[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] coolguy:
I am trying blokkada and after several hours , may be next day the phone just stops opening any sites until I disable blokkada.

So I tried adguard same thing after a day or two, have to disable the service and then it works fine. Once renanled it would fine for several hours or till next day.

Anyone have this issue? I am on 6t intl model.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] thedrizzle:
For adguard, set VPN to always on in phone settings > WiFi & internet > VPN, and then lock adguard from recent apps. Also make sure adguard is not being battery optimized.

Can't speak for blokada but this would likely work for it as well.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] coolguy:
Thanks will try. Which is good these days?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] thedrizzle:
I use adguard, even with root. It's not free but there's a reason for that. I find that it consistently blocks the most crap.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Hentai_expert:
Better Solution

If Adguard or Blokada isnt working for you give DNS66 a try. Its available on Fdroid. I like using it because i couldn't get the other apps to work because of some technical stuff i did. Finding an alternative is a much simpler fix than crying over something that doesnt work. When you get an OTA update, you can always retry Blokada and Adguard again.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] kokotas21:
From my experience the only thing that truly works is disabling the adaptive battery feature. This, along with disabling battery optimization, helps adguard stay alive during sleep.

Been looking at the Facebook Portal, it's got a USB-C port on the back but according to Facebook's support it's only used "in the factory", so I'm assuming maybe that's something they might use with a flashing tool to reset damaged units. Has anyone messed around with one/found out anything about how it might work? I've noticed that, at least with mine, if I hold down power and the volume up button while it's booting, the screen remains black but the mic light is still on. Thinking this may be some kind of recovery mode perhaps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwrezz:
Wow, you bought one? I can't imagine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casuallynoted:
Oh definitely not. Wouldn't be caught dead buying one. XD Was gifted one as an early christmas gift by a friend, but trying to decide if it's something I can do anything with before I maybe... return it and get a better alexa-enabled device. Feeling really bad about that though considering they wanted to use it to communicate.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwrezz:
Ah-ha! Alexa enabled, but what powers it? Is it some open source thing? AOSP even?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casuallynoted:
From what I’ve been able to gather, it’s running on some form of AOSP with a custom Portal skin- haven’t been able to get much more info than that though as the info on the device past what FB has put out publicly is pretty slim. Definitely doesn’t surprise me that it’s an android device though considering that’s just about all FB seems to develop for outside of the web (Oculus Go, Facebook Home, etc.)

Would be really interesting to try using Discord on this device though, and possibly finding a way to disable FB functions. Might make it a good gift then, if not it’s making it really hard to hold onto it.

Edit: This is my source for AOSP, assuming it’s the “Android Open Source Framework” mentioned:

Hello everyone, sorry I am late to the party. It is definitely android. If you run the chromium browser and attempt to open something like a pdf file, chromium will give you an error and ask for download permissions. This error message also gives you a link to the applications settings page from where you get access to some of the settings. No permissions sadly. You can however go in to the battery optimization settings and filter for all apps and get a full list of everything installed. As can be seen in these images on imgur /a/QWqs0pP

Portal USB-C is video out!

We're stoked. We've been using the 15 inch Portal in our conference room. Hooked up a usb-c to HDMI adapter, ran it to our conference room 4K television and bam! Absolutely gorgeous.

Works flawlessly as an output, and even audio (as would be expected) is now running through the monitor.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyfihx:
Oh niiiice ! I actually asked facebook portal customer support, and they said nothin could be done with the usb c port ! It really is a shame cuz some people probably want to output to a bigger screen !

I want to try if usb c headphones and microphones will work. I don't have any around though !

I've tested and seen that I can use the port as a usb c PD charger, it charges my macbook pro and oneplus 6 :)

Maybe we can figure out a way to use ADB to get us into the portal ?

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

Oh wait, never mind charging my macbook pro. It does so only intermittently, I should've guessed the power was too low !

USB-C to 3.5 mm audio only alternate mode?

Can anyone please test and let me know if a USB-C to 3.5mm analog audio jack also works - for 3.5 mm jack headphones or speaker out? More specifically, an active adapter because a passive one may not work. Such as this one: amazon.com/Tranesca-Headphone-Adapter-Compatible-Google/dp/B07M6Z2KJ4

What I do know from reading this thread is the Facebook Portal's:

- USB-C Video out (DisplayPort Alternate mode) to monitor works along with audio (monitor passthrough)

- It works as a USB-C power delivery charger

But if audio thru DisplayPort works means only audio to 3.5 mm jack will also work?

Interestingly, the official documentation (portalfb.me/2NAdtz1) claims the audio will continue to come from Portal's speakers. But people here claim it is transmitted to the monitor?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZetallicA:
the portal burnt due to an electricity hazard overseas.

I just bought the newest Facebook Portal Mini. it comes with a browsers from Facebook. I was able to make a phone call using duo.google.com then the next day.. I lost permission to the camera: it keeps asking me for permissions.

I think they have some kind of firewall that blocks unusual behaviors
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyfihx:
I don't really know how to do those things... But it tried scanning my portal for open ports, no ip adp connection possible. And then, with usb c connected nothing happens with adb. It can't seem to see it !

I tried enabling hidden developpers options by pressing a lot everywhere in the settings, but no luck !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casuallynoted:
Alrighty, I've got an update for you guys. It seems like FB locked out that PDF trick sadly. However, I found out that if you restart your portal and hold all three buttons down, then plug in the USB-C, it appears as a device named "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)". Based on what I've seen on a few threads here, that's a utility for reflashing and backing up device firmware. I believe we may be able to do stuff with this.

I am looking into getting the FB Portal TV. If the party on the other end of the connection is using their smart phone or tablet, does the image I am seeing become altered from wide screen to a vertical image

or does the unit adapt to keep the screen filled without becoming distorted in some way?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skmike:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bingbo123321:
So I was able to get fasboot access to my Facebook Portal+ (1st Gen).

If you plug in the power and hold down the vol down + power button. It will show the portal logo on the screen and on a black box it says "Please Reboot...". If you connect to the usb-c port then it looks like there is fastboot access to the device. It's definitely locked down, but it's a start.

I've been trying to figure out how to get adb / sideload access for a while now and this is as close as I've been able to get. I'll let you know if I find out more.

Hi,

bought Zenfone 5 from eglobal , unfortunately the device not support LTE band 20 even seller says that all LTE bands are supported.

There is an option to unlock missing bands using QPST and QXDM Qualcomm utils. Device is rooted, ADB installed and based on the informations I found

these commands via ADB should open diag port in system:

adb shell

su

setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb

ADB find device, super user was added, but windows 10 device manager not showing : qualcom HA-USB android diag as on other phones

USB debugging is on

thank you

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Blooddrunked:
Hello!

I run into a problem. Any launcher, i want to install, have the dock on the fingerprint - side in landscape mode. Ive done a massive research, and i think, that the problem is the default orientation. From device info i know, the default orientation for my mediapad m5 is portait mode.

I am a long time into rooting and stuff, but i cant work with the huawei "filesystem". I have searches 2 hours now, and i dont find a single xml or other file, where the default display orientation is specified.

Does anyone know, how to change it the way, that i can use the dock on the bottom side of landscape mode? Does anyone know how to find the default display orientation settings?

Sorry for my bad english, i hope you understand me!

Thank you!
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Blooddrunked:
Can be closed. To get the normal orientation on launchers set the dpi from 400 to 350!
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] exitmood:
This is my problem too

I changed smallest width in developer options and set to 350 but the Apex or nova launcher won't rotate yet, How can I change the dpi? Some apps won't rotate to landscape, like launcher or zus car app.. Any one can help please?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] mananas:
build.prop?

I think the default orientation can be adjusted in build.prop properties.

check

/system/build.prop

Not sure which of 0, 90, 180, 270 you need.

ro.sf.hwrotation=90

Permissions of file must be rw-r--r-- (0644) or you may have boot problems.

Owner may also have to be root. Check the original on your device.

Application may still override this.

It is not an XML file.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] zymphad:
Do not get it. The free case provided with the phone is better!

I thought the textured nylon back would provide some grip, it doesn't. It's very slippery.

Secondly... Wow... if there was ever a lint, dust, dirt magnet. It's like trying to remove dog hair from your clothing, really annoying.

Do not get it, unless you continuously enjoy trying to get crap off your case.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] Mikeeh76:
That was my concern why I held off. I also got sold into using those pop sockets. So that won't work with the nylon case
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] Finneri:
Been using the case for few days now and I'm happy. I agree with the grip issue, the back is slippery but the sides are grippy.

No dirt/dust issue for me, easy to clean.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] scott45333:
I went with the nylon case when I ordered the phone. I personally think it's a great case. You are correct on the grip and lint magnet issues. But, any lint can be easily removed just by rubbing over it. I've tried a couple other cases I purchased, but keep coming back to the nylon because I really like the look.

It all comes down to personal preference.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] pkadavid:
I've had it since day one and haven't had a single of the problems you listed. It's awesome. The felt on the inside is also great because it keeps scratches off of the back.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] gyagapen:
I also have it since day 1 and I love it. Side grip is ok, and it remained clean so far. However, for sure it's gorgeous!
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] rebar71:
I have the Karbon case and the Nylon case. I bought the Karbon when I bought the phone. I bought the Nylon with a bundle accessory pack from 1+. OP is correct in that the Nylon back is very slippery - but the sides are really grippy. I prefer the Karbon case because it is slimmer all around and the back is more grippy - it kinda feels like the rubberized paint some OEMS used to use. Of course, I also have that original TPU case - it's still in the box.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] davemuir:
I'm using Nylon case but my opinion is very different. I don't have any issues with grip, or debris?
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] lloydsw:
I want one with a grippy back. Tired of my phone slipping off the dash. Since I'm very rural, have to keep it there to have a signal.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] CoolRalph:
the grip issue i can agree with, however not so much on the dirt/debris issue. the first day it seemed like it was picking up fuzzies, however after that its been fine. once in a while ill put it in a new hoodie pocket and it will get a little lint on it but its very easy to wipe off. not to mention it looks gorgeous.

New to android. I keep trying to send a video through android messages but when I click the + it only says choose photo. I know there is likely a size restriction but the video is less than 5mb. Am I missing something?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mikex8593:
Share through gallery app.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] jrobin9:
I tried that I think. I opened gallery and select the video and click share. A big list opens up but "Android Message" isn't one of them. EDIT Ok looks like I need to dig into adjusting share either via normal method or something like "custom share" app. Thks for the info.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] jrobin9:
Ok. So it just doesn't let me share video at all in pie 9.02 using android message. In the gallery if I select any photo then Android Message appears in the share list. For a 1.5mb video it never appears. I suspect this is only limited to Android message and if I used whats app or something it would probably work. Anyone else have this issue?

I have been unable to find any app that fixes the issue. Any suggestions?

APN is ATT nextgenphone with an option for ATT phone. The SIM is from an Iphone and Ive tried using both.

I can open messages and click + and record a video from camera and send it . So sending video isn't the issue it's just messages isn't in the share list for existing videos.

[Shift General] basti.hoehne:
Hi everybody,

First I want to thank for getting full WM6 on my shift! It is really great!

MY problem is the calendar. I use Pocketinformant (been using it on my pda-devices for a long time) for shift also and if I want so save a new appointment or edit it and then save again, the sytem freezes for at least 40 seconds. Then I can go ahead normally. This is really annoying! I have to admit, that I have a lot of calendar data (at least 1000) and the pim-file on WM6 is 4,8 MB big. Could it be the size of the pim-data? But my pda-devices in former times could manage it also without problems.

IF I don't want to save a thing in calendar, the working speed is good (scrolling, searching for items, ...). In mormal WM6-calendar the problem is the same, by the way.

Does anybody have the same problem and maybe an solution for this?

My shift is a german device.

BEst regards,

Sebastian

[Shift General] Martincyborg@gmail.com:
how much free memory have you got left? I think we all will have a new device to look forward to when the shift team figures out how to let the wm-part see the sd-slot! That would be a MAJOR break. I have pm, tm and presentation from softmaker installed as well as tcpmp, and thats all I have space for, now i cannot download more than 10 mails before I get "no more memory error"

I will be patiently waiting for the shift team to save my day ;-)

I have about 18 MB of free data memory and 20 MB RAM left. I only liberated my shift, installed realVGA and PocketInformant.

Hi guys i just got the P20 pro, CLT-L04(c69).

its from a carrier called telcel.

i bought this phone used at 2 months old.

so i did not buy it directly from carrier.

i think its network locked. as it has all the telcel branding throughout the eui

can i still unlock bootloader if the carrier is locked? or do i need to get it unlocked from the network first?

my ultimate goal is to unlock bootloader , root it and install up to date firmware. maybe Pie if im lucky.

i dont want to have to spend money for both network unlock and bootloader unlock if i dont have to.

if anyone can tell me if i can just unlock bootloader?

To make a long story short, I tried flashing a ROM that I decided didn't work for me at this point in development (no audio during calls), so I tried to restore a backup. I was met with an error. I then tried to flash the OOS 9.0.7 zip, and once I did that, I kept rebooting to TWRP each time. I tried only restoring boot and system of my backup, and then I booted to fastboot. I haven't been able to get out of it since. I've tried seemingly everything: booting TWRP via adb, booting the stock recovery image, flashing the OOS zip....and I was met with errors each time.
