[Google Pixel 6 Pro] IvanPTachev:
After a couple days of testing (it did indeed took me 2 days to kill my phone) I figured that for whatever reason, on the Pixel (maybe exynos) lowering the render res does indeed save some battery. On 1080p I managed to get around 1%/h - 2%/h less consumption on Screen on Time, which for people like me who manage to get 5+ hours of screen on time can result in quite of a difference. I regularly end days with something between 30-40% battery, which is still really good but I won't go to a second day as the 2 hours charge time is really annoying me :D.

With the lower resolution I ended the first day with 57% and I ended up with 37.5 hours of standby and 8 hours and 40 min of SoT in a full charge. I even went further by reducing the resolution to 720p, but it is really obvious that Google never made a 720p phone - almost all UI's broke and even changing the brightness was a hassle. I also believe that it might have triggered some rouge process as my phone lost 10% battery in less than an hour, so I switched back to my original 1440p.

To conclude this - is changing your resolution to 1080p worth the broken finger print - depends. In my example, I would probably do it if I know I am going on a trip where lots of pics/videos will be taken and heavy navigation use, as my phone is more of a tool in cases like that and I always try to squeeze every bit of battery I can. If google does implement the ability to change the res though - I would definitely switch.

I just wonder, why does it made such a big difference on this phone, but it didnt for S10(the only battery test I found on a video). Is Android 12 harder to drive? Or are these LTPO panels more intense on the GPU? Or is it even exynos/mali GPU not as efficient as SD on rendering UIs? If anyone wants to chime in - Id' be glad to hear some opinions. ( Or maybe I just used my phone less.. that would be the worst :D)

P.S. Just to say this was done on 60hz and that your milage might vary, if you decide to try. Everyone's usage is different and in my case I work from home - so WiFi connection (although router is far) but horrible signal, as I am a top flat in the UK (worst case scenario). The setting I used for the adb command is 1080x2340 and denstity was 400, although density is preference I guess and I believe wont affect battery.View attachment 5544501View attachment 5544503

For what it's worth, with Android 13 Stable and the Kirisakura custom kernel, you can now change to 1080p from Android settings.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Gytole:
And doesn't break the fingerprint scanner like Easy DPI changer does
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] SkexxGo:
There must be a way of doing it without opening the bootloader, right? Or do you guys think it's impossible without breaking stuff like the fp scanner? I'd love to lower my resolution but I really didn't want to lose all my stuff and have to reinstall everything at this moment.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] B from C:
Another method to adjust screen resolution/size/dpi: I noticed the "AOSP Mods" module for LSposed/Magisk has an option in the "Miscellaneous" section for "Display resolution". The slider does work and changes the resolution on my P6P without modifying the smallest width developer setting. YMMV

forum link

Small update: AOSP Mods is now called Pixel Xpert. The Display Resolution slider is still in the Miscellaneous section however you now have to enable "Modify Display Resolution" to see it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] StanWiz:
Thanks a million for this. The module fixed my screen flickering - couldn't go over approx 50% without flicker . I set the screen brightness from within Miscellaneous. Only problem is that I can't access Miscellaneous again without module force closing (other options are fine) - looking into the reason for it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] AsadSnake:
hey

I have purchased a 4K Android TV. the actual resolution definitely is 3840x2160, But the "resolution of Android" is locked at 1920 x 1080. It goes lower (for example 720p) but does not go higher. It is impossible even to be 1921 in 1081! Only 1920 x 1080 or lower is possible. There is no option to adjust TV resolution, like resolution setup, Display, etc. When you watch a 4K movie, you will actually get a resolution of 1920 x 1080, no more. Although the TV is 4K and it is not the problem; "Android" is the problem, which won't let you set the resolution higher than 1920 x 1080 via adb. I tried many times, increasing the resolution above 1920 x 1080 is restricted.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] spr33:
Sorry to say but it appears that the TV is in fact only 1080p, but supports resolutions up to 4K but won't display them as such.

Device 2021/22 Philips UHD Android TV - Device Info HW
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ZenixZaa:
I tried it using adb, like spr33 said, i see how they do it in the reddit, since my device is 20:9 res, i couldnt follow them since it likely for 16:9. So i gather information regarding screen sizes in this site Screen size lists and with screen size calculator Link, and lower the dpi accordingly to make the screen looks the same.

Original res : 720x1600 320dpi

Lower : 540:1200 240dpi

adb shell wm size 540x1200
adb shell wm density 240

works great, a little blurry tho.

Try yourself using the calculator or see other phone resolution with the same display size to avoid error and always lower your dpi to makes your display looks normal (120-640)
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] zepherus705:
Hi everyone. I have an issues with my fingerprint sensor on my device (XQ-AS72,Android11 : 58.1.A.5.441) It's stopped working. When i'm trying to use it, i get a message like : "wipe the fingerprint sensor and try again". So, my hands are clean and the fingerprint sensor too.

I've checked a service test fingerprint sensor from service menu and i've got a message that sensor is not ok. I've tried to boot in safe menu-same problem. I've tried to make a factory reset for a few times. Sometimes it's start working correctly,but not for a long time. When it works, i can see in service test a message that sensor is ok. After the last factory reset, i even can't add a new fingerprint, but if my phone will be off for a few hours, it works, for a few time. Looks like it's a firmware problem, isn't it?

Any ideas to fix it? Thanks.

P.S. I did nothing with my firmware, bootloader, etc. Stock version.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] freestyll:
Same thing here, I have receive the last update few days ago : 58.1.A.5.507 on my device : XQ-AS72. Since the update I had have few message when unlocking through fingerprint sensor : "wipe the fingerprint sensor and try again" but fingers and sensor are clean, it was working though. But now this morning my device wont accept any fingerprint anymore. I have restart it in safe mode (doesnt know that mode exist before btw), and try to use fingerprint sensor, message appear : "wipe the fingerprint sensor and try again" in a loop then new message "retry in 30sec" and samething again and again. So my fingerprint doesnt work anymore.

Furthermore : Since a few days I have noticed a battery drain, and trying to understood whats use so much battery, now I thinks it's all came from the fingerprint reader.

If you have any ideas, let me know :)
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Amused82:
I have the same problem and I guess it's related to the latest update. I'm running 58.1.A.5.507.

The problem seems to disappear when the phone is cold like leaving it in the car while you're shopping. As soon as it's up to operating temperature, the sensor just dies.

A factory reset didn't helped either.

[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Amused82:
Thx for the link. Service Menü reports a faulty fpr. I'll try it again when the device is cold.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Amused82:
Well, as I mentioned before, when the device is cold the sensor works just fine.

I left the device for 15 minutes in the fridge 😁, took it out and it unlocked without problems.

Then I went into the service menu to test the fingerprint sensor. As exoected, it passed the test.

I'm no expert but there might to be a resistance problem with the sensor.

[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] zepherus705:
Well, you are lucky, cause when I'm trying to test the fingerprint from a service menu, I usually get an error that sensor is not ok😂
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Amused82:
It didn't last long 😂

I repeated the test when the device is warm (while charging). And it failed again🤷‍♂️

Could you try the test again when the device is cold? Put it in the fridge for 15 minutes. No need to turn it off.

[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] zepherus705:
Like I said before, I gave the phone for repair under warranty and now I'm waiting for the result😂😂

But I remember, that it's worked fine sometimes, for a few minutes after reboot,or a factory reset...

There is another solution-you can try to install the last version of Android 10,to check is it a software problem or not, if your device warranty was gone. It's not hard😊

I tried downloading something in my developer options and it seemed to work, but when my phone restarted I got a message saying, "your device is corrupt. It Can't be trusted and will not boot". The message seems to be in some sort of boot loop, (keeps restarting with the same message). Is there any way I can fix this without sending my phone in to One Plus? I purchased the phone inside of a Metro store.

If your phone is from T-Mobile or Metro, check out this forum post to recover your phone: https://xdaforums.com/t/opn2005g-oo...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4324431/

If your phone was factory unlocked, contact OnePlus for a repair. The easiest way to tell if your phone is a carrier device or not is to check the back of the phone. If there's an IMEI engraved on the back of the phone, it's a T-Mobile or Metro phone. If there's not IMEI engraver, its factory unlocked.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] edale1:
I think what you used was the DSU Loader.

If I recall earlier posts in this forum correctly, you need to Bootloader Unlock your phone before messing with DSUs, or you will brick your phone.

As Izgmc said, you'll need to use the MSM Download Tools in the thread he linked to fix your phone, assuming you have the T-Mobile or Metro versions; or to contact OnePlus support if you have the factory unlocked variant.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] mitchytcat:
Yeah that was it! Lesson learned. Thank you!
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Ethanvio:
Thats how I managed to mess up my phone and is currently bricked for several months .. no msmdownload for the unlocked .. please try and get a remote session with the oneplus tech guys .. and share if possible
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Jaybone073:
Hold up a second here. If you have tried to relock the bootloader (which will result in the device is corrupt and will not boot message) try this:

Hold down all 3 buttons (Vol+ Vol- and power) for about 8 seconds or so. As soon as the device vibrates quickly release the power button. When you do, the device should be in fastboot. If you are in fastboot you should now be able to connect it to the PC and type the command fastboot oem unlock. This will now attempt to unlock the bootlaoder. Chances are you have previously unlocked the bootloader and have attempted to relock it. Doing so will cause this error message on the UNLOCKED version of the device.

This will wipe the data but return the device to an unlocked state but not completely bricked on stock firmware. Go through the normal prompts to start the device and you should be good.

Remember, if you have fastboot its not COMPLETELY bricked. Not yet anyways.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] jdvnb:
I had this happened on my OnePlus Nord 200 5g literally the next day after I got it from Metro at T-Mobile. Phone updated as it should but restarted with the same message you received. They tried to accuse me of putting a virus on the phone which did not make any sense and after going through insurance who couldn't accept the claim for "software damage" ... I contacted one plus and had them remote view my laptop with downloaded tar files and had a technician try to reinstall them back to its original factory condition but to no luck. Metro being a franchise company, has the loophole not accepting returned merchandise even under the return policy stated on the receipt, and customer service technically has no control or power over any particular franchise Metro store. I suggest the only answer I had after 2 weeks of frustration from contacting everyone I possibly could to writing corporate, I finally had a CSR tell me to just get a warranty exchange at any Metro store in which I did in two days later I received a new phone which actually works this time so I would suggest just doing the warranty exchange in order to get yourself a workable phone. Hope that helps. \m/
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] superspecialgueststar:
I did this exact thing. Mine is the oem unlocked variant. Is contacting oneplus support still the only option? It's on the metro/tmobile network if that matters. I really fcked up here with dsu loader. Pretty desperate right now for a fix. Please.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] edale1:
You can try the MSM Tools and see if it works, if not, then yes, OP Support is your only option.

Taking a break and then going to look for a guide for MSM tools.

edit - as an additional point of confusion, my bootloader was unlocked, I was rooted with magisk patched upstream boot.img. Did this happen because I did not know about uninstalling magisk and installing magiosk to the inactive slot? My bootloader is still unlocked, but flashing boot backups etc does not get me out of fastboot loop, and unable to verify boot image error when I try to fastboot boot twrp or orangefox.

You're past the point I can help with, maybe someone else has some more advice for you?
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] superspecialgueststar:
Thanks. And technical support turns out is the only way and sending it in is the only way for the oem unlocked version.

[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] oCAPTCHA:
Superspecialgueststar,

The released MSM tool is only for the carrier variant and cannot be used for the unlocked variant. There is cryptographic security in place to restrict its use.

You can still fix your unlocked device, just use an unbrick guide for the unlocked version.

[Linux] Tetractys:
I don't have experience in Win (11, 10 nor previous ones - last touched was in 2001) but if you want to install a Linux distro (anyone!) on a strict win/laptop bundle (if course probably you go to loose warranty.... be careful) i can suggest the follow as first tests steps:

1) simplify the firmware to not use UEFI

2) be sure to have the firmware set on FAT/DOS legacy settings

3) start the laptop with the live Linux distro of your choice *in legacy / DOS mode* NOT in UEFI mode (i recommend an ArchLinux based like Manjaro i.e. very solid and installation friendly)

4) during the installation process, choose to completely reformat the disk(s) in ext4 type fs

5) follow the procedure installing the bootloader on the same disk (if you have at least 8 Gb of ram you can avoid to have a swap partition and you can ever have it after the installation managing it in memory or on the disk - follow wiki for that.

6) reboot.

7) enjoy a pure GNU/Linux Box with legacy (always working) partitioning.

After this will be successful you can experimenting the UEFI mode, eventually.

P.S. This is the simplest method. Cause to complicate things is always easy and dangerous. Follow the "KISS" ArchLinux and derivates as Manjaro principle (Keep It Simple Stupid).

Why on earth switch off UEFI? I use it since like 8 years; never had any problems with it.

Does it need an update for android 12 & pixel 6 pro ?

Play store says - ( current version ) 3.42 - Added support for Android 12 . . . and so I assumed I would enjoy some troubleshooting...

nope.

( the devil in the details )

It says, in order to get more ( actually useful stuff ) - you have to 'enable more stats'. And it says you don't need *** root to accomplish that. ( magic ! )

The actual app has built in steps / instructions. Cool ! It says to adb shell a string. I can handle that !

The string is : "adb shell grant com.gsamlabs.bbm.pro android.permission.BATTERY_STATS"

Anybody know the secret ?

I can confirm that it's at least working with root. My guess for your attempt on the shell: maybe you made a typo?
