I googled about methods to export more than 40 000 messages. All I found were apps that you need to pay in order to export chats and some app that works with decrypting WhatsApp backup file. Problem is that that program and all instructions are old, and working for "mgstore.db.crypt12" and lower versions, and current WhatsApp have "crypt14".

So is there any way to export WHOLE chat in some readable format or I must give up?

Phone is Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite, running Android 10 based MIUI Global 12.5.1.

It's a chat with my current gf that is years and years long (never deleted WhatsApp chat history), and I wanted to present as a gift our first-ever convo. If there is some way great, if not I can live without it. Thanks!

I just installed twrp,

Wiped data, internal, meta data

now I can't transfer the ROM file to my internal :(

Help :(
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Games Goblin:
Have you formatted (not wiped) the data?

Reflash stock ROM using MiFlash tool and reinstall TWRP. Do not wipe anything....just flash the ROM u want, Format data (yes), reboot to TWRP, reboot to system.

The right steps are:

1 fastboot boot twrp.img

2 Flash rom with inject twrp checked

3 Reboot to recovery

4 Flash Magisk ( if required) else

5 Format data by typing yes

6 Reboot to system

U mean detailed steps, not the right one because my way is right too but not so....detailed lol
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ajsmsg78:
Don't ever format data until you're done flashing whatever ROM you're flashing or you'll have issues. If you do you'll have to reboot to system again then reboot back into TWRP, then you should be good again. Use a USB C Flash Drive to put all of your important stuff on including the ROM you're flashing as it's much easier.

Hi,

I've been looking for an easy way to change the font on my TP.

I've tried someones cab file which works, but then I can only use the font supplied in the CAB.

Someone else suggested copying the new ttf over the existing one and renaming it..

eg, new font is red.ttf, rename to tahoma.ttf and copy over existing tahoma.ttf

but, in my windows/font folder I don't have tahoma!!

maybe this is a result of a theme I installed (the font in the font foler is nyama or something)

so, what is the quickest and easiet way to change system font?

thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] xenkato:
Use this tool ,it works for me
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] twisted-pixel:
but this app only has 3-4 fonts in it...I want to be able to add any font I like. is there a way to do that?

can I add fonts to this app and therefore make them selectable?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] twisted-pixel:
ok..I found out that if you add fonts to the windows font folder then they appear in the drop down as selectable with this app..

however...I can't change the system font (I say system font, but I mean the main one, that is displayed on the now page in SPB MS etc. it stays as tahoma...and what's even more interesting is that I can't find the tahoma font anywhere on the device!! (I was going to copy over this with my new font)

so...has anyone got any other ideas about how to change the font on the TP?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 12aon:
As you can see here I've changed my font for the entire device (you might not see that it's for the entire device but it is) the rest of what I know is in that post, cheers
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Minus-1:
I seem to recall that Tweaks 2K2.NET allowed you to change fonts as well (via the registry) but be prepared for disproportionate buttons and dialogs which may flow off the screen. :(

Did you want to change the fonts as a user pref thing or is it in order to increase their size and make them easier to read?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] twisted-pixel:
just a user preference thing. I find the tahoma font quite boring. Tweaks2k2 does allow you to change fonts but again, not the main one.

I can't quite understand it. you can change the one in the drop down menus, the dialogue boxes etc but the main one (for sms or emails for example) stays the same.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Minus-1:
Pixel, I could've sworn that I did this on my wife's PPC.

Using Tweaks2K2.NET, you can change the system font and size.

The only caveat is that you have to have the font installed to your PPC's \Windows\Fonts folder first.

Wait a sec. Lemme g00gle this...

[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] px3r:
Hello to all,

I need your help urgently. So far I have only read along. And I write in German and have it translated :-)

I have a OnePlus 7T Pro (Model: HD1917).

What do I want:

-InstallTWRP (should be able to backup)

-Root access (with Magisk?)

-install Lineage OS.

I have done well with some old smartphones. With this one I doubt it!

Problems:

-TRWP has no read access

-TWRP does not have DATA mounted

-After a few attempts, the recovery of Lineage suddenly starts?

-What's the deal with A/B?

-etc.

Is there a really good description somewhere on how to proceed?

Thank you very much for any help!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] aidenh37:
Title.

One feature from iPhones, and more recently BBK Group devices (OnePlus and Oppo) that I really like is Smart 5G switching as it automatically turns off 5G when it's not needed to save battery life.

Another feature from Google's Pixel line is the ability to select text from the Recents screen, useful when text isn't selectable usually.

Does ZenUI have either of these? Thanks!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] assasss:
Hey,

So there is smart 5g option but it is called Auto 5gView attachment 5392035

Hi to all F3 owners hope your enjoying your new toy?

Only query / disappointment for me so far is that battery life is nowhere near as good on Fold 3 as it was with Fold 2.

1.5 hours light usage today and I am down to 58% - mostly indoors and on WiFi

I expected the latest Snapdragon 888 to have as good of not better power management than last year's CPU.

What is other F3 owner's experience?

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dezborders:
Believe it or not to today has been very light usage compared with a typical day

I have same Apps and settings as i had with my Fold2 so don't know what's up

Hopefully after a few more days of battery usage learning things will settle down

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
This happens with every release of every new phone. It always takes a few days for it to settle as it's downloading apps, settings, updates, etc. It's WAY too early to compare battery life. Give it a week.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] jackdforme:
Give it time to take a calibration and you to stop using your device not in the muscle memory you and the phone will develop.

Then they'll push a firmware upgrade that destroys all that hard work you and your new fold put in getting to know one another.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dezborders:
See Buds+ battery stat.

Only paired them with phone 2 hours ago to so recording 10 hours of background battery usage is quite an achievement

I reckon the battery usage stats are unreliable on my Fold3 ...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dezborders:
Estimated 15 hours on a full charge..... Spectacularly BAD if accurate long term

Battery drain (mostly standby) in first hour is 6%

Total app usage in 90 mins since coming off charge is 1.9%

Therefore standby drain is 4.1% per 90 mins. Not ideal.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Xeon:
Tried power saving
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ButterflyFlutterflyMyOhMy:
Something was definitely draining my phone yesterday, as I charged it to 40% in my car (we were without power for three days, just got it back an hour ago) before putting it on Airplane Mode with Location and NFC turned off, just Bluetooth on to play music on my speaker for two hours. This usually, with Wi-Fi and cell service and everything else on, uses 10% of the battery. My battery went down to 13% somehow! After later restarting the phone, the issue was fixed and today it has been draining normally even on 4G.

Last night, while sleeping, I put the phone into the most extreme Power Saving mode (the last box on the bottom of the options list) to make the battery last over one day long, and it really worked because it was about 97% when I went to bed and 93% when I woke up, and my e-mail notifications still sounded. Impressive.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Zerobim08:
My fold 3 drains about 1% per hr sleeping normal mode with watch connected. My note20 ultra does the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ButterflyFlutterflyMyOhMy:
This was over a ten-hour period on 4G, but I don't think it would only drain 1% per hour when not used (I use AOD and multiple PUSH e-mail acc'ts and often get Instagram and Messenger and sometimes text messages while asleep, plus Bluetooth and WiFi, among other things). I always charge it at night, so I don't know, but I don't change any settings for night usually. I'm always on it during the day, so I don't know what leaving it for an hour would be. But, the battery is great on this thing. Other than the other day when something was messing with it.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Nastrahl:
Well they could have put two batteries given the extra space, plus they always said they made optimisations so we would like to actually notice them.

But i agree we are difficult :D

There are 2 batteries. It's still pretty awesome what they've put in this bad boy, though. One side has 4 cameras, 3 mics and a screen, the other has a camera 3 speakers (very good ones too) a mic and 2 screens.

I honestly think that this is the best overall phone made, if you want the really big screen. I also think it'll be the best until the Fold 4.

But yeah, we're difficult. I too want more, but I'm ok to wait 😁
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Nsoo:
Hello guys,

First of all, I hope everyone is well here :) I really need your assistance with most probably a battery drain issue I have with my device.. In case I'm in the wrong thread I want to apologize in advance and please prompt me to the correct one or to open a new thread.

My issue is called Google Play Services.. This is what I got last night: https://ibb.co/tc98RyK and almost most of my days end like this, especially when I'm not using WiFi so much.

I have already tried and done what I've researched over the net like:

Clear cache on Google Play Services, Google Play Store etc

Turn off 5G

Turn off location accuracy for Bluetooth and Wifi.

Restarted the device about 15 times :D

Also, I tried to install AccuBattery but I've uninstalled it as my device was vibrating every 5 seconds. It is really my next step Factory reset or do you have any other solution? Highly appreciated all the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] killahhops:
What I've done outside of the steps in the thread was:

Put majority of my apps to sleep and use tasker to turn on Power Save once the screen is off and then turn it off once I turn the screen(s) back on. That has dramatically improved my battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Nsoo:
Thanks a lot for your reply! It is highly appreciated. All these actions you did because you had the same issue with me with Google play services? Also, if I use power save with screen off, how is it performing in terms of notifications?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] chetly968:
This is without a doubt the best phone ever made in my opinion. I wish they could've added macro capabilities and better zoom to the cameras but I wouldn't give up that large screen for them. I get more use out if that than I ever do with a camera of any kind. I take like 5 pictures a month. For more camera.focised users, this may not work out.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Cyrax-001:
11 hours in two charges for sure?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dezborders:
"OK" is a fair assessment of battery life / SOT on Fold3 .... however I cant shake the thought i consistently had 30% better on my Fold2.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] jeromepearce:
Is that a product of 120Hz screens and 5g, perhaps? Does limiting to 4g and 60 Hz give 30% more SoT?

Turning off 'vivid' displays seems to help too.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Disable all power management in Device Care.

Clear logs in Device Care>storage as needed.

Clear data in Google play Services

Clear system cache

You can package disable Playstore when not needed.

You can temporarily Google play Services but Gmail needs it to open. Disable Find my Device as Administrator in Security if Google play Services disable button is greyed out.

A factory reset will likely solve nothing unless you did a recent major firmware upgrade. Find the root cause(s) or they will just reoccur after the reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dezborders:
All of the above will help yes :)

In my case , I disable 5g and GPS accuracy improvement (WiFi and Bluetooth scanning )

My point is though the Fold2 had all of Fold3's functions enabled by default and with 30% longer battery life

It's kind of like buying a sportscar and pulling it along the road tied to a donkey 🐴

If we have to disable all the advanced functionality of the Fold3 to get a whole day on a full charge then what's the point of the F3?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Depends if you need it or not.

I routinely keep Google play Services disabled unless I need it on my N10+.

Playstore and about 87 packages are disabled unless needed which is rare.

It nets me about 7-10+%@hr more SOT. It's not a trivial amount. At night instead of using 10+% it uses 3%.

The phone does everything I need it to do well.

I deliberately avoided a 5G and variable refresh rate device because they are still problematic.

So again if you choose to enble or disable them it depends entirely what you want and if the trade offs/advantages warrant doing so.

You're in control... not the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dezborders:
My question and point was why is F3 25% worse battery life than F2...

F3 has SD888 which is supposed to be more power efficient over previous Snapdragon CPUs

F3 has LTPO screens which are supposed to use less power compared with older screen tech

All other functions (5G, GPS, etc are identical) between F2 and F3.

So why does a 10% smaller battery give 25-30% less SOT?

Its a source of frustration on an otherwise awesome device..

I am split 50/50 between selling my S21 Ultra and keeping my new F3... or selling F3 and getting a whole day (and more) from the S21U
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Base your decision on display repair. Both of those phones have had display issues... you know the deal with the Fold displays by now so I won't bore you. If you go past a year or two the batteries will need replacement too which probably isn't that bad

Samsung's can be a handful, but their UI is great. You can sort out the battery drain, eventually. Both my N10+'s were hot running battery hogs out of the box🤣

One is a factory variant, the oldest a AT&T carrier phone, both stock. I carbon copied my optimizations for the older phone to the newest one and they worked near perfectly with only a few new packages needing disabled. On the N10+ Android 9 and 10 are behave very similarly.

Would this hold true with other models and higher OS's? Likely so, probably to a greater than lesser extent.

Nonetheless occasionally I need to track down a power hog every now and then even now. It's not one single cause or solution.

I've been on the browser today and you can see the phone is running clean right now at about 7% SOT@hr, 40% brightness;

On the Fold your screen off power consumption will give you an idea what's mucking it up in the background. Tap on AOD* runs at about .5%@hr, always on at 1%@hr. That's with internet/phone connection on, Google play Services off and all cloud apps disabled. If you're using much more battery usage than that, you got background apps running that don't need to be.

*analog clock, self adjusting brightness. The newer phone's hardware should be more efficient than my 10+'s with screen off. Since the Fold has 2 batteries, they likely have separate power controllers. This may impact battery usage slightly as can more display pixel usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dezborders:
Thanks for all the great advice on power saving tips :) and I have zero doubt all of them will help extend battery life. However I bought my £1600 Fold3 as a natural upgrade to my Fold2. I bought it to use fully not to disable lots of features. My Fold2 ran fine with all functionality enabled and got a full day easily from a full charge . That's not the case with Fold3 which has a 10% smaller battery but a 30,% less SOT . As I am beyond the returns period With Samsung I have 2 options available... 1. Get used to charging twice a day or 2. Sell it . I will wait until Android 12 comes out later this month then decide in the new year.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
I would leave it on Android 11 unless 12 is proven to be better.

First thing I do is disable OTA updates... they break things.

I hear what you're saying about functionality. I enable Google play Services when I need to look at Gmail which is once or twice a day. It's drain is about 1-2%@hr. Of course it all adds up.

Try using manual brightness control, that can help battery drain a lot and your eyes too.

Try disabling ARcore.

Playing with it is the way you track these issues down. It's likely just one or a few apps (and/or settings) causing it.

Almost impossible to crash a stock Android... so look around and play with it.
