OK, well, I can't say that I know a lot more now than when I started this thread.

What I can say is that the device seems to work with a

copy

of the database in RAM or else keeps variables in RAM that are not written to the database until much, much later (like during or after a nap).

I began to think about how I use the device vs. how B&N intended it to be used so I made a few tests going from the B&N Home to the Library, to a book. Then, there is really only one way to get out of the book and that is through the QuickNav buttons. I thought that maybe the trigger to the database update was somewhere in there, but I saw the same inconsistent results and delayed updating of the file as with my own sequence.

This is why I eventually abandoned the database as a source of info for my SetCover app and started relying (at least partly) on my own data. All I can say for "sure" at this point is that a good nap on the open book seems to aid in the correct information making its way into the database. Not very technical, I know.

If you are getting really spurious behavior from your lastreadingpoint.db or you find that it is full of deadwood, you can clean out the entire thing as here. Of course you will lose absolutely everything in the database if you do that, so it's a "last gasp" scenario.

For me, things seem to have calmed down if I just leave an epub open in the stock reader for awhile. And after all, what's the rush to get back to the home screen? (in general). That's not how the reader was probably meant to be used.
[Nook Touch General] aiamuzz:
Can you run this test ?

1. Open stock library.

2. Search for some book that is buried in the last pages of the Library.

3. Open that book from the search results.

4. Flip a few pages to emulate that you've read that book.

Ideally that book should be the Last Read (Reading Now) ... WHICH INDEED DOES WORK SO !!!

Having been a recent book that one has read ...

The Library app should also show that book on the very first page as its the most recent one ... BUT IT DOES NOT SHOW SO IN THE LIBRARY !!!

I would really like the searched and opened books to move to the front pages of the Library App and stay there and get moved down as and when other books are opened ... at worst it should be easily locatable in the first few pages of the Library App ... the 'recent' book sorting option in the Library and the place where this info is stored may have to be trouble shot ...
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Well, there you are. I've never used the "search" function on the NST for anything! But I did, just to humor you, and I see that it actually turns up a "hit".

I use the Library almost exclusively in shelf format. What I personally would like is for the @%W$#% Library to remember that. Of course, it will not, because then I would not see all the nifty new books I just purchased (NOT) from B&N as they are delivered.

Any "adjustments" to the Library behavior are beyond my pay grade and you won't get you-know-who interested in that either, as she has her own Library app. I've looked at a lot of Library alternatives. There were many promising looking ones in the early days but all seem to have been abandoned at some incomplete point by their developers (except for the one mentioned above).

I just live with it. I don't have hundreds of books on my device. When I finish a book I actually delete it (gasp!) [except for something like the Bible].

But it would be nice to understand the rules or thinking behind the "reading now" business. However, since the database doesn't seem to accept input (although you can read from it), it doesn't matter much I guess.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Just a quick update to this whole sorry mess.

Regardless of the source of the problem, I have discovered two ways to avoid it. The first, not so great, is to reboot after selecting a new book but before returning to it via the "reading now" button.

The second, much better, is to kill com.bn.nook.reader.activities before returning to the book via the "reading now" button (the first time only). I've tested this repeatedly with a device that was acting up horribly on its own, then wrote a little Tasker routine to find the pid and kill the process. This worked every time.

So for me, the solution is to insert this action before the sending of the intent to open to the last reading point, with a flag to execute only on the first instance of return to the book. Since I use an app (NST UI) to replace the normal "reading now" button, this should be relatively straightforward.

Solved!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
"Search" is probably giving you a different path than selecting it other ways.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I've never ever used "Search" on the NST. I just don't keep that many books on the device.

What I am referring to is the hard-coded broadcast associated with the "reading now" button in the status bar. I suspect that by skipping the B&N Home screen after exiting the Reader (returning instead to a third-party launcher), things that would normally happen don't. Thus when I want to return to the book I'm reading, I sometimes get a previous book. Since I don't keep read books on the device after I'm done with them, this is mainly a problem associated with large volumes (like the Quran, which I'm struggling though currently) that I return to from time to time when I need a break or only read in shorter stints before choosing something else for a break.

So the continuing existence of the large book on the device seems to lead to the misdirection of the "reading now" button. What is the problem there is not clear. I'm seeing now that even my killing of com.bn.reader.nook.reader.activities is not 100% effective. Only a reboot after choosing a new book is.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpreen:
Running windows 10

Installed ADB & Fastboot V1.4.3

Android Nexus 7 2012 with Lineage 14.1 installed

Problems.

Cannot reboot into TWRP (Seems like I didn’t install it! Must have done though to have installed 14.1?)

Cannot reboot into any form of Recovery

When attempting to get into recovery I only get:- Start or Restart Bootloader or Recovery Mode & Power Off

Cannot do a “Factory Rest” in Settings when selected. It just returns to state when asked to do the reset! Nothing Changes!

If Recovery Mode is selected it only flashes it off then on again. Nothing happens!

ADB & Fastboot are not finding my Nexus 7 2012.

Intentions:

To upgrade to Lineage 15.1 & to use Nexus 7 2012 solely for Google Home app. Need to upgrade from 14.1 to 15.1 as the bare minimum for Google Home to work

Nexus 7 is fully functional (albeit SLOW) excepting it will not “Factory Reset”

Any help will be gratefully appreciated please.

No old school Nexus 7 boffins around anymore? Really could use some help to resolve my problem please folks.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
After I upgraded to the 13 beta, all was well but I'd somehow lost a bunch of my sensors.

Proximity, brightness and compass.

Have already gone back to 12 but the issue remained.

On the 8 pro this was a fault with the persist partion usually affecting the fingerprint sensor, but in my case it's just fine..

There is still a fix for the persist partion on the 8 pro but I haven't gone through it yet, has anyone had a similar issue? So far as I can tell us just me.

*#899# manual test simply shows that the sensors are absent.

Any ideas?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] blackhawk:
If Developer options is on, try toggling off.

Clear the system cache if that's an option.

Hard reboot.

Factory reset, if that doesn't get reflash 12 again is my guess. Might be something in the HAL interface.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Since the rollback (which would have wiped everything anyway,, I've already factory wiped a few times and formatted the device.. I'm not sure if wiping the cache would do anything additional.

But can try
[OnePlus 10 Pro] blackhawk:
Then that seems pointless. Try in safe mode.

Try the hard reboot (simulates pulling the battery) if you haven't already.

Maybe the flash or the rom were corrupted.

Check cables and PC (check Event Viewer for errors during the flash).

Guess a hardware failure is possible especially since it did it with 2 roms now. Two different corrupted flashes seem unlikely especially with the same hardware issue. My knowledge with flashing Androids and OP are very limited so maybe there's a trick to this...
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
I think it's murdered the persist partition...

So all these parts of the phone that are governed by it are dead.

Have already booted in safe mode
[OnePlus 10 Pro] blackhawk:
I read a bit about it. Same symptoms as you're having. Guess you didn't save a backup copy of that file?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
According to the threads I've read you don't need to.

Check out the 8 pro threads
[OnePlus 10 Pro] blackhawk:
So it rebuilds itself?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Yep kind of.

[OnePlus 10 Pro] blackhawk:
Seems they're more concerned with the finger print sensor. That won't fix the other sensors.

Or am I missing something?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] the_rooter:
I am curious I know on latest pixel u can't do this but Samsung u can. Is there a way to clear the system cache( I think that's it)? I think at the boot logo u press power up and down together and then go to cache and wipe. I know previous OnePlus phone did , haven't had a chance to do so on this phone. Maybe that might help? Idk just thinking outloud I guess
[OnePlus 10 Pro] blackhawk:
On Samsung's it's on the boot menu. No idea why or how Pixel's manage without it?

Regardless it isn't the source of this issue.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Not totally sure.. I'll ask them..I think they're all housed there, I don't want to mess up fingerprint too
[OnePlus 10 Pro] blackhawk:
My point was they are preoccupied with fingerprints. It seems you need this file with its default settings intact.

Lol, I don't even know if my fingerprint sensors work, never tried them.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Catmobile:
In advanced settings then Labs you find several methods to make applications go into popup mode.

Like sliding from topleft or top-right or by a handle.

If I use these functions to make youtube go to popup the player almost always displays a black video screen in the popup window.

I have youtube premium and the newpipe Like mode does work but I want the full app of youtube in popup.

Sadly 😥 video in popup gets black but audio continues.

Workaround is going to recent applications overview and while youtube is paused select popup.

I found others that observed this long ago reported bug.
[Google Pixel 6a] bigk1972:
[UPDATE] so all of the previous commands were to enable the DM port for qualcomm-based modems but this is the Samsung 5123b modem and I don't know that these commands will work. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Like several others I have a Pixel 6a that is fully rooted with SD2A.220601.003.B1 I can do adb shell with the reset and setprop commands but the modem and com ports don't appear. The commands fail on the diag_mdlog with the inaccessable error.

[Google Pixel 6a] bigk1972:
I have set the bootmode to usbradio but I still don't see a COM port exposed...
[Google Pixel 6a] tauio111:
It is different on Googles Exynos(Tensor) phones:

resetprop ro.bootmode usbradio

resetprop ro.build.type userdebug

setprop sys.usb.config rndis,acm,dm,adb

setprop persist.vendor.usb.usbradio.config dm

Install and run https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qtrun.QuickTest&hl=en&gl=US

then exit it

I think the socket is not accessible by default but NSG opens it up (and leaves it open after exiting) so ShannonDM can access it

After that try connecting two times to shannon DM, it should report a failure to connect at first and a version mismatch on the second try but it should work - atleast on the Pixel 7. You can then access the Hidden Menu (there is not much useful in there) and look at the UE <-> Network messaging.

I can't seem to send AT commands to the phone however.

What is your usecase for the dm port?
[Google Pixel 6a] Aqq123:
Apologies for hijacking the thread with a brief OT but would there be any interest in having a Google Tensor Cross-Device forum? A lot of stuff is common between the 5 devices so far (6/6a/6 Pro/7/7 Pro) and likely also with the upcoming 3 (Tangor, the tablet; Felix, the foldable; and Lynx, probably the 7a).

This way what applies in general to all Tensor devices would be in one place, and easier to find. So far a lot of useful information is duplicated in each device's forum but with discussion happening in multiple places it's easy for some important parts to be overlooked.

There's the precedent with similar forums for Android One and Sony:

https://xdaforums.com/c/oem-cross-device-development.2521/

(Not that I have any power to decide it but with community interest, we could make a suggestion to the moderators.)
[Google Pixel 6a] Daniyal48:
How can I access the hidden menu?

Is there any tool available which can do debugging and programming on Pixel (with Tensors). I use QPST tools till Pixel 5.

As Pixel 6 and above are detected as Samsung devices so Samsung tools technically should work with them but I don't know any QPST and QFIL like tool for samsung
[Google Pixel 6a] craxiom:
Does anyone know what the diag monitor port path is for the Pixel 6 (or any Exynos modem based device)? For previous pixels with Qualcomm chipsets the port had a path of `/dev/diag`, so you could interact with it directly there. I can't seem to figure out what it is for the Pixel 6.
[Redmi Note 9T] chaoscreater:
Hi,

On A12, Google changed the quick style notification toggles and this takes up a lot of unnecessary space and I personally hate this. The old notification style allows you to see much more toggles.

My question is, does MIUI13 A12 have an option to revert to the old notification style? At the moment on A11, you can choose to use the new style or the old style in the built-in MIUI settings. I don't know if this is removed in MIUI13 or not and I don't want to waste the time to upgrade just to find out.

If it supports switching to the old style on MIUI13, then that's great, as there's finally a OFox that can support storage decryption on A12.
[Redmi Note 9T] Rubz_Mod:
Hi,

I am attaching some screenshots and hope that they answer your question.

They are from the MIUI 13 notification style. Small bug when pulling down in landscape mode, only half the screen is utilized.
[Redmi Note 9T] chaoscreater:
Perfect, that's what I needed.

How is MIUI 13 so far, especially the battery life?
[Redmi Note 9T] Rubz_Mod:
I have noticed quite a significant amount of battery loss compared to 12 and the dark mode isn't the same (not as efficient at dimming). The minimum brightness is also higher for some random reason. Nothing I can't live with but it would have been good if I knew this before updating.

[General Topics] goodwill1:
As a budget phone owner who’s not looking to spend more than $300 (or $400 at most) on a new device, it was with great interest that I saw the recent release of the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G. It has good specs for its price and it seems like it would be a very decent phone all around. So it was with great dismay that I noticed the overall size of the phone... 6.5 inches from top to bottom. Once again...

Is it just me, or is there a significant group of phone owners out there who want phones that actually fit into smaller pockets, don't fatigue the hands, and can be used with one hand when needed? I want a phone, not a tablet or a “phablet”!

When it comes to its S-series, Samsung releases a small version each year, along with a bigger sized “Pro” version, and an even bigger “Ultra” version. But when it comes to the A-series phones, almost every single one of them is bigger than the S22 Ultra! In the recent American A-series model lineup, this applies to the A02s, A03s, A12, A13 5G, A23 5G, A32 5G, and A42 5G, with only the A52 5G and A53 5G being slightly smaller at 6.3 inches. And the S21 FE is only slightly cheaper than the S22. Way above a budget price.

I can’t be the only one who wishes that there were some A-series budget phones whose sizes were similar to the 5.75 inch Galaxy S22, or at least under 6 inches from top to bottom. I was even considering the (6 inch) Pixel 6a until seeing the many reports of its overheating and network connectivity drop issues.

Just as a practical example, Samsung can make a Galaxy "A23s" 5G which can have the same Snapdragon 695 chip as the regular A23 5G. Just the overall phone size (and battery if necessary) will be smaller.

-----

In light of the above, I call on anyone who would also like such phones to call Samsung’s sales department at 1-855-726-8721 and politely request that they start making such devices, and explain that they will attract many compact phone buyers who can’t afford to shell out $700 or $800, but would be very interested in getting a Samsung A-series phone if only there were smaller options available, just like there is in the S-series.

If Samsung sees that there’s a big enough demand for it, they will start producing such phones so as to reap the earnings from this new customer base!

Please share this page and spread the word far and wide, so that we can get as many people as possible to effectuate this change!

P.S. Leave a comment with any additional ideas that you think may help the cause.

You can't use Kali NetHunter (not a supported device) and you can't use Termux as a persistent back-end anymore (Newer versions of Android will auto-kill Termux process when it thinks it's idle). See prior discussion here since you didn't search before you posted basically duplicate thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/termux-linux-with-graphics-working.4441645/#post-86868307

Instead, root your tablet, then install Linux Deploy ( https://github.com/meefik/linuxdeploy ) . Once you're in Linux Deploy you can install full (ARM binaries) Kali Linux, which is better than NetHunter in most regards anyway.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] gebxda:
[RANT / Question]

I simply can't believe that there is no PERMANENT SETTING to disable bluetooth discovery in my TCL Android TV (with version 11 right now).

If there is already a solution in the forums, I didn't find it, so sorry in advance and point me to the thread, please.

Do anyone know a way to PERMANENTLY DISABLE bluetooth discovery? With ADB or something?

(for example on my grandma's TCL TV too, that she won't use any bluetooth device apart from the remote, so she doesn't need her TV to be available for pairing constantly and receiving requests from neighbors).

Bluetooth discovery "enables itself" from time to time no matter what you do.

I already know "Bluetooth Discovery Disabler" app, but it's no permanent solution

.

It's infuriating, at least for me. :mad:

Sorry for the rant. Thanks for any help.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: News about this. First, there is a new app called ADBTV, that is AWESOME and makes it easier to use ADB on AndroidTV. You should visit the post about the app and we should thank and support the dev. Second, in the TVs I need Bluetooth support, there isn't a permanent option yet if your Android TV version has BT activation and "discovery" separated. However, if you don't use BT, you can PERMANENTLY (in a reversible way) disable BT altogether by disabling (preferably against uninstalling), some apps regarding BT. I tried this in my grandmother's TV, and now BT isn't a problem anymore.
