You have access to a working device that is same model?

Is it still on stock or custom firmware?

If it's stock what is the software channel in settings/about phone ?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frenchiveruti:
Hello Shadow,

1. Sadly this device is the only one I have, no other one of the same model available, and I find it implausible to find one without expending money.

2. I really don't know what to answer, the firmware I ran into it last time was the stock from the INDEX, specifically this one: Retail Latin America (1GB) - XT1542_OSPREY_RETLA_6.0_MPIS24.65-33.1-2-4_cid12 (Newer Build)

but later I had to come back to the LineageOS to leave the phone working again as it was before. So right now is running a custom ROM from here: https://xdaforums.com/2015-moto-g/development/osprey-lineageos-14-1-hardened-microg-t3767291

3. I should've taken a screen capture of this before, sorry, I don't have that information ATM.

Ok, so I basically scourged the world wide web, english and spanish.

Went through motorola US service, nice lady called Janet tried to help me, no luck.

Went through morotola Argentina Service, scoundrels wanted me to take it to some asshat from the "official service", so screw them.

I'm trying to reach firmware.center but it's been with a bad SSL certificate since this problem started (I'm lucky haha...)

So far I flashed the "modem" files from the stock firmware collections at least 10 times, cleaned the cache another 50, re-intalled both stock and modded ROM firmware and still the phone hasn't exploded, but it doesn't pick any signal.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frenchiveruti:
Hi, the previous message was written at the same time as you did, I will try flashing modem again from stock firmware and see what happens.

Ok, don't want to make the story to long.

My sister is dumb or the carriers are dumb.

My SIM card Claro carrier, works on her phone, and works on my phone.

HER SIM card, allegedly Claro, works on my phone (retail Pixel 3), and DOESN'T WORK on her's.

My bet, she doesn't even know what company she's running.

Thanks all.

The issue was somewhere else.

I didn't realize it because the SIM is a Claro SIM card, and also the App in the Android Menu states "Claro SIM", so was a hard guess.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldgin_:
Hola French y Beruti (haha greatest nickname ever).

Let me tell you that I had a similar problem with the same phone that worked well for years with Movistar and there was no way to use a Claro sim in it (its a no carrier dependant phone, I mean a "liberado" phone.

I spent hours with the Claro customer service and they told me that they could see my phone connected to their network but I had no signal. I tried other companies' sims and all worked fine.

I reconfigured the APN several times and Claro never worked in 4G, 3G, 2G or a half G.

So ... I'm using another company in this phone right now and the Claro sim is in my main phone working as expected (also a liberado one, but Samsung).

End of the story.

So don't burn your brain trying to make it work, Claro is a lost cause for me in this phone.

Maybe your sister can migrate her number to another company and even pay less. They normally use to offer a 50% discount during at least a year if you migrate the number to another company like movistar or personal.

Hope it helps you .

Saludos!!
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frenchiveruti:
Hello!

Turns out the story was even more complicated.

It seems that the phone it's IMEI locked by the EnaCom, because the phone was bought by my mother a few years ago, then I received that phone, and I used it, then my dad, and now my sister gets it.

The first three phone numbers work fine, we don't know why, and the Claro customer service doesn't want to issue an IMEI unlock.

This phone is still kicking and working fine, but for today's companies a perfectly working phone means nothing.

To be clear.

I place my SIM in the phone, signal works.

My dad's SIM card, works too...

My mom's SIM card, also works.

My sister's? Nope. Even though she is also from Claro.

So, it's a nice paper weight.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldgin_:
Hi, if the IMEI were blocked by Enacom you could not use any sim in that phone, not your sim, nor your father's, etc. So it's not a IMEI blocked situation in my opinion. I'm pretty sure that is a problem that Claro doesn't know how to solve, they are pretty incompetent btw, my daughter also had a similar problem with them but with an iPhone. So she migrated her number to Movistar and problem solved. Thank gosh portability exists!

I would suggest your sister to do the same, or at least say to Claro that she will migrate to another company. These words usually solves common problems magically :)

Saludos!

Are there any physical differences between the 900F and 900U devices? I know historically F meant it was Exynos and U was Snapdragon. Didn't find any references of Exynos.

If so, you could theoretically crossflash 900U to 900F? Just curious.
[Security Discussion] Horgyboy:
First of i have the renovate ice rom.. Works like a charm...

For the firewall i used to use AFwall+ but for some reason it wont work on my rom.. Strange.. So i use Avast's firewall.. Works good and no i dont have battery drop with avast as some say.

Its also a smart idea to check "Running Services" in developer options to see what is running and what you can disable.

I also use "Grenify" to stop apps running in the background all the time.

And i use "Service Disabler" to disable tons of bloatware i don't need.

And for last i use "GlassWire" to monitor if any apps or systemfiles tries to connect to the internet so i can disable them.

Used this setup for years and works like a champ...

So my two cents for the day.. Enjoy :)

Any idea for this ?

Thanks

the only time i get stuck on white screen is using opera mini and that only when i am trying to close it (opening alot of graphic intense websites causes the cache to become full and opera takes longer to close) but after a few minutes opera closes and the white screen is gone... Not sure as to what is causing your problem.. any more details? like is it caused by a program?? when you perform a certain task? etc. etc.

Is it possible to use the Shield TV without a Google Account?

Does somebody know a way?

Maybe with a custom firmware?
[Shield Android TV General] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
I want to know that too. I had a foster device but I find not an clearly answer yet. do you?

EDIT:

Perhaps this could help us.

EDIT2:

surprisingly I found a key-kombo to get an special menu. You just need to put ↑ ↑ ← ← on the remote. Then you can choose to skip-login. Now we need to know more.
[Shield Android TV General] elliwigy:
dunno y u wouldnt want goog signed in.. i suppose if u get thrugh setup then can ust adb sideload stuff
[Shield Android TV General] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
Instead of sideloading stuff you can use Aurora store to get all the updates you need and more.

Just once you need to sideload the store: AuroraStore_3.1.5.apk

[Shield Android TV General] cHECKjAM:
So it is possible to use the device without a google account then?

I even went a step further and rooted my stock OS shield and deleted all the bloatware that came with it. Then installed only jellyfin (alternative to plex) to stream from my home NAS + put the device on its own VLAN without internet access.

Even this process requires a google account to setup.. WOuld be nice if I could just remove that google requirement if Im not even planning to use it on the internet :D
[Shield Android TV General] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
See my EDIT2 here. Just use the key-combo.

Without google means in this case that you never connect your device with google.

[Shield Android TV General] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
Sorry, forget to mention that you need the shield dev rom.

Perhaps with non-dev and magisk root it could be possible to Flash an apk from the dev Rom but atm it is just possible to skip the Google login with the official nvidia dev-rom.

Greetings by Idijt
[Shield Android TV General] zxhwk:
I find it if you first set it up with account you just go in and delete the account and turn off auto login.

I have both versions dev and retail both work the same as for deleting the account and turning off the auto login.

Make sure you turn developer tool on though
[Shield Android TV General] banderos101:
I dont know about newer firmware versions, but i remember going through the initial setup and skipping everything that gave that option until the create google account screen, where i couldn't go any further, i simply pulled the power plug, put it back in , and i was able to skip the google account creation.

Obviously i dont recommend folks pulling the power cord while system is runing on a regularly basis, didn't seem to be any ill affects, but i would suggest that you have nothing hooked up to the shield like harddrives and such just incase.

I cant remember for sure, but i think there is a way to force a reboot through a connected keyboard and key combination (search engine) while system is running which is a more elegant solution if possible
[Shield Android TV General] elliwigy:
my shield 2019 pro got an ota today.. i backed it up and can upload it if anyones interested.. seemed to have quite a bit of fixes for audio and some issues on vizio tvs etc
[Shield Android TV General] elliwigy:
perhaps if they already got it set up to do that they probably already bypassed it.. just sayin lol
[Shield Android TV General] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
You can do a:

adb shell pm list packages -f

Yes, this is an option but you need to create an Google account. Yes, you can delete this after the setup but you probably keep it. I dont want to create an account and I dont want to share my informations with google.This should be the last possible fix for this.

That sounds nice! Can you tell us what os version and what device you are running?

If you find the key-combo, pls tell us. I dont find anything.

ByTheWay:

I uninstall a lot of google services/apps. I will do a

adb shell pm list packages -f

for you, later this day with my google packages where still left on my device.
[Shield Android TV General] zxhwk:
Yes I know you do not want to share neither do I . I just made a bogus account and never use it that is all

[Shield Android TV General] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
[MENTION=897513]zxhwk[/MENTION] what kind of modification does it have? The HAL Launcher.
[Shield Android TV General] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
This does not work. I tried a lot to skip the google-login with non-dev rom without success.

Option A:

flash the current dev rom and to the mentioned key-combo to skip the login

Option B:

just type in a fake or real google login and login. Then disable the account.
[Shield Android TV General] elliwigy:
it can only b skipped on dev firmware
[Shield Android TV General] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
Yes it can only be skipped on dev firmware. twhen I guess I would say that the "SetupWraithPrebuild.apk" checked the some system files, perhaps the build.prop and if you not running the a dev-rom you can not skip-google login with the key-kombo.

But some good news are that Steel01 released an experimental LOS16 (pie) rom.

thanks for the participation, i thought i was really the only one who didn't wanna login with a gmail account since it took some months for your replies.

i created a new throaway gmail account in the meantime, but it was not easy because google requires a sms verification in my country. i had to use one of these sms websites for that.

nearly all televisions and branded boxes with the android tv os let you skip the google account login during the initial setup.

since nvidia does support this product quite well with constant software updates, they'll probably consider to implement this feature in an upcoming firmware update if we are vocal enough on their official forums and request the 'skip login' frequently?

[MENTION=10161367]uigger[/MENTION] [MENTION=3729682]I_did_it_just_tmrrow[/MENTION]

How did you guys create throw-away google accounts.. I could never get any of those SMS verification services to work.. I think I tried like 20 different numbers there. All are used already..

I would also love to try lineageOS on the shield but project seems to not update at all since many months and also dev is not answering in forum anymore.

You think it still works good on 2019 shield Pro ? Is it safe to try it and easily revert to default if not.. ?
[Shield Android TV General] cHECKjAM:
I managed to put latest dev rom on the 2019 Pro shield, bypass the google account.

However I did not manage to get it rooted, even though the dev rom has root privs I cant just throw on AFwall+ and give it root access...

I tried install magisk manager with adb install but that didnt help either... I guess I need to get like TWRP on it and do stuff but as far as I can tell nobody has rooted this new shield 2019 model yet.. At least not from what I can find.
[Shield Android TV General] elliwigy:
what firmware version exactly did u use?

alzo dev os only allows root via shell its a bit more involved to get magisk daemon started so u could use the app to root.. if u have root shell u could patch and dd boot.img
[Shield Android TV General] cHECKjAM:
NVIDIA SHIELD ANDROID TV 2019 Pro Developer Only OS Image 8.2.0 2020/08/25

From another thread I read something I tried:

I took the boot.img from the above downloaded nvidia dev image, put it in latest magisk on my lineage android phone and patched the img file.

Then on the nvidia shield I did the fastboot flash boot magiskboot.img

But this gave me bootloop so I reflashed the normal boot again..

Any ideas? "patch and dd boot.img" <--- Dont know what this means..

[General Questions and Answers] Batman8:
I have a problem that is driving me crazy. I no longer have an option for removing my navigation bar at the bottom of the screen on my Note 9 running Android Pie (OS 9.0). In other words, the option to turn on Full Screen Gestures is GONE from settings. Also when pulling down the notification screen, the option for Navigation Bar is grayed out (quick settings icon) and doesn't do anything anymore. I had this coincidentally happen automatically on both my Note 8 and Note 9 when I woke up this morning. I have since then rebooted several times, cleared cache in recovery, booted into Safe Mode and nothing has helped. I got so desperate that I did a Factory Data Reset on the Note 8 and it did fix it, but I don't want to reset the N9 since it is a true hassle getting everything (incld settings & home screens) back to the way they were.

PLEASE HELP. see screenshots.

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
Go to Settings - System - System navigation. There should be some option for you.
[General Questions and Answers] habibforootan@gmail.com:
HERE'S THE ANSWER after so many failed attempts:

First of all I can see that you have a little person's shape at the right of your navigation bar, that's an accessibility service that allows you to select something from your screen for it to be read out by your phone. I have no idea why after an update that thing would activate by itself as if we all had visibility problems (great reasoning samsung). OK TO THE POINT NOW. Go to Settings>Accessibility>Installed services, and turn off the "Select to Speak" option, after this you'll see that your navigation bar options are back again.

If you want to help a bit further with this, It would be nice if you or someone reading this thread can address this to samsung, so they can solve this nonsense issue for everybody. Cheers!
[General Questions and Answers] Batman8:

Hey all...took a look through the forum to see if this has been asked but I did not see anything so here it goes. I have an older S7 Edge SM-G935W8 (not rooted) that I love. I was using it a while back and the screen "glitched" and the unit turned off. I was at the cottage with no access to the internet so I tried a soft reboot...nothing happened. After I got back, I tried to Forced Reboot, charging, Safe Mode and Recovery mode methods but I get nothing. There are no lights, no vibrations, no nothing. I have left it on the charger for 24 hours (no light) and still nothing. There is absolutely no sign of life. I'm not inclined to have a tech look at it since it is just a media phone (no Sim Card) and it would probably cost more than the phone is worth but I figured I might check here to see if anyone has any ideas. Maybe dead battery, or motherboard?????? Many thanks in advance.
