[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N910T 2014-Date:
After re-flashing my ROM, I immediately re-installed XPosed as usual. One of my two versions of XPrivacyLUA couldn't load the module it needed, so I uninstalled XPosed intending to reinstall. I restarted without reinstalling, and everything now works again. I'm curious if you use XPLUA, because if you do, perhaps GPlay no longer recognizes spoofed information.

I don't know. I'll definitely take your microG route if this thing acts up again. I'd prefer to keep my XPLUA actively spoofing, but for now I'm just too damn lazy.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juandante:
Well, I found a solution, and it was very simple. This was indeed a major Google Services update bug. I could repoduce it. It is an update from the Play Services that was malfunctionning.

The fix was simple :

- Remove Google Play services (warning, this will remove your Google Accounts, so don't forget to note your latest passwords and phone numbers)

- Install an older Google Play services (you can very easily find one on an APK sharing site or here, do this at your own risk). The working versions for me was one all back to the 18.0.0 (can't remember the exact version, but if I used the one like 18.0.1, well it wouldn't work anymore, had to be the exact 18.0.0)

- Finnally, you BLOCK all the Google Play services updates servers, simply put in the phone Host file the line to block play.google.com or use a custom Android VPN like Adaway (not free)

I could again use the phone for 4-5 months, so I skipped the bad Google Play services updates (all the versions from 18.0.1 to 22.0.0, from the top of my y head, were buggy, I suppose there was another Google app that caused the bug, but could find it, as I can remember the older versions of the Play Service never bugged until this day), then now I removed the "fix" and there is 0 problem. Running the fixed 22.0.0+ without issues.

People may have doubt on MTK processor

However, I found it works well on both P11+ and Yoga Tab 11 (similar hardware)

Disclaimer: I have Yoga Tab 11 and I am happy with my choice.

I have P11 and I hate it (horrible video performance) while P11+ is much better

[General Questions and Answers] rtoledo2002:
Greetings... So I bought a Samsung S21+ Ultra, all was ok then 3 or 4 updates later , the last one being a week ago to Android 12, I lost the menu item in the text messages, when I opened them , under the 3dot menu , I HAD the option to block text messages from certain sales pitches. NOW that is gone . and I am PISSED . Also I was using Calls Blacklist / call blocker by Vlad Lee, once I migrated from my broken LG that I loved , I noticed it no longer worked as good in the Samsung nightmare bloat machine.

So I ask who the hell took that away from that phone ? I'd like to kick them in .....

I know a lot of people love Samsung , and I am NOT one. the Ultra photos are HUGE and there's no settings to make >>>ALL<<< photos come out at a certain size. I have *****ed about this at Samsung , but you know Asian companies get embarrassed and do not discuss **** UPs. they have me thinking of dumping this POS and going to the dark side IOS yuk. I finallty found a great app that compresses thos giant photos to a manageable size. I spend all day at work, taking photos of vehicles and then I email them back to my company and if they are not small enough , then ALL email servers gag at 25MB's or so.

The new Samsung I bought on sale at Costco , sees ALL hdmi devices EXCEPT the TIVO boxes. I guess they must be at war and since we know the company that bought Tivo does sue everybody , I can see why, but WHY **** with specs like HDMI ?

OK enough of this rant any suggestions welcomed ;)

Android 12 is a mess... blame Gookill.

Use a package disabler or ABD edits to purge bloatware.

I never update an Android if it's running fast, stable and fulfilling its mission. One of the first apks I disable is OTA updates.

Updates tend to break things...
[General Questions and Answers] :
A Samsung phone's OS can't get named Android - where version doesn't matter: It's by nature a Samsung-created Custom ROM based on Vanilla Android and hence corectly named One UI.
[General Questions and Answers] SigmundDroid:
Just read the title and thought instantly: Blame them all! :devilish:

Still, in comparison less trouble with T-mobile than with Vodafone or Telefonica (they just have the best network, at least in Germany).

[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Unfortunately Samsung is forced to comply with some of the Google's load versions rules like scoped storage.

Result is it's impossible to mod Android 12 enough to behave like Samsung Android 9 and 10 variants.

I have 2 near identical N10+'s except one came loaded with Android 9, the over 10. There are close to 100 small Samsung system apks in the 10 version that are not present in Android 9 version. Some are for the latest UI version but dozens of thosenew apks modify the Q version so it behaves almost identically to the Pie variant.

As a result the newer N10+ is still very user friendly. The ram and battery usage is similar or better for the Q variant. Samsung actually put a lot effort into keeping their Android 10 rom for the N10+ viable and user friendly. The SD card drive interfaces perfectly and my old freeware office app copy WPS* runs on both equally well.

I have no illusions that the Samsung Android 11/12 upgrade will do the same though. I will never adopt either one of these Apple like abortions. Google Android set the bar too low for even nimble Samsung to limbo under without losing their balls, so to speak.

I have adapted and found work arounds for issues with my stock Samsungs without rooting them. They run fast, stable and fullfill their mission. With Android 11/12 that would prove impossible.

I get no tangible benefits with 11 or 12 only a dysfunctional tard UI that would bite at me constantly like a rabid temple monkey.

*I have no freeware substitutes for this app and need it to create word docs. The free MS cloud app sucks. My WPS copy dates back to over 6 years when it was freeware. It's an important baseload 3rd party app for me.

So right off the get go 11/12 would be costing me time, money and pointless aggravation.
[General Questions and Answers] mobnoob:
That is a great generalization which can only scare people and doesn't give any help.

I bought many phones (Sony, Motorola, Samsung, LG, Nokia, Lenovo, Google, POCO, latest is Oppo A74 5G) and I always updated via OTA but I always did it manually so you just need to disable the "automatic" updates, and I never had any problem.

The basic rules for OTA updates are: patience, patience, patience, a fully charged battery, let the phone do the firmware update and don't touch anything unless you're specifically asked to.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Doesn't matter if it's a good flash. I've had phones trashed by good flashes of crap stock firmware. If the flash goes south you're boned and when it goes well it's factory reset time to get a clean load.

This N10+/P hasn't been updated in over 2 years. The current load is over 1.5 yo, still fast and stable with minimal maintenance. Beyond that it fulfills it's mission. Security is not an issue.

My other N10+ is running on Q, that's as high as it will go. Android 11 and 12 especially are no cherries. They would impair functionality and usability. For what?

To blindly update for no tangible gains with a phone that's running well is just asking for trouble. Over the last decade Google has trashed many of their apps with that mindset.

Of course what works for me could blow up in someone else's face. At the end of the day though there's no saving dumb bunnies🤣

Blocking OTA updates is no big thing. Try doing that with an Apple...
[General Questions and Answers] rtoledo2002:
I am with T-MOBILE, the OS finally put a screen warning that Calls Black Lists is broken. I un-installed both regular and pro version. as I searched Google Store, I came across T-mobiles scam app , installed it and it seems to be working ok, it blocked 12 calls today. When you get to be my age , you start knowing what is a priority and what is NOT. to me phone " security updates " are not too important. I only make calls, do texts and do yahoo mail app , and firefox for web searches . that's it. so I can do without ANY updates, but like I said , T-Mobile / Samsung updates tell you up front you can deny the update twice, then they will push it.

Since all I do is RANT about Samsung as a POS company. they want to be so much like Apple , they took out the plug for the earphones, and they REMAKE every app that Google has and then rename it and send all content to their " Samsung Cloud " . I turned off Bixby as much as possible, but most of their super tanker bloat ware , won't even let you turn off notifications much less uninstalling them .

but by February , I just might decide to take a loss and go with a Iphone 13 max.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Samsung's are easy once you understand them. To use them effectively the learning curve is unavoidable.

Using a Package Disabler will let you easily block any bloatware or problem apps. No need to uninstall... you can block them from running at boot or while using the phone.

Apples lacked the insane degree of customization a stock Samsung has. Samsung's are infinitely more flexible than iPhones plus many allow for up to 1tb of expandable memory.

There's no such thing as a dual drive iPhone.

My favorite phone remains my 2 Note 10+/ Snapdragon's running on 9 and 10.

If all you want is a basic phone and don't care what the UI looks like or how it interfaces with you than perhaps a iPhone is a better choice. They are a rip off from the get go though. Parts, repairs, even cables are expensive. Their base level of simplicity is probably greater than Androids though. Updates more reliable. Not malware proof and worse Apple is under the CCP's thumb.

Thank you all for your comments. I'm done for now, no more crying. BTW so far the t-mobile " scam " app seems to be working ok. sarcastically laughing at them. the government told all these phone companies to implement that " shake and bake " protocol that would identify scammers and just dump them , INSTEAD , T-mo wants 4.00 per month to go pro to stop these robocallers . meanwhile I will be reading all posts related to Android 12 and see if other people on other phones have the same complaints as I do with Samsung. and I do realize this NEW One ui 4.0 will probably need polishing , and maybe we might get back and easy way to block calls and texts once they come into the phone.

Seems like I succesfully bricked my OP9Pro. Tried to restore in MSMDownloadTool v4.0. Oneplus 9 Pro LE2123.

Phone is detected correctly in Windows device manager(QDLoader 9008, I get to EDL by holding Vol+ and Vol- buttons and connecting the cable). When I try to flash, MSM breaks on Sahara communication failed(FH: 258).

Qualcomm drivers are from Windows Update Center(I connect my phone in EDL mode, click Update and in optional updates section there is the needed driver - Qualcomm Incorporated - Ports).

What should I do?

I saw a python EDL workaround script, but I'm not sure if helps me or if it even works (saw it somewhere on xda, the only thing I remember that it was in some of oneplus's devices thread and the sript name was edl.py, sorry :(

Tried on one laptop(Acer Nitro< none of the ports gave a succesful result). Gonna try on my second(Asus ROG GL702VMK, it seems to have better ports connection). Gonna write an update message.

I can't get to fastboot, recovery, etc. Phone seems to give no signs of life, there is even no charging notification when the cable is connected(but maybe phone isn't turned off actually, not sure)

Hello.

I have a dilemma, I can't find good/comfortable wireless earbuds that would work well for phone calls in windy conditions (riding bicycle). Every headphones I've tried so far pickup too much background noise especially wind, to the point that the person on other side can't hear me. Jabra Elite Active 75t headphones are supper comfortable and have phenomenal sound quality, but mic is useless with a slight breeze.

The mic in Sony SBH20 (a BT receiver w/mic, which accepts regular wired headphones) work very well when pinned on shirt's collar on the inside (the shirt blocks wind), I'd use it exclusively, but I don't want to carry wired headphones.

So I wonder if there is a way have 2 BT devices during a call, one for sound and another for mic? (or maybe someone could suggest headphones that work well in windy situations?)

Using Samsung Galaxy Note 10

Thank you.

[OnePlus 9] papad13:
Hi to everyone

After days and days of searching!!!

Finally solved

So the "trick" to start flashing again with the op9 MSM tool and not with the Indian variant of op9 pro MSM is : to extract the param.bin from the .ops file that is located in the global MSM archive .

And then to flash it in FASTBOOTD Mode

1.Unlock the bootloader and enable USB debugging

2. Advanced reboot to fastboot

3. fastboot reboot fastboot

4. fastboot flash param param.bin

That's it !!!

No more flashing with Indian op9 pro MSM tool variant

** If you cannot flash again , just use o2 target ( it is the same )

** If anyone can extract the param.bin with python just post it here so everyone can be liberated!!
[OnePlus 9] allenjthomsen:
View attachment 5479639

This is not fully correct depending on the situation , yes it will help with flashing but i have found by testing multiple times by unchecking all options and selecting o2 then clicking start that it will work everytime.

i will also add i have diffed the exe's of the india 9pro and all others and found that having sha256 and auto reboot options checked cause the firehose files to not be read correctly and in reality would need to be fixed to make it work.

yes flashing the param.bin can help with the process if you dont hardbrick but i have found it to not work as effectively as the method i have mentioned.
[OnePlus 9] papad13:
You are right but the problem for the BA version is still there . Because of no msm tool

So this is the best solution alive for EU users even with all unchecked . ( for me it works even if I check all the three
