[General Questions and Answers] aaaeeer2:
Perhaps it is a stupid question but I don't own a smartwatch but I am planning to buy one soon. But right now I really don't know how the building process and uploading final release without the debug info works in new Wear OS smartwatches like Samsung Galaxy 4 Active I plan to buy.

So, is it possible?

Something like making a final release build and installing it then on my smartwatch without uploading it first to Google Play store? Does Android Studio support something like that?

I know there are private apps and what not but I don't want to share that with anybody. I want that app to be used only on my phone perhaps even locked by some mac address or device unique ID etc inside the Kotlin code.

Is something like that possible?

Have any of you done something like that?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You can create whatever app you want and use it on your device. There is nothing that says your app has to be uploaded or shared for other people to use.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] egandt:
I can not boot into recovery mode on my unlocked S7 since I need top press power to get past the warning, but that only works if no other button is pressed, and I then boot to the system not recovery. I've watched multiple youtube videos and read up nothing seems to work as you need to hold Power and Vol+, yet you can not do this with an unlocked boot loader.

ERIC
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] elliwigy:
You need to hold it through that warning.. so soon as screen goes black press and hold power and vol+ until you see recovery screen.. or u can use adb reboot recovery or if rooted theres apps that can reboot to recovery or even from magisk manager

[General Questions and Answers] Goldk4t:
Hello,

i messed up my samsung account. My old number (which doesnt exist anymore) is still registered to my samsung account as two-factor-auth. Usually i could solve the problem with my personal data, IMEI and serial number, but somehow my birthday is wrong in my account. The support refuses to help me because they only accept the legitimation with name+birthday.

I have activated usb-debugging and oem-unlock and now i want to reinstall android to login in a new samsung account. Now my question:

Is this working? Because the IMEI and serial number are still registered on the old account.

The support said i can go to a samsung service center and pay like 80€ for it. Well the next service center is 400km far away, so i would pay like 300€ for the traveling. Any Ideas for me?

Thanks for reading

I want the always on display to always be on.

I don't want to turn off in my pocket. I would like install s10 AOD. Possible?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Novakingwai:
I've had the phone for about 2 weeks. The battery life is horrible. I leave the phone charging over night and sometimes it stops charging all together. Last night I went to bed with 100% charge. Left phone laying on night stand. Woke up to 70% battery after 8 hours of doing nothing. Mobile network standby used 42% of my battery drain. What is going on with this phone? Should I get a warranty claim replacement?

edit: 11/30 Turning off Adaptive battery and Adaptive charging helped. However, still getting a replacement phone. I get no signal pretty much any where. Thought maybe it was because Tmobile network. After a few days of troubleshooting the phone and getting new sim card and esim, I literally get 1mbps downloads if any connection at all. On Pixel Reddit many others are saying their P6P is getting no data, seems to be a modem issue?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stuff:
Check in the settings if "adaptive charging" is enabled. I believe it is by default.

This feature attempts to sync up your overnight charge with the time you wake up.

If it's miscalculating when you wake up, it might not be charging enough. It should eventually learn when you do wake, assuming it's the same time, etc.

But you can just switch it off completely and allow the phone to charge as it normally would.

As far as mobile network standby goes, I'm not sure. I've noticed in the past this is usually because little to no cell service, so the phone is trying very hard to find a signal (boosting more power to that internal module) and thus draining battery more. Do you have poor service where you sleep?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] therock3181:
Factory reset and when ask to transfer data from another phone. Don't. You may have a rogue app.

I also have a high usage on "Mobile Network Service" but doesn't seem to affect my battery much. My overnights drain on my P6P are 5% max.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ggrant3876:
Battery charging is slow but my P6P has phenomenal battery. Set it up from scratch like I always do with a new phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Guyinlaca:
Battery charging is definitely slower than my Galaxy Note20 Ultra, but I like the adaptive charging at night. If you set an alarm, it will trickle charge and reach 100% just before. This will prolong battery life but I think the standard charge could be a bit faster. 65W like OnePlus probably does more harm than good in the long run but a true 30W shouldn't be an issue.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] imaverik:
the latest update doesnt fix battery drain... update ending 037... although the fingerprint sensor is better
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] prohibido_por_la_ley:
Not another nitpick on the Pixel thread. My battery life is good, nothing lasts forever.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Did you check whether you use adaptive charging?

It's designed to let the phone fully charge ONLY shortly before you wake up (set wakeup timer).

I mean, it never properly worked for me, but maybe it does for you. Lol.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wulfgarfang:
My Battery life is fantastic! I have adaptive battery on. When it's at 💯 it takes about 20 min of hard use to even move from 100 to 99. I have no idea why yours does that but I'm beginning to think these are trolls because so far my p6 pro is a powerhouse. Works amazing. I love this phone. Every other dam post is complaint after complaint. Even crappy phones on other forums don't get this kind of grief. Google probably over hyped the phone and people are annoyed that they had to wait to get one or it's a massive drive by Samsung to tone down the sales of Google.......Too bad Samsung won't just allow bootloader unlock to be easy and painless. Otherwise I wouldn't BE Loving my p6 pro.....
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EeZeEpEe:
As others have pointed out, adaptive charging is supposed to slow the charging down so it hits 100% within the hour of your alarm to wake up. You can actually see it say adaptive charging on the always on display at the bottom of it's engaged. But not hitting 100% isn't what it's supposed to do. What charger are you using with it?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
That's not actually a good thing unless each point takes the same amount of usage. This actually suggests that the battery level is poorly calibrated.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Novakingwai:
You got me. Been a member of XDA since 2013 and I decided to pick 2021 to start trolling.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
People here asked you many questions to find out of it's a user mistake/problem, or if the phone is the rootcause of the issue.

You answered not one single question (as of now).

So it's fair to assume that you are a troll.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Novakingwai:
I'll try turning off adaptive battery and charging. I read some saying the adaptive battery isn't working right even after days of "calibrating." And the adaptive charging is new to me, turning that off also to test for a couple days.

I have tmobile and the entire area from my home to work is covered in 5G. Was working great on my S20+ for a couple days until I got the Pixel 6 Pro. I went to tmobile store yesterday. They gave me a new SIM and checked their system. I'm literally about 1000 feet from a 5G tower. They showed me a calendar supposedly they've been working in the area and having intermittent service issues, doesn't explain why I get no signal all day.

I've factory reset the phone and didn't copy over anything from my old phone, seeing if that will help.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EeZeEpEe:
I'm currently trying out Adaptive Battery off for the next week just to see if there's a noticeable difference. I'll be tracking it with AccuBattery Pro and took a screenshot of my a averages before turning it off.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
I remember talks back in the days when it was introduced (Android Pie, Pixel 3 I think) and already then people claimed to improve their battery life by "turning that **** off" - it would be a bit devastating to know that Google still hasn't fixed that.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EeZeEpEe:
Wow it has been that long since it was first introduced. Time flies. Just on day one right now and I'm already seeing more screen off drain. Will see how every turns out next week.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Return it.

May be a battery failure in progress.

While many Androids can be battery hogs until they sorted out, all should charge normally with a known good brick and cable.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skipabeat123:
Hi. I'm typing this answer form my new P6P as Google decided to replace my old device. I set up my phone from scratch without transfering anything from old device AND THE ISSUE IS STILL THERE. Insanely high network standby battery drain +25% of the whole capacity. This is nuts. The employee told me specifically that I won't have this problem with my new device. I don't know what to do. I think I'll just return it and to for a different phone. Btw my partner has a non-pro P6 and he has exactly the same issue. Our sim cards are vodafone.de. Lost count how many hours I was trying to fix this problem. What a time waster.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stuff:
Good luck, hopefully the factor reset fixes whatever was going haywire. Usually that does help people as a last resort effort

Hello!

I bought xperia ace 2 so-41b (finally compact release!) from japan docomo. Unlocked sim network lock in docomo's web service and sim working ok now. Problem is that 2G and 4G LTE are working fine (even with data) but when i try WCDMA only i get no signal. Here in finland there are many areas with 3G coverage only, so i cannot use phone when because 3G not working.

Finland UMTS uses B1 mainly (2100 MHz) and B8 (900 MHz) in some areas, and ace 2 should support at least UMTS2100 according to specifications. UMTS2100 is available in my area, and working with other phones. Any ideas ?

Hello, XDA!

I'm Steve, and I have referred to information here for years, and am finally joining.

I programmed for a while, mostly in UNIX environments....with dabblings in others.

Now I am keeping an older Dell Inspiron going w/WinXP (having trouble getting the platform-tools's adb to run on it...), while waiting for the newer Purism laptop to be available w/a smaller battery (to get greater storage).

I'm interested not only in Android development, but in getting tons of manufacturer-/provider-mandated crap off of my Android phones (Samsung Galaxy S8 and the step DOWN--memory-wise--to the S21...argh). Trying to move my S8 info to the S21, running into problems on both ends which would be fixed quite neatly by going back in time and making some different choices; you don't happen to have "an app for that"? ;-)

[ASUS ZenFone 8] Hesselberg:
Help everybody,

I've bought the phone 3 days ago. Battery life is very bad, getting around 3 hrs SOT using Spotify, Facebook, Reddit and Instagram. Mobile data is always on, Bluetooth was on for 2 hours

Is there any way to improve battery life?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Blumi511:
Are you using the recent updates, including .56?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Hesselberg:
Using .46 rn
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Blumi511:
Ne Firmware should make things even better
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
I would try recalibrating the battery, I have found that it lasts very long after hitting 1%, and others have also found that the phone continues charging for a bit after hitting 100% (even with the LED being green). So completely drain the phone, let it charge to 100% and when it hits 100%, give it like half an hour more.

Also, disabling 5G in the Network settings should help. If you are underground (with bad cell signal), I would suggest you enable Airplane mode and then enable Wifi. This will prevent the phone from constantly searching for a better cell signal. Doing this helped me reduce idle drain.

Last night with a few videos + today, I got a total of 3h40 at 120hz durable mode (Charge limit to 90% and the phone is still at 15% battery left).
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Hesselberg:
Can you send link to 56 please? I can't find it
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Hesselberg:
I'll try it. Thanks
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Blumi511:
I got it via OTA.

Also you probably need to set up other (was tired yesterday evening):

dynamic mode

5g off

90 Hz Display (I don't really see the difference between 90/120)

Wifi, BT, location always on

I get around 7 h of SOT fully charged and 5 hours brings me from bed to bed.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Fibon@cci:
Yeah 5g off makes a lot of difference to me. I also use Naptime.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Kemez:
I see a big change with location off. Just put it on qith quick toggle when needed. The standby is much much better with just this change for me. I have 5G because my plan doesn't allow it either way.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] adam.718:
As others said, it's about 5-6 SoT, normal use on its stock Asus Android OS.

After installing LineageOS on now I got 8+ SoT.

Due to the clean LineageOS, 60Hz screen refreah rate, battery saver always on, no google spying services installed, 100% google free,no blotware, no whatsapp no facebook...

Phone now lasts me comfortably a full day of work (sometimes day and half).

I use it for work not as my playstation.

I'm super happy.

Btw, your post is duplicate with other post, That post has other feedbacks that may help you, better to stick to that post.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Lisa84:
Hey everybody,

during the process of trying to install Lineageos on my A3 A320FL, I probably broke the phone.

If it helps, I followed the installation description here --> https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/a3xelte/install

It's still possible to get into the download mode (Vol down + Home + Power) and to hard restart (Vol down + Power ~7sek) and the phone can be recognized by Odin. Odin even can successfully install the twrp.

So - i hope - it's not entirely dead.

However, shutting down (Vol up + Home) and recovery mode (Vol up + Home + Power) won't work anymore.

Also after restarting the phone (Vol down + Power ~7sek) and after the restart during the installation of twrp via Odin, the phone screen shows the initial "Samsung Galaxy A3 powered by android" but remains in this status.

Are there any ideas/suggestions how to get it running again? E.g. installing firmware or RootFiles (https://www.hardreset.info/samsung-root-files/) [found in another thread here] or ...

For you to get some more context: This is my first try to install a custom ROM on a mobile device, so I have absolutly no clue about the topic - or better - what are the next possible steps. But I'm somehow familiar with programming. So I will hopefully understand your answers.

I searched for some hours, but it seems the problem wasn't tackled before... at least for A3. Oh and I really don't care about data rocoveries or so, since on this phone there is nothing.

Thanks in advance for any help/hints/ideas :)

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] electric fish:
Hello.

I want to install a custom ROM on my phone.

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro, and I would like to move away from the stock firmware do to privacy concerns.

I have never seen a phone where you have to accept a licence agreement for a calendar app.

Anyway, I have never installed a custom ROM on my phone, and would like to start. The only thing that is stopping me is the fact that I have no idea where to start or what to do...

So, here I am.

Can you people link me to some good tutorials?

I want to backup the current firmware I have (including recovery) to return it when selling the phone or giving it to someone...

And I would like to know how to flash different roms and recoveries.

Thanks in advance.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] parkourz:

Have you searched that forum before asking?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] electric fish:

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Kirasu2080:
1/You dont need to backup your firmware, when you want to sell, just flash any firmware and lock bootloader if you want. But you need to remember your Mi Account Password.

2/Some you need:

-Unlock bootloader

-Flash correct firmware of custom rom you want

-Custom recovery

-Flash rom in Twrp with Guide (Read in rom post)

You can collect some information in Xda group. You can also join Telegram Group which have enough guide (some can lead you here and some not) and new roms.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] electric fish:
Thank you. Let's hope I won't brick my device hehe. By the way, I'm running Linux on my PC, does Xiaomi have an unlock tool for Linux?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Kirasu2080:
Unlock official tool maybe doesn't work with Linux and you will need to wait 168h for unlock.

Unlock unofficial tool (mtkclient) can work with Linux and instant but sometimes increase more bug chance (which can fix as i know). And mess with it if you dont know anything can make terrible thing. Just check unlock part, dont mess with other

And we have unbrick hardbrick method. If you don't do crazy thing, then you will be fine.

After unlock and flash twrp, backup your Imei first. That will help you if you make some unknown mistake later.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] electric fish:
About the IMEI backup, is that only the number, or a file I need to back up?

I also want to make a backup of my original stock recovery and ROM, is it possible?

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] MasK:
Hello guys!

I've been on the first Galaxy watch for over 3 years and recently got the Watch4 classic. 1 main issue I notice is when there's an incoming notification (regardless you set it to open or not), as long as its seen on your watch, if you do not swipe it away, it stays there and your watch face turns into a simple one with blurred background. It stays there for about 20secs before it switches over to your proper watchface.

Why does it do this? The previous tizen didn't work this way. Is there a way to remove this or shorten this timeout?

I hope ya guys understand what I'm referring to. Thanks for reading :)

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] GreySails:
When my bluetooth earphones are connected, every phone sound (calls, ringtones, etc.) comes out of the speakers, too - as in, I hear the sound in my earphones, and it's coming out of the phone's speakers at the same time. The only time it doesn't happen is when I'm listening to Spotify. My partner has a Pixel 6 and has the same issue.

I've cheked bluetooth settings and everything that should be checked is checked. It's really frustrating and I can't figure out if it's by design or if I need new earphones (even though I don't have this issue with these earphones and any of my other devices) or WTF else is going on

Any ideas?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ltlwng:
My Galaxy buds pair with no problem and appear to be playing but there is no sound. They work great with other devices and have worked on e before with my Pixel 6 Pro. Very frustrating. Rebooted, forgot and reconnected, and even reset the earbuds. Still nothing.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Did you find a solution yet?

That's an odd problem, and not a common one for sure.

What kind of bluetooth earphones are you using?

Did you reboot your device?

Did you try out a safemode to see if a third-party app causes your problem?

-> Especially since your partners phone also has this problem, maybe you use the same third-party app causing this?

You could also try to reset/clear cache/storage the basic Google processes running to see if they have a hang up.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] GreySails:
Nope, no solution. I've done everything you mentioned and nothing has worked. I've also tried different bluetooth earbuds, just in case, and no joy. I know some manufacturers choose for "phone" sounds to play toghether with connected buds, but I take it from your reply that it's not the case with the Pixel 6 Pro so I'm just baffled by this.

For now my way around this issue is to put the phone on silent or vibrate while connecte to bluetooth, but it's clearly not a solution.
