[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Problem being Samsung's are feature packed and many are useful. After 2 years I'm still exploring my N10+.

If you inadvertently kill a parent app all it's children dependencies go nuts. Some apps serve more functions than you'll ever find listed.

With no way to easily renable them... you have no hope of easily discovering them.

To this day I still update and modify my bloat list to make the device more functional and efficient.

Be careful what you kill... especially if you haven't used Samsung's extensively. I have 2 N10+'s, one running on 9, the other 10. The Q variant literally has dozens of small system apks than the P variant. Both devices behave almost identically. These dozens of small apks allow this. They use almost no resources or battery.

The Q variants battery life is the same or better.

Blocking these apks would serve no purpose and likely screw up the newer N10+. It has about 150 more new packages in the Q variant than the P. I used my imported block list from the AT&T P variant for the non carrier Q variant. I took out a few new ones that were bloatware but the disable head count remains similar between both devices.

So don't go too nuts as Samsung has added many new system apks to tone down and make Android 10 and up UI usable, look nice and prevent lose of functionality

Gotcha, although i've always been one for simplicity and all, to be honest i kinda wish i could just grab a barebones android OS for my phone and modify it from there.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Depending on the model and how much support there is, you can, but it's going to be a time eating gravity well.

It's a lot easier to use stock Samsung's and configure them to suit your needs. Samsung probably has the best launcher out there at least on the N10+.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 11913111:
Guess that's what i get for getting a phone a few months in the market.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Been a bad year for phones and Android.

I spent a -lot- of time dialing in my N10+, but once done it runs great. You need to find the solutions and use work arounds when needed.

Stock Androids are almost impossible to crash. So... play with it.

Just make sure all critical data is redundantly backed up to at least 2 hhds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. Do this or eventually you will lose data.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mike freegan:
Does anyone know how to stop the device returning to the Touchflo 3D home screen every time I wake the device up? I have a Touch Pro but no-one seems to know the answer to this in the forum and I guess it's a TF3D issue.

I can't find anything about this on a search, but I'm sure I remember reading about it in the Diamond forum.

It's annoying when it goes off when I'm writing a text message or in a call or listening to music and I have to navigate all the way back.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sandeepn81:
Same Problem

yes... i have the exact same problem.

To add to it, I've set autolock also. When I'm trying to watch a vedio on you tube, and if it's taking some time to buffer, the phone locks. And upon unlocking, i'll find myself in the home screen... and have to navigate back to youtube menu all again.

Very uncomfortable behaviour, especially when you are trying to show off the features on your phone to friends...

Is this solved in any new ROMs... or is there a tweak for setting this right?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mike freegan:
I like the autolock thing - it's great. However when I'm writing a message or something it is so annoying.

Also, because the screen on the Touch Pro goes off in calls, it always goes back to the home screen so you can't see the call status, can't add notes and can't read contacts as easily. More annoyingly, my line of work involves phone systems that require entering numbers a lot so I always need to see the phone keypad. Very annoying.

Get the Rescue and Smart Assistant on your computer, connect your phone and put the IMEI for SIM1 on the box that the phone came with. This might work. Make sure you also have the Motorola Edge 20 USB drivers installed.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] toochas:
wouldn't take a charge. so i bought a daughterboard [?], installed, and the charge works. the screen works, but it is unresponsive. i've gone thru all of the connections twice. still no screen response. the curser moves, but the icons do not respond.

any information is greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] blackhawk:
Is the new daughter board the same P/N?

Inspect ribbon cables and contacts closely for damage. Insure all ground pathways are connected... sometimes they may use a slightly longer screw for a pathway or other less obvious methods like the frame rail.

Clear the cache, hard reboot (pull battery)... if no joy, factory reset.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] toochas:

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ultimoose:
PSA I guess is what this might be, just had an issue with moving SMS's from one phone to the p6 and thought I'd share in case it helps someone else.

Been getting my phone set up and one of the things I did was use SMS Backup and Restore to back up the messages from my 2Xl over to the 6p. It was roughly 120K text messages over the last 4 years.

The import 'seemed' to go okay but it didn't. I don't know if its a volume/count issue or a android 12 issue or a p6 issue but the messages app was kind of fried after the import. It would freeze/hang, send messages into oblivion etc and had 6(ish) just blank icons and blank entry lines at the bottom of the text list that 'side flashed' like they were loading but never did. I let it sit for about 12 hours thinking it might be an index issue or something but it just never recovered. Sometimes I'd hit send and it would go out, other times I'd get the ding but it wouldn't show up on my side, and from what I can tell never went out. I tried to delete conversations and they'd sometimes disappear from the messages app but on a reboot they'd be back.

Best guess is the SMS database got jacked up by the restore and only a complete delete would fix it.

I then tried to use SMS Back up and Restore to delete the messages from the app using the feature under Tools in the app and it also just hung on "Deleting" and never finished after about 6 hours.

So... I ended up having to use a terminal to kill the smsmms.db and db-journal files out of the telephony folder, reboot, wipe messages cache and storage to clear it. I was just one step short of doing a firmware re-install with the -w option but this seems to have worked the way I expected.

If you have a need for this step for some reason, on a rooted phone, install any terminal app from the play store, run it and then type the below. The commands for those who are familiar with terminal is get superuser (you'll be prompted by Magisk to allow), change directory to the place where the SMS database files are stored, list the files there, I only had the two, remove each file.

su

cd data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

ls

rm smsmms.db

rm smsmms.db-journal

Close the terminal.

Wipe Messages cache and storage.

Reboot.

You should now have a blank slate in the messages app.

Not ideal for me but I'm not sure yet if you can copy just individual threads over. I don't need all the "Hey you want to sell your house?" and "Medical coverage is going to expire" and "here's your MFA code" threads or threads from years ago.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] miravision:
All you need is SQLite to open the smsmms.db file and delete all the cruft

5.save and flash back

6.reboot and enjoy it.

In theory, it should be possible to use “fastboot flash devinfo xxx.img”

But it should be necessary to repackage the img file before .

Please tell me if there is a systemless method , thanks

This Is Why In Japan A Phone’s Camera Shutter Sound Cannot Be Muted​

You know that annoying “passht” camera shutter sound your phone makes whenever you take a picture? Well, in Japan, you can’t mute it, not even if you switch to mute mode! Here’s why.

Back in early 2000, when Kyocera VP-210 was launched, Japan became the first country to sell camera equipped phones. These phones also had the ability to send photos via email (pretty astonishing for 2000, isn’t it?). When users started to get used to them and learned how to attach pictures to an email, a big problem started to emerge: as any citizen of a civilized society would do, people started using their camera to take up-skirt photos of women, especially in crowded places like trains!

By 2001, this was already a matter of online discussion and, because no legal provision has been taken by the government, wireless carriers took it upon themselves. In order to prevent secret filming and ensure privacy, carriers made it a requirement that all phones sold in Japan must be customized for the market so that all built-in cameras cannot be muted.

Phone producers and Japanese wireless carriers have cooperated ever since so that all phones make a distinct sound whenever you use the camera.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TrustAugustus:
Yeah. It's a first world problem. When I try to take a picture of my kids while they're asleep the shutter awakens them. There are several camera apps in the store (s) that don't make the shutter sound if you're interested.

I'm thankful for the sound tbh. People at times try to record my kids on the trains( Japanese with natural blonde hair) usually I just tell them to stop and they do.

Try the

Official Google Android Flash Tool

(OEM Unlocking needs to be toggled on - you may not have to manually unlock the bootloader - the "site" will do that on its own). You may have to choose the option to Force Flash All Partitions, which will also wipe your phone.

nope that did not work, unfortunately.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I would pursue the warranty possibility ASAP, if you can. Then, if they let you RMA it, use the flash tool once more, but this time check the box for both Wipe and for Re-lock the Bootloader.

I apologize for the bad news.

This partition is record of hardware information

So I think you did something wrong while modifying this partition

You can post the information about the failure when you flash the system partition

To facilitate better analysis of the reasons

In addition, if you stay on the google logo interface all the time,

you can check whether the computer system device currently has an adb or fastboot connection to confirm where the device boot stays.
