Alright, I'm using that app https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-MWP/f/dl25/ recommended for the Pixel 6 Pro but I'm searching for settings that don't over sharpen the picture, something that the original app does and I don't like it (often when you zoom even just a bit, it's sometimes a contrast + sharpen ugliness). Does someone have a setting for me to share ? Thanks in advance !

[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] NotShadow:
I have an old Galaxy A71 (Model SM-A715F) that I dropped around about 6 months ago, to which the phone completely stopped working.

I am aware that AMOLED displays tend to die entirely if they are shattered, however the device itself (not just the display) is completely unresponsive.

It appears to take charge when connected to a portable charger (seen by the LEDs on the front of it illuminating whilst the phone is connected), however holding down the power button and/or volume buttons does not cause the boot vibration. And there is no visible feedback on the screen.

The phone is running completely stock firmware (Android 11, One UI 3.1(?), I think), which worked fine before I dropped it, so it cannot be incompatible/broken firmware.

I have replaced the charging port assembly, as I thought that may be the issue, however I fear that the device may be completely toast, which would suck because I wanted to retrieve any un-synced photos from it.

Any help on getting this device to boot for long enough to get any photos off will be GREATLY appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Any drop sufficiently hard enough to damage the display can damage the mobo. BGA chipsets are especially intolerant of board flexing and high G loading. Inspect for loose connectors and mobo damage. A recovery service may be able to savage the images. Personally I would write them off.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] NotShadow:
Yeah, it wasn't a "bad" fall, but it must have still been enough to damage it. But it's weird how the device warms up a little as if it's charging normally though, if the main mobo is broken.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Power section is probably intact. May just be a loose ribbon cable, that's common.

Always use a good case. My N10+ would have been KIA long ago if not for its Bolt case. It's always in it. It's a very slippery fish without it🤣
[Realme GT Neo 3] tigers2:
I use Magisk for rooting the phone, and it requires patching boot.img, which I obtained from the global ROM's zip file available here on XDA. It works fine, but I would prefer patching the current boot.img, keeping it up to date at the same time.

How to extract boot.img from the firmware without root and with the stock recovery only (fastboot is available)? Or is it possible to dump the whole firmware, and get boot.img from the dump?
[Realme GT Neo 3] TuLy2702:
I think not. But you can search for your machine's software updates in realme ui 4.0 downgrade program rom on that site official and extract payload.bin

2 days ago there was a small update. MIUI Global Stable 13.0.16. Now my phone is unusable. What should I do? I am very frustrated. I would have gone for custom rom if kernel was released. So, I am waiting. Meanwhile what should I do?

Can any one tell me if it's possible to update to Android version 12 using Global version?
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
What security patch was it , is June? I got a patch a few weeks back that updated me to August , and it's version 13.0.12 . Still no android 12 and I doubt we'll even see it this year now.

Anyway I'd do a hard reset and see how it goes

I've heard you can't use the new TomTom 7 on this device because it has no touchscreen.

Has anyone experience with navigation software on the Rose?

The servicedesk of Tomtom couldn't answer my question because they weren't familiar with this device yet.
[S740, S743 General] ombre33:
I'm using Copilot Live 7, works like a charm.
[S740, S743 General] omikr0n:
Well, technically you can use TomTom 7. You just have to use FakeCursor (or similar utility) to emulate screen taps. I have tried it and it works, but is not really usable.

So far I have also tried:

Garmin XT Mobile - does work, but I don't like the interface

Sygic McGuider - does work and I like it, use it and recommend it

TomTom 5.xx - does work, but has only older maps available
[S740, S743 General] rb14:
I tried TomTom 7 and it won't work because you need to be able to tap the screen. I didn't even know you can use a programme that emulates screen taps.

I'm off to bed!

Do not lose your time and use Sygic McGuider. It is best I can recommend for the smartphone.

I can confirm this, Mcguider is the best navigation software i have used thus far.

Its more accurate and faster than tomtom.

Its not free but tomtom is not as well.

Most probably yes.
[S740, S743 General] woffle99:
I have TomTom 6 running on the S740 and the program itself works fine. Inputting info can be a little bit of a challenge without a touchscreen, but left and right and enter work fine with the keyboard tucked away, and up and down and enter work with it slid out so with a bit of jiggering you can get it to do what you want. The keypad also works in the usual SMS entry fashion (e.g.2 = ABC2).

I found that doing the configuration with a remote control program like mymobiler on the PC saves a lot of time.

Can't seem to get SPHelper to work properly, either with Tomtom or a number of other programs on the phone. In TomTom the cursor leaves a lot of drag marks and won't click anything. Am I doing somethig wrong as others here seem to have it working OK, at least with TomTom 7? Any other fake cursor programs out there that may be worth trying?
[S740, S743 General] trickyhenry:
Copilot live 7 works and you can use on your own card. I have used a few sat nav programs and can assure you copilot 7 is good. It works on touch and non touch screen so its almost future proof for when you come to upgrade.

I used FakeCursor with TT7 on my Startrek (aka Smartflip, Qtek 8500 etc), it worked very well, although i also had some drag marks every now and then, but the clicking was good.

Google FakeCursor (over here or on the net) and you'll find it, i believe it's free. Be sure to put the file in the right place (Windows directory).

Good luck!

[S740, S743 General] joy.d:
the first time you must have free contact to air. the gps antenna is not really sensitive.

but at the first time it works not with my S740 too.. the problem was: I instaled the new google maps from http://google.com/gmm. After that (or after installing tomtom7) GPS is not receiving any GPS Satelite.

After a Hardreset of S740, installing Nav4all, and some Minutes into free air, it works very well :-)

[S740, S743 General] mercutio54:
Oh yes, at least it should be possible to check the installation process: they offer software updates at their homepage (have a look at the support/software updates section)
[S740, S743 General] 4omega:
Use McGuider. It runs very well on the Rose and is similar in the menus like TomTom but navigates much better. My recomendation.
[S740, S743 General] 4omega:
Take McGuider as navigation SW for the Rose. Works perfect and is very good and easy to use.
[S740, S743 General] mercutio54:
OK, in the meantime I played a little bit around with Route 66 and finally it works - I had to do a hardreset and install the newest version from their website.

The program looks nice and I like the Route 66 Sync-Software for desktop (firs impression after a few minutes...)

Yeah, I already realized that Rose+Mcguider seems to be a cool combination, but I need maps for Western Europe + North America - a big plus for Route 66

for tomtom7 u can use fake cursor or u can navigate around with navigational and ok keys i used to use tomtom on my old hermes whose touch screen was not working. It is bit tricky first but you will get use to it
[S740, S743 General] Surfboomerang:
Torrentulla,

how did you configure Fakecursor? I have a problem binding it to a hardwarebutton so I can't disable it anymore...

I had a S730 with fakecursor working... I activated and deactivated the fakecursor application by pressing the home button for a while. For this to work I had to make a shortcut in the \windows directory named Long_home.lnk pointing to the Fakecursor.exe

On the S740 I tried the same, but the phone doesn't do anything when I copied the Long_home.lnk file into the \windows folder and hold the Home button for a while
[S740, S743 General] torrentulla:
As I used it on hermes aka htc tytn not on rose but here are the steps i followed this way basically you will create shortcut yourself it is like installing a program manually.

1. connect your device via active sync in XP as with vista's mobile device center you don't have facility to create shortcuts so keep it simple i will tell you how its done in xp.

2. copy FakeCursor.exe where ever you want in your device storage card or device memory.

3. browse the folder in your device via activesync where u copied FakeCursor.exe then right click on it and create shortcut getrid of extra text with this shortcut ie "shortcut to FakeCursor.exe" make it look nice in your program files just keep FakeCursor.

4. cut this shortcut and paste it in \windows\startmenu\Programs folder.

5. now disconnect your device and on your device go to start setting buttons and define whatever button u want to assign this program.

thats it

Hope it helps

you can download it directly from Rose/S740 via:

Problem with maps

I have problem afer installing MCGuider. I Can install it and run it, but the only map i can see is McGuider 2009. I have downloaded a lot of diffrent maps that each contains two files. Example swe.cam and swe.pak. I have copied those two files to the folder \Mcguider 2009\Maps but i cant see any other maps than the default.

Anyone knowing what i'm doing wrong. Have also tried to copy the entire folder for each contry. eg. \Mcguider 2009\Maps\swe\ but nothing helps.

/StB
[S740, S743 General] peseta:
Hi msrtb,

Your question is not about the S740, but a specific McGuider question and can be found in manuals of McGuider.

However, as we're here to help each other:

Each map must be put in a separate subfolder of Maps (folder in the root of the storage card).

There also must be a .mlm file in the Maps folder, in which the countries you want to use each must be named.

Example of this text (for each country specific, in this case Belgium map version 2009.03 with speedcam info):

[BEL]provider=TA

mapRelease=2009.03

detail=full

speedcam=yes

Of course this is a bit of a bother if you regularly want to change maps.

There is a solution, which works for me: an universal .mlm file (in my case called World.mlm). When I add a new country map in the Maps folder (as described above), it's automatically recognised in McGuider.

The text in this .mlm file is:

[DEFAULT]

version=1.2

majorVersion=7

freeTmcs=10@1; 4@9; 6@1; 13@1; 1@1; 9@9; 14@17; 5@1; 8@17; 15@49; 14@33;

[WORLD]

provider=TA

mapRelease=2009.03

detail=full

7digitPostals=yes

tmc=yes

speedcam=yes

speedCamRelease=2009.03.05

[NAMERICA]

Sygic McGuider

I have tried many navigation softs on this phone. Sygic McGuider is a clear winner and is absolutely inexpensive. :)
[S740, S743 General] capinss:
Hi, guys.

I have HTC S740, i have put on the Sygic McGuider 7.7 at first time after loading the map it worked perfectly, found my position and planned a route for me absolutely with no problems.

So i come to my workplace the next day and start bragging about my new GPS and ... it failed :D The device just keeps looking for the GPS signal and its like finding and loosing the signal all the time.. tried turning off/on the GPS device in settings, recaptured the GPS baud rate by automatic detection, but with no success.. also triued reinstalling, but nothing...

Any advices? maybe the gps driver should be replaced or reinstalled... how do i do that?

Please be non-contentious, since Im a newbie in smart phone handling :)
[S740, S743 General] lelopet:
If I understood well, it behaves badly only on this particular place (worklplace). Please, be aware, that GPS depends on simultaneous visibility of at least 4 satellites which are more than 30.000 km from you and their signal has to be received by a thumb-long antenna.

Therefore it usually gets in troubles not just in buildings, but between them as well. They're enough surrounding mountains, close big metal objects, few skyscrapers, metal-coated windows (e.g. in train) - and reliability (if not functionality at all) is gone.

Try it again somewhere you can see as much free sky as possible. If there everything works fine, it's not about Rose, it's with high probability about NORMAL local failures.

Anyway, try to ask somebody with other GPS device (car navigation) if has similar troubles on site. In theory it could be a partial sensitivity issue of your particular device (antenna or what.).
[S740, S743 General] capinss:
Well, u see, i have put it on my colleagues phone also - Nokia N78 - it works fine for him. I went a few kilometers away in my car also - he's was working ok, with a little mismatches about moving speed, but mine was still searching for the signal, not finding it even for a second.
[S740, S743 General] lelopet:
Try to check settings of A-GPS (in Accessories). If it is set to manual and you have outdated data there it could be just trivial satellites-fix problem.

Otherwise my recommendation would be - try some different GPS software (NoniGPS Plot works fine on Rose) to identify, how much it is receiver or software dependent.
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
Stupid question...

I use Garmin mobile XT (mainly because it has good support for the maps of my country).

Do I have to turn the receiver on/off ?

Because when I load the application it always finds the satellites and I'm wondering if the receiver works all the time.

I know the question is a bit stupid but I'm not sure how the whole sat works in my Rose.
[S740, S743 General] lelopet:
GPS works similar to WiFi or Bluetooth - basic state is off. Otherwise your battery would go off in few hours. The module is activated automatically by applications. Quick fix is supported by A-GPS application, which weekly downloads a small file with actual satellites positions.
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
So I dont need to worry, when I start the application the GPS starts and when I exit it stops?

That's good

I use TomTom 7915(9196) version without fakecursor.

Works fine
[S740, S743 General] SMYKUL:
I don't suppose you could tell me how you got 7915(9196) to install? I've been trying for a while, the install just minimizes for me and if I press back it sticks with the wait cursor forever.

I'll give it one more go and then extract it with winrar and try to use the xml file to set it up manually, wish me luck :S
[S740, S743 General] Torque77:
Good luck mate. If you manage to install it, tell us how you did it!
[S740, S743 General] SMYKUL:
I managed to get it working, with great difficulty. I installed it manually, using winrar to extract the files and then the setup.xml as a guide to rename and copy them across.

The build is stable but the non-touch GUI is still very buggy, it seems tomtom are making a real effort to make their software useable on non-touchscreen devices. My biggest problem was that I couldn't select which country to use in the maps as the lists can't be navigated yet (Some menus are ok, you can use the number keys to tick boxes for entries etc; not all of them work. i.e. the menus are limited to 9 entries a screen with a number key for each entry.). I couldn't even use the list boxes with mymobiler, it seems the new GUI doesn't respond to touch at all apart from the soft key labels at the bottom. Eventually I installed the new build on my old phone (Touch Dual) and set it up, then copied across the cfg files from the program and map folder to my S740.

It's all working now, so I'm happy :)

In terms of performance, it's the best I've used so far. But they have to improve on map coverage.
