Hi, my android headunit has the google play store on it because its basically a android tablet.

Google maps is updating in the play store but it is just pending endlessly and makes it so i cant update or install any other app.

When i try to cancel the update of google maps the play store crashes.

I've already deleted the cache and data of the play store but the problem doesn't go away
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
If you can roll back Gmaps to the factory load version do so.

If you can do that, block Gmap updates in Playwhore settings. Playstore is always a pain, I keep it disabled.

Hi there,

Just bought Junsun V1 Pro. I installed it today in my car.

Wi-Fi connection is working thanks to the Wi-Fi hotspot with my phone.

Searches on Google Chrome work.

But I can't use Google Play or add a Google account : it stays on "Checking info..." for like 2 minutes and then it says "There was a problem communicating with Google servers - Try again later".

Did you already face that issue ?

See attached files.

Hi, I'm trying to change my CSC to XME (Malaysia). I downloaded the files using Frija. After flashing, my phone's CSC is now XXV (Vietnam) instead.

`XXV/XXV,XXV/EUY".

Note that I am unrooted and I'm trying to change the CSC region by using official firmware so I can still keep my Knox and warranty intact.

Wondering where did I do wrong? Help is greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] aminpro715:
Update:

I've managed to change my CSC for Android 12.

When you flash a multi CSC firmware, it seems to be defaulting to a CSC which in my case, is the Vietnam XXV CSC.

I found a free tool that could change the CSC called SamFw FRP Tool 2.5

All I need to do is flash it with Odin again and when the initial setup screen shows up, go into an emergency call and type in *#0*# which will take you into the test mode.

After that, use the tool to change CSC with the tool then complete the rest of the setup on your phone.

P/s: Samsung Pay does not seem to work. When I add a card, it says invalid information when authenticating with the bank.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] Deleted member 9636854:
Hopefully the FRP tool is from a reliable source. The error message could mean the opposite. Normally the CSC from multi region is selected by the SIM cards country. Did you have 2x Malaysia inserted on first boot after flashing? Also there are dialer codes that bring up a menu to select a specific region, I think best chances are with Google phone app. You would need to search for these codes for your device.

Samsung Pay in german, CSC is EUX fix, 5 minutes

Hello This also works with most Samsung phones If anyone is struggling with Samsung pay being in German and has the csc being EUX, I know how to solve the issue and it only takes about 5 minutes. Basically the csc is set to EUX, which is the new European standard, but for some reason, Samsung...

[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] aminpro715:
Another update, Samsung Pay works after I register with another bank. It was the old bank's fault. Not the phone or CSC region change. The CSC region change worked for Samsung Pay as well from the very begining.

[OnePlus 10 Pro] biglo:
Hi everyone. I just got my OnePlus 10 Pro and ever since I had it it's been running very warm when using I checked a few apps and they all showed that the battery was running at 42° Celsius which is keeping the device warm basically all the time when I'm using it. is anyone else having this problem? This is really concerning for me.

I'm unable to update to the latest version of the formula that's available because OnePlus seems like they don't release full ROMs for the OnePlus 10. What's up with that?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] blackhawk:
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services...
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Strange, I've thrown everything at this phone and it's never got above 34.

[OnePlus 10 Pro] biglo:

[OnePlus 10 Pro] biglo:
IDK it's crazy annoying to always have a warm device when trying to use it.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] blackhawk:
It's burning up the battery too. I'm familiar with Samsung's and this is a common problem with them. The solution is to optimize the phone unless it's a purely firmware or hardware issue.

Turn off global power management.

Find the power hogs and deal with each on a case by case basis. Either by changing settings or disabling/uninstalling them or by using work arounds.

Keep trash social media apps like FB, WhatsApp, etc off the phone. Cloud storage tend to be a battery sucker, one reason I use SD cards instead.

Try using factory loaded app versions, update one at a time if at all and see what results.

Once you get it optimized I would avoid app and especially firmware updates/upgrades. These can and do break things. In your case a firmware update may correct issues on your variant so consider wisely and don't update blindly.

Anything from Pie up is relatively secure in actual use... useless you do something stupid. Security even using Pie simply isn't an issue. Updates have cost me far more time then any malware to fix. In the last 2 years no malware repairs or factory resets on this stock N10+ running on Pie.

So I wanted to flash evolution X, which flashed ok but would only boot into fastboot mode. I then went to flash stock 11 rom using the fastboot rom. It flashed ok but when it came to rebooting, the screen just went black. I cannot enter fastboot, recovery or EDL mode. Regardless of the method to get into EDL mode, the computer wont recognise the phone. Device manager doesnt show anything being plugged in and MSMdownload tool doesnt recognise it either. I have the drivers already installed so the computer should recognise it.

[General Questions and Answers] Totesnochill:
Situation:

I have somewhat of a "love-REALLY HATE" relationship with Google apps and ecosystem.

On one hand, they are great at what they do.

On the other, it's like having a spy satellite overhead, given how much telemetry it does.

Question:

I'd like to cut all of the Google apps' internet, location, sensor and background activity access for good when not in use. Or at least spoof whatever personal data is being sent (Device info, location, activities, etc). Any way to do that?

What I've done so far:

My current way-to-go method involves installing RethinkDNS+firewall, then blocking every single one of google apps including Gboard. It sort-of works, but very inconvenient, as I have to manually enable internet access for a particular app and/or service when needed. I also tried edXposed's XluaPrivacy module to cut off access to certain permissions. Again, cumbersome.

After going through F-Droid, I found an app called "Insular", that claims being able to put all of the "big brother" apps (such as Gapps) behind an isolated sandbox, a digital gulag of sorts.
[General Questions and Answers] Totesnochill:
Thanks heaps for the very in-depth response. Really opens up on a lot of things I wasnt aware of, and I realized that unlike desktop, when it comes to mobile privacy I'm still a bit behind.

Are there any guides where I can do some reading on the concepts and techniques you've described? Especially regarding contacts.db sqlite database, GPS spoofing and privacy-aware options for accessing WhatsApp.

Also, what are your thoughts on MIcroG?
[General Questions and Answers] Totesnochill:
Thank you for doing God's work out there. Ethics like these are what creates the content that keeps the internet from becoming a dumpster fire otherwise. Tutorials and explanations that come from the fellow users are THE best and usually directly on-point.

When I was just starting setting up Linux environment, I wrote "how-to notes" on every successful step. At first it was more like the "sticky notes" to help me remember, but eventually (as the list grew) I started writing these tips in a way as if they were to be read by someone with little background in the subject. What used to be the "Linux notes" file became 10563 lines monstrosity now... So every time I need to answer someone's question I just copypaste from this file.

Absolutely. I've spent about 2 weeks tweaking my new phone (Nokia X6), trying out different roms/recoveries and app setups. Pissed off a bunch of people in the process - most wouldn't understand that I'm setting up a system to last another 7 years, just like my previous phone (Galaxy Gprime). Not to mention that with the amount of sensitive info on the phone, security and privacy are a legit concern, and worth learning about just how one learns to install and use the lock on the front doors.

Phones became disposable both in software and hardware, and so have the general attitude towards the devices.

My final setup became AOSP PixelPlusUI Rom (comes with about openGapps nano worth of Google stuff) with most other stock apps (contacts , dialer, keyboards, msg etc) removed via ADB and replaced with F-Droid alternatives.

I've also used Rethink DNS with whitelist set up/AppInspector to put Google in the Goolag - no internet access for anything google-related at all times. So far my phone has 253 apps blocked (including almost all of the system apps). Surprisingly, all of the necessary apps off google play store (Whatsapp, FB messenger) still function well. Whenever I need a particular Gservice (like a translator), I just enable access for that (and only that) until I dont need it anymore.

Thanks! I'm not sure why the links didnt show up at first. I'll give this a look. I've been using "simple mobile tools" for quite a while, and I must say I like how they are completely autonomous and transparent about what prems they need and why.

I definitely saw the option in the dev settings, but didnt experiment with it. Well, now I know, thanks!

I will give microG a try (in a form of LineageOS for MicroG). In fact I did install this rom before but I was a bit confused about what it did and assumed that it is a regular LinOS repack with Gplay store and apps built-in. Time to test again.

Threads like these is how I passed my uni exams. Not even exaggerating XD. Thanks again for a very detailed insightful read!

Hello my friends, very happy to meet good hearted people who think alike about Gugle.

as my name suggests I'm noob still and didn't understand much of discussion but very happy to meet you friends. My love & warm regards to all here. Here is what I did uptill now before I saw this thread :

1> Load GSI/ROM.

2> Load TWRP

3> Load Magisk

4> Load microG

5> Install Service Disabler

5.1> Disable bunch of internal services like telemetry, analytics, location (FusedLocation not possible to disable) for every app (3-rd party & system app), contacts sync etc.

6> Install SD-Maid Pro

6.1> Freeze apps like Gugle Calendar Sync Adapter & Gugle Contacts Sync Adapter

7> Install CIAFirewall Fake VPN & configure it.

8> I use Opera browser for Banking, Youtube, Cab booking, Surfing, Gmail, Food Order etc.

9> Install Aurora Store for general app management & installation

10> For contacts I save all contacts in notepad app, and let all calls purposely bounce then I call back aftter checking whose call it was & state false apologies.

:- Gugle, Mycrowsowft , eFbee are not really to be blamed, rhey are having to comply with FBI, Phentagon, Central Intelligence Agencies, Interpol, etc. or they have to shut bizness.
[General Questions and Answers] Tom100%:
Hi, I’m glad to have found this thread as I’m not happy with how my normal Android phone is spied upon by google. But I’m not technically knowledgeable and I don’t want to risk bricking my phone by trying amateur attempts at rooting, or installing Insular, etc…

So far I have not signed in, I allow only minimum permissions, use Netguard, Aurora and FDroid, and have disabled bloatware. I also force-stop apps as much as possible when not in use, and enable Location and Bluetooth only when needed.

I know this is just an amateur, token attempt to reduce spying - so I may have to eventually buy a degoogled phone.

I’ve also done some of the privacy suggestions in the attachments you posted.

Could you help me with a couple of newbie questions…

1): I might have minimised some personal data harvested by most of the apps I use, but I guess my privacy precautions will have no significant effect on the amount of telemetry collected by google?

2): If my precautions really have no significant effect, I’m wondering if would it make any real difference if I was signed in as I don’t use any of the google backup services anyway?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] OldNoobOne:
Interesting..

BTW I found a good A13 GSI ROM that helps mute Ghapps even without applying #G.M.S-DOZE Module, all we need to do is -

1> Flash the GSI (Derpfest BvS Vanilla version, see phh list on github)

2> Then flash Lite-Ghapps module(modded version attached below)

3> Then unzip the Lite-Ghapps zip & extract the Gugle Apps & Install them manually

4> Then disable Ghapps Services using Dishabler app

5> Then disable Receiver Managers using SD-Meid app

6> Then Apply #G.M.S.-Doze module (optionally)

#Note1

- The Upside to this GSI is that:

It REALLY freezes Modded Ghapps & #G.M.S. persistent notifications from flooding the statusbar & QS drop-down notification panel while Also freezing Ghapps. (you can use Ghapps again by reversing the process whenever you need to use Gugle-Dependent apps )

#Note2

- The Downside to this GSI is that:

1> The Alarm ogg files are not linked to the clock app properly so the Alarm goes of silently (workaround is using Simple Mobille Tools Clock App, any other clock app <not even Gugle Desk Clock > can sound the alarm).

2> Battery drainage is a bit fast so its pretty much 1-day battery if you use your phone a lot.

3> I'm still testing Banking apps, should work with USNF 4.0 Mod i hope.

4> No Carrier Aggregation

5> Only boots on A12 System Firmware, didnt boot on A13 CWD1 update.

#Note3

- Avoid Custom Kernels maybe.

I'm not exactly sure how to describe the issue as I do not know the correct terminology.

I have a Samsung Note 5. During disassembly to replace the battery, the corners of the design on the front have peeled away from the inside of the front assembly. That is, the inside of the glass panel of the front.

Before. Note the gold decal of the front screen, the gold design around the display, and especially the corners (pink) to the left and right of the speaker. This is a picture from before the battery was replaced. Looking at the left corner, the decal was already beginning to peel off. Unfortunately, it got worse. The edge indicated by the green line is the screen protector.

View attachment 5629819

After the replacement of the battery:

and now also the right and bottom corners have begun to peel away from the inside of the screen:
