Google Voice Essential Phone NO Ring Ring Fix

Didn't work for me either but I figured it out... what I had to do is change a setting under Google Voice in Settings under the tab CALLS change to "Use carrier only" and I did have to turn VoLTE off. I left the Preferred network type as LTE. Phone is working well now, with T-mobile and Google Voice I have been testing it all morning.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] SharpTJ:
So my wife's S7 will not receive OTA updates... She is stuck on 6.0. After a little research it appears that she is not getting the OTA updates because she is still on the G930AUCU1APB4 version

Her phone is not rooted.

Is there a way to force the baseband update?
[Samsung Galaxy J6+ Questions & Answers] ibedaz:
Hello,

can you please help me out, I just purchased a Samsung model SM-J610G with a build date of 21 Jan 2019 and a build number of J610GUBU1ASA4... I have not been able to find a root or compatible usable recovery TWRP for it. I am told by others that there is no Root for this model phone. Not even sure if TWRP supports this model... Do you know of a way to root it... or can I revert back this model phone to a older version of Android i.e. 7.x that can be rootable? Please advice. Thank you.

I'm getting this phone tommorow and I'm wondering do I update to latest 10.2.3 firmware because I see people having problems with battery life and performance or do I stay on previous
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ron_hyatt:
if your phone comes with miui 9 and battery performance is your priority then dont go to miui 10 but if you want cosmetic changes, a bit smoother experience go for miui 10.

one more thing,my phone was much louder with miui 9 too.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] niteone:
If you update i suggest to use open beta as is more stable than stable
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] mohamedsaber00:
currently, I have Samsung S7 edge as my daily driver. I'm looking for a new phone and can't choose between S10 (Exynos version) or xiaomi mi9.

In my country there's no Snapdragon version of S10 which a way better than the Exynos..

Is S10 camera and display better than the mi 9 to pay additional 300$ ?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] airwebber:
This years version of the Exynos just seems way slower than other years. So for that, the MI 9 seems a better way to go, unless you want a water proof rating and storage card option.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] SurfaceCube:
If you have no problem with money, by all means go with the S10. Otherwise, the S10 is not worth the difference in price with the Mi 9
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 5408779:
I have the money and wouldn't buy the S10. It's absolutely not worth!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] CrazyBeaver2377:
Also depends if you can swallow oneui. It looks like an old people OS to me. Don't expect much AOSP development or fully working GSI. (i'm coming from s9+ and bought a mi 9). If you really value a headphone jack and sd card slot it might be a better option for you. But for price/quality ratio mi 9 all the way.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] benparker:
Why not go for the S10e Snapdragon version instead? That's what I've done and waiting for delivery.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] The Dutchman:
I've read that you cannot unlock the bootloader on the S10e Snapdragon version. This was also the case for previous Sx Snapdragon phones. Link
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] mohamedsaber00:
There's no S10e here in Egypt .. There's only two options S10+ and s10 and both of them are exynos

I can order it from amazon but it will cost more than the regular s10
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] airwebber:
I am a Samsung S7 edge user as well, running the Snapdragon version with the eng bootloader, which has really crippled the phones performance. I been mega excited to order the Mi9 and been waiting on the Transparent Edition to pop up a little cheaper. So I am thinking you should take a look at the Vivo IQOO and Vivo IQOO Monster as they have some features the Mi9 doesn't. You lose some things with the Vivo IQOO like wireless charging, but you get speaker jack, internal memory card, 4000 mAh battery and a far superior charger.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] mohamedsaber00:
I'm a fan of headphone jack and have 128gb Sdcard which I don't want to lose but performance of Mi9 is much better than S10.

So I have to choose a side
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] mohamedsaber00:
No one is selling Vivo phone here so I have to order it online which mean additional tax.

But for the headphone jack it worth to think about this phone.. Do you now anything about software support? ot custom roms.. xiaomi is so good in software update.. and there are alot of developers that support their phone
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] airwebber:
I am not sure what kind of support it will get being its so new. That is the only thing holding me back with it.

One idea - in the battery stats click on Android System and check whether you have "allow background activity" on or off. I've tried this and with this being switched off I had a similar experience with Spotify. Also - the galaxy buds started disconnecting from the phone with this setting on.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] ryanewashko:
Hi Everyone, I was wondering any of you would be able to help me with an issue I've been having. I recently purchased a redmi note 5 phone and have been using it the past week and I have come across a problem that is really bothering me. If I send a text to a new contact that I have put in my phone the phone will recognize them and display their name in the text thread however if someone sends a text to me first and I try to put their name in the phone as a new contact their number will show up in the texts instead of their name. Then I click on the text their name will pop up in the message but then it reverts back to showing the number when I back out of the text. The only solution I have found is deleting the message and the person's contact number and resending them a text after I have saved their contact name and number again. If anyone is able to help me with this problem I would be so grateful.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richaardvark:
I'm angry/confused - has anyone else had this happen to their device?

Last night, I sat down and rooted one of my 2017 HD8 tablets, following the damn-amazing Experimental Software Root method as recently uncovered and shared with us by [MENTION=8132642]diplomatic[/MENTION]. I then installed SuperSU (from the damn Play store!) to take the root from temporary to permanent.

I spent the last 24 hours FINALLY being able to use my Fire tablet as a semi-solid/functional personal computing device, finally able to really setup the device to perform as I need it to, and I've been very happy with how everything turned out.

Well, I just came back to my desk to find a message from "Play Protect," (a feature/service I ALWAYS turn off in Play Store settings, on all of my devices):

App Removed by Play Protect: SuperSU

This app can allow unauthorized access to your data or device.

(see images attached).

I checked and no longer have root status. Also, now I can't install any .apk files whatsoever. WTF??!

I downloaded SuperSU... FROM THE PLAY STORE...! :mad: The app is listed and available for installation from/by the Play Store (see attached photo).

So, I guess now I will just re-root and hope in the future Google chills the F out/gets their creepy little hands out of my device/data. Maybe I should freeze the Play Store/Play Services? I just wanted to see if anyone else had ever had this happen to them/if there is a recommended solution. SO annoying!!! ??‼?‼??

(pardon my grumpiness/I feel a little bit better now, post vent ?)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richaardvark:
Ok - I'll stop whining now... ?

I was able to recover root by simply reinstalling "SuperSU" from the Play Store. Hopefully it was just a fluke and everything will stay where it should be.

I had a similar experience today when updating some apps I got from the Google Play Store. During the updates, it deleted my SuperSU with no warning or asking permission. Luckily, it didn't affect my root as far as I can tell. I too got SuperSU from the Play Store. It is DEFINITELY annoying !
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Two things when installing play store. Always good to 1) immediately turn off auto updates the second you sign in. 2) turn off play protect.

As soon as play services updates, all apps will start to update if they are allowed. So make sure to look at 'my apps', and make sure none are stuck in que. If so, tap 'stop all'.

Try SuperSU v2.79. Grab it from this post here. Playstore has problems with V2.82
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Just don't update from the play store unless you downloaded it there and if you do update, do so manually by downloading standalone apk and installing it through documents or a root explorer. I'm trying to work on a fix for this version in some form. We can't flash it unless you use the modified version on the stock rom thread because we aren't quite 64 bit yet. Flashing the standard zip will bootloop. So I've been experimenting with a totally manual install, including rooting the boot.img so when the apk is installed it doesn't perform the auto install embedded into it. So far, though I don't really know yet, it appears to be a success. One of the issues, I think, was the installation of the 64 bit library file. Either it install it, but in the regular lib folder, or doesn't install it at all or does install but doesn't set proper permissions (guesswork). So I added the necessary files by unpacking and repacking the boot.img. This is not a final version.I'm, but If anyone is interested in trying it out I can upload the boot.img.

So we've got a smartphone that's connected to the Internet 7/24 and its IP address usually does not change, thanking to mobile IP.

From my PC, I can ping to my phone and my phone responses, even during the period of standby (dark screen).

What if someone ping my phone continuously? I think the battery will run out in an hour or so.

What we can do about this? You know hacks are probing ports all the time and they sure will find my phone. While they mostly cannot do any hack, but they'll drain out the battery.
[General Topics] Jadel:
Someone would really specifically want to annoy you or do you harm to ping your phone constantly, it is not as easy as it sounds. They would have to specifically want to do it to your phone.

About battery: I am not sure that sending a 1kb ping continuously would drain your battery that much quicker, as you're already connected to the internet and a similar process is already taking place to keep you that way 24/7. Even Direct Push Email will ping your phone once at least every 15 minutes, and Microsoft apparently found that an acceptable process.
