It was like that some time ago, but not anymore under Oreo.

If you can not uninstall an app, it's bloatware

LOL, you don't read my posting right. I wrote I had used a root uninstaller.

I know how to uninstall an app with adb. It works no way I know. That's why I asked here for a new opportunity.

If I do uninstall a package I get following error, and the telephone are reboot.

lucye:/ # pm uninstall com.google.android.youtube
android.os.DeadObjectException

I have found the right way:

lucye:/ # pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.youtube

Success

Hello, I wonder how to activate the call recorder on my p20 pro (C636) there is a folder called, sounds and in that folder is one called, Call record.

Anyone have a clue?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] paulomario77:
Can't help you with the stock call recorder, but ACR (Another Call Recorder) from NLL works beautifully.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] koloure2211:
Thank you, I am using that app also just wondered if stock, (being "baked in") would be better?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] donatinho:
Very few countries allow call recording, this is related to the CSC. Therefore, most likely your country is not amongst them.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] koloure2211:
Thank you for that.

It's just mine was purchased from Wonda Mobile, (Hong Kong) must be "frowned upon" there too?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] thref23:
Bricked your M5? Post here. I am one of three posters who have posted threads requesting assistance - we might as well create one thread where we can try and help each other.

My model? SHT-AL09 (C636). My story? I apparently made a bad change to my build.prop file, and had USB debugging disabled. I then probably dug myself a deeper hole trying to recover. I don't even get boot animation anymore. I'd happily pay someone to unbrick me.

The only potential progress I have made, is that I was able to install and successfully boot TWRP - although TWRP detects that I have no operating system installed and I am unable to mount any partitions except for my external SD card. Using TWRP's file manager, I can see that the system partition, for example, has not been entirely wiped, but many files seem to be missing. At the very least, TWRP allows me to turn the screen off without seeking to contantly reboot thereafter.

To install TWRP, I followed these instructions intended for Mate 9 owners:
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] AndDiSa:
Hmm ... I wanted to ask you whether you have the full OTA package for your device? So you should be able to extract all the partition images from there and to fastboot flash them. But I checked on HFF and I do not see a full OTA package matching your device yet.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] thref23:
I've tried flashing system.img/ramdisk.img from the c00 package. Maybe I have to wait for c636 firmware, or maybe I have to flash additional .imgs. I am pretty sure that the specs and hardware I have are the same as the c00.

I've tried flashing the entire update.zip file in TWRP...but as noted TWRP is unable to mount internal storage. I'm not sure if I need to wipe and reformat first. I also have no clue whether the TWRP build I installed is properly compatible with the device. I had nothing to lose by giving it a shot.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] AndDiSa:
This will not work as the boot chain will be broken due to mismatching checksums. You need to have the correct images. To flash a OTA image you also need to have the standard recovery image installed ...
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] thref23:
So...will someone correct please correct me if this is wrong?

If I were to flash a c00 oeminfo file, I could then install a c00 update.zip via dload folder?

Would c432 work as well (with a flashed oeminfo), even though the Euro hardware has different bands than my hardware?

There is now a full OTA on FF for C635.....still nothing for c636...
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] thref23:
Finally, a full OTA is available for c636.

But the 'dload' method (update.app on an sd card) failed at 5%. And flashing ramdisk/recovery/erecovery/system images also failed.

Is this possibly because the OTA is B153, whereas my M5 was shipped B121?

(I hate to be that guy bumping his own thread, sorry)
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] thref23:
I'm unbricked!

For those in a similar spot, looking to rebrand, or otherwise interested...

I finally e-mailed Funky Huawei for assistance. Their unbrick tool did not work. However, their e-recovery method worked perfectly (basically, you point your router's DNS to Funky Huawei, enter stock recovery and connect to wi-fi, and Funky Huawei's servers mimic Huawei's servers. If they do not have your firmware on their server, they will add it by request (provided it exists on the internet).

I paid $65 for a 30 day pass - a little steep, but I was impatient. I'm not sure if I could have gotten away with paying less. If you want to try and use my FH account over the next 30 days PM me (although I don't want to get carried away with that).

For those looking to rebrand, if you can flash an OEMinfo file successfully (FH has a rebrand tool and I have no clue how well it works), you should be able to use FH's erecovery method to flash firmware (don't blame me if something goes wrong).

One reason for the trouble I was having, if because I bootlooped after making a change to the vendor/build.prop file. This file was on the vendor partition, not the system partition, and for whatever reason the vendor partition cannot be flashed via fastboot (in theory it can be flashed, in reality it returns an error that doesn't have to do with the size of the partition).

Before reverting to FH, I finally got TWRP installled and functioning, and after all the attempts I made to recover my device, the same build.prop file which initially caused a bootloop was still in the /vendor folder. And TWRP wouldn't mount the system and vendor partitions as read/writeable - that was frustrating.

Now off to experiment with AOSP GSIs while I feel like I have little to lose...

[Touch Cruise General] tenticle56:
So I finally got to try a Polaris in person today. Overall, I was very impressed, however I did find the Touch interface a little clunky for typing SMS. Perhaps this is just because I have never used it before.

I didn't have a chance to time myself with a stopwatch when using the Polaris, but I am curious to see if anyone who has experience using the Touch interface could post some comparative times typing the same SMS on a regular keypad compared to the Touch.

When I came home today, I timed myself typing a standard 160 character SMS on couple of different phones -

Nokia 6300: 65 seconds

Samsung S800: 69 seconds

HTC Touch Cruise: ??

Note that the times themselves don't really matter, I'm just interested in the comparison between a hardware keypad and the Touch from someone with experience using both.

Any feedback you guys could offer would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance! :-)
[Touch Cruise General] texarcana:
I think its kinda useless to compare this from other people.

Everyone types on a different way (not everyone is speedy on SMS, it depends how much SMS'ing you do on a daily basis)

But the more you practice on a touch keypad (or alternatives), the better and faster you get at it.
[Touch Cruise General] tenticle56:
Of course, you are right - everyone types at different speeds. That's why the actual times themselves don't matter to me - what interests me is the relative difference between typing on a hardware keypad and a Touch keypad.

If a fast typist takes 60 seconds on a hardware keypad and 69 on a Touch keypad, while a slow typist takes 600 seconds on a hardware keypad and 690 on a Touch keypad, then I will know the difference is approximately 15%. In either case, the times aren't relevant, just the difference between them.

I understand that the numbers will always vary from person to person. We have so many great users on these forums and getting a range of feedback seems like one of the best ways to take advantage of their expert experience.

Thanks again!

Just got a notification today saying I should turn on samsung secure wifi. After much googling, I finally got the impression that it is a VPN server operated by samsung which you can force apps to use. Is that really it, or did the vague marketing web pages confuse me?

Why would I be more secure by routing all my traffic through samsung? Sounds like something facebook would do :p
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] wikholm:
Yes, it's a VPN service. If you are using unencrypted (typically public) WiFi, everybody within range of that WiFi can listen in on your network traffic. To prevent that, you can use a VPN. The VPN provider can of course see your traffic, should they be so inclined, so don't use a VPN provider you don't trust.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DVO99:
Hey guys, I've been running the tablet on LOS for a while now and needed to do a clean restore to update. I used flashfire but in the process, it failed or something so currently I'm stuck on the amazon logo with no OS installed. I can boot into recovery but not sure where to go from there.

The tablet was bought roughly a month after launch date and I have used TWRP on this tablet before. Can anyone point me in the direction to reinstall LOS. Thank you.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
If you have used TWRP in the past restoration is quite easy:

- download TWRP image (here) to a suitable host (eg: windows computer)

- tether tablet to host via high quality USB cable

- boot tablet into recovery then select option to boot bootloader

- from a command prompt issue "fastboot devices" to confirm connectivity

- from command prompt issue: fastboot boot <downloaded TWRP image>

- once booted into TWRP you should be able to install the previously downloaded LOS image plus GAaps and SuperSU (if desired)

Clearly just an outline of the key steps with many details omitted. Repost if further assistance needed.

I have 2 sims installed in my phone, a USA sim and one I use when I travel. I keep the second sim disabled when I'm in the US and vice versa when travelling. The issue I'm having is with the notch, status bar icon real estate has become VERY precious so I'm perplexed as to why the inactive sim icon is always present. It's turned off, I turned it off, why do I need an icon to show me that constantly?

Is there a way to fix this that doesn't include removing the secondary sim from the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] digger16309:
Sorry for this if it is answered elsewhere but I didn't see a specific answer in my search.

I'm looking for the unlocked international version of the S9 because I want to root it, flash ROMs, etc..

I see the international SM-960 models that have the Exynos chip, which I know can be unlocked.

I also see the international SM-G9600 models that have the Snapdragon chip. Can the international variant with Snapdragon also be unlocked, or is it Exynos only?

In some strings I've seen mention of getting an unlock code from Samsung after 7 days. Is that for the 9600 (snapdragon), the 960 (Exynos), or both?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Flik210:
The SM G9600 has an unlocked bootloader like the exynos variants, but since there is no TWRP for the g9600 you kinda can't do much with it. There are no custom ROMs out there for the snapdragon version. But there are GSIs that can be installed thanks to Project treble. But like I said, without twrp you can't do much.

https://www.xda-developers.com/snapdragon-samsung-galaxy-s9-lineageos-15-1/
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] nelsyv:
No, the SM-G960U (AT&T carrier locked version, IIRC) has a locked bootloader. I do not think you can flash any new firmware to it, unfortunately.

EDIT: Maybe you can, follow the guide in this thread: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9/how-to/how-to-flash-u1-firmware-to-device-t3765200

I'm not sure, but it may be worth a try.

This makes a difference to flash or not the 9600?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] schn1tt3r:
Carrier unlocked is not the same as bootloader unlocked. One let's you use any carrier SIM card the other let's you flash stuff.

Hello. If Pace is brand new and phone has Android 8.0+, it won't pair. First pair with another phone with Android 7.1 or older (or an iPhone), update watch's firmware, unpair and then pair with your phone.

Hello,

Same error.
[Amazfit] Quinny899:
Did you update the watch?
[Amazfit] im_nishanto:
Even I am facing the same issue. I paired the watch with another Android phone, updated the OS to 1.3.6d and then tried to pair it again with my OnePlus 5t but still the same issue.

What ROM on phone? Some versions have problems with Bluetooth, you may need to downgrade the ROM on phone.

You need to clear the cache of the amazfit application.
[Amazfit] chincheang:
Hi, I faced similar problem few days ago. The watch just refused to pair with my phone. Tried to install and uninstall the watch OS many times still failed. At the end, we found that it was my phone OS problem. I tried to pair the watch with another phone and it paired without problem. I then clean reflashed my phone ROM and solved the problem. For your information, my phone is OP3T and the phone rom is MSM Xtended (android 8.1.0). Thanks [MENTION=2372244]IFO[/MENTION]m for his help

I suggest you reflash your phone rom.
[Amazfit] jeffersonbebe:
I updated, but it stays in the same firmware 1.3.0n, saying that it is updated.
[Amazfit] jeffersonbebe:
Did you a hardreset in your phone?
[Amazfit] kingofdevils:
I was same problem, and for repair it I has to factory reset OP5 (reflash ROM, I use beta too), after I downloaded amazfit watch from play store and pairing fine
[Amazfit] jeffersonbebe:
HI, first I need to update Pace's firmware, I can not.
[Amazfit] chincheang:
I cleaned flash the ROM. If you check xda, normally the op will give you clear instruction how to do clean reflash. After reflash, you need to setup your phone again.
[Amazfit] kingofdevils:
Why? pace firmware don´t affect to sync it with phone, you can update pace later
[Amazfit] lfom:
Old Pace 1.3.x firmware won't sync with Android 8.0+ and newest iOS, firmware must be updated first using another phone.
[Amazfit] kingofdevils:
I has stockfied 1.3.6 and 8 Oreo and sync perfect, since December to May, I changed rom for wos2, same phone and beta, like OP
[Amazfit] lfom:
This should work: pair the watch using your account using another phone, then put watch in airplane mode (

so it will disconnect from phone

) and uninstall Amazfit app and remove watch from phone's Bluetooth settings (watch won't be unpaired, so no factory reset). Then go to your phone, make sure the watch isn't listed in Bluetooth settings, install the same app version used before, turn off airplane mode on watch and login to your account. The watch and phone should show the usual pair request with a pin code, confirm in both and they should be paired. If it doesn't happen then your phone's Bluetooth cannot see the watch for some reason... I have done this thousands times and it always worked if the phone can find the watch.
[Amazfit] Abhaypraseeth:
I have the OnePlus 5T and when I got my watch I had the same problem.....all you have to do is

1) Downgrade to Android 7

2) Pair the watch let it update to latest firmware

3) Update your OnePlus 5T to Android 8.0/8.1

4) Enjoy your brand new Pace

........................................................................................

ALTERNATIVE

Use a second phone that is on Android 7

Pair the watch and update it

Then unpair it

Go to OnePlus 5T and pair it

It should work either way?
[Amazfit] jeffersonbebe:
I was able to solve the problem. Pace updated to version 1.3.8, I managed to paired.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Amazfit] utsav2793:
Recently I bought Amazfit pace watch and i was also facing with the same pairing issue, my pairing get failed and always it popup to restart pairing when I connect with my oneplus 5t. This issue occur because of its old firmware of watch, the pre-installed firmware is haveing an issue while connecting with android 8.0 and above. After 1 day research i found the solution that.

Connect the watch with old Android phone below 8.0 version and Bluetooth below 4.2(may be). It will successfully get connected with old Android version. Onece it get connected immediately it will give you the option to update the software of watch. Just update it instantly. Now disconnect the watch with old phone and unpair the Bluetooth. Then try to connect with your latest Android phone(mine was oneplus 5t) it will get connected. And now my watch is working perfectly fine.
[Amazfit] Divvey Fallfan:
This is sort of how I did it. You need a wifi signal

I have a Redmi phone & it wouldn't recognise the watch. I installed the Amzfit watch app on my daughter's old iPod touch & set it up; connection was no problem.

You can then set up your account & enter your details etc etc. I then connected it to wifi via the app & updated the firmware.

Once don, I unpaired it from the iPod & the QR code came up when it restarted. This connected first time with the Redmi phone & all data / settings were transferred

Works perfectly now

Personally i have not yet found a case i really like but if i had to it would be one of those aluminum cases. In the mean time, best advice i can give is never put it in your back pocket. front pocket only with screen facing your leg. Or shirt pocket would be even better.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Username5.2:
My last phone you couldn't turn off, reboot, or change network settings while the phone is locked. This is a very useful feature as if your phone "walks away" tracking cannot be disabled so as long as your battery is not dead you have full tracking abilities.

I did notice this feature seems to work with GPS. If you try to toggle, it will prompt for a password but that alone isn't enough to track it. I need to lock mobile data as well. I could probly just remove it from my notification tray but that is an inconvenience as I do use that toggle.

Any Ideas?
