Recently Amazon has increased its retaliation tactics against developers ,

modders , and really anyone who believes in ownership rights .

Recently they have pushed out updates to most Amazon devices that

first continuously look out and spy on your device , looking out if you install any

software that Amazon would feel in opposition to its corporate best Interests.

Second , some of these evasive updates also reprogram and change how the box originally acts and functions. You purchased your device because you originally enjoyed

its capabilities , however with the updates they in fact cloak your device into something

you would no longer want to use because they are now further limiting your devices

functions.

Many fire device owners are now noticing Amazon now has the ability to blacklist

certain software's , and when their scan processes find said software on your device,

they will automatically delete it from your device .

They can also now send updates that block such things as certain firewall software ,

and custom software that before would help us block some of these evasive updates, are now also unable to install .

The only way to protect our own property from these aggressive tactics is to first

take action as SOON as your aware of these updates .

IF you WERE NOT yet hit with the newest and worst updates yet , you can still use

Android software such as firewalls , or similar VPN softwares that explicitly

are able to be set to block the ota update settings .

If You WERE hit with more of these newer updates , the device may in fact now block you

from installing similar software. right now its more trial and error.

One thing is known is that some of these updates explicitly locked many of the

known methods that worked to block updates , like the update blocker tool .

Its yet to be seen if your device was hit with these updates yet , exactly what you can

use then because most of the changes would have already took place .

some other things Amazon's updates have been known to change and block has been ,

Ability to unlock devices bootloader ,

ability to root device , and or also maintain root .

ability to customize home screen with custom launcher , and customized

menu .

I hope everyone can see that Amazon is not out for your best interest .

They do not agree that your device is your property , or that YOU should have the right

to not allow updates to change how your box or device runs and works .

Further ,

They are now changing how your device once functioned .

you purchased it for what it was capable of , now they are essentially flashing it into

a product you did not agree to buy .

There's more to this , but for right now ill stop here .

Hope your upset about this as much as I am.

Chris.

However, we have no idea when those activities will take place. I recall a handful of instances with Facebook where people recognized that the social media network was talking with the CIA and provided the confidential data of a section of its consumers without any legal justifications, as revealed by various informative dumps.

Update.

I recently found out Amazon is also targeting content creators on YouTube who

create how to videos on unlocking and flashing certain capable older Amazon devices.

These creators are served with a dcma claim via Amazon , and also YouTube and

their video is removed along with receiving channel strikes or channel removal .

In 2023 , this is what America looks like .

Less and less freedoms and the government in bed with Amazon.

Personally , I'm also at a crossroads because every month I too along with

so many others shop on Amazon because I can find cheap buys and fast shipping.

I can't be a hipocrate and say otherwise . I do know if I couldn't find the cheap

buys that I need on Amazon that also has fast Shipping , I would be screwed.

I really just wish Amazon would mutually respect certain key issues and

maybe everyone could live together in peace for the most part.

[Off-topic] fleisch80:
how are you .

I'm glad you asked that.

I've been in touch with amazon tech a few times and they are very nasty.

they tell me that when someone buys an amazon product , they are 100 percent agreeing to the device being full controlled by amazon and

all of the terms set forth by amazon .

this however is wrong , partly because it used to be that for the amazon product owners who didn't want to be device locked, or locked into device updates , they would still allow the customer the option to opt out and

control their own products ,

however around 2018 starting with the fire tablet 7, gen 9 they

secretly started to lock everything down leaving the customer screwed and

without knowledge people were now buying products that

were not really much value .

I am never buying another brand new amazon product ever again .

Bug Report (may be hardware related, maybe source related) Bluetooth doesn't seem to work for me in most if not all Android 12 roms I've tried, including this one. I go to turn it on, it stays stuck on turning on bt, then when you navigate away from either QS or in settings > connections > bt, then go back to it, it has turned off again. Tried with and without Magisk 24.3 installed as a zip immediately after installing rom, still happens.

Tried this rom dated 2022-04-15, LineageOS 19.1 - 2022-04-12, Project Elixir 1.5, and ArrowsOS (both Vanilla with at first go NikGapps and the FlameGapps, and GAPPS) version 2022-03-17. All were data wiped, then wiped system, vender, cache, dalvik, data, and internal between installs. It seems to work under official Android 10 firmware, if that helps. Haven't tried under Android 11.

Using an Australian s9 Starlte

EDIT: Beginning to think it's a bt hardware issue, as I don't usually use bt under stock, due to only having one other device to connect to, being a laptop, and it being slower than molasses to transfer files via bt.

[P6500 ROM development] carrot34:
Hi, everyone -- Orange (UK) has just released a WM6.1 update for their Sedna. Has anyone tried it? I'm tempted to, but I've got an unlocked phone from HTC (not the Orange version) and am concerned about compatibility. Does anyone know if the Orange update will work properly with the HTC unlocked model? Or if HTC is planning to release their own update?

Thanks, Alan
[P6500 ROM development] drfrenchkiss101:
:rolleyes:

Dude Alan !

I've downloaded the Orange update for the sedna, I was using the unlocked version of Orange and it still works fine as unlocked one even after updating to WM 6.1

I guess you'll get the Orange internet setting and things like those only but won't get locked.

Dude its upto your choice I have given you the fact only.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] alexgilmore85:
Hello all,

I have an S21 Ultra that was originally a T-Mobile device, was unlocked, and then flashed to "factory unlocked" 998U1 firmware as found on this forum, and used with AT&T. Since the shutdown of their 3G network, however, I have been unable to make or receive calls and the "Enhanced LTE Services" option under Network Settings is unavailable to me. After a ton of fruitless troubleshooting, AT&T says I need new firmware. I was going to install the AT&T-branded U1 firmware from SamMobile in hopes that would solve my issue, but whenever I try to go to the bootloader to flash the new firmware, the phone just boots normally instead. I can't seem to access the bootloader, even after factory resetting the device.

Samsung has offered to reflash the device back to factory settings, which would make it a T-Mobile device (unlocked, presumably?) again. Does anybody know if the AT&T firmware linked above will work with VoLTE on their network? Would I be able to flash to that again to get the bloatware-and-branding-free experience while still having the device work as a phone?

Thanks for any knowledge or help, I've been beating my head against this thing for nearly a month now.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] alexgilmore85:
I may have solved my issue! Fingers crossed, will confirm tomorrow once I'm sure, but so far, here's what it looks like:

I had installed what I believed to be standard Samsung U1 firmware which I assumed would work regardless of carrier - I believe from this thread but don't quote me on that. Regardless, it was unbranded. When AT&T shut down their 3G network, I was hosed because the U1 firmware I'd installed did not have VoLTE/"Enhanced LTE Services" or anything like that as an option I could enable. After a ton of time, I finally figured out that it was a firmware/baseband issue.

So I downloaded the AT&T "branded" U1 firmware from SamMobile but the recovery menu wouldn't let me access the bootloader for as-yet-unknown reasons. The instructions to hold volume-down+power got me into the recovery menu, but that was as far as I could get. However, Iater discovered that with the device plugged into my computer, I could boot it directly into the bootloader by holding volume-down+volume-up. With that accomplished, I installed the AT&T U1 firmware and viola! VoLTE options were available, and with my SIM card installed I could finally make calls again!

Will use it all day tomorrow, see how things go and report back.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ldbrown01:
Could you help me i am basically in the same boat! What firmware for at&t did you download and where? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] alexgilmore85:
I used the firmware at this link: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...M-G998U1/ATT/download/G998U1UES5CVCB/1627452/

I couldn't get to the bootloader from the recovery menu, but could by using both volume keys simultaneously while the phone was powered off and plugged into the computer. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kmdigital:
There's a good thread on Reddit regarding CSC issues when flashing branded S21 devices to U1 firmware. Essentially, on the S21 series, particularly for TMB CSCs, it tends to be difficult to get the correct CSC software for VZW and ATT, particularly after flashing to U1 from U firmware. See this,

Finally, i got my HD today. Everything is working fine, except for one thing.

I'm not able connect with my bluetooth carkit. I've tried severall things: Carkit searching my device, which was visible and device searching for carkit. Both without success :mad:

Anybody an idea what i'm doing wrong here?
[Touch HD General] Acelister:
This may sound like I'm being condescending, but I'm not. Have you tried turning it off and then back on? The HD has a couple of problems that are solved by a power cycle. If it still doesn't work, then is the carkit compatible with HTC's? It's not a Sony Ericsson one is it? Their Bluetooth tech isn't very pally with other devices.
[Touch HD General] freggelfrot:
What do you mean with a power cycle?

I turned the device several times off. Performed several resets. No luck. The carkit is working fine with my old HTC 3600
[Touch HD General] blackb1ade:
The Bluetooth [for phone/A2DP etc] in WM is pretty retarded when you compare it with phone manufacturers like motorola and nokia who have had it down perfect for years now - it's one of may major gripes with WM (and why I can't wait for Android, then some clever person can hopefully develop a BT interface that WORKS properly...anyway) - I've not tried to hook mine up to the car yet [will try tonight] but if it's any consolation my Diamond took a few go's to get hooked up as well (in both cars - seemed to prefer the Parrot unit though)

Just one thing - you DO have the bluetooth set so that it is visible to other devices right? (I know that may sound a bit patronising, but I have to confess to one time getting really bent out of shape trying to hook up my headphones and eventualy realising that I hadn't set the phone to visible....ahem...)

***EDIT:

Later that day....

Ok - DITTO that - just tried many many times over and my HD will NOT connect to the Parrot 3200 in my car - NOT good [haven't tried the wifes car yet as I'm just too pi55ed off right now]. This unfortunately Is a deal breaker for me and I'll have to sell it on if it wont hook up (how retarded is that, even my humble ancient motorola works perfectly in the cars!)

***Second Edit:

Just FYI/update: Soft reset - and hooked up straight away. (So if you have issues, try a soft reset)

Got my HD yesterday, was able to pair Motorola S9 BT, both in headset and A2DP and listened to podcasts via RSS HUB. Today, nothing works!!!!

Tried soft-rebooting HD and restarting headset to no avail. HELP!
[Touch HD General] TurboPower:
Same problem here. I was able to pair my HTC Touch HD with a JVC KW-NX7000 radio/Nav. On the display of the JVC I can see the batterypower of the HTC and the signal of my provider (Vodafone). My adresbook is transferred to the JVC, I can place a call from my JVC and then I get an error. When I turn on the screen of the HD Touch HD and then place a call on my JVC everything works fine. The problem seems to be, that the screen of the phone doesn't turn on when I place a call. When I dial a number on my phone, everything works fine.

I hope that someone has an answer to these problems.

I thought the problems had to do with the JVC but now I have my doubts.
[Touch HD General] TurboPower:
Today I removed my bluetooth-connection and tried to make a new connection between my HTC Touch HD and the JVC KW-NX7000 radio/navigation in my car. On top of the screen of the HTC I saw two icons appear. (Left from the 3G icon)

I was surprised to see everything work, even though it was just for a short period. I could place a call from my JVC, the screen on my HTC turned on, the number was dialed and I got connected. At some point 1 of the 2 icons disappeared and again I wasn't able to make any calls from my JVC. The problem has something to do with those 2 icons which (should) appear when you make a bluetooth connection. I hope that somebody can help me with my problem.
[Touch HD General] james00000007:
Personally I think the bluetooth is bugged. This is what I have figured out when connecting my headset.

First time I paired everything worked fine. The paring profile was correct. There are two differnt profiles matched -1st the wireless stero and 2nd Headset

So this gives me two functions after pairing - 1 = listening music on my wirless headphones and 2 = making and recieving calls through the heahphones.

This gave me two icons - 1 being headphones with music symbol (wireless stero profile) 2 being headphones with another round symbol i cant make out (for the headset profile)

After you disconnect both the phone and headset the problems start. I turn on the blueooth on phone and headset, but I only get one symbol appear and thats the second one. This means i can use to make recieve call but not listen to music.

After along time messing about i found out that if you go back into the bluetooth device profiles and remove the tick for wirless stero and save config - then go back in and re-tick and then save evething starts working again until you disconnect again

I now have to do the remove tick and add tick everytime I want to use my bluetooth headset which is annoying. Thats why im conviced there are problems, so becareful when you setup as it might be working first time but you wont know unless u check it straight away on the initial pairing

Got excactly the same problem. Tried A2DPToggle but that thoes not work on my T-HD. Hope someby knows a tool or an answer for this.
[Touch HD General] dh-paule:
absolutely agree , bluetooth is buggy !!! :mad:

sometimes I am loosing the connection to my car , sometimes it worked fine for hours , sometimes only for minutes

if I am listening to music (ds980) and receive a call, the connection to hear music is lost after closing the call

if I have some longer calls, sometimes the connection drops

so at the moment bluetooth @ HD is absolutely not stable !
[Touch HD General] palah:
buggy BT still happening?

Had issues with Nokia E71 randomly dropping/reconecting BT ... sometimes dropping during a call ... sold it on eBay

Brought Omnia i900 - Voice over BT headset does not work ... (but now a fix has been found over at modaco.com so happy)

was seriously looking at touch HD but will not if this thread is correct as sick of paying out good $$$ and finding a must have feature is not working

Q. has a fix been found or is BT still buggy

thanks

Bluetooth Problem

I think the problem may have something to do with multi-function devices (make and receive calls + stream music) I'm having problems with my Jabra

SP700 ,pairs no problem , 2 icons in top bar , can make calls and play music. Switch off phone or Jabra and then reconnect I can only make calls, no music, even though the 2 icons are displayed in top bar. I also have a Sony Erricson external speaker and a pair of Sony headphones both of which work fine no problem. Is this something that can be fixed with updated bluetooth drivers for HD?
