[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I am on stock P with all the updates and have never had that happen either. I think it's slightly disingenuous to say "it's a common problem" with the device. Yes, there have been reports but not all that many. If you're rooted with a module of some sort you are excluded from commenting. lol J/K naturally but if it's really a problem then just RMA the phone and get another. It happens very infrequently. BTW, it just happened to my sister on her Note 8. Completely unresponsive and had to go to recovery mode to fix it. So it's not limited to any one device.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] N3utro:
I've had a Google Nexus 5x for years before switching to the Pixel 3a. After the official support was ended i switched to multiple custom roms that some cool people in xda were offering to maintain security updates and allow to run on updated versions of android.

Most of it was working great but i've had problems with outlook mail sync and bank app which uses the phone cryptographic systems (TPM). These problems would remains across multiple roms. After searching about this I even found out that other people using other custom roms had the same problem on different phones.

I've downloaded Android Studio and used an emulated Nexus 5x to test and all the problems were gone. This means the problem was that the people who made the custom roms didn't correctly integrated all the phone systems, just the main ones.

When i reported these problems with logs and everything to the custom rom creators they indeed acknowledged the problem but none could ever fix it. My guess is that it required some proprietary informations that the manufacturer would not share because it was involving sensitive/confidential cryptographic data.

So that's what my previous post was about: if you want to have the most problem free experience with android, using a Pixel 3a with its stock rom is the way to go. Unless the additional things you get from the custom rom and the rooting are absolutely essential for your usage and there is no other way you can do it with stock, i would refrain from doing it if you dont want to pull your hairs and loose a huge amount of time over some weird compatibility problems one day.

After a clean flash of the August factory image I have not been able to recreate the bug which caused my phone to become unresponsive.

I am rooted with magisk and have been slowly adding back apps.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] sic0048:
It happened again for me yesterday. I woke up to find the phone's ambient display showing a time several hours in the past and totally unresponsive. Just for grins, I plugged it into my computer and it was viable. I didn't have time to play with ADB or anything like that, but it definitely supports my hypothesis that this is a software issue (some high level OS bug that doesn't effect the lower level functionality) and not a hardware issue. If it happens over a weekend, I'll try to pull some log files, but I can't take the time to do that on a typical morning.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] creeve4:
What is your setup? Stock (what build), rooted, Xposed, etc?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] smartuser8:
I think it's better for all of us to wait 3-4 days for the Android 10 upgrade and see what we got.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Why would you think it's a high level OS bug and not a bug in one of the apps you're running? By extension, if it were an OS bug would it not affect every device out there and not merely a spattering of users? I'm not sure I understand your reasoning.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] :
Its a well known problem affecting some users regardless of what apps they have installed.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
That I know. But why do you say it's an OS problem which would affect every user?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] :
I didnt.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] smartuser8:
Even if it's app(s) the problem, it's an OS issue. Because any 3rd party app should not have access to the restart/shutdown option in stock Android. That's mean there is a way to restart the phone for an app but the app shouldn't have access to that so = OS fault.

If the OS FORBIDE something and an app can bypass it, the problem is the OS, for me.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
So then it's not a device problem but Android. If you don't think an app can take down a system, drain a battery, cause stuttering, then you haven't been paying attention. Which is it the OS or the device or an app?

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------

Sorry quoted the wrong person.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] smartuser8:
If an app make a specific device (the Pixel 3a) shutdown or whatever, but the same app doesn't do this on an other device. So for me it's not Android fault, it's the Android ROM on the Pixel 3a = the Pixel 3a.

For me:

Android = Android

Specific issue on Pixel 3a stock rom = Pixel 3a, not "Android"

It's too easy to say Android. People here who have shutdown issue installed same apps they used on their previous phone with no issue. So it's specific to the Pixel 3a. If I install an app with no issue on every phone but on one specific model it cause shutdown, of course it's a device issue. Software issue doesn't mean we can't say it's a device issue.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I can't say I've ever heard such convoluted logic. Pick your poison. Either it's the device, the software running it, or an errant app. It's not widespread whatsoever. Try troubleshooting don't you think? Isolate it, reproduce it, then fix it or at least identify it. You can't complain if you haven't tried those things.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] bblzd:
Seems like this issue was fixed after the August update (sleeping bug noted in patch notes) or Android 10. Thankfully no more reports of random shut downs coming, turns out it was software related.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] goo200:
My phone, pixel 3a XL, keeps restarting but only on a specific wifi (eduroam if you know it..). It will not restart if I turn off wifi. The rebooting has occurred on both android 9 and the latest android 10 update. Has anybody experienced this?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] vbetts:
Honestly, this has happened to me a few times both on Android 9 and Android 10. Just thought that it was broken until now when I saw the fix was a hard reset.

This is also my second Pixel 3a.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] goo200:
I've done a hard reset, and it did not fix the problem. I thought it may be a clue that it is this specific university network (eduroam). My phone hasn't restarted anywhere else. It also won't reset if I turn off wifi.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] alperenadalar:
I'm on latest global beta. Phone is not rooted. I'm not using VoLTE (because there is no VoLTE in my village). Mic doesn't work in calls usually. When i end call and recall, it's working. How can i fix it. Hardware is not damaged. Mic works well in video or sound recording. I tried RR Oreo few months ago and there was same issue, but not that often. Is there any other rom which doesn't have this bug?

Sorry for bad English.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] kuapao:
Just FYI, I am sure someone else posted this info elsewhere...but thought I'd share anyway.

I am using xplode's Windows Mobile 6.1 rom (WM6) on my Blue Angel (BA) and decided to play with Google Maps Mobile (GMM) with my TomTom bluetooth gps receiver (TT gps).

I already have TomTom Navigator software (TTN) v6.0.10 running on my BA with the TT gps without any issues: just turn on bluetooth radio on BA, turn on the TT receiver, start the TTN software and use!

Problem: my first attempt at using GMM with "Use GPS" feature on the BA didn't go so smoothly. The message on my GMM was stuck at "Seeking GPS Satellites (0)...".

Here was the solution (which may have been obvious to some, but not to me...since I am new to WM6):

(STEPS 1 through 6 are described in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...ngel_WM6_WizzardSettings_GPS&action=BackLinks)

1. Ensure Bluetooth (BT) radio on BA is ON. Ensure your TT gps is on.

2. In WM6, pair your BA and your TT gps. Make sure the Serial Port service is checked.

3. In WM6, set up an Outgoing COM port for the TT gps. Take note of this COM port (eg. COM6).

4. In WM6, assign a GPS program port (Start > Settings > Connections > External GPS > Programs tab).

5. In WM6, assign the COM port in Step 3 to the GPS hardware port (Start > Settings > Connections > External GPS > Hardware tab). The Baud rate was set to 115200 by default, which I left untouched.

6. In WM6, check "Manage GPS automatically (recommended)" in Start > Settings > Connections > External GPS > Access tab. This was checked by default on mine.

7. Start GMM. In my case, I only am using Wi-Fi, which will cause GMM to give me warning saying it needs a "data connection". If you only plan to use Wi-Fi like I do, just ignore it and the application will work fine.

8. In GMM, ensure that the "My Location Settings" has the radio button "Set by Windows (Via Start -> Settings)" selected. To check, navigate via "Menu > Options > GPS Settings...".

If it all works, you should see the following messages in succession:

"Initializing GPS..."

"Seeking GPS satellites (0)..."

"GPS active (N)..."

where N reflects the number of satellites found.

You can then use the "My Location" feature, just look for the blinking blue dot.

Hope this helps someone.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] prbuis:
its works, perfect.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] April 1:
You need not follow such a complex procedure.

Simply pair your TT BT GPS, set it for serial port and com port to 6.

Go to GMaps, set is GPS setting manually to port 6 with 57600 or higher, thats all. Once you set use GPS on gmaps, all will start working.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] myrol:
OK, but what if I don't have any gps...

How can I make anything to get "my location" working?? Without gps?

It happened again, here I was, late at work just because my phone did not ring.

I miss appointments regularly because of this, and now I am late at work.

I have called Huawei and they said that I need a patch that is included in the new OTA update.

This was over a month ago, and still no f*****ing update.

How come this is happening, what are the engineers doing with our software, this is just not good enough.

Any help welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Paultech:
Hello.

I would like to get the Samsung S9 plus, which comes with Android 8.0 Oreo.

However, the device already has an available upgrade to Pie with a higher binary number, which means if it ever gets upgraded to Pie, there is no way back.

I want the phone mainly because of its camera features (like Video Pro Mode), so I want to be 100% sure that the phone will remain on Oreo, at least until they fix all the mess they made with Pie, maybe when Q comes out.

Is there a way of making 100% sure that your phone won't force the upgrade to Pie on you behind your back?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Paultech:
No one?

Wow, I guess it means it's not possible to avoid the update, which means phone manufactures can change or ruin the phone you spend a lot of money on at will.

Amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] profi_fahrer:
You can set up a local vpn firewall, and then block all connections to the samsung-update servers. Then you will have to wipe the /cache-partition once to remove the downloaded update.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
I believe this was suggested before in another thread (I know this kind of question has been asked before and other suggestions posted. If you want try searching and see other potential ideas that are most likely posted) but you could also try a package disabler and disable any apps related to firmware updates.

How well that works I can not say, but it is also something you can try.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] ekerbuddyeker:
It takes about 30 minutes between downloading and installing. Looks mostly cosmetic but they list a lot of changes. It's such a great device.

Anyone know if there's an automatic way to stop getting any notifications during an excerise routine? Sometimes when I am running, and watching the excercise screen for heart rate etc, ssung health suddenly decides I have 'reached my daily target' or an email comes in, and then it won't switch back to only showing excerise, which is what I want, and if you are running you can't just stop and try to figure it out, or hit back and it thinks you are pausing or ending the run!

Lucky you got the update. We still haven't received anything. Hopefully, it rolls-out soon. Anyhow is there a way to manually update it?

Yes it is easy, install xar csc, there is tutorial on xda for gear s3, same for galaxy watch and you always get updates 1st.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] James160103:
The only way to download and install updates is to open the Galaxy Wearable app.

Then: About watch > Update watch software > Update now.

You can also check out this Reddit post which lists all regions that have already received the update.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Beretta143:
Hi, for those who received the new update you have also received all new face watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] fonix232:
Not exactly true. One can use SamFirm (or any firmware site) to download the latest full image, then use NetODIN to flash the watch (though it's not the easiest solution).

Another, even hackier solution is to use the very well hidden POGO pin port on the back of the watch. It's under a small hatch at the bottom strap's connection point. It matches the pinout of the first Gear S watch, so if you have a dock for that, all you need to do is pull the dock's plastic cover, then the hatch on the watch, and after making sure the pins match, you push down to make connection (and of course put it into recovery mode before doing this). This will make it appear like a regular USB device, and you can use regular ODIN to flash it.

However I couldn't find any uploads of the firmware yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] bober10113:
wow great info man. may i ask for a link to an example of the dock?( amazon or ebay or maybe a model number of the dock?)

thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] James160103:
Here's a link to it. I have it as I own an old Gear S but I don't think it's worth buying.

I also checked on SamFirm and several other websites and the OneUI update hasn't been uploaded anywhere.

https://ebay.to/2HsQ7ry
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] fonix232:
It's a few dollars, and it's good to have for worst case scenarios if you flash your watch a lot. Your average Joe won't need it, but those hardcore modders like me find it a godsend :D

I had a Youtube video about it somewhere but it's lost in my history sadly. I'll try to find it again though.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] bober10113:
I already have the oneui update installed. i just like have a physical way to get out of a jam.

thanks dor the link
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] bober10113:
so basically if i remove the 4 delta screws, the leads should be under the black shroud?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] fonix232:
No. Check that black little plastic rectangle at the bottom of the watch in your picture, partially covered by the hinge. It's really easy to miss if you don't know what you're looking for. Basically take the watch, turn it on its back, and look under the hinge where there's more text on the back (top says SAMSUNG GALAXY WATCH, you need the other side where the serial number, model number, etc. are), and you'll spot that cutout. You need to pop that out, and you'll find 5 POGO pin connectors. It's the same pins as on the Gear S, however I can't remember unfortunately what's the pinout on the watch itself, how to match it with the dock's pins. I'll try to find said video, hopefully I can.

EDIT:

First picture in this post shows the POGO pin pads with the cover hatch removed: https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/sm-r765f-teardown-t3659431
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] James160103:
I'd assume that the POGO pin connectors are located underneath this latch if that is what you mean.

How do I know what CSC my watch has currently?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] fonix232:
As I've already explained above, the R800 (and the R500 series as well) has some issues with SamFirm since they're using the new internal image distribution system (to which SamFirm cannot connect and uses the old interface, which does not work unfortunately).

On a previous page there was a guide linked on how to change the CSC. Follow it, and after launching the command via SDB (Tizen's equivalent of ADB), you'll see a CSC list on your watch, with the current CSC selected.

Nope, no new watch faces to be found after the update.

The only new ones are Fit Future and Fresh.

I got the first one weeks ago.

The latter has only recently become available I believe but was there even before I updated my watch.

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

I changed to XAR yesterday on my SM-R800 (WiFi) and it doesn't seem to have had any (negative) effect at all.

If Samsung Pay isn't available in India then it will be after the CSC change and you should be able to use your cards with it as reported in another thread.

Just remember to do a backup before changing your CSC as your watch will revert to factory defaults.
