[Xposed General] Zegame:
Android 6 introduced a few restrictions to protect the user data. Mods like Xprivacy don't need to control them.

Camera, Microphone and Location are fine on Android 6. It is bizarre to restrict Sensors, but that is fine.

However, some features are incomplete:

* Contacts: it seems that the permission can't be read-only and I can't choose a contact subset to show.

* Storage: the app needs to load and store data, but I don't want it to see unrelated files.

Other restrictions aren't present without mod:

* Fake id data (serial, imei, android id, mac address, etc)

* Accounts: the apps need to register their own account, but I want to prevent them from seeing accounts of other apps. I don't know if the UI is safe.

* Prevent access to the Internet. I want to manually enable it if the app really needs it. Xprivacy is confusing and distinguishes Network and Internet. No app needs to know the wifi name, but a few may need Internet.

* Prevent forgotten apps from running on the background when the phone is turned on.

* Other unspecified restrictions: see running apps, see installed apps, etc.

* Xprivacy has also System and Shell, which I don't know if they are safe.

Xprivacy is outdated. Xprivacy Lua is supposed to be its successor, but it is worse because it doesn't restrict Internet claiming that it may make the app crash, but I don't mind if the app crashes.

I'm using Android 8 because Xprivacy doesn't work on newer Android versions, but the rom has a terrible bug that prevents me from using the camera and it isn't supported anymore.
[Xposed General] M66B:
XPrivacyLua works fine and you can extend the built-in restrictions with custom hooks, which is a big advantage over the old XPrivacy:

Note that I won't follow this thread and that I found it by accident. If you want to discuss about XPrivacyLua, there is a dedicated XDA thread for it.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
Early this morning, out of the blue a notification popped up on my 3XL running DU that the device can no longer be used for contactless payment. Checked Magisk to find CTS failing along with the same contactless message if I open GPay. Checked Props to be sure I still had the 3XL fingerprint running, which I did. Checked my wife's stock/rooted P3 to find no issues with either SafetyNet or GPay. I even tried a P3 Android 11 fingerprint on mine with no change to the failure. The only thing I can think of is that the 3XL had hardware attestation turned on, but surprisingly I have seen no other comments today.

Anyone else see anything similar or have any thoughts?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] mgp53:
Fails for me also on DU.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
I assume you had been passing using the fingerprint module before? Also, I wonder if the 11 kernel on my wife's (EX) is hiding the unlocked BL while the 10 kernels are not.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] mgp53:
Can't answer that as I wasn't using gpay. I tried setting it up and ran into the same problem. I am using the fingerprint module and still not able to pass.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
Hard to believe that you and I are the only ones seeing this (including other custom rom users). I really don't want to go to 11, but it might be a thought until DU puts out 15.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] rspkt:
I have had the same issue since mid-Septembers update for LineageOS though on my 3XL. CTS fail and GPay fails. However, CTS passes fine on my Galaxy Tab A running the same LineageOS versions but I don't use GPay on that so can't confirm it's status.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
That helps that it is not DU specific but custom rom on 3XL specific. My Tab S2 running LOS 16 is fine like your Tab A, but again no GPay on there.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] rspkt:
That's the same conclusion I came to as well. I'm curious whether this affects a stock Android 10 install on a 3XL with just Magisk installed and nothing else? I never tried it on either my phone or my tablet to see how that would pan out. Maybe one of us should just to see? What do you think about that theory?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
Definitely a good idea to see if it is an A10 issue regardless and to see if it follows different custom kernels, etc. I am guessing most everyone who has read this is either on 11 or a 10 custom ROM. I am still thinking of going to stock 11 until custom 11 ROMs start popping up, and doing an intermediate install of 10 would only add a little bit of time. I am just a bit up against it to put the time into a full reconfig of my phone just to solve a GPay issue. Nothing else that I use is impacted by the CTS fail, and since all the GPay issues started a a couple of years ago, I think everyone (myself included) has a credit card ready just in case when using contactless. Not sure if I care enough, but that could change if I get some free time.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
Got SafetyNet to pass and GPay to get rid of the contactless failure. My wife's P3 kicked to device attestation last night and failed SafetyNet, though strangely didn't show the contactless error. Either way, I decided to mess with bith of them this morning. The P3, I selected the 4a fingerprint (she had no other fingerprint set) and then after reboot did a force basic. After another reboot, it was passing SafetyNet and still showed no issues with GPay. For the 3XL, I had to do a completely reset of the props/fingerprint module (which in my case also reset a custom prop I had set) to get rid of my 3XL fingerprint. Reboot , change to 4a fingerprint, reboot, re-add my custom prop and another reboot. No need to force basic since it never changed to device attestation. Everything is passing now. Need to physically check GPay at a store, and who knows how long the 4a print will continue to pass, but for now all is working.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] piotrkruczek:
After updating to Android 11 I noticed a problem

- even with 60Hz refresh rate chosen in options, I see 120Hz constantly switching on and off after few minutes of using a phone.

- restart, changing in options doesn't stick and problem comes back.

Any ideas how to solve it?

OOS 11 stable, no extra tweaks and kernels, no magisk and root
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
It does that to save battery, but if you've selected 60hz then it should stick.

Did you have no limits xXx installed at some point. It can force 120 no matter what.

Not sure otherwise.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McMannes:
Hi guys, while changing the battery of the phone last week, the part you see in the picture was broken. unfortunately the power key is not working. I need to find the part on the motherboard that I circle. Where can I get it? I have to search for this piece.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runekock:
Bad luck.

Even if you can find that small connector, changing it is going to be very hard. If only you had broken the cable instead - they are usually available as spares, and easier to replace.

I suggest that you look for another broken Nexus, and swap the motherboards.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runekock:
Looking closely at your picture, it seems that only the plastic guide at the bottom is missing, while the connector itself is intact. Though the picture isn't really sharp enough to tell for sure.

But if that is the case, you should be able to find a way to attach the cable anyway. Align it carefully to the upper guide. And tape it if it seems loose.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] gameking13:
I recently purchased a new Galaxy Watch 3, coming from my trusty Gear S3. One thing that is annoying me to no end is this "Screensaver" feature when the watch goes to sleep while an app is open. Pretty hard to describe so here is a video with a side by side comparison between the Watch 3 and my Gear S3.

photos.app.goo.gl/YiaqCt8L5rL2mncE7

Both watches have the exact same watch face. Notice that when the Watch 3 goes to sleep while on anything but the Watch face, it switches to this stupid Digital screensaver. The net effect of this is that 90% of the time when the screen is in "always on" mode it uses this stupid screensaver instead of my chosen watchface.

I should not that I am using a custom WatchMaker watch face.

Is there anyway to disable this "feature" so that it behaves like the S3?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] ekerbuddyeker:
I noticed the same! I expect it is because of the too small battery. Its not always on exactly, its always on to a Screensaver.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] galaxys:
Would be nice to be able to change it...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] pbogdanovic:
Same here. I'd like to kill this "feature", i.e. when timed out revert to the "Always on" watchface, not the default screensaver.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] congusto:
Mine does this too, but falls back to the Watch Face AOD after about 20 secs. I think it was actually designed this way to allow you to go back to the screen you were on before the screen saver was triggered, by pressing the top button.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] pbogdanovic:
Mine doesn't fall back to AOD watch face at all. It can stay all day on the "screensaver watchface". That's what I'd like to switch off.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] daubman:
Reducing the time, but still not a fix

I'd love to get rid of this screensaver watch face as well, however, as others have mentioned, for me it also goes away fairly quickly. In your Galaxy Wearable app, if you go into "Display", what setting do you have under "Show last app". Mine is currently set to "When screen turns on again within 20 seconds". Unfortunately, there is no "off" for this, and 20 seconds is the minimum. If you have this set higher (e.g. to 1hr) I wonder if you'd see what you are seeing.

Regardless, if anyone figures out how to disable this, I'd love to know as well!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] Vickye Venkat:
Same issue here. It is annoying. Following.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] ESdesigns:
Same problem coming from the Galaxy Watch to the Watch3. Following hoping for a solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] gameking13:
Welp. 3 years later and Samsung still refuse to allow us to use the watchface as the screensaver .. I've bought and subsequently sold or returned every model from the watch 3 to watch 6 classic. I'm still rocking my Gear S3 because the only 2 features I like/use MST and the AOD watchface.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] bubu23:
hey guys!

my display set to adaptive,and the auto brightness is off,and the level is full bright

but somtimes the screen verybright and good and sometimes after 1 or two minutes ,its become less brightness by itself ,then sudenlly bright again

is this normal ? can we fix this ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] AeroSatan:
Make sure your screen time out time isn't set to something like 15 seconds
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] bubu23:
no its set to 1 min but thx.

but i know everybody got this iisue its like the aouto brightness set to on but its off
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] AeroSatan:
So you're saying your auto brightness is off and you have it manually cranked all the way up but the issue is that it randomly dims and then gets bright again, on and off constantly?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] racingmatt1:
Sounds like a display problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] AeroSatan:
I concur
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] bubu23:
yes but not all the time after few min

i have in familly 3 note 20 ultra and all the same ,so cant be display problem. i know many people say that thing ,and some tell them its like this because thers kind of protection of the screen so it wont be max bright all the time so it will not burn the screen ,i just wanted to know if thers a way to leave it on max for all time
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] AeroSatan:
It's difficult for me to determine whether it's something intentionally done by the software to limit the screen brightness or a defect. If it's the latter and you can still exchange or at least attempt a warranty swap through a carrier, it maybe something to look worthwhile to look at.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
If you're saying that the Note 20 Ultra isn't as bright as previous Samsung phones I would concur!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] montag09:
I have an S10+ and Note 20 Ultra, and I don't know what brightness "problem" is people talking about. They're almost identical. You know that you can adjust brightness to your taste, even in auto, right? By default is dimmer because of energy saving stuff, but you can move the slider up...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] coilbio:
I have a note 10+ I still daily, definitely dimmer than my n20u, but that sounds like software trying to adjust for some reason.

Samsung is buggy, will always be buggy I feel like.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] bubu23:
look its same like iphone

if you use iphone about 5 min its become hote thenn the screen dim

i know its in note 20 ultra as well if you use the phone surf lets say facebook 5 min its become little hot and dim the screen (not much ,little bit) at least with the exinos chip
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] bubu23:
no man auto brightness is off

try it out! if you in a dark place not alot of light even if the screen on full brightness it still will dim itself abit

but when you go no outside but to room with much more lite the screen will be more strong

its like the auto brightness even when off still doing somthing to keep the screen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] seczdbz:
It may be to protect your eyes or something but mine does this as well.

Auto Brightness - Off

Manually set brightness to highest point

Then if you go from a dim room to sunlight the screen will brighten up even with auto brightness off so you can see it under sunlight.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] angka8:
Anyone manage to get this issue resolved? When the phone get hot, the screen dim to the extend u cannot see clearly under the bright hot sun. Using Samsung superb chip. Really lots of issue with note 20 ultra. Samsung taking customer for granted now!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
When the screen is too bright it heats up then dims? Sounds like well thought out safety process implemented by samsung for people like you. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] angka8:
That is a big problem. I am just using Chrome and not playing games. Why would it heat up so freaking fast!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Chrome? I stopped using that resources hungry POS browser years ago. I advice you do the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] coilbio:
Works well on all my phones, but our individual experience with chrome doesn't add much to the fact that Samsung's software might be limiting the user experience, which it is, more so than other manufacturers.

After all, we should be the ones to dictate what we want to use for web browser or any other app and not have to change it because samsung has buggy software managing it's hardware. Other manufacturers have it down, imy currently loving my xperia mark 2 and the way it's optimized.

I have the same problem with my TV, as I found out the problem is from the brand side. They choose a rom that that does not have this... The only way to give permision to an app is only through ADB that it is not an easy job
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] sophiesaelig:
I also have the same issue with my TV, waiting for the solution.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ReX-Hell2heAven:
I've gone crazy **** about this issue. I badly wanted to use Button Mapper but couldn't find the app under Accessibility Services. After 1 whole day of head storming, I was able to do it. It's the only way for now as the above user said some TVs not enabled accessibility menu in settings. This can be solved by their system update but till then we have to do manually with ADB.

You should have knowledge of ADB shell commands running through USB debugging with the help of ADB minimal tools or android SDK(please google if you don't know).

Enable developer settings and USB debugging. Connect TV to your computer having ADB tools. Remember only USB 2.0 port will work so don't use 3.0

Run "adb devices" to check whether TV got connected.

If connected then run this command

"adb shell settings put secure enabled_accessibility_services PKGname/ServiceName"

,here package name is your app package name where as service name is one of the app's services which seeking accessibility service.

For example I tried for Button Mapper(to map the remote buttons and it won't run without accessibility service enabled).

"adb shell settings put secure enabled_accessibility_services flar2.homebutton/flar2.homebutton.utils"

After that run another command for WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS(this is must)

"adb shell pm grant PKGname android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS"

in my case it is "adb shell pm grant flar2.homebutton android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS"

This will resolve the issue without any problem. If you know adb commands then you can play with all the permissions and services for the apps.

Run above commands without quotes. To check apps package,permissions,services you can user any app manager/analyser app. I'm using FX explorer which is best file explorer and app manager. I'm attaching snaps which will be helpful. Let me know if you still face issues.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] gia2efarmoges:
The same way I resolved this and other apps
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] flar2:
The only thing you need to do with Button Mapper is this:

adb shell pm grant flar2.homebutton android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

The app will take care of the rest after it has that permission
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Deleted member 1198227:
Perhaps anyone knows this:

In my tv sony XH900 (it has accessibility menu, it's not my problem), when i use button mapper and give accessibility permission through the menu, it works fine, but there is one bug:

Volume buttons +- doesn't work continually.. By keep press + for example, it just increase sound only 1 step. I have to press and left, the button many times to increase sound more steps..

Is this the default for all tv if you use button mapper or only mine?

Is there any solution?

Thanks,
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] xQuantum:
I have the accessibility menu but when I install any app it doesn't appear on accessibility menu at all.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ReX-Hell2heAven:
Wow...Din't expect your reply. If you're official developer or team of Button Mapper, just want to tell you one thing.

"You saved my ass so many times". I just love your app and have been using it since a year, happy to say I paid for full version since starting.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] BahaaEx:
Thank you, I did it at the same app.
