[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Wrong PCB. There's more than one variant for the N10+!

It happened to me, no phone or internet connection.

Check the old PCB for it's PN, that's the one you need. It will work perfectly once it has the right part🤣
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] hemmjonny:
Ah I was wondering that. I have the N9750 as I was being cheap and got it from abroad on ebay.

I stupidly chucked the old one away as it looked like it was all fine but it was just wifi calling I had. 🙈
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Been there, done that. Rude surprises🤣

PN#'s matter🤣🤣🤣
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] hemmjonny:

Thanks for all your help. Least I have a good idea what the issue is.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] coldshiver:
I recently installed a Xtrons PQS90MTVL head unit in a skoda superb. I have a couple of questions on how to get it to work correctly when navigating.

1) It seems that you can set the navigation sounds to be a percentage of the radio volume but cannot set it to play at a given volume regardless. The problem is that the radio seems to be constantly on and there is no way to turn it off. The 'on/off' button simply mutes the radio - and the navigation sounds.

Often I am in an area where I cannot pick up a decent radio signal on the programme I want and just get static. In these situations I want to turn the radio off but still hear navigation sounds. I don't want to listen to loud static just so I can have the nav sounds play at a percentage of that static. Is there a way to turn the radio off but still get navigation sounds? (a workaround I have found is to play a media file instead of the radio and then pause playback. The nav sounds are then still a percentage of the - non existent - playback volume. However this should not be necessary)

2) It also seems that a Internet connection is needed for any navigation. even google maps won't do a search without it as it says I am offline. (is this true?)

I have bought the 4G wifi dongle but have a question about its use. Does the HU connect to the dongle, as far as data is concerned, via the USB socket that comes out of the back of the unit or is that socket simply powering the dongle and the HUI is actually connecting to it over wifi using the dongle as a hotspot? If so then I don't have to use the wired usb socket from the unit (which I suspect is underpowered) and can plug the dongle into an ordinary 2A USB socket that I have in the car, positioning the dongle near the roof for a better signal

Incidentally I did try using Android Auto with my phone using wired connection. That seems sort of OK but is not very reliable. Often when starting the car it hangs at the 'connected' screen, or even at the 'trying to connect' screen, although other times it seems OK

3) There is a small socket on the left hand side of the HU that looks like a slot for a small memory card or a sim card. It is labelled 'GPS'. What is that socket used for? it is not mentioned in the manual as far as I can see. - The manual is generally a bit hand waving though, excitedly telling you what you can do but not how to do it.

Will I get answers here then?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
First of all you need to fix your FM reception. You need to use a phantom power adapter to get some voltage to the OEM antenna.

There are some navigation apps which don´t need a internet connection. TomTom as example and others using offline maps. But you won´t get traffic messages if you don´t have an internet connection.

That would fix your white noise.

The FM radio can be closed if you use the back button on top right. If that does not help, chose the recent apps button on top and swipe the radio app away as for each other app... You really should learn how to use Android. ;)

The navigation loudness can be set in the system settings. Depends on the unit where you can find it. In this case the navigation software needs to be registered as navigation in settings /Apps/Standard apps.

Regarding your 4G-WiFi dongle... The name itself shows the functionality.

It connects via 4G to the internet and provides the connection via WiFi to anyone in the car.... even too to the radio.

The GPS slot on your radio is nothing else as a micro-SD slot, which also can be used to store music on it or whatever else you want.

BTW: Seems that you are not that familiar with car electronics. May be a good idea to ask someone who can help you with some knowledge what has to be done.

Might be an easy task to just swap a radio, but there are more things behind than just swapping.
[Android Head-Units] Mr.TT_NZ:
May I recommend 'Magic Earth' navigation, works fine with no internet but no live data of course.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
At least there are a lot more offline navigation apps...

Out of memory:

Google Maps (partially with downloaded segmented maps)

HERE WeGo

Navmii GPS World

OsmAnd

MAPS.ME

Magic Earth

TomTom

iGo

But without internet... no traffic data..
[Android Head-Units] coldshiver:
Thanks for a helpful reply. I have already fitted a power injector for the FM antenna which made some difference but I like to listen to radio 4 and there are parts of the country (along the M11, on the A5 in North Wales), where you cannot pick it up on any radio - and of course in Europe where I have just been for a few weeks where I usually don't want the radio on at all. That's why having the nav sound set as a percentage of the existing volume seems a bit odd as it implies you already have some other sound on. Better to have a dedicated channel for it or have the nav mute any other sound.

I'll look at doing all the swiping etc to turn off the radio by closing recent apps although this doesn't seen like a very safe thing to start doing when you drive into a area of poor reception. I was hoping the unit would have a simple press button like in the good old days!

The dongle info is also useful thank you. Xtrons do not make this clear at all. They imply that by plugging it into the socket on the unit you have made a (wired) data connection. If the HU is still only connecting over wifi anyway then I can install the dongle wherever I like in the car so that it gets a good 4G signal, instead of it having to be in the driver footwell at the end of the short USB cable xtrons supply and I can use a dedicated 2A usb adaptor to supply decent power .

I guessed the 'GPS' socket might have nothing to do with GPS. Shame Xtrons couldn't say what it was for instead of just mis-labelling it.

Incidentally. The SIM in the dongle would only ever be used for the navigation to receive traffic updates or bits of map or whatever it needs i.e I don't intend to be surfing the net or downloading Utube videos. Do you have any idea what sort of data requirements this would mean. Would a 250Mb a month sim be enough?

I'll experiment with your suggestions.
[Android Head-Units] coldshiver:
I'll look into those thank you. I use maps.me on my phone but couldn't get google maps to work on the HU as it said I was offline. Of course I still need an internet connection to download any of those apps and install them on the HU but I could just park near my house and using the house wifi.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Data plan for using navigation online data depends on the app you use and the amount of mileage per month.

You can use your smartphone first to see what you need in a "normal usage" month and then decide what you need.

If you use any offline map solution, it´s also some sort of usage dependency.

BTW... If you would invest into a higher data plan (2GB), you could use the app Radionator to use Online radio. BBC Radio4 should be in there too. Radionator is the best alternative if you want to listen to one specific radio station. Just needs a stable internet connection, nothing else... and the sound is mostly better than FM.

May be you can use the Navradio+ as alternativ solution for receiving FM radio. Depends on the MCU of your unit. Search for it in MTCD software forum.
[Android Head-Units] DexterMorganNL:
I would recommend to use HERE WeGo, it served me very well for the years I didn't have mobile internet connection. Also it shows the max allowed speed in most countries, whereas Google Maps doesn't do that.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Sure, Here WeGo is a good choice, even without internet connection.
[Google Pixel 6a] Tomel51:
Couldn't figure out best title for this thread since not easy to explain in a few words.

Have my new Pixel 6a and Series-A earbuds working together great. Only one problem. When I ask Google assistant to pause what I'm listening to on my 6a, our TV is also paused. Somehow the earbuds / Google Assistant is connected to both the 6a and our Sony Bravia A80CJ TV. I've looked on the TV and the 6a to try to find where the devices are connected so I can unlink them but cannot find anything that shows the link. The TV uses a Bluetooth connection to the remote so I can't just turn off Bluetooth on the TV. I look on the 6a under Settings / Connected Devices / See All and the only thing that shows up are the earbuds.

Any suggestions where to look or how to disconnect the two devices? Thanks for any advice.
[Google Pixel 6a] bobby janow:
My question is how did you do this? I want it.
[Google Pixel 6a] Tomel51:
How did I do it? Wish I knew.:). I was listening to something on my new earbuds and asked Google Assistant to pause. I heard my wife, who was in the next room listening to TV, say "Who paused the tv!!!" Obviously, I've got to get this figured out.
[Google Pixel 6a] deepseaturtle:
It's probably the Google Assistant that pauses the TV. How does it manage to do it, I don't know.
[Google Pixel 6a] Zaxx32:
I've had go 'rounds with Alexa taking liberties with my TV...but that'd be a wifi thing...not sure how google assistant does it's thing. Can't be screwin' with the wife's TV tho...that doesn't end well.:confused:

You must soft reset.
[Touch HD General] itzstein:
Thanks a lot,

I did a soft reset (turn off-turn on). I also see the changed name (from Telefon into Kalender; it's a german version).

But:

If I press the soft key I get a warning, that the program has a unvalid security certificate or could not find or parts of the programm are missing (if I use \Windows\calender.exe). Further ideas what my problem is?

Thanks
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
Turn off then turn on is not a soft reset. Remove the back cover and poke into the reset hole is one way to do it.
[Touch HD General] itzstein:
Ok, I thought turn off and turn on is like a reboot of the phone. I use the reset you suggest but I got the same error message. :confused:
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
please check the path andprogram that you have linked to the softkey. Try running that program from start/program and see if the problem is there.
[Touch HD General] itzstein:
Thanks a lot eaglesteve!

Your advice to put the program into the program tab of tf3d was the solution. Thus I found the regestry entry and also the correct link I have to use. To my surprise it was linked to \Windows\Startmenü\Kalender.lnk and not to the direct exe file in the Windows root folder. After using this path it worked immediately. Btw without any reset! :D:eek:

Change Softkey zu "Sync Data"

Hi,

in TF3D - settings there is the first item "sync data" (in german Daten synchronisieren - Acticesync und Internetdaten), which start directly the synchronisation whis my Exchange-Server.

I would like to put this on my left Softkey instead of "Telefon", but I don't know, which *.exe oder whatever I have to chose therefore.

Does somebody have an idea?

[Touch HD General] itzstein:
Hello,

try this one for the Pathvalue: \Windows\Startmenü\Programme\ActiveSync.lnk

Good luck.
[Touch HD General] bos4xda:
Thank you very much, but it is not the right Solution, yet.

This opens the ActiveSync Screen, but starts not automatically the synchronisation process.

Maybe there's missing an additional option like ...ActiveSync.lnk -option ?

Just wanted to thank you all for the information; worked perfectly (linked the start menu .lnk item).

Hello

I just got a nexus 7 2012 version from someone for free.

It does not turn on, does not charge. I tried all sorts of things including "jump starting " the battery.

Looks like I fried the battery doing that.

THe battery reads about 3.4 volts but it should be 4.7 volts correct?

Seeing all this, do you think its worth it to purchase another battery to see if this is the problem?

I am thinking its a dead battery with a reading like that, and wont accept charge anymore.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ForForkSake:
I simply use ladb - it's an app that makes the whole process a breeze

See a big xda write up about it here ..

How to debloat your phone (and more) without connecting to a PC

LADB is an app that lets you run ADB shell commands from your phone, no root and no PC needed! Use it to debloat your phone and more!

www.xda-developers.com
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GalaxyA325G:
Thanks for that advice to use Local ADB which "leverages Android’s built-in support for ADB over WiFi to provide a GUI for sending shell commands straight from the Android device."

The great news is that was the first XDA Developers' tutorial that I've seen that showed cognizance of the new Android 11 features of setting up adb completely wirelessly (without need for USB first).

* GitHub: LADB (A local ADB shell for Android!)

The bad news is that, at least upon initial inspection, ladb doesn't do anything you can't do inside of Termux as far as I can tell (is that correct though - maybe the ladb apk can do more privileged actions?).

Spoiler content hidden.

But worse, the LocalADB instructions clearly say to do the same manual (aurgh!) steps we've been doing all along.

That is, even with LADB, they're still NOT obtaining the random port address programatically; they're getting it manually - just like I've been doing all along without LADB.

So ladb doesn't change anything... as far as I can tell (but maybe I'm wrong?).

If I were to "guess" wildly - then that means what everyone wants is perhaps impossible to accomplish; but I'm still hoping that's not the case - but - the point is to find an updated XDA Developers' tutorial that shows an awareness of the stated problem set.

EDIT: I have an idea. I installed LADB on Android, and now I'm trying to see if I can query that LADB from the PC using adb commands where the goal is maybe the PC adb can query the Android ladb to figure out what the current random port assignment is???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ForForkSake:
Yes .. everything you have said is correct

I wouldn't say it has any special privileges. It just guides you through the connection process.

You end up with a blank canvas in terminal - just as you would using termux

Not sure what the app costs, I purchased pre release so cost barely a thing

either way , it cuts out some of the faff and i'd certainly recommend for a less tech savvy person...

Then again.. why wouldn't anyone with no clue, use adb?

If I can assist in any way. Feel free to give me a shout on telegram
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Surge1223:
Adb source changes a lot, with the adb wifi stuff being added in, you could probably compile a modified adb binary to use via an apk like ladb that could use a static serial number connection method.

In source, there's a lot of testing binaries you can compile, iirc in maybe 11-dev branch there was some code commented out to allow for more insecure connections.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ForForkSake:
Hey I have noticed that shizuku also uses wireless adb...

I may have time to test it later.
