[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] DaKiller147:
Hello

I got the Fold4 a few days ago and still figuring things out

I don't seem to understand how the stock camera app switches cameras

There are 3 'predefined' optical zoom options at the bottom:

1. .6x - Assuming this is the 10MP ultra-wide camera (top camera, furthest from the flash LED)

2. 1x - Assuming this is the main 50MP wide camera (middle camera)

3. 3x - Assuming this is the bottom 12MP 3x telephoto camera (bottom camera, closest to the flash LED)

The thing is - if I cover the bottom camera with my finger and toggle all the zoom options, none of them show a covered camera.

It seems my assumption is right about 1 and 2, but the 3x zoom option also uses the main 50MP middle camera, and it just crops the image

Only going digital zoom of 10x or above makes it switch to the bottom telephoto camera

If I switch the camera app to video then it's a different story, 1x uses the main 50MP camera and 3x uses the 12MP bottom camera

Anyone has this issue or any information on it?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] frogdr1ver:
Just checked mine and it switches between all three cameras
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Kash:
I also just checked mine and when the 3:4 mode is selected then it will move between the 3 cameras based on when I select the preset 0.6x, 1x and 3x zoom.

However what I don't understand is when I can select the 3:4 50MP camera then there are no other preset zooms to choose... What is the difference between this mode and the 3:4 mode - are they both 50MP??
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] DaKiller147:
I think the regular 3:4 mode is only 12MP (3000x4000 resolution), maybe to save memory or to do produce better pictures with some algorithm.

the 3:4 50MP takes advantage of the full capability of the sensor

This option exists in most of their modern phones
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] cac9478:
The zoom camera will automatically default back to the main camera if the ambient light level is too low. Because the zoom lens has a smaller aperture it performs worse in dark environments. It is likely being triggered by your finger covering the lens. This has been the case with all multi lens camera phones that Samsung makes.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] DaKiller147:
Thank you, I did not know that

Confirmed it by switching to 3x when all cameras are covered and uncovering only the 2 top ones

It will auto switch to telephoto camera when it gets bright enough

ty this fixed my zoom problem for pictures. but when recording video it does not switch can some one direct me to an app or to a fix please

[Android Head-Units] RRRSwing:
Hi all,

I bought this Android Head Unit from a company that is giving no support at all. It is made for my Mercedes Sprinter dash.

Google services (Maps and Play store) were never working, because the Google Login form would always go away after 5 seconds, making it unable to login.

It had IGO navigation on it which was working for a while. In trying to figure out how to solve the IGO navigation I did a factory reset, after which the head unit was still working but IGO was completely gone. It gave me some ES File explorer and things.

I am also unable to get files from the SD card (even though it gets a notification that there is an SD card inserted), I am not able to open the SD card.

I also tried downloading an .apk file with Chrome and opening that, but it just shows some file "download" and doesn't show .apk extension and also doesn't open it properly.

So, radio is working, bluetooth audio working, in general android is working, but I have no navigation and cannot really use any features.

It is the head unit below. Based on the sellers website it should be a 7 inch with a Quad-Core Rockchip PX6 1.3 GHz Processor and 2GB RAM.

Listed as Android 11 but it says Android 10, version numbers below.

Google Services app is at version 11.9.51 and Google Play store is at 8.5.39.W-all [0] [PR]

So it is not really updating as well.

I guess my main target is to get Play Store and Google maps working again, then I can do the rest myself.

But it may be that is better to replace/upgrade it with something completely new/different? But I have no idea where to start.

I will easily follow some upgrade instructions, but I don't know where to get something.

I am not using any car related features at the moment, also no CAN bus. So I don't have any dependencies there.

Thanks in advance!

[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] T__K:
Greetings to you!

( After researching and finding out about possibilities of rooting or custom roms after unlocking, ) I obtained a Redmi 9T phone with the intention of unlocking it and using without a SIM card ( , with Wi-Fi network or offline ). However, it turned out that the unlocking process asks for mobile data connection.

What other options are there? Perhaps it's somehow possible to do something via Wi-Fi.

Would it be safe to borrow someone else's SIM card for the unlocking process? Or could there be any sorts of troubles? ( Personally, I don't have any phone with a SIM card with data connection. )

Thank you in advance!

Wishing the best.
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] qwertz512:
I dont think its possible to do it without mobile data, and you can't borrow a sim card from someone else because it needs to be the same sim card connected to your miui account. The best solution is that you just buy some mobile data for unlocking the bootloader so you dont get any errors
[XPERIA X8 General] Ulumia:
These instructions are for Windows and any Xperia smartphone

I only have X8 so I'm posting this on the X8 forum :)

We will need: unyaffs or ext2explore and of course Flashtool

Procedure:

1) open your ftf-file with an archiver

2) Take out our system.sin file.

3) Open flashtool

4) press Tools → SIN Editor

5) specify your system.sin including full path to the file

6) Click Extract Data.

7) wait

8) next to the file system.sin appears system.yaffs, system.yaffs2 or system.ext4 depending on the firmware.

If yaffs or yaffs2 file appears:

9) put next to system.yaffs 2 files from unyaffs.zip (cygwin1.dll and unyaffs.exe)

10) drag and drop system.yaffs or system.yaffs2 onto our unyaffs.exe

11) wait

12) next to our files unpacked partition system

if an ext4 file appears:

9) put next to system.ext4 file from ext2explore-2.2.71.zip

10) Run ext2explore.exe

11) Click File → Open Image and choose our ext4 file

12) Click Save button and it will unpack to whatever location you want.

I used this method to unpack ROMs for X8, X10 and Arc S and it worked
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryW99:
I only really use my Fire Stick for watching the odd video (streaming TV) and Internet Access mainly for keeping an eye on sports scores.

The problem I have is that I get to the correct webpage for the sports scores I want to monitor.

Then I leave it and come back say 30 Minutes later and often the Fire Stick has returned to the Front Page meaning I have to launch Silk again.

How can I prevent this from happening.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Maxxdoutebs:
About a month ago, a problem popped up where I have not been able to send MMS messages. Whether it is a picture or multiple recipient text (sent as MMS). I have tried every trouble shooting that there is:

New SIM

Reset Networks

NEW DEVICE

eSIM

The ironic thing is that when T-Mobile issued me a temporary NEW PHONE NUMBER, the problem was resolved. I am not willing to lose my phone number which I have had for 22 years.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried more than one Messages app to see whether you have success. If you haven't installed Google's Messages app, give that one a try.

I have tried several apps. What I am interested in is if there are settings that the phone company assigns to a "phone number" as opposed to a device. I took my sons SIM card and placed into my device and it worked fine.

Some Good Games Please!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone develop or find some games for the Touch HD that have good graphics and are actually a good game. Like that monkey game on the iPhone. That is 1 fun and good looking game.
[Touch HD General] nin2thevoid:
Everybody always wants monkey ball from the iPhone... Well the truth is games of that calibre are not just easily "developed"... it's a very high quality game that will require a *lot* of time for spare time unpaid developers to create.

The people on this forum invest a lot of time and energy already to even create proof of concepts, they got daytime jobs as well.

If anybody were to make such a game, make it a GOOD game that is, it would be a professional company, like the creators of Monkey Ball... Not many winmo phones got G-sensors and graphics accelerators, so it is not commercially attractive for companies to make games for it, simple.

However, the amount of GPU/G-sensor winmo phones is increasing exponentially so I would not be surprised to see such games appear in the near future.

Oh, and nothing about iPhone games is high res, it's the gameplay and graphics quality itself that is good. The res remains HVGA :)

I would like to see EA develop Spore for the HD in hi-res. Possibly a full version with the ability to sync with the PC version. But I would settle for a port of the iPhone Spore Origins.

So I was on my first break and was on spark os and decided "hey I wanna try android 13, lets flash the stock 12 software."

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
EDL mode won't help since we don't have the tools to work with EDL mode on this processor.

If you can't get your phone to a place where the computer will recognize it - if you can't use ADB and Fastboot on it, then it's likely that you'll have to send it to Google for repair.

[FYT Android Head Units] lr_man:
Hello guys. Is it possible to use various home launchers (like those from MarioDantas homepage - http://fytfactory.mariodantas.com/index.php) - for a Joying 11.6", 1920x1080 (uis7862 - 8GB ROM / 128GB Flash) - or do they specific need to be for a certain resolution? If not, can they be changed to fit - by an amateur like me ;-) - and will they be installed as an app (.apk)?

Thanks in advanceView attachment 5700143
[FYT Android Head Units] j-5:
yes you can.

I use AGAMA launcher in mine, but haven't looked at what's new in that space.

The launcher should auto-scale to the correct format regardless of your resolution.

You may need to tweak a settings file (???com.launcher.???) if the unit overrides your launcher.

link to thread
[FYT Android Head Units] lr_man:
Thanks, I'll have a look :)
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
The question was:

The answer to that question of @lr_man is NO, not by default!

The Agama and any other Play Store Launcher do. However, the "like those from MarioDantas" are FYT launchers.

Especially the older builtin FYT launchers are restricted to 1024x600 and 1280x720. All the launchers on Mario's page are FYT launchers.

You first have to look inside the apk to check whether it supports other resolutions. If so, then you're good.

The 2nd question "If not, can they be changed to fit - by an amateur like me".

First: I think there are hardly any professional Launcher programmers here ;), so your are among other amateurs.

Extending this is a really time consuming task, and then you need to "system sign" it to make it work. That is not possible as FYT will definitely not give their signing keys away.

There are several firmwares especially for your 1920x1080. You better search there and then "simply" install one of those launchers on your unit.

Or, like said: check the internals of the apk to see if one of the launchers on Marios page supports your resolution. Or simply install and uninstall.
[FYT Android Head Units] j-5:
oh dang! missed that point, thanks for the education.

Would a dpi changer app help in the use of off-resolution launchers?
[FYT Android Head Units] Renate:
And what's so bad about that? I write my own launchers.

There's no particular reason that a launcher has to be system-signed.

In worst case you can go for the "nuclear option" and resign your whole system.

AOSP launchers calculate the grid based on the actual window.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Nothing. I don't even understand why you even have the impresion it is bad.
[FYT Android Head Units] lr_man:
Thanks for the answers :)
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
That is not the case with the FYT builds.

There are 2 central system apks that check every other FYT app for the right signature and there is a hardcoded key "somewhere" that checks which key has been used. And they recently "improved" that even further by building another check to check if the kernel.zip is signed with an official key instead of a test key. So that option for modders is also gone.

Both on 4pda and on this forum there are many who already tried to resign signle apks, partition zips, whole zips, whole systems, and other "desperate" options (I was one of them). FYT block everything that makes Android an open system. And recompiling doesn't work as they use closed-source drivers for their hardware (instead of using the Android Automotive HAL). Already several attempts have tried for legal tries where they have to share the source code when they adapt GPL-3 and other code. That simply doesn't work in China.

And with regard to "There's no particular reason that a launcher has to be system-signed".

I mentioned that for all those Play Store Launchers. And the FYT launchers from Mario Dantas' website ARE FYT launchers and therefore have the correct system signing.
[FYT Android Head Units] Renate:
Well, then somebody clearly has to work on modding/deleting the OEM code that does silly checking.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Has already been tried and is also blocked by the flashing binary (there is no flashable recovery partition for this unit. It is a closed source recovery only working with their flashing binary).

And they use dynamic partitions which means you completely reflash the unit as well due to this special recovery partition. Many people have already worked on this since 2016. I am not a good programmer, but there were some programmers that completely wrote a new system for some other Rockchip unions and then I mean from scratch. Not simple modding.

It is easy to say from a distance if you have not spent years on these units.
[Xiaomi Redmi S2 Questions & Answers] wenyendev:
Dear all,

Given that there is no official TWRP file for Redmi S2 / Y2 - https://twrp.me/Devices/Xiaomi/,

I found the thread on the forum - https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-to-flash-twrp-unofficial-and-root-redmi-y2-s2-ysl.3854906/, on how to "Flash TWRP (Unofficial) and Root Redmi Y2/S2";

but in either of the two cases, apparently among the replies, there were fewer success stories than incurred problems.

Where could be found the proper TWRP file to root Redmi S2 / Y2?

Or is there indeed some way to root Redmi S2 / Y2 without TWRP file?

Hi,

I want to flash TRWP onto my REDMI 8. However, as soon as I boot into fastboot, adb shell can't find my device anymore.

I've tried everything, installing new Fastboot drivers in Device Manager, new USB cable, other USB port, nothing works. ADB finds my phone in normal mode, but not in fastboot mode:
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] CustomOShacks:
Try waiting a little longer for it to register your device also make sure that usb debugging is on and that all the latest drivers for your phone are installed on your pc

if that also fails, try clockwork mod (cwm) universal adb drivers. worked for me for all these years including this phone

also, there are still plenty of roms available iirc, in case they dont show up for olive, you might be able to try mi439
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] Renate:
Since you're in Windows, when you plug it in it might/should "bong".

Then you have to find out what is there and whether it has a driver.

ADB and fastboot are usually mutually exclusive.

You might try looking deeper with UsbView.exe https://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm#MicrosoftUSBView

Or you could look in Device Manager C:\>devmgmt.msc

Or you could shell out >$1000 for a hardware USB protocol analyzer. :p

I got it to work now, thx. Starting from ADB into Fastboot didn't work, but manually booting into FB and the installing twrp did the trick.
