[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] buddy66:
You are absolutely right. I never understood that trash talk from Apple users about the support for Samsung phones. I have friends with S8´s that run the february 2020 security update and are on Android 9. That is not bad at all for a phone launched at the beginning of 2017. We are looking at 3 years of support at the moment and it has not come to an end yet. Additionally Samsung was always years ahead of Android with their extra features like picture in picture or split screen etc and this is why you cannot compare it to the iPhones update cycle. On the other hand, no Apple user will run around with a 3/4 year old iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] mrnovanova:
I agree with most of what you say except for the last sentence. I'd say about a good 60 to 70% of iPhone users have a phone thats 3 yrs or older. Most iPhone users are regular people not tech savvy at all.;)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] buddy66:
Ok I agree with you. Don´t you think that the users you mention do not actually care if they have support or updates as long as the phone functions?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] khumquat:
Okay so here's the skinny... I was with Verizon on my Note 9. I paid it off. I then switch to T-Mobile and took the Note 9 with me. Popped the sim card in, worked great - did not need unlocked. That being said, I want to sell the Note 9 and get a new phone. However, I cannot seem to unlock the Note 9. T-Mobile says you cannot unlock it since it's a Verizon phone, and Verizon said I cannot unlock it without my ex's account information which she wont give me because we are not talking... So, in selling this phone - what do I need to know if it cannot be unlocked? Can someone with a Verizon or T-Mobile sim just slap it in and go? I'm confused as can be and the Verizon tech team over there in some cave doesn't have a clue how to help. TIA.

Hi All,;)

I'm trying to enable my phone to wake up when I receive a new e-mail (when my device is locked and on standby). I want it to wake-up just like when I get a text message.

I'm using L26's WM6.1 Diamond V9 ROM, I'd appreciate if someone could notify me of a reg tweak please.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] D8LOM:
Please help, no-one has respond.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] goatistuta:
Have you tried activating push mail? I've got mine configured to work with Exchange Server and it beeps when I get mail. The only problem is that it eats battery big time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] D8LOM:
yeap, I've got 5 different accounts setup on my device and one of them is exchange server.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] chucky.egg:
The point is to get the device to wake up - it's already beeping, but staying in Suspend.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] SiJ2000:
I don't think it's possible...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] emad.ibrahim:
you have to use kaiser tweaks, serach and you will find it here; and enable all value to the "adviced value"
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
It's not possible to do it the way you want. When the Kaiser is on standby its processor is stopped, so can't receive e-mails. If you use the tweaks mentioned above it will work but your device will never go into standby, only the screen will be deactivated while the processor still runs in the background, not mentioning the active data connection. That means your battery life will go down to somewhere around 5 hours.

What should be needed is an app that uses the notification queue to make the device periodically wake up like an alarm would do, check mail and respectively return to standby / beep according to whether there's new mail or not. But it seems there's no such app out there. With the number of people asking for it, some motivated developer could for sure make a few bucks if he made one ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] D8LOM:
My Kaiser use to wake up when I received e-mails/text messages on my previous ROMs e.g. Dutty's WM6.1 diamond V1 and the official WM6.1. It only doesn't work on this current ROM (L26's Diamond WM6.1 V9).

I find this wired that, the incoming text messages wake up my phone on this ROM but the e-mails doesn't?:(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
Text messages yes, e-mails I doubt, see the following for reason.

Totally normal due to hardware design. On HTC devices, the mobile radio is a block that is separate and independent from the main processor. The radio can do all network-related jobs by itself while the main processor is sleeping, but has a hardware way to wake it up when necessary. When it receives a text messages, it accepts it and receives it on its own, then wakes up the main processor to tell it it has a new message.

E-mails and other internet communication is handled by the main processor itself, so obviously can't take place when it's not running. It needs to be turned on for that kind of tasks to be executed.

If another ROM was waking up when receiving emails, then it was doing what I said earlier, turning on the phone (maybe in an "invisible" way keeping the screen off) periodically to check e-mails. Never seen that functionality yet though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] D8LOM:
Thanks for that explanation, where would I get the Kaiser Tweak emad.ebrahim mentioned?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stoobie-doo:
The explanation still does not explain why I got sounds when I receive an email either via Exchange ActiveSync or in periodic checks of my POP email. Nor does it explain why a Treo 750 can wake from an incoming email.

[Dell Streak 7] own3mall:
Now that it's pretty much impossible to find a lot of the files that used to be here on XDA, I decided to do my best to come up with a new gitlab repository that contains most of what anyone still playing with this worthless device needs.

I can't throw things away... I just have to find new uses for this tablet even though it can't do much...

I hope this helps someone. I needed to flash back down to the 3.2 ROM because the 4.4 ROM I was using was too slow and unusable to the point that I'd rather have an old Android version that can do something than a new Android version that can run new apps, but can't actually run anything because it's too slow.

https://dev.x-null.net/own3mall/dell-streak-7-rom-files-and-packages

If anyone else still has Streak 7 files that were once posted here and not in my repo, please get them to me, and I will add them to my repository which shouldn't be going anywhere as long as I'm alive and can pay bills.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Strategia:
Hi All,

I've been following this prodigious forum for a long time, and, like many of us, i'm trying to change the default CSC of my galaxy watch 42 LTE.

I followed the procedure via SBD, formally it was successful, but like many of us, the watch did not show the list of countries.

So... this is the idea:

downgrade to first firmware via NetODIN (should be R815FXXU1CRK7), than use the SBD procedure in order to select my CSC (that should go on first firmware) then I proceed via OTA to update the latest available firmware.

This is my actual watch configuration:

AP: R815FXXU1FSL3

CP: R815FXXU1FSL3

CSC: R815FOXA1FSL3

Stock firmware I'm searching for: R815FXXU1CRK7

Should be a Europe free operatore device from DBT, desire to switch to ITV.

... and this is the issue:

I tried quite a lot but I still haven't been able to find the first firmware with which the watch was born, also on the XDA forum, but for the R815F version there doesn't seem to be my specific firmware ... could you help me?

In your opinion could it work this solution? Thanks for the contributions, so as to help the many of us who have the 42 LTE - R815F version.

Thank you,

Strategia

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] DF5JT:
I am tired of trying out hundreds of apps to find a way that lets me record phone calls with both participants being audible. I know there are some Android systemic restrictions, but since I live in a country where call recordings are legal, I'd really like to have that opportunity.

Can someone tell me:

What are the restrictions on Android, specifically up to date OxygenOS

On a rooted phone, are there other avenues to explore?

What is your experience?

Are there apps that let you record such calls with a headset?

Thanks.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Les Wilson:
Hello all - this is a great resource for new PPC phone users like me and thanks in advance for all that I have been able to learn here in the past few days. I do have a question for those "in the know" though. I have heard rumors, seen the VZW powerpoint presentation on Engadget, etc. concerning the update to WM6.1, Rev A, and activating the GPS chip on the VX6800. Seems though it's overdue given the late May 08 date indicated on Engadget. I want to start customizing the interface on my phone but don't want to have to find that what I do now is not compatible with 6.1. Also, I know that I could update now using a custom rom but if an official one is coming out, I would rather wait.

So, the question is if VZW is ever going to update the VX6800 and if so, will it be within the next month or so? I know this question probably is not answerable with an certainity but I will be happy for those that have been on the "scene" longer than I have to speculate. If it appears that an update is not immenient or coming at all, I will just go the custom rom route.

Thanks,

Les

VX6800 On Verizon

Stock (for the time being)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] azclown:
Just take the plunge.... Verizon is always very late to market with updates to their phones..... If they even update it at all.... Your phone can be updated to the official ROM if it ever does come out....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
I have been on and off the phone with HTC, UTStarcom, and Verizon for the past 3 months regarding this issue. At first, Verizon kept saying they knew nothing about an update or if there was going to be an update. Both HTC and UTStarcom informed me there was an update coming and it should be here by end of Q2. Finally, 2 weeks ago, I spoke with a WDTS tech from Verizon, who confirmed that there was indeed an update and it would be out by the end of Q2. He said it was going to update to RevA and VZNavigator (GPS). He said nothing about 6.1. This was the first time someone from Verizon knew anything about an update, nevermind when it was going to be released. It is the end of Q2, and still nothing. So I don't know what to tell you.

THAT BEING SAID....

I strongly recommend using a custom rom regardless whether an update is released or not. I am hoping they release an update merely for the fact that with an update brings new drivers, new OEM packages, new radio etc. that can be taken and applied to a custom rom. Custom roms are 99% of the time better than stock roms. My advice to you would be to update now to the latest rom/radio. If a VZW update comes out, you know we'll be on it like flies on **** and ready to apply all the goodies from it to a new custom rom.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Zenoran:
New ROM will be nice to potentially get Verizon aGPS settings as well.. vznavigator gets locks INSTANTLY so it will be interesting to see how they implement this on the wm devices... I know they already have it released for the palm so it's possible this may be causing the delay...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rajuabju:
The short answer is... NO.

Verizon is very unlikely to ever release a ROM update for the XV6800.

The stores are already pushing the XV6900 over the Titan, and with the upcoming release of the Samsung i770, and Treo 800, it's entirely possible this phone wont be available much longer. In fact, my local store in Santa Monica, CA does not even have the XV6800 on display anymore.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
This is not accurate information. Just because another phone model comes out does not necessarily mean all support is stopped for a previous one. The Apache was finally issued an update even though it was "outdated" as you're referring to. Like I said, I've spoken with several people in high positions from all 3 companies...not just dumbass customer service reps. The Vogue is a completely different phone than the Titan and just because it's been released after, and salespeople are trying to "push" it does not mean the Titan is obsolete. The Titan will be "outdated" when the Herman is released.

If you're going to post, provide solid factual proof and not just stipulation.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rajuabju:
GC... you're right, I should have made it more clear thats my opinion, not a fact.

But your point about the update for the XV6700 is also important, because it took them SO long to release that update, it was pretty irrelevant to a lot of people by the time it came out. Granted, its better than nothing, but I was more generalizing about the fact that Verizon has historically had pretty crappy support for their phones after release. Whereas other carriers continue to update their existing product line with new firmware, software and other updates, Verizon tries to push a brand new phone on their customers instead.

And of course, I 100% agree with going the custom ROM route. Even if Verizon did issue a brand new ROM today, I would probably wait a few days, let DCD / no2chem, etc.. work their magic and make tons of improvements, and go with their product over whatever Verizon does.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Oh, I completely agree with you that Verizon is at the bottom of the list when it comes to supporting their products. There's no excuse for it. Sprint is coming up on two substantial rom updates, and Verizon hasn't provided its customers with anything. You can all be assured though that as long as I'm still breathing, I am not going to stop bugging them about it. Even if it does nothing, their people will have to put up with me annoying them about it every week until the Herman is released.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] schwillyd530:
September?

I spoke with a Verizon Wireless Rep out in Boston, MA who said that in September an upgrade for the XV6800 would come out with VZNavigator in it. Everyone knows how this speculation works though....we can only hope.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Hehe..must have been the same guy I talk to
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ebb:
I posted in the wrong thread, so since I'm already here I'll comment.

Even though Verizon is always way late to the party on devices, its not unusual for them to release one update during the life of the device. Even the samsung i730, which was an orphan from almost day one, received an official update from WM2003se to WM5, about a year after release. So that's my guess, the end of the year for a software/os update, unless the geniuses decide that pocket pc users will, for some reason, pay for navigation. Then you might see it earlier.

IMO, despite the criticism of Verizon, its not fair to compare to Sprint, since they rushed out the Mogul, and took a ton of complaints on how poorly it functioned. They were forced to put out the first update. So as far as I'm concerned, its only one real update that's come out. The xv6800 worked much better out of the box.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
HTC Herman is the TMobile Wing right?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
I'm not talking about the crappy update to the stock rom.

3.35

3.56

I count two major updates.

Haha no no. HTC Herman is your beloved Touch Pro.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
Couldn't find that anywhere; googling HTC Herman brings up an expired craigslist listing for a Wing he erroneously calls the HTC Herman.

I am disappointed by a few things on the Touch Pro (biggest is the roller, battery, processor, there was something else I've forgotten), but the RAM and sleek look (VGA), are really tempting.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Yeah you probably won't see it for a while. It's the CDMA Touch Pro, as the HTC Victor is the CDMA Diamond.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
The Victor will probably be my next phone. 4GB internal, 196MB RAM, 3D graphics processor, HSDPA broadband internet collection, 3.2 mp auto-focus camera. Still will miss the roller on the side, but it doesn't seem any of the new models will have that anymore. Oh well.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
HSDPA broadband internet connection on Verizon huh? Let me know when that happens ;)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
True... may never happen, but would be nice to have if they start taking care of their business customers.

Do you guys ever think about changing to Sprint or other company? For my area, coverage sux bad for other providers. If they paid for your changeover charge would you switch?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Zenoran:
Sprint has horrible service in central ohio or I would definately consider it... esp for SERO.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
HSDPA is GSM 3.5G data. Verizon is CDMA. You will never see HSDPA with Verizon. In the future, they're going LTE like AT&T, but you will never see HSDPA.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Les Wilson:
Don't know who leaked the PP slides but it would seem that they are off as to the date lol. Update: Spoke with a VZW rep yesterday by phone and she put me in touch with someone "up the line". When asked the question that I originally posed to start this thread, he responded that yes there was an upgrade in the works but that a release date "was not yet determined". So, I guess VZW will release when it feels that the software is ready. Not much to go on but at least some hope.

Anyway, since my original post, I have been reading, downloading, and re-reading the posts and wiki that deal with rom and radio upgrading. I think I am going to go with DCD's "stable" rom. Also got the card reader and 1gb card and intend to go the SD card route to install the rom. Even after all the reading and note taking, I still must admit to some hesitation but hell, I have the extended warranty and insurance :-)

Again, thanks for all of the great information and guides here on XDA and keep up the good work!

VZW XV6800 Stock
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kflipproductions:
what do you consider to be the "stable" rom?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Les Wilson:
3.2.0. I have read the thread on 3.2.2 (DCD's latest release) and think I will give it a week or two more to have all of the minor problems worked out before jumping on it. I use a variety of software and it's beneficial to me to see what programs are being reported by others to have problems, although most reported are resolved and not due to anything in the rom.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Hate to break it to you...but there are way more issues with 3.2.0 than 3.2.2.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
Agreed, 3.2.2 is probably the best ROM DCD has released to date with regards to speed and stability. Some still claim to have the phone popup, but that is probably some cab or OEM they install that overwrites the registry key that causes that (PM me for the fix). The old TCPMP/FlashBundle versions don't work anymore, but I have a link to some cabs that do.

Go for the newest one.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kashabrown:
I agree with Serf and GC - I have used each rom of his from 2.3.2 until 3.2.2 and have found this latest one to be the fastest and best on holding memory. I have not seen any conflicts with any of the programs that I use.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Les Wilson:
Point taken, you guys have been around the block far more than I so 3.2.2 it will be. I just thought that given it's relative newness, maybe it would be best to let it age some before jumping on it.

Thanks again for the feedback....

Les
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
Most of the issues that people were reporting recently were due to the phone popup and the x button thing. Most of the time people have errors and problems that they get in the first day or two and flood the thread with problems. I don't normally see serious problems develop after the first few days in a DCD ROM (not so with timebombs in nueROMS). You will like it I promise.

Tell me what software/settings you use that other people do not use on this forum, maybe we can warn you of any potential conflicts.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] DT84:
Hello,

I have a OnePlus 6 8/256 running OxygenOS 10.3.0 and recently I've been gifted a Galaxy Watch 46mm.

I so wanted to use Navigation apps on the smartwatch, and the Galaxy Watch, despite having an internal GPS module, prefers using the phone's GPS which is more accurate, and to do so it interacts with 2 apps called Galaxy Wearable and Galaxy Watch Plugin.

Both apps have permissions to always access position, but it seems OxygenOS doesn't care about that setting, and as soon as I turn the screen off or switch to another app, without killing the Samsung one, the watch stops getting position updates.

Removing battery savings from apps and advanced battery optimizations in OxygenOS settings doesn't help either, I've even tried downloading an app called GPS Locker, but even that one was useless.

I've also tried to lock the Galaxy Wearable in the recent apps screen but without result.

Maybe someone has faced a similar problem and can help me.

Thank you.
