[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PlayU18:
Hi Guys. Sorry to post a new thread for this, but I didn't know where else to look for answers as I have already searched everywhere with no luck. I have an unlocked AT&T Tilt on the Cincinnati Bell (in Cincinnati, Ohio) network. No matter what I try, I cannot seem to get the internet working correctly on this phone. Cincinnati Bell does not carry the Tilt, so they will not help me. I have searched these forums and found Cincinnati Bell's web proxy settings and tried plugging the information in, but have not had luck. What is strange is that when I click Internet Explorer, it actually shows that it connects, but no web pages will open. If I touch the E at the top of the screen, it shows a web session open with a timer counting how long I have been connected, but still no web page access. If anybody has any suggestions, I would sure appreciate it. It seems like it would be something simple as I can see the connection timer, but I am lost as to what else to try.

* I will also be posting this question in general questions in hopes of getting an answer. I realize that double posting is frowned upon, but I am so frustrated with this that I am willing to try anything to find the answer. Thanks in advance to anyone that may be able to help.

[General Topics] Renate:
Many cheap, "stylish" products today have power or other LEDs of an absurd brightness. In 60 years of LED development the efficiency of LEDs has skyrocketed and product developers have run with it.

This is true of many devices found in your house, but I'm mainly talking about car radios and head units where the LED intensity is a big distraction during nighttime driving. I'm guessing that some higher-end units have settings to dim the front panel. Cheap stuff doesn't.

And by "cheap" I mean the Dual Electronics XDM17BT car radio (sold at Walmart for $25) and its predecessor, the XDM16BT. It's your basic cheap radio with Bluetooth, for those of us who mostly just play from our devices. The blue LEDs on the front panel are set to scorch your eyeballs.

The XDM17BT is a gutless wonder with only two inches of depth. The front panel is held on with four easily released tabs. You don't even need to disassemble it further. The blue LEDs are in seven pairs of LEDs in series. The voltage drop is 2.85V on a single LED, 5.7V on a pair, fed from a 9V supply through (7) 560 ohm resistors. This works out to about 5.5 mA current. For the LEDs I used 50 years ago that would be barely visible, now it's a painful brightness.

Your eye is an amazing sensor, it can work from sunlight to moonlight, a ratio of 400,000. So, when we knock down the brightness we don't want to fool around. Reducing the brightness by a factor of 10 is probably the least we want to do and 20 or 50 might suit some people.

I replaced (7) 560 ohm resistors with (7) 5600 ohm resistors. The original SMD resistors are 0603 (size) but you can sleeze in 0805. I left the original white LED for the LCD display as it was. I'll see how I like the unit as it is, I can always knock it down later.

Any idea whats wrong when most of basic programs are shown in 640x480 resolution instead of full 800x480 after installing Manila and some programs for it? After fres Manila instalation everything is fine, but when I install few more apps from Blackstone package, screen messes up and programs like system windows (programs, settings, file manager etc.) are not maximized and there is blank space in the lower part of screen.

Any ideas? Hate hard resets :(

EDIT: Found out solution - its caused by applying registry fix for not showing virtual keyboard (SIP) by default.

Yes, you are right...

...but why not trying to search yourself, using the MCU as it has been million times written in the forum.

Search for MCU 4.0

Just as message for you, that the Android version is fake.

It´s may be Android 8 or Android 9.

Upgrading means to upgrade the Android version... I would not even dream about that.

Updating the Android version within the current Android API version may be possible, but needs to be compatible with your MCU version.

Thank you for viewing this post!

My English is bad. If this post have any grammer error, I apologize.

Enviroment

Device: HUAWEI T8600

OS: Android 2.2

CPU: Marvell PXA920

Problems​

'/system/bin/sh' has been rename to 'sh_'

WIFI connect failed (stuck in 'get ip info' and then disconnected)

IMEI number lost

Root access lost

Cannot enter Recovery mode

Some app throw error

Cause & Trys​

I want to replace the origin 'sh' binary by 'bash' for more shell syntax & compatibility.

So I get the root access by SuperOneClick.

Then I run the following code:

adb shell
su
cd /system/bin
mv sh sh_
ping my_ip

I want to stop the Ping command, so I press Ctrl+C, at that time adb shell break.

(My origin purpose is to end the Ping command)

Then when I use 'adb shell' command, it returns '/system/bin/sh not found'.

I realize that I have done a big mistake, so I want use Terminal Emulator App for rename it back.

But it cannot be open. (show a line '/system/bin/sh not found' quickly and then quit)

Then I try Root Explorer, but it cannot be open. (it's shown that there has no Root access)

And my wifi cannot connet (stuck in get ip infomation).

I try restore factory settings & clear all user data, but it still seems useless.

I install Terminal Emulator again (use SD card), but it shows 'JNI init failed' and then quit.

After I do that, my imei number seems to be lost. (use *#06#, popup a white window)

And device cannot be detected by adb, Recovery mode cannot enter either.

I write a app to run 'echo hello,world' command, it's okay.

I write a app to run 'su' command, but it returns -1 and failed.

I searched web for a sulution, and then I found:

Similar Question: https://xdaforums.com/t/q-system-bin-sh-deleted-accidently.1134925/

I tried to replace my phone's rom by Factory Mode (use *#*#2846579*#*#) -> Update, but it popup that 'IMEI error, cannot update'.

The question metioned in that link not support my device.

Then I tried to exact Update.app using Update.app Exactor, but it said 'Invaild data'.

Some Resources​

It's all my mistake, I regret very much.

What should I do to save my device?
[General Questions and Answers] OldLiu001:
Thanks to reply

I tried to replace my phone's rom by Factory Mode (use *#*#2846579*#*#) -> Update, but it popup that 'IMEI error, cannot update'.

And I can't enter Recovery mode, I press keys but it soon started normally.

I search the web but found nothing about T8600 flash rom by usb.

And adb device & fastboot device can not detect my device now.

Is there other ways to flash that?
[General Questions and Answers] OldLiu001:
Thanks,

I searched web with ADB SIDELOAD.

It seems that I should enter TWRP.

But I have no TWRP installed.

Or it break when I restore factory settings, I don't sure. I press down key + Power, the android started normally.

Adb & fastboot cannot recognize my device now, so I can't flash a Recovery to my device.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] AndyCR:
I'm making a kind of music program mostly for entertainment value, using C# and OpenGL ES. I'm calling into Windows Media Player from my program.

I come from pre-existing 3D engines, so I'm just wondering what the best way to draw a pixel-precise image to the screen in OpenGL is - IE if I have a 64x64 bitmap and place it at 0, 0, I expect it to go from 0, 0 to 63, 63 and that's it. This way I can detect when the image has been touched - thus a bitmap button.

I tried using GDI, but it flickered terribly with the OpenGL rendering, even after placing the draw call after the OpenGL rendering was complete.

Does anyone have any pointers for me? Thanks in advance and thanks to the community for everything.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] gloom:
If it's a 64x64 bitmap and it starts at 0,0, I would rather expect it to go to 63x63 otherwise buffer should represent a bitmap of 65x65, isn't it ?

It's like a byte, can have 256 values from 0 to 255
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] AndyCR:
You caught me. :) I'll edit it to reflect that. (I thought it looked wrong, but decided not to change it.)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] NuShrike:
DrawTexOES(). You can look it up against the Khronos OpenGL ES docs, and my KaiserGL SDK in the Kaiser software thread.

Don't mix GDI with OpenGL ES.
[Google Pixel 6a] rhhd:
Hi everyone!

Just purchased a P6a during Black Friday. In general I am quite happy with the device and would want to keep it.

However, I have massive issues with crashes/freezes/reboots when using the camera.

I know that many people have reported similar issues, but my case is somewhat special in that it only happens on weekends. During the work week, I use the camera normally, and there has not been a single crash.

But when I go hiking/mountaineering/trailrunning on the weekends, I have massive problems.

I would say, every five photos I take, something goes wrong.

Sometimes I get a complete freeze in the camera app and have to do a hard reboot.

Sometimes, the phone simply reboots itself.

Sometimes it switched itself off.

Sometimes, the camera app seems to work correctly, but then a few minutes later the phone reboots all by itself.

Sometimes, these crashes result in broken, unreadable JPG photos on my phone.

This has happened up to ten times on each of my outdoor tours. I have observed this now over three weekends, on four different tours. After such a crash/freeze/reboot, the phone seems to work completely normally again, as long as I do not use the camera app. As soon as I use the camera app again, it does not take long until the problem reappears. But only as long as I am outdoors for extended periods of time. Indoors never any issue.

The natural suspicion is that it must have something to do with the temperatures outside. But temperatures here in late autumn Bavaria have not even been all that cold; the problems already occur at relatively moderate temperatures of a few degrees above freezing.

Software is fully updated, of course.

Because of the 100% clear correlation with outdoor activities of a certain minimum length, which I can only interpret as temperature dependency, I guess this must be a hardware defect, and I should ask Amazon for a replacement. But what do you guys think? What would you do? Is there any diagnostics I can do first?

Thanks a lot!
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
Locked bootloader still? Are you planning to unlock, or open to it? I would recommend doing so and doing a complete clean flash of the latest stock to both slots. Sometimes OTA's arent as complete as we like to think.

If you dont want to unlock the bootloader then I would at least do a factory reset, if you already havent.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
Have you done anything to rule out everything else? Like are you positive that it's because of the temperature?

Maybe it's got something to do with cellular connectivity or GPS?

You could try removing your SIM/entering Airplane mode, and/or turning GPS off, and going outside, see if the issue persists?
[Google Pixel 6a] rhhd:
Thanks for the responses!

No, I am currently not planning to unlock the bootloader. (Maybe I will, once the phone is 2 years old and the implied warranty has expired, but not now.)

Yes, I could do a factory reset. Is there a good non-unlocked way to backup everything I have already setup and configured?

No, I have no way of being completely sure that it is the temperature. Your idea that it might be linked to GPS is an interesting one. After all, I had the geotagging feature of the camera app enabled. I switched this off now, let's see if the problem occurs again.

Problem is, I can only test it on weekends. Being outdoors for only an hour or so has never been enough to trigger the problem. It had to be a longer stay outdoors of a few hours at least, and that I can only do on weekends.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
Pretty sure that you can just flash the stock ROM, re-lock bootloader, and they won't know/bat an eye.

---

Could you leave your phone outside for a few hours? Instead of going on a hike?

From what I've gathered from OP and your reply above is that your phone starts acting up if it's been out in the cold for a while and you open the camera app. You might wanna leave it in the cold for a bit, wait for it to cool down to ambient temperatures, then try to open the camera app? If it still acts up, then we can be more certain that it's got nothing to do with geolocation, but with the cold temperature.
[Google Pixel 6a] rhhd:
Good idea! I'll try that tonight and put it on my balcony for a few hours.
[Google Pixel 6a] rhhd:
I suppose it could also be the fact that it get's moved/shaken more when I am moving on my outdoor tours...
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
Or maybe changes in altitude? Although, I don't know if you're that hardcore at hiking or not :D

Anyway, leaving it on your balcony could help narrow down the source of the issue.
[Google Pixel 6a] rhhd:
I don't think it is changes in altitude, because one of the tours was just a trailrun in only hilly terrain with maybe only 200 meters of altitude difference between highest and lowest point, and even on that tour I had massive issues.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
Do you keep your device in your pocket? If so, it wouldn't be able to get too cold.
[Google Pixel 6a] rhhd:
When running, it is in a mesh pocket of my running vest, so it would get quite cold. On mountain tours it is usually in an outside pocket of my pants. So yes, close to my body, but still some isolating layers away from my body.

Other question, now that we are talking shaking as a possible cause:

When you shake your phone in front of your ear, with the camera module facing towards your ear, do you hear something? I can definitely hear something shaking, as if a tiny metal part is loose inside the phone.
[Google Pixel 6a] xrayA4T:
I keep my bootloader locked. Each month when there is an update I unlock the bootloader and update the phone in case something goes wrong. Once I've successfully updated my phone I relock the bootloader which just requires a reboot. Unlocking and relocking the bootloader does not delete data.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
Yup. Super faintly.

When having a camera app open, it definitely sounds like what you were describing. My best guess would be the OIS trying its best to keep everything stabilized.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
Does it void warranty though? Like what's Google's warranty policy here? Does unlocking the bootloader once void it already?
[Google Pixel 6a] rhhd:
No, I don't mean the OIS sound. I can also hear that one (very very faintly) when the camera app is open and I move the phone. (Sounds like a tiny tiny motor whirring a little.)

But the little clattering that I mean can be heard always, even when the screen is off. Sounds like a tiny screw is loose or something. It is also clearly audible, not nearly as faint as the OIS whirring.
[Google Pixel 6a] xrayA4T:
No, it's not like you are flashing a custom ROM (which I'm pretty sure doesn't void the warranty in the US or Europe). It just allows you to flash a full ROM, not just an OTA. Google has provided this functionality. There is not warning when unlocking that this will void the warranty.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
When I shake my phone "front to back," I hear that. Only when the camera app isn't open though. When I open it, I cannot replicate the sound.
[Google Pixel 6a] rhhd:
Interesting. That seems to be a third sound. Yes, I also have that one, and just as in your case it goes away when the camera app is open.

But the sound I mean is independent of the camera app, and also occurs when shaking the phone side-to-side.
[Google Pixel 6a] rhhd:
OK, the test results are in:

On Tuesday, I left the phone out in the cold on my balcony for 2,5 hours, and yes, afterwards the problems did occur.

On Wednesday, I used the phone indoors, no issues. A new camera app update was installed, I hoped this might be the fix.

But no: On Thursday, I again put the phone outdoors for 2,5h. The problems are back.

I will ask Amazon for a replacement.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions!
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
That's so strange!

I'd love to know what actually triggered this odd issue.

I mean, yeah, surely, something to do with cold temperatures, but that in itself doesn't explain a lot, does it?

I hope your replacement device won't have any issues!
[Google Pixel 6a] rhhd:
Yes, it would be interesting to know indeed. I know too little about how cameras on phones work. For example, do they have moving parts, such as a shutter? If yes, I could imagine some of those moving parts getting stuck due to the cold.

Yes, I hope that the new device will be fine...
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
Not really. Some Samsung phones have a variable aperture, but that's about as far as it goes.

No shutter in any of them. There's OIS and pixelshift technology in some devices, but AFAIK they use magnets, so the cold shouldn't affect them?
[Google Pixel 6a] rhhd:
What about the focus? Does it work purely electronically?
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
Great question, that totally slipped my mind :D

Even it it didn't work purely electronically, I doubt it would lead to your device crashing. Like I think it would more just result in blurry pictures/slow focusing.
[Google Pixel 6a] rhhd:
Status update:

I purchased a new P6a. First thing I tried: I did three tests with putting it into the 0°-compartment of my refrigerator for several hours. No problems with the camera provocable.

Afterwards, I transfered all my data to that new device and have started using it normally, including some outdoor sports like trailrunning. Zero problems with the camera. None.

(I had some issues where some websites crashed Firefox Mobile, which then led to the entire device rebooting. But those were much rarer, and much less of an issue. Might have been caused by some Firefox Add-on.)

I have sent the faulty device back to Amazon and am now waiting for my refund.

If any new developments show up, I will update this thread, but so far the problem seems to indeed have been a hardware issue.
[Google Pixel 6a] rhhd:
Fun fact update: I had to also send back the replacement device. This time because the oleophobic coating on the screen started disolving after two weeks, now looking quite bad.

In principle I love the P6a, but the quality control on this thing seems to be a disaster.
