[Sony Xperia 10 V] IhabFa:
After researching more about this issue... AOD isn't dependant on particular kind of chipsets. It's a software feature that should work as long as the device have a led display ( OLED or AMOLED).

I could be wrong though, but haven't found anything online to support your claim (at least not yet).

I believe Sony just decided not to implement it in 10 series so they keep it as a premium feature for their more premium devices (Xperia 1 & 5).

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] FullWipe:
Try uninstalling Whatsapp cleanly, log out of your Google account and change Android ID using apps like Device ID Changer.

Then try reinstalling Whatsapp, verify your number and restore chats. Finally log back in with Google.

I believe WhatsApp blocking occurs due to a cross-check of the Android ID and the Google account on which it is installed.

You have probably used a custom version of Whatsapp in the past (e.g. FMWhatsapp) and your "android ID/Google Account" has been blacklisted from Whatsapp.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] caligula.pro:
use whatsapp business. that was the only solution i found when i installed a custom
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] richter32:
I'm having the same problem! In fact, I used fouad WhatsApp before and I had to remove it because they caught me and it didn't work so I tried to install it on the rom that I had on my 11 ultra (elite rom) and it was impossible! After this I installed the official Indonesian rom and with that I was able to install it! Then my screen broke and I tried to use 3 phones that I have at home with the official ROMs (my note 2) (bq Aquaris x pro) and Meizu pro 5 and with those phones I have the same message (to use this account install WhatsApp official!) then I tried using a secondary account on the Samsung s23 ultra and it also left me without problems... then later I had to buy a new pixel 8 pro mobile and also without problems! but I think there is some kind of blockage on a WhatsApp server.

[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] icko.derick:
Hi. I was wondering if there is a way I could modify the MSM tool so that I could directly flash the latest OOS13?

To start, I've been flashing a lot of custom ROMs, and whenever I want to flash a new ROM (or encounter a bootloop), I use MSM tool to start completely clean. Currently, most ROMs require the latest OOS13 firmware, and the version of the latest MSM tool for OP8 that is readily available online only brings the firmware up to 11.0.4.4. The problem I have with this is that every time I run MSM tool, I have to update my phone to OOS13, which becomes tedious after doing it so many times already. I found an article about this exact same question, though I get confused in the last parts of the tutorial. I think I've tried my best to understand and follow it exactly as it says, but I just end up in a bootloop. In the same article, it mentions the Fastboot Enhance Tool, which says that "It can flash the latest OxygenOS 13 firmware", though it doesn't mention exactly how to do this.

I was hoping if anyone could provide a clearer step-by-step tutorial on how to do this, or any other alternatives. Though I would think a customized MSM tool would be preferred so that it could be used in any situation, even in bootloop cases.
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] RenzoMag:
The device is getting really slow and disgusting with the original ROM, I'm having a hard time using it.

Does anyone know what clean rom I can install? Something based on stock I suppose, that can be used daily and affects performance positively.

The layers of customization and the amount of bloatware that the factory device has make it very bad.​
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] tibocub:
I think you can't go wrong with lineageOs. The worst bug I ever encountered was the search bar in the settings that was closing the settings app, other than that it's just android without google an xiaomi and it's really impressive how it impact the battery life and performances.
[FYT Android Head Units] sniper:
I recently installed an EKIY TT7 (8GB/128GB) and love the look but I have 2 main issues:

The screen is polarized incorrectly as if it were horizontal but since it's vertical it's not visible while wearing polarized sunglasses. I'm guessing this is due to the screen being made as horizontal and then being rotated after the fact... Are all vertical head units like this? If it was polarized at a 45 degree angle like phone screens it'd be fine either way.

The internal mic is barely audible even when speaking loudly.

View attachment 6053923

View attachment 6053924

If the screen issue is widespread on vertical units I guess I'll need to switch over to a horizontal one like their T7. At least I'd get some potentially useful physical buttons along with it even though I'd prefer the vertical one...

Random last question: does anyone know how to change from km/h to mph on the home screen? I can't find a setting for it anywhere.
[FYT Android Head Units] blackhawk:
I don't think there's a universal polarization stadard for sunglasses only that both lens are on the same axis angle. I been tilting my head for decades to read LCD's with polarized sunglasses🤣

You could try a different brand. Or bring a filter to test them. An optometrist could brew up a pair as well.
[FYT Android Head Units] sniper:
I've never had an issue with any other screens with these sunglasses (Oakley) or others which is why this screen seems to be the issue. As far as I can tell most glasses/screen manufacturers seem to be in sync on which angle to use so they can be used together. I think the problem is due to them reusing a horizontal screen and rotating it which causes the issue.
[FYT Android Head Units] blackhawk:
I can't find that documented anywhere although it could be true. Like I said I've been tilting my head for decades. Goes with the territory.

Other option is to flip the glasses up.

A HUD on the windshield be the way to go for all read outs. All this junk but none of the cool stuff.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidronvalley:
Hi,

not sure why, only with one specific google account i cannot sync the google calendar.

In Settings > Password/Accounts -> account i can read

"sync is currently experiencing problems, It will be back shortly"

Other google accounts works.

Is it an issue of google ?

Any hep really appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodken:
Go to Settings > Accounts > Google > Account Sync and make sure Calendar sync is enabled for the affected account.

Clear cached data and app preferences for the Calendar app.

If clearing data doesn't help, uninstall and reinstall the Calendar app.

Remove the problematic Google account from your device and add it back. This might reset sync settings.

Log in to your Google Calendar using a web browser to see if sync issues persist there. If not, the problem is likely device-specific.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidronvalley:
Hi @rodken thanks a lot.

I already tested all the above. Very strangely, i can synchronize other 2 google accounts i have, but not the one of the companyy, that is always a google email.

Looks like the issue is my lineage + microg.

I can synchronize properly from another phone with stock rom.

If any hint, welcome.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve Matthew:
Since you've narrowed it down to LineageOS and MicroG, have you tried checking the MicroG settings to ensure everything is configured correctly for the company Google account? Sometimes, it could be a specific setting or permission causing the hiccup.

Also, make sure that your LineageOS and MicroG installations are up to date. Occasionally, updates bring bug fixes that might address compatibility issues.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidronvalley:
Still fighting with this.

Microg is tha latest beta.

All microg checks are set, safetynet is passing.

Anyway, still able to synchronize.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidronvalley:
So, finally, this is the situation:

LineageOS + microg looks very good, but,

For job reasons i need calendar to work, occasionally i need to join some meet confs.

What could be better now ? Install a custom rom with opengapps ?

[General Questions and Answers] senorlocksmith:
I have a few of these Nucleus Anywhere Intercoms that ended up no longer being supported and I want to see about customizing them to be wall mounted calendars or something simple since its not a very powerful board.

I have torn them down and discovered they are using a custom board with

RockChip RK3128

1GB DDR3 ram split by 2 Samsung K4B4G1646E-BCK0

8GB Sandisk SDIN8DE2-8G

RKDevTool Provides This info

CSO: 45 4D 4D 43 20

From some reason the FlashInfo reads:

Manufacturer: Samsung

Flash Size: 7456MB

Total Sector: 0xe9000

Block Size: 512KB

Page Size: 2KB

ECC Bits: 0

Access Time: 40

Flash CS: 0

Chip Info

Tag: 33 31 32 41

Image Chip Flag: -RK312A

Now I have messed around and flashed one incorrectly and the LCD no longer displays any image. The LCD is 1280x600 I believe.

I have scoured the web and these forums the best I can and haven't found anyone who has worked on these much. My biggest issue is that I want to make a full back up of the IDB and Loader as well as a full firmware backup. I have already used rkDumper rkImgRePacker and a few other rkDevTools rkAndroidTools and others to try to generate a back up. I have been able to get individual partitions but from what I can tell is that the IDB and Loader are stored elsewhere from these partitions. I could be wrong. Since I flashed one wrong I want to see if I can get a back up and reflash the broken one with it. I have already tried running the RK3128 loader and the RK312X loader offered here, but I think I am missing something else needed to get the LCD to work. Ultimately I would love to have a fresh Android 5.1.1 like the Firefly board without the Nucleus shell, but they have also customized android so much its missing the Navigation bar, the status bar, and many other features that I don't know if I can re-enable or have to recompile.

I know this is a long shot and probably something that would be better served in the scrap pile, but I really hate Ewaste and would like to give them a second chance at life. I have the dumps that I have already created if anyone wants to take a look.

Let me know any advice.
[General Questions and Answers] senorlocksmith:
Update. I reached out to the OEM manufacturer of these devices and was not able to secure any resources or information from them due to IP contracts. Im still searching for a way to restore this device. I have boiled it down to a possibility that this issue is from the internal BootROM and SRAM that has been corrupted/changed during the flash to another rom. I don't have access to an original flash rom for this device making it harder to obtain these files. Since the motherboard doesn't have any JTAG or UART pin outs and all the chips are BGA mounted this makes it harder for me to probe the board with my skills.

"This" is someone that doesn't understand that your cellular service and signal strength is killing your battery. That's not an issue with the phone. That's an issue with your physical location and the service provider you have chosen.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] EllieCat:
Also your phone might be looking for WiFi which drains a ton of battery as well. Put it in airplane mode.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] simplepinoi177:
As everyone has mentioned...force LTE only and no 5G (NM), and maybe install GSam Battery Monitor to really see if there are any excessive wakelocks happening....

It seems you have wifi connection, so if you do, I suggest enabling Wifi Calling and turning off mobile network when you have wifi signal....

After looking at that second post, also that "R" is not going to help your battery life as well (I see what everyone else is indicating now)....

Also, there's a setting in Developers options "Wi-Fi scan throttling" that might help as it specifically states "reduces battery drain" -- I suppose from your aggressive wifi scanning it seems to indicate from your screenshots.

Pixel phones aren't known for the best battery life. Unfortunately if you wanna continue with a pixel concessions will be me essay. Otherwise I'd stick with a snapdragon phone or iPhone as they run more efficiently.

Edit: and by iPhone I mean not the pro, either the standard version or the pro max
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Mrowkarz123:
I don't actually care for the SOT as long as the phone gets me through the day which it does with my average usage. And if I'm on wifi only it easily lasts more than a day.

The poor battery efficiency of the Tensor cpus and their modems are a known issue, which if it get resolved it will be in Tensor G5 in Pixel 10 when google moves to the TSMC. I did buy the phone knowing about it and I accepted this, tho it still lasts way longer than my previous Redmi Note 10 pro.

You can be aware of the problems and still like the phone if you accept them. But if you don't and the phone doesn't work for you just sell it and get different one.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
If battery life on Pixels was as bad as the OP is trying to troll us with, no one would have one.

This thread is like reading someone who complains that their car got dented after they drove into a bridge.

And then responds with arrogance when people try to tell him to stop driving into bridges.

I can't imagine the drain, not just from the signal but uTorrent running for over 14 hours?? Of COURSE battery life is going to suffer.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Morgrain:
Your first picture showed qTorrent running for 14 hours... and Wifi was only on 5 hours... were you running on mobile data 9 hours long, whilst torrenting?

Torrents do not only download, they also have a constant UPLOAD, which is extremely taxing on any phone battery on mobile data, especially pixels with their relatively inefficient Samsung modem. Also if your cell reception was bad, then your phone has for 10 hours - constantly and desperately - tried to make an upload, which ensured that you basically had no idle drain whatsoever. No wonder your numbers are bad in that case.
