[Sony Xperia 1 III] jaseman:
Well, I understand that...this is not my first cell phone, and I usually do NOT have all the issues so many others have. And when I ask myself WHY??? I can only conclude that my 25 years as a Systems Engineer certainly helps, as well as the fact that I use my cell phone primarily as a communications device...you know as they were originally intended. But I also do a number of other things such as banking, internet access, mapping, etc., etc. However, I highly doubt that the problem with overheating, or rapid battery drain is attributable to Google's services (though once in awhile a rogue update can cause problems) but rather the problem inevitably lies with all the 3rd party apps that many load up on their phones. Another leading contributor is not setting the phone up properly out of the box. A recommendation that I always offer when setting up a new phone is this: NEVER allow Google to reinstall all your apps from a backup! NEVER!!!

Just bite the bullet and install them from scratch yourself! This way you are getting a CLEAN/Pristine start! Windows has allowed "upgrades" from one OS to another for years, and while you may have no real problems on your home PC, doing an upgrade on a server will get you fired! That is a MAJOR no-no. Why not, when it would save so much time and effort? Because you are dragging all the detritus left over form the previous version into a new build. Then, if and when problems arise, and they certainly will, you may NEVER be able to determine the cause! Now if this happens on your phone the worst thing is to do a factory reset - YUK - but it's not the end of the companies business, or your livelihood! Try to do this on a server that has already been deployed and I would rather get a root canal without Novocain while actively charged electrodes were anchored to my feet!

So then, NEVER allow Google to reinstall your apps from a backup. Start clean, learn what to turn off/adjust in settings, and load your apps one at a time. Give your battery a few days to settle in, that is to learn your habits of use and you should be OK. YMMV
[Sony Xperia 1 III] blackhawk:
I've played with my 10+ extensively*.

My issues and solutions may not apply to you.

No free rides; you get what you put into it.

WYSIWYG.

Enabling power management of any kind isn't needed, will likely cause erratic behavior degrade the speed and stability in extreme cases even cause boot loops. On my device global power management uses more battery even after a week or more... it does not adapt. It ain't Borg.

Can you really expect a random collection of apks, services and versions to be compatible out of the box? Absolutely not. The shotgun approach will not work well here. Sweat is always the price of freedom...

Developer options>standby apps

All buckets should show as active and their status unchangable, otherwise power management is active.

*factory resets should be only after major firmware updates, malware you can't eliminate, system damage by a app and boot loops *giggle*.

Otherwise track down the root cause and correct otherwise it will likely reoccur... then you'll be right back were you started. The equivalent of rinsing with the wash water.

I am very new to car dash displays and just about a month ago Best Buy installed for me a Dasaita 10.2 Android 10 MAX 10 4G 64G DSP WIFI 1280 X 720 HD Wi ASIN: B07XHJ1WZQ

My question is do I need an update for this Head Unit, and if so, where do I go to get it, and how do I update the unit?

Thank you all for any replies.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Is there a reason(s) why you want to update it?

Updates can break things.

If it's fast, stable and fulfilling its mission, let it be.

Smaller production devices get less feedback than large volume ones. Making troubleshooting harder.

Case in point I spent over 5 hours this weekend troubleshooting after a forced update on my Samsung Wearables app. It trashed the sound completely, and expertly.

I finally was forced to purge it and fortunately had backup copies of the known good version. The Buds+ are a high volume product but that was of no use whatsoever. Zero solutions and no official way to roll it back.

Updates are now firewall blocked...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] osc123:
Coming from S9, Note 10+ and many other older galaxy phones have to say this is absolutely the worst Samsung device I have ever owned.

For those considering, here are reasons why you should strongly think about whether you want to spend the money on this particular model

- Extremely large and heavy device. Doesn't fit in pockets, pulls down pants / shirts it is so heavy

- Extremely unbalanced. Hurts your hand / wrist trying to balance it unless you get a popsocket because it is so top heavy

- Super fragile screen. Low cost panel is super easy to break. Mine broke after 4 weeks of light use in a weird way (half on / half off, intermittant dimming of each display half)

- Loaded with malware. Tons of Samsung malware / adware / spyware to debloat, assuming you get the Exynos

- Back coating for anything but Silver is super easily chipped. Phantom Black chips daily unless you get a case (and increase the size)

- Runs hot. Nice in winter to keep you hands warm but otherwise annoying - any videos or games and expect to feel the heat

- Slow to charge. Super Fast charger takes an hour and a half

- Camera is misleading. Only certain zoom increments work correctly - all others are blurry / basically no improvement relative to s20

While the 10x zoom is sort of cool the reality is that this phone is a lemon compared to other Samsungs or current Apple competition.

Very unrefined effort relative to iphone or better Sammy devices (ex. Note 10+ or Galaxy Alpha) in terms of weight / materials / balance / display.

Likely last Samsung I buy - seriously considering Pixel 5 on GrapheneOS given the litany of hardware and software issues from a super expensive phone you don't really even own.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] rodcpierce:
Interesting perspective. This is my first return to Samsung after writing them off years ago. Outside of the bloat (which can be removed via ADB) and the lack luster camera performance (in comparison to the Pixel line) the phone is solid! It's not any heavier than other similar size devices. It's very fluid and smooth. It's got great hardware and build quality.

If it hurts your wrist... I really can't help you there. Never had such an issue. The balance point in the device is at about the power button so pretty mid phone really.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Limeybastard:
Most of the weight related comments are subjective. I actually prefer the weight and feel of this device compared to the Note 20 ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
You forgot... no SD card slot. No native spen.

And those wretched rounded display corners.

I would at least expect it to be more durable with dog ugly rounded corners. It's a step backward in design and features. I wouldn't buy it for $400.

It wouldn't be the first time I rejected/bypassed a Samsung release.

Samsung has always run hot and cold.

Feel the wuv... just my opinion🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Limeybastard:
I was like you once in regards to the near right angled corners of the Note series. It was my favorite aesthetic part of this phone. But maybe boredom got the better of the me. As I'm digging the smooth rounded corners now. It's so nice to hold in the hand nekid. Ooh errr....

The curved edges are less aggressive as well. The s21U with a 6.9" display would have been nice. Roll on the s22U lol. Truth be told, I would have probably been a Huawei guy by now. Now they make some good hardware. But ant competitive practices put an end to their rise to dominance.

PS I'm in the process of removing bloat. Doesn't seem to be as effective on this device. Perhaps disabling isn't as good as uninstalling like what I used to do ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mpore14:
This is an entirely subjective assessment of the phone. I never had any of these issues and I thoroughly enjoy the experience of the phone. I made sure to do my research before getting this phone and weigh what the important aspects of it vs the not so important aspects. I'm sorry you've had this experience and I hope you get the right device for you next time.

Are your Wrists made out of glass?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Limeybastard:
Mine are quite strong surprisingly 😜
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] beserker15:
Perhaps consider using a belt or jackets with bigger pockets... This phone weighs as much as the iPhone 12 Pro Max and less than the Mi 11 Ultra. If you want the best, you have to accept the weight.

There's no more or less "malware" than any other Samsung device.

What's misleading about the camera? It's got 4 rear cameras each with a specific zoom level.

This sounds like one of those situations where you should've tried out the phone in a store before buying it. Online reviews isn't the same as holding it in your hands.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mpore14:
Indeed. The issue with the size and weight would've been avoided if he/she had done a physical trial of the phone before buying.

Also, the experience of one doesn't mean the experience of many.

Which device are you debloating, the 20U right?

- Why does everyone think that we all want to hear what they hate about the phone?

- If you hate the phone and want to sell it then sell it and move one.

- This whole show of "Why I don't like this phone", to prove how more superior you are to the people that like the phone.

- Most of the "issues" are not issues just your opinions

- Bullet lists are short and contain little facts as they are meant to be used as agenda or discussion points

- Most people use screen protectors and cases

- If you need to tell strangers why you got rid of something you do not value in a long list of bullet points then you have narcissistic* tendencies.

* is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] slickwidnick:
I bought a nexbox a1 android tv box with an s912 soc and running android 6. I'm using it to run my virtual pinball machine arcade that I built. I have real arcade buttons hooked up to a Zero delay usb controller. I've already bought two other android boxes that didn't work because I wasn't able to get the tv screen to rotate to portrait mode because they took the option to activate screen rotation out of Android 7+ because this firmware is for android tv and most people would be using them on tv in the landscape orientation, and probably to streamline the amount of code needed they took the option in the build.prop right out. Now my issue is this version of Android, for whatever reason, doesn't recognise the usb controller, the one of the other boxes registered the directional keys and I needed to root that box to be able to setup touch emulation, but at least that one recognised the buttons. This android 6 box doesn't. I need to know if there is a driver or app I need to get the buttons working

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] YuriBasescu:
This is smth very weird. I have some videos produced on Adobe Premiere (h264 and h265). I can reproduce them perfectly with the OnePlus gallery app or any other video app. However when it comes to process/convert it (either for sending it or uploading it) apps throw errors.

I.e. WhatsApp, telegram fails to send the video (unable to process), Instagram or Facebook stories fail to process it as well.

I had no problem to send this kind of formats with my previous Xiaomi.

I have tried to send it with my friends old Huawei and he can process it perfectly...

So I'm starting to think that Mediatek is the guilty here..

Any idea guys?

I attach the videos
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] rsenden:
I think there are some issues with hardware video decoding on the Nord 2, maybe that's the cause for your issue as well?

In my situation, video output freezes when video resolution is changed in browsers that have hardware decoding enabled; see https://xdaforums.com/t/video-freezes-in-chrome-audio-captions-continue.4333457/.

Do you see similar warnings and errors in 'adb logcat' as described in that thread?

[Monitors] christopherwoods:
I finally took the plunge and picked up a ViewSonic G-SYNC 144 Hz (165 Hz when overdriven) QHD 2K AHVA monitor last March. Aside from one worrying moment where the screen wouldn't display anything over DisplayPort, after some tasteful swear words it came back and has been working since. I do tend to use it at max 144 Hz, often less (120 Hz or 100 Hz if game streaming, as G-SYNC causes a few issues with OBS). A friend bought the Samsung Odyssey G9 DQHD which runs at 240 Hz, which is insane.

I have a 60 Hz monitor next to the 144 Hz one and frankly using anything less than 100 Hz disgusts me now.

Do you have a particular refresh rate you prefer, and is a faster refresh or higher quality panel your main priority? Variable Refresh Rate is great, but what is the most prevalent out there? Interested to know what monitors you are using and whether you consider them bad, good or average for the price.
[Monitors] strongst:
Mainly I'm using two Monitors:

Lenovo P44w-10 with H/K USB-C Speaker and LG 24GM79G-B

Both are capable of 144Hz which is a big difference when you play FPS shooters and don't want any motion blur(like me).

The Lenovo is really expensive, but theres no alternative when it comes to the multiple connections the monitor can serve to you and the picture quality is really good though it has not a high vertical resolution(only 1200).
[Monitors] christopherwoods:
How do you find things like panel uniformity and backlight bleed?
[Monitors] strongst:
The Lenovo panel is well made(also the overall quality) and I can't see excessive bleeding in dark situations.
[Monitors] dlads:
Have an Acer Predator z35, 144 at stock and overclocks to 200Hz, g-sync compatible, have an Nvidia card, but game at 144.

It's kind of the sweet spot.
[Mice] christopherwoods:
Been a longtime Razer DeathAdder user. The V2 Pro finally went wireless, and frankly I feel like it's the best all round mouse I've used to date, including the very famous Logitech mice from back in the days of early LAN gaming.

While the DA Elite is an absolutely wonderful wired mouse, the DA V2 Pro was the one which finally converted me to wireless. Battery life is superb (its sleep mode helps a lot), though I do turn it off when away from the PC or overnight - easy with the mechanical switch on the underside. The Chroma Razer logo flashes red when it's reached a point where you need to recharge. Micro USB cable is keyed so it obviously only fits into the mouse one way, making life a bit easier. A shame they didn't use USB-C though.

The latency with the Razer transceiver's 2.4 GHz mode is incredibly low, basically undiscernable from wired; the additional Bluetooth capability is useful for pairing temporarily to a work laptop or portable device for some mobile working / gaming / amusement. Cloth covered cable is very nice, and you can charge while using over USB which is pretty seamless when you need to swap.

Biggest downside is that Razer no longer bundle the desk charging cradle with the DA V2 Pro, probably for reasons of cost saving, instead you must buy the Charge Station Chroma for a breathtaking USD 50 / GBP 70! Personally I'd keep that money to put towards beer and snacks unless you're a hardcore Razer cultist.
[Mice] theandies:
I have the DA wired mouse. I've never had any good results from a BT or dongle mouse. What I don't like about Razer is Chroma software and it's constant updating without my permission. I'll live with the rotating LED color and I never really see it much with my hand on it all the time.

There are some that are upscaling SBC for rooted users; that variant's bluetooth stability is another issue. The SSC is a very good bt codec.

Easiest solution is to use a rom that supports SCC natively.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] Jhoopes517:
Use TMO to EU MSM and then download the update or use oxygen updater for global and flash that via local upgrade. You should then be on 11.2.8.8 global if you use that update.

You'll also need to flash your TMO modem or you won't have service. You'll need to do that after every OTA.

Was lurking a battery drain thread and 5G came up a couple times so I thought I'd try to switch my band and see what's up. Tried dissecting Settings to the best of my ability and couldn't find sh*t for switching to 4G.

I was determined tho, whipped out the old Google and after a couple searches found a 'Samsung Band Selection' app as a workaround, but I thought the app was overkill for what I wanted. It was pulling a native menu from Settings so I used Tiles(Nova Actions worked too) and looked through its Activities and found that menu myself
