[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
How do you know it isn't the upsampling that's causing the noise? Your description fits exactly the symptoms of it. Particularly if it goes away when you switch to 24-bit output.

It doesn't make sense that you need to turn on dithering or otherwise process the audio source in order to avoid noise: The ESS DAC has incredibly low noise levels, and as long as the source is left unprocessed and played through the DIRECT path, you should be hearing nothing but black background. Of course assuming a clean recording. (Some of my best recordings are old analog ones, but of course they have noise.)

I apologize for being pushy about this, but I keep seeing myths surrounding this Quad DAC, and users focusing on things that aren't problems while overlooking the real problems that actually exist.

I'll leave you to it :o

[MENTION=5631635]BROKEN1981[/MENTION]: I want to make sure I understand you correctly: Are you saying you experienced hissing on both V20 and V30, but once you got Pie, it went away?

That's interesting (if I understand you correctly). I wonder if LG fixed the re-sampling in their later Pie releases after all: Long before Pie came out on any LG phones I had a bet with csglinux (over on head-fi) where I optimistically/naively said I had a feeling they might address it in Pie, and he thought they wouldn't. Of course when Pie finally came (to his V40 at first) the problems had turned even worse, now with both up-sampling and down-sampling, and a bunch of other issues too. Took much work by Davy to fix UAPP, and I understand the same with Neutron.

I am now tempted to upgrade my H932 after all just to test this. But first I need confirmation that lafsploit isn't broken when rolling back from Pie (I think you saw this over in the H932 root thread.)

But like you mentioned, most of the reports of hissing in the past seemed to traceable back to audio mods or EQ or other processing by player apps. With a good DAC like ours and decent IEMs, it doesn't take much messing around with a 16/44 stream before you can hear it.

Edit: Have you done an audio_flinger dump during 16/44 playback since updating to Pie?

You really got me thinking, but I have so much work to do, gotta get this out of my head for now :silly:

[MENTION=832590]TheDannemand[/MENTION]

I got confused with this much testing. I believe what you say and I'm already happy with this thing. Sorry for this unimportant problem I don't know about the real issues. :laugh:
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
Fair enough LOL :D

I didn't mean to be tactless, but I can see how that came across. Actually I DO consider your problem important. Otherwise I wouldn't keep responding to it. And besides, it's your thread!

What I meant was myths such as "you must use 50ohm headphones to activate the DAC", or "music gets better and better as more of the Quad DAC cores are activated", or "up-sampling music to 352KHz in PowerAmp will improve its quality". Just to mention a few.

Truths are (1) the ES9218P is a genuine audiophile DAC which performs the best when NOTHING is done to the source. (2) It CAN drive planars and other hard-to-drive headphones, but sounds blissful too on highly sensitive balanced armatures. (3) It uses multiple DAC units to increase amplification, not to "improve" the music. (4) HIM is NOT required for it to perform optimally.

The "real problem" is the upsampling of 16/44 music, which isn't inherent to the DAC itself, but is a massive oversight in LG's implementation, diminishing sound quality for the vast majority of music played on a phone. While not everybody can hear it (depending on hearing, earphones/headphones used, and the music source) many people CAN, particularly on sensitive IEMs -- including many moderately priced and popular earphones. And since many users don't realize that the hiss/noise they're hearing is re-sampling artifacts, they pursue fixes that further process the music stream, which sometimes may drown out the noise, but also further diminishes sound quality.

This upsampling is by far the biggest problem with LG's Quad DAC from an audiophile perspective.

(I should add that configuring PowerAmp to re-sample to 352KHz actually isn't the worst choice, since it does this without the artifacts of the Android Mixer's 44 > 48KHz upsampling, and it will play the result through the DIRECT path. Of course "re-sampling" 16/44 to 24/44 (just adding the zero bits) is even better, but requires changing every time HiRes music is played to avoid down-sampling it.)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] BROKEN1981:
Not me, I'm just saying I've seen people having issues with hissing going all the way back to the V20. Though I don't know what they were doing. I can count on 1 hand of how many times I've seen it posted.

---------- Post added at 02:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 AM ----------

Trust me, you aren't bothering anyone man! [MENTION=832590]TheDannemand[/MENTION] is happy to shed some light on the dac. There is a lot of misinformation on it and I partly blame LG.

When the V20 came out, LG said at 50 ohms or more, the sound gets better.

While this may be correct, it's very misleading. If using something more than 50 ohms, you are probably using cans designed for audiophiles.

There aren't many earphones that hit 50 ohms. I bought a pair of audio-technica's that are 50 ohms earphones. Over $100 as well.

I went to Ali Express, bought CCA C10 earphones that are 30 ohms that blow my audio-technica's out of the water.

Do they hold up to cans? NO! Cans will give the best sound experience while being more than 50 ohms.

Hi Guys.

I'm sorry if this is a covered issue but I have honestly tried to search here and google but I cant seem to over come the problem I have installing opera.

I have downloaded opera (http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/products/)

Both .CAB and .MSi versions but when I come to install, I hit a wall.

.CAB

When I open the folder on my desktop, inside i get an XML file and a whole load of numbered files like .000 FILE, .001 FILE etc and I dont know what to do to install it. I've tried putting all these onto memory card and runing from there but there isn't any .exe to run.

.MSI

Windows vista runs the .MSI and it seems like its installing to the PC and not the TYTN. I dont get it.

Please can you help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bartimeus:
With the .cab part of it...all of those files you are seeing are actually the files inside the cab so you need to back up to the folder containing the .cab and you will see a little blue cabinet just drag that into your tilt directory and run it from there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] soupz:
Hi thanks for the quick reply!

I can't see a Little blue cabinet file anywhere. When I download from opera website. The downloaded file is a Yellow Folder called 'opera_wm5_sp_865' with all these files inside and no blue cabinet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] met3ora:
Move the .cab file to your phone, use the File Explorer and click it.

Also, the MSI will install it to your phone. Did you ever try going through the entire install process?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RizwanKhan:
once you do get that version of opera uninstalled try the one in my 4shared folder (link in my sig). Its modified build by gsleon3 and it is uninstallable :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bartimeus:
Oh well it might not be little and blue for you...

When I download stuff I try to download it to a folder where I store all my Kaiser stuff on my desktop so the blue .cab file(blue for me at least) is right there so it is easy to find.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] soupz:
Hi,

Been problem solving this issue all day today and now I've finally realised where i've gone wrong! I've managed to finally install it and it was such a small error on my part.

basically, when i downloaded the .cab file from opera website. The icon of the file was a winzip icon becuase winzip was assigned to open .cab's and i was extracting it without realising it was a .cab file. I just assumed that i was supposed to extract the winzip first. lol.

Well, have all sorted it now and I hope this helps someone who gets stuck like me....

Thanks guys!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] soupz:
Also gonna uninstall winzip now! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bartimeus:
I had that problem with WinRar for awhile but I just told it to not touch .cabs

Good thing its all fixed. have fun ;)

[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] lchiu7:
Looks like Soli is only available in certain countries. Short of disabling the hardware in countries which it's not available, I wonder how Google is going to stop it

If you're roaming to a country that does not support it, it possible Google will use GPS to determine your location and stop the capability. Then of that is the case then buying a phone say in the US and trying to use somewhere else might not work.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] puffedo:
according to androidpolice.com, cellular triangulation is used to determine the phone's location and disable motion sense in unsupported regions

source: <ap.c>/2019/10/15/pixel-4s-motion-sense-will-disable-itself-in-unsupported-regions/ (sorry, I may not post links)
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] lchiu7:
You mean this?

https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/...e-will-disable-itself-in-unsupported-regions/

I could live without gesture controls but what other functions might not work without Soli (facial unlock?)
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] puffedo:
afaik facial unlock works without Soli, it will just be slower and may require you to tap the screen for login, rather than just reaching for the phone.

But Soli is also used to turn on battery saving features, e.g. turn off the screen when nobody is near the phone, which might be a problem, considering the small battery capacity of the smaller Pixel 4
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Eugnis:
Disassempled and looked into MotionSense APK from apkmirror. MotionSense determines country by phone number: it looks for android.telephony.extra.NETWORK_COUNTRY param to detect allowed country code. I think that can be bypassed by modifying apk but seems root needed to replace it because it looks like system app.

It's not hard to make it available in unsupported country, I'll try to unlock Soli when I get my phone and will upload here if it works :)
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] lchiu7:
That's encouraging. My Pixel 4XL is on back order so I have time to cancel it. Not sure about not hard to make it available if it needs root though. Then you need a working Magisk if you want NFC payments, some baning apps and for me, corporate apps like Outlook.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] mjoach:
Soli is disabled for now in Japan, but I was hoping that as long as I set it up without SIM it might not bother detecting the country. No go. So either trilateration or the phones sold here have this already disabled in software.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Xsikor:
I know how to make it works on every country, but can't build apk back (install, build is successful)

Maybe you have a secret knowledge?)

Fix is in two lines

In this article we can find function name https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-4-motion-sense-list-countries-supported-apps/amp/

All what we need is change goto in default case
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] MohamedRaafat:
Have you tried fixing yours ? Can you possibly make a tutorial for this ? I would really appreciate that as I will receive mine in two weeks and my country is not supported

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------

Yes please do...we would all appreciate that
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Eugnis:
Yep, and nothing secret here. Same for modified apps: After building APK, bump it's build number, sign it with your certificate and install with adb. Also you need root if this is system app (remove original motion sense apk and then install your modded). Look on xda for instructions to install modded google play store - they'll be same.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Xsikor:
It's possible to install motion sense over default system like a update without root. I try to decompile and then compile apk back by apktool, but after this can't sign apk because I don't know how.

Error when I try install by ADB is adb install dist/com.google.oslo.apk

adb: failed to install dist/com.google.oslo.apk: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES: Failed to collect certificates from /data/app/vmdl1077585388.tmp/base.apk: Attempt to get length of null array]

This is my first time when I try to modify apk, so I don't have experience on this
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Eugnis:
Look here for instruction how to sign APK https://stackoverflow.com/a/40064149/3042448

Maybe, can you try this?

AFAIK It should compare certificate of previous app with updated app (with same package name) and will show error if they're not same.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Xsikor:
Nope =( can't install. So need root for first step

adb: failed to install com.google.oslo-aligned-debugSigned.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE: Package com.google.oslo signatures do not match previously installed version; ignoring!]

adb uninstall do not help, it's delete only last update of motion sens
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Allesa:
Really hoping there's a way to enable soli in all countries. Not having it making me feel left out ?
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Eugnis:
Looked one more time in MotionSense APK and looks like its developers left setting to disable country checks at all. TO do that, you just need to change android setting 'pixel.oslo.allowed_override' to '1' or 'true', modifying APK not needed.

I can't try this right now but if you want to check, then connect Pixel 4 with developer mode and execute command in adb shell:

adb shell "setprop persist.pixel.oslo.allowed_override true; setprop ctl.restart zygote"

or edit system/build.prop with some app

You still need root to do this.

Hi.

I purchased the Atoto A6 Pro (without hand gesture) and the unit is a steaming pile of crap IMO. I'm not sure why it was given such great reviews but my old PumpkinAuto running Android 4.4 was vastly better than this device.

I tried searching and, as the title suggests, what the best 7" Android Head Unit currently in the market? My only needs are;

- have wifi

- have a good Bluetooth chip

-steering wheel control support

- can play Spotify without lagging

- the reverse camera goes on instantly when the car is in reverse without black screen lag

- Able to root it or have it come preinstalled with an app like ViperFX.

I'm just a basic user but I wanted this unit to be an upgrade from my old device. The Atoto A6 could not meet my standards of use

Does anyone have any experience with those online money making sites? I just spent an hour signing up for email lists, surveys, etc. and supposedly made $15.30... with an emphasis on supposedly. I'm thinking about wasting about two hours of my day, every day doing this which can get me an extra $150+ a week. I know... not a lot but right now I'm doing a 4 day unpaid internship and am strapped for cash.

The extra cash would make my summer slightly bearable but the last thing I'd want is to waste a bunch of hours and not get paid! Does anyone know if these things are legit? Btw, I'm using cashcrate.

Okay so here's the situation, I have a pixel 2 with my home country sim in it my provider back home doesn't support esim. I'm traveling and would like to get a local sim for cheap data. Can I get an esim for the travelling PAYG and switch between them (don't really need phone and text on the home sim all day) so I would envisage switching to the home sim for a few hours every evening to see if I got any texts (most coms is done via telegram or WhatsApp) then switch to the local esim during the day for data?

How easy is it to switch esims between handsets? Will probably pick up a pixel 4 next week on release, can the esim be transferred easily between the handsets?

Once up and running next week will be able to have both Sims running on the pixel 4 with dad's.

[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] WaningGibbous:
About a month ago I started getting the Moisture in USB port error all of the time. I promise, it wasn't wet. It persisted through 2 firmware updates and much time in hot, no humidity environments. Not the biggest problem in the word, because I anyway always just use wireless charging as default. But it did kind of freak me out none the less, and I wanted to backup all of my data and do a factory reset to see if this helped anything before trying to deal with warranty support for a possible broken USB port.

Eventually the port began thinking it was dry again, and I hooked it up to two different windows 10 computers, one windows 7 computer, and my Linux computer (which i have use many times in the past to transfer files with no problems). I reaaalllly don't think it's a driver issue, I promise this isn't a cable or computer USB port issue.

When I plug it in, the phone just starts charging, the computer acts as if nothing happened. the "adb devices" command yields no results. USB debugging is on.

I went into dev settings and made sure it was set to MTP by default. It was. I anyway tried all the same settings, with no luck.

Nothing changed on my computer, yet it no longer recognizes my phone, which is also unrecognized by any computer I try. The USB port works fine for charging now, and I have tried many cables.

Any ideas? Whenever I try to search about this all i get pretty much is "dId YoU tRy ReStArTiNg It???"

I really wanted to back up all my stuff and flash Lineage :/

In doing research about previous models of Galaxy having this same issue, it seems to largely be a software problem. I would like to try going into recovery and wiping some caches....which are safe to wipe without risking any meaningful data loss?
