I've been glhaving issues too after it worked for awhile. Couldn't deal with no presets thing so tried different Magisks, etc with no luck and now it won't process. I'll update if I find something.

EDIT: the module at https://zackptg5.com/android.php#viper works if run in legacy mode.

How to go about flashing the latest OTA?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] bb709394:
The method I prefer is:

download the factory stock image

extract the boot file and patch with Magisk Manager

restart phone, copy magisk_patched file to your adb folder

edit the flash-all.bat file and remove "-w" at the end of the script

reboot into bootloader

run flash-all.bat file

let the phone reboot

reboot into bootloader

flash magisk_patched file

I am summarizing most of the steps; however, it is very similar to the Pixel 4XL method https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-root-pixel-4-xl-android-11-r.4160441.

Obviously, there are other ways to retain root to do an OTA. However, I find that there is a lower probability of things going wrong using the my method and I have been doing this for quite some time (P2 XL, P3 XL, P4 XL, and now P4a 5G).

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] shashankk001:
THE PROBLEM

My phone Asus Max Pro M1 6GB variant running android oreo (8.1.0) usually stops responding to touch randomly at any point which can usually be resolved by :

Locking screen -> waiting for 30 - 40 seconds -> relocking screen.

Sometimes, after a long phone charging session, it stops responding to touch or it does not even respond to unlock. When it stops responding to unlock, I try rebooting it, and then trying to enter the PIN. Sometimes, after the 1st reboot things don't change and at screen lock where it asks for PIN, it does not accept any touch input, so PIN cannot be entered, and I have to reboot multiple times till it works. I literally don't know at which reboot the screen lock asking for PIN will respond to touch.

WHERE AM I STUCK NOW?

Currently, my phone is not responding to touch, so I'm unable to enter PIN at reboot/start-up. For the last 24 hours I've been trying to reboot hoping that the next reboot will accept the touch input. Usually, the problem would go away by 2nd or 3rd reboot, but this time its getting just frustrating.

WHAT I TRIED:

I tried to unlock the bootloader from fastboot to flash a TWRP image intending to backup my data. But unfortunately, some problem occurs saying Write to device failed / Too many links / Unknown error / Command failed, etc, etc. I have a Ryzen 3 processor, and I do know the usb 3.0 problem associated with it. I also tried changing usb cable.

WHAT I WANT:

I don't want to lose my data and apps. I want it to remain in my Phone.

WHAT I FEEL (Correct me if I'm wrong):

Frankly, I don't know what different Asus service guys would do, I'm not an expert or know how they work but I feel that they won't be able to resolve this thing, because, if they really were capable of resolving this, they probably would have released an update which rectifies this touch issue.

TO ASUS GUYS

What is the point if you provide a phone with 6GB RAM, 64 GB ROM, a good processor which almost never lags even during multiple resource intensive apps running, but your touch functionality is unreliable. You guys probably should have just integrated a bad touch screen, at least I'd know that I need to get my screen replaced. Don't provide big specs if you don't know how to write good code.

Seeking your expertise. Thanks in advance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] clstan:
When I surf with my Tilt...there aren't many "background" applications trying to get out to the net to do updates and such. But with a Windows PC...there are MANY applications running in the background doing/checking for updates. I have a lot of applications that run on my PC normally that I WANT running and updating...but I DON"T want them running if I'm tethered to my Tilt.

Could monitoring the websites/services we are trying to access be a way that our service providers can detect whether we are surfing from our phone or a tethered PC?

Could one use a firewall package to stealth the PC from the cellular network?

Hear me out:

- One would need a firewall package that can be configured for multiple operating/security profiles.

- One profile would be configured for normal PC operation via either Ethernet, WiFi, or whatever (except cellular).

- Another profile would be configured for the cellular connection that would block EVERYTHING except a web browser and maybe an email program.

I've used a few firewall programs before...but can't remember if there was a way to configure different operating/security profiles.

Anyone know of a good Firewall package that can do these?

I think we need to try a few packages and see what we can do with them.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pyraxiate:
You could try configuring two separate firewalls. Use the bult-in windows firewall to block ports and applications regularly, and then use something like Nortons firewall congfigured to block all but the primary ports ( 80/443/8080/ect. . . . )

Just enable windows firewall when regularly browsing, then when you tether, you can disable the built in firewall and enable nortons :)

Just a thought

[Moto E6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Yes. The "Bad Key" and "N/A" notifications are not errors. They are simply indicators that you flashed a stock firmware package with your bootloader in an unlocked state. Although annoying, these dialogues do not have any effect on the functionality of the device. In fact, there are custom boot logos you can flash to get rid of the annoyance. Otherwise it has no impact whatsoever on normal operations.

I bought one of these used, and it was initially asking for the unlock code, sadly it was also asking for a regular password to use the phone so I had to do a factory reset to get in, after that it stopped asking for the unlock code, still carrier locked though.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] marioho:
Regarding the Exynos variants of the S20 family (standard, plus and Ultra). Do they natively support Aptx and AAC bluetooth audio codecs?

If so, how is the experience? When connecting a supported TWS, does it automatically transmit via the best codec available (presumably Aptx > AAC > SBC)? Or do you need to manually switch to AptX/AAC in the Developer Options, with the phone reverting to SBC whenever it is reconnected to the device?

Haha yes, I'm fully aware that both phone and earbuds need to support said codecs. It is just that I'm reading conflicting reports online. Even reports confirming that it does support AptX and AAC, often they say they need to fiddle in the developer options to make the connection stick to the desired codec – so it is either the user not really knowing their hardware or Samsung user experience on these devices being suboptimal.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] blackhawk:
The Samsung Scalable codec is the highest resolution codec for the Buds. LDAC is better if the audio device supports it, few do.

Normally SSC is auto enabled when you connect the Galaxy Buds. You can manually set it (or view current codec setting) in Developer options.

The phone will shift codecs on the fly depending on the source.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] marioho:
No Galaxy Buds in my case, mate. I've got an assortment of TWS and they vary between aptx, aptx HD and AAC codecs.

The conflicting reports I've read are indeed all about third party audio devices and the spotty codec implementation. In theory looks like at least the snapdragon S20s should be able to deal with them, but (1) I've yet to see it confirmed regarding the Exynos phones and (2) people still report having a hard time making the phone stick with Aptx or AAC without it reverting to SBC.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] blackhawk:
I go with either LDAC wireless buds or headphones.

Or the Galaxy Buds+. I have the Buds+, with Poweramp they sound pretty good, great for calls, very good battery life and link up fast.

The highest available resolution codecs for the bt chipset on the phone are LDAC then SSC; Aptx and AAC are inferior to the two former ones.

This is a chipset hardware limitation; no firmware upgrade can improve it ie no AptX-HD will be possible.

All the latest Sammy's phones have this huge short coming.

Take my first suggestion and be happy... good as it gets.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] marioho:
Haha thank you! I'll probably clear my cart though. Never had a samsung phone and was closing the deal on a S20+ when it crossed my mind that Aptx et al is a Qualcomm codec, so I should not take it for granted on an Exynos phone.

Unfortunately I have no interest in switching to the galaxy Buds. It's been a long way on the TWS road already - MPOW, Shanling, Edifier, Fiil, Bomaker. They all have different codecs but they usually sound their best either with AAC or Aptx. Listening through SBC on them usually gives a pretty metallic sound like if I had a pair of tin cans for headphones.

I'm sure the buds work wonders with SSC* as it's been highly reviewed time and time again but I'm not willing to take a leap of faith with my devices nor to invest even more on a new TWS.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Phinixs:
Hi,

I have a sony wh-1000xm4 which supports ldac. But I cannot select the ldac codec in the developer option. It is fixed at aac. I can only downgrade to sbc. I have s20 exynos version.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Artula:
In order for you to select the LDAC codec you need to do the following:

1. Connect your headset via Bluetooth to your S20.

2. Install the Sony app for the headset

3. Configure your headset in the Sony app with the following setting: SonyApp > Headphones > Sound Quality Mode > Priority on Sound Quality

4. Go to the general Bluetooth settings (swide down and hold your finger onto the Bluetooth icon) and from the list of connected bluetooth devices press on the "wheel" icon next to your Sony device.

5. Turn on the switch where it says: Codecs > LDAC

Now what you also should know is that LDAC is only superior to the other codecs, yes even the Samsung's scalable codec, if you turn up the Bluetooth Audio LDAC Codec's Playback Quality to the max "990kbps/909kbps".

If you don't turn that up you're better off with one of the aptX codecs than LDAC. Search the internet for all the details.

Do the following steps only after you've done the above steps to configure your S20 to use the highest quality for the LDAC codec:

Activate "Developer options" on your Android (skip this step if you already did that):

1. Go to Settings > About phone > Software information > repeatedly tap on the text "Build number" and agree to unlock developer mode.

Configure the LDAC codec on Android to its full potential:

2. Go to Settings > Developer options > Bluetooth Audio LDAC Code: Playback Quality > tap on the text > choose "Optimized for Audio Quality (990kbps/909kbps)"

Please note that till date (June 2021) Android still automatically resets this playback quality setting to the lowest if you disconnect your headset and reconnect, so it is necessary to do this step everytime you connect your headset. Unfortunately, Google nor Samsung seems to have any intention whatsoever to fix this issue with the developer options. Some ppl actually are going full Stockholm and try to convince themselves and others that this is normal behavior for the dev settings, they argue that the dev settings isn't a normal app and therefore it's actually supposed to not remember your settings for it.

I think if you already spent the money on a decent headset like yours, why not use it to its fullest potential? After all good sound enhances your overall experience of life.

[General Questions and Answers] doublehp:
Android 7

In some/many cases, when i tap at some places, Android needs to know which action to perform. Example, when there is a phone number in a meeting, the calendar asks me how to handle the phone number. I have several phone apps, so, it asks me which phone app I want to use. For the first one, it asks me "only once", or "always this one".

My prefered app is not the first one; how to I set "always" for an other one from the list ?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i-nfjsv_8EwhtRdyp8qyVv-FPDtYwI3M/view?usp=sharing

The question is specific to android 7, because other android versions behave a different way.

I have tried single, double, and long tap. Long tap opens the app properties, and double tap launches is the same way as single. Even after using the same app 20 times, it will remain at the same "low" position in the list. For brosers (for links), the list order may change, and the top one may change. But for phone numbers, and contact edition, the top app is ALWAYS the one installed in /system.

Maybe some app can help customizing this ? I am rooted+xposed.

Hello,

I am looking to root my A50, model SM-A505W, and I need the correct TWRP file in order to do so. I am having a hard time finding the correct file. I am unable to find the file on twrp.me, which is where I normally go to find these files. I have read a few other threads on here that provide a TWRP file, but I am unsure if they work with the Canadian model or are safe to use. I should preface by saying I am relatively new to rooting. I have rooted a Galaxy S5 and S6, and had a few issues but managed to solve them. My main concern is getting stuck in a bootloop by flashing the wrong software to the device. At that point I would rather have done my due diligence first rather than flashing a file that I am unsure of! Really I am just asking for clarification if I can use the TWRP files from either,

[General Questions and Answers] pyereciae2788:
I finally found a way to disable/uninstall apps after a long time, and I could put the ADB I got to use. I've been looking for a way to disable/uninstall various apps, especially the ones that can't be normally disabled/uninstalled, and came across this article: www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/. It really helped, since I couldn't get root on my phone (not available).

I started with some apps I knew I don't use (most of the google ones), but accidentally uninstalled a few necessary ones. I got one of them back via ADB, but not the other two: com.google.android.setupwizard and com.google.android.configupdater. Does anyone know where I could find the APKs file for setup wizard and configupdater? I couldn't find them on apkpure.com... If these aren't necessary for using an android-based device, please let me know.

A minor thing I noticed is that I can still disable apps after uninstalling via ADB and turn off data. Also, I could turn off special access settings (appear on top, change system settings, etc.) but those revert to on after a moment. It doesn't bother me too much (as much as the fact that uninstalled apps still remain in the Apps list).

Edit: accidentally removed com.sec.android.app.personalization (can't find on apkpure).
