How many Gmail accounts do you have?

The easiest way if that system permits it would have been to delete the Google account before you did a factory reset or at least with my device if you do a factory reset in device settings it should not invoke FRP after the reset. Of course you need to known the password to delete the Google account first. At least that way you don't get locked out after too many attempts.

The easiest way is to conjure up the correct email address and password. There are methods if you do a Google search. To search XDA simply add that at the end of the search phrase. They are somewhat of a pain and may not work. Here's one:

Good afternoon friends, I bought a Chinese central from the CS Navi store, on AliExpress (https://a.aliexpress.com/_mr7F9BA). In the central menu suggested an Android update, it restarted to install and entered a loop, the Android icon appears and restarts. I contacted the seller to see if there is a reset procedure, but he is telling me that it is damaged and will need to be replaced, send to China for this. I wanted to try to solve it without sending it, as it will take days and I will have more expenses with the import. Is there any procedure I can try to recover? thanks in advance.

Similar problem here https://xdaforums.com/t/soarcomer-a...nto-recovery-and-update-old-firmware.4602351/

Boot loop after update, keeps restarting in the android logo screen. Cannot enter recovery mode, cannot find original firmware, seller suggested to send replacement morherboard.

Any help? Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] Ricardoblb:
hello, apparently it's the same multimedia, I couldn't recover, the seller informed me that the only way is to change the mainboard, he doesn't want to send me the firmware.

Just interested if anybody switched from S23 series to the Sony 1V and was it a good choice ? I'm on o2 switch up and have had majority of the latest flagships but particularly focusing on S23 series I've had all 3 variants and I find samsung photo processing horrid colours over saturated not true to what I'm seeing etc not to mention all the other issues the series has and not really any better since this big June update that I was waiting for to see if improved before making the decision on the Sony 1V it's been a long time since owning a Sony and quite frankly scared 😱, it looks the boss on paper and from YT vids pictures look much more natural and obviously the camera app is far superior to most point and shoot cams if wanted , would I be making a good choice ? Tia
[Sony Xperia 1 V] SALL666PL:
I'll let you know next week what it looks like, my friend has a s23 and the Xperia 1V is to come to me in a few days and I'll see what works better :p

Sorry for my English but I'm using a translator
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Deleted member 2496007:
I have arrived at this phone after 3 disastrous mid-tier phones, but before that my mains were a Galaxy Note 8 and then a Galaxy Note 10+.

The Sony does not have the bazillion settings that a flagship Samsung has. There is no Bixby Routines. You cannot schedule power saving modes or rebooting once a week. You can't theme the UI from a marketplace with thousands of options.

Also as you are focusing on the camera, the basic auto mode is OK but tends to overexpose especially indoors. It expects you to know a little bit about how to get the most out of it. There are savable presets through, plus a setting to remember camera modes between camera app uses.

My Note 10+ would simply de-saturate every photo, so I got used to bumping saturation back up in the photos I wanted to share.

However, if you want to put a bit of time into playing with the settings to get the best point-and-click substitute then you will get close to the Samsung convenience. Put a bit more time in and the results are amazing. The colours are natural and I regularly end up with a photo that looks exactly like the scene before me. Also the video recorded at 4K@120 with the S-Cinetone mode can't be touched by any other phone ATM. It is godlike video recording. Just be ready for 1 minute = 1GB files!
[Sony Xperia 1 V] DoobyDroid:
Couldn't deal with Samsung any longer so went for it and picked up the 1V 256GB Black today from local O2 store , first impression it's nice to hold in hand very light, snappy os , and just from quick few basic mode pics can already see a difference pictures look natural can't wait to dive into pro mode , the only downside to this phone it feels very cheap and plastic bezels and back for a £1300 phone it's definitely not premium feel like you get from Samsung's this probably keeps weight down so simple trade off suppose screen is nice and had a os update out the box talking of boxes no usb cable as well as no charger now you would think for £1300 they could at least give you a usb lead lol 😂
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Haldi4803:
Would lose money if they included charger and cable...

Or maybe that's bad for environment?

Anyway.

I kinda like the Backside of the phone. Had a lot of grip. Prefer this over any glass back side.

What I dislike is the 21:9 aspect ratio.

The keyboard is WAY smaller than my old phone. So I always preys the wrong keys ^^

You don't have that issue?

Also I detest the Camera!

Every time you open the app the Zoom Camera zooms in and out and it vibrates.

That is sooooooo annoying....
[Sony Xperia 1 V] DoobyDroid:
Personally I think keyboard is actually ok I have fat fingers and considering aspect ratio im finding it fine so far , yes the back is excellent for grip but defeats objective as likely to slap a case on it so pointless but definitely better than glass

As for camera auto adjusting zoom when opening app it's probably a feature you may be able to turn off in the settings maybe personally not bothered might just be the way the lense re sets it self ready to shoot , who knows a little investigation into that might give a better answer than my guess lol
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Haldi4803:
I'm pretty sure it's auto adjusting lens.

It's just annoying that it does that even when you use ANY other app that has access to the camera but does not use the zoom camera.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] mufunyo:
You realise the back is textured Gorilla Glass Victus and the sides are ribbed aluminium right? The camera lenses are sapphire. I don't know how much more premium you want it, lmao.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] DoobyDroid:
Really doesn't feel like it lol very light hats of to Sony 😁
[Sony Xperia 1 V] decomposed:
Well the fact the phone is light is very positive.

What I do not like is cutting the cost on back. Instead of Victus 2 it is using older cheaper generation...

21:9 is annoying and too narrow in fact.

If they still want to keep it they should increase overall size to 6.7", in such a case still it would be 21:9 but not that narrow anymore. Just too tall :/
[Sony Xperia 1 V] decomposed:
Sony should have 6.7" screen if they want to keep this idd 21:9.

It would be a bit wider allowing to add bigger sensors. Main camera requires 1" but especially both ultrawide and zoom ones need to have bigger sensors too. Especially zoom pictures are bad...

For ultrawide another improvement is needed. I stead of 16mm it should be 12mm to really benefit from wide picture of nature.

Smooth zoom is fine but range is too small.

Combined with lack of quality the zoom camera is not that much useful. Competition gives better quality here.

Where is macro mode???
[Sony Xperia 1 V] vancecwtan:
Funnily enough I'm sticking to Sony for exactly the opposite reason. The narrowness is just great to grip in the hand and still being able to operate the phone with 1 hand. 21:9 on a phone is godsend.

I believe your hands are big therefore you have an issue with the form factor. However I think due to the very niche market of this phone, it is also quite unlikely Sony will produce more sizes of the Xperia.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Robot76:
Yeah nah, I agree with vancecwtanI too, I didn't feel anything cheap plastic either.. It felt immediately metal in my hands... In fact the housing was the first thing that impressed me..., nope, no plastic to speak, just don't drop it on the pavement like I did (evil eye jealousy me thinks taking pro photos, heart skipped a beat), silver aluminum was immediately seen!!! haha, that surface paint comes off, luckily no lenses were scratched, and my case arrived after the fact which I'm going to review here soon. I wonder if you rubbed off all the paint, you'd end up with a silver phone?

This phone's design is supreme. The attention to details, such as the grained shutter button...

I'm a bit of an Audiophile, and I needed that 3.5 port too...

I do like the fact of it's height, as I use multi-window "all" the time... I did my entire BA in multi-window on the phone to my dean's shock, and geneaology hobby that made short work. I also use Brave app alongside Brave Beta app too...

I've had lots of consecutive Sony's since Z3C, and all I can say is it has fixed all my previous nags and pet hates.

Rant:

I gave my wife a Samsung, and I hadn't used it before until yesterday to fix a game app that went virus, which I reported to Google. Samsung has one million settings all over the place, talk about unorganized mess, where you can't find anything, then you realize that they're pretty much the same settings?... Useful things to do with basic app control were tedious and were not where they should be, I asked Microsoft AI how to de-Samsung Android non-root, and it said you can't, haha... It seems like Samsung and Windows share similar philosophies in regards settings design.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] patrickt:
From what I've read there is no macro mode but this video is on YouTube:
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Robot76:
Yes, I've discovered this macro like zoom, when I was trying to read miniature writing product information... 😅

I discovered that taking photos of poppies from a distance, that the petals became transparent...
[Sony Xperia 1 V] decomposed:
This is no where near proper macro mode...
[Sony Xperia 1 V] patrickt:
First, a bit of my point of view. I'm 82, I've been enjoying taking photos since 1962. For me, it's a hoot. Second, I'm not a pixel peeper. I look at photographs. I appreciate Edward Weston's comment on his portrait or President Orozco which had a bit of camera shake when it said, "It is practically acceptable." Third, when I carried a bag of lens around not a one was a macro lens.

I am also blessed with not being an early adapter or someone who doesn't bother looking at reviews before buying. If I'm spending over $1000 I usually know what I'm getting. My Xperia 1 V is currently on the way and what I'm getting is Photography Pro. I love the software and the hardware is, for me, adequate.

I've enjoyed my previous Xperia phones, I enjoy my current Xperia 5 III and I suspect I will enjoy the Xperia 1 V. If there had been an Xperia 5 IV or V with the 80-105 and with the new sensor I would have bought it instead of the 1 V.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] merc50:
Interesting, what apps do you use for that? I haven't used multi window that much. Sometimes I'll use browser or youtube with google notes.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Robot76:
Mostly I work above and read below

MS Word + PDF, Standard Notes, and Webrowser.

Ancestry + Webrowser (GENI).

Brave browser (GENI)+ Brave browser BETA (GENI).

Facebook + ChatGPT, Quora, Standard Notes.

In conjunction with XClipper

(previous preferred clipboard managers just aren't working or being updated anymore).

The current default Multi-screen (sidesense disabled) isn't working as quick as plain GSI Android in older models, but it does have the advantage of sliding what you want where you want it, but does feel like an extra touch and one delay.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] merc50:
Nice, seems like you put multi-window to good use. Work above and read below makes sense.

I haven't used standard notes, keep notes seems alright for me, I've been meaning to try MS onenote.

No, you didn't state your device is the SM-S9180, you wrote "mine works". Answer what questions? I don't need help, I was looking to help the OP by clarifying what you meant.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] varcor:
Check two separate settings, 1st is in battery settings, turn on 5G. 2nd is in developer options, 5G Network Mode. There are 3 distinct settings, try all 3.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Damien3187:
Hi man yes 5g is available in my area at a speed of 500 mbps in my dads mi 11x so Im sure its the phone
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Damien3187:
Yeah bro I tried this as well no luck
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Damien3187:
do you also have SM-S9180 and do you also live in India as well bro

I do have the SM-S9180 (CSC - BRI) on TMobile however I'm in the US. I have 5G, no issues, works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
Isn't this device US based? Could it be that the bands are different? I have a UAE based device and Jio 5g works great on my device.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] varcor:
What is the CSC on your device? If it's CHC or TGY you might try flashing BRI Firmware, they're interchangeable.

Are you sure you bought your device from an authorised source? AFAIK, UAE devices are SM-S918B/DS

Bro can you confirm whether you are also in the same csc
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
My CSC is XSG which is the one for UAE. From your CSC, it seems your device is from either of these locations - China, Taiwan, Hong Kong.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hoss_n2:
Your device is a Chinese/ Taiwan/ Hongkong device , install samfw on your pc and it will show three csc codes , change between them and see which will work with 5g at your country
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Damien3187:
There was only two available in the CS in samfw BRI/ TGY tried both and they didn't work Im not getting 5g
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hoss_n2:
Ok try flashing the Chinese firmware , then change csc to china , I think this will work since Chinese devices have 5G support in India

Hello guys.

I bought an used car (Hyundai Creta GLS 1.6 2018 AUT) and it have an android stereo. The thing was that it has the account of the last owner as principal, so i did a factory reset, and then all went to hell.

Now when i turn on my car, the android logo takes much more time to load and when the device is on, it only shows a black screen, and an image of what it seems is the main screen but it only last less then a 1/4 of a second and the position of it is all unbalance and out of the physical screen. the buttons doesnt work, when i touch it nothing happens. It has a button that sais SMART, when i push it opens the configuration window. So i tried to make a new factory reset to see if that solves the problem but... there is no keyword on the screen to complete the password or to connect to wifi or anything that needs the keyword to work. IS there any way to solve this?

I have tried to connect a physical keyboard on the USB drive, doesnt work

I´ve tried to change the language of the keyboard, nothing happens.

The next step is to take it to the workshop but is there something else i can do?
[Android Head-Units] forkboy92:
Also i dont exaxctly now what android stereo is but here are the specs from the configuration menu:

Processor type: Quadcore-R16 1.6 G

MCU version 5.3.19

System version 4.5.10

I'm trying to get all the contacts, calendar events, and text messages from this phone. It's a Gabb Z5157V phone so there is no way to download any apps to do this. I don't have a computer that I can use but I have an Android tablet and a USB-C cable. The tablet recognizes the phone and can access it for file transfers but it doesn't give access to the system files on the phone. Any ideas on how I can backup this data?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
AFAIK a TWRP for this phone ( Android 10 ) exists, hence flash this recovery and then backup via TWRP.

[General Questions and Answers] OhioGuy12:
The phone I'm working on has Gabb's latest software installed, build 23. I haven't looked into this in a while, but I'm fairly certain they have blocked/patched/fixed any security "holes" that would allow me to flash a new recovery or rom onto it. Correct me if I am mistaken here?

If I am wrong, how would one go about flashing twrp onto it? I'll have to look again but I think I saw an option in the recovery to flash from an SD card.

Also, I prefer to do this backup without modifying the phone. If I can flash twrp, is there a way to flash it back to stock afterwards?
[General Questions and Answers] sinisterchaos22:
Have you enabled USB/Wifi debugging on it? There might be some things that can be backed up through ADB. If not, I know a way you can backup your contacts and calendar events. The contacts and calendar apps both have an option to send contacts and events as .vcard and .vcalendar files. If you send all of your contacts and events to any number, you can select the attachments and download them to your phone. After that, you can move them to your other PC or phone, and it should be able to open.
[General Questions and Answers] OhioGuy12:
They disabled USB debugging. I can tap the build number in the settings a million times and nothing happens.

I don't know if adb works but I think USB debugging has to be enabled to use it, right? Maybe adb would work while booted into recovery. But since I don't have a computer, I'm not sure how to do that. The android tablet probably could do it, I just don't know how.

Thanks for the idea of sending the calendar and contacts. I did not think of that. However, I can't find a way to do it. So I'm guessing they also removed that functionality.
[General Questions and Answers] sinisterchaos22:
1. If you enabled USB debugging in a older version, then updated to a newer version that blocks developer settings, you should still be able to still use ADB.

2. ADB is extremely limited in recovery mode, so I don't think you can do a backup there.

3. What does your messaging app look like? Does it say "Gabb Messenger", or does it just say "Messaging" on the app's icon? This should work if it says "Messaging" on it.
[General Questions and Answers] OhioGuy12:
1. When I got this phone, it had build 16 (I think) and USB debugging/developer mode was always removed/disabled from the software. That was one of the first things I checked when I got it.

2. I haven't even been able to get adb to recognize the device. Nothing shows when I enter "adb devices"

3. It has the Gabb Messenger, which is absolutely horrible btw. I didn't want any of this crap but Gabb forced an update without my permission. The update broke almost everything on the phone. That's why I'm trying to get my data off the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] sinisterchaos22:
Okay, I am sorry, but there is no free way to get your data off.

But, if you have your parents pay for the Gabb Cloud subscription service, it will backup your data to the cloud so you can sync it to a new gabb device. I do not believe there is any way to download this data from a non-gabb device, though.
[General Questions and Answers] OhioGuy12:
Free is good, but I could pay if that were an option.

The Gabb Cloud service is free and I have it. Except, like everything else Gabb has programmed, it doesn't work. The app says it's backing up the data but just stays on that screen indefinitely and never actually backs up anything. I called them and they suggested doing a factory reset to resolve this. As in completely delete all my data before it's backed up. Yeah, I'm not doing that.
[General Questions and Answers] sinisterchaos22:
Well, I'm sorry to say this, there is only one more option.

Manually write down all the information for the contacts and calendars.

For text messages, though, there isn't a way to save those.
[General Questions and Answers] OhioGuy12:
Yeah I've been slowly trying to do that but there's just way too much, so it could take months. And I still lose my text messages 😩

There's always a way, we just don't know what it is 🤔

Hello everyone:)

Is it possible to somehow make smaller notification bar without root?

I enabled developer options and changed width to 500, with that the whole interface is smaller and looks better for me, but what with notification bar?

I also tried to change display cutout to waterfall and it worked but not without problems - if you pick that option than there are two very bright lines on both sides of the screen when phone is locked and everything seems to be out of center
