Any bugs bro?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Randall777:
Kindle fire 7th generation. Had it for a few weeks, and I've checked out all of its settings many times. A couple days ago, I notice that there's a new set of settings-developer settings. After some 'research' I find that these settings are 'turned on' by going into settings/device options, then tapping on the serial number 7 times. I never did that! Also, 'enable adb' was switched on! I switched it off and cleared data for the settings app, to 'turn off' developer options. This is really disturbing to me.

Any ideas as to how they got switched on?

Should I be concerned?

When switching on adb I am warned that my fire and all personal data are NOT SECURE with adb enabled.

Under the adb setting it says "to debug over usb". Is adb only for usb, or can it be done over wifi?

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling my apps tosee if I can recreate this happening. It does not come back on.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] n-j-f:
I've just bought an N960F/DS 512Gb from what seems to be a reputable ebay seller and it is on its way to me. I believe it will come with Singapore Global firmware.

The N960F is not available in my region (only the N9600) so I am thinking of changing the firmware to stock UK BTU. Can I just install stock UK BTU firmware on it using Odin without causing any issues or tripping Knox?

Do I need to check the Re-partition box in Odin? I read somewhere that maybe I should but I had thought I should avoid doing that.

My local CSC is TPA. How can I check whether that is included in the multiCSC that I believe will be on the phone? How also to check if it is in the BTU CSC?

If TPA is already in the firmware, should I just install the AP, BL and CP from the BTU firmware and leave the CSC alone?

TIA

Edit: I see OXM is in the BTU CSC and I believe that includes TPA so I guess I can install the whole of BTU including the CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
odin stock settings will do.

fill up all slots.

selecting csc.md5 over home_csc.md5 in the csc slot will wipe data

i have note 9 with Malaysian firmware and i am in Pakistan now can i flash it too without any problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] n-j-f:
Thanks. As I'm switching firmware, I will be using CSC instead of Home_csc. So do I tick the Repartition box?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
if i remember correctly since pit file is in csc.md5 it will auto tick itself? load it and see.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] daniel4653:
To be safe, NEVER tick the repartition box. Since using Odin on the S4, S6,S7,S8,Note8, S9,& Note 9 I've never selected that option.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] n-j-f:
I have checked and Odin does not automatically check the Repartition box when I add the CSC file. So I guess I leave it unticked?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
yeah play it on the safe side.

but if you look at the log window i belive the pit file gets parsed anyways.

I have a snapdragon g935a. It Is on build number g935aucs8crj2. Yes bootloader version 8. I want to put the g935u firmware on it. I downloaded g935uues8crk1.

Simply used odin 13.1 and flashed. Went through flash and said it passed.

Phone just kept rebooting and going nowhere.

Booted into download mode, flashed the att original firmware, version 8, listed above. All good. Any clue what I may be doing wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] luke311:
You need to flash the firmware that matches you’re baseband version exactly if you can find it [MENTION=870661]sammobile[/MENTION]

---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

If you scroll down when your on the sammobile website at the page with the SM-935U firmware are listed you will see your baseband version of 8.0 and I would use the one that is listed as USA(AT&T) that is the version I used to flash my SM-935a. My phone is working great no issues.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] sleze:
So I was curious what people thought after they got their Pie updates? (I'm still waiting)

-Is it faster/slower?

-Any change in battery life?

-Thoughts on Google gestures?

-Any other thoughts?
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Jizzylax:
Same speed for me.

Battery seems the same.

Gestures are worthless.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] jtnc:
Seems about the same speed/battery life for me.

The recent apps view is a big step backwards to me, the side scrolling cards is not as easy nor helpful as the vertical view was. I still think Samsung's multiwindow mode is better than Google's and I do not think 9.0 improved it.

Adding a dark theme is nice, but implementation is inconsistent. I am surprised basic things like the settings pages do not use it. But it is nice for the keyboard, messages, and phone.

I'd agree the new pill gesture setup isn't great. The motorola fingerprint gestures is nicer.

The tiny settings icon in the notification drop-down is annoying enough I've given up on it.

Other than some other gui changes (icons and the like), it isn't that different from 8.1.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] sleze:
That's kind of the impression I have been getting for a while. Our phones already have great battery life and moto actions.

I am losing excitement for this update...
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] nykola5:
It was faster, the battery runs faster than 8.1, I do not like gestures, even though I feel that applications still need to be polished for Pie.

Return to 8.1 for these last two dimensions.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] jb2112:
Just installed the update tonight. Performance-wise, it feels the same. Don't know yet about the battery life, since I just got it about an hour ago.

I also found that the pill gesture setup was not up to par. It doesn't add anything extra to the original setup. It still occupies the same bottom screen space.

Dark mode is nice, but I wish it was implemented system wide instead of just by individual app. But probably this depends more on the app developers. But even system apps such as settings don't always have the dark mode.

Lastly, to access the gear settings icon, now you have to pull the notifications bar twice. Correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't it used to be just once?
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] sleze:
Yes. I noticed this too. The gear was accessible from the notification bar.

I pretty much agree with what others have said so far. Based either on actual speed improvements, tweaks to the animations, or the update placebo effect, 9.0 does feel a bit snappier switching between apps than 8.1.

The only thing I don't like is that the update seems to have made SwiftKey fonts bigger which is mildly annoying.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] cpthornman:
Pretty disappointed with this version of Android. The recent apps is now destroyed. It's a worse way to interact with your recent apps. Don't even bother with the gestures. Totally half baked. One button nav is superior in every way. The notification pull down is just hideous. The clock is on the wrong side and no way to change it. Why there's no way to change it is beyond stupid. The dark theme option is extremely inconsistent. Won't even darken the settings window for instance. You now have to pull the notification share down twice to access settings versus only one with Oreo. Seems that we've lost a lot of functionality and are being told it's a feature. Perfect example are the volume controls. What a joke.

The whole thing just looks like an iPhone rip off. And the general graphic style sucks. Material design is dead.

Performance and battery seem to stay the same. Overall a poor effort from Google on this. Going to have to root this thing so I can deal with some of the idiotic things they decided to go with. Worst Android update since I can remember. Can't wait to go back to Oreo.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] jb2112:
A couple more observations. The volume bar is now on the right side of the screen, next to the volume buttons. It also allows direct access to sound settings. I don't mind this as it feels more intuitive to me. If you long press the power button, now there's an option to take screenshot. I like this since I don't have to fumble again with two hands to take screenshot.

A big change is split screen. Previously, you can just long press the overview button to use split screen. Now you have to tap the overview button (or swipe up from the pill, if you use that), then long press on the icon on top of the app, then select split screen. If you use split screen a lot, this change is annoying to say the least.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] jb2112:
That change throws me off. I keep looking for the clock on the right side. And I agree with you; Google copied some of iOS UI while kept some of their own, making it an inconsistent experience.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] mandarip:
Fingerprint Lock

I can no longer lock my phone using the fingerprint sensor. I think this is a bug because it is selected in the "Lock Screen Preferences" settings but it does not lock the phone. This may seem like a small thing but it completely disrupts how I'm used to using the phone. I'm using the Google Fi Android One version.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] jhedfors:
I am on the same version, and it works ok for me.

Edit: I am using One Button Nav
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] mandarip:
I don't seem to have the one button nav option. Unless I'm not looking in the right place - Moto Actions?
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] jb2112:
If you have the Android One variant, one button nav is disabled on it.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] mandarip:
Yes, that's what I suspected and I suppose that could be the reason the fingerprint lock does not work after the update as well.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] jhedfors:
It is disabled in A1 version. You can get the option enabled by removing the following prop:

ro.mot.android_one

If you are using Magisk, there is a module that you can use for this:

MagiskHide Props Config

Confirmed that this works on Oreo and Pie.

Edit: updated 12/27
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Jizzylax:
Fingerprint lock works on my Android One model without one button nav. Have you tried removing and adding your fingerprints again?
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] jb2112:
Fingerprint lock still works for me though. I also have A1 variant.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 5190831:
This update is underwhelming for me little changes that are just seemingly random and pointless. I'm especially disappointed that the update broke Google pay , prior to pie I've been taking ota's fine with no impact on gpay.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] mandarip:
Yep tried that. It's weird because I can unlock the phone with my fingerprint but I can't lock it again. It's obviously recognizing the fingerprint but not for locking purposes.

I haven't rooted this phone yet, but this will be the first thing I do if I go that route.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] gerhardo:
What about the auto rotation and one touch navigation?

With the standard navbar (and the meaningless gesture) there should be a button in the navbar but that does not appear.

I would have expected a notification.

The workaround is to continue using an app I assume.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Organics:
I've been on Pie for about two weeks, maybe more. And, well, speed seems the same but battery has improved slightly IMO.

Google gestures are worth ****, but moto gestures are ok.

Supposedly we waited months for this firmware to fit the moto x4 like a glove, and still we've got a left upper corner clock, regardless of the moto x4 not having a top notch. Also the OMS layers deal: we can no longer theme our devices with, say, substratum without rooting the phone (some people are still on moto's warranty).

Recent apps style is less efficient than previous iterations of android.

Until now, that's about everything that has bothered me.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] geckobear:
My SD card became corrupted during the switch over to Pie. Anyone else have the same issue?
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] MotoDecline:
I feel like Google has a dartboard full of changes that they throw darts at, and that's how they decide what the next Android version will look and feel like. There is literally no detectable justification for some of this stuff. They're making changes just because.... something? I have no idea. The app carousel is objectively less efficient than the one we just had, and not by a small margin either. You can only look at one app at a time in it, which means more carousel-ing, which at that point, makes the carousel even less efficient than just opening your app folder in some cases. I guess it just made to much sense to see all your open apps in one view and be able to click on any one of them.

Speaking of making too much sense, I guess it made too much sense to be able to control your ringer volume with your volume button, or to be able to set to DND or vibrate with the volume button. Instead, Google thinks it makes more sense to tie the volume button permanently to media, even if you're not playing any. Even if you never play any. Your volume button belongs to media now. Remember when you could slyly silence your phone and put it on vibrate without even or barely taking it out of your pocket? Well no more of that convenience. Now you get to turn it on an start touching your screen like an ahole when you want to put your phone on silent, and look to people around you like you're playing with your phone, even if you're trying to be polite.

I'm not as bothered by things like rounding boxes and moving the time from one side to the other. I can easily see how it annoys people, and it's one more example of Google making changes to your phone seemingly for the sake of making changes. The things that make the phone more burdensome and less efficient to use, however, are inexcusable and really get under my skin.

By the way, we'll see how it works, but I'm wary of these new battery-saving app measures that are supposed to be baked-in. This phone honestly has a problem with, in a sense, putting itself and apps to sleep without you asking it to. I spent a lot of times on forums when I got it, and even spent time on the phone with customer service reps trying to figure out why, when I leave my phone idle for an hour or two, there is a chance that it might not be awoken by notifications. I'll turn the screen on and get greeted by all the stuff that happened when I wasn't frantically checking my phone like some kind of addict. I've spent one night with Pie so far, and when I woke up, it forgot about my smart lock location settings (as it always, invariably does every single morning) and I had to enter my pw/fingerprint to get things going. So I know it hasn't improved. Something tells me there is a chance it could get worse with Android calling shots on what should and should not be able to run in the background.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] sleze:
I did not notice the volume change. That sucks. I have never been a fan of how Android controls volume and keep telling myself that I will create an app to do it the right way. I agree that a lot of the other changes are minor and don't appear to have any rhyme or reason. We really should start a thread that compiles all the ways (root required or not) to restore some of the Oreo features.

All that being said, after upgrading my wife's X4, I am convinced that it is a bit snappier in switching between apps (which is nice).

After bootloop, flash RUU 1.30 after update to 1.53/2.55?

Hi all,

first of all, thank you for providing this noob-friendly thread.

tl;dr: It is possible to flash the 1.30 firmware when 1.53 resp. 2.55 was running before bootloop?

Long version:

I need to re-flash the HTC firmware after bootlooping my phone (by deleting a system app from LeeDrOiD ROM).

My phone stats (via getvar):

IMEDUGL

HTC__034

2Q5510000

running 1.53.401.5

Custom ROM was LeeDrOiD

Both on HTC and in the Google spreadsheet linked by 5m4r7ph0n36uru, I only found RUU 1.30.401.2 which I intend to flash via SD card. Bootloader and TWRP still run, LeeDrOiD doesn't. As TWRP said "unable to mount /(file name)" when I tried to backup, I have no backup. (Yes, I _know_ better, yes, I did cut that special corner, yes, I did beat myself up already.)

I'm a bit intimidated by 5m4r7ph0n36uru's "[IME/EXO][GUIDES/COLLECTION] HTC U12+/Exodus 1 – Factory Image/Firmware/Boot/OTA". No, I'm not a programmer. For me, modding my phones was just for fun some 12 years ago. Now, it has become a kind of self-defense against the all-encompassing data collection mania of both Google and phone manufacturers. So no, I don't always fully understand what I'm doing, but yes, I did search and read lots. And now, I'm at my wit's end and need help.

Is there anybody out there willing to help me? Thanks a lot, and have a nice weekeend, y'all.

Greetings,

Bee

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] worcester_lad:
I've just updated my Mi A2 to Pie. I have a pair of Sony MDR-1000X Bluetooth headphones, which support SBC, AAC, aptX and LDAC. I can confirm that LDAC is still not working. When I connect the phone to my headphones it should default to LDAC. I can see in Bluetooth settings that it's actually using aptX only. I can manually select LDAC in developer settings, but when I do so I hear a brief unpleasant noise (like a guitar being unplugged from an amp), there's no noticeable improvement in quality and if I close and reopen developer settings I can see that the phone has defaulted back to aptX. I know that LDAC definitely works with my MDR-1000X headphones - I had it working with my OnePlus One running Oreo. I'd read reports of LDAC working on the Mi A2 Pie beta. Has anyone had any success with LDAC on their Mi A2 whilst running Pie?
