[Samsung Gear S3] Youdoofus:
is there a way to have the default screen be the music player control screen when the watch wakes and music is playing? ive had this watch now for 17 months and its driving me nuts. I dont play music terribly often, maybe once a day for about an hour or so, but i had flashed android wear on my old gear 2 neo and it had that baked into the tarball. Anyone been able to get something like this working on the S3 Frontier or any of the S3 variants?
[Samsung Gear S3] [Cruzer]:
From what I've seen so far no. But there are multiple ways to get to the player. Watch face with shortcut to music, quick setting pull down "playing" green bars only shows when playing.. click that will take you to music, a permanent quick setting icon, or make a music widget be the first widget when you swipe left. Hope that helps

Hi

I have asked in my device forum but got no reply. The L1 has root through using magisk but has no recovery, custom roms or custom kernels. I have rooted and can mount system as rw, but some files are blank when opened and cannot be edited. Also, if I try to enable init.d through any app, it is removed on reboot and the system files are returned to default and all changes lost. Is there any way I can remove this to make the system writable?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Did you install the Magisk app root manager and grant superuser permissions to the apps you are using to modify your files?

Do you have your SELinux policy set to "permissive" mode? If it is set to enforcing, that would explain why you are losing init.d at reboot. If you need a way to enable permissive mode, you can use the SELinux Switch app.
[General Questions and Answers] brezzz:
Hi mate, thanks for your reply. Yes I have granted root to everything I need to, including my file manager. I've used the app mentioned and set permissive mode but changes still do not stick. Everything is still reset on reboot. Could it be the kernel enforcing something else?

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Is permissive mode persisting after reboot?
[General Questions and Answers] brezzz:
It seems to be, but there is no real way or checking as it's not listed in my "about phone" section. But when I go back into the app, it shows permissive selected
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You should see a notification in the status bar when the phone boots, this notification will tell you that permissive is working.
[General Questions and Answers] brezzz:
It says permissive command sent to device
[General Questions and Answers] brezzz:
Selinux is now set to permissive but the issue is still there so it's not selinux causing the issue. Any other ideas anyone? Could it be some sort of encryption?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Lol, my next question would have been to ask if you had your device encrypted.
[General Questions and Answers] brezzz:
LOL great minds. Its hard to say because of no recovery. Its strange because some areas can't be read or changed like proc/sys but I can still edit build.prop and the changes stick.
[General Questions and Answers] brezzz:
Although I have just checked and it would appear I am encrypted, which would explain a lot. I've no idea how to change this setting.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That is strange, if you can edit build.prop and the changes stick, it should stand to reason that modding other system files should also work.

Maybe it's a permissions thing? Have you checked which permissions have been granted to your various apps?

Yer I thought it strange as well. Its as if part of my system is different to the other. Thinking about encryption, wouldn't thay just encrypt my user partition?

It would be hard for me to say, I'm not familiar with Xperia devices specifically.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Is your device one of the devices with A/B partitions?
[General Questions and Answers] brezzz:
No it's an old style single partition layout. I used to pc companion to wipe but the kernel encrypted on first boot I think. It's as if the system files are reset to some sort of default on reboot but only certain areas are affected.

For anybody that stumbles upon this, I was able to make /system writable by disabling forceencrypt and dm-verity in my kernel. Init.d now sticks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] quordandis:
Hi all - anyone else experience broken wifi calling? Had to reset network settings (Settings>General Management>Reset>Network Settings) and put in a new SIM - and nothing. Am I the only one?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cyberspectre:
Hi everyone.

I bought a V20 T-Mobile version H918 on eBay. Seller claims it's carrier unlocked. As a precaution, I bought a $10 Red Pocket prepaid SIM card to test it with (because my current phone is CDMA). First, I tested it with Red Pocket's "GSMA" sim card, which uses AT&T's network. When using this SIM, the phone mostly didn't work. Out of 30 tries, I was only able to make a phone call once. All other times, I got no dial tone. And I wasn't able to receive data at all. APN settings were correct, verified with Red Pocket customer service; also tried many other APNs I found on google, but they made no difference.

Next, after doing a factory reset, I tried Red Pocket's "GSMT" SIM card, which uses T-Mobile's network. When using this SIM, all services including calling, texting, mms, and data work perfectly. Although, despite it working, the phone is using the wrong APN (fast.t-mobile.com). This seems to be a hard default setting, and the phone doesn't allow me to select a different APN while this SIM card is inserted.

Red Pocket tells me that an unlocked phone should work fine with either the "GSMA" or the "GSMT" card. So, their advice, together with the fact that the phone isn't letting me change the APN when on T-Mobile's network, leads me to believe it might not be unlocked. How can I know for sure?

Note: IMEI registers as clean in the database. Also, the IMEI in settings, the one shown by dialing *#06#, and the one on the sticker all match.

Thanks!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
If it was locked, I don't think it would have accepted the ATT sim at all. You can try playing around with the Device unlock app, but on the first screen it seems to pretty much always claim its locked for me

On my (pretty sure its unlocked, havn't stuck another sim in it almost since I got it months ago)

H918 that's running on a T-Mobile (proper, not mvno) sim I can freely add and switch between APNs

Keep in mind that the H918 isn't going to be good on ATT's network.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cyberspectre:
Thanks for the reply. You're saying if it were still locked, it would give an error message with the AT&T SIM?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
right, if it were locked, you wouldn't even get 1/30 phone calls to work, you'd get like invalid sim or something. Locked means it wouldn't even try to use the other sim.

Happend to find a video of someone with a simlocked h918 unlocking it, it shows networked locked where the carrier name goes.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Rockdry:
Hello guys, I have in my hands a Xiaomi Mi A2 with the famous bootloop, and the bootloader locked.

The phone does not enter in recovery mode, only enter in fastboot mode, and if you force with the two test pin in the motherboard in EDL mode.

I tried and tried to flash the last official rom in the phone, the "jasmine_global_images_V10.0.2.0.PDIMIFJ_20181206.0000.00_9.0_02b8deeb6d"

The first error I had during the flashing in MIflash was the "mismatching image and device"..., I modify the SH, Bat files with the notepad, erasing some lines to avoid this problem.

And after put the phone in EDL mode, (I think is in EDL mode, because the flashing starts... but the screen of the phone is not in black... is with the fastboot logo or the androidone logo...)

I have this error, the "flash bluetooth a error" and the process stop....

I also tried in CMD console, to unlock the bootloader, and all the times said that FAIL, because the device is locked.... I tried too with some bat archives I found in youtube videos, but never appears the menu in the phone for unlock the bootloader...

The same thing occurs when I tried to install the TWRP recovery, the flashing FAIL, because the device is locked...

I tried to flash by CMD and fastboot one by one images, putting the commands...but again, impossible the device is locked....

I tried the commands fastboot flashing unlock...... ....... remote: flashing unlock is not allowed

another one... fastboot oem edl.... the device is still locked....

etc....

I dont know what to do more.... any suggestion please¿?

And other doubt the model that appear in the back of the phone is M1804D2SG, It is the jasmine model right¿? was the android pure installed in the phone...

I dont think that is a wayne construction right?

thanks guys
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] SidCounter:
Its not in EDL mode

The only way to put it in EDL is to open it up so your screen should be black as it wont even be connected to the phone. :) (it is possible to have it connected in edl but pointless and would be in the way.)

To open the phone you will need a pentalobe small screwdriver, also you will need to cut glue around the edges of the phone, so I would recommend a suction cup plus some plastic spanners.

Onec its open you need to take the 3 screws out from the top of the battery to remove the metal hinge holding the screen cable. Then you can remove the screen so it wont be in your way, you need to disconnect the battery as well and an other cable next to it because the EDL points ar underneath.

Now for the tricky part, you need your pc on and the usb cable ready, pluged in to your pc. you need to short the two points with something metal eg. tweezers and while the two pint is connected you need to enter the usb cable.

Its tricky but if you done it right it will show up with a different name in MiFlash and you will be able to flash.

Let me nkow if you have any other question I done this yesterday. To find the points just google around for a picture or a video.

Bro¡ I love you¡¡ thanks so much¡¡ I did, my fault was exactly that, I wasnt´t in EDL mode... thanks again, PROBLEM SOLVED¡

Hello,

Since the past 3 weeks I have not been able to use my phone as an actual phone.

Anytime any kind of application (Calling, Google, WhatsApp, asistent ..) that tries to access the Microphone the phone immediately powers off.

Yes, just like a short circuit complete power off. I have to press the power button again to start the phone.

I have done at least 5 full re-installations using different ROM's[1] but at the end I am still facing the same issue, I have even tried installing different combinations of firmwares[2]..

Right now I am running v10.2.2.0.PEDCNXM (Stable)

Is anyone else also facing this issue?

Does anyone have any advice how I could track down what is causing this issue?

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cave_diver:
As most of you will know, Xiaomi decided to change the shape of the notch after the phone was announced.

As a result the first presentations and a lot of the marketing material show the phone with the older U-shaped notch, whereas it is now shipped with a modified (through software) V-shaped notch.

What are your thoughts about all this?

To me the old U-shaped version looks much nicer and it would have been cool if Xiaomi had made the notch type configurable.

I also wonder what chances might be to change the notch shape once custom ROM's are available.

A Facebook app doesn't fill al the orizzontal space but leave two "bars" on the side, my is the the images are on full large size with lateral pieces cut, so for every image if I want to see it completely I have to open it.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BudokaiZ:
Hi guys,

I've been using custom roms for years and had never got any big problem but here's the thing.

And I'm now using CarHDRom v.24 from 3 months ago on an S8+ (Pie).

I tried to uninstall magisk with TWRP because I couldn't connect back to my snapchat account with magiskhide activated (even with magiskhide). I had done it a couple of months ago and didn't saw any problem in doing it. I uninstalled magisk and everything was ok. But then, my phone booted into download mode. I thook it was weird but just canceled (by pressing VOLUME DOWN + POWER for 7 seconds as it was written on the screen). After the reboot, it turned once again into Downloading mode, and ones again, and ones again,... I can't even power off the phone if it has batery.

So I tried a few options.

First, I loaded back the "BL" file with odin, which allowed a big step : To use TWRP.

So installed magisk.zip back, but kept getting the "error 1" which never appeared before.

After rebooting the phone and deleting dalvik/cache => Once again, it booted in download mode.

So I tried to install magisk-uninstaller once again => Same fail

I tried then to download back my CarHDROM v.24 but got the error : creating symlink : some symlinks failed

What could I do to boot my phone like before? I'm I forced to wipe my data to get it back working? Thank you very much for your time :victory:

NB : I don't send screenshots because they haven't got any utility here and because I can't acces to the phone outside TWRP and Downloading mode.

Hello.

How do you guys rate the sound quality taken by a filmed video or a call, does the Mic sounds good enough for this device?

Btw, what about Bluetooth or Speaker, are all well playing or is there a lil inconsistency in lac of bad output?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] megadust:
How's the sound quality using wired earphone? I plan to upgrade from G6 with quad DAC but I'm afraid with the sound quality.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] jerry855202:
I went from HTC 10 to this phone, the difference is definitely there

The included adapter is an analog one (meaning no DAC, just wiring from phone's internal audio dac)

I wouldn't say it's *bad* per se, it's just the most generic solution by qualcomm implemented. No fancy stuff.

However they did implement it good enough to be used by most ppl, but it's probably coming up short by audiophile standard.

The sound is flat, damp, and just a bit loose in my personal opinion. It just somehow got just a bit of sound stage in there though so that's arguably a plus.

I ended up with an external DAC by moshi as daily driver.

So if you're expecting the internal DAC to be as good as some high-end smartphone, probably not. However if you're mostly using it for web video / streaming, and can accept the sound is just damp, it's good enough.

P.S. You're going to use an typc-c to 3.5 mm adapter anyways, so just get a decent adapter (moshi adapter on the cheap side, audiolab p-dac on the higher end side), and call it a day.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] megadust:
thanks for your explanation!

I expect the sound quality at least to be on par with my old S6 (which is a bit lower than G6). I tried my friend's new mi9 and I found it so dull and lack of everything (I'm only using low end cans 1more triple driver).

Do you find moshi DAC is on par with G6 (or maybe HTC 10)?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] jerry855202:
Well if you're using e1001, that's definitely good enough to hear the difference TBH. The integrated stuff is flat at best, but I'd call it pale (and damp).

And yeah, the moshi dac has been working out pretty well for me, I'm mostly in for the 3yr warranty but the sound is at least on par, if not more than HTC 10 in my opinion. To be fair HTC did a nice job on their audio on 10 so that's saying something.

But I mean, for $25 on a 24/192 audio adapter I'm happy with what I have. (It also works on PC, but I think most external DAC does.)

If you want something more close to sony A-series walkman quality, you'll probably have to check p-dac.

Also, mandatory:

* audio is a very personal experience, these are my personal experience and preference, you should probably try before you buy and shop around. *
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] megadust:
I see. Where did you buy the moshi dac for $25? Is it usable while charging the phone?
