[XPERIA X1 General] Alex Atkin UK:
They certainly haven't hit the sweet spot yet.

Windows Mobile is too PC like, its awkward to use without a stylus. Panels are no replacement for that either as we already need third-party apps for something.

Android from what I have seen (which is not much) seems to be more a traditional phone interface, which I suspect is not PC enough.

The problem is, you can't sacrifice the PC features for the sake of making it more thumb friendly otherwise you might as well have bought a normal phone. However WM is also far from the ease of use of a normal phone which gets annoying sometimes when all you want to do is make a call.

Is it even possible to solve both those problems? Panels certainly was an attempt which I am not so sure about yet. Its far too "stuck on top". I get not wanting it to take over the phone, I wouldn't want that either, but it would be helpful sometimes to have the X1 in "phone priority mode" where it imitates a phone keeping the PC stuff in the background. If I want to choose a contact, make a call, send a text, its overly complicated and time consuming in WM and having to wait for Panels to load makes it no faster either.
[XPERIA X1 General] erichui:
To be honest, I don't find what you described here much different than other phone that I have used such as say Symbian....

I am not sure why you find it overly complicated and time consuming, but making a call and sending a message isn't harder to me at least... you just open contacts (or use the "Call button") type in the name (or number in the phone screen) and there you go........... I can't imagine it being any better really.
[XPERIA X1 General] odobo:
I agree.... coming from a iphone I just dont see any different to make a call between the 2 os.... I still have to click on the phone button, then click on the number to make a call... same thing on the sms.... or maybe Alex have a different approach or he doesnt know which button to click to make a call

in terms of "thumb friendly"... the only thing that I find that the x1 is not is that the screen size is small compare to the iphone. Otherwise while the x1's screen use pressure instead of capacitance, I dont find it a lot different than the iphone...
[XPERIA X1 General] Alex Atkin UK:
Well for a start, what is the quickest/easiest way to get to the messaging app?

I do it via the today screen which is REALLY easy to hit the wrong line.

Then there's editing your contacts. This is REALLY fiddly on WM because its a pure Windows interface so the best chance of not hitting the wrong line is to get the stylus out.

One problem is that I want small fonts so I can fit more text on the screen, but often the size of the area you click is related to the font size. So if you have small fonts its harder to use with your finger.

Panels on the other hand are great in theory, but they are so slow at loading due to being all separate apps. They need to load a LOT quicker.

It also does not help the lack of 2D/3D acceleration so the CPU gets hammered doing really basic things which can cause scrolling to stutter, apps to hang, etc. So its not all WM at fault here, the whole OpenGL not available to the OS on the Qualcomm chipsets is a big issue for usability.
[General Topics] rado1984bg:
I was told that for reporting bugs with Android I should post on this forum and not contacting Google, so here I am, reporting.

Nokia G21 (finally) received its update to Android 12 and while the main problem was fixed, another one appeared: the default screenshotter which you can access from the swipe down control center doesn't hide and doesn't take a screenshot of the locked screen like it used to do on Android 11. Instead, it takes a screenshot of the control center and also hides the background, making it black. I have the same image as background (or wallpaper, if you will) for both home screen and locked screen. And yet, when you press "Screenshot" while the screen is locked, that wallpaper is hidden and there's only black background with the control center opened - that's what the screenshotter takes a picture of.

So, if you could make the screenshotter behave like it used to on Android 11, that would be great.
[General Topics] SigmundDroid:
I am afraid you just got pranked... unless you got your phone's ROM from here (then you could tell the dev and hope for improvement).
[General Topics] roirraW "edor" ehT:
@rado1984bg,

As @SigmundDroid indicated, someone lied to you when they told you to report bugs with a stock ROM here instead of directly to either OEM Nokia or Google. I haven't owned Nokia devices, but since almost every OEM uses their own customized "flavor" of Android, the bug(s) might be Nokia-specific, so you would have to see if there is a way to report issues to them.

Sometimes helpful users here, in your case in the Nokia G10 / G20 / G21 section, can provide workarounds for some issues, although I'm just guessing that issue will have to be fixed by Nokia. Sometimes when there are workarounds, they require a rooted device, which is another can of worms, and I again claim ignorance about Nokia devices with regard to unlocking the bootloader and/or rooting.

Even if you can, just the possibility alone doesn't mean you should root your device, and rooting a device by itself - without a known workaround, won't fix the issue you're experiencing.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Marcoboo268:
Hi! I bought a ROG Phone 5 about 2 weeks ago, it was a tencent edition and wanted to switch it to WW firmware. I used a raw file from a video I saw on youtube and everything worked. Right now I just want to update it to android 12 since it's on android 11 and I cant seem to find a RAW file for android 12, I tried flash tools, and reusing the raw firmware nothing is working, I also tried to manually update it but it says Update Failed. Been running out of options.
[General Topics] rado1984bg:
Shortly after posting my other topic about the screenshotter, I discovered another problem - I chose a temperature for the white color (I moved the slider more to the warm white, if it matters) and after that when I tried to close "Settings", Android 12 froze and all I could do was reboot it. The "Settings" app was unlocked (the padlock was open), so that's not it.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Hai Karate:
I had similar results on T220. "Miscellaneous" in Essence crashes just like it did in 3.6, and in 3.7 either "Lock screen" or "Themes" (I don't remember which one) crashes.

Even on 3.6 the options to customize the lockscreen just weren't there, like the ones for changing the clock. Between testing Elixir and other ROMs I must have done a full wipe and re-install at least 3 times and did not see those options.

crDroid 9.4 wouldn't boot past the loading animation for me, so I've moved to the latest Pixel Experience Plus which is working quite well.

EDIT: One thing that did annoy me greatly about Elixir is that long-press shortcuts for many apps didn't work in the Launcher. Some apps showed them, most did not.

How to Install it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] the_Victorian:
Sometimes when the tablet sleeps it refuses to wake up, leaving a grey screen when the power button is pushed. The only way to make it come back is a force reboot. Has anyone found a solution to this or experienced similar?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] tom.android:
@the_Victorian

your tab model ?

Android stock based ?

GSI version ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] the_Victorian:
It's a US T-220 on the February Elixir release (3.6). Base stock firmware was WA6. It's strange, it doesn't happen all the time. It usually occurs when it's charging during sleep. Also, Bluetooth audio devices continues to stay connected during this "frozen" state.

[General Questions and Answers] Rustys:
I have an AT&T tilt device and have replaced the phone skin on my device by editing the images on the phone. I can manually put the rebuilt files back on the phone without error. Everything works fine. I'v created a cab file install, to change the images in a more automated fashion. This also is working; however, the install is then recorded by the device and with each following install I'm warned of the already existing app. Keep in mind I'm not adding or removing any files just overwriting them. My questions are as follows.

Is there any way to install the files without the device recording the install?

Is there a way to supress the warning messages about the already installed software.

Is there a way to prompt the user to restart the device after an install.
[General Questions and Answers] joel2009:
i have never done these things myself (except removing the warning through a reg edit)

My current device is S20, and it can support wma files, but I want th replace it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] webhook:
I mean it probably does support .wma files if your S20 already supports it. However just to play it safe, probably convert it to a .mp3.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] randy施:
Really? If it does, then I cannot wait to buy it. Honestly, I do have a sea number of music files in wma. I really don't want to convert them, it may be costly.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] webhook:
There's a lot of .wma to .mp3 converters out there. However I do believe it supports .wma because my Galaxy Note 4 did for ringtones.
[FYT Android Head Units] Pacote-san:
I know that it supports up to AHD1080 using the rear cam RCA input.

Does it supports it also using the front camera input? Anyone knows?

Wanted to change my front camera with a better resolution one but I have no idea if it supports it.
[FYT Android Head Units] Sull2:
I connected the CVBS IN1 to a front AHD1080 camera on my Teyes Unit (uis7862) If that helps.
[FYT Android Head Units] Pacote-san:
Thanks but does it goes from rear camera to front when you disengage rear ?
[FYT Android Head Units] Sull2:
It does for 3 seconds, I had to enable this in the units settings app. Check if you have this setting ?
[FYT Android Head Units] Pacote-san:
Thanks, will do

My worry was AHD not working on this input but it seems it works just fine
[FYT Android Head Units] Pacote-san:
Are you sure your front camera was AHD1080?

Just tried both 720 and 1080 AHD and didnt work, only CVBS signal

No setting anywhere on those units to change video signal , only for the rear input
[FYT Android Head Units] Sull2:
The title of the camera I bought it AHD 1080P/720P Car Front View Camera and says "Before buying, please check if your Monitor or Android unit Car radio can support AHD."
[FYT Android Head Units] louforgiveno:
I've seen some listings for cams that some mention snipping a specific wire to enable/disable AHD, check your manual if it came with one
[FYT Android Head Units] Pacote-san:
This one is AHD only

It works just fine If I plug it on rear cam input.

Perhaps the issue is that the rear cam is AHD1080 and the front one is AHD720
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
No, AHD is AHD.

You really need an AHD chip on your motherboard to be able to use an AHD camera and then it doesn't matter whether it is 720p or 1080p.

If it works for your reverse camera then obviously your reseller didn't configure it for your front camera.

Also: did you contact your reseller and asked him?
[FYT Android Head Units] Pacote-san:
There is a option to choose the codec for video signal for reverve, NTSC, PAL, AHD720 25fps, AHD1080 25 fps etc.

If you have AHD1080 camera it will only work if the correct option is selected, same for AHD720.

I dont have a option for front camera video signal, but will try to reach the reseller.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Yes, you are right that you need to select the correct configuration, but if you have the AHD chip it will support both 1080p and 720p. There is no 720p AHD chip or 1080p AHD chip.
[FYT Android Head Units] Pacote-san:
This I Know but if you have to manually select the codec for the rear camera to work. In my case, I choose AHD1080 25 fps.

Its logical to think that for it to work, the front camera would have to be AHD1080 also since there is no selector for it

And so a AHD 720 camera wouldnt work
[FYT Android Head Units] Pacote-san:
Found out the solution

You have to install fcam.apk (I didnt have this) so then you can open and configure the video codec for the front input
[FYT Android Head Units] matrixx1:
Hi could you elaborate on this? Front cam app apears if you enable Front cam in the factory settings menu at least in my mekede m6 pro plus unit. But i also coulnt find yet how to select ahd for front cam or for any cam for that matter. Currently i have cvbs front camera which works but would like to upgrade to an AHD. Also couldnt figure out how to configure for how long the video feed should be shown. In my previous Dasaita (whihc only supported cvbs cam) there was an option under factory settings to configure just this
[FYT Android Head Units] Pacote-san:

[FYT Android Head Units] matrixx1:
You don't need this front cam App is system app. Once you enable front cam in MCU/facotry settings its icon will appear. Depending on the type of device (fyt or PX) different setting methods are necessary. For fyt in my case you had to turn on in facotry settings: front view+cancel reverse into front view+reverse power supply+AHD. I think you should go ahead and order the front view cam. Should be ahd if your HU supports it, ccda is really not that nice I had it too.

So I know a lot of us (probably you if you're reading) have had tons of problems with the GPS regardless of ROM vesrsion. I've tried several ROMS (currently using Romeros (great)) and several radios (currently .28).

And here's what I've found. GPS will almost never work - except if ATT Nav is running. Then it works every time. However, as we all know, once you log into the Nav - you're being charged. This brings me to my quesiton. Have any of you Moderators / Hackers tried seeing what's in the ATT Nav that's enabling the GPS. I spoke to HTC today and they told me that the phone was designed NOT to work unless ATT Nav is running in the background. So what's that program doing to activate the GPS. And (and I'm not sure if this is how it works) couldn't we just install the app, and take a picture of the used dll's and registry changes to see what it's actually doing - and write a small program to do the same thing?

Thanks,

BZ
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] casey.davis:
My GPS works without even having ATT Nav installed. It just takes awhile to 'warm up'. When I'm planning to use the GPS I will just fire up my map program, iGo or Google Maps and wait. It takes about 2 minutes to start working and then I get good GPS signal until I'm done.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] omaralt:
i dont think this is true, since people with the unlocked/unbranded touch pro are having the same gps issues.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] regis.stration:
Same here. I go out to start the car and the nav program (CoPiolot or google maps) and come back in a couple minutes. THe GPSTest app doesn't seem to get it started any sooner, just tells you what sats it's seeing and the signal strength of each.

The dialer app on the oneplus pad only allows for google meet video and audio calls and the messaging app does nothing, you can try to send a sms but it just says "You may be able to send after inserting a SIM"

And I hope the the vaunted connection sharing works both ways \ esp. Pad giving to phones. That would be one of its best values- we have Unlimited Tablet plans for $10.
