I turn it on using Advanced Config and GPS performance takes a sharp turn towards terrible...

I turn it off and GPS improves considerably.

Shoouldn't it be the other way around? I mean... A-GPS is Assisted GPS, right? Or is it Awful GPS? :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] s_kates81:
I guess you get it right buddy AGPS= Awful GPS
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] metalbrother:
Look, A-GPS you know what it is. To make it work, you have to use service providers software 'cause it works from cellular towers rather sat. itself.:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] aragornol:
Unless your provider support A-GPS you can`t get any benefit from it. That`s all.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] poedgirl:
I can use A-GPS here and get a fix very quickly - even inside a building so it is very useful for me. I haven't had any drop out issues either.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bwfcmadlad:
is there any particular service providers that it works well with?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Imaginati0n:
First time i turned on A-Gps and when i first used tomtom the delay was huge and was always loosing signal...then i discovered that was A-Gps too... i didnt know it was provided by the mobile service...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] metalbrother:
Tom Tom Only For GPS Not For A-GPS
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] metalbrother:
You gotto check with the provider in your country. Check the provider you with. Check on there website too. Good luck.:cool:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrnjolfse:
Hello, yesterday i bought a G4 and ive been having some battery drain issues(probably due to a 2016 battery in it), and i wanna root it(later, atm i just wanna test lollipop battery life) so i can use gltools etc, so i wanna go to Lollipop. I am using a H818P dual sim version, android 6.0 with v20h-AME-XX firmware. I downloaded LGUP and v10L software from storage cow

My anti-rollback is v0, but it also said its factory version is v20h, so im worried to flash this to the phone as i dont want it bricked since its my "new" phone that after a a battery replacement this summer i plan to use for a year or two.

Is there anything to worry about or is it all safe? Oh and 1 more question. I saw a thread for dual sim g4's and root but the v10L firmware links are dead and if anyone has them would they share, as im not in a position to install ubuntu on my pc atm

edit: this is next day, i decided to yolo it, i tried to flash it and LGUP gave me error 0x2000 invalid command response for v10L so i tried v10F but same issue. I have tried extracting the dll out of the kdz's before flashing but to no avail. Any ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duckhunt101:
Hello everyone, long time lurker hoping for some guidance.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, yes I know it is old.

I am trying different ROMs, RR & LOS, although there are pros to each.

I do not require root, and just a few basic apps, but I would like the best option for device security.

Between versions 16 and 17 of RR and LOS, I can get 1 but not the other, i.e If security patches are up to date I have no SELinux enforced, and vice versa

Is there a way I can 'patch' SELinux into RR or LOS???

I hope to hear from you, thanks in advance. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duckhunt101:
If anyone would kindly be able to give a brief run down of the functions and importance of the choices please;

SELinux - protects apps being naughy.. is this a problem if I only install a select trusted apps?

Android Security Patches - What exactly do they protect against?

Build signature - I understand that is because it is not an 'Official' ROM, but how important?

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Questions & Answers] scareferatis:
I was trying to root my BS2, but that TWRP you have on your website doesn't ask for my lockscreen password, thus does not decrypt filesystem and doesn't let me to pull boot image.

I saw a thread here with a link to an MP6 OTA image, but that waq guy is probably hacked or something. All of his threads now has some message about fools and madmen.

Could anyone help?

You know the Back key directly next to the home key? I have absolutely no use for it so I want to assign it to something else.

Is there a way?

Well, AEButton Plus doesn't work when TF3D is active, so let me elaborate:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDude1179:
Can anyone recommend a good lightweight stable daily driver right now ? I don't need much in the way to extra features, I've gone through a few roms lately and either get instabilities or sluggish performance after a couple weeks, just looking to run something fast and stable for the summer. Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] skipper2342:
I have already tried many roms, from Android 8.1 to 10 and I think that the most stable and functional rom is Oreo AospExtended ROM V5.8 (by thp@1997). In combination with Pico GApps and Ethereal Kernel you can get smooth and reliable smartphone:). Mido is old and not fast enought so there is no point to installing something heavier:rolleyes:.

ROM's with 4.9 kernel look stable and very smooth.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDude1179:
Thanks I was thinking about going back to 8.1 anyway I've found the 10 roms kinda sluggish in comparison so far.

Latest Pixel Experience Official for me, not the plus edition.

Reliable for my daily use.

It depends tho but i still recommend it, latest Pie version also rock stable but i like systemwide dark theme for my eyes ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] AviralSri:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Noter2017:
But that ROM hasn't been updated for a year now.

I also use AOSiP 10 for a couple of weeks now and it's perfectly stable and has a very good battery life
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] AviralSri:
Does AOSiP has the LTE issue solved. That is the bug I have seen in majority of the Android 10 ROMs. I tried Havoc 3.6 - it was pretty great too, but due to this bug only I had to rollback to Pie.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Noter2017:
Due to COVID I spend most time at home currently using WiFi but when I get out, LTE is working fine for me.

Which bug do you mean?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] AviralSri:
When I put my 4g volte Sim in slot 1, I can use mobile data perfectly but cannot make or receive calls. Call gets ended immediately when I try to make one. When I put my Sim in slot 2, then calls and sms work fine but data connectivity does not seem to work. Play store shows download pending for infinity.

And after you turn aeroplane on and then off, network won't work at all.

I have experienced this issue in havoc 3.6 and lineage 17 roms. And others are reporting that other android 10 custom roms have same issues.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Noter2017:
I only have 1 sim card which is always in slot 1. Mobile data and calls (including volte) work.

Playstore is also fine. Apps start installing immediately

Make sure to flash the lastest firmware (I use global stable) before flashing the rom
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] AviralSri:
Thanks for reply. But I already have latest firmware global stable 11.0.2.

I will try AOSiP rom soon to check.

i got this from a friend in Canada (i live in the states) was surprised i was able to get the SIM Unlock code but not sure how much more usefull past end of 2019 actuall cell service will be on this as 3G is shutting down by providers in my area by Jan 1st 2021). I Managed to root it Easily (Towelroot/Kingoroot)but notice theres custom roms avilable for this aging phone./ ( wouldnt even use this for everyday use, i have a galaxy A20 as my daily driver as it were,)

Going thru the Service menu, and looking at options it does sadly show the bootloader is in an "No" state for unlocking. Is there a means to force this so i can flash TWRP&LineageOS?

Hi All

Noob too the tab scene (paradoxically developing a rom module to "reasonable success" haha)

Found found the time to put a guide together following updating to BTF2 firmware and installing TWRP in one flash.

This has probably been posted before but hopefully its useful nonetheless

Prerequisites

- May security patched TWRP image - its highly advisable to make sure your TWRP and any kernels used match the security patch date of your firmware use This awesome online tool thanks [MENTION=10496119]evdenis[/MENTION] - Mentalmuso's TWRP is running perfectly on mydevice patched to may with BTF2 firmware

-VBmeta.img from Mentalmuso's tar

- BL, CP, HOMECSC and Magisk patched AP with the May patched TWRP renamed as "recovery.img" and replacing the stock recovery and the VBmeta.img from Mentalmuso's tar replacing the stock one

- Multidisabler 2.3 linked below thanks [MENTION=7187684]ianmacd[/MENTION]

Process

1 - Backup anything you need to keep onto external SD as you will need to format internal storage to get TWRP working.

2 - Reboot to download and open odin - uncheck auto reboot and then load BL, Magisk Patched AP, CP and HOMECSC (from BTF2 firmware)

3 - Flash the files and when done hold vol down and power to exit download and immediately hold power and vol up until in initial TWRP screen (after holding it whilst it reboots you'll end up at the screen where it asks you if you want to allow system modifications) Check the box and swipe right

4 - You'll notice by going into install that your internal storage folders are now nonsense - go to wipe in TWRP then Format data and type yes then enter - your internal storage will be wiped (hence having to backup) but your internal storage will now be usable.

5 - Immediately flash the multidisabler 2.3 zip and then reboot recovery - You are now fully updated and have TWRP installed and working

6 - i have a personal stock debloated rooted base that I use for installing my rom module on - linked here for

T865 ONLY

- wipe data, system, vendor, cache and dalvik and then flash the base zip (stock rooted based on BTF2 DBT firmware) - FOLLOWED BY MULTIDISABLER ONCE MORE - reboot and set up :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] elner0:
Hopeloos ....

Thanks.

It didn"t directly help. But now I know I didn"t do whats needed, for rooting my 865 lol

Any idea where I can find how to root specificaly my tab. Already rooted smartphones but this tablet seems a bit different. Or can you help me?

Downloading and looking at your multidisabler zip, seems you are dutch. So am I

Thanks for reading and hopefully waiting your respos

PS: om moedeloos van te wordena ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] subworx:
Hi, thank you for the short guide.

Could you post expanded steps please?

I don't want to f' things up.

All clear and done, took 3.4.0-gts6l and patched it to May 2020.

Found that Magisk patched AP also has an empty VBmeta.img inside.

As Magisk on Samsung devices installs into recovery.img instead of boot.img (see https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#additional-info), won't I kill Magisk if I overwrite the recovery.img inside the Magisk patched tar? Should I first add the recovery to the AP before Magisk patching it?

Should manage to do that :P

If it won't work, I'll give that a try.

Again, thank you very much for this thread.

Cool any issues pop into the 420 telegram chat. Im working for next 5 hours but we can help there if you're stuck
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] subworx:
Yay, stuck at the Samsung logo (after bootloader warning and "unofficial software" nag).

Followed all steps to the letter.

Created 3 APs:

- Stock magisk patched

- Stock magisk patched with replaced recovery.img

- Unpacked AP, replaced recovery.img with TWRP, repacked, then magisk patched

I managed to boot one variant (can't remember which) into safe mode somehow, but only once.

Trying to restore TWRP backup now.

I hate Samsung :P

Edit: At least the TWRP restore worked fine and the tablet booted

Edit 2: Played around again. This time flashed full stock BTF2 firmware. Now everything that contains a modded vbmeta fails. Let's see if I can get anything to work again.

Edit 3: Any non original vbmeta now fails to start at all.

I hate Samsung even more.

(partition recovery

Reason recovery: Error verifying vbmeta image: invalid vbmeta header (6)

CUSTOM recovery

If you get stuck at SAMSUNG screen again, try and force a reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhill110:
Why don't I see a CP file in my firmware file?

All that's in there is :

AP

BL

CSC

HOME CSC

************************

T860 wifi

Do I just leave the CP slot blank?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] subworx:
Ok will do. If I can get myself to try that whole thing again, that is: TWRP backup to external SD alone takes more than 1,5 hours :confused:

Thank you.

Edit: Another thing I found: after flashing everything, my internal storage is *not* scrambled. Still formatted it last time around, though, but not sure if that would absolutely be necessary. Think the original rooting instructions on here (cannot find them any more) included installing "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_05.21.2019.zip" which should remove the need for formatting.

Looks like a broken download. Where did you get that from?

Both T865XXU2BTC7_T865OXM2BTC7_DBT and T865XXU3BTF2_T865OXM3BTF2_DBT contain AP, BL, CP, CSC, HOME_CSC.

Possibly try sammobile, they should have complete ROM archives, although they're slow as hell on non-premium.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhill110:
Well that's interesting... I paid the $$ for faster downloads from Samobile. An hour is far better than 12 or 13. It's where I got the file(s) in the first place.

I downloaded the file again just to be sure and it's the same thing. It works so what the heck.

I'm curious as to what that particular (CP) slot/file is...

Oh btw, I'm T860 wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] bartleby999:
CP is related to the Modem. Since your T860 doesn't have a 3G modem chip, you don't need the CP file.

I *think* that's correct anyway.
[General Questions and Answers] Sspooks4:
I can't find any tutorials or articles on how to install Magisk on this phone, if possible could someone please direct me to where I should go?, I'm a little new to using Magisk but I have rooted my old Samsung phones.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There are basically only 2 ways to install Magisk.

1) flash a patched boot.img or a patched recovery.img created from your stock firmware. You will have to read the detailed explanation in the thread to determine exactly which .img you need to patch based on details about your device.

2) Flash TWRP on your device then flash Magisk.zip using TWRP recovery.

Go to the Magisk thread here and read the first few posts of instructions. It explains identifying certain details about your device to determine exactly which method you need to use.
[General Questions and Answers] Sspooks4:
Boot img

Hi, I can't find a boot.img file for my Oppo AX7 so should I go straight to twrp
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Did you go to the Magisk thread and read it thoroughly? Or did you only read my post and then ask me another question? If you haven't thoroughly read the Magisk thread, I have nothing to say to you.
[General Questions and Answers] Sspooks4:
I did go through the Magisk sub thread in this forum, however I did not find the information you said was there, the main Magisk post didn't give me the information of how to get what I need
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The Magisk thread instructions have links to other things that discuss things such as: whether your device is a A/B partition device, how to determine if your device is A/B or not and how to determine if you need to patch a boot.img, recovery.img or any other partition. Some devices require patching the stock boot.img and then flashing that .img to gain root and some devices require patching the stock recovery.img then flashing that .img to gain root. The process is not the same for "every" device. There are things about every device that require installing Magisk "this way" or "that way" depending on the device itself and how the software is structered/designed.

If you don't understand these details and how they relate to your device, you need to find other members here that have your device that do understand these details.

https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html

You need to be 100% certain about the details of your device to avoid installing Magisk incorrectly, failure to follow the correct procedure for your device can lead to a damaged/bricked device.

Well guys, I have tried to search over the forum, and read the wiki, yet I can't see any related topics, thus, I post here...

My problem is,

I have setup the hotmail account by following the steps in window live, in fact, it is functioning quite well except 1 thing, my device doesn't notify me when there is any new mail even though I have the sync. option set to "when item arrive", time range is "automatic". Plus I have assigned a sound effect for "New email" in Sound Settings.

My device currently running 1.37 CHT ROM.

Hope someone could help on this.

Seems to work if I'm logged into messenger, but I shouldn't need to be logged in all the time...

Is it a T-Mobile / MDA Compact IV thing or have I just not set up the phone right? (In the Comm Mgr, Microsoft Direct Push is greyed out and says it needs to be configured - is this something different, for maybe using Exchange?)

Anybody have any ideas?

How do you backup the photos/videos from the phone? Is there any easy and decent (not locked in to one service, etc.) way?

Until 2019 Google Photos was syncing with Google Drive. But now they removed it, and storing just in Google Photos doesn't sound great, no easy way to sync with PC, etc.

For now I am thinking to sync between the phone and PC via 100-200 GB Google Drive, and when it fills up move some photos/videos to other HDDs, etc. (I also backup to Backblaze B2 from my PC)

Is it possible to automatically sync the photos/videos taken by the phone (Huawei P30) using the standard Google Drive app? Or do I need something like FolderSync?
[General Topics] bobii:
I had been searching for several days to find a user-friendly application which I could use to simply back up and save readable versions of the file in my phone(Huawei Mate30). There are various tools available, many of them free and others which bear a small price tag,which will perform basic back-up and restore. I tried a few which did indeed create backup files. Some of them were useful for sending the backup files to a Google account, a Dropbox account or even directly to my computer via a USB connection. But it was often difficult if not impossible to translate the file into something readable. Then I found an application developed by the Mobikin company called “Backup Manager for Android”. I installed it on my trusty Windows, connected my phone via USB and it worked as I expected. This is the most satisfying one I have ever used and is worth trying.
