[Magisk] DankDaddy:
same problem here. tried everything i could find and no luck. might be a DRM problem? because 1 other issue i cant fix is apps like Netflix and prime video which are currently unusable because of DRM.
[Magisk] jale:
My app was updated today, and immidiatly after the update I tried activating/logging in, and to my surprise it worked. There is a one hour grace/waiting period to activate, and I'm currently waiting for that.

If it is not working after the wait, I will update this post. So if no update, it is working.

See my previous post in this thread about my setup.
[Magisk] DankDaddy:
same for me. so its probably okay for everyone for now. disable auto update on it now hahaha and lets hope it stays that way.
[Magisk] tsnake:
Can confirm, it works now without any change to Magisk or other modules.

I waited the 1h period and after that I was able to activate it and use it to login.

I am using Shamiko and a modified USNF module, but probably are not required.
[Magisk] aamnahid:
Great to know that it's working now. But, for next time i can give u guyz some more option to keep in mind:

**renaming/deleting the "twrp/fox" folder of the recovery, deleting all files related to magisk or xposed. Also, hiding developer mode option by "devoptshide" from lsposed. **

[F(x)tec Pro1-X Questions & Answers] smammy:
ETA: Workaround: take the SD card and SIM out during setup.

Hi all, my spouse received their Pro1X today (stock ROM). The build quality seems excellent, and they're super pumped about the keyboard and excited to make it their primary device. However, they immediately ran into an issue: they can't log into their Google account, either during first-boot or afterwards. Wi-Fi connects and we can load web sites in Chrome, but the Google login flow gives them the old "there was a problem communicating with google's servers" error.

We tried a few different ways of adding the account, did a factory reset, and even Google's "DisplayUnlockCaptcha" tool. Any thoughts on what might be going on? We can log into the account in a browser tab, but any attempt to add the account to the phone fails. We tried checking for Android system updates and got "updates are temporarily unavailable please try again later".

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
[Other SmartWatches] JorgeAldoJR:
I"ve found a nice VXP, i still not tried it for fear of bricking by smartwatch. Once upon a time, there was a RePhone based on MT2502, and it was possible to develop in Lua for it.

I've found it here :

Lua for RePhone

Its for MT2502 but i believe it count be adapted for later mediatek models...

Lua is a nice language to develop, we could make all the missing features, like twitter, facebook etc, maybe we cannot do a brower or youtube client, but many simpler things could be done using lua, including new watchfaces etc...

While i am not a C++ developer, i can help with Lua development.

We can cheaply have an equivalent to Watchy (that costs $50 bucks).

Edit :

Also found the following :

Lua on RePhone manual

unfotunately is paywalled.

Edit 2:

Further search yielded a firmware that has only Lua language :

Lua firmware for MT2502

I dont recommending flashing your smartwatch right away because we need more information.

In other words, it could do a smartwatch solely based on lua apps. Lua watchfaces etc.

Edit 3:

By searching the source code i see that :

1 - It runs init.lua if called as an app.

2 - It assumes the device to have an ST7789S as screen, might be wrong.

3 - It retargets the i/o to the serial port. Might be usefull to not have any character i/o at all.

From what i found in the source code, it calls init.lua then proceeds to create a console to accept commands, that might not be the right behaviour for writing smartwatch apps (maybe, start, run arbitary lua file from command line preferably, then quit).

[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] mfisher0:
Hi guys..

Basically what the subject line says... Phone randomly turns off. I turn it on again and it turns off.. II turn it on and finally after a few tries it runs... Sometimes I have to long press the power button to get it to turn on. am running the latest version of Android July 5 Android 12 stock and all apps are updated... I tried a factory reset and continue to have the same problem..

Any thoughts on a solution? Anyone else have a similar problem? I live in Spain and bought it online.. Turns out that I have a USA Google pixel 4a 5g so now its out of warranty after only one year and a half of use... Really disappointed :(
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] coolpoete:
Well, I sympathize with you my friend. My Pixel 4a5g just died recently after bootlooping for 2 months. I've tried everything from reading and researching tons of threads on Reddit and here on resetting, reflashing, etc, etc. My phone is also out of warranty and so Google support suggests I submit it for repair which will run me $350. For that price it it is simply not worth it. Sorry I don't have good news but I recently submitted a post called "my phone is fubard" describing my experience.

My suggestion is to back up everything you can and start looking for a new device. Basically, out of warranty means out of luck. All the best my friend.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiree1:
hi, I've been happy with stock f/w since my first 2015 unit to current 2019 pro unit but going to root my 2019 pro to get smb r/w access. (as far as I know, official system support is limited to read only and only few apps which has its own smb mounter support write access. to find out this was a bummer because I settled with local smb setup to avoid rooting to get rclone! what a...)

so, after hours spent with google-fu, I learned few things and would like to see if I'm ready.

0. I'm on experience 9.1.1 with 2019 pro(mdarcy)

1. there's a magisk module which support what I want, but not sure if it still works. (probably will, but it was written 3 years ago.)

GitHub - dnfm/shield_samba_rw_mounter: Shield TV SAMBA R/W mounter.

Shield TV SAMBA R/W mounter. Contribute to dnfm/shield_samba_rw_mounter development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

2. to run that module, I need root priviledge for apps > magisk installed

3. to accomplish #2,

3.1. first have to unlock bootloader, then

3.2. flash twrp recovery or patched bootloader.

4.1. with root, I'll lose ota and ai upscaling in return.(although unrooting and revert back to stock won't hard too much, its not sure you can get ai upscaling back.)

4.2. widevine or safetynet won't be affected by bl unlocking or rooting.

but most articles I found was more than a year old and mentioning experience 8 with 2017 pro, so its not 100% sure.

I'm still not sure which is better and safer way to go, twrp or patched bootloader.

developer image(pre root, adb only) was considered in the first place but dropped because it seems there's no real benefit over consumer image but only could make conflict with magisk.

do you think I'm ready to go? or any advice?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbthebeard@gmailcom:
I've tried for hours! I don't think it's possible to root experience 9. Followed and tried all examples( they are all old using version 8) but failed everytime, even the so called rooted Dev files appear to be normal unrooted os. Good luck, advise if you succeed.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] nolblues:
So i tried to install Pixel Experience on my Poco F3 wich runs miui 13. I failed and now my phone is in a constant fastboot mode. How can i save the phone and if the battery drains, i dont think it charges while in this mode, will i brick my phone?

Thanks for any help or advice.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
If simply the bootloader works, then I think it can still charge.

You need to give more details, what did you do exactly? You installed Pixel Experience through TWRP (official or non-official?), or through a different Recovery? Did you wipe data afterwards?

I highly recommend the YouTuber "munchy", does Xiaomi Modding/Flashing. He'll cover your Information-needs.

Either flash Stock ROM through Fastboot Mode using PC and Mi Flash/Command Prompt, or using TWRP and a full Recovery.zip. Munchy has a guide for both!

I personally have never done the latter, I only ever did Clean Flashes of the Stock ROM over Fastboot & my PC, but there's a risk. If e.g. the USB-cable randomly disconnects while flashing, that could be very dangerous and lead to a hardbrick.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] BigbyKun:
you can just flash the stock rom, and try again. munchy has guides that are easy to follow, i suggest you watch them.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] reg66:
Quick tip; if you do go ahead and flash stock fastboot rom using miflash, be sure to click 'clean all' in bottom right corner and NOT 'clean all and lock'.

But yeah, we ideally need more info to try to assist... like @cyanGalaxy says

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] deveals@cox.net:
Hello and good day! I've owned and enjoyed my S20+ for a couple years. I recently experienced faster battery drain and in hopes of correction, I upgraded to Android 12 and upgraded the battery to after market 5120mAh battery but device battery life remains close to the same. Two questions to the wise and all knowing XDA forum: 1) Is there a method or tool available to show true battery capacity (mine still shows @ 4370 mAh) and 2) is ultra power save or a similar tool available to place the device and all activity except select apps into deep sleep while screen is off? P.S. My device is rooted and also using Tasker to control device functions. Thanks. Danny.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] blackhawk:
Replace the battery before it fails potentially damaging or destroying the phone.

Any battery swelling is a failure.

Erratic fast charging is a symptom of a failure as well.

When a Li battery reaches 80%* of its initial capacity it is considered degraded. It has reached the end of it's useful service life.

Degraded Li's are more likely to fail. Battery replacement is part of routine maintenance.

I get about 1.5 years or less out of my heavily used N10+'s battery.

Your SOT gives a good indication of capacity. At 3 years it's likely time to replace it.

I have to A701s. One will not talk to the computer AT ALL via USB (but accepts charge). Not even when in the flashrom menu. It has been like this for months. Have hard reset but still no luck. 'Allow USB connections' is ticked. The windows xp bubble saying that is has found a new device doesn't even show.

The other A701 as of last night has stopped talking to the computer (usb also). It happily notices that USB is connected while in the flashrom menu, will take a new OS but while the phone is booted, no more communication. EDIT:: Took 'advanced network functionality' of and this one is fine.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] des3252:
So, i downloaded Google Assistant from the play market on the watches, and was able to bind it to replace Samsung Pay with GW4 Remap.

Though, "com.google.android.wearable.assistant/com.google.android.wearable.assistant.MainActivity" doesn't turn on the voice record right after launching the app.

How do i know what to type instead of "MainActivity" at the end, so that it would record my voice right from the start?

I know that it is doable since normal launch through the apps records voice right as i launch it just fine.

Also ***erto's google assistant has an "AudioRecordActivity" which doesn't seem to work for the standart assistant.

Any help? How do i know what to type?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] undermark5:
You can now map assistant to the button directly without needing 3rd party tools (unless you're trying to map to the secondary button)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] des3252:
yeah, i figured that, but, if i do this, i cant map recent apps to the secondary key
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] undermark5:
I'm not sure what you're talking about, I've got Google assistant mapped as long press of primary key, Google wallet/pay mapped as double press of primary key, and recent apps as secondary key.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] des3252:
I've got no way of changing how long press on primary button acts. I also don't have bixby at all (Though i am singed in through Samsung Health)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] des3252:
Turns out it's because there is no bixby in Russia, so, now i gotta figure out how to deal with this.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] undermark5:
Location could be the reason, but another reason may be if your watch isn't up to date. I've attached the versions I'm on.

I think if you want to use that remapping thing, you're better off using Assistant Go or whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] des3252:
actually, location is the reason, and I'm still trying to find a way to boot assistant with voice record active using gw4 remap.

Thanks.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ssnova:
Hi everyone, I decided to pick up a spare V20 as a walk around device (I won't use it as a phone, especially because you can't use HD voice on a custom Rom with the V20), just as a multi media player, camera, web browsing device, etc.

I picked up another V20 soely to root and put a custom rom on there to play with.

Any how, I saw this walk through for a recent walkthrough on rooting a V20, and

apparently the H910 (at&t version) is harder/more tedious to root

compared to the VS995 (verizon version):

Did I get the "wrong" V20 variant? Should I return it? Or is it still relatively easy to root the H910 and run a custom ROM in 2022?

TIA

Thanks for the insight and pointing me to the right direction @Darnrain1 !

On one of the H910's, I DEFINITELY want to put your custom rom on there and give it a run!

For now, I was trying to use one as a carry on device. However, with the way things are in my life right now, these projects will be in my backlog, haha... the main thing is, at least I have the hardware on hand.

I'll just leave them be for now. Slightly off topic, but I'd love to get my hands on a LG V50 as well one day. Nice camera, better speakers... though it still lacks the IR blaster, and most importantly, the ability to easily replace the battery. LG might have not been the best, but they certainly did some innovative/unique/great things in their tenure while in the smartphone space.
