[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Ylensa:
How This Xiaomi release an update that ruins the tablet function to play movies? This is an absurd!!! I´ve just bought one of this it came with android 11 miui 13, I don´t know which version it had. But was working ok, mainly on Netflix, Not beeing aware of these issues I had it upgraded for miui 13.1.2, boom can´t watch no more HDR movies on Netflix. Now I have to wait this 168h booll**** to unlock it and downgrade. Xiaomi never more!
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Ylensa:
I´ve found a very useful hint now that worked well for me as a temporary solution: As the problem is HDR and Dolby Vision, setting the playback to medium quality on Netflix profile preferences the darkness disapeared and the imagem is good now. While Xiaomi doesn´t fix the latest miui.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] ljransom:
Wouldn't it better to just add netflix to the video toolbox and select outdoor mode? I find this resolves all dark issues for me on every video application.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Ylensa:
Hi, the video toolbox didn't worked well for me, it looks like there is a layer of a grey smoke on the screen. Changing the settings on Netflix was much better, the image is normal. The problem is that this new miui update do not support HDR and DV. Changing the settings looks that turn off HDR, no changing in screen resolution. Also it wont affect on movies that are not in HDR, and the brightness control works fine.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] ljransom:
Strange, I don't sees the layer of grey smoke as you put it. I don't use netflix though and still see HDR content using applications such as Disney+
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] AssumedDiz:
I received an update on European rom yesterday, 13.1.3 Android 12

It restored Dolby Vision functionality, now it's on the same state as 13.0.6

Apps with dolby support have no dark scene issues

Apps with regular HDR support still have dark scene issues

Video toolbox effects work on Dolby content but do not work on HDR

Also you can set display color scheme to standard for even better dark scenes on Dolby
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Ylensa:
Good to hear that!
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] theoxarhs:
How did you receive the 13.1.3 upate? OTA?

UPDATE1 => found the link to download it!

Has anyone who is on the 13.1.2 update tried shutdown/reboot and was stuck at boot process (with three dots) and adb catlog complaining about

D audio_hw_utils: audio_extn_utils_open_snd_mixer: retry, retry_num

When not stuck it detects the chipset sound card :

D audio_hw_utils: audio_extn_utils_open_snd_mixer: snd_card_name: sm8150-tavil-snd-card

I hope this is related with the sound issues you mentioned, seems they have messed up sound in 13.1.2 for sure...

UPDATE2 => OTA 13.1.3 arrived today, unfortunately doesn't resolve the issue!!! :( Probably hardware error...

Latest version Netfix playback specifications
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Blocky Advance:
Did you ever find a way around this?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Ylensa:
HDR seens not work in this tablet after miui 13.0.6, Dolby Vision was restored on the last update.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Blocky Advance:
So it's better to rollback to 13.0.6?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Ylensa:
I'm not sure. If you really need HDR, maybe. For me the problem was watching movies on Netflix, but it looks like all HDR movies that was very dark also are in Dolby Vision, wich was fixed on last update. To downgrade is kinda of complicated, you need to get the tablet unlocked by Xiomi, usually takes a week. Then go to all process to reinstall muiu. If you don't really need HDR, which is not much good in this tablet, probably wait for a new update that will fix it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quaresma_7:
Hi, I just got a Fire HD 10 (2021), did the whole Fire toolbox routine on it, and now I have a pretty generic affordable Android tablet with a nice screen and good battery life.

I added a 128 GB microSD card, formatted it as tablet storage instead of portable storage, as I will be using it in this tablet for 99% of the time.

I still wanted more control of whether files go to the internal memory or to the SD card. The storage settings only offer me to batch move all movable apps to SD card as well as moving all movable media files to the SD card.

I want to set it to always download stuff on the SD card and install apps on internal memory. An online guide had some checkboxes in the storage settings regarding what goes on the SD card, but on the newer software, I don't have those options.

More experienced users of Fire HD tablets, please help. Thank you and merry Christmas :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pixaa_Maana:
Hi! (new to this forum so I hope I'm not off-topic or in the wrong place)

So I've recently got a Matepad 11, running on HarmonyOS 2.0, knowing it would be kinda troublesome in some cases with the lack of GMS. But I've successfully installed the apps I wanted (APKPure, mostly) and managed to connect to my Google accounts for what I needed. However, now I'd like to download a game - Pokémon Masters EX - which relies on Google Play Games. I don't have any problems with other Google Apps (Drive for example) but this one is causing me trouble. I'm using GSpace to download it directly through the Play Store, launching it through GSpace, outside of GSpace, launching the game before Play Games etc etc... But the outcome is the same ; the game launches, but asks for GMS (other apps did that but they run well), so I try to connect to Play Games, which will either crash or stuck in an infinite loading.

So I wanted to know if it was useless to try, or if there is a way to make it work.

Thanks in advance and have a great day!

[Fairphone 4] RL-S:
This is a copy of my question on SO.

I want to remove Google apps and services on a new Fairphone 4 (Android 11, now rooted using Magisk. No TWRP build available yet.).

To this end, I am trying to use microG. In the Prerequisites for its usage, signature spoofing and deleting files in `system/priv-app` are listed. For signature spoofing, I followed the *XPosed solution for Android 11 and 12* listed here, i.e. using Magisk + riru + LSPosed + a FakeGApps fork. Not sure, whether or not this worked. All individual steps reported success, but the Signature Spoofing Checker says it didn't work.

Anyway, I'm definitely stuck at the second step, because I don't seem to be able to delete any files in `system_ext/priv-app`. I tried the solutions proposed here and here.

If I try

adb shell
su
# then confirm on the phone, then
mount -o rw,remount /

I get '/dev/block/dm-0' is read-only. Similar error (with dm-1) if I try mounting /system_ext.

adb root or adb disable-verity don't work, because it's a user build: adbd cannot run as root in production builds, verity cannot be disabled/enabled - USER build.

I even tried to write a Magisk module to replace the directories in question with empty ones, by putting the following in the customize.sh:

REPLACE="
/system_ext/priv-app/GoogleFeedback
/system_ext/priv-app/GoogleOneTimeInitializer
/system_ext/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework
/system_ext/priv-app/SetupWizard
/system/system_ext/priv-app/GoogleFeedback
/system/system_ext/priv-app/GoogleOneTimeInitializer
/system/system_ext/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework
/system/system_ext/priv-app/SetupWizard
"

I think /system/system_ext and /system_ext are hard linked, but not sure whether that matters. After loading that module and rebooting, the contents of those folders are still the same when checking with adb shell.

Any ideas?

For adb I'm using my desktop with Ubuntu 21.10.
[Fairphone 4] BIG_J_06:
Hello,

It's way easier than you can imagine. I did a tutorial there : https://forum.fairphone.com/t/tutorial-install-microg-on-fairphone-os/80016

But as you are quite advanced, the only thing you have to do is to install NanoDroid-MicroG with Magisk : https://downloads.nanolx.org/NanoDroid/Stable/

Just install the Zip and eventually update MicroG on the official website (version packed in NanoDroid is 17, newest one is 22...). This will erase all old Gapps.

PS :signature check spoofer don't work, the package you mentionned (which is the one I use also) only fake signature for Gapps, which is a good thing...
[Fairphone 4] RL-S:
Thanks a ton! Looks like it worked, and it really wasn't more than installing that one module :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AjvarXX:
I tried these 2 modes:

settings put secure display_cutout_hide_notch 1

settings put system op_camera_notch_ignore 1

Nothing worked.

Reason: OS cuts out more pixels than actual cutout killing my useful space. (verically and horizontally).

I want OS to set cutoit to NONE as if there is no cutout.

ALTERNATIVE: How to set custom size cutout without root?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Seems it's a complete hit or miss depending on the phone manufacturer and even model.

I have 2 Note 10+'s, one running on 9, the newer on 10. The both look and behave almost identically though. Under the hood though it becomes apparent Samsung went to great lengths to accomplish this on the Q variant. The Q variant has dozens of new small system apks to achieve this. They don't appear to reduce battery life or performance at all.

Then I saw this. It's nuts. Be glad you don't have that phone!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaydenDev:
I'm pretty sure there is an option in developer options.

To enable just go to about phone find build version and spam tap it around 10 times then go to dev options and it "should" be there

If it's a samsung, it might be hidden. But My old ANDR11/OneUI3.1 device shows it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AjvarXX:
The Problem is, in Dev.options I see "Default, Corner, Double (Top&Bottom), Narrow (narrower but taller)".

I don't see None option. Usually if you don't, you stillmight find that in hidden Engineer Menu but that is too much of a hassle for a possibility.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaydenDev:
Setting it to none would cause lots of issues I believe.

Magisk installs itself to boot partition so it should work but you'll need to allow the other user to gain root permissions which you can do using Magisk Manager.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Gadgetguy65:
Hello all, I have successfully installed the Galaxy Health Monitor app following the instructions from here (apk to the phone and to the watch) now I just need to calibrate the blood pressure. THANK YOU!

What I am struggling with is to install the actual Galaxy Health App to have all kinds of general fitness tracking (sleep etc.) on a phone app.

I have downloaded different versions of the app and I always get "parse error" when the app manager installs it and so it does not work (as it does not install).

How can I install the Galaxy Health Monitor app on Xiaomi Redmi? (The generic Galaxy Phone app works - so I can change watch faces etc. - but I am unable to get any health stats on the phone app).

Maybe I am just a dummy and its already in there somewhere? But then - where? ( We have several smart watches / fitness bands in the family: they all give detailed stats on their phone apps - while so far I get no stat whatsoever for the Galaxy 4 watch - and I do not even see where the stats should be, hence trying to use the Galaxy Health App)

Thank you for any suggestions!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Try installing "Health Platform" from Play Store (it's a Samsung app) and sync your Samsung account to it by opening the health platform settings and enabling all permissions. Do that on watch and phone.

It comes pre-installed on Samsung devices including watch but you have to sync Samsung health to it manually. Your Xaomi phone won't have it installed by default.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Gadgetguy65:
Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately there is no health platform (or other similar Samsung app) in my app store... All I see is Galaxy Wearable and that does not give me any health stats...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Health Platform - Apps on Google Play

The Health Platform is an Android-based mobile/Watch platform service

play.google.com

Try this (Link to health platform in play store)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Gadgetguy65:
Thank you! It says that this app does not work on my phone. And a sideload version gives the same parse error
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Just to be clear are you trying to get Samsung Health Monitor or Samsung Health? 2 different apps.

Health Monitor is only for blood pressure. Samsung Health has all the features Including sleep.

Samsung Health - Apps on Google Play

Lifestyle companion to track your fitness, weight, diet, food & sleep.

play.google.com

Samsung Health Monitor will only work on Galaxy Devices.Samsing Health should be downloadable from app store and will sync with watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Gadgetguy65:
I am looking for any app that will give me health stats on my xiaomi phone. I was able to download (sideload) samsung health monitor and blood pressure and ecg works. But I am unable to download or sideload samsung health as it is not available in the app store on my phone and sideload versions give me a parse error
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Ok I just confirmed Xiaomi isn't compatible with Samsung Health Apps. There's a workaround. Install Google Fit and sync up. You can get the Google fit app on your galaxy watch too. On your phone, download Health Sync. Sync your Google fit to Samsung health and it will automatically sync your metrics between the two apps. That's the only way.

or you can just use Google fit. It provides everything health does except sleep but you can use health sync to get sleep metrics in Google fit.

Health Sync - Apps on Google Play

Sync health data between Samsung Health, Google Fit, Fitbit, Garmin and others

play.google.com

Just be sure to download Google fit activity tracker on Galaxy watch.. it can check all the sensors and step tracker.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Through that workaround all your Samsung health data will be viewable I'm the Google fit App or Samsung Health app on your watch .. it can sync data both ways.

It syncs the data in the cloud so you don't need Samsung health installed on your phone to sync data.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Ok I wrote this very confusing...

You can use the alternative Google fit by downloading Google fit activity tracker on your watch and phone. All data will sync through Google fit. Don't need health sync.

If you want to view Samsung health data from your watch on your phone, download Health sync and sync your Samsung health data TO Google fit. Your Google fit will display your Samsung health data but DONT download the Google fit activity tracker on your watch if you use health sync since you'll be using Samsung health to log data instead.

You have options using Google Fit and Health Sync is my point.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Some devices can't downgrade the android version. I'm not sure if your device is one of them though. If it is, you won't be able to go back to android 9 from 10.

Can you look in system settings and verify that it still shows your IMEI number? If it is not showing or if it shows all zeroes, the IMEI got wiped out during the update. In such case, you may have to restore the IMEI or refresh your firmware via PC. Restoring IMEI or flashing firmware will require a PC.
