[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBrady:
I have an old 6th Gen Kindle Fire HD 8. It's a finicky device - it works fine, but the charging port only works with one particular non-Amazon USB cable. I have no idea why, but I think the port has had issue from the start.

It's kinda on the bottom of my electronics pile, so it really has no use at the moment. Anyway, it's just sitting around and I don't know what to do with it. Can it be rooted to run bare AOSP?

[Cross-post from the general Kindle Fire XDA section]
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bibikalka:
I have one of these. Rooted with mtk-su/SuperSu back in the day, early 2019. Customized enough to be almost stock.

It's a fine device - runs kids' games just fine. No difference with Hd8 2017 really, solid battery life.

It all depends on your needs really. The only downside is that apps start dropping lollipop support, so while it's an OK cpu, some things are just no longer compatible.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmznUser444 Dev:
There is no root or ROMs for your device.

You must have to use a transferrable micro USB cable to use ADB debugging.

Things to do your Fire tablet as

-> Digital Clock

-> Android app debugger (If your PC doesn't have a virtualization technology to run Android virtual device in Android Studio)

-> Android Auto head unit

-> Smart display

-> MIDI controller (If you don't have a money to buy a MIDI controller. Use your old Fire tablet as a MIDI keyboard in digital audio workstation or stand-alone virtual instruments)

[OnePlus 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mac-duff:
Hi,

I installed the wichaya version with the mentioned config file but now have the phenomenon that I only can take one picture. After that I have to close the app through the app manager. Any idea?
[OnePlus 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cmekrishh:
You need to clean install the GCAM. If you have previously installed Wichaya's GCAM, uninstall it and install the new one.
[OnePlus 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kimimaru23:
can i disable the stock camera apk so that i can use the wichaya's gcam?
[OnePlus 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Raiz:
Yes, you can. But I'd be better if you just let it as it is and set Gcams and Google Photo as Default Camera and Gallery

[OnePlus 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] uknow:
I have the verizon oneplus 8 I installed the beta 8 app it opens but stays on the opening camera picture and I don't know what to do with the config file
[OnePlus 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xxBrun0xx:
Interesting. Double tap power button does nothing for me. I'm thinking OnePlus hard coded this gesture to open their camera app instead of triggering the camera action (which would open whichever camera app is your default). Seems like it would be easy to make a magisk module to fix this. I'll look into it!
[OnePlus 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Raiz:
Thank you, I just figured it out, try double tap on power button, but on your homescreen this time (unlocked device) and see which camera app opens. When I do this on the lockscreen it opens the stock camera app, but when the phone is unlocked with the same gesture I'm able to open the Google Camera App. So I think there's something that blocks installed apps from opening when the phone is locked, but allows system apps to be opened.

On my OnePlus 8T I'm trying Wichaya version 3.1.1 with nrG xml but the 'tele' doesn't work, the screen goes black and force close the app after a few seconds. Does it work for you?

How many mpx uses the normal lens? The stock camera uses 12mpx for normal photos and the 'tele' uses the full 48mpx and apply a 2x digital cut. How it works the Wichaya? Can I configure the mpx used?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sergio PC:
Guys help me out, I misplaced the CDs that came in the gorgeous Diamond box.

And as many of you I have Flashed my device with new Kick arse Panoshas.

Now I cant install the spb gprs monitor that came with the CDs.

I know the app is not free, but I "technically" have it.

Can some one hook me up?

If im making a mistake, by asking for software that is not freeware I will erase this thread.

Thanks before hand fellas.;)

Cheers!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] StarMonkee:
Maybe you could get the CD from your operator?

If you've got a licence key, you can download it from spbsoftwarehouse.com

Personally though, I prefer batterystatus for monitoring data usage, because it does pretty much the same thing, and also monitors phone usage, sms etc.. and a lot more device info (if you're interested)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sergio PC:
Thanks, is batterystatus free??

Cheers brada!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pathologo:
*BUMP*

Because GPRS Monitor isn't working correctly on Diamond, it keeps forgetting to count the transmitted data.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Lost_in_translation:
Which version do you use? I have installed 2.5.1 retail licensed. The program is set to monitor the traffic over my GPRS-connection, and it counts the sent data just fine.

Have fun!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pathologo:
I also use this version, v2.5.1 Build 247, and suddenly it stopped counting the traffic.

I even tried to rename the old data file of GPRS Monitor, so it creates a new one but this doesn't help either. It counted 225 KB of traffic and since then no more counting.

Btw, I looked for BatteryStatus and all sites/projects that I've found don't count anything but just display something.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] riz157:
yes it is mate
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pathologo:
And where to find this BatteryStatus YOU guys are talking about?

So here we are again. Sammy has released the note 20 series phones and the reviews are quickly rolling in to show that again, the exynos is underperforming, in comparison to the sd+, in terms of 2 most crucial aspects, performance and battery. For how long is Sammy going to get away with this shabby trick, of shoving the exynos down European Market throats?

Exynos or sd, which do you think is better?

My N20 Ultra Exynos varient was fine with battery and wasn't warming up however I'm not a gamer and gave me a full days usage to how I used it but for some reason it wasn't holding onto signal very well at all.

Tried all types of troubleshooting.

I ended up arranging for Samsung to collect it as I have a 28 day cooling off period to change my mind.

I'll then have to await a refund and then consider trying again.

Bigger battery + 120Hz @ WQHD is a must if want to compete with the find x2 pro that can do that oh Yr coz it has a SD and not some crappy exynos we get fobbed of every year with how about for once give the uk the SD as well , seriously considering sending it back in my 14 day window whats the point of these features if they degrade battery so much to use them waste of time , sorry rant over now

Hi,

My battery was OK but not any better than my 1 year old N10+ 5G. I had more battery % left on the N10+ by the end of my day which is from 5am to 9pm as I turn my phone's Off overnight and charge up no matter what battery % I have left.

Maybe It has to do with the 120hz adaptive refresh rate and or the Exynos Chipset in my opinion after my own personal experiences and reading other people's findings including how JerryRiggEveryrhing changed cooling systems around in both N20 Ultra varients which didn't make that much of an difference i.e didn't improve how the Exynos Chipset performed.

It's confusing as even some Snapdragon owners are reporting battery issues.

I get that the battery optimises and learns but it also should give good screen time out of the box and then improve from usage and via updates from Samsung.

I did put some apps to sleep and some to deep sleep and disabled any google service / app and Google Chrome app i could which is what I do with all my phones. I also turned Off 5G as I can't use that connection type. :(

For me signal was becoming an issue which some other owners have experienced too. I had no warming up issues either.

So my N20 Ultra is being collected this week under the 28 day No Quibble returns period and then await a refund and start again.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] BandOfBrothers1:
In Settings - Connections I have the option to change from 5G/4G etc to just 4G/3G etc but I'm in the Uk and I'm aware not all Network's globally allow this.

Yes the signal bar is to give an indication of signal but even when using the same sim card in other phone's which provided good connection and using other sim cards in the N20 Ultra it gave poor quality connection.

Other people in these areas on the same Network had no issue's so I couldn't put it down to masts.
