Yeah it's very weird, I've never faced this issue on any of my other phones in the past.... Which have mainly been Samsung's.... S2, S5 and Note 1.... All old and trusty models, had no issues with those phones over the years, they were like TANKS.... just kept on working.

However this phone, I am encountering issue, after issue.... things that worked like stock/standard under normal Android are not working on MIUI.... I can't even get Ringtones to work, just have the 3x ringtones it comes with with no option to add more....

SD Card won't allow me to write at the root of the card, it says create a folder from the root of the card and then make the folder writable. I do that, then the OS complains this isn't standard practice and that I should allow the whole card.... which was what I was trying to do, when it tells me "for my own privacy" not write at the root level... Argghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!! lol

I am trying not root the phone itself at the moment, as this is the most moddern and recent phone ever purchased and trying to run it as stock with banking apps.... But if pushed, I may try rooting and try masking root at a later date....

But for now, if there is any official non-root ways of making the SD Card work, would be grateful... :)

Cheers, Lister

Yeah the root of the sd card is not allowed a lot of phones, i have a lumia 530 (windows phone) and don't have full access, but my huawei p smart 2019 has root of the sd
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi All,

Just gets better and better..... NOT !!!

Xiaomi why the fook have you included an SD Card reader to your phones, and Google why do you allow the user to VIEW but NOT use additional storage? Might as well remove the SD Card slot and add a 3rd SIM slot.

Then rebrand Android OS to Google-iOS, and continue to lock this sh*t down !!! Utterly pointless....

Google Issue Tracker

issuetracker.google.com

So it seems this is a known issue since Android 11, getting worse in 12 and dread to think by time of 13. So many unhappy and angry users out there over Googles latest changes... :( So Google lock their DocsUI storage down to secure their devices, thus users are installing unknown apks to try and re-enable it or ROOT their phones to regain the feature back. Therefore reversing what Google are trying enforce... :P lol

Pity I purchased a 128GB SD for this phone, might as well slamed in a 2GB for all the use it'll get... :(

Hi All,

<< Credit, where credit is due... as no other solution all over the web worked... other than below >>

Thanks to @Xetc , with regards to this post... Ext SD Card write access has been resolved and can now make use of my 128gb Micro SD Card again... Yaaaaaaay.... :D

Fault: If you're running Android 11, or higher. You will now find you cannot write/make use of your External MicroSD Card as Google have now blocked this. Android 10 is not as restricted, and Android 9 or below is not affected by this issue.

Solution: Download and use FX Explorer v8.0.3.0

To re-summarize steps...

1) If you already have FX Explorer installed, remove it.

2) Then download

specifically

FX Explorer v8.0.3.0 from your usual source.

3) Then click the top right corner, and select [Enable Write Access] at the bottom of the menu and follow prompts.

4) Once completed, reboot your phone.

5) Now test, to make sure you can write between internal to external, if all good, proceed to update.

6) Now grab the latest version of FX Explorer, once updated, re-check that you still have write access.

Happy days.... :D

hmm
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Xetc:
Btw, on 4), I didn't need a reboot on A10, just enabled write access, then updated. Your mileage may vary, though, with A11+.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] ChunBun:
I changed my SD card to another version and my problems were fixed... I don't know if it will help others bud I now associate the problem with my SanDisk as it is not working in my other Redmi
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Xetc:
Be aware that when swapping cards, even if you had previously granted card write access, you'll get into the same problem again with the new card. Is it related it to FX not relying on system file transfer app to handle permission, but doing it on its own, instead?

Equally, bookmark links, which are linked to the card's individual path (/####-####/), once you swap card, won't work anymore, either.

Unfortunately, seems none of these and other reported issues seem will ever be fixed, so maybe it's time to move on...

Btw, wonder if this still works...?: NextApp SDFix
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] RootedLee:
thank you also @xetc for reporting the fix first. I was experiencing this on my secondary phone with LineageOS 17.1/ Android 10.

@tliebeck can you revisit the v. 8.0.3.0 code and re-implement the way you enabled media card write access in that version back into the current version? Obviously something got twisted (and has been ever since v. 8.0.3.0 +)

Above all, thank you for your app !!
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
Not sure why to use FX Explorer. I use Total Commander and it works to the ext SD card fine. (NOTE: Be aware that if you update to the 3.33 version or higher, you will lose the ability to install apps manually from the SD card. Blame Google! You can solve this by signing it with your favorite app (like apk-signer) so Play won't keep telling you there is an update to the program.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
The old 8.0.3.0 from December 2020 is now a 7-day trial app, and step #3 does not produce any "enable write access" from the top right hamburger menu. I enabled root/developer access in its settings but no difference.

EDIT: though I see no "enable write access" anywhere the app, I can read and write to it, and send files from it to Drive, the last 2 things fail on my RN11. Both are on custom ROMs on A13. So, this has to be a developer's issue in the ROM, OR something with the card itself. I will keep testing to see what I can find.

i.e. this no longer works (NOTE: this might just be an SD card issue. I am able to write to and send files from an external SD on a different ROM on a different A13 phone - Redmi Note 10 Pro - without any permissions stalls at all using Total Commander 3.31, for example.)
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
Nope. It produces an error. "Platform permission file is invalid. no groups specified in WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi @Sheist! ,

All versions/editions of FX Explorer are considered a Trial edition when first installed... You can enable full features for a 7 - 14x day trial to which it reverts back to limited features. You only miss out on the bonus, networking/app management and few extra controls/filesystem features.... All the core Explorer features are still there...

This method was correct and accurate at the time of testing, which I believe I was on Android 11, as I don't think A12 was around at the time. Since upgraded to A12 afterwards it has still kept write access to the SD Card enabled after the hack.

I've not tried this method on A13 yet, as I am still on stock rom. However, each release of Android, from version 10 upwards keep tweaking SD Card usage, and restricts access to it more and more... So A13 could well have issues, don't know.

Personally, when I tried Total Commander back on A11, I couldn't get it to work at all (despite reading a guide somewhere) saying to use this. I tried all the various apps out there, one even suggested using the MiExplorer. No method worked at all, apart from that very specific release of FX Explorer, and when tried worked like a charm. As it always has done since Android 4.4x when Google first started messing around with SD Cards. I believe Android developers were asked to remove such features from their File Manager apps, hence why after 8.0.3.0 this feature disappeared.

There was a method briefly, using Googles own "Files" app, known as packagename "My Documents" or something like that... This feature only worked on Android 11, and had limited access when enabled. However as this is often a system app, and without root... Trying to disable, debloat, replace this app... this method also was fiddly and didn't work.... the only sucess that worked for me was what was mentioned above.

I tried practically everything, and was at the point of giving up and annoyed I wasted money on a 128GB SD card not to be used... until I stumbled on the above. Relieved it worked, and thought if it helps others in similar position, share the info... as I read pages and pages (forums/Googles own documentation) on how its disabled, how it no longer works, workarounds that didnt work... I believe it should still work for A11, and poss A12 roms (does via upgrade), however not personally tested on A13.

Cheers, Lister
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
The problem is I have other apps that need to write to the SD and at this point they started failing. I don't suspect A13, as CherishOS does not have this issue on RN10P, OR the SD card I am using on that RN10P phone is error-free. My card would not read in the crDroid recovery in my RN11 UNTIL I formatted it in Windows with NTFS. Even formatting in the phone in exFat gives an exFat error in the incorporated crDroid recovery! This is probably still some issue with my card or its formatting, as I don't see noise on this issue from other users. My external SD was working fine for my write/copy-to apps on A13 until I fixed the issue getting it to read in crDroid recovery, which oddly I don't even need anymore! (successfully installed TWRP to ramdisk now). I need to reformat back to exFat and see where I am. If good, then I will reply again.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
I reformatted in the phone again (exFat) and all apps work fine again to/from the external SD card. I am on TWRP so I don't care about the installed crDroid recovery issue anymore. (y) (A13, crDroid 9.3, TWRP 3.7.0_12-0)

All your questions have been answered before, search forums. And take a look at XDA-Wiki and Elf Upgrading forum.
[Vivo X Fold] RR-99:
Just got my new Galaxy Watch 5. It looks great, very smooth appearance

Installed it in the usual way after removing all the old apps and starting from scratch including Watch 5 patch.

Good news - Galaxy Wear found the watch straight away and did the bluetooth pairing.

Bad news - Galaxy Wear immediately said "This watch is not supported on this phone."

I'll be having an other go later on, but it's looking like the watch will be going back.
[Vivo X Fold] blackhawk:
If you have an older copy of Wearables try that after uninstalling the new version. Make sure you get all the apps for the watch.

Firewall block the old version's updates though before opening it... or it will update.

Conversely try updating everything including the watch firmware. Sequence* of your actions here can effect the outcome. Wearables can be quit the terror but I've always gotten my Buds+ to work right, one way or another🤣

Samsung tech may be useful as may Samsung forums. It sucks but so does a lot of things; bennies for success, nothing for failure.

*trial and error, and yes it can take multiple attempts. DO NOT factory reset!

Clearing the system cache and especially a network reset may help. Make sure Wearables has all its permissions, CHECK!!! It will puke on you if it doesn't! No warnings why either🤣
[Vivo X Fold] RR-99:
I've been back again, tried everything I learned in getting the Watch 3 to work. But this one is different, it's not like the failures before when something just doesn't work or goes into a loop. This is the first time Galaxy Wear has connected to the Watch and then said definitely that it is not comparible with the phone. I'm having bad feelings about it.

The other thing I would say though is, are Samsung going to sell the Watch 5 into China? If so it should work with Chinese phones - unless it has different firmware.

[Vivo X Fold] darzy88:
yes i have the watch 5 pro working i have had vio x fold,vivo x fold plus and now vivo x fold 2 and it worked on all

what you have to do is uninstall all the versions you have of samsung wearables and plugins then go to this link and install this version of wearables http://samsung-gear.apk.watch/2.2.41.21071361/for/huawei-honor-8

once that is installed open up the settings of ur phone go to bluetooth and connect to your watch then open up the wearables app and it will download an update follow it through and it will work perfect for you

just remember to set the wearable and watch os apps to be locked in the task killer screen and set the battery management to high power for the wearable and watch os apps to make sure you get all your notifications and for it to stay connected
[Vivo X Fold] gkarkala:
I have both watch 4 and watch 5 connecting to vivo without any issues. Do not use the Samsung wearable app from the play store but use the above apk. Once the phone is synced, all the Samsung plugins gets updated to the latest version.
[Vivo X Fold] Lord Broker:
You're a God, thank you so much! If anyone else has this issue, just follow this to a dot and you should be fine. For me it was Vivo x80 Pro and Galaxy Watch 5. Word of advice from me - all the apps that are being installed - you don't open them, just press done, I made a mistake of turning on Wear OS app. The entire process is inside Galaxy Wearable. Once again, huge thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] Jaanieh:
Just got my Motorola moto G71 and I noticed I can't use FB messenger chat heads, because android has it's own "bubble function" that needs to be activated to get any bubbles at all. These are incredibly annoying, looks weird with a lil "messenger symbol" and it works super weird, it doesnt pop up when you get a new message, and you also have to inactivate it for every app except messenger.

Is there ANY way to use the normal messenger chat heads instead of the android bubbles? I'll do anything for a solution.

Hi all,

I followed tutorials to install LineageOS on my Honor 5X (KIW-L21).

I unlocked bootloader, I installed twrp (twrp-3.4.0-0-kiwi), I wipe & format data.

I installed LineageOS 17.1 with ADB Sideload (note : progress bar on computer ends at 47% - but message on the phone : success).

Rebooting the device with adb reboot doesn't work : it reboot on twrp. But if I reboot with twrp directly on the device, it launched LineageOS.

I access the configuration menu and able to define timezone, etc. And suddenly the device boot on twrp.... again and again.

I repeat the procedure several times. Each time, the device stop lineageOS launching to boot suddenly on twrp.

Do you have some idea to solve my problem ?

When I go to File Manager - System info, I see the following information:

Storage memory: 17.95MB

Used: 14.83MB

Free: 3.12MB

Program memory: 44.70MB

Used: 27.78MB

Free: 16.92MB

Does this mean that when I install programs, I can only use 16.92MB? And that above 3.12MB is used only for storing documents,music, etc?

Also, if I install program on a storage card, will any of the phone memory be used for saving some application specific data for this application?

How much memory does phone need to operate properly? And can it use Storage memory for its operations, or only program memory?

thanks,

Goran
[HTC Tornado] george_sh:
Memory

Goran,

Storage memory is the built-in memory, it's used for storing anything at all. If you have only 3Mb left that's too little. If you use Internet Explorer often, you'll soon be getting messages like 'Your free space is running low'. Try installing to the SD card as many programs as you can except those that need to be installed in the main memory (e.g. WM5torage).

And 'Program memory' is the same as RAM on a desktop PC. It's used for running programs. 17Mb free says that some programs are running in the background. Immediately after reboot you should have around 27-30Mb free.
[HTC Tornado] Goran_:
Thanks, George, I got it now. After installing WM6 tings now look better.

and https://xdaforums.com/t/mod-magisk-root-set-charging-limit-to-90.4363477/

( Credits to @rickysidhu_ and @foobar66 )

There is a thing I found and tested:

"charge_stop_level" must be used together with "charge_start_level"

Spoiler content hidden.

I like @foobar66's magisk mod solution. It is simple and safe.

It has only 1 line of working script in the zip.

So I "clone" it with some different values (added the fix, so 2 lines of script code in each zip now, that's all it does)

These are for the lazy people who don't want to deal with advanced settings, and who want a 10-second trouble-free simple solution for battery health.

The 4 clones:

P6n_charginglimit_95.zip (charging limit to 95%, it should give you an extra ~30% battery life span in lab-tested theory)

P6n_charginglimit_90.zip (charging to 90%, an extra ~60% battery life span)

P6n_charginglimit_85.zip (charging to 85%, double the battery life span, recommended for joe and johns)

P6n_charginglimit_80.zip (charging to 80%, should give more than double the battery life span)

Those numbers are the best estimates from other battery research papers, no guarantee.

To install, pick the one you want and flash it in Magisk.

To uninstall, simply disable or remove it in Magisk.

A12.1 tested. It should work on A13.

Edit: A13 is also confirmed working.
