[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MYEUHD:
There are 2 three-button-combinations on this phone:

Volume down & Home & Power ---> Download Mode

Volume up & Home & Power ---> Recovery Mode

Are you sure that you have the Samsung drivers installed and that the phone is in download mode?

This is normal, download mode is only used for flashing through Heimdall/Odin.

Help plz!

The Skype app doesn't start the video at all. The receiver sees a blank screen! On the latest build and latest Skype App!

Both the cameras are working fine independently.

But on Skype, it just won't work.

Here's what I have done so far to make it work:

1. Check the App permissions

2. (Within Skype app) Default Camera under Audio/Video settings

3. Camera Settings - Check which app will use this service

Am I missing something?

Thanks a ton!

Anyone had any luck having ARCore applications run on the Mi 9? I could install it but trying to use it inside of an app (Pokemon GO) causes the app to freeze with a black screen.

EDIT:

After following Mr. cd993's guide to installing the MIUI EU ROM last night, I was successfully able to sideload and use ARCore without any apps crashing. I believe this might be down to the fact that the EU ROM has enabled the 'camera2' api? Unsure, but it works

The guide I followed is below, with the added step of downloading the ARCore application from apkmirror —

To clarify the game works fine – but trying to utalise the 'AR+' functionality (taking photos of Pokemon in AR) after installing the ARCore.apk myself, causes the game to freeze.

I know this device is not officially supported by ARCore but was hoping there might be a way to get it working anyway.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] xeDroidz:
Hello,

I am interested in the Mi 9 and want to buy it.

The bad news is, that Lineage just started to support the Mi 8 version, so Mi 9 support will take 1 year, too maybe.

I read all threads here, but I dont see any users who are interested in a ROM without Google.

Can someone tell me if there are other ROMs without Google which will maybe support the Mi 9 in the future?

And one question to the Google users: Why do you use ROMs with Google?

Thanks! :eek:
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] brathaneq:
hi!

Room without google is chinese MIUI ;)

I personally use google ROMs, as I use some of their services, mail, calendar, youtube to name a few
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] mr-mauro:
Well, the device came out two weeks ago and - not as usually Xiaomi do - has already the sources out too (usually they come out around 6 months later)!

So, a ROM like Lineage (unofficial) will probably come from the dev community very soon when someone with the right skills will invest some of his/her time (and then we will have to thank that person massively :P).

Anyway if you ahve already the bootloader unlocked, you can try with some of the Treble ROMs (https://xdaforums.com/project-treble)... It can be that some of them works already, even if with some bugs :) If I remember right phhusson bought a Mi9 too (am I wrong?)! So probably Phh-Treble ROM should sooner or later work for the Mi9 :)

P.S. MIUI China is without Google but with so much more bloat :)

P.P.S. Well, I like Android for its integration with the Google ecosystem that I use widely in my real life (like probably most of the users... Gmail, Maps, Calendar, Youtube, etc...). If probably I wouldn't have needed it, I would have look to some of the other (few) OS alternatives in the market :)

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] EniGmA1987:
Why use a ROM with Google services in it?

Because Gmail is one of the better free email services out there. Google Music is far better than Spotify. Games saves my progress when I change to a new phone. Contact sync is extremely easy when it is saved to your gmail anyway. Play Store is the best app store on Android by far. Google's customized news feed lets me stay updated on things far easier than visiting other sites individually or manually setting up new feeds with third party apps that also take your data anyway. Google Photos+Drive is a great way to easily and automatically save your photos and sync them to new phones and without even taking up extra space on your new phone because they are really still in the cloud. Calendar is fine simply because it comes with the rest of the apps and dont have to bother with going and finding a third party app.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] xeDroidz:
You forget one thing: It is Google.

I understand people who want to use Google, because they are rich and enough capacities to develope the best UIs.

I understand that some of you don't care about the data you leaves - but please don't forget that a monopoly is not good in any case, and we are talking about a monopoly with huge financial interest.

And yes, Google services are very good, but just the UI. The thing behind is just bad - they are a way better alternative services.

Keep in mind, that there are so many Android phones and on most of them is running a Google service, a monopoly with financial interest.

It is your decision if you stay with Google or not. But someone who care about the future and about his data should go away from Google.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] EniGmA1987:
lol. So you can give your data instead to all the other 3rd party companies who want to eak out every Dollar they can since they have so fewer users? Nothing is different except Google, Apple, MS, Amazon has to maintain far more responsibility. By handing your data to unknown persons from various smaller companies you have no idea whether your data is being used responsibly or not or even if it is safegaurded well (which it isnt). At least with Google or Apple you know exactly what it is used for and where it is stored (which in the case of Apple, it is stored with Google anyway).
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] xeDroidz:
GMail is not open source for example. Why should I trust a closed source more then a open source service?

And I prefer services where I pay with my money and not with my data. And the monopoly fact is still there.

I know it is not easy to prevent all data leaks, but it is possible to 99%.

At the moment it is not easy, because there are so much money interested companys, which will collect your data.

For example: Why do you use WhatsApp, when you are using eMail? This make no sense, because eMail is decentral and WhatsApp not.

So you suceed to use a decentral message service like eMail, but failed to do the same with your IM.

The french goverment understand this, thats why they switched to an good new IM open source protocol.

But is is your decision. You need to understand the whole thing. I can't decide it for you.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] The Dutchman:
Then you shouldn't be using a Xiaomi phone with MIUI, read their Privacy Policy. Miui even has you accept different

privacy policies and user agreements for different BUILT-IN apps. It's ridiculous.

More on point; mostly every android based custom ROMs have you install Open GApps to use Google functions,

so simply don't do this. When setting up your device don't sign in with a google account. Then root your phone and

strip any leftover (if any, I'm not sure) packages from your device. I think this is the most non-Google you will get.

LineageOS would be the go-to ROM for you (and me).

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Predyeth:
At the moment the s8 screen repair costs £219 via Samsung and I find it to be a bit too steep for a three year old model.

Now that the s10 is out, I speculate that the price should drop soon as the s8 has become another generation older.

I couldn't find any details on when the price usually drops .

I wonder if anyone could give me some advice re this.

I'm also thinking of abandoning Samsung and their Apple ways, in favour of either OnePlus or a chinese brand maybe.

The thing is, that I'm perfectly happy with my S8, apart from the broken screen. I wasn't planning on upgrading until the arrival of the next gen batteries but fate had different plans for me it seems.

Any advice would be welcome.

Buy you a bad one online such as hardbricked frp locked or at worst black listed and fixx it yourself. They are not bad to fix. And if I'm not mistaken aftermarket screen prices have dropped a bit.

On Gmail with other phones, I could set a personnalised sound for a new mail, like we can do for a SMS or phone-call.

But here i can't anymore, all the guides I found describe an option where you can select a file, but I just have sound on/off without any possibility to change it, and it's default notification sound, so i can't change it because i don't want this particuliar sound for every notifications...

Am i clear in what I say ?

Do you know if it's MIUI which has changed this option ?

Hi again,

Solution to the problem.

I was setting up my Unit on my desk, using a 12V 2amp power adaptor.

The problem was the power.

Once I installed the unit on the car battery the touch issues went away.

It seems that the unit needs full battery power for correct setup.
[Android Head-Units] _yuzo_:
How to update firmware on the device (without changing android version)

I know at least 3 methods how to do that :) Use USB Stick or SD card with FAT32 filesystem for android 8 or USB Stick ONLY for android 9.

1.

- put the firmware (kupdate.zip + update2.bin if you want to upgrade MCU) directly to USB stick or SD card,

- insert it while the unit is running,

- click OK once suggestion to update appears.

2. The same as 1, but the last point is to start update from system settings

3. Use it, if you have a brick (bootloop)

- put the firmware (kupdate.zip + update2.bin if you want to upgrade MCU) directly to USB stick or SD card with FAT32 filesystem for android 8 or ONLY USB Stick for android 9.

- power off the device, insert USB stick or SD card for android 8 or ONLY USB Stick for android 9.

- press and hold power button and power on unit by switching on ACC in your car or enable power +12V on both red and yellow wire in case you doing that on the table. On some units use reset button instead.

- once the update is started, release the button.

WARNING! Firmware update will remove all your personal data and settings on the device!

If you observe the error like "header and footer of kupdate.zip does not correspond signature", just try to upgrade form another USB stick/SD card.

Upgrade from Android 8 to Andriod 9 (Using disassembling method)

For now it is needed to DISASSEMBLE the unit for upgrade! These actions are on your own responsibility!!!

0. You will need Windows PC/Laptop/Tablet for this procedure, please refer to guide from Chinese engineers here.

1. Install drivers from this archive

2. Short circuit the resistor to ground (there is a picture in guide)

3. Power on the unit

4. Connect USB (use Type-A male to Type-A male cable).

5. Flash the Android 9 data from this archive

6. Disconnect USB and power. Then power on the unit.

7. Enjoy

After these steps you'll be able to install any android 9 from this thread. It is needed to disassemble the unit only once.

A few videos for the reference are there and there.

Upgrade from Android 8 to 9 WITHOUT disassembling.

ALL YOUR ACTIONS ARE YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY!!! Nobody will send you a new core board in case of the failure! At least will not do that free of charge!

0. All needed files are there.

1. To perform the upgrade we need:

- Strong desire to do that and be ready to purchase a new core board in case of total failure (~100$);

- micro SD card slot in your unit. If the unit vendor gives details regarding the units without SD cards, I'll update this post;

- USB stick (up to 16GB, to avoid possible problems) formatted in fat32;

- micro SD card (again, please use not so big);

2. Put the following things on USB stick:

- MCU firmware that suits your device. I.e. update2.bin from the first message in thread with DSP or not depending on your unit)

- Android 9 firmware from the first message. kupdate.zip, Again: Andriod 9!!!

3. Do NOT plug USB stick to the unit for now, let`s make bootable SD card;

4. On Windows PC run SDDiskTool and create bootable SD card. The manual inside of the archive, with the details, so I see to reasons to repeat it there. update.img from the archive is used there ~350Mb;

5. Install "Android 8 upgrade 9.apk" into the unit, run it, click only the button in this application. The unit becomes a brick (temporary, till a success on step 9) - You will see only a black screen and lights on the buttons;

6. Put SD card into a units slot, disconnect battery terminal of your car or power off the unit in some other way. Both red and yellow wires of unit should not have +12V on them !!!

7. connect battery terminal.

8. The unit is upgraded for the first time. Take a video of the process!!! Just in case if you fail and it will be needed to troubleshoot that. On this step you should see TWO errors of formatting metadata. YES, there should be TWO errors!! and formatting error for system.

Video of attempt.

The final screenshot.

9. Disconnect and connect battery terminal one more time. The unit upgrades from SD card one more time Take a video of the process,just in case. this time there should be no errors with metadata and system!!! The last string should be "Doing Actions succeeded".

Video of 2nd attempt.

The final screenshot.

10. Disconnect battery terminal, REMOVE SD card from unit, plug USB stick prepared on step 2.

11. Connect battery terminal and the unit will complete the upgrade to Android 9.

12. Once the upgrade from USB stick is done, the unit start running Android 9. All further upgrades will be done from USB stick without any additional actions

Video of installing the firmware from USB Stick.

13. FORMAT SD card on your PC, do not use it in unit until it is formatted, just to be safe.
