Supposedly GPS tracking of vehicles is illegal, at least in the US. Instead, they use this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_number-plate_recognition. I recently drove through somewhere where they had these stationed in the middle of a highway every mile or two. With cameras on concrete poles every two miles. Oh, and the 3+ police cars I saw on the same highway were equipped with two on the trunk too, like this. At the time, I wasn't sure what they were. Wow.

Hello. I have been having problems with this YT9216BJ Android Head Unit. Linaro GCC? The Google Play store disappeared. GPS and navigation doesn't seem to want to work (it kinda did other day before Google Store disappearance). It says car navigation not installed and I am having problems with Android Automate Car Dashboard.

I'm not sure if a factory reset is the answer or if I upload new firmware? Where do I get the firmware?

If so how do you upload firmware on these stereos? Do you have to pull the stereo out? Is there a USB port etc?

Thank you.View attachment 5936233
[Xiaomi Mi 11] juwlz98:
Hey there,

almost a year ago i rooted my device, tried it for a bit and then realized that i cant use my creditcard app without doing some weird stuff.

so i decided to unroot. everything worked. Now after a long time i wanted to do a normal system update to MIUI 13, but everytime i try to start the update using the devices updater,

i get a dialog saying something like "You device supports seamless system updates. Remember to select Slot A when you get prompted by TWRP" (roughly translated, its in german). I dont really understand why my device is still knowing that i user twrp, even after i removed it and reflashed the original fastboot thingy. (im not too familiar with all the rooting stuff)

I tried to flash again to twrp from my computer and install the update that way but that comes with its own problems and i would prefer to use the system updater rather than twrp.

Does any one have an idea why i get the meantioned dialog and how i can get rid of it to let it update normally?

I just realized that the updater is downloading a file called "xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40Pro_Mi11i_V14 ... .zip". that looks like some unofficial rom to me, is it pulling it from somewhere else rather than the official xiamo servers maybe?

im really lost at this point.

sorry for some broken english here and there :P
[Xiaomi Mi 11] juwlz98:
it also says something about my system being encrypted and that i need to enter a password which never happens.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Unknown.Guy:
If it's fetching Xiaomi.eu rom that means you changed the rom from stock to the custom made EU version. If you did not, that most likely means that your device was originally the China version and the seller installed the EU version to provide you with the Google/Play Services.

In short: You are not using the official stock rom. Please post screenshots from your About Phone.

I was wondering if the sd card that came from orange uk could be the problem why i keep getting interruptions while playing songs.

I also noticed that when I try to access the sd card on my pc, the sd card is not regonized. I also tried to read the sd card on my mac also it can't recognize it.

Please note that I installed the sd tune up utility, and still the interuptions in songs are there.

Can someone tell me how to fix that problem in detail, and why can't i access the sd card in any computer.

Do you think that if I buy a 8 gb micro sd from san disk would solve a problem

[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] Jesus Coder:
Hello all,

I received a Moto G8 Power (Tracfone variant), running Android 11, and have been experiencing quite a few bugs. I read that Android 11 messed up the phone a bit and that downgrading to Android 10 would fix most issues, however, I am unsure how to do this. I first tried to unlock the bootloader of the phone, but I ran into a dead end as I realized the Tracfone variant of the phone is unsupported by Motorola's unlocking program. I have seen a few threads on how to downgrade with an unlocked bootloader, but as I am unable to unlock it, I am unsure of how to go about this (or if it can be done) with the bootloader locked. Though, if there might be a way to unlock the bootloader, I would much rather install a custom ROM to the phone.

To summarize, I wondered if anyone might know if it is possible to downgrade the Moto G8 Power (Tracfone variant) to Android 10 without unlocking the bootloader. Additionally, if it is possible to unlock the bootloader, how I might go about doing this.

Thank you for the help!
[General Questions and Answers] Okaghana:
Hey everyone,

A few days ago I was taking the battery out of my phone, to get to the SD card, without shutting it down properly first, which presumably broke some component in my system. When I booted the phone back up again, I was noticing some weird behavior: I am able to use the phone normally, but after about a minute, the whole phone freezes and I am not able to interact (touch or power / volume buttons) with it in any way anymore. After the phone has been frozen for about a minute, it will crash and restart and I will be thrown back into the boot sequence.

Luckily I discovered, that the Safe Mode worked fine and none of these problems ever occurred there. I am able to make phone calls and access the internet via the default browser just fine there.

When using adb to get the log below, I noticed I was still able to use the shell (cd, ls, etc.) after the display froze, so I assume only some of the system is having problems.

Phone: Fairphone 3

OS: Lineage 20.0 with MindTheGapps. I updated to 20.0 a few weeks ago and already tried OTA updating to the newest version after the phone started misbehaving, without any luck.

My phone is/was rooted using magisk, but I already uninstalled it trying to prevent the crash.

Below I added the output of adb logcat, which I ran as soon as the connection to the PC was established and until I saw the bool logo again.

One thing I noticed was the message

[ 06-20 00:07:09.165 1179: 9685 E/qdmetadata ]
Unknown paramType 4096

which was issued 4000+ times during the duration the log was taken. I don't know about the fatality of this error, but digging in the lineage Source-Code I think it relates to the display.

I already thought about resetting the phone to factory default, but I have a lot of stuff on there and would prefer to not do so, ignoring the fact that this might not even solve the problem, depending on how deep it lies.

Thanks in advance,

~Okaghana

I already uninstalled all apps that I recently installed and even some older ones I didn't need.

One more thing I noticed: When my phone has low battery power (below 10%) it takes longer to freeze. I suspect a background activity is the culprit and when the phone is low on battery the power saver increases the time until it is executed

Not even deodexed lol, learn cygwin if you wanna do that stuff, it's pretty easy once you get the gist of it and get it all set up

Bugs: well there shouldn't be any, I'd be surprised if there was because it's a bone stock rom lmag

In case of the format( ) error use this version of philz recovery, I guess I didn't build it with the newer something layout so it no longer plays nice with cwm? Idk, this recovery works however

If the link ever dies somehow because of some fire in the xda server place hmu via the messaging thing or if I'm not here 10 years from now my gmail is garlicbreadcrumbs@gmail.com and i'll make sure to somehow get these things downloadable again, I hate dead links.

There is tons of guide in YouTube , buy basically you need to unlock your bootloader first that will erase all the data in your phone , next you need OnePlus pc drivers and fast boot drivers installed in your PC and then you need the platform tools to access the phone via adb command. And then enable developers option and via adb command reboot bootloader and unlock bootloader using a command fastboot OEM unlock and then you install all the custom roms that is suitable for the OnePlus 8 series.

AdBlock Plus is one of the most popular ad blockers available. It is easy to use and blocks most ads on most websites.

The second option is uBlock Origin which is a more advanced ad blocker that offers more customization options. It is also very effective at blocking ads. But first you check all the reviews and read all the terms regarding permissions and all that.

[General Questions and Answers] AlphaBravo2:
I've tried every solution recommended. My smartphone is not rooted, it is an LG L355DL, LG K31 Rebel, Android version 10. I got many tabs on my browsers that I need to transfer & review. When I try to transfer each tab one by one using my phone, old social media sessions, Facebook links, etc, I open the tab, but they reset their URL to facebook.com/login, so I often lose where I was at completely when I try to click on them to share/transfer them to my PC or anywhere.

In other words I have to open the tab again, refresh the URL, but in the process the URL changes & sometimes resets itself to the domain, common thing that happens when you're not re-logged into social media, etc. So I need a walk-through to access the session/tab files via adb method, or something.

I do not have root access to my phone. I tried to do adb pull /data/data/com.styxbrowser.browser/app_chrome/Default/* etc. I connected my PC to my phone via USB, but it doesn't work. Also this forum post may help. Here are my terminal results/attempts: www.rentry.co/cyube.

Lastly, there is interestingly another very different approach to accessing these files, it worked for my Android Kiwi browser. I connected my android to my PC via USB, opened my kiwibrowser on my Android, turned on adb on my phone, then I went to chrome://inspect/#devices in my browser on my PC. I could see all tabs & could back them all up. it works like a charm. However, it doesn't work with Styx or Duckduckgo. Not sure why.
