Hello. I have a problem with my Xiaomi Poco M4 Pro 5G.

1. The problem is that the sound from the bottom speaker is louder than from the top speaker (when playing media). However, if you turn on the FM radio and play through the speakers, the sound is the same from both speakers. How to fix this problem and equalize the sound from external speakers?

2. The second problem is the FM radio. When playing through wired headphones, the radio may turn itself off and on by itself. The application and the FM radio service have all permissions. It looks like the application is hanging.

I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to fix these 2 problems. Thanks to.

Hello everyone!

I would like to post my list of known custom ROMs for the Pixel 7 Pro, since there are apparently a lot of ROMs out in the wild that are not posted here on XDA.

I tried to do this once before, and the thread quickly devolved into people griping about policies on this forum. I must ask that you keep that sh*t to yourself and keep this thread on-topic.

Here is the list of ROMs that I am currently aware of:

GrapheneOS (does not pass standard SafetyNet tests while unlocked, even if it is not rooted)

CalyxOS (Can pass SafetyNet with kdrag0n's latest bypass; does not come with 32-bit support baked in contrary to what I've heard others say)

LineageOS (may be dead, OP has not updated since November 2022)

Corvus (my second-favorite custom ROM; on hiatus due to personal reasons from one of the main developers)

StagOS (currently my favorite custom ROM)

Please post any others that you're aware of! :D

Hello!

What is the best way for me to switch from lineageOS to another ROM?

Do I just flash my target OS on top(sailfish)?

Would greatly appreciate it if you could explain like I am a noob cake!

Elsewhere on the forum mentions that I must install to slot A but I am using slot b at the moment. Do I switch slots and simply flash sailfish, and perhaps format slot a? (noob)

kind regards
[Android Apps and Games] HotspotSwitchIp:
What is Hotspot Switch IP?

This is an app that allows you to change your public IP by turning on/off Airplane mode. Also, the application has a convenient web server, which allows you to check phone characteristics, IP address, battery level and even read incoming SMS from.

Features

The IP can be updated at any time by pressing a button on the PC through the web server or on the phone through the application

IP can be changed automatically after a specified period of time by configuring automatic IP rotation via web server or application. At the same time, you can set the period of time that will pass before the IP will definitely be unique.

The application does not requires Your device to be rooted to change the IP (the exception is devices with Android version below 6)

The user can control his device through the web server, read messages, check the charge level, turn on/off the hotspot

View mobile data charts through the app

The maximum speed is unlimited and depends only on the level of the mobile signal

How to use the application

Everything is as simple as possible.

Open the app and grant all necessary permissions.

Turn on Hotspot.

Put your phone in a place where the mobile Internet catches the best.

Connect to the access point through a PC.

Open a web server or pick up your phone and set up automatic IP rotation. The "Delay Fly" parameter is responsible for the amount of time your phone will be in "Airplane" mode; "Rotation" - this parameter corresponds to how long your IP will be changed; The "Unique IP" parameter is responsible for the time that have to be passed before the IP will definitely be unique.

Congrats! Now your IP will change regularly, after a certain period of time, and you can not be distracted from work. And if you need to update the IP right now, the "Update IP" button is available on the web server and in the application.

You can find a use case here:

You can find as on Play Store or just by clicking here!

[Android Head-Units] simonb123:
So, I've been struggling trying to connect my SPRD based to an obd2 reader for a while now. I've tried 5 different kinds, and through sheer luck searching old threads here, I found someone using a very specific ELM327 that has the PIC18F25K80 Chip. The head unit found the obd reader, but wouldn't connect to any app except one called metior, but it would only stay connected for about ten seconds. Then, I downloaded the elm327 test app, and after struggling a few times, it completed the test. After that, it somehow magically decided to stay connected, and reconnects when I click the button. I'm going to try deep obd as well, since it connects to my MHD ENET wifi reader, but not to torque.

[Google Pixel 7] mewcatchew:
This may already be well known, but if you have Google Fi or T-Mobile (MetroPCS, Mint, etc.} or any other MVNO of T-Mobile, you'll be stuck on November 2022 security patch: apparently Dec & Jan update screws up Google Fi and T-Mobile ESIM capabilities, and so they pulled the update. I use Mint mobile, so I searched around and found out all I had to do was slap in a non-Google Fi or T-Mobile SIM card (I used an old inactive Verizon SIM), and immediately when checking for an update after doing so I got the Dec/22, then Jan/23 updates. I don't use an ESIM, so it won't affect me. If you use an ESIM, do a little research before you try it because I don't know how it affects it.
[Google Pixel 7] manjaroid:
Nice trickery!

I'm a little confused about the general problem. Is the Pixel 7 delay about the same problem affecting Pixel 5 when switching between 4G and 5G? FWIW, instead of OTA push updates I just flash the latest firmware and with January's update I have no 4G/5G switching problems using a Mint SIM card.
[Google Pixel 7] mewcatchew:
It's affecting other Pixel models yes, and from what a read it has to do with ESIM compatibility with Google FI & T-Mobile and so they're holding back the update (the carriers are). I use an actual SIM and just wanted the update. I shut off 5G for better battery, just don't need it. I would've just flashed the update because it's slow OTA (or is it just the phone?), but I haven't bothered to find out how to do it. The 2 updates I got (Jan & Dec) took like 45 min each.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] algomedic:
I recently upgraded to the Note 20 Ultra 5G after about three years of the Note 8. After transferring everything to the new phone, the Note 8 would not turn on. Despite all the suggestions online about, the power button, Bixby button, volume down buttons, etc. the phone was dead. I took it to a local place that repairs phones and they replaced the battery and it turned on with no problem. I was using this phone for navigation while traveling and kept the battery charged. However, when I got home and didn't charge it for about a few days, it is doing the same thing where I cannot power it on. Plugging it into the charger does nothing. When I put it on a wireless charger, the light on the charger comes on for a bit and then fades out and so on but the phone does not show charging. I did find that even after the battery was replaced, the phone would lose a charge very fast even when the phone was off and I plugged it back in a day later (down 40% or more while it was off).

Any ideas what is going on? I don't want to have to replace the battery each time ($80 or so). The phone is still good as far as operating, just the battery and now not turning on is the problem now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Check ribbon cables and contacts.

Replace port pcb (they're cheap) with the correct one. There may be more than one variant... if you use the wrong one it will charge but with no phone or internet service.

If all that fails it's likely a mobo failure.

[Nothing Phone 1] kurumi59:
Hello to all,

I have a problem with my nothing phone. I try to update my phone to version 1.1.8 EEA having an EEA version. The local method keeps showing me error 20.

I have applied the tutorial to pass it via the recovery except that when I try to apply it, it tells me previous installation has failed and if I try to restart the phone, it might crash.

Not wanting to tempt the devil I still did a factory reset and restart the phone. Fortunately no problems but still in version 1.1.7.

I don't understand this error message. The last time I installed an upgrade was 1.1.7 hotfix and there was no problem installing it locally.

Is there any way to fix this error or should I just skip it and hope I don't brick it?

Thank you in advance for your answer
[Nothing Phone 1] panni:
I have the same issue. Not even the official system update OTA works. Installation failed.
[Nothing Phone 1] anuragsablia:
i have same issue but i solved it by doing

1. unlock bootloader install any custom rom for few minute than install any official version by flashing boot and vendor boot in fastboot mode and zip in adb sideload mode than reboot and again enter fastboot mode lock boot loader all ota updates will work without any issue

[Nothing Phone 1] panni:
Well, I'm on 1.1.7 and can't get to 1.1.8.

I'm guessing this is due to a changed boot image from the past. Would the factory reset even be necessary?

Shouldn't it be enough in my case to flash boot and vendor_boot from 1.1.7 EEA full image, to bring the signatures back to where the OTAs work?

Thanks!
[Nothing Phone 1] panni:
OK, I fixed it:

- put 1.1.7 full EEA in "ota" folder on phone (same version as I had before)

- restored boot images via magisk (I think I may have flashed a patched one before, so the hashes didn't match for 1.1.8 OTA; this step is probably not necessary when using full image)

- used local OTA method (*#*#682#*#*)

- rebooted

- installed 1.1.8 from system update

- profit
[Nothing Phone 1] paper88:
I have currently a patches boot img 1.1.7. I recovered the image over magisk uninstall already but cannot update over OTA, do you think your method is also working? Can you install the 1.1.7 even if you have 1.1.7 installed? Will the devices be resetted with your method?
[Nothing Phone 1] panni:
That was exactly my situation. Don't know if it works for you, but for me it worked. Lost no data (works the same as side loading).

Just make sure you use the right full image (EEA or global).

Afterwards upgrade to 1.1.8, reboot, extract the boot.img from the same full image you flashed, patch it with magisk, boot it via fastboot and install magisk directly. Don't flash the modified boot.
[Nothing Phone 1] paper88:
Did you update via OTA to 1.1.8 or from where you get the 1.1.8 boot.img?
[Nothing Phone 1] panni:
I updated via OTA to 1.1.8 and used the 1.1.7 boot.img to patch it and boot it (not flash it). 1.1.8 doesn't have an updated boot.img.
[Nothing Phone 1] paper88:
Alright, thats good. I thought 1.1.8 have its own boot.img. And I didn't found the Full ROM to extract it. But I install currently also the 1.1.7 again and will wait after the reboot
[Nothing Phone 1] paper88:
It worked! Thanks
[Nothing Phone 1] terppa1:
Hi all,

a little late to post on this topic, but If someone else has this same kind of problem trying to upgrade to 1.1.8 like I had. I have no root and bootloader is locked. I didn't want to try and extract boot images. All I did is I downloaded The full 1.1.7 OTA and installed it with the offline dialer installer. Next reboot I manage to install 1.1.8 through system update.

I also contacted Nothing support, but they didn't have nothing better answer to give me but to do a system reset.

Thanks for all the help!

I am trying to change saved WiFi networks on rooted Android 9 by updating file /data/misc/wifi/WifiConfigStore.xml. Right now, I am getting the following results:

Prepare WiFiConfigStore.xml with new WiFi networks on a computer

Disable WiFi on Android device

Push WiFiConfigStore.xml to Android device via ADB

Enable WiFi on Android device

Check Saved WiFi networks - Android doesn't display any network

Reboot the Android device

Check Saved WiFi networks - Android shows the networks from uploaded WiFiConfigStore.xml

Is there any way to let WiFi service know to reload WifiConfigStore.xml file without rebooting the entire device? I tried command "svc wifi disable; svc wifi enable", as well as killing all processes running under user "wifi", but that doesn't force Android to reload the config.

Which Oneplus mobile model is the easiest and simplest to root?
[General Questions and Answers] ezdiy:
Anything Mediatek launched on A11 honestly (Nord...) - because of mtkclient which makes it hassle free to flash/backup/unbrick/relock to stock etc. The only way to brick these damn things is by flashing (newer, often A12) bootloaders which disables mtkclient.

They do suck in terms of custom roms tho (most popular GSIs are optimized for qcom).
[General Questions and Answers] NeverG1veUp:
So I installed Kali NetHunter to use the Wifite command. Long story short, I find out that I need an external wifi card for programs like Wifite to ACTUALLY run, so I find a tutorial to use Wifite WITHOUT a WiFi card. I installed Hijacker and went through the initial setup process (installing Nexmon). But then, I realised that I can no longer connect to any WiFi networks, despite my phone detecting them. I figured it had to do something with my management utility path for the Nexmon installation not existing at all (the default was /product/bin, which does not exist for my phone). So I reinstalled it, only this time setting the path as /system/bin). Still, it didn’t work. I fugured it has to do something with the bcmdhd_sta.bin file inside of the WiFi folder (/system/vendor/etc/wifi). No luck deleting it (I used amaze file manager). Can anyone pls help me, I just want my phone back, preferably without a hard reset. The device chipset that the Nexmon installation window is showing is 4339a0.

[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] MrSzyma:
Thinking about getting a Mix Fold 2, but having watched reviews, there’s a couple things which make me unsure if I should get it.

Seems like there haven’t been any real changes to the UI since release (hopefully there’ll be some improvements with MIUI 14 official release?), but have there been any patches / improvements to thermal throttling / overheating, and any camera optimization?

Really loving the design, form factor etc. of the Mix Fold 2, but feel like it lacks behind on UI functions, and the general optimization. Or atleast it did in the reviews I’ve seen, but most of them are now 4-5 months old.

Thoughts?
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] Terminator-XX:
Hello, I have the phone since a few weeks. Started with MIUI13 and have received the update to MIUI14 1 week ago and to be honest, it was a very bad experience. There was really not a since noticable improvement from my opinion. I even worse, there are a few downsides which came along with the update.

I am now disappointed? No. If you really like foldable phones then this one is clearly the best.

The UI is so far okay and you can get around a few things by implementing here and there a workaround
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] ThatsJustLogic:
UI is the same as it was at launch and I dont see them changing it any time soon.

I havent had any issues with overheating or throttling to a noticeable point. Its not very hot where I live though...

Camera app has had a few updates iirc so there should be some general improvements but I havent taken comparison images or anything.

As for it lacking behind in features I havent noticed myself missing anything I would want to do. The chinese skin does have a few quirks I dont like though so im just waiting on kernel sources so I can port lineage or something else.

The phone is optimised very well imo. I can easily get 8-9 hours SOT even with all of my changes to run apps in the background and everything runs super smoothly
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] Terminator-XX:
Where are your concern? What do you expect?
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] MrSzyma:
Hardware wise hands down my favorite foldable. More concerned about software. Seen in a couple reviews that it can get hot enough gaming, for even short amounts of time, to where the app crashes / force quits. Feel like it’s lacking abit camera wise too. Feel like that sensor can do better, just that the software needs optimization, but as Thatsjustlogic says there have been updates, so hopefully it has gotten better since those reviews.

Also feel like pretty much all foldables other than Samsung don’t utilize the foldable functionality that well (lack of horizontal split for example).

Chinese rom worries / worried me too.

Don’t want to spend 1500$ to then have a phone that feels «unfinished» I guess?

Having read through the forums now tho seems like many of my worries can be solved with some modules.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] Terminator-XX:
The phone is "finished"

Here and there are "missing" features. For instance I had for years Samsung and Folds as well.

In the Samsung camera app, when you take a selfie, you can raise your hand as a gesture and this will create a screenshot. This is just not there on the Xiaomi phone app.

In general all words pretty stable but yes you will "find" here and there some annoying things but this really depends on your personal behavior. Everybody who have this phone have a small list of this which are not working as expected. And I would say nobody of us a just average phone users, we are power users and we have high expectations. BUT, what is the alternative? Samsung fold 4? For my opinion, this small form factor of the phone is a big boomer. This outer display always fell to narrow and it just does not feel good. So I have unfolded the Samsung for every tiny action I did and this was annoying too.😊

you should see tablet in windows explorer now.

if not, you can try adb instead (optional)

in windows device manager, find device with yellow triangle exclamation mark -> Properies -> Update Driver -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from the list of device drivers on my computer -> Show all devices -> Have Disk -> select *.inf file

https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows

(skip this if drivers are fine)

download platform tools and check 'adb devices' from C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe. if you can see tablet serialno, driver is ready for adb file transfer.

adb devices
