[Google Pixel 3a XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ScottIsMyName:
Just got my phone today. Updated to latest software on stock first (October patch level), unlocked bootloader, installed latest magisk (v20). Uploaded boot.img from October factory image, downloaded patched image from phone to PC. Used fastboot to flash to current boot slot. (Tried with and without the boot suffix). I keep getting into a bootloop. After 3 reboots it stays in fastboot with a message no valid slot to boot. I can fix by reflashing the factory image without the -w. Magisk was never installed so there's no corruption. I'm using the latest version of the sdk tools (v29).

Can anyone help?
[Google Pixel 3a XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nsx2brz:
Try switching to the beta channel and install the latest beta update?
[Google Pixel 3a XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ctfrommn:
Yes, if youre not on the latest Canary builds I dont think it will work. Or you can just flash a custom kernel and call it good.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sic0048:
That was true when the stable Magisk version was 19.3. However stable version 20 should work on Android 10. Of course people are still free to use the beta or canary version too, but it's not a requirement anymore.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ctfrommn:
Good to know, thank you for clarifying.

Any idea about a non-expensive case which supports squeeze, has a lip around the screen, actually protects the phone...and isn't slippery?

Google's cloth case is $40. I don't see others advertising their cases support this feature.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] murso74:
I have a Spigen with some fake carbon fiber that was 12 bucks for my 2 xl. Pretty sure I saw one for the 3a also. I'm going to go with one of the peel type cases for the 3a, since I'm trying to shed some phone size
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] dzr:
Thanks. I don't see it listed in the features, so I emailed Spigen.
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] pbanj:
anything that isnt super hard or metal should allow for squeeze.
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] optimummind:
I'm using the ESR clear case with metal kickstand and the squeeze feature works perfectly. I have the sensitivity set to max sensitivity.
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] dzr:
Thanks
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] krabman:
Going back to the flagship 3s almost anything works with edge sense, it's very difficult to make a case stiff enough to impede it.
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] mapatton8201:
I bought a ESR Essential Zero case off Amazon for $11. It is a clear thin case that allows edge support.
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] Jaxidian:
I have this Toppix minimal hard case and it works well with Active Edge. I actually really like this case a lot. If you're looking for a minimal hard case to buy quickly until the accessory market matures, you could do MUCH worse than this! Buttons are exposed, grip is good (it's a "soft grippy" hard plastic), and the camera has a little extra protection around it. Only criticism is that the corners are raised a tad on the front to provide a bit more protection for the screen (lots of minimal cases are doing this these days, which is a great idea that doesn't really add any bulk).

I also have this TPU case that works well with it.
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] fenonce:
Do you like that TPU case? I feel like those carbon fiber fake TPu cases would look cheap or feel bad, but maybe I am wrong. Also is the other case even offering any protection against drops?
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] locuturus:
It's not cheap but I just got the black Moment case and I like it. Sturdy, grippy, supports edge sense, full lip around the screen, etc. That might or might not be worth the $40 price alone but the lens support is a big deal for me. I only wish it was partly transparent to show off the almost purple but what can you do *\("/)/*
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] spiralspirit:
I have the Spigen Tough Armor for the XL and can confirm Active Edge works. You can configure the squeeze sensitivity in the settings to make it work better for you so there aren't accidental activations.

Tudia merge for $11.49 works fine

[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] bigw34:
I bought the Ringke Fusion case & Cyrill ciel (made by Spigen) & both work fine with active edge. I bought both on Amazon.
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] toneneuewin:
I've tried three different cases on my 3a and XL. This one is my favorite one right now. It's clear on the back and matte on the sides.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] neophyte.vii:
I am merely interested in removing a few pixels from the bottom of the start menu / indicator bar at the top of the screen. See, I use Retro Clock w/ a sweet background and a battery bar indicator [wkTask, excellent mgr app] at the top and it would be fiine to see just the sweet minimal gui..

If there already exists a way to remove the top bar, perhaps one of you should post the name of an app ;]

Otherwise, if devs or hackers know a way to shave pixels off an app [by messing with the gui api calls, etc] I would be into hacking together an autorun python script.. Or transparent bar would be good too.. man.. too much to customize. ;]

Cheers,

`n
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
lots of options exist in this area including the removing of the bar and or reducing its size and or making it transparent. Please either google or use search of this site at the top right of this page. You will get a lot of hits. Keywords "Top bar" or "Tob task bar" or "start bar" etc.

Thanks,

CG
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] neophyte.vii:
Minimal for the win

FYI PMC TodayShrink will remove the pesky bottom bar.. but the hardware soft keys can still be assigned and pressed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
those can be deactivated as well. use search. These new threads clog up the forum.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigevs:
I think you are looking for VJToggleTodayiialpha
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
Dangit!! Don't do that. If this guy doesn't use search we will be answering his questions from here to enternity or have new threads like this one started covering old info. It clogs up the forum. The idea of give them the answer and but tell them to search next time actually hurts this forum. I know it feels good to be helpful but do so by directing them with search topics.

Like right now at the time of this post just 7 topics down in this forum is a thread about top bar. And 2 pages back is another and it keeps going and going. before long the forum will be crowded again with repeat of of information that keeps development threads slowed.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mhrc4:
welcome to using a forum, what are you, new? people are going to have questions, you don't want to answer them and help, then don't do it, but don't come in here and complain because someone has a question, even if it has been asked/answered multiple times.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
Dude shut up. Newb's are people like you. You've been here for a few months and going to try and tell someone who has been here for a few years how to work the site. Sit back, stick the pacifier in your mouth and keep to yourself. And by all means don't try and tell someone who has been here that long anything about site rules. What you have to say may be correct for the sites you normally go to but read the forum rules here and you will find them to be drastically different.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Synned:
Watch out guys, it's the big bad forum monkey :eek:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PLUKK:
the end of the world as we know it

clog up the forums huh? define a clog....does it mean wasting your time crying on the forum or getting on with your life after you have used the forum for whatever you want...whenever you are ready let me know ill mail you some tissues for your meaningless tears...i gues you are the first person to cry about someone not searching first ....being a so called noob .... by the way what is a noob is it someone who inexperianced ...who maybe would not know what exactly to search for...maybe if you just not respond the NOOB would then search...anyways quit wasting your time cuz this is the last time im wasting mine
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ROCOAFZ:
Maybe he searched and didn't find what he is looking for or couldnt' get the wording right ;)

It's happened to me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] newone757:
well i have the smae question, ive searched and used vjtoggle but i dont like it too much.

i want to hide the top bar from the today screen but not in other apps. like the fullscreen function in Wisbar advance desktop (which im not using anymore so i need an alternative). im already using that dcino (sp?) file in my startup folder to hide the bottom bar from today screen

any options??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spencepu3:
although this kid is wrong for starting a new thread when he could have searched to find the answer, it doesnt mean that you have to respond like this....the forum is here to help people gain answers to their questions, the quickest way to do that is to ANSWER THE QUESTION, quit being an a$$
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
The quickest way is not always the best way. Answer the question only goes to encourage the behavior. So, it is a quick solution with a condratictive affect. Sounds like a lot of the newb's are a little light in their louffers today.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Hugo381:
Dude, talk about clogging up the forum and making a thread longer than a couple of replies. If you would have kept quiet and shed tears in your pillow instead, this thread would have been over a page ago.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deepthroat:
My vote goes with you curious george ...it is too bad that some people could not simplify things what they want and failed to understand the existence of Search utility ;)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moodasmood:
This is my code.

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
InputStream inputStream = p.getInputStream();
OutputStream outputStream = p.getOutputStream();

outputStream.write("screencap\n".getBytes());
outputStream.flush();
sleep(1000);
byte[] b = new byte[inputStream.read()];
inputStream.read(b);
System.out.println(b.length);

But b is empty.

I can get back by running screencap with adb. And I don't need to save to disk; I need to identify the image content.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Biermann:
Hi,

If you have a Galaxy Watch without Samsung Pay enabled, is it enough to change the CSC with SDB (in my case to Australia) to enable it, or do you need to flash an Australian firmware as well?

Also, can you manage Samsung Pay on the watch with a non-Samsung android phone, like Huawei P20 (e.g configure payment cards)?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] tengtengvn:
I don't know the answer to the first question but I'm using SPay in the S3F and OnePlus 6T with out any issue. It's the only way to get MST payment without buying a SS phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] peter7:
I tried to follow your procedure but I`m getting always a "failed to connect" message between PC and watch
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] ca_guri01:
The fix is to go into C:\Users\{USER}\.tizen and ether delete that folder or delete the items in it. This changes your key to a new one which make the watch prompt you to accept the new key.

Make sure hidden files are shown in windows Explorer, if this thing doesn't work, then instal the tizen studio, and that will bring the .tizen folder in tha above-mentioned location, and then you can delete that folder
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] peter7:
Hi thanks - on my PC is no tizen folder ?

Tizen studio ? I uderstand I have to install it on my PC ? Which version - any link?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] peter7:
Ok - now I`m a step further...I`m connected

launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration - when I say enter I will get "either wrong written or could not befound"
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] AIKON1989:
How can I know which region my watch is set on? I'm from Mexico and I can not use samsung pay, the model of my watch is SM-R800. Regards
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] peter7:
BUT how about my carrier T Mobile ...will he still work ...because now my phone is saying we are no longer in Germany no now we are in for example Switzerland
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] ca_guri01:
When you do the step 9, it will show the installed csc on your watch, and then you can scroll up or down and select your desired region csc
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] peter7:
Great now I switched from Germany to Swiss BUT they do not accept german cards .....................

Any other country which will accept german cards ????
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] peter7:
Thanks for your help i am almost Finished but I'm getting the answer despite my card is confirmed by the bank from Samsung pay App confirm your card
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] tomaspavelka18:
Hello . Curve cards now support Samsung pay. Do you think that is a way to get working Samsung pay in not supported country? On galaxy watch LTE?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] SPK2k12:
Mine is also LTE and it seems we are out of luck. I use Samsung Pay on my phone but it seems I will not be able to change the CSC region cause it is a US LTE model. :(

If any wiz here know a way, let us know!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] peter7:
So curve will not work?

---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 AM ----------

You can definitely change the region on your watch but if the watch will accept curve ?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] tomaspavelka18:
I think that Curve is win for people which there bank doesn't not support Samsung pay. So they get curve card (where they add there cards) and curve card add to Samsung pay.

Another case is that someone is in country what does not support Samsung pay. So there is a way that you change the CSC region and add curve card. That should work also.

Worst case is if you have LTE model of your watch, there is ( I think) no way to change CSC region and work with cellular data normally.

I hope that I am wrong about the last one and someone correct me and show me way how to get SP working in not supported country and still use my tariff from local operator.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] peter7:
I'm in Germany and changed via csc the region of my watch. My phone Tarif is German. I think you are right.

I tried to combine several cards with sp but without success. So I assume that curve will work either.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] tomaspavelka18:
Well today I was curious and I change csc on my galaxy watch LTE with working esim (tmobile). From TZM (Czech tmobile) to AUT( Switzerland)

Before I did backup of watch. After change of CSC -> Samsung Pay shows up. I expected that. What I did not expect was that after restoring my backup the esim setup will work like before and it is.

I tried add some cards to Samsung pay but no succes. My bank doesn't support that.

Now I'm waiting for my curve card. It should work with SP.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] SPK2k12:
I have an LTE version from US but the ZTO code fro Brazil does not show. Was that a similar case as yours? If so, how was the process? I know my bank accept Samsung Pay here, since I use it on my phone already.Let me know.

Cheers,
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] tomaspavelka18:
After step 9 watch showed me lots of CSC, AUT included. I followed instructions from page 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] SPK2k12:
After step 9 mine only shows CSC codes for specific US carriers... too bad for me :/ had some hopes after you mentioned your being an LTE as well.

Thanks anyway!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sony raj:
Can you please let me know if it's worth installing Samsung pay as there is no MST in Galaxy watch and I'm not sure whether all swiping machine support NFC here in Bangalore, need your opinion mate.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sony raj:
when i run command launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration it says successfully launched but nothing happens on my Galaxy Watch verion R800XXU1DSL1 tizen 4.0.0.7
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Mynthia:
Hi! I'm from Germany and changed my csc yesterday to AUT. Barclaycard gave me an registration failure. What means Curve Cards? I only found a british one, which includes more than one card. Do you mean this one?

I thought to order a German Paypack Amerikan Express Visa Card shoud solve the problem. Made anyone experience with this? And after registration was the payment in Germany successfully?

And thank you ca_guri01 for your guide!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] tomaspavelka18:
Yes I mean British card the curve.

Curve (also known as the Curve card) is a payment card that aggregates multiple payment cards through its accompanying mobile app/ allowing user to make payments and withdraws from a single card.

For me it took 6 days to get the card. Registration was easy.

You need some card what is supported by samsung pay. After u get pass this step u will be able to pay everywhere.

I don't have any experience with German Paypack Amerikan Express Visa Card.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] thompsonmax:
Hello everyone. I am new here. As I understood we can use Samsung Pay, am I right? Which App should I install? Thanks ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] congusto:
[MENTION=4404903]Mynthia[/MENTION]: AFAIK Samsung Pay has not been introduced yet in Germany, so German cards will not work. What you could try is apply for an English Curve Blue card (it's free), link your German card to it (that's how Curve cards work) and change your CSC to BTU (UK Unbranded). That should work.

Of course, if there's a company in Switzerland that provides cards with a similar concept, you can stick with the CSC you have.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] yager01:
Hello, please help me :( I would like to change my CSC to BTU but I can't. Everything is ok until when I use the long command : "sdb shell launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration" When I entered it the CMD show me "… successfully launched" BUT on the watch nothing happen.. I don't understand why.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] congusto:
Bad news about the Curve card supporting Samsung Pay for international Curve card users. Appartently Curve has disabled Samsung Pay support for non UK users last month. I got my Curve card yesterday. Adding the card to Samsung Pay goes fine until the registration gets rejected by Curve. I found this post on their Curve community forum, posted last month:

"Curve support told me that at the beginning it was possible to add Curve to the Samsung pay for the international customers as well, right now they disabled that feature. So these people who already added Curve can still use it, but if you will remove it and wants to add it again you won’t be able to do it.

They mentioned that in 2020 they will launch internationally."

I guess we'll have to wait. Bummer.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] congusto:
Could it be that your watch got upgraded to the latest firmware, recently? In the latest firmware you can't change the CSC using csc-manager anymore (you can launch it, but nothing happens, just as you descibed). Ifo so, you have to downgrade first to a former firmware using NetOding, first.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] nicohak:
The same thing also in GPay.

I can't use anymore Curve card in Google Pay.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Mynthia:
Curve Card Support for Germany:

Unfortunately, support for Samsung Pay is currently only available to customers in the UK.

Rest assured, we’re working on rolling out Curve with Google Pay, Samsung Pay and your wearable devices such as Garmin, Wena and Fitbit in the next few months.

We’ll send updates as soon as this is available in your country! Stay tuned for any announcements made and keep an eye on your inbox.

hey is there a way to get this to work on R810 with Tizen 4.0.0.7. Is it safe to downgrade and which image can i use then?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] congusto:
Yes, it works the same as for the R800.

The firmware to look for would be R810XXU1CSG4.

Flash it with NetOdin, change the CSC to BTU as described elsewhere.

Please realise at the moment there's no credit card supporting Samsung Pay for foreign users yet. Until there is, it doesn't make sense to change the CSC if your goal is to use Samsung Pay only.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] .exe82:
i wanted to give prepaid financial services a try(*h*t*t*p*s*//prepaidfinancialservices.com/en/samsung-pay), is it safe that this is not for foraign users, where do i get this information from?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] congusto:
It's best to contact them (and let us know, please). Could you please also check their fees for putting money on the card, while you're at it?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] mdaamir1989:
As mentioned here in one of the answers, samsung has disabled changing regions using launch manager on versions 4.0.0.7. You need to downgrade your firmware first, then perform the sdb steps to change region and it works flawlessly. I did this yesterday and everything works. Let me know if you need any help :)

Well , i changed the region to Australia, my SBI rupay debit card is not getting added. Looks like an issue with SBI maybe ?

Have you added rupay cards by any chance ?

No, i don't have any rupay card, better try to a get new visa or master card from bank
