[General Questions and Answers] bella92108:
It's been forever since I have been on this forum (went to the dark side 🍎) and I have just been getting back to the Android side of things. I wil say WOW have things changed while I have been gone.

I am working on a project, and I am looking for assistance in selecting an Android device to use for the project. Basically what I am doing is creating a demo on a screen that'll be fed by a device using HDMI for demo display videos. I have been using an iPad with a USB C to HDMI output, but that's become too much of a pain to just put new videos on it or always worry about having server connectivity... so here's what I'm trying to get at:

A phone device capable of running Android\VLC Player with the following:

- a built in microSD card slot

- a usb C that will let me put a dongle or use a mhl cable to output to a HDMI

So clearly my needs aren't too stringent. Nice thing is even a prepaid phone would likely work since I don't actually need it to be activated, so I'm more just looking for the hardware that will allow me to do this.

I picked up a Samsung Galaxy Tab FE 9 at Costco thinking this would work, but it turns out it doesn't have the capability of outputting to HDMI... even with an MHL cable, so that scratched that idea.

So then I got to thinking, there's got to be a cheap phone that I can buy as a prepaid or unlocked on Amazon that would provide exactly what I need. And I thought what better place than the forums here.

Sorry mods, if I put this in the wrong forum, please feel free to move it for me.

Thanks for all your help everyone!

Any Samsung Galaxy S series from the S8 upwards supports Samsung Dex, obviously newer phones will not have a sd card. I use my S9 for gaming with a Zeskris steam deck, so it charges while being used.

​
[General Questions and Answers] bella92108:
will the S series work with an MDL cable to allow it to charge and output to HDMI as well at the same time? Or use a USB C universal dongle like Amazon has for like $10 to inject power?
[General Questions and Answers] Not_Rich:
You need HDMI v 2.1 to get power over the cable, I am not sure what mine are, but I have tested with 4 different displays and my S9 doesn't charge with any of them using an HDMI to usb c cable.

The docking station does the job.

Edit my S23 charges using the same monitor and cable as the S9 which didn't charge.

Hey! I used to root and rim all my devices, but stopped doing that when it became more trouble than it was worth. I'm rooted with magisk running fine. What next?

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] lesiot:
Unroot?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] sic0048:
I mean if you don't already have a specific reason to root, then you probably want to unroot/relock the bootloader. Rooting is STILL more trouble than it is worth unless you have a specific reason/need to root that makes putting up with the crap worth it.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
Flash Sultan Kernel and play with some Magisk Modules
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] StanWiz:
Sultan kernel ? It's not bad but dont expect monthly updates as soon as a new google update becomes available. Not worth the hassle - stick with stock kernel . jmho
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
That's OK, I've been running it across 2 devices. It's the best kernel out there.

Please don't dis someone's work and effort when they contribute to the community for free.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] StanWiz:
Dis someone's work and effort ? You gave advice and I voiced my opinion (based on personal experience). Where did I disrespect you or the developer of the said kernel ?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] fil3s:
I have an unlocked bootloader on a15 latest beta, and the smoothness of the OS is refreshing. I'm thinking of rooting again as I would love my black theme with red accent and saturation module.

If you've just rooted you could check out androidacy module manager. Note, it's probably ok to just grab it from apkmirror as the official site is a pain to download it from :)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] MrxSiN:
This sound like you don't have particular reason to root your device.

For me, I root for :

- unlimited Google photos

- remove ads

- call recording (without announcement)

- detach app from playstore

- limit charging

- customizing stock rom

- and tasker things.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] x111:
I wonder those of you who said that they do not need root rights (freedom) on their phones,

how in the world do you backup all your apps and restoring it after factory reset (full wipe) ?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
Which is the top reason I root mine.,
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] znel52:
Step 1) Root

Step 2) Flash a bunch of modules and change a bunch of settings to hide the fact you are rooted.

Step 3) ???????
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] kingpeppermint:
You are aware that Google is actually behind with their monthly's? they need to develop for the masses so test longer, many costum roms integrate the updates google introduces in month 3 already in month 1 because they have shorter lines. that is one of the advantages of a custom kernel

I have to ask, why would you root your device without having purpose to do so?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] inthedark22:
Youtube is your friend. Enough root videos and apps that use root.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] sic0048:
First, let me say that I am currently rooted. Therefore I obviously see the value of rooting......

That being said, how often do you think non-rooted people have to factory reset their phones? I'd argue almost never unless they are participating in a Android Beta and want out, etc. Furthermore, Google does a great job at restoring apps and many of them retain data, etc. I don't have to back up my email, phone contacts, text messages, games progress, etc because they are generally restored with the app. The Google Play store has come a long way in the last few years with regard to restoring apps/data.

Now obviously there are always a few apps that don't restore data, but a lot of times they provide their own method of backing up data which can be restored after a wipe.

My Himalaya has some hardware issues, the power button is gone, but still functional and the bottom connector is gone as well. Everything else is working fine. Maybe I can make someone happy with this one. It is pretty complete with 12 Volt charger with GPS mouse, headset, cradle, metal case. Just give me a PM, so we can work something out. I live in the Netherlands, so shipping may or may not be a problem.

[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] -GREY:
Good day!

Hi everyone,

May I ask, how is the charging port of the Turbo 3, given that it has a plastic frame? Does the charging cable fit perfectly in the port? In my experience with phone (POCO F3) that has plastic frame, the charging port degrades significantly over time. The charging cable does wobble a bit, and in the worst-case scenario, it ends up not recognizing the cable, sending it eventually to the repair center.

I ask this because the seller has not yet accepted my order of Turbo 3. So, I still have time to cancel in case.

Thank you!
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] Schmuppes:
Maybe your charging port was just dirty after a while in your pockets. On my RN11, I had to poke around a little with a scalpel to clean it. After that, the cable locked perfectly again.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] NOSS8:
I saw you asked about unlocking the bootloader.

This is no longer possible without using a paid third-party service.
[Xiaomi Poco F6 / Redmi Turbo 3] -GREY:
yeah, for Redmi K70.. thats why I opted to Turbo 3. But my problem with this device is the plastic frame. Nonetheless, already placed my order.

don´t know about the K70, but the unlock one that no longer works, for free, is the RT3.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] TNSMANI:
Me too.

Most likely the drivers have been corrupted or your PC has an issue. While installing drivers afresh, ensure that 'driver signing' is disabled in Windows and then install the correct drivers. You can google 'driver signing' to find methods of doing it.

Try another laptop or PC.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] NZJon:
I wonder if there is something wrong with the USB C port on the phone?

I should have mentioned that when plugged in to the laptop it always starts charging. It just is never recognised as a valid USB device. And yes, I have the USB options enabled in my Developer Settings.

🤔
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TNSMANI:
If file transfer is enabled but the PC doesn't see the phone, then the USB port may be faulty or drivers corrupted. Both are possible.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Nimueh:
You said you installed the Oneplus USB drivers - but how about the Google USB drivers, did you install those too? And you HAVE to disable driver verification for the Oneplus drivers - otherwise it will look like it installed properly when actually it didn't.

Here are all the driver links from our OP groups on Telegram - maybe you missed one?

[OnePlus 9 Pro] nabril15:
Spoiler content hidden.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Could be just a charge cable and not a charge/sync cable?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] NZJon:
Many thanks all for your suggestions -- I really appreciate you taking the time.

I think that maybe Nimueh and nabril15 might have come the closest: when I disabled the Windows Driver Checking thing (and then rebooted), I saw a red warning about unsigned drivers when I installed the OnePlus drivers. I don't recall seeing that before. So perhaps that means the drivers were now installed properly.

After rebooting my laptop again... I still haven't had any success: my (personal) laptop (which doesn't have USB ports "locked down") steadfastly refuses to detect my phone. And adb and fastboot are unable to detect any devices either.

I have tried a variety of cables, and I am convinced it is not a "cable" problem.

I am leaning towards there being a fault with the USB C port in my phone. Which would kind of suck. I don't exactly know how to tell if this is the case, except by trying to use a different laptop/PC, in order to rule out a problem with my laptop.

Thanks again for your suggestions & time 👍

Jon

Before going too far with Custom ISO, consider reading this article below.

You really shouldn't use a custom Windows ISO

Don't risk your data and safety

Personally, it would be better to use the official ISO provided by Microsoft. If you think there is some annoying bloat, you can delete it and make some tweaks and adjustments to your PC.
[Windows 11] xXx yYy:
Custom Windows 11 ISOs do exist. They are created by modifying the original Windows 11 ISO file to include or remove certain features, applications, or settings.

Simply search this forum for them: several are provided there. :)

It's fascinating how much customization is possible nowadays. For those who prefer more control over their OS, this could be a game-changer.

The Magisk app is being detected by getPackageInfo(). From what I remember in the past change logs, it seems there was a method to change the package name and reinstall to prevent the package from being detected. My current version is 27.0 (27000).

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] MrH.uk:
For some stupid reason I thought it would be a good idea to put a custom Android 14 on it, but first I needed to update to the latest firmware, and that's where everything went wrong, after the firmware updated the phone went black and it has stayed that way, it's completely dead.

I've installed the ADB and USB drivers but my phone isn't recognised by my PC at all in EDL mode. I have tried the Oneplus Recovery Tool and MSM with no luck. I think it's because it doesn't show up in the device manager at all, even though I've installed the drivers multiple times. I'm on Windows 11 and I don't have the original cable, but I've tried multiple high quality cables with no difference.

I really can't afford a new phone so if anyone has any ideas please share them, I've been trying to fix this for the past 4 hours and I've gotten nowhere.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
The exact same thing happened to me a month back on my OP 9 Pro. The difference was two months earlier, i suddenly had a freeze and black screen. Then after sometime I was able to boot it as if nothing happened. (May be that was a warning). Then one month later, I had the bright idea to install a custom A14 ROM. Like you, needing to update the firmware, I tried the one provided by the custom ROM dev. Completely dead.

I took it to OnePlus and they wanted to change the motherboard costing about 3/4 the price of the phone. Then I gave it to a local repair guy who replaced components on the motherboard at a fraction of the cost. It has been working flawlessly for the past 20 days now.

I am not saying that is what happened to your phone but the similarity struck me. Hope that you are able to recover yours without much difficulty.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] MrH.uk:
Honestly mate after 6 hours of messing with it I'm done, I've ordered a OnePlus Nord 2T which is currently on sale and it'll arrive tomorrow. I've learned a costly lesson today, don't mess with something that's not broken, especially if you don't know what you're doing. I suppose the silver lining is at least it's an upgrade over what I had, and the 7 Pro had a good innings.
