Is there an option i need to enable to get the brightness and shadow sliders enabled? I don't have them on my P4XL, it looks like I am currents with the camera app.

You should just have to tap the screen.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] imran333:
I got Sony tv kdl-43w807c but after update it’s boot looping continuously and I’ve tried forced reset and update but it doesn’t work, and I seen on a video on YouTube , someone in India is actually able to remove the emmc chip and read and write it, but they don’t show how it’s done, just offer service or training for the repair, the videos not in English and I’m in uk so that’s no use to me, I need a way to figure out how to fix it whatever way possible, and maybe someone knows how to write firmware by jtag or read and writing the chip , I’ve attached picture of my board and the chip I think needs repair on is the black chip at the bottom of the board in the middle, hopefully someone has a solution as this has happened to many people and Sony are not doing anything about it even though it’s there fault ?

Hey guys, I am using Dutty's WM 6.1 19209 rom

What my problem is, i want to change the task manager that comes with this rom to the newer version so i can get my video to start recording. I dont know how to uninstall it and replace it because there is an icon in the programs folder.

I read somewhere that all i need to do is replace it and it will work but idk how to replace them in that folder.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
So, you don't know how to uninstall it because there is an icon in programs. Interesting. I often get confused about uninstalling things because it's installed. Hmmm.. How about, this probley won't work but it could.

Start

settings

system

remove programs.

If it's there then you need to uninstall via the uninstall.

If not just install the new app, if it's a newer version of the same app it should uninstall automatically.

If this isn't what you ment then I suggest you write your problem out a bit better.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mode:
yeah its not there

the newer version wont work when i copy it since the old one is still here.

can i just remove it from the registry?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
um is this a cab file or something?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mode:
yeah, got it from his website
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] raiisak:
You should request this in the tread of rom, bigger chance one of the people who is using it or helping out on support there sees it. If not wait couple of days and perhaps bumping it. I say this because if everyone making a new tread like this its going to be impossible to read this forum in the end.

Good luck mate :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
So you can't copy the cab file to an MicroSD ? Thats amazing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mode:
omfg wow

you would think iv tried that by now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
DURKA DUR I'm going off of what you said.

to me, the reads as you tried to copy it to the phone but it no workie.... I am shocked that the phone won't allow the file to be copied.

Copy and Install are 2 dif things.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mode:
I just want to know how to uninstall the one that came with the rom.

copying the new crap isnt the issue.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] XtreMe_G:
you cant uninstall it cause its cooked into the rom, use total commander and then you can copy it over

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] cybergabry:
Hi Everyone :)

this is my first post, I hope you can help me.

I have a Pocophone F1. When I set the "not disturb" or "silent" modes the corresponding icons, that should appear in the top

right

of the display, actually don't appear. I guess they are hidden by the notch. This is really annoying because, in this way, it is very easy to forget to have set the silent or the do not disturb modes.

I already made some searches and it seems that all the solutions and third-party apps are made for the top

left

notification icons.

Is there a solution?

Thank you very much in advance.

All the best,

Gabriele
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Alrich:
Stock MIUI on Poco only supports three objects displayed in the status bar. Left side is clock and right side is SIM and battery.

There is no setting to change this behavior.

You may try and install a custom sutartus bar, I've seen some apps on the Play Store.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] cybergabry:
Yes, thanks but the apps I have seen only change the visualization of the top left notification icons keeping the top right ones as are. Could you kindly suggest me an appropriate app?

Thank you very much.

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] zoko4ever:
hello,

I like to ask which one will you recommend for me.

The phone that I will be using is for typical uses. I will keep the phone for the next 3-4 years ( my current phone is an LG v20, which is fantastic but it showing it age). I don't live in the USA, so I don't care too much about the band as both support all the bands in my country. The headphone and micro SD ( for Micro SD. It 50/50) is essential for me. I don't want to change to Bluetooth. My priorities are performance > audio > battery > screen > repairability > camera > updates > gimmicks (wireless charging).

or do you have any other phone in the same price range?

Some question.

How good is the DAC on the Asus Rog Phone 2?

Will 512GB be enough? ( i love my 512GB micro SD card, and I don't know if I can live without them)

Thank you

or should I wait for next year phones?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Mr_Mooncatt:
I'm also on a V20 and the ROG II is the only phone that's really excited me without too many tradeoffs. The lack of SD card support doesn't bother me much with the amount of internal storage it has (and the coming 1TB version coming soon). What really turns me off from the Zenphone 6 (and most current phones) is this insane trend towards zero bezels.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] zoko4ever:
yeah, same with me, like give some bezels with dual front-facing speakers and place where I can rest my palm without covering the screen. (I HATE NOTCHES, TEARDROPS, AND PUNCH HOLES)

should I wait for next year's phones or get the rog 2? (my rooted + modded LG v20 is still going strong)

I liked LG idea of dual screen but I can't stand the notch.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Mr_Mooncatt:
If you're still happy with the V20, I'd stick with it. It's still the most complete package when you compare features. The only reason I'm looking to upgrade is because my back camera lens cover came off and now the lenses are getting scratched up. I'm still up in the air if I want to repair them. If I decide to pull the trigger on the ROG II, then it would be pointless. But I may do it anyway just because of the awesome camera and app it has. Lol
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] splink7007:
Does anyone know if an AT&T or carrier device will get software updates directly from google like iPhone gets from Apple? I have heard both scenarios as it will come direct from Google and heard the carriers release. Not sure which is true?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] techrider6262:
That is the point of the pixel line.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] sic0048:
Normal updates will come from Google. This includes the monthly security updates and Android OS updates.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] splink7007:
I understand and hope this is correct. I read somewhere that AT&T said Google releases updates and in same thread someone said Google told them they come from the carrier.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] brandon5491:
From the way I understand it, the Android platform (and a point of advertising for the Pixel product) now is supposed to be structured in such a way that updates can come directly from Google. It will be interesting to see whether the phones purchased directly from Google get the updates faster than those from the carriers.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] JohnKuczek:
I've just upgraded from a Pixel 2 to a 4 XL. I purchased the 2 from Best Buy, and the 4 XL directly from Verizon. Both came with Verizon SIM cards.

The 2 received updates the same day they were released from Google.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Wait a sec. You got an update on your 4XL already?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] JohnKuczek:
No, I got a bunch on the 2.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Haha. Good one. I read it as you got a bunch on the 2 of them.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] splink7007:
Ok so I was bored at work today and for S&G's I did an online chat with Google. The rep told me that carrier devices will get the updates from the carrier in batches and after they modify the update (whatever he meant by that). He did also confirm that unlocked devices bought from the Google store or somewhere like Best Buy will get them direct from Google.

I only bought from a carrier to get the rebates and bill credits. However, hoping they dont screw up google's native software with their "modifications".
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] pixelsquish:
I got my pixel 4xl from at&t yesterday and had a system update waiting for me already. I'm guessing the October security update. I'm doubting it came from at&t but I'm just guessing
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Pappy35:
This is why I always buy from Google. Those credits and carrier tinkering (a.k.a. "software update delay generator") are not worth a few dollars to me. If I was willing to accept carrier tinkering then I might as well just buy a Samsung.

PS - I'm not picking on you, your just post brings up a very good point about where to buy a device and why.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] mxmarcus:
I don't know why the Pixel update will be from the carriers and not Google.

The main reason you get Pixel is fast update from Google
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] uicnren:
Because carriers optimize the device for their network. Google doesn't do the optimizations for them.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] splink7007:
Lol no offense taken. I got $700 in bill credits so it was almost a wash for me. That's the only reason I went to at&t. But when next year's model comes out I won't be a new customer getting any benefit so Google store I'll go lol.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Pappy35:
Yeah. $700?!? I'd hit that. :laugh:

Updated mine last night by hitting to check system update button. I bought my 4XL from T-Mobile
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Flyer66:
I'm on T-Mobile too but when I force the update, it says mine is already up to date. I bought my 4XL direct from Google and still on the Oct security update.

Google released 3 versions of the November update for the Pixel 4 & 4XL. Can you tell me which version your phone updated to?

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] crossen0:
I feel like the check for update button is broken on my Pixel. It immediately returns with "up to date" when clearly it's not and you all have already gotten the November patch. I was under the impression it was supposed to manually seek out an update but it appears to not be working.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
It was like that yesterday for me on Sprint with my unlocked phone. So I manually installed the OTA. Don't know if it's because the update says November 5 and yesterday was the 4th.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
Google uses a staggered roll out and it can be days, a week, even a little more before the phone will find an update on it's own. I'm rooted and often travelling where the update may never come so I just use the full image with the wipe removed and then flash the boot to get root back. Got it down to about 15 minutes nowadays.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
My Pixel 4 XL still has not gotten the update. But my old Pixel 3 XL did, and my Wife's 2 XL did as well. These are Google bought Pixel's running on T-Mobile.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] wrongway213:
When you say the OTA do you mean the full factory image, or download the OTA file provided there? Curious as I gave in and just flashed the factory image... ended up losing root in the process and having to redo all that. so a good bit more than 15 min. Not sure if using the OTA instead of full image could have helped any.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
Ah, my bad, meant to say full image. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll edit the post in a sec. People can run into trouble from time to time trying to flash the OTA on the rooted phone so I'd have a backup if doing that. I get the full image and pull the boot, plug in the phone and send it over to the root, go ahead and edit the flash-all to remove the wipe, then flash the full image. The phone will be up and you can use the already installed magisk to patch the boot image and drag it back over to the PC where you can flash it. This usually takes me about 15 and add a little more for veterans that are familiar with flashing and just trying the method for the first time. Quite a bit longer of course if a person is going to go read up on any of those procedures to see how they're done. It is actually pretty easy though once you're familiar with the process.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] sic0048:
Flashing the factory image or side-loading the OTA image with both result in loosing root. You will have to re-root by modify the boot.img file using the normal Magisk proceedures.

Taking the OTA through your phone's update process will allow you to retain root if done properly (using the Magisk OTA update proceedures).
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] wrongway213:
That's how I did it this time - I appreciate the detailed response :good:

That was my original plan... hopefully what I'll do in the future if I actually get the OTA update next month (still hadn't received it at noon EST today)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] dratsablive:
I haven't got my update on my Unlocked (Google Purchased) 4 XL, but my 3 XL received it. Google would not send out an AT&T branded phone would they? My Bootsplash is the regular Pixel one, wouldn't an AT&T branded boot with an AT&T Logo (they have on previous AT&T phones I have owned.)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] pixelsquish:
There is no branding by at&t on this phone at all nor any extraneous software
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Pappy35:
Did you buy it from AT&T directly?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] dratsablive:
I got tired of war. Sideloaded the OTA
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] pixelsquish:
Yes. I financed it through them.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Pappy35:
OK. So you sideloaded software, it didn't come from AT&T without their branding/apps right?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] pixelsquish:
No my phone is stock everything.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Pappy35:
Sorry, I mixed up your response with someone else's in my :sideloaded" comment. So you bought and financed it via AT&T and it can completely free of any branded software?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] pixelsquish:
Yep. Just like my pixel 2xl I bought unlocked from Best buy a couple years ago. At&t is not doing anything to these phones as far as I can tell besides locking them to their Network

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] lorenzo122:
Hello everyone, I'm here to ask you if you have had experience with astrophotography and S10, more specifically capturing pictures of night sky, or even Milky Way. My first experience of astrophotography and smartphone was with Galaxy S7, I could take nice photos of stars (Milky way was impossible to shoot). I have tried with S10 and same settings in Pro Mode (10 seconds exposition, more or less same ISO and White Balance), but the result has not been the same, pictures are even worse (more noise, stars not clear as in S7's pictures). I'm glad to know if you have more experience with this, because after Pixel 4 and P30 Pro I asked myself if S10 can take the same pictures. For example, GCam's new version has an own function for astrophotography, it would be nice if even S10 can have his version through porting.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] dryslot:
Poor Astrophotography

I have the Galaxy Note 10 plus, and likewise, I too have been deeply disappointed with the astrophotography results. My settings were essentially identical to yours using 'Pro' mode, and I believe the camera technology in our two phones is exactly the same. Even the raw pictures displayed terrible artifacts. I'm not sure if 'banding' or 'contouring' would correctly describe what I saw, but the sky was broken up into sections that looked something like a jigsaw puzzle put together.

:(

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Kemby13:
Calm down guys, i understand your dissapointment, but this astrophotography trend started way after the s10 family came to the market... Anyway, it's more of a "software trick" than anything related to hardware itself, so we can almost certanly expect Sammy will add that feature via software update. I believe it will come with android 10. Why you may ask, well because they already added 30s exposure time in android10 beta... So it's not farfetched to believe some kind of astrophotography mode is coming. But take notice, even on other phones that do support it, you apsolutely need a tripod or some kind of stative, the phone has to be very still to enable astrophotography...
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Superrman:
Yup very disappointing ive also tried it even with TRIPOD! the stars become blurry (pro mode 10 sec) so sad.. maybe they will fix it sometime.. (google pixel is good, P30 is over saturation- still look good and alot better then S10, some will like it over the pixel)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Kemby13:
Like i said, we will most probbably get the astrophotography mode, it's just a matter of time, but i see no reason why you can't capture great pictures of the night sky with pro mode. Especially if you know the right settings and have a tripod. I took some amazing pics way back with my old S7, now with S10 they come out even better... Btw, you can't capture the Milky Way unless you are in complete darkness and away from any light pollution...

I didn't have the time to test the new pro mode (30sec exposure) in android10 beta, but i will soon. If you want i can send you links so you can see some of my photos for yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] dryslot:
I'm calm...

Thank you for your input, and fear not I was not hyperventilating. I shoot astrophotography from time to time with my Nikon DSLR's and occasionally linking that up with my Meade ETX-125 telescope.

So I have a solid foundation and understanding of the hardware requirements to properly shoot the night sky. I have also enjoyed using my Galaxy Note 10 plus with the Zhiyun Smooth 4 gimbal along with the excellent Filmic Pro software (app).

Would not have purchased that additional equipment had I not been extremely impressed with the optics of the camera technology in these phones both in terms of video and still photography. I never thought smartphones would be competitive with prosumer camera technology but under certain circumstances no question we have reached that point. It is with those higher expectations, that led me to be surprised when the quality took a nosedive when attempting to shoot long exposure night photography. I always attempt to shoot with the longest exposure and the lowest ISO to minimize noise.

But the final results were still riddled with noise and artifacts, even the raw output. I'm not upset by this, in fact as recently as a year ago I would not have even thought of attempting this with a smartphone. So I just chalk it up to reaching the limitations of where things are at this moment. I will be interested to explore the Android update to which you referred and maybe that will greatly improve things. Under normal circumstances, I'm still amazed at the capabilities are these cameras.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Kemby13:
Nice to know you're calm :), it was nothing more than a figure of speech - i bet you already knew that ;)

Anyway, i wrongly asumed i was dealing with a rookie but it's nice to see you know a great deal about night photography... As i sad, i really doubt Pixel has better optics or camera hardware in general in comparison to a Galaxy S10/N10, it all comes down to software as we all know. IMO, Google has mastered night photos and now astrophotography mainly because of their Ai software/hardware technology and ofcourse the sheer experience. They are after all "in the forefront of AI"... Also, i believe Samsung could do something similar if they wanted, it all depends on the market and popularity of that specific feature. They don't lack the funds as they invest billions in R&D. Ofcourse i could be wrong, this is just my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] SoNic67:
Which lens/sensor are you using for this? Telephoto lens/sensor is weaker in low light situations (smaller sensor, smaller aperture).

I have also an S7 Edge and the night mode of the S10 is indeed comparable (identical sensor?). But that's only the normal wide sensor/lens!

Specs S10 main:

12 MP, f/1.5-2.4, 26mm (wide), 1/2.55", 1.4µm, Dual Pixel PDAF, OIS

12 MP, f/2.4, 52mm (telephoto), 1/3.6", 1.0µm, AF, OIS, 2x optical zoom

16 MP, f/2.2, 12mm (ultrawide), 1.0µm, Super Steady video

Specs S7 main:

12 MP, f/1.7, 26mm (wide), 1/2.55", 1.4µm, Dual Pixel PDAF, OIS
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
LOL, I would bet money that the average buyer of the S10 even knows or cares what astrophotography is. If it's that important to someone then I'd suggest researching phones and buying one that does this rather than being disappointed in something the phone wasn't designed for. Hell, that Samsung engineer sitting in that little cubicle in Seoul, South Korea probably doesn't give a rat's a** whether that phone will take pictures of the stars or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Ndaoud360:
What about Gcam mod, that has built in astrophotography which I think works only on Android 10 for some version of Gcam.
