It's been a spell since I've last logged into XDA Developers... something I used to do often in the days of hacking my Android phones.... something I did a lot of from early days through about 2017.... So.... I've been turned on to Ulefone phones and I have found them to be quite superior and cost effective against the miss-mash of your typical HTC, Samsung, etc. I've decided to take the plunge and root one of these devices (I own three) and thought to myself..... I said self?.... XDA is the place to go! Imagine my surprise when I found that there is little to nothing on Ulefone on XDA-Developers and Ulefone, among many other manufactures aren't even listed under Devices. Further, it appears that XDA has become just one giant blog. With the face lift I recognize nothing about XDA. Can't even find the listing of forums by devices and history that used to exist. Has XDA jumped the shark since I last participated? If so why? If not... will someone please explain what I am missing?

Thanks

These are cool. IR cam too. Was looking at them a while back but the Note 10+ fit my purposes better.

These are a great survial phone.
[General Topics] LR7875:
The answer is simple. It is because ulefone phones uses either mediatek or unisoc chipsets, which are not popular enough for the developers in XDA to own. Most XDA developers own Snapdragon or Exynos (or both) phones.

Ok, where is General Development listed on the navigation menu?

I tried to find it... three, four times.

The site layout is not intuitive, worse hitting the back key makes you have to start over on the menu options many times.

How hard is navigation here? I bookmark the Note 10+ forum🤣

Not to b*tch but damn I literally find these XDA sub forums by accident like viewing your post/links or when doing a Google search.

Meh...
[General Topics] Oswald Boelcke:
I certainly don't want to argue or to start a discussion how objective or subjective intuition is but I find General Development via https://xdaforums.com/ and then at all categories (left column, pretty much down). I'm just a moderator here and have nothing to do with the appearance of the website but I'm convinced it's not so easy to setup a site with I don't know how many fora but I know already with 3.5+ million threads. Personally (but I'm not well educated in this manner) I don't know a subject matter website of this size. And I'm convinced our admins as the relay stations to the backroom guys are always interested in constructive suggestions. So, please do not hesitate to share your suggestions.

[General Topics] blackhawk:
Thank you for the new tricks and doors😊

No intention to argue or rant... but damn it's noticable.

Ok I get it you have to actually tap on "forum" to get to next menu even through there are visible categories below it. Mr Wizard we know you can do it... yeah-yeah, sure-sure, right. Hell I'm not even sure of the navigation pathway half the time and it isn't shown... or is it?🤣 Hoping my fingers remember.

The problem is widespread, inconsistent in presentation and pervasive here. I normally ignore it because it's like trying to ID individuals in a school of sardines, just too many to bother trying to describe.

Worse I've seen what happens when they -try- to streamline features here. *groan*

The last edit button change is still fking with my dyslexic brain🤣 The funny part is was better the way it was before... so yeah any "fixes" here are scary and guarentee to cause spatial distortion.

Which is why I generally ignore them. Unfortunately a lot of this forum gets ignore as well because of the navigation labyrinth.

meh. 🥴
[General Topics] Oswald Boelcke:
Just for me to learn - although it has to wait till tomorrow as my usual logoff time approaches, what do you mean by "last edit button change"?
[General Topics] sd_shadow:
With a site as large as XDA it's difficult to create an easy-to-use directory.

Spoiler content hidden.

One issue could be: All Categories" is collapsed by default, so it's not obvious that it's not just device forums?

Personally, I would like to see a direct link to General Discussion and General Development in this bar.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] raydantheman:
Hi, I just tried taking my Cricket SIM card out of my OnePlus 7 Pro and putting it in another phone, and after I returned it to the 7 Pro, I got a notification that my line was suspended. So I proceeded to call Cricket customer service and asked why this had happened.. They said that the Network is changing to 5G and that this phone(the OnePlus 7 Pro) was no longer going to be supported after Feb 2022 because the 7 Pro is considered to be a 3G compatible phone and that all 3G compatible devices will no longer work after that date.

My question is: Are all carriers doing this? If not, What are the Carriers that will remain 3G-Backwards-Compatible?? I really do not want to buy a new phone as I bought this 7 Pro for over 600 bucks. Any help/information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You may need to open your phone and make sure the parts are dry, but that is too hard to do anyways. If you still have warranty go to a service center.

Putting it in a drawer for more time might fix it , but it could also make things worse.

There are some more things that can possibly fix it, like putting it into a sock and swing it but no guarantees that it will work.

[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
If your device's Android is version 5 and higher then getting the superuser access to be able to control various aspects of Android OS means you need to perform a certain modification that will root your phone's Android and you will have access to the /system directory of your device.

Here is what you have to do to root your device's Android: Replace Android's Toybox binary - what is a restricted version by default - by unrestricted Toybox v0.8.5.

This can get achieved by means of ADB.
[General Questions and Answers] elpideus:
Well, how can I change the Toybox binaries in the system partition if my device is not rooted? As far as I know to do so the device must be already rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
You simply install a Tempory ROOT what's matching device's CPU-architecture

adb devices
adb push <PATH-TO-SUITABLE-SU-BINARY-HERE> /data/local/tmp/

3D Modeling Kit, another service with graphics- and image-related technologies provided by Huawei. This AI-powered kit automatically generates 3D models and physically based rendering (PBR) texture maps, to satisfy the needs for efficient 3D model and animation creation.

Utilizing Huawei-developed algorithms, 3D Modeling Kit supports all Android devices with minimal hardware requirements. The kit can collect all details of an object for modeling, by combining mutual visibility information of images taken from different angles of the object and estimating the depth of field of the image. This process does not require any special devices such as RGB-D or light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors. Using just a mobile phone with a standard RGB camera, 3D Modeling Kit can generate a 3D model with 40,000 to 200,000 patches. Moreover, the kit cuts modeling costs and is more efficient than conventional manual modeling methods. Once the kit has been integrated, it supports data collection and upload, as well as model preview and download. 3D Modeling Kit can separate the object from its background, so it is able to generate models that have sharp and smooth edges with no background. It is undoubtedly an ideal option for creating product models, teaching, creating games and animations, and making short videos.

This kit uses an AI-powered tool to convert one or more RGB images into four PBR texture maps (diffuse, normal, specular, and roughness maps). These maps, supported by mainstream rendering engines, can bring a level of lifelike lighting and shading. Generally, a large amount of realistic textures are needed in the gaming and video industries. Now, with 3D Modeling Kit, developers can create desired textures in a highly intuitive way, rather than create them from scratch.

EDIT 2022-06-30: FOUND A RELIABLE SOLUTION FOR MY NEW T307U TABLET! May work for other models! https://xdaforums.com/t/bought-a-sa...e-it-as-a-normal-tablet.4316969/post-87091297

Original post from 2021-08-09 below:

Following this thread to no avail: https://xdaforums.com/t/doordash-knox-customized-tablet-unable-to-remove.3890522/

Setup requires an internet connection, at which point it sets up MobiControl:

My friend's an IT so he set up Meraki for me which I can enroll in instead of MobiControl, but a minute later this pops up:

I still have access to the settings but cannot enable USB Debugging.

I flashed a combination file which got me to the "factory binary" where I can unlock OEM and enable USB Debugging, but I don't know where to go from here:

I flashed a stock ROM, but that doesn't get rid of doordash and MobiControl during setup.

Please help!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] XDA.Samsung:
Which Android version did you flash? Did you finally get rid of MobiControl?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] genesisboy4:
I solved this. Basically, I accidentally bricked the tablet, which I assume is what caused Samsung Knox to fail and thus Mobi Control didn't try installing on a fresh flash of Android 8.1. Fuller story below:

After 3 days straight of trying to reset the tablet, including flashing the combo file, trying anything I can think of, re-flashing the stock rom and seeing if the problem is gone, I finally fixed it.

What ended up happening was, while re-flashing the stock rom on my 4th attempt, I flashed the AP but not one of the other things (I guess CP?) which resulted in the tablet getting bricked.

Long story short, I held both volume buttons and power to boot into a blue download mode (as opposed to a black one via holding power down + volume and selecting download mode, since the volume down + power nor the volume up + power combos weren't working) and flashed the stock rom to it properly.

Upon setup, I was still required to set up wi-fi, but it didn't attempt to install mobicontrol! I've been using the tablet normally since. Who would have known accidentally bricking the tablet was all I needed to do!

Which version of firmware were you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] genesisboy4:
I think I installed android version SM-T387V_1_20200520121029_yelpqjg66y_fac.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] XDA.Samsung:
Thank you. It looks like it's Android 9. Did you update it to Android 10?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] genesisboy4:
It's Android 8.1. If that file I mentioned is 9, then it's not the one I flashed, but was instead on my to-do list of troubleshooting steps. I was going to try flashing Android 9 and 10 but I got it working with 8.1 so I'm keeping it on that. Plus, the newer the android, the more secure Samsung Knox will be, so it will be harder breaking it.

"The fact that it has MobiControl installed suggests it's a company device, and is therefore administered by that company's IT department. It's probably going to be difficult to remove MobiControl unless you talk to that IT department about it."

The above is a quote I found regarding Knox and the MobiControl app. Which tells me that this thread, although likely unintentional, is violating XDA Forum Rule #9:

XDA does not wish to be held liable for circumventing device security regardless of intent of the user, which is why I'm closing this thread.

After upgrading to 1.93: No "advanved" tab in phone options, Push-email setting lost

Hi,

I have successfully upgraded the ROM of my unbranded Diamond to 1.93 using the German ROM file downloaded directly from htc.com. Everything went Ok, the phone is well and faster as before. However I notice the following things:

a.) In the Phone options (on the phone page, tap menu->options) I have all tabs from Phone (leftmost), Services, Network, etc. etc. and Others (rightmost) but next to that the "Advanced" tab is supposed to be there --- but it is not! (Of course the German version should show this tab as "Erweitert").

b.) Before the upgrade there was a "Microsoft Push e-mail" setting in the TFL3D settings page. This is not there anymore.

Any ideas anyone?

BTW: Can anyone point me to a page describing how to get push-email going with my diamond using a free push-email provider on the internet? Thanks.

Cheers // Tom
