K so after a quick search on the victor got this

http://www.slashphone.com/tags/htc-victor

something about no A-GPS (what is that?) on certain phones in Taiwan.

Does this mean Victor has a lower level of GPS than the Diamond?

[General Questions and Answers] BLu8i:
Hi

To what extent can employers control an android company phone? I'm sure they could just disable the SIM, but will they be able to:

access the device storage (whether internal or external)?

access call logs etc. and contacts? I guess they'd be able to view texts via the phone company?

disable the phone remotely so that it doesn't turn on?

Thanks for any advice
[General Questions and Answers] mattgyver:
Depends on the MDM the IT department is using. I use Google Admin Console. I can remotely wipe and lock my company-owned Android devices. GAC has started playing nicely with Apple devices, so I can do the same to iOS device we own, too. Seeing files, though? Yeah, if they're using some beefy MDM and it has full device permissions, anything goes if it's set up that way. But then again, if it's a company-owned device, there's no expectation of privacy, and all data on the device is the company's.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Best bet, just don't use it for anything that you want to keep to yourself.
[General Questions and Answers] BLu8i:
Thanks guys.

I'm not sure if it's related, but my old company phone has recently decided not to turn on. I thought it might be something that was controlled by previous employer. Data hasn't been switched on, so can they actually disable the phone via the sim?

As I said, the phone did not want to switch on, so I decided to charge it for some time. Sometimes, it would power on the splash screen, but just does not go any further. It doesn't boot but just sits on the splash screen for over an hour. I was thinking of buying a replacement battery, but it seems it might not have any effect?

Perhaps it's something to do with the phone's IC on its way out?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] gamefreak249:
Hello,

The screen on my A70 recently shattered. The internals are all still fine, when I plug it into the computer it is detected, however I cannot access the files because USB debugging is unfortunately turned off.

I have tried 3 different free softwares I found online and none of them work or have the A70 as a valid model.

What are my options? Is there a way to remotely turn on USB debugging? I used to have a modded Galaxy S5 with TWRP, Odin, etc all setup but I forgot how to do all of that. Is it possible to recover my files from my phone, or am I pretty much forced to replace the screen?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Someone204:
Hello. Can you unlock your phone? Because I was thinking about something that even though it may sound weird, you could actually find someone who has more or less the same phone (A80, A50, A70s, A71, Awhatever, but it would be great if you find someone with an A70) and try to guess where are the buttons on your broken phone. Or, if your friend or whoever agrees to swap the motherboards, you could do it by just replacing your phone's motherboard with your friend's hardware, I dont know if you understand me.

Hi! I think I understand you. Do you mean like, memorizing where to hit on the screen to turn on USB debugging? Yeah I thought of that, but the touch screen doesn't work at all :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cepi111:
Hi,

I am struggling with editing the widget icons. I have for example multiple IFTTT and Philips Hue widgets but there is no edit button in the widgets. The edit button is only in the IFTTT and Hue app themselves, but not in the widgets. Is there any way to edit the icons of the widgets?

If can edit the icon of the IFTTT app and Philips Hue app but it does not affect the widgets at all. Now I have just 10 grey circles in my home screen and it looks super boring. The only difference is the text. It would make much more sense to have at least different colours so I know which button is for red lights and which for blue lights to begin with. But completely customizable icons would be perfect.

I have googled this but in every single place the instructions are for how to change the app icon, not the widget icons.

I contacted the seller and got another replacement head unit, but the same issue occurred. Worked well at begining then no images but gray background.

It seems that after I used MirrorLink and then this issue occurred, but I don't know if it was caused by it.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] friedsonjm:
I've purchased the new Galaxy Tab A 8.4 2020 directly from Samsung. There are only carrier-locked versions, but as Google Fi user, I picked the T-Mobile version as likely the 'most compatible' with Fi, which uses T-Mobile/Sprint for most of its connectivity.

As I don't want to pay for another Fi account, I ordered (for free) a data-only SIM from Google - it works perfectly. Normally, I run off of wifi only, turning Airplane Mode on first, then turning on wifi. I've traveled with it outside the house once, and used the data SIM very nicely. As a Fi user, I can also make calls from it, over data, wifi or LTE.

Some notes on the tablet:

Good:

1. It is fast enough for all my needs, and with a micro SD in addition to the SIM, set as additional storage, I have plenty of room for my needs. NOTE: I don't play games, so I can't comment on game performance.

2. Face recognition works well as long as there is enough light - in dim light, you will have to use PIN/Password, as there is no fingerprint reader.

3. I was able to source a case via Amazon, there are a number of choices.

4. USB C

Not So Good:

1. No fingerprint reader.

2. No ambient light sensor, so you will be adjusting lighting manually. There are apps which use the camera for this, but then you will lose face recognition unlocking.

3. Samsung's Usual Bloatware: I use virtually none of it, not even Touchwiz, as I prefer Nova.

4. Although the case has magnets, they won't turn off the screen when the cover is closed, you will have to turn it off manually or wait for it to timeout.

5. Running Android 9, and nothing available as to when, if ever, it will get an upgrade.

6. Security patch is Feb 1, 2020 and no idea if/when it will get another.

Using the XDA app.. it identifies as an AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 !

All in all, I judge this to be an 'OK' but not great effort from Samsung for $264. For a few more bucks, it could have been a lot better. If the Lenovo new M8 had not been out of stock, I might have bought it instead and saved $130.

You can find the T-Mobile version at: https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/t...-8-4-2020-32gb-mocha-t-mobile-sm-t307uznatmb/

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] friedsonjm:
Did some Geekbench 5 testing, comparing it against my Huawei Mediapad M3 running an in-process version of Lineage 15.

The M3 runs Kirin 950, 4 cores @ 1.8 and 4 cores @ 2.3 The Tab A runs an ARMv8, 6 cores @ 1.59 and 2 cores @ 1.77

The M3 won the CPU test, single core 351 multi core 1267, with the Tab A at single core 271 and multi core 965

The M3 has a Mali T880, and the Tab A has a newer Mali G71 graphics engine.

Trying to run the Compute test (Vucan), the M3 failed to run a number of tests, giving it a very low 105, while the Tab A got a 774

However, until the M3 started failing to run tests, and having started both at the same time, they were literally neck-in-neck for speed. The supposed advantage of the G71 is 20% reduction in power use.

I will run the Huawei numbers again after the Lineage ROM is more stable.

Update Received! 6/15/2020

Received update this morning - I was hoping for update to Android 10, but this one was to May Security update, May kernel update. New build number is PPR1.180610.011.T307USQS2ATE3

I am happy to see an indication that this tablet is going to get updates!

I'm not yet noting any differences from before the update.

At&T Samsung Tab A 8.4 SM-T307U

I wanted to buy unlock version of this tablet from samsung but unfortunately they only sell carrier version.

I have a T-Mobile free line that wasn't in use so thought i should buy this tablet use it in my car for music, GPS, OBDII etc. I didn't buy the T-mobile version because the free line that i have is for cellphone and If i would buy T-mobile version of this tablet, they would ask me to change the line to data only and wouldn't be unlimited anymore. So i went with AT&T version and was cheaper also, AT&T unlocked it for me in about 48hrs after request.

It works fine with T-mobile and was hoping it would switch the firmware to T-mobile once i put the sim like it does with Samsung phone that it initializes the sim and reboots with that carrier software but the Tablet doesn't do that. I even flash T-Mobile Firmware, it flashes successfully but still AT&T stuff is on the tablet. I was able to uninstall/disable most of the At&t bloat but not all. So came to XDA to find root or custom firmware but unfortunately nothing yet.

Update - Occasional Freezing

I use the Brave browser, and on this Tab A, I occasionally run into the screen freezing for no apparent reason. It eventually unfreeze, but is disconcerting.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] HateToConform:
OP, how did you manage to get the SIM card to authenticate on your Google Fi account? I purchased this tablet to use for work as I am an Uber driver and tried to authenticate the device with a data-only SIM card. The device manages to use 3g and technically works without authentication through the Fi app but is worthlessly slow this way. I can't rely on a 3g connection for the Uber driver application. When I try to authenticate the device using the Fi app, it takes awhile before stating the device isn't compatible with Fi.

Did you authenticate the app with a different device and then insert it into the tab A 8.4 2020? Just to confirm ahead of time, I too have the T-Mobile version of the tablet.

Thank you if you get this and have the time to explain how you managed to make the device work!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] friedsonjm:
I actually use it for news, reading etc. I have not tried to make Fi calls over 3g/LTE - just tried to do so, did not work, but I will try it again. It has worked fine for data over LTE. You can now have both Fi and Google Voice numbers, maybe get a Google Voice number and try calling over 3G with that?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] HateToConform:
I'm not too worried about the ability to make/receive calls and my tablet states that my device is on LTE but I can be sure by the incredibly slow speeds I'm getting that it is locked to 3g. It takes minutes to load simple web pages. When you go to the Fi app does it state that your device is authenticated with the SIM associated to a tab A 8.4?

I just want LTE to use for Uber so I don't have my main phone pinned at maximum brightness all the time as this can cause burn in issues with the OLED display.

Edit: I was able to solve the issue with the help of tech support. The solution is to activate the SIM manually through the Fi website (fi.google.com/data) and restart the device with the SIM inserted (also the support rep had me delete the Fi app before restarting). Hope this helps anyone who finds this thread in the same way I did!

I have not removed bloatware, and it is not rooted. Mine is still not even unlocked, as I refuse to pay T-Mobile for 6 months of service I don't need.

I have Google Fi data chip in it, which works fine, and I use Nova launcher on all my phones and tablets so as to have a consistent interface.

How did you get the tablet unlocked? I bought the AT&T version direct from Samsung.com but when I submit the IMEI unlock request to the AT&T website https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/ I get the error message "We can't unlock this device for you because we didn’t sell or activate it." After speaking to an AT&T supervisor over the phone they informed me that they cannot unlock the device unless it has been activated to their network and associated with an account.

Also even though I bought this device new from Samsung and it came factory sealed, when I inserted a T-Mobile sim the first time it told me to enter an MCK code, too many unlock attempts. I haven't made a single unlock code attempt yet, but I did flash it to XAC Canada unlocked version with Odin. I was under the impression that flashing firmware wouldn't mess with unlocking in any way... but now I would need both an MCK code and NCK code to unlock. Even if AT&T were to provide me with the NCK code it seems like they can't get an MCK code, and Samsung tech support says they can't provide either.

Hi, did you ever get this resolved? I just bought the sprint version and am facing the same problem(s). Don't have it yet but have read there are different methods carriers have used to sim lock these.

Most use some kind of app to unlock, some allow you to enter an unlock code after entering diff sim. But the Sprint one is supposedly has 'firmware' locking. I'm hoping that means flashing (odin) xac firmware it will no longer be locked...

how have things worked out for you? Thnx

[HTC Wings] Hikey:
As see, Htc S730 is very slow in display, because lack of video drivers .

You can compare the experience with running your Windows computer in "safe mode" with the default "VGA driver".

HTCClassAction.org have not been sitting on their hands after the drama about the Kaiser / TyTn II / Tilt's lack of video drivers shook out. Though HTC is not releasing a full set of true drivers, the hackers at HTCClassAction are! They're still basically in “proof-of-concept” mode right now, but the concept, it's proven: full video hardware acceleration is working on a TyTN II and Wings

ROM WM6.1 needed to run this new driver

:eek: Geat news! Hoping there will be a 2d/video accelerated version...

I tried installing the CAB using my HTC S730 original WM6.0 ROM ( Yes, I know... was just a silly try)

Result is: "Could not initialize Direct3D" when running the test application.

Is there a way to "uninstall" this driver:confused:

Abviously WM6.1 cooked ROM is needed :p.

Update

I tried registry editing/key deleting, but it seems it is not so simple to partially uninstall: probably some of the original dll are overwritten and I need original ones (or have to hard reset to get non accelerated d3d back... I think...)
[HTC Wings] qumran:
This is wonderful news! I'd almost given up my hopes on a proper driver, now i can see the light in the tunnel again! awesome!

From htcclassaction.org:
[HTC Wings] moneytoo:
The S730 is slow? How's that? S730 may not have hw acceleration but it is one of the fastest smartphones and the graphics is way faster then on Kaiser. (Try running TT5/6 on both devices side by side and you will se the much smoother graphics of S730)
[HTC Wings] 10332007:
I am happy they are putting out more power, but is it only for video or will it optimize the phone overall?

And I would like it to work on the stock phone since not too many cooked 6.1's are 100% yet (although I dont keep up with the threads on them.)
[HTC Wings] rvanzo:
Only D3D for now (but...)

Currently on htcclassaction.org they say it's only a D3D improvement, but they say also that is only a WIP version, and 2D, video and "overall" improvements are work in progress too....
[HTC Wings] 10332007:
Thats what I figured from the site, hopefully they will finish it up and release it for the stock phone.

I am glad someone is working on it. Its been how long since HTC said they were going to do "something" about it lol.
[HTC Wings] zomos:
Have anybody tried installing those drivers on any 6.1 WM on s730 ? Worked ? Better ? Worse ? I know that there is no official rom but maybe works on Alcaline or other. Are there ROMs with this driver integrated ?

I am looking for the package on their site but can't find the one for Wings. Anyone got any luck?
