[G1 Apps and Games] beartard:
Again, beware of sites that:

* contain software older than 23 October

Software not updated for Android 1.0 could harm your phone

* do not say who submitted the software or link back to them

I'd want software submitted by the developer, with a link to check version information.

* do not test the software they peddle, especially if money is involved

If a site can't guarantee that software will run on my phone and not harm it, I don't want it.

No 3rd party site has a kill switch ;)

Like people have been saying since before this platform was released, with the open nature of the development structure, the door is wide open. Make sure you're standing in it with a gun.

Just re-injecting some caveat-emptor common sense.
[G1 Apps and Games] sfdteam:
Check and bookmark the FIRST directory of Android Freeware! ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] sfdteam:
beartard, what a nice bunch of tips! Here are my comments:

Right! Those, which were compiled with old SDKs are not compatible in most of the cases with the one and only device :) We are going to recompile where possible our whole collection and believe me it's a pain in the butt :)

Not entirely agree with that. Developers are mega lazy to submit their software other than their homepages. I would recommend to check the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at first. A reputable site should always have it.

Normally you pay money if the app saves you much more money by making you much more productive. To be honest, as for now there are not much apps of that kind for Android. So better tryout some free stuff.

Yeah, take better a bazooka :) All curious users will need to try and fail before they find their "golden set of apps" and then stick to them. It's nice to have forums like that where they can exchange experiences and recommend stuff to each other.
[G1 Apps and Games] nick_karstedt:
Be careful with this site, it contains some older apps. One of them messed up my phone and I had to do a factory reset. Every time I was at the home screen one of the Android processes kept crashing. Pretty easy to fix but reinstalling all of my apps was a bit of a pain.
[G1 Apps and Games] sfdteam:
Hey Nick, what was this application exactly, which crashed so badly your phone?
[G1 Apps and Games] beartard:
Thanks for the comments. Please don't think I was trashing your site (or any other one in particular). I'm just a "consumer advocate" when it comes to things like this.
[G1 Apps and Games] nick_karstedt:
I think it was one of the file managers, but I'm not sure. I installed quite a few apps and it started acting up a bit later.
[G1 Apps and Games] sfdteam:
Nick, are you sure about that? There are 4 file managers on the site:

Manage 1.2

Android File Browser 2.0

Android File Browser 1.0.0

File System Explorer

None of them should you be able to install on your G1, because:

All four apps were compiled with old compilers, contained in old SDK releases of Android OS. Old .apk packages are mostly not compatible with T-Mobile G1's Dalvik, which uses new APIs supplies with the latest SDK version 1.0.

All four apps were NOT DIGITALLY SIGNED. G1's security policy doesn't permit unsigned apps to be installed on the device.

So your accusations that apps from our site screwed your phone look very suspicious to me. Especially that in the same thread you hail the link of Mr. Veselin Nedev (aka Veselin Nedeff, baksanir), whose site blatantly copy-pastes content from our site and hotlinks to our .APK files. So, whether you go from their site or ours you come to the same files, which are served by our server. How it can be then that only apps from our site damage your phone?

Anyway, I'll double check those 4 apps to find the true.

Update: after our notification baksanir removed the hotlinks to our site and changed descriptions of the apps.

I am about to create a stt service based on Deepspeech. Right now I check the docu for hints how to register a stt service. I find a lot about how to integrate it in an app, but few hints about how to manage your own service.

There is a service called Konele, but its outdated. The android docu only lists stuff related to text so speech, but not vice versa. Many thanks for hints!

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fonsocruise:
Hi guys!

I know this is the million dollar question. I've recently grabbed a Pixel C for really cheap. I used to have one back when they came out but broke and never got another one till now.

So the question now in 2022 is :cowboy:

-What ROM would you use for max stability and that everything or almost everything works ?

Any help will be appreciated 👀
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geeba:
Funnily enough I've just dropped by to ask this! - doesn't look like you've been flooded with advice :D

I have just fired up my Pixel C and would like to put something more upto date on it as Oreo is looking very dated now....

Maybe the LOS ROM?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tabormeister:
+1 for LOS. I'm using 18.1 but thinking about going to 19.1
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fonsocruise:
Yeah this device is kinda dead around here but got the answer myself anyway lol. I'm using Lineage 18.1 and so far so good. It's a complete different device. Totally recommended.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geeba:
Ahhh appreciate the reply - the hardware still feels pretty nice so I'm surprised its gone out of favor... don't suppose you have a guide that you used... apparently the pixel isn't easy to flash?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tabormeister:
It's pretty easy, follow instructions for TWRP flashing and then follow instructions in LOS thread

[Shadow General] SEALBoy:
Well... I was just reading a Shadow review at Phonearena (http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/T-Mobile-Shadow-Review-review-r_1874-p_3.html). And... well...

This was the normal 920mAh battery. What black magic be this?
[Shadow General] ashasaur:
Who knows man, but that simply is not true, the standard will give you MAYBE 3.5-4 hours of talk time, and thats without data of any kind, but new Shadows come with the extended battery for free now anyways, so its not that big of a problem.
[Shadow General] SEALBoy:
My guess is that they hooked it up with the USB cable and didn't notice it was charging...

Does the extended battery's extra bulk get in the way or feel weird/uncomfortable? I hope not. 5 more days, then I'm eligible to get a full discount upgrade to a Shadow :D
[Shadow General] ashasaur:
I dont think so, it creates a nice ridge for pushing the screen up with, instead of the back just being flat, plus the extended battery is awesome, I get like 7-8 hours of talk time out of it.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] Aogeol:
Hi! My phone fell off recently and the screen suddenly turned black with some dead pixels coming when tapping the unlock button or the fingerprint. So the phone is working but alas the screen is not functional. I´m going to send it over to google since I have warranty over it, but I´d like to know if there´s any way to backup any files I can from it (pictures mostly, audio, video...) before I mail it off and lose it forever.

When I plug the phone to the PC with USB cable I get the usb sound and the phone seems to charge, but I cannot select USB data transfer mode. Any idea of how could I take my files? Thank you all!

Hi, I cannot seem to get my AC3.2 to save my settings. I used it to hide SIM contacts from my contacts, and after a soft reset, the sim contacts are visible once again!

The other thing is, my university uses a WPA and PEAP wifi encryption thing (sorry, I don't really know much about networking), and I cannot seem to connect. I put all my settings in correctly, entered my username and password as instructed (I am required to enter it in), and I cannot connect. What happens is I press "Connect", and it just kinda blinks, but nothing happens..

Any ideas? Thanks

Hello all. Looking into purchasing a pad 5 with 256gb storage global version.

Question is can a 3rd party launcher like Nova launcher for example be install and set as default without issue? Or would it be better with gsi custom ROM?

From what I read Pixel experience 11+ with audio stutter fix and Bluetooth audio fix is best? Did tap to wake ever get fix?

[G1 General] respider:
Can anyone explain me about this activation needed in G1?

There are unlocked versions of G1 in ebay, what does that mean? You can only use the voice, no data?

Will there be an official no-activation-needed version or it will be tmobile's forever?

Thanks!
[G1 General] nxt:
Unlocked only means it's SIM unlocked, meaning you can use the phone to make calls on other networks like AT&T.

The G1's 3G is NOT compatible with AT&T's 3G though.

The "activation" is simple entering a gmail account for the phone for it to be able to use and go to the home screen.
[G1 General] felicita:
Can I activate my unlocked g1 without tmo sim card?
[G1 General] respider:
so "activation" is basically linking the phone to a google account, so you can sync email, calendar, data, etc?

Its lame use G1 without activating?

if the cellphone is unlocked you can use 3G without activating? Its 2100mhz, right?
[G1 General] driz:
who told you the g1 wont work on at&t's 3g? they lied. dont spread bad info. The g1 works fine on at&t's 3g.
[G1 General] nxt:
The G1 uses 1700/2100, AT&T's is only 2100, not compatible.
[G1 General] Mikey:
First off where are you located? Where is the phone located?

In the USA you can not use it on at&t 3g network. If the phone is in europe or Asia, you will be able to use 3g with a at&t sim in it.

It all depends where the phone is at the time of usage.
[G1 General] Mikey:
T-Mobile 3G uses 1700 and 2100. AT&T 3G uses 850 and 1900.
[G1 General] ranger7424:
Its not a lie, it is fact AT&T's 3g works on a different frequency than T-Mobiles here in the states.
[G1 General] demontefixo:
sigh. The phone is capable of hitting the ATT frequencies. Yes, ATT uses a different set than TMo, but no big deal.

[G1 General] slothy_punk:
On the paper yes it is, I agree with you, g1 hardware capable of doing it. But does anybody here ever try it at this current time? you know sometimes on the paper is not exactly the same when you actually try by urself, it could renders att card cant be use because of app issue and so on

[G1 General] ranger7424:
Good job you have proven that the G1 will work on AT&T out of country. The facts are checked, i have verified this with this and other forums as well as reputable T-Mo employees. The fact is other countries use a variety of frequencies and the G1 will most likely work on a lot of them.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Flying Fox:
Yes, after a mistake of mine my phone is now bricked with the message on the screen: device is corrupt; means I also can't get into fastboot mode anymore.

I recently switched to Linux (mint) and have little experience here, I'm also not a computer nerd.

Does anyone know if or how it is possible to unbrick my device under Linux? Alternatively I would still have an old Mac.

The Internet search has really brought nothing. Am grateful for any help.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TENlll423:
I had the same issue once.

How I fixed it was I got it into fastboot mode, I then switched slots...

If your phone is set to active on the wrong slot it will show that it is corrupt...

I'm not sure if this is your exact situation but if it is hopefully this will help.. Cheers
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Flying Fox:
Thanks. The thing is, I don´t know, how I come out of this "corrupt device mode" into fastboot mode. My case is, that I wanted to lock the bootloader; than this happened... I neither know how to get into fastboot mode, neither what to do next....
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TENlll423:
Hold all three buttons in and it should boot to fastboot mode takes like 10 to 15 sec.

That happened to my friend he tried to lock his phone and it ended up in the same situation..

So he typed in "OEM unlock" cuz it was halfway locked or bricked however you want to look at it. Lol

Then type "fastboot devices" and so on.....,
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TENlll423:
I know you can type in "fastboot getvar all"

That will show you the current slot you're in..

Then enter "fastboot set_active a or b"

That will get you on the slot that you should be able to boot into no problem...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] djsubterrain:
You could try making a virtual machine, load Windows into it and try the normal MSM tool? Hopefully the USB passthrough would work:

OP9Pro - Repository of MSM Unbrick Tools (TMO, EU, GLO, IN)

By using these tools, you accept full responsibility for your actions. Your warranty is void should you run any of these utilities without OnePlus support present. I am not responsible for bricks, fires, nuclear war, etc. If you modified any...

Thanks so much, but unfortunately it says: device doesn´t support....

Thx, but I think I will loose guaranty after using the tool. And I don´t know how to create a virtual machine... sounds crazy..

In worst case I will send my phone back and let it "repair".

Thanks to everybody.. nice to see how many people want to help :)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TENlll423:
Keep asking around just because it's on that devices corrupt screen does not mean your phone is bricked my phone has been like that probably three different times and I've always recovered it..
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Zeus0fyork:
I'm case this happens in the future you can split your hard drive into two partitionss and choose which os to boot when you restart. Can you get into edl?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Flying Fox:
Thanks everybody, just saw ur answers. Found my old notebook with windows 7 and linux dualboot today and tried via MSM-Tool. "Device not found". Somehow I was not able to install Qualcom drivers which could be the reason for.

Reason for bricking was my own fault. Somehow the unlock slider in the developer settings was on off and greyed out (after factory reset). Then I did the mistake in fastboot mode to type "fastboot oem lock".. U should never do this ;) .. but I don´t know if I have any chance to get it to run in this case....
[OnePlus 9 Pro] djsubterrain:
The MSM Tool does NOT void your warranty. OnePlus has confirmed this a few times. It's what they provide in the direst of circumstances but a lot of people just use it now to perform a "complete reset" back to factory settings. It should always work because it uses the primary Qualcomm bootloader.

If your phone is not being recognised then it's likely because driver signing is enabled so Windows is not recognising the EDL drivers.

Check my post here for more info : https://xdaforums.com/t/completely-bricked-someone-help.4298085/post-85251113
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Flying Fox:
Late answer due to personal reasons. Thanks for that info. But on my older notebook I´ve still windows 7. Try to find a solution or bring the device back when I´m "fit" again. Thx anyway!!!

EDIT: Problem solved. Couldn´t boot into the EDL-mode, therefore my phone was not recognized. Getting there was a little tricky because the display remained black... that I could not even notice that the phone was already in EDL mode,.In the end but great thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] Jupit3r:
Power Consumption and noise

View attachment 5524627

With such a beefy processor inside, the GTR5 is not technically a low-power system. Still, it should be more energy-conservative than a full-sized desktop PC. In terms of power consumption, we saw some fairly solid figures.

The system stays fairly quiet under light loads, but if you run heavy CPU/ GPU workloads the fans spin up and it certainly gets louder. However, the noise is never too much of an issue, and easily gets drown out by other sound in your surroundings.

Connectivity

View attachment 5524629

View attachment 5524631

The GTR5 supports the latest WiFi 6E technology, also known as WiFi 6 Extended. It allows the PC to use the 6GHz band, which in return brings more bandwidth, faster speeds, and lower latency, opening up resources for future innovations like AR/VR, 8K streaming, and more. In additon, you also have two 2.5Gbps ethernet jacks, which offer all kinds of internet possibilities.

The HDMI, DP and Type-C ports all support video output up to 4K@60Hz, so you can connect the GTR5 to as many as 3 displays at the same time. This can be very helpful if you have some complex productivity tasks at hand.

Verdict

The Beelink GTR5 is a powerhouse in a tiny package. It has a beefy processor, packs a slew of I/O, and offers a broad range of features such as fingerprint unlock and superb networking. The tiny case is beautiful and rock-solid, the vast array of designs improves value and versatility.

However, it is not cheap. The 32GB/500GB model retails for $799, while the 64GB/1TB version will cost you even more. In the same price range, you can get a base model of the Apple M1 powered MAC mini, or a complete Intel NUC 11 system with memory, storage, and an OS. The GTR5 is obviously more feature-packed than the other two, but you cannot overlook Apple and Intel’s brand power.

If size doesn’t matter that much to you, a large DIY system of similar performance can save you quite a fortune yet give you more expansion room for later upgrades. But if you want the tiniest computer possible for all the computing you may need, there aren’t many SFF PCs more qualified than the Beelink GTR5 out there.

You can check the screenshots of those benchmarks here:

i called t mobile twice last night and they didnt seem to care at all about the situation so a google search led me here

is there anything we can do to get this thing unlocked so it can be use on att? any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. i dont mind paying if necessary

regards
[OnePlus 9] CLE12283:
the account originally associated with the phone must be in good standings. must also be paid off. if you can confirm those through imei etc, then try going into settings, about phone, scroll down until you see network unlock. go for the permanent option.
[OnePlus 9] Imbmfk:
That was the first thing we tried
[OnePlus 9] CLE12283:
so the phone is not financially compromised and the original account is in good standing? run the imei number on a blacklist checker. most likely your son bought a paper weight.
[OnePlus 9] Timmmmaaahh!:
┤Thread Cleaned + Closed├

Please do not throw accusations at each other. If there is any suspicion of illegal activity, just hit that report button and we'll be happy to investigate. In any case: don't try to moderate it yourself.

@Imbmfk Imagine your device was stolen, I'm sure you would appreciate that the people who took it would be unable to use your device. I do understand that this can bring problems on the second hand market but this is of no concern to XDA. I assume you speak the truth but even then our community will not be able to assist as any unlock solutions would be considered illegal. Which takes us to:

I can only advise you to get in touch with the seller and/or the platform your son has bought the device on.

Thank you all for your time, have an amazing day and stay safe out there!
