[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] labuwx:
Hi,

Background:

My current daily driver is LineageOS 18.1 by Ivan. I've got a smart thermometer that uses a 17 KHz sound carrier to send the measurement data to the companion app.

However the app was not able to read (or even detect the presence of) the thermometer. Mic permission was enabled for the app, naturally.

So I checked with a spectrum analyzer app (Spectroid) and an external tone sweep, and there seems to be a low-pass filter on the mic input (both internal and headset).

The cutoff starts around 4 KHz and nothing gets through above 8 KHz.

Then I tried other ROMs. PixelExperience [AOSP 12] behaves the same way, but on FloydQ V6.0 [10, non AOSP] the spectrogram is flat and the companion app works.

My questions:

Is this a known issue / feature? Is this an AOSP vs Samsung based ROM thing?

If this is because of the missing proprietary blobs, is it directly caused by that or just a side effect of a (anti echo) workaround?

Can it be disabled? Even if the voice quality becomes unusable.

Thanks.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ricriley:
Hi,

How can I check if my diamond is connected to 3G? My O2 Ignito always displays the 'G' icon in the top corner. I am yet to see it display '3G', but I know this icon exists.

When I click it the 'connectivity' pop-up comes up and says:

mobile web (GPRS, 3G)

I am in a 3G area, I have checked on here:

http://www.webmap.o2.co.uk/map.asp

But to me it doesn't seem like 3G speeds.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Shaady:
When you are connected to 3G doesn't the thing next to the signal icon change to say 3g?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Medulla:
I'm in the same boat with my O2 handset, I'm in an area that's allegedly covered by O2's 3G coverage but the only thing I've ever seen is G or E (for EDGE); I've never seen the 3G icon.

I realised yesterday though that my SIM card might not be 3G compliant as it's the same SIM card I'm still using from my very first O2 contract phone from back in 2005 so I'm going to ask in an O2 shop this weekend whether that could be the problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jonny-roger:
I have had much discussion with O2 concerning 3G reception. I live in a 3G area and yet do not receive it on my Ignito. If i take my sim out and put it in a Nokia I get 3G. O2 replaced the handset - same issue. It seems HTC devices do not have a good 3G reciever in them. It diplays H when you have 3G - O2 quote "H is superior to 3G and provides the fastest data transfer". I've been asked by O2 to monitor my 3G reception and give feedback to them, so that they can give feedback to HTC! If I continue to not get 3G coverage they have offered to look at another handset for me!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jonny-roger:
The phone displays H when it has a 3G signal. H is the fastest data service in the UK and is faster than 3G - quoting O2 here.

I have also had problems with receiving 3G. If i put my sim in a Nokia handset it works fine, but not in my Ignito. They changed the handset - second one the same. It appears the receiver in the Diamond is not very good at receiving 3G. O2 have asked me to monitor how I get on and give them feedback, so they can get back to HTC!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] oo03sjw:
I have looked into this with o2 Corporate as I have a works Ignito.

It appears that it was worth a phone call as the guy I spoke to seem to know his stuff and apparently sorted me out.

I have never had the 3G logo on my Ignito, so out of interest I rang o2 to question my speeds.

1.	They told me my SIM is so old it is 2G, so they have sent me a new 3G card.

2.	They state that my account has been set up wrong in that I have never been upgraded to the faster speeds, the Tech guy told me that when my phone is showing ‘H’ after a speed test it is actually running 3G!

3.	They have now moved me from something called ‘virgin 5’ to ‘virgin 6’, as I have never been upgraded, which will mean that when available I will get 1.2 MB/s!

4. Apparently the Ingnito software has not got the 3G logo in it so will not show 3G only H. (or E for Edge or G for GPRS, if not on the higher speeds)

5.	Because of the wrong SIM and not upgrading me automatically, Cheeky bastards!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ricriley:
Thanks for your help, I would of never known it would of been a SIM problem.

Do you now receive a constant 3G connection?

Do O2 correct this free of charge?

I would also be interested in other O2 Ignito customers find there 3G reception.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Illodin:
Hoew to get better signal

Hi Gets

If you need to get better 3g signal, why don't you just change the radio.

I had same kind of issue with the original radio. I updated 1.05.25.BS14 and I have brillint 3g signal all the time.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ricriley:
I went into the O2 store today, they gave me a new SIM straight away, no questions.

Now it runs great!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:
O2's 3G reception is diabolical at the best of times....from past experiences on their network...one of the major reasons why i went back to Tmobile...their 3g network is very good and fast. Never fail to get the H icon 95% of the time when using my phone.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laffin_boy:
I have a Pixel C with an ASOP 8.1 running on it connected through a known good USB cable to my Win 7 64 laptop. The laptop has the latest Google drivers on it (r13) ( just finished installing LOS on my Pixel 3). When I plug the tablet into the USB cable the computer doesn't acknowledge it at all. I went to Device Mgr and successfully reinstalled the Google drivers - after which Windows gives me a "Code - 10" error: "The device cannot start". I rebooted both the computer and the tablet and the Device Mgr had "forgotten" the Android device and so I reinstalled the drivers again and got another "code 10"

[Moto G 5G Plus Questions & Answers] Necro11011:
Ok so I got the Motorola one 5g ace qualcomm T-Mobile single nano sim variant! I was flashing from lineage back to stock firmware... The firmware I grabbed for it (should have looked at the hole name) was wrong not enough to kill the phone but enough to add duel sim to it and not give me the treble support files. My problem is this is I have flashed and reflashed the right firmware and it keeps coming back to the same thing 2 sim cards making it so I can't connect or half the time detect my sim card..... So what should I do. Oh and it's also only flashing one partition not doing a/b I'm having to manually do B partition myself.
[Moto G 5G Plus Questions & Answers] Tommy0000:
Are you sure you are on the right device page? Here is for Nairo, Moto G 5g Plus (Moto One 5G) not for the 5G ace.

If you bricked your phone there's the motofirmware website with all the stock roms, find your phone model name, download the firmware and drivers and use the flashall.bat in the folder to reset your phone. You need to be unlocked obviously
[Fire TV General] moccor:
So I didn't know about Fire Stick modding until today, though I've rooted and unlocked many phone bootloaders + rooted. Since I am many years behind of Fire Stick mods, can anyone recommend what would be some good things to start with? There are many articles being made about Amazon screwing over the launchers, so I wouldn't be surprised if many others are having the same question. I know I can read a guide and push apps or install a launcher np, but I am not asking for links I am simply asking for like, do you recommend installing a VPN (though they can be inconvenient)? Should I simply push a new launcher? Should I flash one of the custom ROMs if possible? I think my one Stick just updated a few days ago, but I def have one or 2 others that haven't for a while. Thanks for any info
[Fire TV General] vinokirk:
I'm also new to all this. I've got a Firestick HD Max, reading around, is there an issue when you're on the latest firmware version. Should we aim to keep it on a certain version?
[Fire TV General] Sus_i:
The latest OS blocks custom launchers... and it blocks disabling updates for some devices too.
[Fire TV General] vinokirk:
What OS should i keep it on?

I can see the answer on https://xdaforums.com/t/amazon-blocks-users-from-blocking-updates.4413683/
[Fire TV General] psymsi:
If you just updated, you likely lost root/bootloader unlocking on that device. And custom launchers have just been blocked on most (all?) fully updated devices as well.

The custom launchers are in a constant battle with Amazon without root. If you want to mod a Firestick, even if just to use a custom launcher without issues, I suggest getting a Firestick 4k from a brick and mortar like Best Buy -- $30 or so, OTG cable, and some sort of USB keyboard with mouse or remote with airmouse. Then follow the guides to unlock/root.

Not even worth the trouble without root IMO. I gave up my faster & more expensive Cube just to have basic customization on the Firestick I don't have to worry about losing next update.

[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] &(*):
Might be worth a shot to try in fastboot mode: fastboot --disable-verification --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img ( https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=324749 ) (I believe any vbmeta should work, worst case scenario just flash again with RSA). If it doesn't work, go back to global.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] leonlifr:
emm... it not work
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] &(*):
I think I found a solution with the vbmeta.img(s).

Try,

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img

Flashing both through fastboot with the disable flags set from 12.5.591 bundle should allow the CN system (Legion Pro 2) to boot on a Duel 2. First step would be to flash the CN build then boot into the bootloader, then fastboot reboot fastboot, followed by the above commands (make sure you copy the vbmeta.img(s) to your platform-tools directory first), last step fastboot reboot bootloader and select start.

Post results if you are successful.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] jez.dayao:
You may want to follow the procedure of incompatible software on Lenovo Legion 1 section. Someone already manage to convert Global to CN.

I think what they did is back up their persist and modem and restore once you flashed CN rom.
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] Malberd:
First backup your persist and modem_a and modem_b partitions via Qfil, then try flashing the CN rom with "Erase all before download" option checked. After that boot into qdloader once again and using cn programmer in flat build, erase your persist, modem_a and modem_b partitions by clicking "erase" and then load the backed up files. in my case it worked but once again i have the battery drain problem

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] d-fader:
Hi! I haven't updated to v1.22 Beta 3 (yet), but I thought it would be handy to create a thread for this, since I think not everyone is willing to scroll through 164 pages of text :)

It seems that changing the volume during a call doesn't work and my push-mail also doesn't work (I have to click send/receive manually). I've enabled the 'use settings while roaming' setting and my peak times and off peak times are both 'As items arrive'.

I don't have a clue why changing the volume during a call doesn't do anything. Do you guys have any idea (...and now I hope you don't all say I have to update to Beta 3 in which these specific issues were fixed ;))?

Thanks in advance!

btw. Awesome what you guys have done, creating a ROM like this certainly is something uber-1337 ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] johanromijn:
I don't think you should start a new thread, but anyway.....

Your thread title says 1.22, but you say you have not yet upgraded to BETA3(1.22)

Maybe you should start by telling us what version you'r currently running.

I'm running 1.21, and changing volume during call works fine for me.

I don't use Push mail.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] microfox:
The HTC Volume Control is removed from ROMeOS 1.21 so you have to install it manually.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] johanromijn:
That's not true; ROMeOS 1.21 has HTC volume control cooked in.

And BTW, he says volume control during call is not working.

Even without HTC Volume Control that has to work.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] d-fader:
You're right, but this way it's more specific than one big post for all problems but if that's the normal way then I'll do that from now on.

You're right. I meant v1.21 (Beta 2) (changed the subject and stated I'm stupid ;))
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] d-fader:
I tried both (with and without the HTC volume CAB installed). I really wonder what it is :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] microfox:
I had that experience myself. During the voice call the volume was very loud and I posted in the ROMeOS thread and no one answered me.

When I tried the HTC Volume Control I had control on the Volume during the calls. And I successfully lowered the Volume.

By the way:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] powerpino:
and how about the push mail? it doesnt seem to work in 1.21 or 1.22 here either. I had no problem with 1.12, but 1.12 is a battery drainer so i wont go back to that :/
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] DeepThought:
I'm not having problems with pushmail at all. What kind of problem are you experiencing exactly?

And I really think this should be discussed within the ROMeOS thread.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] paulyluca:
Because it's a issue regarding ROMeOS, I think also this should be discussed there. Or, soon, we will get lost in many threads, all about the same ROM...:p

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] echo258:
I have a moto x4, I am trying to root my phone but when I try to flash the image, I get this error I am using Magisk.

I have in developer setting OEM unlocked bootloader ticked.

this is what i typed in

fastboot flash boot C:\Users\jason\Desktop\magisk_patched-24100_3QkIN.img

and this is what i got.

(bootloader) is-logical:boot_a: not found
Sending 'boot_a' (22737 KB) OKAY [ 0.491s]
Writing 'boot_a' (bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote: '')
fastboot: error: Command failed
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Finway:
Fastboot is too sensitive for X4 (usb compatibility issues and even commands fail)

* Install from Recovery mode:

- Download magisk apk on your PC

- Rename it to magisk.zip

- Reboot phone to recovery mode (shutdown, press volume_down + power buttons simultaneously, choose 'recovery' with volume_down button, validate with power button)

- Choose 'Install update' > 'from ADB'

- Tip 'adb sideload magisk.zip' on PC

- Accept on phone

Magisk will patch the boot img automatically.

Enjoy !

* About Updates:

Next boot updates can be done from the app directly afterwards

* About Hide:

(Refer to Magisk/Zygisk xda post for info and DL links)

Enable 'Zygisk' in Magisk settings

To pass safetynet, install 'Universal SafetyNet fix' zip

To pass root check, install 'MagiskHide props config' zip

Reboot

To hide some apps, enable 'Enforce deny list' in Magisk settings, and add apps you want to hide to deny list (still in Magisk settings)

You can check with Apps like 'Yasnac' (safetynet) and 'RootBeer' (root) from gPlayStore after adding them to deny list
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] marquee97:
Hi. I flashed a stock room with Odin in my Samsung S10 (SM-G973F). The phone is made in Argentina so i installed a free carrier ROM from there, then after i flashed the ROM from my country but in no case i can get my SIM to work on it. What i can do?

Edit: Aparently i have a imei status: NG.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
IMEI status NG likely means that the carrier has blacklisted your IMEI, and is refusing the activate it. IMEIs are often blacklisted because the phone is stolen or for various other reasons.

In the USA, carriers will work together on IMEI blacklisting, but I don't know how it works in other countries...
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] marquee97:
The phone it's from Argentina. I'm almost sure that it's not stolen, but i supose that it was unlocked by someone else before i got it into my possession, and then when i flashed stock rom i messed up the unlock. The imei doesn't appear in any blacklist page (even the one from my country). There is a way to restore the unlock with Samsung Tool Pro or changing the IMEI? (changing IMEI en my country it is legal)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
I don't know about the Samsung Tool Pro. I also don't believe XDA allows discussion about IMEI changing, but yes I think it can be done. You may need to find another place to discuss this.

If you're reasonably sure that the IMEI is fine, you could call your carrier and ask them what is happening. Maybe they just need to fix something on their end?

[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] BasicWorld:
Hey all, earlier today my phone randomly rebooted before getting stuck on the ROG boot logo, this also occurs when trying to boot into recovery either through bootloader or fastboot and up to now I've been entirely unsuccessful at getting my phone into EDL mode. I am using a USB 2 connection and have tried Vol + & - with and without holding the power button to no avail. Other things I've attempted are reflashing firmware but critical partitions are locked I am assuming due to not being in EDL and flashing TWRP leads me nowhere still as it continues to hang on boot logo.

sysinfo

device info

This is a Tencent edition but it was running WW firmware prior to any issues, was rooted but hadn't touched anything su related in months. I did also try flashing CN firmware.

ZenFone Flash Tool Utility unable to detect device

ZS661KS raw flashing output below

I can flash boot, recovery and other unlocked partitions but my best guess is either something is corrupt before these even load or it's unable to flash at all.

I'm pretty certain it's irrelevant but to be more specific about what I was doing just before it bricked, I'd been prompted by Telegram to update via an apk distributed on their site and it was shortly after installing and opening.

I tried to include relevant information here but apologies if any is missing, and thank you for any assistance
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] Andrologic:
Sounds like you have Fastboot access? If so, you can reboot to EDL from there. If you have access to install/boot into TWRP. Last resort is to use a deep flash cable. If you have a working firmware on your inactive slot from previous upgrades, switching your active slot may help getting you back without the need for EDL.
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] BasicWorld:
Unfortunately I cannot access TWRP nor can I enter EDL through Fastboot, attempting either just results in getting stuck on the ROG logo.
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] Andrologic:
Can you send Fastboot commands to the device from the bootloader? If you can, try switching your active slot as mentioned above and see if that saves you (assuming you have a working firmware on your inactive slot - may or may not work but worth a try).

If no way out, using a deep flash cable will get you in EDL mode. You can buy one cheap or make one yourself from a USB cable.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] dzr:
Are there any secure ROMs which allow the bootloader to be relocked, can support Google services and will continue security fix support, after Google ends direct support?

It must support VoLTE on ATT.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] dzr:
With no responses, it seems stock firmware and buying a new phone. :-(
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Roarmaster:
You can try graphene OS, although it doesnt come with google services by default, the bootloader is lockable. There is a way to get sanboxed google apps though, so you'll have to look into that.

Personally, i would just install lineage or a GSI from the project treble page and keep the bootloader unlocked. The only security vulnerability an unlocked bootloader would have is if someone stole your physical device. They'll be able to copy your data through usb.

Edit: If you can build and sign lineage yourself with your own keys, there is a way to relock the bootloader but thats beyond my skills.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] allrightlite:
Is Android 13 gsi working anyway?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Roarmaster:
I don't think the pixel 3a is getting an official Android 13. 3 years of updates is over this may. As for project treble android 13 GSI, they dont exist yet.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] dzr:
Thank you. I seem to have missed your reply. Graphene looks great except for the fact that they will not support the phone past the end of its official support. As such, that won't help me.

Building lineage by myself, I haven't seen a way to build both lineage and the gaaps... At least including signing the packages. As well, I'm not sure I have any computer which is good enough for the job.

Regarding using unsigned lineage, a supporter of graphene posted that is more than just a physical vulnerability, but it will allow malware to survive a reboot (maybe a reset as well?)

Thanks
