[General Questions and Answers] BigLisy:
Hello,

I just switched from my trusty old OnePlus 6T, I haven't had kept much up to date with things and I was recently gifted a Realme 11 Pro+.

I realize I am too used to having AdAway cover all bases when it comes to ads globally across the phone.

I can't seem to find any info AT ALL about rooting this Realme, like there's not even a forum category for that model (or even somewhat older ones) on XDA, which sounds very odd to me, as I remember XDA having all of the information about everything.

Are Realme notoriously hard to root or simply mess around with? Or has it just become more rare to root phones nowadays and so there's this big lack for resources about the topic?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Slim K:
Realme devices are notoriously a hassle to work with. In order to unlock the Bootloader officially, you need a special Apk from the manufacturer called: In-depth testing. In order to obtain this Apk from them, they need to release it willingly first for your model. Even if you do obtain it, you need to submit a request through that Apk for review. and guess what? That could take hours or days or weeks or months or years to be approved, if not refused for no reason. (they claim a limited amount of devices can be unlocked, I call bull crap). Now add to that the fact that these devices ship with MTK chip-sets, which are famous for its difficulty to develop for (no sources from Mediatek cuz no GPL compliance/china) and you end up with no interest on XDA and elsewhere.

Older Realme devices (older than 2021) with older MTK CPUs can be bypassed using MTKclient (security holes), but your device uses the MT6877V/Dimensity 7050, which is from the end of 2022. So yeah, without a Download Agent (DA) for your specific device, you will have no luck rooting or doing anything. Search the internet for the APK and hope it will be released by realme or forget about it. Sorry :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] BigLisy:
Damn, that's terrible news. Oh well, I guess the battery lasting a lot more than my 1h SoT OP6T will be a good compromise lol.

Thanks for the info!

Here are the changes that Beta 2 addresses...

"Samsung says the new One UI 6.0 beta update for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 addresses a number of problems that have caused apps to crash in certain scenarios. The official changelog reads as follows:

Fixed the terminated issue when entering text with S Pen on Samsung Note.

Fixed the display issue when resizing after changing orientation in 3 multi-window.

Fixed the Taskbar not displayed intermittently.

Fixed the terminated issue when applying photo Portrait effect in Gallery.

Fixed issue where Apps and Widgets that are set up at Home disappear.

Many other improvements.

As far as known issues go, Samsung confirms that the new firmware hasn't addressed a number of other force-closing problems concerning the Camera, One UI Home, Systemui, and Smart Select Crop.

In addition, there's a problem with the new Quick Panel, where users may see an empty screen. The “home” navigation bar gesture doesn't work sometimes, and the home screen can experience some errors."

Thank you here for everything

Time to backup and force reflash everything. Partitions need updated
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Are you sure it's local storage low and you're not backing up to drive that might be low (so it can't save)? Check your backup options but as I reread this, it might also be a 14 issue. Take it with a grain of salt but once I read storage low, it made me think of drive.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] erickkhhk:
Yes , I am sure it is local storage low. I seldom use Drive and it have 3GB of 15GB used up to now only.

I think even the Drive low don't cause me unable to install apps ？
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] erickkhhk:
No one have same issues after update？

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fil3s:
If you have a 128gb variant 6pro, you need smart storage turned on. Check out this link to the files app

Also, I know sdmaid costs, but it's well worth it. I haven't bought sdmaid se yet, but I've still the og sdmaid.

Edit: to use smart storage you'll need to head over to playstore and purchase a minimal subscription to drive as 128gb is not enough for anyone.

My Diamond always got problem with message, when you goto message, you wish to reply or create new, the phone came out blank white screen w/o anything. Anyone encounter such problem, pls help???

I always need to hard reset to make it work again. Anyone who got solutions on this problem, please post your help. THANK YOU

Try flashing a new ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kcinc:
Any chance you're using a custom text input thingy? On my diamond. I have "CE-Star" chinese text input software installed. And when that software expired, the SMS / email screen came out all blank too. There wasn't any error messages etc also. It was just blank. And the text came back when I registered the software.

Or you could just try uninstalling stuff. Maybe it was something you installed. eg. trial s/w ?

OK.. Not sure if this is what you're looking for. But yup. Cheers.

I had a few G4s and 2 boot looped and they were both on serial number 500 Something, Then I got A 600 Serial number that did not boot loop but got a glitch that When you don't heat up the phone it will have static going half across the screen and you see only see half of the screen.
[Google Pixel 7] mugendon:
Just read that the Pixel 8s face unlock got a security class upgrade so that it can now be used with google pay. Is it possible to upgrade the class on the Pixel 7 also? Not the security itself (that is fine for me, couldn't fool it with pictures or videos), but just its type so that it can be used with more apps like gpay.
[Google Pixel 7] simplepinoi177:
I was thinking that this wouldn't work out or is possible because I had believed the Pixel 8 had particular hardware (much like the Pixel 4 or iPhones) that accomplishes this....

But after re-reading the article I randomly read on this

And since we also have a Tensor, I have to admit it's quite possible...!!

[Moto G40 / G60] castleofiron:
I deleted some files that made the g60 crash then i restarted the phone which just stays on Motorola logo.

I know i can get the device by reflashing the rom, but the data is necessary.

The device is still stock, bootloader locked.

Is there any way that i can the the backup of device, phone gets detected in fastboot, there is no adb access.
[Moto G40 / G60] xdauser1620:
How do you delete files? What files deleted? Did you root unofficial way? You can do dirty flash that not deletes your data then after booting into Android you can save you files. Use a custom bat for fastboot and remove the commands that would erase data. Dirty flash back the same software version that your phone use.
[Moto G40 / G60] castleofiron:
I wasn't trying to root, i specifically don't remember what got deleted.

The thing is I need the all app data and some of the files that are stored in storage, someone suggested me to get the whole snapshot of storage but I don't know how.
[Huawei P50 Pro] nioBee:
Hello all,

I have recently bought a Global version P50 Pro (model JAD-LX9 with Emui 12.0.1.316), since I really need to use Google Apps I decided to do a rebrand of my phone and now the model is JAD-AL00 updated to Harmony Os 4.0.0.116

I have searched everywhere on this forum and online for a working step by step guide on how to install natively GMS on my phone.. but none of them worked for me.

Now I might have found the best solution to install GMS on Harmony 4!!

I followed this tutorial two days ago (11 of october), and everything is working flawlessly up to now.. no errors, no notification issues or whatsoever.

Here the video with all the steps to reproduce:

It's in chinese (I think), but fortunately there are subtitles wich can easily be translated directly by Youtube.

The actual istallation process starts after ca 8 minutes from the beginning and finishes after approx 25 minutes, then in the second half of the video it is shown how to enable app notifications disabling all kind of errors.

Please note, during the explanation, at approx 17:25 min , you can choose to install google services framework v10 or v12, I chose "V12-Google Services Framework_12", because the app "Device Info" informed me that my system is based on Android 12 Snow Cone.

Let me know if it worked for you too. :love:(y)
[Huawei P50 Pro] ZG_DEV:
Wow

Thank you for this guide 🙏
[Huawei P50 Pro] nioBee:
{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}

Sorry but I don't agree with you, I saw this guide but decided not to use it because I want to use Playstore not Aurora or others.. With the guide I posted earlier you don't need to stop playstore, the phone works perfecly as if Google was pre-installed..

Only some apps don't work (but it is the same in almost all guides)

-no google pay or wallet

-no mc donalds

-no google auto (in fact I did not check this one because my car doesn't support google auto)

I've been using my phone for one week now, have installed more than 50 apps and can really say it's like using my old P30 Pro (with native google).

Does this work for google wallet too?

My wallet was working fine on harmony os 3 with gsm installed natively. After upgrade to v4 all google apps still work fine, but the google wallet says the phone is rooted (which it isn't).
[Huawei P50 Pro] nioBee:
No I'm sorry, no google wallet/google Pay

The only way I found to use a contactless payment method here in Italy is to get a curve card and to use it with my NFC Xiaomi Mi Band... all other apps I tried did not work.

I you live in a supported area you can use Huawei Wallet, in my case none of my bank cards were supported.

[Google Pixel 8] chuccck:
Using syncthing, I was able to transfer photos taken on my Pixel 6 Pro then Pixel 7 to my Pixel XL where they would be backed up to google photos with unlimited storage. That is not working for me on the Pixel 8. The photos show up in google photos on the pixel 8 but are not backed up. they do not show in google photos on the pixel XL. I tested the pixel 7 this morning and it works as expected. Any one else expierience this or have the unlimited backup working for pixel 8 photos?
[Google Pixel 8] V0latyle:
Are you rooted with Magisk and do you have Lsposed installed?
[Google Pixel 8] chuccck:
no root
[Google Pixel 8] V0latyle:
That's why. You can't use that mod without root.
[Google Pixel 8] chuccck:
I guess i miss communicated. Syncthing runs fine without root. Has worked on multiple phones.
[Google Pixel 8] V0latyle:
Syncing, or rather Photos backup, should work regardless. However, if you're using the Pixelfy unlimited storage mod, you MUST use it with Magisk.
[Google Pixel 8] chuccck:
I think the confusion is I was using syncthing, an app that syncs files between devices without need for root. Any photos uploaded from pixel xl are considered unlimited storage. It's worked on all other pixels, but pixel 8 is being tricky. So far the only way to get it to work is use a folder inside dcim/camera
[Google Pixel 8] pol5xc:
It's working for me with the pixel 5.
[Google Pixel 8] simplepinoi177:
I think the misunderstanding is that OP is not using the module, but something called SyncThing to transfer photos/videos to a literal Pixel XL (for the feature) -- honestly I've read/considered doing something similar. So root may not be necessary...

I would try and get in contact with the dev of syncthing and let them know of the issue. Maybe it'll be updated and soon enough....you'll probably have to go without it for the time being until/if it happens....

That's cool....OP kinda already confirmed that it was still working as intended on OP's Pixel 7, so it would be assumed that it's also working on Pixel 5. It's more specifically for Pixel 8...
[Google Pixel 8] pol5xc:
I mean I have a Pixel 8 and I'm using syncthing to sync my photos with my Pixel 5 which also has unlimited backup (albeit only in high resolution) and it's working so this is not something specific to the pixel 8, so I'm not sure this is a syncthing issue.
[Google Pixel 8] simplepinoi177:
I'm thinking what if it's Android 14 (on the Pixel 8) and/or Pixel XL that is causing syncthing to not work with the Pixel 8; Pixel 5 not running A14 probably is keeping it from bugging out....

If any of this turns out to be true, it would be a syncthing issue....
[Google Pixel 8] pol5xc:
Well, Pixel 5 is running Android 14.
[Google Pixel 8] simplepinoi177:
Wow....I had a Pixel 5....I wouldnt've ran the newest just yet on a dated device....

So I guess that eliminates that possibility (A14 of Pixel 8 affecting syncthing)....Thanks for confirming....

I wonder if you and OP gotta compare app or system set up to see where it differs where it works for you and not OP....
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
I did a google search for "syncthing not working on pixel 8" to check on your issue. Naturally there wasn't much for the P8 considering it is only in consumers hands for 2 - 3 days now. There has been several for Pixel users. What I came across might be of interest to you.

I seen one thread on syncthing's forum titled "android doesn't receive even with send & receive on"

where a user such as yourself was not able to sync from one device to another, he was able to receive help from someone who had him pull logs of syncthing on both phones and found one device was not pulling DNS. Considering the constant advancement in wifi and modems I wouldn't be shocked if this is your issue. While the phones in the article are pixels and considering the article goes back to 2017 it became obvious syncthing has long ongoing issues such as your having.

In either case I would of course notify the developer of Syncthing of the issue as others have done and hope he might be able to make the app more compatible and do the search as I did above and find that article and follow the instruction to see if you are having such a issue and might be able to resolve it yourself.

Good Luck, Hope you get it sorted.
[Google Pixel 8] chuccck:
thank you all for your input, I have figured it out. after I placed 1 Photo in a new folder inside the camera folder on the pixel XL as a test, google photos picked that one up and backed it up. The other photos in the main camera photo did not start backing up immediately. But several hours and multiple photos later it started backing up pictures loaded in the camera folder.

edit: this didn't work beyond the immediate setup. @LeoD @simplepinoi177
[Google Pixel 8] simplepinoi177:
I'm not singling you out or teasing you or anything....

But as I was reading your post, I read this literally, got confused, then laughed! it is a humorous concept -- "constant advancement in wife".... I just got married last year (but been together for a lot longer than a decade) so this is hilarious to me....
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
Rotflmao

It is fine I certainly know how to laugh at myself, perhaps a Freudian slip? lol

Thank you for pointing that out.. corrected.

Congrats on your marriage and wish you both the best.
[Google Pixel 8] chuccck:
@LeoD @simplepinoi177

could not get google photos on the pixel XL to reliably register new photos loaded into the camera folder. I set it up on a backup regular pixel 1 and it was quickly and reliably. not sure if there is something wrong with my pixel xl or what.
[Google Pixel 8] simplepinoi177:
I'm not reading too clearly what you're issue is exactly, so some clarification might be needed; you "set it up on a backup regular pixel 1", but if you are using the OG Pixel, why do you need to "set it up"? Are you using a module or you mean setting it up with SyncThing? So unlimited storage is working "quickly and reliably" on your Pixel XL, yet you say "not sure if something is wrong with my pixel xl"; do you mean in terms of SyncThing? Or unlimited storage?

If it's anything about SyncThing, I don't know that app or anything about it -- this thread is the first time I've heard of it. You probably would do well asking the OP or others who have spoken about it on this thread.

Good luck to you!
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
I am at a loss as to what is happening? You have already posted that you figured it out and marked the thread as solved. Is this still the same issue or something else?
[Google Pixel 8] simplepinoi177:
He's not the OP -- in which got his issue solved, so I marked the thread as [SOLVED].....

nevermind...I thought he was a different member inquiring on the same type of issue...

UPDATE

Oh, @LeoD , it seems OP instead of making a new post updated his "i solved it" post...
[Google Pixel 8] chuccck:
sorry for teh confusion. I have 2 physical OG pixel 1's, a regular pixel and a pixel xl. I have been using the pixel XL for years to load all my photos without taking up any google one storage. I used an app called syncthing-fork in the appstore to connect the camera folder on my newer pixel 8 to sync the files to the original pixel so its uploaded from the original pixel for no storage cost. This worked for my pixel 6 pro and pixel 7. I set it up on the pixel 8 and it was struggling, I was immediately worried Google caught on, but I was able to set it up from scratch on the backup pixel 1 and get it running as expected.

@LeoD see above
[Google Pixel 8] simplepinoi177:
So your below statement

To confirm and make sure/be-clear; you're inquiring why your Pixel XL isn't do it properly but your Pixel non-XL is?
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
Ahh ok, so having it setup like that and working, are you ok? If not and your still having issues with the OG pixel XL, the only thing I have come across is looking into is if synching is resolving dns.
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
Ahhhh gotcha
[Google Pixel 8] chuccck:
Yes, the PIxel XL does not recognize and backup photos in google photos while the Pixel does. The photos will not appear in google photos on the pixel xl unless I take some action like clean up space, this is not necesary on the pixel. Syncthing is not the problem, it moves everything over fine on both phones. The pixel XL has been 24/7 plugged in for a couple years now so I may have run it down. The Pixel has been off in a drawer and is fresh from reset.

For now, I am happy with everything working on the pixel. I will find a smart plug to schedule the charger on the pixel going forward. I am more just curious why the XL stopped working.
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
OK, When you say on the pixel xo unless you take some action like clean up space, are you making space on the actual phone? Is it possible that the phone does not have enough space to receive the photos? I know your not going to be thrilled with this but I thing I would try a factory reset to see if that resolves the issue. If that doesn't do it I would probably assume the memory on the pixel xl is shot

Good, at least your able to accomplish what you want with the Pixel
[Google Pixel 8] simplepinoi177:
I agree and was just about to suggest the same thing @LeoD does; would the issue still persist after factory resetting...? I mean....the Pixel XL is a 8 year old phone....it can't be a stretch to think it's age or hardware could be the culprit....like you've said, you've been running the phone plugged in non-stop...

I mean, like you said, even though it's been running nonstop, it's not like you actually use the phone. If you run it basic bare-bones -- factory reset it -- I doubt it'll impact you much as it seems all you're using it for is sort of as a "server" than a smartphone itself....
