All the tool really does is just wipe a couple partitions that contain the carrier lock data. Just use the latest mtkclient from github, let me know if the latest version does the trick. Just launch mtk_gui and connect the phone.

Hi guys, I came across this radio on youtube here is the link and the guy who posted doesn't answer, so I was wondering if is the canbus or the radio that allows the backup beeping to sound on the car speakers or if he did anything else? In any case if you know or can reach to him and let me know what or how he did it that would be great...

Thanks.

Hello. I have Redmi Note 10 Pro EEA on latest MIUI 13 Android 12 stock ROM.

In settings, wifi assistant, the option to disable "Select best networks automatically" is no longer visible.

I would like to disable that feature.

How can I do that please ?

Many thanks.

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] krolkrowa:
Hi,

I have a Chinese Mi 11 Ultra. I have used the Mi flash tool to flash the EU based version of the ROM but I did not lock the bootloader. This has brought in some problems, such as GPay not working, which I dont really mind but the Mcdonalds app with the coupons also wont start up.

I am wondering, if I get the EU miui13 fastboot rom (original from Xiaomi), and use the mi flash tool to flash it, can I also lock the bootloader? Will it be fine or will it brick the device?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Necrogenisis:
I believe this answers your question: https://c.mi.com/thread-2584760-1-1.html

The TLDR is you can only lock bootloader in China devices if you flash the China ROM. Some people claim to have successfully flashed China ROMs on Glogal phones and locked the bootloader without any issues but you'd be taking a risk.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Deleted member 1755208:
do not close bootloader do not do it

you only close bootloader if your in CN version

i had to pay 70 $ to bring my mi 11 ultra from dead, after installing miui 13 EEA version and locked bootloader using flashmiui
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] krolkrowa:
Hi, Thanks for the answer. Guess I cant lock the bootloader then. Do you know of anyway to get the services working that require a locked bootloader? Iirc it's to so with safetynet but I cant remember if it was possible to overcome this with magisk. I havent been on the rooting scene for a long time so I didnt follow any updates
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hungragezone:
Magisk + safetynet fix

Done
[Touch HD Accessories] gervasius:
Does it comes with screen protector in the box? Like Touch Pro..

Asking because I ordered one, until it comes from Hong Kong...

to have something on screen...

thx
[Touch HD Accessories] fdevogel:
yes there is, as is a soft protection bag.
[Touch HD Accessories] imee.h:
there is but...

Yes there is a screen protector in the box but I heard that it is not the top quality... So you better buy a quality type like BRANDO ULTRA CLEAR Protector Plus.

I will by this type when I buy my HD!:) I used the same brand for my Qtek S200 for over a year and I'm very satisfied with it.
[Touch HD Accessories] Matterhorn:
I think the screen protector is not too bad, it is hard plastic not that rubbery stuff. It is certainly nothing like those cheap ones that you find in local shops and it covers the whole face of the phone, not just the screen. The cloth bag cover that comes with it is OK, but it is a bit thick. I found a black silicon cover that is made for the iPhone 3G, I made the hole bigger for the earphone plug and a new hole in the back for the camera. I saw this video of it on YouTube (not my video :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUOgFQ8dpzo . It isn't a perfect fit but it's pretty good until the official covers are available.

The hard plastic covers made for the iPhone won't fit the HD
[Touch HD Accessories] pzucchel:
My story: i snobbed the screen protector since i never used any in the last 10 years, and peeled it badly since i thought i would have never used it...but looking better to it, it was not too bad! then, I ordered two original replacement protectors from HTC, installed it VERY carefully....and now they are essentially invisible and you'd need time to realize that the screen protector is actually present....

:o:o:o:o

So, refrain from excitement when you open the box!
[Touch HD Accessories] AndyCr15:
I thought I'd read to steer clear of the protector in the box? You guys are saying to go ahead and put it on?
[Touch HD Accessories] razor_amd:
Screen protector

I put mine screen protector that came with phone and don't really notice it at all... The pouch is a little too tight for phone so i bought another one...
[Touch HD Accessories] Noony:
I agree about the original pouch. What are you using now (and where did you get in from)?

Thanks,
[Touch HD Accessories] Insaneboy:
Well, i disagree.

I seem to be able to get the phone in it with minimun effort, seems that it expands after a little use, like new shoes or clothes...
[Touch HD Accessories] tyronne1126:
my gf put on the screen protector that came with the phone.. and i guess shes good at it haha cuz we put it on with no bubbles.. no edges up.. no nothing. PERFECT. it looks great. dont even notice it. ive been using the pouch that came with it and i like it. works fine.. squeeze from the bottom to take it out and just hold it slightly firm on the sides to put it in.. pushing down from the 3.5mm jack so you dont accidentally turn on the screen again with the power button.. gets slightly easier after a bit .. dont be scared =P
[Touch HD Accessories] X-Edge:
Is the screen protector in the box the same as the ones sold on htcaccessorystore.com (and other places like expansys) :

HTC Touch HD Screen Protector SP P200 (2 Pieces) ??

http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=173045
[Touch HD Accessories] ed2004:
I managed to put on the original screen protector with little hassle but hate the quality. Hope martins ship their fast.
[Touch HD Accessories] Surfer_D:
is there a need for screen protector at all. I mean can I damage thescreen with stylus or my fingers?
[Touch HD Accessories] ed2004:
YES! and a good quality piece!

I had accidentally hit my kaiser screen with seat belt metal piece, thinking screen is damaged. Therefore, not willing to remove the film to face the reality. Only yesterday, after confirming my blackstone is configured and running well, I removed my Kaiser screen protector. The screen is good as new. The dent on the film is "high"! Thanks to the martin shield.
[Touch HD Accessories] Surfer_D:
I know but I mean with stylus or fingers not other things?
[Touch HD Accessories] Moandal:
Yes I'd also like to know if a screen protector is necessary, assuming yyou don't abuse it.

Also would a cheap one from ebay be any good, and if not why not?
[Touch HD Accessories] sedde:
Now how the hell you did that ? :< I re-applied it 150 times and i need to be like super precise on it not to go left or right even for 0.0001mm
[Touch HD Accessories] jonajuna:
hell yeah screen protectors are necessary! :)

the screen will mark over time with stylus use and of course anything that "accidentally" hits it that is hard will cause marks, and no matter how careful you are, accidents happen :)

ive got the packaged screen protector on and its not too bad but i have a martin fields one ready to go on instead once the htc one starts to wear
[Touch HD Accessories] PGMMA:
I tried multiple times to apply the protector and was always off by a hair by the time got to the bottom. When I finally got it on straight there was enough dust on under it that I got disgusted and peeled it off again. I didn't give up though and ordered the OEM screen protectors again (two to a pack) and this is how I finally installed it properly:

1. Wash your hands.

2. Wipe the phone screen clean of any dust and fingerprints.

2. Find as dust free an environment that you have.

3. Peel the top edge of the protector only then line up this up with the top of the phone.

4. Slowly apply to the protector to the phone while allowing the backing to peel off. Make sure you don't allow it to totally come off.

5. You will soon know if it's going to lay flat in the slightly recessed area of the phone screen. The protector is exactly the same size as the recessed area and there is no room for error.

6. If not, peel the protector off again while allowing the backing to reseat on the protector but not all the way to the top.

7. Reposition the top edge very slightly and repeat. It will probably take several tries to get it right. It took me about 6 times but it looks very good when done.

The replacement protectors are easier to apply because the backing is the same size as the protector so it's easier to align with the phone.

If you're careful to not touch the adhesive side of the protector and are lucky enough not to have any dust settle on it, the final result is indistinguishable from the unprotected phone surface.
[Touch HD Accessories] golightlygl:
I'm very curious. Does anybody know why HTC doesn't supply the machine with the screen protector already installed?
[Touch HD Accessories] Noony:
Bacause the installation of a screen protector would add 1hr to the production time ;-)

i.e. they are too difficult to apply!
[Touch HD Accessories] Olaviman:
I installed a official HTC protector and noticed that it's little bit too tight-fitting. On top it's perfect, on right it's perfect, on bottom it's perfect, on the left side up is just perfect and left side down of the phone also, BUT middle part on left gets stripping out cos' it touches the metal edge too close. If I would knew that a protector is too wide I would show a knive for it before putting it on :D That's only like 0.01mm too wide but it's enogh...
[Touch HD Accessories] Noony:
I agree. Mine was VERY slightly too big!
[Touch HD Accessories] tsadek:
Run the shower to remove the dust from the bathroom and then apply the screen protector in there (after you've turned off the shower!)
[Touch HD Accessories] ~~Tito~~:
That's a good Idea! Just don't sit on a toilet lid up, close both :D, don't want any accidents to happen :eek:.
[Touch HD Accessories] iamwhoiam:
thx for tip, will see if i can get mine applied now :D
[Touch HD Accessories] iamwhoiam:
with a combination of steam, sellotape and lens cloth... i've achieved zero bubbles & zero dust in about 5 minutes :)
[Touch HD Accessories] twisted-pixel:
I'm more concerned about taking it off to apply another one. Have read horrifc stories about them damaging the surface of the screen when being taken off.
[Touch HD Accessories] Moandal:
I had the same problem - despite many attempts I couldn't quite get it to fit 100% perfectly. So I bought a pack of 6 including cloth from ecell on ebay for less than £3 - fits perfectly. You won't need 6 of them but it gives you the confidence to know that if you mess up the fitting you've got another 5 attempts! There's no point in buying anything more expensive.
[Touch HD Accessories] gellofish:
I feel so much better that I wasn't the only one to screw up the original screen protector. I went through 3 before I was happy ... just dreading changing this one when it gets messed up!!
[Touch HD Accessories] dfkd:
After doing it every couple months for the last 5 years on my Toshiba E800 and my Touch (Elf) I was somehow able to apply it dust free and perfectly centered on my first try.

Only bubbleish spot is up against the ear speaker. Just won't stick.
[Touch HD Accessories] nogs:
Its the same here, a perfect fit all over except for a fraction left<===>right of the ear peice.

Tried to heat the plastic up and press it but it still comes back unstuck.

I'm happy...

Nogs
[Touch HD Accessories] ghorricks:
But are you really happy...

It's easy to say you are but everytime you look at the TOUCH HD, you see the imperfection. :(

I had the "too big" issue with my original in the box protector, but ordered 3 "screen guard pro" from play.com.

They are great, got it on my second attempt.

Gav
[Touch HD Accessories] this_mike:
Interested to hear that folks have had luck fitting the one from the box - mine was too wide and overlapped both sides! I used it until the Brando Ultraclear arrived, which was 1-2mm too short but fitted perfectly otherwise.

Unfortunately that unit got swapped out and I've had to order a new protector... I'm going to try a Martin Fields from expansys when it arrives in a few days :-(
[Touch HD Accessories] trice1921:
I ordered these last week and they came this morning. They managed to send me the Tocuh Pro protectors by mistake! Really annoyed with play.com
[Touch HD Accessories] Secondbaseman12:
Is it posible to aply the screenprotector that came with the htc more then once?
[Touch HD Accessories] Icefeldt:
go into yourbathroom, turn on the shower, and adjust it to very hot.

so that the humidity in the room rises.

with this method, there is no more dust in the air!
[Touch HD Accessories] PGMMA:
Yes, if you don't touch the adhesive side and are lucky enough to keep floating dust particles from settling on the phone or sticking to the protector. I used a lens blower to remove dust particles from the phone while applying. It's best to always keep the bottom section attached to the backing while applying so you don't touch the adhesive side. Once the protector is on the phone, it can be removed again and re-applied but you'll need the (clean and dust free) backing again to do a good job.
[Touch HD Accessories] Secondbaseman12:
Thanks PGMMA final question, so cleaning it with water/soap is not a option with this protector?
[Touch HD Accessories] PGMMA:
Soap and water definately won't work but some manufacturers recommend using an adhesive lint roller to remove dust. This didn't work for me though.
[Touch HD Accessories] Secondbaseman12:
Thank you for clearing that up.
[Touch HD Accessories] TravUK:
I messed up my screen protector the first few times, and so washed it under the warm tap with washing up liquid. I then shook the water off and left it to dry. I then cut strips of masking tape and overlapped them onto the sticky side of the screen protector. I also used masking tape to lift any dust particles from the phone. After removing the masking tape from the protector, once it was dry, it went on just fine and adheared to the screen perfectly (once I got it lined up right.)

I did get a couple of particles of dust land on the phone while doing it, so I just peeled back the protector a little and lifted the dust with another piece of masking tape.

A little learning, a little time & patience and now you'd have to know it was there to be able to see it.
[Touch HD Accessories] Secondbaseman12:
So you did washed your protector that came with the HTC?
[Touch HD Accessories] DRTigerlilly:
Yeah i washed mine too, and realized that it was completely washable & could still be reapplied afterward.
[Touch HD Accessories] TravUK:
Yep. Washed it several times and it still stuck perfectly.
[Touch HD Accessories] nogs:
Yes i am happy, From what i have seem from the packaged screen protectors.... Some to big and my friends to small width wise.. I must have been a little fortunate.

I did consider buying a martain feilds.... But decided not to after a freinds bought one for his Polaris that i sold him and it was no different than the boxed protector + the camera lense cover.

[Touch HD Accessories] Olaviman:
My original HTC screen protector is now 4 months old and there's a hole at upper right corner, there where X button locates:confused: It is like top layer have got broken and when I slide a stylus over that hole, it moves and top layer is ripping apart more.

I was little bit shocked when I saw that. What is the best way to remove old protector if I want replace it?
[Touch HD Accessories] Noony:
Try sticking sellotape on one corner and peel up slowly, it should bring the screen protector off with it.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] echo124:
Hi what is secret to using file manager on phone Android 10+ with su access to read and write in system - remove bloat apps? I have su access, but I read in 10+ file system not allow from file manager, only need use adb. How to use file manager with su to remove manually on Android 10+? I get error when deleting app from any file manager with su access "cannot delete". Danke.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] SirisRui:
Well, i guess that i can reply your question. It seems that we can't mount R/W due to Google's use of dynamic partitions for new version android devices.

However, we still have a way to fix it. Use su permissions and dd command to export those partitions which you want to modify (for example: system, product, vendor, and oem, but oem special), unpack and then repack, at last reboot you devices into fastbootd mode and flash back those partitions into you devices. reboot, now, you can R/W those partitions .

if you need to edit oem partition. You need edit a file in vendor partition firstly. Export and unpacking vendor partition. Finding a file which called "fstab.qcom". Open it and delect（,avb_keys=/product/etc/security/avb/oem.avbpubkey）code inside. Repacking and flash into you devices again. After this, the repackaged oem partition can be mounted correctly by flashing it again otherwise the oem partition can not be mounted (no files inside).

Is it possible to hide the status bar so an application can fill the entire screen? The terminal commands I used to use on my Pixel 3 XL are no longer working ☹️
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cultofluna:
No
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] somethingsomethingroot:
The last Magisk module I had that could change the height caused boot loops since 12.1, but even before then messing around with those settings could cause them. Google really doesn't want anyone messing with status bar on this phone apparently.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Kontex:
You can use this Magisk Modul for a rooted phone https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/G-VisualMod . After installation you have to activate the notch killer profile in the systems settings in developer mode section below the DPI setting.

If the app itself doesn't support fullscreen you can install https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed with https://repo.xposed.info/module/ru.bluecat.android.xposed.mods.appsettings . Appsettings allows to define the fullscreen mode.

Otherwise you can look for a similar app that supports fullscreen for your intended use.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] HipKat:
I wonder if Nova Launcher has gestures to do that. I know that you can with the Dock.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Face_Plant:
Thanks! I'll give those a shot

I didn't see any options to hide the status bar in Nova. I am using the free version, though, so my options for gestures are pretty limited

I'm not trying to hide the status bar on my home screen. I'm only trying to hide it in applications that I might have open for long periods of time while reading posts or articles, like the XDA app, Chrome, Reddit, Tapatalk, etc.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mookiexl:
It is possible with system ui tuner but the space occupied by the status bar is still unusable by apps. This may be a limitation with having the punch hole because my poco f2pro and oneplus 7 pro both can still go completely immersive on A12 but they are true full screen phones.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ggrant3876:
Tried system tuner ui by zachary in November when I got the phone and again just now. i'm proficient with adb and did the commands for non root and still not working for me. Works on my Note 20 Ultra on android 12.
