[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Nazzz:
I have a dual-sim S10+ (G9750) and I have the same issue — the option to sort contacts is physically removed from Samsung's contacts app. Moreover, even when using Google's own contacts app that still has the option to sort by last name, there is no effect — whichever sorting option you choose, it still sorts all contacts by first name.

Now, I thought I could easily solve the issue by flashing some other regional ROM, but it turns out that dual-sim options in China and Hong Kong (G9750 vs G975FD) actually come in Snapdragon variant, as opposed to dual-sim Exynos variants in Europe or elsewhere. As much as I prefer Snapdragon variant, I now cannot flash any stock rom for Exynos dual-sim variants, thus being stuck with first name only sorting for contacts.

I cannot fathom why would anyone remove such an option, especially for international versions of a flagship phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Sttigg14:
I have found a way to change that. Go to Settings - Apps - Contacts, then hit the "gear" button in the upper right corner and there you can find "sort by" and "show first".

On Android 11, One UI 3.1 still has this problem? Today I noticed that I do not have the options "Sort contacts by" and "Name format".

Can the problem still be solved in Settings->Applications? I can not make it! Can you give me a print screen?

Application version: 12.1.10.42.

Thx.

At least I am not the only one... I have a international Dual sim S20 Ultra.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G G9880 12gbRam 256GB

There is no option in the contacts menu to sort contacts at all. I want to sort by last name.

Tried https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S20/phone-does-not-have-a-way-to-reorder-contacts/td-p/13...

Does not work for me. NO "Sort by" option in the menu. What fool forgot a sort function ???

Nor is there an app I can find that sorts the phone's contacts.

Please help.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] mrgcav:
Are there no stock USA roms for the Snapdragon ? G9880 owner.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] mrgcav:
I am in the USA

I use Google Contacts. I do not use Samsung apps. They are garbage.

I have my S10+ and s S20 Ultra.

So, to further complicate the issue,

if I setup my contacts correctly according to Google contacts on my computer, putting the correct info into the correct blank spaces.... I get last name first and company names in alphabetical order but ALL of my Doctors are listed under the letter D "Dr. ______ , _________"

But on My S10 they all listed properly including Doctors in alphabetical order last name first.

As Expected, My S20 Ultra can not sort anything. Its first name or prefix first. I was hoping the recent upgrades to Android 11 or 12 would fix this. The updates did nothing.

So, to find and be able to search for any contact on three different platforms I now have resorted to making redundant contacts.

In google contacts:

1. I have a correct list, putting the correct info into the correct blank spaces

2, I have the same contacts also listed backwards, putting the last name in the first name slot and vice versa.

3. I abuse the File AS slot depending on the type of contact for Doctors I list "Last, Dr. First - Type of doctor." For personal names I do not use the Save as slot, For businesses. I put the familiar version of the company name in the Save As slot and the true company name on the "Company” slot.

4. Every contact must have at least one nonidentical duplicate/ Different enough so the Auto merge function, which I HATE, does not recognize similar contacts. This is done with adding spaces and carriage returns in the middle of Names, phone numbers, email addresses etc.

I do end up with nearly triple the contacts but I can always find and in needed search for what I need.

Plus, Google is well known to auto merge or delete contacts. It happens to me a lot. But since my contacts are redundant, they never delete both or all three versions of any one contact.

I also shut off the auto sync and only add new contacts when I am on my computer. Google differentiates a contact entered on a cellphone from one entered on a computer.

Contacts entered on a cellphone may only be local and may not be shared with other phones you own. But contacts entered on a computer ARE shared with all phones on an account.

Nope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
@mrgcav I'm not sure if you're asking a question or not, or what your question is. But, I wanted to point out that I use the Google phone app (which includes the contacts within it). In there, you can change the settings (3 dots menu) and set the display options to do first/last or last/first as you desire.

I would agree that having this to deal with would be annoyed with, but I find I just search for what I want, and that eliminates most of my issues with using it. Searching finds the name first or last without issue, so it makes it much faster and easier to find. I never scroll to find contact names... I have far too many (my cell is actually running my company as well, so I have 2 numbers (cell + google voice work number) and contacts in both sides, and this searches through both accounts without issue. If I really wanted, I can find business-only contacts by going to the GV app and searching there, too... point is, I don't scroll there either.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] mrgcav:
If you have read all my posts then you know my problem. My most recent reply yesterday was my workaround solution of the problem.

I m glad to heat you have something that works for you. But in my case it does not apply.

Because my phone is different than yours. You probably have a locked corporate carrier trackable phone. The data on most phones is not private and google in their user agreement says they have a right to copy any data you have on your phone. Google will share with Police and government agencies and sell your data. to anyone.

I have unlocked Samsung untrackable (nearly) phones. Google cannot copy my data unless I let them. My phone, My data. Google is always asking me for access to my media and files on my phones. It is annoying. Google apps will turn themselves on and off at will even if disabled.

Example: I do not use google Translate. I used it once and deleted it. It reappeared and I have not been abel to delete it since. I have it "Disabled" but it runs in the background trying to collect data anyway.

Anyway.

Under the three dots I do not have sorting functions as I mentioned previously, Nor does sorting solve the Sir name prefix problem such as "Dr."

I search as well but before using my workaround the search would not find all instances fo what I queried.

Then there is the fact that google deleted contacts. Which I also solved.

So maybe I need to explain it better, assuming you read it thoroughly.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
You can think you're not being tracked, but if you're using the internet in any way, you can be tracked, period. I'm not saying your efforts aren't worthwhile, but I don't think just installing/disabling/removing apps will get you where you want to be (you need to have a far deeper control of the OS to get there). Regardless, feel free to carry on with your intentions... good luck.

Anyway, I think you're still asking for a way to sort contacts. Assuming that's the case, my point is that many apps can offer that functionality, so you should be able to find one that meets your needs. I recall I had used one in the past called DialerOne and that one seemed to have lots of options like the ability to sort by first or last name. I simply used the Google phone app as an example, really.

I agree, I'm not fully understanding what you're looking to accomplish with this particular thread. I would like to help, so if you want to explain, I'm happy to continue to try.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] mrgcav:
I do appreciate your help. I am sorry of my intentions or goal is unclear.

That is my own fault. So I will try again.

Yes basically I want to sort contacts.

The problem is I need to sort contacts on three different platforms last name first and each has its own quirks.

Trying to find a method that works on all three would be ideal but I think its unlikely.

I can look into the Dialer one app you mentioned.

As to my privacy, Yes if one logs onto a business's WIFi, one could locate the business.

I did not go into full details on how I avoid this. There are spoofing methods and VPN's that add extra layers of security. My VPN warns me if anyone is trying to Track me.

My VPN can look for patterens of IP activity that I use or frequent and will recommend alternate connections.

My phones are not registered to me personally.

I wipe my phones regularly of all user data.

I do not put my picture or name on the internet or on my phone.

I can change the serial numbers and IMEI on my phones if needed.

I can monitor all raw incoming and outgoing raw signals. So if I see one I do not recognize I can take appropriate countermeasures.

I use TOR browser with a separate encrypted VPN.

The VPN tells them I am in another country and masks my IP which was masked already by TOR. But even if someone was clever enough to pierce the mask , I would receive a warning and have at least a 60 minute lead on them which is plenty of time to relocate and switch phones.

Thought it has never happened.

The price I pay is speed for this level of privacy.

Sad we live in such a intrusive world.

In the Past, I have rooted phones and installed new ROMs. It does give you total control but I find it is frequently unnecessary and some apps will refuse to operate.

I buy unlocked phones from Australia or Taiwan. They do not have the mandatory GOOGLE tracking software and chip like American cell phones have.

I can shut google out at will or let them track my phone if it is lost.. I can log into my phone remotely.

So I think I am about as safe on a cell phone as can be accomplished.

Up until about 2005 I had complete animosity on the internet.

Even today, though I am not hiding, it would be very difficult to locate me via my phone.

It would be easier to ask..

So I hope I clarified my contact problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
Yes, you have clarified your contact issue. My point is not to use any single app, but that there are apps out there that can do this, and you just need to find one. Google is good at some things, but awful at others... sometimes even basic things are lost on them. It's very disappointing. Most big companies run into this problem... lack of vision to see what people actually need or use... and lack of listening to customers, even if there are only a "few" asking.

Anyway, as to your privacy, I'm sorry if I really don't believe your story. I am not saying this to offend you, but there are many holes in your story, that's all. If you want to discuss further, we can do so offline... I am interested in hearing about it, but I don't want to bore anyone here, nor do I want this thread to be hijacked further.

I have enabled Camera2API, Gcam 5 works, and later I found V1.4.032219.1950 also works.

i did searching as well for the same thing, its not possible due to hardware limitations, but if you have the speaker on, the mic will pick up what the person on the other end is saying. but there is no way to do it internally. it may also be possible with some bluetooth devices, but im guessing they would be expensive.

I have been trying to find an alternative to the xposed module "StatusbarVolume" because I don't like having to uncheck my modules and reboot before playing Pokèmon Go.

I found an old app called "Noyze" and the dev stopped development on it and it's completely open source now.

I was curious to see if it would install on Android 7.1.2 and surprisingly it did and it works!

Not perfectly though.

I was wondering if anyone else had done this yet or if someone could give me any kind of information on what would be causing the random fcs and little issues it has.

I've read a ton about building apps but once I started looking around I realized I would rather see if I could find someone that has knowledge of this or if they would be willing to tell me what issue is caused by what part of the application.

I feel like this would be amazing if it could get up and running again.

Pm me, post here, anything. I'm not picky and I'm open to any ideas.

Thanks!

Notice: you may download ROM version according to your build number. Do it only when you receive a notice to update after your phone is rooted.

Root will be removed during the process but you can regain it.

https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/river/official/RETAIL/

You can use your fastboot commands below to flash ROM

You don't have to use "fastboot erase userdata" if you don't want to wipe. It's OK as it's minor update

Use "fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img" if you want to regain root. You can do it later. Grab original boot.img from ROM and patch it with Magisk. "patched_boot.img" is default name of output file and you can name it to whatever you like.

You can read full flashing commands opening "flashfile.xml" with Notepad++

Soft brick with AMZ_9.0_PPO29.114-16-5

I'm in a soft brick position where my Moto G7 (XT1962-1) is stuck in a boot loop. I'm interested in running these commands, but I'm concerned that I won't be able to get to true stock because there's no stock image for the AMZ variant of the phone @ mirrors.lolinet / firmware / moto / river / official. I've tried flashing the retail variant, which has the same build version as my phone via

fastboot flash boot boot.img

, but no luck. Do you know if running this list of commands would be safe to run on my AMZ phone against the files for the retail version?

Thanks! I actually have tried this image already after flashing the retail version :eek:, but that didn't break it out of the boot loop either. A concern I had in running the longer comand was that the version listed here was at version PPO29.114-16-7, but my phone was @ PPO29.114-16-5.

I'm at a point where I don't have much (more) to lose, so I'll try running these commands tomorrow otherwise.
