Missing "Delivery Notification" option in SMS "Message Options" - any advice anyone?

Hi David, and all here!

I've a new o2 XDA Orbit II (I think it's a HTC Polaris) and I've the same problem!

I've spent hours googling here and beyond to find an answer but to no avail. It's really taken the good out of my new acquisition!

Did you manage to resolve the problem, David, or get any clarity on why that option is no longer there?

If anyone else can help with info, a tweak, a workaround or good software that does this job I'd be very grateful if you could let me know!

Sincerest thanks,

Conor
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bava46:
A few days ago the S4 mini got hot and froze and I turned it off and turned it on again but it got stuck at the Samsung logo (for the past month it used to drain the battery quicker than normal).

I then turned it off and on again and it got stuck on the same Samsung logo screen.

When I tried to turn it on again it didn't work and hasn't worked since.

Problems:

Doesn't turn on or vibrate

It doesn't charge the battery.

Doesn't boot up in recovery mode

What I have tried so far:

I have drained the electric charge in the circuit board by holding the power button without the battery inserted

I have used another charged battery and the S4 mini doesn't turn on nor does it charge that battery. HOWEVER it completely drains a charged battery! This is really odd....

I have opened the phone and nothing seems burnt nor is the power button broken

When I connect the phone to a computer the computer pings and acknowledges a device is connected but then immediately makes the sound when a device disconnects...

I just want to get some data off the phone which was saved to the phone memory.

Any help will be appreciated.

sounds exactly like my phone, gets hot and drains the battery frequently, even if its turned off,
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bava46:
No I get no notification in device manager.

The other day I purchased a DC / AC power unit and connected the cables to the positive and negative terminals (where the battery would sit) in the hope the phone will fire up. I turned up the voltage to 10 after 5 didn't work and I smelt burning. I thought some more voltage would help....

After that the computer doesn't make that sound anymore when you connect / disconnect a USB device.

I connected the terminals to a working a phone and the phone turned on without the battery at 5v.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Questions & Answers] Nicksterrr:
Hey guys,

I had to reinstall my Note 8 yesterday, with the fact that (like many other note 8 users) my google smartlock isnt working anymore.

I had it working by accident, out of the blue the smartlock menu opened on my phone and let me choose my trusted locations.

Can`t figure out why it popped up, but it just did once without that i triggerd it.

Anyhow,i reinstalled my phone yesterday and its not working anymore so i really want it to work again.

I did some research this morning to find out which service/activity has to be opened to show the smart lock menu.

I found a that a few activities from the google play services open up parts/options from the smartlock menu, but the actual menu to select the option to add trusted places or activate the body detection.

The body detection can be activated manually if you use a activity launcher.

There has to be a way to activate/open up the menu for the smart lock settings, we only have to find it.

Anyone has an idea how we can manage it?

Any idea`s are welcome, maybe we can figure it out together.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Questions & Answers] Nicksterrr:
I found out how it works, not by opening a service or an activity but how to trigger the smartlock menu.

First of all you need to activate google smartlock as trusted agent.

Then you go to google maps and set your home location, once you did that you have to unlock your phone multiple times.

I didnt count how much times you need to unlock your phone, but its a guess around 30 a 40 times could be some more could be some less.

You have to do it in your house location, while unlocking there is some kind of counter which counts how many times you unlocked your phone in your house.

After a while when your unlocking your phone the smartlock notification will pop up and tells you that you have unlocked your phone for in the house area for a dozen times.

It will allow you to click on it and set your location as trusted place.

Also it allows you to enable body protection, trusted devices, and trusted voice.

It happend to me yesterday while using the phone for a couple of times and i had to unlock it for a couple of times.

Be carefull, when you extit the menu there is no option to get it back again.

Well, only the next morning because the phone will prompt a message that the lock has been enable for not using the phone for 4 hours.

Thats the only time after the first time that you can change your settings.

Hope you guys are helped with this information.

Trusted Places.

Been playing with this this morning in the aftermath of flashing Lineage onto a Moto G phone and Nexus 7 tablet (great ROM BTW and my first foray into phone hacking !)

Despite appearing to set up correctly I found TP didn't actually work but I think I've come up with a fix which has worked on both the above devices plus a stock Sony Xperia Z2 and my OH's Nexus so that's 4 for 4 !

1. Go to Trusted Places

2. If you've already added a place then long touch it and edit, if not touch Add Trusted Place

3. When the map pops up touch it then on the full screen place a finger anywhere and move the map around under the pin a bit then position the blue dot under the X below the pin.

4. Now touch Update and it should come back with the exact address instead of GPS coordinates.

5. Now go back to Trusted Places and touch the location and check that it's turned on

That's it, you may get a warning message the first time you unlock afterwards but beyond that a simple up swipe from the lock screen should open it.

AAAAAA

Hi,

It only gave me On Body Detection and I enabled it but it doesn't work! Is there really no way to prompt it again? It really pisses me off, no Smart Lock in setting whatever i do... I just want my Dumbphone and Dumbwatch to work together so I don't have to unlock the phone 89789 times a day. I updated the Play Store Services, turned Trusted Agent on and off, rebooted the phone 1951951 times... I've been googling this for months and no solution... It's unbelievable to me that this issues persists for years and I can bet thousands of people wrote complaints to both Google and Huawei! And the worst part is, it used to work and it just stopped and disappeared for no reason at all... I don't want to root my phone as it is still under warranty and I don't want to lose it...

Thank you for any even potential help! :) Have a great day!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigo88:
hi

i have here an I-9505 from Germany xxuhoa7. It worked just fine with Jellybean also with Lollipop a year or two ago. I had the exact same few apps installed as now, yet the phone gets slower and slower with every app update. Even after factory reset (and restore from samsung and google account). Wifi hotspots will not be saved etc. So the phone turned basically to garbage.

Installed apps are pretty much these: Facebook (DUH), Messenger, Instagram, Twitter, IMDB, Wiki, Inbox, Firefox, Chrome, Ebay, Dropbox, Moments, OneDrive, Paypal, and some basic tiny apps like notepad, ssh, Tcmd, Yaste remote. As you can see not those typical resource eaters like games or whatever needs to sync in every 3 seconds. But this doesn't matter since this was the same setup 3 years ago and the phone was faster than the speed of light.

I'm wondering a downgrade, or even simply reinstalling Lollipop with odin would do any good? I believe in full wipe and reinstall so that's what I'm looking for.

"wipe davic cache" and such built in options does not erase everything like the Greeks did with Troy.

Or does this slowing down thing mean that the internal memory is going bad? The phone gets unusually hot as well sometimes. Like I said even after factory reset so that's not really an option.

I have two batteries one is trash still using it for some reason... The phone reboots at any battery percentage total randomly.

I have basic knowledge (some would call it advanced. I wouldn't.)

There is Odin's Options tab, where I would tick Re-Partiton and Nand Erase All, because it sounds like it would burn everything to the ground.

As for reinstalling Lollipop the following files were downloaded for it:

I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7\AP_I9505XXUHOA7_CL3996895_QB3867680_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7\BL_I9505XXUHOA7_CL3996895_QB3867680_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7\CP_I9505XXUHOA7_CL3996895_QB3867680_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7\CSC_OXA_I9505OXAHOA7_CL3996895_QB3867680_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7\JFLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit

Should I just erase all with the options above and put all these files into their relevant places in Odin and do a re-firmware? (yaay a new word)

The Pit tab warns me that it's only for engeneers, and that scares me :) Ok. Not really.

With one word: can reinstall of the whole system help me with the slow/overheating issue or is it the hardware maybe the trash backed up to and restored from the gmail/samsung account?

Maybe it's just the thing that this device is simply old and one should purchase a new one bc that's the way of life now?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Not your typical resources eaters? Only the Facebook apps use about 400MB RAM together.

Facebook is pretty resource intensive in my opinion.

Anyway. Apps keep getting updated and use more and more resources, your hardware stays the same. It has a harder time coping with the new requirements.

When I first got my S4, I used to underclock the processor to 1.2GHz and the phone still ran very fast. In 2017 doing the same doing makes it slow as hell.

I don't really think there's anything you can do. You could perhaps try custom ROMs.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Facebook and Messenger are both resource hogs. Uninstall them and learn to use the browser. Speaking of which, unless you have a good reason for having both Firefox and Chrome on your device, remove Firefox as it runs very poorly on Android. The other main source of resource drain is Android itself, or more accurately, Touchwiz. If you want a device that can keep up with all the changes in apps, you want to jettison Touchwiz posthaste and move to an AOSP-based ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigo88:
Thanks for your answers, it is maybe a bit too much to ask but could you name a good working custom rom for the device in question? Maybe with a link to the instruction or direct to the download page?

cheers!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Either JDC Team's Optimized LineageOS or AOSP ROMs should be light enough for your needs. AOSP is the lightest, but isn't as feature rich as LineageOS.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigo88:
thanks for the suggestions, i try lineage now but it has got no samsung apps and account at all (obviously) which would be fine. but as soon as i try to install i.e. samsung health and launch it the phone says "can't set up app no sim card has been inserted insert a sim card and try again"

and i'm sitting here like "wut!?" i mean what has got a sim card to do with an application on a smartphone? :)

(no, i don't have a sim card)

tbh i have reinstalled the lollipop completely with odin and the files above and it was.. well faster. so i'll give it a try allthough android 7.1.2 seems pretty cool and fast with only the nano gapps installed.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Neither ROM I recommended has Samsung apps. Samsung apps require Touchwiz, which slows down the phone. There are far better alternatives to the Samsung apps on the Play Store in any event.

Hello All,

I got my Note 8 the other day and want to get some apps disabled. I got Package Disabler working just fine, but want to know what people are freezing on their devices.

I know on my S8+ I froze a TON of apps and processes, but on the Note 8, I want to keep a few functions such as samsung pay/android paid, bixby and perhaps a few more, but just wanted to see who's doing what.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] utkarsh agarwal:
I have a Redmi Note 4 , unrooted, running stock MIUI 8.5.4.0 . I'm having two issues lately , which I've observed for a week now and now finally posting it after failed attempts to fix the issue.

The alarm doesn't ring. There is no issue with the settings. It rings if i test it by setting an alarm for say,1 minute from the current time but it doesn't seem to ring when it's supposed to , for example morning alarm. I don't have any optimizers that would prevent alarm from ringing ( if something like that happens) . It once rang 8 minutes after the set time though.

I'm also having battery drain issues. Losing 20-25% overnight . "Android System" is at the top of battery use . I tried figuring out the reason behind this by using "Better Battery Stats" ( granted permission BATTERY_STATS through adb ) and "deviceidle_maint" is at the top always under the partial wakelocks .

These issues started happening suddenly. I didn't change any settings from the time when it was working fine.

I've already tried doing a factory reset and clearing cache . Tried draining the battery completely and fully charging it in a switched off state ( as it helped me with a similar battery issue on some other device) .

Please help.

I know that stock MIUI 8.5.x.x has various problems and users at MIUI official forums aren't happy of this.

I suggest to check there for any solution if available, but maybe your best move is downgrading to 8.2 or upgrading to the developer version (that will become stable in the next weeks). Or using a custom ROM, like LineageOS or the MIUI from Xiaomi.eu

According to the Verizon Galaxy S5 Update Page:

Stock No-Wipe Firmware:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] enmanuel255:
This update prevent downgrading for older builds?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
I doubt it since the only time that really happens is when the number in the bootloader is increased.

For example, the first time the VZW S5 was updated to prevent downgrading was when the firmware version went from G900VVRU1BOD5 to G900VVRU2BOE1.

The VRU1 and VRU2 are the bootloader versions. Once updated to VRU2/VRS2, you can't go back to VRU1. For some reason they keep changing back and forth from VRU2 to VRS2 at random times. The past few updates have either been VRU2 or VRS2 but you can still go all the way back to the first firmware with VRU2.

TLDR; Since this firmware is using the VRU2 bootloader, it is very unlikely that it will prevent downgrading.

On a side note, this is the longest that it has taken for the complete Odin firmware to be uploaded to Samsung's servers. The update was out the 13th. Normally it takes 3 days for it to be available on their servers and it still isn't. I even tried using the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant and both of my S5's say they are up to date on QF2.

:rolleyes:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
Yep I literally just saw that it was. I checked at 12:30am EST and it wasn't.

Lost Hotspot Functionality

Once I flashed this update I lost the ability to bypass Verizon's check to use the hotspot functionality. Now it keeps checking my account and wanting me to pay for the service. Is there anyway I can get around this again, as I was able to with basic root?

I did flash the Developer Bootloader Friendly version using FlashFire.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] bbsc:
In addition to my previous post.

Ok, I've been experimenting for a few days with two units of SM-G900V and two pairs of Samsung Level Active wireless earbuds.

I was walking in the same places and listening the same music in the same conditions with different earbuds and different phones, having different (DQF2 and DQH2) firmware (kernel, modem, recovery). In all cases the phones were loaded with the same /system ROM - stock-near ALEXNDR.G900FXXS1CQH1

My conclusion is: DQH2 keeps bluetooth connection much worse than DQF2.

I cannot say that we have a crystal-clear sound in one case and a crappy stuttering in the other.

But the difference is noticeable and obvious.

That's why I personally am reverting back to DQF2 firmware.

If i unlocked my bootloader on PB1 firmware, will I have issues flashing this firmware?

Or did I misinterpret the necessity of updating the bootloader to match the firmware? Is that even an actual problem if they don't match?

Nobody knows the exact answer except Samsung itself.

In most cases it works.

But this bootloader can be unlocked in the same way as the others if you have CID15.
