Hello, Verizon voicemail is draining my battery a bit and i dont even use it. I use google voicemail. Is there a way to disable it with an app since the phone doesnt let you disable it?

Thanks
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] aviwdoowks:
Get the same app from Z or maybe a Force will work too.

On MM these "fake" apps Z app effectively disabled many app which if they installed, would force close without much fuss.

Be careful some do create a stink and if you do not know what to do you must wipe data from recovery.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] sruel3216:
what app is on the Z?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] aviwdoowks:
Same app same name

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] james changstein:
Apologies if this topic has been covered..

Got my Axon 7 yesterday and inserted my Verizon SIM and everything worked perfect; I didn't have to change a thing. The only thing didn't work for me was the 'R' is permanently on and the phone thinks it's Roaming and wouldn't let me update to Nougat. Out of the box, about two hours after applications have been downloaded, configured, I was able to get 100Mbps in my own driveway, which wasn't available with my old Nexus 6 it replaces.

With the current setup in Android 6.0, I am able to use the Wifi HotSpot via FoxFi. I have the old Unlimited data plan with Verizon and I don't want to give it up.

I would like to keep my phone updated and am aware of the use of a GSM Sim card and manually add APN to get the phone working again when updated to Nougat 7.1.1

Would anyone know if the Wifi HotSpot feature be taken away should I upgrade to Nougat 7.1.1?

Or should I exercise certain caution when upgrading to Nougat?

Cheers,

James

Sorry to ask these questions but...im not really sure how to find the answers to them as it is just assumed that ppl know these sorts of things...i have searched.

I have a US Sprint Vogue and was wondering...how can I tell if any of these wonderful ROMs out there will work for my device? I have looked at many and searched their threads for: gsm, cdma, touch, vogue, sprint, etc...hoping to find a hit saying that this rom is only compatible with or not compatible with one of these terms...any help please? Thank you very much; I would VERY much like to flash my Vogue with a custom ROM.

Also, (and this is probably a VERY noobish and no no question)...what does WWE mean.. :S ?

Thanks everyone for your patience with noobs like me.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cerberus06:
Well i have a Sony Xperia z1 c6903 with a locked bootloader and i tried to install a custom ROM this one "DstrikerZ1KaiROM_SP007".

When i finish install this rom my phone enter in a logo-bootloop and now cant enter in recovery mode so i cant install a stock rom again ( i wiped user data, cache, dalvik before install it).

I tried some methods to revive my phone and no works:

* Flash a ftf firmware "C6903_14.5.A.0.270_Customized_SG_Light.ftf" with flashtool in flash mode.

* I tried to install recovery image via fastboot "TWRP.img" with "minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4".

* I tried to unlock my bootloader with flashtool but my phone is not able to unlock bootloader.

* Also i tried Emma software and it cant help me cause my bootloader is locked. sad history.

So i think my phone is hard-brick but in forums says if u can see sony logo, enter in flashmode, fastboot is not hard-brick is soft-brick. Well lot of guides explains how to unbrick a sof-bricked phone but all uses the recovery mode that i cant enter.

If you guys know a way to install in my phone the recovery mode again i think i can fix it. all answers will be apreciated. Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cerberus06:

i found a "Xperia Z1 (C6903) 14.6.A.1.236 Germany Generic.ftf" but my phone is not germanic im downloading right now i dont know if it is gona work.

Good morning, after searching and reading endless post of solutions I did not find any. To if I prepared to post the problem here and see if any solution arises, since we are several affected by this.

I pass the following: When I try to flash firmware stock con ABDtool . First flicks (Prevalidation Failed) Bootloader when flashing:

It could be caused by not unlocking the boot loader, but My bootloader it unlocked

You can flash the stock in the same way without flashing those 2 lines, but the terminal lights up and goes straight to Fastboot. Any way to fix it ??

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
If you searched, you would know preflash validation errors mean your device has newer firmware then you are trying to flash. locked devices do no support​ downgrading, if you can't skip gpt.bin and bootloader.bin and get it booting, you're probably out of luck.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ohioa6driver:
Hey guys,

So today my Pixel has been acting weird. I was listening to spotify on my phone's speakers and it suddenly got really quiet. Then a few minutes later they acted fine again. Now they wont emit any kind of sound, even the boot noise. But, when I plug in my headphones or bluetooth to my car all the sound works. Any ideas? Im running 7.1.2 rooted with EX and viper. I tried using SoundAbout to force sound through the speakers with no success.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] exad:
try flashing the full stock pixel image and test speakers. (give it a day as it may work for a bit after flashing.)

this may seem like a software issue since it may work after restoring stock for a bit but it probably isnt.

if you still have the issue and its likely you will, contact google or your carrier depending on where you purchased it, to get a replacement. this is a known issue due to poor soldering.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ohioa6driver:
Thanks Exad. Reverted everything to stock, did a factory reset, and nothing. Google is just going to replace it. Thanks for the advice.
[Samsung Gear S3] cwdeyoung:
I've got a Samsung S3 Frontier and want to use it to for hiking. I use All-Trails on my Android phone but they don't don't provide a S3 app. Does anyone know of an app that will let me load a trail, I can use a GPX file to load the trail into a different app on my phone but I don't see an app that also has the S3 support I need.

I'm looking for the ability to at least track distance, waypoint so it can be showin on a map, speed, elevation, elevation gain per hour, etc. The watch has all the sensors I need, I just need an app will work for hikes.

Looked at MapMyHike but it doesn't have a S3 companion app.

Any help would be appreciated,

[Samsung Gear S3] ingoor:
Good news for everybody looking for a hiking app for the Samsung Geare S3

Finally - after 2 years of waiting - there is now a real hiking app available, that has all the features I always wanted: Locus Map Pro/Free Watch.

This works in conjunction with

Locus Map Free/Pro - Hiking GPS navigation and maps phone app (for Android) - which is a feature and map rich app by itself.

The watch app support lots of different maps (not just Google...). It supports track recording, navigation, stats etc.

You can plan a hike on your phone and then follow it on the watch.

I fully recommend it.

I used it now on several hikes and am fully satisfied - finally after trying so many other "hiking" apps.

I did a factory reset so as I could pass the phone on, and it would then only boot into recovery and won't go any further, I tried to install about 10 roms and most give a successful install message but when I rebooted it just went to recovery again...And now I've totally bricked it! I found a 'recovery loop breaker' and now it won't do anything, won't turn on won't charge, no charging light, computer doesn't see it, total brick....tried flashing, with su flash tools and it can't see the phone. As the pc can't see the phone is it destined for the landfill? Any ideas because I don't want to throw it away it was a good phone. btw turns out the 'recovery loop breaker' was for another phone! doh
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TheIgster:
Can anyone suggest the best way to test cell signal on the S7 Edge? My wife and I both have the same phone, but hers consistently seems to report more bars in the same location. I've had calls drop quite often on the first dial and then they stay connected the second time I call. I'm looking to test both phones and see if it's all in my head or if there really is an issue with my device. Any help would be appreciated on an app to use or other way to test the two phones. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cosmic Blue:
did you try phone info fromthe play store.

under monitor it will tell your signal strength. I believe through its service menu you also preform a signal test.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TheIgster:
Yeah, but those numbers don't mean anything to me. Other than saying moderate for level, it doesn't say much.

Edit: My wife is not home right now, so maybe I'll install this on both phones and see if there is a difference in the same location;. Just wondering what options are out there for testing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cosmic Blue:
when you look i phone info under signal strength the number tells how good your calling capability is,

It is measured in dBm.

average should be should be around -101 dBm for full bars depending on your provider.

compare it with your wife's signal strength.

Keep in mind that software plays a part, please check that base band version and csc is the same.

Different base bands and csc means that signal strength can vary.

These should be identical as these two items communicate with your phone provider re reception and transmission.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TheIgster:
Phones are both stock. Same provider and same software version. I'm pretty sure I've got reception issues because of the dropped calls. Like I said, she's not home right now to test, but in looking at bars previously, she always seems to have more bars in the same location as me. My phone in our condo here is always around -111 to -120 (LTE). That is right on the cusp of bad from what I can tell. Not sure where to go from here. Really don't want to do a factory reset, but I've read it can help clear up problems like this. Not sure how. Might be a lemon, as I've only had the device since February.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cosmic Blue:
i suggest you call your provider and ask them to reset your phone on their system.

It might cause a difference because of flushing out of any information that may have been related to issues on your account.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TheIgster:
Hmmmm...not sure what this is or what it would do. Never heard of such a thing.

Just got another dropped call. Signal was about -114. I placed a call. While it was connecting, the signal went to about -130 and then to -102 and then dropped. On a second attempt, the signal went to -97 and it connected fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cosmic Blue:
Normally when you call your provider to report a problem with your phone.

One of the things they do is to reset your account in case there is an issue in your file as well as doing other tests.

It is similar to you cleaning the cache on your phone from time to time as bits and piece of old files then to slow down your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] red6hu:
Try to swap the SIM cards and check what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TheIgster:
So this is an older thread, but the issue had been ongoing. Lots of things tried. New sim. Called Rogers (my provider here in Canada) and had them reset mobile connection settings on their end. Tried resetting on my end. Seemed to get better and then back to being an issue again.

Lately it had gotten worse. When I would drive home and park in our parking garage, I would immediately go into roaming mode and was no longer connected to the Rogers network. I was then connected to Rogers-EXT because I had enabled data roaming on my device, from a previous call to Rogers, it was their suggestion to try and keep connectivity, as it is included in my package. The phone would stay roaming as I rode the elevator and into my condo and then usually connect to WiFi and then eventually reconnect to the main Rogers network. Meanwhile this never happened on my wife's S7 Edge, going the same route from her vehicle. Same device, exact same settings, same software version, same updates, etc. Her's never entered roaming mode or got disconnected from the main Rogers network.

Lately, when mine had been entering roaming mode and after I entered my condo, it would stay connected to Rogers-EXT. No matter what I did, a reboot, turn roaming on and off, etc. I had to physically remove myself from the LTE network and then reconnect and register with the network, and then I would connect to the main Rogers network and stop roaming. This was all getting damn frustrating, especially since the same thing was not happening to my wife's phone.

One setting I had not read much about and had not tried was VoLTE. I went into settings and turned this off. I immediately started getting a bit better readings on signal strength as well as no roaming issues any longer at all. I could park, ride the elevator and get into my condo and stay connected to the main Rogers network without issue, exactly like my wife's phone. Funny thing is, VoLTE is ON, on my wife's phone.

I really have no idea why her's works and mine doesn't, other than a hardware issue on my device. I thought about sending my phone in, as I'm still under warranty until the end of December, but right now, everything is working as expected and I haven't heard call quality suffer at all, with the calls I've made so far. I really didn't want to have to wipe my device and send it in and deal with a loaner if I didn't have to. I only plan on keep the device until about August of next year anyway.

If anyone out there knows of why this was happening to my device and not hers or if you have any other suggestions as to how to fix this and re-enable VoLTE (although I don't think it's really that important), please let me know. Again, it sure seems like a hardware (antenna) issue to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TheIgster:
Aaaaaaaaand nevermind. Worked fine for about 3 days and today it was roaming again after coming up from the parking garage. Ugh. Wish I knew for sure this was a hardware issue. Such a pain to send your phone in, use a loaner, set your phone all up again when you get it back.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] AussieUsa:
Hi there...

its been a fair while since I've used a custom ROM .. I used to do it with out fail on some of my previous devices loading nightly's of Cyanogen Mod's before they were what the cool kids liked :P - then my last device was a Galaxy S3 and loaded various ROM's on that over time -- back then there was always hacks around the hotspot/tethering detection as a feature in the ROM's I used. I've searched this and the other Mate 9 forums here and found no talk of any of the ROM's doing this. Have things changed that its harder to do that now or am I just missing something? -- the simple question really is there any custom ROM's to get around hotspot/tether detection with the Mate 9?

cheers
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
There are no "real" custom roms yet. Everything is based completely on stock.

And the only roms we have that are being worked on are AurRom and KangVIP.

As for ways to enable tethering, it can be done. It's probably harder to make your operator not see that you're tethering.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] AussieUsa:
Fare enough .. i suppose as the Mate 9 is not a carrier based phone its not getting the attention other phones are getting .... my only recourse right now is to buy $49 cheapo phone on the "official" compatible list and swap out the SIM when I want to hotspot.. oh and pay the fekking 10 buck fee ... which is a bunch of bunk if ya ask me !

thanks for the reply mate ... now I dont have to keep wondering about it :)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaGgY_42o:
I got mine from Amazon, they missed the shipping window so I got a full refund, $15 credit and the battery lol. Would like to say though, buy one already curved, the battery will pretty much influence the entire body of the phone, having it even slightly off will cause the frame to bend and warp which is noticable. I spent idk how long trying all sorts of methods, even using my old battery as a guide to bend the new one, have been doing repairs for years, have ran my own repair shop for a time, extensive collection of ifixit/various tools and such, and I was still unable to bend it 100% factory curve, which results in an odd, for lack of a better term, "twist" to the phone when held up & looking straight down the phone, screen facing ceiling. The top left corner is ever slightly twisted to the rear. I have retried over the last 2-3 months here and there, taking it out, straightening the mid-frame on a completely flat (checked with level) surface, making sure the built-in guide plastics are aligned, then getting the battery to where I swear it's perfect, but when everything is back together, it's always just a little off lol.

I mean it's not really noticable unless you know what your looking for, if you really inspect it, but my OCD attention to detail can't stand it lol. This is a launch day, pre-ordered Nexus 6 that has always been in a dual layer case, never dropped, and not one scratch on it, screen or body, it's my baby and I like to take care of my phone's. Yet this battery is driving me mad that I'm seriously considering in the future buying an entire new mid-frame, screen, and OEM pre-curved battery just to have it right lol.

Might as well get a new phone at that point. Which battery from Amazon and how does it compare, besides the curve?
