I'm very glad to hear you have had great experiences with a OP6 but a quick Google will bring up millions of results from people with an overheating phone (regardless of brand & including OnePlus) when shooting 4K, this isnt something specific to the Pixel 6.

I'm reading about LoD (Linux on DeX) and i wanted to use it but from what i find online it is discontinued, files don't work on android 11 and there is only the andronix with termux and bVNC or VNC or XSDL or something to play with it.

DeX works as expected, the phone delivers, i would like to know if i can have an optimized version of linux on my S21 ultra, i'd like to know that it can work and not run 2-3 commands each time to make it work.

Usage case, vscode, browsing, docker
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] daniel_loft:
Try Andronix, see if it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] SomniusX:
As i mentioned, there are viable solutions

the thing is, i'd like something near native, like LoD was, cause i really want to replace e.g. a chromebook.

i've got screens everyplace i go, and i also have DeX software installed, i can even work without cables.

i'd like to have LoD experience!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] daniel_loft:
Then your only option is to get a phone that still has LoD active (an S9 or S10, I don't remember, that was never updated beyond Android 9).
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] SomniusX:
Thank you for the suggestion, i won't trade my brand new S21 Ultra for a lesser Samsung device.. :-/
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] goofwear:
And we get somebody here on XDA to mod the LOD app to bypass the Android version.

I have used Andronix and it is okay. It's not the same. Besides getting the app off of APK mirror you can go to archive.org to download the Ubuntu from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] SomniusX:
I already did gather all the original and forked apk, and the images.. but still haven't had the time to get my hands on my S21u, left it at the office yesterday cause i've got a f*** load of data to transfer (about 210gb) from my Oneplus 7 to it.

I'll report my findings and/or results soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] goofwear:
Thanks I appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] noha.ibraheem:
If you are still searching, maybe you'll be interested in a new solution, NOMone Desktop, which similar to Termux but with improved performance as is doesn't depend on VNC.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Treacletin:
Hey, everybody. First post. I need some serious help. I've been rooting and modding for years, but I don't know everything, so please don't assume that I do. Right, my Exynos G973F is rooted with Thunderstorm Kernel, and has TWRP installed. The phone functions perfectly and all of my apps pass root detection. However, if I restart the phone, it gets to the point where all my icons load and I can use the phone, then it suddenly goes back to the Samsung logo. The case used to be that if I left it long enough, it wouldn't continue to bootloop, but recently I'm having to restore TWRP images just to use my phone. I've done a factory reset, and tried to do the same thing with a custom kernel, but it will not pass safetynet. I've got Riru installed, LSExposed, safetynet patch 2.2.0 and Magisk Hide patch, with a different fingerprint set, and it absolutely won't pass cts. So, starting from scratch is not an option, because I've tried everything. How can I figure out what's making it bootloop? As I've said, the phone is perfect, other than this. It's really bizarre. Hope someone can help! Thanks in advance!

Dear Gentlemen,

I found some strange Outlook Mail behaviour. While setting an automatic refresh (i.e.15 min) from a POP mail server, after the manual refresh, it does not reconnect to the site (the automatic refresh just stops working).

What could be the problem? Only Hard Reset could help??? Maybe, there is a *.cab file, that could fix it?

Thank you in advance for your kind help.

Hi everyone,

I decided to buy a nice TV in my son's room. Unfortunately I'm not very good at technology and for this reason I decided to inquire here. My son would probably play movies and games on it. Because he owns a PS5 console. Guys, do you think I should buy him a big screen TV?

Ciao a tutti,

Ho deciso di comprare un bel televisore nella stanza di mio figlio. Purtroppo non sono molto bravo in tecnologia e per questo motivo ho deciso di informarmi qui. Mio figlio probabilmente ci giocherebbe film e giochi. Perché possiede una console PS5. Ragazzi, pensate che dovrei comprargli una TV a grande schermo?
[Off-topic] tonny_j:
You forgot to tell us a very important point and that is how big your child's room is. The larger the room, the larger the television needs to be. And here I mean the diagonal of the television screen. To get a quick idea, you should convert inches to centimeters. 1 inch is 2.54 centimeters. To determine the correct distance you can use the formula "screen diagonal x 3.5" for SD devices and thus obtain the ideal distance between the seats. You need to pay attention to the following. The larger a TV screen, the more important its high refresh rate ... 60Hz is really a nuisance when gaming, which is why it is very important to select a model with native 120Hz.

Buying any television would be nonsense. Unfortunately, the selection of truly gaming-friendly TVs today is very small. There are special tests for this, which you should definitely see before deciding to buy a good TV. All the necessary information about television, its dimensions and much more, you can simply look at this page https://tuttodigitale.net/quanto-e-grande-un-televisore-da-65-pollici-trova-la-taglia-giusta /;

Hai dimenticato di dirci un punto molto importante e cioè quanto è grande la stanza di tuo figlio. Più grande è la stanza, più grande deve essere la televisione. E qui intendo la diagonale dello schermo televisivo. Per avere un'idea veloce, dovresti convertire i pollici in centimetri. 1 pollice è 2,54 centimetri. Per determinare la distanza corretta è possibile utilizzare la formula "diagonale schermo x 3,5" per i dispositivi SD e quindi ottenere la distanza ideale tra i sedili. Devi prestare attenzione a quanto segue. Più grande è lo schermo di un televisore, più importante è la sua alta frequenza di aggiornamento... 60 Hz è davvero una seccatura quando si gioca, per questo motivo è molto importante selezionare un modello con 120 Hz nativi.

L'acquisto di qualsiasi televisione sarebbe una sciocchezza. Sfortunatamente, oggi la selezione di televisori davvero adatti al gioco è molto ridotta. Esistono test speciali per questo, che dovresti assolutamente vedere prima di decidere di acquistare un buon televisore. Tutte le informazioni necessarie sulla televisione, le sue dimensioni e molto altro, puoi semplicemente guardare questa pagina https://tuttodigitale.net/quanto-e-grande-un-televisore-da-65-pollici-trova-la-taglia-giusta/;

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
You can't be having two OS unless you have dual boot. I think that you are saying that you have OOS 9.0.17 which is based on Android 9. Presuming that you have only one OS, update it (whichever it is).
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Brettroth:
If you update the newest oos that will bring you to android 11 theres only one update to do there. If you still want root you'll have to re-root it with magisk then.

I'd published a review of PDAir's cradle for HTC Diamond. Here is the link to it.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Wilsas:
I think its the same as this one http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110299601270 only thisone is much cheaper only 15,80$ US

I had that cradle for my Artemis, obviously with a different insert, and that blue light is bloody annoying!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] kdskamal:
He he. :) My friends find it cool instead! May be it is a matter of time that I will also start finding it annoying
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] stunno:
I have some of the black electricians tape left that I used to cover it over. PM me when you need it ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] marklyn:
But does this cradle work for the Sprint Diamond CDMA or GSM style phone???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Wilsas:
What reason do you have to think it would n 't?

Diamond is Diamond and the connections are all the same.

Willem
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] marklyn:
Probably because I've already ordered a "Diamond Cradle" from one online company (Daydeal) and had to return it because the USB connector was

1) in the opposite direction and

2) located about 2.5 cm closer to the backplate

Daydeal has since revised that particular listing as GSM.

That's why.

Hey all,

I bought my flip the day it came out and have developed some cracking and peeling on the crease of the screen. Is this something I can easily fix with a new screen protector or is this something I need to call Samsung for and use the warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] D4rk4:
Wowsers, may I ask how that happened? I'd get onto Samsung. That's what the warranty is for after all! 👍😎👍
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] darkraiderfan:
This is just normal use. I don't do anything crazy. I have a desk job. It just started cracking one day and keeps getting progressively worse.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] babaorum1973:
Hi i had the same problem. i saw a crack in the protector horizontaly in the crease right side 2 weeks ago(i bought zflip 3 on end of august) with a gray reflect on White color of the screen.

I decided to remove the protector (you tube vidéo helps to it and furthermore in the french stores all Zflip 3 demo units had no protector on it like flip 1). I bought an hydrogel protector taylor cutted by machine.

The bad big surprise is that the Samsung original protector is not an hydrogel one but a simple sticker like S20 models !! It's a shame for a foldable and the risj to damage the screen is high.

Now i have my z flip 3 with hydrogel that i managed to put myself because the vendor was not sure..... The feeling is better, feels stronger and i love typing text on it after.

I have 2 micro bubbles left but it's far better than to have a cut in the plastic.

My p6p will not pick up my TVs built in wireless display or even my Roku, do pixel phones only detect chrome casts? My Samsung is able to pick it all up weird.

All the playstore apps I have tried don't work either
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No luck here either. I have a 2020 LG CX TV. I assume it might work with any brand that uses Android TV (or an addon Android TV, similar to Chromecast). I've successfully used apps such as AirDroid to mirror to my computer, which is also hooked up to my TV. They have several related apps, several of which might do what you need. https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=SAND+STUDIO&hl=en

In the past, I've also successfully used TeamViewer - again to mirror on the computer. You have to do it locally over Wi-Fi, though, remote via mobile data didn't work for me on any phone.

View attachment 5490427
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
Some non-Android TVs do accept Google-style casting or allow the YouTube app to act as a middle man for content-specific casting. I know my LG webOS one allows the latter. BubbleUPnP and LocalCast are similar in that regard.

But mirroring? That's harder with a Pixel.

I remember in the past there were Magisk modules to enable the checkbox for Miracast, but it doesn't actually work or can even cause bootloops.
[FYT Android Head Units] watson540:
No, not wifi. Apparently I can't do auto wifi tethering in Android 11 (my phone) without root on the phone.

I don't want to have to manually enable hotspot every time I get in the car.

Has anyone figured out a way to get the USB or Bluetooth tethering to work on these units?

My phone says USB tethering enabled. I get the notification in the window shade, but nothing on the unit.
[FYT Android Head Units] mastrv:
What kind of phone? On my Samsung, I use the Bixby stuff which is like Tasker and Macrodroid. It's built-in so I tried it and works well enough. I have a routine that turns on my Wifi hotspot automatically when the phone connects to my car head unit through Bluetooth. The hotspot automatically shuts of when there have been no device connected for a certain amount of time. I think that's an Android setting.

In another thread, it was suggested that this app was working fine and stable:

Bluetooth Tethering Manager - Apps on Google Play

Sharing the internet connection's never been so easy.

play.google.com

That was for a different head unit. Give it a try and let us know how it works.
[FYT Android Head Units] watson540:
Maybe I'm overthinking it then. The hotspot option seems to work on my phone fairly well. I set it to never timeout . Only connect to my cars MAC address.

However when I connect to wifi it turns the hotspot off. So I have to manually re-enable it.

I tried using macrodroid once before to turn hotspot on when Bluetooth connects, but it doesn't seem compatible with Android 11's security setup.. Without root and tasker.

The Bluetooth tether sort of worked initially. Once I got to driving, it kept cutting off and then eventually stopped giving the HU access at all, even though both servers were running on the phone and unit.

The other Bluetooth tether I've tried didn't work at all
[FYT Android Head Units] mastrv:
@watson540 When I'm modifying the Bixby routine for turning on my phone's hotspot, it doesn't let me do anything with the wifi connection. It thinks they're related somehow and that wifi should be off when the hotspot is on. In any case, I have wifi off on my phone when my head unit is connected to my phone's hotspot. All works fine.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
That is default Android (look on Android developer). On a hotspot you create a WiFi hotspot and share via mobile data. That is why you can't use WiFi at the same time.

There are very few phones that really can share the WiFi itself. As such this is logical. If there is WiFi, why can't the other phone connect to that WiFi?

It is designed for places where there is no WiFi, but where at least one phone has mobile data which it can share.

That it works differently on Linux, MacOS, ChromeOS and Windows is something else. These devices mostly don't have mobile data at all as they are not phones.
[FYT Android Head Units] watson540:
Yes. A phone only has one wifi chip. It can use it to be a client or a server, but not both at once.

That's why enabling hotspot turns wifi off. Enabling wifi turns hotspot off.

The challenge is.. In Android 11 (without Bixby)... How to enable hotspot through some app. Macrodroid can't do it. The app where you create "flows" isn't capable either. I THINK tasker would do it, but only with root from what I previously read. I can't get root because my bootloader is locked.

That's why I was shooting for Bluetooth or USB tether.

It's frustrating because Bluetooth tether in a baked in option in Android 11,as is USB tether.. But the head unit doesn't recognize it or use it.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Since 4-5 months I have Samsung A52 on Android 11. Macrodroid just works fine with enabling the hotspot when my phone connects to the head unit on bluetooth. No root necessary. Thanks to the mentioning about Bixby a few days ago, I am now doing it with Bixby Routines, using an old unit on the bench as I am still waiting for my new unit for my "new" car.

With regard to bluetooth tethering to this unit. Already in 2015 lbdroid (who goes under at least 5 synonyms) wrote his blutoothTethering apks. It works with installing the app on your phone AND on the unit. See his github and his blogpost. I have used it on my first and second unit, and purely out of laziness I simply used WiFi tethering on my 3rd and 4th unit.

(And yes, blutooth is spelled correct when I refer to his apk).
[FYT Android Head Units] watson540:
Okay, so I got USB tethering to work and it's beautiful- but bittersweet...

It ONLY works if you reboot the head unit with the USB cable already plugged in. Once you take the cable out, it won't come back if you plug back in. Only with a reboot does it work

@surfer63 - you're the guru around here. How can a trigger be made to enable this on a plug-in of USB?, Or maybe a constant poll every thirty seconds?
[FYT Android Head Units] mastrv:
I agree. I believed that it was supposed to work this way where WiFi can't be used while the hotspot is active. However, on my Samsung A51, I can have WiFi and/or mobile data active at the same time as my hotspot. I turn off mobile data and while my phone is connected to my home router through WiFi, I can create a WiFi hotspot. When I've done this, I can still access the internet and my home network from my phone. I have to connect to my 2.4MHz band in order for it to work as a hotspot on my head unit. If I'm connected to the 5MHz band, my phone shows a warning that some clients, that don't support 5MHz, may not be able to connect to the hotspot.

Having the WiFi active while the hotspot is active only causes an issue for me when I'm connected to my home access point. I have a VPN server running on my home router/network. When I VPN from my phone to my home with the WiFi on, I can't access the internet or my home network. I think the routing gets all messed up. In any case, it's not an issue for me...any longer.

I was trying to set up my head unit to access the internet and my home network through the VPN on my phone. I found out that when you use a hot spot (in Android), you cannot access the VPN and the data does not go through the VPN on the hotspot. I don't know why...it may be an Android or a network thing. So, I set up a VPN client on the head unit instead and it connects to my home network fine through the phone hot spot. Now, I just have to figure out how to automatically set up the VPN client on the head unit to automatically connect when it is started and possibly exclude some apps so that the data for those don't go through the VPN.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I never looked into lbroid's code for this blutooth apk, but I suppose it should be possible to add some code to check on the "USB device connected" event, and use that to initialize again. (It would of course also require the request for authorization for that USB event).

Or as a workaround: try it from the other side. Install MacroDroid on your unit. Check if a USB device gets connected and at the same time you have BT connection with your phone, and then start the apk on your unit.

Edit: This might require to first stop the app (if running), pause for a few seconds, and then start the app.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Sorry. You put me totally on the wrong track.

I simply overlooked you were taliking about USB-tethering. The previous posts were about Bluetooth tetering.

So my answer might still be interesting for those who want Bluetooth tetering: See also my github where I rebuilt lbdroid's version (nov 2019) with an apk in the releases section.

Nothing creative. Just a copy with an extended readme.
[FYT Android Head Units] watson540:
I'll take either/or

It appears that my phone doesn't start USB tethering until I unlock it anyway. So it may HAVE to be Bluetooth... which is fine

I did try macrodroid on the HU to try and trigger the USB tether action.

I looked into the logcat and saw some tethering events going on when I plugged the cable in. They get shut down for whatever reason.

I was able to bring the usb0 interface up with a simple ifconfig command in terminal, but no way to assign it an ip and routing (dhcpcd or dhclient) -- Android is just so far removed from Linux anymore, it's all handled in JAVA now, so I can't just write a shell script

I'll look into the Bluetooth method again
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I mentioned that I had not looked at lbdroid's blutooth apk, but obviously I have. I simply completely forgot about it. Time flies and so do my memories.
[FYT Android Head Units] watson540:
It looks promising. Doesn't work on this unit though.

I assume it's because fyt 7862 actually has 2 Bluetooth chips, and the first one is disabled. I guess it's spotty? I reckon the app is trying to attach to the primary Bluetooth, which is disabled through the rom?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I don't know. At this moment I do not have a uis7862 and can't examine it.
[FYT Android Head Units] watson540:
Looks like this app was built for a previous version of Android

BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();

getDefaultAdapter has been deprecated since jellybean. I'd plug in the appropriate call, but I'm assuming that would just be the beginning of a whole host of other things to rewrite as well.

I'm not that dedicated 😕
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
It was built for Android 5/6.

Since Android 7 and 8, many things have changed. In the access rights area, in the "run as a service" area, etcetera. It might require a complete rewrite.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Why do you think that?

In all the specs I can find it has only one BT chip being the Realtek 8761BTV (but again: only from theory).
[FYT Android Head Units] watson540:
I've seen it in my convoluted perusing. If you look on 4pda, people there talk about activating one or the other in build.prop or some other system related file.

I've seen what I believe is it in the Android settings (the real settings). It's named "carbt". I managed to connect my phone to it once. I never checked any hardwire IDs to verify it was indeed different, but I swear I've seen it mentioned over there. It's up to 384 pages now, so it's hard to keep up
