[Google Pixel Watch 2] Morgrain:
Battery life has definitely degraded over time, seems like the software has gone worse.

The watch also drains like crazy when you lay it down, you can see that the sensor battery is constantly trying to read your pulse, even though its lying on concrete, wood, a towel... whatever. The watch does not understand that its lying somewhere and that it needs to stop trying to work.

The battery life sometimes also massively differs.

Sometimes a 4 hour bike ride with GPS tracking drains ~40-50% battery.

Sometimes a 4 hour bike ride with GPS tracking drains ~95% of the battery and the watch goes off.

Some people claimed that with the recent patch, the watch goes crazy in terms of battery life in Europe and other places because of the fall detection - seemingly it bugs where it's not possible to activate the feature, but the watch thinks that the feature is constantly active.

Some said with a restart they remedied the issue, however many people in the US with "access" to that "feature" also have battery life problems.

Whatever the reasons, I am disappointed in my Pixel Watch 2 and stopped using it as my "daily watch". I went back to my Withings Scanwatch for sleep tracking and steps tracking, simply because that battery holds for 2 weeks without a charge. I only use my Pixel Watch 2 now to track my workouts - and even that annoys me. If I lay down the Pixel Watch 2 after a workout (~60% battery), I need to keep in mind to always place it on the charger, or the watch will be empty the next day - without doing ANYTHING on the watch. It's just lying there, draining battery for no reason. You simply can't trust the watch to hold a charge - without using the watch at all - so it becomes more of an annoyance than an aid.

If I hadn't gotten the watch "for free" when pre-ordering the Pixel 8 Pro, I'd probably be thrice as annoyed.

I struggle to understand why Google doesn't understand that battery life is EVERYTHING. You can have every feature in the world - without a decent battery life it's worth NOTHING.

It's the same struggle with my Pixel phones, my P8 Pro in the last 1 1/2 months also started struggling to make it through the day, even though nothing changed on my end (I already rooted the phone to stop most call-homes from Google apps, plus have a constant light battery saver mode on... - still not enough. Omegasized sigh). And if you dare shoot pictures or even take videos, then the phone will say goodbye at 1600 already. It keeps being the most annoying factor with any Google hardware product: mediocre to trash battery life.

Considering that the most recent teardown leak revealed that the Pixel 9 won't even have Qi2, I'll probably skip that phone and hope for the Pixel 10 to have better battery life. Hopefully TMSC can finally give Google a good and efficient processor.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] rodken:
Over the years after researching, I discovered a few methods which can be taken with a grain of salt:

-- Always on screen

-- Auto brightness off (usually set to 4 or 3 brightness)

-- Sunlight boost off [if available]

-- Tilt to wake on

-- Touch to wake on

-- Wrist gestures off

-- Background heart rate on

-- WiFi off

-- Sound off

-- NFC off

-> Go to Settings - Apps & Notifications - App-Info and System Apps:

Clear cache and data for the following system apps:

Shell

Download manager

System UI

Package Installer

Android system [cache only]

Allow 24 - 48 hours for WearOS to readjust to the new settings and make your own determination.

As a side note, I have the non-LTE version and noticed a possible bug that doesn't clear recent calls within the phone app. Therefore, I took the liberty of disabling both the Phone and Phone Services apps within Wear OS for even more battery gain.

This and it's always the same, device after device.

I'm already planning on skipping the P9P and taking a look at the OP13 when it comes out.

Funny thing, Friday, I put mine on the charger and forgot to put it on before bed, before work AND after I got home that next day. Saturday morning I put it on and yesterday morning it was still lat 84%! Then the rapid drain kicked in

my device is Reeder S19 Max. i used fastboot oem unlock and it gave me that error. pls help
[General Questions and Answers] bilalrajput:
it means u need permissions to unlock bootloader using key
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Double-check that you're using the correct fastboot commands for your device.

Typical commands for unlocking the bootloader might involve fastboot flashing unlock or fastboot oem unlock <UNLOCK_CODE> (if your device uses a manufacturer-specific unlock code).
[General Questions and Answers] yomqt:
fastboot flashing unlock doesnt work, how can i get an unlock code?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
You request from OEM.
[General Questions and Answers] yomqt:
how
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
If there's an official website for "Reeder" that showcases their products, it might explicitly mention the manufacturer behind the S19 Max. If it's notthen the retailer where you purchased the phone might have listed the manufacturer's name on the product page or receipt.

If none of these approaches yield a clear answer, the OEM for the "Reeder S19 Max" might remain difficult to pinpoint.

I have read somewhere that there is a newer build of Opera Mobile than the one included with the Touch HD. This can be downloaded somewhere and is supposed to work with Flash Lite 3 for support of playing Youtube videos within the browser and so on.

Does anybody have experience with this? Does it support the WVGA-resolution on the Touch HD? Where can it be dowloaded?

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] lord4ndy:
Hi all!

I have bought an S24 Ultra (SM-S9280) in mainland china, which has the CSC-CHC firmware originally. I live in europe and as such I use a lot of google services and also realised that the CHC version uses Baidu AI for its Galaxy AI as opposed to Google AI/Gemini. That's why I want to flash the HK CSC-TGY firmware to my phone. To my knowledge, flashing an official firmware using the Odin tool shouldn't trigger the knox counter and as such should not void the warranty. I don't really care about the warranty itself, but I would prefer not triggering knox.

Therefore I have a couple of questions, as I have never flashed a phone:

1. Will I be able to use the Google services and Google AI after flashing to HK? Or is there any other firmware that could solve this?

2. Will this void the warranty? Or more importantly does flashing to a different CSC firmware trigger the knox counter, as I would still like to use the samsung apps that are protected by knox?

3. Are the informations on this site (https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-S9280) trustworthy? If not, then where should I get the official firmware?

4. Any advice for flashing using Odin, as this is my first time?

Thank you in advance for the answers and sorry for the long post!!

Greetings people!

As the title says, is there a way to theme/skin the statusbar icons on One UI 6.1? (specifically in a S24U).

I know that Hex Plugin exists, but when I tried, nothing changed on my end, and I would like to change the statusbar icons for AOSP-like icons.

If anyone knows how to do it, please let me know, thank you! =D
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Xpid3r:
You can use Hex Builder for themes.

First, you have to set up Shizuku and then Hex builder ( Most Plugins are Paid )

So, I tried following one of threads here on how to install lineageOS gsi rom on my device but I failed (even though I'm sure that I followed all the steps properly)

Is there who can personally guide+help me to properly install this?
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] iamgoodthanks:
in twrp format data, reboot to recovery. press install, make sure you have lineage os in ur pc, next make sure you have adb and fastboot installed. move the adb and fastboot to the c:\ drive, copy the lineage os img in the adb folder. open cmd and type this: cd C:\platform-tools\" "adb devices" "adb reboot recovery" and finally the last thing: "adb push (imgfilename).img /sdcard/TWRP/" and now go to install, install img, select the img file, and now select it as the system img, swipe and now if done you should has lineage os now. try this at your own risk cause this step would bootloop your phone. sorry for my bad language

Hey Guys!

Today I maked a ROM based on N910FXXU1COJ3 (BOG) which is Lited, Pre-Rooted and a with a few other tweaks.

SAMSUNG OR XDA OR MYSELF ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT HAPPENS ON YOUR PHONE!

It's based on Android 5.1.1

All Kernel etc are the same as Samsung.

There is no bugs but if you find any please tell me.

Note : This ROM should be installed from TWRP and there are screenshots.

I was planning to warranty replace my HTC Kaiser II tomorrow due to the fact that the touch screen stopped accepting taps properly . The touch became terrible , parts of it not working , etc.

I now "Aligned the the screen" and it seems that it is all back to normal , working fine.

So how T Mobile UK (and HTC) warranty works , do they actually check if the originals work or not , or do they just exchange them and drop the originals in the bin.

I might decide to play dumb and exchange it anyway ;)

PS. Much cleverer way to get the latest ROM instead of going through endless steps by doing it yourself ;)
[General Topics] burtcom:
Here in the USA, at least, HTC does check -- and they might charge you a "diagnostic" fee if it they decide the device is not in warranty.

If the rm7 screen has 165hz, why do you only get 120hz on rm9? Any thoughts on how we could overclock refresh rate? Tx.
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] lambstone:
Nothing that us regular users can do.

For any possibility of overclocking, we would need someone to develop a custom kernel for the phone. Most XDA users are just that, regular users. We can't do anything except wait for a developer to take on this project.

Also, overclocking refresh rates IF possible, will probably result in issues such as discoloration of long term damage to the screen. As an example, the Xiaomi Mi9T could handle a overclock from 60hz to 75hz with slight green tint, at 80-90hz it was unstable.
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] Darksteel165:
^^^This.

Colors get washed out like crazy to the point you can't ignore how bad it looks at high refresh rates on screens not designed to run at them. I can force my rog 3 to run at 160hz and it's so bad. Even the 144 which it's suppose to run at looks terrible. 120 is salvageable.

You wouldn't be happy with your RM9 if you pushed it to 160 I'm sure of it.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] kevfra:
I have three different vintages of Galaxy watches, up to the recent 6. All use the same Gear app on my Android phone, and no problems there. My issue is that I like to change which watch I wear depending on my activity, and every time I switch watches I have to reconfigure the Gear app, make all the changes, and then change again for a different watch. Pain the butt.

Is there a way to avoid this? Even if I have to load mutliple copies of the app on my phone, each one dedicated to a specific watch. But really I should be able to just switch watches in the app. In fact it does allow that, but it changes the info such as Google pay etc. I'm looing for a painless way to make frequent transitions.

Thanks!

A longtime ago, in a galaxy far, far away, when TWRP was new and cyanogen was making most of the roms, I think it was possible to extract your stock firmware and bootloader use a script or such to get root and a twrp boot rom.

Is it still possible?

but I can't find any custom roms for it or any of the off brand phones from Acp (dialn, vortexs, ky, blue, etc)

Hey,

I was wondering if it would be possible to get build props from the flashable rom zip ?

I wanted to try to patch the boot img for Magisk directly from my pc. The only thing missing is props to make it completely automatic.

Thank you !
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Yes, it is possible to get the build.prop file from a flashable ROM zip for Android devices.

Here's how:

Use a file archiver like PeaZip or 7zip to extract the contents of the ROM zip.

Navigate through the extracted folders. Typically, you'll find the build.prop file within the /system directory of the extracted ROM.

hi all,

i've experienced my wifi speed connection to slowdown to about 1MBit/s even with the device being connected with more than 1GBit/s to the router on 5GHz wifi5. This is definately either a HW or FW issue as I have reproduced it with two different poco F6 pro devices several times. Both with european ROM (version 1.0.3.0 or 1.0.2.0). Have many other devices also from Poco here not having the issue. I have returned the devices for now but would order them again if there is a fix. Does anyone know if the issue is FW related and if there is e.g. a custom ROM which works fine?

Kind regards,

am
[Xiaomi Poco F6 Pro / Redmi K70] Theliels:
No issues here. correcly linked to 866Mbps over 802.11ac with expected real speeds, tested on EEA and xiaomi.eu

Maybe a issue with your Router? Have you try in another networks?
[Xiaomi Poco F6 Pro / Redmi K70] am2013:
Thanks for the feedback. It seems that the issue does not occur always. I have seen some other complaints in other forums. Someone suggested to use 5GHz channels below 100. In my case speed was very good when the device/router decided to use 80MHz channel bandwidth. This was only once. All the other times the bandwidth was 160MHz and I did not check the channel in use. I have no way to enforce a specific bandwidth. Anyway I can rule out the router as I have some 20 other devices connected which do not have any issues at all regardless of 80MHz or 160MHz. A Poco F3 has zero issues when performing the same tests.

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] IsHacker:
Does your keyboard appear if you try typing in an intensive app? If no then it's because some app is hogging the RAM. Otherwise it may be the CPU always being it 100% usage. You can check CPU and RAM usage in real time with DevInfoOverlay app. It will show you transparent overlays. Also, did you tinker with the screen resolution using the wm size command? Increasing screen resolution causes higher RAM usage. (If you don't understand what I'm saying, you probably didn't increase your screen resolution).
