Questions

Q: What is the "AddonRescue" thing?

A: It's for re-flashing addons to internal storage if you factory reset.

Q: It looks different than what I'm used to...

A: I've integrated my own custom mk2000 theme :giggle:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] giddy:
hi,

So I see there are tutorials and books out there about drawing a 3d object,

but what I want to do is, after I draw the object, how do I have it respond to the mouse/stylus (touchscreen!). Like have a cube on the screen and allow the user to rotate it around its vertical axis?

In Winforms, I would do something like Inherit from Control then override paint and paint a circle/square, after that I would track mouse movement by checking the X,Y cords of the mouse and whether it lies in my area.

But, now in 3d how do I check if the X,Y mouse coordinates is *ON* the object. Also, if its not too difficult, how do I put a picture on each side of the cube.

I'm sorry if the questions are a little silly, I'm a noob at WinMobo and DirectX, but very good at Winforms

Thanks so much.
[Redmi Note 10] 3dmm_58:
Hi, I hope you can help me. I have a problem with my "Mojito" after installing miu version 13.09 there was an error that caused my laptop to turn off.

Since then my phone only starts in fastboot, I have tried to install different roms from different places on several occasions but the same error remains (Flashing Is not allowed in Lock State).
[Redmi Note 10] alonsoj636MW:
if your phone can boot to fastboot... you have a chance...

If you have internet , download Mi Unlock Tool and sign-in to your Mi Account then Unlock Bootloader again (don't worry about wait time you can unlock it inmediately if you already unlocked it before)

Phone will reboot and you can flash MIUI or a Custom Recovery/ROM again...

hope this can help
[General Questions and Answers] remembrance:
I have a generic Chinese tablet with Intel Atom Z3735F CPU. It came with Android 4.4 but since that's useless to me and since this CPU and chipset supports it, I wanted to try and install Windows 10 on it. I booted from a usb stick and Windows 10 setup started loading, but soon after that, screen turned black. I didn't even make it to setup language selection screen, meaning I didn't actually get to delete or install anything. (I doubt trying to install Windows had to do with anything since it didn't get far at all but I thought it is worth mentioning.) Now it won't turn on or charge. When I plug in the charger, screen flashes white for a split second every 20 seconds. There is no boot logo or anything.

I tried everything I can to fix it. So far I tried:

* Resetting by pressing power and volute down buttons at the same time (I tried power + volume up as well)

* Disconnecting the battery and waiting 24 hours.

* Charging for about 12 hours (It doesn't seem to charge and before the screen went black it had almost 70% charge)

But no matter what I did, it won't boot. When I plug in the charger or press the power button, screen just blinks white for a second and repeats blinking every 20 second. I can't even turn it off unless I remove the battery or press the power and volume down buttons. I am at a loss as to what to do. I don't see a reset button anywhere on the tablet and I don't have a usb jig. (Even if I could get a jig, I doubt it would work with this tablet)

Please give me advice as to how to fix this.

[Xiaomi Mi 11] Serty19:
Hi all. I bought a Mi 11 Pro with EU MIUI rom a while back. I wanted to try pixel experience since i dont like MIUI. I flashed the current TWRP but i cant transfer any files from my computer so i used thge ADB push command. When i try to wipe or flash or do anything in TWRP i get "failed to mount ..... (block device required)" for /odm, /vendor, /product, /system_ext and /system,root. I tried using the pixel experience recovery but nothing happened when i tried to update using that. Any ideas of what might be the problem? I've folloed every guide i can find.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] jejemc:
.Hi here is the mi 11 forum not the mi 11 pro, you should look at the mi11 pro section where the other ones are the same rom.
[Nothing Phone 1] ZerkerEOD:
As the title says, I just picked up the phone and received the EEA version. Wondering if anyone knows the difference between global and EEA. I normally only buy global but had no option since I travel a lot. So, does anyone know the differences, is it worth cross flashing and if so anyone know how?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] alwaysontheline:
Hey all,

I was looking at my phone, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, and I noticed some kind of ghosting or burn in or something. It looks like the image of icons that were on the screen, and are burned in. Any ideas? I included a pic I hope will explain better.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] blackhawk:
Running it in sunlight and/or brightness over 50%?

The pixels are wearing out from use. Blues go first, reds last generally from wear.

Use manual brightness control. Avoid use in direct sunlight. Keep brightness no higher than needs. Use dark mode and dark wallpapers.

Rotate widgets and icons.

My homepage and settings tweaked to minimize premature display wear.

Test it and see what you got:
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] alwaysontheline:
Thanks for the insight. Is there any way to fix what has already happened?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] blackhawk:
Negative. It's a normal wear thing.

It's possible the manufacturing quality of that display wasn't good. See if you can badger Samsung into a warranty repair or reduced repair price. There have been a lot of issues across the board with variable refresh rate displays. One reason I stayed with the N10+.

Using dark mode and dark wallpapers will make less noticeable.

In the future take steps to prevent this with a new display. Yeah they get very bright but organic LEDs aren't as robust as their thicker non organic counterparts. Limit max or near max brightness to seconds not minutes. Avoid using in sunlight whenever possible. A 50% max limit except for some vids is sensible and helps a lot. Use lower levels in dimmer light, don't burn your retinas or display out.
[Google Pixel 6a] adrman:
Exactly what the title says. I've got two orders, one from 7/22 and one from 7/26. Both show the trade-in kit as "not shipped", "pending". Yesterday I contacted Google support and supposedly they shipped two new kits because I should have had the original ones by now, but I haven't received any shipment emails on those either. Just curious if others were experiencing the same.
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
Not yet, though they said mine shipped and said 7 business days after receiving the device. I would expect them soon.
[Google Pixel 6a] JRJ442:
I got my trade in kit a couple days ago. I just sent my 3axl back today.
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
And as soon as I posted this my kits both arrived
[Google Pixel 6a] bobby janow:
Make sure you send the right kit back or they won't find it. Call before.
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
Call who before what?
[Google Pixel 6a] bobby janow:
Call Google make sure they have the right tracking number since you now have 2.
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
Ahh, sorry....I have 2 as both my wife and I are trading our phones in.
[Google Pixel 6a] bobby janow:
Ahh sorry back. It was @adrman I meant to quote. He reordered the kits and will have 2 coming for one device. I had that problem before and It took many calls for them to find the return.
[Google Pixel 6a] Zaxx32:
Mine came yesterday. Sending my 4a back tomorrow.

fwiw, I gotta say, that's one hell of a deal! If I count the Pixel Buds A at their retail price of $100 then I'm out only $50 for a BIG step up vs. the 735G chipset plus it fixes my main grump about the 4a being just a lil' too small. I was lookin' at used (open box) Pixel 5s mostly for the 6" 'perfect' screen size, imo, right before this deal popped. Hell...6.1", close enuff!
[Google Pixel 6a] tcat007:
Mine said delivered 2 days ago and wasn't there. Hate USPS! What's in the kit, a box and an airbill?
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
Yep, packaging to send it back in and a prepaid return sticker.
[Google Pixel 6a] piperx:
I already sent mine out on Monday 😃

It was my Pixel 3A.

I made a video of it working then rebooted it, then clean flashed it and then packaged it up and sent it out

I made the video just in case Google says anything wrong about it or anything. It's a pristine condition and I should get my $300.

There's not one scratch on it barely used as I am disabled, don't use a phone much. Always make a video of whatever you're doing with any phone
[Google Pixel 6a] nxt:
Mine was delivered to them yesterday but Google store still saying has not arrived. USPSaroed it Delivered to Individual. We'll see next week once they start processing them.
[Google Pixel 6a] jawiler:
Kit came on Thursday and I shipped it back, it's supposed to arrive there on Monday
[Google Pixel 6a] nextohel:
Received my kit last Monday and mailed it back the same day. Google still hasn't received it. It is now two days late.
[Google Pixel 6a] tcat007:
Can someone post a picture or two what the kit and return form looks like? Since mine says delivered and I never got it, I'm about ready to just pay to mail it back myself. Just want to be sure I get the paperwork/return address right.
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
Its a small box, just slightly bigger than the one the phone comes in. Maybe 10x5x1" or so. All white with a address label with a barcode on it, and feels empty as there is only paper in it.
[Google Pixel 6a] JSZ77:
Got mine Tuesday (8/2). Sent it in the following Friday

[Google Pixel 6a] nextohel:
Yeah, I've seen it. I packaged up my old 4a and brought it to the post office. No one has seen it since...

Thanks USPS...
[Google Pixel 6a] tcat007:
USPS keeps getting worse! Why on earth would Google use them? Maybe to make them disappear so they don't pay?
[Google Pixel 6a] adrman:
I'm still waiting on mine. Still showing "pending, not shipped".
[Google Pixel 6a] nextohel:
Exactly my thoughts.
[Google Pixel 6a] tcat007:
Finally got my return kit! Post lady put it in the wrong box (that wasn't used by any neighbor). Packed ready to go. Does the post office give you a drop off receipt like UPS does? Be nice to have proof of drop off.
[Google Pixel 6a] greeneyez15o:
Anyone else getting access denied message from USPS ? Says they've tried delivering but can't.... Ughhh
[Google Pixel 6a] bobby janow:
I get access denied when on a VPN. Turn it off for a minute if you have one.
[Google Pixel 6a] jawiler:
Yes, just ask for the receipt when you drop it off, you can then track it. Mine was supposed to be delivered back to them yesterday, but it's been delayed for some reason.
[Google Pixel 6a] greatgoogly:
Received my return kit beginning of last week. Sent the phone out last Weds. Once it was in the USPS system it had an estimated date of delivery of Saturday 8/6. What I have showing currently is "

August 8, 2022, 5:53 am

Departed USPS Regional Facility

NASHVILLE TN DISTRIBUTION CENTER ANNEX

Your item departed our USPS facility in NASHVILLE TN DISTRIBUTION CENTER ANNEX on August 8, 2022 at 5:53 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination."

From reading the other posts I'm getting concerned that this is not going to end well. Looks like Google's subcontractor is not prepared to receive and process the number of tradeins they are receiving and that many will just disappear into the system or be mis-handled.

What recourse does one have if either the USPS loses the return or Google claims they never received it?
[Google Pixel 6a] greatgoogly:
...and now my trade in phone is showing as "arriving late" to Google's trade in vendor. "

August 9, 2022

In Transit, Arriving Late

Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility." Again I wonder what the resolution is if the USPS never delivers the trade in. I suspect Google gives a hearty "tough s***".
[Google Pixel 6a] bobby janow:
I really hope you all get your money back in an appropriate amount of time and I believe you will. Thing is I had a P6 and Google didn't offer trade-in for that device. Plus the fact I had a slight crack in the bottom of the back glass. So I went to BB and they gave me $250 for the P6 instead of the 300 Google was offering for P5 and below. Looks like a deal now considering the amount of time some have spent tracking the return. But I would have done the same for the 50 savings. Just an FYI for the future if things don't turn out well. ( besides this fact: When I went to BB on release Thursday they had it mis-marked at $399 not 449 for about 5 minutes. I called the offices and they gave me a credit on my CC for the $50)
[Google Pixel 6a] jawiler:
Just got an email, they've received my old 3a trade-in
[Google Pixel 6a] Geo411m:
Got my box Friday 7/29. Sent my phone out Monday 8/1. USPS apparently lost it 8/4 at the NASHVILLE TN DISTRIBUTION CENTER ANNEX. Called google yesterday and today they gave me the full $300 refund even though the phone still appears to be in transit at the NASHVILLE TN DISTRIBUTION CENTER ANNEX. I would call Google and see what they can do.
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
"lost it".....right....lol

Someone has as new device
[Google Pixel 6a] Geo411m:
Seeing someone else's comment above looks like I'm not the only person that had their device stolen in the Nashville TN Distribution center.
[Google Pixel 6a] 2015Ducatimulti:
Yeah I had sent my trade-in on the 28th of July and received email from google that my trade in was received on the Aug 3rd and the next day I received email stating my trade-in was successful for full $100.00, since I traded-in my pixel 3XL, I had no issues with trade in.
[Google Pixel 6a] adrman:
So, I finally received an email response from Google Supoort regarding my initial inquiry as to why I hadn't received my trade in kits yet and was told they couldn't verify my shipping address. I guess the phone that was on the same order (and the last 4 phones I've ordered from the Store) arrived by sheer luck. I've got one more day on my return window and I'm just about ready to pull the plug.
[Google Pixel 6a] nextohel:
Mine said the same. The USPS said to file a missing mail claim, which I did. No one cares, not Google or the USPS.
[Google Pixel 6a] JSZ77:
My trade-in eta was Monday. It was delayed at USPS Nashville until today (Thursday) just got my refund, got the full $300.
[Google Pixel 6a] eevanskiteboards:
Trade in credit was issued to me for $300 thankfully. I was skeptical but they paid. Awesome.

Took around 10 days from mailing in the 3a until refund
[Google Pixel 6a] raindognyc:
So I bought two 6As and sent in two pixel 3As in working order.

One is still being assessed, but they told me I send in the wrong device on one of them,

This is most certainly wrong.

Got through on a chat and they claim they will investigate, but who knows when this will get straightened out.

But they asked me for my IMEI number of the phone in dispute and I didn't keep a record of it .

So I would advise anybody who has not yet done sent it in to make a record of it and take a photo of the phone you are returning.

Google, I expected better of you!
[Google Pixel 6a] bobby janow:
On the return label they sent you there should be the IMEI if they are still sending it via email. If not then you might want to check with your provider which should have a record of it.
[Google Pixel 6a] tcat007:
Finally! A bargain it was!
[Google Pixel 6a] DB126:
Full $300 credit on Pixel 4a. Took about 10 days after mailing from Northeast US, most of that in transit. Initial credit was for device less full price of free earbuds but that was corrected within 12 hours. Painless process and 100% credit on a 2-year old device. No complaints here!
[Google Pixel 6a] raindognyc:
Thanks, Tmobile got it for me right away. I got credit for one of the phones, hopefully not long before they get it right for the other.

(I think i screwed up and switched the two phones in the return boxes.)
[Google Pixel 6a] nextohel:
After 17 days, my trade in finally made it to La Vergne. I think the USPS sent it the long way.
[Google Pixel 6a] Zaxx32:
Sent in my pristine 4a on 8/11 finally arrived today...smh

Paid $350 two years ago, so yeah...helluva deal. I look forward to doing this EVERY 2-3 years...fingers crossed. Almost like folks that lease a new car and trade-in every 2 years for another new car. I hope the P8s is a solid offering and packing a Tensor 3 under the hood...one could hope. 😁

Edit: It's the next day and I got an email saying $300 is on its way thru my bank card! Awesome sauce! I soo hope they repeat this at least every year or two.
[Google Pixel 6a] wpscully:
I mailed mine Pixel 3a back and the USPS says it was delivered to Google's vendor:

Delivered, Left with Individual​

August 4, 2022 at 1:11 pm

LA VERGNE, TN 37086​

But on Google's order history page:

​

Trade In initiated​

​

Trade In kit shipped​

​

Waiting to receive old phone​

So they're certainly taking their time on this... .

[Update] I did use the "Contact Us" link on the Google site to ask for a call-back. The woman was very professional and promised to escalate the issue, keep in contact with me via email, and not close the issue until I got my refund. So all that sounds positive!

[Update] I got notified that they found my trade in. They're still "inspecting" the phone... . The case remains open, which is as it should be.
[Google Pixel 6a] tcat007:
Took a couple days after "delivered" to get confirmation from Google, then another day or two to get notification of payment.
[Google Pixel 6a] raindognyc:
So i finally got my issue resolved. I bought two 6As but google claimed one of the trade ins was bad. But they never told me why. Finally after a bit of belly aching, and filing a dispute with paypal, i got the full credit.
[Google Pixel 6a] mmead1143:
Got my $300 refund in 4 business days from shipping - no issues. lol I bought the 3a used for $60 on ebay last december - WIN!
[Google Pixel 6a] :
I just ordered my 6a via trade in for an extra 4a5g I now have. It bootloops (the 4a5g) and doesnt boot into the OS, but the screen turns on, there are no scratches, just the back housing is peeling. And I factory reset it. Hopefully I'll get the full or close to $300 value. I'll get their trade in mailer in a few days. I'll probally get the new phone sooner. I'll prob keep the 6a unopened BNIB and continue to use my main 4a5g. We'll see.
[Google Pixel 6a] adrman:
I finally was credited my refunds today, exactly 4 weeks after receiving my new pixels. Google has had them in their possession since last Friday.
[Google Pixel 6a] jmkarnai01:
Did any of you see this so called security sticker on some 3x5 card in the return box?
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
We just got both of our trade ins at full value. Took a long time but well worth it.
[Google Pixel 6a] ausganger:
I've had a similar experience, except I shipped my trade-in on August 1st. It's still marked as "in transit" (on the USPS site), an implicit suggestion that the item may have been lost, stolen, or damaged. I chatted with Google personnel several times in the interim. They were polite, but I was told to wait 14 days from shipping date. I waited, and there was NO update on the USPS page.

While the USPS tracking update has NOT updated, I did receive a notice, on the 23rd of August (nearly three weeks after shipment) that my device had been inspected and approved for the full trade-in amount. (In the meantime, I had sent Google representatives the IMEI1 and IMEI2 numerical IDs for the 3a).

The promised amount was posted as a pending credit to my card, and then disappeared from pending. But it reappeared as posted, a couple of days, later.

Through all of it, the Google personnel were thorough and polite. But the system seems excessively layered and bureaucratic, and certainly, in the last analysis, the failure of USPS tracking system is on Google. To the extent that any initial cost savings were achieved, by using USPS, it's also clear to me that all the extra inquiries and employee time ate up any initial operational savings. To my mind, whatever subcontractor is responsible for tracking these items (17 miles, from Nashville to destination) isn't up to the task. I believe that the customer service folks knew that to be true, as well.
[Google Pixel 6a] :
Just got my trade in quote. Has been almost a month since sending it in. USPS still shows not delivered, lol. I got a quote for $260 instead of $300 due to "Major LCD Damage". I took a video of the phone powering on and sent google a screenshot of the white google screen. LCD is fine. Yea when mailing in your phones MAKE SURE to take pics/video of the phone because it seems there is an endemic of value scamming it seems.Hopfully I'll get my extra $40. Heres a pic of my phone with "Major LCD Damage".

Edit: total scam. They still upheld $260. I complained. Showed video that pic was based And they offered $40 appeasment store credit. WTF. No..put it on my CARD. 260+40. Requested supervisor. I mean come on, really? What a scam.
[Google Pixel 6a] ryan92084:
Well, my package hasn't moved from nashville since august 30th and my picture of the imei seems to have vanished. Looks like I'm completely boned unless i can dig up a record of the imei. The phone was never tied to my google account so no dice that way either. Chat support basically said find your imei and come back then closed my chat, very helpful.
[Google Pixel 6a] nate1975:
I sent mine back on the 12th, and the last update was from the 16th that it is "Moving Through Network, In Transit, Arriving Late".

It's amazing that a small box can take 10+ days to get to Tennessee from Michigan.

Actually from the USPS info, it's impossible to know if it even left my post office.
[Google Pixel 6a] rochrunner:
At least I'm not alone. I also mailed mine on the 12th from Rochester, MI (Detroit area) and the USPS tracking shows that it went from here to Pittsburgh, then Memphis, then Nashville, and now shows as "In Transit, Arriving Late". At least they're right about the "late" part. I could have driven it down myself and got it there on the 14th! I wonder if it has anything to do with that warning on the label about "Ground transit only", presumably because of the battery. Maybe it's in a special container or something; otherwise why the out-of-the-way routing?
[Google Pixel 6a] Zaxx32:
If I'd have known it'd take an extra week, I'd have used their labels over the old ones of the box it came in...ofc not everyone's budget gets stretched too far cuz of a $450+ hold tying up their cash flow or 'cash dribble' at times... :rolleyes:
[Google Pixel 6a] :
I know what you mean. I had to delay payments on my 2nd Tesla because of this...
[Google Pixel 6a] nate1975:
Well, mine finally made it with zero updates between my post office in Michigan and the destination.

So it took eleven days to go three states away, apparently without stopping once.
