[MENTION=7288053]Predatorhaze[/MENTION] and [MENTION=7799420]Choose an username...[/MENTION]: Battery calibration is completely unnecessary, it won't improve battery life or fix anything, you are wasting your time. Here is a link to a statement from one of Google's engineers:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.xda-developers.com/google-engineer-debunks-myth-wiping-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/amp/

I personally have never bought into the battery calibration thing, either before or after reading that article.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Predatorhaze:
Its not about better battery life,but percentages are shown correctly.i stil get 5hours sot
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
and of course you have to barge in with your infinite wisdom. Battery calibration is useful, if you delete the right file. Deleting batterystats is NOT calibration. There is a file called bms_reset that deletes the ACTUAL calibration files if it contains a "Y". This one really works, and is used for when your phone shuts off unexpectedly and that stuff, not to "improve battery life". It is NOT batterystats.bin and NOBODY HERE even mentioned that file until basically now.

If you swap your battery, there's a good chance that your battery will be messed up (e.g. never charges to more than 90/shuts off at 10/last 10% drains fast).

now there's the other side which is that my man Ter here gets fixed up on whatever you say to him, so after i told him about calibration (took me about 2 days to convince him in fact) he was able to fix his battery entirely and now he's preaching the calibration gospel like it fixes all of your problems. Audio bug? Calibration! Why the hell not!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] AnonVendetta:
Was that an attempt to make yourself seem smarter than everyone else, by talking down on others so you can feel better? If so, it wasn't very effective, had no effect on me. When I post here on XDA, I make an attempt to keep conversations respectful and civilized. And I try to help others by posting what I believe to be useful info.

However, there are times when someone posts something that just jerks my chain, and I have to try my hardest to hold my tongue. Congatulations, you have hit a nerve, I would love to say what I really think of you, but that would just result in intervention by the powers that be. And I will not give you a win by playing into your tactics to elicit a negative response from me. IRL, I am not known as a nice guy, and I have anger issues.

Moving on to more technical things, battery calibration is generally bad because most calibration apps/methods work by deleting batterystats.bin, this file has no effect on the actual percentage that is displayed to the user. Perhaps what you have said works, I will look into it. But I don't feel that I need to, because my battery life is fine and I have never experienced inaccurate #s with either of my A7s.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Predatorhaze:
if you dont have problems you should stay away from it.

Calibrating battery does not increase battery life,that is what i know (maybe it does for 3year old battery)

But what me was aiming for was showing correct % in statusbar.Sometimes it drop from 60% to 58% and then it stays on 58% for a longer time period( i think more people got this but are not aware of it)

Hi ,

Im currently having an issue with an external VPN application (UnityVPN) . Whenever i tried to connect the app an error was prompting "Snipping App is not allowed , com.blacksharkhelo.sdkshare"

Im try to search the said com.blacksharkhelo.sdkshare on my phone , nothing was appearing.

Hoping your assistance on how can i fix the issue
[Xiaomi Black Shark Helo Themes, Apps, and Mods] Invisan:
You would only have access to the sdkshare folder which might be under /data/ if your helo gets root. But that lies far ahead and mainly wont happen anytime soon.

Cause there is no working root method available. Neither for the Shark 1 nor for the Helo.

And keep your hands of shady scam stuff like Kingoroot and that other crap which promises a 1 click solution.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] bulczas:
hi everyone,

i've tried upgraded radio rom from here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Radio_1_Upgrade

i used the latest one 2.69, after "successfull" upgrade i can't turn my prophet on, actually it switches on, but i can see only splash screen and after few secs it switching off and on itself...

splash shows:

IPL 1.00

SPL 1.00.0000

OS 2.15.13.27

there was also GSM but now isn't

i can switch it into boot loader mode but can't flash new radio rom - no connection, but can flash normal rom... i don't understand it.

no differences after hard reset

any advice welcome
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] robertkyle:
you can try to upgrade your BB's ipl and spl to 2.20 and then flash a latest os rom like 19949 stable and fast,then maybe the problem will be gone... mine is the similar problem like you, on the 2nd screen ,it stopped for almost 10 mins, then it finally turn on...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] l3v5y:
You'll need a new ROM. Put it into bootloader, and flash a WM5 NVID ROM (see the wiki for those). From there, HardSPL and flash a WM6.1 ROM.

Also, I found a way to enable the clipboard on gboard and enable the sand theme & it actually sticks. (For some reason just setting the clipboard to true and the sand theme to true won't work normally)

Use root explorer, go to

data/user/0/com.google.android.inputmethod.latin

Then shared prefs & long press "exp_config.xml" & change the SE context to "u : object_r : shell_exec:s0"

You don't have to manually input that you can select it from the list. Then edit the "exp_config.xml" file & change clipboard to true and Sand theme to true. Since you changed the SE contex it'll actually work and the clipboard and theme won't disappear. But if you're using Smurf kernel for some reason it doesn't stick. The the sand theme is so dope looking

Can this launcher be used on a pixel 2xl? Desperately want to have the new gestures, and I don't think there is an oxygen os port available for my device. (Lineage has a lot of features but I'm not sure it's compatible neither). It'll be a couple months before I get a OnePlus 6t :(

Thanks

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rebel7022:
I'm still busy cleaning up the cyber week deals. I actually was browsing a website that was so run through they had pixel dock & pixel buds listed for 0.00 . I was like that's a great deal. So I ordered them . I paid zero for pixel dock & buds ?. Then Google fudged up some of my shipments so I got 25 Google play credit & 50 Google store credit. Then I tore up Google Express with promo codes & made best buy do some hefty price matchs. I'm almost done. Just got to get my pixel XL 3 fog case ordered with a promo code then I can finally see?Wait what I'm I testing out again. This thread is about the beta launcher sign up even know it's full. Ok and you want me to test it on my pixel phone to see if it works. If I can put my OnePlus 6 down I'll try
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] svntsvn:
I realized, the new launcher requires you to enable the gestures in the settings app (native to oxygen os?)

I wonder if the apk could be modified to enable the new multitasking UI gestures? I wonder if it could be added to an existing custom rom?

Just spitballing, it seems people have the new launcher working on some asop pie roms, however I'd like to see the tmobile version of the launcher (i think some with root are swapping or using modules etc on international versions) with the google feed, and the new nav gestures to boot.)

cheers,

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rebel7022:
Bro if the devs get onePlus launcher working on the pixel rom, Thatd be hella cool. OnePlus gestures are the biz

OnePlus has gone all Hollywood now though. They some tryN to support the Devs no more, accept blu Sparks. He fixes what they don't. First they got rid of the OnePlus girl who knows what's coming next, that's why I ain't getting rid of my OnePlus 6 it could be the last of the best OnePlus devices

What thread is this what is going on is this future or past.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rebel7022:
Ok, I meant 25 minutes, my bad my Gboard gots the clipboard set as shell sporting the same theme in beta and I was watching twin peaks the return so Google Assistant entered years and did the Lara Palmer hand thing, not me. But the Gboard is so dope work sand theme.. I tried to type to type a tutorial on how to get it to stick, but my gboard and my teaching skills I guess they ain't that good cuz no one think me. You see you can't get the clipboard and the sand thing to stick especially on Smurf kernel. But it probably got buried. No one likes me on XDA. Cuz I'm getting up to get down. And I don't if OnePlus launcher works in the pixel XL 3. Cuz I just try to download it and then I just was like, forget this, I'm signing up for the free month of project fee right now that just started a couple hours ago. Pixel lunchers is the biz ,I was like OnePlus who. This phone is the business the pixel 3 XL. The OnePlus 6 way too fast for me, I'm already fast enough and then you had all that ran and speed and quick charge I stopped sleeping. So I think the answer is no I don't know I got to go hit up the pixel 3 XL forms. That's where everyone's going. OnePlus went Hollywood and stop the dev program

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munky-head:
Spotify keeps playing when listening to voice messages on Whatsapp & Telegram.

Tested it on multiple devices, different OSes, with a headset, without, using car's speaker and whatnot.

Whenever I'd like to hear a voice message while listening to music, the music doesn't stop, and is playing in the background, making the voice unhearable.

Actually, the only solution I've ever found to this is to Force Close Spotify, just before I need to hear a voice message. It's safe to say that this is not the intended behavior.

I tried various tools: apps for managing autoplay and volume, auto-freezers, even Tasker/Automate recipes - no solution yet, at least one I could find.

Can you suggest anything for me to try?

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] mac208x:
Is 64gb truly enough? I had a I phone X with 64gb however I could never fill it up it was always somewhere around 25gb no matter how many pictures or apps I had. I currently have a 6T and it really doesn't seem to be the case on Android, I mean I have a few apps installed, barely any pictures and already hitting 30gb used storage. Really wanted the white pixel 3 xl in white at 128gb but right now it has a 5-6 weeks delay and thinking of settling for a 64gb instead.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
I had an OG XL and my wife a small Pixel both with 32. The only time it would get close for them was if I had more than one TWRP backup saved. With the 3, she went with 64 and I went with 128 just because. I can't imagine using that much. I am sure 64 would have been fine. Keep in mind, I store almost no video (taken or D/L) on the phone. YMMV based on that.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] brandonpa:
When I was on the LG g6 with 32 gigs I was running out of memory and could not get anything to the SD card to save my life (or memory) but with this phone and all of the same apps loaded I am running about 32 gigs of apps installed and with my music downloades brings it up to 43 gigs I got the 128 gig version. I don't want to say I regret getting it as there is always more stuff I can put on my phone, but if there was a substantial difference in the prices between the 64 and 128 (more than there is now) then I would have gotten the 64 knowing what I know now.

You could get the black 128 and get a white Dbrand skin and turn your 3 XL into a panda :eek:.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] stmm:
I think with the unlimited storage on google photos, it might be okay to have 64GB for the average person. I personally need AT LEAST 128GB because I love to take videos with my phone and I also have over 2500 songs that I put on it as well. Also, apparently google claims that google photos will back up your videos in full reso (1080p & 4k), but I've heard it actually saves it in 720p. So for me, keeping videos at full reso is very important and will most likely end up eating away at my storage the longer I have the phone.
