[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Platonic_GG:
I believe i had a similar issue as you. Except that i had no second device that was same model to test it out. But the rest was in pair with your explanation. I tried installing the latest drivers from the official xiaomi website, removing the old drivers and reinstalling them, restarting laptop, enabling usb debugging on phone...whatever i thought would work but none helped.

Eventually i had it working by installing the latest fastboot driver: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1D96njoYn-n3alu3ggaK3Kw8hMGLKhJVg

After installing it go to Device manager, then under Other devices you will see your Redmi note 9 pro. Right click -> Update Driver -> Browse my computer for drivers.

Select as folder the folder from the drive that you installed, should be named "Fastboot driver-20230301T161058Z-001" or just "Fastboot Driver", it will automatically search for the desired file "android_winusb.inf". Afterwards just press next. Your device should appear in device manager under Android Phones -> Android Bootloader Interface.

Open CMD and check if your device is now under fastboot devices. At least it worked for me. Managed to disable OEM and install the Google Pay app.

[Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite  Questions & Answers] toto_rigolo:
Hello everyone,

Happy New Year !

Also, i bought this phone, Xiaomi 10 Lite.

I i live in Belgium. No problems with my belgian sim card.

I moved to Portugal, and i can't connect my belgian SIM card to the Portugese network.

So i bought a Portugese SIM card, and i still can't connect to the portugese carriers.

I guess i have to unlock my phone. But i have no idea how to do this.

My previous phones were already unlocked.

The only solutions i found are asking me to pay.

All websites seems to redirect on here... (and some other as shaddy websites)

Are there any tools i can use ?

Any help or tutorial please ?

I have the IMEI code tho (both of them).

Many thanks for your help !

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bitman7:
Hi everyone,

I have a glorious 2014 Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 and love it so much that I recently gave it a new lease on life by installing LineageOS 17.1.

I'm having trouble trying to save photos to me SD card. Here's what I did.

1. First I tried using the SD card as Adopted Storage, but I found out that everytime I rebooted the phone the SD card would become corrupted. After reading of similar experiences by other users I dismissed Adopted Storage as not stable enough.

2. Formatted the SD as External, found out that the Camera app bundled with LineageOS 17.1 can't write to SD, so I installed Open Camera. Open Camera works great and can save photos to the SD card, but when I open the last picture taken by tapping the thumbnail I cannot swipe back to the previous photos, I can view only the last one, so I'm forced to exit the camera app and open the gallery app to review/delete photos. I also installed other gallery apps like Simple Gallery and Camera Roll and associated them with pictures, making sure that Open Camera would use those apps to show the last photo, but even so there's no way to swipe back to previous photos. What is odd is that all the gallery apps that I tried allow me to swipe between photos when opened outside the Camera app. It's only inside the camera app that I can't swipe.

Another problem, I don't know if related or not, is that gallery apps won't read EXIF data from images stored on the SD card. They can read the image content but not the EXIF data... how can that be?!? It's all in the same file! This is quite puzzling and utterly frustrating.

Is there a way to get camera and gallery apps to operate as expected on LineageOS 17.1?

Thanks,

Bitman7
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bitman7:
I found a very good solution: the fbind module for Magisk. It's exactly what I needed because it allows (among other things) to mount a DCIM folder on the SD card to the internal DCIM folder. This module should be advertised more, it's a godsend and I almost gave up before finally finding it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivec:
On my side also I encountered a few issues with camera and gallery bundled apps within LineageOS 17.1, thus after I felt upon your posts, I installed Magisk and fBind module on my J5 in order to be able to create symlinks ; However, after hours of reading about Magisk or fBind here and there, I basically have still no clue about how to use any part of it...

I mean, everything is setup and I get I have to use commands such as these ones to redirect OS attempts to read/write files :

"from_to Pictures .fbind/Pictures

from_to WhatsApp .fbind/WhatsApp"

...But where ? In a "terminal" console ? But which one ? Nowhere noone is explaining it, as if it were obvious (!)

I have ADB installed and working on my windows computer, but it does not interact with Magisk or its modules when I plug USB... Do I have to trigger recovery mode and use "ADB shell" in TWRP ? Will then these fBind commands be available ? Will they work only for the further reboot ? Or maybe do I need an app offering a linux terminal running on the phone ?

Do I need to write these commands somewhere so they will be executed in a .txt file at each boot ?

Is it a linux formatted .sh file as some other stuff related to Magisk ? Where does this file must be placed ?

I mean, everywhere people are talking (well, writing) about that, they mention stuff such as "data/data/adb/", or any other directories I can't find anywhere within my own internal or added SD cards...

I used to be a "self-made" (profesional) developper, I coded in Java, Lingo, Lua, Python, PHP, etc... and a (profesional) 3D modeler... But I never felt as much lost as I am just right now with that stuff after hours of searching to get the basical how-to. It's like all people using this stuff was aware of the how-to even before it was released (?)

Please, would you consider give me (and possible other readers coming here) just a few hints on how to start, once Magisk and fBind are installed ? Let's say I want Pictures and Whatsapp redirected to SD card with fBind, what must I exactly do ? Thank you very much for your reading, I hope you'll get a few minutes to help !

If not, I guess I will end up in trying something like the App2SD app, however, I'd rather feel less dumb and understand better how Magisk works :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bitman7:
Hi,

just type "fbind" from an elevated terminal to call up the wizard (i.e. su<ENTER> fbind<ENTER>). You'll be presented a menu, from my notes you should choose "m) Media to external" and follow the instructions (it will ask you for paths to folders that you want moved to your SD card, such as DCIM/Camera). The contents of the internal storage folders will be automatically moved to the bound folders on the SD card (e.g. DCIM from the internal storage will be copied to .fbind/DCIM on the SD card). Thanks to binding, the same contents will still be visible in both folders.

The wizard works by creating and editing a "/data/adb/vr25/fbind-data/config.txt" file which you can also edit manually if you are feeling adventurous.

Hope this helps,

Bitman.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivec:
Thanks a lot for your answer(s), however, I still don't know at all which terminal you're talking about ? ... Also, I have no access to any "/data/adb/vr25/fbind-data/" directory, at least with windows with USB. What am I missing, please ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bitman7:
You can use any terminal emulator app (I'm using Terminal Emulator but there are literally thousands - chances are you have one pre-installed). If you're familiar with Linux, it's just the same as a Linux command prompt terminal. If you are familiar with Windows, it's similar to a command prompt window where you type commands.

The /data directory is not accessible from Windows via USB, at least not normally (you only have access to a subset of the root directory); you'll need root access. There may be Windows apps for root access to Android devices out there, but I never used any. I use X-plore File Manager on my phone.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivec:
Allright, thank you so much ! Sorry for such a noob question but I just never tried to use linux on my phone before... I also get better now why adding SU for an app, such as for an explorer might be useful. I still have to find out a few things but you just saved my day... And maybe more :P
[Google Pixel 6] androidbuff123:
I honestly feel this device has been grossly misrepresented by several youtube reviewers. I don't think Google is to be blamed for the hype. I think the youtube reviewers got this wrong from the get-go. Everybody thought the Tensor chip, updated camera specs, android 12, lower-than-typical price point etc is simply going to route the competition. All that is public generated and not google. But then when the units started to come out, people were going ga ga over it over and over. But then I've had the device for a while now and sadly, i don't share their enthusiasm. I am almost scratching my head and wondering what the hell are these reviewers smoking? Trust me, there is no "issue" with my particular unit. My unit is just fine. However, my complaints are..

1. Camera is not that great. it's good. but not distinctly better than a Samsung or iphone. And what's with it taking a few seconds to "process" all the time?

2. The front camera is laughably bad. Maybe not for still pictures.. but when using it for video calling on duo or Whatsapp it is so freaking grainy like as if it's coming from a 2012 smartphone.

3. The build quality - The phone is a bit too dense for it's size. I have the S21 ultra and even though that is a bigger phone, it feels lighter and thinner in the hand. The Pixel 6 feels like a heavy rock.

4. The auto brightness is wonky. We all know this already. How could google get the autobrightness so badly wrong is mind boggling.

5. The software is good, but honestly I think Samsung has done a great job with one ui 4. I HATE that I have to click things twice to turn off the internet.

6. Why is there no facial unlock? Ridiculous!!! especially considering the fingerprint scanner is a POS. Plus one can't expand notifications from the lockscreen without a facial unlock. Fingerprint scanner unlock will bring you to the home screen.

7. Did I mention the phone is too dense for it's size? Extremely slippery without a case and with a case too bulky than it already is.

8. I always find it interesting that no other phone on the market has as good a network connectivity as Samsung. Samsung phones simply latch on and have good network connectivity. The Pixel 6 is OK.. .. nothing to ride home about.

9. The phone was so hard to find stocked anywhere.. Google completely botched it.

Do any of you guys have any more to contribute to the list? I
[Google Pixel 6] vandyman:
You might get the answers you are looking for on Whatsapp or Facebook.

Buying a $600 vs a $1000 phone is some of the real answer.
[Google Pixel 6] androidbuff123:
Your comment is implying that Google took some really cheap shortcuts to make the phone deliberately this bad and you are saying "you get what you pay for.. don't expect anything more for $600".

I don't think that is the case here. The two back camera lenses are exactly the same from the 6 pro. The chip is the same. The software is the same. I am sure google making this device more dense than a rock has nothing to do with cutting cost. Overall, I think it's just really bad and sloppy design choices and QAQC on google's part.
[Google Pixel 6] vandyman:
Samsungs $1000 phone has the better camera.

Pixel 6 pro has the 4x zoom.

I do not use a cell phone for photography, the Camara on a cell phone is for taking quick pictures of a convenient moment.

LIke I said you will get more people to agree with you on social media. They are a hell of lot smarter people than here on XDA. 😏

[Google Pixel 6] axelmasok:
Depends what you are coming from and what one compares against. Is comparing with an S21 really fair?
[Google Pixel 6] androidbuff123:
No I am not really comparing with S21 Ultra. I mentioned that phone to say it feels lighter and thinner than the immensely dense design of the pixel 6. Another recent issue I've been noticing is how Google assistant a> does not give a audible feedback when invoked from the lockscreen or elsewhere and b> it gets randomly activated with noises from the TV (which are not saying the keywords).

I am going to wait until Google pushes the next update and see if that hopefully fixes most if not all of these issues. Google is really screwing the pooch on this one.
[Google Pixel 6] chaimav:
I am not sure if density is the issue, to me the issue is more about balance. I feel the huge camera bar makes it top-heavy and therefore a bit awkward to hold.
[Google Pixel 6] XmlNode:
I am satisfied with the Pixel 6. I did my research before buying it, so no surprise on my side. However, I can imagine that some folks found the articles about the best phone of the year and thought that it is altogether better than the flagships, like S21 Ultra. It is not at all about beating everyone. What I got is a reasonable phone for a reasonable price. That's it from my side.

The parity of information is there, you can find all information on the Internet. Actually, we have too many options, so most of the buyers would be less and less happier buying something because of their FOMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Ruudvan10101:
Hello everyone

I have Samsung Tab S3 since it's release in 2017 .. and it was a very nice tab till a couple months ago ..

It started restarting by itself .. and it happenes always when I'm not using it or when I'm pausing a video ..

And when I leave it for a couple hours i find out that it's turned off and it can't be turned on till I hard restart it ..

I tried :

Emptying the battery to the end then recharge and didn't work.

Removing SD card and didn't work.

Entering safe mode and still restarted.

Wipe cash partition didn't work.

Factory reset and didn't work.

And finally flash stock ROM with Odin without rooting .. problem not solved

When I put the tab on power saver the restarting takes so much longer to happen ..

Could it be a hardware related thing? Or a battery thing?

Thank you in advanced for your help

*Edit 1 (problem fixed) : I rooted my tablet and installed Kernel Auditor app and changed the governor to Userspace and set the minimum frequency of the CPU to 422 instead of 307 and made the app do the settings change on boot . After this it had not restarted for 3 days.

*Edit 2 lately I flashed lineageOS unofficial 18.1 android 11 into the tablet and edited the big clusters only to interval governor while keeping the small ones with blue schedule. My tablet now is working like a charm with no issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Has the battery SOT time noticeably decreased?

If below 80% of its original capacity it's time to replace it.

Any swelling is a battery failure, replace asap.

Changes in charging behavior could indicate a failure as well.

Has it been dropped or exposed to moisture? You see where this is going... mobos can also randomly fail.

Does it happen in safe mode?

Check it to rule out 3rd party apps.

Original rom, don't update the system apps, all power management should be disabled.

Pull SD card if it has one for now before reload.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Ruudvan10101:
Thank you for replying

*After the restarting it gets stuck and shuts down and you have to turn it on by (down+power), if you turn it on immediately you have the same battery percentage but if I let it through the night and force turning it on the battery is decreased alot, it looks like when the tab is off after the freezing and restarting it is consuming alot of battery even if it's off.

*I tried the safe mode it still restarts

*I went to the beach 6 months ago and it stopped charging because of the moisture for about a week then it got back to its normal state

*I noticed that When I boot into (downloading mode) or (recovery mode) it stays on for days and doesn't restart or freeze

If you got salt water in it, it's already dead.

Needs to be pulled apart and inspected for corrosion damage. Sorry...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Ruudvan10101:
You mean the motherboard or the battery is dead ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
If the mobo got salt water on it or even water in it can destroy it. Current flow greatly accelerates corrosion.

The tab needs be dissembled*, dried and inspected for damage especially where there's high current flow and exposed conductors.

Sooner is better...

*pull battery connector asap
