[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Is the battery good?

Had that happen on my last N10+ battery failure. Was working fine and just went dead with 60% still on it. With a new battery is booted straight up.

If the battery is older than 2-3 years and/or less than 80% it's original capacity it's degraded. Degraded Li's are much more likely to fail.

If there's any doubt replace the battery before you proceed.
[Lenovo P11] JanK411:
Hello hello 👋

I have a Lenovo P11 android tablet and don't have the password anymore (the owner of that tablet died and we try to get access to the data on that device). I try to download the data to my computer but actually I'm out of ideas.

We tried:

- adb connection to the device via recovery mode (device is not being detected, seems like adb is not active in recovery mode)

- same with fastboot mode. Also "fastboot devices" doesn't show any device.

- we also found a modus called "meta mode". This seems to be something Lenovo specific, but we didn't find any further information about this mode and also failed to establish any connection to that device.

Does someone of you have any idea on how to access the data on that tablet?

Years ago I was doing a lot with android devices, adb, fastboot, custom rooms etc. But that's years ago, so maybe some things changed or I forgot some things.

We are happy about any hint that you can provide us with.

Greetings

/data partition is encrypted, so you can't do anything without pin/pattern/password.
[Lenovo P11] JanK411:
oh that's a pity. But thank you so much for your quick reply!

I thougt maybe it might be possible to sideload a custom recovery with adb access via fastboot, then connect and then try via adb.

What do you think? Not a chance or worth a try?

Greentings!

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Ghdab75:
Dear Gentlemen of the forum, I come to ask for your help regarding my problem of how to recover the cam-in and aux-in input.

Thank you in advance to everyone who helps with any ideas.

1- After I updated to Android 9, almost everything works fine, except the cam-in and aux-in input.

In desperation I made the serious mistake of unconfiguring CAR Factory Setting and nothing helped.

2- Downgrade the firmware to the latest Android 6 firmware HA_PX5_6.0 (20180201) from the manufacturer Dasaita and MTCE_HA_V3.78. And the problem persists, a triangle with an exclamation mark appears and a black screen on the aux-in.

3- NOTE: I tested the aux-in input with the DVD player and the black screen appears. I tested the camera externally with a source and TV and it works well. I tested the cables and they work.

4- I think I changed the FActory setting settings.

Could someone provide some dmcu.cfg so that I can try to recover the cam-in and aux-in entries. Because for me the rear camera is essential.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ebod:
Hi, Can someone steer me along to a shutdown task on my Galaxy Tab A SM-T295 that I'm trying to automate into a car dash mounted tablet.

I've managed to set its bios to auto power up on receiving charge power, now I need to do the reverse for when I exit the car.

I've managed to get the task started with a dialogue call up, but I can't proceed further to sequence the first & second power off buttons. I tried to plot a screen position to force a button press, but thats where my very limited tasker skills failed me.

Hope the pics make sense for what I'm trying to achieve.

ThanksView attachment 6103898View attachment 6103899View attachment 6103900
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ebod:
I sorted it out now. basically I had to switch on pointer location and carefully record the positions of the two Power Off buttons. So the action was AutoInput Point to coordinates as shown above, but an extra line for the second action.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] Deformat:
Hello,

I want to do the following: install LineageOS with microg, then install Magisk. My phone has the latest stock Android 13.

As far as I understand, I can install LineageOS, then I must sideload microg, then I must sideload Magisk. However, as far as I understand, my device must have ramdisk. Does Pixel 4a (Sunfish) have ramdisk?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Piombofed:
Hi everyone, on Android beta 14 I found an apk of Google photos where it enabled magic editor on pixel 7 Pro, I switched to beta 15 and performed a clean install so I no longer have magic editor, does anyone have an APK or system to make it work again. thanks so much in advance everyone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
When I am home and looking at the satellite view on my Maps app, I can zoom in, look at a campground, and see the fire rings, cars, and other structures in great detail. But when I drive to that campground and zoom in, the detail is replaced by a blur. I downloaded a map that covers the campground but when I zoom in I get the same blur.

When I'm away and at a campground, how can I see the same detail that I see when I look at that campground at home? IOW, how do I "load" the map that I downloaded?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
If you're referring to satellite imagery, downloading a map for an area doesn't include that. It would take an awful lot of space!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
Yes, I'm referring to satellite imagery. I need the satellite view for when I'm hiking in the woods. I've downloaded, named, and saved several maps.

When I'm home, my Pixel can display detailed imagery right down to the individual power line wires no matter where I navigate to. When I don't have an internet connection, my Pixel can display satellite detail but not when I zoom all the way in, even though I've downloaded the maps.

Maybe I just don't know how to load my downloaded maps??
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] schmeggy929:
You pretty much answered your own question. Without an internet connection, Maps cannot grab the latest data to display. Regardless if you downloaded the map of the area, the app does not fetch the downloaded data. It will try to pull the current location data from the internet.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
What? No. Offline maps are offline maps, it doesn't need to "grab the latest data to display". What does "fetch the downloaded data" even mean?

As I said, offline maps don't include satellite imagery. That's it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
I've been fiddling around at home since my trip in which I was unable to zoom in for the detail that I can see at home. I disabled my phone SIM and turned off my wi-fi. Then I looked at the area around my house and when I zoomed in, some parts were blurred. But when I looked at where I was on my trip, nothing was blurred, all the way zoomed in. Go figger.

The first image Maps displays a location with WiFi and SIM both enabled.

The second image displays the same location but with WiFi and SIM disabled.

View attachment 6104320View attachment 6104323

So what do I gain with offline maps since I see no difference between them and what the Maps app displays without them?

I thought that a downloaded map would show that which is blurred but I was either wrong or I didn't "enable" the downloaded map to the Maps app.

And it does seem that my map downloads are around128 MB, which is rather small.

Any comments?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
Oh my god, you can't be serious.

Let's try it one more time: OFFLINE MAPS DO NOT CONTAIN SATELLITE IMAGERY.

Those parts that are clear when you're offline are just cached, not part of the offline map.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
Okay. I believe you. Could you tell me where I can find more information on what the advantages of offline maps are when compared to the satellite imagery that comes with the Maps app?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
None. They're different things. Offline maps help you navigate on roads when you're off network. They only include vector maps and some POIs, they're not there to help you hike.

I'm not even aware of any hiking app that does satellite in detail - if there is one I'd like to see the size of the data packs!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Skuddle:
Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it!

I found a lot of info on the internet about Google Maps. Much of it is outdated, and some of it doesn't always apply to my Pixel 7 Pro.

I've noticed that my although "Timeline" shows roughly where I've driven, and is great for city driving, it's a different story when I'm on obscure county or USFS/BLM roads and I zoom all the way in. Satellite detail just isn't there. I have a dedicated GPSr (a Delorme PN 60 that I've used since 2012) that can leave a track mark every 10 feet if I so enable it, and that allows me to import tracks into GoogleEarth where I can "relive" my trip. Good for rainy days...

For general GPS use where wifi is readily available, the Maps app accurately tracks my current location. However, for off-road and two-track driving in the desert mountains of eastern Nevada and southern Utah, my Delorme PN 60 can't be beat, and it will be a sad, sad day when it finally goes belly-up.

In closing, I'm not sure if I should delete the off-line maps I've downloaded, since I don't see any difference when I'm in desolated areas. I'll keep them for now though.

When I do the "telnetd" and open up a telnet, I get an error connection notice, and can't get root.

What am I doing wrong?
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
step 1. open up terminal emulator.

step 2. type su.

step 3. click yes or always in the dialog that pops up on the phone.

you now have root.
[G1 Android Development] necromancerr:
Yes. Open terminal emulator, type in su. you have root like jf said. if you want root in telnet, then under root type

$su

#telnetd

hit the home button and run telnet and connect, you'll have a sucessful connection.

[Google Pixel 8a] lightuser:
Got my 8a yesterday but not sure when I'll have time to migrate over to it. I compared it only physically to my 5a and my wife's 6a, leaving it on its initial setup screen.

Coming from the 5a, I think I like the rounded corners as the 5a was also rounded. The sharp corners on the 6a feel more strange to me.

The 8a is obviously shorter and a bit narrower than the 5a, but also feels much thicker, even more than it looks. The camera "visor" also sticks out a bit more than on the 6a which is more than the 5a camera bump. I can feel its edge snag fabric a bit when I tried slipping it into pockets.

If I look for a case, it will probably be one like Google's branded case, where it has a gap for the visor and smooths out this edge, rather than bumping out even further to cover the visor.
[Google Pixel 8a] mvikrant97:
Congratulations.
[Google Pixel 8a] maybeme2:
Does the 8a have fast charging?

How much time does it take to go from 30% to 80%?

Thank you.
[Google Pixel 8a] lightuser:
It has something it shows as "rapid charging".

I honestly don't know how long that charge would take. I always charge mine before bed with an alarm set, so it does what it calls "adaptive charging" and reaches full just in the hour or so before the alarm time.
[Google Pixel 8a] maybeme2:
Thank you. I'm thinking of getting one.

The reason I asked is I think that I read that one of the differences between the pixel 8a and the pixel 8 is that the 8a does not have rapid charging. If so that's a significant downside for me.
[Google Pixel 8a] lightuser:
The 8a lists 18W wired charging and 7.5W wireless. The 8 lists 27W wired and 18W wireless. Their batteries are pretty close to the same size, so that should give you some idea of the difference in speed for the 30-80% charge level.

I saw in a GSM Arena review that they got about 130 minutes for a full charge cycle on the 8a.

I typically charge my phone about once a week, so this topic isn't one I usually care about. Instead, I wish there was a toggle to force adaptive or slow charging even if I decide to plug it in at a different time or on a night where I don't set an alarm!
[Google Pixel 8a] maybeme2:
Thank you.

Install Instructions say update to Android 10 before but my XZ2 (Bootloader already unlocked) is Android 9 and there is no update available.. What would be the best practice going to LOS 21?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] dtrunk90:
You have to be on latest Stock Android 10 once before switching to LineageOS. You can do so by downloading it via XperiFirm and flashing it with flashtool or newflasher.

This custom rom is great!

There is only one problem, in settings => battery it shows my battery capacity as 2300mah.

I just recently replaced the battery with a new one. My guess is that it still has information about the old battery, is there any way to reset it?

Unfortunately no. Better use the original battery.

Thank you for this ROM. !!

I'm still so happy that you guys help us using old devices by maintaining them. I just bought a XZ2c to replace my Galaxy S5 which is no longer supported by LOS. I kept it 3 years (second hand, not bad for a device from 2015). I hope I could use my "new" XZ2c at least 3 years too.

No issues so far with LOS 21 (coming from Android 10), works like a charm for what I tried. OSMand is sooooooo fast now compared to my S5.

Had some issues installing LOS21, but not more than with my S5 (the 47% error + probably some mistakes I made not updating drivers, feared a bricked device but fortunately, booted again).

Thanks again !

Hi @dtrunk90 thanks for the LOS21 - a "beer" was sent via PP.

Also was seeking for a PANORAMA cam - and yesterday I found your old Magisk related repo via Post form May 22nd ... not working perfectly but at least I hava a PANORAMIC function back to my XZ2c. I'm a bit surprised that searching/finding was time consuming. (actually app complains another cam is active, nevertheless saves my panorama :cowboy: )

If sb knows a flawless PANORAMIC cam app please do not hesitate to suggest :-)

please keep LOS(21) alive (y)

ANOTHER question anybody dealing with intunes/company portal? mine was recognized as rooted (magisk/Shamiko/deny/PlayIntegrityFix) on XZ2c unlike other phone similar setup on Paranoid A13. One reason tor me to switch from Sony OFC A9 to LOS21 was that (before?) I killed second/work profile capability somehow years ago.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] linolino:
MS TEAMS is what I want, Outlook would only be a benefit. for me no way without "Intune".

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] pirnagra:
I have a problem with my microphone. In calls but also with the integrated recorder app my microphone seems to be not working (very very very quiet - only audible if sound file is listened to on pc with max output).

I thought the mic was just broken and did all my calls with headphones but now I downloaded a microphone-test app and there it worked way better...

any advice?

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] zpunout:
I had microphone issues and used an industrial ultra-sonic water immersion cleaner for 30 seconds which improved it significantly. Then a few months later I repeated the process, but for a longer period of time which destroyed the microphone entirely.
