[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Brianrh:
Don't know if this is the reason, but a few years ago the EU set sound level limits on personal music players:

https://blog.mediamusicnow.co.uk/2015/03/23/eu-commission-control-volume-mp3-players-ipods-other-players/

It may be different again now but it would explain things.

If the volume is louder when set to the India phone region it would tend to point to the limitation being in software. I'm sure I've heard of apps that can give you greater than 100% sound level.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Reborn.N:
Thank you for replying. I would think that was the case if this also happened while running MIUI 9 but it didn't so I can't see that it is.

I do use PowerAMP to listen to music so I guess I'll just have to increase the volume that way but doing so wouldn't that distorts the audio?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Brianrh:
I suppose it would depend upon how much you increased it by; you could take the level up to at least of the Indian phone region level. If you can't hear any noticeable distortion at the sound level you feel comfortable with then it's not going to do any harm to anything.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Reborn.N:
True but it's only a quick fix for audio/MP3 only. Doesn't fix the fact that it also affects audio for videos also.

Please set your region to India and play some music and videos then change it to United Kingdom and play the same music and video again and you can hear how quieter it is
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Brianrh:
There do seem to be Android apps in the Play Store that claim to increase volume for media, ringtones, etc. I don't know how well they work but it may be worthwhile investigating.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Reborn.N:
Yeah looks like I'm going to as I just updated to the latest stable pie ROM and the problem is now worse than what it is.

If anyone is reading this I recommended you stay well away from the Stable Pie ROM at all costs
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] monsterplatypus:
Firstly I'd like to say that I stupidly dropped my phone in a bowel of water yesterday.

Following this ,I immediately turned the phone off, blew into the charging port to hopefully remove any water. and left it standing overnight. Then in the morning plugged it in to charge , which worked.

The following day (today) my phone will not charge when turned on, only charging when turned off.

I have tried multiple chargers, restarting the phone, holding the lock and volume button for 15 seconds and starting in fast boot mode, ect.

I am not sure what to do, possibly I need to get a new charging port and replace it myself, or with aid from a friend.

I cant find anything online regarding the issue with USB C phones, all of the instructions were for mini usb phones and they suggested bending the pins back into place in the phone, not sure if this s any help with USB C.

Should i leave the phone to stand in rice, over night, should I open it up and lightly apply a heat gun to it to evaporate any water in the phone, should I replace the charging port ?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, not sure if this is the right place to ask,

-side note, I dont need anyone telling me i'm an idiot for dropping the phone in water, I already know this to be true.

Backup ect before ROM

Hi Narayanan

Thanks for your response, I will try doing this tonight.

Regarding the ROM, I am not familiar with the process, Is there a way I can backup my Phone and system settings ect, and then do this.

How does one install their ROM again, is it simply a factory reset ?

I am a newbie to these things,

-Kind regards

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mahmoud10896:
Hello there everybody.

I hope that this article finds you in great health. I have a galaxy tab 3 and i have just installed the unofficial lineageOS 14.1 on it. But then a pop up came up saying the google play services has stopped working, and kept coming back up every 5-10 seconds. None of the google apps is working. I have tried rebooting, clearing cash amd force stopping, wiping my data, and even installing the OS and the Gapps again, but nothing seems to work!

I have now installed the OS without the Gapps temporarily. Can anyone help?

Hi.

I can confirm your problem. Nearly a week ago play services started to trouble my device. I´m back to stock a least for the moment. :(
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] laluuk:
Hi guys,

Could use some help.

I was having issues with my MOTO G4 (UK), so I decided to wipe it. I had previously unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. Anyways in Wipe > Advanced, I checked all and wiped everything.

Now it says "No OS installed do you want to reboot". I don't have a backup.

What are my options please? Would prefer Stock ROM, preferably still updatable?

Sorry - this is for Moto G4 and not Plus. Would be great if someone could move it.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] HeethJain21:
When you wipe system, you lose OS and then you have to flash a new ROM. The new ROM is basically your OS.

You have 2 options now:

1. Flash a Custom ROM

Connect your device to PC, and then copy the ROM that you want to flash in the device (no need to select "usb for file transfer" in TWRP as that option is enabled by default)

Then just flash the ROM.

2. Flash Stock ROM

Reboot to bootloader from TWRP (Reboot>Bootloader), connect the device to PC and flash Stock ROM.

From next time you flash, make sure to wipe data, cache, dalvik, system. You may flash Internal storage if you'd like to, but then you will have no ROM in internal storage so you will have to connect the device to PC to transfer the ROM zip file in the device.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] laluuk:
Thanks.

Are custom ROMs safe? Can the developer have gain access to your phone etc. Is your data safe. I know that's quite a broad question, is any data safe.

Where do I get Stock Rom for my Moto G4 please ?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] HeethJain21:
The developers develop these things in their free time as they enjoy doing this work, and aren't interested in your personal data.

Furthermore, all these projects are open source so you can always check the code if you have any doubts regarding your data's security.

The apps that you use can access your phone's data, you have to worry about the apps, not the ROM, so just make sure what you install on your device.

You can find Stock ROM here; just check if your model number is mentioned there: Stock N Firmware [Apr 01 Security Patch][fastboot]

You can also flash Stock ROM via TWRP from here: [ROM] TWRP Flashable Stock Firmware [7.0][8.1.0]
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] laluuk:
Thanks again.

I was leaning towards Lineage OS, though I would ask.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Lyuu:
moto g4 roms/firmware = moto g4 plus roms/firmware

just be careful flashing the firmware version, for example flashing single sim firmware on a dual sim phone or flashing a non plus firmware on a plus phone (fp)

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dkvm:
Hello friends.

I m very happy with the OP6 however one thing seriously gets on my nerves which is the joint volume control for notifications and ringer volume. I know this is an android issue but there are roms which have them unbound afaik. Here is what I tried so far:

- an xposed module to unbind -> works nicely but now my root gets detected so its kind of useless to me

- multiple tools like Volume Butler who claim to get around the issue by creating sound profiles and working with DND mode but none of them have worked reilably for me (I always end up missing calls or things don t work smoothly)

is there any way i can unbind the 2 volumes? I know this is a long shot given how much I have looked for it already but maybe one of you pro android users have a magic strat :)

How do you guys deal with this?

cheers
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Eric214:
This is literally the ONLY thing that bugs me about stock OOS. I have not had the urge to put a custom Rom on the op5 or the op6. But this is very annoying.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] lukezain:
I've had a problem with the sound quality of my Mi A2 when recording video. I'm a musician and I like to take videos of myself playing music but ever since I got this phone, I haven't been able to do so because the music sounds like garbage because of the sound quality. But I finally figured out a way to improve the quality significantly.

Pre-Requisites

Android Pie (I think Oreo will work as well)

Root

Root Explorer + Build.prop Editor

Instructions

- Locate media_profiles.xml and media_profiles_sdm660_v1.xml in /system/etc/

Open each file with an editor and change each profile's audio bitrate from 156000 to 256000

from

to

alternatively if the editor you are using supports it, you can do a quick Find & Replace and do it for the whole file.

- Edit your Build.prop file

Find audio.deep_buffer.media and change the value from true to false

Let me know if you have any questions.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Sixtte:
I have been trying to flash Magisk onto my device (H930) however when I do this using TWRP I get the following message:

Failed to mount /vendor (invalid argument)

I have looked around and haven't been able to find much on this issue and how to resolve it. In order to get this to work is this becasuse I haven't got a Vendor Partition available on my phone? If so is the correct way of resolving this by following this guide: https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/how-to/guide-how-to-repartition-vendor-how-to-t3789787

I am very new to all of this and am still finding my ground in regards to how to all this using ADB and TWRP.

Any assistance would really help!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
You NEVER need a vendor petition on your phone unless you intend to flash a Treble-ized ROM.

What version of Magisk are you trying to use? In TWRP, try rebooting to recovery from the TWRP menu and see if it mounts.

You are following the instructions in the WTF thread, right?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Cordtus:
I followed that thread exactly and got the same issue. Then when I tried to flash back to stock kdz it kept timing out then completely bricked the phone so RIP.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Why do you need vendor partition? That's not part of WTF bootloader unlock and root instructions.

Do you intend to flash Treble-ized ROMs? You don't need vendor partition for normal ROMs...

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

See below.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Cordtus:
I don't know why I need or don't need one. All I was trying to do was flash a slightly modified stock firmware through TWRP and that's the error it gave.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
For you, you were trying to get back to H933 from US998. The person who wrote those instructions will have to answer why that's neccesary.

I'm asking the guy who started this thread, and he has H930. He has always been on H930.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Cordtus:
Does the 933 need a vendor partition then? Is that how i royally ****ed myself?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
[MENTION=9616979]Sixtte[/MENTION], I have asked a lot of question the past couple of days to you to get more information and you are not responding. Did you solve your problem?

The thread you are citing is HOW TO GET A VENDOR PARTITION, BUT YET you claim you do NOT have one. If you could answer the other questions I asked earlier we can try to find out why TWRP thinks you have a vendor partition or possibly how you created one without realizing it.

[MENTION=3138121]seadersn[/MENTION], questions for you as the TWRP expert...

Could TWRP be saying he has a vendor partition when he doesn't?

Could he have created a vendor partition using the "basic" TWRP in WTF thread or does that need the more advanced TWRP in the dedicated TWRP threads?

IF someone can create a vendor partition using the the the "basic" TWRP in WTF thread, can they mount vendor partition using that basic TWRP or does that need the more advanced TWRP in the dedicated TWRP threads?

Note that last question is slightly different -- create on one TWRP, but need another version to actually mount that vendor partition.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Sixtte:
[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] Apologies for not getting back to you, I have been having issues with my internet. No I haven't managed to resolve my problem and are still looking to sort it.

I have been trying to flash Magisk Version: 17.1 But when I try I get the above issue. I do not know whether I need the Vendor or not to mount Magisk, this is just what is coming up when I am flashing it. The thread I have cited is just what I have found which may be a possible solution. Booting into recovery from twrp didn't enable the mount to work.

Whatever I have tried it seems to think I don't have a vendor partition or that I need to have one to flash Magisk.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] seadersn:
i don't know this 100% atm, but imo every twrp can ***** about a non-existent partition. no matter if it has capabilities for that particular partition or not. would need to test this to be really sure :) but that doesn't help him.:(

vendor partition creating is independent of twrp version, the script uses a default command available in twrp = sgdisk. so every recovery version available can create a vendor partition.

mounting no way with default :) only with DataIMG and IntSD versions, and SGCMarkus' vendorized recovery, since these have vendor mounting capability. for being able to mount vendor an fstab entry is needed, which isn't present in default recovery.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
You shouldn't have a vendor partition unless you intentionally created one. [MENTION=3138121]seadersn[/MENTION] can possibly investigate why TWRP thinks you have a vendor partition. I don't understand why that should prevent you from flashing Magisk. I've never had a vendor partition, and my TWRP has never mistakenly thought I did.

In the WTF instructions I suggest Magisk 17.3, by the way. 17.1 should still work, however.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Blackheart:
Hello guys!

I got a problem here I can't manage to solve nor understand with my S8+ Duos.

I flashed the official ROM (build G955FXXS4CRIA) via Odin3 and it installed just fine but whenever the phone boots up, it systematically reboots after a few seconds for no visible reason.

It's NOT stuck and bootlooping at the logo/splash screens because the phone starts up normally. No black screen either.

I sometimes get an error message stating that Google Play Services have stopped or any other random app (system and pre-installed) and it end up rebooting on its own.

I tried flashing other compatible ROMS and even used a combination ROM to troubleshoot it but everything seems fine.

Safe mode doesn't solve anything and doesn't prevent the device from rebooting.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] abhibnl:
I have been on a tight budget recently and this Mi Pad 4 fits my budget and the type of device i am looking for. Unfortunately, and i don't understand why, it's not available in India. I just need a PubG, Netflix, Prime Videos, and offline-movies consumption device in a tab (8-10 inch) format. iPad pro is too expensive and iPad budget version is not worth the money.

So, as per my research, my options are to buy it from Banggood, Ali Express, and Gearbest. Now, the part i am not sure of is, how much i would have to pay in import taxes and excise duty to get it shipped to Punjab. The tab itself is about 11-13K on these websites but how much would be the taxes overall.

If anyone had it imported in India, please share the complete procedure.

I want to share my experience on how I got viper4android working on my stock HTC One A9 sprint 6.0 marshmallow after several attempts, it should work on any HTC One A9 without issue..

Requirements:

1.twrp recovery or any recovery.

2. root access

3. Deodex.. deodexing is very easy with 3C-all-in-one toolbox..

Now download the viper4android+Dolby atmos from this link...http://download1060.mediafire.com/y9qsvg33amig/woyu1zc8cub9ja1/ViPERAtmos_5.2_Stock.zip ...now boot into TWRP recovery and flash the zip file..

Now wipe cache/dalvik

Reboot to system ..it will take a while to bootup, if u have xposed installed about 220 apps will optimize for the first boot but don't panic..if it doesn't bootup reboot into twrp recovery again and don't repeat any process just reboot to system again and wait for about 5-10mins and enjoy the power of viper4android and Dolby atmos...

Note: this should work on all stock lollipop and marshmallow roms permissive or enforcing.. you don't need to set to permissive..Enjoy
