Sir ok google not working

It turns off automatically when I leave the settings page

Notification led works fine now and face unlock good
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] WideTracked:
Yes ok google doesn't work for me either
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] chenjohnliu:
For my experience so far, for the pixel-based ROM (Pixel Experience, Pixel Reload and EvolutionX), the best one is Pixel Reload.

There is a bug for last two version of Pixel Reload: sometime finger print doesn't work. But it seems to be resolved now!
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SgtFrost372:
Thanks a lot for speedy updates. Your dedication is truly unmatchable. Some bugs I found:

1. Page indicator of Quick settings is broken. It does not have a third dot for the third page when the media tile is shown.

2. In the face unlock update, the fingerprint sensor has become less reliable.

3. When the camera is searching for face, the status bar in the lock screen vanishes.

4. A very useless thing to say but the cat controls doesn't work properly. Water bubbler stays at 200 ml all the time. Please dont bash me 😅😅.

Some wishes:

1. Please add swipe to screenshot and quick settings tile expander.

2. Also is there a way to push incremental updates like PE? I am on a data capped plan and it becomes a little hard to consume 1.2 GB every alternate day on update. Hope you understand.

I will update if I find any more bugs. And once again thanks a lot. ✌️✌️✌️
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Fucgly:
is there any file to disable the blur behind the notification drawer.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] :
Yes developer option disable blurs

[Redmi K30 5G  Questions & Answers] abhi281:
Hello,

I am under xiaomi.eu ROM (latest one) and I have TWRP recovery (3.4.0 unofficial) installed as recovery. But I want to completely remove this recovery/format the recovery partition. is it possible without flashing stock ROM again?

I just want to keep my recovery empty/stock with no TWRP or PBRP. Any suggestion?
[Redmi K30 5G  Questions & Answers] masemoel:
Go to fastboot and

fastboot erase recovery

Though I don't know the use of erasing the recovery partition, as it can be useful if you ever face any bootloop issue or receive any xiaomi.eu update (you need a recovery to flash OTA updates).
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mentis:
Having fixed my SMS problem, I now have another question.

Should the GPS work out of the box? I have added the googlemaps app but can't seem to pull up my location.

Should I try hard reboot? Any suggestions on how to get this working?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kareeem:
No, don't try a hard reset. First download the satellite updates from Quick GPS and then your device should pick up a GPS signal.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stuartforrest:
I had to set mine to com port 4 before it worked. Any slow baud rate seems to work.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] PGLion:
My first fix took me over 20 minutes, now it's faster, but nothing compared with my HTC 3300.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mrvanx:
Yer the GPS takes the longest to get the first fix...same with most devices....if its been offline for a while again it takes a little longer.

For example my holux bt321 says it will get a fix in 6 seconds....but the first fix was around 4 minutes.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Coromoto:
On the Touch Pro I also had the same problem, I switched to the GPD1 port (???) and then I got a fix in Google Maps. The location indicated was a good 100 - 200 meters away from where I was though, so could the GPS be wrong? I had already downloaded the QuickGPS data before leaving the house 15 minutes earlier, so that should not be the issue.

What are the GPD ports anyways? On which port does/should the internal GPS communicate with WM6.1 / GoogleMaps?

Also, is there somewhere to enable or disable the GPS in the first place (not in the navigation software that is?)
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] markoscouse:
Basically the title, it hasn't worked since MIUI 12 first came out, now after updates it still doesn't work as intended.

I'm on MIUI 12.0.3 EEA, anyone got a solution?

Also, any idea if tap to wake AOD will ever arrive to global models?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] markoscouse:
Update: Display items for 10 seconds after tapping doesn't do anything, AOD is still always on.

Anyone with the same issue and maybe a solution?

Currently on 12.0.4 EEA, done a factory reset and it's still broken.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Quidam isatis:
It will goes off if you turn on miui optimisation in devolopper options .
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] markoscouse:
Hahahahha, I genuinely can't believe that was the reason.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Too early to believe, but Samsung Opera House(Bengaluru) has started taking blind prebooking for the Galaxy S21 series already as per THIS article.

Unsurprisingly India would get the Exynos 2100 SoC in this series and I just hope it performs on par with Snapdragon 888.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Limeybastard:
Why would they make the screen smaller for the s21 ultra than the existing one ? No one seems to have mentioned this.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] 2015Ducatimulti:
yeah its only .100" smaller, too me that`s not a big thing for me, but the thing is it will have the LTPO display which I guess is supposed to give better contrast to black colors, also I`m not sure but i have heard talk of the fingerprint reader being 2x faster...... so well see, I`ll be ordering one in the unlocked in black the 512gb version
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] droidrev71:
In the USA you can register for your S21 in the Samsung Shop app. Looks like you get an extra $70 store credit for registering. Can't wait to get the S21 ultra!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
The thing I like about Samsung out here in India is that with perks of cashbacks & coupons(if prebooked) the pricing becomes eqivalent to the USA pricing(has been so far) ..

I'm finding the news info@ S21 series interesting too. Will get "Exynos" but highly it feels like it would be on par this time around, if not better, excluding the GPU.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
I seriously hope the LTPO on the S21 series is far more superior to the one on Note 20U.

I had serious banding/green tint issues and a horrible battery drain problem due to it. The 60fps video recording also had hunting issues even with laser auto focus.

I'm back to S20U, the display feels a lot more stable and a long lasting battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Rose4uKY:
We're coming from S10+ getting the Ultra cause of the specs and my husband likes the camera features. It'll probably be to big for me but I am getting it. We won't upgrade for a while so I want the best of the bunch.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] casiouser:
Do you think there will be any discounts with pricing if you don't trade in? I have a S9+ right now and am waffling back and forth between getting the S21 Ultra or getting a Note 20 Ultra ($800 thru work).
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zaydenQ:
Have pre-reserved for S21 series because I thought we'd get the Buds Pro and Smart tag as preorder offers alongwith the free case. That is what the leakers had said a few days back but not it seems Buds Pro won't be part of the offer. Also coupled with missing charger and possible missing SD card and extra charges for SPen, will it be worth spending so much extra to sell my Note 20 U for the S21U?

P.S. The only reason I was willing to upgrade was because my Note 20 U is getting heated up a lot + because of the Exynos 2100 finally catching up to SD.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
You got the VIP pass for the next Galaxy after you pre reserved it?

In India prebooking is of no use, last time for the Note 20U the cashback and freebies were offered even to customers who did not prebook and bought the phone well after the prebook purchase window. (craze for flagships in India are at an all time low, thanks to OnePlus and Samsung themselves).

Also the Note 20U was up in the corporate program with 5% discount in a matter of few days including the 9k cashback and freebies.

I will get the S21U only during the first week of Feb.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
I'm expecting the price to be around 90k for S21U 256gig, anything more than that, I might as well wait for Z flip 2/3 later in April.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zaydenQ:
No I didn't get any VIP pass. Was I supposed to? If I don't like what I see tomorrow, I am going to just refund my ₹2000 and wait for Feb/March to buy it. The only thing keeping me from the flip/fold is that the camera is always a generation behind in these devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
I for one, do no find these "pre-registering"(or any other name) hulabaloos fascinating at all given that it's a Samsung flagship.

Irrespective of card/cash or other payment methods, I've been getting Samsung flagships on the very 1st day of market release buying from small retailers for a much lower price than the price quoted by bigger retailers or the biggest retailers with a fixed price or buying directly from Samsung online or offline for quite sometime now. The cost everytime turns out to be the lowest this way in comparison to the cost combined with any other CC/DC cashbacks/corporate offers/exchange offers/finance schemes etc... you name it.

Samsung tends(or "pretends" to be precise) to be strict with such retailers but being consumers all we need is a genuinely sourced product and a proper invoice. It makes sense because once we want to sell it later, the resale value will not at all differ based on which store we bought it from.

+

In my case, prebooking offers are always applicable in the first place as one or the other re-seller does pre-booking taking the required credentials after me getting bombarded with calls soon after official announcement of the flagship.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Smaller retailer like non Samsung but authorized dealers like Sangeetha Mobiles, Chroma, Reliance Digital?

By how much you get a discount on the selling price, I have never tried this as I always get it from the Samsung Cafe.:(

I kinda feel awkward asking for a discount in Samsung Cafes :p
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
No not those big formats, they don't as they don't need to and they can't either. Smart cafés can but they will not.

Instead, approach a few small multibrand players if you have time for it. They need flagship buyers to stay alive in the eyes of big brands for their own promotion/survival and to do so, they let go of it for extremely thin margins.

I happened to purchase two N20U units costing 90k each from two diff. sellers(when it was 1st released) - that's one example.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Thank you...Will go out and look for such small time dealers tomorrow and establish a comfort zone before end of this month. (y)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Thatz true, the cameras on the flip and fold were bad.

Since we do not have a Note 21 this year, hope flip and fold are equipped with better camera system.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
AFAIK, Samsung smart cafe franchises actually get the highest profit margins for each product they sell compared to other resellers. And it's the marketing skills and subsequent illusions created by the staff that make one feel awkward to ask for a discount.... Nope? The one running the franchise CAN give big discounts, but doesn't want to. They actually ended up giving me discounts a few times in the past🤒 but then I stopped visiting them lately as altogether I don't find it worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
I have shortlisted a few small time detailers, will visit them tomorrow...btw Amazon has already started selling S21plus/ultra cases. They also have a video which shows the phone in its entirety :LOL:

Has anyone's preorder from the Samsung site shipped?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sasha8200:
Local Seller is saying it will be available from Mon /Tue
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sukrith:
Me too... I've been using phones for 2 years each for a long time because at that time the software support was that much only and the advancement was also fast... nowadays the software support is longer and the advancement isn't much of a huge leap forward! I feel phones after 3 years will still have QHD 120Hz with 12 GB RAM and 256GB base storage with a newer processor! That's it... Much won't change in slab phones maybe there will be a huge leap in foldables in 3 years time and Apple Android SoC disparity will also be less or none! And that's the time to buy a new phone! And I actually feel noone should get the 1st gen Exynos with AMD GPU because of optimisation problems and other such issues unless you are a super early adopter...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sukrith:
I was told by my shop I'll get it on 25th! I'll visit them tomorrow and confirm again!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
Now I am feeling jealous of those who are saying they will get it on 25th ! I still need to wait till Thursday! That's almost a week!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
I totally agree to this !
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
Thanks for the link but I want to see the Battery Backup test !
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagarb:
guys what's the best prices you are getting please share

i'm getting for 94k after hdfc 10k deduction for 12month no cost with free 25watt adopter for s21ultra 256gb is it good?(with all prebook benefits)

if i book same in corporate I'm getting for 96k 9month no cost with adld free(with all prebook benefits)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zaydenQ:
So you're getting Active 2 and 10k HDFC cashback too with those two offers (96k and 94k)? If yes then you're getting phone for almost 70k. 😳
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
I think HDFC discount he have already deducted! If not I will travel the India to get that deal !
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagarb:
yup hdfc deducted
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zaydenQ:
Haha same! I will cancel my order and get this deal then. 😂

But it if cashback/discount is not factored in then this is a crazy good deal. I will go check the local shops to see if anyone will give me the same sort of deal.

Edit: So seems like it is with HDFC 10k deducted. Phew!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] twisted_mind:
My order is packed and ready for shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
That's great! Which city you are from and when did you ordered it ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Mumbai. Last Saturday.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
Great, you will have it on 25th I guess! Do post your findings 😍
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Thanks bro. I hope it comes tomm only 😅

You guys use samsung smartswitch? I'm going to use it for the first time ever. Tired of spending an entire day setting up new phones every year.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
Samsung Switch works like a charm. Don't waste your time in other methods. I would suggest if you have lots of media to transfer then copy it to laptop and transfer it to new phone. If you have laptop with Type C port the speed will be amazing. My Nexus 6P had it and the speed was very very fast !
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Wow thanks. I'm not too worried about media. But apps mainly. Once I restore via a PC, will the apps retain logins and customisation (app settings)?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sasha8200:
I am getting S21 Ultra for 1.04. Offers extra
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] arjun2312:
My Samsung Cafe guy confirmed ill get on Monday
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
Settings will be synced. Login you will have to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] arjun2312:
Any idea about samsung cafe credits/rewards points?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
Just received the message from Samsung!!!

Guess what !!!

Packed and ready to ship !!! 😍😍😍
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
That's what i have been waiting for!

😍😍😍
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Did you original estimate also promise 28? Mine shows packaged but the delivery shows as 25th.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
13 more days to go for me :cry:

I gave it a long thought to cancel the 16/512gb order, but looks like its worth the wait.

My only concern is if the 990/- Watch Active 2 offer gets sold out by the time my phone arrives.

I will be forced to opt for the other useless offers which wont fetch me more than 7k or 8k.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagarb:
initially I thought of 512gb but if we sell in next 6 month it doesn't really matters much :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagarb:
this time I went offline all pre-booked are already in stores just waiting for that 25th Monday
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Any update from the store regarding 512GB availability?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
I'm planning to keep the phone for atleast 1 year :LOL:

I know i said the same thing 4 months back with the Note 20 Ultra, this time I will manage to do it, if Samsung discontinues Note series :LOL:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagarb:
yup if we compare previous gen we always think in that way. but next update will be exnoys with amd graphics no notch so obviously we can't resist to get that.😂
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Finally got my 6 year old data from 200+ GB to 120 GB....Going to cancel my 512GB :p

Getting 256GB Phantom black Monday morning :LOL:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] twisted_mind:
My order is shipped. Although now says delivery one day early on 26th. The original promised date was Monday 25th. 😂😂😂
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
That's next level of eagerness! 😂😂😂
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
That's great, we will have to wait for a day or two extra!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagarb:
check out SanDisk 512gb type pendrive it's awesome just 5k I have 2 256gb :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagarb:
. note 20ultra Vs s21 ultra s865 vs2100 so disappointed results :(
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Dpk1:
I have been informed that 256 gb s21 ultra stocks have arrived and is available for sale from monday onwards. But 512 gb version stocks seem to be delayed to somewhere around february 5. Any news on the 512 gb s21 ultra that you can share?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] PG101:
Missing out on all the fun this time.. skipping the S21 with a heavy heart.. had to put the finances some places else.. equally (rather more) exciting :D
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagarb:
I was almost with same situation but some how managing to get one lol crazy addiction to Samsung also that preorder benefits can't say no.only buying to feel the real flagship performance in samsung and 120hz qhd :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] PG101:
I figured I am OK with the Note 20 Ultra for a few more months.. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
So you have cancelled online order and will get it from offline store instead? Have you already booked? What offer you are getting from them ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sukrith:
Guys... Have been thinking... You really feel the AMD GPU will be good? Because the 1st generation will have optimization problems and I think by the time Samsung launches the new Exynos... Most probably Mali will be way better because ARM is now owned by Nvidia and since AMD is entering the smartphone industry, I really feel they'll also decide to jump in. What are your opinions on this?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kannanX10:
512 after feb 5th only........which ever you buy do check 108mp sensor in store as its having pathetic Q C as it seems samsung is using poor lenses as sharpness and image clarity around edges are completely distorted (not an issue with focusing),N20U is having better clarity and sharpness and i do checked 3 S21U units,all are poor------planning to skip this one
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
If this is true it's very disappointing 😡! I need phone only for 2 purpose, Best camera and Battey Backup!

This can pretty much kill my purpose! If this time it's poor as you told, I might skip the Samsung Brand forever!

Share your thoughts folks!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kannanX10:
simple way if u have N20U with you----go to store and compare it side by side in 108mp and 12mp modes with the demo S21U,can easily note the edge issues-----for device priced 106k this is not acceptable

I posted this so that people can check on store itself on buying and if having severe issues as mentioned by me they can claim DOA
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
You already tested it on 3 devices and on all it's poor! If all devices have same issue then what is the purpose of availing DOA ! Anyways they won't provide refund!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kannanX10:
yes i do checked 3 S21U units,i cant post here as how but u can PM me,i do have canon 5D and 7D so i do know something about distortions but what i noticed in S21U units which i saw are not acceptable levels for device priced 106K
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Nothing much, 10k HDFC cashback and double the Samsung smart club points.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
This is disturbing....It was reported in one of the reviews, I dont remember which one exactly. :cry:

The ultra wide sure has issues around the edges which is evident in all the reviews.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kannanX10:
better,i do prebooked but after seeing the camera issues i'm skipping it

all ultrawides will have barrell distortion thats normal but the severe distortions in normal wide angle lenses for premium product is not acceptable-----on a lighter note even Huawei is using leica lenses whereas as samsung is using some crappy lenses in the so called EPIC product
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Yeah the fish eye effect on the ultrawide shots look a little enhanced on the S21 compared to the 20s.

But can you give me a reference point in this image, what to look at? I'm revisiting all the reviews on Youtube.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
My device will mostly get delivered tomorrow, now it's a hard choice to make ! I need the phone as I am using OP Nord temporarily. If I cancel it I will have to wait till March for OP 9 PRO. I am not sure what new issue will be there in OP 9 PRO as 8 PRO have black crush and some weird tint issues!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
I had so much trust in Samsung that I have skipped camera reviews, now I will also have to go through all of it! Please share your findings too buddy.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zaydenQ:
Chill, guys. I have watched 25-30 reviews and camera comparisons so far. The only problem that 1-2 reviewers mentioned was with the video quality still being a bit behind iPhone 12 Pro max whilst others mentioned it was equal or better. Some nitpicked about the night mode in indoor conditions. But nobody mentioned about this distortion issue as being a big dampener. I am sure if it mattered as much someone would have picked up on it (especially reviewers considering it is their job to nitpick).

Unless we get really unlucky with our units and QC, we should be safe.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
Thanks for sharing
