Ei como está tudo? Moro no Brasil e estou pensando em comprar a versão chinesa ao vivo. Quero saber de você se vale a pena ou não. Obrigado

Hey how is everything? I live in Brazil and I'm thinking of buying the live Chinese version. I want to hear from you if it's worth it or not. Thanks
[iQOO 9] artoax:
Hi Willian

Dont ! Trust me !

The OS is full of chinese apps and bloatware which cant be removed. So many functions are disabled (Android Auto, Prompting Google, changing SMS or Phone app ...).

I wish I had bought the global version that comes with Funtouch as opposed to Origin OS.

Let me know if I need to give you more dire news.

[Touch HD General] marcel808:
hi

I have a touch pro and would love to change to the HD...IF the battery life on a touch HD is good enough.

I've read its good on 3G phone reception, but if I wanted just a phone I'd buy something cheap and small. I want to surf the web,watch movies, use tomtom.

Simple question; if the phone is charged to 100%, then I watch a movie lasting 2 hours, what will be left in the battery, if anything? I'm hoping someone with the HD already can help me

thanks to anyone who can answer this and apologies if its already been answered...I couldn't find it anywhere
[Touch HD General] Acelister:
Good question... I've not done that, but I have had it running with the wi-fi enabled for about an hour and 45 minutes whilst surfing the web and using the YouTube application. It didn't run down more than about 20 percent?
[Touch HD General] Raziel1:
i got the device, charged the battery and played around with it for some hours. tested the gps watched the small movie which is on the HD some times, used opera an wlan, looked at weather and stocks and played around with the interface and programs some more. sending sms emails, and doign a call. with bluetooth

then i left it on my table from 23:30 to 9 in the morning, stood up and played around with it until 11.

battery status: 90%
[Touch HD General] Ascenca83:
Any chance there will be a 1500mAh battery for the HD? Or is there already one out there?
[Touch HD General] chr5s11:
My guess is Mugen will provide one sooner or later.
[Touch HD General] marcel808:
wow! many thanks everyone. that sounds really positive
[Touch HD General] Acelister:
I did a little test of my own today. I left the Bluetooth, Data connection and Wi-Fi on whilst it played the 2 pre-loaded videos on repeat in Full Screen. The brightness was on default, the dimming backlight was disabled and the sound was at about 2%. I didn't have a way to check the percentage of the battery, so I just counted the bars. Fully charged, it has 10 bars.

After one hour of playing to itself, the battery had gone down to 8 pieces. After another half hour, it was down to 7 pieces. After a total of two hours after the repeat had been begun and everything turned on, it was still on 7 pieces. So yes, you can watch a 2 hour film, then blog about it, then call a mate on a video-call to chat about it before taking pictures of things that were around you as you watched!

A bit extreme, maybe, but it will last. :p
[Touch HD General] Keland44:
that's pretty nice battery life what kinda battery is in there account i wonder if that will be the same for a touch hd pro (i know i'm a dreamer)
[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
i got it this morning, and kept using it WITHOUT recharging it up to now! :p
[Touch HD General] Osir1s:
LOL so true :p
[Touch HD General] Lord.Bachus:
SO i think the BAttery life is really good....

One less worry
[Touch HD General] Ascenca83:
Thanks for the advice.

And does someone know if there will be a seller in switzerland/germany?

Or what such a battery could probably cost?
[Touch HD General] kstab:
No need to worry about availability... they offer free intarnational shipping

As for the estimated cost.....:confused:
[Touch HD General] Ascenca83:
Thats good news!!!

So looking forward to a 3000mAh Battery for my new "preciousssssss" ;)

Hope wont cost more than 100$...

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Venipa:
I'm always getting this error while i trying to download & install updates via the pixel updater.

It always returns "Installation failed"

Im currently downloading the ota & sideloading it and reflashing the latest stock boot to re root.

Is there any fix to just use magisk ota patcher instead of the workaround im using?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
You pretty much have to be completely stock to use the "Install to Inactive Slot" method (except being rooted with Magisk of course). That means no modifications of /system, /vendor, etc.. Having a custom kernel will also make it fail because dtbo, vendor_boot & vendor_dklm images are usually modified with custom kernels on the Pixel 6 series. Any modifications like these will make the pre-OTA verification check fail and thus the installation fail.

Also, if you are using Canary versions 24304/5, it's been reported that these versions aren't playing well with the "Install to Inactive Slot" method for the March and April builds.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Venipa:
im on stock + magisk 24300, it still showed the (ota) install failed error

edit: could it be that the "Universal SafetyNet Fix" module could alter system or smth related to the pre-ota verification process?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Not really sure then. Since that method was re-added to Magisk (in January I believe), it seems to be hit or miss for a lot of folks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Anything is possible. Try all Magisk Modules disabled, then reboot, and then try it again.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Venipa:
I'll try that on the next update
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Venipa:
new update dropped and yet the issue persists, i've disabled magisk modules and it still happened :(

i guess its time to manually flash the update again :sigh:
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If I were in your shoes, I would first try updating using the

Official Google Android Flash Tool

(OEM Unlocking needs to be toggled on - you may not have to manually unlock the bootloader - the "site" will do that on its own), and choose the option to not wipe (and don't flash all partitions, and don't relock the bootloader). And then try rooting using Magisk Stable v24.3. The Android Flash Tool has fixed many folks' problems, even when manually flashing the full firmware zip didn't fix the problem.

Good luck!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Venipa:
Ah that's not what I meant, I've already everything setup to manually patch the ota without wiping my data. It's just inconvenient to do the ota and downloading the stock firmware to patch only the boot again for magisk.

Anytime I reboot my dash, it makes all my receiving and incoming calls always on speaker. I can't hold the button to make it go off speaker. Also when I reboot my dash, It makes Windows Media Player play the songs x2 fast. The only way I can fix this is by plugging it into my computer. Is there a way to fix this permanently? Also my USB headphones do not work at all. It will always play out of the speaker. I can't seem to find a way to fix that at all. I am running Excalibur WM6.1 ROM by Kavana on my phone.

Hello, I had a problem with my Redmi Note 9, the IMEI disappeared after the Android 11 update. Does anyone have an efs backup so I can restore?

Efs does not contain imei and you can't share IMEI between different devices or you will brick your device.

Hello, the following is my device (Redmi Note 9, Merlin) the IMEI disappeared after the V12.0.1.0 update and until today it has no IMEI. And look that the latest version is in V12.5.4.0 and no solution. A guy I met on the internet forced the bootloader to unlock (I don't know how he did it) and fixed the IMEI problem, but V12.5.3.0 which was the version I was on, was full of bugs (Storage in " others" filling by itself, an error of not connecting to Google servers, it was not possible to use the play store). Because of that I decided to install a custom ROM (Pixel Experience 12.1) the ROM is perfect, no bugs, normal storage, accessing the normal Play Store, I would like to stay in it only with the IMEI working. But in this ROM change the IMEI disappeared again. I would like to know as much information as possible so that I can solve this, like a step by step of the whole procedure, I would be very grateful.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mineplayerminer:
Can you please tell me how you installed a custom recovery and flashed the ROM, please? I have the Redmi Note 9 and the MIUI 12.5.4. When it got bricked and I complained about it at my local "shop" (Something like a Microcenter), they reflashed it (thus losing all my photos from Summer 2021, around 80GBs of photos and videos with my family😢) I think they flashed a wrong MIUI ROM or an MTK firmware as the TWRP app reports the phone as "gauguin" (which is Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G) The ADB shell says merlinnfc which is correct. Also, I see some options such as Hotspot and multiple users as the first options on the Settings main page. I compared it with my classmate's phone as he got the same model as me. (But he was lucky enough not to brick it during an update 😂)

Also, don't you have a sticker on the back of your phone with the IMEI numbers?

https://www.howtogsm.com/2021/07/repair-imei-xiaomi-redmi-note-9-merlin.html I only found this thing about the IMEI repair. I'm really sorry for the IMEI loss which is not common when flashing. 😢❤
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
There are things I don't want about update, and things I don't want to lose with update. I have postponed every time it asks, but Samsung says I can only postpone 2 more times. Is there any way to avoid this?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
Package disable this app.

View attachment 5581443
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
Thanks, but a little concerned about the process, removing all accounts, control, etc. Any other way to do this?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
Disabling just that app only stops the firmware updates. My stock N10+ is running on Pie for example.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
For the setup process did you have to remove all google accounts (and then reinstall after), connect phone to pc, debug, etc? Description of app sounded a little daunting. Do you think there's anything risky? I really DO NOT want to install the next android version, and am running out of time. Can't believe they're going to force it on me, so definitely want a workaround. Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
I use Package Disabler.

A adb edit can also be used.

Neither require removing Google accounts!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
I think adb is a little beyond me. I will give Package Disabler a try. This is what it says on its app page about removing Google acct, etc:, which I wondered if you had to do:

** No Rooting required **

** You will have to remove all google accounts temporarily to activate this app then you can add back your accounts**

** You will need to connect your device to PC once and run a command as listed below**

** Uninstall within few hours to get automatic refund, if you are not happy with the app**
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Enable developer options

Open developer options and disable auto update system

Open software update and disable auto download

No adb or paid garbage required.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
OK, that will disable the auto update, but what about the forced update after a certain number of postponements, different than auto?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I'm not 100% sure it will stop the clock once it's already ticking. I've never gotten that far. I do know it will prevent it from trying to update, though. Any update with those settings has to be manually checked. I don't even get notice when they're available.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
Disable the app I showed you that should hopefully kill it...

Clearing the system cache apparently does not clear the download.

If it loads and upgrades the bootloader, you're boned.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
PROBLEM: When I try to buy in playstore, it says transaction declined. I did read in one of the reviews that google has some kind of problem with license, surely political., although it still appears in playstore - can't get it. Is there any other way to get/buy/install the app?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
A lot of apps get suspended for political reasons, but this one was legitimate. That said, if you are sure it's what you want, you can buy it on their website. It's the first Google result for "Package Disabler" but make sure to get what you want done as soon as you buy it. One of the big things that led to the app being removed was the developer revoking licenses to force additional purchases.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
Thanks. It's on my list of things to do today. I did go to the site, and am slightly reluctant to use credit card, no paypal option even. I feel a lot more comfortable buying through playstore, not to mention the price on developer site is 5 british pounds, over $7 US. Wouldn't mind the price if it does what I want. Looks like a very complicated process from buying through activating. We'll see. It's a good lead for sure and I appreciate the input.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
Before going the package disabler route, I've gone into developer options and have disabled automatic software update and am at the point of "stopping" the software update active app, but get a message saying the app cannot be stopped safely, so I'm still undecided. While looking around, I triggered one more software update postponement, so am down to one. Do you think it's safe to stop the software update in spite of the warning? I think it might help, or it might just reload next time phone is started.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
Best stop screwing around or it will make the decision for you... that update app is insidious and acts more like malware. It has just about every permissions there is.

If you don't package block it, don't be surprised if it supersedes your settings🤣
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
Agreed, just a little scared of package disabler/app site/credit card info, but getting close
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
I've used it at least 3 times over the years. MC and Visa purchases in the US are insured and for 5 bucks I don't sweat it.

That update app is a ball buster, I hate it. It's caused me more trouble than any Android malware has in the last 8 years🤣
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
Tried to buy it on app store the other day, but no dice, which would make me more comfortable
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
I know. It's not the first bad deal from Samsung. Re credit card, I know it's insured, but recently had to replace one due to fake charges, and it is a real pain.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Killing the package likely won't remove the update file, so it would depend on whether the update app uses a cached value or the existence of the update itself to trigger attempting.

I can't promise Package Disabler will even work, since it was banned long before Android 11 was released. If the only issue with it is using a credit card, though, then a prepaid card would solve that. It's going to add a few more dollars to the total cost, but adds that level of safety.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
It's not a scamer... Playstore is far more likely to bone you out of a refund.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
OK. Just bought, checking for email link and figure out how to install and use. I'm in it now!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Good luck. I hope it works out.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
error code failELM, which I saw mentioned on their site
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
OMG! Installed, activated, and disabled Software Update as first mentioned at beginning of this post. Now let's see if it works! Thanks for the help and encouragement. Shouldn't take long before I know, being on the last notification for forced update. I would say this is the last best chance, and if this doesn't work, nothing would, except root which I don't want to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
Yay. I -think- it needs that app to start the install process once downloaded. Never let it get that far.

Remember the only way to disable Package Disabler is by removing it as system Administrator! It will run in safe mode.

I've never had to do a factory reset because of it but be aware of that. It is also a useful diagnostic tool for finding problems.

Also if you use it to clear app data on Android system apps; it leaves no null marks which can cause the data clear to fail to work. Settings can't remove the null marks apparently. It gives you much better on the fly control of your device.

It also has an interactive widget. Check the widget box in it and that app will be toggled on/off when you tap the widget.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
I really hope it works for the update. So far it's the only thing I plan to use it for, but who knows what might come up. That error message on the activation went away by itself when I backspaced, and then showed up list of apps. The screenshot you sent at the beginning was helpful to confirm that's what I wanted. The whole thing was much less painful than it could have been. When you say system administrator, is developer mode sufficient? It's the first time I've needed or gone into it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
During installation there was a samsung page referring to knox that I had to agree to, but assume it wasn't tripped or something. Didn't know if that would block pkg disabler, so we'll see pretty soon if solution has been achieved.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
System Administrator is in the security section only. It's the highest permission level a user can give an app.

If you blocked the right app, software updates should no longer be shown on the settings menu, gone unless you enable it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
On app site, they talk about Package Info and say to get it free at playstore, but it is not there. Looks helpful, but apparently no longer available.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
I'm already seeing additional uses, like scanning for suspicious apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] bakStāger:
If you haven't figured out disabling updates already here's the core files needed to kill the updates via ADB, with a .bat file to auto-run the commands. Works great on Verizon S22 Ultra so it may also work well for you.

Just FYI you'll need to enable developer options on your phone go into settings>software information>build number (tap on it 7 times). Go back to the main settings menu, scroll down and developer options should be at the bottom of the list. Open it and turn on USB debugging. Then connect your phone to the pc and run the .bat file.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kat3k:
As a follow up, just wanted to say this app (package disabler pro) worked great and did the trick. Haven't heard a peep from Samsung threatening android update. Thanks for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] pdxrealtor:
I used package disabler pro years ago. Nice to see it's still around. Going to grab a copy now!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blackhawk:
It runs online now. I'm still using the older version. Normally firewall blocked. Not sure how well the cloud version will work.

I hope this doesn't cause me to do a massive work around in the near future.

Ha-ha, they're always trying to make me morph into a better predator it seems...🤣

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Jarod5001:
Hi, I have a redmi note 8.

It's rooted.

The freezes are random, are about 2 minutes long, the display stops, touchscreen doesn't respond nor the buttons (if it's off it won't unlock until the 2 minutes are over). If there is a sound playing, it continues during the "freezing". After that, I get a notification that the launcher is not responding.

This behaviour started since the upgrade to miui 12.5.

Now it's updated to 12.5.3 but the freezing is still there.

I have installed logcat. But I don't don't know what to look for or is there any better way to understand why it's happening and how to solve it. I would like to avoid factory reset, and if there is no other way, I may opt for a custom rom.

(the phone froze again while writing this post, that's becoming painful 😢)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
you can't know better than them when it comes to their OS

-a way to prevent that is to install a stable build and disable updates

-a better way is use a custom rom and get out of sh*tUI hell
