Hi Everyone!

I think that might be of some interest to you. I have been working on an app that displays OBDII data on car's screen through android auto and I released it a couple of weeks ago.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ecm.dashobd&hl=en_US&gl=US

You need a Bluetooth/WiFi OBD dongle, and that is it.

In addition to displaying standard OBD PIDs, the app allows you to view trouble codes through android auto screen.

Give it a try and DM me with any questions or issues you have with the app.

Note: The app is still in its early stage, so I am doing my best fixing bugs and adding new features as we go. Feel free to submit any bug report/feature request through this google form: https://forms.gle/kzMsfJmX3BE2M3ydA

Looking forward to hearing your feedback!

Can you also develop a android version of toyota techstream and also an app thats able to remap the ecu?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Androidianx21:
Good day!

I bought a S10 and found it to be rebooting randomly (Sometimes getting stuck in a reboot loop). I tried factory resetting with no joy.

It had the G973WVLS6HVA1 and wanted to update to the G973WVLS8IWDI (KDO), however, would fail every time (using the update centre).

I tried using the smart switch program to facilitate the upgrade and bam! Stuck in the Emergency recovery function.

When trying to use the smart switch emergency recovery feature it fails (phone says SECURE CHECK FAIL : vendor)

This lead me down the path of Odin. After downloading the firmware from samfrew.com (KDO-G973WVLS8IWD1-20230428124401) it still failed. I find myself with a phone stuck in Emergency recovery and unable to get it functioning.

I am suspecting a fault with the motherboard. Any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] flyingmoose99:
Got a second hand fold 2 off marketplace. Didn't know about Chinese phones not being able to use "hey google", came from a pixel so really wanting to get it working. Only thing I think will work is flashing a Taiwan or Hong Kong firmware. I can't find either 😕. Otherwise does anyone know of a working custom Rom or any other method that would work for me?

Might get rid of it if no options...

Cheers!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quexw:
Hello, I'm currently using Android 10, and I encountered an issue with my Google Play system. It was On August 2020, but before I factory reset my device, it was on 2021. Whenever I attempted to update it, I received a message saying my phone was already on the latest version. I couldn't figure out how to force the update.

I later discovered that you can manually update it through APK Mirror. I went ahead and updated it without checking if it was safe or not. Unfortunately, this didn't have any significant effect – it merely changed the month and year. Now, I'm unsure about how to uninstall the APK named 'main component,' and I'm seeking assistance on how to remove it.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nosferatu123:
first of all sry for my english!

hello guys! just yersterday i gought the pixel 8 pro in blue and it looks great

i always buy the new phones that come out as a tech lover

i watch too much youtube videos on this phone, and all i can tell google pay them for sure !!!! this phone is so bad

and this is why:

1: very bad heating issue you just surf the web or get into setting to change stuff the phone hot (not in a way that cant hold it tho)

2: screen brightness is a joke, it say stronger then the iphone 15 pro max lollll ok so maybe is close to the iphone brightness (when slider all the way up, without auto brigthness) its strong enaugh but then the phone over heating in minutes and if you want to lower the brightness, you take the slider down 10% and its very low lolll, the full brightness is between 95 to 100 % wtf?

2: very bad screen dimming, i feel that im using and iphone 10, i just use the phone for few minutes and boom the screen dimms

omg google really? i know it to protect the screen from burnning but hey all other phones allready not suffering from this issue

this is the most annoying thing for me cause im 47 yo and i want all to be on maximum cause i pay for this joke phone 1000$

3: because im not young i want as usual to increase the font size right? but no, with this phone when you raise the font size, all sub menues and names in photos and apps labels, all gone 1 big mess omg why? in iphone you can increase the font for individual app, but here you cant so lets say im using whatapp or facebook and i want to increase the font i cant (even the largest font in whatsapp settings not that big like other phones loll) so im going to settings and play with the zoom and the font size but nothig work cause the minute you increase font size all app labels and many system stuff looks very bad .

--- i know i can thik about more stuff but lets stop here cause those things are very bad for me (cause i sell my iphone 15 pro max for this phone)

be cerful if you didnt buy yet the phone be aware of those stuff hapenning

im not team apple im team samsung more and its very hard for me to see this hapenning on a 1000$ phone with android 14 original

and the samsung s23 ultra works perfectly in any way i wrote before: no heat, no font problem when make them big, no screen dimming, and its the same androind 14 one ui 6

last for now that i forgot to say is the google play store O.M.G this is lagg big time lolll (wtf its google no?)

and i forgot this too >all the screen got yellowish tint to it lolllllll ok i cant continue its enaugh sry i feel so bad right now

to spend my money and get this thing that call pixel 8 pro.

i didnt know that all youtubers on youtube is lies and not tell those things i always thought they try to tell the truth (i saw many show day in life lolll, what day? after 5 min the screen dimm) and all those stuff i had with my pixel 6 pro, so its not bad phone, just i thought that maybe those issue are was in the past.

thank you all if you read my all opinion, and sorry for my english, hope you undrestand few of my words, have a nice day!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Tracker31:
Maybe you have got a faulty unit. Highly recommend to write to Giogle with this problems and you will get a brand new unit. Try this time different color if it matter lol
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] null0seven:
"Reviews" on youtube or whatever are paid. In money or free phone. And you say only what they pay you for!

It is at least weird how no "great" youtuber does not have any problems at all with Pixel 6 Pro, 7 Pro & now 8 Pro.. , with the internet full of NO signal, no wifi, Volte, VoWifi, heat , etc.

On False advertising for 8 Pro they say that they fix the problems Yep! Wright!...

I wanted Pixel 7 Pro. I want 8 Pro. But not throw money on creap.

Pixel was great when it was made by HTC, LG or other serious brands.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Deleted member 11872899:
Sry, but I fully disagree with everything you wrote.

No heating at all except after first boot and if you're capturing a lot of 4k videos. It's going up to 39-40°C which isn't that bad imo. Other phones are similar.

Screen is amazing and dimming is perfect. Never noticed any issues there. Compared to my iPhone 15 pro Max it's better because the brightness on iphone goes down faster too when you're using it for a longer time.

About the font size I can't tell you anything because I don't use that at all. You might take a look and change DPI under developers settings.

Keep in mind I'm definitely not fanboy and use all brands as long as their phones are great.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] lilhaiti:
Sounds like you should have bought an IPhone. I haven't noticed any issues with overheating or with the screen dimming. In terms of the brightness, I can really care less if it's brighter than this phone or that phone, but, I have used my phone in direct bright sunlight and the contrast was still pretty good.

As Tracker31 stated, you may have gotten a faulty unit. Also, you must understand that if you buy ANY device early, there will be bugs the manufacturer needs to work out, no company is immune to it, Apple, Samsung, Google...non of them get it 100% right on day one. Wait a few update cycles and see if your issues are fixed. That said mine has had none of those issues. The font thing, I don't use large font so I can't tell you about that.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nosferatu123:
ok thx guys... i sold it and buy s23 ultra loll it i guess wasnt ment to be mine

or maybe it was faulty unit, anyways im sure that future update will fix some of the problem cause always google got problem when new phones come out. enjoy your phone and stay healty and safe

i will be glad to close this thread thx
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Good choice. S23 Ultra is superior to P8P despite being older.

People saying thay Tensor doesn't "heat" are the ones that fully lack understanding of the hardware or phones in general.

I'm not surprised that people are experiencing issues with 8 series.

Power consumption didn't change much between the Tensor generations, just slightly the efficiency. They use the same exact cooling (internal design) since P6, which is basically trash and can't whitstand even 5 Watts of heat dissipation that most of the other brands can and even cheaper ones.

Some people just can't admit it and need to justify the price they paid for their phone. Full coping mechanism.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] DespairFactor:
Actually Tensor efficiency has gone down since the first one, but display efficiency is a massive improvement on the Pixel 8 series devices with them beating the iPhones at efficiency on the panel. Sure the phone gets warm under some use cases, as does every phone. People can buy whatever they wish to, I do not have any immediate issues with my unit, the only negative I have seen is that the chip is less efficient than its predecessor.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Deleted member 11872899:
Nobody said the pixels have a perfect cooling system nor the best efficiency! Tensor is bad as long as it will be produced by Sammy or is based on Sammy and there is nothing to admit or justify.

However there is definitely no "very bad heating issue'.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] vrda08:
Can confirm 8Pro heats too much using light browsing 10min on 4/5G. Wifi is ok. So not all feel very warm device using it on mobile network, it depends on environment temperature, if its 22°C and more, you will immediately feel very warm device in your hand after 10+min.

btw. Tested with my other 2 devices (Samsung) they are not warm at all, same conditions, same network.

definitely 8 pro is same or worse then 6/7 pro when using mobile network in terms of temperature.

If you are at home with WiFi, of course it will be much better, or outside, living where noe winter starting, and temps are 0-20°, of course you will say I don't have problems with heating.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Gilg@mesh:
yep, never noticed my previous S23 got varm at all, doing same stuff on the 8 Pro definitely gets varmer, hopefully custom kernel can make it little cooler somehow.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
So, argumentum ad hominem instead of reasoning? Based on your ad hominem (personal attacks instead of reasoning and presenting a constructive argument) I'm not expecting you to understand at all how "meme" Pixels devices are for the price Google is selling them.

"However there is definitely no "very bad heating issue'. LOL SURE IT'S NOT, Do you know why?

Lemme show you:

View attachment 6030161

Here, look at what temperature it starts throttling and look at the thresholds. It's "killing" the performance of the SOC the moment it touches 37c on the Virtual SKIN (related to ~ 37c battery temperature). So, yeah, in certain cases it doesn't "heat badly", sure, because instead of upgrading the cooling, they "upgrade" their thermal throttling mechanism that deals with it for a HUGE impact on the performance of the SOC.

Sure, you might not notice this while browsing or chatting since those instances don't require high processing power, but try multitasking, and you'll start noticing hiccups once the devices hit level 1/2 thresholds.

YOU don't experience it because you're probably not even using your phone to an extent like the others. Also, AMBIENT temperatures play a BIG role in how the device behaves. Just because YOU don't experience heating, it doesn't mean no one else does.

The fact that the device can't dissipate more than an average of 5 watts of heat output combined with an inefficient chip and high power consumption is a recipe for "EVERYONE will experience the heating, as soon as they ACTUALLY start using some power-hungry apps".

If you're just scrolling through your browser and watching a YouTube video and chatting in messaging apps, don't be surprised that you're not experiencing it, because NO chip does in those scenarios, so Tensor isn't a special case here, but seems that combining the same usage with 4G or 5G is already a recipe for cooking your phone. This is not a surprise since Pixel keeps using the cheaper modems on the market.

There is a mass of people that complain literally about the same exact thing, and the explanation under which circumstances it happens is consistent among them, so that tells enough about the Pixel devices currently.

I personally OWN the Pixel 7 Pro, sure, it gets updated regularly, even Chinese OEMs nowadays do, so Google isn't anything special about it anymore, (The S23 Ultra even got earlier a few times the security patches compared to Pixel...so, it's not a strong argument anymore).

Camera? What's special about it that other flagships don't offer? Basically NOTHING. Photos are there to tell, no need to argue about it. Pixel has become a generic "Chinese OEM" in terms of its camera optimization. Their post-processing is often worse even than the ones found in Xiaomi devices. lol

Pixel used to be a thing...but only used to be. But I get it, it's hard when you spend so much on a device, you need to justify it somehow, even if that means pretending that all is fine with it. lol
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Yes, I swear, the "only" good thing they did was use that new display panel. It's efficient as hell compared to the other "flagships" currently.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] toolhas4degrees:
1st of all I phone to android is very different. Giggle is known to have cutting edge stuff that usually comes with several bugs as they are the source of all android. My suggestion to you is either stay with the iPhone you love that costs 800 dollars more or go to a different android that takes a while to get cutting edge updates etc like oppo etc. Google is always latest with errors that need to be fixed especially for the first a14 phone and less than a month from the release date you know there will be several bugs. There is a reporting area in settings that goes directly to Google maybe you should report all of your issues there, so that they know your issues and can patch them in the next 2 to 3 months.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] s3axel:
Interesting, in fact my experience has been completely different. I sold a S23U for a P8P just because of the camera (and because I don't really use some of the specialties the S23U offers), and while there a certainly a number of downsides in this exchange the camera is definitely not!

Finally I got a mobile camera that just takes photos as I perceive the real world situation, with correct colours and excellent image quality and with a very high quota of keepers - without all the hassles I had to go through with the S23U,which still missed many a nice shot....

And I'm also comparing to a Xiaomi 13 Ultra I still own where the P8P processing easily offsets the theoretical disadvantage of the smaller sensor(s) compared to the 13U....

Downside for the P8P for me clearly is the inferior chipset when comparing to the 8 Gen 2,be it battery life or fluidity and processing power in heavier games.... And of course the (IMHO) crappy exynos modem, which gives less data speeds and battery life....

Having said all that: for me the P8P is the best compromise between all options at the moment, but I keep my eyes open and am curious about what the S24U may offer....
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] x111:
the pixel 7 pro and pixel 8 pro are the best phones so far, with the best software and easy root.

would be awesome if Google take the latest and greatest Samsung phones and will make it Google phones.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] slogar25:
I find that Pixels, more than any other OEM, get so much unbiased hate. We hear Tensor is manufactured based on an Exynos template, even though Google has totally re configured and is in no way, shape or form a Samsung SOC, and it automatically is trash. Thus on the hunt for everything that might be wrong with it, whether the issue exists or not. The reality is Tensor performs excellently for what Google designs it to do. Google doesnt design Tensor for raw power. They only want it to be efficient in runninig their absurdley large and robust AI and Machine Learning. Which it does exeptionally at. Having said all of that, I have yet to find anything Tensor didnt do what I wanted it to do. I'll be called a fan boy for this post but so be it.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Gilg@mesh:
it is a Samsung SoC and the modem is a Samsung one which is worse than the Qualcomm ones, I came from the S23 and never did I find it running varm/hot compared to my P8 Pro which I use exactly the same as the S23, hopefully the Pixel 10 solves this or at least use vapor chamber on the Pixel 9 lineup.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] yanggame:
If you have a phone with SD888 inside.

You know all the heating complaints here are not an issue at all.

If you don't like it, sell or return the phone.

Problem solved.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] wangdaning:
I don't really get why people are comparing the heat of two different chips and saying one is bad because it runs hotter normally. Do you guys feel the same with intel vs amd? Are amd chips trash because they run hotter?

BTW, the phone does not really get hot, it at times gets a little warm.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] K1nsey6:
Sounds like you got a bad unit. I have none of those issues and Ive had it since launch day. Try doing a factory reset, if that doesnt clear it up do a warrantee exchange.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Pixel_Circuir:
Ironically my Xiaomi Mi 11 with SD888 runs cooler then my Pixel 8 Pro on regular usage,

and has better peak performance, running games like Genshin Impact at 60fps before it heats up.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] E-61:
I had the Mi 11 and after that i bought the Mi 11 Ultra. There is not phone which is worse than the regular Mi11. There were burned Wifi modules because of the heat!

Edit: there was a legit reason for downclocking after the first months.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] null0seven:
Yep !!..

Screen is great... Many people have bumps on the screen. Some components under the screen have expanded/swelled and are pushing the screen up.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] toolhas4degrees:
The point is when the amd gets hot the os doesn't sit there and lag out. I personally love the phone but hate the slow charging and modem. The exnos chipset which the tensor is based off of. it's rebranded as tensor but is still exnos based. Always had a really crappy GPU and modem which is the same thing going on here. So all the people say why people hating on tensor. The fact is they've owned exnos chips know they are fairly crappy, understand a tenor is the same platform and see the same issues here.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Yeedatoy:
Ambient temperature has virtually no effect on anything. Maybe if you leave the device on a table in direct sunlight, but that's not ambient temperature. People buy a device and turn it on, use it for a few days while 30 app updates are immediately running, the adaptive battery and other adaptive features have all begun learning the users routines, play module updates are in progress, they download a bunch of random crap and try out all of the various features of the device, and half of them do it with the phone plugged in and then complain about heat. The modem is fine. In fact it's better than fine to the point where the pixel 7 has the fastest average mobile network speeds of any device in 2023. The modem gets hot if you're service blows or you've incorrectly configured the mobile settings. Don't buy a flagship device and then use a phone service that is garbage in your area. Set your device up correctly and then if you still have issues.... figure out what the actual cause is. If it were a hardware issue than everyone would have it. Clearly, this isn't one. My phone is on the charger right now and here are my temps.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Yeedatoy:
Furthermore, Google offers so many deals on pixels, if you've paid over $600 for a device...I don't know what to tell you. My pixel 7 was $350 brand new in February, I got it from Best buy and chose Google Fi at checkout, and instead of using the account I set up at purchase and the physical sim I made a second account and activated it with an esim which gave me a $400 credit and 3 months of free service and I got a Pixel watch for only the cost of shipping
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Yeedatoy:
One of the the theories I began looking into is that the device actually expels heat better than other devices, combined with the material of the device and the design of the frame actually makes the device feel warmer, because instead of that heat being trapped inside the device it successfully allows it to be released. I have a Pixel 7, 7a and a 4a5g. Now, I will say that from October of 2022 to September of 2023 the Pixel launcher was so screwed up that it would cause issues with processes getting stuck and causing the device to heat up, but that's about it other than using the wrong charger or having a terrible carrier for your area.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Ambient temperature has nothing to do with it? Please, don't, you seem to be missed elementary school physics basics.

Zeroeth law of thermodynamics:

if two bodies are each in thermal equilibrium with some third body, then they are also in equilibrium with each other.

In simple words so that your mind understands it:

Battery, CPU, SOC, or any physical component, be it the body of the device or internal parts can't be at lower temperature than the ambient temperature.

So, if your ambient is, let's say 30, and my ambient is let's say 20c, that's already 10c difference in starting point, so obviously your will hit the thermal thresholds earlier than mine.

So, please, don't talk stuff you have no clue about from a technical as well scientific point of view.

If, according to you, ambient temperature doesn't play a role, none of the manufacturers would be explicitly stating on the box of the device the "operating range temperatures".

And, yes, ambient temps play a huge role in how will device behave for X, and how it will behave for Y.

Also, heat dissipation is almost "useless" in case of Pixel 7 series (8 series now too) when their thermal capacity of the cooling design which is literally up to 3x lower than other flagships that use VC or generally a copper plate/pipe inside their devices.

Please go actually check some educational videos from people that actually measure the values between various devices and do scientific and technical comparisons instead of relying on "it's how you use your phone".
