Greetings, this is my first time posting here and I've tried different websites but to no avail.

My DS4 controller connects via bt to my phone and after 30s it just disconnects for no apparent reason.

Tested it on my older phone, works perfectly. Tested it on iPad, works perfectly. Both times about 30mins, two different games.

Also, it works on my PC as well.

This makes me think that the issue is with Galaxy A33, something is disconnecting my controller.

Even after doing a full factory reset nothing changed.

What can I do to try to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

How do you know they are in your neighborhood if you don't know who it is?

How do you know they are nearby?

Whoever it is had to have sent you a photo/video message or an email with an attachment or something else like that with malicious code embedded in the image/video/email attachment, something you would have had to open/load/activate. Once you opened it, you allowed the malicious code to embed itself. Has anyone sent you anything suspicious or have opened anything from someone that you barely know or don't know at all?

It would require having something to work with to figure out what they did to invade your device. If you can find the malicious code that has embedded itself in your device, then someone here might be able to help you figure out where you got it from(a photo/video message or email, etc..), then you would know who the source is and thrn locate them.

Well yes. Technically speaking you can run any firmware on it. Now the phone has 192 mb of ram. So I wouldnt go over android 4, if you want to have a usable experience.

I'm stumped. I know they are in the area because they torment me everyday with it, it's been going on for awhile. I can physically hear them, I live in a rural country area and I have my suspicions but pin pointing it is something I haven't been able to do.

When I do a factory reset on my phone, it seems that theirs does the same. If I'm in developer mode, it seems they can do more harm. I don't understand how it can be possible that they can do it, but I do know the person brags about saying they are the best there is at it?? It's almost like stalking yet I can do nothing without physically having proof.

As far as downloading something malicious... I'm always trying different things and apps with developer mode so that broadens the scope even more. It seems when I change my password on my Google account, they know what it is as soon as I do it. I've thought, keyloggers, Linux Kali, ...

I've even changed from a Verizon account, to t-mobile, finally to a mint pree paid card..

With my Google account, I have several, but on my Google time line in maps, it's shows locations and addresses that I do not go to. At the same time on separate account, same day, same time, consistently it shows the locations I really have been to. Both are in the same broad area, up to 20 mile radius from 1/4 mile radius.

Hell, it is. Just to find out who is doing this, whom says he is , "the best that there is", would put me in a position let the other shoe fall.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you have location data showing where they have been, you should be able to find their present location at any given time. If you can find their location in real time, you can go to their general area and have someone call you or text you, their phone should ring at the same time yours does, if you are close enough, you will hear their phone and be able to identify them. It is low-tech way, but it can work if you know their location and can get close enough to where they are.

I wasn't talking about something you consciously downloaded or willingly installed yourself, I mean something less direct than that. Something like viewing a photo that someone sent in a message, something sent to you by someone else that you had to click on to open/view/interact with.

The way things work with android is similar to how things work with Linux. The Linux kernel will not allow viruses or invading code to load unless the user has specifically allowed it, whether they knowingly allow it or not. When you click on something sent to you by someone else, if there is malicious code embedded in whatever they sent you, you unknowingly grant it whatever permissions it requests or needs when you click on it.

i already tried tp update it but their ****ty update app doesnt work and kinda seem skecthy?

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
What specific custom ROM do you currently have installed and what specific custom ROM are you wanting to update to? Depending on what you already have compared to what you want to install, you might not need to backup any data or wipe the device when you flash the ROM, you would just need to flash the ROM and Gapps for the ROM's android version without needing to factory reset or wipe the device after flashing. Commonly called a "dirty flash".

As for backing up your various data, there are adb commands for backing up whatever parts of data you want.

You can use "adb backup" commands to backup your user data such as user apps, app data, app settings, photos, videos, music, downloaded files and etc.. A simple Google for:

"ADB backup"

Should find a guide for you detailing exactly which commands to use to backup and restore your data via ADB backup/restore.

To backup/restore contacts, you can use "adb pull" and "adb push" commands. Do a Google search for:

"Backup contacts via ADB"

That should find a lot of links to pages explaing how to backup and restore contacts via adb.

Or, read through this to find a solution that works for you.

What free non-root Android backup & restore solution do you recommend for general use?

Thank you for your quik reply

I have a official havoc os android 11 and want to move to unofficial linage os android 12.

I dont want to dirty flash regardless if it was the same rom type because they always advice against it so why take the risk you know?

I currently don't have adb fastboot installed on my computer my computer scted weird and then i wiped it all and had some trouble setting it up the first 2 times i did this (one of the reasons i did multiple diffrent brand phones so had trouble with drivers....)

and now i want to switch to linux but first wanted to do my phone first.

that link you posted what kind of place was that lookd like gmail but diffrent?

On a kind of similar note to that previous question, I've been trying to do a backup w/ titanium backup today. For some reason when I try to do any action, it successfully executes the action and then crashes (which obviously makes batch actions impossible). Anyone have an idea of what might be going on? I know titanium backup works on my device since I've used it before and done several large batch backups a couple months back (and have generally used titanium on the device for probably 2 years now). I haven't updated the rom, kernel, or magisk since then so I'm at a loss for what could be causing the crashing. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app and clearing cache/davik cache partitions.

[General Questions and Answers] Henki98:
Hope it's not a stupid question. But I would like to understand why adopting a processor made by TSMC should lead to less thermal throttling respect a processor manufactured by Samsung. I would like to delve into the question and really understand what the problem is. Because as a noob I think that Samsung simply uses a very poor quality silicon. But it can't just be that, and as an noob I think it's the very structure of different processor. But as a stupid it seems impossible to me because an engineer at Samsung and an engineer at TSMC should have the same design skills, so realistically those who create processors or any other component for smartphones or PCs must use the same machines if not industries to produce the components. And among other things, I think that the structure of the processor cannot vary enormously, also because the design of the processor is studied by Qualcomm and the snap 8gen1 cannot differ enormously in structure by snap 8gen1 plus. Because it's just a plus ".

I hope I haven't asked too stupid a question but I would really like to understand why Qualcomm's latest processors suffer from thermal throttling. And it seems absurd to me that they simply pass by Samsung at TSMC solves this question.So I would like a satisfactory answer and I don't care if you get into complicated speeches that I wouldn't understand. Because I want to understand them thanks.

All of this angers me, because I wish the problem was simply software optimization.Because at least that can be bridged by smart amateur developers. But if the problem is technical and structural and Switching from Samsung to TSMC will upset things, honestly I it would make a lot of anger. Why is it wrong to play with customers' money.

It seems you have jinxed me tried to download it today and when i open it keeps crashing ... looking at what we have in common it has to be magisk i think whas causing this?

edit: i just uninstalled magisk and reinstalled it didnt work titanium back up wont start up?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It is a matter of differences in architecture and optimization along with differences in material and manufacturing process. Also, it may not even be a matter of hardware that is the cause of throttling, it could be built-in code throttling the CPU to keep temps down and increase the longevity of the device. It could also be a matter of built-in code being used for controlled, planned obscelecense over time to encourage the user to buy a new device.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
I think a big issue in the design of these small devices is dissipating the heat that is generated ins such a compact unit. If like a computer, fins and fans were able to be placed in/on the device, then thermal throttling would not be an issue. There have been many break-out ideas by one manufacturer or another that have managed to solve this issue. Some better than others.

On my desktop PC I have an overclocked CPU, and as such have a top of the line (near silent) cooling fan to compensate.

A few years back I had a phone that would get very hot during certain long processes, so I would place the phone on a stone surface or glass FACE DOWN, that made a huge difference, because the heat could be dissipated through the screen and soaked into the table. A shiny smooth surface is a poor dissipator of heat to the air, so its trapped and builds. In short, all devices generate heat, some devices dissipate it better.

My S10+ broke recently. It was a German phone with DBT firmware.

I was able to get a replacement, but the new one is a phone originally from Austria. I tried to reflash and reset it completely by downloading the newest DBT firmware and flashing it with ODIN. I used the CSC file (not HOME_CSC) for complete reset, but it still starts with the setup for Austria.

Is there anything I can do to have it behave like a genuine German-bought phone? Usually, it wouldn't matter much, but Samsung Pay isn't installable on the new phone because it is not from Germany.

Hi!

On my local market I see many used phones that were locked by carrier, because someone didn't paid all installments. They are cheap (like even 300$ for galaxy s21 ultra), so it'd be interesting to buy one and break this lock, but I don't know where to start and if it is even possible. I'm familiar with flashing and all of that, but with this meesage on-screen I propably can't do anything. I attached an example.

Hey guys

After downloading titanium back up whenever i try to open it it just crashes each time? i tried uninstalling magisk and reinstalling but this did not work ?

currently running magisk v23 and android 11 havoc.

any idea what could cause something like this ?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Try first uninstalling it, wiping all caches and dalvik, through recovery, then erase all the TB related files/folders from your internal and external directory.
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Don't buy something like this, because for sure you won't be able to unlock it. You need a working and resposive phone in order to unlock it and flash stuff. So unless you have an official Samsung terminal and account, don't buy those devices.
[General Questions and Answers] mstrnemo:
Just to be sure and confirm i go to twrp-wipe - select cache and dalvik and wipe correct?

I did that and then re downloaded titanium back up and it did not work ?

i am running android 11 official havoc os, microg and magisk v23

one more thing couple of days ago i downloaded the official twrp app through the store and it acted very weird would crash and whatnot and now i download titanium and it doesnt even want to open.

I know for a fact it has worked on my phone when i installed it a couple of months ago
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Also, erase all the files and folders related to TB, install the TB add-on, it's the manager to get the app running well, don't forget to allow permissions when prompted.

[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
It may be that your source is explicitly calling for the XIaomi FM. I have the issue with the gallery app from my Pixel Phone. It only will open in the Google photo app.

However, one thing you could try is to remove the defaults. Not sure where it is, but I know its there ;) and if you getg desperate, maybe clear the data for the current source and dest apps

Or are you saying by removing the Xiomi default to Xiomi FM, that causes a crash?
[General Questions and Answers] mrrocketdog:
maybe dumb idea but can you freeze/disable the default FM and then see if you get prompt to open different FM?

or am i just waaaay offf?
[General Questions and Answers] bajannn:
There is a defaults section for apps, but there isnt one for File Manager. You can change launcher and other stuff but not FM. I do not know what will happen if I clear the data from the FMs.

The Force stop is disabled for the Xiaomi file manager.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
"Froce Stop" is different to disable / freeze. And there is also a "Hide". You access them through ADB. And if you have root, then you can also use a GUI through apps such as mine. TeMeFI I tend to Freeze & hide my apps. I found when I checked on earlier version of Android, frozen apps were still found in memory; I havent checked in newer android since I started to "Hide".
[General Questions and Answers] bajannn:
Well i dont know what and how to do those things, and i do not have root. I do remember something with adb cuz i used that to disable (i think) the power manager thing of my old huawei phone.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
From which file explorer, you are accessing to that file you want to open? Instead, can't you open it directly from the file explorer app, you want? For example, if you want to open an image, open Google File Manager, tap on the image and then the default photo/gallery manager will open that image, the same with any kind of files.

Also, you can disable File Manager from Miui using ADB https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/ this will, really, "behead" the app such way that won't interact with you (the user) anymore. Be sure that you have at least the default Google app installed to not force a factory reset to return to a functional state https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.nbu.files&hl=es&gl=US
[General Questions and Answers] bajannn:
Its not a case of being unable to access files, its more of a case of being unable to attach/send files over in apps, like attaching images and documents through gmail or sending a photo through the built in messaging of the e-commerce app i am using.

So the method to disable the file manager is one-way and cannot be undone without a factory reset? is there some way i can back the stuff i do have right now and be able to restore it?

Hello XDA,

I have a Samsung S10e - (SM-G970W) from Rogers Canada.

Just this past weekend as I was using it, it just froze. None of the buttons worked. I pressed on the Power Key until the phone restarted. However it just loads to the "SAMSUNG Galaxy S10e - Secured by Knox Powered by Andriod" screen and keeps bootlooping every 10 seconds back to the same screen.

I've tried to get into recovery mode (holding Volume UP, Bixby and then Power) but it takes me to a screen which says Watchdog Reset (CPU Hang) with no options for cache wipe or factory reset.

I've also downloaded Odin and the latest firmware version for this phone with Rogers and did a successful firmware flash using Download Mode (Volume Down + Bixby), however after the flash it just goes back into the same bootloop. I've tried flashing multiple times with both the Home_CSC and the other CSC file but both gave the same results.

I've tried letting the battery completely drain, but as soon as I plug it back in the Samsung screen appears and boot loops again.

Also sometimes the Samsung screen has a trail of pixels across, not sure if this is an indication of something on the Hardware side.

I've also read through the Bootloop Thread on Post #2 and wanted to try the one-click unbrick tool but the link seems to be dead.

What else can I do to try and recover this phone?

TIA
