Hi

So is it normal for a region locked app to close itself if you open it in a country that is not allowed?

I have a US only app and when i open it closes itself instead of giving a error.

Any way around it?

[FYT Android Head Units] Fixy FixIT:
Hi all, first post from me so please go easy !

I have a question about the CC3 unit I recently bought and installed. (mine is NOT the latest 2k version since it was second hand when I bought it).

Does anyone know the "Perfect" size for album art for this unit ? (The size in pixels that the actual unit displays them at on screen ) - I'm only interested in getting the "Front Cover" to display correctly without un-due resizing from Android itself since I can easily tailor any images I add to the file Tag when I rip and save the audio files.

I had been using 1400x1400 ones but they get "Cropped" on the left and or right side which cuts off some of the text so I'm guessing the display size will be larger vertically than horizontally.

A strange side effect that I have noticed also is that "Smaller - let's say 600x600 images" seem to show up in the home-screen music player BUT 1400x1400 Do NOT, yet, 1400 x 1400 WILL show when in the Full Screen music App........ I use "MP3tag by Florian Heidenreich" software to add the images to my audio files and have no issues with them showing in a Windows 10 player so I'm pretty sure i'm doing nothing wrong my end.

Could this be a bug or is this just because I'm using too high resolution images for the home screen app to display in such a small real-estate ?

Any advice is appreciated and thanks in advance.

[FYT Android Head Units] Fixy FixIT:
My mistake - I have edited the post to CC3.

I didn't buy it as new from T'eyes and was lead to believe otherwise from the original advertisement - So sorry.

I did See a HUGE post on CC3 stuff (Cause, you know, I did TRY TO SEARCH before registering and joining ) and I did try to post in the same thread but it seems this one has appeared as a new post ?

Please feel free to move it to any T'eyes related thread if needed.

As I mentioned - It's my first post on this forum so please do go easy if i get it wrong.

Senior reply tho - that hit home - thanks gordgelin :)
[FYT Android Head Units] gordgelin:
that is 'coz music widget is not really a widget, it is part of the launcher and it communicates with music player lets say via chinese services. so music player and launcher both have different algos for showing album art. launcher somehow transforms images before showing them in the so called widget, while music player probably not
[FYT Android Head Units] Fixy FixIT:
Do we know what the "default window size" for album art for Music player is then ?

Or.

Why smaller imager files do seem to show up on the home screen rather than larger ones ?

I have no idea at this point why, I am simply trying to find a solution and if that means reducing all files down to a "Defined" frame size then I am more than happy to do that.

You mentioned it Communicates Via Chinese Services - I have to question what you mean here ?

The Art I have embedded into the music files requires ZERO Internet connection to any servers. It's Embedded.

Plus, my CC3 has no Sim Card installed and 95% of the time I am driving my car, it's NOT connected to my phone via my phones internet connection (and I do have other issues regarding that but that's not for this post) :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin_seymer:
Hi I wonder how and what tool can I use to extract files from a dumped/cooked rom

The files I need is shellres.dll.041D.mui and shellres.192.dll and shellres.dll

Would be very kind of you guys!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fards:
which rom would you like, easiest way is via the kitchen and e to extract

no shellres.41d here but can give you the other (youve two the same) and shellresapps
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin_seymer:
thanks, I meant Shellres.dll, anybody have the shellres.041d its in the swe rom.

And again thanks for the file fards!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fards:
have a play with the kitchen, stick your ruu_signed.nbh from the swe rom into the baserom folder, startup the kitchen.cmd and press "e" it really is very simple.

the files from the rom will be extracted after some time into oem rom sys folders if they arent then theyll be in the temp folder, its quicker than waiting for someone else to get it for you, otherwise point me to a swe rom file and ill extract them, but it may not be tonight as ive got probs @ home to sort out
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin_seymer:
Oh I hope everything goes well for you home my friend, when you have the time and will, can you extract the files in this SWE rom http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B0A16UP3

some people said that its impossible to root the device without OEM enabled I tried alot of things and almost break the device but fix it

im getting hopeless but if u have any idea about how can i root a device without oem and unlocking bootloader (that i think its impossible) or how to enable OEM blocked by company and missing please share with me.🗿

[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] darky_omdb:
For fun and also I want to learn how to root phones and im testing

I flashed some rom with Asus flash tool but they got failure error while flashing and the os was gone and some how by chance I fix that in that time I wasn't even able to use fastboot and also ota was broken

But I don't need OEM or bootloader unlocking for using that?

I mean how its working
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] darky_omdb:
im trying to root the device i dont want to update or downgrade i already downgraded from android 9 to 7 to be able to root the device maybe i need to let it go and dont wast my time on rooting unrootable phone

i really dont know what is wrong with ASUS Company they are annoying
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Unfortunately, rooting is not possible without unlocking the bootloader, and unlocking the bootloader is not possible without enabling OEM Unlock.

Sorry.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] darky_omdb:
i also find out something about all asus products that ASUS is being 1 year that don't let anyone unlocked the bootloader and this thing made a lot of people and devs angry

so make sense now. -_- a lot of them said that they would never buy asus products again bec of this

ASUS "Unlock Device App"

Since my question was deleted in an open thread by the moderators I open my own. Many customers are facing the problem that they can't unlock their devices with the official app by ASUS (probably server down) and the moderators seems do doge every post or question about it but I will it try it...

Hello, its confirmed to receive one ui 6 on note20 ultra soon, anybody already have because i ask iff with new updatte can video record in 4k @60 fps and change lens during recording from 0.5 to 1x and zoom

I ask because i think its a software issue not hardware, in pro mode you can record 4k@60 with wide angle and in normal video mode only 1x
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] ironhide469:
Is it confirmed by Samsung though ? because so far, Samsung as only confirmed about its AI image editing tool being available for older devices. The news about one UI 6 for note 20 series seems to be a mistake, I checked news.samsung.com, they removed the name mentioned there. Lemme know if anybody here has any information regarding this topic.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] vlx600d:
This is easily the best CF case I've used to date. No strings sticking out to poke me, no sharp edges making it hard to get in and out of pockets. The finish is excellent. Had one of this companies other cases save my s21 a while ago from a 70mph tumble off my motorcycle, was excited to try something lighter for my fold. This is awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] searley:
Got mine arriving in about a week to the UK I'm quite excited

How well does it stick in place?

I had the pitaka and the adhesive they used didn't stick well and the case was always popping off
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] neilth:
My case arrived the other day and it’s so thin and light, adding only negligible weight and bulk to this thick, heavy phone. The look and feel with its striped textured finish provides a nice appearance and a very confident grip when handheld during daily usage. I am looking forward to using its MagSafe capabilities for charging and mounting my phone on MagSafe mounts and stands in my car and on my desktop at home. For what it costs, this is a great case for the Z Fold5 in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] searley:
I've used mine a couple of days now and it feels great.. loving having a case again that has magsafe

The case fits well, and unlike a similar case from elsewhere this one stays attached to the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] searley:
Had an issue with mine.. it interferes with wireless charging none of my 6 chargers work for more than about 30 seconds

Remove the rear case and all is OK again so the magsafe ring is causing the problem

There is obviously a reason that pitaka removed magsafe from the z fold case
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] neilth:
You didn’t say whether the six chargers you tried are MagSafe chargers or not. Use of a conventional wireless charger with a MagSafe compatible device frequently will not work as expected.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] searley:
I was using the apple magsafe the fist two nights and waking up to a nearly empty phone.. I also have another Magsafe which doesn't work either so it is an issue with the case
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] neilth:
You can try getting in touch with this contact at CaseBourne for a solution: chelsea@getcaseborne.com
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] searley:
i emailed chelsea without response however did have an email conversation with Karl.. send a video answered some questions.. and the final response was 'can i send it back'

im in the UK.. dont know if there is any difference in our model of phone.. but to me it feels like the magsafe ring is fractionally too low, just on the edge of the coils, a few mm up and it works

either way i have edited the amazon review to reflect the fact that for me the item does not work as it should and has had to be returned
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] neilth:
Well, I’m glad that you got it resolved. It’s too bad that returning the case was the only solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] searley:
The pitaka case originally had magsafe they removed it claiming issues

So currently in back to the pitaka
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] ionutdicu:
Hi!

I ordered one too, without Magsafe, because Ive seen the problems reported with wireless charging....

Can you tell me it it stays perfectly stuck around the front (outer) screen?

And also Ive mounted a screen protector - Whitestone Dome EZ Fit (not the one with liquid and UV), it looks and feels really nice and it is apparently case-friendly; I am concerned though if this case might lift the screen protector...?!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] ionutdicu:
The case arrived today, I can confirm it has perfect cutouts including on front part so that it is compatible also with Dome EZ Fit glass screen protection. Overall a nice product, could be better on having larger adhesive stickers especially for the front part but overall it is very good (not perfect).
[Android Auto General] hbk_seanmichael:
Any idea why my Pixel 6a connected to my AAWireless dongle has lower audio quality than my iphone 13 connected to bluetooth? This is from streaming music on Spotify and both phones have all quality settings in Spotify set to the highest option

My car is a 2022 Kia Stinger with Wired AA by default but I use the Wireless Adapter from AAWireless.io
[Android Auto General] EngineerMind:
Open the settings for that bluetooth connection on your android phone.

Sometimes you need to manually turn on "HD Audio" for the bluetooth connection to get the higher sound quality.
[Android Auto General] domenico74:
Hi, Do you have resolve this issue?
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:

[Other SmartWatches] Otuics:
Good evening everyone, let me start by saying that I am Italian and I don't know English well, I will try to be as understanding as possible.

I intend to purchase one of the three watches written in the title.

After having informed myself I understood several problems.

The first consists in the possibility of accessing the phone's root.

Since we almost always talk about Android 8.1 I thought that accessing root would be simple. But from what I read on the internet, the suppliers have worked a lot on customizing the ROM, making the device impossible to root. Have any of you succeeded?

My intent would be to install a stock root of Android 8.1 and install lighter launchers and delete all junk applications that only fill up memory and would remain active in the background.

The second is to connect the smartwatch to your main phone. As the sellers themselves say, these devices are stand alone, but I have seen on the internet devices such as various Kospet, kw99, lemfo etc... which use tethering technology to communicate with both iOS and Android. The apps they used were Wiiwatch, Wiiwatch 2, droidwatc etc... Do you know if the latter can also be used for these smartwatches?

Finally I wanted to know your opinion on these devices. I found them all under $100 including shipping and customs costs. Are they worth buying or are they cheap Chinese toys?

Thanks for the attention. I hope for help from you. And I apologize for my perfect English nom.
[Other SmartWatches] Muxa92:
I connected my s8 ultra to phone with Watch Phone Drioid. It's cost you money, but this best app to pair your notification.

Use Universal Launcher to best experience full android smartwatch.

I can't rooted watch, using this chinese toy six month.

If you intresting, write to me, and I send you this apps
[Other SmartWatches] Johnson775:
Hi I interested can u send me t

Do u succeed of debloat all Junks and flash stock android 8.1?
[Other SmartWatches] Muxa92:
send what?
[Other SmartWatches] Fabinho Tech:
Probably Universal Launcher!

You download the apps, install them on your Android Smartwatch and place the Watch faces with the ending .watch or .zip inside the folder named clockskin, which is located in the root of the smartwatch

[Samsung Galaxy S22] sher_lock:
I've read all about the terrible battery of the s22, with SOT of barely 5 hours reported on average. I barely get SOT of 2 hours and some heating issues. After all the learnings the phone did, it predicted 10 hours of usage on full charge which is absurd.

Is this normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S22] blackhawk:
Welcome to XDA

No that's horrible. That chipset is a notorious power hog though if it's the Snapdragon.

It's not optimized which is making matters much worse.

Keep social media apps off the phone. Playstore doesn't need to be running if your not using it. Google play Services doesn't need to run all the time either but Playstore and Google Backup Transport/Framework are dependencies of it, the latter are known power hogs. Find my Device is also a dependency of it but doesn't use that much power. My point with all that is that optimizing is a balancing act of your actual needs vs everything using excessive power that you don't need.

Disable all app, carrier and Google feedback. Disable Google Firebase. These aren't needed.

Use NextDNS as your dns provider, it's free and will globally block all ads. Start there. Optimizing is a long process with a somewhat steep learning curve to do it right. Use Package Disabler or LADB edits to tone it down, care must be exercised with these; target the power hogs.

First try to use their settings to bring them in line, but many times this isn't enough.

Accubattery is useful for monitoring battery health and power usage. Sd maid pro is a good clean up tool.

The other factor maybe is the battery is degraded and needs replacing. If so do that now before it fails! Optimizing it will help the new battery last longer as well as giving you better run time.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] sher_lock:
After using the galaxy MaxHz to set device to power saving mode when screen is off, it didn't seem to drain so much overnight although it did lose close to 15% compared to the 40% in previous nights. I've been using nextdns for a while now too.

The only social media on device is WhatsApp and this is an overnight with Accubattery.

I think I should be worried I've got 0 minutes in deep sleep
[Samsung Galaxy S22] k3lcior:
Considering you used only 1/3 of the battery i would say it's not the worst, do not expect something like 5 or 6 hours sot with this phone
[Samsung Galaxy S22] blackhawk:
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services at night and see if that helps. It's probably running backup. Those system apps use a fair amount of battery even when not actively backing up. Read what I posted here.

With AOD on, cell and internet connected it should use >1% an hour.

Tap on AOD >.5% an hour.

Two hours SOT is not acceptable at all. You likely can't get it to run as efficiently as a N10+ but you can do a lot better than that.

What's Accubattery history showing as mAh used? If the battery is degraded it really should be replaced before it fails. High discharge rates make a failure more likely.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] sher_lock:
Did a factory reset, had to sign in to Google to download accubattery and updated a few apps all with the screen on. Disabled the Google stuff that clearly had a disable button, turned off all radios and left the device in airplane mode.

It still didn't go into deep sleep and screen off drain was 10% from 3am to 6am.

Edit: fixed a typo
[Samsung Galaxy S22] blackhawk:
Try in safe mode.

WhatsApp shouldn't be on there.

How long does it take the battery to charge?

What brick, charge rate?
[Samsung Galaxy S22] sher_lock:
It's a 25W Samsung brick.

It doesn't register as a super fast charger on the s22

View attachment 6029056

but it is correctly recognized by my A52

View attachment 6029057

The heavy usage by whatsapp was because I was on a whatsapp call, even so the A52 uses less battery, (I understand it has bigger)

Another noticed issue is "static" on the screen while it's charging.

Touch inputs become funky as if the touch is malfunctioning.

At this point I think returning the device is the best option
[Samsung Galaxy S22] blackhawk:
If you can return it, do so. I suspect the battery needs replacement. The chipset is also problematic if it's the Snapdragon.

As Samsung flagships go the N10+ is still my weapon of choice. No expandable storage is a huge liability. At the price you can get a used N10+ for it easily trumps the new midrange Samsung's however less variable refresh and 5G.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] sher_lock:
Where I am, there's no 5g and I doubt there would be any in 5 years.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] sher_lock:
Thanks for your patience
[Samsung Galaxy S22] blackhawk:
I have a unlimited 4G data plan that's grandfathered and cheap. Most times it's the site speed not my 4G bandwidth that limits the speed. Plus since 5G has been implemented it frees up even more 4G bandwidth.

Not having 5G might hurt you with cloud backup though because 5G can transmit large blocks of data faster and more efficiently. If your not reliant on cloud backup, it's irrelevant. I use my SD card as a data drive and then back it up redundantly to at least 2 other drives. My preferred method. Data is always available even if there's no cell coverage.

I haven't used 90 or 120hz displays. Be nice but it uses more battery and most of my activities don't need it. Movies don't benefits from it. The N10+ is a good balance of performance, power and efficiency. Excellent form factor and build quality. Cams are very good. I'm still running Android 9 and 10 on my stock N10+'s so no scoped storage and legacy apps will run on them (a few won't function on 10). This 4 yo N10+ has over 9k hours on it with one battery replacement being its only repair.

Last factory reset was 3.5 years ago. It looks, feels and runs like new, zero detectable display degradation. It's always cased.

That's my solution and there are tradeoffs. For me the benefits outweigh those tradeoffs. A lot of this is because of both Samsung and Google Android 11 and up less than stellar performance since the N10+ and Android 9.

The only downside in getting a used N10+ if it's in good condition is it will be loaded with Android 11 or 12.

The N20U is there too, the hump back. It has expandable storage, better cams and a faster spen ( on the left side, idiots). It has a variable refresh rate display. However the N10+ still has the best bezel to display ratio of all Samsung models of this form factor and is also the thinnest.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Tuvix1:
Next DNS is very power hungry when turned on
[Samsung Galaxy S22] sher_lock:
I do use NEXT DNA but not through the app. Through DNS configs in settings
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Tuvix1:
Don't know if there's a difference when using the app. It might be different when you manually configure the DNS settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] blackhawk:
Use the online browser version instead, zero drain, works perfectly.

I use the VPN based Karma firewall on top of that on my N10+ running on Android 9. Almost zero usage if running in background however it's valuable logging feature is lost on Android 10 and higher. Google Android is fubar now and just keeps getting worse. No joke.
