawei band 2 watch you can take calls on).

Anyway back on topic, I wonder Pie would add this feature or not so if you got a call you can take it on any of the two bluetooth devices.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] tanto124:
Since the rumor that HTC was canceling early 2019 flagship phone, I think that may have some influences on Pie.

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pantumaca:
Is absolutely different. The life version is an "android one" device.

Is normal, as expected, that the u11 life get first the updates.

Now, should update the u12+, then the u11+ and the last the u11. If we get the update on February I would say that we are lucky.

Don't mess both version, because they are never the same :).

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] eckharttim:
If you remember correctly, tje unlocked US version of the u11 received the Oreo update the end of November in 2017. The 10 didn't update til February 2018 due to an issue in the original attempt in January. So, logically, the 11 more than likely wouldn't see the pie update til the first quarter of 2019.

Actually, if you tweet them and complain, they will promptly send you back a robo-DM discussing it, essentially giving no info, but saying if you add yourself to their mailing list, they will inform you first. It sucks, love the phone, but security is a huge concern. Still on a late 2017 patch? This is nuts.

I don't think HTC give a toss about their existing customers. Their only updates on social media are to entice new customers. As much as I like their phones I will not be getting another HTC.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrkhigh:
Let's be fair, it you want quick updates you have very few choices. Pixel and opo are the only two that come to mind without the use of custom ROMs.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pantumaca:
Samsung s8, s9 and note9 because they are into Google's enterprise program (it's mandatory one security update every month, and it has been that way since the s8 launch).

Htc is equal to a mid-low range device; the u11 was a 600€ device and only has had two updates along all 2018. If we were talking about the desire12 I could understand that low number of updates. But a flagship?? No way.

Anyway, the exact occurred with the htc10. One update at the beginning of the year (2017), other at the middle (August) and the last was at the beginning of the next year (this 2018). And that was all, it reached its end of life (with some bugs in the European version that weren't fixed).

So we can expect the same for the u11: next update will be the last.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrkhigh:
My apologies, Samsung has been dead to me for years...

I have owned m8, m9, 10 and now the u11.

I will say the only one that impressed me in updates was the m8, but I haven't been upset about updates other than that. Then again I buy htc because they are unlockable. The stock rom had never been a huge concern other than the devs wanting a kernel.

This device I chose because the specs are a pixel 2 with a different screen and I'm happy with my pixel 2
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] LibertyMonger:
HTC hardly has to update except for the major updates since their software is bug free and just works. And just works very well. Why fix something that isn't broken. I know, I will upset people who want everyone to hate HTC but that is my experience and I'm allowed to share. When HTC does serve this slice of pie it will be bug free as always.

Lack of security updates is just hype. I'm still waiting for the proof of consequences to those who are a few months behind. I'm quite sure if it was a serious issue there would be news and accountability. I only speak from respect and experience so no need to get upset. It's just my opinion you don't have to share it.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pantumaca:
Because in every software's live cycle there are two kinds of maintenance:

Corrective: fix bugs

Maintenance: improve software and add new functions (you ALWAYS can be better, always).

If something works well (tell to htc10's owners who updated to Oreo with battery drain and others bugs) is not a excuse to not work on that software.

Hopefully, this scenario will change in Europe since January 2019 when Google will make mandatory to update every three months to every device with more than 100.000 units sell. If not, Google will not certificate any rom to that manufacturer.

Sorry for the offtopic.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fujimens:
Wonder if they sold more than 100,000 U11 units and how retroactive this policy will be. Outside of that, I see the HTC as good ONLY for photography (I'm a photographer). With the new era of data collection and breaches, going well over a year without an update, even going more than a couple of months, is unacceptable, as the technology to steal and collect data is becoming more sophisticated on a continuous basis. Last HTC here and the S9 Plus appears to be very close in terms of the camera performance of the u12+, along with 256gb options with dual sim. Makes a huge amount of sense, plus custom ROMs are plenty, along with nearly foolproof instructions to remove the bloat and their overlays.

Will believe it only when I see it. I'm still on a late 2017 update and my device (a 128gb model) seems to have been passed up for the last round altogether. Definitely the first and last HTC I will own. Love the camera with which I have had numerous publications, but it is obvious the company is being mismanaged with no better outlook for their future, outside of maybe a buyout, which will certainly end support for pre-buyout devices.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pantumaca:
Thanks for the info.

Personally, I would prefer a security update (the same as Taiwan variant which is right now on November's patch) and pie along the year, no hurry.

That is something quite strange for me: why Taiwan variants are receiving updates (the u11 has received two since september) and the other variants are forgotten?

Couldn't that be a custom rom? Because I remember running geekbench on my u11 running lineage os 16 getting exactly that score lol. Htc still has a longway to go. They need to update their u12+ first.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pantumaca:
Can we assume that pie update has been cancelled for the u11? Since August there has been no news for a loooong time and if you ask htc the answer is silence...

No updates, no info, bad financial results... It looks very bad.
