I did the Nov/Dec update and didn't notice any gestures issues. What specific issues did you found ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bsg411:
I installed a clean flash (full factory Image) of the January update. There major takeaways:

1) Titanium Backup does not batch restore files....at least not for app+data. I had to choose either small batch clusters to restore or do them one by one or download from the play store and restore data using Tb. Super PITA. Not sure why this doesn't work anymore.

2). Doing the clean wipe fixed a feature I was having issues with. RCS was not working on my corporate WiFi but it does now.

3). Unfortunately now all my notifications (including the incoming call screen) now come thru as a heads-up/peek notification and if I turn that off I get no notifications at all!! I can't figure out how to get normal notifications back. It is really frustrating.

Anyone else notice these thing or now how to fix them?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jlokos:
I think 1) is a known problem; I've had this issue on both stock and custom roms. TiBU needs to update for Q; with respect to 3), when my screen is locked and i receive a phone call, it shows the incoming call screen. Check out your settings>apps & notifications and see if you don't have something toggled off.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graziano68:
Hello

I'm searching an hidden mic voice recorder app for android with these features

- It can be installed and uninstalled from Android console/command line (i.e. by using Termux) or by FTP and it should not have an icon once installed (neither invisible). OR it can be installed using apk but it should not have an icon (neither invisible),

and possibility to uninstall it from console/command line or FTP .

- it should be able to record from time A to time B , possibly by setting a cronjob in console or by editing a txt file using console/command line .

- it should save the audio file in external sd

- it should be fully silent if any error arise , for example disk full in external SD .

does exist it?

Thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattgyver:
Thread closed.

While you may have the nicest intent on why you would want that, with those specific things, that raises a question of legality. Why would you want to have an app that can be installed remotely without a user knowing it or knowing of it's existence? XDA is not a forum to discuss anything that could cause legal trouble for XDA or anyone using XDA.
[Amazfit] aniketx:
Hello everyone!

Earlier I had Amazfit pace, and now I have Amazfit GTR 42 mm (after Pogo pins of pace gave up and it would no longer charge with no repair options available, but that is a separate topic).

I was using these two watches paired with Mi A1 for ~ 2.5 years and it had sleep and heart rate data from both these watches. Now I bought new phone (redmi note 8) and paired the existing watch (GTR) with it with existing google account (after unpairing it from Mi A1, and reseting to factory defaults)

But I don't see all the data coming for my sleep and heart rate from old days and it just brings new data since I bought the GTR, why so? and how can I get the old data back in the app in the new phone? If I open the app on my old phone, I can still see the entire data for old days when I had pace. I have tried copy pasting com.huami.watch.hmwatchmanager folder from old phone to the new one, and the free version of the notify app to export and import the data, but nothing seems to help.

Any pointers are highly appreciated!
[Amazfit] ZduneX25:
This historical data relays on cloud so copy/ paste will not help. No ideas what could be the issue, but just to mention amazfit servers kinda suc*s lately. I lost almost 3 years old data as well and it happened out of nowhere.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Benjive:
I've had this phone for 6 months and not noticed this

Can someone tell me if this is normal. Some people are saying it's the camera and it's normal. My phone has a had a few drops, nothing that bad or enough to even dent the phone.

Is there a definitive answer on this?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] :
Yes, it's normal and it is the camera, because it has OIS, am I right?

We only have EIS (electronic image stabilization). But I think too, it's the camera.

Edit: Though if it shouldn't move due to electronic stabilization, it shouldn't make sound either. My model (A505FN) is quiet for shake.

I have FN too and for shake it's quite, only when turining on/switching cameras or when I hardly bang the phone

Dont hesitate to ask man, thats why we are here

it should be getting it very soon. the releases come out in waves. These waves contain IMEIs and they are deployed via the wave to update. Or you could get it from sammobile and flash it yourself. That is the XDA way. Do, or do not. There is no try.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Muad.Dib:
Dear All,

By any chance has any of you succeeded into disabling play store without being root?

It used to be possible on older phones I owned, but I am struggling to find a way to do so on my new RN8PRO option to disable is 'disabled' :)

I have read many of those threads here, might have missed the solution, please forgive me if I did, would appreciate if you could point me toward the solution.

I also used that java app to debloat phones by uninstalling/disabling what I had no use for and it worked fine with most of the apps, just not play store which was not even listed at all.

Yes I dont use play store, Apps I install I get from other means (F-Droid etc).

Thanks in advance.

You can uninstall system apps through ADB / using fastboot.

https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-8-pro/themes/adb-fastboot-tools-debloat-safe-list-t4012255

I'm not sure though if it's safe to uninstall play store.

Sounds to me you'd be better of with xiaomi.eu ROM and debloat as much as you like.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] hmarder:
I have the 11.0.2.0 Global without Playstore running. Just deactivate or uninstall with adb "com.android.vending".

You can also still debloat the Google Play services "com.google.android.gms" and Google services framework "com.google.android.gsf" but this can cause problems with some apps that require the services.

You can use the Xiaomi ADB Fastboot tool for this, as the previous speaker mentioned. There you can add the apps you want to disable/uninstall via App Manager -> Add apps.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Muad.Dib:
Thanks [MENTION=4392166]donkyshot[/MENTION] & [MENTION=10374209]hmarder[/MENTION]!

Actually I am using google play services, that's google play store I have no use for.

So what I had to do simply was to Add the app ing App Manager from the Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot app "com.android.vending: Google Play Store" and disable from there (I prefer disabling those stuff to avoid dependencies problems afterward).

When I just get a new device I try to refrain myself from doing too many things I could not easily recover from, more especially If I am not 100% sure I want to keep the device or if I will return it.

That said I would have liked to have that one a bit earlier because from what I read it looks like xiaomi.eu stopped supporting this device right before I got it, and they removed links to ROMs even for stable Android Pie versions, I'll probably never be able to test those later on even If I would have probably liked to.

I'll try to find working links before they all go down....

Thx again for pointing me to the right direction.

Realme don't stick to any particular timeline or promise of updates. I did email Realme Europe before I bought my phone and I'll put the response below.

This review is of the Schnail Titan Series with Built-in Kickstand in Black for the Google Pixel 4 XL.

This case is almost exactly like the Schnail Savior Series with the addition of the kickstand. Having the kickstand made my holiday travels so much easier since I was able to stand the phone up hands free while watching movies. I also find that I use the kickstand while at my desk at work so that I can see texts and alerts at a glance instead of having to constantly pick up my phone. I love the fact that this case has a metal frame, and a nice and deep lip surrounding the phone. Before I switched to using the Schnail cases, I was using Spigen case as I have used them for the last few phones I have owned, but I was noticing that on this phone I kept chipping/cracking the tempered glass overlays that I use to protect my screen. Ever since I switched to this Schnail case, I haven't had that issue once, no matter how many times I have dropped this.

If you are looking for a very durable case that is up to the daily abuse that you might put your phone through, and also want a kickstand, then this is a case I can whole-heartedly recommend.

Seems odd. Did you try a different cable or USB port? Do you have the latest ADB / SDK on your PC?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] lukefgoogler:
Thanks for the quick reply, those are all good ideas. Before asking for help I tried 2 different USB ports and 2 different cables. I fully updated my Android Studio before starting this, which includes the latest SDK, platform tools, etc., I was current with everything before starting.I have no idea how to fix this, I haven't hears a lot of people having issues flashing the january update so I assume its something on my end. I DO use Magisk and Kirisakura custom kernel, but I dont know how to disable either one via fastboot, which is all I have available.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] swieder711:
Is there a way to disable Magisk via Fastboot? I was able install the December update with just -w removed. I had Magisk+modules enabled along with Kiris kernel installed. I haven't installed the Jan update yet because I am waiting for the new kernel.

Other than disabling Magisk, you might have to try installing the update with the -w option. Hopefully you have some good backups offline!

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Have you tried sideloading the OTA with the stock recovery?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] zopostyle:
To not lose data you need to flash the "Full Ota" image and not the factory one... Then you need to do nothing just flash it...

Also from your console output it seems that the image you downloaded is corrupted as it's missing files...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
The failure at product started during Q beta. To this day, I have seen nobody with an exact reason for it, but there is a fairly easy solution. When the error happens, don't unplug anything or even turn off command prompt. You are still in fastbootd. Press a key on the computer to get back to a command line. Go to recovery on the phone, and start an OTA sideload. If you don't already have the OTA downloaded, you will need to do that. Going from fastbootd to recovery will get you the ability to run adb sideload XXX from command prompt. It will run, complete, change slots and you will not lose data. I have had to do it a few times with my wife's P3. This month before running the flash-all (without -w), I flashed the Dec stock boot.img to both slots and then while still in BL ran the flash-all. Guess what? It took just fine with no product failure.

Hi friends,

I am an x-Trinity user (2 years) and an owner of a Diamond for almost a week now. I have flashed my phones so many times that I can't even remember and I always had the same problem after every flash.

RE-INSTALL MY FAVORITES APPS IN THE PDA !!!!!

Does anybody of you cookers has any solution available on how to avoid this? What I mean is could I somehow get an image of my phone apps before flashing and just recover the apps after flashing the new rom?

or

Is it possible to create an automated installation process of the apps that the user would like to have in his phone?

I am sure that this problem has bothered you as well and maybe we could find a solution to overcome it!

i'm a bit frustrated not just over the app installs but getting back the settings. Used to use SettingsSaviour (app made by someone here on xda) but it seems to not work with the vga display.. things are all messed up. It would auto-install cabs, and reload back most general settings, etc..

anyone got a solution for this? i was spoiled using it so never rounded up all the provisioning xml files and stuff that i need to get the device back to the way i want it..

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bengalih:
I answered some question on this in the SASHIMI thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=392983

The next version due out in a few days should work on the Diamond.

There will be two issues:

1) Formatting may be a bit off, as I layed everything out for VGA devices.

2) Auto Storage Card install won't work, since I designed that based on screen taps for a QVGA screen.

Once the new version is released, try it out and it should work with the above exceptions. If someone out there wants to work with me on getting some better parameters for those options to get it fully working on VGA devices then we can probably do that.

You can post in the SASHIMI thread with any more questions/comments.

S10+:

Uninstalled bixby using adb. Button still remains.

The orientation of volume keys and that damn bixby button that i had to create a samsung account to disable it. While powering the device i need to grab the other side with my fingers and squeeze which the volume keys are :confused:

Samsung phone app: on speaker screen sleeps after 10 or so seconds.

Found an option called smart stay. enabled that and found lift to wake option..

no way to disable face recognition to open up the screen to the lock screen. I end up hitting the power button to turn the screen on it gets turned on by seeing a face right after that I hit the button and it Powers off this is in a matter of seconds. can't break a habit of powering on the screen with the power button. And that's if the face recognition works. Sometimes it doesnt turn on. There is a way to disable this but face rec to unlock the phone has to be enabled, defeats the purpose.

Trying turn screen off, end up taking a screenshot.

Battery sucks.

When you grab the phone watching something horizontal, the palm covers the bottom speaker.

?Now i really hate s10+, no aptx hd support?

Android "10"

Autofill fighting each other, Android, google chrome and lastpass auto fill is a disaster.

i find myself double tapping on the screen, i see the button as an example get tapped & button gets like shaded as if pressed, gotta tap again.

The clipboard, select all moves from the original place and jumps to "more" for more clipboard options.

the cursor upside down gps logo drag is stupid, draws up a magnifying glass, very irritating.

voice to text is just bad.

Some times highlight something, the clipboard does not popup, gotta grab the page n scroll it, clipboard pops up.

Google suggestions & auto correction sucks.

Battery sucks.

No screen protector, holding down on a field to paste, gotta hold field 2 or three times for paste clipboard pops up.
