My apologies.

I see your the best thing to happen to the Pixel 6 since March of 2022.

I am very sorry and I bow down to you.
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
considering you don't want anything but the factory google experience and crap on everyone who wants anything else. i truly do wonder why you are here.
[Google Pixel 6] vandyman:
I am not sure why you need to know how I mod my Pixel. Do you mean that I can not use adb and fastboot as I have posted above?

LOL, reading some of your posts in the other threads. You are the king of insults and BS.

when returning insults from twits becomes a crime,ill happily be a criminal.

once again since you have never used twrp and will never use it, explain why you are here telling everyone it has no use. you must know all about it before you tell everyone its useless
[Google Pixel 6] vandyman:
I am not sure why you insist on my background of modding android. Okay I will byte.

I have used Clockworks mods and Phil's recovery long before TWRP.

I have used 90% of Google phones. The Galaxy Nexus, the Nexus series and Most of the Pixel series.

And yes I have used TWRP on a few of them.

I have found that since Android 10.0 was released, it was not necessary for TWRP anymore.

Most modding can be done with just using adb and fastboot.

If I need to tweak the OS. I use SuperR to make changes.

Now I do use TWRP on some of my Android tv projects for quick testing a change.

Now that you know a tiny piece of my background. Maybe you can can just stop being anal.

Poking the bear does not help. 🐻
[Google Pixel 6] slogar25:
All of the above are all valid arguments for and against the need for TWRP. I have found it to be a pain trying to copy files to a computer to try and make all restores go faster than a two hour battery draining experience. TWRP gives us the ability to wipe without wiping data/media thus giving the appearance of an external sd card. For me, this makes the flashing customs experience more enjoyable as backup apps like Swift Backup are much faster restores coming from internal storage and not cloud. Just my two cents
[Google Pixel 6] nutzcase:
You know what they say. Wish in one hand....

If TWRP was available for the Pixel, you would still have to copy the Roms, files, etc to the Pixel.
[Google Pixel 6] slogar25:
Not entirely true. As I said, a factory reset in twrp preserves internal storage ie you wouldn't lose anything stored on it like swift backup folder, roms, and twrp backups. Which is the entire purpose of twrp not wiping internal storage
[Google Pixel 6] J0nhy:
Not true at all, it could be downloaded to pixel directly
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] terrorist96:
I have a Bixby Routine created so that whenever my phone connects to my car's Bluetooth, then turn on mobile hotspot. The issue is that when this event triggers, the mobile hotspot says "Please wait while verifying" then I usually get an error saying "Unable to connect". If I manually turn on mobile hotspot, it works. If turn off my Bluetooth then turn it back on and connect to my car's Bluetooth in order to re-trigger the routine, it works. But when I first get in my car and the Bluetooth connects, the hotspot fails to turn on because it thinks there's no data. I thought maybe it was due to battery optimization since my phone's screen is off, so I disabled optimization for the settings app, but that didn't fix it. I've tried playing with the mobile hotspot settings, but that also hasn't fixed it. I thought maybe it was my adblocker, so I turned that off, turned off my screen, got in my car, it tried to turn on the hotspot, but still said unable to connect. I'm running out of ideas.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] terrorist96:
I think I figured it out. The error only happens when the phone is locked. I deduced this because when my phone is locked and want to turn on the hotspot, I have to unlock it before it turns on. Thus, if my phone is unlocked before the Bixby routine triggers, no error. Unfortunately, enabling the "keep your phone unlocked" routine option (works via Smart Lock) doesn't help, even if I have it set to occur before the hotspot in the list of routine actions. I have to make sure the phone is unlocked before the Bluetooth connection/routine trigger.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] richhaynes:
I'm confused about your "keep phone unlocked" routine. Why do you even have a routine for this when Smart Lock can do it for you all on its own. If you're using some kind of routine for both unlocking and toggling hotspot then the order of this would be important but any delay to the unlocking would interfere with the hotspot routine and cause failure. Under Smart lock settings, if you have added your cars Bluetooth as a trusted device then this will run instantly and then the routine should work as this is always likely to be slower. If it still isn't, consider adding a delay in the hotspot routine after the trigger but before the action so that it gives time for the unlock to happen (should be instant but you never know).
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] terrorist96:
Thanks for the reply. Smart Lock says "After you unlock your phone, it stays unlocked when it's connected to a trusted device..."

If I add my car's Bluetooth connection as a trusted device under Smart Lock, it says "Smart Lock can't detect the security features of this device. To help protect your phone, *Bluetooth device* will only be able to keep your phone unlocked once it's already unlocked by you. Your *Bluetooth device* can keep your phone unlocked when it's nearby, even if someone else is holding it."

So regardless, I have to initially unlock my phone myself manually. Keeping it unlocked isn't useful if it can't do the initial unlock on its own, which is what I need in order for the mobile hotspot to be able to turn on. So enabling Smart Lock directly or via Bixby Routines doesn't seem to make a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] richhaynes:
Ah. Ok. That makes complete sense. I've never come across that message about security features before which is strange because my cars Bluetooth is 12 years old! You think it would be prime for that message. Unfortunately I can't think of anything else that can perform an unlock automatically. Maybe you will have to get used to unlocking your phone on the walk to the car.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] terrorist96:
Yep, exactly. I've made it a habit now to make sure the phone is unlocked before turning the car on and that's been working.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] terrorist96:
I'm beyond explaining this...

I've sent over 20 messages and they keep copy pasting the same few templates.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] supern001:
same here. i want to auto unlock my phone when the car's bluetooth is connected. So that an app can run correctly(it doesn't run when the phone is locked).

"Smart Lock can't detect the security features of this device. To help protect your phone, *Bluetooth device* will only be able to keep your phone unlocked once it's already unlocked by you. Your *Bluetooth device* can keep your phone unlocked when it's nearby, even if someone else is holding it."

This message sucks. what kind of security features? what criteria it must have for it to work? it doesn't say anything. and i can't find any info about this.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Tinythejuggalo:
so ive been searching the past week on this im looking to see if its possible to root my new fold3 my model number is SM-F926U1 and my build number is SP1A.210812.016.F926U1UEU1CVC5.

if someone could please point me in the right direction. i would greatly appreciate it. as there are certain apps i use that require root,
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] cpufrost:
That's unlocked USA model and not rootable at this time.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] cpufrost:
Don't see it happening. The days of unlocked bootloaders, TWRP and even simple root seem to be over for the unlocked USA snapdragon versions. I can live with that but no esim on the 'ultra flagship' device is simply unacceptable, IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dirtybudha:
If you go back and read the posts about rooting, you will find the all but 1 or 2 models can be unlocked. the US Unlocked is not rootable. Make sure you read through the posts, you can usually find the answer in the threads.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Tinythejuggalo:
I appreciate the responses. So let's say I was willing g to sell this one to buy one that can be rooted. Which model am I looking for? I just use a prepaid phone service. But like being able to jump from one service to another.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dirtybudha:
That is also listed on the forum thread titles.

SM-F926B​
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Tinythejuggalo:
Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Skizzy034:
Isn't there a paid service that unlocks the US bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ycats:
What about model SM-F926U? rootable or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dirtybudha:
As stated here and in other threads, there is no root for the U/U1. Doing so has negative effects to the ROM, such as disabling the camera.

IF there was/is a successful Root process, the community will blow up with threads explaining how.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ycats:
So the following link below is wrong:

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] pvillasuso:
Try it out ! and tell us back

Checkout if you have the OEM option (@ developer options) to enable it ..

That is the first step to unlock the bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ycats:
Not seeing that OEM option in Developer options.............so I'm not willing to try it out, don't want to brick the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] pvillasuso:
Exactly !!!

Because you can't unlock the bootloader as said before , no OEM option = no unlock

So that link is wrong unfortunately
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] dirtybudha:
Yes, any post that says they can root the Fold 3 U/U1 is wrong. You will have consequences like losing camera and such.

Yes, it is wrong. This has been explored at length. I'm sorry it isn't a reality, but that's where we are.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ycats:
appreciate the feedback..................back in the day with Windows Mobile OS phones, I would flash custom roms all the time, then the same with android HTC devices......................but haven't tried rooting since the Note-8.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] pvillasuso:
Root for me =

Viper4Android ( main reason to be rooted )

Swift Backup ( to backup/restore DATA , to/from device or Cloud ) ( second reason to be rooted )

AdAway

Samsung App Lock

Root Explorer

Galaxy Max Hz

AndroidZip Pro

#Hex

Some other magisk modules

Those are my main apps /magisk modules that requieres to be rooted
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ycats:
thanks.............curious why that OEM unlocking option isn't in Developer Options?

My reasons for rooting in the past was for using Adaway to remove all of the ads, also for tethering.........I still use Root Explorer app although not rooted obviously. Ever since Android 12, I can no longer side load apk files and have yet to figure that out.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Talderon:
You know, in the past with the G1 and earlier Android devices, Root was almost ESSENTIAL... but now?

The biggest reason I hear people wanting to Root is to debloat and Ad Blocking.

1. Debloat - Most everything can be uninstalled or disabled now, so not as big of an issue.

2. Ad Blocking - I think this is where I have to disagree with most people.

Rooting is great and it can be fun IF YOU ARE INTO THAT... but SOOOOOO many people want Root because they think it's the ONLY way to get certain capabilities. Ad Removal is a big one and one that I think is really not on point anymore. I use a paid application called AdGuard. I am NOT rooted and yet, I see no ads on my phone. This actually works as good, if not better than the Root ones.

The issue now, and back in the day, your phones stability is always in question. So many ROM's are just not as stable as they NEED to be for MOST users to use as their daily, relied upon device. That is the #1 reason why I stopped rooting.

As a LEARNING experience and to get more people into the platform and making ROM's and having a better understanding of the OS is AWESOME. I am NOT Anti-Root, I just think that people REALLY should evaluate their use-case more carefully to see if they REALLY NEED it or not. I am willing to bet that most people will realize they don't really need it anymore.

I take every advantage of the community here when I have an older device laying around. The biggest reasons I root OLDER devices that are no longer going to be a daily driver or backup device is to get the latest OS supported on the device after official support ends, so I REALLY LOVE the rooting community here.

Anyhow, just my 2 cents on this. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ycats:
I agree, not really needing root anymore. I use "dns.adguard.com" in the More Connection Settings - Private DNS and that gets rid of most ads.

Tethering, found a way around that using an ADB command.
[Samsung Galaxy A50s Questions & Answers] paulckruger:
I recently got a refurbished A50 and happy for most part despite few design issues I have with the GUI.

But the one problem that is an issue is that I am not able to rename any images in gallery. I can rename them in file manager but that is a real pain.

I tried several different galleries and the same happens in all of them.

The error is:

An error occurred: java.lang.NullPointerException:authority

Any ideas on why and how to fix?

Thanks much.
[Samsung Galaxy A50s Questions & Answers] paulckruger:
In another forum was suggested that since images on SD card I need to set permissions to rename on that card. But no indication how to go about that.

The typical permissions settings for the gallery apps already say they have all storage permissions and I see nothing specific to location such as internal vs sdcard?

Is there some other place to grant read/write permissions to rename files on SD Card? One would think that if Gallery could not alter names it also could not move images or even create new folders on the SD Card?

Does anyone here own a chromebook ? And know how to use it for file transfer to and from the s22 ultra ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Katmeat:
You can use Google Drive, which is likely the easiest way. Some Chromebooks can connect through Bluetooth. Or, I can connect through an NAS. Or, my young son often just emails files to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dalepl:
Did a quick search and found this:

Unlock your phone.

With a USB cable, connect your phone to your Chromebook.

Unlock your phone.

On your phone, tap the "Charging this device via USB" notification.

Under "Use USB for," select File Transfer.

On your Chromebook, the Files app opens. Use it to drag files. ...

When you're done, unplug the USB cable.

https://support.google.com/android/...d to,7 When you're done, unplug the USB cable.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gav83collins:
Yeah that's how I would normally connect a device, but the option isn't available in the charging tab when connected to the chromebook , I've tried type c to type c and a type c to usb 3 adapter at one and both ends of the cable it still just gives the charge only tab ??

[General Questions and Answers] tworla:

I keep getting these BS notifications from this built in App. To make matters worse, android prevents users from messing with system notifications. I thought one of the core functionalities with android was it's "customization"? It doesn't appear that android is very customizable AT ALL. I don't want to be bothered by notifications in the middle of the night about how Google Maps got my location permissions.. bla bla bla. The average user DOES NOT NEED TO KNOW THIS. This is why Apple is so much more superior than goofy android.

Anyways. Without breaking my phone again by disabling the permission controller app through ADB, how can I disable these pop ups permanently? I haven't tried tasker and auto notification because they don't actually disable these damn things, just dismiss them after the fact. What the hell is the point of that?

That's like this other app I downloaded called Robo Killer, terminates unwanted phone calls after they ring through, rather than rejecting them before you even notice.

Android is just garbage man.
[General Questions and Answers] sayno2quat:
Without root, you can't disable the permissions even with adb. Running this command would normally revoke permissions for notifications:

pm revoke com.google.android.permissioncontroller android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS

However, without root, this is the response you'll get:

If you "adb shell" and then "su" before running the same command, you'll still get the same error message. However, if you have root and instead run this command to specify the UID, you can successfully revoke the permission to the permission controller app:

su - 1000 -c pm revoke com.google.android.permissioncontroller android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS

I found this solution from a GitHub comment for a different system app that the person wanted to revoke notification permissions from. Like you, I wanted to block the Permission Controller app notifications, so I found the package name of the app and modified the command I found here. https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager/issues/1248#issuecomment-1865015989

Note that a comment below on that GitHub page says the permission seemingly cannot be granted again after revoking. I also attempted to grant the permission, and I see the permission is still revoked. I don't really care, but it's something to watch out for. I don't know how to restore the permission successfully.

This should work, but the permission still looks to be off after running. Running as UID 1000, as root, and as a non-root user all return an empty response indicating success, but the slider remains off.

su - 1000 -c pm grant com.google.android.permissioncontroller android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS
su -c pm grant com.google.android.permissioncontroller android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS
pm grant com.google.android.permissioncontroller android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] dannieboiz:
Setup pay on the watch and used it a few time and love it but hated the fact that I have to enter pin or pattern everytime I want to do anything else. Why can't they just setup so that we only need it for the pay app itself.

Has anyone figure out how to bypass this stupid crap?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] p51d007:
The only time I have to enter the PIN, is if I take the watch off, turn it off/on, or the watch is loose on my wrist.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] dannieboiz:
Upon installing it it apears to be this way. I told my wife that my watch didn't do this (she set her watch up first and complain about it and took it off) It lasted all day this way and I was really excited. Later that evening I had to power cycle my watch and when it came back it started to lock all the time.

In fact, it was working in a way that it wouldn't lock until I put it on the charger and I was bragging to her about it and demonstrating it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] TheIntruder:
Same here..
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
Jesus not this again.....

You either want to use GPay and have security, or you dont setup GPay....simples....it should be obvious why the PIN is required

Its been discussed before...if you wear the watch properly, you generally have to put in the PIN once, or at least i do, after i wake up in the morning, because ive rolled in the night and broken skin contact.

And on that point, if you keep having to put the PIN in, youre not wearing the watch properly, because it uses the same sensors to track physical activity to detect when the watch isnt on, so youre wasting your time tracking health info as well.

Please for the love of god, no more flipping threads on this....
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] crxssi:
My A52 5G used to work fine until the update to Android 12. Now for some reason, it will sometimes not connect to WiFi and the icon is grey. When I tap on it, it turns light blue and does nothing. If I roll up the quick settings and roll it back down, it is just grey again. If I go in full settings, it is just off. When I try to turn it on, it, too, goes to light blue and just sits like that forever without turning WiFi on. Back out of it, go back in, and it is still off. No problem with bluetooth. And hotspot is not on.

I have never seen this problem on any Android device, and not on this device until Android 12. The ONLY way I can get WiFi to come back on is to restart/reboot the phone. Then it is immediately on, the icon is dark blue, and is connected. And I can turn it off or back on again with no problem. I have seen it do this at least 5 times over the past few months.

Anyone else see this behavior? I am tired of having to reboot the phone just to get WiFi on again! Thanks
