[General Questions and Answers] TraderJack:
So, let me explain the problem I had as context for my question.

I have a HTC M8 from Verizon that is totally unlocked (bootloader, SIM, etc) and rooted. I am running a recent version of LineageOS

My wife has a Samsung Galaxy S5 from Verizon that is rooted. She is running the latest available stock firmware from Verizon (with some bloat removed).

On the Verizon network with our Verizon SIM cards neither of us could edit APN settings.

We have been off contract for a while and just switched to Total Wireless.

I had 0 issues with my phone as the proper APN for Total Wireless was obviously loaded properly into my phone when I put in their SIM.

My wife OTOH was not able to get any internet access and upon examining her settings I noticed she lacked the newer TRACFONE.VZWENTP APN that my phone had.

I was not however able to edit her APN settings.

From everything I was finding online it seemed that the phone was clearly unlocked since the TW SIM worked to make/receive phone calls. Also it appeared people were stating that the presence of an APN is a function of the SIM and that if the APN wasn't there or I couldn't add it, then the SIM was the problem.

In the end I was able to install build.prop editor and make the following changes:

ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL

This allowed me to add an APN. I copied the settings from my HTC *exactly* (triple checked) and still no Internet.

Finally I chose the option "Reset to default" and it appeared that it deleted the APN I added and added another TRACFONE.VZWENTP that was just slightly different then what I had on my phone (it set the "Bearer" option to 'LTE' instead of 'unspecified'). Everything then worked.

This experience leaves me to believe the following:

1) The ability to edit the APNs is a function of the ROM, not the SIM, since I was able to edit with build.prop and then make the change.

If this is the case however, why would a custom ROM like LineageOS not have this unlocked by default???

2) The APN is actually stored in the SIM card.

This must be the case because when I "Reset to default" there was nowhere that it could have gotten these changed settings from other than the SIM card as it was unable to even reach out to the internet at the time (wifi was off).

This was all just such a hassle and there are hundreds of posts out there about people in similar situation who state they can't access their APN settings.

If my wife's phone wasn't rooted I would not have been able to use build.prop editor to make the APN editable and then I would never have been able to get internet. What could I have done in that situation?

Again - my issue was resolved, but I am trying to understand specifically how these things are controlled and unlocked - especially for someone who doesn't have root access to their phone.
[General Questions and Answers] TraderJack:
Oh - I just wanted to add that I worked with Total Wireless over chat for close to an hour while I was researching this on my own.

I helped them out from the beginning by telling them that I thought the APN was the issue and the block head kept telling me that I needed to edit my APN settings.

When I continued to tell him they were greyed out and I couldn't do it he just kept repeating as if they have never experienced this before and there *must* be a way for me to edit my APN settings.

I haven't had a build on my HTC or my wife's G5 that I can remember where I have ever been able to edit them manually, so I would expect that grayed out APN settings are pretty standard. Ofc I may have had a total moron over chat (likely), but he seemed to be consulting either their internal KB or another associate - so the fact that it was so difficult for them to figure this out (in fact they never did, I did) and they never would likely have if my phone wasn't rooted is very perplexing to me as to the root problem.

Hi all

I've had this bizarre issue on my phone where on the drop down notification bar, it says the Download Manager is downloading... It will be a strangely named document.. The last one was Skepticism and something or other... If I click on it nothing happens, I don't know what app is downloading it.. I have not downloaded anything and all I can do is cancel it if I'm quick enough.

I can't find any info on this issue on Google and I'm worried it's a virus... But again, I'm unable to establish where on earth it's coming from.

It happens occasionally (ie not every day) once I'm connected to the Internet.

Has anyone else experienced this and are there any solutions!?

Many thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] robhug:
Hi, first use this site www.virustotal.com , this is an online virus analyzer that use more than 60 anti virus to scan the file (everything online) and gives you info about it, where it comes from etc , use this to be sure your mystery file is clean (I use this site very often it is just wonderful)

And then you are using a 3rd party download manager app? If you are be sure it is a reputable app and with my personal experience I have used a lot and the best one is by far ADM (advanced download manager), and if you know the download comes from the 3rd party download manager try to delete data of this app or if it comes from a browser you can see from which site this thing is downloading.

But if you still have this issue I can advise that;

Uninstall the kind of useless and dangerous apps like clean master, any """battery saver""" apps or flashlight apps that only display ads, use ram and battery and have very suspicious permissions and you have all those features built in.

Next do some spring cleaning, uninstall apps you aren't using and check the permissions settings to see if there is some suspect things, like a flashlight app that can access your contacts, sms, storage and location for example, you get the point

I hope it will be resolved, and you will see this website is great and will gives you infos about your file :) have a nice day

Hello,

I have a question and favour to ask for. Recently there had been an update for Android 7 in my mobile (Android is original, bought from Vodafone NED90M/G925FXXS5ERBC). I had pressed to carry out update now. After the update my mobile did not start again, it only shows Samsung logo which flashes as well as the diode is flashing green blue. I had downloaded Rom from sammobile , however I cannot install it as it shows Error

When I plug in the charger there is blue background showing with message “installing system update”, and after an exclamation mark in a triangle is showing with message “No Command”, and the phone goes into Android Recovery mode. I had tried few different Roms from the sammobile, but for all of them there is same error message. I had done Wipe data and factory reset, wipe casche partition and still nothing. Anyone able to help me and give some advice.

Many thanks

[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
*I spoke too soon, perhaps! See here: https://xdaforums.com/nook-touch/development/nst-g-updating-ntgappsattack-t3875957 for a new approach to GApps with working sync--but Google Books is dead.*

I've recently received a second NST and decided to start some tests which I didn't want to mess up my regular device doing.

My first item is GApps. UNLESS you absolutely MUST have Google Books (1.2.2 is the only working version w/sync--but no purchase ability), there is no need to install GApps. All of my apps which will run on the NST are perfectly happy without GApps, including many whose current versions (like MX Player and the NPR app) balk at running without GFS (Google Framework Services) on newer devices. I guess the old versions just predate all that.

----------------------------------------------

Edit: I've come across an exception: Tasker

and

any apps generated from Tasker/App Factory (that includes my own USB one-touch toggles, Current Bookcover Screensaver, and Screenshot). It turns out that Tasker and its daughter apps have a built in dependency on two Google Maps library files. You don't get these by installing Maps (tried that...). Instead they are a part of GApps installation. But you can place these two files yourself to solve this issue (attached below--the xml file is zipped so you can actually download it instead of view it). Copy the files into these locations (you will need to mount /system as RW temporarily):

/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml

/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar

Set permissions for both files to rw-r--r-- and reboot.

----------------------------------------------

NONE of the apps in the GApps install package work any longer except for the rudimentary sync/account files that are needed for Google Books, and those must be set via GMail (which otherwise does not work). OK, Calculator works :) But you don't need GApps to run it. You also cannot sign in to Google or access the Market any more with the apps in the package. But installing GApps will clog your system with a bunch of apps churning away in the background, eating up your battery.

Realistically there is not much in the PlayStore for our devices and most useful apps need to be found elsewhere and sideloaded. However, if you have your heart set on PlayStore access, I recommend the Yalp Store (FDroid). It works well on the NST (I just used it to install MX Player), but you do have to update it from time to time when Google has made some sort of api change, and you cannot purchase apps this way.

Disclaimer: my test of apps is not exhaustive, of course. You may have the exception to my proposed rule. But I doubt it.
[Nook Touch General] velayo:
You are right, wish there was an easy way of returning back to stock. I lost my backup.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
The easiest way is to use the Factory restore option of Nook Manager. That will trigger a reimage with whatever the device left the factory. On my recent acquisition that was 1.0.0! You can use the 1.2.1 update zip from the B&N website to get back to current ( barring the 1.2.2 update which I think is pushing out early Pacific Time on weekends--still have to check that).
[General Topics] NiteStalker:
I was searching the forum, and couldn't find anything, was wondering if an app exists to periodically check the bluetooth radio?

What I had in mind would look to see if there is an active connection (i.e. headset) at specified intervals, and if not it would turn off the bluetooth radio to help save battery.

If this app exists, please point in the right direction, thanks :)
[General Topics] NiteStalker:
Nothing yet?
[General Topics] juergen0815:
I'm looking for such en application too.

But the perfect way to save BT-Power would be this:

- BT ist turned off

- the App switches BT on and searches for paired Devices(free Interval, different Intervals for different times of the day/week i.e. every Morning(7-7:30) on workdays BT-Search-Interval is 1 Minute)

- If a paired device is found you can select per device if Bluetooth stay on or switches back off (i.e. Car-Hands-free: stays on, Home-PC: switches off)

- If a paired Device disapears the app will switch BT off

- If Bluetooth is switched on manually the App won't change this state

And of course it has to work with both BT-Stacks (Broadcomm/Widcomm and M$)

Evidently the low (20 Ohms) impedance Audeze LCD-X headphones did not hinder engagement of the ESS DAC?

The high-rez (e.g. MQA) vs. CD-quality question always brings up two things:

1. How much of the perceived quality improvement of high-rez is due to the high-rez itself, and how much is due to better production polish applied prior to final product?

2. The relatively few offerings and high price of high-rez content. (This article finds 4000 total MQA albums, the sum of several sources.)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfsbane58:
"Musically speaking, the LG V30 phone doesn't qualify as merely smart; LG's implementation of its Hi-Fi Quad DAC is a work of genius. Now, if only Apple could see the light and release a similar product."

The irony is that when Apple started with the mobile device business, MUSIC... was a big motivator for the company to start that venture. That was when Jobs was the moving force and guiding direction of the company. After he passed, the company started to take a radical turn away from the things that made them successful for short and long term sustainability. Now, its all about the short term gains for investors, at the expense of long term sustainability. As a consequence, Apple started to look for ways of getting their customers to pay more for just about any basic function for their devices. So instead of making it easy for customers to use their own purchased music, they restructured iTunes and their devices to increase dependency on paid streaming and made it even harder for users to use the music that they already owned. And the coup de gras was eliminating the 3.5 jack and purchase of the Beats headphone company, (forcing customers to become even more dependent on highly price inflated supported devices).

These decisions, (among others), have earned Apple the newly minted title of "The Bose of Consumer Electronics". A company that talks brashly about 'innovation', when the only innovation that they truly produce is the marketing of mid level consumer electronics sporting 'innovations' that's been part of their competitor's devices for years.

Is it possible? I'm with MetroPCS and get about 80% of their frequencies but I'm short a few bands. Anyone on the same boat as me?
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] Mr. Clown:
I'm with T-Mobile and the phone works great with no band issues-even better than my S7 edge Tmo.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] someeh:
I know MetroPCS uses their network. Have you done the frequency check to see if you're getting all their bands, for t mobile I mean? I have attached the bands that the mate supports on Metro but would like to enable the ones that aren't.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] Mr. Clown:
I don't think the Mate phone (or any honor 7x version) have the hardware capabilities for band 66 or 71. If the phone was exclusively for T-Mobile, I bet Huawei probably equipped at least their flagships with them. Below you can see all the supported bands from all the Honor 7x versions.

https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_honor_7x-8880.php#l24

For me, even if the phone had either band 66 or 71 dunno if T-Mobile have deployed these frequencies where I live. I either get band 4 or 12 and is incredible fast (100 Mbps download).
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] kms9123:
ugh i totally want to know how to unlock all those bands

This phone becomes useless when you travel to Europe especially with LTE as major bands used in Europe aren't supported on US models.

this is very frustrating.
