GPS Programs

Hello Shadowluan,

This is a problem I once had too, and I found that you only have to subscribe to programs like telenav or pay GPS programs like tom tom. The two standard yet excellent free gps applications I use are Windows Live Search http://livesearchmobile.com/windows_mobile.htm, and Google Maps http://www.google.com/mobile/default/maps/index.html. However, the free programs do not do everything a good pricey GPS program will do. However, you should use quick GPS under programs > tools before connecting, as it can greatly reduce the time it takes to connect to the satellites. Hope I've helped,

Dave

Download google maps for pocket pc. When it's open check off use gps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shadowluan:
hi, i have google maps already, but whenever i use it, it says i have to have a data connection. if i check off use gps like you said, how can i use google maps to show the direction? thank you very much
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shadowluan:
Can I use google maps or windows live search to find the direction i want without data connection or Wifi or any internet stuff. because i think htc 8925 has gps built in right? thanks

GPS Usage

Hello Shadowluan,

Windows live search can show direction once it has a satellite connection established and an active internet connection. However, as far as I know, there is no free GPS program that can show maps without an internet connection over At&t or wifi or some other internet connection. Having maps installed on the device I believe is only a feature of the pricey programs. Hope I've helped,

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
The HTC 8925 HAS GPS built in, all it has is a device that sends your phone its Lat/Long Coordinates. You need a piece of software that can take that information and feed it into a map.

Google Maps and Windows Live, store their maps on a server and therefore require a data connection.

Other Programs put the maps on your Device, TomTom, iGo 2008, but these cost money.

Make your choice. Buy the Nav Program or pay the Data Charge.
[Google Pixel 6] bentastic:
I got my Pixel 6 today and was actually planning to switch from my iPhone 13 Pro. However, the auto brightness seems to bei very very sensitive to me, even If I stay in the same position with same light conditions it changes very hard. Die you think this ist a Bug or is my device defective? Any expierences?
[Google Pixel 6] PhilipL2021:
It is using what Google call Adaptive brightness, when this was introduced it was hopeless on my Pixel 2 XL, but as they said, if you keep adjusting the brightness it does tend to learn over time, and after severa days on the Pixel 2 it always seemed spot on, and I've not touched the brightness slider in years!

Now on the Pixel 6 (I'm using the Pro) I find the brightness is all over the place again and I keep needing to adjust it all the time. In a dark room it keeps pushing the brightness back up, so I'm hoping the same is true and after a few days it will learn how I like it.

So give it couple of days is my advice, just keep adjusting it.
[Google Pixel 6] palmaholic:
I'm more worried about the SOT. I haven't heard anything on Pixel 6, but for Pixel 6 Pro, the SOT can range from 3-4 to 6-7 hours. The spread is just too wide to accept!

Any findings elsewhere? Thanks.
[Google Pixel 6] PhilipL2021:
Toms guide has some numbers, with the Google Pixel 6 Pro at 7 hours 53 minutes in their testing, see the chart and tests at https://www.tomsguide.com/uk/news/google-pixel-6-battery-life-tested-we-have-bad-news

I'm not sure how their test script works exactly. If it just loads as many pages as possible a faster phone may churn through more content and so uses more data and power. I.e. is it a real world test or torture test they used?

The phones over 4G appeared to get a couple of hours extra, pointing towards 5G with the Samsung modem perhaps not so well optimised or just not as good at power management as modems from Qualcomm. It could just be a local issue when they tested those devices and 5G signal was not so good or hit a more distant cell. Who knows.
[Google Pixel 6] mojorisin7178:
you are exactly right. The only time I have to ajust the brightness is when i get a new pixel for the first few days or after a factory reset. So I belive this is normal behavior. After you have made the ajustments to the way you like it it will learn and do it for you.
[Google Pixel 6] 86rickard:
I hope this learning this is true because it's driving me mad at the moment. I can be sitting there on the phone and the slightest movement brightens or dims the screen. I'm using the slider but so far not noticed.
[Google Pixel 6] rpolito73:
Same issue and they are correct with learning. Just heads up, I believe the sensor is in the camera strip so when you use the phone landscape playing games, be sure not to cover it. They should have an option in game mode later to disable adaptive when playing games.

I think I'm going manual.

[Realme 7 Pro Questions & Answers] alien762:
I fixed it using part of this guide ->https://xdaforums.com/t/unbrick-realme-7-pro-ui-1-0-android10.4347457/:

- Flash a custom recovery (i use twrp) and start the phone in recovery.

- Download the official rom ozip for realme 7 pro (i use the eu version).

- Start the phone in recovery and connect the phone to a pc and copy the ozip in it (i created a folder named "roms").

- Download a OFP Rom (the only i find are indian version).

- Download "MCT ofp extract tool" (for prevent virus warning it is possible use a vm machine...i used a second pc) and extract the OFP Rom.

- Download "minimal adb portable" and extract in the OFP Rom folder (where are the files of ofp rom extracted).

- Via fastboot flash the follow img:

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img

fastboot flash vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_vendor.img

fastboot flash super super.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash persist persist.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

- Now start the phone in recovery (will be the stock recovery).

- Wipe and after that flash the ozip file.

- After that format the memory phone (always via stock recovery).

- Reboot and that's all the phone start via with stock rom.

After configuration there are some update with the last ota dated 28/10/2021.

I hope, someone, will find it usefull.

Hi, man.

I really need help with this one. I have a bricked device.

So, can you provide me with the twrp? I tried to install one but can't find the right one. Also, I'm stuck with this "boot destroyed" thing. Have tried to fix it--and it seems there's step in your solution above that I've tried as well (aka. flashing boot, vbmeta, super, etc.) but still can't get it work. Do you have any idea?

Cause it seems that I have to fix the boot destroyed thing first.

I followed instructions and it works it is pretty smooth, the audio manager doesn't work but everything else does. all I can say is Wow.

I am using Syrius R1 plus 3D drivers from this forum. I am really happy, no need for Diamond now.

Edit: It seems if you try to do too many things at once, it will slow down and you need to reset it, ALSO if you press the power button seems to just blink off and on until you press power button again. It is REALLY NICE THOUGH I can't wait until they get the bugs worked out. In the forum he does say it is not meant for daily use but for test only so uninstalling and going back to 2D.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] Wutang200:
I've just bought an S21 to replace my S10e work phone but been struggling for the past 2 hours trying to restore my call logs, messages, apps, homescreen and everything else. Prior to doing this, I successfully completed a backup on my S10e to the Samsung Cloud.

When trying to restore my data to my S21 is where things get really messy and complicated! Powering on the S21 for the first time doesn't provide me with an option to restore from the Samsung Cloud. I had to get past the initial setup of the phone to reach the default home screen before I was able to attempt a restore from Samsung Cloud. It's now on the Settings, Home Screen & Apps bit and is taking absolutely forever!

1. Is this normal for a super fast phone like this?

2. It's not restored my WhatsApp & its message data. Why is this?

The last time I restored my data on my iPhone using iCloud, it took less than 30 minutes for everything.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] blackhawk:
Get a OTG .5tb flashstick for "dirty" backups.

A SD card slot makes life much easier...

In addition to the above...

Use at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC to redundantly backup critical data.

Do not rely on SmartSwitch, backup by cut/paste for critical data. Verify the copy is readable and the correct size and folder amount.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] Wutang200:
The restore finished in the end. It just took a very long time. Some apps didn't restore themselves so I had to do a compare against the home screen on my S10e and download the missing apps.

WhatsApp didn't even get backed up to Samsung Cloud so I had to back it up to Google Drive and restore from there.

The whole process has been quite clunky and confusing but got there in the end.

Hello everyone. I purchased a new Tripletek Pro tablet (running Android 10) for use with my drone due to the super-bright screen it has. I also want to root it so I can use it for other tasks. I don't see a group for this tablet specifically, so is there a generic root process I can perform to do so? Thanks! Please advise.

Here is the link to root, including instructions, for the Tripltek 8 Pro. This is officially from the company.

Tripltek 8 Pro Root
[General Questions and Answers] robroy90:
Thanks. I see the firmware download, but nothing about root. Are you saying this download is pre-rooted?
[General Questions and Answers] MindArchr:
The company told me that link was for rooting. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. I had to do quite a bit of research outside of that link in order to gain root, including unlocking the bootloader. Send me a PM and I can share the steps with you that I did in order to gain root, because it wasn't an easy process.
[General Questions and Answers] Rumsfield:
Did you figure it out? I pre-ordered the new 9 Pro that just came out. In messaging they told me the bootloader was unlock-able but they weren't exactly keen on telling me the steps to do it.
[General Questions and Answers] Rumsfield:
Figured it out. The link they sent was indeed for rooting as it was the original firmware zip with the boot.img inside that you need for rooting with magisk.

1) Go into settings and enable dev options. (do the tap tap tap thing until it tells you that you are now a dev).

2) Enable USB debugging and check the enable bootloader unlocking option as well inside dev options.

3) Make sure latest version of ADB is installed on a PC.

4) Run these commands ADB devices, ADB reboot bootloader, fastboot flashing unlock, click volume button to proceed, fastboot reboot. Boot Loader will now be unlocked.

5) From the zip of the original firmware, extract boot.img and put it on the tablet somewhere easy to find.

6) Install Magisk app, then click install by patching a file. Choose the boot.img from the zip thats now on the tablet.

7) Take the new magisk_patched.img from the tablet and put back on PC in adb tools folder.

8) Run these commands ADB reboot bootloader, fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img, fastboot reboot.

Done.
[General Questions and Answers] CraiulLup:
Hey, Rumsfield thanks for these notes, it really helped. I got stuck at step 4, after running fastboot flashing unlock my 9 Pro goes into fastboot mode by showing a small text in bottom left corner saying "fastboot mode" but that's all, nothing happens if I press either volume buttons.

Also, where did you get the zip of the original firmware from? The link in this thread is for the 8 version and I am guessing it's not the one we need for the 9 Pro, right?
[General Questions and Answers] CraiulLup:
Their Support team replied and sent over the link to the firmware, but did not provide any instructions whatsoever. Still can't get past that fastboot step :(

For the record, the firmware is here. Using it will void the warranty, per their team

[General Questions and Answers] CraiulLup:
Does anyone have any ideas on why the volume buttons don't work when you enter fastboot mode?
[General Questions and Answers] Rumsfield:
I will help you out, are you rooted/bootloader unlocked? The vol buttons definitely do what the software says.

What exactly are you trying to do? When it comes time to flash the system with an unlocked bootloader its a serious job, will take about 30 minutes and you have to use their weird software. I can explain how to do it if you want.
[General Questions and Answers] Rumsfield:
No, the firmware will not void your warranty, its just a warning. Its their firmware! They just dont want you to unlock the bootloader (which you can). If you re-lock it, the warning goes away and noone would ever know lol.
[General Questions and Answers] Rumsfield:
you need to enter the command "fastboot flashing unlock" in adb with the tablet plugged into the pc while the tablet is in fastboot. The tab will take 2 seconds and ask if you are sure press whatever vol button to agree, it will then unlock the bootloader and erase the tablet.
[General Questions and Answers] CraiulLup:
Update: I've managed to fix it by updating my Windows 10 to the latest version and that apparently updated some drivers for the MediaTek tablet and allowed my PC to see the device while in fastboot mode. Rumsfield instructions were perfect (just needed an update on my part, which I found after some google-fu).

Now I just need to find a way to change the boot animation (I have done it, but everytime I reboot it defaults back to the original one).
[General Questions and Answers] CraiulLup:
I've followed this guide to the letter to create my bootanimation.zip file but still, every time you place it on the tablet and reboot, it resets to the default one.
[General Questions and Answers] Rumsfield:
I'd also like to get rid of the stock one, its way too bright and leaves burn in. When you figure it out let me know and I'll use yours. I told them about the burn in and the response was:

"The display on the TRIPLTEK 9 is a TOP quality display designed for us, in fact there is not other like this one on the market capable of sustaining 1300 nits , and it has been tested for more than a year before we installed it on our devices.

We understand some users would like to do something else with their devices , and this is why we allow developer users to unlock the bootloader, although unlocking the bootloader and using your own kernels and rom should be performed at your own risk , TRIPLTEK does not recommend it nor support it.

Our devices are not consumer smartphones. Our devices have special and safety features and they are used for those purposes . So, the system has been designed for optimal performance making sure all the performance values will stand at the temperature ranges advertised without risking the hardware components. For example the brightness sustained should not exceed 1300 nits, with the actual thermos configuration, our panel can support up to 2000 nits ,and as you know this value can be changed installing custom kernels and without proper active cooling thermos the display could burn and present a risk for the user..

To maintain the integrity of your TRIPLTEK 9 we suggest you to keep the bootloader locked and use only our OEM firmware, rom and kernel, otherwise we can not guarantee the correct functionality of the device.

Regards

Aubrey

The TRIPLTEK Team"

Maybe there should be a TriplTek dedicated sub forum on here? 2000 nits my butt, the screen would fry itself.

"being tested for over a year" means its the same screen from the T8 PRO, the only difference was the previous gpu/cpu SOC could not handle that screen very well. The T9 and T8 have the same screen, they just locked the T8 to 1080p and the T9 has a slightly upgraded SoC from 2020 instead of 2019.

They also are lying about the 12gb of ram, only 10gb is usable with the current T9 SoC as it is a dated ARM Mali G76 MC4 SoC from 3 years ago. That chip explains the older version of USB 3 (where is 3.2?), Bluetooth 5.0 (where is 5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4?) & lack of 5G cellular and WiFI 6/E support.
[General Questions and Answers] CraiulLup:
I'll let you know if I figure it out. I was trying to use bootanimation.zip but it looks like for Mediatek devices there's a different way to do it. So I've generated a new boot logo now (only the boot logo, not the animation that comes after as well) and I just need to use the SP Multi Tool to push it to the device. If that works, I need to do a full backup of the ROM on the device to extract the boot_logo file which has the animation part, then edit and flash that back.

Need to find some time to do all this during the week as I'm super swamped at work.
[General Questions and Answers] Rumsfield:
Sounds like a crap-load of work! The SP multi-tool is janky as hell, everytime you flash it wipes the device. If you figure out how to side-load let me know. They do have a Google Drive account w/shared privileges that they keep updated firmware on (for others reading this). They do not like folks tinkering with their product, that's for sure.
[General Questions and Answers] CraiulLup:
No success. I was able to add the files to the firmware but SP Tool won't flash it because it recognizes the hash for the 2 files are different and won't pass the check.

Has anyone successfully installed a GIS ROM to their Tripltek tablet? I have the 8 Pro and can get LineageOS 20 installed fine. Everything from what I can tell works just fine except for one major issue.

Every time I try to run apps side-by-side I invariably can no longer access the multi-tasking recent apps and I encounter issues / freezes. "Trebuchet keeps stopping" dialogs come up too. So I figured I'd try other launchers that are compatible with Magisk QuickSwitch (allowing them to replace Trebuchet as an app to control recent apps). But I'm not having much luck there either.
