How do I hide tethering in magestic hide and I will see if it throttles.Im also on grandfathered plan too.Sean
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sb1893:
I didn't do anything specific to hide tethering. I enabled the use of the native tethering capability by using MagiskHideProps to add the net.tethering.noprovisioning = true. This bypasses the provisioning/subscription check to Verizon and simply starts the hotspot immediately. Using this method, I have never seen any evidence that Verizon "sees" my hotspot activity. My bill always indicates that no Hotspot usage occurred each month. Perhaps, by bypassing the provisioning check, Verizon does not know to "track" hotspot usage??? Not sure...

Thanks,

S

Sb was your hotspot unlocked and you get 15 gb a month? What is magiskhide props exactly?? What is your phone rooted with?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sb1893:
I am on a grandfathered unlimited data plan which does not include hotspot. I use the magisk to root and magiskhideprops to make the build.prop edit of net.tether.noprovisioning=true which allows me to tether. The forum thread I linked to earlier has more details and you can also find tons of documentation on magisk and magiskhideprops on the magisk forums.

So I dropped a pair of scissors on my s8, weird I know and it cracked the screen just enough to piss me off to the point that I am selling it and I scooped up a brand new G6. Honestly I only use my phones for whatsapp, work emails, gps etc etc so I wasn't going out and spending tons of money. I checked the rom thread and I see there are many choices unlike my locked bootloader S8 so I it will be nice to be back in the modding realm again. Just curious what the majority of you guys are running here? Long battery life is one thing I need so maybe a good tweaked kernel?

[General Questions and Answers] nascar48:
If anyone has ever dealt with sprint it is almost impossible to get their devices unlocked when you buy a used phone. Sprint requires the original buyers name or account number.

However aren't they violating the CTIA consumer code for wireless service?

From the CTIA website:

(2) Postpaid Unlocking Policy. Carriers upon request, will unlock mobile wireless devices or provide the necessary information to unlock their devices for their customers and former customers in good standing and individual owners of eligible devices after the fulfillment of the applicable postpaid service contract, device financing plan, or payment of applicable early termination fee.

Is sprint in violation of this part of the policy by not unlocking phones for anyone who owns a paid off sprint phone?
[Huawei Watch 2] erisinger:
Hi,

Does anybody know how to interpret the data coming from the Watch 2's PPG sensor (not heart rate, but the raw PPG values themselves)? For reference, PPG data is usually 1-2 traces (for red and/or green wavelengths), centered at 0 with a range of +/-1000, depending on the presentation (sometimes capillary blood volume, sometimes blood pressure).

The raw PPG data coming from the Watch 2, however, has a crazy format: each reading is a length-16 array of floats; the first, second and fourth values (indices 0, 1, and 3) are either numeric or NaNs; the third value (index 2) is always numeric; the remaining 12 values are always 0.0. To make things weirder, the ranges of the numeric values are very small, and centered around ~10^-40.

That said, the third value (index 2) does provide something that is recognizable as a PPG trace when plotted. But we can't figure out what the other values represent, why some of them are often NaN and others are always 0, and why the value range is so small and centered around 10^-40 (roughly).

If anybody has more experience with the raw PPG readings from this device, any thoughts would be appreciated. I reached out to Texas Instruments (makers of the AFE4405 PPG board used in the Watch 2) and they said they had no idea -- the crazy data is a Huawei thing, not TI.

Many thanks,

Erik
[Huawei Watch 2] :
Any progress?

I'm working on it and I found a similar situation. I wonder how do you know the PPG sensor integrated is AFE4405. I have browsed the instruction page for AFE4405 on the official TI website, but I found no valuable information. Do you have any progress these days? Thanks a lot!!
[Huawei Watch 2] angelrc96:
Same situation as above

Hello! I'm facing the same situation too. I was looking into the Float array of this sensor and I've got same values. So we should figure it out a way to represent this data in a PPG chart...

Any ideas?

I will let you know if I find something useful.

Kind regards,

Angel
[Huawei Watch 2] erisinger:
Conclusion

We eventually gave up on the device for various reasons, but we did get in touch with a research team at Oxford who had published some work using the HW2's PPG sensor. They reached the same conclusion that we had: only the third trace is useful, the rest is basically noise. They had a little bit more information about what the traces represented (one turns out to be infrared, which is used to detect when the sensor is being worn), but nothing that fundamentally cleared up the odd data format.

In short, if you need PPG from the device, index 2 in each float array will give useful data. Consider the rest noise.

If you come up with anything better I'd be interested to know.

Best,

Erik
[Huawei Watch 2] erisinger:
Sensor

If you Google around there's a way to force a dump of various specs on the watch. If you do that, you get a reference to the AFE4405. See my reply below, but in short the third trace is meaningful, the rest can be considered noise.

Best,

Erik

Perfect. Thank you so much for your answer. Sincerely, Angel
[Huawei Watch 2] TTworld:
Hi Erik,

Thanks for providing the information. It is really helpful. We also want to use some smartwatch to get the raw PPG data. As you said, you gave up the Huawei Watch 2. Would you please give me some information about what device you choose now?

Thanks very much,

[Huawei Watch 2] erisinger:
Hi Ruixuan,

We ended up going with the MotionSense HRV (https://md2k.org/software/how-to/supported-sensors.html) built by Ohio State University. I'm not sure what the availability is like outside of academic research circles, but you could reach out to MD2K for more information.

Help please!

Hey! I am also working on a Huawei Smart watch, and facing the same concerns as you. My values are in the range 10^-40s, and none of the event indices seem to give values that, when plotted resemble a PPG. Here is what I am trying, is this the index 2 that you have mentioned? Any guidance welcome!

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bladerunnernexus:
Hi all,

I had the pleasure of re-learning all the stuff I had forgotten last weekend while attempting to essentially wipe and load a new rom to my kindle when I found that the bootloader was actually unlockable. I'm very happy with the results but have a few questions.

My last root/Safestrap was done with two files, that If I recall correctly, they were told to leave these in the root of /sdcard/ and never touch them they are:

mod-update-kindle-apollo-14.3.2.8_user_714328020.bin

update-kindle-14.4.5.2_user_452004220.bin

They're around 1.2GB combined but I'd like to remove these, especially since they are associated with a hack that I've essentially removed and replaced with the better, full bootloader unlock, full twrp, etc. is this ok? I think these files might contain my original Kindle Fire HDX OEM NAND or something?

Also, About the full bootloader unlock, that I read back in 2013 was said to be "non-unlockable" if you had updated past firmware XXXX.XXX and so you had to settle with the half-unlock safestrap deal, like I had... what makes the new vulnerability novel? This Aboot.vuln ? Does the "A" in aboot stand for Amazon? Since this is the amazon bootloader? Just trying to research the vulnerability a bit and the info is scarce, especially about this vuln in particular. You can get overview information about bootloader vulnerabilities but no info on how they work, what they do, etc.

Thanks for looking,

Hey guys,

I'm rocking a note9 128gb snapdragon tmobile us variant, and it's been great aside from the issue I will be sharing today.

When I either close an app and go to the home screen, switch apps or unlock the device sometimes it'll generate a blue bold line/or white thin line in between screens going either vertically or horizontally. It isn't much of an issue much more so ugly and I don't think it's normal cause it doesn't always happen and looks 'unprofessional' or unpolished. Yesterday however while watching a show on amazon prime app, i opened up a notification on my instagram app and clicked it and as my phone began switch to IG from the amazon prime app my note froze. It displayed a grey screen, and divided the screen into two large blue boxes. It looked like the phone had crashed, but then it loaded IG moments later. The grey screen /w two blue boxes lasted for a few seconds. THe boxes were just outlines, eg they weren't filled.

As I've had this phone for a little bit(about 3 weeks), I am wondering if this is a software issue I could fix with some settings or this is worthy or a replacement? Because I cant imagine that this is a normal feature...

Only 'mods' I have are install adhell 3 and using nova launcher. I have not rooted my device.

Thank you for reading.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] roosta:
Guys,

For those out there who have this phone or are still testing. Can you:

Set different ringtones by contact (I can see you can only set 1 ringtone by SIM card in settings)?

Can you assign different notifications per app? Eg: a different sound to SMS receive compared to email received -- Can you set notification sounds in the native app itself while disabling the normal Huawei system notification otherwise?

LED notification PULSE light. Any one take a video of it displaying in the dark?

Can you set different LED colours by different notifications using a 3rd party app like LIGHTFLOW? Not sure if it has Pie support yet...

The fact that there's a 99% likelihood this phone cannot be unlocked to customise as I see fit is a big turnoff, meaning a lot of useful apps I have to go without...making Huawei stand up and tick more boxes is now extremely important

Any help is appreciated

Even without Google contacts you can set tones for different people in the stock dialer contacts app, go to edit the contact and at the bottom there is a tab saying "more fields" and it will allow you to set custom ringtone. If you go to settings then apps and click the app you want to customize and at the very top it'll say 'notification management" click on that and then click on sound, and then you can pick a sound.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] GuestK00459:
I have discovered my PH-1 has an unusual problem. If the phone is powered off for a day or two it loses a substantial amount of battery. I found this out when I switched back to my S8+ while on a trip and when I went to switch back to the PH-1 it was down to 60 something percent battery when it was at 100 percent when I powered it down.

This is new behavior as it wasn't doing this when I got it.

Thinking it was a fluke I repeated the exercise a few times with the same result. I reached out to Essential support but because I purchased the phone used (off Swappa) they told me to pee up a rope after making me jump through hoops for week.

I tried a hard reset, re-applying the latest patch, and re-flashing the latest Pie via fastboot. Nothing has worked which makes me believe it is a hardware issue.

Just for laughs I powered up my Nexus 5X which has been powered off for months and it was still at 100% battery.

Anyone have anything I can try? I really like this phone but now can't trust it.

I guess as this is the second time I got burned buying a used phone (first Google and now Essential) I will stop using Swappa. The manufactures will not help so you are on your own when you have issues. I realize the manufactures aren't obligated to help second hand device owners but it still sucks when you have issues not of your own making and they blow you off.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] CamoGeko:
That sucks.

Ideally the seller should have been open enough in the description and have explained that this problem exists. I don't know how it works with Swappa as I never used it, but on eBay you can try and work it out with the seller or even open a case saying the phone is faulty. Your best bet is to contact the person who you bought it from and ask if they have an original proof of purchase, or if they're willing for you to send the phone back for a full refund.

It really sounds to me like a battery issue which would be a definite cause for an RMA, I've not seen anyone mention this problem before though.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] GuestK00459:
I'm not sure the seller knew of the problem as it wasn't behaving like this when I first received it. I'm not really blaming either the seller or Swappa. No OEM is going to help you out if you purchased second hand. It's a potential pitfall that purchasers need to be aware of. I was aware of it and still got burned.

I would really like to find a way to resurrect this phone as I loved it. But I won't buy another one. Short of trying to replace the battery I just have run out of things to try.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] TimboC2000:
One thing to try would be to see if it does it with no user installed applications whatsoever.

I'd factory reset it and uninstall everything and see if you still get the drain.

Given that it seems to happen when the phone is off I doubt it's an application, but it doesn't seem like you have many other options.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] GuestK00459:
Thanks but I've already went that route. I re-flashed that latest Pie image and didn't sign in or install anything. Same issue. I'm pretty sure the battery is toast.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] CamoGeko:
OEM might help if the device is still in warranty and whoever you bought it from has the original purchase receipt. Or they have a system like OnePlus where all you need is a screenshot of the order, doesn't matter who owns the actual device.

I try to buy phones in new condition, or at least make sure there's some warranty left plus a purchase receipt of some kind.

Unfortunately changing the battery isn't an option, Essential Phone has no spare parts available so I doubt you'd be able to find one for replacement. Your best bet is to contact the buyer and try to get a proof or purchase off them, or just live with the issue. If you have the phone as a daily driver it won't bother you too much right? Do you feel like the phone drains battery quickly when it's on as well? What kind of Screen on Time do you get with it?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] GuestK00459:
I don't know if I can still contact the seller or not. I can talk to someone at Swappa and find out. That actually is a good idea and worth trying. I haven't run the phone as a daily driver since I discovered the issue because of all the testing Essential made me do and my own experimentation. It does seem to drain more quickly but at this stage I can't be sure.

I may just use it as a very fast and expensive mp3 player.
