I assume there's enough loca in a kit to do two screens/phones then? In the single review on their website it looks like there are three tubes of loca in the pack.

I do not understand why they're marketing a "two pack" and it's really a 1½ pack. 🙄

Hi,

my problem depends on the calender of the homescreen von TF3D.

Yesterday it show a birthday (coorectly), but today the birthday is still shown, even it was yesterday. Is this a bug?

There are no appointsments/birthday fpr today and tomorroe, so what I expected was a blank calender.

Anyone an idea?

[Touch HD General] bos4xda:
...the calender updated at ca. 15:00 - I have no explanation therfore

...somebody else?

I understand that the P7P is supposed to have a brighter screen then my retired P6P. Yesterday, I had my P7P in the car holder on a sunny day. Even at 100% brightness with adaptive brightness turned off the screen was hard to see.

Anyone else having a problem seeing the screen when outside?

Do you have adaptive brightness on or off?

In Exkm, I see a display option for High Brightness Mode (HBM) which I will try the next time.

I understand at high brightness that power consumption is also very high.

Any thoughts on seeing the screen when outside on a sunny day?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] silverkin:
You have to turn it on, unless its max is only at 1000 nits, not 1500 like with Adaptive Brightness.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LaGinLiDaChuCh:
Turn the adaptive brightness on, you can get 1500nits brightness.

But it drains the battery really fast.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] hello00:
Just an FYI, you won't see 1,500 nits just by turning on the adaptive brightness on. Picture a screen with a white box in the middle and a black background.

Let's say that whitebox takes up 1% of the entire screen and black takes up 99%. The screen might boost that white box to 1500 nits (at maximum brightness slider). So it looks really bright.

Now let's say you expand that box and it takes up 20% of the screen and 80% is black. The screen is going to lower the brightness maybe down to 1000 nits.. even though the slider is still at 100%.

Then let's say you expand the box all the way, takes 100% of the screen, it's all white. The screen automatically lowers the brightness down to 800 nits, even though again the slider is at 100%.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] swieder711:
The main apps that I want to see during the day while driving are Maps and Waze. Light mode seems better than Dark mode, but it was still hard to see the maps even at 100% brightness.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] lassetth:
I use Velis Auto Brightness from PlayStore to care my screen brightness.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] swieder711:
Velis Auto Brightness looks interesting. Are you running it on the P7P?

Did you turn off the built in Adaptive brightness?

Can you use high brightness mode with Velis?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] lassetth:
Yes!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] CZ Eddie:
I would be absolutely shocked if Velis can engage "high brightness mode".

If you cannot engage "high brightness mode" by turning off auto-brightness and moving the slider bar all the way to the right, then Velis probably can't do it either.

"High brightness mode" is typically only available via stock Auto Brightness or via rooted options.

It only comes on under special circumstances and you cannot leave it at "high brightness mode" for as long as you want (without using root options).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] danw_oz:
That doesn't seem right, this screen is brighter than my pixel 6 pro at 100% and easier to read outside. HBM you mentioned doesn't seem to work with EXKM and HBM, or at least for me it doesn't, and have set all the permissions and given it root access. There is a difference but it is so tiny it might as well not be there, and my screen is 75% normal when testing.
[Fossil Q Founder] mattyyey:
Do not update your fossil watches to wear OS 3! I didn't think much of doing updates but it has ruined my watch. If you want a fit bit then do the update, otherwise stay well clear!

Here's the tale:

I recently got the latest Fitbit, after 24 hrs of use (and at work) I realised how completely useless it was for me. I like the idea of seeing my steps and heart rate, but ultimately it's a fitness tracker and had very limited Google support imho. I need to access Google assistant, music control, and reading my messages. It couldn't even control the volume 🤣 Very little more. So I get the fossil gen 6 in replacement.

Within 2 hours I knew this watch was x1000 better for me. I was even impressed that the assistant wasn't just a basic version, it had access to my smart home. Loved it.

So carelessly I let it do it's updates, thinking little of it.

Here what I lost and gained:

No Google Assistant Alexa only.

custom quick launch sucks, limited apps, lost top button to none existent assistant. [Edit]

Music controls do not seem to work correctly.

Certain watch faces have been removed like facer... Or at least it won't work for me...

The reading of notifications has changed more clumsy

Quick settings have more there but now is more fiddly.

With no assistant I can't set reminders, calendar events, control the smart home, can't access music or torch with 1 touch. Battery also seems to be draining FAST!

And a pet hate... The app interface won't change to dark mode.

what did I gain?

Slightly better looking interface.

Can access more watch settings on the phone via fossil app.

Much better presentation of health stats in the fossil app. Comparable to the fit bit. I can imagine it's much better as a fitness tracker. That's not what I wanted tho.... This does seem to come at a cost to battery.

So please heed my warning! If you don't want a Fitbit, don't update.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] doodles77:
Hi everyone,

I hope you can help with this problem.

I replaced my Moto G4 Plus battery last night and plugged it into the original Motorola charger (different USB cable). The white LED at the bottom of the phone blinks but the screen just flashes between a white lightening bolt icon, a black screen and the blue screen with the red Moto logo (the screen you get as if it is going to boot).

If I hold the power and volume down buttons together, I can get to the fastboot menu, which says "battery OK (charging)" in green letters, but choosing power down doesn't seem to work, and choosing recovery menu doesn't do anything either. At the bottom of the screen, it says "connect usb data cable" but I don't know what that means.

I've tried leaving it on the fastboot menu but eventually, after a few minutes, the phone screen just starts flashing as before.

I've tried plugging the phone into my laptop to charge instead and it just has the blinking white light without anything on the screen (screen is just black) but I can't get to the fastboot menu or anything. I left it plugged into my laptop overnight and this morning, it seemed to be on the cycle of flashing screens but went back to just a black screen with white blinking LED.

I've been googling for hours to try to find a solution but so far, haven't had any luck. I've tried using different chargers, different USB cables but still nothing.

I can't get the screen showing the battery percentage whatever I do.

So is the battery just dead - might the new battery be faulty?

As a potentially related issue - a few days ago, I took my phone to a local repair shop for the USB port to be replaced as I couldn't get the phone to charge at all. I collected the phone (which was now the dirtiest it had even been in it's life and had a small crack in the screen protector that had not been there previously) and it had been charged. When I dropped the phone off, I had mentioned I was concerned that the battery might be bulging but was told it was OK. After taking the phone home, the battery life remained poor so I googled whether it was possible to change the battery. After ordering a replacement battery and trying to fit it last night, I discovered that more than half of the screws holding the cover plate to the phone were missing, 2 of the remaining screws were the wrong type (philips instead of T3), the black cover was missing from the charging port/vibration motor, the copper tape was missing from the display connector and there was no longer any tape over the battery/battery connector wires.

Needless to say, I am not happy with the repair shop and at this point, I wish I had not bothered trying to fix my phone. All I wanted was to get it working again so I can use it to store my mp3s on and use it as a music player/emergency phone.

If anyone can offer some help, I'd be very grateful as I just don't know what to do now.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Go to the repair shop and get them to fix what they screwed up ie missing parts if you know they are responsible. Lean on them, at least get a refund.

Any battery swelling is a failure.

Stop beating a dead horse... at some point it's not worth throwing good money at it. Limited internal/expandable memory, ram and an LCD display all scream that it's upgrade time. Of course you could get the same model again as they are still available.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] doodles77:
Just back from spending over 2 hours at the repair shop. They don't know where the missing parts are and will "ring round" to try to find them. If they can't find them, they'll try to order replacements but I'm not holding my breath.

I have upgraded my phone but since my Moto G4 Plus phone was previously working well, I wanted to change its use from my primary phone to be a music player and emergency phone. So getting it fixed was much cheaper than buying a large capacity mp3 player.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Can't find the DAC that the 3.5mm jack uses, is a high resolution 24 bit output?

The bluetooth on it lacks high resolution codecs support.

256gb max SD card support which is enough space for mp3's but .wav or higher resolution is better. It's a shame you were forced into this position but $hit happens. Been there, done that and it does suck. Very time consuming even if you throw money at it.

Weight your options for a best outcome. Stand alone Mp3 player? Forget that as there are many capable Androids that can fill the roll in the $100-200 price range even less with 24 bit DACs and bt LDAC, Apt X, Apt X HD and SSC codec support.

You got a lot of research to do... as you have a lot of options. Then you need to decide what's best from you and gives the best bang for the buck.

My solution which is near perfect for me and serves as a media server was the Note 10+, a 1tb of V30 rated SD card, Buds+ and Poweramp as the player. I had other considerations as it serves as my primary phone and is used for all my internet activities. It supersedes my laptop now.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] doodles77:
Currently, I have a couple of old ipods but the memory on them is very small and I can't fit all my mp3s on them. I appreciate .wav files are better quality but I'm happy with my mp3s as they take up much less space!

Thanks for your suggestions on what to think about and for letting me know your setup.

I see what you're saying about my Moto G4 Plus and I don't doubt that most other people would be of the same opinion.

All I was trying to do was to give my beloved and well looked-after Moto a new life as a music player (which I need) and save some money into the bargain by investing a little in the project.

I'm really sad that it's now in the state it's in and am totally infuriated with the cowboys masquerading as a repair shop in my town. They failed to see that even if they give me a full refund, my phone is now missing parts that were all present and correct when I gave it to them in good faith to fix. Of course hindsight is a wonderful thing but I wish wish wish I hadn't crossed that threshold and trusted them.

Back to the problem at hand though - I've found other people's posts who seemed to have the same problem and I just think there surely must be a clever person out there who's fixed this or can explain what's going on.

Incidentally, I took the opportunity to ask the assistant in the repair shop about the battery - he took the phone to the corner of the room and plugged it into something that I couldn't see, then saidd the battery was ok. But after explaining what I ought to check (the battery connector) and then me opening the phone up myself to show him the connection (and point out the missing parts), he then said it could be a problem with the battery. So I took that to mean he hadn't a clue after all and given the poor service I had already had from them, it was as much as I expected.

Is this a personal pulled from tablet firmware ? Or did you locate a factory firmware pkg ?
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
This is Onn factory firmware. Fully stock.
[Android General] tek3195:
Ok, where did you get it ?
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
It's from Onn's software support server. This isn't a dump or a homemade package. The firmware is directly from Onn. Where I got it has no relevance to the firmware's origin. Even if I'd got the file at a firmware repo, this would not change anything.

For future reference, if a thread is titled with the term factory firmware, the package originated from the manufacturer. Otherwise, the firmware will be referenced as a partition dump, firmware pull, partition images, or another similar name. The fact that it's called factory firmware infers where the package came from.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Attitude is a good thing. It encourages people to read plain print, comprehend basic grammatical structure, etc As far as source, I share all of my sources. Check any of my dozens of device threads. I always specify the origin, build type, etc. As far as how I obtain factory images, that isn't the least bit relevant to the threads and, quite frankly -- and perhaps a bit attitude coated --it's not any of your business. Indeed, OTA packages and factory firmware images are not the same. You are correct, good sir. Sort of makes my point. That's why one is called OTA while the other is called factory firmware.

By the way, Onn factory firmware is all over the internet in various repos and sources. It isn't elusive by any means.

But yes, if it's called "FACTORY FIRMWARE," guess where it came from? Most members are fairly proficient with literacy and comprehension, so I'm sorry I didn't feel the need to spell that out for the other .48% of the collective member populace. Similarly, whenever I sell baseball cards on eBay, I don't emphasize that the players depicted on those cards actually play baseball. Common sense and the like. Something about the "BASEBALL CARDS" heading perhaps?

Here are a few strikingly similar analogues to emphasize the true wonder of names, headings and titles.

•From where does the Alaskan Husky originate?

•Which galactic star causes a sunburn?

•What makes ice water cold?

•For what weather conditions was a raincoat designed?

•For which food item was pancake syrup originally created?

•When was the War of 1812?
[Android General] tek3195:
I don't know what your problem is other than trying to be a smart a s s lacking any people skills. Why you can't provide a link is beyond me. I have installed board software and factory firmware on many devices and I have not seen factory firmware with so few files before. Provide link to official Onn firmware and stop being an a s s .
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Or, my personal favorite:

What mobile operating system platform has its basis on the Android Open Source Project? Has to be iOS; what do you think? Oh come on, I'm picking on you. Don't take it to heart.

So few files? Allwinner firmware, for instance, is released as a single image -- one .img file. With MediaTek based devices, there is no set amount of individual partition images required to constitute a complete firmware package. This is entirely up to the device manufacturer. Some device makers include all key partitions as well as all sensitive partitions -- essentially, a full partition index for the device. Manufacturers like Hyundai and Motorola are known for releasing robust firmware packages that include the full partition index of images. Other device makers like RCA -- and Onn -- release only the bare minimum of images needed to restore the device to its stock factory state. For this Surf 7 model, Onn has released images for /preloader, /lk1, /lk2, /trustzone1, /trustzone2, /dtbo, /recovery, /boot, /system, /vendor, /userdata, /logo, and /cache. Those images not included in the package are classified either as INVISIBLE or REGIONALBIN; as such, these are simply not needed for restoration purposes and, thus, this is undoubtedly why they were not included in the factory package.

Keep in mind that many images included in typical factory firmware archives are.simply not necessary for firmware restoration; indeed some files are used more for development purposes.

My advice to you, if you don't trust the integrity or legitimacy of a firmware package -- including this one -- don't use it. Get a firmware package elsewhere. I don't post links to channels. Do your own legwork and procure your own contacts with support departments at various manufacturers.
[Android General] tek3195:
You are right, I guess in my mind I was seeing board software from Huawei. I wasn't thinking about Amazon .bin file or Huawei update.app either. As for legwork it's been a while since I looked hard for Onn firmware. When I first posted how to root the 8" model I was sending email to the company that manufactured the tablet for Onn and searching board serial numbers looking for it. Wow, that's been about 3 years ago now, time flies and things change. That is why I was curious as to where it came from with hopes of finding 8" and 10" firmware. I only had the 7" long enough to root it, post how-to and return it. The other thing I quit searching for was info on MTK's ultraflash, back then it was non-existent. I appreciate the decent reply, thank you.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
No problem friend. Perhaps I came across as being abrasive on my replies to your inquiry. I'm sorry if that's the case. Questions like yours are welcome and the ensuing discussion can be informative to other members.

I will give you a good tip on procuring factory firmware: send a professionally worded email to the support department of the device manufacturer. Let them know you need the firmware as a means to restore your own device, as well as for potential custom development projects here at XDA. Most manufacturers know that XDA is the largest custom Android dev community on the planet. As such, they realize that XDA is a great platform for giving exposure to particular devices, which increases overall sales. Anyway, word your email to infer this scenario. Once you get a firmware package for a particular device, make efforts to thank and give credit to the support representative who helped you. Email the representative's supervisor to give positive feedback on the person. Oftentimes, that individual will then freely assist you with future firmware requests, requests for kernel source code, etc. You will progressively gain some valuable contacts among various manufacturers for obtaining factory images.
