Im looking for someone to upgrade the android version on a old phone. It is a Ecom Smartex 01. This phone is very similar to the Sonim XP7 aka 7700. Currently it is running 4.4.4. I know it had 5.1.1 files available but they were taken down. I have the Sonim usb driver available. any devs? This phone is a spare so i can send it off.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 81IVRE:
Hi guys,

I'm trying to side load xap game files into a WP10 Nokia Lumia 650, XAP Deployer only works with my other Lumia 925 on WP8.1. Is there a way to install xap applications on WP10?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoachimP:
XAP Deployer will work if you switch on the developer mode. Just type developer in settings, you will find it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rohith1212:
My Galaxy Note 9 has the green screen issue, screen starts stuttering and becomes unresponsive when i try to increase the brightness. I have tried resetting my phone and flashing it with stock rom but nothing worked.

So, I'm using this app called PWMfree to overcome this issue but the green tint is still there, but recently I have observed that when i turn on the video enhancer and open youtube the green tint is not there anymore.

Is there anyway to make this video enhancer feature apply for the whole phone instead of just the Youtube?

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] lalwanigul:
Hi,

Using OP6T for years now and do not have any issue with it. It performs well in day to day task like Gaming or be it multi tasking but the only issue I have is the last software update received is Oxygen OS 11.1.2.2 based on Android 11 and I want to update my OP6T to Android 12 stable version and don't know how to do that.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] s.seila:
If you want to update to android 12, custom ROM is the only option available.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] lalwanigul:
But is it stable?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] s.seila:
I'm using EvoX since April 10. It very stable for me. You can try different roms for a few days to see which one work for better. Not much different in Performance and stability between all of those ROMs.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] lalwanigul:
And how can it be done?

Will this affect gaming experience?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] s.seila:
Personally i don't play mobile game that much this day. Don't take my word this personal preference.

Games perform really good. In my experience it even better than on OOS. On OOS I only get 50fps.

Here PUBG clip along with fps counter ( very short )

I've tried everything, soft resets, hard resets, clearing storage + formatting, but whenever i connect it into disk drive mode to my computer, it fails to find the Mass Storage Device, on my memory tab it says "Total storage card memory: Not Installed" and i just cant seem to get it to work. I really have no idea why this is happening.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] itoYo:
come on lad! i shouldnt even need to reply to this post.

this is normal, whenever you connect your phone as a USB drive it automatically locks the storage so your phone wont see it! its to stop two systems ( your PC and phone) from accessing/modifying the same source (storage)

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] FransUrbo:
I have a Seicane HU in my MB SLK55/2010 and I can't get the second video in working..

I took a copy of the webside with the model incase there's information there that could be of interest: Seicane H240N - Android Head Unit.

I'm still struggling to understand what all this means, what all the different models and specs mean, but I figure I'd ask the actuall question, maybe that will clear things up for me :).

Kernel: 4.19.111+ (#2262)

MCU: MTCE_HF_V3.55_1 (Jun 4 2020 11:17:35)

Build: rk3368-userdebug 10 QQ2A.200305.004.A1 eng.hct2.20200915.135247 test-keys

Memory: 4GB

Serial: D1CF459790D5B715

COU: Octa-core Cortex-A53 @ 1.5G

Model: H2(1280x720) - H240N

So I've connected the rear camera on #6 ("Rear Camera Video IN") which works perfectly. The HU switches to that as soon as I put the reverse gear in. I can also view it with apps on the HU.

I've connected the front camera on #7 and given the camera constant power. But I don't get any picture. The HU/Android can't find any camera! If I swapt the two, the front cam works just fine, so it's not the camera or the power to it..

View attachment 5587777

The actual cable harness simply say "Video IN" on that #7, so.. ?

View attachment 5587783

I've checked the "Car Settings -> Factory Settings" and as far as I can tell, I've configured it correctly.

View attachment 5587813

View attachment 5587817

As stated above, I'm still struggling to understand how these HU differ from "normal" Androids or Linux systems, BUT I'm thinking that maybe there's no driver for the second Video IN?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] FransUrbo:
Come to think of it, the apps (ALL apps I've tried) say they can't find ANY camera.. Which is weird, because I know for a fact that the rear one works just fine (HU switches to it automatically on reverse gear).

So maybe it's the apps/Android that can't handle CVBS cameras?? But then, if that's the case, is it possible to .. "make" a CVBS camera show up as a .. "real" (for lack of better word) camera?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] FransUrbo:
I just tried "F-Cam" and that have a small icon that allows you to choose front or rear cam. Rear cam works fine, but not the front one..

If I swap the two on the inputs, the front one works but not the rear.. So it's not the cameras..
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] FransUrbo:
Double checked, I have constant +12V to the front cam as soon as I turn the ignition on..
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] respo:
if you have avin app check do you have picture from front camera in that app
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] FransUrbo:
Oh, that works now! I'm sure it didn't used to. But I've been fiddling with the settings and now it works!

But the other apps don't.. Does that mean they don't "understand" ("look for") a camera on CVBS?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] respo:
its hard for me to explain when im not native english speaker but yes kind of they dont understand
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] FransUrbo:
Ok, thanx. Do you know if there's a driver (or app) that can .. "translate" the CVBS AVIN signal into a .. "proper" camera input for other apps?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] respo:
as i said its hard for me to explain but i will try

avin and signal that fcam receive is totally different

you can connect rear cam to video in and you will receive signal on avin app but you would not get on f cam on when you put in reverse

im not 100% sure but thats hardware problem not software

i dont know any easy app or driver solution so you only have programming solution if you know how to program etc

only solution for you is split screen and put avin and f cam app or change hu that have front cam in as my hu had and works perfect

i hope i helped you
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] FransUrbo:
It shouldn't be TOO hard to write a driver or app that can run in the background and "fool" the system that the CVBS video is actually USB video. I think..

IN THEORY (!!) it should be possible to write a Android kernel driver that emulates a USB device, but actually takes its input from CVBS and then present that on the USB side.

But either way, I think this is to much for me. A proper DVR camera is only £15-25, so not worth the trouble. I just have to bite the bullet and get a proper USB DVR camera instead..
[General Topics] lelepu:
The packaging fell apart. It's like the plastic case was made very poorly. This means the read only switch fell out and it doesn't want to go back in. My question is

1. Is there any way I can solder something onto the SD card chip, like jump a few pins and force it to be read/write all the time?

2. If not, is there any SD card that DOES NOT have a switch to lock the card in case the packaging fails and it falls out?

Here are the steps I did to unlock the bootloader

git clone https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient

cd mtkclient

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

python3 setup.py build

python3 setup.py install

python mtk xflash seccfg unlock <---- this did not work

python mtk da seccfg unlock <---- this one worked for me

And follow the instructions on the screen. Turn off phone and then hold both vol buttons and plug in cable

# To erase metadata and userdata (before flashing new rom)

python3 mtk e metadata,userdata,md_udc

Hold both vol buttons and plug in after running
[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] MarkLev:
Thanks for sharing your experience!

I am going to buy this phone: POCO M4 PRO 4G. But I have a few questions.

Can you root this device - POCO M4 PRO 4G? Can you install custom recovery such as TWRP?

Any advice for not bricking this device? If bricked, is there a way to unbrick it? (such as using special auth account like in"redmi note 8 pro" case)
[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] aricooperdavis:
Out of interest, why would you use this method to unlock the bootloader rather than use the official Xiaomi bootloader unlock tool?
[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] aricooperdavis:
So, I decided to go with the mtkclient bootloader unlock option because I don't like the idea of the official unlocking procedure requiring a SIM in the phone (maybe I'm paranoid...).

I have a POCO M4 Pro 4G (2201117PG) and the instructions worked for me.

Obviously you first have to activate developer mode and turn on USB debugging and OEM unlocking.

Then turn your phone off and ensure it's not plugged in via USB. Only once you've run the first mtkclient command (python mtk da seccfg unlock) do you plug the phone in then turn it on whilst holding both volume buttons simulaneously.

Follow the instructions. The process is very quick. When it is done unplug your phone and turn it on. For me a message warned me that my phone is corrupted and told me to click the power button to boot anyway.

Following the usual factory setup the unlocked bootloader status is displayed in the developer options settings pane.
[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] MarkLev:
Thank you very much for the detail instructions! :)

What are you going to do after unlocking bootloader? Root? Install TWRP revovery? Any instructions for the next steps?

MTK is famous for hard bricked phone, be careful.

Edit: I just saw your post on "how to root it":

hey i followed your tutorial to unlock my bootloader but after using fastboot erase fishheads but the following error appeared; (failed) remote; not allowed in locked state. so my bootloader is not unlocked. Explaining how it happened a little better; I tried to unlock the bootloader of my redmi note 11s 5g using another cellphone, I thought it wouldnt be such a bad idea, but my phone at the boot started to have the following error at the boot of my cellphone; dm verity corruption. I did not use my pc because at the time it was being fixed. I tried to use xiaomi unlock tool to unlock the bootloader to flash another rom to unbrick my device, but I was having a lot of erros about my mi account; it have to be connected at my device, but how tf I connect a mi account to a device with no system?
[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] soupap:
i tried using that on my redmi note 11s, didnt work
[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] Zastrix:
Yes. I use lineage OS recovery from the lineage ROM, but I've had success with TWRP as well.

Don't try to lock the bootloader after you're done. If you're installing a custom ROM, install the recommended firmware first and then the ROM you want.

I've bricked it by running OEM lock. After re-running https://github.com/notmyst33d/mtkclient-gui I was able to re-enter my system albeit with loosing all of my data.

Skips the 168 waiting period and if you have a soft bricked system you can recover + you don't have to register for anything you just use the tool directly.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (2021)] Jiehfeng:
The phone is a Xiaomi Redmi Note 11, and its WiFi is somehow capped at about 48Mbps. Do note that there is nothing wrong with the WiFi networks I test with, they're all Fibre connections that go above 100Mbps with different 2.4GHz and 5GHz APs (most importantly, another flagship Xiaomi phone I have does get those speeds).

I can't figure out why it can't go above this speed, I've tried everything I could so now I would like to know if there are some apps or such that display diagnostic data which would make it easy to pinpoint what exactly is related to this speed limit. The phone should in no way also pose a hardware limitation, it's rated for AC WiFi networks and the Snapdragon 680 should be more than enough.

What's funny is I have a Redmi Note 8 as well, and it has the same exact issue. It also can't go above 48Mbps.

One thing I noticed after browsing through that phone's threads online is that it used to be a Bluetooth and 2.4GHz issue. So I tested this with my Redmi Note 11, and doing things like changing the GPS WiFi/Bluetooth scanning on while turning off Bluetooth thereafter and not doing all that gets the speeds from 36-41Mbps to the 48Mbps theoretical 'limit'.

It may very well be connected to sharing the wireless hardware in the phone with other features, and the OS is somehow limiting the WiFi speeds to get things done.

In any case, TL;DR what apps or resources can I use to diagnose WiFi speeds on Android (preferably MIUI), which would hopefully also include other wireless diagnostics information to probe the relevant causes as to why my Redmi phones don't go above 48Mbps?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (2021)] TinchoX89:
My Redmi Note 11 also has this issue, sometimes it reaches 300mbps which is my internet speed, but most the times it limits itself to 50-100 mpbs for no apparent reason.

MIUI 14 artificially limiting wifi speeds for god knows what reason.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] lloydsw:
This is my first tablet or phone to not include a charging block. From other devices, I have a 65W, 45W and something smaller. They all seem to work, but I don't want to kill battery longevity by using one too big. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] roirraW "edor" ehT:
TL;DR - it won't hurt at all to use a higher-wattage charging block than your device can take advantage of. i.e. 65W charger with a 45W device is just fine - it still won't charge at higher than 45W unless the charger is a very cheap quality and badly made.

Longer explanation:

Charging blocks should not normally charge at any faster rate than the device plugged into it can accept. I only word it like that because it's true that normally, amperage is "pulled", not "pushed", i.e. if you have a 100W charger but your device only charges at a maximum of 45W, it would commonly be just as safe using the 100W charger because the device will still only pull 45 watts.

Technically, it is possible to design devices that "push" a set amount of amperage, but this is reasonably rare and I wouldn't expect any good quality charging block to do so. A lower-quality charging block might make all sorts of mistakes.

Conversely, using a lower than maximum wattage charger is also okay, at least a high-quality one - and may contribute to an overall healthier battery especially a few years from now.

Once my Tab S8 Ultra arrives, I plan on experimenting with some chargers I already have, but I definitely don't have any close to 45W yet. I want to find out what the minimum is to charge the device while still using it, and at least maintain but preferably still increase the battery charge as it's used.
