Bug/Problem with Yoga Tab 3 Plus YT-X703F

Hello,
I think I found a bug in the Kids Mode implementation on the Yoga Tab 3 Plus YT-X703F. I found it very useful to control access to the apps and also set time limits etc. However, my nephew has managed to bypass the restrictions by simply clicking on in-app adds which automatically launched the Play Store and he basically went to town installing all the games he wanted and launching apps "hidden" in Kids Mode.
How does one report these things to Lenovo? Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
I'm using the latest Lenovo release for 6.0.1 for the YT 3

[Tutorial] How to install and use Google ARCore on Xperia X

Update: with the release of version 1.5, calibration profiles for Xperia X are shipped within the app, so the only thing you need to do is download and install the most recent ARCore APK. Trying to download ARCore-enabled apps directly from the Play Store isn't possible yet (they still shows "your device is not compatible with this version") but since Google is already shipping profiles for Xperia X on current ARCore version, official support might appear at any moment! In the mean time you can still install ARCore-enabled apps through other sources like APK Mirror, they'll work just fine.
The original thread is archived below, for reference.
This guide will show you how to get ARCore installed and working on Xperia X despite this phone not being officially supported at the moment.
Requirements
• Xperia X or Xperia X dual SIM running at least Android 7.0 (tested only on stock firmware but should work with custom ROMs too).
• If your phone isn't rooted, you'll need access to a computer with ADB and the required drivers installed and working (I won't cover that part on this guide).
Instructions
• Go to APK Mirror then download and install the most recent ARCore APK available for the arm64-v8a architecture (it must be at least version 1.4, older versions won't work!).
• Now download and install any ARCore-enabled app (e.g. Measure, Just a Line, etc -- you must install at least one app before proceeding).
• Open any of the ARCore-enabled apps you've installed at least once. What will happen vary from app to app but you eventually get stuck in an error screen saying your device isn't compatible. Once you get there, close the app.
From there, you have two different routes to continue (don't do both, pick one or another):
If you have root access
• Use a root-enabled file explorer app of your preference and navigate to /data/data/com.google.ar.core/files/device_profile2_database.
• Locate the files device_profile_F8131_colon_7.textproto and device_profile_F8131_colon_8.textproto and rename them replacing the part highlighted in blue to F5121 (if your Xperia X is the dual SIM variant, rename the blue part to F5122 instead).
If you don't have root access
• Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on the Developer Settings of your phone.
• Connect your Xperia X to the computer, download the file attached on this thread, then open Command Prompt / Terminal and run the command adb restore ARCore_F51xx.ab
• If asked, allow debugging access on your phone, then a Backup/Restore prompt will appear. Confirm the restore operation on your phone.
And that's it, you finished. Open any ARCore-enabled app now and they'll just work without complaining your device isn't supported.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: It seems too easy. How/why it works?
A: With the release of ARCore 1.4, Google added official support for some 2016 Xperia devices such as Xperia X Performance and Xperia X Compact, but for unknown reasons, Xperia X was left out of the party. What we're doing here is simply tricking ARCore that the calibration profile made for Xperia X Performance is actually for the Xperia X instead.
Q: Why are you instructing people to use the calibration profile for Xperia X Performance instead of the profile for Xperia X Compact?
A: Because the Xperia X Performance is much more closer to the Xperia X than the Xperia X Compact if you consider the layout and the placement of the internal components. Remember that the X Performance is essentially an Xperia X with IP65/68 rating and Snapdragon 820 SoC instead of Snapdragon 650 (even some parts of both models are interchangeable!). That's important because it seems even the physical location of the accelerometer/gyroscope sensor inside the phone's body affect the accuracy of ARCore measurements, as I got worse results when using the calibration profile from Xperia X Compact. That's why I sticked to the profile made for Xperia X Performance.
Q: I can't find ARCore-enabled apps on the Play Store when searching from my phone / Play Store won't let me install ARCore-enabled apps because it thinks my device isn't compatible. Why?
A: The device checks on the Play Store are done on server-side, although this guide enable ARCore to run on Xperia X, it's still not supported officially. There's no way to bypass this check, so you need to download whatever ARCore-enabled app you want from other sources like APK Mirror, F-Droid, etc...
Good working .Thanks
Another phone
Hello,
Do you think something like this could work on a Chinese vivo next dual?
This phone is supported but only on devices that came with Google services preinstalled, unfortunately my phone didn't and I am getting the non supported device on Google play store even though the phone is supported
Thanks in advance!
Any news on an official release of this?
Both my kid's are wanting it now for FNAF AR and Minecraft Earth
Cheers
Current Google Play Services for AR (formely known as ARCore) still ships with calibration profiles for Xperia X, so, even though it isn't certified, you can still use ARCore-enabled apps as long as you sideload the APK. Regarding the phone being officially supported, forget it. Xperia X is already EOL since late 2018 and it's very very unlikely it'll get official support at this point.
Does it work for Android 8 oreo Xperia X F5122?

Honor Band 5 alternative Health Health app for other phones

I have been using this cool gadget for several days. I wanted to check how I was sleeping, my heart rate and oxygen saturation. The latter option is usually not available on similar class devices.
To be able to use the band on phones from other manufacturers, you should install THREE gigantic and probably too many applications that want to know about us:
- App store, such a Huawei store (but you can skip this app)
- Huawei Mobile Services (so-called HMS Core) currently version 4.0.3.316, 130 MB!
www.******************/download-the-latest-hms-core-apk
https://appstore.huawei.com/app/C10132067
from this last address you cannot download / install even after logging in! It is possible to download via Ass store, thus it is another coercion
- Huawei Health, currently version 10.0.5.521, 95 MB!
https://appgallery7.huawei.com/#/app/C10414141
Also, you can't download without a store!
and above all set up an account on Huawei servers.
The above files can be downloaded from Chinese Huawei websites, but oddly enough they are in slightly older versions ...
I've done all the steps, but I prefer light, open and privacy-friendly software from the F-doid store.
I would like to ask if anyone of you successfully combined this band with a smart phone other than Huawei and using a different type of health application? I tried to detect it in Redmi 4x through much lighter and "theoretical" apps specific to my device:
mi.health_1.2.5-10205.com (no installation possible, crashes)
mi.health_2.1.1-20101.com (no installation possible, spills out)
xiaomi.hm.health_4.0.17-50274.com (installed, appears in the store as Mi Fit)
but unfortunately failed to connect.

Mi Band 6 (BHR 4951GL) Global version

Are they any information about it around here?
in Germany we are able to order the global version on AMAZON market. But how is it in other country's?
My Band 6 was delivered with FW v.1.0.0.34
you can use MiFit app from XIAOMI or Notify app from OneZeroBit.
MiBandages app doesn't support #6. Zapp app doesn't work.
New features are: ....more supported kinds of sport and a SpO2 sensor.
You can use the same bracelet like for Mi Band 5!

The Mi Band 6 is Xiaomi's new affordable fitness tracker with a bigger screen
Xiaomi's affordable fitness tracker line returns in 2021 with a new model: the Mi Band 6. Here's everything you need to know about it!
www.xda-developers.com
Yesterday i have tried to update my fitness tracker with notify&fitness app. (to version 1.0.4.02beta). Successful! But i have not recognized any differences. So i am returned to original v. 1.0.0.34. Unfortunately there are many beta versions available without any history. I think, i will stay on official fw now as long as i can't find reasons to change to any unknown beta files.
Same try with v 1.0.0.36 - same result!
Btw.: with this version, i got no sleep quality results.
The collaboration of the N&F app via mi fit is always a bit difficult. Sometimes i can't get all the values and have to sync again.
Interesting to see that nobody else seems do have results of own experiences.
what's about battery time? Similar to nr.5 or less? Less! ~30% less.
What's about other bracelet's?
I'm using this type:
https://www.amazon.com/-/us/dp/B08D8S2CGW/ref=mp_s_a_1_66?dchild=1&keywords=mi+band+5+bracelet&qid=1621365446&sprefix=mi+band+5+bra&sr=8-66
A new firmware 101.32 is available for our tracker. Resources and fonts are updated too. At the moment, you have to use notify&fitness update process to get it.
If you use miFit or wear app, it could need more time to get it.
