[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Android.Addiction:
Ok I made some progress on this issue. The app that I removed that caused this is:

com.samsung.android.lool

This is listed in this repo: https://github.com/khlam/debloat-samsung-android

The repository has this to say about the "Device Care" app:

Is there any other app I can use to analyze battery usage of applications on my tablet?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] blackhawk:
Device Care is a useful app. I use the original factory load version that came with my 10+.

It uses the suspected CCP spyware 360° cleaning app, which actually does a very good job. I simply firewall block it's untrustworthy a$$🤣

Latter Device Care versions aren't as useful but still have needed settings toggles. After you set them you can disable it. I recommend you not use battery optimization or and of those toggles, only toggle on fast charging. This app doesn't use a lot of power as best I can tell as long as the battery optimizing toggles aren't enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Android.Addiction:
I instead went with a separate app, AccuBattery, to monitor app battery usage. That way I'm not relying on potential malware from Samsung :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] blackhawk:
Accubattery can't do what Device Care does.

I use Accubattery too.

The newer versions dropped 360° so it's gone.

360° deep cleaning actually works very well and is probably no threat when firewall blocked. Which is why I still run the factory load version.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Android.Addiction:
What is 360?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Android.Addiction:
I still don't know what it actually is.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] blackhawk:
It's a cleaning app Samsung use to license to use in Device Care. Unfortunately the Chinese company that owned it was data mining user data so Samsung ditched them.

So I just firewall block it... it works well otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Android.Addiction:
What exactly does Device Care (or 360) do that Accubattery doesn't? I'm trying to decide if I want to re-enable it, and any details you provide here will help me understand a bit better to make that decision. Thanks for everything so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] blackhawk:
The old Device Care with 360° effectively cleans system logs files and other hidden caches.

Cleans some things SD Maid doesn't seem to touch. If you load the old version simply block it with Karma Firewall which uses almost no battery, ad free.

Battery stats are much more detailed in Device Care. It also has easy power mode settings... play with it. No harm, no foul.

I've got a TMO Alcatel JOY TAB 2 I'm going to root. I wanted to start a thread for it in the appropriate section. But it doesn't exist.

So I guess this is question is probably really directed to the moderators to create a JOY TAB 2 section under Alcatel Hardware.

So we can start QA's and the likes for these. :)

Thank you for all your time, and consideration.

Not all devices get a forum section here at XDA. There are many variables involved in whether a device gets a forum, they don't get a forum just because someone requests it. There is also a thread here where requests new forums for devices are supposed to be posted.

If your device is not extremely popular or does not have a very large community of users here at XDA or does not have a significant amount of custom development here at XDA, your device will not be given its own section.

If you want to create a thread or post some development that you have created, you can post it in the Android General Development section.
[General Questions and Answers] CTH-EVO:
Thanks for the reply, @Droidriven .

As to "There is also a thread here where requests new forums for devices are supposed to be posted."

I looked for this to see if it existed before posting this request. But came up empty. Guess I'll just have post to the General Dumping Ground, and hope for the best.

Thanks again! :)

[Google Pixel 5a] svetius:
It looks really good, but without a 90hz or higher screen, it's difficult for me to justify.
[Google Pixel 5a] GeraldLe:
I am curious if we can trick Google to recognize a 5a as a 4a 5G, for some free "High quality backup" in Google Photos - as there aren't many differences between the two devices. Same silicon, same RAM and storage configuration, almost the same screen size.
[Google Pixel 5a] lightuser:
I pre-ordered one. I got talked into it while asking about security/software updates on a budget phone forum here. It is more than I expected to spend, but people made me realize I don't know how to quantify the extra costs/risks of other manufacturers adding their own software on top of the android part that Google is patching.

I would be happy to pay less and reduce the specs further in some ways, but I am thinking about it as cost per year of software support, so I won't consider the older models that already have 1 or more years of their software life spent on the shelf... I'd probably be satisfied if it had 4GB RAM, 64GB flash, and LCD instead of OLED but with the same software. I am interested to see how the 5G works out w/ T-Mobile. (Edit: for reference, my current phone is a Moto G7 Play with 2GB RAM, 32GB flash, and a 720 pix wide screen. It is usable for me, but definitely shows its limits...)

Our last Google phone was a Nexus 5X. We went on a budget quest after that, thinking pixels were too expensive. We thought Moto was a decent value for a while, but I've been growing unhappy with their worsening software support. I.e. only 2 years and not even monthly on the budget models.
[Google Pixel 5a] jaseman:
Yep, preordered mine.
[Google Pixel 5a] Usneato:
No, I ordered the Galaxy S20 Plus from Google Fi for $50 less than the Pixel 5a. I am not a Samsung fan, but that's too much phone to pass up for $399.
[Google Pixel 5a] tcat007:
Undecided. Would like the larger screen. If TWRP was an easy install (compared to 4a), would jump on it. Will probably wait another year (or two).
[Google Pixel 5a] sschick77:
I was going to, but the camera overheating issue worries me. Want to see if that's prevalent in a wider adoption first.
[Google Pixel 5a] jaseman:
If I'm not mistaken the 4a5g as well as the 5 all have the same camera setup and all experience the same overheating issue. Therefore, if this is true and Google has not "yet" done anything to resolve the issue then either they are unwilling to fix the problem, or they are unable to do so. I'm still getting one because I rarely even use the camera on any phone.
[Google Pixel 5a] Zorachus:
I did pre order the Pixel 5a for myself, will get rid of my iPhone 12 Pro Max then. Last Pixel I used and still have as a secondary home device is the Pixel 4 XL, which I loved, except for the absolute crap battery life, that thing blew for battery stamina, other than that running Android 12 beta 4 on it and it's smooth as hot butter.

If the Pixel 5a has similar smooth performance as my 4 XL, I'm fine with that, but I really need great battery life for my job out in the field a lot and on the go, don't have time to charge often. And I thought last years Pixel 5 was a bit too small, and I find my 12 Pro Max a bit too large, so an in-between phone size is exactly what I want, and good battery life. 6" display too small, and 6.7"+ size too large.

Like I said if the 5a has similar smooth performance as my 4XL, then I'm all good.

And man I can't wait to be rid of iOS, just such a frustrating OS and screwy way it works and Apple Maps blows.
[Google Pixel 5a] newkydawg:
Pre-ordered one from Google Fi for the wife. $15/month for 2 years including insurance on their subscription plan. She doesn't want to give up her Nexus 6P so I may change over to it from my Pixel 3XL.
[Google Pixel 5a] diggmc:
I want to but currently I'm on a 4a and since it's not available in Canada, I'd have to jump through hoops to get one. I have a feeling Google will be asking too much for the 6/pro. I paid over $1000cnd for the Pixel 1 & 2, then dropped back to the 3a and now the 4a. I'm more than happy with the A-series phones.
[Google Pixel 5a] jaseman:
I'm no expert on things Canada, (though I was born there) but seeing how close it is to the US, and if the phone has the necessary LTE/5G bands could you not somehow import one at US prices?
[Google Pixel 5a] diggmc:
There in lays the trick. Apparently Google is clamping down on such shenanigans. Currently it appears my option is to have a friend who lives in Japan, order a US version, ship it there and pay import charges, then have him ship to me. I'm guessing but that'll put the cost of 5a into the 6/pro price range... And if that's the case, I'd be better off getting that directly from Google.

I'm the meantime, I'll hold onto my $'s and see what's what with the 6 and 6Pro and decide then. After all it's not like my 4a isn't doing the job

🙂
[Google Pixel 5a] MikeGator1:
I pre-ordered. I have been holding out on replacing my 2 XL. No newer features, even flagship, were that appealing and I held out as long as I could since I cracked the screen on the 2 XL. All I need is stock android updates and long battery time. I don't play games, so not terribly concerned with the 60hz.
[Google Pixel 5a] designwebs:
I preordered one as well. My first pure google phone. Can't wait to give it a try.
[Google Pixel 5a] F3AR420:
Pre-ordered mine along with the pixel a buds. Definitely looking forward to it. I know ill likely get one of the 6's as well lol.
[Google Pixel 5a] jaseman:
I received notice that mine shipped today. It's supposed to be here Friday EOD.
[Google Pixel 5a] shalabhvickysom:
If it ever launches in India, I am getting 2.
[Google Pixel 5a] jaseman:
Oh well, started the RMA for mine this morning. Freezes up too often when streaming YouTube videos. Hesitates too much when scrolling through web pages. Gets hot using camera. Still on June 5th patch???? Hate the Pixel launcher. Had to put Nova on it! Just cannot compete with my OnePlus 8T. Say what you will about the evolution of OnePlus...but my last 3 phones from them have all been great! Still hard to beat for the $$$$$ I highly doubt that I will ever buy another Pixel. $35.00 restocking fee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SMH
[Google Pixel 5a] lightuser:
Aside from the Google annoyances I knew I'd have to fight with, mine seems fine. I came from a lower budget phone so this feels pretty snappy by comparison. Mine is not running hot, and in fact has great battery life so far, but I am a light user. Mine has been on in standby for about 44 hrs with 2 hrs screen-on time, and is at 70% charge still.

I am a little surprisd by the display, with fonts sometimes looking a little fuzzier than I'd expect. I need to compare to my wife's phone which is also 1080 pixels wide, but I think this might be OLED vs LCD... I vaguely remember feeling this way with an OLED screen I had many years ago too.
[Google Pixel 5a] Zorachus:
So I put my SIM card in the 5a yesterday and truly started using it, and went to the Zac Brown Band concert last night took some great photos.

I'm a lifelong Nexus / Pixel guy, but the past 8 months been using a iPhone 12 Pro Max, my first iPhone in many years.

I have to say using stock Android again is such a pleasure and joy over iOS, just everything's better in using the phone. The gesture system is way batter on the Pixel than the iPhone, I like being able to also swipe back when taping and sliding on the right side of the screen. Just navigating around the phone is so much faster and more streamlined and just better on a Pixel vs iPhone in regards to gesture navigation. And of course swiping down on the screen drops down the notification shade which is always best, on the iPhone when you swipe down this strange weird search screen pops up, I just never understood what that's for.

No notch is great :) The little pin hole camera in the top corner is barely even noticeable, and looks so much better than the large hideous notch on my 12 Pro Max.

AoD ( Always on Display ) My goodness this is such a useful important feature all smartphones should have. iPhone absolutely needs to have it already.

Voice to text. Holy cow LOL. The Pixel does it ten million times better than the iPhone. I use voice to text a lot for texting and stuff, and the iPhone was pretty bad in getting my conversation accurate or correct, where the Pixel gets darn near perfect every time. Just seems Pixel phones handle voice command stuff way better. And thank the lord, back to saying " Hey Google" to search something or ask a question and it's instant fast and gets me an answer on anything.

Set default apps, yep no problem on the Pixel.

Drag an app icon and place it anywhere I feel like it on the screen. Uh hello Apple.

But...I still have my iPhone 12 Pro Max obviously and the one thing I can't argue is the design and build quality, this 12 Pro Max is built like a tank, and everything is so high quality, the screen tech is amazing such a perfect display, and the flat no curved edge is best. Speakers are great. Haptic vibration is great. The large size screen on the 12PM is amazing. Holding it in hand feels so hefty and the flat backs feels solid. Overall the iPhone 12 Pro Max phone is just a very well built high quality smartphone. But...it runs iOS ugh, it's just not my cup of tea, and feels so outdated and not well designed, but the iPhone hardware and quality is so great though.

I really like this iPhone 12 Pro Max size, the display is gorgeous, the flat screen the best. The quality high end build of this phone is superb and nothing I’ve seen Google produce with their Nexus / Pixel line has ever match the quality of this 12 PM. So yes I prefer stock Android far more, but I have to admit the quality and build, and beautiful display on the 12 Pro Max is hard to beat.

But iOS. Ugh.

I wish I could install a Pixel ROM on the iPhone 12 Pro Max LOL
[Google Pixel 5a] rochrunner:
Thinking about it but getting annoyed with the general "size creep" of smartphones in general. Each one I get is "only" a millimeter or two or three taller, but after a number of phones I end up with a phablet in my pocket!
[Google Pixel 5a] Gon Rouge:
I would like to get the Pixel 5a because I have heard good things about the Pixel 4a. My main concern with this phone other than the "Overheating issue" is how the phone is limited to the US & Japan market and I hope that does not mean even though the 5a is technically has the same specs as the 4a, 4a 5G, and the Pixel 5 but what if something is slightly different and like for example we can't install custom roms and stuff. I'm not sure if I should get this phone or just wait till prices come down on the 4a if it is the "better" phone for stuff like custom roms. But I what I really like about the 5a is and I gotten spoiled with is water/dust resistance smartphones and one that is brand new for only $449 with that feature and is not a flagship is really nice and will save you A TON OF MONEY overtime! Also I personally am not willing to pay $1100 for a smartphone. I am currently using my LG G6 and have been for the last several years but my battery is worn out and updates are no more and support with custom roms and stuff are limited. Especially because I got my phone through a carrier so I can't unlock the bootloader. Plus even though the 5a doe's have the "overheating issue" right now that is OK with me because my LG phone has a good camera for videos in 1080p 60fps but not the best for taking still shot photos on that phone. So what if the 5a might not be able to record 4k 60fps I don't use that anyway I just record in 1080p 60fps plus this phone is ONLY $449. Overall I have considered about getting this phone I just hope that Graphene OS and maybe some other cool custom roms and such will roll out as the phone is around, but I'm afraid that like I said this phone will not be the same as the 4a, and 4a 5g and be overshadowed by the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro when they come out later on this year and become forgotten.
[Google Pixel 5a] edufur:
I ordered the 5a and it was supposed to arrive on August 27th via FedEx home delivery. Here we are on the 31st and no one at FedEx knows where it is. It got lost in the distribution center. The agent at FedEx essentially told me that their "home delivery" service is essentially garbage. Here is my suggestion if you order one... The SECOND you see it get shipped, update the delivery to a pickup center.
[Google Pixel 5a] edufur:
Update: My pixel 5a has finally arrived and so far, I find it a bit underwhelming. The performance seems similar to my 4a and so far I have not been impressed with 5g service (if and when I can find it). The funny thing is, there is supposed to be 5G service all around me but you would never know it. In addition, the LTE speed tests are consistently ~ 10 MBps slower than my 4a is (in the same exact location). The larger display is nice I guess but it does add a slight awkardness to the phone. Overall, I don't see the value yet.
[Google Pixel 5a] derausgewanderte:
Got mine today as well. I like it. It's my first experience with a Google phone. Really the only thing I miss is 90Hz refresh rate but I am okay with that.

Looking forward to getting Android 12 hopefully soon.

cheers
[Google Pixel 5a] musichem:
I was using a OnePlus 6, but switched to Pixel 3a when I was traveling abroad and needed unlimited Google Photos backup. My old eyes and fat thumbs didn't appreciate the smaller size of the 3a.

Snagged a 4a5g (white) in July when they were going out of stock. Kept it in the box in my closet unopened waiting for the 5a to see if it would be a better option.

As soon as 5a was released, I was happy that I had the 4a5g and opened the box. 😊

For me, what's better than the 5a

1) unlimited Google Photos high quality backup - last phone that will ever have this

2) gorgeous white - I use a clear Spigen TPU case

What else sold me:

3) Google Fi option, should I need it

4) Headphone jack

5) Size similar to my OP6

6) GCam still the best

7) Still has great fingerprint scanner on the back where it belongs. I've had this forever (prior to OP6, I had a OP3, and before that, a Nexus 5x.

The only things better about the 5a are the bigger battery and the splash protection. But the 4a5g battery life is great compared to both previous phones, and I've never had a phone with splash protection, so I don't really miss it.

Things I don't care about:

1) wireless charging or fast charging - both of these ruin battery health much faster and I plan to keep the phone for the long term

2) 90+ Hz refresh rate - never had that, only "game" I play on my phone is Duolingo, care more about battery life

3) 5g - the 5g works, but honestly, LTE is fast enough, and is more reliable at my house due to low signal strength. 5g at the Atlanta airport a couple of weeks ago was so bad, I had to switch to LTE. It's great to have the option for future-proofing, though.

Thing that would make this phone even better:

1) Dual SIMs

2) SD card slot

3) and, ok, splash protection would be nice for peace of mind.

If I hadn't scored the new 4a5g, I'd buy one now on Swappa before getting a 5a.
[Google Pixel 5a] designwebs:
I have had my 5 a for about 3 weeks. Works great with Google Fi and no problems to report at this time.

[Google Pixel 5a] :
I think maybe you could patch the Google Play Services?
[Google Pixel 5a] Mokura3rd:
I'm thinking about getting one (moving from p3a) - I need more storage, and Google performance won't be much of a dealbreaker as I plan on using Lineage + minimal gapps. I just wish these had microSD slots, but cloud giants gonna cloud giant I guess 🤷‍♀️
[General Questions and Answers] narowal1:
Hello sir my friend deleted some of my projects important photos and videos yesterday and he also deleted from trash so can i recover it or not possible
[General Questions and Answers] svetius:
Not possible, though if you have Google Photos installed, they might have automatically been backed up to cloud. You can check by going to photos.google.com when logged into your google account
[General Questions and Answers] narowal1:
Not installed
[General Questions and Answers] nazhai:
Hi, nice to meet you. If there is no backup of the deleted photos and videos, first stop using it. Cause if they are overwritten by new data, there is no way to recover them back. Then you can ask help from pro shop. Or if you are good at computer, you can also use Samsung data recovery software to help you recover the deleted videos and photos back. There are so many such software online, but they are not free, too. Just have a try, and good luck to you.
[Kindle Fire General] S5830er:
I own a Kindle 3G and did put the SIM card into a Samsung phone but SIM card tools do say that the telephone number is not stored on the card.

I can receive SMS from Covid-Government but in the SMS tools only the numer of the sender is shown (not my own numner).

Also "*135#" or "*#62#" do not work.

Is there any way to find out my Amazon telephone number?
[Kindle Fire General] acrinym:
A tablet phone number cannot be called. You could use a Mobile Device Management software to acquire such information though.
[Kindle Fire General] S5830er:
Do you have a concrete example for such a Mobile Device Management software?

so i tried to flash my phone with dotOS which is a google pixel 2 (walleye) i flash it in twrp and i get error 1 i flash it in sdk tools it says like too big file and when i side load it it boots but loads forever like i had it on for 8h (timed) still loading
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Jorge_Certi:
Edit: i don't know if this is the right section of the forum. If not, please the moderators to move this post to the right section! thank you

When i use my pixel 5 it starts to heat up even if i use it to watch videos on youtube or watch some news on the internet

I tried to search the internet and the only thing that worked is to disable "limit wifi search" and "mobile data always on" in the developer options

This limits the overheating a bit but it is not enough

Has anyone encountered the same problem?

Any solution?
