[General Questions and Answers] Ćwirek:
I did and forgot about this thread🙁:

I'm using GBWhatsApp. You need to do backup with original WhatsApp app, than copy the entire folder of WhatsApp files to somewhere else on your phone. Unistall the app.

Install GBWhatsApp, open IT, do nothing within the app, close it.

Than in file manager you need to rename every WhatsApp folder to "GBWhatsapp" and every folder within the main WhatsApp folder itself and now folder, for example, "Documents" or "Images" need to be renamed to "GBWhatsApp Documents", "GBWhatsApp Images" and so on. After that open GBWhatsApp app, click "restore data" button, add your number and that is it.

There is one thing - I renamed every WhatsApp folder on my phone and still have no idea which one is the correct one, but it worked.

Backup all your files just in case;)
[General Questions and Answers] bart4714:
Thanks for answering. I came by this solution from another site, sadly it didn't work for me. GBWhatsApp deletes backup after number verification.

I'm using Fouad's GBWhatsApp (because there are so many different versions out there and I know Fouad's work from the past), and Fouad's team are aware of the issue and posted a solution in below quote from their Telegram group. It is sooo confusing and I didn't understand any of it.

If only com.whatsapp versions work Samsung Galaxy.....
[General Questions and Answers] alsarp:
for me when i place the msgstore.db (uncrytep) file in Whatsapp/databases it's recognized when clicking restore from whatsapp under the number asking page but it's not actyually restored

when i place it under GBWhatapps/yoBackup/com.gbwhatsapp/databases it's recognized in clicking restore red button at the first page shown after install and it's also recognized when going to FFMmods -> universal > backup restore.

Then my problem was that there were inconsistencies between the msgstore and the others littles .db files (chatsettings, wa.db, etc). So when i restored it says that my chat history was corrupted.

i tried many yobackups other dbs file the one that worked best was the one the most next to the time the backup as made to have the msgstore in the first place before merging process.

With that yobackup i restore in the app, it said to me that the history had an error, asked to restaure or never be able to do it again.

You have to refuse unless it's gonna take an old backup (present in /data i think)

Then it showed me an empty chat history in the main page. At that point i asked for a new backup in ffmmods universal.

I went into that new backup and i place my merged msgstore.db (there were none because it has no chat history). Then i went back into the app and restore this new backup with the msgstore and i worked

So to sump up this solution

: place you new msgstore in the yoBackup that is less different than it internally, restore in the app settings universal, don't leave settings when it finishes and the notification says history is broken, ask for a backup again, move your new msgstore in this just generated backup and order a restore again. smile and thank Jesus.
[General Questions and Answers] MajinOne:
i know its a year old msg, but can you say how do you merged the msgstore.db

i try with this : https://github.com/SenCodeMaker/whatsapp-database-merger

but i ever get sql error, and in whatsapp viewer i see many entrys without names or number and year is ever 1970

i use gbwhatsapp+ from sammods and have 2 different acc with different numbers and i will merge msgstore.db from both acc, or i can all chats restore and then backup and maybe this use :

https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/a7c0yq
[General Questions and Answers] alsarp:
the problem is that it depends on your data. I used the code you're referring too. It still need improvement because when an sql error happen you can end up with corrupt data. It's decribed on the github either someone can continue the work on it to prevent sql key collisions or someday I'll have time for that. but I can share that after using the database I generate I ended up abandoning it after some months because gbwhatsap hadd an update that wasn't accepting a database with an error into it
[General Questions and Answers] MajinOne:
thanks for fast reply ;:) , maybe another chance it exist i think, when i do all unmerged msgstor.db restore in gbwhatsapp and make a local crypted14 backup everytime and at end i use the second link , i mean this :

https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/a7c0yq

edit: or help use an older gbwhatsapp?

[General Questions and Answers] SunHanCute:
Hi can anyone help me with my problems 😭. My problems happened when i deleted this chat message with someone. Then i realised i make a big mistake. So i become panic and go to back up my WhatsApp... then i uninstall my WhatsApp. ( Means my database is gone when i uninstall it ) . When i installed whatsapp again and login using same phone number, the chat message with the person is gone but the others chat and groups was fine. I think maybe because i delete the chat then do back up and the messages is gone.... But does it possibly to get the chat back? How to get old database... the day before or else... idk just i want the chat back😭 please someone help mee!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭
[General Questions and Answers] alsarp:
do you have whatsapp or a WhatsApp mod like gbwhatsapp. I don't think you can recover your database with normal whatsap unless you activated automatic upload of backups to Google drive cloud. you can also look into your memory card to see if there are backups there
[General Questions and Answers] SunHanCute:
Thank your for replying. But i do not use memory card so there is no backups. And i have backups from Google drive clouds. But when i installed back my WhatsApp and login using same phone number, the chat that i deleted is no recover 😭 I was really disappointed 😔
[General Questions and Answers] alsarp:
even if you don't have a memory card you have memory on your phone. it can be there

I wanted to download NetHunter, but on official app, i can not find my device, is there posibility to download this rom for eany device?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] xflowy:
Hey everbody,

I got some stains on the display that cannot be removed any more. If you move over them with the finger tip, you can feel a unevenness down. I have no idea where they could have been from.

What do u guys think. Im usually really careful with my smartphone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] xflowy:
Thanks mate. But im pretty sure these are tiny "holes" in the top layer of the display.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
I think that you have not been careful enough and somehow damaged your display. It's possible that you only damaged the oleophobic coating, and not the underlying glass (should be easy to tell by looking at the display when it's ON - do the pixels underneath the damage still work?).

There is no other explanation to this, at least not from the looks of it (since you talk about "a[sic] unevenness down" - implying not superficial stains, but serious damage). There are extremely rare instances where displays damage themselves ("spontaneous shatter") but that is another matter entirely and has nothing to do with your - apparent - circular damages (since those lead to the shatter of the entire tempered glass). I'd wager either fire or acid or something else destructive happened here, but only you can tell.

Fire damage leaves a distinctive mark

Gorilla Glas Victus has a 6-7 on Mohs scale of hardness, you can pick whatever might have been your problem:
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] danw_oz:
I have the same issue, appeared two days ago. I have one small one that looks the same as your small ones, On mine the mark is under the top glass, it almost looks like dust under an applied screen protector. If I look at it at 180 deg for the mark I can't see it at all, not until i move about 5 deg off 180, then at about a 45 deg angle it dissapears again.

To me that very big one looks like damage to the top surface, then the others look like they are below the glass
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bolo808:
did you possibly get alcohol on the screen that dried up? I have something similar that happened to my screen and the only thing I can remember that possibly got on my screen was alcohol. I woke up the next day and noticed the spots on my phone but only when the screen is off
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] randylahey786:
Alcohol is bad for the phone's display because it'll heat up the display and the glue inside will lose its stickiness. This causes the display to fall out or some damages like this cause the display to burn inside and show like this!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] s3axel:
@randylahey786 Why in all heavens should alcohol heat up the display unless you burn it on the display/phone ? ;)..... and just for the record: i have been using isopropanol since ages to clean glasses, binoculars and, yes, also smartphone displays. BTW the nice tabs provided with many display protectors for cleaning the display are just alcohol swabs as well.....
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] xflowy:
can u upload a photo of yours?

Since i dont trink alcohol thats pretty unlikely, but yea, sth must have spilled over there but i have no idea what tbh.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] randylahey786:
I have seen issues with some people who have used sanitizer to clean the display and the display came out! Sanitizer contains alcohol in it, also isopropanol comes as a cleaning liquid especially for phones so they would've tested it but sanitizer or alcohol drinks are worst!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] s3axel:
I agree, as you never know what stuff is included in those sanitizers and of course alcoholic drinks may include sugar and other ingredients that could leave residue on the screen after drying out.

I always get pure isopropanol for cleaning purposes, this way I know it's safe to use ;)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DanielF50:
Quite a few people on r/GooglePixel have had the same issue upon release - it's been speculated that it's something to do with the oleophobic coating not adhering to the glass & is a manufacturing fault.

I would contact Google and see if they will replace the device for you as it will probably get worse over time.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
it looks like your oleophobic coating has been removed. Can you post some different photos? Do you have another smartphone you can add to the photo? Your display looks very dull (but it could be the photo).

I recommend the toothpaste and micro fiber trick the other comment suggested. then grab some oleophobic spray and coat your screen again. It takes 2 or 3 coatings to get it even but it works well. Unfortunately coating isn't covered in Google's Official Warranty (it says its not on their website). There's a good oleophobic brand that many people use and they swear by it but I forget the name.

But I would get the display even and unform first before doing anything - maybe even using a polisher tool with a really soft brush. Someone did this on reddit on their 6 Pro a few months ago to remove scratches and it worked really well.

I would also try to get as many reddit and xda posts as you can and document them, then contact Google and see what they can do. Also maybe try going to your nearest UbreakIfixit - see what they say? They see hundreds of different phones a day. But there seems to be over 15 posts on reddit that shows the same type of "Spotting" or "blotches" that appear on the 6 / 6 Pro. Not sure what exactly is going on there but some have gotten their devices replaced if I remember correctly (but others were told to kick rocks by google support, so make sure you prepare yourself before calling).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] danw_oz:
Sorry missed you asking this question, will need to find a camera to take the photo
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Neither sanitizer nor alcohol belong on a display. If people damage their phones on purpose or through the sheer act of incompetence, Google is hardly at fault... a phones display should only be cleaned with a fine microfiber cloth - and if the display is too dirty, only a special display cleaner should be used. Even that however should never be DIRECTLY applied to the display, but only used on a microfiber cloth again, which is then used in a slightly wet state to clean the display.

Since I know people, and people do stuff like that (smashing glasses cleaning cloth drenched in alcohol, sanitizer or something like that onto their phones), it's hard to judge/evaluate these threads here. Often it just seems like something that can easily be caused by a user, and is probably not a hardware issue.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
any update on this?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] xflowy:
what u mean? the stains are not removable. the coating seems to be gone at this area. i didnt try the suggestion yet to completely redo the coating :)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
was wondering if you tried google support at all, just to see what they would say. there's other instances of "blotching" on reddit on the Google Pixel forum. Do you know how it might have happened now that its been a few more days>?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] R3nrut:
Same issue. It was caused by dripping some salsa on the screen at a restaurant and didn't notice it right away. First time I've ever had anything like this happen to a phone screen.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
same issue here on my phone except idk what caused the marks
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Sui77:
Several reports about this issue on reddit, the circles are not on top but on lost side of the display.

Phones got exchanged under warranty
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
might exchange it or might not idk if it's worth getting exchanged
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Sui77:
It's not worth it, I will just try that now cause my glass has a crack so it would be a benefit.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kevinireland11:
Yip paraffin does this, and baby powder and also some types of alcohol, it's the anisotropic coating that's been removed there
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kevinireland11:
Or oleophobic coating sorry

Hi, I'm using pixel Prefs module, and it works fine, but is it possible to make samsung apps work here? (I have Galaxy A71, android 11)
[Magisk] toolhas4degrees:
As both rely on prefs, you would probably need to decompile and edit how the apps hook, ether the ones affected by pixel apps or the Samsung ones and adding vrthimg magisk module edits by what you have to change ex xml file. haven't decompiled apps in ages you would have to do some research to figure it out, or maybe there is a way to mix the prefs to make them work(I don't think this will work or may be very complicated and time consuming to make all features work).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightz0:
Hello there! I was a relatively early adopter of Android and while I am not a programmer I am a nerd who can follow directions. I like to dial my devices in and maintain as much privacy as possible. I really don't like bloatware and when I was still working I would buy from Google rather than a pre-loaded cell. Now I am looking to get back to work and broke. I lost my last phone and got a lifeline (free) phone. It is a SKY Elite H55 with AndroidGo installed. The last time I had to use one of these phones I just took the sim card out and installed on a Motorola E5. For whatever reason I lost and had disabled location. While I am grateful to have cell service the Go phone experience is terrible and all I could manage to do is setup a wifi hotspot for other device. Just navigating menus was terrible and this one is newer but seems to have even more restrictions and less options. Also I have a thing for reading ToS and dont think anyone needs my data free. When I powered on the device I saw this as one of the only settings:

Allow Scanning: Allow apps to scan for wifi and nearby devices even when wifi or bluetooth is turned off.

What is the actual fudge is that? It BS and no I dont want that. I have not activated phone and qwould like to make this a more stock phone that just does basics. I can make calls with google voice on my iphone 8 all I need is this as a hotspot. The idea a default setting lets apps scanat will even after you turn of wfi/bt is offensive. Do I have any options.

Whatever I lack in skill I try to make up for by reading and following directions. I just did a complete softmod on a olld Nintendo DSI and it turned out perfect so I am ready to own my device. If possible. Danke.
