[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Sterob24:
Hi,

I bought an immaculate looking, roughly 2 year old, Samsung S8 recently and all works fine, except, no matter how hard I try, I connect get windows 10 and now windows 11 to detect the phone, so I can download photos off it. It charges, but it does not appear in "This PC" as a drive. Previous owners gave me a blank look when I mentioned it. They are not PC savy. Maybe they never tried to do this...dunno. Anyway I thought I could fix it.....I WANT to fix it.

I've updated the OS and USB drivers, enabled developer mode,tried different usb ports, different PC's , different usb cables and yesterday I fitted a new USB daughter board...still no worky......

I can't even remember all the things I've tried...

I have now bought a new S10 and that all works as it should. S8 still doesn't work.

I am out of ideas.....All I can think of to do now is to replace the motherboard! Extreme, and I don't even know if it will fix it......

How can it not?....lol

I know it doesn't make sense to spend too much on a S8 but it just irks me!

I hope someone can enlighen me....

If you're using the newest drivers,it won't work.I experienced this as well with my Note 8,and had to roll back to previous driver versions to get it to connect.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Sterob24:
Thanks.....I am not sure what versions I have tried now. I would have thought the first attempt would have been on the older driver, and then I updated. Maybe I need to try again. Try some older versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Surgemanxx:
Give this a try.Some have had fairly good luck with it since it has old and newer versions of the driver with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Sterob24:
I tried the Smart Switch version you posted. no dice.

I DID have have a small amount of luck....I did realise that I don't have the MTP option in Developer Options> Default USB configuration, like all the videos show. ( This is disturbing....why? )

I tried 'transferring images' option , re-booted phone and now I'm getting the windows 'ding' and the 'usb device not recognised' error, so thats progress...lol

After that I re-installed the older samsung usb drivers on my pc with no change....same error.

I've found about 8 older drivers, but have only tried 3. I gets a bit painful blindly installing, uninstalling, installing....

Not having the MTP option seems to me. to be the key, but I don't know how to fix it. Did Samsung remove the option in an update?...dunno

Hay guys I'm on a Realme GT 2 Neo I'm stuck on A9 android 11 build

Build attached below.

Can anyone advice me on how to flash android 12? I have a unlocked bootloader.
[Realme GT Neo 2] wiretask:
Update via OTA, wait for some time to receive updates.
[Realme GT Neo 2] sten_amund:
What you can try is to install a VPN app from Play store and search for updates with an active VPN connection to one of the countries within the 'RMX3370export' factory version area. Personally I live in Sweden with the 'RMX3370GDPR' factory version, so I established a VPN connection to Germany, and voila, updates were available.

Good luck

I recently decided to change the standard equipment of my Bmw E90 for an android radio.

I bought the radio on amazon and taking advantage of another corrective, I took the car to the workshop to have it installed.

Today the guy from the shop called me saying that the radio was not working.

The issue is the following, the radio turns on, but it does not load, it only shows a blue screen that turns on something. If I can I will try to upload the video showing it.

I have a feeling that this radio simply needs the firmware to be loaded, I have contacted the manufacturer, but I think it will take time.

I would appreciate if someone could help me find the firmware or check if it does indeed encuse that it carries the 8227L chip.

I am going to pick up the car this afternoon so I can test it myself.

Thank you all very much!

Forgot to say... this one is the radio https://www.amazon.es/BOOYES-Android-Estéreo-Reproductor-Mirror/dp/B08BJ69C2Q

I pretent to go whitin some time to Brasil for a long time as in the past I have had quite a few problems with the settings there I start to believe that it can be the best change to prevent this by loading a rom which is used bij people in Brasil, at least the problems which I made have there will be known.

Are there people from Brasil here which use the Diamond overthere if so which rom do you use, I don't mind if it is in Portuguese I can understand it perfectly.

Very stable, fast and in portuguese, better than Diamond Project v3.3 ROM, that is in portuguese too, but kind unstable and slow.

It cames with the essentially software needed. Use the TF3D embedded to change the Touchflo3D to Brazilian Portuguese.

The only thing missed is the network setup wizard for Brazilian operators, so you have to manually configure the network settings.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Wilsas:
This wizard for Brazilian operators is this availleble in other roms? I mean if it is then it must be possible to whitdrawl the wizard and then you can use whatever rom.

So, when I backed up my phone before unlocking bootloader I backed it up using google, xiaomi cloud and backup and restore in the about phone section, ONLY the backup and restore had the themes backed up, but when I import the themes from the backup it doesnt do anything, no themes show up in the themes app, please help

is there maybe a way to manually import the themes? I have access to the "Themes(com.android.thememanager).bak".
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Manjotbenipal:
Root your phone with magisk.

There is a module named 'GlobalMIUIthemepatch' which helps you to patch your thememanager to Chinese version which has an import option.

Flash it and You can manually install .mtz themes of your choice.

[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Manjotbenipal:
You can manually download themes from chrome which are in mtz format. They are better than those in themes app.

And you can try using VPN and setting china as your region and try to download

Did u fixed or not? And the worried thing own backup not working
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] L0ND0NB0Y:
Even if u restored efs and persist, u still have modemst1 & modemst2 to restore which have carrier data and sim unlock data and it's device-unique so u cant copy it from other devices.

It's a closed case thing so move on and buy a new one.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Mr Hassan:
I backup modem and efs by twrp

And i believe efs have modemst1 st2 already have then why not?

And ofcourse i write back own backup
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] L0ND0NB0Y:
Unfortunately there's some sort of tamper security thingy on modemst1 and modemst2, and fyi the efs partition have the data needed to RECREATE modemst1 and 2 but u have to somehow initiate the recreating mechanism or whatever it's called.

If u work harder u may come to the point where the phone identities the SIM card on the phone then displays the Tmobile SIM locked screen which u probably would wanna use an r-sim beneath the SIM to get past it.

It's really a long way and idk how u can reach the point demonstrated above cuz only one user mentioned that he encountered that Tmobile SIM locked screen and I unfortunately forgot where I did saw that user, so sorry.

Edit:

U could erase modemst1 and modemst2 with fastbootd in order to make the efs partiton recreate modemst1 and 2. It's just a thought u could try.
[Android Auto General] savaytse66:
I'm running a Pixel 3XL (128GB) in the car with Android Auto. I also have a 256GB USB key loaded with music that I keep in the car. Is there a way, with a cable or otherwise, that I can attach the USB storage to my phone so my phone sees it as internal storage, while still passing Android Auto to the car? I will be travelling soon through an area with poor cell service, so reliable streaming is out, which I usually do through Plex. And as we all know, the limitations and interface with the cars' head units are sometimes prohibitive with a USB key, not to mention constantly having to navigate screens to go back and forth between the factory interface and AA. Will something as simple as an OTG adapter work, or would I need something more specific? If I have more phone storage natively, I'd just load it up, but I only have a few GB remaining.

[XPERIA X1 General] Super169:
Anyone has try to play MP4 video (which is converted to PSP format) in X1?

I have try to play the video, it can only play the sound, no video display.

The video is "MPEG4 Video (H264) 853 x 480", and the sample video "Bond Trailer XPERIA X1.mp4" comes with my X1 is "MPEG4 Video (H264) 480 x 260 24.00fps", it need some conversion to play in full screen. So, I expected that it can re-size and display the PSP format also, but it can't.

It seems that we cannot have same format for PSP and X1, and we need to create another file with smaller size for playing in X1.

Does anyone know the maximum screen size for MPEG4 files which can be played in X1?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Johny_Wo:
Hello, I own Galaxy Tab S6 WIFI, with android 12. I had some problems with connection via usbc-hdmi cable before. I had to plug the usbc at first, and secondly had to plug the hdmi into external monitor. This was the only way, how to make my tab s6 start dex with ext. monitor. But now, I am not able to connect the monitor at all. The tablet's just keep saying "USB connected"/"USB disconnected" over and over.

This message appears only if I try to connect external monitor.

Charging and data transfering are without problems.

If I try to connect S21 (exynos) with the same cable and same external monitor, the connection is established immediately.

Any ideas how to fix it?

PS: If I selected wrong thread, I am sorry. In that case I will delete this post.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Johny_Wo:
Thanks, does DeX work with hub connected to tablet? And does the hub charging your TS6 simultaneously?

That is my second problem, I am looking for a hub, that might charge tablet via USBC and share the screen at the same time. Any suggestions?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] FloLeef:
Unfortunately, that is due to the port being USB 2.0, not 3.0. The S6 Lite's USB C port literally doesn't have enough bandwidth to transfer video over cable.

The S21 however has a much higher bandwidth USB 3.0 port that can.

All you can do is wirelessly stream Dex/Smartview over Wifi

[General Topics] Timztech:
WHAT IS REFRESH RATE?

The number of times the screen refreshes its image each second is measured as the refresh rate. It is determined in Hertz (Hz). Most entry-level smartphones have a 60Hz refresh rate, whereas mid-range smartphones have a 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate, and premium smartphones have a 120Hz, 144Hz or 165Hz refresh rate. Although most phone brands are introducing adaptive refresh rate it's a brand new feature for smartphones — a device display with an adaptive refresh rate is able to change the refresh rate to match your actions on the screen depending on the range of the Refresh rate e.g a device with 120hz will adaptively switch between 60 - 120Hz. While the frequency at which the display on your phone interprets your input is known as the touch sampling rate (also known as the response rate). In other words, it refers to the quantity of times your touch is registered by the display. The display becomes more sensitive the faster the touch sampling rate is.

By minimising gaps in its interpretation of your touch input, the screen can respond more precisely and provide a smoother experience. Since a delay of a few milliseconds might occasionally mean the difference between winning and losing, this is very helpful for mobile gaming. The Redmagic 7 Series(960Hz), IQOO Neo5 & Realme GT Neo3 150W and other smartphones have the highest touch sampling rate available at the moment, which is 1000Hz. To explain better; Refresh rate refers to how quickly the screen displays the shifting pixels, whereas touch sampling rate refers to how quickly the screen reads your input. The former deals with sensitivity, whereas the latter deals with motion simulation. The animations on the screen seem more fluidly as the refresh rate increases.

A smartphone with 90 Hz refresh rate and 240 - 300 Hz touch sampling rate, in my opinion, is ideal for an all-around experience.

WHAT IS FPS?

Most of the time, people mistake FPS for refresh rate. The quantity of frames displayed on your screen each second is measured in FPS (FRAMES PER SECOND). This always relates to everything you do while watching a movie or playing a game on your screen.

WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT?

Refresh rate and FPS must be high for a fluid performance when used for gaming. This is due to the visual experience being confined to the weakest connection in the end. The refresh rate of the display must at least match the highest FPS that the GPU is capable of producing in order to operate at peak efficiency. As a consequence, there won't be any delays, clutter, or motion blur during the performance.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] Quake94:
Hi All ✌️

I listen to music in car a lot streaming from Spotify, and have been using a standard AUX connector on a stock radio in a Corolla 2011.

Before the Realme GT2 Pro, I have been using a Lumia 650 and the sound was amazing. Balanced, loud and not lacking in any area. My volume settings were Max on the lumia, and about 40 out of 60 (max) on car radio (and this was already very loud). Before Lumia, I used Galaxy S7 and while the sound quality was slightly worse than Lumia, the loudness was still OK.

I borrowed an OEM Samsung USB C to AUX connector and found out that the sound from GT2 Pro is too quiet. With GT2 Pro volume at Max and my car volume at Max (50) it was much quieter, I could hear noticable distortion, and the sound profile seemed flat. Almost as if there was no pre-amp in the GT2 Pro.

I have a suspicion this is not an isolated issue to Realme, but to all phones that pass audio through USB-C.

My question is:

What would be the best way to get same or better quality of audio as any phone with a pre-amp/integrated audio chip out of Realme?

I am considering:

- Do I need a different USB C to AUX adapter? The adapter tested was original Samsung USB-C to 3.5mm, not a knock-off.

- An aux-to-bluetooth kit, however bluetooth streaming is generally LoFI

- A USB powered DAC? Ideally one that can take bitstreaming audio from phone via USB C and pass into AUX lineout

- Replacing stock radio. I really do not wanna go this route as I feel it is redundant, because my cheap a** Lumia sounds superb on it, and Galaxy S7 was good too.

- Some kind of jerry-rigging offline Lumia to handle audio streamed from GT2 Pro. I have no clue how this would work

Any suggestions are most welcome!
[Realme GT 2 Pro] apsol:
It's due to a recent law that limits the sound level on phones and accessories.

I bought the apple 3.5mm usb c dongle and tried it on my car and same story it's very quiet, have to crank to the max.

The European version dongle have limited voltage compared to the US version and Android also has a limit on the volume but you can change if the phone is rooted.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] Quake94:
Hmm.. I read that apple usb-c adapters don't play nice with android phones and are quiet by default.

I've tested a Samsung OEM adapter. As a band-aid solution, I am hotspoting wifi from Realme to Lumia.

EDIT: Here are the findings so far:

1. Tried installing Viper4Android with no avail. Driver not found loop. Maybe someone can figure out a method that works.

2. Confirmed the sound is much louder when Samsung adapter is used with a Galaxy S10+ as compared to Realme

3. Dolby Atmos EQ in Realme actually worsens the quality

4. The volume can be boosted with a shell command, but only with root and after the adapter is plugged, since it acts as external audio device. Tasker or other app can be set to run the command on headphone adapter plugged in

The command is:

su -c "tinymix -D 1 2 100"

Where the "100" is the gain

To display all adjustable variables:

su -c "tinymix -D 1 2 -a"

The default value for Samsung adapter is 83, where 84 is equal to 0dB gain. Maximum range setting is 108, which would be equivalent to +24dB gain.
