calm down and type a little more carefully.....

you don't HAVE to pay for tomtom, just visit your local friendly torrent website for some help :)

[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] TheBigX:
Hey guys,

my neigbor has a A600FN model with a "locked" dual sim tray. It has a bar right there where the second sim would go (see here). I´ve checked and the phone has the hardware needed to be able to use the second sim (there are pins). Does someone has tried to use the DS tray in a non-DS model and got the second sim working?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Felix1598:
Hi there.

I have SM-A600FN Duos, form a polish carrier. It would seem unlikely that your neighbor's model would support Dual SIM capabilities. If it has two IMEI numbers listed in settings/on packaging/on sticker that was stuck on the casing, then it would be Dual SIM/Duos.

If not I think, that the only way to trigger that capability is to physically open the phone, find some clues if motherboard of that phone has some evident model selection circuitry like some 0Ohm resistors or something. Mine LG K430DSE had those (like you could set it as DS/F/T/TV etc; just by bridging correct SMD pads).

Then, and only when you would do that, wich is kinda unlikely, then you'd need to flash correct firmware via ODIN, and there would not be any guarantee, that the second SIM slot would work at all. It probably wouldn't work, because it wouldn't have any IMEI number registered to it I think.

That's all that I know. If I'm incorrect, then I'm sorry, prove me right.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] an-_-dro:
a.f.a.i.k even flashing "the correct" firmware (for duos) will not working. need some modification in efs etc. etc. there's guide for converting to duos in S7 edge thread. search in s7 edge thread..
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] renoxtv:
It has the neccesary hardware (probably) but you need a second IMEI and it's not easy to make it
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] the gladiator:
I have a pending OTA that I'm postponing. I'm unblocked and I have Magisk and TWRP; is it safe to install the OTA or before/after OTA installation I have to do something else ?
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] Dr.TheMaster:
no it is not safe, it will brick your device, the only way you can install the OTA is by removing magisk, reinstalling the stock recovery (and make sure it boots when booting to recovery instead of TWRP) then apply the OTA and if it was relocked you need to unlock again and reinstall TWRP and magisk.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] aciupapa:
it is safe, magisk will be removed, bevause a new boot image will be flashed when updating, just make sure to flash stock emui8 recovery in recovery_ramdisk partition
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Ashish0597:
i tried to root my redmi note 5. i unlocked bootloader and then did flash recovery using twrp img and adb software. but i couldnt root the phone as whenever i tried to boot phone it kept asking for enter password to decrypt. so i coudnt root my phone. few days later i decided to lock my bootloader again as i read that my phone isnt safe , what i did was using powershell in abd folder gabe the command for locking bootloader and since then my phone is not opening. it shows system has been destroyed whenever i try to switch it on. help me please . on holding vol down+ power button fastboot screen is coming on though. but i have no idea what to do
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] devcon69:
System has been destroyed means you have installed a different os on your locked bootloader phone. Solution is to unlock it again with miunlock tool.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
So I've never had any issues with the Play Store before. Just a few days ago it was working fine. Now, I get the attached screen when I try to look for updates. I've cleared cache and data for the store, play services, etc. I've removed and re-added my Google account. Rebooted the device. I've tried everything I can think of. Has anyone ever encountered this?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] MadCow809:
+1 Can confirm that I have the same issue as well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
I haven't contacted Google yet because ultimately their advice is to format the device and that's a silly way to fix issues and takes so much time.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobbyphoenix:
After a certain amount of time the updates listed under the Updates section will go away. My last one went away yesterday afternoon (Snapchat). If you don't have any updates to apps then you won't see anything there. There's nothing wrong with that. It's funny that you post about it because I just happen to take a screenshot of mine last night. It was empty like yours, but today I got one update, and now that one app shows.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
Sorry, that's not the issue. Look at your screen shot and look at mine. See all the white space where apps are supposed to be on mine and see how there is no white space on yours? I have had it like your screen as well. But not with all the white space. There is truly an issue here.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobbyphoenix:
Gotcha. I read what you tried also, and you don't mention if you tried uninstalling updates for the Play Store. Did you try that?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
Yup.

I spent over an hour on chat with Google yesterday and we tried pretty much everything. They admit it is a bug. They want me to format the device. They are working on a fix currently and I am working with other "specialists" there before factory resetting my device. Good times.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
How long do you think it would take to do a factory reset as suggested vs all the time you have spent with support? I assume you are bl locked and unrooted so you can't flash a factory image.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
They will likely keep replying to you (from different "specialists") asking you to do a ton of extra work that has no more reliability than the methods you could think of. Like bobby mentioned, flashing the factory image would be the best 1st step, but if not possible have you tried side loading the OTA through stock recovery?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I haven't unlocked the bl in years so correct me if I'm wrong. You can't do anything other than sideload an OTA if it's locked? So the options, if that is correct, are what you said, OTA sideload or if it's not a VZW model (and the sideload didn't work) unlock the bl, that'll cause a reset, flash the full Dec factory image, then bl lock again. (another factory reset). Bet that'll fix the problem. And the whole shebang will take under an hour.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
Pretty much, Bobby. If Verizon/locked BL, sideload current OTA (no downgrade possible). If you have a Google variant, you can still sideload OTA or unlock the BL (causing a reset) and then flash the factory image. If you go that route, I probably wouldn't re-lock the BL since stuff like this is as much a reason to keep the BL unlocked as rooting and other tinkering.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Great, thanks. Only thing is if the OP is as security conscience as I am then relock. If not leave it as is. Being able to recover with a factory image is the only thing I miss. It's a big one too but I'm on VZW so I have no option. He could always leave the OEM switch enabled if ever it was needed again I guess.

I'm curious how this gets resolved as he's not the only one with this issue.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
Oh this will definitely take longer than factory resetting the device, but as an ex software developer, I have to see this through and make Google work. If they find and solve the issue, this will help others who have the issue or stop them from having the problem in the first place. It's a bug that needs to be fixed IMO and being on them about this is the way to go. Sure I could just go away and factory reset, but this way, they have to deal with it.

See the attached pic I took today. After installing an app, this appeared on the updates page. The white space is clearly a bug and it needs to be addressed. If they don't solve this by the new year and I can't get updates for apps I use a lot, then fine, I'll factory reset, but I think they should be aware of this issue and they should have to fix it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
It's not the factory reset, it's remembering all the passwords for the various apps I have, settings, placement of icons, widgets, etc. It is a pain in the a** to reset a device. Besides, I just got this thing set the way I wanted it setup in the last couple of weeks. I haven't even had it for a month.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I can certainly appreciate making Google fix this as well as your setup you currently have. However, I seem to recall that when I did a factory reset all the apps and wallpaper and location of icons were imported from I guess Google cloud? Passwords were not though. Time to pull out that yellow notepad and go over those. lol BTW, are you bl unlocked and have you rooted or modified the system in any way? That was not clear from you OP.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] MadCow809:
My bootloader is locked and I've never rooted my pixel 3 XL, yet I'm experiencing the same issue that the op is facing.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
And this happened just all of a sudden? You have any thoughts on why or if perhaps an app screwed things up? Stock launcher? Some setting perhaps? Very curious isn't it? And since it's not very widespread it would be nice to know in order to avoid it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] samnada:
Just to clarify, is it just a cosmetic issue with displaying extra white space on that screen, or is there some other functional problem?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
The white space was never there before and is not there on other devices that I have encountered. Do you have the white space on your device? Also, updates are not appearing to happen properly either. The only reason I saw that one update is because I just installed another app and it updated one app right after that. I normally have numerous updates, daily.

Google has already admitted to and are working on this as a bug.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
But.. But. 3 people with this issue and they are calling it a bug? Are they blowing some smoke your way? Is there a tracker for this? CSR are notorious for playing the game until you give up. Be wary. I say factory reset and fix it yourself. You have spent way too much time on this I fear. But it's your call at this point. Keep us posted.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] samnada:
I'm not suggesting it's not a bug, but some bugs are minor and some major. If it's just a display anomaly personally I wouldn't go through a factory reset to fix it. If it really is preventing any updates then that's more serious. And no, I don't have the extra white space on that page.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] MadCow809:
Yup. Happened all of a sudden without any prior warning. I'm running nova launcher prime, but this shouldn't be the cause of the issue since I've been running nova launcher prime the minute I got my hands on the phone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I wonder if the OP is using a different launcher as well. Have you tried backing up your Nova settings, uninstalling, reboot and check?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
It is effecting updates. I received that one update yesterday when I installed another app, but nothing since then. As mentioned, I have a lot of apps and normally have several updates each day. I'm waiting until this weekend to see if they do anything about it, but I have sent numerous screen shots to the specialist I am working with as well as my logs and settings. If I don't hear anything back this weekend, then I guess a factory reset is going to be required. As annoying as that is.

Nope. Stock launcher.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
We have no idea how many people are effected by this. Just because they are not posting here doesn't mean it's not a larger issue. Again, I'm following through because I believe it is a bug and my time might save others time in the future. I don't know if it has a tracker or not or has been submitted as an actual bug, but the CSR as well as the specialist I have been working with have said they consider this a bug as it cannot be fixed by their normal ways of addressing an anomaly like this one.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] samnada:
Ok, understood. Not getting updates isn't acceptable. Good to know about this. Not a screen I tend to look at, so if updates stop I'll check it. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
Perhaps I missed it, but I don't recall you replying as to if you are BL unlocked and if you had tried a factory image load (minus the -w) or an OTA sideload if BL locked. Either of those beats doing a factory reset as a test.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
Not sure. I haven't done anything to the phone after purchasing it from Rogers here in Canada. No idea if it is unlocked, but I'm assuming so as carriers had to sell unlocked phones going forward after a government ruling a while ago. I think if I'm going to reset it, I'll just go into settings and do a factory reset and basically start over. Good times...:eek:

Doing either of what you are saying wouldn't cause me to lose data?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Moostafa29:
I've been having this issue lately as well. I did the clear data thing a few times. I think after doing it the 3rd or 4th time, it's been okay. But I've had issues with PlayStore, Amazon, and Chase apps lately.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
So do you have all the white space? Are your apps updating?

I've cleared data about 10 times and still no change. You should report it to Google as well. I think they definitely have an issue on their hands here.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Moostafa29:
Amazon is just white space, playstore opens but downloads stay on pending, and chase won't open at all. I'll report.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
I think you are confusing carrier unlock with bootloader unlock. Even if your device can be bootloader unlocked, you would have had to do that yourself (and unlocking the bootloader would have done a factory reset the 1st time). If you enable developer setting in setup, do you see 'OEM unlocking' in there and is it able to be toggled? If it cannot be toggled, then your BL cannot be unlocked. If it can, then you can run an unlock command in fastboot to unlock it. Again, this will reset the device but will only need done once if you keep it unlocked. You can then flash the factory image in a way that does not delete your data (removing the -w from the flash-all batch file). If you are unable to unlock your BL or choose to keep it locked sideloading the OTA also does not remove your data and personal settings just like receiving the OTA normally doesn't.

Keep in mind, Google will probably not tell you to do any of this. They will simply tell you to do a factory reset that will cause you to start from scratch.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
Yes, OEM unlocking can be toggled. I would prefer to not reset the device at all, so I guess if I want to sideload the OTA I will have to look up how to do that. I wouldn't mind trying that instead of wiping the device. If someone wants to help me out with quick instructions to do that, or point me in the right direction, please PM or post here. It would be appreciated.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I believe this is the way. Haven't done it in some time, I usually wait for the OTA these days. But give it a go and good luck.

https://developers.google.com/android/ota
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
That's the one. Even the guide here at XDA 5A of https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/guide-pixel-xl-android-9-0-pie-unlock-t3857195 just points you to that same link.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
Google hasn't responded to my last two emails to the "specialist" so I'm sideloading the OTA now. Tired of waiting for them. If this works, great, if not, then I guess it's a factory reset next.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
Nope. No go. Play Store still has the same issue after sideloading the OTA. Guess I do have to factory reset this thing. Sonofa*****.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Beatch works without asterisks. Sorry man.. it's almost over though.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
Nope. Factory reset done. It allowed me to download updates from the Play store, but see the attached image. Still looks pretty much the same. No idea if any further updates will be pushed through now. This is not an issue with residual data or cache on the device. Sorry Google, factory reset doesn't solve this BUG.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Holy crap that's nuts. Did it look like that right away? Before you restored your apps?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
As long as you are messing around (and I assume haven't spent a bunch of time setting everything back up), do you have another device to log onto with your current account and another Google account to use as the initial logon to your 3XL? It would be interesting to see if the issue follows the account or the device.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Good idea. I haven't seen anyone other than 2 people here with this problem so something or some setting is missing. I think at this point, if he can't do what you suggest, is do another reset and then do updates one at a time. Perhaps one app is throwing the display off. On a reset before anything else is set up does the PS look ok? At what point does it crap out? I'm sure the OP is frustrated beyond all get up but I don't believe Google is going to be able to fix this for him or even care to, unfortunately.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
Yeah, before I installed anything it looked like that. Although as soon as you load the device and enter your Google account in, it starts to install apps right off the bat so tough to tell if it was that way before anything started.

I don't have another device to try and log in with unfortunately.

This is rather frustrating to say the least. I did set things all up again and sent the info to Google about doing a sideload and then a complete reset and sent the screen shot I posted here to them directly.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Just trying to brainstorm a little here, how about creating a new Google account and log in with that account. I'm not sure how exactly that would work but if you remove you current account then go to the PS ... no you'd have to do a factory reset again to clear the apps already installed. If you did reset, and I don't presume you have the time or wherewithal, log in with the new account and then no apps get installed other than some default crap. Then see what the PS looks like. You could then add your current account back if everything looks ok but I'm not sure if the apps will then auto install again. You basically need to isolate when this occurs. If it happens right off the bat then get an RMA but I don't think it will.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
I can't see how this can be device specific. I really don't have the time to create a new Google account and do all of this, along with formatting the phone again. Not only time, but really don't have the want. This is obviously a software bug that Google needs to address.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
It really does sound like something is jacked up in your account since that is the only common thread if you did a complete factory reset. I assume you didn't restore personal apps during the setup. The only things that automatically restore are things from your Google Docs, Google Photos, etc. if you are resetting and installing with the same account.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I think the OP has just about had it. But if I recall correctly all your apps are auto reinstalled not just the Google ones. So by the time you look at PS it's too late. I think there is a setting which will bypass the auto install but I don't know where that is. Unfortunately, I don't think Google cares much about his problem since it's not widespread. It will be up to him (or us) to figure this out.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
I don't remember where without going through the setup, but it is pretty obvious whether you want apps reinstalled. I never reinstall personal apps since I have a lot that I don't want back. I just spend a few minutes after setup going back to my library and installing from there.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
That's a smart way to do it. I usually trim my library first before either a reinstall or upgrade but I've been tempted to install from scratch like that. Pixel 4 ;)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
Just for the hell of it, I uninstalled updates on an app and then went to the Play store. The update for that app was listed. Of course way down below all that white space, but it was there. Will be interesting to see going forward if I get updates for other apps. Wow what a pain in the ass.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:
So I go into the Play store today and see the attached image. Nothing was updated on the device (that I know of) and I changed nothing nor did I do anything after what I did yesterday.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Shush...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
Looks a lot like something that was happening to all Android devices (5 of mine with the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL included) where apps appear to have updated but there is no change to the published app date or version number. There is speculation that it is some security update that was pushed for different apps at different times. I haven't seen it in a couple of weeks despite having it happen almost every day on one device or another for a few weeks before. Somehow, maybe Google working on the silent updates fixed your issue. I had a case open with them, and they tried all of the same stuff as with you including telling me to do a clean reset, etc. Take a look at these reddit links.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TheIgster:

Thanks! Unfortunately, it shows how little their customer service department (even "specialists") are kept in the loop about what the software engineers are up to including known issues and what is being down about them.
