[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] luislara22:
Did anyone find a solution?

I bought mine on aliexpress and I have the same problem. It crashes and restarts numerous times a day.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Bobfish:
Unlock bootloader and install global MIUI 13.0.4.

Very stable , no crashes/restarts.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] luislara22:
the bootloader is unlocked. do i install the rom via fastboot or TWRP?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Bobfish:
Both method should be fine .

If using TWRP , use format data option first, else system won't boot up.

If using Miflash use clean all but make sure don't use the lock option.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] ricardotrut:
No, maybe is a motherboard issue. I bought this phone from giztop. I think I will return it and get my money back. I will never buy Xiaomi sh**** again.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] luislara22:
I have already opened a call on aliexpress to get my money back.

I just installed the global rom and rooted. wait and see.

but i will fight to get my money back from aliexpress.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] ricardotrut:
Did global solved the issue for u?? Mine still restarting
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] luislara22:
in the first 24 hours yes. it was working perfect.

Then it started to restart and crash.

without solution.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] *justintime*:
I am having the same issue....

Please look in the /root/data/vendor/ramdump folder.

I am having lots of ramdumps eating space.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] ricardotrut:
So just received the phone yesterday after sending it for repair to Xiaomi All the way back to China... And this piece of trash phone still rebooting.... Never buying again a phone from this trash company... Also Giztop is so unprofessional because they didn't solved the issue ... They told me that the phone was on perfect condition and they weren't able to solve it. Thanks to them I also had to pay 250usd of taxes because they send it like if it was a new unit... Give yourself a favor and don't buy from Giztopz, they send defective phones.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Bobfish:
Try disabling the RAM extension feature.

Or try a custom rom like EvolutionX or CrDroid.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] ricardotrut:
Tried EvolutionX today and after some hours the phone restarted ;(
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] apokit:
I have the same problem 1 or 2 freezes and after that reboots per day.....i am on PE rom......i set lower gpu frequency with an app(ex kernel) to 379 from 319 and for two days no reboot.I have to see if this helped .....i am not sure for now.Maybe its hardware issue
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] apokit:
I have 3 days without a reboot only by setting lower GPU freq to 379......I am not sure but it seems to solve my problem
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] ricardotrut:
Can you please share what steps should I follow to achieve this? I´m not familiar with custom ROMs or lowering GPUs frequencies.

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] apokit:
You have to download an app that can manage kernel like ex kernel(this is what i use)

Then you go in gpu settings and set gpu settings lower frequency to 379 .For me no more reboots
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] ricardotrut:
No luck, But I noticed that the CPU reached 89 C or 192F and then restart.... do you think it can be a bad CPU?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] apokit:
Yes you must have hardware problem.....i didnt saw so high temperatures
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kevin_23:
Hi, any news?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] ricardotrut:
Motherboard was bad. so I decided to throw it away.... I´ll never buy a Xiaomi again.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kevin_23:
I have the same problem, Green screen when the phone starts to get hot and restart, i want to root it to put slow cpu and gpu frequency
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] infamas:
Unfortunately you had a bad luck with a defective unit. It can happen with every brand.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kevin_23:
It is a quite frequent unit and model failure in the xiaomi mi11 and mi11 ultra, it is the motherboard of these xiaomi that mount the snapdragon 888, we are not talking about a few defective units, the xiaomi mi11 (venus) there are also quite a few cases
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] infamas:
Didn't know that, sorry. I had 11T Pro and now I'm using 11 ultra thankfully without a problem.

BTW the 1st time during the flashing Elite ROM on 11 ultra I was getting weird purple screen and I almost **** my pants 😃 but after the flash it was all good.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kevin_23:
Good mate, I have the same problem as you, I just rooted it and lowered the cpu and gpu frequency and it seems to be going well, are you still with the mi11 ultra? or did you change?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] infamas:
How did you lower cpu an gpu frequency? Did you use one of the modules shared here or manually via app?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] apokit:
For me reboots begun again....but it was STH in software.....I am on PE+ rom latest and don't have reboots anymore
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kevin_23:
Thanks for answering friend, a question, can you indicate or give me a link of what firmware you are currently using with which there are no restarts? I didn't understand the abbreviations very well
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Bobfish:
That's a custom AOSP rom , Pixel Experience + . There's a few other custom roms for the Mars/Star device.

I'm on Evolution X rom for the past 5 months , fast smooth no lags . Better temp and battery .
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kevin_23:
Thanks friend
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] PanNet7:
I have Russian version of 13U (frankly it is global version with couple Russian apps, witch you can get rid of straight away) and it works for me excellent. I do not need temper with ROM as well. So far perfect mobile and very reliable.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] mik0870:
Sorry guys, but if the lowering of CPU/ GPU means there is a problem on the cooling system, maybe the phone had a lack of heating paste (hope u understand) so maybe just try to open it and reapply the heating paste. It is normal to reboot or turn off of it goes overheating, it is a safe procedure. Don't throw your device.

Hope this helps, best.

[The Best Apps You've Never Heard of] GalaxyA325G:
I haven't found the "one" best mock location fake gps app - but I found a few good ones that have ads.

But if I had to pick just one as the "best", I'd pick Lexa simply because it works without ads.

*Fake GPS Location* by Lexa​

Free, no ads, requires gsf, rated 4.6, 456K reviews, 10M+ Downloads​

<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lexa.fakegps>​

​

But others (with ads) do a better job of random location following roadways with random movement time periods.

Others (with ads) can also shift the GPS location from one phone to another (either way) - but what use is that for you?

Also others (with ads) can spoof both the wi-fi provider & the GPS provider - but what use is that for you?

Which fake GPS mock location app do you feel is best and why?
[The Best Apps You've Never Heard of] ze7zez:
GPS position falsification is currently not very effective when RIL is enabled on the phone. Apps can easily orient the phone in space based on the signal strength to the network operator's mast.
[The Best Apps You've Never Heard of] GalaxyA325G:
For privacy reasons... I have every setting for location accuracy turned off, and I also have every unused radio on the phone turned off (e.g., NFC, bluetooth, gps, wi-fi, etc.) and my phone's wi-fi does NOT reconnect (auto-connect is turned off) as my home AP SSID is hidden (for privacy, not for security!) and it has a "_nomap" appended to keep out of the well-behaved databases such as Google/Mozilla, but not Wigle/Netstumbler/Kismet,etc, which aren't well behaved, and I randomize the phone's Wi-Fi MAC upon every connection - which is a new feature of Android 12 in Developer options, etc., ....

... But I had to look up what RIL stands for, so I thank you for bringing up that unknown-to-me Radio Interface Layer detail...

View attachment 5675931

RIL references:

https://wladimir-tm4pda.github.io/porting/telephony.html

https://source.android.com/devices/tech/connect/ril

Specifically

Radio Interface Layer: It is the bridge between Android phone framework services and the hardware. In other words, it is the protocol stack for Telephone. The RIL consist of two primary components.​

RIL Daemon

Vendor RIL

RIL Daemon​

​

RILD will be initialized during the Android system start up. It will read the system property to find which library has to be used for Vendor RIL, provide the appropriate input for vendor RIL and finally calls RIL_Init function of Vendor RIL to map all the Vendor RIL functions to the upper layer. Each vendor RIL has RIL_Init function.​

Vendor RIL​

​

It is a library specific to each modem. In other words, we can call it as a driver to function the modem. The RIL daemon will call the RIL_Init function with the device location (eg: /dev/ttyS0). It will initiate the modem and returns theRIL_RadioFunctions structure contains the handles of radio functions​

View attachment 5675933

After skimming that RIL information, I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to tell me, but I guess you're saying that we can be geolocated when we make phone calls and even when we don't, in that the cell towers can be triangulated if the phone is in calling mode... which I understand full well.

But, in terms of privacy, how many apps that need to be fooled by their GPS location have access to that cell tower radio location information?
[The Best Apps You've Never Heard of] ze7zez:
You understood correctly. A phone in call mode, as you wrote, can be easily located while moving.

The google map tricked out by "Fake GPS Location", does quite well while driving a car, as I recently verified in the field.

I don't analyze the app for route tracking.
[The Best Apps You've Never Heard of] GalaxyA325G:
I agree with you that any phone, if it's going to be used for two (or three) things, will be easily tracked by those with the resources to do so

Make/receive phone calls

Send/receive sms/mms texts (mms requiring data)

Wi-Fi connections (aka "the Internet")

However, in all cases above, the geolocation isn't as accurate as with GPS (if you are judicious about your location settings), and, more to the point, the applications themselves don't have access to the cell tower information (although they do have access to your IP address, which can be roughly geolocated).

We have to assess our threat level where I'm not using fake location apps to hide from a well-funded TLA adversary; I'm using the fake location to simply hide from the likes of Google and other nefarious outfits that put the tracking APIs inside the code (which is why almost none of my apps require GSF).

If what you're saying is that the mock location apps "fool" the likes of Google Maps, I fully agree with you. If... If... if...

If you don't allow Google Maps to run a more detailed analysis that is.

As an example, I recently ran a test inside of a local town where I had the fake location set to miles away, and Google Maps was telling me I was where the fake location said I was... but...

But... then Google Maps asked me to snap a photo so that it could better figure out where I was, and BINGO! It figured out where I was based on the video that I allowed (for test purposes) to show the storefronts.

When I tested it again without allowing the video to see anything of value (e.g., I panned to the mountains above), Google Maps could NOT geolocate me.

Likewise when you don't let Google Maps geolocate by WI-Fi address (although for all I know the camera mechanism sneakily allowed that as I'm well aware there are TWO APIs for turning on your GPS radio, one of which (from Google) is downright nefarious)...

vs

Notice that, for this very reason, you NEVER want to turn on your GPS radio from ANY Google app prompt!

If you need to navigate and if you don't want to be tracked by Google, I found a little trick that works kind of nicely with the simple interfaces of the offline mapping programs.

Set your position as your destination in the mock location app

Use any offline map to set your current position as a waypoint

Then use the offline map app to route to your destination

Another "trick" that keeps you out of Google maps' databases is that you can easily get traffic using a web shortcut of the area you are currently traveling in - where you don't need to know your exact location in order to check out the traffic in front of you.

Yet another trick for traffic is that PLENTY of web sites provide Google traffic updates without logging into Google web servers (afaik), such as sigalert apps, 511 apps, and many local DOT apps such as caltrans (for California).

Overall, in summary, the mock location apps work to prevent apps that use your GPS location from tracking you - but as @ze7zez warned, it will only work for GPS and not for cell tower tracking.
[The Best Apps You've Never Heard of] ze7zez:
This is not true.

Go into your phone's service mode and see for yourself what the phone knows about the mast connection.
[The Best Apps You've Never Heard of] Renate:
Here's a cheesy Cell Diagnostic app that I wrote myself:

Note that the only permissions that it uses is android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE and android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION

It refuses to give you this information if you have "Location" turned off.
[The Best Apps You've Never Heard of] GalaxyA325G:
As always, you're correct... but.... you're being too narrow I think... in that debugging apps which we use when we need to are different from the run-of-the-mill apps we use all day every day...

There are only "some" apps, which I'm well aware of, that have your telephony information, such as this one which requires you to provide that permission first...

Once you manually provide that permission, yes, of course, the app has you dead in its sights... but most apps (that don't need it) don't ask for THAT much permission... (nor would you let them if they did).
[The Best Apps You've Never Heard of] GalaxyA325G:
You bring up a good point that a few Android releases ago Google cheated like hell by forcing apps to request "Location" being turned on in order for the app to display unrelated things such as "Wi-Fi signal strength"...

Which is ANOTHER good reason for being able to set the mock location... because the Wi-Fi Signal Strength of all nearby access points has nothing (per se) to do with your current GPS location.

EDIT: BTW, as a related aside, I post a billion screenshots to the Internet, where some of them contain GPS location - which - if spoofed - means I don't need to redact it in those screenshots. For other information though, such as the cell tower information, I never know how much to redact (for privacy) where you didn't redact anything on your screenshot.

Can you let me know which are the cellular tower information pointers that we should redact for privacy when posting screenshots?

https://xdaforums.com/attachments/cell1-png.5676683/
[The Best Apps You've Never Heard of] Renate:
The CDMA system has a place for actual Lat/Long. But, these cells are set up by various people and the amount of information in them is variable.

I've rarely seen lat/long on a CDMA signal

The LTE stuff only references cell number. You need a database to reference it to location.

I have a few cell numbers hard-coded to named location.

I can't even find my current tower on https://www.opencellid.org/
[The Best Apps You've Never Heard of] GalaxyA325G:
I'm aware there are open signal public OSM cell-tower-location databases (which essentially suck - but which are good enough to track your general location) and then there are the "real" databases (which the carriers and the FCC kind of sort of keep to themselves.

The reason open signal public OSM databases only "essentially" suck is because they're averages from lots of people, so, for example, a tower might be on the wrong side of the railroad tracks or in the middle of a river on those open signal public OSM maps when it's not really the case - but they're still good enough to geolocate you to a general area were I to publish the unique number in the screenshots.

My tower is almost always my own femtocell or my cellular repeater (both of which I have but usually the femtocell wins out), which is unique to me (which is why I'm worried about privacy).

Unless you're in my driveway, only I would be using that femtocell (I don't know how far out they go, but it's not more than a few hundred feet at the most, isn't it?).

Hi, I'm a new member of the forum and this is my first post.

I've read this thread and it's an interesting discussion about layers in global positioning. But I have a simpler question out of curiosity;

is there perhaps a way to work around this plugin (https://github.com/wongpiwat/trust-location) without root / only with developer option, since I haven't found any fake gps app that could fool/bypass this part.

Or do I have to use a custom ROM to accomplish it?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WIKO4:
Hello,

since a long time, I'm searching for a solution to root my Wiko View 4 (W-V830-EEA).

I tried to use automatic root software without success: KingRoot (PC & apk version), KingoRoot (PC & apk version) and VRoot (PC version).

I also have the problem, that I can't find the original stock rom for this device and also no alternative recovery like TWRP.

Everything I found was this rom: {Mod edit: Link removed. Oswald Boelcke}

But I can't download this rom without a premium account and I also don't know, if this is the correct firmware for my device.

My custom build version is: W-V830-EEA-V01.130-20-10.0-GBL

My build number is: QP1A.190711.020 release-keys

Only unlocking the bootloader with "fastboot flashing unlock" worked.

Is anyone able to upload the exact rom version for this device? Than I could try to patch the boot.img with Magisk and root the phone in this way.

Thanks for any help :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] go0:
to dl stock rom from wiko, goto wikomobile.com

at the bottom of page, click "MAJ" and you should end up here:

Wiko Mobile : Espace Client / Connexion.

customer-fr.wikomobile.com

enter your IMEI and you should trigger a download of the stock ROM package (in a ZIP in an EXE blabla but you can extract it all manually

EDIT: looks like this site doesn't charge either https://firmwarefile.com/wiko-view-4-lite-w-v730

if the view 4 is anything like the view 3, you cannot flash the magisk modified boot image from fastboot without unlocking the bootloader which I have not figure out how to do...

As you, i found the website needrom, but i don't dare to try a subscription in order to download the rom file about View4 (and others Wiko).

Also, on the official site wikomobile.com, official roms are not available since a long time ago, they stopped that from View3 release...

I want to quickly thank the members of this forum for all the software devlopment and "how to"s they provide. Me and my AT&T Tilt thank you.

I've been looking for a thin client. If you are familiar with other programs like Microsoft Terminal Services Connection (MSTSC), VNC, or Citrix then you know what I'm taking about.

I've searched with several keywords nad it's the first thing I havn't been able to find here on xda-developers.

Stop reading here if you don't care why I'm asking for this.

I work for a small business and part of my responsibility is IT help desk. Recently I've started working on my degree and am out of the office every afternoon.

If I get a help desk call and am at home I started using VNC on my home PC to check out their desktop. This usually cuts my calls from half an hour to five minutes. Seeing as I'm not paid for time this is a good thing.

Soon I'll be spending much more time on campus. Actually, the main reason I bought this phone was so that I could support my office immediately while remaining mobile.

So, does anyone know of a good thin client I could use? Thanks in advace.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] archem:
Is it integrated into WM6.1 (and I've missed it) or is it a download I need to get?

I'm definitely willing to give it a shot.

Sorry for my noobishness. I've only had my phone for about two weeks now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] archem:
A bit of research shows that it should be part of WM 6 but I do not have it for some reason. I don't know what the local forum rules are so I'll err on the side of safety and just say searching google for "Window Mobile Remote Desktop Client" will quickly lead you to a solution for re-installing the application if you do not have it.

Thank you for the help.
