[Android Head-Units] lastinfantry:
Hey everyone,

I ended up here after doing lots of research about my budget android head unit. It's a generic, no-name one from eBay that I got a few months ago, just to see if it's something for me.

There are a few things that I like about it and a few things that I don't like.

I enjoy the standard Android interface, being able to setup Nova launcher and install any app is a big must for me. I don't want to rely on my phone for my headunit to work.

But I am annoyed by the headunit taking forever to boot up, using lots of battery when in "standby", and automatically booting into the radio app at high volume, and the lack of a volume knob..

I am now in the market for a new one and I don't know where to start. Which one should I get? Which brands are good? Which Android version should I get? Which processor and how much RAM should I look for?

I read that some have solved the standby issue, meaning some head units should be able to be in standby for days without draining the battery. Which ones?

I'm not expecting any spoonfeeding, but I would appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction, link a place to do good research. Maybe there is a sticky or FAQ somewhere with the info I'm looking for?

Thanks a lot!

Same here! Especially since there are a ton of posts and no responses (see my posting last week with pretty much the same question looking for a Single DIN android head unit)

I've Galaxy S7 flat. I found a TWRP file (from here), that fixed data corruption issue. I installed that TWRP file while my DATA can not mount, after installation, my DATA mounted successfully.

I searched same TWRP file for the S7 Edge that my brother uses. But i can't find. So i opened this topic for the help.

Now, i want this; is there any TWRP with the fixed data issue? I want to mount data function work without format data.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Commandox:
Add the app you want to record in, in game launcher, launch it and then open game launcher options from the status bar.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] fivetwinkle:
how about then the screen you want to record?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] UmarBurney:
The option is still available, however, the location of the toggle has been shifted to the notification bar. If you want to start recording then drop down the notification bar and then you will see the game mode toggle, after launching the game, of course.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] RATOz:
Or if you want record a specific app. Include inside of Game Launcher, this will activate Game Tools.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] rgt3rd:
My phone used to cast perfectly well before I updated to 9.0.0.168.

Now it flickers, the video gets broken up and green bands keep popping up. The bottom half of the screen is more stable.

What could be the problem?

My phone's model is CLT-L29. Here is a picture of what happens when I do wireless projection.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Spardorp:
Hey, the picture is missing!

I'm struggling with casting too. The screen mirroring via Google Home to my Chromecast used to be good.

But since the upgrade from Emui8 to Emui9 the resolution is terrible, it's blurred.

Before displaying it reports the hardware is not optimal. But heck, this is a P20 Pro so I would expect more.

Huawei support the wired or wireless display, but my Samsung LED TV is already too old to support, so I'm stuck to Chromecast, but that doesnot good.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] care4somegopher:
Hey all I reset my Galaxy Note 5 because it had been over a year and it was starting to act weird with charging and file buildup. I backed up all my photos, music, contacts and any other thing worth saving to external usb with my otg cable and shut off the phone. I booted into the menu where you gotta hold volume up, home and power to get to, and factory reset the phone. Everything is fine other than when my battery gets to 15% so have to plug it in quick, which is understandable for an older phone like mine. But one other thing is the matter. ALL of the album art for my music has been replaced by the cover of Nirvana's "Nevermind." Yes so now whenever I listen to music, I am greeted by a naked baby showing a you know what, FOR ALL MY SONGS! It's creepy! Is there something I can do from my phone to erase the album art information? I don't want to see that!

I Tried to change a port and I have the original cable.

I don't know what to do?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BluePhnx:
Is the port on phone clean?

Try another Odin version?

Which firmware you are on?

And what firmware are you trying to flash?

List the full firmware name. Eg. N950FXXU5CRK1

What firmware are you on and what firmware are you flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Einavbs1:
India last firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BluePhnx:
Then that's ur issue. You can not downgrade your bootloader version from version 5 to version 4, 3,2,1.

Can't go from N950FXXU"5"CSA3 (latest firmware) to N950FXXS"1"AQK9.

You can only flash any firmware with "5" or higher # .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Einavbs1:
My Baseband version is:

N950FXXU5CRHA

Maybe I can flash Korea last firmware?

I want join the beta and I saw only India and Korea can join the beta on Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BluePhnx:
Not going to work for the Korean one the updat.zip is for n950f not n950n.

Try this:

Download N950FXXU5SCA3 for INS using samfirm

Use the latest Odin to flash it.

Make sure that your on N950FXXU5SCA3 after flash.

Download the update.zip from the pie beta thread.

Place it on a sd card (no folders just root directory)

Reboot into recovery and update from sd card and select update.zip file.

For you to join the beta program you have to have a phone that's from India/UK/Korea and have a SIM card that's from there and be there as well. It won't work if your outside the region with a different SIM card.

I have tried to join the pie beta with my n950f XEU from UK (which beta pie is available for) but since I'm in Canada with a Canadian sim card the Samsung member app won't allow me to join because of my Canadian sim card.

So the only way to get the beta pie is to do it manually by doing the above steps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Einavbs1:
I'm outside of those countries..

And I cant find the pie beta thread

I am downloading the new zip now

[Android Apps and Games] cumulonimbus_ca:
Hi everyone,

I've just released All Clear Weather with an update to include radar. The main focus of this app is clear communication of weather data. I'm personally fed up with weather apps that just dump numbers on .the screen and make you figure it all out. The goal with All Clears is to give you text, large animations and simple numbers that help you know what the weather will be.

Also, there are NO ads! Ever! The free app is supported by an optional $1/month subscription, which expands the features from 3-days to 6-days and things like that. All base app features are free.

I'm also running multiple state-of-the-art weather forecast experiments with the app, if you decide to opt-in! One is to use photos of the sky with labels as a training dataset for a machine learning classifier: once enough training data is collected, it should be possible to automatically label weather info in photos of the sky. This could lead to the creation of a new source of useful weather data.

Another experiment is to use the barometers in phones to create a new kind of weather network. I've worked on projects like this in the past, but the science is hard and it takes time. This app is going to create 'virtual weather stations' out of local crowdsourced barometer data, where statistics will be used to extract more accurate (less error-prone) atmospheric pressure data while still protecting user location privacy. The sensor part of this app is open source on github to encourage other developers to do similar work!

Here is the play store link for All Clear Weather again, and let me know what you think!

[Honor Play Questions & Answers] xanthrax:
unfortunately, talk about "how to change / replace the IMEI are not allowed on XDA as this throws suspicions, the device might have been stolen and that`s illegal. The internet might help you more than XDA on this matter.

Recovering the IMEI after certain user`s interventions such us bad updates, modes installed whatever, it is different from replacing / changing and it is allowed and there are some tools around.

Hi everyone.

I have been looking and reading a LOT here. Even managed to take my new to me OK2 S4 I337 back to NB1 then root it and get to OK2 rooted thanks to the information I found here.:D

Problem is my S4 started out as 32GB but during the process it ended up being flashed with a 16GB PIT file to undo a soft brick.:o

I have looked and searched until I don't know where else to look for a 32GB PIT file to return it to being a 32GB phone with no luck.:crying:

If anyone has the PIT file for the 32GB S4 I337 AT&T would you please share it? I would really appreciate it.

I will take a look at the link even though it's for the AT&T s3. I can't promise anything, but if I can find the time here soon I will try it if I can understand how to do it. I'm on the MDL bootloader which is jelly bean. I hope that doesn't matter since you're on a newer bootloader.

[Huawei Mate 20 Lite Questions & Answers] ShareACoke:
So the phone has 2 front facing cameras. The 24 megapixel camera is working fine. But is the 2 megapixel one working for you? I tried covering the camera and there is no difference in portrait blur. It looks like it's just some software blur instead of a real one.
[Huawei Mate 20 Lite Questions & Answers] Diverti:
The secound one i used for the bokeh effect.
[Huawei Mate 20 Lite Questions & Answers] ShareACoke:
I know. I have enabled bokeh and covered the second camera but the background is still blurred. Also it does a really bad job identifying what's in the background and what's in the front.
[Huawei Mate 20 Lite Questions & Answers] forbidden8:
Try with covered lens on Aperture mode. You will see the difference.

Both secondary "cameras" are "depth sensors".
[Huawei Mate 20 Lite Questions & Answers] ShareACoke:
Anybody with Pie who got the depth sensor working?
[Huawei Mate 20 Lite Questions & Answers] decron04:
Second cameras are working but they are working in conjunction with software. Software utilizes the additional information that is collected from the depth cameras but it does not solely rely on that information. And if you cover it you may not be able to see any difference because thanks to machine learning the software is really good at identifying subjects from the background. There is never a real bokeh on these smartphones because of the tiny lenses and sensors that are being used in them. So you are always in need of some software trickery to achieve good blurr. Another option is to get really close to your subjects but in many cases that is not useful.
[Huawei Mate 20 Lite Questions & Answers] DJPRMF:
Both the secondary cameras, front or rear, are real. But they are only used to the boken effect most of the time.

They are used to capture the depth of a cenary, imrpoving the effect in the final version.

You probably wont notice a difference if cover the secondary sensor, but in some cases can have impact.

Most of the work isn't done by that sensor, but by the câmera software, thats why you don't see any real difference in the images.

That secondary câmera can also be used to improve the quality of some photos, for instance, in the night.

So, is a real câmera? Yes, it is.

But like in any other dual câmera smartphone, is used for some situations, not all the time.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Dan Bron:
Days ago, I had the wonderful idea of installing TWRP. I didn't want to install a custom ROM, I simply wanted TWRP + the current android. However, after I installed TWRP, the Android 8.0 was wiped out. I thought I would still keep the Android 8...

I tried to install many older versions (from April, June, July, August) of the stock ROM 8.0 via Odin, but all of them failed (as far as I learned, they failed because they had an older version than the Bootloader I had installed), then I successfully installed a stock ROM build from December.

Now, my phone doesn't pass the SafetyNet Test. It fails on "CTS profile match" (I read on the internet it is due to the unlocked Bootloader).

Interesting thing is: when I browse to "Developer Options -> OEM unlock", it says "Bootloader is already unlocked", even if the option is unset.

Now I have no TWRP (and I don't want to play with it anymore) and I have no root access.

Does anyone know how to "relock" the Bootloader or do anything that will allow me to pass the SafetyNet Test?
