[Google Pixel 6] suquet.paul:
My phone all of a sudden sends me to the lock screen while it's in use. It could be playing a youtube video, playing a game or typing a whatsapp reply.

Before you tell me it's some lock assisting app; it isn't. It happens in safe mode as well, and it started happening about 2 years ago back when I used a Pixel 4. At the time I did use a lock assisting app (KinScreen, which is a wonderful app I wish I could keep using, but my phone locks me out of my device regardless of settings in mentioned app, so I discontinued it's use months ago).

Back with the Pixel 4 I reflashed OS's, I removed screen protectors, I discontinued use of cases, I factory reset the device.... Eventually I gave up and just live with it. I upgraded to an unlocked Pixel 6 (and I'm patiently waiting for the 6a, hoping it's a bit smaller since I don't like these large phones), and the problem came along with me.

This, to me, tells me the issue is linked to my account. Especially the fact that it still happens while in Safe Mode. It's hard to test since it's so random, but I have lived in Safe Mode for a few hours until I saw it happen twice and I decided this problem was beyond me and when I changed hardware and it kept happening.... I'm just at a loss.

I've googled this before, thinking it may be a pixel issue "Pixel 4 locks while in use", finding nothing.

It's worth noting this issue only happens to me with Pixel phones. I like testing phones and currently have a Samsung Galaxy Flip3 fully set up. This problem does not present itself in that phone.

It seems at this point, that if I want to use a Pixel phone, I'd need to either reset my google account entirely (which I've done before, back in 2013 or so, with a Nexus 4 after what was then Google Now had just messed up my preferences for news articles; and it was such an inconvenience I would rather not give that a try).

Removing the lock altogether does do the trick of course. "Smart lock" does nothing for me. I use a pattern as a password and it's incredibly inconvenient. Have not tried switching to a pin but I don't have any reason to believe that would solve anything.

I genuinely don't think there's much I haven't tried, but perhaps someone else has already come across this issue and found out what was going on. I'd gladly try any and all suggestions I get and update this in the event of figuring it out.

I have found some people claiming to have a similar issue, none with a pixel phone, and none newer than 2015.

Thanks for reading.

TLDR; My phone locks while it's in use. Been happening across multiple phones (pixel 4, pixel 6), happens in safe mode as well.
[Google Pixel 6] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Go into your Google drive on your PC, click on the current space used indicator on the left, click on backups that shows up on the right, and delete your backups.

I would then factory reset your P6 and start over. Drastic, but it should fix the issue.

Also, the 6a is likely to be the same size as the 5, i.e. not much smaller.
[Google Pixel 6] suquet.paul:
Probably a dumb question, because I just went there, and there is no Pixel 6 backup, there is, however, (4) Pixel 4 backups, as well as backups to my work phone (a definitely-too-small Palm phone): If I delete the backups, but don't factory restore the device in question, the backup will self-generate automatically within a few hours/days, correct?

So, at the very least I can delete it all to make sure there are no duplicate backups I don't need.
[Google Pixel 6] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Correct. Delete the old backups and that probably will help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] scotty2618:
Is there anyway of recording from the FM radio - there are a couple of programs I don't get to listen to properly on an evening and like to listen to them on the train to work the following day... At the moment I have to do this via PC or a Samsung G600.

I've searched about and can only find topics around increasing the frequency range of the FM Radio, and the Radio Version of the device.

Thanks in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] exocetdj:
A lot of people rooted are having issues with DEX with either systemUI closing, systemuidex closing or the app only staying open on PC pr TV for a few seconds.

Please can anyone who is rooted please let me know if they can access DEX and if so - is it working for you?

Please show a pic of magisk front screen with version number and state your exact rooting procedure

Hopefully we can then find out what is breaking dex

UNLESS anyone knows what sort of log may diagnose the issue? I have a dumpstate/logcat but not sure what part im looking at
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] DakuTatsu:
We're do I get root how to for the u version
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dirtybudha:
The only version that is rooted is the B version. The international, European, and North American versions are not able to be rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] exocetdj:
We have root on the B variant :)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] lilplanet:
I believe the issue is related to having the "Data" folder being decrypted - This "Decrypting" process is on step # 4 under the 2nd process "PROCESS IF COMING FROM STOCK A12"

I have tried the process without the "Formatting the data" step which allows me to boot with root + Dex working. The only issue is that I'm limited to storage, It's fixed to 32gb out of the original size(512gb). Is there a way to resolve the limited storage issue?

Note: If we decrypt the data(Format data via twrp), we are restricted to:

- Cannot share pics in Samsung Gallary

- Dex's system ui constantly crashes

- Cannot install apps such as games that requires external downloads from installing an apk

- GMail cannot download embed files from an email

- ETC anything related to storage within the data, we cannot access/delete/edit when the data is decrypted
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] exocetdj:
Thats some great info thanks very much

although that would also effect the download and install of Magisk potentially and that works - do you have an example of an app or game doing this so i can test?

i can confirm i cannot share pics directly from gallery but can within apps such as telegram

Downloading docs from Gmail is buggered

Dex is RIP.

@ianmacd do you think there is something we could be missing - we are effectively doing the disabler's job manually on F926B and its not unreasonable to think we may have missed something - could running the multidisabler be useful to see if it picks something up (even if it completely breaks things) so that we can then do the required modification manually?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] pvillasuso:
Me again

BVA9 STOCK​

Rooted !

No sharing issues , and 100% working DEX

I used your BL file , extracted recovery from your AP File to make an Odin flashable TWRP.tar to sideload and flash your app-debug.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] exocetdj:
whats your internal storage size? and have you reset device since you last managed to get this working?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] pvillasuso:
Yes , I have reseted the phone.

When flashing to stock I used CSC ( the one that wipes data )

Did a stock recovery factory reset and also format data when I used the twrp recovery .

There is something with wrong with your AP file Bro , because I first used that file , and I tried the camera and had the sharing issue . Same happened with your older build , So I think the problem is there.

I Have the 256gb version
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] exocetdj:
Ok sounds promising

Please can you provide a step by step procedure here and if i can replicate it i will amend the first post and files in the rooting thread
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] exocetdj:
looks like formatting in TWRP could be the issue then - and we need to format at a different stage? (please still provide full process)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] pvillasuso:
Yes , do that factory reset from stock recovery .

I also think the twrp format is not working as expected

edit : about the full process...

I ended again in a mess , and did several random stuff (as I got stuck some times in Download mode)

But .. If you ask me what I think that works , it would be like this:

1. Flash odin to stock , NOT using HOME_CSC

2. Do the initial setup (usb debugging and OEM status ( if shown ) checked

3. Flash odin the BL file , and TWRP.tar

4. TWRP , format ( I think nothing happened in this step ), reboot to TWRP , sideload and flash app-debug.zip

5. Reboot to download mode and flash stock recovery , and do the factory reset there ( at this step I tought I woud lose the previously flashed magisk stuff , but that didnt happen, and I got booted & rooted )

******

So I'm sure the BL file helped me to flash TWRP , because I tried it alone (TWRP) and it didn't work ( got bootloops ending in download mode ).

What I didn't try , now that Im reading myself , was to do a factory reset from stock , after doing that initial setup , and tried to flash that TWRP file right after that.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] exocetdj:
do you have stock recovery or TWRP installed now you have root?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] pvillasuso:
Stock recovery now

I can try to flash twrp , and can go back to stock recovery if it doesnt work
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] exocetdj:
the key is that if you install TWRP now and dex and file sharing etc etc is still working then i need to look at these files

As far as im aware = the DEX issues are a result of having TWRP installed
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] pvillasuso:
Well, then I can try to install twrp , and launch DEX to see how it goes

Be right back and let you know

edit :

Flashed TWRP successfully !

No sharing issues , Dex working fine !
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] exocetdj:
ok so i am now rooted with stock recovery and everything is working - Dex, sharing etc etc

so i am missing TWRP

please can you go into finer detail into what you then did to install TWRP (y)i need to have as much information as possible -

please also confirm if you can mount data and flash files in TWRP

if not then there is not really much point in having TWRP installed - i am thinking this is unlikely as you have not disabled forcencryption

I have managed to follow this far

1. Flash odin to stock , NOT using HOME_CSC

2. Do the initial setup (usb debugging and OEM status ( if shown ) checked

3. Flash odin the BL file , and TWRP.tar

4. TWRP , format ( I think nothing happened in this step ), reboot to TWRP , sideload and flash app-debug.zip

5. Reboot to download mode and flash stock recovery , and do the factory reset there ( at this step I tought I woud lose the previously flashed magisk stuff , but that didnt happen, and I got booted & rooted )

I am now rooted with stock recovery - i find it hard to see how we can just install TWRP and use it normally and mount /data without having to at least destroy user data each boot as forcencrypt has NOT been disabled

what is making things far too hard is a process that follows things like this:

"

edit : about the full process...

I ended again in a mess , and did several random stuff (as I got stuck some times in Download mode)

But .. If you ask me what I think that works , it would be like this: "

there are just too many variables - for instance, forceencryption could have been disabled without you realizing when doing the random bits - did you reflash my AP files at any point?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] pvillasuso:
I agree with you about the variables

In short

I was rooted with stock BL6 and twrp

So I flashed to this newest stock , and tried to keep my setup and get rooted again

I flashed HOMECSC and after that gave a shot with newest twrp ( to flash newest app-debug.zip )

I ended with a download mode bootloop

So I used your guide with your files , everything went fine .. except for the sharing and dex issues

This is when the forceencryption could have been disabled , exactly !

Then , I did the steps above , back to 100% stock ( steps above ) , without your AP File this time .

TWRP , is useless at this point , it cant mount data , it is the same behaviour as with BL6 version

Edit : Nice that you could replicate it !

"ok so i am now rooted with stock recovery and everything is working - Dex, sharing etc etc "
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] exocetdj:
Thanks for the info

looks like using TWRP at a starting point is the only way thats going to be of any use - rooted stock is the way forward!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] pvillasuso:
Sure Bro , no problem
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] lilplanet:
Thanks for the guide! I was able to get root/Dex/Full storage with this guide.

An example game from the Play Store is Ulala: Idle Adventure

Or a app I had problem was Reddit sync when loading Gifs.

These problems are now gone with kermit's guide.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] exocetdj:
I was able to replicate kermit's results with making a zip with all modifications required (mostly for my rom) including magisk. I also got the zip to send stock recovery to its respective partition in the same flash. I can simify that and share some much smaller files potentially of course.

What i needed absolute confirmation of was that he didnt have twrp fully functional. I have been trying different things out in these areas and perhaps got a bit hypervigilant for wishful fixes 😂😂😂

Good work both. We have a couple of configurations possible with or without permanent twrp depending on what people use and miss.

Ill update the root thread with files and a clear process. Ill still keep the non encrypted firmware guide and link up also fir those who wish to root WITH twrp and lose dex etc

Time i lost my total dependance on twrp for a bit lol
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] exocetdj:
Ok i have a draft process and will update it later - this is for those who arent bothered about TWRP and having it for day to day use and want to keep DEX and filesharing etc which is broken when we disable forcencryption.

I will keep up the old method too for those wanting TWRP and not using dex etc

1 - Place magisk.zip and stock recovery.img (will be provided) in adb folder & reboot to download mode

2 - take the TWRP-VBmeta.tar (will be provided) and flash that in AP slot without auto reboot checked - exit download and enter TWRP immediately

3 - open a command window in your adb folder and type "adb devices" to make sure you are connected then "adb push magisk.zip /sdcard" to send the magisk to sdcard - even though you have not reset device, you can still find and install this zip in internal storage!! - flash it

4 - Send recovery.img to /sdcard ->"adb push recovery.img /sdcard" - flash it as an image to recovery partition

5 - Reboot to system and you are rooted with data intact (applicable if updating firmware of course and that patched AP file has been used in conjunction with BL, CP and HOMECSC)

thanks to @lilplanet and last but no means least @pvillasuso aka "Kermit" for your help guys
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] 白い熊:
Yeah – this is like I said, the problem is not TWRP per se, but formatting /data in TWRP which removes the encryption.

Like this you have stock rooted, /data encrypted - you can flash TWRP but won't be able to do anything useful with it, your ROM installer isn't gonna work in TWRP because /data is inaccessible…
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] exocetdj:
Good job the magisk parts now do what the TWRP flashable part did before ey?? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] 白い熊:
Well shouldn't it also work on BUL6 or you hard-coded to be dependent it BVA9 only?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] exocetdj:
Yes I have hard coded it to do that as the patches in the rom will mess with the BUL6 files on the phone and cause bootloop 😂😂😂

I must say i don't get many "issues" that were down to the end user flashing on the wrong firmware nowadays 🤪😉

Makes it tonnes easier to diagnose what's up too
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] TRElliott:
Can you give me a link on it? I'd live to give it a try buy can't find any information on it, thanks a lot :)

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] thewayofwright:
Ive tried many variations of all the steps mentioned and still cannot get DEX to work. Phone originally came w/ 1CVC5, but downgraded to 1BV9.

1. Ive flashed complete stock including the non-Home CSC.

2. Connected to internet briefly to have the grayed out "OEM Unlocked" to show up.

3. Flashed TWRP (sometimes needing to flash w/ VBMETA to get out of the blue screen lock up & oddly sometimes TWRP can be loaded w/o it)

4. Tried both format "yes" in TWRP and serveral trials where I did not format.

5. Rebooted to TWRP and Sideloaded the app-debug.zip as I have the dual sim so no SD card. The sideload works with & without formatting.

6. Reboot to download mode and flashed stock recovery and performed a factory reset.

7. Loaded up OS and tried dex which complains that it failed to connect.

Other attempts:

1. In one variation I flashed the non-Home CSC which forced a factory reset when paired w/ a stock recovery.

2. Flashed a Patched AP Magisk tar file again followed up w/ a factory reset.

Am I missing something here?

Do I have the correct app-debug.zip or is there a enforce-encryt patch I need?

I will double back and hide root from Dex and various other Samsung subsystems, but I recall reading that doesnt matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] pvillasuso:
Flashing TWRP is the problem , skip that !

Hello just came across the DEX and Smart View problem with my Fold 3 rooted. So, I'm pretty late. Can somebody help me with the steps to get these to work?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] viv_jen:
I've setup smart lock to keep my device unlocked when it connects to my car or earphones.

But it just doesn't work.

The steps I follow is, connect to the device which is whitelisted in smart lock and then leave the device be, it locks itself and prompts for fingerprint/pin.

Expected behavior is that it shouldn't ask for the pin when it's still connected to the device.

I'm on stock rom .72

Can someone confirm if this functionality is working for them.

I use Cisco Jabber for work and on the P6P the volume it's extremely low through the ear piece.

Does anyone know of a way to boost the volume? Mainly through the App. The volume through a regular call is ok.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Shelttyanna:
It's frustrating to experience low volume through the earpiece on Cisco Jabber, especially when you're using it for work. One potential solution could be to check the audio settings within the app to see if there are any options for boosting the volume. It's possible that there may be a volume slider or other setting that can help increase the volume output.

On a separate note, have you ever considered pursuing a CCNA certification? It's a great way to gain networking knowledge and skills that can be valuable in a variety of industries, including tech. Best of luck with your Cisco Jabber volume issues, and I hope you find a solution that works for you!!

I have been a fan of wireless charging for many years since my LG G4,

with the optional, QI charging rear case,

As the F3 lacks QI charging, i have been struggling to find a compatible charging receiver,

after buying 2 incompatible charging receivers, the black type with qi printing in the middle, from a well known UK auction site.

I thought I would try ALI, as i buy bits from there and came across this type in the photo,

and I can confirm it works a treat.

I use my F3 in a flip case and the receiver is still working up to a depth of 5mm.

Buying this QI charging receiver means Less wear and tear on the charge socket

and also helps a bit with water proofing and protects the socket from Dirt & Fluff

Hi,

I have just checked Accubattery and a 30% charge (30 to 60% / 1.209 ma) took, 1hr 22m and this only achieved 0.04 battery wear cycles using a Swalle 5w wireless charger,

this is perfect for me

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Rstment ^m^:
You need to read more user feedback lol

It's not recommended to be using it on xiaomi phones.

The chip in charge of charging will eventually die ( get corrupted or whatev ) and the phone becomes permanently bricked.

Aosp rom's experimented with it few months back , then fully removed it soon after reports came in.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] johnr64:
Hi,

thanks for the heads up, i also read that users were depleting their batteries to 0%, using (ACC) then were unable to recover from a dead phone,

i also read that to recover from this issue was to leave the phone plugged in for a long time or to jump start the phone buy putting a small amount of external charge into their battery,

yes this does mean removing the battery from the phone and injecting a small amount of charge.

I might just buy a spare BM4Y from ALI for around £16 including taxes just in case.

I have two battery charge alarms set to 25% for peace of mind of,

not getting anywhere near 0%

IF I AM INCORRECT THEN I WILL EDIT MY POST,

Keep me informed,

cheers.

You do you man xd...

Not something I wanna mess with at all , I've experienced plenty amount of times having the phone discharge while plugged in with that app installed.

Even when I go to bed and leave the phone plugged in , I wake up and battery is 40-50% lower than what it was the night before... I had 2/3 nights of wondering did I forget to plug the phone and sleepwalk into plugging it in few minutes before waking up?

It's crazy bad on this phone , If I was to ever use it for something that would be to disable battery charging altogether and power the phone fully from outlet when in use - but that toggle doesn't work either xd

I see no use in it , more trouble than good in using it. This is a really shet phone , one that I don't see myself using for long.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] johnr64:
Thank you for your Update,

i don`t charge my phone overnight,

i will edit my listing in case anyone else faces your issue,

with new android updates, SMART CHARGING might be available for all phones and hopefully the devs can make it compatible with the F3.

Samsung already has this function working on some of their phones,

Cheers
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] venomus001:
i agree the charging chip might suffer if u set too many parameters, I personally use a charging limit set to 80% and leave everything else as default that should extend battery health and protect it from overcharging or staying on 100% plugged in, but I turn it off at least once a month and charge it fully.
