[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I use Android Auto every day and I haven't had a problem. Every few years I sometimes run into consistent problems with Android Auto and replacing the cable I'm using (with another high-quality USB 3.x cable) always fixes the issue.

I avoided gestures until I got the Pixel 6 Pro. I finally resigned myself and mostly haven't minded it. If you want to continue avoiding using the navbar but want a workaround for swiping up from the bottom, Nova Launcher might give you close to what you want.

If you want to use the navigation bar then Nova Launcher should be able to be configured to completely do what you want with the swipe up from the bottom gesture.

It's fair if you don't want to use a custom launcher, though. I've sworn by Nova for the last 10+ years IIRC. Every time I give something else a try, I go back, and I don't bother trying anything else anymore.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Guyinlaca:
Having used Samsung and OnePlus devices, I love the swipe up to go back feature. It results in far fewer accidental back presses than the default Google ones. For me, it was worth rooting and installing Fluid Navigation Gestures to get that feature on the Pixel 6 Pro.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fil3s:
Yeah, despite it's flaws, the p6pro is a great phone imo.

I got the 256gb model and bought a 30w pixel charger for it. Rooted it the 1st day I got it.

But the Bluetooth 😬 cuts out upon connection with my Sony bt headphones.

I'm on a13 DP2 and it's brilliant. Can't use viper tho

I love my p6pro too. 🤗
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
The only real complaint I have is battery life and photo quality. My pixel 2XL had better quality photos that weren't overly processed and were sharper.

Battery life is meh; I feel it drains too quickly and gets overly hot from just web browsing and texting.

I'd like to see more customization within the OS, since Samsung has an array of customization options Google refuses to provide. I don't mind using custom roms for that purpose, but they can be buggy and often break features from stock.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rp518dan:
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm still using my OnePlus 7 Pro. Yesterday, I used it for a Zoom meeting and the selfie camera is way better than the crappy one on my computer.

The Pixel 6 looks great. I'd get the Samsung 22,because I've hade Notes in the past, but their privacy policies are really creepy.

So, I have a friend in electronics, wont go into specifics, and he gave me a HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) and I want to unlock it. Problem is, I dont know how. I only know how to unlock the Elfin.

I know the geeks here at XDA are working hard on a Hard-SPL, and I want to help by putting my phone on the line to test it out, and hope it works.

Who would I contact, and what needs to be done?

I have a Touch Pro from Sprint. When I first got it the RSS feed would automaticly go to Opera when you pressed a link. Now for some reason it is going to Internet Explorer instead(which is useless). Does anyone know how to change it back to Opera? I have done many soft resets but this did not work. When I hard reset It goes back to Opera for awhile then goes back to Internet Explorer again. Please help.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Iyad22:
My s21 ultra snapdragon was fine until i got an update of February i guess and the camera got blurry as shown in the picture. Only the 1x . I went to Samsung and they said they cant do anything for me they dont even have the camera . And my phone did not fall or anything. I really really need help
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] qandres12:
Nothing we could really do. You could try a factory reset or reflashing the official firmware to see if it fixes.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Iyad22:
The weird thing is when u tap the camera from the back it works normally 🤔🤔🤔
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mpore14:
Hey, have you tried cleaning the lenses. Normally I would attribute this kind of issue from having debris on the lenses. Wipe all the holes at the back of the phone including the black area where the other sensors are located (laser)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Looks like an issue with the Optical Image Stabilization mechanism. Could be software or hardware. Can't say with certainty. It happens to me occasionally (once a month or so). Seems to me that the OIS mechanism gets stuck in a non optimal position and is unable to lock focus by itself.

The Quick fix (and the only thing that really works for me) is to whack the phone around the camera island. This seems to reset the OIS back into functional position. I'm not entirely sure but I think I've noticed this happening after bike rides or long walks which keep shaking the phone in my pocket. Maybe that throws the OIS out of alignment? I'm not sure. Anyway, just wanted to share my experience. YMMV.

TL;DR

1. Factory reset your phone. If not solved, it's a hardware issue and need camera module replaced.

2. If can't replace module, tap/whack the phone before taking photos if you notice focus is off. That should fix it temporarily.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TheNewGuy92:
I'm guessing the camera is focusing on the closes thing to the phone which is that ground and the rock sitting near you... as objects get furthur it seems to get blurry... if you look at the details of things that are captured in the bottom segment of the picture they look to be in focus.

my guess is the AI processing gone wrong, or badly implemented vs what they intended to do.

reproduce the issue then report it to samsung using samsung members app > get help > error report share the detail as much as you can and be specific of the issue. Also share the original image if you can.

Bruh if my oppo f1s from 2016 works normally and my s21 from last year need new camera samsung needs some quality control ??? What the hell
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Yes they do. And it's terrible to see these failures in so called premium flagship devices.

If you're still in warranty period, start pushing for replacement. Otherwise try a local repair shop that might have a camera module from an otherwise damaged phone.

And don't buy a Samsung device next time, if you want to teach them a lesson. The only thing companies respond to is a spanking with their customers' wallets.

We can rant and complain all we want on forums like these but unless we stop funding their bad practices and poor quality control by cutting off the money, they won't have any reason to change.

Sadly, the number of people that will do this is probably insignificant and the majority will continue as usual, so this is unlikely to make a dent immediately. But over time, maybe? Nokia was once king of all phones...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Iyad22:
Totally agree with u bro . Its always our loss. I went to Samsung official shop here in my country and they said they dont have the camera and they cant do anything and no one on my local shop have this camera all phones here are budget phones . I cant do anything right now i will keep the device or maybe wait for a software update to come out and maybe it will be fixed caus my phone never fell so this got to be software issue
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  Questions & Answers] arabrazilianguy:
I'm trying to mod my Samsung Galaxy Tab E, SM-T560, but no matter what ROM I use, wi-fi just never works. I have tried two versions of LineageOS, ViperOS and DotOS, but they all result in the same problem.

When I try to connect, the wifi label blinks and says "Saved", or sometimes "Authorization fail". No matter how many times I try, it never connects. Trough my modem manager app, I can see the device connecting for less than a second and than disconnecting. I don't think it's hardware problem, since wifi was working fine with original firmware.

After searching for similar problems, I found something about changing the mac adress in wlan_mac.bin file, but I guess this does not work in SM-T560, since I could not find this file in root. I also tried changing the mac adress trough console but it did not fix the wifi.

Can someone help with this please? It was suppose to be a gift, but now it's worse than it was before lol xD

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] valdonta:
What is the correct CSC and firmware for a UK SM T500?

Should there be a BTU version or is that only for the T505? Should it be EUX or EUY?

I need a CSC/firmware which is confirmed as having oem unlock available in dev options.

My tab was bought directly from samsung in the UK but I have since flashed the firmware so not sure what the originals were but I seem to have no way to get oem unlock to appear on the firmwares that I have been flashing.

The tab on the samsung site says the code is SM-T500NZAAEUA but on the tab its

SM-T500NZAAEUX - does that code change depending on the firmware? If so, which firmware should I use for the EUA version?

edit - I just put indian/INS firmware on it and oem unlock appeared right away?? Is eux somehow locked or something? However, there seems to then be no option to unlock the bootloader from download mode?

And then rebooting back into the os.. oem unlock has vanished.

Im never buying another samsung lol.

BTU
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] valdonta:
For the SM-T500? I had looked for a BTU firmware and couldnt find any reference to one existing, only for the T505. Friya says a BTU cant be found.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] lewmur:
BTU is the CSC for the UK. But it seems there isn't a separate UK version for the 500. You have the choice of the Europe (EUX), the U.S./Canadian (XAR) or maybe the Aussie (XSA). I know I've used the UK versions of stock ROMs here in the U.S. with no problems, so I'd think the XAR should work in the U.K.

This rom now official right ? I saw it on lineage official download with nightly status.

Anw, can i just download the nightly and update using updater or should i use sideload to update ?
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo @semuabaik, yes we are official now! One of 19 devices that got official builds of 19 heh (y)

You will need to manually update to official as OTA via Lineage Updater only works if you're already on an official build that is the same version. Upgrading versions must be done manually as any additions like GApps would need to be updated too.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] semuabaik:
Ah so the step is the same when i updated from 18 to 19.1

But i can't get my laptop to detect my phone anymore since i update to 19.1

I tried to change the cable, different slots, etc but nothing worked then i used the same cable to my brother's phone and every cables i tried worked.

I am to install lineageos 19, however when I install GApps, the phone gets stuck at the boot animations. I have wiped the phone and started from scratch 3 times. Any thoughts?

Edit: I am going to try the GApps version that doesn't specify 64 bit and report back.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Cyb3rk1ll:
Update, it boot loops no matter which version of GApps is used. I might go back to one of the builds that isn't a nightly and try that.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Incoherent Ian:
This is a fantastic surprise. Thanks so much @ThE_MarD & team! It is working brilliantly. Not at all what I'd expect from a nightly.

If you are running Windows, download the (Windows 8) USB drivers directly from ASUS support. Unpack and direct device manager to the unpacked drivers. Works up to W10 for ADB in powershell (prefix with .\), not sure about W11.

First time go for me & device can be restarted without issue. Wrote the recovery image, OS and gapps to SD rather than using ADB, but otherwise followed the official instructions using:

20220516 nightly

gapps version MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm64-20220416_174313

GL if you give it another go!
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo @Cyb3rk1ll , can you please specify which GApps and package name it is you are trying to install?

@Incoherent Ian , tbh it's crazy how good Z01R works on custom ROMs! It actually works best out of all my devices too haha... Only real downside is Widevine L1 because Asus wiped DRM keys on bootloader unlock...

From what I've heard? Newer Asus devices don't wipe DRM keys, so they can do L1 the lucky buggers

Hi, its possible relock the bootloader s SafetyNet pass im test?
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DarkAlpha.Sete:
So I believe I managed to brick my phone while retaining access to TWRP... I'm kinda panicking right now and would appreciate some help.

(I never flashed GAPPs throughout this as I want to degoogle my life, but I had them before)

I was running EvolutionX and decided to clean flash the latest LineageOS build. No errors, but booting resulted in it rebooting straight back to recovery. TWRP logs mentioned Android Rescue Party with reason enablefilecrypto.

The only thing I did that wasn't usual was flashing a new version of TWRP directly to boot_a instead of just boot.

Wiped Data and Cache, tried again, same thing. Restored my EvolutionX backup. Now it just got stuck on the Powered by Android screen, didn't do anything. Clean flashed EvolutionX and after a few reboots it entered a cycle of lockscreen for 2 seconds - boot animation - lockscreen.

This is when I decided to use the Linea recovery, use ADB sideloas and follow the installation steps as closely as possible, which resulted in the same recovery bootloop. Somewhere throughout all this I tried the LineageOS build just before the last (maybe the latest was broken) to no avail.

Sorry for the wall of text but I wanted to explain all that I've tried. I'm not sure what to do anymore. What can I do?
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo @DarkAlpha.Sete sorry but for some reason, I didn't get a notification for your post.

Just to check, when you said clean flash, did you format data? Wiping data in TWRP doesn't count as it doesn't format the part of the partition that handles encryption and I'm unsure if EvoX or other ROMs even have any encryption on Z01R.

On LineageOS, we use File-Based Encryption to ensure future compatibility with encryption on Android as Google has depreciated Full-Disk Encrytption back on A10. ZenUI stock ROM used FDE, so definitely coming from stock a Format Data is required (and tbh recommended on any device anyways).

Your device isn't bricked, it's just a matter of finding the solution and I suspect it is encryption is the issue.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DarkAlpha.Sete:
Intially, do I did not. Something I later found to be a mistake when chatting with the guys over at IRC. I also tried clean flashing with a regular format again to no avail. Even tried the LOS recovery and followed the install instructions as closely as possible (sideloading). TWRP logs would show a message about failing to enable file based encryption (Android Rescue Party). LOS just gave me a screen asking to factory reset, which solved nothing.

I also tried just flashing EvoX again (had no encryption), but it just rebooted back to recovery. Do note that every time I flashed LineageOS/EvolutionX I either formatted or wiped data and tried on both slots most of the times. Nothing changed. Another thing of note is that I was never flashing gapps (trying to degoogle).

Later I even tried LOS 18.1, but no boot as well. By the way, 19 rebooted to recovery right after the Powered by Android screen, but 18.1 got to the boot animation... and stayed there for 15 minutes after which I gave up and flashed stock via the bootloader. Tried flashing LOS again after stock - same thing -, so I'm on stock now.

Sorry for this insane wall of text, but I didn't want to miss anything. Hopefully anything can be taken out of this.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ThE_MarD:
Hmm super odd... Ok, next time you try it, can you check via TWRP if there is anything in here? And if so download a copy and send it to me?

/sys/fs/pstore

Or you can do via terminal

adb pull /sys/fs/pstore
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ammzul:
Dear @ The_Mard

First and foremost, fantastic and fabulous development. You have practically extended the life of the Asus Zenfone 5Z by a straight 12 months! As such in India, 5G - with all band support will take 6 to 12 months (especially handsets with mmwave support), till then I can manage with 5Z.

I have 3 sets of queries / doubts which I have posted as 3 different posts - for better understanding and clarity! When you do have spare time, please do share your thoughts - in the following posts!

I have 3 - 5Z mobiles and I use 2 as my daily driver and 1 as back-up. Yet to update Lineage OS - planning to start with Lineage OS from September 1st. Got to clarify before going all out.

@ThE_MarD
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ammzul:
My 1st / First Set of Queries! (My Handset is ZS621KL (Asus Zenfone 5z - 8 GB - 256 GB)

Would like to understand, whether the Lineage OS 19.x will support the standards features of Qualcomm 845 Chipset?

1. Cellular LTE Carrier Aggregation Support - 2x20 MHz carrier aggregation (Up-Load), 5x20 MHz carrier aggregation (Download).

I'm on Jio Network and I have CA supported SIM. Standard Asus ROM used to indicate 4G+ as the network indicator. Will Lineage OS support 2CA for Upload and 5CA for download?

2. Wi fi Support - Does it support Peak 256 QAM Wi-Fi, MU-MIMO & Multi-gigabit Wi-Fi. For MU-MIMO, is it 2x2 or 3x3?

3. Will Lineage OS support Qualcomm® Qualcomm® Quick Charge™ 4 technology?

4. Does Lineage OS support all the APIs - Vulkan® 1.1, OpenCL™ 2.0 Full, DirectX® 12 & OpenGL® ES 3.2?

5. Will Lineage OS support Qualcomm® aptX™ audio playback support & Qualcomm® aptX™ HD?

@ThE_MarD
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ammzul:
My 2nd / Second Set of Queries!

These set of queries are from your initial logs #

1. Is the ViLTE working now?

2. any plans to enable 4K UHD Video recording in LineageOS Snap Camera app itself?

3. Is there anyway to activate Widevine L1 using some method - from any other Asus Phone or any other 845 Chipset model or something of that sort? Will writing to Asus through email or Asus Forums help? I can attempt, in case if it's feasible!

@ThE_MarD
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ammzul:
My 3rd & Final Set of Queries!

1. Lineage OS Updates - When I check for updates in Lineage OS, I see the update files listed as full 900 MB or so - which means it's a full file download.

Not only it takes bandwidth, but, it seems to rewrite the whole code once again and not merely update the changes alone.

The official upgrades used to be incremental and small in size - where-in I know that it only updates the relevant part of the code which requires change.

Is my understanding right or am I off the standard lineage logic?

I'm also worried that one such FULL LINEAGE update one day will knock off my data and will start as if it's going to be a FRESH upgrade! it will disturb my day to day life an hence such questions!

2. Since I will be moving to Lineage OS, is there any app - which If I install in mobile will keep sending the errors / bugs as log file to the developer? This will help pass the bugs issues / automatically!

If my understanding is right, then the lines in the log file will be (possibly) coloured differentially - which means all error lines will be RED in colour which will help you to address the issues!

Point 2 above is just my wish list and hence was checking if an option of that sort is possible - either automatically or manually!

@ThE_MarD
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo ammzul, glad you're a fan of LineageOS for Z01R! :)

So for fancy carrier stuff? I did have to ask the community as I don't get access to a lot of those features in Canada... we really suck for service providers, oof...

1. Yes it does work. It does seem to be very picky depending on the carriers though.

2. Z01R supports MIMO 2x2

3. Z01R supports Quick Charge 3 and it is implemented into LineageOS, so you can get up to 18 Watts of charging power

4. Yes to all of those except DirectX 12 as that is on Windows OS only hehe. Android uses Vulkan or OpenGL for graphic APIs

5. Yes aptX and aptX HD are supported

1. ViLTE is very tempermental on any device running a custom ROM... and afaik? It's very picky per carrier on Z01R especially since Asus didn't really enable it even on stock ZenUI ROM...

2. Unfortuantely no... LineageOS Snap Camera is dead on 19.1, so it's just the AOSP camera2 app and it sucks lol... so I highly recommend switching to a gcam mod or a different camera app.

3. This is definitely an Asus problem. They wipe DRM keys on bootloader unlock... so we are stuck on Widevine L3. There is some guides about doing QMSCT back to oreo stock and relocking the bootloader and then flashing fastboot ROMs to even earlier builds of ZenUI but be very careful if you wish to attempt this as some users have bricked their devices and then had to QMSCT and lose IMEI and then it's a struggle to get everything working again... so if you do try it? I definitely recommend writing down your IMEI's first and even perform a QCN backup too.

1. LineageOS only provides full ROM files, no deltas. LOS updates will never nuke data as the userdata partition is never modified on OTA. Any LOS version upgrades (ie, 18.1 to 19.1) the users must always perform manually anyways too since it also requires reflashing any addons like GApps anyways.

2. For bug reports? You can send them here on XDA for me or the gitlab issue tracker which there is links to in on the LOS wiki The colored lines in logcat is more dependent on what app you use to read the logs. I just use VisualCode on my PC because it does everything I need and I can always toss on some plugins if I want extra functionality. There isn't any auto bug report submission so it will be up to you to record anything I might need to help diagnose any issues.

Also, you mentioned upgrading to a 5G device.... from everything I've seen in Canada? Eh, I wouldn't rush lol... not unless you came upon some killer deal... in Canada 5G has mainly so far lowered the latency of the connection and hasn't boosted the speeds... plus since the signal waves are a higher frequency than LTE? The signal strength tends to be lower too unless where you are is a big city with lots and lots of antennas everywhere... Then again, historically this was also true with LTE when it first launched in Canada but after a few years? It definitely was superior to 3G. This is just my experience though, maybe in India it'll be handled faster and better than Canada heh
