hi i got the update a week before for my xperia 5 IV XQ-CQ54 (UK) with the size of 900mb..

Nothing major update over the android 12 except for few animations and some polished design in notifications, settings etc. But the major thing i felt is the smoothness, snappy than ever before. Also i felt the battery stand by is good over android 12 when in wifi .. And i always charge the device to 80 only not 100. and it gives a day full of juice with basic usage not heavy usage .. Overall i liked it very much ..

Here is a problem with A13.

My phone no longer pairs with Honor Band 6.

It seems to be a general problem with stockish Android 13 and Huawei accessories.

I got Android 13 this morning. I don't play games, listen to music, or make phone calls. The apps and the camera seem to be working fine as is messaging. It seems snappier than Android 12.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] wuub:
Updated then wiped the phone.

It's fast, stable but I fail to find anything new that is relevant.

In my opinion, Material U is a gimmick and the rest of the Android features are "ok" but nothing crazy.

But hey, it's there and works well, so no need to stay on 12 if the update is available.

connecting phone to pc via PTP/MTP or "file transfer" suck because you can't browse full photos without downloading them to local drive first for example.

[General Questions and Answers] Cubot33:
it also happens on other android devices!
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
You can't bring back

Modern Android devices use different USB connection protocols, for example MTP what acts a lot like USB mass storage. This because the Android file system had to be accessible from Windows device, it had to be formatted with the FAT file system. Not only does Microsoft have patents it exerts on FAT, FAT is also an older, slower file system without a modern permission system.

An MTP device shows up in Windows Explorer so you can browse and transfer files.

For wireless file transfers, a good choice is AirDroid. It allows you to connect to your Android device over Wi-Fi with just a web browser, moving files back and forth without the necessity of a cable. It will likely be a bit slower, but it can be a life-saver if you’re out and about and didn’t bring the appropriate USB cable. For transferring files from Android to your PC, Portal is also a quick and easy solution.

[Nothing Phone 1] Deleted member 11872899:
I mean when they choose their "official testers" but also don't have a problem if people share the beta files it would be fine. And also if it's possible to get beta updates via OTA like I'll get with my pixel 7 pro. But let's wait... I'm also very disappointed.
[Nothing Phone 1] ZeroSakura:
Me, too. I don't quite understand the official behavior.
[Nothing Phone 1] wblasko:
I think they want to stay safe not providing the beta to everyone to prevent mass brick issues. And maybe they want to keep the number of "failures" as low as possible.
[Nothing Phone 1] Chaotick:
I think so too. I used to install pre beta builds of (then) cyanomgenmod and by some miracle i didn't brick my device. It's much better to wait :)

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bearbait:
Pretty Noob parent here of a child that owns a kid's kindle fire. I have a problem that I really need some help with or at least to know if its impossible. My Amazon account got compromised and teh reps there advised me to logout of all Amazon accounts. Doing this put my child's kids edition kindle into a very odd state and I can't recover their files. My child spent COVID with her sister using the kindle to make movies together and they have a lot of sentimental value to her. I'm trying to be superdad and recover them but I've run into some issues. I would really, really appreciate any help you could give me on this issue as Amazon is telling me the only option is to factory reset and lose all the video files.

- When I logged out of all devices it logged out the main adult account. Problem appears to be that a kids account is on a subscription paid for by an adult account. When the adult account was severed it made the kids account inaccessible. When I try to log in to the kids account I get an error message telling me to contact Amazon. I did contact them and got escalated to a pretty awesome manager who spent an hour trying all kinds of work arounds - nothing worked.

- I can't directly access the movie files on the kids account as they are under her account and it can't be logged in. I can see the files from the file manager but can't move them. They are located on the device storage, not on the SD Card.

I have a kIndle 8 8th edition running software version 7.3.2.4.

Here is what I've found so far:

Using the main adult account I can see the images from the kids account within my "images" folder. However the movies are represented as jpg images. It seems like there is a weird permissions error or something similar that lets me see the jpgs but not the movies?

I have set the kindle up to work with USB as a file transfer. When I connect the kindle to my PC I do not see any device folders, just the SDcard folders. The folder manager shows several gbs are being used but when I scan each folder (especially DCIM) they are all empty.

I tried connecting the device to my PC via BT. I was able to transfer the photos but the movies all fail. I tried connecting google drive and other cloud backups but could not remove the videos. It said "transfer failed".

Steps taken so far using android rooting software:

- DL'd the adb files and ran from terminal. I got an error message when I tried to run the root command about not being able to root a production model.

- I found the kindle tool kit software and DL'd and ran.

- I tried to to use the "pull" tool to copy the main directory "Current Directory: /" but it says "Permission denied" under the files in directory section.

[Game Ports and Emulators] pronane:
Hi,

I bought some generic usb N64 controllers for my nvidia shield using MupenPlus64.

The problem I have is the "S" or "Start" button is mapped to my home button for the Nvidia shield.

I have tried unmapping but its not really a proper solution, and it didnt work the nvidia controllers didnt do anything when the home button was hit, but the "Start" button

on the N64 Controllers still returns home, so not sure how its mapped or what its actually mapped to.

All the other buttons work fine, but I obviously need the start button. Is it possible to create two buttons(say A&B) pressed together - long press) to map to the "Start"

button of the controller? I have tried this though and everytime I use an already existing button that is mapped it removes it from the previously mapped button even when

its used in combination with another one for "Start".

Thanks

[Magisk] Arealhooman:
Any difference?
[Magisk] V0latyle:
It depends on the device.

For devices where flashing individual partitions can be done directly via bootloader, patching the boot image is generally preferred. However, some devices don't allow this, such as Samsung, so you have 3 options, which may or may not work well:

Extract the boot image from the AP.tar and repack it, then flash in Odin (easy to get wrong)

Patch the AP.tar in Magisk (difficult because this is the "main" firmware package and is quite large)

Flash a custom recovery if one is available, then flash Magisk in recovery (seems to work pretty well)
[Magisk] Arealhooman:
I did number 2. How is it difficult? How is 1 more dangerous than 2?
[Magisk] V0latyle:
It's difficult because it's a large file, and since Magisk doesn't run on PC, there's no easy and quick way to patch it.

I never said 1 is dangerous, just easy to get wrong. Samsung repackages their images as lz4 files, so while you can extract boot.img.lz4 from the AP.tar using 7Zip, extracting boot.img from the lz4 file is another story. I tried using a 7zip plugin; it didn't work for me. Then, once you've patched it, you have to figure out how to flash it to the device. If you want to use Odin, you have to repackage the file. You can use TWRP to install images, but at that point you might as well just install Magisk via TWRP and skip the whole process.
[Magisk] Arealhooman:
I did it the Al way becasue I don’t have twrp for my device. I used Adb push and pull for magisk. Btw after I rooted my device is expired int little problems (eg. When swiping out apps, the one on the top doesn’t move down, my device restarts upon connecting wifi). Do you think I’m okay like I am or I should redo?
[Magisk] V0latyle:
No idea how to help with that, sorry.

Thanks for explaination anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Comasleep:
Hey all, I searched for this but only found one thread that died relatively quickly and never lead to any meaningful results.

Essentially my 2-week-old S22 Ultra spends most of the day, regardless of where I am, in 4G vs 5G, which is crazy slow compared even to the old 2-year-old phone I just traded from. It's immensely slow. My last phone was an old LG Velvet that was in 5G constantly. I live in a city almost completely covered by 5G (Denver, CO, USA). I have tried the Samsung Band Selector app, but this returns an error as the new 'update' has apparently removed the option. A second app called "Force 4G" or similar allowed me access to a few "Hidden Settings" I wasn't able to access before, but when I set the 'Preferred Network' to "NR Only" (vs NR/LTE) I am simply given the good ol' grayed-out signal bars.

The S22 Ultra boasted tons of enhanced radio hardware (especially compared to my old LG Velvet), so why is 5G so much more difficult for me to obtain on this device? Is there a setting I'm not seeing, a firmware I'm running that's spotty, or something else that may be fixable? I'd hate to have to return this device or downgrade, but browsing the web and using YT are necessities for me and this 2-bars-of-4G bull**** is getting old very fast.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

We recently purchased ShieldTV to install some apps to use for signage and presentation but some apps require rooted android so it can boot into app if it was even rebooted or loss of power.

So far, I manage to learn how to get into the recovery menu and I download the 8.2.3.zip. I went into menu - unlock bootloader - selected recover - select 8.2.3.zip from sd memory card (tube does not have USB) and it keep halting saying permission error.

Now it won't let me connect or pair the remote so I thinking I am doing something wrong or missing a step

Can anyone guide me on this one? Do I need to unzip all contents into sd memory card? or leave it zipped?

Recently got this newly launched Motorola's Moto G72 and while setting it up noticed something really strange. Along with Google's usual Find My Device app there was another app called PAKS sitting in the Device Admins section. The app has all the bizarre permissions needed to hack a device.

Also Things get freakier when I went to Apps>All Apps>Show System Apps>PAKS & tried to 'Force Stop' it. A pop-up saying 'BLOCKED BY YOUR IT ADMIN' shows up

On googling I found out (on Lenovo's official Forums) that many other people have noticed thing in their phones as well and have been asking about it but haven't received any satisfactory answer

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agunlocker:
I will explain what PAKS is and why motorola or lenovo do not give an explanation because it does not work for the public. PAKS is an MDM (Mobile Device Management) system which is a service to be able to control the equipment remotely. But why is motorola incorporating this service in the phones? Well, simple, at the request of the operators and credit services. This service after or during the activation of the phone establishes a connection with the motorola servers and verifies that the phone is not being used with a company for which it was sold or, failing that, that will terminate its payments in the case of credits. In short, it is a system to block phones if they are not paid for or are not used as the operators like. Now as for the solution, there currently isn't one because these new versions of android are immutable systems, and that's why Motorola or Lenovo give an answer that this service is because it's fine for companies, but it's not for the public neither safe nor fair, nor even legal.
