I tried following these directions to get viper to work system wide, it mostly works but does yours or anyone else's Viper stop processing when you're using google maps navigation when google is speaking on the next turn?

Viper stops processing whenever google speaks and then it'll reactive like a split second later after Google is finished speaking.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] GohanBurner:
Yes, I have never been able to figure out how to get that to work ever since I discovered V4A. I just disable the voice directions and it won't mess with V4A processing anything else.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bestgio:
Thanks for chiming in! But that's definitely a bummer though :/

I came from the OG Pixel XL and I was able to easily solve this by installing Audio Compatibility Patch and only patching the notification_helper (on the second option) and that would fix the "ducking" sound from all my notifications in general, as well as google maps voice directions.

I will try playing around with audio compatibility patch further and hopefully see if there still is a way for our new phones!

Do you have the image saved in the same folder you're running the command prompt from?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DemonicMurderer:
Yea its in with the rest of the minimal adb and fastboot files.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] the.emilio:
Bootloader unlocked right? May be a bad image file if anything.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Geekser:
I wanted to see if I flashed the latest firmware first, if that might help me get a successful flash when I tried to fastboot flash the patched boot img.

So I downloaded latest firmware from Google - move unzipped and copied to my platform tools folder and when I flashed it - it looked like the flash was working. Bootloader flashed - several other things flashed - and then it got to a point where I got the same error message I had received before - failed, can't find partition. I am really lost. Don't know what I am doing wrong or why my phone won't flash these files. I am 99 percent sure I am doing everthing right - but it still is failing - any ideas anyone?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DemonicMurderer:
so do I need to repatch the boot.img?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] the.emilio:
I would try that. Also make sure the factory image you downloaded matches your build. There are three images.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DemonicMurderer:
I matched the images with mine. its the 007 image. I had trouble with the patching tho took a bit to get the file to patch.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] the.emilio:
That's probably your problem then. Try patching again and report back
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DemonicMurderer:
Ill try again in a minute and ill take pics here and there stand by!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DemonicMurderer:
is it normal for the file to go from 64.0mb original to 31.3 after patch?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DemonicMurderer:
Got it. Thanks i guess it was a patching issue. Thanks again!

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Geekser:
I am really at a loss and not sure what to do - no help yet and hoping someone has an idea.

Followed all of the steps from the OP - downloaded the canary version of Magisk Manager and installed it.

Patched the boot image from the latest firmware. Confirmed my phone is on the latest firmware.

Unlocked Bootloader

Fastboot Devices recognizes the phone

here is what happens when I attempt to flash the patched boot image:

PS C:\platform-tools> fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes

sending 'boot' (32108 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.861s]

FAILED (remote: Failed to write to partition Not Found)

Any idea on why I am getting this failed message and or what I can do about it?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eg1122:
Do you have latest fastboot/adb tools? Also canary build is not necessary. I'm using stable just fine.

You can find latest build of adb/fastboot here.

forgive me for taking up so much of your time with my problem but I have tried several more downloads and had the same issue with the Flash of the patched image failing.

So I thought I would try flashing the Latest Firmware on my phone and then would try again - so, I tried to flash the latest firmware - and it ran perfectly up until it came time to flash "BOOT" - and then it failed - saying 'partition not found" - essentially the same error I was getting when I attempted to flash the patched image.

THis is not my first time flashing on pixels - I am not an expert but I have done it before - and I am beginning to wonder if there si something wrong with my phone? Why can't it find the partition?

The title pretty much sums it up.

I had an ATT phone when working in the US - it was unlocked by ATT when I moved to Canada for work.

I just flashed it to SM-965U1.

I am on Koodo, living in an area with sub-par signal and I'd really like to know if it is possible to get the Koodo firmware on so that I may enjoy the perks of WiFi Calling and VoLTE.

Thank you,

DarkRiot43
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
do you know anyone with a Koodo S9+? or can you call/visit one of the retail locations to get the firmware version from their S9+? sammobile.com/firmwares might have it, but its possible that itll be a toughie as niche cell providers like these dont exactly have a lot of availability for that. You could maybe contact their tech support to see if you can get access to the firmware

Hi,

OEM unlocking isn't enabled on my Pixel 2, and I'm not successful in getting it enabled. It's just greyed out.

I just got my Pixel 2, bought it used. I'm in New Zealand, the carrier "Spark" seems to work fine with the phone, the guy I bought it from said it wasn't locked to a carrier.

I've tried resetting it, with and without connecting to wifi, but the "OEM Unlocking" option stays greyed out no matter what I do.

Any advice please?

Good day,

A friend of my'n has the Hermes.

I now have it with me because it does'nt doe antyhing anymore.

Looks like its dead.

The screen is black and stays black.

Is there anyone who can suggest anything that i could try to revive it?

or is all hope gone and it realy is dead?

Thanks, Alex

If it syncs, install my mobiler to see what damage has been done. It could be a ribbon cable has been damaged or come loose. You may have to open and see. Lets put it this way, at this point, what have you got to loose.....

try to check your device using JTAG

Hi there,

if your device really seems to be dead, have a look over here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=391047

As long as you know how to open the device and are brave enough to use a soldering iron on tiny testpoints, you may easily use JTAG to check your device.

First do some measurements on the mainboard, if there's some voltage there is some life.

You should be able to measure 3.15V, 1.8V, ~1.2V somewhere on the board after pressing the power on button. This should work even on devices that do not start any more, or do not display anything.

If you got these signs of life, try to connect to a JTAG adaptor like explained in the thread mentioned above.

There's nothing to loose :D

Good luck anyway!

Regards,

scholbert

[BLISS ROMS Q&A] M47Z:
Today for the first time ever I got BlissOS to run, v11.10! Awesome! It really is a huge improvement over Android x86.

Just one question though: Do you plan to release builds without google apps in future? I know in the past bliss came without google (and people hated that!) but I don't need gapps or microg or anything and would rather leave it out, especially on a low end device.

If not: I am 100% sure I saw an offical build guide just hours ago, containing info on how to build without google stuff (with an option called "noextra" or something like that) but now I can not find it again for the heck of it... Sorry for being to stupid to use google, but could someone give me the link!

Keep up the awesome work!

[Huawei Watch 2] crickyo:
Hi as the title says i am late to the party:)

I managed to get one of the watches cheap recently and have a few questions.

Im having problems because the roms ive installed dont have gapps i chose not to install them because i didnt need any of the services until now and ended up with more issues e.g. even with gapps installed i needed the latest play store for the wear os app to even run then after installing it said my play services or something similar needed updating before wear os would run after that the wear os app would just freeze.

After that annoyance i decided to install a stock rom and have to go through all the updating google stuff again then i finally could get my watch to boot and sync up etc but the battery life on my phone was a lot worse and not really worth the hassle (using airplane mode on both roms) :(

I see theres a few roms and kernels for the watch but not sure what the differences are.

What do the roms offer that stock doesnt? I know it seems stupid having a smart watch and not using all the features but some of the things i wont use at all and the things i would are hindered by the fact it has to go through the wear os app that then needs all the google services to run.

Is it possible to use the watch without all the google stuff? I have an alcatel "smartwatch" that just seems to be easier to get running and pair with its basic app on my phone . at the minute i prefer the alcatel or even just my analogue watch becuase of the hassle the huawei seems to have to go through but if i reset the watch im going to have to do all that nonsense again with the play store.

I guess its a glitch.

yes so sometimes it detects only small screen and defaults to 720p. Force close the app and then open youtube on big screen it will show full res options again.

Hi there:

My car is 2016 QQ J11 TS 1.6Dci and have installed a unit purchased from Aliexpress. I Just want to get some advice regarding a matter about the driver side door opening mechanism in QQ. The previous Nissan unit turns itself off after opening the right side door. The problem i am facing is that the new android unit turns itself off after just pressing start/stop button at the end of journey.

This setting doesn't seem to be working for me, and this is one of the biggest features I want enabled. I would think could be a massive battery saver, but also extremely convenient. Reading a long article online, sometimes I'm just staring at the screen, not moving touching the display, and makes so much sense for a Face ID thing to see your eyes focus on the phone to keep it awake. But then I would guess can save battery, as when your done viewing the phone, and put it down, the screen turns off.

Android Q adds support for a Smart Stay-like “Screen Attention” feature

https://www.xda-developers.com/android-q-smart-stay-screen-attention/

Settings > Display > Screen attention

I enabled this in the settings, then I set my screen time out to 15 seconds, to save battery, but thought this "screen attention" thing will keep the screen on for me, when reading news and stuff , as the face ID thing will scan my eyes keeping the display on. Well it doesn't seem to work, if I just stare at a web page for longer than 15 seconds, the screens turns off.
