easyTrip does that, but you need Tom Tom.

And of course Track Me if that does what you want.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bapssystupr3m3:
i think gps tuner can do that...i think..dont quote me 100%
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MimoG3:
thanks guys, i do have tomtom thats what i use when im looking for places, but i didnt see a trip meter so thats what sparked this question
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] vcespon:
GPSTuner can do that, but it's not free. It registers your track and gives you information on the total length, maximum/minimum/average speed, maximum/minimum altitude, percentage of track climbing and descending...

Also you can load a JPG of a map and navigate to any place, no just roads.

I use Tomtom for road/street navigation and GPStuner for off-road or loading custom POIs and find which ones are near. (and navizon to get some money back from this device, I expect it to pay for itself in a few months)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] myk_83:
I was looking for the same thing, and found RunGPS - www.rungps.net

Again, it's not free, but there is a 14 day trial so you can at least test it and see if it does everything you want it to before paying anything. It also includes uploading of "training" or anything you've recorded to www.gps-sport.net which will keep track of everything you do and I find is very useful.

I do cycling events with my local road race club, and if you set up routes on the gps-sport website you can compete against other people who use the same route, which is quite cool. You can also compete against yourself, which might be good if you're riding the same routes every day?

I'm just waiting for my MDA Vario III to get back from being repaired, and this will be the first thing I put back on it!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] webpatrick:
how about LEM's TrackMe. It's free and a lot of fun. You can find it also in the Kaiser general thread. It stores the trips on LEM's server or your own (need PHP server), so you have historical data and you have a lot more with this app.

Edit: I see it's also mentioned by denco7.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Blazej222:
As we know, some devices require specific unlock key to unlock the bootloader. Today I had to repair Motorola 7G Play - the only way to rescue it was to reflash the firmware. Trying to obtain the key for bootloader I got informed that I would lose my warranty, so I stopped there.

I installed their Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant and selected option called emergency flash (smth like that - it basically performs firmware flash for you without having to apply for bootloader unlock and without losing warranty). It automatically downloaded normal firmware image in zip and flashed it using fastboot - however, I lost all my data. So now I am wondering - if their Smart Assistant Tool was able to open bootloader and force it to flash partitions with specific image, without losing warranty, couldn't we somehow intercept they method/key it uses to unlock the bootloader so that we dont have to apply for key? E.g by constantly scanning smart assistant's memory, or running some kind of a debugger on it ?

And the second question, could we somehow force fastboot from this app to not erase data partitions?

In ROM directory I have file called flashfile.xml and it contains lines like that:

<step MD5="5e74c6886760e5a0ba59a1ba3478aa88" filename="oem.img" operation="flash" partition="oem"/>
<step MD5="3f6769e943e5abeee86c7ad8575fa61c" filename="oem_other.img" operation="flash" partition="oem_b"/>
<step operation="erase" partition="userdata"/>
<step operation="erase" partition="DDR"/>
<step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_clear"/>

I wonder if we could simple remove the erase userdata step.

Thanks in advance for clarifying my questions!

Looking for a 10 inch or 7 inch headunit. Having a hard time finding the right one.

I like the Atoto 10 inch and the Eonon 10 inch but I don't know what's better.

What else is out there or what would you guys buy?
[Android Head-Units] Aadieu:
The next/previous track touch buttons and volume knob / mute button on the Atoto 10" come in quite useful

If you can fit a 10" comfortably, stay away from 7", there's no comparison
[Android Auto General] Jerry.lad:
Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with my stock Android Auto appearance on my 2019 Citroen C4 Grand Spacetourer. For example, in PowerAmp the blurry color gradient backround behind the track artwork appears patchy instead of smooth. In other words, the color resolution seems to be unable to process color transitions smoothly. I am confident the head unit is capable of processing color gradients without a problem. Is there a way around it in AA? Can I tweak my Android Auto appearance in PowerAmp somehow to get rid of this ugliness?

I apologise in advance if this is a silly question.
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
You should submit this question to Poweramp forums. Based on my experience, they reply pretty quickly

I'm running open touch v 3.0 biggy, and I've noticed sometimes when exiting contacts, calendar, and sometimes when I bring my phone out of sleep, the comm manager comes up. I just close it out, but it's getting annoying. It seems like every time I wake my phone up, comm manager is up. I've tried reflashing, but it still does it. Anybody else have the same issue?
[Wing, P4350 General] alongenemylines:
everyone had that issue. it was a problem with the comm manager used in OT 3.0 - it can be fixed by installing another comm manager, and after installing another comm manager, you'll need to fix the wifi through a quick regedit. there's other posts on both of those issues.

I bought a Redmi Note 7 two months ago and it has just stopped working for no reason. It was working properly until now, I hadn't flashed it, it wasn't root. I think it had around 70% battery when it has happened.

It's not charging using the original charger, no lights at all when connected to the charger.

Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions before contacting the seller?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] greyhulk:
I have been having this weird issue where, fairly frequently I take my Note 10 Plus out of my pocket and it shows the time, including the seconds, but I can't interact with the screen and the screen won't shut off. The only way to shut it off and/or interact with it is to hit the power button. I set it down and the screen stays on in this state for a long time.

Does anyone know what this is? Is it something to do with the pocket protection? If so, why doesn't it go back to normal when light hits the sensor and/or the proximity sensor isn't covered? It's really annoying and it keeps happening.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] FreddyFredFred:
turn on your screen with the lockscreen locked. Tap the time. Is that the screen? If so, it's your time getting tapped in your pocket.

You 'back' button should be available. Maybe the gesture if that's the way you have it set

You don't have accidental touch enabled? Check in settings. My phone automatically shows "accidental touch" has blocked screen from touches. Which is good. If you still encounter issues, try wiping cache partition:

Turn off the device.

Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby / Power key.

When the Android logo displays, release both keys.

An 'Installing system update' message will show for 30 - 60 seconds before the Android system recovery menu options appear.

Press the Volume down key several times to highlight wipe cache partition.

Press Bixby / Power key to select.

Press the Volume down key to highlight yes, them and press the Bixby / Power key to select.

When the wipe cache partition is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted.

Press the Bixby / Power key to restart the device.

[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] -Luigi.:
Why is that the 60fps video on 1080p looks like garbage? I would like a technical explanation if someone knows it. Is it the camera hardware? Or low-end processor?

I've made a video comparison between 30 and 60fps so you can see the absurd difference in quality / resolution.

Seriously, I can't really understand and accept that a 2019 phone, made by Google, even though it is the "cheap" version, records such trash video on 1080 60fps. This isn't actually even 1080p, seems like a 480p or lower just upscaled to 1080 to fool people!

Even the iPhone 6s (which damn, its from 2015) I had was capable of recording 60fps perfectly without any perceptible quality loss. (I know a bit more noise or darker image is normal because the sensor receives less light)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNBLrniExks

Also, some printscreens:

30 FPS

60 FPS

[IMG="60 fps"]https://i.imgur.com/s43RXcj.png[/IMG]
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Skittles9823:
It's not garbage. Shooting at higher frames just requires more light. From the video I can see it wasn't the brightest environment but if you were to go inside in a well lit room you would definitely see a noticeable difference.

My 3a XL takes excellent 1080p 60fps videos when in a well lit area.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] -Luigi.:
Dude, it's not about the light intensity. It drops the resolution. As I said, I know 60fps requires more light and normally produces a bit darker or noisier video if there is not enough light. But on the Pixel 3a it clearly drops the resolution, not the brightness. I've tried under daylight sun and it is the same. The iphone 6s I had recorded 1080 60fps without dropping the res even with low light.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Skittles9823:
? Idk what to tell you then, it's fine for me. Might be something wrong with the small 3a series, or could be software related or even just a hardware defect on your device in particular.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Joran01:
I also noticed the huge drop in resolution like it's upscaling 720p or even 480p footage. You can count the pixel when shooting 1080p 60fps
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Joran01:
UPDATE: I just installed the 7.0 apk and there's an option that when enabled, the 60fps looks like real 1080P, it looks very sharp just like the 30fps. Trust me, it's way better!!!

Oh, glad to know! Will try it out!
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] -Luigi.:
Is there any way I can install the 7.0 without overwriting the official current stock version of the 3a?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Rudi154:
You can try shelter:

I often use ZipSigner (from APK Mirror) to detach an App from playstore.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] -Luigi.:
And what option would that be? I've installed it but didnt find any setting beyond the 30/60 switch... And the 60 still looks pixelated.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Joran01:
I've used a modded version that had the developer options in settings. There are over 50 options and I was messing around with them until I found out that my 60fps looked very sharp and when zooming in, it was as good as the 30fps option.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] -Luigi.:
Interesting... Could you share your options with me?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Joran01:
I don't have it anymore since it was very unstable. Yesterday, they released the 7.1 apk (while I used 7.0) and it's much more stable.

Yea... Was reading about it at just this exact moment hahah...

Well I will try it out and mess with some settings.

Can't be an issue of my device only, I saw some review videos on YT and I could notice the problem also... And some more people complaining about it.

Anyway I can't get a replacement cause I dont live on the US, but honestly I think this is software related.

You say your 3a XL does not have this bad quality on 60 fps?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Skittles9823:
Nope. Mines pretty much fine, I'll take some video tomorrow to show you.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] -Luigi.:
Alright, thank you.

Well, I hope It isn't some difference between the normal 3a and the XL units, as they have the same hardware as far as I'm concerned...
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Skittles9823:
Okay so I did some comparisons today, and both 30 and 60 are about on par for me... Untill I zoom in, then they both seem to turn to dog ****.

[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] PGHammer:
Updating the APK

The APK (both 7.0 and the 7.1 APK from the Pixel 4) are straight updates - thus they are applicable to any Pixel running 10. I applied both to my otherwise dead-stock 3a (in that order) - the ONLY complaint came with the 7,0 APK (the infamous "dogfood" APK mentioned earlier; amusingly, the 7.1 APK didn't make that complaint). For that reason, as long as you are running stock 10, just treat the APK as an update (which is what I did in both cases). NightSight is improved in 7.1 over 7.0 (which was no slouch itself) - has anyone tried the astrophotography with 7.1?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] -Luigi.:
Yea its exactly that... when not zooming, the problem isn't much noticeble... cause well, we are fitting an image on a little screen so pixels aren't really visible. But when zooming, it is really obvious... by the way even the zoom ammount is limited when on 60fps as you may have noticed.

Although I've already experienced this on another low-cost phones, it doesn't feel right for me that a 2019 phone made by Google, not any random manufacturer, have such low quality on 1080 60fps. It does have enough cpu power to handle true 1080 60fps... just for comparison, an iphone 6 (not "s"), that can't record 4K 30, can do 1080 60 without this resolution loss.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Filsan:
Any Update to this issue?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] quark-lepton:
It is possible that you already get real 1080p Video at 60 fps. But possibly Google downscales 4k video to 1080p at 30fps, which could make 1080p sharper. I don't know whether that's the case at 1x (I haven't compared the results), but it's surely the case that Google crops 4k video for better Full HD zoom at 30fps. Apparently they don't do this at 60fps.

A 12 megapixel 4:3 camera sensor has 8 megapixels that can be used for 16:9 video. Full HD only has 2 megapixels. So in order to improve the zoom performance, smartphones usually crop 4k video for better Full HD zoom.

I agree that the 3a has poor video/microphone quality.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] waingro808:
I noticed the pixelation too at 1080p 60fps, but I thought it was because I'm using HEVC h.265 setting.

[Shift General] aquasesh:
I was using my X01ht for 1 1/2 years and was quiet happy with its performance.

I now received a Shift and tried to install the Open Softbank connection as described here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=288136

Sad to say, it didnt work. Running the WIFIWAKE.EXE gave me a Japanese error message, saying that a dependend file was missing. I tried to manually install all files within the cab and to create the Reg entry myself, but still no luck.

however, when I started the device for the first time, it asked me if my connection is Softbank and it sort of worked.

How can I reset the connection settings to default, so it will just show me this pop-up again?

Alternatively, how can I install the open.softbank connection on a shift?
[Shift General] Tokyorob:

[Shift General] Tokyorob:
I'm pretty sure it's not the CID as I have used a XDA Exec with no problems but it's annoying that softbank don't have a proper flat plan just like E-Mobile

Actually, I have a Softbank flat plan. For me its good enough. I use about 2 million packages

a month which equals about 160 000 yen. But luckily, i pay only 9800 on my flat.

But as mentioned, I cannot activate this flat on my shift. Quiet upsetting, really.

Seeing that the shift is the perfect device for such a flatrate. But to be honest, I think

my package rate would double. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] RockwellB1:
Did some searching on here and Google but came up with nothing. Even tried to contact someone at Samsung and basically got hungup on (used the online chat feature, they quit talking to me after asking for my device model).

So I got the keyboard cover case since it was half off when I ordered my S6 and this is the real first time I've played around with Dex even though it's on several of my other devices. Just never liked having to need a seperate monitor, mouse, and keyboard basically.

My big complaint right now is that the taskbar at the bottom doesn't hide when an app like Samsung Internet is open and Ican't figure out any way to hide it. I'd love to hide the blinding white top bar too, but the taskbar takes up more room and is just more noticable while using the apps, to me anyways.

So my question is, is there any way to hide the taskbar and/or top app bar?

UPDATE: I managed to get in touch with someone at Samsung. They said hiding the bars is not something that can be done, but they will pass the info along as a request for a furture feature. So I encourage others to make a request on their website for this to be added. Might not be a huge deal on larger screens, but when using it built-in with the Tab S6 or other small screens the extra realestate would be grand. I believe I found an easy way to make the request using either the Samsung Members app or in the Dex settings Contact Us section while I was using Dex.
