Is there anyway to use my Netscape dial up service on a Pocket PC phone?

I am looking at either the Samsung SCH-i760 or XV6800 from Verizon.

I was told you need the modem driver and maybe to flash to a non-stock ROM?? :confused:
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] texas7412:
So recently my v30+ suffered a sad fate and the display died on me, so i turned to using an external display via dongle (type c to hdmi) And for some reason it's been VERY laggy as if it was only 2fps, i've rebooted the phone, changed resolution, to no avail, it was working fine for about a week now its totally unusable due to it being so laggy.. Any ideas as to what could have caused this? Thanks.

Hi,

I have problem with comm manager. If I tap in home screen on menu bar and then click example network so open bubble a can click on comm manager. If I clic on this link so comm manager doesn't open. But if I go to other menu (programs, setting, file explorer....) and try click on menu bar and than comm manager is opening OK. Comm manager doesn't open in home menu (TF3D), but other screen is all OK.

Do you know how this problem fix?

Thanks Jan
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] myth.71:
I don't know why it happens, but I have the same problem.

The name of Comm Manager shows up at the top left corner for half a second or so, but nothing happens.

It seems as if it starts and crashes immediately.

But not always.

Sometimes it works fine.

So, Im trying to figure out a way to safely disable the Samsung Dialer. Ive already installed the google dialer but I broke the calls when i uninstalled it the first time. Im trying to figure out which package is the one to disable. Trying to remove as much Samsung as possible
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] galaxys:
Good to see this Debloat for the OnePlus, etc....
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] lyzgaard:
If you are new to this and your device will be an inevitable workstation for a couple of months I would wait with the most crazy debloat.

You can only disable things you know of, if you disable bixby bixby wont work, at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Saluzzo97:
Hi everyone, if I do an OTA update the process will reinstall debloated apps?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] lyzgaard:
No.

You can double check by seeing number of installed apk in settings.

But I never had a problem with debloated app reinstalling.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Saluzzo97:
Thank you very much!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] bluediablito:
Hello all, it has been sometime since I rooted my phone / removed all the extra crap lol.

Is there a way to know what each Items do?

I know in the past the roms would be debloted and you had a stock rom and had the option to add what you wanted.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] AtrixBomb:
Nice start with original post. I'm also looking for any further explanation or categorization of s21+ bloat please?

If uninstalled, can app be reinstalled manually from play store if desired later?

What phone is best for clean customizable ROM now?

Guessing Pixel series, but what else... OnePlus?

I've custom rom'd my s3 to s8, but now want to have Netflix working on my s21. Just don't want apps I never use taking up space and populating the share menu options, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] xkawsx:
does debloating drain battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] lyzgaard:
There are a couple of apk's who can drain battery if you deleted them.

I don't remember their name but if you debolat them the phone won't get into deep sleep....

But you can always double check if the phone enters deep sleep by installing CPU Spy from Play Store.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Lartsch:
Just a little headsup on two packages you should NEVER disable!

Device Services (com.samsung.android.kgclient) - If you disable this, you will LOCK YOURSELF OUT of your phone (Error 3020). Chances are good to recover from this if you have TWRP installed or USB debugging always enabled. Otherwise a factory reset is the only solution. Nevertheless, this is a core component and WILL cause problems if disabled.

Device Security (com.samsung.android.sm.devicesecurity) - If you disable this, app installations will take significantly longer (about 5x). Not sure why, but better leave it.

In general, if you are not 100% sure what a package does, leave it! Even if someone on the internet says "I disabled it and had no problems"... There is a high possibility that you don't achieve optimization by disabling, but crippling your device and creating lots of errors in the background you don't know about (thus using more battery).

As far as I can tell, the list in the OP seems reasonable though.

@AllAboutTech Might be helpful for beginners if you add those 2 warnings to the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Lartsch:
You can always use ADB to re-enable apps, as long as you just disabled them (not uninstalled).

Connect to your phone via ADB and use the following command:

adb shell pm enable <package_name>

// Edit: I guess the ADB AppControl from the OP also allows to re-enable apps.

If you have uninstalled system apps, some of them might be re-installable via Play / Galaxy Store, but definitely not all.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Lartsch:
Someone over at the S20 forums made a pretty good list some time ago:

Google Sheet
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] lyzgaard:
That's strange. I always delete both of these without any poblems.

Device Security it's part of the Macfee antivirus thingy options.

I always get rid of because I think Play Protect does the job.

When I delete this all that's happens is that the Security Option is gone from Device Care Settings.

And I don't get those anyoing security notifications about enable it.

No problem with app install.

As for kgclient that's part of the Samsung Payment Service, I have never had any problems with deleting it.

That said, I have never used Samsung Pay.

Im on S21 Ultra european model unbranded right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Lartsch:
Hey, that's interesting. A friend also tested and confirmed the lock out / slow install.

Is your device encrypted?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] lyzgaard:
No I haven't encrypted it, also I don't use Secure Folder.

Maybe this has something to do with Knox Vault on encrypted phones?

Samsung Pay is also a part of the Knox vault.

Exynos, modell named SM-G998B/DS
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Lartsch:
Yep, I also guess it's the device encryption then. Not necessarily Knox (at least I could disable each Knox package without any problems).

What's your exact firmware code?

Hi, can you tell us which apps cause battery drain if disabled please?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] kc-guy:
A little help please:

I'm not able to detect my S21 in ADB AppControl when connected from USB-C to USB-C, even when using the Samsung original C-C cable. Using a USB C-A dongle and an alternate cable fails as well. I've confirmed that the phone is in Developer mode.

I've downloaded the Windows drivers from Samsung, and still no joy. I can see the phone in Windows when connected by other modes (transferring files, USB tethering, MIDI, transferring images), but the phone is never detected in the ADB AppControl program.

Any thoughts?

Is there a way to debloat by input a list to the uninstall cmd, like:

Does anyone know how to do it?

Edit - NM, figured it out. I was a little happy in the disabling of apps. Pretty sure I disabled a couple that are needed but not sure exactly which because I changed so much at once.

[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] Darketix:
Hi, I'm pretty new to installing ROMS. Infact I don't even know what unlocking bootloader means and how to do all this stuff but I would like to learn how.

I heard that rooting/installing roms is specific to each device and brand and since I use a Redmi 9 ,here I am.

I would like to get help on the following topics:

-How do I unlock my bootloader? Does it void warranty? Can I lock my bootloader again at the time of selling?

-How do I install a Custom ROM and Custom recovery? This might be a noob question but I seriously dont want to brick my device or anything.

-Do I need to root my phone to install a Custom ROM?

Any links to these topics would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] Jaberbenet:
You'll probably be better off if you go to Google and YouTube and do some research on your own. About the bootloader its possible to relock it but the status may change to relocked.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMadHeader:
I have an old Motorola G5S and a new G8 Plus.

The old G5S was great with the GPS location but the G8 Plus is giving me some hassle.

I'm swapping the same SIM card between the two phones to try this out.

I'm using Google's Find My Device to see the locations.

The G8 Plus sometimes puts the phone about half a mile from where it really is and consistently gets it wrong where the wrong place is always the same wrong location. Sometimes it will flip back to the correct location and I can force the phone to get it right by using the 'GPS Status & Toolbox' app to clear the GPS data - this immediately works ..... for a while, then it will randomly go back to the wrong location again.

I've been trying all kinds of suggestions that I've found on google, for example the suggestions on this page:

https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...showing-wrong-gps-location-on-android.763311/

but with no luck at all.

Any ideas please? This appears to be an issue with the brand new G8 Plus but what else can I try?

Help me guys so i have my phone rooted via patched boot.img provided by Magisk but then decided to grab my stock boot.img to patch it again so i can update to v22.0 then i restart my device to access for fastboot and everything went blackscreen(i can't even see anything literally) luckily for me i memorize the key command to access fastboot so i flashed my stock boot.img , recovery.img and vendor.img but now my phone won't start

This thing shows up

yes it's provably stupid to flash stock boot.img , recovery.img and vendor.img but i panic everything went all black even the BLU logo is black (no backlight phone)
[Magisk] Oliie23:
What phone do you have? I think one way to try is to flash the boot.img, then boot into recovery from adb and try instaling full android from there. I haven't tried this yet but in a few hours I just might
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
well that escalated quickly i just want fully update Magisk now i need to install full stock rom :cry::cry:

If I'm thinking correctly you won't lose data. Just dirtyflash it and it should work fine

and would you look at that :LOL: good as new :D

i thought Magisk is systemless but somehow my system.img got corrupted

Great news. So how did you obtain the system.img? Did you flash just that and it booted? Do you have a custom recovery?

[Magisk] Oliie23:
Wonderful news. So in your case it would stay in Fastboot and wouldn't launch? What did you do then?
[Magisk] Sebi673:
tried flashing the new version via twrp but i was met by an error right after unpacking. At that point i couldn't save the logs sadly.

followed by device corruption warn on boot w/ the usual bootloop.

twrp, fastboot and flashmode were ok but simply flashing the boot img didn't work - had to do a full sys flash and then magisk.

[updatee] screens attached
[Magisk] Oliie23:
Mine won't go into TWRP from the Fastboot unfortunately. It just stays there. I've managed to get TWRP to launch from ADB but I'm not sure if I should just flash the ROM that way. Should I?
[Magisk] Sebi673:
[duplicate]
[Magisk] Sebi673:
flash the rom, don't wipe your data. should be fine. after try the older version of magisk - worked fine for me
[Magisk] okchinmaya:
How did you boot to recovery? My phone won't do even that.
[Magisk] ineedroot69:
you can't boot into recovery ... my phone is completely black i just know im on fastboot because i type "fastboot devices" and it's listed it so i was avail to flash partition :Dalso going on fastboot is trial and error i know this v22.0 update is quite troublesome
[Magisk] Oliie23:
I downloaded newest TWRP .img file and placed it in the adb folder. Then once I've booted into fastboot (bootloader) I opened a CMD window in the adb folder and entered the following (without quotations): "fastboot boot twrp-3.5.0_9-0-enchilada.img" where the last part is of course the name of the recovery file.
[Magisk] okchinmaya:
I tried that and now I can't boot to anything at all. I'm getting a red blinking LED.

Did you get a TWRP for your phone?

Yes I did. My device was already unlocked and using a custom recovery (OrangeFox) before this.
