" don't know for sure, you might try *#*#4636#*#* or ##72786# these are the only ones I can think of right now. "

Well, *#*#4636#*#* takes you to the android testing menu....Doesn't allow me to change any of the settings under the ##786#. The ##72786# takes me to a limited version of ##786#, but only lets me reset the info. I'm not allowed to change any of the settings.

##3282# or ##DATA# allows me to change settings if I put the MSL in, but they are only settings that are related to data use on the phone. You can't update the mobile number, MSID or MEID.

Again thanks all for any ideas you have.

This guy can unlock it for you remotely in under 10 min hope it helps
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] v_2ryann:
Hi, thanks for the info!

I don't need to unlock it, just manually set the mobile number, MSID or MEID.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] superassassin:
any update on this?

I've been having the same issues with the M8, M9, A9.

On the M8 all codes used to work fine (##MSL#, ##DATA#, etc). Then I updated to Android 6.0 via OTA and ##MSL# no longer worked, and ##DATA# was now read only.

On M9 I could never get ##MSL# to work, ##DATA# was read only until I flashed a custom rom (ViperRom). From there I was able to update MSID/MDN via EFS.

On A9 I'm SOL.

Obviously there is some setting that can be tweaked, I just don't know what/where.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] syntenza:
i'm on the same situation with the A9, nothing seems to work on it: ##diag# nor ##data#!! i'm sim unlocked, s-off, stock deodexed rom. just need to edit my LTE bands.

Hi

Although not new to rooting and samsung devices, Im totally blue when it comes to the 925F. (just got it)

Since I got it from mom in law, keeping it running is imperative to my health. :p

Did quite some reading and still not too sure so :

I'd like to know the basic steps to get it rooted. Don't care about tripping knox

Not intending to flash different ROMs for now, will stay on stock but like to have a custom recovery in place.

My details:

Android ver: 6.0.1

Baseband: G925FXXU3DPC3

Kernel: 3.10.61-7025264

Build: MMB29K.G925FXXU3DPCN

Android patch level: 2nd April, 2016.

Would somebody pls. be so good and provide me the basic steps + links to any required SW if possible, so I don't get stuck half way?

If any further info is needed, shoot.

Highly appreciate it.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exlaval:
flash kernel

simplest way is to flash via odin

1) rc kernel 2.1 or any kernel for the 925f - (S6-UniKernel_v6-0001-ODIN or SpaceX-Kernel_MM_RC2.1_G925F.tar - i used this one quite often of samsung firmware and custom roms)

2) then flash arter97-recovery-g925fi-12.0-twrp_3.0.0-0.tar --- to install twrp recovery - do not use any other version of twrp on the 25f - none works - just tried the supposedly super duper 3.0.1 version - it conked - stick with arter can't go wrong)

more than once when getting stuck with custom roms or other issues i back tracked with samsung roms and these 2 tweaks and i was back on my feet in less than 30 minutes

good luck
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brammieman:
Thanks :) By now I took the leap and managed with SpaceX kernel. Recovery must be arter's than cause I had no issues besides it refuses to reboot nicely by button press in recovery. (need to hold power and vol down to reboot)

Other experience I had was Super Su asking to flash new binaries, don't use TWRP but regular option cause my phone got caught in a boot loop into recovery. Had to flash stock to recover.

Anyhow thanks for your reply.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reilly9:
I seem to be having an issue with my proximity sensor. At times it works 100% which leads me to believe it's a bug in the marshmallow update, since it never happend before it. Sometimes when making a call I can't hang up, the only thing I can do is force reboot the phone. Anyone else with this issue,or should I send it in for repair.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] welshlad:
No it happens to me too since the update, very rarely but very annoying!

I'm on the UK Generic version if that makes any difference...
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reilly9:
I'm on the same firmware :(

Really annoying indeed. I wouldn't say rarely in my case, 70% of the time I'd say... Hopefully it gets solved asap!
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] welshlad:
I find if you give the screen a wipe where the proximity sensor is when it happens, it usually sorts it out. Maybe it's just over sensitive or something...
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yusufjee:
Has anyone found any solution? This is annoying me too much. Sometimes even when I tap play in music app, the screen goes black.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farooknaji:
I have the same problem which began instantly after updating to build number 32.1.A.1.185, and this happens to me every time I place a phone call. Running the Ear Proximity test has it vibrating constantly (meaning that it detects the ear). If i wipe the area above the proximity sensor before running the test and then run the test with nothing near the sensor then it will remain off - but then when something approaches the sensor it kicks in and then never switches off even when you move away from the sensor.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yusufjee:
Seems like they have quietly fixed it through some update because it is working fine now.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dknapec:
Completely same problem here with same behaving, but with build 32.2.A.0.224. Any solution?

I mean as farooknaji wrote...
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jabe:
same problem here!

Where is the proximity sensor. Could be my panzerglass (tempered glass screen protector) pressing on it leading my phone to think its againt my ear?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giskardors:
Same problem here since last firmware update! I contacted sony but they say is a hardware issue :S

Do you guys know a way to fix it? Its pretty anoying

Hi,

I am trying to use Wireless Update to update to 20160315. It says my current version is P9000_Elephone 6.0_20160304 and no update is available. Is it possible to use Wireless Update for this or do I need to flash the ROM?

Thanks
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] oomho:
Some had the luck with an ota update, but I think most of us flashed the new rom.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] TheBishopOfSoho:
This is a bit ridiculous, Im in same boat, I cant use the FP sensor on mine until I get 0315, but it says Im up to date on 0304, I cant flash as I dont have windows. I think the best thing I can do with this phone now is put it back in its box and send it back to the retailer. Very frustrating as apart from this, its a good device.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] badbobe:
I ended up flashing it and overall it was worth it. I ended up with a clean install - don't know if there was another way so that I didn't have to re-install everything? The process was also a bit more fiddly when using Windows 10 as I had to bypass the driver signing system by booting windows with this disabled.

Does anyone have an issue with WiFi consuming a lot of power? I've now enabled it to be always on to see if that helps as I read somewhere that it might.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] blairpoodle:
According to a post on the Elephone forum, they've pulled the ota and we should expect a new one mid April.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Maor545:
Some users have 20160401beta, so they are working on something.

For me no OTA, you need to flash it manually with the latest flash tools. Older versions can not load the scatter file.

Best would be, if the elephone distributes the update.zip so we could copy it to the phone and install it from the update menu.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] okisan:
Does installing via the update menu work? I have the zip for the 20160315 build but am unsure as to whether installing this way would work. I use a Mac so flashing via computer isn't an option...
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] chtsarts:
Hello, i would like to ask how we can perform a local update from the option that there is at the phone
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Jonny:
For that you need the OTA file, which so far are not provided by Elephone.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] chtsarts:
Then i must wait a developer to provide the OTA file because i have mac and i can't use sp flash tools?
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Jonny:
Thought there were windows emulators for Mac, or dual boot etc.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] TheBishopOfSoho:
So I finally managed to flash using my Mac, virtualbox, and v5.1604 of flash tool.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Geek123Geak:

[Galaxy S II General] noppy22:
Intro

I recently decided to do an experiment and see what (android) life would be like without google. I'll admit that I haven't completely ditched google altogether, and I'm not 100% sure I'll never go back to using google apps again in the future. I still use google search and gmail on my pc for example.

I welcome anyone who wants to add their experiences or comments.

I'll start by saying that my motivation to try android without google was more to do with increeasing battery life and reducing data consumption. Others may be more interested in privacy/security and this is another benefit in reducing your reliance on google. It is debatable how much privacy you will gain by not using google, but it depends on how far you go with the idea.

My experience with google play services is that it is a bit of a battery drainer and is occasionally unstable on some custom roms. What I've found so far is that without play services, the battery consumption(both SOT and with screen off) is much better. I do use greenify as well. The downside is that some apps(even mainstream apps you wouldn't expect) only run properly with google play services installed.

So, what I did is install a custom rom(in my case Slimsaber 4.4.4; you can use your preferred rom), without gapps. I'm using 1Mobile Market for my app store, HERE maps for maps/gps. You can download any music or books you have on Play and use 3rd party players/e-readers.

To sync my contacts and calendar, I have found Fruux is an excellent alternative to google sync.

I've found most of the apps I normally use are available on 1Mobile app store, but as I said some of them don't work without play services.

More to come......
[Galaxy S II General] noppy22:
App Store

One of the most obvious and hardest things to replace is the Google Play Store.

I've started with 1Mobile Market, which is a great alternative to Play. It boasts over 800,000 apps available and is free to install. The good thing about this one is they have a lot of the "mainstream" apps you would also find in the play store. Just download the apk and install with a file explorer(needs root permission), or adb. Others include F-Droid and Amazon app store. Here is a nice article on other app stores(with download links).

Search for "google play store alternatives" for other options

One thing you may need to do is allow apps from unknown sources, which is normally under Settings -> Security or Settings -> Developer options

Contacts and Calendar

Like a lot of users, I am using gmail and had my contacts and calendar events backed up with gmail as well. It's very convenient(especially if you test out new roms frequently) to be able to just flash gapps after a new rom and your contacts are all there. I have found Fruux is just as good for syncing contacts and calendar events. Or you can export the contacts from gmail as a .vcf file and import the file in your contacts app.

YouTube

You can use youtube without play services by using a modified version by Paraphron here on xda. The only down side is you won't be able to use your google account to sync(or add any account), so subscribing to channels etc is not possible(at least for me). The app is here. Make sure you thank Paraphron if you like his work.

Search bar widget

There are numerous search bar options. Different browsers have there own search bar, as well as 1Mobile app store to name a few. I've started using DuckDuckGo. It claims never to track you or your usage, so a big upside in privacy, but no personalized searches.

Maps

I read somewhere you can use google maps without play services, but I haven't tried. I'm using HERE maps, which so far has been just as good, maybe a little less smooth when scrolling the map
[Galaxy S II General] noppy22:
Conclusion

What I have found is the battery life is greatly improved without play services running on my i9100(at least 50% better SOT). For me the upsides outweigh the downsides.

Upsides

MUCH better battery life, both in deep sleep and screen on time

better stability, no more "google play services has stopped" or sudden/extreme battery drops

less data consumption(not measured)

Easy flashing a new rom. Just backup, wipe and flash the rom. Reboot

Downsides

Extra steps when installing a new rom(see next post)

Some non-google apps don't work without play services(so far I've found very good alternatives to ones I used)

Limited access to google apps
[Galaxy S II General] noppy22:
Extra steps when installing new rom

Manually install file manager(depends on the rom; you may not need to do this if the rom comes shipped with a good file manager with root access)

I use Es file explorer to install my backed up user apps.

[Galaxy S II General] noppy22:
Updated

Some screenshots of battery life on AOKP-6.0.1(stock kernel, default clock speed and gov/i/o scheduler)

I was easily able to get 5 hrs SOT on slimsaber 4.4.4(with dorimanx 10.50v005, default settings)
[Galaxy S II General] FcukBloat:
very interesting, I still have to learn how to setup cal/cardDAV to sync my contacts and calendars...
[Galaxy S II General] noppy22:
Sorry for late reply, I've started using Fruux. It works similar to sync from google. Your contacts and calendar events are saved periodically, and synced every time you flash a new rom and you can choose how often you sync. I've found it works very well as an alternative to google(sync) without having to use google play services.

On this device, my battery is still far better without gapps/play services, and is the primary reason(pretty much the only reason) I am continuing without them. I really don't miss google apps, but that's just my usage
[Galaxy S II General] FcukBloat:
hi. i used fruux in the past, but had to dismiss it because I occasionally had some problems when adding new contacts failing to add properly.. I am using another rom right now so I am trying it again as I write... let's see if it will work fine... hopefully.. as I hate all gservices! will report :)
[Galaxy S II General] noppy22:
I noticed in the fruux settings you can choose how often to auto-sync. By default is once a day. Maybe you could make that more often.

I added a contact yesterday and checked on my pc(by logging in on their webpage) while I was working out how to import from my .vcf file, and it had synced successfully. Hope it works well for you this time.....

Edit: You probably know already, but you need to change the account to fruux from local at least in the aosp contacts app when you add a new contact otherwise it won't sync
[Galaxy S II General] FcukBloat:
Yes i know that thanks. I have only fruux account enabled and visualized and of course I'm adding new contacts to fruux account. Nevertheless in the past new contacts sometimes simply could not be added properly in phone's address book... Let's see now how it goes with this second attempt in this almost 100% aosp rom I'm using.. Hope it works flawlessly as this is a very good solution and would be a great alternative for google sync... Will report! :o
[Galaxy S II General] CLPose:
Suscribed! Hi, there! What a great post! :highfive: I hate Google Play Services and the only reason I keep them is for contact and calendar sync. Currently, I have a Moto G 2014 and CM12.1. I REALLY want to get rid of GPS. Whenever I have the time, I'll clean flash and test :victory:. Keep up the good work! :good:
[Galaxy S II General] FcukBloat:
So far so good using fruux for my contacts, calendars and tasks sync :o

As play store replacement i use apkpure app :o

Don't miss gapps/services at all :good: :p
[Galaxy S II General] CLPose:
Great! ;) What about RAM consumption as a background service? :confused: I really think that's Google Play Service mayor problem. TIA!
[Galaxy S II General] FcukBloat:
You mean frrux?

[Galaxy S II General] ssanjy:
Hey [MENTION=6418283]noppy22[/MENTION]

I really envy your battery life.... Well though I'm not a battery kind of guy but your battery usage really got me to reconsider the potential of ROM without Gapps.......My battery is about 3.5 years old and has now puffed a little (I've been trying to find a replacement but in our country we get cheap chinese stuffs which are not good and I've asked refund after a couple of them did not work and yes Amazon and ebay are NOT here to offer us OEM and Anker Batteries.... ;))..... If I use it too much I probably have to charge at least twice a day.....On light usage (just xda labs, youtube, viber, etc. and NO FB) I can hardly get 1.5 hrs. of SOT and max of 8 hrs of overall backup....Well that's when I used GApps....The only reason I use it is to sync my contacts though I do back it up now and then with 3rd party softwares...... I'm trying fruux at the moment to see how much it can offer to me to sync my contact....What I wanted to know is how much apps do you install and do you use Xposed?
