Future update

i mean if i deleted those file, my software still official?

am i still getting update from sony in the future?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] baudbox:
Regarding your question, yes you'll still get sony updates. For some for which name contains "sony", regarding the list, it worth to check what it does (ie. com.google.android.gm = gmail, so if you use gmail, you should keep it).
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] JesperE:
Smart move to disable the apps to have something to find them by in adb! :good:

I do wonder however, why would you use the -k option to pm uninstall? Isn't that to preserve app data and cache? Is there any danger in removing it all, ie without -k (hope not, I recently did that for both my and my wife's phones... :rolleyes:)?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] budiii:
is there any way to reinstall this packages? i see you're using -k to preserve the app data. i uninstalled something i just realised i needed.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] switcher:
by resetting the device
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] budiii:
did exactly that. and it worked.

hate to redo all the setup process, so others please be aware.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
In my efforts to troubleshoot battery drain, I found that "Advanced Logging" was using a lot of my battery. A quick Google search shows that it's part of the Support app and involved in sending usage data (which I have unchecked and declined consent in the Support app): https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XZ/Advanced-Logging-Spyware/td-p/1180249

Can this safely be disabled via ADB? Any idea what the package name is? For now I've just Greenified it and will see if that helps.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
To save data all you do is flash the system, you'll still have to disable apps and stuff but won't have to start from scratch like you do when you do a full wipe.

I have done with no issues, - pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.support
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] shaftenberg:
com.sonymobile.advancedlogging

No need to freeze the support app then. Please give feedback if it works.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
The ADB command was successful but it doesn't seem to have solved my wakelock problem. Still, even with the setting for usage stats off and consent declined in the Support app, the Advanced Logging app was reported as using data and battery in the background, so good riddance!

Edit: System Update force closes after doing this and upgrading to .8.49. I'm not sure which one of those actions caused the problem, but reflashing my firmware minus userdata did not fix it, so I'm thinking it's possibly due to removing Advanced Logging.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
I think I screwed something up along the way, because System Update now force closes whenever I try to open it. So I tried to reflash just the system, but it didn't restore the apps I had disabled either in settings or via ADB. I followed by reflashing everything excluding userdata, but again had the same result. It sounds like a factory reset would be the only way to restore these apps. Unless you know of another way?

Edit: Never mind. I found an apk of Advanced Logging on apkmirror and reinstalling it did not solve my problem. I guess I'm factory resetting yet again...

I have noticed that Software Update my ZX1 keeps wanting to install Booking.Com app.

I tried to get rid of this update by installing, clearing out all the data then de-installing it.

Immediately the install request comes back as an Application Update.

Any ideas how to get rid of this?? Is it one of Sony's bloatware apps wanting to install it and if so which one so I can clear it out?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Sony wouldn't be pushing Booking.com, neither would a phone provider. Sounds dodgy.

I've not idea what the package is called, but you should be able to uninstall it.

The instructions are on the head of this op, but just:

adb shell

pm list packages ?

Then look for something ending in booking.com

pm uninstall --user 0 "packagenamegoeshere"

reboot
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] gdlm00:
Thanks Didgesteve

Followed instructions - the app in list packages is com.booking should anyone else be looking for it.

Did the uninstall and it was successful.

However when I did reboot the Booking.com app is there again in the Application Updates tab in Software Update.

It showed up after I updated phone to 47.1.A.12.34 yesterday

When I looked at the details of the App it does not permit Force Stop and says that under the Store/App details that App was installed by Software Update

Now I know it would seem unlikely that Sony have added this app as bloatware but a search around Android forums did say that it was bloatware on a Samsung a couple of years ago.

More curious each time I look at it.

Maybe Sony did add the package as part of the 47.1.A.12.34 update after all in the package description displayed when you long click on the update it says "Book hotels .... and more on your Sony Xperia with Booking.com" so that's a bit of a giveway as to it being installed as Sony bloatware.

I'm not going to install it but puzzled why I cannot get rid of the request to install it.

Cheers
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] mhaha:
That booking app is indeed offered by Sony, obviously Sony entered an agreement with booking to push their app.

Just ignore it.

My phone doesn't nag me to install it, what kind of requests are you getting?

I've disabled auto download and update, and may have blocked permission to show notifications.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Dany XP:
This. And I want to add: booking was available in software update even a few days BEFORE the .34 update. I simply ignore it...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] gdlm00:
I am ignoring it and I don't get nagged to install it, it just appears on the System Update under an Application tab.

Thx to all that responded.

So I recently bought an S7 and was happy with it, until I got hit with an FRP lock that wouldn't let me boot. So I flashed the stock ROM from sammobile, this fixed the boot problem but now I can't use my phone to call or text, I can only use wi-fi, I have "emergency calls only" displayed where the network should be... I have tried reflashing the ROM several times, different modems and no luck, I also tried smartswitch which also didn't help. I have no clue what to do now. :crying: all similar threads about this are old. Someone pls help me.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] [D4v3|R4v3]:
Hey guys and girls!

This morning my phone turned off by itself (13% battery left) and needed somewhat longer than usual to reboot (in the meantime I plugged it back in to the charger). First thing I noticed was that my whole theme got reset as well as it started showing me introductional tips ("long press here to move your apps to the homescreen, ecc.). It also started to update apps in the Play Store even though I set it to manual ... so basically a LOT of things were reset.

The biggest problem I'm having now is though that all my files (pictures, videos, music) that are stored on an external micro SD card are corrupt. It's not possible anymore to open anything. I already removed the micro SD card and put it into an adapter to have a look at the files via the laptop. But nothing, even though the sizes of the files seem OK, I can't open them.

Does anyone have a clue as to what exactly happened here? Are those files lost (at least of some I have a backup) or is there anything I can do to "repair" them? Help is really appreciated, thanks!

PS: Things like the card unmounting and re-mounting never occurred. So I can't tell if the card was dying or if actually the phone ruined my files.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jaredkzr:
Did you happen to be using a SanDisk SD Card? I've had my 10 brick 2 of those until I switched to Samsung SD Cards about a year ago and haven't had issues since.

I never could manage to recover files from the damaged SD cards.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] ToffieBoi:
I have a Samsung SD card and had something similar.

I guess I was on Viper Rom and basically my phone restarted around 15-20% of battery. After a long wait for booting back again, all my settings were gone.

Files and others in the SD card was okay but basically until I formatted the card, I wasn't able to boot into the Download Mode to install a new rom...

I fixed the restart issue by installing the official HTC Rom.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] [D4v3|R4v3]:
Thanks for your replies.

It is indeed a SanDisk 16GB card. It seems though that the card is still working (no problems accessing it via phone or laptop), just the files appear to be broken. In the meantime I also tried apps like PC Inspector File Recovery, but to no success :(

I'm still on stock HTC Sense by the way, no root, nothing.

Anyone know though why that happened (resetting everything, etc.)?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] sutobe:
Hit me with a PM I'll give you a SanDisk restore tool which works quite ok. there is a huge chance some files can be recovered, some will be damaged though. Don't push any new files on the card after you tried to restore the files

HTC 10-Corrupted microSD card

I know this is an older thread, but I was wondering if there is a solution. I have an HTC 10 which has an micro SD card in it, that is "married" to the phone. When connected to a computer, the computer recognizes the phone, and the microSD card, and begins to load the folders/files. Eventually this process stalls, and the phone/drive is no longer readable by the computer. To get the computer to recognize the phone/card again, I need to restart the phone, but the same thing happens again.

I have like 20gigs of data on the card, and cannot just put the card in a reader, because it's encrypted to the phone. Any possible solutions? It's frustrating to see the files/pictures for a minute or two, and then have them disappear. I have tried copying/pasting the files while they're visible, but this often triggers the computer to no longer recognize the phone/memory card. I've tried to un-encrypt the microSD card, but the phone can't recognize/access the microSD card long enough to complete that process.

Please help if you can.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] mrcasty:
Hi,

I just tried to root my A3 2017 DUOS model using TWRP and superSU 2.79.

After I installed superSU, TWRP prompted me to activate ROOT which I accepted and rebooted the system to find the "Integrity Verification Failed" screen.

So I reinstalled the SM-A320F stock recovery (I couldn't find the SM-A320F/DS one) and I managed to recover the system, but there is a number of components that stopped working. So far:

- Camera

- Flashlight

- Brightness control

The recovery I have currently installed is:

MMB29K.A320FXXU1APLD

Every time I enter the recovery screen I get this error:

"dm-verity verification failed..."

Any comment on what could have happened or how I could improve the current status of the smartphone is welcome :)
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] fahric74:
Try it factory reset in recovery!
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] mrcasty:
The status I described was after the factory reset in recovery, and even the recovery mode tells something is going wrong because of the "dm-verity verification failed" message.

Nevertheless I tried a second factory reset with the same result.

I also tried recovering with Smart Switch but it does not recognise the model SM-A320F/DS. It only acknowledges if I write "SM-A320F" but, when I write the serial number, it says it does not belong to a SM-A320F model.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] ashyx:
Quite simply you have installed the incorrect firmware.

Regardless of whether it is stock or not it will fail integrity checks as the hash of the firmware is incorrect.

You need the correct firmware.

You could have saved yourself all the hassle if you'd have simply used TWRP for its main function, to create a full device backup BEFORE attempting to flash ANY modifications
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] mrcasty:
Thank for your anwser, but I don't understand it very well. I only installed TWRP and superSU.

Which one of those shouldn't I have installed? If it was TWRP, I screwed it before I could use it to backup anything.

And isn't superSU generic enough to make the difference between SM-A320F and SM-A320F/DS irrelevant?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] ashyx:
The stock recovery you installed is not for your device. Yes it will install as its stock, but it will fail integrity checks.

You need to install the correct firmware for your device.

However Installing supersu should bypass dmverity.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] Mr DP:
This sounds a dumb question but I cannot find any call settings on my wileyfox swift 2 phone. Ultimately all I want to do is to get it to divert callers to my (giffgaff and already set up) voicemail if I don't answer or am out of zone (all the time if at home); but it's not doing that - I think it just rings and rings and rings. It took me a while to work out why I hadn't got any voicemail messages for the last 2 months! I can't seem to find any settings that are even remotely relevant in the settings menu and in the phone app itself there isn't even a menu (just icons for history; dialing; people/contacts). The phone says "true caller" at the top which appears to be an app that I don't particularly understand or want, though this is probably nothing to do with the immediate issue if anyone knows how to disable this then that might be welcome

To enable your voicemail open the Truecaller app > tap the three stripes in the left top corner > go to settings > got to phone settings > go to calling accounts > tap your sim provider at the top > go to voicemail

[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] out386:
Nothing can be done. That's a common issue with sprout, the EMMC gets damaged, and the phone doesn't boot. Then you SP Flash it, and that completely corrupts the EMMC. It happened to mine, too. Only way to fix it is to replace the EMMC and program it, but few places can do that. Get a new phone.

Thing is, if you hadn't SP Flash'd it, you could actually still boot it by writing the ROM to the SD Card. Performance would have been reduced, but it'd still work. Now, can't do anything.

[Wing, P4350 General] blaxkinned:
Hello, I was just curious as to if there is a way to surf the web on your T-wing without the 19.99 data plan. I used to have the Tmobile Web on my tweaked Nokia 5300, and Sony Ericcson w600i and I accessed some site pretty well using OperaMini. I had desktop views of myspace and other websites.

I was also able to use my phone a modem when I was away from home (by re-configuring my browser).

Wondering if there is a way to configure the wing to use the same access ports as those other phones, rather than pay a whooping 19.99 for total internet plan, when my home cable internet is only $29.99.

Any help.....mods please delete this thread if it violates the rules.
[Wing, P4350 General] Audiopro:
I don't believe so...

Around last July, TMo began to upgrade their security and block the t-zones access for 3rd party apps. By September, even the $5.99 plan wouldn't allow Opera Mini or Google Maps to work. Even port scanning voicestream.com from my computer came back blocked. I eventually broke down and got the $19.99 plan. I just cut my minutes back, and text and Skype over EDGE to make up the difference. The Total Internet plan used to be $29.99 so it could be worse, I guess. Do those settings still work on you Nokia? If they do, what are they and I will test them. All the ports under 216.155.165.050 have been blocked in markets that have been upgraded to EDGE.
[Wing, P4350 General] blaxkinned:
I strongly disagree because up until the end of Jan 08, I still accessed most websites with my nokia 5300 just having the 5.99 tmobile web feature. Of course, T-MObile sold the phone to me and locked access to/with third party software. I called them for support, and they would not help. They asked me to call Nokia. I called Nokia and they told me to call me phone company. So I said, F--k it!!!

And I went the hacking route. And Lo!!! I could access the internet. And that's what I'm looking for with the wing right now. I talked to a tech guy with T-Mobile and he wouldn't tell me much, but from what he told me, it seems the data plan is just a scam.....an excuse to give you the same thing for more money just cause you have a more expensive and "more capable" phone.

We'll see...
