Help Sonim XP8800 Bluetooth pairs to radio but no audio?

Swamp_Yankee said:
Thanks for the information-I was not aware of what version of Bluetooth the Sonim had until now. I went back and decided to play with the settings some more and found this screen (screenshot attached)-both the media box and the HD audio box were checked. I unchecked and rechecked media which did nothing, but when I unchecked HD audio I got audio over my truck stereo. I am guessing that the HD audio is a feature of 5.0 that is not backward compatible to/supported by 3.0:

Yes, that's correct. Although I thought Bluetooth was supposed handshake and deal with different version compatibility itself, like NOT trying to send HD audio to a device that can't decode and play it. The Media Audio is most likely SBC(Sub Band Codec) that all BT audio devices support, the A2DP profile, but doesn't necessarily give the best SQ because it's a lossy codec. Some BT devices support AAC, that is apparently better SQ, but is still a lossy codec.

Gradle testOptions not working

My build.grandle:
Code: 
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 29
    buildToolsVersion "29.0.1"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.app5"
        testApplicationId "com.example.app5.test"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 29
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner"
        testHandleProfiling true
        testFunctionalTest true
    }
    testBuildType "debug"
    testOptions {
        reportDir "$rootDir/test-reports"
        resultsDir "$rootDir/test-results"
        unitTests {
            returnDefaultValues true
            all {
                jvmArgs '-XX:MaxPermSize=256m'
                if(it.name == 'testDebugUnitTest')
                    systemProperty 'debug', 'true'
            }
        }
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.2'
    implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:runner:1.2.0'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.2.0'
}
I specified reportDir. but when I run the unit test, I don’t see anything in the project folder in the test-results folder, that is, this option does not work, it seems to have to save the results to that folder automatically, and it seems the whole testOptions block does not work. What could be the problem ?

I wrote that the error is not in grandle! And I already saw these links and in them useless information that did not help me.
You can take it and not be lazy and reproduce my steps, and then try to fix it and you will see that the problem is completely different. Either someone will already help me, or android studio is a garbage pit that you should not study

Looking for the Mate 20 Pro forum

mikedt
Is it a China "00" variant, that doesn't have any Google on it at all? You might be able to install the Google Play from the Huawei AppGallery that's on your phone already.

Screenshot_20190815_134132_com.huawei.appmarket.jpg

"87 million installs" ... really? That many users have installed Google Play on Googleless Huaweis?

I'm sure this is a hacked version of Play that Huawei puts in their app store. But I've been using it no problem for nearly two years on a China variant Mate 10. It didn't need the phone to be rooted.

Oppo and Vivo have the same thing for their China variant phones.

Beelink GT King Review: the New King of TV-Boxes

Jupit3r
Performance

83e7d39bgy1g4tp5k4ia5j20m80ehq9r.jpg


The Beelink GT-King is powered by the new Amlogic S922X chipset, which contains 4 cores of Cortex A73 clocked at 1.8GHz , 2 cores of Cortex-A53 clocked at 1.9GHz, and a beefy Mali-G52MP6 GPU clocked at 846MHz. There's also 4GB LPDDR4 RAM under the hood to handle multi-tasking.

83e7d39bgy1g4tmflwxbtj20m80ci3z3.jpg

83e7d39bgy1g4tygtx0hkj20m80etmyf.jpg


In Antutu V7 benchmark test, the GT-King scored an impressive 125,479, putting it in way ahead of almost all the other TV boxes we have tested. It didn't fall far behind the mighty Nvidia Shield TV.

83e7d39bgy1g4tygujvu6j20m80ettad.jpg


In Geekbench 4 CPU test, the GT-King notched 1,447 in single-core, and 4,065 in multi-core.

83e7d39bgy1g4tmg3aem5j20m80ciagf.jpg

83e7d39bgy1g4tygvjjyhj20m80etwfu.jpg


In the PCMark 8 Work 2.0 test, the GT-King snatched 5,334, which is on par with the scores of many mid-range smartphones, easily blowing most of the other TV boxes out of the water.

83e7d39bgy1g4tmg4br6aj20m80cigoc.jpg

83e7d39bgy1g4tz71wrzlj20m80etjsj.jpg


In the more graphics-focused 3DMark test, the GT-King scored in 1,576 Slingshot, second only to the Nvidia Shield TV.

83e7d39bgy1g4tmg4ts36j20m80ciq5s.jpg

83e7d39bgy1g4tygtcnzij20m80etmyl.jpg


The Ice Storm Unlimited returned the King with a score of 22511.

The GT-King may still not be able to compete with flagship Android smartphones and tablets in terms of processing power, but it has very few competitions in the world of Android TV boxes. Probably the only thing that offers more horsepower than the GT-King is the Nvidia Shield TV, but that is more marketed as a gaming console rather than a TV box.

83e7d39bgy1g4tmib00v1j20m80edndk.jpg


As for the real-world performance, the GT-King is more than capable of handling normal day-to-day TV box tasks. Even when the HDMI output was set at 4K, we still experienced almost no hiccups, lags or delays.

I played many video clips of different formats in Kodi, MX Player and Beelink's very own Movie Player, the King never struggled with anything we threw at it. Only with one video did I notice some synchronization problems between the visuals and sound.

83e7d39bgy1g4tmgi2vr7j20m80ci4ou.jpg


Streaming 1080P in the YouTube app and 2K videos in the YouTube TV app was extremely smooth, but when playing the 4K Costa Rica Video in YouTube TV, there were some stutters in the beginning. We also streamed many 4K online videos in Chrome as well, and experienced almost no lags at all. Unfortunately, although the GT-King supports Widevine L1, you still won't be able to stream HD videos on Netflix and Amazon Videos. Many reviewers report that the maximum resolution for Netflix videos on the King is only 540P, since Netflix is not available in the country that I am living in, this is not a problem for me personally, but I know it can be a deal breaker for those devoted Netflix fans.

83e7d39bgy1g4tmglexrbj20m80ciau9.jpg


However, the GT-King is by no means just a streaming box. It has more than enough power for most of the graphic-intense games you can find in Google Play Store. I tested Asphalt Extreme, Real Racing 3, Snowboard Party and World of Tennis, all of them ran smoothly at maximum settings. A joystick is highly recommended if you want to fully enjoy gaming on the GT-King,

83e7d39bgy1g4tmgel580j20m80cin5k.jpg


Browsing on the GT-King is also a joyful experience, image-heavy webpages load extremely fast in Chrome, and you won?t experience any lags switching from one page to another.

83e7d39bgy1g4tmid01g0j20m80ento1.jpg


The device is obviously designed for entertainment, as all TV boxes are, but it's not impossible to use it for some lightweight productivity tasks and social networking. With a mouse, a keyboard and the right apps, it is easy to write Emails and even edit some documents on the King.


Connectivity

83e7d39bgy1g4u1epeg8gj20m80f9tj0.jpg


The GT-King offers a slew of connectivity options. It supports 2.4GHz/5GHz dual band Wi-Fi. Although without an exposed antenna, the GT-King still has solid reception, it could pick up more Wi-Fi hotspots than the ABOX A1 and Remix IO when the three boxes were placed right at the same spot. The Gigabit Ethernet jack can also come in handy when you want more stable connection via a network cable. There's also Bluetooth 4.1 on board to take care of local data transfer and connecting with audio and input devices. I connected the GT-King with the Vifa Helsinki speaker and they worked fine together. If Bluetooth audio transfer doesn't offer satisfying sound, the SPDIF port and 3.5mm RJ45 both support direct wired connection with most soundbars and speakers.

The HDMI 2.1 port on the GT-King can output videos up to 4K@75fps, and should support most TV sets, monitors and projectors. The 3 USB ports support external USB storages of up to 4TB. The Micro SD card slot had no problem reading my 128GB Samsung card.


Verdict

I liked my experience with the GT-King very much. For only $106, the TV box has a lot going for it. It is beautifully designed, very well built, and offers amazing streaming performance. Also, the gaming experience is pretty decent, as nothing in Google Play is really too demanding for the GT-King. There are some minor compromises, as you won't get Netflix and Amazon Videos in HD, but besides that, you won't find much to complain about it.

The Nvidia Shield TV is still a more capable device overall, but it does require you to reach deeper into your pocket. For those who wants more performance and functionalities than what an average TV box could offer but have issues with the price tag on the Shield TV, the GT-King is a decent alternative.

Help Internal Storage Data Migration Question

svim
When you reformat a microSD card as internal, its file system gets reformatted from FAT (FAT32 or exFAT) to ext4 and it gets encrypted. These are significant changes as ext4 is the same file system as your device's internal storage and the encryption key links the card only to that particular device. Once internal, your device's Android operating system merges the card's storage with the internal storage, and it's just the OS that manages it. When you're manually transferring files between the two, you're still using that microSD card as when it was formatted as portable. Either let the OS work the way it needs to (leave the card as internal and don't bother messing with it) or go back to using your card as a secondary storage media (format it back to portable, which will return it back to its previous un-encrypted state using a FAT file system).
