I've recently discovered xXx, but what I've noticed over the last two weeks is a lot of backgrounded apps are getting killed. Like I'm playing music, and press the power button to turn off the screen. A few seconds later the music stopped, and restarting the app shows the full initialisation...

An update to the BT Sport app (streaming sports in UK) can now detect when I have my USB-C HDMI adapter connected to the phone, so I can no longer display live sports games in the app on my TV. Does anyone know of a way to hide the HDMI status from apps? I have rooted with Magisk, I can't see...

I magisk rooted, and debloated my OP7P using package manager, including removing the Google LatinIME keyboard because I use a 3rd party keyboard, and now have no keyboard available in my Work Profile, assumedly because the corporate policy is to disallow all 3rd party keyboards. I have the...

How many charge cycles have you gone through since starting Accu? For 15 days will be reasonably accurate, but if you've only had 1 or 2 charges then Accu will be much less accurate. Also, do big charge sessions , e.g. 20% to 100%, and leave the charger connected for a while after hitting 100%...

You need to be on the latest stock pie UK multi csc rom - OXM.

Sorry guys the Samsung Members app is telling me my account or device isn't registered now :( This is after a factory reset and sideloading the first 3 betas.

Where/how should it be uploaded? Might be able to get the 4th/prehotfix update for S9 soon

I reapplied B1, then B2, then B3, all via sideload. All went fine. Maybe I screwed up somewhere the first time round.

Was on BTU/OXM, and installed Beta 2 fine. However getting regular self-reboots so want to try Beta 3. Can't flash from SD card ("Couldn't mount /sdcard"). Trying adb sideload update.zip -> starts OK but ends with .... ... check device info system partition has unexpected contents. this...

Since installing beta 2 (dirty plus twrp and magisk) my in-call volume seems really quiet - difficult to hear the other person at max volume. Anyone else noticed this?

Custom kernel options? Battery life optimisation Has anyone got recommendations for a Pie custom kernel optimised for battery? e.g. On Oreo I was using francokernel, I can't see any chat for any new/updated kernels over in the subforum https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/development...

The cause for "temperature too low" for me was a slightly unseated battery connector. The middle pin of the battery connection provides the temperature signal. I stuck some thin foam onto the top of the connector so that the rear case of the phone forces the battery connector a little more...

Updated a non-rooted, no-TWRP TB-8704F (the 3GB/64GB non-Plus version) to oreo via OTA. Then followed the first post TWRP plus Magisk 17.3 (beta), and then the magisk module to make /system RW. All working perfectly. Fast, and now debloated (especially that Lenovo Weather pos)

Endurance Kernel fixed it. Had to re-run root as in post #1. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/samsung-galaxy-s9--s9-cross-device-development/kernel-endurance-kernel-v1-0-t3849434

After root: Warning: Camera failed Normal Camera works fine, but on trying anything video related - e.g. super slo mo, the phone freezes and popup says "Warning: camera failed". Looks like it's well known, but the only "solution" I've seen is to unroot/reflash stock. Anyone on this thread...
