Hi All.

This is really a follow on from the previous large post about people having difficulties using their WM6 device and Exchange 2007 activesync.

I have Dutty's April 08 Lite" Rom, and apparently Dutty's ROMs have a bug which do not allow them to Sync via ActiveSync with Exchange 2007.

Can somebody please confirm this, and if so, recommend me another "lite" rom which doesnt have any of this manilla rubbish, or cube or themes, something nice and fast with minimal apps .

:cool: I don't really class this as a ROM request, it is a valid question.

Thanks

Hello guys, I need TWRP or stock recovery for Ticwatch C2+. I tried to install ROM from this thread, but it looks like C2 have another recovery than C2+ (i had an error "dtb not found"), so I bricked my smartwatch :/

I will be very grateful if someone shares this recovery with me :)

For the past two weeks, the Gmail android app has stopped automatically syncing mail from my primary Google account. Sync is turned on in both the Gmail app as well as in Settings. I've tried toggling them off and on as well. Other Google accounts sync mail without a problem so I don't think it's an issue of Gmail not running in the background but I've also set the app to "Unrestricted" battery usage.

I've tested this on 4 different Android devices and my personal account doesn't sync on any of them (including an older version of the app). I'm currently using the Outlook app until I can figure out the problem and it automatically syncs the account just fine. Co-incidence or not, I started noticing this around the time I installed Nameless ROM on my Oneplus 8T. I've tried totally removing the Google account from the devices and re-adding it multiple times. Any idea what could be causing my personal Google account not be playing nice with the Gmail android app?
[General Questions and Answers] mmaattgg90:
Did you find a solution ? Im facing same problem. Just one account doesnt sync and its my primary... I tried different phones and on all of them it cannot sync my data on that account. Gmail not working untill I enter it
[General Questions and Answers] CutterSpindell:
Unfortunately, no, I haven't found a solution. I'm just continuing to use another email for that account.

Did it start completely out of the blue for you or had you recently installed a custom ROM or anything?
[General Questions and Answers] mmaattgg90:
Installed custom rom but on different phone. My main is stock
[General Questions and Answers] mmaattgg90:
Also already uninstalled every device from myaccount.google.com and still doesnt work. I've tried also on fresh phone but it doesnt work too. I have other gmail accounts and they are syncing without any problems on every device.
[General Questions and Answers] CutterSpindell:
Yeah, sounds like we have the exact same issue. I also asked on Reddit a couple weeks ago and didn't get any responses. I'll let you know if I find a solution though.
[General Questions and Answers] CutterSpindell:
Just an update to say that my account has started syncing again today. I didn't make any changes recently on my end so I still don't know the cause but at least it's resolved.
[General Questions and Answers] Rasel1933:
I had a similar issue with Gmail not syncing on one of my accounts a while back. It was super frustrating, especially when everything seemed fine with other accounts. I tried all the usual fixes too—toggling sync, checking battery settings—but nothing worked. Turns out, for me, it was related to some funky settings after a system update on my phone. AccsZone suggested clearing the Gmail app cache (Settings > Apps > Gmail > Storage > Clear Cache) and restarting the phone. Surprisingly, that did the trick! Maybe worth a shot if you haven't tried it yet? Also, since you mentioned installing a custom ROM around the time the issue started, that could definitely be a factor. Sometimes ROMs can mess with app behaviors unexpectedly.
[General Questions and Answers] iorthop:
Hi. I am facing the same issue since Jan 2024. I have the Gmail Android app, with 3 Gmail accounts. Everything was working fine until the beginning of 2024. Since then only 2 out of 3 are synching correctly. The 3rd is not synchronising and also all the emails, although I can see them, they cannot be opened.

I have tried clearing the cache and restarting the mobile. Didn't work. Neither uninstalling and re-installing gmail app worked.

[Shift General] hykhleif:
Dear All

I have 3 important questions

1- I have bought my shift from spain, and I can't use it since its in spanish, so i thought what if I format it all, can I install an english vista on? And how do I do it step by step. Will the Vista Home Premium work on the HTC shift, and after I install the vista premium on it, do I have to get the HTC drivers?

2- Does the shift have GPS, and if yes, which software is available to install on it. Is it possible to install IGO on the windows mobile side, and how do i do that?

3- I noticed that the wireless connection if I am not close to it, like for example i am away from 50 meters, I noticed that streaming media really becomes buggy. What could be the problem, and how can I solve it.

Best wishes

[Shift General] deadnex:
1. You can install a fresh copy of windows vista using an external dvd drive. However, it might be easier to try to change the display language for the already installed edition of Vista. Here is a guide from microsoft on how to change the display language. If you choose to install a fresh copy you can download the HTC drivers from here.

2. The HTC shift has a built in GPS but the drivers for it is not embebbed in SnapVue. Read this thread for info on how to flash a custom ROM.

3. Have you tried using the "High performance" power setting in Vista?
[Shift General] Neutron83:
deadnex said most,

the biggest problem with GPS Software is that the SD' Card wasnt enabled yet for the Windows Mobile side, some people used iGo software on it with tiny maps cause u have very few storage space until someone gets the SD-Card working !!

So if you like to use it as a Navi i would prefer to wait or get a Navi solution !
[Shift General] hykhleif:
can I ask another question

So is it possible to install Windows Vista home Premium on the HTC, will I encounter any problems if I do with drivers and performance. And do I have to do a full format? If yes does this mean I will lose the recovery partition?
[Shift General] deadnex:
Yes, it is possible to install Vista Home Premium on the Shift. All of the drivers are available from the HTC webpage so this should not cause any problems. You will need to format the primary partition to install Home Premium. The easiest way to do this is to boot from your Vista Home Premium DVD, and when you are about to choose the partition windows will install to - delete it and then add it again. The recovery partition is locked an will not be deleted if you format the primary partition. The performance should be the same with Home Premium.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Deleted member 12242345:
Good morning/evening,

I'd like to unlock my device using MiUnlockTool and I was wondering if it wipes the phone data ?

I've already done some researches but replies are mixed and pretty old, + since it's clearly saying "Unlock will erase data" I'm wondering if it's related to the "first" unlock, or the "true" one you're doing after waiting for 7 days.

I hope I gave enough information about my problem, thanks in advance !
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] code28h4p:
It will erase your data while unlock process

That's what I thought then, thanks for replying.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Manuelbarillas:
Hello there. I have to know if anyone else has the same thing with the redmi 11 or similar devices.

Normally I usually save my downloads made on my cell phone in the micro sd, but they don't appear immediately in my gallery! That is, I can see them with a specific file explorer,but not in gallery (google photos, miui gallery, files of google or any other gallery app) It's very strange, and they only show up in the gallery after I restart the phone. I guess it's because it only refreshes the gallery scan for the files inside the micro sd when i restart the phone. But it does not refresh at the time of download Does anyone else happen? But more importantly, does anyone know of a solution? That is not to restart the mobile or remove and reinsert the micro sd
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] NeoSDAP:
If you configured Google Chrome (or some other Chromium-based browser) to store the downloads on the SD card, they do not go to the "Download" folder of the SD, but to this address:

Android > media (or data) > SD card > com.android.chrome > files > Download > *your files*
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Schmuppes:
Why are you all using caps for the post titles?
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Manuelbarillas:
I fully understand that part, the problem is not finding the files in their directories, the problem is that all gallery files such as photos or videos are not displayed in the gallery application until I restart the mobile, what if it does not examine new media files even if they are in their directories . It is strange to explain, yes I can find them with a file explorer, but with a gallery viewer it is impossible until I restart the mobile

Hey folks,

sometimes when I use M3D to change the sound profile from "normal" to "silent" and back ... my settings are kinda lost. Meaning, that when I change back from silent to normal, the the sliders for system and ring sounds stay at 0% and my phone stays silent.

Anybody else experiencing this?

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mkhcb:
So I was reading reddit when someone pointed out how laggy/buggy Nova was... I too noticed this but thought it was related to the Pixel 6 Pro poor thermal management and throttling of the CPU. However, upon reading their analysis that they tried other launchers with great success + given the fact that I no longer suffer from overheating issues (on Android 13 since yesterday), I looked further into this.

Apparently the beta 8.x version of Nova Launcher seems to support Android 12 and 13. However, the play store has a 9 month old beta version that is 3 versions behind and still stuck in the 7.x apks.

If you want to update your Nova Launcher and make the pixel 6 pro buttery smooth, you might want to consider downloading the most recent beta version from their website: https://novalauncher.com/beta
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KOLIOSIS:
Not having any problems with Nova 7.x on my P6P, or, any other devices I have (Samsung/OnePlus/ Nokia) & to the best of my memory, never have, at least as far as smoothness/etc.

I'm guessing a lot of people are hesitant to "upgrade" to Nova 8.0,count me in that group :

Nova Launcher has been acquired by analytics company Branch

Hopefully, this isn’t the end of an era for Android launchers

www.androidpolice.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mkhcb:
I saw that a few week ago too. But the beta has an opt-in, rather than opt-out approach.

That said, if you are experiencing buttery smooth effects, no gesture issues, no intermittent blank home screens, etc, then there is no need to update. This post was made to help others who experienced the same thing as me.

Up until yesterday/today, my pixel experience had been subpar. But with the new Nova Launcher and Android 13, I have no complaints.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KOLIOSIS:
I saw that as well (the opt-in on the analytics).

Perhaps needlessly & unwarrantedly so, I'm still leery of updating.

The best move they made was when they partnered with Razer, how cool that was to have Nova as the stock Launcher (nice phone).

Whenever Nova 7.x becomes incompatible, I might start looking around for a different Launcher.... If for no other reason, just to see what is out there.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] entropism:
I wouldn't touch Nova with a 10 foot pole after their buyout. No way in hell I trust the new company with my data.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] iRhyiku:
I don't believe that, I've heard that from so many people and companies and it always turns out to be a lie.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KOLIOSIS:
FWIW, the last version of Nova that doesn't have the Branch Analytics code is 8.0.1

Nova 8.0.2 & above is the 1st version published w/Branch Analytics.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] entropism:
So they say. They can always collect your data on the back end.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ThaiDai:
After I read about this it took about 5 minutes to delete Nova Launcher from all my Android Devices. Sad but necessary.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'll keep using the last version of 7.x until I just have to change launchers due to incompatibility/bugs with new Android versions, or Nova miraculously extricates themselves from Branch. I was reasonably calm at first, although I did tell Kevin and company that I would be keeping Nova from updating for the next year and see what things are like at that time.

As these couple of weeks have passed, I feel angrier and angrier that Kevin sold it, and it really doesn't have much bearing that Kevin and company are still primary developers on it. That's very common with any sale such as this, and doesn't mean anything. In this day and age, they should've known better - that no matter how innocent they were convinced the transaction was, that it is likely a Nova-killer.

I'm not going to do anything rash like changing my Play Store's 5-star review to 1-star - yet. Nova was the premier Launcher for so long, I still feel Kevin and company deserve some benefit of the doubt. I don't believe there was any bad intention. I'm sure they spent a long time judging if this was the right move, but I think they convinced themselves that it was the right move when we as users largely know how bad it looks and how many times we users have been burned in the past from similar actions.

The reason I am so angry is that I love Nova so much. I was passionate about it and I recommended it to everyone. Now I'm sad that I cannot in good conscience do so anymore. Although it is too early to tell, and I won't be using v8 myself so I'll be going by other folks' reports, unless something changes in the next year or two, I feel that I'll have no choice but to migrate to another launcher, and I am not one to hop between launchers.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
I'm not happy either with the Branch acquisition but I'll keep using Nova. I don't see any launcher offering so many options. Until I find one I guess?

I've blocked the call to the Branch API anyway so no data will be going to them from my devices.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mkhcb:
How did you block the API? I agree, there are no good alternative to Nova, I have looked around and have been under impressed by other launchers.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
I'm using Personal DNS Filter to block ads systemwide. Just add api2.branch.io to your block list. And boom, no more telemetry!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KOLIOSIS:
In general, I agree w/your sentiments.

However, I don't begrudge them on what they've done (basically, selling the app to Branch Analytics).

I'm sure the devs didn't make a rash decision & yes, in the end, I'm sure $$$ was a major consideration. In that regard alone, good for them.

Guessing you went Pro w/this app a long time ago (I did) & guessing a lot of other people did as well, whether they paid full price or, got it on the seemingly annual sale price ($1.00 or so).

Either way, I've more than got my money's worth & it's been a good ride.

No bitterness towards the devs at all, but, I'd be lying to say I am looking forward to finding another launcher.

It'll probably be years before 8.0.1 & lower are unusable, so, until then, gonna keep on keeping on.

I've tried countless launchers dating back to Android 2.1 (Eclair).

IIRC, my 1st go-to was Launcher Pro (the Nova of its time, IMHO)

After that, Apex & Holo Launchers (also a seemingly lifetime ago).

Been on Nova ever since, gonna be a strange day, to say the least, when another launcher becomes my DD.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] lkhafra:
Maaaannnnnn I missed Launcher Pro for the longest time. What ever happened to Federico? It's like he vanished.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TekHck:
what really happened to nova ? 😶
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Barrel Titor:
On July 19th 2022, the creator of Nova Launcher announced that Nova Launcher and Sesame Search has been acquired by "Branch", which is an "analytics enterprise that specializes in deep linking and mobile measurement". They pinky promised that all data gathering and analyzing, will only be used for "research", "development", "expertise" and "feedback", but they (Nova) pretty much tanked their reputation with that move since you can probably imagine how easy it is to track user behaviour, create user profiles and market those to advertisers.

Here's the official announcement: https://novalauncher.com/branch

I've honestly never really heard from them again. I disabled auto-updates for nova in google play because i'm also not willing to use nova with branch, but even so, there are no updates (on play at least).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] AlDollaz:
Latest beta is from July 11th: https://novalauncher.com/beta
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] BROKEN1981:
I see everyone complaining. I'm clueless as to why. Is the company seeing the various 1940's style razors I buy off Amazon? Or my Proraso shave products?

Is it looking at the apps I use the most? YouTube and CourtTv app?

Even if it took my web browsing history, they will see I'm just boring guy. I use Nova on my old Samsung tab. I don't use it on my Pixel.

Also main reason I won't use it on my Pixel is because the widget won't look like stock as pictured.

[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] xHyp3rx:
Hi,

Does anyone here have experience with hardcode tuning on the ROG 6?

On the ROG 5, I was able to mess with settings in hardcore tuning to make it just as fast (even faster than) the Gaming mode level 3 (which forces you to use the fan, which isn't great at cooling). SO I was trying to replicate this on the ROG 6, but the settings have changed (reduced significantly), and I cannot even achieve the same performance of the ROG 5 (both phones fan-less at this point).

Also noteworthy, on the ROG 5, I was able to tune it such that the max processing frequency (2.84 GHz) was always showing in the game genie panel, while playing my game... but on the ROG 6, i cannot figure out how to max it the same way using hardcore tuning... The game genie panel shows a blue bar instead (Which grows and shrinks with the frequency) rather than showing the current number...

Any comments? Is the only truly way to get better speed using the Aero Active Cooler 6? My goal is unlock the speed, then use external cooling, like I do with ROG 5..... right now my 5 is faster than my 6 :(

Thanks

Hi.

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to your question.

However, if you have both of these devices, will you help me? Which model has better speakers? I mean the volume and depth of the bass. I am interested in the effect with the use of an equalizer.

Thanks
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] ongnoicuagod:
All i can say is , Asus havent fully unlock the phone potential . But thats a good thing , during hardcore gaming section( genshin impact max setting) , rog phone 6 without fan barely reach 43°c, while my rog 3 could reach 50-52°c under minutes. and the fps ism ore stable . I think Asus wants to prevent rog 6 from becoming hard brick cus of overheating too early so they lock some of the feature in hardcore tuning .

"New mobile virus goes 'old school'

"A new virus is relying on some old tricks to infect Windows Mobile users. The so-called 'companion virus' attack uses a method of assuming the identity of an existing file and moving the old file to a different location.

The virus then runs itself when the original file is called, often loading the displaced file after the virus code has been executed.

Advertisement

When researchers at McAfee first examined the virus, they were surprised to find that such an infection technique was still in use.

"This was a bit odd since companion viruses used to be more popular in the days of DOS and we haven't seen too many on newer platforms," wrote McAfee researcher Jimmy Shah in a blog posting.

Other elements of the virus are quite modern. The code itself is encrypted and polymorphic, allowing the virus to rewrite its own code to avoid detection by security software."
