Hi...whenever I take a photo and download it to my laptop, the title and description fields in the metadata already contain random letters. When I then download, edit and catalogue using Adobe Photoshop Elements, I give the photo whatever description and title is appropriate...these show up correctly in the Adobe software but the random letters still show up if opened in other software or if the details tab of file explorer is opened. Has anyone else come across this, and can it be avoided, please.

Tomorrow I may try making this change to the build.prop file;

ro.vendor.qti.sys.fw.bservice_enable=true to false

Don't know if it will help or not.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] culiacanazo:
Wow dude, interesting read, i will sign up for notifications from this thread hoping you get your answer because i have the exact same problem but with my work app, throwing it all out of whack and making me a target to big fines (in the $1,000's) and potentially reducing my marketability!

The attached screenies are from before i realized that the app getting killed in the background is what causes the problem (I've left it in the foreground HOURS a few times and it works perfectly!)
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] geeksquad2:
UPDATE:

Good news!

I seem to have solved my issue.

Time will tell for sure though.

But this morning and all day today, Spotify and the widget app have been running without closing.

AND I have seen memory usage up to 6.8GB used.

Here are the further steps that I took;

- ro.vendor.qti.sys.fw.bservice_enable=true (changed it to false)

I didn't really notice much of a change.

But then I noticed that perhaps the limit of 60 tasks was not high enough.

I seem to have that many apps open and limiting to just 60 may be an issue.

- ro.vendor.qti.sys.fw.bservice_limit=60 (changed it to 120)

THIS!

This seemed to have worked for me.

All apps seem to be open and be staying open.

Today I got a message/warning from android telling me that the widget app is consuming the battery in excess but I ignored the warning and android did not close the app or stop the widget from running.

I will keep an eye on the phone for the next few days to confirm that this actually solved my issues.

My next step will be to see what effect if any this has had on my battery usage.

I am curious to see if it's all that bad...
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] kantjer:
Nice find, I checked my build.prop and found this. No wonder my apps are killed

#ifdef VENDOR_EDIT

ro.vendor.qti.sys.fw.bservice_limit=5

EDIT: I see a lot of custom ROM's have "ro.vendor.qti.sys.fw.bg_apps_limit=60" to the build prop, I wonder if that going to make a difference
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] geeksquad2:
UPDATE:

I am a silly goose.

I broke a cardinal rule while troubleshooting.

I may have had a few too many wobbly pops and made two changes at a time, thus when change was affected, I was unable to determine properly which change caused the affect.

The rule is, "only make one change at a time when testing".

Yes, all of my apps stay open all the time.

I am getting the behaviour that I was looking for.

However it wasn't necessarily changing the build.prop bgservice_limit from 60 to 120 that did it.

Let me back up a bit.

Earlier I had suggested that locking an app to the recent screen didn't do anything for me, and that in my reading it only locks the app from being killed by you when you try to close it manually.

However in reading up on the oneplus framework-res.apk I found a reference to an oneplus whitelist of apps that will never be killed, and a reference to the recent screen app lock that suggests that oneplus will add a locked app to the whitelist and not kill it.

In the course of a single day, I had inadvertently edited the build.prop and locked the widget app to the recent screen thus breaking the one change at a time rule.

So the next morning and the following days when all apps were staying open I attributed it to changing the build.prop not realizing that it could also have been the app lock.

Last night I realized my mistake.

I unlocked the widget app from the recent screen and went to bed.

When I woke up this morning the widget app was not running for the first time in days.

Also the notifications that I was receiving about the widget app consuming excessive battery have stopped.

It would appear that I was wrong in my earlier observations regarding the app lock mechanism.

It appears to be very useful for keeping apps running all the time.

Did changing the build.prop have any affect on keeping apps open?

Maybe?

I have noticed that my battery life has gone for a complete ****.

I can barely get 24 hours out of the phone.

Worse is that it doesn't matter if the screen is on or not, battery usage remains the same.

i.e. with the screen off and the phone put down, battery life appears to be used at the same rate as when the phone is in use.

I had expected the battery life to be not as good, but I didn't expect it to go to for a **** that badly.

There must be a balance between aggressive app management and acceptable battery life.

The phone didn't display this behaviour until I changed ro.vendor.qti.sys.fw.bservice_enable=true to false.

I think that today I will change ro.vendor.qti.sys.fw.bservice_enable= back to true and observe the battery tomorrow.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] geeksquad2:
I think that ro.vendor.qti.sys.fw.bservice_limit= and ro.vendor.qti.sys.fw.bg_apps_limit= are essentially the same thing, except for android versions.

ro.vendor.qti.sys.fw.bg_apps_limit= is for Android 7: Nougat and below.

ro.vendor.qti.sys.fw.bservice_limit= is for Android 8: Oreo and above.

Someone more knowledgeable than me should chime in here though.

Keep apps in ram for much longer then original! For me the battery life is unaffected, might even be better.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] scloss84:
I'm actually Oneplus 6, OOS 9.0.9.

I also read that it doesn't work on Android 10 because magisk doesn't mount /system in Android 10, but there is a magisk module workaround that you can use. And hopefully magisk will update in the near future to fix that. Just google "Android 10 can't edit build.prop" and you'll find heaps of info.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] poppyharlow:
I've read a couple of threads about this matter and it seems that I have to wipe the phone anyways because of installing TWRP?

I want to root only for one reason, to recover very important camera videos I accidentally deleted. And I only know one way to recover them and it requires rooting.

So If rooting requires full data wipe, will I still be able to recover my videos?

maybe If I backed up everything on the phone this will increase the chance, or once I do the full data wipe there will be no way to get the videos back.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] PlutoDelic:
I think you have misunderstood a few things.

TWRP is a custom recovery. When you flash TWRP, you change the layout of a small dedicated "room" in your device, which has nothing to do with your data, which sits in a different room.

You wont be able to flash TWRP without having OEM Unlock available.

The moment you have it available, and you flash TWRP, you need to boot directly to TWRP after the flash, meaning, the system cannot start as it will sense the change, and flash a package here that deletes a few files that will take the phones ability to sense the changes.

After that, you flash the Magisk package, which gives you root, and preferably, wipe "cache rooms", which none of this affect your data and pictures you want to save.

Hi All,

I am trying to mod teleservices.apk for mode LTE/WCDMA/GSM but had no success. Xiaomi.eu doesn't update preferences for european networks with the Mi 8, both SIMs info report LTE/TC-CMA chinese 3G instead of LTE-UMTS AUTO (PRL) or LTE/ WCDMA. Traveling will lose data connection in the Netherlands so i have to reset with flightmode to get the (data)connection back.

I used this guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-538223-1-1.html

---------- Post added at 08:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------

So what did you actually do ?

Manually add the "4g_3g_2g" part into the xml ?

Try using one of the allready existing network modes instead like LTE/WCMDA or LTE-UMTS AUTO (PRL) and just make that default and check if it'll boot.

This is where I found the guide originally, maybe try asking the dude that made the mod for Redmi 4x/Note 3

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] davegrond:
I added manually the 4g_3g_2g part to the xml files. I can set LTE/WCDMA with *#*#4636#*#* but there is no option to set this as default after reset it goes back to the china based TC-CMA instead of WCDMA.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stoffl_:
Yes, I know. I'm saying try compiling the APK with a different default value that's ALLREADY in there and try flashing it again.

Maybe adding in a mode that wasn't there in the first place doesn't work with the Mi8 baseband.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sszz:
Did you manage to make this work? I tried the mod myself, I was able to recompile the apk so that it boots but there is absolutely no change to as it was before. The same three options in the menu, and the new default mode is disregarded. After reboot it defaults to LTE/TDSCDMA/UMTS as before. I believe this mod does not work in miui 10 and or android 9.

No no luck till now. Found some extra information and testing from others with the same problem. Data connection will break if you move to another cell with a differtent network if not selected the LTE/WCDMA.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stoffl_:
Still curious if the mod would work when lte/wcdma or a similar mode that's already available via the hidden network mode setting is set as default in TeleService.apk.

I tested the "td-scdma only" network mode for **** and giggles and depending on device and miui version there's different outcomes.

Mi 8 @ global beta set to td-scdma only : no connection. Just keeps searching for cells and doesn't find any.

Could be another hint that our mi8 is reacting adverse to the lte/td-scdma/umts default setting...

Redmi note 4x @ xiaomi.eu stable 9.5.2.0 set to td-scdma only: switches to 3g, stays on 3g *edit* no effect, it'll stay on whichever network mode it was set to before.

Redmi note 4x @ xiaomi.eu weekly 9.1.3 set to td-scdma only: no effect, stays on same mode as before. same behaviour as stable 9.5.2.0
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sszz:
According to my tests, no it does not work. It defaults to LTE/TD-SCDMA/UMTS after reboot regardless of what I set as default in the recompiled Teleservice.apk. Android Pie or Miui10 or the xiaomi.eu version seems to handle this differently from what has been described in the mod and get these values from somewhere else.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] epartsman:
Hello,

Backstory:

My S4 just decided one day to turn off. Since that time the only response I could get out of it was the initial splash screen, then it either powers off, or, it will cycle over and over again (I think this is called bootloader looping?). I've had the phone apart and I've run the phone off of a bench power supply in order to rule out the battery as an issue. I swapped out the charging board and that didn't help. I checked the function of the power switch and still, no love.

In an attempt to continue to use my phone while I save up for a replacement, I was able to get a main board from a friend. That main board, when installed, runs the phone perfectly. With one exception. It is set up for Verizon and I am on Sprint.

I've asked the Sprint folks if they could write their ROM into the phone, but they tell me they don't have the knowledge / tools to do this. My belief is that they don't _want_ to do this so they can sell me a new phone. So, I'm reaching out to the xda community to see if you can help.

I have some problems with following any of the DIY guides on this board:

- I don't have any of the setup / phone details from the original phone since it blanked out.

- I don't know exactly which phone hardware _version_ I have, so finding a ROM that would be 'stock' is a problem. And, I was lucky enough to get this board so I don't want to brick it.

- In the end, I would be happy to root this phone, but I realize that I first have to get it back into Sprint 'space' first.

Below are the device details from the main board that I have working in the phone right now.
