[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] slowz2secret:
Hello guys, I have a big question here,

As you may know, red magic 3 do not have its own screen recording, so you will need to use app with that crappy sound via mic or root it to install a bunch of things to can use internal audio, but i don't want that, i want to stream and record gameplays with very good audio and good video quality, the question is the next: will the capture card elgato HD60s works with this phone? i mean, i can use an HDMI splitter to can use usb type c to hdmi and bypass the block thing but i'm not sure, maybe someone knows more about this, will this phone be able to send audio via the usb type-c port?
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Virago5x35:
I'm having the same problem. I have tried many usb type c cables and hdmi output, but I could not project the image to a single screen. How can I solve this problem?
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] itsurkd:
I think its worst Gaming Phone now....who has no support hdmi output
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] slowz2secret:
True.. I just will buy a new phone because that, since i like to stream sometimes
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
This is a valid concern. Oneplus 6 had no USB to HDMI. I din't care, but some people might.

Does this phone actually have USB to HDMI hardware?
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] slowz2secret:
Nope as they told me in the chat some days ago in facebook messenger
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] leipnacht:
Your phone seems on Global ROM. CN rom has a built-in screenrecorder that can record internal sound.

You have an option to flash your phone to CN rom.

I haven't tried using capture card or USB-C to HDMI.

I have a CN Rom Nubia Red Magic 3, but when I stream to youtube, fb live, i use Android screen mirror with OBS

This video taught me how to do it.

Even the global ROM has internal screen recorder now. On the 1.16 or 2.10 version.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] fgar82:
Hi everyone...

Wondering anyone left wear os and got samsung galaxy watch ? I have the Huwaie 2 and saw the galaxy active has blood pressure but didn't like the design cos if I hit it there is nothing to protect it. Love the galaxy watch but wanted to know if it too can measure blood pressure and case not any future updates enable it or it's not capable??

And case it will never get it any advantage to switch?

Thanks a lot all ..
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] gcarmagnani:
Not blood pressure , only bpm.... to measure blood pressure GW needs another type of sensor....which is too big for a watch
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] fgar82:
!

The samsung galaxy active has blood presure and the galaxy s10 and s10 plus have them too...

Was wondering if galaxy watch has it too or only active !
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Tel864:
Only the Galaxy Active. The hardware wouldn't be there on the Galaxy watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] fgar82:
Thnx.. sad cos didn't like the active it's not bad but there is nothing to protect the screen if u hit it .. and the galaxy watch very nice one but I'll wait then for galaxy watch 2 ...
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] FOBKai99:
As the title goes, does anyone know if the dual sim version allows for using 2 sims + a memory card at the same time, or does the memory card take up a sim card slot? Thanks!
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] slow23:
It does use the SD tray.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] jeoleo7:
No you cannot use 2SIM + SD.

Its 1SD+1SIM or 1SIM+1SIM.

:p
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] rascallu:
As far as I know there was an sim extension that can be stuck to the back of the SD card, and out of the tray for the cards, at the very end there is a cradle for another sim card. They used to sell It on lazzada or AliExpress and worked in old note 8. I did. But I don't have the extension now, and can not try.

Anyone did?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Driacas:
So my friend just gave me his old Tmobile S4 SGH-M919 running Android 4.4.4 Baseband M919UVUFOK3. The problem is that Wifi and bluetooth will not turn on. I've tried all the basic stuff like taking the battery out and wiping the phone. I even tried flashing earlier 4.4.4 versions onto it and nada. I read something about flashing a modem.bin file onto it, but every thread i've found doesnt have the file link anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh I do have a Mac Address but no sim card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Driacas:
To those who might be reading, I popped my battery out with phone on while unrooted. The wifi came back after reboot. Then I rooted. Now the Wifi is doing the same problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Maxybasultofdez:
Hello i have a samsung galaxy s4 sch i545 and was rooted before but few days ago to install a new app for my work, i update the software and lose the root

Now i can not connect wi fi :(

I was searching options but till now has been imposible root my phone

Could you help me ?

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] StoneyJSG:
You can root with the PC program "wonder share go pro" OR you can download and use the king root app on the phone. You might also benefit from reading my guide here:

[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers] Vinayakn73:
Guys as we know redmi 3s is officially out of xiaomi's miui 11 update list. So is it possible to port roms with miui 11 ui. will we see any android 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 roms running on redmi 3s with miui 11 in future?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers] harshitsharma03082005:
Well, this depends on ROM developers. If android pie can be ported from Pixel, then im sure that MIUI 11 could also be ported from other Xiaomi phones.

Hope for the best, Prepare for the worst.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers] glavinstone:
I don't see that happening, development for land is almost dead apart from a few ROMs most of them are already abandoned.

Lineage OS for the HP TOUCHAD is back

This is an early stage alpha build; not all features are working well at the moment.

In the beginning, I would like to thank:

@ Lineage OS team,

Contributors:

@ elginsk8r

@ HP_TOUCHPAD

@ flintman

@ andr01dfr3ak

@ Austcool Walker

and anyone else who made this happen

INSTRUCTIONS

It is STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing and please avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup as this can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug.

If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience any strange behavior.

How to flash:

(Again: Don't do it if you don't know it!)

1. Download the ROM and GApps and transfer them to your device.
2. Boot to recovery (TWRP recommended).
3. Wipe the System, Cache, Data and ART/Dalvik cache.
4. Flash the ROM Zip file.
5. Flash the GApps (optional, needed for e.g. Google Play store to work).
6. Flash the root solution of your choice (optional).
7. Reboot your device.

ISSUES

[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] carlos9545:
Hi there, i could use some help here, i unlocked bootloader recently and were able to install Openkirin Roms (8.0) , and EMUI 9, i had no issues at all besides of No compile nunber, id face unlock, and no notch options,

then i wanted to try OpenKirin roms for emui 9, (i think it would work with emui 9.1, wich is the Version i were, and thats might be my mistake) so i got bootloop , and the phone is bricked.

So i try to go to Fastboot mode so i can reinstall my rom. but there is no way to access to it.

While the phone is off, i press VOL DOWN while i connect the USB cable nothing happens.

So i though eRecovery may save the day, but it doesnt recognise the files i pasted in Dload folder (with emui 8.0). is there a way to get the firmware 9.0 files but the one that works with erecovery. (by the way my erecovery is the one of emui 9 it has white background)

ane-lx3C521.

----

After a couple hours later, i waited for my phone to fully charge 100%, then in Erecovery options you choose SHUTDOWN, and then like always , press volume down while connect USB cable

and fastboot mode comes on screen.

The phone shouldnt be BATTERY LOW (wich percentage i dont know.) . Thats all , not a big deal.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] player98343:
My phone throttles within 15 mins. whenever i play moba on my phone, is this normal on this phone? this is my first xiaomi phone so i dont know if this is normal. Is it safe to say that sd 660 can't handle moba games well? or the problem is on the miui optimization?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] aron11195:
flash evira 1.9 and use LKT magisk module and set it to turbo little to no throttling at all even with my 40°c + room temperature.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] player98343:
will i still receive OTA once i unlock and root my phone?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] aron11195:
cant say for sure, but if you really like miui and wanna stay on it i'd recommend flashing xiaomi.eu its pretty much the better version of miui.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] player98343:
I kinda like miui and this is my first xiaomi phone and im not still familiar with flashing on this device. Because i bricked a phone before on the 2nd week of purchase lol, anyways thanks for answering my question.

edit: is evira kernel compatible with miui?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] aron11195:
im currently on xiaomi.eu with evira kernel, and it is compatible with miui
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] player98343:
I was about to unlock my bootloader but I have to wait for 168 hours lol that's 7 days. Sorry to ask but unlocking xiaomi devices needs to take some time? Im new to this xiaomi thingy so bear with me :D but yeah, I'm kinda getting to used to this.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] aron11195:
yup, ur lucky that you only got a week some got 2 weeks waiting time or a month. and do note that unlocking bootloader resets ur phone deleting all your files and apps.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] player98343:
Oh, I see. I came from devices that instantly gives bootloader code and devices that are pretty easy to unlock. Thanks, man.

GAPPS: DOWNLOAD GAPPS

First time installing crDroid to your Redmi Note 4, or coming from another ROM:

** Make sure you're running a proper working Recovery (CWM or TWRP)

1) Copy crDroid zip & gapps zip to your device

2) Boot into Recovery

3) Wipe cache, system, & data (or just cache & system for a dirty flash).

4) Flash ROM

8) Flash gapps

9) Boot up

For root, AFTER you boot into the ROM, you can go back to recovery and install Magisk XX.x (whatever is most recent).

Upgrading from earlier version of crDroid:

The only difference between clean flash as above and upgrading is you just wipe system & cache, leaving data. Everything else is the same. ***Remember to always clean flash before reporting problems. Clean flashing is always the best method of ROM install.

t-mobile dash & 3g

i've heard that t-mobile is releasing the 3g network in NYC today & 20 other markets later this year. i was wondering if the t-mobile dash was 3g capable?
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
Nope. Unfortunately it isn't.
[HTC Excalibur] mjpuczko:
of course it's not! shoot.
[HTC Excalibur] Crusher16:
Nope, no 3G for Dash. But even then, 3G is only going to be for voice when it is first started on TMobile.
[HTC Excalibur] sonus:
3G only for voice? That makes no sense. 3G is used for data, and GSM is used for voice as far as I understand it in current implementations. At least that's the way, I understand my Touch Cruise is operating on AT&T's network. And if that wasn't the case, my Touch Cruise would have an atrocius talk time.
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
My question is: when T-Mo rolls out 3G, will the data plan increase from $19.99 to something else? I've read up on the 3G rollout--but not much. So I haven't run across anything talking about a possible spike in price. Though unfavorable, it would seem like a logical move for T-Mo. They currently offer the least expensive data plan vs. the "Big Three", but they also happen to be the only carrier NOT offering 3G support.
[HTC Excalibur] megaxp:
my previous phone was a nokia E61 with no camera and it was 3g compatible.. as it used ofr fatser sreaming and data downloads.:D
[HTC Excalibur] vetius:
I expect data rates to increase slightly with 3G on T-Mobile. They'll probably make it the same, or slightly less, than AT&T/Verizon.

The Shadow II is supposed to be one of the first WinMo 3G devices to hit T-Mobile.
[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
TMO has already started it's 3g roll out in New York city, TMO will setup a total of 25 markets this year 2008 with rest of TMO'S markets coming in next year. Get all the facts here http://www.tmonews.com

I Got The Word From TMO

The 3g device that I want from TMO will be released 9/1/08 per TMO, yeah! Anybody know when 16GB SDHC Card will be hitting the streets, I might have start out with 8GB SDHC Card. This is what blowing my mind, and the word is that TMO'S 3g will be faster than the current AT&T'S 3g. I thought all 3g speed was the same, I guess it's not. Can anybody explain what is {TX} on 3g devices...........!:D
[HTC Excalibur] nlarge:
My understanding is that Tmos 3g will be 7.2mps where others are 3.6mps... so double the speed. They will also be on 1700mhz band which is currently used for government security stuff(reason why they are slowly rolling it out is it needs to be vacated first). tHING THAT SUCKS ABOUT THAT IS THAT WE WILL BE STUCK WITH TMOBILE CHOICE OF PHONES. Although hopefully they will make their phones worthwhile at that point. I know everyone is going crazy about the blackberry they are gonna have

The Ultimate Speed, 624 MHz Processor On A Smartphone

You are talking about the BlacKBerry 9000 Bold 3g, wifi, new updated media player, 2.0 MP camera, 128MB flash memory, 1GB built in memory, 8/16GB SDHC Card slot, 624 MHz processor. I got a Dell Axim X51v with a 624 MHz Processor running Lenny's latest 6.1 beta 5 ROM, I call it my UFO device, because it has UFO speeds.

[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
The Diamond Is A Beautiful Devices, BUT!

It's a touch screen device with 4GB of built in memory, it has no room (slot) for a expansion micro SD/SDHC Card slot. So the Diamond is a no go with me. The BlackBerry Bold 9000 was on that list also, now that's the device I'm waiting for, coming soon, my next smartphone toy..............!:D
[HTC Excalibur] tlogix:
You guys in the USA and Europe are lucky. Here in Canada, although highspeed internet is available on our cell phones, the data rates offered by the operators just kill it. Paying 40$ for a whooping 8 MB per month, anyone interested?

$25 4 MB $10/MB if over limit

$40 8 MB $7/MB if over limit

$60 30 MB $7/MB if over limit

$80 500 MB $3/MB if over limit

$100 1 GB $1/MB if over limit
[HTC Excalibur] Se7eN43:
what???? no card slot in the diamond??? why the hell would htc do this??? this better be the cheaper version. thanks for the info Tech, i was eyeballin that phone like a lot of others. this is the saddest news about the diamond.
[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
Yeah, No Card Slot On The Diamond, But 4GB Built In Memory!

I believe the Diamond will be the Shadow III coming to T-Mobile in a few months, but the Diamond has some cool features...........!:D
[HTC Excalibur] Se7eN43:
yes everthing is great about the diamond and it is the shadowIII, but the lack of a memory expansion slot is just a huge downfalll for a multimedia phone. htc should have used an 8gig instead. maybe then this downfall wouldnt be so bad. but yea this must be some sort of sale technique.
