[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I realize this post is from last year, but I just ran across it and wanted to give my input in the event it may help somebody. As most TextNow subscribers are aware, T-Mobile's prior acquisition of the Sprint network is now geared towards shutting down the Sprint 3G & 4G networks nationwide. In fact, the lights have already went out on the former, while the 4G side is slated for complete shutdown by mid-2022. Accordingly, TextNow is presently migrating all subscribers over to T-Mobile's GSM 4G-LTE/5G nationwide network. Subscribers who were already using Sprint compatible devices are receiving free upgraded GSM SIM cards from TextNow to make the transition seamless. Unfortunately, this will likely be the end of all the free high speed 4G-LTE data subscribers enjoyed while connected to Sprint's network. This free data exploit was due to a proxy anomaly caused by the default reverse tunneling settings of certain brands and models of smartphones. While the knowledge will do little good now, the "restrictions" of using the data device-wide, across all apps and services, could be bypassed by setting up pdaNET+ on the TextNow device as host access point. Then, by enabling a WiFi direct hotspot via local proxy, the connection could be shared by a Windows 10/11 PC or laptop, by way of the pdaNET+ client-side setup. Then, by using the native Windows 10/11 hotspot feature, the data connection could be resolved and shared by other mobile devices in a normal device-wide manner. So while the TextNow host device would be unable to use the data across all apps and services, any devices connected to the Windows hotspot would have unfettered and unrestricted use of the data. Depending on how tech-savvy you wanted to be, the Windows PC Ethernet port could be used to traffic the data into a home router or extender for expanded sharing. Great while it lasted. I just recently received my TextNow GSM SIM in the mail, and haven't yet had time to experiment with data connectivity or exploits thereof. I will keep my findings posted here as I probe the uncharted waters .

So as you might or might not know, there already is a pseudo free data that is running on the google servers. Example: open a browser and search through google and you will get the results, its slow so I'm assuming its 3g. but they have a firewall that is blocking every other site unless its running via google servers.

You could theoretically setup a google hosted server yourself, maybe rent a cloud server out from google and run programs through there. run a tunnel through that for unlimited data on the phone. Someone just has to figure out how to do that.

For anyone reading this and wondering what we're talking about. Textnow is a free phone app you can use with their SIM/network and never pay a dime for phone service and texting, including media texting. It's totally free.

If this were to be more useful in terms of what sites we could visit, it would be a lot more lucrative.

Another idea I had, if someone has a pentesting rig that can run this network and see which ip addresses are being blocked, we could start building a list of sites that are whitelisted, both IP's and hostname resolved (http/s for example) this would allow us to see where we can start digging to find a place to setup a tunnel here.

I know that google has server hosting via their cloud computing network, you can even host DHCP style servers on it, so you could theoretically use this to tunnel through if the google server IP range is whitelisted. which it might be..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nostii:
Google has an VPN that's free with Fi, so maybe you can pay for the VPN if you don't use Fi, therefore it's going through Google servers to then the user, so maybe if it costs less than TN's 1GB plan, we could consider it if it works.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] StoneyJSG:
Those instructions are for another bootloader. Your bootloader is locked, which is why TWRP won't install. There is no way to unlock it or downgrade. You also can't boot AOSP based ROM like Lineage OS. What you can do is root the phone and install touch wiz based ROM like Golden eye ROM by using the flash fire app if you're on lollipop or safe strap recovery if you're on kit kat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] WaLeC_TW:
Big Thank You for your suggestion and answer on my question.:good:

Right now I have Lolipop installed on the phone so related to this above I can only install something with touchwiz. Hope it will let me to change language to the Polish. :rolleyes:

Would you be able to point me some links to instruction, please. I try to find this on forum but failed (getting ROM for nintendo). At least links to the software so I can try using flashfire app. The best it will be instruction, as I have situation in which when I use this app phone want boot after. Maybe it was related to the software, which I shouldn't use or maybe I do this in not proper way.

For everything what I get I'm saying thank you. :highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] StoneyJSG:
No problem, I help when I can. The flash fire app you can get from the Google play store I believe, but your phone might need a specific version like the Verizon S4 does I don't know. The touch wiz ROMs are in this forum under Android development, go there and you should see ROMs like golden eye which is a touch wiz based ROM.

Here's a link that might help you, but the S4 is an old phone so it's hard to find links and guides that aren't buried deep in the forum posts.

[Realme 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] doveman:
I accidentally did "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" when trying to flash the stock recovery and now it just boots into recovery all the time. I was able to reflash TWRP so I can boot into that and I've restored the Boot partition from the backup I made but that didn't help, so I tried restoring the vendor image and system image, which didn't help either. Then I tried restoring the individual backups I made of the dtbo, EFS, modem, persists and recovery+vbmeta but it still boots into TWRP when I try to boot into system.

I hope someone can help me fix this, as I bought it to give to my brother for his birthday in a couple of weeks!

I note that the recovery.img is 65,536KB, which is the same size as my backed up boot.emmc.win but obviously they're not the same thing.

EDIT: OK, panic over! I wiped System and installed the A20 ROM from the ozip and it's working again now. Phew!

[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] Thelm76:
Hi!

I was wondering if vr headset would have a good quality with this phone, and which ones are compatible?

If you have one or know one that could fit my poco f2 pro, please share your references below :D
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] Thelm76:
Well,

As nobody has replied yet, I ordered a very cheap VR Headset. The phones seems to fit in there, I'll tell you more when I get it.

The headset can be found around 10€ instead of 60€ on amazon (I'm french :) ) and has good reviews. It's the Freefly VR beyond, and I know it looks kinda... weird.

EDIT: Please do not buy this one! I know it is cheap, and I managed to use it for a few hours, but the optics can't be adjusted so... You'll never have a proper image with it if you haven't the perfect IPD, and your eyes won't be able to properly focus...
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] Thelm76:
I ordered an other model since last time which is this from the company Shinecon (re-branded as Hamswan) The optics seems very good (no Fresnel lenses), and you can adjust easily the IPD (interpupillary distance) and independent focus for each eye.

The only thing not practical on the one I chose is that there is no button to touch the screen and select things. Also the headset nose emplacement is a little weird and can hurt a little if you haven't a small nose. But overall the optics seems good and I think you could buy from this company, just you should choose another model with a button.

Here are some pictures from the one I got :

View attachment 5183343

And the weird nose emplacement ^^' :

View attachment 5183345

By the way you can place very big phones in this headset.

So I think you can choose a more recent option from Shinecon (or rebranded Shinecon) WITH A BUTTON and maybe a different kind of lenses adjustments as they are kinda sensitive (and also a better shaped nose ^^')

[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] Fangstergangsta:
how do you use this and with what? It's possible to use it as an oculus to cast the screen of the pc?
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] kopter36:
For me, its not worth it. Im using zeiss vr one (glass optic) but the pixel are very visible. Movie are ok i guess but not games.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] mathey:
It's because of the physical pixel density of the screen, probably. The screen diameter is large and the native resoluition is still only FHD+. Probably, with the higher resolution it would be better. That's probably why the overal impression for me was better on Nubia than on the POCO (almost same resolution, but smaller screen). I rather do not play games, but for the movies I've also bought the Fiit VR 2N goggles in the meantime and with the correct qr code setting it looks for me noticeably better for the pixel look. Maybe with games it would be better too.

I'm also wondering how it would work with the Baofeng Moijng S1.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] SCUMBAG_TF:
Device Model: SM-T720

Firmware Version: T720XXU1ASCF

I am currently trying to bypass FRP on the Galaxy Tab S5e. Upon attempt to flash the combination ROM, I get the error "Please get approval to use factory binaries (pit)".

Odin Log:

I have also tried creating an ADB enable boot file, to no success.

Furthermore, a Z3X Pro Box does not unlock this tablet either. I attempted to extract the PIT from the device to flash alongside the combination firmware, the PIT extracted successfully but upon flashing, it gave the error "Please get approval to use factory binaries (abl)". The "Unlock" section also does not provide any help.

Hong Kong firmware flashes, but still continues to boot into USA firmware. If you check the "NAND Erase All" the device fails to boot into OS, just hangs on "Samsung" logo (no 2nd stage of boot).

As far as I am aware, there is no FRP bypass through system UI.

If anyone can be of help, it would be highly appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] drwahm:
I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 LTE (SM-T297) from Turkey, under the impression that it can be used for incoming and outgoing calls since it has a 4G/LTE sim (1 slot).

The SM-T297 is the same as the SM-T295. All the reviews on youtube etc show that it can make calls.

I called Samsung, they said it can only be used for sms messages and data 4.5G.

I tried downloading a few dialers but did not work. I need to use my device for regular phone calls/calling.

Is there any other firmware of (SM-T295) LTE that can substitute which can be suitable for the SM-297 ? or is there a way to add or install a Samsung Phone app to activate the Tab phone option ?

My Tab is running an official Samsung update (T297JXU3BTFE) to Android 10. If i flash an SM-T295 (T295XXU3BTFE) will it work or will i risk losing my device ?

If anyone is having issues registering fingerprints with the dome protector... you need to press fairly hard to get it to register. You also have to register each finger twice. Once it's done it seems to be okay with reading the fingerprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] umx:
this is common with their stuff. same thing on the s20 ultra i had.. think im going to run no temp glass for now. i dont like having to press so hard i think ima break my ****
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Snowleopard1900:
I haven't installed my Dome screen protector yet, but I don't do the fingerprint thing either so I am not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] JLine05:
Even pressing hard and registering each finger twice, it still sucks. Optical fps on my OP7P was way faster (with dome as well).

I should have used the fps prior to installing so I knew how good it was before. I'm torn between ease of use but no extra protection and dealing with a **** fps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] butchieboy:
Hmmm mine is just fine. I don't have to press hard at all. The way I register my prints...I alternate left and right different positions for all 4 entries.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Carlrobling:
I just got mine installed today. This is the first inscreen fingerprint reader I've used. To be honest I'm not a fan. But seems to be the same pain to me lol. I'll take it over the power button fingerprint reader any day. But I've always been impressed with whitestone since the note 8/ s8. The fit on the 20 ultra is much nicer. They have definitely progressed with fitment. Not to mention i got 2 screen protectors and 2 camera protectors for $65 from their website. Worked out great since I upgraded along with my wife.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] felloffthetruck:
WSD installed on my Ultra for about 4 days now and the fingerprint scanner is definitely impacted with the glass on.

FPS was real snappy and quick without the WSD glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] LiquidHonesty:
Interesting....I have WSD to install on my Note20U but might hold off. Anyone know why it's crap? Ran it on my OP7P and OP8P with IDFPS just fine the whole time. Why is the Samsung reader different? Anyone know?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] kurtA:
I've installed whitedome today and while i agree fingerprint scanner is not as snappy, at least in my case it still works pretty good. I've increased touch sensitivity too. Quite happy with the purchase
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] wacko99:
I've installed Whitestone last week and finger scanner is definitely not reliable anymore. The glass clarity is great though..

No issues here at all have the Whitestone Dome and the Camera Whitestone on my AT&T Note20 Ultra 5G 512GB, With the UAG Monarch case on which Dome is compatibly with, Also barely have to press the screen fingerprint is very fast , works 120% for me.

I find that the fingerprint scanner works better if your thumb is slightly damp
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] dafish69:
Once fingerprints are setup I haven't had any problems. Setting them up was the pain. Setting them up was not a issue before the install. Whitestone recommends setting up new fingerprints after the install but I'm starting to believe setting them up before the install is the better solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Tidbits:
I second this. I had my fingerprints setup, but I didn't use a WD protector. I have no trouble using my fps after installing it. I tried adding my other thumb and it was a pita. Doing that thumb twice I have not had trouble unlocking the device with that thumb.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] seczdbz:
The Samsung reader is different technology. The OP fingerprint scanners are optical while the Samsung ones are ultrasonic...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] LiquidHonesty:
So just put my WD on today, also noticed there was a pamphlet inside it telling me to turn the touch sensitivity up. By doing so it works, but yeah you have to push. I found you have to push harder even before the WD was on the phone too compared to like the OnePlus phones, they really have a better fingerprint sensor :(

For now, have face unlock and FP turned on....

Another issue, Lastpass does NOT want to read my FP at all after the install :( I kept my previous fingerprints and added them again too...so it works if I press.........just odd.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] DeSeaseD:
I don't believe pressing firmly is the issue. I think it's the LOCA or whatever it's called. I took the perspective of and have no issues now. I may try a dry application screen protector soon.

(Weirdest) Pro Tip: Lick your finger.

I'm sure there's some solid scientific reason why it works (and I assume it has something to do with a wet finger providing more optically-friendly moisture for the FPS light to bounce around in), but seriously...licking your finger works.

I fought for 15 minutes and a reboot trying to reregister my thumbprint, and it kept telling me to "Press a little harder," or "Make sure your finger is covering the entire area," or just not doing anything at all. I wondered if my screen was dirty, so I wiped it down with my comforter (because I was in bed at the time) - nothing. Wiped my finger down thinking it was the issue - nothing. Wondered if my finger wasn't quite clean enough still, so I licked it (yeah, gross, I know, but don't judge me lol) and wiped it off. I noticed my finger was a little tackier when put it to the screen (which makes sense as saliva isn't necessarily "slick" like water), and BOOM! the reader started picking my finger up consistently every time I put it down over the scanner.

Isn't technology grand? 🥴
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] kickenwing13:
So, originally I bought a two pack. Fingerprint sensor was awful with my first one so I decided to take it off and try fresh install after the white stone people told me I must have installed it wrong because it works perfectly fine.

That one was cracked on arrival apparently. So I didn't get to use it. My replacements just got here and I installed my third one within the month so I'm getting pretty good at it, and fingerprints still is sketchy. Thought about re-registering all of them but I only had one print registered and then registered it again after putting the screen protector on. I have the ultra sensitive thing turned on as well. It's pretty rough to be honest.. but it does feel nice and it is definitely protective, you know that. For me, it has not been reliable though with the fingerprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] kickenwing13:
Update deleted and re-registered after replying to this and it seems better but still is a huge step down from not having the screen protector on. It is better than it ever has been for me though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] LiquidHonesty:
I feel you, there are people on here that say it works fine, but I can't get it or the anfilm glass either. Love the feel of glass but I guess you have to have DEEP ridges on your fingers for it to work. It's crap otherwise........
