Hi

I have read in a article that the following manufacturers from China

TCL

Hisense

Xiaomi

are gaining more and more market share in SmartTV. I am looking for a new SmarTV (at the moment LG)

A quick web search revealed that they all use AndroidTV as their OS.

Do these manufacturers force me to have a Google account?
[Android TV General] Mary1989:
Which features?
[Android TV General] Deleted member 11959327:
Did you get tired of your nokia streaming box 8000?

Resistance is futile. All our arse and belong to google. There is no escape.

I'm glad that I created a few new google accounts on anonymous devices a few years ago. Now google doesn't allow account creation without a cell phone number, unless the account is being created on a smartphone.

Better to have one and not need it than to need one and not have it.

I've yet to meet anyone that can stay out of the grip of google services unless they are off-the-grid end timers.

How do you plan to use your new smart tv?
[Android TV General] siegie65:
Without a Goole account you cannot install apps from the Playstore, but there are also other stores for Android apps to download and install via USB stick, downloader and ADB sideload
[Android TV General] Deleted member 11959327:
I have one android tv device that has a throwaway google account (that is only used on this device).

I never use this device to watch anything. I just use it to download and install apps from the google playstore. Then, I pull the apks from that device and install them via adb on the android tv devices that I actually use.

All of the devices that I actually use never have had a google account associated with them, and have had google play services disabled (at root account level) from before they were ever connected to the internet.

hope i posted in the right forum..

hi guys! i need help fast. is there a way where i could transfer my data (contacts, messages, etc) from my xda atom to a windows mobile standard (non-touch screen) device?

if so, please tell me how. thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] eltipo:
i think you can try using ppim backup, set to backup, copy the files to the new device and set restore

another way is using outlook express, set the atom to sync with outlook and then set the other device to sync. that should work.
[General Questions and Answers] zeheres:
Yep, PIM Backup is one great tool. Try it!

Cheers

[Nothing Phone 1] ZwoelVi:
does anyone have experience with this app on android? I've read a lot about the fact that the app has become almost unusable after the new Android versions
[Nothing Phone 1] Pho3nX:
Greenify is useless from Android 10 with the Battery profil app-by-app.

Now you can choose Unrestricted (no optimization), Optimized (the standard), or Restricted (which restricts battery usage even when the app is running in the background).

So restricted is like Greenify process.
[Nothing Phone 1] onolox:
System apps dude, you can't restrict system apps...

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Genesis3:
All of them that I've tried, thus far.

You MAY NOT see this, by the way, depending on your access pattern, but it is DEFINITELY HAPPENING.

The problem is that its really, really ugly - your card's data is slowly being DESTROYED.

When it hits the "wrong" file, you will find out - the hard way.

This is NOT a "cooked ROM" problem - AT&T's base 6.1 load does the same thing (!)

The EASIEST way to find it is to use Advanced Config to move the IE cache to the card, then play a while. Suddenly the device will lock. You soft reset, and all "appears" well. Its not.

How do I know its damaging data? Because it has scrambled my TomTom map files "just enough" that TomTom comes up "No Maps" (!) - but the file names ARE THERE. The signatures are destroyed - it only takes ONE BYTE of change in the wrong place to do it.

Now what the ##$)! is PIE doing writing in that directory? Its not - on purpose.

The RSS reader will reliably do this too.

If you point them at main memory, no problems. Its SPECIFIC to the SD handler.

Its also SPECIFIC to 6.1 ROMs. 6.0 does NOT exhibit the problem, yet EVERY 6.1 load I've tried can be provoked into doing this.

The only fix is DON'T WRITE TO THE SD CARD via programs. Well.... that's not the WORST thing in the world on a Kaiser as it has a lot of internal memory, but....

Anyone know what the #@#$ is going on here - or have a fix for it?

PS: If you think you're not running into this, don't say I didn't warn you when you find one of your files destroyed without warning. I have run byte-wise compares of SD images and the corruption appears to be almost completely random. And yes, its across both SDHC and non-HC cards (2GB) - both are hit by it, and I've got three, all from different manufacturers. This is VERY reproducable and its not hardware either since 6.0 does NOT exhibit the problem.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DupinBJK:
Quite interesting... which rom build are you using ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Genesis3:
Have tried several - the most recent being the Hyperdragon 11/15 build.

The stock AT&T 6.1 build did the same thing as soon as I switched PIE's storage to the card. Its not instantaneous but if you browse for a significant length of time it WILL do it.

Flashed to 3.29 HardSPL to be able to load the various cooked ones here, all that I've tried so far do the same thing. Flash back to 6.0 AT&T, no problems.

VERY consistent.

I just put 3.28 HardSPL on to see if that changes anything. Can't imagine why it would, but....

Its pretty subtle if you don't browse heavily - if you get a "lockup" with PIE while its set to write to the card YOU ARE SCREWED. You may not know WHICH file got smashed but I guarantee one did. If it smashes the MFT then the fun really begins (the entire card's contents are gone), but I would prefer that to a RANDOM file getting destroyed!

I have run sector-by-sector compares and have found that where it "scribbles" when it happens appears to be completely random.

And again - 6.0 does NOT do it, and if you only READ from the card, its fine.

I suspect that its a "per-event" risk and so anything that runs from the card and writes data back there EVENTUALLY will screw you - its just a matter of time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] RizwanKhan:
thats why it is strongly recommended NOT TO store ie cache to storage card. Keep it on device memory. There is no fix for this problem yet except keeping ie cache on device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stmasi:
Sounds pretty easy to bypass the problem, eh? Don't store stuff to the card. No big deal. I mean, c'mon, it's not like we're going to run out of memory storing the IE cache on the device.

:)

Beside that, it must only be IE as I've always used the card to store my email and attachments and have never had a problem. However, I am using a 16GB card...perhaps that makes a difference. I've been running various 6.1 ROMs (including some questionable betas) for almost a year now and have experienced ZERO corruption. Also, if it makes a difference, I perform so much data transfer with my card on a weekly basis. Pretty much filling and emptying about every third day.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Genesis3:
It is NOT only IE.

The RSS reader that is in there (RSSHub) that HTC stuffed in the later roms does it too.

I managed to trigger it last night with RssHub; thinking IE was the only culprit cost me (another) reload of my SD card.

Be careful - if its per-event risk then ANYTHING you store on the card (e.g. pictures, etc) could cause it, and apps like TomTom that write places you set as destinations to as a cache can cause it too - its just that being data dependant the more often you write, the higher the risk.

BTW this is a 6.1 issue that does NOT affect the Wizard - I have had a custom (I cooked it) 6.1 ROM on my Wizard for six+ months without a single screwup. But I've yet to find a 6.1 ROM for the Kaiser that DOESN'T have this problem.

BTW, is there a 6.1 ROM around WITHOUT the new PIE? God I hate the new format on that thing...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Genesis3:
I have been beating on PIE stored on the card, plus RSS stored on the card now for over an hour - after loading HardSPL 3.28 (was running 3.29) and SO FAR I haven't had it happen.

Now this doesn't mean much, but that I got a solid couple of hours in without it blowing up - when I was pretty reliably able to do it previously - might be significant.

Or maybe not.

I'll run this way for a week or so and see if I can get it to misbehave.... I have card backups :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pazookie:
yah i have learnt to back up my sd all the time cause im CONSTANTLY getting corruption..but corruption i can see like messed uop names and folders which ive found more consistant when i have sd power settings set to enabled in advanced config..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] debully:
I have also witnessed RSSHub destroying my card several times

I remember this problem when WM5 came out on the Artemis. It was linked to the power state and the device going into sleep mode. It never occured when you used the power button, only when it went into automatic sleep. I think there are options in schaps advanced config regarding this - might be worth a try.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DupinBJK:
I mean CE build number and aku. We have now many available builds from which to choose, and we could investigate whether it's a problem related to an HTC driver alone or if there's something in the SYS services too which has to be patched. I'm not talking about workarounds at all.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Genesis3:
20931.1.5.0 (assuming the SYS and XIP were ported)

I don't have the numbers from the AT&T load handy.

Downgrading the SPL MAY have fixed it. I haven't had a lock/trash since last night when I changed the SPL. Hmmmm..... that "hotfix" may have been a "hotf$ck" instead.

Will update as/when I learn more.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] -888-:
This is NOT WM6.1 problem, if anything - it is WinMo's problem in general (all versions).

I have witnessed exactly same problem on WM 2003, WM2003SE, WM5, WM6 and WM6.1 - and I bet its the same on WM2002 and WM2000 (I just never had any of those ancient devices).

Solution is very simple:

DO NOT move IE cache to SD card, that's all.

Unless you have to (i.e. my iPAQ 6515 have literally no space left on Main Storage and I have to use SD for IE cache etc) then simply make at least weekly backups of your SD on your PC, its not a big deal, but it is annoying like hell (specially when it happens "on the road").
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AXP:
I have same problem several times!

Most offen it's happend in A***OS Smart Rom (don't remember full name), then i flash into wm6.1 off and it happends only one time. I use StorageTools to ix My Card after that (not data, only card)...

Is this heal????
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ai6908:
Just use Opera browser:D. I dont have that problem in my tilt, although i did had problem with hermes, and scan and fix errors for the card made it go away. And i also a 2GB card, maybe it is an issue with higher storage capacity cards.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mohsin_75:
hi there, i have similar problem with my vario 3, i have installed all my application on sd card including tomtom. I have about 500 mp3 and pictures. i can listen to music all day at work but when turn my tomtom on, it says no maps found and then everything disappears on the sd card. it still shows in memory status that i have used 70% of my sd card but it doesn't show anything in win explorer.

i think it might have caused by installing tomtom on sd card.

can anyone help please?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] joaoortiga:
To recover that files you can use de windows tool error checking that will recover your files but to the found.000 folder (hidden), but the files are useless because is will be on the wrong extension and name

you have now 2 solutions:

1 - is guest the extension of that files and rename it

or

2- use the program named "getbackdata for fat" and it will correct the name and the file extension but not the correct name of the folder where it was. but better than nothing. :)

hope i could help
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bsw11:
I saw this many times with RSSHUB - finally moved to main mem and have not seen it since. I also don't use PIE. It will be interesting to see if its 3.59 causing the issue, please keep us posted. I went a bought a new card thinking that it was a bad card: :-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Genesis3:
If you're running 3.29 get it off your device - in fact, there should be a WARNING on the page for the various HardSPL versions. This may be device version specific (are there multiple hardware versions of the Kaiser as there are with the MDA?) but on MINE, 3.29 does this repeatedly.

I have now been running 3.28 for a week with ALL power management enabled, RSSHub and PIE caching to the storage card, and all my user-loaded apps running from the storage card, and I have been intentionally pounding the everloving hell out of it to try to get it to misbehave.

ZERO ISSUES.

The ONLY thing I changed was the SPL. I didn't even reflash the ROM (just the SPL) when I changed it - just used Jump to get back into the "superCID" mode and flashed 3.29 down to 3.28.

If you're running something other than 3.28, try 3.28.

So far, one week in, it has completely fixed this problem on my Kaiser.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Silverexp:
Does this happen with both cmonex’s & jockeyw2001’s HardSPL 3.29?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Genesis3:
It happens with the ORIGINAL REAL 3.29 SPL that AT&T is shipping with their STOCK 6.1 ROMs!

That's not one of the hacked ones - that's OEM. I was able to REPEATEDLY lock the device and scramble the card by sticking PIE's cache on the card with the stock AT&T ROM.

I'm near 100% convinced its the 3.29 SPL that is FUBAR'd and not the hacking on it. I don't know why it should matter (its just a boot loader) but perhaps its doing something funky with the SD interface and whatever it does survives ROM initialization during the boot process.

In any event with 3.28 on my Kaiser I have had ZERO ISSUES with SD corruption or freezes of any kind, going on a week now. I've had no reason to reset it - at all - during that time.

I won't call this "conclusive" for another week or two, but given that with my usual usage I wouldn't survive ONE HOUR on 3.29, well, you tell me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mohsin_75:
......

hi there,

could you help me on how to chage SPL from 3.29 to 3.28??

thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mohsin_75:
hi,

i have installed 3.28 spl and copied all my files again and intalled tomtom as well. after using it for few hours, i captured a video file and saved on sd card. guess what? everything has vanished again...

so i'm sure it has nothing to do with spl 3.29

I love my vario 3 but this SD card problem is putting me off....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Genesis3:
Barf in that case...

I'm still ok. Been over a week now since I downgraded the SPL.

The symptom in my case was that it would smash something in my "north_america" directory (TomTom's NA map) and when I started TT it would immediately come back with "No Maps!" which, of course, make the app useless. I could pull the card, stuff it in my PC and run a CHKDSK on it - it was clean (!). Recopy the north_america directory, it works - for a while.

But since changing over the SPL it hasn't happened again.... so far....

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] htmn:
As you can see at the screenshot I made, at the top left of the screen there should be a date, but instead of the date itself all I can see is "Day/Month/Year" (only in hebrew ofc)

I was wondering how could I set the date as is should be, I've tryed several things on the options, also tryed to use TF3D Config as well, but no luck.

Just for the record, I am using Dutty's ROM v3.1 on radio 08.

Thanks for your time :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] htmn:
plz help, I got no other alternatives
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
how is the date set in tf3dconfig?

Try something like MMM d, yyyy
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] htmn:
I tryed many combinations of those dates and nothing worked, its just ignoring the changed im making on the tf3d config.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sunnyou:

[Touch HD General] Laurentius26:
Anyone noticed the same?

When I brows the storage card with Total Commander the files are read real slow by the system.

You can literly see them popup one by one!

I mean when opening a directory on Storage card I must wait a very long time untill all files are vissible!

My opinion is that this has something to do with the device freezes.

Please confirm if you have simular problem?

Thank you,

Leo
[Touch HD General] mallman:
i have never had this problem. You can look up the cab that speeds up your storage card and see if that fixes it. I saw it on here yesterday I believe.
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
I think there are three possibilities:

1) Your card is defective.

2) You did not format it with the correct parameter.

3) You have a defective reader in your device.

Do a benchmark using sktool to see if your read write speed is within the normal range.
[Touch HD General] Laurentius26:
Thank you,

It must be the storage card that came with the device.

Some files are inaccesable, also when I put it in my usb adapter my desktop doesn't read the storage card. :(

I lost a lot of data I think!

Maybe formatting the card will help.

Grtz,

Leo

Would be nice if it was possible to turn Wlan off automatically when the screen turns off, and after some time of inactivity.

Right now the Wlan comes on every time I turn on my Diamond from sleep, it is only possible to temporary turn it off when device is sleeping. But is there a way to turn it off completely, so I have to manually turn it on again?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] darkenergy:
its like that in default mode,.... wifi is halted when device goes to sleep mode

you need advanced config or diamond tweak to DISABLE this ( keep wifi enabled in sleep mode)

try that

I'm kind of new to all this, but I understand that the entire concept of a GSI is for it to be usable by everyone, exceptall the ones I've found like Broject Blaze are sorted by phone brands and mostly MIUI phones too.

I would love if I could get some guidelines for choosing them in the future and hopefully some recommendations too.

I use a Tecno pouvoir 3+ (Tecno LB8a)

I'd also love some custom ROMs too anyone knows of any so I could have choices

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
RyeBrye recently proved that multitouch is possible (though disabled) on the G1 and has created a short video using it in the fingerpaint app. He is working on other stuff, but it would be great if more ppl would work on this to get the wheels turning. Anyone who is interested should read his blog http://www.ryebrye.com/blog/
[G1 Android Development] persiansown:
AWESOME!!!
[G1 Android Development] RyeBrye:
Yeah, help would be appreciated

The proof of concept video uses an ugly hack to work around getting the events into the java framework properly - but with a little bit of work it should be possible to both get a functional stack built up, and also work on some patches to get proper multitouch into the android platform itself.

The multitouch being in android itself wouldn't benefit people who don't have hacked G1's - but being able to put stuff on the market that would make use of multitouch if it were available (and it woudl be on hacked G1's) would be nice.
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
First of all, I think hacks will come out soon for RC30+ devices just because there are a lot of ppl getting those now. Also I think that the more apps are "Multitouch only" the more ppl will beg for this feature. Im looking at it as "Build it and they will come" in reverse :) "Bring them and we will build it"
[Moto Edge 30 Pro] sainpiero:
For front - back cam and video there are a lot grains in the camera even after capturing it. For camera Gcam helped to solve this problem, but grains are there in Gcam videos too. Anyone have a solution to this problem?
[Moto Edge 30 Pro] vandal4e:
yes, a phone with proper Sony IMX sensor will solve all of them above
[Moto Edge 30 Pro] Dayuser:
Sensor alone does not solve anything. It's sensor+optimization that sensor. That OV50A sensor is very similar than IMX766 sensor and both sensors are pretty good... In different ways.
[Moto Edge 30 Pro] vandal4e:
as u see there is no development or interest in this device, so it won't ever get a mature GCAM port or optimizations, so unless you get Motorola a lot cheaper than the competition, Realme GT2/Pro have better cameras at same price point in my country, i'll wait till XIaomi 12T pro gets a mature GCAM port + config then i'm selling this mid-range nonsense with flagship processor

I rooted my phone and I'm using the performance governor that maxes out my cores. I also set my GPU to 3/4 Max frequency. I was playing Shadow of the Colossus on aethersx2 Playstation 2 emulator and my phone temperature got up to 83 Celsius. Does Android 11 still send a warning or automatically shut down the phone at these temperatures on a rooted phone? Because so far I have not received a warning.
