Tl;dr Get pixel 3, use nearby share to send stuff to it, backup happens automagically. Get an og pixel, it's slightly less automagical. Help?

Longer: I've been giving myself too many pats on the back since I figured this out, but at some point last year while using my pixel 5 and not liking using up my storage too quickly, I figured out that I can just use nearby share to send all my pics and video to my pixel 3 and they'll back up quite nicely, no third party app needed. It's not instant, but doing this once/day is sufficient for me.

The important part is that even the metadata is correct. This was a stumbling block as to why I didn't do this before - dates would change to the upload/share time. Screenshots, screen recordings, and all pictures/video keep the same date/time. Downloaded pictures don't, but to me that's not a huge deal bc it's usually just wallpapers and such.

Anyway, with unlimited original quality on P3 ending soon, I got myself an OG Pixel off Swappa. (It's shiny and blue, looks very nice! Mine was black but caught the bootloops. Dead board probably, not worth the fix.) I figured I'd just use the same procedure to keep having unlimited original backups. It works, except that screenshots don't keep the original time.

Here's where it gets weird:

I use nearby share to send the files from my P6P to my original pixel. Screen recordings and pics/video work as expected. Screenshots, however, change their time after the upload finishes.

I've nailed it down to proving that the time it gets changed to is the time that I airdropped NSed the files:

After sharing, I cut the wifi so it doesn't upload. And before it uploads, the time is correct. Only after the screenshots upload is the time changed. Using an exif utility app I can see the original time as well. Yet for some reason after upload - only on the p1, p3 does it right - it switches to showing the last modified time.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot these screenshots not having the right time on them? It's not the worst thing in the world since they usually have the time in the screenshot and it's easy enough to edit the time, but I'd love for this process to be just as smooth as it was on my pixel 3.

Relevant info: all software is fully up to date, I've tried this with both the production and beta versions of Google Play Services, all devices are full stock and have never been modified afaik. I can't speak much to the hx of the P1, but I don't get any warnings on boot so I assume verified boot is doing its job. It's unfortunately a Verizon model even though I bought it unlocked, as the OEM unlock toggle is greyed out.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] asj0422:
Update for anyone reading this in the future:

I ended up not using nearby share anymore and switching to SyncThing. It's so much better. No metadata issues, and I don't have to touch the og pixel at all. I even have it on an outlet timer to control the charging.

I still check it every other day or so to update any apps (because security) that I have notifications for, and some other minor things, but besides that I'm a happy camper. This also looks like it'll work from anywhere in the world, which is a huge bonus.

The only downside is I can't figure out how to use the exclusion thing to make it not sync .trashed files.

[Moto Z4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] SilentNightx:
This is awesome, can't wait to try it when my unlocked Z4 comes in the mail.
[Moto Z4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] SilentNightx:
After following the instructions I couldn't boot so it prompted me to factory reset. I did so then was able to boot into LineageOS. Works great! Snappier than the official ROM for sure. Republic Wireless app is installed by default, don't know if this is a LineageOS thing as I haven't used it before but seems odd. Surprised to see you got gestures working already! Fingerprint, vibration, and Moto Mods indeed don't work. Hope you can figure those out soon.

I was wondering if getting the Motorola Apps installed would help bring back some features I like from the stock rom (Moto Display, Moto Widget, Moto Camera, Moto Camera Tuner, Moto Mods Manager) so I tried installing them through third party APK sites but they wouldn't let me so I tried installing Open GApps Pico (smallest package) with adb but it said there wasn't enough space on the system partition to do so. Might be worth looking into as I'm sure others will want to install at least some GApps.

In it's current state it is definitely usable if you don't use Moto Mods or the Fingerprint Reader. Great job!!!
[Moto Z4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Fazwalrus:
Hey, thanks for your detailed reply! Yeah so for vibration and fingerprint I have no idea how to fix, so I'm seeing if I can ask some other devs if they know what's the problem. For Moto Mods, I think I will be able to get them working, but it might take a while, plus I don't have any non-camera Mods to test them out on my own, so that might be tough. For your question about the stock Moto apps, most of those I'm pretty sure can't be added to LineageOS, or at least most devs don't do that. And yeah, I had difficulty installing GApps as well, so I'll see what I can do, maybe just build a different ROM completely, like Pixel Experience. But yeah, thanks for testing, and hopefully I can push out a build soon with some stuff fixed.

Edit: I was able to install GApps
[Moto Z4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] SilentNightx:
If you get the GApps working it might allow installing them but idk. As for the Moto Mods I have the Projector Mod, 360 Camera, TrueView Camera, Power Pack battery, TurboPower battery, and the SoundBoost V1 I could test for you.
[Moto Z4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Fazwalrus:
Sweet, could you join the Moto Z4 device group chat on Telegram so that we have better communication? I think if you search in global search the group should show up.

[Moto Z4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LIL_ROOKIE:
got the rom working but it wont let me install gapps because of insufficient partition space is there any fix for that?

noticed the partitions get zeroed out after switching recovery menus
[Moto Z4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LIL_ROOKIE:
also wifi breaks after device goes to deep sleep but a reboot fixes it
[Moto Z4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Fazwalrus:
Hmm, GApps installed fine for me, probably because I used a smaller package. Did you use lineage recovery to flash the GApps?
[Moto Z4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Fazwalrus:
Yeah I've noticed that too, still trying to fix that issue. I forgot to add it to the list of bugs
[Moto Z4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LIL_ROOKIE:
yes used lineage recovery and tried both pico and nano gapps but no luck
[Moto Z4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Fazwalrus:
I just tried it again and it didn't work. Perhaps it's different on the newer builds. I'll see if I can make a lineage build with GApps bundled up with it and let you know when it's out
[Moto Z4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Fazwalrus:

[Moto G Stylus 5G] KingBatman:
I have a Cricket branded Denver varient and it has a locked bootloader... ugh 😩

The website says it is not eligible for bootloader unlocking but here's my question

Is it possible to cross flash the RETUS firmware and be able to unlock the bootloader like that?

Also if I do cross flash, will I lose my IMEI in the process? Do I need to remove the sim card while flashing?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] KingBatman:
Also OEM UNLOCK is greyed out....
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Deleted member 4197323:
In my experience, no, you can't flash RETUS on the Cricket model. Even if you could, that wouldn't change the fact that the IMEI is forever blacklisted by Motorola for unlocking as it is a Cricket device, unless Cricket changes their policies sometime in the next 100 years. As for OEM Unlocking, it becomes toggleable after being connected to the internet for a while, but serves absolutely no purpose.

Go disable "Mobile Services" in the apps so it stops auto downloading random junk apps then debloat it as much as possible. Truly that's the best bet you have with their version. I broke down and bought an unlocked one from eBay.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] KingBatman:
Can anyone else give me further advice
[Moto G Stylus 5G] KingBatman:
Thanks so much
[Moto G Stylus 5G] KingBatman:

[Moto G Stylus 5G] ShayBox:
If cricket won't let you unlock, there's nothing left to help. It's a stock android phone.

I recently just got a Samsung Jack i616 and it had Windows Mobile 6.0 on it. I upgraded it with the official 6.1 upgrade from Rogers, and everything upgraded fine. But when I call someone, or someone calls me I can't hear them and they can't hear me. I know the phone worked before the upgrade, but now I'm not sure as to why it's doing this. I've tried restarting the phone, but nothing has worked. I haven't found anything on Google, so I thought I'd post it in the forum that I know has come up with so many miracles that made my HTC Touch Elf so enjoyable.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Fixed the problem by dialing *2767*3855#

same problem

Hi

I am having the same problem. have you resolved the problem. I would like to see your solution as this is driving me up a wall.

Fibrolan

P.S. I am on the fido network
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] bmac.to:
I have experienced this same issue. I bought a new i616 on the Fido network, upgraded to wm6.1, made a test phone call, and then removed the sim.

While the sim was removed I setup all the software I use (took about a week) and played around with the phone (GPS, etc) to be sure I understood it's capabilities. And then I put the sim card back in - exactly the same issue you have had - it makes and receives calls but there is no sound on any end.

I fixed this by doing a hard reset (with format) - immediately after the format, I tried a test call again and it worked (sound on both ends). I then proceeded to setup the phone again (this time with the sim card still in it) and at the end of installing all the software, the phone still worked.

I have no idea why it stopped working in the first place.

The code you mention does a EEPROM reset which appears to be a carrier unlock on some phones - is your phone now carrier unlocked?

On a side note, the software/hardware on this i616 appears to be a complete train wreck - the GPS sometimes works, sometimes doesnt, sometimes the phone does not allow sound when making phone calls, the bluetooth doesnt connect to some of my devices that have never had any connection issues in the past, etc. These are pretty fundamental issues. I have had a couple of HTC WM phones for the past several years and I have never experienced anything like this with them - perhaps the Jack will grow on me but just setting it up has been a pretty poor experience.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] bmac.to:
Well, it happened again - no sound on either end during a phone call. I havent done anything since the last rebuild - eventually the sound stopped working.

A full reset with format fixes the problem but I think I have reached the limit - I am not going to rebuild it again because I have no idea when the phone stops working - I do not know what to do differently.

I am going to return this phone for something else - this phone has been remarkably bad (especially for a phone which gets great reviews).

Any ideas what is going on?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] bcredneck:
same issue

So far the only way to resolve this is the format... rogers says the phone is defective but considering the issue is more than just me I expect a replacement jack is not a guarantee that this issue will go away...
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] fibrolan:
Hi,

I think I have found the culprit that is causing the problems. whe you do an unlock for application, the problem will start happening. not installing the unlock application the phone will work fine.

the only real benefit for the unlock application is getting the gps to work on com4. most applications will work without running unlock.

if anyone has way around this I am listening.

Fibrolan
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Unicornasaurus:
What unlock application are you talking about? Since I fixed the problem myself, I've only had the problem once, which was probably from trying to install a bunch of applications to my phone(which I fixed just by restarting the phone).

The * code that I posted was from the BlackJack II

Rogers

6.1 Instructions
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] bmac.to:
I believe he is talking about the application unlock. There are two things I put on my phone that require it - the GPSID thing (connect the GPS to a COM port), and WM5torage (phone looks like a USB drive).

I will format, and will not apply the unlock, and see what happens.

Thanks.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Unicornasaurus:
So I've been running into this problem more and more often now. It's seemingly random as to what triggers it. I've tried pulling the battery..turning it on and off..nothing seems to work. I don't really want to do a full format because I don't want to lose all my stuff on there.

I've also found out even with a bluetooth headset, I can't hear anything..I also can't hear anything if I plug in the headset that comes with the phone.

Hopefully we can find out a solution as to why it does this.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] briggs81:
Ah so I am not alone.

My fido jack on 6.1 that is also application unlocked (Some of my apps do require this to be done, one way or another..) is doing the same thing. Sometimes I just have to reboot a few times in a row and it comes back, but as of this morhning I've done it 3-4 times and still no sound.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] bmac.to:
I have given up. I have decided not to app unlock the phone - it is the only way to guarantee the phone still functions as a phone and I have tried many, many things to get it to work. This definitely limits the capabilities of this phone.

This phone is a disaster - the GPS does not connect through a com port like almost every other GPS device on the market, not all of my bluetooth devices work with the phone, and if you app unlock it, it stops working as a phone.

I like the scroll wheel though.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] greentorii:
any progress on this?

i have same issue:

-i616 (fido/roger jack)

-want to get GPS working

-but app unlocker will break sound (no sound during calls) on WM6.1

i think the unlockers are only for i617 blackjack2, but not for the canadian version...

any ideas???
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] bmac.to:
I am still trying to figure out the root cause of this problem. Yesterday it happened again to me so I pulled out the battery, removed the sim card, and then reinstalled everything and it worked - no hard reset required. It hasnt happened since so I havent tried the sim card removal again, so it could just be a fluke.

But, if it does turn out to be sim card related, is it possible we are using older version sim cards? The phone came with a new one but I just stuck to using my older one. What abaout everyone else - new or old sim card?

Thanks.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] bcjks:
I also have the samsung jack (fido) i616 and also cannot hear the calls on both ends on occasions...even prior to app unlocking so it may not be the app unlock that is causing the issue.

I would turn off and on the phone and it would work again.

Is there a permanent solution to resolve this?

Thanks in advance
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] davebergeron:
Smartb - I liked the story despite the fact that I cried more than I laughed. Seriously, I couldn't agree more with you. Indeed this 6.1 upgrade is the cause of our pain. I've spent hours doing the same thing you have less the ROM installs.. Mine came with the Rogers 6.1 ROM installed.

I'm at a loss for what to do. My latest venture is to compare registry settings with a HR image and after installing a software that breaks the phone. The software I tested with that always broke the phone was SPB Wireless Monitor..

I could ALMOST live with the issue if SPB Backup worked. But of course, it breaks the phone too!

So far, I've successfully gotten these softwares installed without the phone breaking:

- MS GPSID

- TCPMP + FLV Plugin

- Activesync with Exchange

- Garmin Mobile XT

- Facade 1.4.0

- CHome Configurator

These break the phone:

- SPB Backup

- SPB Wireless Monitor

- SDA Unlock

Any ideas how I could downgrade to WM 6.0? My phone came pre-installed with WM6.1
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Smartb:
Dave, I don't think you can because there is no 6.0 rom floating about out there believe me I tried. I spent hours looking for one and couldn't find any. There were other roms for the 607, but I wouldn't risk using those. Sorry Mate.

Rogers is sending me the 6th refurbished Samsung Jack

I am having the same audio problem described here. Hard reset, which is every "tech support agent's" answer to everything, is NOT NECESSARY.

I have popped the battery out and stuck it back in and this has worked, other times it has not.

I have turned the phone off and on again and this has worked, other times it has not.

Rogers is sending me the 6TH REPLACEMENT Refurbished phone I have received, I may ask them to start sending 2 at a time, just to be sure.

They won't allow a hardware switch, they will only replace the phone with the same phone. They will try to get me to take a hardware upgrade though for like $200.00 and make me agree to 3 more years.

I am only hoping that the next refurbished one I receive will have this 6.1 bug fixed.
