I have dumped the NAND flash chip from a Qualcomm modem and have a large partition labelled EFS2.

Does anyone have any details of the EFS2 format so I can recreate the filesystem from this RAW flash dump.

I have already corrected the ECC errors and removed spare bytes so I can see chunks of file content, just want to recreate the directory structure and content of all files.

Hi All. Loving my new xperia except for the speaker level, which is far too low for car navigation and not too good for handsfree calls. Can anyone advise on increasing the speake volume please. Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 General] Pinguino1:
How to increase the volume of the speaker

I have the same question.

The speaker is not loud enough. I heard that there are two volume settings that can increased separately to add up. It's that true?
[XPERIA X1 General] THJahar:
This has already been dealt with here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=443276&highlight=low+speaker+volume

In other words no.

The small hole where the speaker is is very easily covered up (try playing an mp3 and put your thumb over the hole then removing it) You will see a HUGE drop in volume.

This especially annoying when i'm missing calls because the phone is in my pocket.

My previous phone the K700 allowed sound to 'leak' out...I am wondering whether drilling some holes in the case might improve things :eek:
[Android Head-Units] soltype:
I just picked up an Android 10 joying head unit. The install was easy and everything appears to be working. Is there anything else I need to do on the head unit? They didn't give much instructions. For instance the radio doesn't show the names very well but I don't know if I'm missing something or if that's how it is. This is my first foray into this stuff so I'm totally lost, any help would be appreciated, thank you
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Hi, on this forum you have a bunch how to do stuff just read them, find your own model of multimedia and play with it.
[Android Head-Units] tRidiot:
There's a pretty steep learning curve for a lot of the stuff you will read about on here. Be careful and methodical. Don't make a change or upload a software or something to your unit if you aren't 100% sure about what it does. There is small chance you could brick your unit if you don't know what you're doing, and a less small chance you could unintentionally break some features that may require significant effort to restore.

First, determine the model, processor and firmware of your unit.

The processor could be a USI7862, could be an SC9853i or even a Qualcomm Snapdragon SD625. This will point you in the direction of the threads for specific FAQs/Q&A. That's your first step.

If you're generally pretty happy with your unit, I might suggest exploring downloading and using a new launcher to see if you like the change in interface. This could make you feel a whole different way about your Android head unit and make it 'feel' more like a factory stock unit with added features. Lots of customization options, and you can usually revert back to stock launcher pretty easily if you don't like it or if there are some compatibility issues.

So maybe that's a place to start - also, I think most of the Joying units (if not all) are FYT-made, so there will be more specific information available in the FYT head unit forum. Lots of good and helpful folks here, but they do expect you to read, read, read and try to learn the basics, too.
[Android Head-Units] soltype:
Yeah I think I'm starting to get the hang of some of it. I found out I have a UIS7862. Going to read through the thread for it and see what I can get out of it.
[Android Head-Units] tRidiot:
It will be a bit intimidating. Commit to reading through the UIS7862 threads in their entirety multiple times, and don't jump in with both feet uploading software. If you stick around and read for a few weeks while you get used to your head unit, you'll learn the terminology as you go, and you'll learn what you like and don't like about your head unit, as well as it's features and limitations.

Then you can make some more informed choices about IF anything needs to be changed, and learn HOW to do it.

I'm still early in the process myself.
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:

So I get this email a couple of minutes ago:

"Skyfire Beta is Open - No More Waiting

We opened up the floodgates to our beta program, so no more waiting to be invited to download. If you have a Windows Mobile or Nokia N or E Series (3rd edition) phone in the US, get it now and spread the word. "

If there's anyone on the Skyfire team reading this...sorry guys. Too little too late. After waiting nearly 9 months to get on the beta list, asking many questions, getting zero answers, you've put me off so bad I wouldn't give this a single glance. Letting me in now only because you're letting everyone in, and expecting me to be happy and forget the atrocious was I've been treated most of the year, is not going to be very effective for you.

Good luck with your efforts.

[FYT Android Head Units] tRidiot:
So I ordered a UIS7862-based 9" screen for my wife's RAV4, as it supposedly has CANBUS support, which the 8" Qualcomm Snapdragon 625-based unit I have installed apparently does not. I've gone 'round and 'round with Joying tech support, they basically told me to pound sand when it comes to steering wheel controls on the SD625 unit. There is no CANBUS support and they won't even address steering wheel controls other than to tell me to research other companies' interfaces like the Axxess, PAC, etc.

So I ended up buying the UIS7862-based unit, because they said it will work out of the box, plug and play, with the CANBUS and my wife's vehicle.

Interesting to me that they have included 8GB of RAM with a processor that (as far as I can tell) only supports 6GB of RAM. So I can't imagine this will cause any particular problems, per se, but neither will I likely see any benefit to the extra 2GB of unusable RAM. I really wanted the upgrade ($60) for the internal storage increase.

In my emails with them, asking about some of their other units, they did confirm the UIS7862 was used in other head units with 8GB of RAM, then they actually asked me to stop asking them questions about why they would include 8GB of RAM and a processor that couldn't utilize all of it. lol. It was a bit funny, they basically said, "Our boss did this, don't ask us why anymore, please stop."

My only thought is simple marketing - they do truly have 8GB of RAM (I guess, I haven't gotten mine yet to check), but you can't use it all - so it just helps them to sell more units. And since they're "upcharging" for the RAM, they don't really care. It's no skin off their nose.

I just found it funny, I guess. Like I said, I can't fathom it would cause problems.

Here's what they said to me:

Funny stuff, but I hope the new unit will work better than the Snapdragon one.
[FYT Android Head Units] j-5:
The 6GB limit is debatable.

This site says 6GB, but

Here's a chart showing max mem as 8GB (T610 == UMS512)

I think I'll run some kind of memory tester on mine to put this one to bed...stay tuned.
[FYT Android Head Units] tRidiot:
@j-5 did you ever do any testing?

My new 8/128 Joying unit should be here Thursday I believe, and should just drop in with no major wiring changes. Only difference to my knowledge is adding in the CANBUS harness to see how much of my factory stuff I can restore.

But I'm interested to know how this unit handles or recognizes the 8GB of RAM. Is it able to utilize it all? How would one, know, what programs or methods would you utilize to check if it is using all the available RAM?
[FYT Android Head Units] j-5:
I ran a couple of utilities (antutu, phonecheck) and they showed all of the RAM, but they didn't have a RAM test option, so ??
[FYT Android Head Units] tRidiot:
Hmmm that's a tough one. I can see where it would show up as present - but if your unit can't utilize it, it doesn't do you any good.

Anyone have any ideas on an Android app that can test CPU utilization of memory?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I have explained it earlier in another thread. There is no limit of 6 GB for these 64bit chips. The total limit is currently 16 exabytes, but most (server) CPUs are restricted to 2 or 4 Terabytes.

This 6 GB is a hardware limitation "built in" by the chip producer. Note though that we are already at the uis7862c model. Maybe the previous a and b models were limited in some way to 6 GB, whereas the c model can address 8 GB and maybe even more.
[FYT Android Head Units] j-5:
Just as a data point, my "phonechek" reported I have an "A" model, but still shows 8GB.

Here's a screener from "Fake Device Test" app:
[FYT Android Head Units] tRidiot:
Maybe I shouldn't worry about it so much. I'm just curious and trying to learn how all this works. I'm still pretty boggled and baffled by most of this stuff.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Thanks for confirming but that's why I mentioned "Maybe the previous a and b models were limited in some way to 6 GB". To me this even means that there is no limitation, only in how they are brought to the market.

The Sofias at that time were also 64bit but limited to 2GB. The PX5 was 64bit but limited to 4GB. Note that I am talking about what was sold, not tehcnical limitations.

If there is a pull from the market, or a push from the manufacturer, to sell more expensive units having more memory and emmc, they will do.

[Oppo Find N] conceptgate:
The front cover of a carbon fiber case is usually a bit loose for folding phones, as there is very little for the front cover to hold/clip on to. The carbon fiber back and front covers come with an adhesive strip, which works fine for the back cover, but is not usually strong enough for the front cover, which sometimes moves a bit, especially when opening the folding phone. However, the below double sided tape works really well (apply on all 4 inside edges of the front cover), though it is fairly fiddly to apply. Once applied though, it seems rock solid. Also, while it is strong, it apparently comes off without mess and without damage to the phone, and you get loads on a roll if you screw up or need to apply it again.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] moneybanks14:
Hi guys,

I have got a fold 3 but when I open it up it seems to be at about 175 degree rather than 180. If I look down the line along the top of the phone when open with one eye I can see it slightly bend off. Should the device open completely straight?

If I look at the back of the device when it's open, I can just see some of the samsung logo on the hinge, like a fingernail gap. Should the two edges of the phone be touching each other when open.

I will try add photos later.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Flame Red:
^ Agree - mine does not sit perfectly flat on a desk either. There is always the slightest wobble. If you press down, it will go flat but then the small gap returns.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Talderon:
Yeah, I would worry about that as mine opens flat, you cannot see the Samsung Logo at all.

Yeah, it wobbles a little when open and laying flat because of the camera bump. That's normal. It should be open a full 180 degrees. Unless there is something wrong with mine. LOL!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Scott:
Like @Talderon said, it should sit flat. When mine is unfolded I cannot see the hinge and the two edges touch.

HOWEVER... When I took it out of the box it was not like that! Like you said, mine didn't quite fold open to 180 degrees. Mine opened to about 178.5 degrees. Just not quite flat unfolded. I think the hinge may need a break in period, IDK?

But I did notice the same thing you did and when I went to check again, I noted it was reaching 180 degrees now. After two months of use is seemingly more fluid than when I originally folded it so I think the break in period is real thing with this hinge.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] flakmunky:
Mine stopped opening fully and I logged this with Samsung UK through the customer service app. I had to send them some photos and they arranged for an engineer to come round and do a home repair. He ended up changing the inner screen, outer screen and batteries, under warranty. He said he basically just put my Fold's motherboard in a new chassis.

Took him about an hour and it now folds completely flat, is stiffer and opens with a small snap as it becomes flat. Way different to the way it was before he changed everything over. The inner screen crease is also a lot less noticeable now than it was.

So, you don't want the Google experience yet you bought a Google-branded phone? Just a bit of an oxymoron there. Seriously, while I could ask why you bought a Google phone if you don't intend to use Google services, it would be a pointless waste of time and energy.

Install a custom ROM that doesn't use Google services and don't look back. Just don't complain when you can't take advantage of a Google-exclusive feature as a result.
