Follow up to my problem of the macOS mojave inspired stock dynamic wallpaper not working, I used file explorer in ADB tools to browse system folder and there is only a 3.5MB video there for dynamic wallpaper. The other 10 video files that correspond to different time of day are missing so I'm assuming that's why it doesn't work. You can find those files from Mi9 online. Obviously I can't copy them back because my phone isn't rooted. It's really dumb the ROM is incomplete like this.

To check you can use ADB/fastboot tools and browse to system->media->dynamic video

[General Questions and Answers] thecarolina1:
I recently purchased an Amazon unlocked Moto G7 and had it activated on MetroPCS.

My older Moto E5 Plus, a Virgin Mobile variant, has the boot loader unlocked, TWRP installed, a stock Sprint rom installed, and has been rooted, confirmed with Root Checker. I would like to pay this phone forward, but Virgin and Boost have such restrictive rules for BYOD. I entered the IMEID in the Metro site and it said it would work, but could not verify if it is unlocked.

Would I have to flash a different rom or would taking this phone to Metro or any other non Sprint carrier be impossible?

I purchased a generic 10" tablet on ebay said to have android v8. I bought it for my kid

When it arrived 1st thing I did is try to install google family link for kids (req Android 5+)

It failed, Kodi install failed.

When I went into Soft version it's said android 8.1 when I clicked the version 10 times the K popped up.

It must be android v4 spoofed to show 8.1.

This generic tablet is useless to me, it has a MediaTek Chip MTK6797 or so it says (don't know what to believe now)

Any way I can get a new update on this to at least give me android 5.

Is the MTK6797 capable of anything above android 4? What determine what android can be installed? I'm thinking this cpu can handle something about 4.44 but I'm not sure what rom I would need that would work this this.

This is a very generic tablet I purchased a similar looking on fro Telscast and it was fine that is why i bought another, it looked identical but not a telcast and from a different supplier .

Thank You,

if you payed with paypal, you can ask the total refund. which is a much better option than keep that tablet.

The hardware for which an Android version can be installed is defined by Android Compatibility Definition Document. A board will only be able to run an Android version perfectly if it supports the basic requirements listed in Android CDD.

Of course, you can port a higher version to a board that does not meet the criteria but it would be totally mind draining work.

[Amazfit] jhonniewalk:
Hi all Amazfit Stratos 2 users,

I think the heart rate sensor on my Amazfit Stratos 2 is not working properly.

When I look on the back, it looks like the sensor as 4 small sensor lights. 2 on top and 2 on the bottom.

On my Stratos, when the heart rate sensor is on at the moment I only get one green light. The readings are vey pour and sometimes during sports it simply doesn't read correctly, it gives me 70bpm when it should be around 140bpm.

So my questions are:

How many green lights does the sensor have?

How many lights should be working?

Is my sensor faulty?

Best regards,

Johnnie
[Amazfit] lfom:
1. Stratos 2 doesn't exist

2. There are two green lights, one at each side

3. Both are one when reading HR

Is there anyone else encountering the same issue with me?

I realize my proximity was not working when the screen wont turn off during the call when using the earpiece. I did went into the CIT and performed the proximity sensor test and the proximity sensor seems not even reacting.

Is there any chances that it could be the tempered glass screen protector affecting the sensor to work normally? I found that the phone is eventually something they called it "Virtual Proximity Sensor" so i kinda clueless on fixing this.:confused::confused:

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Shetous:
I face the same problem
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Windroid-user:
The proximity sensor seems to be located on the top right (next to earpiece) literally invisible to at least my eyes. Make sure you have no bubbles in that area from screen protector install and if there's a smudge from your fingerprint it might block the sensor thinking it is placed near your ear. So clean it if it doesn't work properly. Maybe screen protectors with black borders like the Nillkin one require 100% accuracy when applying them?

I do have a line all the way around my phone where my screen protector has and will not stick to the phone.

Can't comment on plastic screen protectors.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Giorno Giovanna:
I have the same issue on my MI9T Pro. Tested with CIT (4 times click on kernel version appear this tool to check the hardware). First time the sensor worked fine (5.0 to 0.0), second time it was stuck on 0.0

Then I reboot the phone and it has fixed by itself, but this is a recurrent issue, I couldn't solve. Someone knows the real solution?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Bvalky:
I have the same problem , i don t know if is a software problem , i think is more a hardware problem . The sensor worked fine ( i think ) until i installed a temperd glass . When i put the glass " perfect " the sensor not worked ...then i moved the glass down , and is working , but not 100 % . In call i must find a position , an in my pocket not seek to work . I use a Wozinsky Super Tough for Xiaomi Mi 9T & Mi 9T Pro, Full Screen, Full Glue.

For me screen protection is very important , and i make thia compromise for now . I Hope to find a better temperd glass !

Screen protector

I have the same issue. I have a tempered glass with black frame too. The proximity sensor doesn't work when the glass is on. It is a really strange issue.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Cowboy_Henk:
I have the same issue. I have a Xiaomi mi 9t pro and my proximity and light sensor don't work (same component)

But I have a theory. Like many I have installed a tempered glass previously but I removed it some weeks ago because of a crack. But I didn't replace it with a new one.

But who else used the (included) oil to remove the halo effect around the screen protector?

I used it but I think some oil seeped in the speaker grill and this maybe gives errors on the contacts of the proximity and light sensor!? The sensor is nearby the speaker grill.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] StefanBuljic:
I have the same problem... Have phone about a month, I've put glass the same day I bought the phone... Does anyone know where is the problem?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Windroid-user:
All i can tell you all is how to apply these screen protectors, because at the end of the day it is NOT a hardware issue. (sure, maybe a hardware flaw when using it with an accessory such as a protector)

The best method imo is to use tape or the sticky stickers that should come with the pack, so you end up creating a hinge that should always "close" at the same exact spot when you "open and close it".

Only then should you continue to peel of the film after thoroughly but gently wiping off the dust and marks especially near the proximity sensor. Make sure the phone is "naked" and that you do this in the least dusty environment. Do not waste any time after peeling off the sticker but do not rush and risk messing up the allignment. It should be an even gap/space all the way round of the phone. If you feel like you did everything right and it still doesn't work then next time move the screen protectors ever so slightly downwards.

Refer to my first post on the first page to see my phone's screen protector installed. Guess I can take some clearer pictures and show you. Have used the phone with three cases and zero problems apart from smudging the sensor with my ear a few times.

Hi,

I have a generic Kaiser with a vodafone sim card.

I had the sky by mobile remote record java application installed and running perfectly under the Jbed version supplied with the rom. I have just upgraded to the latest offical 6.1 rom, which seems to have updated the Jbed version to the latest, which unfortunately has stopped my remote record application from running.

I know this is a known issue, and I have downloaded a version from this site which works, the trouble is it seems to replace my newer version.

I would like to keep the new version and run the old version specifically for this application, is this possible? Effectively I will have two versions of jbed installed or available. I have installed the older version to the sd card performed a hard reset which restroed the new version, then tried running the older exe from the sd card. This did not work!

Any ideas or suggestions would be great!

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mates,

I have 1789-06 variant with unlocked bootloader.

I installed the pie version via flashall, all were OK.

but upon rebooting the splash screen prompted for "verity mode is set to disabled".

no matter what I tried, all failed - the phone reboots to the fastboot screen.

then I was wondering BP Tools mode where on the screen it was showing "disabled".

somehow I enabled and attempted to reboot - the screen went total black!

is there anything that can revive the phone?

thanks in advance for the support.

cheers.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
Connect to your pc and simply try holding the pwr btn for a minute to see if it will boot, if not, try holding vol dwn + pwr for a minute to see if that will boot it. Listen and look to see if your pc is detecting the phone at all while you try. Also you can check your device manager to see if it is showing there.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] beefytr:
thanks bro for the prompt response.

however, no connection, no booting, no sound of device connection to the PC.

what can be the next mate?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
Unfortunately, the black screen has been a bit of a fiasco with pie updates, especially for those who have tried pie on variants not intended for the firmware. No solution has been found yet, but I haven't heard of it happening by enabling bp tools. Connect to a 2.0 port and double check your device manager. Look for unknown devices, hs usb 9008, and try various button combos while trying to power and watch your device manager for new devices. In short you might be SOL, but if you're lucky and your pc recognizes the phone you might be able to blankflash.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] beefytr:
ok thanks.

actually, my phone was set to get the OTA.

the OTA s'mpy did not install without any reason saying "something went wrong".

anyways, the strange thing is that all happened after the BP tools thing.

I will see what I can do with USB 2.0.

this whole thing does not seem to be a brick, right?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
Actually it kind of does. On oreo, it seemed the worst that would happen is you would soft birck. Basically a black screen but the phone would connect to the pc as a 9008 device and you could blankflash your way back to good. Since pie, something is happening and the exact reason hasn't been pinpointed. Usually it's those who have tried to flash pie for a variant it wasn't intended for. Some have lost their baseband and are still waiting for a solution to that, and a couple have full on bricked. At least there hasn't been any sign of life nor a way to do anything about it. Granted the bp tools thing is weird, but maybe a dav will pick up on this and maybe understand just what is happening and what is causing it.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] beefytr:
we'll wait and see!

thanks.

by the way, how do you "blankflash"? just in case...
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] beefytr:
All the best mate.

Thanks.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] beefytr:
what if what you advise does not work at all?

then it is a dead one?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
Yeah, the whole blankflash hinges on the fact that it is already in edl mode, but considering your circumstance, it is most likely dead like the few others. As of now there is no known way to revive them besides a jtag (untested and not confirmed) and you would need to tear your phone down to even try that, which isn't a viable option for most. Sorry I can't offer anything more.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] beefytr:
thanks bro.

I will not bother for JTAG as it is - as you have rightfully said - untested.

my phone is still under warranty and I will try a replacement or a refund then.

cheers.

Is there other vr headset that will work with any android device and note 10+. Any recomandations?

The question was is there any other vr headset that works with all android phone including note 10+
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sawdoctor:
The oculus software will be missing from the note 10+. The note 10+ is a similar size to note 8+ note 9 so should fit in the gear vr headset. To make it work you'll need a custom kernel with the added drivers, slightly modded services.jar and the relevant apks added. It shouldn't be too complicated but will mean rooting the device and losing warranty
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
My guess is the sales of the Gear VR were not high enough to warrant developing a new headset to fit the Note 10/+, or the money it takes to develop the software.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Belimawr:
VR sales of the actual more useful headsets have been fairly low, chances are they have just hit the point they have stopped seeing the value in releasing a new version due to low sales.

most firms are pulling back on VR. seems they are just going the way of the majority. unfortunately if you feel this is one of the most important features chances are you are just in an unlucky minority.

will it not work with google cardboard thought most devices did.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] wilbur4321:
The problem I'm seeing is that most cardboard-like devices are not physically big enough for the note 10+.... the 10+ is a tiny bit wider than the note 8 and a tiny bit longer than the note 9. Also, would the lenses cut off a good part of the display?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Considering most apps block off that section of the screen whether we want them to or not, I doubt that is why.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] siggystyle:
Yeah, but the real dilemma would be with the hardware (Gear VR Physical size and dimension of the distance between center-eyes and the display's dimensions as it sits in the gear VR)... Those 2 items are SET and therefore if an app cuts a portion of the screen away, it would jack up the whole experience - whether it chops off just the camera punch hole, or even if it cut away the same amount of screen from both sides... the physical dimensions are static and must remain so to give the VR Effect... Any change to display viewing area would completely destroy the equilibrium between right and left eyes, as they reference the same "pre-determined" areas of the viewing areas of display... If that makes sense?? I may have butchered it, but maybe someone else can help make it more reasonable sounding?? That is the main issue I believe though... They would need to create a whole new VR headset that distributes the bottom 95% of screen equally between right and left eye, and then would need an update to every VR App/Game to rewrite the code/graphic to work with such parameters....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
You are basing this on the idea that every phone has had an equal bezel on the top and bottom.

Also the VR apps open in a container that can align the screen how they want. The Container determines the area of the screen visible for use. You arent just staring dead center at the screen. Its framed against the lenses.

The entire screen doesnt need to be split equally between each eye. Just the portion determined by the software container to be the usable area. You could cut off the top and be left with the same usable area as the note 9.

It can also sit offset slightly in the headset and still represent the same area of view so the lenses can create the three sixty view for the user
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TherionTheGreat:
Maybe I am wrong but looks like all of you except 1 person missed the whole point. It is not about finding a fitting headset. It is irrelevant if you find one. Note 10 will NOT cooperate because it will be missing software to display content in a way that headset requires. The only solution will be to root the phone and load adequate drivers (assuming that some developers prepared such thing).

After reading further I found out that Samsung was using Oculus software to power the VR functions of their phones. Their contract with Oculus expired and now they have no way of enabling any kind of VR on their devices. Note 10 is the first phone to experience this.

Anyway, I am waiting for my Note 10 Plus to be delivered and I will be exploring all ways of turning it into VR device. If anyone knows other way than rooting, please post here.
