[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] biobeast667:
Ok so ever since my phone was updated back in October 2018 the default phone app (A.K.A. Samsung Call) on my Samsung Galaxy S7 has been gimped...

Symptoms:

- Whenever I receive incoming call the app launches and receives the call normally.

- Cannot make any calls, the actual app with the "Phone" icon can be clicked on but doesn't launch, which includes the dialer.

- I cannot launch calls by using the Contacts App.

- I can actually successfully launch an outgoing call by going through my text Message app(which is still the default Samsung app) and by selecting a person's number through a message they sent I am able to use the drop down menu to launch a call.

Fix Attempts:

- Attempted uninstalling & reinstalling only the Samsung Call app

- Attempted to clear the cache and data for the Samsung Call app (for all 3 of them because 3 of them show up in my app list whenever Show System Apps option is checked)

- Attempted Factory Reset of the phone, both through the Settings/General Management/Reset menu and through the Android Bootloader/Bios

- Attempted accessing the Call app inside of safe mode, no dice.

I'm at a loss as to what to try next, besides nuking the OS on the device and reinstalling it from ground zero. (Also as side note is this a well-known issue? Because I can't find any mention of it anywhere yet when I go to the Galaxy App store and look up the review of the app it seems I'm not the only affected user following that Oct 30. Update)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Only other thing I can think of on top of what you've done is uninstall the app, then try an apk from apkmirror or another mirror site.

If it's say a problem with system corruption an Odin flash might rewrite what's broken. If you flash with Home_CSC,AP,CP,BL it keeps your data. If you use normal CSC it wipes.

I had responded to a thread in the note 8 section but thought I'd pass the info on to the note 9 forums.

So:

you just need to launch the proper screen recorder activity. i use the nova launcher for its activities options:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher

so just create a widget on your homescreen as you normally would then when choosing the widget choose 'activities', then scroll to 'record screen' and choose the correct one.( there are 3 activities for screen recorder so choose 1st one)

if you want the quick tile then just use the tiles apk from the play store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles

use that app to create a new activity tile. choose record screen as the main activity and choose the 1st of 7 available sub activities.

hit the 3 dots next to the activity you want and save.

go back and then Rename this activity because you can.

Now go to your quick tiles/button order and add activity1(once you add it to your active tiles the custom name you gave will appear)

com.sec.app.screenrecorder.activity.LauncherActivity

is the actual activity if anyone was wondering.

edit :

so i just realised that the thread i responded to originaly was infact in the note 9 forums and not note 8 as originally though.

although my method seems to be more pertinent to the guides and discussion section(rather posting it under the apps section like original thread), if it is deemed as duplication, then please remove.

but basicaly anything can be launched via widgets or quick tiles using activities and following the steps described. so i hope this broadens my initial goal of simply showing how to add the screen recorder.

update:

U models might need the apk:

Hi Guys, anyone have any hints to deal with the garbage bluetooth on this device?

Specifically I have issues using smartwatch type devices. My pebble watches (Pebble OG and Pebble 2 HR) and my fitbit blaze, all struggle to connect, and when they are connected, they disrupt a2dp audio streaming to my headphones and my car stereo... the same watches and audio devices work fine on my pixel 2 xl and are all amazingly reliable and consistent, but connected to this phone the audio is fine, but as soon as I connect a smartwatch the audio goes to ****, and none of my watches will remain consistently connected or reliable.

I also notice the pixel can read the headphone battery data off my headphones, and the sony cannot.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] thump:
Picked up a Moto 6 Plus (XT1926-7, retla) last month and have been running the latest 8.0 (8.0.0_OPWS27.113-89-5) with unlocked bootloader and Magisk. Working flawless. :good:

Decided to take the plunge to Pie last night, which ended up with me have to do a full restore of a 8.0.0_OPWS27.113-89-5, then taking the OTA to 9.0

Upon successful OTA to 9.0, I then rebooted and used fastboot TWRP to try to take a clean nandroid backup. I could backup all partitions except Data (fork failure to make the rar).

I then rebooted again (still stock, no Magisk install yet), and noticed that I was getting a "dm-verity disabled" warning on my bootup screen and then a warning under System Update check that says "Updates are disable for this device due to compromised system integrity". :(

Have others tried the same yet? Is this "compromise" due to the unlocked bootloader, or did TWRP trip something? Is it possible to run Pie with Magisk and still be a google certified device?
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] thump:
Just tried again:

* Clean wipe and install to 8.0 (89-5)

* Bare bones phone config.

* enable USB Debug

* Accepted OTA Update and reboot

* Successful update to 9.0 (PPW29.116-11, patch level Dec 1, 2018)

* Play Store version 13.0.23-all [0] [PR] 227930514

* enable USB Debug

* reboot

* following warning on the blue/yellow bootup screen: "Verity mode is set to disabled"

* System Update page: "System Integrity is Compromised", "As your device system integrity is compromised, it is no longer eligible for software updates. Please contact customer service to re-program the device with official software."

EDIT:

* Magisk rooting still works: https://xdaforums.com/g6-plus/how-to/3-how-to-install-root-aka-magisk-t3854244

May i ask you a question kind sir. I have the same model (G6 plus) de same oppw thingy (8.0.0_OPWS27.113-89-5) and when i hit the update button did not get any OTA. It says i have the latest version and still in november security patch. How did you trigger the OTA? Or you sideload it? Thanks kind sir
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] knevelsg-j:
Nice to see that you had an OTA to Pie. I was about to ask where you live, because I don't have the OTA here in Belgium yet. But then I saw you have a RETLA device, so I guess I will have to wait some more!

Is the phone working well on Pie?
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] thump:
I've used both, but the installed one worked identically so far for backing up and installing Magisk.

I'm on the retla software channel, which I believe is the first to get the Pie OTAs.

Yep.. purchased on Amazon in the US (I don't think they ever officially released G6+ model direct to US). So far, working smooth. Haven't found any bugs.

Should also note that even with the Verity and "not update eligible" issues, and now rooted with Magisk, it does still show as Play Store Certified.

Weird. Mine badgered me every hour with a "Software Update is Available" notification for the past week. Even when I did the clean stock reflash to 89-5, it notified me a few minutes after clean reboot, before I even got around to checking System Updates. Maybe rolling it out in staggered waves of some type?

Edit:

I have just reflash it my headunit back from mx-3.00 to the mx2 (3.00) version, to the original mx2 version as it was when I bought it, you must choose and do the wipe thing otherwise the head unit will not be start but keep showing the car logo.. in case you would to go back to your mx2 version ofcourse.
[MTCD Software Development] marchnz:
People, dont do the above, use the latest MCU version or cross compatible HA or GS MCU.

The MCU is not android and would never require a wipe.
[MTCD Software Development] Seicane-Misery:
when the adult men talk about logic..

Hi Guys.. do not pay any attention to such reply at all,

I'm gonna explain it to you guys why i'm Wright and that guy is absolutely Wrong!.. please read it very curfely twice..

firstly, I am the one who has this mx2 headunit,

secondly, I am the one who flashed and tested it both version mx+mx2 already,

thirdly, if you do not have mx / mx2 headunit and also you didn't test it (mx/mx2) why did you write a reply back than?

aha, to warn the guys I heard you say? again, first you should Test things and only than say (reply) something useful back..

nobody has asked for your opinion! learn first to read carefully (twice!) and only then write something useful back when it concerns to your own head unit only and if you already have a mx-mx2 headuint and if you have tested it already and your head unit went broke (brick) you have all the right to warn the "people" as you called them.. right?

Very important..

I've written too clearly that I already have an mx2 headunit,

and then I got a mx version (3.00) from my seller and I flashed it with it On My Own mx2 headunit and it went ok so nothing went wrong or defective or damaged my own headunit or something like that at all,

and now I want to go back to the original mx2 version which I already have and did in the meantime.. is there something wrong with it?

Again..

first and only if you have the same headunit with mx / mx2 version and then Only then you have the right to say something useful to the guys back, other than that your reply will literally fall under stupid reply: sucked out of his thumb.

I never need or asked your comment because I want to spend my free time on something useful than on stupid answers/reply's.

Ps: when guys flash them headunit's with custom roms or with this or that custom things there is "sometimes some risk.. Only 2 in 5 long years bricked them headunits and they fixed it back!!" of being damaged (bricked) and that what malay and also hal9 has write it on their first page: Flash It At Your Own Risk.

But if one of the headunits of the guys went broke/brick after flashing this mcu file on his own mx or mx2, I will pay for a newer "motherboard"... a'm I too Clear now!?!

end of story.. some guy let even an old horse laugh.. hahaha.

Thanks you guys for reading!
[MTCD Software Development] niufy:
Can i ask which is better or newer mx or mx2..?

Or which the difference between them?

Thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] retromann:
As far as I know, the only difference are the car-logos, which are shown during the bootup process.

I flashed from mx to mx2 and my Citroen-carlogo is still there, but I cannot chose another one inside the factory-settings.
[MTCD Software Development] LinkseD:
Correct MX is with car logos and MX2 isnt.

The newest MX version is 3.08. and MX2 is 3.13.
[MTCD Software Development] Basoda:
Are you sure that latest MX is 3.08?

I got MX 3.12_1

[MTCD Software Development] retromann:
Yes, there is no official place to download those MCU files.

Every file we have here for download is only made accessible by asking the vendor/dealer of the headunits.

So someone should ask Bob from Witson again. ?

Hello, my first post here.

So, 3 months ago my samsung j7 touch became unresponsive after OTA update to 8.0 oreo. I emailed samsung and they tild me I need a touch replacement. So i put the phone aside until I read an article somewhere which said this was due to the update and not hardware

So i tried to downgrade to Nougat with Odin but the problem was it was OEM locked. I tried to unlock it with miraclebox (I once did it with another phone) but miracle box failed and bricked the phone :(

So now I have a bricked phone which is oem locked and i tried using odin to flash stock rom with no luck (i think because of oem lock?) I tried using smart switch but the latest version doesn't have a device initialization option and when I tried being smart by downloading the older version, still it is not working like then. So am stranded here any HELP please fellas?

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
My wife and I have been using the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL since just after release and after 2+years of the OG Pixel and Pixel XL. None of the 4 phones have had any hardware issues or software issues besides normal stuff that gets fixed or is application specific. Most of the software issues have been the cat and mouse game with rooting (these days via Magisk), custom recovery (TWRP) and installing from custom recovery, and other random root permission/root app issues. Since you have a Verizon variant, none of that is relevant except in the extremely unlikely event that a bootloader unlock is found. To be honest, the only issue either of us have had software related is that on her phone she has to to swipe the shade down again after clicking/acknowledging a notification to get the notification to go away. Funny thing is the OG Pixel had the same issue, and it is hardly a deal breaker despite the fact that Google has just thrown a ton of useless troubleshooting steps her way that would be far more problematic and time consuming than just dealing with it. It has been reported by others, but there still seems to be no consistency in the cause.

I've had the Pixel 1, 2, and now 3. I've had ONE issue with the 1st Pixel and haven't had another issue since. The GPS chip went out in the first pixel but the rest have been bullet proof.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] stocovick:
First device had a paint chip on the frame near the top, awful battery life and static noise in the earpiece, and many software bugs that were mostly fixed with the December update. Second device had a paint chip near the usb port, problems with the oleophobic coating, and static noise in the earpiece, and the black frame had marks/scratches all around from being on a Spigen case which never happened with any other device I had in the past. Besides these issues, the software seems half-baked, with lots of small glitches. The video recording is terrible for a flagship phone (not talking about the audio), and if the phone starts getting too hot, the recording becomes choppy and the phones turns into a lag fest and it turns itself off to cooldown. All in all, I feel like the quality of the hardware is subpar and the software experience is too barebones to justify the price.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] pacificwing:
For me, the biggest unresolved issue has been the persistent lack of communication from Google. It seems particularly bad since the release of the Pixel 3. That has not been corrected, and probably never will.

I can understand and forgive defects. They are bound to happen. That being said, the Pixel 3 has had an abnormally large number of issues compared to most other devices (even compared to previous Google devices) indicating a low level of quality control on this particular product. Going by what I'm seeing on the forums, the biggest outstanding technical issue right now appears to be with call quality. I've personally experienced this issue myself on 6 different Pixel 3 and 3XL phones (RMA exchanges). I also work with a number of people who received/purchased the Pixel 3 or 3XL over the holidays, and have found that their call quality is so poor that they can't even use the phone. I started a thread about it here on XDA. It is the topic of one of the top threads on Google's own product forums. Thousands of people commenting, and new people adding their voice every day. Some major news outlets have picked it up. There are also daily posts about it on the /r/GooglePixel sub-reddit, but they are quickly removed by moderators or downvoted into oblivion. To this date, no one can say for certain what causes it because Google won't officially acknowledge that they even are aware of it, let alone trying to fix it.

There also appear to be outstanding issues with memory management, screen colors, Bluetooth connectivity, and the haptic engine (seems to have a high failure rate). Some folks are claiming they are still having issues with the camera not saving, despite the recent patch. Browsing the forums, there is still a laundry list of other unresolved issues with the P3. Some might be fixable, and some are inherent to poor QA in the batch, and will probably never be resolved.

But none of that matters, because Google won't communicate. There is literally no indication even Google is even aware of these issues. There is no way of knowing what will be in the next patch, and no expectations relayed to the customers.

Even if the Pixel 3 is eventually patched to perfection (doubtful), and all Googles future releases are problem free, the blatant lack of communication and poor customer service will prevent me from purchasing a Google product again. The level of customer service is on-par with some of those shady Chinese e-bay stores that sell low quality electronics. I honestly can't believe a billion dollar company is treating their customers this way.

Edit: Here is a link to the product forums. You will probably get the best idea for the problems people are having there, since it is the first place a non-technically inclined user is likely to go.
