after uninstall bloatware my NFC cannot turn ON, kindly advise which apps that need to reinstall?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] xanshorix:
I face this problem too. My NFC can still start after debloating, but after I reboot my phone it can not start anymore without any error message. Does it need com.sonymobile.nfclock to keep this feature? or other app?

Now this is some interesting finding. My SOV36 also gets random reboot when using Carbom ROM and Stock UK Pie. I'm trying Android 10 Bliss rn and so far my phone rebooted by itself once.

I guess the Oreo not giving making the phone randomly reboots also applies to Oreo cusroms as well?

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] ronaldC:
For those who are facing NFC issues, please do not delete some FeLiCa services and apps because those are needed for the Japanese build of the phone as the Global Build's NFC is different than the one on Japanese Build's NFC.

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Sonicfan1661:
Ok so I'm on an LG G8 ThinQ on Android 9 Pie kernel version 4.14.83 and I have a few questions I'd like to ask here. So up until January 30th 2020 I was using my G5 since June 2017. It had its own issues but I still liked it for the things it did well. The camera was one of those things.

Now I would make a direct comparison if I could, but the G5 up and died on January 30th and is now bootlooping and appears to have a dead screen that only shows a blue pulsing LED at the top. So I got the G8 in late February to early March (I don't remember exactly) and so far one of the things that annoys me the most is that it's much more difficult to get a crisp shot on this phone than on the G5, even though that thing was slower than this by a long shot by the time it croaked. So I wanted to ask someone who still owns a working G5 as well as a G8 to take several pictures of the same scenes/objects/subjects etc. and post them here. I want to see if the G5 was actually better than the G8 in terms of normal camera performance.

I know that LG for some reason went down to a 12MP sensor from the previous 16MP on the G5, and from what I've read that can impact the amount of detail captured in a photo. I've also noticed that it often optimizes the photos I take which from the shot temporarily freezing I assume means I have to hold it still, which often leads to shaky shots since ya know, my arm is in fact not a tripod. I'm not sure exactly how to turn it off or if it effects the details in a picture, but I thought I'd bring it up just in case. If I could have the G5 back I'd very likely take it as I do think the picture and video experiences are better on it. Thanks for your time whoever is reading this. I hope you're all staying safe during these difficult times.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
I am very confident that the g8 generally does not have worse camera performance than the g5; the few seconds that it takes to shoot a photo, with gcam, for example, is hdr which increases photo quality. I'm not sure why you're still on Android 9, so it would be helpful if you told me your model #. I recommend joining the gcam and v50 telegram group for more people who compare photos, and I'm sure you can find someone who has a g5 in lgcam group. Additionally, you'll find the best gcams with highly optimized configs there.
[Android Head-Units] Tuborg68:
Hi all!

After getting the basics of this unit set up I'm starting to get acquainted (you maybe saw my black-screen-of-death adventure) but of course there are newbie questions that pop up and I hope to get help with from you experienced guys.

1. There's a lot of posts about MCU and other shortletter words around. What are these?

2. Except for the basic specs (PX5, 4gb ram, 64gb storage, Android10). What's the interesting stuff to look for and know about it and how to find it in menus etc.

3. There's a noticeable difference in sound quality between FM radio (not so good) and streaming music like Spotify (good). How come, is it common and is there anything to do about it?

4. I've found a menu called factory settings but everything her is password protected. What can this password be? And what can you set and do here?

I'll start with these questions. Probably more coming. PLease bear with me and thanks in advance for any help with this!

Here's some pics of information I found in the menus:

So I think I got the MCU part sort of, after reading up a bit.

But the one in my unit seems a bit unusual. Not much to find here on XDA about it: S32F0_yunht-18-W_20191115_HD1_7708_D_FF_C8

Is it a weird version? New?

I'm also wondering if it's a MTC version I'm sitting on or is this something else? How to find out?

[Android Head-Units] vwrafi:
Hello. I have got a question about this unit as well. What are the supported 4G/LTE modems for this radio? The best I would need LTE with B38 TDD 2600MHz band. And if I could not find any modem, than I would consider buying LTE Hot Spot ( Wi-Fi ) and connect it to the radio USB port. Will the device power on itself after the radio power on? Is current enough on USB from Hizpo unit to power on Wi-Fi Hot Spot ?
[Android Head-Units] Tuborg68:
I have a small WiFi LTE hotspot that the Hizpo connects to. But it's powered by usb power from my solar cell regulator so unfortunately I do not know if the unit can power it.

But anyhow, the internet connection through the hotspot seem to work well.

Skickat från min BLA-L29 via Tapatalk
[Android Head-Units] vwrafi:
Could you try to connect your Wi-Fi Hot Spot to the USB of Hizpo? Or is it too much effort ( depends where you have located the unit and the hot spot ). I would like to know before I buy.
[Android Head-Units] Tuborg68:
Unfortunately I have not done a proper installation yet so the usb:s are tucked behind the unit and not accessable.

Once I get the mounting kit I'll take it out and can try but that might take another week.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Jt380p:
This is gonna be a bit long, so please bare with me.

So, I have an S10 that I bought a day or two after christmas. I got mine at an equivalent Big W or Walmart for about 45% off the launching price. It was the first batch of the S10 to be made btw. It was flawless up until today I guess. I noticed that something was rattling. Only when I shake it back and forth, side to side still rattles, but not much. I covered the buttons with my fingers and shook it just to make sure it wasnt the buttons, it wasnt. So I took out the sim tray, and noticed the noise got louder. After not knowing what it is, I googled it up, and found many threads pointing towards it could be the cameras a.k.a the OIS. So I opened the camera app with the main lens and shook it again, it got quieter, only by a hair. Literally, it was barely any quieter, I switched to the tele lens and found the same results, it only got quieter by a hair. Switching to the ultrawide and the noise became normal, normal as in the noise didnt soften as the other 2 lens. Ive also looked online that Samsung would refuse a replacement. But heres the thing, it also affects video and audio recording, granted I doubt that anyone would shake their phones while recording lol. The point is, it affects the user experience. If it didnt, Id try to get over it. The warranty policy for the place where I got is a bit more strict than other vendors. The policy is if you buy a discounted phone with them, the device will not be eligible for a replacement, if anything goes wrong. The device will only be eligible for repairs under warranty. Which is my case. I looked for videos online, and they have similar problems. However, mine seems quite louder than the ones on Youtube. This really bugs me. Im the type of person that if I find a defect or imperfection, I couldnt get over it. (-_-) Any suggestions on what I should do? The current situation prevents me from going outside my house :/ Ill attach a couple of clips below. One is showing the phone, the other one while recording.

Oh, and yesterday I left my phone on my wireless charger and when I checked again, it wont charge. The phone says its charging, but the number wasnt going up. It was really hot too for some reason (45c). So I tried the wired method, using the stock charger. Again, it wouldnt charge, it got hot also. Ive done a restart before I tried charging with the cable. So I shut it down, and let charge using the cable. The next day it was fine. Ive installed One UI 2.1 the hour it got released, so I doubt its a software issue. Im pointing this out because we know that the S10 lineup has a non-replaceable charging port. This is where my warranty policy comes into play again. -_-

Thanks if you read it all through, and (if) replying. Im torn at this point..
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Ripthulhu:
The rattle is normal. That's indeed just the OIS you are hearing rattle. Every phone I had with OIS did this
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Jt380p:
Then why didn't it rattle out of the box? I never dropped my phone. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Meemo23:
It's normal don't worry about it. In order for your camera to take steady videos while recording your camera moves in accordance to your movement so the image on your screen is not shaky. The noise you hear is actually the camera moving when you shake it. Also who the f shakes their phone? Leave it well and truly alone this is the way the phone is designed. If you still don't understand it take the phone back and get something else. But then again a lot of new phones have this now.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] applicationz:
Hey its the back camera sensor, which offers variable focus aperture(I think), there is a mechanical part, you can also hear a mechanical sound when u open camera app, or switch (f1.8-2.4 in pro mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Jt380p:
I can hear the aperture change I'm aware of that. It's just the OIS just rattled out of the blue.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] riso123:
Just checked and indeed, mine does exactly the same. My old S9+ also did this, however I only noticed after it broke (random boot loops every few weeks after a reset).

Appears from what people are saying, this is normal, so don't worry :)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] noddledizzy:
how do I stop this? I am not even logged on Playstore and all these weird games like solitaire keeps installing on its own.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
It's adware triggered by first setup of the stock ROM. I was surprised when I got a US998 that it had all this adware, which was never on my former H932. I guess LG trying to make a few bucks on their phones.

You can you uninstall them. They'll come back if you perform a Factory Reset, but otherwise they'll stay away.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I've never seen this and it's not on my wife's phone, my mother's phone, my sister's phone, my brother in law's phone, nor other friends.

What exactly are you seeing?

Now 30b -- U.S. Cellular Pie -- has games which I had trouble removing on my backup phone. But I've never seen any bloatware or adware on US998 Oreo KDZ. Unless you count social media stuff like Facebook.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
It happened on both of the US998 (Frankensteined LS998) which I bought from YYwireless on eBay. Both came with Pie 30b. One I rolled back to Oreo 20h, and it happened again. I did a lot of Factory Reset / Master Reset on this phone trying to solve a modem issue after rolling back to Oreo, and these apps and games reinstall every time I go through first-time setup.

I cannot say why you don't get them. My first thought was it might be tied to the US Cellular 30b firmware, but again, I get it on 20h as well.

Edit: Oh, it's social media as well as games: Wish, Solitaire... at least a dozen apps, most are ones I never heard of. And they are NOT baked into the ROM, but rather downloaded and installed after first setup (thus easy to uninstall). These are in addition to the Facebook and Instagram apps baked into the ROM.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
The social media apps, yes. The games, that's strange.

But I never did a clean install from 20h. On all the phones I mentioned, I either updated over the months with TWRP-flashable zip (mine) or through Upgrade mode with KDZ via Dev Patched LGUP (all my friends, family members). Many started with 20c or 20d and then I updated them as LG released KDZ.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
I bet that's why: If you were to do a wipe and clean install on 20h, I imagine you would get them too. The only other explanation I can think of is that there are two different variants of 20h, one for US cellular and one pure LG. I forget if I downloaded from LG-Firmwares or from the mirrors in your your thread. But even on LG-Firmwares there is a dozen uploads of it, as I recall. Don't know if anyone eve bothered comparing them.

Edit: The MD5 of my 20h KZ matches the one from your AFH upload. I am downloading from LG-Firmwares now to see if there is a difference. The LG bridge link is broken, so can't check that one.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Also, on my wife's I actually started with Nougat. We both have genuine Open Market USS98. My mother also.

The other people have YYWIRELESS converted LS998. And they started with some early Oreo but were never Bootloader Unlocked.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
I just finished downloading one of the 20h KDZs from LG-Firmwares, and it's the same MD5 as your AFH upload. Not a big surprise, I am sure you would have caught if there were two variants floating around.

So yes, I think anyone who does a clean install on 20h or newer will get this adware. My guess is that LG decided to leave the US998 to US Cellular at some point between 20b and 20h, and all new updates pass through them before being released -- and they are the ones inserting some adware to the ROM they get from LG.

I am curious, since you own some genuine Open Market US998s: Did you ever see an OTA offer of 20h? I assume not, since you were already rooted by then. But I am thinking that 20h may be just as much USC as 30b, and we're not going to get any "pure" LG Pie updates no matter how long we wait.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] noddledizzy:
Thank you for replying. How do you fully remove this adware? The first app that mysteriously appeared is called Games(com.dti.folderlauncher) I disabled it in the settings then resorted to uninstalling it via Titanium backup. But the odd thing is that it still manages to install these random games and social media apps. At this point, I don't even know what's installing them all and I don't know what to disable. I mean what package even installed the Games(com.dti.folderlauncher) app in the first place? I have not logged to Google or LG even in the first place. It just installed by itself as soon as i connected to the internet.

I could also confirm that this Games(com.dti.folderlauncher) appears in 20e after my test awhile ago.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
The ones I get are just plain apps being downloaded right after setup, even if I don't log in with an account. They're not from Play Store. I can uninstall them easily, either from the apps menu or from the launcher (Nova in my case).

I wonder if you're seeing something else than me: Anything you can Disable has to be a system app (baked into the ROM, still there ready to be enabled). But none of the ones I see are system apps: You uninstall them, and they're gone. That's why I am not overly concerned, just a slight nuisance.

I wish I could remember the exact names of them. If you list more app names, I can confirm if they're the same I saw.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] noddledizzy:
I can uninstall all the apps except the Games app from Digital Turbine, I had to use titanium backup to uninstall it.

The apps that got installed automatically in order: Games(Digital Turbine) Delta Browser, News, Raid, Pandora, News Break, Wish, Pop! Slots, TikTok, SmartNews, Bingo Blitz, Board Kings, King of Avalon, Caesars Slots, Solitaire and Slotmania.

I have another question, do you have an idea why busybox is not working for me? I tried it on 20e and 20h and it shows (no info provided) on magisk. I downloaded it straight from magisk too.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
Thank you! I remember seeing that and wondering what it was! What a nasty piece of crap, including its legitimate sounding name. Right out of the spammers playbook. Shame on LG for allowing this.

[MENTION=9718275]noddledizzy[/MENTION]: Yes, that's the list of apps. All of them can be uninstalled, then disable that Mobile Services Manager. I don't remember a Games app, but there is a Gaming system app, which is legit and unrelated to these -- although I have no idea what it does.

May I also ask how you figured this out? I am curious to know how you were able to track the culprit.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
If you remove it, it would have to be as a TWRP flashable zip, only for rooted users. We cannot create updated KDZs, they're signed and encrypted.

I don't think it's that big a problem: It's only once after clean install, and you just uninstall the downloaded apps and disable Mobile Services Manager.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
More information:

http://telstramobileloop.com/what-is-mobile-services-manager/

Most Android phones seem to have it but can be used in nefarious ways by carriers for bloatware. The article recommends you disable it immediately.

I checked and I already have this frozen in Titanium Backup for some reason. Who knows when I did that? :)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
Yes, that's the one.

What's interesting here is that US998 was supposed to NOT be a carrier device, so one expects it to be free from crap like this. Which again leads me to believe that there hasn't been a "pure LG" US998 update since 20e. They're all US Cellular now.

Edit: I used to own a H932, which I am sure didn't have this. To confirm, I just checked my wife's H932 (all stock, not even rooted) and it's not on there. I don't think the article is correct that most Androids have this. Certainly not higher end phones.
