[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Craphead:
Hey guys, pretty sure a lot of people out there are using a smartwatch along with their Pixel so maybe someone can help me with this: when my Galaxy Active 2 smartwatch is connected most of the time I can not use voice input with Google Assistant / search. When I wake up the Assistant by long-pressing power the device starts listening but apparently can't hear me. When I disable Bluetooth or power off the watch everything's working just fine.

The weird part is this though: most of the time the watch is connected, a Bluetooth icon with two dots on the left and right can be seen in the status bar, but not

always

! And only when the icon is NOT there, while the watch is STILL connected and fully usable, voice commands DO work! What on earth is going on there?

Same thing with the camera app: when the watch is connected and the icon is there, the cam app tells me a Bluetooth microphone is connected. When the watch is connected and the icon is NOT there, the app doesn't tell me. With the cam it is not a problem either way though because here I can choose what audio source I wanna use, while in the Google app I can't.

Any ideas?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
It seems that your Galaxy Active 2 gets recognized by the P6 as a Bluetooth microphone capable device, ergo it won't use the in-build phone microphones.

Does it have microphones, by the way?

You can always change the system "primary" source of a microphone/sound source by going into the Sound menu (press volume rocker, press on three dots, change there or go into See more).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Craphead:
Yeah I'm looking for a way to do that, change primary audio source, but I don't see any options for that in the sound or any other menu...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nabbed:
I'll add another bug to the list.

When a watch capable of making and receiving calls (Huawei Watch GT2 Pro) is connected, initiating a phone call from a BT headset/earbuds starts a phone call through the headset, but as soon as the phone call connects, the audio switches from BT headset to phone internal speaker.

You have to disable the "phone" function of the BT settings for the smartwatch to get this to work properly.

This didn't use to be the case, so it's clearly a new bug either in P6P or Android 12.

Hello and sorry if this was already discussed but I could not find it.

After updating my Samsung s21 ultra to Android 12 some of the apps have stopped working and I get a message that those were not installed from Google play and do not run, I get a link to Google play in the app and it shows as installed.

I tried all the workarounds I found on the net, deleting data from Google services, Google pla store, removing updated from play store, removing and adding the Google account and nothing worked.

Anyone with the same problem and any help how this can be solved without a factory reset?

Many thanks

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] remizik:
Hi all,

I thought I'd share what I did yesterday, which is to debloat my Redmi Note 10 Pro with MIUI Global (miui_SWEETGlobal_V12.5.8.0.RKFMIXM_61c0e33df5_11.0) , without breaking everything :D

Took me a few attempts because I was 1st uninstalling packages, switched to disabling them on my last try.

!!! DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, IT WORKED FOR ME BUT I CAN'T GUARANTEE IT WILL FOR YOU !!!

Here's the how to :

Uninstall all the obvious bloatware manually on your phone in the app manager (Ebay, TikTok, Amazon, Netflix, etc...)

Enable developer settings

Enable USB Debugging in the developer settings

Connect your Xiaomi device to the PC using the USB cable

Approve the warning messages on your phone

Open the Command prompt (cmd.exe) on your PC and type in: “adb devices” to check if the device is connected

Enter the command: “adb shell”

To disable a package, enter the following command: “pm disable-user --user 0 <name of the package>”

To uninstall a package, enter the following command: “pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of the package>” (hard to come back from, unless I missed something)

Here's the list I disabled :

Spoiler content hidden.

I found several lists of "safe to uninstall" here on XDA or various websites, but ended up breaking everything.

Some packages descriptions are available here :

https://cakeozolives.com/shaarli-antichesse/?Fr6b3w

https://technastic.com/xiaomi-bloatware-list-miui/

I probably missed more packages so feel free to add some in the comments.

edit 2022 : I would maybe suggest to keep these two packages, they are not phone breaking, but need for slowmo videos and setting wallpapers

com.miui.videoplayer

com.miui.gallery

Hope this helps :)
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] twixxx31:
Thanks for sharing ! Will receive my GF phone next week and will disable all of these rightr away. Thanks !
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] remizik:
You're welcome !

Like I said, proceed with caution :D
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] intelinside70:
Hi, this list are valid for miui 13?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] remizik:
No idea but it's just apps so I'm guessing yes ?

Worst case scenario some apps don't exist on miui 13 and they will be skipped.

Feel free to go thought the app list on the phone and right down the package names :)
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] david003:
I used "XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar" (requires java), which makes it pretty easy. I posted the list of apps I removed before, but if you'll search around, you can find various forum posts and blog posts about which apps are safe to remove. At the moment, I'm running the xiaomi.eu version of miui. I debloated that, too, though it didn't require as much. :)
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] remizik:
I didn't know the tool ! Looks neat ! This one right ? https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] david003:
Yes, that's it!
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] fxthomas:
hello,

Does saftey net pass by default on eu rom ?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] david003:
I think it's supposed to, but I didn't check before I rooted it. With root and the "universal safetynet fix" module installed, it passes safetynet, and widevine L1 DRM.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] CityKev:
I've manually uninstalled around 70 apps that I consider to be bloatware on Miui 13 and my phone is running smoothly with nothing I need broken.

I won't post a list as everyone probably has a different idea of what constitutes bloat but there are two system apps I deleted that haven't caused any issues but which it seems people might be wary of uninstalling. The first was Miui Cleaner, part of the security app. Now I know that the advice is not to touch the security app as it might break your phone but I couldn't stop the cleaner displaying ads even after switching off recommendations. It also kept displaying notifications that could only be muted for a maximum of two hours. I took a calculated risk and uninstalled it and it has caused no issues whatsoever. I've just installed Fast Clean as an alternative and removed the ads using Lucky Patcher.

The second one is Miui Daemon. There seems to uncertainty about how safe it is to uninstall this but I did and again it has caused no issues. This system app sends data to Xiaomi about screen time and other device usage stats.

I hope this might help someone who wants to debloat their device as much as possible. I have to say that my debloated phone using Lawnchair launcher is lightning fast and I won't be looking to root it or put a custom ROM on it.

Same here on RN9PRo Miui 12 EEA and RN10Pro Miui13 EEA.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Mike2030:
When I got the Redmi Note 9 Pro global joyese, 2 yrs back debloated MIUI ROM, using Xiaomi adb tools.

Removed cleaner too.

Got a system update a while later, having the option to update or ignore, Cleaner.

Accidentally updated it, not realizing that now is merged with Security and doesn't show in Xiaomi tools

At the moment am on MIUI 12.5.7.

Don't see the option for removing it in adb tools.

Any expert suggestions for it to get removed, has annoying ads...

Hoping to hear from you experts.

Thanks.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] CityKev:
I'm absolutely not an expert as I'm very new to this but I debloated my Note 10 Pro using ADB and removed the Cleaner (see my post above).

Device is on MIUI 13 Global and the package name is com.miui.cleaner. The cleaner is part of the Security app but now it's deleted it does nothing if you click on it.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Mike2030:
Thanks. How did you delete, using adb tools or cmd commands.

In adb tools don't see it.

Thanks again!
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] CityKev:
Like I said, this is new to me so I'm not sure I understand your question.

I used platform tools and entered the CMD prompt. Then I entered adb devices to check my device was recognised and then pm uninstall --user 0 com.miui.cleaner

You should get a success message if it is found and deleted.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Mike2030:
Thanks for explaining. Using the method you described Cleaner has got deleted and you don't see it in Security and System > All apps?

Has it totally disappeared, using pm uninstall --user 0 com.miui.cleaner?

I thought it would show in Xiaomi adb tools by Szaki and I removed it 2 yrs back using it.

Never tried platform tools.

And the command I hace for debloating my RN9 PRo is

pm uninstall --user 0 com.miui.cleanmaster vs, your pm uninstall --user 0 com.miui.cleaner

Is your phone RN9/10/11?

Thanks agaain!

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] CityKev:
It's been a few weeks since I did it and it was the first time I've ever used it but here is everything I can remember.

Install platform tools and download current driver's for Xiaomi. Open platform tools & type in CMD and then adb devices. It should give some numbers to show it has recognised your device. Then enter adb shell. Then enter the command you posted above.

That is the extent of my knowledge.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Mike2030:

1. Latest version that you used.

2. Xiaomi drivers.

Hi thanks again.

Have you created a list of MIUI, Advertising and Google apps to uninstall, force stop without make the ROM unstable/boot loops?

Regards!
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] CityKev:
I haven't but the ones you listed seem very comprehensive! I deleted around 70 and my device is very fast and, most importantly, no ads. In the post before our conversation I also put that MIUI Daemon could be safely deleted as looking around people seemed unsure if you could or not.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Mike2030:
These are safest which I made 2 yrs back, with a stable none error ROM. Just don't try uninstalling gallery, security...

Yes MIUI Daemon is safe to remove....

In less than than 5 mins your ROM is as clean or better than a custom with bootloader locked. Than one can install apps as per requirements.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] CityKev:
Totally agree with that and posted as such.

Buying the Note 10 Pro and debloating it was my first foray into modding devices. I've since been playing around with my wife's old Nexus 7 that has been in a drawer for years and I've rooted it and installed a custom ROM. That is just for fun and learning experience as it is just an entertainment device with nothing about me on it (throwaway email logins, no messaging, mail or anything financial on it). My phone is my primary device with all those things on it and therefore I want it to be as secure as possible.

Edit: plus everything works. There are three deal breakers for me. NFC as I need mobile ticketing to watch Manchester City, banking app and 108mp camera option (no custom ROM has this).
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Mike2030:
MIUI ROM isn't as bad as some people think...…if one knows how to debloat/ removing unrequired apps.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] CityKev:
I had a Galaxy Tab A SM-T290 tablet and Samsung turned that into a nightmare with ridiculous amounts of bloat and more and more security 'features' to stop you doing anything about it. I sold it when I got my phone and I'll never buy Samsung again. Take away the ads (easy enough) and bloat and Xiaomi is far better.

why does my battery drain fast after uninstalling some of the bloat apps
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] BigChungus321:
You could've accidentally uninstalled an important app. In my case before, I uninstalled wireless alert before and it caused insane battery drain because it kept on spamming errors in the logs. Try bringing back some important installed apps that relates to SMS, messages, or NFC and check if the battery drain persists.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] shakeelbirmani:
how to bring back or see which apps I uninstalled it.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] BisonBro:
Depends on how/what you used for the debloat. If you used the universal android debloater, even the old mi debloater, there should be a drop down menu in UAD, or a tab in the latter where you can see the list of uninstalled apps, and a separate page for disabled apps. You can just click to reinstall or re-enable them from there.

Factory reset and start again.

I recently debloated my Note 10 Pro using ADB and it was the first time I have used it. I made a note of the package name of each app I deleted and once I had blasted through the obvious ones that were unlikely to cause a problem I then did batches of around five each time. I could then see if deleting any of them created a problem and I could work through reinstalling them. For the last few like Cleaner and MIUI Daemon I did them one at a time.

Such caution is unusual for me but it paid off as I did end up reinstalling a few as they stopped things working as I wanted them to.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] shakeelbirmani:
great advice and thanks for quick response I'm definitely gonna do that. Only one last question, will the factory reset bring back all the uninstalled packages/services???

I bought 256gb Type-C and want to regularly backup data.

I found Bfilesync to sync folders. Not sure if it works. App updated 2 years before.

Let's say I used SW once. When I use Smart Switch second time weekly/monthly, will it only sync missing files or retransfer everything again and again?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] raul6:
i think it is incremental. you can have several full backups too if needed
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I think you're correct. It's nice when it works but don't count on it!

I would never trust SmartSwitch with critical data... when these apps fail they can fail miserably.

You have a SD card slot; use a V30 rated SD card as your data drive, then redundantly backup that up. All critical data goes on the data drive.

Verify that backup copies are readable on the PC and for file number/size.

Never clone data drives, cut/paste direct copy only.

Never encrypt data and backup drives as you are the one most likely to get locked out.
