Also the fact its draining 2% a minute when in use is insane :silly:

Try the beta and see if that helps.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] wangdaning:
Usually, google play services drains are related to sync. The account/google play/other google service is trying to sync but not connecting, so it just continually tries to reconnect. Try turning off sync and see if the problem goes away. It might be syncing in areas with weak signal is causing the problem.

Hi everyone, I'm new in the forum, I have a LG G4 with root and I use the "switch me" app. In the first profile I installed whatsapp then I cloned the profile. Obviously the problem is that I find the chats of broken whatsapp, when they are in profile A I find the chats received and sent in profile A, when they are in profile B I find the chats received and sent in profile B, so in the chat there is discontinuity . Is there a way to solve this problem? For example ... is it possible to make sure that all chats are kept in a container shared by the two profiles?

Please help if you have the answer

Many thanks
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] rmartinezdl:
This seems to be a lower specced lens or sensor more than software, it makes the telephoto lens useless.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Mr.Sir:
I have the same problem. To debunk some of the replies, it's not because the cat is grey. It's not because the telephoto lens is of lower quality because it's not used between 1.1-2.9X zoom where muted colors happen and what does "only 8MP" have to do with the colors.

There's definitely a software bug. Like others said, it looks good in the viewfinder but comes out almost greyscale when saving. A bug, just like the main camera being out of focus when zooming back out in video recording. Such simple bugs but still not fixed.

[General Questions and Answers] Lusty Rugnuts:
So far, the only thing in the file system that I can find that pertains to this is:

/service_contexts

#Other Services

GoogleOtaBinder u:object_r:ota_agent_service:s0

Anyone know what this is? I can pull the file to the computer in TWRP Recovery Mode, comment out that line and push it back to the phone to see if that ends the behavior. Before I do so, though, I'm going to wait until tomorrow... tonight, I've deleted the /cache/update_s.zip file, and I'm keeping internet connections down (and, for good measure, the firewall in lockdown mode), to see how Google Play Services reacts.

I'm betting it'll do this when that line is commented out:

private boolean setInstallInfo(String strPkgPath, String strTarVer) {
Xlog.i(TAG, "onSetRebootRecoveryFlag");

try {
IBinder binder = ServiceManager.getService("GoogleOtaBinder");
SystemUpdateBinder agent = SystemUpdateBinder.Stub.asInterface(binder);

if (agent == null) {
Xlog.e(TAG, "agent is null");
return false;
[General Questions and Answers] Lusty Rugnuts:
The phone did not reboot last night with update_s.zip deleted from /cache and all internet connections down.

This means Google Play Services is performing unannounced, unsolicited and unwanted remote operations upon a computer system, while disregarding the 'Settings' > 'Developer Options' > 'Automatic System Updates' being disabled, a blatant violation of CA Penal Code 502(c). Anyone up for a class-action lawsuit? :D

Google Play Services / GoogleOtaBinder doesn't query the 'Automatic System Updates' setting prior to performing its above-described operations, and I have a hard time believing this was just an oversight on the part of Google... it would seem far more likely (given that they're a multi-billion dollar company which hires highly competent programmers, given that they have a financial incentive to regain deleted apps or retracted permissions which a knowledgeable user might delete / retract, given the unannounced nature of the operations they're attempting, given the midnight time at which they're attempting to perform those operations) that the bypassing of the 'Automatic System Updates' setting is quite intentional as means of Google surreptitiously regaining apps deleted or permissions retracted so they can continue to gather personal data via the phone.

Tonight I'm disabling the registration of the service context for GoogleOtaBinder... let's see what kind of fits Google Play Services throws. :silly:

{EDIT}

Hrmph... /service_contexts is written to during boot to register Google's service contexts... I'm going to have to dig a bit deeper to permanently disable GoogleOtaBinder.

Until then, I'm renaming /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip so GoogleOtaBinder cannot communicate with the OTA update server.

There remains the nagging questions:

- Why does Google's OTA system updater disregard user settings which disable automatic system updates?

- Why does Google reboot the phone unannounced?

- Why does Google reboot the phone unannounced, at midnight, when the phone is least likely to be monitored?

- Why does Google dynamically write GoogleOtaBinder into /service_contexts at boot, rather than hard-coding it in so it can easily be commented out, thereby disabling Google OTA updates?

- Why doesn't Google provide a user-interface-accessible means of turning off Google OTA updates?
[General Questions and Answers] Lusty Rugnuts:
Well, that did the trick. Renaming /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip so GoogleOtaBinder cannot communicate with the OTA update server does away with Google Play Services' attempts at forcing a system update.

Now to dig into the files and figure out where they're writing to /service_contexts from during boot. I'm going to pull every bit of the Google-weed out by the roots that I can.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] grox:
I updated TWRP my Oneplus 6 to the latest 3.0.0.0 version. I am on Beta 16.

I installed the ZIP in the old TWRP and it installed itself on partition A and B.

When I rebooted the phone I get an error with; device corrupted and only option is to press power.

When I do this it starts to TWRP or I get the same error message again.

How to solve this? I need the files on my phone....

I read somewhere to extract the boot.img file from a full ota package and flash this in TWRP. Is this correct?

I already downloaded the OTA package but in this zip there is no boot.img....Can anybody give me a link?

Hi;

I was looking for a good media player for my HTC Trinity WM5 based Pocket PC. Someone advised TCMP which I downloaded and installed, it plays one of the files but the whole screen becomes very distorted and is in the most unwatchable.

The file is an mpeg1 file.

I just did a search on Google and it says its compatible with MP3, WMA, WAV, AC-3, ASF, AMR, Ogg Vorbis, DivX, XviD, MPEG1, MPEG4-SP, WMV, AVI.

Its should play fine but it is very tempermental TCMP is also discontinued.

I also have an mpg2 file that i`d like to play, any ideas on an alternative.

coreplayer is the comercial followup to the discontinued TCMP

As far as i know the TCPMP is also available as freeware ... it changed the name to Beta Player: http://betaplayer.com/

But, there arent any news about a release of this player :( Still waiting for a long long time ...
[General Topics] Rudegar:
first it was named betaplayer then they changed it to TCMP

then they made a commercial version called coreplayer

no new development have been don to the old one since that i know of

and if they changed the name back to the original one that too is news to me
[General Topics] JonnyAlpha:
I've fixed my problem, I did another search in these forums and found a guide on installing TCPMP there is a second .cab which I had not seen before, the player now works flawlessly.

I'll run the Bassfix again and see how it goes.

The only complaint I don't like about Core Player is: it does not support sub titles. So I still have TCPMP installed so I can watch movies with srt subtitles.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
There is NO trial version of CP. If you're referring to the 1.1.1 Coreplayer.CAB file posted by some people on the XDA-Devs forums, it's a cracked, pirated copy.

Please also report occurrences of people posting this CAB file. It is a pirate copy and posting it should be sanctioned.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Yeah, sure, the same I say. Nevertheless, it's still way above everyting else particularly when it comes to video playback efficiency and compatibility. That is, it can be safely purchased even w/o trying it first - as long as you don't want to play back an unsupported format (e.g., RMVB) or don't want unsupported features like subtitles.

Oops, sorry I was referring to that copy and didn´t know was pirate...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gibson295:
have an old nexus 4 i wanted to try fixing a few issues with so i could keep using it as a backup phone.

It likes to sometimes not wake up from stand by. i'll go to use it and the screen won't wake up and it is hard to get to reboot but eventually does then works fine for a bit then repeat. Sometimes even when the battery is fully charged i could go to sleep one night wake up in the morning and it's like it just randomally shut down and is sometimes hard to start other times not, but always has to fresh boot.

not sure what the issue is.

i have re flashed OEM roms in the past to try and fix the issue, and ofc it just updates to 5.1.1

>< all help appreciated.

I read somewhere that this may be issue with internal memory, but I'm not sure about it.

Had same issue running on stock 5.1.1 or something like this. Shut downs, reboot, frozen screen, don´t wake up, start problems, networking complete breakdowns.......installed Lineage 15.1 official and no such issues so far.

So it might be Android related.

So best thing, unlock bootloader by Nexustoolkit, flash latest custom recovery TWRP (you have to flash an older version first, if not having TWRP allready) and then install Lineage 15.1 official. Use instructions provided by XDA. It might be dropped, but it runs great.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SethGeckoXDA:
It depends on your custom rom and device.

In official versions of LineageOS, Android security patches get merged regularly. This means, vulnerabilities like the ones mentioned in the linked article get fixed over time if you update your LineageOS every now and then. But there are also potential vulnerabilities hidden in proprietary OnePlus components. These cannot be fixed by any custom rom and rely on updates from the manufacturer.
