I'm new to getting a phone directly through my carrier, so maybe this is just something I'll need to live with. But my T-Mobile Galaxy S8 has a T-Mobile branded Google start page that always loads when I start Chrome. I've dug through settings and changed the homepage to www.google.com. However, no matter what I do I can't get the T-Mobile branded start page to stop appearing every time I load up Chrome.

Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Root. Oh, you can't. This is why I'll never buy a phone I can't root. So, I totally control my own phone -- not the manufacturer, not the carrier I happen to be using. It's not their phone, it's mine.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] OsmanMusa:
Ok now I have a real reason to freaking try and flash another rom or something. I think some people said there is a common rom out there that can be flashed for any of the carriers. I can't stand seeing the annoying T-Mobile startup page in Chrome. I even tried the package disabler to disable the built in Chrome and when I install a new Chrome browser or even the Beta one from the PlayStore it does the same thing and keeps showing me a ridiculous startup page. They want to bloat us with ads and crap and hijack our default Google start pages even though we paid almost $800. It is getting ridiculous.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Dr. Fed:
I had no trouble resetting the homepage either. Chrome, settings, homepage (on), click on the address, type in google.com, hit save, back out. Now it always opens how I want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] s89281b:
For those that are having trouble getting homepage to change. After saving new home page of your choice be sure to close the tab that is showing T-mobile and reopen chrome. Dont just back out. Otherwise you are just opening the same tab that already is directed to T-mobile.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] calliefla:
Today is March 24th, 2024...and I have my neighbor's Samsung phone that she bought from T-mobile to work on since I take care of all her technology. I am telling you, T-MOBILE makes it IMPOSSIBLE to set your homepage in Chrome's settings.

I have a Samsung phone I bought through Verizon and another Pixel phone I bought from Google and I can set the home page to whatever I choose in the settings...but when I change the homepage settings in her T-Mobile phone, it does nothing...the T-Mobile site is always the homepage.

I even tried clearing all the data, caches, and cookies - and then tried disabling the T-mobile apps on the phone and no matter how many times you change the homepage in Chrome's settings..the d@>n T-Mobile site comes up. I finally resorted to searching the web and stumbled across the old post where no one provided any help because everyone insisted it could be done because they had gone to the settings and set their homepage. What you people should have said was...I don't know how to do it because my phone/service doesn't force their homepage on me.

Thanks to ChazzMatt --- and he wasn't being dramatic, he was stating the place that many of us have gotten to - I won't ever buy a phone from a carrier because they all force some kind of bloatware on their customers.

T-Mobile sucks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] calliefla:
So, you don't know how to do it either and can't help the person who asked the question. You just posted to waste our time.

Read this carefully...Going to the Chrome setting on a T-Mobile phone to change the homepage DOES NOT change the homepage! You either don't have a T-Mobile phone...or can't afford a new T-Mobile phone so are using a really old T-Mobile purchased phone before they forced the T-Mobile site on their customers!

Don't answer a question that you don't know the answer to...and try to be smug about it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] calliefla:
That doesn't help...close the tab, quit the program...it still forces the T-Mobile page on its customers! T-Mobile doesn't allow it's customers to set what page opens or the homepage of their choice. on their phones. You can't even completely uninstall Chrome and reinstall it.

Good thought though, thanks. It's a T-Mobile issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] calliefla:
Yes, unfortunately you have to live with it. T-Mobile phones won't let you customize your start page or your homepage.

I never buy my phones from my carrier anymore for that reason - meaning each carrier forces their own bloatware on its customer...with T-Mobile, it's their annoying page that's built into Chrome and you are stuck with it if you want to use Chrome. Next time, buy your phone from the marketplace and choose whatever carrier you prefer.

You can also download another browser - then you can go into the settings of that browser and set whatever you want. I've been using Brave, if you want to see what you think of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] calliefla:
I'll bet you don't have T-mobile and that's why you had "no trouble resetting the homepage either". The point of the post is that doing what you posted DOES NOT WORK on a T-Mobile phone. You didn't need to answer because you had nothing to contribute to help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] calliefla:

[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XTutorials:
I downloaded EMUI 4.0.3 from that update site "hwct ... something, I don't know" and installed it in TWRP 3.1.0.0-1, when rebooted, set up the phone and saw that is not EMUI 4.1, what I wanted, so I downloaded another "FULL" package from that site, copied to SD Card, But...

Tried to get in TWRP, just booted in stock. Many tries, and I thinked that the installation of the rom overwritten the TWRP with stock.

Installed ADB on Ubuntu 16.04 64-Bit, went into 'Fastboot an Rescue Mode", but... when connected phone to laptop and ran "adb devices" , NO device found. NONE! Tried to run "adb shell" -- error: no device, tried the fastboot flash recovery................. command and says "waiting for device"

This is a HUGE problem considering that I test custom roms really often and that I CANNOT live without root, :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

Is there a FIX for this problem? I will be very thankful if someone responds.

Or is just my laptop's problem?

Thanks! :good:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jammin72:
Just picked up a used Galaxy S7 which is supposed to be the AT&T Variant. Software reports as such, AT&T logo is on the back, seems to work fine. Only problem is that the software is reporting Sep 2016 and trying to get an OTA just returns that the software is up to date. When I search the IMEI every system reports this phone as a Verizon phone.

I could be stressing out for no reason and it will take some time for the phone to be provisioned correctly on my account but I'm not real sure how to check anything other than what the software is telling me. I would hate to have limited antenna access and no updates.

Anyone have a quick check in mind? I've tried LTE Discovery and CPU-Z for some added reports rather than the about phone section in settings to compare it to my S7Edge that's also on the account.

I have a Galaxy note 10.1 running kitkat 4.4.2 (GT-N8000)

Yesterday i was browsing the internet when suddenly the device decided to shut down and went on a restart boot loop where it would show the "Samsung galaxy note 10.1" screen for a while and then reboot and re-show the same screen

i have tried entering recovery mode but the tablet keeps restarting without end the only thing i can access is download mode

So recently i tried flashing using Odin but when ever i try to flash any file it shows this error

I have tried to download multiple stock roms from jelly bean to kitkat which all ended up failing

I have tried flashing the tablet with a "Repair rom" which contains the BL AP CSC and Modem files

i think that if i can still access the download mode that there is some hope to recover?

Any solutions?

Hello,

I rooted my s5 way back when it first came out but I haven't upgraded the firmware at all. From what I remember I had trouble installing a custom recovery so the phone is only rooted. I would like to bring it up to the most current version of android. What's the easiest way to do that? I'm on baseband version G900PVPUIAND2.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I found this https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2742994 which had a link to the stock factory image but sammobile doesn't seem to be hosting it anymore. Is there another reliable place that I can get it? Or would just doing a factory reset of my phone make it so I can start taking OTA's again?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Megado:
The latest stock firmware for G900V is Marshmallow QC1. You can download it here and use ODIN to flash it:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767155677

If you want to root it you can use CF-Autoroot in ODIN. This will trip Knox if not already tripped (but probably doesn't matter on an older phone like this).

https://download.chainfire.eu/408/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-kltespr-kltespr-smg900p.zip

If you want to install TWRP you can use ODIN again:

I bought a Nexus 6P and after I factory reseted it requests for account. I don't have any more contact with the man who sold me because he has no smartphone for now.

It has the January security patch.

Is there any somehow I can bypass FRP in January Patch?

I saw at YouTube that is able to bypass it with October patch, but couldn't find anything for January.

Thanks.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Debuffer:
He sold me and we did a factory reset. The battery was low so I arrived home to boot up and configure the device while charging, but got stuck in this.

Also, I found a way to bypass it and use the device without Google Account. If I unlock bootloader, complete wipe and install a custom ROM, would the account still be required?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5.1:
Hey,

Normally, if you enable OEM unlock, unlock bootloader, you may be able to skip setup and add your account.

I usually wipe my phone with OEM unlock enabled and no SETUP/account required. With OEM unlock disabled, setup/account required, even with the bootloader unlocked...

Hmm, so you were able to enable OEM unlock? How did you do, since you can't skip setup, or? And if you skipped setup, you should be able to delete the previous account from settings without issue. I'm confused...

Cheers...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Debuffer:
My friend found a way to skip all the initial configuration.

I can go in any setup, install apps via aptoide, etc.

If I enable OEM Unlock and install a Custom ROM will I be able to fully use my new device?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5.1:
Hey,

Did it involve the use of ADB by the way?

Also, if you got in settings, you can go in account and add yours, no?

Anyway... To my knowledge, when I let OEM unlock disabled and wipe, reflash, I have to add my account after the install. If OEM unlock is left enabled, I can skip setup.

Only way to figure it out is trying by yourself... :good:

Hopefully it will work.

Hey,

Seen someone talking about ADB commands to kill the setup app and bypass FRP. Haven't seen it yet and never tried that either. Since you said your friend found a way to bypass it, I thought he used something similar... :)

Hmm it will be hard now. It's 2am here in France and I'm going to bed...

This is how it works anyway. If you enable OEM unlock, the phone ask if you're really sure you want to enable it, and it will disable security feature = FRP...

Not sure, but I got a launcher here and I'm scared to factory reset and not be able to use it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] darrbeck:
First off the S8+ is gorgeous yada yada.....but here are some of my observations.

a) Notifications show at top as an icon but there is no preview, floating notification or anything of the sort to let me know if I care or not about the notification without pulling the tray.

b) Tray is white and hard to read. There doesn't seem to be clear breaks in between the notifications so everything runs together rather than a hard line separation.

c) The notifications on the lock screen are simply small icons with no detail, even though I have the "Notifications Icons only" unchecked in settings

d) Touchwiz doesn't rotate to landscape. Everything is customizable enough so Samsung doesn't have me running to replace with a launcher but I need it to rotate. May revert back to Nova......
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mobilehavoc:
I have the same issue with a). For c) double tap the home button and it takes you to lock screen with notifications. The icons are for AOD.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ZiprLips:
My complaints so far are Fingerprint scanner location, and the Bixby button. Why not just make an app for Bixby? If it's good, people will use it. If not, it's cause it sucks. To add a physical button locked to Bixby is just friggin lazy. Apple wouldn't even do that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] darrbeck:
Update:

Thanks for the tip on the double tap of the home button on the lock screen.

Another issue is there is no way to programatically pull down the tray without dislocating my thumb. I installed a third party floating widget that fixes this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mobilehavoc:
Swipe down on the fingerpint sensor and it brings the notification shade down and you can swipe it back up. Very h andy
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] anti09:
Nova and other third party launchers let you pull down the tray by swiping down anywhere on the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Skander1998:
Go to touchwiz settings, enable the apps button (this disables the pull down to apps). The pull down gesture will now open app the notification tray.
