Power management can cause erratic device behavior, I never use it.

Activate Developer options. Also you can see ram usage in Samsung Device Care.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] SirDigitalKnight:
Interesting, I do have power management on, I will keep that in mind if it starts acting up again.

I now have developer options on and I checked Device care:

[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] blackhawk:
Try disabling it and see what happens.

You need to weed out misbehaving apps one by one on a case by case basis.

3rd party apps that demand to run at startup deserve special attention.

Some apps like Brave browser continue to run in the background even after you close them. I finally ended up firewall blocking it when not in use to stop this behavior... nothing else worked.

Firewall blocking apps that don't need internet access also helps to move things along.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] SirDigitalKnight:
I do not have Brave browser on my A52? Was it a pre-installed app on yours that you can't uninstall?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] blackhawk:
Just an example. I keep it because of it's ad blocking ability plus no malware has ever breached it.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] SirDigitalKnight:
ok. Well it looks like power saving mode was already off. it must have reset to off when I did the factory reset. Under more battery settings there is a Adaptive battery setting which is on? Would this effect it?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] blackhawk:
Adaptive battery, kill it. That could induce this kind of behavior. Android manages its self well without it. Simply close out apps when done with them. This works well with most apps except for poorly coded ones like Brave🤣

Go to running apps in Developer options to view some of what's eating up the house.

Sometimes cache apps like Brave are still running in the background even though it's not shown as a current running service. Killing it off the cache list will however shut it down.

I found it's easier to just close Brave then firewall block it until needed again🥴

Hey, it could be worse... it could be an iphone🤣
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] SirDigitalKnight:
Thanks for you help! I just killed Adaptive battery. I found "Running services" , Im guessing it is what you mention? I do see a lot there: KLMS Agent, Video call effects, Samsung Pass, SmartThings, Bixby Voice, etc..... Samsung Keyboard and One Ui Home seem to be using the most memory.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] blackhawk:
Yay👍View attachment 5345209

Yeah a lot junk. I use Package Disabler and Karma Firewall as well as settings to knock it down.

Package Disabler

The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.

www.packagedisabler.com

Typically those apps use a lot of ram but not much battery or CPU cycles.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] SirDigitalKnight:
Holy cow thats a lot, I have very few running compared to yours! :eek:

Adaptive battery seems to have been slowing the phone down as everything now is much more snappy. (y)
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] blackhawk:
Lol, that's not all of them🤣

Isn't it amazing how much better it runs with power management out of the way?

Power management was a mess 2 years ago... some things don't change🤣
[Xiaomi Redmi 8A Questions & Answers] subbucat:
Hello All,

I have a weird situation. I found a phone somewhere which is Redmi 8A. It doesnt have any sim card nor memory card.

I tried to resent the phone and booted into recovery. but couldnt do it as there is no option to erase/reset the phone. Also tried to flash it with the Mi lashing tool it returned the error "cant erase phone is locked". Did tried to bruteforce the login screen but "usb debugging/developer mode is not enabled"

i would be really grateful if you can suggest a solution. I can give this to my community watchmen who doesnt have a phone.

the major three issues are

1. Recovery doesnt have reset option

2. USB debugging/developer mode not enabled

3. Screen is locked with 4 digit pin.

Thank you all in advance.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8A Questions & Answers] Godhelpmetofindananswer:
This is a bit tricky but you could just open up the phone take out the drive and modify it directly by adapting it

That's the best you could do I guess

Because for anything more you will have to get into the phone

Good luck
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] usman_hussain1987:
Hi so this is probably my first post in this forum.

I have a HTC Artemis. Good PDA. i put a custom cooked rom on a while back. i cant remember when but it was when i first got the thing.

But yeh so after a long period of time i though why not change the theme, and put a new rom on. see whats changed.

I downloaded a rom, plugged up the phone to realise i dont have Active Sync on the PC. so popped over to microsoft and i downloaded the latest version. This is where the problem begins.

I followed all the instruction to the letter and installed Active Sync but now for some odd reason the PDA will no sync with the PC.

I get this pop-up (in the screen dump below) then i follow what the website says and i still get no sync.

Any one HELP please!!!

[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] d33cktr4zy:
Hi everyone,

I just bought Redmi 9T Indonesia version the 6GB version a few weeks ago. It is running on MIUI V12.0.5.0.qjqidxm. I just realizes this problem when I was going to record my first video to a social media platform using this device. Its struck me like hell when i review the recording i just made. My voice is barely recorded. The phone was no more than half a meter from me when i recorded it.

So I go and google it, tried the disabling "Hey Google" from assistant setting. but, I couldn wipe cache since i can't get in the wipe cache partition menu the default recovery option only allowed me to wipe all.

Anyone have any idea how to fix the issue? I'm feeling i bought a defected phone here.
[Android Auto General] JOSHSKORN:
I have 1,000 CDs that I've ripped to my PC as WAV. They are basically all of the rock genre (Classic, hard rock, heavy metal, nu metal, 90s grunge, etc.), and because of that, I prefer lossless. I've tagged all of them to the Discogs database, using Foobar2000.

I use this same collection on my PC and also copied to the MicroSD of my Note 9, which I connect to my Kenwood DMX907S head unit through Wireless Android Auto.

The objective is to create several playlists based on tags. Also, I want to be able to normalize the sound, so that regardless of the quality of the recording, all tracks are equally as loud at their highest points within the tracks. For playing on PC, this can be easily done, using Foobar2000. From what I understand, there is an Android App for Foobar2000, but it was not nearly as developed as the PC version and therefore cannot create playlists based on the type of tags I'm looking to utilize.

Tags include:

Genre

Artist

Album

Date Added to Library

Possibly other custom tags (for instance, Live or Studio / Original or Cover)

Are there any Android Auto compatible music apps out there that can create these types of playlists using local files, such that they're compatible with Android Auto? ...AND can manage the sound levels as needed?
[Android Auto General] Note10.1Dude:
I use Bubble upnp as I also use it to cast. Give it a look to see if it does everything you are interested in.
[Android Auto General] JOSHSKORN:
I added that app and am currently trying it. I'm noticing that all artists are listed as <Unknown>. Is this because when tagging, I used the %artist% tag instead of %album artist% ? Is there a way to adjust this in the app?
[Android Auto General] Note10.1Dude:
I had some rips that didn't read correctly and ended up using MP3TAG on my PC to fix their metadata. I rip all my CDs to FLAC with EAC, and generally it just works, so I can't be of much help.
[Android Auto General] krilok:
Although BubbleUPNP is an excellent DLNA media player, it doesn't support Android Auto and there are no plans to include it anytime soon (I requested the dev for this feature to be added and was told it was basically impossible unless the whole app was rewritten from scratch. That was a couple of years ago now, and unfortunately nothing's changed since).

For local music playback, I'm using 'Oto Music' from the Play Store. It's a very well designed music player with Replay Gain and full AA support, although I'm not too sure if regarding your playlists it could be what you're looking for... In any event, it's a free app and constantly gets upgrades and new features. ;)
[Android Auto General] Note10.1Dude:
Now you got me wondering. I use BubbleUPNP in the car all the time, but possibly only from my tablet via bluetooth. I thought it also worked from my phone via AA... I'll have to re-check that.

[LG V50 ThinQ Questions & Answers] LykanthricAura:
I bought my gf a V50 Sprint Unlocked that she has been using on MetroPCS (Metro by T-mobile)It used to work fine until now but she recently moved to Evanston (near Chicago) and now she keeps losing network.

If she turns off 5G and keeps on LTE there is just no network. (but if it loses 5G automatically and switches to LTE, it works fine)

I remember this code that the seller gave me which is supposed to unlock the phone, MetroPCS used that code when I went to them.

Is there something one has to do when area/state (location) is changed?

Also is there any workaround for the video calling feature yet, I think that's related to VoLTE?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] arshad4u:
Hi All,

I'm new to this as I'm not an Android developer but a good Android user. Requesting moderator to update anything required.

I've Xiaomi mi A1 and it was working for the last 3 years. Last Sunday, it just got hanged while kids were playing with it(maybe multiple apps/videos/some ad clicked) and it got hanged.

I restarted and it stuck on "Android One" screen till now even after multiple attempts.

What I tried:

1. I tried to wipe/factory reset from the Android recovery option(power off + volume up) then it stuck there saying "Formatting data" and I've restarted it to come back to Android One screen after hours.

2. I tried using MiFlash tool and it continues throwing the error "remote device is locked. cannot erase".

Then I got to know bootloader must be unlocked. and for that:

1. I tried fast boot oem unlock but it just says OK and device reboots. When I check status back, it's again locked :(.

2.I tried to unlock it using MiFlashUnlock tool but it says not able to find account details as I may have logged in once but probably I may not have used Xiaomi as cloud instead I prefer Google cloud.

You can assume I'v already searched possibly all threads on the internet and added here all possible information.

Or it's just a platform of Ads?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lamntox:
oooooof, sounds like a harsh brick from some sort of malware downloaded into the device or your kids diddled with some kernel settings somehow

is your device running on qualcomm snapdragon? i have the fix for it in this site

but first try the update option on the recovery, might fix something
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lamntox:
found some fix on a russian website, gonna translate it:

im gonna make a warning there off-script of the russian website, this is NOT guaranteed to work. if it doesnt, send it off for repairs.

what do you need to do this:

1 - fully charge the phone

2 - a working usb cable

3 - a computer with wifi on it (i can tell you have it since you likely posted it on the computer)

4 -you should have Mi flash pro

5 - a recovery image on chinese (WARNING: 1.9 GB, BE PATIENT)

6 - actually working braincells and hands ( you guaranteedly have em)

THE STEPS:

1 - Load in mi flash pro and register in it under your name (not always under your name)

2 - press recovery

3 - you should see a lightning bolt icon along with the IMEI of your device

4 - type in the path of the firmware

even if your device shows your system has been destroyed you can still boot into recovery.

5 - in your device boot into recovery

6 - you see connect with mi assistant? choose that option and confirm it

your device should direct you to connect the usb from your computer to your device

7 - After you setup everything you should see your device, if not, press refresh device, then you should see the flash button, press it

8 - and there begins the magic - wait 5-10 mins for the firmware to initialise, DO NOT DISCONNECT THE USB FROM YOUR DEVICE AT THIS POINT, IF YOU DO, YOU WILL SCREW IT UP AND HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!

if you dont screw up and your device actually boots congratualtions! the power of xi jing ping has restored your phone to normal with a small drawback - its all in chinese

worry not, it doesnt end here:

9 - Unlock the bootloader AKA Unlock OEM (This is important, because otherwise you will brick yourself again and will have to do it all over again)

10 - boot your device into fast boot and flash the global firmware onto your device (the global firmware can be found on the same xiaomiui website you got the chinese firmware from)

i hope this lengthy guide helps
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lamntox:
crud, i forgot the critical part:

it doesnt boot you to the average xiaomi screen, its the A1 model

at this point you need to use the ADB to flash the chinese firmware and unlock the bootloader on the chinese firmware, then flash the global one

though you can still use the same method i typed above

Hello and thanks for inteterest to help. (My phone Redmi 2 Prime)

So to the point, i have my phone installed custom ROM. And today when i try to reset factory, it stuck in the MI Logo (Show and then turned off). So i forgot to flashing the twrp again last time, so i left it without any recovery. The only way is repairing it with Fastboot and installing TWRP. So i start installing all driver and flashing. But, when i want to flash twrp to my phone, it keep showing me this

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

flashing 'recovery.img'

FAILED (Data Transfer Failure(unknown error)

DONE! 5.8 sec

But it doesnt installing any recovery. I have installing MiFlash driver. Is there any driver that i should install again? Or anything that i can do? Also my PC doesnt read my phone storage at all, it doesnt show in the explorer, but can read "my phone" and my phone model. And I'm using USB 2.0. I also have try USB 3.0 but it doesnt work too.

Any help would be appreciated. Sorry for the long post, eh?

Can i download the boot.img manually? If yes, what should i download?
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] dabakale:
Can you share a photo of error.

Or you can try miflash to flash stock rom. Then you try to flash twrp. I suspect there would be something wrong with your recovery partition.(i also had similar problem while flashing different roms.)

Ok, so when i flash stock rom on miflash, at average 70%, it show me "fastboot.exe has stopped working" and show me error 0x80004005('Error flash system.img')

Why, godness? Is it because my laptop is only having 2GB Ram? :(

Or is there any ways to flash TWRP with fastboot without UBL?

Then, I went to the Power settings (the one showing how much battery your device still has), and then went to the Advanced Tab.

I just undid the "Turn off device if not used for" and VOILA!:)

It worked for me. It's weird cause, when that option was checked, it was at 1 min, but my device would always turn off by 10 sec.
