[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Renate:
Ok, i've been steering you a bit wrong.

Support for all types of USB UART adapter in Linux comes from CONFIG_USB_SERIAL.

AFAIK, no OEM Android kernels come with that built in. You can check:

$ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_USB_SERIAL
# CONFIG_USB_SERIAL is not set

Under Android you can use UsbDevice, UsbConnection, UsbInterface, UsbEndpoint to talk to an adapter.

Of course you'll have to implement the CH341 protocol yourself.

There is no libusb.so so you only have the Android/Java/JNI way.

Do you have a terminal program on your GN8?

Plug in your 3DP (through an OTG adapter).

In terminal lsusb -v.

If you have a Linux or Windows desktop you can do it there too.

(Windows you'll need to look in DeviceManager, "Device instance path".)

Upon thinking about it, I've never used a USB UART adapter on Android.

I have used Bluetooth SPP (virtual serial).

I have implemented FTDI protocol on a micro.

I've interfaced with custom USB HID devices through Java.

I've made Android a custom USB HID device through USB Gadget.

Edit: Hmm, my Onn 7" Gen 3 Walmart tablet has CONFIG_USB_SERIAL

I have a strange problem with latest EEA stock rom. Phone can't go to deep sleep after charge completed. Not even with a reboot and i also tried airplane mode, closing data, wifi.

Before i start the charge it was ok. I also tried to restore a backup and it was also ok until i make the first charge

Good morning

I have a chinese screen on my bmw f20 and everything works not too bad compared to the beginning.

However, the rear view camera is playing tricks on me.

once the first gear is engaged, it remains active all the time. in other words, I see the back even when I'm driving.

she does it anytime. I deleted zlink to see if the carplay was bad nothing to do.

the reverse lights are off when I'm driving.

THANK YOU

Bonjour

J'ai un écran chinois sur ma bmw f20 et tout fonctionne pas trop mal par rapport au début.

par contre la caméra de recul me joue des tours.

une fois la première vitesse engagée, elle reste active tout le temps. en d'autres termes, je vois l'arrière même lorsque je conduis.

elle le fait n'importe quand. J'ai supprimé zlink pour voir si le carplay n'était pas bon rien à faire.

les feux de recul sont éteints quand je roule.

MERCI

IMHO there is no such thing as unsupported countries in terms of WiFi. Pixel supports all WiFi band used worldwide so most likely you don't have any WiFi networks in range.

Thanks for the reply .

The app is installed on my peloton bike , there is no google play store allowed

The app gives a message “update before using” and shuts down . There is not many options to try . I was thinking ti change the metadata so the app thinks it’s on a higher version so it passes the check

I'm creating this thread, but if any Senior Mods or Admins feel it would best be discussed in [All XDA Members] Feedback/Recommendations for XDA thread (I was unsure as that thread is more for suggestions & feedback, I don't know if criticism falls in the spirit of the thread) or some other more appropriate spot, please move these posts there.

Because there isn't any dedicated unlocked thread regarding the rules, policy, stance, and instances on this site (XDA) concerning (Telegram primarily; WhatsApp was mentioned once) external links that may or may not require registration to download files or public/private "channels" or how devs (there and here) deal with the policy, I am moving discussions made from THIS THREAD to a thread here devoted to the topic so it is on-topic here (rather than off-topic there) and anyone can feel free to discuss it further in a dedicated space for it.

Also, in the spirit/theme of the thread, I will also post some related materials to re-establish with an excerpt from Forum Rule 11 and the link to XDA's current rules, policy, & stance on Telegram directly below:

XDA Developers Forum Rules said​

11. ​

Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and to offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar / substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.

Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.

Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.

Off-site downloads from sites requiring registration are NOT encouraged but may be permitted if both of the following conditions are met:

A) The site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership, who actively maintains an XDA-Developers support thread(s) / posts, related to the download.

B) The site is a relatively small, personal website without commercial advertising / links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)

Self-promotion is forbidden, this includes blogs, social media and video channels etc. Random links will be removed.

Telegram Chat Channels - Way Forward

WhatsApp/Telegram Groups and Channels - Going Forward Hello XDA family! Just notifying all members that posting certain links to Telegram and other sites like WhatsApp is now allowed on XDA. What does that mean? We will allow links to messages...

xdaforums.com
[About XDA developers] pndwal:
Can't believe you not only got away with this but got thanked by an XDA mod for it!... Impressive!... Rules on TG links on XDA have changed, to allow information but maybe we can give TG as file source now @V0latyle?... I ask because of past warnings... PW

[About XDA developers] Lughnasadh:
According to these rules, download links from Telegram should be ok as long as...

What about download links?

Download links from hosts, platforms or other sources are allowed as long as they do not require registration. Some Telegram links require registration for downloads, so they will not be allowed. Please check them before posting.
[About XDA developers] V0latyle:
Check out the TG policy in my sig. We treat files hosted on TG like we do any other file host - they must be available to the public without registration, I.e., a TG account must not be necessary to download them.

I personally can't figure out how to download it but I'm also not TG literate, so...

This.
[About XDA developers] pndwal:
Well that's what's confusing about XDA... Rules were strictly no TG except one per development thread in OP originally, then was told still no links to TG threads needing registration but can link relevant information on public threads but CANNOT give TG links as file sources regardless... PW
[About XDA developers] pndwal:
Ok, got it thanks... I missed the change nearly a year ago! 🙃... Guess better late than never... 👍 PW
[About XDA developers] V0latyle:
Yeah. If you read the policy, we allow one TG link for developers in the OP, with the condition that support and updates must be provided in the XDA thread. There's been a few developers that try to keep everything on TG, and that's the point where we consider it to be self promotion under Rule 5:

I'm not going to quote the TG policy here since you can just click on the far right link in my sig and read it, but you get the idea

Speaking of Telegram, can someone help me figure out how to download the file? I don't have Telegram on my phone and while I have an account (that I don't frequently use) I'd rather not join the channel
[About XDA developers] V0latyle:
Thank you. If the previous link you shared does indeed require an account I recommend you remove it :)
[About XDA developers] pndwal:
Ok, so seems what I was told is actually still correct:

Members "can link relevant information" from TG as the links (to public channels) can be opened in browser as a 'preview' (eg with /s/ inserted before the channel name).

However they "CANNOT give TG links as file sources regardless" as files cannot be downloaded without registering an account. 🙃

The cited rule

may possibly apply to WhatsApp (can that be accessed without registering an account? 🤔) per its banner heading, but for TG the statement "Some Telegram links require registration for downloads, so they will not be allowed" seems wishful, superfluous and misleading to me as all Telegram links require registration for downloads unless I'm mistaken. 🙁 PW
[About XDA developers] V0latyle:
Someone had demonstrated to me at some point that TG files can be made publicly available. But I don't remember who. The only thing I can suggest is getting one of the more Telegram knowledgeable mods in here like @karandpr or @Oswald Boelcke or @alecxs
[About XDA developers] pndwal:
I think it was Oswald I discussed this with previously... 🤔

Seems you can download without Telegram "by joining a Telegram group called Files Web Downloader" or similar:

https://techlizar.com/how-to-download-telegram-files-without-telegram/

but "you’ll need to join the group and forward the downloadable link" before "they will convert the link as a fast downloadable link", but that's no good due to need to register...

Apparently a Telegram bot called GetPublicLinkBot might work per link above. "You can use it to download any large files without Telegram... This bot will generate a direct download link for any file you send it" but it didn't work in my test:

View attachment 5926479

... Doubt such third party file-mirroring solutions would be acceptable to XDA anyway, at least unless 3rd party links are used... Original TG links still require registered account to work. PW
[About XDA developers] karandpr:
Telegram posts with external links are available publicly.

Telegram download links required a Telegram account.
[About XDA developers] pndwal:
For context, this:

So it seems that despite the rule update and the fact that many here use Telegram to communicate or to peruse forums, we still cannot link even main Magisk test forks from principal Magisk Devs like @vvb2060's Alpha (with no GitHub published releases) or other apps etc published (for root hiding etc) there...

-------
​

An aside: @ipdev recently made me aware of the "official XDA-Developers Telegram chat hub"... ("Here you will find links to all official XDA Telegram chat groups. The XDA-Developers Telegram chats are run by members of XDA Management with help from various trusted community members.")

https://t.me/xdadevelopershub

I couldn't find rules there against posting or linking files and many have been posted... So I wonder if an acceptable workaround for regular XDA members would be to post such files in the XDA TG General Discussion channel, then reply to that post with a reference to the app/mod like "The Alpha build is 13mb" and link that post (not a download source itself; only a source of 'pertinent information' 😉) from an XDA forum response to a member asking about such releases(?)... 😛

As a for-instance, I ran early versions of Shamiko and posted on XDA about this new hiding module's development long before @nullptr gave it a public GitHub home, but I couldn't post a source for release files when members asked for it as it was only available on TG for some time...

Now (since the extinction of MagiskHide) Shamiko is a staple module for XDA Magisk users too, but it would still be taboo here if it hadn't been for @nullptr's (and @canyie's?) initiative, because of XDA policy... 😐 🤔 PW

OMG, I thought you have successfully finished the thesis on this topic, but apparently it's still on the table 😁
[About XDA developers] V0latyle:
Exactly. This is largely a non profit site, and the only revenue we get is from traffic on this site...so anything that directs users elsewhere is bad. That's also why we discourage self promotion, etc. The idea is that XDA and the content shared herein should be available to the general public for anyone to get useful information...not a platform to promote oneself, one's website, social media, etc.

@pndwal trying to compete with @Oswald Boelcke for the Wall of Text!
[About XDA developers] V0latyle:
@karandpr is it still true that only channels allow free download of files, but groups require using a TG account? Or is it both?
[About XDA developers] karandpr:
Correct.

There is also the security perspective.

We had previous instances when some malicious actor passed malware onto devices from a telegram group.

That resulted in device bricks. Furthermore, malicious actors also cheated members of their money via crypto.

It's a reasonable line we have drawn .

You can view public channels, public groups, and posts in public groups.
[About XDA developers] pndwal:
Sorry, seemed to be you suggestion:

🤷 PW
[About XDA developers] V0latyle:
Right, because I thought we had a public Telgram thread somewhere that we had opened to public discussion before we formed the policy, and I figured we could eventually move those posts here. Oh well.

Bottom line: the TG policy as written is our stance; only developers are allowed to link their channel/group in their OP, no drop and run TG links, and any files hosted on TG must be publicly available.
[About XDA developers] pndwal:
But short of becoming a developer representative it appears there is actually no way to link to official file sources if these are TG hosted, and the statement "Some Telegram links require registration for downloads, so they will not be allowed" seems to be an understatement and somewhat misleading. 🙃 PW
[About XDA developers] pndwal:
I appreciate that, but TG can be legitimate file source too...

I'm interested in a solution that doesn't penalise XDA members enquiring about such official sources or gag members who have links... PW
[About XDA developers] V0latyle:
As a general rule we prohibit sources that require anyone to register an account. You don't even need an XDA account to read the information here, everything on XDA is publicly available. All resources shared herein should follow the same rule - anyone can access them without having to register for anything. So, in that sense, the Magisk Alpha channel link would be a no-go because not only is that project only available on a private Telegram channel, it doesn't have an XDA thread.

So it's not about penalizing anyone, it's about our commitment to the free and fair sharing of information.
[About XDA developers] HippoMan:
Of course, the intention is not to penalize.

Nonetheless, in this particular case, we have to live with restrictions in the name of freedom and fairness.
[About XDA developers] karandpr:
Well yes. Some Telegram developers also don't want their work on XDA. So they end up mass reporting the posts and more work for mods.

Being a developer representative is the best way imo.

If I click the link and it requires registration, its not allowed.

regardless of the nature of links. (Telegram or otherwise)
[About XDA developers] pndwal:
I was responding to this:

If that's true then XDA members wanting official TG hosted file sources are being penalised AFAICS, even if it's really about 'free and fair sharing of information'. PW
[About XDA developers] pndwal:
Good points. 👍

I've understood this policy properly for some time which is why I initially expressed surprise that a TG file source link seemed to be acceptable here, but the OP and others didn't realise that all TG download links require registration so none are allowed...

With a rule that says "Some Telegram links require registration for downloads, so they will not be allowed", the reason for the confusion is obvious to me.

Can I suggest a simple fix?... Just state the rule plainly... "As long as Telegram file download links require registration they will not be allowed". 😬 PW
[About XDA developers] V0latyle:
I'm not sure I understand your point

There's not really any reason for confusion. What @karandpr is trying to say, and you seem to be mistaken on, is that SOME TG file links require registration. Apparently if the file is hosted in a channel and that channel is made public, ANYONE can download the file even if they don't have a Telegram account, therefore it's OK.

However, if the file is hosted in a GROUP, which are by nature private, a TG account would be required to access the file, therefore we don't permit the link on XDA.

It's very simple: If you can access the file without using a Telegram account, it's OK.

If you have to login to Telegram to access the file, it's not OK.

Personally I'd recommend that someone not use TG to host their files simply for this sake; being a member of XDA gets you free premium benefits on AndroidFileHost so might as well use that. But, since TG is popular and many use it, we are trying to compromise.

For lack of a better thread I'm going to see if we can move the TG discussion here
[About XDA developers] pndwal:
I wonder if you've tried then... Magisk Alpha is one of many public channels I have bookmarked... Here's a link to test if you can get the file without a TG account...

https://t.me/magiskalpha/574

Guess It's ok to post it since you're sure public channel file links are ok... If it proves true I'll be quite happy about it! 😃

Looking forward to your test!

That's great, and I do appreciate it...

Maybe we can convince vv (Nangong Xueshan) to open an account and Alpha thread w/ English only support?

Glad to hear it... All best with public TG files. 👍 PW
[About XDA developers] pndwal:
@V0latyle

Sorry, I seem to have neglected to give the link... Added now in post above. 👍 PW
[About XDA developers] V0latyle:
Nope, no good. If I click on the file it just opens a new page.
[About XDA developers] pndwal:
Exactly!

... As I said, I've understood this policy properly for some time but others haven't realised that all TG download links require registration so none are allowed...

The rule should state simply "As long as Telegram file download links require registration they will not be allowed" or similar instead of "Some Telegram links require registration..."

But you are mistaken here unless I'm really missing some obscure method.

As I keep pointing out and others have already said here too, files hosted in public channels are no different!; Selecting direct download will just fail with errors and links will try to open a Telegram client or get you to install telegram to allow you to sign in, join channel and get access to files etc. NO-ONE can download the file if they don't have a Telegram account, therefore it's NOT OK...

Nb. The channel Magisk Alpha is public but the discussion group (obscure link from pinned message in public channel) is private... Public pages can be seen in a browser as preview pages but both the channel and the group require registration for file access.

As I've indicated, the confusion is quite understandable with an XDA rule that says "Some Telegram links require registration for downloads, so they will not be allowed" however. 😜 PW

[About XDA developers] simplepinoi177:
Just very happy to be helpful!

I feel that one of two things can happen; the developer can be encouraged to create an account and start support here on the site, or a thread speaking on the subject can still be discussed here -- the main thing on the rules on it is about actually posting TG links. While it would be much easier to simply make a direct URL link, alternatively there's nothing to stop simply saying something like "you can go to dev's TG [named within these brackets;@devtgsreenname] and download this file 12345.img and flash it" and further support/discuss/troubleshoot the "project". One can even copy and paste the changelog in update posts!

The rules are just about linking to "promoting sites similar / substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com." & "Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited." by linking them to those sites (namely Telegram in this case).

But I do agree wording should be reconsidered as it does seem that while Telegram may host files privately and publicly, registration is required in all cases....I did see instances where files seemed to be available hosted on TG publicly, but one must register. It's not like that with like androidfilehost.com or fdroid.org -- which is what I imagine the authors of the rule meant to differentiate it as....For all I know, maybe at one point Telegram hosted files like that before changing it to require some form of registration...
