[Google Pixel 6] larry62:
My Pixel 6 compass sensor is all over the place varying by as much as 14° while stationary. This was a controlled experiment. The phone case was removed. The compass was calibrated prior to testing. The phone was level sitting at the end of a cantilevered piece of wood far enough away from anything that could effect a compass (the primary support was a carbon fiber tripod with wood clamped to an aluminum Arca Swiss type rail). It was also outside away from buildings. As a comparison, a high quality Suunto Tandem sighting compass, a Silva orienteering compass and a Pixel 3 running the same application were perfectly stable. The two analog compasses were almost exactly pointing the same whereas the Pixel 3 was 2° different. The compass application was "Orienteering Compass & Map" by Calmatics. It was set to display magnetic north (not true north) so magnetic declination was ignored.

Has anyone else seen similar behavior with the Pixel 6?

Might be time for a warranty replacement.

on a quick test using clinometer from fdroid i have less then 1 degree "jitter" really i think it is less then .5 to be honest.

gpstest reports my local magnetic field at 44 ut +/- 1 "jitter"

satstat from fdroid reports eb 48 bx 15 by 15 bz -42 +/- 1 "jitter"

the compas on those apps don't show any jitter, i am sure they use smoothing.

for whatever that is worth.

Hi guys. I just bought a XiaoXin Pad Pro 2021 and I have 2 problems.

1. How to get Nearby Share working in XiaoXin Pad Pro? It says Nearby Share is not available on my device. I have enabled both bluetooth and location. I notice that it says I am giving my location info to baidu when I try to turn on location service. This seems a bit strange to me.

2. How to disable popular searches? I set my language to English and there are Chinese search suggestions appear on the screen. Is there a way to disable it?

Try again later. There are some server issues with Xiaomi at the moment.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Tuhinsar:
Surely. But I have been trying for 2 days continuously. Same error happening all the time. This( screenshot ) also happening from the beginning.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] pjaysnowden:
Are you signed into your Mi account in the tablet? If you are....then it is definitely a server issue. It happens a lot with Mi servers.

If you are not signed in....then sign in...and restart your tablet.

I guess your tablet is running the stock firmware?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Tuhinsar:
Yes I have already signed in. Yes it is stock firmware. Indian version. 2 days ago I bought the device. I didn't do anything with the software.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Shan8nu:
Hi sir, same thing with my side. I think it's because tablet came with latest version pre-installed. After you will get new update you can see update log afterwards because same thing was happened with my poco f1 when i bought it first time. Let's wait and see if it will be gone after new updates or not.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Tuhinsar:
Thank you so much.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Shan8nu:
Hi, as i mentioned in below comment, today I've installed may security patch and now we can see update history. Check screenshot below

No idea what useful changes they've made, but I'm seeing battery drain since the new version installed.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silly123456789:
they changed the navbar opacity,

and they redid the "free up storage" menu.

i'll look for more tomorrow
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XRaiderV18:
how do I get into the 'free up storage' menu? search returns ZIP on that.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silly123456789:
it usually comes up when you have low internal storage

that nofication saying it apparently actually did something
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mary8:
My HD 10 9th gen is getting slower and slower with each update. It has 16G free storage. Are they slowing down old devices, like the class action suit with Apple?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silly123456789:
its because gen 9's were meant to handle fire OS 6, not fire OS 7
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mary8:
Why did it auto update then?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silly123456789:
because fire OS 7 supports them, but gen 9's don't have the power to handle it,

so you end up getting a slow experience

a typical gen 9 has 1gb of ram and a quad core processer

a gen 10 has either 2gb of ram and quad cores with the base model, or 3gb of ram with those aformentioned quad cores on the plus model

gen 10's and gen 11's were designed with fire OS 7 in mind, thus the huge power jump

you can only really run fire OS 7 with 2gb of ram MINIMUM

so in other words, amazon in their infinite wisdom pushed out an update, pretty much unoptimised, that can drain your battery in a matter of about 40 minutes to an hour, and eventually kill your device, forcing you to buy a new one.

..did anyone else get an update from 7.3.2.3 to...wait for it.... 7.3.2.3?

if so...what did they do to the tablet this time?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeatherFire:
Well now I have to sign in to apps I have subscriptions to (such as the Sunday Times), but amazon never gave me a password for it, and now they say they cannot help.

Interestingly this is not a problem on my old 9th gen, only the 11th generation.

So 7.3.2.3 seems to be taking me back a couple of generations.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twopoint71:
Well, if they will not offer to help you get a password, ask them to help you cancel your subscription, and see how fast they get you a password/password reset.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeatherFire:
Amazon do not tell you your password, won't cancel your subscription (or you cancel the auto subscription, and they take it out anyway). Many people seem to be having this problem and ask the amazon forum for help but they don't know nor care.

Any Comment ?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] crimsonstang:
My older tablet had a dedicated kindle folder. I have over 5000 books downloaded offline and I can't get kindle app to put them in my library. I've tried local access settings and everything else I can think of.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I don't know anything about Kindle specifically, but it's worth a try using whatever Android file manager that you're comfortable with, go to where the file you want to open is, then you could try just opening the file and see if it opens with the Kindle app automatically, or the file manager should have an option to "Open With" (some do, anyway, like X-plore File Manager that I use if I long-press on a file).

I often forget this is how I have to get my unencrypted ePub files into Google's eBook Reader app.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Jake.S:
Could probably be that books is encrypted which means encryption key on your old tablet is needed to decrypt the current files, but kindle app on your new table might have different encryption key which is probably why it cannot read them. This usually is used to avoid offline usage/downloading and spreading the data to others for free if the books are paid ones.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] CM users:
To be honest, i really dont care much about the other features. It's only the image/camera quality that i care the most about.

So has anybody here do a side by side comparison of the camera quality on locked BL vs unlocked BL devices?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] m4f1050:
Currently have /e/ OS v0.23 installed, but Metro By T-Mobile is forcing VoLTE on July.

What STOCK firmware can I flash and be able to flash TWRP afterwards?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] m4f1050:
Long story short (a week long of tinkering) I finally found out how to bypass the Prenormal KG/RMM.

After flashing a STOCK ROM using Samfw modded ODIN, do not reboot, and flash TWRP afterwards. After restarting, it won't go into recovery mode with keys and when I rebooted to recovery via ADB it was loading the stock recovery(?) I enabled DEVELOPER OPTIONS and enabled USB DEBUGGING, OEM UNLOCK was not there and it had the Prenormal KG/RMM and it would not flash TWRP. I had to flash other stock files (and in AP I put TWRP) and after flashing, it jumped into TWRP recovery and I was able to flash the DM-Verify_ForceEncrypt, rebooted, went to DEVELOPER OPTIONS and OEM UNLOCK was there again. I rebooted to recovery via ADB and landed on TWRP and was able to flash Magisk v23.4.

NEW ISSUE:

I debloated the phone, removed ALL Samsung stuff (except Smart View for my car and ONE UI Home for task manager) BUT when I try to turn on WiFi Calling, it does not allow me to turn on. Does anybody know what I could've disabled that may have broken WiFi Calling?

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Stefan25st:
I'm interested in the battery difference between iphone 13 pro max and s22 ultra. I now take out with s22 ultra 5-6 hours of screen on time max but in fhd +. If I play pubg, it takes 3 and a half hours without stopping. Is the battery difference so big for the heavy user? Can someone give me some screen statistics on time in heavy use, in games but also in normal use youtube, instagram, fb ... I'm thinking of returning s22 ultra and taking 13 pro max because I'm not very satisfied with the battery s22 ultra. But if the difference is 1 hour then it's not worth the exchange ... I am very dissapointed. I paid $ 1500 for a phone and charged it 2x a day. I do not agree to compromise at 1500% I want to receive what I paid. 120hz -wqhd ... I barely have 5-6 hours screen on time with all apps in deep sleep, 30-40 brightness, fullhd +, location off, 5g off .. Is there any solution ?? this is the exynos variant. Except for the battery, the phone is superb.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] giosal:
I get 14-16 h of total battery life with 3-4 h screen on time, not a heavy use, just some light web browsing, mostly Google Now feed, as well as 2h of Spotify over Bluetooth
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Drake97:
I get similar results using the exynos variant. My phone uses 20-25% battery per hour for things like social media (Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat) and browsing/YouTube (FHD+ 120fps). I've seen people getting more than 6 hours screen-on-time with S22 Ultra, but I don't understand how they achieve it. The phone is great, but I am pretty disappointed by the battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] giosal:
Thanks for the confirmation. For me, it looks power consumption optimization issues, either hardware, software, or both. Let's hope that software optimization helps in the future
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Drake97:
The thing is that I've been using an S21 Ultra until last month (for the last 5 months). Its battery life was similar with the S22 Ultra I am using now, but slightly worse. I was intrigued by such poor battery life and I brought it to the Samsung Service (device was under warranty). After 2-3 days of service time, they fully refunded my S21 Ultra and I upgraded to the S22 Ultra. I really don't know what to think now, if this battery usage on my S22 Ultra is normal or if there are any problems with it....I can get with it through one day, but, again, I am intrigued that others are getting much better battery life results than me (about 10-15% per hour of screen-on-time).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
I think most people on here are getting better battery life due to app usage, debloating, deep sleeping apps and dark mode with amoled wallpapers. I also believe that the device care doesn't give accurate screen on time. Sometimes i would use my device for 10min and when i check screen on time it doesn't refresh immediately.

We have to remember that this panel is brighter and a lot more vivid that what we've had before.

My suggestion if you're not into doing a device reset. Uninstall and then reinstall your apps.

I did this with Facebook and i have seen an improvement. Also i keep seeing apps that are recommended for sleep due to high battery usage and you wont believe some of the apps.

Guys, just monitor and keep all your apps up to date.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
Going through your apps and weeding out those that burn through your battery is very important. As an example, I was using Google News app perusing some articles for about 30-40 minutes. Since I use DuckDuckGo with app tracking I later found that during that 1 session the Google News app sent 1401 tracking messages behind the scene. Lots of apps do these types of things and more, especially social media apps.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TLS993:
My pixel 6 pro is stuck in fastboot mode, and for some reason wont boot into android at all. It was running the android 13 beta 2, the device is not rooted, or anything. I have spent the best part of 2 hours navigating through the various bootloader/recovery menus on the phone, but not really getting anywhere. all I was trying to do was unenroll the phone from the beta updates, and return back to stock. it was downloading the latest public build after unenrolling the phone when something happened, and now it doesn't boot.

I am really stuck as I cant use the android flash tool to flash back to the public build of android 12, as I don't have OEM unlocking activated in developer settings on the phone, and obviously not being able to boot into android, means that I cant just restart to enable, like all the guides i have read tell you to do.

Is there a way to flash the phone back to stock android 12 through terminal some how without having OEM unlocking enabled? any help is appreciated, as I am currently looking at a £1000 paperweight at the moment.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] liggerz87:
There's another software on here called pixel flasher try that if they don't work see of more knowledgeable people message

might have to speak to Google and also were you bought it from

I had the 6 pro put on charge then turned on did restore from back up and it was like 5 to 100 of apps and then it did the march update and it boot looped that was on Saturday

I got into the safeboot mode or whatever it restated as that what I clicked then got into mode again then from there it's froze

I didn't get a replacement till Tuesday lol that was ee had no problems with new one
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Gytole:
How about using the android flash tool to reflash the latest beta that you were on?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Gytole:
Also...flashing without a bootloader unlock is like Android No-No ...no.1 ...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
Since you are able to boot into fastboot, your device isn't bricked and should be recoverable. The first thing you will want to try is booting into Safe Mode to enable OEM unlocking:

1. Press your phone's power button.

2. When the animation starts, press and hold your phone's volume down button. Keep holding it until the animation ends and your phone starts in safe mode.

3. You'll see "Safe mode" at the bottom of your screen.

If that doesn't work, you can also try to flashing the OTA in recovery mode. Lots of videos on YouTube on how to update via OTA in recovery mode. Here's the Android OTA download page - you won't lose your data with this method. Chose the right image.

Next option would be to try wipe or reset by using the Recovery Mode (this will wipe your phone): While in Fastboot/Bootloader, choose Recovery Mode with the Volume buttons. On your screen, “No command” is displayed. Press and hold the Power button. While you hold Power, press the Volume Up button and let go of both buttons quickly. Choose factory reset option (this will wipe your device so be sure to try safe mode and OTA update methods before this option if you are trying not to wipe the phone).

If you just want to get your phone back without trying to save data, try Google's Official Flash Tool. I know most will say it's a waste of time if your BL is locked - but there have been many reports of users fixing issues just like yours even with a locked Bootloader.

Android Flash Tool

flash.android.com

You'll need a Chrome browser.

Because you're on 13 Beta, you could try just reinstalling the Core OS with the web flash Tool. Uncheck all the boxes (don't wipe or re-lock etc).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] opz187:
Go back to 13 beta 2 for now. Download the ota onto cpu. Go into fastboot, boot into recovery. Factory wipe in recovery. Then in recovery, go to sideload via adb. Adb sideload the beta zip. You're welcome 👍. Of course you'll have to know how to use adb and all that but hopefully you do.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TLS993:
Thanks for this, I will give it a go. I have used ADB before, so should be fine with that
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TLS993:
Thankyou for the suggestion, my phone however will not boot into any form of android. It just boots straight to the fast boot screen every time. Pressing the power button, you see the Google logo, but it then boots straight to fastboot. It's as if there is no os on the device at all
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wulfgarfang:
You mention power button but you never said you held the volume down button as you were powering on. you must hold the volume down button.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
I understand it won't boot into Android. Your phone is fine. If you want help, dm me, I will get you sorted. You just need to re-flash Android using the above Flash tool.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TLS993:
Thanks everyone, After a bit of struggling to get the system image flashed, I finally managed to get it done using ADB sideload.

Took me around 15 attempts to get there, but I'm now up and running again. Thanks to everyone who replied, and assisted with the issue!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
That's good to hear - it's hard to brick a Pixel.

Best options to resolve issues is the Flash Tool, OTA Update or cli image. The OTA can be tricky when using platforms tools (adb/fastboot).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] anasmhds:
Hi

I ordered my phone from US, but did not realize that its Verizon OEM locked.

Any Idea how to unlock the bootloader? any way even paid method i am ready.

Now I am on A13 beta which is fine, can I flash a full rom using ADB update without any issues?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No Verizon device can ever have its bootloader unlocked. Sorry, you're just out of luck. With a locked bootloader, you can only ever upgrade to other official ROMs, such as Android 13 Beta 3, 4, and final release.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] anasmhds:
Thanks for your feedback.... just bad luck

Please how did you do for ADB sideload, because I now have the same problem as you and I'm still stuck on fastboot modeView attachment 5618033
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
Select recovery mode.

When you see No Command, press power and volume up at the same time (quickly). Then try factory reset. If that doesn't work, choose ota update and follow the links above.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] tatail:
Have same exact issue here.

When I try to sideload, I constantly get "cannot read" error.

dear which ota file u used .i have the same problem .i tried many ota files but when i used the sideload command it gives error cant read file.any help please
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bramgg:
Hi Alekos, I have the same issue as the OP. Pixel 6 pro is bricked, will only boot into recovery. Power+ Vol Down will not work as it boots traight back into recovery. Fastboot flashing doesn't work since bootloader is locked, and there is no way to unlock it since I can't boot into Android to turn on the Setting that allows me to perform an OEM Unlock. So, I'm in an endless loop, and it looks like literally no one on the interwebs has a solution on this.

Since you seem to have a lot of knowledge on this, would you possibly have any other things to try?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I take no pleasure in giving you this bad news, but without an unlocked bootloader, there's not a thing you can do except request an RMA.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Since you can get into recovery, and assuming you have USB Debugging enabled, have you tried to sideload the OTA?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bramgg:
Yes, I've tried to side load the OTA. But it failed at 50ish % since it didn't have permission to flash the image. USB debugging is not enabled, neither is the 'unlock OEM' developer option. Phone was already bricked before this was set.

Pixel software repair and android flash tool also don't work for this reason I guess. I'm lost.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] banshee28:
I am in a similar situation.. Is there anyways to have access to delete files with only fastboot available?

I think I need to free up space on my partition before it will flash properly?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
did you download the latest platform tools? make sure you are using 33.0.1 (run the command " adb --version ")

then try again (different usb port and/or cable). It should succeed in flashing the ota. it sounds like that permission error is either invalid platform tools or something else.

remove all previous platform tools (never use mininal adb). go into recovery mode and do a factory reset. go to adb update, plug it into the computer, and run the update again. make sure you are using the OTA image here.

maybe even before you start, on a windows machine, download Google USB Driver, extract it, right click on Android_winusb.inf (and find "install"). then plug it in while in ota update mode and flash the ota image.

make sure you flash the same OTA image (or newer) that you currently have installed - downgrading won't work.
