[Touch HD General] fasty:
I've had a chance to play with the Touch HD running Tomtom 7 on a journey.

The car had an athermic windscreen (which can "challenge" some GPS units because it reduces the signal level due to the invisible metallic coating.)

I'm only used to using SIRFstar III based receivers so that it what I judge it against.

The HD got a fix in seconds despite the windscreen coating, but there was some lag. Not enough to make it unusable, but apparently more than the SIRF receiver. As an example, when driving fairly slowly in town, the final spoken annoucement to make a turn was given more or less at the point of turn rather than a few metres ahead.

I'd say that the lag was only a few metres in terms of distance error.

I also noticed that the signal strength bars on Tomtom jump up and down a lot more than I am used to with the SIRF receiver, which seems to "hold" each satellite more consistently under varying conditions.

I suspect that the "lag" is due to "filtering" of the GPS position in the Qualcomm firmware. The actual (raw) position calculated by the GPS probably flaps around horribly so would have to be "averaged" over a short period of time to improve the perceived accuracy. This averaging over time would inevitably result in a small time lag to report the processed results to the PDA software. This suggests a design trade-off : Reduction in lag would result in more random variation of the reported position.

Overall, the HD "could be better", but it still seems quite suitable for most practical purposes.

[Touch HD General] speed200:
Actually I´ve got a Touch Pro and I am very unhappy with the GPS because the long time to got a fix and with the "lag" of it.

Would you sell the TP to buy the HD?

Could we expect that HTC can resolved all this issues?
[Touch HD General] chinobis:
I can confirm that the touch hd gps is rougly on par with a sirfstarIII based one.

The lag (doesnt bother me) is minimal inside an urban enviroment, and unoticeable in the open. It also depends heavily on the program used, my experience is that destinator for instance is a bit "laggier" than igo8 and other apps.

Sometimes it fixes a signal within 30secs from hot-boot and a couple of times up to 2 minutes. Generally it seems to hold on to a weakened signal (e.g inside a building or a tunnel) better that the ssIII units i've tested. Next week i will test the hd tethered to a bluetooth ssIII receiver...i will post my findings here.

On a weekend trip to the mountains it performed absolutely flawlessly. But now i have to dwelve deeper into the mysteries of off-road gps use :)

Hello

I searched and searched for pixelexperience rom for SM-A21 almost everywhere in the universe, but found nowhere.

How to find the rom and install it?
[Samsung Galaxy A21s Questions & Answers] oli231:
for this time no
[Samsung Galaxy A21s Questions & Answers] beginner148:
no twrp yet.
[Samsung Galaxy A21s Questions & Answers] oli231:
TWRP is ready but this is version BETA
[Samsung Galaxy A21s Questions & Answers] beginner148:
this phone has fbe enabled by default, you can never expect an official twrp or even an unofficial one without a custom kernel which some may consider bad for security which is bollocks because you can never get the best of both worlds we aren't in 2200.
[G1 General] bacardiboi:
quick poll for all g1 kids

did you order brown or black??

i only had the option of brown when i ordered, but seeing the black ones, im glad i got brown. it matches my lighter perfectly LOL
[G1 General] RussianSolja:
black all the way! white will get dirty all the time and you will have to clean it all the time... and the brown one looks like poop. LOL!
[G1 General] bacardiboi:
thats where ur wrong my friend brown is teh hawtness!!i love that the keypad is silver
[G1 General] speoples20:
I really wanted black but I ordered brown since it was the only one available to me. I got it yesterday and I'm glad I got brown. Its sexy looking.
[G1 General] elsucio03:
I ordered the black one. Can't wait til it comes!
[G1 General] benjimen:
Is it that same coppery-brownish color of the T-Mobile Shadow? I had one of those, that was a nice color...
[G1 General] Dirtay:
g1 is a g1

im on an employee acct and in order to receive one early brown was the only color available, however it doesnt look to bad its a dark brown cant really tell until you get up close
[G1 General] hellbringer626:
bronze(brown) definitely has an appealing color and now i'm wondering if i should have ordered black.....I want a side by side comparison of all 3 colors
[G1 General] Ryanmo5:
I have a black toothbrush, does that give it away? lol
[G1 General] jdoggraz:
Haha black all the way... looks much cleaner...
[G1 General] Ryanmo5:
Yeah it does and hides the blemishes on phone better :D:D:D
[G1 General] punkzanyj:
If I have the option, I only get two kinds of devices: Black or Silver.

Bronze/brown doesn't sound good to me, and white always looks like it was made by Fisher-Price. I choose black because:

-It doesn't show dirt as easily

-It goes with everything, black never goes out of style, while other colors do.

-It doesn't draw attention to itself

-It's easy on the eyes

-Black doesn't fade or start to yellow over time
[G1 General] xavier6303:
I was an employee upgrade so I only had brown to choose from..I wanted black but the brown actually looks great. Mine comes this thursday and I cant wait!
[G1 General] pseudoproto:
Hate brown, went for black!
[G1 General] cali50ex:
Black, brown is hard to see the.keypad!!
[G1 General] sonikamd:
LOL! talk about a bump.. way to resurrect a thread that's over a year old!! gj

I totally agree tho. originally got brown on release date last year... within 14 days it was put into paper weight mode lol. returned it for the black one and have been happier ever since..
[G1 General] cali50ex:
What's a bum?

[General Questions and Answers] Futurama144:
HOW, in detail, step by step, can I take stock firmware in the Samsung 4 file format tar.md5, and somehow, with minimal extra steps, create a flashable zip file with it?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
If you're on a Windows computer, use 7Zip tool to untar & zip an archive

More info here:

https://allthings.how/how-to-use-7-zip-in-windows-11/

BTW:

You can untar a .TAR via Windows command prompt, too:

tar -xf <TAR-FILE>
[General Questions and Answers] Futurama144:
So it is that easy? No special hand coded files to direct things or anything like that? So when people say a "flashable zip", it's no different internally than the tarballs are? Just decompress one and compress into the other? I had a suspicion it might be that way, but everyone has been so cryptic with other users, and just refusing to answer, I thought it must be more complicated than that. Thank you very much for the straight answer, I am very grateful.

So i state this as overtly as possible for posterity: nothing signifies a flashable zip as different than an ordinary zip other than the contents, which are identical to the contents of a tar archive. Easy.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p3rsp3ct1ve:
I have a problem with recent update. It came at night and in the morning I saw a message that "Something went wrong. To finish updating restart your device". I don't know what exactly "went wrong" but reboots do nothing, I tried more than ten times. What can I do in this situation? Maybe there's a way to remove OTA files and let the phone get it one more time? Or should I install it manually? Will I get future OTA updates this way?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If you haven't solved this already (I would hope you have), your best bet would likely be the

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p3rsp3ct1ve:

If you want to connect your phone by usb or bluetooth then the 'Internet Sharing' app on your phone should do it easily. If you want to use wifi then use wmwifirouter.
[Huawei Watch GT 3] tenchi40:
When I bought the watch I was under the impression that it can reply or at least quick reply to social media messages and not just SMS. I see that there is an app that enables the functionality for Telegram, but I need it for Messenger, Viber and Slack.

Does anyone have an app or workaround or should I switch to a Watch 3? (Can that device do this reliably?)
[Huawei Watch GT 3] tenchi40:
So to answer my question. I was planning to make Plus Messenger work on my watch, but the Plus Messenger phone app couldn't connect to Huawei Health. I reported that to the developer.

The other plan was to somehow channel Messenger and Viber messages into Telegram in both directions maybe with sameroom.io so I could at least quick answer messages on the watch.

All in all I decided to upgrade to a Watch 3 Pro...
[Huawei Watch GT 3] doggydog2:
What did you gain by switching? I do have them, but i am pretty unhappy with notifications. Can't reply to anything, notifications are one big chaos. Dismissed on watch doesn't mean dismissed on the phone. Emojis are not show first, only later when you browse notifications manually in a pool of equally looking threads with same frikking application icons.

I realized you can answer only to SMS, Telegram, Whatsup, Messenger. That's not enough, i don't use any, i need universal notification processing like Garmin. It also won't react at all to phone alarms, or messenger calls.
[Huawei Watch GT 3] tenchi40:
I did upgrade to the Watch 3 Pro and started making watch faces. Check them out on https://celest-watches.com

While I truly love the way the Watch 3 Pro looks and the great battery life, the OS leaves a lot to desire. I wasn't at all satesfied with the notifications and replies and had some strange bug: I walk to my job every day and of course I'm tracing it with the walking training program. Unfortunately every few minutes the watch buzzed, but there was not notification or any other rational explanation why.

As I wanted to expand my watch faces to Wear Os, I switched to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and I'm truly satisfied with the OS there. Not so much with the battery life as I have to charge it every morning....
[Huawei Watch GT 3] doggydog2:
nice job. Thanks for the useful feedback. I continue to search, i just won't be charging every day that's for sure. might try Ticwatch Pro or Venu2 Plus.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] Lyves:
My phone went to an endless bootloop after a botched attempt to install TWRP. I tried hard pressing the power button to no avail, and I can't access fastboot either. That's why I removed the back cover and disconnected the flex cable from the battery on the phone's motherboard.

Later on, I reconnected my phone's battery after my shift ended, then I tried to flash my stock rom through SP Flash Tool + bypass tool python script and it went through with a success. However, this time, my screen seems to be completely dead but my phone is still showing some signs of life (short vibration when pressing the power button, but since then it seems that it takes a few seconds more from pressing the power button to turn it on. ) I reconnected and disconnected everything to see whether or not I missed out something but the issue still persists.

The computer reads the device as "Android ADB interface" and the adb console reads it as *device id* unauthorized when I ran adb devices command. There's no notification light whenever I plug it into the charger.

Is my screen dead, or is my motherboard toast? I need to know as I don't want to spend money to buy a replacement LCD only to know that the motherboard's dead. I don't really care about the IMEI as I'm just going to use it as an authorization device for work. I can just always connect to Wi-Fi. Please advise.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] Lyves:
One problem after another, so it seems.

Turns out I already unbricked the phone, but the thing is that my display's backlight got busted for some reason. Unless I shine a flashlight through it, I won't know what's in the screen. I'm currently on the way to get a replacement screen, and a new battery cover.

I guess this will be the last Xiaomi device that I'll ever get. This is the only time that I experienced such flimsy build quality since the LG G4.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] -CALIBAN666-:
Maybe you have destroyed a lil cable or something.

Strange screen behavior on new watch.

I have been the owner of the Watch 4 44mm since yesterday. Every now and then strange things happen on the screen.

The screen moves by itself, it touches without my intervention.

Do you think that only giving me a guarantee saves me?

It happens on the watch I took out of the box a few hours ago, so I had no contact with anything;)

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Juned S:
I had same issue with my GW2 and since it was after an year I started to see the problem could not return the watch...had even contacted Samsung for service but then thought will check on my own as I had nothing to lose...removed the back and some components and I cleaned the watch I felt some very fine dust particle could cause this. since then I did not see the issue. I own GW4 classic now.

Hi

I have magisk installed but my phone is reporting not rooted.

My setup:

Xiaomi Redmi Note 7

Ressurection remix

Magisk 23.0

Things I've tried:

Disabled battery optimisation for magisk app

Reinstalled magisk a couple of times from twrp

Other root requiring apps (no change)

I've attached the logs from Root Checker, magisk and snip of my magisk. Please let me know if there is more info I can provide.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I just downloaded this and flashed it with twrp: https://magisk.me/

Rebooted and found the same issue. Any other ideas?

1 - Don't use that website. The only place for verified and safe Magisk downloads is on John's Github:

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk

2 - Exactly what is it that's reporting that your device isn't rooted? Because Magisk quite clearly says it is, according to your screenshot...
[Magisk] arahknxs:
Hi

Thanks for the reply.

Okay so I went to Git and downloaded this file https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v23.0/Magisk-v23.0.apk I then renamed it to .zip and flashed it via TWRP. Is this correct?

When I reboot I find the same situation. Magisk appears installed correctly however no app can access root. No popup appears to accept/reject the su request and apps behave as if no root access. I've tried Root Checker, Titanium Backup and am happy to try any others.

Do you have any suggestions please on what else I can try?

Cheers

ara
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Ah... So the problem is not that you do not have root access The problem is that there's no superuser prompt when an app requests root.

IIRC there's a Xiaomi settings to allow apps to display popup messages (should be under app permissions). The Magisk app also need to be allowed to auto start. Of course, this is for MIUI and you're using RR so I have no idea if there is such a setting on your device currently...

Could of course be something completely different though.
[Magisk] arahknxs:
Yes I suspect this is the issue - the notification is being blocked somehow.

Under app settings -> Magisk, I believe the settings are right:

Battery optimisation = off

Notifications = all allowed

There are plenty of guides out there of using RR with Magisk and no mention of any special settings to make it work.

I am also using nova launcher, I wonder if this could affect the notification somehow?

All suggestions welcome!

Cheers

ara
[Magisk] arahknxs:
I noticed in Magisk under the Superuser tab, it just says "no app has asked for superuser permission yet." So perhaps not a notification issue after all?

I downloaded another app, "root checker basic". It also generated no popup, said I do not have root, and nothing appeared in the Magisk logs.

I feel like I am doing something wrong here but missing what it is.

Cheers

ara
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
One thought: make sure that nothing is restricting the Magisk app from autostarting and running in the background.

Also, have you checked with other users of your ROM? Might be a good place to get help for stuff like this...
[Magisk] dsiva:
This happened to me before. I had to rename the same zip to "uninstall.zip" and flash it, reboot, and then rename the zip to something else like Magisk.zip and flash again.
[Magisk] arahknxs:
Thanks for the suggestion, I tried this but no change afterwards unfortunately.

Also good idea @Didgeridoohan, I will cross post this on the forum for RR.

otg works (usb-keyboard-mouse-gamepad)

i hope other devs help me to stabilize this rom

go to settings>about phone>press on build number until u see the dev options unlocked > go back>system>developer options >scroll down : enable android debugging then scroll down and enable local terminal

open terminal app and type props

u will see menu
