My bad. I'm glad you're listening @ScarletWizard.

Listen to this one, from microsoft's web site:

That statement shows the stupidity that is microsoft. Windows is the very thing that brings so much overhead to the computer system in the first place, and in fact, a dual-boot system removes that problem in and of itself. Everytime I must boot a system into windows it takes forever for it to do updates and reconfigurations. In comparison to Linus's OS, it is like night and day. So, no, don't use windows for anything if it can be helped.
[General Topics] Bubba The Hack:
Things like permissions are easy to fix, once we understand the safety benefits built into the system. All we need to know is our user password, and sometimes the root password. If anyone has problems with that sort of thing, I'm glad to help.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] imnotmikal:
I have an unlocked S22U (purchased directly from Samsung) and I am trying to get dual sim set up. I have an eSIM setup currently which is functioning as expected. I get calls, messages, and 5G no problem. I have a physical SIM which also works fine; calls, messages, 5G. However, they only work if I disable one at a time. With both SIMs inserted, I only get 4G data out of the physical SIM and no data at all from the eSIM. If I set the eSIM as my primary SIM, it acts like I have no data at all.

I honestly have no idea what to think, does anyone have any input?

eSIM - Mint

Physical Sim - Visible
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
It sounds like a settings issue. Look under connections / mobile networks / network mode. Are they both on 5g? Also are you dual SIM both active in sim card settings?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Craig f:
I have been using BTmusic to direct my TomTom directions through my car kit, as I dont have an A2DP compatible kit, plus I dont think a2dp would do as I want.

Whilst I appreciate the effort that has gone into BTmusic, I was wondering if there was an alternative, which only sends sound through to the kit when needed, as opposed to sending nothing though to the kit and constantly setting the kit to mute.

I know the developer is aware of this bug and the reply was that it would be too much work for him, which is a real shame as I would be more than happy to donate to his cause!

has anyone got any alternatives?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Fiftik:
Hello guys,

I have HP Slatebook x2 tablet with android 4.3 stock rom from 2013. Now it is quite useless, because almost no app works. Do you think that is there some way to root it without cable? I tried almost every known root app, but nothing worked. Also, I read probably every post thread about it here on XDA. Do you think that someone could help me? Thanks for every help.

Hi, not sure if it helps but it's still working for me. I have the assistant and google app installed with all permissions granted, notifications active and set the default assistant app to google.
[Oppo Find N] lombrozo:

[Oppo Find N] orbital247:
It took me to the setting when i set up the Google Assistant app, i can't find it as a system setting so it must be hidden. Try reinstalling Assistant and going through the setup again perhaps ?

And i change language in phone and inside assistant, also set as default program but nothing.... Any idea? Thanks
[Oppo Find N] deweythesecond:
I'll buy chocolate for anyone that figures this out. Assistant was working fine although no OK GOOGLE to wake. Now the default assistant app switches to none after a short while. No idea how to fix.
[Oppo Find N] lombrozo:
Agreed, used to work the same for me, but recently it keeps resetting to none... maybe the result of an OS update?
[Oppo Find N] ITMASTER:
I don't think it will work on this phone as it has CN COLOR OS which automatically sets changes back for assistant part.
[Oppo Find N] findnuser:
I've found no way for Ok Google, however I have managed to keep Google Assistant as the default.

Setting the following in the Google battery settings:

Allow Background Activity, Allow auto Launch and Allow this app to lunch other apps or services, in permissions pretty much allow everything and also allow notifications. Then in Google Assistant set it to default - with all the above settings mine has not changed the default in 2 weeks so far.

I also downloaded button mapper and set the Google Assistant to launch when I press the volume button twice which made it easier to launch when I need it - button mapper needs the same settings as above otherwise the phone will kill it.

I'm wondering if there is any app where you can set custom voice commands - as if so you could set 'Ok Google' to launch assistant. Ive not really looked into it as I usually activate my assistant from a hardware button.

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Jerry69:
I am facing the issue you see in the title. When I check the battery usage, I find a lot of apps that have been active in the background for hours and hours on end.

I specifically set those apps to be "battery optimized", and I disallowed foreground and background activity/data. Still, turns out these apps do not care and stay active on the background.

These are not system apps, it's WhatsApp, Infinity For Reddit and some more. I do not want these apps to do ANYTHING unless I open them! What should I do?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Pouic:
It's pretty normal for apps to run for hours (or all the time) in background , it doesn't necessarily mean they consume resources , what are their battery % consumption in the battery apps statistics ? On my phone whatsapp or Telegram only consume 2~5% of total per day (and I send/receive a lot of messages )

The option to restrict foreground/background activity don't block the app, it will only restrict some process to prevent the app do to something berserk and drain all the resources of the phone.

Unless you force disable them (from the options or with an app but sometimes the option doesn't exist unless you rooted your phone) and enable it each time you want to use them they will continue to run in background, especially social apps that need to listen to push notifications from internet all the time .

Well I don't know what you are looking for actually, but the third link in this forum directs you to the most recognized custom rom in the market - LineageOS. Maybe this is something for you to try.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Lord Sithek:
I think you have had some expectations, and XDA doesn't work like that (at least not now). For each device there is a separate forum, and under that forum you can find threads with ROMs, kernels, recoveries and other stuff. In each thread usually you can find download links along with the instructions on how to proceed with installation. So if you are really interested with installing custom ROM, you have to make the effort of searching and reading. There is no easy way, otherwise you can screw your device for good. Please take this into consideration

I know this thread has been posted a lot but there is no device admin stopping it, I am unable to turn it on in the dev settings. It also wont let me temporarily allow it when trying to install say fortnite from epic launcher. Any help would be great. Do I need to unlock the bootloader & root to fix this or?
[Moto G Play (2021)] xPa3678x:
I just learned last night actually how to fix this! All you need to do is just factory reset your phone and then I was finally able to flip that switch! Aha
[Moto G Play (2021)] sd_shadow:
Factory reset rarely makes a difference, the problem usually seems to be the internet connection.
[Moto G Play (2021)] mario0318:
Yeah just wanted to add as well for anyone who may stumble upon this thread that no factory reset was necessary in my experience. It was a matter of having the phone active and connected for several days with the occasional reboot before checking to see if the option had become available.
[Moto G Play (2021)] tabuRebel:
Umm... I would like to interject that in my experience so far, a factory reset is the only thing that will fix this issue. I unlock people's phones for them from Google frp lock and have seen this happen three or four times. I'm not sure exactly but I think that after bypassing an frp lock there is still some sort of restriction in place until there is a secondary factory format performed with the device in an frp unlocked state. The only thing I know of that being connected with service is the resolution to, is to enable oem options because some devices require owning the device for a specific period of time before the option isn't greyed out. in which case you just gotta mess with the date and time settings and at some point disable and re enable the data. There are posts about that .. it's a little off topic here though... but yeah if there is an alternative I would love to know about it. Otherwise the only fix I have found is to factory format without a previous frp lock.
[Moto G Play (2021)] JohnLynn:
Totally agree with the post above, I had struggled with a Moto G30 after a FRP and another factory reset this time with a new google account worked.
[Moto G Play (2021)] Thursday:
I can also confirm that a factory reset fixes this. After recovering from FRP, I had the grayed out Allow unknown apps. I didn't want to factory reset again, but I didn't do it after getting past FRP. I ended up doing a factory reset from inside the recovery, and now it works the way it is supposed to.

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] scothouse:
My device is a OnePlus 8T originally purchased from T-Mobile. I unlocked the bootloader to flash OxygenOS 12 in the open beta. Everything is working splendidly, but I can't seem to relock the bootloader. Using fastboot flashing lock, I get an error message asking me to flash the unlock token first. When attempting fastboot flash cust-unlock unlock_token.bin, I get an error asking to turn on OEM unlocking. OEM unlocking is greyed out because the bootloader is unlocked. Can you help? Thanks!
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Spuffyffet:
here brother:
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] scothouse:
Thanks, but my phone asks for an unlock token when I execute fastboot oem lock or fastboot flashing lock I get the error message: FAILED (remote: 'Please flash unlock token first.') When attemptIng to flash the token, I get the error message: FAILED (remote: 'Please turn on OEM unlocking in Settings - Developer option'). I heard back from OnePlus Support, and it sounds like I would need to perform a factory reset in order to lock the bootloader. That would revert the phone to the T-Mobile OxygenOS 11 image. I unlocked the bootloader so that I could flash the global OxygenOS 12 image. Also, I'm hearing from other folks in the OnePlus Community that the bootloader should remain unlocked if I'm in the beta. I'm not sure about that, but, for now, I haven't found a way to lock the bootloader and retain the beta image. Thanks, tho, I appreciate the link.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Spuffyffet:
Yeah, there is no way to retain the beta image until OnePlus Gives an official update of OxygenOS 12 for your phone. and if you want to lock bootloader, u have to be on the official version.

BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO LOCK BOOTLOADER AND USE OxygenOS 12 FOR NOW. SO STOP SEARCHING
