[Fire TV General] markiejones:
Not comprehensive, but did grab a bunch of samples with some key differences (264/265 8/10 bit, 1080p/2160p, 60FPS) just to see what this stick could handle. My test bed was MX Player with the all-in-one decoder pack.

Smooth Playback via HW/HW+

- h.264 8bit 1080p

- x.265 8bit 1080p

- x.265 10bit 2160p

- x.265 10bit 2160p 60FPS

SW only

- h.264 10bit 1080p (LOTS OF DROPPED FRAMES - yuck)

Conclusions

Great hardware decoding, but CPU not strong enough for SW-h.264/10bit (a semi-popular anime format). I'm not sure if any SoC supports this in HW, but so far it seems like only high-end SoCs can handle this in SW (I have a Kirin 660 device which does a good job).
[Fire TV General] timtoolman2k11:
Thank for sharing your results.

These are very different from my testing.

I have multiple issues with playback, very annoying.

See: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78329629&postcount=5

Do you have these problems also? Or do I have a corrupt stick?

The MX devs replied stating that media server process has died during playback, forcing MX to try a different playback modus. And that they probably cant solve it.

It seems so weird to me, since then everybody should have these issues.

Bricked Pixel 2 - locked bootloader & no access to developer options - please help

Hello guys, I just bought myself a Pixel 2 device today and decided to have a go at some changes: I've unlocked my bootloader of my Pixel 2 to perform TWRP flashing & Magisk installation and afterwards I decided to revert to stock.

The first step that I did when trying to revert to stock was to relock the bootloader via adb because I thought (big mistake) this will also revert everything to the factory image. Problem is right now the device isn't booting anymore (so I cannot change anything in developer settings and the bootloader is locked).

Fastboot does work now (I get an "FA8271A02780 fastboot" message when typing fastboot devices) but I cannot flash anything (it always says FAILED: remote Flashing unlock is not allowed.

I tried the Deuces script and UAF but they don't work (because my bootloader is locked). Given that I cannot unlock it, is there any way of flashing the stock image on my device? Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] AsuraDas:
Sadly I don't believe so. Google doesn't allow us to flash anything without bootloader being unlocked. Other OEMs either have a program or allow you flash signed roms with a locked bootloader. For the trouble iTunes is at least you flash firmware through in the event of a Brick
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fuzzychicken:
Hello folks,

I am sorry for adding one more question to this dilemma?

I just got a refurb Pixel XL from ebay. I specifically told the seller that I am looking for a google version and not verizon but it seems, they sent me Verizon version as OEM Unlocking is grayed out in Developer options. Is that the only test there is to figure out if its Verizon or Unlocked google phone?

One of the threads linked http://www.imeipro.info/check_lg.html but it doesn't recognize IMEI of the phone I received.

Finally, I found this thread, https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/how-to-unlock-bootloader-verizon-pixel-t3796030 Can these instructions be used for a Verizon device running Android Pie/9.0? If yes, I will keep the device as its in pristine condition.

Thanks in advance, for all helpful comments.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Phalanx7621:
You can unlock the bootloader on Verizon yes.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] snappycg1996:
I actually bought an XL off eBay and sent it back as it was a Verizon, confirmed with a Google rep, and didn't know I could unlock the bootloader.

I bought another one and it was also a Verizon, but I did follow the guide after updating to Pie and it still works great. Now I'm fully rooted nad bootloader is unlocked.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bobjohnson1221:
Would unlocking the bootloader on a Verizon version essentially make it a normal Google Pixel XL? Any other differences? I want to use a Verizon Pixel for AT&T.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] PJK2011:
So if I'm shopping for a used Pixel XL, how can I tell with models have an unlockable bootloader?

I had previously read that only Play Store editions are unlockable, so I was surprised to see this thread say Verizon is unlockable.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Easy E:
To see if your phone is Verizon, go here ( https://www.verizonwireless.com/od/prepaid/bring-your-own-device/?imei=352630085164358#/checkDevice) and enter your IMEI. You'll get one of two responses:

If it's a Verizon phone, it will say "Awesome, your Google Pixel XL, Phone by Google is a perfect match for our network.."

If it's not Verizon, it will say "Awesome, your Google PIXEL XL NON-VZW is a perfect match for our network."
[Huawei Mate 20 X Accessories] Rudolpht:
I purchased the subject case (search ebay on that title and can see what comes up). It is the Huawei specific huawei labeled case. It was 34.95 and arrived faster than I yought it would (2 weeks). I know there are other cover and flip threads(s) but this one is different (for me at least)

I have had many larger phones from the original the old mini-tablets. I went "small" on the OnePlus6, but it is pretty good size and a good company (for mod'ding etc.), but have bounced betweem Huawei (Matre 9) to Xiaomi (many Mix's and Max's). My one real requirement is a good cover case so I can drop in my front pocket and keep it covered and preferrably not pull too much crap out when I remove it. That and I need to get to the figerprint sensor without diving through thick layers of pseudo-pleather.

I have typically been happy with the Niilkin cheapest cover case (thin, thin, thin) and if it wears our in 6 months, oh well.

We'll the mate 20x hasn't been in circulation that Niilkin even had a case, so I actually cut out a Xiaomi Max 3 case for the right cut outs as a temp.

Then the Huawei Flip Cover Window case came in. Like I said thin and cheap is good enough for me, but .... wow.

I have never really been this happy about a case. perfect fit of course. Nice smart cover (time and foot count, better than my typical no window cases), and amazingly easy to hit the finget print sensor. It looks good and just works. And despite being thin it still has a kickstand. Does it cover the beautiful blue phone. Yes, but I always had and liked black phones .

Yes $35 is more than my typical $15 but worth the extra $20 easy. I already ordered a second if/when I wear this out.

I'm a Happy Camper
[Huawei Mate 20 X Accessories] Malphegor:
Does the case have any magnets anywhere? I know the other kickstand case has a magnet on the back, which makes me hesitate to use it. Magnets and electronics don't mix imo
[Huawei Mate 20 X Accessories] Rudolpht:
Unfortunately for your concern, it does have a magnet to keep the kickstand back attached when using as a typical cover case.

Since it works with the smart cover setting, I assumed it has another magnet also.

[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] XDA XILFY:
I've been having loads of issues with installing Treble ROMs. Currently I'm on the PRA-LX1's most recent update with EMUI 8, (C432) and have only recently found out that Askuccio's TWRP is around. Previously I've been trying and trying with TWRPs like Haky86's which couldn't have even worked because it's built for EMUI 5, I've tried Pretoriano's for the P10 lite, as well as some other random one which is Chinese. Pretoriano's is always unable to mount my /storage/ or /system/ and therefore I can't wipe or flash anything properly, and the chinese one just placed me in a bootloop after flashing the Treble RR ROM.

I now have the Askuccio TWRP and I need to know before I try again - will I get a bootloop, or get in a mess all over again? I can't back anything up beforehand because of encryption and inability to root before switching to a custom ROM. The last times I've tried I've had to keep booting and messing around until eRecovery manages to reproduce itself from seemingly nothing and then redownloads my system firmware again.

Has anyone had proper success? Do you recommend any ROMs to use? I'd prefer RR, Lineage or Omni but at this point anything is fine. Thanks
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] ashboe:
I'm in the same boat as you. I have had many phones and rooted them all, but somehow the help on this forum lacks detail and consistency.

Hello guys, bought for my wife v30 few days ago and got wierd problem. My wife love to listen our local radio using built in fm radio (no need to use data network). But she cant stream that music to jbl bt speaker, because then radio goes to off and show info cant switch on radio when bt headset is connected by bluetooth. Headset has to be connected to listen fm radio because its anthena. I already used ordinary headphones and same, also change in jbl settings to recive only audio. Try the same with soundbar and still nothing. All is working perfect when she use network online radio, but when she connect bt headset and try to connect with jbl to stream music suddenly radio switch off and show info. Any knows issue or how to fix it?I choose v30 because of built in radio and very good photos and now cant play radio. Thank You.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] zacharias.maladroit:
Try enabling the quad dac globally, connect a headset to the headphone jack

and THEN enabling bluetooth connection/streaming

theoretically it should work but hardware-wise and software-wise there could be limitations (not possible) or the software doesn't have that option.

Was there a phone before that worked the way you expected and described ?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] giginski:
i think i used wrong word when try to describe my problem using my poor english. i ment when i plugin headphones to enable radio, because headphones also doing as anthena, then when i try connect by bluetooth with JBL, radio switch off. Its like i cant connect by bluetooth, to stream music from radio, with any other devices like speaker or soundbar when i have pluged in headphones. Phone thinks that i have connected headphones set, but i have connected just headphones.

P.S. i just bought phone 4 day ago

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] zacharias.maladroit:
two things:

the phone only might be able to output (sound) to one device at a time - so when plugged in the headphones it might be impossible to "mirror" this to bt headphones at the same time

the BT chipset might be limited to only use one function at a time - so that bluetooth and FM is mutually exclusive

several devices (or most ?) have a combined BT/ANT/FM chip - so it might not be possible to use all features all at once (could be a hardware limitation)

or that Android cannot do so (several output devices at once).

http://gopinaths.gitlab.io/post/android-audio-framework-architecture/

Since Android Pie there's the option to use several bluetooth audio devices at once - so there, in fact, could be those kind of limitations but applied to headphones and BT audio at the same time:

https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...cted-simultaneously-via-new-developer-option/
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Septfox:
This will probably require a workaround in the app itself. By default, Android picks which output device to use by some internal priority list, so bluetooth may have higher priority and switches from the headphone audio path.

Maybe the radio app relies on the current output device to determine if it can work, instead of actually checking that it has an FM signal.

It may have a receiver to "listen" for when the audio output path changes (Android would "broadcast" this change), which you could trick by telling the app that the headphones are the current output, but I don't know enough to write a script or app to do it, sorry.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] KUSOsan:
I ran into this on a different phone awhile back. Not sure if it was my V20 or my Galaxy Note 4 but yeah the headphone jack takes priority over BT. There was an app that allowed you to force it but I don't remember what it was called. Think it was soundabout or something like that but this was quite awhile ago.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] giginski:
i will check tomarrow that apk soundabout and try some settings maybe it helps. Also if pie can use up to 5 devices then i hope v30 will get it some day, will try soundabout and give u a call

Hope it works. I honestly don't remember if it fixed my problem or not to be honest it was so long ago. I think if I remember right you need the paid version because they changed it. I guess just buy it and try it and if it doesn't work just do the refund
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] DLS123:
This isn't a matter of output device priority. Looks like FM radio is analog all the way. I don't think it runs through any ADC in any point in the audio path. So it can't work with Bluetooth. The Quad DAC also can't work with FM Radio.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] zacharias.maladroit:
This wasn't a question whether quad dac *can* run FM radio or not (of course it doesn't) but if the output could be routed through quad dac and the FM Radio stuff thread the aqstic onboard DAC and then to the bluetooth,

something like if the basic jack-like functionality existed on LG's Android implementation

( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JACK_Audio_Connection_Kit )
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] DLS123:
FM can't be routed through any of the DACs. There's no trick you can do with any of LG's tools/apps/options that would achieve this.

Soundabout also crashes on the V30.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Septfox:
Try method 1 from here?

As far as the quad DAC is concerned: FM radio is a function of the SoC (why don't all SD-equipped phones have FM radio? Probably manufacturers not willing to pay QC for the privilege of enabling it), and FM bandwidth is low enough that the SoC's DAC can handle it no problem. I imagine they could rig something up to route the audio through the powered DAC for potentially more volume, but it's just not worth the trouble.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] zacharias.maladroit:
yeah, just tested - FM Radio app itself says "hifi dac isn't available due to FM" (or similar message)

that app isn't available on Playstore (at least not for me) anymore - it's available from https://www.apkmonk.com/app/com.maxistar.monobluetoothfree/ the file seems to be virus-free according to the virus scan:

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Septfox:
I'll check later if nobody else does: does Android send out a "headset unplugged" broadcast when a bluetooth audio device is connected?

If not, that might mean the FM app is actually watching to see what the current audio path is, which could be kind of annoying to work around...

Someone needs to take a peek into the app and see what broadcast receivers it has.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] giginski:
Unfotunately im not as good as u are with that things, so i cant do anything else just asking for Your help. I cant take a peek into the app i dont know how. I can only do and try all advices from here and what ive read on network. Maybe the only way is wait for pie (if v30 get it) and then try change there how many devices can use bluetooth. Someone from here said that android 9 pie will have that choise.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Interesting and you are correct about number of Bluetooth devices...

https://www.theverge.com/2018/8/8/17659526/android-9-pie-best-small-useful-features

On Oreo, you are limited to two Bluetooth devices. Pie allows five.

But I'm not sure how more Bluetooth devices well help you stream the over-the-air FM radio to Bluetooth?

You will probably have to use online radio to get Bluetooth connection.

Yes, we are guaranteed Pie. Ever since last year we've said it won't come before 1st quarter of 2019, and most likely 2nd quarter. V40 and G7 and even V35 have priority over V30.

Tried factory reset, too.
