[Google Pixel 8 Pro] somethingsomethingroot:
Mmm hmm. I might mess with it more whenever I get some time, but this isn't a regular feature I'm gonna use for now.

Sometimes that worked for me, but a few too many times it would not. Or just be visible in some areas. That's too vital a feature to be crossing my fingers for at every dock connection.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ExcessRaccoon:
It's pretty obviously a beta feature that's been in progress for ages (10 brought the first bits of desktop mode, I think 14 actually brought the freeform borders) but given a pixel can actually output video now fingers crossed were close to a release.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Sage:
im actually thinking about rooting my device just for this Display Ouput. Though from what i am hearing its not really usable - is that right?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ExcessRaccoon:
Depends on what your planning to use it for.

Without desktop mode it matches your phones aspect ratio and just mirrors it with black bars since the phone is 21:9

Enabling "force desktop mode" treats it as a seperate display and runs at the appropriate resolution and if you pair a mouse apps can be opened on and used.

It's not like dex yet. There's no way to switch between apps, you can't really get out of them either and gestures get broken while desktop mode is active so there's no going back unless the app has a button in the interface.

But if you just needed to get content on a display in a pinch you could make it work.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] StrongTexan:
Thank you! Very helpful.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] StrongTexan:
I am thinking about rooting to try this too. I have a pair of AR glasses from Viture that are very nice. I travel a lot and use them as an alternate display, primarily for media consumption, but occasionally for minor work like reviewing documents or spreadsheets.

From what I've gathered in this thread, the media consumption (i.e. watching movies) should be fine but until the desktop mode is more refined everything else will be a challenge. Does that sound about right?

Thank you to all who are posting here. I really appreciate it!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Rumsfield:
What type of connector/plug is needed for this to work?

I am trying this out with an Anker A8334 5-1 USBC hub and there is no output with just a normal hdmi cord going from the Anker to my monitor. (Running Magisk w/ the module). Am I missing something?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] swieder711:
Is there a recommendation for the USB-c to HDMI cable?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ExcessRaccoon:
Theoretically anything that supports Displayport (DP) alt mode should work.

Theoretically...
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] rsk_kelkar:
I tried connecting my Stock rooted Pixel 8 (Dec build) to both my TV and monitor via a USB-C TO HDMI cable, but always end up having the screen turned on and off on the secondary display.

I've used the said adapter cable with my laptop and a Galaxy S23 for a while now, so I know the display and adapter aren't the problem. Any suggestions?

Edit: I will upload a video tomorrow to demonstrate the behaviour

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] swieder711:
I bought this HDMI Cable https://a.co/d/5FjtWXr

which worked when connecting my P8P to my Samsung TV.

Got video, but no audio.

Has anyone figured out how to get audio when using a USB-c to HDMI cable?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] StrongTexan:
Out of curiosity, has anyone tried to enable display port alt mode without rooting?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nolimit78:
Editing the prop file requires root.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] StrongTexan:
Thank you! I thought so. I hope Google gets around to enabling this soon. I use apps that really really don't like rooted phones.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nolimit78:
No worries! Agree with ya. Silly to root for this
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ambassadordave:
I didn't do anything special and got video and audio with a very similar adapter, also an uni brand device and with both a Samsung TV and an LG TV. Shorter adapter/cable though, only about 8" with a female HDMI plug [probably this one: https://www.amazon.com/uni-Adapter-Thunderbolt-Compatible-Chromebook/dp/B075V68NVR ].

I also tried with a Baseus USB-C Docking Station. No luck with the same Pixel 8 Pro on the same TV, although it did work fine with the TV and another USB-C connected device.

Wouldn't surprise me if the connectivity issues (some adapters work, some don't, etc.) is a large part of why Google hasn't activated this code yet. My Pixel also rebooted itself once during all of my testing this.

Fully agreed though, you shouldn't need to have root to be able to turn this code on and try it!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] subdragonzj:
Can Pixel 7 Pro be used?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Eagledig:
Wow Thanks ! It works perfectly with the sound ! Thanks a lot !
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Sage:
is this needed if i go to the new Android 15 beta? or is it already enabled?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] NULLOBANDITO:
From my experience it should work in the current A15 Beta version, although still a bit janky.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] borisSweden:
Now native support already exists, root still has some benefits, like using DP mode with the screen off. Is it possible to do this without a HDMI adapter?
[Device Repair] wergio:
Suddenly my p20 powered off and i've got the red light of death :-(

tryed to reset but no results...

I teared it open, an removed the mainboard

i checked with a multimeter in continuity mode, the battery connector + and - in forward I have no short, in reverse I measure 375. Is an half short? I don't have microsoldering skill, could be solved buying a spare motherboard on ebay? thanks
[Device Repair] Renate:
Most points on a motherboard will read differently in one direction than another.

Also, resistance measurements are always telling you a half-truth.

"Please describe reality in a single number!"

Saying something has a "resistance" is presuming that it follows Ohm's law and current is proportional to voltage (over some limited range).

When you measure with a DVM and you get a reading of 1000, it's really saying, "At the voltage (or current) that I am measuring this the circuit is behaving like a 1000 ohm resistor would at this voltage (or current).

So you really have to know how exactly your DVM is working.

Usually in resistance range on a DVM the voltage is not high enough to turn on a (common) diode.

If you try to measure a diode on resistance range you will probably see "----" an open circuit.

That's why DVMs have "diode test".

Diode test works with a constant current supply and it measures the voltage across the circuit.

But more importantly, it uses a higher voltage, maybe 3V or so.

That's enough to make any diode conduct and even enough for LEDs to glow.

But, you have to know your DVM. What is the test current in diode test?

It's very often 1 or 2 milliamperes.

If it's 1 mA then a 1000 ohm resistor will generate 1V across it and the meter will read 1.000 (reads true voltage)

If it's 2 mA then a 1000 ohm resistor will generate 2V across it and the meter will read 1.000 (scales voltage by 1/2)

If it's 1 mA then a diode will generate 0.7V across it and the meter will read 0.700 (reads true voltage)

If it's 2 mA then a diode will generate 0.7V across it and the meter will read 0.350 (scales voltage by 1/2)

Work this all out.

So, your problem could be anything. Maybe battery.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ljepava:
i found this on other forum.

For anyone who cares you CAN use Skyfire on a non-cellular PDA, such as an iPaq, a Dell, etc. My father who has an iPaq wanted to listen to a local Radio station which streams online via a flash plug-in. I new IE wouldn't work so I tried Skyfire on my Mogul and sure enough it worked.

So, I installed Skyfire on his iPaq just to see what kinda error we would get and it just said it couldn't open some junk, can't remember exactly. I looked around and I found some DLLs that only the phone version of WM has. They were phone.dll and sms.dll. I dropped them into /Windows and sure enough they work!

I have pakaged Skyfire with the two DLLs here in a zip, just install the cab then drop the two DLLs in the /Windows folder.

Merry CHRISTmas!

[Sony XA2 Ultra Questions & Answers] MeblIkea:
Hi,

I got this XPeria XA2 Ultra, that can't boot. When I turn it on, the Sony logo appears, and stays forever.

I read on the internet that I can try to full discharge the battery, then charge it back again, but didn't worked.

Someone even told me that his phone auto-repaired with time (smh).

But the main way to resolve this issue is to use Xperia Companion or Flashtool, and I have a problem with both of them.

After that the repair begins, it just fail. I think that the phone auto-disconnect, then reconnect under another mode, but the green led should tell that it's still in flashmode.

Thanks!

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdub74:
I have been asked a few times, a user has installed Downloader on a firestick but for whatever reason it doesn't ask them to allow access to "Allow Downloader to access photos, media and files on your device", I have instructed them to go to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications > Downloader > Permissions then select ALLOW, but often they will say there is no Permissions option there!

This got me thinking is there a way to set the correct permissions for downloader using ADB?

In FireOS 8 I guess you could use this command below (am I correct in thinking this command would allow Downloader to Read and Write to all the necessary folders on the firestick.

cmd appops set --uid com.esaba.downloader MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE allow

Would this command work in FireOS 7 (Based on Android 9) and also FireOS6 (Based on Android 7.1.2) and maybe work on FireOS5 (Based on Android 5.1) or would you need to use a different command on these FireOS's?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer this question.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
The people you are talking to are using a Fire TV model running Fire OS 5, which does not have user permissions. Most likely they have a 1st-gen or 2nd-gen Fire TV Stick, since those are by far the most common Fire OS 5 models. Storage permission for apps was introduced in Fire OS 6. Since there are no permissions on Fire OS 5, Downloader on those devices does not prompt to "Allow" permission and there is no permission option in Settings > Applications. The Downloader app on a Fire OS 5 device already has access to all storage directories by default without needing the user to do anything.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdub74:
Thanks for the info, but if these users are using fireos6 or 7 would this command (below) still give the correct storage permission to them?

cmd appops set --uid com.esaba.downloader MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE allow
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
Sorry, but I don't know if that command works on older versions of Fire OS. But you should really just tell them to select "Clear data" for Downloader to make the permission request reappear, as shown here: https://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-reset-all-app-permission-notifications-on-amazon-fire-tv-firestick/

If they clear data and still don't see the permission request, then they are 100% on Fire OS 5 and don't need to allow any permission to use Downloader. You can also ask them to install the "Informer" app to verify they are on Fire OS 5.

Hi!

Have you tried to restore the original with Odin? I also had problems with my Note8 when installing LineageOS 20. I then simply flashed the original first and then Lineage again. So it worked.

Can the data partition be formatted in TWRP? The original is encrypted and must first be formatted. However, I think that something is wrong with the BOOT. I'm not a real expert, but by flashing the original has usually been eliminated many errors. ;)

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] phidias81:
Hello I've bought a second hand A2 light 3 months ago as my main and only phone. Since the beginning it was not particularly smooth, bad ram management, etc. But now it's getting really laggy, so rather then reset and repeat I'm looking into Custom ROM alternatives, but I see no real option! Can you help me?

I've read many threads and it looks like any Custom Rom has his problem: battery drainage, gps, call recording, camera, banking, app, etc

I'm not looking for any special feature or customization. I'm just looking to have a working and smooth phone that I don't have to reset every 2 months. It can be based also on Android 10, I don't mind having the latest release. Any suggestions?

Reading the discussions, it looks like Havoc 4.19, Syberia 12 or Syberia A11 v4.9 with sleepy kernel are some of the ROM suggested as stable, but then reading the comments they all have some flaws!

I would like everything to work, but in particular:

long battery

smooth and not laggy

gps

camera + dual camera

screeshots

fingerprint reader

dual sim

SD reader

banking apps

encrypting

wa + fb

Any option or should I give up? Thank you!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Peter1212:
What is up with people advising against decryption nowadays or rom devs not ever making any attempts at giving that choice to users at all?

I am not against encryption and no offense to people who want to keep their devices encrypted. Heck I'll love to have my device encrypted and data protected just as much as others if it didn't come at the risk of losing literally everything just because of a ****ing misstep.

Spoiler content hidden.

TLDR;

Please make suggestions for meeting this criteria (Device - Xiaomi Mi11x)

- Decrypted Rom by default. (highly preferred)

- Roms that respect disable force encryption toggle. (I'm not even sure what toggle is this, I'm not on OF but hoping this can be a toggle that stays permanently on and isn't something that flashes dfe separately)

- Way to just disable force encryption in the Rom before flashing

On that behalf, I'd also really just want a rom that's RW by default. I'm not against flashing stuff up but these basic things are something I'd just want in the rom itself. Encryption is the most important though, it sucks that just a single misstep now can just make you lose all your **** now. And no, I don't frequently update my roms. I would but this constant struggle to fight against encryption is beyond me. I also don't change roms frequently either. That's not me. I would update my **** quarterly (3-4 months span) but otherwise I just stick with a single rom.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lukasz_m:
You can compile image by yourself - the most of the ROMs share sources.

K I've been battling this thing for quiet sometimes now. . Posted before no help. I e gotten more info but still can't identify. Think it's garbage now but hey I've been wrong before. Bought of a guy on ebay. No Info. Went into a boot loop. I've figured out it's a t3 p1 running 8.1 Oreo 1+16gb. There is one spot on board that says topway. I reached out to topway they deny making it. No one can tell me what it is let alone how to fix it. My laptop was able to see it once and never again. Used to be able to get to recovery menu but not any more. I've tried usb keyboards. Combinations of holding reset. Key wires. All to no avail. But it's to the point now I just want to know whobthe hell made it. And if it's savable. Just cuz I don't like not being able to fix something. It was a pre fab kit for my 2006 Lexus is350. Seems every clue I got led me in a different direction but all coming up short. I guess there is about 100 different companies over there that make this same unit. But no one wants to offer help or 8nfo. I think I may have reached out to every maker. Any one got some info or help!View attachment 6021633

It's almost time to replace my 7T.

I'm thinking of either a 1+ 11 or a nothing 2.

Would you buy an 11 again? If not, why not and what would you buy instead?
[OnePlus 11] birdie:
Yes and no.

Yes, because OnePlus 11 was relatively good in terms of HW, camera performance and price.

No, because OnePlus stopped fixing bugs in it just a few months after the device was released. In the past they at least had some sort of bug tracker, nowadays it's seemingly deprecated.

Lastly, OxygenOS >=12 is nothing like OxygenOS <= 11. It's ColorOS trying to look like OxygenOS.

If you're looking for vanilla Android experience with added features, just buy Google Pixel instead. I've heard that Motorola phones are very similar to stock Android but their cameras are generally sub-par.
