[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] BusterCZ:
Hello there,

I have rather strange issue with my device and id like to ask if anyone else is expiriencing this same behaviour or maybe do know how to fix it.

So i bought this phone about 2 weaks ago. The first weak everything was working like a clockwork. No lags, no reboots needed, excelent battery life. But for last 2 or 3 days I am facing really weird system ?bug?. Basicly anytime i use my phone to pay in shops or public transportation the system starts to lag as crazy... The payment does go through without a problem but just as the google pay screen should pop up on the screen of the phone the phone just freezes in a really weird way. (I can lock it using a power button and the display does go off, but the allways on display doesnt go on and clicking the power button again to unlock the device does nothing. - I am basicly in the situation where i need to hard reset the device in order to continue using it.)

It happened to me once even without paying so i dont think that it is the Google Pay app thats at fault but paying with my device causes the issue everytime.

It is really annoying and i am starting considering returning the phone for a refund and switching to the new Nord 2 as i am still eligible for it. But as a last resort before i do that i want to ask you if someone does know why this is happening and can help me. Other than that i really like the device very much.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] quipstad:
I just performed my heaviest non-root debloat to date (pm uninstall -k --user 0), to keep whittling down on the stock services running on my device.

The only problem I am experiencing is that *all* GPS navigation apps crash on startup.

Well, an old version of Waze would startup, run and navigate just fine, but crashed after a few minutes.

Upon updating it, it now crashes on startup, as do MAPS.ME and MapFactor Navigator (Google is long gone so I cannot speak to that).

What services/packages do I need to reinstall to allow GPS and location-based apps to run?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] quipstad:
To clarify, location services DO work, both briefly in the old version of Waze, and working consistently in ViewRanger which is a trail map app. It shows my precise location and does not crash. Only Navigation apps are crashing.

I'm seriously thinking about getting the Fold 3. Maybe I'm just caught up in the hype but I can't stop thinking about trading the Ultra in for a Fold 3. What do you all think, why or why not?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
When the s21U vs Fold 3 comparisons come out, then take a few weeks and make up your decision.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Batfink33:
Will trade it in for the Pixel 6 Pro.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bartjeh1991:
Man i love the s21, but the software is sooooo bad. Can't get over oneui. The amount of bloat is just insane. Pixel 6 pro will be my next phone most likely.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ansar_Rehman:
seen reviews the fold 3 is a pile of crap specs not as good as s21 ultra
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] shaolin95:
Nah...I was all about the fold 2 when I was moving from the mate 20x as I wanted the biggest phone I could find.

I was very disappointed with it though. First is really not that big and the fold part is horrible looking. Plus it does not help much for media in the end and that front screen is like a KitKat.

Worse is the camera cannot match the s21 ultra either and looks like the fold 3 is more of the same in terms of camera and even smaller?

I need a bigger phone with at least same cameras as the s21 ultra to be happy. Better yet a 16:10 format instead of the current KitKat trend but that ain't happening
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aldoru:
Screen protectors are not available for internal screen, at the moment - so if you drop Fold3 unfolded, it will cost you like 1000 EUR ;) Not worth. Spec is s h i t t y. Cameras are bad. Maybe Fold4 or 5 will be better. If so - I will consider it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
Bro why you making a POLL? Just trade it and come back in a few weeks to tell us how you feel about it.

Happy or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
Smartphone and iPhone innovation has reached a plateau, the manufacturer's are leaning on camera additions and 5G to boost market share. Devices now have 5 or 6 cameras, more camera functions aren't a major driver when it comes to buying decisions, enough is enough! At this point 5G has few practical applications besides faster download speeds. Hardware is pretty much the same as it was 3 to 4 years ago. The focus should be on superior software and UI where the bulk of users express their dissatisfaction.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Meh, don't get me started, for starters...

I think Android dropped the ball with their Apple like fixation on security when there wasn't major issues. Result both 11 and 12 are a pain the use.

Samsung is bent on cutting edge hardware but forgot the basics, like an SD card slot.

They fouled on every flagship model this year.

Problems with variable frequency displays and 5G, the cam hump, back to lame rounded display corners then were saddle bagged with Android 11, killing the ugly horse.

The Fold is a stuck together mess that seems more like a prototype than a polished flagship phone. Two batteries and a less than functional huge display prone to delamination.

I didn't want any of those headaches, just a phone that's fun, fast, stable, reliable, can capture good images and fulfills its mission. My N10+ Snapdragon is 2 years old, runs great and is drop dead gorgeous. Current OS load is 1.5 yo, still fast and stable with minimal maintenance. Good battery life.

Looks/runs like new, only repair was a replacement battery.

So... why fight it? I bought a second one new N10+ for $800. A premium price for a factory sealed perfect 10+. Good to go.

That's what I think about the new phones and so far 2022 is looking just as bad. The 10+ is more fun today then it was 2 years ago. I'm still exploring it's features and rarely burdened with troubleshooting. The longevity of the OS load is testimony to that. Security; running on Pie it has never had a malware forced reload. The newer one is running on Q, so far it's running good. However Q is as high as it will be upgraded.

Eventually I may upgrade from P to Q on the original 10+... maybe.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
Well, I'm not going to defend Android 11 or 12 but the UI on Samsung has made substantial improvements since TouchWiz. Google was correct in efforts to make a more secure platform, it lagged far behind Apple. It has improved however it's still not as secure as iOS. The real advantages in Android 11 and 12 are more apparent on a Pixel Device, it's designed for that device, not a Galaxy, just as iOS is for iPhone's. I still use my S10+ often since I like it's smaller profile, MicroSD and 3.5 Jack. Call me outdated but I'm accustomed to these features and appreciate them. It's not on the same tier as my S21 Ultra but still a solid performer. Most new cellphones still use rounded corners which you don't like but it's much more convenient to slide in or out of my pocket. For me form follows function. Samsung is expecting a huge sales increase in the Fold 3. That may be the case and Samsung better pray it happens since the Galaxy S Series has been in a serious sales decline since the S20. Plus the Fold is no longer innovative, it's been around a few years and competitors are offering similar platforms. To me it's a novelty which is way overpriced when features are compared to other flagship devices. To spend close to 2K on anything that gives you maybe 4 hours SOT isn't something I'd place in a value added category.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Lol, I was using a S4+ running on Kitkat before I got the N10+. Huge difference in the IU. A bit of future shock but it was fun. The customizable is stunning; it looks and functions like I want it too.

TouchWiz was quit crude in comparison. I don't like slow PCs and the 10+ is snappy. I just don't ever run out of ram🤣 The other thing I really just go to pieces over is having a 1.5 dual drive PC in my hand. I require that SD card slot.

I'm running a .5tb now but thinking of going to 1tb.

The 10+ now seems small to me, the Bolt case isn't that bulky but provides excellent protection.

I like the 10+ 7mm profile with no cam hump.

This keeps it's bulk down.

I wear BDU pant so I just put it in the cargo pocket, it never falls out and easy to grab.

Or I'll stash it in the inner vest pocket.

Having watched CRTs for decades, screw rounded display corners! Who frames pictures and paintings with round corners? Very few.

Does Cinemascope have round corners?

Security is mostly hype. The user is almost always responsible for installing or downloading viruses, etc. No saving dumb bunnies...

Trying to make it safe for everyone ruins it for all.

The dumb bunnies still get wacked.

I'm running Pie with no issues, a rootkit could wiggle in but a full reload cost would me a few hours at worst.

Much better than constantly having scoped storage suck cpu cycles/battery and the headaches of nonfunctional/dysfunctional trusted apps because of it.

Scare tactics don't work well on a pragmatist...

Variable rate displays in addition to screwing with color rendering (which is very noticeable to me) also uses more battery. The 10+ handles color profiles so well I don't even think about it.

5G and scoped storage also use more power. My download speeds are good enough to stream vids. Scooped storage has nothing I want, zip.

Battery life is important to me.

SOT time using browser 7-8%@hr

Watching vids in the browser 9-12%@hr.

At night with cell and internet active, tap on AOD less than .5%@hr.

I can use the 10+ for at least 2-3 more years and be happy rather than run the tech gauntlet. This isn't what Google, Samsung or the carriers want, tough. Got tired of the bs and products that don't deliver what I want... so I cancelled them🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] imankareem:
I am still not convinced by foldables. My big butt and my butter fingers will find a way to break foldables screens easily. Plus invested a bit in the S21 Ultra - Spigen cases and Screen protectors + 2 years of Samsung care.

I think I am going to keep my S21 Ultra for a while (i've upgraded to the latest S phone ever since the S8). I've turned off 5g and enabled FHD+. And stopped charging at 85%+.

Not related to the Fold3; felt like ranting -

The Pixel 6 and 6 pro did catch my attention however they have slow finger print readers (not the next gen ultrasonic ones that we have on the S21 Ultra. Most reviews are focusing features like Magic eraser and faster translation which are gimmicky and I feel I wont miss them in my everyday life.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
Agree with everything you've shared. I've upgraded every time since the S6 until the S10. Skipped the S20 and glad I did, the S21 is more refined. Won't be upgrading to the S22 based on what's broadly reported. Pretty sure the difference between a 4 nm and a 5 nm Chipset is negligible and the Exynos 2200 is plagued with production issues. So what's the point, a 108 MP Camera Upgrade, maybe 45W Charging, New Color? Sorry Samsung, these minor additions aren't worth the trouble or $$$. If you've been using a S10 or earlier model MAYBE, otherwise think twice.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
After I become a pilot and have cargo pockets to spare I'll consider a box phone, don't hold your breath...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
If it's the magic eraser in google photos that's attracting you, don't sweat it. In about 6 months the update will be rolled out to all devices given Google's track record. But as someone said here, Android is best used as stock and google does a good job at it. All others add a huge load of bells and whistles on the OS making their versions just clunky and bug ridden...Oxygen OS included...

I like the fold and it is my second choice but I pick my phone for its photography and camera abilities and fold 3 is lacking in the area.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] arknailed7754:
Honestly unless you are returning to apple, what's the point. It's pretty much a given the s21 ultra is an all round beast of a phone. Is it perfect no but it's getting to that point now the phones are so similar beyond some minor hardware changes

Hi,

i accidentally renamed a folder in my HTC TOUCH and don't remember it's old name. It was a folder in root-level and contains the following subfolders:

ftp
LAN
registry

The other folders on the root-level are :

\\Plugins
Appication Data
ConnMgr
Documents and Settings
Interner Speicher
MUSIC
Program Files
Programme
Temp
TomTom
Windows

Could anybody tell me the name of the folder the folder i accidentally renamed.

Thanks in advance

it looks like you renamed Program Files to Programm Files
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kernkraft:
Sorry, this was a typo. I corrected it now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kidnamedAlbert:
then i dont know because it looks like you have a german rom and i dont know what folders are supposed to be what.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kernkraft:
Yes, i have a german rom.

Anyway, i found the name myself. I renamed My Documents and mistook the \\Plugin folder with the My Documents folder in the posting above.

Thanks for helping kidnamedAlbert.

[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] panzerkirby:
Good afternoon fellows,

I seek your help for the next issue. Long story short, a partner from my work asked me if i could help her with her Redmi 8 (she told me that his son found it somewhere on the street), the device was locked by the mi account and frp from google. Looking for tutorials and such i finally could by pass both of them but i think i messed up something.

now the phone opens normally but the wifi won't connect and the sim card is in "just for emergency calls". I have tried to install a new rom but there is no way to flash it as (i think) is bootloader locked.

Is there a way to install a rom (i dont care if its the latest or newest) to make it usable at minimun?

thx before hand.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] fonzacus:
honesty id suggest to not go further. modern phones are pretty resilient nowadays and when you successfully bypassed the lock, the phones definitely blacklisted by xiaomi. what they shouldve done is tried their luck and go to a xiaomi service center instead. network and WIFI locking is usually a false indication, sometimes they can get within range (of a free WIFI or network restrictions) and track through GPS. it was probably locked in the beginning because the owner ordered xiaomi/google to wipe the phone. even with legit methods (buying|giving used ETC) a millenialist without any knowledge how internet accounts work can get blocked often.

some 'unofficial' tools are malicious, ive reversed engineered a few in the past for the fun of it and found 'sketchy' stuff behind the scenes. i havent tried any xiaomi tools so i cant call out theit methods.

and from a parents POV, theyre definitely in the wrong. what if the old owner successfully tracked the phone back to you guys?

can it be done via TWRP or patching a downloaded update zip ?

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] effgee:
The amlogic boxes, magisk does not work unless you hexedit your boot image. It will install, but not function.

There is a video tutorial on 4pda (russian site)on how to do so, and I'm writing up a visual tutorial at some point soon.

I did the process myself one time, and it works.

The issue I am currently having is my Amlogic Box is also a new "mystery" box.

Repacked by a company called "CONCEPTUM" for the greek market here.

The Model is X96 Air Extreme. I have disassembled it and got the specs on it and photos, and will make a post soon.

Have you gotten yet photos of your internals?

This particular box is somewhat compatible with the

X96Max_Plus_Q2_20201209-1446.img (I had to flash it with that.. long story), everything internal works but the wifi only connects at 54 mbps, not sure if its because of a firmware driver mismatch or its a POS.

I'm looking to flash slimbox pie eventually, I'd rather not open my box if I can avoid it.

Ex Kernel manager reports:

• available ram @ 3794mbs

• max clock speed @ 1908mhz and 4 cores

• GPU mali-G31 with OpenGL ES 3.2

for testing which box you have slimhouse wrote this:

First of all, you should look at the system information in the settings, it will be displayed there: Plus, Plus2, Plus100, etc. However, crooks can fake this and stickers.

Using Device Info HW, you can determine whether there is a 1000Mb LAN and which radio module (turn on WiFi!). If the device was flashed with firmware for another modification, then the information may be missing or unreliable - you need to open and check the presence of the LAN 1000 chip and which radio module is installed.

#

The radio module can be identified by the marking on the chip or by the sticker on the board

X96 Max Plus2. Availability Of 1000Mb Ethernet RTL8211F. You can make sure by connecting 1Gb-supporting devices to the equipment or using Device Info HW, or visually by the presence of a chip on the board. There are 2 antennas. RTL8822CS Radio Module

#

X96 Max Plus2

There was a modification of Plus2, but 2GB of RAM, only the 202009 flash and the special flash for 2GB RAM from JAW are sewn. Photo

And there is also a Plus2 version with the RTL8822BS radio module (Fn-Link 6222B-SRB), there is a problem with the radio module on the ports of Yugos.

Device Info HW says my box has a Wi-Fi chip numbered RTL88x2cs, that's not exactly the same as listed above...

I flashed slimbox pie on this box yesterday and all is more less well with the rom, but this box has no ramdisk and even though TWRP flashed successfully according to he official TWRP app i cannot boot into it.

the box tries 2 or 3 times and boots back to the system. without TWRP that i can get to there's no chance of magisk.

any thoughts or advice welcome
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
you need to find a firmware to flash, you can then modify it with magisk and flash it, i made a guide here on the process
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] 3mel:
thanks for the response

will this work on any rom suitable for the box ?

I'll have get YouTube to slow down the video a little so it's easier to follow what you're opening but I think I get the general unpack repack idea.

if you know of a TWRP image that's flashable via flashify or TWRP official app and that works on this box, can this technique be shortened by just patching that image pre-flash ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] 3mel:
I dropped back down to this boxes stock image, Slimbox couldn't keep magisk running and at random times root just stopped working. I tried Aidan's rom but the UI is not for me and there's no sideloading allowed ?? and it couldn't see my memory card anyway.

with the help of Aidan's guide above I got magisk working on the stock rom but I still have a default su binary that came with the box and has no visible root switch. if anyone knows of a way to deactivate it please share.
