hi there. I have two same unis, and three batteries. two standard, one big capacity 3200mAh (personally I dont believe it have such capacity, it is some china crap). but all three had that issue (uni shut down when capacity still showing more as 30% or more %). tried to deplete the battery completely (when it wont boot, I put device to bootloader mode and wait untill died completelly). now it show again 0% on all three batteries. I dont want to say, that your method is bad :). no, I am just a lucky one, where the "wiki" methods worked correctly. and I think it is also important sometime charge the battery completelly, not only for couple of minutes, but until you see green light. when you deplete the battery completelly to zero (it is never zero, electronics integrated on the batter doesnt allow that) charging to full take much more time as before.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] sinmae:
powerdetect

one more thing, you can test, how much capacity your battery have. it is simple utility called power detect. you can find it in THIS thread or as attached file. just copy to device and run. the test will suspend itself after one hour, so set all settings as needed. it will automatically create file, where you can find all important information. before you use it first time, charge your battery to full.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] nfbarata:
Thank you for the reply, My battery still dies at 30% but no more at 70% and 50% and it lasts 3 days/nights in a row.

I tried the boot loader mode but it seemed it had a timeout, instead of dying from battery losse it died from some kind of time out :/ because I was still capable of juicing some more battery if i went again to boot loader...

I will check that app, thnks again
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Tahmaseeb:
wat i did..

well my battery used to shut off at 95 above present...wat i did was drain the battery with a 12 volt motor, took me a complete day for it to discharge, then i put it in the freezer, was suppose to put it for one night but i actually forgot bout me putting the battery in the freezer n i remembered after 2 days. then i charged it which also took around 18 hours to charge now my batter shouts itself at 70% n i can listen to music for 1.5 hours. which is a lot from a battery which was shutting at 95%

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] iamslimshady:
So i was tinkering with phone and YouTube app kept replacing vanced, so I uninstalled it with de-bloater app. Now when I tried to install vanced(root version) it gives error and I can't install YouTube from play store either. I am rooted with magisk and on derpfest os 12. Please help.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] GalaxyA325G:
I'll try to help you as I don't use Youtube myself, preferring the FOSS alternatives also...

While I don't know the reason you can't install YouTube Vanced (which allows YouTube users to block video ads & play music in the background), I know that Google has sent them a "cease-and-desist" letter and the owners of Vanced have shut it down... so even if you did install it - it wouldn't likely work anymore anyway.

My suggestion?

Give up on YouTube Vanced and maybe try the FOSS "NewPipe" YouTube replacement... which, as far as I know, still works fine (and Google has known about NewPipe for many years so they haven't been sent that same cease-and-desist letter AFAIK that Vance was sent. (Probably because they use only public API's, as stated in their web site.)

For your reference, below are some NewPipe screenshots from my tutorials on how to use NewPipe to replace YouTube.

Please let us all know how it works out so we all benefit from this joint effort. Thanks!
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] iamslimshady:
Hi, thanx for replying. I totally am going to try newpipe. But my question was that would there be any problem if YouTube (a system app) is uninstalled. Like a bootloop if i tried to reboot without fixing it?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] iamslimshady:
Hi kim, can you share screenshots of what error you getting.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] GalaxyA325G:
I'm trying to be helpful so don't hold me to my own experiences if this information below is wrong, but I've personally, one by one, disabled (or deleted) EVERY Google app in the past that I could, and VERY FEW cause major problems such that I have to re-enable them (e.g., disabling Google Play Store causes no major problems but disabling Google Play Services does cause major problems).

As for YouTube, as far as I've ever seen, disabling it causes no harm. Same with the GMail app. And Google's phone and contacts and messaging apps.

Of course, you have to REPLACE them with something if you want that functionality, but that's what third-party apps like NewPipe are for.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] iamslimshady:
Can you specify on which rom on which android version you tried this and the method too. I recently uninstalled YouTube with de-bloater and at first everything seemed fine but then root version of vanced wont install and started giving error and then i couldn't install original YouTube from play Store either. And the cherry on top my device was sent straight into a bootloop when I restarted it. Iam running derpfest os android 12 on hotdogb. Btw everything is fine now I managed to recover.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] GalaxyA325G:
That's what matters most!

Good for you!

I put all the version information in the screenshot below for you.

To be clear, I merely disabled mine (see screenshot below for details).

Given that Vanced is currently defunct (due to legal issues with Google, apparently), I don't think Vanced would work even if you could install it.

Luckily, the FOSS NewPipe app functionality completely replaces that of YouTube.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] iamslimshady:
Thanx for being helpful dude but remember that disabling and uninstalling aren't the same thing. Anyway, now that the problem is solved it doesn't matter.

Edit- vanced is working perfectly fine and I like more over newpipe because it offers a more complete experience, newpipe also does the job pretty well but I guess its on personal preference.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] GalaxyA325G:
What matters most is that it's working now for you!

I'm glad it worked out for you and that you compared YouTube Vanced & NewPipe to find that you enjoy one over the other, as a lot of people don't know that these are each alone far better than YouTube itself ever can be, especially in terms of privacy & download functionality.

Since every thread should help as many people as possible, I'll also note for the lurkers that there are others such as SkyTube and LibreTube which can also be used to replace YouTube.

For those reading this who are wishing to replace YouTube, there are also options such as the Kiwi Browser Chromium-based browser apparently developed by arnaud42 which has support for extensions that are specifically tailored for YouTube functionality.

There's also plain old AdBlock but it only blocks ads and doesn't give the users anything like the functionality of the others.

I dug deeper into what happened to YouTube Vanced recently and it was "only" taken offline because of Google's cease and desist letter ordering them to stop using YouTube's name and distributing packages that violated YouTube's terms of service so they had to pull down the links... but as you noted, the product still works (thank God!).

Apparently you can't download Vanced Manager from the Vanced website but if you have Vanced Manager already installed then you can download and install Vanced microG, Vanced Music, and, of course, YouTube Vanced. (Thank you for clarifying that data!).
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] iamslimshady:
It's always pleasure sharing information. And I would like to add one more thing, you can download vanced manager from its site. I did that countless times past week switching between roms.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] GalaxyA325G:
Much agreed that it's a pleasure sharing solutions as I hadn't used YouTube Vanced and you hadn't used NewPipe and now we both know more about each.

To save people time who are new to Vanced stuff, as I am, here's a quick synopsys of what I found just now going to the Vanced canonical site.

1. On Windows, I went to the Vanced Manager canonical site

2. Interestingly, on the top bar of the site is a link to NewPipe!

a. Vanced Manager

b. Vanced Music

c. Vanced MicroG

d. NewPipe

3. I pressed the Download Vanced Manager 2.6.0 button which downloaded "manager.zip" from my PC directly to the Android phone (which is mounted over Wi-Fi as a drive letter onto my PC)

4. I also pressed the MicroG button at that site which downloaded "microg.zip" directly from Windows onto the Android phone over Wi-Fi.

6. After unzipping, the respective APKs showed up on Android:

In summary, I confirmed that I was wrong in my initial post in assuming Google's cease-and-desist letter had put YouTube Vanced out of operation, and I thank you for clarifying that it can still easily be obtained.

Bear in mind I don't have a Google Account on my phone, so I'll be interested to see if YouTube Vanced sets up its own anonymous account (as does, for example, NewPipe and the Aurora Store).
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] iamslimshady:
That's sounds awesome how'd you set that up? (Phone mounted over wifi as a drive on pc)
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] GalaxyA325G:
Like we were saying, it's great to learn from each other, as we each have knowledge in some areas that others don't, and vice versa.

There are quite a few ways to set up the entire phone (even the root partition for a non-rooted phone!) as a "share" and/or "drive" letter on Windows, where I've tested EVERY free solution known to man over the years (if I do say so myself).

Offhand, off the top of my head, that includes...

a. adb/vysor/scrcpy

b. SMB/Cifs/Samba

c. FTP/FTPuse

d. LibMTP

e. WebDav/HTTP

f. Kies/KdeConnect/Nitroshare

etc.

It would take forever to describe them all, as it's not intuitive that, for example, SMB has fatal flaws related to port 445 when you'd "think" that's the way to go (given Cifs is native to Windows and Samba is robust on Linux).

It's also not intuitive that FTP doesn't reliably mount the device as a drive letter (even with FTPUse, which some people find useful but I don't).

My point is that when you actually test them each like I did, you find out that each is slightly different of course, and all work, but I find overall the best two methods with the fewest gotchas are:

1. WebDav

2. Adb/Vysor

I wrote up a tutorial for how to do each of those (so look up my posts) but we had to delete the tutorial because of a technical problem, so I need to spend the hours (and hours) to write it up again for people to benefit here.

Suffice to say that the WebDav setup is simple.

a. You install any decent free webdav server on Android

b. You run the native "net use" commands on Windows

C:\> net use Z: \\192.168.0.2@8080\DavWWWRoot /user:foo bar

Where "foo" & "bar" are the username & password defined in the webdav server on Android.

Note: Neither foo nor bar needs to be what you use on Windows or Android as they are both internal to the webdav server.

Note nothing needs to be installed on Windows and it works fine.

As for Adb/Vysor, suffice to say the setup is simple too:

a. You install adb.exe on Windows (you only need the executable)

b. You install Vysor on Windows

C:\> adb pair 192.168.0.2:12345 654321
C:\> adb connect 192.168.0.2:12345
C:\> adb devices

Note you only need the adb.exe executable which I get from the scrcpy download on SourceForge.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/scrcpy.mirror/

Note nothing needs to be installed on Android and it works fine.

Below are some representative screenshots.

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] richard_j_green:
Hi all,

It's been a while since I posted here but I'm starting to get bored with WM6 so fancy the shift to WM6.1

I read through the topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=435480 as this pointed me in the direction of some vanilla esk builds, however these still have a lot of modification done.

I'm after a ROM which is exactly as it comes out of the WM6.1 box, so none of the HTC gadgetry installed, MS Calculator and Windows Update still available etc. The only thing it needs to have is Office - Doesn't even matter if it's out of date because I can install the update from MS.

Is there such a ROM that anyone knows of?

Thanks

[Security Discussion] GalaxyA325G:
What are the security ramifications of changing your GSFID to foil fingerprinting?

After much googling and multiple failures, I have finally managed to change my supposedly permanent GSF ID (Google services framework ID) without needing to be rooted (and without having to factory reset the phone) specifically so that my phone is less vulnerable to malicious fingerprinting.

Given I realize almost nobody knows how to change the GSF-ID (it took me hours to figure it out but only minutes to perform), and even easier to display the results... hence I would like to ask the experts in this Security Discussion forum what the ramifications are.

Specifically what I don't know is why this unique ID (which uniquely identifies your phone!) isn't supposed to be changed, nor do I know what any given apps are doing with it - but I do know that it's super freaking important to Android (I can give gory details what happens if/when you change it for example).

It seems only "some" apps (those linked with GSF API's perhaps?) use this supposedly permanent personal tracking ID to watch your activities; but maybe they all do for all I know (do YOU know?).

I'd like to ask for MORE INFORMATION about how the GSF ID (and perhaps the Android ID too) are used by Android & by apps, but there's almost nothing out there on the Internet about them (ask me how I know this).

Give it's clearly a fingerprinting issue... can someone here give me more information about the ramifications of keeping/changing/deleting the GSF ID?

Thanks!

I'm not sure/when/where or how, but every time I reset my phone the 1st screen I see is a bios screen.

It says-

HTC Pocket BIOS v8.01

and then lists all the various things like CPU and memory.

I'm pretty sure it started appearing when I flashed one of the million roms I've tried over the last few weeks. I'm quite sure it wasn't there when I first got the phone.

Is there a way to turn this off?
