[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Disable both Software Update .apks via ADB/AdHell3/Package Disabler app of your choice.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
I've read a lot about those, in the other threads, but none seemed reliable any more.

Maybe I'll see if I can hold off the update with AUTO UPDATES turned off in DEFROST OPTIONS and if that doesn't work, downgrade back to Oreo and then adb/Package disable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
There's never been any problem package disabling with ADB or Adhell 3,both of which are free.

The problems you've probably heard about likely surround Package Disabler Pro, to where they kept changing the app & having to repeatedly buy the app to keep current.

I played along for a couple of price increases/repurchases, but, eventually threw in the towel after the 3rd price-gouging attempt.

ADB or Adhell 3 is the way to go.

I'm not taking it. I used adb to remove the user partition of every bit of Sprint and especially omadm that I could get rid of. I'm fine with installing themes and flashing updates I want for myself. I don't need Sprint being able to complete control the phone and have processes that load on script and command tot close things they don't want me in. or change settings That's way too creepy on something people put all their passwords and information in. Had I known how bad it was I wouldn't have jumped back here from Pixel.

Hmm... maybe a bug in whatever wakes up when you sleep to send out a copy of your device?

I wish I still laughed and thought that was nuts. Use adb for a sysdump and see if there's any activity? That will show you what's killing them so you can stop it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
Yes, those issues with Package Disabler Pro, are what I was referencing. I thought there were others with failure issues, also.

I'm going to read up and do this, today, I think.

Now, to find the exact line entries, to disable just those two. I don't want to disable a ton of stuff, just the system update apps. Man, TiBU was easy!

Which method do you prefer, ADB or Adhell 3?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
I prefer AdHell3 for it's ease of use (once set-up),the ability to just toggle from disable/enable from the app on the phone vs the PC being the only advantage,much in the same way as TiBU (or SD Maid).

FWIW,App Freezer does the same thing as PDP/AdHell3,but,you need to grant it Admin rights via ADB to use it:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakasoftware.appfreezer&hl=en_US

Some aren't comfortable w/granting this app such permissions,so,there's that to consider,but,it is free.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
OH, SWEET!

I'm going to try Adhell, right now, if it's that easy.

You, sir, are the BOMB!

Thanks, for the tips!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
You'll need to get a key from Samsung to use Ad Hell3 (& renew it every 90 days).

Once that's done,yeah,it's as easy as using the TiBU app.

There's a few threads on AdHell 3 kickin' around here in the Note 9 forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
I'm reading a couple, right now.

Thanks, again!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
Ok, I got AdHell installed. I tried following a couple different instructing that had me unstained AdHell thru APK edited pro but I couldn't get the prices to finish. I uninstalled APK editor pro and just installed AdHell 3.1.1 via regular sideload. Gave is admin privilege and entered my developer key.

I open it and see one app for SOFTWARE UPDATE (first screenshot) and two apps for SYSTEM Updates.

In TiBU I would disable the two SYSTEM UPDATES apps and not disable the one SOFTWARE Update app. I haven't had a Samsung phone for a few years, but is that correct?

After renewing Developer Key every three months, do I reinstall the AdHell apk using the new key?

Should I delete the previous version and reinstall or install overwrite?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
I don't have any .apks named System Updates,just two of 'em named Software Updates.

Guessing the difference is in carrier firmware (I have a T-Mo US on stock 8.1 Oreo).

As long as the Software Update tab in Settings is inop,I'd say you're good to go.

As for the rest regarding AdHell3,.....TBH,I just started using it a week or so ago,I'd give the Ad hell 3 threads a look,see what's needed for renewal.

FWIW,I just used a pre-compiled .apk that I found a link to in one of the threads here @ XDA,but,still had to generate my own key.

For the longest time,I had no success in generating a key & I gave up on it & just used App Freezer.

Months later,just for the heck of it,I tried it again & it worked on the 1st try.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
Fair enough! Thanks, again!

I got it done on my Note 9 and the wife's Note 9.

Hopefully that works as good as TiBU with root!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BettyXDA:
Hey, so returning to the original issue, I've also been getting this issue on my Note 9 and I just figured out what's happening.

I went into Settings > Device Care > (three dot menu) > Auto-optimization

I had previously turned it off, but it still says 3am under the greyed out area below. So I did a test, I turned it ON so I could change the time, set it to one minute ahead, and turned it OFF again. I checked which apps I had in my recents menu, noting specifically that Chrome was there which I hadn't used since much earlier. I set my phone down, screen off. Two minutes later, pick it up, check the recents menu and sure enough, only 3 apps are left in my recents, Chrome and every other app that wasn't in the 3 latest is gone!

Conclusion: auto optimization is glitched to stay ON regardless of whether you set it to ON or OFF >:(

Solution: the only thing I can think of, is to keep the setting on for convenience, and manually set the time like twice a day, so that it never reaches that time to optimize itself :/ (At least by doing this, the auto optimization app will remain in the recents menu for quick daily access)

I really like the Pie update, so honestly I prefer that workaround to going back to Oreo. Hopefully Samsung fixes this bug though, or someone with a deeper understanding of Android might come up with a fix (can a switch be flipped through an adb command or something??)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
Did you test to lock the apps in the recent list?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BettyXDA:
Well, I spoke too soon. I honestly thought for sure that would do it, but even as I actively make sure the auto optimization time shifts to never be triggered, I still go back at times to find my recent list cleared ?

I rely on that list to remember things I'm working on or putting off till later :/

Yea locking apps in the recents list does nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BoojaBaandar:
Hi, I've been looking at downgrading to Oreo as well, but held of for the time being as people suggested I do a factory reset to see if anything improved with Pie's oh so many annoying quirks, with the recent apps all but closing no matter what settings are used being the absulute worst one.

Anyway, I've decided I'm definitely going back to Oreo where life was so much easier. Like you I have a UK Note 9 that was purchased direct from Samsung. After reading through all the threads I could find relating to downgrade I got Oreo firmware via updato and Odin 3.13.1 but you said you used the patched version so now I am unsure as to which Odin I should use.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Hi,

I really dont get this watch.. Today, during the morning I recorded 2 walks. They both synched to strava immediately.

In the afternoon, another walk and Exercise bike at home. Nothing. Nada, niente. Wont show up om Strava. Restarted everything, refreshed app, nothing.

If I use the Strava app on the watch it always works, however, I would prefer to use the native one.

Honestly, this watch really gets me on my nerves.

Any ideias?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Racehunter:
Hi,

I am having a problem with the HEOS app on my Pixel 2XL. Having just cancelled my Spotify Premuium account (have to have premium to stream to a HEOS device), and knowing the app allows streaming music directly from the phone, I thought that by uploading my music library to Google Play Music service, I could simply select 'This Phone' is the music source section, then select the album/artist/track, I wanted to hear. Anyway, absolutely no music is shown to allow me to select. I wondered if it was because the music was cloud stored, so I downloaded a couple of albums to the phone and tried again. Still no music showing in the HEOS app. It will play directly through the phone speaker or headphones, but simply isn't listed to allow streaming. Its all very frustrationg! I have emailed the guys at Denon (HEOS) to see if they might have an answer, however as I don't know if its an app problem, or a phone problem, I thought I should seek some guidance here.

Thanks

Steve
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] enzeem2010:
The trouble here is Google Play Music isn't one of the services offered by HEOS. If you have the music stored physically on your phone you should be able to connect at minimum by Bluetooth and play it. If that doesn't work, maybe clearing app cache and restarting the app might get it to show up.

Hope this helps a little..

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giogio_nit:
Hello there,

since I last updated my SM-T700 to the 6.0.1 firmware, the bluetooth pads I used to connect to my tablet stopped working.

The pads are 8bitdo SF30 and N30. They are properly recognized by the device, properly connected... and they just do nothing.

They are both updated to the latest available firmware, as well as all the other apps on my device, and they properly work on all my other stuff (pc, rspberry pi...). They were also properly working on my tablet till I upgraded the firmware.

Does anybody have the same issue? Anyone knows how to solve it?

Thank you all.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] csetera:
I recently updated my Verizon Galaxy S9 to the Android Pie release. I had previously been using WiFi calling on my home network, but once I updated to the Pie release it no longer works. In fact, despite lots of interaction with Verizon support, I have been unable to even access the settings to enable WiFi calling. They simply are not there. Are others seeing this? Does WiFi calling work with Android Pie on Verizon?

Thanks,

Craig
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] bigginksu:
I am wondering the same thing. After updating to Pie last night, my S9+ no longer has the WiFI calling feature.

Wi-Fi calling would help out big time since our cell tower strength is very low at my house. I hope this isn't Verizon's way of them forcing people to purchase their mobile extenders.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] csetera:
The Verizon support rep certainly seemed to believe it should have been there. To the point that she declared my phone has a manufacturing defect and shipped out a "new" one. I guess I will see if that one behaves any differently. Like you, I'm on the edge of the coverage and WIFI calling has been helpful for battery life.

Craig
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] bigginksu:
Craig - I think I have some good news! To enable WiFi calling, go to your Phone app, then click on the menu on the top right hand corner and choose Settings. "Wi-Fi Calling" is shown on this screen.

except it doesnt turn on for me on my note 9 it just trys and says unable to at this time . The only way I can get mine on is to turn on airplane mode then turn on wifi , then try to call someone and turn on wifi from there. But after I take it out of Airplane mode I have to do it all over. Spent 1 hour on the phone with Verizon . I own my Construction Company and this is the only phone I have for work . On top of that we are in a dead zone in the middle of Denver Colorado where my Home/Office is. 1k POS phone is only good for a paper weight . I have to call with my google home. This is miserable. Yes, I factory reset and trouble shot for more hours than I can spare.

I know this is the S9 forum. But I just got the update on my Note 8 and my work S8. Both of them are having the same issue. There's a notification about Wi-Fi calling Saying to tap here to confirm or update Emergency Location Information. I tap that it Says loading this may take a few moments, then says it's unable to enable Wi-Fi calling. I go through the phone App and settings and try to enable it there and get the same results. Before PIE i had this enabled already on both phones too.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ECrispy:
Ok I know this sounds like a stupid qn on XDA :)

I've unlocked bootloaders, rooted, tried all kinds of roms/kernels on every Android phone I've owned. My Nexus 6 died suddenly (it was working perfectly, I'm still confused, just wont power up now) so I'm going to switch to a Pixel XL (looking for good deals used).

I've been reading how the Pixels have 2 partitions and its a pain to use. Also I now value stability and reliability a lot more. And from what I've read the custom roms are not really faster than the stock. The main feature I'd like is dark mode and a way to hide navbar and use gestures. Also I want to be able to use Android Pay etc. I've tried Magisk systemless etc but somehow it never worked for me.

So how many of you Pixel owners are just running stock? If now are you rooted + custom rom or just root? And why did you do it?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Butchr:
I came from a Nexus 6 a couple months ago. I have ran a couple different roms and have setteled in running Liquid. I have thought about flashing bootleggers but liquid runs so nice I probably won't flash again untill a major update is published. I rooted for the first couple roms I tried but they didn't run as stable as I prefer and I really don't need root for my daily use so I don't bother with it for now.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] BeWaryBeCautious:
Soo....3 weeks ago i was searching for a phone to replace my aging Kirin 650-powered Honor 5C and i was going to buy another Huawei (and also getting ready to be disappointed again by their half-assed software support for mid-tier devices and a GPU processing power equivalent to my Casio Scientific Calculator) until my eyes were locked on a super great deal. A 190-ish USD for a 128 GB Mi A2.

I was so excited back then but after a while i just realized a few things with the latest update (first pie update, im kinda scared installing the second pie after claims of bricking devices lol) which are

1. The camera app is meh

2. It doesnt shoot in RAW (My rooted 5C got it, thanks HassanMirza and other peeps on developing the superb Elite ROM on this device)

3. The portrait mode sucks major ass like it only detects objects thats at the center of the frame (sucks when youre using the rule of thirds)

4. And gosh whats with these white dots when im using manual mode with long shutter speed

I just felt like this superb hardware (this phone snaps superb pics btw) is being bogged down with a meh-than average software. Its not bad but when you found settings like "Picture Quality" and "low, med, high" you'd be thinking like, am i a joke to you xiaomi? Also I like how Huawei's camera app are more technical and in-depth, but i wanted some more "meat" on the processing power (i prefer sd 660 than the kirin 710)

So i was so tempted to install Gcam

In which we will end this rant (sorry) and get back to my topic which is; Should i lose OTA and root this phone? Because idk why i would like to have my warranty (i only do this to out-of-warranty devices only) and this pure android is as good as pure water, or pure whatever that you like, its so good fast and 90 percent bug free. But i also want the features that those custom rom (especially pixel experience UwU) so should I wait for future updates where hopefully Xiaomi will enable Camera2API by default? Or should I succumb on my own impatience-ness and root/unlock/flash my 3 week old Mi A2? What will i gain if i unlock? and what will i lose?

oh also i broke the screen on this baby yesterday, came of from my t-shirt pocket when i was trying to tie my shoes. So um wear cases/Screen protectors guys, gorilla glass 5 is just a marketing gimmick smh
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Njaiker:
You can Root your phone and have OTA at the same time. As long as you stick to the stock rom and don't make changes to the system partition, OTA will be intact.

The only caveat is, you have to take some extra steps before updating your phone. There is a great guide on Mi A2 Lite's forum for proper Magisk installation with OTA intact.

I have not flashed a ROM on this one so I don't know how is the experience there. I have been running custom ROMs on every device I have owned but the A/B partition and temporary TWRP and all the extra steps are a lot for me. I would rather use Magisk modules to replicate the features I want on the stock ROM itself.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Sp_Ark:
I bought this phone to stick with stock plus all mods I usually do. I was always with custom roms, I thought why not a phone with good specs great camera and regular stock updates. When I bought it pie had just arrived. It lasted 3 4 weeks then back to my beloved pixel experience. The difference was big. PE is way ahead of buggy stock. Ok not the easiest phone right now for twrp and flashing roms with a b slots but with a little reading you can do it... Gcam was huge difference as well both in stock and in PE. So my suggestion is yeah totally you have to go for custom rom. Only to get rid of the dull color of the lcd on stock is enough
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] BeWaryBeCautious:
Partitions? Umm care to explain what exactly it is? Like I did heard A/B partitions but I never got a hang of it. Before this I've only dealt with phones that has microsd expansions so I never heard of A/B partitions.

Yeah I'm diving deep into the PE forum right now Hahahah. But when you said it's not the easiest to twrp, what do you mean? I mean what should I expect when I'm going to flash a custom recovery on this phone? (apart from not bricking etc2 usual stuff)
