Update location in Google still does not work

i guess we should wait couple of days before showing up in the market.
I have a couple of things to report:
Heavy pages most of the time gives an out of memory message then the browser close,ie9 works fine
The browser won't remember any of the history...
Version is 2.4 and device is lumia800.

This release is 2.5 Dum3! Update it and it might resolve your issues.
Sent from my HD7 using Board Express

I know it is 2.5,but it is not yet available in the market...Will surely update when it will be

Thunder mode stopped working a while ago. App is practically useless without this functionality as UC's main draw is reduced data usage. Kudos to the UC team for effort expended but u really need to urgently address this long outstanding glitch

Still not in the market...

Tried 2.5 but it still says location unavailable when I log into Google
Also the browser needs an exit option as you have to keep backing all the way before it says do you want to exit
But thanks anyway

Cyanogenmod 11 for HTC One Mini 2

Hi All,
I know this is a fairly new device, but I was super keen to get it specifically to put cyanogenmod 11 on. After having some trouble with the current version of TWRP posted in another thread here on XDA (which only worked when the phone was in an "out of the box" state, requiring me to do a factory reset due to a mini android update that was automatically applied between reboots - resolved), I got the stable channel release of CM11 which is listed as not having any issues, flashed it, and am having some issues.
The main problem I am experiencing is that regardless of which player I am using, if I open "Settings" from the status bar, whatever media I am playing goes silent. The player appears to still be playing, changing tracks, removing and reinserting headphones, clearing the playlist, re-opening the player...nothing fixes it. And then randomly some time later it will start making sound again if I leave the player running. Is there anyone else that can provide insight into this one? I have heard the problem is addressed for some in CM12, but that is not yet stable for our device.
Cheers.

I can confirm that you also lose system sounds, and that it applies even if you have no headphones plugged in and instead use the phone speaker. Total silence after accessing the settings from the statusbar. I have of course posted this on the Cyanogenmod system, but they have closed it pending a report dump which I cant produce till i am back at my android modding PC.

You have to remove the equaliser from quick settings. You can also use cm 12

As much as I understand you requiring help, you should post questions in the Q&A section and not in the development section.

Is this not a cyanogenmod 11 development issue? Happy for someone to shift it to Q&A if its not a development issue (I dont think I have that ability). Or are development threads only for posting finished products?

CONFIRMED: Problem is caused by equaliser quick settings tile
OK, so I can confirm that the problem is indeed the equaliser quicksettings tile/animation. So as described above there is a work around, and for anyone that needs to know the actual steps to disable the equaliser quicksettings tile please see below (it took me a while to work out as you cant just remove it with a drag/long press the way you can other tiles):
Go to settings>Notification Drawer>Quick Settings Panel>Dynamic Tiles
This is a list of the quicksettings tiles that pop up when triggered by a system event, disable the "Equalizer" (Sic) by unticking the checkbox and the bug goes away.
The equaliser continues to work, you just dont get the quicktile popping up and causing the bug.
Cyanogen Mod developers appear to have picked up the bug so maybe a fix coming to stable release soon?

The latest nightly release of CM11 now includes a fix for this bug. Official release channel still contains the bug, although it does not list it as a known issue for some reason. The next release M channel version should include the fix.

Calendar Not Working CM11
Next problem: trying to add anything to the calendar results in a user prompt that an account must be added first. I only have the cyanogenmod account linked to the phone, and that works fine for contacts. But in the calendar, if you select the cyanogenmod account, it tells you you can only have one account per phone. If instead you add an email address and set up say, work email, when you go back to the calendar it gives you the same prompt again. Does anyone know exactly what kind of account it requires to add, as nothing seems to work. Someone suggested to me to install the Google Calendar Sync component fro G-apps, however this would presumably share my calendar with google, which is precisely what I am trying to avoid by having cyanogenmod. Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Download and Install the Offline Calendar App:
https://f-droid.org/...e.localcalendar
After that create an offline calendar in the Offline Calendar App
Then you can use the standard calendar app with the created offline calendar database.
No more need to sync anything with google...

EMUI update notification sent me to potential malware site

Hello!
I'm afraid my phone might have malware. Hopefully it's a false alarm but I would appreciate any insight into the behavior:
Yesterday I saw a notification with the EMUI icon (stylized red "UI") but when bringing up the notification panel all I saw was a green "down" arrow and no text. I've had apps with bugs creating broken notifications before so I tapped it to check. It sent me to a webpage flagged as a source of malware "d1.3gmimo.com/handpet/wallpaper/...<can't remember rest>". I closed the page and since Chrome showed the warning before loading the page I think it's safe to assume I didn't download anything.
I don't know the origin of the notification though so I'm afraid there might be some malware already present. It had the EMUI icon but that can be faked or may be the default when no icon is configured (not sure how it works).. The notification appeared over mobile data so no router redirect infection. Searches gave me only one hit I could make sense of - a forum thread with the poster describing a similar event. They got not explanation but see here for their screenshots: Google Translate on thread-5858387-1-1.html on club.huawei.com (can't post links yet it seems)
I am very careful with the apps I install, avoid all the copycat crap, and I only allow Google Play as a source. The phone was only ever used by me except briefly by a family member which I trust not to download anything sketchy. Still, I uninstalled the most recent 2 apps: Hashi and Nonogram Katana (has ads) , though these had been installed a week before. The list of installed apps shows nothing new/strange. I also installed AVL, Bitdefender, and Avast but they found nothing. (I know it's debated whether av/anti-malware apps are helpful but thought to cover everything.)
Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance!
Phone details:
Huawei P7-L10
Android 4.4.2
EMUI 2.3 (V100R001C02B129)
Branded by Vodafone and with their uninstallable apps - using it on different network though.
I know I should update but the update app doesn't find anything (I understand this may be due to modifications made by telecom companies) and I got lazy since I've had no compatibility issues. I guess I should think more about security.

After doing more digging and learning to use adb to look at the logcat, I think the notification might have been created by VLife, which is Huawei's wallpaper distribution service.
On my phone I have VLife 2.23.3 installed (seems to be stock) as a system app. The title is in Chinese but the icon is the EMUI logo. (I figured out which app it is by the icon and version number, after I found the app hosted on aptoide.com while googling for "vlife".)
I presume what happened is that VLife tried to download a new wallpaper (no idea why all of a sudden) and it went to 3gmimo.com, which might serve as a mirror for apps. The site is flagged as having malware. This might be a false alarm or the site might have been hijacked since my version of VLife came out.
So the app might be ok. Though I'm still worried why the sudden update. Maybe there's a central message that was sent to the app to update? (The logcat below mentions a receiver.) The only suspicious thing about the app otherwise is that it has the permission to record sound along with changing sound settings. The latter isn't so surprising since it provides multimedia wallpapers. Maybe recording comes with the rest of the sound permissions. I've disabled the app and disabled its notifications for now. It can't be uninstalled since it's a system app.
These lines come up quite often in my logcat:
I/am_proc_start( 604): [0,18761,10089,com.vlife.huawei.wallpaper:main,broadcast,com.vlife.huawei.wallpaper/com.vlife.receiver.PetMainReceiver] - the link I got referred to a "handpet"
I/am_proc_start( 604): [0,18907,10089,com.vlife.huawei.wallpaper:main,broadcast,com.vlife.huawei.wallpaper/com.vlife.receiver.InstallEventReceiver]
Does anybody know more about this app or service?
Thanks!

Pie update Streaming Video problems. Help please.

I am really hating the Pie update. Has really made my phone less functional and convenient for my daily use.
Issue 1:
While playing YouTube or other videos off of websites from the Samsung internet browser, they keep randomly pausing after 5 or 10 seconds....
Any suggestions as to why or a fix? Beyond frustrating.
Issue 2:
Also, the defualt video player through the internet browser is severally lacking...
On Oreo with my S9+ and even on the Note 9 before the update it worked much better in many ways.
When I played a video from a website using the stock samsung internet browser it had these important funtions.
1. Had a fast foward and rewind button.
2. Had an option to minimize the video so you could multi task and adjust the video to any size or position on your screen so you could play any video while working on or using another app.
3. It had an option to allow you to stretch the video to the FULL size of the screen without any noticable distortion. That way you can use the full screen you paid big money for. Its ridiculous to think that my S9+ essentially allows me to watch videos on a larger screen vs the Note 9 because of this.
Is there a way to change the default video player that the Samsung web browser uses???? That way I can truly have full screen or be able to play the videos in the background while I use other apps.
Thanks.

Issue #1 what speeds/connection are you getting, such as data 2g/3g/lte, or wifi up/down speeds. try using speedtest.net to see if it's slow, maybe your connection is slow causing browser to keep buffering.
Issue #2 I believe if you are using the stock Samsung browser the video player is built in to browser, only fix would be to remove & or upgrade/downgrade browser to see if another version will give you this functionality back, try apkmirror for newer/older version.
If you had this functionality before with the exact/same version browser you could force stop and reset cache & data to return app to like first use and default settings. Otherwise the only thing I can suggest is to either use another browser such as chrome, or use separate video app & download the video first then watch in new separate video player app. This would probably be a hastle though.
Hope something I suggested my help or trigger an idea for you. More info would help like when you noticed it started (after upgrade) or when you change locations, or are you on WiFi or data or does it happen on both, the (constantly buffering/loading issue)? Also is it constantly this way all of the time on all websites & anything else that you may know that may have changed around that time. My browser supports everything that yours is missing, depending on the website tho. I'm on Snapdragon Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960W Canadian Variant Running First Pie v9.0 OTA Update.
One last thing, try turning on airplane mode, wait ten seconds, then turn it off & retry. This will cause phone to reconnect with WiFi & closest/fastest cell tower. You could also reset all connection settings. To do so just do this....
Tap on settings>tap on general management>tap on reset>finally tap on reset network settings. Good luck fixing friend.

Thanks for the reply.
All of this started happening with the Pie update.
This Note 9 worked just fine with the Oreo OS it came with out of the box.
It happens on 4gLTE and both Wifi with strong signal. Its litterally like the pause button is being pressed. I have to hit play to get it to play again. So I dont think its buffering.
So my phone is stock. Its leased so I dont have it rooted.
Can you walk me through getting the Oreo version on the Samsung Internet Browser???? Or how to reset the app to how it was out the box????
This sounds like the best solution. Thanks so much. This may be the most helpful. Having the older browser should fix a lot of these issues.

If you want to reset the app to all stock/factory settings you click on...
Go into Settings> tap on apps>scroll down and tap on Samsung internet>tap on storage>then you hit both "clear cache" and also "clear data" and once you have done this your browser when launched will be set back to all the stock/new settings as if it hasn't been used before. If this doesn't work you can get a newer or older version of "Samsung internet" and try that. Find it on the apkmirror website at...

Did not work. Still randomly pauses online vid through the browser. So no full screen mode. Still no minimize background mode. Still the same. Not working like it did out of the box when it was on Oreo.
Ok so I downloaded this APK file....looks to be the last version of the app for Oreo.

It downloaded but when i click Install after giving it permission to download from unknown sources it says
"App not installed" and doesn't give a reason....

Sorry for not responding quicker, but life has been busy lately. Now that I think about it the Samsung internet browser is part of the operating system and cannot be uninstalled. I would suggest clearing cache and then clearing data and upgrade with the apk at the link I provided you at the end of this post. I have a link I will provide at the end which is the latest version of the browser, if you have enabled allow downloads from alternate sources or whatever it asks, I don't see why it wouldn't install for you if the version you downloaded is newer than the one that is currently on your phone. The only other thing that I could think of would be sometimes on my phone I run into the exact same issue and even though I have enabled downloads through alternate sources sometimes I have to go into my file browser and install from there which almost always fixes the failed install issue. Anyway here is a link to the latest Samsung internet browser and if you read description it is meant for anything from lollipop up to Pie. It is the newest version I could find and I believe it was released on the 21st of this month. I got it from APK mirror which usually has the most up-to-date versions but if you are trying to install a version that is older then the one that is on your phone already the installation will fail every time. Hope you can get it working and message me if you have any progress or any questions.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...ernet-browser-9-0-01-80-android-apk-download/
This is v9.0.01.80, and should be one of the, if not the, most recent.

Have you troed wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode?

Question Fix for Notifications in Dark Mode?

I found the following info on some Chinese sites about how to fix notifications (also in dark mode?). The problem seems that Vivo.pem or vivo kills the google play services to save battery - thereby killing many notifications too.
Fix is a clutch but could work even with .pem not removed.
Open Vivo phone - dial *#*#426#*#*
Then lock the open FCM diagnostics play services app in the recent apps drawer by putting the lock symbol.
Needs to be done after every reboot and you must not manually remove the app by swiping it up. You can save quick dial codes in your contacts (as they will not be saved to the recent call list).
The problem is - play services cannot be added to autostart...
Seems to be working for a start for me - but not sure if it really does. Info from here: https://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=754&t=6723285
Edit: so far it seems to be working for me. I will not dare to try what happens if I enable power saving mode - because each time so far that meant I would need to reset all permissions for some apps like Signal even after disabling as they would then miss notifications. But dark mode seems to be usable.

Doesn't really work for dark mode. What the above does is, that it removes the need to remove vivo.pem - but if you activate dark mode then notifications will not arrive after a certain time of no use - like 10 minutes or so.
Dark mode therefore is still broken (tested mainly with gmail).

some of our guys on telegram emailed vivo and they said that an update is coming to fix dark mode

yeah, what vivo (support) tells and what actually happens has always been a big discrepancy... It's been several updates and dark mode still broken. With the above fix of locking the FCM window it just works a bit differently to no notification at all, but no notification at all if phone has been idle for some minutes.
It's a feature not a bug...
And yeah the alternative is to install another notification app altogether - but I am pretty sure that will decrease battery life as you then have an active pull instead of the standard android push for notifcations which uses very little battery. Or use dark mode and install "heartbeeat fixer for GCM" and set it to 1 minute to force the phone to never sleep.... Both not good solutions.

Actually the only updates available were on trial so let's see if they actually release something.

No all trials so far were released as official update 7 days later or so... Except todays newest trial update - all trials have made it to normal version. No beta update ever however AFAIK.
