[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TheMystic:
I'm only telling you the trend seen in the market. Every brand (Sony is today an outlier in the smartphone space) has abandoned it. I have a Motorola phone with a microSD card in it. I see it already has data folders created by installed apps. I don't understand why Android doesn't block apps from using microSD card to store their data. May be it is an inherent limitation. If that is true, then there is some explanation for why they don't provide microSD card slot on premium devices. Otherwise, it simply means that the majority users do fine without it because they use cloud storage, and also because large internal storage seems to be sufficient for them.

As you said, time will tell.....but this time I know what it will be.

Would you say the same for the audio jack too? Do you realistically think it is coming back to premium devices?

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TheMystic:
"You should wait for the Xperia 1 V if you want to get a non-conventional phone that can do a lot of things. If you miss your microSD card slot and 3.5mm audio jack and hate notches and cutouts, Xperia is your only choice."

$1700? 😂🤣

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Mattia-fr:
Hi everyone, I was concerned about this function, and to get more information, I talked with Samsung assistance. After a few exchanges, the person replied:

“Yes, this function will return from January 2024.” Translated

So, I don't know if he said it to get rid of me or not, but he did say it and if it's true, it would mean that Samsung listens to its customers.

If you're willing to root, multi-user is available. apologies if I'm stating the obvious.

(Although not tested ⚠), it's possible that the systemless lsposed-patch thing will let you use something like Firefds, then you can update build.prop to enable multi-user

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] j96v:
Finally got the backup camera installed and bummed out with the image quality from what I understand on majority of Android head units there is a way to adjust the brightness contrast and quality settings of the backup camera. It appears that the only option is in the factory settings that only lowers the brightness. I need to adjust the exposure and saturation does anybody know if there is any way to adjust this on a dasaita unit running vivid 11
[Touch Cruise General] aphnee:
Is there any possibility to disable the camera on the TC (without brutal force like destroying the lens)?

hugs
[Touch Cruise General] aliasalpha:
Why do you not want the camera? Would remapping the buttons and deleting the shortcuts to access the camera so it's practically impossible to use be enough or do you want it completely shut off?
[Touch Cruise General] aphnee:
unfortunately remapping the buttons and removing shortcuts is not enough. My company has introduced this rule to protect their precious business secrets..

Do you think it's possible?

[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Magic-design:
Hi folks. I have been using the device for a few months, but have not had great speeds on 5g. In fact, the 5g speed is the same as the 4g speed when I test.

I then took the SIM out and put it in the Poco F3 and 5g speed went from 10 to 130 (down).

Has anyone had similar experience with 5g connection? I am not sure if might be the Poco gets a stronger signal strength, or whether there are other issues. Both devices are compatible (and sold by) my carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] blackhawk:
5G is very dependent on near direct line of sight to the tower, distant and available bandwidth. 5G may not be fully integrated where you are, but it will probably improve over time.

Many websites limit their bandwidth and they end up being the bottleneck even with 4G.

5G requires more energy so disable it if it gives you no speed benefit and boosts your battery life.

5G works well if you have a good signal and are transfering large amounts of data. Otherwise it's wasteful and not needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Magic-design:
Yes, but Samsung and F3 tested in same location within 5 minutes of each other. Samsung got 10 down. F3 got 130 down. Same network. Same sim
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] blackhawk:
It's probably the local network...

4G works well for me so I deliberately blew off 5G. Lots of problems with 5G, still.

Plus my unlimited data 4G plan is grandfathered.

A125u1/ds: Is this device e-sim compatible and does rooting make it so? Can it be rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy A12] arsfr:
No. Only the S20+ and above

flagship

models do.

This is a mid-range/low-range phone, so it will not, and as physwizz says "U stands for unrootable", but there is a way if you are under U4 software, just install the U3 Canadian Model Firmware to Unlock Bootloader (A125W)

Hi everyone, i hope someone could help with this issue.

I flashed e/os/ 1.9 on my Mido, and everything worked out of the box.

After a few weeks, fingerprint began working partially. I can unlock my phone with it, i can use it with some applications (for example Telegram), but with some of them does not work anymore (for example Aegis, my bank app and many others...).

For example, if i try to enable fingerprinting on Aegis, it gives me this error:

"There's an error while activating biometric unlock. On some devices biometric unlocking it is not correctly implemented and your devices could be one of them. Consider unlocking with password.

Does anyone encountered this issue or have any solution/advice?

Thanks
[Touch HD General] pur_berger:
After hours of searching .. and trying nearly everything ... I'm Still facing some problems with the famous "Dirty Paper" Theme:

As the Theme was originally intended for the Diamond I have extracted the Graphics and copied them over by Hand (Total Commander). Also the the upgrade for Call Log, Calendar and Comm Manager worked just fine.

But ...

I didn't manage to make the Wallpaper valid for all Tabs

The Language was changed to "French" at the weather panel - this happened probably during the installation of the theme the first time over the config Tool (after that I have realised that it has the size of the Diamond Screen) - so I have restored the original (also over the TF3D Config Tool) ...

I allredy have installed the Icone Demarrer.cab und copied the shellres.192.dll.0c07.mui (German Austria - renamed), softresetted, ... but still - French :(

Any ideas what I could try next?

THX in advance!

Markus
[Touch HD General] giangishanghai:
hi,

i have try the same theme and i had the same problems.

i think is caused by a different Manila vesion.

if you like the graphics, just copy the icon that you need and it will work fine.

i know is not a prefect solution, but at least you can have a new icon sets.

Inexpensive Android 10 FullHD (1080p) HD (720p) projector.

+ Cheap

+ Small/portable (S30MAX 15 x 13.5 W9.2 cm (HxDxW), ~1kg)

+ Easy usage

I received one Hongtop S30Max from store below (HONGTOP Official Store) and concluded following:

- Only 2,4GHz Wi-Fi (No 5GHz!)

- Only 720p native/optical video out (1080p isn't true!!!)

[General Accessories] JockeSve:
Some bundled apps cant be uninstalled/removed "normally" so the option is to remove or completely disable these via ADB.

There are couple of options to use WiFi ADB, Googlr for "wifi adb no root apk".

I used the one 'by Henry' without any issues, just read the How To carefully!

Removed and disabled few apps like included file manager and installed one with network support.

To disable:

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <package_to_disable>

NOTE!

Disable first and if everything works fine You can remove if You want!

To remove/delete:

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 <package_to_remove>

[General Accessories] JockeSve:
IIRC should You pull power, keep remote close to projector, start projector and during startup keep both left and right arrows pressed on remote.

That should do the trick.
[General Accessories] Sujith A:

It can be done from the same device, using those same commands but without having to connect remotely. The same device has the option within the configuration, it seems to me that the development section.

[General Accessories] HeyDannie:
Hey JockeSve, it seems you have a good knowledge of this,

if I may ask; have you figured out a way of increasing the brightness of the projector or maybe the LEDs output power or something??
[General Accessories] HeyDannie:
Hi Everyone,

dont know if this is off-topic but am looking to figure out a way of increasing the brightness on the s30 and s30 max, does anyone have a work around for this??
[General Accessories] JockeSve:
Not sure this is technically possible.

To my knowledge: The LED has it's lumens and increasing voltage/power will probably shorten it's life significantly.
[General Accessories] ringabinga:
I'm interested in buying this projector as a sort of one-off large screen for my room for the time being. I know not to expect any miracles or even good quality, but is it usable? AliExpress reviews really praise it but online I've seen it being disregarded a lot. How has your experience been with it? I'll be projecting at only about 70 inches.
[General Accessories] JockeSve:
Projector as such is OK but only if You are aware that the resolution isn't the best, You might need dar-ish room (not pitch black but really dark) and You should consider using external (BT) speakers.

I have mine mounted on a shelf in bedroom running Kodi and external Google Chromecast TV. 65-70" canvas works OK for the purpose.

The setup works quite OK but fan noise can be a bit annoying sometimes...
[General Accessories] ringabinga:
Thanks for this response. If I'm watching high-quality movies on this, will it at least look decent or will the pixels be discernible? Don't care about the speakers, I'll use wireless earbuds anyways.
[General Accessories] JockeSve:
I'd say yest, it'll be decent picture .
[General Accessories] Boki0007:
I have the same projector and noticed, that after a normal start with the remote control the image is not the brigtest it can be, even if brightness is at maximum (10).

what i do:

i go to SETTINGS

then at the bottom under Brightness

i go to BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT

and then a slider form 0 to 10 appears

WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL I SLIDE THE BRIGHTNESS TO 0 AND THEN BACK TO 10.

then i press the HOME BUTTON

and somehow the image appears brighter!!!

So i think the guys that suggested that there is still some software room for improvement are right IMO.

I would like to hear from you guys if you notice the same.

Btw there seems a new firmware update is available (202307171624), which unfortunatelly i can’t download.

after connecting to server it fails to find a .ZIP file. Any ideas where could we get it and update manually?

Boki
[General Accessories] JockeSve:
TY for the brightness tip but unfortunately I didn't see any increase in brightnes.

Nope !

The FW downloads doesn't even start (waited ~40 mins)... But no luck, not even the expected file size!

And I couldn't find any trace of 'Hongtop' as manufacturer either.

Another "feature" ;).

[General Accessories] SarangArnum:
Dear if you use wireless connection using your wifi then this is excellent projector, but you will have issues if you are watching older movies. while display is quite large but in light you will not be able to see clearly but in the dark it is quite good and even screen can go up to 80" to 120" indeed. if it is HDMI it can only have HDMI-IN, for HDMI Out you need to go for other projectors. you can even mirror using the app provided built-in (Apowermirror) but for sound you will need speakers
[General Accessories] SarangArnum:

[General Accessories] JockeSve:
Now I've been testing my projector on a vacation trip with mixed (but still quite positive) result.

I was able to by using Kodi and a USB connected SSD show both various 1080p and 720p movies on the hotel wall at approx 75-80" size.

If room was dark enough it worked fairly well and sound was good enough for kids watching cartoons and movies.

Resolution is what it is and brightness is OK (not more) if room is dark enough.

WiFi (as it's only 2.4 GHz) isn't optimal for streaming online HD media (lagging from time to time) but by tuning down max resolution it work...

Still no FW updates/upgrades available!

Could anyone find a website where the equipment breakdown is?

I would like to get my hands on it to see if there is a way to add or improve the Wifi antenna and the BT antenna.

It's terrible how 5 meters from the router it already has a hard time playing a video on YouTube, while 3 meters from the router it works perfectly.

Same effect with the BT, with the speakers at 4 meters I start to have a stuttering effect, but in a range of 2 meters it works perfectly. For me, it does not have connected antennas and there should be some way to improve the antenna, even if it is by soldering a cable on the board itself.

Hi all,

Hongtop is not the manufacturer of the projector. There is some chines manufacturer that sells the same projector to different companies, one of them is Hongtop. You can find the same projector but with another name.

As many of chines cheap computers this projector has a problem of Wifi and Bluetooth simultaneous work. Probably because both functionalities are running on the same chip.

In my case if the Bluetooth is enabled, the wifi stops to work after a while. Therefore, the first thing I do after turning on the projector is turning off the Bluetooth.

But it doesn't save the status of switched off Bluetooth. Each time it turns on the Bluetooth automatically at projector turn on.

Anyone found good solution for this issue?

p.s. Probably would be better to buy separate TV box,
