Was able to scan my card for GPay registration, so NFC is definitely working. Haven't tried a terminal yet, but I will. Honestly, this type of payment (tap to pay radio chip) is very common in Europe, but not as common in the US, so Americans are not going to see this as much of an issue. European bros are gonna have to be the squeaky wheel for the P5 community on this one.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] ShadowDragon:
It worked for me at two different terminals today.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
Same for a couple of friends of mine in the US. I know one migrated his data (which was rumored to be the cause), but I'm not sure of the other. Mine hasn't shipped yet from my carrier so I can't speak for myself.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] LuMe96:
From what I read and as far as I am concerned the issue resumes to the fact that payments "simply" get rejected by the terminal.

I had no issues to enroll the card in G Pay on my Pixel 5. When trying to pay, phone is detected by the terminal, transaction is in process and then payment is rejected by the terminal, no errors on the phone.

Contacted Google but still waiting for a substantial response from them
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] :
Google tech team got in contact with me about this issue, asking me for some debug logs in order to analyze what is going on. At least an official investigation.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] LuMe96:
Well I do hope it's just for cross-checking that the solution they hopefully already have up their sleeves is fine. If they only start to investigate now I'm afraid we won't see a correction fast.

Would you mind sharing the catch log procedure so it could catch some next time I try making a payment?

Ok, as previously mentioned I did a factory reset and clean install yesterday even though my first setup didn't include any restauration either.

Just tried and Google Pay did work this time.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] moegdaog:
First of i would like to say their really should be a new sticky for tcpmp problems and even people who have upgraded to coreplayer and are STILL having sluggish slow fps problems. i completly abandoned tcpmp player...period because of all this.

So i have the newest version of coreplayer now, i went ahead and got it because tcpmp is now idle and useless with the new 6.1 professional obviously...and if some of you have tcpmp working you are very LUCKY.

So anyway tcpmp was very sluggish fps and choppy, so i went ahead and got with coreplayer, and ive noticed with the upgrade.. it is SLIGHTLY...and i mean SLIGHTLY better in video playback and picture quality then tcpmp...i have HTC ca drivers installed, all the test run fine...i even tried to the samsung drivers....so since i noticed a slight improvement with coreplayer in watching my avis and mpeg4's videos and movies(dvd rips)...so i know...its gotta be my settings....

I used to be able to watch crystal clear movies, videos through avi and mpeg4 on WM 6.0, i only started having these problems with upgrading to 6.1 professional. Youtube still plays fine but im just getting low fps and sluggish response on videos with coreplayer...so does anybody have a set of settings that works perfectly fine and you can watch dvd rip movies and such crystal clear? plz post your buffer settings and anything else that may help some of us...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] moegdaog:
I guess nobody knows...I mean all the threaads I've read have been people convert videos down to screen resolution......so then theirs no choppy ness in coreplayer...but with wm 6.0 orwith tcpmp also when I watched riped dvds sent from my computer, I never hd to do this and all my movies were crytal clear.....why all of a sudden I have to start converting movies now? is there something wrong with 6.1 cooked roms? should we all d/l att 6.1 cuz its real 6.1 instead of cooked ones and maybe nobody will have have bugs with all these other roms
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] henrynhl:
I have similar problem before, but ever since I converted all my video files to FLV extension, the problem's gone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Kalwren:
I've been using the upgraded version of Coreplayer for months and haven't had a problem with it.

I have it installed on my storage card.

The only quirk I've found, is that if you plug your storage card into your computer to copy files (I do this with Vista, so maybe it's a Vista thing), it'll try to defrag the card and it hoses up the software on it.

You could try a master reset on your phone and reinstall Coreplayer. That may improve your framerate.

I seriously don't have a framerate problem (unless I play HUGE files that are 1024x768, it's choppy with those). I have several videos that I've downloaded from the 'net and I copy them to my phone and play them, without converting them. Average video size is 35mb.

I'm thinking it may be something else in your phone thats causing the lag. When was the last time you actually shut it off and turned it back on?

[Fire TV Themes and Apps] CuF:
First, thanks for this. I did notice that a newer version (v1.1.0) is available on APKmirror.

What's interesting about this is the menu is in landscape and the highlighting in the picture suggests it's compatible with remote usage. The 'regular' version of this app has neither.

This could be great for Android televisions, but running the app after installation gives me a page saying it's incompatible with the device. I don't know if that is a check of the hardware specs or if it's an Amazon device.

I started poking at the code (and I have little skill there) and didn't see what might bypass that.

Any have any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] riparke:
Anybody know what this is? Have a Verizon phone on total wireless with September software, tried "software update assistant" in system updates (phone said no updates available). It loaded Verizon update on PC and smart switch on phone and then said update TH7 is ready. I backed out not knowing what it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] StoneyJSG:
It's an OTA carrier update. These are official updates. It will give you the latest security patch and maybe some other features.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] riparke:
Thanks, it was the October update. The phone was purchased from Sprint, then switched to Verizon and then to Total wireless. Was on the August update and tried the "software upgrade assistant" and it loaded the Verizon update app on my windows 10 desktop. I'm happy, the Total SIM I guess left the Verizon software on the phone.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Charbs:
I just installed 17.1 and Mad Kernel. Now my battery doesn't even last half a day and the phone gets really hot near the top left.

I used Skydragon for a couple years with zero issues.

Not sure if there is a fix for this or if I should just bail and move to a different ROM.

Could it be a bad combination of the custom kernel and custom ROM?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
Try without mad kernel. LineageOS has a kernel!
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Charbs:
I couldn't find the kernel. Is it a separate file to download or does it automatically get flashed when I install lineage?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
It's part of the zip file. Boot.IMG and it is automatically flashed. Who told you to flash a modified kernel?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Charbs:
I had it when I tried MXM cuz the fingerprint was slow and they suggested mad kernel.

So maybe I'll just redo a dirty flash with lineage to get their kernel back in there.

If anyone is curious it was Google photos that was draining my battery and causing heat issues.

[Android Head-Units] veletron:
Hi

On Amazon UK there are several head units that look identical and have identical specs PX6, 4GB ram, 64GB storage etc, they are branded 'Pumpkin' and 'Vanku'. I am thinking that the internals are identical, I have heard of Pumpkin, but the Vanku is currently £50 less with the voucher. Is there a difference? Does anyone have experience of Vanku?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] comptechltd:
I just bought one. Finished installing it yesterday. The reason I bought the Vanku over the pumpkin is the Vanku uses an mtce mcu whereas the pumpkin uses something different. I love this headunit so far. I'm coming from an atoto and this thing has blown me away. The boot time is phenomenal from both cold and warm boot. I bought the 4/64 model. The only complaint I have is the bezel size is about 2mm bigger length and height. I had to cut my metra adapter panel to get it to fit. Another big shock is that so far the Bluetooth sound quality is great from what people have told me. I am gonna post more of my thoughts on this forum after using it a day or two. But right now this is hands down the best H.U. I have ever owned.
[Android Head-Units] veletron:
Any thoughts as to update availability for this, I note the Pumpkin has a reasonable website/forum, but for Vanku its a bit scant, and one single, unanswered post in their forum!

Also, what advantages does the mtce mcu give over the alternatives?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] comptechltd:
No I don't know about updates for this and I also can't speak to the long term reliability. The reason I wanted an mtce is there is more 'aftermarket' support on xda forums. If it fails on me I seem to change out every couple of years anyway because these evolve so quickly anyway.
[Android Head-Units] veletron:
That's a reasonable point - I currently have an Ownice C200, that has served me well for over 5 years (!), and I have not had to seek out any updates for it, however it feels really slow these days, I think the PX6 would be a rocket ship by comparison! Mine is stuck on Android 4.4 so some Apps wont run on it these days. A 2-year upgrade cycle would make more sense esp given how cheap these things are.
[Android Head-Units] comptechltd:
Well the speed of this one will literally "blow you away". I was in awe even with a cold boot. To me this is the HU I have always wanted. I know I sound like a fan boy but I am super impressed so far. I played with in on the bench for a couple of days and finished installing it yesterday so I can't give a long term review but I am very happy. After researching quite a bit my first plan was to install a better heat sink. I pulled the top off and found it had a pretty robust heat sink from the factory so I just put it back together.

Like I said...it may crap out in 2 weeks but for now I am very impressed. I added the agama launcher and the navradio+ interface for the radio portion and it's almost exactly where I want it.

Oh...forgot to add....per the amazon answers from the seller...the pumpkin does NOT support any TPMS. That's another reason I went with the Vanku.
[Android Head-Units] lacom:
I'm looking as well and looks identical. Even seller is the same. Vanku £229.99 with voucher, pumpkin £269.99

I think i'll wait a bit cos looks like pumpkin was £190 till September

I ordered this vanku and backup camera combo for $109

https://www.amazon.com/Vanku-Androi...X4M/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=vanku&sr=8-4

I installed it and so far it's been great. I've used the headunit reloaded emulated app to connect and it's working. I've also used the mirrorlink app easyconnect and it's worked fine also. The only problem I've experienced so far is that the AM radio is very weak.

Highly recommended! BTW, it's a FF-5000, I had determined that it's an AA0501B, which doesn't exist anywhere on the net, however their is a pumpkin identified is AA0502A (https://forum.autopumpkin.com/viewtopic.php?t=15869). They appear to be identical.

Hi,

How is the hiss? My Pumpklin version ( if I can say that) has a horrible hiss when unmuted regardless of the volume (same intensity fortunately so it is masked at higher volume). I've beefed up the ground wire however it is still there.

Thanks!

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] pbman1953:
I downloaded the file on Tuesday and the phone has been working great. FYI, there is a wipe involved with the download. There's no warning before the fact it's during the setup.

Anyway, the phone has been great but last night, while charging, I noticed that the charging percentage and the time were not changing and the phone froze. My first freeze ever with any phone. The only thing I could think of was to hold the power button. After 4-5 , power button holds it recycled and came back.

One thing I noticed is that the phone, while charging, was warmer than usual and historically this phone doesn't get warm or hot.

Just a heads up, I may set up a chat with Oneplus just to see what they say
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Deleted member 5408779:
I guess you were on open beta. Its always like that if you "downgrade" from beta to stable there is a wipe involved.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] pbman1953:
I was on beta but now I'm on the final, which I downloaded Tuesday. From my chat with OP ,minutes ago, they told me to clear the cache from the power menu and report back to them if this happens again.

Recovery then wipe system..you'll need to reset up your phone but your storage will remain intact..

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Definitely a tonne of benefits to rooting.

To name a few:

Backing up and restoring apps and their data as they are.

Proper ad blocking system wide.

Modifying the phone: centre clock, removing zram.

Magisk mods

Root apps like WiFi kill, Kali, system UI tuner

Kernels

Magisk ROMs

Full ROMs

I couldn't have an android phone without rooting. I've lived with a Huawei so I know how dull it gets.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] pbman1953:
On the routing your making me curious-

Backing up and restoring apps and their data as they are.- not sure what this does

Proper ad blocking system wide.- add blocking where, Google, Facebook etc?

Modifying the phone: centre clock, removing zram.- I'm ok with the clock, what is zram?

Magisk mods- have never used them, but back in the day when I had my Note 4 there was a cool prgram for rooting that had all kinds of mods and tools

Root apps like WiFi kill, Kali, system UI tuner- not sure how that benefits me

Kernels- not sure what they do

Magisk ROMs- I see them here talked about alot

Full ROMs- When I had my Note 4 I tried roms all the time. They were cool but there was always some kind of bugginess about them

Since my Note 4, I've been out of the rooting game.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Titanium can back up or remove any app as it is. If you remove let's say a game you'll lose all progress unless you have a sync feature.

The only add blocking you can have without root is using a fake VPN, it's overkill and not as efficient at removing ads. And yes ads from the whole device and all apps.

Zram ? Google it.

Magisk - yes the mod is magisk.

Not sure how they benefit you? I'm losing the will to live here, they were examples, you find what you need.

Kernels - Google it

Note 4 I had it myself, some of the absolute worst examples of ROMs on XDA.

You crack on at stock you seem happier there.

It was just a suggestion. Nvm
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] pbman1953:
Thanks for writing back. For me I'm a performance junky. I'm not a gamer just a surfer that wants a high octane machine, if possible. Does rooting do that? I remember Titanium from the past , good tool and you have to be careful is what I remember.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Nah titanium is safe.

Does rooting help with speed, I would say so yes, I've made a phone run an emulator it had no business running..

Mainly through zram being disabled and having a kernel that allows a higher clock speed, plus the ROM I was running being as light and efficient as possible..

Stock simply cannot compare with that.

Everyone on here wants the fastest phone, the 865 in the 8 pro is the fastest processor there is..it's quicker than the Nvidia shield pro which I have, it can run things that the shield can't..

Performance isn't an issue with way, but yes being rooted opens doors that just don't exist for stock.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Nosferatu.:
To play devil's advocate on the rooting thing...

I've been doing the android thing since gingerbread (good 7+ years). Back then it was an absolute MUST. These days not so much.

Most of the reasons to root back then was to add features that weren't available in Android stock ROMs at the time.

Let me give you some CONs to rooting before you jump into it...if these don't apply then have at it and have fun. It's fairly easy to do on this phone and once you have TWRP up and running you can pretty much revert any screw up and get your phone back up and running and have fun with tinkering.

1.) Do you enjoy Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube TV (TV service not YouTube app), or any other app that requires Winevine DRM encryption? OnePlus devices drop from L1 to L3 once you unlock the bootloader (requirement for root). Those apps will now all be at 480P 30FPS instead of 720p/1080p or 60 FPS. Total deal breaker for me watching sports on the road need the 60 FPS.

2.) Do you like to use GPay? It can work but it's a cat/mouse game with Google Play Services.

3.) It's fun theming with Substratum but every time there's an app update you have to hope it doesn't bork the theme. Gotta install an OTA? Disable all your modules, uninstall your themes, flash, and then re-enable. Tedious. Maybe I"m getting older but wife, kids, family stuff I don't want to be messing around with all this?

4.) Want ad-blocking? Blokada works excellent. I have an old rooted tablet (Tab S3) and it uses AdAway. Both effectively block my ads. Also I run a personal VPN at my house with PiHole so I can block that way too by connecting to my home VPN on the road.

5.) Swift Backup will backup most of your apps without root. It'll restore them without data. I've never in the 7 years of messing with Android had a perfect 1:1 restore with TWRP and Titanium Backup.. There's always little things that act up. Not a deal breaker these days missing Titanium Backup. Especially when not root and constantly mucking with the system it's usually pretty rock solid not requiring a constant TWRP/Titanium solution.

6.) Most praise Viper4Android. Great app. Stock it sounds fine for portable use. No phone DAC is going to compete with dedicated equipment so you're basically polishing a turd. There's better equipment out there to get solid audio. Phone isn't one of them.

7.) I haven't looked into rooting this phone for months so my last point is dated and I believe there is a fix but last i checked (once again a few months back haven't been on XDA for a bit) there were some serious fingerprint loss when unlocking the bootloader and then trying to relock or use MSMTool to go back to stock.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Steve0007:
1- L1 remains after rooting

2- Gpay works as it should after rooting

3- Substratum theme dont break anything at least the ones I use

4- best seems Adaway - needs root

5- to save /data TWRP, fastest and easiest. Oneplus backup not bad

6- viper4android, that requires Root makes the sound much better on this phone

7- I never faced the fingerprints loss and anyway there is fix on the threads
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
I was literally about to say all of this. +1111111

Spot on.

Weird thing for me these days is not needing twrp, it's always been my safety net, but it's just not needed these days, if they ever get rid of Fastboot then it's game over, I'll be buying an iPhone.

The great thing about OOS and magisk ROMs is it retains the goodness from stock and gives you the tweaks systemlessly. Which is nice and safety net passes.

I agree with all of the above.

But either way @ the OP you do you, I'll do me.

PS: I've been doing the android thing since the G1 which was doughnut I think it was it cupcake?

If something is a risk to you then you haven't looked into it enough, there is always a way back, which is where you learn the most about yourself and your device.

;)
