[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] wolfu11:
Don't use the unbrick tool only use as a last resort. There's a good chance you lose your fingerprint sensor. If you're ever going to use that one make sure you back up your persist folder first there's guides on XDA for that. But the state that you're in is easily recoverable. Hang on for a minute let me get some pictures together for you.......

First you'll need to have/download platform-tools from there unzip it open the unzipped folder and put which ever ota you want in it. Unzip the ota once that's down copy.the unzipped ota into the unzipped platform-tools folder it will ask to replace about 8 files allow that. The OnePlus like the pixel needs to use fastbootd. To resize partitions I've upgraded and down graded this way...... Note you might see errors during the process but in fastbootd it resizes stuff depending on an upgrade or downgrade

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] HaronM:
How exactly do you use fastbootd. I'm stuck on crashdump mode and i can't be able to EDL
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] meffles:
You can get into edl, you're likely not doing it properly.

Open the unbrick tool and, select the region in the drop down and press start.

Turn the phone off completely with no cables attached. When it's off, hold volume up and down for 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, keep hold of the buttons and plug the cable in.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] HaronM:
When i turn the phone off it just powers on (On it's own) to crushdump.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] meffles:
Hold the power button until the screen turns off, which should be around 5-10 seconds then immediately let go.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] HaronM:
Nothing happens when i press the power button. Tried for even a minute. The only combo that works when it's on CrashDump is Vol+Vol- plus power button. If immediately i release it goes back to crashdump and if i just press the vol+vol- it goes to fastboot mode

Sometimes...changeing the USB port and cable can get things moving along. Kind of like a PC suppository.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] meffles:
I've seen that myself, but I would say that more applies to an issue on the PC's behalf, not being able to detect hardware for example.

Here, the phone has very limited options, but ultimately he needs to get to EDL mode somehow and with it constantly booting (even after powering off), it's proving very difficult :(
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bodomfan:

Hi, i've had a question for quiet a while now, but i've yet to come across any type of discussion or answer. I got an lg stylo 5 (cricket q720cs ver. 9.0). How come there is no information or discussion regarding the dual sims aspect of the phone? you can download shortcut master (i use lite) from google play and nav. to the network app, everything is embedded in the firmware but its just hidden. If you get on baidu and research the topic, they sell the "adapter". The other sim would essentially be located in the sd card slot but turned 90 degrees? I've seen pictures and it can be done, but would there be any reprecussions if i added another sims?

hey guys,

I can´t start spotify. it shows the spotify logo and then it stucks on a black screen. I got the .apk from APKPure. On the Amazon Appstore I also can´t find spotify over the P40 Lite amazon app.

I don´t care about all the google apps, but I need spotify. You have any idea?

FIXED: just install the spotify lite app, login and then run the normal spotify app. Worked for me

bests regards ;)
[Huawei P40 Questions & Answers] ykkhern:
Not sure about P40 Lite, but on my P40 I can install Spotify via Petal Search (the source is also from APKPure). I can launch Spotify until the Log In page without any problem.

I didn't try logging in as I don't have Spotify account and I'm not using it at all.

Alternatively if you still have your old Android phone with you, use Phone Clone to clone Spotify over to your P40 Lite.

Good luck!
[Huawei P40 Questions & Answers] faaaab:
FIXED:

I just downloaded the spotify lite app. this one worked. I logged into my account. Then I installed the normal spotify app and it also worked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferivon:
Starting with Android 6(?) your app needs the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission and the user has to turn on the system-wide location setting in order to scan for Bluetooth devices from the app: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...-bluetooth-low-energy-scanning-on-android-6-0

Google is arguing that you could use just the Bluetooth data to find the location of the phone and thus hid Bluetooth scanning behind the location permission. (Which my opinion is ridiculous because they could have added a separate permission instead of forcing the user to give up all their battery life to GPS and WiFi location tracking.)

Now with Android 8 there appears to be a new API, namely the CompanionDeviceManager:

https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/companion-device-pairing

This API only seems to require adding the FEATURE_COMPANION_DEVICE_SETUP feature to the manifest, but yet it allows scanning for Bluetooth devices, even with the system-wide location setting turned off.

Now I'm wondering if that API is somehow anonymizing the Bluetooth data, e.g. by removing the MAC addresses or what else could be the reason for why Google thinks that this does not need to be hidden behind the location permissions?

[LG V50 ThinQ Questions & Answers] flp11748:
Hi

Been using a V50 for a couple of days comig from a V30.

Regarding RAW capture with the stock camera the output seems much worse than the V30 - the DNG files have vignetting and are very desaturated, noting like the output on the V30 and previous LG phones that had this corrected.

Using a 3rd party camera app, the DNG files don't have vignetting but are still very desaturated.

I'm on android 10. Is this just from this update or has been this way since the release?

Thanks
[LG V50 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Lomomeno:
There isn't anything wrong with them being unsaturated, after all they are raw files, you get much more control of their final output that way.

Just bump up the saturation. on Lightroom I find myself sometimes cranking it up to 80-90% while other times, when there is sunlight involved, I go only up to 20%.

Have fun, don't hate the player, hate the game
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] flp11748:
Hi

Been using a V50, that is identical to the V40 camera wise, for a couple of days comig from a V30.

Regarding RAW capture with the stock camera the output seems much worse than the V30 - the DNG files have vignetting and are very desaturated, noting like the output on the V30 and previous LG phones that had this corrected.

Using a 3rd party camera app, the DNG files don't have vignetting but are still very desaturated.

I'm on android 10. Does the V40 also has these issues, having the same camera hardware?

Thanks
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] LDawe:
Hi!

The V40 does actually have the same problems. Well, DNG files as RAW files by nature contain the unprocessed information what the camera saw when it took the picture, including all optical imperfections and sensor noise. I have a SONY a6000 mirrorless camera at home, and it also has these "problems". It is how it is... Instead of the camera software doing the hard work, it leaves it to you to decide what do you wanna do with the image. Using Lightroom Mobile, you can fix both vignetting and barrel distortion by enabling Lens Profile Corrections. There is also an Auto setting for the colours too. (and a built in capture mode with DNG support which automatically applies lens prifile corrections if I remember correctly) But if you do not want to go through all these to get a decent picture, why all the fuss, just use JPEG. The stock cam app can do awesome images with its built in post processing algorithm, I barely use RAW mode, unless I wanna do something really specific and go hard on editing.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] bilalrajput:
I have Xiaomi Poco F2 pro call recorder in official build miui 12 in the official version, no extra apps

Whenever I record calls, it says this call is being recorded to both who dials call and the one who receive it too

is there any way to remove these words'' this call is being recorded'' from google official dialer or any other suggestion that doesn't involve root or bootloader unlocking

Or if there is a way to change location so instead of recorded message this call is being recorded, it comes in another language if I try to change location,

I tried changing region but it doesn't work

if I change location or mock it somehow to Indonesia or china, It will be helpful for me

Sir can you run the diff command and tell what was new
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] a1291762:
Hmm... I did not make notes of what I did last time :(

Luckily my history is preserved so I can piece together what I did. I'm gonna write it down here for next time :)

For reasons I don't remember, I was watching the update run last time, so I saw which partitions it applied changes to. This time I didn't do that, so I don't know what partitions changed.

The most likely candidates though, are the 3 that I have to restore on every OTA: boot, vendor, system.

I do this on an Ubuntu system.

simg2img comes from the android-tools-fsutils package

unmkbootimg was built from source: https://github.com/osm0sis/mkbootimg.git

For each of 11.0.10.0 and 11.0.11.0...

unmkbootimg boot.img
gzip -d initramfs.cpio.gz
mkdir initramfs
cd initramfs
cpio --extract < ../initramfs.cpio
cd ..

simg2img vendor.img vendor.raw
mkdir vendor
mount -o loop,ro vendor.raw vendor

simg2img system.img system.raw
mkdir system
mount -o loop,ro system.raw system

Hmm... Actually, simg2img is only needed for files taken from a fastboot .tgz. For backups pulled from the device, you can just mount them directly.

Then I just diff the 2 trees. There's lots of errors due to dangling symlinks and the like, so hide those. And every .odex file is different so ignore those.

sudo diff -rq 11.0.10.0/ 11.0.11.0/ 2>/dev/null | grep -v odex > report.txt

This just shows what files changed. You can use -ru instead to see the actual changes (at least for text files) but there's few of those, and the changes aren't very interesting. Mostly just timestamps in the half-dozen copies of build.prop scattered around the partitions.

Highlights:

* MIDI decoding lib

* cdrom_install.iso (PC drivers?!)

* the usual low-level system libs (possibly just re-compiled)

* camera libs

* widevine DRM

* carrier APN changes

* selinux tweaks

[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] tye_time:
I had a Nord for about 2 months before I sold it and went for the Pixel 4a instead... I lost a lot of money as the re-sale value on OnePlus phones is terrible.

The screen was nicer on the Nord, especially with the 90hz option enabled. Battery life was about the same as what I'm getting now, even though it had a much larger battery. I also felt it was too big, whereas the Pixel is great for one handed use. Camera is much better as well.

I haven't had a Google phone since the Nexus 4, so it's good to be back. With the recent changes to Oxygen OS I can't see myself going back.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] _a!:
I nearly got a nord as they look ok and oneplus used to have a good reputation but in recent years there's been a lot of nonsense like cheating in benchmarks; the requirement to send your phone to poland to get HD netflix re-enabled after an update; weird scrolling issues, plus the camera in the nord sucks compared to the 4a. And having had a moto and an honor play, both with some weird version of android which never gets updated, i'm done with anything other than the nexus...sorry, pixel range, or android one devices.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] tye_time:
Definitely - they have moved away from their core enthusiast audience to branch out into the mainstream.
