[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] CyberpodS2:
Just an open question to the community, and specifically to devs that compile ROMs.

On other devices I've owned, someone smarter and more energetic than me would be turning monthly updates into flashable zips.

I'm not sure there is any real advantage since getting back to stock would still require fastboot if and when TWRP could be installable.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw it out there if for no other reason than to have it shot down as unfeasible or start some discussion. Lol
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] wrongway213:
I'm pretty sure the reason this is done for other devices is simply that flashing is often complicated, or to be more blunt, a huge pain. Flashing a Pixel is about as easy as it gets & Google actually supports it being done on their website with tutorials. The other main reason I see, you already listed - without installable TWRP, you're still tethered to a PC for non-OTA updates. Given the simplicity of fastboot flashing and the impossibility of on-the-go flashing without installable TWRP - It just seems like it would be extra steps.

Hey!

does any one know how can you edit the call logs, like adding new calls to it, or changing calling times and durations or dates ;)

thanks in advance

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] twfry:
Have been unable to get Titanium Backup to work to migrate apps from my old phone to a new pixel 3. From searching around it sounds other people have had issues, but I have been unable to get TB to work.

Phone is newly flashed with Android 10 and google's factory images, after installing Magisk Manager to manage root I've tried the following:

a) install TB through the app store, if I do this TB hangs on restore, but if I install the app through the marketplace and then restore data in TB, that seems to work is some (not many) cases

b) install an older version of TB from apkmirror which was suggested in some threads, TB just hangs if I try that.

This thread suggested disabling "Verify apps over USB" would solve the above issue, but I had no luck. https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/issues-restoring-titanium-backup-t4011085 and in this thread had the same issue https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3/help/pixel-3-setup-restoring-backups-fails-t3919228

Any suggestions on other things I should try to get TB to work? I've used TB for every phone migration for 10 years now, but am struggling to get it to work. Maybe another backup/restore tool is better, or maybe I should factory reset to Android 9 and stay on that. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] hg42:
I couldn't restore a lot of my ~300 user apps, e.g. Zoom, Youtube, Advanced Root Checker, GMail.

All these apps are restoring for ever (hanging while restoring).

A lot others worked without any problem.

The main solution was to disable "Verify over USB" in developer settings.

I restored most of my apps with Indirect method, but later used Direct method (and tried on some of the others), which didn't make a difference.

However the suggested "Disable Play Protect" (in play store) didn't make a difference for all of my apps.

Youtube and Android Auto were the only ones that still didn't restore (still hanging), even with both options disabled.

Even the interactive method didn't help here.

May be this also affects other Google Apps like GMail, but I installed those manually from Play Store and connected them to my account, so I don't know.

I then installed Youtube via the market link and restoring via "data only" worked fine.

When looking at an app backup by Total Commander (just for fun) or Xplore, I see that all these apps seem to have split apks, so I guess that's the real reason.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] luckana:
You just don't use titanium backup i use swift backup pro it does the same job for me
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] david1023:
I was able to restore TB backups after a full factory image wipe and Magisk installation.

I had to disable both "Verify Over USB" and "Play Protect" from the Play Store to get it to work. Hope this helps.

Thanks for this suggestion. Ti Backup has not worked on my Pixel 3 - ever.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Sawrav7:
I have a redmi Note 9,My phone everything is fine but only the problem is when I play games like clash of clans,pubg mobile or anything else it's lags too much.. But using other apps like Facebook you tube, Chrome, it's work fine... But in games..

I can't even play the games.. But if I play those games by using screen recorder it's runs fine as usual..

Don't know where the problem is. It's a new phone I buy it yesterday..

Is anyone know any solution? Or is there anyone facing this issue.?

Or is this problem is on only in my phone..?
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] JustineXda27:
Currently facing the same issue in games like CODM and PUBGM it's kinda frustrating though still hoping to get optimized soon by devs due to the new processor the RN9 had. I believe only the RN9 has g85 currently. If more phone manufacturers equip this processesor expect to experience better gaming with this phone so that it reaches it's promised performance boost on it's predecessor g80.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] thesoupthief:
I've only played 5 or 6 games of pubg on my RN9 but haven't seen any lag

May not be significant but I haven't been using the Game Turbo feature (I used this first time I played and my battery level sunk like a stone, so switched it off)

Try doing the same and see if you still notice lag
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Sawrav7:
Temporary Solved..

For those..

who facing too much lag on games in redmi note 9..

.

just use "hide and move status bar"

in notch setting..your problem will be solved...

.

. if not then use screenrecorder while you playing games..

And wait for the next update..

i think those bug will be solved in next update...

Have a nice day..

[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Gayanchak165:
No need developer options or hiding notches

Do the following below

Settings-----Additional settings------Accessibility------make display size larger from smaller.

You can enjoy each and every games and applications without lags. And also you can feel this is not a phone issue.

This lagging problem is not a phone issue. The new mediatek helio g85 processor isn't fully optimized yet as it is a newly launched processor.

As you get closer to an object your phone is smart and it automatically switches to your macro lens. When you move close it's automatically assuming you want a high-quality close up picture

1. Lower shutterspeed. This however increases the brightness of the image.

2. Lower the iso setting. I usually use iso50. This will try to lower the brightness of the image.

3. If it's not dark enough, try reducing the aperture. This will help to reduce the image broths as well.

Play around with the settings until you get a nice photo.

For example, when i took photo of fireworks, iso50, shutter speed to 10 seconds, aperture to the smallest.. And most importantly, a tripod. But I did this on a dslr.. You can try it with your phone.

When i took a photo of a moving car at night, using similar settings except shutter speed at 2 seconds.

You can Google the relationships between shutter speed and lens aperture. They're is many good tutorials websites and even in YouTube. It's one of the basics of photography no matter which device you use, a point and shoot camera, dslr, slr, phone camera.. It's a skill you'll use in all photography. It's worth the effort to learn about it.

Let me make it much simpler for you

You will need a tripod be it any phone or anyhthing

Step 1: Set up your smartphone on the tripod.

Step 2: Switch your camera to manual mode. These were the settings we used:

ISO: 100—shutter speed: 30 seconds—Aperture: f/8 (if possible)

Step 3: Create trails of light by moving your light source around as the photo is being captured.

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickey Padge:
So the device was stock and working OK, but I wanted to upgrade to custom ROM's. I installed TWRP 3.4.0-0 and rebooted (after unlocking the bootloader first) and now the tablet only boots to TWRP, or Fastboot, or the other boot selection menu....

All flash attempts lead to the error "remote: unsupported command" I cannot flash anything. I am stuck. I can seemingly lock or unlock the boot loader, but that is it. I have access to TWRP, but I lack the knowledge of how to fix this (even though I have messed around with google devices before without issue)

I have seen people have fixed this before (fwtool adb shell?), but the instructions are vague and I find myself at a loss. At this point I would be happy just to be back to stock! :p

How to Bootloader Unlock (Part 1 of 2):

1. You will need a USB A to USB A cable (Example here)

2. You will need fastboot drivers on your PC

3. Unplug your clock

4. Plug the USB A to A cable into your computer and clock

5. Hold the volume + button and plug in the power cord

6. Keep holding volume + for about 20-30 seconds (It is slow to boot to fastboot)

7. On your computer in a terminal run, fastboot flashing unlock

Part 1 of unlocking is now done

AVB/DM-Verity Unlock (Part 2 of 2)

Unlocking the bootloader really does not give a lot to us because all the partitions are still being verified and the device will not boot if they don't match. Normally doing this on an Android Things device is not possible due to their Private key unlock system. But due to a leak, the private key for the Lenovo Smart Clock is available. Word of warning doing this causes the stock android things not to boot only the factory firmware located on Slot A will boot. Consistently if you don't AVB unlock the factory firmware on Slot A doesn't boot :p If you have already set up your device once the factory firmware is deleted and currently there is not a way to get it back (Hopefully will change soon).

If you are coming from part 1 you can start right away, if not you need to reboot to fastboot again.

1. Extract the downloaded AVB Unlock zip

2. Run this command in terminal

at_auth_unlock.exe cube_unlock_credentials_v2.zip

3. Wait till it finishes

4. Keep in mind the stock system does not boot properly with AVB off (It is weird some UI elements work but the boot animation never goes away)

5. To relock AVB in the future run the following command:

fastboot oem at-lock-vboot!

You can also unlock the boot loader simply with what's below... device does boot with this btw

fastboot flashing unlock

Although I've been messing with the device quite a bit. Plug in a usb keyboard, and you can get a web browser to recognize it and go to websites and such using the touch screen as a cursor, but you can't download APK files and install them and such. I've NEVER had the device recognized by ADB, so I can't pass commands from there either.
[Google Home] deadman96385:
Just doing step one does not actually get you anything because if you flash something that isn't stock on the verified partitions it will not boot until you flash back the stock one. I have gotten adb to show up but not properly so it is offline. Still hacking away at it trying to get it to go so i can more easily debug TWRP and make edits to the system.
[Google Home] TechX1991:
Ahhhhh got it. I couldn't find anything when I was messing with it like you've found with those commands.
