anyone useing microg and want to report how you feel using this rom.

or how hard it is to install microg on this rom?

i really want to go google less but they baked in the esim support and other hardware features to google services. apple would be proud at the forced requirements.

I just got my 5a yesterday. After updating to Android 12, the weather stopped working. I had to add a widget to the home screen to see the weather. Now I have 2 dates on my screen. Is there any way to fix this?

Regards
[Google Pixel 5a] thereal_bigjake:
Are you running stock? I had that issue by using the old Magisk and the old saftynet fix on my 3a XL. Leaving my 5a on Android 11 till 12 is improved or something cause I am finding it hard to like A12.
[Google Pixel 5a] Hondo209:
Yes it's stock. The way I fixed was, I made a second account under multiple users. Then I switched back to my original, deleted the second accounts, it's been fixed ever since...

Hi,

I know this is an old thread, but I am considering buy a used one of these radios for my 2014 Accord Hybrid.

Any input on how well the radio works and what features I will lose if I install this unit.

Thanks in advance,

I've had my Tilt for about 6 months now and I've finally got it the way I like it with all the software and stuff (thanks xda!), but now I have the opportunity to swap it for an HTC diamond. Should I do it? I don't know much about the Diamond and really dont have the time right now to look it up so I'm leaving it up to you guys. Btw incase it might help I use my phone for mostly 1) phone calls, 2) Wifi on my University campus , 3) Texting. Thanks for your help.
[General Topics] Cheeseman-:
Unless it was an HTC Touch Diamond Pro then I wouldn't recommend it. Sure the Diamond has

slightly

better specs, but it lacks the nice tilting keyboard, but then again you can always do with the on-screen keyboard instead. Hers my take on it; I wouldn't buy a new HTC Touch Diamond to replace my HTC Tilt, but if I had the opportunity to swap it for free then I would go for it. Anyways hers a specification comparison between the two:

speaking of it, does any one of you know if theresa plugin of some sort to make the Dxian X999+'s accelerometer work as the g sensor????

PS. this probably isn't the best place to post this but i need help :)

Thanks
[General Topics] guevr001:
for hat you your phone for they both work. only thing is your going to miss your keyboard. if you want both devices put in one try the htc raphael. has vga display and a keyboard. you loose features but gain some newer technology 3d drivers (but as you know kaiser is close to realeasing m3d ) I beleive the raphael has g sensors and it is has a vga display.
[General Topics] rorydaredkign:
the whole point is he can SWAP for a diamond, he doesn't want to be told to spend $800 on a Touch Pro, as I'm sure he knows that it's essentially a combintion of them.

I would say keep the Tilt, youve got it perfect, I'm sure it runs fast enough for you, and the Diamond doesn't really have better specs at all (fake amount fo RAM)

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] callihn:
Long story short I had two US998 versions and one got the glass broke badly on both sides so you can't do much with it though I do have TWRP backups for it. I just got a replacement in but contrary to what the seller claimed it is not a US998 version but an H932 version running H93230d.

Can it be changed to a US998 via software?

How do I go about doing it and where do I start?

Any help greatly appreciated.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MacGuy2006:
I don't usually take video, but on a couple of occasions I tried to, it was unusable. Granted, I tried to zoom in at 4x on both tries, and the results were so pixelated and overprocessed, that the footage was unwatchable on anything larger than a phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 86rickard:
Thats because Google stupidly don't use the 4x telephoto on video. It's a crop.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Izy:
That's where your wrong

It uses the telephoto but only if your using 4K30fps

@Ultimoose the P6P uses 43mbs for 4k30 and 62/63mbs for 4K60

Already tested it before and checked mediainfo for bitrates
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Utini:
Quick question from a noobie: why not using 4k/60fps but only 4k/30fps?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Az Biker:
I think comparing GoPro 9 video results to a smartphone video results is setting the P6P up for failure.

The GoProv9 (I have the Hero * Black) is solely built to be an active sport recoding device, nothing else.

The P6P is a smartphone that offers the ability to capture video, which I'm pretty sure wasn't designed around mountain biking, trail running, or active outdoor sporting.

Even if the comparison was sitting at a table filled with friends using these two devices; one is specifically designed to capture video, and one has a video capturing feature.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Golf c:
I just tried shooting a horse show on video. Experimenting with different settings. Didn't turn out that great. Lol. I told girlfriend I need pro equipment
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Izy:
the 4X telephoto zoom works only with 4K30 but it works very wel

though honestly could be a software limitation

Some nice zoom today in the cold (looks better in 4k once processing finishes)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Az Biker:
I'm a pretty aggressive mountain biker and the GoPro hero 8 black is amazing at video stabilization.

Biggest issue with the GoPro imho is the inaccurate depth perception. Not sure if you meant video horse shows while on a horse or on a static mount.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Golf c:
I was sitting in chair watching. No mount. Auto focus and the horse's motion were glitchy. Still learning those video settings. I had people's heads in front of me and horses in background. The focus on people's heads were perfect. Lol. Maybe turn off auto focus and do manual?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Izy:
if you look in bottom right corner and select the hand there are 4 different stabilisation options

(some affect resolution)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Golf c:
I tried them all. Experimenting. I shot a bunch of stuff. Have to go through it and see what is what.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ultimoose:
Found the issue with only seeing 20mbps bit rate. With Active mode stabilization you lose the ability to shoot in 4k/30, it drops to 1080P/30 (technically 28.7 and 28.6 in two different clips so it's not quite the normal). This is a personally painful limitation for me.

So if you want active motion video you either settle for 1080P, less stabilization or use a gimbal as of right now. Except DJI doesn't fully support the P6P / Android 12. Just mostly works.

Side note, the DJI Fly app doesn't work at all on the P6 (or android 12 to be fair). DJI's current official recommendation is to find a phone that their app works on.

The joys of early adopter.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ultimoose:
Depends on the recording device. On a GoPro 4k/60 and 4k/30 both use 100mbps (with high bitrate selected) to record the video/audio. In order to fit 60 frames per second into the same storage space as 30frames per second the GP uses higher compression which results in lower amount of data per frame. i.e. 4k/60 is lower visual quality than 4k/30. And 4k/24 would be slightly higher quality than 4k/30 but the Pixel doesn't record in 24.

I only use 4k/60 for clips I specifically intend to slow down in post personally.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ultimoose:
I captured some more footage and rendering it out now. I'm going to have to say the Pixel 6 suffers in comparison at 1080/30 with Active stabilization. To anything that records video in some respects, not just against a GoPro.

For example: There are frequent freezes where the Pixel's video records the same frame over several frames, I've counted as high as 10 frames of a static image being recorded. This results in what looks like a jump cut transition when it catches back up. This happened several times in the first few minutes of the recording and the outside temp was around 45F which should rule out an overheating issue. Notably the phone recorded the entire 32 ish minute run without shutting down.

The focal point (not focus) drifts pretty badly as well at times. There are spots where it literally looks like the pixel is aimed off the side of the trail while the GP is aimed straight forward with both on the same mount. The camera appears to be shifting which portion of the sensor it's recording from not in a good way. I'm familiar with active stabilization artifacting from this kind of movement, I've owned or own every GP except the 1 so I've seen how EIS has grown and matured over time but the P6's drift and yo yo'ing is not pretty at times.

The jello effect is also noticeable as is the exposure shift although not OMG this sucks kind of way, it's more a ugh, that's ugly kind of way.

The above may be issues with the Active mode stabilization. I wasn't expecting it to be this janky or I'd of recorded other segments with EIS set to 'light' and 'cinematic'. The 'locked' mode which I assume means no stabilization would only be of any use mounted to a stationary tripod or possibly a gimbal.

Once the render finishes, uploads and the full resolution is available I'll post a link. It'll be a few hours at best as YT takes forever to provide the 4k format for me.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ultimoose:
Side note, the Active stabilization when it's working seems solid, I'll need to see the rendered side by side but in my editor it's making a solid showing going up against the GP9's Linear+HL+Boost combo.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Utini:
Nice...very curious to see your results. And thanks for explaining all this!

The blue progress bar is few pixels wide but it gets stuck as well and I have to restart the tablet to get back to the system or to the recovery.

Any ideas are really highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. This is annoying when the device is getting more and more unusable because of the software (now youtube is not working anymore on this old kitkat 4.4.2) while the hardware is doing well.

FIXED:

I had to rename the image file to recovery.img - it helped.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] bmwdroid:
That's amazing as I always thought that Odin is only capable of flashing .tar or .tar.md5 files.

Perhaps this is only valid for older versions.

How did you managed to flash that recovery? I have also softbricked my T525 :( - reboots only to fastboot (Odin mode), but Odin can't even recognize it (not even PC sound of plugged device etc.). Stuck on Lineage bootloop and rebooting twrp (wrong version probably:(.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] _JuSteR_:
Hey everybody!

Quick question: would you replace your Galaxy S21 Ultra with a Pixel 6 Pro?

I'm asking it because I'm a S21 owner but I've never been completely in love with the Samsung design (those squircle icons...) nor all the Samsung apps I don't use and can't remove. I'm into Google apps and services and I'm attracted by the simple and minimal design of the Pixel 6. On the other hand, I like Samsung for the plethora of options and features they add to the Android system, most of which are not in the Pixel.

I've been reading around a lot and it seems that in terms of performance and battery the two phones are basically the same - and the S21 is one year old almost. The S21 could have a slightly better camera, whereas the Pixel can count on the Tensor chip and specific features.

So, what's your thought?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] FoneWatcher:
You're probably not going to be happy with a Pixel. The UX is polar opposite of Sammy's and a few cool features aren't probably going to be enough for you to unlike what you liked about Sammys in the first place.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Icons? There are hundreds of free icon packs, themes and more at the Samsung Galaxy store.

You can use a package disabler to block apps you don't want.

Personally I rejected the S21U because of no SD card slot or spen.

The Pixel is a bare bones UI, just the opposite of Samsung. I've seen the homepage screen shots for the Pixels and they're damn weak.

You can really trick out stock Samsung's... Good

Lock family of apps, etc.

My two N10+'s look and behave like I want them to...

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Fauxnetiks:
I personally just made the exact switch you're thinking of doing. It doesn't have all of the "custom" additions that the S21U does but I feel like because of that the Pixel feels better.

The biggest reason I switched was for the performance. The S21U felt laggy and slow even compared to my previous phone (OnePlus 8 Pro). The Pixel feels way smoother of an experience.

Camera is subjective but I've always been a fan of the "Google" processing so I've installed a GCam mod on every phone I can, S21 included.

I'm much happier now on the Pixel 6 pro than the S21U so if you're okay with a more minimalistic phone without all of the Samsung goodies, then this might be worth the switch.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes, I would replace any Samsung with the P6P. My wife and I were happy with the first Pixel, which we used until they stopped updating it almost two years ago. I was waiting for Google to come out with a 512 GB model, and since they hadn't yet we got the Samsung Note 10+ 512 GB.

When the P6P 512 GB model was revealed, I knew it was time to buy, and sell our Samsungs, which I did on Swappa without wasting much time. The only thing we slightly miss is the included stylus.

I could go on and reiterate a list of things I didn't like about Samsung's version of Android (the hardware was great). One major thing I couldn't stand about the software was the erratic, unreliable notifications of my GMail, Hangouts, and Google Chat.

I don't have a work phone because I don't want to use iOS, and I count on prompt notifications when I'm busy multitasking on my work PC. Sometimes I wouldn't get notifications for two hours after the email was sent. My work uses Google for everything. Sometimes I would get a notification of an email hours after I had already seen it on the PC and had deleted it.

I tried everything I could to try to fix it with no luck. My brother's family has their very first smartphone in the last several years when they bought the Samsung Galaxy S9+. When I told him about my notification issue, he said he assumed that's just the way Android is (no, it's not).

As I said, I could detail a long list but I've been over it before so it gets tiring. 😁

Good luck, whatever you choose.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skimminstones:
you can trick out any android phone. Not hard to put a different launcher and icons on it. The homescreen you attached there looks no better than any of the other homescreens on any other phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] vlubosh:
i have both devices, ehm three(s21, s21u, p6pro) and i will say, P6pro is better, same performance, a lot better battery, comparing camera(what i miss so much is better zoom with S21U). p6pro is battery friendly, same usage and you get 10h SOT, with S21U only 5-7(but with profiles - data, bt off, in night Flicght mode...)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
Same here. I still have my s21u and currently using the p6p. As of now, I'm content with the 6 pro. Battery can be better. This phone is fairly new and there will be lots of updates.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Guyinlaca:
I'd stick with the S21 Ultra. If you want a better UI, download Nova Launcher and a Pixel icon pack. Also #Hex Installer allows you to completely redesign the UI with Pixel style icons and less rounded elements throughout. I'm not sure if it's working with Android 12 yet though. If you hate the bloat, there are ways to disable the majority of it using ADB.

I like the Pixel 6 Pro a lot, but I'm not gonna lie, there are A LOT of things that Samsung phones do better. Samsung has GoodLock for endless customization, Always on Display Customization, the 5G modem works better, and charging seems to be faster and more reliable.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] _JuSteR_:
I'm already using Nova and tried so many times with #Hex but I've never achieved a complete and consistent customisation - unfortunately I have a thing for design done well.

What's really holding me is that:

- the P6P modem is actually worse than the S21U

- charging time is the same if not worse than S21U, in contrast to what Google initially promised

- battery life is basically the same

- the P6P display is less brighter (least worst)

And I also consider that the S21U is one year older than the P6P. So I'm wondering if it's worth the hassle. On the other hand I know the P6P is new, so it's expected to receive fixes and updates - but improving the modem or battery sounds like a miracle
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
You don't get it. No 3rd party launcher needed as the icons packs, theme etc plug directly in. One UI is fast and uses far less resources and battery than Nova.

My homescreen is purposely devoid of display degrading, lame top bar icons and battery eating crap. I could junk it to the max if so inclined🤣

Smooth completely user controlled pull down notifications, none of the Pixel snap stuff. Animations can be completely disabled (yes they are disabled) without unwanted side effects unlike Pixel.

Pull down notifications... any colors or shade my evil heart desires.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] crossdeath:
Nope
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skimminstones:
but youre missing the point yourself. Samsung is just another launcher on top of android letting you customise it. No different to buying any phone and choosing which launcher you want to put on.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Big difference.

One UI is integrated into the device. It's extremely stable, fast, and efficient. Currently it's using 83mb of ram. Current total ram usage 5.1 of the 12gb with 2 browsers open.

Many of the customizations are built into the base load of the N10+. Keep what you like, disable the rest.

Samsung One UI 4 Beta review: Phenomenal cosmic bugs, itty bitty feature set

The stable release of Android 12 hasn't happened yet, but Samsung has decided to go ahead and give us our first taste of its new One UI 4 update. In some ways, this beta is even better ...

www.androidcentral.com

Et cetera. And we all know Googles bugs, even though it's sometimes hard to differentiate between general Android version bugs and specific Google Launcher bugs.

In the end, it's a question of personal taste.

Most people in a Google Pixel forum will tell you "Go Google Pixel".

Most people in a Samsung Galaxy forum will tell you "Go Samsung Galaxy".

Why? Because people freakin paid money for a product they want to like. Nobody wants to buy sh*t. Nobody wants to get ripped off. Nobody wants to feel like the id*ot that bought a broken product.

It's normal for people to say "my product is awesome, buy it!!!" - it's not always a rational decision, or a good one, but it's a human one.

(You have to mind the trolls though, meaning people that never owned a device, but trying to tell people what to think about it. Or people trying to go on a personal level because they lack arguments, often or not found here at XDA).

In the end, what matters is that manufacturers fix their stuff, and both Google and Samsung tend to do that, so I'd give both a recommendation. The S21 Ultra has the better screen and battery life and a slightly better processor, Google has the better camera, connectivity (in terms of notifications that are not delayed, not modem) and unique software features (now playing, live translate, automatic call screening, whatever - since all Samsung features can be easily ported over to a (rooted) Pixel, but not vice versa - and no, Shazam cannot replace now playing, it's not nearly as convenient and efficient). So it's up to you to decide whats more important.

Even though there were certain Samsung that tended to explode in your pants, you know the whole recall with specialized explosion safe packaging story, that was a bummer of the magnitude 8.

Personally, I can't Samsung. But not because their products are ****. No, Samsung just behaves like an a**. They want to forcefeed you huge mountainsized ADS on your 9000 Dollars expensive television and that's just unacceptable on the magnitude 10. They will not get a single dime from me in the future. That kind of behaviour cannot be tolerated. If I pay thousands of dollars for a product, I have earned the right to never again have to bother with ads - if that company disagrees, f*ck them.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
I think both of those devices suck; hardware and firmware. I wouldn't touch either... to be fair.
