It is clear your goal is to defend a bunch of Chinese companies known for handing data over to the Chinese government.

The fact that you are purposely trying to portray me in a specific way to fit your narrow-minded view instead of being concerned about how and where data goes (and for the record, I care about where my data goes in general, but most people around here are already well aware of where data for companies like Google and Apple goes, but not for an app like this) is frankly ridiculous.

If you don't care about this (which you clearly do not), then kindly leave this thread and don't return. I posted this thread to let people who despise Tencent and their business practices know about AirDroid's involvement, and to see if anyone had more information. I did NOT post this thread for you to come along and defend Tencent's honour. Enough garbage companies already do that, and they've added as much to the discussion of privacy as you have (i.e. absolutely nothing of value).
[AirDroid] doggydog2:
Great concerns, for sure. Thanks for your input.

I tried the app, quickly isolating it from the WAN, and running with Xprivacy of course. Luckily, HTTPS local connection only is possible. I wouldn't sign up in this type of app and i wouldnt use the barcode reader to connect to WAN. Rendered LAN web app contacts chinese servers on the PC, but reviewing content it looked fine in a quick check.

The app seems chinese, it's giving me one notification bar in chinese, and rest of translations are chinglish. I don't say it's neccessarily wrong, i just want to know if this is an open source app to trust it. Otherwise, i will keep running it in strict LAN mode.

Now about the functionality, I like Synology/Windows like UI. So cool!

Contacts/Call log/messages/ringtones/apps work.

Mirroring and Camera worked once. There's some strange checkbox "Don't show again" to click on (?) in Mirroring settings which doesn't work. Update: Camera worked again once switching back to HTTP.

Files/Music/Pictures/Videos don't work at all, even the android app cannot see files. No clue why.

Notifications are shown again on HTTP, however they're not displayed by the browser AND they simply disappear later. No actions also. So unless you 're currently in the tab, you won't notice anything.

I struggle to find a use case for this.

* Mirroring isn't interactive - so together with Camera it's a very infrequent function to use. I'd rather have an interactive mirroring like MobilEdit (if i remember correctly), what a great app it was. Or a Dex type of desktop where you can really interact with the android.

* Messages is showing "SMS", which is something obsolete for me, using alt messenger with secure repository (not the standard unsafe android one). SMS and calls are dead to me long time ago, but i'd have been happy about possibility to reply a decade ago, definitely!

* The last resort is notifications, that'd save some time if implemented well, with history. But it's not.

* One more thing on my mind is ability to send APK to phone, ok.. but it's again a rare task, i wouldn't run this background service for this purpose if i can send the APK via bluetooth...

I look for an app that let me get rid of USB cable for sharing photos or musik between PC and phone.

Sorry if I didn't understood the whole elaboration, but isn't this not just a point to point connection? I wouldn't like that others have access to it.

Or is it about other services?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gastonone:
Hello dear people!

I am actually looking for how to use a smartphone (LG V30 in my case) as a music player only.

So I would want to have installed the 'best' sounding audiophile app and have everything else, everything not audio related removed from the phone.

Would you be able to point in the right direction? Or even have a step by step guide..?

I am 100% new to this matter, so I already got totally lost on this site when I searched before. I have no idea what everything means (every sentance has 3 or 4 words I dont understand..), so even when I would able to find the right thread, I don't understand at all what people are talking about.

I am an audiophile and I chose the LG V30 because it has 4 dac chips (digital to analog converter) and should have the capability to sound very, very good.

I would appreciate your or anybody else's help in this greatly.

Sound quality with music is my passion!

Sincerely looking forward to all clear and directional responses!

Gaston
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MirceaViP:
In any case ... the best sounding audio player (having tested a lot of them - I also am an audiophile) is AIMP . I use it for my laptop and also for my smartphone. The Stereo separation on the V30 is not that great (tested in 2018) but maybe they improved that with software updates. I am looking to buy yet another pair of headphones - having bought JBL and JVC and Philips and Sennheiser + many more in the past. I have my eyes on Sony XB50AP (not taking any chances). May I ask what are you using? Thanks.

[Huawei Mate 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] vervester:
Last night the combination of a few beers while being sat in my hot tub ended with the inevitability of my Mate 20 slipping through my fingers to a depth of about 30cm before I managed to fish it out!

It had a black Spigen case on if that makes any difference. I turned it off (it was still working) took the case off and dried it as best I could.

Well... Turned it back on this morning (my alarm turned it back in). I'm happy to say, everything works as it should, no issues, as far as I can tell, sensors, sound, screen and charges as it should.

The mate 20 has an ip54 rating which suggests it's splash proof, I did find a website that had given it a 1min under the tap test which it survived without damage.

So, in summary.. it's good to know if your phone does ever find itself briefly submerged under water, chances are it will survive without too much drama.

Anyone else had a similar experience?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Rubisko:
Can someone verify that there is no NFC in A705F model?

If so, is it a hardware or firmware thing? I mean, is the A705F device has no NFC sensor in it, or is there a firmware I can flash (like from A705FN model) to make it work?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] HKShooter:
It's a hardware issue. The phone must have a NFC chip in order to use it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] macgyver40:
From all the vids I watched it didn't look like a very polished feature. I don't see how moving my entire hand is better then a small movement of my finger on the screen. Then I see the 10 as a downgrade even compared to the note 8. The 10+ lost to many useful features for useless ones.

I think the only software features I would want would be the screen recorder. I already use game launcher to semi make that possible in apps.

Either way I can see a lot of software features will eventually make there way to the note9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] grtmoby:
Please can you advice which features are lost, I don't want to be surprised or shocked.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KingVekxin:
personally the whole exhibition of the phone itself talked me out of wanting it. Everything about it is gimmicky at best, not a really needed upgrade for me from my N9. not the cameras, pen, battery. nothing screams buy me. So im waiting for the N11 maybe thatll wow me, if not then the N12 maybe
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] macgyver40:
I know the heart rate sensor, headphone jack, dedicated power button ( it's now power/bixby) that's it for the 10+ now the 10 has a lot more, no SD slot lower resolution screen, 256 storage ( I have the 512 note9) battery. That's off the top of my head.

Maybe the root time has come... note 10 doesn't deserve. The upgrade from note 8 to 9 was nice, but to note 9 to 10... blah...

I really liked the new display but nothing else. I'm really disappointed with note 9 camera and the note 10 camera seems to be the same... so this time is for waiting... or maybe get the tab 6...

Let's wait for firmware updates, maybe we could get something interesting from our big brother.

Does the new Note10 allow single and double press re-mapping of the Bixby/power button, similar to how it works on the Note9?

Personally if you own a Note 9 there is no reason to upgrade to any of the Note 10s. Unless your device is starting to fail.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] _GRIZZLY_:
I don't have reason to buy Note 10/+. Note 10 is step back compare to Note 9. Like someone wrote- deleted led notification (very useful), jack, heart rate sensor, iris scanner, force touch to wake up?, less battery in standard version Note 10. Next colors- no midnight blue, and only standard black, white and mirror silver isn't step forward. I want 2 level colors like for example in Note 5- titanium silver, platinum gold, sapphire black. Newer isn't always better.

I bought N9 8/512 in november 2018 and now i know that it was good decision. Now I wait for N11 or Pixel 4/5.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
the color of a phone should never be a selling point. moreover if it is, it means you dont use protection(case) so even if it comes in the color you want the risk of it breaking, will effectively render it unusable in some way or form and then color is even more irrelevant.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] _GRIZZLY_:
Of course, color it's not selling point but it's hard to difficult that palette of new models are poor.

Colors are only one of disadvantages from my previous reply.

It's similar to buy a new car and his color usually is important, more or less but important.

From Note 5 and 9 I use transparent case. Every new samsung models are boring small bezels, black front and so only back is different.

For me Note 7 in blue coral was nice phone, even today.

---------- Post added at 04:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 AM ----------

i dont think people shrink wrap their cars to sun proof or ding proof em. but at a very high percentage, people do put cases on their phones. thats one of the 1st things sales people ask when you purchase a device: would you like a case with that?

( transparent cases kind of take the wow factor and details away aswell. not to mention majority are cheap flexible tpu that dont offer that much protection over standard more rugged cases.) so might as well disregard phone color and get a case that probably comes in more colors than the limited range the phone comes in anyways. but i did see some nice transparent luphie cases if i may play the devils advocate against my own case...( bad pun)

Since you've updated the modem to pie, you won't get your baseband back until another pie modem comes along that is compatible or actually for TMO. TMO isn't releasing pie for the Z2F, so you're out of luck at the moment if/or until a suitable modem comes along. Who knows?

Hello dear XDA peeps xD

I was a proud owner of Sony Z3C, but it's touchscreen and audio jack died, so after some research I switched to Note 5 Whyred.

I enjoy amateur photography - I read that the sensors in this phone are good, and I think they are yet I can't control shutter speed?

I plan on unlocking the bootloader in about 7 days, so I wanted to prepare in the meantime.

So my main question(s) would be : Is there a good rom for light use that benefits multimedia such as photography/video recording, while retaining or improving battery life? I am not a gamer anymore xD And is there any app/rom/anything that can help me with advanced camera controls (I plan on enabling Camera2API, but I would like shutter speed control and exposure time).

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Radimus:
Is there some reason that no chef has released a ROM with some of the popular apps bundled in.

I'm not asking for warez as all my apps are licensed properly, but with SPB apps being as popular as they are and so many other ROMs preloaded with the freeware HTC apps I'd think that someone would have cooked a ROM with PhoneSuite, MobileShell, and PocketPlus built in.

All we'd need to do is import our preferences and register it with our own valid licence keys (no warez) and then install any of our other apps via UC.

I currently use LITE ROMs and install via UC now, but most people say that cooked in apps are faster/use less space.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Koterpillar:
The commercial apps' licenses prohibit that, don't they?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mck062002:
It will always be ok if it is a trial version then its up to the users to register it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Koterpillar:
Read licenses carefully, and you'll be amazed of what you can't do. (Just checked with Spb license - see chapter 4.)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kingsizeriz:
to be honest many people only use freeware apps.

so cooking in shareware applications would be abit crap as after 10 days? trial you have a useless application that you cannot uninstall...

Exactly what I thought. Better to just install and config yourself
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ai6908:
they are all junk, i dont want no damn commercial software in my precious cooked ROM's
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
Besides, versions change and once an app is cooked in you can't uninstall it or upgrade without wasting more memory on your device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Radimus:
PocketPlus hasn't been upgraded in 6 months or so

PhoneSuite just went to 1.3

MobileShell just went to 2.1

and ROM flashers probably flash every few weeks or months... otherwise UC wouldn't be as big of a benefit as it is.

Many chefs make full and lite versions of their ROMs because they know some people want to be free to install what they want without the HTC freeware crap or want to have all that HTC stuff built in without installing it. I'm fairly certain that many of the poeple that use Lite ROMs do so because they want to use these SPB apps (or others) without wasting the space the HTC apps would be taking while not being used...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
And then you have to depend on the Rom Chef to update the app in the Rom.

The whole point of Lite Roms (I mean truly Lite as in .Net CF & Office Removed also) is that software does change over time and even user prefs change (I used to live in PocketBreeze but haven't installed it in over 2 months as I've got Ultimate Launch working very well).

I flashed ULM-PIE with chiperase mode,then I lose my IMEI and S/N

It is not a big problem.all the data is in the FTM,

I just need adb shell - su - and dd of to sdcard

then modified the ftm.img with ultra edit ,

finally,dd of the img back. done

But when I actually did it, I found that the location of S/N wasn't the same as that of V30,

IMEI's location is 00e00040h~50h,start at 5

so where is the S/N:confused:

(of course you can change IMEI with SVC tools :mid info)

[LG V35 Questions & Answers] blekr:
I did exactly the same as you did, i used chiperase and I lost my IMEI and my S / N, fortunately I managed to recover my S / N but my IMEI not. What positions of FTM.bin did you edit to restore your IMEI?

Edit1: I just saw you put the information. I will try to restore the IMEI.

Edit2: edit the file in the block position you indicated, reboot my device and my IMEI is "0".

To verify that the FTM file was copied correctly, I extracted it again from the phone memory and to my surprise, the block where the IMEI number is found is again at "0".

Do you have any idea what might be going on?

Could you please put the entire command to read and write the FTM?

[LG V35 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I know what Chip Erase for. I don't need to go to a Russian hacking forum. ;) If that site has so much information, go ask them. Why you coming to XDA for help?

As I said in my warning, you mess with it then you get someone else to help you.

My post was to warn others not to do what you did. Many people get into LGUP and just start pressing buttons. Unless you know how to recover from your disaster don't touch Chip Erase.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] blekr:
You do not own XDA sir, you cannot tell me not to come here to make an inquiry. I sent you to another forum because apparently your knowledge is limited to simply saying not to use chiperase to avoid losing the IMEI. On the other hand, assuming that you know more than I why you advise me not to use a warmer is very daring of you. And no, not only is chiperase used for 2 things.

In XDA I have read several comments of yours and I see that you like to start discussions for obvious reasons. When you ask a question, I don't understand why someone has to answer with another question "why did you do it?", Does that solve the problem? I clarify that the subject of this publication is of interest to me, why do you come here to tell me to go somewhere else to ask?

Sorry, but I don't know what it is. At no time am I promoting piracy, I clarify it because that word came out of your mouth.
