LOL - I should have expected that on this forum, but seriously the Orange Rom seems fine - fast, with no Orange customization. My only issue is the radio version. GSM coverage could be better. So I may update the radio, then who knows - I'll end up putting new roms on each week !!!!!!!

Brand new phone, spicy pillow smell?

Hello,

I just got bought a poco f3 phone a few hours ago and the whole box that it came in smells very very sweet. Also the phone itself, around the charging port has that same smell.

Its very difficult to explain, but almost like skittles. My old poco x3 NFC did not have that smell at all.

Can someone confirm that this is normal and I'm not going crazy? My brain tells me that it smells like a swollen battery, but the phone is brand new?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] TheBrutalLicker:
This was the most unexpected thread title of the year, just before deadline - congratz! ;)

Can confirm no skittles smell, cinnamon bun or any other sweets. Can't recommend sugar as fuel, would go with a healthier diet.

Jokes aside, a swollen battery would be physically noticeable by a bulge or leakage. There's no dead space in the casing allowing for a battery to swell unnoticed. Not familiar with any other malfunctions leading to smelling sweet.

EDIT:

I do know a few stores which usually includes some sweets in their packaging. Was your phone pre-installed with google play, or global ROM? Personell might have been eating candy at their work bench.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Zinnz:
You must have a really good nose lol. I don't smell anything on mine, nor recall any odd smells.

The smell should go away on its own, and you could try some rubbing alcohol on a piece of paper towel, and give it a gentle rub down.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Behras:
I wish - I didn't mention it but its clearly chemical-ish smell, so definitely not stuck candy in the charging port.

An hour after writing this post, I opened my closet and a box with bunch of old phones. Noticed the same smell - iPhone 6 bloated so much that the screen cracked. I'm pretty sure I'll need to call the store tomorrow and try to get them to take it back.

Hello All

I have many problems with my touch pro but this is the biggest one and it is really bugging me ......When somebody calls me the screen doesnt change the phone rings and everything but the phone stays on the today screen and i have to answer without knowing who is calling me .....

This problem heppens in like 40% of my calls so plz if someone have had this problem before and did fix it .....i would really appreciate the help
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sinist3r:
That's wierd... never had this... sometimes i have lag with the caller id popping up on screen... but eventually it is showing.

Maybe you should try a hard reset?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] twisted-pixel:
I've had this a few times too. The buttons flash, the phone rings, but the screen just shows the today screen. It hasn't happened very often..maybe 6 or 7 times, but it is very annoying
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NisseDILLIGAF:
This happened to me too...

I found out that it was a app I had installed that was cousing the problem..

(cant remember which one now... maybe S2U2? or a combination of different call apps)

Think I had to install then uninstall S2U2 again for it to work...(or other app)

check what apps you have or had...

try removing them... or installing old one and uninstalling them again..

and dont forget to softreset... (you should try that first, if u haven't done it)

Only apps that have something to do with calls... not gps, picture app and so on... ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] venom037:
agree with above... apps will conflict with WM system. To be 100% sure (the long way) I would hard reset everything and install one app per day or 2 days to make sure that ur problem doesnt come back.. if one it comes back, u will know which app is causing this.

but that's just me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] twisted-pixel:
as a comparison then with adool.

I'm running,

SPB Mobile Shell

SPB Backup

schapps advanced config 3.3

Fast Switch skins for SPB MS 3.1

Resco explorer and registry add in

and that's it!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] venom037:
if i had to guess, i would guess that either Fast Switch skins for SPB MS 3.1 or SPB Mobile Shell is screwing up ur phone.... SPB Mobile Shell when u install it, there is a bug for the HTC that the task manager at the top right cornor disappears and even after u unstall SPB Mobile Shell, its still gone. the only way to get it back is to hard reset.... thats my ecperience for both Touch Pro and Touch Dual... I could be wrong but thats my guess.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] adool75:
Thank you all ....i have tried all of the things you suggested except hard reset just because i dont know how and i still have this annoying problem ....anyway really thank you guys for your help
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] venom037:
hard reset = volume down button + center select button (center circle) + reset button (using stylus in bottom hole at bottom of phone)

press above all at the same time and wait for screen instructions.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ty949:
Same issue

It's with S2u2 something in the settings I can't figure it out turned it off but I love it! It's the only way I can see my appointments.:)

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] skipster:
Hello,

I am stuck, searching and WIKI-reading did not help.

I am running MR1 on a XV6800. Attempting to flash a PPCKITCHEN or pre-made ROM. Copied TITAIMG.nbh to a FAT32-formatted 1g SD card. Entered bootloader and got the tri-color screen. SPL is 2.07. Goes to the LOADING screen and hangs there, doing nothing. battery removal removal/re-insertion brings back the device to functional, but of course nothing changes. Tried the RUU/Activesync method as well, but it times out with 0% progress.

What am I doing wrong? Ran nuespl247, same thing when it went into bootloader.

I have flashed ROMS before on a 6700, but my attempts on the 6800 keep coming to the same roadblock.

Thanks in advance

Skip

I'm sure I'm missing something but for the life of me I have no clue what.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] skipster:
Nevermind

Ran the HardSPL process to update the Bootloader. All is well. Happily cooking and flashing!

There's no playground in camera app. I have tried installed manually, but still nothing happened. Is there someone konws how to enable the playground in the camera app? 🤓🤓🤓
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Joynaruto:
I also have tried to install gcam mod cover. The playground appears but with nothing happened when I click it😭😭
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] CrashTestDroid:
All my AR stickers from early Pixels are gone. Didn't Google delete that whole concept before the Pixel 4?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TonikJDK:
You are correct, I didn't know that.

Google won't support Playground and AR Stickers on newer Pixel phones

Google Playground and its AR Stickers won't be happening on the Pixel 4a or future Pixels. The features will still get support on current models, though.

www.androidauthority.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Joynaruto:
First of all, both my pixel 2 xl and pixel 4 xl can use stickers normally.I searched a lot of posts. Since the pixel 5, stickers have been cancelled.But from the entry of the sticker that can be displayed by installing a third-party Google camera, although you can’t click it, it can be concluded that Google should cancel the sticker entry in the latest version of the camera. So I think there may be a certain version of third-party Google Camera that supports stickers. We can look for it together. Or is there a master who can make a module that can be directly activated in the native camera?I really hope to use stickers on pixel 6! ! !

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Joynaruto:
Pixel 6 Pro Can only take pictures,Taking a video will cause a crash
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bdizzle1686:
Gotcha. I own a 4A, and was disappointed at the fact that Google discontinued Playground for the 4a, & all future pixels, so I created a clone of the APK file, removed some permissions out of the manifest, and got it fully working on the 4a (other than accessing it from the camera app, you have to actually manually create a shortcut to the modded Playground and add it to the homescreen), I'll see if I can do some more tinkering..
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Joynaruto:
First of all, thank you very much for your hard work and dedication! I finally opened the playground on Pixel 6 Pro! Thank you so much! I followed your method and created a shortcut on the pixel launcher using the shortcut creater. I also entered the playground through this shortcut. After entering, he will pop up some permission prompts, I allow them all. After testing, short press to take a photo after adding a sticker works well, but long press to take a video will cause a crash. I don't know why, please help me!

My Phone is pixel 6 Pro based on Android 12.
[Oppo Find N] komali2:
I've watched a couple reviews of this phone and people keep saying oh the YouTube app sucks because YouTube is banned in the PRC or whatever, but the phone is widely available here in Taiwan, and taiwanese people use Google apps extensively. So perhaps optimizations will come before oppo does a more international release (it's already internationally released since Taiwan isn't the PRC lol). I'm gonna go check out the phone today at an oppo shop so will get an idea then. Would he funny if I could somehow grab Samsung's version of some apps to throw on there.
[Oppo Find N] danilos2k:
Hi Komali2 do you have any news?
[Oppo Find N] scrumptyous:
I got my phone from giztop and my YouTube works flawlessly. It came with Google Play Services installed I downloaded YouTube and the bonus is its full screen.

It feels incredible in hand though

I've already buy with Giztop and now i wait the delivery to my country (Belgium).

I ask to Giztop that keep my box sealed and not open ... then i must instal myself Play Store.

I hope fast delivery and no duties tax because seller said to me no duties.

For the installlation of the apk of Play Store, there is a tuto ?

Easy ?

Where can i found official and last apk for Playstore ?
[Oppo Find N] conceptgate:
I installed Google Play from apkmirror (just search for goole play apk on google.co.uk - first hit). The latest right now is

Version: 28.8.17-21 [0] [PR] 420363821 (82881710) arm64-v8a. Google services are already installed on the Find N, so you just need to install the Goople Play APK, download your apps, set GBoard as the default keyboard, and then it acts mostly like a western ROM after that.

Note: apkmirror and and some of the other sites like apkpure, are fairly safe; *but* sideloading apk files is always at your own risk.
[Oppo Find N] Bond@007:
OK, i think apkpure and apkmirror are trusted sources and safe ... but never sure at 100% !
[Oppo Find N] juankar7:

Hi, Find N in my hands and i love it VERY VERY VERY much !

For me, it's the perfect form factor and and build quality seem very good.

I've use the app for clonage from Oppo to clone my Note 9 to my Find N.

Then Playstore is transfered but not work.

Then i uninstal Playstore and download new apk from apk pure and apk mirror but nothing work for Playstore.

Could you help me ?
[Oppo Find N] conceptgate:
Odd; I setup the phone from scratch and then used the latest apk from apk mirror and it all worked fine. Only thing I can think of is that the google services have been overwritten by your Note 9 versions? Try reverting those?
[Oppo Find N] Bond@007:
How can i reverting because i've already delete old Playstore apk and download new from apk mirror but it's the same...
[Oppo Find N] babaorum1973:
Hi, my working version installed by Giztop is not the last one it's 28-817-21 but it works flawlessly
[Oppo Find N] conceptgate:
I was talking about the Google play services, not the Play store itself. The Google Play services would have come with the phone and are needed for the Play store to work. Your clone from Note 9 may have overwritten/updated the version that comes with the phone. If you go to Settings -> Apps -> App Management - Google Play Services -> Uninstall Updates (top right corner 3 dot menu), that might work?

The Play store itself had to be side loaded for me as it didn't come with the phone; but Google Play Services were already installed.
[Oppo Find N] Bond@007:
I don't understand but now Play Store work ! It's strange but it's ok ...

- I wish replace default app messages by Signal but not work.

- I make settings for some apps in full screen but i need make also settings for rotation ...

- After that, i need with adb configure Nova Launcher Prime.

I progress slowly but this phone is Amazing !!!
[Oppo Find N] conceptgate:
Good to hear you got the Play store working; was it the fix I mentioned above that worked?

Regarding changing the default SMS app, apparently others are strugging with that (some want to change to Google messages for group messaging), and they can set it as the default, but the phone reverts or overrides this back to the original factory installed one. I'm not sure if there is a solution yet, but check one of the other threads. I tend to try not to fight the phone, and anyhow don't use SMS much so not an issue for me; and I have Whatsapp/Wechat/Telegram, etc. just as separate apps I use.

Regarding the settings for full screen for some apps being rotated to vertical when you open them; you can install Rotation apps from Google Play that force rotation (see this thread - https://xdaforums.com/t/force-full-screen-on-all-aps-and-force-rotation-to-landscape.4386573/); but I find that it is best to just set those apps to 4:3 aspect ration rather than full screen, as they generally don't need or use the extra full screen width anyway; and then they just work correctly when the phone is either folded or unfolded without the Rotation apps.

Again, look at the other threads for Nova and adb, but so far those who have installed it using adb find it has quirks (like if you swipe up on the home screen it keeps flipping between Nova and the original launcher, and the dock is on the right edge instead of bottom); but this is another one where I think is it better not to fight the phone, and the default launcher is quite good if you give it a chance.

Hey guys,

currently trying to mod the default Vivo X70 Pro Plus Camera app and I am wondering if this is possible at all.

The Problem is: I do not have root and cant overwrite system applications.

Now I'm thinking: Is it possible to rename the app and package to install it as a new app instead of overwriting the existing camera app?

[Android Head-Units] TgToyotaOwner:
I'm mainly responding to my own post in case someone else is considering a T'eyes unit. I purchased one and I highly under estimated what is involved with getting these units to work. The T'eyes cc3 in my car may go up for auction - just too much of it is unusable.

Note that if you do not like tweeking your cell phone, you might not like these units to begin with - don't expect they'll just work out of the box. Consider hours if not days to configure these things. Also, look at the back of the units - this one came with a 'Toyota" harness which is a bunch of wires to convert all the cables in the back. And it isn't a single harness of wires - it's multiple bags of cables that you have to pick and choose from. You have extra cables and I'm pretty sure the set is missing cables. My car has 2 cables where I only have one adapter that matches them in all harness wiring. So one is unplugged. I have no idea what each cable from my car is used for. But most of the wires only have a single place they can connect in the primary harness. It's all a confusing mess even though I think I have 90% connected to the correct spots.

Not all units are made this way. There is going to be something converting the cables, but some units have some sort of box on the back that has all the cabling converting done for you - so it looks like the cables from the car attach into the unit directly. After my harness was attached, I did not have cables that match everything coming from the car. I feel like that is why things like my my surround cameras do not work. I also have no back up camera working now. That is a pretty big deal.

Also, car play isn't all I thought it would be. It seems to only mirror Apple written apps to the device. I can install apps onto the unit and connect to my phones hotspot, but the connection is very flaky. Unless you are willing to connect the unit with its own sim card, you may be severely limited. I wanted to be able to stream youtube and such while making a weekly 90 minute drive I make. Well, this just doesn't happen because half the time the unit will not connect to my hotspot. It usually connects within 30 minutes of me driving, but I haven't found a reliable way to get it to connect to the hotspot. Usually I'm driving with my phone playing through my phone speakers because audio streaming won't work with wifi/hotspot.

All in all, I wouldn't purchase this again. If I were going to attempt again, I'd go with one of the models that removes the 'harness' from the equation.
