[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stomis:
I just switched my verizon phone to straight talk. Im finding out one of the things thats saving me money is terrible customer support...

So I have an S5 SM-G900V running 4.4.2 unlocked.

So I switch to straight talk and everything is great. Same exact service as verizon for half the price. The next day I get a text that my data plan has been updated from 5 gb to 8 gb. They told me this would happen. Now when they switch my plan over they also reflashed my APN and broke my data/MMS. Get on the web google a little bit download a couple things and within an hour Ive got the APN properly working and data going just fine. Next day I try to send someone a picture via text and realize I cant receive or send MMS'. Get back on google tonight to configure the texting an APN settings and for the life of me I cant get it to work. Ive tried numerous old and new MMSC's proxies, ports, etc. I managed to get my downloading working but uploading refuses to play nice.

My APN reads as follows right now.

APN: TRACFONE.VZWENTP

MMSC: HTTP://MMS.VTEXT.COM/SERVLETS/MMS

MCC: 311

MNC: 480

APN TYPE: DEFAULT,DUN,STDHIPRI,SUPL

APN PROTOCOL: IPV4/IPV6

APN ROAMING PROTOCOL: IPV4/IPV6

BEARER: LTE

If I didnt listed the field is blank. So as a small note my wife has the same exact phone but with the next version of android and is having no issues. Her APN reads exactly the same except the MMSC is set to default, and the APN TYPE doesnt have STDHIPRI. I tried her settings not luck. Also the MMSC im currently on is not what worked for downloading so Im broken on up and download right now. I used an older tracfine address that got downloading working. This vtext address is what is listed as correct for a verizon phone everywhere on the web...

Also Id like to add I wanted to try some settings I found with different MCC and MNC numbers but if I change them it immediately deletes my APN profile...

I did also try go sms and some other recommended messaging apps and it made no difference.

Help please lol. Im getting super frustrated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stomis:
Well I just fixed it. Go figure I walk away from it for a couple hours, make a post, screw with it for 10 minutes and figure it out...

SO for anyone else on the internet with this issue here is the functioning current APN for a verizon phone on straight talk as of 8/2017

APN: TRACFONE.VZWENTP

MMSC: HTTP://MMS.VTEXT.COM/SERVLETS/MMS

MCC: 311

MNC: 480

APN TYPE: DEFAULT,MMS,SUPL

APN PROTOCOL: IPV4/IPV6

APN ROAMING PROTOCOL: IPV4/IPV6

BEARER: LTE

It was all in the stupid APN Type line. Apparently either my phones a screw ball OR perhaps newer android phones default better on certain settings that my rooted phone cant? Either way this stupid line changed worked to fix both my downloading and uploading...

How have you guys managed to keep information secure in the event of theft? Is there a good lock screen to use? Are you all using separate Google accounts (I like this idea, but Pulse syncs my texts from device right to HU)?

Is your point that since there aren't any meaningful results on this topic that nobody has a viable solution? I mean, this is a forum, no?

Right, and what's your plan to keep information safe in the meantime? If stolen, I can less about getting it back or if the thief installs a new rom. It's not about keeping it inoperable. It's about protecting information.

So, back to my original question. What are you (and others) doing to protect information? I would assume that many are using Google accounts solely for the head unit.

I can't believe there are people thinking that lock screen has no sense on a head unit.Theft apart, what about car mechanics looking through my mails, chats and so on? Probably the best and fast way would be a launcher that provide some kind of app lock

Another reason to use phone projection (aka Android Auto/Carplay) as the personally identifiable data stays on the connected phone. But that's detour from the original question, I know but just a thought.

[prjkt.io] Legitsu:
bit of rant here;

why are users still expected to manually select what version of a app they want to theme (facebook messanger,google app ect)

why is this a thing

why is stability hit or miss why do app updates break stuff so horribly why should theme resources take a decade to update them selves without a reboot
[prjkt.io] MSF Jarvis:
Users are expected to manually select app versions due to discrepancy between ROMs and partial rollouts by app devs ending up in different users having different versions available on the Play Store. Surely selecting a version from a spinner is easier for you than to be told to download a specific version from APKMirror.

App updates break themes when resources change heavily. Most properly coded apps don't break over updates unless there's major UI changes. Whatsapp and Instagram break for most themes on almost every update because they change stuff just to change it. Themers are helpless against badly coded apps, and rather than whine you should actually be glad they take time to theme AND maintain the overlay for such apps.

Theme resources don't take long to update, we ditched that in favor of direct assets with commit https://github.com/substratum/substratum/commit/536ed381f540f494700a0ab3ca5e8530f3715862 .

Hi i installed the rom and all is well but i installed that wififofum application and found it wasn't too great and so uninstalled it, Once i'd done this i went to the comm manager and the font had changed and its annoyin me a bit. Just wondering if ic an change it and if this has happened to anyone else? Thanks

Also another thing is that when i leave it for a while for example go to sleep, when i wake up the charge light is flashing green and no button will turn the screen back on, ive disabled the battery options that would normally turn it off but still does it. I all so have average battery when i turn it back on so its not that. I have slide2unlock could that be causing it?

Thanks again lol
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] wacky.banana:
Raggers,

First, take S2U2 off. It will be contributing to your problem. Secondly, simply reinstall the comm manager and you should be ok.

If you are sure that the rom you are using has the fake server tweak setup correctly (stops activesync from continuously getting in the way and locking up your phone; google on here for a more detailed explanation) and you are sure you don't have software being polled off an external SD card (will also cause lockups) then you can reinstall S2U2 with the following settings:

On battery power:

- Lock when backlight turns off: set to on

-But blank screen; set to off

- Blank screen on talk: set to off

On external power - have all settings set to off.

In the Avanced section:

- Dont suspend power: set to on

- Safe mode: set to on

- Directdraw: set to off.

These settings will stop S2U2 locking up your phone provided all the other things I referred to are sorted (just sharing my hard earned experience with you).

Let us know how you get on.

Cheers

WB

My GPS is toast. Hardware issue, not software. So I'll be sending it in on Monday for warranty replacement.

Probably too many drops onto concrete.

But reseating the GPS cable involves compromising water resistance (removing LCD screen's sealing glue) so I'm just gonna let it be Google's problem instead of mine.

So.... anyone need anything tested before I do?

You know, the kinda testing that would quite possibly hard brick Android?

Auto-Reboot/Restart/Scheduler

Root Required

I have lots of apps on my device and i am sure you do to.Most of these apps continue to run in the background even if you stop using them.

Eventually the device becomes slower, consumes more battery and needs a reboot/restart!

Why manually reboot your device when you can use "Auto Reboot/Restart" With this "Auto-Reboot" app you can set you device to automatically restart daily at any chosen time lets say 3:00am. This helps your phone to clear out its ram and start the day fresh.

Auto Reboot/Restart does require your device to be Rooted

*Lightweight Application Size

*Set Auto-Reboot/Restart Time and let the App Do The Rest

*Enjoy Much More Responsive Device

I've been on the oneplus 3 since a few months and never had this problem before. I've been on paranoid android since it came out and also never had this problem. But since yesterday my cpu has been overloading at over 95% the whole time the phone stays switched on and thus results in battery drain and overheating. I'm almost unable to use the phone at all. The only change that I have done to this phone just before this happened is update all my apps yesterday which I haven't updated in a month. I don't think this is a rom problem as it never happened till yesterday. Could this be a problem of one of the apps that got updated? Or any other solution?

Tracfone version

I'm having no luck with Kingroot. It says no root available for device.

According to 'one-click-root' website, the device has no way of rooting it.

Is there any updated information?

.

device specifics:

model: SM-S920LZAATFN

android: 5.0.2

build: LRX22G.S920LUDU1APK2

TWRP recovery method?

TWRP recovery method?

I've read that a phone may possibly be able to be rooted by using odin to download a TWRP recovery, then booting into that new recovery using hardware keys, instead of rebooting normally. And this results in a rooted phone?

I think I have seen a TWRP that may work with this phone. Any help is appreciated. I'd like to be able to update this thread to include a step by step approach to this and other versions of the same model 920.

I'll continue to post updates as I discover more information.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friimynd:
DIY time : crash course in brain surgery

Ok, so I've read a bit of stuff in the forums on the SM-S920L, mostly about the StraightTalk variant, which apparently uses the same system rom, though I'm not so sure.

At any rate, rather than just throw carp at the phone and hope it sticks, I'm going to teach myself how to do it all myself, a-z, 1,2,3... etc., starting with making stock images of the various components, for recovery purposes. Perhaps the phone can be used as a TracFone again someday, though I have no desire to do so, having already bought another for cheaper that even works better, though not as fancy, just newer.

So, I'll leave it here for now and just update the primary with new information as I discover it, starting with the extraction of the stock images, hopefully without goofing up the phone, lol.

This is an unpopular phone, at least for hackers. But it will be a good tool for expanding my knowledge.

Any help appreciated, such as, 'Is this even necessary? There are files here here and here that will do it all'.

(lol, nope... so far I've discovered there is no root option, kingroot no work, etc. There seems to be no posts with information specifically regarding the TracFone 'variant' of this model. It suggests that i can use the StraightTalk files for it, which may work, but there are many questionable unanswered problems.)
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c3p0u812:

Do you have a laptop or pc? If so I can help you out. I have the same phone. Mine is straight talk, but it's sm-s920l a tracefone just through straight talk.

Ya I got the straight talk, I have been using king root but I totally bricked and wiped my phone on purpose because I wanted to start fresh and let it update. Having a problem though I used twrp and nuked all my ****, or so I thought. I'm trying to OTA update I'm currently on 5.0.2 and it's saying I have a system update and even after I checked everything to be deleted it still says error and one of my files is modified or some**** like that. I think it's like admin.prop so **** it. I do however want to go systemless root. What do you suggest is the best root and rom for our device?

To answer op question yes your phone is the same as ours. Mine even shows tracphone on boot.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c3p0u812:
Well for our phone there is only one custom ROM and it's LineageOS 13.0 https://xdaforums.com/grand-prime/development/unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-0-galaxy-t3491494 It's android 6.0 and it can be rooted too. It's not being updated anymore for our device as far as I know. There is Lineage 14.* but not for our variant.

For systemless root you'll want to go with Magisk. https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 I had Lineage, and don't get me wrong it's worth checking out, but I downgraded back to stock and went with Magisk. You can even get Xposed throughMagisk.

If I was you, I would flash back to stock. You can go to this thread https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 and download the first two, Stock Boot and Stock Recovery. Make sure to unzip them because you need the md5 files they extract. I'd wipe everything again and then get into download mode. On your PC fire up Odin, I'm using version 3.10 http://odindownload.com/download/clean/Odin_3.10.0.zip Click BL use the stick boot md5 and then under ap use the stock recovery md5. When it reboots and you set it up do not turn reactivation lock on.

If you don't already have Magisk on your sd card get it on there and install through twrp. It will ask if you want to root. Might make a back up after. I always make backups and then transfer from sd to my pc. I can restore to like 6 different versions of my phone right now lol I'm no expert, I haven't been messing around with all this for long so I hope that all makes sense. :fingers-crossed:

Haha ya it does I just wish they didn't treat our phone like it has Ebola or some****. All kinds of **** for the other ones. I agree on the magisk because I really want to try that out.

I'm waiting on the pixel 2 XL before I upgrade. We just missing out on too much stuff. I think magisk will keep me busy in the meantime though. Thanks again man I'm Soo add once I get here on all the stuff then I wonder well will this work or this work and by then just like awwww **** it.

I can't find a specific thread on it, but you can download it from http://grandprime.ddns.net/jenkins/job/LOS_Builds/# Flash it with twrp. You will want to flash that and then flash open gapps [ARM - 7.1] and then whichever from here http://opengapps.org/ I did all that first, set it up rebooted and then installed Magisk.
