he said BK disabler works
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jackdforme:
Thanks. I wish this worked as I hate bloat.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jellyhead:
Just tried Bk Package Disabler and it was able to disable both system update apps. This was my top concern because I do this with every new phone in hopes that there is a root exploit out of the gate. Once you update you may lose your chance at any root methods as the first updates very often are to patch security holes

BK Works

I had to use BK package disabler and didn't have any problems installing or disabling apps.

I'm going to make a run at adb to set the device owner instead. Let you know how it all goes.

Ok I bought BK. Works, I took out 91 packages, sound about right?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MACHEK:
Lol, you said not in my blood to buy but then you bought haha! I buy occasional things but use Google survey so I earn money using that and don't actually spend "real" money
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jackdforme:
yeah cause I tried to ADB shell the script to enable device ownership and it didn't work. I gave up because the battery loss I saw this AM on my commute was a good 5% more than my s8+ with debloat. Needed to stop the blood flow.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] JameyS:
Disabling System updates is the first thing I want to do. What apps did you disable to achieve this for the Note 8?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] lennie:
can't you do that in developer options and just disable automatic system updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] JameyS:
AT&T found a way to force update regaurdless... So, after using package disable, I never had to worry.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jellyhead:
there's 2 system update items under the system tab, I disabled them both. after the Note 7 experience I know that this may not be enough. The updates were re-enabled and I had to use Titanium Backup to keep them disabled. Without root the non-root apps will have to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MACHEK:
Wow, I'm with you. Bought this last night, and did it with my note 3, now I don't even need the note 8 anymore haha (not really, note 3 screen keeps blacking out for no apparent reason). Either way this is such a good app, sorry that I have missed this for so long. Would have come in handy long ago.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rbeavers:
Haven't tried it, just know I keep hitting the button and have to back out of it. Annoying!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] HeRe4oNeReAsoN:
First off, I've only disable the the dt ignite, system updates, Verizon apps, and stuff I've installed. I'm a "free ram junkie" so I keep stuff disabled until I use it. I was on PDP for a year or so, stopped taking updates about v.7.8(?). Of course PDP doesn't work so I picked up BK. Instantly fell in love! Love the widgets you can make to turn groups of apps on/off! With the little I have disabled I have like 2.4-2.8g free! I'm going to disable a bunch of junk tomorrow, but I'm curious as to how much free ram everyone else has?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MACHEK:
I'm at 1.8g free in the past 3 hours. Is there a way to see live rather then an average? What did you remove? Do you have a list?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usmaak:
Yea. Not sure what made them think that putting it on a button was such a good idea. I noticed that it is pretty much opposite the power button, which means lots of accidental presses. I don't talk to my phone, and I certainly don't need an inconvenient button that tries to force me to. As soon as someone finds a good way to shut it off, I'm taking it.

I've used PDP on my unrooted Note 4 and it's been great for handling the massive bloatwarefest that is the Note 4. Too bad that it's not yet updated for Nougat. Perhaps it will be soon. The author of it is certainly missing out on sales by not getting it updated in time.

BK Package Disabler works
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Utahraptorandroid:
It works now

Seems PDP works now, it was updated recently
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] borijess:
Go ing to try this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] disturbd1:
FWIW - I just picked up the phone yesterday and initially PDP wouldn't activate. It was due to SmartSwitch installing and when I uninstalled/reinstalled PD and the PDP Engine, it activated just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usersony:
PDP Works - Must download PDP Engine from their website

On my Note 5 and now on my Note 8 PDP didn't work and wants you to install PDP Engine, but the Play Store apk doesnt function. You have to go to their website and download PDP Engine for it to function properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iakovl:

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Macrint:
Hi guys, new proud owner here since today :) Hoping that we get root soon!

I noticed that the system updates seem mandatory and I can't find a way to disable them. Is it possible to downgrade to an earlier system version in case of stability issues or for future root reasons?

I searched but couldn't find an answer. Thanks in advance!

Edit: Sorry I just realized I posted in the wrong section. I'm blaming the worthless new tapatalk app :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] FartyParty:
You can already get root via unlocking bootloader. If you want root without it I think you can forget it.

All previous models require bootloader unlocked and XZP is no different.

You can downgrade and upgrade as you please, but if you wonder if you can go to Marshmallow then the answer is no.

Only XZ had Marshmallow, XZs launched with Nougat and so did XZP.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Macrint:
Awesome thanks! Time to upgrade and factory reset then before I set everything up.

Edit: I realize there is root, but from what I understand there's the drm issue, so no root with active noise cancelling etc?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] FartyParty:
There's some features that gets disabled when drm keys gets lost yea, the camera for example but I use Snap Camera which in my opinion is superior to Sony camera.

It can take pics in full resolution and have tons of settings. Of course, a drm fix would be optimal but I'm superhappy with root.

As for audio, I couldn't hear any difference between unlocked and locked but then again I use viper4 audio mod via magisk.

I love it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Ahmed Sarhan:
Hi, I have nexus 2013 with Android 6.0.1, since this update and issue came all along and I don't know why!

My WiFi, is intermittent, it disconnects and reconnects all the time

All my other sensors are not working anymore, like auto rotation and gyro

screen sometimes is not being responsive, unless I turn it off couple of times

is it a software issue or my unit is dud? it used to work perfectly for couple of years though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] metalXcore:
Yup same here!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] doczenith1:
Ditto on the rotation working intermittently. Works for a minute after restarting then stops working until I reboot. My wifi is solid though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] FistFull95:
I am having the exact same issues as OP, doesn't matter which rom/stock.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Ghoul159:
I'm in the same situation but I'm not using stock rom. I'm using a custom RR Nougat Rom for almost 2 years, everything was working nice until this happened. WIFI either stops entirely stops working or works intermittently, and auto rotate doesn't work. I downloaded a sensors app from play store to see if they were actually working or not, to my surprise it says no sensors detected. I panicked and did a hard reset, and then it stucks at bootloop (can't get past the four dots, may be the ROM can't find sensors). Flashed countless custom ROMS, stock rom (6.1, 5.0), but still no dice. But then when I was about to give up, I thought I would give the stock rom 4.3 a final try and magically, my nexus successfully boots up with all the sensors working perfectly. Then I re flashed the custom rom back to my device in which all the sensors are working fine (ORIENTATION, GYRO...).

So may be go back to STOCK ROM 4.3 and then see if the problem persists. I see a lot of 6.0 people are facing these issues.

Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mifologic:
so.. does my software version have to be the same as the rom i am installing?

my software version is G920PVPU4DQG4

android version 7.0

also, i just rooted my phone, can i still install a rom over that?

please help

thanks in advance guys, really appreciate it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
As I replied in the other thread, this would be your best bet for a stable ROM with good battery life: https://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/development/rom-tdh-jr-rom-t3550677

The QG4 software is just a minor security update different. There is one every month.

For rooting, we are all using Magisk. The advantages are that Magisk supports mods (this ROM uses that system to enable Synapse for longer battery) and that many applications won't detect that you are rooted. Magisk lets me use Android Pay, as an example. After install, the Magisk Manager will let you update to Magisk 14, which just came out.

Mismanagement? For me my Kate device is always quick enough. Or do you expect 2,6gb free ram of it's 3gb total? Then you misunderstood the usage of ram. Also It was cheap back in the days (bought it from China for approx. 150$) and I'm using it now almost for a year.. it only has 3gb of ram. I believe you have very high Expactions for this cheap device. :D I never regret that I bought it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obdz:
Hi,

I hope I can find help here. So I was using my original battery since first I got my note 2, i.e. since 4 years ago. It got really bad by time and it did not last long.

So 4 days ago I went and I bought new battery from a local mobile store. However there is a problem with this new battery. It goes down to zero suddenly when under 50%.

I attached a picture of the problem.

Is the problem with my phone or with the battery? Should I return it or not? How can I know that the battery is original?

Thank you.

Hi,

my A2017G (B05 Nougat) doesnt boot with Magisk v13.4 or above. I tried beta versions and also the brandnew v14. The bootanimation is stuttering but thats all.

Im using 13.3 and Manager v5.3.0, which is working so far.

I cant deinstall systemapps. 'reboot disemmcwp' has no effect. I think its because of magisk. With SuperSu i can deinstall systemapps. But i use some modules with magisk so i want stay with magisk, but it seems not working properly. Can someone confirm this issues?

Where's the problem?

Any ideas?

Hi,

i think i found the problem. If i flash xposed (systemless v87 sdk25 by PurifyOS), my phone cant boot up.

So i have to wait and use magisk 13.3, until xposed get an update, to work with magisk 13.4 and versions above.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] tychsy89:
I searched around but couldn't find any discussion about the hardware differences between the models. I recently broke the screen on my tablet and don't really want to send it in to Samsung for a repair.

Does anyone know if the screen dimensions are the same between the T587P and the more widely used T580P, I get that the firmware is not the same, but how about some of the hardware?

Thanks in advance to whomever can shed some light.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Beut:
All the LTE versions have the same hardware, the difference is only firmware customized for a particular provider and logo on the back cover.

You can even install a Wifi mainboard to a LTE tablet because the extra parts on LTE are only SIM slot and antenna for cellular signal.

So basically you can downgrade any Samsung LTE tablet to a Wifi version just by swapping mainboard, the other parts almost identical.

Don't ever send a tablet to Samsung for screen replacement because the cost is more than buying another tablet: around $220.

I have a Sprint Galaxy S6 (SM-G920P) which has been unlocked domestically and internationally. I currently use Total Wireless (a Verizon MVNO) and my Verizon SIM card works fine in the unlocked Sprint Galaxy S6, though it displays the ROAMING symbol all the time when it is on the Verizon SIM.

I'd like to flash the SM-G920V firmware (Verizon) on to the S6 phone so that it will be Verizon native. Will this work?

I have done the same thing using ODIN on a Galaxy S7 and it worked flawlessly. I have read that all Galaxy S7s are all the same, just each has firmware than unlocks different radios. Is that also true for the S6?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] gimmeitorilltell:
If your device has been UICC unlocked then all the radios should work. The Sprint S6 is a "Global" device. I am running mine with a GSM sim card without issue. Flashing anything to a sprint device that isn't made for sprint usually will brick your device if it flashes.If you do some research you will find how to remove that annoying roaming indicator. I know I've seen something about this in the HTC One section before. By the way are you getting LTE with your verizon card installed?

This was an experiment that shows the flash mechanism of the camera is not working properly.
