It would be nice to have this for alarms and event reminders. I've always wanted a few more options on snoozing reminders! Right now there is a huge gap between 1 hour and 1 day. I wish there were options for 2 hours, 3, and 6 hours. (or whatever..)

My idea is once you hit snooze it will pop up a full screen of options for how long you would like to snooze. If you are too tired to answer it or just don't answer it, it should have a default after x seconds with no answer.

What do you guys think?
[General Topics] CRE:
I'm not fond of the multiple interaction concept with regard to snoozing... Perhaps for appointment reminders, but not for alarms.
[General Topics] DrWatson2005:
I'm for that. A very nice idea!

Non-Human? :confused:

Anyways...the actual iPhone S2U has a keypad lock on it also. You slide it, then the keypad fades in and requires you to put in the passcode
[General Topics] Tiramusi:
Would be nice if a Alarm cannot be "dismissed" by just one single click.

I have the incredible ability to snooze my alarm without remembering later... got me already into a lot of trouble :D
[General Topics] juiceppc:
Good ideas. As for the increasing alarm can't you just edit a .wav to do that?
[General Topics] CRE:
What I had intended by that is a system where you could specify that the first time it goes off it plays the sound at a certain level, let's say half volume. Then each time it goes off after a snooze the volume increases 10%.
[General Topics] Noonski:
Good idea i must partly agree.

Maybe you guys can even pull it off using the XDA resources to make this yourself.

Sorry about post number 13#, i like to call it evidence.
[General Topics] CRE:
Alright, you know, I'm not even sure what was meant by that statement, however you need to settle down and relax. :( It's a bit late to go back over the thread, but you need to realize that not one of the persons responsible for dragging this thread through the mud was anything better than regular old fashioned users. No mods or admins contributed.

In all honesty, Noonski, did us a big favor. This thread was heading for the trash, he stepped in, moved it somewhere neutral and cleaned it up. He didn't have to, he didn't have to take the time to salvage it. ;)

Attempting to place blame on the administration and foster anti-establishment sentiment is only going to prove an even greater disservice to the rest of us.

Be civil, accept that the moderators and administration do indeed have the final say in this PRIVATE venue and I'm sure you'll be treated fairly. Hell, be nice and polite and perhaps we may just get a venue for the type of discussion we would like to see...

Ok? :)
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] nakk:
I recently upgraded from the original Pixel XL to Pixel 4A. Ever since receiving the phone, I've been experiencing a strange battery drain issue that did not occur on the original Pixel XL. It is only experienced overnight when the phone is not in use.

I have an automated routine setup for overnight charging that will turn on my wall socket (to charge the phone) when the battery is at 15% and turn it off at 80%. If plugged in in-between those values, it will not manipulate the wall socket until it reaches one of the thresholds. I used this setup for the Pixel XL which greatly extended the battery life & usage of the phone.

In this charging scheme, the phone charges as expected with the socket on. Once the phone triggers the wall socket to be off, it stops charging. Hours later after waking I have noticed the battery is lingering around 40-50%, quite a big drop from 80%. Looking at Accubattery, the phone did not enter deep sleep mode at all. BBS also confirms this and indicates 'usbpd0' at 100% as a wakelock.

See attached for BBS output from an overnight session. The phone was at 76% & plugged in (socket was off, so it wasn't charging but had the usb-c connected). Battery dropped to 33% after over 6h. This is repeatable even after rebooting and even wiping & restoring the phone. I have not tested this in safe mode, nor a fresh wipe without restoring.

Some interesting information on my trials :

- USB-A to USB-C from Cable Matters (2017) caused battery drain (original listing updated, not sure what the specs are/were, pretty sure it was on the 'approved' Benson Leung list)

- USB-A to USB-C from a Samsung tablet caused battery drain

- USB-A to USB-C from Aukey (2019) caused battery drain (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CY1SSQV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

- USB-C to USB-C from Google (Pixel XL) did not cause battery drain

- USB-C to USB-C from Google (Pixel 4a) did not cause battery drain

Note: In all trials, the USB cable is connected to the P4a but not charging the device (either the other end is connected to a power adapter [with socket off], or not connected to a power adapter at all)

Does this have something to do with the P4a & USB PD 2.0 compared to USB-A to C cables? A software bug? Something else?
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] DB126:
Native USB-C is more intelligent (for lack of better term) than legacy variants, especially with fast charge protocols. Seems likely some type of current/voltage auto-negotiation is looking for a response when your plug switches off and throws a wakelock while waiting. The solution seems obvious: use a high quality USB-C cable and be done with it.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] nakk:
Agreed. I've swapped out the older cable in my setup above for the P4a cable - problem solved. If anyone else comes across this issue, perhaps they can find the information useful.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] SkylineDiT:
USB-C has 24 pins, and probally it trigers something which causes "back" current, that means that your battery charges charger or uses power to detect smth on USB port. Use good quality cables or do reasearch on USB C.

What socket do you use? I also want to automate charging.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] nakk:
I was gifted Gosund smart sockets (https://www.amazon.com/Gosund-Compatible-Required-appliances-Certified/dp/B079MFTYMV/). The process is as follows:

- Create Gosund account for plugs

- Link IFTTT with 'Smart Life' (smart life is the Gosund account/plugs)

- In IFTTT, create an event with WebHooks and Smart Life - e.g., if 'chargeron' then turn on Charger Socket

- Using Tasker, create a trigger for the desired battery % to execute an http post request to trigger the IFTTT task (set the URL to the webhooks address by 'https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/{event}/with/key/{uniquekey}', where event is the name you set in the previous step and uniquekey is the unique string under webhooks settings)

It was annoying to setup at first, but works like a charm! There is probably a simpler way to do this.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] tcat007:
Odd my usb-c cable I use on my OP 5T doesn't charge my 4a. Shure wish they supplied longer cables!
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] DB126:
Restricted charging on mobile devices is a bit misguided as phones rarely stay at 100% for prolonged periods as you might see on a docked laptop. Apple got it right on recent iOS builds which initiate charging an hour or two before your normal wake time. Modern battery packs are also less susceptible (albeit not immune) to premature wear due to high charge levels.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] nor-ric:
I noticed the same behaviour as the OP and eventually found this thread.

Are you using stock kernel? I'm on Android 10 (version qd4a.200805.003) with this kernel from Nikamura (https://xdaforums.com/t/twrp-3-4-0-0-for-sunfish-testing.4179101/) and rooted with Magisk.

Hey, great effort!

One question. Right now I have to install A-only arm64 ROMs but to install this Quack ONE UI ROM I the install A/B arm64 variant?

Does that mean that I have to install the SaR patch and kernel for Pie Vendor ?

Tnks for this rom .Plz fix cam
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] VDavid003:
After installing this vendor, you'll need A/B (well, not really a/b but it's labelled like that) GSIs.

No, that's for the Pie vendor.

[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] theleogetz:

Unfotunatelly, Volte will be important in the future as a lot of carrier will stop or already stopped to provide mobilenet on 3G, only voice... So if somebody calls somebody then no internet during calls (sometimes it is needed like Waze)... But a solution could be Viber, Whatsapp etc...)
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] prashantp01:

To prashantp01

Man, I wanna work on the project too. We have to steal some kernel extensions from the A-only GSI Vendor as OpenGL, Vulkan are somewhat broken and camera is not working. The OneUI 2.0 GSI does see the phone as a Galaxy M20 and therefore not allowing for Always On Display, a feature that can't be missing, and that is the case due to the Galaxy M20 being a TFT LCD phone, not a OLED one... I don't quite know what you did, since I cannot boot with modified build.prop, to report the right phone model, the right hardware version, and the right CPU, since there is Exynos 7885 in the A8, and not the Exynos 7904. Anyway, I would like to work on the project. Maybe we get OneUI 2.5 on this thing and get the OpenGL (which is buggy - runs Minecraft [MENTION=931905]18f[/MENTION]PS when it should exceed 50, and Dolphin crashes instantly) and Vulkan (which is not supported at all in this vendor) to work properly.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] prashantp01:

I don't quite like to see one doing the whole work by himself, so I would like to help. What's left to do? I have a linux machine set up and a phone to test modifications step by step. All I need is to know which modifications to add to current vendor build (I really need the good OpenGL+ Vulkan libraries).

[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] KeenShayan:
After looking other threads, it seems that a user seems to have android 12/13 working (Link to post, they say they used the vendor from this rom and the flashed a GSI). I am not able to try it out myself since the battery on my a8 is basically cooked, and it would help if 2 or more instances can confirm this. another user mentioned that adding a passcode/fingerprint causes bootloops, it might have to do with twrp recovery and the current version not supporting Android 12 encryption so I have attached an updated twrp with the /vendor partiton, This is for Galaxy A8 (jackpotlte), I'm not sure whether this would work on Android 13 but it should work for 12.

Edit: twrp does not work since it is larger than the partition given on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] damortimer:
i will try now to do it on my a8.

so i flash the rom and then the gsi of android 12?

I installed treeUI but i didnt understand how to pass to android 12
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] KeenShayan:
Correct. Install the treeUI rom, then wipe the system partition in Twrp and flash the gsi. You may need to change the system partition size, which should be listed in the original post for this thread. If you happen to run into issues using passcode, try using the Twrp recovery image I attached.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] damortimer:
you think i can try with pixel experience?
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] KeenShayan:
Pixel experience should be fine, just make sure to get the correct variant and use the 3.7.0 twrp recovery I attached. Please report back any issues you happen to find.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] KeenShayan:
it most likely has something to do with your router or possibly an issue on the phone itself. twrp 3.7.x recovery image is also larger than the a8s recovery partition for some reason, which ill try tackling later.

ATTENTION: In my case, some GSs Android 13 & 14 , especially LineageOS and AOSP, prevented me from entering TWRP after installation.

In some cases when I used a higher version of Android, I had a problem getting into TWRP, but usually it was enough to use ODIN and flash TWRP to a higher version. (whit out reinstall telephon whit stock ROM)
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] KeenShayan:
From my knowledge android 13+ has issues with twrp on a majority of devices, so soon enough we would need to make our own recovery. The main issue with a12+ at the moment is getting passcode and/or biometrics working and that has something to do with the kernel. Due to personal issues I won’t be able to do much work outside of studies for a couple of months.
