[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] dhjean:
I was counting the stock OneUI launcher as one of my two (and I use a home switcher app to switch between them). But if this were really a problem, wouldn't a ton of people have it?

I wonder if that could be it. But, just like the other possible solutions, I've had PIA running on my phones for years without this problem. I wonder if setting the Play Store to bypass the VPN in PIA's per app settings might help.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] PatrickRiccardo:
I guess you're on the May patch? It basically ****ed the phone..
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] dhjean:
I am on the May patch, and it doesn't seem to be an improvement, for sure. I believe, though, that my Play Store issue predates the May patch.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] elite-fusion:
Im on the may patch, no issues here

I've had this issue before and the way I solved it is by making sure that whatever items I disabled in AdHell or PackageDisabler, to re-enable them and then restart the phone and see if the issue is still present. It was not for me, so I went down the list of disabling things again one by one. All is good now. Unfortunately I am unsure which package was it that was causing the issue, but definitely a samsung one if I am not mistaken.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] dhjean:
Thanks. I'll give this a try. I only had disabled Flipboard, Game Launcher, and a dictionary. I've re-enabled those. They don't seem like critical apps, but it's worth a try.

I appreciate the input.

I can`t precise if it began after the last update or before. But I`ve already made a hard factory reset and it didnt solve the problem. I also turned off all Smart assistance features, with no luck. The worse of all is during a call, because the screen keeps active no matter what.

[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Mixlator:
Hello,

Thought my phone uses a lot of space for some unwanted/useless apps for me, so i'm wondering which apps did you uninstalled ?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] wpscully:
I disabled "Data Transfer Tool", which now shows zero bytes used. Also "Device Health Services", again, it shows zero bytes used. Wallpapers... Sound Amplifier... Pixel Tips... Google Connectivity Services (I use a different VPN)... Chrome (I use Firefox). There's a lot less to delete/disable, and your overall experience may be better to just leave well enough alone. If you do delete or disable, keep track of what you do so you can undo it.

You might be more interested in checking the permissions each app requests. I'm always surprised at the number of applications which want microphone and camera (example: Firefox). I'll turn those permission off whenever I can. I'd like to trust everyone but it seems perhaps that's a naive view of the security landscape in which we live. :(

After gaining root, I went ahead and removed digital wellbeing, google music, google movies with titanium backup app. Must be a placebo effect, but I feel my phone being snappier and smoother overall. Especially with EX kernel.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] GuestK00262:
How did you remove wellbeing? Ive used titanium back uo but the app returns on reboot.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] nickmv:
You could always just disable usage access. That essentially neuters the app.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] GuestK00262:
Yeah I've done that. Still would be nice to remove it completely though.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] zonedgold:
Basically I.

1. Removed Digital wellbeing's updates.

2. Launched Titanium- granted root - made a backup of Digital wellbeing - then uninstalled it.

3. Rebooted.

4. Profit.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] GuestK00262:
I didnt have any updates to uninstall but it still returns after reboot. You sure its gone?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] zonedgold:
100% gone. Doesn't show up in the settings menu either.

How do you personally grant root? I'm assuming that you are using majisk?

[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] GuestK00262:
Yeah magisk and i granted titanium root permission so not sure why.

Edit so apparently titanium is trash. Used another basic free app and worked perfectly first time.

Do you know of any more apps thag are safe to remove?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] zonedgold:
Ahh fair enough glad you worked that out.

Like I mentioned I only took off google music, google video, and I believe google driving (some car thing) and digital wellbeing.

Might uninstall Google Duo as well. Still wondering if I'll ever use that.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] kmarius31:
I disabled the following apps with the debloater module from Magisk. Even though I checked what these apps do before removing them, I can't remember what e.g. ims is or does.

Things that shouldn't be removed:

google photos, if you want to access fotos from the camera app
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] zonedgold:
By removing Live Wallpaper are you able to use the wallpaper chooser ?

I can set wallpapers with the wallpaper app that you access by long tapping empty space on the launcher.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levinas69:
Hi Everyone,

So, FireTV Gen1 went into a factory reset. After reset, the device boots, accesses network and Amazon account. Then the awful introduction video plays. After the video stops playing, then it returns to the start screen with no option but to restart the #(*#%$*! introductory video all over again.

This has been running Kodi for ages, so there is no unlocked bootloader or custom recovery. I've tried to force recover with Alt-PrtScr-I with no luck. I'm connected to a US IP via VPN, and I'm using a vanilla US Amazon account.

Any thoughts about how to force recovery?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi, I am an owner of a Samsung galaxy s10. I've heard so much things about viper4android and I'm big on music and how my sound system sounds in my car. I would love to have the app but have no interest to root my device if that's even possible. Is there any way at all that someone might know how I can get it without root? I would really love to have this app. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Player04:
No way you can get viper4android without rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] vibrantliker:
Just root, It;s simple and so worth it for V4A!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nobrain3000:
And that's working without a selinux kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Melissakis:
I used to be a big fan of V4A back then in my rooting days with the Galaxy Note 4. It did sounded better than the stock setup, but it's 2019 and rooting a new phone (especially a Samsung) does not sound like a good idea to me.

Instead, I bought Creative Labs Super X-Fi amp, USB Audio Player Pro and paired them with my Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro. It's an expensive setup, but now I hear music from my S10 like never before with a mobile device. The amp has the "Holographic sound" technology which is great, but even if you use it merely as an amp, it's great. IMO, this setup is much better that the quad DAC my previous LG G6 had.

Just pay attention, right now the USB Audio Player Pro is the only player compatible with the S10 paired with the X-Fi amp. S10s have a known issue with their USB port that does not allow the X-Fi to work with any other music player for the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] salsa1976:
Hi so plz excuse the fact that I'm still tryin to get my head round this S10 ... So if I buy the usb audio player how does it work ? As other than my headphones I use it with an aux jack into my separated from fone cheers m8
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Melissakis:
Hi, I did not understand correctly. You buy the USB Audio Player Pro and you use it just like any other music app, it's the same.

What's different about this app is that it has its own android driver, that bypasses Android's drivers, and it gives a better output. This is the only app that allows the USB Amplifier I bought (the Creative Super X-Fi amp) to work properly until now.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] salsa1976:
Thank you for explaining for me nice 1 m8
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Mumenoon:
Hello Everyone..

What happened: my phone was suddenly stuck/freezed. I switched it off for a reboot but it never came up again. Now I am stuck with a black screen. The phone was not dropped, not exposed to water.Already tried:Power button short & power button for 10sec / 20sec ...Volume down & power buttonLeave it for dischargeCharging it over a long time (with original 1+ charger)Connect it to PC (does not recognize the phone)Nothing worked and I cannot access recovery mode.What it still does: it just vibrates occasionally when I press power or volume down & power. However, it stays black, no boot logo/splash screen. Very infrequently (maybe every 10th on/off) there is a short blink of a red warning sign, which i was able to record. It says the "battery is too low, charge for a while before..." even when charged for a long time!

When I go to alarms menu most of the time it does not show any alarm and don't allow me to create a new one(I can choose the time but it doesn't save it). I have to try many times to make it work.

Am I the only one with this bug?

The only alarm related bug I've seen on Q beta 3 are that the next alarm shown in the notification shade is shown as the end of the current calendar event (if one is in progress) or the start of the next calendar event. The next alarm shown on the AOD is also the current time +5 minutes.

I haven't missed any alarms to my knowledge.

Hello! Has anyone tried to update this firmware from SM-G9758(China Mobile) on SM-G9750(Honk Kong)?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diztinct:
Hi. I have a Lenovo TB-X304F that I unlocked and flashed successfully with TWRP, but I screwed up and then managed to brick the device. It now goes to black screen after showing the Lenovo boot image briefly. However I can still access Fastboot and Recovery.

I did backup Boot, Data and System before all this and I have restored these succesfully via TWRP, but the device still won't boot and is stuck on the black screen.

I want to flash stock rom again, and I have downloaded "Lenovo Tab4 A10-TB-X304F_S000038_170703_ROW_QFIL" which is available from some websites, and this is meant to be flashed with QFIL. The problem is that when connecting the tablet, QFIL is always stuck with port "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E (COM21)" which results in the error "Download fail:Switch to EDL fail Failed to switch to Emergency Download mode" when I try to download the firmware. It seems some have solved this issue by modifying a USB cable, but I'm unsure if this would actually help me.

Can anyone help me resolve this, please? Could it be possible to get a TB-X304F backup that perhaps works, when for some reason my backup doesn't? Does somebody have a stock rom that can be flashed using ADB or TWRP?

Very grateful for any help with this. Thanks.

Hi folks

Just moved on to the Tilt from my trusty wizard 100.

all is good except that unlike the wizard the tilt does not turn off the radio after a program request and uses it.

Example my weather program updates at certain times of the day - it normally would fire up the radio (EDGE or GPRS) and when it is done it disconnects..and all is good.

The tilt does not want to do this... Pesky really as when I awoke this morning It had been on for 6-7 hrs or more.. bummer anyone know of an app or a setting????

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Chambs:
Just bought a Mi A2 Lite, but instead of the expected Android One, i have Lineage OS in it.

That by itself wouldn't be a problem, i wanted to install LineageOS on my phone for a long time, but never got myself to do the whole rooting process.

My problem is, i bought this one with the only purpose of playing PokemonGO and Ingress, both of which doesn't currently run on it, which seem to be related to my device failing SafetyNet test.

Anybody have any idea how should i proceed? Maybe re-locking the Bootloader is enough or do i have to fully root it? If so, how do i do it?

Extra info:

Bootloader seems to be unlocked, but doesn't seems to be rooted.

IMEI from box, phone (using *#06#) and back of the phone are the same, and all of them check as being an Mi A2 lite on mi.com.

Pulling it's build.prop it gives:

ro.product.name=daisy and

ro.product.device=daisy_sprout

But doing "fastboot getvar all" i got:

"product:sakura" so it might be a Redmi 6 pro.

Returning is not an option, since it's not damaged i can only trade for another of the same model, which the shopkeeper showed me at least 2 more with the same OS, so fixing this one would be the easier solution.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] thorin0815:
You bought a Mi A2 Lite and got a Redmi 6 Pro. This alone is reason enough to withdraw the purchase and to get your money back. If the shop knows that he sells counterfeit devices, I personally would even think about taking legal actions

And don't relock the bootloader while any custom rom or rooted stock is installed , you would brick your device.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Chambs:
I live in Brazil, we don't have official Xiaomi stores, we get the phones from importers that prolly bought it in Paraguay or such.

I can't return it because it's not damaged and i tried to trade for another A2, but all the A2 Lite there and even of neighbor stores had the same LineageOS in it.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] thorin0815:
Of course you can return a fraud device without any other reason.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] GDFI:
I wonder if they actualy found a way to flash the daisy firmware to a Redmi 6 Pro or if they just spoofed the build.prop of a Redmi 6 Pro's LineageOS. You can check if you have daisy's or sakura's partition table from adb (no need to use su for that):

adb shell "ls /dev/block/by-name |grep -e boot -e system -e vendor"

If you have a Mi A2 Lite firmware, you shoud have a/b slots for each partition like this :

aboot_a
aboot_b
boot_a
boot_b
system_a
system_b
vendor_a
vendor_b

Otherwise in the Redmi 6 Pro case it should give this :

aboot
boot
system
vendor

If you're actually on a A2 Lite firmware, you can just clean flash the stock and you'll be on a Mi A2 Lite; but if it's Sakura's firmware, it has rollback protection and you have no way to actually go to a Mi A2 Lite FW, and in this case I don't know how they did with the IMEIs. Here, if you have actually no way to return the phone, to fix safety net, you would need to install TWRP and correctly install magisk (the Redmi 6 Pro one ofc) and eventually correctly install LineageOS without all the daisy bs.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Chambs:
By doing

adb shell "ls /dev/block/by-name |grep -e boot -e system -e vendor"

i got an error saying that the folder didn't exist, but by exploring the folders a little and doing

adb shell "ls /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name |grep -e boot -e system -e vendor"

I got:

aboot
abootbak
boot
system
vendor

So i guess It's actually a Redmi 6 Pro?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] GDFI:
Yep, it's definitely a Redmi 6 Pro.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
How exactly did you "factory reset" in TWRP? In the Wipe section, there is the default option (which only wipes user data, cache, and Dalvik - the only wipe you need most of the time, says it right on the screen) or did you go into advanced options and do something else?

What ROM were you on when this happened?

What other ROMs did you try exactly?

This has been a disappointing experience. I just had my Pixel 3 display probably destroyed. It is flashing uncontrollably and I have a trip planned tomorrow.

5. Better selfie camera and video recording chops.

6. Headphone jack?
