Hi.

I have problem on mine New Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus model with fast draining battery.Battery is losing 1% per 2/3 minutes on low settings and good OPTIMIZITAON.Do You think that is normal or?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Bäcker:
no it is not and there will be an app or service being responsible. Unfortunately tracking this down has become a bit harder over the last years, especially without root.

You can flash a U1 ROM onto the phone, no problem. The recommendation would be the XAA ROM in the USA, as this supports US carriers. However, note that this may still load carrier software when it detects your SIM and changes the CSC to that carrier.

Honestly, you can remove software by simply disabling it or using ADB on either U or U1 ROMs, so there is no big advantage to switching to U1.

HOWEVER, note, if you're trying to avoid a carrier lock issue, this will not likely work to fix that, because your IMEI is what is registered in the carrier's systems. So, changing the ROM won't fix the activation status - the carriers will still see the IMEI and still prevent activation until the locking-carrier unlocks it. You can't avoid carrier locks by flashing new ROMs.

Sometimes when the reverse signal turns on the backup camera, it freezes the entire unit and causes it to reboot.

It doesn't seem to happen if I disable reverse detection in car factory settings.

Anyone know a fix or any type of troubleshooting? I've heard that these units sometimes require better grounding but I don't know if that is the cause.
[Android Head-Units] darklimak:
Have You resolve the problem?

My unit https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQpHwJH is also restarting when i put reverse gear.

Please let my know...
[Android Head-Units] buzzywuzzy:
I haven't. It stopped happening as often after I updated to the latest firmware, but it still happens. Still haven't ruled out if the problem is with the head unit or the car, but I did notice that my car adapter's power also goes out briefly when it restarts which signals it could be something in the car at fault.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] GrandMstrBud:
I'm not sure why it updated but after a restart I lost root. I'm looking to find out how I can root this again without losing or wiping data. The last time I followed a post on here it wiped the data and that usually ends up taking me hours to restore everything the way I want it. Is there a simple way? The bootloader is still unlocked
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
Was rooting that wiped your data [first time, or unlocking the bootloader?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Just root as you normally would. Patch and flash the patched init_boot.img. This doesn't wipe data.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] GrandMstrBud:
I believe so, but that's because I had to unlock the bootloader and I know when you unlock the bootloader that wipes the data.

Thank you worked perfectly. I always get nervous on this because restoring everything takes forever to relog into all my apps and everything. So is there a way to prevent this thing from automatically updating because I've never had that happen before
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
Sure, but updating doesn't mean the bootloader gets locked again, you can check it yourself🙂
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
You can disable Automatic System Updates in Developer Options if you haven't already. Most of the time this seems to work but there have been outliers where it didn't.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] GrandMstrBud:
I answered my own question by a quick search. You can turn off this and developer options. I'm assuming we could still flash this by using a no wipe data flag in the batch file? It's been a while
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] GrandMstrBud:
Thanks everyone, y'all are great I just never had one auto update before.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yes, remove the -w from the flash-all.bat script and then flash the factory image.

Hello i bought a Android radio t10 model from aliexpress like 18 months ago (https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005...t_main.49.3200194dYXFyNP&gatewayAdapt=glo2esp) and was nice all this time, but since a month ago when i start the car the radio keeps restarting when it reach the android logo, i took my car to a car mechanic and they say it may be the SO the problem and it could be corrupt because all the cables are ok. And there was trying to sell me a new one on 230 bucks so first i really want to be sure if there is any chance to fix it.

Do u know if there is a way to reinstall the firmware even when it keep rebooting at the android logo? i tried putting the usb with the correct firmware but it doesnt have time to recognize it i think before it reboot again

Thanks guys!
[Android Head-Units] donluuis:
Finalmente, pude solucionarlo gracias al video que me envio el vendedor. Igual lo posteare por si alguien en algun lugar del mundo tiene el mismo problema con la radio T10 de Srnubi comprada en aliexpress con problemas de bootloop, aveces google funciona de manera misteriosas y terminen en este post

[Android TV General] kk100:
Hello Everyone,

I have an android TV box Hk1 rbox android 11 4gb ram 64gb Rom RK 3288 processor. The box comes pre rooted.

I am looking for 2 apps. (Searched Internet many hours couldn't find answer)

1, I am looking for an app that Auto Shutdown the whole TV box after a defined Inactivity (eg 15 min). I already am using native sleep feature but that doesn't helps as the processor etc is still running heating the CPU. If the app comes with some auto shutdown feature when some video or audio is streaming that would be great.

2, I am looking for an Screen Magnifier app just like windows has it.

I am Surprised how such small requirements are not inbuilt in the OS.

I searched internet and on many other platforms these questions have been asked.

Someone PLEASE help with these.

Best Wishes

Temporary root solution via [CVE-2022-22057]

Requirements

- Firmware version at or near F926UXXS1BUL6 due to specific kallsym offsets (only F926USQS1BUL6 tested)

Directions:

- Read all directions, disclaimer above, and caveats below first

- Download libtimeline.so and timeline (attached in zipfile)

- Copy both to /data/local/tmp

- Via adb run /data/local/tmp/libtimeline.so

* Warning your device may kernel panic and reboot, if it does, wait for it to boot, unlock device, give a few minutes for your device to "chill out" from bootup, and try again -- theorhetically, the worst thing that should happen is that you will lose any data that is still in memory. So make sure you save any important data before running the exploit

- After the exploit has completed successfully, you should be able to connect to a root shell by typing `netcat 127.0.0.1 9999` into an adb session. if it connects, you should then be able to type `id` and it will show your root status

More caveats:

- There is currently no implementation to show that the exploit ran successfully. On the other hand, you can run the timeline binary directly (/data/local/tmp/timeline) and that will show you if the exploit succeeded, but soon after you end your adb session, the device will crash, which is why we run from libtimeline.so

- Even if running from libtimeline.so, if android kills the timeline process in the background, it will also cause the phone to reboot. My phone typically goes anywhere from 8 hours to a few days before the process gets killed

- libtimeline.so loads cpu at 100%: you will notice in `top` that timeline is running at about 100% cpu usage. I am not sure if this is legitimate or not. It is really just sitting in a `while(1)` state to prevent it from closing and crashing the device, so I haven't found what is causing the high cpu usage or if its a false positive

- This is a temp root solution meaning: no magisk, no su manager, and defex is still enabled

- ** This is very insecure ** it leaves a root shell running on port 9999 via netcat and any service that writes a command to that port will be able to execute commands with root priviliges

My U1 is at software version F926U1UES3FWF3 (and I've disabled future auto-updates) - how can I help get this working with the newer firmware?

What must be done to update this to work with newer firmwares? I've got the impression that it's exploiting something in the Snapdragon that can't be patched so I hopeful that it can be made to work on different versions... I have been wanting root access on this ridiculously expensive portable computer since the week after I got it.

Thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Melomi:
Been using this tutorial to root android using magisk: https://www.xda-developers.com/root/ However, ive also noticed you gotta hop a few hoops to get samsung to work. Trust me, i think ive tried everything. installed and reinstalled Samsung drivers, pull the phone version and region through frija, change usb ports, used md5 and non md5 tar files from cp, bl and csc. i even have both magisk and odin on their latest firmware version. But every time Odin would make an Auth fail and ive soft bricked this phone a total of 3 times already. Am I missing a step? so far ive followed all samsung exceptions, is this different or has anyone ever rooted an s21 before that could tell me. And before everyone asks, im using the OEM usb that came in the box.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dodgebizkit:
I've had both phones for a long time, since they came out.

The iPhone is my daily driver and honestly I love it.

The pixel is my work phone and I also love it.

I was all-in on Android until the pandemic hit and I bought an iPad mini, and really started to like it much more than my much more expensive galaxy tab S6, and I ended buying an iPhone SE to try out as it was cheap.

I soon ditched my Huawei Mate 20 pro for an iPhone 12 pro when my upgrade came, and used the SE as my work phone, and decked my house out with Apple products (MacBook, speakers, watch, m1 iPad air etc) and have been a full on apple user for a few years, though I still have the galaxy tab.

I upgraded the iPhone to the 14 pro Max, wanting a larger phone. I then saw a great deal for a pixel 7 Pro, making it very cheap if I traded in my other iPhone.

I've found that the pixel (with a magsafe case lol, once you get used to magsafe you can't be without it) is faster and more fluid in daily use than the iPhone. The iPhone has the a16 bionic chip that's infinitely more powerful but the pixel feels faster.

The pixel screen is the same size but feels bigger when watching media on it, it feels more immersive. I can happily watch movies on it without moving to the iPad mini but if I use the iPhone I feel I want to move over to the iPad.

I have way better widgets on the pixel, although Apple widgets are good, they're lacking in comparison.

The pixel is lighter and easier to hold.

I'm waiting for both iOS 17 and Android 14 to be released before I make a final decision, because ultimately I would be losing the synchronicity with my other devices, iMessage and such from my main device if I switch, but I'm genuinely considering moving over to the pixel as my main phone.

I don't like it when people are so closes minded as to say "isheep and crapple sux lol" or "lagdroid is trash" - they're both great in their own way and both have flaws, so any inevitable stupid comments hating without reason will be ignored, but outside of those, I'd love to read anyone else's experiences and opinions with both the pixel and iPhone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] esjames:
I just made the same move, 14 pro max to the pixel 7 pro. No regrets here.

Both platforms have their advantages, but I guess the main driving point for me to switch (and wife) was our iMessages would randomly stop working for no reason. Verizon support was no help at all either, saying just turn on airplane mode and turn it back off. Yeah we will miss facetime, but android does have video calls so no big deal there. Also I was using google services on my iphone so it was more natural just to go back to android. Also another thing you can't do on iphone is flash roms, I really missed that part too :)

I say it's more personal preference.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] CurtisAndroid5:
I was with Android since the G5 and followed it all the way through until OP flagships/P20 - Had one iPhone during that period (iPhone 4). I moved to IOS when the X came out as I was given it as a work phone.

I stuck with Apple since then and my 14 Pro Max is still a fantastic device that just works out the box, however it needed a camera repair last month so I ended up buying a Pixel 7 Pro to rekindle that old flame.

The Pixel 7 Pro is now my daily device and I've already replaced the likes of iCloud with Google One - Only thing I miss is how fluid every app is and ofc iMessage (The missus isn't a fan of using WhatsApp and Messenger whatsoever). But yeah I think I'll be sticking with Android again here on out- Nice to see how far the OS has came since ICS/Jelly Bean. I got the Pixel on a 'Switch up' plan at a very good price so will likely just upgrade every year and keep the 14 Pro Max as a backup/spare phone.

I thought I'd miss IOS more to be honest!

Also noting that we have AirPods, numerous iPads, Macbooks, Apple Watches etc etc in the house too but there's just something nice and familiar about being back on Android.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jake.99x3:
I made the switch from jailbroken iphone 12 on iOS 14 to my Pixel. Having root access is a must for me and the jailbreak scene is just about dead; I don't see this changing anytime soon so I will stick with Pixel.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] robbbzilla:
I really don't understand the crazy dedication to one platform?

I completely agree and understand your point. Both iOS and Android are good in their unique ways.

I traded in my iPhone 13 Pro Max and I was sort of in a bind with the iPhone (long story of t mobile terrible customer service and a locked iPhone) so I did the trade.

It has been several months and now I am considering the Pixel 8 Pro instead of a iPhone 15.

There are three things that need to be improved on the Pixel 7 Pro. Overall performance of the G2 chip, battery life, curved screen.

The Tensor G2 is is fine most of the time but there are times where it heats up for no reason and it can drain battery quickly. It could be a little faster in some tasks and a flat screen would make a tempered glass screen protector so much easier.

Well the Pixel 8 Pro might just solve all of those issues.

Overall though as it is the Pixel 7 Pro has been a delight to use. It has it's quirks but nothing that has been a deal breaker.

I do miss the ease of iMessage, air drop and Facetime on the phone. The communication between devices is pretty much the best on the Apple side.

I think the thing is with iOS, Apple needs to get back to making the fundamentals super reliable again. Stop adding features no one knew they needed and bring Siri up to speed on AI. Call screening on an iPhone would be much more impressive than solid state buttons.

I like Apple but I don't see them getting to a place I would like to see them at least for another year. Maybe iPhone 16 will have all the hardware improvements and software improvements to get me back on iphone but for now I am enjoying the Pixel too much.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ghoster76:
Pixel 7 Pro was just crap!

I am furious with the Pixel 7 Pro phone. The volume button just fell off for a month without accessory for replacement, without any reason or warning. This is unacceptable for a phone that costs so much money and claims to be of high quality. How am I supposed to adjust the volume now? Do I have to use a toothpick or something? This is ridiculous and frustrating. This phone is defective and poorly designed. I regret buying it and I will never buy a Pixel phone again.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
Sometimes things break! Nature of the beast. You could buy ANY phone at ANY price and have something break. That's why there are warranties. I know it sucks to even have to deal with such things but it is what it is. Good luck on your next OEM purchase.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dodgebizkit:
Yeah you can't really write them off for one (admittedly frustrating) breakage, especially if you are able to get a repair or replacement under the warranty.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
That's kinda like swearing off & never buying a LG or Sony OLED TV because the channel or power button on the remote broke off..........
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] nickelghandi:
I have both a Pixel 7 Pro and an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I skipped the 14 pro max in hopes of USB C with the 15.

The pixel is better in many ways and I use it for work, but the build quality feels cheap and fragile and the giant camera bump is annoying. That aside it is a much more feature rich phone as any android would be. I don’t take photos with my phone and run GrapheneOS on the pixel anyway as I can’t have Google apps on my work phone. USB C, side loading apps, and many other android things make the pixel ideal for me for work.

The biggest issue that keeps me from using the pixel for personal use is the audio quality from the speakers. It sounds tinny and weak compared to the iPhone. It was present on standard Google Android too so it’s not just a GrapheneOS thing. It’s sort of a nit picky thing and I know most people don’t listen to anything through their phone speakers but I frequently do if I’m just sitting on the couch listening to a podcast or some lower fidelity music. The audio quality on calls is better when not using speakerphone but the iPhone is still much better in terms of clarity and depth.

I had a Pixel 5 before the 7 pro and the audio was even worse with the in-screen speaker. The 7 pro has improved significantly but still doesn’t hold a candle to the iPhone. If I had to choose, I’d go with the iPhone and only use a laptop for field work instead of the pixel 7 pro.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
I don't question the build quality of the iPhone. But Android is better than iOS...IMO.

If Apple would allow people to truly configure their phones as freely as Android does then I would be interested. Until then I will stick with Android.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] robbbzilla:
I don't question the build quality of my Pixel 7 Pro because I can feel it is a good phone. Is my volume button going to come off? I sure hope not but that is why I have a warranty.

I love how it is speaker volume that is the problem with the Pixel 7 Pro? I had the same two phones and the Pixel 7 Pro doesn't sound as good as the iPhone 13/14 Pro Max or the s23 ultra but it is not far behind them either. In fact I think the speakers on the 7 Pro are pretty good. Not something I would complain about?

iPhone still has a better feeling product overall. It has slightly better speakers and a faster processor and it cost a lot more depending on the model.

That being said the Pixel 7 Pro is easy to hold, feels light for such a large phone.

We will see what the prices look like for the iPhone 15 and what the product delivers in real life. I don't see myself coming back to Android iPhone until they at least implement a call screening feature. We will also see what is in store for the Pixel 8. Might be a good time to switch to a Pixel??
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] albsat:
The main thing I don't like is Sound quality from Pixel which is just bad. Much worse than Xiaomi 10t pro.
