I've found this little how to and I can confirm, it works!

Easy STEPS to TURN OFF COVID-19 Exposure Notifications on Android

STEP 1:

• Check if the “COVID-19 Exposure Notifications” Tracking service has been installed on your smartphone.

o Go to the Android Settings

o Search and click “Google”

o If listed services the item “COVID-19 Exposure Notifications”, it means the service has been installed.

• If you want to remove the service then follow STEP 2.

STEP 2:

• Go to Android Play Store

• Click on the three horizontal lines at the top left

• Click “Settings”

• Click on “Automatic app update”

• Select “Do not automatically update apps and confirm by pressing End”

• Open Android Settings

• Click on “Security” or “Security and Locations”

• Click on “Advanced”

• Disable “Find My Device” if active

• Go back to Android Settings

• Look for the item “Apps and notifications” or “Applications”

• Click on “Show all app”

• Click on “Google Play Services”

• Click on the 3 vertical dots at the top right

• Click on “Uninstall updates”

• Press “OK” at the confirmation request

Some steps might be different depending on the Android device that you have!

Done!!!

Now check STEP 1 again and make sure the “COVID-19 Exposure Notifications” item has disappeared.

Just to clarify where the line was crossed. It doesn't matter if anything was "on" or "off", I totally agree that this

test service for this test pandemic will do "nothing" if it is turned "off". The crossed line is, that Hydra installed a service,

without any further notice nor user confirmation. This move violates by definition any international privacy laws, regulations and guide lines. In fact, they have proven they can install what ever they want, all these permissions regulations for us users and app developers, for nothing, just bogus, they don't need it at all.

At least Apple acts like they would respect those formalities, but as soon as they force the user to update because

other apps won't run without this update, which includes the harmless service, they throw this hypocrite respect overboard. It is a bit like selling it to you as rain while it is actually melded yellow snow.

So what's next?

Cheers

[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] newbit:
Thanks!! Yeah that is creepy as well!

According to this Paper GAEN Due Diligence: Verifying The Google/AppleCovid Exposure Notification API the whole pseudo open-source code architecture, just leads to unreliability like false-positives etc.

I think there is a typo in Aamir Siddiqui's Article: This contact tracing API, which Google and Apple call the Exposure Notification API, is designed to DISrespect user privacy and security.

Can you please be more specific? Another XDA Member in Removal of new sneaky COVID menu and feature, is it possible?

had an issue too, but fixed it.
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] jsusang:
Thank you for sharing the paper, [MENTION=1350876]newbit[/MENTION]! Will read it in a few.

Uninstalled all Google Play Services & apps from my Note8/Note9. Uninstalled Google Services Framework on the Note9/Android 10 and had to reset the phone because I could not move apps to the sd card. The Note 8/Android Pie did not have any problems after uninstalling Google Services Framework.

While nosing around on a Note10+, I noticed "Google EAlerts Experiment" under Location. ??

Think my next 'phone' will be a Carrier Pigeon. lol
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] newbit:
Why did you uninstalled the Framework as well?

No idea what this is supposed to be. Can you please make screenshots of it?

I like your style. I was also thinking of going "classic" like with a Cup String Phone,

or just a bit old school by making apointments when to meet next to a wired phone, and then call! :fingers-crossed:
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] jsusang:
[MENTION=1350876]newbit[/MENTION] Uninstalled GSF to deGooglefy the phones. For some reason, I lost the function to move apps from internal to external storage when I removed GSF from the Note9/Android 10.

I use F-droid and Aurora Store for apps instead of GPS. Never could get the Yalp Store app or fork to work.

How do you upload photos to the XDA forum if you don't use a photo hosting website?

There's a screenshot and explanation of Google EAlerts Experiment here:

https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S10/Location-Settings-EAlert-Experiment/td-p/1185350

It has something to do with Bluetooth services?

Although I didn't understand the guy in the YT video you posted, the vid was hilarious!
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] newbit:
Oh man, I love your wording!! Not sure if this is even possible?! I guess you have to low level format the whole Memory and OS to truly "deGooglefy" it.

But sorry, can't help you with your other topics.

There is a Manage Attachments function in the Forums Reply Mask. I just use this to upload my files.

Before this I use a FTP connection to get the files from the phone.

Nice, so it is related to the same service we want to get rid of. Thanks for sharing.

This also explains why I don't have it...

Best android 10 rom?

I'm currently using Lineage os (android 9).

For a year it ran smoothly. But now it started lagging a lot. Even the YouTube app lags.

Battery usage is ok but the cpu temperature goes up to 77°c(not overclocked). Around 20 gb space is empty, still it lags.

Thinking of installing Android 10 rom.

Any ideas which Q rom is good for heavy usage + good battery life and cpu temperatures?

Please help!

Device: Mi Max(hydrogen)
[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] kutumbaba:
Try this

Evolution X

Lineage OS

Been using that two ROM, stable on my Mi Max Hydrogen. Problem only when playing games like MLBB, sometimes freeze need to close it and relauch :)
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] cicci0:
Hello. i have 2 phones with the same defect.

They remain on the word asus, and restart.

Continuous bootloop.

I can access the fastboot mode but not the recovery.

I downloaded the firmware from the asus website, but I can't flash via fastboot.

how can you solve it?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] cicci0:
I add that I wish I could flash the original rom via fastboot, but being a zip format, it is not possible for me.

I also extracted the contents and flashed the file system (renamed changing the extension from "dat" to "img". But I got nothing.

I only get phone in fastboot.

Is there any .img format rom that you can flash, or the original recovery to be able to flash then through adb?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] cicci0:
THANK'S you for excellent support :)
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] Hikki1:
were you able to fix your device?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] r1c47:
Exactly the same thing happened to me. It started a few months ago but it would complete the bootup after a while. Now it just stays on bootloop and nothing else except for being able to boot into fastboot but I can't flash recovery or anything from there so I don't know what to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated since I was still using the phone but can't anymore from the looks of it. :(
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] Aries2376:
Any luck? I tried flashing stock rom through fastboot. It flashed properly but the problem still persists. I also rooted this phone before so the bootloader is already unlocked. I tried to flash TWRP but still it cant boot to recovery and still boot loops. I've tried the flashing the RAW rom also through ASUS Flashtool, still same results. Its really sad, I really like this device for gaming. Its still performs better than my S9 plus. My s9 has some very aggressive throttling issues. I am beginning to think that the UFS storage chip is dead. I cant seem to flash anything on the memory.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] here is johnny:
i ccan't figure this out does anyone can tell me the procedure?

were to download and how to install??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jimmyhawkin:
Do a search. on either google or on this forum before asking plz.

This question has been answerd before.

But sins there was no thread that was acualy called like your question ill post the answer and maby next time when someone search they will defenetly find the answer :)

Go to the link below and download the program and install it on your computer.

When its done it will install it on your phone aswell. (so keep it connectded to the computer while you install it)

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] desmondliew:
Go here

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en

If you read the instructions, it will tell u.

This package uses ActiveSync 4.0 to update the device. Before running NETCFSetupv35.msi, connect your device to your PC. If your device is not connected, ActiveSync will store the CAB file and will not install the package until you connect. If you are not using ActiveSync, run the CAB files on the device that correspond to the device–specific CAB files found in the install folder.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Kridek:
For now, it's not possible to download directly the cab file from MS site
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] schmeichler:
google for the following files:

- NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab

- netcfcfg.cab (saves yourself from editing registry)

You will identify trust-worthy locations easy ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sergiopi:
Easier than you can imagine.

Search MODACO forum ( www.modaco.com ) NETCFCFG.cab and NETCFv35.vm.armv4i.cab

Install both and you will have a simple application in program menu to choose between net 2.0 and 3.5. DONE :)

You can also choose to use 2.0 for some applications and 3.5 for other :)

"installation error. stop all applications and processes, maximize available storage space, and run installation again. Support info: 3"

Solution: I kill Kaiser Notification and then I can install .NET Framework without this problem. This app. using .NET Framework.

So I think the solution is in closing/killing all running applications.

I am running a tytn II, with the same problem. Install, i get the error. I can't uninstall, atleast not when I try through the 3.5 installer (remove or repair) or the "remove programs" on the kaiser.

I have hard reset the phone 2x,and regardless of whether I am installing from the exe or the cab file on the phone, still get the same error as everyone else.

This past time, i tried changing the name of the mscoree.dll under windows\ to mscoree.dll.txt and mscoree35.dll to mscoree35.dll.txt

same problem. I'm really beyond annoyed. Can someone help?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dctech7:
have a sprint diamond, how do i check which version i have and if its the newest?

it seems like all the programs i try and install say it requires a newer version than the one installed on the device but its only a month old so im not sure.. any help would be great..

thanks!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] GridUser:
I have the same question. I've searched all over and can't find an explanation of what .Net 3.5 is or how to find out if I have it already. I have a Sprint (CDMA) HTC Touch Diamond. Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Stay0Puft:
I had the same problem on my HTC Kaiser, but I found a solution.

I found a program that acts like safe mode on a computer.

So if you install that program and restart in safe mode (you need to select safe mode when you boot), you will be able to install the compact framework 3.5.

Probable some locked files prevent the normal installation.

The program is an evaluation version, limited to 14 days, but since you only need it for the framework, you don't need to keep if you don't want to.

The app: SafeMode 3
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] BastiFantasti:
...still not working on my touch diamond.

i've renamed the dll and tried the safe mode app. But I still get the same error.

btw: i have this problem since i installed a cooked rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] meltwater:
Thanks. Was also having the install issue (I had previously installed and then removed 3.5 but good old ms clearly didn't remove correctly).

Renaming mscoree.dll worked (I tried mscoree2.5.dll before but that didn't work as it was in use so I couldn't rename that).

Glad it worked, was facing dropping back to previous backups or installing a task manager to kill processes (a good task manager program will show all your processes), just to reinstall 3.5.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] larsjeee:
another thing that goes wrong with the 6.5 wm and tf3d installed:

when you go to the movies, and you put your phone into vibrate, with the left volume keys, the phone goes into vibrate fine,

but when you set it back to full volume, the next time someone calls, it only vibrates, you have to go to: Settings, Sound and change the ringtone manualy to make it ring again...

I still cannot find mscoree.dll. I looked in windows through file explorer. I even checked my PHM reged to see if it was there. Nope. The closest thing I could find was 'coredll.dll0409.mui'. anyone could possibly help? I did use 'show all files'. Thanks in advance.

Forgot to add, I'm using a Sprint CDMA diamond with stock ROM , wm6.1. I actually haven't tried to install the cab yet, but just wanna be ready in case I encounter issues.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] scottspa74:
For what it's worth...

I was afraid to install this arter reading of peoples' problems installing. So I read threads for 2wks, and never could find any mscorre.dll on my device. So finally, i just clicked on the netcf3.5arm4i cab and closed my eyes....Installed beautifully, no problems.

My only point in writing this is that i have the Sprint CDMA diamond with stock 1.93 ROM if that helps anyone to know- I know it would have helped me to know

I wxs afraid to run this install after reading other peoples' issues. Just put the arm4i cab ion your phone, dont play around with a PC, then click on cab. will install fine. I say this coming from stock ROM 1.93 sprint. All my fear and study for naught.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] devilsam55:
Works on HTC Diamond... Just read the instruction on the forum and remember to install onto the PHONE MEMORY
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] scottspa74:
On Internal storage, too

FWIW, I know how 'memory challenged' Diamonds are. I installed the NETCFwmarm4i.cab on my internal storage to see if it would work there....Worked fine. And as far as the 'configure' program, it seems unnecessary (I don't use it). Programs that need 3.5 will automatically find it and use it, ((don't need to set it as default')).

Hope this helps anyone
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] squidbutt:
i too get said error

help
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] scottspa74:
I didn't see what error you're reporting, but are you using the right cab for your device? there are 4 different cab versions, depending on what device you're using and what version wm you're using. on 6.1 on diamond, I installled the armv4i cab (to storage card/internal storage even) and works fine.

goog luck.

Error installinf .net cf 3.5

hi guys, im trying to install .net cf 3.5 so I could install the bsb tweaks. So I downloaded the .net cf 3.5 msi file from Microsoft to my pc, I plugged in my Hd2 and installed the .net cf 3.5 but i get an error saying "a later version of .net compact version is already installed. Does this mean I could just install the bsb.cab file to the hd2.

Thank 4 the help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] scottspa74:
give it a shot...;)

I would say just install bsb cab. I am still using Diamond, but I'm pretty sure 6.5 devices (like hd2) come with netcf3.5 preinstalled. You have a registry editor? You should be able to check in registry under HKLM/Software/Microsoft/NetFramework or something like that, to check which version you have.

Installing Compact Framework 3.5 HTC HD2

After removing "Microsoft .NET CF 3.5" using the Remove Programs utility on my HTC HD2 I found that when I tried to re-install it using the same cab file (NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab) I kept getting the error that a later version was already installed and that I should remove it first. I read many articles and tried renaming the dll file mentioned eleswhere on my PDA but it did not work. Eventually I connected it to the PC and started activesync, then used the CERegEditor program on my PC to look at the registry on the PDA.

There is a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/.NetCompactFramework

I found two keys here one for 2.0.xxx and another 3.5.xxxx.

I did try setting their Values to 1 or 0 etc but still no good. :(

I then took the plunge and deleted both keys and then I think I did a soft reset of the PDA. The installation proceeded normally after that and the problem is solved.:)

It worked for me and thanks to the many other people who have contributed.
