The Zinc-II is a decent device for the price, BUT the GPS takes quite some time to acquire its initial position fix, and if you go into areas where the signal coverage is weak it will quickly lose the signal.

The keyboard is useless, it is like typing on a slab of illuminated plastic there is no feedback from the keys at all.

The screen is one of the best I have seen on a PDA, very vibrant colours and excellent contrast, battery life is good, although the battery meter seems to have a mind of its own

I have been using the Zinc-II for a number of months now, it is far from the best device, but for the price it is a good buy - Mike

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saggiskate:
Hello everyone,

after unsubscribing from an internet + TV package, the old operator has left this TV box in my house. The problem is that it is blocked, that is to say, when I start it I get a message that the box is blocked and that I should contact Agile Tv to solve it (which I am not going to do). The Amazon and Netflix buttons work, but nothing else and I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to reinstall a clean version of android TV to this box to be able to use it.

Regards

P.S: Sorry if my English is very bad.

I advise you to install projectivity launcher
[Android Head-Units] dishe2:
Before you ask, yes- this is not a feature of the car, but the head unit. The car cuts the power to the ignition/acc wire when the key is turned off immediately, and the Atoto S8 gen 2 shuts off the display as expected. However, it does not "sleep" the app or shut down peripherals like USB ports and Wifi for a solid 5 min after.

I have a wireless charger as well as some accessories connected to some of the USB ports, and they continue to stay illuminated and drawing power even after I left the car. The Wifi too, and this is a more annoying issue as if I'm using, for example, a shared hotspot from the head unit's SIM card or have a wireless AA setup, it doesn't kill the connection when the car is turned off. My phone continues to try to stay connected to the car, which is especially annoying with wireless AA / Carplay, since your phone THINKS it is still connected, but you can't see/hear what is going on anymore. In fact, turning the key back on during any point of this 5 min delay will reveal the screen is still on and notifications have been sounding, etc, you just didn't know.

I kind of hate that. I want my phone to disconnect and go onto my home's wifi when I get out of the car and stop playing my music in a silent vehicle. I can either manually disconnect wifi on my phone every time I get out of the car, or wait 5 minutes for the car to finally shut that down and sleep.t

This is my first Android head unit that doesn't shut off and need a cold boot every startup so I'm very unfamiliar with how this works. Has anyone experienced this? Is there something I can do about it? Oddly enough, bluetooth DOES disconnect right away, so the head unit seems to know that it should turn that off right away with the car. I wish it knew to turn off wifi as well so that everything connected to it stops when the car does.
[Android Head-Units] mastrv:
Hey. I do it the other way around. The head unit shares the hot spot from my phone. However, what I do should be useful for your situation.

I have a Samsung phone. It comes with Bixby, an automation app. I have it turn off my phone's hotspot when the Bluetooth connection is broken with my head unit.

You could do something similar to have it either turn off the wifi and/or connect to your home Wi-Fi when the Bluetooth disconnects. If you have a Samsung phone you could use Bixby and if not there are other automation apps like Macrodroid, Tasker and others that you can try.

I tried a SIM on my head unit but the head unit doesn't support the bands that my mobile provider uses...if you wanted to know.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] PierreOu:
I just receive my aramid case for S22 Plus. Bought on AliExpress, delivered to France in 10 days (I'm still waiting for the one ordered to Latercase many weeks ago...)

This case is very well build and add minimum bulk to the S22 Plus. The cost is less expensive than the Latercase : only 21,49€ vs $55 (50,41€) with shiping on Latercase
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] PierreOu:
I received today the Latercase aramid case for S22+. I'm very disappointed. This case has no top and bottom protection and the side buttons are not protected. This case is more than twice the price of the Aliexpress one tested before with less protection.

This case is as thin as the Aliexpress one. The weight is 11g compared to the 13g of the Aliexpress one.

If you're looking for an aramid case, the Aliexpress is the right choice (better protection and price, same quality)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] NisseGurra:
Can you link to the Aliexpress seller?, there seem to few cases and some looks as of lesser quality

The skin is perfect for the S22 Plus, is the skin giving grip because I want one like that to make my phone look beautiful🤩
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] cakebytheocean:
Yes, the skin has a rough surface so it gives a good grip for the phone to hold. Also, these skins are 3M vinyl material so it is thick and protective too!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] clairelara:
Thanks for the info I'm gonna order now for my S22 Plus and hope the skins are delivered soon!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] mttca:
I use only matte ppf ptotective film, full frame. It looks 99% as the bare phone. Added no thinkness, and no more slipperiness. Also protects the frame from simple scratchess.

Of course it adds no real protection from dropping. However, it's not my concern as I didn't drop my previous phone in two years after using the same type of ppf full frame sticker - before that I dropped two times as the glass was too slippery.

Anyone else same problem?
[Redmi Note 10] Compec:
Can the bootloader be locked after a custom rom or a root, well if the stock rom and stuff is flashed again can it be locked?
[Redmi Note 10] V0latyle:
The answer is a bit complicated.

To lock the bootloader, a root of trust must be set - whereas a cryptographic key is installed, as well as a verification hash against which the boot image and system image may be checked for their integrity. This is always the case with factory firmware, but only some ROM developers have gone this far.

I am not sure if it is possible to lock the bootloader if the firmware is untrusted. If it is, one of 2 things will likely happen.

The device may fail to boot, and display this message:

Or, it may boot, but display this message:

If however a custom root of trust has been set, the device will boot with this notice:

Ultimately, my advice is this: Do not try to lock the bootloader on anything other than OEM firmware, unless the developer of a custom ROM explicitly affirms that the device can be locked when using that firmware.
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] hasl3r:
My attempt to install a custom rom has failed horribly and I'm left with a wiped phone. Is there a way to reinstall EMUI? Or still somehow get a custom rom?

I flashed lineage-19.0-20220211-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvS.img on system, but although there was no error message it didn't seem to do anything.

It's a LLD-L31
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Maybe, in fastboot mode run commands :

fastboot oem get-build-number

fastboot oem get-product-model

fastboot getvar vendorcountry

fastboot oem oeminforead-CUSTOM_VERSION

fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION

and post the results.

Some might fail, so don't worry about it.

If you want to flash GSI custom ROM , look here or here .

(ANE and LLD are basically identical devices).

Btw, I'm running LOS 19.0 by Andy Yan on ANE-LX1, works like a charm...

I don't seem able to get into fastboot anymore, only TWRP 3.2.1-0 boots. The menu "Reboot - Fastboot" leads back to TWRP and running "adb reboot fastboot" from console as well.
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
- Try the following: turn off your phone, press and hold Volume Down and connect phone to PC.

- Can you boot into eRecovery? (turn off, connect to PC and press and hold Power & Vol Up). If so, try to update phone via Wifi and option "Download latest....".

Do you have TWRP installed instead of Recovery or eRecovery?

What is your regional variant? (Cxxx)
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] hasl3r:
That worked, I'm not around a PC at the moment, I'll run the commands as soon as possible

That booted into TWRP as well, so I guess?

Okay, try the following:

1. Download Service ROM

Unpack it, there's a dload file in Software folder. Copy dload as it is to the SD Card (without unpacking it!)

2. Download TWRP 3.2.1 https://mega.nz/#!tkcTlATI!A8UJGPBGtxJbLcUOJoxCGJj5PFZXzCnjbb3OkwqKTP8

and copy it to SD Card

3. also copy to SD stock Recovery_ramdisk-9.1.img , download here:

https://mega.nz/#!M0FHlYhb!4yWz8Onr3D1NATel4mZSK4SNdd5B3p6dnPg6oXPGWl8

4. Boot into your TWRP, select storage - SD Card, select "Install image", find TWRP-9.1 file and mark eRecovery, swipe. Go back, find recovery_ramdisk-9.1 file , mark Recovery, swipe.

5.Turn off the phone, use option 'Power Off' in TWRP's menu.

6. Press and hold Power & both Volume buttons .

Amazing, thank you so much!

Having the phone running again gave me hope, so I'll try to flash LineageOS 17.1 tomorrow.
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Glad to help :)
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] hasl3r:
Sorry to bother you again, just wondering if you have any advice. I tried flashing LineageOS 17.1, but realised that the bootloader is locked again. My unlock code doesn't seem to work anymore (check password failed) and I figured it's because I have to downgrade EMUI 9.1 to 8.0. Took me a while, but turns out that was not the issue.

Do you happen to have any idea what to try? Do I have to buy another DC Unlocker license?

I don't know if it's related, but "adb reboot fastboot" just reboots the device and I have to use the volume down key to get there.
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
it's normal after using dload method

Unlock code is permanent. Is OEM unlocking turned on in Developer options? (FRP unlock on fastboot screen?)
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] hasl3r:
Turns out the problem was copy/pasting the unlock code instead of hand typing it..

So I could flash it, but then the reset failed. Just realised that EMUI 9.1 is a requirement though, so I'll flash that first and try again.
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] hasl3r:
Edit: Nvm fixed it. Sorry if you got a notification anyway.
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] hasl3r:
Hmm I tried it with a clean stock 9.1 but flashing didn't work :confused:

If you have no ideas, I'll just stick with the stock installation.

1. be sure that your bootloader is unlocked, try to unlock it again

2. In fastboot mode run command

fastboot erase system

and try to flash GSI again

3. Install TWRP 3.2.1 gaguga edition, in TWRP select Mount - mark System, go back, select Wipe > Advanced > mark System > Repaire or etc. > Resize file system > confirm, reboot .

Then flash back stock recovery and try to install GSI.

4. Downgrade to the lower build number via dload method

5. idk... :)

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeepThought:
For TP I find monx's ROMeOS is best! It provides software updated to the most current version and is extremely stable. And additionally it is stripped to a perfect level where everything needed is still cooked in but all dead weight is kept out.

Ditto... Everything seems to be soooo stable!! I dont think i have had any major problems with any of the ROMeOS Roms, and if there are any little problems it either gets sorted very quick or its user error/being stupid!! Haha!! The speed of the Roms are well - i thought 1.13 was fast compared to the stock Rom, until i used 1.21... AWESOMELY fast!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HollyMartins:
Good evening everybody,

my Oppo Reno 4 5G is behaving strangely / not at all since yesterday. Over night I forgot to recharge it and the battery drained flat. Next morning I recharged the phone (luckily waking up by my inner clock) and found the phone unresponsive after boot. On the Screen, only a closed lock icon is visible. When I tried to use the touchscreen, the screen flickered randomly. I attached a Video file where you can see it yourself. Other than that it will respond to no input. I even tried to attach a USB Mouse/Keyboard, but it was still unresponsive to any input. When I hold press the power button, only an empty grey box appeared. Removing the SIM card made no difference. Strangely my alarm clock was working fine when it rung.

I managed to get it into the recovery-mode. When I try to do an online or local update it asks for the lockscreen password. But I use fingerprint + pattern to unlock my phone, I don't remember setting any password. I tried already a dozen passwords i used in the past and translated the pattern into numbers but no chance. I also don't have a Google Account connected to my phone, if that's relevant. The only thing I can do in recovery is to format the phone, but I see it as a last resort. My last Backup is 3 weeks old so it wouldn't hurt that much but I actually want to keep the pictures because I was on holiday for the first time since covid in the meantime.

Has anyone ideas how to troubleshoot the problem further? It seems to boot fine, only the lockscreen seems to be broken.

Phone: Oppo Reno 4 5G (european version)

Modelnr: CPH2091

OS: Android 11 / stock ColorOS

I'm thankful to any ideas!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] tremalnaik:
Thank you for your super-detailed guide! My phone operator (Tiscali, an Italian MVNO) enabled VoLTE last month, and I can finally try it on my G5. Thanks to your guide I could enable the settings, although I still have to test if VoLTE calling actually works, as in my village I barely have a 2G signal.

I'd like to point out that if you have installed the v30f_OPEN_EU rom on a phone that was built for a carrier, and you have the NTCODE error on startup, you first have to solve that error before trying to enable VoLTE and VoWiFi.

If you have NTCODE error, just follow the guide above from point 1 to 4, then before rebooting go to /cust/ folder and edit cust_path_mapping.cfg, adding a new line with the code you see in the NTCODE error (22288,FF in my case), pointing it to the OPEN_COM folder:

22288,FF=/cust/OPEN_COM

Then do the same with open_path_mapping.cfg, but here you should put OPEN_EU instead of OPEN_COM:

22288,FF=OPEN_EU

Then, after saving both files, proceed with point 5 of the guide above, and the NTCODE error will be gone and you will hopefully be able to use VoLTE and VoWiFi following the guide in the first post.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] pingufan:
Hello. Hope this is the right place for asking.

I own a LG G5 H850 phone. From my knowledge, it is original (means that it is not rooted and runs the original ROM).

Now I received the info from "drei", my mobile network provider, that my phone will possibly not work after 3G network is disabled. I asked them on phone, because I heard so many different and contrary statements meanwhile. They told me, that they require VoLTE for proper operation - my phone supports 4G, but not VoLTE.

Because I have so many apps on my phone, and I also own a Pebble Smartwatch (where I know that the app will not run on newest Android), have special holders for car + motorcycle, ..., recently bought new batteries, ..., I would like to keep my phone in current state but somehow enable VoLTE.

Is this possible? It would be great if it is.

Some details about installed OS - see screenshot.

I never ever "hacked around" in my phones, so I am a 100% novice. As this is my only phone and I also need all installed software, any ROM change is not possible. Hope this still is possible.

I also have no Windows in my office, only LINUX (openSUSE Leap 15.5). No idea, if and how adb will work.

So how do i flash it correctly and root without screwing up everything again?
