[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
I have setup multiple users on my device (even though I am the only one using my device) and things are not working perfectly, or the way I want it to.

The issue is primarily with side-loading apps on secondary users.

Even though the multi-user environment appears to be completely isolated, that is not completely true. An app can be installed on the device only once. When installing the same app for different users, app installation happens only the 1st time. What happens during subsequent installations is simply creation of a separate data folder for each user. That is why one can't install different versions of the same app for different users. Installation would always fail if such a thing is attempted, unless the newer installation is an update to the app version already installed on the device (in which case all users with the app installed will see the same updated version).

When side-loading, some apps just fail to install in secondary users. Does anyone have an idea as to what could be possibly wrong? These are free apps (often downloaded from Google Play Store), so there is no license verification issues. This can happen irrespective of whether the particular app is already installed for another user or not.

Is this a bug with the whole multi-user feature or is there something that needs to be done to get this working?

I have tried this on three different devices (rooted as well as non-rooted), running on Android 8, 9 and 11. They all seem to have similar problems. Some apps install, and some don't. Is this an Android problem or an app-related one?

Please note that apps that fail to install in secondary users, install and run perfectly fine on the main/ primary user. So this isn't an Android version compatibility issue, but one related to the multi-user feature of Android.

Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Thanks for the link. I was almost tempted to believe that the problem could be with the apps not supporting multi-users. So I did this to test:

I created 2 secondary user accounts.

On one, I signed in with my Google account and installed some apps from the Play Store. I copied their APKs.

On the other user, I did NOT sign in with any Google account. So I can't access Play Store. I tried sideloading these APKs. Some got installed, and some didn't.

Are these apps (that failed to install) somehow dependent on Google Play Store for installation? The fact that they installed on the user who signed in with a Google account means that they support multi-users. So we can rule that out.

I tried MiXplorer and it successfully installed on both users.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
I think I have figured out the problem.

Apps that refused to install were actually Split APKs, and I was trying to install the base apk file extracted using a file manager.

Backing up the App Bundles for such apps using SAI and installing them worked perfectly. :)

Hi guys,

i tried to root my OP5 (OxygenOS 9.0.10) but i couldn't even start.

My Pc and 3 other Laptops won't recognize the Device - while my OP7 connects just fine.

I have tried the USB debugging, the preference set to File Trasfer (MTP) and other dings in DEv Ops.

When i connect it it only loads without any symbol/popup about the usb mode.

hi there,

I have my diamond for almost a week now. On the first day everything worked fine. The gps got a fix, took it a while but it worked. On the second day of playing with it i decided i wanted to try a cooked rom.

I installed hardSPL (oliNex 1.40) and then tried dyttys 1.8 rom. All worked fine except for the GPS. It wasn't even finding it (the nav soft nor the gps test tool).

So i upraded the radio to 08 (in duttys rom it's 07). Same thing.

Next thing was installing panosha's shine on 1.5 rom (including radio 08).

Then i actually managed to see the gps, but it couldn't get a fix. So i tried radio 05. The gps was found but no fix... after hard reset once i got a fix, which took really long time, like 5-10 minutes. After next reboot nothing... Even the gps was not seen by the apps.

Now I'm on panosha's shine on 1.6 (still radio 05). Now the apps can see the gps, but it won't fix.

What to do? Try another hardspl? try another rom? try another radio? maybe try some tweaks?

Or maybe the gps is broken? But it worked!

Help me out please guys.

regards,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] skrap3:
It think it has nothing to do with the hardSPL but u could try olinex 1.93

For roms, try swiftBLs or maybe christonges ct.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pietrucci:
Well well well, there seems to be some problem...

I have exactly the same: no GPS fix but still seeing the sats, then no sats anymore.

I installed Dutty's 1.8 too yesterday and after that CT's.

Now back to a stock ROM including Stock SPL, but no GPS anymore...

I'm afraid I have to send my device for repair.

What do we have in common? We both flashed Dutty's 1.8, we both changed radio's (I went from .08 to .05).

Are there more victims out there???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dragilla:
look here... i will try this now :)

Don't know how about you... but it worked for me. ..at least for now. I got a fix.

Try it - soft reset your gps!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] adwinp:
After every ROM flash, you need to cold boot your GPS.

This is why the first time you have to wait 5-10 minutes to get a fix.

You can always use HTC GPS Tool or any similar app to cold boot.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dragilla:
ok, it helped only for a while. I then installed skype, google maps, maybe something else, synced with outlook and now gps cannot be found. Even by htc_gps_tool. It now says "failed to send NMEA command".

GPS Test scans ports and stops at com4 (this is the gps port)... and nothing happens. Hard reset of the device does not help.

Any ideas? Just 1h ago gps seemed to work :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] adwinp:
Do you have AGPS enabled? If so, disable it.

I WOULD recommend to start everything from the beginning:

1: flash a radio (.08)

2: flash a vanilla ROM (DON'T install anything else apart from HTC GPS tool)

3: Try getting a fix with this setup. We'll then know if it's a hardware problem or just your fiddling.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dragilla:
So don't touch the hardspl? If it works it works and i shouldn't change it?

What do you mean by "a vanilla rom". Any rom with vanilla=tflo3d? If so, what if this rom has radio in it (dytty's 1.8 has radio 07).

ps: how to change agps setting? I used pocket toolman now... had to install it... and guess what: agps was off. I turned in on rebooted and turned it off again. Didn't help.

Thanx for the interest in my problem :) Awaiting further instructions.

regards,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] skrap3:
I have tested a bit this night. Flashed duttys 1.8, tried and it works, installed loads of apps and tried again and there it is, no gps fix.

I did a hard reset and flashed the .05 radio and then swiftBLs 6.0 lite rom. Nothing, no gps fix. Did another hard reset and flashed an official rom, and it works normal. Another hard reset and back to swiftBLs rom and got no problems.

atm i´m so lol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pietrucci:
Just did the same you did (flash to an official ROM, including stock SPL, so everything back to the original state. Still no more GPS fix. GPSTest gives a few low signals but not enought for fix. Tried it outside for half an hour.

My device goed back for repair.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dragilla:
I'm sure soft reset of gps would help.

I just did new radio flash + new rom flash + soft reset of gps and it worked.

The I was installing my packages + configuring my device doing reboot after each small change to see if gps still works. It stopped working after installing win6voip.cab

Will try again to verify that :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Incognitoz:
I had the same prob. And even when i had a fix it loses the fix and then it fixed agian so on and so on. Had it with igo8 and tom tom 7 and a smal program to see gps reception.

I switched back to radio .05 and used rom sc (skippycentraal) v2.8 (dutch language, is perfect for me cause i'm from holland )

I't works perfect, in about 20 to 30 sec outside getting a fix.

sometimes i'll even get a fix indoors :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] skrap3:
I think its a problem with the roms with the new radios, but the reason for the gps problems itself is affected by some applications.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] christonge:
Ummm a bit worrying..... I must admit after frying my Hermes with a new radio and then my Polaris after flashing a compatable radio from another device I´m a little vary now. I´ve stuck with .05 for a while now and I´ve been flashing between 5-10 times a day for the last few weeks and TomTom has been fixing everytime no issues whatsoever.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pietrucci:
how do you softreset GPS???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dragilla:
Use htc gps tool. Use function->chip->Q7200, set baud rate and port and click "open port". Next use function->set mode->cold start and get outside for 10 minutes with the device configured not to shut down/go to sleep (power settings). It should get a fix.

Back to my case: I flashed again and did the gps cold start. Then installed all the stuff I wanted + configured everything checking if gps is still getting a fix after each install/reboot. It still does. Ofcourse this time I did not install win6voip.cab. So I guess this package was the one "spoiling" my gps.

Will try to tweak my voip in win manually tomorrow. Hope it works because I have a SIP account I would like to use on my diamond.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pietrucci:
Also did that, no fix... GPS definitely is broken, back to repair.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] morphinspectrum:
GPS no signal

God damn it...

everyone keeps flashing ROMs etc and I thought it was safe, I have exactly the same problem as pietrucci

and now I read that flashing everything back to stock doesn't fix the GPS ...

that REALLY PISSES ME OFF

there seems to be no information on how to properly "restart" the GPS so to make it work.

also from a technical point of view, how can you possibly "break" the GPS by installing hardSPL and another ROM, without even touching the Radio?

this problem better get a fix somehow and lets hope we (me, pietrucci and evilskanker) are able to fix it, or I will stop flashing untested **** altogether. it's fun as long as it works, but if someone reports a problem that is suddenly an exception, then things start to get quite a bit less safe as you see!

just my 2 cents.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sepa:
Hi.

I don't know how Qualcomm GPS works, but users of Eten X650 are having same problem. (My previos phone was X650, SirfStarIII) After some reflashing GPS is broken. We make it working by dispacing battery from phone for 36 hr. So all GPS settings were reset. Someone ever short-circuit contacts of battery on the phone for this time. Try this if everything didn't help before going to service.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pietrucci:
Ok, I'm wiling to try everything. I'll leave the battery out for some days.

What do you mean by short-circuit the battery contacts, just hold a piece of iron on the phone contacts? Or do something with the battery itself? Doesn't that damage the device or battery?

By the way: I'm can't tell for sure my broken GPS was caused by flashing. But it was right after my last flash (Dutty v1.8) that is was dead. Everything I did after that (flashing to other ROMS, to stock ROMS, hardresets, GPS resets) was to try to get life in my GPS. But as you know now, without any effect.

All in all I believe it has to do with flashing but not 100% sure...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bejoyalex:
Hello All,

So long story short my 2018 model Pixel 2Xl suddenly stopped detecting my headphones nor it installed android driver when connected to PC. Ofcourse only good thing is it charges fine. Now since my phone warranty has expired I would like to try anything that could fix it. I already tried factory reset however of no help. So my question here is, is there any way I could install the driver binaries on my Pixel that could reset it? Now since my phone is not getting detected on PC except charging what option am I left with? Any way firmware change or reinstalling of drivers can be done through wifi or from within my internal storage? My mobile has stock firmware and it is not rooted as well. Any help is highly appreciated.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xconwayx:
I had the exact same issue. Unable to plug into my PC and headphones not working. I used multiple laptops/desktops. All came back with the same Device Manager error stating that it was an "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). No matter what I would do it would continue to pop up on every single PC I plugged into. Tried different USB C cables as well. I was told a part of the board was fried.

I finally gave up and got a Pixel 4a 5g. I should mention I put in a new hard drive for my main PC and installed Windows. I plugged my Pixel 2 XL into my fresh install of Windows 10 and BOOM it started working again. I was able to unlock the bootloader and install a ROM as well. I just checked USB C headphone and they are working as well. I am not sure after testing so many variables why this was the resolution, but I am glad I found it.

I will note, in looking for the Device Manager error message I did find this.

Open your device manager. Click ‘View’ and then click ‘Show hidden devices’. Your Pixel 2 XL (or whatever phone you have) should be shown there and will be ‘greyed out’. Make sure your phone is unplugged, and then right mouse click on your Pixel 2 XL on your device manager and click ‘Uninstall device’.

Worth trying at the very least.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bejoyalex:
Great to know it worked for you. However for me I tried in my Windows PC as well as on my MAC and it doesn't work on both. Unfortunately my warranty as expired too so I have dropped an escalation to Google and awaiting response from their end. My Pixel 2 XL has never worked properly for more than 9 months from the date of purchase with USB C port already replaced once, screen replaced due to burn in, headphones replaced as it stopped worked etc. I have also heard many people informing about the port starting to work fine all of a sudden too. If Google provides free support well and good, if not will move to OnePlus maybe. Had enough of Pixel phones. I had the first version of Pixel XL and then bought this.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Khizar Amin:
Use a sim ejector tool to pry out the dust and gunk from the type c port. Had issues with charging and usb connection, you may not be able to see it but there would be a lot of lint and dirt collected inside the port. cleaning it up fixes the issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bejoyalex:
Tried that too. There wasn't any dust as such but used a small paint brush to wipe inside throughly however didn't help. Any way to install the driver binaries via wifi or from within the phone rather than using a PC?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] phineous:
See my recent posts about my USB problems and replacing the internal USB ass'y. It didn't fix my similar problem though.

Cleaning the port is worth a shot. The SIM tool, a needle or plastic toothpick work great for this. I used a little alcohol too and the pad came out pretty dirty.

You can enable WiFi debugging/Wireless ADB in Developer Mode settings. You can then run commands in ADB. It won't let you unlock the bootloader with only WiFi though. That's what has me stuck.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] crpcnt.cpc:

Bought my daughter the handset over a year ago from Ali Express I believe. But the update bricked it and now sitting with a broken handset. Anyone know what to do with it? I'm guessing the warranty is gone, and the UK Xiaomi group won't help because it wasn't bought from them. Cheers.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] flipside123:
I have been searching all over for this but it's probaly right in front of my face. I read that you need to get rid of SPL.nbh from official ROMS before flashing back with HardSPL. The problem is, the official T-Mobile Wing ROM that I downloaded is an .exe file. How do I go about removing the SPL.nbh file since it doesn't display folder contents or anything, just runs the RUU?

Sorry for the double post, I realized I was in the wrong forum
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ttran001:
I'm uploading a zip file which will have the entire thing already to go.

Just flash your device as you would with any other rom.

Hang tight the link will be available within 10 mins.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] flipside123:
Thank you sir. Greatly appreciated
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ttran001:
Done:

Remove HARD-SPL On The Wing

This is the same tool used to flash your device when it was not HARD-SPL.

I replaced the RUU_Signed file and SPL.nh file already.

It will bring your wing back to the stanard rom as when you first got it.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] flipside123:
One more question. I'm looking to keep HardSPL but I have to revert to original to upgrade ROMS don't I? I want to upgrade to your OT 6.5 ROM:)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ttran001:
Okay,

I thought you wanted to go back to the original T-Mobile rom.

If your trying to HARD-SPL your device to install one of my roms or another cooks roms then thats another story.

Please read my FAQ or one of the stickies.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] flipside123:
Ok, I think I got it now. So I don't need to revert to the original ROM to flash it since I have HardSPL? Thanks for the help
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] angest90:
wen i did this i think i bricked my fone now its at the tmobile screen and it jus staying there
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] trav2001:
I tried the file that you uploaded here...And it went thru the whole process of flashing the ROM, but after it updated my wing just stays on the T-Mobiel screen and never boots past that.

It had that open touch software on it and I don't want open touch. I want plan old WM 6.0 on there.

I called T-Mobile and got an offical 6.0 update from them, but when I try that one it gets to 1% then says it has a disconneted and I get a connection error.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] apathetic:
So does this work? The two people who did this had problems. I need the phone to be all stock so I can have t-mobile send a free replacement because the screen is going on this wing.

***EDIT:*** Oka so this is the same as http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=364543&page=2 the first time I tried it it froze at 15% on step 2 so I installed the RAPI CAB like it says. Step two completed, phone rebooted and had white screen then I got error 260 I think. I have the stock t-mobile rom on it and had it on before I did this but it still has the yang from when I did a hard spl. Is there another way to get it to stock or am I doing something wrong? Plug in phone, let it sync, run herald-uspl.exe hit enter and so forth.

***EDIT*** Ok so this time it completed but is now stuck at the T-Mobile screen and I am now unable to even flash because I can't get past it :( And that damn yang still shows up in bootloader. Well went into bootloader and flashed from there so phone works but the damn yang is still there. And on a side note: Has anyone ever had a problem with their screen going very dark after flashing a rom from here? Phone was fine then I flashed OTP v7.4 TouchFlo 2D Lite.nbh yesterday and at night screen started going dark, would light up when opened in keyboard mode, then switched and then both were very dark and hard to see. I then flashed to OTP v7.3.1 TouchFlo 2D Final.nbh and still dark. Then I flashed to stock rom and have been able to see the screen since.

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] moon47usaco:
Alternatively you can use the combination of uspl and stock rom ruu to return your device to stock tmobile rom...

1. Enter in to uspl like you were falshing one of ttran001 roms... You can get this HERALD-USPL-beta3 from http://rapidshare.com/files/79249048/Flash_Center.rar

2. ONLY use steps 1 and 2 from the black screen (getting the white screen on your device)...

3. For step 3 in the flasher exit out of the black screen (windows cmd screen) by pressing ctrl+C...

4. Fire up the official ruu from tmobile found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=358030 or alternatively if you have a tmobile account still active you can get the most up to date rom from http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/

5. Fallow on screen instructions...

6. Back to stock rom...
