[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] QuintusDias:
Hi,

My fiancé was very happy with her Xiaomi Mi A2 until last week when it was basically bricked by the bootloop bug after an update.

We got our money back from the retailer so now we are in the market again for a new phone. However, she doesn't like any other phone.

What are the chances that a new Mi A2 will be bricked again by a future update? Is it safe to order a new one? Or should I convince her to buy something else?

Thanks for your reply,

Kind regards,

QD
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Ulver:
Did you have the 4/64 or 6/128 version that bricked?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] QuintusDias:
I had the 4/64 version.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] MIN313:
which update exactly ?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] QuintusDias:
Not sure about the exact build number but it was a security update in march, after the PIE update.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] kwaxi:
I had the bootloop issue, too. Update from stock Android 8 to Android 9 worked well, but second update to April 2019 security update failed and ended in a bootloop. Thank's to A/B update, see https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ess-updates-affect-custom-development-on-xda/, the phone managed to boot the old firmware after some failed retries. Finally a manually initiated update worked.

My perception is, that updating immediately after a previous update might cause a race condition in the update. After the first boot in the new firmware some post boot processes are running (cleanup?) - running an update in parallel might cause the issue.

Xiaomi support suggested a hard reset; power + volume-up, main menu, wipe data

Luckily this wasn't necessary.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Caboose27:
I've been wracking my brain over this one. When I install new apps, they aren't sorted in alphabetical order, they're just thrown on the end of a list. When I uninstall apps, the blank space stays there until I manually tell it to sort things alphabetically. I've never seen this on an Android phone, but there must be an option for things to be sorted automatically. It seems quite frankly dumb that they would remove that feature and relegate it to a 3rd party app instead.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] caligood3:
Noticed this too you just have to manually do it also I can't figure out how to take a app out of a folder & add it to the menu
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] phillymade:
If you are using Home without app tray, long press on any open area and when you see the red X next to the icon, you can move the apps in and out of folders at will. When you are done, hit home. If you are using Home with an app tray, open app tray, hit the three dot menu in the top right and select Arrange Apps, and move apps a will, when completed, hi the check mark in the top right and your good to go. :good:
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] caligood3:
Man thanks a lot idk if I would've figured that out on my own lol LG's software although it doesn't bother me it could be way more stream lined
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Caboose27:
Still no auto arrange though huh?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] phillymade:
Unfortunately not
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] DrivenKeys:
There's a lot of complaining about this. I see it both ways, and think auto-arrange should be an option, not default behavior.

I've spent the last week slowly installing apps and arranging my home screen. I do a lot of multitasking, and having the last installed app at the end really helped me find that app I just installed an hour ago before I got that phone call, whose name I forgot and am very happy it's not automatically burried with the rest.

My workflow has been to install the app, then drag it into the most appropriate home screen folder. It's really nice to quickly check the end of the drawer for non-alphabetical new additions, drag them to the correct folders, then finally manually toggle the re-sorting. Once I check the end of the drawer and see it's alphabetical, I know I'm totally organized.

Everybody's different. This is one 'bug' that I kinda prefer.

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] ew:
I am considering the purchase of an X4 and wanted to check on something before I purchase. I searched, but didn't find a definitive answer.

Regarding the different versions, my understanding is that the Amazon version can't be bootloader unlocked nor can a custom rom be installed on it.

How about the Android One (payton_fi) version. It appears that it can be bootloader unlocked.

What about twrp - is there a separate flavor of that (or can the regular payton version be used)?

What about ROMs - is an Android One (payton_fi) specific version needed or can any payton rom be used?

I hope my question is clear and thank you in advance for assistance on this.

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] MotoX4Custom:
Basically, all Moto X4 devices are the same. Most Android One variants would need to be unlocked. I can not say that because I do not live in the sales area of ​​the Android One variants (Germany). But as long as the bootloader can be unlocked you can also install everything. There are no extra versions. The only thing that is different is something with VoLTE but most of the ROM developers are looking for it and if it does not work then you can write to them and most of them are so nice to provide an update or a workaround.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kesselaprod:
Hey guys,

I want to enable https on my sm-g900f for my local developer environment, so I created my own self signed root CA certificate. With this cert I sign my local server certificates.

Everything works fine on my desktop devices but not on my android mobile phone.

If I create a rootCA.crt file and convert it to binary .DER type, I'm able to install it on my phone via Settings / Security / Credential storage / Install from storage. HTTPs works now in all browsers and I can see that the cert has been addedd successfully to the Settings > Security > Trusted Credentials > User store. But then I get the "your network may be monitored" warning.

In order to get rid of it I followed the steps described in this thread. The only difference was that my user certs location is /data/misc/user/0/cacerts-added.

After gaining root access and moving the cert via ADB to /system/etc/security/cacerts/ (including chmod and chown) the warning disappeared and I can see that my rootCA is enabled under Trusted Credentials > System*.

As soon as I remove the beforehand added rootCA under Trusted Credentials > User, the warning disappears but https is not working anymore. Chromium gives me this:

[IMG="chrome ca cert android openssl warning certificate missing net:err unexpected"]https://i.stack.imgur.com/HnFfE.png[/IMG]

Anyone know why my phone/android shows this behaviour?

*(for experts only: also wondering why system/etc/security/cacerts are being displayed as plain ascii text with full cert info although android requires binary format for CA cert?)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kesselaprod:
For those interested I'm sharing the solution:

Here's what I did to solve this:

(1) flashing my sm-g900f with odin v3.12.4-4 and latest twrp 3.3.0-0-klte

(2) backup relevant data, wipe system/cache/... with twrp afterwards

(3) flash 16.0-nightly-klte addonsu-16.0-arm open_gapps-arm-9.0-nano-20190428

(4) install certificate via security settings options. Shown as 'user cert' but no warning message and ssl works now :)

I want to know what can I do with project treble? Can I install AOSP?

What can I do with root? From what I have seen some people install xposed modules?

Anything I should look into installing in xposed?

What about Magisk? What can I do with it? Aren't there some magisk modules?

Hello everybody, I was thinking update the radio of my car, is a Toyota Avensis T25, year 2004. The radio I was thinking buy because is suitable for the car (image bellow). It brings TDA7851 MOSFET and for Antena controller is NXP6686 (I think the Manufacturer is (Chinese) Philps).

The Sound of radio is good or bad? The output sound is horrible with TDA?

no android 8.0 unit supports 4G natively as data connection. Even their own dongles are hotspot connection only.

there are some dongles that work but 3G only.

8.1 apparently they do support 3G/4G, some even have built-in sim card slots for direct data connection.

but those are px30 units as far as i know, not px5

Stop wasting your time with 4G Dongles.

[MTCD Hardware Development] 96carboard:
NXP Semiconductor (formerly Philips Semiconductor) is a DUTCH company.

Not Chinese

.

These are OK radio receivers. They used to be impossible to deal with, but they're not half bad now that the programming manual has leaked out. Sound is decent, however, reception could be better. I suspect that the reception issues are more due to the chinese module that they are installed in than the receiver itself.

The TDA7851 is from STMicroelectronics, Dutch registered, Swiss headquartered.

Note that both of these components are things you would find in OEM and **mainstream** aftermarket car radios.

But be aware that there is a lot more to a good quality sound than just having a couple of components that are good by themselves. Like a chain, its only as strong as its weakest link. So like i said, put a crummy RF circuit on a TEF6686, and the reception will be less than stellar. Put a crummy analog audio mixer in front of the TDA7851 or too small of a capacitor, and your sound quality will suffer.

I have a problem with booting this rom (not only this actually). On TWRP 3.3.0.0 I've wiped everything (even with with format data, where you have to write "yes"), later I'm flashing rom and opengapps (latest). Flashing procedure is going fine without errors. I'm rebooting the phone and carbon boot logo appears. Rom loads for 7-8 minutes (or maybe more) and nothing happens. The same situation is with latest Arrow-OS and Ressurection Remix from 2nd April. Boot animation appears and stays like this for 7-8 minutes and rom is not loading. Before wipes I had latest xiaomi.eu beta in regard of firmware and vendor.

Go to COMM MANAGER, you will see a speaker there. If the speaker is ON you're in trouble LOL, just turn it off whenever you need absolute silence :). Best advice, while in school, turn off your phone and attend to class!
[HTC Tornado] djsleepwalker:
Strange... I'm using Gnat's 6.1 and when the keypad is locked (via holding the End Call button), the volume buttons take the phone out of standby but they don't alter the volume at all. The only key that does anything is the left soft key, aka the Unlock key when in locked mode. The volume buttons and the soft keys/home key/back key all turn the screen back on but don't function at all otherwise, until the phone is unlocked.

Are you using a different keypad lock program or something? Or are you also holding the End Call button to lock the keypad?
[HTC Tornado] ditikh:
Mine alter the sound while the phone is locked - yes, it's bug.

I don't know how to fix that either, but I'm sure somebody on here does. Should be simple for somebody who is familiar with phone's registry.
[HTC Tornado] myrol:
OK . If anyone is working on it (registry fix) please post here results. By the way : in my school everyone have phones turned on, and silenced.
[HTC Tornado] markanthonypr:
I don't understand what is your main issue. Is it MUTE the phone, then just turn off the sound. Edit your "silence" profile and make sure you have sounds turned off when you are in "Silence" mode. No mater where your side button points the volume to, Silence profile will determine if there will be sound or not. But you need to EDIT the profile and set it acordingly. The issue with the bottons, is something that will mostlikely be taken care of when a final WM6.1 comes out. For now, all there is are experimental test roms.
[HTC Tornado] Osmos:
The same problem. It is still possible to adjust volume while keypad is locked :mad:
[HTC Tornado] djsleepwalker:
I'm still very confused by all this. I don't have this problem. I put the phone in Vibrate mode, lock my keypad, let the screen go black, then press the volume buttons. The screen comes on but the volume is unchanged, no matter how many times I press the buttons.
