[Security Discussion] IronRoo:
It may not be hacked just some fault. What numbers is it dialling? Just random from your phone book or only premium numbers? If premium numbers then yes likely a malicious app or you are hacked. Check your bill. But if you only download from Google apps should be pretty safe, so unlikely, but if you have got them from some random website, it's far more likely a bad app. Or do you have to get apps from Alcatel as it's now owned by TCL, some Chinese manufacturers are known to install suspect system apps and update apps remotely without notification, but not sure if Alcatel is one, also Chinese app vetting on their app stores is generally not up to Google standards.

Easiest option, as it's new is probably take it back to the store and claim under warranty if possible, don't mention hacking, just say it's not working properly, which could actually be the case. If they agree say you will bring it back later after you have encrypted & factory reset it (to delete your personal data).

If you really think it was hacked then you should change all your passwords that may be compromised, incl Google and other accounts, as well as any other app ones, preferable from another clean device before entering into your new phone. Also your wifi & router admin passwords etc.

Alternatively you could look for possible signs of hacking. Install & run a good antivirus to check apps. Install an app that shows internet addreses you are connecting to, any suspicions ones? Check your settings, are any apps listed in Device Administrators? Look at what processes are running. Run a root checking app. Unfortunately even if nothing shows none of this guarantees you are not compromised. The easiest way to get rid of some nasties is to do a factory reset (it will delete photos, chats etc). But this may not be enough so best way is to reinstall the full stock rom from Alcatel using your PC, and change all passwords of course as per above. See why I said just change it under warranty if possible :silly:
[Security Discussion] whois345:
Hello and thanks. This is a standart mobile phone, not a smartphone. It has no GPS/GPRS, blutetooth or internet. It dials two-digit or one-digit numbers, for example: 9, 82, 83 etc. My bill doesn't look suspicious. The phone has an option which states "Return to factory settings". I did that and the phone is still under warranty. The OS is proprietary. I think it's pretty hard to hack a phone like this, but I could be wrong.
[Security Discussion] IronRoo:
LOL! I actual have that phone too! (though probably slightly earlier version from about 4yrs ago) still use on occasion when visiting certain countries for instance, I had forgotten it is also a One Touch.

Yes, harder to hack but still possible & not much data to steal from it!

I would now say it's almost certainly a hardware issue as these numbers in one area of keyboard, maybe just some moisture in there or more corrosive contamination from manufacturing eg flux from soldering. So return under warranty.

What did you do to make it not update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jshamlet:
Probably went into the Play store page for the app and turned off auto-updates. It's the menu in the top-right corner of the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] freeop:
Pretty much what I did. It would not let me Uncheck the Auto-Update for the app with out the Overall Auto-Update turned on. So waited until I had a bunch of updates, turned on Overall Auto-Update and when the other apps were updating, clicked on the one I wanted to exclude and unchecked the Auto-Update for that items.

Easy-Peasy...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] siberian85:
So after 2-3 miss leading threads here I would really like for anyone to clear out if verizon note that can be fully rooted and rooted enough to freeze apps

Because there is several threads about rooting but many people say is fake

Also is it better to update note 5 on Verizon to android 7.0 or keep it on android 6

Battery drain seems a bit high

Thanks if anyone helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Verizon Note 5 cannot be rooted yet! Not even tether root! I downgraded back from Nougat to MM 6 because Nougat was giving me only 4 hours at most of screen on time and on MM 6 I get 6 to 8 hours.. If you need something to disable apps use Package Disabler from the Play Store it also needs PDP engine from the Play Store too in order to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] siberian85:
Thanks a lot for quick response

Is that app on plastered better than native android disable app feature in application management?

Also if I decide to upgrade to android 7 should I do it over the air or with Odin for easier going back to mm just in case

Thanks for all help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Tallica21:

Now that these phones are waterproof. Wouldn't it be best to apply the screen protector under water. It is recommended to put some water on the screen so you can push it out along with the airbubbles/dust.

Why not fully submerge it now?

[LG G6 Accessories] lg3FTW:
I can't lie that's a very interesting concept. Get the cheap ones from Amazon glass of course but try it
[LG G6 Accessories] FoneWatcher:
I've never seen instructions to put water on my phone to apply a screen protector. I remember a few years back some primitive TGSPs required water, but I avoided those at that time because of it.

Also, is water damage covered by the mfr. warranty if some residual moisture causes damage?
[LG G6 Accessories] tkoreaper:
Honestly, if HTC says it's IP67 rated and you get water damage from just placing it in a bowl of water for a couple minutes then it's their fault by means of a defect because it's supposed to be completely fine submerged in 3.3' of water for 30mins.
[LG G6 Accessories] SolarisSixth:
Well, I use skinomi screen protectors and you're supposed to use some soapy water to make them fit better.

It's nice because you can keep adjusting them, and once they're on right, you take off the extra water, and they stick down.

You get a little murky effect for 24 hours or so, but after its super clear.

Your mileage may vary of course, but it's an interesting idea.
[LG G6 Accessories] Amypeng:
It doesn't seem a good idea for me. Someone told me that you can apply it in your bathroom after taking the shower. This worth a try, maybe.

Besides, has anyone used ALCLAP screen protector for LG G6? I see that they have the white and black color. Wondering if I should just throw away my clear one and have a switch.
[LG G6 Accessories] freeza:
Have done this. Works flawlessly. Underwater ftw
[LG G6 Accessories] Batryoperatedboy:
I have the ALCLAP... I love it. The item doesn't match the instructions perfectly but the build quality is stellar enough that it's still my preferred screen. (Besides, we've all installed enough screen protectors that it shouldn't be an issue).

I installed the second one I received (warrantee) underwater and I don't think it added any benefit to the install process.

It's coupled with either the Bear Motion case, or a simple thin-line TPU case and in both cases the fitment is good. All items were recommended here so I guess I have to give you guys credit for how much I enjoy my phone. =)
[LG G6 Accessories] Amypeng:
Wow, thanks for sharing. And I really don't like the idea of applying screen protectors underwater. Sounds weird for me. I would get my bathroom foggy first to settle the dust in the air. :laugh::laugh:

Read this^^^article today and thought it was a pretty nifty idea. I am originally from Hawaii and fly home periodically and my device usually dies by the end of the flight (from watching movies, listening to music, playing games, etc). Personally, I plan on getting the standard usb version as I have plenty of adapters, so why spend the extra money.

In the article, there are links provided if you are interested in getting this.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] hayduke:
That's cool. I'm a little surprised there is enough power coming through the headphone jack. If it works, then it's a great idea!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] Torg:
Or just plug it into the airline power plug. Depending on airplane they are the same as a cigarette lighter, and if not there are adapters for it. To get a 12V cigarette to USB charger is extremely cheap. Normally I just plug it into my laptop and plug my laptop into the airline power plug.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] nitro2k01:
Above all, isn't there a risk of blowing a fuse? When I'm flying the crew always tells me not to use my own headphones because it could possibly have a too low impedance. (=drain too much current) Then imagine the current those chargers will use.

Suddenly in the UK every shop, restaurant / pub or other you go in or near pops up asking for a review.

I've disabled google notifications but will this stop me receiving notifications from my google calendar for instance?

Never had anything like this before I got the S8+!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] willcor:
i cannot give you direct answer,

but your question intrigues me. I would most likely say, if you disabled Google notifications,(Completely or just lockscreen or what) I would say it would also block your Google calendar notifications etc..

However for you to get this "spam review request" surely either your Device data 4 G, wifi or Bluetooth is on and scanning for other devices.

Other "business" stores pick up your device signal and then spam ?

I had this happen to me (past) , if i forgot eg bluetooth on etc.

Did you look carefully at various Device settings if you can block it ?

See screenshot for example
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bonerp:
understand what your are saying but for example its not a shop sending me the bt connection (Claires is an awful culprit for this in the UK) - it is google....

However I have disabled nearby device scanning and re-enabled google notifications....so will see if it stops later...

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] willcor:
I then would say its in G maps settings.

Look at screenshot "Business Listing"or " Timeline notifications...? " option ? (top of page)

Google maps/ settings Notifications /People and Places/.......

Nearly positive that's your culprit... Timeline notifications.

Hallo liebe Community,

Ich hab bald vor mein Samsung Galaxy S7 edge zu verkaufen, allerdings hab ich das gerootet und ich habe gehört sobald man die "OEM Entsperrung" entfernt geht das Handy in einen Bootloop.

Nur ist meine Frage nun, wenn ich das in Werkseinstellungen zurücksetze ob dann die "OEM Entsperrung" aktiv bleibt, oder diese sich dann deaktiviert und das Handy in einen Bootloop geht.

Bitte um Antwort

Grüße

Robin
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] theflippa:
The question is if the OEM unlock setting sticks when formating or flashing.

Yes it stays on whatever setting it is. You can only manually disable the unlock, but only do it on original software, otherwise you will get stuck in that bootloop.

(In german: Den OEM unlock kannst du nur manuell deaktivieren, sonst bleibt er wie er ist, unabh. von aufgespielter Software)

I believe asking in another language then english is not allowed. Your post will probably get locked or removed.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] sikica133:
u obv wiped /data partition at some point. flashing both zips should've fixed that tho. in any case, dirty fix without wiping anything is to extract your update_data_full_hw_eu or whichever u have, move it to /data via some sort of root explorer, so the path looks like /data/hw_init, and apply proper permissions to all files and folders: rwxr-xr-x to folders, rw-r--r-- to files. this works. alternatively you could take the same files and push them to proper locations in /system, also applying same permissions.

however, dload should work

didnt really bother with it because i received OTA, but as far as i can tell, issue is not with the zips, rather security checks. those 2 data files can be merged to one no problem, a little fix to updater-script and its fine, you have 2 files to flash. still wont work due to issues with updater.app check

well there is always complete reflash via dload :/
