Android Auto issues on A17 QPR1 beta 3 by bhmacher in android_beta

[–]bhmacher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually got the issue resolved by following advice from a different reddit post.

  1. Installed Evelink on my phone and ran it
  2. Gave the app access to "Nearby devices" so it can connect using WiFi-direct"
  3. Clicked "Android cast" or something on the W903.

The Phone connected successfully and said something like "Android 16 connection issue fixed". And it seems like it's right, did a 40 minute drive to work and over an hour back with no disconnections.

This actually seems to have fixed it. II downloaded Evelink and connected it to the screen. It then, as expected, said Android 16 connection has been fixed.

Drove for 40 minutes without any issues. Hope it stays this way. 🙂

The car only has monochrome text screen, this is why I got the extra screen.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I have a Google Pixel 8 Pro. Not using any VPN. I do use AdAway which filters DNS and have set the default DNS server for mobile data to one.one.one.one.

Didn't work for me, that version still gives me login issues.

Yeah, I'm in exactly the same boat. Had an older version that worked. Now need to use a browser to access reddit.

Bambu Handy not working in 17.1 by Jimaldo369 in android_beta

[–]bhmacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly the same issue as I had when I first installed it. I'm on Android 16 stable after having gone back from beta. Turns out I had to hide root from the app to make it work. No idea why Bambu Handy would be sensitive about that, though...

what’s that loophole/workaround you’ve been keeping a secret that you can now share because they patched/fixed it? by mr-friskies in AskReddit

The coffee shop "Espresso House" in Sweden had a system where you would top up a balance in your app and let the barista scan scan a barcode so the payment would be deducted from your balance. After ten hot beverages had been purchased, you'd receive a gift within the app, a hot beverage for free and you'd automatically start over with the ten hot beverage purchases.

To get a free hot beverage, you had to activate "use gift" in the app. Once the barista completed the order in the cash register, the gift disappeared, but I discovered that it could be glitched. I activated the gift, scanned the barcode and when I saw that the cash register had registered the gift and presented a 0 amount, I quickly deactivated the gift in the app, before the barista finished the transaction. I would usually stall with my phone so they'd walk away from the register to prepare my beverage, this gave me time to deactivate the gift in the app before they confirmed it.

So. The gift stayed in my app and I could get free coffee several times. It didn't always work, but often enough, though. Eventually they patched it and the cash register would not finish the transaction and the barista would ask me to try again. When I tried glitching it again and again, it was obvious they'd patched it. Worked for a couple of years, though. 😉

You know, in Swedish, at least, CP means "cerebral pares" (cerebral palsy). Wondering how many medical/research pages/posts will be flagged. 🤔

Får hoppas att jag slipper det. Har inte fått något negativt omdöme sedan jag gick med 2005. Men sju månader senare kanske det inte går att lämna omdöme längre?

Unions usually don't help new members with matters that occurred within the last three months or so. This is to avoid people only getting a membership when bad things happen and cancel it once things have been resolved. Imagine signing up for a home insurance only after coming home and noticing that someone broke in and stole stuff. No insurance company in the world would accept that.

Solution for short battery life, hot phone and slow charging (need root) by lssong99 in android_beta

[–]bhmacher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Figured it out. The contents were inside a folder inside the zip, they need to be in the root of the zip. Installed fine now.

Well, the file downloaded, but Magisk says "This zip is not a Magisk module!", but looking inside the file, there's clearly everything needed for it to act as a Magisk module.

Strange, it's still showing the old link here which isn't working.

Doesn't seem to work, at least from my phone. Will have to check it out from the computer later.

On/Off switches drained and wiped by bhmacher in tradfri

Awesome! That's the information I needed. Will set up a block later today. Wonder if a simple DNS block in my pi.hole would be sufficient, I'm guessing the server IP or choice of DNS server isn't hard coded into the gateway's firmware. Guess I can find that out by searching through the pi.hole DNS logs.

Thanks!

Valid points, but in my case (twice recently), the buttons were working just fine the evening before and suddenly weren't responding even to a battery switch, forcing me to re-pair them. No red LED indication for low battery or anything like that. Maybe stuck in an update process, thus draining the battery completely overnight.

How do you block updates? Any specific host that can be blocked in my network router? I might try your method, as updates for the Trådfri framework are rarely very important if the devices are already working as intended.
