[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NONU4563:
Hey guys my grandad needed some help with his phone as it was extremely slow and practically unusable, I tried resetting it and it seemed fine but after connecting to wifi and with all the alactel bloatware it became slow again. I am very new to all this custom rom business so I would appreciate it if I could get some answers. Firstly, how do I install a custom rom, secondly will it make the phone faster and less bloated, thirdly which one should I install, and any more tips or advice thanks. The phone has 1gb of ram, 8 gb storage and a Mediatek MT6737M.

I have a concern. I recently figured out that with magisk. I was trying to install apk files with xposed enabled (no modules enabled/installed) and it always said the apk was corrupted. I disabled xposed right after I discovered it, and the apk could install. I wonder if there could be a fix for this. Thank you and have a good day!

In my previous Xperia phones, I was able to add or remove home screens by pressing and holding on a blank area of a home screen and scrolling to the end and pressing the "+".

I don't seem to have this option in the Xperia 1ii - does anyone know how to add extra screens (if it's even possible)?

THanks

That worked perfectly! Thank you so much for that.

Is there a way to get an extra screen to the left? (So that it can scroll left and right from the main home screen) Or, alternatively, set a particular home screen as the "main" home screen?

Download now from Google Play Store! If you like the App, please leave a review on Play Store! :)​

Hey Guys! Developer of Energy Bar/Ring/Notch here! Just done developing a cool little App which basically ports the Android 12 / iOS 14's indicators for camera and microphone access, to Android, all the way down to Android 7.0! :D (Bonus: GPS Location access monitoring included.)

Did you know that once you grant access to your phone's camera/microphone/GPS location to any third-party App, they can use it silently in the background?

And do you feel envious about the new iOS 14's privacy feature - shows an indicator whenever camera or microphone is accessed? Or you can't wait for Android 12's implementation of the same feature?

View attachment 5225195 Presenting Access Dots for Android, supporting all the way down to Android 7.0!

Access Dots, adds the same iOS 14 style indicators (few pixels light up as a dot) to the top right (default) corner of your screen whenever any third-party App uses your phone's camera/microphone/GPS location. Access Dots will be visible even on your lockscreen!

Configuring the App is as simple as enabling the Access Dots Accessibility Service. By default the App is configured to show iOS 14 style colored access dots - green for camera access, orange for microphone access and blue for GPS location. The App itself does NOT request for access to camera or microphone, however, to be able to monitor GPS access by any App, 'Access Dots' require GPS location permission.

​

Access Dots is in early BETA, under development, so far it has the following features:

● Display Access Dots whenever phone's camera/microphone/GPS location is engaged by a third-party App.

● Maintain an Access Log, which can be accessed from the App's main settings screen. The Access Log shows when the camera/microphone/GPS location was accessed, which App was in foreground at the time of access initiation and how long did the access last.

● Assign any color to either of the Access Dots.

● On Android 10+, Access Dots by default sticks beside your camera cutout (if your device has.) You can configure the location of Access Dots to the point of specifying X/Y coordinates.

● If your device supports 'Energy Ring - Universal Edition!' App, then you can wrap Access Dots around the punch hole camera as well.

● The size of Access Dots can be adjusted.

Access Dots integration with 'Energy Ring - Universal Edition!':

While it's free to change the Access Dots' color to whatever you want, consider making a donation to support the development and have access to few extra configurations like changing the 'size' of the dot or its location on the screen. :)

Note: Please make sure the App is whitelisted under any kind of optimization setting your device has, if the App is killed from background by the System, you may have to restart phone to get the Access Dots active again.

[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
is it possible to do it with the help of notification led instead of showing it on screen?
[Android Apps and Games] Stefan McSleaze:
Sadly a nessesary tool while so many apps take hidden access to cam or mic...

well done, a great idea that tool!!

A LED as alternative sign only single phones would have a benefit, except a OP7pro which has Horizon Light instead of, or similar phones

So your dots are the best choice as sinal or indicator ??

[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
Since this is using Accessibility Service can it introduce some lag? Especially in older devices.
[Android Apps and Games] innit:
Great idea. Would it be possible to add Location Access Dot as well?
[Android Apps and Games] jagan2:
I am considering all of the above ideas for future versions of the App! :)

Not planning at the moment, the App should be up on Play Store soon, due to COVID, the review is taking time I suppose.

I don't expect any, as the service itself doesn't listen for any kind of events from the App in use.

Usually the Apps doesn't/can't request Location access and automatically turn it off, so would be hard to isolate which App has accessed Location, may require some hacking around. Not planning for the time being.
[Android Apps and Games] Anit Rajput:
Its great idea. Is there workaround to use phone's own notification leds instead of statusbar.

Even if not. Its good as many apps suspicious asks for so many permissions.

[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] bobbified:
Is there any way to tell whether the Xperia 1ii is currently fast charging or slow charging?

Sometimes when I plug my USB-C cable into my Samsung devices, it'll says "Fast Charging" or "Charging". If it just says "Charging", i remove the plug and plug it back in and it often says "Fast Charging" (not sure if there's dust or a loose contact between the port and cable", but nevertheless, it indicates that the device is drawing a higher current and is fast charging).

Thanks
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] andixxx81:
I using super fast charger from samsung S20 into sony,but i never seeing " Fast charging" notif in sony
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] shock-UK:
No it doesn't differentiate.

But it uses usb PD to fast charge not quick charger.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] techyrock:
So I have Xperia 1 and when I connect a fast charger to it and it shows "charging" that means its fast charging and there is no way to tell? Because my S10 says it right on lockscreen, My oneplus 7 did with doublebolt on battery for dash charging even my xiaomi mi8 did say charging rapidly on lockscreen
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] nreuge:
Actually, Sony Xperia devices use the Qnovo adaptative charging to charge as fast as possible BUT not too fast in order to preserve the battery health. This is why the charge can be slower than other brands which don't care about the battery lifetime...
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You can tell by how much charge % is indicated per minute what mode it's in.

On a 10+ it's double the rate of snail mode in roughly the 30-80% range.

On the 10+ fast charge will not engage if the battery temp is somewhere below 60F (not sure of the exact temp). Other makes are probably similar.

Fast charging does no harm; high cell voltage (80+%) and high temperature are what degrades them.

Low temperature charging can permanently degrade them.

Battery should be above 72F before charging to prevent Li plating in the cell.

Never charge a cell if it's near or below 32F.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] nreuge:
Qnovo adapts the charging speed as a function of the battery temperature. It's a patented technology.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Your point? My point is you can readily tell which charging mode it's in by observing the charge indicator/time interval.

Assuming the ambient room temperature isn't extreme.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] nreuge:
It's not my point, it's well known that Sony Xperia uses the Qnovo technology. You can google it, it's documented...
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
And Samsung uses Qualcomm.

Niether lets you to set a charge level limit so both are equally hard on the battery in one of the most important charge parameters.

Does Qnovo chipset revert to slow charging if set to fast charge if temp is too cold?
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] Sho-Bud:
With Android 11, you can select 80 or 90 % maximum charge. I set it at 80, let's see tomorrow morning
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
That's pretty cool... if it works.

About time.

I aim for 64-70% most times though. An 80% lockout is certainly better than a 100% plate vaporizing charge.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] Sho-Bud:
Charging to 80% worked. Now I'll have to see if I get through 1 day at a single charge
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I run it down into the 40's then give it a 20% charge to bring back into the 60's.

Takes 10 minutes. That gives me 2-3 hrs SOT.

I simply charge when taking a break.

Theoretically even though it uses one full charge cycle worth of current throughout the day the actual damage to the cell is equivalent to 20% of a charge cycle.

Hi, i am an app developer and working on an AR application, i was testing my app same as usual everyday, then i realized AR not working same as last i tried, it is almost not work. I restored my changes back, panicked a while, i though i made something i shouldn't do, Then i tried other different AR apps from app store, the problem is not caused by me i guess, beacuse other ARCore apps not working as well. It happened after last software update. Is anybody getting same result as me ? I need help please any kind of comments would help me so much.

Hello Phantafun/fireblade20, i have the sprint model. And i download the V405UA20A Verizon firmware from lg fan club and as soon as i booted the phone it requested me to update to Android 10, note i do not have a Verizon sim.

If not done yet, on PC install the appropriate USB-drivers and re-boot PC

Connect phone and PC via USB-cable, check whether you can access phone via ADB: on Windows command prompt run

adb devices

If OK, download SuperSU Pro.zip and flash the ZIP

Hello, I installed both drivers but when I run adb devices it says "adb is not recognized as a internal or external command or bat"

Following the steps of manually installing driver I see some kind of warning in windows device management as you can check in this screenshot: https://ibb.co/gzVPbKQ

I tried to look for adb.exe but the one I found belongs to Xiaomi Mi9 phone which I used to remove Xiaomi Mi9 applications. I tried to run that adb executable but only detects Xiaomi phone and doesn't detect Orange Rise 52 phone.

What am I doing wrong?

EDITED: After installed those drivers, computer didn't recognize Xiaomi MI 9 phone, in some way destroyed Xiaomi Mi 9 drivers so even with system restore didn't work to recover a working Xiaomi Mi 9 connection so I had to restore a Aomei backup image so next try will be on a virtual machine where it doesn't affect these drivers installations to the ones I have or windows has. Is there any reason adb command is not working after installing adb usb driver for orange rise 52?

Hello again, I'm trying to reboot in fastboot but it doesn't work, phone boots normally.

I also tried a article I found that says you can also can start fastboot pressing up volume and power and stop pressing when bot appears but bot dissapears really fast that it's imposible stop pressing up and power, I only can see a menu in the phone that says recovery, is that fastboot? Also when I run command "fastboot devices" it doesn't detect anything because the phone didn't boot as fastboot using:

Up and power

adb reboot bootloader

Do you have any idea why is happening this?

I installed drivers from https://gsmusbdriver.com/orange-rise-52 but it doesn't seem to work with fastboot (computer detects it normally but not fastboot because I guess is not a driver problem but fastboot booting that is not happening)

If no su binary is found on Android, then you have no root. So all you at least have to do is to install su binary in Android's /system partition. This can be achieved using ADB.

The command sequence is as follows

adb devices
adb disable-verity
adb reboot
adb devices
adb shell "mkdir -p /data/local/tmp > 2/dev/null"
adb push c:\su /data/local/tmp > nul
adb shell "chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/su"
adb shell "-c '/data/local/tmp/su'"
adb shell "setenforce 0"
adb shell "mount -o rw,remount -t auto /system"
adb shell "cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/bin"
adb shell "mount -o ro,remount -t auto /system"
adb reboot
adb devices
adb enable-verity
adb reboot

The su binary is downloadable from here: download it and extract the version that matches your phone's CPU-architecture to root of computer's drive C:

Signals that phone's Android isn't a user-debug build. Looks that phone's Android can't get rooted. But I'm not sure of this: all the phone's I had/have in use had/have a user-debug type Android OS.

FYI: You can query build type of your phone's Android OS

adb devices
adb shell "getprop ro.build.type"

BTW

​

: Android OS comes as one of these 3 builds

eng - Engineering build comes with default root access.

user - User build is the one flashed on production phones. Has no root access.

user-debug - User debug build does not come with default root access but can be rooted.

Hi, thanks for your answer. I don't know what has happened but virtual machine is not detecting phone anymore, vmware workstation 15 pro problem. I was unable to see which's the problem. First started like 2 hours ago when physical machine without any changes didn't detect any of the phones, Xiaomi Mi 9 and Orange Rise 52. I checked windows device management and I saw that there was a problem with MTP driver, so I had to "update" (that's it's called in windows but I guess it installed it again) MTP driver for each phone. Now physical machine is detecting both but not vmware workstation 15 pro. I will keep checking it and I will try to run the command you adviced me.

In case Orange rise 52 is using a not compatible build, I will try again supersu method, but at the moment any of both will work until I get virtual machine detecting usb phone connection in VM -> Removable usb devices (it only appears 2 when I have 3 usb hard drives, one yubikey (hardware authentication) and identification card reader so it should detect 5 devices and it's only detecting 2).

[Android Head-Units] nile13mx5:
The only way to get a USB modem to work on Joying PX-5 seems to be to unplug and re-plug it into USB port after power-on. The modem simply doesn't connect otherwise. But it connects 100% of the time when unplugged and re-plugged. And after the car is restarted, we do the same dance again.

So... is there a way to automate this with something like Taker? I.e. turn the USB off and turn it back on? Joying is not rooted and I'd like to keep it that way if possible?

Perhaps there's another solution? I've seen USB cable with a physical on/off switch. I could use that, but it's not the most convenient way as Id like to keep the USB modem hidden out of the way.

Any hep, ideas?
