[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VirtualWaver:
It works very well for me. Not ideal but really well with the built-in screen protector.

There is one hack to make biometrics work faster - go to Optimise Battery Usage permissions and untick the com.samsung.android.biometrics entry. This will allow biometrics service to always work and will improve biometrics response time greatly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Proday:
It works, like on n10 before it. Not as good and fast as one on one plus 8 pro which I had before but it works. Best advice is to buy gearfit 2 pro or some from active watches and make it as a trusted device ;)

UK, Sim free handset, already tried the register the same finger twice and wasn't helping. Now got one finger four times but still the same issue. It fails so often that sometimes it goes over the 5 allowable attempts, or is just very slow, and also needs a harder press that my previous Notes.

It still has factory screen protector on.

Any suggestions?

And how do you find the "Optimise Battery Usage permissions and untick the com.samsung.android.biometrics"

Thanks.

Working great on S20U and N20U here

Register same fingerprint 2-3 times

Disable Battery optimisation for Biometrics

Disable Unlock Animation

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] WJPDRW:
Hi everyone , I have a Redmi Note 8 (codename ginkgo) that I've bought from Shopee(with proof if you want), and when I turned on the phone , I've found out that the seller who sell me this phone had installed a VPN software , and the VPN settings set as "always connected" , first I don't know why it needs to always to connect to the VPN , so I turned the VPN off , and after about 10 seconds , my screen turned into "This device is locked" YES it's the Mi account Lock after the factory reset , I don't know why the account exist , so I asked the seller BUT he didn't give me the password of the account (I'm still asking him).So, my screen locked in the Mi account verify . But I've found a way to open the VPN again (Hard reboot and quickly unlock the phone , go to settings and turn on "always connect to VPN") . The seller give me a way to login to my Mi account (use wechat to login , this way I can login to my Mi account) So I think this way my Mi account is already on the device , I tried to turn off the VPN again , and NOPE , the Mi account verification screen pops up again (So I turned off my device again and turned on the VPN) And after I turned on my device , I noticed MY Mi account was kicked on this device . I really want to login to my Mi account and unlock the bootloader to flash this device to Global ROM (Or RevOS) to get a better user experience (I don't like China ROM because it's too closed of its customization and also , too many Chinese apps)

I want to ask is: Is there anyway to "remove" the previous Mi account on the device and login mine? ( I've seen many videos on YouTube that teaches you to "Bypass"the account , but I want is to "Remove"It)

You can give me any advice , I will try it , thanks to your reply

(Sorry if the pics is in Chinese , I'll translate it for you guys)

Pic 1

(Translate: This device is locked )

Pic 2

(This pic is the VPN message that always shows on the notification area)

(Translate: Do not do the mentioned things below:

Factory Reset

Do not delete this VPN app

Do not close the " always connect to the VPN "

If you do this , the system will become not usable and you'll take the risk of doing that)

Pic 3

(Translate: This device may be associated to …………(you know ,the Mi account unlock info , so I'm lazy to translate it ))

Pic 4

(This is the VPN settings from the MIUI settings page , it showed that the VPN is always connected)

Pic 5

(This is the VPN's app info , I've searched on Google and nothing about this app is found)

Thanks again for you guys for reading these

Is your bootloader unlocked or not?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] nneko904:
cant see any pic, anyway just unlock your bootloader and change rom
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] WJPDRW:
Nope , but I want to
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] dudjaa:
That's really a problem, you have to know the password from that MI account, the seller for some reason placed his MI account.

VPN has nothing to do with it from my experience.

It simply happened when the seller logged off all the devices from that account, he was probably logged on to multiple devices with the same account. The reason for this is often just unlocking the bootloader to install some of his ROM and simply sell it.

The solution is to remove that MI account that's why you need a password.

Try something like this:

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Redmi 4A abdal:
maybe it's a stolen device so plz report to the authorities,

can you factory reset your device when connected with VPN method, if you factory reset, all accounts will also deleted so you can setup a new one
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] kaizai:
由于购买时此电话有一个帐户，因此卖家通过错误绕过了该帐户，然后打开了vpn软件以限制“查找我的电话”，因此您可以正常使用此机器，但无法访问自己的机器解锁引导加载程序的帐户，因为它绑定到前一个用户的帐户！

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] LR7875:
If you somehow managed to unlock bootloader, no you can't. It will not install.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] LR7875:
So your mi account is on the phone?

Then can you unlock bootloader?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] WJPDRW:
No I cannot flash custom ROM bcz the device bootloader couldn't be unlocked
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] WJPDRW:
Nope, although my Mi account can be login using wechat, the unlocking process on PC would still say"This device is bounded to another Mi account"
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] LR7875:
Then, probably request a refund.

As the title says, what do manufacturers have against magnetometers ?

For e.g., even the USD 300 Realme 7 Pro does not have a magnetometer.

Anyone who uses, say, Google Maps knows how useful it is. And, AFAIK it won't increase the cost much.

Is there a like good reason for not including a magnetometer?
[General Topics] xda2014:
No one else thinks magnetometers are quite useful ?

Another e.g., Moto G9 Plus. Cost R$2.499 (USD 470 ?). No magnetometer.

EDIT : Please read posts later on.

Looks like some mid range phones do have a magnetometer/magnetic induction sensor .

EDIT : Correction - Some of the Redmi Note 9 and Redmi 9 models has a "E-compass".
[General Topics] Droidriven:
One simple answer...

Cost effectiveness.

Incorporating magnetometer means including more hardware, which requires more hardware/software development as well, which means more money.
[General Topics] xda2014:
To the best of my knowledge, including a magnetometer would not cost much. In a phone costing USD 150+ the cost increase would be insignificant.
[General Topics] Droidriven:
My point is, everything a corporation does or doesn't do, is motivated by cost effectiveness, regardless of what you, the customer, believes would be insignificant to their costs or profit margins.
[General Topics] xda2014:
Is a 'Magnetic Induction Sensor' same as a magnetometer?

From here : https://www.realme.com/in/realme-7-pro/specs
[General Topics] Droidriven:
The answer to that is both yes and no, more of a yes than a no but not a complete yes.
[General Topics] xda2014:
Will it do the job in Google Maps ? That's all I want to know.
[General Topics] Droidriven:
Yes, it should.

A magnetic induction sensor is a magnetometer of a sort, but, a bit more specific. A magnetic induction sensor is a magnetometer but a magnetometer is not necessarily a magnetic induction sensor.

[Realme 5 Questions & Answers] Hevimic:
I recently purchased Realme 5i, and when it was updated, the stated latest version is RMX2030EX_11_C.53. However, since I wanted to test out the smooth scrolling feature, impatiently I went to the Realme India software update website to obtain the latest version. It was successfully installed, but then later after further research, I realized that each region has its own intended ROM. Is there a way for me to revert to my default ROM (Malaysia)?

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Thawu:
Good morrning everyone!

i am a little bit helpless with my plan to flash LineageOS 17.1 onto my OP 6T. I started from LineageOS 16, which was rooted with Magisk.

With my first attempt I followed the instructions from https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/fajita/install. I used the latest files from 20200903 of LineageOS. But after flashing temporarily the recovery, I ended up with a stuck in oem-unlock-screen. To fix it i used the MSMtool 4.0.59.

I flashed only boot and not boot_a or boot_b. So I tried it with that now. But I only got the same results. I was unable to boot into recovery. So again MSM Tool and unlocking the bootloader.

Then I tried to install it via TWRP. OOS 9.0.13:

1. booted into fastboot mode

2. booted TWRP 3.3.1.0

3. Wiped Data and rebooted into fastboot mode

4. booted again TWRP 3.3.1.0

5. installed LineageOS lineage-17.1-20200903-nightly-fajita-signed.zip

6. installed TWRP 3.4.0

7. rebooted into recovery

8. repeated 5. and 6.

9. rebooted into recovery

10. installed open gapps-nano

11. installed Magisk 20.4

12. rebooted the system

Result: Qualcomm CrashDump Mode......

I do not understand what I did wrong. In June I installed Lineage OS on another OP 6T and it worked fine with flashing the recovery to boot_a. But I do not know which OOS was installed. No I am trying it since hours and only end up in the above mentioned results.

What do I have to do? Thanks for your help in advance!

Greetings

My LOS Install Guide

- Don't use TWRP 3.4.x. Use 3.3.1-32 (The latest 3.3.1 version.) 3.4.x will give you issues.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Thawu:
Thank you lot. Lineage ist booting =)
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
I also just noticed you are trying to use a very old version of OOS (which also means old firmware). Why are you using 9.0.13? Perhaps this could be your issue.

I need to update my guide, but 10.3.5, and the latest weekly 9-3 work fine. One warning, I never did get the 10.3.5 fastboot ROM to work on either of my 6Ts. The 10.3.4 Fastboot ROM works fine, then I had to update to 10.3.5 using TWRP.

I asked if anyone else had problems with the 10.3.5 fastboot ROM in the fastboot thread but didnt get any replies...
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Thawu:
I started at first wit OOS 9 because of the latest (?) msm tool. I regocnized later, that it is crucial to update OOS to Android 10 what I did after I posted my question. I installed OOS 10.3.5 from oneplus.com via TWRP.

So all I had to do yesterday was to reinstall TWRP 3.3.1-32.

Your guide for installing LineageOS was by far the best I got. All the little explenations were the things I needed to understand, why the steps had to be done. So again thank you for your help and your guide which is really really good.

[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] tim0477:
Hi,

I bricked my G7 Power trying to install Lineage OS. I copied Lineage OS to the SD card. I then used TWRP to wipe my device and attempted to install Lineage thru the install from zip option of TWRP. The install did not show any error warnings. Upon reboot, I was left with a unresponsive brick.

The device model number is: XT1955-5

The last working Official Android OS I flashed was: OCEAN_PPOS29.114_134_10_cid50_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml

The Version of Lineage I tried to flash was: lineage-17.1-20200302-UNOFFICIAL-ocean-robson-sz.zip

I had bricked this device once before about a year ago and found a blank flash file, but it will no longer work. The old blank flash was: blankflash_ocean_PDOS29.114-134-2. I downloaded a new blank flash: BlackFlash-MotoG7power-OCEAN-SDM632- PPOS29.114-134-10, but it will not work either.

Both blank flash files give the error: qb_flash_singleimage<>saharah_greet_device<>->change_mode<>->do_hello<>->IO_error.

I assume that I need a new blank flash file to fix this. The phone is recognised by my PC as: Qualcom HS-USB QDloader 9008 (COM4).

Please give me a link for a appropriate blank flash file if one exists for my situation or advise what steps to take to revive this dead Moto G7 Power.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi.

I bought my phone around 3 weeks ago and suddenly the main mic stopped working . It doesn't matter if it's in calls or video recording or sound recording , it doesn't work.

When I record something with no sound around , afterwards when I listen to it , it's kind of a noise like paper on wood . Also the secondary mic Wich is on top of the phone is working but in very low volume.

I have tested both in the testing program (the one that opens up after taping 5 times on kernel) and none of them passed the test.

Right now I'm at work but when I get home I try and upload some recordings ، for now I just wanna know what's what. . thanks

I am comparing my Garmin 5x to T-rex; lots of items, analyses are similar, T-rex does best OK in the comparison; however, I have found ONE very serious lack of feature.

I cannot find a way to produce a week/ month overview of heart frequencies (resting, mean, maximal) to compare daily, weekly and monthly average values.

All other, completely irrelevant parameters have such an overview, but just this one (heart frequency) not (or I cannot find it). Heart frequency monitoring on my T-rex is set to continue measuring and I only can see the daily values in Zepp, when looking back. Change from Amazfit to Zepp gave also no improvement.

Hi. I have unlocked several devices before and only this phone is getting on my nerves. I have followed every steps exatcly as on forums to unlock my bootloader. On adb it says "Done.

Your device is oem locked

Open settings

Goto about phone (or system then about phone)

Tap on build number until it says you're a developer

Go back to settings screen and then select the new available developer options menu

Make sure you have enabled allow oem unlock (if available)

Also enable USB debugging

When it comes to unlock string make sure you copy and paste it into a text document and then remove all the line breaks so the string is on one long continuous line
