[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
Try reading the OP. They have not unlocked the bootloader, so can't flash anything.

---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

Your only other option is to EDL flash the phone yourself, with the paid for help from someone with a Xiaomi authorised account.

This requires you to open up the back of the phone to access the test point pins near the battery. Then using the pins to put the phone in EDL mode. You will then need to allow someone with an authorised account to remotely connect to your PC, so that they can flash your phone with their authorised account. The price varies, but I've heard lately it's around US $30-40.

There's a few guides on these forums on how to do all this. However, XDA won't allow advertising of paid services, so XDA mods have been deleting all posts containing the contact details of people who can actually flash the phone. To get the contact details, find recent posts from users that have successfully done this and PM them, to ask for the contact details of the person they used.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] ayziaa:
thank you for taking the time to reply. But after a day of trying everything I could I decided to send back the phone. It's on is way to amazon, they either gonna be able to fix it or send me a new one. I don't care at this point.

I just don't understand why I was unable to unlock bootloader.

And why would my phone accept to flash a zip from a fonctionning system that would destroy it. What amaze me the most is that MIUI didn't wan't to flash global MIUI zip of MIUI 12 but was ok with flashing from MIUI 12 to MIUI 11 knowing all that antirollback security. Mind blown!

I'm about to bring back my htc shift too... anybody in 2020 with any luck installing windows 10?
[Shift General] Flanimal:
I ran with Windows 10 until recently, but had to give up on it as it was too bogged down by background updates and telemetry. If you can turn everything off it should be usuable, but I reverted back to WIndows and decided to use my Shift as a permanently offline retro machine.
[Shift General] johnybigode:
Your sir, are the BEST.

Cant make touchscreen work :(

Only in SnapVue
[Shift General] Flanimal:
Don't worry, the touchscreen will eventually work in Windows 7&10 eventually, you just have to keep faffing. Once it works, it keeps working forevermore.

I can't remember the specifics, but I would recommend to keep doing the following in no particular i.e. random order:

install "VistaECDrvV"

install Intel VGA Driver

Install "TouchScreen"

run resolution changer exe (or change the resolution from the shift control centre)

If you keep trying the above and have no joy, you may have more luck with the Sherry graphics driver, which seems to be more sophisticated (it allows Flight Simulator X to run!)

At some point it might start blue screening, but just keep doing the above in various different order and eventually all will be well. If necessary boot into safe mode to undo whatever caused the bluescreening and try a different order.

The fact that the touchscreen is working in SnapVue shows that there is no hardware issue.

It will eventually work, but how much time you want to spend trying is up to you.

Which OS are you running by the way? I'm running Windows 7. Windows doesn't work with the wifi driver without further faffing, covered elsewhere in this forum, but I can point you directly to it if need be.

Good luck and have fun, and if the fun stops, stop!
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] blowy666:
Hello everybody,

I own my Note 9s for a week now, and so far most things are fine.

But I've noticed a strange behaviour...the permissions I gave to my different apps are resetted randomly.

Means, sometimes when I start an app, it asks me again for give permission for using storage, for example.

Anyone an idea, why this would happen?

Have checked to turn off battery save mode for the apps, gave them all needed permissions, but the "reset" still happens randomly after 2,3 days...
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] ascender13:
Have the apps updated ? That could be the cause
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] blowy666:
No, have deactivated auto update on the playstore.

I guess it's a MIUI thing, or one of my apps has permission to change system settings and is doing stuff in the background.

Well, in 2 days I can unlock my device, then I will flash the Xiaomi EU ROM and then watch if it still happens...
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] Vincent Foxx:
Same happens to me, specially camera if you adb uninstall the stock gallery it ask to choose default gallery app once in a while.

I recommened using a different rom since miui 11 is full of bugs like that. The rom i'm using has fewer bugs then the current stock one but their not as annoying as resetting app prefrences.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andres-h1:
Hi. We're currently putting the finishing touches on our calling app (dialer, spam detection, contacts, call log etc) and we've run into a bit of an issue. Google won't allow our app to be uploaded to Play Store because there's something wrong with the way we ask for runtime permissions.

Google's message:

We currently show the user a popup with an explanation before asking for permissions. If the user denies, we show another explanation popup (rationale) and ask again. If the user then denies again, we let them use the app without the features that use these permissions.

Permissions used:

android.permission.INTERNET
android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
android.permission.CALL_PHONE
android.permission.READ_CONTACTS
android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS
android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG
android.permission.WAKE_LOCK

One version did actually get approved but after that it went back to being denied. Nothing permission-related was changed tho. We're running out of ideas and Google hasn't provided any support so far either. Hoping we can get some help from here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I think concerning the granting of permissions of an app is explained here exhaustively.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andres-h1:
True. We have done everything accordingly as well as tried several different approaches to displaying rationales, explanations etc but nothing seems to work. I think the issue might not be the way we ask for permissions but something else. Google says that showing call history, contacts etc is not the core functionality of our app. So I'm thinking it might have something to do with our intent filters in our manifest or something.

Edit:: So I did some more research on this and it seems like Google also checks the Play Store description for keywords related to being a calling app. We did not have any keywords that said this. Refreshed the descriptions and hoping for the best.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] SteenC:
I have installed the newest version of Lineageos 17.1 on my Galaxy S8, and so far its looks good:D Greta job done with the rom.

On stock rom, it was possible to have a clock on the lock screen, so time could be seen without doing or touching the phone/screen..

Is that possible on the costum rom? I haven't so far, not been able to find that feature. If not, will it perhaps be possible in the future?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] codeman76:
Hello,

I have a Alldocube iPlay 10 Pro. It runs on arm64 and I tried to install the Treble roms (or Lineage) :

I succesfully unlocked the device with fastboot flashing unlock and flashed a rom with fastboot flash system from the phhusson github with treble. I also tried the lineage builds for arm64. I didn't try anything with TWRP as I cannot find a build for the Alldocube iPlay 10 pro.

Unfortunately the device always ends up in a bootloop.

In an attempt to make the device work again, I tried restoring the original firmware from the alldocube site.

When I use the SP Flash tool, it does not find the device (does it work when you bricked your system partition?). When I try flashing the bundled system-signed.img with fastboot flash system, it shows me a bunch of errors:

If it is useful for anybody with the same problem, I was finally able to flash the stock rom with SP Multi Port Download tool by changing ScanComportType=0 to ScanComportType=1 in the SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.ini before starting the program up.

I'm still interested in installing TWRP or LineageOS / Project Treble / Android One on this tablet, which should be doable as it supports Project Treble. If anybody has a clue why the tablet didn't boot, or anybody has the same tablet, let me know!

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andys4c:
Hello there. Today i found my old Huawei G6 in a drawer and i wanted to use it as a backup phone. But when i tried to power it on i would get a recovery, boot image failed. So i searched and finded that i need to put a firmware on SDcard and then hold some buttons and flash it. But i was stoopid and downloaded the B189 firmware which is famous for bricking devices. The phone updated, rebooted and was dead. It didnt react to buttons or combinations or even charger. I tried Qfil which was succesful but still the phone doesnt power on. Then i tried Huawei Smartphone Multi Download Tool that would say that port isnt ready. Even some chinese programs i getted reccomended. The phone is in Qualcomm HS-USB-9008 mode. Thanks for any anwsers.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] valor77:
When you get no audio from the headphones (with your adapter), is the sound coming from your phone's speaker? Usually when those types of adapters aren't getting the sound through, it will come through the phone's speaker. You might want to try the HTC adapter that came with the phone with a 2.5MM phone stereo headset. The phone seems to be very sensitive with regard to audio coming through adapters and other types of headsets...

What about YouTube, Gmail, Google Maps, Game save data from GMS? i know there are work arounds just wondering how you have found it?

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

To answer your question, GMS stands for Google mobile services and HMS is Huawei mobile services. This is what connects your info, cloud storage ect. The best way to look at it is like swapping from an Android phone to an iPhone.
[Huawei Developers] chrisftlse:
Not a sad jump from Android to Apple... It is not at all the same...

US government tries to save their weird and bullsh.t companies as they are now frighten about Chinese capacities.

For that they forced Google to stop providing GMS to Huawei new device.

This forcing and speeding Huawei to find alternatives which will lead to a sooner death to the US companies ?.

What a good bet ?.

The main thing is that you will not have Gplay, Gdrive, etc... But HMS is growing their catalog for their users.

Everything is not there yet but by searching a bit you will find all apps needed (even those which are using GMS certificate such as Netflix).

Apk Pure is storing lots of Apk apps with different version and some of them are working well and as it should on newer Huawei devices.

The game is lost by the US (just by comparing how many innovations and brevets submitted)

US is far below... And this game will toll the bells earlier and very pleased with it.

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] carq:
I recently purchased the device stated in the title. For reference, here is a stock photo and some others:

Sadly, there is an issue with the front LCD. It shows the time correctly, and text such as "MP3" when opening the music app. However, anything else causes weird behaviour. For example, adjusting the volume level, and displaying tracking information. You can just about see what should be there, but many other segments are also active.

Here is a video of the issue: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AhrnbqpWLWvmjJwc-s4biI0t4rQWFQ?e=KuN0g9

I have tried a few different MCU versions (all "LM", but not all of them work, some stop the front panel from functioning).

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might fix the display issue, or perhaps knows whether it is a hardware issue or not?

Hi all.

I have been using the P40pro for a while now and have used App gallery and Petal search. I am just wondering if anyone has found any better ways to get apps on the device maybe something that auto updates apps as manually isn't that bad. But it is not just overly convenient.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] ChrisHtube:
If they where downloaded from App gallery they will auto update or you can set to manual if you prefer. With petal it is a manual job but realistically this allows you to check what the update is actually for an if you want to do it or wait for the next one, so there is a plus side to this.

If you are interested and want to learn more, check out our development guide at Interesting app, but I recommend that you also consider a broader security analogy if you are linking an app to financial transactions.

Namely, pay attention to two-factor authentication, with the generation of a one-time password. The basis is directly two factor authentication solutions by providing a security function. Today, 2FA service provides top-level protection and 2fa platform as its Foundation contributes to this. providing a multi-factor authentication solution using the uniqueness method.
