Ha! Yeah, you're probably right!

I'll take a stab at question 3 though... If you were to have the GPS coordinates of a stolen phone, the police would probably be interested. It would probably be in the company of other stolen merchandise. Possibly breaking up a theft ring could be good justification for them to send an officer out.
[Samsung Galaxy A21s Questions & Answers] mashed:
Hi All,

I've got an A21S for my Daughter and she's unable to properly use the SD Card for app storage are there any ROMs which allow moving apps to the SDCard.

Tia
[Samsung Galaxy A21s Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Why is she doing that?

What's taking up all the internal storage space?

She should store data, music, movies, images, etc on the SD card not in the internal memory.
[Samsung Galaxy A21s Questions & Answers] mashed:
The SD Card won't format as internal storage it only formats as external so we can't move the apps to it. The only thing you can store in the SDCard is photos which makes it kind of pointless.

I read the Samsung forum and it's a known issue. I just wondered if there's a ROM that will do away with this limitation they've suggested putting it into Dev mode and allowing adoptable storage but I'd rather just install a ROM that doesn't have this silly limitation.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A21s Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It's far from pointless.

Just like on a PC you use the faster bus/memory of the internal memory for the apps as they benefit most from it.

The SD card is best suited for use as a data drive, not the primary drive as it's memory/bus speeds are substantially slower.

Music, pics, vids, documents, backups and downloads should be kept here.

The size of the internal memory defines how many apps you can or can't load.

You need at least 1gb headroom preferably 2gb or more.

My internal memory holds about 20gb including the Download folder. I have a fair amount of apps loaded including 4 browsers, 3 of which are heavily used.

My SD card holds 335gb of data.

Unfortunately she has outgrown that phone. Consider using less or lighter apps to regain the headroom you need.

These are lessons I learned the hard way about settings up a platform long ago in my XPx64 days. For a phone my minimum now is 128gb internal (preferabley more) and an SD card is mandatory.

Hi,

My bluetooth headphone problem.

I am using boat rockerz 235 v2.

It runs fine and loud with all audio except during calls.

i did search a lot of places, no luck.

media volumes are good, video playback, mp3 players, online music apps, you tube, whatsapp calls all are ok, get loud output at max volume,

when i receive or make call through service provider ( normal incoming and out going) volume suddenly is almost 50% reduced even all sliders in my phone are @ maximum and bluetooth device volume is also maximum.

i tried to change some settings. in developer options like disabling absolute volume but no luck.

hope will get some help. XDA is my last place :D. If i cant get it done here, there is no place left..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] phillthedrill:
Hey all....I'm calling on the experts! I have a friend of mine's s8+ Sm-955U from Verizon. She woke up one morning and it was boot looping. I've tried using ODIN, reflashing the original rom, wiped cache, did a factory reset, and even used the pit file and repartition in ODIN to try to restore it. All it does is get stuck at the s8+ logo screen, goes black and you can feel a tiny vibration when it goes to black. It usually just sits there, sometimes it will just reboot over and over. I've done everything I know. Is it possible that the NAND would be bad? Or what wears out if it's hardware related? It boots just fine in recovery mode or download mode and ODIN always shows success when flashing. Anyone know of anything else to do?

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] scootley:
Anybody out there who rooted their Pixel 5 with Magisk ever receive an OTA update notification?

I rooted mine during initial setup after I got it and never received a notification for the December 2020 or Jan 2021 update. Checking for an update says there isn't one available.

(The November 2020 update was out when I got the phone and I installed it before rooting)

I also have the Developer setting for "Automatic system updates" turned off and didn't enable MagiskHide or hiding Magisk Manager until a few days ago. But have since unrooted with no luck either.

My "Google Play system update" says "September 1, 2020" and has a red icon and I assume is also out of date.

I asked about this before here but in a different way. Not trying to spam.

See this thread and use it for discussion of more details, causes and solutions.

But you can reply here if you ever received an OTA update notification, or if you are like me and haven't.

The main reason I am asking about this is purely a curiosity on the cause and interest in whether there are other issues that result from the same underlying cause, whatever it is.

Also incremental OTA updates are faster to download/install, can be done without a PC, and nobody consistently publishes their URLs anymore (lots of permutations) so the only practical way to find yours is via the normal process. The OTA images google publishes online are not incremental. They are full. Just like the system images.

Note:

1) I would not intend to try to install the OTA while rooted

2) I know I can download the install the OTA image myself. My main concern is the OTA update check/notification here.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] luckysoul777:
I get OTA updates regularly. However, I can't find where the downloads reside. Since these are large files, if I don't delete them, they will grow big time, unless of course, the updater deletes them automatically after installation. My googling tells me they should be under /data/lineageos_updates, but I simply don't see this directory on my phone.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
Your Googling is flawed. Are you running LineageOS?

Android OTAs are stored in a temp directory. They aren't going to fill up your storage.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] luckysoul777:
Yes, I'm running LOS. I am also glad to know the OTA downloads don't go under /data/lineageos_updates, though it's mentioned all over the Internet. In fact, I haven't come across anyone else mentioned that the downloads go under a temp directory. If this is indeed the case, great. I am just surprised why no one else has mentioned if you google with keywords, "LineageOS OTA download directory"
[AT&T LG V10] John Craig:
Driving me nuts - should be so simple.

I have a 2nd hand AT&T LG v20 (H910)

The guy I bought it for claims it works on EE

But I cant get it to work with an O2 Postpay sim. (The O2 sim works perfectly in another phone)

Ive been into Settings->mobile networks->View networks and O2 is listed

I can select O2.

O2 is then shown at the top of the screen and there are 3 bars of signal strength

But I cant make or receive a call. If I try to call It eventually times out with the message 'Network Unavailable'

Digging around some more I find

- the networks it can detect include O2 RAT 4G (along with Vodafone, EE, 3 and can be 4G and/or 3G and/or 2G). O2 RAT 4G is the only O2 network detected and the phone says it is registered on this network

- A different (but similar) phone on which the SIM card works (LG V20 H990DS) detects primarily 3G networks (Vodafone, EE, 3, either 3G, 2G or both) including O2 RAT 3G and the phone says it is registered on this network

So maybe I have to change the networks to which the phone can connect . . . . but how do I do that?

Any suggestions as to how I get this phone to work on O2 postpay

So I recently rooted my bv5900, and when I tried playing a video on the YouTube app, my phone would reboot itself. When I try playing any type of video on chrome it would just show a green screen but with audio from the video. I noticed if I was trying to look at a gif, it would kinda work if I scrolled away from it then went back, but it would go back to a green screen. My phone also reboots when I try opening Mini Metro and Geometry Dash. I used Magisk to root my phone btw. Anyone know how I can fix this?

[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] ScratMan38:
Metal = shielding. This will reduce the matching impedance of antenna, making the signal amplitude drop. And as the phone will try to compensate by increasing the transmitting power sent to the antenna, it will drain the battery.

You would need the antenna to be out of the casing.

[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] blkTv:
Could someone, preferably with a Zenfone 7 at hand, please confirm which USB version these devices have? Rumors on the Internets are conflicted (links below).

Is it 480Mbps (High Speed aka USB 2.0) or 5Gbps (SuperSpeed aka USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 3.2 Gen 1x1)? Even if we cannot have DisplayPort, 5Gbps could allow us a DisplayLink-based solution. Many thanks in advance!

The official techspecs omit USB version all together:

Asus Zenfone 7 - Tech Specs

Asus Zenfone 7 Pro - Tech Specs

GSM Arena is no better, mentioning only the interface ("USB-C").

PhoneDB states that both versions have USB 3.1 with support for USB HS (480 Mbps) and USB SS (5 Gbps).

[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] round2:
It does have USB 3 with a USB C connector however I have NOt noticed a speed different in transferring data from phone to PC. I could not find any data on this either so I did a speed test with files. There is no way to do a test which will literally show transfer speed due to the way the phones are made. You have to just test using a file and a timer.. You will never literally see the speed indicated liek you normally see when transfering data from phone to PC..
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Tagion:
I transfered a 8,8GB zip file onto my internal storage and it took a little over 5minutes. I guess it's 2.0.

Transferring the file with the inbuilt network transfer tool from the file manager (over 5Ghz wifi) took just 2minutes
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] blkTv:
Thanks round2 and Tagion.

Any chance you'd be willing to run USB Tree View (~330KB, no installation)?

The steps are simple:

1) Run the app.

2) Plug the phone into a USB 3.x-port. Whichever port turns green (see attachment) will be the phone.

3) Copy and paste all right-hand text to https://pastebin.com and share the link here (or PM it to me and I'll clean it from unique device data before sharing it).

View attachment 5189055

So far so good, some of the settings are re-arranged and look different, new animations and vibration patterns, Security Patch got updated, as well as the Kernel version (didnt check previous Baseband but im assuming that got also updated). Lets see how battery life is!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Deanro:
Hows the battery life on it so far?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
pretty sweet, averaging 17h15m SOT as per AccuBattery :) can highly recommend using DuckDuckGo browser and Hibernator Pro to save on data and energy consumption!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Deanro:
Hi jbmc,

No offense but I cannot believe you get 17 hours SOT. Not calling you a liar. Probably accubattery is not reading your phone correctly.

I have the L29 from singapore - although I live in USA with both singapore and USA sim cards. Do you know when my phone will get the 11 update?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
haha i get it, I also had to check my actual usage and the screen active time shown in the settings under battery, it actually pans out! after roughly 8.5 hours SOT i was at around 50% battery left.

as for the EMUI 11 rollout, really no idea my friend. it seems the timings of the regional specific rollouts are all over the place. only thing i can say is that it will surely come :) in general tho, chinese models usually get served first before the international counterparts-
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Deanro:
Exactly. No one gets past 10 -12 hours SOT on the 20x. Cheers

read again, it checks out ;)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Deanro:
The hell are you talking about
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
dunno what to tell u man *lol*

but im serious, ive always been one to optimize the heck out of the system to maximize SOT :)

i.e. settings permissions for ALL apps depending on how i use them, restricting background data as much as possible, using wifi wherever available, tuning in min usable screen brightness, setting battery optimization for all apps, switching off all sensors whenever i dont actively use them (i.e. NFC, BT, GPS, etc.), using apps like Hibernator Pro or Greenify to hibernate all unused apps, using privacy focused browser like DuckDuckGo to save on unnecessary data, using 3G instead of 4G/LTE to minimize energy consumption....

every little bit helps and then u end up with awesome SOT ;)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Deanro:
Ok youre confusing because before you agreed with me that it was not possible to get sot of 17 hours on android 11. Now youre saying it is possible but only by turning off unneeded background data, wifi, apps etc., not through android 11 alone. You also didnt confirm that you had android 11 installed.

Even if you took all of the steps you mentioned you cannot go from 8 - 9 SOT and double it to 17. Thats impossible.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
ah no, u misunderstood mate, i was agreeing with you that it initially seemed too good to be true, but after checking SOT via different sources i was able to confirm those runtimes :)

I have EMUI 11 / Android 10 installed, Android 11 is not available on the Mate 20 series.

I was never down to 8-9 hours SOT to begin with...unless maybe at max screen brightness and using Maps with High perf. GPS on 4G mobile data all day long haha.

Before on EMUI 10.1 with Greenify and CM Browser I was at around 12-14h SOT, now im more in the range of 16-18h on EMUI 11 with Hibernator Pro and DuckDuckGo Browser.

Hope that clears things up! :)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Deanro:
Hi there,

I have android 10/emui 10.1 on my mate 20x. But you say you have emui 11 but that android 11 isnt available for the mate series. I think you made a typo.

You said you had greenify on 10.1. But how can that be if you cant root the 20x on that version?

With hibernator pro what apps and system services did you freeze? I will do the same with mine.

Its just not possible to get double the SOT on the 20x when max SOT is 10 hours. Hope youre not trolling. Something isnt right here.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
Not a typo. EMUI is NOT equal to Android. EMUI 11 for the Mate 20 series is based on Android 10, NOT 11. :)

You can use Greenify in non-root mode, no problem.

I can provide a list of apps and services on freeze for Hibernator Pro, just give me a bit of time.

Not trolling. Who says max SOT is 10 hours? my current values are in the range of 14-18 hours depending on usage and averaging roughly 15-16.

Edit: I attached a screenshot of Battery usage for the past 7 days as shown in Accubattery. At 5.4%/h for screen on, you would get a total of 100/5.4 = 18.5h of SOT. But of course, that is only if you use a whole battery charge with screen on. So you need to add in the energy consumption during screen off: 300% screen on + 45% screen off = 345 % total.

55h55m total SOT divided by 345% = 16.2h SOT per 100% charge on average.

Btw, when I compare the SOT times measured in Accubattery with the values shown under settings / Battery, they check out, both show the same values (at worst only a few minutes apart).

Also attached preference files for Hibernator Pro, hope this helps!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Deanro:
Hi there,

I dont know if you have emui 11 so I cant confirm if you do or not. If you do indeed have emui 11 theres no way in hell huawei figured out how to double SOT on it since they werent able to before in 10.

Average SOT on 20x is 9 - 11 hours. Not double that. I've been reading this forum on the 20x for a year. I've never come across anyone claiming SOT greater than 12 hours. Never.

Is it possible to install your prefs into my Hibernator Pro?

If Hibernator Pro does that same job as greenify why use greenify at all? Which apps did you freeze in greenify?
