[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I'm on Fi now for my second line (3a) purchased from Google Store, my primary is a family VZW plan using a Pixel 3. On the 3a I saw an app, which I didn't install, called T-Mobile unlock. I clicked on it and it said something like you are locked to T-Mobile which of course I'm not. I just deleted the app, the Tmobile app and the Sprint app. Why would it say that though? These carriers are out of control, imo. I thought all phones had to be unlocked due to an FCC regulation. Is that not the case any longer? I wouldn't buy a phone from any carrier at this point other than Fi which guarantees full unlock all the time.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] pbanj:
Well the FCC is more of a joke now than it's ever been, but that's for another time. The carriers are allowed to sim lock while you are leasing the phone, but have to unlock upon request, unless you have shown you can't be trusted. Verizon on the other hand is required to not sim lock. It was part of the licensing deal for the lte bands they use(they got in trouble a couple times for this).
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] pookguy88:
all of you getting it unlocked at Tmobile before the 40 days, did you have to actually use it on Tmobile for a day or two?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] SurNubs:
how were you able to do it there giving me a reaply hard time
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] dhoang:
Yes, I did use it for couple of days.

The rep I was chatting with on Twitter give me a hard time too. She kept saying she cannot do it because the phone is on EIP. I told her they were able to do it for me with my oneplus 6t , which was also on EIP. After going back and forth for a little bit I finally convinced her to provide the unlock for me. It was much easier with my oneplus 6t. So, it's depended on the rep that you get. My recommendation to you is to keep trying with different reps. It also helps if you have been with them for a long time, which I am. Good luck.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] SurNubs:
i really appreciate it dhoang in really trying to get this phone going im on my fourth rep hope the next one helps im paying off the phone been with them for 7 plus years ill ask another one to see what happens

thank you
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] SurNubs:
okay so i have the google pixel 3a xl and finally was able to unlock device and bootloader took me all day but i got it done now to figure how to get magisk and all that
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] googlephoneFKLenAsh:
No. I contacted t-mobile right after I put my sim card in the phone and made one call.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] bshiznit:
Thanks for this! Trying it now. I needs my adb remount!!!
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] bshiznit:
@PhoenixPath - after a couple hours back and forth on Twitter:

@TMobileHelp

they eventually agreed to permanent unlock after my second month's payment. I was really looking forward to building clean AOSP for this thing; I may have to blind build for 60 days since I cannot even fastboot flash the system image. If I get a good working one with GApps support and the correct selinux policies I will post it here... eventually and after custom recovery of course.

Also thanks for steering the thread back on topic :)
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] PhoenixPath:
I'd double check with them on the "first two months" bit. If they would allow you to pay the $60 or whatever up-front, that might speed things along for you a bit? Sorry to hear that didn't work out for you. Let me know in PM if you need anything from an unlocked device to help you build; I'll do what I can.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] pookguy88:
just wondering, did you have to use the Tmobile unlock app to actually unlock it once they approved it?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] PhoenixPath:
Yes. Once they flag the IMEI, the app is required to perform the unlock.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] bshiznit:
I'm unlocked, lots of back and forth on Twitter and ended up paying 2 months off the equipment installment plan, then a couple days later permanent unlock was available in the T-Mobile device unlock app. Thanks for your tips. I got the device one week ago today, so not too bad.

So i have a system.img built, need to test it. I've never "built TWRP for new device" but since we have device tree from Google it can't be that hard. I will look into building for sargo against Omni source, probably this weekend then eventually an AOSP pure rom if all goes well
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] gtuansdiamm:
tmo help has been refusing my unlock without fully paying the phone off
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Char_G:
My apologies, didn't see this till now. I DMed them on Twitter, it was time for an upgrade and I told them I would like the 6T but didn't want to have to wait to unlock it, so they agreed to unlock it after the 40 days on the network which they did. I've been with them for many years though, they know me pretty well
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] XmentalX:
Same here, they will not budge over 7 years no late payments and 8 current lines. Will not budge...
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Call back, speak with a supervisor. Threaten to leave and follow thru if they don't relent. I had to go all the way to the transfer line department before a "disconnect specalist" came on the line. Call Google Fi see if that makes sense. These carriers need to pay attention to loyal customers. But with 8 lines you're probably stuck so keep calling until you get the right supervisor.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] sic0048:
I don't have T-mobile, but I've seen lots of posts from people that have been able to get phones unlocked while on a payment plan. The biggest common factor is that they use Twitter to ask. Specifically they DM t-mobile and ask to have their phone unlocked. Very few people are able to get a phone unlocked by calling t-mobile on the phone.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] XmentalX:
Once my voice is back that likely will be my next step
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] XmentalX:
Tried to give it another shot today through T-Force on Facebook. Said I am looking to travel and do some vlogging while on the road (not entirely false just not anytime in the next 6 months lol) but am on the android Q beta and cannot use the unlock app to temp unlock (doesnt seem to work at all) and well the good news as soon as the device unlock and Q work together I can unlock my device and bootloader.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Depending on when Q is released, and/or the unlock app works, that might be a while. I'm not sure why you elected to go beta before you were unlocked, but you can always revert back to P (after backing up all your data) then unlock and join the Q beta if you so desire. That should take you all of about 4 hours give or take.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] XmentalX:
I am stuck on Q now, too much work to revert and lose my 2FA token for work. I went to Q because I loathed the Pie navigation. I can be patient because by the time I can unlock it I will probably have another daily driver phone so this one will become my DIGITS device and the development community will be matured and have plenty to offer.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] XmentalX:
They released an update last week fully unlocked and good to go.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] troxter:
Do You know any pay service that can unlock Pixel 3A? EE UK can do that after 6 months, so I have to wait 5 months more...

Any advise?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OverallAlpha:
Hello,

I recently ordered a phone called "elephone a5" and I've been using it for the past few days.

I haven't noticed any problems then until yesterday when I noticed that my phone isn't charging properly. I saw it was stuck at 22% for a while. Then I tried removing the charger and everytime I do that it decreases until it's 0.

Now when it actually gets to 100 percent or any amount really, after unplugging it drops to 0 instantly.

I checked what drained it so fast and the system seems to be the culprit.

Would appreciate it if anyone would help me solve this issue. Thanks

PS. I'm thinking if factory reset would help fix this issue cause the os for elephone a5 seems to have lots of bugs
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OverallAlpha:
I managed to fixed it by simply factory resetting the device. Turns out the culprit is the os since there is a lot of bugs to be fixed in the next fota update

Update: problem isn't fixed, I thought it was cause it lasted for a while before dropping to 0% and shut down
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OverallAlpha:
Update: I noticed that the indicator is not properly showing the battery percentage cause it does says 0% but when I'm at recovery mode, boot mode, and fastboot mode, it doesn't shutdown because it still has juice in the battery.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivanw21:
Also I have the same issue. For me the phone worked for about 8 months, then the battery has collapsed in a second and after when I charge it, then the battery went to 0% in less of a minute.

Anyone contact the manufacturer to know if it's a defect?

Blue. The only thing I regret about buying mine is that I didn't have the patience to wait until the other colours were available. I really want the green now.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
I originally ordered a green but was shipped the blue. The blue is really nice but I still went and ordered the green anyway. The green is the nicest looking in my opinion, but the blue is a very close second.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] megazone23:
Blue looks nice which I got, but if you're going to use a case, doesn't matter at all. I'm using a blue slider case, no one actually knows my phone is indeed blue.

I would prefer White as the MIX2 I got for my wife, but anyway won't see that when in a case.

If you're not planning to use a case, don't feel bad when it gets a cracked corner or screen when dropped, it's just a phone will be replaced sooner or later.

[Nook Touch General] PixieD:
Hello,

I've spent most of my evening searching through threads to figure out some answers and couldn't find all of them, so I apologize if this was posted somewhere and I missed it.

I have some relatively minor vision issues, but they make reading difficult & even harder when there is glare. I did research and found that the Nook Simple Touch or Simple Touch w/ Glow were the best options because they didn't have an LCD and were easiest to mod.

1. I often use text-to-speech when reading & Ideally, I'd like to use Mycroft AI. It's available to build in Android studio & compile into an apk, will it be doable to enable text-to-speech and use Mycroft for the voice?

2. For my purposes, which is a better idea, NST or NSTG?

3. (I Found threads on this but was confused) After rooting, can I still buy books in the marketplace?

I am completely new at all of this and really appreciate everyone's patience and time.

D
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
With USB Audio enabled TTS certainly can work, at least the Pico TTS does. I'd be amazed if the Mycroft AI can be compiled as an app to run on Android 2.1 (and first you need to run down an old version of Android Studio...). But it might work.

There's no real difference between the NST and NSTG except the obvious one. They now even use the same firmware. Used NSTGs tend to run a little bit more, but you might find a good deal.

Simple rooting (like with NookManager) will still allow you to purchase books from B&N. You should register the device before rooting.

Be aware, the batteries provide long life when the devices are used as marketed. USB Audio uses considerable power. I listen to a time-shifted NPR program on Sunday mornings for about 2 hours. Now that means WiFi is also running, but I see a battery drop of nearly 30% during that time.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 3mutts:
Okay I was able to modify /system on android Q beta 2 just fine but on beta 3 I cant do it no matter what I do. Everything I do either results in "invalid argument" or "/dev/block/sda7 is read only" Heres what Ive done so far:

1. Magisk Canary

2. Boot into TWRP and try mounting there

3. Flashing Q again but with -w

4. Custom Kernel

5. Issuing any mount commands I can think of

6. Resetting back to Pie then updating to Q again

7. Relocking the bootloader and then unlocking it again but this time with unlock_critical (for some reason the phone wouldnt let me do unlock_critical before)

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I need access to /system to edit build.prop to get rid of the navbar and to disable carrier provisioning

Also yes I have verified root works, as my kernel manager can modify kernel related settings
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sharkie405:
I don't have a "fix" for it unfortunately, but I just wanted to let you know you're not alone. I've experienced the same thing. I tried Magisk Stable and Canary, FX Explorer, Root Explorer, ES Explorer, and a couple of other root file explorers, several busy boxes "versions," setting SELinux to permissive, upgrading to beta file explorers in the Play Store, and on and on. Regardless of what I tried, nothing work to make /system read-writable. I can only assume it's a new security "feature" in Q that apps devs are going to have adjust for. I've left a few messages with some of the devs letting them know about the issue.

Unfortunately, in situations like this, most non-XDA, Play Store devs wait until the new version is official before they bother "fixing" their apps. That means it could be several months from now before it works again, unless it's a bug in Q3, which is entirely possible. If that's the case, the maybe we'll get lucky and Q4 will fix it.

In the meantime, coming to that realization was enough for me to go back to Pie. I've got to be able to make manual changes to /system.

I had a really hard time when I tried to Google search this issue. This issue specifically to do with the Android Q beta 3 doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere that I came across. I'm going to subscribe to this thread. We can use it to post updates on this issue as new betas come out, or if someone actually finds a way to "fix" it.

Someone mentioned MiX explorer in that thread, did you try that one. I think I looked for it when I was on Q, but couldn't find it. I don't think I checked XDA though. In any event, they posted a link to it. If you're still on Q, try it out and let us know.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sharkie405:
It's due to a fundamental change in Android Q. Topjohnwu had an article explaining it in more detail somewhere. I wouldn't hold your breath for it to be worked around any time soon. You'll have to make due with Magisk modules to accomplish whatever it is you want to do.

I can try and help you out with whatever it is you want to do, either by giving you a link to a module that already exists, or helping you create your own.

I think you should stay with MIUI (but this version is better) + debloating your device with this tool (you can remove everything - I already did it and installed Google apps via the playstore)

i got my Redmi Note 7 (global) 3 days ago. I thought in advantage that i will go for LOS (or similar) as soon as possible. But my opinion has changed...

The most important thing in my opinion is debloating, as mentioned above. You don't need root or an unlocked bootloader btw.

In addition i use Nova Launcher Prime and the Playstore App "Notch Notifications for MIUI".

I'm very satisfied so far... MIUI definitely adds some super useful functions that i missed on my recent phones like Mi A1 with Android One.

[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] lostivb:
Lately ive been messing around with viper4android, bit the sound loses some quality, is there a way to increase the volume output to a headset?
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] ZhekaJ:
No root

Volume booster app in Play Store.

Rooted

This increases Volume of SPEAKER, HEADPHONE. IN-CALL This is battery friendly no additional apps is reqd.

For this you need a rooted MOTO and any file manger with root-access and Text Editor. I have root explorer.

Go to Root -> System -> etc -> scroll down to mixer_paths.xml ->Scroll down and tweak the values of "RX1 Digital Volume" value, RX2 Digital Volume" value, RX3 Digital Volume" value to any number below 95 ( default is 84 ).But any value more than 92 resulting in distortion of sound, I have set it to 89,

<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="89" />

<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="89" />

<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="89" />

Similarly by tweaking DEC1 Volume" value, DEC2 Volume" value you can improve in-call volume. I have set this to 89. Default 84.

<ctl name="DEC1 Volume" value="89" />

<ctl name="DEC2 Volume" value="89" />

After tweaking the file set permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
