Samsung and Mirrorink - Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi,
First of all, sorry for my English, it's not my main language.
After the latest update in Europe, mirrorlink has been uninstalled from my phone: the main reason I bought the expensive s10 was to use sygic navigation on my car (a toyota corolla with mirrorlink but without android auto), that I purchased for 50 euros.
To be honest, i feel cheated by Samsung.
Wondering if someone else is in the same or similar situation.

Maybe I'm saying something silly, but since they have removed the compatibility in the latest version of the firmware, maybe you can download a pre-upgrade custom ROM that keeps the possibility of using Mirrorlink.

[Q] Should I buy or wait for the next gen?

Hello everyone
1st sorry for my bad english.
I am in the market for a tracker device and im a big fan of Samsung so I was thinking of buying this smart watch/tracker.
Would you advise me to wait for the next gen ? I have fears its might be a bit bulky and probably samsung will be coming up with a new version very soon.
Also is it fully compatible with note 3 and S6 ?
Should I get this or the Jawbone up3 ?
Thanks
Hi! I'm using it with Note 3 (Android 5.0.x, stock rom), without any problems.
You should read some reviews about the fit, because it's not for everyone. I cannot compare it to other devices, bacause i only have experince with gear fit.

MirrorShare major bug, Android 7 and Samsung smart TV

Hello, when projecting anything from my phone to Samsung Smart TV, only the upper half of the screen is rendered correctly. The lower half is scrambled/green , pixelated and full of artifacts, no matter the phone is in portrait or landscape.
My Smart TV is flawless with Mate 7, Samsung Tab S 10.5 or Asus Zenfone 6 when using Mirror Share.
Previously on Marshmallow 6.0 MirrorShare worked without problems with my Huawei P9plus .
On my friend's Huawei P9plus, identical with mine and with similar Samsung smart TV, the problem is absolutely the same.
Huawei, please fix this major problem as soon as possible.
My phone : VIE-L09C432B360, unrooted.
Have you found a solution to this? Mine does the same and I can't find a similar topic anywhere else. It's very annoying as worked perfectly before
I hope Huawei read this forum and make things working properly. Don't try to mess your phone/root/reset , at least I don't. If Huawei want to be number three, two or the best brand in smartphone industry they must read and solve customers complaints. Sadly, every brand have some (major) flaws, for me Huawei is the best compromise. Until...
PS: I had a problem with mirror sharing (Huawei Mate 7, veeery slow speed, almost unusable ) in the past but it was resolved after the last update and now it works okay .
Huawei, please do your homework properly to be number one !
Easy come, easy go and upset clients sometimes don't come back.
Mine is VIE-L29C636B370 currently.
Tried on my Samsung (Smart)TV for MirrorShare feature and does not seem to have issues.
There's around half second to one second delay in pushing the display to the TV though. "Seemingly" slower than before update (because I never really measured the time previously).
Then is a bug for single sim international version VIE-L09C432B360. Before Nougat, on Marshmallow my P9plus mirror share function was without issues(I used it frequently) . Now I have to use my Samsung Tab S 10.5 tablet for mirror sharing so please Huawei do your homework and respect your clients, I paid 700 Euros last year in July for your product.
After last update to android 7 my mirrorShare feature is casting the screen to a samsung tv with half of the screen is totally green . Before the update everything was working fine.
I search the case and found many people asking the same question with no answers yet. Any Help ?
Sadly after yesterday's update to B370 (from B360) mirror share is the same, flawed with half screen bug.
Huawei, please fix this major problem, please !

Any resolution guyz ?
Huawei don't care about us. Probably this is my last new, full price Huawei "flagship" smartphone.
Same problem on an Honor 8 with Android 7
+1 P9 B386
I wonder if this problem exist on P10/plus, Mate 9 or other newer Huawei phones.
Updated to B376 today (OTA) but the bug still here.
Probably my next phone will be another brand, Sony Xperia or...
I've got a P9 and a Mediapad M3 and only shows to top of the screen as well while connecting to Samsung tv. A Galaxy Tab3 doesn't have this problem.
Same problem with my huawei P9, running B391 firmware!

The same problem...I thought it was just a samsung bug..:crying:
+1 same problem Huawei P9 Plus, latest Nov 2017 update VIE-L09C432B378 talking to a 2013 Samsung Fully Patched HD SmartTV. Annoying.
same prob in vie-l29c185b390 march
well done huawei ...................................................
I thought I was the only one with this kind of issue. It's really annoying because I always use mirrorsharing! I went back to were I bought it since I thought that the problem was the unit. They changed it with a brand new phone but the mirroshare still won't work!

Astell&Kern Kann Alpha GMS & Android update

Hello, I have Astell&Kern Kann Alpha DAC and I have a question about gms. Is possible to Make a ROM from the source code (link is below) with GMS included or made an upgraded version of Android? The actual source code is Android 9, and I'd like to have Android 10/11. It is a good DAC but without GMS only with Open-Service provider, there is a big limitation of using 3rd party apps. I haven't any experiences with Android modifications, so I wanted to ask. Thank you.

I know it´s been nearly a year and a half . But I´m stil curious to know if you ever got any further in your search for custom firmware for the discontinued A&K devices
Kind regards

Unfortunately, no. I didn't found any custom ROM for A&K devices.
@DasXardas
That´s a bummer. I wish I could help you further, but i´m also just a frustrated user stucked using the AK connect app for android and streaming Tidal over DLNA . I assume you are stucked with this solution also ?
I own the ak70 . Really premium device , and it´s typical to see, that this market , like the electronics market in general, is all about selling new devices , rather than maintaining the older models.
But on the positive side, it´s a big plus that the AK connect app is holding the older devices from being a paperweight ;-)

Sharp SH-01j

Hello,
I wanted to buy Japanese flip phone Sharp SH-01J, but I've read on auctions that it's Android 5.1.1 and no longer updatable (probably because of Docomo network, which stopped supporting it).
Anyway, I can't find any official or custom ROM for this phone. Maybe it's behind Japanese language barrier on the internet.
Could someone advice with this phone? I need atleast android 6+. I'm not sure if just AOSP or something like LineageOS will be functional without many adjustments in code.

Questions about the Lenovo Legion Y70

I have been thinking about buying a Lenovo Legion y70, and the truth is that I have several questions.
The first is that if the cell phone allows the transmission of screen and sound in the discord?
Also, what is more recommended? Buy a version with the global rom installed on aliexpress, or buy it new and sealed and install it myself?
And also how is the experience with this cell phone? Is it recommended or are there better options?

1. Yeah why wouldn't it? You can do this on any android phone.
2. There is no global rom version. Some sellers off to install google play for you since it doesn't come with it. Either option is fine, but if you don't know how to do it and are going to have trouble figuring it out, having the seller do it will be more convenient, but otherwise it's not too hard to do. Keep in mind you are still using the CN rom, which while it does have English, and other languages, will still have the typical chinese rom bloat.
3. Mine hasn't arrived yet so I cant speak from experience, but if your budget isn't more than 300ish USD, you won't find anything with better hardware. However, this doesn't make it the best option, unless you don't mind being stuck on the chinese rom with no future updates. I think its worth spending the extra for a phone with a good global rom, especially if your carrier is supported (a lot of the alternative options didn't support my carrier), but I personally couldn't afford it which is why I've purchased one of these. If your carrier supports it, I think the Realme GT Neo 5 SE, and Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Turbo are better options. They cost around 330-340 USD, have similar performance, better body weight/size, and much better software. Only thing they're really missing is dc dimming, and good frequency bands/carrier support.
I have a discord server for Legion Y70 information, and discussion here https://discord.gg/r5VMszTGVr, look in the #interested-buyers channel for more info.
